The bank at five this point early Friday morning were cap- tured last evening about 5 o'clock on an island in the Arkansas river, and are now lodged in the jail at Newton. One of the men was badly wounded. They give their names as James Bell, 25 years old. George Olson. 28 years, E. H. Jonn- Fton, 38 years, Thomas White, 24 years, and Frank Harwood. 26. They stoutly deny having robbed the bank and claim that they are Kansas City and eastern iron workers cutting across country to the Missouri Pacific to beat their way s to Pueblo. When captured they had but ,18 in -P SsShlu Opp! their possession, t,on tQ the whole scheme is expected on During the fight of Friday morning tng part ot tne p0rte, but the Austrian between two Burrton men and three of anIi Russian ambassadors demand the the bandits, Harry Westmacot, former- adoption of the plan with the least pos- ly a student at St. John's Military acad- I u- 1 emv, a pursuer, firing a double reled shotgun filled E. H. Johnston's hfad, breast, arms and face with No. 4 shot. At this point Johnston dropped his revolver and the bandits moved on and the pursuers retired. About 3 o'clock Friday afternoon 150 determined men from Burrton and vi cinity, heavily armed, went to the scene of the encounter where they found a bloody revolver and a trail of Blood. They took up the trail and followed it across a field of ploughed ground. They were aided by occasionally finding a bloody rag which the bandits were evi dently using to staunch the wounas. The trail led south and west towards the Arkansas river at Wichita. In many places it was guesswork to follow It, but tracks of the bandits were al ways found further on, and the indi cations were that one of the robbers was lagging or being assisted to move along. About 5 o'clock the oath of the dynamiters ended at the river bank op posite a good sized Island in the Ar kansas. Detachments were at once sent out, completely surrounding the is land. After a conference of the pur suers thirty of them, led by E. E. Shive, assistant cashier of the bank, armed with Winchesters, started to wade across to the island, upon which no sign of life aDpeared. The rest of the posse distributed themselves along the bank, covering the island with loaded guns. With the near approach of the pur suers to the island the robbers shouted that they would give up, and the sur render followed. One of the five robbers who gave his name as E. H. Johnston was suffering severely from the wounds inflicted by Harry Westmacott in the battle on Fri day morning. He is the oldest man in the party and appears to be the leader of the gang and though the bandits would have made much better time hid they not been hampered by their wounded leader they refused to desert him. even when they knew they were about to be captured. The men were feen fr quently during the nine-mile chase and the posse was so well organ ized that escape was impossible. Today searching parties are going over the route trying to discover the money where the robbers have undoubt edly buried it or sunk it in the sands of the Arkansas river. It is suggested that the prisoners are the same men that "held up" the McFarland eating house a couple of months ago. In many respects the descriptions of the parties tally. There is no doubt whatever about the identity of the men though they stoutly declare their innocence. W. L. Dr.ily saw the men in Burrton on Friday evening when they came into hW More end bought some fruit. They were aiso seen loafing tbout town by otitrr in the evening and Mr. Daily and crinrs have fully identified the men. The men were keot under guard here until noon when they were taken to Newton where :hey were placed m jail. Johnston, the wounded robber, m.iy be fatally hurt. The looted bank resumed business at noon Friday as if nothing had hap pened, and the depositors are being raid and loans made as usual. The bank usually carried something like $2,500 or $3,000 on hand, the re nainder of their deposits being with the f tate Exchange bank at Hutchinson end banks at Kansas City and other flaees. They had about $1,000 less than this amount when dynamited as the Ftate Exchange bank had sent that cmount by registered mail on the late right train and it had not yet arrived at the bank at the time of the robbery. The money should have been sent Thursdav morning, but the request for 5t was delayed and the money was sent Thursday night instead. J. W. Shive is the president: J. A. Welch, of Burrton, the vice president, end J. T. Shive, cashier. The capital Is $25,000. and there are about $120,000 In deposits. Most of the deposits are with. the State Exchange bank and with other correspondents. Not over J3.000 was kept at any time. and. on account of the money from Hutchinson not being sent the total loss was $1,000 less than this amount. Stabley Is Re-elected. London, Oct. 24. Lord Stabley has been re-elected without opposition on his appointment as postmaster general to represent West Haughton in parliament. BELL REFUSES. Declines to Submit to Courtmartial, Orders on File. Denver, Colo., Oct. 24. The court martial today in executive session took up for consideration the demand of counsel for General Chase, charged with perjury, disobedience and insubor dination that Adjutant General Sher man M. Bell, who is the author of the charges shall submit certain orders on file in his office in evidence. It is claimed that these orders will entirely defeat the charges against General Chase. Adjutant General Bell declined to bring them in upon request of coun sel for the accused, claiming that the public was not entitled to know their contents. SCHEME OF POWERS.

He went to Mex ico, but failed to find work there and started for Honolulu but had no better success there in his attempt to get employment. He traveled under an as sumed name. Since his arrival here, he tried to ob tain work, even as a day laborer, but failed. All the money he had left was stolen from him. Brown expressed a desire to be taken to New Holland at once.

Young Man Told Forbes Lucky Strike. of Said He Was Nephew and Would Help Him. THEY WERE CAREFUL. "Assayer" Said Brick Was Worth $30,000. Chemical Test Made in a To peka Drug Store. Confidence Man Writes Letter to Victim He Duped. Carbondale, Oct. 24. Robert Forbes, a wealthy citizen of this place, is the victim of a gold brick swindle that cost him $5,000 in cash. About 15 years ago Mr. Forbes went to New Mexico, where he worked in the mines. He located several valuable Street Commissioner Snyder today.

He was roughly dressed and looked like a miner. His face was covered with a growth of stubby beard, and his appearance dicated that he had been working hard. The stranger hunted up Mr. forbes and told him that he was his neohew. Thomas Forbes, and that he had just returned from New Mexico. He soent an hour talking of people and places dangerous to vehicles.

T I f. i I i brouerht with him from New Mexico. He said that if Mr. Forbes carei to invest he would leave the gold brick with him and would re turn to New Mexico and send him nn- other which he had secreted there. He wanted the gold to be in safe hands. Robert Forbes knows something about mining and mines and the story of the young man had a genuine ring. He told him that he would go to To peka with him where the matter could be fixed up. Forbes and his supposed nephew then came to Topeka. The young man took him to his room in a hotel where he showed him the brick. The old man's eyes glistened with sat isfaction as he held the precious metal in his hands and the two started for a jewelry store. The brick was carried carefully concealed under the young man's coat. On the way to the jewelry stove the two men stopped at a drug store and drank some soda water. They there met another man who was talk ing of his work as a chemist and as sayer and the "nephew" said that he has something to show him and tie three went behind the prescription cf.se where the supposed chemist examined the gold brick and appeared to make some chemical tests. He then said. "Why, sir, that is worth J3O.000. Where did you get it?" The "nephew" said that he got the brick in a New Mexican mine and then the chemist proposed to buy the mine. Then the young man appeared to grow suspicious and told his "uncle" that they had better go. "This brick is to be left with my uncle, Mr. Foroes," he said, "and it is not for sale. We own this mine and know when we have a good thing." When Forbes and his chaperon left the drug store the young man started for a jewelry store but Mr. Forbes said that it was not necessary and that he was satisfied. He offered to give the young man a check for $5,000 but this was refused and he said he must have the cash and Forbes then went to a bank and got the money. They went to a room where the brick was carefully deposited in a trunk, which the voung man said had cost him $50. It was not deemed safe to send such a large sum to Carbondale on the train so a team was hired at a livery stable and the two men armed themselves to guard the treasure. The trip was made v!th out incident and the trunk with its con tents was left at Mr. Forbes' home. His reputed nephew said that r.s soon as he returned to Nw Mexico be -would send him the second gold brick and t-e stock which was represented ry tne $5 iwi tip id bv Foro. Then came a long weary wait of days and davs for the stock and the second brick. When two week" had pissed Mr. Forbes bean to grow anxious but he still had fah but on Thursday he was awakened from his dream by the fol lowing letter: Robert Forbes, Esqur., Carbondale, Kansas. Dear Uncle: I have concluded not to send you the other gold brick one may be enough. All is not gold that glitters. Better examine what you have. No one would have known me 15 minutes after I left you. Your affectionate neonew, TOMMY. Mr. Forbes fished un the brick and of course found that it was brass and worth a few cents. He is out $5,000 and now knows that he has been duped. He says that he ws hvnnotized by the young man and that if he hd been in his risrht min1 he would rot have leen taken in so easily. He believes that the i men who robbed him live in Toneka and officer) have been there since trying to fip t"m but "Wlbniit success. j It is believed that the same man tried to fleece a wealthv citizen of Overhrook but the man became suspicious and so escajped. APPLIES TO. ISA I LEY. Ohio Politician Wants to Snow About Woman Suffrage. Governor Bailey received a letter this morning from an Ohio politician who will debate on the woman's .suffrage question. He wanted to know how suf frage works in Kansas. Governor Bailey, who, perhaps, wise ly, does not intend to tangle up in such a momentous question, referred the let ter to Judge West for answer. Judge West replied that with a good deal of urging women would vote when they had the chance but they wouldn't vote even with the chance unless there was a good deal of prodding. IT'S OFFICIALLY CLEAN. 0. K. of Street Commissioner Put on North Topeka. North Topeka is declared by the street commissioner to be offlclally cleaned up, and hereafter the Norm To peka people who dump mud from their premises into the street will be treated as law breakers, just as if tney were on this side of the river. The following notice was issued today by Street Com missioner Snyder and approved by Mayor Bergundthal: "Notice is hereby given that no person will be permitted to throw any u;rc or rubbish of any description in any of the streets, avenuts or alleys in the city ot Topeka, in violation of the ordinances ot said city. The street force for some time has been removing all sucn dirt and rubbish, but will oo so no longer; and the ordinances of the city prohibit ing such material from being tnrown in the streets will be hereafter strictly en forced."

BOUND FOR AUSTRALIA The Story Is Denied Vigorously by the Restorer. Officials Say Car Is Scheduled to Return Today. Boston, Oct. 24. John Alexander Dowie, his wife and son, A. J. Gladstone Dowie, arrived here early today in the private car Iolanthe. All efforts to approach the inmates ot j ceremony of the greatest magnitude the car were futile. The doors were since the dedication of the Louisiana locked and the curtains pulled down Purchase exposition itself, was conduct when the car arrived and attempts tojed on the exposition grounds this af gain admission were blocked by attaches ternoon in the dedication of the Temple of the car, who said that Mr. Dowie I of Fraternity, a building of immense positively refused to see anyone. j New York, New Haven Hartfora i railroad officials said that the Iolanthe was scheduled to return to New York at 2 o'clock this afternoon. Dowie was seen later and denied abso lutely that he is to sail for Australia with his wife and son. He said he would return to New York at 2 o'clock this afternoon. The Dowie party ate breakfast in their car, and about 9 o'clock Mr. Dowie, accompanied by his wife and son, appeared on the platform, attired for the street. Replying to questions, Dowie said that he had come to Boston with Mrs. Dowie and his son to see them safely on board the vessel in wnicn tney were to sail ior migiana on their way to Australia, He said he j would be here but a short time, as he i 1 .J .J 1 1 1. tv- -r 1. intended to start back to New York as soon as they sailed. At this ooint he was told of a report which had been published that he in tended to sail with his wife, abandon ing his New York crusade. Dowie de nied with great positiveness the truth ot the report. He said that it was ab solutely false; that he had no intention of sailing for England and that heiagers, the ceremony being conducted should return to take u:j his work in by C. F. Hatfield, secretary of the board New York, starting this atternoon. The party then entered a carriage and were driven to the steamship wharf where they were joined by Mrs. stern, the private secretary to Mrs. Dowie, and Gladstone Dowie's valet. ration for the last eight months and that he was losing nothing by Deing ul -""'1y as me ff meetlngS nad Provlaea Ior a ..j shall continue the meetings at MaQison Square Garden until November i he continued.

The Saxonian. in which Mrs. Dowie and her son took passage, sails snortly before 1 o'clock. Just prior to the time of her leaving Dr. Dowie came ashore and entering a carriage, was driven back to the South station. New lork, Oct. z. The Times is authority for the statement that, guarding his movements with all possi ble secrecy, John Alexander Dowie, "Elijah, the restorer," left New York at midnight for Boston, carrying all his family and baggage with him in his private car. He absolutely decline! to indicate in any way when he will re turn to this city and the information obtained was that he intends to sail with his family for Australia. It was impossible to ascertain last night whether any provision had been made for the members of the Zion restoration host now at Madison Square Garden, either for their return to Zion City, or for their maintenance while here. Upon arriving at the station Dowie and his family made for the private car Iolanthe, which was in the yard, but before reaching it he was approach ed by a press representative and asked when he would leturn to New York. "Peace be to thee." was his only re- plv Yes, T understand that; out wnen are you "'f,-tip snn as Te' hdhtsTatr SS quickly following with Mrs. Dowie.

There was no demonstration of any sort about the station, and the only persons gathered outside of the few members of the host were travelers, who were waiting for trains and who showed a lively interest in the affair. New York, Oct. 24. Several hundred Zionites today went on a steamboat excursion around the city and the trip was expected to continue down the bay and cut to sea as far as Scotland light ship. There were very few persons at the early morning meeting In the Madi son Square Garden. Overseer Speecher addressed the audience. He said that Dowie would return from Boston in time to be present at the early meeting tomorrow. There was no noon day meeting today, but the usual service will be held tonight.

In his address before the Socialist club at Lincoln Post hall Sunday after noon at 3 o'clock G. C. Clemens will briefly but fully explain Socialism as the practical Socialists of the world un derstand it. He detests vague thinking and will racke the matter plain. This will be a good chance to learn Socialism, "while you wait," and from one who understands It, for' Mr. Clemens is the author of a little work on the aubiect of which more than a hundred thou sand coDies have been circulated. The meeting is free to everybody, and Clemens says he will take it as a spe cial kindness if "the heathen" will at tend: he does not like to talk to the "righteous" alone. FAIR FLAG UNFURLED. Fraternity Building Is Dedi cated at St. Louis. St. Louis, Mo.. Oct. 24. A dedication proportions, in which meetings of the different fraternal organizations of the country win pe neia. xne style or erec tion of the structure is an adantation of the Parthenon at Athens and con tains eighty committee rooms, a large hall and an open court in the center. At 1:30 o'clock the ceremony began with a parade to the fair grounds in which scores of different fraternal or ganizations were" represented. The long line of uniforms and symbols of the different orders presented in many re spects, though on a smaller scale, a counterpart ofthe processions that lent pomp and ceremony to the dedication of the fair. When the procession had reached the fair grounds the long line was augmented by the procession of the women's auxiliary branches of the orders, and the line of march was then direct to the Temple of Fraternity. 'Thousands of people surrounded the building, as since daylight the different trains had been pouring streams or visitors into the citv. President D. R. Francis of the World's Fair delivered the address of welcome, which was responded to by President Noah M. Given of the Frater nal Building association. The flag of the fair was then untiurled above the building by Mrs. George J. Frankel, secretary of the board of lady man- I ef directors of the World's Fair Fra- ternal Building association, Speeches followed from Lee W. Squires, president of the Associated Fraternities of America; Mrs. G. L. Miller, president of the auxiliary board Colored Pupils Make a New More in the Controversy. Chanute, Kas., Oct. 24. The colored agitation has broken loose once more and promises to assume warlike propor tions a second time. On reliable infor mation It is learned that on next Mon day morning all colored school of the city will make application for admit tance into the various grades and de partments of the nearest ward schools, excepting that none will apply at the building designated for their use. This concerted move is said to be in conformity writh the legal action brought by their attorneys, and which is to be given a hearing by Judge Stil well the 16th of next month. Of course the pupils will be denied admis sion as heretofore, but the attempt to enter will furnish a basis for legal ac tion. The school board seems to have gotten into an exceedingly unpleasant dilemma. SAUSAGE MILLS STOP. Fifteen Hundred Workmen Go Out on Strike in Chicago. Chicago, Oct. 24.

