Japanese Beliere Makaroff Has Left the Harbor. Gone to Join the Vladirostok Squadron With His Ships. ADMIRAL TOGO WARY Continues to Operate His Battle ships iu a Bunch. lie Doesn't Know Where the Russian Vessels Are. Tokio, March 15. It is strongly be lieved here that the Russian fleet abandoned Port Arthur after the fourth attack was made upon it by the Japanese fleet and is endeavoring to reach Vladivostok. Confirmation of this movement is not obtainable from any reliable source, but recent scout ing in the vicinity of Port Arthur has failed to reveal the presence of any Russian warships. It seems logical enough that the Russians should at tempt a dash for Vladivostok, where it is possible to dock larger ships, effect a junction with the armored cruiser squadron, and secure a base for oper ations while possessing adequate land defenses. The hopelessness of con tinuirg at Port Arthur is manifest, while a dash for Vladivostok might succeed, contrary to the opinion pre viously expressed. Vice Admiral Togo is unwilling to run the risk of dividing his battleship squadron, and continues to operate the six battleships together. If the Russians should make an at tempt to reach Vladivostok. It is be lieved they will try a dash through the Korean straits rather than enter the Japan sea through the Sugaru straits JAPANESE LOAN A SUCCESS. "Washington, March 15. The Japa nese legation has received a dispatch from the government saying that th total subscriptions for the treasury loan of 100,000.000 yen aggregated 152. 25.'; 75 yen, of which 33,523,400 yen rep resent subscriptions above the issue price for the bonds to be issued on ac count of the loan and 49,833,825 yen iep resent smajl subscriptions below 200 yen. These two subscriptions, amount ing to S3,357,22o yen, have preference for acceptance, the cablegram said, and the remainder, amounting to 156,842,775 yen will be allotted proportionate! v among the other subscribers at the is-i sue price. JAPAN'S CONTROL OF KOREA. London, March 15. The Correspond ent of the Times at Seoul comments on the remarkable civil influence which Japan has brought to bear upon Korea without adopting an attitude of over bearing coercion. The correspondent says that on tin; contrary everything is being done to conciliate the Korean, but he points out that from Chempulo to Seoul every controlling influence is Japanese rail way, police and telegraph. He adds that Japan must have been laying the foundation for this condition of affairs for many months. ALL QUIET AT PORT ARTHUR. Port Arthur, March 15. All is quiet in the Port Arthur district and no news has been received here from the scene of the land operations, where the move ments of the opposing forces are evi dently confined to reconnaissance. DECLINED WITH THANKS. St. Petersburg. March 15. The em peror has declined with thanks the of- rers of the German and French Red Cross societies to supply contingents iui service in me new. JAPAN RECEIVES HER DEAD. Tokio, March 15. The steamer bear ing ten wounded and the bodies of nine seamen who were killed in the Port Arthur fight on the 10th Instant, has reached Sazebo. The w ounded and dead were chiefly participants in the battle between the Japanese and Russian torpedo boat destroyers. The survivors unite in praising the desperately heroic attack on the Russians and tell a story of a personal encounter between a Jap anese sailor and the captain of theRus sian destroyer Steregustchi. When the Japanese closed on the Russians the sailor sprang aboard the enemy's vessel and met her commander emerging from the cabin. Sailor and captain "sprang at each, other but the seaman was the quicker of the two and felled the Rus sian officer by striking him on the head wun a cutlass. The Russian endeav ored to rise but the Japanese sailor kicked him overboard and he drowned. The Japanese say there were 22 dead on the two Russian destroyers. The re port of the death of Engineer Minamis wa was premature. He is very low. The Japanese dead were landed at Sazebo and received with full military honors. They were borne on gun car riages to the naval brigade headquar ters. PORT ARTHUR CHANNEL NOT CLOSED. St. Petersburg, March 15. The report from New Chwang that four Russian steamers have been sunk at the en trance to Pert Arthur after the removal of the battleship Retvizan, is authori tatively denied here. The Associated Press is assured that with the exception of the dispatch of yesterday from Gen eral Zilinsky no official telegrams con taining news of fighting have been re ceived in the last 48 hours. Several telegrams relating to the movements of troops have arrived, but as these were only of strategic importance their contents will not be made public. THE RUSSIAN ADVANCE. Mukden, March 15. (From a Russian correspondent of the Associated Press:) The machinery for the advance of the Russian forces is working smoothlv from Harbin southward. The running of passenger trains has been resumed and Russian families are proceeding on their way to Europe without confusion. Severely cold weather, accompanied by blizzards and snow storms has been followed by a succession of fine days. The health and spirits of the troops are has been received at headquarters to the effect that the Jap anese a?e strengthening their positions In Korea. General Linevitch, acting commander of the Russian forces in Manchuria, visited headquarters here on Sunday. General 'Zilinsky who is to succeed General Pflug. Viceroy Alexieff's chief Of staff, arrived here today on his way to Port Arthur, whither he is going to act as chief officer of the squadron flagship. JAPANESE REFORM IN KOREA. Seoul, March 15. The effect of the Japanese-Korean protocol has already been felt. It was learned today that sweeping changes will be made in the Korean administration. Corrupt offi cials will be cashiered, cruel punish ments will be abolished, and the postal system will be extended. A Japanese officer is about to be appointed ad viser to the war office, and prefects who have kept the money intended for the peasants in payment for grain bought for the Japanese will be prose cuted. "Great preparations are being made for the reception of Marquis Ito. A FIGHT LAST SUNDAY. Tien Tsin. March 15. A foreigner just a,Tived from Port Arthur reports an engagement took place between the Russian and Japanese fleets on Sun day last, the protected cruiser Diana, belonging to the former, receiving some injuries. About 20 shells were ex chaneed. The imperial Chinese Royal Railway company is considering the withdrawal of its station force and all of its mov able property from New Chwang. A PROTEST FILED. Tien Tsin, March 15. The haste of the British and American gunboats to leave New Chwang, while the Inten tions of the Japanese are unknown ana while consular jurisdiction and the full treaty port rights of neutrals are un questioned, thus prematurely abandon ing the protection heretofore main tained, has provoked the indignation of residents and an official protest has been made to the United States gov ernment. This was done especially in view of the action of the Japanese in placing their consulate and other prop erty under protection, the example be ing imitated by the Russians trans ferring, as indicated in previous dis patches, their extensive bank, consular and also civil administration properties to the French, thereby rendering Rus sian, Japanese and other interests alike neutral. The protest was also sent be cause the manner of withdrawing a British gunboat, and what is under stood as the American intention of withdrawal are regarded as palpable neglect, inviting depredation on British-American interests. NEWSPAPER MEN RECALLED. Seoul, March 15. The Japanese au thorities have ordered the newspaper correspondents at Ping Yang and Anju to return. They also refuse to honor the permits foremrly given for corre spondents to accompany troops to the frontier and are holding them at Seoul. This action is regarded as significant. HOLDING UP MERCHANTMEN. Port Said, March 15. The Russian armored cruiser Dmitri Donski is vis ible from this port, actively patrolling in search of vessels carrying contra band of war. She mistook the Italian armored cruiser Marco Polo for a mer chantman and stopped her by firing a blank cartridge across her bows. On discovering her mistake the Dmitri Donski signaled an apology. The Dmitri Donski stopped the Norwegian steamer Standard this morning. It is said the Standard was within the three mile limit. The warship afterward signalled hereto proceed. CHINA SGI VES. ASSURANCES. Washington,' March 15. The state de partment has received formal assurance from Chlnsrthat the government cf that country will insist on the observation of the strictest neutrality toward both sides during the present war on the part of Chinese subjects. This assur ance is in' addition to the formal notice of neutrality already generally pro claimed by China. It is believed here that assurance given to the United States will be useful in finally allaying the apprehensions expressed by Russia that China would be led by Japanese successes into a breach of neutrality. WILL OBEY THE LAW. Hill Denies That He Will corporate in Canada. In- New York, March 15. In regard to the report that the Northern Securities company of Canada was to be the suc cessor of the Northern Securities com pany of the United States, President Hill was quoted today as saying: "We have as much notion of incor porating a company in Mars or the moon as in Canada. We intend to con fotm to the law." Later James J. Hill gave out the fol lowing: "Until the full official copies of the opinions and decree of the supreme court have been received and our attor neys have had an opportunity to advise as to our course of procedure, the offi cers can make no further announcement than to declare their purpose to prompt ly and fully follow the law as now in terpreted." Ottawa, March 15. The Northern Se curities company was granted a charter by the Dominion government soon after the original suit was brought against tne American corporation in Minnesota. The directors named in the bill of in corporation were Canadians, but it was understood at the time that James J. Hill was interested. The charter i3 still In existence, although no step has been taken to operate under it in Canada. minersIndIgnant. Brans Is Third Officer Assault ed in Colorado. Indianapolis, Ind., March 15. At the national headquarters of the United Mine Workers indignation was express ed over the assault in Colorado of Chris Evans. Evans is nearly 60 years of age and despite his long service in var ious official capacities with the miners, he has never been before assaulted. He was editor of the United Mine Workers' Journal in this city for several years and served as national statistician of the organization. Prior to being sent to Colorado last November by the ex ecutive board he had charge of the dis bursement of funds in West Virginia to the strikers. He is the third official of the United Mine Workers who re cently has been assaulted in Colorado. The other two men who were assaulted and seriously injured were W. R. Fajr ley, member of the national executive board from Alabama, and James Kooney, member of the national execu tive board from Missouri. The Weather Today. The weather today is warmer. The temperatures recorded by the govern ment thermometer were as follows: 7 o'clock 21 11 o'clock 34 8 o'clock 22 12 o'clock ,36 9 o'clock 26 1 o'clock 40 10o'cloek.. 30 j 2 o'clock 43 Wind 11 miles from the south at 2 P. iu. VOTE TOMORROW. The Republican City Primaries Will Be Held. Only Interest Is in Three of the Wards. LIVELY IN THE THIRD. Effort Being Made to Force He nomination of Wolf. Close Contest Looked fas Sixth Ward. in Though there is little to indicate it except the calendar, this is the day be fore the annual Republican city pri maries to nominate six councilmen, six members of the board of education and a new Republican city central commit tee. The polls will be open Wednesday from 1 p. m. to 7 p. m. The vote will be light, except possibly in the Third, Fourth and Sixth wards. Returns will be received at the city jail by the Re publican city central committee. Indications are that S. S. Rice will defeat Fred Gillett for councilman in the Fourth ward. Gillett has been out of town for some time and has not made an active campaign. Rice, on the other hand, has the backing or most of the Fourth ward politicians, and has been very active. The fight in the Sixth ward is likely to be close, with the chances favoripg the defeat of W. A. Myers by Col. J. W. F. Hughes. Myers has been sup ported by S. A. Swendson and Geo. Tincher, and the tight is rather be tween Swendson and Hughes than Myers and Hughes. Hughes has made an extensive hou3e to house canvass. even in the Lowman Hill and Auburn dale districts, where his opponents live. Things are very much mixed in the Third ward. Under ordinary conditions there would be no opposition to C. V. Wolf for a second term, but the de mand was so strong for a good, trust worthy business man as a representa tive from that ward that M. Snattinger consented to run in opposition to Wolf. W. S. Fulton, who left Topeka two years ago. is back in town to do some ward heeling for Wolf Wednesday af ternoon. He hopes to get the job of city engineer in case of a change in administration. Fulton, Mrs. Margaret Hill McCarter and others have been hard at work lining up the Third ward women for Wolf. This is one of the political pheno mena of the dav. Wolf does not pro fess to be a prohibition man, either in personal habits or principle. Yet he has the Third ward feminine machine supporting him as a "temperance" can didate. Wolf's cards, announcing himself as a candidate for councilman, were print ed at Ai Bauer's nonunion print shop. This has aroused the indignation of a good many Third ward union men, who vow they will not support a "scab." A WHISKY STORY. Mark Mason, who was a clerk for the flood relief committee during the work at the Auditorium, said today: "Fred Jewell and I were in charge of the blanket supply in the dressing room at the left of the stage. Wolf came in the day after we commenced to distribute blankets, with a young man named Davis. Wolf had a bottle of whisky, wrapped up in a pink paper. He invited us to step down under the statre and take a drink. Fred Jewell went down and drank with them. J stood at the head of the stairs and watched Wolf drink. When they came up, Wolf said, 'For God's sake, don t tell anybody about this. It would ruin me with the law and order people.' The next day Wolf and Davis came in again with a large bottle of whisky. Both of them had been drinking. They went down under the stage, and drank. When thev came up. Wolf said to me, I wish you'd take that bottle and hide it. It's in behind those ballot poxes, and I've cot all I can hold. Don't let either Davis or me have any more of it.' After he left, I went down aim found the bottle and hid it under a pile of blankets. The witnesses to this were Fred Jewell. Lee Carter and youn Davis. I don't know where Davis ia now, but Jewell and Carter will make affidavits to the truth o.f these state ments. I am willing to sign such an affidavit myself. There nre so many of these indisputa ble stories about Wolf drinking that he has ceased .trying to make people be lieve that he is a temperance man in All he contends now is that he wants the prohibitory law enforced because it is on the statute books. One of Wolf's grandstand plays for temperance support was an ordinance which he pushed through the city coun cil last fall. This ordinance provided for a tax of $50 a year on every billiard table in town. It was preposterous on it fare, but the "law and order eoun niimen were afraid to turn it down. Consequently Wolf got his ordinance through, amid great applause from his "law and order" constituents. The bil liard hall men took the ordinance into mint, and knocked it out m jig-time. The city paid the costs and lost all bil liard licenses for six months. That is a snecimeti of Wolf's "law and order" record. USEFUL INFORMATION.

