STUBBS IN U1S PLACE. tioferuor lloch Would Undoubt edly Name House Leader. r Hr. Grimes ETasIre lu Discuss ing the Stories. Is Senator Burton going to resign and allow Governor Hoch to name his successor after the legislature has ad journed This is the question that the legis lators and politicians are asking, as a story has been circulated that this Is the intention of Senator Burton. The United States supreme court is expected to hand down a decision in the Burton case next Monady, and on that decision may hinge the action of the Kansas senator. The story, which has gained consid erable publicity, is this: that Sen ator Burton thoroughly understands that his days of political Usefulness are over, and that even if he should come out of the present prosecution without a decision against him, that lie still would be anything but a use ful member of the senate and that he might as well be looking to his in terests by engaging in some line of v work. Under this reasoning it is rumored that he would resign his seat, pro vided that the person to be appointed In his place by Governor Hoch would reimburse him for the salary he would draw during the remaining two years of the term he was elected for. The politicians who stand close to Governor Hoch say that should he have the opportunity to name a sen ator from Kansas to. fill an unexpired term, whether by the "resignation or conviction of Senator Burton, that he would name W. R. Stubbs, if Stubbs will take the position, and there is little doubt but Stubbs would be will ing; but these same politicians who stand equally close to Stubbs, say that he would not for a minute con eider any proposition to advance Bur--ton two years' salary, or any part of his salary, or any funds whatever. These s-ame politicians, who have their ears close to the ground and know whereof they speak of Hoch and Stubbs, also fail to say positively that the prseent legislature would elect Stubbs senator if the choice of a. sen ator fell to the joint session of the house and senate. When asked concerning the report that Senator Burton would resign his teat as senator and open the way for the present legislature to elect a sen ator from Kansas, Frank Grimes, one of Burton's closest political support ers, said: "I will not say that he will not re sign and that I know he will not, but I will say that I look upon all this talk as a Joke." Mr. Grimes sparred considera'y when the question as to Burton's in tention of resigning was put to him and he seemed to be feeling his way carefully before replying. He was not at all surprised at the query. "In my conversation with Senator Burton I have not even heard him in timate that he ever thought of re signing," said Grimes. "I know that he always felt that he would be ac quitted by the supreme court at Wash ington or the case reversed. That be ing the end he would then pursue his course as senator from Kansas in the regular way. The senator made the statement after his St. Louis trial that he did not itend to take any part in Etate or national politics until after his acquittal. "I have always heard him say that first he would clear his name of this stain. He believes that In a fair and Impartial trial he will be acquitted and then he will take his seat in the sen ate." "If the -decision should go against him?" was asked. "I do not know what he would do then," said Mr. Grimes. INSURED FOR $3,200,000. Rodman Wanamaker Heaviest life Policy Holder in America. New York. Jan. 13. Rodman Wanamaker of Philadelphia has just placed $1,200,000 extra insurance on his life. He was previously insured for $2. 000. 000, so that his death will cost the insurance companies at least $3,200,000. He is a young and healthy "hustler," a chip of the old block, as they say, and expects to live long enough to see all his policies mature. They are on the endowment plan, and at the end of twenty years, if alive, he will collect the entire mount, with more, too, in the shape f interest. Rodman Wanamaker now rarries more life insurance than any ether man in America, MAJOR WARNER BEGS OFF. He Will Xot Take Place of Pension Comml ssloner Washington, Jan. 13.

Representa tive P. P. Campbell will deliver a speech on Canadian reciprocity and the tariff generally at a dinner to be given in Boston by the Manufactures' association the night of January 24. Mr. Campbell's speech on the tariff in the house last session, and his cam paigning in New England last fall are responsible for his invitation. Representative Curtis, as a member of the house ways and means commit tee, was in conference with the presi dent and secretary of war this morn ing on tariff matters generally and re vision of the Philippine tariff In par ticular. The house committee on irrigation, which Mr. Reeder Is rankinjr member, has been today considering the report of work so far accomplished by the geological search In the west under the direction and reclamation act- C. L. Davison of Wichita, repre senting the chamber of commerce of that city, arrived this morning to round up the Kansas delegation on freight rates and amendment of Inter state commerce law. BRISTOW MAY QUIT. His Enemies Are Rejoicing Over Their Final Triumph. Washington, Jan. 13. No other re cent departmental order has caused so much comment and speculation here as the transfer of the postoffice inspectors from the fourth assistant postmaster general's bureau to the di rect control of the postmaster general. General Bristow's numerous enemies are highly elated. His friends are In dignant. It is improbable that Gen eral Bristow will consent to remain In his present position. It had been his intention for months to return to Kan sas before the close of the present ad ministration and the action of Post master General Wynne will hasten his resignation. General Wynne said that he regarded It as essential for the proper transaction of postoffice busi ness that the inspectors should report directly to the head of the depart ment. "The inspectors are the ears and eyes of the department," explained General Wynne, "and the order was made because I came to the con clusion that the postmaster general should deal directly with these of ficers." General Bristow knew nothing about the transfer from his depart ment until after it had been decided upon. When the announcement was made he refused to discuss the situa tion for publication. But his indigna tion was apparent and he made little effort to conceal it. Between General Wynne and General Bristow there have never been cordial relations. Neither has publicly shown his dis like for the other, but the confidential friends of both have thoroughly un derstood the situation. No other public official has ever withstood the fire that has been leveled at General Bristow. Since the beginning of the exposure of the Cu ban frauds there has been a deter mined effort to secure his removal. McKinley, as president, stood bv Bris tow even in the face of Senator Han na's opposition. Neely and Rathbone had numerous friends among public men and Perry Heath, who was also criticised In the Bristow report, was very popular in congressional circles. A dozen senators at that time swore they "would get Bristow's scalp." Almost on the heels of the Cuban In vestigation came the investigation of departmental methods of Machen, Beavers and Tyner. The president sent for Bristow and told him to make the investigation thoroughly. Twenty or thirty men were Indicted and many of them were convicted. There was also a report about members of con fress who had asked for favors. Much of it was written by subordinates in General Bristow's office and trans mitted in the mass of papers sent to the printer. But the crowd which had sworn to get even with Bristow was swelled to mammoth proportions. One of the richest and most powerful of the members of the Pennsylvania dele gation said at this time: "We will get even with that fellow, even if we have to wait until Roose velt has gone out of office. If he goes to Kansas and runs for senator we will be there to beat him." The public has almost forgotten the incidents which followed the congres sional disclosures. But the members of congress themselves have not for gotten them. There is Ill-concealed joy throughout this camp. Bristow's fangs have been drawn. Without the inspectors his bureau, as a reform agency, is emasculated. General Wynne will retire from the postoffice department March 4. He is slated as consul general to London and will be succeeded in the postoffice department by George B. Cortelyou. The transfer of the 200 postoffice inspectors will make Mr. Cortelyou's administration more personal than that of any for mer postmaster general. WITH ROOSEVELT. Commission Merchants' League En dorses His Position on Rates. New Orleans, Jan. 13. At its session today the National League of Commis sion merchants ordered that the fol lowing dispatch be sent to President Roosevelt: "We, the National League of Com mission Merchants of the United States in convention assembled, most heartily approve of the recommendation to con gress relating to the regulation of rail way and transportation matters as em bodied in your message and pledge our services to earnestly support you in your effort to secure needed legislation along these lines." A special committee was appointed to go to Washington and appear before the proper committees of the house and senate in an effort to get better trans portation facilities and cheaper rates than are now beinr charged by private car lines and particularly the Armour lines.