WILD RUSH OF ARMEDJjITIZENS People of West Chester Thought Postofiice Was Attacked. Panic Cansed by Explosion oi Car of Dynamite. BROKE EVERY GLASS. Not a Whole Pane Within Hall a Mile. Woman Thrown Out of Bed and Policeman Knocked Down. New York, Oct. 24. Three freight cars, one of them loaded with dyna mite, that had broken away from a freight train on the Harlem river branch of the New York, New Haven Hartford railroad at Bay Chester, early today collided with the remainder of the train at the bottom of a iteep decline, and the car with the exolosiva in it was blown up, demolishing three other cars. The engineer, Thomas Corrlgan, was thrown oft his seat and was for a few minutes slightly stunned. He man aged to regain his presence of mind, however, and shut off steam, bringing the train to a stop. Nearly every house in Bay Chester suffered damage from the exolosion.' Ai woman who was thrown from bed la be lieved to be the only person who waa injured by the explosion. A policeman who was crossing the tracks a mils from the scene, was knocked down by the concussion. The three detached cars and the rear car of the main portion of the train were buried. Within half a mile of tha Bay Chester station not a pane of glass in any of the houses remained Intact. In West Chester village almost a panio reigned. Men rushed to the postoffica armed with clubs, guns and knives, believing that burglars had blow open the safe. Boat houses on Long Island sound, half a mile away from tha scene of the explosion, were wrecked. There was some damage done at City Island. TO SUCCEED HERBERT. Appointment of Sir ileurj Mort imer Durand Is Confirmed. London, Ocf. 34. The Associated Press is able to announce the appoint ment of Sir Henry Mortimer Durand, the British ambassador at Madrid as British ambassador to the United States to succeed the late Sir Michael Herbert. Official announcement of the appoint ment, however, will not be niade until Monday, when the king will formally sign his commission. Sir Henry Durand left London yester day for Madrid, where at his own de sire, he will personally announce his promotion. The selection of Sir Henry to succeed Sir Michael Herbert was surprise to most people here, chiefly be cause he has never had any official con nection with Washington. The Associ ated Press learns that Sir Henry has frequently expressed a great liking for Americans and a desire to go to the United States. His promotion comes more or less in the ordinary course of diplomatic changes, but one of the strongest recommendations which ap pealed to Foreign Secretary Lansdowne was Sir Henry's reputation of being an excellent lawyer. A similar qualifica tion had much to do with the late Lord Fauncefote's selecetion. The new ambassador will speedily bill farewell to the Spanish court and pro ceed to the United States without de lay. Lady Durand Is not very strong, but it is hoped that the American climate will benefit her health and enable her to completely fulfill her duties as host ess of the British embassy. The daugh ter of Sir Henry and Lady Durand ia much liked in Madrid society. Their son Is an officer in a lancers regiment. Sir Henry Howard, the British min ister at The Hague and Luxemburg, and Sir Nicholas O'Connor, the British ambassador at Constantinople, were among others considered for the cost, but Sir Henry Durand was finally se lected as the most suitable. While British minister to Persia, Sir Henry was regarded in St. Petersburg as being the most astute diplomat Great Britain ever sent to Teheran. Washington, Oct. 24. The significant and important feature of the selection of Sir Henry Mortimer Durand, British ambassador at Madrid, as ambassador to Washington, is the fact that it is the first time the British government has sent an ambassador directly to Washington. Heretofore Washington has been looked .upon as a post ranking at the foot of the embassies, hence it has been the custom to promote a min ister to the embassy here. So the action of the British government in this case marks a growing sense of appreciation of the importance of Washington as a diplomatic iost. BALL LEAGUE TANGLE. Session in St. Louis t ails to Come to Satisfactory Settlement. St. Louis. Oct. 24. The executive committee of National Association of Professional Leagues, which was In ses sion most of last night, closing the drafting system and matters pertaining thereto, resumed work today and at noon was still in session. Representa tives of the eastern league and Ameri can association who left the meeting early in the session have not returned, but President Powers declares that when the regular sessions of the conven tion are resumed they will be present. President Powers is placed in rather an anomalous position as he Is an offic ial of the Eastern league, which threat ens to secede and was the other day elected president of the minor leagues.

Equal Suffrage Association to Have Bazaar at Chicago. Out of the Kansas Equal Suffrage as sociation has grown a Kansas Woman's Bazaar association and for their initia tive work they will hold a bazaar anu exhibition in Chicago, from November 18 to 25 inclusive. The ladies of this as sociation throughout the state have fur nished large quantities of fancy work and other things that go to make up an excellent woman's bazaar, while the ex hibit will consist in advertising western Kansas tunds. About twenty counties will be given a prominent place in the exhibit. Each will be given a space ten feet square, upon which will be built a booth, decorated with the products ot the county and with pictures of various scenes in the county. Pawnee county is in charge of Mr. 3. V, Upson of Lamed. As Pawnee county is pre-eminently a wheat anl alfalfa county, the booth decorations will be principally of these products. This year Pawnee county's wheat crop yielded 540 bushels to every person in the county. Its second leading product is alfalfa and much of its lands can still be bought ai from ten to twenty dollars per acre. Iij addition to these products, there will be Pumpkins, melons, Kaffir corn, etc., to how the general productiveness of the county. Tord county will be represented by G. Ji. Palner Co. A farm will be auc tioned from this county and the prin cipal products wilt be shown In the booth, though wheat and corn will prob ably figure most largely in the decora tions. Norton county will be represented by Mr. J. L. Miller. This county's booth will be different from all others as it will be decorated only with pictures ot farms. Norton is an alfalfa county where three and four crops of this pro duct are cut each year, the fourth or fifth being allowed to seed. Other counties taking part in this, will be exhibited in a way to show th ir best features. They are Kiowa, Smith, Sheridan, Decatur, Rooks, Finney, Kear ney, Cloud, Gray, Meade, Pratt, Lane, Ness, Logan, Trego, Sherman, Osborne, Reno and Sedgwick. The crops of these counties are very similar and taken al together, those of one county are very much like the others. The principal crops are wheat, oats, alfalfa, Kaffir corn and barley, while there are thou sands of dollars' worth of minor prod ucts. Finney and Kearney deserve spec ial mention as being beet sugar coun ties where they hope in the near future to have sugar factories and refineries established. There will be apples from Governor Bailey's farm, showing the fruit pro ductiveness of the First district. The train bearing these products to Chicago will leave Topeka over the Rock Island road about November 10. What Shall We Have for Dessert? This question arises in the family every day.

TELLS OF THE PROFITS Some Interesting: Figures on the' Money Yaiue. Catalpa Trees Principal Feafure of This Forest. The Chicago Inter Ocean Says of a Reno county tree faj-m: "Forty years ago the great sweep of prairie of Kansas was only broken by a ridge of foliage which bordered the banks of some of the streams, cotton wood and willows principally, with a larger belt of better timber in the east ern portion in the bottoms of the Kan sas, Marias de Cygnes: and Missouri rivers. "As these streams have all cut deep into the prairies, no trees were visi ble from the grass-covered rolling hills until suddenly coming upon the margin of a stream the winding skirt of woodland came in view'.; Today there are hedges, orchards and grov-3 of timber seen from every portion of the state. The pioneers of Kansas realizing the necess.ty for shade, shel ter, fuel, and adornment, planted mill ions of trees. Unfortunately many of these groves were of a cnaracter not always the best nor most useful, yet they are trees and have served their purpose as Euch. "A dozen years ago, Mr. L. Yaggy, of Lake Forest, 111., purchased 1,600 acres of land in the valley of the Ar kansas river, near Hutchinson, and upon this he planted 800 acres with apple orchards and on 500 acres he planted catalpa trees. The catalpas were not all planted at one time, but, beginning with eighty acres as an ex periment, and seeing the success of this, he continued planting with in creased confidence until 500 acres were covered. "The trees were set in rows six feet apart with four feet space between the rows. Cultivation continued for about three years, when the shade became dense enough to prevent the growth of grass and weeds. A few trees were cut out from time to time, when fence posts were needed, and later, as funds were required fc-r current expenses, others were sold, but no systematic thinning was begun until five years ago, when the earliest planting demanded more space, alternately ten rows were re moved and three rows were left to check the force of the wind. "The trees which were cut have again attained considerable size from sprouts which have grown from the stumps. On portions this experiment has been re peated. One block so cut over last winter now has shoots twelve feet high and iv iirri' p-th, 1,800 TREES SET ON EACH ACRE. "Eighteen hundred trees were set on each acre, or almost a million In all. "On another and larger tract alternate rows have been, cut out, and made into fence posts, for which there is great de mand. There are several ricks of posts now ready for shipment which contain forty car loads. 2,500 to 3,000 being load ed on a car. Fifteen car loids have been sent away this season. This represents a total of 137,000 posts cut during the past winter, while during the three or four vears Rince they began cutting, three times as many have been removed and sold. The price obtained has varied greatly. Some were so small as to bring but 31. cents each, while others sold for 12 cents. Yet a large number were of eight foot lengths and com manded 25 cents each. The average PH" has been It .cent. Of the 500 acres planted from ten to eleven years ago, the land cost $0 per acre, or $20,000, while the sum received at wholesale for the first thinning ha been considerably more than $30,000, or 50 per cent more than the cost of the land while the plantation still remains with 1.000 healthy trees upon each of the 500 acres. As the trees are vet entirely too close. extensive thinning must be mile, and there may be taken out 360,000 trees with great advantage to the remainder for which jso.uuo more win oe realized. The 1.500 acre farm, with Its 800 acres of apples, has required a large expendi ture in its maintenance, and, when it has been necessary, large bills for labor, machinery, buildings, etc. The catalpa plantation bas been the gold mine which supplied much, if not most, of the funds. Erights Disease Not Rare, but Common Kidney Disease Developes into Bright' rk- ou inn, M,tnti Disease the 8th to lOtn Month; Then Incurable by All Known Means Except the new Fulton Compounds, which Record 87 of Recoveries We have before us a little work on kidney diseases by Joseph F. Edwards, M. D., of Phila delphia, that contains some things tbt every one ought to know. Many people imagine Bright's Disease is rare, when, in fact it covers nearly the whole gamut of kidney dis eases. This book sets out that the kidneys have but one function, viz., the elimination of the area and waste products, and that all interferences with that function are called Bright's Disease. Dr. Edwards adds: "For the benefit of physi cians who may read this book I will give a list of the cases which I attribute to Bright's Disease, viz.: Albumenuria. Congestion of the Kidney. Degeneration of the Kidney. Faay Degeneration of the Kidney, Inflammation of the Kidney. Uraemia. Disease of the IC.clney." Thus nearly all kidney disease being Bright' disease, the serious question is, is it in the primary or secondary sieger Alter tne eigmu li tenth month it becomes chronic and is then ncurable by all known mi'ans except the Fulton Compounds. There is often no notice of the rouble till it has fastened. If you have kidney Hsease in the first stage the Renal Compound ill cure it quickly. If it is of more than 8 to 10 iiontha standing it is the only thing known that jfill cure it. In proof that nothing else will we ite all medical woiks in evidence. The stock holders of the John J.

As money was needed the sale of posts has provided the cash. The owner real ized that it was a happy thought whicn Induced him to plant bo many catalpa trees, and only wishes the entire farm was In forest. The estimated value of this catalpa plantation today ts $200 per acre, or $100,000, although it has, a prospective value of as much more, for the steady and permanent increase .from the sales of posts and similar, timbers is much greater than couid be realized by any other crop which can be grown. Now this, except in relation to the catalpa has nothing to do, of course, with street tree planting. The catalpa is not the best possible tree adapted thereto. We have given our ideas as to trees adapted to street planting, follow ing with the catalpa as one of the most valuable of hardy trees to be planted for profit. There are others that nave the quality of hardiness and decay re sisting qualities. Three of them may be stated as larch, locust and osage orange, but the king for profit is catalpa, espe cially in the west as is the eucalyptus in California. GALENA MINES MAY CLOSE.

On the contrary. Jeffries holds the latter in contempt, and adds that under no circumstances will he give Munroe another opportunity to fight him. "This fellow Munroe is not a fighter," said Jeffries. "A couple of montns ago the matenmaker oi tne Century Atn letic club of Los Angeles, my home, came to me regaining a bout wi.h Munroe.

Allowed Simpson to Defeat Her by a 12 to O Score. Columbia, Mo., Oct. 24. Simpson de feated Missouri Friday, 12 to 0. The game was much closer than the score indicates, as Missouri gained 241 yards i during the game and Simpson 270. Time was called in the first half when Mis souri had the ball on the first down on Simpson's ten-yard line. At the kickoff in the second half Mis souri fumbled, giving Simpson the ball on Missouri's twenty yard line and Simpson carried the ball over. The other touchdown was made on a de layed pass, Coe mak ng a run of sixty five yards, being tackled from behind on the three yard line by Izzy Anderson. From this point Simpson carried the ball over for a second touchdown. Mis souri's weakness was in her line. The backs played all right, but they received little help from the linesmen The first half was evenly contested, neither team scoring, though it Is thought that with a minute more to play, Missouri could have carried the ball over, as she was playing together in great shape at the time. Missouri's work was erratic At times the team played snappy and hard, but at other times it played listlessly. Hign tackling is still a feature of the Tigers' playing.

My kidneys, liver and stomach became affected and I was about as miserable as a man can be. "One day I saw Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People mentioned in the paper and concluded to see what they would do f'.r me. The first box helped me and seven boxes cured me entirely, making me strong and energetic again and ia as good health as before my sickness.

This well known gentleman does not hesitate to recommend Peruna to his countless friends and acquaintances all over the L nited States. In a recent let ter from 141U X street. X. Wash ington, D.

W. B. PoweiL Such straightforward evidence cannot be overlooked. What the common peo ple say carries weight, but when a man of national prominence says, "Peruna shoul be used in every household," it ia a significant fact to the increasing prominence and undoubted efScaey of Peruna. A Welt Known College Mao Restored by Pe-ru-aa. Mr. John W. Meng. 54 Jefferson Ave, Indianapolis, Ind., State Representative of Indianapolis Business College, writes: "I flrmly believe that I owe my fine health to Peruna. Constant travel and change of food and water wrought hav oc with my stomach and for months I suffered with indigestion and catarrh of the stomach. I felt that the only thing to do was to give up my occupa tion which I felt very reluctant to do. Seeing an advertisement of Peruna as a specific for catarrh I decided to give it a trial, and U3ed it faithfully for six weeks, when I faund that my troubles had all disappeared and I seemed like a new man. I have a bottle of Peruna in my grip all the time, and occasional ly take a few doses which keeps me in excellent health." John W. Mene. Miss Elizabeth Brown. 1708 John St., Baltimore, M. D., is a school teacher" of that place. She found Peruna of benefit to her aa a tonic, and in a recent letter says: "Two years ago when my school closed I was so fagged out that I could not sleep nights. Sleepleasness was a most serious trouble to me, and I felt I ought to go away and have complete rest, which I could illy afford. "One of the teachers told me that she had used Peruna for two years and had found it a wonderful tonic to build up the system, and so. I bought some. A complete change for the better took place within ten days. I could eat and sleep And feit like a new woman. When school opened again I felt well and strong and well able to take up my wort." Elizabeth Brown. Peruna is of national fame aa a ca tarrh remedy. It is the only internal systemic catarrh remedy known to the medical profession. It makes diseased mucous membranes healthy, whether it is the mucous membrane lining the nose, throat, lungs, stomach, kidneys or pelvic organs. It cures various diseases of all these organs, because two-thirds of the ills of mankind aTe due to ca tarrh. With healthy mucous mem branes climatic diseases lose their ter ror .the system is enabled to throw off contagion, and health follows inevit ably.

SCHOOL LAND PROBLEM. BRISTOW'S REPORT. Call of Committee Will Issue Soon After Election. It Is Handed to President by Postmaster General Pajne. wrmm mmm fti OF It wasn't so many years ago that The One Woman was the belle of the little country village In the eastern part of Ehawnee county. If there was a dance It was she who received offers from balf a dozen escorts and it was she who danced every dance unless she refused to be led out on the floor. It was she who laughed the loudest at the quilting fcees and it was she who was the last to be spelled down on her side in the pelling match. Everybody for mile nd miles around knew hei. But between the dances and the spell ing matches she was taught to always be cheerful and to do whatever she at tempted the best she knew how and to light nothing; a lesson that for the learning or the slighting many another's success or failure in higher walks of Jife has been determined. She learned the lesson and she learned it well. Nobody would have thought at that time that she would ever do anything remarkable. She hasn't, if to accom plish remarkable things one must be talked of and written about. But her parents were well to do and of course everyone supposed that some day she would marry some rich farmer and that ehe would drive to town behind a pair cf fine horses. She always did things Just a little better than others of the young folks; cooked the best, danced the best, sewed the best, spelled the best, and laughed the loudest. Now she is doing something better than, anyone else; making doughnuts that are unequaled. and she is selling them from door to door. This happened and that happened, find then The One Woman and her husband, who was not as strong as he might be, had to seek a means of liveli hood different from what they had fol lowed. Many another couple has been placed in the same situation, and many another couple has failed. But with euch a woman as she as one of the couple failure was impossible. She saw just as bright a side of life os when she was free from care and danced and spelled and quilted. Life Is still as bright to her and she carries a cheerful word with her from door to Jaor. She decided to make and sell dough nuts. Kveryone In town who has eaten any of them knows just who she is, how pleasant she ia and how good those doughnuts are. There are other people who try for a living in a similar way with eatables only passably fair and with questionable success. Lawyers, bankers, prrtlticlans and chil dren inquire several times a week if she has been around yet with her baskets of doughnuts and if she. -.hasn't there are feelings of concern about her. There Isn't another woman in Topeka who is so orely missed by so many persons as she Is if sickness or anything else keeps her from making her rounds twice a week. She never read a paper before a clui. never gave, an afternoon tea and never received informally, but there's a mighty big lot of people who speak of her a dozen tlires a week over those doughnuts and coffee. The One Woman, for she is one woman J it a million, does not complain about her Jot in life. She says that when she and her husband meet at the church steps at tioon. while going from house to house celling their wares, to eat their lunch that they have the best meal and best time dnrinsr the noon hour of any people 1n Topeka. She has no aches nor pains, aio complaints nor resentments. She is fining just as important a sphere in life es the person who makes the best oil paintings or the best embroidery work. There are scores of people who say she fills a more important position for The ne Woman makes doughnuts just like mother used to make. WANT BETTER SERVICE. Traveling Men Appeal to the llock Island. A committee of fifteen men represent ing the United Commercial Travelers of Kansas are in the city today for the purpose of holding a conference with the local officials of the Rock Island re gardinsr the train service on that road west of Belleville, Kas. It seems that the train service in that vicinity is in a worse condition at nres ent than It has ever been before, and it is stated by the traveling men that it never was anything for the road to be proud of. Consequently there Is a great roar going up among the traveling men who have that territory under their supervision, and they have decided to take some action in regard to the mat te. A committee was appointed and in structed to come to Topeka and see if the Rock Island officials could not be prevailed upon to improve the train ser vice in the vicinity of Belleville. This committee held a short conference at Parkhurt and Davis' store at 1:30 this afternoon and then repaired to the di vision offices of the Rock Island where they had arranged to meet Mr. J. M. Cruber, the general superintendent and Mr. A. B. Cooper, the division passen ger agent. The committee representing the Commercial Travelers, consists of: W. S. I'arkhurst, Topeka: K. J. Norris Topeka: B. L. Reese. Topeka: B. H. John ston. Topeka; K. W. Poindexter, Topeka: T. J. Xoone. Kansas Cltv; J. R. Van, Cleave, Kansas City: F. W. A. Vesper, Jkansas City; C. M. Michael.

