All the other new and re-elected state offi cers took office at the same time. The ceremonies took place in Repre sentative hall at the state house, in the presence of an immense crowd. At 1 o'clock Governor Bailey and Oovernor-elect Hoch met at the, Cope Jand, and went to the state house to gether, accompanied by Marshall's band and Company A, Kansas National Guard. Kugene F. "Ware presided over the inauguration ceremonies. Marshall's band furnished music. The administration of the oaths of office was performed by Chief Justice W. A. Johnston of the supreme court. The following officers took the oath: Edward W. Hoch, Marion, governor. David J. Hanna, Graham, lieutenant grovernor. Joel R. of state. Burrow, Smith, secretary Thomas T.

A. D. Walker, member board of rail road commissioners. AV. Wheatley, member board of railroad commissioners. J. W. Robinson, member board of railroad commissioners. The only ones on this list who have not taken the similar oixtt of office once before are Governor Hoch,, Judge Clark Smith, and the railroad commis sioners. After the band had played and the Rev. W. C. Evans of the First Meth odist church had offered a prayer, Gov ernor Bailey made short speech, and i 16 'l-, A f 7 "mm Lieutenant Governor David J. Hanna, tfiis was followed by Governor Hoch's Inaugural which was not long. This was followed by the adminis tration of the oaths of office, and t'h firing cf a salute of 17 guns by Bat tery B. Governor Bailey's speech was deliv ered without notes, while Governor Hoch read his. The two governors en tered Representative hall side bv side and occupied seats together on the rostrum. Governor Bailey's speech was in terrupted by frequent and prolonged applause. At first Governor Hoch's i cauuig in ma sptecn am not arouse much enthusiasm.

Hundreds of people were unable to get within 20 feet of the main doors. As each of the state officers arose to take the oath, they were greeted with applause. When T. T. Kelly stepped forward there were shouts and laughter. Everybody seemed to be amused at something, though it was not easy to see what, as Mr. Kelly is rather a pitiful spectacle with his two crutches. There were two ex-governors of the state present: Governor Glick and Governor Morrill. The platform where the speaker of the house sits were occupied by Eu gene F. Ware, who presided, and W. C. Evans of the First Methodist church of Topeka. Mr. Evans' opening prayer was a strong and devout appeal. When battery B. commenced firing the salute, Mr. Ware arose and said: "We will pause for a few minutes un til the military demonstration is com pleted." Then P. I. Bonebrake nudged him and told him not to wait for the 17 guns to be tired. So Mr. Ware said: "Owing to the fact that the gun which is being used in firing the salute is not of modern construction, we will not wait for the whole 17 guns." At the close of the programme, Mr. Ware forgot about the singing of "America." which wa3 to conclude the event. He announced that the audi ence would be dismissed, but changed his decision and called them back. The song was then sung to the aceompani ment of Maishall's band. After this was over, a great many people came to the front of the hall and shook hands with Governor Jtiocn ana ex-Governor Bailey. Governor Hoch arrived in Topeka Sunday morning on an early train. With liim came Mrs. Hoch. They stay ed at the Copt.'md. They attended the services Sunday at the First M. E. chuVch. After the inauguration, they went to the governor's mansion with Mr. and Mrs. Bailey. All the decorations for the big recep tion In the state house this evening are in place. Large quantities of Alabama laurel have been placed in the alcoves on the third and fourth floors, and doz ens of big American flags are draped around the railing, and combined with the laurel, palms, and evergreen. The effect of the decorations is very good indeed. Governor Bailey's Speech. Governor Bailey spoke as follows: "Ladies and Gentlemen: Two years ago, in this beautiful capital city, I took the oath of office of governor of this great state. I was grateful then and I am grateful now for the confi dence of my countrymen and for the distinguished honor that was conferred upon me. "On assuming the duties of this high office, I promised the people of Kansas I would give to it the best purposes and best efforts of my life. Today I bring back that commission and turn it over to my successor with the abso lute consciousness in my own heart that I have kept the pledge. To say that no mistakes have been made by me would be setting up a standard of infallibility to which I lay no claim, but if they have been made, they were mistakes, not crimes. Much of my offi cial duty has been a pleasure for me to perform; yet during the past two yeais I have been confronted with many i grave responsibilities and have ben called upon to perform many unpleas- ant duties and now my official record as governor has been completed and t leave it with no blush upon my cheek or apology upon my lips. "I believed when I was inaugurated and I believe now that the first great duty of a governor must be to adminis ter the business interests of the state in a business like manner, to see that Who Began His Second Term Today. the vast sums of money appropriated by the legislature should be used for the purposes intended by the legislature in a manner that would conserve the good name and the best interests of the state. Xo Scandal in Institutions. "I feel that I can without successful contradiction say that all our state In stitutions, educational, eleemosynary, and penal were never in better condi tion than they are at the present time. I do not arrogate the credit for this to rnyself and I today wish to make pub lic acknowledgment to the heads of the rntTor-ari. )..c itliAne a 41 jiioinuwu.u, .w.v. ill J vJBf8t alV M- xv.w 1 1 Edward W. Ilocli, Who Was Inaugurated Governor of the State of Kansas loclay. ter of supreme satisfaction for me to know that up to the close of my ad ministration, no scandal has attached to any of the great institutions of our state and that they have been conduct ed upon a high plane of official and business integrity. This is the record I have tried to make, this is the record of which I am proud. "This ends my official career as gov ernor of Kansas. I now step back into the ranks and take up the duties of citizenship, and I assure all who have been my friends, those who have ex pressed their confidence in me in defeat as well as in victory, that I will so con duct myself as a citizen that you will have no cause to regret that you were numbered among my friends. "And, after all, the welfare of the state and of society does not depend so much upon the so-called leaders and those charged with power, as it does upon the life and character of the in dividual citizen. The character of the individual reflects the character of the nation, honesty in public and rrivate life is more potential for the future welfane of this country than the success of any party, any creed, or any man. Thankful to Topeka. "To the people of Topeka, those rep resenting her social and business life, I take this occasion to thank you for the universal courtesy and considera tion you have shown to me and mine. The evidence of warm personal friend ship so generously bestowed will be cherished with the pleasant memories of my life. "Governor Hoch, you have been hon ored by your party and your state, and you are about to assume the auties of the great office of governor. In every honest effort of yours to build for the good name and welfare of Kansas, you are entitled to the support and encour agement of every loyal citizen and I assure you, sir, that no citizen of the commonwealth will applaud with loud er acclaim your every triumph for good government than he who today trans fers to your shoulders the mantle of power. "It is now my duty and my pleasure to introduce to you Governor-elect Honorabel E. W. Hoch." Mr. Hoch's Speech. Mr. Hoch spoke as follows: "Mr. Chairman and Fellow Citizens: Love of country and pride of state are twin sentiments born of a roval parentage, whose family name is Pa triotism. He who does not cherish these sentiments does not belong to this fine family, and is -'fit for trea sons, stratagems and spoils. Happily to the Kansan state pride is an easy virtue. View the state from any angle and the result is pleasing. Its ro mantic history, its limitless resources, its matchless landscapes, its exhila rating climate, its magnificent achieve ments, all stimulate state pride and find ready response in the glowing hearts of its enthusiastic people. Tne Giver of all Good never dowered a land with a richer heritage than that which He has lavished upon the Sun flower state, and the omnipotent Art ist never painted fairer skies than those which arch these pretty and prolific prairies. "The history of the state reads like a romance. Its original limits ex tended far into the Rockies. Pike's Peak was its rostrum. It was mapped in those days as part of the Great American Desert, fit only for the hab itation of wild beasts and wilder men. Coronado traversed its treeless plains in search of a fabulous field of gold but found it not, though it was here. "In its territorial days Kansas was the initial battleground of the conflict ing ideas of government which clashed at Sumter and climaxed at Appomatox. Its sturdy pioneers 'Crossed the prairies, as of old ouw fathers crossed the sea. To make the West, as they the East, the homestead of the free.' "It was christened at the altar of self-sacrifice and baptized in the blood of patriotism. It furnished more sol diers to the union cause in the dark dovs of the sixties than anv other state in proportion to population, and the courage of its soldiers was attested by the relative fatality which exceeded that of any other state, but it has also illustrated the truth that 'Peace has her victories no less renowned than war.' The material growth of the state has been marvelous, unequaled. perhaps, in the history of states. Her agricultural products have eclipsed all competitors, while her salt, and zinc, and gas, and oil, and other sub terranean wealth distance all rivals. Kansas Meat In Sandwich. "Kansas is not a western state. Let us disabuse our own minds of this prevalent fallacy. Draw a line south and north, and east and west, across "the United States and the lines will converge in the heart of Kansas. Kansas is the central state. It is the rich, juicy meat in the national sand wich. "But, the real greatness of a state is not measured by its territorial ex tent, not by its material resources, but by its code of laws and by the character of its people. Nowhere has advancing civilization -crystalized In better government, or flowered in a higher citizenship. Illiteracy has found its lowest percentage here, and crime its most meager statistics. Clark A. Smith, the New Justice of Supreme Court. "To be called by the confidence of such a people to the executive chair in such a state is an honor any citizen might well covet, but, my fellow citi zens, great honors come freighted with great responsibilities. From the best of all books I learn the universal truth that much is rightfully expected of those to whom much is given. The measure of responsibility is the meas ure of opportunity, and the contem plation of this great truth robs this occasion of all incentive to self-glorification and clothes it with supreme solemnity. In hours like this it is al ways well to remember Pope's tre mendous truth, 'Honor and shame from no condi tions rise; "Act well thy part there all the honor lies.' Compliments Mr. Bailey. "The distinguished gentlemen who have preceded me in this office have enriched the state with a record of personal and official conduct creditable alike to themselves and to the com monwealth, and vhich is at once an example and inspiration to me. To my immediate predecessor, Governor Bailey, I am under obligations for personal courtesies, and I shall follow him and his accomplished wife to their home with my very best wishes for their future happiness, a senti ment I am sure which is shared by all the people of the state. "Profoundly grateful to the people of this great commonwealth for trie distinguished honor they have con ferred upon me. I enter upon the dis charge of the great and grave duties of this exalted office painfully con scious of my own inadequacy to the task before me, unaided in its per formance. But, relying upon the gen erous forbearance and helpfulness of the people of this state with whom I have lived and labored for thirty odd years, and depending, particularly, for wisdom and guidance upon Him who governs governors and rules in all the affairs of men, I am ready, Mr. Chief Justice, to take the oath of of fice as governor of the state of Kan sas."

'Professional Lobbying Should Be Mad a Crime." Jefferson City, Mo., Jan. 9. Every train arriving today added to the al ready larg-e crowds of people who had assembled from various parts to at the inaugural of Joseph W. Folk as governor of Missouri. Previous to the inaugural ceremonies Mr. and Mrs. Folk were guests of honor at a break fast given at the gubernatorial man sion by outgoing Governor Dockery. Mr. and Mrs. William Jennings Bryan and thirty other guests, arnoiig them prominent Democrats and their wires, were present. Promptly at noon Joseph W. Folk was inaugurated governor of Missouri. The ceremonies took place in the house of representatives which had been appropriately decorated. Gov ernor Folk in his inaugural address said in part: Partisanship is a good thing some times, but patriotism is a better thing all the time. Partisanship is well enough when it does not conflict with patriotism; but patriotism is a higher virtue than partisanship. Some of you are Democrats, some are Repub licans, ail are JVUssounans. In the discharge of official duties let us be Misourians before we are anything else. Do not forget that you will be aiding the party you may belong to most by gi ng the public the highest service. TCa can not help your party by injuring the public. One may be in private nte a Democrat or Repub lican but when he steps into public of fice he becomes a public servant a servant of all ti poeple. "When you come before the people to give a.n account of your stewardship the acc or must be for public service and not r party work. Tour party nominateu you, the people elected you and sent you here to serve the public, and by that service you will reflect credit or discredit on your party. You are here as legislators, not as politic ians and the welfare of the state should ever be your first consideration. If the public weal should conflict with i .i- rVT j v. u.ii.u.i.iy.., the public good should prevail.

"1 believe it is the province of the governor of the state to keep the pub lic peace by settling disputes between employers and employes, and he should make it his business as far as possible to do so, if the contest in volves the public interests in any way, The governor spoke of the necessity for good roads, and said the state' hould not license gambling in any form, whether it be a lottery or pool selling on horse races. "And the pernicious effect on pub lic morals is not lessened by requiring a fence to be put around the place where the racing is carried on. There is no magic in a license to change moral wrong Into innocence. At the conclusion of Governor Folk's address, the oath of office was administered to Lieutenant Governor McKinley. William J. Bryan, who came with his wife today to attend the inaugura tion of Governor Folk addressedJhe legislature on invitation of the Repub lican house. The speaker who was heartily received congratulated the peo ple on the election of Mr. Folk, because he said, it was tne reward ior aury wen performed. Corporation influences, the speaker said, often controlled officials and to stop this he favored municipal ownership of public institutions. He ad vocated the establishment of state fire and state life insurance departments to furnish insurance to the people at cost. "I do not think our banks are safe," said Mr. Bryan. "They are so arranged that they make money in good times and throw the risk on the depositor io bad times." He then made reference to the affair of Mrs. Chadwick. Mr. Bryan commended President Roosevelt for recommending legislature to have campaign contributions print ed. He also commended the president for his recommendation of legislation enlarging the powers of the interstate commerce commission. "Railroads control much legislation." said Mr. Bryan, "and if President Roosevelt is in earnest about curbing their power, he will lead a strenuous life during the next four years."

