Curtis' Friends Say They Paid His Flection Expenses. The hold-up or Knitters' bills have be gun t i i -1 1' in the legislature at least Bony.! have be, n introduced which bear I all th,. earmarks of a craft. i Th uwunl number of old-tltners hav not y.-t appeared, but there is sti'.l plenty of time ami they vill sliow up within the next ten days. The antl- cigarette bill is still reposing peace-full;; j in some member's pocket; the usual at- tack on the telegraph conipani-s has not materiali-ed, ami only one measure ill- rected against the express companies has appeared, and that is a bona tide one. j A hold-up bill is generally very mno- cent appearing on its face, often its j purpose seerns to be the height of be nevoience and in the interest of mor- j a-ity. For instance, there is the antl- cigrin tte bill. It cannot be denied that; a measure which would stop the sale of cigarettes to minors, at any rate,, would be an extremely good thing, but measures of this character have been in- I troduced so often purely for hold-up purposes, ami otheis have been passed to full of h.oi-s as to be inef'V: tuai. that this hoaiy oft chestnut is looked upon as a joke and it wotili require a good deal of temerity on the pal t of an old member to introduce it. j Often the man who introduces a bold-1, up bill noes so innocently and in good: faith, ignorant of its real purpose. For instance, there are doubtless a dozen new members in the lower house, men, of the utmost integrity, who could be induced to introduie an anti-cigarette Mil and would do so with the idea that they were dome; an extremely good deed. It is v.'ty easily worked. The grafter, prepares his bill and picks nut the vie-' tint whom h selects to introduce it.

When the disclaimer of r. v.. Rooks JToculist, to t'ne Lincoln county seat in the lower house was accepted last week and .1. 1. Miller. Republican, was seat ed in his place without a single protest trora any taction on the Itepiublican side, it caused consider:1 b'e wonder among tit- fusion minority. The fusioriists figured that it was the si-neme of some 1'articular senatori.al .faction on the Re publican side, and that the other sena torial factions would promptly fight it. When the entire Republican sdde of the house voted almost unanimously to seat Miller they could not understand it. They supposed that there must be some colored party in the woodpile but they could not figure out his location. Xow the mystery has been cleared up, if the story that is told of the seating of Miller is true. It seems that Mr. Miller became a candidate for the Republican nomination for representative in Lincoln county last fall as a Curtis, candidate, and he was nominated with that under standirg. It is reported that Mr. Curtis paid Ids expenses, amounting to some thing over $;.,tMj, as, of course, Mr. Cur tis had a right to do. Po when there was a xuospect that Miller would be seated in Rooks' place, Mr. Curtis gave it out to his friends on the quiet that it was all right and to make no objec tion to it lien Miller came to Topeka the re port was started in some way among the Stanley people that Miller was for Stanley, but of course would not declare himself until he was seated. With this rumor circulated it was very easy to persuade C. D. Jones of JNeorton, a Stan ley man from the Sixth district, to In troduce a resolution to seat Miller. The Long managers seemed to under stand the situation and as there was no move to oppose Miller on their part the rank and tile of the Long element b-t Miller be seated without protest. Many of the members really thought that" Rooks had discovered that a re count of the votes would defeat him and that it was useless, for him to spend the time necessary to defend his con test, wherefore he filed his disclaimer to the s?at and asked tiiat Miller be seated. Mr. Miller himself, of course, kept quiet on both the senatorial and state printer questions, and each of the three 1-ading senatorial candidates smiled quietly to himself as he thought" how he was getting- an additional vote un expectedly. It was therefore something of a shock to the Stanley and Curtis crowds, especially to the latter, when Miller voted for i.ong. Mr. Miller voted in an extremely low tone of voice. The open 1 allot system must have been a great shock to him. It is said that Mr. Curtis confidently expected Miller's vote up to the very minute he voted for Long. Some of the fusionists openly charged op. the floor of the house that Books "sold out" in filing his disclaimer, but th---y offered no proof in support of this assertion. Mr. Rooks is said to have had a mortgage of $701 on pome prop erty of his. Now- it is rumored that to "reward" him for his "magnaniniit y" the friends of two candidates, one for state printer and the other for senator, raised a. purse among them and gener ously took up this mortgage for Mr. Rooks, dividing the amount equally between them. Senator John Chanv is having trouble iti freaking the friends cf PI' 1 Iloch in Topeka believe that he voted for the Marion county man for state printer. The Clark people g;ave it out j quietly that Clark would get at leas,. one and probably more votes out of the Shawnee county delegation after Artbut j Capper withdrew, and the Cstpital placed both Senator Chancy and Rep resentative John Sims In the Clark column after the state printer caucus. This brought out a denial signed by all f-'tit- members of the Shawnee county i delegation, who alleged that they voteel for Knob. Several others who wrfl counted amoti; those who voted for j Clark have siven it out, that they stood by Hoeh. In fact it is very amuslns; to see how many members of the legis- 'attire there are who want it known that i t'lfv were for the defeated candidate, I This is contrary to the general rtne. Oetier.nlly a defeated candidate has few" j friends, but nearly all want it under stood that they were with the winning side and in the band wapon. j Rut to return to Senator Chancy. Some of his Topeka constituents who are friends of Mr. Iloch are ungracious enough to doubt his denial that he vote 1 for Clark. Some of the Clark supnott ers. too, laush at the anxiety of some, "f the members to have it known that they were not in the Clark band wagon It is said that Oeorge J. Farker is to be made postmaster at Lawrence as a reward for making the race for sneaker and losing. A new postmaster has been due at Lawrence now for nearly a year, but Congressman Rowersock has delay ed naming one, and it is said that he will make the appointment so that Judge Rarker can step out of the legis rje.ht into the Lawrence post- ofiiee. Lieutenant Governor Hanna has not yet apt oi uteri the senate committee on eongr-"-ejonai apportionment. The same came,,-, ,-.o jn the house Is causing-S-e r-k"r 7 Tingle to make a careful study of the situation because of the numer ous ird- r'-sts involver-p There will doubt less be a lap inW'dneeri to make a new congressional district of Wyandotte, .Tohnsor,, Douglas, Shawnee, and possi bly Wabaunsee counties, throwing Con-P"-"m n Curtis and Rowersock into the same district, according to the idea out lined in the State Journal several weeks ago. The same plan will probably place Morris and possibly Pottawatomie coun ties in the Fifth district. Congressman Miller would then have to meet a num ber of Fifth district interests to secure a nomination. Other interests would like to have Marshall county moved over Into the T-Trst district. This would pi-ice CoT.gressmer, Calderhead in the big Re publican district of the state, but he would have a number of competitors for the nomination. The day i not far dis tent, however, when he will have oppo siMo.n on his hands in the Fifth district. :t generally conceded that a new dis trict will be formed in th south cen tral part of the state, and this will re quire a good deal of figuring- in order to suh'fy enough interests to get a reap portionment bill passed. Ml ANTHRACITE TRUST. One Found In London WithCapi tal of 815,000,000. London. Jan. 24. After months of ne gotiations between the owners of an thracite mines a definite arrangement for the formation of a combine was con cluded yesterday. The St. James Ga zette this afternoon says it understands that matter have so far progressed that I the promoters have decided to register a companv under the name of "The -Anthracite Trust" with a capital of $13. i.ro.ocic Most of the col!:-:-: ies it is said are ready to accept the promoters' terms.