Weber has been elected presi ene of the Sunlight Oil company, which has leased a quarter section of land near Chanute. Mr. Weber is coun cilman from the Fourth ward. The Sun light Oil company is composed of Tope ka and Chanute men. Among the To peka stockholders are Mr. Weber Mr (Watson, T. E. Armstrong, J. H. Skin ner and others. Monday Mr. Weber will go to Chanute in order to attend a meet ing of the executive committee of the company, where it will be decided whether the company will buy a dril ling rig or contract with some driller to put down a well. There are produc ing oil wells within a mile of the Sun light company's land, and the promo ters feel confident that they will strike flenty of the much-sought mineral. Columbus, O.. Oct. 24. Perry S. Heath of Utah, secretary of the Repub lican national committee, stated today that soon after tlje election next month, a call will be Issued for the usual meet ing of the Republican national commit tee in Washington, on December or 10, for the purpose of selecting a time and place for the national nominating convention of 1904. The convention, he believes, will be held near the middle of next June. Only three cities have, up to this time, actively entered the race for the convention. They are PittSDurg. St. Louis and Detroit, although it is understood Chicago will become an act ive aspirant. BIG OIL COMPANY SUED Channte Man Want $20,333 from Metropolitan Co. Chanute, Kan.. Oct. 24. E. L.Gross vs. The Metropolitan Oil Gas company, and W. II. Parsons, trustee for the Metropolitan Oil Gas company, is the title of a big damage suit just brought in Wilson county, in which Mr. Gross, the well known oil operator of this city, is asking for the large sum of $20,333, which he claims represents his interest in the company. The suit was filed and the Wilson county sheriff has attach ment papers that are to be served against the well and leases of the conl pany. TO FHEEZE OUT (JRILEY. Ways and Means Committee Would Keep Him Away. It was announced todav that a meet ing of the ways and means committee of the city council will be held this evening. Though this announcement appears harmless enough, there Is said to be a sood deal of poison concealed in.it. it will be remembered that when the committee attempted to meet Thursday night, Councilmen Griley and Swendson "mixed up" over some parliamentary questions, and the meeting ended In a row. Tonight was selected for the meeting, so Griley thinks, because it is Saturday night, and the intention was to "freeze him out." Griley is a barber, and has to work Saturday night. It is likely, however, that Mr. Griley will sacrifice some of his Saturday night trade just to show Councilman Swend son that he can't be bulldozed. Each councilman accuses the other of being a builoaer. CANADA LOSES AGAIN. Case of the Fetrel Seizure Goes Against the Dominion. Toronto, Ont., Oct. 24.

The German navy de partment informs the Associated Press that the ship building plans for 1904, are identical with the program cabled ta the Associated Press, October 13, except that three small cruisers will be asked for and that no torpedo boats are re quired for the present.

The attorney general's office has been called upon to untangle a snarl in Ness county, where the title to school lands is involved. John Casey lived on school lands for several years without tiling the proper pa pers to secure a title to them. Then an other man came along and went through the usual form and bought the land. Casey brought suit before Judge Lobdell and the county attorney of Ness county appeared for him. Casey's attorney dug up an old law, supposed to obsolete, under which he claimed title to the land. The case will be appealed to the supreme court and as the county attorney in Ness coun ty can not defend, the attorney general will have to tight the case. COSLEN WON'T TALK.

When asked today whether there is any truth in the story, Mr. Conlen said: "There's nothing it it at present." Mr. Conlen and Mr. Jones stated that as a result of their conference the only important change in the time card which was agreed upon was that No. 3, west bound, which now arrives here at 1:05 p. m., will be brought in an hour and twenty minutes earlier, making it arrive here at 11:45 a. m. MAXWELL TO DO IT. Will Grade for the Thirteenth Street Pavement. If the contractors are willing to do the work, and if Mayor Bergundthal will sign the contract, the excavating necessary on Kansas avenue south of Thirteenth street, will be done by "J. H. Maxwell, the grading contractor. The streets and wlks committee at its meeting Friday, "Toted to recommend that the mayor sign this contract, and let Maxwell do the work. City Engineer McCabe States that while there is no legal obligation rest ing on the contractors to perform the work, yet each one of them has express ed his willingness to carry out the job at the rate which the work was award ed. John Ritchie will do the paving and J. H. Maxwell the grading. The grading is made necessary by the fact that the city railway laid its tracks to ordinance grade, which is about two feet below the existing grade. This leaves the street in dangerous condition. SANTA FE IS AWAKE. Will Repair the Fourth Street Cross ing at Once. J. F. McCabe, city engineer, has received a letter from the Santa Fe officials agree ing to go ahead and do all work of repairing- crossings aS rapidly an possible and asking that the city designate what work it wants done. It seems that the action of the city in refusing to grant the Santa Fe a fran chise to build its tracks aaross Fourth street has had ih desired effect. The council held up ttoe franchise ordinance until th Santa Fe should repair the cross ings which it has been promising to re pair for the past year or so. As soon as the crossings are repaired thej franchise will be passed. The city is holding up a franchise de sired by the Rock Island for the same rea son. It has some crossings to fix. CHURCHJiOTES.

Postmaster General Payne at 1:30 this afternoon de livered to President Roosevelt the ic port of Fourth Assistant Postmaster Bristow on the postal investigation. Postmaster General Payne remained with the president only a few minutes. As he left the executive offices he said in response to inquiries: "Yes, the Bristow report has at last been placed in the hands of the presi dent. Of course, we did not consider It at this meeting, but probably later In the day we shall take it up in part. Attorney General Knox will be present when we consider it." The resort is very long. It contained 11P, CO0 words about 80 columns in an ordinary newspaper. In addition to the report proper ther are 500 exhibits, ail of which are referred to in the report. The aver age length of the exhibits is five type written pages, or about 2,000 words. The exhibits contain therefore about a million words. Published in the form of the ordi nary government document, the exhibits alone would make 20 printed pages. No time has been fixed yet for the pub lication of the report, but it will be given to the public as soon as practicable. Pres ident Roosevelt will go over it very care fully and when he makes it public is like ly to supplement It with some comment of his own. HOOK WILL MOVE UP.

"It is no wonder," said a Philadel phian who knows Servia, "that King Peter finds it hard to discover a model for his crown. Since 1374 no ruler of Servia has worn one, from 1374 to 1832 no Servian bore the title of king. There is a tradition that a Servian ruler named Michael received the crown and title from the pope so far back as 1078, but the personage, who is styled 'the first crowned' in Servian history, was Ste phen Nemausha II, who was crowned by a papal legatee in 1217, and, in order to pacify his orthodox subjects, recrown ed by his brother, St. Sava, archbishop of Servia, in 1222. On that occasion the crown was provided by the Byzantine emperor. From that time the Servian sovereign bore the title of king, or 'kral,' till, in 1346, Stephen Dushan was crowned at Uskub as 'Emperor of Mace donia and monarch of the Serbs, Greeks and Bulgarians.' His son was also styled emperor, but the usurper Vukr shin, who murdered the latter, took the name of king. Since his death no Serb has been crowned. The King of Rou mania had hi3 crown made from the cannon of Plevna, but Slivnitza would scarcely be commemorated in that Way at Belgrade." Philadelphia Press.

Cate, the proprietor of a sanitarium here, has recovered his memory. It all came back to him while he was reading a medical book In a sanitarium In Goshen, N. Y., where he had been sent several weeks ao. Dropping the book he start ed up and exclaimed, "I have been a physician and had a sanitarium at Lakewood." Dr. Gate then described what had oc curred from the time he loft Lakewood on a visit to New York, where he regis tered at the Hotel Albert. The day aft er his arrival he went out for a walk and did not return. His empty pocket book was found early the next mcm rting; under a pile of lumber. It was said the pocket book had contained $2,000. There was nothing but the phy sician's cards and the return ticket to Lakewood in the poeketbook.

A large portion cf Oeorge W. Vanderbilt's vast estate In the wilds of North Carolina, known as Biltmore, is about to be converted into an exclusive hunting and fishing club, which will Include in its membership some of the most prominent clubmen of the land. A proposition has recently been sub mitted to Edgar B. Moore of Kenil worth Inn, N. C, whereby if present plans are carried out, 130.000 acres of the Biltmore estate will be used as a hunting and fishing ground by the Bilt more club, now being organized. The plan does not include the 10.000 acres immediately surrounding the private mansion of Mr. Vanderbilt. The waters of Biltmore are well sup plied with fish. In the forest many juall may be found, and wild turkeys, pheasants, deer and even black bear ream. A feature of the new club now being TORE'S A Hyomei Cures Catarrh Without Dangerous Drugging of. the Stomach. Not until Hyomei was discovered has it been possible to truthfully say that a remedy for catarrh was known. This remedy is breathed through the Hyomei inhaler for a few minutes four times a day, and during that time every carticle of air taken into the air pas sages and lungs Is impregnated with the germ killing and heal giving "Hyomei. It is the only treafVnent that cures catarrh. Stomach drugging often causes dis ordevd digestion or brings on some otf-r diseases and never makes a per manent cure of catarrh. Hyomei not only kills the germs in the throat and nose, but penetrates to the minutest air cells in the lungs and enters the blood with the oxygen, killing the germs in the blool It frees the mucous mem brane from poisonous microbes and gives perfect health. A complete outfit costs but J1.00, and includes an inhaler, dropper and suffi cient Hyomej for several weeks' treat ment, s Geo. W. Stansfleld, druggist. S37 Kan sas avenue, has so much faith in the merit of Hyomei that he agrees to re turn the mon?y to any purchaser who may be dissatisfied. SIMPLY BREATE IT. A Few Minntea Use of Hyomei Four Times, a Day Cures Catarrh. The pleasantest, most convenient and the only scientific method for the treat ment an3 cure of catarrh is Hyomei. Simply put twenty drops of Hyomei in the inhaler that comes with every pack age and then breathe it for a few min utes four times a day. It seems remarkable that so simple a way of treating catarrh will effect a cure, but the most important discover ies of science have always been the simplest. By breathing Hyomei in this way every particle of air that enters the air passages of the throat and head and foes into the lungs is charged with a eallnjj balsam that kills the germs and X "eJ"l .1 formed by Mr. Moore will be a number of lodges and camps which will be pro vided for the use of members through out the various sections of the forest.

CRAZED BT FLOOD. Citizens of Fatersoa Placed in Insane Asylum. New York. Oct. 24. Frank Grund mann. 58 years of age, a silk weaver of Paterson, N. J., has been placed in the insane ward at Sellevue hospital. Grundmann had a beautiful garden of rare foreign plants and a valuable col lection of birds. Including several Jap anese pheasants. When the- flood swept throueh the heart of Paterson recently. Grundmann's home was wrecked and his plants and birds destroyed. He had much difficulty in rescuing his wife. After getting her to safety he made efforts to save his plants and birds, without success. The ordeal he went through and the loss of the birds and plants he prized so highly preved upon his mind until he gave way under the strain. SHOT IN TI1EIK HOUSE.

Pa., have both been shot as they sat at the window of their home, and both are expected to die. The neigh borhood is being scoured for the assas sin, but no clue to his identity or the motive for the shooting has been obtained- All that is known is that while the farmer and his wife were sitting near a window after they had had their supper, two shots were fired from a gun loaded with buckshot. Mr. Bevans was struck in the head and arms by the charge. Mrs. Bevans received almost the entire charge fired at her. The assassin must have lost no time in making his escape, for it waa only a short time before searching parties were organized and hunting the country for j miles around. I Sewing Machines.

The first day's use of Hyomei will show a decided improvement and in a short time there will be no further trouble from catarrh. Its action is rapid and lasting. You take no risk in buying Hyomei. A complete outfit costs S1.00. and if after using you can say that it has not helped you Geo. W. Stansfleld, druggist, 632 Kansas avenue, will return your money. What other treatment for catarrh is sold under a guarantee like this? TO ALL CATARRH SUFFERERS Hyomei Guaranteed to Cure by Geo. W. JtansfielJ or Money Refunded. The popularity and increase in the sales of Hyomei are unique in the an nals of medicine. Such astonishing cures have been made by this remarkable remedy that the proprietors have auth orized Geo. W. Stansfleld to sell every package of Hyomei under an absolute guarantee that it will cure catarrh. If is does not, the purchaser can have his money refunded by Go. W. Stansfleld. Hyomei is no ordinary remedy. It is the only method of treatment that senils by direct inhalation to the most remote part of the air passage, a balsamic air that destroys all catarrhal germs in the breathing organs, enriches and purifies the blood with additional ozone and makes permanent and complete cure of catarrh. The complete Hyomei outfit costs but 11.00 and consists of an inhaler that can be carried in the wet a dropper and a bottle of Hyomei Th inhaler lasts a lifetime, and if one boctle does not cure, an extra bottle of Hyomei can be obtained for 0 cents. It is the most economical of all remedies adver tised for the cure of catarrh, and is the only one that follows nature in her method of treating diseases of the re spiratory organs. Breathe throueh the inhaler for a few mmntes four times a day and your catarrh is cured. That's ail If not cured Geo. W. Stansfleld, drug gist, 632 Kansas avenue, will refund your monej. OW CURE TASK IS A BIG 05E. New Car Barns Will Be 105 bj 300 Feet. Entrance to Shops to Be on Twelfth Street. While the Topeka railway is hasten ing to complete its track rebuilding be fore the settins in of wintry weather, work has also been commenced uoon the erection of the new buildings at the corner of Twelfth and Jackson streets, where the comaany has its manager's office, its car barns and its repair shops. When the designs now before the builders have been carried out. the Topeka railway company will be able to turn out new cars complete, will have facilities for keening ail its roll ing stock in excellent reuair, and will be prepared to meet any of the emerg encies which threaten good railway service. When completed the railway shop I2m Street. .1 y 3 J j 9SJF. "0 Map Showing Arrangement of City Kail way Shops, will have a very attractive appearance. Concrete blocks with rough exterior finish are to be used in the construc tion of all the new buildings. These blocks are being made on the ground at the company plant, and great care is taken to make them both durable and han&some. A long, one story car barn is to be erected on the west side of the property, lengthwise of Jackson street nearest the street. It will be 300 feet long and 105 feet wide and will communicate with the tracks of the outside system from the south end. In front of it, at the corner of Twelfth and Jackson streets, is to be the new office building and club rooms for the street railway em ployes. This office building is to be 60 by 40 feet in foundation dimensions. The manager's quarters will be on the first floor, while library, reading and lounging and bath rooms will occupy the second. This is for the benefit of the employes of the company. At the southeast corner of the Droo erty of the railway company is now located the machine shop, built of stone and equipped with improved ma chinerv. which will be the only one of the old buildings to be retained. This shop is 50 by ltM feet. Among the ap paratus now there is the large rail planer made for handling very heavy work in iron and steel, and which cost S3.500. There Is also a rail bender, with which in five minutes the largest rails can be bent to any shape desired for use on the tracks. A considerable out lay has already been made for the equipment of this shop by the new offi cials of the company, and a large force is already emDloyed. A gang' of men is now engaged in preparing building material and in lay ing the concrete foundations for the paint shop and the carpenter shop, each one of which are to be 35 by 75 feet in dimensions. They will occupy the northeast corner of the ground. From Jackson street the two shops will be behind the car barns and carallel with it. As will be seen in the accomnanying illustration, the design of the new shop grounds makes the entrance on the south side, at Twelfth street, instead i of at Huntoon and Jackson streets, as at present. A loon track will run from Jackson street around the south end of the shop yards on Twelfth street to Kansas avenue. Cars will enter and leave the yards at this place. This undertaking will keep a consid erable number of laborers busy throughout the winter. PLAtJE FOR 8MOKEBS. In New Cars They Must Keep to Their Apartment. The five new cars which are expected for use by the Topeka Railway company within a few weeks will be arranged on a different plan from any now in operation in Topeka. The principal dif ference will be that the vestibules will be longer, the compartment to be occu pied by smokers will be larger and the entrances to the cars will be situated at one corner cf the car instead of squarely in the middle of the ends. A clear passage will be kept for persons entering or leaving the cars. Immedi ately in front of the doorway a railing will divide the vestibule. Between the railing and the door no one but the conductor will be allowed to stand.

