Ii ann a Meets With President and the Cabinet To Talk Over the Panama Canal Situation. Colombia Can Get No Ilelp from Germany. MOVEMENT OF TROOPS If Attempted by Sea Will Be Prevented by U. S. Warships Will Be Ordered to Any Port, Promptly. Washington, Nov. 10. An important conference concerning the Panama situation was held at the White House today just prior to the formal meeting of the cabinet. The participants in the conference were President Roosevelt, Senator Hanna and members of the cabinet. The decision reached, if any, was not disclosed. It is understood, however that their decision was pure ly informal and not intended in any manner to be decisive. Shortly before the meeting of the cabinet Senator Hanna arrived at the executive offices, accompanied by W. J. Curtis, a member of the law firm of New York attorneys in this country for the Panama Canal company. They were admitted to the president's office at oace. Mr. Curtis remained only a, few min utes. He said he merely paid his re spects to the president. Senator Hanna remained with the president for more than a half hour. Long after the members of the cabinet had assembled he and the oresident continued to talk, several of the cabinet officers loining In the conversation. As Senator Hanna left he said that he and the president, had not discussed the chair manship of the Republican national committee. "In fact." said he, "that matter was not mentioned today. It's a dead is sue anvhow. "We talked of a variety of tODics," continued the senator, "among them the Panama situation. That is not a political Question not even a technical one. The people of thi country want an isthmian canal built, and they want it built by the Panama route They have accepted the Panama route and they propose to stand by the president in the matter of constructing the canal by that route." Senator Hanna was asked whether in his opinion it would be necessary to en act new legislation to provide for nego tiations butween the United States and the republic of Panama for the con struction of that canal. He replied that was a question for a lawyer to answer." He felt that a new treaty would be nec essary of course, but did not think seri ous difficulty would be encountered in negotiating a canal treaty with Pana- II let. n The navy department is advised that Rear Admiral Glass, commanding the Pacific station, arrived at Panama this morning with the cruiser Marblehead, and gunboat Concord having made a quick run from Acapulco. Their consort "..uu, rjuniig was not aDie to keep up with the two vessels and pro bably will not reach Panama before Thursday. By virtue of his rank Admiral Glass will have supreme command over the naval forces in the vicinity of Panama. With tile exception of a brief cable gram from Admiral Glass announcing his arrival at Panama, no cablegrams were received over night by the state and navy departments and it is presum ed that the statu quo is being main tained. There is no expectation here of a hostile clash on the isthmus in the immediate future, for it is believed that the Colombia government when fully advised of what has happened will ac cept the inevitable and not attempt ro eend troops to attack Panama in the face of the United States naval vessels guarding the approaches. The naval of ficials say they know nothing of the movements of Massachusetts and other smaller vessels which are said to be voyaging up and down the isthmus bo they are doubtless acting solely under the orders of Captain Delano, the senior officer of the fleet simply to acquire in formation as to conditions. The state department was notified to day that the Colombian government hai established a censorship over cable grams destined for the interior of Col ombia reaching Buena Ventura. This practically cuts off free communication between Bogota, the capital of Colombia and the outside world. It may delay communication with United States Min ister Beaupre, but the United States government will not submit to any sup pression of its dispatches so long as the telegraph route is oiien at all NO HELP FROM GERMANY Berlin, Nov. 10. The Colombian com mission, if it comes here, will receive no consideration from the German gov ernment. The correspondent of the Assnriatprt Press today called the foreign office's attention to the statement made yes terday Dy Artuo De Brigard. the Co lombian consul general n New York, that the Colombians were clamoring for a German protectorate over their coun try and that the Colombian government had been asked to send a commission to Germany to offer Emperor William cer tain pieces of land on both seas in re turn for Germany's protection. The re ply was: "We have heard nothing on the sub ject, but if a commission comes with such a proposition it would not be en tertained for one moment. We have no intention of mixing ourselves in the af fairs of the Isthmian states. We are still without any communication from our consular representatives in regard to the revolution or asking protection, hence we have omitted to ask the United States to look after German in terests. The statements regarding our commercial interests in Colombia and Panama have been much exaggerated, but we hope to see our trade there pros per better after the United States builds the canal." MAINE UNDER RUSH ORDERS. Newport News, Nov. 10. Under rush orders to proceed to Colon, the United States battleship Maine steamed out of the harbor yesterday afternoon. Sup- plies were hurried aboard and the bat tleship dropped down to Old Point Com fort, from which anchorage she had or ders to sail at 4 o'clock. MUST NOT EMBARK TROOPS. Washington, Nov. 10. Embarking of Colombian troops from Buena "Ventura or any other Colombian port for the Isthumus will not be permitted by the Washington government and American warships will be ordered to any port upon receipt of an intimation that Co lombian troops will attempt to sail for the Isthmus. The Washington govern ment holds that this policy is in the interest of the general good. RECOGNIZED BT FRANCE. Paris, Nov. 10. The French govern ment has recognized the de facto gov ernment of the republic of Panama. The instructions forwarded by For eign Minister Delcasse to the French consul at Panama authorize him to have relations with the new govern ment. The instructions are substan tially the same as those sent from Washington to the United States con sul at Panama, and will have the effect of giving the same recognition of the new regime as the United States has already given. A formal recogni tion will follow later when the new government is fully organized, but the instructions of the consul definitely establish the attitude of France towards the new republic. The action of M. Delcasse is not yet publicly known. FOR $25,000 DAMAGES. A Kansas City, Kas., Man Sues His Father-in-Law. Kanis City, 'Kan., Nov. 10. Henry Arends, a shoe dealer of this city has brought a suit in the court of common pleas for $25,000 damages against his father-in-law, Henry Horstman, for the alienation of the affections of Mrs. Arends, who was formerly Miss Lydia Horstman. The Arendses were married eight years ago and have one child. Florence, about five years of age. About two weeks ago Mrs. Arends sued her husband for divorce. Horstman is a considerable owner of real estate and is rated as wealthy. After Arends and Miss Horstman were married they lived' for several months at ttie home of her father before going to a house of their own. Arends' petition al leges that soon after his marriage Horstman formed a dislike for him and systematically began trying to prejudice his daughter against the husband. It is alleged that on several occasions he threatened to disinherit her if she did not abandon Arends, and told her false stories regarding the husband's conduct towards other women. Arends' wife did not leave him, how ever, until last May when, the petition says, she was induced by Horstman to go to the latter's home, where she re mained two weeks. Her father, it is said, did all in his power to prevent the husband from seeing fhe wife, and to keep her from returning to her home. It is set forth that at a later date the father persuaded Mrs. Arends to leave her home again after locking the doors to keep her husband from entering. Hortsman then hired a transfer wagon and removed all the furniture from the house. He then persuaded Mrs. Arends, the husband asserts, to bring the divorce suit, employed her attorney, and fur nished her bond. In the suit Arends was restrained from trying to see his wife. Arends says that there are no grounds for the divorce and that Horstman is trying to break up his home and destroy his happiness. He says that Horstman told Mrs. Arends that her husband had threatened to kill him with a revolver and denounces the story as false. Arends is represented by L. W. Keplinger and C. W. irickett. Hostman's attorney is J. W. Jenkins. CHOKED BY POLICEMAN. A. Samuel Now Asks Council to Investigate. A. Samuel, clothing man, and A. Hen derson, policeman, had a choking match at the police station the other day over a bill for $4.50 which Mr. Samuel was try ing to "persuade" Mr. Henderson to pay, but it was hushed up by the police. To day M.r. Samuel filed charges against Henderson and wants the city council to "investigate" him. It is quite a lengthy legal document which Mr. Samuel brought to the city clerk's office. It sets forth that on May 30 a colored woman presented to Mr. Sam uel an order for merchandise signed by Abe Henderson, the well known police officer. She carried away $4.50 worth of Mr. Samuel's stock, and since then Mr. Samuel has been trying to collect. On the morning of November b he called at the police station and found Mr. Hender son at home. He presented "his bill, and then, according to his story, Henderson jumped onto him, called him names, swore at him and choked him until the jailer cam to the rescue. Samuel says he is remediless at law; that he called on the county attorney and the county attorney would not issue him a complaint for assault because Hender son had been there first and fixed it up. What Samuel wants is that the council should "inquire into" Henderson's con duct on the morning of November 6. A VICIOUS BOBBER. Shoots a Farmer Because He Had Only $25 to Give Him. Lebanon, Kan., Nov. 10. John Aushutz, a prominent farmer arid long time resident of Logan township, was "held up" and robbed of $25 and then shot in the abdomen because he appar ently had no more. This happened 8 miles north of Lebanon at 7 o'clock last night. Mr. Anshutz is in a critical con dition. No clue. THE COFFELT CASE. A Jury Secured and Evidence Is Be ing Introduced. Winfleld, Kan.. Nov. 10. The jury was secured in the Coffelt case last evening and a hearing of the testimony begun. The statement of County Attorney Tor rence did not differ materially from that made at former trials except that the state expects to prove that Coffelt told Frank Potts all about the killing and such testimony will be Introduced in the trial of the case. He Left $25,000 in Cash. Des Moines, la., Nov. 10.-J. Walken heimer, an aged bachelor living in a hovel in Sevastopol, a suburb of thi3 city, was found dead in his bed today. Walkenheimer was supposed to be a pauper, but when his place was search ed a will was found leaving $25,000 in cash to relatives in St. Louis. WHO G0TJ5ASH. Sid. Blakeman Mystery Is Be coming Interesting. v Now Appears That Money WTas 'Paid to Some One. VOUCHERS MISSING. They Have Been Stolen From Auditor's Office. Strange Firasures .Appear on the Warrant ltegister. Here is a Mystery. Or rather a series of Mysteries. Sid Blakeman drew pay from the state as an employe of the legislature during the, first, thirty days of the last session, and then he seems to have been pried loose from the pay roll. This is the first mystery. Mr. Blakeman is the patriot concern ing whom a dispute has arisen as to his services to the state as a private in Company B, Third regiment, assistant sergeant-at-arms to the late house of representatives. The dispute has arisen from a state ment made by Representative Brandon of Butler, to the effect that Blakeman's name was placed on the pay roll by the Machine and he was paid out of the state treasury in order to build up the machine. Speaker Pringle has been charged with swearing in Mr.. Blakeman when Mr. Blakeman was not in Topeka at all, which charge Speaker Pringle denies. The warrant register in the state auditor's office shows that a warrant for Blakeman was made out on Febru ary 2 for $60. He did not get on the pay roll in time for the first payment, so on the date of the second payment he drew pay for twenty days, or from the beginning of the session. On February 11 another warrant was made out fn Blakeman's name for $30 for ten days' services. After that there were two more pay days, but Blake man's name appears no more on the warrant register. But there are no vouchers for Blake man, sworn to hy him, on file.. The vouchers are made out by the chief clerk of the house and furnished to the respective employes, who swear to them. The vouchers are generally taken in a bunch, arranged alphabetically, and the warrants are placed on the warrant reg ister in alphabetical order. Blakeman's name appears in its regular order among the B's, which indicates that his voucher came down with those of the other house employes, but they cannot now be. found among them. The office force in the auditor's office believe they have been solen. but for what purpose j they do not know. This is another mys- j tery. Every person who receives a warrant in the auditor's office is required to re- eeipt for it by signing his or he name in the warrant register. In boxh in stances, in the case of Blakeman's war rants, a name has been erased in the re ceipt column and Blakeman's name written over it. Whose name was origi-. nally written there, and why the eras ure? This is still another mystery. Blakeman was an appointee of Repre sentative Brandon. It is asserted that Brandon and "Bun" Adams, the other Butler -county representative, had an agreement that they should eventually get together on United States senator. Brandon was for Curtis and he agreed if Curtis withdrew he would go to Stan ley. Adams was for Stanley, an he agreed if Stanley withdrew he would go to Curtis so Brandon alleges. Stanley withdrew but Adams went to Long in stead of to Curtis. Now Adams was a member of the house steering committee which consisted of two memDers irom each congressional djf trict. Adams was secretary of the committee. To pacify Brandon, Adams asked him if he did not have some constituent that he wanted to appoint to some job in the house. Brandon replied in the affirmative and named Blakeman, who had been an un successful candidate for sheriff in But ler county. Adams had Blakeman named as an assistant sergeant-at-arms. From this point on there is a dis crenancv in the different statements. Pringle says that Brandon came to him "and said Blakeman wanted his voucher dated back, to which Pringle objected. Pringle was in Topeka a few davs ago, since the controversy has arisen, and asked if Blakeman had ever drawn any money. The clerks in the auditor's office hunted through the bunch of vouchers of em ploys of the last house, and finding none, told Mr. Pringle that Blakeman had never drawn any money, but this was erroneous, because it seems tne vouchers have been stolen. "T am sorry we did not discover tne facts sooner," said Assistant Auditor Nation today, "because we have evi dently led Mr. Pringle into making a wrong statement. The vouchers were evidently taken at least, a week ago. but wo did not discover that there had been warrants there and that tney had been stolen until Blakeman's name was found on the warrant register just a short time ago. The vouchers must have been here, because a warrant is never issued until a voucher is on file, sworn to and approved." The canceled warrants themselves show that they were both cashed at the state treasury on February 14. The signature on the back of the war rants is the same as that which now appears in the warrant register. QUEEN LIL RETURNS. Will Again Tackle Congress for $200,000. San Francisco, Nov. 10. Ex-Queen Liliuokalani has arrived from Honolulu. She is to stay in this city but a few days before going toWashington to prosecute her claims against the government. A recent senate committee reported favor ably on a bill to award the ex-queen $200,000 damage on account of the loss of her crown lands. Congress has failed to act favorably upon the measure but Liliuokalani expresses the hope that she will be successful at the extra session. Temperatures of Largs Cities.

Nov. lO.--A deal has been closed whereby the Standard Oil company purchases of D. Busenberg 160 acres of land on the east, for $10,400. This gives the Standard a tank farm of 320 acres. Already the Argo farm, bought some time ago, is covered with 30,000 barrel oil tank locations and with the rapidly increasing oil production it will not be long until this additional 160 acres will also be covered. At present twelve large tanks have been completed and 25 more locations have been made. It is estimated that the Busenberg farm will accommodate about 30 large tanks. The Standard will have a storage ca naeitv here for nearly two million bar rels of oil when both farms are covered. with tanks as now planned. S. H. Renfro sold his 120 acre farm north of town to Mrs. Busenberg, just after the sale of the Busenberg farm to the Standard Oil company. Mr. Renfro received $7,200 in cash. AFTER ROCK ISLAND.

