Albuquerque. N. M., May 6. The president elci-cd the most picturesque day it!" his western trip with a stop of to hours in Albuquerque. His trail: reached here on time and he was es corted at once by a reception commit tee headed by Delegate s. a. Kody of Mpw Mexico to a lavishly decorated tand in front rf the beautiful Alvaraco hotel, where he spoke for a few min utes to. a crowd of 5.0O0 people.

Los Angeles, Oh la.. May 6. At every town of importance from Barstow. where the presidential party will enter California from Arizona to Los.Angeles, preparations for the reception of Presi dent Koosevlt are completed. The president will spend barely 4 hours in the southern part of the state arriving at P.arstow at 8:.10 a. m. Thursday and departing from Los Angeles early Sat urday morning. Every hour will be fully occupied, the floial and electrical parades in this city on Friday being the chief features of the entertainment. At Pasadena President Roosevelt will probably visit the widow of the late President Garfield at her home. CONFERENCE HELD. Railway Promoters and Council Committee in Session. K. W. Wilson. K. B. Sunny and P.. K. Myers, the reorganization" committee of the city railway company, returned yes terday afternoon to Chicago, alter hold ing a two hour session with the ways and .means committee of the city coun cil, and explaining to that committee the position of the city railway in re gard to the proposed new 30-year fran chise. Besides the six members of the committee, which is composed of Coun cilmen Neil, rilossom. Oriley, Rwendson, Howe and NeiUs, there were several other councilmen in attendance, and Mayor Rergundthal was also present part of the time. While the meeting was entirely in formal in its nature, and the discussion was confined to generalities, the com mittee rep. resenting the city railway manifested a disposition to make com promises with the city in regard to the terms of the proposed franchise. What the railway managers would like, as they frankly stated, is a fran chise as nearly like the present one o the city railway as possible, running for oO yeai s. Mr. livers informed the committee that it was the purpose of the company to invest $400,000 and possibly $4i5,0'j0 in rebuilding the city railway. "We are willinc to put up a bond," said Mr. Myers, "to guarantee the ex penditure of MOO, ooo. but it is my im pression that we will have to put up about $2;,0o0 more than this to accom plish all that we intend to accomplish." No definite propositions or suggestions were made by the members of the ways and means committee, but it is likely that the committee will hold another nieetniB, ot which the changes which the commit te desires will be discussed find t moodied in amendments to tne cr dinanoe which the company has pro posed. For one thing the members of the committee are certainly opposed to leav ing the franchise in sin-n shape that the company can construe that it has the tight to lay its tracks across the Kansas avenue bridge. Mr. Myers disavowed for his company any desire to build across this bridge, but under the old franchise of the com pany it has been a i.uestion as to whether or net the company really had the r:ht if they chose to exercise it. To set all doubts at rest, tiie matter wil! be made definite in the new franchise. The committee will also probably specify what streets in town the com pany shall have the risht to build oi and not give a blanket franchise liku the present one. The chief ground of contention it likely to be in regard to the question o? compensation for the franchise. Some of the councilmen wiil fight for a pro vision in the franchise which will turn into the city treasury each year a small per cent, of the gross income. It is like ly that the company will oppose any such move. On May 14 the annual meeting of the stockholders of the city railway will be held in Topoka, at which time the com pany will be reorganized and the new company brought into existence. Some cf the councilmen say that until this reorganization is perfected the council should take no steps toward granting franchise, as the company to which it is proposed to giant the franchise is not yet. in existence. Another meeting of the ways and means committee will likely be held with Mr. Wilson, Ml. Myers and Mr. Sunny when these gen tlemen are in Topeka for the stock heidfi;;' meeting. Mr. Myers stated that one fare of five cents would be good over the city and suburban line: that no extra charge would be made to Vinewood, but trans fers would be issued therefor from any part of the city. The committee w ill hold another meet ing Thursday evening-. HAI LED II 131 I PFKECIPICE Boy, Stuck on Perpendicular Hill, Couldn't Go Up or .Down. Pittsburg. Pa., May 6. Ellis Hunt, of Sharpsburg, aged 9 years, had an ex perience this morning that he will not forget for some time. About 11 o'clock a crowd of boys went to Clark's Hill, in O'Hara township, and started to have a hlli-climbirig contest. Clark's Hill is about SO feet high, and the side selected by the youths is al most perpendicular. Hunt got about half way up, and he could neither get up nor down. Some of his companions got a rope and lowered it from the top of the hill. He tied it about himself and. holding on to it, was milled to the top in safety. QUIT KINU FPU REPUBLIC.

The trouble arose over the substitution of union white girls in the place of colored men at one of the restaurants. JUST LIKE fill. Kansas Club Women at Wichita Fighting: for Offices. Candidates Open Headquarters at the Hotels. MRS. LEWIS IN LEAD. Believed She Will Be President of Federation. 3Irs. Barker Says Her Fight Won't Be Renewed. Wichita, Kas.. May 6. Over ?,0 Kan sas club women are in Wichita today! for the annual meeting of the Kansas j Social Science Federation, w hic h b; gan last night with a large reception at the Masonic temple, and more will ar- rive tonight in order to be present at the election, which takes place tomor- row. Indications today point to the election of Mrs. Cora Ci. Lewis, of Kins ley, as president of the federation. Th Seventh district federation, comprising I'M votes, is unanimously in favor -l. her, and delegates from the other dis tricts ha-e been instructed for heiv Mrs. Florence Cowley, of Columbus, the other candidate, has the solid support of her own district, the Third, and del.,- gations from the First and Fourth riis- trict clubs. Both Mrs. Lewia and Mis. Cowley have headquarters at the Ham ilton. ill 1 i -C 4 MRS. W. A. JOHNSTON. Of Topeka, President of State Federation Mrs. Kate Aplingtnn, of Council Grove, candidate for vice president, is also at the Hamilton. Mrs. Aplington Is one of two delegates from the T. P. M. club of Council Orove, which instructed for Mrs. Cowley. This action on the part of the Council Grove club women has resulted in considerable show of op position to Mrs. Apiington's candidacy, and although she is thus far the only avowed candidate for the office, othets are being mentioned today, and the supporters of Mrs. Lewis will undoubt edly unite upon an opponent to Mrs Arlington. M,e. E. F. Porter, of Pitts buig, which is in Mrs. Cowley's district, was mentioned several weeks ago for the place, but it is reported that she will refuse to rtin against Mrs. Alding ton who as chairman of the letrislative committee of the federation was lasi j winter closely connected with her hus- band. State Senator Porter, in getting the public school manual training bill j through the legislature. Friends of Mis. Porter deny, however, that she will re fuse to accept the nomination on this account. Another vice presidential possibility being talked of here last night and to. day is Mrs. Ed Hoeh. of Marion, who is from Mrs. Aldington s nistriet. nn i Mrs. Kiritna K. Forter, of Marysville, sister of Congressman W. A. Calder- head, and very widely known through- out the state, has also been mentione I. i Mrs. Lewis is said to favor the election of Mrs. Hm h, hut she would also be very friendly to either Mrs. Porter or Mrs. Forter. Mrs. Aplington is the vice I presidential candidate on the slate larrarured by the fac tion supporting Mrs. j Cowley. The two candidates for auditor are Mrs. 1). W. Wilder of lliawnha and Miss F.Isie Mcintosh of H.'ys City. Mrs. Fustee Prncvn of Oluf'np is a oMnrlioIte for recording- secretary, but interest in these offices is secondary to the prin cipal contests for the presidency and vice presidency. The persistent rumor which has ben circulated throughout the state since the election of delegates to the fed eration meetings beean, that this meeting would revive the "row' of last year at Salina pre ipitated by the resignation of Mrs. George F. Barker of Lawrence of the offce of re cording secretary is absolutely denied by Mrs. Barker, who stated to a State Journal reporter today that she had decided not to revive the old trouble. It is generally suspected by those who know her best, however, that Mrs. Bar ker has something up her sleeve. She is one of the most astute politicians in the federation and there is a general im pression among the club women that she is never more dangerous than when she is polite. Mrs. Barker makes no secret of her sense of injustice in her treatment at Salina at the federation meeting last year and her enmity to the members of the present executive board. It is not commonly known that the choice of Wichita, as the meeting place for the federation this year and the candidacy of Mrs. Lewis were Jargely events of Mrs. Pnrker's shaping. At Salina last year she caused the iinpres sion to get about that she would extend an invitation to the federation to meet at Lawrence this year in order to throw her opponents off the track while she plotted with the Seventh eisiL-jrt w'omen to secure the meeting for Wichita. There was some opposition in the Lawrence delegation to Mrs. Barker and others in the federation who were unfriendly to her united with them to oppose Law rence as a meeting place. It was ar ranged hy the anti-Barker forces that a motion should be made immediately after the Wichita delegation should have offered its invitation for the federation to meet in ipog jn Wichita, to accept the offer without considering other invita tions. The woman selected to make the mo tion had her lesson so well learned that sha made the motion as soon as the -'-.-V question of the next meeting place was introduced by the president and before the Wichita invitation had been extend ed and it was enthusiastically carried. If the enemies of Mrs. Barker believed that this action put another spoke in her wheel they little realized her dc p design. It was quite in accordance with her wishes that the meeting should be held in this city and thus secure the election of a Seventh district woman as president. In good time she lay plans to bring Mrs. Lewis forward as a can didate for that office, and as Mrs. Lewis is a very able and popular woman, es pecially strong in her own district and wed known throughout the state, young, attractive, gifted and with ample ex perience in executive office, this was very readily accomplished and there were many to join in Mrs. Barker's efforts in her behalf. Mrs. Barker's real purpose in supporting Mrs. Lewis was probably the prevention of the elec tion of a frirst district woman which could readily have been accomplished if the federation meeting had been held elsewhere than in tne Seventh district. There were at least two First district women on the executive board which Mrs. Barker believed to have treated her uniaiily last year while she was a member thereof, who are supposed to have presidential bees and whether, Mrs. Barker is successful in electing her can didate this year or not she will at least have kept the honor of the first office in the federation from some of her ene mies. An.iig the club women at the Hamil ton is Mrs. L. B. Kellogg of Emporia, chairman of the committee on the revis ion of the federatie.-. constitution and by-laws. The other members of the committee are Mrs. Lee Monroe of To peka and Mrs. May Bellville Brown of Salina. One of the important questions to be decided at tnis meeting and which will be voted on Thursday morning' be fore the election of officers is the revis ion of the const itut. n. The committee appointed last year has been working faithfully on its report which will be made Thursday moaning and which will suggest among oihe; things changes in the constitution in regard" to the rela tions of the district federations to the state federation, the privileges of the smaller federations and the duties of their officers. The report will also sug gest the creation of three new depart ments of legislative, conference aud for estry. The latter is entirely new. The work of the others have heretofore been done by committees. Another sugges tion will be. that the members of the executive board and of the standing committees of the federation lie made ex-otticio delegates. At present the.'e have votes at elections only when they are regularly elected delegates. If the report meets with the approval of the federation the committee will probably be reappointed or new ones named to revise the constitution and the revision will be voted upon and accepted or re jected at next year's meeting.

Freight Handlers at Omaha Called to Join Strike. Omaha. Neb., May S. The strike situa tion in Omaha was little changed today, each side resting with a hope that a settle ment mav be reached. Chief of Police Donahue personally took charge e.f his force todav and was on the streets all forenoon directing the movements of his men. Several of the delivery companies began operations this morning with part cf their waeons which were driven either liv their owners or foremen. Kach wagon was ae'comnanied by from one to four w-licc-nien, who prevented any violence to drivt-rs. The congestion at the freight depots was partly relieved when the wagons got to work. At each of the depots is stationed a large squad of police and detective". Sfveral hundred strikers and their friends also gatiiereel at the freight houses, but offered no violence to the men who were handling the goods. A conference was held at 10 o'clock be tween the teamsters and freight hand lers as a result of which the latter were ordered to quit work at noon today. How many will respond to the order is indefin ite. Fmplovers reported wagons at work during the forenoon. From the mayors office it was stated that no strike breakers had been put to work ard no disturbances re ported' While the employe, s say they will resort to a call on the gover ior for troops if necessarv. city authorities think thev 'will be able 'm meet any emergency without the aid of the militia.

