TOPEKA STATE JOTJIiNAI SATURDAY EVENING. APKIL 16, 1904. 'ORTHIG NEWS. "Irish Lad" Has a Big Task Before 11 1 in This Year. Will Be Slated In All tbe Big Spring Handicaps. CONSIDERED A WONDER Hanj Think Him the Greatest Handicap Horse on Earth. To Enter Metropolitan, Brook lyn, Suburban and Brighton. New York, April 16 To make a clean sweep of the great spilng handicaps is the programme mapped out for Irish Lad by Hermann B. Duryea, in whose colors during- the temporary retirement of Harry Payne Whitney from the turf, the Westbury stable, as well as the thoroughbreds of the late William C. Whitney, will race. That the stout hearted son of Candlemas and Arrow grass will realize in full the hopes of his owners seems hardly to be expect ed, but. barring- accident, he will face the flag in the Metropolitan, Brooklyn, Suburban and Brighton handicaps, and his trainers expect to see him at least inside the money in all four events. Should Irish Lad capture all, or even three of these races, he would make a record never equalled on the turf. Irish Lad, winner of last year's Brooklyn handicap, runner up in the Suburban Renewal and one of the moet popular thoroughbreds on the Tankee turf, is now quartered in the Whitney stable at Sheepshead Bay. He wintered at Aiken and has come for ward in a manner that surprised even his trainers. The second 3-year-old ever to win a Brooklyn, he has round ed Into a strudy, thoroughly seasoned handicap horse, with flights of speed even greater than he promised in his earlier years. He is one of those price less pieces of horseflesh which one hard race after another fails to wear out, and, realizing- this, Mr. Rogers has brought the Candlemas colt on care fully, not pointing him for any race in particular, but rather with a view to a. gruelling, record-breaking campaign. If present plans are carried out Irish Lad will make his first appearance this season in the Metropolitan at Morris Park. Should a race or two in the meantime be deemed desirable, he will start at Jamaica, but his trainer would prefer that he should not face the flag until Metropolitan day. He will pack 123 pounds in that race, which is at a mile, and if McChesney does not start will probably go to the post one of the favorites. After a few more races at Morris Park, Irish. Lad will be shipped to Gravesend or the Brooklyn. Picking up 125 pounds in this feature event of the Brooklyn Jockey club, he is carded to meet such crackajacks as McChes ney, 129 pounds; Hermit. 128 pounds; Africander, 126 pounds Advance Guard, 121 pounds; The Picket, 119 pounds, and many others. All going well Irish Lad will race through the Gravesend meeting, and go to the post for the Suburban. In this famous handicap, as it now looks, he will receive his hardest trying out. He carries a pound less in the Subur ban than in the Brooklyn, but in the Sheepshead Bay fixture he is carded to measure strides not only with, all the stars he meets in the Brooklyn, but with Waterboy as well Waterboy, the winner of last year's Suburban Renew al, the Brighton and Saratoga handi caps and maker of new racetrack and world's records. Next comes the Brighton, with its $25,000 purse, after which, if the game 4-year-old has anything like realized the hopes of his trainers, he will go to Saratoga to continue his campaign at the "Newmarket of America." Truly a long and strenuous campaign has been mapped out for this son of Can dlemas, who, if he goes through it suc cessfully, will have well earned the title of "The Iron Horse, Jr." John Will Defeats Larry Temple. Chicago, April 16. John Will of Chi cago knocked out Larry Temple of Boston in the last round of a six round contest last night. In the preliminary Clarence Forbes of Chicago won from Harry Cobb of Buffalo in the fifth round on a foul. Hart and Ilulilin Rematelied. New York, Apri1. 16.

In a Seven Inning Game the Emporia Normals Won, 17 to 5. Emporia. Kas.. April 16. A seven inning game between the Washburn college and the State Normal ball teams was played in a srale of wind here. Washburn was defeated by a score of 17 to 5. In first two innings Washburn played snappy ball but in the third, inning the college team went up in the air and the teachers scored twelve times. After that the visitors lost their nerve and errors came frequently and in critical places. The game opened with Coldren in the box for Washburn. In' the third in ning he was replaced by Hanska. After the third inning the twirling for Washburn was done by Moehler. The only brilliant work done on the Wash burn team was done by Mehl, the catcher, who played a great game. The team work of the teachers was excellent. But one costly error was made and the record of hits was al most phenomenal. Shane, the teach ers' new pitcher, threw a remarkably swift tame and Only one walk and rour hits are charged to him.