A rumor comes from Muscogee, In dian Territory, that former Governor W. E. Stanley has resigned his place on the Dawes commission. The rumor is not confirmed, and Governor Stanley, whose office is at Tishomingo, has not replied to dispatches sent him asking about the report. A Wichita dispatch, however, says that Mrs. Stanley, who is at home there, confirms the report that the governor has been contemplating resigning for some time, but was waiting until the Bonaparte investigation was completed. Governor Stanley was not at the Re publican state convention last week be cause of the press of business at Tisho mingo. A large number of the clerks in his office had been sick, and he had even sent for his son, Harry, to come down from Wichita to help with the work. At the time the appointment on Dawes commission was offered Gover nor Stanley a year ago, to succeed Sena tor Dawes, the originator of the com mission, he hesitated about accepting it for fear it would take too much of his time, and he wanted to rebuild his law practice at Wichita. After he ac cepted the appointment he found that it required practically all of his time at Tishomingo. In speaking of the reported resigna tion at Wichita last night, Mrs. Stanley said: "I do not know that he has resigned, but I know that he has been expecting to return home soon. When he ac cepted the appointment he thought that he would be able to get home at least every two weeks, but ihe found that it was too confining, for he has had no time to be home either to look after his practice in the district nor in the federal courts. Since the holidays he has been at home only once. He has had since theru 14 meH lir his office who were sick. This wu largely responsi ble for keeping him from home. He has intended resigning as soon as Mr. Bonaparte finished his investigation. Of course, he could not resign while under fire,"-but I know that he only has been waiting for the investigation to come to an end so that he could re turn home. He wrote me last a few days ago that Mr. Bonaparte's report had been sent to Washington and that it contained nothing in criticism of the Tishomingo office, which was his office. He was feeling pretty good over fhat, and I suppose his resignation was sent in at once. He is quite a home man, anyway, and we are anxious to have him back. BROWN MEN GO HOME. They Nominated O.J. Nugent for Senator Before They Left. Troy. Kan., March 15. The Brown county delegation in the senatorial con vention for Doniphan and Brown coun ties, which has been deadlocked tor several weeks, attempted to take snap iudement on Doniphan county last nieht bv meeting a tew minutes Deiore the time to which an adjournment nn'i been taken and nominating O. J. I.u gent for state senator. The Brown con tingent alleges tnat rneir action whs regular and three of their delegates caught a train for nome at omy seven minutes after the convention was scheduled to meet. The convention had taken over l.dou ballots when it adjourned in the alter- nnon to meet at 7:30 in the evening. The Doniphan county delegation alleges that it went to the hall a few minutes before the convention was to meet, but finding that the Brown county delegates were holding some sort of a meeting, they supnosed it to be a caucus and only one Doniphan county man went in until just 7:30. It is alleged that only eight of the ten Brown county delegates were pres ent. They counted the one Doniphan cmintv man present and nominated Nu gent, adjourning at 7:30, the time the convention was supposeu 10 meei. The Doniphan county delegation re fused to accept the action of the eight Brown county delegates, and went ahead with the balloting. A Brown county alternate, Colonel Ryan, met with them, giving them eleven votes present. They adjourned until this morning, and today the eleven agreed upon an adjournment until Wednes day, March 23. Resolutions were adopted today before the adjournment, setting forth the action of the Brown county delegates last night in meeting before the appointed time, and alleging that the convention "now in session is the regular senatorial convention. The Brown county delegates yester day filed a statement with the county clerk alleging that they are entitled to 14 delegates instead of 10, but as the call is for 10 and as they have been ac cepting the call for weeks, the Doniphan county delegates say the statement does not amount to anything.

Democrats in Second District Are Interested. They Think That They Hare Chance to Win. NOT ALL ONE WAY. Defection iu Wyandotte County May He Important. Mr. Bowersock's Majority Two Years Ago Was 4,358. That there is a chance for the Demo crats to elect a Democrat in the Second district if the feeling there continues as it is as present there seems little doubt. That is why there is a probabili ty of a scramble for the Democratic nomination this year. There is scarcely a county in the dis trict where there is not more or less turmoil, and if Congressman Bowersock is declared the nominee by the state election board, as his friends declare he will be. there is a strong probability that he will be knifed at the polls by enough Republicans who feel outraged at the way things have been done in the Second district this year, to defeat him. Two years ago Mr. Bowersock was elected by a plurality of 4,358 over Noah Bowman of Garnett. Bowersock carried seven of the nine counties in the dis trict, while Bowman carried only two, Miami and Anderson. He carried Wyan dotte by over a thousand majority, but this year the Wyandotte politicians, say that county will give a thousand ma jority against him. If this is true it would cut down his majority outside of Wyandotte to about 2,350. The following is the vote by counties in the last election: u o 3 B a o m -J o N9 COUKTIES. 33 Allen 2,6441 1,4881 2,454 2,4W 1,68' 977 Anderson -1.5P9 1.8901 1.2291 2.001 1 lli- Bourbon Douglas 54 J, 178 1 flPi. 139l. ..a- 1,0341. f ranklin Z.019 Johnson 2,017 1,779 1.973 1.S78 Linn Miami Wyandotte 1,158! 2,(105 6,3071 5, sua Totals i 23,608 19,291 4,5011 Bowersock's net plurality, 4.S5S. There is not a county in the district in which Mr. Bowersock will not lose heavily, unles it is his own couutv. I JDouglas. Nearly every other county would give a majority against him, with the possible exception ol Allen, and he would lose considerably there. Anderson county would go against him by an increased majority, as many of Henry Allen's supporters would vote for the Democratic nominee in prefer ence to Bowersock, simply as a rebuke to the methods wmch Bowersock em ployed. Miami county, which Bower sock lost before by only 32 votes, he would probably lose this year by at least a thousand, if the present feeling continues. Linn is more favorable to Bowersock, but there are Republicans, in Linn county who say that the county will give a good majority against the present congressman. Johnson county would undoubtedly be against him. In Bourbon the feeling is very intense against Bowersock, and it is asserted that not only would his 518 plurality there be wiped out, but a considerable majority would be given against him, and the same is undoubt edly true in Franklin, Mr. Allen's home. Wyandotte county is quite likely to give as large a majority against Bow ersock as Douglas is for him, so the only question which remains is. Can Bowersock hold enough in Allen county to balance the majorities which would be rolled up against him in Anderson, Bourbon, Franklin, Linn, Johnson, and Miami? It therefore appears as though the Democrats have good grounds for their hope that they can elect a Democratic congressman in the Second district, if Mr. Bowersock is placed on the ticket. Some of the strongest Republican papers in the district cannot support him, since they are now asserting that his nomination was practically stolen. And altogether it looks as though the honor may be an empty one, even though Bowersock wins before the contest board. If the nomination should be given to Henry Allen it might .put another phase on the proposition, as Wyandotte would stand by Allen, and he would hold most of the Republican strength in tie other counties, while his own would roll up a good big majority for him. The probability that Bowersock will be -defeated if Allen persists in contest ing his nomination is probably the rea son why Bowersock s trlends are so anxious to persuade Allen's friends to get him to withdraw the contest. The Kansas friends of Fourth Assist ant Postmaster General Bnstow are not inclined to take seriously the ru mor that he is to be removed as a re sult of the outbreak of the lower house of congress against him. Bristow has been "removea so onen Dy tnose whom he has offended that Kansas peo ple are used to it. The trouble with his "removals" is that the president has never ratified them, and Bristow's friends refuse to worry about this latest outbreak. And since the press of the country has taken a second thought on the matter, many editorial" writers are in clined to the opinion that Bristow is pretty safe, no matter what the dis closures in the report may be. In an editorial on this subject the Chicago Record-Herald publishes the following: The most significant thing to be no ted in connection with the hysterical outbreak occasioned in the house by the Bristow report is that the facts contained in it are not questioned. Th report does not accuse congressmen of illegal acts or of corrupt practices. It simply cites instances in which mem bers of congress brought personal In fiuenee to bear upon postal officials to secure favorable postoffice leases or in creased clerk hire. The statements in each case are specific as to person, time and place. They show that in numer ous instances the congressmen's inter Dosition resulted in increased expend! tures which upon later investigation had to be cut down. (Continued on Page Six.) MISS FULLER TAKEN HOME. One of Last of Willard Wreck Vic tims Still Helpless. Miss Mollie Fuller, the young woman who was the last live person taken from the Willard wreck, was taken from Stormont hospital this week by her brother, W. K. Fuller, to her home at Blockton, Ia. They stopped at Kan sas City on the way, as Miss Fuller was not able to stand the long trip ah In one day. Miss Fuller's foot was terribly man gled in the wreck. She was taken out from under a pile of several dead bodies. It is feared that her injuries will prove permanent. No settlement has yet been made with the Rock Is land company, and it is probable that a suit will be commenced against the company. Miss Fuller has been in the hospital for eleven weeks. There remains at the hospital only one other victim of the wreck, a man named Wright, whose arm was man gled, and has become partially para lyzed. BISHOP FINK IS LOW.

Has Not Been There for Three Days. Humor Says That He Will He Seen There No More. Chicago, March 15. A special to tha Inter-Ocean from Waschington says: Commissioner Ware has not been at the pension office for three days, and there is a rumor that he will not re turn. It Is said he opposes the rulings of former Commissioner Green B. Raum,. who was the first to interpret the pension act of 1S90 and made his interpretations favorable to the pen sioner rather than against him. Commissioner Lochran, in the second Cleveland administration, revised the rulings of Commissioner Raum and compelled the pensioners to comply with the letter of the law rather tnan its spirit, and rulings of Lochran have prevailed ever since, though the old sol diers have complained that the Repub lican administration is following a Democratic precedent and not a Re publican one. Commissioner Ware has not been, popular with the old soldiers, and is not popular in Washington. He is accused of being more of a martinet in office than any of his predecessors. He re sents the overturning of his rulings by. the pension board of appeals and Mr. Miller,' associate secretary of the inter ior. He has appealed to Secretary Hitchcock and the president to over rule Miller and the board of appeals, but In vain. His resentment may lead him to resign. It ia intimated that the president hopes for such an outcome, as it may' enable him to remove the cause of fric tion with the pension office without hav ing congress pass a service pension law. The president told the G. A. R. commit tee that he favored their bill for a ser vice pension. The house is ready to pass a pension bill, but the senate lead ers do not want such a bill placed be fore them with the indorsements of the president and the house. There is apparently only one way to prevent such legislation that is the resignation of Ware and the appoint ment of a pension commissioner who will return to the liberal rulings of Com missioner Raum under the Harrison ad ministration, or even more liberal rulings in tha cases of veterans who are disabled but eatrnct prove that their disability is due to service in the army. It is understood the president is look ing for a, foreign, berth for Ware that he may appoint a hew commissioner and get back to Republican interpretation of the pension laws. Washington, March 15. The Star, savs: A visit recently made by Eugene F. Ware, pension commissioner, to the White House, is declared to have been connected with a serious clash report ed to have arisen between Mr. Ware and Melville W. Miller, assistant sec retary of the interior department. This clash is declared to be the result of aopeals in pension cases. Mr. Mil ler is the official of the interior depart ment who has supervision of all pen sion cases upon which appeals have been taken. The statement Is made that his views of pension cases have been so much at variance with those of the commissioner of pensions that the latter has become angered and has demanded of Secretary Hitchcock and President Roosevelt that an investiga tion be made to determine whether he has acted properly.-- To back up his demand he has, it is declared from an unofficial source, submitted his resig nation to the president, on the condi tion that it is to be accented should' he be not vindicated in the claims that he makes. It is alleged that the two officials of the interior department have not at ail agreed on a line of policy in pension cases, and that their official and per sonal relations are anything but satis factory. Mr. Ware, who is more or less independent about remaining, w-here he is. demands, according to the story, that his claims be investi gated that he may be either vindicated or turned down by persons higher in authority than Mr. Miller. Secretary Hitchcock has had consid erable business at the White House in the last week or so, but it is not known whether the reported trouble in the pension establishment is one of the matters under consideration between himself and the president. The story is not treated at the White House in the light of an ac curate one. It is said that Mr. Ware may have been getting off one of his nice little much misunderstood jokes, or he may have concluded to do some thing at some later date about re signing. CONFERS WITH ROOSEVELT. Mr. Wars at the White House and Couldn't Be Seen. Washington, March 15. Mr. Ware is at the White- House this afternoon in conference with the president and cannot be interviewed in regard to foreign appointment alleged to have been offered him. His private secre tary stated to the correspondent of the State Journal, however, that Mr. Wars is conferring with the president on a matter relating purely to the pension offices. He said further that he could state positively that no such appoint ment had been offered Mr. Ware and that nothing of the sort is contem plated. The report is generally dis credited here. HOUSE PASSES A BILL. To Segregate Coal Land in In dian Territory. Washington, March 15. The house today passed a bill authorizing the sec retary of the interior to segregate cer tain coal and asphalt lands in the Choctaw and the Chickasaw nations in the Indian Territory. The house then went into committee of the whole for the consideration of postoffice "ap propriation bills.

McCoy Sticks tTp S5,000 to Force Fitz to Fight Him. Kid Is in Earnest and Wants to Prove He Is Able. BOB'S CLAIM IS JiO GOOD Considine liaises Considerable Fuss Over the Matter. Intimates That the Cornishman Couldn't Make 158 Pounds. New York, March 15. "Money talks,-' they say. Granted this is true, the $5,000 check -with which Johnny Considine has hack ed Kid McCoy's challenge o Fitzsim mons, has this to say: "Considine thinks McCoy the great est fighter of his weight and inches In the world." "Johnny says the 'Kid' is the world's middleweight champion." "Old Man Robert Fitzslmmons has kept his press agent busy lately circu lating a report that the middleweight title is stowed away in the Kangaroo s strong box in the old homestead at Kensonhurst." "This report has raised a terrible heat under Johnny's collar." "Fitz middleweight champion!" he fays: '"Why. that old fossil couldn't do the middleweight limit, 15S pounds, if he cut a leg off. And if he can McCoy will knock his block into the next street." "This is not exactly classical, but I em here to demonstrate that it bears the merit of truth, for right there and then the Considine fountain pen gt.t busy and I was pushed out into the cold, heartless world. "My mission on earth is to live up to the adage, 'money talks,' and hol'er my head off until Mr. Kangaroo 'puts tip or shuts up,' and I'm going to holler until I get black in the face." That's a pretty busy check consider ing its youth, and now it's through spouting I'll get in a few remarks my self. Answer this: Who is middleweight champion of the world? Ask Bob Kitsimmons. Ask "Kid", McCoy. Ask Tommy Ryan. Each and every one of the trio of wind-jammers will flash a warranted, topper-riveted title to the middleweight honors. Fitz says he can do the weight. If he can he is certainly a strong candi date. Ryan coins many a dollar by tacking the middleweight title to his tlKee sheets. McCoy has "cleaned up" for Mr.Ryan at couple of times, and now that his Kidlets has rounded back to his old time form, certainly shows he has faith In his ability to "hang it on" Fitz by eending a $5,000 forfeit along with his challenge to "Ruby Robert." DEXTER TO MANAGE TEAM. Boston Outfielder Signs Contract With Louisville Club. Louisville, Ky., March 15. In a pri vate telegram sent to Louisville George Tebeau, owner of the Louisville Base hall club, announced that Charley Dexter hj suffixed his signature to a Louisville contract and will play with and manage the team this year. Dexter secured his release from Bos ton. which claimed his services, but the telegram does not say whether the little outfielder purchased his release himself, as he said he would possibly do, or whether Tebeau bought the re lease.

