A SPECIAL RULE Prepared for Purpose of Checking Filibustering. Washington, March 2. When th" house re .-oTivenerl today at II o'clock the pending ouesrion was on the adoption of the otiferenee report on the Aiask.n horn. -stead bill. Mr. Uieharrison. th" minority leader, in pursuance of the filibustering pro gramme att.-mpte.i to make th" point that a quorum must be ascertained 1" present hefore business could be transacted, but the speaker declined to and upon the de the majorii v leader, red on the pending entertain the point maud of Mr. Payne, a roll call was orde OUestiOt; 2"7 to The report was agreed to. Mr P osvenor. from the committee on rules then presented a special rule to put th. immigration tail into eopf.-renoa 1 v a direct vote ;,nd to cut off th" pre- iot is on est ion on the con f rota t epoi ts, Mr. irnsvf rnof. briefly explained the scope of the ruio, and then yiei,1eil jit minutes to Mr. Richardson iTenn.l. who in turn yielded five minutes to Mr. I'n (i't v-ood lAia.). The latter d., la;"d that the rtiie proposed to force a v. it" upon' conference reports on appropriation biils carrying millions after live minutes de bat" on a side. 11" taunted the other side foj- their inability to do business with deliberation. He also said .t was unfair that the immigration bil, which had been emasculated by the semit" should be thrown into conference with out giving the house an o'.p .rtuni'y to a. t. Mr. Williams (Miss.) protested against fhe .ourse of the Republican partisan press in attributing the action of the mi notity in the house to revenge against the unseating of Mr. Butler.' He said the country should know that th" situa tion was ..roader than that. Th- Dem ocratic minority, be said, was not acting in retaliation; it was teaching the ma jority that its rights must be respected. If reasonable time had lieen given to discuss and present that contested t !ec- Hon case, he said the minor not have been under the n pursuing its present course. I- would essitv o very on privi!rge. to drive and if in yatenr.it 1 -uiutionii and parlmmeritarv he said. would be employe. 1 home tho the Firtv Democratic protest -eighth congress -u was maoe to denrive a llemoei- l.y 6.0',. a majority of his seat, thd tactics would be pursued. a me Mr. Williams then turned to the rule and ridiculed the employment of the French phrase "on bloc." nnn h to the amusement of the house. Mr. DeArmond attributed the phrase to Mr. Giosvenor. who he said sarcas tically, had recently had much experi ence in authorship. He '.enounced the Republican for doing business on the Sabbath. iir. Grosvenor, in closing the debate on tho rule, remarked fa.-eiiously that when the Lord s.-,..d "Six days shalt thou labor and lo all thy work," perhaps he .lid not foresee the presence on earth of the Democratic party. (Ivejiubliean ap plaiirt1. Srill. he added, he might have done so. The injunction about rescuing the ox or ass on Sunday, if it fell into the pit. he said, certainly foreshadowed the eoiniiiir of the democratic party. Mr. Giosvenor then compared the present situation with that when the Democrats in the Irif ty-third congress brought in a rule to concur in the 600 senate amendments to the Wilson tariff Pill, "in gross." The pretext of the Ijemocra is for their present course, he said, was a llimsy excuse. The minority, lie said, was trying to paralyze the rov rnment. but the majority would not al low it to do so. "We e fioing 1 meet every ppres sai,y continc. ney," said he. "it is our duty to do so and 1 he country exjeets us to do so. The filibuster will come out where revolution, insurrection, mono cracy and disregard of duty always come out." He tnen demanded the pre vious ouestion. SKNATK TAKES VP DEP1C1EXCY 1ULL.

The conference report on the fortifica tion appropriation bill Mas agreed to. Consideration of the general deficiency bill was then resumed. At 1 o'cKh k the unfinished business, the Aidrich financial bill was laid before the senate.

O'Brien, an American dentist, has been ordered to have the kingdom on account of his supposed relations with the former Crown Princess Louise. He will leave Dresden Wednesday and will sail with his wife and four children for Ameiica on Thursday. The police at tirst order ed him to leave Saxony within 24 hours, but the court extended the lime so as to permit Mr. O'Brien to settle up his affairs. The Saxon government has notified i the other governments of Mr. O brien s exnulsion. making it under royal cour- tesv impossible for him to reside in Germany or Austria. BAM ROBBERS CAUGHT Over Six Thousand Dollars Their Boot Kecovered. of Ha-tf.vd. Conn.. March 2.

The captain of the British ship Cambrian Prince, Captain Otens. from CoquimlTo, for Middlesborough, has been tucked up in the North s-a. He reports that the Cambrian Prince capsized and sank.

IELAVAR! Two United States Senators Chosen at DoTer. Long Deadlock Broken and Ad dicks Stays Out. ALLEE AND BALL WIX. It Is Generally Regarded as an i Addicks Victory. Administration Said to Have Brought Pressure to Bear. Col. Dick of National Committee Was Present. Dover, Del., March 2. The. Delaware legislature this afternoon ended the sen atorial deadlock by electing SUic Sena tor J. Frank Allee, Union Republican to the long term senatorship, which expires in 1907 and Congressman Louis Heister Ball, regular Republican, to the t-hoit term, which ends in 1905, Allee was congratulated by his colieasues and by the assembly generally. Congressman Ball is in Washington. The result is regarded here as an Ad dicks victory. Pressure brought to bear upon the regular Republicans from Washington undoubtedly had much to do with preventing the acceptance of the Democratic offer to Join with the regulars to elect one regular and leave a vacancy. Dover, Del., March 2. In anticipation of the election of United States senator, the crowd at Dover today broke all rec ords. Colonel Dick of the Republican na tional committee reached here at 10::0 a. m. and went into ihe regular Repub lican caucus in progress at the Hotel Richardson. J. Howard Addicks arrived ahead of Mr. Dick and after a conference with his ptate central committee, appeared at the state house, accompanied by State Chairman Allee. who is regarded as his candidate tor senator in the event of an the union Republican caucus by invita tion of Dr. Moore, its chairman. j Democratic. State Chairman Willard i Saulsbury, accompanied by former Sen- I ator Kenny, Peter Ford, Dr. William F. i Morey and Kdmund Iiarne, composing the state advisory committee, joined the Democratic caucus at 11 o'clock. They took with them a paper agreeing to elect two regular Republicans in order to beat the Addicks programme, Meanwhile, the ten regular Republi- ou-ns were in cut lis a; the Richardson i hotel. Their first ballot resulted; Ball, i 5; Higgins, 5. j The Democratic caucus refused to ae- cept the proposition of their advisory I committee, but decided unanimously to vote for one senator thus insuring an i election today. i Representatives Price and Tyre. Re- publicans, who have been friendly to! Addicks left the regular Republican caucus vtul went to Union Republicans the meeing of the where they were applause and cn- greeted with much til oclo.k when two senators will be elected. The Democrats were unani mous for one regular Republican, but were hopelessly divided as to supporting two. Mr. Addicks appeared in the as sembly hall at 32 o'clock and hisses greeted him. The Math ballot, for United States sen ator resulted as follows: Long term Addi'-ks 21; Saulsbury 21, Dupont S: Higgins 2. Short term Addicks 1D: Kenney 21; Higgins S; Hilies 2; Richardson 2. No elect ion. After the ballot Senator Sparks moved to take a recess until 2:30 this after- I noon, everybody voting "yes" wit shout. Roth Republican factions now agreed on the l. nion Republican proposition The regulars may have to dark horse to satisfy the. tinminate a Higgins men, and in this event, the choice will probably be State Senator Sharks. SULTAN DEFEATED And His War Minister Killed in Battle. Mtfrid. March 2. A dispatch to the Impareial from Ceuta. Morocco, reiter ates the report that the sultan's troops hav been defeated and the war min ister Menebhi has been killed. The mes age does not indicate the date of the engagement, or the nlaoe where the bat tle oeeuiTed. It was announced in a dispatch from Madrid February 20 that a telegram has been received there from Tangier say ing it was persistently reported at the latter place that War Minister Menebhi had been killed in battle February 12. HOUSE PASSES BILLS Kirkpatrick's Measure Favoring Cor- porations Goes Through. The house today passed the following bills: Kirkpatrick's bill to fix his corpora tion bill so as to allow foreign corpora tions to come into the state within 30 days after the bill goes into effect and maintain suits in the courts on busi ness heretofore done in the state. The Bush corporation law provides that corporations which are not authorized to do business in the state have no standing in the courts of the state and cannot maintain a suit. It is supposed that some corporation which has been evading the laws and has gotten the worst of it financially, now wants to come in and sue somebody on past business. This bill will let such a corporation in. The bill by Campbell of Bourbon pro viding for the condemnation of lands for the storage of water.

