Fire Department Drove Work men Away With Water. Impeachment Proceedings De gun Against the Mayor. Parkersburgr, TV. Va March 1". The Baltimore Ohio railroad, claiming the right under an ordinance adopted in lSofi, brought a force of men into town before daylight today and began to lay a track for five blocks over one of the principal streets of the city. The fire department was called and poured such a stream of water on the men that they had to abandon the work. A clash oc curred between Mayor Vandervort, who is attorney for .the Baltimore Ohio, and the city council. The mayor had directed the police and fire department not to interfere with the building of the track, but the council countermand ed his orders and the department stood with the council and the citizens. The city council held a special meeting- at 10 o'clock at which impeachment proceedings were begun against the mayor. He was suspended from office and injunction proceedings were be gun. Calls have been issued for men to protect the street from any further interference and hundreds are respond ing. BIND AND GAGA WIDOW. Fourteen Masked 3Ien Find 10,000 In Her Home. Wapakoneta. O., March 17. Fourteen masked robbers invaded the home of Mrs. Reichehlei'fer, a well to do widow, living near the village of Cridersville, bound the members of the family, and secured nearly 10, Oft') worth of valu ables and money. After they had fin ished ransacking the house several of the gang remained until early in the morning, feasting on cold food, wine, and cider which they found in the cel lar. Mrs. Feiohelderfev, it is said. was afraid to trust her money to banks, which accounts for the large amount kept in the house. Living in the house with Mrs. Reirh elderfer were a granddaughter. Blanche Keich"lderfer, 10 years old, and a fam ily by the name of Imes. consisting of the father, G-eorge Imes. his wife, -and their son Joseph, who was absent when the robbers appeared. Just after the family had concluded supper the fourteen masked men, well armed, entered the kitchen and ordered them to throw up their hands. George Imes showed fight and was promptly knocked down by the robbers, who then blindfolded and gagged all the family with the exception of the little girl and tied them to beds and furniture, each in a sep-irate room. Mrs. Reichelderfer was known to have a considerable amount of money in the house, and the rohhers forced little Blanche to tell the hiding place. A shotgun was placed at her breast, but she was brave and stipulated that, her gold watch and ring, which were hidden, should not be taken. After they had agreed she told them that the money was in the corner of an old chest in the garret. The robbers made an examination and took from the chest $S, 000 in cheeks, drafts, and securities, and nearly 52,000 in cash. During this time two of the robbers lay in wait for Joseph Tmes, and wh"u he entered the yard he was sandbagged, bound and blindfolded, and thrown in one corner of the kitchen. The little girl was alsot tied aftr she had revealed the hiding place of the moneyp The robbers then tore up carpets and furniture, searching for a secret door, which report said led to a closet, for jewelry, but without success. In tin. search, however, they gathered up sev eral hundred dollars' worth of silver ware f-nd rings, taking objects of trifling value. They searched the pockets of Imes, finding his wages, and asked him where he put the money he received the day before for a horse- and buggy. They were unable to find this. All the members of the family were addressed by their igiven names, and tiie robbers seemed familiar with the hous and surroundings, which leads to tlv belief that they are from Cridersville and the surrounding territory. They were all young. After the ransacking was concludec. about midnight, some of the robbers j left, taking their share of the booty. while the rest remained to refresh their -j selves. Th table was set v.'ttii pie. cold I coffee, and other eatahtes, and wine and eider were brought from the cellar. Tnc robbers made merry until after 2 n'clo. k j in the morning, when th-y departed, i leaving their victims bound. They were disc ovrred early in the morning by a neighbor and released. RED DESERT FLOODED. Water Backs l"p Against Union Pacific Track. the Rock Springs. Wyo., March 17. The Rd desert is inundated for miles east, of Roc k Spiines and the salt wells drilling station is completely under water. Large quantities of supplies belonging to the Beigo-A nieriran Drilling company have been ruined or swept away. The water has backed up against the Union Pacific embankment to a depth of SO feet .n places. The embankment has not yet been cut, but there is danser that this will occur and track walkers are kept constantly on the move over the threat ened section. Shot In Leg 'While Hunting. Ottawa. Kas., March 17. .Tehn Con dron, chief cierk of the Santa Fe master mechanic at Argentine, Kas., was shot and badly wounded in the right leg while hunting near here. The shooting was an accident. Condron and a brother-in-law had come down from Argen tine for an outing. In company with Mr. McCorkle, a '.irakeman of Ottawa, they went out east of town. The ham mer of McCoikle's gun slipped in his hand as he raised his weapon to shoot at a rabbit and Condron. who was a few yards distant, received the entire charge in the tleshy part of the right leg above the knee. WOiEfiSEflTTQPBISOFl. Tried to Exercise Privilege Appropriated by 3ien. New York, March 17. Two women have been sentenced in the court of spe cial sessions in Brooklyn to serve ten months in the penitentiary for using improper language on the streets. In pronouncing sentences Justice Keady said "I am determined to prevent such oc currences as this in the future. If this thing is to be tolerated, how will it be possible for respectable -women to walk in the streets without having their ears and sensibilities shocked. If you come here again I shall punish you to the full extent of the law." HAWAII WANTS Will Will Try to Induce Roosevelt to Extend liis Trip. (By Pacific Cable to Associated Press.) Honolulu, March 17. The people of the Hawaiian Islands are very much in terested in the western trip of President Roosevelt and for some time past lead ing citizens have been discussing the matter with a view to asking the presi dent to extend his trip beyond San Francisco and come here. An urgent invitation has been forwarded to the president inviting him to visit the Ha waiian Islands, and it is planned in the event of his acceptance that the steamer on which the presidential party travels will be in constant communication with the mainland and with the Hawaiian Islands. In this way the president can be informed daily of the trend of na tional affairs and can direct machinery of the government on the vessel on which he travels. In the event of mat ters requiring the president's immediate return to Washington it would be an easy matter for the details of the return trii to be arranged by wireless tele graph and no time would be lost by delays either here or in Pan Francisco in arranging for the route and other details inc idental to a trip ofthe presi dent of the I'nited States from either Honolulu or San Francisco on his re turn across the continent. The hope is enthusiastically expressed that the presi dent will so arrange his plans as to permit his visiting the Hawaiian Isl ands. MISS AST03 til GAGED.

Or It May Renew the Existing Company's Franchise. Third W ay Is to Make a Fight in Courts. "I have prepared a statement of thr waterworks bend situation." said City Attorney Charles F. Spencer today, "which reviews briefly the progress -jf the negotiations up to date, and will serve as a basis for the extensive dis cussion of that question which will take place just before the coming election. This statement does not purport to be a complete resume of what has taken place. It would require more space than is in one day's issue of the State Jour nal to do this. But it covers some of the essential points of the controversy." When asked to express an opinion as to the chance which the waterworks bonds have of carrying, Mr. Spencer de clined to make any statement. Tire following is the situation as sum marized by Mr. Spencer: "When I came into office in April. 1&01, the city attorney was under in structions by the mayor and council to institute proceedings to acquire the waterworks plant, by paying the fair and eauitable value thereof as provided in the franchise granted to the company in 1SS1. The same instructions were also given by the council in office durins 1901. According to the terms of this franchise these proceedings could not be begun until after September 5, 1901. After this date the proceedings were ai once instituted in strict accordance witu the terms oft the franchise contract. "On December 9, 1901, Judge Hazen announced that he declined to act as arbitrator in the matter as contemplated fight, which has been suppressed by the by the contract. faculty.

It would wriiing the situation and the opinion ot have been a difficult thine to do. When the attorneys, and the advice of the at- i the sophomores were all out of doois, tornys was concurred in by the council, .some of the faculty interfered, and "In the second place the reason suit j said that the thing has coma to a good was not brought to acquire the water stopping place, and suggested that the 1 j. 1.101 u pacing tne lair ana equila hie I value under the contract was, that the aiiui-iipj-5 ana tne count 11 were satisfied i that the price which would in all prob 1 ability be fixed would be far beyond the I fair and equitable value of the plant. "In 1900 at the time the report of the two appraisers was made as to the value of the plant, the engineer repre senting the water companv fixed its value at JHSS.1S3.13. The engineer repre senting the city fixed the value at S4;8. .J..0.6A. At that time the water companv insisted that a third engineer be called m to settle the difference between the two engineers, but this offer was de clined by the mayor and council. "The water company has at all times been ready and willing to have and have j offered to have, the fair and equitable vaiue 01 tne plant determined by court proceeding or by arbitration, but the mayor and council have at all times de clined to go into a proceeding of this kind, for the reason above stated. The attorneys have concurred in the judg ment of the council in this matter. "From some time in January, 1002, and up to Septemher. 1902. negotiations were pending between the mayor and council and the water company with a view of trying to obtain the best possi ble price at which the water plant could be purchased, and these negotiations re sulted early in October, 19e2, in the JS20.000 proposition, which was the best that could be obtained. Since October, 1902. the matter has been awaiting the circulation of petitions for a water works bond election and tne calling of the election. During these negotiations and pending the calling of an election legal proceedings have been suspended. "Leaving out of consideration what is the actual value of the plant, it hn.i been the opinion of the attorneys and. I think, the opinion c:f nearly al! the oouncilmen that it was not likelv that j the c ity would succeed in getting a ma i terially better price for the water plant than b'ii.oi.ij ny any proceedings in court or by arbitration where hydraulic engineers would necessarily be railed in to determine the value of the plant, and that there was a strong probability that the price might be fixed at a "much higher figure than $020.0iio. "It is not my purpose here to dis cuss the actual value of th-" plant. "The written opinion of Mr. McFar land under date of August 20, l:-ej, in rvddifion to a discussion of the Paw j questions involved. presents some i analysis of the figures on the vaiue of the plant as reported by the t-.t'o en gineers. v. ho made th-j appraiseme-at, which will he of some assistance to voter3 in passing upon the question of value. "The situation as it now stands re solves itself into three propositions: "First To purchase the plant at $620,000. "Ce-..,.-,S; Tv-P mirMd i& and grant the water company a renew al of franchise on the best terms ob tainable as to rates and extension of ma ins. "Third Not to purchase but litigate w-ith the water company as to what franchise rights it may have under the contract of 1SS1. "The water company has signified its willingness, in case the city does not purchase, to make reductions in water rates and extensions of mains as per proposal of Mr. Street, the president of the company; the consideration, how ever, for such concessions being the recognition by the city of the contract of 18S1 which provides that the city must purchase the plant or renew the franchise at the expiration of each twenty year period. "In this connection I desire to refer to the water rate suit. "In 1897 the mayor and council pass ed an ordinance providing for a reduc tion of 20 per cent on water rates as fixed by the franchise of the company. The water company commenced a suit in the federal court to enjoin the carry ing out of this ordinance on the grounds: "First That the' ordinance violated contract rights. "Second Because the rates fixed were unreasonable and confiscatory. "In April, 1901, the court decided the first point in favor of the city, and the case then stood awaiting the taking of testimony and trial on the second con tention as to the reasonableness of the rates. "Nothing further has been done with this suit for two very good reasons. "The first reason is that under the contention of the city the franchise of the company would expire m Sep tember, 1901, and there were no longer any contract rights to litigate as to water rates, and such attempted litiga tion after September, 1901, would have been a recognition of the company's franchise. "The second reason is that as already stated the water company has all the time been ready and willing to adopt and accept substantially the rates fixed by the ordinance of 1897 in considera tion of the recognition of its franchise.

Senate Bill for This Purpose Was Nearly 830,000. The appropriations of the recent leg islature "for legislative purposes" ag gregated $110,000, and this sum was ail used up except about $1,000. It went for salaries of members and employes, for mileage, and a few miscellaneous items, btu did not include the printing bill nor the items in the miscellaneous appro priations bill, which would bring the total up to a much larger sum. The $109,000 which this legislature co3t in per diem, mileage and a few miscel laneous items is said to have been about $15,000 in excess of the cost of the aver age legislature. It might have been cul down $40,000 by lopping off the useless employes, and still the legislature would have got just as much work done. The per diem of the members of both houses amounted to $24.7i0, and the mileage ate up several thousand more. The postage of the members was $3,300. The per diem of the 230 house em ployes amounted to $34,500 for the regu lar session of 150 days. Then about 100 of them were let out and 130 kept on the pay roll for ten days longer, adding $3,900 to the amount., The per diem of the 160 senate em ployes amounted to $24,000 for the regu lar session of 150 days, and they ail continued to the end, ten days longer, adding $4,800 to the amount. A large number of these clerks did nothing whatever but draw their pay, while others earned more than thre dollars a day and ought to have had more.. In this class were the reading clerks and the journal clerks who had to work night and day. The senate had four employes pr member and the house about 2 2-3 per member. Both houses could have dis pensed with two-thirds or three-fourths of them and got along as well r?r bet i ter. Forty thousand dollars could have I been easily raved by abolishing the use 1 less employes. i Repressiitative Jones, of Norton, the 1 speaker pro tern., accuired a reeorl j which few members can boast of. Ha 1 answered every roil call and voted 0,1 i every measure. There is an example for the members who used to break lor the cloak room .whenever they sighie la measure they did not wich to eo on record 011. Colonel Jones was In Topek j last evening on bis way heme. Af'r j the legislature adjourned he went don :i i to Pittsburg to visit his brother I Lieutenant Oevernor Hinna has gne home to Hill City to look after hi in terests there, w hich he has been nesle.'i. :mg since the legislature' opened. This lis his first trip home since his inaugura tion. He will be there, about two weeks, find then will go down to Great. Bend i to look on at the Seventh district serai, i It will be only a few weeks before thn i state board of railroad assessors, of j which the lieutenant governor is chair- man, will have to begin its biennial (travels over all the lines of Railway ir i the state. j M. L. Hare, of Glasco. was a candi date for a place on the state board of charities and corrections, but Governor j Bailey did not see fit to give him tl.fl I job. However. Mr. Hare wants it un i derstood that he is just as much of a Bailey man as ever. "I have no sores j to heal." he said. "My epidermis is per fectly sound and unbroken. 1 can rec ognize the fact th't thin is a large ta' and there are many interests to har monize, and if Governor Bailey cn dr this in the best interests of the people and the strengthening of the Repub lican party. I will not only get out of his war but I will assist him all I can. When I kick you can rest assured thera is something real to kick about." Some of Harry McMillan's PTnorratli friends are hnidine him responsible for th new railroad law which deprive? the Dem ocrats of representa'ion on the ?tate hnari of railroad commissioners unless thev can carry a state election. Fpnatnr McMI'da-i defends himself hv contendinK that it la right that, the people should elect the com missioners, even if the Democrats are de prived of a commissioner thereby, la speaking of the matter he said: "in my estimation the greatest problem), srpafer than the tax preh) am or any orhy before the people of Kansas at this ttm. is the proper recusation and ror.trol of th railroads.. As I see jt. there is very little check on the railroads in the state at th. present time. The railroad law paasd years ago in many te-ipprts is a very rnod law, but. like all other laws, its eftdVieney depends largely imon the power behind it. The present members of the hea.r-1 of rail road commissioners are courteous, sbi gentlemen, who have probably de'rie a well as any beprd could under the circum stances, hut the manner of their seler-rioi dispaiaes their efforts before the pecie and realiy limits their power for good. The people, irrespective of party, have alsava favored their election by a direct vote 't the people, the same as other state nift cers, making them amenebie for their cen- iiirt to tne people, and to tne peooie alone. "The bji ag crigina !ly introduced bv me gave rr.h'oriiy represertatian.