Russians Raid the Japanese Line of Communication. THEY ARE REPULSED. First Attempt to Utilize Their Caralry This Winter. Russian Prisoners Are Pleased to Get to Japan. Tokio, Jan. 13. Noon. A' report received yesterday at Imperial mili tary headquarters from the Japanese army headquarters in Korea says that the Japanese garrison at Hamheung, recently defeated a detachment of the Ninth Siberian cossacks near Honun. The date of the engagement is not stated. The Russians retreated in disorder, leaving nine men dead on the field. The spoils taken by the Japanese included two horses and a number of rifles and swords. Russian cavalry raiders have slight ly damaged the railroad between An shantien, Haichang and Taschihchiao. The above dispatch evidently refers to a previous cablegram to the As sociated Press from General Oku's headquarters in the field, which an nounced a raid made on the railroad near Haichang by Russian cavalry who were repulsed, it is said, by Jap anese guards and driven back. Russian Prisoners Are Glad. Nagasaki, Jan. 13. The steamers Kada and Sunuki have arrived here with 1,600 Russian prisoners of war and fifty officers. All the prisoners have been quartered at Inasa, avillage near by, where has also been prepared a lodge for General Stoessel who will ar rive next Saturday. The Russian officers are alolwed much liberty within the bounds of the town but they are under police escort. General Stoessel and staff will sail from here for Europe on a French mail steamer January 16. The Rus sian prisoners are unfeignedly pleased at the end of the hardships of the siege and the considerate treatment of their victors. Russians Vse Cavalry. General Oku's Headquarters in the Field. Jan. 13, via Fusan. A small party of Russian cavalry near Haicheng attempted to cut the railway but were driven back by the Japanese guards. No details have yet been re ceived. It is the first time that the Russians have attempted to use cav alry along the line of communications. Second Squadron Sails Southward. Suez, Egypt. Jan. 13. The division of the Russian second Pacific squad ron commanded by Rear Admiral Botrovsky sailed southward this morn ing, presumably for Jibutil, French Somaliland. British Steamer Captured. Tokio, Jan. 13. The Japanese ar mored cruiser Tokiwa captured in the sea of Japan, January 11, the British steamer Roseley, Captain Robertson, from Barry, November 11, for Shang hai, loaded with coal consigned to Vladivostok. The Roseley was last re ported at Singapore about December 24. She is of 2,833 tons net, was built at Port Glasgow in 1902, and is owned by W. R. Rea, of Belfast. Tore Up the Tracks. Tokio, Jan. 13. The bodies of Rus sian cavalry raiders actively operating southwest of Liao Yang are evidently desirous of harassing Japanese rail road communication and interrupting the transportation of General Nogi's army to reiBforce Field Marshal Oyama at Liao Tang. The Japanese headquarters reporting Thursday says: "Wednesday at 10 in the morning a Japanese cavalry detachment encoun tered four companies of Russian caval ry west of Tangmasas, southwest of Liao Yang, and fiercely engaged them. At 2:30 in the afternoon the Russians were repulsed with heavy losses. Sub sequently they were reinforced by sev eral companies of cavalry and eight guns. The Japanese drew the Russians j to Liuerhpac and engaged and pursued I them. On Wednesday night a small I body of Russian cavalry reached the railroad line and tore up the tracks be tween Anshantien and Haicheng and Tatchekiao and Yinkow. They were Immediately repaired and the line was reopened to traffic. "On Wednesday afternoon 2,000 Rus sian cavalry with guns attacked New Chang. The Japanese were forced to retire temporarily but were reinforced, attacked the Russians and are still pur suing them. "The Russians also attacked Niuchi atun, but were repulsed." Stoessel Within His Rights. Tokio, Jan. 15. Evening. There is a growing sentiment here to discourage further criticism of General Stoessel's action in damaging the ships and forti fications at Port Arthur after his let ter looking to the opening of negotia tions for capitulation was sent to Gen. Nogl. The Nichi Nichi today authoritatively says there is no question as to the rights of the Russians to blow up their warships and damage their guns while negotiations were pending, and points out that they showed good faith by stopping the destruction of property immediately when the capitulation compact was signed. Stoessel Shoulders Blame. Tokio, Jan. 13. It is announced that General Stoessel in bidding fare well to the Russian troops at Port Arthur thanked the officers and men for the heroic defense, and said he considered that the Japanese terms were the best it was possible to have offered. He added that he would take all the blame for the premature sur render of the fortress. Steamer Indus Still Aground. New York, Jan. 13. The steamer Indus, which stuck on Fire island bar during the fog Wednesday night, was still hard and fast aground today, and at half tide this forenoon she had a bad list to starboard. All night long the wreckers, assisted by the steam er's crew, worked steadily removing the cargo of sugar in an effort to lighten her sufficient to allow her to float at the next high tide, and today practically everything movable was taken off. A moderate sea was running. RUSSImiQTE. In Which She Formally Com plains of China's Action. She Sends a Copy to Each of the Great Powers. SAYS BARS ARE DOWN. She Will Deal With Situation In Her Own Way. Says Much Aid Has Been Ex tended to Japan. Paris, Jan. 13. The Associated Press learns authoritatively that Russia's note addressed to the powers relative to China's breaking neutrality gives what Russia claims to be absolute proof of Chinese breaches. The three main complaints are: First That the islands of Miaotao, in the straits of Pe Chi Li, opposite Fort Arthur have been constantly used by the Japanese without Chinese interfer ence as a strategical base and as a har bor for Japanese torpedo boats. Second That the Chinese army on the border has accepted the command of Japanese officers. Third That Chinese firms have been constantly working in behalf of the Japanese, supplying them with provis ions, military accoutrements and gen eral war stores. The note lengthily sets forth the de tails and complains that China has not given satisfactory explanations of the breaches of neutrality and that there fore Russia advises the powers that she intends to use complete liberty of action in regard to future abuse of neutdality. MUST BE REBUILT. Brooklyn Bridge Found, to Be In a Dangerous Condition. New York. Jan. 13. Fearful lest the strain to which the Brooklyn bridge is being subjected will weaken it to such an extent that a great catas trophe might be possible, engineers of the department of bridges are report ed to have determined that the struc ture must be almost completely re-, built. To do this it will require at least two years, and meanwhile traffic between New York and Brooklyn will have to be diverted to the Williams burg bridge, the new Manhattan bridge and to the Brooklyn subway tunnel, now in course of construction. ENGINEER A SUICIDE Standing In Front of an Undertaking Establishment at the Time. Fort Scott, Kan., Jan. 13. Albert Gray, a Missouri Pacific engineer, stood in front of an undertaking establishment here today and shot himself through the heart- He was arrested recently charged with en ticing a 14 year old Wichita girl to this city. Gray left a note directing the disposition of his body and saying he was innocent. He was simply help ing the girl away from a cruel father, he said. Gray was 4 8 years of age and married. PLEA FOR RECIPROCITY Made by Eugene Foss Before the Em pire Club. Toronto, Ont., Jan. 13. Eugene Foss, of Boston, in an address to the Empire club, made a strong plea for reciprocity between the United States and Canada. Protection, he said, was not meant as a permanent trade policy for any country, but rather as a tem porary expedient to build up Infant industries until they were in a