The Topeka council is the bitr fifst in the state and had pretty ably demonstrated its riprht to considera tion by the manner in which it has handled the bis convention. At 4 o'clock this afternoon the women attending the meetings will make the rounds of the department stores on Kansas p.venue by special invitation of the proprietors. Topeka has some very nttraoiive stores as the visitors have already discovered and it is planned to have them shown off at the very best advantage this afternoon.

Not many years ago John Philip Sousa planned to tour the west with his band. Topeka and other Kansas towns, were included in the itinerary. Tne bandmaster avranged his programmes with a light but excellent grade of mu sic for the first visit. Then he came west again and the programmes were heavier. Sousa explained it.' "I am go ing to educate the people to the ap preciation cf better music than they have heard." Sousa was the advance guard. Perhaps the country was ripe for the missionary work, but at any rate Sousa's educational tours have borne fruit. Ten or twelve years ago would To peka music lovers have dared to bring the two greatest symphony orchestras to Topeka for successive concerts and at the same time to have engaged the two highest priced and foremost solo ists in the country, to say nothing of a quartette of renowned concert singers and four of the most famous instru mentalists in the country? It is a far cry from Sousa's brass band and stirring marches to the Duss and Thomas orchestras, "Tannhauser" and Tschaikowski's "Symphony Patne tique," and similar selections which make up the orchestral numbers of the festival programmes. The tutoring of the people, that is what is so common ly called "the masses," has been steady. The band, was the first means but then some of the famous orchestras, such as Stvauss' from Vienna, singers like the beloved Henschels followed the blazed path made by the bandmaster. Kansas has slowdy but surely proved that her people love music and espe cially good music. The Topeka Choral society has found that the efforts of the organization to bring the best talent to the auditorium have 'been appreciated. Expensive musical ventures are haz ardous everywhere, but the Choral so ciety does not seem to have undertaken a greater project than is justifiable. It has taken up the task of educating "the masses" where the brass bands left oft and with the May festival comes the post graduate course. The organizations and musicians who wdll take part in the festival nro r.ammes will be the Topeka Choral so ciety, with a chorus of 00 voices sing ing "The Creation" under the leadership of George R. P'enny: the Theodore Thomas Chicago orchestra, wdth Fred erick A. Stock as conductor: Jenny Os- born Hanna, soprano; Glenn Hall, tenor; Frank .Croton, basso: Mabelie Crawford, contralto: the Metropolitan opera house orchestra, J. S. Dus. con duetor: Madam Lillian Nordica, pri ma donna soprano; F.-iouard de .Keszke, basso, and E. Romayne Simmons, pianist. The following is the programme for the concert Monday night: "The Creation," Oratoria by Joseph Haydn, the Topeka Choral Society, Geo. B. Penny, conductor; the Theodore Thomas Orchestra, Frederick A. Stoek, conductor: soloists, Jenny Osborn, so prano. Glenn Hail, tenor, Frank Crox ton, basso. The oratorio of "The Creation" was composed hy Papa Haydn in his old age, yet it is as fresh in its melodic invention as any of the earlier w-orks of the master. It possesses all the qual ities of Haydn's work, simplicity, clear ness of style, grace and finish. Never has the humpn voice been treated in a more masterly manner, or supported hy a more flowing and brilliant orchestra tion, than in this work. The dramatic interest is limited. There is no decla mation, and the singers are confined to description, but this is so splendidly done that the oratorio will always retain its hold on the nuhlic. The tone picture of "Chaos" with which the work opens, stands out as one of the noblest bits of instrumenta tion that Haydn wrote. The air "With Verdure Clad" is exquisite in melody and orchestration. and likewise the great air "On Mighty Pens." The chor uses reach a high point of beauty in regard to themes. development and voice treatment, and "The Heavens are Tell ing" still remains one of the noblest of oratorio choruses. The programme for Tuesday after noon will be as follows: Svmphony concert. The Theodore Thomas Orchestra. Frederick A. Stock conductor. Soloist, Ma belle Crawford, contralto. March, "Tannhauser" Wagner Born Mav 22. ISIS, at Lelpr-ic. ried Feb. 1?., 1SSS. at Venice.

Kansas Man Asked for His Head and Got It. Work of Probing Postal Affairs to Go On. Washington, May 9. The investiga tion of the affairs of the postoffice de partment, which has been dragging along for two months, took a sensational turn wdien by order of Postmaster Gen era! Payne, August W. Machen, general superintendent of the free delivery sys tem, and one of the most widely known government officials in the United States, was relieved from his duties and Postoffioe Inspector M. C. Fosnes was designated to take charge of that serv ice. The change takes effect this morn ing. Mr. Fosnes will have charge of the free delivery service and at the same time that service will pass under control of the ofrice of fourth assistant post master general. Heretofore it has been under the jurisdicth-.i of the first assist ant postmaster general. The action of the ocstmaster general was taken on written recommendation of Fourth As sistant Postmaster General Brlstow, who is directing the investigation of the. affairs, that the transfer of Mr. 5k chen's bureau to his jurisdiction and its administration by a postotfice inspector would expedite the investigation. In ordering- the change the postmaster general gave Mr. Machen "leave of ab sence until the investigation is con cluded." Mr. Machen promptly acquiesced in the decision of the postmaster general, takins occasion to say he courted the fullest investigation of his official con duct. Mr. Machen haa been under fire ever since the investigation began. Charges cf various kinds have been Tending against the administration of the free delivery branch of the postal service. These included allegations of collusion with letter box manufacturers in the furnishing of boxes to postofflee pa trons, particularly on rural mail route?, ami the appointment of carriers, etc. There also has been a conflict between Mr. Machen and First Assistant Post master General Wynne ever since th" latter assumed office. Mr. Wvnne charges Mr. Machen with insubordina tion. The strained relations between the oeciu or tne tree oe'.very service and other officials resulted in an embarrass ing state of affairs, and for several months correspondence between the general superintendent of the ftee de livery service and his immdiate supe rior, the first assistant postmaster gen eral has been conducted on the part of the lormer through one of his subordi nate. Mr. Bristow all along has been of. the opinion that the best interest of service would be subserved by the re lief of Mr. Machen and has pointed out to the postmaster general that ac tion was imperatively necessary to the conduct of the investigation. Mr. Payne in discussing the matter said he believed the correspondence told the whole story. Mr. Bristow, he said, had come to his office and they had a conference during which Mr. Bristow presented his letter requesting to be put into full charge of the office in order to expedite the investigation. He declined to say whether the changes would be permanent, saying that that depended on the result of" the investiga tion. Mr. Maciien came here from Toledo. Oiiio, in 1S9.-!, and qualified as superin tendent of free delivery service on May 6 of that year. Since then the office has grown to immense proportions and the rural free delivery mail service has been introduced and extended to cover all parts of the country Mr. Fosnes is one of the best known inspectors in the service. He is chief assistant of Mr Bristow in the investi gation. He is a native of Norway, where he was born in ISM, and his home is Des Moines. Iowa He was once a spe cial examiner of the pension blireau and subsequently served as postoffioe inspector at Philadelphia. Chicago, Helena and St Paul.. He is still post office inspector in charge of the St. Paul division He is best known in connection with the investigation of postal frauds in Cuba. On the sensa tional dismissal of Estes G. Rathbone. Mr. Fosnes was appointed director gen eral of posts of Cuha, assuming that office on June 23. 1900. and holding it until May 20. 1902, when the TJ. S. sovereignty on tne i?!:nd ceased. Ex-Representative Loud of Cali fornia, who was chairman of the house committee on postoffiees and post roads, has spent much time during the past two or three days in conference with Mr. Payne. First Assistant Postmaster General" Wynne and Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow. Mr. Loud and Mr. Machen have been at odds of ficially for nearly two years and it is believed the counsel of Mr. Loud fig ured in the development. Mr. Machen was not inclined to talk but expressed confidence that he could rebut allega tions made against him. He said: "I have no fear of not being able to meet any and all of the charges that have been made under investigation for the jMst several weeks. I take the action of the department to be a step toward ex pediting and closing up the investiga tion as promptly as possible and de signed to give Mr. Biisrow an oppor tunity of getting a thorough insight info the free delivery service." Mr. Machen will be at the department tomorrow to relinquish his office to Mr. i Fosnes. He says that, except. while re moving his family to his summer home at Westminister. Md.. he will remain in this city during his leave of absence. One of the plans under considera tion in connection with reorganization is to keep the rural free delivery ser vice permanently under the jurisdiction of the fourth assistant postmaster gen eral leaving the regular free delivery service in its former jurisdiction that of the first assistant postmaster general. Mr. Fayne explained any rearrange ment of duties would hinge largely on the result of the investigation. First Assistant Postmaster Genera! Wynne left the city today for a short vacation.

DATE IS FIXED. Extra Session Will Be Called for November 9. Immediately After the Fall Elections Take Place. ROOSEVELT'S ORDER Has Been Issued to Sergeant at Arms of Senate. Cuban Reciprocity to Be the Feature of the Call. Denver, May 9. The News today prints an interview with Daniel M. Ransdall sergeant-at-arms of the United States senate to the effect that an extra session of Congress would be called about November 9. Mr. Ransdell and family are spending several weeks in Colorado for his son's health. Mr. Rans dell is quoted as follows: "President Roosevelt sent word to me through Secretary Loeb last week at St. Louis that I could prepare to re ceive the senators immediately, or as soon as possible after election day. To Secretary Bennett, of the senate, President Roosevelt made the direct statement that congress would be sum moned just as soon as the fall elections were cut of the way." "What will the call provide shall be taken up?" was asked. "The reciprocity treaty with Cuba." "Will the Philippine tariff reduction measure be resurrected for considera tion?" "I think it will as soon as the Cuban business is disposed of." CUBA WILL WAIT. No Disposition to Hurry Shown by the Congress. Havana, May 9. The disposition to delay action on the pending treaties, coupled with the fact that the senate foreign relations committee still shows no indication of reporting the coaling and naval stations agreement made February 15 between President Roose velt and President Palma, is causing in creasing doubt as to whether all or any of the matters will be disposed of before the close oi the present session of con gress. Congress is likely to adjourn within six weeks. The next session will begin in November simultaneously with the special reciprocity session of the United States congress. President Palma is anxious to conclude all treat ies as early as possible, but he takes occasion to consult with senators and representatives at all stages, with the result that numerous objections and pretexts for delay are made. No real question is pending in connection with either of the treaties. The placing of the Piatt amendment into the form of a treaty is Cuba's own proposition, made with the purpose of taking the Piatt requirements out of the constitution and out of politics. The treaty conceding the Isle of Pines to Cuba causes no objec tion here. The only treaty in which there is room for discussion is that for carrying out the agreement of the presi dents, referring to the leasing of coal ing and naval stations, which is strictly in accordance with the Piatt amend ment. Some persons who favor delay hold that Cuba is not bound to vield the concessions required by the Piatt amendment unless the United States grants reciprocity. This contention is based upon the allegation that Presi dent McKinley definitely promised re ciprocity. It is also held that since the United States ft retarding reciprocity, Cuba has equal reason to retard other matters. Others assume that the amount of lands described in the naval and coaling agreement is unwarranted ly large. The leaders generally, al though disinclined to discuss the' mat ter, appear to agree that there is no necessity for haste: that whatever Cuba gains will be through a waiting policy. Some senators and representa tives who. as members of the constitu tional convention opposed the Flatt amendment, say it would be inconsist ent to vote for the amendment now. Another potent reason for delay is found in the fact that the elections for half of the members of congress and nil municipal officers are to be held in December and politicians are not in clined to speak in favor of carrying out the provisions of the Flatt amend ment during the campaign, and espe cially as it is anticipated that the house, as well as the senate, will be required to act in authorizing the leas ing of lands to a foreign government President Raima's influence is gen erally felt to be strong enough if de terminedly exercised tooarry thesemat ters through the house as well as the senate. TO JAIL TO GET CLEAN. To Get a Bath Connecticut Man Ha Himself Arrested. Winsted, Conn., May 9. A well dressed stranger, who refused to give his name or address, called at thecoun tv 1ail in Litchfield today and asked Jailer Leonard if prisoners were given I baths.

Ferdinand Baker was arrested at Okolona, Wednes day night and accused of attempting to bribe Mr. Bristow, the fourth assistant postmaster general. Baker is accused of writing to Bristow and offering him $300 for appointment as postmaster at New Albany or Indianola. He confessed when shown the letters. fHUST GO TO PRISON. Jessie Morrison's 20 Year Sen tence Affirmed. The supreme court today affirmed the lower court in the Jessie Morrison case, which means that the Butler county murderess must serve twenty years in the penitentiary. Judge A. L. Redden, Miss Morrison's chief attorney, will file a motion for a rehearing in the supreme court, and in view of the fact that the first appeal resulted in a reversal he hopes to 'get a chance to argue the present appeal again. The court, however, was un animous in its decision today. The first time Miss Morrison was tried the jury disagreed; at the second trial she was convicted of manslaugh ter and her sentence was five years in the penitentiary. The case was ap pealed and reversed by the supreme court, and she was again tried on the charge of murder in the first degree, although her attorneys contended that the trial should be for manslaughter, as that was the degree in which she was convicted in the trial from which an appeal was taken. The third trial resulted in a conviction of murder and Miss Morrison was sentenced to twenty years in the penitentiary. Another ap peal was taken, and it is that one which w as decided today, the supreme court affirming the judgment of the lower court. The chief grounds of appeal were that the trial judge was prejudiced against the defendant, that members of the jury had expressed an opinion in the case, and that the third trial should have been for manslaughter in stead of murder in the first degree. The supreme court decided that while the trial judge may have expressed an opinion it was not shown that his rul ings were prejudicial to the defendant; that the opinion expressed by a jury man was that Miss Morrison kiiled Clara Wiley Castle, but was not on the question of whether the killing was justified; and that it was right to try the case the third time upon the orig inal charge, as long as a new trial was ordered. NOW IN OKLAHOMA. El Dorado, Kan., May 9. The Morri son-Castle case was the most sensa tional ever tried in Kansas. Jessie Morrison and Clara Wiley were In love with Olin Castle, a clerk in a racket store where Miss Morrison also was JEcSSIE MORRISON. employed. WMthin a week after Castle married Miss Wiley, the women fought in Mrs. Castle's home with a razor, Mrs. Castle being slashed in a horrible manner, and Miss Morrison being cut badly. Miss Morrison, who at her three trials alleged self-defense, assert ed that Mrs. Castle had called her into the house and started a. quarrel over a letter said to have been received by Castle from Miss Morrison. At the first trial the jury disagreed, the verdict of the second trial, which resulted in a five year sentence, was reversed. Miss Morrison has been out on bail and is visiting a brother at Enid. Okla.. A month ago it as reported that she intended leaving the country and she said: "1 have been living here happily, but it seems that my contentment causes distress among my enemies. They wdsh to create a prejudice against me in order to affect me in the courts." Miss Morrison is the daughter of H. M Morrison, formerly circuit judge at El Dorado. Olin Castle was remarried last month and is now living in Cali fornia. FOR A FAIR SUNDAY. That Is the Promise of the Weather Bureau. Section Director T. B. Jennings' heart is like stone. He has no com passion for even such a combination- as a circus and a traveling men's conven tion. Today was begun cloudy with a sky which threatened rain any minuue. Today's forecast holds out a little hope. It is "generally fair tonight and Sun day." Today's corn and wheat region bulle tin says: "The day temperatures yesterday averaged ten degrees higher over the state than on Thursday, though but slight changes have occurred in the night temperatures. Local showers have occurred in the eastern counties of this state, and in the western districts." The maximum and minimum tem peratures lor the 24 hours ending at seven o'clock this morning were as fol lows: Baker 76, 51: Concordia 70, 54; Dodge City 6S, 52: Dresden 6, 46: Fort Scott 72, 52: Hays 70, 48; Macksville 70, 50; McPherson 74, 52: Manhattan 74, 50; Osage City 74, 54; Sedan 70, 56; Topeka 74, 56: Toronto 70, 50; Wichita S, 56. The wind at noon was south blowing eight miles an hour. The hourly tem peratures recorded today were as fol lows: 7 o'clock 58:11 o'clock 74 8 o'clock 64 12 o'clock 72 9 o'clock 67i 1 o'clock 73 10 o'clock 701 2 o'clock 75 IT IS STARTED. Republican Anti Machine Ma chine Is Finally Organized. Senator Hays B. White Is the President. WILL ISSUE ADDRESS. Also Expect to Use Roosevelt to Gain Prestige. Recognized as Very Clever Ma chine Tactics. The organization of the anti-faction Republican machine was perfected at 5 o'clock Friday afternoon at a meeting held in the old court house. It was at tended by about 50 Republicans from different parts of the state. It is said that 45 different counties were repre sented, in the meeting. SENATOR HAYS B. WHITE. The name of the new organization is the Kansas Republican League. It was not a general meeting of Republicans, however. No general invitation to Re publicans was issued. The call was is sued at the secret meeting attended by 15 or 20 anti-machine Republicans a few weeks ago, and each one was asked to name at least two more from his judic ial district who could be trusted and who would be in favor of smashing the present machine which is controlled by Cyrus Leland, Morton Albaugh and their friends. To all of these J. G. Blonecker sent invitations to attend the meeting held Friday and in this way; the attendance was secured. The officers elected are as follows: President Senator Hays B. White ot Jewell county. First Vice President Carr W. Taylor of Reno county. Second Vice President Representative George E. Tucker of Greenwood county. Secretary Captain H. M. Philips of Shawnee county. Treasurer Harry L. Woods of Sum ner county. It is said that J. G. Slonecker will do the active work of secretary. He has been largely instrumental in the organi zation of the league and will do much of the work in its extension. A committee consisting of Ewdng Her bert F. B. Dawes. J. G. Slonecker, Clyde Miller and George E. Tucker was appointed to prepare an address to the Republicans of the state setting forth the avowed objects of the league. Ewing Herbert has already issued two such addresses himself. The next move will be to extend tha organization into every county of tha state if possible. In order to do this it is proposed to call the county organi zations "Roosevelt Republican clubs." Of course every Republican in Kansas and a good many Democrats as well arn for Roosevelt, and it is though' by or ganizing the counties under the guisl of Roosevelt clubs a big organization can be secured. It is figured that this is a safe thing to do because the organ ization of the new machine has already been effected and there will he no chance for a change until after the next Republican state convention, and it is for the purpose of controlling the next state convention that the league is pri marily organized. The promoters of the organization state that the formation of the league is for the purpose of eliminating faction alism from the Rejjublican party ot Kansas, but it is noticed that it is made tip altogether of one faction that fac tion that opposed the election of Sen ator Long in the last legislature. Sotnl of the promoters, too, are open in theip assertion that their chief aim is to de. feat those who are at present in con trol of the state committee primarily Leland and Albaugh so that the talk of eliminating factionalism sounds pecu liar. In fact, it all depends upon tha point of view. If you happen to belong to the new machine its purpose is very plainly to eliminate factionalism, if you belong to the old machine it is just as evident that the new machine is solely for the purpose of getting some body else out and getting the new ma chine in. The tactics taken by the machine cer tainly display a shrewdness, worthy oB Cyrus Leland himself. And it is quits possible that it will be successful to a certain degree. The Roosevelt club idea will appeal to thousands of voters who would not for anything go into a fac tional fight such as seems imminent, and through county organizations formed along this line the new machine may be able to control a large number cf county delegations to the next state convention. Ew ing Herbert and some of the other promoters of the league deplore the "machine" idea in politics, yet the ne.v organization is more of a machine than the old. As a matter of fact the only way in which anything can be accom plished is by organization, and an or ganization is nothing more or less than a machine. Within the past two weeks there ha9 been some show for the different ele ments to get together some show that those now in authority in the party might lay aside their power and make concessions to their enemies.

The semi-arid belt of Kansas is going to produce a forty-bushel-to-the-acre wheat crop this season. It is to be due in part to the copious rainfall of the spring and win ter and in the main to the savins of the water effected by the Campbell system of soil culture. So said (5. it. Werner a citizen of this county for the past seventeen years, who is making arrangements to go to Kurope to induce settlers to buy West frn Kansas lands. He will take with him one or more of the European resi dents of Thomas county to help him in his colonization efforts. It is expected by the colonization people of Kansas that many Germans, Swedes and Panes will be induced to locate in Kansas this Hummer. The business cards of Mr. Werner are inscribed 'F.hilieli, wnehrt ant iaengsten." It means something about honesty and the verity of the ji-ospect that awaits the settler from Europe. "The? wheat prospect in Western Kan sas," said Mr. Werner, "is the best that we have had for years. The rainfall lias been copious. The cultivation of the soil has been in the most approved manner. The average yield expected this year is forty bushels to the acre. There are fields that will go fifty bush els or more. The hardest rain to visit the semi-arid belt in years fell Tuesday, it. washed out roadbeds and delayed trains. These rains are in pursuance of infallible weather signs that are well known to the settlers of this section. We expect heavy June rains as a con-deiuem-e of the conditions which fore told the recent rains. The people of Western Kansas iiguro that heavy spring fogs mean June rains.

There is no mere gov ernment land in this section, it has all been entered. The day of the hoinf -Header there has gone. And that is one of the reasons the country is coming to the front. The people who are there now have invested their money in the soil and are making every effort to realize the greatest revenue possible from the invest ment.

