While the founda tion of the new structure, which is to be practically unique, has been only just begun, the pians c in templa led hy the war ol partment and by congress include th- construe tiou of an entire Bt of buildings on the arsenal grounds. Among other structures there will be a hospital, barracks, offkers' quarters and an administration building, all to lie handsome and of tire most approved architectural design. The army war college grounds have been selected as the site for the statue of Frederick the Great, which Kmperor William has promised to present to tire people of the United States. A picturesque feature of the cere monies Today was the participation of The military. About 3.0c" troops repre senting 'he various branches of the war service took part iu the exer cises.

The last two or three years have witnessed a notable fiwaKenin.g in our pepio t th vell l.eine; of the army. oUr p-ojile are nn-dei-stn nrtrng as never before the fact that the army, like the now. wm do v-ed in war mainly in proportion a it has beon prepaid well in peace- th-t fift"r the war has begUil p ls f-.r us to prepare for the vktorv. I ie feat will come inevitable and surelv if the preparation is put off until the war begins, and victory will come if it ha been prepared for in time of peace and c-n no other terms. 'L'uring the session of congress that is now closinsr we have seen the first stride taken in putting the national guard, the. militia of the country, on a footing of efficiency, the first long stride taken on the lines marked out by Washington himself, the first suc cessful effort made to put into effect Washington's plea which for one hun dred and ten years was disregarded by our people. And again the first long stride has been taken toward the mod ernization, toward increasing the effi ciency of the army in accordance with modern methods as devised by General Sherman over a quarter of a century ago. It takes time and thought and car" to work out necessary reforms. "They don't come in a jump. All kinds of obstructions of deliberate pur pope, obstructions of mere inertia, ob structions of carelessness have to be met with and overcome, but at last they are overcome if only a sufficient intensitv of purpose lies behind those backing the reform. And now these great steps have been taken. Methods have been provided for securing the in creased efficiency of the army and it rests with the army itself to profit by w hat has been done. "More and more it has become evident in modern war that the efficiency of the unit, of the individual officer and the in dividual enlisted man is going to be the prime factor in deciding the fate of fought fields. The exercises of the bar racks and the parade ground do not make five per cent of the soldier's real work and do not count for live per cent in his real efficiency. They are very spectacular, serve a good purpose and must be well done, but they count for but the smallest part in the qualities, the sum of which make the army effec tive or ineffective in actual service. Of ficer and man alike must be trained to the highest point in the theory and in the practice of the profession. The j forces of mere truism say that if they are trained in theory without the crown- -ing of pr actice they will amount to j lHdhing. but they must have the train- j ing and the theory too. I "Thev must have that training or I thev never can reach the highest stand- ard of perfection in their art. The army of the United States and it is not desir- able that it should be other than a small army relatively to the popuiaron of the country, but we have a right to expect that that small army shall tepre- i sent for its size the very highest point of efficiency of any armv in. the civiiiz- ed w orld (applause) and 1 have the most j absolute faith that 10 that degree of ef- fa iencv it will at'aiii, and tnat it will j attain 'it in no small part because of the wise and zealous use it will mane or the opportunities of this very building." (Loud and continuous applause). Secretin v Root followed the president after another selection by the band, lie spoke as follows: SECRETARY ROOT'S ADDRESS. "Not to promote war, but to preserve peace bv intelligent and adequate prep aration to rend Ufctsri-ession, this insti tution is founded. It is a growth, and not a new departure. It is a natural ann neoessnrv develonment of the views w ith which General Grant established the arlillery school at Fortress Monroe, j General Sherman established the in- f anil y and cavalry school at Fort j Leavenworth and General Sheridan es- j tablished the school of application for i cavehy and light artillery at Fort; lciitiv. Following the same policy, an engineers' school of application, a school of. submarine defense and an army medical school were afterwards estab- j lished. All of these institutions were i practically suspended during the war! with Spain, and in the Philinpinoa. j When the time came for their re-estab lishment it had become evident that no merelv restoration, but an advance ana enlaigement of military education were demanded by the enlargement of our army, the advance and greater com plexity of military science, the in creased proportion of officers who had not the benefit of a West Point educa tion and the wdde ranc:e of military problems which the possibilities of nui growth force upon our attention. The growth of separate institutions had reached a point where their efficiency could be increased and the result of their -work could be utilized best bv bringing them into relation as parts of a general system of military edueatioN, under the inspection and supervision of a single co-ordinating and controlling body, and by supplementing their work with a post-graduate course which should carry their best men onward along the lines of research and of thought, by which experience and theory combine to the making of skillful com manders, of armies. Such a system the army is now putting in force as rapidly as possible. "The controlling and directing body 19 the war college board, consisting of f'iv officers of rank specially detailed and the chief of engineers, the chief of nr. tillery, the superintendent of the West Point military academy and the com mandant of the- Ueavenwerth school, alt under the presidency of that eallant, expei ieneed and able soldier, Major General Samuel B. Ml. Young. Fndec their direction the school at Fort Leav enworth has been re-established and reorganized as a general service and staff college, with the school at Foit Riley as an accessory school of appli cation. The special service schools have been re-established. A system of schools has been established at the principal posts and is being extended to all the considerable posts r.f the coun try, under which a compulsory course, following a prescribed curriculum, is required from all junior officers. It 13 the design of the board, already pro vided by general orders, that the best men from the post schools shall be graded up to the Leavenworth college and the special service schools; that the best men from the Leavemvorth college and tlie special se-viee schools shall be graded up to the post-graduate, course of the war college, there to stud.,' and confer upon the great problems of national defense, of military science and of responsible command. Th courses of instructions in all of the schools in all the stages are in the highest degree practical as well as theo retical and military aptitude tested by the exercise of actual command will '"1-i a loading place in the determina tion of merit. To the men thus sifted out from the great mass of officers b the demonstration of superior intelli gence and devotion to the profession, the commander-in-chief will naturally turn for details to important service an 1 promotion to higher rank. Mem b"rshi in the war college will mean honor and opportunity. In its confi dential archives w-ill be garnered thu result's of the best thought of the armv and in the continuous existence of the institution, always changing in its ele ment as men come and go. but remain, ing itself unchanged, will be found con-lir-nity of knowledge, of thought and of military policy always available for practical uses iind"'1 the sunervision of the g.-neral Starr, of which the war col lege board will form a part. "It is a common observation and a trti'1 one that practical qualities in a soldier are more important than a know ledge of theory, but this truth has ofUn been mode the excuse for indol ence and indifference, which except in rare and sifted ind ividuals destroy prac tical efficiency. It is also true that. (Contint ed on Sixth Page.) CLEANS THE SLATE House Spends Time Relieving the Calendar. Over Fifty Bills Are Onmibused Through. BARBER BILL IS ONE. Anti Snake Eating Measure Is Also Approved. Mr. Adams Withdraws Trouble some Barber Amendment. The house has been cleaning up its calendar. It was anxious to get as many bills as possible through on final passage and over to the senate before an adjournment was taken for the week, and it omnibused over fifty bills. Many of these were important general bills, but they were all bills to which there was no objection. As no one wanted to vote against them they were bunched and a single roll call taken on them. In this number were McMillan's anti snaKe eating bill, the barter bill, Mus toe's bill raising the salary of the state superintendent cf public instruction to $2,500, and many others. This puts the snake-eating bill through both houses and it went to Governor Bailey for his signature to day. It will put a stop to the disgust ing exhibitions which have been made at street fairs and other celebrations during the past two or three years. Probably something else wdll be invent ed to take their place, though. Adams of Butler did not oppose the barber bill for final passage. Instead he got up and asked unanimous con sent to withdraw the amendment that he had tacked on to the bill to compel the barbers to keep clean and wear clean shirts. "I was opposed to having this bill apply to my town," he said, "and when you made it apply to all towns of 3,000 inhabitants I tried to fill it up with amendments so that I could compro mise and leave my town out of it. Some of you think my amendment is not in the bill, but it was carried by the committee of the whole and is now in the bill, and if you pass it in that shape the provision about the barbers keeping clean will remain in it. I do not wish to cast any reflections on the barbers of the stat-e, and lot that rea son I ask unanimous consent to liave that amendment stricken out." Mr. Adams' wish was granted, and there -was no further objection to the bill. The house started in at the head of the bills on third reading, and Speaker Pringle would call out each one and ask if there were any objections to it. If any member wanted to vote against it. that particular bill was passed over and the next one called. If there were no objections it was read for the third time. Sometimes it required not mote than a minute or two to disease of a hill. Among those passed were the fol lowing:. Bevir.gton's bill making it unlawful to wear the badge of any secret order un less a member of that order. Peck's bill repealing the law requir ing candidates for oifice to file state, ments of expenses. Enright's bill providing for the sal aries for stenographers in the large counties. Stavely's bill fixing the teneis of coun ty commissioners at four years and pro viding for their election. Husey's bill forbidding the coercion of employes by employers. This had been amended by striking out the objection able features which would stop railroad companies from making rules against employes drinking, or housewives from making rules for their hired girls. Jones' bill fixins a definite price for printing official ballots. Hunter's bill providing that teachers' certificates shall be good in counties adjoining the one in which it was is sued. Jenks' bill forbidding railroads to al low their trains to stop on country roads more than ten minutes at a time. Mead's bill authorizing cities of the second class to issue bonds for park purposes. Adams' fof Butler) bill authorizing the establishment of plants to utilize dead animals for soap crease and lubricating oil. The fees in this bill were amended to as to meet the objections of some of the western members. Chaney's bill increasing the clerk hire for the county clerk of Shawnee county. Sims' bill preventing the employment of children in hypnotic exhibitions. Kirtiand's fire escape bill, meant for hotels and public buildings. Harris' bill providing that a state board composed of a miiler. a grain man and the secretary of the state board of agriculture shall establish grades of grain for the state. Waggener's bill authorizing bounty commissioners to offer a reward of $500 for murderers. Senator Porter's bill for a manual training school at Pitisburg. Senator Alien's bill regulating the practice of dentistry. Senator Chaney's hill authorizlpg the construction of a dam across the Kaw at Topeka. Dolley's bill authorizing a bounty of 20 cents to be offered for gopher scalps. The house has killed another labor union bill. The measure providing that all prison made goods must be so branded was defeated by a vote of 40 to 24 in the committee of the whole. The bill was introduced by Perkins of Leavenworth at the request of the labor unions of his town. The unions wanted the bill passed on the supposi tion that If people knew they were buying goods made by convicts they would demand those manufactured by free labor instead. Representative Barker of Douglas led the fight against the bill. He said if prison goods were branded it would reduce their price and those made by free labor would have to come down to meet them. Mr. Perkins, who championed the bill, is a mir.ority member, and the mi nority stood by him when it came to a vote. Another Victim Dies. Cedar Rapids. Ia., Feb. 21. L. C. Bur nett, of Nebraska City, Neb., one of the victims of the Clifton hotel lire, died today. This is the fifth known fatality. TWO COAL BILLS. They Are Introduced in the Senate Today. The bills relating to and prohibiting the coniiscation of coal in transit by railroad companies in this state, were introduced into the senate today by Chairman Xoftzger of the coal famine investigation committee. These two bills were prtoted in full by the State Journal at the time of their prepara tion. One makes the confiscation of state coal punishable by heavy penal ties. The other, nominally prohibitive, practically permits railroads to take private coal by paying a premium on its market price. At the time of the handing in of the two coal bills the committee made its report. This closes the operations of the coal famine invest iagtion, of which tlie only practica.1 result ha.s been the recommendation of two bills calculated to regulate one of the causes which brought about the coal shortage during the present winter. The credit for the instigation of this investigation belongs to Senator Harry McMillan (Democratic) of Minneapolis. In its proceeding's it has failed to ac complish all he intended it should, he says, but he considers it a step in the right direction. Some of the greatest embarrassments resulting from the famine was experienced among his own constituency and he has received the heartiest endorsement from them for his stand. JOLLY JEFF IS HERE. Appeared Melancholy Enough Today to Play Mamlet. Jefferson De Angelis, whose stage ap pelation is "Jolly Jeff." is in Topeka to day and will be at the Crawford this afternoon and tonisrht in "The Emerald Isle." De Angelis, however, is anything but "jolly." He is almost sad. No: ungen tlemanly nor ungracious, for he is agreeable and approachable, but ha came to town with a matter of fact expres sion and as he sat in the lobby of the Throop he looked melancholy enough to play the melancholy Dane in "Hamlet lie has enough to make him sad. He was up early this morning to catch the train at Fort Scott and today he plays twice. Sunday he can not go to church as is his inclination but must post up the accounts of the company for the week. Mrs. DeAngelis, a nice looking woman with a few streaks of gray in her hair, travels with her husbar.d. Flu does not take nart in the opera. She is not one of the profession. Mrs. DeAnijelis looks after tier husband's welfare. She would not be satisfied this morning un til she had secured the most comforta ble apartments at the hotel for herself and her husband. They will be here til! Monday when the company goes to St. Joseph. Most all of the principals qua reled wdth the clerk abort their rooms. All wanted outside-t"oin-i!ext-the-ele-vato--hot and cold-water-bath-and-4-winiiows. After they had made their complaints Mrs. DeAngelis quietly tiled her claim on a comfortable room and got it. Then she went up town and bought some cocoa butter and grease paints ion her husband. She knows just what fla vors and shades he likes. "The Emerald Use," said DeAngelis, "is a far more pretentious than any thing that I have appeared n in To peka. 'The Royal Rogue' and 'The Jolly Musketeers, were musical come dies. This is a light opera. We have had nothing exciting on our trip except that on our way from Springfield to ijoplin two freight trains ahead of us i tried to pass on the same track and got badly shuffled. We nad to walk around the wreck and were delayed three hours." BE CLOSE SOUTHED. Panama Canal People Are Main taining a Rigid Reserve. Paris, Feb. 21. The officials of the Panama Canal company are maintain ing a rigid reserve concerning their plans. One of the chief officers said it was considered of the utmost import ance owing to the delicate stage of the negotiations not to throw anything into the discussion which might unfavorably affect the results. At the company's headquarters great activity has been shown since the re ceipt of the advices from Attorney Gen eral Knox accepting the company's of fer for the sale of'lts property, subject to the ratification of the United States senate. Prisons in a position to know the course of the negotiations do not consider the attitude of the company antagonistic to the position of the United Sta tes. The officials continue to take an optimistic view of the success ful close of the transaction as they con sider that the position of the company is such that the purchase can be con summated by an extra session of the senate in case no action is taken before March 4. BIG m HERE. Marshall Field, Uobt. T. Lincoln and Gen. Merritt in Topeka. A party composed of Marshall Field. Robert T. Lincoln, General Wesley Merritt, D. B. Walker and Arthur Caton, all of Chicago, passed through Topeka today at noon on their way to Coronado Beach. Cal., where they will siend several weeks. All of the party are prominent in rail road circles, with the exception of Genera! Merritt. Robert T. Lincoln Ls president of the Pullman Car company. Marshall Field is one of the heaviest stockholders in the Rock Island railroad and one of Chicago's richest men. and Mr. Walker and Mr. Ca ton, are also interested in. railroads. The special train hv which the party was traveling and which was running as the first section of the Golden State Lmi iteri arrived in Topeka at about 12:35 and slopped lone enough to allow the party 'o corne cot en the platform and absorb some of the sunshine. None of them would laik for publication in regard to existing rail road conditions. The members cf the party and their families are traveling in a special train compcseol of Robert T. Lincoln's private car, Colonial, and Marshall Fields' private car, Columbia. Seriate Adjourns. At noon today the senate adjourned un til 4 p. m. Monday. This is trie first Sat urday on which the legislature has seen tit to do any work since the beginning of the session, but it will be the last. jChc c, e r or-, sentalives is even more industrious than the senate and is working mis atteinooii. Beginning with Monday, both houses will hold nocturnal sessions. llALluERSJAISED Organized Move to Defeat the Tax Bill. They Are Waiting Their Chance ia Senate. F. D. SMITH WAITS. Still Hopes to Shove It Through Blockade. Balie Waggener Tells Why a Law Should Be Adopted. That the new tax bill, prepared by the state tax commission at an expense to the state of $5,000, wdll never become a law by any action of the present legis lature seems no longer In clouot. An organized assassinating party is out af ter it in the senate. The judgment of political policy may stay its hands to let some other circumstance cause the death of the bill or the whole measure may die on the calendar whil-3 the fac tions watch each other. With his hand on the lever Fred Dumont Smith is watching his best opportunity to turn on the steam and shove the bill through the blockade. In the meanwhile his principal business is to keep the meas ure from being 'pushed to a vote at an inopportune time. If it should be there will be "something doing" in the sen ate. Smith has not studied the tax laws ot I the country for two years, spent hours i and days in planning and putting the new bill in form, nor expended his gen ius and oratory in committee meetings to make or amend its provisions only to let the bill die on the floor of the senate i without a struggle. He is carrying his fighting clothes over his arm and can get them on at a moment's notice, hut he refuses to discuss the matter. The methods he will use on the floor of the senate will not be the same that he ob served when he poured out his studied arguments against the alleged sophistry of Balie Waggener. If the tight is op ened UDon the bill it will be largely forced through political motives. Smith's political motives are his own nnd do not correspond wdth many of the others which propel the machinery of the sen ate. His conduct has been pueh as to give as little offense as possible through out the session. Now he h"s come to the point where he needs all his power. He has used his blandishments. When it comes to the fight he will use his 1 whip. At least that appears to be j Smith's situation with reference to his pet measure. He believe ir. it and is iieady to stake much on it. j The house of representatives is dom lnated by the Leland element while the senate Is in the control of the Curtis-Burton contingent. To throw odium on i the other faction either might place the j bill in a situation where the opposition I would have to kill it. There seems to be some doubt about whether Mr. Le i land's faction wants the bill although Governor Bailey wants a tax law i passed. If the Curtis-Burton majority in the senate thought the Leland peo i pie would kill the bill it would shove t the measure through the senate in a hurry and then use the death of the bill as political capital against the Le land men. This is only one of the alleged causes of the uncertainty of present action. There are many other influences in the senate which may bring down the bill there during the early sesssions of the coming week. A lot of the senators have bills they want to get through. The tax bill threatens to crowd out two-thirds of the remainder of the cal endar. There are also outside In fluences which have representation, that are opposed to the provisions of the new bill.' There are a number of senators who think the passage of the bill will act seriously against future successes of the Republican party while there are more who base their opposition upon a conscientious belief that the bill, if made a law. would wcik a hardship upon the honest taxpayers of Kansas. Senator Kennedy of Coffey is one of these. In discussing the situation he said this morning: "If that tax bill passes it will keep half the people of Kansas in jail and the other" half in the penitentiary all the time. Its penalties are tyrannical. They are hitched on to every section. If the bill passes it wdll be a menace to the safety of every tax paver. I am in favor of taking some of the sections of the new law that provide for pun ishing tax dodging and wdth them amending the existing laws. I am de cidedly against any radical revision of the system of taxation." The proposition of amending the present laws, as a middle course be tween passing the new tax bill and do ing nothing at all, finds favor with many of the opposition. As a matter or fact, the opposition to the tax bill in the senate is not entirely backd by sen ators of characteristically Curtis-Burton tendencies. This faction dominates the anti-tax bill feeling as it does the whole senate. The fusion minority will coiw tribute a part if not all its membership to the assassinating party. Two of the men who are taking the most promi nent part in the plans to down the tax measure are Allen and Kennedy. ths former from Pwniphan county. Leland's own. and the latter who was with thf. Iceland-Stanley people during the sena torial contest. They claim a backing cf seventeen memlrers solid, and say they can get three more at call. Owing to the absence of Senators Cubbison, Fui -lington and Henley, they can thus con trol the vote. Balie Waggener knows about the movement to kill the tax bill and depre cates it. To a State Journal reporter he said this morning: "I have just discovered this morning that such a move is on foot. I want a tax law and I am sorry to see it. The present law is rotten. It doesn't amount to anything, and the amendment of it by putting in the punishment clauses would be better than nothing. I think the house of representatives will insist, upon the adoption of an amendment to the new bill either to exempt mortgages or to have them listed for taxation be fore they can be collected. "Those are the t-.vo extremes. There is no middle ground. That's why the present law is a failure. I have made a pretty careful canvass of the house on the matter. I think I've talked to a hundred members and they agree that one or the other amendment ought to be inserted in the law. I have no means of knowing- how the senate would stairs oh the matter. Of course, If the senate kills the bill, it's dead, and there's nothing more to do about it." LEWIS TO BE THERE. Says He Will Make Statement Be fore Committee. "I never made a statement which I was not willing- to substantiate with an affidavit," said Frank Lewis today to a reporter for the State Journal, "and if the Republican city central com mittee tonight should insist that I make oath to my assertion that I am a Re publican, I suppose I can do it. But I should hardly think that it would be necessary for the committee to demand any such thing of me. I claim to be a man of honor, and I believe that my statement should be accepted without requiring that I make oath to it." Mr. Lew is stated that he would attend the meeting of the committee this even ing, and would be prepared to answer all Questions which it puts to him. The city central committee will prob ably decide tonight when the positions on the Republican ballot will be handed out. It is likely that the lottery will take place early next week. FULTON ELECTED. The Oregon Legislature Finally Chooses a Senator. Salem, Ore., Feb. 21. At 20 minutes after midnight, on the forty-third bal lot, Charles W. Fulton, of Astoria, was elected United States senator, he re ceiving 46 votes. All through the even ing, beginning at 8 o'clock, the two houses took ballot after ballot with few changes until 11 o'clock, when the name of Harvey W. Scott was presented. The Multonamah delegation supported hint solidly and in addition he drew eight votes from Geer. The last ballot began at 10 minutes before midnight, and when the result was announced a scene of wild enthusiasm followed. Men hugged each other, threw up their hats, and shouted themselves hoarse. It was several minutes before order could be restored. Then President Brownell in a few words introduced Senator Fulton, who thanked the members of the legis lature for the honor that had been con ferred upon him, and pledging that he would represent no particular section of Oregon, but would give his best efforts to the upbuilding of every section of the stat. After the joint convention adjourned an informal reception was heid when hundreds of people shook hands with Senator Fulton and congratulated him upon, his success. QUAY SAT DOWN. After Making His Usual Request With Customary Result. Washington, Feb. 21. The senate re sumed its sitting again at 11 o'clock to day with the doors closed and wdth the Thursday's session proceeding. The presiding officer had scarcely taken his seat when the point of no quorum was made. A sufficient number of senators soon responded and Mr. Morgan was about to proceed with his canal speech when there was a general request on the part ot senators to be allowed to trans act some morning business. Senator Cullom yielded to this demand and it soon became apparent that a very large volume of this business had accumu lated. Mr. Cullom then moved an open session of an hour for the trans action of legislative business. There was no objection, and accordingly 20 minutes after beginning of the session tlie doors were opened. The hour was given up largely to the introduction of bills and the making of committee reports. The business had not proceeded far when Mr. Quay rose and said: "I merely rise to make my usual re quest with. I presume the usual result, that on Thur sday, the 26th of February, a vote be taken on the Omnibus state hood bill and all amendments without further debate." Messrs. Depew and Nelson objected simultaneously and Mr. Quay took his seat with a wave of his hand to Mr. Alger who had yielded the floor to him. Bills were passed as follows: Ceding jurisdiction to the state of Ar kansas over lands formerly in Fort Smith reservation on the amending of the law concering the holding of real estate by aliens in the territories; au torizing the construction of a bridge across the Arkansas river at Moore's Rock. Ark.; authorizing the secretary of the intreior to restore to entry pub lic lands segregated for reservoirs IN THE HOUSE. Washington, Feb. 21. At tli opening of the session of the house Mr. Hem enway (Ind.) asked unanimous consent for the consideration of a bill to exempt from taxation the property of the Daughters of the Revolution in the Dis trict of Columbia. Mr. Moon (Tenn.) objected saying he would continue to object to the consideration of any bill by unanimous consent. Mr. Fowler (N. J.) then moved that the house go into committee of the whole to consider the currency bill and pending that motion he asked that he control the time for the bill- and Mr. i Thayer (Mass.) against it. To this Mr. iBartlett (Ga.) objected, saying there was ia difference of opinion on the Democrat ic side concerning this question. When the motion was put Mr. Bartlett made the point of no quorum and the speaker having counted the nouse and finding only 100 members directed a call. The motion was carried, lir to Accordingly the house went into com mittee and Mr. Fowder. chairman of the committee on banking and currency took the floor in suprmrt of his bill.