Minehan shut out the opposing side without a hit or run, and caused some of the ablest Giants to open their eyes in astonish ment. The boy is only nineteen years old, quiet, unassuming, and rather bashful except when he gets In the box, when he is a regular Comanche Indian. The old men tried in vain to rattle him, but in spite of the fact that he had been at sea four days and was ill most of the time, the boy had all kinds of speed and tricky curves.' He showed splendid contro"l, and handles an in shoot with the best of them. STRONG TEAM FOR GIANTS. George JDavis While in Chicago Tells of New York's Baseball Prospects. Chicago, March 13. George Davis, while in the city yesterday on his way to join the White Stockings at Marlin Springs, discussed the New York base ball situation. "The National league has all the best of the situation in New York," said Davis, "and the Giants will have to play mighty bad ball this season not to draw just as well as they did last year. It is hard to break off the habit of Gotham fans of going to the Polo grounds, and especially when the transportation fa cilities are so bad to the new American league park. There is very little danger of the Giants drawing less than they did last year, though, as they will have a better team there than they did last season. "McGraw has picked up a wonder in this new pitcher, Ames, and I think that he will be as a great a drawing card as Rusie ever was or Mathewson is. Ames has everything that a pitcher should have speed, control and all kinds of curves. He is a husky young fellow with a good head on him and is so speedy that in a practice game last fall, while pitching to Bowerman, one of his hot ones- got through the big catcher's glove and put him out of it for several days. They had to carry Bowerman to a hospital and the doctors there said that a cannon ball could not have done much more damage than Ames' swift ball had. "This addition of Ames to the pitching staff will give McGraw three whirlwind slabmen Mathewson and McGinnity be ing the other two. Other National league teams will have a time beating those three pitchers this year. Bill Dahlen will strengthen that infield. Mc Cormick and Devlin are two youngsters who will handle themselves pretty welt, too, I think. McCormick led the East ern league last summer and I have never seen a player that has led that league fall down when he came into the big leag-ue. "Griff is going to have a great team in New York, too. there is no mistake about that. But the transportation facilities for getting to the American league park are bad and the under ground will not get up that far this year. "I am not in- very good condition to play ball, but I think that it will not take me long to be as good as I ever was. My arm is all right and I can whip the ball across to first as fast and as accurate as ever. I played some last year, but, of course, could not say that I was in good playing condition, all the time. I used to go up to the grounds every morning to practice with the men and attended every game in the after noon when they were at home. I am glad to get back into the game again and shall play my best bal for Comis key this year." Ottawa 24; Lawrence 16. Ottawa. Kan., March 15. The Ottawa university basketball team defeated the Kansas university five here Monday afternoon by the score of 24 to 16. The game was marked by fast team work on the part of the locals. Kansas uni versity displayed some good Individual work but lacked team work. Milwaukee Wants Young Corbett Milwaukee, March 15 The Milwaukee Athletic club is trying to effect original plans for the services of Young Cor bett in the arena of Its house at an early date, his opponent to be Charley Neary. As outlined by an officer of the club in this city, the plan is to ask each member of the organization to put up an assessment of at least $5, the entire amount to go toward making up a purse of $5,000 for the battle. It appears that enough of the members of the Milwaukee club have agreed to do this to insure the biggest part of the purse, and the club sent a tele- r I gram to Young Corbett at his training quarters near San Francisco asking If he would accept the match. The reply was: '"Glad to accept providing I beat Britt and get through without acci dent." The club therefore is anxiously awaiting the result of the Corbett Britt contest March 25,- and there is likely to be some tall "pulling" for the Denver champion. FOUGHT TO A DRAW. Yanger and Herrera Have a Spirited Battle. Chicago, March 15. Benny Yanger of this city and- Aurelia Herrera fought a six-round draw before the American club last night. The fight was hard and fast for the entire six rounds. Both men scored knockdowns in the third round, when Herrera put Yanger to the floor with a hard left on the ear and Yanger, who rose instantly, sent Herrera down with a left hook to the jaw. Herrera depended on a left hook for the greater part of his fighting, while Yanger a straight left to the head and a right to the body for his work. Racing at New Orleans. New Orleans, March 15. Tlie opening of the New Louisiana Jockey club's spring meeting was disastrous to the favorites, Frontenac being the only one to finish in front. The defeat of Viperine in the Crescent stake, for Which she was a hot favorite at ft to 20, was the heaviest UDset of the day. Dixie Lad, the second choice, was at 7 to 1, and the others at a larger price. The slow track seriously affected by yesterday's rain did not suit the Mor ris filly, and her usual speed was lack ing. Deleva, at 13 to 1 in the betting, led from end to end. winning easy by three lengths. The race was worth $900. J. J. McCafferty has signed Jockey Livingston for the coming- year. Racing at Frisco. San Francisco, March 15 Fine weath er prevailed at Oakland, but the track was muddy. Close finishes marked three of the races. The last event, at six and a half furlongs, for 3-year-olds, aroused the most excitement, whn Sailor Knot and Celebrant fought it cut all through the final fuflong, and Daly landed Sailor Knot first by a nos?. Solanus, the favorite, was a close, third. Dr. Leggo, a 15 to 1 shot, proved a sur prise by taking the 2-year-old race, beating Bill Short a 'neck. Bob Ragon, the favorite, stopped badly, Galanthus was much the best in the fifth and won handily from Mr. Farnum, a 25 to 1 chance. In addition to winning the 2-year-old race, Charles McCafferty took a purse with Chickadee. Oklahoma-Kansas League. Oklahoma City, Ok., March 15. Man agers Flaherty and Rogers of the Ok lahoma City baseball team in the Southwestern league, and Ted Sullivan have returned from Kansas, where they made arrangements for the opening of the league season and the final selec tion of the cities that will make up the league. The towns in Kansas will be Hutchinson. Wichita and Winfield and in Oklahoma, Enid, Guthrie and Okla homa City, making a six-club league. The season will be opened at Oklahoma City on May 1 and 120 games will be played. Racing at Los Angeles. Los Angeles, Cal., March 15. Favor ites had a hard time at Ascot, only two out of the six coming under the wire first. Namtor clipped a half second oft the track record for a mile and 100 yards, going the distance In 1:48. Electric Light Plant to Burn Oil. The Burlington electric light plant will experiment with crude oil as a fuel instead of coal. Bob Foster, the manager, expects to make the trial within a few days. He already has a large tank of LeRoy oil at the plant and is waiting for an atomizer. If the oil works satisfactorily the plant will do away with the use of coal. Batdorf Co. have been figuring on getting an oil burner for use in their tile factory, and will probably put in one in the near future. The oil found at LeRoy is excellent for such use and is cheap. Burlington Jeffersonian. Brown County Pioneer Dead. Hiawatha, Kas., March 15. E. R. Cornelison, who is dead at his home in Reserve, was the first white settler in Brown county, pre-empting a home stead here in 1854. He and his wife lived there for forty years, but later made their home in Reserve. Mrs. Cor nelison died in 1895, but three sons, all merchants, survive their father. At the time of his death Mr. Cornelison still owned his old home place, which is now valued at almost $100 an acre, besides several hundred acres of other valuable land. Fire Guard Did the Work. Russell, Kan., March 15. The only farmer in the track of the prairie fire which recently swept over Russell county who escaped is W. A. Marsh. Mr. Marsh had been the laughing stock of the neighborhood for months, be cause early last fall he plowed a fire guard forty feet wide around his house, barn, sheds and stacks. This fire guard, the largest ever seen in the county, stopped the fire and his property, with the exception of a few fences, escaped destruction. His neighbors in a strip of country eight miles long and four wide lost thousands of dollars worth of property. Fortune for a Soldier. "Jack" Hoagland of H troop. Fourth cavalry, will leave for New York on April 1. on a 30 days' pass to attend the reading of his grand uncle's will on April 5. "Jack." who is well known both at the post and in town, is to inherit a sum of $58,000. There are 31 heirs to his grand uncle's wealth, his share being $25,000, but he will also inherit two-thirds from his rather, who died some time ago, which will amount to about $R3,0C. At the ex piration of his 30 days' furlough Hoagland will put in a request to be discharged by favor. It is said that he will go into business in New York.-Leavenworth Times.

KANSAS JEVS. Facts Regarding Western Wheat Fields Are Oiren. Trego Count Crop Stories Al most Bejoud Belief. ALFALFA A FEATURE. Thomas County Pastor Culti- rated 500 Acres of Grain. Gare Him 13,000 Bushels of Wheat and $9,000. Wa-Keeney, Kan., March 15. Here are some facts regarding certain Kan sas wheat fields which have proved to be veritable gold mines: TREGO COUNTY. F. Stradel purchased in 1902 a section of land. He sowed 312 sod acres of winter wheat; harvested next year over 8.000 bushels of wheat, or an aver age in excess of twenty-six bushels per acre; sold wheat at 68 cents per bushel, or an aggregate of over $4,000: raised also 1,600 bushels of sod corn twenty five bushels per acre. Mr.Stradel's first crop, on sod land, realized him about $1,200 above the actual cost of the land itself. Thomas Slmoivish bought in 1897 480 acres at $5 per acre on time payments. wis assets consisted of $365 in cash, a wife and five children. One good crop followed another, and last year this Austrian immigrant to Trego county threshed 8.763 bushels of wheat and thousands of bushels of oats and barley from about 300 acres. His entire 4S0 acres are now paid for and fenced, a comfortable family residence, big barn and good outbuildings have been erect ed; an $1,800 threshing machine and a fine bunch of cattle have paid for them selves, and Mr. Simoivish has $1,500 to his credit in the local bank, while his cultivated area for 1904 will reach 350 acres. E. Miller purchased in 1901 160 acres at $7 cash per acre. His harvest pro ceeds have enabled him to acquire ad ditional acres until he how owns one and a half sections of land. Mr. Miller purchased last year a $2,500 threshing machine and held over from his crop of 1903 4,000 bushels of wheat and 1,000 bushels of oats. F. Kruht had 450 acres in wheat last year, which averaged thirty-four bush els per acre. Jlr. Kruht's steam threshing machine by the way, hand ling In Trego county 140,000 bushels of wheat and scoring the world's cham pionship by threshing 4,070 bushels In ten hours. John Hixon bought in 1901 a half sec tion of land at $12.50 per acre. Since then his wheat harvests have netted him enough to not only pay for the original half section, but to also pur chase an entire section additional, to gether with a bunch of dairy and beef cattle, now numbering 100 head. Mr. Hixon'3 last year's wheat crop covered 400 acres, yielded an average of thirty- two bushels per acre, tested fifty-eight pounds per bushel, and sold for an. ap proximation of $8,000. J. H. Dietrich harvested last year 241 acres of wheat, with a yield of from twenty to forty-one busTiels per acre, the average returns being thirty bush els per acre at 61 cents per bushel. This tarm has recorded an average of eign teen bushels per acre of wheat for the past six years, on land originally cost insr $3.75 ner acre, and is now1 of fifteen- fold return over the first cost of the land itself and farm improvements. The Dietrich home also boasts a fine or chard of apple, peach, pear, plum, apri cot and cherry trees, together with all the berries and a lovely locust grove. Mr. Dietrich has satisfactorily tested macaroni wheat, and will have a large acreage of this great grain this year. W. Bower of Coliyer nas sown too acres of macaroni wheat, and expects a most (profitable return, it being esti mated, In this connection, tha Trego county will have this year 400 acres in macaroni wheat with an aggregate har vest of 20,000 bushels. In 1897 R. C. Wilson purchased at $10 per acre 110 acres of land, with depths to water ranging from twelve to ininy feet, which he seeded to alfalfa. The first year after seeding Mr. Wilson net ted J385 from his alfalfa, and in 1900 sold out to H. Bartlett, an investor from Athens, O., for $25 per acre. Mr. Bart lett cleared enough money from his 1901 alfalfa harvest to more than reim burse him for the entire cost of the land. Trego countv abounds with instances similar to the above in successful alfalfa culture. Three cuttings per year are secured, with an aggregate yield of five tons per acre, while the market price ranges from $8 to $11 per ton, it being a local axiom that alfalfa win return i& per cent per annum on every $40 invest ed in its cultivation. Trego county last year produced in round figures $726,000 worth of wheat from 65,000 acres, an average of nearly twentv-one bushels per acre, with a cash value of $726,000, while the adjunc tive products of alfalfa, corn, barley, rye, oats, potatoes, millet, sorghum. Kaffir corn, poultry, eggs, garden growth, live stock and wild hay swelled the total of county values to $1,396,000, or an average of over $2,000 for each family of now county residence, or in farther and flattering analysis, a cash return of $466 for each man, woman and child of present Trego county popula tion. Wa Keeney. the seat of Trego county. is offering liberal bonuses for the erec tion and operation of up-to-date flour and feed mills and a hotel, the mills to have a capacity of 150 barrels of flour per day and commensurate chop feed equipment, while the hotel should have sixty rooms and a construction cost of $10,000. In the above flour and feed mills con nection it can be noted that a new grain elevator is projected for this year at Colono, a Union Pacific station just west of Wa Keeney, while the chop feed de mand of the county is of urgent an nual expansion. THOMAS COUNTY. The Rev. W. M. Sedore diligently tills his own fields as well as his Master's vineyard, cultivating last year 500 wheat TAKING GOLD? Then you need constant attention.

