II. C. A. The' dates lor that gathering pre Hum Thursday, April 2ft, to Sunday, May Owing to the remarkably wide field from which the programme committee feas had to draw the array of names displayed upon the announcements for the conference is really astonishing. To the Intel national committee of t as fcoiiaticm belongs the credit of securing the l.sit of Ihesident Roosevelt to Tu peka. He comes primarily as the guest of the convention, although state, an 1 municipal officers will lend all their a'-Fisranc-e for his entertainment.

Nicholl of the Rochester Street railway, and Charles S. Glee.l, director of the Santa Fe. More than to any other address by mn engag"d in Y. M. C. A. work, the officers of the local association are look ing forward to the appearance of Frea R. Smith of New York. Mr. Smith is secretary of the religious work depart ment of the International committee of the Railroad Y. M. C.

Czar Will Now Take W hat He Wants by Foree. A CALL FOR ACTION. President and Cabinet Will Meet in St Louis. To Discuss Eastern Situation and Other Matters. Pekin, April 28. China has given Russia what the officials describe as a final and definite refusal to accept her demands regarding Manchuria. Tokio. April 2.S. The Jiji today pub lished a. dispatch from Pekin in which its correspondent quoted the Russian minister as saying that the effect of the remonstrances of Jaiian and the other powers would be that the statesmen now paramount in St. Petersburg would decide to incorporate the three provinces of Manchuria in the Russian empire. Washington, April 28. An important conference between the siresident and the members of his cabinet will be held in St. Louis probably on Wednesday night.

These will include Russia's attitude in Manchuria, the developments in the in vestigation of the postoffice department, and some departmental matters upon which the president will have to pass. Since leaving Yellowstone Park the president has been in close touch with Washington. Communications between him and the heads of departments have been exchanged daily, both by mail and telegraph. A batch of important documents for his signature was forwarded to him today. Included in the lot are some im portant commissions. It is not unlike ly that some penriir-g appointments may be agreed upon at the St. Leiuis con ference, but they probably will not be announced until after the return of the members of the cabinet to Washington. STRENGTHENS HER FLEET. England Is Sending WiL-ships to the Orient. TBy Pacific Cable. Honolulu. April 2. The British war ship Amphioni and the torpedo boats Sparrow Hawk and Virago have ar rived here from Victoria. The vessels will be convoyed to Hong Kong by the Amphitrite. which is also in the har bor. On the arrival of these vessels in Asiatic waters, the already powerful fleet which Great Britain maintains in the Orient will be greatly strengthened. It is learned from British naval offi cers and sailors that Great Britain con templates making immense additions to the Asiatic station in many ways. While it is not stated as a fact, it ap pears to be the opinion of those who should oewel! informed in naval mat ters that-Great Britain's increasing ac tivity in the east is largely1 due to the poiie'y of Russia, which has added to hot armaments in Asia to such an extent as to present a serious ouestion as to her intentions in Manchuria and other places where her power seems to be growinz to an extent displeasing anel alarming to the other powers concerned in the development eif Oriental trade.

Much preparation had been made in this city for the president's coming and he was greeted by probably 50,000 peo ple who lined the streets ou both sides for a mile and a half along the route of the carriage drive. Elaborate dec orations of bunting and flags were hung from every, building and from every Hagstatf in the city "Old Glory" float ed proudly. At the union station the great west arch was festooned with bunting, which surrounded an immense painting of the president. Another pain Ling, framed in the national tri colors, was placed over the carriage way through which the president's par- ty passed. At the entrance to the train shed was hung a banner of welcome, i The reception committee which met the president, was composed of board of governors of Knights of Ak-S.ar-Ben i together with Senators Millard and Dietrich, Governor Mickey, Congress man Hitchcock. Congressman Mercer, Mayor Moores and General Manderson. The military escort was headed by a platoon of police. The drive through the city lasted half ah hour, several of the downtown business streets being tra versed. The drive ended at the Omaha club, where a banquet lasting an hour and a half was given the president and his party. Covers were laid for ninety persons, among whom were prominent members of the Ak-Sar-Ben and dis tinguished citizens of the city. General Manderson presided and introduced the president. After the banquet at the club the president and his party were escorted to the Coliseum, which is two miles from the business portion- of the city. Although the start was not made un til 8 o'clock thousands again turned out to cheer the president and catch a glimpse of his face. When he reached the big auditorium it was crowded to its capacity. The building was elab oratelyy decorated in national and Ak-Sar-Ben colors. When the president and his party entered, a band struck up "Hail to the Chief," and he w-as ac corded a tremendous ovation. The president devoted most of his speech to the question of good citizen ship and went over very fully and thoroughly the ground he has hereto fore covered on this subject. He also delivered a brief eulogy on the life of General IT. S. Grant, it being the anni versary of his birth. Omaha, is threat ened with an industrial strike on May 1, and the president was asked to say something bearing on this subject. The following was delivered in response to this request: "If I might give a word cf advice to Omaha I should like to see your daily press publish in full the concluding portion of that renort of the anthracite ccal strike e-ommifFion signed by all 1he members I thereof by those in a special sense the i chempions of the wage worker and by those in a sneeial sense identified with enn ital. organized or unorganized, because mcp and women ot umatia, inoe iwi""--did ret speak first as capitalist or as la bor, eiid not sneak first as judge, as army man. as churchman.: but they spoke, -ill of them unanimously signed that report, ail of them as American citizens anxious to see rieht and justice prevail. No one oualitv will get us out of any difficulty. We need more than one: we reeel a go id manv. We need, as I said, the riowr of each man honestly trying to look at the problem from his fellows' standpoint. Cap italist and wage worker alike should hon estly endeavor each to look at any matt?r from the other's, standpoint, with "a free dom on the one hand from the contempti ble arroeance which looks flown upon the man of less means and on the other evom the no less contemptible rnvv. jealousy and rancor which hates another because he is better off. Each duality is the com plement of the other, the supplement cf the other, and in point of baseness there is not the weight of the finger to choose Hc tween them. Look at the report signed bv those men: look at it in the snir't H which they wrote it and if you can or.lv make vourelvep, anproach the problems of today in the spirit that those men, your fellows, showed in approaching the great problem of yesterday any problem or prob lems will be solved. "Any man who tries to excite class hate, sectional hate, hate of creeds, any kind o; hate in our community, though he mav af fect to do it in the interest of the class lie is addressing, is in the long run with abo solute certainty that class' own worst en emy. In the long run and as a whole we are going to go up or go down together. Of course there will be individual exceptions, small, local exceptions, exceptions in kind, excepticms in place, but as a whole if the commonwealth prospers some measure of the prosperity comes to all of us. If it is not prosnerity, then the adversity, though it may be unequally upon us, will weigii more or less upon all. "It lies upon ourselves to determine our own fate." RAINED AT DES MOINES, President Spoke in Open Air to 10,000 People. Des Moines, la., April 28. Rain began falling here at an early hour this morn ing and with the predictions of a possi ble cold wave from the north, the re ception given to President Roosevelt was marred to a considerable extent. The president's train arrived in the .city promptly at 2":20 this afternoon. It was preceded by the special train of Gover nor A. B. Cummins, bearing the state house officials and members of the gov ernor's staff. The arrival of the dis tinguished visitors was announced to the city by the firing of cannon from the state house grounds and the ringing of bells. At the Union depot the streets were packed with humanity. Cheers greeted the president as he approached the carriage, leaning upon the arm" of Governor Cummins. The line of march originally consisted of a drive of several miles through the business and residence sections of the city. The first stopping place was at the auditorium, which was filled with members of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine and their friends. Here the pres ident was introduced by Lafe Young, who made the speech at Philadelphia, nominating the president for the vice presidency. After a stop of a few mo ments the presidential party was driven to the state house grounds and here the rresident delivered in the open sir a speech to 10.000 people. He was. intro duced by Congressman J. A. T. Hull. Immediately at the conclusion ot tne address he was driven to his train and departed for Oskaloosa. ROOT WILL BE HERE. Has Arranged to Accompany Presi dent Through Kansas. Washington, April 28. Secretary Root received a telegram from President Roosevelt asking him to accompany the presidential party through Kansas. The secretary has accepted and will go as far as he can, saving enough time to be present at the militia gathering at Col umbus, May 4. crowotoTe big Heavy Sale for the Firemen's Benefit Tonight. An Excellent Programme Been Prepared. Has There has been an immense advance sale of seats for the Firemen's benefit this evening, and the chances are that the big Auditorium will be crowded. "We've had a good sale," said Chief Wilmarth today, "but I guess there will be room for more. I don't expect to see the building entirely full." The lantern and equipment is expected to arrive from Chicago this afternoon, toge?ther with the man who will deliver the lecture, or explanation of the vari ous pictures. Steinberg's orchestra will furnish mu sic, the orchestral effects in connection with the views being very important. It is the clatter of the horses' hoofs, the rumble of the fire engines and the clang of the bells which lends excitement to the moving pictures of the fighting of fire. Will Badders, who is well known in Topeka as a former resident here, will manage the moving picture lantern for the show. Mr. Badders has been in the moving picture business for some years since leaving Topeka. and owns several valuable stereopticons and polyscopes. Of course the big feature of the even ing will be the pictures of the runs made by the Topeka fire department. The following views have been marie of the Topeka department, and will be ex hibited tonight: Hose wagon and chemical engine leav ing station No. 1, North Topeka. Quick hitch by the lire boys at. sta tion No. 4. Hook and ladder truck making its get-away from station No, 3. Hose, chemical engine and aerial truck comine out of department head quarters. Grand exhibition run by all the ap paratus in Topeka. The run was made on Quincy street, the equipment turning into the street from Sixth and Seventh. The camera, was placed at Eighth. "Returnir.e from the Are." Parade) of all the apparatus before the camera. Exhibition drill by aerial truck com pany; raisin the ladder, and throwing a stream of water. SHOW A REAL RUNAWAY. It is probable that the last picture of the aerial truck drill will show some thing which was not on the programme It will show a real little runaway of the hose wagon from North Topeka. The runaway was seen by a great many people, and it looked for a few minutes as if it might be serious. The hose wagon brought a line of hose from the hydrant at Seventh and Quincy while the aerial truck was being raised in front of the moving picture camera. After the hose had been pulled off the wagon, and was being carried up on the aerial, the team hitched to the hose wagon started to run away. No one was watching it. The team made a sharp curve, yanked the wagon up onto the sidewalk in front of the Auditorium, and executed a complete turn on the sidewalk, without anyone to direct the move. Three or four firemen rushed in front of them, and stopped the trouble, but it is believed that the whole thing will appear in the moving pictures to be shown tonight.