TELEPHONE FOR $12 A TEAK. New Hiawatha Company Brings Old Corporation to Tima. Hiawatha, March 17. Several promin ent citizens here have organized a co operative telephone company in opposi tion to the Xnrtheaft Kanas Telephone company, claiming that telephone ser vice can be given much cheaper. The Northeast company has been In business here a number of years and has lines all over this and ad.ioinin-r counties. Hiawatha business men thought the rates too much for both residence and business phones, and as the old company would not reduce them, they prot together and organized a co operative company. The new company petitioned the city council for a fran chise under which it was agreed not to charere more than SI a month for either business or residence phones. The uie'.i lei giniii uie 1 1 etut. nisr. u;ion lor a new" franchise reducing the rate on residence phones to a month and granting the city special privi- lengf s This franchise has not yet been given, but the council seems in tavor of it. A city election will occur In only a short time, and the men of the new tele phone company threaten to make the tel ephone question an issue. Recently the old company put up two new poles for its lines in front of the residence of Sample Newton, attorney for the new company. Newton lives across tVie road from C. H. Jdunsell, manager of the old company, and Sunday ni:ht it is said Newton asked Munsell why he did not have the Doles put up in front 'It his own place They had words over the matter, and Monday the two poles in front of Newton's house were found sawed off and lying on the ground near by. C. P. Munsell stated an mvestiga tion would be made to ascertain who the culprit was. AN EMPOBIA CASE. Although Divorced, Decision Gives Her Dead Husband's Policy. Kmporia, Kas.. March 17. The suit over the $2,000 insurance policy of Stephen G. Conklin was decided in favor of his widow, Mrs. Cora Silver conklin. in the district court here. A rlecree of divorce had been granted between the rtartles February 11, lit)'-. Conklin shot and killed himself, after shooting his wife three times. March 27, 19U2, and his mother once. The term of court at which the decree of divorce was rendered did not adjourn until March 21. The court held that the decree elid not take effect and beccme absolute until six months from the date of its rendition and that therefore Mrs. Conklin was en titled to the colioy as it stood at the tune of Conklin's death. The burden of proof being on the side of the father of Conklin, he failed to show that Ptephsn had taken any definite steps which a court of equity coulel say was a change of beneficiary. The court helel that the only acts of Conklin to make a condi tional and partial delivery of the policy to his brother was by the attempted assassination of his wife and that as she had survived she deserved the insurance money. Attorneys for Charles Conklin. the father in the case, gave notice of an appeal to the supreme court. This is an old case and the outcome of one of the worst, tragedies that ever happened here. The decision is an im portant one. EUREKA USES WELL 'WATER. Abundance of Supply May Result in Sewer System. Eureka. March 17. The city water patrons are being supplied with water from wells recently sunk by the city near the pumping station. The water is pure and clean and much better and healthier than that heretofore furnished from Fall river. Two large wells supply the town with 4Z0 gallons a minute. Sewerage agitation in Eureka has pre viously been checked owing to the scar city of water during the summer months. It is thought these wells will meet the demands and a sewerage sys tem is probable for Eureka. The town has already been surveyed for laying mains and a majority of the councilmen favor the project.

Games have been arranged with Kan sas, one to be played at Lawrence and one at Columbia. A game has also been arranged with Haskell, which will be played at Lawrence.

The varsity team will play under the rules authorized for women by the American Association of Basketbail players, which are being adopted throughout the country. These rules were made with the idea of making the game more refined and skillful, rather than the playing of it as is done by men, where the clement of excitement and roughness enters too much in the sport. There is much interest and en thusiasm already being manifested among the women of the university as well as among the people of the town. NATIONAL LEAGUE BULLETIN.

T., March 17 Major Her man, of the International club of Fort Erie, has returned from Pittsburg, where he went to see Bob Fitzsimmons in regard to a match between the lanky boxer and "Philadelphia" Jack O'Brien at his club for the middleweight cham pionship of the world. Herman had a long talk with the Australian while in the Smoky City, and he received assur ances from the champion that he would meet O'Brien at Fort Erie, provided the club's offer was as good or better than any of the inducements which will be made when the boxers sign to meet. Herman's offer for the match is 110,000, and he said today that he was confident that this would eclipse any made by the other clubs. The Frisco organizations intend to make an effort to get the match, but it is understood that their offer will be made on a percentage basis of 75 and 23 per csnt. Herman learned from Fitzsimmons that the latter regards O'Brien as being the toughest of the aspirants for mid dleweight honors. The Australian said that he would rather tackle Tommy Ryan than the Philadelphia boy, but thar" he did not intend to sidestep the latter. He told the local man that as scon as O'Brien posted the remainder of his forteit money that he would lmmecu ately make arrangements to sign ar tides for the contest. As O'Brien will post his money with Al Smith today, it. is likely that the pair will sign articles this week. JENKINS FAILED To Throw Jack Hunroe Four Times Within an Hour. New- York, March 17. Jack Munroe, the miner-pugilist, won his wrestling bout with ex-Champion Jenkins at Madison Square garden before a good crowd. Jenkins agreed to throw the pugilist four times in an hour, catch-as-catch-can, but only succeeded in downing him three times in the 60 min utes. There was plenty of excitement, and Munroe made a favorable impression. Jenkins scored the first fall in 19:51, -the second in 20:03 and the third in 17:01. At the call of time the men sparred for a hold. Munroe's long reach aided him in keeping Jenkins at a distance. Jenkins secured a wrist hold, but Mun roe slipped away. A few minutes' sparring followed, when J nkins rushed his man to a clinch.. Munroe took a body hold and brought the champion rlown on all fours. Jenkins assumed the defensive and Munroe worked over his man in an effort to secure a half Nel son. Munroe secured a half Nelson, but Jenkins broke the hold without much difficulty and Monroe went to the mat, with Jenkins rn top. Jenkins tried for a head hold, which had all the appearance of a strangle, i and Munroe appealed to the referee. Munroe broke a number of holds till i Jenkins secured a half Nelson and slow j ly worked his man over. A fall seemed I inevitable, w hen suddenly Munroe made j a supreme effort and with a clever head spin manager to avoid going to the I mat. The effort seemed to weaken Mun roe. for in an instant Jenkins secured a similar hold and after several seconds worked out the miner's shoulders to the mat for the first fall. When the second bout began for five minutes the pair sparred around the mat for a hold. Jekins got an arm hold, fell to the mat, carrying the miner with him and almost scored a fall. Jenkins, however, was forced to relinquish his hold when: he attempted to loll his man over. Munroe secured a rjuarter Nelson on the champion, but Jenkins broke away. Several lively exchanges followed. Jen kins, after several attempts, secured a hammer lock that brought the miner riown on his shoulders for the second fall. The time was 20:03. The third bout was very rough, great ly to the delight of the crowd. Munroe strcive valiantly to avoid going down, but finally succumbed to a full Nelson. Only three minutes anel four seconds remained for the final bout, and the miner managed to hold off his opponent long enough to win. FITZ BARS NO ONE. Will Fight Any Man in the World at 158 Pounds. New York, March 17. Any of the middle weights who really want to tackle Bob Fitzsimmons at 158 pounels can be accommodated, according to a dispatch received here today, in which Lanky Bob says: "I have sent articles of agreement to AI Smith, at the Gilsey house, for O'Brien to sign. He challenged me and named the terms, and I accepted them. Now he must put up or shut up. "The same thing goes with Tommy Ryan. I will meet him at 158 pounds, Marquis of Qwensberry rules, or at 154 with bare knuckles. I will take on any body looking for a fight." Fitzsimmons is in Oil City, Pa., where the Jeffries show is playing, and it was from there that he wired his willingness to nght anybody at any sort of a propo sition and for any amount.

Kngwledgt at What It Beat More Im partAnt nan Wealth With at It. It must be apparent to every one that qualities of the highest order are neces sary to enable the best of the products of modern commerce to attain permanently to universal acceptance. However loudly heralded, they may not hope for world-wide preeminence unless they meet with the general approval, not of individuals only, but of the many who have the happy faculty of selecting, enjoying and learn ing the real worth of the choicest profl ucts. Their commendation, consequently, becomes important to others, since to meet the requirements of the well in formed of all countries the method of manufacture must be of the most per fect order and the combination the most excellent of its kind. The above is true not of food products only, but is espe cially applicable to medicinal agents and after nearly a quarter of a century of growth and general use the excellent remedy.- Syrup of Figs, is everywhere accepted, throughout the world, as the best of family laxatives. Its quality is due not only to the excellence of the combination of the laxative and carmin ative principles of plants known to act most beneficially on the system and pre sented in the form of a pleasant and re freshing liquid, but also to the method of manufacture of the California Fig Syrup Co.. which ensures that uniformi ty and purity essential in a remedy in tended for family use. Ask any physi cian who is well informed and he will answer at once that it i3 an excellent laxative. If at all eminent in his pro fession and has made a special study of laxatives and their, effects upon the sys tem he will tell you that it is the best of family laxatives, because it is sim ple and wholesome and cleanses and sweetens the system effectually, when a laxative is needed, without any un pleasant after-effects. Every well-informed druggist of reputable standing knows that Syrup of Figs is an excel lent laxative and is glad to sell it, at the regular price of fifty cents per bot tle, because it gives general satisfac tion, but one should remember that in order to get the beneficial effects of Syrup of Figs it is necessary to buy the genuine, which is sold in original pack ages only; the name of the remedy Syrup of Figs and also the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of every package. tively little change, particularly next to the rail. True Blue and Worthington were the only winning favorites. The Worthington race showed such re versal of form that the stew-ards ordered Jrx-key Phillips under suspension and re served the race for investigation.

Madden Says Filly Can Beat Either McChesney or Hermis. Louisville, Ky., March 17. John E. Madden, who is training his splendid string of horses at Churchill Downs, has made the statement that he knew of a 4-year-old which can beat either Her mis or McChesney doing anything from running races to eating oats. Hermis and McChesney, as all turf men know, are generally considered the champions of the east and west, respec tively, end no turfman of any promi nence or experience has heretofore dared to dispute the claims of their own ers and admirers. Mr. Madden, however, says that Gun fire, the Hon. William C. Whitney's filly, is by long odds the greatest race horse in the world. "Mr. L. Vr. Bell, the owner of Hermi?, is a warm personal friend of mine," said Mr. Madden yesterday, "and I have never seen McChesney, and, of course, cannot criticise him for that reason, but I will go on record as saying that I con., sider Gunfire the superior of any living thoroUKhbred, and that must include both Hermis and McChesney." A statement like this, coming from a man of Mr. Aladden's experience and standing on the turf, is sure to create commotion in horse circles. Mr. Maddcn's opinion of Gunfire is in fluenced somewhat by that filly's splen did race when, on Monday, September 1, of last year, she won the Twin City handicap at Coney Isand. running the mile and a quarter in 2:05 1-5. beating Blues, Hj-phen, Whisky King.

Tonight in the arena of the Missouri Athletic club at Vineyard's hall Benny Yanger, the only undefeated American feather weight, and "Kid" Abel, the slashing young Chicago, boxer, are slated to box ten rounds. While the articles of agree ment call for thirty minutes of fighting it is hardly likely the bout will go the limit, as both boys are inclined to mix in fact, they never rest. Both tear in and slash, and a knockout is likely to be landed at any stage of the game. Both are strictly aggressive fighters, and there should be very little loafing as long as the bout lasts. Baseball N otes. Frank Hahn is the only southpaw the Cincinnati club wiil start the season with. The National league park is the larger and has the greater capacity of the two grounds in St. Bouis. Manager Arthur Irwin of Rochester has signed Shortstop Frank McQuade of the Manhattan college team. Clarke Griffith says one of the hardest propositions for a manager to solve is as to the best man to lead off at the bat. Third Baseman Harry Steinfeldt of the Cineinnatis has become a partner in the largest clothing house in El Paso, Tex. Fred Clarke is gunning for a good out fielder for the Pirates. That means that Hans Wagner will have to cover short field. St. Louis has agreed to transfer Brashear to the Philadelphia Nationals. This means that veteran Billy Haliman will do bench duty or be given his walking papers. Buck Freeman continues to keep up his athletic training in the Y. M. C. A. gym nasium at Wiikesbarre and is of course in the pink of condition. Manager McAleer thinks the foul-strike rule will help his team more than uny other, because he claims to have more real hitters on bis team than any other Ameri can club. We shall see. "I look for a new heavy hitter this sea son to top the present star batsmen." says Jimmy McAleer. "I don't think that Deie hanty. Burkett. Bajoie or Keeler will tin ish at the top." Pray, who is he? Two days before the championship opens the National league umpires will hold a meeting with President Puiiiam, and each rule will be gone over so as to come to a uniform interpretation.

The public in general at Needles did not fancy the idea of the Japanese tak ing the places of the red men. and therefore their sympathy was with the men w ho had spent all their life in and about Needles, even though they were Indians.