HOCH SEES LELAND. His Greeting Was Brief and They Shook Hands. Governor Hoch, Mrs. Hoch and the other 'members of the Hoch family dined late this morning. It was 9:30 when they came out of the Copeland dining room. Almost the first person that Gov ernor Hoch met as he walked out was Cyrus Leland. "Hello, Cy," said Hoch. "Hello, governor; how are you?" replied Mr. Leland, as they shook hands. "First rate," replied Mr. Hoch. That ended the interview. It was Sunday morning when Gov ernor Hoch arrived in Topeka. On the train with him came a large dele gation of Marion people. Mr. Hoch's two daughters, Edna and Anna, his son Wallis, his niece, Miss Lolah Hoch, i Mrs. Hoch's sister, Mrs. L. F. Keller, and her father, Mr. Dickson, were the immediate relatives who came with the party. Besides there was Dan Lindsay, Governor Hoch's foreman on the Marion Record for the past thirty years, and therefore almost a member of the Hoch family. Some of the peo ple who came down with the party were the following: W. E. Taylor, Chas. Bryan, Ralph Bryan, Ralph Powers, Willard Kellar, Greeley Kyle, Benj. Bell, Ben Sanders, Albert Hold er, Clarence Waring, Carol Sheldon, and Frank Firebaugh. Governor Hoch was pounced upon by the hungry mob of lobby politicians as soon as he came out from break- fast.

Blood Found in 8pIotches Upoa His Clothing. There Is Little Chance for Vic tiui's Kecorery A fiendish and brutal holdup attack, with features unheard of in Topeka's police court annals, was made on W. F. Kunz, a North Topeka druggist, in the alley at the rear of Jonathan Thomas' lumber yard at Sixth and Van Buren streets, on Sunday night. as he was on his way to his home. He is at Christ hospital today, suffer ing from a fracture of the skull, two severe scalp injuries, and three ugly contusions on his face. His recoverv is questionable. Forty dollars, which it was known he had when he left his store, and his watch were gone when he was found. Robbery was therefore, without ques tion, the motive. The holdup took place probably about midnight. Kunz runs a drug store at 612 North Kansas avenue. About half past 11 he was accustomed to close and take the last car home. He lives at 620 Van Buren street .ad joining the Thomas lumber yard. He usually got off the car at Sixth and Kansas avenue and walked west on Sixth street. After being attacked he was dragged into the horse stable in the lumber yard, butchered up mercrlessly, and thrown on a bench in a little feed rnnm. Trio Q c,., t irt i thought that he "was dead or would succumb to his fearful wounds before morning. It was a little before 7 o'clock th's morning when he was found by Ed Cooper, a driver for Jonathan Thomas, as he went into the stable to feed the horses, in some way Kunz had crawl ed off the benches in the little fed room and succeeded in getting into the aisle between two stalls. Cooper went into the barn and stum bled across the injured man. He got a lantern and with Harry Jones, another driven, made an investigation. "We found Kunz lying on the floor, his face all covered with blood," said Cooper. "Jones and I didn't make anv investi- gation at all, but at once called the pvm.c aim Liiey uauie una koi mm. tr.iW?& -ya k3?

I noticed then that his face was I all covered with blood I started out af- ter a lantern and met the officers at the door. seven hours after the brutal attack. H? was removed to the hospital ward of the police station right after he was found and Dr. C. H. Van Horn called. The latter made an examination and upon finding the fracture of the skull right behind the right ear, he ordered his removal to Christ hospital. Dr. s. G. Stewart, Mr. Kunz's family physi cian was also called. He said that Mr. Kunz's condition Is very serious. "I cannot tell of course," said Dr.Stew ai t, "until we make a further exami nation. I won't by any means say now that it is fatal." Dr. Van Horn thought that Kunz stood a good chance of re covery. "But that, you know, is pre mature," he concluded. "The exposure to the cold was bad for him." The injuries consist of the fracture behind the ear, a deep cut into the base of the skull, two bad contusions on the forehead, and a cut on the left cheek. The left eye is also injured and is swollen shut. The police simply theorize concerning the matter. No blood marks at all can be seen in the alley or in the aisles of the barn, save where Kunz was found. Chief Stahl believes that he was sand bagged outside, without drawing blood, and then dragged into the barn, and beaten up until his assailants thought him dead. A big squad of policemen searched the barn and alley thoroughly this morning for the weapons with which the attack was made. Nothing was touna, The little feed room is literally smeared with blood. The tops of two benches are dyed a deep red, and crusted over with frozen blood. Hand marks deck the walls at numerous places. Blood marks are on the door of the room, and on the two wnlis of the stall adjoining the aisle. There is not a sign of a struggle any where. The alley gate to the lumber yard was broken open. This indicates plainly that Kunz was brought into the barn from Van Buren street and not from Sixth street. The police are looking for a man who formerly worked in the Thomas lum ber yard. They would not give out his name. He was seen about the place this morning after Kunz had been found. He was acting very nervous and was apparently frightened. Chief Stahl said that he planned to find him and put him through a sweating pro cess. Mrs. Kunz was seen at her home at 6T0 Van Buren street. She saM: "I fre quentlv warned my husband not to p;iss that allev, but to come up the street. He never comes home until midnight, after he closes his store.

THE TOPEKA STATE JOUTCSTAi; MONDAY EVENING. JANUARY 9, 1905., KAHSASJIEWS. Kansas CIt j, Ks., lias Another Large le?ator Fire. Sp! Leaf Warehouse, 300,000 Bushels Grain Burned. THE WHEAT WORTH $1 Is Known That th Total Loss Will Exceed 1-2 Million. Flames Spread to Small Houses Near the Elevator. Kansas City, Kan., Jan. 9. The 1 million bushel Maple Leaf grain eleva tor on the Missouri river bank at the foot of "Washington avenue, in this city,' was destroyed by fire Saturday night. In the bins of the elevator were 300, 000 bushels of wheat. The value of the wheat was JSOO.OOO. The value of the elevator was about 4 million dollars. The total loss is expected to exceed A million dollars. The flre was discovered at 10:10 o'clock by John Calvert, the night watchman. Calvert said he believed the blaze was started by friction from st belt. Calvert was the only man auth orized to go into the building after 5 o'clock in the afternoon. C. F. Peterson, superintendent of the elevator, said that the building had Just been wired for electric power. He paid the elevator was owned by the Chicago Great Western railway and operated by it for the shippers who lised that road. Six grain firms of Kansas City used the elevator. It was operated up to Saturday night. Satur day five cars of grain were put in and three cars shipped out. The big new holder of the "Wyandotte Gas com pan v, containing 375,000 cubic feet of artificial gas, is located a half block northeast of the elevator. For some time it was feared that the in tense heat of the fire would cause an explosion. Fortunately the wind car ried the flames to the westward and danger from the gas tank was averted. M. H. McNeal, manager of the eleva tor, said last night that he could not estimate the loss. "Both the building- and contents were Insured," Mr. McNeal said. "While I can't say now how much insurance was carried, I believe It will cover the loss. The elevator was a frame and corru gated iron structure and was construct ed by the railway company in 1897." At 11:15 o'clock the wind shifted to the south and the fire threatened te frame factory of the Kansas City Eox and Basket company at the foot of ."Washington- avenue.

CAPTAINS OF INDUSTRY Spends on Average Two Months Looking After Eleren. The Contract of Yost Shows About $3,500 for Each Year. Cleveland, Jan. 9. Football coaches have become captains of industry dur ing the last few years, according to a number of contracts promulgated by different colleges of late. A man who knows how to tangle up a rival team with a number of intricate plays has found that it pays better to be the author of "x-y-z-4-11-44" than to have a seat in America's congress. In proportion to the time he spends at his work a modem football coach draws from three to four times the salary of a United States senator and about half as much as the president of the coun try. A football coach spends on tho aver age two months In looking after an eleven. Fo rthis he paid all the way from $1,500 to $5,000 and expenses. The coach usually gets his meals at the training table, and his railroad fares and other incidental expenses are paid out of the athletic treasury. It is this phase of highly paid profes sional coaches which have begun to worry the university authorities, and the question has been raised where Is It all going to end? Coaching has be come more and more expensive as the sport has increased in popularity and rivalry, and the competition has be come so keen for good men that a successful football general is now able to "write his own contract." While the plodding professors of po litical economy, psychology, history, Greek, Latin and other studies usually draw from $2,000 to $7,000 for nine months' work at the larger universities, the football coaches at Michigan.North western, Chicago, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Harvard, Tale, Princeton and other schools sally gayly forth in the fall and at the end of two months draw as much coin of the realm as a 'head pro fessor of this or that chair. The published contract with F. H. Tost, who will look after the welfare of the University of Michigan pigskin ar tists, drew attention to the golden era of professional football. Tost a few days ago closed a contract for five years at a salary of $3,500 a year. This will mean about $1,750 a month, $430 a week and about $67 a day, counting that he will look after the team 52 working days. Before the announcement from Ann Arbor came the report that Harvard had offered "Billy" Reid, famous as a former star on the crimson team, $5,000 a year for five years, which means that last season he was given back to Bal he will be paid about $100 a day for 1 tlmore. The fans of Portland were trying to get a team together which so much pleased with his work, how will wipe Tale off the map in just 70 J ever, that they subscribed $1,200 and minutes of actual play. He will train the team for other games, but It was the string of Tale victories which caused the offer to be made. Going down the line, there are other coaches just as well paid as Tost and Reid. Nothing has been given out how much Tale pays its graduate coaches, but it has been common report for years that prominent players have been called to New Haven a week before pome big game ana presentea with $1,000 each for six days' hustling on the gridiron. In the west the University of Minne sota is supposed to pay Coach Williams even more than Tost is to get for the next five years. At Madison there has been talk of offering Phil King $4,000 a year if he will return to the Badger stronghold. The year in the majority of cases means "two months." At Northwestern, Coach McCornack drew $3,000 for eight weeks' work, and will get $3,500 next year. At the University of Chicago, Coach A. A. Stagg is in re ceipt of something like $4,000, but his work carries him through the entire year, and he is consiaerea to De tne hardest-working coach in the country, The University of Illinois, while engag ine professional coaches, paid in the neighborhood of $1,300. When Foster Sanford coached Columbia he was in receipt of $5,000 for each season. Carl Williams, of the University of Pennsyl vania, is popularly supposed to have the same income from his football coaching. Innumerable smaller colleges have pay rolls for coaches of from $500 to $3,000. It has been estimated that the total amount of money paid out for football coaching in two months would equal the yearly expenses of the big gest university in the land. FJSiLHG V&SSJZZ. AMONG TJi ICE ENGLISH LAD'S CAMPAIGN. The Cook Horse Has Been Entered In Many ol the Eastern Stakes. Lexington, Ky.. Jan. 9. William E. Phillips, trainer of the sensational English Lad, while here to give a deposition in a suit for damages filed by a well known firm of horsemen against a railroad company, gave out the information that the great son of Requital had been entered In the Brooklyn.

Castro, a shortstop who played with the Portland, Ore., team In the Pacific Coast league last year, has been se cured by Manager Arthur Irwin for his 1905 Blues.

He played in forty-one games that year and batted .248. He was not a heavy hitter then, making only twenty-three extra bases in those games. He played thirty-three games at second base and accepted .920 per cent of his chances. In 1903 Castro was with the Balti more team, which finished second in the Eastern league race. His batting that year was much Improved over his 1902 form. In 111 games he bat ted .328. He made fifty-eight extra bases and was fourth in the league. In the fielding department he played nine games at the initial sack and did not make an error, while at the half-way station at which sack he played eighty-six games he had an average of .894. After the 1903 season closed he Jumped to Portland, where he played in the infield. In the awarding of players by the National commission bought his release.

The minor base ball league representative hoirt a meeting Sunday to decide as to the best method for presenting their case to the national commission when that body meet today. The president of six organizations were present and it was decided to go in a body with Attorney Howard Griffith to the Grand hotel where the meeting will be held. The proposed new classification of players for drafting Is believed to be the chief point of difference, but the minor league officials expressed confidence that there would be no trouble over that point, notwithstanding the an nounced opposition of the American league. All of the officials who are to par- (ticipate in the meeting excepting President Ban Johnson of the Amer ican league are in the city, and Mr. Johnson is expected to arrive early today. Arndt to Coach Notre Dame. South Bend, Ind., Jan. 9. Harry Arndt, a graduate of the South Bend Greens, has signed a contract to coach the Notre Dame baseball team from February 1 to March 5.

