Chicago, Feb. 5. It is feared that 40 fishermen went to their death in the storm, which struck Saginaw Bay Tues day night, says a dispatch to the Tri bune from Bay City, Mich. The men were living in shanties built on the ice. The storm burst without warning. It was accompanied by a blinding swirl of enow and the waves crushed the ice in the bay upon which th fishermen's huts wete standing, into a grinding, i-runching muss. Nothing has been seen cf men or shanties since. It is known that two were drowned and little hope is expressed for the others. James j. Fisk. a fish buyer who spent the night in his station, came to the city lust night and said that prior to the foorm he could see plainly a dozen Flianti'S and men moving about them, but in the morning there was no sifjn of human life on the hay. Two men v ho were in a shanty not far from his place weie lost during the niht, cakes of ice having smashed their shanties to pieces, lie says the other fishermen could hardly have cstape'd. as they were suil farther out and near the scene of the first breaking up of t lie i-.-. deadIroTfumes.

The marshal protected him in a hotel until train time and then told hnn to jjet out and not come back.

Things Indicate That Company Can Continue. Judge Hook Said lie Didn't Want to Stop It. At 2:30 this afternoon it was an nounced by Judse V, C. Hook that Cyrus Leland and Wm. W. Hooper, a Leavenworth attorney associated with John H. Atwood. will be the receivers for the Kansas Mutual Life 'Insurance company. Atwood and Hooper are at torneys for the Kansas Mutual. A third trustee will be appointed by Judge Hook to serve with Mr. Leland and Mr. Hooper. Mr. Leland was sug gested by the plaintiff and Mr. Hooper by the defense. The plaintiff's attorneys objected to E. N. Morrill on the ground that he is a director in the company, and Judge Hook stated that he will not appoint him. The bond was fixed at $10,000 for each trustee, or. $25,000 for the three. Under the supervision of the receivers, or "trustees," which is a less harsh term, the business of the Kansas Mutual will be conducted by the present orti cials until such time as a plan for the reorganization of the Kansas Mutual can be evolved, submitted to the policy holders for ratification, and put into op eration. The Kansas Union Life Insurance company, which was to have taken all the business and. assets of the Kansas Mutual, will continue its existence. Its officials and headquarters are the. same, as those of the Kansas Mutual. It has JDCO.OtK) or" new business in its own name, which will be carried on. There is possibility that the proposed reorganization of the Kansas Mutual will involve the eventual consolidation of that company with the Kansas Union The "decree of the" court, w hich the at torneys have been hard at work upon this morning at the office of Rossington, Smith Ik. Histed, was signed this after noon by Judge Hook. It provides amimt, other things that the Kansas Mutual Lite Insutance company shall protect tiie Kansas Union company from alt loss on obligations of policies assumed under the reiniiy ranee contract given by the Kansas Union to the Kansas Mu tual. This is practically transferrins back all the policies which the Kansas Union assumed, to the Kansas Mutual. Holders of policies In the Kansas Mil-, tual will pay their premiums in the usual way, and they will be receiptee! lor by the proper officers. It is riot believed that the officers of the Kansas Union, or Kansas Mutual, will appeal from Judge Hook's decision. President J. P. Davis said to a reporter for the State Journal: "We can't tell yet what will be done about an appeal. I feel that Judge Hook has been misinformed as to our motives. I do not think we merited uch pevere criticism as he gave us. We tried to follow out his suggestions and adopted what appeared to be the only possible method. We needed addi tional money in the business, and the only way to secure the f 100,000 was to sell stock and give the stockholders con trol of the company. "I am confident that the difficulty will all be adjusted, and that some way will be found for the Kansas Mutual to con tinue in business." One of the attorneys for the companj said: "The case will not be appealed it some plan of reorganization can be agreed upon which is satisfactory. But if they try to force something on us we do not want, the case will certainly be appealed. I think Judge Hook went too far in criticising the officers of the company." Wm. VV. Hooper, the newly appointed receiver, is a comparatively young man, and will no doubt be more actively in control of the company than would ex -Governor Morrill. Mr. Hooper will probably give up part of his Leaven worth business, and devote most of his time to the supervision of the business of the company. In conversation with a reporter for the State Journal Mr. Hooper said "Just what plan of reorganization can be evolved it is impossible to say. There are many things to be considered. When the receivers, or trustees, in conjunction with the court, have fixed upon a plan which seems advisable, it will be. sub mitted to the policy holders of the Kan sas Mutual Life Insurance comj.ny, and they will be given an opponunity to vote for its acceptance or rejection. The existence of the Kansas Union Life Insurance company is not affected by this move. That company is a growing concern, and -will continue to exist." It is claimed by the officers and attor neys of the Kansas Mutual that the Duggan suit is backed by agents of rival insurance companies, who hope to force the Kansas Mutual to go out of busi ness and reinsure all its risks in some eastern company. They claim that the suit is for the purpose of driving a Kan sas institution to the wall for the benefit of foreign concerns. At pl conference held Wednesday afternoon after Judge Hook had read his opinion, the attorneys asked Judge Hook to suggest some way by which the Kansas Mutual Life Insurance company eould be reorganized as a mutual con cern, and at the same time comply with the law by having $100,000 capital. Judge Hook said: "Gentlemen. 1 have nothing to say about that. It is too big a question for me to undertake to discuss." In his opinion Judge Hook had dis tinctly stated that he would not attempt to pass on the question of whether art insurance company can legally transact business in Kansas without a capital stock. Some people believe that it will be impossible to effect a legal organization of the Kansas Mutual without trans forming it into a stock company, -and the only way the directors could find to do this is by Judge Hook's decision declared invalid. It is therefore a question whether or not th receivers will not be forced to sell off the assets of the company, and pay the policy holder?, in proportion to' the amount they have paid in.

Representative Linton is working hard to secure the passage of his amendment to the ballot law. It provides for doing away with the square after the words "No nomination," the same as Beving ton's bill, but it goes further and pro vides for the use of a rubber stamD it making the cross on t'te ballots. It pro vides that there shall be a little rubber stamp "X" in each booth in the place of the usual lead pencil. "A large number of ballots -were thrown out in' my county simply be cause the cross was not made right," said Mr. Linton today. "If an old man who could not see well let the lines of his cross run over outside of the square it was not counted, or if it wasn't a good cross it was also thrown out. Some business men marked their ballots with a fountain pen or an indelible pencil, and those were thrown out. Mv bill provides for using a rubber stamp, which would obviate all these mistakes.'" TRY TO KEEP THEM. Topeka Doesn't' Want to Lose Santa Fe Division. The announcement that the Santa Fe division offices will be moved to Em poria and thereby deprive Topeka of the Importance of a division point and also of the people who are employed in the offiee of Division Superintend ent McClellan. has aroused the Com mercial club to action. It was given out today that they would use every means in their power to induce the Santa Fe officials to allow Topeka to retain the division offices. John F. Frost, president of the club, called a meeting of the directors this morning at 11 o'clock and the matter was discussed from every standpoint. It was finally decided to appoint a committee of three to call on Mr. Mudge, Mr. Hurley and several other Santa Fe officials and discuss the mat ter with them and see if they would try to use their influence in trying to arrange some system by which the of fices would be allowed to remain in Topeka. Major T. J. Anderson said this morn ing that the majority of the people of Topeka do not realize what the employ ment of twenty-five more men means to the city. "It simply means," said M'ajor Ander son, "that Topeka has twenty-hve more citizens, which number does its part in increasing the population, that that many more homes will be built in Topeka, that the money paid the men will be put into circulation in Topeka and that the town would receive innu merable small benefits from it that go to make up the welfare of a city. Of course in this rasp, the change would only involve about twenty-five men, but we will put up just as strong- a right for the division offices as we would for a larger concern. "After a good deal of exertion on our part we have just succeeded in securing the Klizabeth Bridge company for To peka. This com; at-y will employ only about thirty men but it means that just that many more Topeka men will find employment. It is just the same in the case of the Santa Fe division offices. We will do everything in our power to bring about the retention of the offices." The Santa Fe division offices employ about twenty-five men. sixteen of whom have families. Several of them own homes in Topeka and it would be very inconvenient for them to have to "sell their homes and move to Emporia. The pay roll of the oflices amounts to about $2,700 monthly. The committee which is to call on General Manager Mudge is composed of the following gentlemen: J. S. Sproat, E. II. Crosby and J. S. Warner. One ptominent railroad man connected with the operating department declares the division can be operated to much better advantage from Topeka than from Emporia, because of the better wire and other facilities here. He be lives the removal is based on some sen timent rather than business and that the office should be retained here both for business and sentiment. DAWES BEAD.

His Peculiar Position Just Now in Delaware. Addicks has attracted the attention of the whole country, and his name has been coupled with all the injurious ex pressions in the dictionary. "'Corrup tionist," "boss," "bully," "upstart" and "buyer of votes and legislatures" are a few of the milder epithets. There ought to- be an impression, if there isn't, that that redoubtable financier and statesman is covered with piratical scowls and whiskers, goes armed, swigs mitrhtily from the leather bottle... smokes gunpowder and roars double, damns in a way to shake the steeples; yet. they say he is a human sort of per son, whose principal vanity is a. mous tache like a pair of wings; that he shud ders before a cocktail or a cold lKttle, that he neither smokes the weed nor eats it, that he is temperate in most of his virtues, giver of glad hands and moderately attentive to business thai keeps him in northern cities on many days when he is supposed to be crac k ing- the whip of authority about the wincing legs of Delaware the state where they still whip for wrong-doing.