Foreign Secretary Lansdowne Proclaims the Doctrine That Other Powers Must Stay Off the Persian Gulf. IT WILL MEAN WAR. To Establish a Naval Base or Fortified Post. The Answers of the Powers Are Awaited With Anxiety. London, May S. Foreign Secretary Lansdowne has proclaimed a British Monroe doctrine in the Persian gulf, and has practically notified the competing powers that any attemnt on their part to establish a naval base or fortified post in those waters means war with Great Britain. "I say without hesitation." said the foreign secretary, dealing with the sub ject in the house of lords yesterday evening, "that we should regard th establishment of a naval base or a for tified port in the Persian gulf by any other power as a very grave menace to British interests and we should cer tainly resist it with all the means at our disposal." Lord Lansdowne preceded this ex plicit enunciation of British policy by a review of the situation there as it affected British interests, contending that so far as the navigation of th Persian gulf was concerned Great Britain held a iiosition different from that of the other powers both because it was owing to British enterprise ana expenditure of life and money that the gulf was now open to the commerce t the world and because the protection ol the sea route to India necessitated Brit ish preponderance in the gulf. Lord Lansdowne's attitude in this matter generally meets with approval, although, the answers thereto of the other powers interested in the gulf are awaited with some anxiety. The newspapers here comment on the analogy of the present proceeding, which Captain Mahan so strongly rec ommended, to the United States policy of Monroeism. The Westminster Ga zette holds that the British motive, namely, the protection of the sea route to In'iia, corresponds exactly with ths American motive in excluding Euro pean powers from American waters be cause their territory is thereby threat ened. "SPOTTER" DISCHARGED Strikers at Ilorton Went Back to Work. Horton, Kas., May 6. At the confer ence between the committee represent ing the striking machinists of the Rock Island shops here, and the offleials of the road, held at 4 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, the officials agreed to dis charge George Bell, the spotter, who caused the strike, and all of the eighty machinists went to work this morning. Bell had been given the position of spotter for the purpose of trying to find out whether the workmen were carry ig away tools end other property of the company and to report the men who were inattentive. The workmen were rightfully mad to be suspected of crookedness, and they gave notice that they would not work as long as Bell was in the shops. SMALLPOX AT THE POST. Patient Escaped in Night Robes and Wandered Around. Leavenworth, Kan., May 6. A case of smallpox has developed at the Post, a recruit named Sullivan, being ill with it. He had been in the army a short time and arrived at the Post about a week ago. When at the Post a few days it w is noticed that he showed symptoms of smallpox and it was deemed advisable t3 put him under quarantine. He was placed in a tent back of the hospital and a few days later his case proved a thoroughly de veloped case of smallpox. He came in direct contact with a number of people at the Post, but as yet no one has been taken down with the same disease. Yesterday, early in the morning, the exact time no one knows, he escaped from under quar antine and left his tent in his night robe and in the morning about 6 o'clock he was noticed sitting on the steps of "A" company. Sixth infantry's bar racks, apparently in a delirium. A message was sent to the hospital and the night nurse whr was attending him took him back to'the hospital and plac ed him under quarantine. ANOTHER DEEP MYSTERY. A Widow, a Telegram and a Social Lion in Court. There is a mysterious case in the city court in which a well known society young man, a widow, a telegram and a minister are concerned. All must re main in darkness until the judge of the court unravels it. The suit is brought by Dr. A. S. Em bree. formerly of the Moore Book and Stationery company, which went out o" business, aeainst Dean R. Low for the collection of an account amounting to S5.40. Nothing mysterious about that, but as usual in that part of the case marked "exhibit A" comes the mystery. The exhibit is the bill, and on the bill are the following items: 1 Gibson widow ?j.0- 1 telegram 40 Chinaman a Republican Voter. Bowling Green, O., May 6. Wah Lee. a Chinaman living in North Baltimore, is a Republican and a voter in spite of the Chinese exclusion act. When Ad miral Dewey desired that citizenship be conferred upon deserving' Chinamen for valor in the battle of Manila. Wah Lee found a rrobate judge who issued him naturalization papers.

San Francisco, May 6. Reports re ceive! by the Pacific Mail steamer Colon from Panama indicate that General Emilio Chamorro, the Conservative leader of Nicaragua, is making great pre-gress against the forces of President Zelaya. Passengers on the Colon refute the statement that the government forces have retaken the vessels captured by General Chamorro on Lake Nica ragua. General Ortiz, the newly pro claimed president, was at last accounts on the march from Honduras with a large force to attack the government forces At Leon. The report is brought from Nicaragua that Americans are openly hissed on ac count of the feeling against President Roosevelt, who is blamed for "not en forcing the Monroe doctrine" bv pre venting Great Britain and Germanv from collecting debts from Salvadfr and Nicaragua. Outrages on the part of President. Zelaya against certain prominent citizens of Nicaragua who are of different political faith from himself, are said to have become com mon and the result of it has been to paralyze trade. Many Colombians are exuected to assist the revolutionists against Zelaj-a. COME TO STUDY OUU FARMS Two Score of Germany's Richest Landowners Arrive in America. New York, May 6. Forty-one farm ers the cream of Geimany's agricul turists came ashore from the Hamburg American steamship Pretoria. They have come to study our farms and how we raise our crops, not in home-spun, hut arrayed in the prevailing style in Berlin and Munich, with silk hats, tan overcoats and footgear.They are counts, barons, owners of feudal estates, lieu tenants in the army, directors of es tates, professors of agriculture, students and plain "agriculturists." Without delay, J. I. Schulte, assistant of the United States department of ag riculture, and Ludwig Kemuff, the Ger man vice consul, escorted the visitors to Plainsboi'o, N.

A watchmaker named Fritz has sold a mechanical time fuse for projectiles to the Krupp company for $50,000. and a royalty of 25 cents for each deke used.

War ren, of the I-ee-Vv" arren Milling com pany, says: "The freeze recently didn't hurt the wheat a particle, but rather did it good. There are 770.000 acres more sowed to wheat in Kansas than in 1900. when we raised 06 million bushels. If the present favorable prospects holes until harvest time Kansas will raise 125 million bushels of wheat this year. The only report of much damage from Hes sian fly came from Morris county. Onev Saline county farmer told me of dam, age here, but he had 3.01X) bushels of old wheat on hand and was holding for a high price." THE WATER CUBE. Witness Testifies That It Was Used at the Asylum. Telia M. Knox Says Patients Were "Sprinkled." AND OTHERS STRAPPED Inmates Were Stripped of Cloth ing and Flogged. Inrestigation Reyeals Brutal Treatment of Unfortunates. According to the testimony of Miss Telia M. Knox before the asylum in vestigating committee today, a sort of "water cure" was practiced at the To peka asylum by a former head nurse in the ward in which Miss Knox was em ployed as second nurse. Whether the same system is now In vogue in any of the wards is not known. "Sprinkling" is the term Miss Knox applied to the punishment. It consisted in throwing a sheet over the patient's head and pulling her backward to the floor. Then while the patient was heH down, water was sprinkled in her face until she was submissive and ready to do as the head nurse wished. MISS TELLA M. KNOX. Miss Knox testified that another head nurse. Miss Gower, had once stripped the clothing from a female patient, Emma Nelson of Kansas City, and had "strapped" her, that is, whipped, her with a strap. Only two witnesses testified before the committee this morning. Miss Knox and her sister, Mrs. Anna L. Sherman. The latter was a very unwilling witness and evidently did not tell near all she knew, but Miss Knox answered all questions without hesitation. She was employed at the asylum about two years under Governor Stanley's first ad ministration, most of the time as sec ond nurse in a chronic ward where three nurses took care of .19 patients. She testified that the patients were compelled to work. "When they would not work what would you do?" she was asked. "I called the head nurse." "What would she do?" MRS. ANNA L. SHERMAN. "Sometimes she would slap them or lock them up, or punish them in some way." "What other methods of punishment was there?" "Well, Miss Houston used to sprinkle them." "How was that?" "A sh.ett would be thrown over the patient's head and she would be thrown to the floor. Then water was sprinkled in her face till she would do what she was tolei." "You have seen this done, have you?" "Yes, sir." "Did you ever assist?" "I have been called on to assist, and at first I refused, but it was made un pleasant for me and I was told that it was my duty to help, so I finally did it." "Did you ever remonstrate against it or report it to Dr, Biddle?" "I have remonstrated, and I snoke about it to Dr. Myers, the assistant physician, but he said it wouldn't do any good to tell Dr. Biddle, because Dr. Biddle thought Miss Houston was a good nurse and did what was right." "Did you know a satient named Emma Nelson?" "Yes. sir." "What kind of a natient was she?" "She was very hard to manage when she was in our ward. She did not really know -.anything, and was violent at limes." "Was she ever punished?" "Yes. Miss Gower, who was head nurse at another time than Miss Hous ton, removed her clothing once and strapped her." "What do you mean by straDpina her?" "Whipped her with a. flat strap." "Did you do anything about that?" 'I sooUe to Miss Gower about it. and she seid the supervisor told her to do it. Miss Gower was generally very kind to the patients, but if she could not mako them mind she punished them." "Was the punishment severe?" "Yes. I thought it was." "How was the sheet thrown over the head in the sprinkling process?" "It was just folded two or three times and thrown over the patient's head (.Continued on Page Six.) I1 rt) 5.

"Well, Tommy claims to be the middleweight champion, and if he had defended his title half as welt cs I have mine he would have been put out of business long ago.

The po--' lice here have cleared up the mystery of an Emporia elopement by the arrest of J. M. West, a carpenter, aged 40 years, and Mrs. J. Shippy, nearly as old, at a house where they had been living since last January, Eighth street and Kansas avenue, Armourdale. The couple left Emporia January 18, com ing directly here. West, it is alleged, left behind a wife and a family of grown children, and Mrs. Shippy, a di vorced husband and three grown sons, bringing her 5-year-old daughter, Elsie, with her. The authorities at Emporia were com pletely baffled until last Monday, when they received news that the runaway couple was in Kansas City, Kan. Chief Zimmer was notified by letter, and yes terdav Detectives Risse and Darnell and Officer Embree located them. The man and woman and little girl were taken to headquarters. West was lock ed up in the holdover, and Mrs. Shippy and her daughter were taken to a hotel. The authorities at Emporia were noti fied, and the prisoners will probably be sent there today. Mrs Shipoy said she was not sorry for what she had done. She declares she will stay by West through his trial and aid him in every way possible. Her husband, she said, had never treated her well, and she was compelled to earn her own living after their separation. Winfield Fuss Over Library. Winfield, Kas..