They arrested Ann O'Della Diss de Barr and her husband, who lived there, and seized the paintings. They were placed in cellars at police headquarters and kept there until a year ago. The trial of the Diss De Bars is a cel ebrated case of New York courts. The woman was convicted of fraud. The value of the paintings was not verified by experts. The paintings remained un known. Mr. Marsh said that he had seen them come to the canvas at Miss DeBar's invocation of Van Dyck, Guido Reni and others. Ann O'Delia Diss De Barr is in prison in .England for fraud. The Diss De Bar that was known as her husband here has vanished. The paintings are to be shown at the Fifth avenue are gallery on Monday and are to be sold there by auction later.

Fifty passengers were bruised by the jolt and thrown into a panic by the blaze and all rushed to the tracks, regardless of the deadly third rail, and escaped. The. two cars, both motors, were crowded. They started on signal forg ing ahead with more speed than is con sidered safe and immediately left the track on a curve within ten feet of the platform and crushed Into a bumper outside the curve.

The imprisoned passengers shrieked In horror and madly rushed to the rear door which was closed. In a twinkling the door was shattered and men and women poured out upon the platform and swarmed down upon the roadbed, oblivious of the fact nat death lay in the sputtering third rail. Luckily none of the frightened passengers touched it and all escaped to the station platform. Meanwhile the flames communicated by the third rail grew and the fire engines were called out and eventually extin guished the flames. City Ticket office, Union Parffl Railroad. 525 Kansas avenue.

Kas., Oct. 24. Ottawa is se riously discussing the question of mu nicipal ownership of water and light, as a result of a request from the company which now has the contract for a re newal of the franchise. The Dresent franchise was issued eighteen years ago. and runs for three years longer. The company has asked tor a new con tract for twenty years, to justify it in making improvements m the plant. The Business Men's association, which has lately been organized, has appointed a committee to investigate the water and light question fully, and to make a recommendation to the council express ing the sense of the business interests on the matter of a new franchise. The present Democratic administra tion was elected on a municipal owner ship platform, and Mayor Hailoren an nounces that no action will be taken on the franchise proposition until expres sion is had on municipal ownership. Water for the town is taken from the Marais des Cygnes river a mile west of town, and the service has been unsat isfactory. The business men's commit tee has been investigating the possibil ity of securing water from some large springs. The ilaee was a stopping point on one branch of the old Santa Fe trail. Excavations will be ma.de to see what volume of water lies at the back of the springs, and if the results are satisfactory, and the municipal ownership sentiment predominates, the city may erect a ,new water plant on the spot. The company having tne present franchise is financed by an Eng lish syndicate. HE SUES ROCKEFELLER. P. X. Bonebrake Wants $4,000 Bor rowed Money Returned. In the federal court at Kansas City P. I.

Where Interest Is Kept Up, State Will Wait. State Treasurer T. T. Kelly has turned over to Attorney Qeneral Cole man the list of counties which are de linquent in the payment of bonds and coupons to the state school fund. The delinquent bonds and coupons extend back, in some instances, ten years, and the total due the state school fund in unpaid bonds and courxms is over a quarter of a million dollars. The new law requires that when the state treasurer is out of money with which to pay warrants he shall draw funds from the state school fund and pay the fund 4 cer cent, for the use of the money. There is no money in the school fund for the treasurer to use for the purpose, and he has called upon the attorney general to collect the moneys dual There is due the annual school fund $61,127.96. The unpaid bonds and coupons due the permanent school fund amount to I1S2.152.S0. The amount due the Normal school fund is $4,354.98. The total due the Agricultural college fund is $7,930.86. The amount due the State university fund is $3,427. The total due the state school fund is $257,521.67. There are ten counties in Oklahoma that owe the Agricultural college fund a total of $2,SS3.05. In cases where the counties keep up the interest after the bonds are due it is likely that no effort will be made to collect the bonds or to refund them, as if they are refunded the rate of in terest will be lowered.

Sargent of the bureau of immigration shows a large increase of steerage im migration over, that of the preceding year, the aggregate for the fiscal year of 1903 being 857,046. an excess over that of last year of 208,303. or 32 per cent. The statistics show an increase of immigra tion from all foreign sources, and "sug gest as chief cause of the influx of aliens into the United States during the year the inducement offered to settlers hepe rather than any special causes of dis content in their own countries Of the total steerage immigration there came from Europe 814,507, from Asia 29.966 -and from all other sources 12,754; if all to these figures are added those representing the total arrivals of alien cabin passengers, 64,269, the re sult will show that the total immigra tion of aliens to the United States dur ing the year aggregated 921,315, or 105, 04S more than the greatest number here tofore reported for any one year. The greatest number of immigrants, ,30,622, came from Italy, an increase of 52,24 over last year; Austria-Hungary fur nished 206,011, an increase of 34,022; Russia 136,093. an increase of 28,746; Germany 40,086, an increase of 11,782; Sweden 46,028, an increase of 15,134; Ire land 35,310. an increase of 6.172. and England 26,219. an increase of 12,64-i. Of the Oriental countries. Japan was foremost, with 19,968, an increase of 5,698, while China contributed 2,209, au increase of 560 over last year. Ot the total number of steerage aliens 613,146 were males and 243,900 were fe males, of whom 102,431 were less than 14 years of age. There were of these 3,341 who could read, but could not write, 18,667 who could neither read nor write, leaving remainder able to both read and write of 668.038. The total amount of money brought by them into the United States was $16,117,513. Ex clusive of those denied admission at the land boundaries of the United States 8.769 alien immigrants were rejected for various causes, the number of rejections being nearly double those of the pre ceding year. Of these, 5,812 were pau pers. 1,773 were afflicted with disease and 1,086 were contract laborers. Con cerning these figures. Commissioner Sar gent says: As regards the rejection ot diseased aliens, I must reiterate the statement made in the last annual report, that It exhibits upon the part of some of the transportation lines such a wanton disregard of the laws of the country as fully vindicates the wisdom of con gress in authorizing by the act, ap proved March 1903, the imposition or a penalty for bringing diseased aliens to the country in those cases in wnicn tne exercise of disease was perceptible at the time of foreign embarkation." Commissioner Sargent strongly rec ommends that an examination by com petent medical officials be made of im migrants on Denair or tnis government at foreign ports. He believes that skil led physicians representing tnis gov ernment should be detailed for this ser vice. The commissioner refers to the grave danger to the country found in" the colonizing of alien communities in our great cities. "Such colonies," he said, "are a menace to the physical, so cial, moral and political security of the country. 'Removed from the sweat shops and slums of the great cities and given the opportunity to acquire a home, every alien, however radical his theories of government and individual rights may have been, will become a conservative. a supporter in theory and practice of those institutions under whose benign protection he has acauired and can de fend his household goods. Suitable leg islation is therefore strongly urged to establish agencies by means of which either with or without co-oceration of states, aliens shall be made acquainted with the resources of the country at large, the industrial needs of the va rious sections, in Dotn sKiued and un skilled labor, the cost of living, the wages paid, the- prices and capabilities of lands in short, all of that informa tion furnished by some of the great railwavs. Commissioner Sargent, in view of the arrival of approximately one million emigrants annually, urges that legisla tion be enacted to improve the duality, morally and intellectually, of those ad mitted. The report Indicates a marked Im provement in the enforcement of the complex and strongly resisted Chinese exclusion laws. Experience has proved a good teacher in these laws, and their enforcement is accompanied with a minimum of friction. The commis sioner expressed confidence that the efforts of the bureau to enforce these laws will prove much more successful than they have proved at any time heretofore. Swift Organizes Cattle Company. Santa Barbara, Cal., Oct. 24. A close corporation known as the Santa Bar bara Cattle company, with a capital of 51UU.0W. nas Deen tormed here. Three hundred and fifty thousand acres of grazing land in Mexico, adjoining the territory of Arizona, have been leased and will at once be extensively stocked. The corporation which has been forme i under the laws of Arizona is composed of L. F. Swift of Chicago, the million aire packer, and Cameron Rogers. A. H. McKay and C. V. Ealand and Chaa. Fernald, all of Santa Barbara. Mr. Fernald is a son-in-law of Mr. Swift. TJ. S. Minister la Fined, Rome, Oct. 24. Richard Pearson, formerly United States consul at Genoa and now minister to Persia, has been fined $6ft and $15 costs for insulting an Italian railway official last December, previous to his appointment as minis ter. The government was desirous of settling the Incident by pardoning Mr. Pearson, but the latter refused to ask for the king's clemency, as prescribed by law. Chamberlain's dough Remedy. No one who is acquainted with its good qualities can be surprised at the great popularity of Chamberlain's Cough Rem edy. It not only cures colds and grip ef fectually and permanently, but prevents these diseases from resulting in pneumo nia. It is also a certain cure for croup Whooping cough is not dangerous when this remedy is given. It contains no opi um or other harmful substance and mar be given as confidently to a baby as to an adult. It is also pleasant to take.When ail of these facts are taken into consid eration it is not surprising that people in foreign lands, as well as at home, esteem this remedy very highly and very few are willing to take any other after having once used it.

Nothing was accomplished at the meeting of the streets and walks com mittee Friday afternoon relative to the proposed Interurban Railway franchise. Some of the points of difference were discussed and the promoters of the com pany stated their case to the council men. The further consideration of the ordinance was postponed until next Friday afternoon. "There are some of the councllmen," said Judge Dolman yesterday, "who are not disposed to be friendly to us. They are going to oppose the passage of this franchise which we ask for. 1 can tell by the way they are getting at it that they expect to throw such obstacles in our way that we can't get over them. Why are they doing it, I wonder? I guess it isn't very hard to figure out. They are willing to give the city rail way anything it wants. "Now we have offered in our fran chise to give a $2,000 bond to protect the city from damage suits during the progress of the work. Give a bond to insure the completion of the road we will not. It is not right to ask It of us. If we were strangers trying to hold up somebody it would be different, but do you think that Thomas Page and A.' M. Baird and other prominent North To peka men who are backing this are the kind of men to try to injure the city? It will cost us several thousand dollars just to get our surveys. Then we will have to try to rais our money to build the line. We don't propose to lay our selves liable for a guarantee bond in ad dition to the other money which we will risk. "Now thev say that the city railway has up a bond for $20,000 guaranteeing that that company will spend $400,000 in rebuilding its line. That bond isn't worth the paper it is written on. The section of the franchise requiring it is meaningless, and the city railway knew it when it consented to put up the S20.000. "We want to build this line because Ave believe that Toaeka wants it. We do not think it is necessarv to have so much detail in this ordinance as in the city railway ordinance, but we are will ing to put it in. The city railway want ed it in its ordinance because the peo ple who are putting up the money de manded that it should be there to in sure the construction of the road in good shape. But if the city council loads us down with conditions which it did not. impose on the city railwav, we will throw over the whole thing." The interurban franchise proposes to give a blanket franchise over all streets in North Topeka, but it is believed that the company will agree to have certain streets excepted, as is done in the city railway franchise. Some of the councilmen are very much opposed to having the franchise permit the company to haul in freight during the day. The company insists that haul ing freight is essential to their business, and that the franchise is worthless without that privilege. These points will be talked over and discussed fur ther next Friday. The committee also investigated sev eral minor matters and then made a trip to North Topeka to look at the con dition of the sidewalks which Council man Kutz wants the city to repair. No decision was reached in the matter. CORBETT GETS A TIP That Cannole 'Will Do to Bet on Against Britt. 1 San Francisco, Oct. 24. Willie Brltt, the manager of Jimmy Britt; James Neil, of the Colma club, and Martin Cannole, the Boston lightweight, met and talked over the fight which was sched uled to take place at Colma in the mid dle of next month. Manager Britt stat ed that he would have to give Seiger the first battle, but that he stood ready to sign to fight Cannele on the 20th int- Neil at first demurred, but eventually concluded to accept, Cannole was pleased with the prospects of fight and offered no objection to the postpone ment of the contest, for a week. Harry Corbett received a letter from a friend in Fall River, the town from which Cannole hails, yesterday. The writer said that he was well acquainted with Cannole and knew him to be the best man of his weight on earth. He advised Corbett to play the visitor, and impressed the fact home that when the easterner gets into action with Britt he will furnish a surprise to the Pacific coast champion. It has been definitely arranged that Britt and Seiger win meet before the San Francisco Athletic- club at Mechanics' pavilion on November 10. Britt is walking around on his injured ankle without the aid of a cane, but will not resume training for at least teii days. Newspaper Office Strike. Girard. Kan., Oct. 24. The employes of the Appeal to Reason, the Socialist paper, struck at noon riday and walk ed out because J. A. Wayland, the pro prietor, refused to accede- to some de mands made. W. F. Phelps, the busi ness manager, resigned his position and the employes may return to work today, although it is reported that some of the leaders in the strike will not be taken back. Mr. Wayland threatens to sus pend the publication of the paper. Labor Union Is Sued. Chicago, Oct. 24. Suit for $20,000 dam age against Franklin union No. 4 of Press Feeders was filed today in the Cook County superior court by Rand McNally and company. The claim is based on alleged loss laid to .present labor troubles. Franklin union is in corporated and the funds of the union, said to be $40,000, can be attached on judgment by the court. Cause of Lockjaw. Lockjaw, or tetanus, is caused by a bacillus or germ which exists plentifully in street dirt. It is inactive so long xs exposed to the air, but when carried be neath the skin, as in wounds caused by percussion caps or by rusty nails, and when the air is excluded, the germ is roused to activity and produces the most virulent poison known. These germs may be destroyed and all danger of lockjaw avoided by applying Chamberlain's Pain Balm freely as soon as the Iniury Is re ceived. Pain Balm is an antiseptic and causes cuts, bruises and like injuries to heal without maturation and in one-third tha time required by the usual treatment.

Among- the songs made popular by Miss Heath are: "Won t you coma out and play," and "listen to my tale of woe." Ail In all she has made many friends- and now that she has appeared In the broader scope of drama, she has firmly established her self as a favorite. Though a small act ress her new role of Jo Pembertan, a country boy from New England, fits her to a nicety. Marie Heath began her stage career In opera with Fay Templecon, in the days when Fay was sailing in the mid ocean of success and notoriety, and it was here her sweet and powerful voice received its first public recognition. J. M. Hill saw her value some years ago and starred her with financial and ar tistic success in "The Little General."

Jury in District Court Gives Him Chrisman Building. The negro. Fred Pernell, 'has been confirmed in his title to the Topeka Cash building, which was deeded to him by Mrs. Eliza Chrisman before her death. The suit brought on the part of Miss Cora Louise Thayer to set, aside the deed was lost in the district court Friday when the jury after being out more than a day brought in a verdict in favor of the defendant. The suit was brought in the name of Ott Embree, executors of the estate. One or two of the other relatives of the late Mrs. Chrisman were interested in the litigation. It was their conten tion that the negro, Pernell who lived in the Chrisman home all hia life ex erted an undue influence upon Mrs. Chrisman, whose mind, they said, was enfeebled by age. It was asserted that Pernell held some unusual power over Mrs. Chrisman. who was of a supersti tious nature. Pernell lived in the Chris man home and was allowed privileges far exceeding those of an ordinary ser vant. The value of the property in lit igation is about $25,000. COLE DOING GOOD WORK.