David Clarke harvested 11,500 bushels of wheat last fall from 400 acres, an average of twenty-nine bushels per acre, and banked about $10,000. Joseph Duffey's last season's wheat return was 8.000 bushels from 300 acres, or 30 bushels per acre, with a cash result approximating $7,500. One hundred and twenty acres of Mr. Duf fey's wheat ground were leased from the Union Pacific Land company under the terms of one-fifth of the crop, the Union Pacific Land company realizing $394 therefrom, or, in other words, these 120 acres of Thomas county wheat land cashed ia their last year's harvest at $1,870. James Sturdevant harvested last fall 3,800 bushels of wheat from 114 acres, or over 33 bushels par acre, and fig ures un over $3,000 in cash.. C. H. Howard threshed last fall 8,500 bushels of wheat from 250 acres. 34 bushels to the acre, and about $7,000. SHERIDAN COUNTY. Isaac Custer'B last year's wheat har vest was 8,000 bushels from 230 acres, or over 34 bushels per acre, with an approximate crop value of $8,500. T. Havercamp cropped last year 280 acres with a return of 10,000 bushels of wheat and 3,000 bushels of other small grains, his harvest values approximat ing $10,000. GOVE COUNTY. Chris Beougher harvested last season 10,500 bushels of wheat from 300 acres, 35 bushels per acre, for which he re ceived 88 cents per bushel, or $9,240. Joseph Ort threshed 5,040 bushels of wheat last fall from 100 acres, or in excess of 50 bushels per acre. Mr. Ort devoted, in addition, three acres to ex perimental culture under the Campbell system and harvested therefrom 78 bushels per acre more Turkey red wheat than ever before raised on the same eround area either in North America or Europe. A. A. Phillips threshed 12,000 bushels last year from 480 wheat acres, with a crop value reaching $10,000. Wayne Davenport's wheat last season covered 200 acres, yielded 35 bushels ner acre. and sold for $7,000. LOGAN COUNTY. The Schultz brothers raised last year 8,000 bushels of wheat on 260 acres, or 32 bushels per acre, -with an approxi mation of $7,000 harvest sale. George Albion cultivated last season 80 wheat acres under the Campbell system, reaping therefrom 52 bushels per acre, while a large acreage under usual oroD method returned 30 bushels per acre. Mr. Albion is $6,000 richer than he was this time last spring. AURIFEROUS AVERAGE. .The sixteen farmers scattered through the five western Kansas counties of Trego, Logan, Gove, Thonjas and Sheri dan, and enumerated above in this arti cle, harvested last year an aggregate, in round numbers, of 4,600 acres of whent, with an aggregate return to these six teen farmers of, in round figures, 144.W0 bushels of wheat, or, in round figures again, of thirty-one bushels per acre. These 144,000 bushels of wheat command ed a market value of from 5S cents to 88 cents per bushel, with 70 cents per bushel as a fair average, which means that these sixteen western Kansas farm ers realized an aggregate of over 5100,000 in cash from their 4,600 wheat acres, or an average, in round figures, of over $21 per acre. THE! CAMPBELL SYSTEM. The Campbell system of agriculture, from which such rich results are being obtained in western farming, means nothing more or less than a cropping of the concerned soil every other year with a careful and scientific preparation of the ground during the twelve months' in terim. The farmer plows his ground to a depth of from seven to ten inches in the fall, thoroughly pulverizing the soil by the use of a heavy harrow. In the next early spring the soil is again har rowed, the harrow being thereafter used after each recurring spring rainfall, the result being the formation of a dust de posit or crust, which effectually con serves from wind sweep, or natural at mospheric evaporation, the moisture gar nered in the soil during the winter snowfall or spring rain precipitation. In the fall this long prepared and moisture guarded soil is sown to winter wheat, for instance, with a next year harvest re sults which rivals, if not actually sur passes, the most prolific returns of west ern canal Irrigation. Distributed beneath the western dry divide areas at, perhaps, a minimum depth of three feet, is a clay subsoil deposit impervious to water. The Campbell system of "dry" region agricul ture is therefore really a scientific appli cation of natural irrigation, the winter and spring moisture being thereby con verged and actually reservoired upon the broad surface of the impenetrable clay subsoil, a fact which fully explains why western Kansas soil under the Campbell system is yielding as high as seventy eight bushels per acre, while immediately adjoining acreage, farmed with usual sea son conditions, returns from twenty to thirty bushels per acre. At least 26 per cent of the farmers of western Kansas have already realized the farming fortune embraced in the Camp bell system, and it is safe to say that within the next five years this system will completely revolutionize western Kansas farming, with the undoubted re sults of a practically doubling of the wneat narvest per acre, a neavy increase in wheat weight test and the adding of at least 50 per cent to the market value of the lands of the new Kansas wheat belt comprised within the limits of Trego county on the east and the Colorado line on the west, with the coming of a still later Campbell system wheat belt to stretch from the tastern Colorado line on the Union Pacific railroad to within sight of great Denver herself.

Macaroni wheat is a recent introduction from the steppes of Russia to the plains of the Great American central west and, borne onward and upward by the broad and free pinions of the American eagle, already bids fair to snatch the center of macaroni wheat cultivation and market from the paws of the big Russian bear. Macaroni wheat is essentially a late spring sowing and a short summer har vest, being alike susceptible to frost and of strong and early ripening. Sown on the facile and fertile soil of the broad American central west from the middle of April to the 1st of May, this wheat fully matures in August's later and fervid suns, the yield being from forty to sixty bushels per acre. It can also be sown in the early fall for excellent winter stock pasturage, in which case a drilling of ad ditional seed in April will insure a full season crop of the grain itself. Macaroni wheat derives its name from the fact that its flour excellence has long made it the chosen grain for the produc tion oi me superior nour necessary to tne manufacture of macaroni a production which heretofore has been a Russian har vest rnonoxioly. i n is wneat is under United States gov ernment natronaere and the national de partment of agriculture is now fie-urine" on the establishment at Kansas City of a pouring- mill with the necessary special machinery for the commercial treatment of the grain, there being at present onlv twenty mills in the United States so equipped. This wheat boasts a grain one third larger than any other known wheat, has a thick and hard hull and is rich in bran and "shorts" produce. Gove county, western Kansas, last year harvested 40,000 bushels of this wheat and will have a sowing this season of 1.200 acres, which will yield at least 60,000 bushels. SPELTZ. Speltz which may be called barley's first cousin is being rapidly introduced in western Kansas and eastern Colorado. The grain is softer than barley and is said to be superior to that cereal as a stock feeder. J. E. Springer of Gove county, Kansas. harvested fifty-nine bushels to the acre of this new grain last year, while divers other Gove county farmers were also successful In speltz production. The grain markets at from 25 cents upwards per bushel, all the Gove county yield commanding 50 cents per bushels for seed purposes, with the great est seed demand from central and eastern Kansas localities. Speltz will have a big western Kansas acreage this year. LIVE STOCK INDUSTRY. A new live stock feeding Industry is springing up In western Kansas, with a coming legitimate extension to eastern Colorado. This Industry embodies the pur chase of steers in the early fall by farm ers, the grain and forage feeding of these steers during the fall and winter months A Case of La Grippe I Is most dangerous in its after-effects.

HILL CITY WOMEN'. Are Numerous in a Professional Way and Credit to the Town. Hill City, Kas., March 15. Lieuten ant Governor Hanna lives in Hill City. He likes a rustling, busy town. He is a sinele man, but that don't prevent the town from having a large number of rustling women. If there is another town ia all the confines of northwest Kansas which has so many rustling women let them say so. In this class worthy mention is made of Dr. Lottie R. Flndley, physician and surgeon; Mrs. Ida M. Harwi, who has been ad mitted to practice before the courts; Olive M. Kackley, present register of deeds, also talented musician and elo cutionist; Mrs. Lucy J.

Brant, present deputy treasurer. Besides there have been three 4adies of the town on the school board. There are a dozen or more of the Hill City ladies teaching school In the town and various schools in Gra ham county. FOB, AN 98,000 SCHOOL HOUSE Hill City Residents Are Preparing to Vote on the Question. Hill City, March 15. Petitions are be ing circulated here calling an election to vote $8,000 for the erection of a school house to take the place of the one which burned recently. The peti tions are being generally signed. The Graham county high school proposition is also being agitated, a special act having been passed by the last legisla ture providing for the erection and maintenance of a county high school in Hill City, and efforts are being made to effect a consolidation of the city schools and the high school interests. Should the proposition of consolidation carry a high school building costing from $18,000 to $20,000 will be erectfd. M. J. Creighton.manager of the Boston cash store, is one of the most perse vering and active workers for the wel fare of Hill City and Graham county in rebuilding the new school house. Wind Kills Hessian Fly. Dr. Patton's man who lives on his place west of Arkansas City was in town today and he tells of the great good the wind of Wednesday did for his wheat field. Others from that part of the country corroborate the story and sav that since the storm they have seen nothing of those little pests the Hessian flies. It will be remem bered that the storm was preceded by a few warm days and these hatched out the Hessian flies. These young ones were unable to fly very far at a time when Wednesday's wind struck them, and it killed nearly all. The rain that followed completed the work, and a thorough examination of the fields since has failed to show any flies. This is a good report, and It is to be hoped that the results will be up to the ex pectations of the farmers. Arkansas City Traveler. Ellis County Russians. A storv has been running through the newspapers to the effect that hundreds of the Russian settlers in Ellis county had rushed to the district court for their nat uralization papers in fear that they would be compelled to return to Russia for service in the Russian army. The storv was pure invention. In the first place nearly every Russian in Ellis county took out his naturalization papers years ago. The adult male portion of the colony have been voting American citizens for 'io years and thev have made Ellis county tne banner "Democratic county of Kansas ever since the election of Cleveland. As a second proposition, the Russians of Ellis county would not be subject to ser vice in the Russian army even if they had not become American citizens. More than a century and a half ago the Rus sian government induced large colonies of Germans to settle in Russia in order to teach the semi-wild men of that country the arts of agriculture. The treaty under ohtfii these Germans went to Russia pro vided that up to the end of a certain per iod, expiring about thirty years ago, they would be exempt from all military ser KM 'U U UkuUU Vt4if n Li pure.

Large num bers of them elected to migrate, many going to Brazil, and more to the United. States. The Russians of Ellis county are Ro man Catholics and they were permitted under their agreement with Russia to hold and practice their religion despite the fact that the Greek church is thq state church of the Russian mpira. The Mennonites of southwest Kansas are also from Russia, and they are descendants of German colonists who went to Russia un der the same terms as the Cathollo Ger mans whose descendants live in Eliinv county. It is well known that the creed of the Mennonites prohibits war or ser vice in the army. That they lived in Rus--' sia so long and maintained this ;creed 4 due to the exemption from military ser vice which was guaranteed by -the czar to their forefathers. They too, had the right to emigrate at the expiration of the treaty period.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH 15, 1904. 3 RAILROADNEWS, Merger Decision Is Main Topic of Conrersatlon. What the Decree Prohibits Officials from Doing. REFUSE REHEARING. 11 ill Says Does Not Care to Ask for One. Merger Management Probably Has New Scheme on Foot. Kailroad circles throughout the coun try, which for months have been wait ing for the supreme court's decision of the Northern Securities merger, are now busily discussing the effect of that decision. A Washington dispatch says that the decree of the circuit court which the supreme court affirmed contained the following: Enjoining the Securities company. Its officers, etc. "From acquiring or attempting to ac quire any more of such stock. "From voting any such stock at auy meeting of stockholders of either rail road company. "From exercising or attempting to exercise any control, direction super vision, or influence on the acts of either railway company by virture of its hold ing of stock therein. From allowing the Securities com pany or its attorneys or agents to vote the stock held by it. "From paying any dividends on such Btock to the Securities company. "From permitting the Securities com pany, or its officers, etc., to exercise any control over the corporate acts of Buc'h railway company." The decree further provides that it shail not be construed as preventing a re-exchange between the Securities company and those to whom it has is sued its own shares in exchange for those of either railway company. J. J. Hill when asked whether he would move for a rehearing said: "No. 1 don't think we care enough for a re hearing to ask for it." For some time Mr. Hill and his friends have been preparing for an adverse decision in the case, and it is confidently expected that they will an nounce some new plan of procedure which will avoid the provisions of the Sherman anti-trust law. Several days ago it was stated by one of the Hill clique that it made very little difference to the promoters of the merger w hether it was sustained or not. Such talk may have been given out merely to cast discredit on the whole subject of anti-trust legislation, but it is highly probable that the rail road companies will find some way to pool their interests whether they pool their stock or not. TRUST LAWYER'S OPINION. Omaha, Neb., March 15. Gen. Charles F. Manderson, general counsel for the Burlington railroad, one of the lines affected by the supreme court decision in the Northern Securities merger case, said the decision would not In his opinion either benefit or injure the general public. He also stated that it would in no wav affect the manage ment of the three lines included in the merger, the Burlington, Great North ern and Northern Pacific, and that each of them would continue to oper ate as separate and competing corpora tions. BANTA IE MAKES TRADE. Swaps Arizona Land to Uncle Sam for 3,000 Acres in Minnesota. Thirty-three patents, running to the Santa Fe road and segregating approxi mately 3.000 acres of land in Lake county, Minnesota, have been issued by the de partment in Washington. This land is given to the railroad company in lieu of like holdings it relinquished, as a portion of the "Arizona forest reserve." It was permitted to make selections in any other part of the country where the government held land, and after an inspection chose the property in Minnesota. Much of the tract is heavily timbered witn pulp wood and pine, and it will be valuable as pooh as a railroad line has been built into bat locality, so that it can be shipped out of the country. Kansas City-Houston Railroad. Muskogee, I. T., March 15. There are rumors here of a new railroad project3d to be built from Kansas City to Hous ton. Texas.

WOULD INJURE STATE. Peculiar Argument Advanced Against Iowa 2-Cent Fare Bill. Western railroads operating In Iowa are making strong efforts to defeat the Delano bill compelling the railroads In the state to fix a maximum passenger rate of 2 cents a mile and abolish all re duced rates and free passes. P. S. Eustis, passenger traffic manager of the Burlington; W. B. Kniskern, passenger traffic manager of the Northwestern; J P. Elmer, general passenger agent of the Chicago Great Western; and L. M. Allen, general passenger agent of the Rock Island, returned yesterday from Des Moines, where they made argu ments before the senate committee of the Iowa legislature. Mr. Eustis was the principal speaker for the railroads. The delegation argued that there was not enough passenger traffic in the state to warrant a 2 cent rate. It was stated that anyone buying mileage books could get a 2 cent rate and that the average passenger rate In Iowa at present is only a trifle more than 2 cents. State Senator Delano asserted that If the railroads were restrained from granting reduced transportation and is suing free passes they could earn more money than they do now. Against this argument the railroad officials made the statement that they could not cease giv ing mileage rates for commercial travel era, granting half fare permits to clergymen, or giving reduced rates for conventions without causing hardship to the persons interested and injuring business interests of the state. The railroad officials think they have convinced the senate committee that the proposed legislation would be unwise, and they believe the bill will be beaten in committee. A similar bill was intro duced in the Minnesota legislature a short time ago, and an adverse report was made by the committee to which it was referred. NEW STATION ESTABLISHED. Santa Fe Locates "Sugar Creek" for Standard Oil Company. Kansas City, Mo., March 15. Prepar ations for the building of the big Stan dard Oil refinery at Sugar creek are proceeding rapidly. A gang of men be gan work yesterday morning putting in the two switches connecting the re finery site with the Santa Fe tracks. Paul Morton, second vice president of the Santa Fe railroad, wired Kelly Brent of the firm of Brent Crittendon yesterday, informing him that a station nad been located at Sugar creek and that the depot would be built at once. Mr. Morton said that the new station would be named "Sugar Creek." The Standard Oil officials have already an nounced that the new refinery will be known as the "Sugar Creek refinery." A town site company will be Incorpor ated next week for the purpose of build ing up a town to be inhabited by the employes at the refinery. The company is composed of Kansas City men. They have purchased a 145-acre tract near the refinery site. In accordance with an order from W. C. Cowan, second vice president of the Standard Oil company, the purchasing agent of the company is contracting for the material for the buildings. A con tract was closed yesterday for 10,000 barrels of cement and 100 car loads of crushed rock. Both of these contracts were made with Kansas City firms. Negotiations are under way for the pur chase of the lumber, brick and other material to be used in the construction of the buildings. All of the material for the new plant will come from Kan sas City except the steel tanks. The contracts for the cement and crushed rock closed yesterday provide for im mediate delivery. It is expected that active construction on the plant will be gin within ten days. ENGINEERS WILL MEET. Form a General Chairmen's Commit tee of All American Roads. Chicago, March 15. Locomotive engi neers from all parts of the country, Canada and Mexico will meet in Chi cago next Saturday and form a general chairmen's association.