The dog poisoning fiend who has been operating in Atchison for some time lias poisoned Lucy, and if his identity becomes known there w ill be a collision. If you have never heard of Lucy, you do not know any railroad men. Ten years ago. when Lucy was a pup, she dead-headed in on a North Solomon grain car. It was very hot. and she was almost mad from thirst when a baa order man heard her cries, and took the risk of breaking the seal, doing to her rescue, he took her out and gave h r a drink, and cooled her off in a bucket of water. Lucy was neither a greynound nor- a bird dog. and being of an unde sirable sex, some unpi inci pled person desiring to get rid of her had put hr In a car to. die from hunger and thirst, instead of ending1 her miseries at one blow. From that time until her death, Lucy was a familiar figure in the rail road yards. She lunched with the rail road men, taking the scraps they threw her. She was square, and, although a row of lunches was always in the tele graph office to tempt her. she never touched them. She distributed her af fections fairly, and every day made a trip through the yards and shops, pass ing the time of day. and seeing how everybody was getting along. If she found a new man at work, she smelled him carefully, and thereafter he was on her visiting list. Lucy did not know any wonderful tricks: she felt grateful to railroad nren and spent her time wagging her tail and promoting good nature. Perhaps her existence was not without its good works. You hear it said that railroad men are rough. Lucy lived ten years in the railroad yards, and never received a cuff, or a kick, or even a cross word, and the railroad men would pound the man into a jelly who poisoned her. if they could find him. Atchison Globe. NEW PLACE POR RICE. Probable Changes in Santa Fe Store house Department. A new office has just been created in the Santa Fe storehouse department, on the Coast lines, says the San Bernar dino Sun. and there is good reason to j believe that X. M. Rice, assistant gen i eral storekeeper, w ith headquarters in A lbiKiuerque. has been tendered the i position. It is known that a new store keeper has been appointed for the Al buquerque department, in the person of O. W. Youngquist, and it is the fact i that Mr. Rice has been superseded. w hieh leads to the supposition tiiat he I jhas been given a higher trust. Mr. Youngquist has just come out from the Lake Shore road to accept the store keepership. and is now taking a run over the Coat lines in company with i Mr. Rice. j Roth gentlemen were in this city j yesterday, but when interviewed by a j Sun man, positively refused to talk re garding the story. "There is no use i in questioning,' retorted Mr. Rice in j his good-humored way, as the reporter 'started to ply his craft. "We haven't a word to say one way or the other. We are just out on a little jaunt, and that's !all 1 can tell you." The position to which report has it Mr. Rice has: been appointed, is one of three on the Santa Fe system, one i for each of the grand divisions. Faeh will be over the several division slore keepers and the trio wall, in turn, be under on" chief w hose headquar ters will be, as is now- the case, in Topeka. TO REMAIN HERE. Keport of Removal of Santa Fe Chief Dispatcher's Office 19 Untrue. The following report from Kmpnria caused inquiries to be made yester d a y at the office of the general superintend ent of the Santa Fe: "The Santa Fe has made a new ruling in n gard to train crews on througri runs. Instead of running the crews through from Kansas City to Newton thv are changed her3.

This is a logical move, because of the fat. t that the chlf dispatcher's ofiice is soon to come here from Topeka, and will probably be continued." It was at first thought that this might be th berinninsr of the removal of the division offices to Emporia, as reported a short time 9 so. but according to th-? stn temcnt given out at thp S;t nta Ft cili-. es yesterday ther is nor hi ng in t he report at all. It is positively denied that the chief dispn toner's office is to be moved to Emporia. IS NOT TRUE. George R. Henderson Denies Report I of His Resignation. The following is from Pan r.ernardino: "7t is rumored that Superintendent of Motive Powr Henderson, of Topeka. has tendered his resicnatiein." i According to the replies to inquiries I made here there is nothing whatever in j the rumor. Mr. Henderson was s"en j yostorday, and when ask"d about the jtnHtter he denied it positiveiv. "There Ms nothing at all in the report." said Mr. I Henderse-n.

Vice President Paul Morton of the Santa Fe. who is at present sojourning in Southtrn California, has many nice things to say about this section, says the San Bernardino Sun. Among other things he remarks: "I believe that there are more per sons in California this winter than ever before. As a general thing it is a bet ter class of folks than ever. I think the persons who have come here are better satisfied with California. One peculiar ity is that the travel to California this winter is largely represented by the ver y wealthy persons from the far east ern states; persons who generally go to the south of France, to Kgypt and sim ilar foreign resorts. "There are many people who would come here every summer if they reaily knew hew- delightful the climate is upon this coast. I hope that the California papers will do their share in bringing the tourists here'. "There is another matter I wish to refer to. All the new hotels are tilled and are doing well. There is no reason why capita! should hesitate to invest in additional hotel facilities. First class houses conducted in first class manner j wiil make money. New hostelries are needed in San Diego, San Bernardino, i Redlands and other cities in southern California." THAT NEW HOSPITAL. Proposition of Location Is Again Presented to A. O. Wells.

Its ravages are not so alarming as diphtheria, or so much dreaded as smallpox, but its number ot victims are greater than either. Silently insidiously it gathers in its fearful harvest of precious lives. It does not spread from man to man like contagious disease, nor does it belong to limited localities like malaria. It is in the air everywhere. It is of climatic origin. No man can escape from it, no woman is safa fiom it. THE "BIOGRAPHICAL HUG." New Fad in Which" a Nice Young Man Takes Much Interest.

The symptoms and characteristics which differentiate th biographical bug from all the other bugs in tne Dtizzing realm of bugdom are not uninteresting.

"Looking at the thing now, takine a broad view of the perspective, the little amusements which crowded into my life in the erstwhile to thrill me momentar ily with a spasm of delight seem dull omeeu in ceimparison with tne newer sensations of the biographical bug.

I now have a col I lection of clippings, some serious, some j funny, some in the form of narratives, while others are anecdotal, even coml cal, that w ill make some of the bi- graphical encycloperias look like the old I blue-back speller. "Where does the fun come in? Just SHE ESCAPED THE KNIFE. Ten Months of Peace After Dreadful Suffering. Operations are becoming a fad: every young man, as soon as he is graduated from a medical college, considers him self capable of undertaking the most serious and complicated surgical work, and hundreds of lives are sacrificed an nually to this mad frenzy of ineompe te.rit men, to rush into work which should only be undertaken as a last re sort, and then only by the most experi enced and careful surgeons. It is a pleasure, in view of these facts, to read the following letter from a wo man who has been saved from one of these dangerous operations: "I know I should have informed you long ago re garding my case of piles and the good done me. and I believe I am cured. Last December I sent for your book. I have never been bothered since then, and before I had suffered for the last eleven years, and at. the time I wrote I had given birth to a child, and they came down with the delivery of the child by the handful. I could not get them back and I suffered everything; and the doc tor said nothing but an operation would ever relieve me; but I read of your rem edy in our daily newspaper and I told my husband to get me a box and I would give it a ttial before consenting to the knife, and thanks be to your won derful medicine, I was saved from the operating table. "Every person suffering from piles that mv husbanel and myself hear of. we reoommena your wonaeriut meeii cine.

If they ever show the slight est return I will certainly get some more medicine, but I hardly think I will need any more for it will be a year the 8th day of December since I had them and that makes it ten months and past now.

General All Over the United "IIEDICAL TALK" Says: Speaking of remedies for la grippe, the editor of Medical Talk, one of the popular medical journals of the present time, says: "Whatever may be said against proprietary med icines In a general way, the fact remains that there ara more people who rely upon Peruna as a remedy for la grippe than use all other remedies combined. No other remedy is so widely used and implicitly believed In as a remedy for la grippe as Peruna. There Is no way to account for this fact except that Peruna is what the people believe it to be a spe cific for la grippe." LaGrippa Is Epidemic Catarrh. La grippe is acute catarrh excited by peculiar climatic conditions. It sweeps across a continent in a single week, like the blizzard of winter or the hot wave of summer. It does not depopulate whole villages like the black plague, nor desolate a home like malignant diph theria, but it counts Its single victims here and there incessantly, night and day, week after week. Since 1850 Dr. Eartman Has passed through four or' five epi demics of la grippe. During all this time he has conducted an extensive piactice of medicine. Few (if any) phy sicians prescribe for so many patients. Hfs experience in climatic diseases has been simply prodigious. Thousands of patients are continually under his directions, either personally or by correspondence. The Doctor's fame m treating lagrippe is known from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The Doctor believes that he has never yet lost a case of la erippe, and is en thusiastic in the conviction that he never will. Dr. Hartman's Remedy.

On one occasion he gave a reception to the students of the freshman class. Lemon ade was served during the evening, and when the maiel an innocent creature fresh from Ireland handed the tray to her master he put out his hand to it, and then, forgetting what he was about to do. he let his fingers pliy aimlessly fer several minutes among the glasses while he talkerl warmly upon some subject that much interested him.

The influence which the west is exerting- on the nation's finances is set forth by Henry Clews in the latest issue of The Financial Review as follows: "The ucst is rapidly training in its power over the riiuncy market, and this year its r Miliar requirements are unusually h-cavy owinir to the large volume of busin.-ss.

THE TARIFF A TAX. Tiiat the "Washing-ton Post believes tie tariff to be a tax is evidenced by th" following editorial comment upon the action of the senate committee on the Cuban reciprocity treaty. Immed iately fallowing- the report of the com-Tc.iit- the Post said: "T.he Cuban reeiprooiiy treaty was i -peiied favorably yesterday by the 5- naie committee on foreign relations. It v. as not, however, reported in its original form, but with an amendment requiring the conctll rence of the bouse cf i -i -pre a-naitives. The senate, in a word, has recognized the constitutional prerogative of the house to pronounce, upon all measures affecting the pub lic revenue. "The I'ost has advocated this prin ciple f many years.- We have always Insisted that the language of the con Ft't rioe, Ia unmistakable, and that no law relating, either directly or indirect ly, t taxation can be valid without formal ratification by the popular body. 1 Post, therefore, js both gratified had el, .ted by this definite recognition f t'rv principle it has so long and so 5-iisis!.-n;!y advocated.

"We are not at all surprised by the a-tion taken yesterday." LETTUCE BETTER THAN VAC CINATION. "Medical Talk" prints the following which Is given for what it is worth. Whether it be a prophylactic or not the h mi. e can scarcely do any barm: Lettuce is a". a!e-olute preventive of niuiipox. No on.- is in the least particle of car.' r of catching smallpox who eats a hi'le i.-ttuce every day. Smaopox belongs to the scorbutic ci-.ss of diseases. Sailors, at sea, du- t ived of fresh vegetables get scurvy. Sciiivy is a. typical scorbutic ilis-ens-- Smallpox is another. Smallpox always r.-ii- .s din ing the v. inter season when tt-c poor people are deprived of fresh v getable foods. C. I- i y and onions are good for tlrs parpose, but there is such a long inter val liUno-n thf ir being gathered and beim? eaten that they lose most of their a nth -scorbutic properties. Lettuce is suved shortly alter it is picked and hence contains the valuable properties v. lii.-h will prevent smallpox. We say without the least hesitation or restive that iettuce v. ill prevent small pox. It is a thousand times better than v tit ireition. It has no liabilities j:., vaccination, to produce other diseases. We are wiilins to stake our professional reputation on the broad statement that cy une who eats lettuce -daily will not catch smallpox, whether he be vaccina ted or not. We hope that every reader who has confidence in our statement will pass this alone. We wish every person to know that they have within reach a safe and reliable remedy. The hot-houses where lettuce is raised in the winter time are so numerous that lettuce is placed within the reach of all. No one need be deprived of lettuce simply be cause it is winter. Ten years ago it was impossible for the masses of the people to get lettuce during- the winter months. Now it i3 not only possible but very easy indeed. Lettuce is an absolute spee-ific as a preventive cf smallpox. All fear of smallpox may vanish when this simple precaution is taken. Should this rem edy seem to fail in any case, we would be glad to be notified. There has never been a failure up to date and we are anxious to know if one should occur. We have absolute confidence in lettuce as a preventive of disease and do not hesi tate to assure any one that there is no danger of acquiring smallpox so long as the system is fortified against it by this natural and potent preventive.