Fitz Will Fight Corbett. San Francisco, Oct. 2i. Bob Fitzsim mons has $2,500 to put up as a. forfeit for a match with Gardner. Fitzsimmons is wrought up over Gardner's comment on the Cornishman'a lack of appetite for a fight. Bob says he weighs only 176 and can easily make 158. Of Corbett he said: "Corbett fought like an old woman when he lost to Jeffries. He was outclassed, and, furthermore, he was scared to death. Corbett says he wants another chance to wipe that blot off his record. He can have it this month if he wants it. I'll agree to beat him before I meet Gardner." AT THE FLA I LAST NIGHT. In the Irving French company at the Grand Topeka has something different from the stock organizations that have appeared here. There is a vim and go to the performances not noticeable in the others. This was evident last nisrht when a fast farce, "An Irishman's Troubles." was on view. A constant string of specialties aided in keeping the action at fever heat. An "assassin of sorrow" is what Don MacMillan must be. for he kept the sides of those in the larsre audience shaking. As an eccentric or character comedian he has had no equal here in stock- Mrs. Irving French and the others pleased the crowd. New vaudeville will be offered to night, when "O'Moore's Courtship" will close the engagement. "In Convict Stripes," at the Crawford last night, might have beea worse. IN GRAND REVIEW. Fort Rilej Troops Make an Im pressive Parade. Ft. Riley, Kan., Oct. 24. A grand re view of all the troops in camp was held this morning on the flats south of the Republican river. The scene from the hills above the flats was beautiful. The masses of troops extended for fully two miles in extreme length and when the long ranks went sweeping along the march post with bands playing, colors flying and the sparkle of polished steel, the spectators broke out into enthusias tic cheers. In the afternoon the officers of the engineer battalion under Major Leach gave a practical demonstration in the construction of the entrenchments. There were no exercises in the after noon and in the evening Major C. B. Baker read a paper on "Army Trans portation." A COLLEGE COMBINE. All Methodist Institutions Learning to Re United. Of Chicago, Oct. 24. A plan whereby all, or nearly all, of the Methodist, educa tional institutions in the country may be united under one general supervising body of directors, with Northwestern university as the head and front, has been disclosed by President Edmund Jones James of Northwestern. As evidence that the smaller institu tions are ready fqr such a union, Presi dent James declares that already two colleges have asked to be taken under the protection and management of Northwestern university, while the uni versity has already annexed two pre paratory schools the Elgin academy and the Grand Prairie seminary of Onarga. "It is a clearly manifest fact," said President James last night, 'that if de nominational institutions are to do their best work they must work in unity. There must be harmony between the different institutions a harmony which will permit of one general nfanagement." President James then went into the details of the plan, concluding witn the statement that all of the affiliated in stitutions would be known as the "Northwestern." Hs estimate Is that there will be thirty such. CUBA'S FRUIT TRADE. Exporters Will T-y to Get the United States Markets. Since the establishment of the Cuban re public that country has grown to realize that there is a large potential trade with the United States in the fruit industry and merchants there are urging growers and exporters to extra efforts to control this valuable export trade. The conditions which obtain on the island are as favora ble as those of any other country which ships fruit to the "United States, while Cuba enjoys the superior advantage of being only three days from New York by water. Fruit consumption has developed to an extraordinary degree in this country dur ing the pasF thirty years. In 1870 ihe total value of these importations amounted to $7,000,000, while for the year ended June 30. 1SC2. they reached the figure of $21,500, C00. The value of the bananas imported into the United States, during the year 1902 was ST.SQCf.cno. drawn from the follow ing sources: British West Indies, $3.4i0.- 000: Costa Rica. SIjSOO.OOO; Honduras. $700.-.- 000: Colorrbia, 5550,0k. and Cuba. So30,00t). against $1,500,000 In 1892. This decrease was largely due to the internal troubles of the island durine the latter part of the decade, the culture of the fruit having largely diminished during that time. The value or the lemons tnat itaiv senas to this country in one year amounts to J3.000.000, and Cuba realizes that she can, by adopting the right course, obtain a much larg-or nortion or tne iruit trade than she has hitherto enjoyed. In the ex portation of oranges the other islands of the tropics are also ahead of her, the British West Indies having made a strik ing advance during the p-?t few years. It is this trade that the Cuban exporters are now roing after, and with so much in favor of the island there is good reason for the belief that she will easily outstrip her competitors. Washington Star. THE PEOl'LE ARE WILL1N. "While only four people have been sent to the other land through our efforts," says Mr. Brown, in advertising his drug store for sale, "we do not care to make a record in this direction. We could go on and safely deal out bi-carbonate of soda and be quite sure that it was not chloriat, of lime, and we are certain we know gum arabic from porous plasters, but we shall never feel quite sura of ourself as a drug gist. "Mr. Herrlngton, our able assistant. Is courteous and obliging, but as he is a sawmill man by trade, it keeps him on the ragged edge to take chances. Whoever purchases the business will not only get it at a mw figure, but he will locate among a people who are prepared to extend him a great deal of latitude in the matter of fatal mistakes. If he does not commit over five or six fatal blunders during his first year he will have the sympathy and good will of the public and a business which, in time, will make him a rich man. "Correspondence solicited and all in formation cheerfully given. No better opening anywhere for a young man who wants to.grow up with the country and f.irm a partnership with a hustling under taker." M. Quad. OUT AGAIN What Powerful Food Can Do, It is evidently a scientific and power ful food that can take confirmed in valids out of bed and make them well again. "After doctoring two years for ter rible stomach trouble I concluded tnat it was incurable," says a young woman of Fillmore, 111. "I was confined to my rooms all the time and expected to ce an invalid the rest of my life, having given up all hope of ever being well again ana yet I recovered entirely and quickly by eating a few spoonfuls of Grape-Nuts food every meal Jn place of the improper food that had ruined my stomach. "An aunt recommended this food to me so highly I finally decided that to be 'honest to myself I should give It a fair trial and the result has certainly been marveluous. At the time I Degau eating Grape-Nuts I weighed 105 pounds but now I weigh 159, a gain of 54 pounds, My strength and activity are wonderful and I have truly found the way to get well and keep well. "As a strength giver for both mind and body the action of the delicious food Grape-Nuts is so quick and certain that it seems like a miracle." Name given by Postum Co.. Battle Creek, Mien.

Hereafter Colorado sheriffs who come to Kansas with requisitions for prison ers will have to bear papers that are prepared with the minutest accuracy, j For some time Kansas sheriffs have been having trouble in getting prison- ers from Colorado. The Colorado au- horities refused to honor requisitions unless said requisitions were faultless. The merest technicality meant the re f usal of the governor to honor the re quisition. Kansas sheriffs- have been returning from Colorado without pris oners because a comma, a period or some other trivial affair in the requisi i (ion was amiss. j This morning Sheriff Frisby from I Lamar, Prowers county, Colorado, ar rived in Topeka with two requisitions. One for Carl Westcott under arrest in Topeka and Joe Wilson under arrest at Hutchinson. John Dawson, of the attorney gen eral's office, found that the Colorado law provided that the full name of the prisoner be spelled out. In fact when requisitions bearing the initials of the prisoner's name have been sent to Colo rado they have been refused. So when Dawson found that the name was writ ten "Joe Wilson" and not Joseph Wil son he made a note of it. The Colorado law also requires that the name of the prisoner wanted be written in Roman capitals. Joe Wilson tvas written in a variation of a Spen cerian hand with only the J. and the W. capitalized. Furthermore the requisi tion said that "The governor of James H. Peabody" instead of "The governor of Kansas." The Colorado authorities will have to prepare another and more perfect requisition before Wilson will be delivered. Weekly Bank Statement New York, Oct. 24.

Officers Again Hearing Com plaints from Citizens. Two Resorts Are Raided by the Blue Coats. The green eyed monster of jealousy has been abiding with Aunt Mary Cook, an ancient colored woman of North .To peka, and said monster landed her in police court last evening. Aunt Mary, who is 77 years of age but still vig orous, was arrested on the charge of disturbing the peace and quiet of farl Gray, another colored woman of fewer years. It seems from what Judge Ham ilton could sift from the case that Aunt Mary became saturated with 3 mm r4m fW The Green-eyed Monster Jealousy. jealousy because her "ole man," who is aged enough to know better, had been making goo-goo optics at the Gray wo man, who lives next door. "I tole dat wufless ole niggah ef he didn' stop dat I gwlnter bus his haid wid a ta d, said Aunt Mary in relating the circum stance. Then, according: to the testi mony of the prosecuting witness. -Vunt Marv turned on her and handed her "a few choice morsels of Congo English which would chill the wax trrapeg on a spring hat, thereby disturbing- the peace of the younger woman. All along the line while the witnesses were tes tifying Aunt Mary would ante a blue chip and take a hand. The efforts of the court to call Aunt Mary to order reminded one of a minstrel show. Aunt Mary was turned loose with a little lecture which was spotted on account of her system of addins a few words of condemnation at close intervals. But Aunt Mary says she will keep an eye on "dat ole man." R M. Johnson, the old duffer who was arrested yesterday for insulting girls on the street, was fined $10 at the afternoon session. The court said thai the rule of letting old soldiers off easy for minor offenses would be suspended Mary and Ann Problem. would put me wise on this puzzle. schoolboy problem was as old as Ann is now urn aw in the case. The old man paid his fine and faded away. Dick Justis, a negro arrested for va grancy, was fined $10 in police court yesterday and appealed the case. He claims that although he tolls not It la because he is physically unable on ac count of asthma" in his system. The man really has got a bunch of asthma with him, but the defense was "holy wagus" with the court. Complaint has been made to the po lice that two very fresh bovs down on Leland street are a nuisance and should be abated. The jVieishbors say that among the forms of amusement in dulged in by the pair is target practice rv 'dj V The Deadly Flobert Rifle. with a Flobert rifle. It is stated that they derive considerable eniovment from the practice of shooting at pass ersby just to see them. jump. The RusBura joint over Lawless livery barn on Quincy street was raided last night by 4 big bunch of officers, who broke into the place by means of the official latch key, a small crowbar used for the purpose. E. C. Russum was ar rested and the small amount of wet goods found on the premises confiscated. Later in the evening the same gang of coppers landed on the alleged disor derly house at Ninth and Quincy streets kept by Maggie Spendlove. The near neighbors have been complaining about the goings on at the place. Three people were arrested, Maggie Spendlove, as keeper, Mrs. William Spendlove, as in mate, and Charles Hubbard, as a "found in." Numerous kicks are being sent in to the station about small boys playing football on vacant lots. Perhaps the people want the boys to play in the cel lar, on the roof or not at all. The po lice fail to see how three or four little boys can injure any one with the pos sible exception of themselves by falling on a ball and rolling around on a va cant lot. But somehow the neighbors can't see it that way, and continue to knock. Some of them should have an ordinance passed prohibiting children from playing on penalty of death. MARKET HELD LP WELL In Face of the Numerous Failures During the Week. New Tork, Oct. 24. The stock market has shown good resistance this week to the depressing influence of the trust company and bank failures in Baltimore and Pittsburg. This has caused the hope that necessitous and forced liqui- dation in the stock market has been j completed, although the belief is gen- I eral that further contraction and reac- tion are to be looked for in business and industrials. The effect of accumulation I of reserves following liquidation of se- curities ha3, been -seen in the growing ease of the money market ana the growth of an Investment demand for railroad bonds, i WANTS TRUANT OFFICER. County Superintendent Wright Ap plies to Commissioners. County Superintendent S. W. Wright appeared before the board of county Commissioners Friday afternoon to argue in favor of the appointment of a county truancy officer. No action was taken upon the mat r and there is some doubt if the commissioners will act favorably upon it. Commissioner W. E. Sterne said today: "The board has not yet taken any action upon the application of Mr. Wright. He appeared yesterday" and made a very fair statement of his case. The commissioners have not taken the matter up for settlement." When the appropriation was. first laid before the commissioners they made ob jections to it. Superintendent Wright threatens to mandamus to board to compel the making of an appointment. Cotopaxi Is Active. Guayaquil, Ecuador, Oct. 24.

A mystery -which is puzzling art critics interested in the salon of the American Society of Artists has arisen. The Chicago connoisseurs are wondering wnether they have discovered a wonderful co incidence of artistic inspiration or are being made the receiving end of a prac tical joke. The mystery comes of the submission by the Boston art jury of Isaac Call gas" painting, "The Guardian Angel." The painting seems to be a copy of a picture of the same title by Abbott H. Thayer. If a copy, the fact was not made known by the Boston jury, nor does Caligas' painting announce the fact. An Investigation was begun today. I NEW SUICIDE METHOD. A Nurse Swallowed Large Quantity of Typhoid Germs. New York, Oct. 24. The London Lan cet says the Herald's London corre spondent, reports that a nurse at one ol the French hospitals has just tried a new way of committing suicide, viz., by swallowing two tubes of Eberth's pure culture of typhoid bacillus, on the third day the nurse had a headache, but no fever. Several rosy spots were visi ble on the fifth day. The short duration of the periods of incubation is explained by the large number of bacilli introduced at one time. It proved to be a very severe at tack of typhoid fever, but apparently not fatal. Hupp Loses His Cass. T. H.

Just as the salad came on Jimmy Enounced that he had extra work to do aC the office and would have to go right back as soon as dinner was over. This a8 a statement to arouse suspicions in the breasts of some wives but Mrs. Jim my only said, "Is that so? Why. that's too bad. Mrs. Crysler wanted us to go over there this evening," and added, as though incidentally, "When will you be back?" "Xot before 11. I'm afraid," said Jimmy. "You won't be frightened, will you? Mrs. Jimmy replied that she wouldn't, and the subject was dropped. When dinner was over he gave Mrs. Jimmy one of those haFty and perfunc tory ones in the neighborhood of the ear which does duty for ordinary occa sions alter the honeymoon and hurrird away. Now Mrs. Jimmy may have meant it v hen she said she was sorry Jimmy had to go back to the office but her ac tions as soon as the front door slammed behind him would not justify any such assumption. She went to the telephone immediately and failed up the Cryaler's. Jimmy has gone to the office," she said, when Mrs. Crysler answered, "and I want you all to come over here. Don t ray you can't, but as soon as the boys get there pile right over. You don't think I'm. going to stay all alone do you? H m? O! Until 11. he said. Well you'll be over won't you? ;oodbye." That was how it happened that half an hour later Mrs. Crysler dropped in at the Jimmy's with Bob and Courtlandt tagging along. They found Mrs. Jimmy waiting for them in the den and a little later there was a rabbit in process of construction and some cold bottles in convenient proximity. While they were at their luncheon Courtlandt sprung what he declared to be a new one: "Why," he asked, "Is a kiss like the creation'.'" Of course they gave it up. "Well." said Court landt. "there's nothing in it, but Ood knows it's good!" It was in the midst of the commotion which followed that Mrs. Jimmy heard a familiar step on the front walk. In another second the others heard it too and looked at her inquiringly. It was only S o'clock, but JVIrs. Jimmy could n't be mistaken about that walk. She flushed first and then turned pale. There reallv would seem to be no rea Foh to be so embarrassed, but Mrs. Jim my knew that if Mr. Jimmy's kisses had grown hasty and perfunctory his jealous suspicions were still in good working order and he had shown ft tendency of late to develop them, es pecially to the case of Courtlandt. In a minute Bob had shown that voune man out by the little vine covered back porch and Mrs. Jimmy had whisked his plate and glass out of sight in the pantrv. The hurry and confusion of these lightning changes, added to the effect of the refreshment, had the result of uro dueing something very like hysteria in the two women by the time Mr, Jim my had hung ud his coat and hat and appeared on the scene and it rested with Bob to cover the episode and save tiie day. "I was just telling the girls a new conundrum" he explained as he shook hands with Jimmy. "Io you know why a kiss is like the creation??" Jimmv said he didn't, so Bob told him. Jimmv is one of those good natured. obliging fellows who will laugh at a joke and the merriment of the girls who would have laughed at anything at that moment amounted to hilarity. They were all roaring when the door bell rang. Mrs. Jimmy said she would answer because the maid was out and hurried into the hall still laughinsr. "I left my top-coat," whispered Court landt, as she opened the door. "Why, how do you do, Mr. Courtlandt," said Mrs. Jimmy cordially. Then although her greeting had been loud enough for all the others to hear she called out: "Here's Mr, Courtlandt! Aren't you all glad?" adding in a whisper to him. "There it is. He never noticed it. Put your hat with it," and pushed him out into the dining room ahead of her. Mr. Jimmy straightened out enough to greet the new comer very agreeably but the others continued to howl even as they shook his hand. "What's the matter," asked Courtlandt, in that ag grieved tone we reserve for the people who laugh at things we don't know. Alas! It was Poor Jimmy who thought he knew what they were laugmng at who answered: "Bob has a new conun drum and by Oeorge It is pretty good," he said. Tell it, Bob!" "No," said Bob fairly black in the face now. "You tell it." "Well," said Jimmy, turning to Courtlandt, "do you know why a kiss is like the creation?" That conundrum made a hit with Jimmy and he has told it a great many times since but never with such good effect as the first time. "I never saw a fellow laugh at a joke as Courtlandt laughed at that one the first time lie heard it," he always adds. "It certain ly seemed to be hi3 idea of humor." An acceptable gift for the prospective bride's engagement box is a set of sachets in her favorite color and per fume. Made of silk or satin in some delicate shade embroidered with the flower whose perfume they contain, "lied with ribbons to match and put up daint ily in a pretty lined and perfumed box they will be warmly appreciated by any girl who realizes the trouble all those apparently trivial but important little odds and ends of the wedding outfit cause the overworked and worried bride. When it is impossible to find a flowered silk or a ribbon which will answer tha purpose try the effect of a thin, filmy material like tulle or chiffon over a pretty shade of china silk. One such set rerently made by a Topeka girl for an out of town bride-elect was or white tulle over pale lavender silk ana the sachet powder was lavender. Sometimes a combination of scents shaped, packages and tyin them wltti ribbon to match or contrast prettily. These are especially appropriate with the Japanese and Oriental sachet pow ders which are so deservedly populaa. If sandalwood for which there is such a. fad now is used the napkin in which it is folded may be of any strikingly and distinctively Japanese or Oriental de sign. A bachelor girl chose napkins with big blue bachelor buttons in the border for her sachets, and tied them with ribbons the color of the flower. But there are some women who never use sachet bags although they are gen erous with their use of sachet powder. This they keep in a talcum powder box and sririnkle it over their clothing from I time to time as the perfume fades. It brushes off easily, but the perfume is much more lasting and penetrating if used in this way it is claimed. Besides this scheme saves the trouble of refil ling the sachet bags. For the amateur gown builder: Measure, the waist at the smallest part and the. uppr arm around its largest part. wtt!i the arm bent up until the haid nearly touches the. shoulder. Measure the fore arm around its-largest part, with the arm extended and fist closed. Measure hip, thigh and calf at the largest part of each. A VERY NEAT SUIT.