Ami, noticing the unprotected condition of Delaware, he hurried from Boston and became lord of its hun dreds. You have to stop here to have it explained to you that, instead of calling it a township, Delawareans call it a hundred. The name comes down from Alfred the Great, in whose days the hundred families. or hundred householders, were a sort of political unit, the fine for a crime being asses sed on the hundred among whom it oc curred: a good idea, too, for it turned M of the lot into policemen. But there are not police enough in Delaware to keep people from voting for Addicks. Nor is there a detective in the whole state who nas discovered people taking money for doing it. The awf ulness of Deiawares corruption grows more awful as you get away from it. When you go through the state it doesn't take lone it isn't awful a hit. It is one of the United Stale, and consists principally of ground: hut to read what is said of it tine would surmise that it was cine of the provinces of hades unci eonsis' ed mostly of dishonest coin. It is a bash ful state, intruding on public notice lo the extent of only a couple of thousand fepjare miles and a population of lNe. and, as you wander through the lofty hails- of its capital, you do not see printed reminders like these on the wails: "Pub lic office is not a private? snap.

RAILROADS FIGHT HARD. Employes Battle Equally Strong on Other Side for Airbrakes. Washington, Feb. 5. Between the brotherhoods of railway employes and some of the railroads of the country ft great struggle is going on in the lobbies of the house of representatives over the pending bill re-enacting the law regard ing the use of airbrakes and automatic couplers on freight trains. The law was practically nullified by the decision of the United States circuit court of appeals, and the railroad em ployes, who number several hundred thousand, have brought forward another proposition, which will put the use of automatic couplers into effect so that it cannot be Questioned. This bill has been passed by the sen ate, and is now on the calender of the house, having been reported favorably by Mr. Wagner of Pennsylvania front, the committee on interstate and foreign commerce. The railroad owners contend that it will entail a hardship and extraordi nary expense on them. The employes say that unless there is some further legislation the whole scheme for protect ing the lives of trainmen, which ha been in force since 1S93 and has reduced V "'t 4 5 e iiim i immhimm n the number cf casualties 6S per cent, in the number of those killed and SI per cent, in the number of those injured, will become a dead letter.

Goodrich Company Said to Want North Land and North West. Milwaukee, Feb. 5. In Buffalo, the home of the beautiful North hand and Northwest, there is a report to the effect that the Goodrich company of Milwaukee is negotiating- for the pur chase of these vessels. There are said to be three bidders for the boats, and that one of the three is almost certain to t;et them. The last of the James J. Hill lake proprietors with the exception of these boats were sold 1-st week, and it is believed that the sale of the North Lanii tind the North "West will be con summated soon. T. V. Newman of Cleveland is mentioned as the first of the bidders, the Pennsylvania Railroad company the second and the Goodrich company the third. Buffalo is much concerned lest the boats pass into hands that will cause them to be run out of some other port. If they ar purchased by the Goodrich compTv. -d helieved they will be run out of Chicasro. If Newman frets them it is fiRtired that the boats will be run between Cleveland and Duluth. and if the Penn sylvania gf-ls them they will be run from P.uffalo up the lakes. The Buffalo report is that a represen tative of the Goodrich company and of William L.. Brown of the American Ship Buildine- company, jointly, is in Buffalo in belialt ot those wnom he rep resents. Th negotiations are beinc conducted with prfat secrecy in Buffalo and there is much uncertainty bout the whole matter. Midway Suit Settled. The suit of Patterson Brainard agrainst L.

Low Wages Cause a Shortage of Miners. Operator Johnson Complains About the Railroads. Shortage of Fuel Charged to Situation In East. Gust Johnson, president of the West ern Fuel company, the organization which controls most of the Osage coal which comes to Topeka, testified before the coal famine investigation commit tee today. This company handles about half the output of the Osage mines, according to Mr. Johnson's tes timony. It was brought out that the cost o production of Osage coal has increased from Jl.70 a ton in 189S to 2.27Vi in 1902. In 1901 the cost of production was $2.16 a ton. The average selling price was $2.39. Now the Western Fuel company is charging $2.75 a ton. This is an in crease of 23 cents over a year ago. A3 to retail prices, Mr. Johnson said he knew nothing about them except iu Topeka. At first he said the increase in the local price in Topeka was thi same as that at the mine, but after wards he said the local price has been advanced more. A year ago it wan $3.75 and $4.00 and now it is $4.50 and $4.75. Mr. Johnson blamed the railroads for confiscating coal. He said it was a very usual thing for the railroads to do, not only thin year, but previous years. The Rock iFland, he said, took more coal of his than other railroads. Me thought this was because the Kock Is land had little coal of its own on its lines and is compelled to buy. Conse quently it finds coal hard to get. The output of the Western Fuel com pany has been keeping up and in 1902 was 15,420 tons, while it was 14,602 tons in 1901. Mr. Johnson thought the railroads could have put up coal in the summer. The operators, he said, could not store Osage coal, because it slacks and cannot he handled without going to pieces. This, he said, does not interfere with its burn ing, but interferes with its shipment. Concerning his opinion as to the cause of the coal famine, Senator Noftzger asked Mr. Johnston: "You realize that there has heit a shortage in the coal supply durio;r the last two or three months, do you?" "Oh, yes," replied the witness. "How do you explain this condition?" "Heretofore about two-thirds of all the commercial coal consumed in Kansas has been shipped in from Pennsylvania, Colorado, the Indian Territory and other states. The shortage in the east has cut off most of this outside supply and there has been a far greater demand for Kansas coal." "Why don't we get as much from the Indian Territory as before?" "The operators say there is none to be had. The shortage is so great that it is drawing on the western supply." "Does it affect Colorado coal?" "I don't know about that." "Has there been an increased con sumption of coal?" "Yes. the demand has increased more than the production." "Is the? any way for you to tell how murh the consumption lias increased?" "No, the Osage mines furnish a small amount of the total consumption." "Is there any other reason for the shortage besides the shortage in the east?" "No. none that I know of." "Why has not the production kept up with tlie increased consumption?" "Well, in any industry it takes some time for the production to follow an in creased demand." -Why can't you get out coal in the summer and store It?" "The operators can't do it because it slacks and then there is too much dust about it. The consumer can put it in his coal house and keep it, but the mines can't do it." "Why can the consumer and not the operators?" "It can't be handled and shipped after it lies for several months. It burns all right, but if the operators store it and then try to ship it. it falls to powder." "The price of coal is good now, isn't it?" "No. we are making less money than we did five years ago." Senator McMillan tried to probe the matter of a combine among operators. "Do you know of any association of operators for the purpose, of controlling prices?" he asked. "No, not to control prices." "Are you a member of any associa tion of operators for any purpose?" "I am not now. but I have been." "What was the object of that as sociation "Just for mutual benefit. There was no particular understanding onprices." Representative Ptavely then a?kerl Mr. Johnson to give tiie items which go to make the cost of producing a ton of coal. Instead Mr. Johnson gave the following statement of the business ot the Western Fuel company for the past five years: S9S Production. 13.040 tons. Cost, $1.70 a ton on car, which includes all expense, including traveling salesmen, but does not include losses orf account of bad credits. Average selling price, $1.8-4 a ton. Profit, 14 cents a ton. 199 Production, 15,999 tons. Cost. $1.94. Average selling price, $2.12. Net profit, 17 cents a ton. 19U0 Production. 14.485 tons, Cost. $2.09-2. Average selling price, $2.21.

Average selling price, $2.39-V Profit, 12Vs cents a ton. These figures, while of interest, did not answer Mr. Stavely's question as to what items go into th? cost of pro duction, and the question was renewed. It brought out the following figures: Mining, $1.50 a ton: pushing, 12 cents; royalty, 10 cents: other employes, de ficiency work, and miscellaneous ex penses. 55 cents a ton. D. II.

The jury in the Will Sloitzman murder case has re turned a verdict of not guilty after being out L'O hours. There are rumors that other arrests may be made. The case has been Hie most excitim? one in the history of the county. On the morning- of September 17, 190, R. J. Morrison, an old man, was found dead in his store at Pawnee, a small village 12 miles south of Fort Scott. He had been beaten over the head with a heavy club which was found near the body, and his throat had been cut with a cheese knife used in the store. About $6eo in money, which the old man kept secreted in his store, was missing. Young Stoit.man, v ho was suspected of the crime, was station asent of the Frisco railroad at Pawnee. Tile evidence against him was circum stantial, ft was shown that he had a quarrel with Mori lion and had made threat against him. Telegrams telling of the crime, hied with him by the sher iff on the morning after the murder, were held until after ti o'clock that ev ening:. A black silver dollar, pas,sed by Stolt.man on the morning after the murder, was identified as one received at the Morrison store that evenine be fore the murder. A shot sack, eoniai--incr over $JO0 among w hich w as a largre number of pennies, was found under the corn bin at the Stoltznra:i home, and this money was identified as part of the stolen money. A bloody hat was also found in a corn shock on the Stoltzman place which was shown to belong: to one of the fam ily. The defense was a general denial and an attempt to ereate the impression that the hat and the money were placed where they were found by the real murderer to cast suspicion upon Stolz man. During the week that the trial has been in proe-ress the court room has been crowded every day. mostly by women, and hundreds have been, turned a way. Worn n would D'ak" up parties and take their dinner to the court room in order to hold their seats. Stoltzman is a. boyish looking fellow and the sympa thy of the crowd has been with him.

Chicago bowling teams w hich have been striving: to beat the 1.10S single game team score, made by the Empires of New York, in the hopes of winning the Mussey medals offered to the local five able to do this, will be disappointed to find that an eastern aggregation has succeeded in establishing a new mark. Samuel Karpf, secretary of the Amer ican Bowling congress, wired W. V. Thompson, vice president of the organi zation, that an eastern team had broken the 1,103 mark. Immediately the local man started an investigation, nothing' being known of the feat here. The Daily News wired Secretary Karpf for his authority, and was referred to Harry Montgomery of Newark, N. J., the cap tain of the team which rolled the 1.132 which is claimed for record. In response to this Captain Montgom ery wired back the following: Newark. N. J., Feb. 5. World's record for a single game is claimed by the Montgomery bowling team of this c ity, which, on January a), rolled a total of 1.1K No loaded balls were used, the alleys were strictly regulation ami the pins weighed three and one-quarter pounds eac h.

