This was considered sufficient to per mit France to accept with a reserva tion excepting Manchuria, but Russia's formal action awaits submission for The Bhikeshima, Favorite the approval of the czar, and owing to the pressure of the war operations its submission has been deferred although it is expected daily. The foreign office here has been advised of Italy's accept ance. General Porter has been highly prais ed for the tactful and able manner in which he conducted the negotiations with the French government, resulting In France being the first European country to assent to the propositions contained in the American note The prompt action of France unquestiona bly exerted considerable influence in in ducing other powers to give adhesion to the note.

Thirteen Picked Up Behind the Wall Where Dewey Stood. Revolver Taken from Body of Burch Berry Never Fired. C. M. Saulmon Is Arrested Charge of Perjury. on Norton, Kan., Feb. 18. In the Dewey case this morning L. D. Hotchkiss, county attorney of Cheyenne, exhibited the revolver taken from Burch Berry after he was killed. As shown it had not been discharged and all the cham bers were full. Hotchkiss said he picked up seven Winchester discharged shells and five Savage shells and one loaded Savage cartridge, all found be hind the sod wall. Under the shoulder of Alpheus Berry he had found a cartridge that had come from a rifle similar to that identified as belonging to the defendants. E. A. Young, a gunsmith, identified one of the rifles supposed to have be longed to one of the defendants. With the introduction of Captain Cunningham's testimony late this aft ernoon the state will close its side of the case. An additional feature crept in the trial Wednesday afternoon when Chas. M. Saulmon, one of the state's wit nesses, was arrested during the noon hour on the charge of perjury. Saul mon was Immediately released on bond. Just before court adjourned for din ner, the state called Saulmon to the witness stand. He formerly worked at the Dewey ranch. He was asked if, while he was employed at the ranch, he had not heard Chauncey Dewey make threats against the Berrys. "No," he answered. The state's attorneys made no effort to conceal their surprise. Mr. Coleman, the attorney general, showed Saulmon a paper, supposedly signed by Saulmon, which said that he (Saiilraonl had heard the ranch sup erintendent threaten the Berrys. "Didn't you sign that paper and ac knowledge It to be your signature in the presence of Mr. Hotchkiss and Gen eral Colby?" "I did not," was the positive answer. Saulmon was told to sign his name up on another piece- of paper. He was then excused. The warrant and his ar rest followed. The testimony Wednesday afternoon brought out for the first time the na ture of the wounds of Burchard B. Berry, Daniel P. Berry and Alpheus Berry. It was shown that Burch and Alpheus were both shot in the back of the head, the ball coming out near Burch's mouth and under Alpheus chin. The old man was shot in the abdomen, the bullet ranging down ward toward the left hip. The shots in the back of the heads of the two brothers are looked upon as particular ly damaging to the defendants. The defense, however, has gained a point in the description of the wound of Burch Berry. It will be remembered that Beach Berry testified that McBride shot Burch while behind the water tank, which is only three feet high, and that McBrlde's rifle rested on the tank. If this is true, McBrlde's bullet must have taken its course upwards, wherets Burch's wound shows that the ball went almost straight through the head, with just a slight depression. Edwin Phillips, farmer, once lawyer, member of the coroner's jury that view ed the bodies, testified positively that the dead horse found on the battle ground was close up to the mud fence. This is a point in favor of the defense, as it is understood that it will be said by the defendants that the first shot was fired by Beach Berry at Dewey, but that the bullet killed the young ranchman's horse by his side. This, however, is only speculation, because at no time has anything been said by Dew ey or his lawyers as to what will be contended by them in their defense. The state has announced that it has only three other witnesses. Late in the afternoon Robert McCul loch, sheriff of Cheyenne county, and his deputies were called to the witness stand. The sheriff had with him a small-sized arsenal. It consisted of two Winchester rifles, a Savage rifle and three Colt's revolvers of almost the largest caliber. The three officers testi fied that they arrested Dewey, Wilson and McBride and took their revolvers from them. The prisoners were taken to Colby for fear of mob violence by the settlers at the ranch. On the way to Colby the prisoners were allowed to carry weapons for protection in case there was an at tack on the way. In Colby, however, the guns and revolvers were surrender ed to the sheriff. None of the officers could positively identify any one of the revolvers or guns as belonging to Dew ey, McBride or Wilson. A SETBACK TO GEOLOGY. Loss of Prof. Beecber Renders Tale Specimens a Sealed Boot. New Haven, Conn., Feb. IS. The death of Professor Charles Beecher, head of the department of geology in Yale, has set back for years the hope of identifying the thousands of invalu able specimens secured by Professor Othniel Marsh thirty years ago and dumped in the vaults of Peabody museum. Professor Marsh died before they were unpacked. His successor. Professor Beecher, was the only man who could identify them and his death has made a journey to the Peabody museum vaults as much a trip of ex ploration as the original voyages of dis covery when Professor Marsh secured the specimens.

CHANCE FOR QUEEN LIL Senate Will Reconsider Bill to Pay Her 8150,000. Washington, Feb. 18. When the sen ate met today Mr. Hoar made request for the extension until Monday of the time for the motions to reconsider votes which had been cast last Monday and no objection being entered the order was made. The order is in the interest of the bill t"o pay $150,000 t ex-Queen Lilioukalani, which it is understood will be reopened by a motion to reconsider. A few minutes later Mr. Tillman, who voted against the Lilioukalani bill en tered the motion to reconsider, saying that he did so because the friends of the bill considered that "snap judg ment" had been taken. The motion was not taken up for consideration. The senate also adopted the joint resolution directing the secretary of commerce and labor to inquire into the claim of the Wales Island Packing company on account of the recent de cision of the Alaskan boundary com mission concerning Wales island, In Portland canal, Alaska. The senate then adopted without ob jection a resolution offered by Mr. Morgan calling upon the president to i supply such information as he may i have relative to the present state or organization of the government of the republic of Panama, a copy of the con stitution of said republic, and to inform the senate as to any ordinance or other proceedings of the constitutional con vention recently in session at Panama relating to the Hay-Varilla treaty." Mr. Spooner than spoke on the isth mian canal question. He defended the president against attacks upon his course in connection with the rebellion In Panama, and said that the criticism of the present executive is not severer than that of his predecessors, and pre dicted that he would be fully vindi cated by history as his predecessors had been.

Richard Duffy, her husband, was fatally stabbed on the night of January 1 in front of a Bowery resort, and before his death said that the wounds had been inflicted by Charles Devuno. The police used every effort to capture Devuno, but in spite of a full description given by Duffy were unable to do so. His wife, however, undiscouraged, kept up the search without remission. She patrolled the Bowery, visited haunts Devuno was wont to frequent, shadowed his friends and even watched railroad stations and steamship piers in her attempt to find him. Last night she saw the man enter a hotel on the Bowery and no tified the police, who arrested Devuno after a struggle. He had been in Pitts burg since the murder, it was said. Devuno, who with Duffy, Is said to have been prominent in the "gang" life on the lower East side, was arraigned today on a charge of homicide. limited is Cashed.

Old Friends Stand Along Street With Uncovered Heads. Cleveland, Feb. 18. All that remains mortal of the late Senator Hanna ar rived in this city, his home city, today over the Pennsylvania railroad.

A large crowd was assembled about the depot when the train arrived. At Salem members of Governor Herrick's staff Joined the funeral party, of which the governor had been a member from Washington. When the members of his staff joined him at Salem, near the state line, Governor Herrick in the name of the commonwealth extended to the be reaved family the condolence of all Ohio. The place where this sad rite was performed seemed indeed a fitting one, for it was at Lisbon, in Colum biana county, near Salem, that Senator Kanna was born. There he began his career. When the train came to a stop the first to leave it was Governor Herrick, followed by his staff. The chamber of commerce committee alighted, followed by members of the funeral party.

The hand some black casket, completely covered with flowers, was then taken from the car through one of the large windows by trainmen and received by pall bear ers, who carried the body through the depot and deposited it in the funeral car. Troop A, which will act as escort at the funeral, was at the depot, drawn up in two platoons when the train ar rived. When the 'easke hai.- been placed in the funeral car and the mem bers of the committee and friends had been assigned carriages, the cortege headed by a platoon of police, follow ed by troop A, on black horses, moved for the chamber of commerce building where the body will lie in state until Friday noon. All along the line of inarch the reverence, respect and love felt for the dead senator was shown. Men stood with heads bared in almost blinding snow storm while the cortege passed and many eyes were filled with tears. At the chamber of commerce building an immense crowd awaited the coming of the cortege. The chamber auditor ium, where the body now lies in state is appropriately draped for the occa sion. AT PITTSBURG. Pittsburg, Feb. 18. The train bringing the remains of Senator Hanna arrived at the union station at 7 o'clock this morning and 35 minutes later continued on its journey to Cleveland. When the train reached Pittsburg all on board were sleeping but the under taker and the colored porters. On account of the early hour and cold weather, but few persons were at the station. A squad of police guarded the train until its departure from the city. MANY AT ALLIANCE. Alliance, O., Feb. 18.

The body of the late Dr. Carl A. Swensson will reach Lindsborg from Los Angeles Friday. It will be accom panied by Dr. Abrahamson of Chicago, and Mayor Thorstenberg of Lindsborg, who were with Dr. Swensson when he died. The funeral services will be held on Tuesday in the Bethany auditorium, where the Bethany concerts are always held. It is likely that the railroads will run special trains from different points in central Kansas to carry the people who will wish to pay their last respects to the lamented Swedish lead er. The body will lie in state in the audi torium from 9 o'clock in the morning till 1 in the afternoon on Tuesday, and the funeral service will be held at 2 o'clock. The services will be in charge of Dr. Norelius of Minnesota, president of the Swedish Luthern synod of North America. The "Messiah" chorus of 800 voices, will sing at the funeral. The active pall bearers will be the dea cons of the Swedish Lutheran church at Lindsborg, of which Dr. -Swensson old, ana tne faculty or Kecnany couege-i will be the honorary pall bearers, "The trustees of Bethany college will not, of course, consider the matter of a successor to Dr. Swensson as president of Bethany until after the funeral, but the first name which comes to the gen eral public as the probable successor of Dr. Swensson is that of Frank Nelson, former state superintendent of public instruction. Next to Dr. Swensson the greatest Swedish leader of this part of the west, at least, is doubtless Prof. Nelson, and aside from his fame as an educator he holds a high place in the regard of the Swedish people. At present the college is under the direction of the vice presi dent. Prof. Ernest Pihlblad, and It may be jthat the trustees may advance Prof. Pihlblad or some other member of the Bethany faculty to the presidency, but the person who is most suggested for the place is Prof. Nelson.

ALLEN GETS THEM Ottawa Editor Will Have the Bourbon Delegation. Bowersock Supporters Give Up Plan to Bolt. HORNADAY AT HEAD. Will Be Leader of State and Congressional Delegations. W. I. -Hackney's Unique An nouncement of His Candidacy. The Bourbon county convention Wed nesday afternoon instructed for H. J. Allen for congressman In the Second district, and there will be no contest ing delegation. The Bowersock sup porters concluded that there were no grounds on which a valid bolt could be made, and the plan was abandoned. The convention was for Allen by a vote of 135 to 106, and the congressional del egation was Instructed for him. The state delegation was instructed for Hoch for governor, and Judge J. S. West for justice of the supreme court. For judge of the district court the con vention instructed for Judge Walter T. Simons. Grant Hornaday heads both the state and congressional delegations. From that fact it seems quita likely that the state delegation will also be against T. T. Kelly for state treasurer. Kelly was tied up with the Bowersock people and his crowd was the one that went down in defeat. Three Republican candidates for state senators were nominated Wed nesday. In the big Thirty-ninth dis trict, which takes in all the western end" of the Sixth congressional district. Senator Charles Buschow of Colby was renominated by acclamation. The con vention was held at Colby. Frank Mo Lain of Ellis county was elected chair man, and R. M. Jaqua was secretary of the convention. Buschow has always stood with the Burton forces. In the Fortieth district, comprised ot Smith, Phillips and Norton counties, W. H. Haskell of Gaylord, Smith coun ty, was nominated on the tenth ballot. The convention met at Smith Center. Up to the ninth ballot Phillips county voted for Fred Morse of Phillips coun ty, and Norton voted for F. M. Lock ard of Norton, but on the tenth ballot Morse withdrew and Phillips went to Haskell, so there was nothing for Lock -ard to do but to follow Morse, and Haskell was therefore nominated by. acclamation on the tenth ballot, rnis is looked upon as a Burton defeat. Lockard stood with Burton forces. while Haskell was one of Governor Bailey's appointees on the penitentiary V. 3 f --ntv-flrst senatorial' district J. N. Dolley of Maple Hill, Wabaunsee county, was nominated for senator Dy acclamation. The convention was held at Manhattan. Senator George W. Mc Knight of Junction City was not a candidate for renomination and there was no opposition to. Dolley, as It was Wabaunsee county's turn to name the senator. The district is made up of Riley, Geary and Wabaunsee counties. Mr. Dolley is vice president of the "anti-machine" machine. W. P. Hackney announces himself as a candidate for the legislature from the northern district of Cowley county as an anti-Burton candidate, and the indications are that his crowd will de feat the "anti-machine" element, which is headed by E. P. Greer. nacKney announcement is as follows: "I am a candidate for the legislature from this district against J. R. Burton, E P Greer, the Courier, the world, the flesh and 'the devil. I am no quitter and am in the race to stay until I am sworn in as a member of the next house of representatives." J E. Stevens of Goodland announces that he will defer his congressional candidacy two years, but he serves no tice that he will be a candidate for Congressman Reeder's place in 1906. Mr. Stevens heads the Sherman county delegation to the congressional conven tion This means that Congressman Reeder' will be renominated by accla mation at Beloit next Friday. John W. Breidenthal, who Is the best political organizer who ever opposed the Republicans in Kansas, was in To peka this week- long enough to make a speech before the State Temperance union. Although he was at the head of the Populist state central commit tee for a number of years, he told a State Journal reporter that he has learned some new things about poli tics since he went to Wyandotte coun ty, where he is now managing a trust company. Wiley Cook, who was as sistant state auditor under George E. Cole, is treasurer of Mr. Breidenthal's company and is taking an active part in Wyandotte county Republican poli tics. He was a candidate for delegate to the recent county convention, but was defeated by a colored man. In talking with a colored voter afterwards the voter said: "The trouble with you, Mistah Cook, is dat you don' wuk. The othah man gib me two dollahs an" a half, and you didn't give me nuthin'." Mr. Breidenthal's trust company con tinues to extend its string of banks. It now has eleven. Whenever it organizes a new one it calls it the "Citizens" bank.