Since leaving South Bend, about a week ago, he has been visiting friends at Columbus, Ohio, -where he played in iU3. BIG LEAGUE IN SESSION. National Commission Will Have Busy Time In Cincinnati. Cincinnati, O., Jan. 9. Three important questions to baseball fans win be thrash ed out by the National baseball commis sion today in it3 winter meeting. The ar rangement of a world's championship ser ies between the pennant winners, of the American ana national leagues, tne j.ick Taylor case and the petition of the minor leagues for an Increase in the drafting price will be the principal topics considered by the memrjers or the com mission. The entire business of the ses sion is exDected to be finished in the af ternoon, indicating that the work of the meeting is already cut and dried. The army of fans will be most interest ed in the arrangements for noat son son games to settle the world's title. Various club presidents have submitted plans for such contests and the commission will make short work of binding the pennant winners to meet under its Jurisdiction in a cnampionsnip series. There may be some hitch over the de tails for the series, as President Johnson of the American league insists that nine games shall be necessary to determine winner 01 tne ciiampionsnip, wmie the JNa- uonai leaguers are m favor of a set 01 seven games to decide the championship. What disposition the commission will make of the minor leagues' petition for ft new class to be comprised of the Ameri can association, the Eastern and the Cal ifornia leagues is not known. The Na tional league has gone on record as favor ing such a scheme and has instructed its representative on the commission. Presi dent Pulliam, to vote for the new class and the increase of the draftine nrice for that class from $750 to $1,500 and also to restrict the big leagues from drafting more than one player from teams in those circuits. DOESN'T LIKE SUGGESTIONS. Coach Booth Says Ten-Yard Rule Would Not Promote Open Play. Lincoln, Neb.. Jan. 9. Walter C. Booth, who has just accepted terms offered by the athletic board of Ne braska university making him foot ball coach for the Cornhuskers for another -year, his sixth successive sea son. Is radically opposed to Walter Camp's proposed rule to increase the distance from five to ten yards to be made in three downs. Booth has writ ten to a friend at Nebraska university giving his views of the ten-yards rule. He says: Mr. Camp makes the suggestion, I believe, that the team be required to advance the ball ten yards in three downs. In my opinion such a rule. without compensating and consistent provisions, would make scoring be tween two teams anywhere near even ly matched almost an impossibility and would reduce the whole game to a matter of kicking the ball and catch ing it. It would be hard for any team to take the ball for ten yards consist ently down the fields against a team anywhere near its equal in defense. while the smaller or weaker teams would have absolutely no chance at all of scoring against the so-called larger teams, except for a fluke. The weak teams have all the difficulty in the world at present making a paltry score, but this suggested rula would destroy all their chances of making any sort or a showing against the larg er college teams. "Then, again, Buch a rule would scarcely be productive of ehd running, which seems to be the goal of all peo ple wno would reform the rules. Heavy mass plays Just off tackle, with a big man carrying the ball, one who can keep his feet well while his fel lows are pushing him, would be the plays developed under such legislation, in my mind. They might allow four, five or six downs to make the ten yards, but three chances are altogeth er too few for teams in the same class." Remarkable Time at Frisco. San Francisco. Jan. 9. Sir Wilfred knocked a Quarter of a second off the California record for three and one-half furlongs today, going the dis tance in 0:414. The day was a bad one for favorites. The judges called for the bookmakers' sheet on the sec ond race, in which Silver Skin, the even money favorite, finished third. Honiton won the Kollansbee high weight handicap, worth $2,820, In a drive, by three-quarters of a length over Martinmas, the choice of the talent. Murphy-Nell Fight Off. San Francisco, Jan. 9. Tommy Murphy will not meet Krankie Neil at San Francisco before the San Fran cisco Athletic club the last of the month. Manager Greggalns of the local club has been confident of ob taining the two boys for this month's show after two futile attempts to se cure an attraction. Murphy has an engagement with Hughey McGovern at Philadelphia January 25, and will not be able to accept the Neil match. Strang Is Picked Up by McGraw. New York, Jan. 9. Sammy Strang, who covered third base for the Brook lyn National league team for the past two seasons and was released by Man ager Hanlon last October, has been signed by Manager McGraw to play with the Giants next year. Strang played two seasons with the Giants before he was released to the Brook lyn s. Reds to Play American Leagners. Cincinnati, Jan. 9. Manager Ban croft of the Cincinnati National league baseball club has arranged spring games with the Detroit, New York, Boston and Cleveland teams of the American league, dates being an nounced today as follows: At Jack sonville, with Detroit. March 17, 18, 19- with New York, March 28, 29, 30: with Boston, March 31, April 1, 2, and at Cincinnati, with Cleveland, April 10, 11, 12, and with Boston, April 13. Hat Store for Joe Corbett. San Francisco, Jan. 9. It is a cinch that Joe Corbett will not play in the east next season. Corbett is about to embark in the hat business In this cilv. This will not keep him, how ever, from playing ball in San Fran cisco, but it does put a quietus on his playing in the east. Corbett dislikes Hanlon of Brooklyn, and it Is mainly this feeling which prevents him from playing in the east. Hanlon insists if he doesn't play with Brooklyn he shall plaj with no other club, hence Joe will stay here. Brain May Lead the Cardinals. St. Louis, Jan. 9. Dave Brain, the Cardinals' third baseman, and the player who will undoubtedly be cap tain of the Cardinals next season, spent yesterday in the city. He is on his way to Hot Springs, and will re main in the. citv until Monday. Brain is the picture of health and I him, and is as pleased as a child with a new toy with the way his weak knee is eettine- alonar. Dave's injured member Is as strong as ever. But Dave is leaving no stone unturned to get in the best of condi tion. He wants to help the Cardinals win a pennant, and as he will prob ably lead the team next year, it makes his desire of being in good condition much stronger.

It is claimed, was strictly observed, but it was agreed with the Kl Paso and Southwestern that on coal shipments for industries along their lines the Santa Fe would accept $2.90 up to Deming. Formerly they accept ed $3.45. It appears that the El Paso and Southwestern was building toward El Paso. The Santa Fe naturally did not wish to have another line enter that center. As part consideration for the abandonment of construction, the Santa Fe agreed to charge that com pany less on coal delivered at Deming than it had been charging on coal de livered at El Paso. "This rate was open to all Industries," declared Mr. Ripley, "and consequently there was no discrimination. As a mat ter, of fact, three-fourths of the coal for this district came from points in j New Mexico and not from Colorado. There was nothing in the agreement which prevented the smelters from buying their coal from any company, and therefore there was no favoritism shown the Colorado Fuel and Iron company." NEW FAST TRAINS. Santa Fe to Establish New Service K. C. to Oklahoma. The Chanute Tribune says: A rumor is being industriously cir culated that the Santa Fe railroad con templates the inausuration of fast train service through Chanute between Kansas City and Oklahoma City: The service is intended to cater to the through traffic and to compete with the Katy's fast train, the "Katydid," which has proven such a paying ven ture since it was established little more than a month ago. The Santa Fe was the first railroad company to recognize the importance of the oil field, and make an effort to cater to its trade. The Bartlesville plug and the Emporia plug for Cha nute, and numerous other trains from different points are some of the new ones put on during the past year. W. J. Black of Topeka, the general pas senger agent, has made several trips to Chanute for the express purpose of acquainting himself with the exact condition of affairs and it is through his recommendations that the ira- f movements have been made. This iberal policy makes it reasonable to believe that the Santa Fe will install its fast trains at an early day, and that another important recognition of For a Disease On every bottle of Liquozone we of fer $1,000 for a disease germ that it cannot kill. We do this to assure you that Liquozone does kill germs. And it is the only way known to kill germs in the body without killing the tissues, too. Any drug that kills germs Is a poison, and it cannot be taken In ternally. Medicine is almost helpless In any germ disease. It is this fact which gives Liquozone Its worth to hu manity; a worth so great that, after testing the product for two years, through physicians and hospitals, we paid $100,000 for the American rights. And we have spent over one million dollars, in one year, to buy the first bottle and give it free to each sick one who would try it. Acts Like Oxygen. Liquozone is not made by compound ing drugs, nor is there any alcohol In it. Its virtues are derived solely from gas largely oxygen gas -by a process requiring immense apparatus, and 14 days' time. This process has, for more than 20 years, been the constant sub ject of scientific and chemical research. The result Is a liquid that does what oxygen does. It is a nerve food and blood food the most helpful thing in the world to you. Its effects are ex hilarating, vitalizing, purifying. Yet it Is an absolutely certain germicide. Th reason is that germs are vegetables: and Liquozone like an excess of oxy gen la deadly to vegetal matter. Lady Cook, better known to Americans as Tennessee Claflin, has returned to the United States. It Is Lady Cook's Intention to take up a permanent resi dence in this country, as she has tired of England. the increased commercial activity of the Kansas and Territory oil fields will thus be made. Another rumor has it that the San ta Fe is rushing the extension of its line to Fort Smith, and that within four months time that point will be the southern terminal of the fast trains. Nothing has been given out by the local officials of the Southern Kansas division concerning the likelihood of the new service being established, but the persistency of the rumor and the detail which accompanies it does much to make it seem plausible. The Santa Fe company has expended much mon ey in Improving the Southern Kansas division. New steel has been laid all the way from Kansas City to the Ter ritory, and the rock crushers at Hill Top, Garnett and Cherryvale have been kept busy grinding out Daiiasi for laying on the grade. All these pre parations point to one thing that the Santa Fe expects the Southern Kan sas division to become an important branch of its great system, and that it is putting it in readiness for handl ing a large axnount of traffic BECOMING LAND IIOLDEKS. Santa Fe is Helping Employes in Texas Become Property Owners. The Gulf, Colorado Santa Fe be lieves in settling Texas with good, substantial Texas citizens and propos es assisting its employes to buy Texas lands, Texas farms and help in the up building of the state while at the same time sharing in the prospects of the country. The plan as proposed is new and has many advantages to commend it to the working men. It offers them an opportunity to buy good farm lands at very reasonable and easy terms that they could not enjoy if left to themselves. The company proposes helping the employes to select good farms and will honor orders on their wages for monthly payments. Many of the Santa Fe employes own their own homes and some of them own farms, but the majority of rail road men are not as thrifty as they might be. Printed circulars addressed to the employes, and explaining in detail the plan, will be sent out from the vice president's office in a day or two. WORK AT TRUXTOX CANYON. Santa Fe Has Given Contract for Re location of line to Lantry-Sharp- A contract has been let to the Lantry-Sharp Contracting company, Kansas City, Mo., for the work neces sary to change the location of the Santa Fe line through Truxton Can yon, Ariz. The total contract for grading and masonry will amount to about $200,000. The change is made to insure immunity from floods. Kane Goes to California. Mr. F. W. Kane, train dispatcher for the Santa Fe, and Mrs. Kane, to gether with Mr. C. Monical of Super intendent McLellan's office and Mrs. Monical left Saturday evening for California. They will stop enroute at Alburquerque, Grand Canyon and San Diego. The party will spend some time at the Catalina islands and then returning, will divide. Mr. and Mrs. Monical will travel northwards through Oregon and Washington and return home via Ogden, Utah. Mr. and Mrs. Kane will return to EI Paso and then tour points in old Mexico. Germ That JLiquozone Can't Kill. Liquozone goes into the stomach. In to the bowels and into the blood, to go wherever the blood goes. No germ can escape it and none can resist It. The results are inevitable, for a germ disease must end when the germs are killed. Then Liquozone, acting as a wonderful tonic, quickly restores a con dition of perfect health. Diseases which have resisted medicine for years yield at once to Liquozone, and It cures dis eases which medicine never cures. Half the people you meet wherever you are can tell you of cures that were made by it. Germ Diseases These are the known germ diseases. All that medicine can do for these trou bles is to help Nature overcome the germs, and such results are indirect and uncertain. Liquozone attacks the germs, wherever they are. And when the germs which cause a disease are destroyed, the disease must end, and forever. That is inevitable.

Curtis Hancock, a member of the Texas legislature from Dallas, has re turned to the managers of seven of the large railroads of Texas annual passes that he received in his new year mail. Mr. Hancock sent a sting ing letter with each pass, in which he says "I have never taken the position that a legislator is dishonest when he accepts a free pass, but I do maintain that it is much easier for him to be honest without them. "As you well know, the last two Democratic conventions denounced free passes as an evil. This is a law of my party that I shall obey and will not wait for legislative action upon the subject to compel me to obey. My belief is that this legislature will pass an anti-free pass law. They why do not your roads anticipate this action and revoke free passes? "Are you afraid that the legislature will not treat you fair? I believe they will treat you as you deserve and that is all you could expect. Let us stop the pass evil and give every man a 'square deal' in the twenty-ninth leg islature." WILL USE SAME TRACK. Ten.porary Arrangements by Santa Fe and Midland. Tulsa, I. T., Jan. 9. It has been announced that the Santa Fe road has made track arrangements where by it will enter the city over the Mid land Valley road, both of which are now building north of Tulsa. The Santa Fe will use about two miles of the Midland Valley track, and will have the use of the terminal facilities until a future date. The Midland Valley is building a northwest exten sion into Pawhuska from Tulsa and the Santa Fe is building south from Owasso into Tulsa. Strikers Change Their Base. Muskogee, I. T., Jan. 9. The strike of telegraph operators on the Mis souri, Kansas Texas railroad has been practically abandoned so far as active operations in Indian territory are concerned. A bulletin has been issued to the telegraphers stating that the fight will be given up locally, but that an or ganized effort is to be made at head quarters in St- Louis to accomplish something. The strike has been on about six months and the railroad has refused to make any concessions. A Novice Cannot Judge. Says the Locomotive and Railway Engineering, speaking of the stranger who takes a ride with the engineer: "A novice to the locomotive cab is not a fit judge of the real difficulties encountered by the men in charge of the engine especially at night, nor is he in a position to judge of the mem tal control which trained men have over every detail by which their work is regulated. What to a novice seems a series of exciting episodes, is to the trained man events of regularly controlled matter of fact duties. A trip which a stranger finds full of ter rors is to the enginemen common place experience.