position to meet world-wide competition. It did not contemplate the supporting of pauper industries, industries foreign to a country's soil and climate and re sources, nor did it contemplate the building up of industries to a point where they became monopolistic. i This latter stage in the matter of reci procity he said was, in his opinion, notoriously erroneous. The movement was not confined to Massachusetts nor to the Democratic party. President i Roosevelt and other leaders of the I Republican party, Mr. Foss declared, felt the need of cultivating closer trade relations with Canada. With this new spirit in the United States, promising a more liberal view of internal rela tions, he hoped that Canada would not adopt an attitude of "provincial isolation." ON HABEAS CORPUS. Brodie Xi. Duke Taken From Sani tarium to Court. New York, Jan. 13. Brodie L. Duke, half brother of the president of the American Tobacco company, whose recent marriage resulted in his committment to a sanitarium, was brought into the supreme court in Brooklyn today on a writ of habeas corpus and after a hearing was sent to the Long Island home until Thurs day next. On that date a commission appointed by Justice Gaynor is to meet to inquire into Mr. Duke's con dition and make a report as to wheth er he is insane. Temperatures In Large Cities.

KEEP UPJPBLE. Attorneys Wrangle Oyer Title to Water Plant. City's Representatlres Say Nothing Can Be Done. SUBMIT TO A COURT. Pres. Street Suggests Allowing U. S. Judge to Decide. Question of Effect of Tarious Mortgages Discussed. The members of the councU had no clearer solution laid before them at last night's session for the clearing up of the title1" to the waterworks property than they formerly have possessed. The special session practically re duced itself to a three cornered discus sion between City Attorney Spencer, the city's special counsel, J. D. Mc Farland and the attorney for the To peka Waterworks company, Mr. Chas. Blood Smith, as to the legal points In volved. The discussion failed to reduce the difficulty through an obvious plan of practicable procedure in harmony with the wishes and purposes of both parties concerned, namely the city and the Topeka Water comupany. Mr. Street, president of the water company opened up the discusison by stating the two main questions as he understood them which had been raised by the city's attorneys with regard to the health of the title. He stated that with reference to the question of right of way that the com pany would assume the clearance of the title of right of way upon the Knox tract and also with regard to the right of way over lot-1 on Sixth avenue in Lindenwood's addition. Mr. Street sta ted that the latter could be easily rec tified by moving the pipes to the al ley at an expense of presumably of $156. As to the second question that had been raised with regard to the title concerning in fact the status of the company's title as affected by the re demption in equity of the third mort gage bondholders, the legal succession in the trusteeship of the Atlantic Trust company by the Metropolitan Trust company and the legal foreclosure of tne tmra mortgage bondholders, Mr. Smith, in behalf of the water company, stated that each of these questions had been passed upon by decisions in courts and that Judge Pollock in bank ruptcy hearings In the circuit court had held that the Pioneer Trust company was legally appointed as trustee for the third mortgage bondholders and there fore this mortgage could not be held as a lien against the property in case of sale. The counsel for the water com pany confessed that no foreclosure had been made of this mortgage but main tained that holders of these mortgage bonds would be compelled to pay off to the city theamountof thefirstandsecond mortgages several hundred thousand thousand dollars in excess of the amount which the city will pay for the plant and that portion also of the 75 per cent of third Mortgage bondholders who had ratinet .ansfer of trustee ship. He cited his reason for holding that the property of the water company should be held as mixed property, both personal and real, and claimed there fore that the point raised Dy jvir. jmc Farland regarding the redemption in equity did not exist and that under the New York laws the Metropolitan Trust company was the legal successor to the Atlantic Trust company, as to tne $50,000 In fire losses which had been thrown out of court but on which the time for appeal had not elapsed, he sta ted that he did not consider them a lien upon the property and that the pend ing of such a suit was not a lien. Fur thermore the judgment, if such should be rendered In favor of these claims, would not act as a lien if the city pur chases the same within the next six months. He said in conclusion: "I offer to bring about a speedy termination of this matter. I am willing to prepare a bill and submit the matter to any judge In this United States circuit and litigate within the next 60 days or at the utmost 90." Mr. McFarland arose and explained in detail to the counsel his reason for the stand which he had taken In his opinion rendered. thought that the courts had not fc. led definitely the question as to whether the prop erty of the Topeka Water company was mixed property and he was in clined to place it as real. As regard ed the statement made by Mr. Smith that the third mortgage bondholders would be compelled to pay. the city the amount of the first and second mortgage he was inclined to differ. He held that the third mortgage holders by the payment to the city of $100,000, the amount of the bid made by Mr. street when he purchased the prop erty in 1896, could commence fore closure proceedings. He maintained that the citv was only stepping into the rights possessed by Mr. Street if purchase or tne piani waa euecieu. City Attorney Spencer stated that if it were possible to secure all of the second mortgage bonds it might tend to settle the matter. But Mr. Street returned that this was impossible, that a number of the bonds had been, lost though he has in possession $500,000 worth of the $5 50,000 bonds issued. Mr. Spencer suggested that a trustee might be appointed by the third mort gage bondholders. Mr. Street stated that this was in the entirety impossi ble, that though the second mortgage bondholders controlled 90 per cent of the third mortgage bonds it would take many months to secure the con sent. That these bondholders num bered 350 and it would be entirely probable that they would not consent to the appointment of a trustee and go through the trouble of foreclosing the third mortgage in a legal manner since it was not to their financial gain. Mr. Street suggested that the court might step in and appoint a trustee. But this has already been done in the United States circuit court In the bankruptcy proceedings before Judge Pollock in 1904 and has failed to clear matters inasmuch as it fails to bring in the third mortgage bondholders as a party to the suit. The city's at torney stated that in consequence it would -be only going over ground that had already been trodden if such a suegestion should be followed. The mayor in disgust stated that he thought the city's attorneys should be enabled to suggest some sort of plan which would lead out of the difficulty. Mr. Spencer replied that the city could do nothing as far as he could see except go through the whole length again of the foreclosure pro ceedings' of the mortgages head against the property and that the only recourse from this lengthy legal ac tion would be that the Waterworks company would bring in the third mortgage bondholders as party to the suit which might be instituted; an adversary's suit and not a suit for specific information as had been sug gested by Mr. Street. with this tentative approach at the Gordian knot the council and the at torney present adjourned. jno nearer aonroach has been ar rived at. It is now up to the council to decide what the next step will be. COLDEST NIGHT. Temperature Below Zero Throughout Kansas and the West. Kansas City, Mo., Jan. 13.

