Little groups of spetators dissolved and fell back to the rear of the hall. "The house will come to order," snid the secretary of state. It was just a trifle after the noon hour and the thirtieth regular session of the lower house of the Kansas legisla ture was ready for work. R-v. A. J. Pyle. who was slated for chaplain, offered a brief prayer. Then producing the official list of rep resentatives as declared elected by the state canvassing board, Secretary Bur row gave them to V. P. Mason, chief clerk, to be road. As he read the mem bers presented themselves at the speaker's desk and subscribed to the oath -f office, administered by Chief Justice Johnston. It has been more than a decade since any Kansas house has been so over whelmingly Republican as the one which began business today. Only a lit tle margin of thirty members appeared on the fusion side fusion edge, rathei for the ninety-five Republicans filled neMr:v the entire floor. S. S. Klrkpatrick of Wilson county was also absent. He was called to Guthrie. Okla.. last night by a telegram announcing the serious illness of his daughter. As soon as the swearing in of the members had been completed, Cyrus Behind nominated Bevington of Jewell for temporary speaker, it was seconded by Jenks of Franklin, and Bevington w;s elected by acclamation. Secretary Burrow appointed George J. Barker and Cyrus Leland as a commit tee to esi ort Mr. Bevington to the chair, which ore:' to. 1 a ripple of amusement.

As he took the chair Speaker Pringle said "As I take this chair to which you have elected me, I wish to thank you most sincerely for this expression of confidence and good will which you have given me "I trus:. tint whatever of difference there may have been between us, it may Ve foigouen to the ead tnat the work of this legislature may be of such, a char ily llt Ui-.i wnen tesieu by uuiu ana cx-pc- irate it uuty iiiet-L ma approval 01 pepie oi IMS el'11- slate wnom we ixj.i esent. ror myself and the officers whom you are about to elect 1 asK youi Pi.enee, inuuitciiie ana kindly assist ance." x.

Jones was electea by a vote of si to -6, and was sworn in as speaicer yru tn. on motion of Hale of Rush of the mi nority, the same roll call was entered on the balance of the officers, as toi lows: Chief Clerk W. P. Mason of Neosho. Scrgeant-at-arms S. K. Cave of Has kell. Doorkeeper J. H. McFarland, of Lin coin chaplain Rev. A. C. Pyle, of Leaven worth. Postmistress Mrs. Kvalyn Bradford, ol cloud. The list of pages was the same as adopted in the house caucus. The rules of the last legislature were adopted on motion 01: liarker of Doug las, and Jones of Norton Introduced a resolution to seat J. D. Miller of Lin coln county in the place of D. K. Books, and with the resolution came a dis claimer signed by Books giving up the scat. This raised a protest from Buck lin of Thomas, on the minority side. He had started in on a speech when Speak er Pringle ruled that the resolution should go over one day under the rules. Then followed a rush of resolutions, one to notify the governor that the house was ready for business, another to notify the senate, another to give the state board of agriculture the use of Representative hall for its night meet ings and various others of a minor na ture Representatives Dougherty, Barker and Waggener were appointed as a commit tee to notify Governor Bailey that the house was ready for business. Betts of Shawnee presented a resolu tion appointing Joseph Sproat to look after the ventilation and heating of the hall, but it was summarily laid on the table. Next to the middle aisle in the front row sat John Francis, Ia:rL year chair man of the ways and means committee and one of the old-time members of the house. Across the aisle from him sat J. M. Nation of Neosho. In the sec ond seat north of Nation sat Cyrus Leland. now the "father of the house," although this is the first session he has occupied a seat on the floor of the house for nearly forty years. In 105, while Mr. Lel.ind was still in the army he was elected to the legislature from Doniphan county and served in the house the following winter. That w-as years hefore the state house was built and the house met in a little hal! over some stores down on Kansas avenue. By Leland's side sat John L. King of Ottawa county, smooth-faced, pink checked and blue-eyed, the "baby oi the house." Away over in the northwest corner sat B. P. Waggener, for many years an important member of the third house, but row for the fu-t timii occupying a seat on the floor of the house and an- swerins- to roll call. He will be one ot j the ir'trre'ir,g fie-nres of the present s- ssion of the legislature. Awav over on the south side sat Geo. i J. Barker, ey-spe.--il.;pr of t bouse. i LELAND CALLED FIRST.

Books, the fusion candi date, was called. Books received a ma jority of only four on the face of the returns over J. D. Miller, the Republi can candidate. Miller has filed a contest for the seat and it has been reported that Books will give up without a struggle, and this re port was cnniirmed by the fact that Miller did not appear to be sworn in when his name was called. There was a vacancy in the Eighty-seventh dis trict, w'hieh comprises Lincoln county. A short recess was taken to allow the committee to wait on the governor, but at 2 o'clock a report came to the house that Governor Bailey had gone to lunch eon, ard a further recess was taken to 4 o'clock.

TILL FIGHTING, Sultan of Slorocco Being Over come by the Pretender. Madrid, Jan. 13. Fighting is proceed ing between the troops of the sultan of Morocco and the forces of the pretender to the throne, according to a dispatch received by the Globo from Fez. The followers of the oretender are said to be overcoming the imperial troops. The corresoondent of the Globo adds that the inhabitants of Fez have risen against the sultan and that anxiety reigns at Rabat, where the Europeans are in fear of an immediate attack by the pretender's forces. The sultan's rep resentative at Tangier has been ordered to seize cattle and to dispatch reinforce ments to the suitan. GROCERS MEET. Principal Address Deals With the Department Store. Kansas City, Mo., Jan. 13. Grocers are here from all parts of the country to attend the sixth annual convention of the national association of retail gro cers which opened a three days' meeting in Warwick hall today. Three hundred delegates are expected, but only two thirds of that number had arrived when the first session was called to order this morning. One of the largest delegations was from Minnesota. Ail the national officers of the association are here and according to President Joseph E. Wil liams of South Bend, Ind., important work will be done. National Secretary Charles Pfeffer of St. Louis said: "We want to take such definite action that the passage of a national pure food law will be assured. We also wish to amend the interstate commerce law, Which discriminates against the small merchant. Legislation is also desired to prevent wholesale grocers from selling directly to consumers." Two fights are looked for, one on the j proposition to change the name of the association with a view to making its j scope broader and another on the next I convention place. San Francisco. Buf falo, Washington. Atlanta, Dallas and Little Rock are competing for the honor. President Williams and Secretary Pfeffer are uy for re-election. I The first session was taken up prin 1 cipally in routine work and closed with an address by William Gray of Brook lyn on "The Evils of the Department Store." In the afternoon the annual reports of the various officers were presented and an address by Paul Findlay, Madi- son, Wis., was on the programme- ten little Indians Arrested and Placed in Jail for Killing a White Man. South McAlester, I. T., Jan. 13. Ten Indians have been arrested and placed in the federal jail here on suspicion of naving killed Douglas Allen, a hunter, near Atoka, last week. A party of hunters composed of Douglas Allen, Horace Allen and John Scarberry, all w Lite nvn, were camping in the w oods trapping game. A band of full blood Indians came to the camp and demand ed the guns and game about the camp in exchange for hogs which the Indians accused the hunters of ha"ing stolen from them. An altercation arose and Ellis Carnes, a college bred Indian, rleglt Douglas Alien a terrific blow on the head with his Winchester and shot Horace Allen in the hai.d. The latt"r with Scarberry fled amid a rain of bull-ts from the I dians. They went to Atoka and informed the officers and when they return ed to camp they found the body of their companion riddled with bullets, the skull fractured and the eyes torn from the sockets. Frozen to Death. Fleminston, N. J., Jan. 13. Gilbert Decker, 4a ye-rs old. son of Rev. S..D. I Decker, pastor of the Quakertown M. E. i church, was frozen to death a short di jtance from his home. He left Clinton, j where he had been visiting, for Quaker- tow n. anu ins oouv was iuuiu un tne road. Only One Eid. Detroit. Mich., Jan. 13. Only one bid was received by the municipal coal oommision in response to. its advertise ment, and the common council, In spe cial session, instructed the commission to go into the open market and buy coal at cash at bet prices available. The one bid received was for only 3,000 tons of soft coal, to be delivered be tween now and March. Ways and Means Committee of the House Offers a Bill Designed to Nullify Coal Tariff. DOES NOT REPEAL IT But Renders It Inoperatire for One Year. Senate Will Do Some Inresti" gating for Itself. Washington, Jan. 13. The ways and means committee of the house today de cided to report a bill providing for a rebate equal to the duty now imposed on all kinds of coal and coming from all countries for a period of one year. This bill is a substitute for the one intro duced by Representative Hill (Conn.) which provides for a rebate until June 30 next. It is expected the bill will be called up in the house at once. The bill adopted provides: "That the secretary of the treasury and he is hereby authorized and re quired to make full rebates of duties imposed by law on all coal of every form and description imported into the United States from foreign countries for the period of one year from and after the passage of this act." Representative Richardson (Ter.n.) proposed an amendment striking: out the words for a period of one year," which was voted down. He then pro posed an amendment placing all coals on the free list, which was also voted down. The final vote on the adoption of the bill was unanimous. Representatives Payne, Dalzell and Grosvenor held a conference, with the president this morning relative to the action which had been taken by the committee. The committee reported the bill but will not call it up n the house for con sideration today as originally contem plated, the decision having been reach ed to bring it up under a rule tomor row When the house met today cfn motion of Mr. Cushman (Wash.) the bill provid ing for a delegate in congress from Alaska was made .a continuing order beginning on Wednesday. I The house then went into committee of the whole and took up the consldera tion of the army appropriation bill. The bill carried $73,S75,276, being $4,613,065 less than the current law. Mr. Hull, in charge of the measure devoted some time to the discussion of the army trans port service, argruing that the present service on the Pacific organized since the Spanish war was the best in the world. IN THE SENATE. Washington, Jan. 13. Soon after the senate met todav Mr. .Tones (Nev.) fa vorably reported the resolution of Mr. Stewart authorizing the committee on the District of Columbia to send for witnesses in connection with the coal in vestigation to administer oaths and i compel the attendance of witnesses if i necessary. The resolution was agreed i to. Consideration of the Vest resolution directing the finance committee to nre pare and report a bill removing the duty i on coal then was resumed. Mr. Dolliver (la.) defended the orders of Secretary Shaw which were issued last fall and instructed collectors of cus toras to resolve all reasonable doubts in favor of the importer. IN THE SENATE. Session Begins at Noon With Li eu tenant Governor Hanna Presiding. At 12 o'clock today Lieutenant Gov 1 ernor Hanna took his place in the chair i provided for president of the senate and announced: "The time fixed by law for calling together the senate of the state of Kan sas having arrived, I now declare the body to be in session, and the chaplain will now invoke the Deity." Chaplain L. T. Parker made a good impression in his first prayer before the body before whom he then stood as the nominee of the Republican side of the senate. He said: "O Lord, we recognize the fact that a legislative body should not undertake the transaction of business without sup plicating for thy blessing upon its ac tions and we now bow our heads before thee. We thank thee that none have letf this body since its last biennial gathering, and we pray for the one who is now absent on account of illness. May thy blessing rest upon him and guiile him back to health. May thy blessing rest unon the presiding officer and members of this body. May they be so gnided in their deliberations that the highest and best interest of their constituents be subserved. Amen." OFFICERS ARE ELECTED. Senator Allen then arose and offered the name of Senator Chancy for tempo- i rary secretary. He was chosen and the senate proceeded to the election of per manent officers. On motion of Senator Allen, who made all nominations, sec onded by Senator Householder, Dem' cratie member from Cherokee, the fol lowing persons were placed in nomina i tion and elected j Senator W. S. Fitzpatrick for presl i dent pro tem.. Charles M. Sheldon for I secretary, J. E. Neighbor for sergeant i at-arms. After that the other nomi nees of yesterday's caucus were elected i under a vrersion of the rules. I Resolutions were adopted as follows: A resolution announcing to the house of representative? that the senate was in session: a similar resolution announe i ing to the governor that the body was j in session a resolution that the rules j of last session govern the present one until new rules be adopted; a resolution J of regret at the illness of Senator Ful l'ngton and his wife: a resolution that i the hours of meeting be 10 a. m. and 2 p. m. until further resolution; a reso lution that e tch senator not a chairman of a committee be permitted to appoint a secretary; a resolution that the chair men of the principal committees be al lowed to appoint clerk and stenogra phers; a resolution that $20 be allowed e;'ch senator for postage; a resolution that the senators retain the seats occu pied by them at the last session of the senate; a resolution that the sergeant-at-arms be directed to have a telephone located in the senate. EMPLOYES SWORN IN. The new employes were then directed to stand before the dek and were sworn in bv Lieutenant Governor Hanna. By the "time the line of superfluities had been arranged about the front of the speaker's desk it extended from one side of the room to the other two deep. A few who have not yet arrived failed to answer to their names, so Senator Car any of the employes had gotten away penter of Neosho announced that "if there were plenty more in the lobby to take their places." This raised a laugh. The rear end of the room had been filled with supposed spectators, but most ot these moved u and were sworn in as "employes." Then a few minutes were spent in rag chewing over a resolution to bar out everybody not provided with ticKets to tne senate chamber. Senators Pestana of Russell and Cubbison of Kansas City were especially exercised lest their lady friends be barred out. Governor Hanna announced that as long as the present administration lasted the members need have no fear about the admission of lady friends. This was about the only horseplay In dulged in. After the naming of Sena tors King and Porter as the concurrent committee to inform the house that the senate had assembled an adjournment was taken till 3 o'clock. Mr. Aldrich replied to Mr. Dolliver saying that it would be better for the memory of the man Who negotiated the reciprocity treaties Mr. Kasson, if they were passed over in silence and never j acted upon. He declared that the inten- tion of the reciprocity section of the Dingley act was to make agreement up on non-competitive products. He never expected that a Republican administra- tion would negotiate treaties which struck at the heart of protection which I was the bulwark of Republicanism. 1 Mr. Tillman (S. C.) gave notice that he i would tomorrow speak on the coal sit- uation and would put the blame tor '..:i- "present deplorable condition where it belonged upon the president of the Unl- 1 ted States and his attorney general." I At 2 o'ciock the Vest resolution went j i over until tomorrow and the omnibus j statehood bill was taken ud. i Mr. Dolliver then discussed the efforts j made to secure reciprocity treaties and i said th.-t congress had not given the negotiations the ordinary courtesy of -s. casual consideration. He took up the allegations made against Mr. Dingley and said sarcastically that Mr. Ditigley had been charged with the hideous crime of having so arranged the tariff j schedule in the law cf 1897 as to furnish the basis for reciprocity arguments. 1 "It is true," he declared, "that in the bill which he had reported from the committee on ways and means he did put duties ur for the express purpose of having them traded dow:n." When such a scheme as that is con demned as an infamy, he said, against which the memory of Mr. Dingley ought to be defended, he could not feel the re straint of conscience to stand in the senate and say there was nothing in famous about it. "It is the scheme," he continued, "that is in practice in every government in EurOiie." "If it is necessary for men to rise in the senate to defend Mr. Dingley's memory against the charge which has been made, where," he asked, "is the advocate that shall defend the memory of the congress of 1900?" The reciprocity provision in the Ding ley act was as distinctly a part of the tariff policy of the United States as the coal schedule. More violence had been done to the protective system by the stolid, rjuiet, uncommunicative failure of the senate to take action upon the reciprocity treaties than by all the noit that had been made by the Democrats about coal. "T do not intend to sit quietly in this chamber." he declared, "while it is said to be infamous that anybody should have chanced to entertain the notion I that a tariff schedule once framed could not be honorably modified by sensible negotiations." It remains a reproach to the times, he said, that one line of the wisdom o James Gi. Blaine remained on the stat ute books and not a step had been taken to fulfill the purpose and spirit of the last Buffalo address of President Mc Kinlei'. VERDICT FOR 57,500. Mrs. Tingley Given Judgment Against Los Angeles Times. San Diego. Jan. 13. The jury in the Tingley-Times $50,000 libel suit has found for Mrs. Tingley in the sum of $7,500. Judge E. S. Torrenee in his charge to the jury said that there had been no legal proof furnished to support the fol lowing allegations: That numerous outrages were com mitted by plaintiff and under her direc tion at Point Loma; that people were deprived of liberty; children and women starved; women imprisoned in cells and that Mrs. Tingley was a Spiritualistic medium and an imposter. The court further declared there was no proof that Airs. Tingley had caused parents and children to be separated and had kept the children in confinement or that there were immoral practices at the home. The court instructed the jury to regard the above allegations false. The court m discussing most of the various i allegations made comment in this man j ner: j "The defendant alleges that it was true that the institution conducted by plaintiff is a fake and a fraud and is I carried on by the? plaintiff for the pur pose of defrauding people who are in duced to attend it. I declare to you as a matter of law that there is no legal proof of the truth of that charge and therefore you must regard it as false." The charges that the men and women at Point Loma were in the habit of making many pilgrimages insufficiently clothed and were in the habit of in dulging in immoral practices under the direction of Mrs. Tingley were submit ted to the jury. The court said that the jury should decide: "First What injury has been done to the plaintiff's reputation and what mental distress she has suffered, as the natural and direct consequence of the publication of the libelous matter con tained in the defendant's newspaper which the court has declared to be false. "Second If the jury should find that the other portions of the article did not convey the meaning given them by the plaintiff then they would not be libel ous and in contemplation of the law-, the plaintiff could not be injured there by. "Third The amount of money which will compensate the plaintiff. "Fourth Was the publication of the libelous matter inspired by actual malice oti the part of the defendant? "Fifth If exemplary' damages are to be given, the amount which the jury be lieves to be just." The court then continued: "The sub ject of the constitutional liberty of the press and the suggestion that the pub lication in the Los Angles Times was a privileged communication because it re ferred to the conduct and management of a quasi-public institution were not suggested by the defendant's answer nor by any previous contention of the defendant, but were first referred to by its counsel in his argument to the jury; the opinion of the court is that there are no facts or circumstances in this case PA II fV U i m 1 La i.m I u 3 y e which give the defendant any legal right to have these questions considered by the jury. Nor is it the opinion of the court that either the progress of Chris tian civilization the principle of the Christian religion are involved in the issues in this case, unless it be said that God's command. Thou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor, is the underlying orinciple which justified the enactment and enforcement of the law of libel." Defendant's counsel took exception to the greater part of the court's instruc tions. CURTIS LOSES ONE. Representative Johnson, of Sheridan, to Vote for Long- One of the little surprises at the Cope land this morning was the announce ment of Representative Johnson of Sheridan that he would vote for Long for United States senator. Johnson has heretofore been supposed to be lined up for Curtis, but in a conversation with a reporter for the State Journal this morning he said: "Since coming to Topeka and seeing how things lay I have decided to vote for Congressman Long. I believe he will be elected. Long is my personal choice, as I received no instructions from my home county." Representative Johnson is one of the new arrivals in Topeka and was unable to get quarters in Copeland county so he is staying around on Quincy street now. DON'T MAKE PRICES. Exorbitant Charges for Anthra cite No Benefit to Coal Roads. Philadelphia, Jan. 13. The first wit ness called before the coal strike com mission today was Thomas F. Torrey. of New York, general coal sales agent of the Delaware Hudson company, who told as far as he knew the prices of coal at New York. He -was firat ex amined by Commissioner Watkins. He said his company has no control of coal prices in New York. All the company's coal for tidewater is turned over to the Hillsdale Coal and Iron company, owned by the Erie railway at Carbondale, and coal for the west is turned over to the Erie at Honesdale. The Delaware Hudson company is working with the Erie company under the 65 and 35 per cent, basis. Just the same as the inde pendent operators were doing prior to the abrogation of their contracts. The contract ietween .the Erie and the Dela ware Hudson is still in force. The Delaware Hudson gets 65 per cent, of the average tidewater price of coal at New York on the New jersey side, and the Erie gets the other 33 for the trans portation and expense of selling the fuel. The circular tidewater price Is $5 and it costs about 20 or 25 cents a ton to trans, port it from the New Jersey side to New York. Continuing Mr. Torrey said the Dela ware Hudson had nothing to do with the retail prce of coal n New York, and his information about such prices were mere hearsay. In answer to Commis sioner Clark the witness said the Dela ware Hudson sell direct to dealers and distributing houses in New York state and New England. He further said that the Delaware Hudson de rived no benefit from the abnormal price of retail coal. During the examination counsel for the miners endeavored to get the wit ness to tell something about freight rates, but the commission ruled out the question. Many questions were asked which Mr. Torrey could not answer, but he promised to bring before the commis. sion documentary information regard ing the prices of coal in 1901 and 1902 and the prices now in vogue where the Delaware Hudson sells coal. James P. Dickinson, freight agent of the Delaware Hudson company at Wilkesbarre. who made an investigation regarding the prices of groceries, meats and other necessaries of life and lije consumption of liquors in the Wyom ing and Lackawanna valleys, who was on the stand yesterday, was recalled. Counsel for the miners objected to that part of the statement which included the consumption of liquor, because it included the entire population. If the witness could show how much the miners consumed there would be no ob jection, but counsel did not want the entire liquor consumption charged to the miners. The commission excluded the statement because it did not show a per capita consumption. DOLMff IS SECRETARY. Former Topeka Man Figures in Railroad Election. St. Joseph, Mo., Jan. 13.