EDITORIAL COMMENT. The President's Stand. Pittsburg Dispatch: The action of the president in con vening a special session of the senate for the day after the adjournment of this congress shows that he is deter mined not to accept without a protest the stifling of the important measures that his administration has asked for. The special session will force the senate to action, on the Cuban and Panama canal treaties. A- more positive insist ence on the needs of the situation would have been made by calling both houses for the special session. If the senate permits the Philippine bill to fail in this congress the special session cannot re vive It. There is a question, too, whether the Cuban treaty will not need legislation by both branches of con gress to make it effective. All that the senate can do in this session is to act on executive business, which in this case means the confirmation or rejec tion of the two treaties. Nevertheless, it is a matter for congratulation that the senate is not to be permitted by the farcical ruses of the closing session to dodge its plain duty on those two meas ures. It must now- come out in the open, vote squarely upon them and be judged according to its action. As to the Isle of Pines. Pittsburg Dispatch: It is satisfactory to note that among the closing transactions of congress the war department made a clear and busi nesslike statement of the status of the Isle of Pines and the American resi dents there. The Isle of Pines was turned over to the Cuban government by General Wood with the rest of Cuba, and all its inhabitants are under the jurisdiction of Cuba. The communica tion conspicuously abstainerl from any expression of intention to disturb that sta tus. That i as it should be. The only difference between the Isle of Pines and some twelve hundred other islands bor dering Cuba. and universally recog nized as belonging to it. was that the Isle of Pines was the largest of the lot. It was entirely an afterthought to twist the language conveying to the United States the islands similarly belonging to Puerto Rico so as to cover this isiand. to please some persons who thought they saw something there worth grabbing. Secretary Pout's letter states the law of the present situation; and the morals of the case are entirely on the side of leaving the situation un disturbed. Roosevelt Is Invincibl Bufralo News. Washing-ton dispatches relate that in the capital it is a subject of speculation as to who may be trotted out as a com petitor of the president for the Repub lican nomination next year. Some ques tion is raised as to the attitude of the delegates from the southern stales, most of w horn have been colored, for many years, and it is regarded as possible to carry that vote to some other man than S Col. Roosevelt. Again it is the talk that certain west i orn statesmen are seriously considering I the wisdom of going Into the race in order to tret into line for 1t'0S if they do not reach the ticket next year. Such stories, and many more, may be dis missed from consideration. The people of the country have taken this matter out of the hands of the politicians and arc not waitins to see what any leader, or any coterie, or set of men, large or small, thinks about this business. The great mass of the people are fond of the president, admire hlrn. respect him and trust him. Kvery clay makes him stronger with the controlling forces of Ibe nation and renders it less possi ble to make a combination within his party to retire him or to make a ticket in opposition that hits a ghost of a chance of winning. It is just as inevita ble that the president shall be the leader of bis party In li04 as it was lh.it Mr. MoKinley should be renominated in lDO. Col. Itoosevelt is making his unanswer able argument for continuance in power by the cl"an. vigorous and marvelously 'intelligent administration lie is giving the country. It is undeniable that the nation has come to a consciousness of ite real strength as never before and that the president matches fully the dominant Ideas of the hour. Not all of the ener gies of the people are devoted to ma teiial thinss but on the contrary there litis never been felt so keen a setisr of nationality in every corner and sectioti of the Union a today, and no man rep- resents better than Col. Roosevelt the best traditions and the loftiest ideal-. of country. His ntimination is beyond the pale of discussion. Honest, Efficient City Government. Boston Journal: I'resident Dolan of the common coun cil assured the Boston Pep-iil Goe"- asseciatinn. at its annual banquet, that the criticism to which the city M'Vc. .t ment has-been subjected is due to two causes, first an inflammatory state of the public mind, and second, deceptive newspaper artie'Ies. Out of a somewhat extended experi ence in newspaper life we can recall no instance of unpleasant disclosures re- garding public men or public affairs, the blame of which was not cast upon the newspapers, by the parties most concerned. "If only the newspapers would keep still" how familiar that plaint is, and from how many persons just at the critical moment of being found out has it come. If President Dolan deprecates asper sions upon the common council as a body, without discrimination between the fit and the unfit, so do we. Nothing is gained by exaggeration; on the con trary, much mischief may be done. But, on the other hand, nothing is gained by suppressing the real facts in the case. It is nfftural that Mr. Dolan should think well of the men with whom he is .in constant association, and who have elected him to preside over them. Put even he would scarcely deny that there are members of that body who do it no credit, and who do not hesitate system atically and with set purpose to use their official positions for their personal pro tit. Our advice to President Dolan is not to expose himself to misunderstanding by excited talk about the inflammatory state of the public mind or about decep tive articles in the newspapers. He has a high estimate of the character of the pi esent common council, but presum ably he does not think that it is so good that it might not be made better. That, as we understand it, is one of the chief purposes of the so-calied reform move ment, at which Mr. Dolan is inclined to look askance. What the Boston chamber of com merce, the bar association, the mer chants' association and the other bodies of good citizens represented in this movement want is "an honest and effi cient city government." That surely Is a good object: and in the efforts neces sarv to obtain it. only the rascals will get" hurt. About their fate President Dolan will not concern himself. JAYHAWKER JOTS.

It makes a thoughtful man feel pretty bad to think that if he had ail the mon- ey he has spent for drinks in his life he could afford to smoke imported cigars. A man who can't think up a new way once a week to make a woman believe he loves her just as much as the day he married her is a failure as a husband. A man is so appreeiati ve of his vir tues that when he is economizins and buys a two-for-a-quarter cigar instead of a 15-cent straight he regards himself as a hero. It's the man who kicks like blazes against his wife paying 12 a month more to gret a good maid that calls anybody pretty mean who doesn't tin the waiter where he gets his lunch a quarter a day. There will be some way of under standing women when some one can ex plain how a woman will think a matinee hero is like a god, and yet have her blood run cold at the thought of her son being like him.

Inquiries are still coming in to the attorney general's department regarding the election of justices of the peace at the coming city elections.

The biennal election amentl ment to the constitution adooted last fall provides that all to-vashio officers shall -be elected only once in two years and those now in cfrlee hall hold over until the general election of 1904. The supremo court has. held that justices in cities are township ofbce'va th-; same as though elected for a towr.sfiir), although they have heretofore been elected at the spring city elections. The present justices in cities will therefore remain in otfiee until January, 1905. A. B. Srhaeffev, of Valley Falls, is a candidate for assistant reporter of the supreme court, and he is in Topeka to day looking after his candid-icy. The place is filled by the justices of the supreme court.

OR HOOKEY BOYS How the New State Truant Law Operates. Provides for Officers to Enforce the Provisions. FEWER EXAMINATIONS. The One Usually Held in April Abolished. Supt. Dajhoff Talks About the Changes. The new teachers' certificate law, which created the professional grade, does away with the April teachers' ex aminations, so that teachers who have been depending upon securing certifi cates this spring wiJI have to postpone taking the examination until summer. "There was no use in giving an April examination," said Superintendent Day hoff today, "and it worked against the summer institutes. Teachers would take the April examination and if they se cured a certificate they would not at tend the institute and get the training out of it which they probably needed. For this reason the April examination was abolished. The law goes into effect upon publication in the official state pa per, so there will be no examination the coming month." Superintendent Dayhoff will publish in the near future a pamphlet explain ing the new educational law en acted by the recent legislature, especial ly the truancy law, which Superintend ent Dayhoff regards as a very inqiort ant piece of legislation. About 35,000 copies of the pamphlet will be distrib uted throughout the state. It will con tain the truancy and professional cer tificate laws in full, as well as a synop sis of all other educational laws, and will try to answer all sorts of questions about them. It is aimed to publish an edition sufficient to place one in the hands of each school officer in the state so as to thoroughly familiarize them with the new laws. The truancy law will not really be- cetme effective until the schools opex-. I next September. It goes into effect cn its publication in the statute book, but I the schools will rractically be over by that time until next fall. The truancy law as, it finally r.asse.1 piovieles that the beiards cf education in cities with more than 10,000 nopulation and all county superintendents: may ap point truant officers. In counties the county may be divided into from one to five districts as may be necessary, and each shall have a truant officer. These truant officers are to receive two dol lars a day for the time actually em. ployed, and their bills have to be ap proved by the board of education ii. cities and by the county commissioners outside of cities. It is made the duty of teachers to notify the county super intendent each mejnth of children" who are habitually truants or who are ab sent from school when they should be in school. This does not include children who are kept out a few days now ana then to help their parents, but children who run the streets when they should be in school. Such eases are reported to the trur-nt officer who looks them up and sees that they go to school. If the children themselves are incorrigible they are dealt with according to the laws already on the statute books. If j their parents persist in keeping them out of school w ithout good and suffl j cient cause, the parents mav be fined from S3 to $25 in a justice court. "I believe this is a very beneficial law," said Superintendent Dayhoff to day. "It will get after a class of chil dren from which our crimir. ii class is recruited. I believe it is cheaper to the state to save a child from becoming a' criminal than to take care of him anil punish him after he has become a crim i inal. This law will more tha.i pay for itself in a few years in the saving of the expense of criminal prosecutions, be 1 rides saving to society children who will grow up into good citizens instead of .1...) c: onlnais. Whew I was in Cincin i.ati some time ago I talked with Cora missioner Bonebrake of the Ohio schools, on the operation of the truancy law there, lie said it is very popular, so much so that if a man were to run for office on the platform of repealing the truancy law he would not be in the race at all. "I want our people to thoroughly un derstand the law before if goes into ef fect, and lor that reason I will get out these pamphlets explaining it." Other educational legislation just en acted is the law allowing manual train ing in district schools; the law creating the manual training school at Pittsburg as an auxiliary of the State Normal"; the law allowing county superintend ents to indorse first grade certificates from any other county in the state5, or second and third grade certificates from adjoining counties; the law taking away the power of the annual school meetings to decide whether the teacher shall be male or female: and the law providing for refunding the bonded In debtedness of merged school districts. All of these wiil be explained in the pamphlet. WAS HOSSE1" HERE J Topeka Negroes Think They Knsw Philadelphia Herb Doctor. Several prominent negroes of Topeka are of the opinion that George Hossey, the negro "herb doctor" who is accusetl of poisoning in Philaelelphia is no other than "Dr." William Carter, who recent ly practiced among the negroes of this city. Whetheror not Hosseyand Carter are the same person could easily be r! isroverecl, as Carter was seen in To peka less than a month ago, and if the Philadelphia poisoner has been known there longer than that, he is out of it. No reason is given for the suspicion other than that they consid ered Carter a dealer in dark deeds, and be was looked upon with suspicion by members of his race. At a recent iJ.ate, they say. Carter "doctored" a man from Oklahoma who hael been woundeel in the leg, and succeeded in muking the wound so much worse that it didn't get well. They seem to think that Hossey's description fits Carter pretty 'well, and that the latter was not above administering poison at $100 per case. Degree for French Ambassador. Chicago, March 17.

The County Commissioners Have Many Requests. The county commissioners have re quests enough for macadam roads in the country to start a good roads re vival this year. The pavement on the Wrest Sixth avenue road is nearing completion and will be ready for travel by the middle of April. The four blocks, between the end of the city paving and the begin ning of the mac-adam road near the Hartsock farm, will be paved. The legislature appropriated $800 toward it. the county has appropriated $800 and the citv will pay $S00. The four blocks will cost between $2,000 and $2,400. When this is completed the Sixth ave nue road will be one of the pleasantest thoroughfares in the country and will be paved a mile and a half west cf the city limits, to the road running north and south which will be the approach to the bridge across the Kansas river at the brick plant. The paving on the Sixth avenue road will be 20 feet wide. The country roads built bv the county have been 16 feet wide but with the Sixth avenue road the commissioners agreed to 17 feet and the property owners raised the fund for the other three feet. A petition is- now being circulated among the property owners for a ma cadam road from the Tenth avenue road west of town north across the brick yards bridge to Silver Lake. This would cross the Sixth avenue road pav ing at the western terminus. The com missioners expect that the Burlingame road, south of town, will be the next principal country highway to be paved. A petition is also being circulated for the paving of the East Eighth avenue road from the city paving to Deer creek. FRANCIS' TRFp. President of World's Fair Ke ceived Much Encouragement. New York, March 17. David R. Fran cis, of the Louisiana Purchase exposi tion, who returned from Europe today, in an interview sail: "I have made a hasty trip of four weeks, and feel that I have been suc cesful in my mission. I visited England and was granted a personal audience by King FJdwaru, who expressed great interest in the fir and voluntarily of fered all of the jewels and ornaments of Queen Victoria's jubilee for exhibition Lord Lansdowne also assured me that England would be represented and would put up a special building. I went to France and saw President Loubet and was very cordially received. I was the guest at a dinner of 000 plates at which were present representatives of many French industries expecting to have exhibits at the fair. I was very cordially entertained by the ministers of the verious departments and altogether am very much pleased with the success of my mission there. I then went to Madrid. Spain is taking hold of the project enthusiastically, and I have been assured by the ministers of agri culture and other departments that they would give every assistance. I left Madrid and went to Germany and was granted a personal audience with Em. pieror William, who assured me that Germany would be well represented. He. also said that he would send some of his own plate and other interesting ex hibits. The German officials gave me cordial assurances of Germany's inten tion to place a good exhibit. I went to Belgium last, and was received by King Leopold, who also assured me of the in tention of Belgium to be represented. He said he would be pleased to visit tht fair, but feared his duties and advisers would prevent. Emperor William aiso said he would like to attend, but of course it would be too far to go from home. In France I was given a num ber of presents and little mementos." N E W BALLOT BOXES. Many Will Be Required in Coming Election. Here is more grief for Election Com- missioner T. S. Williams. Having al 1 ready purchased forty-two new ballot boxes, he will have to buy twenty-one more boxes for the April 7 election, and j will probably be obliged to hire another lot of clerks and judges to take charge I of the complicated system of bookkeep i ing which is required under the new city election laws adopted by the last 1 legislature. I There will have to be six ballot boxes i and three sets of poll books at each voting place. One .set of poll books and two ballot boxes, male anil female, are required for the general election of city officers. I A second set of poll books and two more ballot boxes are required for the school bond proposition. A third set of poll books and two more ballot boxes are necessary for the waterworks bond proposition. The law reeiuires that each bond proposition must be submitted on a separate ballot. It requires that the male and female ballots be kept sepa rate. In order that it may be ascertained whether the bond propositions received a majority of the total votes cast, the city attorney holds that separate poll books must be kept on each proposition. It seems to be still in doubt whether one judge can act for all three ballot boxes, or whether there will have to be two clerks and a judge in charge of each box. WHAT TO HEAD.

Northern and foreign cap ital is rapidly invading that section, finding prof itable investment in the various Industries and factories that are being rapidly developed and built. The great influx of settlers is creating an In creased demand for lands of all kinds and prices are gradually advancing, as they will for years to come. VTork is plentiful and poverty practically unknown. Alabama is supplying coal and iron to all the world. More money can be made and with less labor in the raising of small fruits and berries and in truck patching on the Guif Coast than in any other state in the Union. Straw berries from Alabama reach northern markets before those from the states in the southeast. Cattle can be raised with great profit, there being millions of acres of cheap range lands.

DIYOHCE II ASA DEFENDER. Marriage Needs Regulation Koro Than the Dissolution of the Tie. There is a general demand throughout the United States for the enactment of more stringent divorce laws. A recent writer in an eastern magazine, howe ver, presents some reasons lor regardire di vorce as the only prae-ticable way cut of an unfortunate situation in man cases and points out what h considers to be the true solution of the matrimon ial problem. He says: "We are told that the institution of di-vore-e separates husbands and wives and breaks up homes. Nothing e-ouM be fur ther from the truth. Divorce never sep arates, just as the marriage reremoiv never unites. Each is but the symbol, the sign, which sets its seal upon that which took place before. If the husband and wife find that they have made n mistake and that the lives of both are made wretched by the mutual eeimpari ionship it is their .duty to separate and obtain freedom by legal process. "It is a mistake, a perversion of the truth to make the statement that homes are being wrecked in this way. No home that is a home indeeel has been broken by divorce, and none will be, for this le gal step is but the closing seene of th5 last act in a domestic tragedy. It is a e-rime to rear children in a home life where father and mother are mutually abhorrent, where love dwells not. wher the contact of parents serves to brim? out all the innate evil of their nnur-j instead of being an inspiration cf vir tue. "The rational, reasonable way to mini mize divorce is to place barriers against easy matrimony and make marriage a bulwark of sincere and hely purpos against which the waves of youthful impetuosity and unripe affection will dash in vain. The greatest social evil in our country is the marrying habit. There is practically no check on mar riage, and young people wed at will an J at times in haste, with an angry parent in pursuit. Even those below lawful age find little difficulty in settine the pro tection of law and are nronoune-ed mar ried." Chicago Chronicle.