The Campbell system of cultivation aim moisture conservation is coming to be generally practiced, ft has been advo cated for a lon-r time, but the farmers had to be shown before they would gen- j crally adopt the system.

The I system is to stir the surface of the soil in the early spring with a disk to th.- dcr.th of three Inches. In June the ground is .-lowed six or seven inches deep.

An unknown heavyweight boxer called on Georg3 Gardner at his training quarters in the Norwood Inn yesterday and asked per mission to put on the gloves with the man who expects to b at Marvin Hart next Wednesday night at Louisville. Gardner being an accommodating young fellow-, granted the stranger's request, and for a few minutes the large crowd present enjoyed a good laugh. The unknown evidently thought pret ty well of himself, as he walked into the training quarters w ith his chest ex panded several inches. He watched John Kramer and Gardner box three rounds, and then went into the dress ing room to put cn his fighting togs. He was about ready to walk out and face Gardner when he noticed that Kramer's nose was bleeding. "How did you get that bloody nosey" he asked of Kramer, as a look of terror overspread his coun tenance, "oh, that's nothing," replied Kramer. "You can't be a boxer if your nose does not bleed once in a while." The fellow was ready to throw up his job right then and there, but friends persuaded him to go on, and in a few minutes his nerve came back to. him and he went out to take his medicine. Gardner tooled around with him in the iirsl round and did not try to hit hard, while the unknown was swinging away with all his force trying to knock Gardner into dreamland. "Not so hard." said Gardner, intending to give thft novice more confidence. "You know I have to fight next week and do not care to havemy block knocked off." This little warning seemed to give the stranger more confidence, and in his volley of wild swings he accidentally hit Gardner on the nose. The blow was a hard one and shook Gardner up, but j the round ended without any damage 1 being done. j In the next round Gardner pulled 1 away trom a couple ot hard smashes and thi-n shot out a straight right that caught the novice unawares and almost lifted him off his feet. It was then that the unknown began to weaken. He hugged, clinched and begged for his life, uhile Gardner pretended to be ex cited p.nd kept swinging for the fellow's head. He was terror stricken, and if he had been possessed of a pair of wings he would have taken to the skies with out a second's delay. Every now and then he' would make an attempt'ai land V" brow, but Gardner scared him 'Off by' letting out a grunt and pullihg'baok as thousrh to land a blow that would hn-fi? carried death and destruction in its path. Time was fin ally called, and the unknown, who was out for heavy-weight honors, heaved a sigh of relief and hurried back into the dressing 100m and fell into a chair. His ambition to become a fighter was gone, and he wanted no more of Gardner's game. Golf Players Matched. Xew York, May 0.

YOAKUM FOR PRE3IDENT. 'lay Bo at Head of Rock Island Oper ating Department. New York. May 9. B. F. Yoakum's -.election as a director of the Chicaero. Rock Island .t Pacific railway company is regarded by railroad men as having an especial significance. This company Is the corporation that operates th-3 Rock Island system and is distinct from the Rock Island Holdings company. President Yoakum of the Frisco system, while a shrewd and successful financier, is primarily a first-class railroad oper ating man. and there had been rumors that in the event of the merger of the Rock island and Frisco systems he would succeed V. B. Leeds as the oper ating president of the combination. President Leeds began to feel the bur den of overwork about a year ago. and was obliged to take a long rest. He is said to be averse to increasing his ad ministrative responsibilities. The union of the Rock Island and the Frisco will create a railroad system embracing about 14,000 miles of line. Friends of Mr. Leeds say that the most natural di vision of the executive management of the merged properties would be to con tinue Mr. Leeds as president of the kock island Holding company and make Mr. Yoakum president of the Rock Is land operating company. WARNING TO THE LION. Better Lock Up Its Money, for Stil well la Coming. Kansas City, Mo., May 9 A. E .Stil well, president of the Kansas City Mex ico fc Orient railroad, accompanied by K.

There Mr. Sti'well 'will spend considerable time with the Eng lish lords and dukes who are supplying much of the money for the promotion of the Orient railroad and the other Stilweil enterprises. After a time spent there the local officials will in all proba bility go across the channel to Holland, where other stockholders will be told of the progress and prospects of the Ori ent. Mr l ickinson has left for Los An-gele.-i, wnci-e he goes to bring his familv back to Kansas City.

When a telephone attached to the Rock Island railroads telegrsiph wires furnishing this kind of communication to all points on this di vision was placed in the local passen ger station this morning work was only commenced on an expensive and conven ient improvement that the company is installing all ovtr its system. The idea is not a new one as railroad offices of the various roads in th east are all equipped with the convenience, but it Is Something new in the west. It Is estimated that it costs thousands of dollars to make the improvement, which Is mostly for the cost of pur chasing the telephone apparatus though It does not cost much for the labor of Installing them.

WHERE ROCK ISLAND STANDS. Largest System in U. S. Except the the Harrimen Group. By the acquisition of the Frisco sys tem the Rock Island becomes the pro prietor ot the largest railroad system in the United States with the single exception of the Harriman, Kuhn, Loeb group, which controls the Union Pacific, the Southern Pacific and the Oregon Short Line railroad. The total mileage under the control of the Rock Island company will be 14.U4S miles, including the recent arrangement with the South ern Pacific by which the Rock Island acquired a half interest in 1,:U6 miles of Texas railroad. The capitalization of the Fsico consists of 64 million dol lars ot common stock, 31 million dollars of second preferred stock and 5 million dollars of first preferred stock. The capital of the Rock Island amounts to 150 million dollars. The Leeds, Reid, Moore syndicate, through the Rock island company, will now have a railroad system extending from St. Paul and Minneapolis to Gal veston and New Orleans, and from Chi cago to Colorado Springs. It will reach into Alabama and Tennessee and may, in the near future, reach the Atlantic coast by acquisition of tne uenuai ian way of Georgia. Three men Joined forces to pass the control of the Frisco. They were B. F. Yoakum, its president; James Campbell of St Louis, the largest individual stockholder, and R. F. Cheney of Bos ton, who was chairman of the reorgani zation committee ot the Atchison tail road.

During the four years that the Inter changeable mileage bureau of the Cen tral Passenger association' lines has been in operation 1.000,001 mileage books, rep resenting 1.000,000,000 miles, have been sold for $30,000,000. Of this amount $10. 000.000 has been returned to the cur chasers in drawbacks, leaving the net revenue to the roads ?-'0,000,0(M). Supt. Henderson Goes West. The Albuquerque Journal-Democrat says: George R.

A proposition has been presented to the members of the Western Passenger association by the Federation of Com mercial Travelers" Associations of America for the issue of a 3,000-ruili: intevchangeable ticket good on trains. The advantage to be derived from this form in preference to the one now in use is that much time will be saved in making the exchange o certificates at the stations. MEN TELL THEIR BIDE. Great Excitement at Dodge City Over Supt. Ayer's Order. Dodge City, Kan., May 9. To the Topeka State Journal. Local railroad and business me are in a furore ot excitement over the ac tion of Superintendent Ayer in dismiss ing from the service of the Santa Fe, a number of engineers, conductors and brakemen. They are charged with frequenting joints and some of the discharged men have never been known to drink alco holic liquors, on the other hand it is a notorious fact that men who are hard drinkers are still in the service. It is also known that some of the of fice force "indulge" to quite an extent. Last summer one of our business int.i went away on a visit and rented bis house furnished to a certain official and dispatcher who purchased the fiery li quid in gallon jugs, it is presumed for horse liniment. While we must admit that of all men in the world a railroad man should be temperate, how about the office man whose instructions the trainman has to follow? The greater number of the men dis charged have lived here for years and have by patient industry acquired com fortable homes and are among the most respected members of this community. It seems strange that the work of these men suited other superintendents and that there has never been any fault found with them heretofore, in fact they are as good a class of men as can be found in any station in life. People here regret it exceedingly as such a charge is nothing short of de famation of character and the men con cerned are not likely to submit tamely, the end is not yet. A SANTA FE MAN. Waiting Orders from Kansas City. Ogden, Utah, May There was no strike of the Southern Pacific boiler makers today, though the thirty days' notice given the company expired today. The officers of the union have the mat ter under consideration at the grand lodge in Kansas City.

The situa tion with respect to the boilermakers employed at the Southern Pacific shops in this city revealed no change today, the local union waiting for instructions i from the head organization. It is said in event of a sympathetic strike the company may reduce its force of men in this city from 3,000 to 500 and secure the material from eastern manufac turers. Big Freight Warehouse. St. Paul. Minn., May 9. The North ern Pacific railway has petitioned the city council for the vacation of tout cross streets, two alleys and a part of Fifth street adjoining the company's main freight house. On the land it i proiKised to erect a freight warehouse covering four city blocks with eleven yard tracks, and on four other adjoin ing blocks belonging to the railroad will be erected freieht warehouses. Connect With the Orient. Oklahoma City, Okla., May 9. Okla homa St.. Louis railway officials here anounce that an agreement has been concluded whereby a railroad is to be built from Oklahoma City northwest to a point on the Kansas City, Mexico Orient, about 100 miles.

HaTemeyer Wants to Publicly Debate Strike Question. New Tork, May 9. John C. Havemeyer in an open letter published in the news papers of Yonkers, Issues a challenge to the trades unions in which he offers to engage a public hall and defray all ex penses, excepting for the speakers, and makes one condition that the unions agree to confine their sneches to an swering questions to be furnished by him in advance. He asserts that a re fusal to accept his offer will be acknowl edgment of weakness on the part of the men. In his letter Mr. Havemeyer says to the trades unions: "Has it ever occurred to you that the ability or skill to do any kind of Work comes from God, and is a trust of which we are bound to make good use? To what extent has any man the right to cease from work and thus cease to use the gift; and bas he the right by per suasion or force to keep other men from exercisins this gift, even if he is un willing to use it himself? If through idleness men are refusing to use the talent which God gave them thev cer talply are fighting him, and are eneaced m a nopeiess contest.

PEAIlf'S ESQl JIMO BOY. He Is Introduced to One More Phase of Civilization. New Y'ork, May 9.. Meno Peary Wallace, the young Esquimo boy brought by Peary from the ice fields north of Greenland, four years ago, has undergone his first surgical opera tion. The little fellow, who is 13 years of age, suffered from enlarged glands of his neck.which threatened to be attend ed by serious complications. The op eration was performed In the Fordham hospital from which he soon will be discharged cured, the doctors say. 13. B. Wallace of the Museum of Nat ural History adopted the boy who has become thoroughly Americanized. He was one of four Esquimos brought to this countryby Mr. Peary; three of them died within a short time after their arrival from consumption. A week ago it was decided that the boy would have to submit to an operation. The lad looked forward to the operation without fear and the surgeons say it is largely due to his splendid courage that his recovery is complete. The boy was named after Lieutenant Peary and Mr. Wallace. Waiting for a Kise.

TOPEKA STATE "JOURNAL, SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 9,1803. niss tauer wins. Supreme Court A Cirrus Judg ment Against Sella Estate. Xarbara Tauer-will receive her Judg ment of Jio.Ooo from the estate left by the late Mrs. Simon Greenspan, formerly firs. Allan Sells. The supreme court to. day aihrmed the judgment of the lower court in the case of Miss Taucr against the executors of Mrs. Greenspan's will tn which Miss Tauer was awarded a judgment of $15,000 by the trial court. Barbara Ta.uer was for years Mrs. Sells-t Irei-nsiian's nurse a nil companion long before she married Btmon Green span, in fact. She received no wages, tut it was her understanding that Mrs, fcei;s-Greonsian was to will her part of the latter's property upon her death, but when the will was opened there was no bequest for Miss Tauer. She first filed a claim in the probate court of Shaw nee county for $15,000, which was al. lowed, but was appealed to the district court, which gave a judgment for the total amount asked for. Now the su preme court affirms the decision. "One cannot recover the price of in toxicating liijuors illegally sold in Kan. ns," This is the brief but conclusive state ment which the supreme court makes in suit brought by a firm of wholesale liquor dealers ,f Kansas City against O. V. Uosa and J. II. Powell, of Elgin, Chautauqua count-. This is the Kansas "Dreyfus case," Tneyfu Jones being the Kansas City firm. One of the latter's traveling men fold the Kl2"in firm a barrel of whisky and later two cases of rye, the former of which failed to come tip to specifica tions, and the firm refused to pay for it. One allegation set forth was that the eale was made in Kansas and was in violation of the laws of the state, and the supreme court upholds the content tion. .Missouri liquor dealers will be careful" how- they sell liquor to their Ivansas' patrons in the future. In the bigamy case of the state gainst Jcimes M. Pendleton, alias Cods P. Morri. appealed from Lyon county, the supnime court affirmed the lower court. Thus Is the case iu which Pen dleton, whose home was in Missouri, wrote home from Oklahoma that he had died and hajd a coffin with a cake of ice In it buriedlfor himself. Then he went to Kmnoria and married a young girl down there. He sot found out. and was tried and convicted of btframy, as he already had a wife and family in Mis souri. The case was appealed on a technicality, but the bigamist lost and win have to go to the Kansas peniten tiary. M. 'A. Wilson, the Rawlins ex-county attorney who Is accused of robbing the county treasury of the county after having the safe blown open, partially wins a case in the supreme court, or rather his bondsmen win. While he was county attorney he collected a lot of money on seed notes, given by farmers back during the hard times for monev advanced by the state for seed. He failed to turn this money over to the county, and suit was brought against bis bondsmen. The supreme court holds that the money would not natural ly come into his hands, and his bonds men can be held only for that which properly came into his hands as county attorney.

After a great deal of kicking the Sells Forepaugh circus company produced $;is in license fees this morning for the privilege of exhibiting in Topeka. The $200 was for a three-ring circus and the $18 for side shows. Of course the professional "license bus ter" in the employ of the circus made the usual strenuous demonstrnttonagainst pav ing the stipulated fee. lie went to see Mayor Bergundthal and could pot per suade him to reduce the license. Then he hunted up some of the members of the ii-' cense committee and met with the same discouraging statement that, the citv or dinance fixes the price and it can't be changed except by amending the ordi nance.

By far the most important matter to come up for the consideration of the trustees of Washburn college at their meeting next Tuesday is the selection of a dean for the new law school that President Plass is striving hard to build up at Washburn. There are a number of candidates for the position, but it is known that only one of these is under serious consideration. The identity of this candidate is partially unknown. President Plass and teoretarv of Trus tees Greenwood were both seen, but re fused to divulee the name of the prob able head of the law department, far ther than to state that his resilience it present is Chicago, and he is formerly of I'.oston, and is a Graduate of an east-. ern law school. He comes with the high est nuaiincations and recommendations and his selection is practically assured. Cut in Running Time. St. Paul, May 9. The Chicago Ft. Paul.

"Is this an unusual occurrence for Topeka?" asked a man from out of town this morning who was listening to an impromptu concert by the Cowboy uana nora Oklahoma City, was dodging automobiles and new cowcatchered street cars and waiting for the Sells Forepaugh circus parade before din ner ami expecting alter dinner to wit ness the parade of the Commercial Travelers. "It happens every day, now and then," said the reporter who was wait ing for the circus parade and who wish ed the Out of Town man to understand that Topekans do not get at al! exci ted with a continuous performance run ning over two days and two nights. "I've been watching for that circus parade for two hours," said that Out of Town Man. "Every time I hear a band 1 think it is the parade and I majce a run. I have sprinted from Fourth'street to Ninth street and back live times and the parade hasn't come yet. Each time tne music came from a band here lor the Knights of the Sample case." It was a strenuous morning but after a time, about 11:30 o'clock the circu.3 parade moved and the Out of Town Man saw the elephants and all. The circus band men didn't like it a bit. The visiting bands from Independ ence, Oklahoma City, Atchison, Ft. Ri ley, Salina and other towns made lita miserable for the circus players for the average run of show bands is not up to the standard of the Kansas band. But the visiting bands were considerate and kept quiet while the parade was passing. "I've seen the Mardi Gras at New Or leans," said the Out of Town Man, "and I have been to the Denver Mountain and Plain Festival but by gee, if you people in Topeka don't crowd the mour ners I'm off. I'm on the verge of nerv ous prostration. I can't get a moment's rest and I understand you will continue this for a few days next week." This was a real circus day. The usual number of Indians were in town and the farmers' wagons began arriv ing at daylight. When the circus pa rade was ready to start the entire line of march was crowded. It has been some time since the Sells Forepaugh circuses were here, but they have not been forgotten, and the old-time en thusiasts were on hand. The small bov was "going- to get into the big tent it I have to carry water to the elephants." and the Out of Town Man said, "1 haven't been to a circus for ten years, but I'm getting enthusiastic again and I'm toing to this one." The parade was a stupendous, start ling selection of wonders, making one of the most magnificent, monstrous and mammoth pageants that ever traversed the thoroughfares of the city. There were four bands, count them, four. The lions' and tigers' cages were open. The elephants 14, count them, 14 the great est herd of pachyderms ever brought together, shuffled along, making a nois-i with their feet swishing along the pave, rnents like a wagon makes being driven through a field of withered corn stalks. The man who rode the largest elephant had the brute trained to keen its ears I flapping. They beat half a dozen palm leaJ fans. anfl the man on the elephant was given a continuous fanning. The circus tents are pitched in the Douthitt tract where the Sells Downs tents were, but the S. F. foots cover a good deal more space. The street earn ""ere crowded this afternoon carrying the crowd to the show prounda. Kver. the new double tr"ok ca.r?. or some of thf m. were nressod into service owing to the Remands on the city railway.

ON A CAHKIAOE HIDE. TJ. C. T. Women Enjoy the Bights in Topeka. For an hour and a half this morning the ladies of the U. C. T. took in the sights of the town in a carriage ride contributed for their entertainment by the Topeka Commercial club. The sun shine contributed to make the ride as enjoyable as could be desired and the clouds refrained from threatening to spoil its success. Ed Johnson directed the formation of the procession at the National hotel, furnishing the drivers with the itinerary which had been care fully planned out in advance. Heedless to say the ladies were shown the best part of the town and were permitted to tide on paved streets all the way. Buggies, hacks and automobiles sent in by hospitable Topeka people for the use of the visiting- women were lined up in front of the National hotel at 9 o'clock and by lu minutes after the hour the parade was in progress. There were at least 75 carriages in the line headed by the big red Van Fleet automobile carrying eisht or ten people. Five or six other autos were pressed into ser vice. The "line of march" was down Kansas avenue to Ninth street, across the state house yard and down Harri son street to Huntoon. Coming back on Topeka avenue and Tyler street the drive led out Sixth street and through I'otwin. the prettiest of Topeka's sub urbs. From there it returned to Topeka avenue and turning north led down that street to Third. From there the return was made by Van Buren and Fifth streets to the National in time for the circus parade. 25,000 Men on Strike. Pittsburg. Pa., May 9.

STARTED A RUfi False Stories About the Fidelity Trust Company. Buffalo, N. T., May a. There was a run on the Fidelity Trust company to-ds.i-. The board of trustees of the institu tion has issued a statement, which first alludes to rumors current during the last week that there was a large de ficit in one of the banks, which says: "On Thursday and Friday the rumor took the form of a statement that the defalcation existed in the Fidelity Trust company of Buffalo. It was said th president had used J-lfO.OOO of the money. Another statement was that George I Williams had used IMOO.ooo of the mony of the company. The results thus far have been the withdiawal of small ac counts aKBresating possibly $100.iiu0. The. bank has offered a reward for informa tion disclosing the name of the person originating the rumor." The trustees pronounce the story to be absolutely false in every particular Neither Mr. Foreman nor Mr. Williams nor any other trustee or officer owes the bank a single dollar. There has been no defalcation to the extent of :i dollar, they say, and the comaany has $1.000. 000 available to provide against any demand. ANOTHER ONE GOES. Postmaster General Tajne Dis misses James Dower. Washington; May Postmaster Gen eral Payne today dismissed James Dower, a fireman employed in the post office department as a result of charges that Dower recently filed against Chief Engineer James O'Donnel and other su perior officers. Dower alleged tha-. a ring to govern promotions and other matters existed in the engine room and that improper contracts had been made. The charges were investigated by n postoflice inspector and the report does not sustain them. The postmaster gen eral today announced that Dower m making the "frivolous and scandalous charges giving them publicity and then failing utterly to sustain them is to tbe detriment of the service and subversive of all discipline, the discharge of Dower is ordered for the good of the service, The inspector's report says Dower is reported by Assistant Engineer Ander son to have incited or attempted to in cite other employes to acts of insubordi nation. "Ikiwer's complaint," the inspector con tinues, "contains statements continuing the declarations as to his dissatisfaction with las assignments and cases of insubor dination, a conduct demoralizing to the force. Mr. Power has permitted bis feel ing of resentment over his failure to secure a promotion to betray him into dissemin ating scandals and recklessly formulating chaises involving the official integrity r.L his superior officers. Some of his charg -s are grossly exaggerated, while other charges as. shown by the sworn statements of his associates are absolutely untrue." Postoffice Inspector Kosnes today took charge of the free delivery service.