GEOjAiIY IS KlDpA.IT. Doesn't Like Comment of Amer ican Newspapers. Foreign Office Jiakes Defense of Acts in Tenezuela. BOMB ARDMENT GOES ON The Latest Report from the Seat of War Says the Government Forces Are Holding the Fort. Berlin, Jan. 24. The foreign office representatives today in conversation with the correspondent of the Associ ated Press referred in aggrieved tones to the American press .comments upon the bombardment of Fort San Carlos One official said: "In view of Commodore Scheder's re port. Germany has a just right to feel ing indignant at the fact that a portion of tire Ameriean press is aroused over the false statements of what occurred at San Carlos without awaiting the facts in the case and thereupon attacking- a friendly power. The Panther's action, the official report shows, was strictly within the limits of interna tional law. She was proceeding past the fort to enter the lagoon of Maracaibo in order to prevent the importation of con traband articles from Colombia, and in doing so was fired upon. The Panther-, of course, answered the fire, as she was entitled to do. The attack was not made by us, but by the Venezuelan fort. We are fiuite unable to see why any neutral should express disapproval be cause the Panther replied, or because our vessels afterward leveled the fort since it was a hindrance to an effective blockade. The assumption that we want to prevent a settlement of the matter at Washington and the speedy raising of the blockade is wholly mistaken. We want the blockade to be raised just as soon as the powers have adequate guar antees in hand that their claims will be met. We don't even ask for the imme diate payment of money, but only for guarantees. We can not raise the block ade empty-handed, without any form of suaraniae." A HINT TO THE RKSTAURADO!!. LaGuayra, Jan. 24. The former Vene zuelan Kunboat Refdauradcr now in the t possession of the Germans arrived here j at 2 o'clock from Puerto Cabeilo and an- ehored near the shore. Her presence caused great popular indignation. At o'clock several t itle shots were heard in the distance. Shortly afterward the Restaurador left her anchor and -.noved to a position outside the harbor and un der the protection of the guns of the British cruiser Tribune. The Restaurador had been armed, equipped and manned by the Germans since the capture. Her anchoring close Into the shore was taken by the popu lace, in view of the Maracaibo occur rence, as a direct provocation to retali ation, it is not known where the rille snots were fired but it is believed the precaution of the Restaurador in mov ing from the shore was timely as the hungry unemployed populace of X.a Guayra, excited by recent events and driven to desperation by their condi tion had applied to the local authorities for arms and proposed making a night attack on the gunboat. Kxeitement against the Germans is running high here. BOMBARDMENT STILL IN PRO- GRESS. Maracaibo, Jan. 24. At 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon Fort San Carlos i was in the possession of the govern- ment forces and the bombardment by the German war ship was still going on.. There has been no materiai change in the situation. The Pantner was the only vessel to come inside the bar. Communication with the fort is very difficult. Great excitement prevails in Maracaibo. GERMAN OFFICIAL REPORT. Berlin, Jan. 24. Commodore Scheder, commander of the German fleet in Ven ezuela waters, officially reported the bombardment of Fort San Carlos from Maracaibo under date of January 2i. as follows: "On the 17th instant while the Pan ther was passing the Maracaibo bar. she was unexpectedly- attacked by Fort i San Carlos, which opened a heavy fire i on her. To this the Panther replied j and a cannonade was exchanged for half an hour. Owing to the difficulties of i navigation the Panther then desisted. I "In order to exact an immediate punishment for this attack, the more so as the v enezuelan government had proclaimed it a victory I bombarded the fort with the Vineta on the 21st in stant and destroyed it." EFFORT TO RAISE BLOCKADE. Washington, Jan. 24. An a, 'five ex change between England and Vene- zuela is going on as represented by Minister Bowen respecting the letter's proposal to raise the blockade of the i Venezuelan ports as a condition pre- cedent to further negotiations. The British government is showing an I amicable spirit in this matter and there I are hopes of a satisfactory conclusion j if Germany ran be induced to accept the agreement about to be arrived at. The German government, however, has so far returned no answer to Minister Bowen's petition which fact is the subject of unpleasant comment here. It is learned that the g-uarantes offered by Mir. Bowen are regarded by the I'nited States government as eminent ly reasonable and sufficient. They in- j elude a proposition by President Cas tro to turn over the entire Venezuelan customs system to he allies for the I collection of their indemnities and au 1 thorize the allies to place an official in j each of the Venezuelan custom houses i to make stire that they secure their j proper proportion of the receipts. ALLIES MUST BE PAID FIRST. 1 London. Jan. 24. It was learned to i dav by a "representative of the Assoei I nted Pres that Great Britain, Ger- m.-.ry nnd Ttaly have agreed that Min ister Bowen's proposal that the block I r-.d of Venezuela be immedintelv rais i ert can not- b entertained and that co ercive action must continue until a proper guir irttoe forthcoming. The foreign offices hold that any other course would entail a failure of the at-tmr-ts to br1"o- about a settlement by dinlomn-cv at "Washington. Regarding the position of the other claimants against Venezuela the block ading powers contend that their claims must first be satisfactorily settled be fore the demands of the countries who are not actively asserting can receive attention. Kansas Causes clash Between Socialist and Conserva tive F'orces at Indianapolis. Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 24. Another clash between the socialistic and con servative factions opened the United Mine Workers' convention today. A resolution from Kansas favored public ownership of railroads and the coal mines. The committee on resolutions, formed of conservative members brought in a counter resolution setting forth the inability of railroads to move the coal from the mines, and recom mended that the convention be not com mitted on "get coal" movements, gov ernment ownership or other such grave questions. The whole matter was tabled for eood on motion of W. H. Haskins. of Ohio. There was a resolution to print the scale of wages in Hungarian, Slav and other languages, and that the ritual be piublisheri in the Italian language. The ritual and by-laws are published ir. seven of the languages now. These res olutions were referred to the executive committee. A resolution was passed favoring th" establishment of co-operative stores by miners, absolutely free of any connec tion with the organization. A resolution presented by district 15. covering parts of Kentucky and Tennes see, called attention to the industrial de velopment of that country, to the fact that of the 20,000 miners in that district only about one-fourth were organized, and asked that great effort be put forth in that district during the coming year. The resolution was concurred in. L. I Taimage, of Iowa, presented a resolution favoring committir-a; the con vention to socialism. it w -romptly defeated by an overwhelming vote. -V resolution favoring raising a heavy reserve fund for strikes was referred to a special committee. There was a resolution favoring an ex change of union fire clay and coal miners' membership certificates. It was referred to a committee. The convention today voted to crease salaries as follows: John Mitchell, president, to $3,000; B. Wilson, secretary-treasurer, to m- W. S2 5'i0 Vice President Lewis to $2.f00: members of executive committee and auditing committee to $4 per day; S. M. S-xton. editor of the Miners, Jour nal, to $1,300. The convention has adopted a reso lution in favor of limiting the power of the federal courts in issuing in junctions against labor organizations. DRUGGIST HIT HARD. Clarence Voting Is ":de an Ex ception in I'el ce Court. There is considerable interest over the probable outcome of the case of main taining a nuisance charged against Clarence Young, druggist. Young, who had a trial in police court Thursday ev ening, is the first in nearly a year to get a jail sentence in' tne police court. Yorng was found guilty and fined $100 and 30 days in jail, and hastily gave an appeal bond of ?."00. At the time of Young's arrest, it was widely rumored that he had incurred the displeasure of the jointists, and that the negro, "Bull" Scott, who swore out the complaint against him, had been hired by th" li quor fraternity for that purpose. This was denied by Scott, who said that he was "sore because a druggist could run without paying any license, and a poor joirttist had to dig up every month." Eight or nine witnesses who were named by Scott and subpoenaed by the city, testified that they had purchased liquor in Young's plat e on the corner of Fifth street and Kansas avenue, and it is evident that the druggist was lucky in not having- sales of liquor charged against him. Young was confident at the arrest that the whole affair was a "bluff" and that the netrro, with whom he had no acquaintance, did not intend to prosecute the case. Young was one of the three or four druggists who were raided by Stahl. but he was never con victed before. HARRY GORDON HERE. Formerly of Wichita, Now Lieu tenant (Governor of Ohio. Harry Gordon, lieutenant governor of Ohio, is in Topeka today and called on Governor Bailey. He is here on private legal business. Lieutenant Governor Gordon is a for-merly-of-Kansas man. He used to live in Wichita. When Syl Dixon took his famous corn train east a few years ago Gordon was the orator who accom panied it. A short time after that he returned to Ohio, his old home, and set tled in the law business in Cincinnati, where he had many acquaintances. Then he got into politics and now has been elected lieutenant governor. He came to Kansas to take depositions in a law suit in which he is retained. EARTHQI SOUTH. Shocks Felt in the Vicinity of Charleston and Savannah. Charleston. S. C, Jin. 24. An earth quake shock was felt here at S :1 1 o'clock last ni;ht. ihere was one distinct shock which was not sufficient to cause any damage to property nor to occasion serious alarm. Reports from all points near the city in dicate that the shock was felt throughout lower South Carolina. Savannah. Ga., Jan. 24. Two distinct and ahncst successive cheeks of earthquake were felt here last night at 8:15 o'clock Reports from Tybe island are that houses were very perceptibly shaken. OUR AMERICAN SULTAN. His Majesty of Jolo Will Come to the Fair. Manila, Jan. 24. The Sultan cf Jolo has announced his intention to visit the St. Louis exposition. He will be ac companied by a native retinue. It was erroneously announced from here January 19 that the sultan had died of cholera. It was the Sultana of Jolo, his mother, who died at that time. .lADOEfl GOi! Another Attempt to Elect a Senator in Colorado Fails Owing to the Absence of a Quorum. IS STILL IN SESSION. Democratic Senate Takes No Chances on Situation. The Next Teller Man That Leaves Will Be Expelled. Denver, Colo., Jan. 24. The Democrats are determined to force an election cf senator today if possible. Many Demo cratic representatives camped with the senators in the senate chamber all night in order to be on hand when the joint session was resumed this morning. Should Representative Michael J. Mad den, of this city, absent himself today as he did yesterday, he will probably lose his seat in the house, as 24 Demo cratic representatives have signed an agreement to vote with the anti-Wolcott Republicans for his expulsion. This proposition originated with the mem bers of the anti-Wolcott Republicans Should such action be taken, a sena torial deadlock will be created with 50 Democrats and 50 Republicans in joint session. The attendance of all the Democratic members of the legislature as at uresent constituted are required to make a quorum of 51, the entire mem bership being 100. On the ballot last night Senator Teller received 00 vote and he would have been elected, it i claimed by the Democratic leaders, ii Madden had voted. A police guard was maintained at the senate chamber all night, but Republican senators and rep resentatives, as well as the Democrats, were freely permitted to enter ana write letters. In the house chamber strong guard was stationed, and no per son was permitted to enter. The joint, session of the Democratic senators and representatives which took a recess at 10:30 last night, reconvened at 9:30 today and adjourned until 12 o'clock. The joint session reconvened at noon today. As heretofore no Republican members of either senate or house at tended. The roll call showed 50 Demo cratic members, one less than a quorum present. Representative Madden, who remained away yesterday, was still ab sent and the serjeant-at-arms was or dered to bring him in. Representative Madden sent to the joint session a certificate from a physi cian that he was too ill to leave his room. It is said he has been attacked by the grip. The joint session is con sidering a motion made by Senator Sel dom Fudge ordering the sergeant-at-arms to bring Madden in "dead or alive." The secretary of state today recognlz- senmng itaWl tor printing. i-, i. r.c 'uunciiii Mliaiors auu a committee f oo,.v. e,m wi rt i Woicott Reptublican factions in the house met in secret conference this af ternoon in the supreme court chamber. The house after transacting a littl? routine business today adjourned until 10 a. m. Monday by a vote of to 23, Democrats and anti-Wolcott Republi cans voting- in the affirmative. There were three absentees, including Repre sentative Madden, the Democrat, whose absence prevented a quorum at the joint session yesterday. No action was taken with reference to the proposed ex j pulsion of Madden. NO QUORUM. How the Election of Teller Was Again Prevented. Denver, Col., Jan. 24. The joint ses sions of the Democratic members of the two houses of the legislature were con tinuous yesterday, except for two hours, from 2 o'clock p. m., when an adjourn ment was taken to permit the house members to attend the meeting of the house, until 4 o'clock, when the joint session was again called to order. Again action on the senatorship was blocked by the absence of one man. Represen tative Kelly, of Montezuma county, who could not be found Wednesday, was present, but Representative Madden, of Denver, had disappeared, and at a late hour had not been found. Caucuses and conferences were held during the day by the different tactions, but no settlement of the deadlock appeared in sight. At 10:30 o'clock last night a ballot for United States senator was taken in the joint session of the pemocratic senators and representatives. It was necessary to send for Senators Bailey and Hill, who are sick, and they were brought to the state house in carriages. Fifty votes were cast, all for Henry M. Teller. Rep resentative Madden was absent, still and there was no choice. The joint ses sion then took a recess until u o'clock this morning. The Democratic senate resumed its continuous session in the senate chamber. The Democratic members of the house met in caucus and signed an agreement that if any Democratic member willfully absented himself from roll call the oth ers would join with the Republicans in unseating him. The house, which adjourned on Wednesday until 2 o'clock, held only a brief session. No steps were taken to ward unseating any more Democrats. A motion to adjourn until 10 o'clock this I morning was carried by a vote of 26 to 23. Most of the anti-Wolcott Republi i cans and the Democrats voted for the adjournment, while the W- ott men i lined up in opposition, asserting that it was the intention of the anti's to permit the Democratic joint session to elect a senator. inis is aemea oy tne anti- Woicott leaders, who says, the adjourn ment was for the purpose of effecting a Republican agreement. Radical measures have been adopted by the Republican senate, which held an executive session in the lieutenant governor's office, to abridge the author ity of the rival body and accomplish the removal of its officers. To this end, resolutions were adopted notifying the state treasurer and auditor that W. II. Adams, president pro tern: Charles II. Sprague, secretary; J. Dooley, sergeant-at-arms. and his assistants, were re moved from office and are not entitled to any pay for services as officers and employes of the senate from and after the 19th day of January. 193. A motion was unanimously carried that" the state printer be notified not to 'i,i ar,t o own neril. from any other bodv assum- Continued on Page 10.1 ST. PAUL BREAKS DOWN. Mishap to Ear Machinery in South ampton Water. Southampton, Eng., Jan. 24. The Ameri can line steamer St. Paul broke down in Southampton water this afternoon shortly after sailing for New York, owing to a mishap to her machinery. It is said the injury is trivial and that it will cause only a few hours' delay. Witness Doblin Tells in Un equivocal Language How Attempt Was Made to Buy Lessler's Influence. Washington, Jan. 24 The house com mittee on naval affairs today resumed the investigation of the charges made by Representative Lessler that he had been approached with an offer of money for his vote. Philip Doblin was the first witness called. He was interrogated by Rep resentative Taylor for the committee. He said he had no employment at pres ent, but was employed by the Repub lican committee during the campaign of 1902, and attended to the distribu tion of literature and that he also was a, deputy in the office of the superin tendent of elections. He said he did what he could to aid in the election of Representative Lessler, whom he had known since 1S94. Answering Mr. Taylor he said that he had been in politics for 12 years. "I stood ready to serve Mr. Lessler in any way I could," he said when ask ed as to his relations with Mr. Lessler whose office he made his headquarters. Mr. Doblin said he has known Mr. Quigg since 1806. "Did you have a talk with Mr. Quigg relative to Holland submarine boats?" "Yes. sir." "When was that?" "Somewhere between the 10th and 15th of December." "Where?" "T received a telephone message ask ing me to come to 100 Broadway." He said he went to Mr. Quigg's office. He had only seen Mr. Quigg once since the state convention up to that time. He went to Mr. Quigg's office he con tinued and went to lunch with Mr. Quigg. "Mr. Quigg wanted to know how Mr. Lessler and I were," he said, "and I told him I thought Mr. Lessler and I were quite intimate." He said they talked over the hill to build submarine torpedo boats. Mr. Quigg, he added, was trying to get Mr. Lessler favorably disposed toward the bill. Mr. Doblin then detailed the further connection he said he had with Mr. Quigg. Mr. Doblin said: "We talked over the Roberts' bill, that I understand is the name of the submarine boat bill. Mr. Quigg was anxious to get Lesler's friendly disposi tion toward the bill and he said after talking variously 'there is five thousand V as near as you can lust what I tn v i,-i

"He said he was not personally inter- ested in this thing. He said 'there ia some friend of mine whom I desire to favor if I can. if I tan get the aid I want there will be $5,000 in It.' Then he said, 'I think 1 can make it a thous and for you,' he said. 'He telephones me at 3 o'clock and I will let you know about that.' "For whom did he say there was $5,000 in it?" "The man we were talking about. He said he was the man." "That is Mr. Lessler?" "We were talking about Lessler. We were not talking about anybody else. He did not use his name. At 3 o'clock I telephoned and I was told "that will be all right.' "Io you know who was on the other end of the telephone?" "No. sir." "You couldn't tell by the voice?" "No. sir." "When did you see Mr. Lessler?" "The following day." "What, occurred when you saw Mr. Lessler?" "He was standing at his desk looking at his mail and I asked him whether the torpedo boat submarine business was going to come up again. He said it might. I said, 'I was sent for yester dar.' He said. 'By lvhom?' 'By Mr. Quigg.' I told him just, what I "What did you tell him? State just what you told him." I told him 'there would be S3.000 in this of you can see your way clear to he friendly to it. He kind of said liumpn. humph,' and laughed. He threw hi3 papers down and there was no more to it. He said 'There is nothing in that." He said 'Quit.' I tried to talk, and he said 'cuit.' "And you c-uit?" "I quit, that is all." "Did you communicate this to Mr. Quigg?" "Yes, sir." "What did you say to him?" "I toid him Mr. Iessler would not it can't be done. I think that was the language -I used 'it can't be done." Answering Representative Roberts Mr. Doblin said that Mr. McCullagh had never asked him to see Mr. Lessler in regard to submarine boats. Replying to Mr. Wheeler, he said he could not fix definitely the date of hi interview with Mr. Lessler. In explaining why he made a state ment before the sub-committee he said he supposed he was obliged to tell hia story and to believe what he said wab to be held -in confidence by the commit, tee. He said he understood one of tht members to have stated that he must teh what he knew, and added: "You might as well have pulled a gun and said 'Hands up.' Attorney Delaney Niccoll cross-examined Mr. Doblin. currying him over his testimony and with particular reference to The onnversnt ion he testified to R3 having occurred with Mr. Quigg. Mr. Niccoll directed inquiries to the witness as to whether he knew he was doing an unlawful act in submitting the propo sition to Mr. Lessler which he testified he did. Mr. Dublin said he had not read the law on the subject, and in an. swering to whether he thought he was iloing a friendly act, he said he onl wanted one friend to help another.

HE WAS NOT TIMED. No Jury Could Be Secured at Liberal. Deeds His Home to Widowed Mother of Victim. Will Go Into Court and Accept Murder Sentence. Liberal, Kas., Jan. 24. After having been freed by a technicality In the law from trial on the charge of the murder of lS-year-old Arthur Smith, W. I. Coombs has become converted at a re vival meeting and has announced his in tention of going into open court and asking sentence for hia crime. To the widowed mother of the boy he shot last June he has made over his house and lot in town and has promised her that if he is not made to pay the penalty of his crime he will turn twenty dollars of his monthly earnings to her for her support. Coombs is a section foreman on the Rock Island. The surprise of this new development in the Smith murder case has set the people of Liberal into a frenzy of emo tional excitement. There is nothing the town cannot do for Captain Niles, tho Salvation army revivalist who has se cured Coombs' conversion. It is not be lieved that Coombs will be placed under sentence for his crime. Attention need not be called to the sensational features of the affair and it is impossible to pre dict what turn may occur in the case. Last June W. I. Coombs shot and kill ed Arthur Smith on account of a quar rel between Coombs' son and the two Smith brothers. The tragedy occurred on a side track where Smith was un loading coal from a fiat car. The story of the crime is about as follows: On the Coombs place, located about a mile out of Liberal, is a small lake frequent ed by the town boys as a swimming hole. Among the boys were the 17-year-old son of W. I. Coombs and the two Smith boys, of whom Arthur was the older. The boys quarreled over some trivial matter and on one occasion th-3 younger Smith boy was badly used by young Coombs, who had found him alone. At the time of the next meeting Ar thur Smith caught and held Coombs while the young brother administered to him a sound thrashing. On the follow ing day the senior Coombs went to the coal car where Arthur Smith was at work and ordered him never to appear at the lake again. Smith made some taunting reply and threw coal at Coombs, who drew his revolver and fired three shots, all of them taking et- j feet in the boy's body. Smith died ten 1 hours later. The shootine- created irre-it --"e snooting created grtai excite- 1 ment and talk 01 lynctiing, nut coombs was placed in the Libera! jail for trial. He was bound over for trial without. bond but was subsequently released on habeas corpus proceedings. His bond was $5,ooo. At the term of court when his trial was called it was found to ho impossible to secure a jury in the coun ty and Coombs was released. Two weeks ago Salvation Army Cap tain Niles, accompanied by his son !tnd dtiughter, arrived at Liberal from Beaver City, Oklahoma, and opened a revival. In the course of a week Coombs announced his conversion and last Tuesday went with Captain Niles and others to the Widow Smith and confessed to the murder of her son. Ha stated that the murder was deliberate ly planned and that he had sought thu boy to kill him. He promised that so long as he earned money he would give her $20 out of his monthly wages and that he would turn over to her his town property as a partial recompense for the death of the boy. Coombs says he is constantly haunt ed day and night by the sight of the dead boy. Weather Indications. Chicago, Jan. 24. Forecast for Kan sas: Generally fair tonight and Sunday; southerly winds.

