Trice Raid Claims Again to Re Rejuvenated. Appointment of a Commissioner and His Duties. HE WILL 1SE PAID $2,200 Work to Cover Period From April to Sept. 1904. Hi- ail It i h m. Alien t line lmcusnes 1 1 ev ident Roosevelt's Speeches. The apopintmnt of Senator James L. Allen of Doniphan coiuiry as commis sioner to pass on "union military script." usually known as Price raid commissioner, under the law passed by the lecent legislature, comes as some thins: of a surprise to the politicians. Jt as generally supposed that Represent ative John Francis of Allen county was elated for this job. i. lovernor Bailey says, however, that there were no other up-! plieants for the place except Senator Allen. The price laid claim have been out standing since the war. They are claims fcgainr-t the government for damages i e- ulrin from the destruction of property M driving away horses and stuck by the Price raiders. At one time script whs issued on the claims, and the na tional government made an appropria tion to reimburse the state for the pay ment of the claims, but th original claims have become so mixed up and there are so many fraudulent claims fcinong them that the state has never faid them.. .Most of the claims are now in the hands of speculators who have purchased them for a few cents on the dollar. In every legislature for the past twenty years there has been a lobby working for an a ppi opria t ion to pay the Price raid claims. The last legislature passed a irtvv providing- for the appoint ment cf h commissioner by the governor to investigate all the claims presented and to leport on their validity. An ap propriation of $2, 20 was made to pay th.e commissioner, and the time for the; woi k mis! from .April, r.nl.1, to Septem ber, 1:"4, which makes the salary $123 a month. William Allen White insists in his statement that President Kooseveit is pot much of a speaker. Moreover tie reiterates more strongly than ever his allegation, made several years ago, that MeKinley was not a scholar and that be never had an original idea concern ing economics. It was this statement which caused many Republicans to hold up their hands in horror at the audacity of the idea. .Mr. White is frequently referred to as one of the most important members of President Roosevelt's 'kitchen cab inet." and it is doubtless true that he is on more intimate terms with the chief executive of the nation than any other man in the west, but he speaks out his mind with regard to the presi dent's public utterances. He says that Kooseveit has not said an important thing on his western trip. In an editor ial on the subject of the president's speeches the Emporia editor says: "Tire Lawrence Jeffersoni.m which abused the Gazette last year for say ing MeKinley couldn't make a speech is now saying the same thing; about Roos velt. and will not be abused for if. For Kooseveit is a man about whom one ran tell the truth without offending people, though why the same thing isn't true about MeKinley Heaen only knows. Neither Kooseveit nor Me Kinley are orators. MeKinley wasn t a scholar and had no original idea in economics; Kooseveit is a scholar but he balls up his ideas badly. Both are great men doers not sayers of things. But the truth is that the popular idea of a great man is that he is built on a big plan, that he can do everything bet ter than his fellows. "Some way people think because a man Is a president that he must be able to run faster, jump higher, eat more, free more, think better and live differ ent iy from common foil;. The truth about a-reat men is this: They are the ordinary every-day common twodegLp-d man. Plus some one reat virtue. Me Kinley was mediocre- in iut-iloct, me diocre in outage, mediocre m many important things: but in tact, which is the essence of hind s, MeKinley wa a giant, lie wa. lan of heart; th gieat things he did were wisdom of th healt and nut of the head. The Span ish war was a war of sympathy; t ti ll) quisltion of the Philippines was ooiKiuest out of sympathy for the heathen, as MeKinley himself said, lu cause it was our duty before t lod to help them. The campaign for Cuban rre-iprex It y w hich MeKinley was about take up when he was killed was a tympathet ic campaign. MeKinley was a tiiPnt Heart. "I :orse velt has mote MeKinley more bo-k heme is more familiar education than learning, an with economics than MeKinley, but it do.-sn't seem to oo mm liuiili gooa. Kooseveit is not brain: neither is heart, as Mi Kini- y was: Roosevelt is sar.e nerve intelli gent courage. He is as common as Me Kinley was: his speeches are eivnt only when they are brave. M'-Kmley's speeches were ii-ea t only when they w ere from the heart, as w as the eonfe i crate soldier speech at Atlanta, and his chlldiess man speech at San Francisco Kut Kooseveit has said no important thing on this trip. Hundreds of men in tins i i ui ti try, and probably with a wear's preparation scores of men in Kansas, could do as well as Kooseveit is doing' He is not great as an advocate; he speaks as we-ll as MeKinley, who has le ver written a line that will live even for an hour. MeKinley had a style like a legal document; Roosevelt talks like a ""ins uooa. let both are great men -that very ordinary men, plus on si-eat virtue "if Governor Bailey desires to recall b's dinner imitation to the Gazette it is still time." Captain Clad Hamilton will retire from the attorney general's office to morrow. He expected to make his resignation effective April 1, but Attor ney General Coleman persuaded him to remain with the department until May 1. The place which he has filled is knowr as special assistant etttornev grneral. ?nd up to July 1 it pays Sl.srui, but the recent legislature cut down the Kilary to $1,60(1. R has not yet been an nounced who his successor "will he. and Attorney General Coleman is now in Washington. Captain Hamilton has formed a law partnership with Georga II. Whitcomb and ihey havp opened offices in the fi'ond door of the Crawford building. The tirm narns is Whitcomb Harnil tor. Several months ago Captain Hamil ton refused to be an applicant for re appointment in the attorney general's office, btu at numreri his determination of luild'ng up his own law practice in stead of working for the state. It is seldom that the public service secures as faithful an official as Captain Ham ilton. He is one of the few who look upon a public office as a veal public trust and works as hard or harder for the sta'e than he would for himself. This is the testimony of every one who has oyer had occasion to know any thing about Car-tain Hamilton's public: services. KILLED. Explosion Wipes Out a Mine at Frank, N. W. T. Disaster Was Caused Primarily by an Earthquake. Spokane, Wash., April 20. A private dispatch from Frank, N. W. T., states, that a terrible explosion has occurred there, wipine out a mine and killing TO people. Frank is a few miles east of Pernio, R. C, where the terrible explo sion occurred a few months ago. About two years ago H. R. Frank, of Montana, began developing the coal li-l-.i. driving in a tunnel for about two miles. Above this tunnel the coal was s' op pel out for nearly 100 feet. It is supposed here that the earthquake has oi ushed in the walls of this slope, im piisonins the miners. The output of Flank's mine is estimated at COO to 1, l0 tons of coal per day. MAKE FOOL REQUESTS. Gofernor Railey Receives Many Concerning President. Governor Bailey is in receipt of great many reriuests I rom politiciana and others over the state that he ar range for them to have an interview with President Roosevelt next Friday night. Most of them say that they want "only a weird" with the president in private, and insist that it will re quire scarcely any time at all. Why it is that so many people havs such a desire to talk to the president in private is a mystery. The majority doubtless want to make reauests of some sort of him. Many are doutitles vain enough to believe that their personam-,- will more or les impress thu president and that he will remember them in the future. President Roeise-. velt is the kind of a man who is im pressed only by those who "do things,'" those who have accomiilished things. All such reouc-sts meet with a fiat I neuial from iovernor Bailey. "It would require a whole day in Topeka for the president to give 'just a minute' to these recjuests," said the governor to day. ''Resides. I have received notifl- cation from Secretary Roeb that posi- tively no private interviews wiil be i arranged for." j The governor is also receiving letters i from a number of people, with requests i that he hand them to the president when he reaches Kansas. All of these j will be turned over to Secretary Loeb for his disposition. One man. who sent his letter to the president unsealed and j requested the governor to read it, asked that the president simply notice his j son, Theodore Stanley (Governor Baik y refused to divulge the last name) aged ore and a half years, when the presidential train passes through the I town w lr re he lives. There is one communication address- ed to the president which will doubtless j receive his consideration. It is written ion three sheets of foolscap and is writ ten in German. Nobody around the governor's oiiice knew what it was. nor even that it was meant for the presi dent, until ex-Lieutenant Governor Hatry Riohrer was consulted. The communication is signed by B. Prungardt, of Victoria, Ellis county, as a member of the Ellis county Repuhii- 1 can central committee. It is to thank the "landsvater" or "father of the roun try." for his kindness in consenting to stop and address the Russians at Vic toria in their native tongue. It also j re ites the history- of the Russian ''oi- nny: heiw the immigrants originally left j their homes In Germany and went to Russia because there they woulel escape being Impressed into military service, but afler Russia began again to make i them do military duty they left there land came to America and to Kansas, the Heaven-blessed republic. LOSS OVER A MILLION. Salt Trust's Chicago Plant De stroyed by Fire. Chicago, April The plant of the International Salt company, located at South Chicago, and three boats lying in the Calumet river was destroyed by tire last night. The loss is estimated at $1. -.'.-.0,0.00, that of the International Salt company being placed at $700,000. The building of the salt company plant covered nearly sixteen acres along the Calumet river, in these buildings was stored tons of salt and the greater part of this is said to have been 'ruined by tire and water. Included in trie com pany's losses are the docks extending l.ni'O feet along the Calumet river. The tire threatened to spread to a number of grain elevators along the river but aft er a hard fight the flames were gotten under centred. About ir.0 cars were consumed. Fifty of the burned cars are said to have belonged to the Michigan Central Railway company. Another Cable Revolver Match. Xew York. April 29. Negotiations are in progress for another cable revolver match between French and American experts and if conditions satisfactory to both teams are arranged, the contest will probably be held in June.

SEVEHTY TlhlWEHOT. The mother of the New Countess of Yarmouth 3Iakes a Statement Regarding Financial .Matters. CALLS IT H03IACISG In Referring to Various Stories About Settlement. Winds Fp With a Gentle Roast of the Newspapers. Pittsburg. Pa., April The follow ing communication to the Associated Press by Mrs. William Thaw, mother of the Countess of Yarmouth, explains itself: "There is one line of romance to call it by no harsher term largely indulged in by newspapers which the Associated Press is asked to correct. The particu lar instance now referred to is that of the 'settlement' in collection with the marriage of the Earl of Yarmouth. Briefly the facts are these: (Each is put into a separate paragraph in order to be more clearly understood). Miss Thaw, now the Countess of Yar- mouth. at the death of her father, was lett (as were each of five children by his second marriage) with an independ ent fortune of nearly half a million dol lars. Half of this amount, was immedi ately put into trust tor each child, the income only to be available during their life time. "Part of the remaining half of the fortune of each of the children consists of one-tenth share each in the "William Thaw Coke Trust," which is tied up ab solutely and irrevocably, save as to in come. "What is known as the 'free estate of Miss Thaw, amounting to about one half of the whole estate, has been by consent of herself and lord Yarmouth, formed into a third trust, to be man aged by the Fidelity Title and Trust oeirnpany of Pittsburg, together with one individual trustee. "The income from all three trusts will be paid to the countess of Yarmouth, except, a small complimentary fraction al income (nothing like what at various times has been stated) which she, with out suggestion from the other side, al lotted to the earl himself. In case of her death, it is arranged that the in come from about one-fifth of her total estate will be paid over to, or invested for the benefit of, the title and estate of Hertford, to which, should he outlive his father, the earl will succeed. "These," the communication con tinues, "are the plain, unvarnished facts, given through the Associated Press by Mrs. Thaw herself. At no time has there been any hitch, whatever be cause of financial questions, neither has there been any demand by the earl or his family, the whole being arranged by Miss Thaw and her immediately family. as a proper recognition of the position I the earl and his countess will occupy. Mrs. Thaw adds the following com ment: "The whole discussion by the newspa pers has been simply a feeling about in the dark. Not one item of information has been given heretofore by anyone. The freedom with which ciphers are thrown about by printers is typical of the age." Xew York. April 29. The Earl am Countess of Yarmouth sailed on the St. Paul today for Europe. 13 HURT If! WRECK.

