PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS. He Calls the Tottering Indus trie Trusts the Tares In the Harvest Field of Our Commercial Prosperity. Ban Francisco, Oct. 21. The actual buwitAKS of the twenty-ninth annual convention of the American Bankers' association began this morning when the delegates assembled in the Califor nia theater. The auditorium of the theater was comfortably filled. The theater and stage were handsomely decorated with flowers, evergreens and firms. President Cardwell Hardy, in calling the convention to order, said: "The unprecedented prosperity of the past few years brought us last fall to a climax of high prices for commodi ties and securities. The same sunshine hich brings to its full fruition our rich harvests also fosters the tares. So among' the substantial ediSces of our prosperity have sprung up artificial commercial structures which have failed signally to stand the test of time. Over-sanguine people, some probably not over-scrupulous, had been capital izing and recapitalizing schemes of all kinds and inducing people with paper rrofits to underwrite notations which they were unable to carry. The boom had rone too far, the natural reaction set in, and a general house cleaning begun where it was most needed, in the weeding out of over-capitalization and inflated securities. "We have gone through a period of liquidation in speculative circles of the roost drastic character, without results except to the few who have gotten too far beyond their depth. The procer.s is not yet complete, and the way is still strewn with cripples and 'indi gestible' securities, but general business conditions are 6ound. "T,et us review briefly the attitude and relation of some of our banking in stitutions to the conditions and inci dents referred to. and the methods pur sued by them in the prosecution of their business. I refer especially to the vicious policy of paying rates for de posits, particularly savings and time deposits. If there is any class of men more than others who should never take speculative risks, it is those who me handling the earnings and sa-ings of other", an? the seeking- of deoopits et high rates of interest, which can rnly be earned by speculative invest ments, is a menace to sound banking. Pavings depositors should carefully shun such institutions, of which there are, however, happily but few. "The vast majority of us feel assured we have, so far. all the currency we have needed and that an increase of it, Just at this time would lend a further unuesiranie stimulus to speculation. The enormous production of gold in the last few years has been either lost sight of or if studied will furnish food for thought. The advantages claimed for the bank circulation of ether countries, over our bonds secured not.?s, have much merit from a scientific standpoint" if the element of risk could be ellml rsted which has brought disaster in feme instances. The practical question is, could it be satisfactorily grafted on to our banking system, and, if so, how? The idea of a 'cer tral bank or a branch banking system is repugnant to our con ception of free government and institu tions, and, unless I mistake the temper f our people, will never be accented. Neither will any form of currency be ac cepted which does not carry with it the same confidence of security which our bank notes now enjoy. "A consideration of our present de velopment and conditions would not b complete without reference to our cor porations of the present day. "In the formation of our great indus trial corporations, we have been con fronted with new and strange condi tions. Eliminating those of a fraudu lent or fictitious character, nearly all of them have been subject to criticism In the matter of capitalization, and the weak point with all of them has been the failure to provide a reasonable working capital. "There has been a greater creation of securities in the consolidation of many of our railroads than actual values, ap parently, justify, but the consolidation of management and control has brought about a stability of rates, which has created an established value for their legitimate securities without hardship to the patrons of the roads. It is a ser ious question whether the aggregate jnarket value of all our railroad secur ities equals the amounts originally ex pended in the construction of them with even a moderate return upon the investments." "The reduction of the cost of trans portation has made it possible to move profitably at rates which would have formerly considered impossible I do not mean to suggest that the roads should be left entirely free in the mat ter of fixing rates, but the reasonable concentration of their management should rather facilitate their control in this respect by conservative legislative enactment. The enormous increase of business developed by our prosperous condition has so overtaxed exciting fa cilities as to necessitate extensive im provements, which have brought the roads into the market with borrowings which have seriously taxed our resour ces, but. where these improvements have been undertaken on a legitimate basis, there is apparently little reason to tipprehend any difficulty in carrying them to a successful completion and utilization. "A word on publicity as it relates to 11 public corporations. Some criticism has recently been made of the publica tion of the weekly New York bank ptatement. I use the incident merely to point a moral. The form and method of making this statement has been more or less a subject of discussion for some time past. If the form and method of publication is not as accurate as it should be, make it what it should be. but do not suppress it. The publication, occasionally, of an individual bank statement, which it subsequently devel ops is not legitimate, would be a poor excuse for the suppression of bank statements in general and I think a suggestion that we do away with bank statements would be unanimously ve toed, Bank statements in general con vey fair and intelligent information as to the status of the banks, and if the same publicity from other corporations could be required, a most important ser vice would be rendered the public. '"In reviewing the various subjects touched upen, I have not hesitated to criticise where I have felt it necessary and to display a danger signal where it seemed to be required, but while coun seling conservation, T would not have you count me a pessimist. "Let us turn our faces to the bright future of our country and our associa tion. "When the rising sun today first touched the easternmost border of our country it lookad down upon the richest and most prosperous nation in the world, and when tonight it shall have cast its last rays on the golden gate, it will leave behind the most enlighten ed and. progressive people it has ever shone upon." Right Rev. William Ford Nichols, bishop of the Kpiscopal diocese of Cali fornia, then invoked a divine blessing upon the gathering. Following the roll call, Kugene E. Schmitz, mayor of San Francisco, made an address extending a hearty welcome to the distinguished visitors and he wasi followed by Governor Geo. C. Pardee. Another address of welcome was made by James D. Phelan, on behalf of the San Francisco bankers. President Hardy made a brief re sponse to the messages of good will ard hospitality, and then the meeting settled down to the work for which it had assembled. Secretary Branch read his report and was followed by George F. Orde, the treasurer. OUT ON THE HILLS. Troops at Fort Kiley Are Play ing at Mimic Warfare. Ft. Riley, Kan., Oct. 21. Five sep arate exercises made up the maneuvers for the day. all being similar in char acter. In each case a national guard regiment marched out from camp, formed an outpost and then was at tacked by detachments of the regular troops. The Texas regiment took up its position on the hills, near a little stream of water known as Three Milo creek, and. was attacked by the Sixth infantry. The Missouri regiment took a position north of the maneuver camp with its left resting upon Morris kill, a promontory that commands all the country in its vicinity. The Twenty first regular Infantry under Colonel Kline made things interesting for the national guard at this point. The Nebraska regiment in another part of the reservation held its position against the attack of the Fourth cav alry and in the woods along Three Mile creek, the Iowa regiment mixed up with the Tenth cavalry. The Kansas regi ment under General Hughes operated as a brigade and took up a position on the hills south of the reservation where it fought off the Eighth cavalry. AH of the national guard regiments were supported by artillery, the attacking regulars having none of it. -Tle opera tions of the national guard were super vised by the military umpires, wno lent all possible assistance to them in select ing their ground and receiving their at- General Young, chief of staff of the army, and General lan Hamilton, of the English army, were expected to arrive today, but General Young, who had promised advance information of his arrival, had sent no message at tne time the troops marched out to the ma neuvers this morning. VISIT OF GOVERNOR BAILEY. Fort Riley. Kan.. Oct. 21. A visit to General Bates by Governor Bailey, of Kansas, and the bursting of a steam connection between a dynamo supplying light for the officers' mess tent and the boiler were the most stirring events or Tuesday at Camp Sanger. The former was the more impressive, mil tne latter bore off the palm for excitement. Governor Bailey attended by his staff arrived at camp headquarters about 3 o'clock. He had been met at the depot by a squadron of cavalry which escort ed him to and from the camp. General Bates attended by all the officers of his staff was awaiting the governor, and af ter greetings had been exchanged, the entire party visited the tent of General Bates. The governor, after a short stay with the general returned to his car riage and was driven to the camp of the Kansas troops, where he was re ceived with all the military honors due his rank. Tie steam connection between the dynamo and the engine parted shortly after 3 o'clock and produced a violent sizzling sound that threw the colored waiters and cooks into a panic. The big mess tent radiated violently excited col ored gentlemen for a few minutes, all of them fleeing, as they thought, for their lives. The day was barren of incident as far as military matters were concerned. Drills were held in the evening and the afternoon was devoted to lectures on medical hygiene and discussion of the military problems presented by the maneuvers already held. During the afternoon Governor W. J. Bailey and his narty arrived at Camp Sanger. Thev were received by a big turnout and the covernor received a salute of seventeen guns as he came into the camp. The party is composed of Governor and Mrs. W. J. Bailey, Col. and Mrs. H. N. Loomis, Chief Jus tice and Mrs. W. A. Johnston, Justice and Mrs. Pollock, Mr. and Mrs. Frank P. MacLennan and Col. D. R. Anthony. Probably a thousand visitors were at the camp. The Tooeka and Kansas City parties that are guests at Eureka Lake this week drove to the camp, and about 500 excursionists came from the western part of the state. Every day excursions are being run from different parts of the stHte to the camp. Sat urday will be the big day for visitors. During the forenoon of that day there will be a review of the entire maneuver division close to the big camp. In the afternoon there will be races and ath letic sports at Fort Riley park, and in the evening close to the park there will be a 20-round boxing contest. Field Case Is Closed. Washington, Oct. 21. Attorney Gen eral Knox today decided to advise the president not to reopen the case of United States Marshal Field of Ver mont, recently dismissed for neglect of duty in connection with the escape of three Chinamen who were beins de ported to China. The decision was reached after a hearing was given the Vermont delegation in congress, who urged reconsideration of the case. Gas Ken Sleet. Detroit, Mich., Oct. 21. The thirty first annual convention of the Amer ican Gas Light association began to.iay. In regard to the next place of meeting, the western members favor St. Uouis. while the eastern delegates want Niag ara Falls. BANKJGLOSES. Federal National, of Pittsburg, in Hands of Keceiver. Had $50,000 of United States Money on Deposit. BUT THREE YEARS OLD Capital, of $2,000,000 and Cir culation of 700,000. Deposits Amounted to Nearly Two Million Hollars. Pittsburg; Pa., Oct. 21. The doors of the Federal National bank were not opened for business this morning. The following notice was posted in expla nation "Closed by the authority of the comp troller of the currency. John B. Cun ningham, receiver." Some such action has been within the possibilities for the past two days, fore casted by the determined raid made up on the institution's stock on the Pittsburg stock exchange. The positive statement, however, of the president, J. A. Langfltt. to the effect that the bank was not in need of money, and that its losses would not affect its capital or sur plus did much toward allaying the dis trust on the part of its depositors thus preventing a run. The closing of the bank was decided upon at a meeting of the directors last nigW which did not break up until 2 o'clock this morning. At that hour none of the officials would make a statement and locally the out come of the meeting was not general ly known until the receiver's notice was posted at 9 o'clock. The bank is a United States deposi tory and reported on hand September 9th. $50,000 of United States deposits. The stock of the company has been sub jected to sharp declines on the Pitts burg exchange this week. On Mondav the stock sold down from 115 to S5, but was forced up again to lOL All day yesterday it sagged and the closing quo tations were SO bid and S3 asked, a num ber of transactions having been made at The course of the stock has attracted much attention, and numerous, adverse reports were in circulation but they were promptly and fully denied by Pres ident Langfltt. He stated yesterday ev ening that the bank had suffered onlv one possible loss, that of $140,0fi0 for which it held notes of the Eastern Tub. company of Dayton, O. That company is in the hands of a receiver and a plan of reorganization is being worked out, he said, and the bank's loss on that ac count may be small. The closing of 'the-Federal National bank had apparently out little effect on the local stock exchange. Trading was light but firm at about yesterday's closing quotations. No dealings in any of the local bank stocks were recorded during the first hour's trading and no unusual action is looked for today. In a general way .banking officials of the city feel confident that the Federal National bank's, troubles will be con fined to itself and will not disturb any other financial institution. Receiver Cunningham thinks it may be two or throe days before he can make a statement of the bank's condi tion. A statement as. to the cause of the failure has not yet been made public. Robert S. Smith, president of the Union National bank and president o the Pittsburg clearing house associa tion, said: "I was assured last night by President Langfltt that every depositor would get every dollar due. It is possible thac some small country banks which do business through the Federal National may be temporarily embarrassed, bui even at that it will be only temporary. J. A. Langfltt, president of the Fed eral National bank in a signed state ment says: "The Federal National bank has finally yielded to the combined assaults of its stockholders and depositors and has closed its doorsuntilarrangements can be made to discharge all depositors claims. The question of reopening will then be decided. "When the business depression came on, the stockholders, from necessity or fear began throwing the stock upon the market. The stock issue was large and the market weak. On groundless rumors our splendid list of depositors took fright and the rapid withdrawal of moneys began and increased until, despite our best efforts, the bank could not longer meet the demands upon it. Last night the directors believing such course to be the proper one under the circumstances ordered the bank to be closed temporarily and requested the ROYAL 5. i faiths. vjt "v i 1 hum a'.ss'- comptroller of the currency to take charge. "Two weeks ago our deposits exceed ed four million dollars and -until yester day, 'when the- floods came,' we had maintained our full legal reserve. "When our doors closed we had ap proximately $1,900,000 of deposits to se cure, which we had on hand in casn, time and demand loans and other good securities, about $4,600,000. This was our condition after having paid out to depositors in addition to current re ceipts and disbursements over $2,000,000 within 15 days in period of generally strenuous financial conditions." Washington, Oct. 21. The acting comptroller of the currency was advised last night that the Federal National bank of Pittsburg would not open for business this morning. He appointed National Bank Examiner John B. Cun ningham, receiver. No details are known at the comptroller's office as to the causes which led to the failure. The bank was chartered November IS. 1901, with a capital stock of $2,000, 000. Joseph A- Langfltt is president and George W. Eisenbea cashier. The following-is 'a statement of the bank's resoureesand liabilities, as shown by the last report of condition to the comptroller of the currency, September !t. 1S03: Resources Loans and discounts, $3, 036,072; overdrafts, $463; United States bonds $S06,652; stocks and securities, etc., $17,500; real estate, $26,849; due from banks-and bankers, $1,130,592: cash and cash items, $675,652.

Total, 7.6!3.782. JOLIET BANK CLOSES. Joliet, 111.. Oct. 21. The Exchange bank, the only institution of its kind at Lockport, closed its doors today, throw ing the town into a state of considerable excitement, as numerous small deposi tors are affected. The bank was capi talized at $25,000. and the deposits are thought to be in the neighborhood of $40,000. The condition of the bank will be made known in a statement to be is sued by the bank inspector. C. H. Ba con, former mayor and state senatoi, is president of the bank, IN THE OLD CATHEDRAL The Funeral of the Late Arch bishop Kain Took Place. St. Louis. Mo.. Oct. 21.--At 10 o'clock to day in thn old cathedral funeral services were conducted over the body of the late Archbishop John J. Kain of this diocese, who died last week in Baltimore. Md. The tinal ceremonies were attended by a vast a.semblag. Cardinal Gibbons celebrated thn lHJntinoal high requiem mass and fivo archbishops and bishops performed the rite of absolution.

Kfan, whir-was a close friend of the deceased, dating back to the time when they were classmates at college, preached the funeral panegyrc. His text was from the first chapter of Ephesians: "For me to live in Christ and to die is gain." With much feeling and eloquence tho archbishop told of their early associations in St. Charles seminary at Baltimore 42 years ago. He also cited the work ac complished by his friend along the Po tomac after the civil war in reorganizing the Catholic congregations that had been disrupted by the civil strife. When Arch bishop Kean had concluded absolution was pronounced over the bier by Cardinal Gibbons and four archbishops and bishops and opportunity was given those assem bled to take farewell view of the remains.

Steamship and Railroad Com panies Notified to Be Readj. NAVAL PREPARATIONS. Ministerial Conferences and the Recent Appointment Of the "Fighting Admiral" to Command Standing Squadron. All Point to the Likelihood of Earij Hostilities. Yokohama, Oct. 21. The ministerial conferences, naval preparations, and notably the appointment of Vice Ad miral Toga, known as a "fighting ad miral." to command the standing squadron, have led to a renewal of the anticipations of trouble. Some decided development in the crisis is xnected shortly. The steamship and railroad companies are reported to have been notified to be "in readiness for emerg encies, St. Petersburg, Oct. 2L A dispatch to the Novoe Vrymea from Vladivos tok under today's date says: "The Japanese government has noti fied its consul here that there is no reason why the Japanese should leave Vladivostock. This was in reply to a auery of the cons"ul on the subject-" London, Oct. 21. A report was in cir culation on the stock exenange today that the negotiations between Russia and Japan had been broken ofE, but the foreign office officials here said they had not heard anything confirmatory of the rumor. This statement was made sub sequent to a visit paid by Baron Hav ashi to foreign Minister Lansdowne this afternoon. The officials of the roreign office added that the report was con trary to the general trend of its Infor mation. London, Oct. 21. A dispatch to Ruet er's Telegram company from Tokio savs "Russian military activity on the Korean frontiers is unabated. The im portant newspapers take a gloomy view. They are inclined to believe that Russia does not intend to fulfill her re peated promises and declarations, in which,, case it will be incumbent on Japan to take decisive steps for the sake of her very existence. The Jap anese gunboat Chiokai was to have wintered at New Chwang. but this ar rangement has been countermanded." FIRST DEGREE MURDER Coroner's Jury in Tutcher Case Makes Its Report. Will Mason and Thomas DeMoss. the two negroes who murdered Fred Tutcner, are charged with murder in the first degree, and will be brought back from Lawrence for a preliminary hearing after the funeral of their vic tim. County Attorney Hungate says there is plenty of evidence to substan tiate a charge of first degree murder, and that the crime was undoubtedly premeditated. "Premeditation" does not necessitate a day or week of careful planning before a crime is committed. It has been clearly shown that the negro. Mason, after drawing his re volver and telling Tutcher that he would kill him, waited for his com panion to get out of the way before firing the shot. Both men will be trie-J as equally guilty. The coroner's jury at the inquest yesterday brought in a verdict to the effect that Fred Tutcher came to his death as the direct result of a gunshot wound, the bullet being fired from a revolver held in the hand of Will Mason. The funeral of Fred Tutcher will be held from the home of his parents, 1249 Polk street, at 3 o'clock Thursday af ternoon. Bv that time his sister Maud, who lives in Spokane, Wash., is ex pected to arrive. Another sister, Mollie Tutcher. has arrived from Denison, Tex. Three other sisters. Jessie. Nellie and Hazel, are at home. There were but two sons in the fam ily, and they both died of gunshot wounds. The eldest son. Will Tutcher. wes amOBg the Americans killed by boxers in China during the war. He wa a soldier in the army which stormed ffekin. EAST. COMING HOME.

