Tenth avenue west. Distrust of the Stranger. In our vigorous, progressive western life the man who refused to grease his wagon wheels would be looked upon as a sloven who deserved the additional hard work and bankruptcy that would evenually fall upon him. Personal courtesy in internal trade and foreign commerce may be fairly considered as corresponding to the lubricants that make a. dray move more easily. Do we use enough of it? A prominent eastern banker who was deeply impressed with the natural ad vantages and assured future of Seattle said when asked as to what had most impressed him on the Pacific coast: "The bad manners of your business men." Being pressed for a more definite statement of the charge, he said: "From Los Angeles to Seattle X have met a spirit of suspicion that in the-east we should regard as insulting. There is a brusqueness in meeting a man who comes with the best of bank references that fairly staggered me until I became hardened to it. Of course, I realize that a large number of swindlers infest a new country such as this, but isn't it rather a mistake to assume that every man is a scoundrel and to treat him as such?" Is there not much truth in these re marks? Every honest man rather likes the blunt straightforwardness of the west, but there is by no means so uni versal an admiration of our badly con cealed distrust of the stranger. It is quite possible for a man never to buy a gold brick and at the same time never to assume that one is being offer ed to him. Seattle Post-Intelligencer. WANTS $25,000,000. Latest Demand of Colombia in Panama Canal Deal. New Tork, Oct. 19. Ismael Enrique Aroiniegas of the Colombian diplomatic service has arrived in this city on his way to Washington with special dis patches containing instructions for Dr. Thomas Herran. the Colombian minis ter, concerning the Panama canal treaty. He also is the bearer of the text of the amendments to the treaty made by the senate of Colombia and President Marroquin. The only condition on which th Colombian government is now prepared to conclude the pending treaty, he said, is the payment of $25,000,000 by the United States for the advantages it would receive and an agreement to let the territory remain as a part of Colom bia. 'There are just as strong advocates of the canal in my country as in the Unit ed States," he said. "In fact, everybody understands that it would be some ma terial benefit to us and that the rela tions into which it would bring us with such a great country as the United States would be of great use to a small country, such as our. The people want it, have wanted it for a long time, and know that they will get it some day. "However, there is a pretty general feeling that the United States will gain a great deal more out of this canal than we, not only in the long run but from the very start, so it is urged that whil we should not exactly drive a sharp bargain, we should look out for our own interests. Tou can't blame anybody for doing that. "Should the United States refuse to accept our terms, we shall simply wait until she gets ready. We should gain by waiting, since she Is at the present time willing to pay the French company something like $40,000,000 for their fran chise. That expires in six years, and reverts, of course, to us. But In waiting we should not consider the offers of any other country to build the canal, since we feel that the United States is about the only one which would stick to its treaty after it made one." Washington, Oct. 19. Minister Beau pre. at Bogota, has informed the state department that the Colombian govern ment is still considering the canal ques tion; that the committee having the mat ter in charge has submitted a report urjon the concession to the Panama Canal company from 1904 to 1910. The dispatch is ambiguous and the depart ment cannot say whether the committee has recommended the invalidation of the concession and a return to the company of $1,000,000, which was paid for it or whether it favors confirming their con cession. The report is to be printed and discussed in the Colombian congress next week. The Colombian government Ijaving intimated that it desired to re new negotiations for the construction of a canal, this government will not act until it has been determined that a rea sonable time has been given the govern ment at Bogota to formulate and pre sent a proposition.

SPOILED CHILDREN Usually Make Sickly Men and Women The "spoiled" child usually makes a weak, sickly man or woman because such a youngster has its own way about diet and eats and drinks things that are unfitted for any stomach and sickness results. "I was always a delicate spoiled ehifd and my parents used to let me drink coffee because I would cry for it," says a Georgia young woman: "When I en tered school my nervousness increased and my parents thought it was due to my going to school so they took me out again. But I did not get any better and my headaches got worse and weak ened me so that 1 was unfit for any duty. Sometimes I would go a whole day without any other nourishment than a cup of coffee. "Last spring I had a bad' attack of the Grippe and wrhen I recovered I found that coffee nauseated me so I could not drink it and even a few swallows would cause a terrible burn ing in my stomach. It was at this time that a friend who had been much benefited by the use of Postum sug gested that I try this food drink. I found it simply delicious and have used it ever since and the results speak for themselves. I have gained 12 pounds and my nerves are as steady as any one's. "I consider myself well and strong and I make it a point now to take a cup of Postum with a cracker or two as soon as I come home from school in the afternoon. Postum with crackers or a biscuit makes my luncheon. It certainly saved my life for I know coffee would have killed me in time had I continued drinking it. "I have a young girl friend, a stenog rapher, who declares nothing strength ens and refreshes her like Postum and she has a little oil stov;e in her office and makes a cup of Postum at noon time. I have recommended this won derful beverage to many of my friends who know what it has done for me." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