THE MESSAGE, President Roosevelt Submits Communication to Congress. It Deals Exclusively With Cuban Reciprocity. DUTf AND GOOD POLICY Roth Combine to Make Favor able Action Desirable. Must Not Permit Europe to Capture Trade of Island. Reeder Chairman of Corn niittta on Mileage. Washington, Nov. 10. At the opening of the sessions of the house and sen ate this morning the president's mess age was submitted as follows: To the Senate and House of Repre sentatives: I have convened the congress that it may consider the legislation necessary to put into operation the commercial treaty with Cuba, which was ratified by the senate at its last session and subsequently by -the Cuban government I deem such legislation demanded not only by our interest but by our honor". We cannot with propriety abandon the course upon which we have so wisely embarked. When the acceptance of the Piatt amendment was required from Cuba TSy the .action, of congress of the united btates, this government thereby definitely committed itself to tne policy or treating Cuba as occupy ing a unique position as regards this country. It was provided that when the isiana Decame a free and independent republic she should stand in such close relations with us as in certain respects to come within our system of interna tional policy; and it necessarily follow ed tnac she -must also to a certain de gree become included within the lines of our economic policy. Situated as Cuba is it would not be possible for this country to permit the strategetic use or the island by any foreign null tary power. It is for this reason that certain limitations have been imposed upon her financial policy and that naval stations have been conceded by her to the United States. The negotiations as to the details of these naval stations are on the eve of completion. They are so situated as to prevent any idea that there is the intention ever to use them against Cuba, or otherwise than for the protection of Cuba, from the assaults of foreign foes, and for the better safe guarding of American interests in the waters south of us. These interests have been largely in creased by the consequences of the war with Spain, and will be still further in creased, by the building of. the Isthmian canal, They r are both military and economic The granting to us by Cuba of the naval stations above alluded to is of the utmost, importance from a military standpoint and is proof of the good faith with which Cuba is treating us. Cuba has made great progress since her independence was established. She has advanced steadily in every way. She already stands" high among her sister republics of the new world. She is loyally observing her obligations to us; and she is entitled to like treat ment by us. The treaty submitted to you for ap proval secures to the United States economic advantages as great as these given to Cuba. Not an American in terest is sacrificed by the treaty, a large Cuban market is secured to our pro ducers. It is a market which lies at our doors which is already large, which is capable of great expansion and which is especially important to th development of our export trade. It would be indeed short sighted for us to refuse to take advantage of such op portunity and to force Cuba into mak ing arrangements with other countries to our disadvantage. This reciprocity treaty stands by itself. It is demanded on consideration of broad national policy as well as by our economic interest. It will do harm to no industry. It will benefit many in dustries. It is in the interest of our people as a whole both because of its importance from the broad standpoint of international policy and because economically it intimately concerns us to develop and secure the rich Cuban market for our farmers, artisans, mer chants and manufacturers. Finally it is desirable as a guaranty of the good faith of our nation towards her young sister republic to the south, whose wel fare must be closely bound with our3. We gave her liberty. We are knit to her by the memories of the blood and the courage of our soldiers, who fought for her in war: by the memories of the wisdom and integrity of our adminis trators who saved her in peace and who started her so well in the difficult path of self government. We must help her onward and upward; and in helping her we shall help ourselves. The foregoing considerations caused the negotiation of the treaty with Cuba and its ratification by the senate. They now with equal force support the legis lation by the congress, which by the terms of the treaty is necessary to ren der it operative. A failure to enact suel legislation would come perilously near a repudiation of the pledged faith of the nation. I transmit herewith the treaty as amended by the senate and ratified by the Cuban government. THEODORE ROOSEVELT. White House. November 10, 1903. IN THE SENATE. Washington, Nov. 10. Today's session of the senate was devoted exclusively to the reading of the president's message in support of reciprocity with Cuba and to the routine incident to the receipt of the message. The attendance of senators was exceptionally large and many ap peared with large rolls of freshly pre pared bills. The message received the. careful at tention of the senators and when its reading had been concluded Mr. Cullom (111 was recoimzed to move the refer ence to the committee on foreign rela tions of the message and the Cuban treaty.the text of which had been trans mitted with the message. This motion prevailed, and it had no sooner been disposed of than upon mo tion of Mr. Allison (la.) the senate ad journed. IN THE HOUSE. Washington. Nov. 10.

Miss May Goelet Trades Her Millions tyr a Title.

New York, Nov. 10. The marriage of Miss May Goelet, only daughter of Mra Ogden Goelet and one of the richest of American heiresses to Henry John Innes-Ker, eighth duke of Roxburghe, "was solemnized today at St. Thomas church in this city.Bishop William Cros well Doane, of Albany, assisted by the Rev. Ernest M. Stirs of St. Thomas church, performing the ceremony. A company of 250 guests, a small number for an international marriage of such importance, witnessed the ceremony, but masses of palms, shrubs and flowers banked the church so effectively that the great nave seemed far from empty. In the chancel itself, whera the cere mony took place, palms.Japanese chrys anthemums and primroses were com bined in an artistic color scheme, with which the orchids on the pulpit and the lilies about the altar toned beautifully. Forming in the outer vestibule of the church, the bridal party proceeded down the aisle to the chancel steps, the bride on the arm of her brother, Robert Goe let, She was gowned in white satin, veiled with point Valenciennes lace and trimmed with wreaths of orange blos soms. Her veil was of tulle and she carried an old fa ,oned bouquet of lil ies of the valley. The maid of honor, Miss Beatrice Mills and the other bridesmaids. Lady Isabel Innes-Ker, Miss Martha Johns ton, Miss Alice Babcoek, Miss Marian Haven. Miss Theresa Iselin, Miss Nina Thayer of Boston and Miss Pauline Whittier, wore gowns of pink mou seline de soie. of the quaint' and effec tive Louis Seize period, combined with ecru lace, toques of pink velvet trim med with lace and sable, and carried, in place of bouquets, muffs of pink velvet and sable. The ushers. Hugo Baring. Howard Brassey, Robert Wharton Goelet, Roger Winthrop, Henry Bull and William Woodward, did not precede the bridal party as customary, but were seated before the bride entered. At the chancel steps the bride was met by the duke and his best man, the Hon. Reginald Ward, son of the late Earl of Dudley, and the betrothal service of the Protestant Episcopal church was read by Mr. Stirs. The party. then advanced to the altar rail, where the Episcopal marriage cere mony was said by Bishop Doane. Afterwards the duke and duchess went to the home of Mrs. Osrden Goelet. on Fifth avenue, where an in formal receDtion to which only a part of the wedding guests were bidden, was held. It had been intended to make the wedding a more brilliant function, but the death of Sir Michael Herbert, uncle of the bride, caused the change in plans. JOHNSTON OR LOOMIS. Washington Thinks Other Can didates Are Out of Race. Washington, Nov. 10. It is becoming a settled conviction here that either Loom is or Johnston will be appointed judge. It is believed that the other candidates are practically out of the running. Looimis is the most active candidate on the ground. Johnston's absence from Washington is commented favorably upon by many here who- be lieve it is Deneath the dignity of a su preme court judge to participate active ly in a scramble for office. James A. Troutman of Topeka arrived last night. On the same train with him came Justice Pollock whom he is bitterly opposing. His antagonism grows out of Pollock's dissenting opin ion in De Boissiere case. Eugene F.Ware is also righting Pollock, owing to Pol lock's attitude in the Johnston ease from Doniphan county when the firm of Gleed, ware Gleed were disallowed certain claims and accounts. Congress man Bowersock talked to the president about judgeship today. The president reiterated his statement that he would appoint whomever the delegation agreed upon but if it did not agree upon some body soon he might liave to make the appointment upon his jwn judgment. WILL OUST MORGAN, Alabama Senator to Go Canal Committee. Off Washington, Nov. 10. The, caucus of Republican senators today "authorized Senator Allison, the chairman, to ap point a committee to reorganize the senate committees. A resolution de claring that the committee on inter oceanic canals should be a majority committee with a Republican as chair man, was not adopted, but the whole matter was left with the committees with the understanding that such action should be taken. This will displace Senator Morgan as chairman of the committee. REEDER LOSES IT. Chairman of Irrigation Commit tee Goes to Montana. Washington, Nov. 10. Speaker Can non today reappointed Congressman Reeder of Kansas chairman of the mile age committee. This disposes of his aspirations to be chairman of the irri gation committee, and ne is mucn dis appointed. Mendell of Montana will get the irrigation chairmanship. Congressman Bowersock introduced to the president today Judge Moore of Kansas City. Kan., a Loom is adherent also his owa son Fred, who is here from Chicago. -Captain IT. S. M. C. Alexander of Mc pherson is here. He wants to be judge advocate in the army. KILLED ATTABLE. Tragic Death of William Smale, ..Harveyrille Farmer. Assassin Fired Through the Kitchen Window. USED A SHOT GUN. Weapon Was Loaded With Goose Shot. Cut Telephone Wires Before He Committed Deed. Blood Hounds Put on the This Morning. frail W'illiam Smale, a farmer living five miles north of Harveyville, was mur dered last night at 8:15 by an unknown person. The murder was cold-blooded, and fully premeditated. Mr. Smale was sitting in his kitchen with his family; around him when (the assassin sneaked up to a window and shot him in tha back of the head. At the discharge ofi the gun Mr. Smale fell forward, and! died in a few minutes. The shot waa fired from a shotgun at short range, tearing out a pane of glass in the win- dow. Twenty-six goose shot struck Mr, Smale in the back cf the head and neck. The murderer evidently held the gun close to the window to make sure of killing his victim. After the shooting the family, consisting of Mrs. Smale and five children, tried to revive the dylngj man, but he was unable to speak, and died in a few minutes. Members of tha family hurried over to the home of Mr. William Pringle, just across- the road, from the Smale home, and Mr. Pringle attempted to telephone to Harveyvilia for .a physician. The phone failed to work, and he at once sent a messenge on horseback to the town, who telephone ed the news to Sheriff Fred Freye at, Alma. The sheriff chanced to be in To peka on business, and his deputy at nce notified him, giving what particu lars he could get. Freye attempted to call up Mr. Pringle at Harveyville, but could not get a response. The cause ofi the failure of Mr. Pringle's telephone to work was discovered at daylight this morning, when it was ascertained that the wires leading to the Harveyvilia central had been cut, presumably by tha assassin, who took that precaution against capture. Before leaving Topeka. last night Sneriff Freye sent to Maniiat tan for two bloodhounds and their keep er. He told him to come to Topeka on an early moroinsr train, and so to Bur Iingame, the nearest point on the Santa Fe main line, on. the fast mail, later he discovered that the fast mail, tha only train with which they could connect would not stop at Burlingame under any circumstances, so the order waa changed, and the dogs were brought to Maple Hill, on the .Rock Island, and then taken a 20 mile drive across a very rough country to the scene of the trag edy. The posse and bloodhounds arrived at Mr. Pringle s place at s:io mis morn ing, and after a feed and a few minutes! rest, were put on the trail. William. Smale. the murdered man. was a farmer in comfortable clrcum-" stances, who was not known to have any enemies. Sheriff Freye said last night that he was at loss about plac ing a suspicion. He Is well satisfied that the "motive was not robbery, aa the murderer made no attempt tai enter the house oc injure the rest of? tho famil-. The only suspicion in the minds oS any of the neighbors who know any thing about the family affairs of Mr. Smale points to a son-m-iaw. .Ka Thelf. Not long ago Mr. Smale s eld est daughter, who was a student at an Emporia school, married against the wishes of her parents, and later sepa rated from her husband at the instiga tion of her parents and came home. She was present at the time of hen father's death. At the cdroners inquest, which waa held at a late hour last night, it waa found that William Smale came to hia death as the result of a, gunshoti wound in the back of the head, said shot be ing fired by some person unknown. The son-in-law. Ed Thelf. who is un der some suspicion, lives on an adjoin ing farm, three-quarters of a mile south of the Smale home. At 9:30 this morning: the bloodhounds had been taken to the scene of the murder and were trying to pick up tha trail. It was feared that the trail had been ruined by being crossed so much by people who came to the house after the tragedy. BLOODHOUNDS FAILED. At 1 o'clock today it was reDorted from Harveyville that the sheriff's possa was still at work on the Smala murder case, but had accomplished nothing. The bloodhounds brought from Manhattan' seemed o be unabla to pick up the trail of the murderer. At that hour no arrests had beea mada. SHOULD MOVE TO UTAH Dickinson County Bigamist Had Wires a Plenty. Abilene, Kas., Nov. 10. Marshal Fa vors, of Abilene, has received a letter from Hubbell, Neb., informing him that D. L. Gordon, the bigamist in the Dickinson county jail, has another wife in Nebraska. A kodak picture was unclosed that is a perfect likeness of the man Sheriff Baker caught at Salina. The letter said if Gordon was the same as the one In the picture, he was "a bad one." and had to leave Hubbell In the night to save his life. There seems to be no limit to-th number ot wives Gordon has, as this is an entirely new one and there is plentv of time for the others to come forward before his case is called In the district court.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, TUESDAY EVENING. NOVEMBER 10, 1003L KAtlSASjIEWS. Many Apples Are la Cold Stor age at Wichita. Orer 30,000 Bushels Stored Away for Winter. FARMER KITS $11,500. Mas a Sixty Acre Tract Which Bore 2,300 Barrels. Fruit Mostly Jonathans,Grimes' Golden and Winesaps. Wichita, Kan., Nov. 10 There seems to be a settled belief among the apple growers and apple dealers of this city and vicinity that this fruit will bring a good price before spring, and with this idea in view a many apples have been placed in cold storage here until such time as the price ehall seem" to Justify their sale. There is little doubt that the belief of the applemen is well grounded, as the apple crop through out the entire middle west with the ex ception of a few localities, has been very short this year, amounting in most places to little more than one fourth of a croj. m 7 (u T .4 S ,m ,d section of the country are now stored So many of the apples grown in tms that wholesalers have found if neces sary to ship apples here. from- New York, Michigan and Colorado in order to supply he demand for this fruit in this city. These apples are selling at $1.60 per busheh With such prices the first ef November it would seem rea sonable to figure .on still higher prices later on. There are in cold storage in this city about 9,000 barrels and 4,000 bushels in bulk of the finest apples ever grown in the Arkansas valley and the men who own them are reasonably certain to get fancy prices for them. These apples are mainly Jonathans, Grimes' Golden, Ben Davis, Missouri Pippin and Winesap varieties, all of them popular and all of which are hand picked and well selected. Of these 9,000 barrels, Mr. Hoover owns 4,000 besides the 4,000 bushels in bulk. P. H. Thomas about 2,300, W. S. Grant Co. 700, Ross Bros. 800 and Wichita Wholesale Produce company 600. The rest are owned by several email orchardists- The barrels used this year are mostly of large size, holding three bushels each. This makes 31,000 bushels of apples stored here and if present prices arc; maintained they will bring their owners an aggregate of about $47,000. This would seem to indicate that ap ple growing pays. In fact, it is douht ful if there is anything that can be grown in Kansas that will pay as well as an apple orchard In the Arkansas valley. To illustrate: The P. H. Thomas orchard northwest of this city com prises 60 acres and the 2,300 barrels of apples raised this year at $4.50 per bar rel, which is a very moderate estimate, would bring $11,150, and yet six years ago the 80 acre tract on which the Thomas orchard is located could have been purchased -for $6,000. When Mr. Hoover planted his. splen did orchard several years ago all his neighbors laughed at htm for .doing so. Now there is not a man in southern Kansas who is making more from 160 acres of land than he. MARRIED IN A THEATER. Manager and Leading Lady Wedded at Minneapolis Minneapolis, Kas., Nov. 10.