By the use of this remedy disordered digestion and diseased stomachs are so completely restored to heahh, and the full performance of their functions naturally, that such foods as would tie one into a double-bow-knot are eaten without even a "rumbling" and with a posi tive pleasure and enjoyment. And what is more these foods are assimilated and transformed into the kind of nutriment that is appropriated by the blood and tissues. Kodol is the oniy digestant or combination of digsstants that will digesi all classes of food. In addition to this fact, it contains, in assimilative form, the greatest known tonic and reconstructive properties. Kodol cures indigestion, dyspepsia anu all disorders arising therefrom.

HE'S Fit 031 MISSOURI. Legislator from This State 'Want! Lords and Noblemen Branded. A Missouri legislator has introduced a resolution in the senate of that state, providing that all foreign noblemen and lords found running- at large shall be branded for purposes of identifica tion. It is hard to understand why some people are so prejudiced aeainst for efiirn noblemen. There are individuals who carry their dislike to such an ex tent that they will run three blocks, knocking men, women and children out of the way, in order to paze upon a duke or an earl. t There are others who wiil angrri'y take out their purses and pay three ig noble dollars (twelve shillings) for the opportunity to pep a bankrupt lord try to act on the stage. There are still others who will stand in line at the theater so that they may get a seat from which to witness the caperings of the divorced wife of a foreign grandee. O, it is fierce, the extent to which this national dislike and detestation of belt ed earls, and unbelted, and ought to be belted noblemen is carried! Many sturdy sons of America ar? still nursing rheumatism contracted when they stood in the rain to se Prince Henry ride past. mey simply had such a great aversion to royalty that they wasted a whole day in the hope that they might have a glimpse of him. The Missouri law might be bettered if it had an amendment providing for the branding of people who make alliy fools of themselves by pestering these, peaceful scions of nobility with their curioFity. Or mavbe it Is intended that the Mi ssouri father who is asked for ht daughter's hand shall have th oppor tunity to make use of that historic ex pression: "I'm from Missouri, and you'll bar to show ma."

Prominent Demo crats from all parts of the country gathered here to attend the banquet of the Iropuois club at the Auditorium hotel. Preceding the banquet, many notables in the party held long talks to gether, discussing suggestions for the political campaign of next year. The speakers at the banquet made strong pleas for a unified party and the adoption of a platform that would meet general approval. Mayor Carter H. Harrison was the first speaker. After welcoming- the visitors to the city, he responded to the toast,-"The City of Chicago." He was followed by Edward M. Shep ard of New York, who spoke on "Pres ent Duties of a Patriotic Opposition." "Jackson and the Renewal of the Bank Charter," was the topic chosen by Judge Judson Harmon of Cincinnati, at torney general under the second Cleve land administration. In responding to the toast, "Looking to 1904," Congressman David A. DeAr monii of Missouri aroused the 300 ban queters to a high pitch of enthusiasm. Congressman DeArmond spoke in part as follows: TRUSTS THE COMING ISSUE. With the recent history of the partv written as the great host of its mem bers wished it to be written, let us like sensible men and Democrats address ourselves to the issues now up ana coming up for consideration; let those who agree upon them work in peace auu witn tne utmost zeal and energy, to the end that we may win. Democracy must have departed from the man in deed, it never could have been in the man who as a Democrat cannot now prepare to do his best, in the party har ness, m tne great campaign so soon to open. The trust question is big in the pub lic mind, and there it will, probably, be bigger yet when the lines are draw-n and the next battle is fought for the presidency and the control of the lower i house of congress. The Republican party has not dealt honestly with the j trust problem; it cannot deal honestly i w ith it. for it is under trust control. I t has refused to do anything that would j promise reasonable relief from trust i exactions and tyranny. The Demo- party must grapple with the trusts, must break their hold upon j honest men and their stifling of honest i business: must restore to labor the I fruits of Its toil, and to individual en terprise the rewards of its honest achievements. Who that has Demo icratie blood in his veins or Democratic principles in his soul can halt or hesi- tate when the party summons him to j this contest? Associated with the trust Issue is the I old but ever living tariff question. Why IV MCH ft?!! Topeka Contractors Will Busy This Season. Be Number of Residences Are Already Contracted For. YVOUK IS ALREADY O.N. Several New Houses Now Being Erected in Orchard Place. Business Houses to Be Rebuilt and Kemodeied. This year's building in Topeka is to be principally residence construction but of its kind there is promise of being an abundance. Already the rip saw and hammer are active and the end of the present building season will see comple ted 20 or 30 of Topeka's best dwelling houses, scattered from the Orchard Place addition to Potwin. The more ex pensive buildings will include a $15,000 addition to Ingleside and a $10,000 house on Buchanan street to be put up by C W. Merriam, the new member of the Merriaiu Mortgage company, with a. possibility of the construction of a fed erated clubs' building to cost somewhere in the neighborhood of $25,000. Plans are complete for the interior re modeling of the three story Manspeaker building at 70S Kansas avenue but the estimate of cost for the work has not been concluded. The two upper floors of the building are to be completed for modern office rooms with the accom panying conveniences. No change will be made in the exterior of the building. Architect L. M. Wood has designed the interior arrangement and the work on the building will be done during the lat ter part of the present spring. Thi-s year's building plans do not seem to include many improvements for the business part of town, including the re modeling of the Bank of Topeka build ing. The residence building is fully as active as it has been at any time during the past four or five years. Just at this time Orchard Place ad dition is filling up more rapidly than any other one locality. The boom that that tract of land has been given by its owners as a residence property is un questionably paying, and paying well. Work is being done upon several houses on Harrison street and Topeka avenue, and plans for a dozen more arc made and the contracts let. Within a year Orchard Place will be closely built with the best class of dwelling houses, ranging in cost from $1,200 to $5,000. Among the numerous builders who propose to invade Orchard Place audi tion during the present year are Col. P. S. Savage of the Santa Fe ami ex-State Treasurer Frank Crimes, whose houses LITTLE FOB LIBS. BURD1CK. (Continued from First Page.) Patrolman Meyer told of meeting the lone woman near the Burdick home at 1:10 o'clock a. m. on the morning of the murder. He would not be able to iden tify the woman if he met her again. THE DOMESTIC TESTIFIES. Katie Koenig, a domestic in the Bur dick family, told in detail of the events of the evening, besrinninc with the ar rival cf Mr. Burdick with a cocktail bottle, which she had not seen since he took it into the kitchen; of her havin last seen Burdick in the hallway about S:3Q c'c'.oci-: that she retired about 9:50 and heard no unusual noises during the night." She then told the events lead ing up to the time Margaret Murray, the other domestic, called on Dr. Marcy by telephone. She had not heard a cuarrel in the house and did not know that the rela tions between Burdick and Mrs. Bun dick were strained until after the mur der. She knew Mrs. Burdick went Ij Atlantic City, but she did not consider that strange. Gentlemen callers were rare at the Burdick house. Nobody had ever had a ciuarrel with Burdick at the door. A Mr. Peacock, accompanied by a woman, had called two weeks before the murder and Burdick and Marion had gone out with them. Mr. and Mrs. Burdick were on good terms up to the time she left and the witness had never noticed any thing unpleasant between them. Attorney Hartzell .brought out the in teresting fact that the gas in the hall and in the den was lighted by an elec tric appliance. By pressing the button the gas could be lighted. By pressin, another button it was extinguished. On the night after the murder it was founc that the electrical arrangement in lin den would not work. An investigation showed that someone had turned off the gas in the den instead of extinguishing; it by means of the button. The attorney's purpose in bringing out this fact was to show that whoever was in the house on the night of the murder was not familiar with the electric aiv rangement for turning out the gas.

After swinging down 10 44a. there was a reaction to 44i.a44i on cover ing by shorts, but the market steadied around this figure with trading much quieter than earlier in the day.

Time and events will point out the man for us in 1904. What thoughtful man can doubt that he must be one who was in the Democratic column in '95 and again in 1900? This Is not only justice, but it is necessity as well. Be assured the man of the hour will be found: and meanwhile let us strive to heal sores, not to tear open old wounds. Let us invite recruits to join the party, and not do anything in folly or bitter ness to drive them from it. Let us rally where the party flag foes. Let us act charity rather than preach too much about it. Let-us recognize hu man nature and respect instead of that I quarreling with it. Let us learn well i the lessons of the past, that we may laremont meet well the duties and responsibili ties of tne present ana tne iurure. nei him who did much before for the party I and its principles strive to do more in the future, and let him who did nothing for his party's cause in the days of dis sension and division, or who then did aught against his party's battle-scar-recl millions, spare no honorable effort now or in the future for his party's complete triumph. Nothing will heal old sores lik the balm of victory won righting together. Thomas will erect a. beautiful cottage on Qulney street near Eighth avenue.

St. Louis March 17. Arguments were begun this morning in the United States district court before Judge Elmer Ii. Adams upon the motion of the defend ants to dissolve the temporary injunc tion issued two weeks ago by Judge Adams restraining the officials of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen and the thotherhood of Locomotive Firemen from ordering a strike of the members of those organizations employed by the Wabash railroad. All the prominent of ficials of both labor organizations were present and both sides to the contro versy were represented by a strong ar ray of legal counsel. The proceedings opened by the read ing by E. J. Piney of Cleveland, attor ney for the Brotherhoods, of a number of affidavits filed by officials of the labor organizations in rebuttal of affidavits filed last Saturday by the attorneys of the Wabash system. These affidavits were made by P. H. Morrissey, grand master of the train men: J. J. Hannahan, grand master of the firemen, and nine others, all being either officers of or affiliated with the two labor organizations. They all stated in effect that no persuasion or argu ment had been used to induce the men to strike, but that, on the contrary, every man had expressed his desire by a vote which he cast independently and without dictation from any source. It was also declared that no force or coer cion was contemplated in bringing about a strike of the Wabash employes. Several of the affidavits were of great length and their reading consumed much time. Grand Master Morrissey In his affi davit swore that he as an officer and others as officers of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen who had been en joined from ordering a strike had not in fact any power to order a strike, a two-third vote of the members being requisite for such a step. As an officer he could do no more than announce the result of the vote taken; it was then for the members of the organization to take steps in accordance with the action favored by the majority of the men.

STOCKS The opening stock market here was affected by the better feeling ovfr the money situation in London and pric-s were higher. There were exceptions, prin cipally among the southern and southwest ern railways. St. Louis Southw-estern pre ferred f el i nearly a point. There was a rise of 2-H points in Anaconda. Changes otherwise were small and the market was dull. The heavy demand for Southern Pacific, while stimulating the list for a time, was made use of as a cover for selling elsewhere. Southern Pacific and Tennes see Coal lost 1 point advance and Pennsyl vania dropped rapidly from 143 to 1414, which increased bearish sentiment. Most of the usual leaders sold a good fraction under their first pri( esu Consolidated (.las. North American and International Power lost a point each. Southern Pacific was supported again below- 63 and some stocks rallied in sympathy to the best. The mar kef developed a very irregular tone. Fluctuations were constant and irregu lar. New York Central lost a point, as did Kansas and Texas preferred, Sioss. Sheffield felt 1'2 points and North Ameri can 2 points.

Giren the liight toVote on Police Magistrate. Two Important Bond Proposi tions Before the People. Women will take a more Important part in the election of April 7 then they have ever before taken in the city of Topeka. They will have more vot ing to do. Under the new city charter act, pass ed by the legislature which has Just ad journed, women are for the first time given the right to vote on all proposi tions to issue city bonds. There are two such propositions to be voted on April 7. One is the proposition to issue bonds for the purpose of building more school houses. The othtr is the city ownership of waterworks proposition. Women are also authorized to vote for police judge, the office which under tbe new law is made elective instead of appointive. The provision of the law- giving wo men the right to vote on bond proposi tions is as follows: "Article 111, Section 14: In ail elec tions held for the election of city or school officers, or for the purpose of authorizing the issuance of any bonds for school purposes or other public im provements, the right of any citizen to vote shall not be denied or abridged on account of sex, and women may vote at such election the same as men, un der like restrictions and qualifications." For the information o voters, and for women voters especially, the fol lowing statement is given concerning the two bond propositions: WATERWORKS BONDS. The issuing of bonds to buy the waterworks plant, and operating it as a city institution as the city electric light plant now is. has been pending for a long lime. The city once voted $440,000 to build a new plant, but it was claimed that the election was invalid, ana notn elective office of police judge, and the women's vote should insure the election of a strong temperance men to that po sition. Without the police judge in sympathy with him, the work of any mayor to enforce the prohibitory law will be largely in vain. Before the passage of the new city charter act, the poiice judge, like the chtef of police, was appointed by the mayor. This insured having a police administration in sympathy, and for many reasons was a better arrangement than the cresent one. W. S. Bergundthal. Republican can didate for mayor, does not like the new way. He says: "I think that it was a mistake to make the office of police judge elective. It should have been left appointive, so that the police administration of the city might be sure of being in harmony. The mayor's hands would be tied now In case the police judge was not friendly to the enforcement of any laws. The judge could run the town to suit him self as far as prohibition or open sa loons is concerned." POLLS OPEN EARLY. Under the new election law, the polls will be open two hours longer at the election on April 7 than ever before. The opening hour is 6 o'clock a. m., and the closing hour is 7 o'clock p. m. The voting will be in progress for lo hours. In the past the polls have opened at 8 a. m., and closed at 6 p. m. The object of the early opening and late closing Is to enable laborers to vote either before going to work in the morning, or after coming nome from their day's work. SHAMROCK LAUNCHED. Sir Thomas Lipton's New Yacht a Splendid Boat. Glasgow, Jlarch 17. The Shamrock III was launched at 1:13 today. Large crowds gathered at Dennis yard at Dunbarton, in spite of the drenching rain, which however, ceased before the arrival of the special visitors train. Sir Thomas Lipton escorted Lady Shaftesbury to the christening dais. Among others on the platform were tiie Earl and Countess of Marandkillie.Lord Overtoil, Lord Provost of Glasgow, the j Hon. Charles Russell, Reginald Ward, William Fife and Captains Wrings and i Bevis. i At 1:15 p. m. Lady Shaftesbury broke i the bottle saying: I "I christen you Shamrock, may God bless you and may you bring us back the cup." I Then, arnid loud cheers the Shamrock I III slid easily into the water. After more j cheering the visitors proceeded to lunch ing was done.