Faction Fatoring Sale to Nation al Life After Proxies. L'p to May 15, the trustees of the Kansas Mutual Life Insurance com pany will be receiving bids on $11,500, 000 worth of insurance written by that company, and on June 1, there will be a meeting of the policy holders of the Kansas Mutual to consider these bids, and act upon them. Monday the trustees) gave public an nouncement of the meeting to be held on June 1 in the following notice, which will be published in the newspapers iis the way notices of stockholders' meet ings are usually published: "In pursuance to a decree rendered by the circuit court of the United States for the district of Kansas, first division, on fhe 23rd day of March, A. D. 1903, m the cause of Donald M. Duggan et al against John P. Davis et al, the policy holders of the Kansas Mutual Life Insurance company are hereby notified that a. special meeting of said policy holders is hereby called to meet at the office of the company, situated on the southwest corner o Seventh and Jackson streets in the city of Topeka, Kan., on the 1st day of June, A. D., 1903, at 2 o'clock p. m. or at such other place in said city to which said meeting may be adjourned, for tha purpose of determining whether said company shall be reorganized, or its business reinsured in some responsi ble life insurance company, or whether it shall go into liquidation and the as sets of said company distributed pro rata among the policy holders thereof according to their respective interests. The said meeting may be adjourned from day to day and time to time un til its business shall be completed. "The trustees have called for pro posals from solvent life insurance com panies a.uihonzed to do business in tne state of Kansas for a reinsurance of the policy holders. As soon as these have been receivd, they, together with other plans looking to the reorganiza tion and the interests of the policy holders of the company will be sent to each of the policy holders by the trus tee;;, together with a summary of their report concerning the condition of the Kansas Mutual Life Insurance com pany, in ample time for the considera tion" by the policy holders before the meeting called by this notice. "In witness whereof, the undersigned trustees, in pursuance of said dee-ree and order of said court have hereunto set their hands this 27th day of April, 1903. "OYTtUS LELAN'D. "GEO. E. COLE. "WILLIAM W. HOOPER." MAY RE KEPT SECRET. George Cole, the member of the board of trustees who is in active control ot the company, was asked today whether the trustees would make public, or send to the policy holders a statement show ing the various bids submitted, and propositions for reorganizations. He saiel: "I don't think anything will be given out except the final report of the trus tees concerning the financial eonriititin of the company. That report will be ready within a. week or ten days. The trustees have fixed May 15 as the date upon which all bids must be in, and I suppose that the bids will be opened upon that date. Whether or not these propositions will be communicated to the policy holders rests with the court, but my understanding is that they will not be made public until the meeting of the stockholders, or policy holders, on June. 1." "Were invitations to submit bids sent to all insurance companies authorized to do business in the state of Kansas?" "Yes. they were all included. We sim ply notified them that we had $11,500,000 insurance in effect which we would be pleased to have them bid upon, and fixed May 15 as the date upon which bids should be received." WILL BE MANY BIDDERS. "My impression is that there will be a large number of bidders," said Mr. Cole. "However, I don't know about that." Under the order of the court each bidder must accompany his bid with a certified check or cash in the sum of $25,000. This money wdll be declared forfeited if the bidder fails to carry out his agreement. Mr. Cole was asked how it would ba determined, in case the stockholders of the company vote to go into liquidation, just what proportion of the assets should be paid to each policy holder. "That is a matter for the court to determine," said Mr. Cole. "The theory is that the assets of the company arj sufficient to pay the cash surrender value of each policy." There is a strong; sentiment among, some members of the company that tha only safe way out of the present difli culty is to throw the company into li quidation, and pay each policy holder his portion of the assets. This would be all right for the younger policy holders, who can get new insurance, but it would be a hard blow to the: old mem who might in this way be frozen out of the possibility of protection. OLD AGENTS WORKING HARD. The old agents of the Kansas Mutual are working hard to secure proxies for the June 1 meeting in behalf of the Morrill-Mulvane-Wilder faction. Thiq faction represents John P. Davis and the Kansas Union, which has now pass ed into the hands of the National Life: Insurance company, a Chie-ago concern. If Morrill, Mulvane and Wilder can se cure a majority of the proxies, it means that Davis, Moon and Wellcome, the old Kansas Mutual officers, will be restored, to power, but simply as Kansas agents for the National Life Issurance com pany. The old agents of the Kansas Mutual have probably been assured that, if th:r National Life gets control of the situ ation, all these old agents will be re tained. They are therefore busy solic iting proxies in their immediate locali ties, and are said to be having consii erable success.

IS STILL A BUSY MAN. Suits of This Character Now Ponding' in Court of Appeals. War Department Desires Those to Be Decided First. Washington, April 2S. The attention of the war department has been called to the activity of Oberlia M. Carter, formerly captain of engineers now con fined in the penitentiary at Ft. Leaven worth, Kan., in acting as attorney in the preparation of cases and petitions of habeas corpus of prisoners wrjo claim' they are illegally confined in the Leavenworth prison. The claim is made that the prisoners were sentenced to be confined in Eilibid, Manila, or Altraiaz, Cala., which are military prisons and being transferred to a federal prison not under military con trol vitiates sentences. Cases of this character already are pending in the circuit court of appeals and the war department thinks it would be well to have them decided before any more habeas corpus proceedings of a like character are brought. A letter will be written to the attorney general sug gesting that the warden of the prison cause Carter to desist. LEAVENWORTH END OF THE STORY. Leavenworth. Kan., April 2S. Ober lin M. Carter, ex-captain of engineers, is a very busy man at present. In ad dition to acting as clerk in the federal penitentiary and hospital and llorist. which does not require a great deal of his time, he is engaged in preparing' k-KfU habeas corpus petitions for other military prisoners, to enable them to Ret out of the penitentiary. Carter is doing this with the consent of the prison officials, who, in fact, send the prisoners to Carter fov consultation, as all prisoners have the right to petition. Carter was sentenced for frauds in connection with harbor improvements at Savannah, Ga. Within the last few weeks military prisoners in the United States civil pen itentiary at Fort Leavenworth have rais-'d the question that they cannot be confined in a civil penitentiary after once undergoing confinement in a mil itary prison, such as either Bilibid at Manila or Alcatraz island, near San Francisco. And, it might be mentioned, I most of them served a short time at either of those prisons, and their place of confinement was afterward changed to the civil penitentiary at Fort Leav enworth. Eight military prisoners have insti tuted habeas corpus proceedings with in the last week, and about twenty more are anxious to do so. Aside from his legal work in connection with these habeas corpus suits Carter is devoting some thought to the government civil suit pending against him in the United States circuit court in Chicago. This suit was set for trial last December, but when it was called a postponement was granted on the suggestion of the attor neys for the government. It is now be lieved that the case will not come to trial before the release of Carter from th? penitentiary, next November. This is a suit wherein property and bonds of Carter's amounting to $723,000, some of which have been attached by the government, have been placed in escrow to be determined if Carter or the gov ernment is entitled to it. CHURCH MEMBERS FCSS. Wichita Brother Thinks a Sister Has Defamed His Good Name. Wichita, April 2S. Another libel suit, growing out of a quarrel between mem bers of the Wichita I'niversaHst church, has been tiled in the district court. In it Dr. J. W. Hutton. one of the defendants to the suit brought April li by Laura Buck-waiter, i the plUntiff, and Mrs. BuckwHiter is the defendant. Dr. Hutton alleges that Mrs. Buekwaiter charged htm with stealing and embezzling certain funds belonging to the church, of which botn were members, and sues to recover $5, the amount to which he considers that his ;rood name and reputation were damaged bv her. In his petition Dr. Hutton sets up that he has always borne a good imputation in this vicinity, and that an attempt was made to injure the same hy Mrs. Buck waiter. He alleges that about the middle of Oct 'her. Yn-2. the defendant asked one Sarah M. Wilder what had become of the money taken in by the. I'niversalist church at tne meetings known as the Rexford me-iiugs. held previous to that conversa tion.

Wellington, April 8. The Mail says: Three men turned 26 coyote scalps in to Countv Clerk Lichtenberger today. They came from the south part of the county. M. D. Crittenden, who lives just north of South Haven, led the procession with ten scalps. W. P. Miller, who lives near Cor bin, came up with eight. Two of his were pups that were stiii alive. They were crawling around the county clerk's office in the afternoon waiting for Will Wamp ler, the janitor, to get ready to kill them. Then came J. F. Wicker, a brother-in-law to J. F. Amick. who lives just west of South Haven, with the scalps of seven covote pups and the pelt of the mother. He had run the old one into her hole and had quite a time to kill her, firing about a dozen shots into her body before accom plishing his purpose. An examination of the bills on file in the county clerk's office shows that tip to date 5s covote scalps have been delivered to the countv clerk so far this month. They call for a" bounty of one doilar per scalp. Bailey and Smith at Ottawa. Ottawa, Kan., April 2. Governor Bailey and Senator Fred Dumont Smith, of Kinsley, have accepted invi tations to speak in Ottawa on the com ing Fourth of July celebration. The Topeka Flambeau club has been en gaged.

House in Guernsey Island Has Ten ants of e.n Uncanny Character. Paris, April 28. There is on Guernsey island, at St. Pierre Post, a house where there are such mysterious goings on that the whole town is stirred up. But an obstinate photographer, who has set up his worksbip there, is unshaken in his determination to remain, though when he sits down at the table to regale the inner man arms, without the sign of a body, appear all around him, snatch up the plates and send them whirling to the ground. The paintings along the walls shake in unearthly fashion. One evening the photographer's daughter saw a ghost going downstairs before her. It had only one hand and the fingers, twice as long as ordinary ones, were covered with blood. Another time an obliging ghost Indicated to the girl hv a gesture where she would find a brooch of her mother's, for which she was looking. The town police tried to search the house, but the ghosts played such tricks they were forced to withdraw. A cour ageous townsma-n. who spent a night in the house with his dog. came off with out other adventure than a knock on the knee. He has offered $50 to anyone who will pass a night there in his com pany to whom a ghost appears. Scared to Death by Bogie."

Pitchers Object to the New Rule Which Handicaps Them. In Regard to Keeping One Foot at the Plate. PUZZLES THE UMPIRES Sheridan Made White a Victim at St. Louis. Rule Will. Cause Worlds of Trouble to Slabmeu. Chicago, April 28. The News says: Baseball rule SD The pitcher shall take his position facing the batsman with both feet sctuare on the ground and in front of the pitcher's plate: but in the act of delivering the ball to the bat one foot must be in contact, with the pitcher's plate. He shall not raise either foot unless in the act of deliver ing the ball to the bat nor make more than one step in such delivery. "There is a weakness in this rule which I hoped would not be apparent so early in the season," said Jim Hart of the National league rules committee this morning. "That is, when there is no ba runner the pitcher is not pun ished for making a balk other than it is caiied neither a ball nor a strike. I be lieve in such cases the illegal ball Ditched should be called a ball. Now the only thing an umpire can do with a base runner on the bags is to advance him one bag for each balk. "The rule strictly interpreted means that one foot should be in contact with the slab and both feet should be in front of the slab and within the lines at right angles to the end of this slab. A pitcher need not have both, heels on the slab and he can, of course, stand one foot in advance of the slab foot. He must face the batsman, according to the rules. "This pitcher's rule was suggested. I believe, by Dreyfuss, or possibly Ned Hanlon. and Pulliam has worked it out strictly." Harry Pulliam is in the city, by the way, and the point will doubtless be discussed during- this present time. St. Louis, April 28. Umpire Sheridan made the first official ruling on the new rule adonted by the joint committees of the American and National leagues re quiring the pitcher to keep both feet even with the rubber plate in the box. According to the new rule, the pitcher cannot sten back of the rubber when winding up preparatory to delivering the ball. White unintentionally hunched a little yesterday in his effort to comply with this rule, and Sheridan called a balk on him. At first he rermitted the batter to so to first as well as the man on first to advance, but when Manager Callahan nrotested the batter was sent back to the plate. This rule will cause worlds of trouble for the slahmen this season, and inci dentally for the umpires, too. Scarcely a pitcher can help being: affected by it. Any man who denends on a swing for his sDeed will find himself handicapped in complying with its requirements. Men who follow the Griffith style of de livery will probably be affected least, but thev are few. It is only a auestion of a short time until the pitchers will be master of the situation again, just as thev have al ways conquered the handicaps placed on them from time to time, but most of them will have to learn a new style of delivery to attain their former speed, and until that is accomplished the bat ter will have the Ions: end of the stick. All pitchers are complaining of it now. M'COY CRIES FOUL." Arrives in New York and Says the Referee Did Him Up. New York, April 28. "Kid" McCoy and Jack Root of Chicago will be matched in a few days to engage in an other limited round bout for a side bet of $5,000 and the largest purse offered. McCoy and his manager, George Grant, had a talk with Lou Housman, mana ger of Root, after the termination of the ten-round bout between Root and McCoy in Detroit and agreed to another match for the above-mentioned side bet. McCoy arrived in town last night from Detroit anrt clnimpfl Vio ii-ci shamefully treated by Referee Bat tttascerson tnrougnout tne contest. He claims Fcoot struck him a foul blow in the second round, from which he prac tically never recovered his strength. He further stated Masterson is not capable of filling the position of referee, and that he will never again get the chance to officiate in any contest in which he is a principal. WITFUL WILL SOON START. Crack Filly May Be Able to Run Again in Two Weeks. Memphis, Tenn., April 28. "Witful will be ready to face the starter in two weeks." S. C.

Shanklin of the Kentucky Trot ting Horse Breeders' association has just completed tabulating the list of mares nominated m the famous Ken tucky Futurity for foals of 1903 to be decided in 103 and 1903. The table HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS Is entitled to the highest praise as a family medicine if you judge it by its merit and record of cures during the past fifty years. No other remedy can take its place because it is the best that science can produce as a cure for Belch ing, Heartburn, Indigestion, Bilious ness, Dyspepsia, Insomnia, and Nerv ousness. It is also an excellent tonic and blood purifier. Don't fall to try it. It has never been known, to fail. shows that this great Kentucky trot ting event is increasing in popularity, since 221 more mares were named this year than last, when all previous rec ords were smashed. The number last March was 1,145, but this March it was swelled to 1.36B. An important fact is that this stake will be worth $22,0u0, $1,000 having been added to the pacing division and this event made for 3-year-old pacers instead of for 2-year-olds, as it has been in the past. The value c the 2-year-old division for trotters re mains at $5,000, but the 3-year-old trot ting division has been cut to $14,000. KANSAS MAN WON. Jim Ferns Given Decision Over Mat thews at Buffalo.