Jef ferson Weatherby, 4 years old, fell down the corn chute of an oat meal mill here Friday afternoon and prob ably will die. The child was playing where its father was at work when it stepped into a -chute left open by ac cident. One leg was broken in two places and the other leg partly crushed. Child Burned to Death. Coffeyville. Kan., April 16. The 2 years and 6 months' old daughter of Arthur Bird, a farmer living fourteen miles northeast of Coffeyville, was burned to death in a fire which con sumed the Bird home. The fire was caused by the explosion of an incu bator lamp, which was in the kitchen. The high wind which was blowing spread the flames quickly and the re mainder of the family barely escaped with their lives.' W. E? Stanley In Court. Wichita, April 16. Former Governor Stanley appeared in court here Friday afternoon for the first time since his return from Tishomingo. He is acting as counsel for the plaintiff in the case of Barton Bros., wholesalers, against Bobbins, banker. It is a Kingman county case, which twice has gone to the supreme court and each time was reversed. Largest Oil Well in Kansas. Humboldt, April 16. The largest oil well ever reported in Kansas was brought in Friday on the Gerken lease, just east of this city. It is estimated at 3,000 barrels a day. This well is owned by the St. Joseph Oil and G;xa company. Their manager, Mr. Clarke. a new man at the oil business, is well pleased at their success. Dogs' Beauty Doctors. And now the dogs have their beautv doctors that is, Paris dogs have them if their owners feel moved to pay the ne cessary fees for the attentions of the pro fession. Sooner or later everything that human beings find good is adopted by or is thrust upon the dogs, especially pet dogs, and, absurd as it may seem at first thought that a masseur for dngs should be able to earn his salt, it is easy to see, after a moment's reflection, that an un selfish mistress, knowing the' comforting power of massage, should want "doggie to experience it, too. It's a far cry from the position in life that a dog who "sleeps out in the shed" holds to that of one who is massaged into trinmess. and daintiness. Boston Transcript. Health Is Youth.

"Cultured" Students at Law rence in Annual "Mix up". Classmen Clash and Police Com pelled to Act. SEVEN AHE ARRESTED. Fined $10.50 In Court Which Comrades Promptly Pay. Was"Jun. Prom. "Day, Lead ing Society Occasion. Lawrence, Kan., April 16. Fights among student classmen of the Uni versity of Kansas, which the police of the town were called upon to put down, marked the preparations for the an nual "Jun. Prom." The "Prom." was given in Everett hall by the class of 1905 last night. A concerted effort was made by the sophomores to prevent the social event planned by the juniors, and the freshmen, following the usual custom, joined forces with the third class men.- Even the girls of the sev eral classes took a hand in the defense of their respective class colors. The "Jun. Prom." is the leading social event of the university year, and the class fight has for years been a regular feature of "Jun. Prom." day. So when the date for the dance by the class of '05, was announced prepara tions for the inevitable clash immed iately began. In the last Shree days several sophomores have been captured by members of the junior and fresh men classes and tied to trees. Friday morning the sophomores re taliated. They located the juniors in Everett hall, which they were placing in readiness for the "Prom.," and marching up the stairs from Massa chusetts street, they demanded admis sion. When this was refused they pro cured a pole which they used as a bat tering ram in forcing an entrance, in side the hall a general fight was in dulged in. None of the participants received more than slight injuries, tiut most of the decorations which had been put in place were torn down and tram pled upon the floor. The police answered a can to tne hall, and after a brief struggle plac.-d seven of the sophomores under arrest. The students were arraigned in police court for disturbing the peace and a fine of $5 and costs, amounting in each case to $10.50, was assessed against each offender. The fines were paid uy fellow classmen and the fighting was then resumed. When the juniors first started upon the work of decorating the hall thy discovered that their class president was not among their number, bearcli ing parties were sent out, but no clew to his whereabouts could be obtained. The juniors believe he was spirited out of town to prevent his attendance up on the -"Prom." While the boy members of the sopho more classere charging the Juniors, the girls of the 'class set out to cap ture the girl juniors. -Several- of them were marshaled n line and made to march about.-the university campus, after which they were locked in their rooms and the doors were carefully guarded. Each cab driven to the hall last night was guarded by three or four men, but notwithstanding these pre cautions, the "Sophs" succeeded in capturing a few of the juniors. Some of these they locked in the cellar of a deserted dwelling on the outskirts of town. Seventeen sophomores were sur prised by a larger force of juniors and were taken to the hall, where they were tied to chairs and other articles of furniture. Despite the number of students who were prevented from attending there were nearly 200 guests at the ball. SENSATION AT GLASCO. Traveling Advent ist Preacher Stirs Up a Religious Row. Glasco, April 16. Taney Wilson, a Methodist Advent evangelist from Cal ifornia, has just closed a three weeks' meeting held in the Church of Christ here. Some of his followers who had heard him in California were so im pressed by his sound doctrine that they encouraged him to come and hold a series of meetings that the misguided and skeDtic might be taught the scrip tures in its truth and simplicity. The different ministers and their congrega tions, together with the multitude of sinners were pledged to put forth the best efforts to convert the public to a life of activity in doing good. The audience soon discovered that he was Bright's Disease and Diabetes News. To the Women of Topeka. San Francisco April 9. Some of you have loved ones stricken with. Bright's Disease or Diabetes.