Hutchinson Is Young. Glenn W. Hutchinson, whose ap pointment as chief of the passenger traffic department of the Frisco rail road became effective last week, Is the youngest man occupying this position with a road of similar importance in the country. Mr. Hutchinson began with the Fris co as an office boy in the auditor's of fice fifteen years ago. He was then only a little more than 14 years old. He picked up the run of office work very rapidly ana was soon made cash ier by Auditor Douglass. From the position of cashier, he was promoted to the place of a rate clerk and later was made chief rate clerk. His appointment to the position of chief clerk or the passengsr traffic ae partment places him in the most im portant position in the passenger de partment of the big system outside of General Passenger Agent Hilton and his assistant. Mr. Hutchinson lives in Webster Grove, Mo. Vlnlta Northwestern. Vlnita, I. T- Jan. 9. F. A- McClel lan, promoter of the Vinita North western railroad. has arrived here with a full force of purveyors and com menced the work of surveying the railroad from Vinita by way of Timber Hill and Centralia to Coffeyville, Kas. The survey will start from the coal Timber Hill coal banks, and the new road is expected to be in operation from Vinita to the coal banks by July 1, 1905. It has been decided that the road will go to Coffeyville, Kas., and as ac tual work has now. been commenced it is announced that the construction work will be pushed rapidly until the new road is completed. This line passes through the richest part of the Indian Territory. Delano to Leave United States. President Harris announced yester day that because of the retirement of F. A. Delano from the general man agership of the Burlington system, the duties of general manager will be as sumed for an indefinite time by Daniel Willard, second vice president, in charge of operation. Mr. Delano plans to go to the West Indies or Mex ico. F. E. Ward, general manager of the Great Northern, says there is no truth in the report that he is to be come general manager of the Bur lington. Gould Line Plans Wage Cuts. The Missouri Pacific railroad has announced that it will make a general reduction in the wages of train con ductors. The conductors have not yet agreed to accept the proposed cut There is a good deal of friction over the matter. The other railway unions are upholding the conductors, as it is generally believed that the wages of other employes will be cut if the con ductors accept lower wages. Hunter Critically Unit Fred Hunter, who was injured a few days ago while loading bridge timber for the Rock Island, is said to be in a very critical condition at his home on East First street, at Wichita. Mr. Hunter was carrying some heavy timber up a steep Incline when he lost his footing and fell face downward to the ground, a distance of over eight feet Leases "Katy" Rigjit of Waw. Muskogee, I. T., Jan. 9. One of the largest oil land leases made in Indian Territory is that of the M-, K. T. railway to J. B. Showalter. who has leased the entire right-of-way of the company in the territory. The first well will be drilled in Muskogee and others will be sunk at various points along the line. Another Change on the Alton. W. E. Meyers,- for the last fifteen years superintendent of dining cars ana luncn rooms on mc unLagu Alton railroad, has resigned that posi tion to ero into private business as soon as his successor on the Alton is ap pointed. CARRIED OUT A LITTLE GIRL. The Attempt of a Child's. Assailant Failed at Strong City. Strong City, Kas., Jan. 9. A mys terious case of attempted assault oc curred in this city Saturday night about 11 o'clock. Rosa Shipman, the granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Crura, 7 years old, was taken from her bed while asleep and carried to the southwest corner of the orchard, where she was quickly found by her parents before the ilend could ac complish his object. When the child was found her nlsrht clothes were torn to tatters and her body badly bruised; her mouth was also lacerated by the fellow's efforts to prevent her from crying out after she woke up. The child described her assailant as a white man with a moustache. The mysterious part of the affair is that Mr- and Mrs. Crum ana aaugnier wprp readme in an adjoining room at the time the fiend was removing the window screen and sash by which he gained an entrance to the child's room. Their attention was attracted by the wind flapping the window cur tain, and upon investigating the cause of the noise they discovered the open window and the absence of the child. Seizing a lantern Mr. Crum, fol'owed by his wife and daughter, began a search of the premises and were finally attracted to the little vic tim by her weak cries. A thorough search of that part of town was made by officers and a nastily organized nnsRe until daylight, but no trace of the fiend could be found. NELLIE CUMMIXGS IS DEAD. Had Been leading Lady With McCul- lough and With Barrett. San Francisco, Jan. 9. Nellie Cum- rmngs, an oltt-ume actress oi note, died here today in poor circum stances of asthma. Miss Camrainga was leading lady for John McCullough and Lawrence Bar rett at the old California theater in this city, during the palmy days of the drama. After that time she drift ed east, playing with many companies. notably those or tticnara jyiansneia, Frederick Warde and Edna Wallace Hopper. She had been playing brief encasements of late until her health broke down. Robbed a Hardware Store. Leavenworth. Kan., Jan. 9. Burglars robbed the T. T. Reyburn hardware store at Fifth and Cheokeo streets of about $200 worth of propertv shortly before daylight An entrance to the store was gained by removing a window glass and then open ing a side door. Several fine automatic g-uns and revolvers were taken. One of the rifles was loaded by a burglar from ag ammunition racli. PERSIAN TALES. The Ways ol a Kins Are Winning Ways. THE KING AND THE ROBBER. The King paced to and fro in his cabinet with a smile twinkling around the corners of his mouth, and word went forth throughout the palace that he was in good nature and that no body would be made a head shorter that day. When the ruler of earth had paced for half an hour he picked up a golden footstool and flung it at the head of his private secretary In play ful mood and called out: "What, ho, you son of a gun, but pass the word to Finnegan to get him self into my Royal presence without unnecessary delay. There's a hen on." Three minutes later Finnegan, the Royal Minister of War, made his ap pearance and asked: "What can I do to show1 my devo tion to him who causes the sun to stand still?" "You are my Minister of Wax." "I have that supreme honor. Your Royal Highness." "There's a" feller named El Murad over In Posey county who has given us a good deal of trouble." "It is true, Your Highness. El Murad is a brigand, and for years he has robbed the people or held them to "What ho! You Son of a Gun." ransom and defied your kingly au thority. We have sent troops against him time after time, but he always escapes them or drives them off. I would give much to present you with his head." "It's a thing that has worried you a good deal, isn't it, Finnigan?" "More than I can tell, O Ruler!" "You are now fitting out an expedi tion against him, I believe." "I am about to send one thousand men against him." "At an expense of a bar'I of money." "Yes, we shall have to come down with the dough." "Finnegan," said the King with a laugh as he slapped his Minister on the shoulder in a good natured way, "you are a nice old man to play golf with, but as for strategy you are not In it- During the last fifteen minutes I have thought out a plan to bring El Murad to book a plan that is certain to- succeed where all of yours have failed. It won't cost us a cent nor a man, and is bound to succeed. I ought to have put my wits at work long ago, for while you are a good feller as a man you are an ass as a War Minis ter." "If Your Majesty says so, then I am an ass," humbly replied Finnegan, who remembered that his salary was two years in arrears. "The plan is this. I shall send an envoy to El Murad, inviting him and four of his leaders to my capital for a talk." "But they will naver come, O Ruler, without your lcingly word that they Bhall come to no harm." "But I propose to pledge it, you sap head. I shall even send my signet ring. They will come In fast enough." "And then, Your Majesty?" asked Finnegan. "And then w.e will see about things. Dr. W. S.

An envoy was dispatchsd with the signet, and at the end of ten days El Murad and four of his captains ap peared. They were smilingly receU ed by the King, but while they were be ing banqueted a force of soldiers en tered the hall and made them pris oners. "But this cannot be, O Ruler," pro tested Finnegan. "You have pledged your kingly word that these men shall have safe conduct to and fro." "And I am going to, keep it." "But you have made them prison ers." "Oh, that was by your order. This is where you come in, you know. Give them an hour or so to say their pray ers and then behead them. I am indis posed, you see, and you take advan tage of my indisposition. After their heads are off they can't be glued on again, and that will be the last of the robbers." "But what will the people say, O King?" "They will say that I pledged my kingly word, and that you broke it." "Then they will demand punishment for me." "Cert. A howl will go up from end to end of my kingdom." "And and "And to stop it and to show that I am a King of my word, off will come your head. I shall kill two birds with one stone, you see. Good-bye, old man.

THE KING AND THE BANKER. The king having sent to Mustapha Johnston, the banker, to ask if it was convenient for him to advance forty thousand sequins for thirty days, Mustapha appeared at the palace and said: "I should like to loan thee the money, King, but just now my coffers are empty." "Sayest thou so, Mustapha! If this be true then the rumor that thou wast lending money to my enemies to make war on me ought to be investigated." "Such rumors are base slanders, O Ruler." "But a money-lender who has no money to lend is a fraud and a de ceiver, and should have his license re voked." "I I didn't exactly mean that I had no money, Tour Majesty, but as times are very hard Just now I must have security, you see." "Won't you have my royal word that the loan shall be repaid in thirty days? Do you know that it is treason for a subject to doubt the word of his sov ereign?" "O Ruler, I do not doubt thy word, but perhaps you remember the other little loan? It was to be repaid within thirty days, but six months have elaps ed and and "That will do, Mustapha. I was in hopes to do business with you in a business way, but when you seek to hlmiliate your King by dunning him we must try some other line. It is easily to be seen that you are not in accord with me, and that is treason, and of course treason is punishable by death. You will" "I will send up the cash within fif teen minutes, O Ruler," interrupted Mustapha. "Oh, I see.

Some Glimpses of the Atchison County Poor Farm. Atchison. Kan., Jan. 9. Atchison coun ty has Just completed the construction of a new poorhouse, which in its modern finishings, improvements and furnishings, is as fine as many residences. There is no suggestion in its connection that it is an institution of charity. The building is of pressed brick, two stories high with a basement laundry. There are 36 rooms, including four bath rooms, four separate lavatories and washrooms, living room, library, reception room, sewing room, sit ting rooms. hospital department and apartments for the superintendent's fam ily. It is fitted up with modern conveni ences and comforts, including a steam heating plant and porcelain bath tubs with hot and cold water. The porches, which are on all sides of the building, are buiit of concrete, supported by brick col umns. The building is equipped with a system of septic sewage. A windmill furnishes abundant water, which la handled by air pressure. The poor farm will hereafter be called the county hospital. With the exception of the window1 shades and new bedding, the building was furn'shed throughout by Atchison individ uals. The living room is fitted up wltlj leather couches, round tables, easy chairs, pictures, tuks and mirrors, the gift of Mrs. K. M. Baker, widow of the late F. M.

What is the use of having a railroad official in the cabinet if he is going to act as Mr. Morton is doing and side with the opponents of the transportation com panies' methods of doing business. The recent decision of the federal court in the Iowa liquor case indicates that the express companies will here after do the saloon business of the Hawkeye state, instead of its being done by the drug stores as In Kansas. A bill has been Introduced In the low er branch of congress by Representa tive Mann, by which it is provided that the operations on the Isthmus "shall be conducted by the president and by such persons as he may employ." It does not propose to give him this power in definitely, but he is to exercise It until the expiration of the Fifty-ninth con gress, on the 4th of March, 1907. At that time it Is contemplated that con gress may review what has been dons by the president, and it may then in stitute a new system of superintending1 the construction of the canal or It may continue the direct authority in the presidential hands. Of course. In any event the work cannot be completed by Mr. Roosevelt himself unless he should abandon his pledge not to accept an other term and should be re-elected, and even then there would be at least two years more required before the last cut will be made. In the passage of this bill probably lies the only hope of the completion of this great work, within anything like a reasonable time. In his address at the opening of the New York assembly. Speaker Nixon called attention to the advisability of amending the laws relating to newspa per libel, on the lines of the legislation which failed in the senate last year, af ter passing the assembly. The pro posed law, while it would protect the rights of the public, would also remove the presumption of malice, and would give the newspapers all that Is asked a square deal. The bill as presented last year provided that in case of the publication of an erroneous news item publishers would be given relief from the presumption of malice by publish ing a correction in a prominent and conspicuous position in the newspaper. The proposed law does not, in any measure, release publishers in case false statements are made knowingly and maliciously. No self-respecting publisher would ask for a provision of this nature in the law. It is but fair, however, when an error of fact has been made unwittingly and with no malicious intent, that the making of Immediate amends by conspicuous correction should remove the presump tion of malice.

Japanese Are Hampered Work at Fort Arthur. in Som of the Ships Bettered to Be Salrable. PRISONERS COMING. Japan Is Preparing to Keceire Gen. Stoetsel's Men. Cars Soon Will Be Running Into Captured City Again. Toklo, Jan. 9. The work of re moving the mines and other obstruc tions at the entrance to the harbor of Port Arthur and of examining the Russian war vessels Is hampered by the storms and the cold weather. There is every indication, it is re ported, that some of the ships are salvable. The Japanese, who express great admiration for General Fock and other officers for refusing parole and standing by the men of their army. are busily preparing to receive the Russian prisoners from Port Arthur. The first batch of 10,000 are expected to arrive at Moji and Shemonosekt shortly. After disinfection they will be sent to Kure and probably to Mat- suyama. Nagoya, Himeji, Kyoto, etc. The generals will be treated in the best possible manner. It is unlikely that any of the prisoners will be brought to Tokio. The Gazette announces todav that the Russians have delivered five sur vivors of the third Japanese expedi tion to block the entrance to Port Ar thur harbor. In well informed circles It is esti mated that the original garrison of Port Arthur numbered about 38,000 to 40,000 men, including sailors. The killed, those who died of sickness. and the missing are placed at over 10.000. Nagasaki, Jan. 9, noon. One thou sand wounded Russian prisoners of war from Port Arthur have arrived at Dairei hospital. LEAVING FORT ARTHUR. Remnants of Defending Army Pre sents a Sorrowful Spectacle. Headquarters of the Third Japanese Army at Port Arthur, Jan. 6. via Yin kow and Tien Tsin. Five thousand men of the Russian garrison at Port Arthur, were marched from the vil lage of Yahutsui. on the shores of Pigeon bay, for fifteen miles to the railway station at Changiintzu at 3 o'clock and the other detachments followed soon after. Each detachment was accompanied by six loaded trans port carts. The Russians during the night will be taken on special trains of open trucks to Dalny, and there they will Immediately embark for Japan on transports now awaiting in that port. The long procession of the remnants of the gallant Russian garrison was a pathetic spectacle. The first arriv als at Changlingtzu were four drosk ies, drawn by sorry looking horses. They contained the staff officers who had refused to give their parole. All wore their swords, as they were allow ed to do under the terms of the cap itulation compact. A few minutes later the first de tachment arrived. The regimental of ficers marched with their men. their heads bowed and their faces seamed with lines, showing the result of the mental and physical strain they hadhlm th handa of the .,ollce. undergone during the long defense. As the Japanese soldiers crowded about them with evident curiosity the faces of the Russian officers were an interesting study. All appeared to feel their humiliating position keen ly and though some seemed to be re signed to ther situation, others were resentful at being regarded with cur iosity. The men looked to be well fed, but their faces, like those of the officers-;. indicated the awful physical strain they had undergone. The offioers were clean and well clothed, but the men were clothed in dirty looking sheepskin coats, and appeared to be resigned and glad that the end had come. The horses drawing the transport carts were suffering with fatigue though the loads were small. They were tied to the carts and led by or derlies. In the procession were many lean looking pet dogs belonging to the officers. In many cases officers refused to wear their swords, but had them carried behind them by or derlies. The officers saluted the European and American correspond ents with the Japanese army and ap peared to be both pleased and aston ished at seeing the Europeans and Americans there. The prisoners were treated with the greatest respect and kindness, though they were regarded with much natural curiosity. The soldiers were given food, cigarettes and beer and the cor respondent of the Associated Press even saw Japanese soldiers voluntarily carrying the effects of the prisoners when they were overcome by fatigue. The railroad has been repaired and the gauge changed almost to the city of Fort Arthur into which trains will enter In a few days. Telephone and telegraph lines have been completed to the city and al ready Japanese engineers are survey ing the destroyed forts of the eastern fortified ridge. BRIDGE CONTRACT IS LET. Topeka Company Will Put Up Snrdott Structure for $13,900. The contract for the building of the Sardou avenue bridge was let at noon today to the Topeka Bridge com pany, by the board of county com missioners, for $13,984. The board of commissioners re ceived fifteen bids. The last bid open ed was that of the Topeka Bridge compay and it was $5,236 lower than the highest bid and $302 below the next lowest bid. The bids received and the order in which they were opened were as follows: Midland Bridge company, $15,900; Canton Bridge company, $14,880; Leavenworth Bridge company, $14, 4S6; Newcastle Bridge company.