Late Satur day night fire entirely destroyed the large elevator of the Rock Grain com pany at Pawnee Rock, nine miles east of here, entailing a loss of $10,000. The elevator contained several thousand bushels of wheat and the ioss is partly covered by insurance. The fire is thought to have been of incendiary origin. MR. BURTOfi'S LETTERS They Promise to Figure in Ciet llich Investigation. The Denver Post In its St. Louis dis patches continues its agitation concern ing Senator Burton's connection with ihe get rich quick scheme which has recently exploded. Here is the latest dispatch printed in the Post on Sundiiy: Su Louis, Mo., Feb. 28. J. Ralph Bur ton, t'nited States senator from Kansas, stands convicted by documentary evi dence now in possession of the St. Louis grand jury, of conspiring with the swindlers at the head of the National Securities company to secure the invest ment of people's money in the fraud ulent concern. He sold the use of his name for tiie paltry sunt of $120 a montn based on a gift of a certificate for 0UO. The documents are in Burton's own handwriting. They prove that he sold the use of his name to the National Se curities conu-ani' and that he indoi-s.it the :jet rich quick scheme because he was given money for that purpose. Burton has been quoted as saying that he invested money in this compajiy and that this was his sole connection with the concern. Kis own letters prove that this is not the truth. The Denver Piist told yesterday that Charles H. Brooks ami Percy D. Smith, manager and secretary of the fraudu lent Securities oompary. had fled from St. Louis and that police descriptions were being sent broadcast for their arrest. The Post also told at the same time that Brooks' attorney had washes! his hands of his client and had turned over all books and ;a;iers to the offi cials at the Four Courts. Jn these are the nemes of more than one man ot uoio. Among these are two letters from M' Burton. Jn the first he acknowledged the receipt from the National Securities company of a certificate of deposit rep resenting an investment of $;.ini. The tenor of the letter shows that this cer-! tirteato was a trift to Burton i.om Ihe; swindlers and that he did not pay ;i tent j ror it, but it was given to him trratia. the National, in consideration of .his gut. could use his name as. a reference. The second letter tvas written about two months aflerward. some time in De cember. Ihe first having been sent in October, soon after the. National start ed. It stated that the s-nator had lie. come alarmed because of the many in quiries ihat he had rci lye.f con'-et i-ing the National, and begged that the man ager accept the return of. he stock cer tificate which hi -fii.-iije tl. Toward the close of the letter he insisted, that his name be removed froin all the circulars of the company. He was afraid of com plications, and said that if this was not done he would have to deny ever know ing anything about it. "Those two letters." said a prominent I oflieia,! at the four courts to the Post j correspondent this afternoon, "should 1 prevent Mr. Burton ever again receiving an office. They also furnish sufln-ienl i grounds for expulsion from the senate." i TRYING TO GKT LBTTF.RS. I "What are you going to with them?" I asked the correspondent. "Hold them as evidence against Brooks and his associates. They are links in the chain. Mr. Burton has re sorted to every device to secure the re turn of these letters to him. He has a I powerful friend at work in his behalf, I but the documents are part of the court 1 records and will remain on file." "Is the grand jury considering the re turn oi an maid ment against the sena tor'.'" "That. I cannot say. .It rests entirely with that body. Tliey have the evidence in their possession. I can say, though, that I expect some startling develop ments." he Post's official informant took up the subject of other men Implicated. "As for that banker in Savannah, Mo.." he continued "he is not p-oiitlews as no wished to make out. When the first in- i 1 njquiry was made he stated that he had j are, boon inveieded into rhe scheme d?.ri ir I invested ?P).0"0 on the recommendation -of another person. Proof has been dis- j covered to the contrary. Mr. Llewellyn, I the banker, did invest ?10,iio.i in the So- j entities company, but on the day he did so Charles H. Brooks issued to his credit j a. certified check for- $10,000 payable at the Lincoln Trust company. Proof posi tive of this is in the hands of the grand jury. "Mr. Llewellyn was indemnified forall loss in order to secure the use of his name and that of the hank with which he is connected. These certifica.tes of deposit entitled J. Ralph Burton to draw 6 per cent a month interest on $2,000, or $120, and Banker Llewellyn to draw 6 per cent interest per month on $10,0oo. or $.;oo. And neither of them invested a cent. Thus Burton sold his nMme tr the swindlers and became their confederate for the consideration of the $120 a month, and Llewellyn did the same for the consideration of $)00 a month." POLICE FALSI-: TO TRUST. Meanwhile Charles H. Brooks and Percy D. Smith are still fugiti-os from justice, and the police all over the United States are looking for them. Circuit Attorney Folk blames the po lice of St.. Louis for their escape and for the escape of Arnold and Gill and others. He charges that the police force is working against his office. "But never mind." he added today. "I shall go right along. I have only one detective and they have 1.500. But I have the grand jury and the law." KILLED THE JAILER. A Prisoner Escapes From County Jail at Oiynipia. the Olympia, Wash. March 2. Chris T. Ben son, a grand larceny prisoner in the coun ty jail, has killed Jailer David Morrill and made his eseane. Rpnwm left open the inner and outer door of the jail. Mrs. Jes sie Mills, wife of the sheriff, arrived on theocene with a revolver in time to pre vent seven prisoners from gaining their lib erty. A posse is in close pursuit of the pris oner and is said to have him surrounded near town. A inward of $300 has been offered for Benson. Temperature of Large Cities. Chicago.

President of World's Fair Board of Managers Arrives in the French Capital From London. HE HAS A BUSY DAY. Trying to Secure a Bigger Ap propriation for the Fair. Many Will Compete in the Auto mobile Exhibit. Paris, March 2. President Francis of the St: Louis exposition arrived here early today from London and immedi ately set about meeting the leading gov ernment officials with the view of stimu lating and enlarging French participa tion in the exposition. The cordiality of the French attitude was evident from the moment of Mr. Francis' arrival and throughout the morning he was the re cipient of calls and invitations from representatives of official and commer cial life. Owing to his expected depar ture for Madrid tomorrow, Mr. Francis' programme was arranged today. This included an official breakfast at noon given by M. Lagrave, the commissioner of France and other prominent French exposition officials; at 3 o'clock he will call at the Hor.el De Ville and see the mayor and other city authorities; at 4 p. m. he will visit the minister o com merce, M. Trouillot; at 5 p. m. he will be received in audience by President J-oubet at the Klysee palace; at 6 he will be at the chamber of deputies and meet the leading deputies; at 7 p. m. a grand dinner will be given by the minister of commerce in Mr. Francis' honor and at 9 p. m. he will attend the opera where he will occupy M. Loubet's box. During the morning Mr. Francis re ceived reports from his various lieuten ants. These showed the French status to be as follows: The government has appropriated $2.".O,O0O, which is cousid- ered to be inadequate, and an effort will I lie made to secure more monev. ready $100,i'00 has been set aside for the j French buildinsr. It has been decided that this shall be a duplicate of the' Grand Trianon at Versailles, w-here Marsha! Hazain was tried and where many Napoleonic, relics are depcsited. Mi". Francis hopes to secure for St. Louis some of the principal souvenirs of Napoleon and is also desirous of se curing a further appropriation of $200. 0"0 for the French exhibit. The reports show that, about one thousand private exhibitors 'have already applied for spai-e, a number of applicants being for automobiles. The French makers have already asked for space e .-i.uaHirrg v quarter of the entire area of the trans portation building. The airship exhibit aiso shows a notable advance, M Santos-Dumont's new car being about ready for its trial trip. The minister of the colonies, M. Doumerguo. is arrang ing to transfer to St. Louis soo ex hibits now at Hanoi. Tonouin, and is also making arrangements for exhibit.-, from Madagascar. Cochin China and other French colonics. Sir Thomas Lipton expected to con fer with Mr. Francis here but the for mer was unable to await the latter's arrival in Paris. WATER IS FALLING. Eastern BiversAre Again Near ly Within Their Banks. Pittsburg. Pa., March 2. The rivers are again almost within their banks and as the water is falling rapidly here and at the headwaters the worst of the flood may be considered as over. At to o'clock this morning the Allegheny marks showed 25 feet and receding at the rate of a half foot an hour. Only a half dozen times tn a century has the record of resterday been beaten, but notwithstanding this and the fact that the rise came within a few hours the damatre has not been so great as in many previous floods when the water did not re-ach as high r stage. Indi reetly the loss is heavy is all the mills and factories fronting the two rivers have been compelled to close on account of the water getting into the fly pit and probably 40.000 men will be thrown out of employment for several days. This will mean a. heavy loss in wages. The flood was general throughout all western Pennsylvania, the streams everywhere overflowing their banks and causing more or less damage to houses and farms that lay in their course. With the falling water a mass of mud and sediment is left deposited on the lowland thoroughfares of the two t-ities. Little pools of water are frozen over and the sidewalks are covered with sheets of ice. The water in many of the cellars also froze during the night and the health authorities are appre hensive of much sickness following in the wake of the flood. As quickiy as the waters recede gangs of men will be put to work and the flooded district thoroughly cleansed. Ill A TANGLE. Honse and Senate Can't Agree on World's Fair Bill. The house and senate have locked horns over the Louisiana exposition bili. Chairman Francis of the ways and means committee called the bill up in the house today, and moved that the house do not concur in the senate amendments, and askins for a confer ence committee. The motion went through without a dissenting vote. This means the beginning of a struggle which may endanger the Kan sas exhibit at the St. Louis world's fait. Unless this bill goes through the Kan sas commission will have to go out or business, as scarcely any of the ap propriation made two years ago has been used, and this has be re-approprl-ated to be available for next year, as it was originally appropriated for 190s There is a considerable feeling in th house that appropriations for exposi tions are useless, and there is a sprink ling of members who would like to kill such appropriations altogether. If the two houses get at loggerheads and the senate insists on the amendments it has piade to the house bill, it will not be a; all surprising if the enemies of the ap rirosriation in the house will be able to summon enough strength to defeat any appropriation at all. Then the stats would be left with a commission and plans for a state building, but no money with which to build it nor money with which to make an exhibit. That Is the situation which confronts the St. Louis wrorld's fair commission. The bill as it Dassed the house pro vides that the governor may remove members of the commission. That will place the control of the commission in the hands of Governor Bailey. It will be. directly responsible to him, and th governor will be responsible for the commission. There is no secret made ot the fact that Senator Carpenter U scheduled to go from the commission In case this bill becomes a law. The senate amended the bill so that the jrovernor can remove only "ten. cause." This would remove the commis sion from the control of Governor Bailey hut as it will do its work under his ad ministration he will be held more or less responsible for it, although he had nothing to do with appointing the com mission as it now stands. This is where, the real rub comes. Another amendment by the senate was in reducing the pay of the commis sioners from $15 to $12 a day, but In al lowing them to serve twice the number of days which the house allowed. The house placed a limit of 50 days' service for 190:i and 100 days' service for 1904. The senate doubled these figures. Un der the house bill the commissioners would draw a salary r.f $750 this year and $1,500 next year. Under the senate amendment they would draw $1,200 this year and $2,400 next year. HEAD END COLLISION. Passengers and Trainmen j tired Near Fort Scott. In- Fort Scott, Kan.. March 2. Missouri Pacific passenger train No. 40, which left Wichita yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock for St. Louis, via Fort Scott, Rich Hill and Pleasant Hill, collided neadon with a freight train on a trestle four miles west of. Fort Scott during the night. The en gines were completely telescoped but none of the passenger coaches w'ere turned over. Twenty or more passengers sustained cuts and bruises but r.one was dangerously hurt. James Garrett, of KIDorado, Kan., the passenger engineer jumped and his left leg was broken and his right hip dislocated.

Mrs. Burdick. wife of 1-:. R Burdick. who was murdered at his home here last Thursday night, and 1 Mrs. Hun, her mottier, were examineo at considerable length early today at a po lice station, where they were taken upon their return from Canasota, where had attended the funeral of the dered mam Mrs. Hull was first questioned by they mur- Dis- triet Attorney Coatsworth and Assistant Superintendent of Detectives Cossack. She said she knew nothing of what happened until she was called by the domestic in the morning. She heard no sounds in the night, heard nothing of any voice whatever and awoke in the morning ignorant of any tragedy in the bouse. She denied positively that her nl.'tlinns with Mr. Burdick were urfriendiy and emphatically declared she believed no one in the household had anv thing to do with the crime or knew of it. until morning. Mrs. Burdick was next qi rstioned at length as io what she ronld offer to throw light on the possible identity of the murderer, after which both of the women went back to the Ashland avenue home. The district attorney said after they had gene: "We examined Mrs. Hull and Mrs. Bur dick for the purpose of completing the examination of alt those present at the house on the night the murder occurred ard to ascertain from Mrs. Burdick. if pos sible, who. in her judgment, might have committed such a crime." Mr. Coatsworth said be was still of the opinion that the murderer was a woman. IN Frank P. WASHINGTON. MacLennan Guest of Com missioner Ware. Washington. D. C March 2. Frank P.