Preparations are being made by the city to take possession of the city water works, and two preliminaries of import ance are now being arranged. The old South Topeka hydrant rental lawsuit, in which the company claims about $12,000 from the city, will be sub mitted to the court for final adjudica tion on an agreed statement of facts. The city attorney is now preparing the documents in this case. At the next council meeting, it Is likely that the city will vote to pay over to the water company the $30,000 which is lying in the city treasury, in settle ment of the city's water bill for the past two years. This action will be recommended by the city attorney. This will clear up the obstacles which it is in the power of the city to remove. and the only thing left will be to set- tie upon a plan of management for the water works, and await the time when the company is prepared to give the city a perfect title to the property. The payment of the $30,000 to the wa ter company has been delayed simply as a matter of policy, in view of the at titude which the city has taken relative to the franchise of the water company. The city has claimed that the com pany had no right to exist in Topeka, and therefore should not be recognized by the payment of any money to iu The fact that the city owes the money, is, however, not denied, and the money is in the city treasury to pay. whenever it is deemed the wisest policy to do so. City Attorney fepencer said today: "I can see no reason why the city should not pay over this money, espec ially if the water company is willing to enter into a stipulation, as they say they are, that the payment shall in no way prejudice the city's interests." One ot the most important matters for the council to determine is the form of management to be adopted for the plant, and this is a question which has not been much considered. The senti ment is strongly in favor of an abso lutely non-partisan control. SO SMALLPOX HERE. Report About Sells Forepaugh Show tTnfbunded. City Physician Storrs "investigated" the Sells-Forepaugh circus today, to see whether there was any smallpox in it. The "investigation" was a very tunny affair. Instead of going himself, he sent San itary Sergeant C. L. Vanderpool, who doesn't claim to know anything about the physician business. Mr. Vanderpool is hired to keep the records of the liQOlh it jnortivioTit xi-Kii'V, fttnrro T-,n't 0t anybody see Nevertneiess Nevertneiess, Storrs sent Vander pool down to the circus train early this morning and had him "examine" each of the 700 employes for traces of small pox. The whole 700, or as many of them as happened to be handy, were lined up by the management of the show, and passed in review before Mr. Vanderpool, who didn't observe that any of them were afflicted with small pox, and so reported to Storrs. There upon Storrs decided that the show could exhibit in Topeka. There is probably no smallpox among the circus employs, for the show couldn't afford to let the disease get a foothold. But the farce of an "exam ination" which Storrs prescribed seems to be characteristic of the present sys tem of handling contagious diseases in Topeka. Marshall's BancSunday.

HOPKINS. Housa of Well Known Detective I Burglarized. The burglars who attempted to rob Detective Al Honklns of his worldly wealth last night must have a streak of humor in their systems. Hopkins has recently moved to 3i1 Kast Kighth street. Last night, as usual, Hopkins and son, merchant policemen, were out rattling doors. Mrs. and Miss Hopkins were away on a visit, and the house was keeiiing itself. Shortly after 12 o'clock neighbors heard a noise in the house, and surmised that Mr. Hcnki.is had returned for a midnight lunch, but such was not the case. When he dia return at 4 o'clock he found the gas burning, the back door standing open, and a state of general "dishabele" spread over the premises. Dresser drawers had been removed and the contents dumped on the floor witliout any regard for classification. But there is nothing missing, at least the family has not yet missed anything. Hopkin. says it was very unkind of the burglars to leave the light burning and run up a gas bill on him. The thieves or thief removed the "clue" which Hopkins needs for theip capture. KOKTH TOPEKA.

Prices for the engagement of James K. Hackett in "The Crisis" at the New Crawford Thursday night are an nounced today, and the J2 scale pre vails. This is the first time $2 has been charged here since the visit of Mrs. Fiske. Alice Neilsen and many attrac tions in the past have played here, however, at this figure. Hackett is now playing at $2 every where. Even at the Grand in Kansas City, a $1 house, not only box seats but part of the first floor will be $2 when the matinee favorite begins his season there May 17. Ordinarily the Kansas City theater cuts slightly under the prices of some of the same attractions playing in the one night stands as a show is not under nearly so great ex pense where it plays in the same house for a week as where it travels through the one night towns. In the case of Hackett the prices in the towns and the big cities are the same. "I had an awful argument to get the Kansas City prices above $1.50," said James Hutton, Mr. Hackett's business representative, who was here yesterday. "Not that the managers of the Grand thought Hackett wasn't worth it. but a city house is fearful of increasing the prices at any time lest it discourage the regular clientele of the theater. "Among the men road stars there are three recognized $2 men Hackett, Goodwin and Sothern. Of course, I am speaking of what they get outside of New York, as New York pays f for most anything. Mr. Hackett eimply will not play under the Z scale, and he is right- Why we are carrying 40 peo ple did you ever hear of the like for a dramatic company? We have two electricians, two property men and two carpenters, and carry even our trees something you never saw a company do here before. "How about Marsfleld as a ?2 star?" "Why, he is a $2.50 man. He gets that price because of his great, expensive spectacles." Only the front part of the lower floor and box seats have been put to $2, the rear lower floor being $1.50, and the first and second balcony prices being the same as for Henrietta Crosman last night. WILL BUILD IT. New Garbage Company Promises to Frect a New Plant. While the new garbage company is slow about beginning work under its new contract, a letter has been received from the Boston headquarters of the firm which states emphatically tnat tne plant will be constructed here within the time limit, which is October 1. The letter Is as follows: "Mr. John V. Abrahams, Topeka, Kas.; "Replying to your favor of the 20th Inst, we beg to say that we have not replied before this simply because we have been waiting to fix definitely a date for our Mr. Van Nest, who is at present with us. When he comes he will be fully equipped to take up this matter in earnest and wdthout further delay. You need have no fear of our giving up this proposition. We shall put it through, and will probably land it on time in accordance with the contract, unless the town of Topeka is determined to hinder us. "AMERICAN UNDERWRITING CO." The "desiccating company" which is at present attending to the work of dis posing of dead animals and garbage in this city, has removed its base of oper ations from the desiccating: plant in North Topeka to the old crematory jusc across the river from its uresent loca tion. Instead of trying to boil up the dead animals and convert them into fer tilizers, or dumping them over the rivet bank, as has been done, the dead ani mals are now being burned up, together with solid matter. Liquids are sewered out into the river, as has been done evei since the city abandoned the old city dum.i W. S. Osborn, manager of the com pany, said today: "We moved over to the old crematory because we believed we could do better work there than at the desiccating plant. We can now dis pose of dead animals and garbage in a more effective manner than we could before. However, this arrangement is merely a temporary makeshift. It is the best we can do until the new plant is built." City Physician W. T. Storrs did not even know that the company was usinp. the old cremators, and says he will "have to investigate." Smallpox is said to h;iye broken out afresh in the city, and it might be a good plan for the city physician to "investigate" this too. while he is in the business. The new city physician's policy of keeping secret the sanitary condition of Topeka may be due to his ignorance of what that condition is. GO WEN LOCK IS PRESIDENT. Clay Center Man at Head of Kansas Opticians. At the Copeland hotel, the Kansas Association" of Opticians held its annuaf convention Friday. Sessions were held morning, afternoon and evening.

The Topeka Lawrence Kansas City Electric Rail way company, organized November S, 1901, under the laws of Oklahoma, yes terday made deals in Kansas City, Kn. for the placing of its stocks and bonds on the eastern market and made a con tract for the construction of an electric line from Kansas City, Kan., to Topeka. The papers were filed for record with the register of deeds of Wyandotte county. Agreements were made between T. S. Saiathiel, president of the road, and E. L. Hayes Co.. and A. Macro bert Irving, brokers of New York, in which the road says that it owns stock valued at 2. millions dollars and bonds valued at the same amount. Hayes Co. are to be allowed -k per cent com mission and Irving o per cent commis sion and are each given an option of 60 days in which to place the stocks and bonds. In a contract signed with Irving, the broker agrees to purchase or find a pur chaser for IVi million dollars of the first mortgage gofd bonds of the road, to be secured by first mortgage trust deeds on property and franchises,, at an agreed price ot cents, a pajmeoL ui 10 per cent of the purchase price of the bonds to be made to the trustee under the mortgage on or before 60 days after the road complies with the condition of the contract. Arrangements are made for the pay ment of the rest of the tonds and Irv ing has a sixty days' option. Irving is given a contract for the construction and equipment of the electric road, ac cording to the plans of the company si engineers, including the roadbed, track, overhead construction and power houses. The road agrees to pay Irving $1,275,000 for the construction, he to pay contract obligations to E. L Hayes Co. and to T. S. Saiathiel and his associates. W mv of. construction is to begin within sixty days after the first payment is made on the bonds. The contracts were signed by T. S. Saiathiel, president of the road, and were filed by Irving. The road is not the enterprise which W. E. Winner is promoting. His- rond is the Kansas City, Lawrence Topeku Electric Railwav company. Mr. Winner said last night that there had been nin different roads chartered to build elec tric lines from Kansas City to Tcpeka He incorporated one and bought four others. This is the road that has secured a right of way to Yinewood Park, though it is claimed that no deal has yet been made to enter the city over the Vine wod lia. WAS UNPRECEDENTED.

It isn't often the Auditorium floor is put in service for the pastime of danc ing but that is not because the parquet floor is not admirably adapted to that use. It proved a little small for the Traveling Men's ball Friday night but that was only because the ball was giv en on such large proportions. Two hun dred couples entered the grand march and there were more waiting on the "side lines." Had it not been for the injunction not to engine dances ahead after the fifth dance some of those who did not eet on the floor at first might not have had an opportunity to dance at all. Only the men who knew the pass word were admitted to the first floor of the Auditorium. These were accom- THEY "TOOK IN" THE TOWN, panied by their ladies, a good many of them from out of town. A lot of Topeka girls, however, danced during the even ing. The hall was well decorated with the blue, white and gold colors of the traveling men. On the stage tables were set for serving ices while a bank of palms at the south end surrounded Steinberg's orchestra. The crowd in the balcony was com paratively small. Tickets had been dis tributed gratis among the members of the Topeka Elks lodge, the Commercial club and the city officers but only a few of them were put to use. All day Fri day there was a clamoring demand for them on the jjart of the general public THE TRAVELING MAN AND HIS BOX. but the tickets were gone. However, those who applied at the gallery doors last evening found little difficulty in gaining admission whether provided with the pasteboards or not. It wis considerable fun, for a while at least, to watch the dancers but the crowd of spectators upstairs came and went all through the evening. Roses were in yreat demand yester day. The ladies wanted them to wear to the reception in the governor's man sion and for the ball last night and the run on the green houses here was at most unprecedented. Arrangements had been made ahead for roses for the ball and there was a liberal abundance of them and carnations on the floor. The travelers saw to it that every woman oo the floor was supplied. There were but five dances on the programme. But after the fifth dances were called off from the orchestra stand until the wee small hours. The dance card was a very rNwt affair with the picture of a girl's head, by Albert T. Reid, on the cover. The names of tha ball committee appeared on the inside. The programme was: Grand march Regetta Waltz Artist Life Two step Hiawath Quadrille A Saliu v'uitz La Espanola Two step Southern Smiles HE 13 THE FUNNY MAN.

Mailloux was in charge when the wa gon reached the State Journal office with two drummers from the Salina band in the lead. The wagon halted and Mailloux auctioned off the entire outfit including the driver. MR. MAILLOUX SELLING HIS "COACHMAN" AT AUCTION, "Do you want a coachman?" he shouted. "He is young and limber, will stand without hitching, has a magnifi cent head of enchanting eyes and will attract all the ladies! How much am I offered?" "Five dollars? Thank you, lady," and he bowed to a second story window. "Will somebody ma,ke it seven?" 'Thank you. Tea? Thanks. Ah, 14. Sixteen? "Won't somebody give more than 16? Is 16 all I am offered? Why! It costs 35 to make 'em like that. Well, here he goes to the State Journal." And the wagon drove off down the street. THERE ARE SOKE SPOTS. XT. C. T. Members Newly Initiated Wearing Them. In or.e of the committee rooms at Security hall yesterday afternoon were piled a mixture of Ions, black robes, masks and boxing gloves. Out in their hotels somewhere fourteen newly made members of the United Commercial Travelers were caressing sore spots and repeating to themselves passwords and high signs thsihaii been impressed upon their memories by the strenuous process of the lodge "initiation." The initiation was sunerintended by the members of the Tooeka council. Those who took the initiation were; Atchison council. Harry O. Peterson; Salina, Charles E. Stacey, A. T. Car- hart; Toneka, L.

SEEN BY THE WAY. Notes About the Traveling Men Now in Topeka. By Friday night the various dele gations attending the grand council meeting of the U. C. T. were fairly well settled in the hotels about town. There are about 1,400 people altogether, eight hundred men and five or six hun dred women. The Emporia delegation is established at the Copeland hotel and has a banner flung out across the street showing their whereabouts. There are about sixty from the Emporia council. The Fort Riley band and part of the Concordia people are at the Fifth avenue, the Atchison and Oklahoma city crowds are at the Oriental, Inde pendence at the Oxford, Salina at the Dutton ho.ise. A lot of delegates have scattered about to suit themselves. The reception for the women attend ng the grand council meeting held at the Governor's mansion yesterday af ternoon was successful in every re spect. Besides all the visiting weimen a lot of Topeka women took advan tage of the reception to take a look at the interior of the establishment. The city railway had heavy business on the West Eighth street line between half 1 past two and five o'clock. A very at tractive display of clothing character ized the occasion. The house was thrown open for the visitors at 2:30 and they were permitted to look it over from cellar to garret. The Salina band was stationed in the parking on the north side of the yard while the Fort Riley band played inside. All day yesterday members of the local entertainment committee were being worried by towns people who wanted to get tickets for the .ball in the auditorium. Ail the tickets had been given out and it looked as though the auditorium balcony would be full. But there weren't over five hundred people in the balcony all the evening. Sunday afternoon the Gideons, the re ligious organization whose membership is recruited from the ranks of com mercial travelers, will hold a meeting in the auditorium. There are two or three hundred members of the society in Topeka at the present time and the gathering will probably be fairly well attended. The Gideons are a strong or- jganization of quiet Christian workers. I As the members ply their business af i fairs they drop a word of Christian fei- lowship here and there and accomplish V. jr J rjSt!- much good. With the sunny disposition of the traveling man the Gideon is a very cheerful Christian indeed. "Bring a corkscrew up with you. Be sure now, don't forget the corkscrew." At the above injunction a porter in one of the hotels scurried off to do the bidding of one of the traveling men who was Just getting settled in his room. There is no occasion to add that the corkscrew was produced in very good time and there was no hitch m serving refreshments at the little party that was going on above stairs. The grade of cigars smoked at th grand council meeting of the United Commercial Travelers is about fifty points higher than those commonly served at conventions. According to tne experience of the smokers the travelers stand head and shoulders above every other organization. If a traveling man smokes at all he knows good tobacco and is the last to force any other kind upon the man he would call his friend. THE OFFICIAL POEM. Famous Poem by the Late John B Gibbs, The meeting of the traveling men in Toneka brings to mind the poem "The Traveling Man," written by the late John D. Gibbs, of Topeka. Mr. Gibbs was one of the most widely known ami popular cigar salesmen in the west. He was unusually successful. He died rather suddenly in Kansas City, March 3, 18S3, of pneumonia. In many a hotel and in the wallets of many a traveling man will be found the following poern, written by Gibbs a year or so before his death: THE TRAVELING MAN. Could I drink of the nectar the gods only can, I would fill up the glass to the brim; And drink the success of the traveling man And the house represented, by him. And could I but tincture this glorious draught Wiih his smiles as I think of him then. And the jokes he has told and the laughs he has laughed. I would fill up the goblet again And drink to the sweetheart who bade him good bye With a tenderness thrilling in this Very hour, as he thinks of the tear in her eve That saddened the sweet of her kiss. To her. the truest of hearts and fairest of hands. I would drink with all serious prayers. Since the heart she must trust is a travel man's And as warm as the ulster he wears. I would drink to the wife, with the babe on her knee. Who awaits his returning in vain, And breaks his brief letters so trem ulously. And reads them again and again. I would drink to the feeble old mother, who sits Bv the warm fireside of her son. And murmurs and weeps o'er the stock ings she knits. As she thinks of the wandering one. I would drink to the strangers and friends Who have met him with smiles and good cheer; To the welcoming hands that good fellows extend. To the wayfarer journeying here. And at last, when he turns from his earthlv abode And pavs the last fare that he can Mine host of the inn at the end of the road. Will welcome the traveling man. John E). Gibbs. VERDICT FOR $12,500.

When the papers were handed in it was found that one of the pupils- had tippar cntly regarded the sentences as connected in some subtle manner, for his answer was: "The hen didn't done it; God done it."

(Continued from First Page.) ous absence of Frederick Dumont Smith from the councils of the new league Friday. It has been talked that there is to be no fight on Morton Albaugh. as state chairman and that in return D. W. Mulvane shall be reelected national committeeman without opposition. Some of Mr. Mulvane's friends have been pre dicting that this will be the outcome of the state convention next spring to elect delegates to the Republican national convention. Mulvane's enemies say they do not really care for the job anyway, as national committeeman does not amount to much when the state has two Republican senators, because the senators control the federal patronage anyway. In the days when the state had two Populist senators the national com mitteeman controlled the federal pat ronage and was an important officer. It is pretty certain that the Republi can national commmittee will send no campaign funds into Kansas next year for disbursement, so the national com mitteeman will have nothing to say in the financial line, either. If the: sta'e were likely to be close the national committee would probably expend con siderable money in the state, but it is absolutely sure to go for Roosevelt so the expenditure of campaign fund's would be useless. The Wichita Eagle a few days ago contained the following: "Rocoevelt did the baby act at Sharon Springs. He said the babies woald want to talk about it when they grew up." All of which is a misstatement, and thereby hangs a tale. The Eagle is honest enough in making the assertion, but it was founded upon a "fake" In terview with the president, written by a Kansas City reporter of the Kansas City Journal and that, too, after the reporter in question had absolutely stated to the president that he had not and would not write such an interview. The Kansas City paper in question seems to make a specialty of fake in terviews with the president. On the morning after President Roosevelt passed through Kansas City it publish ed an alleged authorized statement frcm him severely criticising St. Louis for the treatment which it gave his party. The statement was such a gross one that the president felt called upon to have his secretary give out an au thoritative denial that such a sentiment was ever uttered by the president. The denial was published by the paper to which it was directed, but in the face of that the paper had the bad taste to insist that thf president did say what was attributed to him. thereby virtual ly saying that he falsified in denying In addition to that the same capet sent a local reporter from Kansas I ltj to report the president's Sunday at Sha ron Springs. The president's trip through Kansas was renorted for thi paper in question by Charles M. Har ger. of Abilene, one of the best news paper men in Kansas, and if Mr. Hat. ger had been allowed also to write the report of the Sunday at Sharon Springs there would have been no misrepresen tation of the president. The reporter sent from Kansas City, instead of accepting the arrangements prepared by the people of Sharon Springs for the benefit of the visiting newspaper men, started out for himself. He even went so far as to insist on sit ting in the pulpit with the ministers during the services on Sunday morn ing. He was somewhat clerical in ap pearance, and these two facts led Pres ident Roosevelt to suppose that he was a minister. During the afternoon th-" president sent for Dr. Carter in order to thank him for his sermon. During the interview between the two the Kan sas Citv renorter stood by and listened. and the president, supposing him to be a brother minister or ur. carter s. in cluded him in his remarks. And it was these remarks which the reporter twist ed into an alleged interview. Some ot the remarks which were put into the resident s mouth were so utterly for eign to him that they sound ridiculous. For instance, he is quoted as turning to the reporter and saying. "I do hope the Journal will print this." In connection with the informal reception which the president held for the people in front of the little church the reporter in cuesticu published the following direct quotation from the president: 'I like them. I am so glad vou came. he said, abruptly stopping his reception i at the church door to address The Jour nal correspondent, who stood on his left. 'I am so glad you came, because l want to leave a word or two behind me about these hardv DeoDle. Look at them. No wonder Americans are proud. Here, here, don't go past me with a baby without letting me shake its hand. It is a pity we presidents are not more imposing looking men." and in this hap py strain he ran on.' Some of these remarks are so abso lutely foreign to President Roosevelt that a denial that he uttered them is unnecessary. The Kansas City reporter could not heln telling of the "hot interview" that he had written with the president, and the report reached the ears of President Roosevelt himself. Ordinarily sucn a thing would be above the notice of a president, but in view of the experience of the day before it was deemed best by the president's friends to head off a rep etition of the fake interview business, and the Kansas City reporter was sent for and taken to see the president him self by Senator Long. He is said to net only have denied any interview with the president, but as saying further, "I have been too lonr in the newspaper business to do such a thing I know too much of the ethics of the profession. I have never interviewed either a presi dent or a governor." And yet in the face of this statement the interview appeared not only in the Kansas City paper in question, but wi3 also telegraphed to the Denver News. And now, in view of the repeated fake interviews published with the president, some of his friends are wondering if tr.e Kansas City paper in question has not joined the trust influences of the east in fight Roosveit. There can be no doubt of the attitude! of Kansas towards President Roosevelt. Not only is the Republican party prac tically solid for him, but many Demo crats and Populists are also for him. Charles Beebe, city editor of the Salina Evening Journal, is in Topeka tod.iy, and in speaking of the president's re cent tour through Kansas and its effect in his part of the state he said: "It is wonderful the hold which Roosevelt has upon the people of all parties. In Saline county many life long Democrats, men who have been tha stand-bys in the party for years, are now for Roosevelt. They believe that ha is just the right kind of a president." MAKE RIG GAIN.