I was in such a weakened, exhausted, run down c ndition that 1 was unable to do my housework. I felt too weak and tired to even make calls on my neighbors. Fre quently when out driving I would become so exhausted that it seemed that I would die before I reached home. I was also troubled with sinking spells at night which left me so weak that I thought I could not live until morning. I was in this deplorable condition when one day Dr. Miles' Nervine was brought to my notice. I had little faith in proprietary remedies but determined to give the Nervine a trial. After the second dose of the Restorative Nervine I was able to sit at the table and eat a meal, something I had been unable to do for many days. I have since taken a number of bottles of Nervine.

Sajs Young Corbett Gets the Best 'Frisco Dates. IT IS DISCRIMINATION. Declares Authorities Won't Gire Him a Show. Is Going to Enter a Suit in the Courts at Once. San Francisco, Feb. 18. If Jim Neil, father of the bantamweight champion, is able to carry certain plans of his to a successful termination there will be no more boxing of any character In San Francisco. "You mark my word," said Neil last night, "there will bevno more fights In San Francisco. There will be no Britt Corbett fight, there will be no Sullivan Corbett fight. I have been done tor the last time. Within a week I will enter suit against the game in Sewall's court and If my point carries that will be the end of the fight game here. "I thought that I was going to get the March permit. I was entitled to it, but they took it away from me. That was not so bad if I could get the April date, but now they have set the Britt Corbett match on the Last day of March which spoils things for April. This fel low Young Corbett comes out from the east and gets December, February and March permits. I have lived here ail my life, my boy is champion, and I don't get a look-in. I'll fix them." JEFF KEEPS IN CONDITION. Big Fellow May Want to Fight Sharkey or Munroe. New York, Feb. 18. Billy Delaney, Champion Jim Jeffries' trainer, is keep ing the big fighter on the move these days. When Delaney reached New York from Frisco a few daj's ago he was dissatisfied with Jeffries' appear ance and he at once advised that the boilermaker get down to work and take off a few dozen pounds of the ex tra flesh he has put on since he fought Jim Corbett in San Francisco. Jeffries has been working less than a week and already the good effects of the exercise are evident. Jeffries had a lively set to yesterday with Joe Kennedy, his sparring part ner. Altogether they boxed ten rounds. Jeff told Kennedy to cut loose and the big Californian landed some pretty good wallops on the champion, but the conquerer of both Corbett and Fitz simmons took It all good-naturedly and did not try to take advantage of the westerner. Jeffries finished the bout not the least bit exhausted. He was well pleas ed with his condition and his manager, Billy Delaney, said that his protege was in good condition and that a few weeks' work would put him In excel lent shape to enter the ring. From now until the: SharKey-Monroe battle Jeffries vwill continue to do light training and in the event of the match being arranged between himself and the winner he will jump right Into his training quarters to put on the finish ing touches in short order. The defeat of either Tom Sharkey or Jack Munroe in their six-round battle at Philadelphia will not be due to lack of condition. The rival heavyweights are training with all the vigor and de termination characteristic of the suc cessful boxer and each day finds them in better physical condition for the fray. Sharkey put in another busy day yes terday at Sheepshead Bay. With his trainers, Spike Sullivan and Tom Carey the sailor took a ten mile jog over the roads and despite the hot pace he set finished the journey without being winded. The stiff pace worked up a good perspiration and when the sailor reached his training quarters he lost no time in getting into a warm room. He then stripped and received a rub down. During the afternoon Sharkey spent an hour In the gymnasium punching the bag and sparring with Sullivan and Carey. Munroe is a busy man also these days. He has no less than three train ing camps. In the morning he takes up his quarters at Johnston's road house, on Jerome avenue. His road work yesterday consisted of a long jog through Van Courtland park. On his return Munroe was well taken care of by his trainers. In the afternoon Mun roe journeyed downtown to Prof. Atil ia's gymnasium, where he took a physi cal culture course for an hour. When this work was completed Munroe visit ed Kid McCoy's gymnasium, where he put on the gloves with the Hoosier box er. It Is here where the interesting work begins. Munroe is learning many valuable tricks from McCoy which he believes will serve him to good ad vantage when he meets Sharkey. Browns Sign Pitcher Glads. St. Louis, Feb. 18.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL THURSDAY EVENING. FEBRUARY 16; 1904. -A A mi nw' --''-J-iffa-r ""-"'nan mth RAILROADNEVS. Sensational Charges Against tonsressional Committee. frank Barry Say It "Stone Wall." Is a TO PROTECT RAILROADS Kafuses to Report an Important Reform Measure. Pays 'o Heed to Petitions from 500,000 Shippers. Frank Barry, commissioner of the na tional board of trade and secretary of the interstate commerce law conven tion, makes the charge publicly fhat the congressional committee on interstate and foreign commerce is organized into a "stone wall" to prevent any legisla tion which is distasteful to the rail roads. The charge is made in connection with the efforts which the organizations rep resented by Mr. Barry are making to procure the passage of the Cooper and Quarles bills amending the interstate commerce law so as to give the inter state commerce commission the rate making power. Mr. Barry in an Inter view yesterday said: "I am perfectly confident that our bill would pass the house by an overwhelm ing vol-? if the committeee on interstate and foreign commerce, in the hand? of which it nows rests, might be prevailed upon to consider and report a measure. Thus far, however, a majority of that committee has refused to accord us so much as a hearing, and its chairman and several of the influential members assert that they will not consent to spend any time on the subject, being wearied with the importunities of the public during the past few sessions of congress. The committee is so consti tuted that its majority stands as a 'stone wall' to prevent any legislation which may be disapproved by the rail roads of th country." After asserting that the transporta tion tax was in the hands of a few peo ple whom the United States government could not control. Mr. Barry declared: "The people kr.ow that, merely upon the principle 'we need the money.' the rallrrads have within the last three years made e-nral advances in rates, which in brought a revenue of $142.0-O'Oo mre than they received for the same service in rj'O." The power of of struction alleged to be wielded by the railroads, according to Sir. Barry, is shown by the fact that no attention has been pail by the commit tee in question to the resolutions adopt- CURED TO STAY CURED BY White Ribbon Remedy Bo taste.

OFFICIALS PICK FLAWS. Tell Why the Annual Fan for Em ployes Is Unwise. Chicago, 111., Feb. IS. Many of the railroad3 having their general offices in Chicago have had their attention called by their employes to the recent action of the general manager of the Southern railway, who proposes to fur nish engineers and conductors with annual passes of the road on the basis of service. Those who have been five years in the service are to be given annuals good over the division on which they are employed; those hav ing ten years to their credit are to re ceive annuals good over the entire line, and for those who have served fifteen years their wives will be includ ed in the privilege. The general manager of the South ern railway is of the opinion that bet ter results will be obtained through the hearty co-operation of his men, but there are many railroad executives in Chicago who hold this action to be ill advised. They see in it another con cession to the men. which will encour age them to demand still more. That these demands in the past, have frequently been unwarranted cannot be disputed, say managers, and each concession thus secured has seemed to incite rather than restrain other de mands. It Is therefore declared by these objectors that to magnify the importance of the men by a voluntary contribution of this sort will have a. tendency to increase their wants. It is aiso thought that with the means at hand to permit it the men would lay off more frequently for the purpose of visiting other places and that in con sequence the sendee would suffer. Railroad men say that it is fairly open to question whether the method adopted by the Southern railway is wise. It is not supposed that the simple granting of annual passes to conductors and engineers will cause any deeper loyalty than at present. One of the Chicago general managers iiiu tins to sa.v: "The important question to which railway managers should give their best thought is how the personal loyalty of the men to the road upon which they are employed can be gained. It is not supposed that the simple granting of annual passes to conductors and engineers will produce that result, but it is an indication that consideration is being given to the question. There is no man who is worth .anything who does not like to have his personality recognized. One of the severest punishments in connec tion with the penitentiary is that an inmate ceases to be a man and be comes simply a number. While not carried to any such extreme in any railroad sendee, there is a tendency in railroad operation to sink the individ ual in the mass. We venture to say that an order issued by the general manager of the Southern railway to the effect that all engineers and con ductors would be carried free on any train of the system would not be half as much appreciated by the individual as the receipt of an annual with his name t-iereon. TESTING LIGNITE FUEL. Burlington rinds a Substitute for Bi tuminous Coal Fuel. The Rnrlinif on m1mi.l l nil.-:...- n test of lignite coal in its locomotives. The recent coal strike in Colorado has convinced tne company that to depend on bituminous coal for fuel is an ex ample of confidence in labor conditions here that is unnecessary. The road runs into the Lafayette coal fields in northern Colorado. From this source a large amount of coal will be taken Tor fuel for the engines. The tests of coal from these fields is being made under the direction of Supt. Frank Harris. This month's performance sheets will show how the lignite com pares with the bituminous coaL for merly used. Mr. Harris believes the lignite coal will make excellent fuel, but it will be necessary to rebuild the fireboxes of the engines if it is used permanently. It does not require so much draft as the bituminous coal and there is need for considerable hariin .i i-gme grates and fireboxes before it is uumc-i w me nest advantage. For this reason the results shown bv the per formance sheets this month will not be conclusive. They will merely be used as a basis upon which to pred icate estimates that will either reject the coal altogether or influence the management in having certain engines of the system rebuilt to burn tne ia favette coal. The car of coal shipped from the Leyden mine early this week has been used in the Burlington engines with a view of testing the product of the Ley den mines. The Denver, Northwestern Pacific railroad will use this coal ex clusively in its engines. The manage ment of the road is interested in hav ing a comparative test made that will indicate to them what treatment is best suited for the proper handling of the coal in their locomotives. HEBE'S A PESSIMIST. E. B. Thomas Saya Railroads Are All Losing Money. E. B. Thomas, president of the Le high Valley road, is rather pessimistic regarding the railroad situation. In speaking of it he said: "I intend to make very little outlay that is not absolutely necessary. In fact, I will not spend 5 cents that is not required. This has been a phenomenal ly bad year so far for all railroads. do not think that many of the trunk lines will earn their fixed charges for the months of January and February. Everything seems to go wrong this year. There have been big accidents, with great loss of life; high water, and now the war. which is enough to unset tie many things. "Business continues to be good, but until there is a moderation of the weather I am going to sail very close to the wind. Our business is better than ever before. Twenty years ago none of the railroad officials expected to make any money during the months of Janu ary and February. Business always falls off at this time, but this year con ditions have also been against us." Mr. Thomas ascribes present condi tions largely to the severe cold weather and the unusually heavy snowfall. He said the Lehigh Valley was not con templating any bond issue. KAIY MAKES A GAIN.

Miss Nellie Howard and Miss Helen Kimber, the Kansas young women who were sent to Chicago six weeks ago with an exhibit of Kansas farm products, were in Kan sas City yesterday afternoon. Miss Kimber is well known in Kansas for her work in behalf of woman suffrage. The expenses of the trip to Chicago and the cost of the exhibition, given in the Great Northern hotel, were de frayed by the counties of Pawnee, .Ford, Thomas, Kiowa, Pratt, Gove, Irego, Norton, Wallace, ixgan ana Greeley. The young women were lib erally compensated for their services in advertising the agricultural products of Kansas, the money to be devoted to the work of the Kansas Woman's Ba zaar association.

The Fourth YTard Councilman Makes a Rerelation. Three Drinks of Whisky Sold Before His Eyes. THE BILLIARD HALLS. Says That All Hare Joints In Connection. Mr. Howe's Plan of Toted Down. Ileform The attention of Chief of Police Mc Collum is respectfully invited to Coun cilman Luther M. Nellis, who an nounced to the council at the meeting last night that he went into the Throop hotel joint the other day and saw three drinks of whisky sold and saw the money paid over. This is mighty good evidence. Mr. Nellis dropped several other hints which might be of service to the chief. He .stated that In a room next to the Copeland hotel billiard hall be was creditably informed that beer was be ing sold. He also asserted positively that a Joint was toeing run in connection with every billiard hall in town. Mr. Nellis seems to possess a lot of Infor mation which would be of use to the chief, and the two should get together ana taiK it over. All of the important disclosures by the junior member from the Fourth. ward were made in connection with a heated argument concerning the license on billiard tables. Nellis is very radi cal on this subject. He wants to license the billiard halls out of existence, and did his best in this line a few months ago by presenting and advocating an ordinance which was so strict that the district court landed one on its jaw in the first round which completely dis qualified it for further use as an or dinance of the city of Topeka. Last night Councilman Kutz of the First ward introduced a new billiard hall ordinance providing for a milder schedule of licenses. It was drawn up by License Collector Page, and ap proved by the license committee. It provided for a monthly tax of $1.50 on each billiard table, with a yearly rate of $15, and no license to be issued for less than three months. "I move to amend this ordinance, said Councilman Nellis at the first op- year. less than 12 months. Every billiard hall in thi3 town has a Joint in connec tion, and I believe we should treat the matter accordingly." Not all of the billiard nails have joints." corrected Councilman Griley. Well, most of them do. said Mr. Nellis. "Just the other day I was in the Hotel Throop joint, and saw three drinks of whisky sold and the money paid over. And at the Copeland hotel, they have a billiard hall, and a joint in the next room, and a friend of mine tells me that he has bought beer there since January 1. Mr. Nellis decided, on the advice of friends, to make his amendments to the ordinance one at a time. He first moved that the license be made $18 a year, straight, no discount for cash. Some of the councilmen thought that it would be wise to adopt the sugges tions of the license collector without any changes, and make it $15 a year. Councilman Kutz, who Introduced the ordinance, thought so. "We don't want to run any risk of having this ordin ance knocked out by the district court," he said. On the vote, a roll call was demand ed, and Kutz, Griley, Snyder, Neil and Weber voted to sustain the committee's ordinance for a $15 license, while Wolf, Nellis, Howe, Shimer, Swendson and Tincher voted for the $1S amendment, carrying it. Then Mr. Nellis, to make it as costly as possible for the billiard hall men. moved that no license be issued for less than a year. "Why, up in Jewell City," said Nel lis. "they charge $100 license for the first billiard table put in." "Guess they don't have any billiard tables." said Councilman Weber. "No, you bet they don't," assented Mr. Neins. The council would not stand for the year limit, however, and it was decided to make six months the minimum. The last section of the ordinance provided for a fine of from $5 to $300 a3 penalty for violating the ordinance. This was regarded as rather too steep, and the maximum was cut down to $50. In this form the ordinance was passed, and it is likely that the city will now begin to get a little revenue from billiard halls, which, as a result of Councilman Nellis' mistake policy of exorbitant licenses, have been pay ing nothing for the past six months. APPROPRIATION SYSTEM ADOPTED. Although united in the general sup port of the proposed system of financial reform proposed by Councilman S. T. Howe of the Fifth ward, there was some difference of opinion among the mem bers of the council as to how the thing should be carried out. and as a result, Mr. Howe's proposed scheme was changed considerably. "It's all right," said Mr. Howe after the council had finished shooting holes in his plan. "What I was after was the adoption of this appropriation sys tem, and as I got that I am satisfied." The council decided that the work of making the appropriations for the vari ous departments shall be done by the ways and means committee, assisted by the" mayor and city clerk, instead of by a special committee of three, as Mr. Howe suggested, to be known as the appropriation committee. Some of the councilmen seemed to think that every ward should have a representative on the committee, and when that plan was llffA Tbis Shield os Hi Box f Why take die risk of a "just as good" when you can get a genuine Wels bach mantle for 1 5, 20, 25.30.35c All Dealers. 8T r ri ir fi'wti"saAofjJ vnmi i uwwwwvs RHEUMATISM IN Mrs. E.