The victory of Lou Clievenden at 60 to 1, with a suckling colt in her stall, proved a rich er harvest for bookmakers than was supposed. Inquiry about the ring to day showed that George Rose, who makes the biggest book, won $5,500; Bill Jackman also cleaned up $3,500; Frank Eckert, $1,500: Bill Riley. $1,000; Oley Evans, $1,500- Gus Bluhm, $600; and so on down tne line to "one-tvvo-three" Martin, who won $100 on the day. Jim Davis, one of the largest and most conservative pencilers in the 'ring, was the only loser, his sheet showing ?830 to tne bad. At that Jim was satisfied. as at one time he was $3,000 to the bad. Considine Acting for'Corbett. New York, April 2S. According to Geo. Considine, Young Corbett's next battle of importance will be with Benny YangcF in Detroit in June. Considine says Corbett already has consented to ngnt Yanger there and" all that is re quired now to make the battle a fixture is for Yanger to agree. This, it is thought, he will do, as he is anxious to fight the champion. Corbett is due in the east in about two weeks. When he arrives here he may make another match. Considine says his offer to match Corbett against Terry McGovern again for $10,000 a side, provided Terry will agree to wager that sum, still holds good. Sir Liang a Curve Pitcher. Washington, April 28. Sir Liang, the Chinese minister, who succeeded the wonderful Wu Ting-Fang, is evidently determined to live up to his predeces sor's high water mark of popularity with the American people. Possibly hir Liang has no press agent, but if he hasn't it is because he does not seem to need one. Comes there now a New Yorker, one F. B. Forstberg of name, who calmly states that Sir Liang can pitch a curve ball that is a wonder, and that when it comes to "rooting" for the home team, Sir Liang is all right. Racing at Frisco. San Francisco, April 2S. The best con tested race at Oakland was the fourth, at a mile and seventy yards. Ishtar and Ken ilworth set a merry pace the greater part of the wav, but in the stretch the filly fal tered. Bvron Rose came with a rush and won by a" head from Mocorito. Kemlworth made a greatly improved showing and fin ished third. Rose of May proved a sur prise hv taking the six furlongs event, at odds of 20 to X. Slv, the favorite, was pooi Iv handled bv Buxton and finished in the ruck. St. Winifrede, winner of the first race was bid up from $400 to $vX by V. H Smith, owner of Blissful, but-W. B. Sink, jr., retained her. Racing at St. Louis. St. Louis, April 38. Sylvia Talbot, Glen water and Sir Christopher were the win ning favorites of a fair card at Kinloch park Svlvia Talbot was doing her best to beat "out Bridge a nose on the po3t.

There was current a report that the stockholders cf the Mexican Central were dissatisfied with the net earnings made last year. The reports of the company show that there has been a laree increase in tne gross earnings, which, however, did not seem to re lieve the dissatisfaction of the owners.

Chicago-New York Lines Will Not Reduce Grain Kates. Chicago. April 24. The ruling of the iut' rstate commerce commission that i the recent advance in the rate on grain j and strain products is not justified w ill j be ienote.J by the Chuago-Xe w York roads. They take the petition that the commission has nothing to do with ratts. For years they say the commis sion has been trying to get authority from congress t) make rates, but it has always been denied. j The function of the commission." said j an eastern traffic manager yesterday, i as to decide whether a rate is discrim- ir.ative. and whether lower rates are i given to some shipf-ers than to others. K ri in such case the commission has to bring suit in the courts to enforce its ruling if the road refus.-s to obey." j "The position taken by the interstate commerce commission is inconsistent and will not be upheld by the courts," said a traffic official. "In its ruling it says the advance in the rates on iron-. I steel, packing house products and dressed beef is not unreasonable, al- I though the rates on these articles were i advanced from 25 t 54) per cent, while the advance in strain rates docs not amount to over 10 per cent." j "It is probable," said this official, j "that at our meeting here next Wednes- i day a reduction w ill be made in the' eastbound rates on Hour, but this will not be on account of the decision of the i commission, but because of existing 1 traffic conditions, which make it neces- j I siiry to afford reiief to the Minneapolis I i millers." It is not believed that the railroads i w ill be able to maintain the present I high rates for any great length of time, S because the gulf roads are .averting the grain traffic more and more from the eastern trunk lines. Much of the ex- port grain which formerly went to New York now goes to -New Orleans ana Galveston. i A GOOD SLEEPER. Experience 'Which, a Santa Pe Divis- ion Superintendent Ones Had.

Say3 Ho Owns Part of Santa Pe Tarda at Earstow. San Bernardino, Ca!., April 3. There is an interesting suit coming up in the local courts toraorroiv. It involves the title to a portion of the yards at Bar stow. The Santa Fe railroad is the piamtiff and Charles O.'Uonnell, an old miner, is the defendant. The company claims the land in dispute under an act of congress, which gave the railroads the right to locate 2u acres, for depot grounds, every ten miles along the route of the road. O'Dennell claims the land under a mining- location, which he took out over years ago. Ever since he has occupied the land, having run a tunnel in the mountains over 200 feet. His original filing was destroyed by lire which burned down a cabin, and in May of I.SS3, he recorded another fidng in the county clerk's office, but 16 days earlier the company had filed its depot location ami now has a patent from the government. The portion in dispute is occupied by numerous shacks built by the section crew and there are also three switch tracks on the property. The company removed its large water tank from the land some time ago and had intended to locate the shops there, but the trouble over the title prevented this. The late general manager, Ke vins, had about made a settlement with O'E.erineU. but the former's death pre vented this going through, and since then General Manager Wells has re fused to compromise. Attorney H. M. Willis is O'Donnell's attorney, and was in Los Angeles yesterday taking depo sitions for the case. OUT OF THE ORDINARY. Southern Pacific Lets Out 1,000 of Its Shopmen.

Los Angeles. Ogden, Tucson and Portland. The reason giv en for this redu.-tion is a lack of work arai a consequent desire to save ex penses. By this reduction the company will save fully ST-V'Xi a month in wages. N. H. Foster, assistant to Manager Agier. said last night that it was noth ing new for the company to let out a number of men at this time of the year. Work was slack just now. and that was the only reason for discharg ing any of the men. .When work in the shops improved, he said, the men let out would be taken back. It may be three or four months before any of them are re-empioyed. EAIHBUHX'S SUCCESSOR. Many Possible Candidates for Super intendent at Atchison. Atchison, Kas., April iS.

MORE "DKY" TOWNS. Results of Recent Elections Indicate Passing of Legalized Joints. The State Temperance Union has been collecting data as to the result of the recent municipal elections in Kan sas as it related to the enforcement of the prohibitory law, and the current fi nue of the Kansas Issue, the organ of the union, contains the following: One hundred and sixty towns of 500 people and over have reported to the union the results of the recent spring election. Classifying the towns in vari ous ways we find, first, that of the lSi3 towns reporting 20 of the formerly "wet'' towns went "dry," while only 5 of the formerly "dry" towns went "wet." Again. 51 of the formerly "dry" towns went "!ry" and 5ti of the form erly "wet" towns went "wet." In 21 of the loo towns the reports indicate an uncertainty as to the attitude of the in coming administration toward the en forcement of 'the prohibitory law. The probable condition during the coming year was reported better in 53 towns and worse in only 45 towns. The reports were tabulated conserva tively. F4;,r instance, where the incom ing administration was reported as "not particularly interested." "indifferent." "neutral," "favorable to temperance, but not active." "lukewarm," apathe tic," "slack." etc., we have counted such towns in the "wet" list unless 4th er statements in the reports make it clear that they were "dry." In a number of instances where the administration last year was "dry" and the new administration is also "dry." the new condition was reported as even "better"' than the old. In some cases the new administration was not re ported as "dry" but as more favorable to law enforcement than the old. We find ST of the 16') towns are in a de cidedly hopeful condition, because eith er the law- will be enforced or the situ ation is more hopeful than it was last year. Reports from towns of less popula tion than Soti would doubtless make the sh.owing better. The reports that we have, however, are most encouraging and show that the comments are well founded which are being made ail over the lanii on the endorsement given by Kansas to prohibition at her recent spring elections. Danger of Colds and Grip. The greatest danger from colds and gri.-t j is tneir resulting in pneumonia.

Attorney General Coleman in Wash ington to Argue It. Attorney General Coleman has g4ne to Washington to argue the Kansas eight-hour law case in the United States supreme court. It comes up there on Thursday. This is the case which started in Kan sas City, Kas.. and which the state has w-on successively through every court, until now it is in the highest tribunal in the natiin. W, W. Atkin was a Kan sas City contractor who refused to obey the eight-hour law in his public con tracts. The law provides that contrac tors on public buildings or public works of any character cannot compel their men to work more than eight hours for a day. Atkins was prosecuted for not obeying the law. He lost in the Wyan dotte county district court and appiealed to the supreme court, and the supreme court upheld the law. Then Atkins car ried it to the United States supreme court. X. H. Loomis is employed as counsel for the state in the case t-. assist Mr. Coleman. In the brief of the state Mr. Coleman says: "The eight-hour legislation of the na tion and most of the states is but one phase of the evolution grinding on grad ually from age to age. like the 'mills of the gods.' for the e'.levlation of the condi tions and environments of the people at large. The gigantic strides of advance ment in the invention of labor saving engines have made it possible that the world's men can do the world's work in less time than formerly. One of the br.jad purposes of this legislation is that the laborer may enjoy his shure of the general good resultant from advance ment: and may have his just and fair opportunity to adjust himself and his family to the naturally suggested sub division of the twenty-four hours of the day into three parts eight hours for Work, eight hours for sleep, and eiht for the improvement of the mind -and the enjoyment of social advantages. Within the limits of constitutional cir cumscription, it should be. and has ever been, the purpose of legislatures an.J cohkrresses, and the policy cf the courts, to extend as widely as may be the bendictions flowing naturally to the people from these achievements of gerius: so that 'the man with the hoe' mav no longer be the hopeless, heart rending thine the artist has painted and the poet bemoaned. One of the steps in this progression toward a higher and better plane of living for all people in Kansas was the enactment of the so called 'eight-hour law" of 1S5L For thirteen years this law has been one of the features cf our state legislation. Kvery city, every county, every mu nicipality, which has let a contract, and every contrac-tor who has made a bid therefor, for public work in Kansas, for thirteen years, has d-;r.e so with the full knowledge of the iaw.

Not Possible For Topeka to Se cure Main Line. Great Advantages Hoped for in Freight Hates. Topeka will not secure the main line of the Orient railway, but she may ob tain just freight rates. This was brought out yesterday afr ternoon at Kansas City at an informal conference between A. E. StUwell, pres ident. and M r. Dickinson, general manager of the Orient Kail way company, and several Topeka people. Among the To peka gentlemen present were Joab Mul vane, Herbert Hackney, E. H. Crosby, Major T. J. Anderson, Frank P. Mae Lennan and F. 12. Grimes. A strong effort was made to see if Topeka giving- sufficient inducements could be placed on the direct line of this rail way from Kansas City to the Pacific. One of the Topeka representatives said that he would be willing to take one hundred thousand dollars in the stock of the construction company if we could be put upon the main line. President 'cilwell stated that that would be no inducement. That the principle upon which his line was building was to make it the shortest distance, so far to possible, between Missouri .River points and the western coast. 'it would mean," said Mr. Stilweli, "an additional fifteen miles anda mil lion dollars would not be an induce ment. "We have, liowever." continued Mr. Stilwell, "a very favorable trackage arianuement with the Missouri Pacific by which line we expect to enter To ;)el;a "In regard to any agreement about any reduction in freight 'rates," said Mr Stilwell, "I cannot make any contract or promises. It would be ridiculous, too, Cor me to do so eighteen months before our line is in operation. The only thing I can say is that I am in favor of just and euuitable freieht rates to and from all points on our line. My record with the Kansas City. Pittsburg Oul shows that we made liberal reductions in freieht rat's when our line was opened. We secure 1 -or Kansas City a freight rate on lumber which enabled Kansas City to build up an enormous business in the lumber Industry. This is only one instance. We more than doubled the size -f Shrevenort, La., by giving that town just frei'ht rates."