They Have Apparently Had the Bight of Way. Those Who Have Led in the Law Making. From some standpoints the legisla ture which is nearing its close will com pare favorably with any legislature of previous years, except in the number of useless employes. In some respects It is superior to former legislatures. For In stance, there have been few indications of flagrant and shameless boodlingr at least on the surface. Neither have there been any rumors of gross immorality, such as frequently break out during- leg islative sessions. For these thlnsta the legislature of 1803 should havs due credit. Of course there has been the usual scramble to give the railroads anything they want, but this Is not un usual. It is true that no great amount of general legislation has been passed by this legislature, but outside of a new tax: law there has been no demand for gen eral legislation. Whether this legisla ture is big enough to frame a satisfac tory tax bill remains to be proven. Unless it does the main object will have been lost. This has been primarily a special bill leeislature. Out of upwards of a thou sand bills introduced in the house ami about in the senate, the great ma jority have been local bills. The sum of these two numbers does not repre sent the total number of bills intro duced in this legislature, because most of those introduced in one house ar duplicated in the other. Tt is probable that only about a thousand different measures have been proposed in this legislature. The bills are duplicated so that the committees in each house can pass on them without waiting for them to come over from the other house. For instance, a house member has a local measure he wishes passed. He intro duces it in the house and at the sama time he has the senator from his district introduce it in the senate. It goes to the. proper committee in each house and step by step advances on the calendar. Finally it is passed by one house and messaged to the other. In the regular course of business it would go to a committee and after being acted on by the committee wou'd take its place at the foot of the cj.Je-.dar. But in the meantime its duplicate has probably gone through ip routine and is on the calendar for final t.a-4sge. ThP mem ber who is looking after it moves that the bill from the other house be substi tuted for the one on the calendar, and it is perhaps passed, goes to the governor, receives his signature and becomes a law in less time than it would take a committee to act on it. The total number of bills passed will not lie one-half the numher introduced, although the majority of he local hills usually go through. A great number of the local hills were, for the purpose ot vacating town sites and additions. All of these were saved up by tho local jn- diciary committee in the bouse and I bunched in a single bill, so that 50 or 75 measures of this nature were passed un der a single head and at a sinsl roll call. The holdup bills have been vry few at this session, or they have not appear ed on the nrTp-p at any late, as a us ual thing there are generally- two or three members, perhaps moi e, w ltoe sole mission in the legislature is to make what they can out of it in a mon etary way. They are usually- at the bottom r.f the holdup measures. although they sometimes cover up th"ir tra.-ka very carefully. But they gen-rally be come known to the wise onr t ea:"ly in the session. There have been few Indications of anything of this kind during this ses sion, at least in the house. And as us ual thing boodlers are more fre pient in the house than in the senate, perhnrs because there "are more of 'em." But the present house has been remarkably free from anything of this sort. one reason for this inav have been that the State Journal, early in the ses sion, exposed the usual holdup graft. A grafter cannot work bis graft in the light of publicity. This may have had a discouraging- effect on holdups. A Ifcw which is now on the statute books owts its passage to the fact that it was given publicity as a holdup. In the session of iOM this was introduced amnnc other holdup bili. It was denounce 1 as a. holdup, and its author had -o forco i's passage in order to preserve, some t-pmb-lance of sincerity. An old-timer in legislative affairs says that there is venality in this legis lature the same as there have been in former ones, but it has been better cov ered up. He says the boodling has been in charge of a trust, probably out side of the hous members to a great extent. He alleges that a close corpora tion looks after all the hold-up meas ures before they appear on the floor of the house. If this is true It do"s not show on the surface. There has been scarcely an intimation of boodle in the house about any legislation during this session. There has. doubtless been some going on. but it has not been fla.grant. and it has been so well covered up that it has been hard to trace. The usual stories of flag-rant im morality which have been the usu.-il thing with some legislatures have been almost unheard of. It is true that a mem ber has occasionally appeared who had evidently lingered too long at the flow ing bowl. It is aiso undoubtedly trua that some of the members have given the Cubbison anti-gambling law a violent twist in the nights which they have spent sitting behind small stacks of reds and whites, but there have been no such reports of gross fractures of the mora! code as there have been dur intr some legislatures. While it is true that there have been no great number of real "statesmen' in the house this wdnter. there are some members who might develop into states men. Some of them are serving only their first terms, some arp on their sec ond terms. This does not refer to Bali Waggoner, who is easily the "biggest" man on the floor of the house. Waegen er. while serving his first term on the state's payroll, is really an old hand in. legislative matters. Although a mfnor- CContinued on Page Six.)

U 1 i! ifi J J Sore Throat itself is not so bad, but the danger lies in what may follow if it is not cured earl Every person who has consumption started in with a sore throat. It is like a burning match thrown carelessly away. The match may simply burn up and go out, but it is just as likely to set something else afire and lead to a great conflagration. Nearly ever3Tbody has some sort of cure or other for sore throat. Most of these reme dies are pretty good too. But the most widely used, the most successful, the safest of all, is Omega Oil. This is a green-colored liniment that is to be thoroughly rubbed on the throat. Then some flan nel should be soaked with the Oil and fastened around the throat. The treatment is simple, but the effect is as sure as anything can be sure in medi cine. We know that many people have cured SoreThroat in this way, and we know that Omega Oil will help to cure very many more. I have used Omega Oil for sore throat and cold in the chest, and it has done me a world of good. My manager, Mr. F. Ziegfield, Jr., and several other members of my company, have used it. They prize it just as highly as I do. I would not be without it if it cost ten dollars a bottle. Yours very truly, Anna Held, The famous French Actress. Omega Oil is lor Frank Strong, Prof. K. C.

Hiawatha, Kan., March 2. A gym nasium has been organized here, through the influence and work of Rev. C. P. Connolly, pastor of the First Congregational church, for the young men of the town. A bowling alley has heretofore been the only place where boys and young men could spend their evenings, and Rev. Mr. Connolly de cided that a. gymnasium was some thing the town needed. It has only about fifty members, but when more equipment arrives and a more suitable building than the present is secured the membership will be increased.

Former Mayor A. A. Ames will be in Minneapolis in two weeks. Such at least is the expressed opinion of Sheriff J. W. Dreger, who re turned to the city this morning- from his visit to the retreat of the fugitive Minneapolitan in New Hampshire. The sheriff had a very pleasant trip and moreover accomplished the object there of in that he located the much -wan fed man and made all arrangements for his return after March 5, health permitting. In speaking of the doctor's condition to a reporter the sheriff said: "Dr. Ames is physically a very Fick man, and I do not believe he has Ions to live. The disease which is the cause of his present condition, and which will, it is feared, prove fatal, is something more serious than the ailments men tioned in Dr. Conn's diagnosis of the ca.se as published in this city. "Mentally the prisoner appeared to me to be as strong" as he ever was. In the interviews I bail with him he gave every evidence of mental activity. He discussed the situation here; stated that others were more to blame in the mu nicipal conditions which existed during his administration than he himself, and talked in a manner witch any man not rational never could have done. "Notwithstanding his serious physical weakness, my opinion, formed from per sonal observation and from consulta tions with the various examining nhv- sieians, is that, with the proper are. Dr. Ames can he brought back to Min neapolis without any aggravation of his illness. If he travels in a stateroom with a doctor and a trained nurse in attend ance I do not believe the prisoner's con dition would be injured. "1 expect to go after him on March 5 with the intention of bringing him back with me. On that date he will he turned over to me and the authorities there all seem to he in favor of making the move and will assist me to" the full extent of their power. The ex-mayor himself. Mr.i, Anves and their attorneys, naturally object to the trip but I think their objections will be overruled, if there is no change for the worse before the time set, and the probabilities are that Dr. Ames will be in Minneapolis inside of two weeks. "The prisoner was very nice to me and insisted that he was anxious to re turn to this city but maintained that his physical condition would not permit of the journey. He was very cemrteous to all of the officials and to the doctors DR. FENiSER'S All diseases of Kidnevs. in Bladder, Urinary Organs. ft I e -r.o.,e... l-jlr ache, HeartfJiseaES. Gravel,!

From trc newspaper accounts in the New Hampshire towns it would seem that Sheriff Dreger and the officials of Hillsborough county formed a mutual admiration society and the Minneapolis official bears out this impression in his statements of the treatment accord ed hint. "I never was given a better reception In my life," remarked Mr. Dreger "Sheriff Nathaniel Doane of Hills borough county wps especially cour teous to me and all of his assistants followed his lead, livery service'possi ble was rendered me and in every wav my mission was forwarded by thes'e men.

In most cases the first little sore is quickly followed bv painful swellings in the groins, a red eruption upon the body, sores or ulcers i:i the mouth and throat, unsightly copper colored blotches, loss of hair and eye brows and other symptoms of this miser able disease.