The lowest price which th i ted Press on the subject and s howed water company would accept was ?b-'0,- i that ire had struck out boldly on en tirely novel lines instead or tryinc to 9. which price is in the nature of compromise between the price asked and the price offered. The nroriosition is to issue J330.000 in 5 per cent, bonds, and for the city to as sume JJ70.0O0 indebtedness which now rests on the plant and which can not be paid off until the year 1926. This mikes a total of SG-n.r,00. It is rn-obable that the city ownership proposition will carry, though there are a few who claim that the price asked is too high, and that the city would do better to engage in a lawsuit with the eorr.uny and try to force it to accept terms more advantageous to the cHv. JtCRE SCHOOL BONDS. the second bond proposition is to is tinker or improve on either of the pre- 1 vious Lipton challengers. Like her pre- i deeessors, however, the Shamrock IIII is J built close up to the 9 foot water line j limit. Her length over all is 140 feet, j The most striking feature of the chai- i lenger is her extremely short fin. It is just 20 feet long. Her draught is 19 feet and the fin is almost level along Lhe hot- j torn. The lead in the hull is drawn well down to the fin, suggesting the deep body typical of the British cutter rather than the extreme fiat hoored type adapt ed from the American cenlerboard yachts and used in all the recent challengers.

Wita lesser draft and not so Hat floored as the previous Shamrocks, the challenger will not have so much stability, so Fife has either gone in for a light weather boat or he has cut down her sail area. Their are daring, novel features in the design, the effect of which can not be accurate ly gauged except by actual trial. They suggest the possibility of difficulty in getting the new beat to trim, steer and carry her canvas. If, however, she ac complishes these objects well, she will prove to be by far the most formidable challenger ever sent out. The underbody of the Shamrock III is painted with a white anti-fouling compo ition. Her top sides are white and silt has bread bands of green along tht water line and rail. Her hull, frames and plates are all of nickel steel, espe cially made. The deck is of aluminum plates covered with wood, which gives a safe hold. The workmanship of the yacht is su perb in every detail, no dent, rivet or joint visible under the polish of her paint. After the launching Sir Thomas Lip ton said to a correspondent of the Asso ciated Press: "My third and perhaps last attempt at lifting the America's cup will he the mo-t serious and I think the most hopeful.

A Topeka Irishman writes the follow ing for the State Journal: In the two centuries before .St. Pat rick's advent to Ireland, there flourished among other sovereigns of IrMand, less know n to fame, the great warrior, Xiall of the Nine Hostages, and King Dahi, this was not his real name. It was a nickname. His real name was Feredaen the II. During these 200 years the flag of Ire land waved through continental Europe over victorious armies and fleets, the Ir ish kings leading powerful armies across the plains of iJaul, and even up to the very confines of the "Caesars' domains" in Italy. This was the hey day of Irish military power in Europe, a day which after wards waned so disastrously, and later on, set in utter gloom. The neighboring Britons, whose yoke a thousand years later Ireland was to wear, then lay helpless and abject at the mercy of the Irish hosts, the Britons, as history relates, absolutely weeping and wailing at the departure of the en slaving Itoman Legions, because now there would be nothing to stay the vistla of the Irish and the Ficts. The Irish chief tains had their homes tilled with white slaves. captured in these raids and incursions, both in Britain and Gaul. These white captives were made attendants to the princes and chieftains of Ireland. It was in this manner that the youthful Patricius (Patrick) was brought a slave to Ire land from Gaul, some historians say from Scotland. When the power of Imperial Rome be gan to decline, and the outlyins legions were being drawn closer and closer to the great city itself, the sunburst of Ireland blazed over the seas and the re treating Romans found the cohorts of Erin pushing dauntlessly on their track. The Irish writers of the time them selves say but little of the deeds of the armies abroad. The continental records of the time however give us pretty full insight into the part they played on the European stage in that time. That is "When Scots came thundering from the Irish shores The ocean trembled, struck with hostile oars." Niall was killed in Gaul, on the hanks of the Loire, while leading his armies in one of these campaigns. King Dahi was killed by lightning at the foot of the Alps while leading his legions. Thomas Davis, the great dramatic poet of Ireland immortalized in song the death of Dahi: "Little does Erin care Ecu gold or maiden fair Where is King Dahi? where? Where is my bravest? On the rich deck he lies. O'er him his sunburst flies Solemn the obsequies Erie! thou gavest. Broad is his cairn's base N'igh the king's burial place, Last of the Pagan race, Lieth King Dahi:" Of these foreign expeditions Ireland was destined to be indebted for her own conquest by the spirit of Christianity. King Niall among other captive brought the youthful Patrick and his two sisters Darerca and Lupita to Ire land. The story of St. Patrick's bondage, his subsequent miraculous escape, his entry into holy orders, his visie-n of Ireland where he saw the people stretching out their arms and implor ing him to come back to them, his long studies under St. Germain and his final determination to undertake in an espe cial manner the conversion of Ireland to th Christian faith, will be found in any Irish church history of the Life of St. Patrick. Having received the sanction and benediction of Pope Clestine, and been onsecrated bishop, St. Patrick accom lanied by a band of faithful priests, landed in Ireland 4;!2. This article will not allow to go into detail of his missionary labors, but suffice it to say that he completely converted the Irish nation before his death, and the conversion was accom plished without the shedding of mar tyr blood. I will give one illustration of bis labors and it occurred at the very outset of his labors as an apostle. Driudism was the pagan form of worship then prevailing in Ireland, and the ard-ri or high king was holding a druidica.1 festival at Tava at which the kindling of a great fire formed the chief feature of the proceedings. It was a. crime punishable with death for any one to light a fire in the surrounding country on the eve of that festival un til the sacred fire on the hill of Tara blazed forth. To his consternation, however, the king beheld on the hill of Slane visible "rom Tara a bright fire kindled in the arly evening. This was the Paschal fire which St. Patrick and his missionaries had light ed for it was Holy Saturday. The king sent for tiie chief druid, and pointed out to him on the distant horizon the flickering beam that so boldly; violated the sacred laws. The arch priest look ed long and eagerly at the spot and finally answered, "O, king, there is in deed a llame lighted on yonder hill, which, if it be not put out tonight, will never be quenched in Erin." Much troubled by this answer of the druid priest. Laori ordered that the offenders be brought instantly before him for punishment. St. Patrick on being ar rested ariayed himself in bis vestments and, crozier in hand, marched boldly at the head of his cap.tors, reciting aloud as he went along a litany, which is still extant, in which he invoked on that great day for Ireland. The Holy Trin ity the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost the ever blessed Mary the mother of God -and the saints around the throne of Heaven. When St. Pat rick arrived before the king and his assembled nobles and druidieal high priests undismayed, proclaimed to them that he had come to quench the firs of paganism in Ireland and light the fires r.f the Christian faith. The king listened in amazement and arger but no evil befell St. Patrick. On the contrary, be made converts on the spot, and the sermon and controversy in the king's presence proved an aus picious beginning for the glorious mis sion he had just entered. It was on thi occasion St. Patrick mr.de use cf the sharmock to explain the trinity of God, viz.. three in one; and an there were thre leaves in one stem of the shamrock, so there were three per sons in one God. Other instances occurred in the mis sionary life of St. Patrick of equal sig nificance, but it is not necessary to re late them here. Suffice it to state that on March 17, 493. which day is cele brated as his feast by the Catholic church and by the Irish people at home and in exile, St. Fatrirl: died in his fa vorite retreat of Saul in the County Down, and where his body was interred. "His obsequies." say the old annalists, "continued for twelve days, during which the lights of countless tapers turned night into day, and the bishops and priests of Ireland congregated on the occasion." Therefore today the sons and daugh ters of Ireland, at home and in exile, assemble together to honor the memory of one of the greatest saints in the cal endar. Today the Irish peasant at home, suffering under a tyrant govern ment, lifts ur his voice in prayer to St. Patrick, imploring him to intercede-before the throne o Grace for the amelio ration 'of Ireland's wrongs. The people of Ireland today keep sacred the mem ory of their beloved patron saint, and next to Christmas dav think more of St. Patrick's day than any other church festival. Today the exiles of Erin, scattered all over the world as they ure, in England, in France and other European coun tries, in the far oft' colonies of Australia, in India, in the Philippines, in Canada, and in our own I'r.ited States, congre gate in hundreds and thousands, aye hundreds of thousands, to renew again then- love and fealty for the land of their birth and ancestry. Today the Irish people, headed by their good bishops and priests, fittingly celebrate the memory of their beloved St. Patrick, and nowhere in so enthu siastic a manner as in this giorious land of Washington, where the Irishman en joys that freedom of worship more than in any country under the sun. Much more might be said on the sub ject, but enough has been written to show that St. Patrick was a man to be loved and honored, not only by the Irish, but by all lovers of Christianity, because the children of Patrick have carried the gospel of Christ to all lands and all peonies. "All praise to St. Patrick, who brought to our mountains The gift of God's faith, the sweet light of his love; All praise to the shepherd who showed us the fountains That .rise in the heart of a Savior a bove. For hundreds of years. In smiles and in tears. Our saint- has been with us, our shield and cur stay. All else may have gone, St. Patrick alone He has been to us light, when earth's lights were all set. For the glories of faith, they can never decay. And the best of our glories are bright with us yet. In the faith and the feast of St. Pat rick's Day." AN IRISHMAN. TWINS DIE TOGETHER. Retire to a Stable and Inject Morphine. St. Louis, March 17. Dr. J. A. MeKee was found dead and his twin brother and comrade, Charles MeKee, dying in the stable of Dr. MeKee at Edwards ville, 111., today under circumstances that indicate dual suicide to escape the disgrace that threatened the physician, and which his brother dreaded as much as if it were his own. This explanation grows out of the arrest of Dr. MeKee a few days ago. He was known to have been greatly worried over the case, but it was not thought that he would com mit suicide. When the bodies were dis covered Dr. MeKee had been dead sev eral hours and Charles MeKee was breathing faintly but 15 minuts later death came from the injection of mor phine. Dr. MeKee, who was 40 years old. had an excellent practice. He leaves a widow and one child. ALBA dill IX KANSAS Oil. Says He Will Support Kr. Wallace for Congress.

The New York papers recently con tained a long account of the so-cr.l!ed discovery of a celebrated professor in one of the leading universities. Tho "discovery" related to a new and suc cessful way of treating wheat and bar ley to nreoare the starchy part by di y baking, so it would be made more diges tible and nutritious. Thereupon Prof. Livingstone commenting on the dis- i covery of the other Frofesso'- says, "A j discoverer who was a business man first and a scientist afterward found that i such fcoos could be made more digesti- ble when cooked with dry heat instead jof by boiling in water, and has already placed on the market the food which he discovered prior to Dr. This refers to Graoe-Nuts the most scientif ically mad-i food known.

At the meeting cf the Republican city central committee at the old court house last night, J. W. Gleed, who is a mem ber of the committee, gave the opinion coucernine; the selection of the Repub lican candidate for police judge that the committee has no authority to make tlv selection before the new city charter aci. gees into effect. That depends upon it publication in the official state ;a;ier. The committee decided to abide by Mr. Gleed's decision, as he had given it at request. A new factor has appeared in the po lice judgeship contest in the person oi Clad Hamilton. Mr. Hamilton has just withdrawn from his position in the at tci-ney noiars fce in the state house to enter a private law practice. He has been persuaded by- his friends to ac cept the nomination if tendered to him. and it is very likely that he will be taken up as a compromise candidate. .Mr. Hamilton is not anxious for the office. J. W. Gleed is working for him, and a number cf the members of the cerr.mittee have lined up for him al ready. Judging from the appearance of things at last night's meeting the strength of E. R- Simon, J. E. Larimer and M. T. Camnbell was about evenly divided. Mr. Campbell said yesterday he didn't particularly want the job. but had been ursed to take it if it could b? gotten for him. There is no question but that Hamil ton would make a fine race for the office and that he would make a suitable po lice magistrate. His popularity is P su one argument in bis favor, and" th fact that the Republicans want their best strength in this padticular part of the ticket recommends his selection io many members of the committee. It is said the Democrats will make a strong tight with W. E. Atchison as their can. didite for the judgeship. Atchison is well known and has many friends. ON NON PARTISAN BASIS. Washburn Is Gradually Eradicating Factionalism. For the purpose of organizing the staff of the Washburn Weekly Review on 3 basis which will free it from fac tional lines, a plan is under considera tion forchoosing a non-partisan staff for th coming year. This action is being taken by the staff, hut probably would not have started had not the faculty of the college given strong hints that un less the paper should cut loose from factional lines and quit criticising the college and its policy, the faculty would suppress it. In order to avoid such a contingency, the staff appointed a committee consist ing of Perley Kelley. L. B. Fritts. O. J. P.ackinstoce, Miss Maude Neyhart and Miss Mabel Heil to find out what can be done. This committee met Monday night and selected a sub-committee composed of Miss Emma Irelan. Miss Grace Galloway, John Vandemark and Frank Aldrich. with a fifth member to be chosen from the faculty.