HAVE THEY FOKGOTTEX J Washburn's Apparent Ingratitude to CoL Sitchie's Memory. The Native Sons of Kansas met last night in the Commercial club rooms. The feature of the meeting was a pa per by Mrs. If. C. Root on Col. John Kitchie, in which she called attention to the apparent ingratitude of the man agement of Washburn college which in reality owes its existence to Col. Ritchie but which-has not so much as named a building for hina. Mrs. Root said that Col. Ritchie mort gaged his own home for money to buy the site for Washburn college, which was certainly a greater sacrifice than any of the people who have since made donations and who have dormitories, libraries and chapels named for them. The part of Mrs. Root's paper bear ing on this question was as follows: "Washburn college is a monument to Col. Ritchie's generosity and of his earnest desire for a Christian church and a Christian education for all races. It had its origin in the general associa tion of the Congregational church com posed of seven ministers and three lay men of whom Col Ritchie was one. He was chairman of the committee on col lege location. He gave the three lots, on the corner of Tenth and Jackson and 1.0C0 toward the erection of the build ing thereon. He also gave the 160 acres on which the college now stands. "It has always seemed to me that Washburn college little appreciated his gift which was in reality the founding of the school, or it would do something in recognition of his valuable efforts and the enthusiasm with which he help ed to found it. It was a great sacri fice to him financially as he mortgaged his home claim to be able to purchase the land. Some of the buildings might at least be named in commemoration of his generosity." Mrs. Root's paper contained many in teresting reminiscences of this ramous Kansas pioneer and she closed with the following words: "His connection with early Kansas history has not always been appreciated. He was often called a crank for he was a man whose opinions were in advance of his day. In character, honest, benev olent. generous, fearless in his expres sion of dipapptoval, a friend and cham pion of the poor and needy. Loyal to his country and an abiding belief in the prosperity and gieatness of Kansas and Top ka. The press has said of him: "Take John Ritchie out from the his tory of Kansas and a golden link is for ever lost from the chain of events from territorial times until the present."

A dispatch to the Ret ord-Herahl from Boston says: Before the memliers of an organization ea'.ltd the Mothers' and Fathers' club, Mary A. Rivermore spoke of "Child Cul !me" lait night and took issue with Pres ioent Roosevelt and President Eliot on the race puieifle question. She said: "We reed to listen more to talk about the culture of fathers and mothers than we d tn the culture of the child, it seems to rr.e. Tin re are two mighty taotors that trPr into the making of individuals and of nations. These factors are heredity and environment. There are men and women who are unfit to be the parents of children. At the present time we have to depend upon n iiomnent. In many cases it is hettfr to tal:e children away from their natural parents so that they' may have a a chance to do better. "The need is not more children, but bet ter ones. It would not be race suicide if we were to have more homes into which only two children were born. Quality and characur signify more than a horde."

Martimlalo Case Won't Be Tried After All. A long continuance in the trial of the case against William Martindale has been granted. In the United States dis trict court Judge Phillips of Kansas City, who occupied Judge Hook's bench for the hearing of the case announced his decision of a motion made by the attorneys for the defense. The applica tion was granted because the defendant claimed not to have had sufficient time for preparation. Judge Phillips also ordered that the two indictments in which the name of William Martindale appears as defendant be consolidated. v'hen Judge Phillips this afternoon announced his intention of granting the continuance District Attornev Dean re quested that the trial of the last indict ment be commenced at once and .that the attorneys for defense be given time to prepare on the former one. Judge Phil lips denied the request and ordered the two indictments merged. The affidavits presented in the application were signed by William Martindale, Judge Graves, R. H. Kellogg, Frank Hagerman, Geo. Plumb, Senator H. B. Millr, J. C. Ran kin of Quenemo, G. G. Hall of Burling ton and F. A. Wright, an expert ac countant who examined the. books of the bank in the interest of the defense. It was November 16. lttS, when the First National bank of Kmporia was closed by order of the comptroller of the treasury. Charles Jobes had been the national examiner to examine the con dition of the institution and he was its first receiver. Charles Cross was presi dent; William Martindale, vice presi dent, and D. W. Davis, cashier. It was the only Emporia bank that ever failed. For two days after the bank was closed the people of Emporia did not realize what had happened. "As good as the Cross bank." had been the expression for stability in Lyon county for twenty five years. An hour and a haif after the bank was closed Charles Cross shot himself in a little rear room at "Sunny Slope" farm, three miles from Emnoria. Stranzers are still shown the sloping shed roof under which he -icided. Cross knew the failure would come. i ifteen years before it occurred H. C. Cross, his father, who had been presi dent before him, commenced the trouble by unfortunate investments. Charles Cross inherited a big Indebtedness upor. an estate valued at about $100,000, and the indebtedness grew through wild in vestments followed by actual pecula tions from the money drawer. A statement published shortly after the failure showed Cross' indebtedness to be divided as follows: Money invested in doubtful enter prises, SlTiO.OOO. P.y manipulation of reserve agents' accounts. JyO.OOO. By cash taken from the drawer, $15, 000. On November 22 a confession written and signed by Cross during the month of May previous when he feared a crash attempted to exonerate every one con nected with the bank except himself. He said he had by ingenious frauds de ceived the other officers and employes of the bank as to his own misapplica tion of funds and that he was alone re sponsible for the failure. The Cross estate was sold to satisfy a part of his indebtedness. William Martindale own ed a larga amount of stock and dis posed of nearly everything he had to meet his personal liability. The Martindale bank is said' to have held nearly $100,000 in worthless paper. Its deposits amounted to more than SaHO.OOO. It was reported insolvent on May 9. 1898, but the officers of the bank were given until November 1 to make good the deficiency. It was through Cross' manipulation of the affairs of the bank that Martindale became implica ted, whether knowingly or otherwise. He stayed and faced the trouble as did also D. W. Davis who was cashier. After the failure criminal charges were made against the two men and in dictments charging Martindale and Davis with misappropriation and mis application of the money and credits of the bank were found by the federal grand jury. After the finding of the first indictment Davis disappeared. He went to Canada or Mexico or some- On The Brain Lost Self Control. Lived in Misery For Ten Years.

Fire- Marshal George C Wilmarth, Who Is in Charge ol the riremen'3 Benefit at the Auditorium Tonight, where else and is still living: in retire ment. Three indictments were found but only two were reported the first not being well substantiated. Martindale luis always retained a larg-e share of the confidence of the people ot' Kmporia and he is still an influential man there, principally through political alli ances formed before thf failure of the bank. He sent J. M. Miller to congress and was friendly to Senator Burton. It was charged for a time that hh? political friendship would allow him to escape in dictment before the grand jury, but Mar t indale instead will have the rhance for exoneration which bis friends always claimed was due him.

If It were for faith, a man might plead the faith of his an cestors, but it is by faith on the pan of The individual. Salvation is a per sonal thins. Salvation is by grace. This fact, however, does not militate against good works. Good works have the same relation to faith as the fruit has to the tree. Rev. William J. Holtzclaw, Bap tist, Atlanta, Ga. THE HOUSE OF MAN. The house of man is his own body when the unclean spirit shall have frone out. It has been cleaned and garnished and stands in dignity and splendor, emancipated from the evil by his re nunciation of all sinning-, and has been left in a freedom of peace. What change may have taken place during the time the evil spirit has been gone? It is not enough to be rid" of the evils; we must be filled with the good. Rev. H. Van Dyke, Presbyterian. Princeton, N. J. THE AGE OF MORAL TEACHING. Moral teaching is the oldest of all knowledge and the widest diffused. It started at Eden's gate, found its way into the oldest Bibles, into the first li braries, pulpits and liturgies. It was the first lesson taught by mother's lips, by father's counsel, by preacher's ad monition not a story book of tiles or fables, but preached that to be happy one must be good, and to be good one must observe the law of God and man. Rev. Dr. Joseph Kraunkopf, Hebrew, Philadelphia. Hil IlNG THE: TARGET. One must see the target before he can take definite aim. Decide, then, what you wish to be and be it Know what you wish to do and do it. Conclude what target you wish to hit and hit it. espe cially those targets which God demand ed you to- hit truth, virtue. Christian character, prayer, love and g-oodness. Woe be to the man who does not take definite aim at each of these and draw a bow with his full strength, for to miss these targets is to miss heaven. Rev. Dr. James Oliver Wilson, Methodist, New York. WHAT WOULD CHRIST DO? Take Christ into your heart and life. Let him be the umpire of pleasure and duty. Heed the words of Mary, when she said to the servants at the feast in Cana, "Whatsoever he says unto you do it." Always live to please him. Al ways ask. What would Jesus do? and do that thing regardless of conse quences. The Christian who is separa ted unto Christ and from the indulgence of all that contaminates is the one truy happy person in this world. Others have the glitter; he has the gold. His abstinence brings more oy than their indulgence, and his indulgence in that which is good multiplies the joy of his riPiinnriirff Arizona. Par Value Si per share. Opportunities In the South.

I The work of collecting the do? tax at the city hall will add very little to j the duties of the city treasurer or city j clerk. The treasurer has plenty of lei- 1 ure time anyway, and the clerk has to keep the dog records now just the same as he would under the proposed new system. The only reason why all of the li- 1. i..,t K t!-..-. .-it,- in the li.nn ordinance can "not be' collected in the i same wav is that considerable book- ki epi'i is necessary to keep track of the miscellaneous license business, and the services of one man are rather nec essary to attend to that work.

Task Is Little Short Stupendous. HIS FARM IS HANDY. Will Have to Draw on Its Con tingent Fund. Satisfied That Politics Is a Bad Business Proposition, What would you thinkif itrequired sev eral months' salary to conduct a cam pnign of house-cleaning- at your house That is what it takes at the governor s residence, and while the state will largely say for it now, the expense of maintaining the establishment will run i up until it will eventually come out oL Governor Bailey's private pocket. There is- a force of 1 men at work at the governor's residence this week. Of course it does not require all of these to do what is strictly known as house-cleaning, but a good number are employed that way. The average per son has little idea of the work there is about cleaning: a house like the gover nor's residence. For instance, the one item of cleaning the curtains cost $6'J. There are nearly a hundred of them, and some are so heavy, but of such fine texture that extreme care has to be ex ercised in cleaning: them. The total ex pense of house-cleaning at the gover nor's residence will mount up to a con siderable sum. And in addition to haii.....L.atn.T 1 1 wnlkn rirrmod the house are being relaid and the interior I woodwork is being- given a tresh coat ot paint in anticipation of President Roosevelt's visit on Friday. Governor Stanley said he ran about a thousand dollars a year behind each vear that he was governor. In other words he left the governor's office 4,0W poorer than he went into it Governor Hailey has made up his mind he will have to do the same thing-. "A man with nothing but his salary to depend on could not afford to live in that house out there," said the governor Heitndav "If he did he would have a mortgage on his life when he got through. Of course, the state makes appropriation for the maintenance of the governor's residence-if it didn't it would bankrupt the average man but even with that appropriation i guess 1 11 have to draw on my contin gent fund from the farm up at Bailey ville. That farm is a mighty good thing to have around in a case of this kind." Governor aBiley does not think the average man ousht to try to hold a public office unless he is financially able to do so aside from the salary he would receive In connection with, the office. If a friend asks him for an appointment with the idea that he will be able to get rich off the salary, the governor dis courages him unless there is some special reason otherwise. "I never encourage a man to take an office unless I know he is in a position where he can afford to hold a public office and is absolutely fitted for the place," said Governor Bailey today. &o many men who want to work for the state are not financially able to hold the places. A man has no business in poli tics unless he has other means of sup port, and I try to discourage the seek ers after rdaees. I have succeeded in talking many of mv friends out of places since I have been in office. They were men to whom I would have been compelled to give positions if they had insisted, but after I had talked to them on the subject I g-enerallv made them see that I was right. I realize that many men believe a public position is a stepping stone to success, but many a young man has taken a place in a public office and, after working there for several years, has been compelled to retire to private life no better off finacially than he was when he took the place, and without a profession or the necessary business training to see him through life. "I never went into politics until I was able to see where I would land in case of a failure to get what I wanted. The business is very expensive. A cam paign for an office is an expensive thing, and a man cannot hope to save mucn monev out of the salary he receives. No man 'who is not comfortably situated financially ought to get into politics, and I am doing all I can to Keep sucn men out of the business." Dr. H. W. Roby. secretary of the state medical board, returned Monday night from Kansas City, Kas.. where he has begun a crusade against illegal medical practitioners. He started in by causing the arrest of C. H. C. Jordan and H. C. Rennett on the charge of practicing medicine without a license duly author- ized by the state medical board. It is said that Kansas City, ivas., is a great place lor quacic ooctoir- m n kinds, and these arrests are only the beginning of a crusade against them. About forty such practitioners have been listed for prosecution and it said that there are still more. The mandamus suit of William Ram bo against Joe I.arrabee, in which the supreme court a few days ago upheld a special act of the legislature and de cided that Iarrabee must make a tran script of record for Rambo in a criminal prosecution in which Rambo was de fendant, and that Wyandottee county must pay the expense of the transcript in accordance with the provision of the new law. will be reopened if County At torney James S. Gibson has his way about it. Mr, Gibson came to Topeka Moniiay afternoon arid filed a motion to this effect. The motion alleges that Wyandotte county had r.o notice at ail of the suit until its decision was announced in the miners. It is also alleged that the county is the partv really interested, as it will have to bear all the expense, and that Tarrabee was not properly repre sented by counsel in the suit. In the Hamlin cas alone the cost of making the transcript will be $600 and there are a number of similar rases pending which could be appealed in the same way and the county would have to pay from fs. im ,i to $10,000 for making transcripts of cases now p -nding alone. This special law was one that was engineered through by Senator J. K. Cubbison, Cubbison is also, it might be explained, attorney for Rambo. The law provides that when a defendant in a criminal prosecution is too poor to pay for making a transcript in his case to "make an appeal to the supreme court, the county must stand the cost, and it applies only to Wyandotte county. The county officers of Wyandotte county do not seem to have known anything about it until a test case was taken to the supreme court and the law was duly upheld. The only point raised, the court says, was that it was special Governor Bailey has offered a re County Attorney Gibson huriied to To- ,f I J CAMERAS l i OUR NEW STOCK OF m rfMh sr mi.