REFIT SK AM SUBSTITUTES. an Adventist of the old style, and a failure to believe and act in harmony with his theories would eternally ruin one. He compared the people to a nest of Jaybirds swallowing any and every thing the mother bird might feed them. He called disbelievers knock kneed, gimblet-jointed. elab-sided ig norant nonentities. He offered mocit prayer in derision of other sectarian worshipers. After listening to his abuie some of the members complained to his supporters that he would have to either stop his abusive ungentlemanly language in the pulpit or cease preach ing altogether. When he heard of this he compared them to a lot of dogs, who, when y m had thrown a stone among them you could always tell who had been hit by those who howled the loudest; and then he roared and said the local pa per had failed to mention the glorious meetings he was having. He finally closed his meetings and visited with the brethren. When he returned Sun day morning at the church prepared to continue his meetings he was in formed by the trustees of the church that he could not conduct any more meetings in that house. With utterances of condemnation the character of each of the trustees was brought forth in all their wicked ness and weakness for worldly dissi pation. Also one of the deacons was persuaded to acknowledge publicly that he had deliberately lied on the good Brother Wilson when he said that he wished that two of the brothers would stay away from the meetings. TO IMPROVE STOCK. An Association Has Been Formed by Breeders at Glasco. Glasco. Kan., April 16. The Glasco Improved Stock Show Sale asso ciation has been organized and offi cers elected as follows: President, J. M. Copeland; secretary, G. H. Ber nard; treasurer, G. W. Hussey. The vice presidents are: L. H. Cool, J. M. Copeland. W. W. Palmer. George Nowels, W. A. Davidson, George Chap man, E. E. Butler, J- H. Martin and C. C. King. They .are all prominent thorough bred stockmen, in cattle as well as horses and hogs. Other owners of herds in this vicinity are W. E. Ore baugh, Frank Wilson, George Cold well, John Chase. J. A. Nicol,' and others, who handle from 50 to 100 head. The dates of the association and sale meeting have been fixed for May 20 and 21. The object for which the associa tion was organized is to unite all own ers and fanciers of pure bred stock in this locality into one society for the promotion of the interests of- good stock, to stimulate pure stook breed ing and to create a greater interest so that more people in the community may become fanciers of pure bred stock to the end that the live stock interests of this vicinity may be ad vanced. The country around Glasco is filling up rapidly with thoroughbred stock, having more than doubled in the past few years, and more farmers are en gaging in the industry, as they see the success of those who have been engaged in it for the last few years. TONGANOXIE OFFICIALS QUIT. A Difference in the Policy of Handling Liquor the Cause. Tonganoxie. Kan., April 16. The mayor, J. S. Grist, and the four mem bers of the council, B. F. Blakely. Enos Jones, W. H. Ridgeway and C. A. Leidy, have tendered their resig nations. All the elective officials of the place decided to resign because of a difference of opinion as to the prop er policy in handling the liquor ques tion. The mayor and four councilmen were elected a year ago on a "dry" ticket platform, but in spite of their best efforts there have been "joints" here. Some of the town officials final ly favored collecting a monthly license for town revenue from the "jointkeep ers." At the last meeting of the council a resolution was adopted stating that owing to a lack of harmony it was deemed best for the interest of the city for the mayor and council to re sign. There will be a special election in May to select a new mayor and council. This place is organized as a city of the third class under the laws of Kansas. CHAXVTE SELLS RIGHTS. Makes a Deal With an Oil Contractor on 200 Acres. Chanute, Kan.. April 16. At a spe cial meeting of the council a deal was closed with A. L. Moore, whereby the city transferred the oil rights on 200 acres of land in consideration of which the sum of $2,000 and four gas wells will be paid. The rights that were transferred are in the Ditmars and Cole farms, 200 acres in all, and the price per acre was $10. Mr. Moore agrees to drill rour gas wens and deliver them to the city. Should these wells turn out to be oil wells, they will become the property of Mr. Moore and drilling will be continued until the four gas wells are secured. This is one of the most important deals that has been made by the city for it gives them a big saving in a pipe line. State Instructors at.K. V. Lawrence, April 16.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, APREL 16,1904, 4 ATE CLYDE Discusses the Proper Education For Women and Approves Many of the Old Fashioned Ideas t H VERY now and then one sees 1 a In the papers articles from I prominent citizens advocating mn changes in the system of edu cation. It seems to be a pet subject, and it has been so since way back. There are outcries from the advocates of practical education, from the advo cates of the classical and from the ad vocates of the ideal. There are those who be lieve in spe cialization and those who be lieve in an all around educa tion. Take it as a whole, the system of edu cation never seems to be quite right. Lately we have had a return to the practical after a few years of the ideal. The kin dergarten craze, which was car With (A oi'i of a fuid book. ried to such extremes that it attained the proportions of a. fad, has dwindled to Its proper place, and, indeed, some pronounce it unfit for American school children on the ground that they are too precocious and themselves think it Billy. It may ba that this return to Bound common sense has emboldened eome one to start the ball a-rolling on the subject of the proper education of women, but at any rate it is being re vived on all its points. I am forced to say I agree with many of the arguments of the opponents of the present system. What use are the higher mathematics, for instance, to a girl unless she is to teach school? I mean the average girl, of course. She won't remember them any length of time, and it will cause her endless labor, waste of strength and waste of health by staying indoors to get them through her head. Why not again give a girl modern languages instead of Latin and Greek? What will a girl's knowledge of Caesar and Cicero avail her if she is stranded in France or Germany aid can only express herself w ith the aid of a guidebook The Homely Accomplishment. And why, for goodness' sake, despise the useful branches of a girl's educa tion cocking, the care of a house and marketing? And why make such a dark mystery of everything connected with the care of a child so that the av erage young mother, who has perhaps Just recently graduated from high school, makes a perfect fool of herself and is more helpless than the dumb animals themselves when it comes to taking care of her own baby? It is just as absurd to allow a girl to marry with out understanding the care and man asment of a household as it would be to allow a lawyer to practice law with out knowledge of the laws themselves. And will you please tell me how a E!rl is to find time to learn all these HARU-KO, EMPRESS OF JAPAN. It was a ;rreat event in Japan when for the first time the mikado appeared In public accompanied by his wife, bcth dressed in the costume of western nations. No ruler of Japan had previously ever thus honored a wife. It began a new era for the country in the treatment of women. Since the mikado hon ored the empress by appearing before all men with her beside him Japanese g-entlemen must do the same as a matter of courtesy. Consequently ere long other Japs appeared in company with their wives, who were usually also dressed in Paris gowns, the husbands on these occasions showing their ladies all the courtesy western men bestow on the feminine sex. Xotable, however, is the influence of dress on the human mind. When the new Jap is abroad with his wife, if she is dressed in the native costume, he Is no more polite to her than the? old Jap was to women. If she is in western attire, however, her husband treats her with due deference. Kmpress Ilaru-ko is greatly attached to the crown prince, who is not her own boy, but the son of another woman. The ruier of Japan is allowed to have several wives, in order that the dynasty may not run out. Empress Haru-ko, however, takes precedence of the others and is called "the honorable lady." This title shows instinctive respect for monogamy even among a people whose Customs have hitherto permitted the opposite system. f I v J i I! 0 V C. things so vital to her happiness and j comfort if she is kept continually learn-t ing a lot of dry as dust tommyrot? jj I am not one of those narrow minded -women who believe that higher edu-' cation is entirely out of woman's sphere and that marriage is the only thing for her. I believe that every woman should j be made self supporting to save her self respect, to give her a chance to lm-1 prove herself and to save her from thei necessity or the danger of making a loveless marriage. But does the ordi nary girl's education fit her to earn her own living? I am sorry to say it does not. She emerges from school with her brain packed with studies the school curriculum forced her to learn, but with her mind stored with very few ideas which will bring other ideas in return. Value of "SpeclHzlnsr.n I believe in specializing so far as a girl's education is concerned. It should be the aim of the mother and of the teacher to learn where the girl's great est talent lies and to direct it along that channel. Every girl should be given, first, the rudiments of educa tion and then taught the practical things, such as how to cook and buy ordinary meats and vegetables. She should be taught all that pertains tc home, and then, to fit her for the time when she shall meet the right man 01 supposing she does not marry at all. she should have her strongest taleru cultivated as much as possible in ordei that she may have a means of liveli hood. There is a great deal, too, in the at mosphere of a school. Give me on? where the girls are taught to concen trate their minds and to think for them selves. That is the great trouble wit! most women they are helpless becausi they have not been taught to unit courage witi common sens and to learn t come to thei own decisions and to stick ti them. Parrot learn ing, cramming false ambition long hours spen: stooping over desk to the det riment of healt! t h e s e a r things that art worse than use less.