This is a question bow lers are asking, rumors of new marks having been established having leached their ears this morning. From the east comes a whisper that a team in Newark. N. J., has roiled 1.132, while a story from Humboldt, Iowa, conveys the information tiiat the Holfe team of that place has done an 1.165 "stunt." The eastern story, however, is given more credence because it first came from Sam Karpf, secretary of the American Bowling' congress. Harry F.

The slave trade is again flourishing in Mindanao province in the Philippines, according to mail ad vices brought by a. Manila steamer. According to an authentic report the Davao Moros have become unusually active of late in reviving their old cus tom of slave trading despite the display of military forces in Mindanao by the Americans. Bands of this tribe have made numerous raids upon the weaker tribes of the interior and carried away many of their number, men, women and children, and they have been sold in bondage at the slave market in Davao. The trading is carried on as secretly as possible, but slaves can be easily ob tained by Metros. Chinese, Spaniards or anyeme else who will buy. Americans who returned to Manila recently from Moroland report that the presidenle of Davao has full knowledge of this illegal traffic in human flesh, but that he is afraid to interfere lest the Moros combine to defeat his re-election as presidente, which is near at hand. He is said to be fully informed as to the raids on the weaker tribes of the in terior, but has so far made no effort to stpp the' outlawry. The greneral con ditions f the slaves is filthy. They get a sufficient ciuantity of food, and their owners only beat them on rare occa sions. Their heads are kept closely shaved as a better means of identifica tion in the event of their escape. The oniy case in which the military has in terfered is where one of the slave own ers heat a stave and the matter was re ported to the commanding officer. tine of the incidents of this slave trade is reooi'ted in the sale of a beautiful slave girl to an American soldier. She was captured in a raici.in an inlana town, and sold at auction in the market x v N. p. -c at Maker, where a soldier bid her in for f SO in gold. The fiitl was kept in cap tivity until the regiment was ordered to I another station, and she was disposed 1 of to a Chinese for 20 in gold. The l Chinaman still owns her. In the same connection is fold storio? i of virtual slave driving- on the part of the padres also in Mindanao. Priests in i that district. are said to be impressing the natives for the construction of t churches, and the municiTial presidenteM are said to be assisting in the illegal 1 practice. i At Catel, province of Surig-ao, some time ago. the priest and the presidento of the municipality made a levy on all the ablebodied men in that vicinity anel compelled each man to give four days' latxtr to building- of a church edifice in Catel. Those who did not care to work were notified that they could get out of it by paying to the padre three pesos, and if he refused to either work or pay would receive twenty lashes as punish ment.

And there will be a great pillar or cloud before its. for we will go on special trains and none will be able to resist the mighty host of Zion." John Alexander Dowie so heralded to his hearers at Ihe Auditorium the crmiing invasion of Gotham. Bike a trained chorus the 4.Cv-a persons who heard him shouted. "We will.-' when he asked them if they would follow. "It will be the greatest army of the Ford ever gathered. The e-rusaders of olden times can not be compared with it. And under me, who never has met de ftat. we will win victory." "Elijah H" said then that he had cleansed Chicago that was why he wan changing his base of operations. But a minute later he declared this city to be the vilest place man ever knew. "I will not. leave it wholly. Trusty sol diers of Xion will stay behind to prevent its people from falling: into their old ways. Already newspapers, learning: through their spies of my plans, are showing their heads out of their holes where they took refuge when I drove them there, after proving: their fearful wicktxfncss. But I wiil stamp my heed upon them and so seal them into their graves forever before I leave this place." Iowie did not particularize in giving hia plans. Be said two mammoth tabernacles, "heretofore given over to worldly amuse ments" had been secured in New York, as well as accommodations for thousands of workers. "So be ready when I call. At least 3.(tS of you must go with me. We will go in the'finest of cars, drawn by the swiftest of engines and for once there will be a line of Christians from this Sodom in the west to that tioroarrah in the east. After w have done our work there we may build another .ion. but always the gTand tem ple will remain upon the beautiful shores of Lake Michigan." Growth of Balina Postal Force. Salina, Kas., Feb. 5. Fifteen years ago this week the free delivery of mall was established in Salina.

Rising is the only one of the present carrier force who has been employed as a car rier since the establishment of the serv ice. Beloit Items. There will be eighteen scholars in the Beloit high school graduating class this year. The people of Beloit are highly pleased with their excellent school systeMn. Universal regret is expiessed at the resignation of Rev. T. H. Shane from the pastorate of the Presbyterian church of Beloit. During" the five or six years he has resided in that city he has en deared himself in the hearts of not only bis l.irge congregation, but all the peo ple of Beloit as well. It is his inten tion of taking the pastorate of the? Presbyterian church in Jopiin, Mo. The Spirtualists of r.orth eentral Kansas expect to get a camp located this year in Beloit. and are actively at work to make the meeting to be held here some time in the summer a large affair. 5hny prominent Spiritualists from Kansas and other st.ites have signified a willingness to be present.

QUIET IN WATEUBURY. Cars unci "Wagons Run on Schedule Time Today. Waterbury, Conn.. Feb. 5. A heavy rain which began before daylight had a quieting effect on the situation. It served to keep the streets clear of crowds and the police and state troops welcomed it as an effective aid in their work for the preservation of the peace. The coming- of nightfall is awaited with apprehension, which the city and mili tary officials make no pretense of con cealing. Wednesday is pay day lor the thousands of factory workers and on that night of the week the streets are usually filled with promenading throngs, Ealoons do the liveliest busi ness and dance halls and other amuse ment places are crowded. The oppor tunities for most disorder in view of the conditions have not been overlooked by the authorities and fears are expressed that tonight may bring- much trouble. Precautions in anticipation of this were begun at the conference between Brigadier General Frost, Captain Ben ham and Chief of Police Egan. They determined to employ every means at their command to cope with the situa tion and it was announced today that night w ill see the city and the car lines more thoroughly guarded than ever before. The cars of the company and the wagons of the strikers ran on their usual schedules today with the 'bus lines having the better of it so far a patronage was concerned. In spite of the rain few people ventured to ride on the cars. Reports from all the guarded districts showed that the quiet condi tions which prevailed after "midnight continued after the early part of the day. There was a flurry of excitement shortly after midnight when a report was circulated that a car had been dynamited in the Waterville district. Investigation, however, showed this story to be entirely without foundation. Racing at New Orleans. New Orleans, Feb. 5. Kilogram, Sheriff Bell and Pyrrho were the win ning favorites. The latter was run up to $l,o00 after his race and bought in. The weather was cloudy and cool and the track heavy. Closed Thirty-Year Army Record. Fort Riley. Kas., Feb. 5.

Th news is received Jn the State .Tour tr! building over wires for tills sola pur pose, busy throughout the entire day. A complete copy c the night report is also teceived. Minister Bowen's spine isn't showing any symptoms of curvature. Anyhow, Mr. Joseph L. Bristow Isn't like the man who hasn't a job waiting for him. It is rumored that the Topeka joint Is' are recovering from the shock to their nervous systems. The Chinese evidently will not learn fcy experience or they would not be planning another uprising. The suggestion that the convicts be put to work building a state road is a ftood one and ought to be adopted. There won't be a great deal of sleep lost, even if the biennial plan for a con etituttonal convention does fall through. Th" talking- contest between Cham pion James J. Jeffries and James J.

This is said for the benefit of people who think Kansas, gets all the luxuries. i Tiie cigarette will not be an issue in ttie Topeka mayoralty campaign. The only andidate who used them has re formed. It would be a relief to the public if the sheep herders and cattlemen in Wtomins would fight it out and then subside. The Topeka society man who said that the Welsh rarebit causes more sleep less nights than strong drink may not be far wrong. The legislative coal investigation is at last at work. The coal men have had time to fix up a pretty good story about the fuel famine. Tiie sib nee that has settled over Rep resentative Johnny King Is becoming painful. Can't he do something for an expectant public. Maseagni, the Italian composer, con ducted a concert in Kansas City and no effort was made to arrest him. He must be getting: lonesome. It is stated on pood authority that no Assistant superintendents of ventilation have been appointed by either brancn of the legislature this week. It is hup.-d that the old Kansas Mutual Insurance company will sur vne ils latest blow. There is no rea son it should not succeed.

The man wiio says that the axolotl is found only in Topeka joint products is mistaken. Mr. Howard will make affi davit that iie found this one in his cis tern at Russell.