A bold daylight robbery was com mitted at 7:30 Sunday morning, and Mrs. Benjamin Dustin, of.. 228 North Chandler street, was relieved of $70 in bills. The robbery was committed by a slender black negro, who seized Mrs. Dustin Just as she came out of her coal house with a bucket of coal, tore open the bosom of her dress and snatched the roll of money which was sinned inside. Mrs. Dustin's husband had gone to visit relatives in St. Joseph, Mo. He left Saturday, leaving Mrs. Dustin alone. Saturday night a lady who lives next door staved with her, and when they arose Sunday morning the neigh bor went home to get breakfast. Mrs. Dustin had r laced the money beneath her pillow the night before, and when she dressed pinned it inside her wrap per. It is thought by the police that the negro had approached the house, knowing that her husband was gone, fpr the purpose of robbery, and had been standing outside the window when she dressed and saw her place the roll of bills inside her dress. Shortly after the neighbor left the house Mrs. Dustin went out to the coal house. When she came out with the coal, she set it down to lock the door, and at that Instant the negro jumped through a little gate leading Into the aney ana seized ner. His mode of at tack proved that he knew just where to rind the money. Seizing her by the col lar of her dress with both hands he tore the garment open, snatched the roll and ran. Mrs. Dustin screamed and at tracted the attention of neighbors, but none of them reached the scene in time o see the negro. Mrs. Dustin was so frightened that she failed to note any details of the negro's, appearance, but says he was slim and black. The police were notified soon after-fhe occurrence, and Officers Lucas and Hen derson went down to investigate. Gath ering what details they could thev se cured a buggy and drove to Grantvill. They had been told that two negroes were seen going m tnat direction, and they suspected that the robber was one of them. They traced the two negroes down there, ana caught them about half way back to town. They proved to be men well known to the officers who had been down there to visit relatives, and they had no trouble in proving their whereabouts at the time of the robbery. Several negroes are under suspicion, but no arrests have been mace. K. C. CATTLE SHOW. It Opens With Over 5,000 Ani mals on Exhibition. Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 19.

Tho curtain hanger was busy put ting the new shades on the wjrvdows in the room at 108 West Eighth street, into which the Webster-Tulloch coal company was moving its office. On the other side of the room is the office of Hulse the florist. "I understand," said the curtain hanger, "why thay moved the florist offlec In here with the coal oflice."

Ferryboats, With Thousands on Board, Crashed Together. San Francisco, Oct. 19. Endanger ing the lives of thousands of passen gers, the Southern Pacific ferry steam er Newark crashed into the ferry steamer Oakland in the middle of the bay during a dense fog. The Newark struck the Oakland aft the paddle box, tearing a hole in her side.but fortunate ly not damaging her machinery. The Newark, came out of the wreck with her rails carried away at the bows. The deck near the apron was cut deeply by the Oakland's side. Owing to the dense fog on the bay the boats were doing double service, the crowd on each steamer being dou ble in consequence. On the Oakland the excitement was greater than on the Newark. The force of the blow was such that the boat listed at least twenty degrees. After this lunge to starboard the Oakland re covered, but rolled to port when the Newark backed her engines and got clear. As the Oakland rocked on the water after the crash the crowd on the lower and tipner decks rushed back and forth in a fury of fright. Women fell in fainting fits or went into hysterics on the injured steamer. On the upper deck several women rushed to the rail to leap overboard, but were held back by the men. Racks containing cork jackets were torn down through the whole length of the Oakland's lower deck. On the Newark the passengers were more easily restrained, that vessel not feelins the force of the collision as much as the Oakland. Fortunately, in the crisis the officers of the steamers remained cool. While the captains and pilots stood at their posts in the wheelhouses and extricated the boats from their position, the mates and deckhands, with presence of mind, went about urging and persuading the crowd that there was.no real danger. It was found to be almost impossible to restrain the more excited persons, who let their fears run away with them. During the half hour that followed the crew had to stand ready, fearing that any moment some foolish passenger might try to leap into the water. But, despite the black fog, so dense the pilots could scarcely see the flagpoles, both boats finally reached the slips on this side of the bay. CHANUTES LAST PLAN. Makes School District Which Includes All Colored Fnpils. Chanute. Kan.. Oct. 19. The school board here has rescinded its action in regard to separate schools for colored pupils. The board met and moved the action taken last July to separate the white and black scholars be rescinded. and then directed and ordered Superin tendent Royster to draw such boundary lines as he decided necessary to separate children of different buildings and to make such assignments of chilaren to buildings as he considered to be to the best interests of the schools. It further ordered that no child now enrolled shall be allowed to transfer from one building to another without special permit from the superintendent. A careful study of the order will show that the territory specified includes all the colored families in town with but one or two exceptions. Those outside will probably be sent to the First ward building on assignment. PREACHES AT SOCIETY. Dr. Porter Tells Newportera of Their Shortcomings. Newoort. R. I.. Oct. 19.