The announcement of the discovery of the cause of small pox was made today by Dr. Councilman of the Harvard Medical school, at a meeting of the Boston society of medi cal science. The announcement 'is the outcome of the investigations conducted by Dr. Councilman. Dr. George Burgess Mngrath and Dr. Walter Remsen Brinekerhoff. with the co-operation of the Boston board of health during the recent epidemic of the disease in this city. It has been determined that smad pox is caused by a micro-organism representative of the lowest form of an imal life. This fact serves to show a relation between smallpox and such diseases as malaria, and to distinguish it from many other Infectious disease caused by bacteria. WEDS AT TDK 10.

There Is Also Rain at Topeka and Elsew here. Snow was falling at Dresden and Hays City, Kansas, this morning at 7 o'clock. The predict ion of the weather bureau, for the state, announces rain and snow general tonight. The thermometer at the government weatner nureau reu .i degrees mis morning between 6:e0 and 10 o'clock. At Podge City and Bresden the ther- 1 mometers were at freezing and below early this morning and at Baker, Con cordia and Maeksville the mercury was within two degrees o freezing early this morning. Today's corn and wheat region bul letin, issued by Observer Jennings, says: "Cloudy weather prevails over thia state and the northwest part of Mis souri. Rain has falien all over Kansas except in the extreme southeast portion, and it. was raining in the southwest and snowing in the northwest portions of the state this morning, with a decided fall in temperature except, in the extreme eastern counties. "Rain or snow bss fallen in the Oma ha, Minneapolis, Des Moines and Chi cago districts, with lower temperature in the Omaha and Minneapolis, and higher temperatures in the other dis tricts." The forecast sent out for Kansas to day is, "Rain turning to snow tonight and Thursday. Colder tonight. High north winds." Rain was general over the state last night and at 7 o'clock this morning the indications were for more rain, turning to snow. Rains were recorded as fol lows, up to 7 o'clock this morning: Baker. .42: Concordia. .tV): Dodge City, 1.36; Dresden, 1.60 in snow and rain: Hays City, 1.38 In snow and rain; Maeksville. .94; MePhersnn. .76: Man hattan, .D8; Osage C it v. .10; Sedan, .2S; Topeka. .04: Toronto. ,30, Wichita. 1.32. The follow-ing maximum and mini mum temperatures were reported for the 24 hours ending this morning at 7 o'clock: Baker 74, "4; Concordia 76. 34: Dodge City 70, 32; Dresden 76. 26; Fort Scott i. 56; Hays 74. 30;.

At Willlston the temperature was down to 22, at Prince Albert 12, Moorhead 22, Helena 22, Havre 22. Calgary 16. As usual Medicine Hat is more or less responsible for this cold wave. Ob server Jennings explains it thus: "Mon day there was a barometric trough from the north to the eastern part of the country between the Rocky moun tains and the coast. It was passing eastward. The southern end had the most country to cover and could not travel as fast as the northern end. The result was that the south end split off. Then a low- came in from the northw-est near Medicine Hat. and the result was that the temperature fell. "The cold weather and snow will not injure the w-hcat but tender vegetation may suffer. It will be safe to rovr anything growing that is liable to be affected by the cold. Snow may reioh Topeka this afternoon or tonight. This will be hard on the cut worms but it may not injure fruit at all." Snow and such cold weather on the 29th of April is quite unusual in Kan sas but snowhas fallen in the state as late as May 7. That happened in 1SS5. Professor Snow, at Lawrence, reported a few flakes on that day. which was the latest date that snow had fallen in 18 years. At the same time snow fell in Topeka. Dodge City. Maud, Oswego, Yates Center. Wellington and Salina. At Sherlock. Kan., on April 24. 1SS1, four inches of snow was recorded. The wind this morning waa northwest i blowing 12 miies an hour.

OUT OF !0WA. i btop I President Makes His Last at Keokuk. Got. Cummins Surrenders Him to Gov. Dockery. GREETED BY 30,000. Speech Ten Minutes Long Was Heartily Applauded. lleceifes a Fac Simile of First American Flag. Keokuk, la., April 29. The president left Iowa at 10 o'clock this morning over the Burlington en route to Quincy and St. Louis. At the station in this city Governor Cummins of Iowa bid him good by and Governor Dockery of Mis souri welcomed him to the state of Mis souri. The party arrived at 8:30 over the Rock Island from Ottumwa and was met by the reception committee, consisting of city officials and prominent citizens, who escorted them to carriages. In the carriage with the president was Mayor Andrew J. Dimond and John N. Irwin, ex-governor of Arizona, and I'nited States minister to Portugal un der MeKinley. Escorted by the old Fifth band and six companies of the Iowa National Guard, the procession moved along Main street, which was lavishly decorated with flags and banners and thronged with fully 30.000 people. At Rand park the president, standing In the pit of a natural amphitheater, made a 10-minute speech, which was heartily applauded. The grave of the Indian chief Keokuk, from whom this city gets its name, is located here and the carriages were halted for a few mo ments beside his monument. The party was then driven back to the train and departed southward at 10 o'clock. The president while here was given a minia ture fac simile of the first American flag made by Betsey Ross. This banner was of silk with the thirteen stars and was made by .Mrs. Rachael Albright of Fort Madison, la., who is the 91 year old great granddaughter of Betsey Ross. President Roosevelt today received a telegram from Frank T. Deyo. the state tax commissioner of New York, inform ing him that the court of appeals of that state had handed down a decision declaring constitutional the franchise tax law. The president is heartily grateful over the outcome of the case. TOUCHES ON MONEY AT QCINCY. Quincy, 111., April 29. President Roosevelt stopped here for about 4a minutes this morning. A large crown was on hand to greet him, and amid cheers he was driven to Court Houw park, where he delivered a short ad dress. He discussed the question of currency, and said in substance: "Our currency laws have been recent ly improved by specific declarations in tended to secure permanency of values But this does not imply that these laws may not be still further improved and strengthened. It is well nigh univer sally admitted that our currency sys tem is wanting in elasticity: that is, thu volume does not respond to the varying needs of the country as a whole, nor to the varying needs of different localities Our people scarcely need to be remind ed that grain raising communities re quire a larger volume of currency al harvest time than during the summer months. The same principle applies tc every industry, to every community. Our currency laws need such modifica tion as will insure the parity of every dollar coined or issued by the govern ment, and such expansion and contrac tion of our oui-rency as will promotly and automatically' respond to the vary ing demands of commerce. Permanen increases would be dangerous, perman ent contraction ruinous; but the needed elasticity must be broueht about bv provisions which will permit both con. traction and expansion as the varying needs of the several communities and business interests may reeiuire." LOOK INTO BRUTALITY. What Investigation Committee Will Attempt to Do. The legislative committee to investi gate the insane asylums are commenc ing their work at the Topeka asylum this afternoon. As a preliminary the members of the committee called on Governor Bailey this morning to learn his wishes concerning the investiga tion. The governor told them that he want ed them to go to the bottom of all re ports of brutality and find out exact conditions in the asylums, and the atti tude of attendants and other employes toward inmates. In addition to this the committee will investigate the subject of the class of persons employed in the asylums. The general run of attendants receive only $20 and $25 a month, and some of the committee are doubtful whether the right kind of persons to take care of the insane can be secured for any such wages. "The persons in charge of the insane ought to have some knowledge of that class of diseases; they ought to be able to study individual cases intelligently and they should be persons of infinite patience," said Representative W. S. Jenks, one of the members of the com mittee. "It is a question in my mind whether persons with these qualifica tions can be secured for the wages that are paid. Attendants should certainly have some other qualifications beside the mere brute force necessary to han dle the unruly." The committee will first look the asylum through and examine various attendants and employes concerning general conditions, after which individ uals outside the asylum who are sup posed to know of instances of brutality on the part of attendants will be ex amined.

Brock, one of the regents of the State Agricultural college, is down from Manhattan rod;v lookintr lin the status of some of the appropriations for the Fort Hays experiment station, which is under the control of the State Agricul tural college. A number of the appro priations are for the current fiscal year, and will expire June 30, only two months hence, and to be available they nrast be used within that time. One appropriation of $2,0nO is for dwellings, and another of $1,500 is for a water plant and skimming station. Mr. Brock consulted the attorney gen eral's department today as to whether the appropriation, being for a specific purpose, would expire with the close of the fiscal year in which it was made available. It is held that it must be used before June 30 or it will revert to the state treasury, and that gives only two months in which to do this work. There is also an appropriation of $2,500 for teams and equipment for this fiscal year, and $1,000 to be used in co-operation with the I'nited States bureau of irrigation, but the teams and equipment can be purchased and w-hatever Is neces sary of the other appropriation can be used within the time required.

To W eigh in 128 Pounds at the Kingside Derby Day. Louisville, Ky April 29. Kid Broad has been here a week training for his contest with Penny Yanger. He will train up to the day of his contest. He says he is in better shape now than ever befove: that he can whip Yanger, and not only that if he does he will take on Hanlon. McGovern or Young Corbett. Kid Broad is training at Schmidt's, at Shelby and Rapp streets. He boxes daily with Mastison and "Shang" Paretto, who belongs here and lights as "Sammy Phillips."

Speaking of the merits of McGovern and Young Corbett, Broad says: "Corbett hits like a mule kicks. Mc Govern hits faster, but not so hard. Terry uses short-range punches, Cor bett swings for his, and when he hits the ceiling nacks. "I know I can beat McGovern, too. But he has seemed unwilling to meet me since our bout in Chicago. The rec ord of that fight will show you that I gave as good as he sent. He knocked me down in the first round. I was down eight seconds. When I got up I threw one at Terry and he lit on his ear. "In my contest with Yanger I'll be cutting in every second. Yanger will be boring in with his head down, but a few jolts to the jaw will straighten him. "Understand, I expect no easy money, but I know he can't. hurt me, and at the finish you'll see me a wdnner. I rend in the newspapers that Yanger will go to California to take on a few bouts. I'll bet he never will buy his ticket. "In my contest with Yanger I will weigh 12S pounds at the ringside. I had only two pounds to get rid of when I came here, and I am down to weight now. I expect it to be a royal battle. I've always made good in Louisville, and 1 am going to show my friends at the Auditorium on Derby night that I am better than ever. 1 will work right up to the day of the fight and will leave nothing undone. "Parson" Davies, my manager, and Tom O'Rourke. of New York, will he behind me when hostilities begin, but the only second I'll need will be a fanner." This contest takes place under the direction of Robert C. Cray, manager of the Southern Athletic club, which hns had all the best contests here. Tim Hurst will be referee. The sale of tickets shows that a record-breaking crowd will see the fight. ANOTHER EIG CONTEST May Be Arranged by the Southern Athletic Ciu,b. Louisville, Ky., April 29. Manager R. C.