"Colorado has done ouite the proper thing said Mr. Campbell. "Under the present conditions n. na -i" nossible for either state to stump out the disease, as the ranchmen on both sides of the line have been extremely in different to the spread of the disease or the matter of dipping their cattle itii a ouarantine in both Kansas and Colo rado, we hope to be able to stamp out the disease, as that is almost sure, to catch all of them. -We expect to have a meeting ery soon with the Colorado board in regard to this matter. The two boards are working in harmony in regard to the matter, and the action of Colorado should not be regarded as in any sense an act of retaliation. WJthc.ut such action as has been taken by both boards there was danger of serious trouble fmm thic source, but with the co-opera tion of Colorado we hope to be able to stamp out the disease this year. Dip ping vats will be established all along the line, both on the railroads and at other points, and the regulations will be strictly enforced."

SEVERE ATTACK OF GF.IP Cured by One Bottle of Chamberlains Cough Remedy. "When I had an attack of the erm last winter tthe second one) I actually "curd myself with one bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy." says Frank VV. Perry, ed itor ot the Knterpri.se, Shortsville. N. Y. "This is the honest truth. I at times kept from coughing myself to pieces by taking p teaspoonful of this remedy, and w hin the coughing speli would come on at night I would take a dose and it seemed that in the briefest intervnl the cough would pass off and I would go to sleep perfectly free from cough and its accompanying pains. To say that the remedy acted as a most agreeable surprise is putting it miid-1;-. I had no idea that it would or could knock nut the grip, .-imply because I had never tried it for such a purpose, but it did end it seemed with the second attack of coughing the remedy caused it to not only b of less duration, but the pains were far lss severe, and I had not used the con tents of one bottle before Mr. Grip had bid me adieu."

Today a circular letter addressed to the merchants of Topeka is being sent out by the state fair committee of the Commercial club of which J. J. O'Rourke is chairman in the effort to secure financial support foit the state fair proposed to be held in Topeka this fall. The committee has been delayed In getting at its work although the task of raising the guarantee for premiums has not been looked upon as a difficult one. The letter that is beins sent out lays forth the plans for the proposed fair and urges a subscription to the guarantee. Besides asking for a guarantee to back up the premium list .which the management of the fair desires to-pub-lish, Shawnee county has been asked to contribute an additional $5,000 outright to be used in prizes tor exhibitions oi agricultural and manufactured prod ucts. The guarantee asked for this year is similar to the one given by To peka merchants a year ago. Owing to the unexpected success of last year's live stock show this fund was not drawn upon at all. This year's fair is to be given under far more favorable conditions and the guarantee on the live stock premiums will be even more superfluous than it was a year ago. In reviving the agricultural and man ufacturing departments in the state fair the management will secure a very popular feature for their exposition. A live stock show interests but a limited share of the people while a general ex position of industrial products seldom fails to attract. With the generally fa vorable conditions which the fair asso ciation faces assurances of support from Topeka merchants have been eas ilv obtained and no difficulty is antici pated in securing the guarantee sub scriptions and the contributions desired. CHAD HOCK SHOWS FIGHT. Won't Give Up Office of Mayor With out a Contest. W. H. Craddock today f.led his answer in the supreme court in the quo -warranto proceedings brought against him by T. P.. Gilbert to oust him from the office of mayor of Kansas City, Kan. Kx-Chief Justice Dnster is Mayor Craddock's chief consul in the case. Three main reasons are set forth m tc answer: The first is that Gilbert, who was the Republican nominee for mayor in the recent municipal election, and who re-.-plvoit a mnloritv in the election, was a member of the city council and sat on i the canvassing board which canvassed toe returns, which, it is alleged by Craddork disqualifies him from taking the office of mavor: second, the new city charter art doe's not authorize the election cf a mayc.r in cities of more than 5o.J inhabitant:-, and there was no call or proclamation for the election of mayor this spring: thira even if Gilbert was elected he neglected to take the oath of office as prescribed In law within ten days after the canvass was made. The thre reasons are given so if one falls, it is hnped to make one of the others stick. J li case u can in? bert is ineligible to take the office Crad dock would necessarily hold over until his successor is elected and qualities. CLEHKS ARE NEEDED. Only One on Available last at Topeka Postoffice. The Topeka postoftice faces a dearth of available material for mail clerks and carriers. There now exists the unusual condition of having: only one applicant uron the eligible list from which va cancies in the nostoffice may be filled. This rarely occurs. The postal depart ment has authorized an examination foi cierks and mail carriers at the postoftice here on May IS, and entries for the ex amination may be made until the day ii is l-.eld. Requirements for appointment to po sitions as mail carrier or clerk are easy. A knowledge of spelling, arithmetic, letter writing. penmanship, copying from plain copy. United States geog raphy and the reading of addresses is required, but the test in each branch is not difficult. The first four subiectn named are the most important ones. At former examinations a knowledge of geography has been included as one of the most important of the requirements, but it is now held to be of less conse quence.

I.)., is to be settled by the supreme court. It is whether an express company can be enjoined under the nuisance law from delivering nackagres of liquor sent subject to the shipper's order. T. V. Moseley while county attorney of Stafford county some time aso brought an injunction suit under the nuisance act ucainst the V.'ells-Fargo Kxpress company and its agent at Staf ford, E. Brown. The suit was originally brought in the probate court, which granted a temporary injunction, but when it reached the district court that tribunal dissolved the temporary in junction. The theory of the prosecution was that the agent of the express com pany delivered liquor in a manner which constituted an evasion of the law, and the injunction was asked for just as it would be against any joint. In the meantime Moseley has been succeeded as county attorney by Hardy Sayre. and the latter has appealed fnni the judgment of the district court in or der to test the auestion in the supieme court.

AFTER mm HITCHES Wedding of Miss Thaw and Earl of Yarmouth Is Solemnized. Pittsburg, Pa., April 3. Amid scenes as impressive as a lavish dis play of wealth, the dignity of society and the solemnity of the ritual of the Protestant Episcopal church could provide the marriage of George Alexan der Seymour, the earl of Yarmouth of England and Alice .Cornelia Thaw, of Pittsburg, daughter of the late William Thaw, was solemnized last evening in the Calvary church. The church was magnificently dec orated for the occasion with palms, white hydrangias, white lilies and other potted plants, and the audience the most brilliant ever seen at a wedding in Pittsburg. The bride wore a magnifi cent gown of ivory satin, trimmed with duchesse lace, made high necked and with a court train. She wore the fine string of pearls that was her brother's wedding gift. The bridegroom wore the conventional frock coat and light trousers. Josiah C. Thaw gave the bride away and the Rev. Dr. W. L. MoEivan as sisted by Rev. Dr. John H. Mcllvane, were the officiating clergymen. Mrs. George Lauder Carnegie was her sister's matron of honor while Nancy Carnegie, Miss Martha Ferguson, Lady Jane Pevmour, Miss issobe! May, Miss Elinor Wilson and Miss Mary Thaw Thompson served as bridesmaids. They wore white chiffon gown, while leg horn hat trimmed in whttn flow ers and carried bunch J.t of white and purple lilacs. Lead Ed ward Sevmour was his brother's best man, and his ushers. J. Denniston Lvon. Dallas Byers. H. C. Norman, second secretary of the English em hassv, Count Delia Gbarardefcka. H. Persch of Philadelphia and R. Haven Tebib of London. Preceding the ceremony an organ re cital was rendered, while the WO invit ed guests were being seated. When the scheduled time for the ceremonial, four o'clock, arrived, the wedding march was besun, but the bridal party did not appear. For some reason the party was delay ed and did not arrive at the church un til 4'4-. In the meantime the wedding march had been repeated several times -nd the audience plainly showed its onxiety Manv rumors were put in cir culation, but nothing tangible could be learned to account for the delay. When the -waiting became irksome the doors were thrown open to the publ'.c and the edifice was ouickly filled almost to suocation. Finally the bridal party ai rived, and at 4: the ceremopv w-hs begun. Karrv Kendall Thaw, the bride s older brother who was to have etven her away, failed to nut in an anoear ance and her vounger brother Josiah performed that Dortion of the ceremony while Dallas Ryers took the place of .To:ah Thaw as one of the ushers Aside from these unlocked for changes the wedding was carried out to the let ter. After the church ceremonv there w.-au a recention at Tvndhuist. the Thaw I residence, for l.".Q peonle. The house was splendldlv decorated, and the col. lection of gifts was most magnificent. 1 The bride tare to her attendants dia mond and pmethyst bracelets. The i newlv wedded couple left for a brief honeymoon ri- te-fore sa'.Hn?: for Eng land."

Party of Emporia People Near to Drowning in the Cottonwood. Kmporia, Kan., April 2R. Ben Fow'.er with his family and. Miss Janette Stot ler came near drowning while attempt ing to cross the Cottonwood river at Baker's ford. The party were in a cov ered Surrey. The team Mr. Fowler was driving shied just as they started to ford and turned the surry in such a way that it was u;set into the water before any of the occupants had time to set out, and the team more scared then ever started up the stream pullinfi the busey with its occupants after them. Miss Stotler was the first to tree herself, she waded to the shore and ran to the home of Elmer I'.atcliffe Avho lived a quarter of a mile away for help. Ben was having his troubles during this time and they were more serious than any of the others. When the vehicle turned' over, his foot became fast and he was just about ready to draw his last breath when his trouser lei: gave way and released him. During the excitement Mr. Fowler's hat and his daughter's got away, in atldition to two $6 robes, a cape and one of the cushions of the surrey. Miss Stotler also lost her noeketbook con taining $f4. C0311NU DRAMATIC EVENTS. Dancers may come and dancers may go, but the perennial Doc Quigley goes on forever, and each season with some thing new for those "comedy legs" to do. It is needless to state that Doe Quigley is still a fixture with the Al G. Field Minstrels as fie has been for the past 15 years. For the present season Mr. Quigley has originated an entire new act in the dancing line, in which the poetry of motion artistically com bines with the grotesque movements of his legs. The act is by far the most ambitious of his long career as the creator of dancing novelties and as in ail his previous efforts is distinctively different from all other terpsichorean comedy. Among the familiar faces which will appear with the Al G. Field Greater Minstrels at the Grand Thursday ev ening, none will be received with more favor than that of Tommy Donnelly, who by his original witticisms and his inimitable way of expressing them, has created a wave of laurrhter from ocean to ocean. As usual, "Tommy" will be seen and heard in an entirely new pro gramme of wholesome fun. His songs .nd jokes are up to the minute and his manner is just as pleasing as of old.

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.

The above Is trus not of food products only, but is espe cially applicable to medicinal agents and after nearly a quarter of a century of frrowth 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 tha 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- i freshing liquid, but also to the method of manufacture of the California Fig Eyrup Co.. which ensures that uniformi ty andl purity essential in a remedy in- tended for family use.

Kansas Children's Home Society Loses a 13 Tear Old Boy. The Kansas Children's Homo society is short to the extent of one boy, Guy Mac Cann, who presumably eloped with the Sells Downs circus last Saturday night. The belief that he followed the show is based on the fact that he was last seen at the show ground Saturday night. He is 1:5 years of age. President O. S. Morrow will try to trace the ab sentee and cause his return to the -fold. A circus is almost irresistible to the small boy. Last summer a boy who was furnished by the society to a fam ily near McPherson, ran away and join ed the "Buckskin Bill" aggregation, but when he was found two week? la ter at Caldwell, was more than willing to return.