Various Factions in Connection With Irish Politics Have at Last Reached a Basis of Agreement. LANDLORD AND TENANT At Last They Seem Likely to Get Together. Plan for Gradual Emancipation cf the People. London, Feb. 21. As the result of in terviews with the Duke of Abercorn, Lord Dunmven, John Redmond and others the Associated Press is able to announce authoritatively that the fol lowing is the situation today as re guards the plan to finally settle the Irish land question. All the interested par ties, nationalists, unionists, landlords and tenants are now for the first time in the history of Ireland in agreement, upon the lines of the Dublin conference and all indications point to the bill con ceding those demands. It will be in troduced in parliament at the end ot March and if passed will sccomplish w hat Mr. Redmond and Lord Dunraven agree in saying will be one of the "most extraordinary, peaceful revolutions ever effected." If Mr. Wyndham for lack of funds or other causes, fails to meet the views of the conference he will have on hia hands, to quote Mr. Redmond, an "Ire land such as the world has never seen." In this view such a strong supporter of the government as the Duke of. Abercorn concurs. Mr. Redmond adds: "If this agreement of keenly opposing parties lacks fulfillment through the government's refusal there will ba twice as many counties under the ban of the crimes act as there were prior to the present truce. This truce will be continued until the terms of the bill are revealed. A great nationalist con ference at which Bourke Cockran of New York will be one of the principal speakers, will meet in Dublin in April to lake action on the subject." The Duke of Abercorn. who is presi dent of the powerful Irish landlords' as sociation, which, at first declined to join the Earl of Mayo and Lord Dunraveu in conferring with the Nationalists, but which later signified its assent, frankly admits that lie is amazed at the results achieved and at the "happy topsy tm veydom" now prevailing in Irish poli tics. Asked if he thought the National- i ists were sincere in their profession? of w illingness to settle the longstanding 1 grievances by a compromise, he em i phatically expressed his belief in then complete sincerity. The duke could not conceive that the government would I "stand on any quibbles" when the so i lution of the most serious problem of j the empire was within its grasp. He thought the process of changing the holdings from the landlord to the tenant might possibly cost J:, 500.000 annually, adding: "It surely would be cheap a that jirice." Neither Mr. Redmond nor Lord Dun-j raven beiieve the transfer of the land would involve more than $1,500,000 an nually, and both think that the economy resulting from the cheaper administra tion would greatly reduce this figure if they do not eventually quite wipe oul the necessity for state aid in the pay ment of differences between the maxi mum price the tenant can afford to pay and the minimum price the landlord can accept The Irish Unionist leaders are of the opinion that the whole question might be declared settled in advance if thy government was not so desperately hard up. In consequence of this lac k of fundi Mr. Wyndham's bill wall not be intro duced until after the presentation cl the budget, so that any money to can out the provisions of the bill will not be included in the year's taxes. Chancellor of the Exchequer Ritchie, while quite sympathetic toward Ire land, now faces a more serious finan cial situation and more bitter protests against overtaxation than have con fronted any chancellor in recent years. The phenomenally small government majorities since parliament reassem bled are indications of the storm which is brewing over Mr. Ritchie's head. He must also iloat a new Transvaal loan before Ireland gets an additional penny and the government, with reason. is keen anxious in this despect. Con sols yesterday were at the lowest point reached this year and inquiries made at Anglo-American banking houses, suoti as the Morgans, Seligmans and Spey- ers, reveal the fact that there is indica tion of the Cnited Stales subscribing to a loan. Since the last war loan was so largelv underwritten in New York, j the international monetary system hasj completely changed, and the firms here i say the Americans now need their cap ital for use at home. One financier said "If the government brought out a loan which really provide means for settling the Irish question they would get more underwriting than they would i know wdiat to do with, both here and in America. Mr. Redmond was asked point blank if he thought the landlords were in eainest. He replied: I "I have every reason to think they are just as anxious as we are to settle, once for all Ireland's troubles. If Mr. Wyndham brings in a bill on the lines of decision arrived at by the Dublin conference the greatest step in the in dustrial and social histoiy of Ireland will have been accomplished. More than that it will be a most important step toward home rule. Under the new system the landlords will live in Ire land, derive benefit from their property and begin to take a new interest in Irish affairs. They will then see the necessity for an extension of local gov ernment and will eventually become as anxious as ourselves to secure home rule." Minister Squires Comes Home. New York. Feb. 21.

After a week's work on the roads in Golden Gate park and on Ocean beach Young Corbett, who meets Eddie Hanlon next Thurs day night, began boxing yesterday af ternoon with Monte Attell, the 105- pound brother of Abe Attell. Corbetf still carries a trifle more flesh than ho should, weighing 133 pounds, despite the fact that he has been doing 16 and 17 miles fnp t h last three days in addition to workine with the bag and gymnasium apparatus. Notwithstanding that he is not down as fine as he will be with another week's work, the champion showed what he could do with a fast man. He went four rounds with the clever little San Fran ciscan at a pace that left the latter thoroughly winded a.t the finish, with out extending himself in the least. At the end of the bout Corbett punched thy bag-, practiced footwork and shadow boxing for a full half hour longer. While not professing to be just right yet. the champion showed that he is rounding nicely into good fighting form. That he will make the weight, 130 pounds ring side, easily, there can be no doubt. Corbett wants his friends in the east to know that he is training for the fight, for he thinks that is the best tip he can give them.

Philadelphia, Feb. 21. President Harry Pulliam, of the National league, ar rived in this city yesterday afternoon, and called upon his old employer; Bar ney Dreyfuss. at the Walton. He said that he read in the papers about Drey fuss" illness, and thought he had better come to Philadelphia, as he might be of some assistance to the Pittsburg club owner; The two had a long1 conference about league affairs. Mr. Dreyfuss has been requested by Ban Johnson to be present at a schedule meeting, to be held at Chicago next Monday. In order to do this Dreyfuss will have to close up the deal for the Phillies, and President Pul liam will probably help him in this matter so that he can get through with his business here in time to go to Chi cago. Dreyfuss said: "Should I get through with my business here and find it ab solutely necessary to go to Chicago. then I will meet Mr. Johnson and fix up the two schedules. Thi3 matter hah been delayed long enough. Under ordU nary conditions the National league meeting would be convened next Tues day, but fortunately at the last meet ing it was decided to await the call ot the president before holding the spring schedule session."

(iross Earnings of Railways So Far in February Show Increase of 17.6 Per Cent Oyer Last Year. ADVANCE IN RATES Lade Necessary by Increased Cost of Operation. Dun and Bradstreet on Business Situation. the New York, Feb. 21 R. G. Dun's Week ly Review of Trade says: "Just as the railway congestion be gan to give way before the vigorous efforts of traffic managers.the situation became further complicated by the worst snowstorm ot the season and the movement of merchandise was esain interrupted. Latest figures of groHS earnings show the usual gains, February this far surpassing by 17. S tier cent last year's, when unusual de lay was caused by severs storms, and 1301, by 17.6 per cent. Incieased cost of operations, however, necessitated fur ther advances in rates. Trade was in terrupted to tt considerable extent hy the inclement weather except in cer tain seasonable lines, notably, heavy wearing apparel. "Wholesale houses dealing; in staples have liberal orders, and much forward business has been 1'laced. Jobbers urge quicker ship ments on old orders while travelers send in many contracts. Manufac turers of paper, straw troods and cloth ing report conditions fully as satisfac tory as u year atro, aside from some in terruption by- labor controversies. (.m eittona in the siik industry are shown by no imports of raw material, and t'ne lariie manufacturer has recently rejected orders sufficient to occupy ma plant for two years. Bids are invited for extensive building operations, piv insr strencth and activity to materials and supplies. Although many new blast furnaces are nearly completed and others will be finished within six months the act ual output of pig iron decreases be cause fuel cannot be secured. Quieter conditions prevail in the markets for dry poods, aithoush mills are busy and prices well maintained. Numerous lines of cotton have afrain advanced, in jespon.se to the upward tendency of raw material, and the first result chases by leading buyers. Western jobbers are placing liberal cash orders for fall styles with New Knsland pro ducers of boots and shoes, but whole sale trade at the east is between sea sons. Failures this week numbered 247 in the United States HRainst 250 a year ago and 25 in Canada as compared with 31 last year. liradstreet's says: Winter weather has retarded but not checked spring jobbing: trade, which, despite drawbacks, is still far in ad vance of a year ago. Retail business has been more noticeably effected and buying has lessened temporarily. This has also further accentuated the vex-, iner transportation problem. The favor able side of the weather situation is unquestionably the heavy snow, which has covered the entire surplus produc ing winter wheat belt, putting the plant temporarily at least out of danger from unseasonable changes. Other de velopments of the week were favorable. The price situation, taken as a whole is a remarkable one. Counter produce, butter and epgs, has displayed excep tional strength, while the majority of staples retain their steadiness except where further advances are noted as in the case of cotton poods, which are very strontr at the highest prices in years. Collections are rather better as a whole, ranging" from fair to good the country over. Industry is active, lim ited only by the facilities. The shoe leather trade is rather Jrregu Inr. leather is reported fpiiet except at the west, where considerable Ejaies at foil priees are reported by the tanners. The sutrar market hnn beri unsettled, but the change on the week has been a slight ad v;mee on refined, despite stories that job bers are recruiting prices. Coffee remains steady at close to the lowest price on rec ord. Consumption still leads production in the cruder forms of iron and steel.

In writing of the chances of Tod Sloan being reinstated by the Jockey club of Great Britain, Francis Trevelyan ex presses his views as follows: "The rumor grows that Tod Sloan Is to cet bis license again this year and will be able, if he so wills, to ride on the Knglish turf. I assuredly hope that it is so, but at that 1 have to take the lib erty of doubtins it. "As a matter of fact, whatever one may think of the cases of the other American jockeys who have got into trouble on this side of the Atlantic, one has to concede that Sloan has given the authorities no chance to regard him in the light of a penitent. I will not say that one docs not admire the irrepres sible little man from Indiana for this very thing, but the grand moguls of a game like racing are apt to take an other view of the matter. "Sloan has shot pigeons, has brought French horses over to Kngland and (almost) pulled off .magnificent coups with them, has motored himself into prominence, even if he had never been known as a jockey, and has generally kept himself perpetually in the public eye till one is inclined to doubt whethei the authorities will ever again care to put him in good standing, no matter what one may think of him personally."

The people ot aristocratic South Main street gazed in amazement when Miss Ooldie Cantner was escorted from her luxurious home to the police station to answer the charge of unlawful association covering the period from April 13, 1902, to Feb ruary 15. 1903. The charge is preferred in an affidavit signed by Chief of Police John L. Kramer. Miss Cantner is said to be the daughter of poor but highly respected country people residing near MeComb. Hancock county. Information was conveyed to Chief oC Police Kramer by suspicious neighbors, and the former immediately instituted an investigation. Before Mayor Metcalfe Miss Cantner pleaded innocence, and in default of bail was sent to the city prison to await a preliminary hearing "Wednesday morn ing. The arrest of Miss Cantner and the circumstances attending have ere- ated a profound sensation. The authorities have found numerous letters dictated in terms of deepest af fection by well known men, both mar ried and single, of this city, and by men of Toledo, Piriua, Mansfield and several other large cities. Chief Kramer stated that he had sus pected an existing intimacy between Miss Cantner and the aged attorney named in the affidavit upon which the warrant for the former's arrest is based but that now. he says, he has conclus ive evidence, and will personally prose cute the case in the interest of moral ity. Abilene's Colonial Ball. Abilene. Kas., Feb. 21. The first Colonial ball ever given here was the social event of last evening. About 40 couples, mostly in full Colonial costume, attended. The minuet under the direc tion of Mrs. H. J. Hodge, was the fea ture of the evening, and the occasion was the most enjoyable of the winter in social circles. Connected With One Gotham Companies. New York, Feb. 21. Krnest Matthews, accredited proprietor of the "Fan Smith." "Burns, Wallace Co.," and several other race tipping concerns, un der various names at 66 Park Row, will probably be a prisoner of the federal authorities today. F. S. Commissioner Shields issued a warrant today for his arrest on a charge of using the United States mails for fraudulent purposes. Matthews was in the Centre street court for examination, as the result of the raid on his oflice by the police yes tordai'. Homer Selby, a brother of Kid Mc Coy, was a partner in the J. E. Gardner Company-. Limited, a "turf concern" whose offices in the Flatiron building were vacated suddenly a week ago, when the police got after the propri etors. The scheme was started by Selby at the Central hotel, in Orange. N. J., and its offices were the finest in thi3 city. The rooms were vacated at night. Willie a Plunger. San Francisco. Feb. 21. V. K. Van. derbilt, jr., made a record as a plunger at the race trade today. He bet $1 on Meehanus at 4 to 1, the smallest bet ever sent from the club house. En couraged by his lu k Willie K. sent J5 for a ticket on Andrew Ring for place, and won again, getting 6 to 5 for his money. This ended the young mil lionaire's killing for the day. Hill City Items. Hill City, Kas., Feb. 21. People are feeling jubilant here over the splendid gains Graham county and this place have made in growth and population. Careful statistics have been prepared showing that the county has increased not less than 20 per cent, and Hill City 33 1-3 per cent in their population in the past twelve months. The population of this place today is greater than in the boom days of 1888-1889. It was in lbSS the Salina Oakley branch of the TTnion Pacific was completed to Hill City, and the long train of about twenty cars loaded with merchandise, and a few coaches attached filled with officials of the road and invited guests, including J. P. Pomeroy, and elegantly decorated, pulled into the Hill City depot, met by a brass hand, the firing of guns, and dozens of carriages. In those good old days it was next to impossible to get any liriuid refresh ments here except Solomon river water, but it is said a few days later, after the crowd had all gone, a meeting of the council was held, and among the bills presented for payment was one for $75, the title of which was for "refresh ments." It is said there is in process of erection and contemplation in Hill City stone business houses aggregating $20,000. The new residences of A. E. Kerns and C. E. Webster, business men, will cost up wards of $2,500 each. The new Metho dist church will cost about $2,500. To show the postofRce has increased its business. Postmaster Byerts says that in the last year and a half the business of the office has increased not. less than 30 per cent, and on January 1 last it was made a presidential oflice, and his salary raised accordingly. For the tirst time in the history ot Graham county, it is said, there isn'c a colored official in office. This is per- haps due to the fact that many of the original population of colored people i have left the county, while those re- maining are making money in other more profitable occupations. George W. Jones, colored, ex-county attorney, has built up a lucrative law practice, while W. Ij. Mayers, colored, who has been clerk of the court, county attorney and admitted to the bar, has recently be come fourth owner in a large general store in Hill City. Rev. Daniel Hick man, ex-county commissioner, also col ored, has struck a two years' job in the state house in Topeka. Fx-Register of Deeds Ellen F. Keleher has completed one of the pleasantest homes in Hill City out of the salary she saved while in office. To many of our people it might look as if she was going to share a portion of this home with a life partner. There is a "midway" in Hill City like there was at the World's fair in Chi cago. This don't indicate that it is such a show as that was, but it was on "midway" where Tom McGill has lo cated his Examiner office, only this and nothing more. M. C. Inlaw made more money out of the sale of the Reveille office than he knew what to do with, and has started a meat market. A warm, hospitable reception awaits Lieutenant Governor Hanna on his re turn home from Topeka. All the ac counts from the political and legislative center go to show that he has given the best satisfaction, and that his treatment of the different factions has been fair and impartial. He hasn't been home since the legislature convened. W. H.