Whitecotton, an attorney of Provo, Utah, resumed his review of political affairs in Utah, when the hearing opened today in the Smoot investiga tion. No effort was made by the church, he said, to restrict the polit ical' liberties of the people generally or of any individuals, but it claimed the right to receive the time and en ergies of men who have been elected to important church offices. The de duction he drew was that the church did not try to prevent its members from engaging in politics without the consent of the church, but that when certain members accepted important church offices the church had a right to prevent such members from accept ing other offices which would take their time. Mr. Whitecotton said he never had seen any difference in busi ness between Mormon and Gentile, but he thought the Mormon voters ad here more closely than the Gentiles to their party affiliations. It was shown by the witness that Gentiles had always held the most Im portant state offices and that Gentile judges who had been active in sen tencing Mormons for polygamous co habitation received as large a vote as other candidates when they came up for re-election. "I think the decided Utah Is hostile to polygamy," said Mr. j wnitecoiton. as iaj ocuumtu, the state in regard to the prosecutions for polygamy, Mr. Whitecotton said j there had been a great deal said ofj an understanding that there should be no prosecutions, but that he had t never heard of such a thing and didi not believe it existed. Continuing hei said: I "But I believe the people generally i do not want to stir this thing up and start it smelling again it has not a good odor. Women went intopolyg-. amy a aeiusion, i,c,o.um. they thought plural marriage a reli gious duty. The church prescribes that if a plural wife gets a divorce she cannot be married to another hus band, and the people realize that if she is cut off by prosecutions from her only protector, she and her chil dren are in a precarious condition.

Parks Is Interested in the Deal. EXPECT TO PIPE GAS. Hope by This lltans to Control Situation Here. Lireiy Scramble for the Old Continental Franchise. That the Continental Gas and Oil company's franchise has been sold to J. S. Parks of the Continental Creamery company of Topeka and Ferd Helm cf Kansas City, who represents the Kan sas Natural Gas company, which in turn is an adjunct company of the Standard Oil company, are the latest developments of the local natural gas situation, according to good authority. The Continental company's franchise has been on the market for some time past. For a time a deal was about to be closed with a company represented In the city by Quinton Quinton, the consideration being $2,500. It is now stated on good authority that this same franchise has been purchased by Feril Helm for $1,500, the parties who pro moted the sale receiving an additional amount. Mr. E. E. Roudebush, assig nee of the company, would not deny nor would he affirm the truth of such a sale. He claimed he really could not say whether a deal had been closed, though he maintained that he had an Interest in the franchise. It is known that the company and interests which desired to purchase the franchise wera attempting to enter Kansas City and several weeks ago conditioned their purchase of the Continental Gaa company's franchise upon the success of then- efforts in getting Into the city limits of Kansas City. Ferd Heim, it is stated. Is tied up with the Kansas Natural Gas compar y. Some of the men who are promoting the Kansas Natural Gas company are employes of the Standard Oil company. The agents most prominently identi fied are R. M. Snyder of Kansas City and Mr. J. C. McDowell, whose present headquarters are at Independence but wnose Dome Js In Pittsburg, Pennsyl vania, Snyder is in the banking busi ness at Kansas City and at the same time is the resident agent for the Stan dard Oil. McDowell has been stationed for some time past at Independence in promoting the welfare of the Kansas Natural Gas company. C. S. Gleed who is the attorney for the Kansas Natural Gas company here is still in Kansas City and ould. not be interviewed. However the statement which is attrib uted to him that the pipes of the Kan sas Natural Gas company have already been laid to within the confines of Kansas City is declared a hoax by local gas men. In defense of the fact that the Kan sas Natural Gas company Is now ask ing for a franchise it is claimed that the Kansas Natural Gas people are not satisfied entirely with a number of clauses in the franchise which has been Issued to the Continental Oil and Gas company. One of the latest ideas to be promul gated in connection with the furnishing of natural gas is city ownership of the distributing mains within the city limits. This is a method that has been in successful operation for a number of years past through the cities In the Indiana oil and gas fields. Mayor Bergundthal's brother was interested In a mutual company at Indianapolis. The scheme employed was that gas was furnished to the stock holders for a minimum amount, the pipes from the producing fields belonging to another company, the gas being delivered at the city's limits for a certain stated sum. The other method employed was mutual gas company on slightly differ ent lines, the holders of stock securing a better rate than the ordinary con sumer of gas until the dividends of the mutual company had paid back the original amount of the investment. after which the gas was furnished to all of the citizens of the town at a uniform rate without discrimination. Mayor Bergundthal likes the plan of city ownership. He believes if the pipe line is laid up to within the city's limits that the city could profitably lay mains within its limits, purchasing the gas from the pipe line company. Mr. A. B. Quinton stated that natural gas par ties whom he met in New York and who are Interested in the natural gas question considered municipal owner ship as entirely feasible and one that could be carried out. It Is generally conceded that the com pany which secures the franchise at Kansas City will lay the pipe line to this city. No company can afford to lay a pipe line with Topeka Its primary and sole base of operations. With a pipe line to Kansas City the returns from a pipe line laid to To peka would be all "velvet." With this as the state of conditions the city could make a deal looking to municipal ownership. Chinese Evade Head Tax. Victoria. B. C, Jan. 13. A scheme has been discovered whereby many Chinese of Victoria have been evading the head tax, now $500, formerly $100, which is placed on incoming Chinese. The act states that a Chinese student shall b.i admitted free. Many young Chlnena have attended the city schools after er rival and after remaining a year at the schools have been given a certinccie to that effect. The Chinese have been en abled to secure a refund of the head tax on presentation of these certificates. More Chadwlek Jewels Fonnd. Cleveland. O.. Jan. 13.