Sumner County School Districts Are Defrauded. WelHng-ton, Kas., Nov. 10. This county has been raided again by chart men. Some time ago the county su perintendent wrote a circular, letter to all the districts to beware of a set of chart men that were around the coun-t-- sellir.- charts but not delivering th- same. Notwithstanding this advice, several of the districts have bought the charts and the vouchers are beine pre sented to the county for uarment. The districts are safe, as they have not taken ud the vouchers, but some Inno cent persons have been bit, as the chart men have theif money and gone, nobody knows where. Several of the districts are going to investigate the matter and see if they cannot get the charts they bargained for. at any rate, as the men have their money for the same. TAURUS CHARGED THEM. Party of Serenaders Scattered before His Horns. Hiawatha, Nov. 10. Wes Confer, a White Cloud young man, was helped out of a dilemma recently by King of the Range, a thoroughbred Jersey bull. The report was circulated that Confer had been married, and that "evening a big crowd of men an4 boys went to his house to "charivari" him. The din rais ed by the cow bells, circular saws, tin pans, etc., infuriated the bull, which was in a neighboring pasture, and it broke out and charged the crowd. Some f the Party ran. others climbed trees v;i t and several were scratched and torn by their efforts to get through wire fences. After the bull had beett. caught and penned uo it was discovered that Con fer was not married at ,all, and the "charivari" party returned home sadder but wiser. A Machinist Injured. Parsons, Nov. 10. Lee Green, a Mis souri, Kansas Texas machinist, lost his right had and forearm at the round house, Monday afternoon. An engine had been "jacked up" for repairs, and the "jack" gave way, letting it back down on the track. Lee Hughes was slightly injured. The strike of the ma chinists' helpers, inaugurated Saturday, seems to be on the wane. About half of the strikers went back to work, ac cording to the statement of Superin tendent O'Hern, and the shops were running Monday without much diffi culty. He Beat Up a Waitress. Wichita, Nov. 10. Marshal Peters, of Parsons, left for his home this after noon, taking with him Arthur Cole, col ored, wanted in that town since last June on a charge of assault with intent to kill. Cole was picked up here by the police on information furnished by the Parsons officers. He knocked a waitress down, the injuries resulting from 't keeping her in bed for several weeks and almost resultins in her death. KNIFE FOR ROOSEVELT Union Republicans May Try to Throw Delaware to Hanna. Dover. Del.. Nov. 10. Balked in their efforts to get the Regular Republicans to attend their harmony conference, the Union Republican leaders today made a bid for the support of the na tional Republican committee, by for warding to the leading ssirits of that body and to President Iloosevelt de tails of their offers for Republipan harmony. The Unions say they are exceedingly proud to present to the state and nation over the signature of Addicks. his announcement that no in dividual aspiration shall be allowed to stand in the way of Reoublican uni fication in Delaware, even his own "legitimate" ambition to be senator. It is whisaered around in Union Re publican circles that their state con vention may not onlj not declare in favor of President Roosevelt's renomi nation, but that in all probability it will ssk the delegates to vote for Na tional Chairman Hanna, who has al ways been liberal in his treatment of the Addicks faction. It was noticed that Addicks carefully avoided any mention of Roosevelt in his letter to his Delaware followers. Pastor Raps Rockefeller. Chicago, Nov. 10. "We must stop loving boys statistically," sand Rev. William Byron Forbush, president of the Central Alliance of Workers for Boys, before the "Congress of Boys" now in session. In illustration of this statement, made in developing the point that individual work was all important, Mr. Forbush proceeded to ridicule John D. Rockefeller's Sunday school. "Now, there is young Mr. Rockefel ler's Sunday school," said the speaker. "Over it hangs an atmosphere of big figures not unnatural. The scholars are encouraged to bring in new ones, and a ledger is kept in which each one's good deeds are recorded in businesslike fash ion. The entries read, 'John Jones, Cr. 3 scholars," 'William Smith, Cr. 1 scholars.' And thus are souls tabulated and listed like barrels of oil or blocks of preferred stock."

Athletic Board Say Ben der and Wilson Are Paid. Nebraska Denies Indignantly All of the Allegations. Say Kansas Has Haggled and Acted Suspiciously Slow. Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 10. A storm of protest was stirred ud at Nebraska uni versity by the newspaper dispatches from Lawrence announcing that Kansas university had entered a protest against the participation of two of Booth's Cornhuskers, Captain Bender and Wil son, in next Saturday's annual football struggle between the two universities. The members of the athletic board met for a brief consultation, after which Dr. Condra, chairman of the board, gave utterance to the following statement as representing Nebraska's position con cerning the protest. He said: "Nebraska intends to play Bender and Wilson against Kansas or there will be no game. The firlt intimation from Kansas concerning the players iri ques tion reached the board at Nebraska a week or ten days ago, and it has been supplemented by two or three other let ters to various members of the board. The complaint against the 'men wa&.tuat they had played professional baseball for a stipulated salary. The charges were investigated at the time, with the result that we became convinced that they were not well founded. Both play ers presented evidence that seemed- in controvertible that they had not received, any compensation, although there is no question that they have played baseball during the summer vacations for st-vcral years, as have most of the footb-Ul players on every college team in the country. "In justice to Bender and Wilson. I will state that they both have docu mentary evidence to substantiate their denial of having received any salary. The board, however, felt that the mat ter deserved serious consideration, uu accordingly notified both men that they were expected to appear before a formal meeting of the board, which will be held today, to disprove the charges made by Kansas. Having personally investigated the matter, I feel sure that they will be able to prove their case before the board. I think that the Kansas authorities made a grave mistake in permitting the fact that there had been a urotest becoming public matter, for an accu sation, even If disproven, almost inva riably carries a stigma that cannot, be overcome. If the part Kansag has played in the matter was not unsports manlike, it was at least gross dis courtesy, and in this I am confident that I am voicing the sentiments of every man of Nebraska's board. Iast spring the Nebraska baseball team was mobbed by a crowd of hoodlum stu dents at Kansas and for the offense the Kansas board tendered a written apology. The board at Nebraska was solicited by the newspapers to make public the apology, but we refused, and this is the way in which we are repaid. Kansas has shown question able spirit in all of the negotiations for the game. First they refused to consent to a transfer to Kansas City, when it meant a flattering profit to both managements. In this, I believe, they were largely prompted by a de sire to force Nebraska to lose money on the game, for Kansas has a Con tract calling for the game at Law rence, and which gives Nebraska only $300 as its share. Next. Kansas hag gled over the choice of officials, ob jecting persistently to almost every man that Nebraska proposed and at the same time contending for officials with which Nebraska had no acquaint ance as to their ability. .Unless Kan sas faces about in short order I feel confident that the board at Nebraska will call the same o&.",. Manager Buckner has wired Kansas authorities that Nebraska's guarantee of 300 must be in Lincoln by Thurs day night or the Cornhuskers would not leave for Lawrence under any con sidaration. AUSTRALIAN JIMMY RYAN. Thinks Pretty Well of George Gard ner's Chances Against litz. West Baden, Ind., Nov. 10. The West Baden Athletic club has completed nil arrangements for the ten-round fight which takes- place here November 14 be tween Jack Beauscholtie and Australian Jim Ryan with the exception of the referee, who will be decided on later. Ryan is getting himself in the best of condition, and exsects to enter the ring weighing about 1S5, and if successful with Beauscholte he Is ready to take on any of the light heavy weights. Ryan demonstrated that he still has that right-hand punch when he put a western heavy weight to sleep In the third round of their fight, which took place in Hidding, Minn., a few weeks ago. Beauseholtie will take a little light exercise to keep on edg-e. Before Gard ner's departure for the coast he put the gloves on with Ryan. They went fix lively rounds.

San Francisco, Nov. 10. Bob Fitz simmons is as much a wonder now as he was in the days when he fought Jack Dempsey 'at New jDrleans and easily floored the American middle wetsht. When he started training a few days ago at Alameda he scaled nearly 200 pounds. Now he has boiled .down to the neighborhood of 160 Dounds, and, in short, he will hit the middleweight limit unless hs lets up in his reducing road work. Nobody doubts now but what Bob can make 158 Bounds and be strong. He now shows as a legitimate middleweight, who has been giving away class and fighting heavy fellows for the championship of the world. Sports are divided on the question of Bob's ability to beat Gardner. One class argues the horseshoer has seen his best days and will fall early in the contest, while another declares he will take the lead in the fight and win easily in five or six rounds.

Nervous Prostration Faint Spells.' Dr. Miles Nervine Saved My Life. There is great aanger in a run down con 'dition. Overwork, mental strain, the cares and worries of business and the home, all have a deleterious effect upon the nerves, which in their devitalized condition readily fall prey to the attacks of disease. Aside from the danger there is no condition at tended by so many disagreeable symptoms; such as loss of appetite, indigestion or nerv ous dyspepsia, headache, tired feeling and loss of ambition together with the agony of sleepless nights spent in tossing restlessly about, only to rise exhausted in the morning. Dr. Miles' Nervine is a true nerve tonic which, by strengthening the nerves, restores health and appetite ana brings sweet sleep. "For six years I suffered almost constantly from a complication of troubles which culmi nated in complete nervous prostration. I bad no appetite, I could not sleep, I suffered from indigestion and nervousness. As is so often the case in nervous prostration I fre quently had weak, faintin? spells. Doctors did not help me. They said my blood was .very poor, and I know my face was always very pale. The very first bottle of Dr. Miles' Nervine I took gave me noticeable relief and I felt stronger than I had in years.

In every country of the civilized trorld Sisters of Charity are known. Not only do they minister to the spirit ual and intellectual needs of the charges committed to their care, but they also minister to their bodily needs. With so many children to take care of and to protect from climate and dis ease, these wise and prudent Sisters have found Peruna a never falling safe guard. Dr. Hartman receives many letters from Catholic Sisters from all over the "United States. A recommend recently received from a Catholic institution in Detroit, Mich., reads as follows: Dr. 5. B. Martt'ian, Columbus, Ohio: Dear Sir: -"The young girl who used the Peruna was suffering from laryngitis, and loss of voice. The re sult of the treatment was most satis factory. She found great relief, and after further use of the medicine we hope to be able to say she is entirely cured." sisters of Charity. The young girl was under the care of the Sisters of Charity and used Peruna for catarrh of the throat with good re sults as the above letter testifies.

Two per sons were killed and two wounded in a shooting affray at the entrance of the Wallace opera house last night. The shooting took place just as the theater-goers were leaving the theater following a nerformance by the James O'Neil company. THE DEAD. DR. W. F. SIMS, shot through the head. WILLIAM CUFF, miner, shot three THTC WOUNDED. Chief of Police McGovern, shot throusrh hand. Opera House Policeman Rose, shot In loa. The trouble arose over Cuff insist ing on smoking a ciar in the gallery. House Policeman Rose ordered him to stop, but he refused. The policeman took the cigar away from Cuff after a struggle. Cuff left the theater vow ing vengeance. He returned with a revolver and waited until the perform ance was over. Rose was the first man out of the opera house. As he stepped- outside Cuff began firing. The first shots missed and Rose re turned the tire. Dr. Sims, who was escorting a woman, followed Rose out. and as he di.l so a bullet, presumably from Cuff's revolver, struck him in the head, killing him instantly. Other po licemen annt'uied at this moment, and a general fusillade followed. The par,ic -stricken theater-goers scamp ered back into the foyer, men and wo men being trampled uoon in the rush to e-et away. Cult continued firing, wounding Chief of Police MeCJovern and Special Officer Rose. Cuff then started to escape, but was intercepted at a side exit by Policeman Ouinn, who kept up a running fire, three bul lets taking effect. Cuff fell uncon scious and died in l minutes. A num ber of people were injured in the stampede. Cuff was a miner and served in the Philippines with an Idaho regiment. Dr. Sims is a well known surgeon of Wallace, and leaves a family. Lawrence .Makes Protest. Lawrence, Kan.. Nov. 10. The ath letic authorities of the University of Kansas have protested Captain Bender and Wilson of the Nebraska team on the grounds of professionalism. Ne braska has been notified and so far has made no definite reply. The Kansas x i 1 A perfect beverage rich in nitrogenous elements. it The following- letter is from Con gressman Meekison of Napoleon, Ohio: The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, Ohio: Gentlemen: "I have used, sev eral bottles of Peruna and feel greatly benefit ed thereby from my catarrh of the head, and feel encouraged to believe that its continued use will fully eradicate a dis ease of thirty years' stand ing." Dr. Hartman, one of the best known physicians and surgeons .in the United States, was the first man to formulate Peruna. It was through his genius and perseverance that it was introduced to the medical profession of this country- If you do derive prompt and satisfac tory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad vice gratis. Address Dr. Hartman, President of The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, O. protest is based on the fact that Bender and Wilson played with the McCook, Neb., baseball team last summer and that this team was employed salaried men and was a member of a regular baseball league. Manager W. P. Bros3 of this team writes that Bender caught, and that Wilson played first base the greater part of last summer. A pitcher playing on the same team wrote that he received $60 per month for his ser vices. There is no doubt but that Wil son and Bender played on the team and it is believed they received compensa tion for their services, although the Kansas authorities have not said that they have proof that they were paid. Harvard Prospects Brighteo. Boston. Nov. 10. Harvard stock has taken an immense jump because of the victory in Philadelphia 'and some of the more enthusiastic supporters of the crim son are rash enough to say she will play Yale to a standstill. But the more sober Harvard men see in the victory over Pennsylvania only a welcome return of something like the. old-time Harvard "fighting spirit." .which has been wanting this season. The same next Saturday against Dart mouth will really be more decisive as an indication of what Harvard can do against Yale than many have thought. Dart mouth has the heaviest team in the east and that it can play superior football is evident. If Harvard can down the Han over men Saturday by a decisive score, there will be much hope for a creditable showing against Yale the following Sat urday. Racing at New York. New York.

Mystic Cure Gives Immediate Relief Isaac Jackson of Thorntown, Ind., says: "I have been a sufferer for years with rheumatism and found nothing that would benefit me until I tried Deletion's Mystic Curo for rheumatism. My knees were ter ribly inflammed and swollen and the pain excruciating. The remedy relieved the pain immediately and the inflammation and swelling began to subside at once. I have seen it used in manji other cases with the same wonderful effect. I earn estly advise all sufferers from rheumatism and neuralgia to use it."