:OPEKA STATE JOUIINAL, SATURDAY EVENING. MAT 9, 1003. TUEATOIGAL HEUS James K. Hackett Here Thurs day in "The Crisis." Will Flay Leading Character of Stephen IJrice." PLAY'S MUST SEASON. Produced for the First Time at Pittsburg in March. Charlotte Walker Takes Part of Virginia Carrel." AT TH10 CRAWFORD. James K. Hackett, Thursday. Whn a story has attained the Rreat success achieved by Winston Churchill's book, "ThP Crisis," which has the rec ord of having- ben road by more than half a. million r?(,ple, it is in this day a Bubjfct of intPrest to theatrical rnan- 3ima uarvei ngers. who are always looking for novelties. Therefore when James K. Hackett set about attempting to secure the author's own dramatization of this bonk, there was naturally a strong com petition against him. That he secured It in spite of all opposition, and that it proved a great success upon its repre sentation, is now a. matter of theatrical history. He ave its first performance last March in I'ittsburg, followed It with a marvf lotis engagement in St. I'Uis and a. few principal cities, and then put it aside as an undoubted cer tainty for the present season. This is what he, presents here at the New Crawford next Thursday nicht with nil the attractive appurtenances of its earlier production. All doubt as to the worth of the play or the ability of thi star was surely out of the question, as was further proved at the opening ot the present season, when in Philadel phia, Kuffalo, a return engagement in I" f'" r" Of Apprehension of Sudden Death. Twenty Tears of Heart Disease. Dr. Miles' Heart Cure Cured Me. I. Miles' Heart Cure cures heart disease. Tt has positively no equal in that regard. The fluttering, palpitation and heart pains readily disappear before its magic influence; the shortness of breath, the frightful smother ing spells vanish after a short course of treat ment; the pulse beats become stror-u and regular, the circulation is improved so that the veins are charged with healthy, pure, lite giving blood carrying strength and heaith to every nerve and muscle and re placing the dead tiisue with solid flesh. "For eighteen years I suffered from heart trouble. The least excitement caused se vere fluttering and palpitation and at night smothering soeils would frequently cause me to sit up in bed for breath, iseside tne fre quent physical pains 1 wis constantly in an agony ot apprehension lest it might bring about mv sudden end. I began taking Dr. Miles' Heart Cure and experienced almost immediate relief from my former disagree able svmptoms.

The statement that there will be no other opportunity to witness the combination of these attractive ele ments should make the sale for this en gagement a large one. A most interesting fact regarding the production last spring of Winston Churchill's play is that In sr.Ue Gf the intensely depicted scenes of the civil war, its motives and its causes, which naturally must show the south to be in the wrong-, the play was enthusiastical ly received and applauded throughout a tour of several weeks in the heart of the late confederacy, and return dates are requested from everywhere In that section of the country. The reason was said to be that never before had any play been offered in which the senti ments of both parties were so frankly and fairly stated, and the participants upon both sides were represented by ladies and gentlemen. The northern sentiments of the play were applauded as freely as were those of southern bias, and mention of the names of Abraham Lincoln and Generals Grant and Sherman were loudly cheered. This was gratifying testimony to Mr. Hackett that the attractiveness of his play was not limited to any section of our broad land, as also, incidentally, how thoroughly- the sentiment of the Sur.nv South had become national and I shed all sectionalism.

Penfield writing to the New York Mail and Express says: There is talk of a "Dickens revival'.' in the dramatic, programme for next year. i'ehaps this may really amount to Eomeining.out men 1 Dickens always t

1 ciups upaooui. orice -O in so ofien. The f announcement i s made that 'Oliver Twist" will be. put on at an Eighth aveniie playhouse next week. Proba bly it will be pret tv well done too Nance O'Neil. but the atmosphere that gave the play the interest it had for me when I saw it 2i.i years ago will be lacking. "Atmosphere" is an impalpable entity that one can feel and vet not see. It applies to all artistic works. The paint er and the poet share the use of the term with the actor. The atmosphere which surrounded this production oF "Oliver Twist" that I refer to, was un mistakable. It was at the old London Theater that I beheld this realistic pic ture drawn by Dickens, and "touched up" by the dramatist. Another lad and myself were living in an attic room on Stuyvesant street. There was one dor mer window in the apartment, and we often bumped our heads against the whitewashed ceilings. A hundred yrds away was the Bowery then a far live lier thoroughfare than it is now. It sparkled at night with many lights; the elevated road was still something of a curiosity; the little horse cars were crowded all the time, and the side walks were thronged with all descrip tions of humanity sailors, peddlers, ad venturers, countrymen and even wo men, who smoked cigarettes as they strolled along the thoroughfare. One nisht we read the announcement regarding the play, which said that it would be performed exactly as it had been done in London the same season, and that several of the actors in the Knglish production would appear in this one. We immediately repaired to a "maksmanship parlor," where one of the partners also conducted a small ticket selling business, and left an order for two gallery tickets. We could have afforded better seats had we wished, aa we could have afforded a more pre tentious place of residence, but that was not our idea of "bohemian life" in New York. A few nights after we called for our "bill board tickets," as they were technically known being admissions handed out in exchange for the display of posters and sold at a great reduction by the thrifty shopkeepers. These tick ets cost us 15 cents apiece. We took our places in the gallery, which was a seething mass of human beings most ly young men and boys, with but a sprinkling of girls and women. The air was heavy with the odor of peanuts and tobacco, and from where we sat the stage seemed far away. Never have I seen such a performance at any theater es that one of "Oliver ft 'H Vrl 4 Witch-Hazel 1J jf.. L" few" 'iu''?'. Best for itopping hair from falling out Best for ihampoo.

Bold everywhere. Price 15 cent. Twist." There was no need to caution silence among the auditors the house was still as death while the curtain was up. Every move the actors made was followed with the closest attention by the spectators, and no audible demon stration was made, except when "Bill Sikes" struck down "Nancy," and the blood oozed from her mouth. Then there was a long sigh from the more im pressionable, but approval or criticism of the play was left till the Intermis sions, when Babel ensued. It seems to me, as I recall this per formance, that it was a fairly good one. The actors appeared to feel that their counterparts in real life were numerous among the audience. "Oliver" was play ed by a weazened man who looked the part, and "Bill Sikes" was a great hulk ing ruffian, who was very likely a repro bate in his daily existence. "Nancy" and "Fagin" and the latter's scholars were all true types, as I recall them, and I can remember, as though it were yester day, that I could not but admire the deftness of the young boys whose first lesson in the art of picking pockets was the purloining of the "wipes" of their companions. Even "Bill Sikes' bull dog was as ugly a, creature as I ever re member to have seen. We came away from the London that night with sleepless eyes. For days that spectacle was in my mind. "Oliver's" cries rang in my ears. I could hear the dull sound which the club made as "Bill" struck down "Nancy." We did not go out alone after that at night for some time, for It seemed to us that we were in the midst o the atmosphere which Dickens transferred to his book. And as I remember the Bowery iti those days, I really believe we were literally in it, and not on the edge. Four or five years ago I again saw "Oliver Twist" at the Murray Hill. Mc Kee Rankin played "Bill Sikes" and, Nance O'Neil was "Nancy." It was an excellent performance, too, but if lack ed atmosphere. I took a girl friend of mine to see this production. We sat lh the parquet, and all around .us was an audience which was quiet and well dressed. The gallery gods were in evi dence, of course. They encouraged the actors audibly, and were not slow to show their dislike of the brutality of "Bill" for "Nancy." But "Oliver" did not arouse the pitying applause that should have been his by right, and while the play was melodramatic and horrible it did not seem the dark trag edy that was enacted on the stage of the London, where it was a faithful mirror of episodes in the lives of those who watched it from the footlights. CHARLES FROHMAN'S START. A Traveling Salesman Furnished the First $9,000 Necessary. How Charles Frohman got "his real start" as a theatrical manager is thus told in the Cincinnati Enquirer. Inci dentally some lisht is thrown on the early history of several other managers of prominence. Quite a collection of managers In the office of the Grand the other evening in dulged in theatrical reminiscences. In the party were E. D. Stair, manager in the popular price field; Gustav Froh man. who is looking: after the business of William Faversham's tour; John Havlin, the-owner of half a dozen thea ters, and Manager Harry Kainforth. Nearly all of them started in the busi ness about the same time. John Hav lin began his career as an assistant treasurer, while his partner, Mr. Stair, drifted from the nrinter s case to re porting and then to a theatrical posi tion. Gustav Frohman, perhaps, the longest in harness, began his experience as the manager of a negro minstrel tioupe, and Harry Rainforth grew up on the stage, his first start being as an actor. All have climbed up to responsi ble positions and have amassed no small amount of this world's goods. Mr. Frohman told the story of another business partner of Stair's, A. L. Wil bur, and how he got into the theatrical business. It was way back in the early '70s, and Frohman was piloting the Cal lender minstrels through the country. At Vicksburg, Miss., the idea of pre senting a troupe of negro performers al most precipitated a riot. "I was on the door," said Frohman, "and was having a siege of it when a little drummer I had met several times stepped up to me and Inquired if I need ed any help. Well, we got out of that scrape all right, but it left a warm spot in my heart for the drug salesman who had offered to come to the rescue. That was A. L. Wilbur, and when I met him again he told me he was anxious to in vest in the theatrical business, as he had made and saved a snug little sum.

In those days It was not an easy life, and many a time in traveling I had to sleep in the freight cars with the ebon-hued performers. The next season we got back into New York with a little money, and Charles beean to branch out some, and the first money we operated on any extensive scale was about $9,000 that Wilbur put up for a share of the show. iTIiat was the real start of Charles Frohman's managerial career, and in a measure "Wilbur was identified with it. Ha afterward drifted into the business on his own account and lost his snus savings, but he perse vered and deserves all of his subsequent success and fortune." "LAZAEEE'S" BIG SPEECH. Impassioned Monologue Which. Otis Skinner Delivers in His New Play. Here is Otis Skinner's "big speech" In "Lazarre" the long and Impassioned monologue in which Lazarre, the sup posed "lost Dauphin" and son of Louia A. v i and Marie Antoinette, recalls the davs of the Heign of Terror: I remember a. room, dirty, hor rible, where rata squeaked in the corner. A man used to come with my food. Simon. That was his name W -f-yes, Simon. 'Twaa Otis Skmner. and made me drink things that set my brain on fire. Once he tried to make me sing a vile song. "Sing, little Capet," he said, and I told him that was net my name that I was ah, Louis Charles de Bourbon. Then he struck me here, a scar is there now, is t not? There is a great storm of wind and thunder. I wake in my bed not my orison bed. My mother stands beside me. Men and women are yellins be neath the window. "Death to the Aus trian." "Death to to Marie An toinette." "Come out," they cried. The windows are open: she goes to the bal cony and the beasts howl louder. She takes me with her: my sister, too, is there. We are terrified clins to hei. but she does not tremble. "Long live the aueen." some one cries, and the whole crowd shuts. "Long live the eiueen." They did not harm me they put us in a carriage: the rain pours down, but they sing. We went to Paris; through a palace. It is clear now the rabble surround us. Torches are in their hands they dance and shriek. We hear the sound of shots and falling doors. In th courtyard boys are tossing the heads of murdered soldiers in the air. Now they are coming up up the stairway with a roar like tieers: they are at thv duor. Crash it is off its hins-es and. hell rushes in on us. They are drunk, they are mad. One bears a woman's ghastly head on a pin, another snatche off his red cap and thrusts It on my father's face, hut he faces them without fear; all is blood all Is red. A sotted hag sprawls on my mother's bed. Oh, the horrors of it. We escape to a secret passage from the palace. We ate cap. tured, brought back, thrown into prison and my mother's golden hair is white as snow. We hear the furious ringing- of bells Red terror Is everywhere. My father la tided in court like a. thief and must die In the prison my mother sews and reads to my sister and me, It is night day comes thousands of troops are march ing past, and again the bells of Paris are a-clang.

He was conducted to his seat at the royal table, and all seemed to be going on well. After the second course the kaiser sutfrlenly turned to the professor and 'said: I should like to hear something from you about the cause ot the pnosjmorescence on tne sea."

The German govern ment regards the Turko-Bulgarian situ ation as being grave, but responsible omcials say that if a collision can be staved oil through the summer more sober counsels can get a hearing; in tht winter when military action is impos sible. Regarding- the mutual recrimination of Turkey and Bulgaria in imputing bellicose purposes, the officials here say Tut kr certainl.- can not wish for wai, because she is unable to bear the ex pense and knows beforehand that the powers would not permit territorial ex pansion as a result of victory. It ia also believed' that Bulgaria, while show ing a deplorably weak attitude towards the revolutionary elements, does not de sire war. The powers have made rep resentations to Sori.i emphasizing- the possibility of allowing Bulgaria to rea lize the fundamental aims of its policy, name;.-, the accuisition of part of Mac edonia. The iiowers know that the partition of Macedonia in favor of Bul garia would cause Greece, Servia and other countries to raise claims for Turk ish territory; hence the powers ar; unitedly determined not to permit anv change in the status quo. On the other hand, the reforms in Macedonia, which have unfortunately been suspended through the outbreaks of violence at Salonica. must be carried out. and Austria-Hungary and Russia, which ar concerned, will see. through their con suls t.'iat they are carried out. It is understood that the powers in their l epresentations at Sofia reproach ing the Bulgarian cabinet with showing emviiess towara the revolutions point ed out the necessity for a more energet ic attitude. In addition to the communica'Io -,s made to the government at Sofia the powers have made representations at Constantinople which have convinced Turkey of the hopelessness of deriving any territorial or pecuniary advantage from attacking Bulgaria. Nevertheless dancer lies in the fact mat luihisn ana liuiganan troops are facing each other on Ue frontier and in proximity to it, rendering a more or less accidental collision possible, which could easily grow into uncontrollable dimen sions. The situation therefore is hay ing a depressing effect on the German bourses, is pi eventing any operations on a large scale. WHO HIT mi. S HEARD? The Wm. Patterson Mystery Is Re produced in Topeka. "Who hit Mr. Thomas Sheard? Did "Dick" Hodgins? If so, why so; if not, why not? That is the kind of proposition Judge Clad Hamilton had to dissect, vivisect and classify- in police court last night. It is a case with a thick layer of mys tery attached. The case of the late 'William Patterson is not in it. One thing the court discovered for sure, that was that a dog had passed into the sweet subsequently. Here is a synopsis of the case: Thurs day night at about 10:15 Mr. Sheard was wending his way homeward on West Sixth avenue. As he passed a house between Harrison street and Topeka avenue, about the centre of the block, two small dogs, in manner gay, ran out and lay siege to him. Then, with a ioui swipe and his trusty umbrella, Mr. Sheard hit one of the ki-oodles a swat which killed him dead. Then he walked on, shy one dog to contend with. But he reckoned not of the possible owner of the canine. A Man, who had been sitting on the porch of the house whence emenated the dogs, came swift ly down the pike after Mr. Sheard. "Why did you kill that dog?" he re marked in a close buckled voice. r "If you keep your dogs off me they won't get hurt," responded Mr. Sheard in a similar manner. Whereupon, and without further converse. Mr. Man soaked Mr. Sheard in the neck, and fol lowed it with three just like it. That was all. Not quite. Mr. Sheard "recog nized" Mr. Man as It. F. Hodgins. So he came around next day and Hod gins was arrested by telephone without giving him) a chance to explain. At 4:3w by the clock. Mr. Hodgins and his at torney Eugene Hagan, appeared. So did Sheard. Then Mr. ITrmy got in his work. He had Mr. Sheard take the stand and tell all about it, including his identification of Hudgins, whom he had known for IS years, and could not mistake for some one else. Then Attorney Hagan took charge. He got Mr. Sheard to admit that he had hit the dog, the dog whose demise followed closely. Then he tried to get Mr. Sheard to say that he might have been mistaken in the man. Noth ing doing there. Then he proved by two witnesses that Hodgins was at the Topeka Club busily engaged in busi ness at the time of the catastrophe to th dog and Mr. Sheard. Then "Dick' took a solemn oath that all his dogs were still alive, and that he had not poked Mr. Sheard in the jugular for kill ing one of them. There was nothing left for the court to do. but discharge Mr. Hodgins. Then Attorney Hagan spoke up and said that, perchance Mr. Sheard saw fit to offer a reward suf ficiently large to pay the fine of the real culprit, he might, maybe, perhaps, name the guilty man. As the case now stands Mr. Sheard is up against it, as far as getting jus tice is concerned. He identified Mr. Hodgins as the "swatter," and himself MAKING SUNSHINE. It Is Often Found in Pure Pood. The improper selection of food drives many a healthy person into the depths of despairing illness. Indeed most sick ness comes from the wrong food and just so surely as that is the case right food will make the sun shine once more. An old veteran of Newburyport, Mass. says: "In October, 1900, I was taken sick and went to bed, losing 47 pounds in about fiO days. I had doctor after doctor but all food hurt me so'l had to almost live on magnesia and soda. All solid food distressed me so water would run out of my mouth in little streams. "I had terrible night sweats and my doctor finally said I had consumption and must die. My good wife gave up aM hope. We were at Old Orchard, Me. at that time and my wife saw some Grape-Nuts in a grocery there. She bought some and persuaded me to rry it. I had no faith in it but took it to please her. To my surprise it did roi distress me as all other food had, done and before I had taken the fifth pack age I was well on the mend. "The pains left my head; my mind became clearer; I gained weight rapid ly. I went back to my work again and now after six weeks use of the food I am better and stronger than ever before in my life. Grape-Nuts surely saved my life and made me a strong hearty man. 15 pounds heavier than before I was taken sick. "Both my good wife and I are wiring to make affidavit to the truth of this." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. as the "swattee," to say nothing of the dog, the deceased dog, and he did not "renig," or even admit that he might have been mistaken. Should he now lo cate some other party as the owner of the dog- and the swift punch, he would not be in a position to prosecute, be cause he has sworn that it was Hodg-ins. SNAP SHOTS AT HOME NEWS.

Commenting on the Manchurian situation the officials here say the French ambassador at St. Petersnurg has had an interview on the subject with Foreign Minister Lams dorf, which brought out a repetition of the statement that Russia had given positive assurances to the United States that there would be no interruption ot the orien door rolicy in Manchuria an I also the assertion that the mission of General Kuropatkin, the Russian war minister, to Manchuria was pacific. The view held here is that Russia' assurances 1'uily protect the United States commercial interests. The re occupation of New Chwang hy Russian troops is claimed to be a wholly rolit ical issue between Russia, Great BritaL end Japan, and is not involving Amer ican comme-ce or any other American interest.

All she needed was the role that suited her; that can be readily understood now that her per formances of "Philippa Drayton" at the Crawford m "The bword ot the iting has been seen. She wouldn't have be come a star in the role of "Mary Queen of Scot's" nor as "La Tosca." Miss Crosman does not shine particularly bright in the more strenuous scenes but she won her audience last night when the womanly naivete of the character ot the fighting female swashbuckler was displayed. "The Sword of the King" is a ro mantic drama, which comes dangerous ly near being a tragedy, but which is made a comedy, bright and sparkling, by the superb acting of Miss Crosman. The heroics are really but stepping stones to comedy and the sword lights forerunners of humor, Miss Crosman, as Philippa, is the daughter of Sir Michael Drayton, a follower of the Prince of Orange, who has a small force of men he might send into the field if he had a leader for them. He is too aged to command. Philippa, dressed as a boy, takes the command, saves the life of the prince and then a few coun ter plots result. The comedy arises from the fact that Philippa is taken by the soldiers and courtiers to be a boy. There is nothing new in that stage scheme. The innovation comes in the manner in which Miss Crosman handles the part. Try as she may Philippa is a womanly woman who can sustain the bragga docio of a fighting man, but temporarily without the relief of tears or confi dences. The play is not particularly strong from a dramatic standpoint, but whether it be or not is immaterial so long as Miss Crosman finds it so con venient a vehicle for her abilities. In the role of Philippa Miss Crosman is but continuing, another play, practi cally the same character with which she made her instantaneous success, Nell Owynne. In both roles she dons the garb of a man and is ready for a combat with swords at the drop of the I hat. I when Miss Crosman was in Toreka three years ago she played with Charl"s i Dickson in a comedy called "Mistakes Will llrippen. There is no change in her acting and no noticeable increase to her capabilities. She was the competent actress then that she is now; but at that time she was simply leading woman in a commonplace company. Then she was "discovered" by the public. Her success, like many others, waited onl for the discovery, which in her case was made. The supporting company was fair, and Hubert llosworth was a capital "Ned Rovston," the hero-lover of "Philippa." The role of French follower of the prince, taken by Henry Bergman, was particularly clever imitation or a broguish Frenchman. The three acts and the prologue were particularly well staged, every bit of furniture being carried by the company. As "Philippa" Miss Crosman, who is really Mrs. Maurice Campbell, looked not to be one day over twentv. Her hair, and her own hair it is. was as blonde as the hair of the blondest snake charmer that ever awed the public. Mrs Campbell must be forty mighty near it. nnywa:-. She has a boy who is at tending a military school somewhere in the east. Rut what difference does age make on the stage with Lillian Russeli, the perennial, and Isodore Rush and a few more who have been "under 30" for the last fifteen years?