Advises the Legislatnrs to Pass a New Tax Law. Governor Bailey's message to the leg-, islature delivered this afternoon was a$ follows: To the Senate and House of Representa-. tives: No legislature has ever convened Ira our state under more favorable condi tions than those which surround you at this time. The business and commercial interests of Kansas have never been upon a stronger or more substantial basis than now. No state in the union has absorbed more of the general pros-, perity than has come to the whole coun try during the past six years than has Kansas. New life, new hope and new energy have come to our people as tha result of these conditions, and the In crease in value of nearly all real and personal property has largely enhanced the wealth and commercial importance of the state. Having been elected by the people of Kansas as their governor for the en suing two years, it is the oonsclousrurss that I will have your hearty co-opera tion in doing those things which will j build for Kansas that nerves me to meet the responsibilities confronting me. In compliance with the law, I here with submit such suggestions and rec ommendations as to me seem proper. Agriculture. With all flue recognition of the vast ness and importance of her other con stantly developing resources, and her unsuspecting possibilities, n revesitf by each passing year, the basis of the state's material prosperity must be her agriculture the utilization of her soil's wonderful fertility and favoring climate. That Kansas, with her comparatively spai'se population, already leads all other states In the production of euch, commodities as wheat, alfalfa, and the sorghums, and rank." with the foremost in the output of corn, is suggestive of her capabilities. The official statistics indicate that, in the decade just closed, the increase in value of farm products has been nearly 24 per cent, and of live stock more than 5 per cent, or, for all combined, 31.6 per cent. The promotion and record of our farm industries were early in the state's his tory entrusted to the state board of agriculture vwhich fortunateIy from its beginning, in methods of practical help fulness, the thoroughness and reliability of its statistical work, and the high or der of its publications, has rendered an invaluable service to the growth and development of the agricultural Inter ests of the state. The high standard of the work done under the administration of the present secretary justifies ruoft appropriations as are necessary to main tain the usefulness of the hoard. The opportunities afforded the stats for needed agricultural experimentation by the possession of the Fort Hays lanl make judicious such appropriations as are necessary to establish and equip tha. work there on a proper basis for great est future usefulness.

"lore Light Thrown on the Big Fence Doings. A Cincinnati Play for a Ball Star That Failed. CASE OF DELEHAXTY. The Giants Will Make a Protest Over Some Decisions. Several Flayers Must Return Money Advanced Them. Cincinnati. Jan. 1.",. One week from Monday lh" National ratification meet ing occurs in Kedland, and there will he an overwhelming majority for the com pact iiimn which the National and American peace commissioners agreed It riot a unanimous vote of approval. There seems to be a general impres sion that the New York club will try to balk over the disposition of the case of Ed Ielchaiity. Early Kabbath morn the news was Hashed from New Orleans that Del. had declared that he would either play in New York In the National league or nowhere. That was followed by a withdrawal of the avowal as offi cial. Del. is the one player of the dozen whose, cases were subject to dispute about whom there was any disposition to fight. It Is betraying no secrets of the inner sanctum to say that Del. and a few other rubber less escaped with slight punishment. There was serious discussion of the advisability of start irg a new blacklist and ele ting about half a. dozen eligibles to membership. The plea that the tempter was as guilty as the tempted resulted in the adoption c-f .he policy of general amnesiv. Tiie "disgorging act" will be an inter esting: specialty something of a novelty In balldom among the players who seem to think that moguls were simply crea ted to "give up." Del. got Sl.tiOO from .Washington, and it has been stated that be is inro the New York treasury for $3. tf. Jiist how much of this has been fpent for fat steaks by the gentlemanly bookmakers who lt you guess on the bangtails is a matter of pure specula tion. The Cincinnati club drops a $5. aa man off the payroll in 8am Crawford and will receive $l,;!!jo. which was ad vanced him, before "Whoo Sam" can go to bat in Detroit uniform. In addi- tinn tr tnl flip f'i i ic' n nci t i r'luh n-ill o-et from Cleveland, money w hich Fred Abbott "borrowed" a year ago. before he became a contract juniper with the Pelicans in New Orleans' sporting aviary. "Widow" Conroy got $1,000 from Harney Dreyfuss, and the Pittsburg ciuh will get that before the "Widow" to New York. Christy Mathewson nd Krank Bowerman have each been using of Bob Hughes' money since the middle of last July, and the f;eaoe fact puts that $1,000 into the St. Louis American treasury. There may be other caes, but. they are not known. The autographs of the peace comrpis Moners upon ine protocol w,-re not dry be fore the red chi.-f made an effort to sirnnHien the re;i initeid.

N'oiv that the mag nificence of the durbar has gor.e, people are counting' the cost. Including; the bill the Indian government will have to pay, the expenditures incurred by the Indian princes and chiefs and the Eng lish governors and lieutenant governors, U is safe to say that at least $10,000,000 has been spent in furnishing- a spectacle unique in the annals of the world. The Indian government's bill is likely to exceed $3,7iV..0OO. The cost to Lord Curzon personally has been very great, for a large number of guests were enter tained by him entirely at his own ex pense. The expenses of the native princes and chiefs vary greatly, from the $500,000 said to have been spent by the Nizam of Hyderabad to the $50,000,000 for which sum the minor chiefs were able to make but an indifferent display. XVhn it i3 remembered that the number of these princes and chiefs reaches nearly 100, the total expenditure can easily be cal culated. The governors of Madras and Bombay and lieutenant governors of tho several provinces found it possible by the ex ercise of careful European supervision to keep down the complete cost of their camps to about $75,000. Of the various events the procession durbar was un doubtedlv the most impressive and the review of the retinues of the native chiefs was the most picturesque, while the natives appreciated the fireworks most of all. The ball in the Dewaniam was the most gorgeous scene, as the investiture was the most stately, but the wearisome state entry into Delhi was very remark able as an example of organization. It is wonderful that no accidents oc curred during the long- procession of ele phants, carriages, horse and foot through the streets. Lord Curzon is to be warmly con gratulated on the result of his hard work. ABANDON BANQUET. Chicago Coal Dealers Decide to Give It Up. Chicago. Jan. 13.

The leaders in the plan made up their minds on Wednesdy tht their jollifica tion would only increase the bitterness of public opinion against them, and at once sent out notices that the affair was off. p M f l 4 5 t Long Sicll and Nerv ous Headaches.

KAHSASHEWS..- "To Harness the Cyclone" Ia a Neodesha Man's Object. Prof. Britz Interprets Power from oa High Literally. AERIAL ARTIST'S IDEA. Would Make a Model Flying Ma chine, He Says. Now at Fort Scott Soliciting Funds for Enterprise. Fort Scott,. Kas., Jan. 13. The Tribune says: j Fort Scott entertained a unique char acter today. He is a man who proposes to "harness the cyclones" or to make it possible for man to realize literally from the divine promise of "power from on high" by aerial navigation. "The eagle and the buzzard soar without labor,' said Mr. Britz to a Tribune man, "and I propose to appropriate this same power which the birds exhibit to the ust of mankind. This sounds something like the talk of Carle Browne, but Mr. Britz is quite a different character from Brown, though he may be no more uniaue. Britz lives at Xeodesha, but he is try ing to set someone to stake him for a couple of hundred dollars or so to as sist him in making a model flying ma chine. He claims his idea is different from that of any aerial artist. That h.? is sincere Is at once apparent: that he is a man of mediocre intellect in most matters is not o.uestioned. Nevertheless he is interesting. "We have a divine command of power from on high," said Prof. Britz, as he is pleased to call himself, "and I pro pose to demonstrate to the world that in that promise we may have a real, earthly benefit; something tangible, something literal, something for man's good aerial navigation by means of perpetual motion. Men may fly like the The professor is well versed in the Bible, and he has an array of Biblical authorities directly in point in his line of argument when interpreted as literal. A MONUMENT PROJECT.

John McC'onnell's residence was de stroyed by dynamite, McConnell was as saulted by a drunken mob. and Law rence Goff, the town marshal, was seri ously injured by unidentified assailants while he was trying to make an arrest. F. J. Fenton's drug store has been blown up with dynamite. The explo sion was so heavy that all surrounding buildings were partly wrecked. Through the efforts of the anti-saloon league all the dramshops have beer, driven out of the township. The saloon keepers and a portion of the residents want to restore the saloons, hut the league and its friends are preventing the issuance of licenses. Meanwhile tii" reign of terror continues. The marshal has sworn in a large number of deputies hut he finds it difficult to keen orde. Citizens who are prominent in the work of the league have surrounded their homes with armed guards, Avho remain 011 duty night and day. FOR LACK OF COAL. Manufacturing Concerns Suspend Op erations 900 Out of "Work. Aurora, Jan. 13. Three large con cerns in Aurora have been forced to close down because they can obtain no conl. and as a result 900 people are temporarily out of work. The Aurora Bleachery company, employing fifty people, and the American "Well works, with 2o0 employes, .closed down their plants until more coal can be obtained, ppiturday afternoon the Aurora Cot ton mills, a concern employing 600 peo ple, closed indefinitely. Coal dealers in Aurora, say it is im possible to obtain any great amount of coal from the mines, and they are forced to depend to a great extent on getting coal in Chicago. This makes them the prey of the big' dealers of Chi cago, who force them to pay three prices for all they get. Packers and manufacturers in Chi cago continue to have trouble in ob taining an adequate supply of coal. Swift Co.. who have been supplying their employes when they could not get coal from dealers, may be obliged to cease this supply in order to have enough coal to run their plant. The American Steel and Wire company is unable to furnish its various plants with coal, and was obliged to stop it.- works at Joliet for several hours yes terday, while others have been close:l whole days during the last week.

"This servant girl ciuestion is becom ing more vital than trusts, tariff or any thing else in the nation's category of un settled things. It affects the home and family, the most sacred institutions in the land, and has much to do with the unhappiness of the nation. The id?a that kitchen work is menial must be corrected and the lessons must begin at home in every home." The speaker further expressed himsell in favor of a large school of domestic science for girls to offset the manual training schools for boys. WASHINGTON OX IDES. CoachiDg Needed by Wives of New Congressmen. When a man is elected to congress he has fought only half the battle. On en tering Washington he is confronted by two problems how to make his influ ence felt in the political arena -and how to be successful socially. For the first he must depend upon himself. On the other hand his social career is largely at the mercx of hi-s wife. Through her hit lers or lack of tact he may lose thr.t personal, social influence whiclt. in Washington, as in every capital, is invaluable. Here is where the social coach is of use. The social history of Washington shows that from presidents down to members of the lower hoi'so the major ity of men have been self-made, or, at least, have risen from a humble station in life. In nine cases out of ten. with their foot on the lowest rung- of the political ladder, they have met and mar ried. Political success for the husband means new social duties for the wife. Without much difficulty she assumes her position in the small city where her husband holds an office of some import ance. Small wonder that her husband's I progression to the national capital fills her with only pleasurable anticipations. Envied by her women friends and show ered with kindly, if useless, advice, she lends herself to the most fashionable modiste in town and to happy visions of new social worlds to conquer. They invade Washington. They en- tertain. which is necessary. They arc I entertained, which is customary. I To do honor to the first occasion she dons her most elaborate frock and takes one last complacent glance in her cheval glass. Then comes the awakening. I Passing that line of receiving women, j irreproachably gowned and groomed. she i reads pitying amusement, behind the few words of perfunctory greeting and the j fleeting smile. It must be her gown, she reasons, and, having paid her respects, she slips into a corner and studies the frocks and bearing of these women, who know Washington Tays. I She cannot define the difference, but I it exists. Moreover, she finds her usual olubility cheeked by an indescribable shyness. In a word, she realizes that she has stepped into a new world filled with social pitfalls and snares. She goes back to her hotel dismayed, and she lies awake the rest of the night thinking it all out. If she is daring and self-i eliupt she recalls something a well-known for eigner has written about the adapta bility of the American women, and vows thp-.t she will stand or fall on this quality. If she is cautious she ap peals to a coach. The coach is a woman rich in knowl edge of Washington customs, of good family, well bred, well groomed and well gowned. Perhaps there have been financial reverses in her family. Per haps she is ambitious and independent. However this may be, she must be of the socially elect, and consequently to be approached with due diplomacy. There must be nothing said about the fee. no agreement, no conversation about terms. But some day there a.r rivers in the coach's mall a check from her pupil. The coach, having assumed the re sponsibility of the woman's social fu ture, goes about her work In the most sytematic fashion. For awhile she is almost constantly at her patron's el bow. The first lesson is. "Who is who and how shall you greet them." The right of precedence, how to avoid the Incon gruous issuirg of invitations that Is, inviting opposing factions to the sama function and a nice discrimination in greeting are taught. For instance, a hostess may personally like an indi- i vidua! temporarily under the ban of I Washington society, but received by j right of official precedence. For such i meetings she mvist cultivate what is j known as a frigid graciousness. i The coach overhauls her patron's 1 wardrobe. "Good frocks -well made." is the motto frocks that absolutely i suit the personality of their owner. If I small town fashions war with this per sonality, then everything is cast aside. The coach's pupil places herself unre servedly in the- hands .of an artist se s I I P f -1 n 1 5 j I For Infants and Children.

If her pation Is particularly obtuse the coach handles her correspondence, though it has become essential for a woman really In the Washington swim to have her private secretary. Cnder the coach's tutelage she also cultivates her memory for faces and names, she acquires a graclousness with a modifi cation of voice and manner, and. in fact, goes through a course of social grooming which can be compared only to that of the young girl sent to a fashionable school for her finishing. When the new candidate for social fa vors passes successfully the criticism of those who have gone before her on the thornv path and enjoy watching the trials of ihose who follow, the coach breathes a sigh of relief and feels that she has feath ered laurels in her unhpie profession. The mopt notable coach In Washington is row private secretary of the wife -of a high officer of the government. She previ mislv filled a like post with the wives of other well-known public men. She was a societv girl, observant, and popular, com pelled bv adverse circumstances to 'turn her rocial talent to financial account. An experienced coach CRn look after th" in terests of several patrons, particularly if the latter are amenable, and the woman who Is not amenable should not accept th services of a coach at all. Instances thre are of women who-followed their own ideas in social matters and have won out. When one of these, first came to Washington socioty pretended to h hia-hlv amus.-d at her hearty "1 lik? i voti so much: con-e nd see me often: I 1 should like to have long talks with you." i But she declined to become rx rf inctor:. I fine lives, as she di.l in hr western hon: simpiv. tinaffeptodlv. hoapitahly, and she enjoys a large circle of frienos. Another woman who has won on her merits comes froci the middle west. Secni inglv she orefcrs her quiet home life in Ohio to Washington society, for she rare ly joins thr conirressional colony. When sh-i doAs. however, she receives a warm wel come, for :-h" has won hosts of friends. Generally speaking, however, the woman who scorns the services of the coach find breakers ahead. nffieial circles are still laughing over an incident which marked last season's dinners. A newcomer gave 9 dinner without the aid or consent of any coach or well versed friend. The result was that the guests, ope and all. were affronted by the table arrangement, for they were seated without reference to their official rank. To make things worse, the hostess had a new force of servants, inefficient and ill-trained and her bu'ler. having ben taken suddenly ill, was replaced by the one first at hand. The soups were served cold and as much of the wine as had escaped the peculations of the kitchen force came 011 warm. The affair was brought to a dismal and hope loss end by the hostess' giving vent to ml ungovernable temner, voiced in a vocabu lary which drove the guests from the din ing room and the. servants from the- kitch en. All this might have been avoided by a judicious appeal to the roach. Washing ton Letter in New York Sun. To Cure a Cold in One Day Take Laxative P.romo Quinine Tablets.

TOPEKA' STATE JOURNAL, TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 13, 1903. 3 AH RflA Kew Private Train for the King of England. Ills Majesty Will Have Comfort able Quarters. ELECTRICITY HEATED. Ap artnients Trimmed in Silver and Costly Wood. As Good as Provided for Ameri can .Millionaires. King Edward and Queen Alexandra have a new special train. The train has Just been completed by the London Northwestern Kai!way company and was used for the first time a few days ego. The London Times gives an in teresting description of tht royal -rain which indicates that it is not, after all, so very far brtiind the sumptuous equip ment provided for American millionaires and railway presidents. The train consists of two saloons one for the king and the other for the Queen and Princess Victoria three saloons for the suite. &nl two brake vans. The sa loons which are on 12-wheel bogies, are each 6S feet 6 inches in length over the buffers, and there is a straight run of nearly 400 feet from end to end of the train, which weighs 210 tons. The inter iors of the royal saloons are luxuriously furnished. The king's smoking room is panelled in mahogany with inlays ot rosewood and satinwood. The chairs ere upholstered in green leather, and the curtains, carpet, etc., are in similar tones of color; while the gilding of the metal work has been subdued in effect to keep the whole restful to the eye. The king's day compartment in the fenne saloon is decorated in the colonial Ptyle, and is in white en.-imel. The furn iture is of satinwood Inlaid with ivory. This room also is in green, though of a lighter tone. The widows are unus ually large. The special features in this and the other rooms are the methods of heating or cooling. Electric heaters have been introduced, and each room can be heated up to any temperature desired. For the hot weather electric waving fans will help to keep the temnerature down, and these fans can be regulated pn as to be driven at any of three rates of 'speed. If desired, the windows can be lowered, and fine dust-proof ventila tors inserted. His majesty's bed and dressing rooms are also in white enamel with silver-plated fittings, the uphol Ftery generally being of a soft green shade. The queen's saloon is similar in general arrangement, to the king s. Ail the rooms are in white enamel and the predominat ing color is blue, which is brightened in ef fort with light brocades and a very soft hnde of olnk to tone the electric lights. The queen's bedroom has been draped in soft pink, and with the silver plated bed rind the fitting in thf room it has a very beautiful effect. Adjoining this is the oueeu's dressitigroom, the furniture of which is of satinwood finely inlaid. There pre balconies of carved mahogany to each fflloon. whi-h are so fitted with windows that they can be used as '"observation" cars, and they are heated by steam. The attendants' ends in each saloon are fitted with -W:tric plugs for connecting to heat ers for providing tea. coffee, etc. Kach compartment of the saloon is also provid ed with portable electric table lamps. The two rnal saknns are joined by gangways together. Tile king's and the omen's bed rooms are so htted that for day journeys they can be turned into drawingruoms. Before the royal party reached the station yesterday ait attendant arrived with three of The queen's toy dogs in covered wicker CHftep, These were placed in the balcony nd of the queen's saloon next to her majesty's bedroom. The queen's saloon was. after the saloons of the suite, placed first ir order in the royal tram, and next (amp the king's saloon. The exteriors of both saloons have been enamelled with the familiar colors (ivory and ohno!ate of the London and Northwestern railway. The other panels of the saloons bear the rcyai coat of arms, on either side of which are emblazened the insignia of the Orders cf the (iarter. the Hath, the Thistle, and Ft. Patrick. The saloons have been buiit in six months at the YVolvert'm works un der the supervision of Mr. C. A. Park. SPEND 85 MILLIONS. St. Louis Railways Getting Ready for World's Fair. St. Louis, Jan. 13. The railways in St. Louis -have set. aside about 85 million dollars to be expended for improve ments in this city. Many of the ex tensions arc already under way, and the great, bulk of the enormous sum will be paid out before the opening of the worlds tatr. Among the notable improvements made are the building of the subway and extension of union station, the pro posed construction of a mail depot at the station and the widening of the rights of way along the levee. For the latter, condemnation suits have been instituted, involving about ten city blocks. The Terminal association will also complete and extend a belt line around the entire city and is adding to its yard facilities in every quarter of St. Louis. The improvements at union station shine mean that six trains may be run in where only one is handled now. and with the new loops it will be possible to handle sixty passenger trains an hour, one every minute. Facilities for the handling of freight are being in creased in the same, ratio of four to ene. CAR CRACKERS CAUGHT. Santa Fe Detectives Made a Haul of Colorado Crooks. Albuoueraue. X. M., Jan. 13. The three men who rifled a sealed Santa F car in Raton have been captured in Trinidad and taken back to 11a ton for a preliminary hearing. They are George Carter. Fred Ashnor and Curtis Mor row. The men will undoubtedly get a term in the penitentiary for their work. The car was filled with general mer chandise" for Raton merchants, and the thieves got away with IS revolvers, 21 pairs of shoes and some cheap jewelry. Six of the revolvers were recovered. Is He the Youngest Engineer? Fort Scott. Kan.. Jan. 13. Last Sun tiry Ed Gilbert, a Frisco fireman and son of Agent Gilbert of the Katy, was examined on time card and was suc cessful. At Springfield he passed a most satisfactory examination on ma chinery and air and is now a full fledged engineer. It is believed that this young man hears the distinction of being the youngest engineer m Kansas, if, deed, he is not the youngest in west. m the Received Cold Consolation. Chicago, Jan. 1.1. Representative of locomotive firemen employed by the Chicago Alton railway, waited on Superintendent Barrett today and pre sented demands for an Increased wage scale. Mr. Barrett informed them the R if company had increased their wages twice in two years and said tie could not promise them any further advance at present. He assured them, however, that should the Wabash or any of the other competitors of the Chicago Alton increase wagss he would im mediately grant similar concessions. The committee said they would have to consult with Grand Master Hannahan of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire men before taking final action. It is not believed the refusal to grant fur ther increase at this time will result in a strike, but that a settlement will be reached at future conferences. OPERATING ECONOKCT. Union Pacific Seems to Have the Santa Fe Bested. The monthly exhibits of t'nion Pacific so far this year compare with those of Santa Fe as follows; GROSS INCREASE. IT. P. S. P.