Since the estimate on the Sardou avenue bridge, of $13,000, was made two months ago the price of bridge steel has gone up $1 a ton twice mak ing an advance of $2 per ton. The out of town bidders were much surprised when the Topeka company made such a low bid. STREET CARJOLD UP. Young Man Makes Bold Attempt to Rob Conductor. An attempted street car holdup. that resulted In a cheap sort of melo dramatic farce, occupied the attention of the police for a couple of hours on Sunday night. A young white man. smooth faced and pretty well dressed, about 25 years of age, boarded an asylum car on Sunday night about 8 o'clock. When the car arrived at the end of the line no one was on the car ex cept the motorneer, the conductor and this stranger. The car stopped and the stranger lurched toward the back platform, feigning drunkenness. Just as he passed Conductor J. E. Swanson he grabbed his money register, tore it loose from the strap, jumped down the step, and got away. Swanson and Motorneer J. E. Rath started in hot pursuit. They ran about half a block. On the walk leading up towards the asylum lay an empty barrel. The thief crawled Into this m full sight of his pursuers.

Attorney General Moody Files Brief in Beef Combine Case. Washington. Jan. 9. Attorney Gen eral Moody resumed his argument on behalf of the government before the supreme court of the United States in the case of Swift Co. .versus the United States commonly known as tha Beef Trust case begun last Friday. Mr. Moody said none of the agree ments or acts complained of related to manufacture or production but to commerce -commerce as distinguish ed from manufacture or production. They do not accomplish fusion of property Interests, he said, but are on the contrary simply agreements be tween strangers to each others' busi ness affecting their freedom of action in certain respects, and by that con sideration the case at bar is shown to be devoid of those features from which differences of opinion arose in the Northern Securities case. He also pointed out differences between this and the Knight and Hopkins cases. Thus he said the inquiry is narrowed down to only two questions for the determination of the court. In conclusion Mr. Moody said: Mr. Moody's Argument In conclusion, Mr. Moody said: "These are the main subjects of tha unlawful conspiracy among the defend ants. Others are set forth In the peti tion, the purpose of which Is to make more effective the main conspiracy and render it less easy for the defendants themselves to escape from the perform ance of the unlawful conspiracy which they have formed. I will now consider these subsidiary agreements. "First In the seventh paragraph of tne petition it appears that the defend ants have agreed upon this device: In pursuance of the conspiracy among themselves their agents bid up the price of live stock at certain selected times to an abnormal degree. This naturally induces the shipment from other states of live stock to points where the price is bid up in quantities much larger than under normal conditions. Then, tak ing advantage of this congestion of the markets they refrain from bidding against each other in the purchase of live stock with the result that the pro ducers and owners of the stock are forced to sell at ruinous prices. Thus the unlawful conspiracy to refrain from bidding against each other is made doubly profitable and the great profits which come from the transaction in turn increase the power of the combi nation and tend to fasten npon the peo pie a monopol'. The Conspiracy in this case is ancillary to the conspiracy to refrain from bidding and to the crea tion of the monopoly which this whole case discloses. "Second It is alleged in the eighth paragraph that for the purpose of aid ing in the raising, lowering and fixing ana maintaining of uniform prices for fresh meat, the defendants collusively restricted and curtailed shipments of meats to the various markets through out the country. The word collusively fairly interpreted, means that they cur tailed shipments by agreements with each other. Doubtless such transac tions sometimes may be entirely legi timate. This consideration is recogniz ed in the decree which exempts from its prohibition the curtailing of ship ments made in good faith to prevent the congestion of markets. "Third In paragraph eight, penalties are imposed against each other by de fendants for all deviations from the prices fixed which needs no special comment. "Fourth In paragraph eight, alsoi uniform rules for the giving of credits are agreed upon. This of itself might be harmless; but its purpose is ancil lary to the main conspiracy stated in that paragraph, namely, the suppres sion of all competition among the de fendants. They will not allow them selves even to compete for the term of credit which may be given to their re spective customers. No purchaser may go from one to another of these defend ants and obtain the advantage of a single day's delay in the shipment of his bill. Fifth The same purpose is behind the agreement alleged in the ninth paragraph of the petition, to make and impose uniform charges for cartage. The price of meat is uniform; the terms of credit are uniform; even the rates of cartage are uniform; and all this comes about by the agreement of the parties and is designed in the most effective way to prohibit in the minutest details all possible competition in prices. I have now discussed separately all the agreements and acts of the defend ants which were complained of as un lawful in the petition and enjoined by the decree of the court below. I have endeavored to show, with respect to each of them, that they relate to Inter state commerce and either restrained or monopolized it within the meaning of the law. I should be unwilling. however, to rest the case here. There is a larger view of it to be taken than appears from the allegations in the pe tition considered separately. These defendants are engaged In in terstate commerce. The petition shows a typical case of interstate commerce. If the business which they do exclusive of manufacture, is not interstate com merce, there can be no such thing out side of transportation. They buy their raw material which is gathered togeth er from all the cattle raising states and territories of the union and sent to I A --A A OOOD3 Colored Dress Goods About 30 pieces Novelty, Camel's Hair effects, plain Venetians, Suitingi cloths suitable for spring etc (also 12 or 15 pieces of walstings), mostly 50c goods now 25c yard About 25 pieces $1 Scotch Suitings, 89c Imported Novelties, 75c Camel's Hair Suiting, 50-ln. $1.25 Astrakhans, a fine line for any kind of wear, black and colors choice this lot. 50o yard Good line of 4Z 50-ln. and 54-ln.

After they have transformed that material into the finished product. they sell it throughout the United States. The combination which they have entered into is designed to restrain all their business transactions, exclus ive of manufacture, by the suppression of all competition therein, both in their purchase for their product, and, so far as possible uniform prices for their raw material; and by obtaining such un lawful advantages as tend to create a monopoly in a necessity of life, mey can not be permitted to ingeniously to separate the various steps of their undertaking and so deal with them that they can be regarded as intrastate transactions. The court met and an swered such a device as this in the case of Montague Co.. versus Lowry, 193 U. S. 38. There it was truly claimed that the sales of unset titles in San Francisco by the local dealers were considered by themselves intrastate transactions. The court held that the sale could not be separated from the main purpose of the combination, whicn was to fix and maintain uniform prices for goods which were the subject of Interstate commerce."

SOUTH TOJflSKA. BRIEF BITS OF CI TV NEWS. A Collection of Important Parn graphs for Tour Consideration. The street commissoner's force Is cleaning up the city's streets In antici pation of Governor Hoch's inaugural. A strictly first-class hand laundry Is what the people of Topeka have been wanting and now they have It, in the Commonwealth Hand laundry which is now located in their new location at 601 Topeka avenue. In the new location the Commonwealth will he In a better position to serve you. They will give special attention to family washing, and lace curtain work, and this class of work will receive the same attention that they give to their linen work. A fire owing its origin to soot on a roof was discovered at 603 West Rail road street, Saturday evening at 7:45. The department made the run and ex tinguished the fire without material loss. The house is owned by M. Man son. Rev. H. R. Pinckney, of Mound City, Kan., will preach at the Asbury M. E. chuch at 7:30 this evening. There is more good things for the ta ble at the Peoples' market, 203 Kansas avenue, than at any other market in the city. Give us your order. The special session of the council which was scheduled for this week Wednesday has been postponed. No date has been set yet. A number of the councilmen found that it would be im possible for them to attend. In conse quence of this postponement Chairman Swendson of the committee on streets and walks will call the meeting of his committee for Tuesday, tomorrow ev ening. The Peoples' market. Independent rhone 542, have more good things for the table than any other market in the city. Give us your telephone order. De livery made promptly. Councilman Hughes of the Sixth ward is having estimates prepared for tinting up the walls and ceilings of the offices in the city building. He will take the estimates and submit them for action to the council meeting on January 16. The Municipal league meets here on the 19th and one of the things on the program is an inspection of the city building by the members of the league. With the present con dition of the walls and ceilings this inspection could not result as very gratifying to the city. Since the erec tion of the building nothing has been done to the rooms in the way of tint ing or papering them and as a con sequence the walls have taken on a very begrimed appearance. The coun cil chamber could likewise stand at tention. There is nothing that pleases the ladies half so much as a visit to Col lier's after the theater. This cafe gives special attention to after theater, parties, and it has become the proper thing to do. In addition to the lunch, Mr .Collier has the agency for the cel ebrated Bell Mead Sweets, the most famous of all confections. Registration at the commissioner of elections' office has reached 4 25. The registration has been at a stand still for the last two days. The Kansas State Barber Board has been In session in Topeka today. This is the first session of the year 1905. Ladies down town at the noon hour, will find Collier's cafe a neat and at tractive place to take their lunch. Special attention is given to the noon day lunch, and especially to the lady customers. Work' on the dyke along the Kansas river bank in North Topeka has been delayed because of objections made by property owners. When Fritz Wat son, the contractors, started working on some land at the foot of Jackson street this morning the owner pro tested on the frround that his land had not been condemned and he ordered the teams off the ground. The board of county commissioners will investi gate and determine whether or not the land was condemned. If the land was not condemned it will mean a de lay of the work. If you are a lover of the choicest confections, try a package of the cele brated Bell Mead sweets on sale at the Collier cafe. This choice candy comes in several sized packages, and one trial will convince you that it is the very best candy you have ever eaten. The Scandinavian Independent club will meet at 222 Kansas avenue to night to elect officers. Have you ever realized the many good thinsrs that one can make from "Perfection" flour? There is no arti cle made from flour that better results cannot be received from the use of this flour than from any other. In your next grocery order include a sack. i Smallpox is reported from 624 Tyler street. Along with the line of business methods which obtain at the city phy sician's office the report is faulty au5 fails to state the name of the family. Wrhether It is bread, cakes, pies, pud dings, or whatever it is you will fine a better result in "Perfection" flour than in any other, and this is due to the fact that this flour Is made by the most modern process known to flour makers. Topeka lodge No. 3S Knights of Pythias installed its officers Saturday night at their hall at Seventh street and Kansas avenue. The result is In the flour, and If your bread is not what it should be why riot try a sack of "Perfection." This flour is becoming more popular every day, because it is all that is claimed for it. T. F. Doran will soon erect a hand some summer home on his farm near Vinewood. The streets and walks committee of the council will not convene until the latter part of this week. The streets and walks committee have a number of R-ns franchises in their hands for consideration and will be called upon for a report from the council next Mon day. The committee meeting will be held either Thursday or Friday. Starting today the Common wealth Hand Laundry will be nt their new location, 01 Topeka avenue, where they will be pre pared to serve their customers more promptly than they did at the old stand, now having more than double the room. This laundry which has been in Topeka but a short time has made more advancement than any other laundry ever started in Topeka, and in their new location they will be in better shape to turn out their work. Now they will give special attention to fam ily washing and lace curtain woik, and this work will receive the personal attention that all linen work does. The fire department was called out nt 11 o'clock Sunday morning to 707 Morris avenue. Soot alighting on the roof caused the trouble. The lo.?3 was small. The house is occupied and own ed by J. N. Crooks. At the Municipal league banquet which is to be given by the city to the members attending the convention on the 19th of the month provision wll be made for a number of the representa tives and senators.

Pilot of Ship of State Steps Down. MR. IIOCII IS VERY BUSY Does a Grand llight and Left at Copeland County. Mr. Lupfer lteturns Once Store to Be a Solon. Today the pilot comes down off the bridge of the ship of state and turns over the wheel to a new pilot, who, armed with a chart and sextant, will try to get his bearings and steer the ship on a two-year voyage. The re tiring pilot was a good one, and guid ed the vessel over shoals and reefs. If the new pilot does as well, the pas sengers and crew will have no excuse for abusing him. Of course he will be n bused, as the other was, but you will find that the abuse usually comes from the steerage, where the fare is cheap and the passengers cheaper. The pilot is out; long live the pilot. Governor Hoch was busy this morn ing. It takes him some time to ad Just his full dress clothes for the in augural, and Tom McNeal is too busy with other matters to assist in the dressing room. Down through the lobby of Copeland county Mr. Hoch came this morning. Time was pre cious, and there were many hands to grasp. His excellency did what is known in the barn-floor dance as the "grand right and left," and although some of the shakers almost broke their necks in a wild attempt to grasp his left hand with their right, he got to the door without any casualties. Mr. Hoch is getting on all right. He has the proper spirit and a grand, gleesome pale vest. There is one man in the minority house who has returned to politics after several years of comparative quiet. It is A. H. Lupfer, of Pawnee. The session, as far as he is concerned, will be one of rest and quiet. Fer- Mr. Lupfer Tlien ana Now. haps, when they get- to making a lot of noise he will wake up and shout, "The enemy is upon us." and reach for his guns. Then he will note the strange faces about him and come back a dozen years to the present time. Mr. Lupfer was one of the warmest Populists of the Great State House War, when words flowed like water and furniture was destroyed. Manfully he stood to his guns and stood off the legions of the White Ele phant in that goreful hour, until he was finally overpowered not van quished. Now he is for peace and good will. His guns are rusted and he uses his sword for a corn knife. The eastern papers need a little soothing syrup. They are in great agony over Senator F. Dumont Smith's time-limit marriage bill, and some thing should be done for them. It may worry the eastern papers, but it is causing no uneasiness among local newspaper men or politicians. Why Because they are acquainted with the man from Edwards and sev enteen other counties. When he puts up something startling, they try to get down and look under it, and catch the wily Kinsley man mixing up Something Else in the background. Behold the sad picture- The spouse of ten or a dozen years supplicating the resigning hubby to linger longer, while a ladder of semi-fatherless kids come in strong on the chorus. Be hold the heartless parent, with his two quart valise, starting for the harvest fields while he says: "You have cold feet. You refuse to get up and build the fires. The biscuits are not like Mother used to make. Time is up. Farewell." Look closely and you will see that this sad picture is only a cartoon drawn on a screen. Look behind that screen for the An swer. There you will see a man with scared hair, a satisfied look and a sweet, refreshing slumber, he would get up and move that some one be fined a barrel of apples. In this way Mr. Dolley got before the public, and now he is a Shining Light. ONE CASE IS DROPPED: Blanche Bolso Is Let Off on a Single Charge. In the district court this morning a window smashing cases against Blanche Boise was dropped by County Attorney Hungate. Miss Boise is now serving time in the county jail for smashing she did on the morning of February 14, 1903. Miss Boise has been sentenced in two cases and three more pending. One of these, set for trial next Monday, charged Miss Boise with smashing the front window of the drug store at the northeast cor ner of Ninth and Kansas avenue. The building in which the drug store is lo cated is owned by W. E. Sterne and he Instructed the county attorney to dis miss the prosecution of the case. JMiss Boise has several months still to serve in the county jail on cases In which she was sentenced. She Got In. It was a circus in a Tennessee village and soon after the doors were open for the afternoon performance a little old wo man with a poke bonnet on and her cow hide shoes in her hand presented herself out in the road with my shotgun and Tim and Joe will be right out thar" with me, and I reckon I kin skeer up three or four nayburs, and when the purcesslon conies along we'll all yell and open fire, and dod rot my buttons if we don't shoot the hoofs and horns and tails off of every durned critter in the show!' "That's what he'll say, stranger, and nuthin' I kin do will turn him, and "You ought to have a ticket, ma'am." interrupted the man in a very soft voice, and with a smile playing over his fuce, "but being you haven't one, and being you have walked ten miles and seem to be an appreciative person, you may go in and take a front seat and see all you oan and stay to the minstrel performance afterwards!" NOT WANTED HERE. Released Canadian Disowned by Ilia Wife and Country. Port Huron, Mich., Jan. 9. Re leased from prison on Christmas day after serving eighteen years for arson, aged Matthew Jones finds himself dependent upon charity, disowned by his former wife and forbidden to live in the town and country where his daughter and other relatives reside. Jones, who is 68 years old, was serving a life sentence in the Canadian penitentiary at Kingston, Ont., when on Christmas day he was granted a parole. Hastening at once to his wife's home in Port Huron, he learned for the first time that the woman had se cured a divorce and had remarried. No welcome and no home awaited him here and in a few days he was driven to appeal to the poor commis sioners for relief. This move only increased his troubles for the immigration bureau immediately took up the case and sent him back to Canada as a public charge not wanted in the United States. "Mabel!" said Mrs. Subbubs, sternly, "when that young man was leaving you at the gate last evening I heard several sounds like kisses." "Indeed!" replied the girL "Oh, I know!