COMING TO TOPEKA. San Bernardino Kailroad Man Sells a Bicycle in a Hurry. The San BernardinoTimes Tndex savs: C.arence Corners, a machinists' helper, came very near getting behind the bars for getting money under false pretenses. Some time ago he bought a bicycle of the Richardson cyclery, paving $S down. After keening it several weeks he re turned it to the owners and wanted to know how much they would give him for it. explaining that he had to go to Topeka. W. C. Richardson did not want to take advantage of him and took the wheel with the understanding that he would sell the wheel for the highest price he could get. Corners had told the dealer that he had made the final payment. A tier the dealer had the wheel a week Corners came to the cyc lery. and then the dealer gave him S19 tor the wheel, as an accommodation the man having expressly stated that he had paid the full amount, J25, for the bicycle. The next day another member of the firm returned from the east, and he was told of the deal, and asked con cerning the payments that Cornets had made. Then it was discovered that all the railroad man had paid was $S, the first installment. Yesterday W". C. Rich ardson hunted the man up, after secur ing a garnishment of his wages, and he boldly declared that all he had received from Mr. Richardson was $3, but the bi cycle man had witnesses who saw the transaction, and when a warrant was issued by Judge Thomas for Cornets, he weakened and handed over the $10. be sides paying all costs. He then left for the east to avoid further trouble, which would have probably followed as the of ficials of the company had advised that he be arrested on a criminal complaint. The settlement was only brought about after air. Richardson had been up all night working on the case. A SWITCHMAN KILLED. Shot in a Box Car at Arkansas City by j Unknown Parties. i Arkansas City. March 2. James Hess, a Santa Fe switchman, was shot and I kiiled Saturday night by unknown par lies in the south yards here. The body was found in a stock car at Pureed Sat- urday. I Hess was seen in the vards here Sat- urday night and he said he was go'ng out of town. A shot w as heard bv sev I eral men in the yards at S o'clock, but j no notice was taken of it. Hess worker here, but quit on February 23. and said to the yardmaster that he was in trou ble over a woman and that he was warned to get out of town or he would be killed. He waited until Saturday night for his time check and was going out on a south bound tiain. It is supposed that he was followed to the switch shanty where he was last seen and that he be ame aw are that his enemy was follow ing him. He then climbed into the stock 'car and was shot. His murderer is un known. A picture of a woman was found on the bodv. but it has not yet been idcntitied. The body is now being heid at P,uri ell, pending, investration. He had evidently been dead for eight or 'ten hours and the body was frozen stiff. I His parents live in Cleburne, Texas. SNOW AND SAND. Rock Island Rotarie3 Make Sparks in Snowbanks. Oflicials of the Rock Island railway say that the outs upon that road in the Panhandle of Texas are drifted full of a mixture of snow and sand. There is as much sand as snow, a net the great ro tary snow plows strike fire from it in a steady stream when they are forced into DESERTED. ?W'i e-r iJJ Jggjg THE KIDS SENATOR it. Many of these cuts are from 20 to 50 feet deep and because of the s-and the rotaries can make little headway at clearing them. They must be shoveled out. and gangs of men are doing that. All trains on the Rock Island from the west are late. The Golden dtate Limit ed from California, due here Wednes day, arrived yesterday, three days late. The same limited, due Thursday night, arrived yesterday afternoon at t".:05 o'clock. The same limited train, due Friday night, arrived last night at mid night. The three Rock Island limited trains due Thursday, Friday and Saturday mornings were able to get through Sunday. WHAT ELKINS LAW MEANS. Interpretation Given to It by a Mem ber of the Commission. Wm. E. Curtis, writing from Wash ington to thy Chicago Record-Herald concerning the Eikins bill, says: The members of the interstate com merce commission naturally decline to interpret the provisions of the new law in advance, and when I called their at tention to newspapr accounts of dis cussions that have recently occurred at conferences of freight and passenger agents in Chicago, they remarked that the language of the statute was per fectly plain and that any man of intel ligence sufficient to manage a railroad ought not to require a commentary. "Is the granting of a pass a rebate or discrimination?" I asked. "Will rail roads be forbidden to give passes to shippers?" "It is not necessary to pay money or refund money or give a check or draft to a shipper or knock off a part of his j bill to commit the offense known as dis- crimination," said one of the members of. j the commission. "Any form of conces- i sion or inducement or advantage of fered to one shipper that is not offered to another is a rebate or a, discrimina tion and therefore a misdemeanor, and is punishable by the penalty-imposed by the law. It is just as much a violation of a law of congress and should be pun ished with as great severity as any vio lation of the internal revenue lavv-i or the customs laws or the laws govern ing the postal service. Rut a railway" company which gives passes in order to obtain freight must be indicted for that misdemeanor and tried before a jury in the federal courts before the penalty can be pronounced. All the interstate com merce commission can do is to ascertain the facts and submit them to the de partment of justice. The Klkins law) will strengthen its arms and make it easier for the law officers of the govern ment to punish violations of the stat utes governing interstate commerce." "What about first offenses? Will any allowance be made or consideration shown for first offenders?" "That is a matter entirely beyond the authority or jurisdiction of the inter state commerce commission. It lies within the discretion of the courts to impose the maximum or minimum fine, and of course it will be governed by cir cumstances. The commission has noth ing to say on any such questions." "What about past offenses?" "All violations of the law known to the commission have been or will be re ported to the proper authorities." "Is the free storage of sugar, coffee, flour or grain for large shippers con sidered a rebate: or an allowance for drayage or cartage, and will such things be punished?" "Any advantage or favor granted to one shipper that is not granted to all shippers is a misdemeanor under the law, and if free storage and allowances for cartage are granted to one class of shippers they must be granted to all shippers." "Does the law apply to exports and imports; must rates upon merchandise shipped to and from foreign countries correspond with domestic rates?" "Certainly. A transportation com pany which offers a lower rate to Liver pool or Hamburg to one shipper than it offersi to another is v iolating the law just as clearly as if the rate were made to New York alone. Rut that is a dif ficult question to decide in the abstract, without knowing the share of the rail road and the share- of the steamer. We have no control over the steamer, but the rail carrier cannot lawfully take less from one shipper than from anoth er, no matter whether the destination of the cargo is within or without tile bounrlaries of the United States." "Does the Elkins law apply to the passenger as well as to the freight bus iness?" "Why not?" was the reply. "It ap plies to all forms! of transportation. No cue can be so credulous as to suppose that e-onsress would pass a law prohibiting discriminations in the traffie' of live stock and merchandise and still permit it in the transporta tion of human beings. The law is in tended to secure equal treatment for the poor and the rich, the small ship pers and the big ones. &nd we hope that it will be cheerfully and prompt ly obeyed by all of the transportation companies" Dallas Wants Bock Island Offices.

Speaking of the Santa Fe's new issue of Tr.tVX.,.j bonds on its Oklahoma division, the Railway Age says: From another point of view the creation of this additional mortgage is worthy of attention as a good illustration of the nat urally increasing complexity of railroad financial arrangements. The Atchison re organization embodied an exceedingly sim ple financial plan. In pursuance thereof the antecedent obligations outstanding had been reduced on July 1, to Sl.- Chicago and St. Ijuis 6s and $623. ooa Chicago Santa Fe and California 5s, to which may be added $lfo.e K Hutchinson and Southern 5s. These liabilities apart, Atchison's funded debt consis-ts primarily of $lo.,ij.iXt of the new general mortgage 4s and $51,000,000 of the new adjustment mortgage 4s, provided for in the reorgan ization. The present company began oper ations substantially on this basis. In the course of its more recent development the only addition to the general bond issues is found in last year's output of $30,000 of 4 per cent and serial debentures. In so far the scheme is as simple as in Iht-hJ. But there are next to be added as new and supplementary direct obligations of the company $0,000. OOo of San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley 5s and now $5,00o.0"'G of Eastern Oklahoma 4s, with which might be included, further, as. to all intents and purposes, divisional obligations of the sys tem, the bonds of the Santa Fe. Preseolt and Phoenix, the Pecos Valley and North eastern and some other small lines in Texas and California. Gradually, there fore, the titles cf the bonds pertaining to the Atchison's system are increasing in number and the amounts are growing in volume, though, fortunately, there is no suggestion of the obscure and confusing financial scheme of the previous regime. All of the anticipations of enlargement of traffic and net income entertained by the reorganizers and by the subsequent managers to the present time have been much more than realized. Between Jan uary 1. lb'.Ki, and July 1, 1S02. the com panv's business practically doubled, partly, however. through the addition of new lines. Gross earnings per mile rose from $4,753 in the fiscal year ISi'T, to S7.52N in In the first six months of the cur rent fiscal vear gross earnings increased $S19,000 and net earnings decreased $540.ij-i. The company earned between and lo ne'e-em on the common stock in li2 and is earning, sav, t per cent on that issue now. Recognition of the fact that the new Atchison is w-idely different from the old one in character of management and in the diversification of sources of revenue is becoming more general, to the advance ment of the repute of the securities of the system in investment circles. J. F. SIMMS LEAVES KAN S AS. Change in Division Superintendents on the Central Branch. Concordia, March 2. E. FT. Holden, chief dispatcher of the Missouri Pacilic at Atchison, succeeds J. F. Simms as division superintendent at Concordia, who has been promoted to a similar po sition in Sedalia, Mo. J. J. Skinner, of Peru. Ind., lately with the Wabash road, succeeds Mr. Holden in Atchison. Since June, 1S95, there have been five division superintendents in Concordia, and each one has been promoted to higher posi tions. There is a greater scarcity of grain cars on the Central Hranch division of the Missouri Pacific than has been known for a number of years. The kick is very general over more than half of the road west of Atchison, which was the corn belt last year. TIRED OF MEXICANS. Santa Fe Wants Caucasins for Track Work Out West. It is reported that the Santa Fe rail road is now trying to get white men for the track department, the peons from Mexico and Indians being incompetent and expensive. The company recently tried Japanese on track work and found them practically useless, while at th-? present time it is insisted that one white man can do more actual work than three peor.s, and at the same time the white man is an intelligent being, which cannot be said of the class of peons which is shipped in here from Mexico. The difficulty heretofore in securing white labor has been the low rate oi wage raid, and this will have to be remedied before good service can be obtained. Mohave Miner. MAY MAKE TROUBLE.

TRADE WITH PORTO RICO. The de'veiepmon'. of commercial rela tions between Porto pi,-o and the Uni ted States since the transfer of that is land t i the control or this country has been idle iiomoual.

Some figures just compiled by the treasury bureau of statistics covering the commerce; between the United Slates and Porto Rico in the calendar year l:e2 and compared with the figures erf preceding years fully sustain this as-e-ntion. They show that the value of 'Vie-re liandise shipped from Porto l'teo to the Uiiiti-d States in 1f0- was $11.6.14.178, nr-ainst fl.l":a in and that the Vuue of merchandise shipped from the United States to Porto Rico in 1902 was $12.1 OS. 2:i7, against $2.C2:j.7f.l in 1897.