Will Assist Itock Island to Gain Its Point. Cut-off May Be Built If Deal Falls Through. Denver, Colo., Nov. 10. Rock Island and Rio Grande interests are believed to be in a combination which will re sult in the issuance of an ultimatum to the Moffat road if that line con tinues to ignore negotiations of both the Rock Island and Rio Grande for short line privileges. The Rock Island wants a transcontinental line. If the Moffat road management becomes tractable the Rock Island's difficulties are eonauared. The Rio Grande wants a short line to. Salt Lake. It must have it. but the Moffat line is said to have repudiated an alleged under-' standing when the Moffat road was be ing financed. These conclusions have been reached by Denver railroad men since the conference held between Senator Kearns. John M. Stevens and Rio Grande officials. "If the Moffat road will not sell to the Rock Island nor grant traffic Driv iieges to the Rio Grande, the Bock Is land and Rio Grande will build a cut off to the Rio- Grande's main line," said a well posted railroad man yes terday. "The Rock Island, it is well known, means to go to the coast, and has been trying to perfect traffic arrangements with the Moffat road or to buy that line. No satisfaction has been given the Rock Island by the Moffat man agement. "The Rio Grande, also as a matter of self-protection, has been trying to mane tramc arrangements with the Moffat road in order to have a short line to Salt Lake. In fact, a tacit agreement was made some time ago that the Rio Grande should be given ingress and egress to Denver via the Moffat lines. The Gould interests were the ones that made sih strenuous protest when Moffat firsVwent to New York to finance his road, and they did not desist until they were rjromised the Rio Grande should have short line privileges over the Moffat line. '"Lately, however, something seems to have happened to this understanding. Work on the White River Valley road, which was to be a connecting link be tween the Moffat and .Rio Grande lines, has been delayed owing to the fact that the Rio Grande people are not absolutely certain what the Moffat road will do about short line privileges. "Both the Rock Island and the Rio Grande are anxious to have the matter settled. I am confident they will notlfv the Moffat road that the time has come when a definite agreement must be made. If they can get no satisfactory reply they will build and fight the Moffat road tooth and nail. "That tht Rock Island road has perfect ed an arrangement with the Clark road" seems to be the general belief among railroad men: I am inclined to believ'2 that is true, else Senator Kearns would not have been interested in the Denver meeting. I understand he had full power to make a traffic agreement with both the Rock Island and the Rio Grande, bat no formal document was drawn up. Th9 Rock Island, with the Clark road and the Western Pacific, will be the biggest thing in the United States, not excepting the Northern Securities company, if that corporation should be resuscitated. Tne Rock Island will have a route to Los An geles and one to San Francisco. It will be in a position to dictate terms to Chicago-New York lines and will be able to keep all the business it originates, instead of handing it over to other lines, as it does now. "Denver wilk be one. of the most im portant points on a transcontinental line that will be bigger and better than any transcontinental line now in existence." It has been learned that the failure ot the Rock Island directors to order a big bond issue at the recent election at Dav enport wa not because the Moore broth ers' policy was defeated. That was the reason generally assigned just after the election. The true cause is that in ab sorbing the 'Frisco system the Rock Island railway acquired some legal tech nicalities which prevented the bond issue at the time, but as soon as they are evaded the bonds are to be issued. FREEZER CARS A PLENTY. Santa Fe Has No Storage Tracks for Orange Equipment. San Bernardino. Cal., Nov. 10. Hun dreds of emuty refrigerator cars and nowhere to nut them. That is the predicament which Is now facing the Santa Fe in southern California, and the dispatchers are worrying their heads off in a vain en deavor to find a place to leave the freezers until they will be needed when the thick of the orange season comes on. The orange shipments still con tinue, but only amount to a half dozen cars a night, and when the fact is stated that there are 1,000 empty re frigerator cars in this section, the problem of securing sufficient side track facilities Is apparent. For some reason or other, no one seems to know just why. the Santa Fe has never built proper storage tracks for this business on the focal division, and as a result the moties must be shoved into every nook and cranny available. It is true that there is room for storage services in the eomnany's yards at San Diego, but this is .too great a distance from the shipping centers to be practicable. And so in stead of being at a single point they are scattered over the division, about 150 empty cars being run in at the local -ards. OSBOEN GOES TO NEWTON. Takes Place of Clerk Who Is in Santa Fe Hospital. C. H. Osborn of Topeka has gone to Newton to take up the duties of a clerk in the office of A. Dinan, division mas ter mechanic. He succeeds to the desk vacated by Mr. Trezise, who is at pres ent ill in the Santa Fe hospital here with an attack of heart trouble. RUSH ON WEST END. Men and Equipment Needed by Grain and Stock Movement. The Santa Fe is rushing cars and men to the western division to handle the increas ing business. The Newton Kansan Re publican says: With but few exceptions every crew coming in from the west call for eight hours rest, and if there be any extra men on hand they ask to lay off. But this proposition is often turned down, because of no extra men marked upon the board. The next best is eight hours rest, to which every man is entitled and which he gladly accepts. Frank Wilson, H. H. Daniels and John Switzer. Santa Fe engineers from La3 Vegas. N. M., have arrived in Newton to take service out of Newton on the western division. Their transfer is only temporary and will last only while the present rush in wneat and stock movements is on. The western division by the courtesy of the middle division has an, additional force of half a dozen brakemen. Three of them arrived last night from Emporia and the others were expected today. The business on the west end at present is going some and all available trainmen are in demand. The western division motive power equipment was increased yesterday by the arrival of three big prairie type engines from Topeka. They are the 1036, 1085 and 1137, which have been in service on the eastern division. The additional engines were needed and crews will be assigned to them immediately. HIT BY SACK OF FLOUR. Brakeman Ivey Nearly Killed by a Peculiar Accident. Newton, Kan., Nov. 10. While the lo cal crew between Newton and Dodge City were doing some switching at Nickerson, Milton Ivey, a brakeman, was seriously if not fatally Injured in a curious way. The engine was switch ing a cut of three cars, one which was a coal car in which Ivey was standing, on the mill track. Just as the cars passed the mill a 50 pound sack of flour was thrown or dropped from the third story, striking Ivey on the side of the head with terrific force. The other members of the crew ran to him and as quickly as possible a physician was summoned. The doctor pronounced his injuries as serious, stating that the patient's neck was almost dislocated by the force of the blow. Mr. Ivey was brought to Hutchinson where he is now in a hospital. The young man has only been in the employ of the company a short time. His folks live at Burrton, In answers to inquiries made by the trainmen at the mill as to who was re sponsible for the dropping or throwing of the flour all the employes professed ignorance. $50,000 IN WAGES. Santa Fe Has a Big Pay Roll at San Bernardino. San Bernardino, Cal., Nov. 10. On the coming 15th, or pay day, between $8,000 and ?9,000 over any amount of the pre vious pay days will be handed out to the employes of the Santa Fe in this city. With the Los Angeles pay roll the total amount paid by. the Santa Fe this month will be close to $50,000. The big increase in the amount, however, takes place in this city, where nearly all of the above sum will be paid. There are several things responsible for this large pay roll. The machinist helpers and boilermakers' helpers have all been given a raise, which in the aggregate amounts to considerable, and besides there has been a larse night force at work. It is as large, if not larger,' than any pay roll in the history of the shops. WRECK COST $150,000. Santa Fe Sustained Heavy Loss in Puebls Disaster. The wreck of the Chicago flyer near Pueblo, Col., some days ago cost the Santa Fe company in wrecked equip ment about $150,000. Engineer Johq Walker is the only one whose life was lost as a result of the wreck, he dying some hours afterward at the Pueblo hospital. Walker had asked for a lay off, and the resly from headquarters granting it was received just as the train was due to leave Denver, so he stuck to his post. He had been in the employ of the Santa Fe about 30 years, and was considered an engineer of ex ceptional merit. His fireman. J. K. Bates, escaped without, injury. THIS IS, A NEW JOB. rt t Supt. Hibbard, of the Santa Fe, Has an Amanuensis. Earl Freeman has been advanced from his position as stenographer in the Santa Fe offices here to the position of amanuensis to Superintendent Hibbard. It is believed that Arthur Hix of San Diego will be promoted to Freeman's place in the local offices. San Bernar dino Times-Index. Santa Fe Eagine in Collision. Engine 1144, a big prairie type freight, in service between Newton and Dodge, poked her nose into a string of cars at a station west of Newton yesterday, and as a result is in the hole for re pairs. The damage was slight, the number plate, pilot and other parts of the front end were disfigured. Derailed at Puzzle Switch. Newton, Kan., Nov. 10. As train No. 39, Conductor Cam Young and Engi neer Mullins, was pulling out of New ton about 7 o'clock a car in the front end of the train left the track at puzzle switch No. 2 in the west end yards, derailing several others before the train was brought to a standstill. Littie Mrs. Weisslitz, Buffalo, N.Y..J cared of kidney trouble by LydtaE. Pinkbam's Vegetable Compound. Of all the diseases known with which the female organism is afflicted, kidney disease is the most fatal. In fact, un less prompt and correct treatment is ap pliea, the weary patieBt seldomsurvives. Being' fully aware of this, Mrs. Pink ham, early in her career, grave careful study to the Bubject, and in producing her great remedy for woman's ills Lydia E. Pinkhani's Vegetable Compound made sure that it con tained the correct combination of herbs which was certain to control that dreaded disease, woman's kidney troubles. Read What Mrs. Weisslitz Says. "Dbab Mas. Pikkham: Fer two years my life was simply a burden, I suffered so with female troubles, and pains across my back and loins. The doctor told me that I had kidney troubles and prescribed for me. For three months I took his medicine, but grew steadily worse. My husband then advised me to try Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound, and brought home a bottle. It is the great est blessing ever brought to our heme. Within three months I was a changed woman.

STRIKE AT PARSONS. Machinists' Helpers Tie Up Work in Thr M. K. T. Shops. Parsons, Kan., Nov. 10. At 11 o'clock every machinist helper in the M., K. T. roundhouse and machine shops in this city, Denison and Smithville, Texas, dropped their tools and went out on a strike. This action was advised by the committee from the helpers from the three cities at the- conclusion of a con ference with Wm. O'Herin, superin tendent of motive power and equip ment, this morning. Between sixty and seventy men in the shops in this city responded to the call of their leaders, and as many, if not more went out at Denison, while only about twenty went out at Smithville. the force there nof being so large as at the other places. The men are asking for an eighteen and twenty cent rate per hour. The class known as the "floor men" are now receiving $1.50 a day, and under the schedule prepared and presented to Mr. O'Herin by a committee a demand is made for $1.80, while the other class known as the "steam pipe fitters" are getting $1.75; they want $2. The striking men were represented at the conference by S. B. Seals and F. A. Lucket, of Parsons; Messrs. J. J. Kelley and W. L. Nunnelle, of Denison, and S. B. Cook from Smithville, while Wm. O'Herin and Arthur Durham present ed the company's side of the affair. The meeting was held in Mr. O'Herin's private office and began promptly at 9:30 o'clock. The committee was In formed by Mr. O'Herin that he could not erant the increase which they ask ed. The committee then ordered the strike, the men at Smithville and Deni son going out simultaneously with the Parsons men. Other classes of helpers already receive $2 and some as high as $2.75. They, however, are not asking for a raise, but went -out in sympathy. The striking men called a meeting of their order at the City Hall for 3 o'clock to formulate plans for the continuance of the strike until their demands are granted. When the men quit this morning the machinists in the roundhouse and ma chine shops were left without helpers, with but one or two exceptions and were handicapped in their work. The laws of the union prohibit them from working with "scab" labor, and unless they assist each other the machinists will be unable to accomplish much. A number of the machinists did not go to work at all. WILL BREAK AWAY. Santa Fe Not Satisfied With K. C. Union Depot Kansas City, Mo.. Nov. 10. The Star says: The Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe railroad will lead a break from the present Union depot, if no action tA-ard a new station is taken m the near future. In the event of such a break there is more than an even chance that a big passenger station will be built on the line of the .ansas City Belt railway company near Twentv-second street and Grand ave nue. H. U. Mudge, general manager of the Santa Fe system and president of thp Kansas Citv Belt railroad, was seen bv a reporter last night. "While no definite action has been taken since the meeting in May." said Mr. Mudge. "I am free to say that if a decision is not reached at the meet ing, which. I understand, is to be held soo'n, the lines will break away from the present depot and there will be in dependent action. The consolidation of the Rock Island a.nd the Frisco lines gives us hone that we will have the support of these lines for the South side site. The site can easily by reached by all of the lines in Kan sas City, with perhaps the greatest difficulty for the Union Pacific, Bur lington, Wabash, and the Chicago Great Western lines. "While, of course, there is more or less conjecture concerning the Union depot proposition, there is no room for contradiction in the nrorjosition that the passenger trains contribute more to delay the movement of freight in Kansas City than all other causes combined. A great bulk of the freight has to pass throuzh the pres ent depot yards, with the result that freight and passenger trains are de layed beyond all reason. The situa tion is going from bad to intolerable from the standpoint of both the pas senger and freight interests. There is nothing that will relieve this situation but the absolute separation of pas senger and freight business. "During the flood it was demon strated that trains could, with suffi cient facilities, be operated easily and satisfactorily from the Belt line depot. The plans for a South side depot have been discussed by officials of nearly all of the lines, and the only criticism has been that the plans are too extensive, that more room than is necessary is provided in the' opinion of some of the officials." WRECK NEAR ARGONIA. Santa Fe Passenger Goes Into the Ditch. Argonia, Kas., Nov. 10. No. 201, the west bound passenger on the South ern Kansas, or Panhandle branch of the Santa Fe. went into the ditch one and a half miles east of here Sunday night. All of the cars left the track while the engine remained thereon. One man was seriously injured by jumpins from the window as the car left the tracU. The train was running at a rate of about twentv miles an hour when a loose rail slipped between the engine and tender, breaking them apart, and tender, mail car. baggage car, two coaches and sleeper turned over in the ditch. The train was in charge of Con ductor Tommy Ryan and Engineer Hansen. The wrecking crew with Supt. Whisenand and Trainmaster Dowel left at once from Wellington, but the wreck was not cleared until nearly noon Monday. Work on El Paso Union Depot. Grading is progressing on the site of the union depot at El Paso. This grading contract was let to Frank Powers, an El Paso contractor, for $60,000. The damages to adjacent nrop erty will amount to tuv the same amount; and this is in addition to the cost of the depot itself, estimated at iiuO.000. Expect Increase in Pay. There Is considerable talk here about a probable increase in wages for the te!e grapn operators on the Santa Fe system, the operators on the 'Frisco and Rock Is land systems having been granted an in crease already. The Santa Fe always falls into line with all up-to-date things, and this is one which the operators especially deserve. Newton Kansan Republican. Receivers for Westmoreland Road.