NOT ALL IN PLACE Workmen Are Busy Arranging the Coops Today. Show Will Be In Full Blast Tomorrow. The sounds which arise from the Auditorium today would make one think that the city fathers had turned the city building into a farm yard. The Auditorium echoed the livelong flay with the challenging crow and tne busy kackle. Most of the chickens in place and tagged are those from Topeka, though a few large exhibitors from out of town are already in with coops. Those from out of town who have already shipped in are H. S. Nichols of Spearville. Kan., S. R. Behler of Newton, S. B. Ferrell of Granbury, Texas, J. C. Bostwick of Hoyt, C. C. Lindamwood of Walton, Kan., T. E. Applegate of Spickard, Mo., and C. S. Hart of Milan, Mo. Topeka fajiciers who have birds en tered are Tom Herren, J. W. F.Hughes, N. N. Nehrer, R. S. Paxton, Geo. Gar rett, W. L. Bates, Mrs. M. M. Wright, J. K. Thompson, Otis Chaiiand and tYank Foster. Altogether there are about 1,200 birds in place with every hour bringing in new additions. The secretary and the superintendent's office has been located to the right of the entrance to the Aud itorium and the office force is swamped with work. No attempt has been made to keep track of what is already on the grounds as the additions have been coming in so fast that it is beyond hape of getting even with the rush for a cou ple of days at the lenst. Nine states are represented in the entry blanks. The states are: Kansas, Nebraska, Ala bama, Arkansas, Missouri. Texas, New Hampshire, Iowa and Illinois. The heaviest exhibitors outside of the stat come from Missouri. The latter state appears to be prejudiced in favor of the Topeka show and commend the Audi torium as one of the best show places that they have ever exhibited in. Thus far not many freak birds have been received and the only ones in this class to attract attention at the present are the coops of Japanese ellkles. 15 birds in all. S. R. Behler of Newton is the owner and raiser of these high bred specimens of the poultry tribe. Instead of being cov ered with feathers the birds appear never to have progressed beyond the primal stage of down. However, they are of the same size as the ordinary full grown animal, pure white, how ever. Last year the show had one of these birds "on exhibition but such tender care was necessary that it was placed in a glass coop. The birds ap pear to have become hardier since then for they are occupying ordinary coops. The eggs which these speci mens of the aristocracy of hendom lay come rather high for eating. Regular Klondike prices. t3 for 15. Quite ex pensive for eating but then you're not supposed to eat the eggs, just buy 'ein for hatching. Quite a large assortment of pigeons are in place, all from the city. Those who exhibit from Topeka are Grant Iaxman, Roy Payne and Ray Chai iand. All the various kinds of pigeons which delight the heart of the small boy are there on view. Of course there is money in exhibit ing and shipping birds to shows of this character. It is considered one of the best methods of advertising. Al ready C. S. Hart of Milan, Mo., who was the first exhibitor on the ground has made a sale of some of his stock.

Ed Crocker, who won fame as an easy mark in the house two years ago, is with us once more. Crocker fur nished the apples for the house on several occasions. It was considered great sport to put the sergeant-at-arms after Crocker, arrest him for be ing absent without leave, and fine him a barrel of fruit. He finally got tired of this innocent pastime, as apples were high, and he was no hog. Mr. Crocker doesn't like apples anyway. It was in the skinning of Mr. Crocker that Joseph Dolley of Maple Hill came into prominence, and is no doubt the reason that he graces the senate this time. Mr. Dolley liked apples, and the apple gag was one of his favorite jokes. So, after he had been disnosed of fn th mft'T' of K, little grocery bill, the one which made the laooring people so tired, ne spent his time in "raising" apples.

"Look a-here, stranger, she said, as she laid her hand on his shoulder, "I've walked ten miles to see this yere circus." "But you must have a ticket."

There Is this difference between this process In the house and senate: the renators are sworn in for four years and the representatives for only two. At the next session the senators will not have to be sworn in. The oaths of office will probably be administered by Chief Justice Johnston in one house and by one of the other su preme justices probably Justice W. It. Smith in the other. The mem bers not only have to take the oath orally, but they have to file by the clerk's desk and sign the official oath as well. In the house this requires considerable time, as there are 125 members. As soon as the members are all sworn in in the house, nominations for speaker, chief clerk, and any other officers who are wanted immediately are called for, and the permanent or ganization is effected. This is, of course, all arranged by the caucus be forehand. Of course it is understood that W. R. Stubbs will be elected speaker. As soon as either the senate or house is organized and ready for business, a committee is appointed to wait upon the governor and so notify him. Governor Hoch will Immediately send his secretary, T. A. McNeal, to the house so notifying: him. and Mr. McNeal will announce: "A message from the governor in writing." He will deliver to the chief clerk of the house and to the secretary of the senate rolls of manuscript tied with a blue ribbon. This will be the gover nor's message, which will be read in each house, after which an adjourn ment may be taken to allow the states men time to eat. Caucus at 9:30 Tomorrow. It has been settled that the house and senate Republican caucuses will be held at 9:30 Tuesday morning. The house will meet at the represen tatives' hall, and the senate in the senate chamber. The officers for the house and senate will be selected at that time. It is expected that there will be very little delay in deciding the various contests when the caucuses finally get down to business. The call for the senate caucus was circulated this morning by Senator Fred Q.uincy. He had at noon today twenty-two names on his petition, which makes it practically certain that the caucus will be held at 9:30 Tues day. This morning there was a meeting at the Coueland of all the old mem bers of the house of lepresentatives. At that time, it was decided that the house caucus will be held at 9:30 Tuesday. There were twenty-two Eiembers of the last legislature pres Ind. 'Phone 22 Security Building ent. They were Adair, Adams, Beeson, Brown, Brandon, Fisher, Farris, Jef fries, Jones of Norton, Jones of Trego, Kennison, Kirtland, Leland, Mead, Pralle, Pringle, Schmidt, Taylor, Hals ey, Burke, Schermerhorn, Crocker, Wykoff. Representative Mead acted as chair man of the meeting, and Representa tive Kirtland was secretary. In addition to selecting the time for the caucus, a committee on resolutions was appointed, consisting of Adams, Beeson and Brandon, for the purpose of framing appropriate resolutions of sympathy, to be sent to all the mem bers of the last legislature who did not succeed in getting back this year. Together with them will be sent a photograph of all the "surviving" members who attended the meeting. Resolutions of sympathy were also passed for J. R. Bucklln. of Thomas county, a populist member who died during the past year. Thomas was a very popular member, and at the close of the session, the legislature voted him the flag over the speaker's stand. The flag was draped over the casket at Thomas' funeral. Tannehill, one of the Democratic members of the house, was invited to attend the meeting, and the Republi cans present voted to hold a meeting at some subsequent time to administer to Mr. Tannehill the full ceremonies of initiation into the Republican party. The fight for positions continues hot and fierce today in the Copeland lob by. A lot of new candidates have come out, and more seem to be coming all the time. j C. D. Cunningham, Dwight T. Harris and Jasper M. Howard have all come in as candidates for reading clerk in the house. The fight for postmistress of the house is between Mrs. Madge Long of Belleville and Mrs. Evelyn Bradford of Concordia, Mrs. Long was postmist ress two years ago, and Mrs. Brad ford was her assistant. Dr. J. M. Whitehead of Topeka is a candidate for chaplain of the house. He was in the civil war with the Fif teenth Indiana, and has a medal for bravery on the battlefield. The list of boys who want to be page is long. Among the candidates are the following: Senate Edward C. Tyler. Edwin Kistler, Claude Brooks, Conrad Heere, Arthur Beronius; house of representatives Earl De Frantz, Teddy Morse, Harry Shelton, Herman Wilkinson, Edgar H. Whit low, Thomas Butler, Lawrence Ed monds. THAT CONFERENCE. Tariff Reform and Railroad Legisla tion Was Agreed Upon. Washington, Jan. 9. Tariff revision and railway rate legislation in the near future are foreshadowed as the re sult of the important conference held at the White House Saturday after noon between the President and nine Republican leaders of the two houses of Congress. In other words. Presi dent Roosevelt is a party leader who leads. More than ever before is it now clear that his influence over the policies of his party is m the direction of constructive progress and in direct opposition to the policy of standing still. Although the official word as to the outcome of the conference given out by authorization of the President was that tariff revision and rail way rate legislation had been discuss ed, no conclusion had been reached and further conferences would be held, no doubt exists that three important decisions were virtually arrived at not arrived at so conclusively that an announcement can as yet be properly made through official channels, but yet so well determined upon that it will be a matter of surprise if further conferences change the apparent con clusion already reached. These three determinations are: 1. That as soon as possible there shall be an overhauling of some of the schedules of the Dlngley tariff law. 2. That as soon as practicable the Republican majority in Congress will enact a law providing for federal sup ervision of railway rates. 3. That it is not necessary in car rying out these purposes to hold a special session of the new congress the coming spring, but it may be later held advisable to call such a session for next autumn. She Wns Not Sunk. London, Jan. 9. The Sunderland steam er Dinnington, which collided off Rams gate yesterday with the Belfast schooner Despatch and which was believed to have sunk with her crew of 10 men, arrived safely in the Thames today. The Des patch, was towed Into Ramegate. I HIT AND BOBBED. (Continued from Page One,) ry the entire day's receipts from his busi ness home each night. I knew that he had forty dollars Sunday morning, and I sup pose he was robbed of that. When he didn't aret home last night It began to worry mt. I got up about 4 o'clock and went to the alley. I sort of felt that he might have met with an accident and tnought I might find him on the sidewalk. But I never dreamt of his being in the barn, all beaten up, so close to home." Mrs. Kunx was overcome with grief. An Operation Performed. After Kuni was removed to Christ hospital, Sheriff A. T. Lucas and Coun ty Attorney Otis Hungate were called to secure a statement. After some dif ficulty, Kunz was aroused from his semi-comatose condition and said: "1 left the store at 12 o'clock and caught the last car. I got off at Sixth street and Kansas avenue and walked west on Sixth street. At the lumber yard I turned to walk south on Van Buren. I remember getting as far as the alley. After that I knew nothing." It was only with a great deal of coax ing that Mr. Hungate succeeded in get ting Kunz to say this much. His de lirious condition caused him to talk in an incoherent manner. He recognized Sheriff Lucas. The latter looked over Kunz's clothes at the hospital and found 130 In a side trousers pocket, which his assailants had evidently over looked. At noon today the attending physi cians. Dr. W. F. Bowen, Dr. S. G. Stew art and Dr. C. B. Van Horn completed their examination and stated that Kunz's skull had been fractured in five places, above each eye. Just behind, above, and below the right ear. Another long wound was at the base of the skull. It could not be determined at the time, whether a fracture exists there also or not. Dr. Bowen trephined all five frac tures. After the operation the patient regained entlreonsciousness. The doc tors held out no hope for his recovery. His vitality naturally was low. He is a small man, and has been in poor health for some time. The viciousness of the attack would however have re sulted disastrously with probably any man. Mrs. Kunz was apprised of her hus band's condition at noon. She was al most beside herself with grief when in formed that practically no chance of recovery remains. She was taken to her husband's bedside this afternoon. Suspect Is Captured. The police believe that they have cap tured the man who committed the deed. About 11 o'clock Sergeant McElroy and Detective Joe Ross arrested John Groff, a young man about 28 years of age, at his rooming and boarding place, Pasho's restaurant, at 219 West Sixth avenue. This place adjoins Thomas' lumber yard. Groff formerly worked for Thomas, leaving his employ however about five weeks ago. For a time he worked with the Bell Telephone company, but lately has been out of a job. He came to Thomas Lumber yard this morning about the same time that the police arrived. He acted rather nervous and frightened. Seigear.t Mc Elroy and Chief Stahl thought they had better look him uo. Ha was arrested and takau to the po lice station. An examination o his clothes showed thrse unmistakable blood spots on his trousers, two almost as large as a quarter. Blood marks were found on no other parts of his clothes. "How did these blood spots get on your pants?' was .Mked of him. I suppose, replied Grort, -tnai when I went into the little room this morning when the poltce were there, that I rubbed up against some cf th blood on the bench and it got on me. That is the only way I can figure it out." That, to the police, looked like a mighty poor excuse, fj:- this morning the blood on the benches and against the walls was frozen and. dry. Groff stoutly maintains that he can i tell just exactly where he was last night and can account for every min ute of the twelve hours between dark ness last night and daylight this morn ing. "I know that I am innocent of this crime which they charge against me. That Is all I have to say," was his in sistent statement when asked ques tions. "Sweating" Brings Xotliing. The police sweated Groff for over two hours. He said that he spent part of the night waiting upon a sick girl by the name of "Tillie." Then he said he went to his room and slept. His answers were so disjointed and mixed up that the police decided to give him up and turned him over to the county authorities. He was placed in the county jail at noon. Sheriff Lucas and County Attorney Hungate will sweat him late this after noon or this evening, and may be able to wring some information from him one way or the other. Sheriff Lucas found a hammer in the Thomas barn lying on a little ledge, close to the place where Kunz was found. It is thought that this is the weapon with which the deed was committed. The hammer is of the ordinary carpenter varietv. with a face about one inch In width. This is about the size of the two wounds above Kunz's eyes. Both of these fractures bear evidence of having been made with a round instrument. Two brown spots, appearing to be blood, are on the side of the hammer. The handle is covered with black bicycle tire tape, and has no blood on it. Mr. Hungate has the hammer. "It is sel dom," he said, "that you will find blood marks on a hammer or ax with which a deed of this kind has been committed. So you can go little on that phase of the matter." "What do you think about Groff? Did he have any connection with the affair?" was asked of Mr. Hungate. "I have nothing to say until I have seen him," was the county attorney's reply. Watch Ts Found. The police this afternoon found Kunz's watch in an outhouse at 725 Van Buren street, where John Groff's "sweetheart" lives. The officers feel now that they have the right man. Detective Joe Ross made the discov ery. Groff stated that he had visited his "girl" on Sunday night up until midnight, -when he left for home. Ross thought that some traces might be dis covered in this way, so he set out to search around the outbuildings at the place where Groff had spent the even ing. He was rewarded by finding the watch partially concealed in a heap of paper. Calvin Kunz, son of W. F. Kunz, identified the time-piece as belonging to his father. It was badly battered up, evidently in an attempt to destroy it. PUT TO DEATH. For a Murder Committed In 1903 in New Vork. Ossining. N. Y., Jan. 9. William Spen cer. a. mulato, was put to death In the electric chair in Sing Sing prison today for the murder of Charles S. MacFarland of New Tork city on June 15, 1!03.