9 LODGE ilEUSi Woodmen Convention Was Di vided Evenlj. Two Delegations Will Go to Ind iami tolls. 01)1) FELLOW ELECTION A Long List of .Members Pre sented This Year. Fraternal Aid Will Meet Here on May 1 '2. The Modern Wooimpn of Kansas will tend two delegations to the head camp at Indianapolis, on June 16. One ot these jo, Rations only can be seated, but which one it will be is a matter of considerable conjecture. The fight for the endorsement betueen J. G. Johnson of Feahody and E. E. Murphy of Leavenworth, both of them candidates for the office of head consul, tiie high est office in the national head camp, caused an absolute split in the state convention at Krnporia, Wednesday. "What nn wins of the convention, calls a deliberate plan to secure the endorsement of .1. G. Johnson by un justly refusing to recognize the regu larly chosen Wyandotte county dele gation, caused the Murphy supporters to hold a convention of their own. Both conv. -nti'Mis carried out the complete routine of business and will send a del egation to the head camp. The light in the hali during the morning had all the ncridiiy of a political convention. Hoth candidates had good organizations and t;)i h side remained intact. At each state convention or state camp a state consul is elected to pie tide at the next convention. The only business of the convention is to select this officer and the state clerk and tn.i del-'gathm for the national encamp meni. This year State Consul I'. G. t'hubbic was lined up for the endorse ment of Johnson. The Murphy people lr,im that Chubbic "pack, d" th eon mittee on credentials with Johnson men On TiKsdav night, previous to th convention, the Murphy men claim ed 75 out of Its delegates at the con vention. Anions this 75 were five dele gates from Wyandotte county and one or two oth"is. It is claimed bv Murphy's friends that John ion's wpmizatif n deliberate ly arrantd that the Wyandotte dele cation should be thrown out. on the claim that their credent in Is were not cenuine Another delegation ot John B,,nifes prese,;t.d Wyandotte credent ials whiel, the chubbic. committee ac cepted. In an affidavit concerning the proceedings the Murphy people claim that "these ot- rl'-ntiMls were fixed up m K.,-r,,r: on the nisht before the con- V"TwoMother delegates, representing a countv arh, we,- dwo.ua!, hed m the tame "manner. When the rirst session of ti e convention was called to order v,tlul Chubbic named the committee on credentials, and it went in' J' to examine the credentials of the UN delegates. The report of this committee cave a list of delegates upon whi- the names of the Wyandotte people and the cither two were absent, and recom mended that it be accented. Over the objections of the Murphy people this reromm"ivlation was adopted, Consul Chubbic refusing to put a substitute motion to throw out. the report. Imme diateiv thereafter he Murphy people nbout sixty in number, left the open bouse and' assembled in the Emporia wigwam. Later in the day others Joined them. Till-: TWO ELECTIONS. Just before dinner John H. At wood was selected as chairman, and Charles I. Welch of Toreka secretary. After dinner a full Murphy delegation was chosen 1'or the Indianapolis convention. W. T. Watkins of Wyandotte was chosen state consul, and L. J. I'ettijohn ptate clerk. The selection of the next rmeting place was left to the consul. In the other convention the Johnsonites. under Consul Chubbic, tier ted a John son delegation of 42. and chose J. C. Brown of iiorton state consul, and Her man Retohlag of Emporia state clerk. Dr. J. Neptune of Salina was recom mended as head physician fur Kansas. The Johnson people selected Fort Scott lor the next meeting. SETTLED AT INDIANAPOLIS. No split in the order of wooderaft is ftnticipaied over this ticht. The Topeka people who were in Emporia say that the tight v i 1 1 be settled completely and forever at the Indianapolis encampment in June. There the credentials of th two d ie? uions will be examined and one or the other accepted. The original division, and the one over which the "W'odmen are most deeply interested, i the rate adjustment proposition. J. C Johnson has made his campaign on a j .lit I form opposing a rate adjustment. Murphy favors the alteration of the rate !ch"dulo. This is to tie decided at In dianapolis. It is stated that Murphy t arried Indiana, Iow a. Illinois. On gor find Oklahoma at yesterday's camps, and hi friends here claim he will con. tr"l the national encampment. In that ccse his Kansas rtelcgation will prob ably be seated. It is unusual that two candidates come up for this office iiri the same state.

The new Vinewood cars arrive and cause consternation among the horses. TEND D0UI11VARD. Dun Co. Note a Slight Decline in Prices. Railroad Earnings Continue to Show Big Gains. BUSINESS IS LARGE. Surpasses That of Trevious Years at Same Date. AVeather and Labor Troubles Don't Stop It. New York, May 9. R. G. Dun Co.'a Weekly Review of Trade says: "Unrest in the ranks of labor has In creased rather than abated since May 1, when difficulties of this sort usually culminate. No single struggle of great magnitude is in progress, but the fre quency of small strikes is disturbing, and in the aggregate a large force ia idle, while important industrial under takings are checked. Good reports are received from footwear factories, ship ments from Boston for the year thus far surpassing all records, and clothing makers receive duplications of spring orders, in addition to getting out fall samples. Prices of commodities declined slightly during- April, Dun's index num ber falling from $!H.267 to $18.561. A year ago the highest point of recent years wacs touched at $102,289. Railway earnings in April were 13.4 per cent larger than in April last year, and 2S.7 above 1901. "Cancellation of orders where deliver ies failed to be made according to con tract and new business at lower quota tions indicate a tendency toward more normal conditions in pig iron. This is highly desirable, and gives assurance that present activity in iron and steel may be maintained. Pending contracts lor about 50,OHO tons of structural ma terial have been closed, and other or ders are only postponed by uncertainty regarding the labor situation. Railway requirements appear to have no limit, and the proposed extensions will con sume large quantities of steel. Billets are one ot the scarce articles at present, even imports being arranged with diffi culty. Implement manufacturers are surpassing all records in their pur chases of merchant steel, machine shops are working at full capacity, and there is a brisk demand for plates, pipes and tubes. All leading machinery markets report satisfactory conditions. Trade in hardware is of good volume, orders as suring activity for some time, and new business still coming forward freely, es pecially at the south. "Textile manufacturers at the East have not improved their position dur ing the past week. Jobbers are buying only small quantities, exercising a dis crimination that indicates dull markets elsewhere, and salesmen are being with drawn from the road. With large print mills closed, there is no activity in print cloths, nor is the movement of brown sheetings and drills of any ac count. "Abnormal prices for raw cotton might be expected to stimulate inquiry for goods, but the only effect is to pre vent sellers from making concessions. Higher figures are expected next week at the official opening of the season in carpets. More woolen mills have closed and the market is featureless, but the new wool clip is firmly held. A steadier tone is noted in silks, owing to reports that production will be curtailed. Trade is rather quiet in leather, both as to sole and upper .with prices steady, al though heavyweight stocks have ac cumulated. Chicago packer hides are dull at recent advanced prices, which were only on latest salting. Foreign dry hides are easier, buyers reducing their bids slightly. "Failures this week were Do in the United States, against 21S last year, and 22 in Canada, compared with 2 a year ago." New York, May 9 Bradstreet's says: "Business continues large and industry active, in most cases surpassing pre vious vears at this date, despite un reasonably cord weather in some sec tions and a swarm of vexatious labor troubles. "Most of the measures of trade and in dustrial volume still make favorable showings. The simply enormous gain in gross lailway earnings reported for April, 13 per cent, over the best in pre vious years, is proof that past good re ports of trade and traffic were fully justified. "The usual lull in wholesale trade allows of some retrospects and reflec tions as to the future. Iron production is at the maximum, but pig iron is dull and drooping. In sharp contrast with cruder forms is the strength and ao tivity in steel and the continued active sale for finished products. Men's wear woolen goods are not being taken hold of freely, and "some shortening of running time is possible at New England mills. Wrool mnrcs fairly, though mostly at concessions, and the disturbed condi tion of raw cotton, prices having reached the highest point in over two years, holds back trade for fall, thougn rather more disposition to do business has been manifested by buyers this week. Strikes and lockouts interfere with trade in lumber and other build ing material, particularly at New York. On the other hand, the shoe imV.stry seems to be exceptionally active. Leather is firmly held. Western dry goods, grocery, hardware, clothing and millinery jobbers note good re-orders, and the volume of fall orders booked ex ceeds a year ago. Southern trade is affected by unseasonably cold weather holding back business and complicating the croti situation in cotton, fruits and TTOSD1Y. Jo 3 F. Dumont Smith wants to know what Governor Bailey is going to talk about. 'a n T!T fee f i e.l siseciei vegetables. The damage done by cold weather, hotrever, can still be repaired by prompt replanting and favorable weather, although the cotton crop will be a late one." GOULD WINS SUIT. He Was Made Defendant in a 25,000 Damage Case. New York, May 9. The appellate divi sion of the supreme court has reversed the award by a lower court to Frank D. Mowbray, former valet of Howard Gould, of $5,000 for injuries sustained by Mowbray through the premature ex plosion of a signal rocket on Mr. Gould's yacht several years ago. One of Mow bray's eyes was torn out and he was injured in the chest. In the original suit Mowbray swears he had protested against the firing- of the signals as they were imperfect, and that Mr. Gould had ordered him to do his duty or lose his job. He said that after the accident employment at $1,000 a year for life had been promised, and that this promise had not been kept. Thereupon he brought suit to recover $25,000 damages. In IftfK) a Jury brought in a verdict of $5,000 in Mowbray's favor after a trial of a most sensational character. The defendant at once appealed from the verdict. Howard Gould's defense was that Mowbray was dismissed for drunkenness. As to the accident he disclaimed all responsibility, and said no order had been given to set the rockets off.

James Harr, of Topeka, is reported t be heir to an immense fortune left by a relative In Australia. Harr has been serving on the city sanitary force, as a Parker appointee. He is expecting ta go to Los Angeles soon, but up to Thursday was still in town. It appears that a romance of 35 years ended last December with the death of James A. Roberts, of Esterwick, Aus tralia. The fortune left by Mr. Rob erts, estimated at more than two mil lion dollars, will be divided among site teen American heirs, three of whom live in Kansas. The Ka.nsas heirs are James M. Harr; Mathias Harr, post master at Auburn, Kas., and Robert Harr. a farmer who lives near Alma. The other thirteen heirs live in Colo rado and Pennsylvania, D. F. Lloyd, of Pittsburg, Pa., has been delegated by the heirs to go to Australia and wind up the affairs of Roberts and distrib ute the money to the heirs. Mr. Rob erts left no will. Mr. Roberts left his home In Cham bersburg. Pa., 35 years ago to make his fortune in the west. His sweetheart had promised to come to him when ha could get a start in business. He drift ed about in America without finding work that suited him and finally tools passage for Australia. He found work there on the sheep ranches, and by pav ing his money got together enough ta get a start in the business. Then ha sent for his American sweetheart, but she refused to cross the water to reach him. She argued that their compact did not carry with it an agreement to cross the Pacific ocean, and she agTeei to maet him in San Francisco. He be lieved she ought to come to Australia, and refused to come back to America after her. The correspondence between the two was continued for 25 years, anJ each refused to go to the other. Neither Roberts nor his sweetheart married and Roberts died leaving no heirs except the pons and daughters o$ his brothers and sisters. They will have the estate divided this summer. James Harr left today for Los An geles to make his home. He modestly says he does not count his chickens be fore they are hatched. Marshall's Band Sunday.

TOPEKA STATE JOUENAL, SATURDAY EVENING. MAT 9, 1903. 11 f For the Vomcn. Jj It Is unlikely that any woman who heard hvr iin.:-esive t.iik before the Tfpeka federation of clubs at its Jum rneetirist last year has forgotten Mrs. Florence Kelly, of the National Con sumers' league and one-time factory in Fpertor of Illinois, and her story of tin sweat shops of the (treat nianufatturir. tenters. The current number of the Outlook contains an article on the sarr.. Fubjeet, the story of the experiences of th- writer in making the rounds of the tenements with a factory inspector. Kecent huinne laws have dne much to improve condiiions for the worker within the factory walls. The "righteous manufacturers." as Mrs. Kelly d'-sir-nat?i1 the employers who pay fair wagii for a reasona.'de uoi kinr: day and pro. vide a healthful, comfortable, sanitary place for their employ's to work, are increasing. The National Consumers leasrue is (loins what it can lo make virtue profitable by urging people to pledge themselves to use only the prod ucts of rnanu f.K tori s so conducted and which bear the National t'onsumeis' lengrne label. The efforts of philanthropy have been so six cessul that most of the great faotoiios are now "model"' fa tori s and the horrors of the sweat Fh"; s; stem are now eontined to the ten-ments where ;dcce work is done. -'-ecordii trt the laws o: the state of New V'ri. when a man or woman wishes to take ;iece work from a fac tory, he. must make application to the factory inspection department, which Kives his name and address, the num ber of persons who will work under the license, the number in the famil;- ana the nationality of the a piilicant. A deputy inspector visits the address Riven pnd if he finds the conditions satisfac tory Brants the license, which the holder is obha-ed to show at the factories from which he takes material for home niak- Now this law would seem to provide for the nwkliie of clothinc under sani tary conditions but like other laws it is more notable for its evasion than for its enforcement. The Outlook writer who visit. 'd the tenements found families of 15 in three dark, ill-smellins-, filthy looms with from three to half a dozen sewmir machines running all the time and the corners of the rooms piled hieh with the products of the wretched in mates' labor. The workers and their ihiidren slept, conked and ate in the rooms where they made the clothing destined to be worn by clan. fastidious people. Children from 6 to 16. too young to be admitted to the factories, were at work on the garments. In one tenement an Italian woman was found working without a license. She de clared that she had one and slipped out to a neighbor's where she borrowed a card to show the inspector. It was learned that four women in the tene ment were using: one card. They wept and begged that their work should not be takm from them. The Outlook writer urges the dancer cf the spread of disease and infection front garments made under these con ditions as the mose serious aspect of this terrible system and this was a point marie much of by Mrs. Kelly in her talk in Topeka last summer. No doubt this is done on account of a belief in the inherent selfishness of peo ple who micht remain indifferent to the woes of the wretched victims of this system but who can be aroused to ac tion when their own personal safety is proven to be concerned. I3ut when you think of the miserable women of the tenements begins on their knees for the right to work for themselves and their children can you waste much pity on the people who buy the clothes on which these unfortunates wear out the:r lives? Is the real horror of such a situ ation in the thought of the microbes which miht entr comfortable or lux urious homes in the factory-made clothing which the member of such household wear? No doubt the Nation al Consumers league and the other philanthropioal societies which make a specialty of reform in this direction find this a telling- argument and are glad to make use of it but to what selfishness, what cruelty, what hardness it testifies if we can hear unmoved of the lives of these miserable creatures of the tene ments and only become concerned when a question is made of our own protec tion: Tixe work of the National Consumers' leag-ue like many another charity has its discouraging aspect. How terrible to think that it is not the wealthy man ufacturer uv the selfish consumer who sutlers from the reform of the evils of the sweat shop system but the poor men and women who make these ar ticles and the little children dependent upon them! Undoubtedly the ultimate result of a strict enforcement of the factory inspection laws would be fav orable to the factory hand shorter hours at a liviner wagre but meanwhile think of the helpless victims of the re form movement" These men and wo men must live (although Carlyle might urge that he didn't see the necessity) and they must work. Under the pro visions of the law the ones who are in greatest need of the work are the ones who are deba-.-red from it on account of the conditions in which they live. Women with little children who can pot go to the factory must break or f vade the law in order to get work to keep their brood from starving. Keform in the matter of child labor offers similar discouragements. Un doubtedly a child is as well oft: work ing in a factory as running uncared for in the streets as he would otherwise be i doing. If the child works he can't go to school, but on the other hand it he didn't work wbere will the money come from to buy clothes he needs and the books h" must have and the food to sustain him at his studies? If a family of six is barely able to exist with three children under the age prescribed by law working in factory or mine how can tnev get on when only the parents and the oldest child are permitted to earn wages? Yet no doubt the Reformer is right when he tells us that these are the only pva (.-tic-able and possible ways to cor rect the terrible evils of our social sys tem. "The reform as well as the evil may have its victims." he says, "but they are fewer and theirs is not a use less and fruitless sacrifice. They suffer that their fellows may prosper. Their griefs make life easier for those who come after them. It Is the only way in which the amelioration of the condi tion of their class can be brought about." But what cruelty ana injus tice that those who have nothing should do with less in order to help their kind while they who have too much, and for whose selfishness and greed the rest of the human family suffers keep all and in their arrogant assumption of super iority preach self-sacrifice and altruism to the "other half." This southern view of the unquiet sex in the present phase of its development in America is from the Memphis Commercial-Appeal, which says editorially: Those who are engaged in the making of books are beginning to make what promises to ba a radical departure from the time honored custom of laud ing woman and paying her all the hon ors available. American women have been more favored and flattered in this respect than the women of any other country. Foreigners tiave a quiet but not always a concealed contempt for the men of America because of their I subserviency to women, and the men of America rather rejoice in their bond age. This exaltation of the sex in America, it is sain, has produced in women a colossal egoism, pelrishnesi which, after all. is at the bottom of every human action, has been developed in the American woman to such an ex tent that she is attracting attention and challenging the scalpel of the literary dissectors and anatomists. Men live for women while women live for themselves. They wish no responsibility either of home or children: no restraints or ties or duties. They want liberty and mon ey and leisure to gad about and exploit themselves in clubs and in public view, and this makes them restless, dissatis fied and feverish. This morbid individualism is not con fined to the leisure class, but is found in every grade and on every social plane. Mrs. and Miss Van Vorst in their book, "The Woman Who Toils," has found it among factory women, where dissatis faction, restlessness and sellishness are unpleasantly conspicuous. These writers say: "The American born girl is an egoist. Her whole effort (and she makes and sustains one in the life ot mill drudgery) is for herself. She works for. luxury until the day when a proper husband presents himself. Then she stops working and lets him toil for both, with the hope that the budget shall not be diminished by increasing family de mands. In those cases wnere the wo man continues to work after marriage she chooses invariably a kind of occu pation which is inconsistent with child bearing. She returns to the mill with her husband. There were a number of married couples at the knitting factory at Perry. They boarded, like the rest of us. I never saw a baby nor heard of a bab; No horrid man is saying these things, it must be remembered, and no excep tionally sour tempered woman, but two women who have made a study of the question, and who claim to know their sex thoroughly. What is found among: the women who work in the mills and factories is found elsewhere to the highest plane where, on the sacred heights, are found the exclusive 400. The indictment is rather a severe one, it must be admitted. A Frenchman, M. Le Houx, who spent some lime in this country, discovered much the same thing. On his return he wrote a book entitled "Business and Love," which contained his impressions of America. Egoism and seltisnness he finds dominating and he finds the American woman the victim of a pro cess of spoiling in her home life where she is emancipated from all responsi bility and where even her work, which she undertakes with much flourishing of trumpets, is more of an indulgence than a duty. "The outside occupations which she has assumed," says this writer, '.'haven't the genuine character of reg ular duties. The ambition of the wo man is thwarted by the ambition of other women. Outwardly and inwardly it is the struggle, the clashing of one vanity against another, of one egotist against another egotist. If the woman had been brought up to the idea of duty she could recover herself. She would realise that one is condemned to live in everlasting uneasiness when one has no other object on earth but one's self." A writer in the Chicago Record Herald who boasts the honest name ot Mary O'Connor. indorses what the Frenchman says and goes him several better in her comments by saying that the self-centeredness of American wo men is attracting the attention of even superficial observers. There is some thing almost tigerish in this: "They are coming to have a lofty belief that every thing is due them simply because they condescended to be born. They grasp at every good thing of life without thought of returning payment to society in any way. Every little social center contains married women who neither keep house, bear children nor look after the comfort of their husbands, but think they honor them if they spend their money for them, and singlet women who live detached lives and thrust aside any impediment that threatens to limit their liberty, their time or their puse, in the shape cf duties to parents, kin or so ciety." We are only quoting- members of the restless sex and a Frenchman who may be purblind or prejudiced and their tes timony must be taken for what it is worth. The cause of it all M. Le Roux explains: "American women have made tyrannical use of the power placed in their hands by an accident of circum stances. Their ambitions, their fan tasies, their egoism, they have made a law. They have reduced man to just where they wanted him. As it was nec essary to disabuse him of any rebellious ideas, they have had him taught as a small boy by women and trained him to respect the feminine ideal. As a mat ter of fact, it is not equality which has been the American man's religion. He has been forced to believe in the supe riority of woman such as he saw her in school and later in his own home." If this is true it must refer to that delightful creature whom we have heard so much about and whom we know so TAKEN 111 BUTTLE THE THRILLING EXPERIENCE OF CAPTAIN WESTBROOK. For a Year After His Capture He Was Moved From One Prison to Another and Was Finally Exchanged. A Confederate force under command of Brigadier General John A. McAus land had attacked, on July C, lSt4. a blockhouse ten miles west of Martins burg, W. Va. Captain N. S. Westbrook with the remnants of Companies B and F of the 135th Ohio volunteers, made a gallant defense but when a six-gun bat tery was brought to bear upon his posi tion, further resistance became a use less sacrifice of life. For a year after hia surrender. Captain Westbrook, who now lives at Ripley, 111,, was confined in southern prisons. In telling his ex perience, he says: "They took me from one place to an other till I had been in nearly all the prisons of the Confederacy and, -by the time I was exchanged at Annapolis in the spring of 1S65, I was reduced to a physical wreck. The exposure caused sciatic rheumatism which became chronic and did not leave me until thirty years afterward when I took Dr. Wil liams' Pink Fills for Pale People and was cured. "The disease affected my entire sys tem. In addition to the agonies of the rheumatism I had indigestion In its worst form, together with kidney trou ble and heart failure, i was getting throughly used up." "How did you come to take Dr. Wil liams' Pink Pills?" was asked. "A neighbor of mine, James M. Stout, wai cured of rheumatism by this rem edy when he was so bad that he could not straighten up. So I thought what cured him would cure me. And I was right." Rheumatism is a disease of the blood. External applications may afford tem porary relief, but to cure the disease it is necessary to treat it through the blood. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People go directly to the seat of the dis order, purifying and enriching the blood by eliminating poisonous elements and renewing health-giving forces. They are a positive specfie not only for rheu matism, but for all diseases arising from poor blood or weakened nerves. They are sold at fifty cents a box, or six boxes for two dollars and a half, and may be had of all druggists or direct by mail from Dr. Williams Medicine Com pany, Schenectady, N.