In the fourth event of the matinee at the Horse show yesterday afternoon. Dean R. Low of j Topeka fell from the dog cart In whlcn he was driving and his left leg was broken between the ankle and the knee. Mr. Low was exhibiting Dr. John L. Wentz's Lord Gay Boy in the class for single horses in harness for the $100 prize. The horse had been hitched too close to the vehicle and when being driven at a sharp clip the box of the cart slipped down and struck him. DEAN R. LOW. Who was Hurt at the Kansas City Horse Show. With a leap the frightened animal started to run and dashed around the arena at breakneck speed. When it was seen that Mr. Low hart lost control the other drivers urged their horses to the center of the hippo drome and the arena officials and at tendants made a rush ior the runaway. But Lord Gay Boy's speed increased with every second. As the horse round ed the curve near the northwest comer of the building and headed toward the exit at the far end of the hall Mr. Low threw down the reins and jumped. He stumbled as he rose from his seat and landed in a heap on the tanbarK. Lord Gay Boy dashed through the ring, knocked -down the fence gate at the south end of the hall and charged out through the corridor of the build ing into Thirteenth street, still drawing the two-wheeled cart with him. In the street he ptruck E. B. Christie, a vis itor from Kahoka, Mo., knocking him down. The horse crossed the street and was stopped only when he became en tangled with the ropes of the vehicle tent opposite the main entrance of the halL i Mr. Low was lifted from the tanbark j floor by O. P. Updegraff, ringmaster. and some of the judges, and was car ried into the temporary office of Secre tary Ashbrook. Dr. St. Clair Street and Dr. J. F. Binnie attended him, set ting the brcken member. He was then removed to his room at the Hotel Bal timore. Mr. Low is a son of M. A. Low, general attorney of the Rock Island railway. Mr. Christie was attended in I the tent. He was not seriously hurt. his injuries consisting of slight abra sions on the face and contusions on the top of the" head. Lord Gay Boy, the horse which caused tnis sensational feature of the programme, is a handsome animal, which took first prize in the single harness contest of the Toronto, Canada, horse show a few weeks ago. He does not bear so much as a scratch as a re-, suit of his performance yesterday. The dog cart was only slightly damaged. The injury to Mr. Low was pecu liarly unfortunate. He had entered a number of horses in the show and ex pected to exhibit most of them himself. It was Mr. Low's second mishap at a Kansas City horse show. Two years ago while driving a team for W. A. Rule the buggy was overturned and he was spilled upon the tanbark. Luckily he was not injured that time. KILLED BY A FALL Owner of Indianapolis Sentinal Sleets Sudden Death. Indianapolis. Ind..

Says 40 Buildings Are Now Be ing Built for It. HE IS WORKING HARD. Wants to Make the Exhibition a Memorable One. Immense Sums to Be Distribut ed in Frizes. Something of the magnitude of the live stock show which will be held in connection with the St. Louis exposi tion is shown by the fact that the aggregate of the prizes offered exceeds by mora than $50,000 the premium lists on live stock of twelve of the largest state fairs in the country. In addition to the International and Royal stock shows. And this, too, in the face of the fact that the live stock division is the only one in which cash prizes are offered. K. D. Coburn, chief of the live stock, division, Is just home from St, Louis, and he is enthusiastic over the pros pects for the live stock exhibit. Forty buildings or barns are being built for it. and only one class of animals will be on Mhibltion at a time. For in stance, horses and mules will be on ex hibition for two weeks. Then they will go home and cattle will take posses sion of the barns for another two weeks. Then the cattle will disaoDear. and swine, sheep and goats will nave the right of way. And last of all will come the poultry, pigeons, dogs, cats and other net stock. In other words there will be four dif ferent periods of exhibitions, each last ing two weeks, and each time there will be "an entire change of programme" as the show people would say. If the entire exhibit were to be given at once it would require 160 barns, and the earns are each from 200 to 250 feet long and 59 feet wide. A comparison of premium lists was made recently by George W. Stubblefield of Illinois at a meeting of the American Association of Live Stock Herd Book Secretaries, comparing the something more than a quarter of a million dollars offered by Mr. Coburn's department at St. Louis with the prizes offered by the state fairs of Indiana. Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky. Michigan. Minnesota, Mis souri, Nebraska. New York, Ohio. Tex as and Wisconsin, and the International exposition and Royal show at .Kansas .City. The total live stock offerings ot these rourteen great shows, compared with those of St. Louis, are as follows: State World's Itffer Kairs. Kair. ence. Horses 4.4XK.0n !W.H4 $44,152.l Cattle 84.23.S0 64,0.'!0 -H.Wi.iVi Sheep 23.906.50 4S.,vm zi.XKt.rn Swine 24.477.00 32,!Sfi 7.7'KMM Poultry, pig'ns. 13,329.85 15,770 2,44ai5 Totals $195,824.85 $251,35 55.30J.15 The exhibits at the St. Louis exposi tion will set the pace for live stock men in America for the next genera tion, and Mr. Coburn. is determined to make the exhibit a worthy one. The barns which he is preparing will have" atall room for three thousand horses and mules at one time. Following them there will be the same room for three thousand cattle.

Any honest person who suffers from rheumatism is welcome to this offer. For years 1 searched everywhere to find a specific for rheumatism. For nearly 20 years I worked to this end. At last, in Germany, my search was rewarded. 1 found a costly chemical that did not dis appoint m as other rheumatic prescrip tions had disappointed physicians every where. I do not mean that Dr. Shoop's Rheu matic Cure can turn bony joints into flesh again. That is impossible. But it will drive from the blood the poison that causes pain and swelling, and then that is the end of rheumatism. I know this so .well that I will furnish for a full month my rheumatic care on trial. I can not cure all ca3es within a month. It would be unreasonable to expect that. But most eases will yield within 30 days. This trial treatment will convince you that Dr. Snoop's Rheumatic Cure is a power against rheumatism a potent force against disease that is Irresistible. My offer is made to convince you of my faith. My faith is but the outcome of ex perience of actual knowledge. I know what It can do. And I know this so well that I will furnish my remedy on trial. Simply write me a nostal for m v Rheumatism. I will then arrange with a urujijiai in your vicinity so that you can secure six bottles of Dr. Shoop's Rheu matic Cure to make the test.. You may take It a full month on trial. if it suc ceeds the cost to you is J5.60. If it fails the loss is mine and mine alone. It wiil be left entirely to you. I mean that ex actly. If you say the trial is not satisfac tory I don't expect a penny from vou. I have no ka-raplas. Any mere sample that can affect chronic rheumatism must be drugged to the verge of danger. I use no such drugs for it is dangerous to take them, Tou must get the disease out of the blood. My remedy does that even in the most difficult, obstinate cases. It has cured the oldest cases that I ever met and in all of my experience, in all of my 2,uuo lesis, i never iouna another remedy that woum cure one enronio case in ten. Write me and I will send vou the hnnir Try my remedy for a month, for it can't harm you anyway; If it fails the loss is mine.

Jim Jeffries Tells of a Terj Narrow Escape That lie Had on a Hunting Trip in New Mexico. DYNAMITE IN HIS BOAT Severe Lightning Came Near to Striking the Layout. Fitzsimmous to Start Up in Business Soon. Chicago, Oct. 21. "I'll get killed yet on one of those hunting trips," re marked Champion Jim Jeffries to a party of friends. Then Jeff went on to tell of the narrow escape he had only a short time ago while exploring the wilds of New Mexico. He said: I don't believe I was really ever scared before in my life, but I en countered a storm on my last trio that was a dandy. I had an Indian guide with me who was scared to death of lightning. We were out on .the river with our guns when suddenly clouds came up and the thunder roared. The Indian wanted to jumz into the water, but I told him to be auiet. While we were trying to keep the boat from up setting a flash of lightning came up? kthat lighted the sky it. seemed for miles. That w-as enough for the son t of the Plains. We pulled for shore and j laid down on the ground, waiting for j the rain to stop. It never let up that i night, so we had to camp on the wet j ground." "Well, what scared you so?" asked a fiiend. "Oh, nothing; only we had ten pounds j of dynamite in that little boat. I i thought my day had come. That com bination, you knew, would beat all the world champions that ever lived." Bob Fitzsimmons and Jim. Corbett are engaged in a contest for the favor of Jim Jeffries, their friend and con queror. Both want to form a theatrical alliance with the boilermaker. Corbett is saying nice things in New York about the champion, and Fitzsimmons made three efforts to get a conference with Jeffries. Meanwhile Jeffries is taking it easy and has not yet commit ted himself. Fitzsimmons had to leave Chicago for San Francisco without seeing Jeffries. Bob beat a path from the Auditorium to the Stratford but missed his man every time, and hurried out to Cali fornia because he is anxious to begin training for his coming fight with George Gardner. "The matter isn't settled so far as 1 know," said Fitzsimmons. "Corbett has been telling people all over the country what a fine fellow and a good fighter Jeffries i. He's making himself handy at that line of talk because he wants to hitch up and go on the road with Jeffries. "I do not believe Jeffries knows yet what he intends to do. He's a fellow that doesn't decida things more than about two days in advance. "It's up to me to take care of my self. I waited for Jeffries to come to New York. He didn't come and I took the Gardner match. If I can arranges it I intend to cut out the fighting game as soon as I can and go into business. But I will keep on fighting until I get the right kind of in opening. I dropped $XO,000 in a school of physical culture. The claim that my fight with Jeffries was a fake killed that business: My partner got cold feet and the business went down and out. "I want to locate in Chicago. I have been talking with my friends here and there are more or tnem in tms town than in four New Yorks. I will open a buffet here if I can get the opening, but I am not jumping at every old chance." In a Trance to Pick Winners. New York. Oct. 21. The latest thing in race track tipsters has arrived. There is a man over in Krooklyn who picks winners in a trance. He doe it at the suggestion of another man, who ia a hi'Dnotist. and who has discovered that this is the only real, simon-our'. blown-in-the-bottle way of beating the bookmaker. The hypnotist has a repu tation that until now" has been an chored at Red Hook, but it bids fair to wrench itself from its moorings and go sailing over the wide, wide world. This new t'-pster hynrutlzes a subject n.1 invites his attention to the races rhieh are to be run on the following day. The subject obligingly studies the entries, and tnen uescriDes tne races m the order of their occurrence always to the entire satisfaction of the hypno tist, who savs: "I do not play the races myself, but if I did. and played the winners name-1 by my subject while in the trance state. I would soon be rich. If the bookmakers knew that the hypnotist's conscientious scruples were all that stood between them and rum they nrobably would vote Conscientious WILL GIVE GUARANTEE BOND Rowley Snow Gives Signed Agree ment that Mi-o-na Costs Nothing Unless It Cures. Mi-o-na, the remarkable flesh-forming food and cure for dyspepsia, has won immense popularity by the un usual way in which it is sold. With every 50c box of Mi-o-na Fow ley Snow give the following signed guarantee bond, assuring the purchas er that Mi-o-na costs absolutely noth ing unless it increases flesh, cures all stomach troubles and restores heilth. GUARANTEE BOND We hereby agree to refund the price paid for Mi-o-na if the pur chaser tells 'us that it has not in creased flesh and given freedom from stomach troubles. ROWLEY SNOW. This guarantee bond is plain and simple and it positively assures you that when you commence the Mi-o-na treatment you run absolutely no risk. You simply deposit 50c for a box of this flesh-forming food with Rowley Snow, and if after using it you do not feel that you have been benefited, you go back to ttrelr store and thev will return your money without any ques tion or arsrument. It is a true flesh-forming food com bined with elements that regulats the digestive organs and remove congestion and irritation from the stomach, liver and intestines. Mi-o-na will restore firm, healthy flesh, fill in the outlines, and give a pleasing plumpness and symmet'.-,-. Begin its use today with Rowley Snow's guarantee to return the money if Mi-o-na does not do- ail that is claimed for it. Scruples a pension without delay. The hypnotist has not decided just what use i.e will make of his discovery, so t'.iere still is time for the "bookies" to cash in and quit. If he decides to sell his tips, it is easf to see what would hap- "All you have to do," says he, "is to hear my subject describe a race, and go out and put your money on the horse that he saw finish first. Then, if the horse ddes not fall down, or if the jockey does not pull him" and also, if the horse runs fast enough, probab y "you will get all the money." THE CHAMPIONSHIP QUESTION Among Western Two-Tear-Olds Is Still Unsettled. The Western racing season of 1908 will come to a close without having es tablished a colt that is entitled to claim as the champion two-year-old. Seldom nas mere been a year in which iheru was so little to choose among four ot five different performers. Auditor and Proceeds, both of the S. S. Brown sta ble; Peter Paul, "from Virginia, sah;" M. H. Tichenor's Flo Bob, and F. Cook's English Lad, winner of the Hyde Park Stakes, are all close together. On a heavy track Proceeds is distinctly best of this quintet, and easily excels any other youngster in the west, but it is by no means established that he is even their equal on a good track. English Lad has little chance to beat any of the other four at e distance short of six furlongs, but possibly is the best of the quintet at seven furlongs, although all of them are colts of established stamina and none of them to date have given any evidence of being-a quitter at any stage of the journey They all can pack up their weights like gentlemen. The most popular member of tne, out fit is Auditor, for he has run the most hard races. Peter- Paul got a grueling earlier in the yeart being sent out every few days, often at top weight, but he did not so often meet the best horses as Auditor has been doing. The latter is a particularly game youngster anil most of his victories hve resulted from hard fights. He was second to English Lad in the Hyde Park stakes and would have won but for slight bumping at the finish. He is small, although pos sessing racy lines. His lack of size, together with his hard races, leads somu to predict that he will make a great three-year-old. Even at that, howevei, he has not received the campaign that some of the star two-year-olds of a few Eeasons ago received. In fact, none of the leading western colts has been campaigned excessively. Peter Paul is receiving a long let up. Flo Boo has not raced a good deal. Neither has English Lad nor Proceeds. All things considered, therefore, it will be an un usually well matched bunch of leaders in favoritism for the next American Derby. Dick Beruard is not much be hind the quintet of colts named. Chica go Tribune. WANT GRADUATE COACHING. Michigan Will Turn Both Baseball and Football Tuition Over to Alumni. Detroit. Mich., Oct. 21. Beginning with next season the University of Michigan will return to the graduate system of baseball coaching, and "Jerry" Utley, captain of last year's team, and, according to general belief, the star of last season's western college pitchers, will be the chief instructor. The final announcement has yet to be made, but the members of the athletic council have discussed the plan and a tentative offer has been made to the player, which he has accepted. Utlev will be assisted in the coaching next year by Guy Johnson, of Kalama zoo college, a coach of experience, who i now iu attendance, the university in the medical course. Johnson last year pitched for -the Tecumseh inde pendent team and had a trial bv the Louisville team in. the American asso ciation. The appointment of Utley, which is expected well before the beginning of the season, f thought to be Dut tne start of the adoption of graduate coach ing at the university in all branches. The football contract with Coach Yost has still a year to run. but it is hardly expected he will return another vear. and the eyes of Michigan's board of control in athletics are' anxiously di rected at Lawrence, Kan., where "Boss Weeks, the most astute football cap tain Michigan ever had, is doing his first work as football coach Both he and Jack McLean, another Michigan star, who last year made good with the Knox team, are regarded as XOHts most probable successors, as the pres ent Michigan coach is lmost certainly slated for seme big eastern berth next yean LOU DILLON IN FRONT. Easily Won Memphis Gold Cup from Major Delmar. Memphis. Oct. 21 What was ex pected to be one of the greatest harness horse contests m local .history Drovea to be a very tame affair, when -'Lou Dillon gave Major Delmar a decisive beating in two straight heats in ordi nary time. The two-minute trotters met in the second renewal of the Mem phis gold cud. Ideal weather conditions prevailed and the track was in perfect shape. Fully 15,000 people were in attendance when the two champions, driven by their owners, Messrs. Billings and Smathers. appeared upon the track for the first heat. Mr. Billings won the pole on the toss of a com. Starter Newton gave the word "go" at the first attempt arid Lou Dillon immediately forged to the front and seemingly without effort opened up a gap of three lengths, which advantage she held to the end, winning m an easy jog. In the second heat Major Delmar broke badly at the first eighth pole, allowing the daughter of Sidney Dillon to assume a lead of twenty le-.-.gths. Turning into the stretch Mr. Billings realised that he had the race at his mercy, pulled the mare ui and won by eight lengths. Both heats were trotted in 2:02. It was the general omnion that had the mare been aushed in the race she could have equaled her great performance at Readville, when she made the circuit in two minutes. The stake feature, the diamond hand icap, a dash at a mile and a half, was won handily by Dr. Strong, from the odds-on favorite, Billy Buck. Haw thorne was a irood third. THEY BOUGHT A FARM. Story of the Investment of Dreyfuss and Phillipe. Pittsburg, Oct. 21. "Deacon" PhilHpe, who pitched such wonderful ball for the Pittsburg team last season, and did more to keep up the Pittsburg's good showing in the world's championship series than any other player on tiie team, has gone back to the farm. There he will remain during the winter, sitting around the wood fire cracking hickory nuts and drinking cider to hi heart's content. A few years ago Phillipe fol lowed the plow for a living. Today he is not only one of the star pitchers of the National League, but a wealthy land owner as well. He lives at Ashton, S. D. 1-nillipe, as is well known. Is the pride of Barney Dreyfuss, the president of the Pittsburg club. If the -birr pitcher were a brother there coukl cnot be a stronger feeling of friendship between him and the head of the Pirates. In this con nection an interesting story is told, and as it has never appeared in print it is worth repeating.