The eastbound Santa Fe passenger train No.; 6 pulled by engine No. 1022 had a streak of bad luck yesterday just after leaving Newton. About 3 miles east of the city the engine broke down and the train was backed up to the station and another engine, the 454, was attached.: A delay or nearly an hour re 1 suited from the accident. The trainmen I say the train was a hoodoo on the ground that the day -was Friday and men Tlia Attacked by Diseases Due" to Cold, Exposure and the Terrible Strain of their Work, Alotormen and Conductors Are Made Strong by .This Wonderful Remedy. The daily work of a motorman is enough to break down a constitution of steel. He must face cold and storm day and night. Cooped up on his narrow platform, he must stand while the bitter winds pierce him to the bone, no matter how heavy his clothing. Every minute he must be on the alert, and in the midst of suffering his judgment must be quick and sure, for an error may cost a human life. Tired and hungry after hours of work that keep his nerves tense as fiddle-strings, he sits in the corner of a car to devour a cold, hasty meal from a tin pail. These brave men are exposed to risks as great as those of the battlefield. Fortun ately, when nature can stand the strain no longer, the railroad men know where to find new strength and energy. The statements printed below tell of wonderful cures by Swamp-Root, the great Kidney Remedy. Swamp-Root Cured Me. (TO A REPORTER.) "Like magic fittingly describes the manner in which Swamp Root cured me of poor digestion, coated tongue and I03S of appe- tite, of many years standing. I tried nearly every medicine for 6tomach trouble that was recom mended to me, without relief, until I tried Swamp-Root on the advice of a friend. It did not require more than four bottles to set my stomach right, and for the past two months I have been eating with a relish -anything S6t before me, something I had been unable to do previously for years. Am stronger than ever." 1009 Nostrand Ave., B'klyn. --'p&T -1 Jitfc": i. ?'i.:v .VS v::y.;.. i y wcA 4. Aa" Almost everyone, trom personal experience, knows that the effects of any kind of severe physical strain are felt, first of all, in the small of the back in other words, in those Vital Organs, the Kidneys. This is as true in the case of the very powerful man as it is with one of less strength, and it is especially true whenever the kidneys are weak. Weak and unhealthy kidneys are responsi ble for more sickness and suffering than any other disease, therefore, when through neglect or other causes, kidney trouble is per mitted to continue FATAL RESULTS ARE SURE TO FOLLOW. SWAMP-ROOT STRENGTHENS THE KIDNEYS and through them helps all the other organs. When this wonderful medical discovery can put the human body into condition to stand the hard work and the tremendous strain of the motormen, it is easy to understand how it has cured thousands upon thousaands in the more ordinary and less strenuous walks of life. No matter how many doctors you have tried no matter how much money you have spent on other medicines you really owe it to yourself and to your family to at least give SwampRoot a trial. Its strongest friends today are those who had almost given up hope of ever becoming well again.4 To Prove What Swamp-Root Will Do for YOU, a Sample Bottle Will Be Sent Free by Mail.

Commissioner Pepper spent a year in visiting various countries and was aid ed in his work by the United States ministers. His inquiries covered the general subject of trade opportunitits that would result from railroad build ing. The report says that the general project of an intercontinental line which ultimately will place New York and Buenes Ayres in communication is receiving much encouragement. At the present time about 4,800 miles are lack ing and the estimated cost of construc tion is nlacpd at 1150.000.000.

A striking example of the difference be tween European and American ways of doing things has been furnished by a fast run made by the Chicago and Alton load from Chicago to St. Iouis. If ever there was necessity for quick work an the other side of the Atlantic it might be supposed to exist now when Russia is trying t j got her troops to the scene of action P-ginst Japan. The distance from Moscow to V laciivostoK is o,S3) miles, ana trie Dest time Russia has been able to make in traversing the distance with bodies of its troops is 18 days. The special train on the Alton, already referred to, made the trip in six hours and twelve minutes, which included stops of seven minutes for train orders, six min utes in changing engines, night minutes for obtaining water and one minute ac count of being held by ads'erse- signals. Total time lost by necessary stops, twenty-two minutes, which, subracted from elapsed time, gives a net running time of nve nours ana nicy minutes lor ine a miles. If that record could be maintained across Siberia, and other long distance runs have proved it feasible, tae time for the 6,320 miles between Moscow and Vlad ivostok would be five days, against the Russian schedule of 18 flays for fast trains and a month for accommodation trains. It is safe to say that under war nressure the Chicaeo and Alton and many other standard American railways could maintain an uninterrupted six day sched ule (between Moscow and the Russian front.. -as .ssssl-- wamp Weak Kichrys Cured Swamp-Root.

VLL LEASED 'WISE REPORT CP THE ASSOCIATED TRESS. The State Journal is a member of the Associated Press and receives the full day telegraph report of that great news or ganization for exclusive afternoon publi cation in Toy:ka. The news is received In the State Jour nal uuiiding over wires for this sole pur pose, ijusv throughout the entire day. A eomolete copy of the night report is also received. According to the changed Russian view, Mr. Hay has ch-ne-ed from X to A in the international equation. There appears to be an impression broad that Hearst is an easy mark. But who can say that he is not getting the worth of his money? The ToDeka State Journal comes prancing to the front with the ma chine's doctrine that the opposition should now nominate a good man who can beat Tom Kelly. Is the ma chine going to bolt the ticket? Abilene Reflector. Does the Reflector refer to the Hoch or the Bailey machine? This paper not speaking for either, bUt possibly for both, might say from its observations: Everybody will "bolt" Kelly. Some will swallow him with wry faces; others, end wo hope they will be Sn the ma jority, will bolt him In :he other sense. The general business situation Is sound, according to the view of Henry Clews, and time should bring about a natural recovery. Improvement in the Iron trade is a satisfactory feature, and the declines in railroad earnings seem chiefly due to the severe winter. It must be admitted that some reaction has been experienced in business; but as spring approaches and transporta tion facilities improve there should be a revival of activities. Meanwhile, values may sag temporarily; but the movement in the long run is more like ly to be upwards than downwards when so many securities can be bought below Intrinsic values. The exports of domestic products from the United' States now exceed those of any other country of the world. They amounted to $1,392,231,000, against Jl.379,283,000 from the United Kingdom, $1,113,313,000 from Germany, $SZO,671,000 from France, and $732,975,000 from Netherlands. In imports the United States stands third, the world's largest importer being the United Kingdom, $2,571,416,000; Germany sec ond, $1,340,178,000; the United States third, $1,025,719,000; Netherlands fourth, $867,308,000, and France fifth, $848,046, 000. The above figures of imports and exports are. in the case of the United States, for the year ending June 30, 1903; the others, the calendar year 1902. THE MERGER DECISION. The decision of the U. S. supreme court in the merger case has been hand ed down and it sustains the conten tions of the government and the verdict of the lower court. j The decision as rendered has been generally anticipated at least to the extent that those affected by it were prepared. The result therefore may not prove so important in its effect on Suture combinations end acts of-con-gTess in pursuance of the principles laid down by the court. The court holds that the merger Is a trust and is therefore in violation of the Sherman law which legal enactment has declared to be sound. Justice Harlan says that in this day there should be no doubt of the com plete power of congress to control in terstate commerce; all appropriate means may be resorted to for that pur pose. He asserted the power of congress over interstate commerce to be as com plete as the power of a state over do mestic commerce. This language of the court appears to carry with it the right of the inter state commerce commission by author ity of congress to fix rates, which is of more importance to the public than anything else connected with the de cision. "In our judgment," said Justice Har lan, "the evidence fully sustains the material allegations of the bill and shows a violation of the act of congress in so far as it declares Illegal every combination or conspiracy in restraint of commerce among the several states and with foreign nations and forbids attempts to monopolize such commerce. Laying aside the many things of minor character and summarizing the principal fact3 it is indisputable upon the record that under the leadership of the defendants, Hill and Morgan, the stockholders of the Great Northern and Northern Pacific corporations, having competing and substantially parallel lines from the great lakes and the Mis sissippi river to the Pacific ocean at Puget Sound, combined and conceived the scheme of organizing a corporation under the laws of New Jersey which should hold the shares of stock of the constituent companies." Continuing, Justice Harlan said that "this commission is within the mean ing of the act, 'a trust" but if not it is a combination in restraint of interstate and international commerce and that Is enough to bring it under a condemna tion of the fact." He held that if such a combination were not destroyed "all the advantages that would naturally come to the public under the operation of the general laws of competition, as between the Great Northern and Northern Pacific railway companies will be lost,-and the entire commerce of the Immense territory In the northern part of the United States between the Great Lakes and the Pa cific at Puget Sound, will be at the mercy of a single holding corporation, organized lni a state distant from the territory." Discussing the contention of the de fendants that the enforcement of the act of congress would be an interfer ence by the national government with the internal commerce of the states, creating those corporations. Justice Harlan said: "This view does not impress us.There is no reason to suppose that congress had any purpose to interfere with the internal affairs of the states, nor is there any ground whatever for the con tention, that the anti-trust. act regulates their domestic commerce. By its very terms the act regulates only commerce among the states and in the foreign states. Viewed in that light the act must be respected. By the explicit words of the constitution that instru ment and "the laws enacted by congress in pursuance of its provisions, are the supreme law of the land 'anything in the constitution or laws of any state to the contrary notwithstanding supreme over the states, over the courts, and even over the people of the United States, the source of all power and our government system in respect of the objects for which the constitution was ordained. An act of congress constitu tionally passed under its power to regu late commerce among the states and with foreign nations, is binding upon all as much as If It were embodied in terms in the constitution itself." To sustain the contention of the de fendants that the anti-trust act, if held to embrace the merger case, is repug nant to the constitution of the United States, Justice Harlan said would be to overrule the prior decisions of the court as to the scope and validity of the anti trust act. If congress, he said, could strike down a combination between pri vate persons or private corporations that restrain trade among the states, "surely it ought not to be doubted that congress has power to declare illegal a combination that restrains commerce among the states, and with foreign na tions, as carried on over the lines of competing railroad companies in the exercise of public franchises and en gaged in such commerce."

From the Atchison Globe. How doctors are abused behind their backs! A slender woman should never ask a man with a large stomach to tie her shoe. When a woman stops crying: because her husband neglects her, and begins to curl her hair, is it a good or bad sign? If you. know a man who thinks he knows everything, take it out of him by getting him to read the war new? out loud. An Atchison man refuses to raise hi? hat to a woman more than twice a day. If he meets her a third tfme he pretends not to see her. Here is a new one: We heard it said of a certain man this morning that his mental shirt was too short to cover his intellectual nakedness. Occasionally a claim that one lives a Bohemian life has no other foundation than sitting down to breakfast without lirst putting one s clothes on. An Atchison man once recommended a doctor to a sick friend. The sick friend died, and his widow sued the Atchison man for damages. The Atchi son man is not recommending any doe tors now. Here is the work one Atchison woman got out of a dollar-a-day seamstress in five days: nine shirtwaists, two dresses, AN ELEGANT TOILET LUXURY Used by people of refinement for over a quarter of a century PREPARED BV Dr. Lyon's PERFECT Tooth Povdor two corset covers, and three night shirts. The truth about -the matter probably is that the mother praises the children too much, and the father too little. Dawson City has a hotel known as the Sour Dough. One of its rules is: "Guests with nightmare will find a halter on the bed post." 1 Arkansas, a state generally charged with not knowing much,' has decided not to appoint a hostess for her World's fair building. In this case, Arkansas is surely sensible. "He was dressed in a neat black suit, with white turn down collar, and small black tie." This does not describe the bridegroom, as you may imagine, but a man who was about to be hanged., POINTED PARAGRAPHS. fFrom the Chicago News. No girl's face is in it with a retouched photograph. Too much of the milk of human kind ness savors of the pump. You can't tell how well heeled a man is by the size of his shoes. Somehow a deaf man can always: hear an invitation to take a drink. In after years the girl with auburn tresses becomes a red haired wife. i The meaning of an epigram is concealed by the brilliant effect it produces. A girl's idea of an industrious young man is one who is too busy to propose. Never judge a man's reputation for truthfulness by what he says when in love. Three months after marriage a woman tries to swap her romantic novels for a cookbook. Divorces are so common now that they are no longer considered good theatrical advertisements. The widow's recovery from her grief sometimes depends upon the promptness of the life insurance company. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR From the New York Press. It is easier to marry money than to cash in after you have done it. "Women naturally hate clubs, because they know how many bachelors they make. If a girl can't have the man she wants the next best thing is for her to keep any one else from having him. A. woman will stand a great deal more squeezing than an orange, but a man quits doing it to both about the same time. It makes a man feel very virtuous to go home late expecting a scolding and find his wife has had to go to her sick mother's for the night. CONGRATULATIONS. Messages Reach the President From All Directions. Washington, March 15. Messages of congratulation from all parts of the country are being delivered to Presi dent Roosevelt by telegraph, by mail and in person on the supreme court's decision in the Northern Securities President Roosevelt personally con gratulated Attorney General Knox yes terday after the announcement of the decision, and at the cabinet meeting j today he renewed his congratulations to Mr. Knox. In his cordial expressions j he was Joined by the attorney general's fellow cabinet members. The attorney general, just before the I cabinet meeting, declined to Indicate j what action, it any, he might take in the future in following up the su preme court's decision. He would not say whether he had formed any plans looking to prosecutions or further actions under the Sherman anti-trust act or not. Thus far he has not had opportunity thoroughly to digest the decision of the court, and until he has considered it carefully he will not de termine, much less Indicate, what fu ture action he may take. The meet ing of the cabinet was comparatively brief, much of the time being spent in discussing the merger decision. ACTRESS COSTS DEAKLY. French footlight Favorite Is Getting Free Advertising in Court. Paris, March 15. Mme. Marguerite Gauthier, a popular actress ot the Port Saint Martin theater, has given the French courts some rare food for re flection. Although the actress is the defendant in the suit at law and in a position to be forced to pay some $8,000 if the de cree of the learned Judges is again3t her, she seems to be getting the worth j of it all in fun before the footlights. She has had all Paris holding its sides and roaring with laughter for a week at her droll flings in the direction ot the plaintiffs and one Baron Leonine who happens to figure conspicuously in the litigation. In a burst of generosity a year or two ago the baron cheerfully gave the ac tress a handsome house in Avenue Henry Martin. The gift is said to have cost the baron in the neighborhood of 150,000, but the mere cost of the pro perty was not to be considered since it was destined to be the gilded cage of such a rare bird of plumage as Mine. Gauthier at least, that is the viow taken by the baron in recounting his adventure to his friends. And, not to be outdone in generosity, the actress gallantly accepted the house and said she would be glad to end her days in it. With a big flourish the baron turned the keys over to Mme. Gauthier. The actress was practical enough to "look a gift horse in the mouth," and having done so she observed that the house was sorely in need of certain re pairs. "Quite true," assented the baron. "That should be attended to at once." Mme. Gauthier decided that the; house was uninhabitable and, taking the baron literally, she summoned carpenters, glaziers, plumbers, decorators and painters and had them go on with the repairs. In the end the house had been made over to the liking of the actress and the bill for the work footed up about ?8,000. "Take it to Baron Leonino," said Mme. Gauthier, when the bill for the Job was presented to her. "He has agreed to settle the whole thing," she added. "Ah," said the baron, as he gazed at the bill through his monocle, "take it to Mme. Gauthier; it is her house, not mine, and she will settle with you." The contractor went from one to the other daily for several weeks, but never seemed to get any nearer collection of the amount. Finally his lawyer began a suit against the actress. At the trial of the case she pointed to the baron and seid he had agreed to pay for the repairs on that eventful day when he garciously handed her the keys. The decision has been reserved.