It is the greatest foe to human life and happiness, and the most loathsome and hateful of all forms of Blood Poison. The virus of this awful disease spreads quickly through the system and contaminates every drop of blood and affects every bone, muscle and tissue of the body. This monster scourge begins with a tiny little ulcer or sore, sometimes so small that the natural eye is deceived, but this little sign of infection is soon followed by swellings in the groin, a red rash or eruption upon the skin, the mouth and throat become sore and the hair and eyebrows fall out, and if the progress of the disease is not checked now, it passes on to another and even worse stage, when copper-colored splotches and foul and offensive ulcers break out upon different parts of the body, and not even the muscles and bones escape the ravages of the destructive poison, which penetrates deeper and deeper, and gradually tightens its coils and crushes out the life. Contagious Blood Poison brings suffering and pain to the innocent as well as the guilty, for it is often communicated to others through handling the clothing of one infected, using the same toilet articles, drinking out of the same vessel, shaking hands, and in vari ous other ways. But this merciless disease does not stop at adult age, for it is transmit ted to children, and is responsible for the fearful increase of Scrofula, Catarrh, ill develop ment, sickening sores and stubborn, deep-seated skin troubles, so common among children; and these patient, helpless little sufferers must share the humiliating penalty of somebody's sin. If people only knew the horrors of blood poison they would shun it as they do Lep rosy, and fear it as they do deadly Cancer and would never rest till every atom of the poison was forever destroyed and the disease completely stamped out. You can't do this with Mercury and Potash, for, while they drive in the eruption and sores and all external signs of the disease, it is still raging within the bed', and only by increasing the dose and saturating the S3'stem with these drugs can it be held in check. And thus the battle between Contagious Blood Poison and Mercury and Potash goes on till the Stomach rebels and will no longer retain the medicine, the bones become affected, and Mercurial Rheumatism, chronic indigestion and other troubles develop. Until the discovery of S. S. S., the great vegetable blood purifier and tonic, no cure was known for Blood Poison. Like Leprosy it would run its course and was as suiely fatal as Cancer. S. S.

Announcement is made at Milwaukee that the Chicago. Milwaukee St. Paul railroad is now in position to build in its own works every locomotive demanded by the en tire system. The new locomotive works have been completed and have at pres ent a capacity of between seventy-live and eighty engines yearly, which will be sufficient for the needs of the com pany for several years to come. The new locomotive works are just outside tha city limits of Milwaukee and cost over $1,000.1)00. Employment wiil be provided for between Tl.OoO and 4,000 men.

The immense increase in gross earnings 1 all eaten up with increase in operat ing expenses. It may be. of course, that some un usual expense is being charged up against the operating account, instead of being saddled upon the road in the form of capital account. If so. it is of course a move which puts the road in beitr condition to m.-et possible de pression in traffic. There has been some intimation that the trouble was Third Vice President Kendtie k, head of the operating depart ment. It is known that Mr. Kendrick has authorized certain unusual expendi tures, but he holds such a high rank with the railroad men of the country that it is generally taken for granted that the fault is not with him. Ken drick had an opportunity to accept a $,1f,0n0 job with the Westinghouse Air Brake company, but he was in such, high esteem with the Santa Fe manage ment that surfici. nt inducements were offered to keep him with that company. It is not likely that the increase in operating expenses can be accounted for by the increase in the pay of a large portion of the employes, though some ot it is doubtless due to that.

Hi Jolly, famous the world over as the man who introduced camels from Arabia into the arid deserts of Arizona and New Mexico for freight carrying purposes, died at Quartzsite. Yuma county, a short time ago, after one of the most picturesque careers in the history of the west. With the death of Hi Jolly an -old question has been raised are there camels in Arizona today? Among old mining men, the prospectors who know tile innermost recesses of the territory, the question is answered in the affirma tive. They claim that a small herd of camels still lives on the alkali deserts of the southern part of Arizona, known to but few and serving no purpose but to be objects of superstitious reverence to ignorant Indians. "That there are camels in Arizona at the present time is a fact known to few," said Mr. Horace Winters of this city. "I myself conlirined the fact about three years ago, and while I was nert fortunate enough to see the 'ships of the desert' myself, although 1 searched long for them, I discovered unmistakable proof of their presence in the territory. "The only importation of camels into the Vniteel States for utilitarian pur poses, so far as I know, was made, as 1 recall it, in 1S72, and I was then in Arizona, engaged in the mining busi ness, and located at Yuma, perhaps the hottest place on the globe. "The question of transportation in Arizona in those early days was an im portant one, so important that it cost a small fortune to ship a box of cigars from San Francisco to Fort Yuma. All supplies came from the former place by vessel to the mouth of the Colorado river, and thence by river steamer to Yuma. Fort Yuma was one of the most important military posts in thfc southwest, and thousands of tons "of government freight were brought there every year. All freight carriers made barrels of money, and the carrying charges of the Colorado River Steam boat company were appalling. Bulk, and not weight, counted. "Thus a government wagon was charged for 011 the former basis, obtain ed by measuring from the tip of the tongue to the extreme rear of the bed. To obtain the height of the vehicle the steamboat people would elevate the tongue, and that height went and to be paid for. The tariff sheet t modeled in proportion, and as cnarges naa 10 oe piiiu 111 ge.iei, steamboats had a regular mine wealth. "I was in Yuma in the summer of 1872. It was frying hot. The sole topic of conversation was the expected ar rival of a herd of camels, which, ac cording to rumor, was being imported from Arabia. I shall never forget the day they landed. They came off tne I steamboat early in the morning, about I fifty camels, with Hi Jolly at their j head, and then began the strangest i procession that ever set foot on Ari i zona soil. j "The main street of the scorching lit 1 tie town was lined with Mexicans, min ers, cowboys, Indians, gamblers, dance hall girls, as picturesque a crowd of people as was ever brought together. "With great solemnity Jolly led the way, with the troop of camels slinking sheepishly in the rear. They were not in good condition, and their humps were flabby. To the ignorant Indians and Mexicans they were supernatural and regarded with awe. The beasts were put in a corral outside of town. "For davs nothing was discussed but camels. To the men in Yuma the freak of Hi Jolly came as a wholesome diver sion, and. no circus with its red and gilt wagons ever created half the sen sation the Arabian beasts of burdeai did. Jolly believed they would solve the transportation eiuestion in the arid des erts, and there were many who shared the opinion. But the camels were not a success. "Thev were utilized at times, experi mented with, but their use was tiever put on a paying basis. "It was found that a camel required more food than a horse. 1 don't know how the camel does in Arabia, but in Arizona he was a ranK failure. 1 ne clumsy animals were used around Yuma for some time, but with indiffer ent success. "I came to know Hi Jolly and found him one of the most eccentric charac ters I have ever met. He was unique. No other man would have conceived the idea of importing camels to Ari zona. After I left Yuma Hi one day, in disgust, opened his corral and drove the camels out to shift for themselves." DON'T NEGLECT A COLD. The first stage of catarrh is what is commonly known as "catching coid." It may be in the head, nose, throat or lungs. Its beginning is sometimes so severe as to cause a chill and considera ble fever, or it may be so light as to not hinder a person from his usual bus iness. In perhaps a majority of cases little or no attention is paid to the first stage of catarrh, and hence it is that nearly one-half of the people have chronic catarrh in some form. To neglect a cold is to invite chronic catarrh. As soon as any one discovers the first symptoms of catching cold he should at once begin the use of Feruna accovding to directionson the bottle, and the cold is sure to pass away without leaving any bad effects. Unless this is done the cold is almost sure to end in the second stage of ca tarrh, which is making- so many lives miserable. If Peruna was taken every time one has a cold or cough, chronic catarrh would be practically an un known disease. Miss Belle Walden, Jamestown Y., writes: "Peruna has no equal as a catarrh cure. I haven't -enjoyed perfect health for over ten years, suffering with a troublesome case of catarrh of the bronchial tubes. My father having used Pevuna for different ailments and with very good success advised me to try it. It only took six bottles to fee-t a permanent cure. "I now enioy perfect health. say I am a perfect picture of health compared with what I was before using Peruna." Miss Belle Walden. Mrs. Joseph Towne, Devil's Lake. Mich., writes: "I have tried Peruna and have found it an excellent tonic and cure for catarrh. i "I was a sufferer from catarrh of the throat and also of the stomach. I was unable to take doctor's medicine and was about to give up in despair when I was advised by a friend to try Peruna. which I did with best results. I could not eat even the weakest diet without distressing my stomach, but after tak ing the first bottle of Peruna I was able to eat anything that I desired." ef- People had was all the of iS1 WOMEN Trfi NX PE-Rli-NA BELLE WALDJ' 1 j'N.

Sadie "Viola Adams, -Crab Orchard, Lincoln county, Ky., writes: "When I was ten years old I had whooping cough and chills which left me in a bad condition, and I have been partly deaf since. I had roaring in my head and ears, and running ears. I had throat trouble and a cough. I was short of breath, had a rattling in my chest all the time, sharp pains in the left side, severe headfhe and pains in the shoulder, weakness in the stomach, heavy, bearing down pains, unable to stand on my feet long. I was also trou bled with scanty menstruation, was al ways weak and exhausted and had cold hands and feet. "I am now as well as I ever was.

April 29 Through a youthful love affair George Guntner. an em ploye of the Burlington railroad at Lin-e-oln, has come into possession of a large fortune. He was once engaged to marry a young woman in the east, but the engagement was broken and later the younp; woman married a wealthy I mine owner named Ringer. A Jew years ago Mrs. Finger's husband died i and last winter Mrs. Pinger went to i Lincoln 10 visit her former lover and his wife. In the winter -Mrs. finger oiea in a hosnital in Kansas City after be queathing to Gunther several gold mines estimated to be worth $3,000,000. The Phillipsburg Herald, which is charged with being a "boss buster's" organ, speaking of the recent meeting in Topeka to organize a new party, is of the opinion "that great significance will come out of the meeting."

Rawlins county thinks it has a right to the office, and it is said W. K. Loofbourrow of At wood, will get into the light. He has been school teacher, editor, preacher and real estate dealer. His home of five acres, with Beaver creek running through it, is a lovely place. Blue grass, fruit trees and shrubbery has made it one of the most desirable places in At wood. There has been a big tree planting boom in Gove City, in which the coun ty officers took part, besides the busi ness men and even Kditor Trimmer.

The paper has three full page adver tisements, and the remainder is devei ted to Oakley and Logan counties, with many views of town and country hornet.

He savs the only opposition he has for sec retary of the board of raui-oad commis siemers comes from those who want the position, and "this is politics," he said.

He has desire to again locate in the Sixth dis trict, probably at Peloit. He is pr?z! of the race he made in the three cornered fight for congress in 1900. when he polled about 6.000 votes. He has large roinin'T interests in Montana. Congressman Reeder is to be con gratulated in the matter of his selection cf postmaster for Oakley. The mass of the patrons of the office favored Mrs. Louisa Kerns, wife 'of John W. Kerns. who was nostmaster at the time of hia death in June last. Since then Mrs Kerns has been acting postmaster until she was appointed a few days ago. Some of the politicians objected to Mrs. Kerns, but the congressman wisel turned them down, and made the ap pointment of the one who will be en tirely satisfactory to the patrons. If there is any one living in the Sixth district who doesn't know Tim O'Brien, of Burr Oak. manager of the Chicago Lumber company's yard at that place since Noah's Hood, let him stand up. Tim is a great lodge man. belonging to most of them, and attends all of their conventions as delesate. He is also a. Republican, like Cy Leland, a fighter, and is entitled to the best there is in the shop. He also goes to political con ventions, but all the same the yard anel business is conducted in an up-to-date, stile. It is said Plainville has her second newspaper, which is more useless than a fifth wheel to a wagon. That town has had her splendid Gazette for many vears which Mr. and Mrs. A. M.

If there are no more Vanderbilts about to marry, the country can now rroeftd to the consideration of other mat ers.