Thus Union Pacific, although its mileage Is less, has gained more than twice as much as Atchison in gross earnings, while there is more than $i,CX,000 difference in net results, t'nion Pacific's gain In net is equivalent to a one-half of 1 per cent on its common stock, while Atchison's loss is equivalent to a similar amount on Atch ison common. It is not altogether clear that the widely different net. results are owing to relative Iv larger charges to maintenance on Atch ison's part. The difference may arise in economics in conducting transportation. In this respect Union Pacific has been out stripping Atchison. Last yeaF, with an increase of nearlv 54.0O0.0O.) in gross earn ings. Union Pacific's expenses of conduct ing transportation Increased only SSS.O-n; while Atchison's, with an increase o '54, 500,000 in gross, increased $1,3XMKW. TAKING OUT SEDUCED KATES. Rock Island Official Talks of Alleged Freight Rata Increase. Speaking of the alleged raise in freight rates. H. Gower, assistant freight traffic manager of the Rock Island system, says: During the last year a good many reduced tariffs have been put m effect, and these in turn have bred others, some of which were made onerative without consultation with other roads. This went on until the entire western territory was ripped up, so to speak, clear to Colorado. These reduced tariffs were not necessitated by commercial conditions, and seriously crippled the revenues of the railroads, for most of our heavy commodities east and west bound were carried on these tariffs. All we have done thus far is to take out these reduced rates, and even now we are not back upon a normal basis of tariffs. The rates of which I speak were not normal but were what we call war rates, as evidenced by the rate on iron between Chicago and the Missouri river, which was reduced from 27 to 15 cent3 despite the fact that there was no log ical reason for the action. Any com modity rate which is less than a class rate we call abnormal, and may exist for two reasons. A road may put it in independently or from a commercial necessity to equalize markets. So far western roads have dealt only with the reduced tariffs of 1002, and the manufac turers have expressed the opinion that the changes were warranted. What will be done in the future no one can foretell." NICKEL STEEL RAILS. Pennsylvania to Put in Rails at $74 a Ton. Philadelphia, Jan. 13. The Pennsyl vania railroad company has decided to substitute nickel steel rails on all heavy curves for the steel rails now in use. For two years this company has been experimenting with the nickel steel rails on some of the curves on the Allebhany mountains, and those that have been ir. use have given perfect satisfaction, there being no perceptible wear or tear on them. The Pennsylvania railroad company has placed an order for 5,000 tons of these rails, which will cost about $74 a ten. as against $28 a ton for the stand ard steel rail. They are to be placed on the east-bound track on some of the heaviest curves on the Alleghany moun tains on the Pittsburg division, and on some of the heavy curves on the middle division.

A writer in the Boston Transcriot, tracing the developments of the rail road during the century, said at its closed the total milaage or passenger trains shows that each man. woman and child, had they all traveled equally, would have gone in a year in excess of 200 miles. This means that Americans are the greatest travelers in the world. To put the stomach in per fect working order there is nothing so good as the Bitters.

CELEBRATED STOMACH rts CHJtJ 1 P "In Europe thej have only one mile of railway, to 2,200 people; in Russia, one mile to 4,000. Now that there are com paratively no unopened sections, rail road building win not be so rapid. But while mileage is not being increased so rapidly, vast sums are expended for betterments. We are getting better en gines and cars and much better. roadJ. The security is so great at present that a passenger, according to mathematical calculation, would have to travel at the rate of thirty miles an hour for 170 years before getting hurt, and about 1. 000 years before getting killed. That is safer than staying at home. It is surely much safer than walking on Broad way. ABOUT RAILROAD PEOPLE. John Bauer of the brass foundry laid off Monday.

The sixth annual convention of the National Live Stock association began a four days' session at the Century theater today. Kvery seat in the auditorium was filled and many stood about the walls. The attendance is greater than at any previous gathering of the as sociation and the work accomplished probably will stand forth as import ant as any that has resulted ,from a like convention in this country. Many of the delegates from distant points had not arrived for the first session but all are expected before tomorrow. Governor A. M. Dockery was to have extended a welcome on behalf of the state, but he was ill and unable to be present. Mayor James A. Heed tool: his place and in an eloquent address welcomed the delegates, speaking for the city and state. The response on be half of the association was made by Peter Jansen, of Nebraska, who spoke in glowing terms of the work before the convention and the future import ance of the National Live Stock as- j sociation. Then John W. Springer, of Denver, president of the association, delivered his annual address. It was a forceful paper and dealt with directness upon the legislation, pending and future, necessary for the protection of the live stock industry. He said: SPRINGER'S ADDRESS. "We have learned at very dear cost that, while we may differ on politics and religion we must stand together In a national organization if we would hold our own in the great commercial struggle now going on. To secure our -veil earned profits, we must stand shoulder to shoulder for our mutual protection, for the legislative chain is no stronger than its weakest link, and it is our business to remedy the weak points in our allied industry. "Let it be understood here and now, that the American stock man proposes to take care of himself, and that he is not a supplicant at the doors of the federal congress for any subsidy, for any bonus or for any policy which seeks 'forty acres and a mule.' But we do serve notice on the vote-be-seaching politician that the live stock interests must receive protection from the congress of the Utiited States, just as long as the" finished products made from our raw- materials are heavily protected. Our allied interests stand with American labor, and together we hold the balance of power in this union. None of our great interests are hys terical or unreasonable or cranky on the subject of 'tariff" or 'tariff legisla tion.' Wre know it has largely aided in making our nation' great, and it has assisted the American workingman to a higher level than that occvipied by any worker on this round earth. But the tariff is not perfect, and the stock men of the United States believe there are many points where the tariff could be reduced, and even abrogated entire ly, for the best interests of the people as conditions now exist. We believe further that a tariff must be retained on hides, wool, meat and animals in order that the American stock raiser may not be discriminated against. Wre must again at this and the next ses sion of the federal congress thwart the highly protected manufacturers from down east in their selfish demand for free hides and free wool. v "We are strongly urging upon the present ways and means committee to report favorably the Grosvenor anti shoddy bill, and to force the manufac turers to' plainly mark each piece of cloth as to just what proportion is wool, shoddy, cotton, etc., in ordetj that the man nuying cioinuig vvut ivijuw wnai he receives. We cannot be too persist ent in our demand for this bill. "The bill extending the shipping laws from 28 to 40 hours, which has passed the house and is in the senate, is fully approved by all the cattle shippers. "Our interests firmly and fully believe in a reciprocity which reciprocates. We advocate a give and take policy such as the great McKinley outlined. Not only this, but we advocate that the congress of the United States pass a bill direct ing the president, whenever in his judg ment it may be necessary, to retaliate against any foreign government, arbi trarily and unjustly discriminating against American goods or products when the same is as wholly unjustifiable as the proposed German tariff bill now under consideration in Germany which, if passed will exclude from that country 25 per cent of all our meat exports. The alleged excuse is that our canned meats, etc., are diseased and dangerous to the health of the people of the Fatherland, which we all know is false in every particular. "We believe the world Is continually progressing, and that new conditions de mand rational treatment. A govern mental policy successful under Grant and Garfield is not per se what we need under Roosevelt. Our American tariff has been a great lever in the up building of American industries, but it needs revising and pruning to meet changed conditions in favor of the pro posed bill. "We are also strenuously in favor of the proposed bill to amend the inter state commerce law, in order that this commission may have authority of its own orders and decrees. The confessed idiocy of keeping up a high priced list of five interstate commerce commission ers who hear cases, look wise and secure no results, is in keeping with a justice of the peace in Missouri declaring a DArr tatfc id THr PUR& i: GRAIN COFFEE If you use Grain-O in place of coffee yoa will enjoy it just as much for it tastes the same; yet, it is like a food to the system, dis tributing the full substance of the pure grain with every drop. THY IT TO-DAY. At grocer everywhere 15c and 25c per packaga. federal statute unconstitutional, and calling on a Missouri constable to arrest the government. WThat we want, is an effective tribunal where we can lay our complaints against over charges at stock yards, or terminal charges on ex cessive railway shipping rates, or unjust discrimination for or against a live stock market, and other equally as seri ous to our interest, and that when we prove the charges to have an interstate commerce commission, which can enter up a decree, and execute an order, to discontinue the same or send the perpe trators to the federal prison, and fine them heavily besides. It will only re quire an allopathic dose of the medi cine and the balance will be good. "Half of the judges of the supreme court of the United States upheld the position taken by the officers of the National Live Stock association in our long fight against the oleomargerine bill. It will ultimately kill itself as a law, and our position be sustained that it was class legislation pure and simple and against the best interests of the creamery people and aiso the oleomar garine manufacturers. "We are now urging upon congress that a census of ail live stock animals on ranch and farm be taken every five years and promptly published in order that the breeder and feeder may know what animals are ready for the market. What the progressive stockman wants is reliable live stock statistics every year as to what there is in sight in horses, cattle, sheep and hogs. If the general government will give us a com plete census every five years, we can easily publish the figures for the inter vening years from our national head quarters to guide the stockmen of the country. "I desire to congratulate our member ship on the passage of the irrigation bill, which this organization urged upon President Roosevelt, and which he eo strenuously aided in making a law. We all realize that the more water we get on the great plains the more grass would be produced. Grass means beef, and beef brings money anywhere in the wide world. We should therefore do all in our power to cultivate the growth of grass, and the care of the range and the protection of the forests, and the forest reserves. W'e should consider ourselves only tenants by courtesy of this great government principality, and it should be our chief aim and delight to guard this heritage for our children and our children's children. "For the semi-arid lands in the graz ing district, the homestead law, allow ing 160 acres should be extended to 320 acres, as it will not be gainsaid that it is impossible for a man to make a living on any 160 acres remaining. "We should ask congress to authorize the appointment of a commission to go into the various states, classify grazing lands, and make recommendations in line with what the people who dwell there want. Our position should be, let the people have what they want, as their homes are at stake and their chil dren should have the benefit of the very best conditions we can throw around them. On this subject, let all politicians 'Go way back and sit down.' and let the plain people settle the matter in their own counties, all over this great western country, for we certainly can trust the people most vitally interested. "I desire to call the special attention of every stock raiser to the World's ex position in St. Louis in 1904 and to urge every breeder of registered stock to get ready for one of the greatest contests of the various breeds ever known in the world." As to the proposed merger of inter ests by the packers at Chicago, Kansas City, St. Joseph, Sioux City, Omaha and Fort Worth, President Springer said: "Never before was such an unholy combination attempted. Not content with amassing colossal fortunes in the past two decades from the stock rais ers of the west, these same 'packers' now blossom out as would be dictators. The stockmen of the United States have over four billion working capital. If forced to do so, you can build pack ing plants of your own, kill your own stock, market the product and under sell any packing house trust. W'e have men outside this 'charmed circle' who have money, brains and energy, and with these three they also have hearts left in their physical anatomy. Let us pronounce sentence that if this merger is consummated, it can operate its $500,000,000,000 merger without tattle, without sheep and without hogs, for we own the raw material and we will refuse to sell to any packing house combine." REPORT OF SECRETARY. Secretary Charles F. Martin present ed his annual report in which he gave an account of the work done by the association during the past year. Referring to the anti-shoddy bill, in troduced in the house of representatives a year ago, he said: "Every possible effort was made to have the committee on ways and means report the bill to the house, but without success. With in the past two weeks I have sent out additional letters to members of con gress and to this committee, again urg ing prompt action on this bill. I have received replies from a majority of the members of the house, and I am satis fied that if the committee would re port the bill to the house it would pass. The leading argument advanced by the opponents of the bill is, that it cannot be made operative. It does not seem to tis that it is any more diffi cult to have federal inspectors regu late the importation of rotten rags gathered from American people, than it is for federal inspectors to supervise the slaughter of American steers and the manufacture of the oleo contained in the carcass into healthy, clean and pure butter. The tax which this legis lation imposes is one-tenth of one cent a pound to be paid by the manufac turer. It can hardly be said that this would work a hardship upon the class of manufacturers who use shoddy and sell 'all wool' three dollar suits to the American people for fifteen dollars. It is not protection simply for the growers of wool, that we are asking, but pro tection for the consumer as well. "The membership of the association has steadily increased, but not to the extent of the previous year, for the rea son that most of the active organiza tions in the United States are now mem bers. The individual membership ha1? increased very satisfactorily, extending to Canada, Mexico, Hawaii, and in quiries have been received from stock men in the Straits settlement of the East Indies. The increase in the as sessment on live stock from 25 to 50 cents per thousand has been accepted by all organizations with the exception of on" "The association now has membership in nearly every state and territory in the union, and through its impartial policy and expressed desire to be ot benefit to the live stock industry, ha gained the good will and respect of every legislative body' in the United States. "One drawback is the failure of the members to ,act promptly when called upon. Another is the lack of funds to carry on the work. No other organiza tion in the United States rem-esenting the capital invested that this does is so hamnered by a lack of finances. Other commercial and agricultural organiza tions have no lack of means, and it is because of unlimited means at their dis posal that the manufactures and transportation interests have no trouble whatever in promptly securing such leg islation as they desire. "The receipts for the year were with in a few hundred dollars as large as the year previous, but our expenses were heavier" AFTERNOON SESSION. A recess till 1:30 o'clock followed. The afternoon session was taken up with the annual report of the executive commit- 1 J I W I 2 La s L,a I 1 1 1 Cause More Sickness and Serious Complications than Anyone Knows.

The little end of the glass stops at the receiving line and down this the grains of sand drop slowly but steadily into the large vacant space at the other end. The grains of sand far thest from the center of activity get restless and shove about but the grains don't move "any faster through the tiny opening at the bottom of the glass on that account. Last night some of the grains got tired and went away remarking that they didn't care much whether they were received or not. Otherwise the reception in honor of the new governor of Kansas was as much of a success as anything of the kind could have been. It was Kansas' opportunity to shake hands with the ex ecutive and if the governor's hand wasn't used up after its contact with the three or four thousand enthusiastic ones which embraced it last night, it wasn't because Kansas and Topeka didn't warm to their opportunity. The crowd was patient until the door of the governor's office onened and from the time business commenced on the receiv ing line it was ready with a cheery hand squeeze to-draw the light hearted smile of the governor-elect into a wince ot pain at the rate of about three per min ute. It was not until nearly midnight that the recention closed and that hour was well rassed before the janitor turned out thelastlightandbuttoneduphis over coat to go home. It -would never be sale to out a janitor on a committee on ar ransrements for he would want to com mence at 6 o'clock or some other hour entirely too unconventional for a gover nor's reception- The state house was iighted from cellar to dome and the peo nle who saw there was no use in fool ing around the tail end of the line of those received put in their time looking over the property of the state. The floor of the rotunda resolved itsejt into promenade where white vests mixeo. with sackcoats with the utmost uncon cern. Cigarette smoke mingled with the perfume of sachet powder and Republi can shouldered Populist in the impatient wait for things to get started. A Ions line of old soldiers formed in the Grand Army headquarters and moved on the works in the governor's office in a comnact column with hands on the -shoulders in front. A half aozen or more ot the boys ot company A, K. ae, N. G., were the first to pass through the executive apartments. At 9 o'clock the orchestra struck up a tune and the doors of the office were opened. Within stood the receiving line and several members of the reception committee who conducted the first comers, introducing them to those re ceiving. The rush of business soon put the reception committee out of business. There were too many outsida to stand upon so much ceremony, and after a few minutes ths received were being oassed from hand to hand and beina introduced by the state officers them selves. This facilitated matters some what but hardly to a degree appreeisubla by those standing in the corridor. The arrangement of the receiving I'-1 was as follows: Governor and Mrs. W. E.