"If all the prod uct of 1X!! were loaded in ordinary re frigerator cars, the train would be 8KS miles Ions, or longer than the distance between Washington and Chicago." George F. Thompson, or' Kansas, edi tor of th bureau of animal industry, was speaking, and he was talking about ear;;.-. "Kges are eggs these days," he con tinued, '"and are a product of the farm that ousrht to be re koned with in our interna! commerce. They have received too little credit for what they have done toward opening up our frontiers and the development of our country. Indeed, there are three invaluable factors v. hit-h have been prominent in the settlement of our frontiers: I refer to the patient housewife, the gentle cow and the help ful hen. The part that each of these has taken, directly or indirectly, in the making of farms out of forest land, prairie land and desert land has receiv ed too little attention from a people thRt owes so much to them. "A generation ago, when prairie fchooners were so numerous on the western frontiers, it was a rare thing to see one that did not have a chickn- oop tied on the end gate of the wagon, cr a cow following close behind, often times driven by the wife herself on foot. In the new home to be the wife, with equal fortitude, endures all the trials and privations that come to the hus band; and while he subd'Ues the forest cr breaks the prairie, she cares for the cow and the chickens in addition to her household. It requires time for the hus band's work to bring results; her cow and her chickens are already giving re eults indeed, have been doing so all along the journey. The subsistence of these pioneers for a time must neces Farily be upon eggs, poultry and milk, nd the surplus eggs become the ex change medium at the country store. Money seems to abhor a frontier, just as nature does a vacuum." "But about eggs," interrupted the cor respondent. "I'm coming to that, as they say in congress.

The average price per dozen rang ed from 7.7 cents in Texas to 43 cents in Alaska. The average price for the whole country was 11.15 cens per dozen. There were 203 eggs for each of our population and these were worth $1.X9. "In the production of eggs Iowa leads, with 96.621,920 dozens, worth $10,016,707.

The table, bowever, by omit ting poultry under three months old, shows an apparent large decrease. The value of poultry of all ages was $4,356, 9B7. "The poultry and egg products of 1893 was valued at J13.72S.294, of which $6. 491, 1S3 was for poultry and $7,237,111 was for eggs.

The same statement is true of the poultry product, if we except the years of 199 and 1900, when the ex cesses of gold and silver combined were, respectively, $4,967,123 and $16,- S12.61.1?. "The surprise occasioned by these figures is still further heightened when we are made aware that the poultry and eggs together, in 1S99, were worth more than either the gold or the silver product of the world for any year since the beginning of records in 1493 excepting the two years of 1S3S and 1899, when the poultry pro ducts fell below to the extent of $3, I 701,433 and $25,990,533. respectively. "Pursuing the comparisons further. I w find that the poultry and eggs of i 1SS9 outvalued the total exports of animals and animal products during i ail th years down to and including 1900. The amount of wool produced j during the same year was worth I9t.- 16S.13S less than the poultry and $9S, "63.232 less than the eggs produced. The poultry and eggs taken together exceeded in value the wheat crop of twenty-eight states and the corn crop of twenty states. Poultry and eggs take seventh place among the farm products of the United States, being outvalued by animals soid off farms, hay and forage, dairy products, corn, wheat and cotton. Poultry and eggs are worth more than the product of pig iron in the T'nited States in 1901, more than the bituminous coal, and more than the Pennsylvania anthra j cite.'

It is almost certain that Harold Weeks, the phe nomenal quarterback ot last season s Michigan football team, will coach the Kansas university eleven this year. Weeks has been offered the position but is waiting to ascertain whether or not "Hurry Up" Yost will again take charge of the Michigan team. Weeks has been informed that should Yost refuse to go back to Ann Arbor, he will be offered the position as coach of the Michigan team. Whether or not Weeks will be at Kansas next year wiil probably be definitely decided next w eek. Walter Shaw, also an ex-Michigan player, was with Weeks yesterday.

Years Ago lie Worked on the Farm as a Common II and. IS A PRETTY ROMANCE. Gentleman in Question Wealthy Shipbuilder of Seattle. Returns to Kansas to Find First LoTe Is iiarried. Then He Falls in Lot With the Daughter It Is Said. Leavenworth, Jan. 24. The Times says- Rumor has it that this soring Will Moran, one of the Moran brothers, builders of the battleship Xebraska in Seattle." and known as the millionaire ship builders of the Pacific coast, will wed Miss Grace Williamson, doughter of Samuel Williamson, a farmer of Wyan dotte county, residing near the Leaven worth county line. And rumor also has it that there 's a pretty little romance connected with the aCair. About twenty-five years ago. Will Moran, making his way from the east to fhe west to grow up with the country, drifted into the farm house of Thomas Watson, a well known and highly re spected farmer of Wyandotte county re siding near Piper. Moran had little money but was wiilins to work, so was emiilc.ved as a farm hand, which work he performed faithfully. He remained in the emrfloy of Watson for some time or until the desire to go further west came over him. He was loth to leave as he had learned to love Alice Watson, daughter of his employer. But as he was almost penniless Moran did not have the heart to ask for the girl, so left and drifted west to Seattle. About the same time another Moran, a brother of Will, was employed on the farm of Henry Voigt, a farmer well known to Leavenworth citizens. The two left for the west without Will speaking to Miss Watson of his wick to make her his wife. Years passed and the Moran brothers became famous as ship builders. Thesr made big money, and then a desire came over Will to travel baelc to the scent of his youth. He had a longing to see Miss Watson and came to Wyandotte county for that purpose, but when he arrived there he ascertained that she had married Samuel Williamson. He visited at the Watson and Williamson homes and became infatuated with Miss Grace Williamson, daughter of his for mer sweetheart, who is said to be 19 years of ase, while he is 42. In De cember Moran returned to the William son farm and spent some time there, and a report is now being circulated to the effect that the marriage will take Blace in Seattle some time this sum- There are a number of farmers resid ing in Wyandotte county near the Leavenworth county line who remember when Will Moran and his brothel worked on farms in that vicinity and they state that the fact that Will has all kinds of money now has not changed him in the least. He js the same plain, everyday sort of a fellow, and is quite a favorite with the country people in the vicinity of Piper. BURNS CELEBS, ATIOI".

Fre quently v.hen out driving I would become so exhausted that it feemed that I would die before I reached home.

McPherson, Kan., Jan. 24. Negotia tions are pending- for the removal ot Bethany college at Lindsborg. Kan., 1 to Kansas City. The management has I realized for some time that the college ha:? outgrown Lindsborg, and a new i location more suitable to the capacity i of the college has been sought for. Dr. C. Swensson. the founder and promoter I of the college, has been a power, both I from a financial and a political point of view. From its infancy Bethany college grew, and with it its debt, but through his untiring energy and shrewdness of management Dr. Swensson placed the I colb ge out of debt two years ago, and at the same time brought it up to rank with the first educational institutions in the state. Between Bethany of I Lindsborg and Augustina college of I Illinois there grew up a rivalry until i Bethany is leading Augustina. tour years ago, Augustina. seeking to retain the first place, offered Dr. S-wensson of Bethany the presidency of Augustina, but 'he offer was declined. Dr. Swens son has ambitions to hs.ve Bethany at the head of all institutions of the Swed ish Lutheran church in America, and Uts thought that for this purpose he will work to remove to Kansas City. The location of the new Swedish mission university at UcFherson, Kan., is also another factor to be considered in removing Bethany from Lindsborg. as it is thought that the proximity of this new institution may detract from the Lindsborg school. Nothing definite can be l"arned yet a to the exact plans or terms upon which the change is to be made. Lindsborg. Kan., Jan. 24. Dr. Pwensson. president of Bethany col lege, was seen in regard to the report that Bethany college would be removed to Kansas City. lie said there had been talk about it ever since the Min nesota conference of Lutherans decided to move the Gustavns Adol pints college from at. Peter to Minneapolis. The friends of the proposition claim that Kansas City has no real college as yet: that Kansas City is bound to grow and become a "niillh m-pce -pie-center" with in a short period of time; that the wealth of Kansas City would probably liberally endow an institution already w- 11 and favorably known all over the west, if it 1- came a Kansas City in stitution. The friends of the present site claim that this city is the true and greatest center of the Swedish Luth erans of the west, that Lindsborg is an ideal college town; that social, climatic and r-li-'ious surroundings are the very i best and that the coliege would lose an ess.-ntiai part of its patronage by the j ri tr.nvnl. They say that a p-onerty i wort a 5173.000 would become practically! worthless by such a removal anil that Bethany should ever remain at its j birth place, Lindsborg. It is needless i to say that the entire vallev stands :is 1 a unit cgafnst removal. The Kansas i I conference holds the deciding power. Jt meets m Kansas City. Mo., m April. All other colleges of the Swedish Luth eran church have been moved at least once. Bethany was founded in 1SS1 by j Dr. arl s-v. ensoon. It is now l largest denominational college in the the en- state, having nearly 900 students rolled. Mrs. Roosevelt's Musicale. Washington. Jan. 24.

At one minute past midnight Honight a new time card goes into effect on the Santa Fe and Rock Island railways, the principal change being in the six hours additional time given to the throusrh freight trains between Kansas City and Chicago, and Chicago and Kansas City. Some slight changes are also made in the passenger schedule, but these were mostly incidental to the freight changes The movement to lengthen the timr of the through freights is a concerted one by the management of all western railways. It is believed that the plar will effect a great saving in operating expenses, and in "some' measure offset the increased price of railway supplies and labor. By reducing the speed of the freights by 20 per cent, longer trains can be hauled, and not so many of them will be reauired to take care of th business. The cost of transportation per ton rer mile will thus be reduced. There will be a small sa-ing in wages because of the reduction in the number of trains, but this is not one of the chief objects aimed at by the railway managements. In carrying out this plan of concen trating the freisht traffic in longer trains, the new Santa Fe time card an nounces that through freights Nos. 31 and 42 will be discontinued, and the freight which has been hauled on these trains will be taken care of west-bound on No. 33 and east-bound on No. 48. In case the business is too heavy for No. 33 or No. 4S, extra sections of those trains will be run. At Newton. Kas., however, a pew train will ba made up, to be called No. 31, which will take west-bound frelgnt through to Denver. It will be called the Colorado fast freight. The chang-es in the two through freights. No. 33 and 31, are the principal ones made in the new card. Concerning the change in running time, it may be stated briefly that while under the old card, through freight No. 33 made the distance from Chicago to Kansas City in 25 hours and 5 minutes, under the new card, the same train is allowed 31 hours and 20 minutes for the run, a difference of 6 hours and 25 min utes. No. 33 is now the only transcontinen tal freight which the Santa P'e has, and it is aiso the only freight running straight through from Chicago to Color ado. Formerly, No. 31 ran through di rect from Chicago to Denver. Now it runs only from Newton to Denver. The Topeka connection of No.33, which has heretofore made the run from Kan sas City to Topeka in 3 hours and 50 minutes, will under the new card make it in 3 hours and 25 minutes. Instead of leaving Kansas City at 10:40 p. m. and arriving in Topeka at 2:30 a. m., it will leave Kansas City at 4:50 a. m. and ar rive in Topeka at 8:15 a. m. CHANGES IN PASSENGER SCHK DULE.

Surveyors, intent upon selecting a route for the Orient railway, were here several days last week, says the Eu dora News. Apparently it is settled beyond the possibility of a doubt that from Kan sas City westward the road will tra verse the north side of the Kansas river until it reaches a point directly north of this city. From this point the surveyors have staked out two routes. One crosses the river a short distance above the wagon bridge, reaching this side of the river about one-fourth of a mile west of Oscar Schlegel's house, and crosses the San ta Fe tracks a half mile or so west of the railroad bridge crossing Wakarusa creek, thence westwardly into Law rence. The other route continues along the north bank until the east limit of North Lawrence is reached, where a crossing is made over the Kansas river on the site of the old bridge. Nothing can be ascertained from the surveyors. They are employed to run the two lines to a point and beyond that they will not talk, or at all events profess ignorance. There is some talk that this survey is being made for Winner's electric line and that a loop will be built from the main line where it strikes the south bank of the river in this town. The rumor is not credited here. STEAM VS. ELECTRICITY. Exciting Races Near Chicago Stopped by Railway Officials. "Dutch Bill" and "Charley" Wagner, two fast runners on the Aurora. Elgin Chicago electric road, have been hav ing fun with the engineers on the Chi cago Northwestern and the Chicago Great Western steam lines, says the Chicago News. To such an extent was this practice carried on during the last two months that a notice was posted on the bulletin board of one of the latter lines reading: "Engineers must not ract with the cars of the electric lines." And now Bill and Charley are forced to have it out between themselves. Passengers who have been ridine on the electric line and also on the steam roads have been delighted witnesses to some of the finest races in which elec tricity has ever been pitted against steam. Certain cars reach Wheatori about the time that regular trains on the Northwestern scud around the curv west of the Wrheaton station. The tracks parallel each other for more than 25 miles and the tematation of the engi neer to open the valve is somethins hard to resist. No sooner was the' track of the electric road well settled than the motormen be gan stirring up thefblood of the engineers. It often happened that the Northwest ern train would sjart first and get un der considerable headway, but the pas-, sengers would look over their shoulders and discover the motorman sneaking up on the flying train. The latter woulo. keep on its way, making no stops, but the electric car was compelled to stop for passengers along the way. The stocs would be made and the staarr. train would get out of sight of its rival. When the passengers had made up their minds that nothing more of the trolley would be seen, the car would come in sight and gradually pass the man in the cab. The motorman would run on ahead and then in an aggravat ing manner slow up and wait for the steam train, when the racers would go at it in dead earnest. Passengers on both trains took the liveliest interest in the contest, and there came many signs of the hands and sundry boasting man ifestations from the windows as the furious pace was kept up. One train that furnished occasion for a race almost every night was the St Paul limited on the Chicago Great Western line. It leaves the Grand Cen tral station shortly after 7 o'clock in the evening and gets out near Bellwood about the time one of the electric trains is well on its way to.Aurora. The Great Western has a clear straight track, and its engineers are averse to allowing any thing on wheels to pass them. They NOT DUE TO CLIMATE. Catarrh is Found Everywhere. Catarrh is at home anywhere and ev erywhere. While more common in cold, changeable climates, it is by no means confined to them, but is prevalent in every state and territory in the union. The common definition of catarrh is a chronic cold in the head, which if long neglected often destroys the sense of smell and hearing; but there are many other forms of the disease, even more obstinate and dangerous. Catarrh of the throat and bronchial tubes as well as catarrh of the stomach and liver are almost as common as nasal catarrh and generally more difficult to cure. Catarrh is undoubtedly a blood dis ease and can only be successfully eradi cated by an internal treatment. Sprays, washes and powders are usless as far a reaching the real seat of the disease is concerned. Dr. Mclverney advises catarrh suffer ers to use a new preparation, sold by druggists called Stuart's Catarrh Tab lets, because actual analysis has shown these tablets to contain certain anti septic qualities of the highest value and being an internal remedy, pleasant to the taste, convenient and harmless, can be used as freely as reouired, as well for children as for adults. An attorney and public speaker, who had been a catarrh sufferer for years saj-s: "Every fall I would catch a coid which would settle in my head and throat and hang on all winter long and every win ter it seemed to get a little worse. T was continually clearing my throat and my voice became effected to such an ex tent as to interfere with my public speaking. "I tried troches and cheap cough cures and sometimes got relief, but only for a short time, until this winter when I learned of the new catarrh cure, Stu art's Catarrh Tablets, through a news paper advertisement. Two fifty cent boxes which I bought at my druggist's, cleared my head and throat in fine shape and to guard against a return of my old trouble I keep a box of the tab lets on hand and whenever I catch a little cold I take a tablet or two and ward off any serious developments." Stuart's Catarrh Tablets deserves to head the list as a household remedy, to check and break up coughs and colds, because unlike many other catarrh and cough cures these tablets contain no opiate, cocaine or any iniurious drus. pn npr-n n PQ Trim Dr. BoH Ptthi forConstfpotlon.