"That will help some," said the twlrler, "but I'll have to have $1,500 more to be happy." "What do you mean?" asked Dreyfuss. "Well, I'll tell you," he said. "You see, I have bought an interest in a farm for my folks and I need the money to pay off a note." "Is it a good farm?" asked Dreyfuss. "One of the best in South Dakota," replied Phillipe. men just declare me in for the other half," said Dreyfuss. So Barney and the pitcher become sole owners of the farm. A few months later they bought up the adjoining farm for several thou sand dollars. That was. only a. year ago. Last summer they received a flatter ing offer for the land, which was used exclusively for wheat raising. They concluded to sell, and the deal was closed,. Dreyfuss got $7,000 for his share. making a record-breaking profit on his investment. Phillipe turned around and invested his money In another farm, which promises a big crop of wheat this year, and all the ball-player will have to do during the cold months will be to count his cash as it comes in.

Hermis Won the Brighton Cup. New York, Oct. 21. The Brighton cup of $9,000, the last of the big handi caps of the year, waa run at Brighton Beach track and 15,000 persons saw Hermis at 8 to 5, E. R. Thomas' colt, win easily by eight lengths. Time, 3:53 2-5, was excellent and was next to the best time ever run for the stake. In J.900 Ethelbert ran the distance two miles and a quarter in 3:49 1-5 a world's record. Major Daingerfield, at 6 to 5, owned by W. B. Leeds, was favorite, and finished second. He was beaten at the end of one mile and three-quarters. A. Featherstone's Ig niter was third. Allan, the only other starter, at 60 to 1, was outclassed. They were sent away to a good start, Her mis leading. Major Daingerfield second and Igniter third. The first time past the stand Hermis was leading by three quarters of a length with Major Dain gerfield second and Igniter third. This order remained the same around the paddock turn and into the back stretch. Passing the stand the second time Major Daingerfield was leading by one length with Hermis second and Igniter third. Down the back stretch Redfern brought Hermis up on even terms, with Maior Daingerfield. The pair ran like a team for a few strides when the former showed in front again and the grand stand shook with the yell that went up. Three-eighths of mile from the finish Hermis had a lead of six lengths and increasing this lead won easily by eight lengths. Major Daingerfield was three lengths in front of Igniter and Allan was twenty lengths back. MeGinnity May Be Magnate. New York, Oct. 21.

Mr. Kolich says: "I had ho appe tite; food did not taste good, and my stomach was full of gas continually. My indigestion became so bad my stomach refused the plainest food. I became thin, nervous and gloomy. By advice of a very good physician I took SIXTH DISTRICT NOTES. Miss dare Rush, after a service of two years doing- local and society work on the Oberlin Times, has gone to Chi cago to enter a musical conservatory. Miss Rush is one of the most talented young ladies of Oberlin. A man named Cronin has started up the roller-skating rink in Plainville.

Business has been so good in this line that the proprietor has con sented to double the present capacity of his alleys. It is claimed the Yost Milling com pany, of Hays City, did a business in September last aggregating $135,000. This Includes the grain and implement busi ness which goes with it. In 1S88 Logan county had ten news papers. The Oakley Graphic is the only paper now printed in the county. Rus sell Springs, the county seat, hasn't a paper. Business has been so good for the home paper, that its editor, Park Mitten, is living in, and is the owner, of the best residence in Oakley and Lo 6an county. The Northwest Kansas Teachers' as sociation will convene in Norton, Thanks giving day, for a three days' session. An attendance of teachers and friends of education of upwards of 600 is looked for. Coming so soon after the meeting of the Sixth district federation of wo men clubs held in Norton, it is sup posed the teachers will have to be con tent with picking the chicken bones. At any rate, the people of Norton are known for their liberality, and on this occasion as upon all others, everybody will be well-cared for during the teach ers' meeting. A Rooks county man named Evans has sold over 7,000 pounds of snake root to New York people, which he dug up along the streams in that county. It had been generally believed that a per son couldn't die in that county on ac count of a snake bite, because the person bitten could get some stimulant to coun teract it, but no one has thought snake root grew in such quantities in the short grass region. There may be a chance for argument If not for a law suit, because of the proposition made by the Oberlin Times, which; says: "There is not a more ac commodating postmaster in the great I Will Be Good to You.

I have a treatment which has relieved thousands of people of their excess fat that I want you to try. In order to get you to try it, I will mail you1 free upon rTPipt of your name and addfcss a trial package that will convince you that what I have said is true. There Is no medicine about it and you will not have to diet or starve yourself. It will not harm nor injure you in the least. It never has harmed others. If I did not know it would help you as it has thousands of others, I could not afford to prepare it and send It out at my own expense and pay the news papers for printing this ofTer. If I did not know that you would buy more of It after you have tried it. I would be very foolish to make this offer and go to all this expense. I am spending a great many thousands of dollars each year just for advertising alone and if I did not sell a great deal of my treat ment, I would soon have to shut up shop. Instead of that my business is Increas ing enormously each year and all the people that I have treated for excess fat swear by me and continue to bless me for the good I have done them. Think what a terrible thing it is to be so Insufferably fat. It is humiliating, too, besides all the misery it causes you.

Frequently Mr. Downing Is in his office dispensing mail matter to the patrons of his office as late as 10 and H o'clock at night. The Union Pacific train from the coast, which generally brings the bulk of the mail, is due in Hays city about 10 o'clock in the even ing. Usually it is one and two hours late and Jack Downing and his wife are there to distribute it. There is nothing new in the report that N. A: Turner. Republican, and J. R.

Should the rumor of their can didacy prove correct, they will buy au tomobiles, and go and see the dear peo ple in their horseless vehicles. J. L. Cook, of Gove county, Is the largest rye raiser in the county. His crop this year threshed out 1,300 bush els. He also raised 1.600 bushel3 of wheat, and considerable corn. He is pleasantly situated on his farm adjoin ing Gove City, where he has at all times the luxuries worth living for; Including hegs, cattle, horses, a pond of fish, and plenty to eat. He can also furnish fresh buttermilk to all who care to drink it at least three or four times a week. The Jewell count;-' fellows say Mitch ell eounU can have the state senator, which is only fair. Jewell and Mitchell counties comprise the Thirty-third dis trict. Hays B. White, of Jewell county, now represents the district. While he is not a candidate for another term, and his countv being unanimous for a Mitchell county man, the question is asked, Can Mitchell county get together on her two or more aspirants for sena torial honors? There is Mead, and Young, and Mitchell, and Jermark, all of whom have been mentioned as the Beloit crowd who wouldn't decline a senatorial nomination if tendered them. And there are some men living in Be loit who wouldn't, object being elected national delegate to the Republican convention. Besides. Beloit is the home of the state industrial school for girls, S. H. Dodge, regent of the state nor mal, and Frank McGrath, deputy United States marshal. Hence, it is easy enough for the Jewell county fel lows to ask if Beloit wants to take everything in sight. It is believed F. S. Rockefeller, of Rusell county, can be persuaded to take the fusion rromination for state senator in the Thirty-fourth district. composed of the counties of Osborne, Lincoln. Russell and Ellsworth. He was onlv bnaten 10 votes when he ran for legislative honors in his county. The names of Harvey J. Penney and I. M. Yost, of Hays City, are mentioned for national Republican delegates, the latter having been printed as a sure enough candidate. With a nostoffice fight on which seems a foregone con clusion, and another fight between two prominent men for delegate, Hays City will be strictly in it for fun and excite ment. Out in Gove county the Republicans seem to be settling upon G. D. Royer for the legislature to succeed John F. Jones, who declines to run for a third term. Mr. Royer is one of the large and successful farmers and stock men of the county, having1 about 400 head of cattle at the present time.

To commemorate the heroic but hope less charges of the French cavalry at the battle of Sedan a monument is to be erected on the spot where the division of General Marguerite melted away un der the fire of the German infantry and artillery. M. Emile Guillaume. the sculptor, has undertaken the work, and the monument will be erected by public subscription. At the request of General de Gallifet, General F2verot, who was in the last charge, wrote his recollections of it. One would imagine that little or nothing new could be told to the world about the battle of Sedan, but the gen eral gives some details which are note worthy. Among them there is one episode which escaped the pencils of the paint ers of battle pictures. When the division of General Marguerite, which rushed upon the Prussian columns, was shat tered and broken by the terrible fire of the needle gun and of the artillery, a fragment of it, under General de Galli fet. passed in front of the Prussian re serves and came close to the Eisnty first Nassau battalion. The German of ficer commanding that battalion, m ad miration of the brave fellows, gave the order to cease firing. The Frencn offi cers saluted and the Germans returned the salute and cheered. iTew York Sun. Singers and public speakers will find Pi so Cure for Consumption an effectual cure for hoarseness.

Wage Increases Will Thus Be Neutralized. Explanation of Hill's Recent Conference With Cassatt. New York, Oct. 21. An original agree ment now exists among the great rail road companies of the United States for the purpose ot shaping the policy to be pursued in making retrenchments and reducing forces of employes, just as there was an understanding in regard to advancing wages during the last two years. This statement is made on the authority of a man identified with a leading corporation. While no formal association exists, because such a body would be contrary to the interstate com merce law, there is a compact which is binding on all of the members. Its pri mary object is to deal with the labor problem, so that, employes of one rail road cannot use another road as a club to bring the first named into subjection. If the men rebelled now they would find themselves running up against a stone wall. The word has gone forth on all large railroads that retrenchments are to be made in certain lines where the com panies can most easily reduce forces such as car shops, repair shops, main tenance of way department and im provement corps. By laying men off in stead of reducing wages, those who re main cannot well find any fault, al though, to be sure, some of them will have to do more work than they did be fore. The reduction of forces will go on for some time, all departments in turn being taken up. The results will be much the same as if wages were cut, for it matters little whether a railroad with a wage list of $1,000,000 lays off one-tenth of its men, resulting in a re duction to $900,000, or makes a reduction of $100,000 in wages of its men and al lows all of them to remain. Perhaps less work will be done after the forces are reduced, but it is the policy of all of the companies to continue operations on just as large a scale as traffic war rants. James J. Hill's conference with the Pennsylvania railroad officials in Phila delphia this week was primarily in re gard to the labor problem and the policy to be pursued in making retrenchments. Reductions in wages will be made later, if business conditions warrant it; but leading railroad men would much pre fer to keep up wages as long as possi ble. The policy of reducing wages will not generally be tried by the railroads until after industrial corporations have led the way. WILL TRAINMEN HELP P It Is Rumored, and Denied, That Sympathetic Strike Is Coming. Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 21. Members o the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen may become involved in the strike of the Pacific Express company's employes. Rep resentatives of the grievance committees of the various local unions in the district affected by the walkout of messengers, truckmen and drivers, will gather in St. Louis today. If they should decide now to go on strike many lines in Missouri, Kansas and Texas would be tied up. The trainmen have been aiding the strikers indirectly. The switchmen refused to hurry '.rains to give the inexperienced men the company has put in the place of the strikers mora time to load the cars, and in other ways they have demonstrated their sympathy for the strikers. St. Louis. Oct. 21. William Cotter, gen eral manager of the Missouri Pacific rail way, denied today the rumor that the grievance committee of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen was in the city to protest against the railroad company compelling its trainmen to handle Pacific Express matter. "The Missouri Pacific railroad is not compelling its trainmen to do the work of the Pacific Express company's strik ing employes, nor is it affected in any way by the strike," said Mr. Cotter. "We have heard of no such intention on the part of the grievance committee, and IS YOUR STOMACH A STRIKE? ON There is nothing to prevent you em ploying a substitute to do its work. There is such a thing as forbearance ceasing to be a virtue even in the case of one's stomach. There is no question but that some stomachs will stand a great deal more wear and tear and, abuse than others, but they all have their limit and when that limit is reach ed, the stomach must be reckoned with as sure as fate. The best way and real ly the only effective way to treat your stomach when it rebels is to empjoy a substitute to do its work. This will give the weakened and worn out organ an opportunity to rest and regain its strength and health. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets relieve the stomach of its work by taking up th work and doing it just as one set or shift of workmen relieves another. They actually digest the food in just the same manner and just the same time as the digestive fluids of a sound stomach do. In fact when dissolved in the stomach, they are digestive fluids for they contain exactly the same constituents and ele ments a the gastric juice and other di gestive fluids of the stomach. No mat ter what the condition of the stomach is. their work is just the same. They work in their own natural way without regard to surrounding conditions. The stomach being thus relieved by Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, is restored and renewed by nature and the rest of the human body does not suffer in the least by reason of its failure to perform its work. A Wisconsin man says: "I suffered the pangs of dyspepsia for 10 years. I tried every known remedy with indif ferent results until I was told or the remarkable cures of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. I bought a box, began taking them and forgot I had a stomach. Three boxes cured me completely. I have had no trouble whatever for a year and have an appetite like a harvest hand and can eat anything that is set before me with out fear-f bad results." Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for sale by all druggists at 50c a box. The drug gist never fails to have them in stock because the demand for them is so great and so pronounced that he cannot afford to be without them. People who could not get them of one druggist would go to another "and would get in the habit of buying heir-other drugs there as well as their Stuart's iyspepsia Tablets. should the question come up at any con ference they will be, Informed that the Missouri Pacific does not intend to bo come involved in the strike in any way." STOP WITHIN 30 DATS. Pennsylvania to Suspend Further Work on Vast Improvements. Philadelphia, Oct. 21. The Pennsyl vania railroad will suspend further op erations on a great part of the vast im provement on extension work. It is es timated that nearly 510,000,000 of new work already under contract will be Btopped within 30 days. Formal notice wag given today to sev eral contractor to suspend work on" No vember 10. Other orders of like tenor will be issued withrut delay. An imme diate result of this sudden action by the Pennsylvania railroad to curtail expend itures will be the throwing out of work of several thousand men employed by the contractors. The purpose is to stop all improve ments and extension work from which direct benefit cannot be derived this year, excent where the work is so far advanced or in such shape that opera tions cannot be suspended without dan ger of serious damage to the work al ready done. Heavy excavation work will be stopped. Work now to be suspended will be ta ken up again only on its merits newly considered. Everything dropped now goes over to take its place among im provements and extensions which will be recommended for next year. Sche dules of such work are now being pre pared to be submitted to Joseph T. Richards, chief engineer of maintenance of way. After he cuts out what he shall deem unnecessary or premature the revised schedules go to William H. Brown, chief engineer, and from him to Presi dent Cassatt. Thus work heretofore ap proved and put under contract, but now stopped, must go through the usual course of new work proposed before It shall be taken up again. OSIENT HAS HAD ENOUGH. Will Cease Its fight on the Santa Fe at Emporia. Emporia, Kan., Oct. 21. An Emporia real estate agent who has transacted considerable business for the Orient railroad says he has been informed that the Orient will quit the case with the Santa Fe about the land at Second avenue and West street and will buy land to cut across the corner of the block. The Orient will buy four or five lots on the east side of West street south from the corner of Second avenue and will' run the right-of-way across the block just as it would have angled across the Santa Fe's ground. This un doubtedly would have been the better way out for the Orient in the first place as the land will not cost the Ori ent much more than the lawsuit with the Santa Fe. There is now a fear that trouble may arise between the Orient and the Santa Fe about land over which the Orient right-of-way extends at the Santa Fe yards. The Santa Fe beat the Orient recently in supreme court. HIRES GOOD MEN. Rock Island Spending Fancy Sums in Salaries. In discussing the policy of the Rock Is land to draw efficient officers into its ser vice, the Wall Street Journal says: The Rock Island company has for the past year been engaged in gathering to gether for the administration of its rail ways a collection of officials of the high est abilitv. The matter of price ha3 hardly entered into thai calculation at all. Great Northern and Northern Pacific have been outbid for several o their ablest men; i r4 The chief engineer of the 'Rock Island is the man that built Great Northern, John A. Stevens. He has for years been recognized as about the best of the great railroad engineers of the continent. He went to Rock Island because they of fered him more money than Great North ern could pay. The Rock Island people are ambitious. They recognize that for the fulfillment of their ambitions they must have the best thfcre is in the coun try. For that reason they choose to pay what might be considered a fancy price for the engineer that built Great North ern through the Rocky mountains on a grade that even Mr. Hill calls lbw. Mr. Stevens leaves a monument to himself on the line of Great Northern in the shape of Stevens' Pass, which he discovered and which was named for him. His feat of driving the great tunnel through the Cascade mountains with a variation of one-eighth of an inch between the sec tions working from both sides, has never been equaled in the history of American engineering. Within the past two years ten Great Northern men, of more or less recent graduation from Mr. Hill's school, have joined the ranks of the Rock Island. HAS NO CONTRACT. Santa Fe Denies Allegations in Freight Rate Case. The Santa Fe has filed its answer with the railway board to the com plaint of the Anthony Wholesale Gro cery company against an increase of jobbers' rates. Anthony has had the same rates as Wichita, Hutchinson, and Salina. The roads propose to lift them a trifle. The Anthony Wholesale Gro cery company claims it had a contract with the roads to give it the same rates as it gave jobbers at Wichita, Hutch inson and Salina. In the answer the Santa Fe says it knows nothing of any such contract; that it proposes to increase the rates from the Missouri river to Anthony be cause Anthony is 74 miles further than Wichita. It claims that the local sates west of Anthony are much less than the local rates from Wichita, and con tends that. Anthony has no grounds for ccmpiaint. REPRESENTS GOVERNMENT. A. E.