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, WEDNESDAY EVENING. MAY 6, 1303. ULU Six Santa i'e Conductors Engineers Dismissed. and Charged With Frequenting tho Dodge City Joints. SUIT. AYEIl'S NOTICE Causes Siuch Excitement on the Western Division. Local OClcials Say That the Hale Is Well Known. the ticket broker who sells tickets shall i be the agent of the railroad over which' the ticket is pood. This, if lived up to. would bring the matter closer home to the company issuing the ticket possibly, and the question that is worrying the passenger agents is how close this re sponsibility will be brought home. Another question raised is, What ia the degree of responsibility under that act of the passenger who not only gets but seeks lor the illegal concession which he enjoys? This question will be taken before the commission for set tlemer.t with the others raised in the Si'mt connection. The general opinion among railroad men, however, is that there is no help under the interstate commerce law for the condition which has been described. The provisions relating to rebates, dis criminations and secret rates will hard, ly apply to brokers and people outside of the transporting corporations. If this ia established there will probably be a move for some amendments of the law or a statute which will in some way meet this feature of the situation. BOTH WANT THE MIDLAND. the last six months the president of the. Missouri Pacific has been made a di rector of the Orient. Between the two roads there is to be the closest traffic alliance. Mr. Stilwell could swing tht Dutch interests and if the Goulds wan two years the control will undoubtedly be secured by means of this triple alli ance. When asked about the rumor Mr. Stil well said he wasn't worrying over the Southern, and that the matter was stilt two years off. As to the breaking of the voting trust, he remarked that it would take five years for the affair to reach the supreme court. Pods; tendent created City. Kas., May 6. Superm- tieorjre 1'-. AVer ot tills division isidoi -able excitement by post- ling a notice of dismissal of six con ductors and engineers of the Santa Fe on the charge of frequenting saloons. 1'h- conductors and engineers are most ly men who have been in the employ of the Snnta Fe for a considerable time, and the fciiir-r m regard to their dis missal is qui. stiong. There are some railroad men v. ho favor taking an ap peal from Superintendent Ayei's ruling, and calling upon the higher officials ot the road to rescind the action. It is claimed that some or the men Who were dismissed are not boozers," but that th.y simply happened to be taught in Joints when the company's spotter was itvre. The conductors aim nsirieera wro were dismissed say that no notice has been given that the com pany expected to impose such a penalty on men caught in joints. Local Santa Fe officials, when shown the above communication front Dodge City stated that the rule against irc ouenting saloons is not a new one, and that it lias been in the company's rule bonk for a number ot years. "Any conductor or engineer who has be n ia the business long enough to ob tain his position ought to know the lules of the company, and understand the penalty for irequentinK joints," said a local official of the operating depart ment. "Jl Is one of the most important rules of the Santa Fe that its employes must keep away from the saloons. We have not been called mum to impose the ik?vs ally very frequently, and I am not fuliy posted as to the circumstances of the I resent case, but I do not anticipate that it will cause any general dissatis faction ami'ii: the men." Most of the leading railroads of th; country have strict rules against saloon frequenting on lh part of its train men, and the penalty for violation of t ie rule- it in most ases the dismissal of the man guilty of the violation. Vengeful Struggle Is on Between Colorado Railway Magnates. Denver. May 6. A struggle is on be tween the Colorado Soutnern railroad. 'iied with the Harriman interests, and ii.e Denver Rio Crande, a part of the Could possessions, for control of the Colorado M- Midland road. The primary cause of the strife is the new Moffat t road from Denver to Salt Lake wh'ch Is in course ot construction. When the Moflatt road refused to grant the Rio Grande an interest in the survey in the proposed line from Kremmling io Dotsere, which will invade the territory hitherto held exclusively by the latter road, the Rio Grande in letaliation set about finding a means of shortening its line to Salt Lake. By building a lino direct from Denver to some point on the Colorado Midland et least 100 miles of travel could be saved and the Rio Grande people began to negotiate for the Midland. This was the purpose of Russell Harding's recent sojourn in the state. The Colorado Soutnern discov ered what was being done and realizing that such a cutoff as the Denver R.o Grande proposed to make would mater ially benefit them in the run to the coast they began planning to defeat the scheme. The Rio Grande now threatens the Southern by-holding off renewals of old arrangements about to expire, con cerning joint line deals in the big coal fields. The trouble has not reached the eruptive stage as yet however. ABOUT JAMES GHTJBER. New Superintendent of the Western District of Hock Island. The new general superintendent of the Chicago. Rock Island Pacific's west ern district. Mr. James M. CJrubor, was for a number of years assistant general superintendent of the eastern district of the Great Northern. Mr. Gruber was born at Iowa City, Iowa, in 1S68, and entered railroad service at the age of 17 years as a stenographer and clerk in the general, freight office of the St. I-aul, Minneapolis Manitoba. From car load rates on machinery recently agreed on by those lines to take affect on May 14, are unjust, unwarranted and unreasonable. The commission is asked to restrain the defendant lines from put ting into effect the proposed advance. The commission at once issued notice to the defendants to file .answer to the cpmplaint within twenty days from date. JUDGE LASSITEK. DENIES. ABOUT RAILROAD PEOPLE. William Kimball 1 a new man in the brass foundry. Fiank Dickson of the oacte.rn short went home sick yesterday noon. Oscar Duean of the tin shon ia absent from work on account of sickness. C. M.

COMMITTEE TO MEET WILL IT CATCH BROKERS P Elkins Law May Prohibit Selling Cut-Rate Tickets. Among passenger traffic officials of soioe of the western lines the liability of ticket scalpers under the Klkins bill is a question of Interest, and one tnat may had to th interstate commerce commission for decision very soon. I nder the recent Interpretation of the law all tariffs, passenger as well as freight, must be published and no rates m;o!e which do not comply with thos-5 published tariffs. As the broker oper ates his business this is nullified, the passenger agents say. The broker sella to Ids customer on the street a ticket from Chicago to Denver for from $f t. $7 loss than th regular fare. This ticket may be used by a passenger who occu pies a seat by the side of another who has paid the full price. Roth have th-? Fame service as to cars, connections and time occupied on the trip, but there Is a discrimination In fare in favor of the on and against the other. The fact that the railroad company is not a party to this discrimination shotild not take the ;o t out of the operation of the law prohibiting the discrimination, say the p;issoner agents. The anti-sealping law provides that Faulkner, of the Santa Fe, Ia a Member. Kl Paso, Texas, May 6. It is likely that there will be a meeting this week of the union depot building committee, composed of K. B.Ctishing, superintend ent of maintenance of way of the S. P.: E. O. Faulkner, assistant general manager of the Santa Fe, and H. J. Simmons, general superintendent of the K. P. S. V. Superintendent of Construction Cot tingham says the buildings on the site of the depot will all be dow n in the next few days and the matter will be up to the building committee to make further arrangements. All of the property for the depot ex cepting that owned by D. Storms has been acquired, and that will probably be condemned. It is thought that tho employment of an architect for the structure will be the next thing of im portance done by the building committee. TRIPLE ALLIANCE FORMED. Gould, Orient and the Dutch May Con trol Kansas City Southern. The Gould interests are said to be after the control of the Kansas CRy Southern railroad, a Harriman line, and intend getting it. Whether they will attempt to break the present voting trust or wait two more years until that trust expires is a question. Rut theie is no doubt whatever but that Gould wants the conircl of this road and is going to get it if that is possible. A. E. Stilwell, president of the Kansas City. Mexico Orient railway, and Dutch capitalists control much voting stock, and with the Gould interest, the three could just about swing the con trol. The Client president has been very close with Mr. Gould and during JAMES GRUBER. Xew Superintendent of the Rock Island 1SS to 1SS9 he held a similar position in the general manager's office. In 1S8 he resigned to go to the Atchison, To peka Santa Fe, but soon went to the Montana Cential as general superin tendent. In March. 1S!7 he was made assistant general superintendent of thu Great Northern's eastern district, which position he now resigns to go to the Rock Island. JOHN ORM BADLY HURT. Santa Fa Engineer Crushed by Box Car at Pueblo. Pueblo, Col., May 6. John Orm, an engineer on a Santa Fc switch engine, was dangerously injured today in the Santa Fe yards by being crushed be tween the engine and a box car. His right leg was badly mashed and will probably have to be amputated. He was otherwise bruised about the lower part of his body and is in a critical con dition. The accident occurred about 4 o'clock, when a Rio Grande engine pushed a heavy train of cars into his engine while he was on it waiting for orders. Says the Rock Island Does Not Own Texas Central. Houston, Tex., May 6. Some sur prise was occasioned here by the posi tive denial from Judge Lassiter, of Fort Worth, that the contract for the transfer of the Houston and Texas Central to the Rock Island had not yev been signed. It was generally believed that the deal had been completed and it was rumored here that the Rock Is land would take over the property within a. few days. The local officials have nothing to say about the matter, but there is no reason to believe that the matter has fallen through. Judge Lassiter's denial was brought out by a dispatch from Austin, whence all sorts of announcements of railroad deals have come within the past few days, which stated as a positive fact that the contract would be submitted to the commission for approval within a few days. WILL BE REORGANIZED. Houston, Tex., May 6. It is officially announced that the affairs of the Hous ton and Texas Central road are to be divorced from those of the Southern Pacific, and this work is now going on. in crder to make the change, a number of Joint officials will resign from either one road or the other, and new men will take hold of the vacated places, in entirelv separate auditing depart ment will be installed, the skeleton of the Central organization having been nreserved. This results from the deter mination of the Southern Pacific to op erate the newly completed Dallas and liMiimnnt. the law making it neees 1 saw The tWO properties o-ie c-uiiiiJv- ing. RUSSIAN TRAIN ROBBERS. TVibtt Constitute a Serious Menace to Traffic on Frontier. Train robberies have ceased to be a monopoly of this country, and are so common in certain parts of Russia that the ministry of transportation has taken special measures to prevent them. A Russian journal reports that within the last three years there have been 1.181 attacks on "trains or criminal attempts to wreck them, and 286 armed attacks, resulting in robbery or murder. A force of mounted police is to be established north of the Caucasus and east of the Caspian, and a secret police in the set tlements near the railroads, by whose inhabitants the attacks are usually made. Further, provision is made for the immediate trial of those arrested, and police powers are given to certain of the higher classes of railroad em ployes; and train and station men on the Siberian and the Chinese Eastern railroad will be armed. Better wages are to be paid to trackmen and labor ers, who. apparently, are suspentced in some cases of assisting the robbers and getting a share of the plunder. C. W. COOK IN COLORADO.

Charles Saw-ver was hurt Monday morn ing in the lower part of the abdomen by being caught between the drawbars of a couple of cars. Although his injuries ore not serious he will probably not be back to work for some time. On Tuesdav a force of men were set to work whitewashing the walls in the store house. Instead of using the bru-di the men sprav the wash on the walls with com pressed air. The air saves a great deal ot time and it is thought that better results are derived from the use of it.

With the constantly increasing necessity for the nractice ot the strictest economy railroad operation, railroad managers are said to be continually turning their search lights in all directions to discover hitherto overloked items of needless expense on the one hand and possible improvement in methods on the other. So careful has been the scrutiny in this latter regard that, al though further gains will be made along the line, it now appears that there is very little left to be desired. More powerful locomotives, larger cars, heavier rails, stronger bridges, better roadways, lower grades and enlarged terminals have all been contributed to reduce expenses to a minimum, and too much credit can not be given the onerating department for lis achievements in this direction.

If all women who suffer as I did with periodical backache, headache, and that all worn-out feel ing would take Pe- runa, they would soon find that it put new life into the body and took away all the aches and pains and weariness." Miss Florence Miller. Perfect Health Regained. Mrs. E. Von Steinau, 332 Fifth street, Milwaukee, Wis., writes: "I feel it my duty to write and tell you how much good Peruna has done me. I have been a sufferer for years with female trouble, causing backache and at times terrible headaches. I had also complications from indigestion and heart trouble, so that I often had to lie down. A friend advised me try Peruna. I had little faith in any medicine, as I had tried so much without getting any relief, but to please her I gave it a trial. After three days' use I felt so much better that I decided to continue its use and by the time I had taken six bottles, I was in perfect health, was regular, had no mote headaches, in fact my health is now all that I could wish. Peruna is certainly an estimable medi cine and well worthy of praise." Mrs. E. Von Steinau. Women are subject to pelvic catarrh. This condition has been called all sorts of names and is often referred to under the general phrase, female dis- eases. Peruna cures these cases. Peruna cures them because it cures catarrh wherever located. The nature of most of these ailments is catarrhal. Catarrh is liable to attack any organ of the body. It is especially liable to attack one or more organs of the female pelvis. No wonder women talk about Pe runa. No wonder they think it is the great est medicine in the world. Peruna cures the catarrh wherever located. Peruna is not a guess nor an experi ment it is an absolute scientific cer tainty. Peruna has no substitutes no rivals. Insist upon having Peruna. If you do not derive, prompt and sat isiactory results from the use of Peru na, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giv ing a full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valu able advice gratis.