The racers seemed to be boring big holes in the thick darkness. The sputtering on the third rail show ed the power that was being put into the race of the trolley car, while the engineer, whistling for the crossings, seemed to say, "Come on, ye flashing devil ever there." The motormen assert that they won and that the passengers on the steam train pulled their curtains down so they could not see the trolley flyer pass them. The railroad employes tell a different story, and point to in stances when "Bill" and "Charley" hit the last notch in a vain attempt to catch up. William Xofs. or "Dutch Bill" as everybody calls him, who lives in Elgin, has a record of some of the nerviest running in the history of electric loco motion. When the new Chicago line was opened he was brought over from the line of the Elgin, Aurora South ern. It was told over in the valley that "Bill" would race anything from a steam train to a tornado. It is a mat ter of history that finding a twister coming upon him one day, he turned on the current and ran out of its way. Wagner is also a nervy runner and lives at Wheaton. The conductors of the electric line say that if he could have his way he would show his rear trucks to any contrivance under steam. NEARLY ALL NEW. Santa Fe Telegraph. Linea in the West Are Rebuilt. Albuauerque. N. M., Jan. 24. During this winter and spring will be completed the rebuilding of the Santa Fe's tele graph lines between this city and Los Angeles. From Albuquerciue to Selig man the work has already been nnisheu and the force of men is at work string ing in this direction. The best materials and methods are beins utilized in the construction, the total cost of which wih approximate J200.000. When this work is completed it will connect the coa.-t to Chicago with a main line which will be the most perfect of any road this side of the Windy City. This will make a stretch of more than 1.239 miles. Later on, it is said, that a quadruplex circuit will connect this city, Los Angeles and Bakersrield, with a view to increasing telegraph facilities t San Francisco. Over the whole system it is estimated that there are betwen 8.000 and t'.OOO miles of pole lines, ami nearly 40.000 miles of wire. An entirely new organization has been effected throughout the department, its affairs being placed in the hands of wire chief located at different relay points, an. given jurisdiction over certain territory assigned them by Superintendent of Telegraph C.

During the inter state commerce hearing yesterday it came to light that certain interests are preparing to file claims amounting to $1,000,000 against western railroads for overcharges on shipments of live stock. It was stated that claims of this char acter had already been filed against the Chicago Great Western, and that the other roads would soon be in receipt of similar favors. The charge was made that some of the people who brought about the present hearing on the dis -parity between live stock and packing house product rates were back of the proposed claims. Mr. Tomlinson of the Chicago Live Stock association denied all knowledge of the matter, but atten tion was called to the fact that soort after the live stock association had in-. stituted proceedings against the rail roads on account of increased terminal charges in Chicaso claims for over charges on these rates were filed and proseeuted against the lines centering here. Trying to Solve Water Problem. Herington. Kan.. Jan. 24. The frequent difficulty with engines running out of this division point is causing the Rock Island much trouble. Experts have been investi gating the water supply here and at other central Kansas points, it beig thought that central Kansas watt r injures the boilers. Plans are being discussed for put ting in a settling apparatus to trent the Wciter at this point. It is an expensive process, but will save the road money. It may be put in in a few weeks.

It Is an Interesting Canine and At tracts Attention. Any place where a body of men are gathered together in a common occu pation involving daily and continued association there is likely to arise a free coinage of words. Words that mean nothing to the outsider. In the Kansas senate the word "dog" has a significance of a character sufficient to outrage the feelings of any Kansas canine. The kennels are in the com mittee rooms to which the attaches of the senate make frequent trips to in spect the occupants. Occasionally a clerk or door keeper is left to watch over a. "dog" and neglects his duty or deserts his post. The owner returns to find that in his absence some one has taken a "look" at his pet and that his pet has been much depleted thereby. There are "speckled dogs," "spaniels," "pointers" and "bird pups," but all serve the same purpose and come final ly to the decoration of the interior of some senatorial dignitary orcommittee clerk. It would be violation of con fidence to say anything further about the character or purpose of these pets but down in one of the waste paper rooms of the state house the -janitors are making a collection of empty bottles.

4- TOPEKA STATE JOTJBNAI SATURDAY EVENING. JAXTJAEY 24, 1903. Given a Check 11 ear hi?. In Gas Coal 31 en Toll to Get Their COST OF THE PLANT. I'uihlfngs and Ground Valued at About SI 0,000. !r. Philips Says the Compaiij Tays About $:J,000 Taxes. Another snas has been struck by the city in the dollar gas case. At Fri day afternoon's session of .the hearing b fora Special MaM'er Brock P. J. Monaghan, N. F. Wear and J. W. F. Hughes, three Topeka coal dealers, were subpoenaed to tell what they know about the amount of coal used by the gas company, and the price which the company paid therefor. Each i of the dealers was provided with mem oranda of these facts, made from the books of their respective companies. When Judg:e McFarlarid, on behalf f the city, attempted to introduce this evidence, it was objected to by Chas. I'dood Smith for the gas company, who aid that if the city desired to introduce uoh evidence, he would insist that the books of the coal companies be brought Into court, as that was what the city bad demanded -.is to the gas company's records, ilr. Block sustained this ob jection, ami no testimony of import ance was seeiH-i d from the coal men, because none cf t!i"in could remember aii.vtnins; ind. p nd-mt of the memoran da they they had made from their bituks. I. J. Monaffhan, of the Southwestern Fuel company, stated that he was very iriue'n opposed to hririjting' the books of his hrm into court, and would not do so unless compelled to. There is some question as to whether or nut the court can compel his company to bring its books into court. N. F. Wear, of the Wear Coal com pany, said that the books of his com pany had been mostly taken to Kan sas City, where the headquarters are novv located.

Cnr. IT. M. Fhilins, ex-county treas urer, was placed on the stand to tell U" amount of taxes paid by the Excel sior Coke and ilaa company.

The attorneys for the gas company wanted to know the assessed valuation cf the Ran company's property for the years mentioned, and Mr. Philips was instructed by the court to secure this in formation as soon as possible. Th city then placed on the stand, fol Mr. Philips, ex-Councilman John Elliott, who was chairman of the pras committee for o, number of years, and was also a member of the streets and walks committee. Mr. Elliott testified as to the buildings owned by the com pany, and the improvements which the company has made. It. K. Cowdiy, the superintendent of th e-as plant, was -ailed next, and was pa i ioned at length as to the improve- j -nrs made on the plant, and the v:1iip of th3 improvements. The purpose of the city is evidentlv to prove that the gas company has largely overstated the value of its plant. There will probably be no sessions next week, as some of the attorneys have other engagements. DEMOCRATS WAIT. They Take- No Action on the Mayor Question.

Newark House Painter Arrested Six Months After the Bobber. New York. Jan 24 Charles Owens, a bouse painter, is under arrest in New ark for th' robbery of four diamonds worth J2.0H0 at the house of C. B, Bar ker. ICast Orange, on July Is. The rings were recovered by Newark detectives in a pawnshop in Brooklyn on Monday. Owens had pledsred the jewels. He con fessed the robbery when arrested at his home, No. 265 Camden street. Or. the day the diamonds were last seen by members of the Harker family several workmen were employed about the premises, which wore beins renova ted. .Anions these was Owens, who was eneaed in paintins one of the rooms on the second floor. There was no reason for Huspeetinjr Owens above any one else, and he was not molested by the police, although every one of the men who were employed in the house on that day were kept under surveillance. On Saturday last detecti-es got trace of the diamonds, which they learned had been pawned iR Brooklyn on July 28, nine days after they were stolen.

An unknown mar. committed suicide in the Pan Han dle railroad tunnel after attempting to kill Kai'ael Yellow, the tunnel watch man. YeHow noticed a man leaning aerainst the wall of the tunnel some distance from the Fourth avenue end. He flashed the light of his lantern on him and of fered to guide him out of the cavern, which is not lighted. The man protest ed against the watchman interfering with his business, whipped out a revol ver and fired. Yellow dodged when he saw the gleam of the weapon and two bullets were j fired at him. He ran for his life out of the tunnel and later returned with po licemen and railroad men. Near the place of the encounter they found the body of the man. He had evidently been struck by a train that oassed through after Yellow left him, but there was also a bullet hole in the side of the head. From the position of the body it was beiieved that the man lay down on the rail and then shot himself. CHURCH NEWS. Reformed PresbyterianVhuroh, corner Clay and Tenth streets, K.

Senate Can Do Nothing; Without Hi Permission. Washington, Jan. 24. When the sen ate assembled today Mr. Quay, in charge of the omnibus statehood bill, moved that when the senate adjourned today it adjourned to meet at 11 o'clock on Monday, an hour in advance of the us ual time. He gave hid reason for this motion the fact that the diplomatic ap proximation bill is to be taken up Mon day. Mr. Hale of the committee on ap propriations objected to the motion as being opposed to the real expedition of business and the request was withdrawn by .Mr. Quay who said he did so in de ference to the wishes of the appropria tion committee. The senate agreed to a resolution in troduced by Mr. Jones (Ark.) instruct ing the committee on naval affairs to inquire whether it is not practical to use other oils than naphtha and gasoline on war vessels. On Mr. Quay's motion the omnibus statehood bill was then taken up, but Mr. Quay gave way while the following bills were passed: Extending the time for the comple tion of an incline railway on West mountain at Hot Springs, Ark.; extend ing the time for the construction of the Akrc'n, Sterling Northern railway in Alaska; placing Captain E. L. Bailey on the retired list. Washington, Jan. 14. After some rou tine business the house went into com mittee of the whole and took uo the consideration cf the agricultural ap propriation bilL Mr. Wadsworth, in charg" of the bill, explained that it car ried $5,258,860, being $211,000 in excess of the current law. One cf the increases consists of an appropriation of J10.000 for investigating the best method of ex terminating the cotton boll weaver. TO EXTEND THE TIME Washington, Jan. 24. The state de partment is considering- the advisability of extending the period of time allowed for the ratification of the Cuban reci pocity treaty, now pending; before the United States senate. The time allowed for ratification expires one week froi today. While the senats manaserXro conrident of their ability to secure the approval of the treaty within the time limit, the president and Secretary Hay have about concluded that they will scarcely warranted in risking the loss of this important convention, and there fore they contemplate the drafting of a special article in the shape of a protocol which will provide for a safe extension cf the neriod allowed for ratification. The attention of officials who have to do with this treaty was directed' today to the statement in London to Lord Lansdowne by the delegates of the chambers of commerce of the United Kingdom to the effect that the Cuban treaty contained a secret clause stip ulating that no further measures of reciprocity shall be undertaken by the United States toward the British West indies. It was explained that there was no secret clause" in the treaty. What the delegates undoubtedly had reference to was the amendment to the treaty made by the senate committee prohibiting for a term of live years any diminution of the sugar duties in the tariff laws, the effect of which would be to prevent the confirmation of any reciprocity treaty with the British West India colonies or indeed with any country permitting-a reduction of sugar duti-s. This amendment is entirely obnoxious to the administration, but whether its inclusion would cause- the loss of the treaty cannot "be fortold at- this mo ment. TREATY TO EE MADE PUBLIC. Washington, Jan. 24. The senate committee on foreign relations today considered the Colombian treaty, but reached no conclusion except to vote thot it should be made public. The treaty is a very lengthy document containing much detail and it will be pome time before it is reported to the senate committee. GEN. WOOD'S SUBJECT.