How the Trains Fought Snow Drifts in Ne-w Slexico. The Ei Paso Times, speakiritj of the Rock for Tuesday, Island snow blot kade says: The first Rock Island train to arrive in this city since Saturday afternoon came in last evening at 9.30. It was the ioial passenger Xo. 1. which was j aue to arrive here at 5:15 Saturday mornina:. j A passenger who came in on the beia ted train said that the snow storm en- countered up in Xew Mexico was a biiz i zard such as is sometimes encountered in j the northwest. The gentleman said that I the snow boiran falling about o'clock Saturday morning and by daylight the I precipitation was so heavy that it was impossible to see any distance throuitu i the atmosphere. For three hours the j train plodded through the snow witn the engineer unable to see six inches be- yond his t ab window. j At Carrizozo the going became so i heavy that the train could proceed no further and so Btopped. The snow had drifted on the tracks to a depth of three or four feet in places. After the snow storm subsided the I weather turned bitterly cold and a few i men who ventured from the train to a I restaurant some yards away came j near freezing to death before they could J get back. j The train was crowded, there being a number of excursionists aboard, but there was very littie suffering:, the gen tleman said, as the cars were kept nice aiai warm and as there was plenty to L- eat in the dininer car. i Rciief was sent out from Alamo.gordo and some heavy work done in clearing 1 the track. Ahead of the passensrer train was a blockaded freight train which was so ba-diy snowed under that when it tried to move out became derailed. Finally about noon yesterday the track was cleared and Xo. 1 proceeded this way. The Golden State Limited, which was due here yesterday afternoon at z:4a, ffot hung ui in the biizzard, not at Carrizozo, as was reported, but at Tor rence. the fourth station beyond. She had about the same trouble that Xo. 1 had and came in shortly after her last evening. The eastbound Rock Island did not depart last evenius until the two be lated trains from the scene of the i blockade came in. i BUY3 140.000 TIE3. Moffat Boad Will Use "Unmedicated' Long Leaf Pine.

Never since th building- of the Santa Fe Pa cific shops have so many men been paid off as on Monday last. Pay checks were given to 737 men. A gratifying feature is the large number of skilled workmen who draw substantial wages. It was announced several days ago that about Sa.cco would change hands. Add half the amount for trainmen, switch men, yardmen and others in the employ of the railway, and the amount set in circulation from the railroad industry every month assumes satisfactory di mensions.

X'ew York, Feb. 21 The irnst im portant topic bef-are Thursday's meet ing of the American X'ewspaper Pub lisuers association was St. Louis world's fair advertising, which had been in formally discussed for the last two day3 by the members. There ivas a strong feeling existing in favor of asking the world's fair to fur nish some kind of a guarantee that the newspapers would be remunerated for the puidicitv given to the exposition. The president. Charles II. Taylor, of Hoston. called uiion John Schroers of the press an1 and publicity committee of the world's fair to define the policy of the extositic-n in the matter of ad vertising. Mr. Schroers explained the history of the Louisiana Purchase exposition moveme.it, which, he said, is a national enterprise-, and r.ot merely a St. Louis undertaking. a.,- a national affair to commemorate one of the most im. nortant events in the history of the United States, he said it- is the duty i ot every newspaper ia the country to give its unqualified support to the expo sition. which will che all universal expositions of the past, and he assured his hearers that they could safely trust the p.ress and publicity committee cf the world's fair, c-mposed cf representatives of the daily newspapers in St. Louis, to see that their interests n ere conserved. Mr. A. A. Mf Cormick then introduced the following resolution, which after a tui! discussion was adoT.teip; "The American X'ewspaper Publish ers' association, in convention assem bled, recognizing the patio-nal and in ternational importance of the Louisiana Purchase exposition to be held in St. Louis in lie 4. unanimously recommends the earn-.-st and libera! support of its members to secure the success of the great enterprise intended to commemo rate one cf the most important events in th.e history of the United States."

SAVED BY I Charles C. Roe, Assistant City Engineer, Louisville, Ky., writes: Peruna bas a large number of admirers In this part ot Ken tucky, but none more honest than myself for what it has -done for me. was troubled for some years with catarrh of the head and throat which was often a serious annoyance to me, and must have been to my friends. Nine bottles of Peruna cured me and built me up. It seemed to strengthen the nervous system, regulate digestion, and drive away the headache, besides curing the catarrh. 1 have never known of any medicine which seemed to go through entire system and do so Catarrh of the head, nose and throat are very frequent. These victims crowd the offices of catarrh specialists in vain. Mr. Chas. C. Roe once belonged to this unhappy class. A course of Peruna en tirely cured him. 1 here are two things that the whole medical profession agree about con cerning catarrh. The first is that ca tarrh is the most prevalent and omni present disease to which the people in the United States are subject. Ail classes of people have it. Those who stay indoors much and those who go outdoors much. Working classes have it and sedentary classes have it. The doctor finds catarrh to be his con stant and ever-present foe. It compli cates nearly every disease he is caiied upon to treat. The second thing about catarrh on which all doctors atrree is that it is dif ficult to cure it. Local remedies may give relief but they fail to cure per manently. Sprays or snuffs amount to littie or nothing except to give tempo rary relief. Catarrh is freauently located in .in ternal organs which cannot be reached by any sort of local treatment. All this is known by every physician. To devise some systemic internal rem edy which would reach catarrh at its heard from any outside quarter against it. One or two clerks in subordinate j positions who have been 'reduced have' lodged complaints, and one of these was sustained by the secretarv of the in- j ti-rior. It is the unanimous opinion oft every one who knows the relationship between Mr. Ware and the president! that the pension commissioner wiii re-1 ceive a promotion before Roosevelt's trm of office expires. There is no probability however that this change will be made in the immediate future. Fnless Mr. i Ware should conclude f his own no- Hon to return to the practice of law. h will in aii probability remain as pension commissioner for the remainder of Pres- ident Koosvelt's term.

Forty years aeo Dr. Hartmun con fronted this problem. He believed then that he had solved it. He still believes that he has solved it. He cures thousands of peooie annually. Emring all these years Peruna has been the remedy upon which he has relied. It was at hist a private prescription, afterwards manufacturer! expressly for him in large auantities. This remedy. Peruna. is now to be found in every drug store and nearly every home in the land. It is the only reliable internal remedy ever devised to cure any case of catarrh, however long the case may have been standing.

Senat Resolves to Get Down to Work. "We have today an overcrowded cal endar. We have a calendar revision committee which will soon commence to use the pruning knife upon our bills and there wiil be a general scramble to get the biils to the head of the calendar. I think that by doing a little extra work we can dispose of aii these bills." With this speech Senator White of Jewell supported a resolution under which the senate will commence night sessions as a part of its daily programme. The resolution was adopted without objec tion. After this the senate will begin work at 9:30 a. m. instead of 10 o'clock and w ill work for two hours and a half after supper. Most of the senators are worried about the fate of some bill or other now on the calendar. As usual there is a very good prospect that a. lot of bills will die on tne calendar as Senator White predicted. In all more than four teen hundred have been introduced into both branches cf the legislature and only comparatively few of them have be-'-n finally disposed of. From now on the legislature will probably work and w-ork hard on ac count cf the desire cf the individual members to get biils through. SANG FOR THE GOVERNOR.

Lew is, candidate for mayor, has opened up headquarters at 435 Kansas avenue, upstairs, and has John Van Vechten, Fred Jewel and other Repub lican workers in i harge. He will open up a vigorous campaign next week, as soon as the Republican city central committee meets this evening and ex presses itself as satisfied with his qual ifications as a Republican, as it seems almost certain that it w ill do. He is organizing a campaign commit tee, and will within a few days make a public announcement of his plans. "It is not time for fireworks," he said to day, "but you can rest assured that I wall not let people forget that I am runnin g." W. S. Rergundthal will probably open headquarters next week. There wall be a big Bergundthal meeting: in the First ward Monday night at which all the de tails of the Bergunuthal campaign will be arranged. A committee wi!t be ap pointed to work in Mr. Berjrundthal's In terests, air. Bergundthal said today: "I am at a disadvantage with the other candidates because 1 have no or ganized bodies backing me with money. I hope to w in as a compromise candi date, but this leaves me without finan cial backing from either the radical wet faction, or the radical dry faction. Still I hope that some arrangements can be made to keep up a hot campaign in my interests." Hughes had his headquarters open a week ago. and his committees are now making a house to house canvass of the whole town. The people who are mak ing the canvass inquire the number and sex of the voters at each residence, and how they will vote on the mayor ques tion. UNIONS IXPORSE LEWIS. There was a special meeting of the Trades Council last night at whitdi a special committee appointed to inter view the candidates for mayor made its report, and recommended that the unions indorse F. A. Lewis. The com mittee is composed of N. H. Eurdge. R. 1. Palmer, S. B. 'Weaver, George Fieger and J. W. Woody, though the last two named did not serve with the commit tee during the past week. There were about forty present at the meeting, anil the following resolutions were adopted unanimously: "Whereas, A great deal of interest baa been manifested among the laboring people of the city of Topeka and organ ized labor especially to either nominate a labor candidate for mayor, ou endorse, one of the candidates c.f the existing political parties for that position, who will not i.nly give to the tax payers a good business-like adniirri.nrati'in of the affairs of the city, btit. give to the la boring people a recognition which they have been unable to secure ia the past; and believing that organizen labor of this city, with more than .'I.TmO votes, is an element which deserves seme recog nition in the management of the affairs of the city, being money spjnder.3 as wed as tax payers: and "Whereas, The Topeka Trades and Labor council sometime ago appointed a committee to ascertain the best course to pursue in this matter, which commit tee has been in vestigat'ng tl.e conditions and the attitude, of certain candidates towards organized labor and what, if any recognition could be secured front such candidates; and "Whereas, It is the unanimous opinion j oi satq committee tnat tt.e interests ct the laboring people and organized labor of this city will lie better subserved at this time by endorsing one of the can didates for mayor of the existin.tr politi cal parties, archer than !o nominate a labor candidate for this position: and "Whereas, Said committee believes that the interests of organized labor and t'ne laboring people generally of this city will be better served by the election of Frank A. Lewis to this position; v. ho is neither a 'coal baron' nor a v. il estate shark, but a man who lias v." pric ed himself from the bottom rung i:i the ladder to a position of nromlao sc and who has the respect and confib je e of a large majority of the tax payers and business men of our city; therebee be it "Resolved, P.y the Trades am! Lab council of the city of Topeka that v. e endorse the candidacy of .Mr. Lewds and pledge him otir heartiest support in tn contest; and be it furt'ner "Resolved, That a workin.r committee of 100 men tie selected from The labor organizations to cooperate with Mr. i Lewis and Ids comrnilt"e to bring about b.is nomination and election." THERK IS SOME KICKING. Alt the union men do not appear to be satisfied with the action taken last night. Tnere are several classes of union men who will be dissatisfied the Democrats, the radical prohibition ists and those who want to keep the union out of politics. A prominent union man said today that a mass meeting of union men who are opposed to the Lewds endorsement will be called, and the action of the committed r 'pudiated. He says: "This Lewis endorsement was secured by a certain politician who is using the unions for his own advancement. He is carrying out a pledge which lie gave, and w ill receive his pay if Lew is is elected." II. P. Miller, president of the Bar bers' union, makes the following state ment from the standpoint of the Dem ocrats: "To the Fnion Men of Tf peka: "I see in this morning's Capital that a committee from tile Trades and Labor council has taken it upon itself to pledge the support of ttie labor orga nizations of Topeka to Frank A. Lew is for mayor, asking union men to go to the Republican primaries to assist in nominating him. "Now I w ill say that I am one of the union men who believe in the endorse ment of men friendly to organized labor. "I believe that after all candidates have been named by the different po litical parties, it is at times best for labor unions to get together, compare the men, ar.d select the one who comes nearest representing the interests of oragnized labor and v'iio has in the past shown himself to be fair in his atti tude toward organized labor. "1 believe that when a member of a union is placed in the field for any I political party, union men. regardless of party, should unite and assist in j t ieeting their brother member. "But w hen union men are asked by a (committee from the central body to hem to hist nominate any man at a political party primary, I believe it is time to call a halt. "I do not sneak from a party stand point, my position in this matter is ex plained above, but let me ask you some questions: Do you believe it riyht and just to ask union men to commit them selves to any party by voting at party primaries for any man? "I t, you think it l ight and just for our central council to ask us to support any maji before any of the other iolitical parties have even mentioned any man for the othce in question? "Is, it fair to us. as union men. to drag strictly party politics into our organiza t.ur. V "Would it not be more fair and wdse to wait, if any pledge is made to sup port any man, until all nominations have been made? "Supposing some good, consistent member of organized labor is placed in the field by some other political party. What would your position be then, be ing already pledged to support some oLner man? "Think of this, union men! Always stand by and support men for office who are friendly to our cause, but do not let party politics creep into your organization. "I want it distinctly understood that in writing this I say nothing against Mr. Lewis. I respect him as a gentle man and a citizen, but only for the sake of keeping strictly party politics out oi our organization let the central body wait until all nominations are made, then if it is deemed wise let the union men endorse the best man for our in tereststhat is non-partisan action. The action taken last evening: by the com mittee from the trades council is drag ging unionism into pure party politics. "Yours in union, H. P. MILLER, "President Barbers' Union." ET-RIXSR MAKES REPLY. N. B. Burdge, chairman of the commit tee which interviewed the candidates, said tCKlav: "Mr. Lewis made us a better talk than did either Bergundthal or Hughes. "Did he promise to appoint a union man as street commissioner?" ne gave us promises which were saus- fac tory. nut tney were no one. shall Know except mat committee. The rei- mntee of KJO will meet Monday night at Trades assembly hall. The names of the committee can not be made public at this time. There will also be a public mass meeting of union men to boom Mr. Lewds next Friday night. "I desire to say emphatically that the wet or dry proposition does not enter into the indorsement of Mr. Lewis by the Trades and Labor Council of this city. The article in the Morning Capital is an attempt to credit organized labor with be ing influenced by the so-called 'license system.' This Is an insult to every work ing man in this city, as there are no more law-abiding or patriotic citizens anywhere than among the working people and of organized labor. The laboring people are not going to be hoodwinked or led astrav in this contest or diverted from the main issue, so far as they are concerned. "The committee interviewed each of the candidates for mayor and made a full and complete investigation of their past r cord in relation to union labor and was fully convinced that Mr. Lewis, because ot bis training and long life work a a labor ing man. would better subserve the inter ests of the laboring class, of which he is a part: and it was for this reason and none other that the Trades and I.riibor Conned gave him its unanimous indorse ment. The laboring people are getting tired of this 'bugaboo' or wet and dry be ing made the sole issue in every municipal campaign in this city. It may lie all right for certain politicians who have no other stock in trade, but the working people, the taxpayers and the business men gen erally will, T believe, conclude there are other and more important questions at issue- this spring."

That is the statement of a woman -who had never been well until she was made well by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. There are a great many other women in like case. They have always been sufferers from disease. They have never known the joy of perfect health. For all such women Dr. Pierce's Fa vorite Prescription holds out the pros pect of perfect and permanent health, by the cure of the womanly diseases which weaken women. It establishes regular ity, dries weakening drains, heals inflam mation and ulceration, and cures female weakness. It makes weak women strong and sick women well. 'It gives me pleasure to let you know of the great benefit received from Dr. Pierce's medi cines and the advice which you so kindlv sent," writes Mrs. Bertie Parker, "of Botiham. Fannin Co., Texr.s.

SOLDIEKS' &0XU3IENT. Movement to Build One Receives Favorable Action. In the senate, before the committee of the whole this morning-, Senator C. E. Branine mdae an eloquent appeal for the recommendation of the Miller bill for the erection on the state capitol grounds of a monument to the old sol diers of Kansas. His appeal joined with that of Senator II. B. Miller, the author of the proposed measure re claimed the bill from being referred to a committee where it would have prob ably died. The bill has already re ceived the endorsement of the commit tee on military affairs to which it was at first referred. The bill now stands recommended for passage, subject to amendment. The new bill lias the endorsement of the Grand Army headquarters of Kan sas. It contemplates the erection of a colossal memorial monument to cost two hundred thousand dollars which is to be paid for out of the general funds of the state. By a slight increase in the general levy this amount can be easily secured. The bill provides that the best architectural talent in the east shall be secured for designing the mon ument which is to be a lasting testi monial of the appreciation of the peo ple of Kansas for the services perform ed by Kansas soldiers and sailors dur ing the civil war. The Eenaie also recommended for pass age the appropriation bill giving state aid to the Kansas Slate Poultry association for the annual exhibitions put on by that organization. This bill was written by Senator White, as was also another which was recommended for passage. The other bill was the one which provided that when imported cattle have been inspected by a federal sanitary inspector no f"-iher in spection need be given by the State lave Stock Sanitary commission. Many cattle men are interested in this bill. In committee of the whole the senate also recommended Senator Smith's "slan der" bill. This bill specifies some of th? things which may be used a ground for prose.-ution on the charge of criminal slander. CHURCH NOTES. First Methodist Episcopal church. J. T. McFarland. D. D. pastor.