The Statp Journal is a member of the Associated Press and receives the full day teiepniph report of that great news or ennizaiion for exclusive afternuon puoiicu tlcn in Tupeka. The news Is received in the State Jour nal building over wires for this sole pur pose, busy throughout the entire day. A complete copy of the night report is also received. Cub i has J2.OOfi.00O in her treasury. Ihit means that it is about time for trouble to bi Kin down there. Having entertained her guests and dedicated the World's fair site, St. Iuis has now settled down to her regular business of prosecuting boodlers. High license or low, Sunday law or r.o law. says the Brooklyn Eagle, It makes no difference. There is always enough to .pe ach thirst in New Yot k. Prob ably thrie are few towns, big or little, In th" country, in which a similar situa tion dots not prevail. Yet nobody seems to be able to suggest any better way, and w't it adopted. If Mr. Carnegie desires to do all the residents of a community a real service find at the same time dispense some of his surplus wealth let him make a do nation for road improvement on the same terms that lie contributes to the establishment of libraries. Good roads probably are as good educators and contribute as much to human happiness and advancement as do good libraries. Seattle times: The hobnobbing at St. Louis on Wednesday of President Roosevelt and his only living predeces sor was a conspicuous merging of the past and the present, and must have" been full of reminiscences to both ot these distinguished personages. It also suggests the great changes that can take place in the life of an individual in this country when he has the ability and the tact to take advantage of op porlunities as they are offered. Twenty years ago Mr. Cleveland was Democrat ic governor of New York, and Mr. Koosevelt was a Republican member of the lower house of the legislature: They were tlv n bosom friends, for Koosevelt was a "kicker'' against the corrupt practices of his party machine. Since then Cleveland has been president twice; Roosevrlt has been governor of New York and is now president. THE GOOD ROADS IDEA. What is ordinarily the wettest season of the year in Kansas is about here and the good roads idea ought to grow and thrive and expand during the next sixty da vs. The leaven of road improvement seems to be working In all parts of the United States. An eastern man who has recently taken a trip through Texas Bays pc,,p idea they the the enthusiasm with which the e have taken up the "good roads is wonderful. In some counties are in danger of "going wild" on subject. Funds are being raised mainly by issue of county bonds. Another observing person says that in Pennsylvania the state aid idea has taken firm hold. The plan just adopted is f-ir the state, the county and the township to co-operate in the work of bui'ding and improving the roads. The Mate is to pay two-thirds of the ex pense and the county and township in which the work is done each one-sixth of the expense. The state has made available for this purpose $6,500,000 to be expended during the next few years. The principle involved in the state aid plan is exactly the same as that in volved in the scheme for national aid, which has developed such populai ity re cently. The fundamental Idea of both is as set furth by Central Miles at St. I-ouis, that road improvement is not merely a matter of local interest and responsibility, but a matter of interest and concern to the whole people; or, to put it a not Iter way, road building is coming to be viewed as a species of internal Improvement" belonging in the same class as river and harbor im provements. KOOSEVELT AND CLEVELAND. The meeting of President Roosevelt and former President Cleveland on the same ;.latform at -St. Louis, and the possibility that they be rival candi dates for the presidency next year, ha., served to direct public attention to the difference between the two men. The Tacoma Ledger expresses itself as fol lows: President Roosevelt has made many speeches of late, und all of them have been practical. They befit the moment and the place. Whether he is address ing the miners, the people of the stock h it. the farmers ir the residents o; the cities, he lias something to sa v. hleh they appreciate peculiarly. His, address at St. Ixiuis was an example of this, In every word of it there was the personality of the man. He had thought it out and written it out. It was the work of his active mind. To be contrasted with this was the speech of Mr. Cleveland. This was able ""Kh. it showed that attention had been paid to the Information stored in the cyclopedia. It was not barren of facts, but they were the dry facts that might have been compiled by a clerk, and probably were. Any reader could be certain from his own knowledge ol' what was coming next. The difference in the addresses was simply the tlii'fei ence in the men. Roosevelt is the per sonification of vigor. He is alert to grasp the situation. Cleveland is an echo. He has been the author of state papers that will be remembered, but his day f ir practical work la over. Koose v It is the mun of the people who are and who do. Cleveland belongs to an era that has passed, fie is not without honor for that which he has aceom- I plished, although ho was mistaken in j many essential points, but that he wiil accomplish more is not to be expected,, IITOB.IAI. COMMENT. The President's Call to Order. Cleveland Plaindealer. President Roosevelt has given our j military and naval officers to under stand that they are to stop talking in general, and in particular are to pre serve a discreet if painful silence con cerning the present and prospective re lations between this country and Ger many. He has issued a general call to order for which most people of the country will be piofoundly grateful. "German-baiting" by the navy may be expected to cease henceforth, but there is no reason why the order should be leslricted to prohibition of offending Germany. The talkative warriors in both services should be reminded that it is unwise and unmannerly needlessly to give offense to any nation. That this warning should have been deemed nec essary is a reflection upon the disci pline of both the army and navy. This "German-baiting" began in the navy and quickly spread to both houses of ongress and th press of the eoun- i try. It is mischievous and wholly in defensible', ana naturally embarrassing j to the president and his associates who have to bear the brunt of it. The presi dent knows, what many politicians and editors stem to forget, that Germany is the one nation of Europe that has of late repeatedly gone out of her way in an attempt to win the good will of the United States. That she is actuated by ulterior motives is as yet only a sus pie ion and a somewhat unworthy one. I It might be well for all Americans to take to heart the president's rebuke to the army and navy. Bluster does not become a great people and a big mar looks small with a chip on his shoulder. A general hush ami call to order will be most welcome. Women and Newspapers. Indianapolis Journal: Women are suddenly asserting them selves in tne journalistic world. At Cambridge. Mass., a number of women have secured possession of a paper and are arranging to issue it without the assistance of any man, save one who will serve as pressman. In Chicago a plan is 'on foot for the establishment of a daily paper to be owned and operated exclusively by women, though in this case "opt-ralion" signifies the general direction, a man having been engaged as managing editor. Men as well as women will alto serve as subordinate members of the staff. The purpose of the projectors, as explained by one of them, is to put out a paper that will "dare to print anything and everything just exactly as it really is." The "ev erything" chiefly in mind seems to be municipal affairs, as n intention is ex pressed of telling the truth concerning local corruption and crookedness, with out fear or favor, and so helping to purify Chicago politics. The plan is a proper and pious one, but how far it will be successful re mains to be seen. A good many women, to say nothing of men, cherish the be lief that a considerable number of their fellow-citizens, especially those in offi cial life and in positions of trust, are constantly engaged in nefarious trans actions which need the limelight turn ed on thrm. and which, for political Mil other rather vaguely defined rea sons, the newspapers refrain from men tioning. It is the common demand of people who do not run newspapers upon those who do that the latter "write up" this or that suspeeteu in dividual and his doings and expose him as the rascal that he is; but it is in variably noticeable that these sami persons are never ready to publisn those charges over their own names, nor are they prepared to back their ac cusations' in court. They accept ru mors for facts, and expect the newspa per to bear the responsibility of publi cation charging it with cowardice or dishonest complicity with the supposed rascals when it discreetly declines to do so. No doubt there are many things In the Chicago municipal administration, as in the local government of most cities, that need detection and exposure, but the Journal does not know of any city where there is not an "opposition press con stantly on the alert to discover ques tionable acts and make them known. If the proposed woman's paper can un earth any crookedness in Chicago not pointed out by the papers already in ex istence there, it may help the cause of reform, but there is a reasonable doubt if it can cover the field of investigation better than is now done. The women mu t learn that there is a libel law to consider, and that one or two damage "uit in cases where they can only offer a "moral certainty" to sustain their charges, may make a big hole in the $100 OuO they expect to put into their pa per As for telling the "plain truth, plain truth is not always lit for publi cation The Journal is not infrequently in receipt of communications bearing on certain social evils, written by dear, good, innocent women intent on effect ing reforms, whose publication would justify outraged patrons in casting the paper out as unsuitable for family read ing. So far as actual operation of nws P"pers by women is concerned, there should lie' nothing to hinder success, and the wonder is the attempt has not been mad before on an ambitious scale. Cer tainly there should be no difficulty in securing experienced workers, since there are few papers of any importance in the country which do not have wo men in their employ. It is not clear, In deed, whv the Chicago venture should have to depend upon a man as man ager since there must be women in the service quite capable of that responsi bility. The Cambridge and Chicago pro jectois of the new enterprise should be warned, however, that if they mean to publish their papers solely in the inter ests of any special "cause" or reform, thev will fail. Whatever may be their own personal enthusiasms, the public will decline to be permanently interest ed. The public is tickle; it wants to be entertained; it wants variety: it does not wish to be too serious; and, sad as Wthe conclusion is. it tlatly declines to be continuously keyed up to a high moral purpose. Even women, serious as they are in these days of feminine strenu osity, lean to frivolity in unofficial inter vals, and at such times could hardly become excited over the worst iniqui ties of Chicago politics. JAYHAWKER JOTS. Caldwell schools have been closed by fear of black smallpox. A Portis man has his corn in and his cyclone cellar completed. Prior to the last snow storm Ness City was agitating a Fourth of July celebration. Hays City girls wash their faces in frost rather than dew. For what reason they alone know. There is a strike on the one car com posing tne Arkansas City street rail way line and the system is tied up. While a Saline county farmer was watching the president, some unfeeling wretch drove off with his mule team. Newton is happy. Th-- first S.'i.OOO check towards the construction of the library has been received from Carne gie. A Wellington man sold eggs enough last winter and this spring from 33 hens to pay his own board and that of a friend. "Hundreds for defense but not a cent for tribute." was told a jointist who de sired to open up at Hays City. He moved on. Several of the Kirwin Melin food I crowd are enjoying the mumps and measles at the same sitting. A saving of doctor's bills. A Lyons citizen writes home from San Francisco that the thing that im presses him .most are the facilities for getting drunk. After a strenuous tussle three Hutch inson negro women bandits were award ed by finding a three cent piece in their victim's purse. These are growing times In Kansas. A Clay county farmer found a note given for S7.50 to a lightning rod fakir had reached $175 at harvest time. The Lawrence Gazette continues to find fault with Topeka and Cyrus Le land. Hut then Charlie Finch can't help it. Like a frog, he's a born kicker. A Salina man made the trip home from Omaha in his automobile in three days' running. The distance is 500 miles and stops were made for luncheons. Brighter days are' coming to the De mocracy of Allen county. The wife of a well known follower- of Jefferson and Jackson has presented him with trip lets. A stroke of lightning which knocked down a Rooks county chimney and tore up the roof didn't even make a break in the oil agents' conversation at the dinner table below. Argonia joints are banished to the suburbs by a stringent ordinance. One saloon is being built with the door step on the city limits. What a farce our laws are sometimes. A Wakarusa family left their watches, money and jewelry at home so they wouldn't be robbed at the circus. The thief that got the valuables must have been a mind reader. The five saloons at Concordia are closed and the revenue from them abolished. Yet the Blade declares there is more whisky being sold in town than ever but doesn't tell who does it. GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. 1 No man ever loved a woman he was afraid of. Remember this: a man doesn't have to look the part. The weather is pretty fair, but the Octo pus is as bad as ever. A young toman seems to get as much comfort out of a love letter as an older woman finds in a cup of tea. An Atchison girl has such a good time single that no one can explain why she intends to get married. Today, for the first time In the history of the Globe, rooms for rent are advertised with ladies preferred as tenants. If there is anything in this "blot upon the escutcheon," and you have one. don't vou suppose it looks like a boy's copy book? An Atchison girl who has never been 50 miles from home, tries to create the im pression that she has been to England by calling an elevator a "lift." Five minutes after a man starts for his room to retire, the noise is heard all over the house of his shoes dropping, and that means he is all in tor 12 hours. "I wouldn't mind getting a new job." said a man today. "I believe that I would light on my feet, but I am afraid the flight through the air might be painful." This Freedom you hear so much about: there's mightv little of it in the country. Think it over: how much Freedom have, you? Isn't there some one standing over you with a club night and day? It is related that when an Atchison wo man found a hair on her husband's coat, he became indignant because she cared, stating that if she were as bald as ne, she wouldn't care where the hairs came from, so that she had them. POINTED PARAGE APH3. From the Chicago News. A dentist gets right down to the root of the trouble. The canned article that goes quick est is a dog's tail. Some men never tire of doing good because they never do any. Many a man gets a reputation for wisdom by leaving things unsaid. The "nay" of the political dark horse is seldom heard in the land. More tailors should be elected to con gress; they know a lot about measures and men. It often happens that more time is spent in trying to get a jury than in trying the ease. A St. Louis woman advertises to send ten rules for selecting a wife for 10 cents. Men who are looking for 10-cent wives will please take notice. FIFTEEN LIVES LOST. Only Three Saved of the Glori ana's Crew. Gloucester, Mass.. May C. Andrew Leighton, owner of the schooner Glori ana, received a telegram from Canso today notifying him of the loss of his vessel, together with Capt. George Stod dart and 11 of his men.