This is certainly the era of reflnemen in dress and appearance. Loud color in dress aie absolutely "out." to use dressmaker's term. Certainly nothin loud is seen on the street. Costum: to be smart must all be in one ton' hats, gloves, furs and even the biouse of lace are dyed to match. t. 3 Hi Mi The hair is dressed much smaller and in such a way that it reveals the artis tic lines of the head instead of the un tidy and often unsightly pompadour, which was the most conspicuous thing about a woman, to the exclusion of her face and her expression. There are pompadours still, but they are modest affairs which merely frame the face instead of overshadowing it. Separate waists of contrasting colors are things of the past. One does not now see a pale blue or a pink waist worn with a black, cloth skirt which is made to do duty on every occasion. The waist worn with the black cloth skirt is of some soft, black material lace, net or crepe de chine and is re lieved by a gold chain or a piece of jewelry. In this manner the "cut in two" effect is to a great extent done away with, and the best lines of a fig ure are brought out. This fad of harmonizing is carried out as much as possible even with shirt "Give her a chi7ice." wists. and in the case of the latter tbt tie and belt match the skirt, be it blue, black or brown. The acme of comfort has been reach ed in street suits, so that they are no longer heavy or trailing; neither do they present the skimp and abbreviate'., lines of the short skirt. The street costume of the moment is merely a long tailor made, just as prettily and a. daintily contrived as any other, only it has no train, and the front and sid are cut just to escape the ground in stead of touching it.