Congressman Hearst saved himself tiie necessity of denying rumors of his r r proarhing marriage, simply by not jerniitting the rumor to get abroad. Oeneral Miles is about the first army officer heard from who endorse he abolition of the canteen but what Miles says on some matters goes a long way with some people. Knemies of General Funston have con tended that General Miles' report, if made public, would substantiate their charges ngninst the Kansan. Miles' re port has been printed and there is a notable absence of what the knockers expected. William It. Hearst is a typical Amer ican in the strenuosity of his existence. He seems to find no difficulty in man tiging three big newspaper properties, tilling the position of congressman, run ning for president, and taking a bjidal trip to Europe all at the same time. There have been a number of notable weddings recently all characterized more or less by extravagance and ostentation. It is refreshing, therefore, to learn that when William R. Hearst, who probably is as rich as any of them, was ready to marry, he went quietly to church accompanied by a few friends and had the ceremony performed with no more display than Is indulged in by the most ordinary citizen. San Francisco Bulletin: The surest way to succeed is not to sigh after the moon or weep for other worlds to con quer, but to do to the best of one's ability and, if possible, better than any body else could do it, the job in hand, whether it be the sweeping out of a More, the writing of a newspaper arti cle, the cure of a patient or the winning of an action at law. A man, doing his work in a slovenly manner while day dreaming of great deeds he would like to do, will never rise very high. Any. body can dream, and nearly everybody does dream, but it is the exceptional man that tits his dreams to his work and thereby makes them come true. If one will .beam let him dream about his present task. Indianapolis Journal: A statement is going the rounds that an organization of vcfiunx is preparing to make war on Pension Commissioner Ware. The i Sanitation is the Union Veteran Un ion, an organization instituted for the one purpose of agitating an increase or pensions by political methods. It is not the Grand Army nor any relation to it. It met in Washington last September when the National Encampment was in "ssion there and made an unseemly spectacle of it -f If by its internal dissen sions. A man at the head of it cannot be deposed, and he conceived that he can form a political organization com posed of all the old soldiers and their relatives who can elect a congress that win provide for unlimited pensions. While there are always men who will be dissatisfied with the administration of the pension bureau because there are thousands whose claims are not and cannot be allowed, it is safe to say that Captain Ware is giving very general satisfaction. He has removed all the officials who are objectionable to vet erans and is pushing the work of the bu.en u with zeal. ONE WAY OUT. In calling attention to the ingenious speculations of a French writer the New York Mail and Express coins a new word and raises an interesting ques tion. This writer is M. Jean Izzoula. who is familiar with the isthmus and canal history. In a recent number of the Paris Figaro he recalls the fact that Texas became a part of the Amer ican union because of the preponderance of Amej-joan influence and interests in that territory, not because Americans outnumbered the Mexicans. lie believes that the state of Panama, rosy a part of Colombia, presents a parallel case. It is possible that Co lombia may reject the canal treaty and in that event M. Izzoula looks for Pan ama, to secede and throw in its fortunes with the United States. An American protectorate over Panama seems to be what he expects. There is no hint of the possibility of its becoming one of the family of American states. "This conclusion does not seem far fetched," says the Cleveland Plain Dealer in rommenting on the foregoing. "Panama already enjoys a large meas ure of autonomy, has many special privileges and might feel disposed to re sist sacrificing her political and com mercial welfare to the prejudices or necessities of her sifter states, to whom the great canal will be of less vital importance. If succession from Colom bia should result the little state could not stand alone and an American pro tectorate would follow as a matter of course. 'Even should the Colombian congress fail to ratify the treaty it in doubtful whether a veto from Bogota would be allowed to kill a project of such vast importance to the whole world's com merce. The Nicaragua route is, of course, an alternative, but one that just now finds little favor. The treaty's rejection would b-j embarrassing, and the New York paper above quoted thinks that the 'Texasizing' of Pana ma might prove to be a satisfactory so lution of the difficulty."

From the Philadelphia Record. A turn for the bettor the roulette wheel. There are some people who would cheat at solitaire. Soldiers and safe robbers are obliged to do a lot of drilling. It doesn't take a contortionist to pat himself on the back. The fellows who are adepts at mak ing love don't make the best husbands. Giving to charity doesn't keep people poor unless they spend a lot of money advertising the fact. "When a man isn't giving in to his wife," says the Cynical bachelor, "he is generally shelling out." Wigg "Did he inherit his money or did he make it?" .Wagg "Worse than either. He married for it." Blobbs "Is Fourflush engaged in any business?" Slobbs "Well you might say that he is a dealer in cards." Sillicus "How did he acquire his reputation for such great wisdom?" Cynicus "Why. there isn't a subject under the sun that he can't remain silent about." Mrs. Muggins "How do you know their marriage is a failure?" Mrs. Bug gins "Gracious! Why has income is so small that even alimony is out of the question." There's a girl I'd like to hug her. For she s surely it. She is like the grocer's sugar. Sweet and full of grit! POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. Men with polished pates ought to shine in society. Chief among the successful man's vir tues is audacity. The man who has the floor is sup posed to stand to reason. A crank is a man with a large hobby and a small conscience. Kind words are pleasing to the ear, but they won't, till an empty stomach. Occasionally the stock-ticker is a for tune teller but more often it isn't. If a man is slow to express an opinion he might economize by sending it by freight. A woman can hold a dozen hairpins in her mouth a great deal easier than she can hold her tongue. The man who invests his coin in a get-rich-quick scheme seldom has to bother about making his will. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. From the New York Press. When the wife's away the men w-ill play. When a woman forgets to ask if her hat is on straight it is because she isn't wearing one. You can't teach a man who is in love very much about the sensations of chills and fever. Women tell such plausible white lies that the second time they do it they be lieve it themselves. When a woman keeps going to a mir ror and looking into it it is a sign she is wondering if some man thinks some other woman is prettier than she is. GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe.

Mayne of Charle voix discussed the matter of marriage and divorce before the state association o judges yesterday. He took the view that a proper remedy for the marital troubles that seek settlement in court is to make marriage more difficult. This is radical enough to startle the bench and bar. Such a policy carried to its ultimate enforcement would put an end to divorces. It has been the experience in Cuba, Porto Rico, Mexico and other countiies that when marriage is made difficult, or even a little mote expensive than the people consider necessary, they do not marry. The result is that 60 or 75 per cent of the younger generation have only putative fathers. Divorces, desertions, voluntary separations, non support cases and other ruptures o the marriage contract are numerous enough, all will admit, but we would Hardly cart to exchange present conditions for a worse one. The specific reforms suggested by Judge Mayne are: A three weeks' in terval between the procuring of a li cense anel the marriage ceremony to gether with two publications of the li cense; an increase. of the age limit to 20 years and IS years for males and females respectively, except in cases where the judge of probate considers advisable or urgent, and requiring the applicant for a license to show a moral character and an ability to support a family. This latter would knock mar riages between American heiresses and foreign titles galley west. Judge Mayne would restrain parties from applying for divorce until thty have lived apart for a period of one year. He would withhold a decree for six months after the application, and he would enjoin the parties from mar rying again for another six months. In the case of the offending party he would make the injunction for two years. Judge Newnham advised, if criminal charges are contained in the complaint, immediate prosecution of the defendant upon the criminal charge as soon as the divorce is granted. None of j these suggestions appeal to reason as enect:e remedies, except pernaps in a few cases. Injunctions against divori ed parties are difficult to enforce, for the jurisdiction of the court is limited. Those who desire divorces and have the money can get them regardless of the laws of Michigan, which are pretty lib eral. They can obtain them in other states until there is an interstate agree ment upon a uniform law. In like man ner divorced parties can remarry at any time with perfect- safety by leaving the jurisdiction of the enjoining court. People cannot be made models of pro priety by legal injunction. Public mor als and private deportment depend largely upon home training and re ligious training. Children who are well brought up, who have character im presserl upon them; who are cautioned by their parents regarding the import ance of character in their life partners and have the Solemnity of the marriage relation drilled into them from child hood, are not apt to make many mis takes and few of them are found in the divorce courts. Home training always has been and always will be 'more pot ent than stringent laws for the regula tion of conduct. HEAD MEN AitE II EKE. Officers of International Railroad Y. EC. C. A. Arrive.

The recent eomuieted census of the United States reveals some singular facts relative to the towns and cities that compose the nation at large. There are quite a number of so-called "cities which are so ridiculously small In popu Union as to make it. a matter of wonder and amazement that they are really cities. The popultions of a few such cities may be given as illustrations. The city of Johnson, Kas., has a population of only 15, and the population of the city of Coronado, in the same state, is even less, bein only 10. There are several cities in Kansas which have very diminutive popula tions, as follows: Bird, 8S; Brainerd, 70; Ford, 82; Freport, S3; Horace. HO, Hugoton, 54: Richfield, 61: Tribune. 62-, Ulysses. 40. The citv of Siloam Springs. Mo., has a. population of 9S. The city of 1 irigantine, N. J., has a population of 9!t, but. small as is the population oi that city, it is nearly five times as lara as that of the city of Lavallette, in the same state, which has a population of only 21. The city which exceeds ah the others in the diminutiveness of it nopulation is the city of Rainy Dak?, Minn., which has a population of only Chicago Chronicle. Matt Hunter Gets 25 Years. Osceola, la., April 29. Matt Hunter, who a year ago at Mount Ayre. shot and killed Homer Holland, a college athlete of national reputation, as the result of a dispute over cards, was today sentenced to 25 years in the penitentiary. Recently a little Chicago girl, just be ginning her classics, was asked if she Knew who Homer was. She replied: "Ho mer was a tine old poet, whose chief works were the Oddity and the Idiot." Life.

TIIE GOODRICH CASE. Statutes Say That He Is Liable to Impeachment. May Lead to Direct Test of Old Soldier Law. Impeachment proceedings may be commenced against Mayor Bergundthal by H. K. Goodrich's attorneys, David Overmyer and P. H. Coney, in the nature of a quo warranto suit. They have discovered an amendment to the old soldier law which gives a new twist to the situation, and makes it possible for them to oust any official from office who disobeys the provisions of the lay. This amendment was passed "in 1901, and reads as follows: "Penalty. Any state officer or any board composed of state officers, coun ty or city officers, or any board who have been appointed and have charge of the penal or charitable institutions of the state who shall wilfully disobey or neglect to obey the provisions of this act, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and subject to impeach ment as provided by law, and prose cuted as other cases of misdemeanor; and in either of said cases shall be ad judged to have forfeited his or her of fice." This is an entirely new section, and in the statute book follows Immediately after the old soldier law. The penalty for failure to obey the law used to be a fine of from $5 to $2a but this is changed by the 1S01 amendment. It appears from the reading of the amendment that the members of the city council are equally guilty with Mr. Bergundthal, for they voted to confirm the appointment. It takes the mayor and council to make an appointment, and if Mayor Bergundthal should be convicted, and the law should be held good, it seems that the result would be a general ousting of the mayor and twelve councilmen. All of the council men voted in favor of the confirmation of Mr. Mitchell, whom Mayor Bergund thal appointed to succeed H. K. Good rich. There are two points to lie taken into consideration in dteiding the case. First, is the law c-onsiitntionnl. or is it class leg islation: and second, if the law is consti tutional, did Mayor Bergundthal vkilatc it? There is one provision of the law which says that old soldiers, shall fie preferred when they have equal qualifications and does not say who shall be the judge of the qualifications unless it is the mayor. The supposition is that it is left to the mayor to decide in regard to qualitieaUons, uuc1 not that every case will have to be brought before the supreme court to have tin point ad judica.tcd. GOT A SOAKING. T. D. Fitzpatrick Tells About Kansas Rain. T. D. Fitzpatrick, of Salina, who U looked upon as one of the congressional possibilities of the Fifth district wheu Congressman CaWerhead retires, is in Topeka today and called on Governor Bailey. He says that central Kansas received a hard rain last night, whick will put the wheat forward again. "Salina is making great preparations for President Roosevelt's visit." said Mr Fitzpatrick today. "Wo look for s crowd of from 10,000 to 12.000 from out side of town, and there will be a great assembly at the Union Pacific depot when the president's train arrives. Spe cial trains will iirobably be run down the Lincoln branch, up from McPher son and in on the Missouri Pacific from the southwest. Eighty students win come from Bethany college at Binds, borg alone." LOCAL MENTION. There was a social at Seabrook church last night. Postmaster Jas. M. Chisham of Atchi son was in Topeka yesterday. The Elks will have a social session for Al G. Field Thursday night. Scarlet fever is reported in the fam ily of F. Conway, 1215 North Harrison street. Thomas F.