Of the entire crew of IS men only three were saved. W. H. Stillwell Appointed. W. II. Stillwell, formerly general su perintendent of the Rock Island with he:ade;uarters at Topeka, has been ap pointed general superintendent of the i Tennessee division of the Rock Islai.'', with headeiuarters at FuTton. Ky. He j takes the place of S. G. Lorton. assign- ed to other duties. Mr. Stillwell was superintendent of the western district of the Rock Island from 1895 to May, rxn, and was succeeded by C. H.. Hub bell. Mule Driving Taught by Mail. Wilkesbnrre. Pa.. May 6. In a book of instructions. "How to Treat Mules," the driver-boys of the Delaware Hud son have been warned to watch the feet of the animals, as many boys are killed and maimed each year because they don't watch them. Mules according to instructions, must not be driven "bare footed." To Float a Mexican Loan. Nw York, May 6. It is stlted on high authority that negotiations have been almost completed to Hoot a Alexi- can loan ostensibly in this country, "nut really abroad. The amount of the loan j will -be less than $25,000,000 and will, it is thought, take the form of a 5 per cent bond. Th? money will be used, for public improvements. Death Postpones Bicycle Run. New York. May fi. A sudden death in the club room stoppi d today's opening "photograph run" of the Calumet Cycle cluli, whese house, is at Net. l;'l West Twenty-sixth street. About 150 members appe'ared to ride op Riverside drive, tint when it was announced that Arehie. Pat terson, a .r.erober. had dropped dead the run was postponed. Patterson lived at No. 344 West Six teenth street. Apoplexy was the cause. THEV WILL BE GOOD. Coal Operators t ile Answer to Government's Complaint. Chicago, May 6. In an answer filet in the Fnitert States circuit court today the Indiana and Illinois coal operators who were recently made defendants in a case started by the government, admit ted that they had been acting for a time under an agreement, but denied that there was any unlawful combination to tlx prices. They declared that thi agreement was abandoned before the court f-roeeedings began and that even while it was in force they sold coal be ltw the prevailing; market price. There, were ten companies and ten individuals named in tlje government's bill of com. plaint, and the answer was filed on be naif f all exce;.t the Wabash Coai company and Max Berg. The (it Cendant presented figures to show tnat their prolits were so small in propor tion to the general output of bituminous coal of the country that their agreement could not have had anv serious eri'e'ot on the market. The object of their agree ment, they declared, was to increase th production of the mines embraced in the contract and these mines- were operateel at their full capacity while the .agreement was in force, exceeding the output of any pre vious year. In conclusion the defendants say that they are not doing and will not do what the government seeks to enjoin. TO HV 1 ALL RAILROADS. England's South African Policy Is Outlined. London, Alay 6. In the house of com mons today on a formal resolution guaranteeing the Transvaal loan of $175,000,000, Colonial Secretary Chamber lain delivered a lengthy, optimistic speech on the future of the new South African colonies. His remarks were mostly a reiteration of former state ments Mr. Chamberlain declined to give the price or time of issue of the new loan, but said the prospectus would shortly be issued. He explained that it had beer: decided to purchase all the existing railways which would absorb $65,000,000 of the new loan and onO, 000 more would be expended as quickly as possible on the development of railways, $1500,000 would be spent on land settle ment and $10.00,000 on public works. The security for the loan was excel lent. It would be a charge on the com mon fund of the two colonies, the Transvaal and Grange River colonies, whose finances would be administered by the new intercolonial council which was about to be created for the purpose of dealing with the constabulary, rail way and other matters, where the col onies were jointly interested. This would be a commencement of the policy leading to the federation of South Afri ca, which he believer! was nearer than many persons thought. The chancellor of the exchequer, Mr. Ritchey, declined to reveal the rate of Interest in advance of the issuing of the prospectus. He said the interest and the sinking fund would total 4 per cent, but it would tie his hands were he to announce the interest rate alone. THE SLATE MADE.

The out of town orders on hand will not aggregate more than fifty, so that the other 300 car. be had in town: The? rapidity with whieh the opening sale used up the first seats indicates that the few additions will not last long.

My landlady did not make the Postum right but I showed her how a: d we all found it delicious.

The foreign office has begrun negotiations with the government at Washington in accordance with the suggestions of the chambers of com merce of Berlin, Munich, Carlsruhe and other places toward amending- the copy right act of 1S01 so as to afford German exhibits at the St. Louis exposition bet ter protection from reproduction. The foreign office is endeavoring to have the exhibits excepted from the manufactory clause of the act. If the United States does not agree to this then the foreign office will try to g"et a guarantee preventing imitations of ex hibits for a fixed period after the close of the extosition. Some branches of in dustry like that of the lithographers have made their participation in the St. Louis exposition conditional upon being assured protection from imitation equal to that which American works enjoy in Germany.

TWO MORE ARMY CORPS The Second and Third to Mob ilize at Once. Street Fights Are Constantly Taking Place in Salonica. Constantinople. May 6. The irritation in Turkish official circles against Bul garia is constantly growing more acute and the government of that principality has been formally notified in rigorous language that the porte holds it re sponsible for the outrages arising from the freedom of action which the Mace donian agitators living in Bulgaria have been allowed. t It is reported that the porte has de cided to mobilize the whole of the sec ond and third army corps, stationed at Adrianople and Salonica respectively. The police of Constantinople have ar rested about 60 Bulgarians and have made numerous domiciliary visits, in cluding one to the residence of the sec retary of. the Bulgarian diplomatic agency, whose papers were seized. They were, however, subsequently re. stored, as nothing compromising was discovered therein. Alarming reports are in circulation regarding outrages which are said to ba projected here for today. The military and police guards in this city and its suburbs have been considerably strengthened. In the district of Prisrend, Albania, twenty-two Albanian chiefs, leaders of the opposition to the reforms, have been arrested. The sultan's reform commission is still at Ipeka, Albania, on which place Turk ish troops are advancing with the ob ject of dispersing the hostile Albanians in that vicinity. Vienna, May 6. Advices received here from Salonica say that notwithstanding the fact that hundreds of Bulgarians have been arrested street fights are con stantly taking place. W.omen and chil dren, especially young girls, take a prominent part in these disturbances. It. is asserted that bomb outrages have been planned in all the towns of Mace donia. Bombs have been discovered in houses at Uskub, European Turkey, where the Turkish population is greatly excited, fearing a massacre. IN BLACK JACKETS. Chicago Waiters No Longer Able to Dress in White. Chicago, May 6. Chinese are flocking to Chicago to take advantage of this golden opportunity to engage in the laundry business. They are coming di rect from Hip Lung, the "King of Chi natown" in San Francisco and report ing to Sam Lee to be distributed by him among the 27 laundries that he controls here. Although there are 1,200 men working in the 250 Chinese laundries in Chicago, their methods are so antiquated that they can not begin to take care of Chi cago's enormous weekly washing. Hotels and restaurants have managed to get their most urgent needs filled by out of town laundries, but they are still tar from being in a comfortable posi tion. Today waiters in nearly all of the large downtown restaurants appeared in black jackets and low cut vest in stead of spotless or more recently very much spotted white garments furnished by the houses. Efforts are being made to settle the trouble between the workmen in the steam laundries and their employers, but so far little progress has been made. St. Louis laundry men have dealt a blow to the cause of the Chicago laun dry owners by refusing to handle any more of the work sent to them while the strike of the laundry workers' un ion continues. For the last three or four days some of the large laundries in the city have been sending carload shipments of laundry to St. Louis and through the aid of the laundries of that city have been enabled to fill contracts. The union employes it St. Louis, wbo practically control all laundries, raised a protest and at a mass meeting decided that they would refuse to handle Chi cago work. Proprietors of St. Louis laundries were at once informed of the action and promised to accept no more work from Chicago. Augusta Chronicle Is Sold. Augusta, Ga.. May 6.

(Continued from First Page.) from behind, and the patient was then pulled backward to the floor." "Did you ever report this to Dr. Bid die?" "No, I was never told that it was my duty to veport anything." "How was the water administered how was the sprinkling done?" "A pan of water was brought and the water was sprinkled from mat or al lowed to drip into the patient's face." "How fast did it drip?" "Oh, sometimes fast and sometimes slow." "Did the patient try to get up?" "Of course." "How would she be managed?" "She had to be held down." "How often did this happen?" "Very often." Did anyone do this besides Miss Houston "No, she was the only one I ever saw do it." "You say that Miss Houston also slapped the patients?" "i'es, sir." Mrs. Sherman's testii my was very unsatisfactory, as she seemed deter mined not to tell anything if possible. She was employed for four months in the "sorting room" of the laundry, the room w here the clothing was sorted af ter washing. She testified that she re membered seeing difficulties between patients and attendants, but could re member no circumstances nor any specific instances. She supposed the difficulties happened when the patients were unruly and would not work. The management, she said, she thought was severe with the patients, because the work was very hard. She had been dismissed because her work had not been satisfactory. "Were the attendants severe with the patients?" she was asked. "Well, if they were," she said, "I sup pose they had to be because there was so much work to be done and they had to have the patients' help." "Were the patients compelled to work?" "Yes, I suppose they were." There has been some question as to whether the legislative committee will be able to draw any money from the state treasury to cover the expense of the investigation, but all doubts seem to have been dispelled by a clause in the last legislative appropriation bill which was passed, which was different from the preceding ones. The bill provides that in addition to being for the regular expenses of the legislature the appro priation shall be "for general expenses incident to the regular session of the legislature of 1903." The legislature by joint resolution directed that the ex penses of the legislative investigation shall be paid out of the appropriation for legislative purposes, and this inves tigation by a legislative committee is in cidental to the session of the legislatui t It was Intended to cover this purpose. .TUESDAY'S PROCEEDINGS. The first witness in the asylum in vestigation who acknowledged knowing anything of harsh treatment of patients by attendants was Albert T. Johnson, now a motorneer in the er,iploy of the street railway company, but who was for several months an attendant in the Topeka asylum about two years ago. He testified that the attendants frequently beat the unruly patients to compel them to obey, but that such actions were rarely reported to Superintendent Bid die. On the contrary, it any marks were left on the patient which had to be ex plained, it was told that the patient had fallen and hurt himself. Johnson's idea seemed to have been that this sort of treatment was neces sary in order to control the patients. "You've got to let a crazy person know you are boss," he explained. He said this was not considered bad treatment by the attendants and they usually shielded one another from the manage ment of the institution. When instances of mistreatment of patients came to the knowledge of Superintendent Biddle, the attendant committing the offense was generally discharged. Johnson said he was discharged for staying out too late one night. "In cases where attendants were dis charged for ill treatment of patients, what was the cause?" he was asked. "Hitting too hard, I guess," he replied. "When an attendant was subduing a particularly obstreperous patient and hj finally landed him on the iloor, he some times took occasion to give him a good poke, did he?" q "How many instances of this kind ot treatment get to the head of the insti tution?" "Well, I don't know, but lots o them." "Would an attendant who became too officious and seemed too anxious to re port these little affairs fall into disfavor with the others?" "Well, rather." "Were the patients made to work?" "Yes." "In case they showed an inclination to object you talked with them pretty straight, I suppose?" "Yes, or gave them a left hander." "Did you do this?" "Yes. and so did the other attend ants." "Hit me as hard as you did the pa tients," said Representative Jcnks ot the investigating committee. "No," said Johnson, "I would not hit a sane nerson that hard." "Did Mr. Hall, the supervisor, ever see any of this?" "Yes, he saw it, and if we hit a pa tient a little too hard he reprimanded us. Whenever we did use force we tried to hit a patient where it would not hurt them much in the body." "Did the blows cause the patients much pain?" "No, I think not." "Didn't they complain?" "Some of them did, if they had sense enough." "How would they complain?" "Oh, cry and beg us to stop." "Y'ou thought this necessary to handle a patient?" "Yes." "I suppose if one blow did not bring about the desired result, the dose was repeated?" "Yes." "What kind of a report would be made of an occurrence of this kind?" "Well, if an investigation was made irjc Mills The Spring House Cleaning calls for new items for House Furnishing.