Newark News: It is too late to give Jlawaii a brand of the constitution all its own, as we have in the cases of Porto Rico and the Philippines, but the Kieat Burton, of Kansas, is willing to compensate her by fitting her up with pome Chinese exclusion that is calcula ted to five her a unique position in "the sisterhood of states." Washington Post: There is as little occasion for any of the trusts to fear unfriendly action by this congress as there was for Boston to get into a panic in IS'.'S through apprehension of an at tack from the Spanish squadron. We co not believe the trusts would pay for insurance against this, congress half so liberally as some of the "solid men of Boston" are said to have paid for bom haidment policies. What is there in the i e onl of any congress, Republican or 1 lemocra tic, to disturb the serenity of the combines? H. K. Carroll, who has given j; i eat attention to church statistics in this country and who in 1SJ0 was lunch statistician fur the government, says that the church membership gain iii all denominations last year was one and a half per cent, whereas the popu lation increased at the rate of two n.l tix-tenths per cent. He places the total hureh membership at 2S,fiy.S,02S, a gain cf 40.?,7-in over a year ago. The com munistic So it ties, according to Dr. Car re!! are declining. The Shakers, he tin. Is. have decreased to per cent since l?.. He concludes that there are real ly more pulpits than there are ordained ministers. In the latest issue of the Financial Review Henry Clews takes a roseate view of the business situation, present am future. The general business and industrial situaiion is satisfactory, he says, and the volume of trade prom ises to be large, oven if carried on at less profit than in 1902 or 1901. Wages ore In many instances at the highest level on record and labor is well em-jl-oyed everywhere, so that consump tion is active throughout the country. It is questionable if a single line of industry can be found that is suffering from overproduction. A remarkable Instance of industrial activity is the statement that the United States Steel Corporation has orders on its books nggreguting 5,347,000 tons, against 4, 4.'7,i'eu tons the same time last year. GROWTH OF CHURCHES. The statistician of the Chicago Inter Ocean finds that the maintenance of the thousands of churches in the Unit ed States cost last year $2110,000.000. Of this amount the Baptists paid $14,138. H the Kpiscopal churches J15.1S4.000, the Congregationalists $10.27G,00. The Presbyterians of the north ex pended in the maintenance of churches and for church activities JlT.OSO.Ooo, the M -thodists, north and south. $24. 512, 000. All this was in addition to the comple tion of the twentieth-century funds, figgregatinsr in America and England 5 u.omt,0oo. The American Methodists secured .'l.OeO.Mi.o of this amount, of which S9, Cno.O'iO goes to pay church debts, $7, (n(sj;,rt to church colleges and semi naries, and th- balance to p;ge minis ters nml philarthropi. s. The Presby t erians ot the north ralsid $7,500,000, the Canadian Methodists $1.27,0,000, the Ca nadian Presbyterians SI. 500, 000, the TtHWsh Wesbyans J4.500.OO0, the Brit ish Congregatinnalists J3.:.50,010, and the British Baptists Jl, 250,000. There was a steady but not remark nbi" growth in church membership dur ing the year. There is no change in the estimate of membership of the Catho lic church in fifty dioceses. The Pres byterians of rill branches report an in-(t.-s in membership of 32.000, Metho dic s 61.000, Baptists 14,000, Congrega tSonnlists 12,000, and Disciples of Christ THE EXE S3 AGE A SUMMARY. Governor Bailey's message is an ex ceedingly plain, matter of fact state ment. There is no attempt at fine writ ing. Under many of the thirty odd sub jects considered there Is a remarkable conciseness of expression. Recommen dations are plain and explicit. Several reports and recommendations of com missions and department boards are simply referred to the legislature of its consideration. The short opening para graph of the document is hopeful, cheerful, optimistic. The governor, a farmer, naturally gives prominence to agriculture, in line with the predominating industry of the state which he pronounces "The basis of the state's material prosperity." Kansas he says leads all other states in wheat, alfalfa and the sorghums, rank ing w ith the foremost .in corn, and with unsuspected possibilities. lie especially compliments the work of Secretary Co burn of the state board. He says the advisability of continuing the bounty on the sugar beet will be for the legislature to determine. He refers to horticulture as an indus try "that elevates our rural communi ties, creates a love cf home and induces the boys to stay on the farm," advising such appropriations as may be neces sary to carry on the society for its pro motion. In connection with live stock matters he suggests an amendment of the law which admits cattle for immediate slaughter free of charge, stating that fees for these will increase the fund the state receives from about $5,000 to $10,000 and asks for the employment of additional Inspectors made necessary by more railroad mileage. He says the loss to cattle owners from Texas fever is small by reason of the good work of the commission. He recommends for the three state educational institutions "such appropri ations as in the judgment of the legis lature may be necessary to maintain them upon a plane commensurate with the growth and development of the state." advocating a nominal incidental or tuition fee, larger for pupils from outside the state. He suggests that the salary of the superintendent of public instruction be increased to $2,500; advocates strength ening of compulsory attendance law and says "the boy upon the street in many cases becomes a dangerous citizen of the state." Concerning the railroad board he thinks that the inter-urban roads oper ating by electricity should be placed under the jurisdiction of the board and recommends as worthy of consideration the placing of the telegraph companies under the same jurisdiction; wants an amendment of the law to provide for bi ennial instead of annual reports. He notes that of 202 cases filed 152 have been settled through the action of the board, 106 of which have been favorable to the complainants and 46 to the rail roads. He says the twine plant at the peni tentiary has achieved a reasonable de gree of success and should be maintain ed with some slight modifications. He says that one-fourth of the 1,069 prison ers in the penitentiary are from Okla homa and believes that territory should take care of its own as soon as possi ble. Additional water supply for various state institutions is demanded. Darticu larly at Dodge City, a soldiers' home in splendid condition, but with practically no fire protection. He points to the fact that the report of state banks clearly indicates the prosperous condition of the people, not ing a gain of S3 banks in two years, gains in deposits of over tight millions, and of loans of over eleven millions, saying that the deposits now aggregate over forty millions; that fifteen millions in cash is on hand in the banks. He strongly recommends changing the method of handling the state funds, ad vocating an amendment to the law so that county treasurers .in remitting to the stale treasurer shall be required to notify the state auditor of the amounts remitted, and that the accounts of the state fiscal agency and the state deposi tories shall be kept both with the audi tor of state and the slate treasurer so that the one office may be a check upon the other and that something more than the word of the treasurer shall be re quired as to the amount of funds upon deposit in the fiscal agencies. He says the state pays the Kansas fiscal agency 2 per cent on daily balances and de clares that the banks of Kansas holding state deposits should pay as much. He believes that they would be willing to do so and that this amount on the av erage deposits in the Topeka lauk- $480,000, would bring in an annual reve nue of $0,600. He also suggests that the state treasurer be permitted to utilize in state depositories a large amount ot idle money now kept in the state treas ury, 2 per cent upon which would bring in about $15,000 additional revenue. If these views are carried out he recom mends that the bond of the state treas urer be reduced one-half and be cover ed by some surety company whose fee is to be paid for out of the additional profits accruing. He recommends that the trafficking in the marketable commodities from the various state institutions be abolished; that where any quantity is sold it be disposed of for cash and credited to the proper institution. Special attention is devoted to the subject of assessment and taxation. He points out the abuses and inequalities growing out of the present law, framed thirty-four years ago when Kansas was a frontier state. He cites the evasion of. taxes by corporations and personal prop erty interests, saying that while in 1900 there were sixty millions of money in our banks the assessors found only three millions for taxation, and the total as sessment of personal property was three millions less than our holdings of money alone. He says the farmer, the small home owner, the possessor of real estate, the stockman and the merchant pay five-sixths of the tax and the rail roads the rest. He refers to the glaring inequities of assessment in adjoining counties. Without commenting upon the bill prepared by the tax commission or passing upon its merits, he invites the attention of the legislature to its fea tures with the hope that the work of the commission will not be lost. He recommends suitable appropria tions for the world's fair at St. Louis, calling attention to the fact that Kan sas was the first state to make any ap propriation and succeeded in securing one of the best sites foi its building. He recommends as worthy of consid eration the enactment of an arbitration law, the co-operation of the state with the nation toward the improvement of the National Guard, now composed of nearly 1,400 young men.. He compliments the state historical society and urges liberality in caring for it. He refers to the lavish, waste of pub lic money in the printing of useless and unnecessary documents which are filling the storerooms of the state house. He advocates more stringent fish and game laws and the establishment of a fish hatchery. He believes there. should be a state architect in the interest of economy in expenditures and uniformity in build ings. He believes that the new election law will prove quite satisfactory with, the omission of the square on the official ballot opposite the words "no nomina tion." He advises that the free employment agencies be made permanent, saying that the bureau furnished about 5.000 places out at a call for 6.700. He earnestly hopes that the legislature will reapportion the state, providing; for eight members and permitting Kansas to receive additional patronage, one eighth, which she now practically loses because the congressman-at-large is de nied certain prerogatives of the district members. He says the department of oil inspec tion shows a net profit of $14,000. and de sires amendments which will protect the consumer from poor grades of oil. He makes the gratifying notation that the last appropriation for the comple tion of the state house was sufficient, and that the capitol is a source of just pride. He advises appropriations to maintain the office of state accountant. He says the insurance laws need re vision; too many contradictions and in consistencies. In conclusion he suggests to the leg islature that the people will justify a generous support of all the great in terests of the state, but will condemn any waste of the public money. Judge Hazen appears to be dividing evenly between the good people and the wicked by rendering decisions up holding Bible reading in the public schools and sanctioning Sunday thea ters, both on the same day. If the legislature follow the usual cus tom, it will spend about forty-five of the fifty days playing politics and the re maining five days in passing needed laws. EDITORIAL COMMENT. Recent Lynchings. Philadelphia North American: Two more lynchings. occurring within two days, have been set down to the dis grace of the people of the United States. In each instance the mob took the life of an innocent victim. It is now admitted that the man who was lynched at Pitts burg. Kan., was not guilty of the crime for which vengeance was exacted in blood. Hi& brother is Baid to have been the real criminal, and he escaped. Of the two ne groes man and wife, who were tied side by aide and "shot to pieces" at Troy, S. C, only one could have been guilty of murder; but the mob would not wait for a legal In vestigation and killed both man and wo man, presumably wdth the connivance of the constables who had arrested them. And the lynchers now excuse themselves by saying that a neighboring jury not long ago acquitted a negro murderer! Puss as a Fire Alarm. Worcester (Mass.) Spy: The house cat has long had the repu tation of being sagacious enough to run to its master when something alarming happens in the house, particularly when in the night a fire fills the halls with smoke. Some ten or more weeks ago the mewing of a pet cat aroused i Worcester household at a moment when danger of suffocation was becoming very great. Puss, when confronted by unfamiliar conditions and alarmed in its own behalf, not infrequently mews or does something that attracts attention and thus saves lives or prevents, per haps, the destruction of the house itself. The cat is of a highly nervous tem perament and is, therefore, quickly af fected by anything that is out of the usual order. Though the cat's motives, like the motives of most creatures, may be selfish, they so manifest thetnselves from time to time as to guarantee to it a place beside the hearth. A man in Norristown, N. J., says that it was the cat that saved his family and himself from death the other night. He was awakened by the cat scratching at the bedroom door. When he opened the door he found that the stairway was in flames. He had just time to rescue his wife and children. What became of the cat is not stated, but it is to b hoped that it escaped and that it will live long and happily. If any one wishes to say that it was merely instinct that j took the cat to its master's door,, he is free to do so. But if a person chooses to say that it was something about the same thing as human intelligence, no one should quarrel with him. That Bad Man Jerome. Hartford Post. The gamblers and poolroom proprie tors of New York can't stand him. They have come to reeard him as an intoler sible nuisance. They are scandalized that he should interfere with their oc cupation. They can't understand what earthly business he has to bother them. They are convinced that it's a great wrong against the community for Jer ome to raid their establishments and to place in the center of the limelieht the doing of eminently respectable and re spectably eminent citizens. Haven't gentlemanly gamblers a right to violate the law? Haven't rich pool room proprietors like Can field a riiota! franchise to do as they please and run such establishments as they choose? This officious interference in their private business on the part of Jerome is an offense against decency. Shouldn't gentlemen be exempt from such annoyance? So the gamblers and pool room pro prietors are convinced that the people of New York made the mistake of their lives in electinir Jerome to the office of district attorney. The awful blunder must be undone. Therefore, it is said that the men with whose gambling op erations Jerome has interfered are pre pared to spend a round million dollars to get him ousted from office. A dis trict attorney that punishes rich and powerful lawbreakers just as persistent ly and vigorously as he does poor and weak ones is unbearable. So the opu lent gamblers intend to spend a mint (Of money In driving the impertinent Jer ome out of his job. They don't propose to have the district attorney's ofn e longer disregarded by a man who is so inconsiderate of their feelings. Still, the effort of these virtuously Indignant gamblers to have the district attorney's office de-Jeromized will make a large contribution to the gayety of nations, and we suspect that among those who will smile the most will one William Travers Jerome. JAYHAWXER JOTS. Barton county is cultivating the sugar beet fever. The two busiest places in St. John are the bowling alleys. A Great Bend woman "shooed" a cat from the room so vigorously that she broke her knuckles. Coal dealers at Meade get 59 a ton. The payins of that price alone should keep the customer warm. Wamesro is one of the liveliest towns in Kansas, which seems to please all of its residents save the undertaker. A Topeka hardware man whose hyd rants froze one night this week com plains of a drop in thermometers. After counting noses it looks like the gentleman from Lawrence had been de ceived by the editorial forecasts of his friends. Out in Thomas county the farmer who doesn't warm the bridle bits these frosty mornings isn't considered Christian. At Winona the claim is made by well drillers that they are now so deep thev can hear Chinamen beating up rice with chop sticks. The women of Wamego known as the "Hoboes" have a weekly sewing bee. Sewing bees can't sting, but they do a lot of buzzing. Now that the "slate" has been agreed upon some of the Copeland county poli ticians will cease to think that an office is chasing them with gum shoes on. The easy election of Mr. Pringle to the speakership is a rather thorough answer to the gentleman who made so much fuss over "morality" in politics. A Garden City boy admits that he would have stolen more than two horses at once but that he was green at the Business and could not handle the herd. There is a "good fellow" in EmporU who bothers his friends daily with his imaginary woes. But why advertise your troubles? If you have bom- legs avoid striued trousers. Some of the Neodesha jointists failed to pay their licenses and were compelled to seek greener pastures. In cases of this kind honesty is the best policy only when the premiums are kept up. GLOBE SIGHTS. fFrom the Atchison Globe. 1 Was there a circus in town yesterday? It's mighty dull today. A critic is, first of all. a liar. He does not hesitate to tell an untruth to make a good point. They tell of a man in Atchison so stingy that when he meets his shadow- he asks It for a chew of tobacco. They tell of an Atchison man who pass ed examinations for lodge insurance and a pension the same day. There are some people so particular that they think a widower has quit mourning if he brushes his cluthes. You all have kin you don't like, although you consider it a mark of good breeding to admit the fact to only a few. It costs a quarter this year to get your name in the city directory in black type. Formerly it cost half a dollar. Give people an inch and they will take a foot. A good plan is to jump them when they took an inch, and not wait for the foot.

The general staff corps is to consist of one chief of staff and two general officers, all to be detailed by the presi dent from officers of the army at large not below the grade of brigadier gen eral; 4 colonels. 6 lieutenant colonels, 12 majors and 20 captains, to be de tailed from officers of the grade of captain or first lieutenant, who. while so serving, shall have the rank, pay and allowances of captains mounted. All officers in the general staff shall be detailed therein for periods of four years. While serving in the general staff corps, officers may be assigned tempor arily to duty with any branch of the arm"y. Upon being relieved they shall return to the branch of the army in which they hold permanent commis sion, and no officer except a general officer shall be eligible to a further de tail in the general staff corps until he shall have served two years with the branch of the army in which commis sioned, except in case of emergency in the time of war. The bill also provides that the chief ot staff, under the direction ot tne presi dent, shall have supervision of all troops of the line and of the adjutant generals, inspector generals. judge advocates, quartermaster, subsistence, medical, pay and ordnance departments, the corps of engineers and the signal corps, and shall perform such other duties as may he as signed to him by the president. Duties now prescribed by statute for the com manding general of the army as a mem ber of the board of ordnance and forti fication and the board of commissioners of the soldiers' home shall be performed by the chief of staff or other officer des ignated by the president. Previous to the passage of the bill Mr. Warner of Illinois offered an amend ment to strike out the "secretary o! war" wherever it occurred in the bill. co.ipled with the "president." He ini'l'gni toe p,uiiieiiie uuimiiaim vi army should rest where it was. with the president. In the course of his remarks he declared sarcastically that he favored the bill because it would do so little harm. In time of peace, he said, it would provide a few officers with hai m less amusement and not interfere with the conduct of the army in the field when actual war came. The amendment was adopted, as were several other rrinor verbal amendments. New York Times. 11 EYIU UN ELECTED. Boise, Idaho. Jan. 13. Judge Welden B.

An Agreement GoTerniug a Number of Sine Operators AGREED WITH HIMSELF President cf Mining Company Head of Distributing: Company. Representative of a Number of Ilailroads Are Called. Chicago, Jan. 13. The most tangible evidence secured by the special grand jury in the coal shortage inquiry up to the present time is that which re lates to an alleged agreement drawn in March, last year, and which is said to govern a dozen mine operators in the Clinton, Ind., district with Wralter S. Bogle and the Crescent Coal and Min ing company as the Chicago factor. It is charged in the evidence presented that Mr. Bogle appears as president cf one of the Indiana mining com panies, making an agreement with himself as president of the Crescent Coal and Mining company. It is said that these mines were compelled to pool their outputs, to be disposed of by the Chicago factor. In getting at the facts, the jury today called before it Max Eichberg, of the Wabash Valley Coal company and re called Charles "W. Gilmore and Nor man S. Birkland, officers of the Cres cent company, who were before the jury for a time yesterday. A number of railroad men were also on hand when the jury began its work today, representing the Burlington, Wabash, Illinois Central, Monon and Michigan Central and were called in as fast as their testimony could be heard. W. H. Abrahams of the Building Man agers' association, was also a. witness and is said to have given valuable In formation concerning the maintenance of a room by the coal dealers' associ ation where secret conferences were held at regular intervals prior to the starting of the present investigation. He also declared that his association had found that dealers delayed, de livery of coal in good weather "and then pleaded that they were unable to deliver in rough weather, thus compell ing building managers to consume their entire stock of coal on hand. men go mm. Linemen Come to Topeka Re fuse to Take Strikers' Places. A prominent union labor leader stated today that twenty-five linemen who were brought to Toxeka yesterday to take the places of the men who are striking for higher ffae?s trom the Missouri Kansas Telephone company refused to go to work here vh 'a they discovered that thev were to break a strike. They have gone back to the places where they came from. It is said that they are men who have been wot king for the company outside of Topeka. The strikers demand that the company shall recognizt the union and pay the union scale of wages. It is also claimed by the union men that the officials of the telephone com pany have refused to grant a confer ence with the men. and that the trades council has by vote declared the Mis souri Kansas Telephone company to be unfair. "We will make it interesting- for the company," said the union man. "We have various ways in which the union can express its disapproval of such un fair conduct, and from now on this strike will be fought out to the bitter end. There will be no comnromise. We will bring the company to terms." Manager Bayless, of the telephone company said today: "We have not brought any men to town to take the places of strikers. There must be some mistake in yie re port that we have. We are not trying to do any outside work because we haven't got the material here to work with. As to whether or not the com pany has refused to grant a conference with the men I can not say." TO GO WEST FOR HUSBANDS Indiana Girls to Start in a Body to North Danota. Kokomo, Ind., Jan. 13. Forty-eight Kokomo and Howard county girls are making preparations to start to Rugby, N. D., to become wives of men' they have never seen. Several weeks ago J. It. Walters, formerly of this place, now a resident of North Dakota, wrote a let ter to a newspaper here saying that there were 500 bachelors near Rugby wanting wives. As a result Walters received nearly 100 letters from young women of this place offering to go there and marry their share of the lonely bachelors. The names of the women were given to the Dakota men and correspondence was opened, the young women being willing to take chances on securing go A hus bands with quarter sections of land. The girls are making preparations for the journey and will go in a body. A TEACHERS' UNION. i;atlon Is Said to Be Gaining Ground in Iowa. Des Moines. Ia.. Jan. 13. The agitat'on for the organization of the teachers of Iowa into unions for the purpose of mu tual protection and the advancement of warcs, is going on quietly, but there is evidence that the movement is having im portant reult.. Manv inquiries are coming to President A. K. Holder of the State Federation of Labor, and what is of more importance, the teachers in a community in Webster county have already taken steps toward the fiTT-mation of a union. Prominent union men sav the low rate of wages being paid to teae'hers and the action of t-achers in the direction of organization in other parts of the country are bound to have effect in time. Thev "say. however, results wii! come nniv 'after 'a campaign of education and after the teachers have come to learn that their inter' sts lie along the same lines as those of organized labor. TO BE HEARD JAN. 20. Suit for Receiver of Oid Kansas Mutual Argued Then. In the United States court Monday afternoon the attorneys fc the parties interested in the application of Donald M Du-;an, of Kansas City, for the anoint'rnent f a receiver for the Kan-sa:-l Mutual Life Insurance company ap petred before Judee Hook and asked that a time be set for hearing evidence in the matter. Judge Hook directed that the attorneys appear in court on Monday. January 2G, and present such evidence as had been secured. Oral tes timony will be heard. R. T. Herrick, who appeared with David Overmyer as attorney for the Kansas Mutual, an nounced that he would immediately pro cure and file depositions such as the de fense required, and that the plaintiffs would be enabled to examine the same prior to the time set for the hearing Judge Hook may appoint an examiner to take charge of the evidence. The application has been brought with the object of annulling the consolidation of the Kansas Mutual with the Kansas Union Life Insurance company, an nounced several weeks ago. The plain tiffs in the case will try to show that the merger was made without the knowledge or consent of the numerous policy holders of the Kansas Mutual who were supposed to have a voice in all important affairs connected with the management of the company's business. An effort will be made also to show that a large amount of the assets of the company were placed by the deal in a position beyond the control of the policy holders who were thereby defrauded of them. No dispute is made by either side over the facts in the case. The main ques tion is of the power of the officers of the Kansas Mutual to enter Into the ar rangement concluded by them with the officers of the Kansas Union company. All three members of the firm of Ross ington. Smith Histed appeared before Judge Hook yesterday for the plaintiff. WOOD ASKS FOR WORK. Requests Assignment to Philip pines and Gets It.