The State Journal is a member of the Associated Press and receives the full day telegraph report of that great news or ganization for exclusive afternoon publica tion in Topeka. The news is received in the Fta'e Jour rial building over wires for this sole pur pose, busy throughout the entire day. A complete copy of the nig:it report la also received. New York's 400 has been cut in half. But 200 invitations to May Goelet's wedding Were issued. If Mr. Hanna enter the presidential race he might find it greatly to his advantage to secure the active oppo sition of Tom Johnson during the cam paign. Th president has asked Senator JIanna to remain at the head o the Republican national committee. This looks like forestalling: the work of the incubator. The St. Louis Post-Di3pateh hints that it was the labor vote that swelled Mark Hanna's majority to so enor mous a size at the recent election. Strange nobody thought of that be fore. The minister from Panama has ap pealed to Senator Morgan to drop his fight for Nicaragua and join the Pan ama process-ion. He might find it iworth while to address a few lines to the agents of the transcontinental rail roads on th same subject. Springfield (Mass.) Union: The Re publicans made legislative gains in New York rtate and also elected more mayors than last time, but nobody will believe it. All the people know is that New York city, including Brook lyn, went over to Tammany. President Gomper's annual report to the American Federation of Labor con vention in session at Boston shows that the membership of the organiza tion in September had reached a num ber above 17 hundred thousand. Now they are talking about taking political action. A body of voters like that might make trouble for somebody in the doubtful districts. Somebody must have given Henry Clews a "tip." In the latest issue of the Financial Review he says: "Congress will do little or nothing until after the presidential election, a year hence, and no disturbance need be expected from that quarter. One of the most import ant uncertainties is the Northern Secur ities case., a decision being expected from the United States supreme court in December. Upon this decision some most important financial operations will certainly depend Congress is now in session three weeks ahead of the regu lar time. The country may find interest in watching the proceedings in order to fee whether the relations between that body and Wall street be as intimate as is indicated by the pargraph quoted above. Analysis of the October failures by branches of business shows that only two of the fouiteen manufacturing di visions reported smaller liabilities than last year, chemicals and miscellaneous. The increase over last year's figures was greatest in iron and machinery, large insolvencies occurring in harvesters, iron works, automobiles, engines and shoe machinery. Heavy liabilities were elso reported in several lines of brew eries and cigarmakers. Five of the four teen trading classes reported smaller losses than last year, particularly drugs, hotels and liquors. Aside from the mis cellaneous class, which was swelled by two large lumber defaults, one in scrap metal and one in ice., the largest total of liabilities was provided by general stores, although in number the grocery and meat class stood first, as usual. Second in amount of defaulted liabilities was clothing swelled by one large milli nery suspension. As to the third class, embracing brokers, transporters other than railways, etc., the showing scarce ly surpassed last year's and fell much below October, 1901 and 1899. THE NEW REPUBLIC.- In general form the new republic tf Panama is an arc, curving from east to west, with its convex form toward the north. On the southeast it joins the s;.ate of Cauca, in Colombia, and cn thP west it is bounded by Costa Rica. In its widest part the distance from sea to sea is about 120 miles; In the narrowest about 30 miles. The coast lim on the Caribbean sea is about 450 miles long and form a re verse curve, convex from the Gulf of Darlen to Point Manzanillo and con vex from there to the Doraces river. On the Pacific side the bay of Panama makes an indentation about 110 miles deep and 122 miles wide, at its mouth. Its west coast is formed by the penin sula of Azuero. There are many is lands in the bav. At its north extremity is the city of Panama and on its east coast the gulf of San Miguel, which contains a good port. Many of the mountains of the Isthmus have an elevation of not more than 30 feet and. from the main divid ing ridge about 150 streams flow into the Atlantic and more than twice as fsaajr Into the Pacific. The area of the new republic Is 31,921 square miles. The gold mines have been about ex hausted, but coal Is still mined In con siderable amounts, and salt is an ex tensive Industry. The seasons are the wet and the dry, the former lasting from May till De cember, July, August and September being the hottest months. Fifty-five varieties of fruit trees grow on the Isthmus, conspicuous among them the palms. Maize and rice are the prin cipal grains, coffee, cocoa, tobacco and sugar being grown principally for home consumption. The railroad from Colon to Panama, 47 miles long, owned by an American company, was begun in 1850, and on January 28, 1855, the first train was run over it. Its cost was I7.SO0.000. The finest wrk on the road is the Chagres bridge, which is 625 feet long and 40 feet above the water. It cost $500,000. The government is supposed to receive from the railroad company 3 per cent, of its revenues and $10,000 annually for transporting foreign mails. In 1881 Ferdinand de Lesseps organ ized a company to build a canal across the Isthmus, and by the middle of 1886 he had raised a capital of 772.M5.412 francs, but the company was forced to to into liquidation and suspended the work on March 15. 1SS9. An exten sion was granted him. in 1893, to en able a new company to be formed, and in 1S94 it was organized, agreeing to complete the work in ten years. The term was, in 1900, extended for six years longer, until March 31, 1910. The negotiations between this com pany and the United States and be tween Colombia and the United States, the latter of which came to naught last September, are familiar to all. JAYHAWKER JOTS.

From the Atchison Globe. There is no use grumbling; people won't act to suit you. There is one consolation about this weather. It isn't hurting crops. A few drops of water don't amount to much unless you sit down in them. No matter how small a town is, there always seems to be some one in it who is yet to be converted. Every now and then some one makes you feel that you have a thing or two, but if you're smart, you will refuse to be jollied. We are mean enough to hope that the one who sits in our place at the table when we Are All In, will not en joy his meals. When a sensible girl marries a sensi ble man in a. sensible way, that is one of the weddings no one charges with being "romantic."

There should be more recognition of the kindness and meek spirit of those, who, having no talent, don't ask you to buy tickets to their concerts.

It is mighty hard for a woman to keep from cheering the winning side, no mat ter whose it is. When a man meets a woman ten years after she refused to marry him he feels like going out and buying champagne for the town.

Pueblo, Colo, Nov. 10. Railroad men of southern Colorado are taking active steps to cause a calling off, or at least a modification, of the strike of the coal miners. All the brother hoods of railway employes are to hold a mass meeting in this city Thursday evening and take action to bring in fluence to bear upon President John j Mitchell and the other memDers or coal miners. So vitally interested are the five railroads centering here, and their thousands of employes, in the coal transportation that the strongest possible effort will be made to bring about peace in some shape. TROOPS CAN'T LAND. Report That British Vessels Carrj Colombian Soldiers. "Washington, Nov. 10. Upon receipt of a report by the state department that several British vessels were to be char tered by the Colombian government to take troops from Buena Ventura to the Isthmus, the navy department to day ordered the Boston to proceed off Buena Ventura and in the event that the troops start for the Isthmus, the commanders will be informed that they cannot land. The navy department announces that no attempt will be made to interfere with British vessels on the high seas. CHURCH AS A MONUMENT. Never to Be Used as a Place of Worship. In the small town of Naples, situated on the coast, near Santa Barbara. Is a substantially built stone church that has never been used for any other purpose than as a sepnlcher for a man and a. dog. The dog's name does n appear in the dedication plate, but his body lies beside that of his master in the mausoleum back of the church. The inscription on the plate over the door of the church reads: "This church is erected to the glory of God and His Son. Jesus Christ; and in memory of the founder of Naples, John H. Williams." N'aples has been without a church ever since it was founded, and the lack was a source of considerable regret to a number of its citizens. In good time the omnipresent philanthropist arose in their midst and said that he would build a church and present it to the town. This man was the founder, John H. Williams. He had a good deal of trouble in getting material for his church. The first lot of shingles was so bad that it could not be used, and the builder decided to send to Europe for a fresh supply. He was a man of considerable wealth, and had arranged to exeend at least $30,000 on the struc ture. He was destined not to see the fulfillment of his plans; he died while the decorators were still at work on the interior of the building. His pet dog, an animal of which he was ex tremely fond, died at about the same time. Williams did not leave any di rections regarding the furtherance of his plans, nor state what disposition should be made of his remains, so the widow took the reins in her own hands. Work on the church was stopped and the doors were closed. "This church," she said, "shall never be used as a place of worship. It shall stand just as it is a monument to my dead husband." And she caused the dog to be buried with him. for his love for the animal had amounted almost to a passion. The doe had been his constant com panion in life, and in death they were not to be divided. There is no sexton or keeper in charge of the church, and it has consequently a neglected, for lorn appearance, although it has been standing only since 1897. The interior was once used as a receptacle for hay, and has never been swept out. Cob webs and dust hang from the beams, and the steps are overgrown with weeds. San Francisco Chronicle.

Ii Myers of the Topeka railway company has returned from a two weeks' absence in Chicago and Peoria. Mr. Myers .says his trio was on business connected with his street railway interests in Peoria, and that he doesn't know of anything- new regarding the affairs of the Topeka comiany of which he Is vice president and general manager. He says work in North Topeka will begin at once as the company-!,has moufh material on hand for that, but that the other con struction worlt "will be iniided by the inability to get all the material needed. "We are about ready to begin work over the river," said he today, "and will get to it in the course of the next week or so. We'll put tnrough1 our North Topeka construction in a hurry as we have enough ties and rails for it. The men are having a nasty time clear ing away the debris of the old street car bridge in the river but we 11 have that cleared out before long. Our plans for the new bridge are in the hands of the streets and walks committee. I do not know when we can get the material we want for the new bridge. It is slow in coming as we got our order in late and have to take our turn. The builders are getting along nicely with the work on the street car barns and I believe the concrete will make a very fine look ing and durable structure." Mr. Myers entered a forcible denial of the statement that the Topeka Rail way company has been absorbed by the General Electric company to be a part of a system of city railways through this state and Nebraska which would be developed and conneced by Inter urban lines. He says it is a fake. The General Electric )mpany, he says, manufactures only supplies, and is not the owner of a single street railway anywhere. He says there is no other organization engaged in establishing such a combine.

The tent city in southern California this past summer has been more popu lar than ever before. In point of fact, thi3 curious institution flourishes the year round, both in the verdant winter and the yellow summer of this land of sunlight. On the Atlantic coast we have our Ocean Spray and Sea View hotels, our cottage cities, and our park beach es; here on the Southern pacific they have all of these and the people who take their recreation under canvas. Now, it must not be considered that this means what we call in the east "camping out," where a man and his family pitch a tent by a Maine lake or under the lee of a Long Island sand dune. The tent settlements on the Cali fornia coast are cities, some of them large enough for incorporation. There are hotels where every room is the pat ron's own little castle, and each year more and more persons are discovering that, in a land where there is practically no rain, living in a tent, either for the year round or for a two days' -vacation, is not only healthy and inexpensive, but also more pleasant and comfortable. Ev ery season capital is being invested in canvas and tent poles, camp stoves and band stands, rustic theaters and bath houses, and all the other requisites for a typical tent hotel; the advertising is done, the patrons come, and the tent city is in existence. The first tent hotel of importance was started not many years ago on the island of Santa Catalina; in Au gust, 1S03, there were nearly six hun dred persons under the canvas. Far ther down the coast, nearly into Mex ico, there is another large settlement at Coronado, marking the sand break water of San Diego harbor with patches of white; at Redondo a new city has grown up this summer, and at several other places smaller settle ments have squatted near the boom ing surf of the Pacific. These canvas cities, or, to use a more 1- .Jfer our popular Millinery a new Hat or some late style trimming material. correct term, the tent hotels, are man aged and supervised in the same man ner that a big summer hotel is con ducted. The ground is marked off in small lots, and ,with a furnished tent is rented just as a room is rented. Ton can have a tent to yourself or a partitioned tent for your family. You can tio your own cooking or eat at the cafe. A bed and its furnishings, chairs, a table and a washstand. and a constant supply of clean linen these are the outfit, and if there are only two of you you can enjoy ail this out door luxury for $6 a week. Then there are all sorts of things you can hire separately, from a gasoline stove on which you can prepare your meals to an extra blanket to keep you warm at night. But still more of a novelty here is a hotel where you can bring your own room with you. for there is space which is rented to persons who wish to erect their own tent?. Water is supplied to the whole settle ment through pipes, and iced water for drinking is dispensed from barrels, placed along the streets. Streets? In deed there are, with numbers and ave nues streets that are macadamized and streets lined with arching trees. In the center of the larger cities there are drug stores and cafes, groceries and dentists offices, just as if it were a settlement of brick blocks instead of canvas tents. And. just like other cities, there is a water supply and a system of sewer age; there are street sprinklers and a fire department. The variety of the attractions exceeds that of any hotel of the ordinary sort. One tent is a card room, another a bil liard room; there are band concerts and a theater, shototng galleries and a casino for dances, Japanese tea gardens, golf links, tennis courts, croquet grounds, Dotanmcai garaens, natn houses, menageries of monkeys and pools where Pacific seals are squirming for the amusement 01 tne cnuaren. Ana yet it must not be supposed that these diversions partake of a "Coney Island atmosphere." On the contrary, the tent cities have a lamily appearance rrom end to end, and even at the band con certs given every evening the audiences are, socially, of tne neighborhood type, and not that diverse 'and motley assem bly one meets at the park beaches on the Atlantic.

Dept. when you need NO MORE WAR SHIPS And No Soldiers Unless Panama Situation Changes. Washington, Nov. 10. At the cabinet neeting today the Panama situation was practically the sole topic of discus sion. The whole situation in respect to the revolution out of which has grown the republic of Panama was considered thoroughly. It is understood tlat no further statements concerning the organization of the new republic or negotiations be tween Panama and the "United States regarding the construction of the Pan ama canal will be made at this time. The situation so far as American in terests on the isthmus are concerned is regarded to be in excellent shape. The status of M. Philippe Buna Varilla, the representative in this country of the republic of Panama, was considered, but no statement con cerning the matter was made at the conclusion of the meeting. If n change in the present situation should occur it is not regarded as likely that any additional naval force will be ordered to the isthmus. Certainly no land forces will be ordered to Panama, unless the situation should take a se rious turn. DEATHS AM) FUNERALS.

The Branner team had the best of the game during the first half, having the ball within the five yards of Lincoln's goal when time was called for tne first half. Lincoln, seeing the Branner team was the best of the two. attempted to put the big Lime Kiln players in the game. Branner kicked against this and Lin coln refused to play so the game was forfeited to Branner, 6 to 0." 4

Glren a Large Crowd and Lively Welcome at Elizabeth. Elizabeth, N. J., Nov. 10. Carrie Na tion and her company appeared here last night In her play. "Hatchetation," a new version of "Ten Nights in a Barroom," 1n which she is billed for three nights at the Lyceum theater, with a matinee each day. The famous saloon wrecker reached town early and made her first call on May or Ryan, with whom she had a long talk, and assured him she would not indulge in any barroom smashing while in the city. She declared, However, that Eliz abeth was a living hell from the number of its saloons, and that cigarette fiends were too plenty. She pulled a cigarette out of a man's mouth who was sitting smoking it in an automobile, but this is the extent so far of her public demonstra tions. She was greeted with a big audience but looked very angry when she saw a handsome new saloon had just been open ed in the theater building and adjoining its entrance. She significantly remarked: 'I wonder if that fellow will do business when I get through." She, was given an uproarous welcome when she appeared on the stage, which so pleased her that she made a short speech in each of the five acts of the plav. The grand climax was reached In act four, when Carrie wrecks the Sickla tav ern with her hatchet. The applause was deafening as she strode up and down smashing bottles and glasses and upsetting chairs and tables. She had to appear twice before tne curtain at the e.nd of this act and, flourishing her ax, exclaimed: "I would like to sma'sh ten Elizabeth barrooms like this every night." This remark elicited loud applause, for which Carrie repeatedly bowed her thanks. Her support in general is fairly good, but Carrie, however, is the who'o (how. Charles B. Newton as Joe Moran, the drunkard, Miss Newton as his wife, Mas ter Johnnie Newton as Mary Morgan, thoir child, Charles Webster as Simon Slade. proprietor of the Sickle and Sheaf tav ern, and Charles Hawkins as Sample Switohel, the funny man of the play, all acted their parts acceptably. Carrie held an informal reception after the performance when she passed through the audience, a large portion of whom were women, and shook hands with every one she could reach, meanwhile doing a thriving trade In selling to them her lit tle souvenir hatchet.