April 16. C. S. Jobes, president of the American National bank of Kansas City, was the success ful bidder for the second 3 million dol lar issue of temporary Philippine cer tificates. The bid was in the name of the American National bank and was for 101. 1S1. A New York syndicate, which had believed it included all the institutions that would offer bids, was thoroughly outwitted and humiliated when the result was announced. There was much merry comment about the treasury department at the unexpected success of the Kansas City j man. The syndicate bid was for l'W and a fraction. The certificates will l e issued in coupon form in the denomi nation of $1,000 and will be redeemable in a year. They bear interest at the I rate of 4 per cent. The syndicate which I had confidently counted upon the issue is composed of the National City ban of New York, the guarantee irusi company, Harvey Fiske Sons and Fiske Robinson. Mr. Joles went to New York and asked a representative of the syndica'.e to let him in on the bid. His requo.st was refused. "Very well," replied Mr. Jobes. "I will go back to back to Washington and bid on the issue myself." The statement was not taken seri ously until Mr. Jobes appeared wi!h his bid accompanied by a certified check for $30,000. The Philippine certificates are issued under the act of congress, "Establish ing a standard of value and providing for a coinage system in the Philip pines." The sale of temporary cert.li cates of indebtedness, not exceeding 3 million dollars at one time, is author ized to be used as a continuing credit for the purchase of ilver bullion for the Philippine coinag. Under this let there was an issue of S million dollars and the present issue, which will bear date of May 1, 1904, will replace the first. The T'ire Record. H. E. Lyman's barn, at 1030 Polk street, was totally destroyed by firs of incendiary origin at 2:27 this morn ing. The loss was 1225, covered by insurance. There was no horse In the barn, but a buggy was destroyed. This mav be the starting of another run of incendiary fires. The last time Frank Stahl was chief of police he had to fight an epidemic of incen diarism, and it may be that if he is appointed, he will run into the same proposition again. The fire department had tremend ous water pressure, and although the barn was completely enveloped in llames when the apparatus arrived, none of the other barns and buildings in the immediate vicinity were in jured.

MUST BE A STRIKE. President of Loeiil Union Says One Can't Be Arofded. In spite of the dispatches from the east relative to the trouble between j the Santa Fe and International As sociation of Machinists which invaria bly say that the proposed strike has been abandoned by the machinists, the officials of the road still hold that J trouble is inevitable and even the ma chinists themselves are forced to ad mit that preparations for a strike are progressing rapidly. Kred Robertson, president of the local lodge of the machinists' union, who is in a. position to know whereof he speaks, made the startling state ment today that a strike could not be avoided and that he thought it would come within the course of the next two weeks. He said: "One cannot tell very much about what Is groingr on in Washington by reading the press dispatches. The gen eral tone of these indicate that the machinists have practically given up the fight but this is not so. A secret vote on the question of a strike has been taken and all the ballots were to have been counted Friday. This vote will simplify matters greatly and will serve to bring about a decision In a very short time." Mitchell Expected at Pueblo. Pueblo, Colo., April 16. President John Mitchell of the United Mine Workers of America is expected to reach here today to confer with the officials and strike leaders In the or ganization. According to the officials of the organization in Pueblo there is every indication that the strike in the southern field will be settled during Mr. Mitchell's visit. l-zfzmxf,. -.,--rr. fr Batter Food Cleaner IToo IPurer Food LET US CAREY IT FOR YOU- That package, grip, box, trunk, merchandise or any light express or freight you want delivered.

Prerents Attorneys from Com plicating 'ew Era Stores. Judge Pollock of the United States court this morning emphatically re fused to permit the receiver of the John B. Spear bankruptcy stock, to take possession of the New Era stores in the city, because of the claim set forth that Mr. Spear is their possessor. One o these places is in .N'orth Topeka and the other on the south side, and they are now operated by Mrs. John firear, Mr. Spear's sister. Further than that Mrs. Grear claims owner ship, and the court felt that it would be wrong to simply take this property away from the people who control it at the present time, until the trustee should make proper investigations and thoroughly convince himself on the subject. William Sterne is the receiver. The application this morning was argued aixi pepared by W. S. McC'lintock of this city and James Street of St. Joseph, as attorneys. After the case was finished, a number of the lawyers talked quite freely about the applica tion as a mean injustice to Mrs. firear. The facts in the case are that Mrs. drear and her relatives were not notified that an application would be made to take the property from them today. They were subpoenaed yester day morninsr to appear as witneses and not as defendants. Judge Pollock stated that it was the duty of the trustee to look Into the merits of the case, and not the court at the present time. "For that pur pose," said Judge Pollock, "the trus tee is appointed. On next Wednesday when the creditors met, he will be chosen, and if he thinks that these New Era stores belong to Mr. Spear he can bring an action. It is not the thing to do now, to order those stores put into the hands of the receiver. That matter must be handled in the regular manner." While James Street argued that the action this morning was simply an ap plication for instructions, the court divined the real import, that it should order the possession of the stores into the hands of the receiver .and this it denied. After the case was over Mr. Street said: "This entire matter will have to be taken before the court any how at a later time, and I thought to bring it up now." The application did not only charee that Spear owned the two New Era stores but further said that he took in cash, receipts amounting to more than $1,000 for which no counting has been given. The creditors' meeting will be held Ht the office of J. G. Slonecker, referee in bankruptcy, on next Wednesday and a trustee elected. Some of the Interested parties anticipate a rather lively tinu. The Grear family, which claims own ership of the New Era store, feels bad ly hurt at the action of the attorneys this morning In claiming that their property In reality la owned by John f i I 1 4 a 1

f i H

.s-y Spear.- They feel that it will impair their credit. The real truth of the mat ter will come out when the trustee ts appointed, for he is vested with full power to investigate all the matters pertaining to the bankruptcy and cuii bring action at any time to further in form himself. The attorneys for the Grenrs did not spare the other side one whit this morning in making plain what they thought of the application. "Without notification, while in reality defend ants, we were simply subpoenaed an witnesses." said one of them, "ari l here we are in cVart this mornine to face a charge of that kind. It is damaging without a doubt to the New Era st'Ves and it will hurt the credit of their owners." FIREMEN'S RELIEF FUND Topeka Gets Second Largest Amount S"J,155. M. The apportionment of the firemen's relief fund, which is collected each year by the state from the fire insur ance companies which do business in Kansas, was completed today by the state insurance department. The ag gregateof the fund is $2'5,900.&3, an increase of $2,4 95 over last year. The firemen's fund is collected by levying a tax of 2 per cent on the business of each company written during the year in each town with a fire department having fire fighting apparatus of a value of $1,000 or more- Kansas City, Kan., gets a larger amount than any other town of course. It gets $4,328.44. Topeka sets $2,155.S9. and Wichita $1,977.76. There are 116 towns entitled to par ticipate in the tax. Thayer gets the least, $20.16. TREASURER SHORT.