The ways and means committee is composed of Councilmen Neil, Ryder, Griley, Nellis, Howe and Swendson. It was also decided that the appropria tions made to the different departments shall not be made by an ordinance, but shall simply stand in the form of an es timate by the committee, which the various departments shall be required to keep within. It is probable that the new plan of handling the expenditure of city money will begin with the fiscal year, which begins on April X. Between now and that time, the ways and means com mittee will require from the head of each department an estimate on the expenses of that department for the year. The committee wiil then prune these estimates if they can see an op portunity, and tell the departments how much money they can have for the year. The following Is the Howe plan, in the form which it passed the council: Whereas, It is provided by section 181 of the charter act governing cities of the first class "that no indebtedness shall be incurred nor order nor warrant of indebtedness of the city drawn or issued on the treasury in payment of any indebetedness to exceed the amount of funds on hand In the treas ury at the time, except for building sidewalks, or where provision for the issuance of bonds has been made," and Whereas, It is provided by section 95 of said act that officers and employes of the city shall be personally liable for the creation of any indebtedness con trary to the provisions of said act or the ordinances of the city; and Whereas, In order to comply with the provisions of said charter act as afore said it is imperative that the expendi tures of the city shall not exceed re ceipts; and Whereas, A proper management of the financial affairs of the city would seem to require that the probable cash receipts of the current fiscal year be estimated as closely as possible in or der that the sum may be divided among the several city departments according to their respective needs; therefore be it Resolved by the Mayor and Council of the City of Topeka: First That the problems involved are of so great importance that the subject should have the careful study and work of a committee. Second That it shall be the duty of the ways and means committee in con nection with the mayor and city clerk, and it is hereby authorized to demand from each city department an estimate of the ordinary requirements of such departments for the months of the cur rent fiscal year and also, as near as may be ascertained from previous ex perience, an estimate of the probable extraordinary expenditures that will occur. Third That the committee shall carefully consider all such estimates and shall have power to revise the same by adding to or deducting there from as its judgment may dictate so that the expenditures shall not exceed the receipts of the fiscal year. Fourth That when it is ascertained what amounts may be safely appropri ated to the respective departments, it shall be the duty of said committee to prepare an estimate making appropri ations by items for the several depart ments, which shall govern all expendi tures, and which appropriations shall in no case be exceeded except as may be otherwise provided. Fifth If a careful estimate of the probable revenue receipts will permit, the committee shall provide in such estimate for a "reserve" or "contin gent" fund, from which moneys may be transferred to cover an unavoidable deficiency in department appropria tions, whenever so recommended by said committee and approved by a three-fourths vote of the council. Sixth In anticipation of receipts from revenue during the current fiscal year the committee shall have power to devise means whereby funds may be temporarily obtained but never in ex cess of the amount which receipts dur ing the year will replace. $675 FOR NEW ARMATURES.

The streets and walks committee rec ommended that tha wide tire ordinance, be not enforced till September 1. Coun cilman Swendson objected to this be cause he held that an ordinance cannot be suspended in this way. Swendson, wanted a new ordinance drawn up in creasing the limit for narrow tires from 4.000 to 5,000 pounds. He also wanted it provided that the ordinance should not take effect till next Septem ber. This plan was voted down, and it was decided to give the teamsters an extension of time till September L by amending the existing ordinance. But there is not likely to be an increase made in the weight limit for narrow tires. HAYMARKET PROPOSAL R. T. Kreipe through J. F. Snyder, street commissioner, notified the coun cil that he will lease to the city, free ot charge, for three years with privilega of renewal for three years, five lots on Quincy street, between Fourth and Fifth streets. Mr. Kreipe agrees to fence the land, furnish office and tele phone, water for teams, and a man to clean up and look after the market. The only consideration Mr. Kreipe asks is the privilege of charging 10 cents a load for standing In the market. The proposition was referred to thai streets and walks committee with pow er to act, and will doubtless be ac cepted. MISCELLANEOUS MATTERS. A remonstrance was received against the proposed paving of Douthitt street. between Fillmore and Western avenue. The protest is signed by H. L. Strohm. F. S. Brown, E. D. Murphy, Geo. H. Fair, S. S. Ott, H. H. Wolcott, and F. E. Grote and was referred to tha streets and walks committee. The estimate of the city engineer on the East Eighth avenue bridge was re ferred to the ways and means commit tee. The estimated cost of the bridga is $1,960.38. A petition for sidewalk on the east side of Harrison to Douthitt to Hunt ington, was received and referred to the streets and walks committee. The ordinance providing for the is suance of $18,000 Potwin refunding bonds was passed. These bonds hava been sold to L E Myers, the city railway man, and the money will ba paid to the city as soon as the bonds can be printed. Andrew Crook filed claim for $1,000 damage alleged to have been sustained because his wagon capsized with him in a alley which was occupied by a rubbish pile. It was referred to tha Judiciary committee. A petition for paving on Taylor, between Tenth and Huntoon, was re ceived and referred to the streets and walks committee. The petition is fos 40 foot pavement between Tenth an4 Eleventh and 35 foot the rest of tha way. A petition was received from tha teamsters' union asking that the lirr.ii on weight for narrow tire wagons ba changed from 4.000 to 5.000 pounds, tt was signed by 195 teamsters. The pe tition was referred to the streets aal walks committee. The next council meeting will be tha regular March meeting. A woman who wants but little here below should get married and let it go that.