During the year there was spent for improvements of roadway and structures $1,335,652, and for addi tional motive power and rolling stock $1,708,000, the latter sum including 1,260 new freight cars and 42 freight en gines.

Proule, representing the Southern Pacific, have succeeded in restoring for mer peaceful conditions, and the situation, so far as the southeastern territory is concerned, no longer is serious. Particulars of the treaty negotiated in Chicago between all the lines affected have not reached here. but. Santa Fe head quarters has been advised the dispute re garding a division of tariffs has been ad Justed amicably.

He was due in Los Angeles October 10. Station Like a Church. The new Grand Trunk station at Lansing. Mich., which has been built at a cost of $25,000 has a general waiting room of 30 to 73 feet, and the design is somewhat similar to that of an Eng lish church, with open roof construction and groined arches. The railroad has recently purchased the entire square in the rear of the station, comprising about five acres, and this srace will be trans formed into a park. Report of the Burlington. Chicago.

The Santa Fe icemen at Newton were busy yesterday, several refrigera tor cars in transit loaded with perish able produce were iced. A large num ber of cars are still stopped at this point for icing although the present season has used an immense quantity of ice at this point, perhaps double the amount of any preceding year Newton Kansan-Republican.

A woman confined to the house foe several years with a chronic female derangement had finally given up hope of being cured. She had tried physician after phy sician, and remedy after remedy, with out any permanent improvement. Her treatment had cost her husband, who was a poor man, hundreds of dol lars. They had been obliged to denyi themselves many comforts of life in order to get money enough to pay the) physicians. The woman had become weak, nerv ous and wretched, and scarcely able tea keep out of her bed. Her children were growing up neglected and ragged, be cause of the want of a mother's care. Her husband was becoming discour aged and broken down with overwork. Picking up the paper one day sha happened to read an item which con tained the news that Dr. Hartmart would treat such cases free of charger by letter. She immediately wrote the doctor, describing her case, and giving; him all her symptoms. She soon received a letter tellinR her exactly what to do, and what medi cines and appliances to get. She beganj the treatment (the principal remedy be- ing Peruna) at once, and in a few weeks she was well and strong again, able to do her own work. This offer of free home treatment t women is still open to all who may need; the services of this eminent physician.. All letters applying for treatment will be promptly answered, and be heldi strictly confidential. Miss Annie Hoban, Post Pocahontas of Temassee Council of Red Men (wo men's branch), writes from 872 Eighth! ave.. New York: "Three months ago I was troubled v with backache and a troublesome heaviness about the stomach. Sleep brought me no rest, for it was a rest less sleep. The doctor said my nervous system was out of order, but his pre scriptions didn't seem to relieve me. B was told that Peruna was good fort building up the nervous system. After) using it for two months I know now! that it is. I want to say that it made) a new woman of me. The torturing symptoms have all disappeared and B feel myself again. Peruna did me mors good than all the other medicines B have taken." ANNIE HOBAN. Miss Mamie Powell, Lake Charles, Louisiana, writes: "I sincerely believe that Peruna tsi woman's best friend, for it has cer- tainly been that to me. I had had head aches, backaches and other aches everyt month for a long time, but shortly afteo I began taking Peruna this w-as a thing! of the past, and I have good reason to be grateful. I take a bottle everw spring and fall now, and that keeps mm health perfect, and I certainly am more robust now than I have been beforsi and am weighing more. I do not think; any one will be disaDnointed in the re sults obtained from the use of Peruna. MIS)5 MAMIE POWELL.

FTJLL LEASED WIRE EEPCP.T 07 THE ASSOCIATES PEESS. The State Journal is a member of the Associated Press and receives the full day telegraph report of that great news or ganization for exclusive afternoon publica tion in Topeka. The news is received in the Sta'e Jour nal building over wires for this sole pur pose, busy throughout the entire day. complete, copy of the night report is also received. The football players and the pianists both have- taken the field and it is dif ficult to tell one from the other. The receipts of the Nebraska state fair at IJncoln are reported to be $43, 000 and the net surplus $7,000. "What's the matter wih Kansas"? Has everybody been killed in Mace donia thus making it necessary to begin over? The man. who abducted Miss Stone has already been plain twice. Washington Post: Grover Cleveland ays he would u.ler have his son be come a bridge builder than president af the United States. So Would most of us if the boy Mkes after his father. The long expected call for the extra session of congress has been issued at last. The reason assigned therefor is Cuban reciprocity and nothing more. It is sufficient. The ease with which Tillman secured acquittal of the charge of murder may lead some other South Carolinian to take similar chances, but if he hasn't money and political influence he may get fooled. Canada needn't worry about those is lands in the Portland channel which she would like to own and fortify. Uncle Sam will not let any outsiders get at her. The Monroe doctrine can be made to apply to British Columbia as well as to Cuba. The ferreting out of so many bood lers in Missouri makes for pessimism in the opinion of the Hartford Post. What there is of pessimism probably arises from witnessing the inability of the prosecution to place any of the boodlers in prison. Devery's platform, in his campaign for mayor of New York, calls for Sun day saloons and theaters, free lunch to school children, three-cent fares, union cards for all public construction, and condemns a "tendency in high of ficial circles" to encourage the -ope-shop." He also opposes the appobit ment of college graduates to public of fice. Two of the postoffice boodlers have been tried with the usual result in boodle trials. Perhaps with the excep tion of Captain Oberlin M. Carter it cannot be recalled that any boodler has beer, punished within the memory of the present generation. They are as Immune from punishment as a Topeka jointist. In the instance under consid eration the jury failed to agree. Within ten years New Jersey has col lected annual taxes from stock con cerns to the amount of over $10,000,000, last year being the most productive of the list, yielding $1,959,206, and this merely from those companies that have been organized under the general cor poration act and does not include rail roads, canals, etc., previously in busi ness. Besides this sum she has taken in in that time $2,225,000 in fees for filing. During the eighteen years since 1885 she has given charters to 20.099 cor porations, representing nominally a to tal capital of $14,785,575,350. Of these there were no questions asked as lone as they paid their annual taxes, but when they proved unproductive and the stockholders grew t'-ed of "putting up," they defaulted and were wiped out of existence by the governor's proclama tion. There were 247 of these defaulting corporations in 1S93. and the number has been increased each year, reaching already in 1903. 881, the highest figure yet. The business was never more flourishing. During nine months of the present year the fees taken amount to 243.SJ. The secret is out at last. The source of the trouble on Wall street has been discovered. The moneyed interests are afraid the Democrats will carry Ohio. Mark Hanna says that's what's the matter with the business of the street and the whole country as well. His view is endorsed by the Pittsburg Dis- patch in an editorial as follows: Leaders of Ohio Democracy having practically admitted defeat in "the com ing November elections the country will await the verdict from that great stae with much more than ordinary interest Rightly or wrongly the conviction is generally entertained that the present deplorable condition of the stock mar ket is due in no small degree to the in fluence of powerful financial and polici al agencies antagonistic to the admin istration of President Roosevelt. Noth ing is being omitted that can in any way be warped into an issue during the next national compaign, and it is al ready apparent that the Democracy has planned to make its chief battle on trusts and the many evils alleged to re sult from them. The result of the Ohio struggle there fore assumes the utmost importance, for a heavy Republican majority would mean thoromjh endorsement of the Roosevelt administration. Should such a verdict be rendered by the voters of the Buckeye state, and all things indicate that it will be, business interests far and near will look for a renewal of the great prosperity which has been check ed for the moment by the sullen clouds hovering over Wall street. JAYHAWXEH JOTS. "Toe" socials are the latest thing on foot at Neodesha. Hunters after wild fowl around Ster ling wear duck coats. The best radishes raised at Fredonia this season are now on the market. Bison wants a new hotel. Would the men who starts It get "buffaloed"? A Syracuse girl swallowed a small nail. She probably thought her voice needed repairing. The "dipping of cattle" season has closed at Kendall and that of the horse trading era begun. For several days after the death of, its master a Colby dog refused to leave the grave to eat or drink. After discussing the matter for five years Sharon Springs has finally started a plank sidewalk to the depot. A Jennings citizen, healthy and sane of mind, was in the depot there this week for the first time in twenty years. Cottonwood Falls hunters are so apa thetic that prairie chickens are roosting within a quarter of a mile of the court house. There were only fifteen cases of tar diness in the Carbondale schools last year. So far this season there has been nineteen. From the amount paid out on wolf scalps the Wallace county commission ers suspect that coyotes are being raised for the bounty money. The Hutchinson "Knights of the Razor" were displeased with the visit of the state barbers' board. Barbers generally size up a man by his mug. Cherryvale collects $3,000 a year times Ave joints run in Topeka without paying a cent, save to lawyers to de fend them. A Wichita girl writes home from Colorado a lurid tale of the killing of a big buck deer. XTpon what meat doth Wichita citizens feed that makes tnem such great romancers. A Topeka family is "a house divided against itself" over the naming of a new puppy. The girl pet insists tnai it shall be "Bill Bailey," and "Bill Bailey" will probably go. GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. Even the clever Edward Bok doesn't pretend that there is any cure for old age. Funeral nrocessions seem to be grow ing shorter every year and wedding pro cessions longer. The men lack one resource open to the women: they can't uut a veil over their summer hat and wear it all winter. We have noticed a growing tendency among women to complain when they get together of how the noise ot cnuaren "gets on .their nerves." When a child returns from a neighbor's after spending the night there the mother should remember before "talking" that the bites may not be new. W find we can satisfy a friend we have not seen before in 20 years by telling him he doesn't look a day older, but if it is 40 years we have to make it an hour. The women are very much interested in the case of the Atchison county woman who not only had no trouble in keeping her servant, but couldn't get rid of her. We would suggest to the poor cooks that they make grape pie: the consumer is so busy crushing the grape seeds that he doesn't have time to observe that the crust is poor. Suggested to the T.ancaster Literary so ciety for debate: A and B are old and tried friends. A also has another friend whom B hates. Should A compel B to like this friend as a proof of friendship.' It is announced from Lincoln that the portrait of Bryan which W It. L.eavitt was painting is left incomplete and will never be finished. Nothing in that. Lea- vitt will have lots of time to finish it when he comes back to live oft his tath-er-inlaw. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. LFrom the Chicago News. Rest has spoiled many a man who was wilting to work. What the dew is to the flower kind words are to the heart. Lambs rush into Wall street where the old sheep fear to tread. Thought travels fast, but some people's thoughts never travel tar. A time table. Cordelia, is any old table purchased on the installment plan. A girl never thinks a young man's heart is in the right place unless she pos sesses it. It sometimes happens that the woman who is disappointed in love isn't disap pointed in marriage. What a happy world this would le if people couldn't borrow trouble without putting up collateral security. A man seldom marries a girl on ac count of her family, but he sometimes re mains bachelor on account thereof. QUAKER REFLECTIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. It doesn't necessarily take an athlete to ne long-winded. No, Maude, dear; the plural of football is not leetoan. A woman never forgives a man who doesn t admire her. The married man who is- known as a good fellow is often a bad husband. The fellow who is looking for new sen sations might reform, just to see how it feels. Some men are so fond of sympathy that they actually glory in being the under dog. It isn't very pleasant to have the tables turned on you, nor a hose, either, for that matter. Shrinking and modest are words that usually go together, but the shrinking bathing suit is not the modest one. It doesn't necessarily follow that he- cause the wife of a count is a countess ine wne ot a governor is a governess. "Did you ever see a sea serpent?" the returned traveler was asked. "No. I never drink." replied the slobe trotter. Blobbs "Poor Henpeckke! Before he was married he used to talk about hi. dream of love." Slobbs "And now I sup pose it's his nightmare of reality."

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR From the New York Press. Hatred is such a big passion that hardly anybody in the world is worth it. There is no job in the world that is harder than being a hero in your own back yard. After a man gets used to being man aged by a wife he has to get used to be ing managed by children. The girl is yet to be born who seems to a man to be an angel of lovelinesss when she has a cold in her head. It is very selfish of a girl to wear sharp, hatpins when she has got to say good night to the man who brings her home. Arrested for Jail Breaking. Sheriff Bert Lucas today made the arrest of Carl Wescott who is wanted at Lamar, Colo., for jail breaking. Wescott has been in Topeka for a few weeks only and was employed at the Hall Lithographing establishment when taken. He is said to have escaped from jail ir one other town besides Lamar. Information of his arrest has been wired to Colorado. He "But if a man won't take no for' an answer?" She "Then there is only one thing the girl can do say yes to some one else." Puck. ELLIOTT GETS IT. Succeeds jlellen as President of Northern Pacific. New York, Oct. 21. Howard Elliott was today elected president of the Northern Pacific railroad. Mr. Elliott is from St. Paul. Minn. He succeeds C. S. jlellen. Elliott's present positions are second vice president of the Chicago, Burling ton and Quincy, and second vice presi dent of the Hannibal and St. Joseph.

His service has been altogether with western railroads, beginning when he was 20 years of age, in 1880, with the engineer corps of the Chicago, Burling ton Quincy railroad. DO WE EAT TOO MUCH Generally Acknowledged That tha Present generation is uvenea. rrr i l .1 too much is just now agitating the scientific world, and some direct and practical efforts are being made to an swer the query. Prof. Crittenden of witn ine sanction arm am ui mc wai department, is about to institute some iooa experiments on a. eseieci. giuup vi. sturdy soldiers. They are to be fed scientifically, and due note is to be taken ot ine cnemicai umiauiucni.3 m various viands and their respective nutritive quality.

We may go even further by say ing that the Americans as a class are notable examples of this overindul gence. Dyspepsia is a veritable Ameri can disease, due as much to the over loading of the stomach with rich food as to the hasty manner in which the act is accomplished.

Kotw.-t.An Van Euren and Jackson on Huntoon is likely to neces sitate a reappraisement of the prop erty on that block for the paving tc be lid there, provided such a thing can be done. If it can't, the situation will be unfortunate and unjust to the prop erty owners. The facts of the case are that the street is to be paved 30 feet wide, and t're contract is let. The expectation was that there would be a single track inilway there, as at present, and thi tax was levied on that basis. Now the company proposes to build a double track. Unless the property is reap praised, the uroperty owners will have t- pay' for pavins one of the tricks, of course, the company will refund to the cUv the cost of the material used, but that will not benefit the property ll-'.i. pVinnlil Viia Hr.no if 110S- .:v.l ic nr.HC tnO wifltb t if the pavemcit by exactly the width of the Kccomi fruct. lletvveen Karnson and van Kuren tne i.:t enuJn'. now mm i- umj ..-v wide.

Suzanne Adams, the great soprano and her company comes to the Auditor ium tomorrow night under the direction of the Topeka Choral society. She op ened her season last week at Augusta, Maine, and she was given an ovation. An Augusta paper the following day contained a glowing account of the con cert, which, according to private ac count was the greatest event of that na ture ever offered to the people of that city and which was, if anything, better than it was given credit for in the news paper. The audience, it is said, broke all restraint and gave an enthusiastic dem onstration of the popular feeling of re gard in which the young prima donna is held in that city. The Augusta paper said: "Never was a larger or more repre sentative audience ever gathered in the city of Augusta than was assembled in City hall, last evening to listen to Su zanne Adams and the members of her company, it was fortunate indeed that the City hall was used for the occasion as the crowd was considerably in excess of the number that could be seated in our opera house. It was the largest, the most enthusiastic and most representa tive audience ever gathered at a musical entertainment in this city. "Not only was the intelligence and culture of our own city largely repre sented, but good siaed delegations of the representative citizens of Waterville, Winthrop, Hallowell and Gardiner were present in the hall and shared in the de light of the evening's programme. "Many things must contribute to put a great, singer at, her- best and Miss Adams was-at, her best, last evening. Two years ago. when she sang in the Maine festival, she secured a strong hold upon the hearts of the music lov ers of our state. Last night she came again to our state fresh from the tri umphs of a notable European tour. She was a great singer when she first came to our state: but those who heard her then, and again last night, agreed that she is a greater one today. "It is a wonderful power to enthrall an audience, to carry it away out of itself, and into another world an ideal world with the blending of beauty and harmony that constitute art in its perfection. That power Miss Adams possesses. With a voice ot great lane and flexibility, she unites a singularly charming stage presence. "She caught the big audience in the snare of her witcheries last evening, with her exquisite rendering of the 'Jewel Song' (Faust), and they did not awake to the contemplation of mundane affairs again until the pro gramme was finished, and the beautiful singer had bowea nriscu num stage for the last time. Tn the auo ior voice mu w-.w. Am' in which Miss Adams ap peared with her husband. Mr. Stern, she again gave a wonderful exhibition. and she aroused an aumence mm -peatedly cave evidence of its apprecia tion in enccres, to the higbest pitch of enthusiasm by her superb rendering of the sons 'Little Thief ami "Printemps Valse." specially composed or her by Mr Stern. The ease and accurav with which she executed the most difficult runs and trills were a delight to a.l who heard her, and indicated her neht to a place in the very front rank of the world's greatest singers." n-:n K. included ill the tiro- gramme for the Toneka cencert at the Auditorium tomorrow evening.

Bean tho KsiA Yos Havg Always Bought Bean tie Itia Kind Yoo Have Alwsvs Bought OASTOIIIA. Bean the Tha Kind You Have Always Bought The Medicine That Forty years ago Dr. Joseph Rhodes Buchanan was at the head of the leading medical college at Cincinnati. He afterwards became a leader for his time in medical research at New York, Boston and San Francisco. His widow, Dr. E. Buchanan, survives him and she is also an able writer and lecturer. She is an authority on the science of medicine and certainly appreciates the great work physicians are doing for the relief of sufferers. But this does not deter her from expressing her views in praise of Wine of Cardui. No woman could say more than this Rkro, Okla., May 11, 1903. "Wine of Cardui absolutely does core tick women. I consider it the most valuable medicine, and it is the cheapest cure any sick woman can use, as it takes as a rule, only a very few bottles to effect a complete and laatina enre.