A Settlement Happily Effected In the Case ol Henry btory in Time to Avert a Serious Misfortune. If all the troubles of the coal miners could be adjusted as satisfactorily as that which for many months disturbed the happiness of Mr. Henry Story, of jU aehieeldru e." oOe 632 Muskingum avenue, Zanesvil'.e, Ohio, it would be a most welcome re lief for both the men and their fami lies. The miners form a large and Impor tant part of our population, and they will be greatly interested in the solu tion which Mr. Story found for a dif ficulty in which any one of them may find himself at any moment, as it is a frequent incident in the miner's occu pation and a serious hindrance to his success. The facts in the case were related by Mrs. Story, who was deeply con cerned, and who is a very happy wo man today because her husband has had such a fortunate escape from the calamity that threatened him. "My husband," says Mrs. Story, "is a very hard working man and has al ways been very healthy, but some months ago rheumatism got nold of him, and made him suffer terribly, and would soon have used him up if it had not been for Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Rale People, which, we think, are the best medicine in the world. "He suffered so much in his legs that he could hardly stand; his back hurt, and he had such pain in his left -arm that he could not rest night or day. His arm would turn numb and I would have to rub and bathe it in hot water. I tried everything I could think of to give him relief. "At last he went to a doctor, who told him that his trouble had come from hard work. The doctor gave him some medicine, but it did not do any good. "In the meantime I picked up a pa per and read about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People and thought my husband's trouble might be with hia nerves. I got two boxes of the pills for him and had to urge him to take them, because he had always been so healthy that he was not in the habit of taking medicine. "After he had taken the first box he felt much better, and when he had lin ished the second box he was better still. So I bought six boxes the nett time and he took four of them, th.it is six boxes in all. That is three months ago and he has never had an ache or pain since and can do a hard day's work with any young man. We praise Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to all our friends." I These famous pills cure all diseases of the blood such as rheumatism, and of the nerves such as neuralgia and partial paralysis. They effect radical curs in obstinate maladies because they go to the root of the trouble, ex pelling all poisons from the blood, and supplying nutritive elements that re pair wasted tissues and give fresh vi tality to weakened nerves. They are sold by all druggists. A special book let on Nervous Disorders, or on Dis eases of the Blood, may be obtained by simply writing to Dr. Williams Medi cine Co., Scheneetady, N. Y.

Reports of a defalcation by an erhploye of the Chemical National bank, one of the largest financial institutions here, have been cleared up by a statement from Cashier Francis Halpin.

M'coLLui rnwr KNOW Shows Woeful Ignorance About the "lloyal." Chief of Police McCollum knows nothing about the connecting link be tween Alike Thompson. Wood Fowler, Si Hurst and Tobe Tobias, sometimes alluded to as the "Royal Flush," or "Big 4," "and the Royal point and gam bling establishment at 710 Kansas ave nue. Yv'hile under oath as a witness in po lice court, where he was supposed to assist in the conviction of the "Big 4" and the justification of the two com plaints against them, which he had sworn to personally, McCollum made the statement that he didn't know anything which would be of any use as testimony against them. The police judge and prosecuting at torney have experienced considerable difficulty in getting McCollum into court when they wanted him, and last evening was no exception to the rule. McCollum seems to dislike the job of being a police court witness, and un like all former chiefs, does not attend court and assist in the prosecution. On this occasion, however, the court and prosecuting attorney thought they were going to get some information out of McCollum, as he had sworn to the complaints, and by so doing had sworn that he had information which warranted the action. While McCollum was on the stand Judge Hamilton took a hand and ask ed him some questions concerning the case. He asked McCollum if he had not been in the Royal and seen the de fendants there prior to the day of tho; first raid. McCollum admitted that he had, and that he was sent there by the mayor to tell Mike Thompson that he would have to close the place. On the occasion which McCollum admit ted having been there, which was the day before the raid, he sat in the bil liard room, about 20 feet from the thin partition between the billiard room and joint, but business was not sus pended. A string of customers passed and repassed the chief of police and the chief of gamblers while they conferred, and the door in the partition was not even fastened. McCollum did not go into these details while telling of the visit. He also failed to explain whv none of the names of witnesses found in the place the day it was aired were turned over to the prosecuting attor ney so they might have been subpoe naed. While he was on the stand Mc Collum had all the appearance of an unwilling witness, and what he knew was in no way injurious to the defend ants. The two sergeants, McElroy and Darby, and three policemen, Ross, Bundy and Asher who made the raid, together with McCollum, followed his lead, and knew almost nothing about it when they testified. The four defendants were each tried on two counts, resulting from the two raids. Out of the eight cases Mike Thompson was alone convicted on one count. and the evidence was no stronger against him than against trie others. He was practically convicted on the same evidence which discharg ed the others. His case was appealed. The cases were the results of the two farcical, noisy and spectacular raids made by the police on the afternoon pt April 8 and the night of April 9, wh?n a lot of chopping was done and nothing of value as evidence found after the police got inside. Some old gambling paraphernalia, consisting of poker chi,is and dismantled tables, were seized at the time, but the plunder did not have any appearance of having been in recent use. No Reduction In Grain Hates. Chicago. April 16. Eastern traffic officials at their meeting here have de cided not to make the customary spring reduction in rates on grain and grain products from Chicago to the east. This will leave the tariff on do mestic grain and grain products from Chicago to New York by the all-rail lines at 20 cents for 100 pounds, or 2 cents higher than last summer. On export grain from Chicago to New York the rate will be 15 cents for 100 pounds and on grain products I6V3 cents. The lake and rail rates will be 2 cents less than the all-rail rates. Phil adelphia will continue to get a differ ential of 2 cents be.ow the New York rate 011 grain products and Baltimore of 3 cents, but on grain the differential to Philadelphia will be only one cent and to Baltimore IV2 cents. Circle Company Enjoined. In the United States' court yester day afternoon J:lge Pollock granted an injunction against the Circle Lin 1 Cattle company for fencing up e-ov-ernment land in Wallace county. A notice of five clays was given for the removal of the fences, and if not com plied with in that time, the govern ment will pull them down. Th-? order restrains the defendants from main taining the fences which are now con structed and from buildirg more fences around government land in Kansas. It also restrains them f'om asserting exclusive right to the land, and from preventing people from en tering 011 the land for the purpose of establishing a residence. Pour Heaths on the Voyage.