The Carriers' Salary Item One of Much Importance. Coffey ville, Jan. 13 The Record says: One of the best criteriona by which the business of a city may be judged Is the amount of business the local post office does in a given length of time, or from month to month. The Coffey ville office has enjoyed a steady In crease in business for the past eight or ten years, but the last year or two has shown a marvelous jump in the amount of money handled in stamps, money or ders, postal cards, and other commodi ties of the postal business. During the quarter which closed De cember 31, the total amount of business, exclusive of the money prder. business, was J5,t3i.C0. The year 1903 showed a total business of $4,4i3.14. This shows an increase of about $1,500. The month of December was the month when the bulk of the Christmas business was done. The postoffice was rushed to death. Everyone seemed to be wanting stamps, money orders, par cels weighed and stamped, and the dozens of things which are incident to the shipping and receiving of Christ mas gifts. The total sales of stamped goods tor the month of December was (2.125.14. December, a year ago it amounted to $1,714.49. Of the amount for this December, $1,299.44 was taken In for two cent stamps alone. Stamp books to the amount of $162.40 were sold; $103.61 was taken in for postal cards. For the Christmas week, ending De cember 24, $4,190.43 was handled in the money order department. Of this amount, $2,4u3.09 was sent out of the city, and $l,13i.20 was brought into the townl These money orders were issued in amounts of from 25 cents up to the maximum amount, $100. In all, 358 or ders were issued. The carriers' salary item has no come to be no mean iiem of expense in the local office. For the quarter just closed, the city carriers were paid $M63.55. Four of the carriers, the new ones, get $!0' a year each; the four old carriers get $50. The pay of the sub carrier, is $100 a year.payabie quarterly. Kut in addition to this, he gets pay from the carriers for every day he puts in for them, so that his earnings dur ing the year amounts up to at least a few hundred dollars, FOUND RESXEK GUILTY.

That it shall be unlawful for any fire insurance company or ganized under the laws of this state, or of any other state, territory or country, and doing business in this state, directly or indirectly, to become a party to any combination, pool or agreement which has for its purpose the fixing or maintaining of a sched ule of rates, or to subscribe or be come a party to any agency, scheme or device, organized, formed, created or adopted, for the purpose of fixing, establishing or maintaining in this state, or in any locality in this state, a schedule of rates for fire insurance, or to adopt or use, or permit its agency to adopt or use, as a guide, or other wise, any list, book of rating, or schedule of rates, or other scheme, plan or device adopted or used by any other fire insurance company, or its agents, for the purpose or with the in tent of securing uniformity of rates for fire insurance among fire insur ance companies, doing business in this state, or to adopt and use, or to per mit its agents to adopt or use any such rates, or to charge, demand or receive any premium for fire insurance based upon any rate not fixed and establish ed as the independent action or sucn company, agency or person.

Talks of Losing Honey the Last Season. Lawrence, Kas., Jan. 13. "If these schools playing under th Chicago conference rules insist that Haskell adopt the rule allowing our football players only four years on the team," said SupC H. B. I'eairs of Haskell In stitute, "we will simply give up the football business. "It is unjust," he continued, "to make us limit our men to four years of playing; Kansas gets men with three or four years of good high school football experience, while we must take Indians right out of the blanket. We are holding all football arrangements until we find whether the Big Nine teams will hold us to this rule. Hernstem has had a good offer from Purdue and from other col leges, but if we have a team he will probably coach it. I don't believe he has signed anything with Purdue. He is too good a coach for us to lose." Kansas has recelvea a letter from Haskell, in answer to the Jayhawkers' statement that they would refuse to play the Indians unless the latter adopted the four-year rule. In this let ter Supt. Peairs states that Haskell will not adopt the rule. This prac tically cancels the Kansas-Haskell game. The Indians are after a game in the Big Nine. There are good prospects that they will schedule two of these teams, probably Iowa and either Wisconsin or Michigan. Car lisle will also play their western op ponents; "but," Supt. Peairs says, "when we play Carlisle we will play the team that plays the eastern teams, not a collection of Indian coaches." There seems to be also a possibility of a game w-lth Nebraska, although the Cornhuskers stated that they would not play the red men next season. All these are prospects very likely to come to pass if these teams will play with out making Haskell adopt the new rule. "Carlisle will not accept this ruling out will have just as good a schedule, so we may get just as good games as we would if this discussion had never appeared,'" said the Indians' superintendent. "We might play under the Topeka conference rules, that would give a player six years to play, but what we ought to have is eiht years' limit." Manager U. S. G. Plank of Kansas uni versity, who was for many years discipli narian and physical director at Haskell, says that the Indians are bluffing. "If you knew Peairs as well as I do you would know that he is just giving out hot air." he says. "Haskell will have a team next year and call it a four-year team if necessary. Kansas doesn't care so much about the four year rule, but we would like Haskell's salarv list decreased. Of course Haskell will say we are afraid if we refuse to play, but if we are go ing to get beaten we would like to be put under by an amateur team. "While I was at Haskell I found out enough about salaried players to manage a professional baseball team. Too many of their stars are receiving pay in the harness and wagon making departments for work which they never do. They hold government jobs and don't like to do the work the position demands. Manager Plank is no doubt well Quali fied to make such statements and if these charges can be proven they would ruin Haskell's prospects. He claims that he has taken baseball teams out in the sum mer and the proceeds from the trips have gone to the players. It has been said that Haskell was going to arrange a post sea son schedule for the benefit of the plav ers. The Chanute "Go-Devils" and Linds borg were to have been played. The "Go Devila" were played but it is not definite ly known that the players got the proceeds- Kansas may break with Washburn. The Jayn&wkers demanded that the Consrre- gationalists adopt the Chicago conference rules. No official word has been received but it is believed that Washburn will re fuse to limit their players to four years' playing. The Topeka conference rules al low six years to school with preparatory departments. If Kansas loses theiae two games a des perate struggle will jfrobably be made at least university sentiment demands it to schedule Nebraska. A big nine team may also be scheduled. Kansas has had hard luck this season in a financial way. Last year the football season put the management $1,000 to the good, while this year, leaves them greatly in the hole, they say, but this is doubted. HE SCORES BRUSH. Manager of Highlanders Says Any Time Will Do. New York, Jan. 13. If President Brush is anxious to test the strength of the Giants against a leading Amer ican league team next spring, he can do