The meeting opened with a prayer by Mrs. G. A. Huron, which was of corafcrt to the sorrowing assemblage.

As a loyal, active, patriotic member of our organization, .Mrs. Thompson had no superior. Being- the preat granddaugnter of Lieutenant William Wallace who was with Washington's army during that terrible winter at Valley Korsre. she naturally inherited that intense love of country which made her conspicuous as a member of our association. Although not a native of Kansas she had passe;! most of her life here, and knew from actuftl experience the trials and triumphs of the early settlers. She loved and was proud of the records of those early days and sought to pre serve them thflt future g-nerjitions mi.eht know to what a grand heritage thy succeeded.

Democrats and Populists Seventh District. in It is possible that there will be no fu sion of Populists and Democrats in the coming special election for congressman in the Seventh district. The Democrats have been supposing that they had the Populists completely swallowed, but now the Populist state central commit tee is protesting-. Some of the Popu lists uo not believe there is any chance to elect a fusionist in the Seventh dis trict anyway, so it is not at all improba ble that there will be both Populist and Democratic candidates nominated. If such a thing is done it will be nec essary to name the Populist candidate by petition to get him on the official baliot. Chairman W. J. Babb. of Wichita, and some of the other members of the Populist state central committee held a meeting Friday afternoon behind closed doors and discussed the future, and the following address was issued by the members of the committee: "To the Members of the County Central Committees of the People's Party of Kansas: "Your state central committee held a meeting at Topeka on February 20, 1MS3, and recommended: "First That our state and county central committees keep up the work of education in behalf of our principles through the press and other avenues. "Second That we should still lead in Kansas in the propaganda of the Peo ple's party principles, which are rapidly gaining adherents everywhere, and es pecially take no backward step on the Questions of direct legislation and col lective ownership of public utilities. "Third That each and every local and county organization should heir in this work of education and see that full county and state conventions are held in the year 19',4. "Fourth That we will make no com promise or combination with any politi cal organization controlled by corpora tions or trusts, but will continue stead fast in maintaining the integrity of our organization and the cause it repre sents.

A. Andree, the Arctic aeronaut, ascended from the north coast of Spitzbergen at Advent Bay and was soon lost to sight forever, he drew up his will. Three minutes be fore he stepped into the car and the balloon rose in the air he signed the document, says the New York Sun. The will declared that he left all his property to his brother. Capt. Ernst Wilnelm Andree, of the Swedish army. It added that his brother would devote a part of the estate to specific pur poses which he had indicated to Capt. Andree by word of mouth. The w-ill was taken back to Sweden and deliv ered into his brother's hands. Before the estate of a deceased per son can be settled in Sweden it is nec essary that his death shall be officially declared and on record in the govern ment offices. There is an official record with regard to Andree in the govern ment offices at Stockholm, but it does not declare that he is dead. It says only that he is missing and that his whereabouts are unknown. Capt. Andree has now applied to the government to declare the lost explor er dead and thus enable him legally to come into possession of the small property which his brother left him. In his petition he says that no one now entertains the slightest hope that his brother may be among the living. All experts in Arctic matters, all sailors who frequent Arctic waters, are unan imously of the opinion that there is not the slightest ground for believing that Andree and his comrades escaped death. It is expected that his petition will be granted and that the death of An dree will be officially declared in the government offices. Until the present time none of Andree's family nor any Scandinavian Arctic explorers had ad mitted that he had given up hope that the explorer would yet be found alive. It is probable that for years his rela tives have really believed him dead, but they were not willing to admit that the last hope had expired. Now, however, his own family are openly of the opinion that the world generally has expressed for the last three years. It is not believed that the ill-fated party were alive many days after they rose into the air from Spitzbergen. It is possible even yet that relics may be found which will give some clue to the exact nature of the disaster that befell the three men and approximately locate tne region where it occurred.

In retaliation for being snowballed, George Swan, aged 17, shot and proD ably fatally injured Alfred Sage, 13 years old, in Parkdale last evening. Swan and another boy, the son of his employer, were driving along Sixth in a buggy when several boys, Sage among the number, began to snowball them. Swan drew a revolver from his i pocket and fired, and the Sage boy feh j to the ground with a bullet through his abdomen. Swan Jumped out of th buggy and ran, and vas not seen again until an officer found him at the home of his employer, J. F. Curliss, of 728 Lime street. He admitted the shooting, but said that it was accidental, and thav. he intended only to frighten the boyj who were throwing. The revolver waa not, found on his person when he wast searched, and he declared that he had thrown it away as he ran from the scene of the tragedy, but the officers are inclined to think that he concealed it at the Curliss home before he was cantured. As soon as possible the injured boy was taken to his home, 712 Lime street, and Drs. JIunn and Kllinger were called. nen they arrived they ordered his re moval to Stormont hospital, which was done. An operation was performed at 8 o'clock last night and the bullet, a 32- i calibre, found and extracted. A telephone message from the hos- pital today announced that the boy was j resting easily and getting along as well as might be expected under the circum- stances. The bullet penetrated both wall of the stomac h, entering from the left side. j Sage lives in Parkdale and his father. S. J. Sage, is a cobbler. The Swan boy is practically an orphan. His father is j dead, and his mother is somew here in Oklahoma, and he has not heard from j her for a year. None of his relatives live in this country. He was arrested by Sheriff Cook last summer for stealing a horse from a farmer for whom he had worked near Silver Lake, but was re leased after it was learned that the farmer had refused to pay him his wages, and that the horse was but a fair exchange. The Injuries received by the Sage boy are such that his death is liable to be the result, and a state charge against Swan will be deferred until further de velopments. Elkins Bill Is Signed.

(Continued from First rage.) other things being equal the officer who keeps his mind alert by intellectual ex ercise, and who systematically studies the reasons of action, and the mater ials and conditions and difficulties with which -we may have to deal will be the stronger practical man and the better soldier. The same considera tions which have led individual enter; prise to build up the great universities and technical schools to which the graduates of our schools and colleges resort to perfect themselves in -every profession and in every branch of ap plied science apply with equal force to education and in the science of war. It is fitting that our government should profit by the lesson which all its citizens have learned, that for success in any business the evolu tion from the simple to the complex must be accompanied by a more per fect system, a more careful selection of agents and a broader training of the men upon whom fall the responsi bilities of control. "Xo better illustartion of the necessi ty of such an institution as this, and of a general staff to make its work ef fective can be found than in the fate which befell the work of a soldier to whose memory I wish to pay honor to day. Brevet Major General Emory Up ton, colonel of the Fourth artillery. Graduated from West I'oint in the year 1S60 he became while almost a boy one of the most distinguished officers of the civil war. He commanded suc cessively a battery of artillery, a regi ment of infantry, a brigade of infantry, a brigade of artillery and a division of cavalry. Constantly in the field, he ex hibited in camp and march and in scores of battle dauntless and brilliant courage, strict and successful discip line, and the highest qualities of com mand. Prof. Michie, revered authority, said of him: 'No one can read the story of his bril liant yareer without concluding that he had a real genius for war, together with all the theoretical and practical knowl edge which any one could acquire in regard to it. He was the equal if not the superior of Hoehe, Uesaix, or Skobe- lorf in all the military acconiplislmif rt-J and virtues and up to the time when he was disabled by the disease which caus ed his death he was. all things consider ed, the most accomplished soldier in our service. His life was pure and upright, his bearing chivalric and commanding, his conduct modest and unassuming" and his character absolutely without blem ish. History can not furnish a brighter example of unsehish patriotism or of ambition unsullied by an ignoble thought or an unworthy deed.' "After the close of the civil war he ad dressed himself to the task of interpret ing the lessons of that war to his coun trymen for the improvement of our mil itary system. Of his own motion he devised a new system of tactics which being capable of adoption by a Simple military order was adopted and revolu tionized the tactics of the army. on the recommendation of Generai Sher man he was sent around the world with two associate oilicers to study the arm ies of Kurope and Asia and upon his return he made a report which gave the results of all his accumulated experience and observation. He recommended th--three battalion formation in cavalry and infantry regiments. He recommended interchangeable service in staff ami line as against the permanent staff depart ments. He recommended examinatijn as a condition to promotion. He recom mended the establishment of a genr-i'. staff and he recommended the general and systematic extension of military ed ucation. i-His recommendations had be hind them" an' the prestige of his bril liant military career. They had the ad vocacy and support of the great soldier who then commanded the American armies General Sherman. Thev em bodied the practical lessons of the civil war and the results of military science throughout the world. Yet his voice was as the voice of one crying in the w ilderness. The government did not even print bis report, but with those of his associates it was filed in manu script and forgotten among the millions of documents in the archives of the war department. "General I'pton subsequently present ed the report himself for the benefit of the public through a private publisher. A copy may now and then be found at a second hand book store. More than a quarter of a century later and long after death had ended the restless striving of that farseeing intelligence, other men working out the same problems with which he dealt found the sanity and wisdom of his conclusions and gave them effect. Were Upton living today, still upon the active list of the army, lie would Fee all of the great reforms for which he contended substantially se cured. "The three battalion system, the in terchRngeability of staff and line, ex aminations for promotion and now, by the wisdom of the present congress, the establishment of a general staff and the completion of the system of military education upon the controlling body which will find its permanent home in the building whose cornerstone we lay todav. "Many an officer has studied and striven and written and appealed in vain for improvements in the military ser vice, and has passed away, and he and his work have been forgotten. The help lessness of the single individual who seeks to improve a system has settled into helplessness. The wisdom acquired in each officer's experience has been buried with him. Only an institution perpetual but always chanaing in its individual elements, in which by con ference and discussion a consensus of matured opinion can be reached can perpetuate the results of individual ef fort, secure continuity of military policy and command for its authorized, con clusive expressions of military judgment upon miliary questions the respect and effectiveness to which that judgment is entitled. "I am sure that I speak truly when I say the president and congresses and secretaries of war invariably desire such aid in the performance of their duti's and for this 1 look with hope and con fidence to the general staff of the army and its great adjunct, the war college, which we are now establishing." Major General S. B. M. Young, presi dent of the war college, then delivered an address. Grand Master Walker assisted by the other officers of the grand lodge of Ma son0 of the UiHtriet of Columbia, then laid the cornerstone of the new build ing in accordance with the impressive ritual of the Masonic fraternity. The ceremonies were concluded by a bene diction pronounced by Bishop Satterlee. The president returned ti the White House at 1:25 o'clock. Pensions for Kansans. Washington, D. C. Feb. 21.

Believed That the Simon Meas ure Will Pass. Kansas is likely to have a new game law: one that will be of some conse quence for the protection of wild game and fish, and will punish infringements with a heavy hand. Senator Simons of Wellington is the author of the bill that was passed by the senate today and will at once be placed before the house of representatives. It provides for the establishment of a fish and game commission. If the bill is made a law it will pro hibit fishing except with rod and line. Land owners are permitted to hunt upon their own preserves. There will be no open season for game or fish of any kind. The fish commissioner alone will have authority to cast his net in other people's streams and if he does it for other than business purposes he i liable to prosecution. The ordinary sauirrels found in Kansas woods v are placed under the protection of the law. and the man who wanders idly forth with fowling piece and guns a squirrel from a neighbor's tree places himself liable to arrest by the game warden. I who by prosecution can subiect him tt a fine of $100 or more. Song birds, such as the oriole, robin, thrush, redbird, bluebird and mocking bird, are given the protection of this law, as are also the jay, partridge, grouse, turtle-dove and meadow lark. Especially heavy penalties are provided for the shipment of game by railroads, and the game commissioner and his ueputies are given authority to investi gate where he has reason to think game prepared or intended for shipment is located. No provision is made for the trapping or killing of game for seientifn. purposes. Senator Simons is enthusiastic over his bill and believes it will be carried safely through both houses. In talking of it he said: "Quail and like birds are rapidly dis appearing from the state and have al- j ready become scarce even in the more j sparcely populated sections of the state. Kansas Clearly needs for her game the j protection of a rigid law and a system by which it shall be enforced. The; same thing applies to the fish in Kansas streams. The streams of Kansas are perfectly adaptable to the propogation of many kinds of fresh water tish and there have been times when they were abundant but many of the best creeks and rivers are fished out. In a few years' time under protection they could be restocked. After that the population of the stream could take care of itself under reasonable watchfulness on the part of the state." Among the provisions of the law are the following: "Section 2. It shall be the duty of the state fish and game commissioner to visit all of the principal streams of the state which contain tish at least once in eftch year, and ascertain by personal in vestigation the kind of fish best adapted to such streams, and to restock and re plant said streams with fish or small fry as the government, the state or in dividuals may furnish the same or pro vide the means to do so. It shall be the duty of the fish and game commissioner to enforce the fish and game laws when ever it is possible for him to do so. "'Sec. 3. The state fish and game com missioner shall, immediately after the passage of this act, appoint ns many deputies and fish and game commission ers in the various counties of ibis states as may be necessary to properly care for the stocking of the streams and the protection of the game." It shall not be unlawful to ang!3 at any season of the year with rod rnd line. Any person fishing in any other manner is liable to a fine of from $100 to $200 and imprisonment of from one to six months. The prohibition upon hunting is as follows: J 3 "See. 11. Tt shall be unlawful for any person or persons at any time, except as hereinafter provided, to hunt, catch, kill, shoot, pursue, entrap or ensnare any partridges, pinnated grouse or prai rie chicken, grouse, quail, pheasant, oriole, meadow iark, mongolian pheas ant, robin, thrush, redbird, mocking bird, bluejay, turtle-dove, or bluebird, deer, timber squirrel, or antelopa for a period of five years from the approval of this act." It shall be unlawful for any person. company, or corporation to ship any, pinnated grouse. partridges, grouse, j prairie chicken, quail, pheasant, deer or antelope out of the state of Kansas I within five years from the passage of the act. And any railroad company con victed cf receiving game for shipment shall be liable to a fine of not less than Sl.tHK) nor more than $3,000 and costs. The bill eives the tish commissioner power to appoint deputies in ail parts of the state and pmvides, in cases of prosecution, the assessment of $25 costs against the defendant for the fee of the officer making the arrest. LOCAL GAME BILL. This One Applies Only to Hamilton County. Representative Bobbins had a local bill come up in the house to prohibit the killing of quail and prairie chickens in his county, Hamilton, in the next two yours. A number of other counties wanted the same bill to apply to them, ami Mr. Rnbbins allowed them to come. Among these w-ere Wichita. Greeley, S-.ott. Finney and Decatur counties. Kcprcsi nt ttive ICing moved to strike out the names of all individual counties, thereby m iking it apply to the w hole state. This started trouble. A lot of members wanted their counties except ed. and King's amendment was voted down. F.-L. Vandegrift tried to get in his amendment making it illegal to catch, snare or trap the jack in th.e game of seven u.. Finally Mr. Robbins asked that th-. bill be laid over until all the counties that wanted to be included in it had a chance to i:et in. EARLY SESSION FAILED. Members of House Can't Get Up for 9 O'clock Session. The house attempted the experiment of meeting at 9 o'clock this morning, but it was not a success. There was a good deal less than a Quorum at that hour, and it was nearly 10 o'clock when Sneaker Pi-ingle counted the necessari es members in representative hail. Vorllinfjmen will find that it pays to use Ivory Soap. Ordinary laundry soaps are good for scrubbing floors ixut not for tlie sliin Ivory Soap G922im Per Cent Pure... When the roll was called the nurabei had crept up to 68, but nearly half the seats were vacant, because so many members had gone home for Sunday. REPORT IS NOT TRUE. Agricultural College Budget Not Tet Made TTp. The house ways and means commit tee is still wrangling over the appropri-. ation for the State Agricultural college. It was reported that the committee had agreed to give the college $.40,000 for a new chapel. 515,000 for a creamery building, S10.000 for a water plant. $5,000 for additions to the machine shops. $90, 000 for maintenance, and minor items sufficient to bring the total for the next two years up tc $240,0.00. Chairman Francis says this report is untrue and that the committee has not yet agreed on the appropriation. A fee system will be established which will bring the college about $10,000 a year. SHORTENS REDEMPTION TIME Noftzger Amendment May Reduce It to Six Months. Senator Xoftzger's amendment will become a part of the mortgage redemp tion law as it has been reeommenden for passage by the committee of the whole in the house of representatives. The amendment tends to shorten the time in which a man may redeem pro perty after the expiration of the mort gage. As the law now stands he has IS months in which to do it. The provision of the new bill is that the property goes to the mortgagee after six months if it is not occupied by the person giving the mortgage. The mortgagor may have a year and a half to redeem the property if he gives bond not to waste the land or buildings and pays rent for their use. In case he redeems the propertv the rent paid is credited to the amount paid for the redemption. Senate Revision Committee. In the senate the following members have been appointed upon the calendar revision committee which from now on will have everything to say about the preference shown to bills upon the cal endar; Leidy, Chaney, Smith, Sponabie and Cubbison. There are so many bids ahead of the senate it can not hoD to get through with all of them in regular order. The work of the committee will theoretically be to push forward the most necessary and meritorious. Prac tically the bills that have the strongest pull behind them will go forward. For Broom Factory. ,The ways and means committee of the senate has recommended for passage the bill to establish a broom factory at the Hutchinson reformatory. The commit tee cut $5,000 off the $25,000 asked for to buiid and eauip the plant, but ap proved the $20,0o revolving fund to se cure material and cover running ex penses. Senator Findlay. of Rice coun ty, which is a big broomcorn producing county, is the author of the bill. Harris Is Thankful. On the floor of the senate Wulfekuhler of Leavenworth announced to the sen ate his receipt of a letter from Sen ator W. A. Harris expressing his thanks for the senate's endorsement of his can didacy for a place on the isthmian canal commission. LEGISLATIVE SIDELIG H TS. The fellow servant bill, which was reintroduced by Balie Waggener, has been recommended for passage. It went to the committee on state aflairs. which sent it to the judiciary committee, and this time it has come back and will go on the calendar. Representative Law has Introduced a bill requiring the age of garden seeds to be stamped on each package sold. Representative Watkins has a bill re quiring that all business colleges shall incorporate and submit their courses of study for approval to the state sup erintendent of public instruction. The house judiciary committee has recommended for passage the bid intro duced by Archie Williams to punish window smashers. Representative Hill's bill to prevent the harvester combine from compelling i retail dealers to handle only one kind of machines has already been killed by the judiciary committee. j The bill making it a misdemeanor lo j try to beat a livery bill has been killed in committee.