Ailing Women Find Yin8Seng Tonic Helpful Vin-Seng Tonic is so mild that th weakest stomach easily retains it. It build3 up the strength, insures regular ity, and prevents Nausea, Bloating, Cramps and Fainting Spells. So many women are delicate and need some mild pleasant medicine to carry them over periods of illness. Vin-Seng Tonio is ideal for that purpose. It relieves the unpleasant symptoms almost im mediately, and will ultimately cure 99 per cent of the cases where it Is faith fully tried. We Have Faith in Vin-Sens Tonic. So much faith that we guarantee it. We put our reputation and standing as a square druggist behind it. If Vin Seng Tonic failed to do what we claim for It we could not afford to sell it. Our offer is to return the money if the medicine does no good. Thousands of bottles have been sold under this guarantee. W'e would lose money mighty fast if the Tonic failed to do what we claim for it. It costs mighty little to try it if it cures. It costs nothing if it does no good. Note the Price It's Cheaper. Single bottles of Vin-Seng Tonic are 50 cents. They are the same as the dollar size in other medicines. If you take three bottles we make them for $1.25.

'.'00 francs 4 or the season extended to her. After jie burning of the old Koyal theater In Berli-i, a new edifice was at once erected and it was planned to open it with a new opera and an unknown rtist of the first rank. Meyerbeer, who had returned to Berlin from Paris, received the commission to write the new opera and secure the Infer. The opera was "The Camp in Fllesia," now known as "L'Etoile du Kord" and Jenny Lind was the artist. But the latter, had to go through a serious course of preparation, for she knew no German and but little of operatic work. She was taken Into the home of Mme. Birch-Pfeiffer, a teacher of long experience, and here she was kept during her training; in a singularly secreted way. First of ail, the Swed ish girl had to learn German, and then how to fill the musical, declamatory and mimic demands of her art. and the social forms and customs of vhlch she was curiously ignorant. She j as&ed as a boarder in the house, only her teacher's sister being in the se cret. The taskmaster was a stern one, nd Jenny found her work highly try ing, but she stood to It pluck.ily. Mme. Birch-PfeuTer said of her: "iVhat do you think of my Jenny? She is a pood, brave girl; I love her as a daughter, and she- Is deserving of it. I know that she has much to learn and she is very industrious. They take our calling for an easy one, but there is much to it. Two hours a day she has to read German, and to speak it and write it, an hour for declamation and mimics, two hours of music and the rest of the time practice. But it cannot be done in any other way. We will have our reward in her brilliant success. At this period jenny is a scribed as "Pretty she was not. twenty-two years old, slender, thin, with Oermanic features, beautiful blue eyes. long, pale blonde curls, her ap pearance decidedly attractive, yet in ro way indicating that she was fitted to take a ranking place in the world." Eighteen thousand marks was her compensation for six months' work. She did not appear at the dedication of the new theater on December 7, 1S44, but eight days later she came upon the stage as Norma. She was still studying the part of Vielka in ."The Camp," and her application was to intense and her progress so rapid, that on January 5. 1545, she appeared In Meyerbeer's opera, and achieved so marked a success that it gave her the name which will ever remain as one of the greatest singers of the lyric stage. Moscheles, who was present at the performance in Berlin, has re corded his Impressions: "Jenny Lind has fairly enchanted me; she is unique in her way. and her song with two concertante flutes is, perhaps, the most incred.ble feat in the way of bravura singing that can possibly be heard. What a glorious singer she is. and so unpretentious withal." After her Berlin engagement Jenny went to London, and there created a furore that has never been equaled in the historv of the stage. She had been "boomed" very heavily, and as Grove puts it. as a result "pages couid be filled by describing the excesses of the public." Chorley says "prices rose to a fabulous height. In short, the town, sacred and rrofane. went mad about the Swedish nightingale." Yet this singer, despite her great operatic success, remained on the b-ric stace only a short time, for she impaired XjsJ iskey and. Beer Habi PERMANENTLY CURED BY ORRIWE," ABSOLUTELY SAFE.