The concert given by Blind Boone at the First Christian church last night was a complete success. The church was filled, and it is estimated that about $00 people were present. The church made about $70 by the transaction. The ma jority of the residents of Topeka have heard Blind Boone play the piano, but his return to the city is always profit able. Although he has to learn' the most difficult music by from hearing it play ed, his wonderful aptitude allows him an unlimited repertoire, ranging from classic to rag time plantation melodies. Blind Boone is not a vocalist, but he sings severa'. little "humorosities." This part of his programme was well receiv ed last night, and1 he was heartily ap plauded. Miss Emma Smith, the soprano with his etimpany, sang several numbers which were very pleasing. The enter tainment is well worth the price of ad mission, and it is expected that the First Baptist tabernacle at Tenth and Jack son street will be crowded tonight at his second concert. BIG LAND SUIT. Title Part of Kansas City Is in Question. A suit involving the title of 108 acres of valuable land in Kansas City, Kan., is pending in the supreme court, and a decision will be due at the December sitting. The land is said to be worth more than a million dollars. Away back in 1S59 the Wyandotte Townsite company gave to the city this strip of land along the Missouri river with the understanding that it should be used and improved for levee pur poses. It was so used for a number of years, but more recently it has been leased to railroad companies and manu facturing plants by the city. Now the heirs of the members of the ol town site company allege that the failure of the city to use the land for the pur poses for which it was given has caused the title to revert to the company, and they sue for possession. The lower court decided in favor of the city and the heirs appealed. Searing Postponed. New Tork, Nov. 10.

Shirley, a New Tork financial magnate now stopping at the Angelus hotel in this city.

The death knell to the hopes of more than twenty Tam many district leaders who are candi dates for places under Mayor McClellan was sounded today, when it was posi tively made known that Leader Charles P. Murphy had decided that Tammany leaders shall not be appointed to office. This rule, it was. stated on unimpeach able authority, would be suspended in but two cases, those of John T. Oakley and Frank J. Goodwin. This eliminates, among others, Wil liam Dalton, who has been regarded as certain to get back his old place as com missioner of .water supply; James J. Hagan, who wants to be correction commissioner, and Francis J. Lantry. who wants a place. Murphy is ambitious to become a fac tor in national politics and part of his plans in that direction is to run Mc Clellan for governor. He hopes to pave the way for this, it is said, by a suc cessful administration of New Tork city under McClellan as mayor. "I am not going to have a repetition of the Van Wyck administration," Mur phy said in positive terms to a Tam many leader. "High class men, not identified with the organization as lead ers will be picked out to head the de partments. I am not going to run my head into a noose. The organization has too much at stake." Murphy is looking for big men, re garded by the public as thoroughly honest and straight, but who at the same time will be loyal to the organiza tion in filling places. Men who have been opposed to the organization will stand a good chance of being named. MAN EVERY TWO MILES. Uock Island Track Is Guarded for Thirty Miles. Des Moines, la., Nov. 10.

Johnson, even If It should be necessary to enact an entire new municipal code. Senator Hanna has intimated as much to some of the leaders since the elec tion. He wants to deprive Johnson, in fu ture contests, of the power that the patronage of a city like Cleveland gives, and at the same time reward Cuya hoga Republicans for their victory.

STREET CARS STOP., Coal Famine Is Already in Sight in Colorado. Denver, Colo., Nov. 10. The tie up In the Colorado coal fields in conse quence of the strike order issued by John Mitchell, president of the United Mine Workers of America, is more extensive than operators had anticipat ed or union leaders had expected. In Las Animas county, the principal battleground, the union leaders assert that only one hundred of the 8,000 men employed in the various camps are working today. The operators, how ever, declare that they still have about 1.000 men in the mines. In Huerfano county there are 1,800 miners, of whom more than 1,000 are Klready on strike and the union leaders ire confident that they will succeed in inducing the remainder to come out. Practically all the 1,800 miners in Fre mont county are idle. In the northern field 1,500 miners are on strike and about 400 are working on email independent properties at which all the demands of the men have been conceded. In western Colorado about 1,000 min ers are working but organizers are busy among them. Union leaders at Trinidad say that eighty per cent of the miners in New Mexico have gone out. In Wy oming and Utah the strike has not yet been effective. No violence or disorder has been re ported anywhere in the coal regions. After a conference lasting till after midnight Governor Peabody announced that no troops would be sent to the oal fields today. Adjutant General Hell is now in Trinidad investigating conditions. John L Gehr is in active charge of the strike in the southern district, and money has been deposited in the First National bank of Trinidad to taker care of the striking miners, who declare their firm intention to stay out until their demands are complied with. The Colorado Fuel Iron company has noti fied all married men in its employ that they will be evicted from the company dwellings by Friday morning if they fail to return to w-ork. William Howells, district president of the United Mine Workers, said today that since the strike was ordered more than 2,000 members had been added to the union. "Mother" Jones is holding meetings at the various camps and is everywhere received with enthusiasm by the miners. 10,000 MKN OUT. Denver. Nov. 10. More than 10,000 coal miners in Colorado are idle. Of the Idle men 6,000 are in the southern coal fields, 2.000 in the northern coal fields and 1,800 In Fremont county. One hun dred mines have been closed down. A few independent properties in' the coal fields aiid elsewhere will not stop work since the operators have agreed to con cede the eight hour day and also in crease wages. Less than 1,000 miners will remain at work, according to re ports from the affected districts. The announcement comes that 600 have gone out in Colfax county, N. M. The others In that territory are now negotiating with the mine owners. The Colorado Fuel Iron, Victor Fuel Northern Coal Coke com panies are the largest producers. Prac tically all of their properties have been tied up by the action of the miners. However, they "are making efforts to continue operations under the protection of a strong guard. It is estimated there are about 140 coal mines in the state, with an output of some 8.000,000 tons a year and about 1,000,000 tons ol coke. It will be the policy of the United Mine Workers to depopulate the various coal districts by sending the idle men and their families to Illinpis, Indian Territory, Missouri and Iowa and other states where work has been secured for them. Some 5.000 fares to these states have already been arranged for by the United Mine Workers and hundreds of the strikers are on their way to new fields. D. C. Evans, member of the executive fcoard of the national organization from Indiana, is now at Trinidad to handle the financial end of the strike. Other members of the executive board are in the state and will have charge of the campaign during the struggle, one be ing stationed in each of the centers of the strike zones. The storm center will be about Trinidad, in the southern fields, where the number of miners aggregates 8.000. At the towns of Hastings and Del srna. where the Victor Coal company employs 2,500 men, it is reported that 1.000 are workine. Both places are strongly guarded and strangers are not allowed to enter them. General Manager James F. Welborne of the Colorado Fuel and Iron com pany announced today that the com pany would continue to operate Its mines, and the public need have no fear of a coal famine. At the office of the Victor Fuel company it was an nounced that all its mines were in op eration and would continue to be op erated. The large companies operating 'In the northern fields admitted that their mines were closed. Not over 150 men are working in the northern field. DesDite the claims of the coal com panies, householders In Denver and other cities who have not laid m a winter supply of coal, found it im possible today to secure a ton of coal for immediate delivery. The supply of lignite coal is already exhausted, and companies having: other kinds of coal booked orders for not more than one ton, subject to two weeks' delay in de livery. The railroad companies claim to have enough coal stored to meet all their requirements for some time. The Colorado Southern railroad is reported to have confiscated nearly one thousand cars 'of coal which had been Our Business Methods Win. Avenue. Security Building. loaded last week and were standing on sidings. Sheriff Clark of Las Animas county has enrolled sixty deputies. State militia is held in readiness to be dispatched to the coal regions at the first call from the sheriffs of the coun ties affected. A special from Trinidad says that since Saturday night nearly 2.000 non union miners have joined the unions in that district. A special to the Republican from Boulder. Colo., says the Electric Light and Power company which furnishes light for the city and operates the street railway system announces that the street railway will be shut down on ac count of the threatened coal famine. The lighting plant will be kept run ning. A special from Florence, Colo., says the Colorado Portland Cement works closed down, although the plaster of paris plant of the same company will be kept in operation. It U explained the industrial depression all over the country has caused a great glut of the cement market. HE IS A FT Ell POLLOCK. James A. Troutman Would Prevent His Appointment James A. Troutman is In Washington not for the purpose of aiding any par ticular candidate for federal judge, but to see that one certain candidate is not appointed. That candidate is Justice J. C. Pollock. Mr. Troutman's grievance against Judge Pollock grows out of the famous De Boissiere home case, which Mr. Troutman won in the supreme court over the trustees appointed to have charge of the home for the Odd Fel lows' grand lodge. The court stood four to three, in Troutman's favor. The dissenters were Justices Cunningham, Pollock and Burch. Justice Cunningham wrote a mild dissenting opinion, but the one by Justice Pollock was a scorcher. He not only "roasts" the plaintiffs. Trout man Stone, but the opfnion seems to reflect upon the majority members of tne court. Justice Pollock said: "What Is the attitude of the plain tiffs? As shown by the record, their hrst appearance in this controversy was as counsel for. the sister of the grantor, as his heir at law, in an action of eject ment brought to recover this property. She resided in France. She had no right to recover the property, because she was an alien and could not inherit un der existing law. The property is large, estimated to be of the value of $75,000 to $100,000. According to plaintiff's show ing, while acting in the fiduciary rela tion to her of legal adviser, and at a time when, in the absence of an author iizng treaty between this government and France, she possessed no inherit able or salable right to the property, they engaged in the doubtful transac tion of securing from her a transfer of her pretended interest in the litigation for the nominal sum of about $4,500. In other words, upon their own showing, they are guilty of wagering with their client, at the ratio of about twenty to one, that the courts of this state would not uphold the deed of her brother, as grantor, to a worthy charity. They came into a court of equity to recover their wager, and h'aVe won." Then in closing his opinion Justice Pollock used this language: "After a thorough examination of many of the multitude .-of decision and pre cedents governing this case, it is to my mind incomprehensible and Inexplicable why this most noble gift to a worthy charity has been stricken down in the house of its friends. The reason given for so doing neither convince the mind nor excuse the act. We had a wealth of learning'to guide our footsteps. The mistake made is irretrievable. Men of large wealth and benevolent minds will in future shun the state as they would a pestilence. No court, unless compelled there to by law. w-ill follow the decision made. No lawyer will cite it unless in support of a doubtful or desperate case. Its end accomplished it should retire to the oblivion to which it belongs. The orphans in their poverty and their rags will say of it, 'Anathema Maran-atha.' That is why Mr. Troutman is making war on Justice Pollock. He will work against him in the Kansas delegation, and it is asserted that he will even go to the president with his grievance if there is any probability that Justice Pollock's name will go to the president for his consideration. This opinion by. Judge Pollock need not necessarily be to his discredit, but it is reported that Mr. Troutman has other things which he will present to the members of the Kansas delegation if Jude Pollock's utterances in the De Boissiere case have no effect. 1100SEYELT AT THE PLAY. He Saw the Initial Performance of "Babette." Washington, Nov. 10. President Roosevelt and the most distinguished audience of the present theatrical sea son witnessed Miss Fritzl Scheff's debut in light opera at the National theater last night in "Babette," a ro mantic comic opera written for her by Victor Herbert and Henry B.

City Council Jlade Economy Rec ord Which Now Bears Fruit. City Treasurer Hale states that there is an interest bill of $11,026.22 coming due in December and that the city has only $3,500 In the interest fund to meet the payment. The result will be a de ficit of $7,500 with which to start off the new year. No one is to blame for this condition except the niggardly policy of the city council in years past. It has scrimped and scrimped on the Interest fund so that the tax levy was 2 mills. Since then the city has issued $60,000 worth of city hall bonds and $69,000 worth of Santa Fe shop bonds, and instead of in creasing the levy to meet the increased interest charge, it was actually reduce! to 1 mills during Hughes' adminis tration. For 1904 it was dragged up to 2 mills again. It should be 2 mills to meet the $22,052.44 annual charge and pay up the deficit of $7,500. In the year 1903, the city actually. re ceived for the interest fund $19,917.20, and as the amount to be paid was $22,- 052.44, the deficit for the year 19.03 is ex actly $2,135.24. The rest ot tne i,auu is a heritage from previous years. What will the city do; prooamy ao what it has done for the past five years in a similar crisi3. namely: appropriate enough from next year's taxes to pay this year's interest. A levy of 1 mill is supposed to raise about $11,000. As a matter of actual experience it brings in not quite $10,000. The other $1,000 is "delinquent taxes" which is swallowed up in some myster ious process of bookkeeping alchemy at the county treasurer's office and never heard from again. For years the citv has suspected that it has a fab ulous sum in "delinquent taxes" side tracked at some bookkeeper's desk at the court house, but it has never been able to get its fingers on the money, or even discover the amount. So it is like a bequest from long-lost European rela tions: not worth counting on. THE OMNIBUS BOND ISSUE. Another big item has been discovered to be added to the issue of refunding bonds, which will bring the total to at least S82.000 instead of $71,000 as was expected a few days ago. The addition al item is $8,890.41 in old "sidewalk script" held by the city, with accumu lated interest which will bring the total to $9 000. The interest on outstanding warrants amounts to $1,783.12, and this, too, will be dumped into the omnibus. Whether or not the sidewalk script should be paid for by the city at large is a question for the council to decide. City Treasurer Hale explains the situa tion as follows: "When sidewalks axe laid, the city issues its warrants to pay the contrac tors The cost of the sidewalk is taxed up against the property, the supposition being that the money in these sidewalk funds will take up the warrants. There are many pieces of property which fail to pav their share. They are not worth the tax. and are not worm tne city s taking them up. The city is 'stuck' for this deficit. This has been accumulat ing for four or five years. Some of it may eventually be paid in, but when it is it can be turned over to the general funds As present the banks here in Topeka hold these old sidewalk war rants, which draw 6 per cent interest. It would be a good plan to refuel them along with everything else, and save 1 per cent interest, as the bonds will draw only 5 per cent." Monday afternoon Mayor Bergund thal issued to the Barber Asphalt com pany the city's warrant for $7,541.09. in payment for the repair work done this summer. The company agreed not to cash the warrant till Decemoer to. By that time the new bond issue will be sold. The Barber company will probably discount the warrant at some bank, and thus Bet its money at once. The following is a detailed state ment, up to the hour of going to press, of the items .to be covered by the new issue of refunding bonds: Bank of Topeka $14,000.00 First National bank 12,723.89 Central National bank 4,81.87 State Savings bank 7,701.71 Merchants' National bank 6.6.9.95 Shawnee State bank 5.884. 8S Individuals 5,045.04 Barber Asphalt company 7,541.09 Judgments 5,725.45 Interest on judgments 510.45 Interest on warrants 1,783.12 Sidewalk scrip 9,000.00 Court costs 402.70 Total .$S1,8S0.15 EMPORIA BANK CHANGES.

The game was an ex ceedingly close and interesting onq, and the teams were so evenly matched that it was not until the score was made along in the middle of the sec ond half that it was possible to make a guess as to the outcome.

Father Kruszka today said: "I am now al most sure the Polish petition will be granted; that at least Polish vicars with the faculties and titles of an Episcopal auxiliary will be appointed, or even diocesian bishops in some vacant sees. This is what the Poles desire. The rep resentatives of a petition for" separate national dioceses are false." CITY IS BESIEGED. San Domingo Is Surrounded by a Hostile Army.

Dynamite was exploded this morning under the electric light power house at Hastings, 20 miles north of Trinidad. One corner of the house was blown out but the machinery was not damaged to any great extent. Although information is meagre, it is understood that the dynamite was not placed correctly and as a consequence very little damage was done. At strik ers' headquarters it is claimed that the dynamiting was not done by strikers and that the purpose probably was to have militia ordered to the camp. It was rumored here that the superintend ent of the Hasting- mines had been shot and seriously injured, but this could not be verified. J. MACK LOVE ROBBED.