Lane, the astute Philadel phia politician, was recently watching congress at work. "They used to do things better in the old days in the Pennsylvania legislature." he said. "I remember once, when Bob Mackey was boss in Pennsylvania, he walked into the senate chamber and found one of his henchmen, who was a senator, in the midst of a terrific assault on some biil. The senator was making mincemeat of the measure. He advanced argument after argument showing why it was iniquitous and should not be passed. Mackey ased of another senator: 'What bill's that?' When he was told. Mackey exclaimed: 'Good heavens, that's my bill!" Mackey walked down the aisie. and as he passed the speaker he said, in a hoarse whisper: 'That's my bill." The senator never winked. He finished his sentence, paused, took a drink of water and then resumed. 'These, gentle men, are the arguments the opponents of this bill wiil advance. These are the miserable subterfuges by which the op position will endeavor to stifle the will of the people. I have given them in de tail, so you may know how weak their ease is, and I will now proceed to show you why- this bill should have the vote of every patriotic man in the chamber. And he did," concluded Lane. "He made the hottest kind of a speech for the bill and passed it." A Victory for Honesty. Detroit Free Press: The re-election of Henry M. Teller to the United States senate by the legisla ture of Colorado is something more than a personal or a party victory. It is a victory for political honesty. The legis lature, as elected in November, bad a majority of ten Democrats on the joint ballot; but. no sooner were the returns in than the Republican leaders con ceived a scheme of stealing enough seats to enable them to steal the sena torship. But for the factional fight in the Re publican party the programme could probably have been carried out in spite of the thieving audacity of it. The in ability of the Wolcott Republicans and the antl-Weleott Republicans to agres prevented the plundering of the sena torship and enabled the Democratic ma jority to express the will of the people by returning Mr. Teller to the United States senate. The Republican party is to be congratulated on the. result. It can better afford to lose a senatorship than to gain one that is tainted with fraud. Judge) Parker's Prospects. Providence Journal: If Judge Parker had been elected governor of New York he would have been unquestionably the foremost can didate for the Democratic: presidential nomination now. If Mr. Coler had been elected it is by no means certain that he (Coler) would have occupied that flat tering position. In other words. Judge Parker is a stronger man than Mr. Coler. He has made a dignified record as the chief Justice of the highest New York court, and he has the enviable advantage of having carried the state the year after the MeKinley landslide of W.S by a large plurality. We are not much more than a year from the nomi nating conventions, so that the various Democratic presidential booms are be coming more interesting, and at the present moment the men chiefly spoken of in connection with the Democratic nomination are Mr. Olney, Arthur Pue Gorman and Judge Parker. The Typographical Union Lectures. Baltimore Newa: The Baltimore Typographical Union 's carrying on a most commendable enter prise in it.s series of Sunday afternoon lectures upon important economic sub jects. The lirsr lecture of 1 he series was given last month by Professor Hollander, and do;i!t with the large question of the relation between economic theory and the practieai interents of workingmen. Tomorrow afternoon Dr. George F. Bar nett of the department of political econ omy in Johns Hopkins university. will speak on "Trusts and Their Develop ment." After the lecture' questions and discussion will be In order. Nothing could Vie more conducive to the growth ot a broad siarit among the members ot the union, and of intelligent comprehen sion of matters about which we areVtll thinking a great deni nowadays thaa such a series of leetures and discussions as the typographical union has insti tuted. It is to he hoped that the interest shown in them will lie such as 1o secure a lonff and prosperous continuance of the enterprise. Bast month's meeting was a great success, and fir. Barnett's talk to morrow is sure to be highly interesting and ii.st: ucti e. Coal Market Conditions Changing. Cleveland Leader: Wh re ihe coal famine was worst the change fur the better is most marked. At New York, for example, where the price of soft coal was more than $8 a ton a few weeks hko, the market quotation for anthracite has fallen to S7.ee at retail, and the demand is not very pressing ;lt that tigore. Ail the tendencies of the trade are toward lower prices. Coal is leginning to accumulate in the yards at the seaboard cities, and with production going on at the pace lately maintained fuel will surely lie cheaper, before long, ail over the coun try. Meanwhile, the weather has turned mill aiain, in the greater part of the iwirth. and lite fear of absolute lack of fuel. which was so intense and common a fortnight i since, has largely died out. Hence there is much less urgent buying of coal for the needs of the future, and dealers are not i beset in the way they were early in Jan uary. In a few weeks, with ordinary c'i j niatie conditions, the change in the coal situation will be much more markol. and the country can consider the daiifyr of a ruinous scarcity of fuel past, provided that the mine owners and the minera reach an amicable agreement as to Ihe scale of v.agi s in the soft coal fields for I the year beginning with April, i When the pressure for coal abates the j country will go its way with fast increas ins indifference to the conditions which brought about the troubles of the pest few mouths. A minority will continue to try i to correct evils and put en end to dancers which have been felt latterly this, winter.

Carnegie's Eulogy Before X. Y. Chamber of Commerce. New Y'ork, Feb. a. Business was suspended by the New York chamber of commerce today, and a memorial ser vice held in honor of Abrant S. Hewitt. Mayor Low introduced resolutions. Andrew Carnegie seconded the resolu tion, saying: "Mr. President and Gentlemen: We meet today in commemorative service of a fellow member, a great and good man. Men who attain prominence among their fellows as he did, are of two classes, those of whom it is said of death, "the evil that men do lives after them," and those of whom we j say with holy fervor, "the good men do j lives after them." The evil survives after death in the first class because i it 'predominated their life; these labor-! ed m their day for ignoble ends by ignoble means. Members "of this class? are found in every field of human ac tivity in public and in private life, in the professions as well as in the world of business. "In public life they stood for what was popular because that led to the eleva tion of self, not for what was right or beneficial. The end sought, not the ad vance of city, state, nation or people but personal triumph. Intercourse with others bred no esteem, no friendship, much less affection.

BAILEY TALKS In Coal Investigation the Ilailroads. Scares At a Quarter of 2 o'clock this after noon Governor Bailey was put on tht witness stand before the coal famine in vestigation committee. Governor Bail ey's testimony had to do with the short age ot coal at the state institutions. He stated that within the past two days he had received reports of shortage of coal at the Tofieka insane asylum, the Win field imhe ile asylum and at the Dodge City soldiers' home. Yesterday Supt. Biddle of the Topeka asylum had to go on the local market and buy a car o coal at market rates. At the rresent time the insane asylum has but one day's supply on hand. Governor Bailey stated that the shortage resulted from the nondelivei V and confiscation of coal by railroads and from the lack of care in providing the state institutions against cold weather. In discussing the matter Mr. Bailey said: "There should be a law compelling the railroads to pay a large excess upon coal confiscated by them in the ease oi emergency. The railroads do not take care to provide themselves with coai. because in emergency they can con fiscate coal en route to the point of con signment. In the course of his testimony Gover nor Bailey said "I do not believe enough coal is con fiscated by the railroads to make the difference in the amount of coal at the disposal of the public. The great mis take is that more coal Is not laid by at the different state institutions during the summer. Warden Jewett says that more coal has been mined at the state penitentiary during December and Jan uary. 1902-"03, than there was during the same months of 1901-'02." Mr. Pailey exhibited letters sent by W. K. Hodges, purchasing agent of the Panta Fe. to Warden Jewett of the state penitentiary, notifying him of the ron con- fiscation of :ou cars of coal consigned to Topeka. Dodge City and WlnfieW.

Now that Senator Fred Dumont Smith expects to go to congress from the Sev enth congressional district, the friends of H. AY. Crass of LaCrosse are boom ing him for senator from the Thirty eighth senatorial district to succeed Smith. Grass is a banker at LaCrosse and he would like to be senator. Some of the fusionists want to run Repi esentaive S. I. Hale, also of La Crosse. for senator, and as the district is close they think he could be elected. Hale's friends have been starting all ports of political booms for him, but thus far he has said nothing about them, except to put a quietus on his congressional boom. It has been report ed that he will be a candidate for rail road commissioner th coming spring to succeed J. X. Fike. the Democratic member of the board. Concerning the senatorial matter he said today. "I do not know whether I would run for senator or not. It depends some what on other matters. Mr. Grass is one of my best personal friends and 1 wouldn't like to run against him. but if I should I would do my best to beat him." FEW QUAIL IN OKLAHOMA. Result of Three Years of Incessant j Slaughter by Pot Hunters. Guthrie. Okla.. Feb. 5. Three years I afro quail were so plentiful in Oklahoma that they could be hunted successfully I almost in the outskirts of the larger 1 towns. Great bevies made the country bines their playground and could be shot in abundance by passing travelers. I Thickets and lields were alive with i plump birds, and an afternoon's hunt filled the bags of even ordinary sports t men. The ease with which quail could be killed, the seemingly inexhaustible sup ply and the demand for game In city markts led many persons to turn pot hunters. A merciless slaughter began, and hundreds of thousands of quail were sent to market at a cost of between 50 and 75 cents a dozen. Large numbers were netted and shipped alive. There were no adequate -game laws to protect the birds, and the whistling Bob Whites grew scarcer and scarcer io the fields. This season found eastern Okla homa practically without quail. Only in the remoter and less thickly settled western counties, where the pot-hunter I had not gone, could the hunter find good the rate of 10 per cent a year.

But i the penalities for violating the law were I not severe: the wardens had not been I educated to regard the shipment of game, especially by a friendly pot-hunt-t pr, as a grave offense, and the whole I sale slaughter of quail remained un j cheeked till this year. j The scarcity of quail last fall was so I great that sportsmen began clamoring I for protection fo- the birds, some urg ir.g that the law be changed to prohibit 1 the killing of quail at any time in the next two years, while others recom mended that a former law prohibiting the sale of game, even in local markets, be re-em-.eted. The protests against pot hunters grew so formidable that game wardens were spurred into doing their duty, and enormous quantities of game have been confiscated from rail road and express companies. In one seizure 3t Knid. Oklahoma. several days ago "o.uoo quail and pr iir.v chickens were found by wardens. A few days later another consignment al- most as larr1 was seized at Alva. HI: where in Oklahoma wardens have been rnakii:sr similar hauls for weeks. The quantity r'f game seized is small com pared with the quantities that have escaped ,the wardens and reached northern and "eastern markets. The chief warden and his county dep uties receive no salaries but are permit ted to keep the proceeds from the sales of confiscated game. Sometimes the game is not sold, but given awsv. and then every body in town who knows the warden feasts on quail. At other times the game is saturated with kerosene, and so made unsalable. Objection is made to the sale of confiscated game, for the reason that often it is purchased by dealers and shipped to outside mar kets, if they can elude the wardens. The methods of the pot hunter In kill ing quail in Oklahoma are curious. Much of the hunting is done at night, and often there are a score of hunters in a singHe party. A bell is fastened to the collar of a well-trained dog and he is sent into the fields where the birds roost. The dog can be followed by the tinkling of the bell, and when the bell stops tinkling the hunters know that the dog has made a stand. A bullseye lantern reveals his location and also the birds, which stand huddled close together, blinded by the glare of the lantern. The pot hunter steps to the right range and7 usually, with one barrel kills the entire bevy. Even thouch wounded birds will flutter into the grass, a good retriever will get every bird. In western Oklahoma this season one) party of pot hunters is known to have killed 3,000 quail in a single night SUBSIDIES AND ALL. Postofiice Appropriation Passes the House. Bill Washington. Feb. 5.