I XJLL LEASED -WISE EEP0RT OF TEE ASSOCIATED PP.ESS. The State Journal is a member of the Associated Press and receives the full day teleeraph report of that great news or ganization for exclusive afternoon publi cation in Topeka. The news is received In the State Jour nal building over wires for this sole pur pose, busy throughout the entire day. A comnlete copy of the night report is also received. Ohio will elect another senator to oc cupy Hanna's seat but there Is none that can fill his place. Fatti Is said to have encountered such, a -frost" at Atlanta that she came away with a severe cold. So far the Japanese are sustaining their title, "Yankees of the East," In a manner unobjectionable to the original iYankees. There is likely to be something doing In the line of building warships as soon as the war is over and Russia can raise the price. Like most of the world's workers Mark Hanna was called away before his life work of bringing labor and cap ital together was finished. Speaker Cannon's record of 320 pen sion bills in 155 minutes is thought by the Milwaukee Wisconsin to entitle him to a place In the "rapid Are" class. No higher tribute to any man has ever been paid by a labor organiza tion than contained in the ac tion of the United Mine Workers of America in resolving to suspend work on the day of the late Senator Hanna's funeral. The Congregationalist reports that fifty-three women have been regularly ordained, and are doing the full work of ministers. Forty-five of the fifty three are married, although, some of them were ordained before marriage. Most of them have independent parish es, where they preach, make pastoral visits, officiate at marriages, and at funerals. Japan is reported to be massing an army of 250,000 men along the Yalu river. Russia probably will be able to oppose this force with one nearly as large. Tha result is likely to be the greatest battle fought in the world since tt-.e Franco-Prussian war. No large armies met in the clash of bat tle in either the Boer war or the war between the United States and Spain. The United States was the first power, so far as known, to apply to the Korean government for the opening of iWiju to the world's trade. This action iwas taken while Japan and England were urging the opening of Yongam pho, lying at the mouth of the Yalu river on the Korean side. The view taken by the state department was that if we could secure the opening of Wiju, 150 miles up the Yalu above Yongampho, the effect would be to practically open the whole of that stretch of the river to commerce, so that the project really was much larger than the mere opening of a port at the mouth of the river. Wiju lies on the opposite side of the river and very near to An Tung, in Manchuria, iwhlch the Chinese government already has by treaty with the United States declared to be an open port, although this baa never been admitted by Rua sia. It is understood that the opening of Wiju is directly attributable to Japanese ascendancy in Korea, for iwhlle the country was under Russian influences Mr. Allen, the American minister, was unable to induce the king to open a single port in addition to Chemulpo. It is probable that the state department at once will take steps to have America represented at Wiju by a consular or commercial agent. MB. HANNA'S HOLD ON THE PEOPLE. From the Washington Post. It is sometimes said that in the life of hurry-skurry the world is leading now all that is spectacular in men's ca reers is magnified and glorified far be yond its real importance, while simple character counts constantly for less and less. We believe that the tribute of respect and anxiety paid to Senator Hanna during his critical illness of the last week has given the lie to that idea. Mr. Hanna's career has not been spectacular, unless we are ready to de scribe as spectacular the sparks that flv from the hot iron when the blows of the hammer fall upon it. It is the blows, not the sparks, which count in the shaping of the product. The sparks fly because the blows bring them out; they are brilliant because the iron is in the right condition; they are incidental, not essential. So with the few start ling and showy features of a life-story like Mr. Hanna's. They have had a part in it because they could not help doing so. They have been the mere phenomena of impact between the molder of events and the events in process of molding. In the main, Mr. Hanna's life has not been picturesque. Its interest has been deceived from Its strong rather than its highly colored phases. Whether we go back to its earliest stage known to the public and note the thoroughness with which the young man of business han dled the larger and ever larger affairs committed to his care, or come down through the period of his two stanch devotions In the political world his championship of James A. Garfield and of William McKinley we see behind each manifestation the man who went to the bottom of everything he touched at all; who would rather be conscious of power than personally eminent; who gave his whole heart to his friends; who asked nothing for himself, but ev erything for the object on which he had fixed his purpose. There have been many opportunities for Mr. Hanna to figure in the highest places in public life. He probably could have gone into Garfield's cabinet; he certainly could Into McKinley's. He could have had one of the great mis sions abroad. Anything that either of the later Ohio presidents could have given him he might have received, not for the asking, but because the dis penser would have considered his ac ceptance a favor. That he declined re peatedly what most other men would have scrambled for; that he even as pired to the senatorship the first time only because his friend, the president, desired it, and the last time because his party and faction demanded it these things speak volumes when we remem ber that in spite of them the whole American people have stood, asTit were, by his bedside for a week and forgotten the bulk of the news of the day in their eagerness to learn the contents of the latest bulletin from his physicians. If Mr. Hanna had been a sovereign, this would not have been so strange, for a whole dynasty might have been af fected in its course by the result of his illness. If he had been a veteran mili tary hero, whose fame had been won in battles on which the nation's fate de pended, it would have been natural enough. If he had been president, the popular interest could have been readily explained from both a personal and a political point of view. If, even as a senator, he had ben a great leader in economic thought, or the author of some tremendous reform, or by grace of a peculiar situation the arbiter of the des tinies of a party in congress. It would not have been hard to understand. As it was, the spectacle was a simple, unconscious, but very direct tribute to chnraoter. Here was a man who did well whatever he did at all; who never crave his word unless ho meant to keep it: who was frank In the performance of the most delicate and disagreeable duties; who was true to his friends, whether they loomed unamong the great nr drooped amid the lowly, and whose kindliness of face and manner were merely the pleasant nflomment of a fTr-re of will that overrode all obstacles. The American people like a real Amer ican! QUAKER REFLECTIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. The smallest fish often inspire the biggest tales. Even a soft-boiled egg may be called hard names. A questionable character The inter rogation mark. It doesn't take an inquisitive person to pump an organ. Pugilists are not the only people who waive their rights. A man may be rather close and still be open to suspicion. WThen the dressmaker goes away she goes by hts and starts. Love laughs at locksmiths, but it's different with goldsmiths. The trouble with a day off is that it is too often followed by an off day. Even Cupid must be a monopolist, since there can be no love without Trust. Tommy "Pop, what grows on fam ily trees?" Tommy's Pop "Blockheads my son; blockheads." The misanthrope who feels that he hasn't a friend in the world might just as well be a book agent. No. Maude dear, a man doesn't nee essarily have his leg pulled just be cause he happens to be carried on a stretcher. Mrs. Buggins "I ordered a beautiful decollete gown today." Mr. Buggins "Well, you'll have to shoulder the re sponsibility. Blobbs "Yes, I used to know Got- rox when he was a boy, and I see his youthful ambitions have been realized. Slobbs "I used to know him, too. thought he wanted to be a bandit, or a pirate, or something like that." Blobbs "Exactly. And now he's a promoter of Trusts." REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR From the New York Press. Man makes the money and money makes the man. Maybe the good wouldn't die so young if they weren't so lonesome. A rich man never has to worry whether he will be welcome when he goes to call on his poor relations. When a girl gets to know she has a figure she lets other people get to know it. loo. When a woman dreams of being in a celestial choir she calls it a beautiful revelation; a man a horrible night mare. You will notice that even a careless wo man is very careful anout the iooks or the clothes she lets lie about carelessly. When a woman deals with a busi ness proposition, either she takes it up as if it were poison in a pair of tongs or she plays with it as if it were a vear-old baby. You can most always tell what a girl's designs are on a man if she worries for fear it is too heavy a load tor mm to sup port a few sisters. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. A good many people are down on slip pery sidewalks. Follies of life are the amusements we don't care for. Make the best of the troubles you have and don't hunt more. A bald headed man can't lose anything by trying a new patent hair restorer. The elevator boy is poorly paid when one considers the fool questions he is asked. It's a pity that a miser who has money to burn can't take it with him when he dies. A bachelor is known by the company he keeps and a married man by the clothes his wife wears. The average man's idea of a business transaction is one in which he gets the best of the bargain. When you see a boy with long curls it's a safe bet that his father isn't the whole thing around the house. It's a mistake to imagine that itching piles can't be cured; a mistake to suffer a day longer than you can help. Doan's Ointment brings instant relief and per manent cure. At any drug store, SO cents. TO BE MADE GOOD Receiver O'Neill, of Water Com pany, Returns to Topeka. Says That Plant Will Be Put in Good Condition. TIIEIR LAST CHAXCE. Opponents of Municipal Owner ship See Another Opportunity. Commercial Club Will Discuss the Question. J. W. O'Neill, received of the Topeka Water company, returned to Topeka Wednesday from the east where he has been for six weeks. In speaking of the present waterworks situation, Mr. O'Neill said: "As riear as I can learn, this agita tion is a sort of final effort on the part of the people who have opposed city ownership throughout to break the deal between the city and company. Some of the best posted men in the city have informed me that the opponents of city ownership, who fought the proposition at the election, are now preparing to play their last cards and prevent in some way the transfer of the property. "The water company is willing to continue the operation of the plant, as far as that goes, but we know that as soon as we get the repairs on the plant completed it will do the work ex pected of it. It is plenty big enough tor Topeka at present. The work of re pairs is being rushed as rapidly as pos sible." It is quite apparent that the impa tience and bitterness which i3 appear ing in the present fight on the water company is in a measure due to the activity of the people who have always opposed city ownership. All the old enemies of municipal ownership who were snowed under by the popular vote in the waterworks election are crawl ing out of the drifts and urging the city to do something desperate without waiting to investigate. It is altogether probable, however, that conservative action to protect the city will be taken. The "fire-eaters" will not dominate the action of the city. Friday night the Commercial club will meet on call for a special meeting. A committee composed of John S. Parks, W. I. Miller, A. Fassler, Willard Hall and E. H .Crosby will report on the advisability of buying the water works. The probability is that the city will give the water company a chance to make good its promise to put the plant in as good condition as it was before the flood, and will decide to have a careful examination made of the plant by expert hydraulic engineers. Nothing was done at the meeting of the city council Wednesday night, al though Councilman Howe had a resolu tion ready providing for the employ ment of a hydraulic engineer. It was decided that it would be better to wait until the Commercial club has made its recommendation in the case before taking any action. QUESTION OF FIRE STEAMERS. Nearly everybody has a different way to absolutely settle the existing diffi culties, and out of the tangle of con flicting opinion the city will probably get on the right track after a while. One of the most common suggestions is that the city should buy one or more I fire steamers at once, for the purpose of pumping water at high pressure. The chief objection to this move is that steamers cost $5,000 apiece to begin with. In addition there will be the cost of horses, and the salaries of three or four additional men, and the incidental expenses of maintaining another piece of apparatus in service. There is another objection, too, which would have to be overcome. All of the fire plugs in the city are fitted with 2-inch openings. The steamer re quires a four inch connection. The fire plugs would have to be changed it steamers are to be put into general use. The only way the old steamer is used is by connecting it by a Siamese to two 2-inch streams. The only way the city could get a fire steamer now is to go in debt for it, and it is contrary to law for the city to go in debt for its floating expenses. It seems likely, however, that as soon as the money is in sight, the city council will purchase a new fire steam er for use in the business part of town. It would give the city a little chance flo-htine- a Are even if a water main should burst or some accident happen, as happened last Saturday. A, WM. SCHMITTENDORF S STATE MENT. William Schmittendorf, superintend ent of the Santa Fe water service, has taken a hand in the controversy, and has made some criticisms of theTopeka Water company. Mr. Schmittendorf says that during the Saturday fire the water company did not ask the Santa Fe for help, al though the Santa Fe could have aided the city materially. "Our pressure was much higher than that of the city, savs Mr. Schmittendorf. Supt Shaw of the city waterworks says that he telephoned to the watch man at the Santa Fe storehouse when he found that the city plant could not give press-jre, and asked him to notify the Santa Fe pumping station to turn i t,oir. Instead of doing this, the watchman through a misunderstanding told them to shut off the connection between the Santa Fe mains and the citv mains. He then reported what he had done, and Mr. Shaw corrected mm, telling him not to stiut orr connection, but to have the Santa Fe pumps turn in and help. No reply was received to the second message, nor did the Santa Fe give the desired assistance. The Santa re iriea uunus to give pressure for the city, and was able to give only 3M pounds, so its services are not very important. Mr Schmittendorf also says that during the test of the fire pressure made by the city authorities six weeks ago the water company had the Santa Fe mains shut off, so that the city mains would show better pressure. "I think the Santa Fe was partially shut off that afternoon, except when trains came in to be watered." said Mr. Shaw today. "I was going out to the pumping station with the committee and I wanted to see what effect, if any, this would have on the pressure. I did not know the committee was go ing to make any test of fire pressure. As nearly as I can judge, it makes a difference of about 5 or 10 pounds in our pressure to carry the Santa Fe." Mr. Schmittendorf claimed that twelve years ago the Santa Fe agreed to take water from the Topeka Water company provided the company would for 30 davs show an ability to maintain 90 pounds nressure. He says the com pany failed in the test. Mr. Shaw's story is different. He says: "We had a contract for 30 days while the Santa Fe was working on Ua well. We agreed to maintain a pressure of 90 pounds at our pumps, and we did It. There was no intimation that the Santa Fe would continue taking water after that 30 days." Mr. Shaw claims that he never stated that the Santa Fe was using 1,500,000 gallons of water a day from the water company, though he states that when Mr. Schmittendorf says that the Santa Fe has never taken water except for the depot and passenger station, he is mis taken. The city furnished water for the whole Bhops for some time, and the consumption for the- whole shops is estimated at 1,500,000 gallons a day. THE ARE ALL LAWYERS. Class of Seventeen Successfully Pass es the Examination. The class of seventeen would--be law yers who have been taking the exam ination .for admission to the bar this week have successfully passed the ex amination and were formally admitted before the supreme court today. The class is as follows: Thomas Clinton Hart, Caney. John Bruce WTood, Concordia. Ellis Fink, Winfield. Charles Ward Wright, Arkansas City. Albert Lee Orr, Elk City. Carroll Dawes Smith, Blue Rapids. LaVergne Orton, Iola. George Washington Dashiell, Beloit. Robert Wallace Kellough, Humboldt. Eliza J. Lambert, Humboldt. Thomas Fontleroy Morrison, Chanute. Bruce Harold Grigsby. Chanute. Charles Lambert Purves, Caldwell. David Evans McCullum, Osage City. Banner Ephraim Shawhan, Chanute. Lacey Moore Simpson, McPherson. Charles Robb Barrow, Cherryvale. After the members of the class were admitted they held a meeting and form ed a sort of alumni association. They propose to take in all who pass the examination before the state examining board hereafter and have an organiza tion which will be a sort of auxiliary to the State Bar association. The offi cers elected at the meeting today were as follows: President, B. E. Shawhan; secretary, C. L. Purves; treasurer, T. F. Morrison. NEARLY HALF MILLION. That Is Value of Land Involved in Controversy. A case involving the title to about 90 acres of land accretions on the south bank of the Kaw in Kansas City, Kan., was filed in the supreme court today. Many of the large financial interests of Kansas City are involved in the suit. The land is worth about $5,000 an acre and involves a total of $450,000. The accretions are the result of sand washing from an island in the river to the south bank, and this has some bearing on the case. Annie B. Wood and others brought suit to secure title to the property, and among the defend ants were the Fowler packing interests, the Metropolitan Water company, the Hannibal St. Joseph, railroad and other large interests. There were a hundred or more defendants in all, and the plaintiffs won in the lower court. The record in the case is about a foot thick and is the largest ever filed in the supreme court. It contains 2.9S6 pages and cost about $2,000 to make it. HOUSE TALKS OF FORTS. Rapid Fire Guns Also Engage Some Attention. Washington, Feb. 18. Mr. Littauer (N.

The Albanians, who -were besieging Shemsi Pasha, who with 2,500 Turkish troops and three guns, was yesterday reported to be besieged by 20,000 Albanians at Babajhosl, have been routed, losing 800 men killed and wounded. The Turkish losses are said to be heavy. Five additional battalions of troops have been ordered to Verishovich. MONTANA SAPPHIRES. Mountain State Has Wealth of Bar Stones. In Fergus county are located the most famous gem mines on the North American continent. They are situated in the Yogo mining district, about 16 miles from the town of Utica. It was the everlasting search for gold which led to their discovery. A placer mining company was organized in 1S95 to work the gold-bearing gravel east of the Yogo forks of the Judith river. The company put in $38,000 worth of ditch and flumes, but after all this outlay the first season's clean-up amounted to only $700. But in the sluice boxes were a number of blue stones which were later identified as sapphires. A cigar box full of these stones was sent east and Tiffany gave $3,750 for them. The company now saw some results in signt for its great outlay, and made pre parations to work the gravels for the sapphires, which were found in great abundance in certain parts of the field. At first it was thought that the gems, with the gold, came from Yogo gulch, but in February, 1896, their real source was discovered by John Ettien of the neighboring valley of the Judith river. While prospecting above the placer he found a fissure in the limestone, with a soft filling, which resembed the outcrop of a vein. Some of the dirt was washed and there again were the blue stones. Their value again was not known by the discoverer until they were shown to the workers at the placer. They began at once to locate the sapphire lead. Investigation show ed that the gems occurred in a dike of trap rock which could be traced for a distance of five miles from the mead ows of the Judith river westward to the canyon of Yogo creek. Its entire known extent was located as lode claims, some of which have already been patented. The sapphire mines are in the center of a broad and open basin inclosed on three sides by the Little Belt mountains, whose slopes disclose outcrops of white limestone resembling banks of snow. High foothill ridges country to the east. Through the basiif flows the Judith river, its three forks uniting at the base of the mountain slopes to the west. The mines take their name from Yogo creek, the most northerly fork of the river. They are located on the bare benchland lyirfg north of the main streams and east pi the creek. It is in igneous rock, or clay, so hard that it requires drilling and blasting, that the precious gems are found. This5 rock slacks pretty much the same as lime upon exposure to the air, the pro cess being aided by rain, frost and snow. Then it is run through the sluice boxes, some of it two or three times, before the gems are extractea. The gems in the rough, just as taken from the mines, are carefully sorted and shipped to the London house, and there prepared for the market. The product is sold in the European, Asi atic and New York markets and the superior quality of the stone found in Fergus county is said to be driving the Ceylon article out of the market. The late Queen Victoria had a yogo sap phire in her collection of gems; at the Paris exposition the Yogo sapphires were awarded a silver medal. Another great concern owns a large number of claims and its output is nearly, if not quite, equal to that of the other cor poration. It maintains its own shop in Helena, where fifteen men are em ployed cutting and polishing the stones, and it is asserted with confidence that the work done there is finer even than that turned out in London. in a recent report of the Montana bureau of agriculture, labor and in dustry, the following description of the methods of working the mines occurs: "The method of extracting the sap phires from the magma is somewhat similar to that used by placer miners in sluicing for gold. The sluice boxes are fitted with Hungarian riffles, as in placer mining, but it is necessary to exercise more care in setting them, as the snecific erravitv of the sapphire is much less than that of gold, arid with the boxes set at too great a pitcn tney would pass over the riffles and be lost. Wrhe.n first attacked the magma is passed over a grizzly (screen) and the finer parts pass at once into the sluices. The coarser, harder material is thrown into the dump, where the process occupies from one month to one year, according to the hardness and tenacity of the magma. Superin tendent Sweeney of the American companv assists the elements in tne disintegration of his dumps by turning a flow of water on them occasionally, and by this means the hardest of the vein matter is ready to pass through the sluices in two months. For clean ing up an ordinary rocker is used, wttn three screens of as many sizes, through which the pay dirt is passed. When the pay dirt has been worked down as closely as possible in the rock Spring Medicine There is no other season when good medicine is so much needed as in the Spring.

The stones of the Yogo vein vary in size from the smallest to four or five karats, and as genjs they equal in value the best products of the mines of Ceylon and Burmah. The largest stones yet found in the Ameri can' Gem company's mines was taken from the Fourth of July claim, and weighed eieht karats, and that taken from the new syndicate mines weighed a little more than nine karats. The stones are very evenly distributed throughout the vein, but are less broken and somewhat better formed in the deeper workings, although some of the most valuable stones yet found were from the surface. The sapphire color is blue and the shade known as corn flower blue is the most highly prized.

At Florence, as I passed an undertaker's, I saw signs in the window of 'Immense Bargains in Misfits,' and I went in and asked what they were. 'In graves, my dear sir,' was the courteous and dignified reply. 'We have on hand this morning no less than five different misfits in graves in the lead ing cemeteries, and you shall take your choice and name your own price.' 'But how can such misrits come about? I asked. 'The easiest thing in the world, sir. The diggers drank too much wine and dug them too Ehort or too long, and now if you will permit me to measure you with this tape-line I'll find one among the five to fit you to a hair, and give it to you at less than half price.'

He begins early to save a portion of his income and invests it in Shawnee Building and Loan snares at the rate of one or two. dollars a month.