Noftzger, state senator from the Thirty-seventh senatorial district, is in Topeka today on private business. .Sen ator Noftzger Is naturally pleased with his renomination by acclamation recent ly, and he believes he has a first class show for re-election, notwithstanding the fact that his district was too close for contort four years ago and there is so much political dissatisfaction over the state. Noftzger's district is composed of Barber, Clark, Comanche, Ford. Graj. Harper, Kiowa and Meade counties. In 1900 his opponent was Lot Ravenscraft of Clark county, who had represented that county in the legislature. Notfzger won in the district by Just 23 majority. "I think I will pull through all right again this time." he said today. "I understand Ravenscraft .won't run for senator again, but will run for repre sentative down in Clark county. I don't know who the Democrats will put up against me, but the Dodge City Sol diers' home will vote in my district hereafter, which will give me about 175 votes more, and I think I am consider ably stronger with my people than I was four years ago. "I will say this though: If Roosevelt wasn't on the ticket this year there would be danger that my district wouid go against the Republican state tickat on the railroad Issue. The railroads run things Just about -as they please down there," and the people don't like it. The people, too, believe the railroads domi nated the Wichita convention, and they don't like that either. Of course I don't know how things will be eight months from now, but if the election were held now and Roosevelt wasn't on the ticket there -would be a whole lot of Republicans who would go Democratic. My people don't like the way the rail roads treat them, and while I don't believe in anything radical or revolu tionary, the people can't be blamed for objecting to the way they are treated. The railroads charge what rates they please, furnish cars when they please, and confiscate all the coal they please. That is the reason I wanted some sort of a law passed against confiscation last winter. I thought if we couldn't get a measure that would make it criminal it was better to take what we would get if it would give us some re lief. "I don't know, -whether there will be much scratching or not, but I know the people in my part of the state don't like it because the railroads run things, and I think the same sentiment prs vails all through the western counties."

Members of the Plasterers' union re quest that their new schedule of prices be published in full. Their president, J. W. Bickle. and secretary, C. H. Good win, called at the State Journal office today and stated that the minimum charge of $10 for plastering cisterns, which was referred to in Tuesday's State Journal, was a mistake. The new schedule of prices is as follows: To furnish all material, for plain work, white coat on lath, brick and stone walls, pes yard 35 cents. Sand finish, extra per yard, 2 cents. When all material is furnished and the contractor laths and "plasters on lath and brick work, per yard 17 cents. On stone work, 22 cents. Cornice and ornamental work, all moulds 12 inches or less, per foot 50 cents. All mitres each one foot extra. For moulds, for every 2 inches over 12 inches to be 5 cents extra per foot.

City engineer McCabe has raised his estimates a quarter of a cent a foot over last year on the new sidewalk estimates which will be submitted to the city council Thursday night. Last year the estimate was 6'4, cents per foot on sidewalks over six feet wide, and 6 cents on sidewalks less than 6 feet wide. This year the figures are 64 and 7 cents. The specifications for the sidewalks will be the same as last year. "This increase in the estimate," said Mr. McCabe today, "is madeon account of the high price of labor and brick. Brick has been advanced 50 cents a thousand." AT THE PLAY LAST NIGHT. "The Pride of Jennico" at the Craw ford last night drew a small house. The production was also very bad though dollar prices -were charged. It is just such a show as is put onto Topeka at high prices and taken to low class houses at cheap prices in Kansas City.

Mallory En liven Things in Second. One of the most interesting contests in tomorrow's primaries is the contest for school board in the Second -ward. Rev. Frank Mallory, the present in cumbent, is opposed by C. E. Shaffer, who was brought into the race by the residents of thatward who believe that the present school board has been spending the people's money too free ly. Mr. Mallory claims that the fight made on him has been a personal mat ter, but the friends of Mr. Shaffer em phatically deny this and say that they had planned several months ago to bring out Mr. Shaffer. G. F. Stover, one of the leaders in the fight on Rev. F. E. Mallory, who has announced himself as a candidate for re-election to the school board from the Second ward, subject to the Re publican city primary, says that Mr. Mallory's opponents have brought no charges against him, and do not intend to An bo. "Personally, I have nothing against Mr. Mallory," said Mr. Stover. "I sup pose that he is as good as most men but that i3 no reason why he should be re-elected. What we want is a change. Mr. Mallory has represented the Second ward on the school board for several terms now and I think it no more than right that he step aside and give some other man a chance. That is about all there is to it." "Are the voters in the Second ward generally satisfied with the work of the present school board?" Mr. Stover was asked. "Some of them are, and some are not. I, for one, think that they have been spending too much money. Why, only last spring we voted over $100,000 in school bonds and I see by thepapers lately that $78,000 more are wanted. According, to my view of the matter that looks like they are trying to rub it in. Of course this may be the right thing but the taxpayers down in this ward don't think so and for this rea son we are going to see if we can't do something towards effecting a change." THE OTHER SIDE. Another Pamphlet in Sixth Ward Controversy. The other side of the Sixth ward sewer fight has been heard from. A re ply to S. A. Swendson's "Sewer Primer" has been issued by the Hughes faction. It is entitled "A Few Points.

TOPEKA STATE JOUENAI TUESDAY ETEKCfG.lMARCH ?I5, 1904 5 IIUNYON'S PAW-PAW CURES DRDWKE ESS! Intemperance, in my opinion, is the curse of the world. There Is not a li quor dealer but what will admit this. It is the cause of nearly all poverty, of most murders, and of much sickness. It hag filled more insane asylums, it has broken more hearts and wrecked more lives than all other causes com bined. "How can intemperance be cured?" is a question which should en gage the most serious attention of a.'l right-minded men. It has been dem onstrated that prohibition does not cor rect, does not prohibit. It has been clearly rroven that so long as a man has an appetite for liquor he will get it, either openly or by stealth. To do ttway with the liquor habit we must do sway with the appetite. Xow, I clai.n thac the appetite for liquor Is as much a disease of the stomach and nerves as consumption is a disease of the lungs. To correct me habit, r.e must correct the disease. A man with a health stcmach and normal nerves has no ap petite, no yearning-, no special desire for alcoholic stimulants. A man whose stomach is weak, whose liver is slug gish, w hose blood is thin, whose nerves are shattered, who is unabie to digest what food is put into the stomach has a craving for a stimulant or something to lift him out of the despondency which his ailments produce. I firmly believe that Paw-Paw will do more to correct intemperance thaa tons of tracts, thousands of temper ance lectures, or all the prohibitory laws that mankind can devise.

LJOl Oll BILL IS DENOUNCED New York Republicans Are Warned from Many Pulpits. New York, March 15. From more than a score of metropolitan pulpit3 protests were made Sunday against the proposed state legislation toward the pale of liquors to patrons of res taurants oa Sundays. The ministers denounced the Republican leaders who. it is understood, have decided upon the legislation, and declared the proposed law would have the effect of making every saloon a restaurant,-and there fore having every one of them legally open on Sunday. In Calvary Methodist church in Har lem and the Baptist temple in Brook lyn, numbering about 2,000 each, those present were asked to indicate their disapproval of the measure by a rising vote, and so far as could be seen every man and woman in those churches rosa. The sentiments of most of the min isters were similar to those of Rev. Dr. Robert S. McArthur. of Calvary Bap tist church, who said: "By favoring this bill the Republican party has an admirable opportunity practically to commit suicide in the state of New York. The passage of that bill would instantly alienate from the Republican party 50. Ow) God-fearing and Sabbath keeping churchmen, who long have been loyal Republicans." Cures Hia Ills by Fasting.

It will lift one into the high altitude of hope and hold them there. It will cure dyspepsia and every form of stomach trouble. It will cure nervousness, catarrh, sleepless ness and vitalize his whole system. Strength is what he needs, and if you give him a clean stomach, a good, nat ural appetite, and tone his system up generally, he will have strength. Paw Paw wfll do this for him, and do it quickly. The deadly drugs that are now being used to correct drunkenness are mor pernicious than drunkenness itself. They weaken the nerves, they dethrone reason, they take the manly part of a man away from him. Let us build up manhood, let us build up truth, let us be honest one to another. I call upon preachers and the workers of temper ance to test my Paw-Paw remedy. If they know of a person who is addicted to drunkenness and has not the phys cal or moral strength to resist, they should advise him to try Paw-Paw in stead of resorting to beer, whisky, wine or other harmful beverages.

It will give him exhilaration without in toxication. .Satisfy his craving and give him strength and courage to resist MUNYON. DIVORCE MADE EASY. Member of New York Assembly Moves to Amend the Law. New York, March 15. Bennett -R. Siegelstein.members of the assembly for me r.igntn district, will introduce in the legislature a bill amending the di vorce law so as to permit absolute di vorce for several reasons instead of the present one. offense, chief among which are "cruel and inhuman treatment"' and "such conduct on the part of the defendant toward, the plaintiff as may render it unsafe and improper for the former to live with the latter." Under existing law "cruel and inhu man treatment" is an offense for which only a limited divorce may be granted. Should "cruel and inhuman treatment" become a ground for absolute divorce it would, in the opinion of many law yers, pave the way for obtaining di vorces fer exceedingly trivial reasons. "Cruel and inhuman treatment" has been a very elastic term in the courts. It is not long ago that a man applied to the courts for a limited divorce, al leging "cruel and inhuman treatment" on the part of his wife in that she had cold feet. In another case, in which. the parties were socially prominent, the wife alleged that the husband was guilty of "cruel and inhuman treat ment" because he was in the habit of coming home late at night, opening a case of champagne, breaking the necks of the bottles and pouring the contents into the kitchen sink.

The environment will be such as to yield a beneficial influence and the contact with the life and knowledge at Topeka will no doubt be of aid in preparing them for the sterner struggles of life." Undoubtedly, un doubtedly. If there is anything that will prepare an individual for the "ster ner struggles" it is contact with Toye ka. But just a word, Mrs. Hoch.

Topeka saw Hackett in the play last year, and now a woman is the star. Many Tooka people are getting away from the "the ater habit." They do not like to pay twice as much as Kansas City houses charge, and then there is a feeling of unsafety on the Dart of those who at tend the Crawford. Mr. Crawford should either fix up the Grand, a safe theater, or get out of the manger and permit some one else to spend about a thousand dollars and make the Grand one of the safest and best opera houses in the country. Wichita Thugs Grow Bold. Wichita, Kan.. March 15. In addition to beating and robbing R. A. Sykes, a young man of this city, on Main street, high waymen attempted to kill their man by shooting him with their revolvers. Sykes was within two blocks of his home and Main street was partially filled with people when the holdup occurred. When ordered to throw up bis hands Svkes did not obey as quickly- as the highwaymen would have liked. They pounced onto their victim and beat him about the head with the butts of their revolvers. Sykes put up a good fight and succeeded in tearing the mask from the face of one of the men, but the two were too much for him. They took a gold watch belonging to Sykes bin over looked a roil of bills which he had in an inside pocket. After telling Sykes to turn about and run for hi3 life, the high waymen fired a volley of shots at him, GOVERNMENT BEATEN. British Ministry .Had a Close Call for Its Life. London, March 15. The government was defeated in the house of commons today by 141 to 130 votes, on a motion of John Redmond, the Irish leader, for a reduction of. the Irish education es timates. As it was in the nature of a snap division engineered by the Na tionalists, the government refused to resign, but it is regarded as another straw shewing the direction o the wind. Mr. Redmond's motion was made with the object of calling attention to Irish grievances. The division was ta ken almost immediately after the com mencement of the discussion, when the Liberals and Nationalists were in strong force. The result was greeted with great cheering, especially from the Irish benches. The opposition immediately moved to report progress. Premier Balfour op posed the motion. He admitted, amidst much laughter, that it was obvious the government had been defeated on a proposal to reduce a vote by $300, but there was a considerable amount of financial business to be transacted be fore March 31, and he did not see why any time shold be wasted. Mr. Balfour added that the honorable member had succeeded in reducing the vote for Irish education by $500 and the government accepted the opinion of the house on the subject. Mr. Redmond retorted: "We have defeated the government." It was then that Mr. Redmond moved to report progress. This was defeated by 171 to 14S votes, the gov ernment majority being 25. The gov ernment in the interim had succeeded in mustering enough ministerialists to save the situation, as in the event of a second adverse vote the ministers would have been botmd to resign. RIGHTS OF CANAL CO. They Are Being Investigated by American Officials in Paris. Paris, March 15. The officials of the American embassy are considering all the possible points of French law to insure the protection of the United States when the payment of $40,000,000 for the Panama Canal company's prop erty is made. One of the points consid ered is whether it is desirable to have the courts appoint a liquidator to re ceive the money instead of paying it directly to the officers of the old com pany. Some legal authorities assert that this would be the best means of protecting the United States against any subsequent claim on the part of stockholders of the old company, that the officers of the new company were not authorized to receive payment United States Ambassador Porter is satisfied that no such claims would be valid and that a liquidator is not nec essary. Another question is whether the sale of all the property of the com pany comes within the charter rights granted to the company. Inquiries made lead to the conclusion that the company has ample rights to sell. Official denial is given of the .report printed here this morning that exchanges of views are now going on between Paris. London and Washington relative to offering mediation in the "far eastern war. The -foreigrtoffTce,, here is not aware of suoh an exchange and it is re ported that mediation is impracticable as neither party would consider it. LAST ONE GONE. Only Kercaining Survivor of Eala- klava Is Bead. New London, Conn., March 15. Wil liam E. Miller, who claims to be the sole survivor in this country of the light brigade which made he famous charge at Balaklava. in 1834, is dead at his resi dence in Groton.