Hook to set for the November term at Topeka the trial of the seven remaining federal penitentiary mutineers who are under indictment on the charge of mur dering Guard Waldrupe. The November term opens on November 23. The govern ment attorneys are anxious to dispose of the trial as soon as possible and it is not anticipated that Judge Hook will demur against setting it for the coming Topeka term. Unless Judge Hook's successor is ap pointed before that time Judge Klner, who presided at the, trial of the five mutineers who were convicted at Leavenworth last week, will preside at the Topeka term. Much the same evidence that was brought out- in the trial of the first five will be used against the seven who are still to be tried. Ten men are included in the remaining indictment, but two were never re captured, while a third is dead, having been killed while making an effort to es cape from the Leavenworth penitentiary. Gus Parker, one of theh four men who started the mutiny, is among the seven The others are Jas. Wilson, Lol Souther land, Donald Norle, David Grayson, Ole Bobo and R- L Davidson. J. H.

KOHL CANNOT BERRIED. Original Papers in His Cass Were "Lost" Judge Hazen decided this morning in the district court that C. W. Kohl can not be tried on the charge of selling liquor illegally on copies of the original papers, which were lost. Kohl was arrested by the police on the charge of selling liquor illegally at his drug store. He was convicted in police court and he appealed the case to the district court. After the case had been appealed and the papers from the police court were filed with the clerk of the dis trict court, all the paperes fn the case mysteriously disappeared. City Attorney Spencer had copies made of the original papers. Then Kohl's attorney set up the plea in tho district court that Kohl could not be tried on copies of the original pa pers substituted -for those lost. Judge Ha zen decided that Kohl could not be tried on papers substituted. City Attorney Spen cer at once announced that he would now file a new complaint and the court will be asked to legally sanction the new papers. CURIOUS JACK-IN-ARMOR. His Duty Is to Announce the Com mencemsnt of Church Service. Several of the old towns on the Suf folk, England, coast can boast of a jack-of-armor. One of the best is at Southwold, that quaint, old-fashioned seaside resort, now trying to burst from its chrysalis stage into a fashionable butterfly seaside resort. Some years ago the jack used to stand outside the church on a bracket over the western arch, and as each hour came round on the clock he struck his hatchet against the bell to announce the time. The old lack of carved oak weathered many a storm outside the building, un til some wise person, seeing that he was being gradually worn away, suggest-Jd his being preserved inside the edifice. The Southwold jack-in-armor is a curious looking personage. He stands about three feet high, and at the present moment holds an exalted position near the beautifully carved and painted old screen. He is perched well on high, so he can be seen by most of the congre gation, to whom he now announces the commencement of the service. When the clergy are ready to leave the vestry the string which goes down jack's right arm is gently pulled, and his arm begins to move up and down, striking the bell as it does so with jack's hatchet, placed for the purpose beside the figure. He makes a considerable noise, and strangers in the congregation are somewhat startled at so unusual a disturbance if not prepared beforehand. The interesting little figure is painted dark green, relieved here and there with gold. His dress is of armor, and he wears big gauntlet gloves. In the IcfX hand he holds a sword. His helmf-.t comes well down ovrr his brows, and his ears are protected by the projecting sidepieces. .He does not aspire to a vi zor, but his" helmet is studded with big nails. He has a nice, kindly face, a lit tle flattened at the nose and mouth through long ages, for even wooden jacks will not wear forever. At one time many of the Suffolk churches boasted a jack, but today these queer little gentlemen are rare. London Queen. Kept the Secret. A well known uptown man, a lover of fine horseflesh, saw a fine buggy horse which he thought he wanted. He located the owner and asked the price. "One hundred dollars," was the eply. After looking the animal over and trying her speed he concluded it was a good trade, and wrote out a check for the amount. The next day he found that the mare was blind, but this did not hinder her speed or detract from her general appearance. He drove the ani mal for several weeks and succeeded in attracting the attention of another lover rf horses, who made a proposal to buy. "Well," said the owner, "I gave $100 for her, but I'll let you have her for 1125 if you want to Buy. Alter looKing ner over ana raiting a short ride behind her the man decided to buy. He paid over the money and took the mare. When- the animal was unharnessed the first thing she did was to run against a post: then, by way of emphasizing the fact that she was blind she fell over a barrel. The next day the buver came back- with blood in his eye. "Say, you know that mare you sold me?" he beean. Vv ell, she s stone blind." "I know it," replied her paEt owner, with an easy air. "Well, you didn't say anything to me SURE PILL,: ACHES. "General Charles Dick, the eminent con gressman from the famous Garfield dis trict of Ohio, says: "I believe there is no remedy so efficient for headache as Dr. Miles' Pain Pills." Wm. B.