Our women receive their clothes and fashions and furnishings, their books and customs from the north, and a few ot the Smart Set may be led away into new fields of thought and action, but the great majority have that old-time innateness, the love of home and husband and family, and the culti vation of the graces and the inexpres. sible charm of womanliness. Some go in for club life, but not extravagantly or exclusively; some may piddle about in a dilettante manner"with cigarettes and cocktails and less serious fads, but the great majority are the same dear girls as iirls used to be. The late meeting of the Woman's Suf frage association, held in New Orleans, gave emphasis to the conservatism of southern women. In selecting the place of meeting the leaders' of the movement believed they were doing what Bryan calls "invading th enemy's country." They depended on physical adjacency to destroy the crust of reserve that en cases southern women, but in this they were mistaken. The meeting was what the votaries a the sack ajid buckskin call "a frost." Instead of extending an influence beneficial to the organization they aroused antagonism and evoked unfavorable comment. Nothing in the collation spread had savor for our women, u nen they saw what it was they discovered that they did not want it. We have a few woman suffragists in the south, hut the blessed creatures do not mean it. With them it is a fad or a ta or a mission or, may be a freak, like wear ing heavy furs in July or serving ice cream and chili con came in the same course. Occasionally a woman is found who in hr rri'ie of intellect fancies she could order thlnps as they should be ordered were she given control, but she does not believe that other women could do so, and "sue joins ail other women in the belief tht men. collectively, know what is best lew-omen and that women collectively do not know what is best for women, and she would rather trust man's chivalrv- and sense of justice than to trust women with their clashing vanities. The idea of go ing to the polls on election dav and vot ing; the idea of attending ward meetings, conventions, conferences and other as semblings of practical politics: the idea of mingling in motley crowds and iostiing with all kinds and conditions and colors of men and women will never he a pleasing subject of contemplation to southern wo men. The restlers sex must confine its activi ties to sections of our countrv where the climate is more insalubrious and unconge nial, and permit the women of the lotus land to slumber on in their delightful old ways. They are satisfied and they satisfy the men, who are content to serve them slavishly and adore them devotedly. In whatever of bondage they are, they are willing to remain. They have grown ac customed to their chains and their prisons have grown dear to them. They do not yearn for emancipation, nor are their lives a continual and vociferous protest against Clod's alleged injustice for not having made them men. They are not clamoring to change their gowns for the galligaskins. They prefer to remain custodians of man's conscience, repositories of the virtues, the repertorium of tile loves and graces and the reservoir of sweetness and light. If they are selfish, men made them so If they are tyrannical men made them so. If they are afflicted with faui's and fanata sip. ar.d ambitions, and egomania, mn made them so, and men would not have them otherwise. ter and makes an excellent home-made wine. When the leaf stalk grows very large and old the acid becomes very sharp and the stalk string?-, the cellulose tough and woody. It should not be eaten too freely, as it is likely to cause serious irritation. At this stage, if used at all, it is better made into jellies and wine. PIE-PLANT SAUCE. In cooking the young, tender leaf-stalks do not strip off the skin, as this gives fla vor to the sauce. If- you wish to remove some of the tartness pour boiling water over it and let it stand for hve minutes. Cook In a double boiler until tender and sweeten to taste. Just before removing from the tire add a few chips of the yel low rind of lemon and a tablespoonful of butter. STEWED RHUBARB. Wash the leaf stalks well in cold water, do not skin them if young and tender; otherwise peel off the outer skin. Cut into small pieces and put into a porcelain-lined or earthen dish. Cover with half tiie weight of the rhubarb in granulated su gar and place where it will cook slowly until tender. to not stir. When the juice begins to come out cover the dish and let steam. No water will be required when cooked in this manner. RHUBARB DUMPLINGS. Cut into small pieces one and one-halt pounds of rhubarb, scald for rive minutes in boiling water, drain, add a heaping cup of sugar and half a cup of hot water and cook seven minutes, ilake a liiiht, rich biscuit crust with flour, butter, salt and baking powder and water to make a dough that will roil out easily. Cut into four inch squares; put two tablespoonf uls of the rhubarb in each one. pinch the edges together, brush with milk and sprin kle with sugar. Bake in a hot oven and serve with a sweet savce. RHUBARB OR PIE-PLANT COBBLER. Select rhubarb that is perfectly fresh, tender and crisp. Cut into small pieces and chop fine. Make a dough with two cups of sifted flour, two teaspoonfuls ot baking powder, half a teaspocnf ul of salt, two large tablespoonf uls of butter, an egg beaten lirht and from three-fourths to a cupful of milk. Line the sides of a bakin? dish with this crust; fill the dish with one quart of the chopped rhubarb, sweeten with three cups ot sugar, cover me oisn with the remainder of the crust and bake for half an hour. RHUBARB TAPIOCA. After soaking two-thirds of a cup ot taDioca over night put it in a double boiler with a cup of water and cook until clear, adding a little more water if required. Then add a cupful of rhubarb sliced very thin, a pinch of salt, a small piece of gin ger root and two-thirds of a cup of sugar. Turn into a buttered baking dish and bake an hour in moderate oven. Serve hot or cold. RHUBARB CHARLOTTE. Butter a baking dish well and cover the bottom with bread crumbs to the depth of an inch: then add a layer of rhubarb that has been chopped fine or sliced very thin. Cover well with sugar, then add another layer of bread crumbs, dot this layer with bits of butter, add another layer of rhu barb, sugar and crumbs and so continue until dish is full: have the top layer ot crumbs covered with bits of butter. Bake slowly covered at first for an hour. RHUBARB FRITTERS. Cut the stalks of tender, crisp rhubarb into two or three inch lengths, make a plain fritter batter; dip the pieces into this and fry in deep, hot fat until a nice brown. Pile them up loosely on a lolded napkin, sprinkle powdered sugar over them and serve. If the stalks are not very vourg, skin them and parboil for seven or eight minutes before dipping them. RHUBARB CUSTARD-. Make an ordinary custard with a pint ot milk, two egg yolks, a pinch of salt and sugar to taste. Line a deep pudding disti with thin slices of bread or pie paste rolled very thin, cover with layer of chopped or sliced rhubarb; spread thickly with sugar and add the custard mixture. Bake in moderate oven until the custard is set. Use the whites of the eggs for a meringue to cover the top of the pudding. Brown 3 delicate color in the oven. RHUBARB JELLY BORDER WITH WHIPPED CREAM. For this select the red stalks of yonn rhubarb. Wash well and cut a pound ct the rhubarb into inch lengths. Put into a baking dish with two cups of granulated sugar, a pint of water and a small piece of green ginger root. Bake slowly until the rhubarb is tender. Add half a box of pink gelatine that has. been soaked half an hour to a half cup of cold water ar.d dissolved over hot water. Add the juice of an orange or lemon and pour the mixture into a wetted border mold and set away to harden. Turn out on dish with fancy lace paper doily, heap whipped cream in the center and around the base and decorate with clear lemon jelly or candied cherries. CREAM RHUBARB PIE. To one cup of finely chopped rhubarb add a cup of sugar and grated rind of orange or lemon. Put a tablespoonful of corn starch in a cup, moisten with a tablespoon ful of cold water and pour in enough boil ing water to fill the cup full, add this to the rhubarb. Beat light the yolks of three eggs and add to the mixture and pour into a pie dish lined with good crust. Baki without top crust.

The particular branch or more correctly speaking root of the rhubarb (Rheum) family familiarly known by the above ap pellation also as garden rhubarb, etc., be longs to the vegetable group, but for all domestic purposes is used as a fruit only. It is a vegetable growing rapidly and appearing very early in the spring and yielding an agreeable sub-acid juice that is grateful to most tastes, many consid ering its flavor quite equal to the cooking apple and gooseberry. Coming into market when the apple is becoming scarce and be fore the gooseberry appears, it is doubly welcome as an available material for pit making, sauce and many simple, tasty desserts. The well known medicinal quality of the plant lies in the root, not the edible stalk The English varieties or common garden varieties can not compare with the Tnrkey rhubarb as medicine, a fact that adds to the usefulness of the rheum rhaponticum as a table dtlicacy. As its properties are mildly corrective and its acids, pectic. malic and citric, in the young, tender leaf stalks are biood purifying to a moderate degree it makes another valuable addition to our natural spring tonics. The excessive use of the older leaf stalks tends to thin the bleed and produce eruption on the skin. The juice of garden rhubarb yields a considerable quantity 01 saccharine mat- Inquiries Answered.

Pinkham for advice all such letters are strictly confidential she has guided in a motherly way hundreds of young women and her advice is freely and cheerfully given. School days are danger days for American girls. Often physical coliapse follows, and it takes years to recover tha lost vitality. Sometimes it is never recovered. Perhaps they are not over-careful about keeping their feet dry; through carelessness in this respect the monthly sickness is usually rendered very severe. Then begin ailments which should be removed at once, or they will produce constant suffering. Headache, faintness, slight vertigo, pains in the back and loins, irregularity, loss of sleep and appetite, a tendency to avoid the society of others, are symptoms all indicating that woman's arch-enemy is at hand. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has helped many a young girl over this critical period. With it they have gone through their trials with courage and safety. With its proper use the young girl is safe from the peculiar dangers of school years and prepared for hearty womanhood. A Young Chicago Girl "Studied Too Hard." Dear Mes.

The office of private secretary to the president doesn't include among its du ties kissing the babies. The president attends to that himself. It Is said that Porto Rico is to have a university. How can an institution of that eh ra;-ter succeed where the weather is too warm to play football? St. Douis I'ost-Dispatch: It Is to be regretted that in most cases where a political party "sweeps the city" at an election it neglects to sweep the city aftfrvaids. Cleveland is the only man who has been able to break the record of Demo cratic defeat In a half century. Per haps this encourages him to believe that he can also break the unwritten thiid term law. Of course nobody expected Russia to turn loose Manchuria, but it seems that "diplomacy" has made it necessary for everybody to wait until she got such a good hold on it that it will take a war to make her relax her grip. A party that could vote for a man 'ho had stood in the relation to it that Horace Greeley did to the Democratij party, would find little difficulty In bringing its following to support of Mr. Cleve-i md, much as he is hated by a large element of the organization. All things considered, failure statis tics for the year thus far are not indi cative of any reaction in business, says It. G. iMin .fc Co., although the total defaulted of liabilities makes a poor comparison with preceding months. Exceptionally high rates in the money market during the winter made it dif ficult to carry weak concerns through, and there has been somewhat mole pressure on account of the high cost of materials and labor. Moreover, there is always a tendency to excess during a season of prosperity, and it is to be oxpec ted that a considerable crop of these ill-advised ventures will be har vested in th" near future. At Inst the dirigible balloon appears to be an accomplished fact. At Paris this week the airship constructed for the Le Maudv brothers made a highly success ful trip. The start was made at 9 a. m. from St. Marin during a light rair. and with a brisk wind blowing. Tile, craft passed over a number of suburban towns. At Mantes she made a circle around the cathedral spire and left that town going diagonally against the di rection the wind was comine; from. Over I.imny Mantez and Kosney the air ship was put through a series of evo lutions and answered her helm and ma neuvered to the perfect satisfaction of all interested in her. She then returned to her point of departure, where she de scended without accident. The dis tance covered was 37 kilometers, in one hour and ;!6 minutes, against Santos Ihunont's record for the Duetsch prize of lllj kii'ineters in SO minutes. Frank G. Carpenter, in his European travels, refers to the Dusseldorf and Cologne municipal street railways on the Rhine, and colls attention to the fact that in those German cities which own and operate their own street cars he gets as good service as in the city of "Washington at one-lialf the cost of fares. The highest fares in Cologne fcre cents, while students attending educational institutions travel on com mutation tickets at 1 1-5 cents. The city also sells passes, good' for one year, at :0, and monthly passes, good on all lines, are sold at a corresponding- rate. Besides street railways, the city owns and operates Its own pas and electric light plants, bath houses, market houses, slaughter houses, cold storage plants, savings banks and pawnshops, all of which, according to Mr. Carpenter, are successfully and economically operated in the interests of the general public. DISGRACE TO THE STATE. Enough evidence has accumulated be fore the legislative committee which is investigating the conduct of the state hospitals fur the insane to show that, there is something radically wrong with these institutions. It has been conclu. sively proven, by witnesses who have not attempted to shield themselves even, that patients are pounded, slapped and beati n to make them fear the attend ants ar,d to compel them to do the at tendants' bidding. There is nothing to show that officers of the institution are in any way to blame, unless it be that they have not been as vigorous in searching for cases of mistreatment as they might have been. They have forbidden the use of violence in dealing with patients, and as a rule attendants who have been guilty of harsh treatment have been discharged. The root of the trouble seems to be that there is too much economy and not enough care in the employment of attendants. This, of course, cornea right back to the legislature and to the state itself, and the legislature and the state has had no knowledge of condi tions in the asylums. Theoretically the attendants who have the care of the insane should be trained nurs, s, with special knowledge of dis eases of the nerves and mind. They should be able to exercise intelligent care and judgment over their patients. Insanity is a disease just as much as typhoid fever, and it reouires just as delicate treatment on the part of a nurse. It is ridiculous to suppose that per sons specially fitted for this kind of w ork can be secured for from J20 to $iiO a month. It is too much to hope that the institutions can be made all they should be in the care of the unfortunates whose minds have become diseased, but it is possible to make them approxi mately so. The evidence which has been gathered by the minimittee shows that the men attendants, at least, are young boys just out of school, who have no other occupation, who take lit tle interest in it, and who leave it for other more profitable employment as soon as possible. As a consequence the men attendants are constantly chang ing. The women attendants take more interest in their work and change less often. Too often the attendants are a clars who have not sufficient experience and judgment in life to earn more than the low wages paid at the asylum. As soon as they can earn more they leave the institution. It would seem that the wages paid at tendants ought to be sufficiently raised to attract persons ef experience, train ing and judgment to the work. Attend ants should undergo an examination and be thoroughly conversant, not only with their duties, but with the nature of dif ferent kinds of insanity and the manner in which palients should be treated. It is quite likely that even then per sons might creep into the service who would commit brutalities against the helpless under their care. To provide for such a class it might be a good thing for the next legislature to pass a statute to severely punish any person caring for an insane patient who shall give such patient any undue treatment. These reforms cannot be established In a day, but it is to be hoped that the investigating committee will thorough ly follow up the information already ob tained, and make another searching in vestigation at the Osawatomie asylum, and then make some recommendations which will aid in remedying the present defects of these institutions. THE IBSEN DRAMA. Ibsen and the Ibsen drama may be intellectual food for Boston, but the. same can not be said for the rest of the country. The folbnving editorial from the St. Paul Globe is an indica tion of bow his latest drama is being received in the west: The public declines to indorse the Ibsen drama by contributing to its con tinuance on the stage.. It. is to be re gretted that the public does not more freouentli- show as good sense in con demning, by refusing to patronize, those plays that make for the lowering of the moral tone of the people or pander only to the morbidity of the perverts. "Ghosts" is one of a class of ulays that should be suppressed. Along with "The Resurrection" of Tolstoi and Ib sen's "Doll's House" it should be sent to the limbo of the things to be for gotten. For a week it was given to very small houses in St. Paul. It was artis tically played, and the art of the actors did much to hide the hideousness of the subject dealt with. But it was un wholesome. It thrilled even more thril lingly than the bloodiest of melodrama, but the thrill it produced was of horror and revulsion. Ibsen's writing is not milk for babes at any time and his dramas are simply unfit for presentation before American audiences. They are simply vehicles for the laying bare of the vicious char acteristics of some humans, but they are not broadly human. It could not possibly do a student of life, who was sufficiently advanced to grasp the Ibsen argue nt, any harm to see the Ibsen play neither could it possibly do him any good. We do not cultivate pure mindedness in children by putting realistic books into their hands. The public at least the theater going public consists large ly of people who want to be edified or amused. They are children in the de velopment of their respective faculties while observing the drama. Bet us hope that we have seen the last of "The Ghosts" and similar plays. If there are people who must have the Ibsen theory of demonstration to help them to a knowledge of the things they want to know let them go to the morgue, the mad house or the medical museum. THE TJ. C. T. IN TOPEKA. Hello, Mr. Traveling Man! Glad to sce you. Topeka is here to help you have a good time, so make the most of it. They may talk of the lodge conven tions, with their long parades, and the religious conventions with their Im mense mass meetings, and the political conventions which mill around In the Copeland lobby, but take It all around, there are none of thern which let the public get in" on the ground floor like the traveling men do. We have had them all, and we know. Topeka. enjoys the traveling men as much as we hope they enjoy Topeka. They have hired a lot of the crack bands of the west, and have paid them to play for the public, right down on Kansas avenue. They have fixed up a lot of highly interesting things for the public to look at in the Auditorium. They have been generous with their cigars, and have generally confirmed the established reputation of traveling men as "good fellows." In return, Topeka has hung out its flags, opened up its hearts and its Au ditorium, and tried to steer the visitors up against any old thing- they asked for. We are sorry that we had to tell the buckskin boys from the bad lands to refrain from exercising their Colts on Kansas avenue, but it seemed nec essary, as a few of our backward citi zens have not bought their automobiles yet, and some of the new street cars are inclined to be skittish. There is probably no class of people who are so typically American as are the traveling men. Every one of them is smart, and you tan bank on it. They are good talkers, because that's half their business. They must have energy, tact and reasonably good health. Church membership is not an essential, but when a traveling man gets right down to business and talks to you, you can count on him. But beware, for there's i no man on earth loves a joke better than the man who is "on the road." A Topeka man once wrote a poem which is known and loved by every traveling man. A few lines of it ought to be quoted on this occasion. It runs as follows: "Could 1 drink of the nectar the gods only can I would till up the glass to the brim And drink the success of the traveling man, And the house represented by him. And could 1 but tincture that glorious draught .With his smiles as I think of him then, With the jokes he has told and the laughs he has laughed I would till up the glasses again And -when he has finished this earthly abode. And made the last town that he can, Mine Host of the Inn at the end of the road Will welcome the traveling man." EDITORIAL COMMENT. Enforcing the Law. Minneapolis Tribune: The Nnrrhprn Securities people expect the Euurtirje court to reverse the deci I sion oi the lower court in the merger lease, because they expect to be able to show that there has been no restraint of trade. They assert, on the contrary, that trade has been stimulated since the merger by lower rates and greater faeil i ities of transportation. They point to lower ton-mile cost and increased earn. j bigs on reduced rates to the shipper to show that trade has been encouraged instead of restrained by the merger, i This looks like a good defense to th lay mind, if tiiey can prove the facts; I but we think it does not cjuite get the point of view of the court of appeals de eision. That was, in effect, that the power to restrain trade is an unlawful power, and a combination possessing it is an unlawful combination, even if the ier be not exercised; even if it be exercised to stimulate instead of to re i strain trade. The court does not say that the merger was not a good thing, it only says that it is an unlawful I thing. The court thought it was its duty to enforce the law as it found it. If the law forbids a g.xid thing, it is the. i business of congress to change it. This is a pretty common American view, till i you come to the enforcement of mu nicipal ordinances to make people vir- lullUa. There is not the least assurance that the supreme court will sustain the mer ger on a showing that it is not hurtful, though unlawful. The Sherman law de clares every combination in restraint of trade to be unlawful. In the pooling cases, the minority of the supreme court held that this meant only unreasonable i or hurtful restraint of trade; but the i majority held that the law meant just j what it said. So it broke up all the pooling associations, though not disput- ing that they might be in the public in i teiest, leaving congress to change the law if it thought best. i No one need be surprised If the su I preme court take the same view in the merger case. '1 he supreme court does not make the law, and it is rather o.v to change it, even for constitutional reasons. Its business is to enforce the law as it linds it, unless it is contrary to the constitution, leaving the question of what ought to be the law to congress and the people. Merger Trust Casss. New Orleans Picayune. The recent d'X-ision in the case of the merger of the Northern Pacific and the Nortnern Railroad companies, two parallel competing lines, which the United States circuit court of appeals at St. I'aul declared it to be unlawful to place under the same management, has aroused no little speculation as to what other roads may be effected. Tiiat there are othr such parallel roads is well known. The list, however. i covers only such as have put througn 1 their "deals" since 1S00, when the anti j trust law was passed. It would Include j on such a basis the Pennsylvania, which holds a controlling interest in the stock of thei parallel Baltimore anil Ohio; the Union Pacific, which controls j the; parallel Southern Pacific; Atlantic 'Coast Bine. which is a controll ing investor in the parallel Louisville i and Nashville; the New York, New Ha ven and Hartford, which formally took j possession of the parallel New York, I Providence and Boston in 1&92, and of I the New England read in 1SKS. It might j tie construed to apply also to the B'nited relates rieei tui jHjrmitui. men im a holding company for manufacturing en terprises which competed more or less directly, and which was formed to pre vent aggressive competition. There are also other companies which could be en umerr-ted. This assumption is conditioned on the supposition that the supreme court of the I.'nit'-'d States will sustain the deci sion in the northwestern merrrer case. A welter on the subject notes that the' combinations above referred to. except the TTnitod States Steel, differ from the Northern S. eui ities in that cash was actually paid for the stock acquired. This was true of the Union Pacific's purchase of the Southern Pacific and the Pennsylvania's purchase of the Bal timore Ohio. The stock in these cases was boughi; on the open market, the money being borrowed on notes of the company, afterwards paid off through issue of stocks or bonds. The Morgan interest naid cash to the "Gates rxKil" in Louisville; so, in substance, at any rate, did the Reading in its purchase of the Central of New Jersey in January, 1901, and the Pennsylvania in its Indi rect acquisition of the Reading last year. The Sugar Refining company has been before the supreme court, under the anti-trust law of 1S:K, and won its case. The court ruled that the combi nation created no monopolv and was not in restraint of trade. It must not be forgotten that it is possible to keep to the letter of the law while violating its spirit, and in such a case it is scarcely possible for the courts to interfere. Two parallel roads controlled by the same stockholders may have each different directors elected to carry out the behests of those stock holders, and these directors mav estab lish like rates for like distances between competing points, so that there is no choice of rates and no competition, but unless it can be shown that this is done by collusion, it does not contravene the anti-trust laws.