Parmalee Prentice, tiw news of whose birth has been so carefully guarded from the pub-, lie. has a fortune so stupendous that even grown men cannot appreciate the magnitude of the riches which he will enjoy. It seems strange to say that his wealth is so great as to be beyond hu man comprehension. Nevertheless such is the case. His grandfather, John D. Rockefeller, is now estimated to be worth $1,001,000, 000. This srreat fortune is inereaslnr at well nigh inconceivable amount. This share will amount., roughlv, to $2,508, 333,032. BHIDE SAILED AWAY With the Aeronaut and Prater Hasn't Seen Her Since. Ashland. Ky.. Feb. 5. Henry Prater, who up to a few weeks ago made his home in Letcher county, has given up his farm and is searching for his young bride, who, he alleges, eloped in a most novel manner a month or so ago. Prater, who stopped in Ashland a few hours last nisrht, tells the following story: Several years ago a man and woman were passing through the country ac companied by a pretty, bright girl of t eight years. The couple stopped with an oio tarmer, w no va inucn pieasea with the girl, her air of refinement be- mg totally at variance with the couple j she was with. 1 he man and woman seemed to care noinin" tor tne child, and offered to give her to the old farm er, who gladly accepted and adopted the child as his own. The girl grew to be a beautiful woman, and, despite the s3 c O if!. No appetite, loss of strength, nervous ness, headache, constipation, bad breath, general debility, sour risings, and catarrh of the stomach are ail due to indigestion. Kodol cures indigestion. This new discovery repre sents the natural juices of digestion as they exist in a healthy stomach, combined with the greatest known tonic and reconstructive properties. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure does not only cure indigestion and dyspepsia, but this famous remedy cures ail stomach troubles by cleansing, purifying, sweetening and strenglhening the mucous membranes iir.ir.j the stomach.

CHICAGO questions of her foster father, refused to reveal her past history, but said she would disappear some day. Prater loved the girl, and finally per suaded her to marry him. She appeared to be perfectly happy, but one day a show came to a nearby town on the L. E. railway, and a balloon ascension was one of the attractions. The balloon ist, in a spirit of gallantly and banter asked if some lady would like to take a trip with him in the air. adding that there was no danger. The young bride eagerly volunteered, and soon the aer- i onauts were lost to view in the clouds. The spectators waited In vain for their descent to the earth, and from that day to this they have never been heard from. The balloon was found uninjured, but the woman and man have disappeared as completely as If the earth had opened and closed upon them. The unfortunate hUFband thinks his wife is still living and that she is with the man wii ii whom she so mysteriously disappeared. HORSES ON LIMITED. J. H. Sloore Takes Two Car Loads With II im. J. H. Moore.-one of the Moore broth ers, the principal owners of the Rock Is land railroad, went through Topeka this afternoon with his family on the Golden State Limited. He was also accom panied by his secretary, Mr. Burton. Mr. Moore refused to talk for publi cation. He was on his way to San Diego. Cat, where the family wi'l re main several weeks on a vacation trip. Included in the train were two cars of coach horses belonging to Mr. Moore, which tl'.e family will use during their stay in California. SAYS IIE WAS RORBED. John Herron, an Old Soldier, Tells Story of Footpads. John Herron, an old soldier, told the police that he was robbed on the Sixth avenue viaduct about a o'clock last night by two men. who secured all the money he had except some small change in another pocket. The haul amounted to $2:. He says that he was walking on the viaduct going east when two men came up behind him. One of them, the tallest one, threw his arms around the old man. pinioning his arms to his side The shorter man hastily searched the victim's pockets and found the pocket book containing $2fi. After telling hint to make no outcry Herron says they turned and walked rapidly away. Herron says he intended to go to the Soldiers' Home at Leaven worth tomor row, but will stay here awhile in hopes that the police may capture the thieves and get back part of his money. LEGISLATIVE SIDELIGHTS. The third house of the legislature of 1903 has been organized by the senate pages. The organization was effected last night without any difficulty as all the members tide in the Republican bandwagon. A hot fight is now on for United States senator and his election has been made a special order for this evening. It is believed that the Hon. Stub Porter will be elected although Hon. Freckle Smith is making a hard fight for it. In the organization last night the following otiicers were chosen: President. Hon. Lee Noftzger; president pro tern. Hot. Frank McRea: secretary, Hon. Gaines Gilmore; legal advisor, Hon. Kustis falias Freckle) Smith. A resolution was adopted allowing each member $20 for postage. A bill author izing the immediate enforcement of the anti-snake eating lovv was passed under a suspension of the rules and will be put into effect at once. There was a hard fight for the election of an official state paper. Kaon of the three Topeka dailies were represented in the booy and con flicting reports were sent out as to the result of the vote. It is believed to have been decided that whatever paper got to the news first could have it. The op position to the Topeka State Journal and the Topeka Daily Capital was based on the fact that those two publications had "roasted tiie badges" worn by fh" senate pages. The roster of the third bouse is as follows: Senators Noftzger, j McRea, Mickell. Marshall. Crossley, i Butler, Sheen, Gray, Graham, H. Por ter. P,. Porter, Rodgers, Roberts, King and Smith.

The best thought of the world is being givf; to the subject. It is easier and better to prevent than to cure. It has" been fuliv demonstrated that pneumonia, one of the most dangerous diseases that medical men have to contend with, can be prey-mod by the use of r'hamherlain's Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always re sults from a cold or from an attack of influenza Igripl. and it has been observ ed that this remedy counteracts nnv ten dency of these diseases toward preomoni-". This has been tiilly proven in inanv thousands of cases fn which this remedv has been used during the great preval ence of colds and grip in recent years and can be r.-lied upon wilh implicit con lidence.