One is scarlet fever, which is in the Dibble family. 1217 Central avenue, and the other is measles, in the Whitmore family at 1207 Fillmore Atchison is worrying because it has to pay more for brick paving than To peka does. Atchison ought to have a "town row" among its paving contrac tors, and then it would see the prices take a tumble. The' most noisy and enthusiastic crowd of rooters that ever struck the Washburn baseball park was there yes terday afternoon at the game between two negro baseball nines. They could give pointers in yelling to any college crowd. Porter Mitchell has taken a position wi' "-a Edison Electric company tern p until Superintendent Goodrich is to surrender his office assuper- int, -nt of the city electric light plant to which position Mitchell has been ap pointed.

T. 11. IJAIN TO LEAVE. Well Known Lawyer Enters Employ of Anti Saloon League. During the latter part of May T. II. Bain and family will leave Topeka to make their home in Seattle. Wash. Mr. Bain is closing up his business affairs here preparatory to the removal and expects to make his permanent home in the state of Washington. The removal is made in hopes of bettering the health of Mrs. Bain who is troubled seriously with asthma. Mr. Bain will take a po sition as the attorney of the Anti-Saloon league for the state of Washington on a fixed salary and will probably devote his time in the future to temperance work in that capacity. The state of Washington is a liquor state with local option laws which in most localities are rigidly 'enforced. The state has been the scene of severe con tests between the saloon and the tem perance people and Anti-Saloon league is an active organization. It will be Mr. P.ain's duty to assist in the prose cution of violations of the liquor laws and to lecture in the interests of tem perance. The work wdll be congenial to him as he has been more or less of a temperance worker during his entire residence in Kansas of about 22 years. He was at one time secretary of the State Temperance union. Mr. Bain has long been a well known attorney here and is an active member of the Rev. Charles M. Sheldon's church. He is a consistent although not radical temper ance man and is ably fitted for the du ties he is about to assume. The family has friends and relatives in Washing ton. Federal Indictments.

Mr. tioodrich i.i fill ing out Mr. Munson's unexpired term, and I suppose lie can't be ousted until May 21." It is probable that the same rule will be applied to License Collector P. II. Forbes and H. Cfrigs. street commissioner, whose terms expire May 21. Mr. Origgs has asked to be allowed to remain in of fice until May 21. and Forbes says he will step out on May 15, as a compromise measure. A3 Seen by the Poet.

'Cider" Smith Sajs We Are in a Critical Place. Doesn't Expect Much llain Un til May 7. THE WEATHER SIGNS, They Indicate What Conditions Are to Be. Corn Crop Forecasted in Gov ernment Proverb Book. This is a critical period on the weather calendar. "Cider" Smith announced Tuesday afternoon that "we are now between two storm periods, the 23d ot April and the 1st of May. The preciui tation will probably be lisht until we come to a mote important period from May 7 to 10. The temperature is too cool and even for much in the way of to:-:r:s." According to the weather proverbs, as compiled for the government by Briga dier and Brevet Major General W, B, Hazpn. while chief signal otlicer or the armv the last of each month and thu beginning of each month has more or less important bearing on the period to follow. One undisputed proverb is ins month that comes in good will go out bad. Another is "April cold and H'tij1"""11' nuw v isconsm s rate 10 tie fills barn and barrel." "A cold and moist April fills the celloi nnd fattens the cow," and "When April blows his horn 'tis good for both hay and corn," are two proverbs whicn haw much to do with the months to follow. There id hope of this being a good fruix year, in some localities, as there is proverb which says "Lightning in the spring indicates a good fruit year." There iias been considerable lightning. Much depends on the amount ot thun der in May. lor "if there is much thun der in May, the months of September and August will be without it." This duesn't make much difference to prohibition Kansas, so far as the wine is concerned: "Kaia, in the beginning of May is said to be injurious to wine. The TortiiKuese have contributed the following May proverb: "A windy May makes a fair year." The h'panish come up to the sciatch with the following proverb: "Witter in May is bread ah i the year." The "unspeakable Scots' are l esiior.sible for this: "Mist in May and beat in June makes the harvest right soon." "A dry May is followed by a wet June. A normal wet and cool May brings a wtt June. An abnormal warm May brines a wet June. Dry May brings nothing." That is a complicated proverb, but it is guaranteed to be ac. curate. Frosts may cause a scare, but "hoar frost on the first of May indi cate a good harvest." The black thorn, which iron's only hereand there in southern Kansas, is responsible fob much, according to this proverb: "The later the black thorn is in bloom after May 1 the better the rye and hay har vest." Alfaifa is such a new product that so far no proverbs relating to it If Mav have been found. Another is will be a gardener, he will not till the Eranaries." o The corn crop is affected by th month of May. "Look at your corn in May, and you'll come sorrowing away; look at it again in June, and you'll come singing another tune." The undertaker, even, watches May, for he nrobabl knows of the pro-verb "A hot Ma makes a fat church yard." There are so many things contingent upon May ana the following weather. Even the bees have to do their turn, at just the light time, to make hay. The bee proverb is, "A swarm of bees in May is worth a load cf hay; but a swarm in June ain't worth a fir." If you are thinking ubout changing your red. white or blue winter under-, wear, don't do it now. Follow this proverb, "Cast not a clout till May be out." The first must be watched for "if it rains on Philip's and Jacob's day (first) a fertile year may be expected to fol low." Therefore President. Jloosevelt must be discomforted by rain while in Topeka or the fertile year will be lost. This will be good news to the owners of gardens which have been dug and burrowed by dogs; "dogs digging or making deep holes in the ground are said to indicate rain thereby." So. too, "if a dog eats grass rain will follow," but if he eats sweet peas it only indi cates cussedness on the part of the dog. Kites have something to do with the weather. "Kites flying unusually high are said to indicate fair weather." The length of the string, it seems, has noth ing to do with the height at which the kite is flying. If you see a robin perched on the top most branches of a tree and whistling, a storm is coming. Another good indication of rain, not in the book, however, is a baseball game. If a game is scheduled look out for rain. If you are not done planting, then hark ye to this: "do plant the bean when the moon is light, and you will find that this is right; plant the pota toes when the moon is dark, and to this line you always hark; but if you vary from this rule, you will find you are a fool; if you always follow this rule to the end you will always have money to spend." You may doubt some of these and may read the eld Bedfordshire lines, as follows: "Well. Dunoombe, how will be the weather?" "Sir, it looks cloudy altogether. And coming across our Houghton Clreen, I stopped and talked with old Frank Iieane. While we stood there, sir, old Jan Swain Went by and said he knowed 'twould rain; The next that came was Master Hunt, And he declared he knew it wouldn't. And then I met with Frmer Blow, He plainly said he didn't know, So. sir. when doctors disagree. Who's to decide it. you or me?" WILL BE A WHITEWASH. Report of Illinois Boodle Investiga tion Committee. Springfield. III., April 29. The report of the boodie investigating committee will not be submitted to the house to day. The committee did not complete last night's session until two o'clock this mornir.g. At least one more wit ness, Walter L. Fisher, secretary of the Municipal Voters' league, is to be heard. Mr. Fisher arrived this morning and will be given a hearing this after noon. He will explain the origin of the Mueller bill and will show that the trac tion companies had nothing to do with its preparation. He will also ex plain his interview with -CJovin and Auerback, the New York capitalists, in the office of John F. Wilson tfivee months ago. He asserts that the meet ing was purely accidental. The trac tion question was discussed in a general way, but no attempt was made to agree upon any legislative proposition. The report of the committee has not yet been, agreed upon in detail. It is understood, however, that it will find the charge of Speaker Miller unsub stantiated by evidence, but will relieve the speaker of any intention of mis representing: the matter, taking- the view that he drew wrong conclusions from the statements made to him. SPECIAL MESSAGE On Freight Hates by the Gover nor of Wisconsin. Madison, Wis., April 29. Governor La Follette sent a special message to th legislature today upon the freight com- mission bill. It is the most exhaustive treatise upon the subject of raiiroaa i freight charges ever compiled, com- j prising 128 pages, and is intended to re- j tute the statements and arguments that j were made by raih-oad men and agenia j before the general assembly committee, j The message says: "If the legislatures of Illinois or Iowa i have given to the people of those state 1 laws which enable them to secure j rates lower than the Wisconsin rates for j like services, then the people of Wis- I consin are wronged and it is the duly of the legislature to remedy that wrong. These conditions furnish the strongesv j reasons for critical examination and j comparison of transportation charges in j and between Wisconsin, Iowa and Illi- RoiS. "A comparison of rates on cattle to Chicago and Milwaukee from points in Wisconsin, distances in both cases be ing about the same, shows Milwaukee to pay an excess of 25.9 per cent. A com parison of rates on grain from points in Wisconsin to Milwaukee with rates from points in Iowa to the Mississippi tiver, distances being simiiar, shows the percentage of excess for Wisconsin: i Wheat, li.R; coarse grains, 34.2. "The average rate for ten classes of general merchandise in a comparison of rates prevailing in Iowa and Wis- 14.10 for Iowa, or an excess for Wis consin of 32.34. "Figured on what is known as the ton-mile basis, the average rate on gen eral merchandise is 20.21 cents for Wis consin and 21.62 cents per ton mile for Iowa, showing an excess or overcharge for Wisconsin amounting to 33.11 per cent." For agricultural implements there are 14 comparisons and the average for these shows that the rates in Wiscon sin were 6.39 per cent higher than In Iowa. A table is presented comparing the rates to Chicago on wheat, flour, etc., and on barley, corn, oats, rye. etc., from 25 points in Wisconsin, with the rates from an equal number of ship ping points in Illinois, the distances be ing the same in both cases. The discrimination against the Wis consin shipper in this case amounts to 22." per cent. Various other rate tables on different commodities show similar comparisons. BRIEF TELEGKAMS. Mt.

Harper of Burlington, la., chairman of the com mittee on resolutions presented the re port to the committee, which was adopted. The resolutions declare: First That the building' of good roads in the TTnited States is now of para mount impoitance to national prosperity ard eommei eial supremaey. Second That we recommend the h:r mtmious co-operation of the township, county, state and national governments in the furtherance of this great end. Third That the association believes that the appropriations heretofore made for the building of railroads, canals and the improvement of livers and harbors has been wise and beneficent, but an appropriation for the improvement of our common highways has now become necessary to extend the blesrings of in telligence and to promote a hifrn order of citizenship among ail classes of peo ple and to meet the ever growing neces sities of the agricultural interests. Fourth That we recommend the establishment throughout the T'nited States of a complete and perfect organ ization from the nation down to the township, which organizations shall overlap each other and make a complete national association.