The season is rapidly approaching when you would rather fish than work. The town is full of good looking girls. Most of them are school teachers! Some body parse that. You all know how girls fade as soon as they marry. Some girls begin to fade as soon as they are engaged. When a woman's dress isn't pretty, she blames the dressmaker, and when it is, she thinks it is because she has a good figure to fit. AYhen violets are in bloom in the woods the pretty school teacher is the Tirst in town who gets any without going out af ter them. We actually met a man today who said: "Over thar." We never met one before, outside of books and plays. The man lives in Missouri. Don't let hi mother know it, but an Atchison young man who was married last fall hasn't had a change from boiled eggs for breakfast in all that time. Suggested as a feature of the teachers' convention; make the 5o from Leavenworth stand up in a .spelling match and give out Przybylowzy wiboekz. Rome people who say they are fond of music have a funny way of showing it: as some people who say they love each other, have a funny way of showing it. Girl school teachers: are of a superior class. It is a good sign when a girl de cides to fit herself for a teacher, and a better one when she is able to get a cer tificate. Although people make jokes about the old maids, they are the salt of the earth, and generally admired. And if an old maid is a school teacher, she's all the better for it. It is said of an Atchison child 7 months that he is so bad when given a hath that bis mother has to put on a bathing suit and ed in with him to avoid getting her clothes wet. An Atchison woman says she doesn't need a barometer to tell her if a storm is coming-. The manner in which her hus band slams the gate after him when he comes home is barometer enough. QUAKER REFLECTIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. Many a fat pocketbook Is filled with un receipted -bills. The natural gravity of mankind is to ward the e-rave. An unresponsive ante has driven many a man to his "uncle." When a man gets tired of doing nothing there is no hope for him. From a feniinine point of view a bird on the hat is worth two on toast. The dentist is one man who believes that It pays to hurt people's feelings. It is just as disastrous to live beyond your reputation as beyond your means. The swindler believes that if a man Is worth doing at all hevis worth doing weil. You can't tell much about a family's religion from the size of the family Bible. A little tbarity while you are alive is worth a dozen tombstone inscriptions af ter ;-ou are dead. Nell "I hear you and Jack are eroing to be married." Belie "Gracious! Who told you that?

P I It I gohuo I. 1 i a i,.: o -.-s 1 l 6 51 mm B LJ mJ twi 9 John Coyne, bailiff of the district court, carries more responsibility on his shoulders than most people imagine. He is responsible for the preservation of order in the court. He doesn't do like the bailiff in "Pud'en Head Wilson" and. pound the floor and cry "o-o-order in the c-o-t-e" every time there is a noise. He stops the noise before it begins, though that may seem paradoxical. If there is a disturbance in a corner of the room Coyne rushes there with all haste. He may jostle two or three peo ple, turn over a chair or two on his way but he stops the noise. If a trial is in progress and there is a crying baby in the room, that the moth er can not quiet, Coyne rushes over, grabs the baby without any unneces sary palaver and explanation, unless it be "give me that baaby." Then the youthful disturber is poked in the ribs a few times, bounced in the air, trun dled on the bailiff's knee perhaps and put through the usual paces which bring quiet to the unstrung nerves of an infant. Coyne is a past master .si the art of quieting babies. "Ought to know how, I've brought up more than a half dozen of 'em meself." explains Coyne. If there is an unruly person in the room the judge may take a hand and issue orders and instructions but if there is an unruly baby no orders are given. At the first cry of a baby Coyne is on the alert and a baby that he couldn't quiet is yet to be found. One of Coyne's duties is to guard the door to the judge's private chamber when the judge is busily engaged in reviewing authorities and deciding a case. Then Coyne sits just outside th3 door and smooth is the man who gets by. Coyne was a sailor on a man o" war years ago and he can guard the door to a private office like a marine would guard a hatchway. Lawyers who wish the ear of the judge for a moment use their best smiles and choicest cigar3 to win the consent from Coyne to pass into the santo sanctorum, but all to no use. It takes a mighty smooth article of blarney to serve as a pass -word. On? day not long ago, however, Coyne lost part of his invincible reputation. A young man, nice looking, intelligent, neatly dressed and with a tongue that was well trained, accosted Coyne as he sat guard outside the door to the judge's chambers. "I would like to see the Judge, said the man. "He's very busy," said Coyne; you 11 have to come aeain." "But this is something I wish to see him about personally," said the man. "Will you please see if I can have just a moment wdth him." "No use." said Coyne. "He's busy, and will see no wan." "But my business is important; I leave town tonisht." said the man. He was so persistent that Coyne locked him over. There was no evi dence in the appearance of the man that was against him. He wasn't a book agent, for he carried no books. not even in his pockets, ite looKea prosperous. Coyne relented and went into the judge's chamber, but he closed the doer behind him before the man could follow him. "Jedge," said Coyne, "there's a man out here who wants to see ye." "Who is he?" asked the judge, who was very busy. "I dur.no." said Coyne. "Ie looks all right. He's well dressed. Says he is going to leave town tonight." "Tell him to come in." said the Judge, acting on Coyne's recommendation. Coyne opened the door and the man entered. "Judge, I'm glad to see you," said the man when he had entered. The judge was standing. "Have a chair," continued the young man. Coyne stared at the intruder. "I can listen to you standing:." saiA the judge. "What can I do for you?" "Well, judse, have a chair," said the man, and he pulled up a chair and would not begin with the statement of his mission until the judge was seated. When his victim was seated the young man slipped his hand under his coat. Coyne thought it might be a revolver. It wasn't; it was the hinged-together-backs of a set of books, 32 in number, and besides that there was a sample copy of one of the volumes. The man grasped one of the hinged affairs quite firmly, gave a jerk and a pull and a throw and the full length of the 32 vol umes went flying past Coyne's head un til the patent unfolding device was stretched across the room. "A book agent!" exclaimed Coyne. The judge dismissed the man at once; that is, as quickly as a book agent can be dismissed. Then the judge looked at Coyne. The bailiff followed in the wake of the book agent. Coyne was mad, so mad that he wouldn't even lecture the book agent. That is the only book agent who ever got past Coyne. "Think of it," said Coyne, "he actually told the jedge to sit down." It was not long after that a woman arrived in the court room to see the judge. The judge, however, was in his chambers The woman wished to see him "personally myself at once." Coyne sparred for a time but the woman per sisted. "What do ye want with him?" asked Coyne- "I want to get a marriage license," said the woman. "Ye've come to the wrong place, mam." said Coyne. "Ye'll have to go to the probate for the license. This court deals only in divorces and that's enough without doin' the marryin'." "Yis. I sent her down to the probate." said Coyne, "and then the probate gave me a It) cent cigar for me part In the deal and when I got the cigar the clerk says, 'That's a tin cinter and kind a rich for ye.' I sez, 'Nothin's too rich for the Irish.' A Sure Thing. It is said that nothing is sure except death and taxes, but that Is not alto gether true. Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption is a sure cure for all lung and throat troubles. Thousands can tes tify to that. Mrs. C. B. VanMetre of Shep herdtown. Y.

It is also finite certain that I knew nothing what ever of Mrs. Atherton's plans, nor she of mine, our slight acquaintance being limited to uie or two social meetings in Havana the winter of looo, when literature, was not mentioned.

I have disposed of manuscripts which I least expected, and I have failed to sell where I thought it was a certainty. Furthermore, I have discovered that editors themselves, who presumably keep careful watch of what other editors are doing, know no more about it than I do. I have had manu scripts returned to me with the kindly suggestion that I submit it to such-and-such a periodical, 'to which it seems especially suited," but I have yet todis pose of an article by follow-in? this well meant advice. I appreciate the courtesy that prompts it, but the editors invari ably have 'guessed wrong' in these in stances. The only thing to do is to use one's best judgment and keep the article doing. If it is reasonably good, or even only fair, it is practically a sure thing that some editor wants it, the problem being to find out which one, and that can only be done by experi menting. I do not mean to say that manuscript should be sent out haphaz ard to any one. Judgment and experi ence are of value, but their value is dis tressingly uncertain, and even the most experienced err with great frequency. When I first started in, a friend whose literary work had made him independ ent undertook to help me with his ad vice, but I found that he 'suessed wrong' about as often as I did. He had acquired a reputation that helped him to dispose of his manuscripts, and there is no gainsaying that reputation is a wonderful help, but mine had to go solely on their merits."

The same prin ciide or judgment carried to a liner point of distinction must inevitably be. of as sistance and the element of chance is not so great as Mr. Flower would have us believe. One of the clement! of success in writing is a knowledge of the various peri odicals. A careful study of the needs and limitations of each magazine will surely be of assistance to the writer.

A book of short stories by "Zach" has just been published by Charles Scrib ner's Sons. It includes the following stories: "The Roman Road," "The Balance" and "Thoughty." The Scribners have ready a new vol ume of "The World's Epoch Makers,' entitled "David Hume and His Influence in Philosophy and Theology." It is by James Orr, II. A., B. T., professor of apologetics and systematic theology ii the United Free Church college, Glas gow. "Veronica" by Martha W. Austin is a recent publication of Doubleday, Page Co. It is an intimate and delicate love story from a woman's point of view, the principal scenes of which are in Louisiana. A charming woman, whose beautiful character is delicately unfold ed, is the attractive heroine, for it is a storv of feeling and not a tale of ad venture. The author's style gives it literary distinction. The intimate sub ject, the good taste and the unusual ex cellence of style these are the charac teristics of the novel. Rudvard Kipling has cabled his pub lishers, Doubleday. Page Co., that the title for his new volume of poems will be "The Five Nations," and that the volume will contain among the poems appearing in periodicals since the pub lication of "The Seven Seas," twenty five entirely new poems that have not been published in any form. Perhaps many of these would have been cabled, word for word, to this country for pub lication in the newspapers and maga zines, but that Mr. Kipling is deter mined to keep them for the book. The Scribners have published a new novel by Alice Duer Miller entitled "The Modern Obstacle." The modern obsta- cle is, of course, the lack of money, and i Mrs. Miller weaves around the theme a j thoroughly modern, and a veiy cleverly written, love story". Suppose there is not money enough, according to present j day standards, to make a certain love i match possible, but the man is certain j to die. any way, within a year. Why shouldn't the lovers have this brief in terval of married happiness? Afterward i the young widow may do what her sta- tion in life demands. The story runs the gamut from lightest comedy to truly I tragic situations. There is an epigram or a brilliant generalization in every paragraph. Viola Roseboro. the author of "The Joyous Heart," just brought out by i McClure, PhilliDS Co., is not one of I that very numerous class of women who j have graciously given the world a novel, I written in the few months between jgiaduating from hirh school and going i to college.

Eventually abandoning the stage she took up newspaper work, and ran the gamut of Journalism. Be ginning to write for the magazines, she found her stories readily accepted. Her first book was "Old Ways and New." and shortly after its publication she be came connected with the S. S. McClure company, for which house she has been reader tor about five years. Harper Bros.' London house brina out an English edition of Frances Powell's "The House on the Hudson.' recently published here by Charles Seribner's Sons. This book, although only a few weeks old and by an author hitherto unknown, has already attained a place among the six most popular books in New Vork city. Prof. Harry Thurston Peck, editor of The Bookman, enthusiastically declares it one of the most remarkable books he has read. "There is an undeniable power in it," he says, "that dominates you for the time and that makes you think of the power that Charlotte Bronte shows in the most memorable chapters of 'Jane Eyre'."" S. R. Crockett has appeared with a new book. Its title is "FloWer-o'-the-Cora," and! its publishers are McClure. Phillips Co. In it Mr. Crockett again takes the field with pure historical romance and adds to his already long list of successful rales of adventure, one which is said to be quite the best he has et done. The storv is a picturesque one full of emotion an.l action in which a number of great historical characters take part, among them the Duke of Marlboro. Madame de Mamtenon and Louis XIV. The interest of love and 1 J I I II Ml I 4 s adventure centers around a young Eng lish lieutenant, who is aide to. the great duke on his campaign in Flanders. Into the hands of the young men are put the plans for the relief of a. body of enoh protestants, beleaguered in their moun tain fastness in the Cevennes. Many things happen to him on the road and in the city he finds "Flower-o"-the-Corn," whom he met and loved in Marlboro's camp. Through his daring and bravery he wins her love and takes her back to the English lines his wife. It has become known that Andrew C Wheeler (Xym Crinkle) who recently died on his farm in Rockland county, was th "J. P. M." whose striking essays and books have had a large popularity in these later years. For a long while Mr. Wheeler had been out of the bustling field of daily journalism. He had given up the work of dramatic criticism and wrote in seclusion under his new pseudonym. Jt is not too much to pray that his fame will live in his later books, the authorship of which is now revealed. These were "A Journey to Nature," "The Making of a Country House" and "Tangled l'p in Beulah Land." He had lately dramatized "Tangled Up in Beulah Land." He also wrote another play from which it was his intention in time to write a novel, thus reversing the usual order in which "novel plays" and "play novels" develop. His last novel. "The Con quering of Kate," Doubleday, Page fc Co., will issue within the month. The success of his novels seems to tie of the lasting sort. While be lived he did nothing to satisfy the curiosity about the personnlity of their author, but prrferred to be known only through his books. Albert Sonnichsen, the author of "Deep Sea Vagabonds." was born with the de sire for adventure in his blood and de clares that the love for wandering is he reditary quite as much as the love for art and things similar. "My forbears were such gad-abouts," he says, "that it would be a wonder of wonders if I also did not like to be moving around the world.

Violoncello obligato by Mr. Carl Brueckner. It will be remembered that the Erin nves (or Eumenides) of Greek myth oiogv were the three goddesses, Alecto, Tis'iphone and Megaera, whose duty it was like that of the avenging goddess. Nemesis and the Latin Furies, to con stantly haunt and punish, through hid den means, those who defrauded Justice or escaped public retribution for their crimes and misdeeds. They were emis saries of Fate and, like the Norns of Norse mythology, controlled the threads of destinv. Their heads were encircled by serpents and their entire aspect was terrifying and altogether appalling. Massenet's Suite is a selection, for con cert performance, of several movements of the music which he wrote for Le Conte de Lisle's Antique Tragedy, "Les Erlnnves;" and. although one of this composer's earlier efforts, it has always been regarded as one of his best works. Le Conte de Lisle was a profound stu dent of ancient literature, whose en thusiasm led him to compose two works for the stage, of which this one (the first) was finished in 1872 and brought out during the following year at the Odeon. Paris, with Massenet's musical settings. INTERMISSION. Symphonic Poem, "Phaeton," Saint-Saens Born October 9, 1S35, at Paris. As a key to the programme of this composition it may be well to give the following summary: "Helios rises in the morning from the ocean to guide the tire breathing steeds of the shining sun-chariot through the sphere of heaven. At night he again sinks into the ocean in the west and rides in a golden boat around the north ern hemisphere to the east, where his gorgeous palace lies. One day his son, Phaeton, an ambitious youth, prevailed, on his father to allow him to drive the chariot; but his arms were not strong enough to bridle the wild steeds, which tore along, now above the road, scorch ing heaven and then below it, endanger ing the earth: until Jupiter, in order to ave the universe from destruction, was compelled to kill him with a thun derbolt. Phaeton foil in the river Eri danos. There his sisters mourned over him." Solo Miss Mabelle Crawford Funeral March of a Marionette Gounod Born June 17, ISIS, at Paris. Died Octo ber 17, 1SS3. at Paris. This droll composition by one of France's most distinguished writers, is mentioned as one of the movements of an uncompleted "Suite Burlesque." It has been described as follows: "At the commencement of this move ment it is supposed that two of the mem bers of the troupe have had a fight, in which one of them has unfortunately been killed. The troupe sorrowfully mourn the sad fate of its companion, and organize a party of pall-bearers, which respectfully carry the corpse of their friend to the cemetery. "The procession sets forth, and on the road the troupe converse about the vicissitudes of life, and reflect sadly that it required but one pretty hard knock on the nose to knock the breath out of so talented an artiste! As it js the middle of the summer, and therefore verv warm weather, soma of the troupe begin to rind the way very long ana wearisome, and feel the wnt of slacking their sorrow and their thirst at a tempting roadside tavern. They re- niarK to eacn other that it is not the duty of the livine to die for the dead, but that to enable them to 'bear up they must enter and nartake nf somt. soothing and refreshing fluid. ine refreshment takers enter into various details touching the qualities of the dear defunct. Some good naturedly praise: others (as de rlgueur with the profession) ill-naturedly discuss the merits of their late companion. 'He was a eood fellow.' said one. 'But without much talent!" said another. 'How wei he represented royalty!" said a third. 'A more vulgar looking personaee I never saw." says a fourth. And so on till.i n me neat oi the discussion they forget that the funeral profession has nearly reached the gates of the eemeterv Thpv auicklv resolve to rejoin it, avoiding nuwever, an appearance of undignfiea haste.