EDITORIAL COMMENT. A Dangerous Experiment. Oshkosh Northwestern: How to retain a husband's love, is 1 ouestion that figures largely in a sen sational divorce suit nww being tried in cue of the courts at Chicago. It seem.-1 that Mrs. Arthur J. Vaughan. who is the defendant in the case, determined to try the experiment of arousing her husband's iealousy under the belicl that this would teach him to value the prb'.e he had won in a wife, and foi this ruir;iose she inscribed numerous, endearing little passages and references in her. private diary, alluding to myth ical friends of the male gender who were supposed to be paying her marked attention and seeking to win her friend ship and regard. Not only this but she also included many passages of .1 very uncomplimentary nature regard ing her husband, such as referring Pi him as "the old man." "a hog." "tips old whiskr bloat" and the old fool.'' also alluding to his personal character istic s as "mulish," "disa ereeable" and "stingy," and finally contioing to the, little booklet that "I do despise this creature of tlesh and blood that I am tied to. but 1 guess things may come my way yet." (if course the husband was permit ted to tind this diary and peruse lt:j contents, which according to Mrs Vaughan was part of the plan, and the desired effect of arousing his iealousv worked to a charm. Put instead of in creasing his love and esteem for the wife who was thus apparently unap preoiative of his own good ouulitiea and inclined to triiie with others. Mr Vaughan promptly commenced an ac tion for divorce and brought the tell tale evidence in the diary into court, where JVIrs. Vaughan is now trying to explain matters in the manner men tioned. And even though the woman's story may be true, the exxseiiment was a dangerous cure and should furnish a warning to other women who may be inclined to follow the same programme For while iealousy may sometimes play an important part in catching a hus band, it is seldom indeed that it will help to increase or retain his respect ail1j love after he has tlonnel the double harness and agreed to foot thti biiis. Social Strain at Washington. Now York "Mail and Express. It is 10 be hoped that Mrs. Roosevelt's j indisposition is as slight as she believes it to be. Tire burden of official enter- I Knox, the wife of the attoriwy general, has already succumbed to it. With nil the immunities of republican simplicity, which is still a binding tradition at the capital, the social duties incumbent 0.1 tile faniili.s of men hiirh in office, and particularly on the family of the presi dent, are exceedingly onerous. If there were nothing more, there are the sev eral dinners to til" members of the di plomatic corps and the huge, exhausting public r"eeptions prescribed by ancient usage. These are obligations that can not be evaded. Peyond them is the round of lesser but still important fes tivities and the various functions inci dent to participation in the general so cial life of Washington. A president, with the instinct and. habit of entertaininf?- suong within him. has O !a-- laid ooei. the e ,1 1 e -e of himself and Ids family onlv less than the strain of his pur.dy official duties, This is especially time of the present ad- ministration, which has enP'rtanvel I more than its predecessors. Th-' clel: cate henl'h of Mr. ib Kiniey itupo---d an automate- limit on White House f. s- tivities. Mr. Cleveland began as a bach elor tb. first of his aciministi rrtioos, while the cares incident to j-uiins moth erhood limited the responsibilities of his wife through his second administration. Garlield's administration was too snor t to bear heavily upon his family. Arthur was a widower, and th" simple environ ment, from which th" families of Har rison and Hayes came seemed to pre scribe a simpler fulfillment of their so cial duti.s when in the White lions.'. Xot sine (Jrant's time has the. burden of entertainment been so heavy as it is now, and the wider international out look, with our larger population, makes the mass of White House entc rtaining tar larger- than it was when Oram was j president. j Xo man. except bis constitution is ot iron, can be president for four years and quit the oliice in sound health. As mucn may le said of his helpmeet. The social side of the vice president's duties the. paramount side in that office killed Mr. Hobart. It is the misfortune of the American tradition, and the American Hood's Sarzaparilla Has won success fur beyond the effect of ttdvertising only. The secret of its wonderful popplar ity is explained by its unapproaciucbls Merit. Based rjpon a prescription which cured people considered incurable. Hood's Sarsaparilla Unites the best-known vegetable rem- edies, by such a combination, propor i tion and process as to Lave curatira J power peculiar to itself, j Its cures of scrofula, eczema, psori asis, and every kind of humor, as well as catarrh and rheumatism prove Hood's Sarsaparilla the best blood purifier ever produced. lis cures of dyspepsia, loss of appe tite and that tired feeling make it the "reatest stomach tonic and strength restorer the world lias ever known.

Get HOOD'S. scale of salaries, that a president's fam ily has no corps of assistants at hand to manage the details of a function to the extent that it would be done abroad; that he cannot devolve upon the fami lies of his relatives part of the social duties inherent in his position, and that iiis salary does not permit him to secure the services and provide the relaxations ;;:;c mitigate the strain on the heads of a K'iropean court. His wife has no w ui.ii. i, women, or mistresses of the rubes, or court functionaries to execute her commissions. There are no country for her to retire to. .There is no i r(;-,v;i princess, no premier's wife, no i hv.O duchesses, no peeresses of ancient rook to divert some of the stream that liows through the White Plouse. Americans are clad that this is so. Put one of its consequences is that the endurance of feminine human nature in official life is sometimes sadly taxed. GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. "When a marriage is particularly silly, it is usually also "romantic." After people pass a certain age. they tire of being questioned like children. Some of us should be mighty careful about laughing at others for being- ugly. A family usually gets along peacefully until there are a few dollars to scrap over. Some young men think they are so sweet that they expect a girl to hold their hands all the time. When a boy is sent by his mother to take a cake to a church social, is there any one who blames him if he steals it? The board of I ady Manageresses, or Women Managers; which should it be? Quar rel about this instead of the latest j gossip. If you do not claim in Pent that you need the rest it is an admission that you have never been worked to death with social duties. When a preacher scolds a woman for playing cards and wasting time, she al ways has a suspicion that her husband put him up to it. JIuch fun is made of society slush in newspapers, but it is no worse than the rot sporting editors run into interviews with prize fighters just after a battle. Itents are going up rapidly in Atchi son. It is said that every time a woman hangs a new curiam up. and improves the appearance of the bouse in doing it, her landlord decides that he deserves more rent. President Roosevelt is this kind of a man of courage and conviction; His physicians told him he must not go without an overcoat, and he appeared next day in a blizzard without one, though he had a bad cold. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. I From the Chicago Daily News. I Marriage is sometimes a failure and nl I ways an assignment. Pate hours and a spicy breath are bound to tell on a man. Common sense is almost scarce enough to be classed as uncommon. Impulsive clocprenee is the kind that flows from the cannon's mouth. Pock not upon the wine when it is red. nor upon the rum when it is bay. Paradoxical though it may seem, many' a man who declares his opinion has none.

Several city additions in Shawnee county have reverted to farming land by reason of the bill recently passed by the legislature.

This means some expense so the bill just passed does the work free of charge. In the bill is included the following additions in Shawnee county, which will hereafter be farming land: Parts of Baynter's addition and South Brentwood in Mrs siem township: parts of Cottage Grove, Boston Heights, Franklyn Park and I.ongview in Teeumseh township: parts of Alexander's addition, Bradbury's addition, Irving Place and Plateau ad dition in Topeka township.

The president gets a large number of 'fake" or "queer" letters every day from insane people all over the United States and Europe. The executive receives a great quantity of mail, but few people have an idea of the amount of this "fake" mail that it falls to the lot of the president's secretaries to open. The mail for the president is handled in the official mail room at the city post oftice in Washington, IX C and is de livered at the White House by a special carrier detailed from the force of em ployes at the executive mansion. There are gix letter cases in this room, and each case contains one box for the mail of the president and his family. The number of letters for the president alone runs from 300 to 400 a day, and from ten to fifteen of these are the "fake letter3 There is one man out in California who has been writing to the various presidents for a number of years. He numbers each letter, and the last re ceived was No. 360. In the upper left hand corner is written the rather start ling information. "From Jesus Christ." One of these missives was opened some times ago by permission of the presi dent's secretary and found to contain only a number of unintelligible hiero- I glyphics something like shorthand. Of course, they find their way ultimately into the waste paper basket at the White House, but they are not allowed to be destroyed at the postoflice. Another "freak" who has also been writing to the presidents for long years scorns envelopes and stamps and uses postal caras artogetner. n ne noes not finish what he has to say on one he takes another, numbering them con- I a.-cutlvplv Sometimes he uses ms manv five or six. He signs himself "Mich ael, King of Heaven." and his commu nications are usuaily in the form of commands to the president on the way in which the United States should be run. During the period of the Spanish war he wrote almost daily, and gave orders as to the movements of the fleets in Asiatic waters. Not verv long ago a letter was re- i ceived addressee! to "CJeore Wshins-- ton. president of the I'nifed States." Letters come addressed to the president in all sorts of ways. His real title is "The President," but he gets them all from "His Majesty" and "His Excel lency" down to simply "Teddy Roose velt." Of course, every Christmas scores of letters come for Santa Claus, care of the president, from children who imagine he is a sort of fairy godfather. Washington Post. RRAVE FIGHT FOR LIFE. Bridge Painter Fell 100 Feet, Saved Himself, Not Losing His Head. A thrilling incident is told by the St. Paul Pioneer Press of the marvelous es cape from deaih of a man while painting a bridge 1 feet above the Mississippi river i One afternoon A nderson was swinging happily like a bird on a twig six feet be low the roadway of the high bridge, and about. 10" feet above the Mississippi river The seat of the swing was a short piece of plank.

"I was hanering close to one of the steel rods." said Anderson, "a rod that I was painting. My rope was good and fast.

BATTLE SHIPS FOR German Battleship .r 1;:-.. t Aiming to get ahead ct th" T'nited S tates and more particularly to reduce lanhmd's naval prestige, the German government is making active prepara tions to im lease th" kaiser's navy to an appreciable extent. German shipyards are now being ovcrwoiked in an effort to produce several new battleships of the above iass. The British Battleship Formidable.

How a Big Establishment Secures Effective Service. This is the story of how one of the greatest, perhaps the greatest, retail establishment in the world secures the last drop of effectiveness from its em ployes. The store is that of Marshall Field Co., retail. Chicago, and the plan is not only to keep the salespeople informed concerning the goods adver tised, but. by means of bulletins in the washrooms, to give them information concerning exhibits of interest in vari ous departments, notice of special sales in different parts of the store and sug gestions concerning what is desirable in the attitude of the "salesperson" to ward customers, toward fellow em ployes and toward the house. These suggestions are really the strong link in the system, and have been a strong factor in giving the store its'reputation. Take, fur example, the suggestions about telephoning. They are printed on small cards and hung from house 'phones. The manner in which a person uses a telephone indicates his character to a great extent, and makes either a good or bad impression. And this impression is reflected directly upon the establish ment from which such a message comes. It is a pleasure to do business with a house which performs every detail in a clean cut. satisfactory manner: but it leaves a sting to be -answered abruptly or discourteously over the telephone. It folly to lost ones temper because one does not get immediate connection. Ihis is rarely ever the fault of the tele phone operators, who are nearly always courteous find prompt. When one is called to the telephone he should respond ouickly. and the per son calling should not be left to hold the wire too long sometmng decidedly irri tating, and often unnecessary. Let us throughout the whole house strive to excel in satisfactory telephon ing. Here is the Marshall Field idea of building up a successful business in a nutshell: To do the right thing, at the right time, jn the right way: to do some things belter than they were ever done before: to eliminate errors: to know both side? of the question; to be cour teous; to he an example; to work for love of the work; to anticipate re quirements: to develop resources; to reeogrize impediments: to master circumstances; to act from reason rath er than rule; to be satisfied with noth ing short of perfection. Any employe who makes a practical suggestion for the betterment of the business receives $1: any employe who discovers an error in an advertisement of the firm is awarded $1, and these are considered errors; When there is in any way an exag geration. When the price is wrong. W hen a word is misspelled. When the advertisement is gram matically incorrect or when a false statement occurs. The firm has gymnasiums for each sex. restrooms, a hospital and various other similar provisions. An unassuming folder for the em ployes is entitled: "A few points gathered from memoranda of the meetings between the managers and heads, assistants and others. Some of these points may apply to you and the work you 'are doing." Here are the extracts: Cultivate common sense and diplom acy, and let them show in every detail of every transaction. Learn the great value of courtesy, not merely to customers, but to fellow employes as well. Keep your eyes open for improve ments, criticisms and suggestions which will help any part of this busi ness. Pay strict attention to whatever you have in hand, and let that lor the time have your whole thought. Learn to leave no misunderstanding unsettled to the entire satisfaction of the other party. Cultivate Cleanliness in every spot and corner of the house: see that your own section is perfectly clean. Know- how to write a good business letter, and lie sure you are thoroughly understood by the recipient. Be sensibly economical in large and small matters; save paper, save lights, KAISER AND KING.