Mr. Kelly's apologists evidently for get the fact that nearly $1,200 of Bour bon county money was unreceipted for for two years, and when this discrep- ancy was discovered Kelly, who was assistant state treasurer, hurried to send a receipt for it and told a false story of why it had not been accounted for. He said it had been credited to the wrong county. When this story was called to the attention of State 1 Treasurer Grimes, that officer disputed it, and said he thought the money had been carried in the "long" account during the two years. Mr. Grimes, however, did not handle the money personally. Ao state treasurer, of course, actual ly handles the money that comes into his office. That duty usually devolves upon the assistant treasurer, and Mr. Kelly did it, as a rule, during Mr. Grimes' administration. The discrep ancy with regard to the Bourbon coun ty remittance was accidentally discov ered through some correspondence be tween State Auditor Cole and the Bourbon county officials, two yeaj-s after the remittance had been made. Otherwise it might not have been found to this day. How many other instances of this character have occurred and not been discovered? As soon as the Bourbon county mat ter had been uncovered, Mr. Kelly, without taking it up with Mr. Grimes, hastened to write the following letter: 'Topeka. Jan. a.

Kan "My Dear Sir: You will find enclosed receipts to the amount or ;i4,0l0 to comply with your remittance of recent date. You will also find enclosed re ceipt for J1.199.6S to cover a remittance sent here some time in December. 1S99. This remittance was made D. H. Hefte- bower. and it is that amount about which, there has been some correspond ence with the auditor's office, also be tween you and this office. In some way the amount was cred ited to another county, and, coming as it did about the time Mr. Heneoower was retiring and Our advent into the office, there has been some confusion about it. It seems strange that it was not caught before this, but it is one of those things that you sometimes go up against that cannot be explained. "I send you the original receipt, to gether with a triplicate to the county clerk, and have filed the duplicate with the state auditor, which I hope will finally close the matter up." Whv did Kellv tell a false story about this money by saying that it had been credited to another county? If it was .,rrio,i n a "lone" account for two years, why was it never reported to the treasury examiners by Mr. Kelly? Is it eood business to carry nearly $1,200 in a "long" account nearly two years and not know where it belongs? Does this incident show a good record on Kelly's account as assistant state treasurer? There is a mistake in Mr. Kelly's let ter", quoted about, but it is likely a typographic one made by the type writer The date of the remittance should have been given as December, December, 1SS9. as the i-.ifnnnpr date was Mr. Heflebower's last iici J Atchison Globe: Isn't it too bad that Atchison people will abuse each other unjustly, and do so much for Tom Kel ly and Charley Curtis, who live out side of the county? Isn't it too bad that the Kansas City Journal and Topeka Capital consider it fair and honorable to invent charges against W. J. Bailey, an honest man, nnrt then nrint columns in defense of Tom Kelly, who is not an honest man? The Kansas City Journal says the evidence against Kelly was "trumped up" by an ex -convict. The evidence against Kelly is official evidence, and is signed by the commissioners of Mi ami county. Copies of the evidence may be had by anyone who seea fit to send to the editor of the Republican, at Paola, Kansas. The evidence against Kelly is of such a nature tnat tne re publican convention of Miami county, meeting last week, passed this resolu--Thff notion of T. T. Kelly in t.-v-iAo- tr steal the delegation of this county is in keeping with his criminal record as county clerk of this county, j which makes his renomination as state treasurer, under the cry of reform and honest methods, an astounding incon sistency, and a humiliation to the state of Kansas." Still, the Kansas City Journal is defending Kelly, and saving the charges against him were trumped up by a bad man. The resolution quoted above was passed by the Republican convention of Kelly's own county. His own county beat him by more than a thousand ...Hr, ho ran for state treasurer. and was against his nomination in the first place, and is against Kelly now. In the name of decency and common sense why should the Republicans of the other counties of the state support such a man for state treasurer? Why should the Kansas City Journal and Topeka Capital support him Are they influenced by honest cr dishonest mo- By Mrs. F. M. HORN. As my parents died when I was very (mall, I had to commence working hard when I was a mere child. I would get all run down and would have had to give up completely were It not for Paine's Celery Compound. But that has always been my standby. I always rely upon it to strengthen and build me ud asain and keeD me well. About m v- xriRrieno. in the Lisbon typhoid epidemic: Before my marriage I was a sick nurse, 'mere is no nospitai in this county, and the poor and homeless have to be taken in and cared for by any one who can do it at county expense. It was after my marriage that the epi demic of typhoid fever broke out in its worst form. I took in patients, cared for them, and meanwhile did all my own housework except washing. I never lost a patient, and I had some of the worst cases in town. Our Sheriff gives me the credit of saving his daughter's life after doctor had given up hope, but I relied on Paine's Celery Compound. When mv last patient was well I was almost a skeleton, but I took several bot tles of Paine's Celery Compound, and it kept me up and built me up. Six months later I had a nice, plump baby with not more than three hours' se vere suffering. My neighbors and I be lieve that Paine's Celery Compound saved mv baby and me. When 9 months old the baby weighed 24 pounds, and at 1 year 27 pounds. Then the place where we were living was sold and we had to move. It meant leaving our garden, which was all plant edand we were depending on it for food. So we built and moved into our own house, unfinished as it was. I did all of my house work took care of a teething baby, and lathed the whole house myself four thousand laths mv husband's health was very bad and he was earning for us and building the house at the same time. It was a mile back to my garden, out I did all the garden worfc-exeept digging Winter vegetables. I always carried my baby with me. It was a "trving season, but. as usual. Paine's Celery Compound was my sup port. I was nervous from hard work and all broken down after the typhoid fever epi demic. Sometimes I thought I would go insane.

Replying in the house of commons today the chancellor of the exchequer. Austin Chamberlain, said the government had no intention at present of reimposing the tax on train, which was abolished last year. An Illinois lady who never knew what i.in, woe until she reached her 70th year presents an unusually convincing case of the power of proper food. She says: T am 74 years old this fall and I nev er bad good health that I can remem ber since I was a child until I com menced to use Grape-Nuts four years a"'-From the verv first I could feel a vast improvement and now in four years I have gamea so mai. x jj m own work, and feel I cannot say too much in favor of Grape-Nuts and what this grand food has done for me as old as I am.

He is now buildinsr the Rock Island line or a part of it. between Kansas City and St LOUiS. it M. A. "JW viui.n. mo tie finger, Stubbs will jump clear across a room. This was true last winter in the legislature and is true now. M. A. Low represents the railroads of the state in state conventions. He is a mightv nice man and a smooth one. He is anti-machine because he and Leland have been venomous enemies, barely speaking, for years. We want to make a prediction. One of the things "thaf will come up" in that caucus will be the nominations for railroad commissioners. Mr. Stubbs, Mr Miller and all their gang will be found to be lined up for the men for railroad commissioners that M. A. Low, wnresontirar the railroads, want. Such a caucus would make their nominatiton certain if enough "grays" can be in duced to go into it. Not only this, but the whole ticket will be made then and there by this new "machine" even ti.nnih if ho called ft caucus. This caucus will do another thing. It will cinch the nomination of Tom Kelly e ofctt, treoanrpr. Whv? The same influences will do it that name the rail road commissioners. Kelly, dominating tho stnte hoard of assessors, raised the assessment of farm property in sixty three counties of the state thirty mil lions and left the railroad assessments untouched. He suits M. A. Low and what suits Low suits Stubbs and his crowd. So Kelly will be renominated by that caucus. And in this connection it may not be amiss to recall the fact that the To peka Capital states that all of the delegates to the state convention who line up with the Hoch management will have their expenses paid. Is this the price the railroads are paying for a board of railroaa commissioners aim a state board of assessors of their own choosing? It would be a great bargain for the railroads.

6 TOPEKA STATE JOTJ RNAI THURSDAY EVENING. FEBRUARY 18, 1904. HITS ''THEM HARD. Wealthy Land Operators Indict ed for Fraud. Charged With Defrauding Got ernnient bj Wholesale. ALL WESTERN MEN. John A. Benson, of San Fran cisco, Is One. Lands in Question AH Located in the West. Washington, Feb. IS. As a result of the investigation of the alleged whole sale public land frauds in many west ern states, the gra'nd jury of the Dis trict of Columbia reported a joint in dictment for conspiracy against John A. Benson, a wealthy real estate oper ator of San Francisco; Frederick A. Hyde, of San Francisco, closely iden tified with Benson; Senator Dimond, of California, an attorney representing Benson and Hyde; and Joost H. Schneider, of Tucson, Ariz., an agent of Benson and Hyde. Bench warrants were issued and Schneider was arrested in this city by Secret Service Agent William J. Burns, who haa been quietly investigating alleged public land frauds in a number of western states. Schneider was taken before Justice Barnard, and the latter fixed his bail at $20,000. Attor neys Cole and Donaldson, representing the defendants, asked that bail be fixed at $5,000, while the government insisted on a $20,000 bond. Schneider has been a witness before the grand jury in the case against the other defendants. Benson already has been Indicted here on a charge of bri bery and is now believed to be in New York, while Hyde Is thought to be in San Francisco. The indictment is a voluminous document and sets forth a number of transactions by which land is alleged to have been fraudulently acquired from the government in Cali fornia, Oregon, Washington, Nevada and elsewhere. Most of these transac tions are alleged to have occurred un der the lieu land law. It is charged that all of the Indicted parties, on De cember 30, 1901, in this city, conspired with parties to the grand Jury unknown to defraud the United States out of the possession of title to numerous large tracts of public lands to be opened to selection in lieu of land included or to be included within forest reserves in various states, the conspiracy being carried ut by means of "false and fraudulent practices." The scheme outlined in the indict ment and alleged to have been practiced in these transactions was to obtain echool or other lands by applications, assignments and purchases in the names of fictitious persons or of persons not really desiring, or qualified to purchase them, Hyde and Benson paying them small sums for the lands. The indict ment charges that there were false rep resentation in all these transactions. In pursuance of this alleged conspir acy thus incurred by applicants cer tain unsurveyed tracts in the Olympia, Wash., land district, contained 3,400 acres selected in the name of C. W. Clarke, Frederick A. Hyde and John A. Benson were obtained and other lands specifically cited were secured, includ ing large tracts in the Visalia and Van couver land districts in Washington, in the Woodward land district in Okla homa, the Cascade range forest reserve country in Oregon, the San Francisco land district and the Carson City. Nev., land district. The arrest of the other parties indicted is expected very soon. The action taken disposes of all the land fraud cases thus far presented to the local grand jury, but others may be submitted at any time, and proceedings are expected in other jurisdictions.

IContinued from First Page. being carried on compel us to wait with patience news of the success of our troops, which can not occur before decisive actions are fought by the Rus sian army. The distance of the terri tory and the desire of the emperor to maintain peace were the causes of the impossibility of more complete and earlier preparations for war. Much time is now necessary In order to strike at Japan, but it was worthy of the dignity and might of Russia, and, while sparing as much as possible the shedding of blood of her children to inflict just chastisement upon the na tion which has provoked the struggle. Russia must await the event in pa tience, being sure that our army will avenge an hundredfold that provoca tion. "Operations on land must not be ex pected for some time yet and we can not obtain early news from the thea tre of war. The useless shedding of blood is unworthy the greatness and power of Russia. "Our country displays such unity and desire for self sacrifice on behalf of the national cause that all true news from the scene of hostilities will be immediately due to the entire nations." The general staff announced today that the war office is willing to accept volunteers for service in the far east. They must be under 40 years of ag-3 Vho Battleship Mekasa, Admiral and have had military training. The volunteers will be enrolled in the re serve battalions under Viceroy Alex ieff.

Cap tain Reitzenstein, who is also acting commodore of the Vladivostock squad ron, says that a small Japanese coaster was also approached, but the violent squaU made it impossible to capture the crew, and that therefore the coaster was not sunk. Heavy weather, he says, prevented him following the coast and the cruiser squadron made for Chestakoff, fleeing before the tempest to gain the Korean coast. Owing to the storm, the squad ron was only able to accompnsn nve knots per hour. Heavy seas were ship ned. and the cruisers and guns were coated with ice. there being nine de grees of frost. Two violent gales were encountered within three days. In the courtyard of the winter palace the czar today reviewed the third bat talion of the First Siberian rifles, which is proceeding to the far east. The re view took place in the presence of the czarina, the dowager empress, Grand Duke Michael, War Minister Kuropat kin, General Sakharoff, chief of staff, and a number of court officials. After the inspection, the rendering of the na tional anthem by the band and cheers from the spectators, his majesty made a speech to the departing soldiers, in which he said: 'My brothers, I am happy to be able to see you all before you leave, and I wish you a good journey. I am firmly convinced that you will all uphold the honor of your ancient regiment, and readily risk your lives for your dear fatherland. 'Remember your foe is brave, confident and crafty. From my heart I wish you success over your opponents. I bless you, my brothers, and with you the famous First Siberian regiment; may Seraphim pray for you and accompany you in all your ways. "I thank the officers for volunteering their services, and once more I thank you, all my brothers, with all my heart. God bless you." The battalion, accompanied by its baggage wagons, then marched past, the czar calling out to the men as they went by: "Good by, my brothers. WIND IN HIS WHISKERS.

Continued from First Page.) believes that he did wrong in giving his son a job, but that he did so. not from mercenary motives! but in order to give his son a chance to see public men and public life. Concerning the employe matter Mr. Bevington says: "Probably no part of the work of the house has been more criticized than In the appointment of employes. There were about 230 appointed, probably 130 more than was needed. There were fewer than two employes for each member. Some members secured places for their wives, some for their daugh ters, some for their sons, myself among the latter number. "I gave the clerkship of the commit tee of which I was chairman commit tee of education to a bright young fel low from Burr ak,- who rendered me excellent service. I secured a position in the document room for a Mankato boy, and a position as assistant door keeper for my own son. Some of the employees worked all the session, some did very little; some worked most of the time my own son in the latter class. He was absent eighteen days out of the fifty days he drew pay. He was among those dropped at the end of the fifty days, although the session lasted about one week longer than the con stitutional limit; and for which, the members do not get pay, but the em ployes do, if retained. Now I wish to be frank with the people of Jewell coun ty. I believe I made a mistake in fol lowing the custom of appointing a rela tive to a place on the pay roll. It was not a mercenary motive that prompted me to do so. It was not for pay, but the opportunity to see something of pub lic life and of public men. I thank the Republicans of Jewell county for the honors they nave bestowed upon me. I believe I never have and I trust I never shall ask them for anything they are not perfectly willing to give. I prob ably made mistakes, but I tried to serve them well. "The senate had 183 employes, or 3 1-3 employes for each member. Re member the house had less than two for each member. Did any of the mem bers of the senate appoint or secure the appointment of their wives, sons or daughters to places on the pay roll? Now, for more facts: Look at page 42, Senate Journal. "Senator Gabriel appoints Mary A. Gabriel, his individual clerk. "Senator Caldwell appoints Mrs. E. Caldwell, his individual clerk. "Senator Hurrel appoints Emma Hur rel. clerk of his committee.