Capriccio Italien Tschaikowsky Born May 7. 1S40, at W'otkinsk. Die4 November 6, 1893, at St. Petersburg. This composition in A malor and 6-8 time, Andante un Poco Rubato opens with an introduction which, with a trunmet call and a short modulatory passage, sinks into the subdued accom paniment over which the strings give out a sonorous melody, of a somewhat melancholy nature. After this themt. has been worked over at considerable length, the oboes propose a new one in thirds, which, although essentiallv simple in construction and of a popular character, is forthwith treated in elab orate fashion. As the tempo changes to Allearo 4-4 measure, the violins and flutes make another effort to introduce a melodious theme, but this is speedily swallowed uo in a spirited march move, ment, which at length makes wav for tne reappearance of the somber opening theme. This in turn leads, through Stringendo passage, into a brilliant tar antella movement of considerable length After the presentation f an other sprightly melody in triple rhythm, the concluding Presto sets in over a pro longed organ-point; soon breaking intu another tarantella episode, which bring the movement to a dashing termination. The programme for the Tuesday night concert is as follows: The Theodore Thomas orchestra, Frederick A. Stock, conductor. Soloists: Jenny Osborn, soprano; Mabelle Crawford, contralto; Glenn Hall, tenor; Frank Croxton, basso. Overture, "Jubilee" Weber Born Dec. 18, 1786. at Eutin, Olden berg. Died June 5, 1826, at London. The "Jubilee" overture was composed in 1818 and was first performed at the festival held at Dresden on the 2ith of the same month, in honor of the fiftieth anniversary of the accession of King Frederick Augustus I to the throne ot Saxony. The title itself is a sufficient indication of the nature of this work, which is brought to an enthusiastic con clusion by the introduction of the na tional anthem, "Heil Dir im Sieger kranz" the tune known in England as "God Save the King," and in this coun try as "America." March Movement from Leonore Sym phony Raff Born May 27, 1822, at Lachen. Died June 24, 1882, at Frankfort. This one of Raff's twelve symphonies was composed in 1872 at Wiesbaden, and performed for the first time under the composer's direction at a private concert given at Sondershausen in De cember of the same year. The first public performance took place at Ber lin in October, 1S73; and on the 5th of the following December Mr. Thomas played It for the firE:t time in this coun try at Boston. The work is founded on the celebrated ballad "Lenore" by the German lyric poet Gottfried August Burger (1747-'94.) a gruesome poem which is familiar to the English-speaking public through the translation (or paraphase) of Sir Walter Scott. Bur ger's ballad v.-as written in 1772, and Scott's version was published anony mouslv as "William and Helen" in 1796, together with "The Chase" an "'imita tion" of the same author's otherfamous ballad "The WTild Huntsman." The selection now played the third maroia and 4-4 time assumes pic turesque hue, being a brilliant military movement, in C major, "Tempo di march which the composer tellsus"des .rik fho nassinff by of an army corps Beginning softly in the strings pizzicato the march works up steadily to a resounding climax for the full or chestra aftr which comes an agitated passage (Intermezzo) descriptive of the lovers' passionate farewell. Then the march is repeated, growing softer and softer this time as the troops disappear in the distance. Rhapsodie Hongroise No. 2 Liszt Born October 22. 1811. at Raiding. Hungary. Died July 31, 1886, at Bay- re.r.". -ov,otrn arrant ements exist of this, the mot famous and popular of all ot Liszt's Hungarian Ma:.ici.-"e one now played, which is the work of Karl Muller-Berghaus (Karl Muller. born April 14. 1829 Berghaus being his wife's maiden name), and another made bv the composer with the assistance of Franz Donpler. The rhapsody consists of a slow introductory movement (Tento a capriccio and Andante mesto) and a quicker one (Vivace and Tempo giusto vivace marcato assai) the conventional "Lassan" (Lassu or slow- movement) and "Friska" (Fris! or quickstep) of the Csardas, a Hungarian national dance which derived its title from Csarda, the name of a celebrated place of public entertainment where it was first oerformed.

The work was brought out un der the composer's direction at the Royal ooera house in Dresden on Octo ber IB, 1S4J. The overture opens with the stately pilgrims' chorus, which serves as the usual slow introduction. This is given out at. first as a solemn chant, after ward expanding into a majestic anthem with the melody in the brasses, offset by a weird, passionate counter figure in the violins, which has been mentioned as a motive of evil or temptation. When this has subsided again to pianissimo the main body of the overture besrins abruptly with the Tannhauser motive piyner iven out by the violas and clrvinets, asrainst a tremolo from the violins in their tipper register. The sec ond theme is the impassionated love song which Tannhauser sings at the contest in the Wartburg castle th-; melody coming: in the violins, over an accompaniment scored for the full or chestra (without the trombones). After an elaborate development, in the midst of which is heard the melody of Venus' enticing: song to Tannhauser, the nil prims' chorus is resumed at first softly and solemnly, and then swelling into the mighty paean with which the overture comes to an end. The programme for the Wednesday night concert is as follows: Metropolitan Opera House Orchestra. J. S. Duss, conductor. Nathan Franko, concert master. Soloists: Madame Nor dica, soprano; Edouard De Reszke, basso. Mr. Romayne Simmons at the piano. PART I. Overture. "William Tell" Rossini Born at Pesaro, Italy, Feb. 29, 1792. Died at Ruelle near Paris, Nov. 13, 186S. In "William Tell" Rossini has follow ed the well known legend about the martyr Tell who freed his beloved Switzerland from the oppressing power of the despotic Austrian governor Oes sler. Naturally enough the composer has availed himself of every opportuni ty to introduce local color into his mus ic, and several of these interesting bits also appear in this overture. There are the plaintive shepherd calls and the Al pine storm which are such favorites with a concert audience. Two Movements from "Symphone Pathetique" Tschaikowski Born at Votkinsk, Russia, May 7, 1S40. Died at St. Petersburg Nov. 5-6, 1S03. (2) Allegro Con Grazia. (4) Finale, Adagio Lamentoso. By some, this mar'velously emotional symphony has been chrLstened the "Sui cide Symphony; and this title is oaseel upon the rumor that its composer com mitted suicide. The rumor has never been confirmed, and doubtless this symphony would never have earned the title did it not contain some of the gloom iest and desponding passages in all music literature. The fact remains, however, that Tschaikowski died about one week after its first performance, on which occasion it was conducted by the composer. Even its legitimate subtitle, "Pathetic" was only added to the work after its first hearing. Although the composition was coolly received at its initial performance it has fairly leaped into fame since; and probably durimj the last five years no other work of its class has had so many and such nota ble performances. The first movement of the two played f,ere it is really the second one m te symphony is one of the most charming ones Tschaikowski ever penned. It i. written in a curiously obstinate rhythm that of five-fourth time and at lirst nernlexes the ear not a little. After a few measures, however, the beauty of this odd rhythm becomes manifest, and the ear revels in its unusualness. The charm of its melodic contents is indub itable, and there is no hint of melan cholv until the beautiful trio is rcir-hed. The finale is one huge outpouring of emotion from its impulsive beginning to the wailing end. Oddly enough tne corn poser doubted the effectiveness of thi? tremendous movement a doubt that did not embrace the balance of the work at all. Tet this final movement is now considered by all who reabze the enor mity of its contents, a bit of writing which towers above all else that Tschaikowski has composed. Aria from 'Tl Trovatore."

The composer of these dances his real name by the way is unromantically Ed ward German Jones wrote them, among other numbers, as the incidental music to Shakespeare's play "Henry VIII. As concert pieces they have enjoyed much popularity, "!md rightly so because of their graceful tunefulness. The first one "Morris Dance" is said to have originated from a Moorish dance, at one time popular in France and Spain, called Morisco. It was imported into England and during the reign of Henry VIII especially, was generally liked and danced. Hut it fell from grace under the censure of the Puritans together w ith the "May games and other entice ments unto naughtiness." This former popularity it never regained. PART II. Prelude to "Lohengrin" Wagner Born May 22, 1813, at Lelpsic. Died Fel ruary 13, 1SS3, at Venice. Wagner himself p. ovided an explana tion for the wonderful enchanting and mystic Introduction to "Lohegrln." It is a beautiful word picture and de scribes the sensations intended to be conveyed by the music; that of the magical vision of the Holy Grail as it insensibly descends from the height o heaven to "spread broadcast the suft beams of highest love, like the light ot a heavenly fire that stirs all hearts with the heat of the flame of its everlasting glow." Aria, from "La Juive," (SI La Rigeur,) Haievy Born at Paris, May 27, 179". Died tA Nice, March 17, 1S6Z. M. DE RESZKE. This opera, "The Jewess" still popu lar on some stages is Halevy'a master piece, and at the time of its first pro duction in Paris, 1835. created a sensa tional success. The libretto, by the fa mously clever Scribe, deals with tM religious differences during the early part of the fifteenth century, and its scene of action is laid in Constance. At the time taken for this opera plot the Catholics have been victorious over the Hussites, and Huss is about to be burnt. Then their persecution is direct ed toward the Jews who are ordered to close their t-hops. This order is defied by a rich Jew, Eleazer, who is to be put to death in consequence, when the Car dinal de Brogni Intervenes, saving both the Jew and his daughter, Recha, from death. The aria sung here is the one in which the cardinal defends his own clemency. Dance of "The Sunfeast" (American In dian) Waller The Sunfeast is an important religious ceri-mony among the American Indinnn. It is on this occasion that they parade their worship for the sun by ostentatious cere monies. They bedeck themselves with gaudiest ornaments, wear grimacing masks and accompany their dancing with is much shouting a.s possible. The more seri ous side of the affair is Fhown by the tor tures they inllict upon themselves' during this ceremony especially when the reli gious ecstacy assumes the form of a ma nia. The composer here has striven more for an Indian atmosphere in hia musio than he has tried to confine any distinct Indian tune and very sensibly so for the latter lus.'S its original character directly it is beladen with modern harmonies. Mr. Waller is a young New Yorker, an adopted son of the famous actress and beauty, Mrs. Scott Siddons. He is fa vorably known on this side of the Atlan tic as the composer of the "Ogallallas," an opcratta brought out a few days ago by "The Bostor.ians." Doo.

1G TOPEKA STATE JOUILXAL, SATURDAY EVENING. MAY 9, 1903. Kwjteii5vo (3 LJ assssssB1 I One of the essentials of the happy homes of to-day is a fund of Information as to right living and the best methods of promoting health and happiness. With proper knowledge, each hour of recreation, of enjoyment and of effort may be made to contribute to that end and are of not less value than the using of the most wholesome foods and the selecting of the best medicinal agents when needed. With the well-informed, medicinal agents are used only when nature needs assistance and while the importance of cleansing the system effectually, when bilious or constipated, has long been known, yet until within recent years it was necessary to resort to oils, salts, extracts of roots, barks and other cathartics which were found to be objectionable and to call for constantly increased quantities. Then physicians having learned that the most excellent laxative and carminative principles were to be found in certain plants, principally in the leaves, the California Fig Syrup Co. discovered a method of obtaining such principles in their purest condition and of nresentino- them with pleasant and refreshing liquids in the form most acceptable to the system and the remedy became known as Syrup of Figs as figs were used, with the plants, in making it, because of their agreeable taste. This excellent remedy is now rapidly coming into universal use as the best of family laxatives, because it is simple and' wholesome and cleanses and sweetens the system effectually without disturbing the natural functions and without unpleasant after effects and its use may be discon tinued when it is no longer required. All who would enjoy good health and its blessings should remember that it is the one remedy which physicians and parents well-informed approve and recommend and use and which they and their little ones alike enjoy, because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and its beneficial effects. Syrup of Figs is for sale by all reliable druggists, at the regular price of fifty cents per bottle, in original packages only, having the name of the remedy Syrup of Figs and the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of every package. San Francisco, Cal. New York, N. Y. m AsiiTormorosAL Tt is pot to be denied that a rich old maid, who bus accented her ags sml her F'instrrhoo'i, has about the best of tilings an they go in life. She has. at once, all the financial independence of a man, and the privileges of a '.atron without her incumbrances, and may do pretty much as she chooses in a rieces Pftriiy limited Mate of soci-fy. Miss Ashton belonged to tniy enviable ("lass, and was wont to make the most of her opportunities. Her sister-in-law. ftnd other critics, paid that she abused them, but when they lifted an eyebrow over some quite impossible p?rson or fad she had taken up, ?ho merely rhrugged her shoulders. "At my age, my dear," she would say, "a woman may know anybody, an! bear all there is to ten," whien was one of the reasons, perhaps, that at her house you always -found the most in teresting people people whom you might never meet elsewhere in society, but who were never banal or tiresome. In truth, Miss Ashton's insistcc e on her age was a trifle prematura. IJer 4.i years sat lightly upon her, and only fhowed in a drift of gray in hv abund ant, dark locks, and in giving to eyes find mouth that expression of sympathy and comprehension that is t'.ie final charm to a woman's face. Kor the rest, she had a certain mature luxuriance of liaury that made younger women look sis pale and colorless us a sp'-iiv-r daisy beside a gorgeous fall ehryTinthf mu ri. She. had been one of the women to whom the flowering time of life came late. She had had a starved youth, "without joy, without beauty, or any thing that belonged to her years, pass ed in slavish attendance on an old uncle. Then one day, when site had already prow into a, mature woman, the old man died, and she found herself not only free, but rich beyond her wildest reams. It always seemed to Miss Ashton that fh" was born again, with th chaiige ot fortune, into a new personality, and a new world. She turned her back fin the old life with all its hard and grinding wavs. and with a frank paganism gave herself up to enjoying the hour. Kicil foods, ni-d luxuriant living did for her body what travel and society did for tier mind, and from h.-ivlng been ang ular, unbeautiful, without grace of per son or manner, she suddenly bloomed into a grande dame daring, original, a little eccentric, perhaps, but with a fascination none denied. To enjoy a feast to the fullest, one must have starved. Certainly Miss Ashton drained her cup of pleasure to the very bottom. She had had enough of shadow, she would have nothing more but sunshine. She hated poverty, and she gave with a generous hand to those about her. She adored cleverness, and so she surround ed herself only with those who amused and entertained her, and no social pres tige was great enough to open her doors to a bore. It was in this way she cam? to know David Horton. He did not belong to the great world of fashion. He was merely a poor inventor, shabby as to clothes, but with great thoughts strug gling for expression in his great brain. Shv as a schoolgirl, he was. too. and it took all of Miss Ashton's tact to draw him into her charmed circle. Once there, however, and the barriers broken down by her sympathy, the man showed her his whole soul. He fell into the way of dropping in, in the quiet dusk, at the hour when she was oftenest alone, and. sitting before the big fire in the library, he would tell her of his dreams, his hopes, and aspirations, and disap pointments, while his eyes grew tender, and his voice took on that cadence that a man uses when he talks tothe wo man he loves and trusts. Part of Miss Ashton's power had al ways been that she understood other people and herself. She knew that for the first time in her life le.ve had come to her, in all its beauty and glory. She knew eaually as well, with a woman's intuition, that r)avid Horton loved her. but she was absolutely certain he would never tell of it, or ask her to be hi.i wife. She had so much. He had so lit tle, and his pride would not let him go empty handed as a beggar to the woman he adored. It was then that Miss Ash ton proved that she had the courage of her conviction, and made her resolution. "It isn't as if I had had any spring time of li;'e." she said to herself. "I was cheated out of that, and I will not lnt myself be robbed of my happiness by a mere convention." So that nisht. sitting in his dingy rcom, binding over models and hint: .'lints, David Horton was startled by the apparition of a tall woman, who dropped her rich fur cloak from her shoulders as she entered, and moved slowly toward him. "Miss Ashton!" he cried, "you here!" She sank into a chair with a sudden faintness. "Yes,'' she said, and the shtr added, desperately, "I have a-a friend in trouble, and I wanted your advice. I have come to tell you her story. She is not a young woman, and she has had a sad life, and has been very lonely. Al ways she has hungered and thirsted for companionship, without finding it. Late ly something beautiful has come into her life. All the comprehension and un derstanding of which she dreamed. It is love. David, and she loves, not like a silly schoolgirl, with a passing fancy for any handsome face, but with all the great love and passion of a woman wh'i knows life, and has found her heart's desire. Something has happened that makes her afraid she might lose this companionship, and she is in "sore trouble and anxiety. When one has found a oriceless jewel one wants to keer it, doesn't one?" "Yes," the man answered her, with white iips. and Miss Ashton hurried on, as if she were afraid to stop: "The barrier between them is so flimsy, David, just a little money, a lit tle false position in society and yet the woman is beating her heart up against it, and bruising and breaking it. Per haps the man doesn't understand. Per haps he doesn't realize how cruel it is to sacrific her to his pride. David, what shall she do?" The man was trembling in every nerve. "It is for the queen to give," he said, with his voice breaking over the words, "not for the suppliant to demand. Let her tell him that she loves him." "Oh. David, you stupid." she cried, holding out her hands to him. "I have. 1 have," and in a moment more she was in his arms. Hours later. Miss Ashton turned to him a face grown strangely young, and timid, and fair. "David." she said, sol emnly, "if you ever tell I had to propose to you, I'll I'll deny it." Utica Press.

ROBERT ISAAC FINNEMORE, Judge of the Katal Supreme Court). BOWSER'S SPUING POEM. It Begins in Ieaco and Ends In a How. Mr. Bowser had a preoccupied air when he came up to dinner the ether evening. Mrs. Bowser was quick to notice it, and she was wondering whether he was thinking of buying a new milch cow or of making an arti ficial lake in the back yard, but she asked no questions. During the dinner hour he seemed to be far away, far away in his thoughts so much so that he sweetened his cot fee with a couple of olives, but when it was finished he got pencil and paper and sat down to the sittins room ta ble and prepared for business. "Is there anything on your mind this evening?" asked Mrs. Bowser, after he had wasted ten minutes without writing a line. "Nothing very particular," he replied. "I got notice today that I had been elected a member of a certain club, and that I would be required to write and read a poem." "What club is it?" "The Spring Lambs." Mrs. Bowser laughed outright at the name, and he put on his sternest look and demanded: "Do you see anything so very funny in that?" She did. The idea of Mr. Bowser, with his 180 pounds of fat and his stiff knees, gamboling around with the Spring Lambs, struck her as highly ludicrous, but she checked her laugh and sobered her face and said: "Well, have you started the poem?" "I am just going to, and I want no interruptions from either you or the cat." A hush fell upon the room at once. Even the cat held her breath as Mr. Bowser rubbed his bald head and be gan writing. In five minutes he was red in the face and hitching around as if in pain, and at the end of fifteen minutes he observed: "Well, here is the first verse. It don't exactly suit me. but I guess it is good enough. Listen: "The gentle spring is here again. Again the grass and flowers; Again we hear the robin sing And sit in balmy bowers." "How do you like it?" "There is plenty of sentiment there," replied Mrs. Bowser, "but I would change the last line. There are no balmy bowers until late in June, any one sitting around would get cold in the head. I should make that line read: 'And dodg the thundre showers." "It will read just as it does now. There's harmony between spring lambs and balmy bowers. I suppose you'd get a laundry or a cabbage patch into the verse if you could." The next verse compelled him to saw wood until the sweat ran down his cheeks, and his heroic efforts brought looks of admiration from the cat. He cut out and wrote in and crossed out, but it was finished at last, and there was a look of triumph in his eye as he said: "Here is verse, number two, and you can tell me how it strikes you. "I hear the cuckoo's plaintive notes I hear the bluebird trilling; I see the honey bee at work. And Nature is a-thrilling." "You appear to Increase in senti ment," replied Mrs. Bowser, "but I would also suggest a change in this verse. Can't you get in that the honey bee is working for a shilling, or that the geese are cooing and billing?" "That's about what I expected from you. In your jealousy you'd be glad to have me spoil this- thing and make a laughing stock of me, but I don't pro- I W hup mmmi! a v; i! Physical strength is derived from food. If a man has insufficient food he loses strength. If he has no food he dies. Food is converted into nutrition in the stomach. It depends on the strecgr M the stomach to what extent food eaten is digested and assimilated. People can die of starvation who have 'fcwdant food to eat when the stomach and its associate organs of digestion and nutrition do not perform their duly. Thus the stomach is really the vital organ of the body. If the stomach is "weak" the body will be weak also, vocause it is upon the stomach the body relies for its strength. And as the body considered as a whole is made up of its several members and organs, so the weakness of the body as a consequence of "weak" stomach will be distributed among the organs which compose the body. If the body is weak because it is ill-nourished that physical weakness will be found in back and knees, in hands and feet equally. So also win the weakness be equally distributed among the organs heart, liver, kidneys, etc., being proportionately weak according to the amount of the reduction of their daily ration of nutrition. 3 If then no man is stronger than his stomach and physical strength is created in the stomach and distributed from it, the very first question that a weak man should ask is, "What is wrong with my stomach?" If there are weak lungs, the condition also points to "weak stomach. All physicians know that the cure of consumption is but a question of nutrition. If you can put flesh and fat on the body the lungs will take care of themselves. The one thing which baffles the physician in the cure of lung and other diseases is "weak" stomach. If the stomach was strong he'd feel sure of a cure. In fact, then, any condition of physical weakness at once suggests weak stomach. When the stomach is made strong, the whole body regains strength and every organ of the bodv, heart, liver, lungs kidneys, etc., shares in this newly gained strength. It is because Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition that it gives strength to the whole body. When the weak stomach is made strong bv Golden Medical Discovery then food is perfectly digested and assimilated, the nutrition derived from food is'distributed to the several organs of the body, and the "weak" heart which was weak because it was not well fed becomes strong again. So with the weakness of the other organs of the body, it is cured when the stomach is cured. PLAIN TALK about yurself in P'a'n English.

After I had been married about for months I felt m health generally decline. I seemed to lose the light step ana drafnred along wearily instead. My appetite failed me and 1 lost health and strength. I was nervoris and had shooting pains through my limbs and stomach while bearing down pains and constant headacres added to my misery. The menstrual flow became more and mre profuse and I was unfit to attend to my daily duties. My husband called in three different physicians and I took medicine enougu to kill or cure a dozen women, but it all had no effect on me whatever, until I toot Wine of Cardui. In a few days I felt a change for the better, my general health improved and at the next time of my periods my Bow was more natural and I was in less pain. Gradually i recovered my health and strength and am now m perfect health. I take an occasional dose of Wine of Cardui which keeps me well. I am happy to give you this endorsement. it J V Wine of Cardui brought Mrs. Ricker good health. That is why she. has so much faith in it that she never is without Wine of Cardui in her house. The first months following marriage are full of peril for the young wife and a dose of Wine of Caraui every day is a great reinforcement to her strength. Why don't you try for the same health ilrs. Kicker has? It is easy to secure if you take Wine of Cardui according to directions. Wine of Cardui strengthens weak and worn-out women of any age and assists the mother and housewife to bear her exacting duties, it is a gTeat strain to give birth to children and to perform housework, but Wine of Cardui makes women fit for all the duties of womanhood. It will relieve the pains of irregularity, cures falling of the womb, leucorrhoea, ovarian troubles, and has been known to remove what phy sicians considered dangerous tumors.