The removal of the Topeka Industrial institute from its present iooation in South Topeka to a farm a short dis tance from the city has been made pos sible by recent gifts of money of suf ficient amount to place the school, on a substantial basis tor the future. There is still required a thousand dollars mi cash which the management of the in stitute is now trying to raise. While the securing of this amount will not relieve the institute entirely from the struggle it has always had for its maintenance it will place it in a way I to do a much larger and more effective wol k. An option upon SO acres of lasid has been recured by the trustees and the purchase must be concluded by May 5. Definite promises have been made by persons in Massachusetts and Colorado for the erection of separate dormitorifs for the boys and girls after the removal of the school from the city. Other gifts have beeh promised, but all are contingent upon the location outside of town. A signed statement has been issued by the trustees in explanation of the public request for further aid.

KAISER'S HOUSES AT HOME Ha Sends a Train Load, Including Carriages. Berlin. April 23. A trainload of Em peror William's horses and equipage left here for Home today so that the emperor when calling- on the pone need j not use a carriage of King Victor F;n j manuel whose liveries have not yet been seen inside the papal precincts! As the emperor had to send one royal vehicle he concluded to send two with eight coach horses, three saddle horses and twenty eoarhmen, grooms and hostlers. The story is that the empress is not going" to Rome with his majesty be cause she is not willing to call on the pope on account of her strong protest- ant beliefs. She is considered to be of sufficient importance officially as to re i quire an authoritative denial which cites the fact that the empress call- d j on the pope during her former visit to I Rome, and that her fractured arm is j really the cause of her staying home. 0IiTH TOPEKA. i I e n i f.r thi Kmil.ei!

New York, April 29. The interstate commerc e commission resumed today its investigation into the complaint of William Hearst against the anthra cite coal carrying roads. John Hd monds. sales agent in New York for the Heading Coal and Iron company, testified that the company sold about 1, one. one. teas of coal a year, payment for which was always made the finan cial company. He could not tell ih average cost of selling the coal in tins city. In an unequal fight between Clarence and Martindale Yottng on one side and Fremont Campbell on the other Mar tindale Y oung- was .severely injured and Mr. -Campbell was bruised about the face. Clarence Young and Campbell were joint partners in the drug stoves at S36 and 501 Kansas avenue. They dissolved partnership and Young and Campbell met at the store at 501 and after a short quarrel ca:n- to blows. Martindale Young intern-rccl and took a hand in the fight ami after striking Campbell in the face and knocking him down was struck by Campbell on the left hand and forearm with the glass door of a cigarette ease, which had been thrown down and broken earlier in the tight. The sharp glass cut through the Mesh, tendons and arteries and made a wound from which the victim will not recover soon. Young was taken to Sturmont hospital. The cut in the forearm was a bad one, and it took nearly fifty stitches to close it after taking up the arteries. lr. Munn says that he never saw a more profuse flow of blood from any wound, and it is a wonder the boy did not die from loss of blood be fore reaching the hospital. Clarence Young's version of the trou ble is as follows: "My brother and I were invoicing the stock about 5 o'clock when Monte came in and started the trouble. He is dis satisfied with the deal we made in di viding the business, in which I got this store and he the Ninth street one. He kicked and struck in.-, and I ran from him, and we all, myself and the boy and two clerks, begged him to quiet, down and behave. He acted like, a crazy, man, and had me cornered when the. boy interfered and struck him. Tue cigarette case was knocked down and broken. Monte got the door of the case, with the wood still attached to one side of it, and raising it, made a lunge at ine. 1 ran, ana men ne wneeieu aim slashed at the boy's face with the sharp glass. My brother threw up his left arm to ward the blow, and it near ly cut his arm off. The doctors say he will lose the use of his hand. Before Campbell used the glass as a weapon, he tried to strike me with a cast-iron euspidore, and the clerks took it away from him. I intend to prosecute Camp bell to the limit." Campbell is a cousin of the Youngs. C. F. Young and Campbell have dis solveoLjiartnei snip. Campbell was seen at the" Ninth street store this morning and said: "I am sorry it occurred, and admit that I was partly to blame. At the same time I think the blame was no more mine than theirs. They were both on me and I had to fight. If -Rome' had stayed out there would haye been nothing serious. Clarence kicked me in the groin and then the boy got in and hit me in the face. (A mark on Camp bell's nose made good this statement.) 1 did not strike at the boy's face with the glass, and as I remember it. his arm was across his breast. I would rather have let them beat me up than to hurt that boy' as 1 did, for we were the best of friends. The trouble was all over when Clarence came up to me and re newed it by abusing me and when I went after him he ran." Campbell is of slender build and does not look strong but he has an ungov ernable temper. russiaITshocked I Thursday's Trading at Our Cotton Wash (boons; Lace MIG. on DFoiciery sciions will be greatly to the advantage of the buyer, as our SPECIAL SALE will be continued with a full and unbroken assortment of all goods offered.

The steamer Oanfa from the Orient was at Kobe when the great review held in the em. peror's honor took place. There were rive Ions lines of battleships and cruis ers, ail handsomely decorated by nags. The Japanese squadron 'numbered battleships and cruisers and 2:i torpedo boats, and about a doien foreign war ships were present. This fleet was re viewed by the emperor from the cruisei Asma. The emperor's message to the lieet extolled the progress of the navy and urged renewed efforts. A grand ball was held at. night and when the emperor retired to his villa at Maeo the lleet concentrated there, 41 vessels be ing brilliantly illuminated. Two Japanese papers publish stories to the effect that the American officers sent over to watch the construction 01 the Manila gtfnboats built for the Unit ed States by the Uruguay Dock com pany were bribed and passed work whif h resulted in structural defects in the first gunboat. The Niroku Shimoo says that defects in the construction of the first gunboat were reported by Jap anese officers who took her to Manila,, and as a result the four eunboais now on the stocks are being reconstructed at a heavy loss to the builders. The Japan Mail discredits the story of the bribery. A copy of the Singapore Straits Time received by the Oanfa says two Chinese, or.e of whom is believed to be Kang Yu Vei. the noted reform leader, have been arrested at Darjeeling. charged with conspiracy against China and been or dered deported. Kobe papers report that a voung Japanese recently dashea into h burning school to save the em peror's portrait and was found burned to death by firemen with the portrait in his hands. MUTT UIVEN" DECISION". Winner Over Fitzgerald in a Clean Fast Contest at Frisco. San Francisco, April -J9. Referee Ed die Graney declared Jimmy ISritt the winner of one of the fastest and best tiehts ever seen in San Francisco. Willie Fitzgerald of Brooklyn, N. Y'.. was the man who put up the good contest against the California wonder. Britt was the cleverer and faster of the two men. and landed two blows to Fitzger ald's one, with the exception of the last round when Fitzgerald put the San Francisco boy the the floor with a left swing on the jaw, Britt's superiority was manifest during the entire right, in the first round Fitzgerald sent Britt down but the Californian was at no time distressed. He knew exactly what he was doing and when he got up he started at Fitzgerald as if the fight had just commenced. The gong, however, ended the round. Fitzgerald had the advantage of Britt in height, reach and muscular develop ment, but he was not neariy his ad versary's equal in speed or cleverness. Britt's succession of right and left swings constituted some of the prettiest work ever seen here. Britt devoted most of his attention to Fitzgerald's stomach and landed numerous left punches that took the steam out of the Brooklyn boy. Britt occasionally landed on Fitzger ald's jaw, generally at the close of the round, but neither man was apparently able to seriously punish the other. Fitz gerald showed that he could punch hard with either hand and could take lots of punishment. Britt demonstrated that he is the fast est and most scientific man that has ever appeared in the ring. C I1INESE MEDALS Presented to Nurses oftha Hospital Ship Maine. New, York. April 2;'. The seven nurses from the Mills training school for male nurses who saw service in Chi nese and South African waters on the hospital ship Maine, have received their Chinese medals from the British gov ernment through Sir Percy Sanderson.

Miller, president of the famous "lftl" ranch company, one of the first men to trail a herd of cattle from Mexico to the interior of the I'nited States, whose death has just been an nounced, made a statement to the j sneriff of the county denying any I knowledge of the murderer of George Montgomery, a Santa Fe railway de i leetive who was assassinated at his I home at Winfield.

TiLlE TO BUILD ROUPS. Gen. Miles Advocates a Govern ment Appropriation. St. Louis, April 29. The second day's session of the national and international good roads convention opened with a better attendance. Rev. W. Banks Rog ers, S. J., president of St. Louis univer sity, delivered the invocation. President Moore then introduced Gen. Nelson A. Miles, U. S. A., and president of the national highway commission, who made the piiacipal address of the forenoon. Gen. Miles was received with great enthusiasm by the delegates. He spoke on the subject, "Military Roads and a National Highway," and said, in part: "I know of no one element of civiliza tion in my country that has been more neglected and that is suspectible of be stowing a greater blessing upon our people than the improvement of out lines of communication and avenues of internal commerce. "Our government has expended five hundred million of dollars for the im provement of our harbors and water ways and the attention of the public is being called to our postal roads and av enues of communication that are most useful and important to ail our peo ple. "If such expenditures of the national treasure have been made in the past for the development of railways and waterways, is it not now a most appro priate time that the improvement of our roads should receive national atten tion and governmental aid. "The property of the people, the wealth of the nation comes from thj ground. The factory and foundry in ci ease and utilize the products of the soil and mine; agriculture is our prin cipal industry so the great mass of our rural people are our main dependence: their patriotism, their public spirit. their welfare must ever be the salvation and glory of our republic. Therefore, every measure whether by the national gov ernment the state, county or municipal authorities that can promote the wel fare of the people should not be with held, but should be most earnestly ad vocated and most generously bestowed. "Any roads that can be useful for in dustiial and peaceful pursuits can be utilized for military purposes. We are not an empire or a military despotism, and therefore are not devising means for purely military purposes." H. R. Jesse, president of the Univer sity of Missouri, spoke on "The Relation of Roads and Schools." He was fol lowed by former Governor J. R. Hogg, of Texas, who made an impromptu speech on the subject before the con vention. The resolutions also favored increased appropriations for the road division of the agricultural department and the appointment of a committee of one fvom each state to appear before con gress for the purpose of securing na tional aid in road building. Charles P. Bane, of Huntsville. Ala., who came before the convention in behalf of the Brnw-nlow bill introduced at the last session of congress, seconded the reso lutions in a strong address. At the last moment a telegram of re gvet was' received from Andrew Pat tullo, member of Canadian parliament and president of the Canadian good reads association, who was to have spoken on "The Highways of Canada." The telegram stated that important legislation before the house of parlia ment required his attention there. NEVER SAID IT. Gen. Baldwin Is Cleared of Damaging Charges. VA'ashing-ton, April 23. Colonel Millci of the inspector general's department who went to Denver to investigate the interview said to have been Riven by General Baldwin, in which the latter spoke in an improper manner of th Filipino and negro soldiers, has report ed to Secretary Root that the interview never took place and that the man who reported it had been discharged from the paper. It appears from Colonel Mills' report that General Baldwin did have an interview when he tirst arrived at Denver, and it was this interview to which he referred when he subse quently stated that he was misunder stood if he was interpreted as saying anything reflecting upon the Filipino o- colored soldiers. Colonel Mills' report is supported by a great many affidavits and much testimony which has been presented to the secretary. HAD BE ASS FOR DIN N EH. Atwood W. B. C. Entertain the "Old Boys" of the G.