Johnson seemed to tell the truth about the matter and made little attempt to shield himself in his testimony. Before him a number of other witnesses testi fied. H. J. Beachman's testimony was given in the State Journal of Tuesday. The witnesses examined between Beach ma'n and Johnson were Stelri Dennis. L. W. Dennis, Nora Beachman, Alice C. Henley, Anna L. Sherman and How ard Hanna, all of Topeka. None of them testified to any mis treatment of patients, although Miss Henley testified to seeing a female at tendant slap a female patient at one time. The patient had been strapped to a bench to keep her quiet and after the straps were removed she refused to stir, and the attendant slapped her to make her move. SHOT VICTIM SIX TIMES. Perpetrator of Atrocious Crime in Lansing Prison for Life. Leavenworth, May 6. Sheriff W. N. Tillman, of Lincoln county, O. T., with two deputies, arrived at the state peni tentiary at Lansing last night witn Matthew Fooks, the most cold-blooded murderer known in the history of Okla homa. Fooks was brought to prison to serve a life sentence for the murder of Price Stoneking, at Chandler, O. T., less than a month ago. The murder of Stoneking was one of the most atrocious in the history of Oklahoma. Fooks shot his man six times with a 44-caliber Colt's revolver as he was leaving the Chandler court house and then caved in his skull with the butt of the gun. When Sheriff Till man arrived on the scene Fooks was gouging Stoneking's brail s out with the hammer of his revolver. Any one of the six shots fired at Stoneking would have caused instant death. Fooks pleaded guilty to ti e charge of murder in the first degree next day and was sentenced to prison for life. The killing of Stoneking was the re sult of a grudge existing between him and Fooks. About three years ago Stoneking pushed Fooks out of a wagon and the latter's right leg was so badly injured that it had to be amputated. From this time on Fooks figured on taking Stoneking's life. He shot him three times in about two years before he finally killed him and served a year in the Kansas penitentiary. The trou ble between the men had its origin in a woman, the wife of Stoneking. Fooks' record is as bad as that of any criminal in this country. Eighteen years ago he was pardoned by Gover nor Martin from the Kansas prison, where he was doing time for killing a man in Wabaunsee county. He had served three years of a six years' sen tence. Fooks is also said to have killed two wives. About six years ago, it is alleged, he killed a wife in Oklahoma bv shooting her in the back with a shot gun There were no witnesses to this tragedy, and as a result Fooks was cleared of the charge of murder. He is also said to have killed a wife in Kan sas City a number of years ago, but particulars of this killing are meager. Again he went free on the plea that the killing was an accident. Fooks is 51 years of age. Richard Olney's Successor. Boston, May 6. At the annual meet ing of the Mexican Central Railway oompanv today E. C.

There is much surprise in Washington at the information that Postmaster General Payne will follow up to the bitter end, the case against General Tyner. It was universally believed that in view of the age of the accused and other important considerations, the alleged violations of the law on his part, in t,hp matter of removing govern ment papers from the safe would be allowed to pass. Mr. Payne and Mr. Knox seem determined, however, to bring the matter before the grand jury and secure regular' indictments. DONOVAN RUST GO. His "Resignation" Is Placed on File.

SALE STAUIS WELL. The resignation of ex-Chief of Poye--Timothy Donovan will probably be allowed to stand. The police committee held its Ions: delayed meeting: Tuesday afternoon, and did not either accept or reject the resignation. It was simply olaced on rile, which means that the best thief catcher in Topeka must step aside to gratify partisan whims. Dono van has not been working; on the police force since he resigned, and the action of the police committee in neither ac cepting nor rejecting his resignation is rearaed simrdy as an easy way of let-tin- him out. Samuel T. Howe, the member of the committee who has been absent froru town, and whose absence has delaveti action on several matters connected with the" org-anizatton and management of the force, said -this morning: "I don't care to say anything about the Donovan matter. We simply allowed the matter to remain as it was. Whether this means Mr. Donovan's dismissal 1 do not care to say." For the present the committee cided, to retain the present jailers and sergeants. Jake Owen, sergeant, will bw retained permanently by Mayor Be-r-gundthal. B. F. Owen and S. F. F.arnes were appointed patrolmen, but it is not yet tiecided whose places they will take. C. C. Smith was given a job as mer chants' policeman. The ouostion of handling- the joints and disorderly houses was discussed at some length, and a general plan of pro- cedure was adopted. Mayor Bergund. thai refused to state what will be, done. He said: "1 don't like to have the papers come out and say that we are going to do so and so, because we might chanire our plans, and then people would say, 'Oh, you fell down in what you started out to do, didn't you?' I will Fimply say that we are going to work in a system atic war. and are going to do lust a a good a job as we can, and get the town in ;ust as good shape as we can." DEFEATED ALL STARS.

The bowding team of the Young Wo men's Christian association has defeat ed the all-star aggregation of the KUte bowling alleys and is now looking for more worlds to conquer. The five young women are very reti cent about their victory and would rather not have the fact that they beat the boys printed. They didn't permit the game to be advertised and the gen eral public was thereby deprived of the opportunity of witnessing a contest of unusual interest. However, another game is being arranged and by the time it is played the gii Is wiil probably have become inured to publicity sufficiently to have an announcement of it made. Last night's game was arranged on rather short notice by Del Kirkpatrick, who is one of the Klite stars. An effort had been made to fix up a meet be tween the Y. W. C. A. and the Y. M. C. A but the directors of the latter institution considered the engagement would be undignified and improper, re alizing that their bowling team was rather weak anyway, and the game was forbidden. Fortunately the Elites were untroubled by any qualms about the propriety of the thins and they bit at the challenge which the coy youths of the Young Men's Christian association had rejected. The Elites were over-confident and in order to "make it easy" for the young women the boys "spotted" them lat) apiece. In other words the young wo men were given 100 pomrs each the ad vantage over their adversaries. It didn't take the boys Ions to see the unwisdom of their generosity and the girls rolled up scores topping theirs without half an effort. Before the game was half over the boys were persptringly trying to catch up on the handicap under which they labored but with no success. The first game was lost by one point while in the second the Elites went down in ignominy. The haidened muscles of the girl gymnasts sent ten pins flying all over the back of the room and the pin boys neatly wore off their legs keeping the games progressing. Composing the team from the Y. W. C. A. were Miss Lillian Kirkpatrick, Miss Maude Van Houten, Miss Mary Durant, Miss Lena Davis and Miss Lil lian Valentine. The Elite team consist ed of Barnum, Wentworth. MacVicar. Kirkpatrick and Wolf. The scores of the game stood as follows: 1st 2d Y. W. C. A. Kirkpatrick Valentine Davis Van Houten Durant ROCKEFELLER ENTERS.

Some have no particular ailment but are just tired, worn out and totally unfit for work or anything else that requires energy or effort They raope around upon the border-land of invalidism, irritable, peevish, hysterical and unreasonable. A good appetite in the spring is a rarity, and we sicken at the sight of food, or thought of eating, and what little we do eat is a burden to the stomach and a tax upon the digestion. Warm weather is sure to bring out the hidden poisons, germs and seeds of disease that have been collecting in the blood and system dur ing winter, and you may look for some old chronic trouble to make its appearance. It is a time, too, when boils and carbuncles, and pustular or scaly skin eruptions like eczema and tetter, pay their annual visits and make life miserable by their intense pains and intolerable itching and burning. The fight for health should begin before any warning symptoms of ph3'sical collapse are felt, or before the seeds of disease have time to germinate if we would avoid the usual spring sickness and with S. S. S., the acknowledged king of blood purifiers and greatest of all tonics, 3-ou can put your blood and system in such perfect condition and so strengthen the constitution that one may be free from, sickness and as vigorous and strong during the trying months of spring and depressing summer season as at any other time. S. S. S. not only builds you up, but searches out and destroys any poisonous germs or impurities that may be lurking in the blood. The benefits derived from the use of S. S. S. are permanent because it acts directly on the blood and purifies and cleanses it of all impure matter, leaving nothing to cause fermentation and deterioration of this life-giving fluid. In selecting your blood purifier and spring tonic get one that long experience and thor ough test have proven the best. In S. S. S. 7ou will find a remedy whose purifying proper ties are unquestionable, and just such a tonic as your system needs. Ask your druggist for S. S. S. there is nothing else just as good. For the past 40 3'ears we have had a standing offer of $1,000 for proof that S. S. S. con,-! tains the least particle of any mineral whatever, and this offer is still open.

LE CITY RESPONSIBLE. Streets Must Be Kept iia a Safa Condition. "One thing was definitely and finally decided by Judge Plazen in the district court yesterday," said City Attorney Spencer today. "He has made it plain that the city must keep the streets clear of vehicles which have been allowed to stand in front of wagon repair shops. There is not the slightest doubt tha peo.de who collide with such vehicle and receive injuries can sustain an ac tion for damages against the city." Judge Hazen's decision came up in the Thompson damage suit. Thompson is a 14-year-old boy who ran into a wagon while he was riding his bicycle down Jackson street. The va;on stood in front of a repair shop. Owing to the fact that the city was able to prove that the boy was riding too fast, and that his injuries were not permanent, the jury allowed him only a nominal sum for damages. But his father novv has a claim against the city for the loss of time of his boy, and for doctor bills, which the city will no doubt have to pa y. The decision of Judge Hazen is in lina with tiie policy already adopted by Mayor Bergundthal concerning vehicle-, allowed to stand on the streets. Mayo Bergundthal has instructed Chief of Po lice Coff to enforce the ordinance strict ly and it is making a good many busi ness men mad. They have been allowed to occupy the street with their stock it; trade for so long that they have come to think they have a right to do so.

With a few flashes from the new Marconi wireless station on the end of the American line pier to day the big steamer Minnetonka was halted in the bay and a woman who was in hysterics made happy. Mrs. Robert Graham, wife of the com edian in the Florodora company, had engaged passage on the Atlantic trans port ship, but was late in reaching the pier. The vessel cast off its dines at 9 a. m. Mrs. Graham's trunks were aboard, and just as the ship was glid ing out of its dock a cab, furiously driv en, roiled down to the pier. In the ve hicle were Mrs. Graham and her hus band. As Mrs. Graham alighted from the cab she had the bitter disappointment of seeing the Minnetonka heading for sea. Manager Franklin, seeing her dis tress, placed her on a tug, which he sent in pursuit of the ship, and then halted the cce.an vessel by a wdreiess message. Mrs. Graham was put aboard opposite Liberty island. ASKS 820,000 FOR SLANDER Superintendent of PostoBce Supplies Sues Alleged Defamer. Washington. D. C. May 6.

The consensus of the testimony of the witnesses was favorable to Father Wai t"i' claim of innocence, and in support of the theory thai a burglar or some other desoerate man had committed the ciime. Police Captain Ketchum testi fied that the bloodhounds did not pav any more attention to Father Walser's V"d than to the other beds in the house. Captain Ketchum, of the Lorain po liee. who was summoned by telephone to the Reichlin house on the night of the murder, was the first witness. H f-aid he found Casimir Reichlin and Father Walser fully dressed when he leached the house. The captain also t"i,l about the fresh mud on the attic floor and about the ladder that had been put up to the attic window. Casiinir Reichlin in describing the '""i" in his sister's room when he reached it sifter being aroused said, the bedclothes were undisturbed and the liedquilts drawn up close under her chin. The body was still warm. The door between the frill's room and Key. Walser's rooni was open. A ladder on the south si le of the building lending to the attic window was found. It did not reach the window by two and a half feet. The window- itself wns out and loaning against an old trunk. He tiotiepd no tracks until morninsr. When discovered th tracks weie small but not distinct. He said Walser pave liim a description of the man h had seen as being- thin, tall, wore a mustache and slouch hat. 'asimir said the watchdog that was on the lower floor of the house on the roLrht of the murder had an ugly dis position and usually barked when any one came around the house at night. The clog did not bark on the night in question, however, until aftev the mur der had been discovered. There was suppressed excitement when Prosecu tor Stroup asked the witness, "Tou do not know of your own knowledge who killed your sister?" "No, sir," answered Casimir, with emphasis. "You do not know whether the per son who killed your sister came from the outside or whether he was on the inside?" "No, sir, I can not tell you." The witness then said that the first he knew of any trouble was when Father Walser greatly excited and only par tially dressed told him there were bur glars in the house. Casimir could not say whether Wal ser had been out of the house at any time during- the evening-. He went to the kitchen door once while Casimir and Agatha were carrying a lounge into the house. The rest of his testimony was practically the same as given out in his statement to the newspapers early to day. George W. Jennings, a policeman said he got to the parsonage on the night of the murder at 1:25 a. m. Rev. Walser told them that something awful haM happened. When he questioned Walser about the murder he answered very shortly. The priest said he had heard the girl moaning ten minutes. Bennings said he did not see any whisky. Rev. Chas. Reichlin was then sworn. He said he went away Thursday morn ing to attend a funeral at Kelly's island. When he left Walser and Agatha were alone at home. Walser had stopped at St. Joseph's hospital on the previous night. Walser wanted to go to the Jios pital Thursday night, but Agatha wish ed him to stay at the parsonage. Rev. Mr. Reiehiin refused to answer a ques tion as to whether or not the authori ties had done all they could to bring the murder to light. As to the motive he said: "My first thought was that it was a jilted lover. Mr. Rospert was her last lover. I think the motive for the crime was robbery. My sister never expressed to me any love for Rospert. He called twice since November. My sister lived alone with Walser during my absence in Europe last summer. Rev. Mr. Walser put a bolt on the door between his room and Agatha's at that time." Dr. S. S. Cox testified that he assist ed in the postmortem examination of the. body. In his opinion but one blow had been struck. Martin Reichlin, another brother of the eirl testified that Rev. Mr. Walser had been left alone with Agatha when he and Casimir went down town Wed nesday evening. He said he had drank beer at the house prior to going down town, and that beer and whisky were usualy kept in the house. McVey Whips Kid Carter. Los Angeles, Cal., May 6.