so and at the same time decide the championship of Greater New York. Manager Clark Griffith of the High landers has Issued a statement offer ing to match the Highlanders against the Giants at any time spring or fall. Griffith said: "Never before In the history of base ball was there ever a world's series played in the spring. It is always cus tomary to play in the fall, when both teams are at their best. Mr. Brush's recent talk of playing the Boston Americans this spring looks like a gigantic bluff, In view of his state ments last summer that as long as be was president of the New York Na tional league club his team would never take part in a game with an American league team, and also be cause he followed up his policy by de clining to play a world series with the Bostons in the fall. "He has changed his tune since that time because of the weight of public opinion and the fear of lost prestige, and he now wants to back up and square himself with the baseball fans whose wishes were Ignored by him last year. "My opinion of Mr. Brush, is that he is a big bluffer, and does not wish to play anybody." Long Trip of 'W isconsin Team. Madison, Wis.. Jan. 13. The Wis consin varsity basketball party of ten men, Including Trainer Angell and Referee Lindemann. have left for the east on the most extended trip ever taken by a University of Wisconsin athletic team. The first game will be against Ohio State university at Columbus, and nine other games will be played before the completion of the trir. All the men are in sood condition except Emil Breitkreutz. who sustain ed a painful injury in a collision with an opponent last night. He will, how ever, be able to take the trip. The team will be strengthened by the ad dition of Captain Irving Bush of the 1904 football te-m. who wan the star center of the Milwaukee Interschol astic league before he entered the university. O'NEtLL IS PRESIDENT. Western. League Drops Lincoln and Pueblo From List. Omaha, Neb., Jan. 13. The meeting of the magnates of the Western league of baseball clubs proved to be a ratification meeting at which was approved a large number of items of business which has been previously agreed upon in confer ence.At the conference O'Neill was agreed to for president and no other name was presented to the regular meeting. The finances of the association were shown to be in good condition.The league was made more substantial by dropping the non playing clubs and-transferring three fran chises to substantial business interests in the cities represented. The schedule will not be adopted until the spring meeting, which will be held some time in March, wnen the Western league magnates mei there were surface Indications that mat ters were not so smooth as it had been predicted they would be. The first sur prise came in the way of an announce ment that Roy Runcie of St. Joseph had purchased the franchises and would be the head of that club. Tebeau is consider ed to be behind the deal and it was stated that an effort would be made to have Percy Chamberlain act for St. Joseph, pending the ratification of the transfer of the St. Joe club to Runcie. The session was not an open one and no newspaper men were permitted to attend. All the clubs in the league were repre sented, as follows: Omaha, William Rourke: St. Joseph, Percy Chamberlain; Des Moines, Joseph Cantillon; Sioux City, W. F. Duncan; Denver, George Tebeau; Colorado Springs, Thomas Burns. Presl uent otXIOll pi taiutu. Before the regular meeting was called to order there was considerable lobbying, with the result that most of the previous ly existing differences were smoothed over by the time the regular session be gan. President Sexton reported that the finances of the league were in a satis factory condition. The receipts for the past year were $24,SC5. There was expend ed for the president's salary and that of umpires and other items $22,747, leaving a balance of $2,118. The first business transacted was that of fixing the personnel of the league. It was decided to drop entirely the two non Flaying clubs Lincoln and Pueblo mak ing the organization a regular six league, composed of Omaha, St. Joseph, Des Moines, Sioux C(ty, Denver and Colorado Springs. The selection of a president proved to be only a ratification of the action of a previous conference at which Norris O'Neill of San Prancisco, had been de cided upon. He was unanimously elected. C. H. Myerick of Des Moines was elected vice president, with George Tebeau of Denver, W. A. Rourka of Omaha and Jo seph Cantillon of Des Moines directors. The franchise of the Sioux City club was transferred to the Sioux City Base ball association, with W. F. Duncan at its head and F. L. Hutchins secretary- treasurer. The Colorado Springs Athletic association, with Thomas F. Burns presi dent and Howard Masterson secretary. A sale of the majority of the stock of the Des Moines club to the Cantillon brothers was approved. It was stated that the St. Joseph club organization had been strengthened by several prominent capi talists laKinsr noiu or it. TOe club mad a fairly good report and will continue the coming season, under a reorganization of management. President O'Neill was authorized to fix a date m March for the SDrins meetine. at which drafts of the playing schedule win oe considered, hp was also author ized to arrange the railroad transporta tion agreements for the coming season. TRAINING FOR COAST BOUT. Neil and Hyland liegin Work to Get to 112 Pounds. San Francisco, Jan. 13. Both boys wno win ao oattie tor tne legitimate reatnerweight honors before Alex. Greggains' San Francisco Athletic club on th,e night of the 31st started to train in earnest yesterday, Neil go ing to San Rafael for a stay at Shan non's and Dick Hyland going out to sheenan s at the beach. Hyland anticipates no difficulty in making the required weight, 112 pounds at 6 o'clock, and his work at Sheehan's will be of the kind that will best equip him to go the route of twenty rounds. Prospects are good for a slashing fight, for Neil has the habit of keeping things moving along in jig time and Hyland is confident of his ability to accept any pace that may be offered. NELSON AND CORBETT AGAIN. Return Encasement for Denver and Chicago Boys Next Month. San Francisco, Jan. 13. Morris Levy, who will have the February permit, announces that he has matched Young Corbett and Battling Nelson for a return engagement. Articles have not yet been signed, but they will be as soon as Nelson returns from the mountains, where he is hunt ing. The men will meet at 133 pounds at 6 o'clock. The terms of the division of the purse have not been arranged. Nelson wants to fight Britt, but there is small chance that he can. get a match before summer. Tom Jenkins, who defeated Carkeek at catch-as-eatch-can, will leave for Catarrh of the Stomach. A Pleasant, Simple, but Safe and Ef fectual Cure for It. Catarrh of the stomach has long been considered the next thing to incurable. The usual symptoms are a full or bloating sensation after eating, accom panied sometimes with sour or watery risings, a formation of gases, causing pressure on the heart and lunga 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 drug stores under the name of Stuart's Dys- neosia Tablets and not being a patent medicine can be used with perfect safe ty and assurance that healthy appetite and through digestion will follow their regular use after meals. Mr. R. S. Workman, Chicago, Ills., writes: Catarrh is a local condition re sulting from a neglected cold in the head, whereby the lining membrane of the nose becomes Inflamed and the poisonous discharge there from passing 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 Dyspepsia 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 stomacn, neari burn and bloating after meals.