Mrs. Buchanan's high intelligence and long and successful experience render her advice of great value. Wine of Cardui regulates menstruation, cures bearing down pains and relieves suffering women of the pain and misery to which their sex is heir. You have the word of Dr. Buchanan and thousands of other eminent women that Wine of Cardui will completely cure you. All druggists sell $1.00 bottles of Wine of Cardui. LOST ON THE SHOALS. Sixteen of the Crew of a French Bark Missing. Honolulu, Oct. 21. The French bark Conetable de Richemont has been lost on French Frigate shoals and sixteen of her crew are missing. Captain Raubt, with the carpenter, cook atid three seamen reached Kauai on Sun day in a small boat and arrived here this morning. Captain Raubt reports that his ship struck the shoals at 4 a. m. on October 1 in a dead calm and had to be abandoned 24 hours later. Two boats with sixteen men are miss ing, one in charge of the first mate, who is the son of the captain, with seven men, and the other containing the boatswain and seven men. These two boats are without provisions, and a searching party may be organized to look ior the shipwrecked men. The Conetable de Richemont was bound from Hong Kong to a South American pert. AT THE PIA1 LAST NIGHT. S. Miller Kent was at the Crawford last night in "Facing the Music," which was preceded by a one-act curtain raiser. -"Facing the Music" is a farce in which Henry E. Dixey is making a successful tour of the larger cities. It is certainly an excellent vehicle for Mr. Dixey. and no doubt when Mr. Kent. learns his lines it will be a success in the one night stand theaters. Mr. Kent once discharged Fthelynn Palmer, who played one of the leading parts in "The Cowboy and the Lady, because she was given more attention than he, but there is little danger of such an emerg ency with his present company, though Miss Julie Marie Taylor made a very good impression in the rather insig nificant part of "Nora." Mr. Kent is rather clever and he ousrht to be able in the course of a year or two to work up the cart of "John Smith" until he makes a pronounced hit. His rawness gave the people a false impression cf his ability last night. DEATHS AND FUNERALS.

Johmon Be gins Its Distribution. Commissioner W. L. A. Johnson of the bureau of labor and industry today began the distribution of the first bien nial report of the department under the reorganization. The report is of 472 pages and weighs nearly two pounds. The report is the first large job to be done by State Printer George A. Clark. In the recapitulation on the labor or ganization statistics Commissioner Johnson says in his report: 1 "Organization One hundred and twenty-seven reports were received from that many labor organizations, setting forth their condition during the year. The average number of charter members, one hundred and fourteen reporting, is 27.9. The average total membership, or.e hundred and sixteen reporting, is 66.5 The average increase in membership, seventy-two reporting, is 35.6. The average decrease in mem bership, twenty-one reporting, is 20. Causes for increase: A very large per cent say, 'Organized labor, and the gen eral activity in business.' Two say: 'New mines.' One says: 'Development in mines." Out of one hundred and nine reporting, seventy-two have agreements or contracts with employers. The aver age annual cost per member for main taining organization aside from in surance, one hundred and nine report ing, is $7.23. The average per cent of trade organized, one hundred and ten reporting, is 80.5. "Occupation and Employment The average number of months members were employed during 1902, with one hundred and fourteen reporting, is 10.8. The average number of hours worked per day, one hundred and eleven re porting, is 9.3. One hundred and ten out of one hundred and fourteen say they are in favor of a universal eight hour work-day. The average number of members unemployed for the quarter ending March 31 is, nineteen reporting. 31.5; quarter ending June 30, twenty one reporting, 26.5; quarter ending Sep tember 30, with twenty-two reporting, is 28.1; quarter ending December 31, with twerty-four reporting, is 31.1. Causes: Two say: "On account of strike." Three say: 'Bad roads.' One says: 'Type-setting machines.' One says: 'Because, of old age.' "Opportunity for employment, as com pared with 1901. is increased in eighty eight instances, decreased in six, the same in fifteen. Causes for Increase-. Thirty-eight say 'General prosperity,' ten say, 'To organization, Four sav, ,To strikes in the East.' "The average wages of members for 1902, per hour, thirty-six reporting, is 28 cents, per day. seven reporting. 52.44: per week, eighteen reporting, $11.91; per month, thirty-two reporting, $62.92; per ton, thirteen reporting. 76 cents; per mile, three reporting. 3 cents. "Wages, as compared with 1901. are In creased in forty-five instances, the same in eight. Causes for increase: The pre vailing reasons for such increase are 'Organized labor and general activity In business, and prosperity.' "There was a total of twelve strikes engaged in, six of which were settled satisfactorily and one was lost. Causes for such strikes: Three say. 'Because of organization." Two say, 'Because of eight-hour law.' One says. 'Because of the compulsdry doctor system.' One says, 'Because of the failure of the com pany to live up to contract." The man ner of settlement of a few of the strikes is as follows: One says, "Was settled by the abolishment of compul sory doctor system and the company granting increase in wages.' One says, 'The company granted increase In wages.' The average total number of members involved, nine reporting, is 80.8. The average total number of days lost, seven reporting, is 1413.6. The average total amount of wages lost, seven re porting, is $1409.64. The total amount of strike benefits paid out, eleven report ing, is $1666.81. "The bureau of wages could best pro mote the interests of the wage-earners of the state by 'securing an eight-hour system." say ninety per cent of tne 01 ganizations heard from- One says, 'Se i t. S I Are often the forerunners of pneumonia and consumption. If your lungs feel sore, lose no time but get a bottle of Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup and use itaccordingtodirections.

Three say, "Compulsory arbitration." In" regard to strikes and labor diffi culties the report says: "The report on this subject was brought up to May 1, 1902. in the bul letin issued by the bureau on that date; therefore the following pases will be a review of the more imnortant strikes and labor difficulties occurring in the state for the fiscal year ending May 1, 1903. The industrial conditions in the state during the past year have been comparatively free from disturb ances and -disputes in comparison wilh the number of industrial concerns in operation. Labor has been steadily employed, at fairly remunerative wages. There has been a steady de mand for labor, rather than the usual demand for situations, as In former years. It is encouraging to be able to say that less than 2,500 men have been engaged in strikes during the year. The total number of strikes occurring for the year was sixteen. The causes that led to these disturbances of the more important ones are as follows: Strikes for increase in wages only were eight, of which five were successful. Strikes for increase of wages and contract with employers were seven four successful and three unsuccessful. Strikes for in creased wages and reinstatement of discharged employes were two. During the year a number of small disputes have occurred, many of which wer; adjusted within a day or so, and have not been given space in this report.'' MORE DIPHTHERIA. Little Daughter of Ed Spear the Lat est Victim. The daughter of Ed Spear, salesman for the National Oil company, is the latest case of diphtheria to escape from the watchful care of City Physician Storrs. Storrs keeps the public records so well secreted that it is only now and then that the public learns of the numerous new cases of diphtheria which are developing every day. The new sanitary sergeant, R. P. Pay, is so energetic in doing the work which he was put there to do that he refuses to give out any information even though he stoutly maintains that City Physi cian Storrs has never told him to sup press information. "Storrs has never given me any in structions, one way or the other," said Mr. Pay. "The fact is. that he has only been up here in the office two or three times since I have been here, and then he was always in a hurry." Mr. Pay was asked what he would do if a citizen should ask for permission to see the public records of the office. "I can't give out any information,' said Pay. "Why not?" was asked. "Well, just because Dr. Storrs has not told me to." Mr. Pay must be a mind reader, to so carefully carry out instructions which he has never received. For 18 years the records of the health department were considered fit for public inspection, but since Storrs took office it is different. ADD FIFTY MILLIONS. D. R. G.

They have decided not to take a house in Washington this win ter, but will live at one of the downtown hotels. Concerning politics, the senator said: "Colorado Democrats favor the nomi nation either of Senator Gorman or Judge Parker for the presidency. The question has never been considered to the extent that it has been necessary to make a choice between the two. I be lieve either would be satisfactory to the west." MR. PIERCE AT HOME. Returns from His Visit to South Africa. W. E. Pierce returned last night from South Africa, where he went with a consignment of cattle for the Boers. Mr. Pierce left Topeka seven months UKO. "That Is the worst country I ever saw," said Mr. Pierce. "The country is about such as we have in the aoiith western part of the United States. It is rough and sandy. The days are so hot tht they are very disagreeable and the nights are very cold. It is un healthful. Hereafter it is probable that only American cattle will lie used to restock the Boer farms. The British KOvernment has tried cattle from Australia, Canada and all parts of South Africa, but the Texas cattle thrive better there and a smaller per centage of them die cUurng the process of becoming acclimated."

That northwestern game was the making of Chicago. But Michigan has got to hurry." In preparation for the Minne sota game new suits have been order ed for every man on the eleven. The suits are an innovation at Michigan, being all in one piece. Fit and elastic ity are secured by a foot wide girdle of elastic cord at the waist. These suits will render it impossible for a Michigan man to be stopped by a grip on bis shoulders. Neck, shoulder pads and waists are so made and fitted that only lowing diving tackles can stop the runner. DECISION IS JUST. London Newspapers Unite in Com mending Boundary Award. London, Oct. 21. The comment of the afternoon newspapers here on the Alaskan boundary decision is similar to that of the morning papers. "Regrettable but honorable" sums up the general tenor. The St. James Ga zette says it considers the fact that Chief Justice Alverstone signed the award to be proof of the correctness thereof, and adds: 'We have the fullest confidence, therefore, that the decision we deplore was absolutely required by the justice of the case." The St. James Gazette regrets that the Canadian commissioners published an explanation of their position, ap pearing to cast a reflection on their colleagues, and the Pall Mall Gazette comments on the lack of dicnity and self-possession shown by the Canadian commissioners in declining- to sign the decision and declaring the finding to be an "unjudicial one."

In the probate court Tuesday after noon Mary Ann Hedges was discharged after an examination for her sanity. The Hedges woman lives at Twenty first and Madison streets. Her neigh bors say that she has a habit of nring a shot gun in her back yard and that she occasionally amuses herself by com pelling them to run for cover by aim ing it at them. The Lawrence World says: "Politics is peculiar. The Douglas county con tingent went to Topeka and recom mended Loomis for United States judge and Loomis lined up more men against the Douglas county candidate for speaker than any other man in the state. However, Loomis is a rattling good lawyer, and will probably get the appointment. Senator Long owes too much to him to turn him down." The Shawnee football team, composed of boys living in the vicinity of Topeka avenue and Tyler streets, defeated the Polk street team Tuesday afternoon by a score of 2 to 0. This is the report of the game which is given by one side. The other side claims that the score was a tie, neither side getting across the goal line. The dispute is in regard to whether the score claimed by the Shawnees was a touchback or a safety.

Hanley has secured a contract for $100,000 worth of paving to be done at Iola. This contract, in addition to an Iola sewer contract held by Mr. Han ley, gives him about $150,000 worth, of work to do at that town. He gets a good big price for the pav ing and grading. The paving was let for $1.71 and grading for 33 cents to 3y cents. In Topeka the current price is about $1.20 for paving and 23 cents for grading. The following is the report of how the contract was let, as given by tne Iola Record: "The council last night contracted for the paving of five streets containing 30 blocks of paving. Contracts for the curbing of these streets was also let. J. D. Hanley was the successful bidder for the paving and the Bandara Flag stone company secured tile contracts for the curbing. Prices were much higher than ever before paid, but the work required was considerably -better than that required for the other paving. "But two bids were received. One bid was given for a few of the streets but Mr. Hanley and John Ritchie, also of Topeka, were the only ones who put in bids for the entire contract. Mr. Ritchie's bid was one cent higher on paving than that of Mi. Hanley. but ho was two cents higher on excavation and one cent lower on headers. The header work doesn't amount to a very large sum and taken altogether the council concluded that Mr. Hanley's bid was 'ie, better one and the co'.iiracts for the en tire five streets were allowed to him. "The question of whether the curb ing would be constructed of flagstone or cement evoked considerable discus sion and was decided by the mayor's vote. T-ie council stood a tie in the matter. Three of them were for con crete and three for flarrstone. The mayor decided In favor of flagstone. The flagstone is the more expensive. but it was believed by those who voted for it to be the best. This rooming some of the property owners are ask ing if they will be allowed to put in concrete if they: desire. a they do not like the fiaestone. "tola has so far let two contracts for paving. Neither of them were the saK. and now ..a. third kind is to be tried. The first, Bavins contract called for a layer of crushed rock, a laver of cinders, a course of brick laid flat, a layer of sand, and then the caving brick laid edgewise. The second one provides for a laver of cinders, a layer, of brick, a layer of sand and then the pavers laid edgewise. The contract which was let last nrovides for a layer of crushed rock, a layer of brick and the whole floated with concrete. Ever since naving has been started this lat ter kind has been said to be the rrooer kind. Those who are familiar with paving insist that it should have been put down on all the streets. On the other hand, others say -that the ravine put down on West Madison will last longer, cost less and give better satis faction than any other kind of paving." PEOPLE WERE PLEASED. Washburn's Faculty Concert a Pro nounced Success. The next time the faculty of the Wash burn musical conservatory gives a concert they will have to put an addition on the Washburn chapel. Jpst night the chapel was crowded to the- doors and standing room was accepted by a hundred peopls who Couldn't find seats. This in spite of the fact that the street cars company failed to comply with the request of Prof. Penny for additional street car service. Many people who waited on the street corners for a Washburn car were disap pointed when the ears, jammed full of people, rushed pa8t""without stopping for more passengers. None who attended the concert were disappointed. It was one bf the most eti joyuble concerts ever given in the city and merited the attention of the large audience. A. Klingenberg, head professor of in strumental music, made his first public appearance at a Washburn college con cert, and in the words of the theatrical critic, he "scored a hit." His playing is of surpassing brilliancy and feeling ant even the people who scoff at classical mu sic were obliged to admit that Mr. Klin genberg's encores were well earned. Mrs. George W. Parkhurst and Mrs. G. P. Grimsley. soprano and mezzo-soprano, were the vocal artists of the evening and their selections were enthusiastically re ceived by the audience. Mrs. George K. Stoker, assistant in the instrumental de partment, played two dainty compositions, one by Ludwig and one by Grle;. with charming ability. Miss LuCeliji B. Clark, violin instructor, played the Hungarian Rhapsody with her well known skill. Before the programme commenced Prof. George B. Penny, dean of the school of fine arts, announced that a series of con certs will be giveji by the members of the Washburn musical faculty, and that in the future there will be numerous en semble numbers, each concert being of a different character from the others. Prof. Penny also promised that in the future a more strenuous effort will he made to se cure better street car accommodations for the crowds. THEY WANT THE ROAD.

It is easy to shake off coffee no matter how bad one may crave it, when well made Postum Coffee is served in its place. "I have drank coffee for years and al ways experienced trouble from it," says a Kansan. "I knew it was causing my sickness as my doctor told me it was, an! following the doctor's advice I have repeatedly sworn off. But after a short time I could not stand it any longer and would go back to coffee and the old troubles. Never until I tmed Postum about a year ago could I shut off the coffee for any length of time. "At that time I was suffering terribly from stomach trouble, nervousness, headaches and all the other ills that, go with a badly upset coffee stomach. 1 tm a school teacher and if I made my coffee strong enough to stimulate my stomach I could work fine for a time but would collapse at night. Gradually I failed to get stimulation from the coffee and my brain seemed actually clogged up from drinking coffee and my stom ach was in a wretched state. "A friend came to see me and advised that I try Postum and then went out and got me a package, she was so Cer tain it would help me. But my landlady did not make it right and I was so dis appointed with the taste that I went back to coffee. My health finally got so bad I was on the point of giving up school work. Then my friend returned to see me one day and asked about I he Postum and when she found out what the trouble was she made it for me ac cording to directions, boiling it full 15 minutes, and to my surprise I found it delicious. "Then I shut off the coffee and found it easy to do by drinking Postum in its place which completely satisfied any coffee taste and I began to feel better almost immediately. I have used Pos tum ever since and my stomach has not given me a minute's trouble. I am now strong again my nerves are steady and normal and I feel so fine I cannot begin to tell you how thankrul I am. "I persuaded my brother who was an inveterate coffee drinker for years o give up the coffee and try Postum and he has had such results from this that he says he will never go back to coffee. When I went home on a visit to my parents I persuaded them to use Pos tum in the place of coffee and the re sults have been that Mother's nervous ness ard sleeplessness have .disappear- ed."