Seven sailors de serted from the brig Geneva last night and attempted to row" ashore in a sinail boat. Only four of the men have since been heard from and it is believed that the others were drowned. The men who deserted are Frank Hutcheson, George Dopeman, J. Gilies, James Bryant, Jas. Kelly, James Davie and George Hutton. Their boat was broken by striking on a reef and four men were seen to come ashore. They are in hiding and it is not known who were drowrned. GLM VEXDElt LOST 300. Invested His Entire Savings in Get' Rich-Q,uick Schemes. St. Louis, Feb. 21. From the sale of chewing gum, P. J. Randolph, the aged vender who stands in front of the Olympic theater, managed to scrape together $.100, which went the way of the other investments made in the LI. J. Arnold Co. fiasco. Randolph is frugal in his habits, and although his business operations are confined entirely to the trade he ob tains at the entrance of the. Olympic,', he had managed to accumulate $200.' He is about 60 years of age. With hopes of affluence for his de clining days, Randolph watched his in vestment earn $70 in a few short weeks. Night after night, in all kinds of weather, as he stood before the door of the theater, he calculated his profits. At length he managed to save $30 more and, putting it with the $70 earn ed by interest, he took it to the office of Arnold Co. the very day the news-, papers heralded the collapse of the con cern. The $300 which Randolph lost in the downfall of the turf concern represents 6,000 packages of chewing gum. or 30,000 slips of the succulent confection enough to supply a w-hole theatrical season at the Olympic. But Randolph is game. He says that he is an old man and therefore knows that bis investment was only a delus ive gamiile. He does not bemoan his fate, but accepts the unpleasant turn of affairs with the philosophy of the patient who followed the label on the castor oil bottle: "Directions Take it." Big Strike in Holland. Amsterdam, Feb. 21. The railroad employes of Holland have decided tti cease work with the object of prevent ing the adoption of the proposed law prohibiting railroad strikes. A meeting of the leaders of workmen's unions having a membership of 9,000 has re solved to support the railroad men. Th; date of the strike has not yet been an nounced. Gould to Coach Annapolis. Anapolis, Md Feb. 21. The Naval Academy Athletic association has select ed Charles Gould, left end and captai l of Yale's IMIl team, as head coach of the academy football eleven for ino:;. Other coaches will be selected later by approval of Mr. Gould, who will have full charge of the team. LET'S GO TO HOBART'S The Cut -Rate Drug Store.

The New York production is promised in- tat t in membership and all sumptuous accessories of scenery and costumes, just the same as staged during the run of the wrk at the New York Herald Square theater. Few performances hi N.-w- York are accorded the praise lav ished on tins production, public anJ critical newspaper opinion pronouncing it one cf the genuine comic operas of years.

"In the Shadow cf the Gallows," which will be at the Crawford Sunday night is a melodrama with a thrilling plot, carefully worked out. elaborately staged in four acts and thirteen scenes and presented by a capable company supporting Miss Liilian Mortimer, an exceptionally clever actress and a woman of marked literary ability for Miss Mor timer is the author of the piay in which she takes the leading part of the hero ine, "Eiris Dale." Miss Mortimer, whose abilities as an rctress are well known, has given the stage a melo drama of far more than passing merit. The plot is plausible, the story connect ed and the climaxes are thrilling and effective. Miss Mortimer appears at her best in the role of "Kdris Dale," a part that requires careful handling and at tention to every detail, and because of i her close attention to the part and caje- 5 v .is. i gum j&m "'1' J' S ht A mS fcaias" Sggp' 4aS fettles cnly.

That they have improved the characters since last seen here will be patent to ail w ho re member the production of last season. I Their little by-plays and mannerisms. their facial expressions and enunciations i and general adoption to the ideas of the I dramatist, are excellent. They are well supported, and in fact, with one or two exceptions, the characters are old fa vorites here. The Augustin Daly Musical company which is now appearing in "San Toy" and which is to be seen at the Crawford on Tuesday is the organization which was originally formed by the late Au gustin Daly to alternate with his dra matic stock company and present Eng lish musical comedy at Daly's theater in New York. It has since his death been kept together cn the same lines and run in the same manner although of course 1 it would be manifestly impossible to j have kept all the original members to gether. Since the inception of the or iianization quite a number of these Eng i lish musical plays have been given, i among them being "The Circus Girl." "The Gaiety Oirl." "The Runaw ay i lirl." "The Geisha" and "San Toy." All of j these have been distinguished by the daintiness ar.d eatchiness of the music and the popularity they have attained with the public. "San Toy" is said to be one of the very best of all of them, and mace an unprecedente 1 record in long runs both in this country and in England. Its career in New York city is chiefly remarkable from the fact that it is the only attraction of its kind which ever had three long runs at dif ferent times cn Broadway. It is being presented this seasonu;;der the same I management as hereto-fore and by much the same erst. In the company are Parnuel Collins, George K. Fortescue, Hobart Smock.. Nagle Barry.

THE STJPEKSTITION OF ACTORS Are as Bad in This Respect as Circus Folks and Sailors. Actors are much given to superstitions and have made lifelong enemies of those who violated their beliefs on these points. If two players are dressing in the same quarters with those who beiieve the caprice and one in a moment of lax thought were to whistle the latest pop ular melody as a means to subdue nerv ousness it is a. sure sign that one or the other will be whistled out of the com pany before long. This superstition is observed by a great many intelligent players. Taking a squint through the curtain on an opening night portends grief to the production, and speaking the iast line of the play. known as "the tag," likewise augurs nothing favorable for the undertaking in rehearsal. Black cats crossing the stage, or in fact any cat crossing the stage, is an evil sign. John Drew, however, is not given to these foibles and laughs at the observ ance Gf the aforesaid superstitions. Tnat his belief is solid is evinced by the means he took to combat the tenet3 of the faithful on the opening night of "The Mummy and the Humming Bird" at the Empire theater, New York. The house cat, biack as the reputed imps of had-?, has been in the theater for years, and has never been known to be unkind or unprofessional enough to go on the stage during the progress of a play. She weakened, however, on the eventful night, and jumped on at the instant of Mr. Drew's lirst entrance. The applause scared her. and off she went, the clatter cf appreciation for the actor changing to a ripple of laughter for the cat. The players were in a panic, and, with the nervousness of an opening, were hardly to be r?lied upon for the evening's pre sentation. Mr. Drew then fought his players with their own credulity. After the first act. with a mystic wave of his hands, he pronounced the words: "Rum tig a bage a si, ourobua a mineo, de luoabits aiona. lub a lum a Ion a, son a rnola ga riga." It satisfied them ami they were restored to normal condi tions. KENDALL'S HUMORIST FRIEND Wanted io Poae for a Photo raph j With "The Vinegar Buyer." I Ezra Kendall, who has been playing j in Brooklyn this week, has spent many cf his aiternc-ons on Broadway renew- ir.g old fcqUE-intances and entertaining them with some of his recent experi ence's on the road, i "There is a man I am going to meet next week." said Kendall to a New Yolk i friend, over in Pennsylvania. I have never failed to hear from him every time I get anywhere near Philadelphia. I Aecordmg to ids letters he is apparently a local humorist, and according to what he says finis some support from widely declaring himself a friend of mine. The iast time I went into the Quaker City I receded a letter in advance announc ing that he would be at my hotel the day I arrived.

Si rays and Couches Eo Kot Cure. Pow;ders, lotions, salves, sprays and inhaiers caai.ot reaiiy cure Catarrh, be cause this disease is a blood disease. and local applications, if they accomplish anvthing at ail, simply give transient r-..i -f. The catarrhal poison is in the biood and the mucus membrane of the nose, throat and trachea tries to relieve the system by secreting large quanities of mucus, the discharge sometimes closing up the nostrils, dropping into the throat, causing deafness by closing the Eusta chian tubes, and after a time causing catarrh of stomach or serious throat and lung troubles. A remedy to really cure catarrh must be an internal remedy which will cleanse the blood from catarrhal poison and remove the fever and congestion from the mucous membrane. The bi-st and most modern remedies for this purpose are antiseptics scientif ically known as Bed Gum, Blood Roof and Hydrastin, and whiie each of these have been successfully used separately, yet it has been difficult to get them all combined in one palatable, convenient and efficient form. The manufacturers of the new ca tarrh cure, Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, have succeeded admirably in accom plishing this result. They are large, pleasant tasting lozenges, to be dis solved in the mouth, thus reaching every part cf the mucous membrane cf the throat and finally the stomacn. Unlike many catarrh remedies, Stuart's Catarrh Tablets contain no co caine, opiate or any injurious drug whatever and are equally beneficial for little children and adults. Mr. C. R. Rembrandt of Rochester, N. y., says: "I know of few people who have suffered a much as I from ca tarrh of the head, throat and stomach. I used sprays, inhalers, and pow-ders for months at a time with oniy slight re lief and had no hope of cure.

Shipp's Circus Will Be Given Rain or Shine Every Day Next Week. Shipp's indoor circus begins a week's engagement at the Auditorium Mon day night. The performance will open with the equine ballet, which is one of the best features of the show, and is moreover an absolutely new act. It will take the place of the grand entree,' which ha.s introduced circuses from time imme morial, and it is thought that it will be found a very pleasant feature. The music for the show will be of the tra ditional circus sort, full of hurry and excitement. The "Hi-There" band, which was such a hit of last year's winter citcua. will furnish the music for this one. and it is promised that the band will live up to its reputation of j furnishing bright, snappy and appro- j priate music for the various circus acts. There will be a clown band, too, to furnish diversion when the real mu- j sicians pause for breath, and It will be made up of the principal funmakers THE DARING RII)EK WITH 2Iiss Julia of all the big tent shows, headed by Art Adair, the musical clown, who plays ail sorts of instruments and is really funny into the bargain. The members of the famous Da Coma family will probably furnish as excit ing a few minutes as will be seenat the winter circus, for they are down to appear in their two acts, w-hich have made them the most sought circus per formers in the world. They will be seen first in a ground acrobatic act which all of the families" in circuses have been endeavoring to copy without suc cess for years. They fairly begin their work where all the others leave olf, performing feats that are almost in credible. The most interesting part of their exhibition will probably be what is called a "quadruple return act." An enormous rigging of trapezes is hung close to the iron girders, and the Da Comas introduce a succession of dou ble somersaults in midair across the entire oreautn ot tne arena. The Lowande family, whose members have been circus riders for generations, will be represented by three perform ers, ail cf whom will figure in eques trian acts. Cine cf them. Miss Julia Lowande, a beautiful young woman and daring rider, is the principal wo man rider of the Ringhng shows.

A New Italian Baad Leader Will Bid for Honors at the Auditorium. Creatore, the great Italian band lead er, who is setting the country wild with his earnestness and the grandeur of his music, will appear at the Auditorium with his famous organization for a con cert on March To those who have not seen Creatore and heard his band this will be a new sensation. There ia no question of the excellence of this music, as some of the ablest critics have pronounced it mar velous. Such sentiment, such passion and tenderness, it is declared are rare and almost unheard of before. But it is the intensity of Creatore's own mu. szcal personality which so greatly inter ests and attracts the public. He is man of slight, almost frail, appearance, but with the air of an artist, long black hair, frail-like arms and long but wei. shaped hands and fingers. When he comes forward to lead his band, ho seems to become suddenly possessed of some great power, and is transported, as it were, to a realm of his own. He seems utterly oblivious of everything about him save the musicians before him. He enter3 into the work of con ducting wdth an ardor and agility never before witnessed. In a graceful way he throws his arms and head about with an SHIPP'S INDOOR CIRCUS. r. Oi Lowanda. Sbandon whii-h is astonishing, moving aoout among the musicians threatening. imploring, inspiring them to piay thir j best. The grotesque thing about the performance is the way his hair flies in j ail directi ons during the swaying of his j boay in his frenzy at a great forte or climax. MME. B A RILL Mme. Bariii. a beautiful and charm ing woman, with a high range lyric so prano voice of excellent quality, will be heard here with Creatore and his Italian band. Mme. Borili sings all of her numbers with band accompaniments. which are arranged by Creatcre himself, and these are said to be wonders of in strumentation. This visit from the great and famous Italian leader, who has set New York music-mad as w-eil as created a sensation in every other city w-here he has arpearei, will be one cf the mft interesting musical events of the season. The band consists of fifty or more players, and under tne almost hypnotic influence of this leader they play with marvelous effect.

I'M Howe, the official brass band edi tor, in referring to Kllery s Italian band concert in Atchison says: "Did you no tice that there wasn't a hollow cheeked man in the band last night? There is a suggestion in this for the old girls. If their cheeks are falling in, let them take a horn to the woods and blow it." City Attorney Charles F.

No wonder the mem bers feel the need of a small army ot "attendants' about two to each mem ber." Rent Murdock says in the El Dorado Republican: "We are giad to know that Miss Stinckinsclieniise, of Newton, is married. Her husband's name is plain Stinck.

Murdock has been reporting the legislature for the Wichita Eagie since he was elected president of the Kansas Day club. AN A NT I CIGARETTE BILL. It Makes Its Biennial Appearance Today. An old-time friend appeared in the house today. It was the anti-cigareU-1 bill. It was introduced by Dr. Farris of Sumner. A broad smile spread over the faces of the older members as the bill w n read, and Ralie Waggener laid back in his chair and laughed. "I guess it's a little late lor this bill this year," In said. None but the best of motives it at tributed to Dr. Farris in introducing the bill. He isn't the kind to whom sinister motives are generally attributed anu tu has introduced the bill in good faith. He is a physician and believes cigarettes are a bad thing, especially for boys. This is his first term in the legislature and he did not see why so many mem bers smiled when he introduced it, and he asked a newspaper man what the trouble was When it was explained to him he said: "Well, I think it's a good measure, just the same, and it ought to become a law. I did not get the bill up myself, but it was handed me by my colleague, Mr. Jeffries, who said he had to go away. Mr. Jeffries said somebody gave it t him, but he couldn't be her?. I think it's a good bill anyway." This particular bill provides a fine of from $10 to $50 for selling cigarettes at all, or imprisonment from ten to twenty days, or both fine and imprsonroent. The anti-cigarette bill has been used as a holdup club in so many former legislatures that its introduction is al ways looked upon as an indication that somebody is trying to get a line on the lobby of the tobacco tr ust. 31AS0NS AID A BROTHER. Give Their Cuticle to Save a Scalded Member. New York, Feb. 21. True fraternity on the part of brother Master Masons will save the life of Wilson Fredericks, who lies in Muhlenbursr hospital, in Plainfleld, with the skin scalded from one-third of his person. Jready a num. ber of them have bared their arms to the surgeon's knife, and the operation wiil be continued until the parts de nuded of cuticle are covered. The sorely alHicted man was injured in the railroad disaster at Westtield on January -7. The skin grafting operation was sug gested by Dr. Albert Pittis, also a Ma. son. and it was decided upon as a last resort. The Masonic order rushed to the dying man's rescue. There was no lack of volunteers. Dr. Pittis removed large pieces ot cuticle from the forearms of three whJ appeared at the hospital Tuesday night. These bits of skin were gently placed on the suffering man's bendy. Again other Masons bared their arms yesterday This operation will be continued until the entire scalded portion of Mr. Fred crick's body is ar;ain covered with skin. It will be several months before the work is completed. The strips arc placed at eaual distances apart, and ix is asserted that new skin wiil form be tween these strips. Mr. Frederii'ks is a member of Anchor lodge No. 149, A. F. and A. M. He is a resident of Dunellen. N. J., and is chier clerk in the New York office of the United States Express company.

Representative King today introduced the following resolution in the house: "Whereas, Our respected chaplain, the Rev. A. C.

Mr. King suggested that it be re ferred to the Topeka Ministerial union, but on motion of Francis it was laid "under" the table. BLAMES IT ON FERNS. Mine Inspector Castleman on the Proposed Legislation. Seme of the legislation asked for by the miners' unions has died in the legis lature in various ways, and David Cas tleman. state mine inspector, blames Francis Ferns, of the miners' legisla tive committee, for the failure. He says Ferns wants to brins discredit on hira as state mine inspector and on the state administration because he (Castie man) discharged Ferns as deputy mine inspector for Cherokee county. Castle man says Ferns worked asainst the "double entry" bill, to give mines bet ter ventilation. He also says Ferns it at the bottom of the movement, to take the election of the state mine inspector out of the hands of the State Society of Miners and place it with a com., mission of two miners, two operators and a mining engineer. WHY HE FOUND NO DOLLAR. Servant's Hands Were Larger Than Amos Cummings' Feet. It is not an invariable rule that peo ple of culture alone can turn a grace ful compliment. Even the uncouth and uneducated sometimes have that art. It is related that the late Amos Cummings of New York had occasion while a con gressman to engage a servant. A man of large build, German descent and heavy accent was engaged on trial. "This pair of shoes is to be polished each morning for ten days," was one of the orders given by Mr. Cummings. "Ac the end of ten clays call and I'll let you know as to the future. You shall re ceive 10 cents a shine." The German agreed. When he calied for the shoes the second morning he found that they had not been worn. The brilliancy resulting from hi previous effort was still theie. On the third day Mr. Cummings shoved a silver dollar into the toe of one of the shoes. When the servant called on the tenth day Mr. Cummings said: "I suppose, William, you received your money for shining those shoes?" "I nefer seen it," and William looked inquiringly. "William, did you polish those shoes each morning for ten days?" asked the representative from New York sternly. "Kfery time." Cummings now picked up one of the shoes and shook out a silver dollar. "I placed this dollar here for your pay. How did you happen to miss it for eight consecutive mornings?" William, who had not thought it nec essary to touch the shoes after the first morning, was cornered. But he soon overcame his confusion and cr!m!y turning- from a survey of his large hands to an admiration of Mr. Cum mings' feet, he said: "If dose shoes were made for rny hands and not for your feet den I could haf reached the dollar." The compliment secured the dollar, but not the job. Chicago Chronicle. 2ust Wait a Century St. Louis. Mo., Feb. 21. The will of Pror.

Such is the case with a Plymouth Illinois, lady who writes: "Here are a few lines about my self and how I wascured by Grape-Nuts food. "For over a year I was almost pros trated with what two of our best doc tors called catarrh of the bowels. Every- thing I ate seemed to hurt me so my husband, having heard of the pre-diges- j ted food Grape-Nuts, purchased a pack- age and had me try it. j "I can truthfully say that one package did nie more good than anything else I had tried. So I have continued the use of it ever since. "I quit medicine and used Grape Nuts and it has made me sound and well and I would gladly recommend it to others. "You may use my name."