6 TOPEKA STATE JOURXAJU THURSDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 5, 1903. Tax Commission Shows Indica tions of .Breaking Away. 'clitics Forgotten for a "oineiit in Deliberations. THE MORTGAGE CLAUSE italic Waggenerllas It Changed in Sinirlt; Handed Fight. As It Stands Now These Securi ties Won't lie Ta$ed. Single handed, in a committee on mhich the political complexion of his few partisans made no perceptible dis coloration, lialit- W"agi;tMicr last night won a fight for an important amend ment to the tax bill now under consid eration. Under his persuasion the mem bers of the tax committee thought less bout the making: of a law that would withstand the pulling and hauling of campaign discussion, and more of turn ing out one that would sooner or later be appreciated as a protection for com mercial progress in the state. ".Let us go kit this in the sprit of busi ness men," was Wapgener's frequent objurgation and before long the com mittee was doing so. His amendment passed by a safe majority which could Eot have been altered by Senator Hur rel's tardy protest if he had been able to secure a reconsideiation, as he de aired. In the section defining- personal prop erty an exception from that term was made to include, "notes, mortgages and evidences of indebtedness." This makes mortgages exempt from taxation. The proposition came tip for discussion at the first meeting of the committee Tues day night but when it threatened to be come a bar to progress upon considera tion of other sections of the bill it was laid over. Last night it occupied almost an hour of the committee's time. That its importance justified the time was not questioned. Senator Smith, who contended on the previous evening that notes and mortgages ought to be taxed came over to the other view and voted lor the amendment. As set forth in previous reports of this discussion Waggener contended, in fa vor of his amendment, that where a tax Is laid upon a mortgage the man whose property is mortgaged eventually pays the tax and the money lender goes free. He argued that resident money would he placed in the hands of non-resident trust companies to be loaned, as a sub terfuge to escape taxation. He further held that the removal of a tax upon notes and mortgages would eventually bring a cheaper money into the state for the man w ho had to borrow. The argument that the exemption would remove a source of revenue now accruing to the state was answered by a showing of statistics that at the pres ent time the total valuation of this class of property in Kansas was but littie over three million dollars out of a total taxable valuation of something like 363 million dollars. There was no evidence of partisanship In the deliberations (if the committee last nisrht. fusion mem bers dipped into the discussion and ad duced arguments not tainted with po litical prejudice. The Republican band wagon is not carrying the tax bill over tite mangled remains of the minority. Bo far the tax bill has ridden in a pri vate car. The word "tax" when found in con nection with the opening paragraph of any article is usuaily a discouragement to the reader. A full report of the fur. ther proceedings of last night's com miuee meeting would probably be death blow to the interest of the re-icaind'M- of this one. Until 10 o'clock th oornmittee rad and talked about fol lowing sections; down to the bottom ot article 7 and then adjourned until this evening. There were a few changes, important only in a technical or- legal way and many returns to earlier sec tions of the bill which had been pre viously "hashed" over. After consid erable discussion of exemptions that sect ton was left unamended. In the section providing penalties for the filing of fraudulent statements of property Waggener secured an amend rrent laying the penalty of the forfeiture of the charier or license of any company resident or non-resident which willfully understated its property holdings. Tonight Senator Hurrel will try to bring up for reconsi leration Waggoner's amendment exempting mortgages. H: wis absent during the earlier part of the evening and missed the discussion in which he would have opposed the amendment. STATE DAIRY COMMISSION. One Is Proposed to Provide for In spection. If enough support can be secured for the measure a bill will be presented to this legislature for the establishment "f a state dairy commission. A bill is now in possession of Representative .Mtade drawn after the model of a law now in force in Minnesota. The Minne sota law includes in the duties of the s;ate dairy commissioner that of in sptcting all food products, making him a sort of general pure food com missioner, if the dairy bill is present ed here that part will probably be left out. There is oppostion to the proposed law on the part of thosevwho are anx ious to set' some substantial appropri ations made for the State-; Agricultural college dairy farm. That'' part of the Agricultural coll-ge is tnreatetied with truubk-s enough of Its own' on account of the alleged opposition of President Nichols to appropriations for it. Pres-id-nt Nichols is said to be more in favor of building up the academic de partments. Until a few weeks ago some of the larger dairying and cream ery interests of the state were father ing tile proposed bill ..but these have lately withdrawn their support because the bill in reality offers them little pro tection. It is drafted more to the jn ter.si.,.. of the consumer. The bill provides that the governor shad appoint th dairy commissioner on the recommendation of the secretary of the state board of agriculture. tt. secretary of the state board of health and the tr;f-ssor in charge of the dairy department of the State Agricul tural college. He may be removed at the1 p'-'Vir of the persons who recom mended him when he has given cause for removnl. The commissioner shall be charged with the enforcement of all dairv ami pure food laws and shall have power to Appoint the necessary number of as sistants to properly discharge the du ties of hi: office. The salary of the commissioner shall be $1,800 a year that of his assistant $1,501). and that of a chemist whom he is authorized to appoint $1,200. The salaries of inspec tors of dairies and dairy products will be $75 a month. The bill calls for an annual appropriation of $15,000 to cover the expenses of the department. Out of this sum shall be paid the cost of inplQylng attorneys to prosecute vlo- lators of the laws which the commis sioner shall enforce. T!m- biii provides that the duties of the rorrimissi.mer shall cover a Wide iic-id. lie must inspect ail dairy products in the state, inspect all dairies, creameries and skimming stations and provide licenses to dairymen and peddlers of milk. All ree nrds k vX. by dairies mast be open to in spection by the commissioner or one of bis deputies at any time. The commissioner shall aiso have power to stop dairy pro ducts earoote to market and inspect them, arid penalties are provided T.r railway companh-s winch refuse to permit: this in spt '-tion to take place The bill iix.-s standards for weights and measurements of dairy products, it pre scribes the use of the Babeook tester for milk and cream bandied in skimming sta tions. It also prohibits the use of preserv atives and their sale in the state. The commissioner shall issue biennial reports on the order of those issued by the state board of agriculture as it is intended that his department shall hear the same rela tion to the dairymen that the board of ag riculture does to the farmers. Mis report will also include the results of e xperiments at the, state agricultural college. WONT STOP IT. (Continued from First Page.) hour and a half was required to read it, Judge Hook decided at a special session of the United States circuit court Wednesday afternoon that the attempt ed reorganization of the Kansas Mutual Life Insurance company under the name of the Kansas Union Life Insurance company is invalid and illegal. He granted an injunction to prohibit the Kansas Union from taking posses sion of the Kansas Mutual assets, and stated that he would appoint two re ceivers to take charge of the company pending a reorganization of the com pany us a mutual concern. The court indicated that he would like to appoint E. N. Morrill of Hiawatha and P. 1. Bonebrake of Topeka as re ceivers, provided they were satisfactory to the attorneys and litigants. W. H. Rossington, attorney for the complain ant, D. E. Duggan, objects to P. I. Bone brake, and he will probably not be one of the men appointed. Mr. Morrill is one of the organizers of the Kansas Mutual company, which was originally a Hiawatha concern. lie is still a director in the company. P. I. Bonebrake is one of the new directors chosen by the Kansas Union Life In surance company. "It is not my deeire," said Judge Hook in closing his long opinion in the case, "that the affairs of this company should be wound up, and the assets distributed. Rather is it to conserve the interests of these 7,000 policy holders; to make it less severe on the policy holder who may now be too old to secure new in surance. For that reason I believe it advisable to appoint two receivers who shall hold this property until the owners can resume its operation on a safe and proxer basis. "All these legal obstacles which have hampered the company must be cleared away. The company must be establish ed on a good footing, so that it may no longer be harassed by Philips suits, or MeOuigg suits, or any other suits whictt have caused it so much trouble in re cent years." In his opinion. Judge Hook reviewed carefully the organization of the Kan sas Mutual company, and traced its various transformations from the time of its establishment as a mutual assess ment company in Hiawatha down to the present time. He also reviewed the or ganization of the Kansas Union Life In surance company, and in speaking of the effect on the Kansas Mutual of this scheme said: "There was absolutely nothing left of the Kansas Mutual company, under this plan except a contract by which the Kansas Union assumed the risks. This, it has been pointed out. might possibly constitute a chose in action. But it would ill subserve the purpose of active organization if the only evidence of its existence were its own burial certif icate. It is not for the court to deter mine whether or not it is necessary for an insurance company of this kind In this state to have a caDital stock." Judge Hook then reviewed the history of the litigation through which the Kansas Mutual has passed, and showed what are the vulnerable parts of the or ganization, and what parts are subject to more or less constant danger of at tack. He cited the Adam Brenner case, the suit against Hill, and then com pared the two cases to show that the company acted improperly in using the reserve fund in lieu of a capital stock. He then discused the Phillips case, which was only recently dismissed at the plaintiff's request, without prejudice to future action. This case is often citeci as furnishing the basis for the recent, attempted reorganization of the Kansas Mutual. REPUDIATES ANY ADVICE. It has been claimed by some, and in timated by the attorneys for the Kan sas Mutual company, that the stipula tion filed in the Phillips case gave to the Kansas Mutual a sort of semi-official indication of what the court thought it advisable for the company to do, m order to place itself on a better finan cial footing. Acting upon this "tip," it is claimed that the scheme to organize the Kansas Union and then transfer to it the Kansas Mutual was evolved. This would give the Kansas Union a capital stock of $100,000, as required by law. Speaking of this stipulation. Judge Hook said: "I want to call especial attention to the fact that the language of this stip ulation is the language of the attorneys and not of the court. The court did not write the stipulation, and does not take responsiblity for the way in which it is worded. The method by which the end suggested should be secured was not thought of by the court. The spirit of the stipulation simply was that the mutual association be neld intact, and the interests of the policy holders safe guarded." Judge Hook reviewed the financial standing of the company, and showed from the reports that while the com pany has $712,000 in assets, its liabili ties amount to only about $600,000, thus placing it apparently on a sound finan cial footing. The question of the method which the Kansas Mutual officers pursued to attain the transformation was severe ly criticsed by Judge Hook. He said in part: MISLEAD POLICY HOLDERS. "The treatment of the policy holders by th.e company in this matter is of doubtful propriety. They were trans- i ferred without their consent from an insurance company owned by the stockholders to a company in which they had no voice. In hs new com pany it is a fact that President Davis and his family at this time own and control 131 out of 200 shares of the stock. I know that It is claimed that this stock is being held only temporari ly until it can be placed with other buyers. But we can not but take the facts as we find them. "It is claimed that since the change was made, a large majority of the policy holders have given theirs assent j to it. This may be true, but it must i be remembered that the policy holders are sctatered far apart, and have had no opportunity to consult about the j matter. Many of them obtained all their information concerning this transaction from the letters sent out j by the company announcing the change. Tt is much easier to obtain consent to an accomplished transaction than to 3 proposed move. I further be lieve that the policy holders would ob tain from these announcements sent out an entire misconception of the nat ure of the move. It is difficult to be lieve that the language of the circular letters was not intentionally mislead ing. For instance in the first para graph of the letter the statement is made that "both companies will be en dowed with added strength" when as a. matter of fact, the old company was nothing but a skeleton; it had passed out of all active existence. "I have a high personal regard for the business sagacity and standing as men of honor of these gentlemen who are now at the head of this company, but I can't blind myself to the fact that this company is chartered for 909 years. The people at the head of the concern may change, and while there is a provision in the bylaws against paying more than a 7 per cent dividend on the stock, this provision might be lifted, and the en tire surplus of the company used to pay dividends. The character of the men interested in such a transaction can not be taken into consideration in deciding a matter of this kind. "The dissolving of a mutual corpora tion is something for the members to decide, not the directors. Even a ma jority of the members does not have unlimited power. They must act with due regards for the rights of the minor ity. The evidence in this else does not satisfy me that the majority of the members have consented to this trans fer. They did assent to the informa tion which was given in the letters which the company sent out, but. this information was misleading, and did i.ot give the members a fan- opportunity to weigh the case and decide intelligently in the matter. The power given to di rectors to reinsute risks does not. cany with it the right to discontinue the bus- i iness of r concern. This would not be a transaction of the business of insur ance, but would signify the corporate death of the organization affected." In closing Judge Hook said that he felt that an injunction should be issued to restrain the Kansas Union company from taking possession of the assets of the Kansas Mutual company, and that two receivers should be appointed. "To them I will commit at least in part, the management of the affairs of the company, until final disposition can be made." After the opinion was read, Judge Hook, together with the attorneys and litigants held a conference in the judge's chambers concerning the appointment of the receivers. ONLY S300 A YEAR. (Continued from First Page.) State Society of Mines and Mining and state mine inspector, stated that there has been a shortage of miners in most mining districts, caused largely by the fact that the miners are unable to make anything at the business, without high er wages. He said the average income of miners in the Osage district is less than $300 a year, but in the southeast ern Kansas district it is a little over that figure. He thought that a slight increase in wages in the southeastern district would secure entfugh miners to make up trie shortage, but that it would take a considerable increase to get enough miners into the Osage county mines. The southeastern coal, he said, is the best steam coal west of the Mis sissippi and that it can be mined much easier than the Osage coal. The Mount Carmel company always has plenty of miners, but it is the other companies which are short. With reference to coal confiscation by the railroads Mr. Castleman said: "My understanding is that the rail roads contract with the operators for a certain amount of coal and as much more as they want. I understand that they confiscate coal under this con tract." "Well, do you understand that they have any right to do this?" asked Sen ator Noftzger. "I don't know about the legality of it. This is simply their claim." "The coal is delivered to the dealet on the track at the mines, is it mot?" "Yes." "Then isn't it the retail dealer's coal and not that of the operator's which the railroads confiscate?" "Yes." "How do you explain the confiscation of state coal from the penitentiary mines? The railroads haven't any claim on that, have thev?" 1 "No, I should call that plain steal ing. "Do you think the operators have taken advantage of the shortage to raise the price?" asked Senator Mc Millan. "I don't know whether you would call it taking advantage of the shortage or not. They are charging more for coal. Down in the southeastern district a year ago they charged $2.00 a tin at retail. Now they are charging $3.00 a ton." "In my opinion the coal famine is caused by the greediness of the anthra cite operators. That is the whole point in my opinion. The coal that Kansas ought to have has been going east to help out the shortage in the anthracite supply." This is the opinion of T. W. Siddle, a miner of Midway, Kansas, about the coal famine, as given in his testimony before the legislative coal investiga tion commission. "You can see great numbers of east ern cars out here now that seem to be going east with-Kansas coal." contin ued Mr. Siddle "Prior to the anthracite coal strike it was very seldom you would see an eastern car being loaded at Kansas mines. Now you can see a great many Philadelphia Reading, Baltimore Ohio, and other eastern cars at the mines in southeastern Kan sas. Of course I do not kr.ow positive ly where these cars go, but they seem to be going east loaded with coal. The anthracite strike naturally made a great shortage in the east and it is my opinion that Kansas coal is going east to make up part of that shortage." Ten miners wJre examined by the committee at its first sitting. All but one of them were from the southeast ern Kansas fields. The one exception was from Leavenworth. No Osage county miners were examined. The first one called was Hugh 5ton aghan. an employe of the Mount Car mel Coal company at Frontenac. "Does your union have an agreement or scale with the operators as tq the price you get for mining?" asked Sen ator McMillan. "Yes, we get 65 cents, a ton," answer ed the witness. "Have your wages been increased during the last few months?" "No." "How often are you paid?" "Tw'ice a month." "Do you work all the time that is. during the entire year?" "No, we don't work all the time." "Well, approximately, how many months did you work during last year?" "About ten months, I should think." "Are the mines always worked to their full capacity?" "There was about six weeks during the summer that we didn't work." "In your judgment did the operators get out all the coal they could?" The witness refused to answer this question on the ground that his knowl edge was not sufficient to make his opinion of value. Mr. Monaghan further testified that there is no scarcity of labor, and that there has been no change in wages during the past six months. He knew of no shortage of cars. L. D. Lamb, also of Frontenac, said he had not worked ten full months in the past s'e.ir; that wages had not been increased; that it costs no more now