One morning re cently the boy's father, who keeps watch over him at night, went to his room and found the bed empty. He searched the house, but found no trace of him. One of the outside doors was open, and the father continued his search outside. Presently he found prints of the boy's bare feet in the snow. The tracks led toward the Le high Valley station, which is not far from the house. He had almost reached the station, when he saw the boy walking in the drenching rain, which froze as it fell. He was in his night clothes, and his pet dog was trotting beside him. Mr. Mulvey overtook his "son, picked him up in his arms, and carried him back home before the- boy was awaken ed. A doctor was-called, but the boy seemed not to have suffered from the exposure. He went back to bed and to sleep. He could remember nothing of his trip, but said he dreamed that some one was following him. Everybody reads the State Journal...

There was a young man on the North side yestarday who seemed to be in rather hard luck. He was trying to make his way to northwest Missouri where he had friends. He had been in southern Kansas and had reached this j stage of his Journey walking every step i of the way. From here he expected to i go to White Cloud, Kansas. The young j fellow was scarcely over twenty and took a very cheerful view of his af fairs. He had with him two grips con taining his earthly possessions. I Garfield park, up to the time of the I flood, the popular resort of the people of Topeka on all festive occasions, suf fered from tne overnowing waters, ii was apparently wrecked and ruined and has not yet been redeemed like many other parts of North Topeka, Without street railway connection and dismantled as it was, and with, the strained conditions that existad all summer it was neglected as a resort. With the coming of spring and the re turning of warm weather it is expected that the park will again become tfce beautiful breathing place of all citizens who seek a day's or half day's outing. The car line has not as yet been re stored quite to the park but undoubted ly will be and steps will be taken to make the resort attractive as before the flood. Vinewood park will of course take some of the popularity that was formerly Garfield's. But the 10,000 peo ple of North Topeka will not permit its favorite park to sink into forgetful ness and many south siders will still re sort to its summer shade. Market Gossip Furnished by the H. H.

Chicago, Feb. 18.-WHEAT-Liquidation by several big longs caused an easier tone in wheat today. At the opening the market still felt the effects of possible war complications and higher prices at Liverpool. May opened !ge higher, at 98i98e, and July was also up 'ac, at SS4iic. Within the first few minutes of trading May scored a new high record mark, selling up to 98c on active cov ering by shorts. Offerings became liberal on the advance resulting in a decline to 9ic. The price later -steadied around 9Sc. July showed greater weakness and after touching 89c, sold off to 88c. Minneap olis, Duluth and Chicago reported receipts of 299 cars, against 331 cars a year ago. The market turned strong toward the middle of the session. May sold up to 99c, and July advanced to 90c. The close was practically at the top. May being up 1&1C, at 9999c, with July lc higher, at 90c. CORN The corn market siwas governed by conditions similar to those that ruled in the wheat pit. Local longs and outside noiuers nau plenty or corn tor sale, and, although there was a good demand from commission houses at the start, the mar ket gradually weakened under the general profit taking. The opening was steady in sympathy with wheat and on strong ca bles, May being c lower to c higher, at 55VU55e. July was He higher, at 53e. Later, however, May sold off to 65'556c. while July went back to 53c Receipts were 222 cars. The close was firm, with May c higher, at 55c. and July up a shade at 53-53c. OATS Oats shared in the general liqui dation, the selling of May being the feat ure. The opening on that delivery was a shade to rac higher, at 43'544c, but the price steadily declined to 43(&43c. Receipts were 129 cars. PROVISIONS The provision market was affected by the weakness in grains. All products showed losses after a firm opening. Good buying of May pork by commission houses and shorts caused an opening advance in that product of 1 15c, initial sales beine made at Slo.lGto, 15.12. Offerings were liberal and the price cecnnea to 14.5: May lard opened unchanged to 2c higher, at $7.7517.77, but later sold back to $7.70. Ribs were up 2'a5o at the opening, at $7.227.25.

TOPEKA STATE J PUTIN AI THURSDAY EVENING. FEBRUARY 18, 1904. 7 HE SEES A CHANCE. ClereUnd Urges Democrats to Seize Their Opportunity. Philadelphia, Feb. IS. In an article written for this week's Saturday Even In Post, ex-President Cleveland urges his "rank and file associates" of the Democratic party to unite and take ad vantage of the opportunities of next November. "I am one of those," he writes, "who believe that there is an opportunity for Democratic success in the coming pres idential election. Though attachment to th party in which I am enlisted and an intense desire for its ascend ancy make such a belief exceedingly welcome, they certainly do not create It. It is built upon an unshaken and abiding trust in the patriotism and in telligence of my fellow countrymen. Mr. Cleveland's paper opens with a reiteration of the declaration that he made three vears ago on "our fighting forces will respond listlessly and falter ingly if summoned to a third defeat in a strange cause, but if they hear the rallying cry of true Democracy they will gather for battle with old-time Democratic enthusiasm and courage." Referring to his faith in his Demo cratic associates, he continues: "This trust will not perrrlit me to overlook the meaning of the daily In creasing unrest among our people, growing out of the startling and flip pant abandonment by the party in power of our national traditions and maxims, its disregard of our national moral restrains, its inconsiderate tend ancy to set aside national good faith. Its willingness to break away from safe and accustomed moorings and its con temptuous neglect of our national mis sion. Surely these conditions, together with the hrokcn pledges and forgotten promises ot reform that vex the sight on every side, not only abundantly explains the populardieturst and fear prevailing everywhere In the land, but suggest that in such stress of political weather those of our fellow citizens who thoughtfully and constantly love our free institutions, wMl not be unmindful of such safety and quiet as may be offered them by a patriotic and con servative Democracy." Mr. Cleveland thinks these conditions justify the assertion of Democracy's opportunity. He says: "It should be remembered, however, that opportunity may be only distantly related to actual accomplishment, and that it does not of Itself, unaided and alone, warrant the expectation of reaching successful re sults. This is no time for cunning finesse, ror for the use of words that conceal Intentions or carry a double meaning. The Democratic party has a message to send to its follows and to the masses of the American people. Let that mes sage be expressed in language easily understood, unconfused by evasion and untouched by the taint of jugglery. Ob polite issues and questions no longer challenging popular interest should be manfully abandoned." Mr. Cleveland urges tariff reform, pleads for economy in the expenditure of public money, and charges the op position with having made promises and broken them. He arraigns the administration's Philippine iolley and refers to the Isth mian canal in these words: "The Democratic party has been con sistent and unremitting In its advocacy of an interoceanic canal, and has with the liveliest satisfaction looked for ward to the day when such a highway of commerce, built under the auspices of our government, would be contrib uted by America to thewcrld's progress and civilization. It is, nevertheless, not within the mandate of ttie Demo cratic creed, that in consummating so noble an enterprise as this, the territor- lol -tK e, r.f orkvr nthi tiatlAn ahnnlH be disregarded, or that our own nation al good faith, should be subjected to reasonable suspicion." Mr. Cleveland concludes as follows: "At such a time as this the Democratic party cannot with honor undertake the battle of the people except under a leader that not only represents its best traditions and purposes, but fully re alizes what is meant by the tremen dous issues of the conflict, and his se lection should not depend upon so small a consideration as the locality whence he comes. "The Democracy's opportunity Is al ready in sight, but only in a campaign waged in reliance on the people's love of country and devotion and national morality, under leadership that person ifies these sentiments, would be found Democracy's hope." OH CHARGE OF BIGAMY. Missouri Legislator Arrested on His Wedding Trip. St. Louis, Feb. IS. Representative W. H. Looker, of Waynesville, Mo., a member of the state legislature, arrived from Duluth, Minn., last night on his wedding trip and was met at the hotel by a deputy sheriff and served with divorce papers on behalf of a former wife, charging him with bigamy. Locker was married January 10 to Miss Lucy La Duce, the daughter of a prominent manufacturer of Duluth. He alleged that several years ago he had ben married to Miss Nora Hill, near Waynesville. He said that re cently he had applied for and secured a divorce in the county court at Clay ton in St. Louis county. The former wife sets up the claim that the divorce was illegal, on the ground that Locker was not a resident of St. Louis county, and contends that she is still his wife. The summons demands that Locker appear in March to answer to the charge preferred by his frrmer wife. COLDS." S.,.Z a,1-v Ke'ief cures and pre co"h- thraat.

New York Harbor Is Nearly Im passbaie to Boats. New Tork, Feb. IS. Not for many years have the harbor and river been so choked with ice, as they were today. Much of the difficulty was due to the fact that several large boats were sent up the North river to break the ice. and detached masses floated down to the serious interference of navigation. At many of the Jersey City ferries it was not possible to keep tugs in ser vice to clear away the ice that clog ged the slips and interfered with the landing of ferryboats. The South Brooklyn ferry and the South, street and Hamilton street ferry were obliged to suspend their service, owing to the ice becorring packed in impenetrable masses ntcr the Brooklyn shore. The suspension of the ferries diverted great crowds to the Brooklyn bridge, where the congestion was very serious near the evening rush hours.

The resolutions reiterated loyalty to American independence irrespective of sex; asked for equal suffrage for moth ers not only for the sake of the state but for the home; demanded that mar riage should be considered a partner ship in which the woman should have a share in the guardianship and control of children; declared that the women of the entire union. are as intelligent as are those in the places where suffrage is granted and therefore demanded this right for all women; and thanked con gress and Mrs. Roosevelt and others for courtesies during the convention. The convention also adopted resolu tions sanctioning the bill introduced in congress by former Representative Shafroth of Colorado, establishing a national board to protect children and animals; calling for the endorsement of an international peace congress, general arbitration treaty between the United. States and all rations, and de clarlngg for a study of militarism, since it is a menace to the republic with a view to obtaining universal peace. These additional resolutions were made a part of the report of the com mittee. The resolution endorsing the Shafroth bill was presented by Mrs.Hel en Loring Grenfell, state superintend ent, of schools in Colorado. She referr- ed to the fact that the bill had been in i troduced by Mr. Shafroth, and said since he had left the house she thought it at least due to him that the eonveri i tion show the interest the suffragists I took in the work which suffragists in Colorado had urged. DEARTH OF PRINTERS. Probability Commands Attention of Publishers' Convention, New York, Feb. IS. Newspaper pub lishers who are attending the eigh teenth annual convention of their asso ciation at the Waldorf-Astoria de voted "Wednesday to a discussion of labor problems. Representative pub lishers from many cities told of the in creasing demands of the various unions and of the steps taken to avoid con flict. It was suggested that the pres ent union rules regarding apprentices have a tendency to not only limit the supply of printers, but to drive men of intelligence to other trades. One of the topics discussed was "From Where are the Printers of the Future Coming?" Another was, "Has the Payment of High Wages to Stereo typers Provoked Discontent in Other Mechanical Departments of News papers?" The convention went into secret session during the discussion of these matters. Convicts to Blake Brick. Leavenworth. Kan., Feb. 18. As soon as the weather will permit, E. B.

Meetings of State Temperance Union Searing End. Tonight's session, at which will be given the address by Rev. I. N. Mo Cash of Des Moines, will close the an nual convention of the Kansas State Temperance union in Topeka. On last night's programme at the Auditorium General John Q. Wooley, former presi dential nominee of the Prohibition par ty, addressed a good sized audience. The annual election of officers will be held late this afternoon. The appearance of few speakers on temperance in Topeka has attracted the interest shown in the address of John G. Wooley. The prominence gained by him in the presidential campaign four years ago made his one of the most interesting address on the pro gramme of the convention. At the time of the election in which he appeared as a candidate the Prohibition party showed an increased voting strength. Mr. Wooley believes in perseverance. Whether he appears again as a candi date he will be active in the coming presidential campaign. He regards the Prohibition party as a live factor with great promise in the future. The pro hibitionists are now working for the adoption of a national liquor law, plac ing some sort of federal restriction up on the traffic. Mr. Wooley believes that the Prohibition party will have to attend to this matter itself as the character of the leading political par ties in the United States offers little encouragement. He said: "I doubt if you can ever get the Re publican party to clean itself so that it can be able to handle the prohibition question. I don't believe the Demo cratic party can ever get itself clean it is in bad shape now and I doubt if it ever will be in power again. It is a sick party." In his address Mr. Wooley devoted some attention to the church people who profess belief in the tenets of the prohibition party but withhold their active support from the prohibition movement. As a party he believes that the prohibition movement should bring together all the support that it can possibly muster, persuading the voters of the country to trust other important national issues to the Judgment of the men whom they make their candidates and to place the cause of national pro hibition on an equal footing with the tariff or canal treaty issues. Mr. Wooley was frank in confessing that the Prohibition party was likely to have a long wait before it succeeded in carrying any national elections but held before his audience the assertion that without persistent effort they could never gather strength for vic tory. At this morning's session the sub jects under discussion were: "The Closer Affiliation a Temperance Work ers Needed in Kansas." and "Law En forcement: Its Possibilities." The ses sion devoted some time also to a parlia ment for local workers. Among the speakers on the programme were Col. J. B Cook. Chetopa: Rev. Robert Lid dell. "Galena; Rev. M. F. McHale, Her ington; George F. Fullin wider. El Dorado; Senator J. K. Codding, West moreland, and Rev. E. L. Jones, Buck lin. Rev. McCash. who will speak this afternoon and tonight, is superintend ent of the Iowa Anti-Saloon league. The attendance at the meetings at the First Methodist church morning and afternoon and at the auditorium at night, has improved considerably since the first day. It was voted this morning in the tem perance convention now meeting in this city to transfer tonight's meeting from the Auditorium, where it was to have been held, to the First Methodist church. The meeting in the Auditorium last night, addressed by John G. Woolley, might have been accommodated in the church. Dr. J. N. McCash will address the meeting tonight on "Civic Conscience." He is recognized in Iowa as one of the most eloquent pulpit speakers in the state. He is superintendent of the Iowa Anti-Saloon League, and his reputation as a temperance leader is well nigh na tion wide. Next week Dr. McCash will address the annual convention of the Minnesota Anti-Saloon League. NEWCMJSE FOUND For the Great Loss of Life In Iroquois Fire. Chicago, Feb. IS. The cause of the deadly wave of fire and superheated air that swept over the Iroquois mati nee audience, bringing instant death to hundreds, has been discovered by in vestigators employed by Corporation Counsel Tolman. The new theory will be demonstrated before the grand jury, and if accepted as correct may change the basis of the loss of life from the stage, where it was placed by the cor oner's jury, to the "front of the house." The investigation of Alfred Mace, a public aopraiser, covering a period of three weeks, led him into a large air chamber above the east wall of the building. Within this chamber, into which led ventilating ducts from 'every part of the theater, Mr. Mace found a large electric fan, which when in oper ation produced a draft of great force. He declares that he has convinced himself that this fan was operating during the fire, and that the draft it produced sucked the fire from the stage across the audience and against the east wall.