Thus you will see she had four hats here the foolish girl had one. The craze of the moment is undoubt edly the fan shaped aigret. This forms the sole trimming of a turban or a toque of rough straw which clings closely to the head and shoots forward i and off the face. How often have I said j that in this letter? But I don't care. It is the characteristic of all the new hats. The fan shaped aigret is merely stuck through the straw so that it pro i jeots a little in ad ance of the hat it self.

Real ly, bachelors are becoming too comfort able. Thf y live in apartment houses w hich are conducted far better than the average home. There are rooms of all sizes and prices, but all pretty, all com fortable, and all much less expensive than the same amount of air and space in a family apartment house. Last night I was present at a house warming given by one of these selfish fortunates. I gained entrance by let ting fall a handsome brass knocker. I was ushered through a pretty hallway into a large room lighted by candles, shaded in poppy red. The walls were covered with plain paper of this same shade thickly stud. led with photo graphs, drawings.' signed verses, etc. At. one end stood a piano, on which jay a iolin. A high backed settle and some antique chairs completed the rich effect of the room. The rest of the little apartment was in keeping. An Kvelewn fcden. Xow. three men shared this.

When they wanted to give a musieale. as last night, all they had to do was to ask a chaperon and one or two nice girls, and I can assure you their invitations did not go begging. So they had an artistic atmosphere, comfort at an exceedingly moderate prh e. no responsibilities and all the feminine society they wanted and only when they wanted it.

Several of these gifted girls are already here, and it is a great pleasure to note them one by one stepping modestly out of the ranks of unknow n w riters to take their places among the favored handful whom all the world reads and seeks to know the beginnings of. When a novelist reaches the point where the world searches into her personal history, her fame is as sured. It is a real compliment, a com pliment that Louise Forsslund, the young aulhor of those unique creations, "The Story of Sarah" and "The Ship of Dreams," may now appropriate to her self. More than a generation ago a man hailed on Long Island from wandering up and down the earth and tarried there. He was a Swede, with the wind and the sun of the northern seas in his blood. He had been a sailor on the high seas and a gold hunter in California. He married a daughter of one of the old American Long Island families and be etle one with them. His name was Forsslund. which he Americanized to Foster. Three sons and four daughters were born to the Suede father and the stron;,' mother, and it is said that "all these daughters are clever." Louise Forsslund is one of the four. The cross shoulder knot and belt of black LACE remember this, it would save them many a weary hour's labor with the needle. A German riding master now in America who frequently saw the em RSSLUND, ND NOVELIST They became familiar with the opera tions of life saving crews, they watched the processes of "longing" for oysters and digging for clams, they played hide and seek among the sand dunes. The description in "The Story of Sarah" of the demented man and the woman who hunted him among the sand dunes in the falling snow is as vivid and ter ribly realistic as anything Hall Caine ever penned. In deed, Louise -.sJyV;;;- :rv'':fyy:j r orsslund re minds one now fjy and then or Hall Caine in i m"T her tragedy, again of Rud yard Kipling in ':i the rugged un studiedness of her diction. The fact that the powerful Sarah story was re jected by six houses to whom it was offered for examina tion before it was finally ac- Louise Forsslund. cepted by the seventh leads one to w-on-der what publishers' readers are made of anyhow. For the Posed by Beryl Morse of the "Little Princess" company. Hcture hat of white malines ornamented .Speaking of this "Story of Sarah," one may mention how its author shows up a phase of woman's history that, so far as I am aware, no other novelist has ever touched on. It is the phase of that strange sex fascination or mag netism which is not real love or any thing like it, as thousands of wromen learn after they have rushed into the bitter mistake of matrimony on the strength of it. She who loves one man and is fascinated by another whom she does not really love at all is by no means uncommon, if the veil could be lifted from the feminine soul. It is an experience of both marred and single. Again, the girl author in this her first novel works her plot in a way to mys tify a veteran fiction reader. We fear, we believe, against our ardent wish to the contrary, that Sarah shot Devine, and then at the last There, too, is the vivid description of Uncle Sam's life saving station crew, with Tts eartroom. lookout, ropes, rockets, lifeboat and breeches buoy, all evidently familiar to the girl as house hold words, and there also is pious, pu ritanical Number One, who had a full moon drunk once a year in January. Was'the orgy in the messroom of the little station while the storm was rag ing like a million fiends outside and while a schooner was going to pieces on a reef drawn from life as well? At any rate one gets a living impression from them, as though the girl had listened with kindling eye and quick drawn breath to thrilling, real tales of the sea and shore and afterward strung them together in one powerful fiction tale. That is why and where she is strong. She has taken up her own Long Island, out of sight of which she has rarely been, and proved it one of the richest finds for the novelist in this great land. She has followed literally the unsur 'passed advice of Rudyard Kipling to "write of the things you know." But Louise Forsslund says of this ad vice: "Kipling; might have added when ne said. 'Write of the things you know,' but see that you love them first.' I love the Long Island folk, and love spans omany bridges." press of Germany on horseback says she never had a good seat and could never acquire the art of managing horses properly. If cheekbones are prominent, fluff out Miss Forsslund has been writing ever since she could form words with a pen cil. First she wrote children's stories, then at the mature age of fourteen be gan her love stories. She has done a little newspaper work, but fiction is her field. Previous to beginning "Sarah." however, she never worked at fiction systematically because, she confesses, "I was scared." From the time she could form letters, though, schoolmates, teachers and friends pronounced her a born writer. To know life in its full ness from the start is the matchless gift of the gods to Louise Forsslund. She was three years writing "The Story of Sarah." It was no accidental success. Her second book, "The Ship of Dreams," has proved as popular as the j first. It is pleasant to know a publish ing house that rejected her first story begged the privilege of publishing the second immediately on the issuing of the first one by another firm. "See here. We must get hold of that girl." said a ltading light of the house i that had refused "The Story of Sarah" i in manuscript the moment he set eyes upon it in book form. Thus authors ,et back at publishers sometimes. "The Story of Sarah" has been dramatized. I asked the young author to tell me something of her childhood dreams. In a charming letter that seemed to have the air of the sea in its pages, a letter sincere, strong and picturesque, like he: stories, she answered: "Tell you the dreams of my life? How can 1? They have been many, and I still dream on like a great big fool. But if this dream of becoming a writer which possessed me from the time 1 knew the meaning of the word story' if this is coming true, why should I not persist in dreaming still?" Why not. indeed? -jLittfe Eadie company. with white silk bowa and feathers. Ecru broadcloth coat, bands of antiqua lace on collar, cuffs and body. I wonder if the young lady would con sider herself a victim of misplaced con fidence if I should quote her words on matrimony? They are so interesting that I will take the risk. A woman friend told Miss Forsslund that she (the friend) had not had the strength of mind to stay single. For answer the girl who wrote Sarah's story says: "Don't lay the title 'Mrs.' to lack of strength of mind. I should be ashamed to say that strength of mind alone had kept me single. If the only man in the world where is he? were to come to morrow and say, 'Only woman in the world, let us lock hands.' I would do it." In person Miss Forsslund is slightly under medium height, little but mighty, one may say. She has beautiful golden hair, with large, dark eyes and heavy dark brows and lashes. Her appear ance is striking, her voice deep, sweet and rich. She finds there are three Long Is lands first, that of the descendants of the old settlers: next, the Long Island of the fashionable millionaire summer colony; last, the Long Island of-fiction and the novelist. It is interesting to note that the Vonstradam of "The Story of Sarah" is real, a "true Dutch ham let" and that its name out of fiction is West Sayville or Tuckertown. and that one of its residents is an old Dutch lady who is a particular friend of Miss Forss lund. On all these Long Island na tives, fashionable colonists, baymen and old Dutch settlers the clear seeing girl author looks with equal eye, find ing in them all material to be illumi nated by her rich and radiant fancy. Here are conclusions strangely wdse for one so young as Louise Forsslund: "People are the same the world over to be pitied, most of them. I should be as much ashamed to say 'I am bet ter than thou' to a slip of a society girl as I should be ashamed to say it to one of the baymen who go by my window every day. The girl will have her op portunity to become a heroine; the man has his to become a hero, and just be cause we do not know Well, what is the good of preaching?"

ROW TO FORGET AND HOW TO REMEMBER. IF we knew how to remember what we want to remember and how to forget what we want to forget, we should be in possession of a fairy gift of good. In the lives of us all there are passages of which we are not proud. Xow we have made egregious fools of ourselves: now a beloved, trusted one has broken our heart at least we think so. Again, we have passed through sucli seasons of poverty and anxiety that to recall them is a nightmare. Let us pray for the blessed boon of forgetfulncss. At the same time work while ye pray. That is ever the way to have prayer answered. When you are overwhelmed with bitter, torturing memories, simply think of something else. You cannot do it at one or two or three trials, but you can accomplish it in a few months or a year or two. To help drown bitter memories engage in some absorbing work and keep your attention fixed on the movements of your body while you work. So shall you drown out grief and bitter regrets and the memory of losses. But to remember the things we need, to remember, the thousand and one lit tle details of housekeeping, of business that is another matter. Yet it, too, can be achieved by the most absent minded, forgetful woman that ever let her glorious childhood memory run lo ack and ruin. Kvery woman who has i slipshod, worthless memory herself las let it go to pieces. Listen. Nature gave everybody a ijood memory to start with. A child re nembers all it sees. Its brain cells arg Posed by Beryl Morse of the "Little Princess" resh and receptive to the photographic pictures of events. There are millions f brain cells, enough to furnish a fresh one for every event in the life of a thousand years. To begin, never, never say, "Oh. I am setting so forgetful!" If you make a statement, it stands, especially if you make it against yourself. You make others believe it: you believe it yourself in time: so it comes to be a fact. Nev er say you are either stupid, ugly, sick ly or forgetful or anything else you would not like to be. Draw your mental powers and your thoughts in from wandering like Satan up and down the earth and center them on the duty of the moment. Do not let them go hither and thither like wild horses galloping o'er the plain. You can remember everything you need to. If through a wicked, hurried. Jumblin.tr up of mental impressions you have let your memory waste, stop it. It will help you to write in clear, large letters upon a placard this: "I can and do re member whatever I need to." Then -uspend that by a ribbon of your favor ite color where you will see it the first thing when you wake in the morninj and the last thing at night. Make a powerful, determined effort to live up to it. Again, never set down upon paper what you desire to remember. Nothing, except the mental scrap bag habit so many women have acquired, weakens the memory like written memorandums. The race had a glorious memory be fore it learned to write. If you have a list of things to buy, set them down only in your brain. At first no doubt you will forget. Well and good. Th more inconvenience you are put to at first the less apt you will be to forget next time. So shall you keep your di vine memory from running to decay. If you follow this system of memory training, you will come by and by to feel as though you have been guilty ot a sin when you forget anything. JANE MOSES.