Dolley can be elected chairman of the Repub lican stat committee is for EL W. Hoch and W. R. Stubbs to demand it of thfi state committee. The Burton partisans, who are for J. R. Burrow for chairman, have most of the state candidates lined up for Burrow, and they have even got a statement from Mr. Hoch that he does not want to "boss things," but only wants his vote to count the same as any other nomi nee. The state committee elects its offi cers, but it has always deferred to the wishes of the nominees, particularly the nominee for governor. If Mr. Hoch should insist upon the selection of Dolley as chairman, and Mr. Stubbs should iota with -Jiimv they might per suade the state- committee to elect Dolley, even it the -.majority of the nominees should, be against him. At the time that the bosses of the new machine decided that Stubbs should be both temporary and Der manent chairman of the state conven tion, shutting out H. E. Ric-hter. who had been decided upon as temoorary chairman, the State Journal published the statement that this was simply to pave the way" for the election of Mr. Burrow as state chairman, on the ground that Mr. Stubbs had been "honored" greatly at Wichita, and he should not therefore try to dictate who should be state chairman. That is the very argument the Burton people are now putting forth to Hoch. The organ of the Burton faction this morning says "Burrow has eight of the fourteen nominees on the state ticket, and his friends are doing their best to show Mr. Hoch that he would make a ten strike by falling in with the majority. They urge him to 'be fair.' They say that they allowed H. E. Richter, sug gested for temporary chairman of the Wichita convention, to be sacrificed in order that Mr. Hoch's good friend, W. R. Stubbs, might have the nonor. inow, they sav, Mr. Hoch should go with their side and make Burrow chair man." State Supterintendent Dayhoff is listed as being for Dolley for chairman, but Mr. Dayhoff told Harry Bone a day or two ago that Dolley will not be elected chairman. The Emporia Gazette publishes the following: T-Ka AHiii3T.o "Rpflector calls attention ,,i-cj- tn the fart that In the recent state convention no praise was given to Joseph L. Bristow. This is true.

Why are the lawmakers so aggrieved at having their actions made known to the public and to their constituents? If it is to this publicity that they ob ject, how is their objection to be re garded save as a confession that they know the actions disclosed by the re port to be of an objectionable charac ter? Of course it annoys them to have it shown that they asked the scaly Beavers for favors which that person readily granted in order to tickle them into thinking him a "good fellow." Many of them doubtless can claim justly that Beavers was the only one to blame, since he should not have granted requests which did not relate to actual needs of the postal service. It is a strain upon one's credulity to be asked to believe that the administra tion regards the publication of the re port as a "blunder" and intends to im pose summary vengeance upon Mr. Bristow. This insinuation must ema nate from sources close to the aggrieved congressmen and must be designed for their especial solace and protection. Mr. Bristow merely did his duty ana tne re sult of his work has been a revelation which is likely for some time to place a wholesome restraint upon the congress men's trade in postofflce privileges. The fact that so many of the congressmen regard the exposure of their practices in this line with Euch keen anguish is sim ply suggestive of the need for some such corrective influence. The one redeeming feature of the situ ation is the fact that on reflection some congressmen have had the good judg ment to abandon their fierce vitupera tion and adopt the rational measure of calling for a full investigation. If they have occasion for seeking "vindica tions" that is the way to get them. Hutchinson News: Of course it is all over but we cannot help calling the at tention of the people of Reno county to the fact that the same gentlemen who raised the assessment of farm and per sonal property in Reno county 38 per cent and lowered the assessment of rail road property, were the men who knifed J.

The time of court Monday was taken up with the rebuttal on the part of the state and the evidenc e was nearly completed w hen Juror LeCount was stricken with an acute attack of sickness. Court was adjourned until Wednesday. Monday was a great day for the state in the Dewey murder case.TheGibraltar which had been reared for the defense by their witness, O. A. Kerns, which they thought invulnerable and behind which they were resting in supposed security, has been bombarded with eome effect by the state. In behalf of the defendants O. A. Kerns had testified that, the shells found in the revolver of Burchard Horry possessed stains which evidenced that the revolver had been reloaded immediately after it had been fired. For the purpose of exploding this the ory. C. F. Butler, a farmer of Thomas county, who claimed to have experi mental knowledge in the use of a gun, was placed on the stand in the morn ing. He testified that he had placed clean shells in a clean gun about two weeks ago and that he put it in his inside vest pocket when he carried it in the daytime, and at nighttime kept it on the sill of an open window in his bed room. He said by this treatment the ehells were given the same stains and conditions which were found upon the Fhells taken from the gun on Burchard Berry. A very earnest, and at times acrid discussion was indulged in be tween Senator Hessin and General Colby over objections made by the for mer as to the reliabirity of the evidence introducing the experiments and ob servations made with the gun shells. The state will forcibly claim in the light of this evidence that the condi tions of the Burch Berry shells were r-i'odueed by the moisture the time of the shooting at Sheriff Burnham and his posse from Roy Berry's timber. Roy and Beach Berry denied that they, with Burchard Berry, waylaid Al Winship, William Day and Tom Lebo on June 2, 1903, the day of the sale of the tank and windmill, and invited them to get off their horses, saying they would thrash the stuffln' out of them. These witnesses said they had stopped to wait till Burchard inhaled some medicine for his asthma, when Winship and his companions came along and that they simply asked them to come back for the tank the next dav. Several witnesses for the state swore that a number of buckskin and brown penies were amoitg the horses on the Dewey ranch, indicating the intention of the state to advance the theory that some of the Deweys rode over to the timber on the day that Sheriff Burnham was at Alpheus' to replevin horses, and fired their guns to manufacture a case against the Berrvs. In fact, every piece of evidence given by the defense derogatory to any of tne Berrvs was branded as false by Beach and Roy Berry. They said they had never swore at any of the Deweys nor called them any vile names nor pointed a gun at any of them. Roy said he had never seen Daniel Berry with a gun in his hands in his life. At the adjournment of court Monday evening the state said it had only two more witnesses, and their evidence was very short. The defense announced that they had some surrebuttal evi dence that would take half a day. UNCLE SAM'SHAND. He Shows It in Kansas-Colorado Litigation. Washington. March 15. In the United States supreme court Solicitor General Hoyt moved for leave to file a petition to intervene in the case of state of Kan gathered sas against tne state or Colorado and a from lying on his body out doors until number of irrigation companies of the midnight. Butler also testified that the battered call taken from the person of Daniel Berry was from a Savage rifle, and fur ther said in support of this statement that a Winchester 30-30 ball weighs lfiO ffrains and a Savage ball weighs ISO grains, and that the butt end of a Sav age ball is square while the butt end of a. Winchester ball is round. He said that a Savage ball has corrugations on it. but a Winchester ball is smooth. He also said that this battered ball weighed ISO grains and otherwise bore nil the evidence of being a Savage rifle ball. This ball, together with undis charged Savage and Winchester balls, was placed in evidence and given to the jury tor inspection. O. A. Karns had testified that the battered ball, taken from Daniel Berry's body, was a Win Chester 30-30 ball, and gave what seem ed to be very lucid reasons for knowing it to be a Winchester ball. The object of this testimony was to establish that Chauneey Dewey could not have killed Daniel Berry, as by all the evidence he was the only man who had a Savage gun. Butler said he helped turn over the dead horse found at Alpheus Berry's the night of the inquest when he found un der it two discharged Winchester shells. They bore the same stains as those found on Burchard Berry's sheJJs. H. L. Moon of Rawlins county said he was at the sale at Eugene Sclater's, in November, and that Beach Berry was not there. He said he was with Roy there all day, and did not hear any of thoBerrys say, "What they wanted were shells to shoot Dewey ducks with." as testified to by Newton Hall. The latter had testified that he saw Alpheus Berry firing weapons and said he knew it was Alpheus because he had the asthma. It was established by three witnesses that Burchard Berry was the one who was thus afflicted. The state also produced four or five witnesses who testified that Roy, Beach and Alpheus Berry were about twelve miles from Alpheus Berry's at latter state to restrain them from tak ing water out or the Arkansas river which rises in Colorado and flows through Kansas. He said that the gov ernment takes exception to the conten tion of each of the states and desires to intervene because of the possible ef feet of the decision on the operation of the reclamation act. Attorney Rogers of Denver moved to dismiss the case so far as it applies to individual corporations. The attorneys cji both sides of the Kansas-Colorado litigation have been notified that the federal government proposes to take a hand in the matter. It opposes some of the contentions of both states, fearful lest a decision for either state would interfere with the government's control of irrigation mat ters. Two Ssek Divorce. C. T.

COBB, of Wellington, Candidate for Democratic Nomination for Superintendent of Insurance. and came to Kansas a number of years ago from Kentucky. He has never been a candidate for office before, but has taken an active part in local Dem ocratic politics, and it is Baid that the Democrats of Sumner county will line up behind his candidacy. The man most talked of for the Democratic nomination for state super intendent of public instruction is A. B. Carney, superintendent of the Con cordia schools. Carney is a native of Mitchell county, graduated from the Beloit high school, then "from the State Normal school, and for a number of years has been recognized as one of the foremost educators of the state. He has held his present position for several years and i3 very popular in north central Kansas and among the educators of the state. He is also one of the Democratic members of the state text-book commission. The Populists of Miami county are after the scalp of John H. Curran, sec retary of the state committee. In the campaign two years ago Curran, along with a number, of Democrats, advised that the Democratic Opposition have nothing to do with the fight against T. T. Kelly, giving as their reasons that the Democrats would only make sympathy for Kelly by opposing him. A large portion of Kelly's support in Miami county came from Democrats, but the Populists were solid against him. They knew all about his bad. record, and it was incomprehensible to them that their state central com mittee should keep still about it. The Miami county Populist committee held a meeting Saturday and passed the following resolutions: Whereas, The secretary of the Pop ulist state central committee declared during the last campaign to this com mittee that the said state committee deemed it inadvisable to make a fight on the (in) famous Thomas T. Kelly, "Resolved, That we demand the retire ment of John H. Curran from the state contral committee, and declare that we owe no allegiance to any committee or party that retains such a man in a po sition of honor and trust. "Resolved, That it is the sense of this committee that this is the year and Miami county is the place to make a straight-out, old-fashioned Populist fight without regard to the wishes of any other nation on earth." N. W. WELLS, Chairman. O. W. KINGSBURY, Secretary. The Socialists will hold a convention at Wichita on March 31 and nominate a state ticket, according to Prof. Thos. K. Will, formerly president of the Kan sas State Agricultural college, but now at the head of a Socialist school at Wichita. After it was too late to do It, Ewlns Herbert proposed at the recent state convention that the state committee men be selected by senatorial districts instead of Judicial districts. This would increase the state committee from 33 to 40 members. Herbert's scheme was to get the scalps of Cyrus Leland and Morton Albaugh as state committee men. Their judicial districts are behind them, but if the committeemen could have been selected by senatorial dis tricts they could have been defeated Leland's Judicial district is composed of Doniphan, Nemaha and Brown coun ties, and Doniphan and Nemaha out vote Brown.

This company has had no quarrels with its representatives or cus tomers, as they are satisfied with the treatment received at the hands of the company and strongly resent all impli cations that they are engaged in a fraudulent or Illegitimate business. The publishers who have been imposed upon should lose no time in setting their readers right in the matter, as they no doubt will do when they discover on which side the fraud has been practiced. That the Wm.

The offices and factory were visited by these newspaper men and every fa cility in regard to the manufacture and the plan of conducting the business was laid before these visitors, that they might obtain a full knowledge of every detail of the same. No attempt was made to conceal anything regarding the company's method of doing busi ness. Bankers, merchants and profes sional men were interviewed to ascer tain the standing of the company, and the individual officers of the same, with a highly satisfactory result.

There were also a number of representatives of the com pany in the city who had invested and they, without a single exception, stated that they, were making money and would not consider a proposition to take their money back and quit the business. There is nothing to be found in Bloom ingtoix against the Wm. R.

In stead of getting to see the people as has been the custom heretofore, now the people corne to see the company and in vestigate their wonderful business. The merits of the product of their factory and their new method of doing business is what commends it to all who investi gate. To pass judgment upon this com pany or its method of doing business without first accepting their proposition to go to Boolmington and make a personal investigation, is passing judgment with out hearing the evidence. The United States postal authorities permit no endless chain business to make use of the mails, which is absolutely proof that the company is not conducting an illegitimate business. LEFT HALF A MILLION. Delmonlco Orchestra Leader Gets a Big Legacy. New York, March 15. No more will the strains of Giacomo Imperatori's Guarnerius violin be heard in the or chestra balcony at Delmonico's. A legacy of half a million dollars has lured him back to Italy. He sailed on the New York, and will be followed soon by his wife and three small chil dren, who are still in New York. For two years Imperatori has led the or chestra at Delmonico's, and among the thousands who have admired his music only a few of his closest friends knew his true history, tie aia not care w have it known, for he chifed under the dreary task of earning his living as a musician, but was too proud to com plain. He is the third son of Count Imperatori, and th- $500,000 legacy comes to him from his uncle, a banker in Rome, who died three months ago. leaving a large estate. Imperatori's father owned an estate near Lake Maggiore, and was mod erately wealthy. When a boy Giacomo was sent to Rome to study sculpture, but his tastes inclined to music and he devoted his attention to it. In 18M7, his father died and his fortune was swept away. For a time Imperatori played in Rome and other Italian cities, and then came to New York, where he read ily obtained places in some of the best theaters. Two years ago he became the leader of the orchestra at Delmon ico's. Shortly after arriving in New York Imperatori met a Miss Taylor, to whom he became engaged, and they were married six months after their first meeting. HAS WIRELESS DEVICE.

It looks as though another attempt is to be made to secure a pardon for Willie Sell, the boy murderer of Neosho coun ty, who is in the penitentiary under sen tence of death for killing several mem bers of his family a few years ago. The following notice appears in the Ottawa Republic: "All persons desirous of contributing to the fund being raised to defray the expense of printing a review of the Wil lie' Sell case may hand their donations to Mrs. O. W. Goodin." State Auditor Wells and his assistant, J. M. Nation, say the sentiment against Willie Sell in Neosho county is very strong, and he will not get a pardon while the present generation in that county remains except over a strong protest. A movement was started some time ago to ask Governor Bailey for a pardon for Sell, but nothng ever came of it after the applications in the Dobbs- New and Asbell cases were turned down.