No greater calamity can j Detail a person than to exnausted. and prostrated feelings lollowing waxe ful, disturbed and unrefreshing nights are terrible. What wonder that there are so many shattered nerves, tired brains, and debilitated bodies, when we consider the thousands upon thousands who pass sleepless or dis turbed nights, and rise mornings feeling indescribably miserable, dragged out, scarcely able to face the day's work t What wonder that so many rise mornings from their beds, where they have lain with weary lids and sleepless eyes, tossing from side to side, or simply catch ing snort unrelresning naps filled with dreams, feeling heavy-headed, with pale face, haggard looks, dull and heavy. ringed eyes, and go j' pioymenr, witn. urea limbs, exhausted ener gies, nerveless and am. bitionless. There is one sure way to cure sleeplessness, and that is by the use of Dr. Greene's Kervura, the great brain and nerve invigorator. This wonderful remedy is Nature's own sleep pro ducer, and is perfectly harmless, being made from pure vegetable meaicmes iresu. irom the lap of Nature. It may be given to infants. children, or the most delicate invalids without fear. It soothes, calms, and quiets the weakened, irritable and over wrought nerves, producing per fect repose, and refreshing, natu ral sleep; at the same time it builds up and tones up the shat tered nerves and gives renewed life, N strength, vitality and vigor to the system. Mr. George Thomas, of Hammonton, N. says i For eighteen months I did not know what it was to sleep. I would go to bed and roll and toss all night with aches and pains. I doctored with five physicians of our town, with out any benefit. The last doctor told my wife I could not live the summer out. I fell away from 160 pounds to 90 pounds, so you see I lost nearly one half my flesh. "I was treated in two hospitals without any benefit, the Hannemann Hospital and Cooper Hospital of Camden, and they did me no good. I began to use Dr. Greene's Nervura Wood and nerve remedy, and have gamed 37 pounds, and can eat and sleep, and am feelins first class. Words cannot express my thanks to Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, for it has saved my life."

The governor said: "I think I have done my duty in bringing about law and order in the Cripple Creek district, and now I will take the burden from my shoulders and place it on yours.

"Bill" White says some very compli mentary things in the Emporia Gazette about Ottokar Malek, the great Po hemian piano virtuoso, who gave a re cital at the State Normal school at Emporia Tuesday night. The Gazette says Mr. Malek exactly fits Emporia's no tion of a musical artist. He is tall and slender and has a big shock of brown hair. He has a pale, spiritual face, has the required foreign name and foreign accent in his English, is rather care less as to his personal appearance, and has a Romantic Past. He smokes a great number of cigar ettes, which he makes himself from imported tobacco which smells like a fire in a dry goods store. Yesterday morning he went to the Normal to go through his daily practice, and horri fied the Normal people by rolling a cigarette and lighting it while at work. The janitor heard of it, and almost breathless with astonishment he hur ried to Mr. Malek and in a severe tone commanded him to "Throw that thing out of the window at once." The artist did not obey with enough alacrity to suit the janitor, and he repeated his command in a still more stem voice. Still the musician puffed away at his cigarette without moving, and the jan itor, to -whom disobedience was un heard of, said in a tone that would crush the proudest, "Do you know who I am?" "No," said the pianist. "I am the janitor." said the autocrat of the Normal. "Well, I am I," asserted Ma lek, and he took another drag at his cigarette. Malek has engagements which will take him until May to fill, but he says he is getting mighty tired of it already. He believes that a concert player leads the worst life of any living person. He says it takes him nearly all of the day to practice for his concerts, and nearly all night to play and talk to the peo ple who wish to meet him. In the Gazette's judgment the per formance at the Normal last night by Ottokar Malek eclipsed any musical event ever held in Emporia. The "young Bohemian who gave the recital is not only the most accomplished pianist who has ever appeared in Emporia, but he is considered by many competent musical critics to be the best in Amer ica this season. Not everyone who heard Malek knew much about "shad- f3 however, by the use of Mother's Friend before baby comes, as this great liniment always prepares the body for the strain upon it, and preserves the symmetry of her form.

Thousands gratefully tell of the benefit and relief derived from tha use of this wonderful bocL, telling all about Ri Brair.ald Eegiiatsr Co., Ga, ing," and "phrasing" and "technic," or whether he got such exquisite touch through his dexterity, or by pedaling or -by wearing his hair long, but no one at the concert last night who listened attentively and sympathetically couid help but enjoy the performance, or fail to see that Mr. Malek reads music with perfect understanding, and that he has practiced his art until he is able to make others see and understand as perfectly as he does. The programme selected by Mr. Malek for last night's performance was unfamiliar to the audience, and rather heavy, but every number was selected for the beauty of the music rather than to show off the dexterity of the per former. There is some diversity of choice, as the most beautiful numbers given by Mr. Malek, the Rondo move ment in G major by Beethoven, the Haydn Andante mpvement, the Chopin Fantasia, the two short Gruen feld numbers and Liszt's "Tarenteila" are all spoken of for first honor. Each of the ten numbers on the programme showed a different phase of his ability: in the Beethoven number he was able to show the most exquisite shading and n the Liszt number he displayed his brilliant technic. For the greatest pianist in the coun try with a reputation in Europe as well as here, Mr. Malek is a wonderfully unassuming young man. His manner on the stage was gracious and digni fied, and he do3S not rant or do any contortionistic feats in any of his num bers. Here is another and more technical opinion by Miss Jo Shipley Watson: Ottokar Malek. the uonemian pianist. is a wonderful artist. To hear him is to form new ideas of the possibilities of the niano. He is not a piano virtuoso who seeks to astound, amaze, bewilder an-1 confound his hearers with feats of skill and endurance. Malek is essentially a colorlst; his claim to distinction lies in his ability -to produce with the utmost exactness, finish and purity, the veriest whispers--of tone. His execution is faultiess. There is a delicacy and lightness about Malek's technic that is impossible to de scribe. Whether he plays Beethoven or Haydn, Brahms or Chopin, Gruenfeld or Liszt, he never sacrifices melody and tonal beauty. His interpretations show the development of a master mind, and one learns from Malek the true meaning of tone poetry and realizes that there is a new prophet in the pianistlo world. Every woman covets 8 6hapely, pretty figure, and many of them deplore the loss of their girlish forms after marriage. The bearing of children is often' destructive to the mother's shapeliness.

M'.i.,t,fr.,fr...i,, 1 1 AAl'&l11fA44!ll 11 I'll l I I' l' okar ma: i 4 One Case of Eighteen Years' Standing Given Relief. A TEST AT AAN ARBOR. After Injectment i'ain Is Stopped fn Ten Jl mutes. 8 fT IDF i UlUliV Does Not Declare That Process Kills the Germ. Ann Arbor, Mich., Feb. 18. The pos sibility of using radium to convert or dinary rain and well water into a min eral water, more highly medicinal than any known natural mineral water, has been demonstrated at the University of Michigan in a series of experiments covering the last ten weeks. Dr. Rollin H. Stevens, of Detroit, a skin disease specialist, who holds a lecture chair at Michigan, having spent last summer in Europe studying ra dium, returned recently to try his ra dium outfit on cancer. He hit upon the idea of immersing a radium tube in water, tightly closed in glass bottles. Dr. Stevens was look ing for a method by which radium could be applied to the interior of a cancer without any dangler of the ter rible radium, or X-ray, burns. He worked on the known phenom enon that every substance, brought even within a moderate distance of ra dium, absorbs the radium rays and af terwards gives them out exactly like a radium tube. By leaving a sealed tube in pure, distilled water for 24 hours he produced radio-active water, of powerful effects, as his tests imme diately proved. Injected into cancers this water stopped pain in ten minutes. His first patient was a man whose allotted life was one week, a sufferer from cancer and an X-ray burn. This man took morphine to endure his pain, but after one application of the radium water he was able to stop the morphine com pletely. Even in his weakened condi tion the home-made mineral water suc cessfully stopped craving for the drug and also prolonged his life two months. Other patients now under the rauiuin water treatment include one witn a cancer of eighteen years' standing, and some of the ordinary nose and breast cancers. The eighteen year cancer has had six weeks of water treatment, and from the first Ave minutes after ap plying water pain has been almost wholly absent. In each of the other cases pains stopped immediately, and several poor sufferers were released from the morphine habit, which had been forced upon them. Apparently the water is curing every one of these cancers, even the one with an eighteen year history, for all of them have steadily and consistently dimin ished in size, the worst one now being only half its former bulk. By the be ginninnpf March the mineralizing of pure water will begin on a much larger scale, for then radium tubes of 180,000 radio-activity will arrive. At present Michigan has nothing stronger than 60,000 radio-activity. Radio-activity de fined means the number of times a piece of radium Is stronger than the Influence of a piece of uranium, the metal from which the first radium was made. Dr. Stevens' theory about radium wa ter based on his own ten weeks' ob servation, is that radium may not, as commonly believed, cure cancer by killing trie germ. He says that no one ever yet proved positively that there was a germ to be killed. Watching the cancer cells, he observed first that mi nute holes appear in them, which en larged rapidly and quickly obliterated the cell. He names his process absorp tion. Candidates Endorsed. At the meeting of the Women's Municipal league in Lincoln Post h: Wednesday afternoon the endorsement of the organization was given to the candidacy of Fred B. Gillett for the council in the Fourth ward, and for C. V. Wolf in the Third ward. An ad journed meeting will be held in about two weeks. The Woman's Municipal league will take an active part in get ting out the registration for the can didates in the wards where there will he fights on the election. In the past they have exerted considerable in fluence in the Third and Fourth wards. C. V. Wolf owes his .election to the women's vote, as does also to a large extent Councilman Luther M.

Five months overdue from Iloilo, Philippine islands, and for a long time given up as lost, the four-masted ship Juteopolis was towed into port here today. With her crew completely exhausted by the ten months' battle with almost uninter rupted storms of two oceans, she was towed here from Delaware breakwater, but when in sight of port she was forced to anchor outside during the wintry gales for five days longer. The Juteopolis sailed frosn Iloilo on April 30, forty-two weeks ago, with a full cargo of sugar, reaching Honolulu only on September 10. A seaman was struck and killed by a falling block when the ship was off Cape Horn. WENT TO SEE GRANDPA. Two Little Boys Who Left a Topeka Farm. The following is from the Ottawa Republic: "Dear suzz! I hate to see those boys go. And their grandmother is just sick abed on account of their going." Grizzled "Doc" Bixler's kindly face wore deep lines of sorrow and anxiety as he talked to a reporter at the Santa Fe depot this morning, expressing himself as above. He referred to his two grandsons, Willett and "Cleve" Wasser, aged re spectively 14 and 12 years. Two years ago on motion of their mother they were placed in the boys' industrial school at Topeka. They were soon granted a parole for good beha vior, and were placed with a farmer, a Mr. Morrow, near Topeka, to wham they gave entire satisfaction. Morrow was delighted and the neighbors were envious of his good fortune. The in stitution was besieged for boys "like the Wasser boys." Then came trouble to the Morrow home. Saturday, February 13, the boys were sent to a field with a team. Later the team was found in the field but no boys. "We wanted to see grandpap," said the elder to the reporter this morning, "and so we walked home. That is, I did; 'Cleve' got a ride on the cars from Vinland." Morrow reported to the institution and a search was made. The boys were finally found with their grandparents, "Doc" and Mrs. Bixler. Monday even ing Truant Officer McCurrihan came down after them and the trip left for Topeka this morning. "I think the boys ought to be given to me," said the grandfather. "Wife and I have virtually brought them up. We idolize them and they are fond of us. Their mother doesn't care what becomes of them only that she can be legally rid of them." The mother was with her boys at the depot this morning. "It's hard for a mother to part with her babies," said she, "but I have no way of providing for them and I want them under good influences. At thrt Home they are taught industry, good trades and given a chance to acquire a knowledge of useful books. The influ ences are better than they would be with 'him' which pronoun the repor ter understood to apply to the wrinkled old man who hovered uneasily nearby. The two little refugees manifested much less concern than did the old people and made no trouble for the of ficers. HER BOD IX TRUNK. Texan in Pursuit of Rival Who He Avers Stole Body from Train.

JOKE ON THE VV. C. T. U. Some Malicious Person Starts Bogus Anti-Cigarette Campaign. Mount "Vernon, N. Y., Feb. IS. The Woman's Christian Temperance union of Mount Vernon is enmeshed in an endless chain scheme and doesn't know how to free itself. Some malicious person, with a per verted sense of humor, lately conceived the idea of a gigantic petition to con gress to pass a law prohibiting the sale of cigarettes to boys. He (or she) started the endless chain of letters. Several members of the W. C. T. U. here got letters and brought up the scheme in a meeting. The women took hold of it with a vim. Now, it is learned, that the endless chain letters are stacking up in the Philadelphia postoffice at the rate of 10,000 a week. Postmaster Clayton Mc Michael writes that the chain is run ning wild, and he doesn't know how to stop it. The Philadelphia man who was supposed to have started it, and who was to receive the letters for trans mission to congress, denies all know ledge of the scheme. The letters are variously addressed to the United States Moral society, the United States Marshall society, and the National Moral society. None of these concerns can be found. The postoffice people return the letters when there are return cards in the envelopes; the others, numbering about 5,000 weekly, are shipped to the dead letter office. The W. C. T. TJ. here is at the end of its collective wits. But it can't do a thing to stop the endless chain. UNIVERSITY MEN MEET. They Are in Session Today at New Haven. New Haven, Conn., Feb. 18.