Now it was not Sandy Duehene's way to neglect his enu'loyer's interests be cause of some old woman's tale, and he lode blithely away after supper to join tiie round-up on l'ig Cabin. He figured that a steady fox-trot would land him et CiiaysoTi's an hour beforo midnight, his horse fresh, and himself in .just the mood or a solid five hours of slumber. A daytime ride in the middle of sum nier would he far worse, both for him self and his beloved Prophet pony. Thar was Sandy's daylight, matter-of-fact For the first five miles, to the edge of the broad woods, the puncher whistled "Skewhall's Derby," a ,-ollii king ballad that celebrated in an interminable series of quatrains the aehievonn nts of some noted rar hoi sc. The pulsing hat of the prairie gave way to a cooling south -wind, and the merry ncraping of the katydids was replaced. ;.s he neared the timber, by the doleful sing-song of the locusts. The shadows of the trees once ever him. he stopped his w histling. His Prophet pony's ears began to jerk for ward and backward as the small crea tures of the night rattled the bushes or stirred the grass at the roadside. One clear stare that showed the bright stars winking overhead gave way to a long to ua ve w ay to a long i filley of gloom. Sandy heard little foot- uteps pattering ahead, whistled shrilly I as he urged the ponv to a quick gallop I ami. as the shrubs move,! at n,'irtr' no snitted the pungent odor of a skunk. Why had that ciazy old man insisted Upon telling him of the murder of Depu ty Marshal Jim H'jiderson at the cor ner of Bates' field As he came upon the spot, and the dim starlight played strange pranks in the corner of the "old rallfence, he recalled the story. He was whistling "The Cowboy's lament" as he came up to the place where Render fun had fallen .shot fror the angle of iiiiu old tenee. The Prophet pony shiert there, at the sudden, grotesque appari tion of a stump. Sandy rebuked him sha rply "Brace up there, you Prophet! You thinks to yourself, 'now, here's and the lire ain't hot!" But it ain't nothln' but a cottonwood stump, old boy." lie leaned over the saddle horn to slap the pony's neck affectionately. Beyond th stump he recalled the words of a pleas ant little ditty, which promised that I "If you go for to ride on the railroad And you ride on the U. P. train. My Lulu girl will see you And throw you out in the rain!" The hoot of an owl close bv doused the puncher's singing. All of the tales he had ever heard of murders in lonely places were full of hooting owls that was the signal "Hoggy" Harlan had used to call a confederate out of his cabin when the two murdered an old pr. acher for a $10 bill they knew he had. "Hoggy's" cabin was just at the right now. a hundred yards back in that clearing. The man himself had been handed at Fort Smith, but around the dilapidated old log hut still clung dark tales. The half-demented old road that led up to the forsaken clear ing was grown over with hickory sprouts and sumach, on top of which rioted wild blackberry vines. opposite to that old trail Sandy le-nrd the bushes rattle, as something came down from the cabin. The Prophet pony held his ears straight for ward, and crowded to the other side of the road. For the minute the cow boy was frightened, and in his fright pulled up short to convince himself that lie was not at all scared. The pony v anted to go forward, for tie knew thai a green pasture .awaited him after a refreshing roll in the stable lot. Put Sandy hela him in, a hand placed re assuringly on his ninne. waiting for th? nppfnrancc of the Thing lumbering through the bushes and vines. "Stand still, you coyote. "urged Sandy, as the noise came closer, j-.-rking at Prophet's rein roughly. He went on, Bperfking rapidly: "It ain't a dog-gone thing, you pup! "What you want to run away for? You're a mce, brave little brorir, ain't i you!" He slapped the pony's neck sharply, causing him to jump forward. This tune there was a clear note of ter- ror in bis voice as he rebuke,! the Prophet. Five minutes he waited for the appearance of the Thing, the steps oming on slowly, the bushes faintly tattling. His face was bended with; sweat: he cursed the heat of midsum- j mcr. and drew a shirt sleeve across his forehead. It seemed that the footsteps had traversed a mile of road, and yet they sounded no nearer. Would it pat- ter out thereto! ever, and hold him trembling in terror? But there was the noise close at hand now, almost under the Prophet pony's; nose. Then into the dim starlight emerged a huge black sow. At slight S of the horse and man the creature' grunted hoarsely and crashed back into the brush. j "Curse you. Hoggy!" yelled the trem- i Ming man, half hysterical with surprls- j ed relief. "Curse you; take that!" San- dy's pistol was out. and two shots I broke the summer night's silence. -With j a whoop of sane joy he lifted the pony j into h gallop, clattering through a dark j alley of trees. He samr now, in a full. carrying tone, an unprintable ditty that wns concerned mainly with a terrible dofiance of the devil. The song died down, the pony's pace fell to the inevitable fox-h'ot, and the locusts; skirred and skirred. filling the night with sound. Near the edge of Grand river stood the "Nelly -Gray" cabin, nestling in a group of tall elms, set back from the road less than a hundred feet. As the roar of the broad, shallow stream, fret ting down over the boulders, came to Sandy's rare, he recalled the old In dians tale of "Nelly Gray. No sweet patient, long-suffering slave was this' Nelly, but "a negress of Herculean streiurth and snoerior omninrr who I after the civil war, established her cab in near Carey's Ford, and soon made it a retreat for the lawless negroes and I the more degraded of the desnerate I whites. Whisky peddlers were "Nellie Gray's" friends; lvv sei hieves she welcomed: and in that sinister cabin more than one wayfaring traveler felt the keen edge of the old woman's butcher knife on his throat only to whisner a prayer for mercy. But no mercy was in her black heart. After nightfall men rode by the cabin with their puns crossed handily over their saddle horns. for ten years Nelly Gray held this Devil's Court, until a son grew up to manhood. More villainous even than his mother. Jess Gray made himself a terror in the wild settlement. A yen- turesome deputy marshal who came down to spy out the rotten gang was found one day hanging high up in the forks of an elm, his head wedged be tween two limbs, and It was rumored that the young negro giant had cap tured the man, and, in a. playful spirit, elimbed the tree and eireeiiterl him sinRic. handed. It was a fearsome tale. and men whispered it to one another guardedly. Out of some horse stealing expedition "Nellie Gray" had obtained a tine white horse. Strong and swift, fin.e limbed, and pure bred, the horse won the old negress' faney. She had never loved a human creature a cruel owner had beaten hatred into her as a child slave but on the hoise she lavished a world r cre and petting. Astride its back, man fashion, she was wont to scour thu big timber at night, charging along lonely paths and wailing- a song which was said to have been inspired by the evil one. In that day of superstition, among a superstitious people, "Nelly Gray" wielded a terrible power. Only the great brutish son dared to oppose her only he saw through her iiitatrioal posings and knew that in her heart there was a constant fear, the fear of treachery. He laughed at her when she saddled the gray and started away into the dark woods wailing her Devil's song. On a certain summer night, when the son had reached the age of twenty, a dance was held at a negro shanty ten miles down the river. The news of the affair came to the man's ears late in the afternoon. The horse that he had been used to riding was loose somewhere in the woods, and only the gray was in the i log stable. Perhaps the boy was not diplomatic, perhaps he overestimated his power; when he demanded the horse i to ride, the old woman turned upon him I in fury and bade him be gone from her j sight. If he touched hair or hide of the gray that night, he should answer for it: The row was a tierce one, and the boy went away, apparently beaten. As the night closed down upon them, the old negress strode out to saddle her horse for her accustomed ride. Down the river road she went, crying out that inevitable song above ths noise of the water. Back she came four hours lat"r, the gray dripping with sweat. Where the road turned the cor ner of the fence, near the cabin, skirt-

,nsr OIOSe tne steer r,ver oanK' a l'"k figure sprang suddenly into the rfmd ahead. There came the deep.quiok report of a big shotgun, a fiendish laugh of triumph, and the gray, wheel ing suddenly, slipped over the river bank. Horse and women were swept down by the strong current and, after nil, Jess Gray did not reach the dance that night. The cowboy rehearsed this tale a dozen times in the five minutes before he came to the ford. Imagination would not be quieted the awful, sims ter shape of that old negress was as yivtdly before him as the unquiet ears of his Prophet pony. The cabin was but a grotesque blot over there, the fence had rotted to an indistinct blur. As the puncher urged his pony into the water he glanced down towards that old river road. Was it his fancy that heard the swift, steady pounding of hoofs? He stopped his horse to lis ten. Nearer and nearer the hoofbeats came, and as he half crouched in ex pectation of the gunshot a wailing cry came from the woods. A shotgun roared, and fifty feet below him some heavy body splashed into the river. Terrified now beyond self-control, Sandy spurred his Prophet pony Into the water. Over that 200 yards of boulder stream river bed the sturdy little beast floundered under whip and spur, the rider half-sobbing as he urged him on. Beyond the river, in the open prairie, his nerve returned to him; he dismounted to examine his horse's bruised legs and splintered hoofs. anity jnd a terrible regret for. bis maimd pony came to him. It was not of ghosts he thought, as he led the crippled pony the ten miles to Gray son's, arriving in the early dawn. Watching his beloved Prophet pony hobbling about the horse pasture, after he had come to be called among the cow-boys "Limping Prophet."' the puncher wondered and wondered, with shudders that would not be suppressed. But six months later he heard of the panther that Luke Sixkiller had chased up Grand River and shot near Carey's Ford on the night he went from old Tookh Steh's to Grayson's. New York Post.

He don't look hannv und he vhas ready to call me a robber because I sharge 15 cents for.aj cement natch, vhen I shmiles und says: "Mr. Johnson, I vhas glad to wish you mooch luck. I hope you vhill live fifty years und be happy." "How vhas dot?" he says. "Aboudt your getting married. Some folks vhas in here und tell me it vhas a young und rich widow." "Nonsense. How vhas a man of my age to get married again? Cobbler, don't be a, fool." "Mr. Johnson, I like to tell you some thing. You vhas fifty years old und ash spry ash a boy. If you don"t marry some young, rich widows you ought to." He don't say noddings for fife min utes, und den he laughs und vhus pleased und speaks to me: "Cobbler, you vhas a yretty sharp man. und tomorrow I bring in all my shoes to be mended. So you don't think I vhas too old to be married again?" "Of course not. You vhas better ash a young- man." "So? Ha ha ha! Vhell, I guess you' vhas right. I guess I tell my friendts to patronize your shop. You vhas der only cobbler I eafer see mit sense in his head." Und vhen he goes oudt he sings: "'I love a young widow, tra-la, I love a young widow, tra-la; We'll marry for love, And she'll be my dove. And we'll ever be loving, tra-la." Maype der next person vhas some old maids who live mit her sister und runs down der heel of her shoe chasing after a husband. She likes to haf it fixed onp und she sit? down in a chair und folds her hands and sighs. "You vhas a werrV sensible woman?," I finally says, ash I hammer avhay. "How you mean. Mr. Cobbler?" "1 mean dot you don't make a fool of yourself by getting married too soon. wHnins tor ei ims.ii Kmc i man to comf along, und vhen he conws i" t Dp nappy an uay ions. Do you pelieve he vhill eafer come?" she asks as she rolls oop her eyes. "I hif waited oh. I haf waited so long, und yet he coineth not." "Womans. dot mans vhill come. He vhill come und he vhill love you at first sight. You shall be his wife und you shall haf sunshine all your days." "Cobbler, if I could only pelieve you." "You may pelieve. He may come in two weeks. It vhas in my bones dot he comes." She shmiles und giggles und bites her finger und looks shy, and pooty soon she says her sister has six children und 1 shall fix cop all deir shoes. Vhen she goes oudt. she nods to me und giggles some more vet, und I can hear her singing to herself: "He vhill fall in love mit me te-he, He vhill fall in love mit me don't you see; IXD IIISCELL1AE0LS AD!

He vhas a man mit a red nose und big feet und a big stomach. Und he vhas sulky. "Cobbler, I want a half sole on my shoes, und don't you rob me nor be all day doing the work," he says as he sits down. "It vhas a pleasant day?" I says. "I don't care a cent if she vhas!" "Do you almost get run oafer by some street cars?" "No, sir. Vhen I first go oudt dis morning a brewery wagon stops before me und dot driver says he likes me to get my feet oudt of der road. If you have sooch an insult ash dot maype you vhas mad, too." "Of course I. vhas. How can he shpeak of your feet dot vhuy vhen dey vhas only number eights. I guess he vhas drunk." sOJt

fur ..-yr SHE SITS DOWN IN A CHAIR AND FOLDS HER HANDS. "Don't you pelief my feet vhas like wagon boxes?" he asks. "Of course not. I can tell you of 100 peoples who haf larger feet. Your foot vhas shust der size of Napoleon's, und you should be glad of it." "But how about my stomach? A man bumps into me der odder day und says he pelieves it vhas a house. Do I look like some houses?" "Not at all. You vhas only plump. Your measure around der waist vhas der same as George Washington, und nobody takes him for a house. If 1 haf sooch a Etomach ash dot I walk oop und down all day long." "But my nose vhas too red." he says. "Der odder day a man tells me he vhas oudt in der evenings to hunt coons, und he likes my nose for a lantern." "Vhell, dot man vhas color blind or a fool. Your nose vhas shust u healthy pink. It vhas der same nose as Daniel Webster und Henry Clay, und you may be in congress some day." "Cobbler, do you tell me der truth?" he asks. "Of course." "Vhell, you shall fix oop all my shoes from now on, und here vhas a quarter extra for dis job. By golly, but I vhas glad I come in. You vhas der bully boy mit der good eye." end vhen he goes oudt he sings: "My stomach vhas not too large My nose vhas not too red; My feet vhas not too large, ho-ho. To tumble me oudt of bed." (Copy right, 1903, by C. B. Lewis.) NOT A SQUARE SHOW. A gang of men had brought a prison er into Carson City whom they claimed to be Dan Needham, guilty of three or four killings. The sheriff locked the prisoner up rather reluctantly, not be ing satisfied of his identity, and a day or two later, when a mob stormed the jail, he shook his head sagely and ob served: "If you want to hang him, why, in course you will, but you ain't givin' the critter a fair show." The prisoner was taken out and sus pended to a limb, and next day a stranger rode up to the jail on horse back and queried of the sheriff: "Mebbe you've got a man in thar who calls hisself Dan Needham?" "I had one, but they took him out and hung him." was the reply. "Then they hung the wrong man," "I told 'em they might be makin' a mistake." "I am Dan Needham as sure's your born." "Shoo shoo! Jest went and hung the wrong man." "They did that. I was passin' by and thought I'd stop and tell you how it was." The sheriff watched the man out of sight and then turned and brought his fist down into the palm of his hand and exclaimed: "I say it ain"t k'rect! Hangin' is all right if you happen to git hold of the right man, but if you hang a man who don't desarve to be hung, then it ain't the fair, square thine-, and I'll alius stick to it that it ain't. It ain't law, to begin with; and it ain't jestice, to go further; and last of all. it surprises and injures the feelin's of the man who gits hung, and makes out that he didn't have no square show." M. Quad. Robbed the Grave. A startling incident is narrated by John Oliver of Philadelphia as follows: "I was in an awful condition. My skin was si most yellow, eyes sunken, tongue, coated, pain continually in back and eides, no ap petite, growing wraker day by day. Three physician had given me up. Then 1 was ad ised tn use Electric Bitters; tc my Grreat joy the first bottle made a decide,! improvement. I continued their use for three weeks and am now a well man. I know they robbed the grave of anoLher victim." No one should fail to try tnem. Only See. Guaranteed by Arnold Drug Cc, 621 North Kansas ave. JSverybody reads the State Journal WANTED MALE HELP.