Wheat Firm on Fair Bnjing of Maj. Ezra Kendall Wants Bill Jfje's Experiences Used. Mrs. Nation Is Ejected from the Dowie Meeting. 6 Insisted on Asking Questions., Interrupting Elijah's Talk. HE PRAISES HER WORK licit Said She Had Been Lsing Wrong Methods. Madison Square Garden Packed and 6,000 Couldn't Get In. New York. Oct. 21. Mr. Dowie, arrayed in evening clothes, talked for two hours lait nisrht before a great throne In Madison Square Garden, the burden of his talk being denunciation f the clergy and the press. When he began the huge garden was crowded and the police say six thou sand persons who could not grain en trance were turned away. In half an hour, however, the crowd began to urge out, and then the police refused to admit any late comers, saying they feared a riot. It irai with difficulty that any sem blance of order was kept. The speaker waa repeatedly Interrupted with hisses and shouts of disapproval. At one point Dowie ordered the police to arrest two men In different parts of the building who had Interrupted him. Carrie Nation, who occupied a seat near the front, asked "Elijah" to an wer some questions. He refused, and ordered her to sit down. Dowie then praUed the spirit In which Mrs. Nation bad warred on the saloon, but said she used wrong methods. Mrs. Nation again demanded the privileges of ask ing questions. At once the Zion guards surrounded her and with help of sev eral policemen ejected her. At this several hundred persons at the hack of the garden made a rush to get out. The entrance was blocked in a moment and Dowie, shouting that the iway had been blocked by the crowd outside brought there for the purpose of creating a. disturbance, ordered the ioalats to keep their places. He then requested the audience to be seated, and after getting the side exits opened he directed the audince to rise in sec tion and go out at the sides. The meeting was one of continuous disorder. Dowle had announced that he would reply to an attack by Rev. Dr. .Tames M. Buckley, published in a magazine last year, but he only referred to this subject casually. He attacksd Rev. Dr. P. 6. Henson, Rev. Dr. Parkhurst, J. P. Morgan and others, and announced that hereafter he intended to keep the news paper reporters jut of his meetings. Rev. Dr. Chas. H. Parkhurst has sent the following open letter to Dowie: "I do not want to be presuming, but doubt If It is any more presumptive in me to come and try to clarify you than it ia for you to come and try to clarify New York, and I don't know which of us has taken the heavier contract. I attended your service at Madison Square Garden last evening, and I went determined to enjoy it if I could and to be benefited by it and to go away and .refute some of the charges that I had heard alleged against vou. But It was of no use; your behavior on the platform crushed all the sym pathy I had with you. I never heard from a public speaker such a discharge of wrath and coarse invectives. I went "to hear you preach the gospel and you preached Dowie, Zion city, 'stinkpot." I was ashamed of you and almost ashamed to, be in your audience. It was along way below the standard even of the circuses that I have at tended in the same garden. The only consolation I could derive, it was so abominable and so far beyond the bounds of the respectability that even those in your congregation who did not know what Christianity is would have no idea that it had anything to do with what you were saying. Of course, the ridiculousness of the performance was only enhanced .by the Immensity of your pretensions. If you claimed to be only an ordinary man there might be some hope for you even with what you call the 'rabble,' but the rabble is dis criminating and can discriminate as keenly as the keenest between a prophet and a juggler between an Elijah and a mountebank. "I ay this in no spirit of anger, but either your head is twisted or your heart infected, or you have blundered badly in your method. You can not bully people into Zionism nor black guard them into the kingdom of heaven. I hope you will take this in the kindly spirit In which it is offered and that it will ba blessed to you." Dowle's chief aides, his wife and son, ere about to leave him for a trip abroad. They will start on Thursday from this city taking the steamer Saxonia from Boston. They will go first to England then to Australia where Mrs. Dowle's family still lives. They do not expect to return to the United States until next July. Ool. Willis Wood Divorced. Sioux Falls, S.

Relates How the Irrigation Movement Was Started. Bismarck, N. D., Oct. 21. A new ir rigation congress primarily a state or ganization but indirectly affecting the entire northwest, was formed, and James J. Hill, president of the North ern Securities company, delivered an address late yesterday afternoon. Mr. Hill talked on irrigation and its relation to the development of the northwest and. incidentally referred to the merger ease, the trade of the Orient and its effect on the northwest.- Referring to the Great Northern he stated that the mileage of the system had Increased since 1882 from 1,007 miles to 5,598 miles in 1903. "Now. here," said Mr. Hill, "is the material growth of the northwest. In 1882 we moved 1,007,000 tons of freight; in 1903 we hauled 16,148,000 tons. In 1882 our rate for carrying a ton of freight that is, the average rate over the whole line 100 miles was $2.51. In 1892 it was $1.21, and in 1903 it is 85 cents, which is one-third of what the rate was 21 years, ago. Had the com pany received the same average rate per ton per mile in 1903 as in 1882, it would have collected $90,820,109 for freight earnings during the past year while actual collections were $30,915,000, a decrease through a reduction of freight rates of $59,904,875. That means that if the rate of 21 years ago had been in force you could not have raised grain enough to pay the cost of cultivating the soil and of paying us for carrying it to the markets. The reduction in freight rates has been brought about by increasing the value of traffic so that we have created new traffic by making it possible for them to cultivate the soil and raise crops which we carry to the market. "Before you can get the traffic you must make it, and I want you to bear in mind that whatever benefits you, di rectly or indirectly, whatever gives you pleasure, directly or indirectly will in almost every case put money in to our treasury." Mr. Hill referred only once, indirectly, to the merger, when he stated, laughing ly, that he was charged with owning all the railroads north of St. Louis but de clared that he was kept pretty busy looking after his own line. Going to the subject of irrigation he gave some interesting history after al luding to the diminishing public domain and gradual settlement of the country that is capable of producing without ir rigation. Just live years ago, he said, seeing the necessity for the irrigation of the remaining public lands for the crea tion of homes, five railroads, his own among the number, subscribed $25,000 a year to pay for a campaign of educa tion on the subject of irrigation and started it all over the country. He re lated the gradual development of the ir rigation sentiment till last year it was successfully brought to a fruition on the floor of congress. The land not sus ceptible of agriculture but which would be valuable if Irrigated, Mr. Hill gave as follows -.North Dakota 10,000.000 acres; South Dakota 5,000,000 acres; Montana 30.000,000 acres; Idaho 10,000,000 acres; Washington 15,000,000 acres. "You can add 1.000.000 farmers to this state and provide them each with a farm of 200 acres with intelligent irrigation." Mr. Hill predicted the gradual lessen ing of the size of farms until each rarm er had only as much land as will yield him the highest return for his labor. The sub division of the great farms into smaller nes, he predicted, will bring more advantages and comforts. The possibility of the diversion of the Mis souri river supply by an immense, canal to the center of the state and its dis tribution through other canals was not impossible. Larger irrigation works were in progress in other countries. It was not to be said that what wag true in India was impossible in this country; larger works than this one sug gested were in progress there. In clos ing Mr. Hill alluded to the great value of a system of practical education of pupils in schools along agricultural lines. He said: "Some of our good friends in the east have opposed national irrigation from fear that the products of western farms would be increased and compete with those of the eastern farmers. The pro ducts of the fertile lands of North Da kota however great they may be, How-t ever much they may contribute to the prosperity of those who till the soil will find in the markets of Asia an outlet which will absorb them in all the years to come." FOR AN OLD MURDER. John Healy Arraigned for Killing a Man 17 Years Ago. Chicago, Oct. 21. Accused of a mur der committed here 17 years ago, John Healy was placed on trial today. For mer friends and acquaintances now in their old age, who had nearly forgotten the man and the deed, will retell the story of the old crime and identify Healy, despite his changed appearance. Healy is said to have shot and killed Ferdinand Pommeranz in the yard of the latter's home, July 3, 1886. At the time Healy escaped and has since trav eled about the world. In the meantime a "murder was committed in Kansas City, the victim being a woman, the keeper of a little grocery, who was shot down by holdup men and Healy, under the name of Redmond, was charged with the crime. After the Kansas City murder he join ed P.oosevelt's Rough Riders, but de serted. Later he joined the army and was sent to Manila where he "was ar rested for the Kansas City murder. He was dishonably discharged and returned to face trial. Witnesses had disappear ed, however, and he was not convicted of the crime. After several more years of wandering he returned to Chicago, in the belief that his experiences and his advancing years had altered him beyond recogni tion and he was arrested here in con nection with the recent car barn mur ders, but proved an alibi. To Policeman Fitzgerald of the Deering Street station he had not changed and a chance meet ing revived in the officer's memory the face of the man whom he had tried to arrest for the Pommeranz murder. The day of the murder Healy was in Pommeranz's rear yard practicing with a revolver for the celebration of July 4. Mrs. Pommeranz, ill at the time, was disturbed by the noise and her husband ordered Healy to put away the weapon. A few words were exchanged and Healy, it Is charged, then killed Pommeranz Moran 23; Iola 0. Iola.Kan., Oct.21. Ida's football team was beaten by Moran, being shut out, 23 to 0. Moran excelled In team work and were faster on their feet. The visitors scored the first touchdown after two minutes of play, but Iola played strong er as the game progressed, Moran get ting but one touchdown in the second half. When William Allen White writes a comedy for Ezra Kendall it is likely that the character for Kendall to play will be patterned after the late humoi 1st Bill Nye. Nye .was a funny-man. -a printer and a western newspaper editor. Kendall was one time a printer and White is an editor who knows the business from ink ing the rollers to writing editorials that are read across the breadth of the coun try. With such a combination the Idea pre sented itself to Kendall that White base the play on the life of Nye. Ken dall made the suggestion to White and it is likely that he will carry it out. Kendall is playing in Kansas City this week. In an interview in Kansas' City last mgnt .tenaau said: "I am a comedian who must make them laugh. I must make the neoDle smile or I'll lose my reputation. I am not known as a portrayer of serious parts. While I might attempt pa.thos, for instance, and do attempt It. for a moment or two now and then, that is not what the public is looking to Hie for. The public wants the Jokes. "Therefore," continued Mr. Kendall."! must have a character in which I can crack jokes. A sort of village humor ist, you know. Now, if Mr. White can furnish mj such a character he can make good money. I believe he can. He seems to be a man of great mental resource. The life of Bill Nye would make a basis for an interesting play. Of course, we cannot use his -name. But we could make me a struggling printer, and all around newspaper man, such as Nye "was, and by weaving a little fieion in with the facts, make a mighty pretty little comedy.wih a touch of patho3 in the plot. Bill Nye was a long time getting -to the front, but when he got there they maoe mm write himself to death. I am looking for the result of Mr. White's work with a great deal of interest." MORE APPLES ON TREE. Pension Commissioner Ware Tells Whom He Has Promoted. Washington, Oct. 21. About forty clerks employed in the pension office have received promotions, and after the announcement waa made Commis sioner Ware called them into hiss office for a lecture. He told them that they had been promoted on their respective records and upon the recommendation of their immediate superiors in office only. He advised the clerks to seek the commendation of only their chiefs and added that any recommendation for the advancement of an employe put in by an outsider ard with the knowledge of the employe would have the .effect of debarring the employe from advance ment. He stated that he had recently been compelled to tell a clerk that if he did not stop steering statesmen up against him he would be compelled to dismiss him. "I am determined," he said, ."that promotions shall be on merit only and not because this person may. be the brother-in-law of a governor, or the nephew of a senator. No man can be loaded onto the office because he can't make a living on the outside." He concluded by saying: "There are more apples on the same tree but they will not be shaken into the laps of those who have not earned them." POPENOE BRANCHES OUT.

Security Building, DOANE BACKS OUT. Won't Plaj Football at Wash burn Saturday. Tuesday evening- a telegram wasr re ceived from the management of the Doane college football team declining to come to Topeka Saturday to play Washburn. This will be a great dis appointment to Topeka football lovera. but Manaf-er Frank Leach Is sending out telegrams in all directions trying to find some other game. He saya he will have a game Saturday on Wash burn field if he has to get out and play it himself. It Ib likely that within the next 24 hours a deal will be closed with some college for a game. It is not known why Doane canceled this game, as it agreed to come, and advertising matter for the game was in press. The probability is that Doane was a little bit afraid to meet the Washburn team. Although Washburn is not filling up its schedule as it should. It is getting lots of good practice every night against the Toneka high school team, which is about as strong as any of the minor college teams in the state. The high school has several players who are good enough for any college team, and It is also doing magnificent team work. It gives the Washburn team an interesting fight. At times the high school is able to make its gains on tiw heavy collegians, and It frequently forces Washburn to use two or three downs to make Its five yards. It is hardly expected that a high school team should hoia down such an eleven as Washburn has in the field this year, and therefore It is no dis grace to the high school to state that Washburn made eight or ten touch downs in the course of the practice. Washburn's weakest point this season is quarterback. Anderson, the regular quarter has a bad ankle which bothers him constantly, and is likely to give out in the first hard game. "Dooley" Delay also has a bad leg. and besides, tie is too light for such a game as the one with Kansas University, for Instance. Coach Kennedy is working a second team man named Steele at quarter, and he is showingfUp well. He may be used in case Anderson and Delay are crip pled. Aside from the one position of quarte back, Washburn has a finer line of sub stitutes to draw from than at at any time in its history. It could lose sev eral of its good men without seriously crippling the team. The following lisi shows the men who are able to go in and hold down the positions namea: Center: Dadisman. Bleler, Maxwell. Guards or tackles: Brown, Cunning ham, Bieler, Hale, Page, Hill, Maxwell. Amick, Carrothers and E. Page. Half back and full back: Mehl, Cald well, Millice, Amick, Carrothera. Page, the gigantic negro, Is getting out for regular work now, and is likely to crowd somebody out of the line on the first team. His immense welgTii. counts for a great deal in stopping the opposing team, and when he learns ta use his strength to best advantage h will be a terror.

HELPED GET JEFF DAVIS. John Camm a Tardy Claimant of the Reward. New Orleans, La., Oct. 21. For over thirty years the sum of $1,503.38 has been lying i the government treasury at Washington without a claimant. It is the remaiwder of an original reward of $100,000 for the capture of Jefferson Davis, president of the confederacy. JOHN CAMM, The Louisiana Claimant. John Camm. a resident of Gretna, La., who served as a lieutenant in the federal army during the civil war and aided in the capture of President Davis, believes he will have no trouble in proving that he is entitled to the money. He has in his possession the original warrant for the arrest of President Davis, signed by the president of the United States. His army certificates are duplicates, but the warrant is in the original writing. Only a few months ago Lieutenant John Camm learned of the money being in Washington still awaiting a claim ant. He wrote a. letter to the depart ment and recently received a reply from Secretary Root saying that the money would be paid upon the forwarding of the proper identification papers. The original reward of $100,000 was paid out in various sums to 154 men of the First Wisconsin cavalry and nine teen men who accompanied Captain Joseph A. Yeoman at the time of the capture of Davis aP Irwinville, Ga., May 10, 1865. The act also provided for the payment of eight additional men, six of whom were unknown at the time. When Camm learned of the reward for the men directly under Lieu tenant Yeoman, commanding the cap turing party, he immediately filed his claim. Camm's story refutes several well worn stories of how Davis tried to es cape in the 'clothes of his wife. Camm says this was not the case, and tie re lates the story of the famous capture. "We were in camp at Macon, Ga.,'' said Lieutenant Camm. "It was May 7, 1865, when Lieutenant Joseph A. leo man of the First Ohio cavalry was de tailed to arrest President Davis. He took myself and twenty union soldier from the Fourth Michigan cavalry and we set out on the still hunt. Bui nonu of us knew the mission at the etari. Yeoman alone knew what was up and that we were roi take Jeff Davis, whose hi c1 ins place had become Known to the Federal troops. "After we had marched about two days Captain Teoman drew us -Into line one day and said: 'Boys, we are going tn fa ntni-o Jeff Davis. He has about seven wagon loaas or goia money wim him and we will share it all alike if vre get him.' "That put life into the boys and there was nothing they would not have un dertaken. It was bad weather. The roads were sloppy and the red clay was sticky and hard to travel. At one point we were mistaken by the Federal lines and fired upon. It was so foggy they could not see our uniforms. But w plodded on and got out of range of Ma jor General Wilson's men who had flrea on us. "On May 10 we located the Davis camp. It was 4 o'clock in the afternoon of that day when we marched up to the spot where Davis had concealed him- Keep a doctor in the house. Ayer's Cherry Pectoral for colds. 3. C.

He had a rain coat thrown over his head, as it was raining, and his wife was there, but he never attempted to escape in her garb, as has been said. President Davis made no resistance and with him a pris oner we retired to the headquarters of Major General Wilson. -General Joseph Johnson got the money in the Davip camp and divided it among his men. We never got a dollar of it." INDIANS ARE RICH. Largest ,Per Capita Wealth of An j People on Earth. Cleveland, O., Oct.; 21. Today's session of the American Missionary association was largely devoted to reports on the Chinese and Japanese missions in Porto Rico and church work in the south. The chief feature of the session was the re port on Indian and Alaskan missions presented by the Rev. Robert W. Mc Laughlin, of Grand Rapids, Mich. He emphasized the fact that the Indians are relatively few in number. Gather all the Indians, he said, from the gulf to the Canadian line and Atlantic to Pacific, you will then have a city about the size of Milwaukee. The negro question numerically is 40 times as great as the Indian question. The Indian reservations today, the speaker continued, cover an area equal to all th& New England states, New York, New Jersey and half of Pennsylvania. The Indian has in the vaults of the United States government $240,000,000. If this money should be di vided equally among them and 250,000 receiving it should go upon their separ ate reserves as a nation they would con stitute per capita the wealthiest people upon the face of the earth. The Indian possesses the most elaborate and exten sive school system ever established by a nation for its dependent children. He has more school houses than he knows what to do with. Viewed from the standpoint of governmental administration, the problem today is really how wisely to do less for him, how to give him an appre ciation of his possessions based upon character. It is here, declared Mr. Mc Laughlin, that the fnited States gov ernment has failed. It has never found the real Indian. The Christian church can do for the Indian that which the civil government can not do. The financial report was presented and commended' the entire financial ad ministration of the association. President Charl?3 F. Thwing, T. D., LL. D., of Western Reserve university, Cleveland, presented. a report on educa tional work in the south. The secretarial paper was presented by Secretary A. F. Beard, of New York. CHILD SMOTHERED IN BIN. Caught by Suction and Drawn Into Hopper. Lancaster. Pa.. Oct. 21 The body of eight-year-old Franklin Weaver was discovered last night under a carload of corn in the third floor of an elevator owned by the (ad's father, M. Weaver, at Mounteville. The search for the child had lasted all day, and the fact that one of the corn chutes refused to work led to the discovery of the body. A carload of corn was being put into a bin on the third floor of the elevator, when the lad was told to go into the bin and sweep the corn away from the mouth of the chute. In the centre of the bin is a hopper, and the lad is supposed to have been caught by the suction and drawn into the hopper. His body stop ped the outlet and the entire carload o. corn was unloaded upon the struggling child, suffocating him. Followed His Master to Death. Boston, Oct. 21. After Charles A.

c TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, WEDNESDAY EVENING. OCTOBER 21, 1C03. 1 I I L..-J tL. I 1 J J t, 1 S' KATE CLYDE Comments Upon the Va.riows Sorts of Friendship, and Casually Makes a. Few Useful Fashion Suggestions BLESSED be our friends! When we need them they sometimes come to us: when we don't need them they always do. From this remark you will deduce the fact thrft if we need our friends it in infinitely wiser to let them think that we don't. You have the very idea. I have heard a treat deal of talk con cerning: friendship, but most of it has The man who lovea t hold your and. made me laugh. There is the friend hip that admires you, the friendship that envies you. the friendship that you amuse and the friendship that loves you. l'm-m all very demonstrative nd at times inconvenient friendships, but give me the one I -have not men tioned the friendship that does things for you. And I believe I'll enlarge on this ame friendship a little too. There are people who do things for console me when he found me heart broken over the selfishness of another, and this, too. without a thought of his personal advantage, and, let me tell you, a girl who is mourning over one man is mighty poor company for an other. Oh, yes, I appreciate very much men's friendships, and the value I put upon them is becoming higher every day. This, too. in spite of the fact that I have had experience with the other kind the man friend who is most demonstrative, whose eyes spar kle with admiration when you wear a new hat and grow dull right away when you wear an old or an unbecom ing one; the man who loves to hold your hand, but doesn't like so much to inconvenience himself for you; the man who goes into ecstasies over you when you are at your best and forgets you for days unless something special is happening or you remind him; the man who on some pretext or other fails to be on hand when you really need him: the man who is your slave when you are successful and your crit ic when you make a mistake; the man who weighs you and compares you with every girl he knows. And woe to you if you don't come out of the or deal first! He may not say anything, but you see it in his eyes. Oh, yes, I think we girls all know that man friend. He is of the common I 1 I i r' v x BLOUSE WITH STOLE OF VENISE LACE. you because they are proud of you, of your appearance, of your clothes, of yur brain, but I am not even thinking of those. Oh. kind heaven, send me the friend who likes me when I am clumsy, who laughs away my timidity and brings out the best in m when I am not quite up to the mark! Give me the friend before whom it is not mad ness to confess my weakness, the friend whose scrutiny I do not have to dread when my cheeks are pale and I am too tired to be sprightly. And blessed above all be that friend who can see me thrown into the shade by .another and still love me. Oh. yesa I am asking much, but the friend I am describing is worth much In return. Only m Few f Then. There are a few such friends among Worain, but pardon me for being cyn ical on the subject there are a great many more among men. The greatest difficulty in the way of a woman's friendship is her pettiness and of a man's his self ishness. But when a man is free from self ishness his gen erosity and self sacrifice put to shame the whole race of women. I have had, and so have you, no doubt, men friends who made a special ty of coming around every r.ow and then when they sus ected I was ictiely, and this, to, without be- it asked; of breaking in upon me when I sulked indoors, too tired or too blue to wtir out, and of forcing me to get out Into the sunshine or brilliantly lighted treats in order that I might forget my troubles. I have even had one man or garden variety, and the less of him in my garden the better. Frankipiii In Women. The quality I most admire in a wo man is frankness, because it is so rare. I can even stand a touch of brutality in a woman. A girl once was trying very hard to make friends with me. She constantly urged ine to call, etc. Knowing that she was what is called 'a climber. I put the matter straight to her. "Why on earth are you so anxious to be friends with me?" I demanded. "I can't help you. I know so few people." t She looked at me squarely !n the eyes. "Oh," she murmured, "but you know so many men!" And her frankness delighted me so that 1 invited her to dinner. On the whole. I think I get along better with her than I do with the ma jority ef women I know. For one thing. I am aware of what I am in for, and that's more than I am with the majority of them. I love to .change the subject. Well, here is a chance. Introducing a woman te a man. Poi y Skim Cukim. Have you seen the new pony skin cushions? Very expensive, but no end smart. I think they must be made of circus ponies, for they are all spotted. However, the black ana white satiny effect goes particularly well with mis sion furniture. The latter, by the way. is the very thing with which to furnish your stu dio if you haven't much money and wish to appear as If you had. If the room has bright paper use the leather cushions, but if it has not substitute cushions of gay tapestry and have a settle with half a dozen bright pillows. The dark, dull wood makes an excel lent background for all colorr but par ticularly for green, red and yellow. There are the daintiest little candle sticks, made of imitation green copper, representing owls. The owls have large ruby eyes, and the red candles have little fluffy red silk shades. 1 5 J M'A-U s TAN FELT HAT WITH NOVELTY PASSEMENTERIE BRAIDING, The new imported wall papers have particularly good designs for studios, and many imitate perfectly tapestry hangings and woven effects. Their ad vantage is that they do not fade after the manner of burlap and prints. Common Mistnlcea. It strikes me as peculiar the number of little mistakes even well bred wom en make, women who pride themselves upon knowing the world. For instance, the other day I overheard a woman ac tually introducing a girl to a man, in stead of vice versa. And how often at a function you will see a woman pass directly in front of another in- I w"-:. stead of behind her! It's something to be a critic even if you don't always do things correctly yourself, isn't it? Before I leave off I want to call your atten tion to the gown in the sketch. It is so simple it might be made at home? and yet it is very smart. The material is the' new thin chiffon velvet In a gun metal shade. It is made with folds on the blouse, on the hips, on the lower half 3f the velvet part of the sleeves and on the bottom of the skirt. The skirt is iull from the yoke. The undersleeves ire of yellow lace. The toque is of chinchilla, with a pink ostrich tip. New York. Chiffon velvet gown. THE WOMAN QUESTION. John Graham Brooks in an address on "gome Economic Aspects of the Woman Question" said: Women who used to work in the home are now doing the same work in the factory under different conditions. The making of jam, soap, candie3. etc., and one of the great primary industries, the making and distributing of clothing, all of which used to be done at home, now occupy millions of women outside the home. This disposes finally of the argu ment that woman's place is home. In dustrial evolution is taking every bit of woman's work out into the world, to be done jostling with men, under such dif ficulties and dangers as the world's open market implies, and this calls for every whit of protection we can afford her. BULBS FOR THE HOUSE. Bulbs should now be planted if on wishes for a good show of flowers foi the house in the spring. Hyacinths may be grown in glasses specially mad for the purpose. Put a small lump ol charcoal in each and fill with water to the neck of the glass. Place one good bulb in each glass so that the watei nearly, but not quite, touches it. Then store the glasses in a dark cupboard or cellar until plenty of roots have formed. Then gradually expose to the light, adding a little fresh water when neces sary. Nearly all varieties of the narcis sus may be easily grown in bowls with cocoanut fiber mixed with broken shell in the proportion of four parts of fibei to one of shell. The. fiber must never b allowed to get dry. The bowls should be filled with water once a week and then tilted. The surplus water will pour off and the fiber be kept evenly moist throughout the bowl. These bulbs, like hyacinths, must be kept in a dark place until the roots have form ed; then remove them to the light. The Chinese sacred lily, with its white, waxy flowers, so exquisitely perfumed, is easily grown. Put an inch of clean gravel at the bottom of a low dish or bowl and place two or three bulbs on this. A few pebbles or stones should be placed round the bulbs to'prevent them from falling oyer When In bloom. Put sufficient water. around the roots to keep them thoroughly wet, with a few pieces of charcoal. The water should be changed once a week. PRINCESS MARY OF WALES. Little Princes Mary is tall for her years and iifherits her; mother's, bright and pretty coloring. Her curts are of that real gold hue Which seems to re flect sunshine, at every turn of the head. She is a little personage of decided indi viduality, and her will is in conse quence rather imperious. She is by no means spoiled, however, for all the children of the Prince and Princess of Wales are taught that "treats" must be earned by hard work and attention to study. Like many only girls, the little princess much prefers boys' games, and her brothers find ih her a playmata after their own heart MISS ROOSEVELT'S TASKS. "The work of an English princess is play compared to that of an American president's daughter," remarks the Gen tlewoman, an English publication, after calling attention to the fact that Miss Alice Roosevelt was recently in urgent need of a "rest cure." "Can you won der?" it goes on. "During the last fif teen months the unfortunate girl com putes that she attended 408 dinners, 680 teas and 271 receptions, paid 1,643 calls, went to 171 balls and shook hands with between 30,080 and 40,000 persons."

Banning Co., Chicago. Cranberries. This is the most useful of all our ber ries. Maturing late in the season when most other fruits are out of market, it furnishes a condiment that is a very sheet-anchor for most housewives and especially for those who do not prepare jellies, jams and butters to serve with turkey and game. The cranberiy is easily kept all winter, and does not lose its flavor, but snould not be subject to extremes of heat and cold. It contains malic and citric acids in large amount 'and for this reason will often disagree with people unless made into a very sw'eet sauce or jelly. Th skins are tough and should always be removed. It is also somewhat astring ent and some authorities consider it of doubtful use as a food but there are tew. who will forego the pleasure of eating cranberry jelly with their Thanksgiv ing turkey at least. There are numerous other ways of using the cranberry and those who like the flavor of this tart rruit in desserts can invent a great variety of dishes which will vary their rather restricted list of fruit desserts for fall and winter. CRANBERRY JELLY. Wash two quarts of berries, pick them over and reject all faulty fruit. Put them .in a saucepan with just enough water to cover them." but not float them. Let them cook until thoroughly soft and broken, then rub them tnrougn a coarse sieve with a wooden spoon. Measure the pulp and to each cuprul al low a cup of granulated sugar. Put the pulp over the fire and let it boll hard, then stir in the sugar and stir until clear, and in a very few minutes It will jelly, remove from the fire ana pour into glasses and set in a cool place. A large quantity may be made at one time, as it will keep like other jellies. For cranberry sauce do not use so much sugar. Sweeten the strained pul to suit the taste and cook a tew minutes. This will keep several weeks, without losing flavor. CRANBERRY TAPIOCA. Soak a cupful of tanioca in cold water over night and next morning cook it in a quart of boiling water until it is a clear, thick jelly. Then add a nuart of cranberries, stewed soft with two cups of sugar and rubbed through a coarse sieve. Turn into a mould and serve when very cold with whipped cream. CRANBERRY CHARLOTTES. Line small moulds with very thin slices of white cake; fill the moulds with cranberry jam or jelly and set in a cool place. Turn out to serve and heap whirred cream over them. CRANBERRY ADE. Take two-thirds of a pint of washed and selected berries, add one cup of cold water and mash the berries to a pulp. Cook a large tablespoonful of oatmeal in two quarts of water, add ing a slice of lemon: when thoroughly cooked strain, add the cranberries and sweeten to taste. Boil again half an hour and strain. CRANBERRY FILLING FOR CAKE. A rich cranberry jelly makes a nice filling for a white layer cake. The icing used may be colored a delicate sink with a little of the juice. CRANBERRY ROLY-POLY. Measure four cups of sifted flour, add a teaspoonf ul of salt and three tea spoonfuls of baking powder and sift all together to mix thoroughly. Then rub in two tablespoonfuls of butter and mix in sufficient sweet milk to make a soft dough that will roll out easily. Roll into a sheet about Quarter of an inch thick and spread thickly with cranberry jam but not too near the edge of the dough. Roll up lightly, pinching the edges together, tie up in a piece of cheesecloth and steam for an hour or bake in a quick oven for three quarters, of an hour. Serve with hard or liquid sauce. CRANBERRY FRAPPE. Boil one quart of cranberries in a quart of water for eight minutes, then strain through a coarse cheesecloth, add two eups of granulated sugar, stir over the fire until the sugar is dissolved and let it boil up clear; then set away until cold: then add the strained juice ol twro lemons and turn into a freezer. Freeze to a soft snow, using eoual parts crack ed ice and coarse salt for freezing. Serve in stemmed glasses just after roast tur key or duck. CRANBERRY DUMPLINGS. Mix two teaspoonfuls of baking pow der and half a teaspoonful of salt thor oughly into a pint of sifted flour; then rub in two tablespoonfuls of butter.

Every wearer of the petticoat the bread and butter miss as well an iier aged granny finds life a fraud and a delusion -r s-u cannot in dulge herself in a certain amount of pocket room, and yet dressmakers steadily decline to humor her weakness. It seems, 4n fact, that dressmakers have resolved to bring about the death of the pocket. Pockets nowadays are either the mark of the mannish.-"tailor- made" woman, or the frump, and the rest of; the feminine world has to be content' to forego its comfort and put up with the very scanty and insecure accommodation afforded by the present style of -sleeve.

Fill the centers of each with washed and picked cranber ries; sprinkle thickly with sugar and a little Hour; pinch the edges of the dough together and tie up in pieces of cheesecloth. Steam or bake them and serve with liquid or hard sauce. CRANBERRY PUDDING. Pour enough boiling water over two cups of stale bread crumbs to swell and soften them; let them stand for 15 min utes, then stir in two tablespoonfuls of melted butter. When the crumbs are quite soft add two well beaten eggs and a cup of sugar. Then last of all "stir in two cups of stewed and sweetened eran- berries; turn Into a well buttered pud ding dish and bake in a quick oven. When done cover the toi with a mer ingue. Serve with a liquid sauce. BAKED CRANBERRIES. Cooking cranberries in this manner the skins will be tender and the sauce need not be strained. Wash and pick over enough berries to fill a stoneware crock two-thirds full; cover with hot water and bake until they are tender, keeping well covered. When they begin to grow soft stir in half as much sugar as there are cran berries and let them finish cooking. CRANBERRY SOUFFLE. Stew one quart of cranberries in just enough water' to keep them from burn ing; then press through a sieve; add three-quarters of a cup of sugar and let them get cold; then fold in the beaten whites of six eggs. Heap this up in a buttered dish, sprinkle with powdered sugar and bake in a slow oven for about 40 minutes. A more satisfactory way to cook the berries in order to have the pulp sufficiently thick for the souffle, is to steam them in a double boiler, ad ing but two or three tablespoonfuls of water to them. Inquiries Answered. Mrs. A. W. D. writes: Will you kind ly send me a recipe for Spanish sauce? SPANISH SAUCE. Make a brown roux or sauce in a saucepan as follows: Put in two table spoonfuls of butter and when melted add two tablespoonfuls of minced onion, one tablespoonful of minced carrot, one of minced parsley and one of minced sweet green pepper. When it colors add two tablespoonfuls of flour and stir and cook until a rich brown, then add two cupfuls of good rich stock and stir and cook until smooth and thick. Add a lit tle minced ham. a few cloves, a piece of bay leaf, and blade of mace and celery salt, salt and pepper to taste. Simmer very gently for two hours, add two or three tablespoonfuls of meat glaze or quarter of a box of gelatine softened in half a cud of cold broth or consomme. Simmer for quarter of an hour, then skim and strain. CATSUP. Mrs. E. A. H. writes: Will you kindly insert a recipe for making red tomato catsun that will be red wnen cooicea, like that we buy. I often try the recipes and am nleased with them. We cannot give you the method used by manufacturers for making the very "red" catsup you admire; but the fol lowing recipe gives you a fair imita tion. Take half a bushel of the bright red tomatoes, slice and stew in their own liouor until soft, then rub through a sieve fine enough to retain the seeds boil the pulp and juice down to the con aictpnev of annle butter, stirring to pre vent burning. Have ready one gallon of vinecar in which you have boiled tnree fourths of a cup of sugar, four ounces salt, three ounces black pepper, one ounce broken sticK cinnamon, nan an ounce cloves and a small onion sliced, if you like the flavor; when the vinegar is well flavored with the spices strain it into the tomato,"" season to taste with cayenne and boil up well; then cool and bottle. When the vinegar and spices are boil ed a long time in the tomato, especially if ground spices are used, it makes a dark catsup.

JOHNSON QUIJNJN. iTop. f, WHAT THE OID DOCTOR SAID. "Doctor," said I, "you say. appendicitis Is much more common than it was thirty years ago." "Indeed it is," replied the old doctor. 1 "That we encountered this disease then, is true, but not with such appalling fre-. quency. Appendicitis, these days, is al-, most as common as sore throat." "To what, doctor, do you attribute this increase of appendicitis?" "To hasty eating and to the use of foods which have a tendency to clog and fret the intestines and deaden peristaltic ac tion. The way to avoid appendicitis and the surgeon's knife is to shun unnatural foods that beget intestinal torpor and con-, stipation." People who eat Shredded Whole' Wheat -Biscuit do not have constipation and hence need not fear appendicitis. This perfectly r.itural food preserves the tona of the digestive tract and induces every xcretory gland to subserve the body's Interests. Have you tried this most de licious of all cereal foods? is "X have been eating your Shredded Wheat for over a yeaj- and it has completely cured me ol constipation, with -which I had been troubled for twenty years."