to produce a ton of coal than it did a ysar ago. Witness did not know of a place where there were not all the men r.eeded. Representative Stavely then asked some questions. "How much do the operators get for the coal?" he asked. "I don't know that," replied the wit ness. "Do you know of any reason for the shortage in the coal supply?" "The only reason I know of is that the companies have not furnished pit cars enough to take the coal out of the mines as fast as the miners get it ready." "How many cars does one man gen erally get?" "Some days he will get 6 or 7, and then again perhaps he will get only 2 or 3." The witness explained that each driver has a certain number of entries from which he has to haul cars, and each man has to take his turn with the cars which the driver brings. WORKS FOR MR. DEVLIN. "How many tons can a man get out in a day?" asked Senator Noftzger. "He ought to average about four tone." "How much of the time would you have to wait for cars?" "About a third of the time, I should judge?" "What shaft is it you work in?" "No. 6 of the Mount Carmel Coal company." "Who owns it?" "C. J. Devlin is the operator. I don't know who are the owners." The witness said complaints had been made to both the pit boss and the su perintendent about the scarcity of pit cars, r. nd the superintendent had prom ised to remedy the difficulty as soon as possible. John Timms. the next witness, works in shaft No. 7, Mount Carmel Coal com pany. He testified that he gets 65 cents a ton. which has been the scale during the past year. The miners work eight hours a day. Thought he worked about nine months all told last year. Lost time was caused partially by a shortages of cars and partly by having to wait foi places to work when new rooms were being ODened. Did not think the com pany had made any effort to restrict the output of the mines. The company did not store coal but shipped it as fast as it was mined. There was no scarcity of labor. The miners have to buy their powder at the company store, at $2 a ke3. W. D. Robinson works for the Weir Coal company three miles northeast of Pittsburg. Can mine from 4 to 4 tons a day in a good day's work. Powdet costs about 75 cents a day. He worked about twenty days a month on an aver age. From February 1 to June 1 las? year the miners were idle about half the time because of a shortage of rail road cars, but during the past fall had not missed more than a day now and then. The retail price of coal to the miners has been increased from $2 a ton to S3, but there has been no increase in wages. MINERS MAKE $30 A MONTH. T. W. Siddle, who works for the Pitts burg and Midway Coal company at Mid way, was the next witness. His testi mony brought out little that was new until Senator McMillan asked: "How much does a miner make on aiv average, after deducting the cost of his powder and other things he pays the company for?" "Probably $30 a month above the cost of his nowder and house rent." "Do the houses belong to the com pany?" "Yes." "How much rent do you pay?" "Six dollars a month." "How many rooms are there in the houses?" x:- "Well, there are three 'places' you might call them rooms." "How much does it cost, in your judg ment, to build those houses?" "If the cornnany gets its lumber at wholesale, as I understand it does, the best houses could be built for., about $225." "And you pay $G a month rent for a three-room house costing about $225?" "Yes, sir." Representative Stavely then asked what, in the judgment of the witness, caused the coal famine, and Mr. Siddle made the statement quoted above, that the shortage is caused bv Kansas coal going east to help make up the shortage caused by the anthracite strike. C. E. Bromlett. who works for the Southwestern Development company at Mineral; John J. Hoye. who works for the Mount Carmel company, and Fran cis McDonald., who works for the Col umbus Coal company at Stippviil, Cherokee county, also testified, but brought out nothing new. SHORTAGE OF CARS. Henry II. W7entzell, who works for the Home-Riverside company at Leaven worth, testified that he gets 34 cents a ton for mining coal. He said-fliffVulties in the management of the company had made a great deal of trouble and caused a great deal of time to be lost, but that the company is now doing well and get ting out as large an output as possible, considering the shortage of railroad cars. The miners all seemed very intelli gent. Some of them, especially, used the choicest language, but they were at all times conservative and careful in their statements. The committee adjourned to meet again at 8:30 this morning. HIDDEN AWAY. A Discovery Worth While. It startles one when he comes to know absolutely that wrong selection of food is the direct cause of the weak eyes, kidney trouble, dyspepsia or whatever may be the form disease takes, and that right food will work a natural cure. But it is easy to provfc by actual test. The following is an example: "Five months ago I was in despair, not knowing the cause of my desperate conditon. I had run down to 105 pounds and suffered from a chronic sore throat, sore eyes and what was hardest to bear an awful nervousness and hysteria which at times almost ran into insanity. "Finally a large swelling appeared in the throat and I feared cancer. The nervousness got worse and when I found I could stand it no longer and no medicine I could take would cure me. I concluded to take the advice or cue Postum Cereal company and change diet. My stomach never hurt me so I "thought that was all right anyhow. But I learned a thing or two. "Well I quit tea and coffee entirely and began eating Grape-Nuts three times a day. 1 began to improve arid get well. What a relief. My sore eyes, throat trouble and terrible nervousness gradually left and I have gained 35 pounds in weight. It proved to be a hidden stomach trouble that did not show except in other parts of the body, but the real trouble came from stomach and so when the right food like Grape Nuts was given to the stomach, it i quickly got well and made good blood I that cured the other ails." Name fur I nished upo.i application to Postum Co., I Battle Creek, Mich. People don't realize the great truth that the stomach and the food are re sponsible in most all cases for man's happiness or distress. Nothing is more sure than for people to improve in health if they will change the diet and use Grape-Nuts three times a day. A NOVIC Senator Allen Not In Working Order Today. Social Session of Elks Too Much for Him. Mil. BRAMNE AROUSED. He Finds a Bill That Bodes No Good. Straightway Has Its Enacting Clause Obliterated. Senator Allen was a guest of the Elks last night, and was forced to address the assembly. That is probably the rea son he was so quiet this morning. Sev eral small bills were broached and Mr. Allen utterly failed to take out any chips! As a rule Mr. Allen gets in, and his ante is reasonably adjacent to that of F. Duniont Smith. Today he has laid down several good hands. There fore, the Elks will kindly refrain from SENATOR ALLEN AS HE LOOKED TODAY. dragging Mr. Allen into any more of their social sessions, beginning at It o'clock and having no time limit. Ordi narily he is an industrious senator, and has the appearance of being awake. Now comes this herd of Elks to demoralize him. Fearing that they can not do it alone they call in a band of wild Modocs from the reservation, who get in their work with songs and cheese sandwiches. It is a shame to go after a harmless and hard working senator in this manner. There are some bills which see the light of day in the Kansas senate, which can rouse the ire and eloquence of the law abiding and generally peaceful Sen ator Branine. One of these red rags in the shape of a personal liability bill came in sight yesterday, and Mr. B. charged on it with some pawing of dirt. The bill, as drawn, provided that any man. whose business and financial sta tus allowed him to indulge in the luxury of employing his fellowman to labor for him, should be liable for the person of said employe, and be subject to a suit for damages whether he was responsible I! "THEY'RE AFTER HIM." for anything or not. In other words, should he have two yokels in his em ploy, and yokel number one should soak yokel number two with a singletree, incapacitating him for duty.the employ er should be held responsible to the ex tent of any amount he misht have. It mattered not, according to the bill, if the employer did happen to be visiting his wife's folks in Indiana at the time of the soakency of yokel number two, he was responsible for it anyway, and would have to pay the freight, not be cause he was guilty of anything, but because yokel number two needed the money. Such was the reason and phil osophy with which the bill was satura ted. Now Mr. Branine. is willing to ad mit that he is a friend of labor, but he could name just a few reasons why the enacting clause of this proposition should be stricken out. thereby making it harmless and a good parlor ornament. He said that while such a law would be a snati for the Jaborer. the poor man who had the misfortune to be. by force of circumstances, an employer, would get it in the jugular. He said that since he had been in the senate this session certain minor accidents, of which he had no voice, had occurred on his farm at home, enough in fact, to bankrupt him in cold blood if such a law were in force. The majority of the senators as sembled concurred with him, and the bill to make an employer practically in sure each laborer employed by him for more than he, was w-orth, is a dead one. A slight uneasiness on the part of the octipi has been noticeable in the last few days, especially on the part of the monster who sits on downy beds of coal. Three representatives and two senators, heavily armed with authority and other tools of torture, are coming his way. "They're after him," in the words of the cheap comedian. SHE SEEKS A DIVOKCE.