Learn to utilize the knowledge of others, and know every man for the best there is in him. Be careful in all your conversation, cultivating prudence', caution, modesty and, as well, good Knglish. Know how to listen well: take in all the points you are told, and catch the spirit as well as the letter of the re quest. Learn to close an interview diplomat ically, and save your time and that of other people as well. Avoid too much cross-examination of customers when goods are returned; this causes needless iiritation. When a commission is placed in your hands to fill, see that you put into it your best judgment and thought. Learn the great extent to which the Golden Rule may be applied 'in busi ness matters with the utmost satisfac tion to all. Don't submit a thing for approval until it is your best; otherwise some thing else than the best may be ac cepted. Printers' Ink. MR. BlbCHOFF'S MELPEKS.

It Will lie Threshed Over in Council Sleeting Tonight. 1 T'hen Cintncilrnan "Jack" niossom said that there were clouds coming up on the horizon, and that a storm would break out when the SO-year garbage contract came up tor pass.as', he evi dently knew what he was talking about. The storm is here. Everything indicates that at Uie meet ing: of the city council this evening a. stronsr effort will be made to defeat the proposed new contract, which car ries with it the provisions fur a tanK system of collecting sarbase from evet y house in the city. The council is divided into two hostile cdm;is. One faction wants the new company to be Riven a franchise, or contract, lor 20 years, giving the company the exclu sive i-iyht during- that time to handle the garbage business of the city. Another i faction holds that 0 years is far too long-, and that tiie city is already tied up with too many 20-year contracts. The city attorney has advised the council that there is grave doubt as to the power of the council to. enter into such a contract, but in .spite of this fact tne committee to which the matter was i referred voted to recommend the con tract favorably. It will come up before j the council this evening m that shape. It is claimed that the city has no right to enter into a contract of this kind "fir I a longer period than one year. It is j aj.-o ctaimeu mat the city has no right to aive a contract to one tirm exclu sively. An effort was made in the com mittee to leave the field open for com petition, l)Ut the committee refused to I accept this plan. I The (Jarbage Reduction company, on its part, claims that in order to warrant the investment of $411,000 in a plant, it must have the exclusive contract for not less than twenty years. In this connection it is interesting to observe that Kansas City. Mo., is now wrestling with the garbage question, the same as Topeka. Its city council will have the question up before it this evening. In speaking of the situation, a Kansas city paper says: "The special committee, appointed by the city council to solve the garbage question, arrived at a decision yesterday. The proposition of R. H. Thorne of Kl Paso, Tex., was accept"! and a contract will be prepared next Monday. This contract will be submitted to the coun cil tor approval. "The committee had received several bids in response to their advertisements for a method of disposing of the citv's garbage. Only three of the bids were seriously considered. One was sent by S. Edwards, representing local cap ital, and provided for the incineration of garbage and th.. conversion of by-products into rertiliz.-i-. The second bid was by J. A. Worthington. who has the contract for removing garbage in ren ver, Colo. It is understood that none of the bills was a material reduction below the present cost to the city of caring for the garbage. j "The bill which met with favor in the I committee was. presented by 1!. II. Thorne of the firm of Moniscn Thorne of Kl I'aso, Texas. The amount of the bid was not disclosed yesterday, but it lis said to be more than ?-i.i.iujii. and higher aF:o than the bids of the others. The contractor agrees to care tor ail the garbage, however, and his plans seemed j so good that the committee "eeepte.J Ji is proposition pan- rly. Mr. Thorne made I several supplemental propositions, lo the commit t"e, -how ing what, he intend ?d to do if he secured t lie contract, and it is possible th.it the arrangements with j him w ill conclude many tea tares addi tionnl to those mentioned in the speci- lications. The details of the contract S have not been decided upon. ilr. Thorne asks a five year contract w ith the option i of extending; it to ten years at i'ae ex plration of the first period. Th power i of the council to make a eoniraet for more than one year was. questioned and this feature will be inquired into." INDOOIt CIRCUS PAID. The Exact Profits Are Not Tet Known. Although the entt rtalnment commit tee of the (lub has not given out its figures upon the financial end of the indoor ciieus in the Auditorium it is understood that the circus has proven a paying venture. There was an at tendance of over seven thousand dur ing the six days, the last two days be ing far the heaviest of the week. As an entertainment attraction the indoor circus was an undoubted success and on effort will be ride to book it for Topeka again next year. The proceeds from last week's stand will go toward the liquidation of the indebtedness re sulting front the pyrotechnic show in the Keith tract last fall. Scarlet Fever Closes School. Chicago, March 2. As the result of the de eloi.mi-nt of scarlet fever in the family of I'rof. James P.

Thinks Agitation Was Started by Disinterested Parties. Atlanta. Ga., March 2. The following letter from President Roosevelt has been received by Clark Howell, editor of the Constitution, in reply to a request for an expression concerning the recent let ter from Mr. Harry Stillwell Edwards of aiacon, in which Mr. Kdwards made a statement of the president's position in the matter of federal appointments in the south, holding that the president had been misunderstood. President Koosevelt writes: Dear Mr. Howell: As to federal ap pointments in the south, frankly, it seems to me that my appointments speak for themselves and that my police is self-explanatory. Po far from feeling that they need the slightest apology or justification, my position is that on the strength of what I have done 1 have the right to claim the support of all good citizens who wish not only a high stand- ai d of federal service, but fair and j equitable dealing to the south as well as j to the north and a policy of consistent' justice and good w ill toward all men. In making appointments I have sought to consider the feeling of the people of: each locality so far as I could consist- I ently do so without sacrificing princi ples. The prime tests I have applied have been those of characters, fitness and ability, and when I have been dissatis fied with what had been offered within my own party lines'l have without hes itation gone to the opposite party, and you are, of course, aware that I have repeatedly done this in your own state of Cleoigia. I certainly cannot treat mere color as a permanent bar to hold ing office, any more than I could so treat creed or birthplace always pro vided that in other respects the appli cant or incumbent is a worthy and well behaved American citizen. Just as little will I treat it as conferring a right to hold office. I have scant sympathy wdth the man of mere theory who refuses to face facts but do you not think that in the long run it is safer for everybody if we act on the motto "All Men I'p" rather on that of "Some Men Iiown?" I ask you to judge not by what I say. but what during the last 17 months I have actually done. In your own state of Georgia von are competent to judge from your own experience. In the great bulk of the cases I have reappointed President McKinley's appointees. The cnangrs I have made were, as I think you will ajriee, changes for the better and not for the worse. It happens I have appointed a -white man to succeed a colored man aa postmaster at Athens and surveyor at Atlanta. In South Car olina I have similarly appointed a white postmaster to succeed a colored post master. Again, in South Carolina I have nomi- nat"d a colored man to fill a vacancy in the position of collector of the port of Charleston, just as in Georgia I have reappointed the colored man who is now serving as collects of the port of Sa vannah. Both are fit men. Why the ap pointment of one should cause any more excitement than the appointment of the other I am wholly at a loss to imagine. I need hardly say that to connect either of these appointments, or any, or all my other appointments, or my actions in upholding the law at Indianola, with such auestions as "stx-ial eauatity" and "negro domination" is as absurd as to connect them with the nebular hy pothesis or the theory of atoms. I have consulted freely with your ow n senators and congressmen as to the character and capacity of any appoin tees in Georgia concerning whom there was question. My party advisors in the state have been Major Hanson of Ma con, Mr. Walter Johnson of Atlanta both of them ex-confederate soldiers and Mr. Harry SUliwell Edwards, also of Macon. I believe you will agree with I me that in no state would it be possible j to find Entlemen abler and more up t ight or better ottalitied to fill the posi tions they have filled with reference to i me. In every instance where these gen- t'emen have united in making a reeom i mendation I have been able to follow I their advice. Am I not right in saying I that the federal officeholders whom I 1 have appointed throughout your state i are. as a body, men and women of a high order of efficiency and integrity'.' If you know of any federal officeholder in Georgia of whom this is not true, pray M:t me know- at once, i I wni welcome testimony from you or i from any other reputable citizen which will tend to show that a given iublic officer is unworthy, and. most emohat 1 ieallv, short will be the shii't of anyone w-hose lack of worth is proven. Inct 1 dehttllv. I may mention that a large percentage of the incumbents of federal o'lievs in Georgia under me are, as I j understand it. of your own political j faith. Hut they are supported by me in every way as long as they continue to render good and faithful service to the pub ie. I This is true of your own state and. by I applying to Mr. Thomas Nelson Page cf 1 A'irginia. to General Basil Ouke of Ken- 1 tiii-kv, ro Mr. Georee Crawford of len- lifssee, to Mr. .John Mellheny of Louisiana, to Judge Jones of Alabama and Mr. Ed gar S. Wilson of Mississippi, all of theyn Democrats and all of then) men of high est standing in the respective committees, you will find that what I have done in Georgia stands not as the exception, but as tiie rule for what I have done through out the sooth. I have good reason to he iii ve that mv appointees in the different stares incut ion.ed. and as th sum of the pasts as the w hole necessarily in the sooth at large, represent not merely an improve ment upon those whose places they took, but upon the whole a higher standard cf federal service than has hitherto been at tained in the communities in question. 1 may add that the proportion of colored men among these new appointees is only about one in a bundred. In view of all these facts I hove been surprised and somewhat pained at whet seems to me the Incomprehensible outcry in the south about my act iems an outcry apparently started in New York for rea sons wholly unconnected with the question nominally at issue. I am concerned at the attitude thus taken by so many of the snuthirn people; but T am not in the least angrv. and still less will this attitude have the. effect of making r.te swerve one hair's breadth to one side or the other from the course I have marked out the course I have consistent! v followed in the past and shall consistently follow In the future. With regard, sincerely yours. T H E O DOR E R'.IOSE V ELT. The Merion Ia Aground. Queenstown. March 2.