New Tork, Jan. 9. More than 20 members of the chorus of the Metro politan Grand Opera company were seriously injured Saturday night by the conapse or the bridge in the street scene in the openiner act of "Carmen." None of the principals was on the stage at tne time or the accident, and the un injured members of the chorus hurried ly massed at the front of the stage and sang on in an attempt to prevent the puDiic irom learning what had happen ed. The curtain was rung down as soon as possible, and Helnrich Conried, the impresario, prevented a panic by urging the audience to remain seated and not be frightened. The injured driven to hospitals were: Giovanni Rossi, two fractured ribs. Wanda Adamsky, fractured ribs. Natalie Cornnolis, both legs fractured Katharine Hahn, left hip injured and ribs bruised. Ida Fobeneteln. Internal injuries and shock. Italio Langonari, dislocation of right shoulder. Desadoria Pacettti, right leg fractur ed. Vincezzo Raggaro, fractured ribs. Giovanni Manino, fractured ribs. All have residences in this city. In addition to these, 20 or 30 mem bers of the chorus were painfully hurt. All of the exits of the theaters were opened immediately after the accident, but scarcely half a dozen of the hand somely dressed audience left their seats. Within 15 minutes after the crash -the performance was resumed and few persons in the big theater real ized how serious the accident had been. Frank F. Palmer, master mechanic of the Metropolitan opera house, who was arrested after the accident, was arraigned on a charge of criminal neg ligence, and paroled until Tuesday af ternoon. Scarcely had the bridge crashed down on the stage floor when a young woman in evening dress left the side of her escort in one of the boxes and darted through a door on the left side of the stage. Throwing aside her opera cloak, she quickly passed from one to another of the injured, giving instructions to those about her what to do. When it was learned that she was a nurse and a graduate of the New York Post-Graduate Hospital a shout went up from those who had witnessed her brave conduct. She was Miss Edith Brownell of this city. SESSIONS RESUMED. North Sea Commission Again Takes Tip Investigation. Paris, Jan. 9.

In the district court this morning Judge Dana ordered that the bond of J. C. Lowe of $5,000 be renewed and that the prosecution of Lowe for mur der be continued. Lowe shot and killed his wife, Fanny Lowe, at the Reform school in July, 1903. At the first trial he was convict ed but a new trial was granted on a technical error. The second trial was held in February, 1904. Before the trial ended Lowe evidenced insanity and was tried in the probate court and declared insane and was sent to the Osawatomie insane asylum.

STOCKS There was a fair distribution of opening orders today which lifted stocks quite uniformly a moderate fraction. St. Paul led with a rise of point. The few de clines were amongst the specialties. Smelt ing losing a point.

THE TOPEKA STATE JOUBSTAL, MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 9, 1905. 7 STIRRED UP TROUBLE. Commitment of Brodie Ij. Sanitarium. Duke to New York, Jan. 9. Incidents fol lowed each other quickly in the affairs of Brodie L. Duke, who was com mitted to a sanitarium Saturday on Account of his mental condition. They culmlnated in the sie:re of the house of George H. Mallory, Mrs. Duke's at torney, bv a woman, who said she was the lawyers client. He refused to have her admitted, and for five min utes she tried to rain an entrance. The Bellevue hospital authorities have deposited with District Attorney Jerome, bonds, stocks, notes and checks, said to have a face value of $60,000. found in the pockets of Mr. Duke when he was taken into custody ut the instance of his relatives on the ground that he was not mentally com- petent to manage his own affairs. j Mr. Duke's commitment to a sani-1 tarium was signed by Justice Wyatt of the court of general sessions, and, lr. Gregory, acting superintendent of Bellevue hospital, said today that Duke: was afflicted with a typo of dementia.! Georpe H. Mallory. a lawyer, saidj he had been retained by Mrs. Duke in, connection with some contracts m Texas land', in which she was inter ested before her marriage. However.! he declined to admit to his house a I woman whom the servants said gave j the name of Duke. Mr. Mallory was averse to entering; Into anv discussion of the transactions. There are amor.? the papers in the! temporarv custody of the district nt-j tornev's office three promissory notes for $5,000 each, said to have been! mail" on December 5 last by Mr. Duke) to Miss Webb, four days before their! marriaw and due in three, four and i five months. Mr. Mallory said he had an idea they were to be used in con nection with the financing of the Texas-Cuba Tobacco company, of which Mrr. Duke was president before her marriage. Mr. Mallorv said he had no informa tion ns .to "the list of the securities found in the possession of Mr. Dute. Among them were bonds of the cities of New Orleans and Durham, N. C etock of the Commonwealth Cotton company and various bank stocks in Durham and other southern cities. The face value of these securities was $10, 000 with notes and a check bearing a face value of $10,000 additional. Among the documents in the case is the pro spectus of the Texas-Cuba Tobacco company, which Is said to have thou sands of acres of arable land at Nacog doches, Tex. In connection with this enterprise further capital seems to have teen necessary. Among- the effects of Mr. Duke were found letterheads of this concern, which indicates that he had the confidence of certain persons to whom the company announces it re fers by permission. The references of the corporation are E. A. Blount, president cf the Com mercial National bank, Nacogodoehes, Tex.: G. B. Shaw, of the National Life Building-, Chicago, and F. T. Webster, cashier of the First National bank of Van Wert, Ohio. Mrs. Duke and her associate, Mrs. Agnes Desplaines. left the Park Avenue hotel and are now at a hotel in the upper part of the town. Both the wo men were served with subpoenas, ordering- them to appear before the grand Jury, but the reason for this move was not made public by the district attor ney's office. Chicago, Jan. 9. In marrying- Brodie Ja. Duke, who was placed in a sanitar ium on Long Island, Mrs. Duke, who resided in Chicago before the wedding-, gave up a remarkable business career In this city. Before the wedding Mrs. Duke, who is the daughter of William H. Webb, a well known Chicago busi ness man, had aided in the promotion of several large industrial concerns and at the time she became the wife of Mr. Duke, which was less than a month ago. she was president and see rptarv nf the firm nf Tnvlnr Webb a trnmlront Invoctmonl fnmtnTiv i In LaSalle street. She was understood to be wea'.thy hefore marrying- Duke. A Tribute to Thomas's Memory. Chicago, Jan. 9. Thousands of per sons, eager to pay tributes of respect to the memory of Theodore Thomas. were turned away from the Audi-1 torium theater last night because every seat in the hall was occupied fully half an hour before that set! for the memorial concert by the Chi cago orchestra for its dead leader. While the public memorial service was being held in the Auditorium a programme of the dead musician's favorite numbers was also being ren dered in many halls throughout the city. Catarrh of the Stomach. A Pleasant, Simple, hut Safe and Ef fectual dire for It. Catarrh of the stomach has long been considered the next thing to incurable. The usual symptoms are a full or bloating sensation alter eating, accom panied sometimes with sour or watery risings, a formation of gases, causing rressure on the heart and lungs and difficult breathing, headaches, fickle appetite, nervousness and a general played out, languid feeling. There is often a foul taste in the mouth, coated tongue and If the inter ior of the stomach could be seen it would show a slimy, inflamed condi tion. The cure for this common and ob stinate trouble is found in a treatment which causes the food to be readily thoroughly digested before it has time to ferment and irritate the delicate mucous surfaces of the stomach. To secure a prompt and healthy digestion is the one necessary thing to do and when normal digestion is secured the catarrhal condition will have disappear ed. According to Dr. Harlanson, the saf est and best treatment is to use after each meal a tablet, composed of Dias tase. Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nux. Golden Seal and fruit acids. These tablets can now be found at all drur stores under the name of Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets and not being a patent medicine can be used with perfect safe ty and assurance that heulthv appetite and through digestion will follow their regular use after meals. Mr. R. S. Workman, Chicago, Ills writes: "Catarrh is a local condition re" sultmg from a neglected cold in the head, whereby the lining membrane of the nose becomes inllamed and the poisonous discharge there from painK backward into the throat reaches the stomach, this producing catarrh of the stomach. Medical authorities prescrib ed for me for three years for catarrh of stomach without cure, but today I am the happiest of men after using only one box of Stuart's Dvspepsia Tablets. I cannot find appropriate words to express my good feeling I have found flesh, appetite and sound rest from their use." Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the saf est preparation as well as the simplest and most convenient remedy for any form of indigestion. Catarrh of stom ach, biliousness, sour stomach, heart burn and bloatins after meals.

Chicago Record-Herald. The new term of the district court began today. This is chicken week at the Audi torium. Exposition week will come later. Clarence Scott has practically com pleted the improvements at the Cre merie restaurant. The Brotherhood of St. Paul held an installation of officers Sunday night at the First Methodist church. The Kansas Live Stock Breeders' as sociation will have a banquet at the Throop hotel Wednesday evening. The Seabrook Congregational church has entirely freed itself from debt. The last payment of $500 was made last week. R. G. Dun Co. have moved the lo cal ollices from the side rooms to the front rooms on the top floor of the Central National bank building. Robey G. Banta, advertising man ager of the Ottawa Herald, is in To peka on his way to western Kansas, where he will spend several days. If you see a boy with his face washed and hair combed for the first time in months you may know he is a candidate for page in the legislature. Rose Cecelia Shay, who came to To peka a few years ago as the star in grand opera, is now in comic opera playing the prima donna In "Hoity- Toity." It is now quite proper, and officially correct, to use the title Jude in stead of "Parson" when speaking to or of A. W. Dana who began his duties this morning. A Kansas City paper says: "C W. Douglass, formerly a Topeka printer, is now in China, teaching Chinamen how to set type along American lines." How will Chinese type look in Amer ican lines? The county officers were quite busy today attending the ceremonies of the Installation of Judge Dana, in the dis trict court, and the inauguration of Governor Hoch and taking their own oaths of office for their new terms. The pipe organ at the Auditorium will prove a big surprise to most peo ple when it is first seen. Anticipations may be put up to a high point and they will not be mistaken. The organ is one of the finest things ever seen in To peka. Judge Dana and Judge Hazen will be banquetted at the Throop Tuesday night by the lawyers. J. G. Waters will be toastmaster and Judge Hazen. Judge Dana, Judge Hayden, Justice E. R. Smith, Eugene Hagan and G. C. Clemens w ill speak. J. R. Carter, elected superintendent of public instruction in Shawnee county, will not succeed Superintend ent Wright until Wright's regular term expires next summer. Some per sons erroneously supposed that the change would be made today. The immediate IT. S. weather report says: Kansas Wheat in fair condi tion in many of the southern and eastern counties, and in eood condi tion over the greater portion of the state, but few unfavorable reports be ing received: corn mostly gathered over large part of the state, but few counties rerort much in fields; stock doing well and in good condition, but one county making unfavorable report. The Ottawa Herald says: R. G. Banta of the Herald went to Topeka this morning to meet with Edward Moore of the Hutchinson News and W. B. Robey of the Topeka Capital. These three were appointed by uie meeting of the state advertising men's associa tion to draw up a constitution for the association. The constitution drawn up by them today will be presented to the asociation at its next meeting, Jan uary 18. In addition to the poultry show here this week the following events are also scheduled: Fifteenth annual meeting of the Kansas Improved Live Stock Breeders' association: thirty-fourth an nual meeting of the Kansas State Board of Agriculture; the second an nal meeting of the Kansas State Vet erinary Medical association; the Kan sas Beekeepers' association and the auxiliary meetings of the Kansas Rod Polled Cattle club and the Kansas Swine Breeders' association. THE CHADWICK ESTATE. Keceivcr Loeser Says Amounts of As sets Are Exaggerated. Buffalo, N. Y., Jan. 9. Nathan Loeser of Cleveland, receiver of the estate of Mrs. Chadwick, was in Buffalo today on his way home from New York, where he had been making an investigation in connec tion with the Chadwick estate. Mr. Loe ser said that he fears that the amount of assets of the estate' so far in hand has been grossly exaggerated. "The property whirh I have in my possession now, in cluding the house, real estate and house hold effects, ought, if sold, to bring $100, (0. There is a real estate mortgage of 135,000 on that and a chattel mortgage of JT.flnn," he said Mr. Loeser also discussed the $.",000,000 alleged to bear the name of Andrew Car negie, the signature of which Mr. Carne gie denied. Mr. Loeser described the note as an asset, but refrained from saying what value he placed upon it. Hastening to Europe. New Tork, Jan. 9. Mrs. Robert Medill Patterson, Joseph Medill Pat terson, her son, and his wife, the for mer Miss Alice Higgtnbotham of Chi cago .have arrived in the city on a race against death to Europe. They will sail on the first steamer this week, their destination being Vienna, where the Countess Gyzickl, Mrs. Patterson's daughter, lies critically ill with acute peritonitis. The Countess Gyiicki was Miss Eleanor Patterson, daughter of the well known Chicago publisher. She was married last April to Count Gyzickl of Russia at the home of her mother in Washing ton. The young couple have since been living at the country estate of the count near Kieff, Russian Poland, and it was there that the countess was taken seriously ill. Fitzwillfoms En Route Home. New York, Jan. 9. Anxiety as to the safety of the steamer Veronique. bearing Earl Fitzwilliams and a party of distin guished Kiiglishmen, voyaging in the Southern Pacific, has been set at rest by dispatches from Panama, cables the Her. old's London correspondent. Mysterious ly circulated reports last week were to the effect that an accident had befallen the party, but they apparently had little foundation and the earl is now said to have landed at Panama and is on his way home.