Buys Chair3, Table and Footstools Made of Elk and Beer Horns. Denver, Col., April John W. Gat'-s has bought six unique pieces of furni ture for his "den." There are two large armchairs, a settee, a table, a footstool, and a' smoking yet, all made of elk and deer horns. The largest pair of horns was found in Koutt county, htin between two trees that had low branches. The elk had been caught and starved to death. Another pair was one of two pairs' found locked together in northwestern Colorado. Two bull elks fought, their antlers became locked, and both starved to death. The settee is made of live pairs of eik horns. At the center of the back a pair of deer horns branch out from a bronze mounting shield. One pair of elk horns forms the arms and branches for a part of the back of the settee. One pair that has never been separated from the connecting bone of the skull spreads from the center of the bark and branch es down to the floor, forming the back leirs of the settee. One of the chairs contains three and a half pairs of elk horns. The back less are made of one piece, which has three branches. The other chair con tains two and a halt" pairs of elk horns and three pairs of d rr horns. A pair of youna: eik horns forms the arms. Hervy eik horns form the seat rest, and branches extend to the floor, making the -legs. i The table is made of two pairs of eik horns, the branches forming the rungs. The footstool has four elk horn tips for legs. The smoking set is composed of the stub ends of one elk horn and two deer horns, hollowed out to make re ceptacles for cigars, matches, and ashes. FIREMEN MADE $300. They Are Now Discussing the Pro posed Gymnasium. The total receipts of the firemen's benefit entertainment last night were ?t'.'.'c. of this one-haif. or $24S, Ix-lons to the fire department, and out of i; must be paid the orchestra. This wiil leave some thing over i:!00 in the fund to be used for equipping the fire depart ment with gymnastic apparatus. Chief Wilmarth will within a few days call together the officers of the fire de partment tor a conference in regard to the expenditure of the fund. The chief fpaestion to be decided is wheihr the whole fund shall be used for equipping one large gymnasium for the whole city at fire department head quarters, or whether the fund shall be divided, and each of the four stations given a share. It was Chief Wilmarth's original plan to have a large room provided in the city building to be used for a gymna sium for the deoartment of the entire city. Such an arrangement was pro vided for in the plans for the depart ment headquarters submitted by Chioi Wilmarth. but this project was rejected by the city council. They thought that the room in the bu'.hlinir was needed more for city offices. The result is that there are three or four vacant rooms, which are rot needed for city offices, and no gymnasium for the fire depart-, mer.t. Lacking accommodaf ions for the en tire fire department, it is probable that each station wiil be given its owi equipment, and allowed to work out it.i own salvation. Mot of the firemen seem to favor the purchase of on!r a few nieces of appa ratus at this time, and gradually addiny thereto as the men find out what they need. Chief Wilmarth said today in speak ing of the entertainment and its re sults: "First. I want to thank the people on behalf of. the fire department, for th:dr splendid patronage. We hope that none were disappointed. Of course we pre sented the show without knowing anv thing about it except that it was high ly recommended by prominent fire chiefs. There may not have been as many fire pictures as we expected, but that is net our fault. We ordered :he company to send everything of that sort it had in stock. 1 believe that the department was really more interested in seeing to it that the people of To peka got their money's worth than they were in the financial success of the en tertainment. "We are going ahead with our plans for the gymnasium as quickly as pos sible. The committee which backed this entertainment will meet in a day or two. and probably another committee will be appointed to determine what wo will do with the money. We can't tell yet what will be done." The total attendance last night has not been closely figured but it was about 2,300. There were a good many tickets sold and not used. The ticket seller at the door took in about $175, which is a remarkably heavy gate saie. Pe3tana to Get Place. While Attorney General Coleman has made no announcement regarding the successor cf Cart.

The enthusiastic lover of the straw berry considers that its virtues are les ion, and it has not a single defect. In yeais past the first appearance of the strawberry in northern markets was a surer harbinger of summer than the first swallow; but now the southern nerrv comes so eariy aim utrvmruij of season for colder latitudes, the sign has no significance. No longer a neraia with snlendid banners of red and green proclaiming the approach of the rare June days; the opening of the banquet season of the year when Nature dis tributes her largess -with over-generous hand that there may be enough and to spare for the needs of every creature and kind. The much, loved straw berry was orig inally a plant of temperate or colder cli mate, glowing wild, sweet and luscious in the freedom of open air and sun shine. The chief characteristic of the wild berry is its sweetness, which ex ceeds that of the garden berry. Culti vation has greatly increased the size ot the fruit, and also, according to the approval of most tastes, improved the flavor. Like most fruits, one of the greatest charms of the many conceded to the strawberry, is the delightful color ef fect presented, a glory of splendor sur passing the skill of man. All who fully appreciate and respect the charms of this immortalized fruit agree that this embodiment of perfume that was so sweet to the nostrils of Viril- of flavor that enraptured the palate' of Ovid and graced the banquets under the shadow of the Acropolis and on sunnv Pinician Hill, this giver of health and creator of pleasure should seldom be submitted to the perverting and desecrating fire, but eaten when fullv ripe, firm, cool and while still holding the spark of imprisoned sun shine which gives the outdoor berry that effervescent flavor and scent whicn is said to have been one of the chict factors in molding the barbarian of Europe into his present higher civilized form They certainly are to be preferr ed fresh from their dewy garden beds, cooled to just the proper degree of re freshment by the chill night air But their pristine delights are spent before the town-dweller can enjoy them; but still much of their individuality and the otiio flavor is ureserved when the berries are carefully picked, pro tected in transportation and served en tire and uncapped, with little bowls of powdered sugar Desiae el "i i AxrKor. tviev can be serveu nwu tho Vine thev are most delicious -temmed and served witn powaeieu. u gar and thick, rich cream CHIEF PROPERTIES OF THb STRAWBERRY.

In rare cases strawberries do un doubtedly disagree with individuals The t-onble mav arise from the use ol Vjer-ies which are stale. They are very perishable, keeping but a short time un cooked, and should never be cooked in order to "save" them, when the least sign of defection is shown. fcKin erup tions and hives are sometimes charged to the eating of strawberries, and pos sibly with ;rood reason if there is some peculiarity which may be aggravated by this acid fruit. But even with in jurious result, they prove their usefui- ness. as trey not oniy mane Know n pre?,'-nCe of" tome insidious disease but proclaim the undoubted nature oF it.

But the strawberry is not the only offender, or always an offender in these noted conditions, but possible injury may result in this way from eatin them; but the well-ripened fresh berry cannot of itself create mischief. The exceedingly small seeds of the berry are useful, as they stimulate without irri tating: the intestines, and in this way are useful as a laative when used with judgment. Coming early in the season, they are one of the best as most de lightful of tonics for toning up and clearing out the system preparatory for the hot w eatber.

STRAWBERRY BAVAROIS. Take a quart of fine ripe berries fresh from the vine as possible. Sprinkle four tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar over them and rub through a sieve. Set this puree away in a china bowl to keep cool until wanted. Put three-fourths of a box of gelatine to soak in a cup of wa ter for half an hour; add a cup of sugar and when dissolved add the strained juice of an orange and half a teaspoonful of lemon juice. Stand over hot water and stir until dissolved, then strain in a basin. As the mixture be gins to cool stir constantly, adding the strawberry puree by degrees. Stand on ice and when it begins to set fold in a scant cup of whipped cream. Turn into a round pyramid-shaped mold, cover closely and pack in coarse ice. and salt. Have a thin round layer of sponge cake or angel food; place this on a chilled dish and cover with vanilla fondant or boiled icing (the cake should be about an inch larger than the base of the mold). Turn the bavarois out on this, when ready to serve, and ornament the base with large strawberries and leaves. Leaves cut fiom angelica may be used if you cannot get the berry leaves. STRAWBERRY CHARTREUSE. Stem two pounds of ripe berries and cut them in half lengthwise. Prepare one nuai't of lemon jelly and when slightly cool pour a thin layer in the K on bottom of a mold and when this is firm enough place a layer of the berries on top: cover with more jelly and set; when quite firm set a smaller mold in the center and fill the space between with strawberries and enough jelly to fill up the cavities between; then set the moid in cracked ice. Dissolve half an ounce of gelatine in half a cup of water and mix with a cup of strawberry juice and sweeten to taste with powdered sugar: as this congeals, stir in slowly a pint of cream whipped to a froth. Whe-i this begins to set carefully remove the small meld by filling it with warm water to loosen it from the jellied berries. Turn the cream mixture into the space left i and let it stand until the jelly is stiff enough to turn out. Serve on a tancy dish garnished with whipped cream and whole fruit. STRAWBERRY SPONGE. Soak half a box of gelatine in one cup of water for half an hour. Sprinkle one cup of sugar over a quart of berries and crush the berries with a wooden spoon. Boil half a cup of sugar and a cup of water gently for twenty minutes. Rub the berries through a china strainer, add the gelatine to the boilin syrup, remove from the fire and add the berry mixture with the juice of one lemon.

"Well," he said, continuing his story of his experience in the haunted room, "in the middle of the night I woke suddenly. The bolts which I had fas tened were creaking back again. Then the catch of the door went with a click, and I heard heavy steps enter the room. My hand was aiready on the switch, and in an instant I had the whole room Hooded with the electric light. There was no one to be seen; tiie room looked just as it had done when I switched off the light on get ting into bed, with this exception the door was standing wide open, and the bolts which I had pushed to had been pushed back again. Mind, when I fas tened these bolts I had previously as sured myself by a careful examination from floor to ceiling that there was no one in the room but myself. And be fore that I had examined the walls of the room, with the aid of a practical builder. I offer no explanation. No body can. I simply state facts." "To the best of your knowledge and belief," added the stolid man. "Of course," said the Curate. "Per haps so distinguished a man of science can help us to a solution." There was a shade of irony in his voice. "We needn't use so big a word as I science, saia tne doctor. ouiuyou be annoyed if 1 asked you a question or two?" "Ask any question you wish. I have the measurements of the room here, and I think I can convince you that Pardon. I'm not anxious on that point. You are assured that your night ly visitor was immaterial in fact, a spit it." "It is the only possible hypothesis, I think." "In spite of the heavy steps entering the room?" "Well. yes. No form was visible when I turned on the light. It is conceivable that a spirit might be in some degree subject to the conditions of the material world." "And that without feet or boots It produced the sound of heavy steps? Quite so. Most things are conceivable when one begins to talk about spirits. There Mas another point where this spirit was subject to the conditions of the material world; it could not pass through a closed and bolted door. It had to open the door before it could enter." "Certainlv," said the Curate, "that is further evidence that spirits manifest ing themselves in any way in this ma te i i a I world are subject to certain ma- 1 tenia! eond it ions." i "The spirit was on the outside and the bolts were on the inside. It could not enter until the door was unbolted and opened. Then how did it get through to draw back the bolts?" "Well, I've only to abandon my posi tion and say that the spirit could pass through the door?" "In that case why did it draw back the bolts and open the door." The Curate paused a moment. "Su perficially that seems a difficulty. But," he added, with a happy inspiration, "I never denied that there were difficulties. I did not ask you to point them out, but to give us a solution of them. If It were not a supernatural power that drew back the bolts, who was it?" "But that is quite simple. It was you yourself." "What!" the Curate exclaimed. "Real ly, this is too preposterous. I made it clear that I was lying in bed, only just awake, when I heard the bolts being drawn back. Do you doubt that state ment "I do not doubt that you make it in good faith to the best of your knowl edge and belief; all the same, it is wrong." -You speak contldently."said the Cur ate, coldly. "Perhaps you will tell us exactly how the thing happened. You were not there, but don't let that hin der you." "I won't." said the doctor, good-tem-peredly. "But let me first of all point out that in sleep and in states ap- preaching sleep we lose all right eon ception of time. A lazy man sets an alarm at 6 o'clock, intending to get up j at that time. The alarm goes off and I more or less" fully wakes him. He de- cides that he will get up in a couple of minutes. He seems to himself to have I just begun to doze off, and then with a sudden spurt of energy he jumps out of bed. The sound of the alarm is still I fresh in his ears. But when he comes i to look at the clock he finds that it is not 6 o'clock, but S. In a state of sleep he has misjudged the two minutes, an l linds that they have become two hours. .Something similar to that is a not un (ommon experience with most men. Now. if I may say so, you are of a nervous temperament, and you had ta ken this investigation very seriously and earnestly. In a somnambulistic i state you got out of bed, unfastened the bolts and opened the door. You I then returned to bed. When you awoke suddenly, the sound of the creaking bolts seemed so recent to you that you I assigned that as the cause of your wak- 1 I ing. Possibly an hour had elapsed, hut in sleep one does not judge time ac curately. Of course you hatl, and still have, no recollection of unfastening the door: that is what one would expect. You switched on the light, and you found things just as you had left them the bolts back and the door opened. "But the heavy steps how do you explain them?" "You were barely awake, and your mind was in a state of expectant at tention. Many men find it difficult to locate sounds and classify them accu rately, even when they are wide awake, and there is no preconceived idea to pervert their judgment. Y'ou heard something probably the creaking of a wicker chair, or the tapping of the blind at an open window and your mind converted it into the sound ot fOOtstCDS." "But i don't walk in my sleep." "You sleep in a room alone?" "Always." "Then you are not in a position to speak as to that. I'm sorry if it an noys you at all, but there can be no reasonable doubt that you were yo own ghost." "It seems to me a very far-etehed explanation," said the curate sulkiy, as he rose to go. "Well, if you prefer to believe that a ghost walked straight through a solid door shut, and drew back the bolts in order that he might return and walk through it opened you can, you know. Sorry I can't join you." The curate muttered that there were many things which we could not expect to understand, and left the room. "Strange." said the doctor, medita tively; "nothine makes a man tnoto angry than to be deprived of a super natural experience which he has never had." Barry Payne in Black and White.