Says Goorgo Clark Must Divide State Printer Profits. T. W. Morgan, Henry Allen's Demo cratic, competitor at Ottawa, publishei a story that the profits of the state printer's office, after George Clark if" paid a salary of $2,600 a year, are to be divided among the syndicate. The information is credited to "a gentleman of experience and good judgment who was at Topeka during the recent legis lative contest." Mr. Morgan's paper says: "The same gentleman says that he learned from authoritative sources while in Torieka the details of the organiza tion of a political syndicate by the same gang that elected Long- and George Clark. The syndicate Is to be run as a close corporation, and much of the plunder it hopes to capture will be di vided pro rata among the members ac cording to their relative rank in the guild. An item of interest this gentle man learned is that the 'swag' from the state printer's office is to be divided among the members of the syndicate. He was told that Geor?e Clark, the state printer-elect, is to receive only $2, 500 a year by way of salary, the re mainder of the large proceeds to go into the pool to be used for 'the good of the ix der. COOK TO HAVE A PLACE. Will Get Reward for Vote for Curtis. It is announced that S. A. Cook, of Gove county, will get a place in the office of 4he secretary of state. Just which one has not yet been announced. Secretary Burrow says that he has also selected the balance of his office force, but he will not make it public until after the adjournment of the legislature. Some of the present force will -robably remain in the office, but not all. The landing of Cook in a state job is said to be the pvice of the vote of Representative Jones of Gove for Cur tis. Before the legislature met Cook came to Topeka expecting to corral a legislative job. W. H. Mackey, director general of the Barker forces in speaker ship fight, told him he would prob ably have some legislative places at his disposal, and said the way to get one was to line up his representative, John F. Jones,- for Barker. Cook did so but Barker was defeated and Mackey had no Jegislative jobs to give. It is asserted that Jones then went to Cyrus Leland arid W. Y. Morgan and proposed to vote for either Stanley or Long for senator cf they would get Cook a job, and they made arrange ments to do so. But the Curtis man. asrers suspected what was up and in sisted that Secretary Burrow allow them to put Cook in his office. Burrow finally consented, and the Curtis people then held Jones in line for Curtis on tht strength of that. DIDIi'T WftHT TO KflOW Bribery Committee Not Anxious to Press Witness. Washington, Jan. 24. In the bribery investigation late- this afternoon John McCuIlagh, state superintendent of elections in New York, testified that the first time he met Mr. Lessler was m Washington after the latter's election. He had read a deposition of Henry D. Hertz.an architect of New York, who de posed that he was no interested in poli tics, but was a believer in the Holland Boat company, for whom Hertz was building a house and who knew of his friendsehip for Mr. McCullagh, Mr. Rice suggested that Hertz see McCullagh to have the latter see Lessler. who wa3 opposed to the construction of the boats. He acquiesced. Mr. Hertz's 'deposition said that he had no interest in the com pany and never had. Mr. McCullagh then proceeded to describe the meeting with Mr. Lessler in W.-ashington. At that meeting which occurred in Mr. Lessler's room in his hotel, Mr. McCullagh testified that Mr. Lessler had spoken of his. Lessler's debt of gratitude to him, McCullagh, for his election. Mr. MeCullash testi fied that he protested that he had done nothing except perform his duty. Mr. McCullagh then testified that he told Mr. Lessler of his errand. He told him he came from a friend who had no in terest in the Holland boat to ask him to vote for the appropriation. Mr. Lessler, he testified, replied that he could not support the proposition. He said be was no fool, that he was not born yesterday." "He told me." witness said, "that there was not a man on the committee he would trust except one. I do not remember the name, although he mentioned it." "We are glad you don't." cried several nf the members in chorus, and there was a gpiieral laugh around the room. Proceeding. Mr. McCnllaarh testified that Mr. Iessler went on to say that he was satisfied there was a lobby here in tne interest of the boats. PROBABLY ACQUITTAL Court-Martial Renders a Yerdict in UUnn Case.

WILL OPEN SUNDAY. Oliver Brothers' Revival in New North Side Tabernacle. Everything is now in readiness for the big- union revival mer-tings which will begin tomorrow under the leadership of Tiev. French E. OlrVer and his brother, Prof. W. K. Oliver. These services will be held in the new tabernacle which has just been completed at Hl-illS North Kansns avenue. Five of the churches of the First ward. the Presbyterian, Con SreKational, Baptist, Methodist and Chris tian, are interested inthese meetings and while they last no services will be held in any of these churches. The taber nacle has a seating capacity of about 2,000 and a platform which will seat about 250 has been provided for tne singers. Prof. Oliver met the singers last eve ning at the Tabernacle and organized a chorus choir. The result was very flatterine: and Prof. Oliver expects to have shortly the best chorus in the state. Jiev. F. E. Oliver, who has late ly returned from a hunting trip to Mexico, arrived this afternoon from Winfield and tomorrow at tl o'clock will preach in the Tabernacle. The home of these brothers is In Chi cago, but they have been doing evan gelistic work in Kansas for the past year, and previous to that time had been working in the northwest. In Kansas they have had unusually suc cessful meetings durintf the past year at Holton, Winfield, Newton, Marion, Florence and Concordia. At Marion P.00 persons united with the various churches as a result of their work and at Newton the addition of TOO per sons was the result. Prof. Oliver feels confident that the churches here will be greatly benefited both from a spiritual and numerical standpoint, and that un doubtedly over MM) conversions will be the effect of this revival. Music, both vocal and instrumental, will be a promi nent feature of all of these services and Prof. Oliver, who has charge of this part of the work, will have the assist ance of Prof. Hicks of Chicago, who arrived today. Tn speaking to a reporter this morning Prof. Oliver stated that they found Kan sas a marvelonHly ea.y state to work in. so far. as they did not have the saloon element to combat as they did elsewhere, especially in llie northwest. Prof. Oliver is d--siions of meeting; all the sinuors this evening: at half rnst ?ven. These meet ings will continue for at least three weeks and probably longer. Grow Inside.

Wear full fa tigue uniform. H. E. BARNES, Secretary. TOEZUELTS WOIEI Nothing impresses the visitor to this old capital so much as the air of medieval romance that clings to every thing. In reality there is very littie difference between being in Venezuela add being in Spain, the mother coun try. The people look, talk, act like Spaniards, and their manners and cus toms are all of Spain. If you were to take an experienced traveler, who was familiar with every part of Europe, but had never been in South America, blindfold him and start him off in a balloon, say, from London to Paris, drop him finally in the Plaza de la Constitution, of Caracas, and ask him to tell you were he found himself, a thousand to one he would answer, confidently, either in Seville or Madrid. say3 a Venezuelan correspondent of the Philadelphia Keoord. The better class dwellings of Vene zuela, like those of Spanish cities on the other side of the Atlantic, are big, rambling structures, entered through an imposing arched gateway of stone, often wftith coat'-of-arms carved upon it. The gateway is furnished with high doors of wrought iron, always careful ly barred inside, which lead through a short passage, paved with small, sharp stones, like the street outside, into the great central patio, or court yard, around which the house is built into a hollow square. Though the exterior has an exceed ingly gloomy and prison-like appear ance owing principally to the fact that the windows facing the street have heavy Iron bars in front of them (a fashion borrowed by the Spaniards from their ancestors, the Moors, and founded on the Oriental idea of strict seclusion for women) the inner court yards, where the women's lives are mostly spent, are beautiful enough, with their flowers and fountains, shad ed corridors and singing birds, to atone for the deficiencies outside. Often in passing along the street you see bright, dark eyes looking out at you from be hind those bars. They stare at you with wondering curiosity, not unmixed with longing for the greater, though to their mjnds questionable, freedom of la Americana. These charming damsels are practic ally prisoners in their own homes, be ing under the watchful care of fathers and mothers, who will tolerate no non sense, until, at the earliest possible age. they are given over to husbands, before whose jealousy that of Othello must pale into ineffectual fire. Many of them have duenras besides women of mid dle nge and severe aspect to whose watchful care wealthy Spaniards con fide the morals of their too-beautiful young wives and daughters. Juliet had a duenna, you know a very model of h-'r kind and yet her Romeo climb ed the balcony. Venezuelan women are. Indeed, beau tiful. Their large, dark, soulful eyes light up the clear olive of their com plexion; their full red lips, parted in smiles, reveal faultless teeth, while the dark rich blood of their mixed Spanish and Indian ancestors mantles their rounded cheeks with crimson. Added to these facial charms, they have forms of perfect symmetry, small bmd3 and feet, and indescribable sup pleness and grace of movement, which make up a type of feminine loveliness impossible to surpass. You should see this Posado de la Embajadore? "Inn of the Ambassa dors." as Caracas' principal hotel is called, because once severa? of the for eign ministers to Venezuela resided within it where we temporarily "put up." It is a stately,"-two-story affair, evidently built with an eye to earth quakes rather than, to architectural effects. The usual paved portal bads from the street to the patio, in the cen ter of which is a beautiful little gar den, protected by an iron railing. Awning-shaded balconies, into which all the rooms open, surround this patio and are decorated with baskets of or chids and native creepers, training over trellises. The huge large dining hall is on the ground floor, opposite the main en trance: and male guests, when they have finished the solid viands of mid day breakfast and afternoon dinrer. go upstairs to that portion of the balcony immediately above the dining room, where an open space bulges out over the patio, to take their safe con cog nac y oigarrit.es. and to guardedly dis cuss the political situation amid clouds of smoke. Here, as elsewhere in Spanish-America, it is the rule for ladies who happen to bo stopping in the hotel, even though accompanied by their male protectors, to take all their meals in the seclusion of their private apartments. For la dies, unaccompanied by husband, father or brother, it is imperative. The pro prietor of a respectable hotel would hardly give them a seat in a public dining room, and if he did their situa tion would be rendered extremely un pleasant. Indeed, the position of an unattached woman is not an enviable one any where in Venezuela. If she is under the protecting wing of a male creature, her own hus'. and or brother, or any body else's husband or bvother. it if all right, and "no questions asked." Just why Spanish etiquette should compel females to eat cold food, care lessly served in stuffy bed rooms, while their lords rind admirers luxuriate in the airy and well appointed dining room, nobody can ?ay to a certainty, except that the custom has come down from th days of the Moors, when wo men were slaves and never permitted to cat with thei? masters. In these Spanish-American countries "al custombre" (the custom), rules with iron hand and must not be de parted from by so much as a hair's breadth, tf one deires to retain a shred of respectability. Yet no men on the face of the earth are more uniform ly couvteous and respectful toward all women, who do not run afoul of their prejudices, than these of Venezunla. The new woman of the twentieth cen tury could not show her face here. much less her mannish ways and costumes, without creating a sensation and per haps getting into serious trouble.

Y. i Spanish tastes, is said to be about on a par with the several other comfortable hotels in Caracas. A servant enters your room with almuerzo (first break fast) at a preposttjously early hour in the morning. The sun's charioteer has not yet waked; parrots free and numerous as chickens in a northern barnyard are shrieking to the universe that dawn is near, and a herd of don keys in the inevitable neighboring cor ral are vociferously answering back that they are aware of the fact. Fur ther sleep is- impossible, and would be unwise, no matter what your lazy habits may have been elsewhere, if you have sight-seeing or anything else to do. Not only is the early morning the most delightful portion of the day, It is the only time to do business in Ven ezula, the local world being all asleep during the middle of the day, when North Americans are most actively en gaged. The almuerzo consists of a big golden orange, as rich in perfume as in tint, and almost bursting with deliciou.5 juice: a hard loaf of crusty bread about the size of your fist; three small square cubes of sugar, a tiny pitcher of hot milk (generally goats' milk) and a cup of strong, bitter black coffee. Much of the coffee used here is kept with the hulls on until it is roasted, as wanted, and is decidedly richer in aroma than that which has been cleaned for export. Sometimes you are favored with a dirty-looking dab of pale, tallow-like grease, which masquerades as butter brought all the way from Denmark and eagerly bought in Caracas by those who are rich enough, at a dollar and up wards per pound. Since this is an ideal grazing country and vast herds of cat tle are known to roam the central Lianas, you wonder why the scarcity of butter, until somebody explains that it cows tame enough for dairy purposes tv'ere kept, they would inevitably fur nish beef for revolutionists. The real breakfast, served between 11 a. m. and 1 o'clock. Js a substantial meal, hardly distinguishable from din ner, except in the absence of soups and lulcies, and perhaps a little less wine. Water is never drunk at any meal in South America, being looked upon as a blessing provided by the gods for ablu tions only, but entirely unsuited to the inner man. Claret is freely Imbibed at both breakfast and dinner, and with the latter meal more expensive wines abound. Cognac is frequently mixed with the after-dinner coffee, by ladies as well as gentlemen, the weaker sex also evincing a finely cultivated taste for the "cigar rito con cafe." Strange to say, all the wine used here is imported every drop of it, even the Imitation sorts. Yet the mountain slopes of Venezuela are bet ter adapted to vine culture than the sunny hills of France and Spain. Cen1 turies ago, when 'this was a colony of the mother country. Spain forbade the growing of vines, and though her un dutiful sons rebelled and set up for themselves some SO years ago. nobody has tried grape culture perhap; -because the people's energies have mostly been expended ia the congenial pastime of "revoluting." As to the typical Venezuelan dinner, it is plentiful enough and tolerably well cooked, but the style in which it is served is barbaric. The meat is always undistingui-shable as to cut. and often as to kind, tough, stringy and unpleas ant to the taste. Cattle are never pro perly fattened for the market, and the manner of slaughtering is simply in famous. The animals are lassoed in a corral and dragged out to posts, where they are made fast for killing. Their horns are often broken in the struggle, eyes knocked out by stones and their thighs chewed by dogs. Mad with terror, agony and rags and suffer ing from thirst, they are left standing 10 or 12 hours before their throats are cut in time for the early morning-, mar ket. It is an actual fact, that their flesh goes into the pot or the oven while still warm with the animal heat. In th!s climate each day's supply of meat must be freshly cooked, in a few hours. Of course, such flesh cannot be fit to eat, no matter how disguised by garlic and red pepper. You fall back on the vegetables, fig uratively speaking, and are speedily filled with wonder that such fine ma terials can be so spoiled in the cook ing. Potatoes are always a soggy mess, indistinguishable as "apples of tht ground," except as their names appear on the bill of fare. There are no better yarns in the world than these of Vene zuela, especially the "cream" yam, but yams, plantains, seeds, cabbages, to matoes and everything else in the line of seeds, roots and vegetables the cook can lay hands on, are boiled together in one pot and served in a pile on a huge platter, from which everybody helps himself, pokinsr oven the mess and se lecting tid-bits with his own fork. And what amazing pepper eaters these Venezuelans are! On a small dish by each guest's plate are laid from six to nine fresh peppers red and yellow pep pers, not very large, but with more re3 hot fire in them than can be found any where else outside the regular orthodox inferno. The cut surface of one, lightly rubbed on a ul.-ite, will be found as effective as a liberal dash of Tobase sauce. Yet. these brass-throated people, especially the old fellows, will fork them, into their mouths three or four together, deliberately chew and swallow them ana never turn a hair nor wink an eyelid. A curious novelty on the dinner tabls is an enormous platter piled high with little green bundles, each tied neatly with a green string. They are called liakis, as nearly as one can guess at the word from pronunciation. Each pack age contains a substance, wrapped and tied with pieces of plantain leaf. Their total constitutes a sort of lottery. You nay draw successively from the same pile fish, flesh, fowl, swet stuff snl plain vegetable matter, rarely getting the same thing twice. Apparently the cook uses all left-overs in this manner. One wad may be delicious: the next rank with garlic or wickedly peppery. As they have been all boiled together in one huge pot, you would suppose their flavors would mix; but the thick plan tain leaf prevents that. Generally three sorts of bread appear upon hotel tables at every meal that made from wheat flour. Imported fror, the T'nited States, arepas and plantains roasted in wood a-.hes, or on an open hearth. The first is regarded as a rather aristocratic sort of provender. Serious Venezuelans consider either of the others more healthful. The arepas. to the northern taste, 1" simply abomninable. It is comnoed of 'ornmeai f imported from the Tnited States), mixed with lard (another im portation from the T'nited States) and water "home crown." The mess 1-. molded i"to oval balls and indifferently htVed, so that the outside is slightly dried, and the interior is exactly like 1 what New England housewives use tf fatten young turkeys. The laboring (lass eats another and cheaper kind of arenas, made from the nutritious cellulose cf some sort of roots. They are not rolled into balls, but flat tened out into cakes half an Inch thick. In all Venezuelan cooking lard is em- ployed to a reprehensible extent. Not only are things cooked in lard, but lar-.' is cooked into things, and when served I it fairly drips cut of them.