Laurens Hawn retired from the position of pro bate judge of Leavenworth county Satur day after a continuous service of twenty two years. In the long period that Judge Hawn has been probate Judge he issued 8.300 mar riage licenses. He performed the mar riage ceremony of 3.100 couples. One min ister in Leavenworth who performed more marriage ceremonies than any other in the same period did not exceed l.OuO. The oldest couple married by Judge Hawn was that of a groom of SO years and a bride of 7G years. The youngest groom was 15 years old and the bride 14 years. The parents consented in this cose. Since the establishment of the Kansas City Leavenworth Electric railway many cou ples came from Kansas Citv and were married by Judge Hawn. When in haste they could alight from an incoming car at the court house, have the marriage ceremony performed and be ready to re turn home by the time the electric car made the trip down town and came back. More than 3s couples from Kansas Citv were married here in one vear. There were eight in one day from Kansas City, Labor day, 1903. One day this week four Kansas City couples came here and were married. Judge Hnwn hsd a good income from the marriage part of his office alone. When only a license was taken out a fee of $2.50 was charged, and when the cere mony was performed the total fee was IS. Judge Hawn made it a rule when a cere mony was performed end the groom ask. ed how much, to reply in a bland, easv tone: "Only to." When he started as pro bate Judge he found that when the fee was left to the generosity of the groom, he nearly always handed out $2. FIRST TIME SINCE '68. Electoral Vote of Missouri Is Cast For a Republican. Jefferson City. Mo., Jan. 9. For the first time since 1S88 the electoral vote of Missouri was cast today for Re publican presidential and vice presi dential candidates. Theodore Roose velt for president and Charles W. Fairbanks for vice president, received the full vote of the electors who met and canvassed the vote of the state. L. M. Jones, of Kansas City, D. M. Houser, of St. Louis, acted as chair man and secretary, respectively of the meeting of electors. CAGED SEVEN DAYS. Man Suffers Martyrdom in Interest of Science. Middletown. Conn., Jan. 9. In the interests of science A. L. Leathers, of Orrington. Me., a student in the so phomore class at Wesleyan university, has been caged in the Atwater-Rosa calorimeter for seven days. For four days of that time no food passed his lips and his sole sustenance for the last three days was one quart of milk daily. Leathers passed his time read ing and sleeping. When he came out of the calorimeter he was weak from his fast and also somewhat cramped, the inside of the box being so small that he could not stand erect, although he could sit in a chair or lie on a bed when he wished. The experiment is one of a series being conducted by Professors W. O. Atwater and F. G. Benedict with a grant of $7,000 received from the Car negie institute fund, the object being to determine the amount of oxygen used by the human body under dif ferent conditions of diet, work and rest. Mormons to Build Railroad. Dallas, Tex., Jan. 9. A special to the News from El Paso says: A Mormon syndicate headed by W. J. Young, son of Brigham Young, has obtained a concession from the Mex ican government for the construction ot e r&ilroad northward from Jalisco to Topolobampo and to connect with the El Puso Sierra Madre railway, now owned by W. C. Green, of the Cananea Copper company. Personal property taxes are past due. Warrants for same will be issued to the sheriff January 14, 1905.

Zeta Ps-is Tell Students How They Get a Chapter Here. Washburn college will, have a chap ter of the Zeta Fsi fraternity in To peka if a $5,000 chapter house is pro vided. Several of the eld Zeta Psi men, among whom are Rev. A. Wyman, W. B. Storey, chief engineer of the Santa Fe, A. A. Godnrd, former attorney gen eral of Kansas, and Judge A. W. Datin. have been interesting themselves in the establishment of a chapter in Topeka. The head officials of the fraternity have expressed a willingness to establish a chapter at Topeka, but there has been a discussion over the provision that a $5,000 chapter house be secured by the local candidates for membership to the fraternity. The local men interested in the mut ter and the students in Washburn col lege have felt that it will be quite a difficult matter to secure a $5,000 chap ter house at once and have been trying to get the consent of the officers of the order to waive the requirement. A telegram has been received in To peka from the officers in Boston an nouncing that the rules cannot be waived and that the chapter may be established here only upon the fulfill ment of the requirements. Further action will be taken at once by the local college students, and it seems quite likely at this time that an effort will be made to secure the necessary property. Appointed to Legion of Honor.

Bettina Girard, the actress, died last night at Roosevelt hospital of acute pneumonia. Bettina Girard became known when she was only 18 years old when at White Sulphur Springs, W. Va., she drank champagne from her slipper to the health of an attache of the French legation in Washington. She lost her last position on the stage through her fondness for drink. She was mar ried seven times. HE GOT HIS CIGAR.. Sherman Blake Went Ten Miles for It, But Is Happy Now. Sherman Blake's friends were sur prised to see him on the street yes terday, as when he left for his camp a week ago he said that Topeka would know him no more for a month. His unexpected appearance is ex plained by the fact that he ran out of Wadsworth Bros.' Chicos, and had to come to Stansfield's to get another box. As he expressed it, "camping with out a. Chico to smoke is like lemonade without a lemon, and even though I had to come ten miles to get my cigar, I am happy now." While he said this he looked the personification of con tentment, letting a long whirl of fra grant Havana smoke float upwards. Geo. Wr. Stansfield has just received r.nother shipment cf Wadsworth Bros. Chicos, and wants all who like a good cigar, better than most 10 cent cigars, to trv a Chico, and see how well pleased "they will be for half the money, as it retails for a straight five cents. '-7'J 1 WILL PLAY COLORADO. Washbnrn Football Team to Meet Mountain Men at Boulder. A game has been arranged between the Washburn college football team and the team of the University of Col orado of Boulder to be played at Boul der on November 18. The game has not been definitely set tled inasmuch as it has not been rati fied by the faculty of Washburn col lege. The faculty will meet tonight to consider the matter and determine whether or not permission will be given for the team to make the trip whicn will require the students being out of school for several days. There is a possibility, too, that the Thanksgiving day game this year will be taken out of Topeka. Negotiations are now pending to play the University of B-enVer at Denver on that day. The game will be scheduled if the schedule of the Colorado colleges is arranged so as to give the University of Denver the open date on Thanksgiving day. The two games would require the team being absent from Topeka at least a week and a half and it is not known at this time whether the Wash burn faculty will consent to the ab sence from school of the players for so long a time or not. In event the University of Denver game cannot be arranged either from lack of permission by the Washburn faculty or from conditions brought about by the arrangement of the schedules of the various Colorado col leges, the Washburn team will return home immediately after the game at Boulder on November 18, and the Thanksgiving game will be arranged to be played here. The Washburn football squad will undoubtedly meet the team of the Nebraska State university at Lincoln, Neb., the coming season. It may be authoritatively stated that there will be no game this sea son between Kansas university and the University of Nebraska. In fact it is generally understood that the breach between the two universities has become so wide that it is ex tremely unlikely that a game will be arranged between the two schools un til after all of the present players have left school and their places are filled by students who have not par ticipated in the games over which the feeling between the two schools has been aroused. It is not likely that Nebraska will play the Indians again this Feason, and under those circumstances, Wash burn will be the only Kansas school which the Nebraska university team will meet. The schedules of the northern schools have not yet been made out, and for that reason it cannot be an nounced at this time when Wash burn will play Nebraska. The present plans contemplate the coming to Topeka of the Nebraska university team in 1306. The Washburn-Missouri game will undoubtedly be played in Topeka this year on October 28. Washburn has made several trips to Missouri and it is generally agreed to by the man agement of both teams that the game this year shall be played in Topeka. K. U. will play Colorado university ot Denver on the same day that Mis souri comes to Topeka. I K. U. is attempting to force Wash burn to play the game this season un der the Chicago conference rules. The evident motive is to weaken the Wash bt rn team. The Topeka conference rules were made principally at the instigation of the K. U. athletic board, and the offi cers tf the conference were K. U. men. The rules were made to gov ern the schools of the state of Kan sas, but K. U. comes forward this year with the argument that on account of the fact that Washburn has taken such a high rank in football matters it is no more than fair that the W'ash burn and K. U. game this year should be played under the Chicago confer ence rules. The f fleet of such a plan will be to weaken the Washburn team. The Chi cago and the Topeka conference rules are similar, except that the Topeka conference rules allow academy stu dents to play on the team. K. U. has no academy, and several of Wash burn's players are students In the academy. Four of the best men of last year's Washburn team will not be In the lineup this year. They are Caldwell, Stewart. Anderson, and Dadisman. Consequently to play the game un der Chicago conference rules, thereby shutting out the men on the team who are in the academy, the team will be greatly weakened. K. IT. Is of course noted for Its ability in bringing up all sorts of ll&t'L" Fez points and complications calculated to give thero the advantage over every one else, but there is no doubt but the K. U.-Washburn game will be played this year as usual and under usual circumstances. THE WHITE MAX'S Bl'RDEX. Husband Discharged In Police Court After Promising to Support Wife, The usual case of a wife having her husband arrested for vagrancy, be cause she charged him with non-support, coupled with "pathetic phases which would wring any man's heart," as Judge Hamilton put it, occupied the attention of the police court for over two hours Saturday. It resulted in a dismissal and a lecture. The complainant and defendant in the case, respectively, were Mrs. Jessh Rigdon and Mr. Charles liigdon, of 716 Topeka avenue. The plaintiff is a little woman, plain ly a sufferer from infirmities -which, stamp her as an' Invalid. For two years she has been entirely deaf, re taining however,. full speaking powers. Last August she was run down by a street car in this city, and for several days lay at the point of death at the hospital. Her deafness is attributed to nervous prostration and paralysis. Her husband has been a clerk in various railroad offices, principally however with the Santa Fe in Topeka. He himself admitted upon the etand that he is "an occasional or periodical drunkard." It would be very difficult to really analyze the charge. Mrs. Kigdon ac cused him of not giving her enough money to buy clothes, and medicines such as she needed. On the contrary her husband Introduced evidence that he arranged for her to get whatever he could afford, that he had arranged for her to draw his salary, and in other ways lived up to his obligations. He admitted that his taste for strom; drink did make trouble between them. The difficulties extend over several months. Rigdon was promoted to a better salaried job in Cripple Creek. At first his wife said she would go ami then refused. He went. When she was injured he come back to see her, but returned again upon her promise to come when she was well. Then he says, ehe refused again to come. Then he gave up his Job and came here. He has been out of work for several weeks. The other day the two had a heated discussion and he wrote her a note to this effect: "You may make arrange ments with any lawyer you want. You need not expect anything in the future from me." With that he picked up a few of his possessions and went to his parents' home in this city. That evening Mrs. Rigdon went ti Police Judge Hamilton, and after she told him her story, he issued a war rant for Rigdon's arrest for non-support. At that tim Judge Hamilton says that Mrs. Rigdon threatened to commit suicide unless something was done. Judge Hamilton heard but two wit nesses and then said he was ready tt dispose of the case. "It is a peculiar action all arounrl." said the court. "This woman is undoubtedly nervous and perhaps at times petvn n!, I-iut she suiters from her deafness and h r injury. The two together make a hard affliction. It is in the province of man to bear thing's. He ought to be willing r! wavii to bear the heavier part of the lond and especially so when his wife is sick, as this woman plainly is. I will ask trie defendant that he do everythin-T for h r he can. I will say further to him that it is not an excuse for him to get drunk jn--t because his wife get angry. That Is nilly and without an apology. I will further say to the defendant that his drinking has without question added to the unlmppl ness of both. That will never do for a man. A drinker loses his own self-respect and that of others. He loses placa in society. He loses happiness outside, and in his home. "Answer me one question," said th"t Judse. "Will you provide for her? ro you mean what the note said? lid you indicate there that you will do nothing for her in the future?" "No, I don't mean that." answered Rig don. "I will do the very beef. I can to make her happy. I believe we ca.n live to gether pleasantly." "Then," said the court, "you are din charged. Make the best of tilings ttint you can. Make your wife happy If you can by doing what is right. Shoulder th larger share o the burden yourself." CASTOR I Tor Iafants and Children. Tha Kind Yea Have Always BcagM Bears the Signatura of