Up to the hour of going to press the mayor of the town of Lone Jack had been gloriously drunk for seventeen days. You get your money's worth in this glorious Territory. It is generally believed in Grass Val ley that the city clerk of that town, w ho has been missing for three weeks, has been devoured by a bear, as he was last seen in the company ot one. "vv'e learn that a man from Indiana is about to start a paper at Pine Hill, where six different editors have oeea shot or run out within two years. We congratulate him'on being either a fool or a brave man. We haven't said anything lately re garding our ambitiem to be the next president of the. United States, but we are keeping up a lot of thinking all the time and shall be in evidence when the time comes. Nothing is too tall for us. We have been postmaster of the town for almost three years, and have been working hard all that time, and yet it was only the other day that we got the windows of the old building clean enough to see through and found a clean spot on the floor. Uncle Sam is industrious but not proud. Mr. George H. Sheaver, the popular gunsmith of Rose Valley, denies that his wife has eloped, as stated in our issue last week. All right, George.

There were five persons" in the iot, and all of then-, have gone up into the hills to take a vacation and rest up after their arduous labors. As mayor and postmaster of the town we must now and then take a bluff in order to maintain our dignity, but aa nlain Jim Hellso we own a mule which can beat anything in the west on a half-mile track, and we'll bet on it. Mr. James Ramsay, a guest of the Roval hotel last week, had the bad srrace to find fault with holes in the. tablecloth and a knife without a handle, and in the dispute that arose the ever popular landlord of the justly celebrated caravansary was compelled to shoot Bamsay through the left shoulder. Af ter the bullet had been dug out Mr. Ft. acknowledged his error and held th landlord blameless. Fifty bushels of onions came into town yesterday along with fourteen barrels of whisky, and for the next two weeks our sanctum will be kept locked against the general public. Anyone breathing through the keyhole must take his chances of being shot In the head. The Lone Jack Recorder charges us with killing thirty-eight men since we established The Kicker, and asks why we are permitted to live on and swag ger around. In the first place, as the Re corder man could easily have ascertain ed the number of men we have had to lay. away in self-defense Is only four teen, and in the liext we are permitted to live on because no one cares to un dertake the job of disposing of us. Editor Joseph Brayton of the Pine Hill Banner called us a liar over the telephone the other day. We shall ride over to Pine Hill some day next week and we'll bet $10 to a cent that Editor Joseph Brayton can't be found within five miles of his office as long as we stay in town. The project of a shooting gallery in theGuleh has been abandoned. The Chi cago party who had it in hand was mis taken for his gallery before he could get things under way and shot in the leg. If he had come to teach club swinging or stone throwing, he would have been all right. (Copyright, 1903, by C. B. Lewis. KEAL ESTATE TRANSFERS. Geo. B.

There is a "crank" after Mayor Ber- g-undthal. Nobody knows his name, but he visits Mr. liergundthal's office every few days and delivers himself of a freak speech, abuses the mayor, and de pa i ts. Today the man came into the office carrying a bisr cane. The mayor wan behind the w ire screen which divides his real estate office into two parts. When the man entered the mayor took a peep at the door, and saw that it was securely locked. "You are Mayor Bergundthal?" said the man, in very much mixed up Eng. lish. It appealed to be mixed witli both German and booze. "I'm the man." said the mayor. "i want to know if you can tell me when the state board of the insane asylum meets," said the man. "I don't know. You'll have to see thc state officers about that. It isn't in my Une." "You think you're foxy, don't you? Poxy old prohibition mayor, that's!: you are. You got 'lected by th.r law an' order people, and you think you're a foxy old mayor, don't you. you. Well, anyway, von m'ie-iit .no i improvements which will material- be quite so smart and foxy, that'sa j.v improve tnc trnae or the mill, ueorffa Jacobs has rdven Atwood a tirst-elast.

Conrad, of Mont, gomery county, is here as a member of the legislative committee which is to in vestigate the charges of cruelty in the manag-ement of the state charitable in stitutions. Senator Conrad says gas is so plentiful in his county that the farmers are using it in their homes just like city rieople. The grass is being mown around the court house. The grass has been as mean as it could be. When the grounds were first platted a "depressed" lawn was made and the maker anounced that the grass would grow better if "de pressed." The grass didn't grow very well and then the depressions were filled up and the grass has been growing so fast since that two lawn mowers are kept busy. The Sells Downs circus people ex perienced considerable trouble in loading their "baby" elephant Saturday night.

Then a large rope was tied to the chains and with the assistance of several men pushing, "Babe" was at last pulled into the car by Queen. As far as the fire-fighting- features of the programme are concerned, the Seiig Polyscope company of Chicago sold the Topeka fire department a gold brick when they closed the moving picture deal. It took about five minutes last night to show all of the fire department views the Selig concern had in stock. Otherwise, the entertainment was very satisfactory. The pictures were mostiy quite clear, and the audience of about 2,000 people received them with great applause. The fire department will probably make $0o0 out of the entertainment for the purpose of equipping each of the four fire stations with gymnastic ap paratus. This will enable the depart ment to obtain a good stock of equip ment for physical culture. The pictures of the Xopeka tire de partment were good, as tar as they went. They showed that the Topeka firemen are just as fast in their work as the Chicago men. Topeka and Chi cago were the only towns which scored at all. The long and elaborate list of fire fighting views which the company promised to show failed to materialize. The pictures of the Topeka aerial truck at work were also omitted. This was to have been one of the strong fea tures of the entertainment. As variety the polyscope company woi ked the old illustrated song racket, and the illustrations were not much better than the singing. A Chicago man did the singing. The woman who fig ured in one of the pathetic love stories was so painfully homely that the building: shook every time her picture nit tne canvas. Steinberg's orchestra furnished the music, but there was lack of harmony between the pictures on the canvas ana the music. Just as likely as not the orchestra would be playing a walti when the Dewey parade was marching, or reeling off a dainty little lullaby while the California Limited was sup posedly thundering past. There was at iceoie errort maae to imitate the fire gongs and the clatter of hoofs, but it was decidedly bad. it was evident that there had been no time for preparation. The best subjects for the polvscone company, and all the other moving pic ture concerns, are dogs and horses, which don't know enoush to act em barrassed when the" are doing some thing in front of the camera. The bulldog entered into his role of attack ing a tramp with more sinceritv and good will than any of the other charac ters in the scene. Railroad trains rank right up- with the dogs and horses as good subjects for the vitascope pho tographer. The dogs, horses and rail way trains won the big end of the an. plause last night. Some of the trick pictures were de cidedly clever. "The infernal meal," the mysterious knight" and "the ani mated luncheon" were among those which puzzled the audience and made them wonder how it all happened. OREGON'S BUILDEli DEAD. End Came to Irving M. Scott in San Francisco. San Francisco, April 29. Irving M. Scott, who for many vears was rice president and general manager of the Lmon Iron works, died yesterdav after noon at his home in this city, fie had been in jioor health for some time and a few days ago was stricken with alarming symptoms. Mr. Scott had long been a sufferer from kidney troubles. Mr. Scott was born on the "Old Regu lation" farm, about twenty miles from Baltimore, which had been in the pos sesion of the Scott s from long before colonial times. His father was a Quaker preacher. He was apprenticed to the iron and wood working trade in Baltimore in 1S54, and in 185S he passed into the employment of the big firm of Murray Haziehurst, where he saw his ui.vl came snip m the course of con struction. Although he entered as draughtsman, he was presently put in ton,sc wi Mauonary and fire engines and was holding that position when the firm failed. That failure introduced young Scott to Peter Donahue of Cali fornia, who had purchased, among other things, a fire engine from the bankrupt firm's stock. Donahue induced Scott to go west and took him into his own firm as draughtsman. Mr. Scott left the Donahue establish ment m IStvJ to join the firm of H. T. Booth Co., which became, through successive changes, in each one of which Irving M. Scott always figured nearer to the top, the Union Iron works as it is known today. In ISST Mr. Scott built the Charleston It was his first war ship, and he had great difficulty in getting the contract for the Pacific coast. His chief worry was in keeping up to his orders from the home government and the govern ments of Russia and Japan. For the Japanese navy he has built the cruiser Chitose, which on her trial trip broke all previous cruising records with an average speed of 22.87 knots, touching at times as high as 23.76 knots. The Oregon, likewise, was a record-breaker, as witnessed by her famous trip around Cap; Horn and her subsequent pursuit of the Cristobal Colon. In the Farra gut he built for America the fastest torpedo boat destroyer afloat. Her speed on her trial trip was 31.7 knots an hour. Then there were the Olympia, Admiral Dewey's flag ship and the sturdy monitor Monterey. Outside of shipbuilding Mr. Scott de voted much of his energy to politics. In 1900 he was mentioned as a Republican vice presidential possibility. In Jan uary of the present year he announced his candidacy for the seat of United States Senator' George C. Perkins. Adventists Will Scatter. Battle Creek, Mich., April 29. After a fight lasting more than a week the stockholders of the Seventh Day Ad ventists' Publishing House here have decided to move their plant east, the name of the city not yet being decided on. This action shows that the majority of the stockholders believed in Mrs. Ellen White, a leading prophetess of the society, who predicted disaster if the plant were not moved and the Ad ventists colonized here failed to scatter to various parts of the country.