First I would be hot, then cold and clammy and at times my body felt as if pierced by needles. There were terrible pains all over me and then I would have no feel ing at all. A numbness sometimes came over me and I could not move. With it all were agonizing headaches and pain in the region of my spine. I look back on it now and wonder how I retained my reason through that long and trying ordeal. There were months and month? when I got no natural sleeo and my nervous system was a wreck from nain and the opiates wheich I had be-en obliged to take. "One day I read the statement of a man who had been cured of a case like mine by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People and I began taking them. The first box did so well that I contirr- ued until six boxes were taken and I was entirely well. That was about seven years ago and I have been in perfect health ever since."

He speaks as follows of Pe tuiia: "After a man has lived in the world as long as I have he ougrht to have found out a grat many things by ex perience. I think I have done so. One of the things I have found out to my entire satisfaction is the proper remedy for ailments due directly to the effects of the climate. For 111 years I have withstood the changeable climate of the United States. During my long life I have known a great many remedies for coughs. colds, catarrh and diarrhoea. I had always supposed these affections to be different diseases. For the last U-n or fifteen years I have been read ing Dr. Hartman's books and have learned from them one thing in par ticular: that these affections are the same, and that they are properly called catarrh. As for Dr. Hartman's remedy, Peruna. I have found it to be the best, if not the only reliable remedy for these affections. It has been my stand by for many years, and I attribute my good health and my extreme age to this remedy." Mr. Isaac Brock. A College nan's Letter. Mr. Clyde W.

Mr. Henry Wesseler, Wacousta.Mich., writes: "About two months ago we wrote j ou for advice for our little girl. She was in a very bad condition then. We gave her two bottles of Peruna and a half a bottle of Manalin, and she is well now. which we feel very thankful for. She had catarrh of the nose which caused an offensive discharge and bad breath. "She v.-eis also bothered with her stomach a great deal 'for about three years. She seldom complains of it now since taking your medicine. We think she had catarrh of the stomach. We give your medicine high praise, and recommend it to others." Henry AVes seiev. A Physician's Letter. Dr. Llewellyn Jordan, Medical Ex aminer of U. S.

I have tried almost every cure on the face of the earth, and had doctors attend me at their office and in the hospital, but could not get relief until I tried your wonderful Peruna. I was very doubtful whether it would help me, but at a good friend's advice, I tried your Peruna, which is a God send to all catarrh sufferers. After taking but four bottles, I am very much pleased indeed. I can safely say that one more bottle will be enough. After taking the second bottle I could go to work at my trade (sawyer), and the dust lias no effect on my throat now. I shall recommend Peruna to everybody who suffers with catarrrh." F. W. Radtke. A Young Girl's Letter. Miss Callie Windham, Moore's Bridge, Ala., Tuscaloosa Co., writes: "I am 21 years of age, and have been subject to spells of sore throat all my life, and for 17 months I had hardly been clear of it. Our home physician treated it, but it got no better. I have now taken nearly five bottles of Peru na, and feel as well as I ever did in my life.' I feel that it is a great bless ing to me. I can safely recommend Peruna as a permanent cure for ca tarrh of the throat and will take pleas ure in doing so." Callie Windham. A Foundry man's Letter. Hon. James B. Curtis, President of the American Foundrymen's Associa tion, North Side, 2S06 Sealey avenue, Chicago, 111., in a recent letter writes: "I have tried Peruna and found it a very fine remedy for all catarrhal trou bles. I have been troubled for over five years with catarrh, which started in my head and ended in my stomach, and after using only six bottles of Pe runa I was completely cured." Jas. B. Curtis. A Policeman's Letter. Mr. Chas. Rehm, Lieutenant of Po lice, 42rd Precinct, Chicago, 111., writes: "When I have suffered any bad con sequences from exposure and colds, I have found that there is nothing so quickly restores the system to healthful activity as Peruna.

Otto Engelard, Alderman of the 20th Ward, 501 Belden avenue, Chicago, 111., writes: "My experience with Peruna has been most satisfactory. Last winter I suf feved very much with kidney trouble, getting but little relief from the dif ferent remedies tried, until I used Pe runa. "In a few weeks I began to feel a change, and in less than three months I was completely .cured, and have had no trouble in that direction since."

A Mayor's Letter. Hon. B. J. Irvin, mayor of Wash ington, Ga., endorses Peruna in the fol lowing statement.

Y., writes: "Having derived so much benefit from your grand medicine I felt as if I must write to you and tell you what a great help it has been to me. "My little daughter when but two months old took a severe cold and it settled in her head and continued to get worse, and in a few months termi nated in the worst case of catarrh that has ever been known in this part of the state. After doctoring with the best doctors for three years and receiving no benefits, we were persuaded to try an advertised catarrh cure. We thought it was helping her at first, but after using twenty or more bottles she was as bad as ever. "As a last resort we began with Pe 1 I 1 I runa, and she Is cow nine years old and for the past year has been the healthiest child you ever saw. The ca tarrh has entirely disappeared; no dis charge, no odor at all, but we still keep the precious bottle In the house, and at the first appearance of cold with any of us, we immediately take Peruna, for we know there Is nothing like it. In our estimation it is priceless." Mrs. George Van Dusen. 4 An Artilleryman's Letter. Captain T. H. Rundle, 3rd Battery of the Wisconsin Light Artillery, writes from Loda, 111.: "I have nothing but praise for Pe runa. This winter a severe cold set tled in my kidneys, and my stomach was In such a bad, catarrhal condition that I could not eat, I lost appetite and sleep and nothing helped me until he doctor told me to try Peruna. "That was the finest prescription he could have given. It seemed to restore me to my usual health quicker than anything I had ever taken. In two days I had a fine appetite, slept like a child, and felt like a man once more. I would not be without it in my family for ten times its cost." T. H. Rundle. A Fireman's Letter. Mr. John Sweeting, Captain Fire Department of Evanston, 111., says: "Sometime ago we had such contin ual bard service that I, as well as my men, was completely exhausted and felt my nerves give way. One of our men had tried Peruna a couple of years ago and he advised us to try it. We did so and found the change simply mar velous. A dose seemed better than a meal, and in ten days we were all feel ing fine." John Sweeting. A Business Man's Letter. Hon. Wm. N. Selig, a prominent business man of Chicago, III., in speak ing of Peruna the great catarrh rem edy, says as follows: "After having used several remedies for indigestion with no beneficial re sults, I was induced by a friend of mine to try Peruna, and I gladly say that it perfected a positive cure.

"I send you my own and my baby's picture. She is so sweet and good, she is a Peruna baby. I have such good health now. I do all my housework and take care of my baby, and feel bo good. "There are three or four of my neigh borsising Peruna now, since it did me so much good. They were just run down, and they think it is fine. It is so good to give strength." Mrs. W. McRoberts. A Chief Justice's Letter. Chief Justice Chambers, of Wash ington, D.

Edward Clark, 402 Temple street, Los AngeieSj Cal., writes: "I fully believe Peruna saved my life. About two years ago after return ing from Alaska I was- taken with ca tarrh of the stomach and in fact of the whole system. My stomach failed me a3 nothing I ate seemed to do me any good, but always gave me pains and belching of gas. My kidneys got sore and weak, I had palpitation of the heart, my lungs were sore, and it was difficult to draw a long breath. I also had fainting spells, and while walking was afraid I might fall to the sidewalk. I also had to get up at night and sit in a chair to keep from smothering. My legs and arms pained me most of the time, my feet were cold on the hottest day, my tongue was coated, I had chills from my head to my feet. I was weak and had very little life and everything looked dark to me, and often wished for th? end. "I took all kinds of medicine do not think here is a drug store In this city that I did not get some truck from. I also used vapor baths, dieted, drank all the mineral waters, had many consul tations with two of the best doctors of this city, used their prescriptions, but all seemed of no use. "After months of this kind of work I fully made up my mind to try Peru na, and thank God for It, as I had not used over two bottles until I felt a change, and have been getting better ever since, and now I am well and strong. All my friends tell me how well I look. Let me say to those who are sick, try Peruna if you have any of my symptoms, it will cure you. Don't expect to be cured by one bottle, but stick to it until cured." J. Edward Clark. A Cavalryman's Letter. Anton J. Frank, Captain of the 12th Ohio Cavalry, Co. D., writes from 837 Lincoln avenue, Chicago, 111.: "No praise bestowed upon Peruna could be too high. I suffered for years with a complication of troubles of the pelvic organs from exposure in the army, and could find no relief until I tried Peruna. It meant life and health to me, broken down as I was and un able to enjoy life. I am now feeling well and strong, and without one ache or pain." Anton J. Frank. A Chaplain's Letter. Mr. Z. L. H. Burns. Chaplain of Lin coln Lodge, Sons of St. George, writes from Benton, Ind.: "I do not know Just how Peruna is made, but I do know there is as much difference in effect in using Peruna and any other medicine as there is between night and day. Every dose seems to instill life and health. I have been troubled, with catarrh of the head for years, also with influenza. But it is all gone. Peruna seemed to cure it in an incredibly short time. I only used three bottles and I am today as healthy and well as any man could wish to be. In-, clement or damp weather I do not dread, as Peruna cures a oold in a short time." Z. L. H. Burns. A Band-Haster's Letter. W. H. Santelmann, Leader of the TJ. S. Marine Corps Band of Washington, D. C, writes: "I take pleasure In testifying to the merits of your Peruna. My wife is now using it and she is very much im proved. As a spring tonic I know of nothing better and take pleasure in recommending it to all who are in need of a good, safe 'remedy." W. H.

Dr. Edward Everett Hale, of Koxbury, Mass., the eminent author and divine, is manifest ing considerable interest in the bill now pending in congress which proposes to i'fi.y lur coiveit,Jiy ol jvansas trie claim of the Emigrant Aid society of Massachusetts for $20,000 assigned to th university by -the Emigrant Aid society some years ago. The claim arises out of the destruction of the old Kldridge house at Lawrence in the early days. Dr. Hale was president of the Emigrant Aid society at the time the assignment to the university was made, and was largely instrumental in briging it about. He has since taken a lively interest it. the bill, and is redoubling his efforts now. He has taken the matter up with several members of congress, including Senator Hoar, and is trying to interest them in the matter. Dr. Hale regrets that he cannot visit Washington in be half of the university, but savs he will be unable to do so this winter. It wilt be remembered that the bill passed both houses at the last congress, and went to the president for his signature, but Mr MoKinley pocket vetoed the measur and it never became a law. It is under stood that President Roosevelt has in dicated his willingness to sign the bill if it is passed by congress. It is doubt ful if the bill will be taken up bv this congress, although its friends, which in clude ever;- member of the Kansas del egation, hope to secure consideration for it before the end of the session. Representative Scott has introduced a bill providing for the construction of a, dam across the Kansas river at To peka. Congressman Curtis secured the passage of a similar bill several years ego, but advantage was not taken of the law within the time prescribed and the franchise has lapsed. There has always been more or less talk of utilizing the water power at Topeka, and the intro duction of this bill is an evidence of a renewal of interest in the project. Representative Scott will leave early next week for Topeka, to be present at the Kansas day banquet next Thursday night. W. F. Hackney and family of Win field are Washington visitors. Mr. Hackney has a son here who is a stu dent at the Colmubia law school. Justice Brewer was a guest at the fftieth anniversary banquet of the Washington Y. M. C.