Let us throw off the things of dark ness which we now practice and become the children of light and righteousness and we will reap the fruits of holiness unto everlasting life. Rev, G. F. Miller. Episcopalian, Brooklyn. GIVES BEST JUDGMENT. Conscience is not the voice of God in the soul, but rather does it give the best judgment with the light that one has as to what he ought to do. One's con science is nearest right when the dis ciple leaves most in the truth and life of the Christ. Rev. C. E. Phillips, Dis ciple, Braddoek. Pa. GIVE THE BEST TO GOD. The very best ive have is what we should give to our Lord. It is a rule we follow in our whole lives; we give most and best where we love most and best. Not until we learn to love our Lord as we should can we sacrifice to him as we ought. Rev. Dr. Alonzo Monk, Methodist, Atlanta. Ga. RECOGNITION OF SIN. A man who does not feel himself a sinner cannot be saved. The prodigal son would not arise until he found him self broken and beggared and barren in a wild country afar. The new life be gins in throes. Not until a man feels his sin will he seek his Saviour. Rev. Dr. Donald D MacLaurin, Methodist, Pittsburg. WORK OF THE GOSPEL. The old gospel of Christ abolished slavery and human sacrifices. It places woman in her rightful position in socie ty, fights the divorce scandals and would scourge polygamy from the high way of history. It teaches the brother hood of man. It knows no racial or national distinction. Rev. M, E. Har lan, Disciple, Brooklyn. THE FUTURE WORLD. There is something beyond this life, and one of these days you will find out what it is. It is not as mysterious as you would have it appear, because God has told us all about it. There is a bet ter country than this out yonder. There is a life waiting for you and a life wait ing for me. Rev. L. D. Blackmar, Bap tist, Williamsburg. N. Y. THE CURE FOR MONOTONY. Religion is the chief cure for the mal ady of monotony. Thousands of homes in this city are brightened by the spirit of Christianity. It is so different from the spirit of the world. Instead of self ishness, each one working for himself and looking for his own gratification, religion teaches love for others. Rev. E E. Olivers, Baptist, Philadelphia. RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION. The fundamental principle upon which- our nation was founded is pri marily a permanent protest against any and all acts of inhumanity, and from the beginning of our existence our national spirit ever rose in instinctive denunciation of governmental atrocity and religious persecution. Rev. Henry Frank, Independent, New York. THE TRUE DISCIPLE. There is but one kind of Christian discipleshiri and that the discipleship OI love the reflex action of that love with Christ. The Saviour came and lived end taught and died, and is with f is neople while they in love are serv ing mankind with the glad tidings of salvation in him. In that, with all that by the wav ministers to that, we fol low him, yielding up for his sake all selfish life aims riches, pleasure, worldly ambitions. Rev. Dr. Edward E Sibole, Lutheran, Philadelphia. THE ANCIENT FAITH STILL LIVES The vast majority of our citizens are virtuous and intelligent. We have good and wise rulers, faithful in the execu tion of their trust. T'ne suDiime ueneio of our fathers are not obsolete. The ancient faith still lives and will live in spite of the greed for gain, the heresies and the delusions of the present time. As long as the pure gospel of the Son of God is preached among us we need nni rtesnair of the reoublic. But 4et us never forget that it in not only the great fountain of our liberties, but that it is impossible to tneir preserva tion. It is the only religion that in spires men to be free and can keep them free. Kev. Dr. samuei. j. rsic colls, Presbyterian, St. Louis. THE WORLD TOO BUSY. We live in the "busy day" of the world. Men have had many duties resting on them in all ages, but the everlasting rush is peculiarly the char acteristic of the present generation. In business, in professional life, in edu cational circles, the progress is so rap id that we are overwhelmed in trrying to keep up with the procession. But while we are busy we are letting escape tne supreme things of life culture, friend ship, homa and religion. Our rush permits none of the heart to heart communion that makes friendships.

Every season brings its own particular variety of food, and no period of the vear gives a more acceptable supply of small game than the month of October, with its plentiful supply of small game birds filling our markets and enabling the housewife to make agreeable changes Jn her meat service and to delight and satisfy the tastes of her housenold. Many varieties are growing more scarce ech year, yet we will have partridges, prairie chickens, snipe, quail, etc., in abundance. All small game birds that can be roast ed are better cooked in a iacket of thin slices of fat salt pork or bacon. In cook ing game birds the old birds are best served in pies or fricassees. The young birds should be cooked as quickly as pos sible, served very hot, and rather under done. Remember young birds have soft feet, pliable bills and are plump. Part ridges, prairie chickens and quails are in market from the middle of October until the first of January. Game having white meat is best well cooked, dark meated birds should be served rather rare. The flesh of game has a finer, more delicate flavor, containing less fat than that of poultry, keeping develops the flavor of game, but the birds should not be hung long enough for decomposition to take place, although some declare that the fla vor is not. fully developed until this stage is reached. PRAIRIE CHICKEN. Prairie chickens make a good fricassee; or if young and tender, roast in a very hot oven, to an even brown, first larding with thin strips of fat bacon' remove from pan to hot platter; add two tablespoonfuls of flour to the gravy in pant half pint of boiling water: stir until smooth; strain and serve with chicken. ROAST QUAII. Clean your quail, remove heads and feet, arrange the joints, wrap each bird in a covering of thinly sliced pork, place in a cooking pan just large enough to hold them. Cover with boiling water, a little sprinkling of salt and pepper, then place over a hot Are ten minutes. Re move the porK, dry each bird with a cloth, spread them well with butter and roast brown in a very hot oven, baste frequent ly with melted butter, strain the broth in which they were broiled, mix with it an equal quantity of melted currant jelly. Serve the birds very hot on a separate dish. Pass currant jelly. PARTRIDGE FRICASSEE. Clean your birefs, divide as for a potpie; put in a large sauce pan a piece of butter the size of an egg, heat very hot. roll each piece of fowl in flour, pack closely in hot butter, cover tightly, cook for, ten minutes, then add water enough to keep from burning. Simmer slowly until' ten der. Take up meat in a deep dish. Add enough hot water to pan to make a rich gravy; pour over meat and serve. SAIaMI OF GAME. This may be prepared from the game left over from yesterday's dinner. Carve very neatly and remove every particle of fat and skin from legs, wings and breasts. Bruise the bodies well and put them into a stewing pan. Add a bay leaf, two on ions sliced, a few pepper corns and a blade of mace, pour over enough veal broth, stock or gravy to cover, let boil un til reduced one-half; strain, skim off the fat, season with cayenne and lemon juice; heat up slowly without allowing to boil. Border the dish with fried bread or mush triangles; put the game in the center; pour the gravy over it and serve. BROILED BIRDS. Clean and split the birds down the back, sprinkle with salt, dredge with flour to prevent the escape of the juices. Place in a wire broiler inside next to fire. Al low ten minutes for quail, from twenty five to forty for partridges and prairie chickens. When done place them on a hot dish. Butter well on both sides: serve on toast. If the breasts of the birds are quite thick broil them slowly and covered at first. Inquiries Answered. Mrs. K. C. writes: Will you kindly pub lish recipe for tomato catsup? Also for canning tomatoes and chili sauce. TOMATO CATSUP. A good recipe for tomato catsup was given in answers to inquiries foHowing articie on cranberries. CANNED TOMATOES. Select perfect tomatoes of small size, do not skin them but pack in large mouthed jars. Set them under the co-Id water fau cet and let the water run into the Jars un til the air bubbles cease to rise; have them level full: then place them in a lare boiler with wooden rack or straw under neath them and fill the boiler with suffi cient water to half cover the jars. Place over the fire, cover the boiler closely and tat thn water boil' around for half an hour.

Appearances make cowards of us all. A lady, shopping in the stores. Inadvertently picked up another lady's umbrella from the counter, had the mistake pointed out to her rather frigidly, and, of course, re turned the umbrella with apologies. She then remembered that she had no um brella with her at all: and, as it, of course had begun to rain again by that time, she went and bought one for herself, as well as one. for a birthday present to some one else. With the two umbrellas in her hand she hailed an omnibus in Victoria street, and, as luck would have it. sa; down opposite to the very lady whose umbrella she had inadvertently picked up. The coincidence was too much for the other lady. "I congratulate, you on your very successful morning," ehe said sar castically, as she swept out of the omni bus.

Washington Post: Kansas City, Mo., is protesting against being confused with Kansas City, Kan., where they have a boodle scandal. The world is slow to learn that Kansas City lives off of but not in Kansas. If Canada determine to shake off the control of Great Britain and set up in the nation business for herself, she probably would receive much assist ance in one way and another from this side of the line. It is reported that the railroads of the country are preparing ta lay off 50,000 men. The recent general advance in wages will count for little with those unfortunates who find themselves out of Jobs. It is pretty hard for a city, a county, a state or a labor union to get ahead of a corporation. Certainly a canning factory would be a nice thing for the city, but while it is under discussion it is as well to re member that a very large part of the fresh fruit and vegetables consumed in Topeka are shipped from other states.. If we are to have a Canning factory it is as well to see that there is some thing to can. The story comes from Berlin that Emperor William sank into his hips In a bog during his recent deer stalking expedition. The foresters in attendance pulled him out of the mire, and he con tinued to hunt. Later the emperor gave orders that sixty pioneers be sent to drain the morass and afterwards fill it up with earth. This illustrates one of the advantages of being an emperor. "Patronage is the bane of political life," says Mayor Carter Harrison of Chicago. "If expenses could be kept down, I would not be sorry if the bridge tenders were placed on the civil service lists. The old idea that patron age is political strength is defunct. The fewer jobs I have to give out the bet ter satisfied I am. For every man I make glad by giving him a job three men are made sore, so where does the gain come in?" One cubic foot of standard gold is worth $326,340. $1,000 of new gold coin weighs 53.75 Troy ounces. The diameter of the $10 piece is 21-20 of an inch. The stock of gold in the country is esti mated at $1,277,362,651, and if no allow ance be made for abrasion, will weigh 2,353.9 tons avoirdupois. Reduced to a solid mass, it would contain 3.934.2 cubic feet, and would fill a vault that meas ured 15.7S5 feet on all sides. If coined into eagles, and placed edge to edge, it would make a line 2,116.84 miles long. If blaced on board freight cars, with 16 tons in each car, it would require 147 cars. With an estimated population of S0,S31,O00, this stock of gold gives a per capita of $15.80. Alluding to American commercial expansion U. S. Treasurer Roberts in addressing the American Bankers' as sociation at San Francisco this week said: "But we invade the old world with our manufactures by reason of the skill and energy of American labor and the methods devised by American genius. We run electric roads beside the Pyramids; we furnish harvesters for Russia; we build bridges in the Sou dan and in Burmah; send locomotives to farthest Manchuria, help Germany to load coal, sell shoes to Austria, scatter sewing machines everywhere, and our watches keep time on the Danube, the Nile and the Orinoco. Our high wages have not yet checked our invasion of the markets of Europe and Asia. In creasing home consumption affects to some degree the exports of our mer chandise, for we ship only what our own people do not use, but the more we make the more we shall sell." THE INTERTJRBAN KAILWAY. A prominent citizen remarked the other day that the city of Topeka would derive inore actual benefit from one or two electric lnterurban railways centering here than from a trunk line of a transcontinental railway. It is doubtless true that lnterurban electric lines are of great value, and Topeka should give every possible encourage ment to the proposed line to Manhat tan, and the other proposed line to Auburn, Dover, and southwestern lo calities. By means of the electric road, with a fare of a cent a mile and a speed of a mile a minute, the farmer is brought into close touch with the city, and many of the objections to farm life are removed. On the other hand, some of the advantages of country life are placed at the disposal of the city resi dent. The farmer can come to town regardless of the bad condition of the roads. He does not need to make an all-day trip of It. In the time which it now takes to travel out to Oakland, he would be able to ride nearly all the way from Manhattan on the lnter urban. The hired man and the farmer boy will take their girls to town to the theater in the evening, or can patron ize the great entertainments at the Auditorium. At the same time the in terurban brings in from the country resh produce, makes "embalming fluid" unnecessary to preserve the sweetness of milk served to city pa trons, and gives the city man and his family an easy way to get into the ountry for a restful outing or half day's picnic. Realizing all these advantages, it is still important that the city council in granting to the proposed Manhattan line a 30-year franchise should exercise great care. Thirty years is a long time, and while it may seem a hardship to make strict provisions in the franchise now, the time will come when the city will not regret it. THE TTXTCHER MURDER. The murder of Fred Tutcher, a young man who had a reputation for attend ing to his own business by two drunken negroes this week was inhuman and wholly w ithout justification. The shoot ing was unprovoked and there wasn't the least semblance of extenuation. There was a sentiment among the people of Topeka favoring the lynching of the two miserable wretches who" per petrated the dastardly murder but fort unately it subsided without a show of mob law. A community gains nothing by taking the law into its own hands. It may result in terrorizing the lawless element for a time but in the end the moral effect on the community at large is demoralizing. There are few people who will say that these men do not de serve hanging but meeting one murder with another would not bring the victim back to life nor lighten the burden of grief which the family of the young man must sustain. Topeka may congratulate itself that the danger of a disgraceful lynching has been averted and that the law is to be allowed to take its course. There is another feature in the Tutch er murder that may well be considered. It is the evidence of wantonness among I young men, white and black that crops j out so often in every community. It is altogether likely that Mason and De Moss, when they started out "for a time" last Sunday, had no thought of murder in their minds. Still they were armed and when an occasion presented itself they did not- hesitate to shoot down an innocent man. It was appar ently done in a spirit of wantonness which comes from an unnatural and perverted idea of the purpose of human life. There are too many young men in Topeka who are like Mason and DeMoss in a greater or less degree. "VOTING MACHINES COMING. The voting machine is certainly on its way to popularity. The machines were used in the recent municipal election in Indianapolis and were a pronounced success. The Journal has the following to say of their use: The advantages to be gained are very obvious. It means, in the first place, practically no disfranchisement, through honest mistakes, which is one of the greatest drawbacks of the Australian system. There have been numerous elections, city, county and township, in Indiana since the adoption of the Aus tralian law. In which there have been enough mutilated ballots to have chang ed the result, had they been counted, and in all these cases it has been a question if the will of the majority has not been defeated through ignorance or carelessness. With the machine there can be no ballot vitiated By distin guishing marks, and it is mechanically impossible for the voter to vote for two candidates for the same office. The very worst he can do is to neglect to vote for some candidate he had intend ed to vote for. Another advantage lies in a consider able saving of expense. Not only can the number of officers reouired to con duct a precinct polling place be reduc ed, but they will draw pay for buf one day .instead of for two or three days. as under the old system. The expenses of an election are reduced more than half, and in most cases as much as two-thirds. The machines will pay for themselves in a very few elections, and afterwards result in a great saving to the people, for they should last many decades with proper care. But the great advantage, and the one that should determine the adoption of voting machines, regardless of expense, lies in the elimination of fraud they must work. It has been demonstrated over and over again that it is possible to "beat" the Australian law, and every election brings the same old charges by each party that the other is perpetrat ing wholesale frauds by the use ol car bons in envelopes, an exchange ballot or some other of the numerous means of identifying the vote of the purchasable voter. With the machine there is no possible way of doing this. Probably the commonest method of fraud is by the purchase of election boards, and there have been elections in which this was done on a very large scale. With the machines there could be no advantage in this, and it would not be worth while to corrupt the boards. Furthermore, the promptness with Which the returns are made up and brought in is not merely a great satisfaction to the public, but is In itself a preventive of fraud. In deed, It seems that the only loophole for corruption left by the machine Is the possibility of bribing voters 'to stay away from the polls, and this Is some thing that could only be reached by a compulsory voting law. THE 1:50 TROTTER NEXT? September witnessed the arrival of two two-minute trotters. Mid-October finds Lou Dillon and Major Delmar out of their brief co-regency in the trotting world and Cresceus, the 9-year-old king, restored to his own, says the New Tork World. Except for his brief month in second place, Cresceus has been at the top since August 1, 1901. It is announced that his record-breaking performance of Monday, when he did his mile in 1:5334 at Wichita, was practically his farewell to the track. He goes into re tirement with the proud record of hav ing led the way toward that 1:50 mark which becomes the goal of the trotters now that the "2:00" has lost its interro gation point. It Is by no means the least feature of the Cresceus perform ance that no wind shield figured in it. Three and a half seconds now sepa rate the trotting from the pacing rec ord. From the 1:564 of Dan Patch, the champion pacer, to the 1:37 3-5 of Alan-a-Dale, the world's champion i-un-ner, is a more considerable chasm. To make the 1:50 line the trotter must break over what was a good running mark years ago. It to6k a century to reach the two-minute trotter. Prof. Brewer, of Yale university, says fifty years more will produce the 1:50 cham pion, and that the limit will then have been attained. It is on record that the professor predicted twenty-five years ago the arrival of the two-minute trot ter in the first decade of the present ceatury. JATEAWKER JOTS.

A bridegroom, compared with the chest of silver and the cut glass, makes a mighty poor showing at a wedding. What contempt an idle man's woman folks have for him!

Somehow, we admire a boy of 12 all the more if he has no more use for a parlor than he would have for a powder puff. Atchison must be very dull socially: The Globe has never yet reported a caso of nervous prostration due to too much society doings.