8 TOPEKA STATE JOTJRNAI TUESDAY EVENING. MARCH 15, 1904, PUT UP A JOB. Hon' the Irish Leaders Sur prised the Balfour Crowd. London, March 15. The defeat of the government today was the result of a successful coup planned by Mr. Red mond and the senior whip of the Irish parliamentary party. Sir Thomas Es monde yesterday afternoon. Seeing a short list of questions for today and knowing that the majority of the house expected the Irish members to occupy all" the afternoon in discussing Irish education. Mr. Redmond and Sir Thomas decided to force a division al most immediately after questions time, when the greater number of the gov ernment supporters would still be quiet ly lunching at their clubs. The man euvers succeeded to perfection. Mr.. Redmond rose holding a large heet of notes in his hands as If intend ing to make a lengthy speech, but to the astonishment of all except those in the secret, the Irish leader spoke only a few words and then sat down, while his party demanded the division for which Buch careful plans had been laid. A cene of indescribable excitement oc curred when Sir Thomas Esmonde and lAnthony J. Donelan, the two tellers, went to the right of the speaker's chair, thus showing that for the first time In many years the unionst government had keen beaten. When the clerk of the house handed the division paper to Sir Thomas Es monde there was a perfect hurricane of cheers from the opposition, lasting sev eral minutes. William Redmond In his exuberance natched a hat from the head of a col league and waved it wildly. An Easy Test To ascertain exactly what your sickness COMES FROM. One day you suspect it's "from something I've eaten." Next day perhaps "it's the change in the weather." Next day it's "I have overworked a bit." Again it's "because I can't sleep." You occasionally have a suspicion that coffee causes the troubles and aometimes really believe you should stop coffee and see if it really does what tome people claim. But, the breakfast comes on and the coffee is there, and "it's so hard to give it up." "If I really thought toffee was hurting me I would quit it, because I value health above everything, but as long as there's a doubt I keep on using coffee and yet staring me in the face is the fact that I have Taken medicines of many kinds. Changed food. Tried exercise. Changed climate. "Tried various other methods to get well and yet" "H ere "Ailing right along and getting slowly "Something must be done for there Is olng." "Coffee?59 "Oh rats about the coffee, it don't hurt me, why I've drank it for 20 years." "Experiment to learn the exact truth about it?" "Why of course I would really like to know definitely and surely all about It for I want to find the demon that keeps me ill, prevents my enjoyment of health and strength and keeps me from success in business, because I am balf sick all the time." "How's that? Quit coffee 10 days-?"' "'Pretty hard to do neighbor." ""Easy when Postum is served in its place, why?" Postum coffee when properly brewtd (and that's easy) has the deep seal tirown of fine old gov't Java whicn changes to a rich golden brown when cream is added. It does not possass the strong acrid taste of Rio Coffee but has the mild, fine crisp flavor of the higher grades of Java and a fragrance all its own. With many cultivated people it ranks in flavor above ordinary coffee. So, it's easy to shift from ordinary coffee to Postum and make the 10 Aur test to see if you can locate the thing that is eating away your life. No Possible Argument Will Stand against the fact that Coffee does Ruin Thousands of People. If as a result of this test you find, in 2 or 3 days, peaceful sleep returns, ppetite comes keen again, stomach no longer feels sick and abused. Breath sweet once more and tongue clean. The yellow skin takes on pink and white. Bowels become natural and you can walk forth with the old time spring f conscious strength and health. Then and only then will you certainly knew that coffee has, all along been your hidden enemy, and how much you have thrown away in peace, money, com fort, accomplishment and position during the past years and all for the miserable pittance of a morning cup cf coffee. Poor oid weak humanity, what chattering, doddering fools we are to ex Change the brilliant and wonderful birthright for such a mess of pottage. The members rushed In and a terrible din prevailed. Ultimately sufficient quiet was re stored to enable the figures of the vote to be called out. Mr. Balfour, who was in the distin guished strangers gallery at the time, appeared momentarily astounded at the jubilant uproar. The cheering of the opposition was resumed when Mr. Bal four entered the chamber and he was greeted with derisive cheers and cries of "resign" and "another message for Joe." The premier, who had by this time regained his accustomed com posure, philosophically surveyed the ex cited house. The long sustained jubilation did not tend to the advantage of his opposition. The government whips had time to collect their disordered forces from all parts of the house and various haunts in London. Driving and running fur iously came the sedate supporters of the present government. John Gordon MacNeill, Nationalist, who designated the defeat "an end to the farce," unintentionally gave the government further advantage by a too lengthy speech, and when another di vision was taken on the motion to re port progress, Mr. Balfour had 25 votes to the good. John Redmond said to a representa tive of the Associated Press subse quent to the division: "To sum up briefly the cause of the division it may be said that the gov ernment recently introduced a rule for bidding teaching Irish in four of the first classes of the Irish National school. This caused widespread indig nation to voice which I moved for a re duction of the vote. 'Mr. Wyndham, chief secretary for Ireland, gave no satisfactory explana tion and we defeated the government. As a result of the defeat the objection- I Am a little worse each month." but one end to the road I am now able rule undoubtedly will be with drawn. "While the general position of the government has not been weakened my impression is that a dissolution will follow another such blow. Naturally we are elated. Yesterday evening when the Nationalists voted with the govern ment on Catholic education in England, Mr. Balfour had a majority of 120. To day with the Irish against him he had a minority of 11. The moral is that the time is at hand when Ireland will hold the balance of power." JlllS. Y1CK GETS DIYORCE. Husband Failed to Provide" and Was Cruel.

Last March I bought a dollar package at the drug store, which cured me of bleeding piles, and I was a sufferer from them for eight years; but I had not been troubled with them since, un til last September, when I gave birth to a baby girl, and after that I had r. very severe case of protruding piles, which a trained nurse said was the worst casa she ever saw, and my d-.t;-tor told me to get Pyramid Pile Cure again, which 1 did and was completely cured in three days. I have not hai piles of any kind since, and it is all owing to the wonderful remedy. My nurse took a box, which I was glad to be able to give her, for I know she will be able to help lots of suffering people whom I could never see or know. "I recommend 'Pyramids' wherever I know of any one suffering as X did. It gives me great pleasure to be able to say I am entirely cured, wnicn my doc tor says is true. I say God Bless Pyra mid Pile Cure." From a former great sufferer, Mrs. F. S. Ancott, 1206 Unity St., Frar.kford. -Philadelphia, Pa.

Its value is evidenced by the testimony given above, ana we urge all sufferers to buy a package now and give it f3L trial tonight.

tl TOPEKA STATE JOTJRNAI4 TUESDAY EVENING. iRCH 1 5, 1904. 'V 3-i- i A r MAIDENHOOD. The Young Girl's Life Like a Flowing Brook. ITS COURSE OBSTRUCTED BY MANY OBSTACLES. Some Timely Suggestions Regarding a Serious Subject. "Brooks make rivers, rivers run to eas," sings the poet Dryden in his Worship of Aesculapius, the first known physician. The poet little thought as he penned his verse in praise of the ancient practitioner, how aptly his beautiful line would apply to the life of a woman. The chattering brook as it flows to merge itself in the larger scream represents the careless, unthinking young girl. The wild and turbulent stream, sometimes flowing smoothly, then dashing over rocks and down into unbroken depths, at last be coming a mighty river, bearing ships upon its bosom, is the woman with her broadening and deepening possibilities. But how many girls "Standing with reluctant feet Where the brook and river meet. Womanhood and childhood fleet," are at this time of their lives the ob jects of great solicitude to their par ents. The young girl is sad, does not like company, has palpitation of the heart after slight exertion, dyspepsia, constipation, pains in the head and limbs and along the spine, and her face is pale with a greenish tinge. She is the victim of green sickness. This is a ease in which the nervous system is impaired and the blood is impover ished. A good tonic is needed to bring her back to health and strength, and parents should be careful to choose the best remedy. Here is what Mrs. Jose phine Townsend, 19 Clark Place, Jersey City, N. J., says: v- c- t-ttl "It Is with pleasure that I write this testimonial in behalf of my daughter, Lillian, who was very sick. Our doctors said her blood had turned to sugar at tne critical time of womanhood. She could not walk or stand, but had to lie In bed almost all day for five long months. Our doctor did all he could for her. but she got worse all along. 1 was anxious about her: in fact, all our family were almost crazy to think she would die so young. "I hud hard and read so much of Dr. Greene's Mervura blood and nerve remedy that I went and got a bottle. On the second day I saw an improve ment in her condition. I was overjoyed and ki-tit on and got another bottle, and whn the second bottle was used she apparently came back to life. "I can't express my heartfelt thanks for I am sure that Dr. Greene's Ner vura saved her life. This was some three years ago and now she is well and strong. I say God bless Dr. Greene and his wonderful medicine, and I will praise it to all the world all the rest of my life for saving my daughter's life lo me." It is' wonderful what benefit this young girl derived in so short a time from Dr. Greene's Nervura. the great blood and nerve remedy. If you have a daughter who is suffering in such a manner, can you doubt that this grand medicine is Just what she needs? Tou can make no mistake in giving her this great blood and nerve remedy, for it is the discovery of a noted and experi enced iihysician, Dr. Greene, of 101 Filth avenue. New York city. He not only positively promises a good effect from the medicine, but allows all who wish to to consult him free of charge, either personally or by letter, so that in using his remedy you make him your iihysician and receive the benefit ol his great skill free.

Under thenew system adopted by the county commissioners for the supplying of county printing all the printers in the county are having a chance at the county work. County Clerk Newman, who has charge of the distribution of the county printing, recently gave an order to U. G. Stewart, editor of the Shawnee County News, published at Rossville, and today Stewart delivered to the probate judge a new lot of affidavit blanks. This is the first time that any print shops out side of Topeka have done any county printing. ALLISON IS FINED. OBicer Who Clubbed V. G. Fair chUd Pays $30. Policeman W. F. Allison was found guilty In the city court this morning of assaulting W. G. Fairchild. Judge McCabe fined Allison $5 and the costs in the case which amounted to $26. Allison paid the total of $3L The testimony in the case brought out by the prosecution was that AHi son directed Fairchild to drive Ki3 horse and buggy on the right hand side of Kansas avenue. Fairchild did not immediately turn to the right side. Fairchild and Allison exchanged some words and when Fairchild drove to the right hand side of the street Allison followed him, climbed into the buggy and attempted to seize the reins. Fair child held them from him. Allison struck at Fairchild's hands and Fair child was forced to let the reins drop. Then the horse started and Allison fil out of the buggy. Fairchild stopped the horse and Allison climbed on the back of the buggy and struck Fairchild with his club, about the head and shoulders. Fairchild jumped from the buggy and ran to the sidewalk to es cape. Policeman Ross stopped Fair- child and then stopped Allison and pre vented him from clubbing Fairchild. Fairchild was taken to the police sta tion and was booked under the charge of resisting an officer. Allison's story of the affair was that Fairchild swore at him and Informed him that he didn't have sense enough to be a policeman. Allison testified that Fairchild struggled with him in the buggy and that Fairchild struck him- over his right eye and knocked him from the buggy. Allison said that a man who worked in a pool room near Fourth street would testify to the same points. He didn t know the man s name and did not know where he could be found. All the witnesses for the stace testified that Fairchild did not strike Allison. This places Allison In a bad light. After the disgraceful clubbing incident he was suspended from the police force. Fairchild was tound not guilty of the charge against him In police court and now Allison has been found guilty in the city court. BASEBALL RESOLUTIONS. Official Board of First M. E, Church Endorse Project. Dr. J. D. McFarland and the official board of the First Methodist church has given approval to the proposed league baseball team In the following communication: "The question of Sunday baseball came before the official board of the First Methodist church last night. At both the mcrning and evening services on Sunday the congregations by unan imous standing vote joined in the pro test against the proposal to have Sun day games. But the developments of Monday placed the matter In a better light, and in consequence tne otnciai board took the following action: 'Resolved, That we learn with much gratification that the proposition to in stitute Sunday baseball games in con nection with our city has been definite ly abandoned by the managers of the baseball association, and that we trust that a proposition so distasteful to the Christian sentiment of this community will never be revived again. 'Resolved. That we regard the game of baseball when conducted under proper conditions and safeguards against evil association, to be a leglti mate and wholesome sport and amuse ment, worthy of the sympathy and patronage of the best people; but that it should not be thus countenanced and supported unless its managers have proper respect for the moral sentiments of a Christian community. 0NL1 $1,300 LEFT UNPAID. Sheriff Lucas Checks Up Personal Property Tax. Sheriff Lucas has collected $2,745 of unpaid personal property tax and about $1,300 remains uncollected. Sheriff Lucas announced this morning that he would issue alias warrants for the persons owing personal property tax and that the goods owned by them would be levied on. Many sheriffs be fore Lucas have made this threat but none of them have ever attached any property. Lucas says he is not "bluf fing" and that he will collect the taxes due. Police Notss. More arrests were made last night on the hop tea ordinance. Geo. Klauer and F. O. Gill were arrested on the hop tea excuse alone, and E. C. Russum, proprietor of the joint over Lawless' livery barn on Quincy street was ar rested on two counts, keeping a hop tea nuisance and keeping and maintain ing a nuisance, the latter on view be cause a little whisky was found in the place. Last night the police arrested one W'illiam Carr, as a vagrant, and are holding him on suspicion of being a man wanted In South Carolina for murder. He answers the description perfectly, with the trifling exception yiat he is six inches shorter than the advertised man from the south. The police evidently think that the change of climate may have caused the man to shrink. Tragedy Averted. "Just in the nick of time our little boy was saved," writes Mrs. W. Watkins of Pleasant City, O. "Pneumonia had played sad havoc with him and a terrible cough set in besides. Doctors treated him, but he grew worse every day. At length we tried Dr. King's New Discovery for Con sumption, and our darling was saved. He's now sound and well." Everybody ought to know, it's the only cure for coughs, colds and all lung diseases.

Downing of Sumner county. Superintendent of information bureau, M. R. Clendennlng of Marshal county. The positions each pay $50 a month and last during the fair.

From the New York Herald. 1 "The wide prevalence of coughs, colds, grin and pneumonia marks an xperienee of severe and protracted winter weather the like of which we have not seen for many a year. The stubborn persistence of catarrhal troubles is also a marked feature of the depressing influences -which follow a long siege of rapidly changing low and raw temperatures. The man is for tunate indeed who has not been at some time since Christmas confined to his bd with a 'cold' of some sort that ,he cannot succeed in curing. This con dition of affairs has existed for months, and the end is not yet. In fact, it be hooves all careful people to be on their guard against all catarrhal troubles more than ever. March is a typical pneumonia month, and gives a high rate of mortality for the disease. One reason for this is that after our long and hard winters the system loses its natural resistance to cold. Only the hardy ones are likely to withstand the strain, and even these are by no means safe when grip is in creasing almost to epidemic manifes tation. The ordinary 'cold,' the grip and pneumonia belong to the same family of winter diseases. Although they may be excited by different in fectious influences, their ultimate effects are the same when the attacks are sufficiently severe. An acute catarrh is always the re sult of undue exposure to low tempera tures. The rapid cooling of the sur face, when not balanced by proper re action, produces congestion and in flammation of the nasal and bronchial membranes. Obviously such an ailment Is not communicable, in the ordinary eense, from one individual to another. As the slightest 'cold' predisposes the individual to attacks of the most se-i vere and dangerous catarrhal affec tions, the necessity for its quick cure need not be enforced." All these facts emphasize the neces sity of extraordinary precautionary measures against the ordinary cold. Every one can not change his climate at will but may make the most of what he has at home, viz.," take Chamber lain's Cough Remedy as soon as the first indication of the cold appears. It pot only cures a cold quickly but counteracts any tendency of the cold to result in pneumonia. This fact has been fully proven during the epidemics of colds and grin, of the past few years. No case of either of these dis eases having resulted in pneumonia when this remedy was used has ever been reported to the manufacturers, which shows conclusively that it is not only the best and Quickest euro for colds, but a certain preventive of that dangerous disease.