Jan. 13 How may the boy who can sins but will not be made to sins is the problem which is occupying considerable attention from the principal and one of the teachers of the high school. A few days before the holiday vacation Miss Wozner, while conducting the singing lessons, called upon one of the boys to sing the selec tion alone. He refused to do so, and when she called upon the others in turn all refused to sing. As a punishment the teacher announced that they could not take up any other study until they agreed to try to sing. The boys held out for several hours, but finally one by one capitulated until but three remained. These boys sat about idle for several days, and wer finally sent home. When school opened Monday they appeared, but still refused to sing, and complaints were made by their parents to the board of education, the tenor of which was that they didn't care whether their boys learned to sing or not. but that they were very much opposed to having thel- children kept idle. The board of edu tion left th matter in the hands of the principal. BITTEN BY A D 0 G. Sirs. K. C. Bean, of Oakland, Severely Injured. Mrs. K. C.

A TRMISFQRfMTIOfi. Midwinter Exposition Workmen Are Busy at the Auditorium. With W. A. Alexander in charge of a gang- of decorators and M. Heery arranging the work for the carpenters who are to erect the booths for the ex hibitors in the Midwinter exposition the Auditorium is a scene of activity to day. Things have moved rapidly there for the last three or four days and the scenery for the chicken show and the inauguration has been shifted with dispatch to make room for the work men who have things in charge how. The seats which filled the first floor of the -big hall have been stored in the basement aMd their place is being rap idly taken by the village of booths which are to contain the exposition displays. Temporary stairways have been built from the stage to the balcony on each side and a temporary floor is being constructed at the back of the platform for the dressing room. In a few days the facade of this dressing room will be put up under the direction of W. Gillespie. It is to be artistically W. decorated by him and will form back ground for the stage where the vaudeville performances are to be put on. The general appearance will some what resemble the rest room o last year's exposition. This year the south dressing room is to be set apart as a rest room for women visiting the show and a colored woman will be placed in charge to wait upon the women who make use of it. In th scheme of decoration the gen eral effect will be green. For this an enormous amount of light green bunt ing is being hung about the walls above the balcony. Downstairs the booths will cover the side walls com pletely so none of the white will show anywhere. A large amount of holly has been secured and Mr. Alexander has secured other kinds of natural greenery to work in with his decora tions. The task of preparing the hall is :i big one and night shifts will be employed part of the time if necessary to complete it. Saturday had the heaviest sale of tickets of any day since the advance sale was com'menced a week ago. The estimate of ten thousand as the amount of sales for the first week seems to hav? been an accurate one. It is thought that the remaining five thou sand will be gone by Thursday night. Thursday will be Santa Fe pay day and Manager Rrigham expects that all remaining tickets will be cleaned up by the shopmen. STRM1GE INDEED. Mrs. Nation Is Acquitted of Dis turbing the Peace. Mrs. Carrie Nation, the "Home De fender," was brought before Judge 51a gaw last eveninc and acquitted of the charge of disturbing the peace. The fine for contempt of court was not re mitted, however, and if the fine is not paid Mrs. Nation is due to stay fifty mvs in the citv jail, which answers all the purposes so far as the police depart ment is concerned. She can't disturb the poor, downtrodden jointists. Rev. Dr. McFarland failed to appear in court at the 4 o'clock session, the time limit set by Judge Magaw, but he sent his check for $100, and the commit ment for contempt of court was can celed. Judge Magaw did not relent, and r.ad the check not arrived at the ap pointed time says that he would have sent officers after the minister. Great indignation is expressed among the police officers at the sermon of Dt McFarland Sunday night. They say that a marked copy of the Monday papers containing the article was sent to all their families, presumably by Dr. McFarland. All his statements about the conduct of the officers are branded as false and slanderous, and there is talk of makins him retract by legal measures, but of course this won't be done. Judge Magaw takes a lighter view of the case, and says he doesn't care what McFarland tells about him. "His statements about the police de partment are so manifestly false that it f is not necessary to deny tnem, saia Judge Macaw this morning. "His accu isnticn." are the outbreaking of a man smarting with the sting of disappoint i ti-pii t -l n.i I he result of festered malice in his heart. 1 don't approve of these EE THE OVERCOATS!

I notice that he uses language of that kind in his sermons, so it must be passable." Chief Donovan does not take the abuse so easily. "It Is a shame for a man of McFarland's sense to break out in petty abuse like that," he said. "He might possibly be excused for saying that we drank and gambled here, which is utterly false, but he has not been hfie to see. He mujht guess at that, i ui he knows he tells w hat isn't true when he said that Judge Magaw ob jected to his presence at the trial of Mrs. Nation. He knows that he was accorded the most courteous treatment until he voluntarily made the outbreak. He knows that an officer secured .1 chair for him, so that he would not have to sit on the crowded benches. Then he came out in the office and insulted an officer. As to his charges of immorality, we would like to have a thorough inves tigation made. At one time, six or seven months ago, the officers who arrived be fore roll call were allowed to play cards in the waiting room. 1 stopped that practice, and not a card has been turned since.

Winnie Mer cer, who pitched last season for the Detroit American team was to have been playing manager of the team next session. S. T. Angus, the owner of the team, said this afternoon that he had not the slightest idea what could have impelled Mercer to have committed suicide. "I can not even conjecture as to the cause of Mercer's act," he said. "I am sorry for him. He wa3 a splendid fel low. I can not yet say anything about who will succeed Mercer as manager." While It has been generally under stood for several weeks that Mercer was to manage the team next season Mr. Angus only yesterday wired him for the first time as manager of the club. The telegram contained only good news. It said: ''We are well satisfied (meaning with the Cincinnati peace conference). What do you think? Have you anyone in mind for the third fielder? Have you training quarters engaged? When will you be home?" 1 Cameras Photo S X Pitcher Winnie Siercer a Sui cide in a San Francisco Hotel. San Francisco, Cal., Jan. 13. Winnie D. Mercer, a pitcher of the All Ameri can baseball team, registered at the Occidental hotel last evning and was found asphyxiated in hia room this morning. Mercer was registered under the name of George Murray and gave his residence at Philadelphia. The watchman of tfie hotel in making his rounds detected the odor of ga.s com ing from Mercer's room and failing to receive a response to his knocking, broke down the door. Clad In his night clothes and lying in the bed wdth his coat and vest covering his head Mercer was found. From the gas jet in the center of the room was suspended a rubber tube and the end of this Mercer had placed in his mouth after turning the gas full on. What caused Mercer to end his life is unknown. Mercer's identity was established by papers found among his effects, one of which read "Tell Mr. Van Horn that Winnie Mer cer has taken his life." Mercer was a sufferer from pulmonary troubles and as the disease refused to yield to treatment, he be came despondent. Mercer left a state- LINCOLN PARK ANIMALS. Celebrities Christen Them With. Im posing Cognomeci, One of the principal diversions of celebrities coming' to Chicngo seems to be the naming of the animals at Lin coln park. Often a celebrated grand opera singer or a famous nobleman from Europe while in Chicago will go out to Lincoln park with- great pomp and in flict a name on some helpless beast in the zoological collection. Sometimes newspapers have gotten up a. voting contest for the purpose of selecting names for various animals of the zoo. But Cy De Vry, the head animal keeper at Lincoln park, is authority for the statement that this naming of the ani mals by great personages and newspa- t uppue 1 AT UNHEARD-OF PRICES.

Mr. De Vry went on to say that most of the animals at the park were named j by himself. Others have been named by the keepers who take care of them, while others bear names they had when they came into the possession of the park board. Some of the animals have two or three names. For instances, Mr. De Vry calls one of the young lions Teddy Roosevelt, the names given to it by its owner. Mile. Adjie, the lion tamer. But the men who scrub out Teddy Roosevelt's cage every day have conferred upon him the more plebeian title of Whiskers. The monkey family are all well named.