Tet throughout her strikingly bril liant career, when all the world did mad and impassioned homage to this lovetv woman and gifted cantatrice, she did not forget the teacher who drilled her for her operatic career, and her friendship for Mme. Birch Pfieffer lasted until the latter's death In 1S63. The teacher has 4eft a rare tribute to the pupil In the statement that in a visit to Berlin "she broug-ht the true loyal heart with her, and all the brilliant sheen, all the enormous fame has, like water from the' plu mp.fe of a swan, passed over her soul without tarnishing its purity." AX I'X REHEARSED MOB SCEXE. The Irish Stare Hands Had Never Seen tlie Play of "Kean." "Tes. the mob scene in The Pit' is a fine one. but I once saw a better in a little theater in Providence, R. I.," snid an old stage hand at the Lyric theater the other day. according to the Xew York Tiibune. "In fact, it d i could have spoUed it Dut i didn't. It was too good to spoil. The performance was given by an Italian company, the members i of which could not speak any Ene-lish, and Kean was tne play. The draraa had never been presented 1:1 that house before, and, as there had been no rehearsals, the local stage hands, who were all Irish, knew absolutely nothing of the business. As usual, the king sat out in a box in the house during the big act. and a nu merous crowd of players, considering the size of the company, sat with him. The Italians evidently enjoyed play ing that scene, and hoped to make it thrilling. They did all right. It was the most realistic thing I ever saw. When the commotion arose the Irish sU,ge hands, not understanding at all what it meant, thought the audience was trying to mob the stage. 'Mike,' the big chief, rushed out on the stage and saw several people, as he sup posed members of the audience, try ing to get over the footlights. He ran back, calling for assistance, and seized a huge red fire ax. Brandishing this over his head he flew back upon the stage, crying that he would kill the first man who tried to get at the actors. He shouted as if he meant it, and the audience cheered what they doubtless supnoeed CL0td LhoVe, ulltr down realism. Then 'Pa rushed to the fire the nozzle and dragged the hose after him out on to the stage, yelling for somebody to turn on the water.

Tonight "A Chinese Honeymoon" reaches its l.OuOth performance at the Strand, the longest run in London of any musical play, the previous best being the run of "Dorothy," which was performed 931 times. Including the provinces, however, the "Honey moon" has a long journey to go be fore it catches up to another musical play that is still on the road Mr. Van'Biene's "A Broken Melody," of which the 3,055th performance will j be reached on Friday. Probably the an Biene play holds tne wono. s j long-run record for any theatrical production. After "A Broken Mel- j ody," taking stage works generally, comes "Charley's Aunt." It is impos- sible to tell how many times this piece has been played consecutively by a single company, both in and out of London, but it must run into several thousands, and into many thousands including the performances of thejthe mphcar.y casket, and- numerous companies played it contemporaneously abroad and at home. From this point view Charley s Aunt record of its own. Only four plays have run in Lon don for a thousand performances and over, viz.: "Charley's Aunt. 1,466; "Our Boys." 1.362: "The Private Sec retary, over 1.000: "A Chinese Honey moon. 1.00O; the mnners-up being "Dorothy." 931: "San Toy," over S00: "La Poupee," 778: "The Geisha," 760; and "A Country Girl." "Sweet Lav ender" and "Patience," each about 700. "Charley's Aunt's" record London run commenced at the Royalty on December 21. 1S92. and ended at the Globe on February 2 4. IS 97. "Our Boys" started at the Vaudeville on January 26, 1875. and ran there un ceasingly for more than four vears until April 18. 1S79. "A Chinese Honeymoon" has held the Strand theater boards since October 4. 1901. In our great-great-grandfathers' days a run of thirty-five nights such as that achieved, for example, by Ad- j dison's "Cato" at Drury Lane in 1713 was regarded with astonishment. while the sixtv-two nerf ormances of 4 "The Beggar's Opera" in 1727 was fi theatrical nine days' wonder.

One is by William Jerome, the writer of popular songs, many of whose efforts were introduced by the long comedian. Said Jerome the other day: "I was the only eong writer who could ever induce Dan to try a r.ew song or attempt an interpolation. This I attribute more to my familiarity with his disposition than to the merits of the songs, for many other good sonsrs were suggested to him, only to be re jected. "It was my method to approach Dan with a new number and say: 'I've got a new song here and I guess it must be rotten, for I can't get anybody ro sing it-' Let me see it." replied Daly. After humming it over, he would say: 'I don't think that's so bad." 'Well.' I would say, 'Bulger. Cav thorne, and Eddie Foy ail turned it down.