Conld Keep Disputed Questions la Court While Shipper Walts. Washington, Jan. 13. Paul Morton, secretary of the navy and former vice president of the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe Railroad company, is the au thor of an article on the railway rate question which will be published in the Outlook tomorrow. He in the outset expressly disclaims writing as a repre sentative of President R.oosevelfs ad ministration and says he speaks mere ly as one with somewhat extensive ex perience pertinent to an important sub ject. The secretary in the article says there are very few complaints against rail road rates per se in the United States the chief trouble being with "the re lation of rates as between markets." He says there are as many rates that are too low as there are rates which a court would decide to be too high, and that either class of rates may be equal ly disastrous to communities. He ex presses the opinion that federal super vision of railroads is necessary but adds that regulation and protection should go together. He says that one of the three things following is sure to take place in conduct of our railways: 'First Legislation of pools the right cf the railroads to make enforceable contracts between themselves as to a division of earnings, so that they can resist the temptations of big shippers and be assured a fair shart of the busi ness moving at stable rates which shall apply alike to all patrons. "Second The further unification of ownership, thereby delivering in time the entire railway ownership of the country in the hands of a few individ uals or one syndicate. "Third Government ownership the t i it a m m m p-Mi i J Wheeling. W. Va Ma-o- Some years ago while at work, I fell ever a truck and severely injured both of my shins.

It took only a short while for the medicine to en tirely cure up the sores, and I am not dead as the doctors intimated, nor have the sores ever broke out again.

Tfea Swift SpecSSo Csmpwy, Atlanta, Ga, (d k)) worst of the three 'evils' if such they may be called." In the opinion of Mr. Morton, govern ment ownership of our railroads would be beginning of industrial and political chaos. He rather favors the first proposition with adequate provision to assure rates being reasonable. As to pending legislation Mr. Morton favors the continuance of interstate commerce commission in substantially its present form, saying: ''Let it go on making investigations and findings, if it finds a rate is unrea sonable (either too high or too low, ev erything else being considered), let It order such rates as it deems reasonable and if the railroads do not make them effective in 30 days then the entire matter to be referred to a central court of transportation of, say, three or five members, to be created to especially consider and expedite all questions of interstate commerce so far as the trans portation of the country is concerned, it being understood that this central court shall have power to adjudicate in all such cases except those involving constitutional questions; and the find ings of the court in interstate matters to be final. "I would urge severe punishment for railroads or steamboat lines engaged in interstate commerce which by any de vice protected rates, commission or in any way afforded preferential rates, and the punishment should be Just as severe to shippers or commission agents seeking or receiving them. I would permit the railroads to divide their earnings or tonnage among them selves, filing all such agreement with the interstate commerce commission for its information and I would make these contracts enforceable as between the railroads. I would do this as an insur ance to the small shippers securing the lowest rate and as a protection to the transportation against the vast ton nage and consequent temptation offer ed by the big shippers which so fre quently have been used to secure inside rates. If these contracts were Illegal or against public policy or unreasonable in restraint of trade, then let them be reviewed by the same court of com merce. "I would favor, even if it were nec essary to have a constitutional amend ment to accomplish it, the declaration that all transportation by rail was hereafter to be considered interstate commerce and subject only to federal supervision, thereby relieving the states of this prerogative and establishing one central regulation the federal power. "I would make it impossible for oth ers than those directly interested as shippers or commercial bodies to bring suits for action under the Interstate commerce act. "I would favor an agitation and shaping of public opinion that would not tolerate such a thing as a prefer ential rate and would make it equally disagreeable to grant or receive it. The president's message on this subject meets the views of all good citizens, whether engaged in railroading or shipping." The Chicago Tribune says: The San ta Fe railroad, after all, has decided it does not desire to have its case re opened for a new hearing by the inter state commerce commission. President Ripley has so determined. He declares that Secretary Paul Morton, formerly vice president of the road, had nothing to do with the decision. Ten days ago, after the commission, in a session in Chicago, had shown that the Santa Fe was favoring the Colorado Fuel and Iron company at the expense of rival concerns in the southwest, Mr. Ripley openly attacked Commissioner Prouty's motives, and demanded a rehearing. The commissioners granted it, and the expectation was that the secretary of the navy would be a witness, he having been in general charge of Santa Fe traffic at the time the alleged favors and rebates were granted. But pros pects of a sensational reopening of the case grew dim last night, when Presi dent Ripley decided he did not care for it. The question now is: "Will the in terstate commerce commission reopen the case anyhow in order even more clearly to demonstrate that the Santa Fe road has been breaking the law?" The Chicago Inter-Ocean says: "Pres ident Ripley's claim that the Santa Fe's violation of the law was purely technical and that there was no dis crimination between shippers is hardly borne out by the fact that the Cale donian Coal company has sued the Santa Fe for $400,000 damages, which it alleges it sustained as a result of secret discrimination in rates by the railway company in favor of the Colorado Fuel and Iron company. The anxiety of the Santa Fe to get the rebate case out of the hands of the interstate commerce commission, raises the question as to the future of the $400,000 damage suit filed against that railroad by the Cale donian Coal company. Will it be fought to a finish or quietly settled out of court. Even If that case is carried through the courts some of the most interesting facts involved in the Santa Fe's payment of rebates to the Color ado Fuel and Iron company probably never will be revealed. In a court of law the examination of witnesses Is rigidly confined to matters etrlctiy 'per-1 tinent and relevant. A much broader policy has been pursued in the cases before the interstate commerce com mission. The commission is not a court, and the law empowers it only to de velop facts to be presented to the at torney general or federal district at torneys as a basis for prosecution. The rule of the commission has been to probe to the bottom of all cases. The Santa Fe rebate case is a notable ex ception to that rule, and the apparent reason was that 'it was afraid to buck the cabinet.' "There are only two western railroad presidents who favor legalizing pool ing," says a Chicago railroad man. "E. P. Ripley of the Santa Fe and E. H. Harriman of the Southern Pacific-Union Pacific system. I do not know of a single eastern railway president who favors legalized pooling since A. J. Cassatt of the Pennsylvania abandoned it. "After Ripley and Harriman, the only prominent advocate of legalized rail way pooling is Martin A. Knapp, chair man of the interstate commerce com mission. If it is true that President Roosevelt Intends to reorganize the commission he should guard against retaining on it any man who believes or professes to believe in about the most unpopular proposition in this country, legalized railway pooling." PAUL MORTOS. His Experience With a Solicitor ana a Practical Joke. Any one who has tried to get the opportunity to consume a few mo ments of time belonging to the work ing hours of a railway president or even a vice president will appreciate the astounding nerve and the marvel ous execution of Heroditus Brownley, supposedly of Boston. Heroditus succeeded In taking a whole half hour from the official life f 'f X VO"' f itrA W' mmm L C. .v is Secretary of the Navy Paul Morton, Formerly Second Vice President of the Santa Fe Railroad. of Paul Morton shortly after Mr. Mor ton had been appointed secretary of the navy, but before he had ceased trying to earn $25,000 a year by sus taining upon his broad shoulders the millions of tons of traffic pouring over the Santa Fe railroad system. In do ing this Heroditus broke all railway records for short connections, tor ne did not so much as observe the for mality of disclosing his name to the outposts. In this particular case the outposts consisted of one large colored gentle man with a face like an Egyptian sphinx, a husky typewriter youth with no poetry in his soul, when the scramble for admission to the inner sanctum reached its finish, and Tom Brown. There is only one Tom Brown of the railroad world, just as there never was but one Tom Brown of Rugby. It is no mean achievement to have passed muster with Tom Brown when you desire to see his chief, for with this one exception he never failed to detect a counterfeit on the Instant. Upon the occasion of Heroditus Brownley's visit he fairly flew into the room, swung open the outer gate, brushed the colored guard loftily aside, trod upon the toes of the typewriter boy and landed out of breath at Tom Brown's side. "Tom, is Mr. Morton in?" he gasp ed. "I must see him at once In re gard to this telegram. It is a matter of great importance to him." For once Tom Brown was taken by storm, and told the stranger to go right in. The Honorable Paul Morton was taken by surprise when the stranger effusively grasped him by the hand and declared: "I am He roditus Brownley of Boston, repre senting Professor McAuley of Cam bridge.