NOVEMBER 10, 1900. no longer attached to the emperor's wound by the court officials, who con sider that public concern can best be allayed by not saying anything except what is contained in the bulletins. THEY ARE WORKING. People Along Route of Pro posed Electric Line Active. Pk?7 J If you want pictures, perfume, paper lace and cardboard, you can get them with toilet soap; but they only add to the selling price and do not improve the soap. Sometimes an elaborate wrapper is used to sell a poor soap. Ivory Soap is put up in a plain, un pretentious wrapper, but is the purest soap manufactured. IT FLOATS. SIXTH. DISTRICT NOTES. Not many Sixth district editors will give up a good paying job for a news paper plant. This is what E. A. Mellen did, and now he Is the full Hedged editor and publisher of the Lenora News. The Norton Courier is "badly in need of a good printer. A sober, Industrious, neat man can find steady employment" on that paper. Everett Taylor, a Phillips county printer, has traded his profession for a patent washing machine. The Socialist party in the Sixth dis trict is being kept before the people by thetate lecturer, Miss Luella R. Kray bill, which reminds the people of the glorious days of Populism in this dis trict, when the cause was being cham pioned by Mary Ellen Lease and Annie Diggs in every sub-alliance in the dis trict. Stockton people hope to get another railroad. This time Hutchinson people will build it, and Stockton is on the proposed route." If Charley Woods, the former Stockton banker, was alive, he would take out his map. and check up another railroad for Stockton. The last time this map was seen Charley .Woods had checked off about two dozen railroads surveyed and chartered, and all of them would run through Stockton. The new line doesn't ask for bonds, but the plau of the promoters Is to sell stock to farmers and business men benefited by the road. Shares will have a par value of $10, to be paid as follows: One dollar per share at the time the stock is subscribed, and $1 per share when ten miles of the road is built. Farmers will be given an oppor tunity to pay for their shares in right of way or working on the construction of the road. Rev. W. K. Loofbourrow is going to Ifave Atwood. and will locate in Free port, 111. He has been a preacher, edi tor, real estate boomer and farmer since his short grass residence. Had he re mained in Atwood and Rawlins county he might have given the politicians some uneasiness, for his name had been mentioned for state senator of the Thirty-ninth district. District court is in session in Rawlins county i.-ils week. As usual the docket Is full of ca--es, there being 94. The St. F.-ancis papers say that W. B. Lockwood, member of the legislature from Cheyenne county, has sold his resi dence and other business property, situ ated In that town. His friends are won dering whether he is going to quit that town. He is connected with the bank there, while his wife is postmaster. Mr. I.ockwood's name is frequently mention ed in connection with the state senator question in the Thirty-ninth district. Most every "daF out of the box" a Sixth district citizen gets glory. This time it is Chas. M. Sawyer, of Norton, president of the First National bank of that town. He was elected one of the executive committee of ten members of the National Bankers' association of the United States at their recent annual meeting in San Francisco. Mr. Sawyer Is also vice president of the Farmers' State bank, of Oberlin. October is the record breaker for rail road business at Hoxie, a Union Pacific town in Sheridan county. Their station handled 87 car loads out and 24 cars In. The amount of cash taken in was about $21,0o0. At the Crum elevator in the town, during the same month, there was handled 71,663 bushels of wheat, 2.816 bushels of barley, and 2.815 bushels of rye, amounting to about $40,000 paid out for grain. Since the shipment of grain commenced, in August, Mr. Crum has APPETITE'S GONE. Food eaten without appetite always causes gastric disturbances, because un less the glands of the stomach are stim ulated by a desire for food no digestive juices are formed. Consequently the food is wasted and clogs up the bowels. For Loss of Appet te and constipation there is nothing to equal the Bitter3, Try a dose before meals. It also cures Dyspepsia, indigestion. Insomnia and Malaria, Fever anil Ague. HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS. shipped 170 cars of wheat and 8 cars of barley, rye and oats. S. E. Reude. a former Sixth district editor, having published the Osborne News for several years, is again in the newspaper work at Orlando, Fla. Out in Lincoln county some people have a novel way of advertising fam ily jars. Here is one way: "My wife having left my home, and now refuses to live with me, I do hereby warn all persons not to sell her anything on my account. Several Graham county school teach ers seem to be travelir? over thorny roads. At a recent examination held by the superintendent and school ex amining board, a list of twenty-five common words were given the teach ers, and on an average it is said ten of them were misspelled. The Hill City Republican says of the late rains in Graham county: "The drouth is broken srood and plenty. It ended as most people had been expect ing with rain, and, oh my! what a fine rain it was. A whole week of showers nice, healthy, growing showers just enough to thoroughly saturate the soil and make the roads uncomfortably muddv." One of the Hays City papers says that Harvey J. Penney can poll more Republican votes than any other man in Ellis county. This statement is de batable. The county in the first place is Democratic. Judge Reeder carried it by a good majority, and it is claimed Penney, one of Congressman Reeder's managers, carried it for him. The question naturally arises, Which of them is the best vote getter. Frank Knox, the defeated Repub lican candidate for mayor of Salt Lake, was a former Sixth district boy. He was cashier of the First National bank of Osborne. The Lincoln Park Chautauqua asso ciation, Cawker City, has elected offi cers for next year, as follows: Presi dent, H. H. Welty, of Downs; vice presidents, H. B.. Woodbury, of Cawker City, and Dr. M. F. Hudson, of Os borne; secretary, C. H. Hawkins; finan cial secretary, J. G. McClun; treasurer, G. W. Dockstader, the last three being from Cawker City. The next meeting of the association will occur August 3 to 13. 5 With the new Democratic organ to be started in Logan will make two papers of that faith in Phillips county It is Congressman Reeder's town and county. O. C. R. Randall, who helped build up northwest Kansas, at Stockton and Atwood, as well as drive the buffalo and Indians off, and who a few years d6u mum: k uKianoma, has re turned to the Sixth district and hung out his law shingle in Gove City the county seat of Gove county. HALE FILLS ORDERS. He Sends Food to Families in Quarantine. County Poor Commissioner Hale is filling all orders for supplies for quar antined families that are sent to him from the office of City Physician Storrs. Commissioner TTa In Hne iiv,. 4UCBUUU any of the orders but fills the all as soon as they are received. He says if there is any complaint to be made about supplies for persons in quarantine that the city physician is responsible for he is doing his part and that with out delay. Since October 31 he has re ceived 14 orders for supplies and has filled them all immediately. The orders call for food and coal. HEAL ESTATE TRANSFERS. D. L. Heaston and wife to M. J.

We can bring those days by a little care in the selection of food just as this young man did. "I had suffered from dyspepsia for three years and last summer was so bad I was unable to attend school," he says: "I was very thin and my. appetite at times was poor while again it was crav ing. I was dizzy and my food always ur,ed to fement instead of digesting. Crossness, unhappiness and nervousness were very prdminent symptoms. "Late in the summer I went to visit a sister, and there I saw and used Grape Nuts. I had beard of this famous food before but never was interested enough to try it, for I never knew how really good it was. But when I came home we used Grape-Nuts in our household all the time and I soon began to note changes in my health. I improved stead ily and am now strong and well in every way and am back at school able to get my lessons with ease and pleasure and can remember them too. for the im provement in my mental power is very noticeable and I get good marks in my studies which always seemed difficult before. "I have no more of the bad symptoms given above but feel fine and strong and happy and it is mighty pleasant to hear my friends say: 'How well you look.' Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Look in each package for a copy of the famous little book, "The Road to Wellville." All along the route of the proposed railway extension from Topeka to Frankfort in Marshall county enthus iastic boom meetings have been held within the past week and Westmore land in Pottawatomie county has even gone so far as to begin the organiza tion of a construction company. But the Westmoreland people are interested in a different proposition from that which is in the minds of the other towns and different from the one To peka wants. The Westmoreland people want a line from there to Wamego, straight south, where it can make con nections with the Union Pacific. It is out of line with the direct route from Topeka to Frankfort? But Major T. J. Anderson is in re ceipt Of a letter from W. T. Hill, presi dent of the Westmoreland Commercial club informing him that a committee has been named to solicit stock in the com pany through which it is proposed to build the Wamego road. Westmoreland seems to be under the impression that Topeka ought to get in line and boom this road. Buf Topeka isn't likely to as long as she has the Frankfort scheme on hand. The Frankfort road would go through Havensville considerably east of Westmoreland. An enthusiastic meeting took place at Frankfort Satur day night and a committee of five was appointed and authorized to act with Topeka in the formation of a construc tion romnanv or in any other manner considered advisable. Havensville held a similar meeting at which similar ac tion was taken. At the meeting or tne Commercial club Wednesday night communiiations from these towns will be received and acted upon. What seems to be needed most right now is ah enthusiastic promoter who can take up the scheme and unite the efforts of the various towns to get the railroad line that is wanted. Every community through which it is proposed that it shall pass has made known its ap proval of the scheme and its willing ness to come forward with financial support. The status or tne xopena anu cil Grove road as wen as mat ui ui Manhattan Interuiban seems to beaboui the same. Everybody on all three routes wants the railway serviee in stalled and is willing to pay taxes for bonds for the purpose of gettingthe roads started. But all of the enthus iastic railroad boomers are so situated that they can not give time v,o inrt A meeting of the direc tors of the Topeka and Council Grove Interui-ban company will be held at the Topeka Commercial club at 10 o clock Wednesday morning for the purpose of completing the organization of the com pany.

Lee Makes Suggestion About Location of Electric Lines. To the Editor of the State Journal: The building and operating of inter urban electric lines over the public roads and highways of Shawnee county will soon be a reality; and as this is an innovation in this section, it is im portant to start out right in locating the tracks of the lines, for as they are built to make time between distant points -the cars and trains will be run at great speed and on favorable grades at a rate equal to thirty to sixty miles an hour, i. e., for short distances of the route. In order to accommodate both the electric lines and those using horse ve hicles with safety over the same high ways, especially for the safety of the women and also the children driving to and from school, no electric line should be built except on roads sixty feet wide, which is an ordinary width in the country, and if the lines are located over any road not as wide as sixty feet, the roads should be widened to that width, at the expense of the electric lines and the tracks laid at the extreme outside edge of the highway, and when a double track is required, each should be built on the opposite sides of the highway. This method of course will not be in favor with the corporations building the electric lines; they would rather lay their tracks right in the cen ter of the highway where the roadbed for the rails and the bridges for the road are already graded and built by the work of years of labor paid for by taxing the owners of the property, rea and personal, in that road district. If the electric tracks should be laid in the middle of the highway it would practically destroy the usefulness of such highways and they' soon would be abandoned to the exclusive' use of the electric lines, not only for the reason of the fright it would cause the driving horses but also because in extreme muddy conditions tracks laid in the middle of the road would render such roads impassable to loaded wagons. Re- SJMPLE REMEDY FOR CATARRH. Just Breathe Hyomei Four Times a Day and Be Cured. If a few years ago some one had said you can cure catarrh by breathing air charged with a healing balsam, the idea would have been ridiculed and it re mained for that eminent investigator, R. T. Booth, to discover in Hyomei this method of cure. Hyomei has performed almost mirac ulous cures of catarrh and is today recognized by leading members of the medical profession as the only adver tised remedy that can be relied upon to do just what it claims. The comolete outfit of Hyomei costs but $1.00, and consists of an inhaler, a medicine drop per and a bottle of Hyomei. Breathe Hyomei through the Inhaler for a few minutes four times a dav and it will cure tha worst case of ca tarrn. It soothes and heals the mu cous membrane of the air Dassases, prevants Irritation, and effects a com plete and lasting cure. In Topeka there are scores of well known people who say they have been cured of catarrh by Hyomei. If it does not cure you, Geo. W. Stansfteld, 632 Kansas avenue, will return the money you paid for Hyomei. This is the strongest evidence that can be offered as to his faith in the remedy. ferring ta horses being afraid of the cars, it must be remembered that even such as are immune from fright -in the busy part of the city, are often ren dered uncontrollable when meeting the same car running at the same speed on side streets. This horse idiosyncrasy will be intensified in the country where not only single cars but trains of cars will eventually be run, at a much high er rate of speed than city cars go. Then again you can't go round the block or turn a corner in the country as you can in the city, but you will be compelled to face whatever is coming. It is no new thing in the country or in the city either, torun the street rail roads at one side of the thoroughfare. Rochester, N. T., used to run and per haps does now, their street railways along the parks on each side of the streets in residence districts; a good many people in Topeka have rid den on the electric line running from Colorado Sm-ines to Manitou. which is built on the extreme side of the vehicle road. The county commissioners in granting charters or rights for the construction of the proposed inrerurban lines should ex ercise great care not to tie up the use of the highways so as to make difficul ties for the future, when the time ar rives, now fast approaching for the con struction of facilities (which likely may take the shape of wide rails or bands of iron laid on the highways), fbr the easy running of vehicles, cars or wagons propelled by artificial power, which pro bably in ten or fifteen years will be in daily and common use, by all farmers 'and those operating country properties, to the exclusion of horse power. We know that now. it is a frequent practice on many large farms to use ex clusivelv steam power to plow and plant, when putting in wheat. We also know that artificial power on both small and large farms is growing in favor rapidly and in arranging for present innovations safe guards should be planned for future improvements which will come in their turn.

Lacey was granted a permit to handle liquors at his drug store at 226 Kansas avenue. Probate Judge Hayden granted the permit after he had received sufficient evidence over the telephone that Lacey owned the store. The place was formerly owned by C. W. Kohl. Lacey bought it and applied for a permit to sell liquor. The hear ing was set for this morning. County Attorney Hungate appeared for the county and exploded a bomb-shell un der Lacey by asking him if he owned the store, how it happened that it was given a boom write-up by a local paper a few days ago as being tb stre owned by Kohl. Lacey had not per used the said boom item. Judge Hay den learned over the telephone that arrangements were made by Kohl for the write-up some time last spring, be fore he sold the store, and that the flood had delayed the carrying out of the contract.