The building was full of smoke but the liitl found her way to the fran tic animal and succeeded in untying; it and with great effort succeeded in lead ins the horse unburned from the burn ing building".

Cliii ago. Feb. ."..Parents of young; girls attending the Rarimer school of F.vanston have b-ni aroused by the ac tion of Miss Conevieve Taylor, the prin cipal, in ordering: several of the girl students lo undress in the ante-room of the1 sv irool and allow a physical exami nation to be made by Dr. Anna Oloss. A number of the girls, it is said, were required to stay in after school and re move all their clothing' and then stand around while the doctor was makinsr her measurements. The officials recently in augurated a systeni of calisthenics and tht y wish to find out the result of the exercise. The pa rents, however, ma intain that the examinations should not have been made without their permission, and even then they think the measurements should liave been made at the homes of the children. It is possible legal action for damages may be brought against the board of education. DOESN'T UPHOLD QUAY. Teller Objects to His Methods in Try- ing to Pass Statehood Bill. Chicago. Feb. 5.

Kansas City, Feb. a. For the last two weeks a man calling himself J. W. Wordwell has secured various sums of money from men by promising; them employment. His office was at 573 Sheidley building;, and the firm name of the concern he said he represented was the Kansas City, St. Kouis Mem phis Construction company. On Tues day evening, after a profitable stay of two weeks, the promoter took an early train out of the city and the police have not found any trace of him since. All day yesterday men who had been duped flocked into the office to talk with the promoter of the enterprise. Others, who had not yet heard of the man's flight, came to offer their money to him. The man's operations were" cleverly planned. For a time he advertised in the St. Rouis papers only. From there he had his mail sent to Kansas City, and would then write a personal letter to his victim. His offers were made in such apparent Rood fnitb that people readily believed him. ICven the matter of references did not annoy him. Asked for some responsible person to whom reference could be made, he was always ready with the name of B. L. Winchell, Vice president of the Frisco system. At this the applicants seemed to be satisfied and left their money with him unhesitatingly. The sums be received varied from $100 to $150 in each case. As security he gave his personal note, pay able one day after date. Then be sent the victims out of town to take the posi tions be had provided for them. They have yet to hear of his disappearance. In nearly every instance of which trace can be obtained, the advertise ments asked for a timekeeper. He was to receive $13 a week and have steady employment. A securit;- of at last $100 was demanded, for which sum the pro moter gave his note. He liien bought a railroad ticket to some point in the In dian Territory and sent the victim on his way. These tickets did not cost to exceed $10 or $l."i. The police think that a search will disclose, duped men at various points throughout the territory. The one thin;; that was responsible more than any other for the hasty de parture of Wordwell was the action of a man whom he did not succeed in con vincing. In the afternoon this man gave a certified check for $100 for security, but upon reflection decided to go to the office again and demand bis money back. Wordwell was just soing down the steps, but this man caught him and compelled him to return th (heck upon pain of its beinsr taken forcibly. He is the only victim, so far as is known, who was ast fortunate. One of the late victims, Samuel Iluy man. of Florence, Kan., was at police headquarters yesterday afternoon to talk the case over with Chief Hayes. He declared he had been beaten out o $150. All the correspondence about the place has been confiscated by the police and John K. Harrison, postoffice in spector. The furniture and other office material have been carted away by the firms from which they were secured. As Wordwell paid his rent in advance, the proprietors of the building will lose nothing. -v IS IT QUI VE II A. W. E. Richey Examines Prehistoric Cauip at Skiddy. W. j.

If it were not for that way they have of waiting until late in the evening before starting the disturbance, those social sessions of the Elks lodge would be charming events. Last night certain legislators both the house and the senate, the guests- of honor. Harry from were Bon, private secretary to the governor, held the gavel and acted as toastmaster, judge and jury. Two policemen in full uniform answ ered to his call, and drag ged up the victims who were marked for the slaughter. Guests and host alike were forced to contribute a song, a story or play some instrument. Just to show the assembly that he was game, Steve Cave, sergeant-at-arms in the house, and late legislator of prairie dog fame, sang something about "chicken pie" and other viands, accom panying himself on the violin. When Cave was hustled forward to the altar by tile officers he chewed a sandwich and sputtered protests. When he faced the court that hcnorable body remarked: "It has been charged that you have been known to advocate and on some occasions administer stuff known as prairie dog medicine. It is the pleasure- of this court to know who held the animal while you gave the medicine." Representative McLaughlin of Chero kee county furnished a lot of amuse ment bv triling a story in which he imitated three English barristers arguing a. case. Major Tom Anderson imitated an alleged Missouri legisla tor in bis delivery of a few remarks on rn attempt change the constitution of the state. The two policemen were kept busy grabbing and bringing forward the parties compelled to furnish the amuse ment. Some of them ran over the door keeper and escaped to the jungles of the oioak room where they could not be found. The fun was fast but not furious, and was still going at 1 a. m. The string of impromptu speeches by the victims was punctuated by an oc casional uprising of a squad of Modocs. who usually delivered what they had on band before they could be sup pi esscd.

FOOTBALL IX THE WEST. Columbia Eleven to. Go to California This Season. Xew York, Fob, .I. Columbia univer sity plans the making- by its football team of a tiip to the west in order that its team may play some of the more important western elevens. Richard Smith, the Columbian captain, is a west erner, coming from Oregon, and has therefore manifested an esneeially keen interest in the project. For the last few years some of the western teams have annually written Columbia asking for Karnes to be played on the home grid irons. I'd to the present it has been impossible to accept these offers be cause of faculty objections. This diffi culty has now, it is said, been over come, and there is practically no doubt that Columbia will this season make the I journey west to test its mettle with the western elevens. Captain smith some time ago wrote 1 to I.eland Stanford. Jr.. university and 1 to the Fiiiversity of California seeking j lo perfect arrangements with their foot bail managements for games between i their teams and Columbia' during the j season of ISiOll. Favorable answers have it is said, recently been received from j both of tbeoi. It is understood that the contests "will come off during the Ohrist rr.as holidays, in order that they may 'not conflict with the regular academic i work of the football players.

A new series of papers in which Old Man Graham preaches the gospel of good business and tells some of his characteristic stories. This Life Story of a Self-Made Merchant, by George Horace Lorimer, will be one of the features of coming issues of the magazine. The Letters from a Self-Made Merchant to His Son met with universal favor, and there is every reason to believe that the new series by the same author will be equally popular. In the riew series old Graham tells the story of his own business career how he began life as a farmer's boy, worked his way to the front and became the biggest pork packer in the West.

"Are Tou a Mason?" will be presented at the Xew Crawford theater Saturday j afternoon and night. The marital mis haps of two husbands who have in- duced their respective wives to believe that thev have followed their requests to join the Masons is the central idea i j of this big farce comedy success. The j comedy is now in its third season and I has made a record as one of the biggest comedy successes ever produced in this j country. It ran an entire season in Xew j j York, and subsequently played during j I an entire summer at Power's theater i Chicago. It was presented in London J last spring and made the greatest bit of 'any comedy ever produced by an Amer- I ican manager m Lngland. I ne ingnsn- men declaied it one of the very funniest j comedies produced in that country. j A powerful melodrama abounding j with startling sensations, scenery, elec- trical appliances and mechanical ef- j foots anil devices, with a strong acting company, constitute the main charac teristics of "The Convict's Daughter." The author has made the central fig ure that of a tramp an escaped con vict innocent as far as crime guts but unjustly sentenced for another man's crime, that of murder. He final ly escapes from prison and becames a tramp. At the Xew Crawford Sunday night. Patrons' of the drama essentially ad mire a hero who has to light against odds and who yet wins his way not by impossible efforts of the ordinary heroes of fiction but by the use of brains, cunning and strength, and a manner that is not only probable, but entirely logical. It is such a hero as this that Theodore Kramer has intro duced in his. intensely interesting melo drama. "The King of Detectives," which Sullivan. Harris and Woods will show at the Xew Crawford Monday nifeht. "The Suburban," which Jacob Litt produced with emphatic success in Chi cago, and which will be seen here at the Grand Tuesday night, bids fair to distance any of the season's attractions as a money maker. It has already run fifteen weeks in Chicago to the largest business ever known there for that period. distancing the records of "The i Price cf Peace," "Quo Vadis." "Hearts tare Trumps," "Sporting Life." "The i Great Ruby'' and ether of tne big Lon don and American successes which have had pi eduction at McVicker's theater. IThe new play does for Xew York what the big spectacles from London did for tb it city. Many of the scenes in "The Suburban" represent places well known to Xew Yorkers and persons who an nually visit the metropolis.