Roosevelt. rton society, the threw ladies whose photographs are reproduced above, enjoy special prominence as the wives of While their husbands stand high in tfae f-,vor ef the president, these ladies enjoy the personal friendship of Mrs. and Bess, and their only child, now two years old, is known as Babe. Of the buffaloes the one most widely known is Mollie. the oldest denlzeo of the Lincoln Park zoo. Another buffaltl is called Bill. It is needless to say that Bill was named by the keepers. Mr. De Vry says it is an impoitant part of his many duties at the park to get around to a new born animal as soon as possible and christen the new comer before the keepers have a chance of naming it Bill. "They want to call everything Bill," said Mr. De Vry gloomily. "If it wasn't for my being pretty spry they'd have every animal in this park, from the Florida crane to the African wart hog. named Bill." The two zebras at the park are call ed Pete and Jennie, and the Indian an telopes are Billie and Nellie. The old est camel fortunately escaped beir.55 named Bill by the keepers and Ben by Mr. De Vry and rejoices In the charac teristic name of Pasha. The sand hill cranes avoided th obliquy of common names, and, indeed, are proud at being called Romeo and Juliet. "Some opera singers did that.' said Mr. Pe Vry, sadly, "It was when I was away from the park and the poo things had no friends to protect 'm, and these here singers came out wttls their press agents to name some ani mals. They found out that the ponr cranes had no names and couldn't he!; themselves, so they named 'em Rome.i and Juliet, and for a wonder the names stuck. But it hurt their feelings dread fully. Honest. If you don't believe it come around almost any time and you'll find them standing on one leg and wttn their heads bent 'way down, looking a dejected as anything you ever saw In your life. That's what done it. They stand around thinking of the horribi; disgrace of bearing those foreign love sick sounding names, and all the other animals give them the merry ha, r.. Fact. You ought to hear the laughing hyena give them the ha ho." '"The trouble about outsiders naminat the pets." said Mr. Oe Vry, "Is that nam ing an animal something and getting other people to call it by that name are differ ent thinwrs. The keepers always have then own names for the animals wnethrr It's the one I gave the beapt. the one it hud when it came here or the onu they gyve it thcmfelvea. The person who come up here and gives one of the animals a rum goes right away aurain. There is nobody left to keep on calling the beast bv that name until the name uticks. I remember when the RussianB named the Russian bear that the thing was done with a good deal of ceremony. The chap that did tha naming said a lot of thingsovitch in Rus sianiski and then formally christened the bear Count Tolstoi. Then they went away and stood looking at the bear and wonder ing if it would live, and along- came one of the workmen to clean out the cage and he hit Count Tolstoi on the noe with a broom and said: 'Histe over there Bill.' and I knew it was all off with the count. When I name an animal, you see, it goes, because I sit around and call the beast by that name and tell the workmen what the name is and make 'em cut out that 'Bin' business, and so after a while my namo zoes.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 13,1903. GOV. D:iLEY'S MESSAGE. (Continued from First Page.) production of sugar beets yielding large ly in tonmis? and suwr content. The i legislature provided lor the pay- i ment of a bounty of one dollar per ton j o;i all sugar beets srown in Kansas in tin? years lfifil and 1902, containing hot less than 12 per cent of Fiurar and act- truly used in the manufacture ot sugar, The advisability of providing such a bounty on sugar beets grown in the ensuing- two years will be for the legis lature to determine. Horticulture. I would impress upon you the import ance of encouraging this important In dustry; an industry that elevates our rural communities, creates a love of home, and induces the boys to stay on the farm- I'nder the educational influ ence of the department of horticulture, the orchardists of the state have, in the last decade, planted 5,TS-!,4f)." apple trees, bringing our stale up from ranking ts'-verith to ranking fourth, or an in crease in ten years of nearly 100 per cent. The total of fruit trees and grape Vines is quite li.l.OOO.oOO in our state. The officers' of this department are chosen by the practical horticulturists for their long experience and ability. The product of the horticulturist is fast Vecnming one of the great commercial Items of our state, and I recommend tuich appropriations as may be neces sary to carry on the work of this so ciety. Live Stock Sanitary Board. The work of this commission during the past year has been very satisfactory, resulting in a large saving to the live Flock interests of the state by prevent ing the spread of contagious diseases. Ihiring the first eleven months of the calendar year J(f2, there were inspected under the supervision of this board ,r43, R7 cattle. Certificates were Issued to "iT.lfiO of these, the legal fee collected nmounting to $5,25.80; 2S2.06S head of cattle have been passed free of charge tinder the statute exempting cattle "which are intended for immediate slaughter. The loss to th cattle owners of the state caused by the Texas fever is comparatively small, and this fact Is due almost wholly to the efficient work of this commission. Of the whole num ber of cattle offered for admission to Kansas during the year, 7,,"ti0 were found to be infectious cattle, and were turned bark or sent to quarantine pens. By reason of the extended territory embraced in quarantine laws passed in I'.jel. and new railroads having been built and old ones extended Into new territory, the board fell called upon to ftnploy inspectors beyond the contem plation of the appropriation of the last legislature, in order to meet the re quirements of the statute, and I recom mend an a ppropriation to cover this ex pense, as suggested by the sanitary board. The w hole number of inspectors employed did riot at any time exceed the st.atutorv provision. The board recommends the amend ment of the law which admits cattle in tended for immediate slaughter free of charge to our state and markets, and make them liable fnr inspection fees, the same as any other cattle. It is claimed this will not increase the work or expense and will nearly double the revenue from that source. It will also eliminate the dangers of the Texas fever contagion in the native division of the Kansas City market, from which source the state has suffered during the past year, as the infection which has been encountered in different counties is di rectly traceable to the Kansas City yards. There is every reason to believe that the infection was carried there by cattle which were permitted to come in under the clause admitting slaughter cattle free. I believe this- amendment is worthy off your careful consideration. Educational Institutions. "As a result of the general prosperity of the state, there is a marked increase in the attendance at each of our sr-ue educational institutions the University, the Agricultural college, and the State Normal school. I would respectfully recommend for each of thesa institutions .such appropriations as in vour .iudg ment may be necessary to maintain them upon a plane commensurate with the growth and development of the state.. For a detailed report of the work ings and necessities of these institutions, I refer you to the reports of the dif ferent boards, made to mv predecessor. I believe that the law should provide for the charging of a nominal incidental or tuition fee at our educational Insti tutions. I find, upon investigation .nd correspondence with other states, that this custom is largely in vogue, result ing in considerable revenue for main tenance without inflicting any hard ships or burdens. Kspecially d I think It unjust to rhe taxpayers o" our state that pupils from other states can at tend our state educational institutions free of cost, as is now done. tit the three institutions of our state, thare are now enrolled 16!) pupils from other states, wiijt practically no cost to them. I would respectfully recommend that a tuition fee be charged for pupils out side of the state of at least 50 per cent of the per capita cost of the tuition at the institutions they attend. "Western University, duindaro. This institution, founded for the liber El edu ation of the colored youth of the Ptate. I believe is doing a work, under the management of Prof. W. T. Vernon, that is worthy of your generous consid eration and liberal support. Educational Interests. In the matter of school legislation, I invite the attention of the legislature to the recommendations of State Superin tendent Nelson, as found in his biennial report. Without indorsing his recom mendations, it is a clean and conscien tious review of the work and needs of our public schools. There is a universal sentiment among the teachers and educators of the state that the salary of the state superintend ent should be increased from $2,000 to J'-.r-OU. It is claimed the salary of this oflieial (should be equal to that of secre tary of state, state treasurer, state audi tor, and attorney general. This claim teems to me but just. Repeated efforts have. been made in recent years to improve our compulsory attendance iaw. It is conceded that our present compulsory at tendance law is weak in many re spects, and should be strengthened. The Mate has the same right to enforce at tendance at school that it has to enforce collection of taxes for the support of schools. It is wise economy for the state to enact such laws as will enable school authorities to enforce attendance at school. The boy uvon the street in many cases becomes the dangerous citi zen of the state. The people of Kansas w ill just if v a liberal appropriation for the educational cshir.it at the St. Louis exposition. 'Kansas has a splendid school system, and it will be a treat credit to us to secure a worthy display at the St. Louis exhibit of our educational resources. Our public school system is the greatest heritage that the founders of our com monwealth have bequeathed unto us, and it should he preserved and enlarged Iy wise and conservative legislation! State Board of Kailroad Commis sioners. The law creating- this board was pass ed by the legislature in its session of JSC I and took effect on the 2fth day of March of that year. The fact that there had been no railroad commission in the tints for st number of years caused a large number of grievances against the raiircad. companies to accumulate, and there have been filed with this board since its organization and prior to No vember 30, 1902, 202 cases. besides a large number of complaints of minor importance that were not filed and ta ken up formally, but through the nego tiations of the board were adjusted to the satisfaction of the complainants. Of the 202 cases filed and docketeci. 152 have been settled by trial and judgment or by compromises and adjustment be tween the parties to the action through the Recommendations of the board; 13 have been dismissed for want of juris diction, and seven dismissed for want of prosecution, leaving 23 cases pending and unsettled. Of the lf2 cases that have been tried and settled. 106 have been favorable to the complainants and 46 to the respondents. No appeals have been taken from the findings and judg ments of this board, but the cuestion involved in case No. 44, the case of t!ie Shawnee Milling company et al. vs. the-Atchison, Topeka Santa, Fe, was brought before the district court of Douglas county, Kansas .and the judg ment of that court sustained the find ings and judgment of this board. The Kansas City-Leavenworth Rail way company, an interurban railroad operating by electricity in and between the cities of Leavenworth and Kansas City, Kan., carries both freight and pas sengers, and crosses at grade the tracks of other railroads operated by steam. This road, and all other interurban roads doing: business as common car riers and operated by electricity, in my judgment, should be placed under the jurisdiction of this board. The relations between the railroads and telegraph companies are so intimate and close that in some cases jurisdic tion over the telegraph companies is necessary in order to get a full and sat isfactory adjudication of the issues, and for this reason the board feels that the telegraph companies of the state should he placed under its jurisdiction, and this recommendation of the board, in my judgment, is worthy of your careful consideration. The report required by law to be made by this board is intended largely for the information of the governor and the legislature, to show the doings of the board and the efficiency of the law. and. as the legislature meets biennially I would respectfully recommend an amendment making the report of this board biennial instead of annual, as the law now provides. Grain Inspection Department. At the last session of the legislature the grain inspection laws were changed from fees to a salary basis. There have been inspected and weighed by the de partment, in the past 20 months, 216.400 cars of grain, at a cost to the state of J61.277.56 and the department has turned Into the state treasury $62.!J82.44, leaving a balance to the credit of the depart- Iment of $1,704.SS. The work at the different stations has been done In a generally satisfactory manner. In the past two years the de partment has had less work to do than usual. In 1991 we had an almost total failure of the corn crop, and in 1902 the wheat crop was shorter than in former years; still, in spite of this fact, the de partment has been self-sustaining. "With a normal crop of all grains, a substan tial profit would come to the state. The weighing department at Kansas City has been hamoered by a lack of appropriation, necessitating a smaller force than was needed to do the in creased amount of work properly. 1 would suggest a larger appropriation, so that the work could he done thor oughly, if necessary, making a small in crease of the fee charged to meet the increased expense. Charitable Institutions. The dictates of humanity suggest gen erous appropriations for the support of the charitable institutions of the-state, ancl it is very gratifying to me to be able to say that I believe each one of the institutions under control of the board of trustees of state charities and corrections is in good condition and has been maintained during the last admin istration without a deficit. For your guidance and information as to the needs of each of the Institutions under the control of this board, 1 refer you to their thirteenth biennial report. I especially call your attention to the Parsons State hospital. The last legis lature having reappropriated the lapsed appropriation of 1899 for the establish ment of a hospital at Parsons, the board has proceeded to the work of erecting an institution in compliance with the lav. After careful investigation of the subject, they have decided to make the Parsons institution one wholly for the treatment of epileptics. Several other states have provided themselves with institutions of this character with very satisfactory and humane results. The removal of the insane epileptics from the other state hosnitals is most desirable. and it is believed will prove beneficial both to tne epileptics and the other in sane. I believe, therefore, the recom mendation of the board in reference to this institution is worthy of careful con sideration, and that the making of the Parsons institution an asylum for epi leptics will be a humane and progress ive movement. You will also note that the board is asking more land at some of the insti tutions; also increased water supply, both for sanitation and fire protection, the reasons given for these requests seem excellent and the improvements necessary. The Penitentiary. Certain repairs and improvements are needed at the penitentiary. These are set forth in detail in the thirteenth bi ennial report of the directors and ward en. I specially call your attention to the need of a new ward for the women prisoners, also for the appropriation for water supply. The legislature of 1901 authorized the purchase or lease of additional coal lands for the use of the state, but no appropriation was made for the purpose of making either the purchase or lease; but a contract has been made for the purchase of what is known as Staisrer's island, a tract of land containing S14 2-3 acres. The deeds conveying this land to the state have been executed and are now in escrow in the Leavenworth Na tional hank, subject to the approval oi the legislature. I invite your attention especially to this matter. The parole law for convicts of the state penitentiary, a development of the conditional pardon rule inaugurated by Governor Stanley during his first term, is in successful operation, as shown by the reports on file. It was an experi ment in this state, but in many other states, where it had been in force for several years, it may be said to have passed the experimental stage, especially in Ohio and Minnesota. It is now recog nized by experienced prison management as an aid in prison discipline and as a means through which young men, espe cially those who are serving their first terms in the penitentiary, can be saved from following a life of crime. The defect, however, in the present system of granting paroles In this state is. in my judgment, the lack of at equitable adtustment of the method through which it is put in operation. It should be based unon the merit system. The parole should come from a list of eligibles, on grades which the prisoner attains through his own efforts. This would place the friendless inmate upoi the same footing with the one favored by friends and influence from the out side. I do not mean to allege that under-the present working of the parole law, this latter class has been intention ally permitted to enjoy Its benefits, but in the very nature of things they are sc. favored, for the influences which they have are able to take up their respective cases and present them, while th? friendless and unknown nrn is without these opportunities. The board of di rectors and warden of the penitentiary, under the rules of a merit system to be devised by the legislature, are best qualified to place the names in the re spective grades and classes, through which grades and classes the inmates could reach the eligible list, and from which list the governor could parole. 1 would suggest (such legislation as may be necessary to meet these requirements. The twine plant at the penitentiary, in view of the inexperience of those charged with Us conduct, has achieved a reasonable degree of success, and 1 be lieve should be maintained upon its present basis; and suggest that the profits of the plant be set aside until f-5.000 is accumulated, this fund to be used to protect the revolving fund fr6m loss, should any occur, which is liable to happen even under the most careful business management. Oklahoma Prisoners. There are 1,069 prisoners in the peni tentiary, of whom 276 are from Okla homa. I question the wisdom of Kansas longer assuming the responsibility ot taking care of Oklahoma's prisoners, and recommend that Oklahoma be asked to relieve us of this charge as soon as she can do so. Kansas State Soldiers' Home. This home was founded upon the pa triotic sentiment that it was the duty of the state to provide for the indigent sol dier of the civil war and his family. I believe the home and its affairs are in sp'endid condition, but I call the atten tion of the legislature to the very im I orta it need of fire protection at this in stitution. Situated upon the prairies, several miles from Dodge City, "with practically no fire protection, in case a. fire should break out during severe col l weather or during a blizzard, the loss of life and the suffering that would be entailed upon -the inmates, many of whom are nearly helpless, would be something too terrible to contemplate. I most earnestly recommend an appro priation large enough to meet this emergency. State Banks. Thf report of the bank commissioner shows the institutions under the control of this department as being in excellent condition. Perhaps nothing more clear ly indicates the prosperous condition of our people than a comparison of the statements made by our banks under the oflicial call in 1900 and again in 1902. Comparison made between the calls of September 1. 1900, and November 25. 1902. shows the total number of banks under state supervision at this time is 477, a gain of S9 banks in two years. Tha total capital is now J7,751,o6o. an in crease of $1,138,000 during the same period. The total surplus is now $1,763... 701.86. a gain of $419,491.34. The total deposits are now $40,135,176.53, a gain of $8,508,841.14. The total loans are now $t2,8Sr,046.9S, an increase, of $11,072,211.42. The total value of al! real estate, other than bank buildings, is $253,641.78, a d crease of $279,716.14 in two years. The banking law does not contemplate banks holding real estate other than a suitable building for the transaction of the bank's business, and a large proportion of the real estate now held was acquired through the adjustment of matured loans, and the banks are rapidly, a mended tht county treasurers, when their best interests will permit, disposing of this class of security, as the decrease of nearly $300,000 will show. The cash and sight exchange (legal reserve) at this time is $15,352,431.44, or 38.25 per cent, of the entire deposits, showing the banks of the state are upon a safe and conservative basis. Handling of Public Funds. I believe that the law should be so amended that county treasurers, when they remit any funds to the state treas urer, should be required to notify the state auditor of the amount remitted, and the auditor, upon receiving such notice, should be required to charge the treasurer with such amount. And. I would further recommend that our laws be so amended that the ac counts of the state fiscal agency and the state depositories be kept with the auditor of state and state treasurer in a more businesslike manner. Under the present law, neither the state fiscal agency nor the state depositories are required to report to the auditor of state. When the state treasurer remits to the fiscal agency or makes a deposit with the state depository, he should be required to sign, with the auditor of state, a statement showing that said remittance or deposit has been made, and the auditor of state should be re quired to charge the state fiscal agency or state depository with said remit tance or deposit, and credit the state treasurer; and when the state treas urer issues a check or draft on the llscal agency or state depository, before delivering said check or draft to the party to whom it is issued, the treas urer should be required to present it to the auditor of state, and the auditor be required to countersign said check or draft, keeping a record of the same, charging the treasurer with the amount of said check or draft and creciiting the fiscal agency or state de pository with the amount, tinder the existing law, when the board of ex aminers, consisting of the governor, secretary of state, and auditor of state, makes its monthly examination of the state treasury, it is compelled to ask the banks what the state has on de posit with them, and is compelled to take the treasurer's statement, as to what amount of money is in the state fisctl agency. New York, in place of getting this information from the rec ords in the auditor's office. I find, from the record kept of the examinations made by the aforesaid board of the state treasury for the year 1902. that the average amount of funds in the fiscal agency during said year was $51,390. I also find that the state has a contract with the state fiscal agency whereby the agency pays the state two per cent on the average daily balances of state funds in said agency, which for 1902 would amount to $1027.80. I also find from the records of said board that the average amount deposit ed in Topeka banks, the same being state depositories, for the year 1902, was $481,272.69. If the New York bank which is the fiscal agency ran pay two per cent on the average daily balances, it occurs to me that the banks of Kan sas will be willing to pay the same. Two per cent on the average deposit? in the Topeka banks for 1902 would amount to $9,625.43. I also find from the records of said board that theaverage amount of money in. the state treasury and in the To peka banks as state depositories for the year 1902 amounted to $768,811. This amount, at two per cent on average daily balances would net the state $15. 376.22 per annum. It seems to me that business prudence and the public wel fare demand that some change, such as suggested herein, be made in the handling of our state funds. I would also recommend, if these suggestions are enacted into law. that the bond of the state treasurer be reduced to one half its present sum. the bond to be made by some surety company and paid for out of the profits accruing to the state upon the daily balances as suggested in this recommendation. Requiring Accounting of Moneys. I would recommend that the legis lature enact such laws as will forever abolish trading and trafficking in the marketable commodities from the var ious state institutions. At every insti tution, educational or otherwise, where any money is received from any source or where any commodity is sold, it should be sold for cash, and the cash paid at the end of each month to the state treasurer. I think it is due the members of the legislature and the tax payers of the state of Kansas that they know what it costs to run the institu tions of the state. The legislature could then more intelligently make the necessary appropriations. I would also suggest that all public moneys received.,, from any of the sources mentioned at any of the stale institutions, after being paid to the state treasurer, be reapportioned or at once placed on the account of said in stitution, and that it be paid out by the state treasurer on warrants issued by the auditor of state, on vouchers made out and properly approved, the same as required in paying out regular ap propriations. Assessment and Taxation. The subjec t of taxation is one of the most important that will engage your attention. For many years it has been generally conceded that our present tax law is insufficient for present con ditions, crude and inequitable in its operation. Framed thirty-four years ago, when Kansas was a frontier state and all it property visible and easy of assessment, it is now imperfect, and wholly inadequate to meet the changed conditions of society. The expenses of government tend to increase much faster than population, so that the per capita of taxation in this, as in all other states, constantly increases, but the burdens remains where they were placed when the state was new, on real estate and visible per. sonal and raiiroad property. The increase in the use of the cor porate form of business, the vast growth of enterprises of a quasi-public character, holding from the public franchises of great value, have led to a vast increase in intangible personal property which almost wholly escapes taxation. The protection of these and other new forms of wealth, as well as the increasing extension of government into new fields of regulation and con trol, have vastly increased the cost of government, the burden of which these new forms of wealth successfully evade under the present law. In 1873, when the assessment of railroad and personal property was first separated real estate paid 74.47 per cent of the total 'tax, personal property 17.79 per cent, and railroads 7.85 per cent. In 1900 railroad taxation had increased to 17.53 per cent of the total, real estate bore 66.01 per cent, a slight decrease, and personal property, in spite of it's vast increment, had fallen to 16.46 per cent of the total. In that year, with $60,000,000 in our banks, the assessors found but $3,000,000 for taxation, and the total assessment of personal prop erty was but $37,000,000, or $3,000,000 less than our holdings of money alone. As in 1873, the farmer, the small-home owner, the possessor of real estate and the owner of visible personal property, such as the stockman and merchant, pay five-sixths of the tax, and the rail roads pay the rest. Besides this, there are glaring In equalities between the assessment in adjoining counties. and consequent inequalities in the burden of both state and county government. These inequalities and injustices have attracted the attention of our law making power for many years, and many attempts have been made to ad just the law to the new conditions, but the brief time allowed by the session has prevented a comprehensive and satisfactory plan: and so thoroughly has this been proven that the session of 1901 adopted the plan which has been followed with success in most of the northern and western states in recent years, of a state tax commission. The commission consisted of repre sentatives of both houses and certain state officers, and was empowered lo sit in vacation and prepare a new tax law. The attention of the commission was called to the evils above recited, and it was particularly directed to provide for the fuller assessment of personal property. The commission so constituted has expended much time and thought upon a bill and report w-hich will be submit ted to you. It has collected a large amount of information, investigated the laws of other states and their op eration, and its conclusions and the in formation it has obtained will be of value to you in considering this sub ject. Without commenting upon the bill prepared or assuming to pass any opinion upon its merits, I in vite your earnest attention to its features, with the sincere hope that you will not permit the work of the commission to be lost by a failure to act in this matter, and tVint veil! w ill be able, starting with their work, to formulate a law that will bring upon the tax rolls the vast amount of personal property that now escapes, therebv lightening the burden borne by the farmer, the home owner, the mer chant, and all who own real estate and visible personal property. Louisiana Purchasa Centennial Exposition. For the purpose of exhibiting the re sources and showing to the world the industrial, commercial and social prog ress 0f our state, the Louisiana Purchase Centennial Exposition commission of Kansas was created by an act of the last legislature, and directed to assume and exercise all powers necessary to se cure a complete and creditable display of the interests of the state at the in ternational exposition to be held at St. Louis in 1903, and to select a site and erect thereon buildings for such display-. This commission, pressing the fact that Kansas was the first state to make an appropriation, succeeded in securing one of the best sites awarded to any state. The collection of exhibits has begun and plans and specifications for a building are being considered. Such appropriations should be made as will enable Kansas to assume her place of proper eminence at this exposition and to present a display which will be an inducement to investment in and immigration to this portion of the terrK tory covered by the Louisiana purchase. The postponement of the exposition un til 1S04 will necessitate such amend ments to the law as are necessary to meet the changed conditions. Bureau of Labor and Industry. The report of the commissioner of labor is a collection of data with spe cial reference to the industrial interests of the state. Certain legislation is rec ommended concerning labor that I be lieve worthy of your consideration, es peciallv that referring to the prohibition of child labor under the age of fourteen years in factories and workshops, ex cept under certain conditions prescribed by law; also, a just and equitable arbi tration and conciliation law. in order to better protect the industrial interests of the state against the disastrous effects of long-drawn-out strikes, and at the same time guarantee justice and fair ness to employer and employee. National Guard. T recommend a jjust and liberal sup port of the organized militia of the state. It is composed of nearly 1,40 yours men, who give their services to the state without compensation, except during the brief period while in attend ance at the annual encampment. The general government is liberal in supply ing all needed equipment, the expense devolving upon the state being for the maintenance of the organized com panies and batteries. The annual appro priations made by the government to Kansas for equipment amount to $21. 241.82. but it is contingent on the organi zation and support of a sufficient militia. The government has awakened to the r.ecess:tv of a revision of the obsolete national militia laws, and a bill now pending in congress makes still more liberal provisions for the support of the National Guard. If the bill now before ccngrcss becomes a law, it will be nec essary to amend the state militia act to harmonize it with certain provisions Oi the national law. I believe in an organized and efficient militia, and I trust the state of Kansas will co-operate with the national gov ernment in ail efforts toward imsrove ment, and will liberally aid all move ments tending to the development of thr National Guard. State Historical Society. The State Historical society is now provided with satisfactory accommoda tions showing the trials and accomp lishments of our people in creating this splendid commonwealth. No state has had a more insprinis history; and now that the work of the society is in order, it is a source of gratification that liberal support by the legislature has always been accorded, instead of leaving this patriotic service to individual effort. All Kansans should be proud of the society apd its work, and I heartily commend Jt to the legislature for continued con sideration and liberality. A proper cata loguing of the collection has been rea sonably well kept up, and I would sug gest that, upon its completion, a catav logue of the Kansas portion, at least, be published, that it rnav be more available iu me general public Public Printing. -I call your attention to the lavish waste oi the public money in the printing of useless and unnecessary public documents, the law. m many instances, provides for the publishing of reports and documents tar beyond any demand or necessity, and. .result, the storerooms of the capitol building are rapidly filling up with this matter that is worse than useless. I am sure a careful inspection of this accumu lated material will convince any legisla tor of the necessity of reform along this line. The Fish and Game Interests. I recommend that the fish and game in terests of the state be put under one con trol, and that laws be made more strin gent for the preservation of both game e j nidi cut? power oi me war den and his deputies be enlarged, so that they can more effectuallv enforce the law. I also believe that a fish hatcherv should be established, with the view of propagat ing such fish as are adapted to the streams of Kansas. Other states have made this a profitable industry where con ditions are no more favorabie than they are in Kansas. v State Architect I would recommend the enactment of a law authorizing the appointment of a state architect. The legislature of 1901 appropriated $730,250 for new buildings, to say nothing about the repairs that are included in the appropriations for mainte nance and repairs at the different institu tions. The average paid architects bv the various boards is 2Vi per cent of the con tract price. Some are less, but others in clude the expenses of the architect. On $.30,250, 2Vi per cent would be $17,206 paid out during the past two years. I feel that a state architect who has su pervision over the buildings of the state will not only result in a saving to the state but will Induce a uniformity in the buildings, a condition much desired. Election Law. I recommend that the election law pass ed by the last legislature be so amended that no square shall be placed upon the official ballot opposite "No Nomination." The law should as far1 as possible make it easy for the voter to register his wish et the polls. I believe, with this one amend ment, the law will be very satisfactory. Free Employment Bureau. The free employment bureau has been in operation for a period of nineteen months. The report of the director shows that dur ing the existence of the bureau there have heen applications for work and help. 6.687; furnished. 4.9;h. The workings of the bu reau have not been as satisfactory as the legislature anticipated. The law provides that the city clerks of cities of the first and second class shall open and maintain free employment agencies to work in con junction with the bureau. There is no compensation provided for this work and there is no penalty for neglecting to com ply with the law. and. as a result, but few cities have maintained free employment agencies, as contemplated. I believe the law should be so amended that the free employment agencies must be maintained permanently, as contemplated in the pres ent law. Congressional Reapportionment. Kansas has eight members in the na tional congress and the state is divided in to seven congressional districts, necessitat ing the election of one member at larg?. I recommend the redisricting of the state and the formation of eight districts, as is contemplated by law. The congressman-at-large. while he has the same rights up on the floor and in the committee room as the member who has a district, is practi cally denied other prerogatives of a mem ber. Kach congressional district is entitled to certain recognition, certain patronage. Kansas practically loses one-eighth of what she is entitled to under the present apportionment. The fact that a district has no.ooo or 70.000 more population than it is entitled to does not entitle the people of the district to any more recognition than they would have if they had the number contemplated by law. F earnestly hope that this legislature will reapportion the state and follow the example set by other states. Oil Inspection. The report of the state oil inspector shows a net profit to the state from this department of $14,000. His recommendation that the present law be so amended that the consumer can be protected against poor grades of oil, as well as the danger."! of explosion, seems to me to be just, and I recommend this matter to your consid eration. State House. The last appropriation made for the com pletion of the state house was sufficient for the purpose, and it is gratifying to know that we have a capitol building which is a source of just pride and for which no further expenditure is now need ed, save for its proper maintenance. State Accountant. I believe that a competent state account ant can render valuable service to the state in systematizing the vast business of the state. I recommend an appropria tion to maintain this office, as contem plated by the law of 1S95. Revision of Insurance Laws. The insurance laws of the state should be revised and corrected. While the laws have been added to from time to time, there has been an absence of positive cor rections and repealing acts, and we are left in doubt as to the implied repealing force. As a result the insurance depart ment is in possession of a compilation of laws in which there are contradictions ancl inconsistencies. This is unfortunate, both to the insurance companies and the peo ple, and it is certainly annoying to th superintendent, who, .under the law. is charged wih "execution of all laws now in force, or which shall hereafter be pass ed, in relation to insurance and insurance companies doing business in the state." Estimates. The law provides that the state auditor j shall embody in his official report esti- mates of the expenditures to be made during the next two official years. In com- pliance with this law the auditor has com- piled these estimates, and they will be sub- i mitted to you for your guidance and m- formation. Conclusion. j To be called upon to legislate for a great j state like Kansas is a responsibility that I know you fully realize and that you will bring to' the work your best thought and effort. The natural pride every citizen j has ill his state suggests at once that the institutions of the state should be main- i tained noon a plane commensurate with the dignity and growth' of the state. This Is commendable: but there is another in- terest that should be sacred to every one charged with responsibility, and that 's the duty we ewe to the burden bearers, the peoole who pay the taxes. The peo ple will" justify a generous support of all the great interests of our state, but thev condemn any profligate waste of public mone;'. Hoping your associations may be pleas ant and your work harmonious, I pledge vou mv 'hearty co-operation in carrying out your wishes and in giving Kansas tne best administration possible.