WILL WAIT A WILE. Question of Publishing Railroad Tariffs Not Settled. Washington, Feb. 18. The interstate commerce commission today announced that as a result of its investigations of the feasibility of requiring railroads to publish the. tariffs for the movement of export 'and import traffic, the same as domestic traffic, it has decided to leave the matter in abeyance for a time. If the interstate commerce act is not repealed within a reasonable time, so as to relieve the commission of the ne cessity of requiring such publication, the commission holds that it will be its duty to enforce the publication of im port and export rates in the manner now provided by law, but so far not com plied with.

Horse Drawing Their Coupe Slides Sown Hill on His Haunches. Orange, N. J., Feb. 18 When the resi dents of Heywood avenue, one of Orange's fashionable thoroughfares, saw a horse coasting down hill as if he liked it, and dragging behind, him a coupe containing two women' and a staid-looking driver, they thought a new kind of circus had come to town. This impression prevailed until it was discovered that the horse was not coasting because he wanted to, and that the women in the coupe didn't think It was funny. The recent thaw sent a heavy flow of water and half-melted snow down the steep hill, and when the stiden freeze came it congealed into a solid mass of glare ice, and for days the street has been impassable and drivers have avoided it. The driver of the coupe, evidently not knowing what was ahead of him turned suddenly out of a side street and down the hill. His steed felt the uncertain footing and looked back appealingly to his driver, as if asking him to "please put on brakes or open the sand box." The driver pulled manfully on the reins and shouted "Whoa!" but the horse couldn't have stopped to save his neck, and feeling that all was lost he let his hind legs slide in front of him, sat down like a dog, and with his front feet braced coasted down the glistening slope, with his tail dragging on the ice behind him. The women in the carriage screamed and would have jumped out. but were reassured by the driver. The old horse coasted down on his hindquarters for 300 feet to the bottom of the hill, where his ca reer was brought to a stop. His haunches were bruised and his dignity greatly ruffled. S HOT WIFE DEA D. When Mrs. Senter Refused to Be Reconciled Husband Killed Her. Denver, Colo., Feb. 18. Frank G.

It ia stated on good authority that the proposed federation of the Cumberland and Presbyterian churches became an as sured fact at the conclusion of today's conference of the sub-committees rep resenting the general committees of both bodies which have been in session the past few days. It is announced on the authority of one of the churchmen present that all matters pertaining to the consolidation of the two churches have been amic ably arranged, and tiie only question remaining deals purely with the phraseology of certain prescribed forms. "I may say that the sessions have been most harmonious and the sub committees really had very little to do after the general committees had fin ished their labors," said the informant, who refused to have his name made public. "Of course, we are all proud of the results accomplished. It means a greater, better, more pr&sperous union of the two large Presbyterian de nominations, and we will have a fra ternal banquet in celebration of the event this evening." WERE IN BEFORE. Wheeler and Jordan Highway Rob bery Case Goes Over. The preliminary hearing of James Wheeler, charged with robbery, was set for hearing in city court today but con tinued on reouest by the defense until February 29. Whheler and Lillie-Jordan are charged with robbing I. P. Clark, a North To peka storekeeper, on the night of Feb ruary 6. On that night, just as he was closing up his little store, two negroes, a man and woman, came into the store, and the man covered Clark with a re volver. Clark made a fight, and would probably have overpowered the robber had it not been for the fact that they fell over a showcase in the struggle, giv ing the hold-up man the advantage. The negroes took $12, all the money Clark had, and escaped. From the de scription given by Clark, Wheeler and the Jordan woman were arrested next day. Both of these negroes are late in mates of the penitentiary, the woman getting out about five months ago, after serving a sentence of one year for arson. Bluefields Is Beached. Philadelphia,' Feb. 18. The Ericcson line steamer Bluefields, Philadelphia for Baltimore, was beached near .Marcus Hook, Pa. The Bluefields has a bad list. Her bow has probably been dam aged by ice.

When Tou Have a Cold. The first action when you have a cold should be to relieve the lungs. This is best accomplished by the free use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. This rem edy liquefies the tough mucus and causes its expulsion from the air cells of the lungs, produces a free expectoration, and opens the secretions. A complete cure soon follows. This remedy will cure a severe cold in less time than any other treatment and it leaves the system in a natural and healthy condition. It coun teracts any tendency towara pneumonia. Haskell vs. Y. M.

rOPEKA STATE JOURNAL THURSDAY EVENING. FEBRUARY 18, 1904. 4 1 1 ONE OF THE THREE GRACES. photograph of her as she sat In the cool gloom, a stray sunbeam resting on her head. Common politeness demanded that he ask for her father, and he did so, aa the time arrived lor him to taka his departure. "Father is in the library," said Eliza beth, "talking with Dr. Grayson. Won't you go in there? I am so anxious for you to meet Dr. Grayson?" Anxious to see what manner of man this successful rival of his was, Eradley consented. They entered "the library and Bradley saw seated in arm chairs Col. Ogilvie and a clergyman, whose face was kindly and whose age could not be leas than 70. The girl walked straight up to the cler gyman and said: "Dr. Grayson, I want to introduce Mr. Bradley to you. Tou prob ably remember his grandfather?" "Indeed I do," said the old clergyman, "and I am glad to meet his grandson. I hear you are living in the old place and I hope you have decided to make this your summer home, at any rate? There are many attractions in the neighborhood. I will take an old man's privilege and say that I think Elizabeth is one of them. You know, I married her father and mother, christened her and have always hoped to live long enough to marry her to some good man." "There are attractions in the neighbor hood," said Bradley, as he joyously re flected that he had no objection to Gray son marrying Elizabeth if Bradley was the bridegroom, "and I have about made up my mind to make this my summer home. Can you give me any encourage ment to do so. Miss Ogilvie?" She was standing where he could look into her eyes. I think he read his answer there. St. Louis World. THE MAN WITH A HEAD. The wedding of Margarita Grace, sister of the Countess of Donoughmore, and daughter of Michael P. Grace, the former partner of Andrew Carnegie, took place at Battle Abbey, England, November 4. It was a notable affair. The bridegroom is? a member of several New York clubs and an intimate of the Whitneys and Vanderbilts. The Wooing of Elizabeth When you stoo a runaway horse in a country lane and find that the buggy attached to the horse is occupied only by a girl, and if the girl is very fair, of blue eyes, like a rose leaf, it is your manifest destiny and duty to fall in love with the girl on the spot. At any rate, Bradley argued the matter out to himself that way. It was October in the bluegrass coun try of Kentucky the most beautiful time of the year in what every true Kentuckian and many other people say is the most beautiful country in the world. Bradley had owned a place near the Forks of Elkhorn for two or three years, but this was his first visit to it. He had boutrht it because It had be longed to one of his ancestors and had come on the market at a ridiculously low figure. Even a successful New York lawyer has some sentiment in his makeup, and it pleased Bradley to think that he owned the place where his grandfather had been born. Really, his stopping the runaway horse had not been a thrilling rescue, and he felt a little uncomfortable as he thought that possibly he appeared slightly ridiculous in the eyes of the Cirl. He was sitting, thinking the matter over, on the white-columned porch of his own house, which he had already begun to think of as home. He had claimed and been given the privilege of driving the girl home, and had been introduced to and thanked by her father. Colonel Ogilvie, whom he remembered to have heard of as a gallant and distinguished officer of the Confederate army. Colonel Ogilvie had known Bradley's father and remembered his grandfath er, so was quite willing to accept him for what he appeared to be and was a gentleman. Thus the acquaintance progressed. He saw much of Elizabeth Ogilvie, and found himself falling more and more in love with her. She, and no other, he had made up his mind, would be the fitting mistress for his old country house. From his confidence in winning her he was awakened by a chance remark she made. Her father happened to mention the name of a Dr. Grayson. Something in the girl's manner made him suspect a possible rival. When Bradly threw out an apparent ly idle question as to the identity of Grayson, and his relations to the Ogil vie's, Elizabeth said, demurely: "He is the dearest fellow in the world. He is going to marry me." The young man did not wear his heart on his sleeve, neither did he allow his face to betray his emotions. Nevertheless, the girl was certain that she saw a little hardening of the lines around his mouth, and his voice was al most harsh as he politely expressed his regrets at never having met Dr. Gray son, and added that he should certa-inly be congratulated. When Bradley got home that evening he sat on the white columned porch again. But there was no pleasant day dreamland beckoning him to enter now. The gates were closed, and he was on the outside. Philosophy is a great thing, but when one is in love it does not help one to think more kindly of his successful rival. He would go back to New York at once. Next day he rode over to Ogilvie's to say good-bye and explain carefully and mendaciously that a wire from his partner had summoned him. Elizabeth, met him in the long, cool drawing room, and. as he looked at her, it seemed to him that she had never seemed so entirely desirable as she did now when he knew that she was to marry another man. She expressed some surprise and a polite amount of regret at his being called away suddenly. Her manner was light, and it was not for a mere man to read behind the manner and see that her heart was heavy. Th-y talked for a while on noncom mittal topics, and all the while Brad ley's eyes were fixed on her, that he might take away with him a mental There were three drug stores In Liv erpool, and Liverpool had about 7,000 inhabitants. There was a good deal about the town and more about the stores which might be called old-fash ioned. In addition to drugs ana iancy articles, each store dealt in outside goods. One was half grocery, another had boots and shoes, and the third sold agricultural implements and Ohio car riages, and its proprietor was also in terested in a spring bed and a patent churn. If any man had declared his belief that a straight-out drug store would pav expenses he would have been called a fool In answer. Things had been going on in this mixed-up way for many years when a stranger ap peared in town and began loafing around the drug stores. He was a cur iosity and a subject of gossip, and most of the gossipers whittled away at pine shingles and decided that he didn't amount to no great shakes. The only citizen who sized him up correct iv was TTncle Eben Schemer horn. He took his time about it and chewed up half a plug of tobacco before he said: "Wall, boys, 1 hain't givin no ujjm ion as to how 'taters will pan out this fall but as to that stranger he's got a head on him. Yes, sir-e-e, you can see that he's got a head on him." Of course he's got a neaa on mm, but what of it?" asked one of his near- ers. imfFIlANEOUS i L ifv ANDs- PULL AN A. D. T.

Again Uncle Eben chewed tobacco anu mureu a shingle and said: "Boys, I nam t saym wnciuc. ,t i -,.oot fnr coons or not, but don't you make no mistake on Harper. Mr TTarner VISltea ail llie uuiiir houses and assured tneir piupneimo that he didn't propose to carry any of their lines. That announcement appeal thir oifish interests, and he made a score of friends at once. He brought on his family and aiviueu nis cuoium evenly around in the matter of meats, groceries and dry goods. That increased his list or rrienas. ciian6c terlor of his store all over, put in a displav window and a soda fountain, and one day was ready for business. Business came, but not with a rush. People wanted to "wait and see.' The other druggists were aroused and meant to hang on to their customers. Mr. Harper might be all right, but he was cutting a wide swath for Liverpool. One day he dropped into the "Weekly Herald" office ana naa a conuutuuai chat with the editor. When he left, it was to go over to the "Banner' and have another confidential chat. Uncle Eben knew nothing about these visits, but a day or two later, when someone re marked in his hearing that the drug gist with a head wasn't taking in a bar rel of money per day, the old man bit a fresh hunk off his plug and replied: "Don't you worry your gizzard about that new feller. I was in his store last night after some sulphur, and I saw sunthin' in his eye that told me there was a hen on." The "hen" betrayed herself when the next issue of the "Herald" appeared. In a double-leaded article, nearly two columns long, it attacked the new drug gist in savage style. It purported to eive his history for many years past. and about the pleasantest thing it said of him was that he was an escaped convict. That article was written by Mr. Harper himself, and he paid $15 for its insertion. The excitement around town r to a day later when -e i'i list ued the "Herald" for $100,000 damages. It got still another boost when the "Banner" came out with a two-colu.mn article and denied each and every charge of its esteemed con temporary. It did more. It boldly an nounced that the editor of the "Herald" had spent six months ir an Ohio jail for stealing hogs. The libelled editor at once sued for heavy damage3 and called the other man a thief, robber and pi- iA it. ii. .i.iaiijr i.iijmeu uiu.1 wit? was IX t.

There were a thousand people in Liv erpool who said that Mr. Harper ought to be arrested, and who wondered why it wasn't done, but at the same time at least half of them sneaked into his store to get a closer look at him, and, of course, bought more or less. Sher iffs were even sent for from the sur rounding counties in hopes that be mignt De ltientinea, out it was remain ed that they all looked silly after leav- inK his store. Reporters came rrom some of the big dailies, but never note did thev lot down in their books. When the excitement had continued for two months it somehow leaked out that it had all been created by Mi Harper in the way of advertising, in deed, an announcement was made to this effect in both papers, and in those respective issues the hustling druggist had three full-page advertisements. A few citizens were mad, but most of them were enthusiastic, and there was only one drug store in Liverpool after that. Farmers would drive eight miles to buv P.ochelle salt at Harper's, and the townspeople kept his fingers sore making change. He was soon made chief of the fire department, elected al derman of his ward, elected a trustee of the leading church, and when he died. ten vears later, he was one ot the ncn est men in town. Uncle Eben wasn't exactly on the inside, and there were a few things he didn't know, and yet he chewed away at his plug and whit tled away at his shingle, and with many sagacious nods of his head he said to the crowd: "T hain't oredictin" about the weath er next winter, nor the grasshoppers next summer, but I'm sorter givin' you a hint that we ve got a aruggist in this town with a head on him."