Frank E.Moores, Re publican, was elected mayor of Omaha for the third time, having beaten his three opponents out with about 1.000 plurality. Notwithstanding there was a split in his own party, the Moores' forces have made a most aggressive campaign. ErastusA. Benson, who was nominated by the bolting division of the party, coming in second best. E. E. Howell, the Democratic candidate was third, while the Socialist candidate, W. M. Moore, received about 2,000 votes. The campaign has been probably the most bitterly fought of any in the his tory of the city. At the Republican pri mary, the issue -was Moores and anti Moores. The mayor had a majority of one vote in the convention but his op ponents claimed it had been secured fraudulently and bolted. They placed Benson in nomination as a citizen can didate. The rest of the ticket is about evenly divided. The Democrats elected C. C. Wright city attorney, W. Fleming tax commissioner and C. O. Loheck comp troller. The Republicans reelected A. Henning city treasurer and William H. Elbourn city clerk. NOT QUEEN'S BIRTHPLACE. Truth About Hever Castle, Purchased by William Waldorf Astor. London. May 6. Ever since it was an nounced that William Waldorf Astor had bought for $185,000 the historic cas tle at Hever, which for years has been shown to tourists as "the birthplace of Anne Boleyn," discussion has been ani mated here as to whether the beautiful second wife of Henry VIII re illy was born there. The question seems to be settled in the negative By Richard Da vey, the novelist and historian, who has just come forward with facts which make it quite certain that the ill-fated queen reaily saw the light in another part of the country. The same authority, however, points out that Anne's father once owned Hever castle, that Anne herself spent many years of her life there and it was in the garden of the famous castle that bluff King Hal first saw and fell in love with her. 4 Li-. 0-tf Z.1 f "u ts I f I t ,1. 6 fc I J !t f t Kr i t jsr-N.

In the season of languid fancy the ap petite fails to respond, no matter how tempting the Ingredients of a dish, un less it has the charm of piauancy as well as blandishment of form, color and inviting odor. Heavy salads and rich desserts pall, and multiplicity of dishes weary the jaded eye and taste. In many localities it is yet a little early for fresh grown salad and dessert veg etables and fruits, and where these are obtainable they are not yet plentiful enough to be cheap. To fill up this gap between seasons we have still the deli cious fruitage of the orange tree. This fruit gives the spirit and zest of the lemon in milder form, so that it can be put to uses unknown to thi lemon. While it contains the same acids most ly citric and malice as the lemon, it ii more of a .food, as it possesses a smail amount of gum and more or less sugar, according to the vaiiety. In making salads, ihe orange may be the most imminent feature or merely one of the accessories to the whole. It is tne "motive" of the comoination when blended with bananas, or apples, nuto, shrimps or other ingredients that lack the essential quality that will stimulate the taste to a keener relish of tbeit merits. Presumably our first recipe for orange salad came from India, where it is often seived plain with a dressing of oil, vin egar and pepper. ORANGE SALAD. I'se for this salad six sour oranges and divide them into sections; remove the seeds and skin from the divisions and cut the sections in half. Chill these thoroughly. Arrange crisp, tender let tuce leaves in a pyramid foa with the orange sections, star-shap; in each leaf place a spoonful of mayonnaise in center of each with hair of an English walnut meat on ton. ORANGE AND GRAPE SALAD. Cut sweet oranges in dice and strain some lemon juice over them, then stana on ice to chill. Remove the seeds fron. half the quantity of white grapes: have a little sugar and water boiled tj "crack" degree, dip the grapes in thia and lay on a dish to cool. Put together, adding a few candied or preserver! cher ries to add color. Serve with crisp let t l-g. AMBROSIA SALAD. Peel a few nice sweet oranges, remove the white pith. Skin and seed without breaking the lobes. Line a salad bowl with crisp lettuce leaves: put in a layer of the oranges, sprinkle with sugar and if you use wine, a little sherry. Cover with a layer of fresh grated cocoa mil; next add a layer of lemon or grape fruit jelly; then cocoanut, more oranges etc .Ior two nours Decorate the top with sections nf tu orane and a sweet salad dressing. .-KAAt, AND BANANA SALAD. Remove the skins from four TD,.i-o.,i i ripe bananas and cut each in about three lengths, cut each piece in quar ters; sprinkle with a little lemon juice and powdered sugar and set on ice to chill. Peel and cut five or si-s- nto small pieces, removine- seeds nn,i white pith. Put the oranges and ba nanas into a glass dish in alternate lay ers; pour a tart French dressing over tne wnoie; set a. blanched lettuce heait in the center and some tinv crisn let tuce leaves around the edge- and serve. a tew oiancned almonds may be ar ranged in form of stars on top of the salad. SALAD OF JELLIED ORANGES. Make a plain lemon iellv. Wet a Plain mold and stand it in a pan of cfaeked ice. Pour into it about quar ter or an incn or the iellv and when it is firm enough to hold them arrange some orange sections in regular design, in Dottom of the mold. Dip other sec tions in some half congealed jelly and rasten tnem to the sides of the mold. When they stick pour in more jelly having it just warm enough to run- then add more orange sections and so on until mold is full. Set away to stif- i fen. then turn out on a chilled dish and arrange a border of orange sections and small dark green leaves of spinach. Serve with lemon dressing or whipped cream. CHESTNUT AND ORANGE SALAD. This is one of the most delicious salads and a very wholesome and nourishing one as well. Take a pint of large French or English chestnuts, after they are shelled and peel; then boil until they are tender, drain and while still warm marinate with French dressing and set on ice to chill. When ready to mix add enough good thick mayon naise to the chestnuts to bind well to gether. Line a salad bowl with crisp, tender lettuce leaves, slice into the bowl two small, thin-skinned oranges; cut ting the slices as thin as possible, place over these a tnyer of the nut salad: then add another layer of the sliced oranges, and another layer of the nuts. Decorate the top with stars of mayon naise, whipped oream and orange slices cut in triangles. Serve as soon as put together. SWEETBREAD SALAD. Trim, soak and blanch a pair of sweetbreads and chill on ice. Make a stiff lemon jelly. Set individual molds in cracked ice to chill and pour in a lit tle of the jelly: let it set and then place a smaller mold or cup in the center and pour the jelly around it. Let the jelly stiffen: remove the smaller mold or cup by filling it with warm water to loosen from surrounding jelly. Pick the sweetbreads apart, rejecting the skin and veins, pour enough French dressing over them to make a glaze, let them stand a few minutes, then add half the quantity of ort-nge dice. Fill the hollow centers of the lemon jelly molds with the mixture cover with a little of the jelly and set away in a cold place. Turn out on lettuce leaves and serve mayonnaise in tiny paper case on the side of salad. ORANGE, SHRIMP AND NUT SALAD Fresh or canned shrimps may be used. If the latter wash them in cold water, pick them over and wipe dry on a soft towel; then marinate with a little oil and lemon juice or vinegar. Select small thin-skinned oranges, do not peel but cut into slices; remove the seeds and core. Have a small, perfect head of white lettuce, washed, dried and crisp ed; cut out the stem, keeping the leaves in shape; place in the center of a flat salad dish and surround with a layer of the sliced oranges, the slices over lapping each other. Around the base of the lettuce arrange the shrimps in points. Place on each slice of orange around ede;e of dish, halves of English walnut meats that have been dipped in French dressing. Place four crisp, curly lettuce leaves equal distance apart at edge of dish and serve with mayon naise in separate dish. The mayon naise mav be placed in a glass or fancy china bowl and set in the center of the lettuce leaves, as these are the first re moved when salad is served. Inquiries Answered. F. E. W. writes: Will you please pub lish a recipe for caramel pie? CARAMEL PIE. Put half a cup of sugar in a clean, smooth saucepan over the fire and stir until it melts and let it boil until a light brown color, then add two table spoonfuls of water and add a pint of milk that has been warmed. Beat six eggs, add a pinch of salt, another pint of cold milk, and a teaspoonful of va nilla. Pour this into the caramel mix ture. Pour into rather deep pastry shells that have been previously baked. Set in a moderately hot oven and bake until the custard is set in the middle. Serve cold. CANDIED ORANGE PEEL. S. S. writes: I am very much inter ested in your department and take pleasure in cutting cut the recipes. Would you kindly tell me how- candied orange peel is prepared? This is one way that has proved very satisfactory: Soak the skins in salt and water for three or four days, then throw into cold water and boil until tender. In the meantime take their weight in granulated sugar and add enough water to make a rich syrup. Let it get. cool. Scrape all the stringy part and pulp from the skins: put the-.n one in the other and lay in a stone crock or jar and pour the cold syrup over them. When it grows thin, drain it off and add enough sugar to make rich syrup. Let this get cold, then pour it over the skins.

TOPEKA STATE JOTTRNAL, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 6, 1303. 9 TOE 3IADEXGWEER. "What is the matter with you. Kirk.' rVimfhow you have looked and acted tlrangely to me today?" I said this to the engineer or ray train as we stood on the platform of the station at V about ready to start. Mine was a lute train. We left V at 6: HO p. m. for a run of three hours and a half to th junction at K Kiver. It was in November, and the riays were so short that it was al roailv dark. It would be a black night, for the sky was overcast and tn.-ie no moon. My engineer stood on th platform a little ahead of his endue, ni that the plow from the headlight revealed him plainly to me without the aid of the lantern which I held in my hand lie stood moiionl-HH. looking away down the track as though he were gazing upon the rails siretrhing outward like two bats of gleaming light, becoming less and less brilliant until they wete wallowed up in the darkness beyonrt. That aft-i noon, whenever I bar) chanced to see him. Kirk had appeared strange to me. He seemed excited and there was a wild look about his eves uc-h as I had never noticed before. II" did not look or act like a man w ho had been drinking, and I had no rea son to think that he had. for to my knowledge he had never taken a glass of liquor In his life. k. As I spoke to mm ne m m"- and' I saw a Rain the look I have men- i tioned. It was only for a moment, aoo then it was gone, and he seemed him self strain. ..There "What do you mean?"!" said. Thete Is nothing the matter with me. w ny do vou ask.? -Because you have hardly seemed yourself today. You don t look sU k etill there seems to be something the roa ter There has nothing gone wrong with you, l nope. "x-nthtne-." he answered. "I never was in better spirit: It is almost time to go. is It not I took out my wo tun ana giam 1 r, the time. He dia trie same. compared our timepieces. It still ed three minutes of the time of pa rt ing. There was hardly a second s dif ference in our watches. I ruined and walked back to the other end of the platform. The passengers were pouring into the cars, and I saw that I was to have a large tram. As I watched them passing in, I was oppress ed hv a feeling such as I had never rr.it htfoie It seemed that they were in trusting their lives to my keeping, and that if any accident happened I would be euiltv of their death. I shoiited "All a hoard:" Rave the sig nal to start, and we were off into the tloorn and the darkness of the niftht. We were to make but three stops be- tupen our starting r ant ana rv p.Iver junction. The first one was twen ty miles awav. and therefore there was no necessity of haste in going through tli train. For several minutes I re mained in the Imps-ajte car, and then commenced niv work of examining the tickets of the passengers. I had gone through the Fim-kine car, and was pass in hetween that and the first passenger coach, when it occurred to me that we were going at a higher rate of speed than was necessary for us to reach the first stopping place on time. Still I did rot know but that I might be mistaken. Kirk had alwavs been a careful driver, and took up all his time between sta tions, so that our pauses might be as short as possible. The thought regarding our speed was upnorivost in niv mind as I slowly mad my wav through the next car. whie'o was a i i-owded one and it tok me some time pet through. One woman had lost Vt ticket, 'utid efter looking every where except in the right place, it was found at last in her satchel. fi rr- this was accomplished the ei taint v was forced upon me that we were n.ini; at a teirible rate of speed. Th'' ar swayed tirun side to side with a ne t km peculiar to rapid traveling and I '-'neve that we were seheoting on-v.-eul at the rate of fully a mile a loin lit e. AN INCOMPARABLE SERVANT. -4 m