Campbell, chairman of the state live stock sanitary commission, says that Texas itch is prevalent among the cattle in the counties west of the 100th meridian, and that there are also casts of it in Jewell, Marion, Neosho and Pratt counties. The commission pro poses in the near future to take steps to prevent the disease from spreading fur ther east and to stamp it out of the western nart of the state if possible. This will require some restrictions on the movement of western cattle to the The 100th meridian runs through Nor ton, Graham, Trego. Ness, Hodgeman, Ford and Clark counties. The counties to the west are all range counties. Mf. Campbell says the disease was brought into Kansas from Colorado. Cattle which have the itch scratch themselves until they create scabs on their hides. They lose their flesh and vitality and are unable to stand cold weather. COMING DRAMATIC EVENTS. "The Moonshiner's Daughter" is a story of heroism and recital of brave deecls. Features are fight between moon shiners and revenue men, the destruc tion of an illicit still with dynamite and the transformation scene. The moon shiners making whisky, the under ground passage of escape, thrilling fight on mountain top, how the mountain women can shoot, how the darkies can sing and dance, all will be at the New Crawford tonight. In Pennsylvania many girls exist on the money earned by picking coal from the waste thrown from the breaker. These girls are peculiar characters, and bubble over with quaint sayings and natural humor. A dirty bank girl, "Nancy Davis." is one of the charac ters in the drama, "Pennsylvania," which is to come to the New Crawford Saturday afternoon and night. "A Woman's Sacrifice" will be at the New Crawford Sunday night. Frederic Ranken's libretto for "The Chaperons," which operatic comedy will be seen at the New Crawford Monday night, is said to fairly sparkle with crisp and gay badinage. Follow ing are a few samples of laugh provok ing lines: The Chaperone "The plot begins to sit up and notice things." i Bassini, a buffo-basso impresario j "When I was with Patti I sang my Low C." Hortense. a prima donna "Can you I take re Low C?" Bassini "Bah! I can go so low it i would make a coal mine look like aj foot print." Adam Hogg, studying life tn Paris "Once I was unable to get into a bar room on Sunday in New- York!" His valet "Locked up?" Hogg "No. too crowded!" O'Shaunessy, a New York subway contractor "I came to Paris to study rapid transit. Some one- told me it was the fastest city in the world." HARD ON MOTHER. Some. Topeka Mothers Know Well How Hard It Is. A mother's cares are never light, and it's no wonder. Backache and other kidney ills increase her daily burden. There is one sure way to make the bur den lighter. Let a Topeka mother show you how. Mrs. Frank Danek. of t15 West First street, says: "I take pleasure in recom mending such an effective remedy as Dran's Vidnev Pills. My boy. 7 years old, suffered from kidney weakness for three years or more, having no control over the kidney secretions whatever. This was very noticeable and annoying at night, and various remedies I gave him had no effect. Nothing reached his ose until I got a box of Loan's Kidney Pills at Rowley Snow's drug store. I noticed their beneficial results in a short time, and a continuation of the treat, ment poem completely cured him. They are a grand remedy, and I cannot say- too muc h in their praise.

Stc toiled through the afternoon, tor tuifd by a thousand fears, until at last Tommy, mallet in hand, rounded down Uie last form, and earned it to the press. The little machine rumbled, and the damp, sticky papers came out. Maria washed, wound her mantilla around her head, seized a paper, and went straight to Pecos Fill. "Find the end of the convention. ;tnd tell me what you see," panted Maria. Pecos Bill spread the sheet on the rouerh floor, and, easing himself on one elbow, read down the column. The fire, of knowledge Hashed into his eyes. "Why, I ain't out to Plume's." he criad. .She knelt down by the boy, and put her arms around his neck. "I put that in the paper," she cried, "to lead 'em off, and send 'em out to the ranch, so I can get you away." He crawled to his feet painfully. His eyes were bright, and the blood was in his cheek. ";et down, can't you," snarled the girl. "Don't you know they'll see you" She looked cautiously out of a window. Many of the bearded men were lounging on the Dorch of a saloon across the street. A rider dashed up to the group, waving a newspaper over his head. The crowd listened, while he read to them from the saddle. Then the men jumped for their horses. Maria went out, Whm she came back she beckoned to Pill. He followed her down a side stair. He drank and went out. In front of the lance hall was a horse. The street was deserted. Pecos Hill was climbing pain fully into the saddle when 13ob Cowan, a crumpled copy of the Maverick in his hand, dashed up the street on horse back. Iiis face was red with anger. Kill's gun was in his belt. Maria drew it out and pointed it at Cowan. "Get down off that horse." she said. Cowan dismounted fuming with rage. "Somebody's sent the whole town on a w ild goose chase. If I knew who med dled with my paper I'd break his neck." "I did eet," said Maria. "Throw up your hands." Cowan stood by the horse with both arms raised above his head. Maria grasped the bridle and swung herself into the saddle. "Hand me your gun," she commanded, still covering Cowan. He gave his six-shooter to the girl. "Now," she said, "everything sees all right." "I'll get you for this, Bill," stormed Cowan, "and you, too, Maria." "Just so ain't now," laughed Pecos Bill, "I don't care." Before them, through the straggling town, lay the road to Mexico. San An tonio News. THRESHING A KING (By M. Quad.) We were trading to the Loyalty Is lands in the brig Louise, of San Fran cisco, and on this particular trip had anshored in a bay in the king's own is land and opposite his village. The king was called Tom John, and he professed the greatest friendship for traders. We had been there for ten days, and noth ing whatever had occurred to make us suspect treachery. The captain and I had been ashore several times, been treated with the greatest deference, and the natives who had boarded us did not need watching. Tom John had given out that if" a man stole from us even to the value of an inch of wire he should be brained with a club. The king was accompanied by three of his escort, and we afterwards re membered that they appeared to be more interested in the windlass, cable and the spare anchor on the rail than in all else about the craft. A pressing invitation was given us to attend a royal feast on shore that evening, a sort of "blow-out" to prove the friendship of the islanders, but as the captain was not feeling well he declined to accept. Tom John and his friends appeared to be very much disappointed and upset that we were not to go, but when they left the brig it was with the under- standing that the feast should come off a day or two later. The night come down very dark, with the promise of a change of weather. Kvery night we had had two armed men on watch, while the cannon was loaded with canister and the muskets ready 'it hand in case of an alarm. There were :io canoes drawn up on the beach, and t mai mraiiminn of "the 'town the adul counted up at least 'Ai0. For arms they had a few old muskets, but depended mostly on blow guns, lances and bows and arrows. Aside from these every man had a knife. "We had an anchor watch set. with orders to be extra vigilant, and this man had not been on duty an" hour when he felt, as he afterwards explained it, that something was wrong with the anchor or cable. He aroused the man who had left the deck, but was ridiculed for his fears and ordered to return to his station. Ten minutes later, having heard suspicious noises over the bows, he ventured to wake me up ana relate his fears. I went on deck with him and after listening for a few min- t tonme satisfied that somethine queer was going on, and called the cap tain, who at once ordered tne sleepers among the crew to be turned out. u s BEFORE THE BRI? SAILED AWAY i KYEKYTHING WAS IN FLAMES. I Th black rascals were trying a trick i worthy of a Yankee. The tide would i begin-to flow at 2 o'clock. Four of their j largest canoes had paddled cuietly out to the alienor, divers had gone down with rope, and they were lifting it off tho ground to let the brig be drifted ashore j with the tide. We couldn't see ten feet i into the night, but we came to this con elusion from the feel of things, and we didn't reach that conclusion a minute j too sor-n. I went down into the cable I tier and softly knocked out the shackle pin. while the captain saw that the end of the cable went overboard without I noise, being lowered by a rope. At the 1 -ame time men were sent aloft to loosen. the sails, and we got steerage way on the brig just in time to save her. Some of the fellows must have been nearer 1 than we imagined, for as we headed across the basin they raised an alarm, a score of torches were lighted simulta neously, and throe canoes full of men came dashing at our port how. The cap tain and a sailor slewed the gun around and poured its contents into the ap proaching crafts, and the discharge was followed by such shrieks and yells as I never want to her again. We dared not risk the attempt to leave the harbor with the darkness so thick around us, and the breeze shifting about so un steadily, and for the next two hours we were lx oritur about the basin and ex pecting an attack any moment. When daylight came, the wind settled into the north and was fair for a run out. The captain wanted to teach the x'c ITT vv- s$ "Xls X 1 .3 m MISCELLANEOUS IBS. FREE MESSENGER FOR WANX3. PULL an A. D.

Sth heathen a lesson first, however. There was a fleet of a dozen canoes coming out for us, and the fellows were no doubt pleased and surprised that we had not escaped to sea. Every man was told what, to do, and we put the brig directly for the fleet. When within musket shot, the captain opened with canister, and later on we used our mus kets to good advantage. In passing through the fleet the brig ran down a canoe with nine men in it, and I believe we killed a dozen outright. None wait ed for a second dose, but made for the shore as fast as possible. In one of the canoes was the king himself, and one of our crew brought a musket to bear on him and put a bullet into his shoulder. W e had won a victory, but the cap tain was not yet satisfied. We had about thirty solid shot in the maga zine, and standing back and forth across the basin, as near the town as we dared approach, they were sent whizzing from the bia- srim to Unor-k- things into fragments. Kvery inhab itant nea to the woods as we opened lire, and, though we were not using hot shot, three or four fires were kindled and the biggest part of the town was laid in ashes. There was no fear of the natives at tacking us if w-e landed, as the roar of the big gun and the havoc wrought by the cannon balls had given them a fright they would not get over in a whole day. We put off in boats, land ed on the beach, and what buildings had been spared we applied the torch to, and before the brig sailed away everything was in flames. The plot to massacre us originated with the king, who declared that it could not fail. The fact that it did fail so incensed the people against Tom John that he lost his head before the brig was out of sight, as we afterwards came to know. (Copyright. ISO.'!, by C. B. Lewis.) C031PULS0KY HAItt CUT. Uncle Sam Little Suspected That a Damage Suit Lingered in It. When Uncle Sam established the rule of a compulsory hair-cut for the In dians, possibly he did not foresee that he might be called uoon to oav not onlv or tne barber's services, but heavy uamages ro tne snorn Indian as well. Such damages have been demanded from Indian Agent Spear by Big Injun Agua His, of the Yuma tribe in southern California. He was deprived of a luxuriant head of hair by the official barber, acting un der instructions rrom tne Indian bureau, and the Indian has brought suit for $5,000. Plenty of hair and paint of a high color are deemed essentia! to the social standing of a Yuma tribesman, i Hence the suit. In his complaint filed in court, the red victim of a forced hair cut alleges as follows: "Defendant J. "S. Spear, deprived of hl liberty this plaintiff, Agua His and .lil oi crtue-o to ue cue orr an ine nair upon his head, wholly depriving plaintiff of a healthy, long growth of natural hair, highly prized by this plaintiff be cause he is a member of the Yuma tribe of Indians, and as such he was entitled by birthright, and by the customs, laws, and usages of his tribe and people, anil the religious rites and ceremonies of the Yuma tribe of Indians to wear, use, and enjoy said hair and to keep it on li is head and shoulders as a protection from the hot sun and rain." This is an important matter. If Agua His wins his suit, and some think he "v .o e lug Sov ei nmem. in a ct f trouble. Statistics are not at hand to show now many Indians have been subjected to the enforced tonsorial 00 erations of the. official barber, but thev run up into the thousands. All these In dians may not have resisted the official hair-cutter, but it is safe to say that no Indian ever heard the scissors snip with good opinion of the law. The outcome of the case of His, or his case, is awaited with breathless interest at Washington. Butte Inter-Mountain. HL310K OF THE DAY. Tommy "Wasn't that your luncheon bell?"