There is no medicine in the world that will add to a person's weight with the rapidity of milk, and combined with perfect rest the thinnest of women may soon become plump by indulging in il. "Do you want to learn how to increase your weight and gain strength and nerve force in the easiest possible way?" asked the plump little woman as she settled into a corner of the divan for a comfortable chat. Her listeners, accord ing to the Brooklyn Eagle, were half a dozen women who go in for the strenu ous life to a greater or less degree, and consequently any one of them can stand a few extra pounds without inconveni ence. "Of course," was the reply. In chorus. "Well, then, drink milk, nothing but milk, for months," said the plump one. "I've tried it, and I think I am a pretty good illustration of the effectiveness of the milk diet. Four months ago I was a nervous wreck. Couldn't stand any thing, wept if the least thing went wrong at home, jumped a foot every time the door bell rang:, and was fast becoming a nuisance to myself and all the rest of the family. "Fortunately. I have a little common sense, and my doctor has more, so when I was ordered to drop everything and Just 'rest' for awhile I did it, with the result that I have gained 51 pounds in weight and my health is completely re stored. "I lived on milk, as I told you, and rested according to directions, spending my time in a lovely old rest-cure home up the state. The diet and the rest ef fected a cure without any medicine whatever. I might add, though, that the milk was not the ordinary deooetiori served by the dealers of the metronolis, but a rich, erearrr substance furnished bv the fine-st brand of Jersey cows. "How hard it was for an active body like me to 'rest' for 16 weeks you stren uous folks can appreciate, but if you want to become plump and contented with the world in general just try my remedy."

The receni remarks of President Loree of the Baltimore Ohio, to the effect that the passenger service was the frill in railroad operations, has brought out much criticism, the opinion being that he was too harsh in his remarks and overstated conditions. The statement has been made by others that the pas senger business is not a paying depart ment on any railroad, and that rail roads carry people from one place to another because they must do it. as it has become customary, and in the com ltition seek to furnish luxuries that serve to make the business less profit able. Passenger officials of such lines as the Big Four, the Vandalia, the Lake Shore, the Chicago Northwestern, th Chicago, Burlington Quincy and the Missouri Pacific take exceptions to the statement of the unprofitableness of pas senger traffic as viewed by President Loree and others who might be named. They say that, compared with expend!, tures, passenger receipts may not be comparable with those from freight traffic, but that on a fair average no railroad man can say that nassensei, business is not a paying department. In view of the proposed increase in freight rates the subject of increasing passenger rates has been considered, but a move in that direction was thought to be un wise. B. F. Horner, general passenger agent of the Nickel Plate, said that if railroads were given authority to raise their rates tomorrow they Tjould just stay where they are, as the best results come from that rate which brines the greatest amount of legitimate travel According to Poor's Manual, in 1001. 17,790,660,925 railroad passengeis were carried in the United States, against 16, 312.2S4.471 in 1900, a little more than 14. 000,000,000 in 199; the average receipts from each passenger were, in 1901, 60.7 cents, against 56.67 cents in 1900, and 55.31 cents the year before, and the pas senger traffic of the present year will certainly show even better results. In. dianapolis Journal. Tendency of the Times. The tendency of medical science is to ward preventive measures. The best thought of the world is being given to the subject. It is easier and betl"r to prevent than to cure. It has been ful'y demonstrated that pneumonia, one of the most dangerous diseases that medical men have to contend with, can be pre vented by the ue of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always re sults from a cold or from an attack of influenza (grip), and it has been observ ed! that this remedy counteracts any ten dency of these diseases toward pneumonia. This has been fully proven in many thousands of cases in which this remedy has been used during the great preva lence of colds and grip in recent years, and can be relied upon with implicit con fidence. Pneumonia often results from a slight cold when no danger is appre hended until it is suddenly discovered that there is fever and difficulty in breath ing and pains in the chest, then it is announced that the patient has pneu monia Be on the safe side and take Chamberlain's CourIi Remedy as soon as the cold is contracted.

Even in the complete civilization of today it should be of rare occurrence, and in that age of reason which the scientific world will recogrize as the true millennium, when common sense shall prevail, it wiil no longer vex the human race. It may be said with truth that every death from this oreadful malady is a contribution either from ig norance or carelessness to the grave yard. The former is inexcusable; the latter little less than criminal. Like death, of which dread specter it is too often the forerunner, typhoid fe ver is no respecter of persons. The bar riers of society do not stop it, nor is there safety in the isolation which wealth secures. Its victims are among the high and low, and in its wide sweep it gathers in the millionair; of Murray Hiil and the pauper of Hester street, for the chief distributer of its germs is the water we drink. At one reriod or another during each year it is not improbable thai the wa ter supply of at least three, fourths o the population of the United States con tains the germ of typhoid, and in the late summer and autumn and early winter months, Ihe drier seasons of the year, when springs are low, so mu' h more prevalent is the i-courge t'-at it might well be called "the low vat"r fe ver." In one group of O.000 tabulated cases one-half occurred in the autumn months, 1,500 in the summer and 1,500 m the rest of the year. While it is true that the germ of ty phoid may find its way into the system from other sources than from drinking water, careful scientific investigations have demonstrated beyond the possibil ity of doubt that this is the chief pgent of infection. Steams or lakes, along the shores of w hich dense populations exist, are more polluted, and therefore more poisonous, than are the reservoirs from isolated mountain streams or sparsely settled watersheds, and yet the germs of a single case of typhoid in any lo cality may find their way into the sources of supply and cause widespread, dissemination of the disease.

Feb-Feb-Feb- Ey far the bissest event of the lodg-e world in Kansas during the week just closing- was the gathering of Masonic bodies in Wichita. The three grand di visions of Masonry held their meetings as follows: Grand Council, Monday, 9 a. m. tuary 16. Grand Chapter, Monday, 3 p. m. ruary 16. Grand lodge, Wednesday, 9 a. m. ruary 18. The Grand Council and Grand Chap- ter met in Scottish Rite Cathedral where all of the accessories and paraphernalia necessary were available. j Ey invitation from the most excellent Grand High Priest, the degree of Royal j Arch Mason was exemplified before thi Grand Chapter in the Scottish Rile Ca- j thedral on Monday evening by Delta i Chapter No. 19 of Marion. On Tuesday evening the rdr of j High Priesthood was conferred at the haii of Suniiower lodge No. S6, A. F. i A. M. j On Tuesday evening a reception was given to all visiting Masons by the Scot- rish Pate Masons at their cathedral. 1 The Grand lodge met Wednesday j morning at 3 a. m., at Toler's auditor- j lum. Officers were chosen by the Grand Council, R. &S. II. as follows W. C. F. Eeickenbach. grand master. J. C. Postlethwaite, deputy grand mas- I I ter. Charles J.

Grand secretary, Aibert K. Wilson, Topeka. M. K. Dickinson of Burlington, was elected to the lodge of custodians. The grand lodge. A. F. c A. M., was probably better attended than either of the other two gatherings, there being more than six. hundred persons in at tendance. The total attendance of Masons at the three gatherings was estimated to be between twelve and fifteen hundred. The Wichita Masonic organizations outdid themselves in tak ing care of the visitors and the big meeting was prono'enced to be the most successful in the history of Kansas Masonry. One of the most enjoyable events of the week was the reception stiver, in the Scottish Rite cathedral at the corner of Topeka avenue and First street on Tuesday evening, following an entertainment programme in the auditorium of the building. The Apollo club, of twenty-four male voices which scored such successes at the Hutchin son jubilee, took a prominent part in the entertainment programme. The concert numbers were made more ef fective by the use of appropriate srage settings and such selections as the "Hunter's March" with encores of "Annie Laurie" and "Nellie Gray" were given. There were a considerable number of candidates for degrees in attendance at the three gatherings and the Wichita organizations were the hosts at sev eral festivities held in connection with these events. In attendance at the Ma sonic meetings were a nuir.br of prom inent men of the state, among them Judge Peters of Newton, Frank Davis of Atchison; F. P. Smith, superintend ent of public schools of Lawrence; Sid Case and E. W. Wellington of Ells worth. Perry Hoisington of Newton: A. K. Wilson of Topeka, Mose Sarbach of Holton; V. B. Brown and others. Topeka will be the next meeting place of the grand Masonic bodies. On February 24 will occur the sev enth anniversary cf the Triple Tie Benefit association and the three coun cils of Topeka have joined forces to celebrate the occasion with an enter tainment and dance. Some very pretty invitation cards "nave been sent out to the members and their friends. Last Tuesday evenine Mrs. Birdie Sprague-Wagener of Atchison gave an elocution recital in Security hall under the auspices of Capital Council No. 1 of the Knishts and Ladies of Security. There was a very rood attendance despite the untoward weather. Mrs. Waggener merits all the indorsements she receives, as she is a natural artist in expression and an elo cutionist of rare culture.

The committees of the Wichita lodges have been hard at work getting thine-s in shaoe to receive the crowd of visitors and to take care of them during their stay. The following from the Wichita Beacon indicates that there will also be a big- class of condidatea for ad mission to tne order: "ENsputy Heir.rirhs has been even more successful in his efforts to secure a large class of candidates for admittance in the A. O. U. W. lodees of Wichita during the session of the grand lodge than he had at first anticipated. It was at first thought a class of nearly 200 could be secured, but this mernine the number of candidates who have already signed applications num bered 205 and others will have their names on the roll before the last day of admit tance has closed."

F. has sent out his semi-annual statement of the affairs of the Kansas division of the order, which from a comarison witn tnat ot last year a shows material gains in the business The lodge now has more than 23.000 members in Kansas, and during the past term of six months has made an in crease of membership larger than that during the corresponding period last year.

Joy turns it to a pretty pink shade. Anxiety causes her to assume a pale greenish tint. Fear turns her body a beautiful violet complexion. The most extraordinary feature of the case is that the colors rarely com mingle, and for the greater part of the. time changes take place without any apparent cause. Her natural color is a warm, dark shade. Sometimes the face turns sud d nly to deadly white, while the rest of th body remains unchanged. At othef times an arm. the neck, a hand or a toot turns a different shade, according to the sensation experienced. The only time the skin remains without varia t n is when she is asleep..

Pretty Alice Roosevelt is one of the most charming society girls in Wash ington and because of her father's offi cial position one of the most conspic uous leaders of the capital's smart set. She is a slender, graceful blond, with blue eyes and a slightly retrousse nose, and her manner is frank and cordial. She is a good talker and an excellent listener. Parlor magic is one of her fads, and she is a very clever amateur eleight of hand performer. A decided favorite with young men, she has many suitors. Five are now steady eallers at the White House.

Houdon sailed in the same ship with Benjamin Franklin and landed in Philadelphia after a voyage of several weeks. He proceeded to Mount Vernon and arrived there on Oct. 3. 1785. He was most cordially received by Washington and began his studies at once. He made a mask in plaster, which he carried back to France. Washington in his diary gives an inter esting account of how Houdon mixed the plaster, and when the mask was produced it was pronounced a perfect success by Judge Brooke and others who were present at Mount Vernon at the time. Houdon spent two weeks at Mount Vernon, and during that time made the mask of Washington's face and neck, took measurements of his person, made drawings of the general's clothes and, it is said, made a little sketch in wax. He certainly had plenty of time to study his subject and get all necessary materials. An entry in Washington's diary under date of the 2th of October. 17X5, reads, "Sat to M. Houdon for my bust." That bust remamcd in Mount Vernon j until is 19, when larK Mihs, who had received an order for an equestrian i statue of Washington frcm congress, wenc in .uoum ernon ror material and got the consent of Colonel John Au gustine Washington and G.

Her fa ther was a Van Dyke, and Mrs. Payne was reared in New York city, but met the man of her choice, Henry C. Payne, while visiting in Wisconsin. For many years Mrs. Payne was a great sufferer from rheumatism, and there were months at a time when she was unable to stand upon her feet. She has fully recovered her health, however, and is one of the prominent entertainers of the capital. She is a handsome, digni fied matron and a charming hostess and belongs to numerous clubs. i i Miff r head for his model and leave the cop-j ies.

It was purchased by the legislature. A queer character who figures in the list of sculptors who had Washington as a subject is Giuseppe Ceracchi. In 1791 Ceracchi, who seems to have been a man of ability in many ways, for he had been employed by Pope Pius VI. to assist in designing works for the Vati can, came to America and became friendly with Washington and other celebrated Americans. Ceracchi made busts of Jefferson, Clinton and Jay, and congress ordered him to make a co lossal bust of Washington. It ha3 al N s j S Known Society Women of w -If I err .A rr 4 f 'r 7 -t MME. TAKAHIRA, WIFE OF THE JAPANESE MINISTER. A dainty little woman from the Land of the Chrysanthemum is Mrne. Takahira, wife of Kogoro Takahira, Japanese minister to the United States. She is dark and rather pret ty and is only five feet tall. She is often spoken of as the best dressed woman in Washington, her assort ment of jewels is rich and varied and she is fond of society. She speaks English quite' fluently, and her Friday receptions are very popular. They are open to ail who care to call, and she ia very punctilious about her so cial obligations. i- .t- i, V-S v v x,;-; ways been inexplicable how anybody who knew and studied the likenesses of Washington could ever for a moment suppose that Ceracchi's busts resem bled Washington in any respect. He re turned to Europe during the reign of the first Napoleon, invented an infernal ma chine, made the acquaintance of a cou ple of his countrymen who were rank anarchists, and the gang attempted to assassinate the first consul. Ceracchi was arrested and executed. Robed in a toga, he went to his doom in a chariot with bravado and ostentation. If Ce racchi's busts were likenesses of Wash ington, Peale's, Houdon's and Stuart's likenesses were not. Antonio Canova received an order from the state of North Carolina for a statue of Washington. The figure is of the ancient Roman school and is seat ed, stylus in hand. There is a toga on Washington's shoulder and sandals on his feet, and his appearance is that of a Roman soldier. A sword lies on the plinth. As a work of art the statue has great merit, but nobody would ever suspect it was intended for Washing ton unless they were so informed. A notable statue after this "classic" style is that by Greenough which stands in front of the capitoi at Washington and for which congress appropriated $20,000. Notwithstanding all adverse opinions, the American sculptors of the latter half of the nineteenth century have producer! statues of Washington far superior to any designed since his death. The heads of all successful statues have the Houdon head, with a slight modification of the hair. The statue of Washington on Wall street. New York, by J. Q. A. Ward is beyond all question superior to any statuo of Washington that has yet appeared ex cept the Houdon. The Ward statue stands on the stone upon which Wash ington stood when he first took the ath of office as president of the United States in New Y'ork.

The horse Is the same old horse of Marcus Aurelius two feet pawing "the air and two on the ground. Another splendid work that has the Houdon head is Thomas Ball's eques trian statue of Washington in Boston. WASHINGTON MONUMENT, PHILADELPHIA. One of the first equestrian siatues of the immortal George erected in thiB country stands on Pennsylvania av enue, Washington, and is the work of Clark Mills. The action of the legs of the horse is unequaled in any similar statue in America, but other parts of the work are not considered good, and as a whole the statue is not a great work of art. Of about the same merit is Thomas Crawford's equestrian statue in Richmond, Va. The French-Potter equestrian statue recently erected in Paris has merit. The horse bv Potter is good, but the pose of Washington is that of a pompous actor. Daniel Ches ter French is a sculptor of splendid genius and unquestioned ability, but in this statue he has placed his subject in an impossible position.

MRS. NELLIE GRANT SARTORIS AT HER DESK. Mrs. Nellie Grant Sartoris, daughter of General Grant, is a well known fig ure in Washington society. Just at present she is in mourning for her mother, but at other times the Sartoris home is quite a gay social center. Mrs. Sartoris has a handsome son, Alger non, and two very pretty daughters, Rosemary and Vivian, all three of whom are fond of the excitements of the fecial whirl. Mrs. Sartoris was the Alice Roosevelt of twenty-eight years ago and was called "the daugh ter of the nation." Her marriage in the White House was a great event. .4 v a work of art it is great. The head is not after Houdon, but is modeled after Ceracchi. Among the other colossal statues ex ecuted by American and foreign artists are the following, some of which hava t,pen erected: Statue of Washington by William Rush of Pennsylvania; marble statue in Druid Bill park, Baltimore, rj by Kdward Sheffield Bartholomew; marble statue by Joseph A. Bailey in front of Independence hall, Philadel phia; heroic size bust of Washington in masonic regalia by Edward V. Valen tine of Virginia. The head is a strict copy of the head of the Houdon statue. W. J. Hubbard, the sculptor, got per mission from the legislature of the state of Virginia to make six- copies in bronze of the original marble statue by Houdon. These copies are now located as follows: One in the Washington and Bee college. Lexington,-Va.; one in Riv erside park. New York; one in Lafay ette park, St. Louis: one in Charleston, S. C. one in North Carolina and the sixth the sculptor soid to Krastus Wells of St. Louis. PINKNET THORPE. KINDLY SMILE, FISHES. .Some excellent photographs have re cently been taken of life at the bottom of the sea. As a rule, the motion of the water at the sea's bottom is so strong that the camera, lamp and ves sel to which the lamp is fastened must be held in position by pieces of lead or stones, and even after this is done it is generally necessary to lessen the force of the waves by pouring oil on them. Instantaneous photographs of many fish have been taken in this manner, and they were so clear that in each case the scales could be counted with the aid of a magnifying glass. In order to take such photographs successfully, however, great patience is necessary, since fish are shy and gen erally hesitate before they venture to approach the uncanny looking figure which has so boldly intruded upon them. In time, however, the patient photographer is rewarded, for they gradually come within easy distance of him. and he can take pictures of them at his leisure. THUMB MARK EVIDENCE. On the evidence of a thumb mark a man has just been committed for trial on a charge of burglary in London. After the burglary was reported Ser geant Collins made an examination and found some finger marks on freshly painted woodwork. He took an en larged photograph of these prints. His next step on learning that the accused was in custody on another charge was to take an impression of the man's thumb and enlarge it by photography. Comparison satisfied the officer that the same thumb was in both pictures. This ingenious procedure is not precise ly new to Sergeant Collins, who has been several years studying identifica tion on the Bertillon system, but It is said to be the first occasion on which a magistrate has accepted such testimony. 7 TCS5 ."er Washington Ai COPYftlGHT 90J.