THOUGHT OF CHILDREN Went at Once to Telegraph Them the Glad News. Has Ideas of Her Own About Hearing Children. She Is Versatile, and a Woman of Uncommon Appearance. "O, I must go and telegraph my ba bies!" These were the words with which Mrs. Chester I. Long, wife of the congress man from the Seventh district and suc cessful candidate for the Republican nomination for United States senator from Kansas, received the news of her husband's victory following the with drawal of Governor Stanley from th3 race Wednesday night. There had been a little informal re ception in the parlors of the Copeland immediately after the second session of the Republican legislative caucus at the state house. Most of the women whose --x .J i Vv, v" (Photo by Colville.) Mrs. Chester L Long, Wife of the Man Who Will Be Elected United States Senator Next Week. husbands were interested in the sena torial contest either as candidates or managers of candidates had gathered there. Not many men were present; most of them were chasing up and down the corridors from headquarters to headquarters and it was evident from the atmosphere that there was some thing in the air. A few of the wise ones knew that this something was a caucus of the Stanley forces at which the ex-governor would release his men from their pledges and that this would assure the success of Chester I. Long. A little later the cheers of the Long men in the hotel lobby announced to the anx ious waiting ones above that Governor Stanley had withdrawn and that his sup porters had tendered their votes to the congressman from the Seventh district. When Congressman Long came up the stairs almost carried by the enthusias tic crowd Mrs. Long met him at the top. He took her in his arms and kissed her and she turned at onee to the little circle of women who surrounded hei and exclaimed, "I must telegraph the news to my babies." The wife of the man who will be elected United States senator by the legislature of Kansas next week is a woman of such uncommon appearance that she would be noticed in any crowd and remembered even if her position were much more obscure than, as the wife of a United States senator it is likely to be. She is unusuaih- nll. "Senator" Long stands over six feet but his wife's head reaches above his shoulder when they sto.nd side by side. Her figure is remarkably good, rounded, well formed, erect and her carriage is graceful and distinguished. She has thick brown hair so dark that it is al most black, which she wears high on her small and beautifully shaped head. It parts naturally on the left side and is curled and puffed slightly on both side?. Her eyes are a ray-blue, their aolc invariably reflected in her clothes, for i Mrs. Long is devoted to blues and grays j and in all her toilets these colors pre dominate. Wednesday night when her husband's victory was assured she was we-iring a pale-blue gray voile trimmed with meual'ions of cream colored lace over pale blue silk. I-ier shoulders and arms arg pretty and decollete gowns are very becoming to her. On the street mis winter sne nas ne--n wearing a gray tailored suit a pood deal and she has a lovely long gray cloth coat with triple capes for carriage and evening wear which is particularly well suited to her regal style. Mrs. Long is a Kansas woman. Her father was an Englishman and he mother a Kentuckian, and she was bori, in Missouri, but the family moved to Sotxr Stomacl Tired Stomach Wea.ll Stomach Puffed Stomach Nervous Stomach Gas on Stomach Catarrh of the Stomach and all other symptoms of icsgestio: Kansas when she was very young, and she "grew ur" in Paola3 where she is still spoken of as Anna Bache. Ten years before her marriage her mother died, and five years later her father fol lowed. When she was left alone Miss Bache teak classes in piano and voice, and is said to have been an excep tionally good instructor. She had studied piano and voice in London, Boston. New York and Kansas City. Mrs. Ella Backus Behr, of Kansas City, who has more than a local reputation as a riaist, was one of her teachers, and Mrs. Long has a very sincere friendship and admiration for her. Aside from her musical education Mrs. Long was a. student at the Paola normat school, where she was a classmate of J. T. Pringle, of Burlingame, speaker of the present Kansas house of repre sentatives. Mr. Long was also a stu dent of this school at the same time, but although their acquaintance dates from their school days they were not friends until afterwards. They were married February 12, 1895, after his first election to congress from the Seventh district. The two children, Agnes and Mar garet, are 5 and 7 years old. Agnes, named for "Agnes Wakefield" in "David Conperfield," Mr. Long's favorite hero ine in fiction, very much resembles her father in looks, manner, temperament and disposition, and Margaret, the younger, is "her mother's child." The bnnCTfhr,!d akn inriilrl o little rirnbaned I cousin of Mrs. Long, Vera Clemes, 11 years old, who has made her home with j them for several years. The three chil j dren have not been in Topeka during the senatorial contest, but are with a family friend, Mrs. Weisner. on her ranch near Medicine Lodge. They have ail been very much interested in the race. They may not have understood exactly what it was papa wanted, but whatever it was they wanted him to get it. This is the first time Mrs. Long has ever been separated from her chil dren, but whenever she has visited them du.'ing the nast few weeks they have told her that they were willing to havt. her stay away because they knew she had to "take care of papa." The Long family do not like a hotel or boarding- house and always keep house in Washington. For the last three years they have had an apartment overlooking Capitol hill, and they will return to the same place this winter. Mrs. Long: ow-ns to a fondness for so ciety. She likes people, believes in them I and enjoys meeting new ones. One of her husband's closest political friends who is also a warm admirer of Mrs. Lons says of her: "She has a genius for society, the charm, ability and tact which make a social leader yet a strong love of home which causes her to take more interest in her husband I and her children than in anything else in the world.' Mrs. Long is well-read, widely travel ed, (she has been abroad twice) and thoroughly well informed. Her favorite novelists are Scott and Dickens and she docs not care much for the modern uov- els except "David Harum" and Ralph Connor's "Sky Pilot," which she consid ers well w-orth while. The theater, she confesses, is one of their dissipations, for her husband shares her fondness for a good play well acted. She does not care for cards. In these later days she finds little time to keep up her work f Repeated attacks of indigestion inflames, the mucous membranes lining the stomach and exposes the nerves of the stomach, thus causing the glands to secrete mucin instead of the juices of natural digestion. This is called Catarrh of the Stomach. It is caused by indigestion. For many years it has been supposed that Catarrh of the Stomach caused indigestion and f"""" J1 dyspepsia, but the truth is exactly the opposite. First comes slight indigestion, then repeated i attacks of indigestion, and if something is not done the symptoms mentioned on the left follow in about the order named. Some of these symptoms may not be experienced, while heartburn, headache, constipa tion and many others may be, but chronic dyspepsia and finally Catarrh of the Stomach is certain to be Douglasville, Ga., May 17, 1902. I have been traveling for nearly two years and have suffered very badly from indigestion and dyspepsia. I tried several physicians and al! kinds of patent medicines, but Kodol is the first and only remedy that has done me any good whatever; now I have only used two small bottles and to my surprise it has cured me sound and well.

'I don't believe I have any fads," said Mrs. Long in answer to the ques tion if she likes dog's or horses, "but I will confess to a few hobbies. Most of them are about the training of children. One of my pet theories is that children should be kept children. I don't want my girls to be little old women. I never allow them to be in the drawing room on my at home days and they go to bed at 7 o'clock every night in the year except Christmas eve and their birthdays. Another thing to which I am opposed is starting children in school early. My girls will not go to school for a year or more yet. They don't do any regular studying at home but I try to satisfy their growing minds and I am teaching them what I can about nature and art. They are familiar with a great many of the most famous paintings and know something of plaDt and animal life." It is to be feared that Mrs. Long is one of those old-fashioned women who are in love with their husbands. Her husband is her ideal and perhaps that is the greatest compliment that has been paid Chester I. Long, who is next week to be chosen United Sl tes senator from Kansas. If it is a great thing for a man to be a hero to his valet what do you think of a man w ho is a hero to his wife? DENOUNCES S. S. BOOKS. Dr. Hirsch Condemns Them in Un measured Terms. Chicago, Jan. 24. Fervid denunciation of Sunday school books marked the ad dress delivered by Dr. E. G. Hirsch last night in Temple Israel. His subject was "What Shall Children Read?" and in the course of his ad(toss he said that most of the church literature for chil dren should be labelled as poison. After telling the importance of good reading for children Dr. Hirsch. refer ring to Sunday school stories, said: "There is not a single note in this trash that is true to life or character of the child. In these books all sorts of impossibilities are calmly assumed and God is dragged into them in the role of a brutal and bungling policeman. There are no words in the Anglo-Saxon tongue that would adequately characterize their stupidity. "The Sunday school books are worse than any dime novel. Their theology is damnable and their morality Is below the freezing point. Even if they were not liable to these objections they should be condemned for their literary style, for they contain eomuch bad grammar and baby talk that they are a cruel in fliction on the child." SEABR00K WANTS CARS. Vinewood People Asked to Extend Their Line. Seabrook addition, west of Washburn college, wants an electric car line, and has been making advances to the Vine wood Park railway company in the hope of inducing it to build into that locality. At present there are prospects that in the course of a year such a line may bo constructed as an addition to the pro jected Washburn college line. Manager F. G. Kellv states that he is nft in a position to agree to such an extension of the company's plans, but that he will submit the proposal to Ji). w. vviison at his next visit to Topeka, which will be made some time during eariy spring. Seabrook is about a mile from a cat line. The nearest buildings in the com munity are more than a quarter of a mile from the Washburn terminus o the City railway, while most of the Pea brook people live considerably farther away. It has a population of several hundred people. During the past few weeks there have been frequent con ferences between Seabrook folks and Manager Kelly, and offers have been made of financial support if the Vine wood road will agree to build. W0ULDV0TE BON DS. Western Kansas Counties Want Rock Island and Missouri Pacific St. Francis, Jan. 24. There are rumors that the B. M. railroad will run their mixed train on the Beaver Valley branch between Atwood and St. Francis only three times a week after Sunday next. This will be a serious loss to the busi ness interests of the town as well as the traveling public. If this is carried out efforts will be taken to throw the trade and travel elsewhere. Inducements will be made to the Rock Island and Mis souri Pacific for extensions here, and it is believed bonds can be secured in the counties of Cheyenne, Rawlins and Decatur for the extension of the Mis souri Pacific from Lenora through these counties. The time is ripe, the people say, in Oberlin. Atwood and St. Francis, three good county seat towns, for the exten sion, and bonds will be voted if the company will submit propositions. A Cent a Word Bate. New York, Jan. 24. Signer Marconi, in reply to a query regarding the rate to be charged for wireless messages said: "You know the cable companies started at $3 a word and now they have come down to 25 cents a word. In the usual course of events it is quite probable that we, beginning at 10 cents per word, will be able eventually to transmit messages across the Atlantic at a one cent rate.',' 6 The Secret of Long Life Consists in keening all the main organs of the body in health, regular action and in quickly destroving deadly disease germs.

"Kodol Digests What You Eat1 SUFFERING IN BOSTON. The Salvation Army Has Given Five Thousand People Coal. Boston, Jan. 24. "Poor people suf fered just as much in this cold spell as they did in December," said Captain Post of the Salvation Army. He turned to a pile of reports on his desk of cases of destitution, which had been turned into his office at 20 Common street, the New England headauarters, by the Salvation Army visitors. No one in Boston has -better means than the Salvation Army of knowing the actual condition of the very poor during the cold weather ofthis winter, aggravated so intensely by the coal famine. Five thousand families in Boston have thus far received assistance from the Army an unprecedented number. Fuel has been given to every one of these families, food, clothing and other neces saries being given also in many cases. This means that 5.000 families in Bos ton have been, and still are, suffering with cold. Less distress, taking the community as a whole, has been caused by the cold weather of Sunday and yesterday than by the zero snap of December, as those who have money have been much better prepared this time, and coal is undoubtedly easier to obtain, although the prices are practically the same. "But," as Captain Post says, "what are the poor going to do when there is no money left to buy coal?" In fhe South end tenements are found the cases of most acute destitution and distress. This seems strange to those who have always thought that parts of the North and West ends are the most poverty stricken of the city, but Captain Post has found far more cases of absolute need on such streets as Seneca, Oswego, Emerald and parts of Harrison avenue than in any other' por tion of the city. One case was found where there were a husband, wife and four children living in two rooms. The husband was sick and out of work, and the sole support of the family was a brave little fellow of 12, who sold papers. On the day the Salvation Army visitor called the boy had made 50 cents. This money was all there was in the house, and was needed to pay the rent, leaving noth ing for clothing and food. Fortunately coal, food and clothing were sent by the army officers last Saturday, so that the family was tided over the cold snap. Similar instances were given by the captain to show that there was little, if any, alleviation of suffering among the poor as yet. "We don't look for any until warm weather comes," he safel. "Meanwhile all we can do is to work as well as we may to relieve suffering. We need more workers and more money to accomplish all that needs to be done. One thing is fortunate it is a healthy season. If we had smallpox to contend with this vear as we did last winter t shudder to think of the situation." SUES OWNERS OF FLATIK0N Merchant Claims Queer Shaped Build ing Caused Air Currents. New York, Jan. 24. Those who have sworn at and others who have borne in meekness the pranks of the winds at the junction of Broadway, Fifth ave nue and Twenty-third street will be in terested in a suit for $5,000 damages brought against the owners of the "flat iron" building. Gibson N. Vincent, a clothing merchant, whose store is at 940 Broadway, is the plaintiff, and the papers drawn up by Mr. Vincent's at torney have been served. He claims the "flat iron" has on two occasions deflected the northeast wind so that the current smashed his plate glass windows. Rain came in and damaged the store's contents. In George Slosson's billiard hall, on the floor above Mr. Vincent's shop, it has been impossible to open the win dows on the Broadway side since the "Hat iron" was finished. LION SEVEN FEET LONG. Finally Killed It After a Desperate Fight in the Dark. Spokane, "Wash., Jan. 24 A mountain lion measuring seven feet was seen one night last week at the fron door of Mr. Finley's house In a new settlement on an Indian reservation in Ferry county, across the river from Kettle Falls. About 9 p. m. the faithful dog howled in terror, its warning ceasing in an agonizing yelp. Finley seized a rifle, rushed into the darkness and fired at a moving object, supposing it to be a coyote. Recover ing itself, the lion attacked Finley, who fled behind the house, firing two shots and finally killing the 'beast with a club. The backof the dog had been broken with one stroke of the lion's paw. Kelics of the White House Sold. Washington, Jan. 4. A quantity of furniture used in the White House for many years and discarded as a result of the recent improvement was sold at auction Thursday.

Detroit, Jan. 24. "The city has 1,200 tons of coal either in the city or on tracks within a radius of 100 miles from the city," said Mayor Maybury. "We will begin the delivery of coal at once." Mayor Maybury had just ended an other long secret session of the munic ipal coal commission. He announced that the Dime Savings bank had offered a loan of $5,000. which had been ac costed. "Never has there been a coal business established so quickly as this one,' continued his honor. "We will soon have 2.000 tons of coal for sale, more than any regular firm in the city. I have worked night and day on this project to relieve the poor, yet, because we were turned down on that Weaver coal, the press has heaped abuse and criticism on me instead of helping." The mayor spoke feelingly. He didn't thump the table. with his fist, nor did he kick the waste basket over. His figure trembled with indigation, however. He picked up a paper with a cartoon poking fun at his coal pile. "I can't express my contempt for this sort of thing," he said, waving his pen in the air. Just then a big gob of ink fell from the pen upon the spotless type written letter before him. The mayor jabbed the pen fircely into a pile of pa per near him and pounced upon a blot ter as if it were a ton of anthracite of fered for sale for $5. "It's an outrage," he remarked, to the trembling reporters. He referred plain ly to his critics. "It's contemptible," he added. "That's all this morning," he finished, with a wave of dismissal. It brought to mind the days of Mayor Pingree. However, the municipal coal commis sion is at last in operation. Secretary Ed 11. Schreiter. of the council committees, has established- an office in the old county treasurer's office and has already sold S120 worth of soft coal in ton and half ton lots at $6 per ton delivered. Only one person has asked for less than half a ton. 1 Marquand Picture Sale. New York. Jan. 24. At the first night's sale of the" collection of the late Henry G.