lO TOPEKA STATE JOUXlIvAL, TUESDAY EVENING. APRIL 28, 1303. Uii Oullil O 1 llillj&i Folitics Continues to Move in Seventh District. Thirty-eighth Senatorial Dis trict the Scene. UII. BARM) LEADS OFF. Says Smith Betrayed the Short Grass Country. liight Have Secured Nomination for One of His People." Reports from the short grass country indicate that Senator Fred Pumoiit Smith will have opposition it he is a candidate for ronranin? tion for the state eenate, as it in expected he will b-. His enatorial district, the Thirty-eishth, is the largest in the state, takins in eigh teen counties, su that there may be a considerable diversity of interests ill it. The district was woiidiy for Smith fo coriKi cssiuan in the lecent Oreat Ben J convention, with the exception of those counties which had candidates of their own, but it is out of the Great Bend convention that the chief opposition to Smith has arisen. Some of the short grass people do not like Smith's action in attempting to turn over his strength to Murdock. They do not object to 3Jurdock himself in fact they are all for him now but what they do not like Is tt--at Smith, when he found he could not be nominate!! tried to use his in -J'ijence .Murdoek instead of allowing l.isdi-lt-gates to go to another short grass candidate if they wished to do so. in fact. Smith was tillable to turn his tr.tire strength to the Wichita man, not w ithsta noun?- the tact that Mur t.n k s nomination was a foregone con rmsi'Ti. Nine of the Smith delegates in fisted on toing to Judge I'rii c instead .f to Murdock, because I'riee was their riei;),hor. One of the nine was from ir?uttor Smith's home county. Kdwards. This has furnished an excuse for those who do not like Smith any way to break away from him, on the ground that he des rted the short grass coun try. This feeling is especially pro nounced in the southwest part of the district, and now tomes J. K. Barnd, of the Ness County News, in the north part of the district, and registers a mioiiet criticism of Senator Smith. Judge iiiirnd says: "In last week's Kinsley Mercury Sen ator F. P. Smith makes what fie be lieves to he a satisfac tory explanation of his flunk at the Great Bend conven tion, w here, on the informal ballot, he was the leading candidate for congress man from the l;ig Seventh district, and claims tha the short grass for the first time in its history named the congress man.' That claim sounds a great deal like the old story of how 'Betsy and 1 killed the bear.- It seems that if the "short glass' had had anything par ticular to say about the 'making' of a congressman it would have named a. 'short grass' man for the place. If the 'short crass' can do no better business in the way of 'naming congressmen' it had better retire permanently from the political ti Id. Mr. Smith seems highly flated over his 'success' in turning his short Brass contingent over to the east ern lid of the district, which lias no in terest in common with the west save to wheedle it into voting for its men and Its measures, and to ridicule it on all otr T occasions. "What the result might have been had Vr. Smith stood true to the interests of the 's ort grass' is of course unt'athom nbk it certainly the boasted 'victory' r. have been as great even had ine fellows succeeded in naming the futiiP gentleman as the standard bearer in the present contest. We think Mr. Smith lost his head, and threw away the .inly chance the 'short grass' ever thus far has had. or will have In the next score or more of years, to have a congressman in full sympathy witli the peculiar interests of this portion of the state. Just such leadershp has cost western Kansas much, and will continue to prevent its proper recognition both ma"., -ially and politically so long as it Js blindly followed. "It would h:ive been better had the short grass' lined up solidly for short piass candidates, ami allowed the other f-ai,nvs to have (lone the flunk ing. and if it had not succeeded in namimj one of its reia-een ta t i ves as the candidate it at least could have made a good showing tor some one from its own ter ritory, instead of j eti eat ing behind thf thin boast that it had "lined up solidly in a con ressi r,a 1 convention and so consolidated :ade itself feit in the re fult" Great guns! Is it not something to proud of, that the boasted "short traps' made itself f,-!t by cowardly Jtfiy Years the Standard UJ J' t PB1CE BAKING POWDER CO, CHICAGO. throwing" away all opportunity for the sole purpose of naming an 'outsider,' lest some other force might accomplish the same thing? Mr. Smith certainly uses a Queer brand of logic; to wrest a victory from an abiect surrender, such as was made under his generalship at Great Ilend." Senator Smith is one of the shrewd est men in Kansas politics, however, and the fight against him may not be successful. Even his enemies admit that there are few men in the state who are hi equal in intellectual bril liancy or shrewdness; though many of his public acts wear a very peculiar aspect when subjected to close exami nation. Senator Smith is bright enough to know that the connection of Senator Burton's name with the new machine just started in Kansas politics to oblit erate factionalism would have a disas trous effect on the movement, and he hastens to deny that Burton has any thing to do with it. But he slaps Bur ton in order to stab Iceland. Here Is what he says about the new organiza tion: "Some of the defenders of Mr. Leland assume that no man may be opposed to him without being a supporter of Sena tor Burton. They set up thfe gross mis conception that exists in their boss rid den minds that we cannot do without a boss, and that if we dethrone Leland we must enthrone Burton. "They cannot conceive of a political world without a boss some one to give orders and to whom they may run daily for leave to exist and for directions as to the manner in which they shall live their small political lives. "They do not realize that thousands of stalwart Republicans need no boss; are tired and disgusted with bosses; are no more for a Burton machine the.n they are for a Iceland machine. Senator Bur ton has made many mistakes, even his friends will admit that. He is today far weaker than at any time in his ca reer. Whether he can succeed himself three years hence is a grave question, but it is a question three years off. It has nothing to do with the vast wave of popular feeling that is rising against Behind; against the unbridled and li centious use of accidental power for purely personal ends. The attempt to use the present unpopularity of Burton to bolster up Leland is clever, but too obvious. No one will be frightened by it. The issue now is Iceland, not Bur ton. The issue is self government as against feudalism. Republicanism as against factionalism. A united as against a divided party. Party peace as against party war. and on these issues next year's campaign will be fought." A dispatch from Oklahoma in a Kan sas City paper states that Congressman Curtis is among the beneficiaries of the Kaw allotment, which is just being con cluded at Kaw City. He and his family together drew 1,600 acres of land. Mr. Curtis' allotment includes the northeast quarter of section 26 and the northeast quarter of section 3, in township 27, range 4, east. Hutchinson News: C. F. Clyne. the Demooratiocandidate for congress from the Seventh district, spent a part of yesterday in this city. He met a good many Democrats and told them of his campaign so far. The young man is very enthusiastic and made a. bold dec laration that he was going to have a red haired scalp at his belt when the special election was over. He went on west to continue his speech making tour on an evening train. The row in the. Republican party is over looked long enough to mention the fact that John H. Atwood is still slated lor member from Kansas of the Democratic national committee, to succeed J. G. John son, who has held the place a number of years. The pins for Atwood's election were .set up Inst year at the Democratic state convention, when his friends secured con trol of the remocratic state committee. The Atchison Globe says that Nick Chiles was over there Monday. He was there, says the Globe, "to find out hew Curtis stands in Atchison. That shouldn't he hard," the Globe adds. What does that mean?

Former Topeka Man Injured in an Accident. The Richmond, Ind.. Sun of Friday. April 24, contained the following: General Manager W. I. Allen, of the C. R. M. met with a very painful accident late yesterday afternoon. Man ager Allen, in company with A. L. Kuehn, engineer of maintenance of way, was returning from Marion, where he had spent the day, to the south enO; yards. He was aboard the motor car. which Was being driven at a good rate of speed, to make way for the south bound afternoon train due here at 3:45. Just as the motor car was rounding the curve near the gas house a switch en gine pushing several cars ahead of it was seen. Motorman Fell, who was iti charge of the car, reversed the level and attempted to stop the machine, but could not do so in time to avoid the coliisioai. Manager Allen, seeins that there was to be a collision, jumped from the motor oar to the track and attempted to reach the small bridge at the Bide of the trustle work. Before he could do so he was hit by one of the box cars, anil half jumping, half falling, was knocked to the ground fifteen feet below. He lighted on his head and shoulders. The ambulance was Quickly sum moned and removed him to his home on South Eighth street. Drs. Grant ami Colburn attended him, and on the first examination found no broken bones. H is badly bruised, however, and was com pelled to remain in a sitting position all niht. Mr. Allen was so badly bruised and swollen that a careful examination could not be made by the doctors, and he may be hurt, internally, as he com plains of a soreness in his chest. Mr. Allen was much hindered in get ting from the car by a blanket which is used as a covering. Mr. Kuehn was in a better position for setting from the car than Mr. Allen and was able to jump to the ground. He was only slightly hurt. The motorman, Mr. Fell, showed much nerve and stuck to his post. He was not badly hurt. The mo tor car can be repaired with little "ex pense to the company. Mr. A.llen said that no one was to blame, but that it was purely accidental. The engineer of the switch engine knew nothing of the approach of the motor car. and the occunants .of the car knew nothing of the switch engine. It was very fortunate that the acci dent was not more serious, as it han pened on the trestle work several feet above the ground. Old Soldier to the Hospital. Saline, Kan., April 2S.

The United States supreme court has decided the case of Jackson W. Giles vs. the board of registrars of Montgomery county, Alabama. Giles is a colored man, who was denied the privilege of registering as a voter under the constitution of Alabama, and the case was brousht to test the validity of the portion of the state constitution bearing upon this ciuestion. The relief sought was denied on the ground that the case was po litical. Justice Holmes, who delivered the cu.iiion. said that for the court to inter fere would be unheard of relief in cases presenting only political questions. Jus tice Harlan dissented on the ground that the court should have declined to assume jurisdiction. Justices Brewer tnd Brown united in a dissent, in which they upheld the Jurisdiction of the fed era.i court on the ground that, .as Giles was denied the right of voting for a member of congress by the refusal of the right to register, a federal iutistioii was involved. Justice Holmes' written opinion was not made public, but he made quite an extended statement from the bench, re citing at some length Giles' petition, in which Giles claims to sneak not alone for himself, but for 5.000 other negro adults of Montgomery county, who he claimed would be disfranchised as a result of enforcement of the suffrage provisions of the state constitution of 1501. The case had been dismissed be low for want of Jurisdiction, but Justice Holmes said a minority of the court were of the opinion that the supreme court should not confine itself to the question of jurisdiction, but should con sider the case on its merits. He then announced that it would be impossible to srant the relief asked. He cointed out that while Giles is contending that the franchise system of Alabama is a fraud he declares his competency as a voter under it, and closed by saving ihit it was beyond the power of a court of ecuitv to grant the petition. Justice Harlan, in dissenting, said that in his opinion the case should have been disinUsed for want of Jurisdiction alone, as was done in the circuit court, and h? criticised the court's opinion, saying that it left the question of juris diction in the air and that he was not willing to be a party to such a pro ceeding. Justice Brewer delivered the other dis senting opinion, in which Justice Browt concurred. They expressed the opinion that the circuit court should have been reversed, and that it should be directed to assume jurisdiction of the case. Lakeside Meeting to Close. Chicago, April 28. Gregor K. and Dan McKenna, American Derby candidates, which were almost equal favorites in the third race, for 3-year-olds, at Lake side Monday afternoon, met defeat. The race went to Soothsayer. Dan McKen na beat Gregor K. three lengths for sec ond rrlaoe. Lakeside's race meeting, which will come to a close today, will probably be the last at that race track. It is not likely that John Condon and Jim O'Leary, who control the track, will fill the dates which have been allotted to the course for a fall meeting. The two owners say they are tired of the opposition which they have to meet every time they give a meeting, and are ready to throw up the spomre and the syndicate book along with it.