MANEUVER NOTES. In the matter of colonels, Kansas Just now, at Camp Sanger, near Fort Riley, rivals Kentucky. Whatever may be the disparity in numbers, this state has cer tainly furnished for the maneuvers a quality of colonels that, cannot be ex celled by-even the blue grass state. The governor has a staff to conjure with. Governor Bailey, who is" the command er-in-chief of, the armies, and navies. :f you count the four-wheeled schooners used in hauling the munitions of war, has about him a staff of colonels which does credit to him and his escort I in these piping times of actual peace. but mimic warfare. The conduct of these gallant colonels, brigade officers and of the more than one thousand national guardsmen under them, indicates that in politeness and ervlce Kansas is happily represented. The practice work of the troops in camp and in field impresses every visitor that n the event of actual war or real trouble, the governor has behind him u force which he can call upon with faith and rely upon with confidence. Brief mention of some of his colonels and their doings may not be without interest to the reader, as the story of the colonels is a story of the maneuvers. There is Colonel James Smith, Quar termaster General. He Jooks after the rolled oats for the staff officers and the baled hay for their mounts. His famil iarity with actual service in the civil war and continued experience in the office of the. Adjutant General equipped' him fully for his duties on this occa- ion. Here Is Colonel C. S. Elliott, paymas ter general, whose association with fi nancial affairs in actual business makes him valuable in his present position, for however unreal the warfare, the men receive ready money for their services. This compensation has a wide It covers forty-two cents a dav for the enlisted men, $15 a day for the brigadier general, $9 for the colonel, about $8 for the lieutenant colonel, and so on down the pay roll. Colonel Elliott is not pay ing out any money this week. He was simply paying his respects to the gov ernor and acting as a courteous guide and courier to the gubernatorial party. ne nas me oest riding horse in tha camp, a gentle grey. This animal fell to the lot of one of the Topeka men for the first two days, when a requisition was made for the good mount by the gov ernor, and the paymaster honored the request. Governor Bailey had been rid ing a spirited black animal, more ef fective as an ornament than as an easy method of transportation. What th i governor wanted was a less rocky and a more rocking motion. Colonel Elliott not onlv furnished the leggings for the rider, but he put them on and pulled them off. This getting into and out of the leathers is one of the most difficult maneuvers that the in dividual citizen visitor is obliged to ex ecute in viewing the caitiD and the movements from horseback. Colonel Elliott will pay out about two thousand dollars of the state appropri ation, leaving a large balance in the treasury, as the general government for the first time, under the "Dick" law, now bears practically all the ex pense in the transportation, equipment and provision for men and animals. Fortunately for the -state, the duties of the paymaster general are now more of a polite than a financial nature. This year the United States has placed at the disposal of the militia of the states of the union a million dollars to cover uniforms and minor equipment. From this sum of money Kansas has been apportioned about $19,000. Colonel C. J. Garver is the judge ad vocate general, a Wellington lawyer. who saw that the governor made few legal breaks and rescued him happily and promptly from all he fell into. The colonel's principal duties were of a social ratner than of a Judicial charac ter, while the. commander-in-chief was in camp. Colonel Harry O'Donnell. the surgeon general, is known in political circles as well as medical and military circles. He is the good humored Irish doctor who represents the legislative district in which Ellsworth is located. Every thing was so selean and healthy and sanitary around the staff and regi mental headquarters that it seemed a positive waste of money to have a phy sician on the ground, except that an ounce of prevention always beats a pound of cure, i Colonel -O'Donnell, with the governor and party in their rambles over the ter ritory, showed that in whatever school of society he had been trained, he was equal to the entertainment of the en tire party, especially devoted to the ladies, seeing that they missed none of the attractions of the camp. Now comes Colonel N. H. Loomis, in reality on the governor's staff as in spector general, but actually master of transportation and in charge of a mul titude of duies, the statute wisely per mitting the governor to assign members of his staff to any other service which may seem advisable. The governor seemed to have pressed the law in this instance to its limit, for Colonel Loomis not only provided a private car, with all its luxuries and equipments, dining, sleeping and observation quarters, but as inspector general looked after the comfort and entertainment of the party on the rail, in tent, and on the fighting line. Loomis, for the state and his union Pacific road, could do things besides marching with gleaming saber and clanarine sours. As inspector general he analyzed the food for himself and the staff and party, passed on the uniforms and the Krag-Jorgensens to see that no com pliance with the regulations was want ing. In fact, his duties as an officer of the line were performed with such eclat that Judge W. A. Johnston and Judge J. C. Pollock, of the supreme court, decided in the camp, to unan mously recommend the appointment of Colonel Loomis as judge advocate gen eral in the regular army. From the compliments Colonel Loomis received, he finally became actually alarmed, and is just now afraid that the presi dent may get him mixed up in the maneuvers between the politicians and the soldiers and might happen to issue him an army commission instead of a judgeship. No colonel was more devoted to his commander-in-chief and the satelites about him than hi? aide-de-camp. Lieu tenant Colonel Frank L. Travis, of Iola. Travis is nominally In the insur ance business, but to see him ia camo. one would Fuppose he had been bred upon hardtack and army tactics. TTe is the healthiest looking member -of tH governor's staff, iolished from hed to foot. The actions of Colonel Travis shone brilliantly on ell occasions. Noth ing was smoother than his conduct, unless it be the ton of his head. -charmed all the ladies from ToDeka. was especially devoted to them in gen eral and to two Iola ladies in particular, one of whom was his sister. He was detailed by Adjutant General Kelsey to look after the cororoissarv for the staff tand its hungry following. General Kelsey showed his capable -and keen discrimination of men when he as signed Travis to this service and gave him the efficient black cooks to serve as aides in the camp. The combination ofKelsey's cooks and Travis" larder gave a product that elevated the mmd and sustained the body during the day's fights. The food this colonel gave the gov ernor was plain, but well nrenared and set forth. Only one complaint came forth from the governor, and that was the size of the napkins. Later the Gov ernor was given a towel. Travis was so polite and considerate that he always backed out of the Governor's tent. He really cut more ice than any body about the staff, and one day while cooling the ginger ale, the only bev erage noticed about headquarters, Travis injured his finger, cutting it to the bone, thus achieving the distinc tion of being the only wounded man In the brigade. The Iola man has his eye on congress, and will undoubtedly re ceive the unqualified support of his numerous fellow colonels and their quests. j Colonel Fred C. Bergen is a banker at Summerfield, in Marshall county, but is well versed in all the technicalities of the guardsmen in the camps, and as a support to the commander. He is a formerly-of-Topeka man, a nephew of Edwin Knowles. If he serves the stockhohirs of his bank as well as the guests of the week, liberal dividends must come with great regularity. Colonel Sam F. Woolard is another enthusiastic guardsman, and a more devoted aide-de-camp no governor could have. As an insurance man he travels over nine states, adjusting losses, but this week he is counting the gains of the national guard of Kansas by the maneuvers which are acoualnt ing the militiamen with methods ana conditions of war and the regulars with approved movements in camp and field. Colonel Harry Brent was the busiest colonel of the lot. He rounded out a staff over which Governor Bailey con tinually congratulated himself in the matter of efficiency and conduct. Colonel Brent is the Governor's stenog rapher and is also General Kelsey's assistant adjutant. When he was not with his saber, he was at his type writer, and in this case his nen mav have been mightier than the sword, for from the former came the orders of Bailey, the commander-in-chief of General Kebrey, and the reports of Gen eral Hughes of the brigade, Colonel jrieicaii. or me irst and (Jolonel Hols ington of the Second regiment. it more attention has been given in these notes to colonels than to other officers, it is because there seemed to be more of them and they were out in the The distinguished Kansas colonel at Fort Riley enjoys the distinction of a lower title at the maneuvers than away from them. He is Colonel Wilder Met. calf of the First regiment, Kansas Na- tlonal Guards, otherwise brigadier gen eral promoted for efficiency in the ser vice as colonel of the great Twentieth Kansas. Colonel Hoisington of the Second regi ment is a national guardsman of long standing, years of experience, ana com mands the respect as well as the atten tion of all about him. These two colonels and their com mands, with Brigadier General Hughes, covered themselves with glory In the day's maneuvers, their operations in the field receiving warm praises from the regular army officers. General Hughes has been specially honored on this ac casion, and seemed to fully deserve the distinction, being the only officer of the national guard assigned to a brigade, ranking at Fort Riley with such men as General Grant, General Bell, Genera Berry and General Carr, the commander of the Fort Riley post. No one can visit Fort Riley at this time and not be deeply impressed with the great value and importance that these maneuvers bear to the country in general and to Kansas in particular. Nothing of such magnitude has been at tempted heretofore. It is said that not since the Civil war has there been such a gathering together of artillery. Thero are ii,uuu regular soldiers and 4,00o na tional guardsmen. The regulars arc from various posts from the Lakes to the Gulf and to the mountains. The tented city extends for miles along th Kaw near its source, the junction of the Smoky Hill and Republican rivers. The ground is particularly well adapted to the purpose. The reservation itself in cludes some sixty square miles, but lands and farms had been leased for the event. The territory covered by the movements of troops extends for halt u dozen miles in all directions. This article whirb h9 mainlv tnIA nf the pleasant features of camp life in the guard regiments are college professors vicinity of the commander-in-chief, who and graduates, doctors, lawyers, busi was merely a spectator, tells little about I ness and professional men, of the nigh- the actual hardships of the men en- gaged in this mimic warfare. From early morning until after dark, Colonel Metcalf was heard to remark, he had but an onion and some hardtack for subsistence. He ate and fought with the men at Sanger as well as in thu Philippines. Th xomr. t s.r.,-,ritd in spect like that of soldiers in the field. The present facilities for this essential part of warfare are so improved that ho benefit is greater than the education received along sanitary lines these days at Riley. Lieutenant General Toung, chief of staff, the highest officer in the United States army, present at the maneuvers, observing the camp said: "It is worth all the expense for tne reg ulars and militia to learn the modern methods of life In the camp." This Is made plainer when it is stated that not a "scrap of paper or refuse Is visible about the thousand tents. Everything is as near absolute cleanliness as Is pos sible in a tented city. Crude petroleum is burned and other disinfectants used; the camps are practically odorless. The government has learned that more men perish in the army from disease, tnan by the bullet. The armor against slcxnesa is as important as the ritle pit and en trenchment. The presence of General Grant lent especial interest to the occasion. Tn first impression of him ia his remark- able likeness to his father, whether the observer had ever seen General U. S. Grant in person or only by picture. General Fred Grant is 54 years of age, but looks older. He is pleasingly kir.d and courteous. His ways are demo cratic. He was one of the first to call upon Governor Bailey, and when the lat ter returned the calL the event was on of delightful Informality. General Grant's tent was exceedingly plain: a canvas, a cot, a table, a few chairs, a little stove, a trunk. "I have so great respect for Kansas," said he, "that I am a teetotaler. I learned years ago that it was best to avoid liquor, so I don't use it on the reservation in Kansas or elsewhere. Some years ago, when I left my active life so long led Tn the field, going from daily riding In the saddle into the 'diplomatic service. I found nothing was so important as diet and care in drinking. WThen President Harrison kindly named me as minister to Austria. I told one of my comrades in the ranks, who had served the gov ernment longer than he had the school master, of my fortune m being named as minister to a foreign country. 'You will make a great preacher," said he. My commission said I was minister ex traordinary, but I really thought 1 was an extraordinary minister." The general explained to Governor Bailey the problem of the following day. General Grant was to be In command of 8.000 troops. 2,000 cavalry and 6,000 In fantry. The enemy was imaginary. The wagon train was two miles long and the maneuver on General Grant's part was to so protect his troops and base, of supplies that neither would be captured. He said to the governor that night: "I have figured it all out, and believe my position is impregnable; but of course the morrow alone can tell." He laid out the maps and diagrams ana was as interested as if the engagement of the next day were real. General Grant impressed his visitors as a man who is not only likable as a son of his great father, but also lovable for his kindly self. Colonel Shepherd, a veteran who arove the ambulance carrying the governor'to the general, introduced himself to the son and said he had been wltb his father at Shiloh and Donaldson. Grant was as cordial to the old teamster as to the governor. The" spot Is historic. Within a stone's throw of Governor Bailey's tent are the standing walls of the first capital of Kansas. Here, in the summer of ISoS, the first legislature of the territory held a sessioli of a few months. The head quarters, on a side hill, command a charming view of river, plain, hills and the canvas city. As the governor and his visitors were viewing one of the maneuvers from a hill top, other problems by other forces were being worked to a solution in por tions of the field miles away. The flash of cannon to the north, followed by the the boom at an interval of seven sec onds, showed that this particular artil lery, at the rate sound moves, was 7.700 yards or about four miles away. Three miles in the opposite direction a gleam of sabras and a cloud of dust showed the approach of the Browns, the ene my which was to attack the tsiues in the neighborhood of the view point. The Blues were General Hughes and his brigade, the Browns are regulars. The fighting lasted several hours, the trooDs coverine several miles of terri tory. The spectacle was not that of a nearby panorama immediately before one's eyes, but with a scope of many miles. A field glass lent interest. At times the opposing forces were within a quarter of a mile of Commander Bailey. The crack of the rifles, the smoke from the guns, the scurrying of the Blues and the Browns, the line of sentinels and outposts, the taking to cover, the charge and retreat, all indicated an actual bat tle, except the use of bullets, and omit ting the slaughter and maiming of man and horse. The operations were followed by um pires, distinguished by 'white bands about the arms. Officers and men were declared killed and ruled out of action whenever they exposed themselves con trary to recognized rules of war. uhr fieneral Bates, who has charge of the maneuvers, is in command o the Department of the Lakes at cnicagu and of the Department of the Missouri at Omaha- His affability, courtesy and democracy impressed one' that he was a man who assumed the work of the military with the same ease tnat a good business man conducts his work as mercnant. Those who carefully visit Fort Riley at this time will carry away with them tv,o feeiins- that the e-overnment can ex pend no money "so judiciously as in the conduct of mimic war movements of this kind. The people of the unitea States will never permit a great stand ing army like that of the governments of Europe. Liberty loving people are not so constituted. A well constituted regular army must be maintained, but after all, the defense of the country lies in its citizen soldiery, volunteers and militia These maneuvers afford the national guardsmen a most essen tial education. They mix with the reg ulars: they learn the latest and most approved methods in vogue in camp and field. In the artillery of the na tional guard, a regular in these ooera tions works side by side with the militiaman. In the campaigns in the field, a regular is in touch with a guardsman, officer or enlisted man. The experience is as near like actual war fare as peaceable conditions permit. If we are to carry a big stick, and that is President Roosevelt's sensible policy, we must Bee that the stick is serviceable and effective and that a trained hand wields it. The fact that these national g-uardsmen are not men from the lower walks of life, but from all branches in business and orofes sional lines, makes more important and effective the force which the governor and the nation feel are back of them in case of trouble. The governor of Kaunas must be more than ever Im pressed with the fact that he has be hind him, in an efficient national guard, a force which can in an emergency sup port the state in almost any extremity. In the ranks of the Kansas national est sianuiiiK. The published statement that Gover nor Bailey lived in a Pullman car while at the maneuvers is a mistake, for as commander-in-chief he slept and ate under canvas during his entire stay. This isf the first occasion on which a rovernofa nae nas ever been aispiayeu. J It is a blue pendant, with a silver center representing the state coat or arms, four sinzle stars, and the words "Gov ernor of Kansas." The design was by Adjutant General Kelsey. approved by the war deportment. The flag was dis played in front of the governor's tent whenever he was about headquarters, and replaced by the colors when the governor was away. At the maneuvers are not only some of the greatest officers in the army, but the national guard in large numbers from the state of Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Texas, Arkansas and Nebraska. Many other states, like New Tork and Pennsylvania, have sent representatives a number of them governors. For eign countries have on the grounds such men as Lord Hamilton, the last and successful British general in thu Boer war, an officer who ranks third in the British army. Great Britain also sends Colonel Burbeck. who came espe cially for these maneuvers. Russia sends Colonel Raspopoff. Spain sends a 1 colonel, who is taking numerous notes of the military affairs of a country with which his government has recently en gaged. The evening meals of the governor and staff and guests were followed by toasts and impromptu speeches cover ing the interests and welfare of the military. It was brought out on more than one occasion that with the im portance of the militia to the eovern ment and state, something morer must be done for the cuardsmen than an allowance of 42 cents per day. The nine days' maneuver is not altogether a picnic to the enlisted man, who goes on actual guard day and night, tires himself tramping in the dust and dirt. meeting many of the exigencies and j hardshtcs of real war. all to the pnd that the state and tne nation may profit by his education and experience. Colonel Dr. R. Anthony, one of the Governor's party, with Colonel James Smith and Major Fox, ex-adjutant general, formed a trio of members of the old Seventh Kansas, which had j gathered at this same spot during the war nearly i yvare gu. toionet An thony, with more civil war experience than any of the others in the Gov ernor's contingent on this visit, enjoyed everything but his experience as a cavalryman.' The horse assigned to him was unfortunately cot of a specially gentle disposition. There was little contrast between the mount and the mounted. Both were lively and spirit- ed. The- horse raised both dust and blisters. The veteran colonel was even tually compelled to dismount, although no orders to that effect were issued by the commander-in-chief. It is to b placed to the colonel's credit that ha was not ponced. a military term ap plied to an accident when the rider is thrown by movement of horse or saddle. Coming down to captains, we' find Pancoast Kidder, a Chesterfield at home, but a working officer of the engineer ing corps at Camp Sanger. Mayor Wil liam Pierce is another engineer. Here also is Captain H. M- Phillips, who did efficient service during the flood in Topeka. He had just discovered a captain who had demanded and receiv ed 46 rations, but the next day was re quired to distribute 42 rations among 44 men: This is given as an instance f the exactness to which the commissary department is held to the rules, for had not Captain Phillips accounted for tha extra two rations, his pay would have been withheld to cover the difference between the number of men and the number of rations. If Judge Johnston of the supreme court gave you the military salute this morning when you met him, don't won der at it. He simply can't help it, spending two days at Camp Sanger. One of the interesting incidents of the day was the exhibition of a mountain battery, in charge of Major W. W. Mln nick of Wichita. This is a new gun called a Maxim, especially constructed for use in mountainous countries. The wheels and carriage and tne barrel of the cannon are disconnected, the parts mounted upon four mules. Less than two minutes are required to unload from the backs of the pack animals and put the piece into operation.- One of the valuable attaches to head quarters is Captain Wilcox of Emporia, the oldest national guardsman present. He became a militiaman in 1873. Liquor drinking in the camp was ap parently reduced to a minimum and drunkenness was not tolerated. The best soldier is one who keeps a level head. Colonel Hoisington, on one occa sion, cut the chevrons from the sleeves of a sergeant and sent him from the camp, a rare case of intoxication ia tha regiment. T-- At the encampment are many boys ot the Twentieth Kansas. A mere list ol them would be long. Captain Cole of Washburn college is one of them. He is adjutant of Colonel Metcairs regi ment and conducts the guard mounts and other duties of his position like a regular. Lieutenant Doster. now of tha regular army. Is there and one of the educated soldiers of whom Topeka and Kansas are proud. The governor of Kansas now has an official saddle blanket, a blue felt em blazoned at the lower corners with four sCfcre. The commander-in-chief thus wears more stars than tnybodv. There was Brigadier General Hughes with one Btar, Major General Bates with tyro stars, and Lieutenant General Young with three stars. The etiquette of tha occasion required that the governor ap pear at times in his prescribed uniform as commander. This is simply a silk hat and a Prince Albert coat, both ot which our governor wore with becom ing grace and dignity, although he ap parently disliked the regalia, but felt the conventional dress essential. No one is a better equestrian than he. With his close fitting blouse, his riding leg gings and campaign hat, as he wit nessed the maneuvers, he was a Dleas Ing figure. He sits a horse like a gen eral, and on the last mount horse and man moved with the ease of a centaur. Mrs. Bailey was the daughter of the regiment. She met the different oc casions with becoming grace. In the large tent at meal time she presided at one end of the table, the governor at the other. The commander-in-chief Is-, sued orders to everybody but his prin cipal escort, who was thus for the oc casion entitled to five stars by the obedience and attendance at her side of the commander himself. The gov ernor's wife received special recogni tion from the officers and staffs of the regulars and the national guard. Governor Bailey was anxious to re turn to Camp Sanger today and mix up with the Kansas boys among the tents and down the two regimental lines, but state work kept him in his shirt sleeves, with his plug hat In its leather case and his Prince Albert waiting for a real call to arms. QUAKER REFLECTIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. Some races are ridden and some are rowed. The football hero will soon mount his pedestal. The finger of scorn often has a wed ding ring on it. A woman's stationery doesn't always indicate her station. Even the man with an Iron will real izes that his heirs may break it. A critic is a person who tells other people how to do things he can't do himself. A dumb waiter can't talk, but neither, for that matter, can a speaking tube. A philosopher Is often a roan who disguises his dyspepsia with the cloak of wisdom. Cast your bread upon the waters and you will realize how many people are out for the douglk When you hear a man say that tha time is ripe for reform he really means that it's rotten. Mra. Muggins "Mrt. Kenpeckke says her husband talks in his sleep." Mm. Buggins "Poor man! I suppose that's the only chance he ever gets." REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR From the New Tork Press. 1 It's funny how sorry an old maid can feel for an old bachelor. Chorus girls are very frank about showing you their reasons for going on the stage. The girl who wants to go on the "tage has about as much reason for it as the young man who wants to go Into poll tics. Once there was a man who never went around giving his friendsa tip on a good thing, but it was because It really was good-- When a, man says he is worried over his business his wife seems to think it wouldn't be that way If he took her ad vice about wearing a muffler when he .went out in the ev ening. Passing of the Billboard. There can be no doubt that newspa per advertising is rapidly increasing its lead over the billboard in the favor of the advertiser. The public has again and again expressed Its opposition to the billboard, and with city after city passing laws abolishing the unsightly disfigurements, the bill board is in a fair way to become a thing of the past. As the newspaper grows in favor, ths billboard diminishes, and who will deny that the newspaper of today Is a far greater factor in the publicity field than it was even a year ago? As advertising grows more out of its infancy and out ot its experimental state, the up-to-date periodicals are looked upon as the prop er mediums through which to reach the public From Newspaperdom.