The young housewife should reflect that Gorham Silver, may always be matched. Beginning with half-a-dozen teaspoons, she may by degrees acquire aservice possessing the inestimable advantages of Gorham silverware. All responsible jewelers keep it ii S P Should the creditor overdraw the figr ures, on the books, Diekerson made a false deposit to cover his work. In one instance J. H. German deposited $2,000. When the examiner went over the books it was found that the ledger showed $S0rt checked to J. H. HuKRins. Hugsins denies any knowledge ot" this transaction and the money probably went into Dickersun's coffers for spec ulation on the board of trade. The bank commissioner, Mr. Clark, is of the I opinion that Diekerson lost about $23, 000 in corn and wheat speculation in Chicago and St. Louis. j Until a. year ago the bank was known ias the Diekerson Starratt bank. C. II. j Starratt died last April. When his widow went to the bank to ascertain I what interest her deceased husband had i had in the institution. Diekerson told j her that Starratt owned no stock, that i i he himseif had bought his interest, fot v. hich he g:tve a note to Mrs. Starratt j for $1.1 10. The widow does not hesitate to say that she believes Diekerson pock- eted the remainder of Stat ratt's interest in the concern, which probably was 5o, 000 or Sfi.OOa. But Dickerson's depositors were not the only ones to suffer. lie was ap parently no res.iector of persons, and when once on th path made a clean sweep of everythinar. He was arrested February 14. two counts beinK stated in the indictment. Diekerson was taken la, Yates Center to see his attorneys, Ein,t while in the county seat town a. justice of the ieaee cut his bond down from r,.CX to $2,000. Kleven men sisrned thr bond, which has since been declared for feited. Dickersen owned residence property in Toronto valued at perhaps 1,200. A man representing Wilder P. MetcaU placed a $510 loan on the place in 1SU:.. After being arrested Diekerson gave A. C. Gordy a mortgage on the same prop erty for $1,000, and less than three hours Inter a ?ain mortgaged the place to hi" attorneys, lam!) Hogueland.for a lii,-fc amount. The following day he give to S. C Krr U, one of his bondsmen, a deed to the rdace for $l.ono. Those transfers were verified Saturday by the corre sponoept. who examined the books in the resist er of deeds office at Yates ''enter. Kas. A milling: plant, the bank building at Toronto and a small traiV of land west of town were deeded to the receiver to help pay r.f the indebtedness of the bank. His household poods were sold to a brother-in-law at Yates Cen. Depnsits were taken at the bank tm to within a few hours of the time of clos- if a. n cays neiore tne bunds were i wo days before the blinds drawn. $.",00 was placed with Diekerson to the credit of Mrs. C. K. Jones of j Wichita, Kan. Other smaller amounts were accepted. James Boone, a Pleasant Grove town- shin farmer was among the heavy de- pos.tors. He went to Toronto as soon as it was earned the bank had closed, j Tint '.mo tnliH Vi a t n-on .1 W i v.-. :t li.c.L it uum tr inline lillli before he could realize anything. Brood mg over his .sudden misfortune caured Boone to lose his mind and last week he was brought to Eureka and adjudg ed insane before a commission of local Physicians. Another instance of where the depositor lost all was that of Lon Gordy. who had month after month de posited his savings in Dickerson's ba'nk. Gordy was loud in his maledictions and, it is claimed, Diekerson to quiet the man. Mave him a mortgage on the residence property at Toronto, but when Gordy went to record the title he found instead of having a first mortgage, two other mortgages had been recorded and a deed given to the property which LMokerson had preferred him to offset a part of his loss in the bank. Dickerson's wife and three children are at present in Fort Scott. MRS. ROOSEVELT WILL SAIL Long Cruise on Atlantic for Health Is Ordered by Dr. Rixey. Washington, March IT. On the ad vice of Surgeon General Rixey, who is attending the president and his fa.mily, Mrs. Roosevelt is to take a long breath of salt air for the benefit of her health. She will sail on the president's yacht Mayflower March US for a ten days' cruise down the Potomac and Chesa peake bay and out into the Atlantic. She will go accompanied by aii the Roosevelt children except Miss Alice, who is away. If Mrs. Roosevelt finds her health greatly benefited the cruise may be ex tended beyond the ten days planned. She is suffering from the effect of the social strain which almost caused a complete breakdown of her health a few weeks ago. Miss Taylor's Petition Dismissed. Washineton. March 17. The district su preme court today dismissed the petition of Miss Rebecca J. Taylor for a manda mus to compel the eretary of war to re store her to a clerical position in the war department. She gave notice of appeal to the court of appeals. She was dismisred for published criticism of the administra tion's Philippine policy. Students Make a Demonstration, Madrid, March 17. The students here ae making a series of demonstrations against the minister of education. They paraded the streets singina: the Marseilles, made, an attempt to dt tnonstrate in front of the royal palace, but were prevented from doing so by the police. Many arrests have been made and the university is closed. On the eifrhth day of March it was, some people .say, That St. Patrick at midnight he first saw the dai"; "While others declare 'twas the ninth he was born. And 'twas all a mistake, between midnight and morn; For mistakes will occur in a hurry and shock. And some blamed the baby and some blamed the clock; 'Till, with aii thtr crose-questions, rure, no one could know If the child was too fast or the clock was too slow. Now the first faction fight in old Ireland, thev say. Was ail on account of St. Patrick's birth daj Some foug-ht for the eighth, for the ninth more would die. And who wouldn't see right, sure, they blackened his eye! At last both th factions so positive grew. That each had a birthday, so Pat then had two. Till Father Mulcahy, who showed them their sins. Said no one could have two birthdays but a pair of twins. Says he: "Boys, don't be fighting: for eight or lor nine. Don't be always dividing, but sometime combine. Combine eight with nine, and seventeen is the mark. So let that be his birthday." "Amen," says the clerk. If he wasn't a twdn, sure, our history will &how That at least he is worth two saints that we know. Then they all got blind drunk, which com pleted their bli?s. And we kept up the practice from that day till this. SAMUEL. LOVER. Krin ao braueh! The dof? tooth violet is nearly due. Dr. J. C. Kaster was in Ottawa Mon day. There are nine days more in which to register. D. "W. Goodwin has been visiting in Emporia. The government thermometer ranged Monday between 52 and 71. The street car tracks on West Tenth avenue are being repaired. Awnings that have been hibernating during the winter are appearing. "The Moonshiner's Daughter" is billed for Topeka. Is Blanch Boise still in town? The florists are getting ready to bring forth the blossoms in the state house grounds. The suit of Dr. TV. F. Bowen against Sprague Chase for $500 was settled out of court. The Catholic church bell has been working overtime today, in honor of St. Patrick. Work has been commenced on the construction of the sewer through Cen tral park. If iou don't understand what "Erin go braugh" means, ask Tom Doran. He can tell ;.-ou. The rrass in Father Hayden's from, yard was green this St. Patrick's day in the morning. John Blair, of the Santa Fe general offices, has returned from a. visit to his home in Emporia. E. B. Blake, who died Monday, w.is one of the first merchants to set up in business in Topeka. The Washburn baseball team will play the State Normal baseball team at Emporia April 16. Dick Hodgins is wearing that suit to day which he bought in Ireland. It has big leather buttons. Elm trees are now in blossom. It is too late to think seriously about buying more anthracite coal. The Washburn and K 17. girls' basket ball teams wiil play Friday night at the Y. W. C. A. gymnasium. This was tho day set by "Cider" Smith for you to come down town in the morning without your overcoat. Doctors say that there have been more fatalities from grip this spring than ever before in the history of Topeka. If there is an Irishman in Topeka who has a real shamrock, direct from "th ould sod." he will be the hero of the hour. Frank C. Raney, of Fort Scott, secre tary of the .Republican state central committee, is in Topeka today on po litical business. Y'ou will see just as many Irishmen today, if a bit of green is a sign of na tionalit:', as you will see Germans on St. Bock's day. The new cinder sidewalks through Central park have been completed. The park will probably be opened to the public this summer. The Vinewooci Park Railway company is said to be engaging men for the pur pose of beginning work on their new city lines this spring Under the new law women hav the right to vote on all bond propositions submitted at city elections. Don't lit the women forget this, BalHff Jonn Coyne, of the district COUrt, wanted the commissioners to fly a green tablecloth from the flag pole o 1 the court house today If you see an Irishman today, don't ask him to have an orange phosphate., nor even mention the word orange. If if 51 After Mental Exer tion No Rest. Nervous, Irritable and Wretched. Dr. Miles Nervine Saved My Life. There is littie joy in living: when the dis ordered nerves prevent sleep and rest; when one wakes from a restless night more tired than the night before; when one is forced to draft through the round of daily duties with out energy, ambition or interest. This con dition is due to a deransrement of the nerves which mav be speedily regulated and strengthened by Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine. This remarkable medicine has a wonderful record of cures. Supplying as it does the exact element needed for the res toration of the nerve force and vitality, its good effects are felt after the first few doses. 'I have used your remedies myself and in mv family for the past seven years and it is not too much to say that they sav-d my life. The tired feeling I used to have after giving a few music lessons has left me entirely and instead of lying in bed three or four hours trying to get sleep and then getting up and walking tlie floor until morning, I can now po to bed and s.eep eight, ten and twelve hours without any trouble. When I think of my former nervous, wretched, irritable state I want to tell everyone what Dr. Miles' Nervine has done for me. I can do as much work now in a day as 1 used to take a week to accomplish. I think Dr. Miies' Nervine is the best remedy for nervousness and gen eral debility on earth." L. D.

The picture of Evangelist Williams makes him look like a brother of Gener al Funeton, and like Funston he is de voted to the strenuous life. The jury will resume work in the district court next Monday. This pleases th jurymen as they will again begin drawing so much per. This is that much-taiked-of day. the origin of which is as much disputed as the name of the man who- threw the brick that hit Killy Patterson. Today Bob Semple, w ho is running for clerk of the city court on the Iemo cratic ticket, claims that he is an Irish man. He is also a son of Herman. The county commissioners say they will not grant the blanket franchise for a suburban electric road in Shawnee county which A. K. Rodg-ers asks for. Jacob Hafner brought suit in the dis trict court Monday afternoon to parti tion of the property owned by himself and his daughter-in-law, Mary Hafner. The latest rumor is Oscar Swayze for chief of police. Swayze has his ene mies and they seem to be trying to circulate the stories calculated to in jure him. Sheriff Lucas arrested Frank Camp bell in Kansas City Monday. He is Colored, and is charged with stealing theatrical paraphernalia from the Grand opera house. John Overberg, who for ten years has been night watch at the Union Pacific dep'ot in North Topeka, has quit his position. He had some trouble with a superior officer. P.. M. Wood was in the Indian Terri tory a few years ago on St. Patrick's day. He had every blanket Indian wearing green and looking for snakes in the high grass. The acreage of sweet peas already sown is quite, large. The crop is likely to assume such proportions that the enumerators will have to recognize it in their annual reports. The conntv commissioners went out to insoeet the West Sixth street paving Monday afternoon. They walked. They ought to ride on the increase in salaty they got from the legislature. Second hand thought: The tapeworm style of hat, which J. Elmer House pur chased on microscopic suspicion that he would need it in New York, commenced its third annual tour yesterday. "Where did you get the clover?" ask ed an unlightened court, loafer of John Coyne. "Clover!" shouted the Hibern ian. "Oi poid foive coints foir thoit and it noi cloiver, it's a shoomr.jock." A Concordia paper says: F. A. Okey of Topeka was in the city over Sunday visiting old time friends and attending to some property interests here. He was in business here some ten years ago. This was the day. a few years ago. that Fitz delivered that mighty solar plexus at Carson City which put Cor bett out of business. That was the fight that John J. Ingalls attended for the purpose of giving his views to the New Vork Journal. Two men who were candidates for the same city office in the recent Republi can primaries were comparing notes yesterday. They found that on the list of alleged workers which each one had hired, there were ten negroes, the same on each list. No accounting has been made by Judge Hazen as to how many ducks he killed at Kllinwood. The county au ditor may have to be called on to cut down the number given as the state ments are often rather high. For many weeks "The Chaperons" company has been followed from town to town by "Commodore" F. C. Have meyer, brother of H. O. Havemeyer, the sugar king, and himself a former vice president ot the American Sugar Re year's patterns you can nice patterns and will be 263. fining company. "Commodore" Have meyer is 71 years old. One-night stands are too much for the Commodore and he has deserted the company and gone home to New York. He will not come to Topeka with the company next Mon day. George A. Clark, state printer-elect, will buy the present state printing plant of W. Y. Morgan when Mr. Moigan'rf term expirts on July 1. This plant has been passed from one state printer to the next for the last ten years. That pied name of Hodeins and Kaczynski will soon have a place in the dictionary. It is being used as a po litical appellation. The McPherson Re publican says: "The Kacshodkinsinky gang in the Fourth ward is talking up a candidate for mayor." A man does not get past Post, the Union depot reporter of the Kansas City Journal, without getting all that is com ing to him. Here is one: "J. S. Park, of Topeka, president of the Continental Creamery company, and a former state printer of Kansas, was in the city yes terday." Bert Correll was arrested by Sheriff Cook in Topeka. some months ago on the request of Sheriff Costigan. "of Ot tawa, who charged him with horse stealing. He proved his innocence and sued Costigan. Depositions were taken in the case in Sheriff Lucas' office Mon day afternoon. Judge Frank Doster was in Kansas City Monday. It used to be that when he was the top notch Populist and fight ing the big, red dragon, the knees of the stock yard owners in Kansas City trembled when he went there. But. Doster has been swallowed by the dragon and is now a corporation law yer. An old Irish poem says of St. Pat rick: "There's not a mile in Ireland's isle where the dirty vermin musters; where'er he put his dear forefoot, he murdered them in clusters. The toads went bop, the frogs went Hop, slap dash into the water, and the beasts com mitted suicide to save themselves from slaughter."

Topeka tinners have given notice of a demand for a 15 per cent, increase in wages to begin Slay 1 and there is good prospect that their demand will be ac ceded to without opposition on the part of the builders and others who employ this sort of labor. The demand for in creased wages on the part of the tin ners is said to be general over the state. The schedule in Kansas is lower than in other states and the idea is to bring it up to the level prevailing elsewhere.

SOCIALISTS HEARD FROM. They Will Hold Seventh District Convention March 30. By far the largest congressioanl con vention to be held in the Seventh dis trict will be the Socialist that is. if every county sends its full delegation. As one delegate can hold proxies for all the rest of the delegates from his coun ty, or for the full delegation from any other county for that matter, it is prob able that the actual number of persons present will not be large. The Socialist convention will be held at Hutchinson on Monday. March 30. It will be the first convention held. No primaries or county conventions are necessary, so the convention can be held as soon as it is desired. The basis of representation in the con vention is one delegate for each vote cast for Christopher Bishir for congress man in the election last fall, provided that no county shall have less than two delegates. Several counties 'cast no votes at all for the Socialist ticket last fall, and each of them is given two dele- i gates in the congressional convention, i which makes a convention of twenty two delegates more than the number of Socialist votes cast last fall. Christopher Bishir of Hutchinson, the nominee last fali. is again a candidate and will probably be nominated. Sedg I wick county will have 129 votes in the convention and Reno county lUi. Sum ner will have 55; McPherson. 43: Harper, 0' Ness, 42; Kingman. 35; Rice, 33; Harvey, 21; Stafford, 18; Barber, 16; Pawnee, 12; and the other counties less than 10 each. This represents the So cialist strength last fall in these coun ties. SEAMAN IN SABETIIA. Topeka Preachers Change Rev. Ed win Locke Presiding Elder. The Rev. Floyd J.

San Francisco. March 17. W Tt. Bent ley, a missionary who has been for t number of years in Shanghai, has just arrived here. Speaking of the situation in Chi Li he said: "The latest atrocity committed by the boxers was the murder of three mi-"-' sionaries in the province of Chi Li Ad the missionaries are flocking into the cities, as the country is no lonser safe for foreigners. "The boxer movement in China has two distinct phases. In southern Chin.! the movement is against the dynasty, wnue in tne north tne cry is 'down with I the foreigners.' The entire movement i3 not actuated by the boxers, but by a j class known as the reform party. The I Cantonese in southern China have al ways been hostile to the present dynas ty. This is because the Cantonese so abroad and imbibe foreign ideas. Their j movement is anti-dynastic. In the j northern provinces there is an anti j foreign feeling, mingled w ith the hatred of the dynasty. "Throughout China there is a lack of co-operation among the reformers and probably for some time to come the out breaks will be of small proportions." t Li r cji in ir inc. rurAL GRAIN COFFEE In comparing Grain-O and coffee remember that while the taste is the same Grain-O gives health and strength while coffee shatters the nervous system and breeds disease of the digestive organs.