(Continued from First Pase.) lty member, Waggener stands at the head of the list when it comes to a right on the floor of the house. Of course, Cyrus Leland Is the real leader in the house, but he is not a speeehmaker. Leland is -more influen til by far than any other individual member. An opinion from him will carry more weight than from a score of other members, not because of any oratory which may accompany it but because it comes from Cyrus Leland. But not counting these two, there are a number of young feliows and some perhaps not quite so youngwho are thinkers and appear to bo clean and honorable above everything else. They are the sort of men from whom one ex pects things. They are not afraid to ex press their opinions and to rtand up for them. In this class one thinks of Kinkel of Reno. Jenks of Franklin. Galle of McPherson, Peck of Cloud, Stavely and Pringde of Osage. Hale of Rush, Hutch eson of Pratt, and others. Then there are the other kind men perhaps just as honest, but from whom one never hears an opinion; me-ii whose faces are not known to any except the members who sit in their immediate i cinity because they never appear in de bate. They vote when their names are called, but that is about the extent of their legislative work. LOCAL. BILL, SESSION. Large Proportion of Those Made Into Laws Are Not General. In the legislation which has so far oc cupied the two branches of the legisla ture local bills have far outnumbered those of a general nature. The propor tion is even larger than usual so that this session is likely to be recalled as a local bill session. The general bills that have so far been signed by the .gover nor are as follows: Approving the contract for keeping Oklahoma prisoners at the Kansas pen itentiary. Requiring damage suits against rail roads to be brought In the county where the damage was sustained or in the county where the railroad has its head quarters. Authorizing burial insurance com panies to do business in Kansas. Extending the time of maturity of school land certificates. Providing for the appointment of exe cutors to look after the estates of per sons who die intestate. Admitting the testimony of the prin cipals in divorce suits where it stands uncon trover ted. Regulating the practice of dentistry. Prohibiting the public exhibition of snake-eating. To establish a code of examination for admission to the bar. Giving additional powers to .he state board of health. To protect Chinese pheasants. Creating a state board lo examine barbers. Financing the State Poultry associa tion. Increasing the salary of the superin tendent of public instruction to $2,a00. Providing for improvements at the Hutchinson reformatory. Providing for annual reports of the state superintendent of Insurance. Appropriating money for improve ments and maintenance at the blind school at Kansas City. Requiring the equipment of hotels and boarding houses with fire escapes. Authorizing the issuance of profes sional certificates to Kansas teachers. The certificates are good as long as the holder continues teaching. Authorizing the establishment of county high schools in all counties of less than 2.500. Two bills appropriating money for legislative purposes. Authorizing a deficiency appropriation for state printing. LOCAL BILLS. There have been a considerable num ber of bills for Jocal educational and library curioses. One of these bills is mentioned above. Otheit are as fol lows Placing the Lawrence library under the provisions cf the library law. To enable Manhattan to levy a tax for library purposes. To permit Wichita to erect a new high school building. Giving Osawatomie power to levy an additional school tax. To establish a high school in Stohrville township. Harper county. To establish a high school in Graham county. To estabish a high school In Cheyenne county. To establish a county high school in Gove county. To establish a county high school in Trego county. Making the schools of Russell graded schools. i To establish a high school in Ford county. To establish a high school In Chase county. To enable Burlington to increase Its school facilities. Some of the other more Important lo cal laws are: Authorizing Barton county to build a new jail at Great Bend. To provide for the drainage of ponds and swamp ground in Coffey county. Bills to enable the following counties to build court houses: Kingman, Ness, Neosho. Doniphan.

Requiring the register of deeds of Rice county to keep a bulletin showing the markets and all current news for the benefit of those who do not subscribe for newspapers. No Pot Shot for Matcalf. George T. Zimerle defends General Metcalf as follows: "As the several times repeated but as yet unsubstantia ted story which charges General Wilder S. Metcalf with wantonly ohooting a Filipino prisoner is again boobing up 1 wish to tell a little story showing the character of the man against whom these charges are made. In 1SS5 I as eiiEaged in a business vnror-? at Chandler, Ok., wherein K. W. M?tcalf. an uncle of Wilder S had a financial interest. Wilder, as his uncles repre- sentative, paid me a visit of several days' duration, during whion time we spent an afternoon driving over the sur- rounding, country. Mr. Metcalf is an enthusiastic sportsman and a crack shot. In the carriage with lis Frank W. Rosh, an ex-member of the Kansas legislature, who had simi'ar tastes, anil tne conversanon uuiui.iii.v v 1 drifted into hunting stories. hen 1 the subject of pot shots was broached. Met- calf expressed a strong disapproval of. that method, saying that while he vt en. hunting because he wanted quail, he be- lleved in giving the birds a chance. Those who know General Metcalf per- j sonally will readily agree with me that, SSSStSSS manlikrad-vtaSr ot rnT would be guilty of the charges made against him." Elllen M.

"March comes in like a lamb and goes out like a lion," says the book of "Weather Proverbs" which is a part of the records of the United States weather bureau. The proverb seems to be cor rect in the first statement, as Sunday was balmy enough with the thermom eter up to 40 and the wind blowing- -0 miles an hour from the southwest. The second statement can not be proven for a few weeks. Other proverbs relating- to March, as recorded in the book, provide for any contingency. "Winds in March and rains in April promise great blessings in May." "As much dew as shown in March so much fog rises in August." The unqualified promise that "in the beginning or in end March its gifts will send" is made, and also "As it rains in March so it rains in June." There seems to have been a rush in days gone by for the saints to appropriate a day in March, and two of them who have homesteaded a day in the month govern the elements as follows: "Is't on St. Joseph's day (29) clear So follows a fertile year; 1s t on Mary's (25) bright and clear Fertile is said to be the year." j The farmers are expected to put faith in the proverb "A damp, rotten March gives pain to farmers." and the follow ing "policy" combination is said to never fail: "A dry March, wet April, and cold May. fill barn, cellar, and bring much hay." The assurance is made that "rain in March, poor harvest." There is a re ward for dust in the proverb "Dust in March brings grass and foliage." An in junction should be gotten out to prevent snow lor "Snow in March is bad for fruit and grape vines." lt will be well to have a goodly store of medicine on hand for ."March will search. April will try, and May will tell you whether you live or die." Here are some more: "March wet and windy Makes barn full and findy. "March damp and warm Will do the farms much harm." "A peck of March dust and showers in May Make corn green and fields gray." "If March comes in with adder's head It goes out with peacock's tail." "March wind and May sun Makes clothes white and maidens dun." "A March wisher Is not a good fisher." The French say "A rusty March, a snowy February, a moist April and a dry May presage a good year." The Scotch say "March dust and March wind bleaches like a summer's sun. Those who object to movements in real estate must remember that "A bushel of March dust is worth a king's ran som." The proverbs seem to foretell theweath er in February. The mean temperature for the month was 27.7. The warmest February on record was in 1SC6. when the mean was ?.i,4, and the coldest was in when the mean was 1S.9. The maximum temperature for last Feb ruary was 6tl on the 1st, and the cold est was 10 below on the 17th. The high est February maximum recorded was in 1816. when the mercury got up to 78, and the coldest was in IKSti, when the thermometer reached 25 below. The pre cipitation for last month was 1.14, and the -normal is 1.71. Observer Jennings' records show that the wettest February was in 1900, when 3.58 inches were re ceived. The driest February was in 1S90. when 44 hundredths of an inch was recorded. The forecast sent out today is "Gen erally fair tonight and Tuesday; warmer tonight." The wind today has been from the south, blowing 16 miles an hour. The hourly temperatures record ed today by the government thermom eter are as follows: 7 o'clock 24 I 11 o'clock 32 8 o'clock 24 1 12 o'clock 33 ft o'clock 30 1 o'clock 34 10 o'clock 34 i 2 o'clock 34 WAR AND FAMINE. Spread Over a Large Section of the Chinese Empire. Victoria, B. C, March 2. Further particulars were received by the steam er Pakling which arrived from the Orient, of the revolutionary movement discovered at Hong Kong, where a number of rebels were arrested and boats laden with aims and uniforms were seized. Several hundred recruits were raised in Hong Kong and several thousand uniforms, quantities of arms, ammunition, canned provisions and food supplies had been dispatched to Canton. The rebels had arranged to rise at a signal on January :;S at the beginning of the new year celebration and waylay and murder the mandarins and high officials. Fires were lo be started at various parts of Canton and the treasury sacked. The British gun boats Britomart and Mooren went at once to Canton when the plot was dis covered. To aid in the sack of Cantor a force of rebels under Colonel Chon were hidden at a small city not far distant ready to march on Canton when the signal was given. The gates of Canton have been kept closed since the intended uprising and numbers of ar rests and summary executions have taken place. Colonel Dougherty of the British le gation at Pekin has arrived at Canton to make a report to his government on the Kwangsi rebellion. The latest news of this rebellion shows that it has spread all over the province. The Pakling brought details of the famine which is devastating five pre fectures in the northern part of Japan. There are in all 150.000 persons com pletely destitute and many deaths are reported from starvation. HE WASN'T T II EKE.

When the vote was taken on a motion to submit the question to arbitration, .Mr. liergundthal to appoint, his five representatives on the committee, the ayes and noes sounded very much as though the ayes had it. But a division was o ailed for, and the secretary count ed 13 standing for each side of the ques tion. As a matter of fact, the secretary made a miscount, there being 11 noes and 13 aye votes. Then there was confusion in the arbi tration camp. They did not expect such a rebuff, and so all the- leaders of the Herpundthal party took turns at mak ing speeches deploring the action, and urging that Mr. IJerffundt hal be allowed to "have bis way" and submit the ques tion to arbitration. Then a motion was made to reconsider, and on the second standing vote, only two voted against the arbitration scheme. The Lawrence Gazette says of the Topeka situation: "Two years ago the Republicans of Topeka forced the nomination of J. W". K. Plushes for mayor over the puotests of the best and strongest Republicans of the city. The result was that.a ma jority of more than two thousand was turned into a minority, and a w ide open mayor was elected, isinee then, the sa loons have been running openly. And Topeka w ill do the same thing again. Hut men and parties who refuse to learn by experience should be made to puffer for their bull headedness." At the Sunday meeting of the Topeka T pogtaphical union, w hieh is one of the most powerful and respected labor organizations of the city, resolutions ware adopted rt pudiating the lewds in dorsement by the Trades Council. It has been evident for some time that the Iirinters of the city are opposed to mix ing politics with union affairs, and the following resolution expresses their view of the matter: "Resolved. That while we as indi vidual members of this union are favor able to candidates for office who wdll pledge themselves to uphold fair wages, the eight-hour law and employment ot union labor, as an organization it wall not give its otrn iai maorsenieiit to any aspirant for political proferment, and any person or association claiming to be aide to direct or control the votes of its members is deceiving the politicians and the public" 3 ,y-s j, v MISS HE HAN'S AUCTION Hare Ob- Mr. and Mrs. Lee P..