THINK loneliness is responsible for more than half the Bins of the luman race. We are certainly fond of groins in twos and threes. principally twos. Show me a hu man being who Is really fond of being alone, and I will show you an oddity. Show me a woman of that description, and I will show you a freak, for women re nine times more sociable than men. There have been male anchorites, but only one woman who shut herself in a cave in the desert, and that during the long period of the dark ages when an chorites were the thing, reli giously speak ing. And why? For one thing, the eternal silence. I need say no more, but for an enthusiastic, warm hearted personality to be shut up with in four walls, be they the most luxurious walls in the world, to be shut up alone, S-h. blighting demon ef thero ig-eternai loneliness. silence save when it is broken by the sound of her wn voioe, that is punishment indeed. That is why, like the anchorite cell of old, the lonely bachelor apartment is tiot popular with even the new woman. The woman who has the misfortune to be alono In the world usually adopts the expedient of going in with another wo man, share and share alike, but as an Unkind providence has made woman finicky over the small things of life these partnerships arc apt to be dismal failures. Perhaps the worst thing out them is that they make each wo man acquainted with the innermost se reta of the other's disposition, mode of life, etc The Diaftr of It All. Now, this la the very worst kind of knowledge to give a woman, for while there are some women who will keep aecrets as long as they keep a friend ship or a partnership, there are prac tically none who will keep a secret lon ger than the friendship or partnership. Finally, tired of eternal squabbling and dlsaemfort, tired of being imposed upon in the name of friendship, the woman takes quarters all by herself, and for halt the money and bother she gets comparative luxury. Then what happens? Each afternoon when she comes home the blighting demon of loneliness descends upon her. rom each unlighted chandelier and from the darkness of the fireplace 'She can see it I peeping. In tha morning It grins at her (rom eaeh empty corner of the room, until In the end it gets on her nerves, and she can stand it no longer. Then the Inevitable happens. She marries, not because she loves the man, not be cause she wants a home for if she is a clever woman she can provide that for herself but because she .wants some ne around. In the case ef the ordinary Woman I suppose It is well enough for her to marry in that way, for the or 4inary woman half the time marries for a more trivial reason than love; but in the case of a woman of the tean perament of. let us say, the budding artist, actress or singer an early mar riage contracted in the days of loneli ness is almost sure to be a tremendous and awful mistake, and yet it is a mis take which we see happening every day. To Change the Subject. The more I study the subject of dress the more I am struck by the fact that there are two distinct ways of dressing one a fussy one, requiring chiffon veils, tulle rosettes, pearl chains and a thousand little frills and furbelows which are detachable, and the, other comprising a few castumes, well made according to the standard styles, with out any other accessories than a hat to match each costume. Even the shirt waists of such a wardrobe are severely plain, no thin material and no inser tions, but stitched plaits and a severely tailor made stock fastened with a dull gold pin. It takes twice as much money- to dres in the first way, the frilly way, and even then one does not always look fresh and immaculate. Give me the plain, neat style, be it in a dressy gown or a tailor made. It even lends dis tinction to a plebeian face and a none too distinguished manner. This very thing is the trouble with the average girl who has a small in come she attempts more than sue can carry out and thinks a lot of finery put on tackily worth more than a simple gown and hat which match in color. Take my advice, leave what my Eng lish friend calls the "bobby diddles alone and invest your money in a few good things. Felt Hate Still rtpilar. From what I notice the felt hat with the upturned brim is going to be as popular as ever this fall. This makes very good hat to begin on, at any rate during that trying season when it is too early for a dressy velvet and too late for a shabby straw. There is ne doubt that a waist is a great saving, and yet no waist is smart unless it matches the skirt with which it is worn, we are told. I find that the most useful of all. as well as the most artistic, is the black crepe de chine blouse handsomely made and wornwith a black cloth skirt which trails becom ingly. Surmount this with an all white i r ViA f I VIA t f I 1 U is fit. or an all red hat and you have a smart costume which will stand a good deal of wear and tear. I don't know what short people are going to do this winter, but I am sure of one thing, and that is we are going to have long tails to the coats. This may be healthful, because it does pro tect from the cold, and the short Etons certainly didn't, but it is by no means the most becoming style' in the fmp ftib v v it v 4 xh i TAN ETAMINE SUIT TRIMMED WITH CLUNT LACE, SILK CORDS AND TASSELS. world to a short person. I can just see her ordering higher heels put on her shoes to equalize the wide hats and the sawed off appearance the coattails give her. But fashion is relentless. Hickory Loes and Matrimony. Did you know the average man liked rtie soft light of lamps? Tes. of course. Well did you ever hear about the wom an who married a man through burning hickory logs? It is true, though. She wasn't so young as she might have been, and he was somewliat her junior. but she caught him all the same and simolv in this wise: She always man aged to receive him at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, be fore the lamps were lit and when only the open fire blazed on the hearth, a fire fed with hickory boughs, whose fragrant spiciness filled the room with a faint, disqui eting whiff of the forest, while the mellow light transformed the rather world worn woman in to a thing of beauty. One day he lost his head and proposed, and so they were married and probably live happy still that is, if she keeps on burning hickory boughs. ESS i? A woman's strajagem Hi T New Tork. THE COUNTESS WALDERSEE. The Last of Nina's Lovers. "You won't find her that way." Sheldon stopped short on the path to the cottage, and .looked back. There was an old half-sunk pier at Dexter'a Landing. One side sloped almost to the water, but the other was high and safe on its picturesque piling, stained green by the lapping river. A figure in pink was perched at the far end of the pier. Nina never wore pink. jShe said it was ordinary. Nina'B gowns were all in pastel tints. Also, the figure wore a large sunbonnet. Nina said that sunbonnets -were ordinary, too, and topped her own pretty blond curls with an airy creation in chiffon and tea-roses. Therefore, taking these point into consideration, Sheldon waved hi cap in comrade fashion at the figure, and started for the pier. 'Don't whistle rag-time," saia saiiy. severely, when he was beside her. "It fidgets the fish." I don t see any fish," he returned, mildly. There are lots and lots, ir you Keep looking steadily at the water you can see them. I just saw a great big perch come along, and he chewed my bait right off, and sailed away with it. Fish are the meanest, smartest things you ever saw. Want to fish?" "Not today, thanks, Sally." "Oh. I forgot. You want to find Nina. If you go down past the boathouse, up the board walk to the hotel, then over to the beach "It's too warm to travel," saia bnei- rlon. "I'll fish. Lend me your .pole."

Of course you don't notice it but everyone else does. Ana I'm awfully sorry for you about Nina, vnii know." The white sunbonnet noa- ded at him sympathetically. "You really haven't the ghost of a chance. You know hlarry Jtiarton, ana waiiace Stevana and old Mr. Dean? They all had it. too. WTallace had it worse. He wanted to jump off the lighthouse pier until I told him that Harry and Mr. Dean had chosen the same place, and he changed his mind. They all tell me about it, you know, because I'm her sister. I can tell when one s in love with her before she can. First they give me candy and loan me their 'frat pins, and say I'm a bully chum. Then after a while they say they wish they had a sister like me. Then they -want me to tell them all about Nina ever since I can remember, and I fill them UB." "Fill them up?"

THE CARE OF THE FEET. The feet need quite as much care as I the hands, and at this season of the year this fact should be carefully re membered. If you would keep your feet in healthy condition wash them thoroughly every day. In cases where there is any tend ency to excessive perspiration twice a day is not too often. L'se warm or tepid water and a good soap and be careful to dry the feet thoroughly aft erward, for dampness between the toes leads to soft corns. In hot weather the feet have a tend ency to swelling, and therefore for summer wear it is wise to have shoes a half size larger than those usually worn. People who suffer from hot, dry and very sensitive feet will find it beneficial to bathe them night and morning with tepid water in which sea salt has been dissolved. If there be any sore ness the application of a little good cold cream at night is -to be recommended. Countess Waldersee is a woman who has had an exciting career. Her maid en name was Esther Lee, and her fa ther was a wealthy New York mer chant. When she was very young sh met in Paris Prince Frederick of Sles- wick-Holstein, who fell in love with her and, renouncing his royal rank foi that of Prince von Noer, married her. Two years afterward he died, and it was as a beautiful and wealthy young widow that she made her mark in Paris society. In Berlin she was little known till she married Count Waldersee, when she at once became a personage of im portance, for she threw herself heart and soul into philanthropic work and strained every nerve to better the lot ol the working classes. A strong friendship sprang up be tween her and the present kaiserin, then Princess William, to whom hei first husband was nearly related. Th friendship with the wife soon extended to a friendship with the husband, ana Countess Waldersee is said to be th one woman whose judgment the kaisei ever appealed to or whose advice he accepted. The countess is very clever Ma deal headed and an excellent conversation alist. In the troublous days when th Emperor Frederick lay dying, and ill the still more troublous days that fol lowed, William II. spent hours togethei at Count Waldersee's house discussing politics with the countess. The lat Prince Bismarck hated her, as he hated all clever women who interested them selves in politics, and he had reason, for without her influence the imperial labor programme might never havi been heard of and he might have re tained his position as imperial chan cellor.

The Bacteria Lamp. When we were boys we used to plan how we would scare some other fellow half out of his wits with "fox fire" ,rom a rotting stump. In the dark he'd think it a spook h.d come to get him. Just the other day I read how a miner's lamp had been invented that was en tirely safe even in the midst of inflam mable gases, because its cold shine came, not from combustion, but from luminiferous bacteria feeding upon a culture similar to decaying wood. So, with inveterate and unconquerable op timism, .we may well believe the wit of man will turn these servitors of death into lamps to light the path of prog ress Whether we look outward to the farthest reaches of the universe or in ward to where the miscroscope falters and turns back, we find tremendous forces working.

Mrs. Flatleigh "X see you still have the same cook.". Mrs., Urbanite Yes indeed. We have- been with her nearly six months now." Chicago Daily Isews. they tell me how they would like to die. It's awfully interesting. Will you take to the pier when Nina lets you fall over?" "I'm not in danger of taking a tum ble, thank you, sister Sally." "Oh, don't be morose and grumpy. It's a sura sign you're worried. And it's nothing at all to be ashamed of. Nearly every one falls in love with Nina. It's part of their vacation, Wallace says. And she doesn't mind, only she says she does wish they'd all propose by moon light, as it's more effective and inter esting." "Did any one ever propose to you, Sally?" "Oh, my, yes. And it was lovely. Last year no, two years ago I was eleven, going on twelve, and the Seventy-second regiment came down here to camp. And there was a bugler boy. He was going on 15. He wasn't very pretty, but you know how they look all dressed up cute. and he could blow the bugle so It said 'Sally.' And he used to write me notes, and hide them in trees, and after supper we'd sit on the porch and talk and talk just the way Nina does. And the night before he went away he pro posed." "What did he say?" Sally hesitated, and her eyes were ten der. "Don't you laugh, and tell Nina?' "Never. "Cross your heart, hope to die, if ever you tell you'll lose your eye," chanted Sally. Which eye?' "You're laughing now. I don't care. He was a lovely boy. And he said 'Sally, let's run away, and never come back any more.' And I said. 'No; I am sorry to hurt your feelings, but I never will forget you or the honor you ha.ve done me as long as I live.' That's what Nina always says. And then I let him kiss me; and he wanted a lock of my hair, so I cut off a piece of Nina's long curl that she tacks on the back of her head when there's a hop. It wasn't just the color of my hair, but he didn t know and that's what Nina does when they all beg locks of her hair. "Why, she wouldn't have any hair left at all, you know. And then I let him kiss me a few times more just to let him know I was really and truly sorry, and he went away. You've got a bite!" Sheldon did not notice the bobbing cork. He was staring at a white sail that dipped blithely to the breeze at the north end of the island. "Isn't that Creston's yacht?" "The White Ladye? Yes, that's his." She looked at it attentively, and sighed. "It's just as well you didn t hunt Nina, because she's out there. Creston's splen did. He's got money, too; but that isn't it. I know Nina s in love with him, and it will all be fixed when they come back.' I'd never let anybody propose to me on a yacht. -Just get nicely started, and have the sail flap at j-ou, or something. And no one can Van die a yacht when there's proposing, can they? Isn't she going a little topply now?" Sheldon said something beneatn nis breath, and turned back to the contem plation of the cork.

Creston shook his head, and as he raised his cap to her Sally saw that his face wore the same look that naa neen on Barton's and the rest when Nina had finished with them; but the hand that held the white duck skirt from contact with the wet sides of the pier wore a single diamond ring, and Sally oonSered. "I am going back to the clubhouse." said Creston. "We sail south tomorrow." When he had gone Sally looked anxious ly at Nina. She was smiling dreamily at the retreating yacht.