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, WEDNESDAY EVENING. OCTOBER 21, 1903. n EGYPTIAN MYSTi RY. You leave the region of fine and pros perous residences and walk west. Pres ently you come to rows of brown stone houses, close to the sidewalk, pathetic ally preserving the odor of faded gen tility. In the first story windows are little cards, reading "Rooms," in small and eleant type. Two blocks farther ell shame la thrown off, and house after house carries a big card with "Fur nished" emblazoned in six inch black letters. Then shortly the big old houses dis appear and you come to a quarter whero both Bides of the street are lined with little wooden cottages, dirty and unppjnted. Scattered among them at frequent Intervals are little saloons and on the front doors are home made signs announcing "Washing Done Here." There are also bushel basket3 filled with coal and kindling sitting on the side walks, with signs above them reading, "Express. Coal and Wood." In this section the cedar blocks pave ments are in a state of chronic eruption. Pools of black and oily water fill all the cavities, and bent old women slmk back and forth with baskets half full cf decayed cedar blocks and bits of board. Dirty and unshaven men, with shifting eyes, stand in groups of two or three on the corners. Everywhere are children the smaller the dirtier playing in the gutters or dodging across the streets with pails of foaming beer. In the heart of this district stands a half tumbled down wooden house of two stories. An old woman of 65, look ing ten years older, lives sin the first elory rear room. The entire upper Btory Is occupied lyy- a prosperous rag picker and his family. On either side of the door leading to the "first story front" stands a barrel anri rn rarh of the barrels stands a cag. In the cage to the right a small barn owl ruffles his feathers against the cold. In the left hand cage a half rrown crow, with clipped wing, stands on one leg and shows his discomfort by An occasional "caw." On the front door it tacked a small black placard, on which is printed in red and gold letters, now much ob peured by weather, the legend,"Jrtunes Told. The Original Egyptian Mystery." There are two small windows looking out of the "first floor front." Over one of them a black shade is pulled tightly. In the center of the other window, with Its glass eyes almost against the pane, tands a stuffed black torn cat. It was the first cold morning of the coming fall, and inside the room the or iginal Egyptian mystery was sitting close to a little stove. She threw a few corncobs into the stove and stretched out her thin and wrinkled hands to the blaze. "That's all there is, Michael," she said. Apparently she was talking to a large white rat, for that seemed to be the only other living thing in the room, with the exception of a couple of white mice in the same basket full of rags and cot ton. The original Egyptian mystery was old. Her face was wrinkled and seamed in curious lines. Her hair was thin and dirty grav, and her clothes were thin and greasy. Then there came a knock at the front door. The mystery got up quickly, took from a nail in the corner a long red and black calico robe, and threw it around her shoulders, spread a greasy pack of cards on the oil-cloth covered table, and took a teacup, half full of grounds, from the top of the littered stove. Then she sat down in her one unbroken rocking chair, took the white rat and the mice Into her lap, and called, "Come in," in a shrill, old voice. A woman of 35. wearing a second nana bov's reefer, a bedraggled skirt, and a man's straw hat. came cautiously into the room. Her face was red from the cold wind, and all the sharp angulari ties of her figure were pitifully reveal- C(1"Say, I want you should tell my for tune," she said. "Have you got the price?" demanded the Egyptian mystery. "I'll pay you sure just as soon as "Now, look here. Maggie, I've told you three fortunes on tick, and that's as far as I'll go. I got to have my 10 cents first this time." "But I got to have it told this time. And I hain't got no dime. What'll you take in trade?" "Let's see," said the mystery, shrewd ly "If you'll fetch me that basket full of cedar blocks I'll go into a trance for I'OU." The basket was seized and presently returned filled with the black and slimy blocks fresh from the untorn pavPment. "Well, what's this you want to know about, Maggie?" "It's about Tom." she began. "Uh-huh," Interrupted the mystery. "That's enough. Now just wait." She leaned back in her chair, rolled her eyes, and made a hissing sound in her tlroat. Then she leaned over and began to shuffle the cards. "I ese a dark man." "That's Tom." broke in the visitor. "He's gone away from home. He's standing in a saloon now, drinking a glass of beer. He isn't in Chicago. It looks to me like a place down south. If the little people ain't misleading me he's in Louisville, Ky." "When'll he come back to me?" asked the your-cer woman. "He'll be back when the sun shines bright again and the grass is green." "He ain't a goin' to leave me to take care of them children all alone thi3 winter, is he?" demanded the ques tioner of the oracle. "Why not ain't he?" snapped the mystery, all at once dropping her mys- A NEW

The woman in the straw hat began to cry, ruobing her eyes with the backs of her dirty and chapped hands. "Now. just wait a minute." said th Egyptian mystery more kindly. "There's a lot more to be seen in these tea grounds." The visitor stosaed her sobs and eat up to listen. "I see a tall lady in a silk dress," said the mystery- "She's standing at your door." "Is it me?" asked the caller. "No, it ain't you. But she's askin' for you. She'll want you to do her washin' every Monday all winter loug, if you don't put too much starch in the white things. And ironin' on every Tuesday. And she says that a dollar and a half a day ain't a bit too much." "That's pretty nice, ain't it?" asked the questioner. "Yes it is. And there's more yet. I. see another lady, in a sealskin cloak. She wants her floors' scrubbed and all her windows washed once a week. She thinks you can do it all in a day and a half. That'll be two and a quarter more. Altogether I can see five and a quarter a week right steady for you all winter long." "Well! well!" burst out Maggie. "Looks like I was goin' to get along fine after all. I most knowed Tom had run off again, but of course I was hopin' the cards 'd show something dif ferent." "I've told you what them cards show ed," said the mystery. "And if you had any sense you wouldn't take up with him again, come next summer." "Well, maybe I won't. That's too far off to say fer sure yet. But I'm glad I come over and had it told. That news you brought me about them two ladies in silk dresses is mighty cheering." "It takes mightv little to cheer some people up," said the original Egyptian mystery as her customer went out into the street. Chicago xnoune. BI10THER GARDNER. He Gives Some Paternal Advice to a Departing Brother. Four weeks ago Shindig Watkins of the Lime Kiln club received an offer to go to Indianapolis and establish a color ed ice cream and popcorn depot, with sarsaparilla and molasses candy on the outside, and he at once began getting his shoes mended and the buttons sewed on his vest. At the last meeting of the club it was announced that he had seceeded in borrowing 90 cents of Elder Penstock, and would start on his journey next day. After the routine business had been transacted Brother Gardner arose and looked around and queried: "Am Brudder Shindig Watkins In our midst dis eavenin'?" "He am," replied the brother, as he stood up. "I didn't know but yo' had dun fell outer de winder into de alley, same as once befo', an' Ize glad to find to de contrary. Brudder Watkins, Ize bin told dat yo' talk o' leavin' us?" "Yes. sah; I does." "Gwine down to Injianny to sot up. in biziness fur yo'rself, I hear?" "Yes. sah." "Wall, dis club will miss yo', an' each an' ebery member will be sorry to see yo' go. While yo' am not a brilliant man, neither hev -yo' spit on de stove nor broken any lamp chimneys. As dis am de last meetin' befo' yo'r departur' 1 wish to say a few fatherly words to yo'." t "He kept chickens and he didn't have no latch on de hen house door.." "Yes, sah. "In de fust place, pay up all yo'r debts befo' yo' go. Had Sicero left Rome owin' fur house rent, groceries. bacon an' so on. he could never hev achieved greatness. In de second place, if yo've bin mad at anybody bekase yo' couldn't agree about de aige of Noih when he entered de ark, go to him an" offer yo'r hand an' make friends." "I has dun it, sah," replied Shindig. "Dat am well. I also want to take advantage of dis occashun to say a few words to yo' on de subject of honesty. "A good many years ago. as de story runs, dar' was a strictly honest man. He had begun life wid de determina- shun to do de squar' thing under all sarcumstances. He had a cash capital TYPE OF FRENCH CRUISERS. -x,,r3"--? Frer.ch cruiser, designed for the destruction of an enemy's commerce, is now in New York the queer looking craft goes to Philadelphia.

He kept chickens an' didn't hev no locks onde hen-house doah. He lent monev an' didn't ax for no I. O. U. He siened bonds and notes an' didn't ax fur no security. If he bought a mewl he took the odder man's word fur it; if he sold one he promptly pointed out de ringbones and spavins an' owned up dat the beast was about twenty yeara old. "Brudder Watkins, how long do yo' reckon dat man lasted In jest nine years he was in de poorhouse, an he nebber dun got out agin. All de rest of de kentry was watchin" him to sea how de experiment would pan out. It was a deatl failure an' a solemn warn in'. Does i'o' ketch on, Brudder Wat kins?" "I reckon 1 does, sah," was the re Dlv. "Doan' go down to Injianny feelin' dat vo' am doin' de state a great favor by de comin'. an' doan' attempt to put on style ober de people yo' meet.

"Yes, sah; ize gwine to mix 'em about half an' half," smilingly replied the brother. "Dat's a heap o' starch, but mebbe not too much. I doan know how yo' stand on de matter of chickens, Brud der Watkins, but in removin' to a new community it seems to me dat yo' had better go slow. Dat am, doan' let yo'r hankerin' fur chicken git de better of yo'r judgment. Let bacon an' codfish satisfy yo' until yo' hev looked around.

THE CITY BEAUTIFUL. What Civic Improvement Society Is Doing for Hamilton, Oot. Hamilton is being made more attrac tive every year through the efforts of the Civic Improvement society, which awards prizes for the best kept lawns, flower boxes and gardens. The idea is bo excellent that it is remarkable that it has not been more generally adopted. The natural tendency of all centers of population is toward ugliness and un tidiness. To resist this and aspire tow ard "the city beautiful" is a worthy ef fort. We are influenced more thari we are generally willing to acknowledge by our surroundings. The power of beauty to cheer and purify human nature is im measurable. Why, then, should all the natural beauty of a city be confined to its parks, or its boulevards, which are visited only on rare and exceptional oc casions? Here and there, it is true, efforts are made to beautify the daily surrounding. In this city some of the modern factor ies are adorned with flowers and cling ing ivy. For this, and the consequent appearance of cheerfulness, the public, we believe, is sincerely grateful.. It Is a contribution to the comfort of everyone. The splendid lawns and the gardens of our residential quarters also appeal to niihii nnnrenlatlnn. But there are dis tricts of the city in which the sun of beauty seldom shines. Prominent among these are the business quarters, where the tiresome monotony of brick walls is rarely relieved by the presence of any green thins. It is here that the people spend .most of their time, and here it is that beauty and freshness are most re quired. In the more humble quarters, too, though there is many a homely gar den, and many an effort to catch an in spiration from nature, the lack of beau ty is often painful and depressing. Any thing that will awaken an interest In the adornment of a city, and stimulate efiort along that line is a wholesome and valuable influence. By all meaus, let us beautify our cities, and if Ham ilton has shown us how to do it thor oughly and well we shall be gratefuL Toronto Mall and Express. H U J10R0F T HE DAY.

The State Historical society has re ceived a relic of unusual historical val ue. It includes the transit, tripod and chain with which Mr. A. D. Searle laid out the cities of Lawrence and Topeka. This instrument comes from the widow of Mr. Searle, now living in Leadville, Col., says the Lawrence World. Mr. Searle came to Lawrence with the pecond party, September 15, 1S54. The irst party arrived August 1, 1S54, and consisted of 30 persons. The second par ty numbered 114.

Searle, Was procured from Lawrence, and the Work of surveying the platting the town Topeka) was commenced about the 20th of December," (1S54). In making the plat of the city of To- f)eka he marked a large square, "Cap tol square," and on this land the cap tol building now stands. This was be fore the days of government surveys in Kansas. He also iaid out Manhattan, Uurlington, El Dorado and Osawatomie Knd several other towns along the line Df the Union Pacific, no doubt with this fame Instrument. In 1856 he published B. map of eastern Kansas. Albert Dwlght Searle was born at fcouthampton. Mass., July 6, 1831.

Asbury Park, N. J.. Oct. 21. "I am greater than Dowie. He is the Elijah of his Zion. but I am both Elijah and Moses of my dominion." Thus siwke Bishop L. B.

Heller has asked the county clergymen to meet with him to discuss the advisa bility of accepting Dowie's proposition.

STANDS BY ITS USE. Sajs That a Little Formalde hyde Isn't Injurious. Affidavit Filed Giving Facta About Adulterated Milk. In speaking of the charges which have been filed against him by H. R Howard, City Food Inspector Farns worth said today: "I have read these documents over carefully, and I am not a bit worriei for fear I shall lose my job. At the proper time I will make my answer. I am not going to say anything new. There is nothing in the charges." One of the affidavits filed to show that Mr. Farnswortb. has been neglect ing his duties is sworn to by C. K. Gray, the Continental Creamery com pany chemist. It gives the names of dairymen from whom samples of "pre served" milk have been obtained. The portion of the affidavit civing the names is as follows: "Two .Bamales, of milk from Mr. Packard, near the corner of Tenth and Topeka avenue, showed strong formal dehyde. "One sample from J. E. Nissley Co., Sixth and Topeka avenue, showed the presence of boron compound. "One sample from Orchard Hill dairy, corner Sixth and Clay, showed stro. formaldehvdo. "One sample of milk from Heinz Co., on East Eighth street, showed for maldehyde. "One sample of milk received from John Elliott, 918 Topeka avenue, stated by him to have been received from Heinz Co., showed strong formalde-hi-rfe. "One samiile of milk from the Olive dairy, bixtn and Topeka avenues, showed no preservative whatever. "One sample of milk from the O'Brien dairy, South Washburn avenue, showed no preservative whatever. "One ice cream sample from Scott's ice cream factory and one ice cream sample from Heinz Co. showed no Drcaorvp.tive. "On July 22. 1901. a sample of skim milk from J. E. Nissley Co. showed the presence of formaldehyde. "C. E. GRAY." Mr. Gray has been represented as be ing connected with the United States department of agriculture. It is said that this claim will be disputed, and that evidence will be produced to show that Gray has no connection .with the department of agriculture, and is simply an employe of the Continental -cream ery. Mr. Farnsworth's friends will make an effort to show that the fight is in spired by the Continental creamery for the purpose of injuring the J. E. Niss ley Creamery company. They will as sert that the real object of the fight on Mr. Farnsworth is not to get Farns worth out, but to make a "case" against Nissley on the charge of putting for maldehyde in the milk which he sells. They think that H. B. Howard, though sincere in his fight, is being used as a tool by the Continental creamery. There is no doubt that Howard is be ing backed up by. the Continental creamery people, and all of the affidavits have a tendency to single out Nissley for punishment. The following is one of these affidivits which is directed espec ially against Nissley: "My name is John Sheetz; I live at 512 Chandler street. I started to work for J. E. Nissley about April, 1902, and continued working for him until about Christmas, 1902. During that time the employes of the Nissley creamery plant were familiar with the use of preserva tives in milk. The kind that was used during the time I was employed there was made a man named O. G. Matthew son, Topeka, who made deliveries peri odically and would take away the empty bottles when he delivered the fluid. The name of this preservative went by the name of 'milk purifier." The directions for use were placed on the back of the bottles. We used about two ounces to each 25 gallons of milk. Mr. James NEW C0L0MIAL HFf wet ir-.n'V i Sir r-r V'- '.T is i Z t f r' V t J l -j Alfred Lyttleton, who suddenly springs into prominence by becom ing the new British colonial secretary in Mr. Balfour's cabinet, is eighth son of the fourth Baron Lyttleton and a brother of Viscount Cobden. His father married a sister of the wife of W. E. Gladstone, with whom he was always a great favorite. He is deputy high steward of Cambridge and recorder of Oxford and a great cricketer and tennis player.- Groft, was my fellow employe at that time and was foreman of the plant. He assisted me in the use of the- preserva tive which was at aU times required by Mr. Nissley. This continued up to and was in vogue at the time I left his em ploy. JOHN SHEETZ." To show where Nissley got the "milk purifier" which it is claimed he used, the following affidavit is presented: "Mr. O. G. Matthewson stated to'the undersigned that the rjreparation 'Pre servative' formerly sold by him was originally" prepared for Mr. Matthew son by his nephew, who has been a student and for the past year a teacher of chemistry at the Kansas State .Agricultural college. Mr. Mat thewson stated that he had used the preparation himself while in the dairy business, and had quite an extensive sale for same, but had temporarily dis continued its. manufacture on account 01 the recent formaldehyde agitation m this city. He further stated that toi maldehyde was used in his preparation, but in very small proportions. One tea spoonful of the preparation was used to a gallon, of milk. "JAMES J. CARKILL."1 The petition asking for Farnsworth's dismissal is Eigned by a great many grocery dealers, of the city, and it is claimed by one of the city solicitors for the Continental Creamery. IS FORMALDEHYDE INJURIOUS Mayor Bergundthal thinks that there is considerable doubt whether formaiae hyde, properly used in milk, is injurious to health. He says: "Nearly all of the. leading physicians of the acity say that a littie formalde hyde in milk is not injurious. don't claim to know whether this is true or not, but I simply state it to show what the doctors think." Food Inspector Farnsworth also seems to be inclined to believe that a little for maldehyde is of no special harm. He says that he knows of many people who prefer to have it in their milk, as the milk keeps better in hot weather. "Halt of the people who take milk have no ice." says Mr. Farnsworth "and with out some sort of preservative, their milk would be sour within 12 hours." POLICE NOTES. Patrolmen have been instructed to pick ud a few "vass," and they onened fair and warmer last night by taking in "Callie" Mitchell and Logan Justis, two negroes of shady reputation. They want Hayti Weatherly also, but up to date he has not been found. VTayti promised the court that he would go out of town. It has been reported to the police that he did so, but came back and carved his lady love, "Battle axe" Lane, at her bungaloo in the sand hills of North Topeka. They cannot find the Lane woman to substantiate the report, but they want Hayti any way. H. McMillan, who resides with Mrs. T. Sellers, of Twelfth and Kansas ave nue, has been arrested for stealing brick bats. It seems that Mr. McMil lan could not resist the temptation to acquire a pile of bricks which were piled in front of his boarding place to be used in paving. It got him into trouble. Mrs. Sellers is the lady at whose house one Johnson, a young Swede, manufactured a few spurious nickels about two years ago, and was subsequently sent to the penitentiary after being caught with the goods by Messrs.

Judge Favors Lath for Wife-Beaters of Nation's Capital. Washington, D. C.. Oct. 21. The agi tation for a whipping post here has been renewed. Judge Ivory G. Kimball, of the police court, believes the whipping post should be again set up in the Dis trict of Columbia for the punishment of husbands who beat and maim their wives. "No punishment is too severe for a man who beats his wife,"' says Judge Kimball. "Some wife beaters, cruel as they are, support their families. If they are sent to jail their families are left to shift for themselves. We need legis lation whereby such offenders can be punished without injuring the family. In my opinion the whipping post is the proper punishment for the man who as saults his wife. Delaware has success fully used such form of punishment and I believe the District can do so."