Any ptrson, persons, com pany or i-orpot ution doing business in the state of Kansas, whereby an agency or sale contract son. persons, company or corporation and other pai ties w ho shall act as agent or agents for said person, persons, com pany, or corporat ion tor the sale or mauufacture of any machinery, goods, or other piroperty, is hereby prohibited from nav ing printed or w ritten in said contract any clause, section or para graph whereby it shall lie construed to be an ex lusive contract for the sale or manufacture of any kind of machinery, coods or other property onlv. or to pro hibit the sale or manufacture of any machinery, goods or other property of a like kind and nature. i "Sec. 2. If any contract is made with su.-h an exclusive clause, section or par- i aeraph therein the same shall be null and void, and no recovery can be had thereon." This bill is also designed to allow j any implement dealer to handle peni- j t' ruary twine. One of the things th.? I trust aimed at was to compel imnle r.ier.t dealers to handle nothing but trust twine. This law will allow them to sell, penitentiary twin". j This bill has had a peculiar experi- enc.-.

Furniture, an tiquities and other objects of art belonging- to Miss Ada Rehan, and said to have cost upward of $100,000. will be sold at auction today, at 7 West Twenty-ninth street. The sale is in charge of Charles E. Smith of 8 West Twenty eighth street. These art objects were formerly the property of Augustin Daly, and com prise the scenery, tapestries, costumes and "properties" of nine Shakespear ean comedies. They came into the'pos session of Miss Rehan upon Mr. Daly's death, three years ago, and have since been in storage. Miss Rehan recently- decided tiat she would have no further use for the elab orate stage settings, and. rather than pay storage charges, concluded to sell them. Some of the more expensive fur niture used in "The Taming of the Shrew" has been in Miss Rehan's home, and will be brought to the West Twenty-ninth street galleries, where it will be placed on exhibition Thursday. The sale will be a notable one be cause of the high intrinsic values of the different pieces. Nearly every object used in the several comedies was se eded abroad by Miss Rehan and Mr. Dalv. and no price was too great for a piece of furniture or a tapestry that fitted into a scene. Many of the chairs, bronzes and vases are of the Louis XIV., XV, and XVI. period, and cannot be duplicated. In all, there will be between 400 and 4T.0 pieces of scenery, still in a good state of preservation. With these are the elaborate costumes that have been so often worn in New York theaters. These, too. have been carefully kept, and still see considerable service. Ev ery piece of scenery was painted under the personal direction of Mr. Daly and Miss Rehan. Many tapestries will be offered for sale. These include several rare old iUauvai.-o pieces used in The Taming of the Snrcw" (the most elaborately j staged Daly production six portieres that cost $in.tieii an"! several d'Aulwsson i floor tapesi'-jes. There arc also tian.l painted tapestries and others heavily embroidered or painted in designs of the Shakespearean period. I Several of the chairs used in "The Taming of the Shrew" are covered with Beauvaise tapestries, and cost Mr. Daiy as high as each. One of the pieces to which will be at tached a sentimental value is toe bust of i Miss lu-han, by Ilazeltin-. Mr. Daly j paid $l,r.00 for this, and thought lie had bargain. Another piece which has seen much service in and out o the theater is a silver punch bowl which served as j an accessory to "The St hool for Scan dal." and plnved a pleasant part in the 1 ceremonies follow illL' ovieninET ninhtS at Daly's theater.

I finally told him that he outfit, to be ashamed of such nerve, and was re warded by a cuff on the ear which kepi my head ringing lor five minutes. When he had secured me to hi" satisfaction, he looked me over and said: "I'm goin' down into the kitchen for sunthin' to cat, and if yer try any of your tticks on me it'll be the nuns for yer!"

My burglar had his back to the door, and the otfieer causlu on at once and steppped forward and gave him a blow with his club, whion knocked him off the chair, and seemed for a while to have finished his career.

As a result of a "grand Bprlng open ins" held at 9-1 Kansas avenue Satur day night, Flossie Herring, a woman of the town, is suffering from a broken leg and internal injuries which may prove fatal. The house where the row occurred has been empty for several nionths, and was last used as a disorderly house by Sadie sit. Claire. A young woman named Kline moved into the place and opened an establishment Saturday. The two women were trying to enter tain a Parkdaie gang early Sunday morning, when the trouble occurred. Five of the Parkdaie boys decided to lean out the place, and from the looks of the dive when the police arrived, Mrs. Xaiion and her followers could not have done better. The young men took oft their coats and then proceeded to de molish the furniture. Window curtains and portieres were torn down, and doors kicked off the hinges. The two women put up a good fight, but they were in dire straits. If they called police as sistance they would lie arrested them selves, and of they did not they stood a good chance of being mur dered. Finally after both women had been frightfully beaten. and Flossie Herring, who weighs about 180 pounds, had been thrown down the outer stair way and her leg broken, the other wo man tried to gel to the telephone to call the police. The young toughs kept her away from the instrument, but she managed to get to a messenger call and turn the indicator. A boy answered the call, and when he arrived the Kline wo man told him to get a policeman. The young toughs wtio were in pos session of the house tried to head the messenger off, but he outran them, f lown Kansas avenue, he found a police man, who was just going in to report. j It was about 5 o'clock, w hen many of j ih officers have gone home. Officer Walker hurried to the scene of action, j and was just in time to see the gang i turn the corner and escape. They had j been in too big a hurry to get their coats, and after the officer had assisted in getting tile injured woman to her room and summoning a doctor, he caught two of the gang, the notorious "Smoke" "Williams and John Hamilton, who had returned with the intention of recapturing their coats. The two. boys who were captured wanted to plead guilty to disturbing the peace this morning, but Judge Magaw put the case off until 4 o'clock so that witnesses could be summoned. "Smoke," or Frank Williams, who was arrested, has a long police record, although he is not more than-IS years of age. He is the son of a minister, and his mother was a member of Car rie Nation praying band. Rev. Mr.'AVilliams took a prominent I part in the first Carrie Nation distu-rb-I ance and drew a revolver on two po I lio.-men wdiile attempting to rescue the Home refenders from arrest. The son seems to havea tendency toward stren uous reformation himself. The women, who are pretty badly used up, have not yet been arrested, probably because one of them is not able to be taken to the station, and the other has to take care of her. VINEVYOOD SCHEME. May Build a Line to Junction Gitv and Nemaha County. A dispatch from Topeka to the Kan sas City Star says: "A report reached here from Pottawa tomie county today to the effect that an agent of Kansas City and Topeka capi talists has been in the northern part of that county and the southern part of Nemaha for the last week, looking for the best route for a new railroad which will tap the coal fields in that section. It is said that the new road will be owned by the capitalists who are bat k of the Vinewood Park electric line in this city. The company expects to build an j elec tric road, according to the reports i here, w hich will run from Kansas City j to Junction City and follow the Kansa-s river. It is expected that the road will run along the south side of the river to Topeka, and from here to Junction City j it will be on the north side. The pur- pose of building the short spur from j Wamego to Corning, in Nemaha county. 1 is to tap ihe coal region there and fur- 1 nish a fuel supply for the power houses.

Pittsburg, Pa.. March 2. It was stated today that for the first time since No vember the Pittsburg division of the Pennsylvania railroad is entirely cleaned up and that there are now no cars at any of the terminals or along the line that is not outside the jurisdiction of the authorities. There is some conges tion at the terminals of manufacturing companies, but with this the companies themselves must deal as the cars await unloading. On the Baltimore Ohio and the Pittsburg Lake Erie mads the usual Sunday "clean up" has resulted in the disposition of cars that had accumu lated at terminals and on side tracks and these lines are also now compara tively free from congestion. A CANNON ON THE TRACK. How People of Park Falls, Wis., Head ed OffWisconsin Central. Park Falls, Wis.. March 2. Finding that it was impossible to get an injunc tion to restrain the Wisconsin Central railway section crew from laying a sidetrack, the Park Falls residents have placed a cannon on the track near the Flambeau Paper company's plant where the trouble on Sunday took place. The trouble started over the attempt on the part of the Wisconsin Centrai to lay a spur track to the plant of the company in a manner and at a time un favorable to the company. After the crew had about completed the laying of the rails the paper company called out its employe-", who laid several lines of hose and turned water on the track men, forcing them to discontinue work.

New York, March 2. A remarkable scene was enacted in the Sunday school of the Ainslee Street Presbyter ian church in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn. A short time before, Emma Kauseh, 9 years old left home for Sundaj' school. On the way she bought a penny whistling balloon. This she took into her class and while in flating it for the amusement of her mates, the wooden' mouthpiece slipped into her throat. She gasped, and pain and fear showed in her eyes. The chil dren became alarmed and their excla mations of fright attracted the atten tion of Charles Ffllett, superintendent of the Sunday school. He called to a. trustee of the church and they worked to extricate the toy from the throat of the fast choking child. Not until she became unconscious was it believed that her condition was critical. Phy sicians were summoned, but could not extricate the toy. When they an nounced that death was near the Rev. Dr. R. S. Dawson raised his hand and asked that all kneel and pray. Then he prayed aloud and fervently for the soul that was passing; away before their eyes. The child's parents, who had been sent for. entered as the clergyman was about to begin his prayer. The mean ing was clear to them and they knelt sobbing beside their child. And on the winds of the prayers of their play mates and friends the child's soul was bore away to its maker. Tenderly the body was carried to an adjoining room, and Dr. Dawson led the awe-stricken congregation in a memorial service in place of the regular Sunday school ex ercises. JAPANESE COTTAGES. Two Are Being Built by Wm. Rocke feller in New York. Wa tertown," N. Y,, March 2. People in this section of New York state are greatly interested In the improvements being made by William Rockefeller 011 his Adirondack estate near St. Regis lake. ?.Ir. Rockefeller recently engaged a number 1 -t Japanese to build him two beautiful Japanese cottages near the lake ior use in summer. All of tivs work is done by the Japanese, tinder the su pervision of a Japanese architect. The buildings will be exactly like those of Japan and will cost many thousands of dollars. Even American nails are dis carded, and as much Japanese material as can possibly be used is being put in the cottages. Hundreds have been attracted to the cottages 011 account of the unique man ner in which the Japanese handle their tods. They draw a plane towards them, saw a board from them, and are all left handed. No Americans are allowed on the job. Even the man who carries' tiie hod with mortar for the walls is a Japa nese. Both cottages will be completed in time for occupation this summer. FIGHTS SALOONS.

Then the grocerman investigated. He found the boy there all right, seated well above high water mark; a package of Ufieeda BiSCllit in hi3 hand; his mouth full of the contents. "What in the name of common sense have you been doing down here all this time?" inquired the grocerman.

I've opened and tried all of this big pile here, and this is the last package. They're just as good and fresh as ever!" Moral.