TOPEKLA STATE JOURNAL TUESDAY EVENING." JANUARY 13, 1903. Indigestion Causes Catarrh of the Stomach. For many years it has been supposed that Catarrh of the Stomach caused indigestion dyspepsia, but the truth is exactly the opposite. Indigestion causes catarrh. Re peated attacks of indigestion inflames the mucous membranes lining the stomach and exposes the nerves of the stomach, thus caus ing the glands to secrete mucin instead of the juices of natural digestion. This is called Catarrh of the Stomach. n 1 rT ?f fl'1?' relieves ail inflammation of the mucous membranes lining the stomach, protects the nerves, and cures bad breath, sour risings, a ense of fullness after eating, indigestion, dyspepsia and ail stomach troubles.

He is editor of the Ness City News, but he says he does not travel enough to pay him to advertise the railroads in payment for transportation. Furthermore, Mr. Barnd savs he doesn't care whether he is on the win ning or losing: side of a proposition, and although a Republican he doesn't want to go into a caucus and doesn't care for a place on any committee. He has no bills which he wishes to push through, and so doesn't need to make any trades.

T lifTlli SlOm 1 jRlilCUKiUlli r KU-- He Found Extended Hands on Erery Side. Representative Barnd Who Came to Topeka In Cog." One advantage we have over Latin countries is that we can pull oft an in augural followed by a reception without having some wild-eyed native rise up I and take a shot .or two at the star j actor. Just the other day they tried to I spring a little political ovation in Spain, and someone immediately got up on his j feet and had to be sauelcbed by the police. In this country when the people j want to assassinate an official they use neither razor nor six-shooter a news i paper will answer the purpose, and is a much neater method. In Topeka a successful inaugural can be brought to pass with no protection but the City Troop. It is a safe bet that not one our of ten of the representatives carry a gun, which is a great improvement on i the good old days when Jefferson and i Henry Clay dabbled in politics. Yes. Willis Bailey was inaugurated all right, and no one was stabbed or shot. It was really touching to see the glad ness on exhibit at the Copeland last evening: after the caucus. There was gladness fried, poached and scrambled. Mr. Prinsle has just begun to realize how popular he really is. When he re turned to the "busy marts of trade" the gladsome hand was awaiting him. i SPEAKER PRINGLK FINDS HE IS A VJRY POPULAR MAN. When both hands were busy people stood around and shook their own hands. At the same time many of them shook a few accuaintances with whom they had been thick as thieves, and i transferred their baggage to the Prinsle j c ?ui'e. The numerous superintendents j of ventilation, desiccation. hesitation. 1 resin-citation, investigation, recreation and transmogrification and the 'steen janitors and other supes also shook hands with themselves and others. It was truly a touching scene. At noon today the curtain raised on the real thing. Temporary officers were put -up and bid on. Gaunt old-timers rose in their seats and bawled out their nominations in stentorian tones. You know, or should know, that the stento rian brand is the only kind of tones Md in representative hall. If a mem ber hasn't a stentorian tone of his own, he had better borrow one and be pre pared Some of the new members didn't snow this. so they had to remain in -i quietude.-. But they will recover There is one member who came not wilh the blare of trumpets or the glad some shout of the multitude. He came incog, and disguise. It was J. K. Barnd. of Ness county. He has lived and a! mcst died at Ness City for twenty long years, and this is his second visit to Tov eka. His first was fifteen years ago, and it is safe to carr.ble that he had business in the burg at that particular date. In ye olden days Mr. Barnd was an actor, not a barnstormer, but one of rr'tine, who "trod the hoards" with I ,-uis James, Nat Goodwin and Robert lovr.inyr. and his last session behina ths- footlights was with Mary Anderson. It is popfibi.?, nay, probable, that Mr. l'anid is the only member of the house who ever traveled as an actor. One of Mr. Barnd's chief marks of j cc onti icity is that he paid his railroad fare to Topeka, notwithstanding the fact that be is both a member of the legisla ture and a newspaper publisher, both of VALUE OF TESTIMONY Greater Than Assertion. There is none of us fo hardened but that when we have been able to aid our fellow creatures by conferring a benefit, or bringing a little comfort into their lives we like to have appreciation shown. This generally affords more pleasure than the performance of the i act itself, and in this connection the following letter from a Texas lady is of more than usual interest: "Dear Friends: I address you as I such, for you have been such to me. I suf:" "red for three years off and on with o:rs. I was treated at the hospital, and the new and elegant hospital of Memphis: they only gave me temporary i f liof. I came west thinking the change of air and water would benefit me; five months ago the bleeding piles came bark on me. and bled so much that I thought 1 would die. "1 h'-ive had four of the finest doctors in this section of Texas: all they did was to finally nearly let me go to my aravt: all they' wanted was a big sum i ef money from me and to operate on i mo. i said no, no surgeon's knife would j enter me: if it was my time to die God j know it. and when I died I would die I all together. j "I began hearing about your medicine, i I h.id no faith in you, but I sent and got i a box of your Pyramid Pile Cure; in: two days the blood ilew had slackened 1 to one-half the amount, and in one week I I f'-U so nruh better I walked four' blocks rsr.u did a little housework. 1 1 I was not bleeding then: in three weeks I was well.

He did not want any senatorial line riders to get a line on him, pull him to some senatorial headquarters and shake his arm off. He didn't want to be dragged off into a corner and his ear blown full of tobacco smoke when somebody asked him in great secrecy how crops are out in Ness county. Therefore he came to Topeka incognito and started in to mix with the Copeland county crowd to hear what he might, simply as one of the common herd. It was not long, though, till he met an acquaintance. "Hello, Barnd, how are you?" said the other man. "You must have made a mistake," said Mr. Barnd. 'T am J. W. Knox of Rooks county." No, you surely must be Barnd. Any way you look just like him," said other man. tne i Barnd insisted that he wasn't Barnd, and the other man finally gave in, al though still incredulous. Although Mr. Barnd has not "lined up" for any candidates, he was for Pringle for speaker and will vote for Calderhead for -senator as his first choice. Mr. Barnd also made a peculiar cam paign. He tried to draw all the fire of the Populists to himself and away from the other candidates on the Republican ticket. He told the voters that he didn't care whether they voted for him or not, but it was a winning campaign and he was easily elected. HEW STORAGE PLftflT. The Mutual Ice Company Is Branching Out. The annual meeting of the stockhold ers of the Mutual Ice company of To peka, was held yesterday in the Audi torium. It was decided to increase the capital stock from $25,000 to $50,000, for the purpose of securing funds to erect a cold storage warehouse. The building will be of three stories and will have a capacity of 30.000 barrels of apples. The report of the treasurer showed the receipts ot tne company from ail sources j to imse utfii j'jt.a.iD uurmg tne year. The expenditures have been less than this sum. The amount received from the sale of ice was $17,656.26. and the amount expended on labor was $12, r17.15. The additional expenses have been in the construction and equipment of the ice factory. Mr. Troup, the president and manager of the company, says: "We are grati fied over the business we did during our first year. We have six hundred differ ent stockholders and 2,500 customers. In one year we have saved the people of Topeka $30,000 for their ice. We re duced the price 33 1-3 per cent and com pelled our competitors to charge at least that much less than the prices for the year previous. Our new warehouse will be built at the corner of First and Quincy where we have ample ground. We vere able from last year's receipts to refund to our stockholders over $2,000 from the surplus revenue. At our meet ing last night 911 shares were represent ed and they were voted unanimously." The following board of directors was chosen for the ensuing year: A. Troup, W. M. Forbes. J. B. Billard, W. B. Robey. W. S. Bergundthal, O. J. Wood, Ij. A. Stebbins, N. J. Dalton. E. L.

A large and constantly increasing majority of the American people are catarrh sufferers. This is not entirely the result of our changeable climate, but because modern investigation has clear ly proven that many diseases, known by other names, are really catarrh. For merly the name catarrh was applied al most exclusively to the common nasal catarrh, but the throat, stomach, liver, bladder, kidneys and intestines are sub ject to catarrhal diseases as well as the nasal passages. In fact, wherever there is mucous membrane there is a feeding ground for catarrh. The usual remedies, inhalers, sprays, douches or powders, have been prac tically failures, as far as anything more than temporary relief was concerned, because they simply dry up the mucous secretions, without having the remotest effect upon the blood and liver, which are the real sources of catarrhal dis eases. It has been known for some years that the radical cure of catarrh could never come from local acnlications, but from an internal remedy, acting on the blood and expelling the catarrhal poison from the system. A new internal preparation which has been on the market only a short time, has met with remarkable success as a genuine radical cure for catarrh. It may be touna m any drug store, old under the name of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, large pleasant tasting lozenges, composed principally of antiseptic in gredients. Blood root. Red gum and sim ilar catarrh specifics. Dr. Ainslee in speaking of the new catarrh cure says: "I have tried the new catarrh remedy. Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, upon thirty or forty patients with remarkably satisfactory results. They clear the head and throat more effectively and lastingly than any douche or inhaler that I have ever seen, and although they are what is called a patent medicine and sold by druggists. I do not hesitate to recommend them as I know them to be free from cocaine and opiates, and that even a little child may use them with entire safety." Any sufferer from nasal catarrh. throat or bronchial trouble, catarrh of the stomach, liver or bladder will find Stuart's Catarrh Tablets remarkably effective, pleasant and convenient, and your druggist will tell you they are ab solutely free from any injurious drusr.

A strike of team sters whose demands made several daya ago for higher wages and a readjust ment cf hours have not yet been satis fied, is threatened. If the strike be comes as general as it is predicted, it will, in case the demands are still un satisfied by next Friday, between 5,000 and 6,000 men will be affected, this num ber including frieght handlers, depart ment and retail store delivery wagon drivers, ice handlers, coal and lumber wagon drivers. A strike that would af fect the drivers of coal wagons at this time, when a colrl wave prevails, would entail much suffering. Fire at George Gould's New Tork, Jan. 13.

Jan. 13. The wholesale price of anthracite has been advanced $3 at one jump. The increase makes the pres ent wholesale price $11.50 a ton. Dealers could give no particular reason for the raise in price, further than the "condi tion of the market." They declare the supply of hard coal Is still small and that there is little prospect of more for some time. Fall on lee Killed Him. Dayton. O.. Jan. 13. William P.

Mayor Bow and representatives of the coal carrying roads held a conference today to discuss the coal situation of Greater New York. The railroad presidents present were i George F. Baer of the Reading, Under- I wood of the Erie. Fowler, Ontario Western, and Thomas of the Behigh, Valley. John B. Markle represented the independents. President Baer read a statement describing the position of the coal rotids. He maintained that the roads were doing all possible to relieve the situation. The situation was fuil of difficulties and the failure of miners to work during the holidays had reduced the output and prices had been unduly advanced by the smaller companies and individual operators. AH SITUATION PLAN. German Keichstag to Consider Bill for Mercantile Court. Berlin. Jan. 1". The reiohstag re sumed today. The government present ed the budget and the auditor's state ment of the treasury accounts. Various resolutions respecting the customs ad ministration were offered. Baron Her renshein reported upon the conclusion arrived at by the committee appointed to inquire into the steps to be taken to encourage tobacco culture in Germany, in view of the fact that the new traiff bill does not provide for increased du ties on tobacco. The committee advo- cated a revision of international legisla- tion in the interest of the peasant grow j The session will be almost exclusively occupied with the discussion of the budget. The government will introduce j two new measures, one for the. protec tion c,: child labor and another for or ganizing mercantile courts for arbitra tion between employers and employes. NOT YET ADJl STEI). School Bond Proposition Is Still Unsettled. The board of education met last night in hopes of finishing the controversy re- j i '.nn.t; tile w ihhh uuuu niuifwiuuil. oul as there was not a majority the meeting was a failure and it took some very ex pert juggling of the parliamentary rules to keep the minority of three from de feating the seven. Ten members were present and seven were in favor of submitting the Drooo sition or bonds for a manual training high school and several ward schools together, while three members wished the propositions to be separate. To carry the combination plan a vote of eiy:ht of the twelve members was need ed, and the "ferninsts" were two short of defeating the plan, and the members who favored it were short one vote. The seven starred over the parliamen tary rul s for some time and finally forced an adjournment till Wednesday afternoon, when an effort will be made to have eight votes present for the com bined proposition. IS IT TRI E Hock Island Said to Bo Buying the Santa Fe. New York, Jan. 13. It was rumored that a railroad deal of vast importance is pending between the Atchison system and the recently reorganized Rock j Island company, by which the latter j will speedily announce its control of the Atchison. It is said the dominant inter- ests in both companies have decided to pool their interests, and that, by an interchange of securities, a harmony of interest between the two great compet ing properties will be established. AT THE PLAY LAST NIGHT. Mr. and Mrs. Herbert L. Flint, the successful hypnotists who have been favorite entertainers in the west for many years, opened a week's engage ment at the Crawford last night. This is the first time the Flints have been in Topeka for three years, but their exhibitions have not changed to any great extent. The show consists of hypnotizing subjects chosen from the audience, and putting them through somw funny maneuvers to the great de light of the spectators. Some partic ularly good subjects w-ere secured last night. Some better ones remained concealed in the atidience. On of the funniest features of the evening was a trotting ra.ee. participat ed in by seven or eight young men un der the influence of Mrs. Flint. Chairs did duty for sulkies, and the horse and the rest of the outfit existed only in the overcharged minds of the victims. One of the subjects, who was given a place next the rail, exhibited symptoms of having been a "jock." While the others drove awkwardly and said "gidlap there." he carefully w-raon-d the imaginary lines around his hands and tucked bis horse's tail under tn-i scat. Then he jockeyed for position, and half way around bawled out. "Say, how many places do you fellers want They were crowding him into the rail, and he didn't like it. Then he picked up his whip, hit the visionary horse a (dip and left them far behind. They had been awakened by Mrs. Flint and their chairs moved back. The winner looked around and saw that he hud left them in his wake. Then he yelled, "Come on. bring on your billy goats. Whoopee! The house was crowded, and stand ing room was sold on the first floor to people who had seen the Flints in their fun making stunts before. Tonight a subject will be thoroughly hypnotized and placed in the show window of a dry goods store, and re main in a deep sleep until the next night, twenty-four hours. Missionaries Got Away. London. Jan. 13. The latest advices received here from Fez say that with the exception of the members of the staff of General Sir Harry McLean, commander of the sultan's body guard, the British residents, fheluding the wo men missionaries, left January S and have since arrived at the coast. Sugar Goes Up. New York. Jan. 13. All grades of re fined sugar were advanced 10 points today. Republican Members of Senate Make Selections. W. S. Fitzpatrick Is President Pro Tern. SHELDON IS SECRETARY Easily Defeats Tom Cordry for the Place. J. E. Neighbor, of Ness, Is Ser geant at Arms. A caucus is an institution established so that the grave dignity of a legisla tive body can be dumped into the cor ner and the members can act busy without worrying about the looks of things. This facilitates the transaction of business when there is patronage to be divided and an ability to act ctulckly, if not with dignity, is important when there is a constituency to be looked after. Below is a list of the persons se lected by the Republican members of the state senate in caucus assembled SENATOR W. S. FITZPATRICK, President Pro Tern of the Senate. Monday afternoon to fill the jobs set apart for the requirements of the bodj' All the persons named are eminently qualified for the positions awarded. It took the senate three hours and a half to make the selections, but the desira bility of each candidate was freely at tested to by the member presenting his name. I Contrary to common anticipation there wasn't any fight over the election of Senator W. S. Fitznatriek as president pro tern. Senator J. C. Morrow had been a candidate for the place. Morrow was president of the senate twro years ago. His friends wanted to give him the place again, and Cyrus Leland sup ported him. It looked as though a clash was due when the election came, bin. Morrow averted it by withdrawing, and in a neat speech proposing that the elec tion of his opponent be made by accla mation. When the caucus met at 3 o'clock Senator Allen cf Doniphan and Senator Chaney of Shawnee were made chair man and secretary. Whenever the caucus was disposed to monkey, Sena tor Allen cracked his whip and told it to hurry up. As it was it took a long time to distribute jobs. Bj' common consent the places of sergeant-at-arms, secre tary, stenographer, chaplain, reading clerk and clerk of the calendar revision committee were not to be charged up to anybody's patronage. For the place of secretary Charles M. Sheldon of Kan sas City was nominated bv Senator Cubbison, and Tom Cordry of Hutch- j mson by Senator Vincent. The ballot ing on these two names stood as fol lows: Sheldon Allen, Hurre!, Wulfekuhler, Cubbison, Sponable, Crura. Porter, Con rad. Stewart. Miller. Chaney, Fulton, McKnight, Morehouse. Leidy, Fitzpat rick. Tapp. Branine, Pestana, i indlay. Smith, Buschow and Peterson. To tal. 23. Cordry Carpenter. Kennedy, Morrow, Henley, Simons, Ward, White, Vincent and Noftzger. Total, 9. The Rev. B. B. Parker of Belleville, who was elected chaplain, was proposed by Senator Ward of Republic county. Senator Ward asked as a personal fa vor that he be named. Rev. Parker had been of service to the Ward family dur ing the illness and death of Senator Ward's son last fall. There was no op posing candidate. Colonel Tom J. Jackson of Newton was elected document clerk. The other two candidates were Colonel W. H. Avery of ElDorado and Captain Ed Baxter of Marion. Jackson received a plurality on the first ballot and was given the election by acclamation. He is the father of Cooper Jackson, city editor of the Topeka Capital, and has been well known about the legislature for years. He served at one time in the house. This finished the better positions over which there were contests, and the hurry after the small jobs commenced. Senator Chaney of Topeka, who acted as secretary was handicapped, but he succeeded in placing a g-ood proportion of his constituency. It took consider able pulling and hauling to secure an equitable division of spoils, but things were pretty evenly distributed. Senators Tapp. Smith and Beidy were named as a conference committee to meet with a committee from the house to decide on the state printer and sena torial caucuses. Senators Kennedy, Noftzger and Carpenter were nuamed as a committee to examine candidates for stenographer of the senate. OFFICERS AND PATRONAGE OF THE SENATE. President pro tem Senator W. S.