Com mons, who is secretary of the taxation department of the National Civic feder ation, writes an article in the current number of the Keview of Reviews, por tions of which might be studied with profit by the members of the legislature who are now wrestling with the taxa tion question. Among other things Mr. Commons savs: "One of the first things which the In diana commission set itself to do was the discovery of intangible property, and it began with bank deposits. De posits in Indiana are treated a:- cash, and, unlike other credits, cannot be offset by debts. Hank reports showed rime than one hundred millions on deposit, and scarcely a million had over been as sessed. Here was a rich field in which to vindicate the new law. Encourage i by its unprecedented powers, extending even to imprisonment for contempt, the commission summoned bankers to open their books, and, on their refusal, con demned them to jail. Habeas corpus proceedings immediately brought the matter to court. The lawyers of the state were unprepared, for no important tax litigation had come to them for years. Judges were equally novitiate, and listened with inquisitive patience. Finally, on appeal, the supreme court of. the state declared that penalties unci imprisonment were judicial preroga tives, and the legislature had exceeded its powers in bestowing such grants upon an administrative branch. At the i next assessment, on April 1. the bank organization has set j ers claimed that many millions of de operators by volun- posits were w ithdrawn from the banks, and many of them transferred to banks of other states, and, with this argument, finally, in l'.'Ol, they secured a substi tute to this section of this law greatly restricting the inquisitorial powers of local assessors. "This chapter from the Indiana ex periment marks off at least one road which tax reform cannot follow. In deed, it shows that the more perfect the. machinery of the assessment, the mora vicious the effect of bad laws. A bank panic on April 1 every year might well indicate that the law which provoked it was not merely dangerous to tax dodgers, but also sound in economies. It banks are taxed on the full value of their capital, and the banking- business is not monopolized, their depositors are thereby taxed in the low rate or no rate of interest on deposits which the banks can afford to pay." The Kansas commission has already profited by the Indiana experience and has not given assessors powers to in- I vslLratu fiank bnoks Taking up the question of the taxa- "Another lesson tax reform is on the taxation of mortgages. Here Mich igan and Wisconsin have been more spectacular, but not more Instructive, than Indiana. Indiana approached the subject gradually and gave the tax dodgers notice. Michigan and Wiscon sin came down suddenly and hard, and the adjustment is not yet complete. The Michigan state commission secures from every recorder of deeds in the state a list of all unsatisfied mortgages held by residents of the state, with the address of the mortgagee. These are classified at headquarters and sent out to every assessor. In Indiana and Wisconsin the county assessors exchange their lists directly. In one year in Michigan the total assessment of mortgages was raised from some $3,000,000 to $55,000,000. Wisconsin in four years raised the as sessment of tangible property from about $16,000,000 to $72,000,000, nearly all of the increase being in mortgages, other classes of credits escape because they are not of public; record. In both states the results are interesting. Mort gages are renewed or new ones made at an advance of 1 per cent or li per cent in the rate of interest. This has aroused the farmers to a. lively interest in the economics of tax laws, following their earlier interest In the reform of tax administration. But the adjustment is taking place, and in Indiana it is already made, with interest on average mortgage security at 5 per cent, against e1 and 7 per cent in the other states. "The devices for adjustment are di verse and ingenious. The inquirer hears of a new one nearly every day. A col lege professor naively relates that he sends his money to a sister in New York, who sends it back for him to lend on mortgages at 5 per cent. Others, less conscientious, create fictitious friends or i datives in other'states, whose money they loan. Mort sages are made out to 'trustees." and assigned without record. A presiding elder lends his money and assigns the mortgage to an invisible en tity. All of these private lenders are a a disadvantage. State banks and tru:.-t companies, being assessed on their cap ital, are not assessed directly on theiv mortgages. And when they have reached their limit cf investments in long-time loans, many of them accomo date their customers by assigning to them mortgages held in their own name. Most of ail, foreign insurance com panies and other lenders ome into the state, and it is these lenders in Indiana j that have established ttie rate of 5 per I cent. They probably will do the same in ether states. "Here again is a road which tax re- j form cannot take. Improved machinery I of assessment throws the mortgage tax on the borrower, or else gives a bonus j to untaxed holders and outside holder, and this forces the unptiviieged holder i to provaric ate. let, naturally enough, the prevaricator does not consider him self morally perverse, for he is only obeying a higher law which is above tho human law laid down by the legislator?. He instinctively feels that he Is re iiiv paling his tax in the low rate of ioieresi which competition forces him to ac cept. A tax of l!i to .1 per cent. n e mortgage at 5 per cent, he holds ivt to be taxation, but robbery, and he ha. the common law right of self-protection agamst robbers. "The experience of these states has further satisfactory progress, led to legislation on mortgage taxation. Whether the preliminary lnvestiga The legislatures of Michigan and Wis- j tion is before a small sub-committee, or consin both adopted bills in 1901 taxing mortgages as real estate, but allowing the mortgagor a deduction from this assessed value of his land to the amount of the mortgage. Both bills were vetoed by the governor on minor points, and will again be pressed for enactment Indiana, in 1S09, enacted a remarkable law exempting mortgaged property to an amount not exceeding $700, or one half the mortgage, if that is less than $1,400. 1'niier this law the mortgage 'deductions' for the state foot up to $40, 000,000, and since the mortgages are held mainly by non-residents, the state loses nearly that whole amount from the tax rolls. The law was sustained by a bare majority of the state court, but is now before the supreme court of the Lrnited Slates.' MR. WAKE'S ADMINISTRATION. It is evident that the talk about the removal of Eugene F Wrare, United States pension commissioner, was whol ly without foundation. An idea of the tsteem in which he Is held In Washing ton may be secured from the following editorial which appeared in the Wash ington Star: Among the officials selected by Presi dent Roosevelt with special regard to ti'.i.ess and ability over any other con siderations Pension Commissioner Wrare has, by his successful performance of the difficult duties of his office, notably justified the president in his choice. Just in point is the latest change in the organization of the bureau, a rear rangement of the adjudicating divisions, which discloses the results of the com missioner's close study of office condi tions and his appreciation of the needs of the service. The business of distributing the gov ernment's bounty to its worthy servitors in time of war becomes no whit less sentimental because it is conducted with due regard for fairness to the tax payer. It is possible to be just to both the government and the veterans. It is possible, furthermore, to facili tate the work of adjudication, which is considerably in arrears, without involving the danger of carelessness in examina tion of claims. If congress w-ould draw a stiicter line in the enactment of pri vate pension bills and grant bounty by this method only to those who actually deserve it but are prevented by acci dents or death or inability to collect necessary evidence from proving- their claims in due form, the pension office administration would be even more ef ficient and prompt.. Commissioner Wrara has proved that it is possible to conduct a great government bureau on business principles, with fairness to employes and with a keen sense of the rights of the veterans and the welfare of the treas ury. THE STORY OF A SONG. The death of Mr. Hubbard T. Smith, vice consul at Genoa, recalls the inter esting history of that harrowing tale about Johnnie Jones and his Sister Sue, who ate the peach of emerald hue, and his connection with the same, sa.ys an editorial writer in the Des Moines Register-Leader. The verses were written by F-ugene Field, although it was years before this was known. The poem was one of the first Field ever wrote, and appeared in 1SS0 in the Kansas City Times under the title "A Little Peach." The poem traveled all over the world, and was finally found by Mr. Smith in an obscure corner of a country news paper. Attracted by the etory of the peach which "warmed by the sun and wet by the dew," grew so fatally for Johnnie Jones and his Sister Sue, Mr. Smith sec the words to an ear-tickling melody, and sold the song to a Wash ington music dealer for ten dollars. In "The Kugene Field I Knew," Fran cis Wilson, the actor, tells of his con nection with the song, begun long be fore his acquaintance and intimacy with its author. In 18SS, in an old book store in London, Mr. Wilson ran across a stray copy of the song, which greatly tickled his fancy. He brought it back to America with him, and engaged Mr. John Braham of Boston to compose a dhin-f for it. The words were credited to an Hnglish versifier, and neither Mr. Smith, Mr. Wilson, nor Mr. Braham, knew that Field was the author. The song was introduced into Mr. Wilson's opera, "The Oolah," and, as all know who had the good fortune to witness the performance, was immediately popular. Mr. Wilson and Miss Marie Jansen, who sang the song in duet, never failed to be recalled again and again, to sing once again the delectable woes of Johnnie Jones and his Sister Sue. For years, the verses had gone the rounds of the press of the country. They wore generally credited to "Anony mous," but often were assigned to vari ous writers. It was finally to set at rest the disputed authorship that Field published the verses in his book "Cul ture's Garden." Field never received any remuneration for the poem, as it was not copyrighted, and, as was said, Mr. Smith sold his rights for $10. The song, however, netted a small fortune, and thousands upon thousands of copies were sold, while it is etill to be found in most of the college song books today. DR. BTEARLAND'S CHARGES. Like many other similar proceedings in the past, it appears that political dif ferences will accomplish the destruction of all good that might have come out of the police department investigation. So hostile are the opposing "wet" and "dry" members of the city council that it seems impossible for them to arrange amicably for the investigation which they all claim to court. Technical dif ferences have arisen. Both sides have refused to make any concessions. An investigation which would have satis fied the police department has been blocked by Dr. McFarland. An investi gation which will satisfy Dr. McFarland the police refuse to participate in. If the matter is sifted to the last de gree, the exact ground of dispute is not difficult to determine. Briefly stated, Dr. McFarland wants a preliminary in vestigation before a small committee from the council, which can hear what h has to say, and determine whether th--re are grounds for an official In vestigation, under the law, before the whole council. The police officials pre fer that this preliminary investigation should be held before the whole council, silting as a committee. This is exactly the snag which blocks before the wmmittee of the whole council, it is admitted by both sides that nothing can be done aside from finding out in a general way what ground there is for the charges, and if the majority decides there is evidence to warrant a formal investigation, that such an investigation will be held. Dr. McFarland wants the preliminary investigation before a small committee for the reason that he thinks the pub lic is not entitled to know what evidence he has until he is ready to subpoena- witnesses and prove his points. He wants a "star chamber" session, at which he can talk in a general way about his pulpit editorial of January 11, and probably eliminate some of the most radical statements which he made in that document. In short. It would appear that Dr. McFarland is unwilling to stand squarely on his original charges, and wants to "hedge" before the time comes to go before the public with his evidence. It is very probable that Dr. McFar land can produce some evidence to some of the charges which he made. It would not be difficult to prove that the joints are fined, and allowed to run. It would not be difficult to prove that out of a body of thirty policemen, a few use profanity, and possibly beer. It might be possible to show that the police per mit a certain friendly relation to exist between them and certain individuals of the underworld; Dr. McFarland ought to know that the most effective work of the police always has been and always will be done through what are called "snitches. Hut would it not be more just to the police department to compel Dr. McFar land to stand by his original charge?, or withdraw them altogether? It is tha stinging lash of that pulpit editorial which hurts the police denartment. It is the wholesale denunciation blazoned from the pulpit for which Dr. McFar land should be held accountable. Can he prove the charges in his pulpit edi torial? That is the question, not whether he can prove an entirely new set of charges prepared in the secrecy of a committee room. The only way for the pulpit editorial to form the basis of the investigation is by an unofficial investigation before the whole council. It is not surprising that the police department refuses to be a party to any other form of investi gation. HURRIED LAW MAKING. As usual, as the time for adjourn ment approaches, the senate finds itself crowded for time to dispose of the mass of legislation which has accumulated upon its calendar. Only by ingenious contriving and "swapping" of favors will it be possible for a senator to get his bills before the body for considera tion. Fifty, a hundred, or two hundred bills will have to die on the calendar. By and by will come the floods of bills from one house to the other. The ab surd spectacle of passing an "omnibus" bill will have to be repeated to get the work done and the usual number of meritorious bills will never receive at tention. PerhPeps there is no use. objecting to the established customs which prevail in Kansas' legislatures. -It is the right of every free born American legislator to write and present bills and every bill is entitled to consideration in its order. And this condition of things will maintain so long as legislatures are made up of human beings with human failings for notoriety. After all Kansas may console itself in contemplation of the fact that her legislature isn't half so bad as Penn sylvania's. And there are others with which it compares favorably. TO MY BABE. Come, little babe, to my waiting arms! Fondly my heart will welcome you! Come, 'and perchance you'll fill my soul Full of sons, as bo used to do Whose plaintive voice I hear no more: Who. from the dawn 'till day was done. Filled my heart with a joy untold. Then went away, my little one. But when I hear your voice, my child. And when T see your laughing eyes, It may be that, in anguish wild, I shall greet you, iny babe, with cries Welling up from a heart whose pl'-a Is for a dream, if nothing more. Bringing my lost babe back to me Hack, back, back from that mystic shore. Your little fingers I shall love! Oh, but another hand I'll see. And shall yearn for that hand once more Placed in mine as it used to be. While dear laughing eyes looked up to mine, And a loved little form crept near ray heart. And O. little babe, as I kiss your lips. Bitterest tears from my eyes will start. Come, little babe, but be not like him! There is a place in my heart for you! Heave to my memory little Jim. As he used to lie and he used to do. And dear little babe, if your touch brings bacli Longings greater than I can lear, Oh. mav I find the path to peace Stil more oft in the hour rtf prayer. IRENE (McMIl.hAKl Ai'.BOTT. EDITORIAL COMMENT. Addicks' Ultimatum. New York World: Gasman Addicks issues over his own name his ultimatum to the Delaware legislature. It must either elect Addicks or "two Republicans as near to Addicks as possible" or else submit to the choice of two men named by a coalition of the Democrats and Independent Republi cans. The boss further declares that "no man who refused to vote for J. F.dward Addicks in the legislature win ever be allowed to hold any office in Delaware," and announces that afte Marcij 4 the federal appointments will go to Addicks or to Addicks' chairman of the Republican state committee. "We wiil see where the power will lie," says the gasman. Addicks evidently ex pects to boss the president too. Is it not high time for the honest men it: the Delaware legislature to unite in th election of senators? A New "Rival for Electricity. Grand Rapids Press: Electricity, which has mounted to su premacy over the cable and the horse as a motive power for street cats, is now itself threatened with displacement. Harvey. 111., a suburb of Chicasro. is to have a street railway system on which the cars are to be propelled by gasoline motors. This power, through the use of a new device, is so economical that 21i cent fares are promised by the company securing the franchise. If these gasoline motor cars prove suc cessful the;- promise to work a revolu tion in rapid transit. They will be use ful on street railway systems in place of the trolley cars or as supplementary equipment, and will in addition aid in curing for interurban traffic. At present when there is a breakdown at the power house or along the road, entire electrical systems are tied up. -t there were few motor cars to fall back upon in emergencies much present loss and in- convenience could be saved. Moreover, the motor- cars could be run at times when expenses could be saved by shut ting down the power house, such as latt at night and early in the morning. The building: of a car that will carry its own power and can run at a rapid rate may have an important and unex neeted effect cn the interurban lines. The latter secure much traffic lost to tha steam roads because of their ability to run cars frequently and to make stops at short intervals. If some of the regu lar railroads could nut motor cars upon 'J. their tracks to handle local passengers tney could enter into very active eompe. tition with the interurbans. In fact they could transform themselves into inter urbans. The motor car has long been awaited. It will find a ready welcome it it works satisfactorily. Carnegie's XJaa of His "Fortune. New York American: Mr. Andrew Carnegie has his fault's like the rest of us. He is not without vanity or love of approbation, and when he was in active business he doubtless did things that will not look well in his biography when he is gone. But he is doing good now with the vast fortune which our laws made it possible for him to accumulate. The latest disclosure respecting Mr. Carnegie's liberality doeJ hun honor. In order to dispel the pos sibility of this country becoming in volved in war with the allies operating against Venezuela, he offered to hand over to Mr. Bowen $340,000 to settle Germany's demand against the South American republic. This is in line with his proposal to President MeKinley some years ago to turn into the United States treasury $20,000,000, the price paid by us to Spain for the Philippines, if independence should be granted in return to the people of the islands, Wise or unwise, practicable or imprac ticable, offers so unselfish and splendid give dignity to Mr. Carnegie as a man who is willine to use his millions for the carrying out of ideas which he believes to be good for the world. Reason to Bo Happy. New York Mail and Express. What is the use of being at odds with the world? What is the use ot being blue and despondent? The world is full of trials for us all has plenty of trouble and worry to hand out eve-a to the best of us from time to time But there would be no need for men and women we could all be babes it there were no great life problems to solve, no burdens to bear, no sorrows to live clown. These are the balance wheels of life. They are the trials we have to face in order to strengthen us and broaden us to the opportunities and the real happiness that riches do not command, nor poverty bar. Have you ever stopped to think, when troubled with your own misfortunes, that, no matter how unkind to you the world seems to be, it is still more so to some neighbor or some friend? You may feel you have small reason to be spirited and buoyant; but when you compare your condition wilh that ot others whom you can recall, you will find much in your own estate to bi thankful. You feel a sympathy for them because they are so much worse off than you and you ought to feel glad that, while not having all your de sires, you are stiil far ahead of the tail-end of the procession. Until Monday the worry of the week's labor is over. Let It remain behind tha closed doors of your office or business place. Don't take it home with you. Be jovial, interesting, companionable, to your family and your friends, and you will be better prepared for next week's labors than if you needlessly burden yourself and others with vour cares.