I Y f $1 "John, I've dropped 9. 'tp) "Here it Swiftly, then, the horrible suspicion flashed across my brain that all was not rirrht with Kirk that we were in the ;-ower of a madman. Surely it must he so, or he would never be driv ing the way he was. I wondered why it was that the fire man did not endeavor to sop him, or to communicate in some way with me. He was a slight built youth, and 1 the engineer were mad he would stand but a slight chance with him. Perhaps he had endeavored reason wvvith him. and Kirk had thrown him from the tab. I did not wish to alarm the passen gers, so I passed quietly back through the car; but I had no sooner Fhut the door behind me, than 1 grasped the cord overhead for the purpose of giv ing the signal to stop. .But no re sponse was siven. There was no sig nal for down brakes, and we went whirling cm through the darkness at a rate such as we had never run before. Surely Kirk was mid, and all our lives huns by a thread. From tiie objects on the roadway 1 knew that we were close to our first stopping place. If all was not right theit-, a hundred souls were doomed to itruunt destruction. There was but one thing for me to do and that was to make my way to the engine as soon as possible. I hur ried into the baggage car and there found one of my brakemen talking with the bagga Remaster, with a face as white as a sheet. "Follow me." I said to the latter. "There's same trouble on the engine. Hurry: stand by the brakes ready to put them on the moment you get the signal to do so." I threw open the door at the foremost end of the baggage car, and clambered up on the wood which was heaped high upon the tender. Once there I saw a sight such as I never hope to see again. The furnace door was open, and the great glow which sprang out revealed everything to me as plainly as though it were broad daylight. The fireman lay on the floor of the cab apparently devoid of life. The en gineer, with a face like that of a demon, was hurling the wood into the glowing furnace. The throttle was out to its utmost extent, and the engine rocked and sprang onward as though It was as mad as the insane man who had it in charge. All our lives were in peril. For a moment the sight paralyzed us both. The baggagemaster had climbed on to the wood with me, and his face I knew was but a reflection of my own. Come on:" I cried, breaking the spell at last. "We must secure him, or we are all dead men." We sprang forward toward the mad man. He saw us coming, and seemed to divine in an instant what our er rand was. Clrasping a huge billet of wood he sent it whirling at my head. By good fortune it went past me, leav ing me untouched. The next moment, and before he could grasp another mis sile, I threw myself upon him, and we went down together. By good fortune I came uppermost, and then came a terrihle struggle. The madman seemed possessed of the strength of a Samson. Had I been un derneath he would have choked my life out of me in les than a minute's time. The baggage master sprang over us, and the next instant came the signal for down brakes. Then he reversed the engine, and our terrible, speed was less ened. The madman tag doing his best to throw us both from the cab, and In spite of ail my strength it seemed that he would do it. The baggage master saw that there was only one way to save my life. Grasping a heavy piece of wood he watched his chance, and, when it came, he dealt him a blow on the head, which ended his struggles at once. Three minutes later we glided into the station, and not one of the passen gers on the train knew of the terrible danger which they had escaped. The madman was lifted from the cab and placed in the hands of the proper au thorities; and today he is an inmate of a madhouse, with little hope that reason will ever dawn again.

H'm,' says he. 'Colonel Bunker, are yo hinting at a duel? 'Broadly hinting, suh broadly. 'On what grounds?' "The razor-back hawg, suh best grounds in the world.' 1 'Oh. that bill of yours Well. Colonel, I will not decline yo'r challenge but befo' we go out let me say that I have changed my mind about yo'r bill. 1 regard it as one of the greatest meas ures of the century, and if yo' are not sent to oonaress next year the people wiil show their ingratitude. I am with yo suh, body and soul, in saying that the raor-back must go if we would make a new era.' "Well, we couldn't go out after that,' mused the Colonel. "As a matter of fact, we shook hands over the misun derstandina and became better friends than ever. When I left the Majah I proceeded to the state house to hold a little interview with Senator Henderson. He had announced in open senate that he would amend my bill hv incorpo rating polecats and black snakes, and had mauired of some one if I had eves been in a lunatic asylum. I found the senator in a committee room, and when, we had passed the time of day I care lessly observed: 'Senator Henderson. I am going to ask a favor of yo'. Would yo' mind walking out Into the country a mile or so and posing for me?' 'Pose for my photograph, do yo' mean?' he asked. "'No, not quite that. I should like yo' to pose ten paces in front of me with a pistol in yo'r hand.' 'Good land. Colonel, but what do yo' mean?' he whispers, as he begins to turn pale. 'Just a. little excursion and a pose, suh.' 'Is it about that bill of yo'r's to eliminate the razor-back hawg? If so, I want to tell yo' that I have an apology ready. Statistics have been sent me by constituents to prove that the razor back has retarded the progress of this state by fifty years, and my own belief is that he devours more forage than the mule. It's a great bill and a wise bill. Colonel, and yo' can look to me to give it hearty approval.' "Another duel was off." said Colonel Bunker, as he heaved a sigh, "but 1 had one mo' chance left. I had heard that the governor's private secretary had spoken of my bill as being intro duced by a lunatic, and 1 sought him out after dinner and asked: 'Suh. did yo' ever hear of a lunatic challenging any one to fight a duel?' 'I don't remember,' he replied, 'but why?' 'Because I desire to prove my sanl ity. If yo' will name a friend I will have a friend of mine wait upon him.' 'Is it about that hawg- bill?' 'It is." 'Then we won't have no duel. I'll take it all back. Colonel. Yo'r a states men and more far-seeing than all the rest of us combined. That bill wiil take yo' to congress, and perhaps into the White House, arjd it will jump our state ahead a hundred years." "And these were some of my little adventures while representing Clay county in the legislature," said the Colonel, as he rose up to go. "There was no mo' joking over that hawg bill. It passed both houses without objection, but the governor declared it unconsti tutional and failed to sign it, and now, suh, row And he took "now" at the bar. She Why are you so sure your play will be a success? "Why. even the manager Dlushed when he read it." Life. i i ;i p ti n r "3 I rJ ST., R C3 y y wl U u tussl FREE MESSENGER. FOR WANI3. PULL AN A. D.

10 TOPEKA STATE JOUBNAI WEDNESDAY EVENING-. MAY .1903. 3 a Mim f: v U i I j v "V r y i I J j Absolutely Pure ('LYI)K, KANSAS, IN 11)04. Correspondent Write3 of World's Fair Business. To the Editor nf the State Journal. In regard to the Missouri Pacific, I would say that thy ousht to build, ani I will endeavor to show how much bus iness will hp done between Denver and the east, if that is what they want to know. In the tirst place, they should buitd through 1'roin Lenora to Denver. This would make a fast mail line from Denver through Kansas City to Galves ton. Texas, that would he a main link for a mail line. Th"re would be about wven freight trains daily. The mail is I'JtiiiiiB into Clyde it takes three men to tell the tale the first man say.-: "Il''ie they come!" The second man Kays: "Here they are'." It takes three minutes to chanpe engines; and the third man says: "There they go!" That is good lime made. There are three reg ular freights in Clyde, now, and four more on ih road to 'tome in, while there are from ten to sixteen extra trains east from Clyde each day. Hut "with consolidated engines with :;0-ineh cylinders they could haul three more cars or tonnage than the pig engines lio-.v haul from our city east. There is a gain by using the con solidated engines of $1"0 more than the pig engines would earn But there would be more extras to go east that the regular trains have left in the yard; and we ain't got no more engines in the round house: and no crews left! Only two passenger engines! What will we do for engines and crews when the four "regulars" that have got 45 to 53 cars or tonnage on each train come in from the west, and we have no extra crews in the yard at Clyde, where the terminus is? What will we do for crews? You can use the two passenger engines to take the two stock extras east. Let the regular passenger en pines go through with the passenger trains this time, or change crews if necessary. ee how the business is! tnd we look for a biarger volume of bus iness than this. This is only a com mencement. People ain't aware that the road has been built to Denver yet. It has to be advertised that they are running trains over the new line, with one division at Clyde, another at Lenora the next one lias not been contemplated yet. while Denver will be the fourth terminal. Th road is runnir.tr pretty smooth for a new line. Talk about our new bridge at !yde. It will be as good a first class In 1 lg" as there will be on the line, and will carry any traffic they want to haul ever it. When completed it will hold s many as three engines at one time, find carry them. There is a fifteen-stall roundhouse at Clyde (or will be) and a two-story brick depot. They have also a swoei inten lent, train dispat- her and freight solicitor here (or will h ive when the rime conies for this change.)

May 6. News reached this city by mail from a thoroughly re liable source that the Nicarasuan revo lution is not at an end and that the government forces are so situated that they are unable to cross Lake Nica ragua to attack the points where the revolutionary forces are fortified.

A Democrat Is Chosen 3Iayor in Baltimore. Baltimore, May 6. The ballots in 304 of the election nrecincts cast at yester day's municipal election in this city give Robert M. McLane, Democratic candi date for the mayoralty, a plurality of 520 over Frank M. Wachter, Republi can. The ballots in the remaining four precincts are still uncounted, owing to disputes among tne judges of elections. They are now in possession of the board of election supervisors, who announced today that the boxes will not be opened until tomorrow. It is not thought pro bable that the count of these ballots will materially change the result in fa vor of McLane. Mr. Wachter, the Republican candi date, and his party leaders charge that many ballots cast in his favor have been illegally thrown out and they an nounce they will appeal to the courts. The Republican candidates for city comptroller and president of the second branch of the city council were elected. The Republicans will have a majority in the first branch. The Democrats will have a majority on joint ballot and thus will be able to, elect the city register, who is virtually the municipal treas urer. THKEW 11131 SEVEN FEET.

The pole held a lightning arrester and a wire running from it to the ground. The pole was charged with electricity, and the chain carried a shock to Stein which hurled him seven feet. The cow, shocked at the same time, jumped and jerked the chain out cf Stein's hand. This probably saved his life. He had a large bulldos with him. and the dos's chain touched the cow's chain, so the dog was in that manner shocked. After a law seconds Stein tried to get up. He was almost mad with pain Five men ran from a factory across the way and tried to restrain his writhing They say Stein's body was stiil so charged with electricity that they were all shocked. A physician worked over Stein for about an hour before he re covered. The doctor said it was aston ishing that Stein was not killed. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN An Atchison Saloon Keeper Is to Be Prosecuted.

The city ordinances require that when horses are hitched to weight that the weight shall weigh less than 20 pounds. That is nothing short of farcical. Tues day afternoon a horse, tied to a weight, ran away and the weight no more both ered him than if it had been a pill pox. Now and then a horse runs away, a man will catch the lines and try to stop him, the horse goes on and drags the man who holds the ends of the reins. A man generally weighs six or eight time as much as a 20-pound weight. The point is not ambiguous. City Ticket Office. Union Railroad. 525 Kansas avenue.

What Constitutes the "Best" LET'S FIGURE A MINUTE. Given a good fabric, the manufacturer that employs the "best" labor, pays the "best" prices for making the "best" suit. That, seems plain enough, doesn't it? And the whole matter hinges right there. men who make CLOTHES re paid the best prices known in the clothing industry. The clothes they make cost more to produce than any other kind of ready-to-wear clothes and when complete they embody every good principle of scientific tailoring. For the reason CTIESTAKFKLD CLOTHES for men are unqual ifiedly "The Best", away head and shoulders, above any other make that you have ever seen or heard of. He is a mighty good tailor who equals them. As to fit and fabric you must judge. Suits from $13.00 to $30.00 Spring; Footwear. are now in stock.