The inauguration ceremonies of the i state officers paled into insignificance compared with the ceremonies attending i the installation of the new county offl- j trio, uiai la ill ol innt. 4 1 j only about an hour to swear in the state officers, sound the fanfare and have the services over, but the county officers began at S o'clock Monday morning and things were doing at the court house until noon. The corridors were thronged with ne gro politicians and others who wished to congratulate the new county officials and also wished to get a chance at the box of cigars in each of the offices where a new incumbent was to begin drawing pay at noon. The mecca of the smokers was the county clerk's office where Albert New man succeeded John Wright as county clerk and where a large box of large cigars was standing open on the table w ith plenty of matches within reach. Newman appeared at the office this morning before the door was unlocked. His hair was parted in the middle and he had his nose glasses with him to wear in case he did not at once assume the air of a clerk. He put a pen behind his ear and began work. Some time ago he was sworn in by I. S. Curtis, clerk of the district court, and early in the morning Newman, returped the compli ment by sweaTing hr Curtis and then at 12 o'clock began to draw pay. Newman's bond as county clerk is in the sum of $2, 000 end his bondsmen are M. Snattinger and D. J. Greenwald. John Wrisht, who retired as county cleric after a service of five years in that capacity, became deputy county clerk, the position he held for six years before he became county, clerk. In October he will become assistant county treasurer under F. C. Bow en and Will Van Ors dale of Silver Lake will become deputy county clerk. Henry Monroe, colored, will take the place of second assistant in February. Oscar Swayze retired Saturday night as deputy county clerk. A. T. Lucas succeeded Porter S. Cook as sheriff. Lucas was under sheriff with R. B. Kepley for two years and knows how to perform the duties of sheriff. Lucas' bond is for $10.w and is given by a surety company. His deputies will be G. W. Betts, known as 'Paddy" Betts, under sheriff, John Ostrand. of fice deputy; Carl Lawson, who has been jailer under Cook for five years, will continue in that capacity: assistant jailer. George Charles, and turnkey, J. Patterson. Galen Nichols keeDS on the even tenor cf his way as county attorney for another two years, and the fact that he closed one term and began another at noon did not cause a slip on the cog of the legal machinery, for the cogs in the county attorney's office are well oiled and they know what and what not to do without being told. Nichols' bond is for $2,500. and is signed by R. Nichols and J. F. Nichols. The deputies will be Capt. J. R. McNary and W. I. Jamison, as before, and the stenographer M. P. La ycock. John Marshall will continue as band master, but this will not hinder his serv ing the county as register of deeds. He filed his bond for $2,500, signed by D. W. Dibble and P. Smidt. His office clerk will be Miss Dora Clark, who has been in the office tinder Frank Stevens, who retired after five years' service and will begin today as a juryman in the dis trict court. I. S. Curtis, who has been deputy in the office of the clerk of the district court for a dozen years, and who was appointed to succeed Dr. A. M. Calla. ham. who died, assumed the office as an elected incumbent. His assistants will be the same as heretofore, MiS3 Tillotson and Miss Zora West. W. E. Fagan began his second term as probate judge. He has assumed more of the dignity that goes with the bench and woolsack than he had when he began, and he bears the title of "jedge" very nicely. He will have the same assistants. Capt. W. F. Orner and Miss Mary Roth. Coroner Horeboom began his second term with a larre supply of beer et al. on hand which Sheriff Cook seized from Fritz Durein and which was replev ined and placed in the charge of the coroner, who by law looks nfter the dead and the litigated liquor. He would have been more popular, perhaps, than the officials with cigars if he had tapped the wet goods, but he did not. County Surveyor Rodgers went right on with the same assistant. Walter Crawford, and they are ready to run beads, lines, and chase squirrels in the woods as before. The honorable and august board of county commissioners reorganized. is. H. Haines began his second term and he retired as chairman. The pie has to be handed around. The three members then balloted for chairman, much after the same manner as a United States senator is elected. It was all fixed be forehand. Silas Rain received two votes and Haines one. Rain voted for Haines and Haines voted for Rain, and Frank Harrison put a "Rain" ballot in the hat. If he hadn't Rain would have been mad. Fairbanks Selected by Caucus. Tndianapolis. Ind.. Jan. 13. Chas. W. Fairbanks was selected as the candidate of the ReimbHcan members of the gen eral assembly for re-election to the United States senate at the joint caucus held last night in the house cf representatives. 110 RELIEF!!! SIGHT Coal Situation Grows More Alarming Every Day. No Fuel Can Be Had for Imme diate Delirery. POOR ARE SUFFERING. 3Ir. Hale Can Not Secure Fuel for the County. Jail and Court House Are Run ning Short. Gas Plant and Other Factories Have No Fuel Ahead. Day by day the fuel situation in To peka becomes more alarming. Ten cars of coal were brought to To peka last night from Osage county by hte. Santa Fe. Usually the coal train brings in 25 to 30 cars. W. C. Garvey said today that the Santa Fe is furnishing the operators in Osage county with all the cars that could be used, and that the scarcity of coal was not caused by a shortage of cars. It is hoped that an extra train of coal will be brought in today. The gas company has no supply of coal on hand, and the situation with them is serious. The company expects and hopes to secure coal enough from day to day to keep running, but it is impossible for them to get any large amount of coal. The poor of Topeka are suffering. Poor Commissioner Hale is unable to secure any coal for the destitute. The dealers can not even fill the orders given by him. and if the mercury goes down there will be terrible sufferins among the ooor. Some dealers that have coal are dis criminating in favor of their regular customers, and the man who finds his regular dealer out of coal is often re fused ioint blank by other dealers. J. S. Everett made a tour of the coal yards in Topeka today trying to buy coal. He had a wagon with him and he went to six dealers and was refused, lie could not secure any amount of coal and haul it himself. He asked for even $1 worth of coal at six yards before he secured three bushels of coal for $1. Not a pound of coal was brought by the Union Pacific to Topeka from the Leavenworth mines yesterday or last night. The agent of the mines in To peka could dispose of 100 cars of Leav enworth coal if he could get it. The Topeka Coal company has not taken an order for coal since 10 o'clock Monday morning. The Southwestern Fuel company took orders this mornirg and promised to make deliveries of small lots on Friday or Sa turds y. The coul bins that were empty Mon day in the dealers' yards are empty to day. The Excelsior Coke Gas company is three weeks behind in filling orders for coke. i The hotels are short of coal. Hankla Brothers of the Fifth Avenue hotel, said today that they had only coal enough to heat the hotel for a few days. The Throop hotel is short of fuel and unable to get more coal for the boilers. The Columbian building is being heat ed by anthracite coal which was bought for the boilers because soft coal could not be had. The steam laundries are short of coal and are depending on their dealers to supply them but if the dealers do not soon find coal laundries will have to shut down. The Capital City brick plant was shut down a few days ago for repairs but Willis Edson said today that if the repairs were completed the kilns could not be run as no coal can be secured. The county jail and court house may be cold. There is but a wagon load of coal at each place and the county com missioners have been unable to secure more. The Mutual Ice company has only coal enough to supply the plant for a day or two. P. J. Monaghan of the Southwestern Fuel company said today: "We have coal but are not able to keep up with the orders. I believe that the situation will be relieved very soon, however." CONFER IN ST. LOL IS. Officials and Employes to Discuss That 20 Per Cent Raise. St. Louis. Mo., Jan. 13. A "conference with reference to the demand of train men for higher pay is being held in the general offices of the Frisco rail road between the officials of the West ern, Southwestern and Southern trunk lines having headquarters and the rep resentatives and committees of the Or der of Railway Conductors and the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen.

Bat tha Nertry Automobilist la Van quished by Dust. Jersey mud, in masses, has no terror for Harry Lehr, leader of gentians and favored squire of Newport's aristocratic dances. It is only a thing- to be laugh ed at, but one little particle of Phila delphia dust was sufficient to reduce him to a condition where he forgot eonventionalties and failed to maintain his reputation as a thoroughly well dressed man of fashion. He arrived in this city in company with John Jacob Astor. in Mr. Astor's automobile, after a trip from New York which called for the fortitude and en durance of the passengers as well as the skill of the chauffeur. When the automobile stopped in front of the Bellevue its occupants were so encased in mud that they were hardly recognizable. Both were Jolly. They laughed over and made light of the difficulties of the trip, which, according to their ac counts, were many and of the most trying kind. The abysmal depths of the Jersey mud were almost bottomless, and soon after leaving Jersey City all thoug-hta of record-making- were abandoned. Ev ery energy was concentrated on the one task of getting through in any old kind of time. The big maehine floundered and ploughed its way through the soft roads, sending- a steady shower of mud over the occupants, until they looked like sculptors' clay models not yet dried out. And still they laughed and joked. The heroism of Mr. Lehr was turned to grrief. however, soon after his ar rival. He had removed the crust of Jersey real estate and had already be- gun to aon nis eictmnsr wnen a stray i parueie or rnuaaeipnia oust came floating in through the open window and found lodgment in Sir. Lehr's left i eye. I Then he knew what real trouble was. j It was not time to play the hero. Con i ventionality was- thrown aside, appear ances w-ere for the time foreretten. He rushed through the remainder cf his toilet in a manner which would have caused his valet to faint had he been there to see. So great was his speed that in little more than an hour he made his appearance in the office in a disor dered condition, which bore eddence of the agony of body and distraction of j mind from which he was suffering. The collar of bis swallow tailed coat was turned up about bis ears: the jew eled buttons of bis white satin vest had not. been fastened and that immaculate garment flared open, exposing a greater expanse of shirt front than is usual at that hour the evening: his mack turned up hail way to trousers were nis knees. d:splaymg his symmetrical legs, which have been so often admired when he has been giving female imper sonations. The legs were clad in sky blue siik stockings. He had not. taken the time to don the regular evening shoes, and his feet were encased in a dainty pair of low-cut patent-leather slip pers, each ornamented whh a black satin rosette, coquettishly perched between the instep and the toe. He was a sad but beautiful sight as be rushed through the office, a dainty cam bric handkerchief held to an aching eye. and into the telephone booth. He called up a friend, a weii known clubman, of the city, and in plaintive accents was heard to av; "Dear, I have met with a most distress ing accident. A bit of dust has got into mv cptic and has destroyed all the pleas ure ni" the evening. Do. dear, tell me quick ly of a worthy physician to whom I may :o for relief." Evidently he received an address, for few minutes later a cab was called: the sufferer left the hotel and aho'tt half an hour later returned, apparently relieved of suffering." Philadelphia Press.

FIItST COME FIKST SERVED That Is the Plan of Disposing of Kan sas Day Banquet Tickets. Captain Clad Hamilton, secretary of the Kansas Day club, is receiving a great many applications for tickets to the annual banquet of the club to be held in Security hall January 29. The number of tickets is limited to 250, the capacity of the hall, and as it is a case of first come, first served, it looks as though the tickets will all be gone some time before the banquet. No invitation is necessary. Any Re publican with the necessary price can secure a ticket if he puts in his appli cation before they are all gone. No more than three tickets will be sold to one person, and the name of the person the ticket is intended for Is written across the face. This is to prevent speculation. Last year tickets were at a premium when the banquet was held in representative hall and there were 600 admissions. Captain Hamilton is sending out to the press of the state the following notice: "Some slight notice of our dinner would be appreciated. It is a Kansas birthday celebration. We do not try to make money. The tickets are as near actual cost as possible. Invitations are sent to our known friends, but any Re publican 'with the price' is eligible to attend. A special and persistent effort is being made by all the officers of the club to give the guests a thoroughly good dinner. This is to be a feature and the secretary is willing to stake the president's reputation upon its success. Our space is limited, and the rule of first issuing tickets to those who first send in their money will be rigidly adhered to. 'First come first served.' It will not be safe to wait. Tickets, $3.00."

The complaint alleged that r.t the time the mme was sampled preparatory to c onsidering the sale which had been ne gotiated through the Venture corpora tion of London, the samples were "salted," so that the amount of ore esti mated on those samples was valued at $7,000,000, when in reality the ore in sight was worth only $2,000,000 or less. It is alleged that the sacks of samples were opened and quietly but thoroughly sprinkied with rich, ground silvanite. The Venture corporation will also bring a similar suit, claiming that its expert. C. A. Packard, was deceived by the salt ed ore, and the individual stockholder will bring actions for the return of theit money, alleging that they were indueea to purchase stock at $5, ?10 and $n which in reality was not worth such prices.

Kansas Farmers Need "Dual Purpose" Cattle. Not Enough Big Cattle Barns in the State. A strong plea for a legislative appro priation for a state fair was made to the annual convention of the Kansas Improved Stock Breeders' association which is in session at the council cham ber of the city hall, by President E. Harrington, of Baker, Kan. The address was delivered Monday afternoon, and was warmly received by the members of the association. E. HARRINGTON, President of Kansas Improved Stock Breeders' Association. There is a large attendance of stock men from all parts of the state of Kan sas. President Harrington stated in his address that the Improved Stockbreed ers' association now has a membership of 550, having grown to that number from a charter membership of 32. The object of the association is to en courage the breeding of tine stock in Kansas, especially cattle for beef. It tries to make the business of cattle breeding thoroughly honest and square, and to weed out all improper methods. President Harrington said in his ad dress: "If any of you know of a disreputable or dishonest breeder among us, report his name and case to me. and if I find upon investigation that the charges are true, 1 will recommend his expulsion from the association." In soeaking of the need which Kan Fas has for a state fair, Mr. Harrington said in part: "At our last annual meeting there was a growing sentiment in favor of a stare fair, but nothing was accomplished. During the summer and early fall, a few of our members at Topeka resolved to have a stock exhibition. Tt was he 1 at Topeka and the show was all its most sanguine friends could hope for. It was a sre nd exhibition of fine stock. The Shorthorn was there in all his giory. but the Hereford breeders did not sulk in their tents, lhey were there to com pete and contest every inch of ground. The Shorthorn and the Her'n'-d were not alone, for the Bonny Piacks were there, and as they were brought into the ring with their hair all curled, thev looked so tdeek and fat. that I could not help but say that was only a ques tion of time wdien the Shorthorn and the Hereford will have to improve or be distanced in the race. "Yes, the horse and cattle show was truly gi and. But never in the history of the state was there such a i-ftherins of swine on exhibition. As a stock show it was a grand success and the thanks of this association are due to the men i who managed it members of this as j sociation. i "I want to call your attention to the j fact that in 1&04 th"re is to be the I greatest stock exhibition at St. Louis, that the world has ever seen, and per haps evev will see. in your time and mine. We ail want to be the' re and we want Kansas to be there with the best stock on the grounds. We must pre pare for it, for it will be- a battle roval i and we must begin to get ready now. As a preparation for that show we want a state fair in Kansas this year thrt will surpass anything- that we have yet had. That it may be a per fect success we want the grand fvtate of Kansas to be behind it. I therefore I ra-ninmerd that this association no j point a committee to wait upon the governor and ask him to us" his 'in fluence with the legislature to secure an j appropriation for the state fair to be j held this fall. I would further reconi-imi"-(l that this committee wait upon 1 the different members of th legisl-iture a-d seenve th'M imnort t-och armropriation. They are your repre R'rt1t!ves.

Murh of the hred is in the Tnnuh t"d stock for i-.r.oino- pnr- jcoses needs to be fed differently from r W3 r fs that intended for the block. Especial ly is this true of swdne. Farmers are learning this and they will come to the state fair and there select the animals best suited for their wants and have them shipped when they are wanted for use. They can select them from a breeder in their own state and perhaps in their own county and can get just what is needed. The breeder can study the warts of the farmer and both will be benefited, and in due time Kansas will b'-come the greatest stock breed ing state of the union." LAST NIGHT'S SESSION. The session of the stock breeders' con vention last night in the council cham ber was devoted largely to the dairy in terests of the state of Kansas. The stock breeders were urged by the dairymen present to encourage the breeding of "dual-purpose" stock in Kansas; stock which will not only be good beef animals, but which will pro duce sood milk for creameries. One oi the speakers said that Kansas is also in need of barns big barns such as they have back in New England in which thirty or forty head of cattle can find warm quarters during the cold weather. W. E. Jensen, general man ager of the Continental Creamery com pany of Topeka, said: "There is a great need in Kansas to day for barns. So many farmers have no shelter of any kind and it means an enormous loss whenever we have snow storms or severe weather. The farmer who handles twenty or thirty cows can save enough in mik production in two years to nay for a barn that will sheltei that number of cows." The papers last night were read by T. A. Borman, secretary of the Kansas State Dairy association: W. W. Marple, president of the Missouri State Dairy association: W. F. Jensen, manager of the Continental Creamery, and E. H. Webster, professor of dairy husbandry, Kansas State Agricultural college. Mr. Borman, in speaking of the breed ing of dual-purpose cattle said in part. FAVORS DUAL-PURPOSE CATTLE. "The progress of things in a dairy way in this state is retarded, I think, by the attitude which the farmer as sumes with reference to dairy bred stock. Profesional dairymen in dairy papers, in lectures before farmers' meet ings and in their visits to neighbors, incessantly urse the necessity of intro ducing into the farmer's herd what they term dairy blood by the use of Holstein and Jersey bulls. The average farmer, in the slang of the day, refuses to 'stand for this.' The farmer feels that the black and white, or yellow, cat hammed and pot-bellied calves would not only bring disgrace upon his herd but would cause the steer buyer on his annual visit through the country to drive by without giving the farmer witn the dairy bred calves even a formal call. I cannot but feel that the persistency with which the use of special purpose dairy bred bulls is urged upon the Kan sas farmer in a very great measure re tards the progress of the dairy inter ests in the state and so because of the quality of the offspring as viewed from the cattle feeder's standpoint. "I do not wish it understood as com promising my position or attitude at other times taken with reference to the special purpose dairy cow, for the man whose circumstances either force him, or make it to his advantages to produce butter fat at the greatest profit, tha special purpose dairy animal Is his only choice. For the economical production of a maximum of dairy products there is other than the special purpose cow. Let the professional dairyman breed and feed her, he knows how; the average farmer will fail with the abnormal and delicately developed organism. The spe cial purpose cow occupies to the possi bilities of this rapidly developing de mand for your stock! The farmers ot Kansas have the money to pay for these animals. By heeding this, call you will have done more than any other agency to develop the resources of Kansas and Increase the profits of your own busi ness the while. Eastern breeders have not been slow to appreciate the popu larity and the demand for dual purpose animals, as the advertising columns of eastern papers will "testify. Let western breeders take this as significant of the demand which is sure to come and which has already' begun, as it has in eastern states where the dairy Interests are more highly developed. "Four breeds are bidding for dual pur pose distinction, viz: Shorthorns, Polled Durhams, Red Poll and Brown Swiss. The literature of the time abounds in argument supporting the Shorthorn as a dual purpose breed. It is the writer's opinion that the Shorthorn has the best claim to adaptability for both milk and beef. This breed upon its importation to this country had earned the title oa 'The milk breed." We are advised that in England the milking Shorthorn Is a reality not an animal for future years to develop." W. F. JENSEN'S PAPER. W. F. Jensen took almost the same position that Mr. Borman did, and as serted that the only class of farmers who are justified in handling exclusive dairy cattle in Kansas are the small farmers who must make all their feed go as far as possible. Mr. Jensen said in part: "I have never affirmed that a distinct breed of dairy cows would be the most profitable one on Kansas farms. I draw the distinction in this way: The farmer who has a small farm, a small pasture, and who has to utilize to the T The recent marriage of a couple of cripples, each having onlv half lue nrooer cotnpie- r metit of arms J-07j and logs, was y, noted hv the f T- press as a i on- ,f tnubial curios C Uty."

V e 4 V. 'li i I best advantage all the feed he raises, can make the most money by having dairy cows, Holsteins preferable. I do not consider that Kansas conditions and the rough Kansas feeds are congenial to Jerseys, but the farmer who has plenty o land, raises plenty of feed, can positively not make a mistake in keep ing the Shorthorn cow or some other cow that will give a good quantity of milk as well as raise a calf that can graze the larger pastures, eat up plenty of rough feed and corn, and grow into a beef animal that will bring the top price in the stock yards. "I have no doubt but that the next few years will eee a decided change, in fat stock. The time is past when farm ers wili keep their young stock until it is three or tour years old and then fat ten it for sale. Most of the profit on tiie iat animal is received the first year or year 'and a half of its growth. I re spectfully refer you to bulletin No. 113, issued by the experiment station of the Kansas State Agricultural college. This bulletin is on 'Rabv Beef and is un doubtedly one of the most interesting as well as one of the most valuable bulletins that has ever been issued hv any experimental station in this coun try. From the dairyman's standpoint, the raising of baby beef will prove the most profitable, it will mean that the present method followed by many farm ers, of letting the calves run with the cows until nearly a year old, will be a thing of the past. It will mean that the calf will at once' be taken In hanS, raised on skim milk and meal and forced until it Is 14 or 15 months old when it will be put on the market, sold at the top price and will bring its own er more profit for his time and invest ment than he otherwise would have re ceived had he let it run with its mother until 12 months old, merely letting it ex ist for another 12 months, feeding it the while to develorj a larger frame, then feeding and fattening and selling it when four years old. This latter meth od, however, is the one for the small farmer. "I have stated before in this paper that exclusive dairy breeds are not needed in this state for the future de velopment of the dairy business. For general purposes I consider the cow that will give a fair amount of milk and raise a sood. bis calf; one that con sumes the rougrh feeds we have on the farm, as the most profitable. There is a field in Kansas for a breed of cows that answers these requirements. Many farmers are now in the market for thoroughbred stock they can use with their native stock to develoa a herd that has qualities mentioned above. The majority of farmers in Kansas want a Shorthorn, a Red Polled or any other kind of breed that w ill improve his na tive stock. Some of the best records in the country for milk production have been made by large cows from the more distinct beef breeds. I will not say that this milk has been produced as econo mically as some milk has been produced by the smaller breed of dairy cows, but the question here in Kansas is not so much economy in feeding. Our feeds are not so very expensive. What we want is a fair average quantity of milk from the cow and a cow that will raise a good large calf that we can fatten and sell at the top price in the stock vards." PROGRAMMES OF PAPERS.