"Brick" prob ably does not know himself just how many servile tools he ha3 in the way of "helpers" voted to him by a Rrat-efut legislature. By the way, this name of "Brick" isn't fair. He is certainly not a told btick. and though his hair ma be red and his complexion a beautiful baby pink, he can't help it, and they don't resemble the color of a brick any way. But he is probably the victim of some irresponsible rival who was left r.i th.e port in a race with love as the stakes and he took this means to get even. But then Mason doesn't care, to why should any one else? It is rumored that there will be a ses sion of the legislature next Monday not because it is necessary to pass any laws, but because the few hundred em ployes are worrying for fear they won't earn that $3 per day which they are paid whether the legislature is in session or not. CHANGE ill BILL New Turns In Vaudeville Midwinter Exposition. at There will be an entire chansre of bill at the Midwinter exposition next week in the vaudeville department. There w ill be five different turns. Four of them have been arranged for and Manager Brisham is now making: ar rangements for the fifth feature. The Biamondon brothers will appear three days of the week in their sensational aerial ladder acrobatic turn. The Fla mondons, being- Topeka young- men, will probably be the favorites with the crowds although the new features will be particularly strong. "Vontello and Nina, the premier Roman ring artists of the world." as they advertise them selves, will appear during the entire week. They perform on suspended rings and their act is said to be very sensational and alarming. They have appeared on the larger vaudeville cir cuits of the countrv. "The great Bascatel. the man with a hundred forms." is the way the aerial contortionist bills himself. Pascatel was here with Field's minstrels a season ago and he is undoubtedly the best in his line. He does his contortion act on a trapeze in midair. The Raseh"tti Brothers, term their act the "sensationo!. hazardous, somer saulting and barrel vaulting act." Many people have seen the men who jump in and out of barrels on the floor. on chairs, on taldes ami piled two and three high. The Raschetti Brothers double the in terest in these feats by performing them together. The music next week will be furnish ed by Marshall's band and Calkins, Hall's and Steinberg's orchestras. THE DISPLAY Of the Chas. "Wolff Packing Co. at the Midwinter Exposition. j Topeka can be well proud of the Chas.

They have on displav nearly all the products of the company arranged in an artistic manner and .in charge of a young lady. Visitors to the fair should not miss visiting this booth, it gives only an idea j of the magnitude of this large instiiu- tton and of the good things this com pany produces. This institution furnishes a steady and reliable market to thousands of stock men in Kansas, and ships its products ail over this and adjoining- states. Each year it adds to its capacity, extends its trade and becomes a greater and more important factor in the commercial world. The Chas.

Those in New Haven, 111 Years Old' Eapidly Decaying. New Haven, Conn.. Jan. 24. If plans now in the mind of the park commis- sioncrs of New Hav vation may come en mature, an mno in the planting of trees about the hi toric New Haven Green. The fine cordon of elm trees set out in 17P by James Hillhouse on the Green, which has made this city fa mous as "the City of Elms," has de cayed so rapidly in the last few years and has been attacked so viciously by by the elm tree beetle that over a dozen of the tinest specimens have already been cut down, and within a few weeks four more are to go. It is now proposed to reset the Green with a new tree, other than an elm, and for that purpose investigation is to be begun to discover some tree that can take the place of the elms. This suggestion was made at a conference of city officials yesterday: At present two rows of magnificent elm trees surround the New Haven Green, almost all of the speciments being upward of a hundred years old. They were planted about 1702 by James Hill house, the purpose being rather to keep the sand from shifting across the Green than to beautify the city. Since that time the elms have grown to magnifi cent proportions, and have given to the New Haven Green a fame among tree lovers that no other public common in this country has attained. Old age. the asphalting of the surrounding streets I and the advent of the beetle pest have conspired to kill off these great trees, i until wdthin the last year or two the j park commission has hnd to cut down i several of the largest, and is now under j the necessity of cutting down more. The city has not deemed it necessary to give enough money to the commission to j preserve the elms. The public is aroused over the condition, and a vigorous move ment may be made toward securing a sufficient appropriation to preserve the trees.

He was taken to police head quarters, where he was held until 2 p. m., wnen fte was released. The police did not seem anxious to talk about the affair, but Chief Murphy, who was in Trenton when the arrest was made, returned shortly after and gave out a statement. He said that a tf lephone mes sage was received from New York, pic sninabiy from Pistriet Attorney Jerome's etiice. that Pucklin. wdio was the mana ger of Canfnld's gambling house, was on In wav to Jersey 'ity. The message for th' r said it was believed that Bucklin, who was under bonds, intended to jump Ids bail, and asked that he be arrested. Ue-Pctivt-s Pearson and 3ennett, who knew Muekliu, were sent to the ferry to look out for lain. He was found in front of the Commercial Trust building, having just come off a ferry boat. Whn arraigned at police headouarters P.ucklin was held temporarily under the disorderly act. In his pockets were found a number of clucks drawn by Canlield to his own or der and indorsed by Bucklin. The checks .-1 lit'ivgated but the names of the hocks on which they were flrawn were rot taken. AV'nen Chief Murphy arrived he c.dlcd up Mr. Jerome's office and New York police headquarters and was in formed that Bucklin was not wanted, end ro request had been made for Ins arrest. so iar as t ,ey knew. rile honu under 1 wt'toti iMicloui was nelcl. it was said, wr-re perfectlv satisfactory. Chief Murtiliv then caused Bucklin to be arrtdued before Jus tice McCormick on a technical charge of disorderly conduct, after which he was re leased. Bucklin declined to talk of the case. He ate his luncheon at a nearby restaurant and then came back to this citi".

Proposed Reciprocity Treaty With Cuban Republic Is Causing Much Disturbance to the British Mind. A CABINET MEETING lias Been Called Especially to Consider the Matter. Remonstrance With Mr. Hay Brought No Satisfaction. London, Jan. 24. The treaty between Cuba and States threatens to raise most serious differences of reciprocity the United one of the opinion be- tween Great Britain and the United States that has occurred for years. So much importance is attached to the matter that a meeting of the cabinet is being specially summoned to see what action can be taken. This is, of course, no alarmist feeling as to a possible straining of diplomatic relations, but Great Britain's entire commercial policy is believed to be vitally concerned. The matter came to a head through the deputation from the chamber of com merce of the United Kingdom which waited upon Foreign Secretary Lans downe yesterday. It included several members of parliament and represented the most powerful business Interests from all the Ihdtish industrial centers. Iteplyir.g to the delegate's argument that all the advantages which the gov ernment had gained by securing the abolition of the sugar bounties would be sacrificed if the Cuban reciprocity treaty became operative. Lord Lans downe said he thoroughly realized the gravity of the situation and proceeded to read dispatches showing that Am bassador Herbert had forcefully repre sented tiie British objections to the treaty, pointing out that it was to all intents and purposes a discrimination against all the British possessions in the West Indies. Secretary Hay's reply maintained that the United States was doing no more than it had the right to do and intimated that it had no inten tion of modifying the Cuban treaty. Lord Lansdowne added that all the information available pointed to the fact that the treaty would pass, but he announced that the cabinet would con sider if anything further could be done. The delegates said they understood that the treaty contains a secret clause stipulating that no further measures of ret iprocity shall be undertaken by the United States towards the British West Indies. If such was the case it was sug gested to Lord Lansdowne that Great Britain would be only within her rights in retaliating with an increased duty on grain. The foreign secretary gave no intimation on this point, which appar ently, was only suggested in the hope that some of the members of the cab inet who are reported to be strongly in favor of a more protectionist policy might use it as a handle to forward their views. H. C. EVANS, JR., ON TRIAL. Court-Martial 13 Investigating the Charges at Fortress Monroe. Norfolk, Va, Jan. 24. II. Clay Evans, jr., son of former Pension Commissioner Evans of Tennessee, is being tried by court-martial at Portress Monroe. The ut most secrecy in regard to the affair is be ing maintained, but it is said that charges of insubordination and neglect of duty have been preferred against Lieutenant Evans; that the testimony is all against the young officer, and that the findings of the court, will not be favorable.

Careful observation on the part of parents and school authorities as to j proper food to use to bring up children will leatl to a healthy generation. A pupil in a Philadelphia, Pa., school says: "I had a severe attack of typhoid fever, after which I was so very weak and delicate that I could not attend I school regularly. "One day, our teacher, who is a great student and able teacher, gave a lesson in physiology, in which proper food was discussed. She recommended Grape Xuts to the class, as she had used the food a long while and watched results. "I thought that if Grape-Nuts had en abled her to teach a class of boys as I she tausht us, the food would do me good in my weak state and I commenced eating it. "I have used Grape-Nuts steadily for over a year, am a little past 15 years old. and now measure S feet 8 inches, weigh 137 pounds and am strong and well, having entirely recovered from my weak and delicate condition. I am very fond of athletics and join actively in all the snorts in our vicinity. "I can truthfully say that Grape-Nuts is just the food for me and has built me up into a strong active boy."

Myers Observes Peculiar Phenomenon in South Topeka. Near the banks of the Phunganunga creek on the southeast suburWs of To peka has been observed a phenomenon of nature which is believed to indicate the presence of natural gas. It is on the property of William G. Myers at 113 Last Twentieth street. For eleven years Myers has owned and occupied about an acre at that location, a part of it being nearly on the level of the stream and subject to overflow at times of high water. Myers says that he has repeatedly observed during freshets that the wa ter, when tiowdng a few inches deep eiver the place mentioned, soeths and bubbles and that when the water be comes deeper it is spemteti into tne air. sometimes to the height of ten or fifteen feet. It is only about once each year that the water reaches a height suffi cient to flood the Myers place but Mr. Myers states that invariably at the time of flood this bubbling and spout ing recurs. He has been unable to ac count tor it himself but lately called the phenomenon to the attention of a gas expert, who gave the opinion that it was the result eif the escape of nat ural gas. Since then the matter has been called to the notice of the Topeka Commercial club. If the opinion of the first gas expert can be duplicated by that of any other in the state it is probable that the Commercial club wdll do some prospecting in the locality. PltlDE OF ST. FRANCIS.

Plans Regarding Beecher's Body. New York, Jar,. 24. In connection with the plan to remove Henry Ward Beecher's body to Plymouth chuiv. ii Brooklyn, and" erect a memorial build ing adjoining the church, it has been suggest-d that the entire half block to the west of the church be purchased, razed of its buildings, and converted into a breathing place tor the poor along the waterfront, under the name of Beecher Park.

A BICES M ITTCE-a M J f QUIGU'S ST011Y. Only Acted for a ITriead in Holland Boat Matter. Washington, Jan. 24. Lemuel E. Quigg has made the following statement regarding the testimony before th? house naval affairs committee by Rep resentative Lcssler: "I rci'ret that the committee declineei to receive my testimony, inasmuch as t think it should have gone out with Mr. Lessler's.. I have no interest whatever and never had in the Holland boat or any other company organized to pro mote nor am I ever in any way inter ested in obtaining pending or other leg islation in their behalf. At the solicita tion of a friend, whose name I w ill give to the committee, who saiel he was in terested I consented to speak with Mt. Lcssler in advocacy cf the boat. As the result of efforts to reach Mr. Lessler b telephone I was visited by Philip Doblin, whom I knew to be Mr. Lessler's per -sonal friend. I made no other request of Doblin than that he shoulel let me know w hen Mr. Lessler was in town ana in his office, in order that I might sec him. Subsequently Doblin called at my office again and told me that Lessler was in his office, and I calleed there. Mr. Lessler at his office did not eien the conversation by saying that of course i there coulel be no talk about money. H" did not say this then or at any othei i time during the conversation nor was there any talk about money except ik. his own declamations against tne meth- j ods to which he said the corniiy was i resorting. i "It is very true, however, he did not j mention to me any prior conversation between him and" Doblin. He received i me politely and in a frienelly wav, and It was I who introduced the subject o' the Holland torpedo boat. Mr. Lessler promptly announced his opposition to the pending appropriation, and stated with great detail why in his opinion tfn; Holland boat should not pass. 1 did not feel myself sufficiently well informed about the merits to discuss them with him, and when he was done I told him that I guessed he knew more about the subject than I did; that I hael suffi ciently performed my errand, and that I had no ree;uest whatever to make of him. I eliel not mention to Mr. Lessler the name of the gentleman who request ed me to talk with him or say more on that subject than that he was a friend w hom I should like to oblige. As a mat ter of fact, he was not General Eppa Hunton, or any Mr. Hunter, or any per sem of a similar name. I novel said anything of that sort to Mr. Lessler. Subsetiuent to this conversation between Lessler and me Doblin called twice at my office, urging me to visit Lessler again, hut I diel not do so." Mr. Quigg also specifically denied the statement made concerning Doblin so far as they associated him (.Quigg) with offers of money. For Prof, Jackson. Major T. J. Andi rson is authority Jor the following: "If there is a colored man in the city who deserves recogni tion at the hands of the pjopie, that man is George Y Jackson, who is a eaneiidate for marshal of the court ef Topekn. Jackson is a veteran of the Spanish war and served with the Twenty-third regiment in Cuba, and by re-ase.n eif that service, he is inca pacitated for doing hard work. Jackson has been leader of a band for many years in Topeka and has picked up more than one hundred colored boys em the street, educated them in music, and they are now earning their own living in various parts of the country, follow ing their profession music. His ser vices have been at the command of the people on every public occasion anel he lias never hesitated to turn out when anything transpired ref interest to the people of Topeka, anel all this without money and without price. He has a liberal education and is well qualified for the position, and the people of the city ought not to be asked- the second time to support him. He has never bee-n a eaneiidate fer a position and if nominated and elected, he will make a faithful and efficient officer. If all the politicians in the city for whom Jaeksem has worked in the1 past years, would turn out anel give him thei-: sup peot. he would be nominated hands down, and without any other assist ance."