In a spirit of friendly criticism one Hoi ton editor charges another with "having a bad attack of mulligrubs." Mr. Coon has grown weary of the treeless plains of Sherman county and will move to the timber regions of Oregon. A Coff eyville man advertises for 25 girls, "wanted at once." Somehow this reads like one of Abdul Hamid'a want ads in an Oriental sheet. Strawn ladies wondered why they were invited to a friend's house in the forenoon until they finished tacking down the carpet. Then they saw the point. Going to the barnyard early the other morning a Cloud county- farmer discov ered three little orphan pigs piumping their breakfast from the milch cow. Now he understands why for a week past there had been no cream in his coffee. GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. It is about the only good luck that comes to a father if his son's favorite pie is also his. A man marries the girl he tries to hide things from; not the one ha makes a confidant of. Take a drink of cold water these days, arid notice how long it takes fo? it to get worm after it is down. He? folks are all right if she is more attentive to her husband's wants after she returns from visiting them. It is not necessary for a pretty girl of sixteen to return a favor: ail she needs do is to look pretty in receiving it. The clerks say that when a woman appears at a dry goods store on a cold day, she buys something; she does not just "look around." Doesn't a very cold day remind you of the time when you sat in your mother's kitchen, and watched htf make doughnuts? An Atchison woman who visited for seven -weeks has the cards and records to show that thirty-seven parties were given in her honor in that time. Though more is said about the evils in drink, a man can get along pretty well if he resists anything when past fifty that has pie or a woman in it. A gigantic task confronts an Atchi son woman. She is to be married and has only two months left in which to tell Ijim how much she thinks of him. A well known citizen of Atchison is fatally ill, and cannot recover. Hiii physician says his illness dates from the time he had a celebrated row. Here is another illustration of the fact you cannot afford to be ill humored, or hate people. enrro V3 -v 1 :ig5re !WS pl-?i"e35IeW I?" it 4i v'l ,h M f Big, jovial, kind hearted "Dick" Walker has joined the great majority. He "has gone to that undiscovered country." A few sticks of type in many a Kansas paper told of the fact this week but it would take columns to recount the stirring and interesting incidents in his life and to tell of his good qualities, his open heartedness and his generosities. "Dick" Walker will be sorely mourn ed by those who knew him and there will be tin extra touch of sadness from the fact that in his declining years he did not enjoy the fruits of his labors. Years ago he might have taken his place among the aristocratic of New Vork, made "possible by his father and his grandfather before him had he wished to. But "Dick" Walker chose to hew his own way in the west "where mind is free and fashion is naught He scoffed at the silk hatted society of Fifth avenue and went to work on the prairies under a large, broad brimmed white felt hat; a hat that covered a fine snecimen of the typical westerner and a hat that is in the family to this day. The Kansas man was the third Rich ard L. Walker. The first was his grandfather and the second his father. Both are buried in the old burying ground cf Trinity church where they have slent undisturbed by the hurly burly of Broadway for years. The sn-andfather came from the real old Knickerbockers of New Amsterdam and Walker street in the metropolis was named for him. So the Kansan was closelv related to many of the nabobs of Gotham and some of the most aristocratic were his kin. Politics was the undoing of the ca reer of Walker, which might otherwise hav been successful in putting away the reward for. his labors in bountiful store to lessen the burden of his last wars. If "Dick" Walker had never meddled in politics he would have been one of the richest men in Kansas and he might have retired years ago, with out cares, and have rounded out his life in quiet and ease and the pursuit of his own happiness. in itio em-!v seventies Col. Walker lived at Winfield and owned a large ranch in the Cherokee strip aO miles to the south. He was successiui as ranchman He was known as a square in thp pnr.iv davs society was not as well regulated along the southern Kansas line as it is now and while th stories of lawlessness tnat rmgnt some localities can not be told of that part of the state in those days, with t-ho.camo amount of thrills and hair still it was not the i breadth escapes. P'oaeetul community men. n Thirty years ago "Dick" Walker s word, in the country where he lived, was as good as a government bond and he could afford protection that the courts cou.d not. He was respected. Then Col. Walker dipped into politico He was sheriff of Cowley county for four years and afterward in charge ot the land office at Wichita. He built up the first powerful "Seventh district ma chine" and he was the power m state and federal politics in the southwestern counties. What "Lit" Crum was, in the zenith of his power, to the Third district Walker was in the big Seventh. He was the right hand man of the national Re publican administrations in that section of Kansas. He was all powerful, but he was at the same time honest with po litical friend and foe. and be in no way abused the powers he had. Then he be came United States marshal for Kansas but because of his being a good fellow, because he would listen to the rlea of this man and that and because he look ed upon his feliowmen as honest ne leu the office with nothing. Since then bin home has been here and there He builded hopes on schemes that did not materialize. He was the promoter of a railroad from the 1.7 tab. coal fields to the coast that was almost assured half a dozen times and as many times turn ed down by the money kings of New York It has been years since Dick Walker, the once powerful, has been seen in "Ccpeland county.' When he used to be milling there in the crowds of politicians years ago he was head and shoulder, figuratively and in fact, above the politicians who surged around him for he stood over six feet tall and weighed more than 200 pounds. Had he crimed bis wav into the Copeland county crowds during the days when the last senatorial struggle was rue ur-.v have been few who would have recog nized him. For every politician, how ever powerful, has his day and Dick Walker's day had paspeu wim crowd that is fast being crowded out by the younger statesmen. Colonel Walker had a war record to be proud of. He was a schoolmate of Me Kinley at Canton, and was one of the first to enlist under Lincoln's call. A lifelons friend of his. writing to the Winfield Courier, recounts some inter esting events in his career, as follows: 'Colonel Walker was with Rosecrans in one of the first engagements of the war in western Virginia. Rosecrans was in a tight place and wanted to communi cate with a union force which he be lieved to be hevond the confederate lines, and called for volunteers to carrv a me-sage. A slim youth of 20 stepped to the front. It was Walker, and he killfullv performed the perilous duty. Thirty vears thereafter I took Walker, who was six feet and one inch in height, weighed 220 pounds, of perfect mould and stately carriage, into the presence of General Rosecrans as he sat at hit, desk in Washington, the register of the treasury, broken, bent and feeble. The had not met in thirty years. Walker said, "General, do you know me." The general laboriously raised his eyes and said, "No." "Do you remember the first boy 'that stepped out of the ranks an Kanawha to carry a message to General "Are you Dick Walker?" ex claimed the grizzly old warhorse, and rising, emotional and trembling, be threw his arms around Walker's neck and embraced and kissed him. It was a pathetic scene. Walker retained un til his death the book of memoirs which "Old Rosy" gave him on that occasion. It is history that the charge up Mis sionary Ridge, so famous in war annals, was made by the "boys in blue" with out orders. Grant and Sheridan wer3 a mile and a half away watching the movements with their glasses. A yeil arose in the distance and there was a rush up the mountain. Grant said to Sheridan, "Who ordered that charge Sheridan's reply was, "I don't know," and hurried to the scene. The boys were up the mountain and In possession o the enemy's guns before they could bs halted. Dick Walker was one of the first to start in that unexpected rush. With hat in hand far over his head. yelling "Come on. boys!" a confederate bullet went through hi3 arm four inches above the wrist. But he halted not. Ha bore two serious war scars, but did no apply for a pension until after 1S90. While acting Lnited States marshal in charge cf federal authority at the opening of Oklahoma, a representative of a St. Louis wholesale liquor house offered Dick Walker $20,000 if he would make it easy" for the house to intro duce liquor into the territory. Dick told him. 111 make you trouple if you try. Not long ago a paper printed the fol- owing brief news note: "Senator Tom Noftzger is exhibiting a new Frisco system pass to his intimate friends. It has been noticed that nothing has been heard of lately regarding the resolution providing for an investigation cf the Frisco-Memphis merger." This recalls the process by which Morton Aioaugn got his first Pullman pass. Others may have come to him easily since but it took planning and scheming: for hiin to get his first one. Albaugh had come to Kansas from that famous HoooDole township, In diana. All Indianaians come from there like all Missourians come from Pute county. Albaugh needed a Pullman pass to complete his stock and to put on the finishing touch which would make him feel like a plutocrat. He was editing the Kingman Courier. He advised with the correspondent of a large metropolitan daily aa to how to proceed. The correspondent told hint to begin hammering at the Pullman company's small tax asssssmenta In Kansas in the Kingman Courier and that he, the correspondent, would copy what he said in the metropolitan daily and that the Pullman company would soon see it and- the pass w ould be forthcoming. Albaugh did as he was bid. He wrote a scathing editorial about the small tax paid by the Pullman company and the correspondent copied it in the big daily. Albaugh thought that was good and he wrote another. That was copied. Everything was going along according to schedule. Albaugh wrote another, still another and they were copied. Finally he wrote the hottest editorial of all but it was not copied. He wrote another and it was not copied. Albaugh found it was no use to write more and he stopped. Not long after he met the correspondent but he could not get any satisfaction. It was not until years af ter that he found out that the pass he was after was given to the correspond ent, who slept and snoozed on board the Pullmans free of charge, and there fore did not need to copy any more of the editorials. The correspondent could not roast the Pullman company direct but he could copy the roasts of others. Albaugh was his catspaw and he had to ride in the chair car or pay Pullman fare; that is, he did for a while. The reporters' table used in the senate at this session is the tame table that was in use in the house, before Fred' Vandegrift got a bill through a session a few years ago ordering the convicts at the penitentiary to make one for the house according to his plans and speci fications. When the old table was in the house many a red hot news story was written. On that table was written the story of the York-Pomeroy incident and it was on that table that York laid the bundle of bills, which he said had been paid him for his vote for Pomeroy. No one ever got the bills, so history says, and they shouid be lying on that table yet, but they are not and that table has been advanced to its position in the senate. At this same table in 1S72 Col. Wr. H. Rossington reported tn l nroceedinsrs of the house for a Leaven- worth paper and James L. King looked after the news for the old Common wealth. Things were different in those davs and at the close of the session Cue legislature passed a special appropria tion giving Rossington and King each $100 as a present. There was an editor in Topeka recent ly who made the start of seven trips'for the purpose of buying a new press i.i Kansas City before he finally got it. This editor would save up money until he had enough to make a big payment on a press and then he would board the. train for Kansas City but would stop off in Topeka, get in a game of draw poker and lose the money arid go home. He did that six times and the seventh time he went to Kansas City by ,i roundabout way and did not even go through Topeka. That time he bought th? press. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. TFrom the Chicago News. Poor talkers are usually poor quitters. Many a man's bravery crops out only when he loses his temper. A little learning is less dangerous than a vivid imagination. Even the self-made man doesn't boast of his worth to the assessor. Leave the pantry door unlocked and the small boy will get his desserts. To err is human and the divine part is to keep from being found out. Gossip is a deadly gas that frequently puts friendship out of business. Chickens incubated by the heat o passion invariably come home to roosi. There is only one thing that men run pack as well as women, and that is a theater. There is but one color that can be de tected by the sense of touch. Even a blind man can feel blue. ttUAKER REFLECTIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. Even the man with a weak intellect may be headstrong. Don't imagine that all your neighbors need reforming. Lots of fellows find it eaFier to maki excuses than to make a living. It is better to have an impediment in your speech than in your conscience. The chronic invalid Is often suffering from fatty degeneration of the imag ination. It is quite natural that the man win invents an airship should look down on the rest of us. Hoax "Since Wigwag joined church he doesn't play cards; not even bridge whist." Joaj "I suppose he has burn ed his bridges behind him." Blobbs "Women talk about nothing but their dress." Siobbs "Oh, I don't know. It seems to me I've heard some of them talk about their hats." Sillicus "They are really the most devoted lovers I ever saw." Cynious "Yes; it seems a shame that they are going to get married and spoil it all." REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOE. From the New York Press. It'3 a long drink that has no drain ing. It's a curious thing that "big heads'" have so little in them. Happy is the woman whose unhappi ness is the price of her love. The way some wonien take on about modesty you might think they would undress only in the d-ivk.

For years he was not permitted to publish, and his crude fforts were torn up time and again, but finally he sprang- fuli-aymed upon t'pp world. Flaubert used to talk to hi rn somewhat like this: "You see tlar cab horse across the street; there is just one word in the French lansr usse to describe his attitude. Find it." "If v.e younsr writers who are grop- "-r away in the darkness of our own a ne'e could only go to a Flaubert anl have our manuscript? torn up, if wo rould only be made to find the one word, thpre would be fewer books in th" world, but I believe there would be more masters of technique like Guy de Maupassant."

Of reiics valued for pathetic rather than antique Qualities. I call to mind one which my limited space will perhaps permit me to mention. Fifty years ago an English sea captain in the passag-; from London to New York was driven north o his course into the fog banks of NewfouniHand, where his vessel. hurled by a hurricane on to a sunken reef went to pieces and to the bottom, himself and eldest eon perishing in the wreck. Amid the crash and from the wreckage there floated from the can tain's cabin his private writing desk, which buffeted day after day upon the surface of the troubled waters, was at last washed ashore upon the beach a few mile from St. Johns. Newfound land. The Episcopal rector of the dis trict having been informed of the fact by his fisherman parishioners, secured the relic and sent it to the castain's widow, in desperate financial straits at home, and moreover under a cloud of grievous suspicion because she had ciaimed from the owner of the ship an insurance which her husband told her he had effected before leaving port. The owner one of the coffin ship ilk posi tively denied that any insurance had been taken out and attributed the claim to an hallucination of the grief-distract ed widow. But when the bruised and battered desk reached the wddow's home in a bundle of papers water-stained, that had been reduced almost to pulp, was found the missing policy, duiy signed by the owner's hand, and imme diately paid when presented by the widow's attorney, and then and there was the cloud of poverty and suspicion removed from the afflicted home. The desk, repaired and renovated, was pre sented to a surviving son by the mother on his fifteenth birthday, and in course of time followed its new owner to his new home, about twenty miles from Topeka, thus making its second visit to the American continent under more ausDicious and happier circumstances than the first.

A medium tiized machine, enclosing earth and loot-' i six f-et in diameter, is composed of fom t-'tn shoveis made of live-sixteenth; im h plow steel, each of the shovels be-j i i s X fling'-d to a steel platform surround- ing the tree. After the shovels have ail been driven into place, they arc firmly secured to the platform by cross- h trs. by which the whole tree can be iii Tel from its bed. j The lifting apparatus is then adjusted i about the tree, ami two men lift the! tree out of the around by screw power.

Some prominent Topeka people who he.nd her lecture to a great audience of at the Ray View. Mich..

Rast summer at Saiem. 111., the place made memorable by the early Ftruggbs of Abraham Lincoln, it was impossible to accommodate the crowds th at came to hear Miss Stone, and 11,000 people stood around while she told this most tragic story of her life.

Representative Knright's bill to regu late the veterinary surgeons of the state, otherwise known as horse doctors, by making them pass an examination, sud denly ran against a snag in the house today. When the bill was first introduced it was acted on adversely by the judiciary committee, but Mr. Enright proposed an amendment with which the commit tee allowed the bill to go through. But in the house committee of the whole it had trouble. Before it was all read to day Nation of Neosho moved that it be reported back to the house with the recommendation that it be not passed. Enright arose to defend it, but Cyrus Iceland interrupted him with a question. "How many veterinary colleges are there in the state?" he asked the gentle man from Wyandotte. "I don't know whether there are any or not," replied Mr. Enright. "Well, there is." said Leland. "There is Just one and it is down there in Kan sas City, Kas. This bill would prohibit our country horse doctors from doing anything. Few of them can pass an ex amination such as this bill cc.ntem piates, and 1 think it is being pushed simply in th.i interest of that veterinary college down there. 1 am agiinst it." Representative Mead of Mitchell said it looked to him that under the provis ions of the bill, if a farmer's cattle be came Moated from eating alfalfa he would be prohibited from calling his neighbors in to help him cure them. The bill will probably be killed. STOPPED RUNAWAY TEAM. Athletic Young Woman Distinguishes Herself by a Brave Act. One of the society favorites of san Rafael. Cal., is Miss Alice Hoffman. She is besides a golf enthusiast, formerly a champion at tennis and an expert equestrienne. She is now the heroine Tif the hour in that pleasant little city. Her achievement was not in athletic-al sports, but in stopping a runaway team and thereby saving the lives of J. W. Cochrane, his wife and three children at the risk of her own. Cochrane, who resides on Petaluma avenue, has a team of spirited horses. One afternoon recently Mrs. Cochrane and three children accompanied Mr. Cochrane on a drive. While driving down Petaluma avenue the fire alarm sounded. The horses became excited and attempted to run away. Mrs. Coch rane was on the front seat of the vehicle with her husband, while the children occupied the rear peat. The team became almost unmanageable and but for the expert horsemanship of Cochrane would have thrown the rig into a fence. By putting on the brake and holding a tight rein he was enabled to keep the team in the middle of the road. The horses succeeded in cramping the front wheel, however, and com menced to kick. Mrs. Cochrane was un able to alight and her children were too frightened to do so. Several times the animals barely missed the mother's head with their hoofs. To quiet them was impossible and their kicking be came more violent. Finally one of the horses got straddle of the pole, making the other more vicious than ever. Miss Hoffman, who drives every after noon along the boulevard in her trap, happened along at a time when the Cochranes were in a most serious pre dicament. She realized the situation at once, stopped her horse and. jumping out of the rig, went to their assistance. Cochrane told her not to get near the animals' heads, but she did, seizing them by the bridles, and tried to quiet them. The horses plunged and in every way endeavored to get away, but Miss Hoffman retained her hold. She was dragged some distance. Chicago Chron icle. Northeast Kansas Notes. Ran Sims, the veteran Grand Island conductor, has followed railroading for nearly 40 years, and in that time has had just two employers. Never had an accident nor any one hurt. Never lost a day nor been reprimanded, and knows every man, woman, baby, dog and cat along his run. For Is years he has been a total abstainer from the use of intoxi cants. A record like this is something to be proud of. J. G. Young, of Sabetha. who has been selling machinery in South Amer ica, writes home to his friends as fol lows: "I am a poor writer, but when 1 get home and tell of the sights I have seen, I don't want any of the gang to jump up and swear I am a bigger liar than Kttchum. Every one of Ketch- urn's stories were true. If you have,: seen the ievel part of Illinois you have an idea of the surface of Argentine Re public. The soil is sandy and does not get muddy. It is a healthy country and all the beef is killed and hung in the open air till used. The hotels charge S4 to $5 a day, and then want extra for indies, soap and towels, and they rob on at every turn. A binder that sells at home for $110 sells here for $250 gold. A threshing machine that sells at home lor $2,000 sells here for S4.900."

Judge Drenning of Wathena is using a notorial seal that was made for him i 41 years ago. durii g which time he has continuously held a notorial commission. The traveling representative of an anti-Leland organ went Into the Times office at Wathena the other day and asked Pool C.rinstead to help him round up a few subscribers for his paper. "I can't do anything for you," said Pool For about a minute you could have heard a pin drop, and the tick of the office lock sounded like an engine puff ing. Of course explanation followed and Pool told him that after a few years' residence in Doniphan county he had changed his opinion of Cy Leland; that he, like a number of others outside of the county, had imagined that Cy was a "stinker" and a "boss," and could be easily deposed if there was some one to lead the fight on him, but now he had found he was every inch a man, and was satisfied Doniphan county peo ple liked Iceland because he never went back on his friends, or let up on his enemies until they cried ""noush," and that was the kind of a man it would do t'f tie to or words to that effect. Any how the agent hied himself as soon as he had recovered sufficient strength to lv:'.:. The Wathena Times is fittlns up one of the snuggest newspaper offices in tht state, and will move next week. Pros perity seems to have struck the Time3 a solar iilexus blow. Sid Lucas, a prominent Doniphart county farmer, sold 18.000 bushels oi corn at one cli; this week, netting him $ri.noo. Col. K.

He used $5 worth of new lumber to batten thn cracks in a stock car to ship out a car of grain, and made arrangements witn the company to return it to him. so he could cet bis lumber out. Instead of taking bis lumber out he reloaded it and shipped again. The car has matlp several trips, and the colonel now con, siders it his own private car.

Young Vanderbilt Visits Newspaper Office to Deny Story. W'hen William K. Vanderbilt was at Harvard he was one of the most demo cratic students there, despite the fact that he had millions at his command. Many say that he carried it too far. and in his dress he was decidedly careless, remarks a writer in the Boston Herald. About that time the writer happened to be connected with a local morning paper and published a "scoop" story on the "great golf links that William K. Vanderbilt was to have laid out for his private use at Lexington." The day of the publication of the story there came into the editorial rooms of the paper a young fellow- w ho, in the language of the office boy who bad corralled him and demanded to know his business, was "a guy what needed a job." His troustrs bagged at the knee: in fact, his clothes lookea as if the person who had them on iiaa slept in them the night before. The individual in question had an utter dis regard for the uses of a necktie, for it was "running a race arcund his col lar." The office boy notified the city edi tor of the presence of a visitor and w his told to usher him in. With his hat in his hand the caller walked up to the city editor, saying: "I am Mr. Vander bilt, and I Live come here for the pur pose of denying a story that you pub lished about me this morning. I want you to make a denial of it in your next issue. I never played golf in my life, and I hope that I never will. That ac count in your paper is simple rot, and I wished it denied." Without another word the young millionaire walked out. City Ticket Office, Union Pacific Railroad, 525 Kansas avenue. WANTED -MALE HELP.