Will Introduce Two Dairymen as Witnesses. MR.HOWARD SATISFIED Thinks That He Has Made a Good Case. Talk oil Employing a City Bacteriologist. Something sensational In the way of evidence is said to be held in reserve by the opponents of Food Inspector Farnsworth. to be "sprung" at the meeting of the health committee to be held the latter part of this week. An effort will be made, it Is said, to prove that Farnsworth not only knew that formaldehyde was used as pre servative by Topeka milkmen, but that he encouraged its use and practically gave two dairymen permission to use it. These two dairymen may be pro duced as witnesses. It may be shown by several witnesses that Farnsworth has contended that preservatives in proper Quantities are not injurious. It will also be uroven. so it is said, that Farnsworth frequently inspected dairies and milk depots, saw the empty and partially rilled bottles of "preservative.", and made no objection to its usr. The people who are fighting Farns worth believe that this evidence will convince the committee that the food inspector had full knowledge of what was goinjr on, and that he was prac tically in an alliance with the milkmen to encourage the criminal practice. When the health and sanitation com mittee meets, probably on Friday night, to take up the Farnsworth in vestigation, it is likely that the mem bers of the board of health will be present to add dignity and austerity to the occasion. It is thmieht hv snm of the counciimen that the hoard of health may really be to blame for offenses charged against Food Inspee- iur .r arnsworm, so it seems just a lit tle queer that they should take part in what may be an investigation of their own conduct. H. B. Howard, who started the fight on Farnsworth, has no intention of dropping it. He says that somebody is to blame, and that if Farnsworth can prove that he did all he could, the next thing will be to "point the guns higher." This probably means a fight on the board of health, the city physi cian, or the mayor himself. Mr. Howard said today: "An official coat of whitewash may save Farns worth his scalp just now, but it can't cover up the facts we have brought to light. We have proved the common and criminal use of preservatives in milk and other foods. We have proved that these preservatives are manufactured here in Topeka for this specific purpose. We have proved that this stuff is ped dled out promiscuously for anyone to use, without the poison label thereon as required by law. We have proved tol eration of the use of preservatives by the food inspector, and can prove his recommendation of the same. We have proved that formaldehyde and other preservatives are poisons, not only in jurious to health but dangerous to life. "We belitve that inasmuch as the food inspector is appointed for the purpose of preventing the above named abuse, our present inspector has failed in his duty, and should be removed. "When I began this Investigation it was to discover the cause of the typhoid epidemic, not as a 'fight on Farnsworth," or any other person. He intended to shield himself by the alleged harmless ness of these preservatives, and even presented letters of recommendation of their use from different sources. Seeing that this would not do with the commit tee on health and sanitation, he utterly denied all knowledge of the use of pre servatives. He also tried to implicate the committee and the council by claiming that he applied for apparatus for testing and it was refused. "If he can prove that, we will simply point our guns higher. We are after the source of this carelessness, ignorance or lawlessness and we don t care where it is." It seems to be the prevailing opinion among the members of the council that probably Mr. Farnsworth has done as well as could be expected of an official who has no technical knowledge re quired in making scientific tests of food and milk. Here the question seems to hinge. If Farnsworth has neglected what he might reasonably be expected to do with the facilities at his command, he is likely to be dismissed from his position. One member of the council said to day: "My idea is that this town is big enough to hire an expert chemist and bacteriologist to take charge of the food AN UNPLEASANT EXPERIENCE Has it ever been your unhappy lot to be told by your physician that you must go to a hospital and submit to an operation? If so, you remember with what dread and shrinking you awaited the day when you must en dure the knife. The present day surgeon appears to be possessed by a mania for ooerat- mg, especially in cases of hemorrhoids or piles, and while the greater number of the profession do not recommend this "last resort" unless they honestly believe it necessary, the fact remains that much needless operating is done, and the patient put to much expense and suffering, for what? To obtain a possible temporary re lief; these words are used advisedly, because in nine cases out of ten the affliction returns and the patient is just where he started from. Often times he could be cured much more simply and easily by the use of such a remedy as the Pyramid Pile Cure; this nas come to be recognized as the best remedy on the market for the painful disease named, and the drug gists now sell more of it than all other pile remedies combined. The writer personally knows people who were afflicted with the worst form of bleeding and protruding piles and who were permanently cured by the use of Pyramid Pile Cure. In every one of these cases the attending phy sician had assured the sufferer that only an operation could he rid himself or tne disease; so much for the infalli bility of the doctors. This remedy, which is sold by all druggists at the low price of fifty cents, is in suppository form, is ap plied directly to the parts affected, and performs its work quietly and painlessly. The Pvromirt rw-no- r Marshall, Mich., will mail free to any address a book telling all about piles or hemorrhoids, their cause, and cure. A suggestion is offered that if the renuer is amictoa, or knows anyone who is. this book be sent for. as it will ue luunu invaluable. inspection. I don't know how much it would cost. But I do not believe that we can expect to get a man for $1,000 a year, the present salary, who is able to do the work we need. Under the present conditions, I expect that Farns worth has been doing as well as anyone could." If the city goes to dickering with bacteriologists and chemists whose work is worth depending on, it might as well figure on creating a new Job with bigger pay attached than is at present given to any city officer. And when it gets such an expert, It will have to hire somebody else to do all the other work, such as Inspecting meat, weiging coal and examining dairy sta bles. It will be an expensive proposi tion.

"But what do you think you can do?" "I don't know; I never tried anything." "ro you write a good hand?" "I don't know; I couldn't say." "Do you write rapidly?" "Not very." "Will you write me a letter of appli cation, so that I may get an idea of your handwriting and general educa tion?" "I don't believe I can do that." This is the substance of a conver sation that recently took place between the forewoman in charge of the clerks In the subscription department of a popular monthly magazine and a younfr girl who had called in answer to an advertisment for additional office workers. This girl is typical of hundreds of people in New York, and in every other large city in the country, who are haunting publishers' offices, clam oring at the doors of great business houses, and wandering the streets, footsore and weary, in search of work they cannot &nd. Is it any wonder that such oeoola fail in their efforts? Is it surprising, under such conditions, that an adver tisement for a clerk at S5 or $6 a week floods the advertiser with hundreds of answers, while one for a man or wo man at $10,000 a year calls out not ona.

When we compare a Lucy Stone picking berries to earn the right to go to college, or a Lucy Larcom working in a factory at the age of ten, yet through her own un aided efforts attaining high rank as a teacher and poat, with this other girl 'iv ing in the midst of the opportunities offer ed at a great educational center, who couldn't write a simple letter; when we compare a boy of the same type with a Garfield sweeping floors and ringing bells, or an Klihu Burritt learning to translate Hebrew during the pauses of his work at the forge, we must answer that the fault is with individuals. The young people of our land are not awake to their advan tages. Gray haired men and women of middle age or more are working in offices or fac tories, side by side, with boys and girls, and for the same pittance. They failed to educate themselves. Youth is past, and they are reaping what they have sown. There are, of course, many among them who are victims of circumstances and are not really responsible for the'r present positions, but the majority are where they are because they neglected the opportuni ties that called insistently to them when they were boys and girls. Grammar schools, high schools, evening schools, lec tures and libraries offered them their treasures, but they wouid have none of them. Now they complain that they are unlucky, that fate is against them, and that others no better or worthier than they go to the top of the ladder, while they remain at the foot. From Success. THREE TIMES II. Mysterious Figures Harked iu View of Murderer's Cell. Cheyenne, Wyo., Nov. 10. Governor Chatterton will decide Tom Horn's fate on Thursday night. Deputies with a Gattling and a Hotchkiss gun are con stantly on guard at. the jail in anticipa tion of an attempt of cattlemen to re lease Horn. The threat is common that the condemned murderer will be saved from the hangman's rope. A bit of startling information has fallen into the hands of Sheriff Smalley in the form ot a piece of paper on which the figures 11-11-11 are marked and which was thrown into the court house yard where Horn could see them from his window. The same figures have been marked on buildings across the street from the jail in plain view of Horn's cell.

Will Keep Out of Judge Fight Except at Long's Bequest. Governor Bailey is taking no hand in the federal judgeship contest. He will not do so until he is called upon by Senator Long for his endorsement. When Senator Long wants his assistance to secure the appointment of the candidate he decides upon. Governor Bailey will give him his-assistance if Senator Long wishes it, for either Johnston, Pollock or Loomis. "No, I have taken no part in the judgeship matter so far," said Governor Bailey when asked about it today. "I consider the matter purely senatorial patronage and I shall not dip into it until requested by Senator Long. I have told him that if he wants my endorse ment to aid in securing the appointment of any one of the three candidates he can have it. but otherwise I am keeping out of it. I want harmony between Sen ator Long and my office, and I do not consider that' this is a place where I am called upon to make a fight. It is the senator's patronage and I will help Stn ator Long if he wishes it." This simply adds weight to the- neces sity of securing the endorsement of Senator Long. Governor Baileys en dorsement will undoubtedly have con siderable weight in the matter, and if the endorsement of Senator Long car ries with it that of Governor Bailey, it makes the former all the more import ant. ALL CAIVflE OUT. Operations in Southern Colo rado Coal Fields Suspend. Denver, Nov. 10. A dispatch received from Trinidad today says: All the miners in Huerfano countv came out today. Only about 50 men are working in. Hastings and Delagua, the Victor Fuel company's camps in Las Animas county, where 2,500 miners were employed. District President Howells says that operations in the southern coal field are practically at a standstill. 00 WALKED OUT. Cheyenne, Wyo., Nov. 10. The coal miners' strike has not assumed any great proportions in Wyoming. At Rock Springs 20 drivers and coal diggers walked out and mine No. 2, of the Sweet Water camp, was closed. At Dietz 600 men walked out. SENSES OF REPTILES. They Have Power to Divine the Presence of Water. Some surprising and noteworthy con clusions on this point have been reach ed by a German naturalist. Werner of Vienna, who has recently reported the results of observations that he has been making for some time on the senses of inferior vertebrates. Says the Revue Scientifique in noting these results: On certain points the conclusions of M. Werner are very surprising, and in all they are worthy of notice. Werner has observed 136 individuals, of which one-third were at liberty, and he took all possible precautions not to let the creatures know that they were watched. One general fact is very evident that reptiles and amphibians are strongly attracted by water. They go straight for it, even when they are at distances so great that they could not divine its presence by any of the senses known to us. It seems really that a sense of which we have no knowledge informs them of the direction iu which water may be found. There seems to be a sort of chemical attraction, says M. Werner. But how does this act, and on what part of the creature? This remains a mysterv. Rep tiles also seek the light, but Independ ently of heat; they are positively helio tropic, and in winter they often leave a comfortable and warm retreat to seek the sunlight. Sight is generally good with them. It is probably the finest sense that they possess, but it would still appear to be very limited. The caymans and the crocodiles cannot dis tinguish a man at a distance of more than six times their length, according to Werner. In the water fishes see only at very close range about half their own length. This will seem, perhaps, unlikely to anglers, although some of them can cite instan5es showing that fish cannot see far. Snakes seem to iave a very mediocre sense of sight. The boa, for instance, does not see at more than a quarter or-a third of its own length: different species are limit ed to one-fifth or one-eighth of their length. Frogs are better off; they see at fifteen or twenty times their length. Frog catchers know this from exper ience. Hearing is much poorer than sight, if possible. Most reptiles are noticeably deaf, except caymans and crocodiles; the boa anpears to be absolutely so. Literary Digest. An Advance in Carpets. New York, Nov. 10.

Trick of Journeymen Who Want to Get Even With Their Boss. "These are easy days for the custom tailor," said one of the trade. "We have very little, if any, trouble with our men. "Twenty-five years ago the journey men tailors could put a man out of busi ness, and they sometimes did it, too, just by a little cunning use of the goose. Suppose they were not satisfied with the wages, or they had some other grievance and wished to get even. There is a way a tailor can do that and we cannot pre vent it. "In cutting cloth for garments we al ways leave a little margin all around to allow for alterations and for seams. Now, when the cloth is damp, the tailor need only let the hot iron rest a little longer than is absolutely necessary bn the cloth near the edge and the cloth is stretched so that when made up the garment is wrinkled; and when the cus tomer comes to try it on there is trou ble right away. The thing has to be ta ken apart and made over again, and sometimes an entirely new section of cloth has to be used. "The customer gets it into his head that you are a botch and he may with draw his custom. You may be morally certain that the tailors are after you and are stretching the cloth, but. how are you going to prove it? "I have known of two or three cus tom tailors who have practically been made to give up. business in this way. There were other -ca'asis' mixed .with their failure, but the tailor behind the iron- was at the"t)Ottom "of it all. "I even know one man who was driven out of business in.vthiee cities. He had offended the men who worked for him, and when he moved they kept track of him and made it their business to get the men working for him in his new field to do as they had done. "It used to be a common thing for one custom tailor to say'to another when he heard things were not going right with him: 'Irons?' It is of no use to try to explain such things to one's onatrimers for theV think you are try ing to cover up your own clumsiness and lay the blame on some on else. "But there is very little of this un derhand business now. I don't know that I have had a case of willful stretching of cloth come under my nor tice in ten years. The men are fairer," New York Sun.

Packing House Employes Hare No Place to Cash Checks. The closing of the salooris" in Kansas City, Kan., has passed a question up to the attorney general's office for an opin ion which may affect the method of payment by the packing houses and other big employers of labor in Kansas City. The packing houses pay off with checks, and it has been the custom of many laboring men to cash their cheeks in saloons. This is, of course, a good thing for the saloons, because a man will not cash a check in a saloon with out talcing a little of it for a drink, and the chances are that if he takes one drink he is likely to leave a considerable portion of his week's earning in the saloon. Now the saloons are closed and some of these laboring men complain that they have no place to cash their checks, as the DanKS are open ouiy when they are at work, and they want to compel their employers to pay them in cash instead "of by check. The matter has been taken up with W. A. L. -Johnson, state labor commis sioner, who passes it up to uie attorney general's department., In a letter to the attorney general mr, jouusuu ucl the case as follows: "I am requested by the organization of the packing house employes, of which there are several thousand in this state, to know whether or not there-is a law requiring the payment of '(Vages in lawful money of the United States weekly, and they relate to me that they are pai'1 off in checks, and that the custom has been hereto fore to cash checks in saloons and stores, wherein the consideration of such courtesies being that the holders ef the checks make some sort of pur chases, and that now in the complete prohibition that obtains Jn Kansas City,-Kas., and the closing of the sa loons, a very large number of the men are inconvenienced in the cashing of their checks for the reason that the banks are not open after working hours, and that many of them are compelled to lay off and lose time to get checks cashed. The attorney general's force- is now investigating the law on the subject. A statute passed by the legislature of 1893 is Resigned to compel the payment of wages weekly in cash, but railroads and creameries are exempted from its provisions, and this might make it un constitutional if anybody should want to fight it. It seems peculiar that the men can not get their checks cashed in the stores. In Tooeka many merchants make a specialty of cashing pay checks immediately after pay day in. the Santa Fe shops, and the merchants of Kansas City, Kaa., would doubtless be glad to do the same. If a man wished money to make a purchase the mer chant from whom he desired to make it would doubtless cash his check for him. DIED'IN BASEMENT. An Aged Woman Worth Half a Mil lion Dollars. New York. Nov. 10. Mrs.' Mary Oliver, a widow S6 years old, has been found dead in the squalid basement of a tenement house in Second ave nue, Harlem, where she had lived as a recluse for twenty-five years. When the police searched the place they found United States bonds and other securities to the value of $50,000. Neighbors say the woman's estate is valued at more than half a million dollars. Her death was from natural caused. Hardly a dozen feef from the spot where the old woman lay, the police found James Alderdiee, an old man who had for years collected the rents from a number of houses owned by Mrs. Oliver and attended to all her business, who was dying, from an apooletic stroke. Mrs. Oliver had lived and died sur rounded by the dust and dirt of years-. The -two rooms which she made her home, the rest of the house having been vacant for years, were filled with boxes and bundles of papers, old bot tles and pieces of furniture carefully wrapped with newspapers to keep out the dust. The nolice made a search of an hour in the rooms. Most of the boxes ap peared to contain only old newsnapers. There was bundle after bundle of cards and posters announcing dances, balls, parties and excursions, collect ing the notices of which was appar ently a hobby of the old woman. In a trunk were found bonds, mortgages and other valuable-papers. It is said Mrs. Oliver was a native of England and had two married daughters in Brooklyn. They seldom saw her. however.