"but whether you have reach ed the summit or not the thing you now need to round out a glorious ca reer Is a gilt-edged edition de luxe autobiography. I am commissioned by Professor MCAUiey to say to you confidentially he has never done such a thing before, but he is impelled to write an autobiography for you upon condition of strict secrecy. He has been filled with enthusiasm by your remarkable career, the career, I might say, of a noble and talented son of a noble and talented father." "Say," persisted the secretary of the navy, glancing apprenensiveiy to ward the door, "how in thunder did votl e-et "Prav excuse me. honored sir." con tinued Heroditus, "while I unfold to you the fact that for this great work which snail immoriauie you tne pro fessor has agreed to accept the ri diculously low compensation of 10 cents a line, a mere nothing for a man of such distinguished literary talents." "A mere nothing!" exclaimed the new secretary. "Why, a man like that would choke himself to death with literature at ten per line. I wouldn't dare do It. Besides, I haven't the slightest use for an au tobiography yet. Tell me, friend, how In the world aia you get "Prav excuse me again, Mr. Secre tary. Suffice it to say I am In and while here I cannot overlook the op portunity to disclose to you the fact that if you do not neea tnat automog' raphy I am in dire need of a five spot.

I might mention the fact again that I need the money. If you haven t a five about I would fain be content with a dollar." "Young man, I'll give you that dol lar and welcome if you will only tell me how in the name of heaven you managed to get "Oh, thank you so much for the dollar, Mr. Morton. My distress has touched your kind soul. I never take money without giving some return. Will you, therefore, kindly accept this with the kindest regards of Heroditus Brownley of Boston?" Heroditus thereupon took the dollar and handed the secretary of the navy a small paper-covered note book with a patent medicine advertisement on either cover. As the door of the pri vate office clanged the Hon. Paul Morton's voice was heard saying: "By the way, young man, you didn't tell me how in you managed to get The banging of the door, not the soft voice of Heroditus Brownley of Boston, broke the connection. Mr. Morton's elevation to a cabinet position has not spoiled his love of a good joke. In a quiet way no man gets more enjoyment over a practical joke, if it be a harmless one, than the secretary of the navy. While he was second vice president of the Santa Fe Mr. Morton had occasion frequently to go to New York and al most always he took Tom Brown, his confidential representative, with him. The two men became quite familiar figures In the Waldorf-Astoria and on Broadway. Both the exceptionally fine specimens of physical manhood. Mr. Morton is a pronounced blonde, while Tom Brown has blaick hair. Both walk with long, energetic stride, are faultless dressers, in fact, men who would attract attention in anv company. When they walked together on Broadway or through the halls of the Waldorf the admiring glances be stowed upon them by the women would have turned the heads of less sensible men. It is only justice to Tom Brown to say that the visit dur ing which the following practical joke was played by the then railway official occurred prior to the marriage of Tom Brown. There are several reasons why this statement is com mon justice. Stopping at the Waldorf at the same time was a particularly beauti ful woman with whom Tom Brown succeeded in engaging in a desperate flirtation. According to all acounts matters were progressing finely be tween Tom and his fair charmer and the affair had proceeded almost to the theater engagement point. Paul Morton had taken note of the engagement and unknown to Tom was planning his ignominious down fall. To tell the truth, Tom was somewhat puffed up with pride from the fact that he had learned that the party of the second part to the flirta tion contract was an heiress much sought after in the high social circles of the east. He was, in fact, begin ning to experience all sorts of visions about private yachts, brown stone fronts, fine stables ana love in a man sion. Upon the afternoon when Tom had determined to stake all upon a thea ter invitation it so chanced that the object of his admiration got into the same elevator with him. The cage had started to ascend when Paul Mor ton swung around the corner and In his Imperious, commanding voice, shouted: "Going up." Despite his in clination to do differently, the Wal dorf flunky reversed the lever and re turned for Mr. Morton, thereby creat ing the impression among the ele vator occupants that Morton was some distinguished dignitary. In telling a friend what happened that day Tom declared he knew he was in for it the moment he saw his chief's face. The elevator shot up ward with a jerk. The woman in the case bestowed her sweetest smile upon Tom, who nervously returned it. Mr. Morton, who was watching out of the corner of his eyes, turned quickly, facing poor Brown. "Tom," he thundered, "go to my room and pack the bags. I've received a telegram calling me home." 'When that woman swept haught ily out of that elevator," confided Tom to his friend later in the day "I would have given a million, had I possessed it, to have missed the with ering look of scorn she gave me."

The Santa Fe California Limited wreck yesterday was one of the worst nas ever occurred on the Las Vegas division of the Santa. F vs. tem, both in the way of casualties and pecuniary loss. The trains met on a long hill In a dense foe. The rtaaKon- ger, which has the right of way over me iiciguL, was oownng along at 40 miles an hour. The freight was de scending the incline and was also making fast time in an effort to reach Tip Top before the Limited arrived. The impact of the two trains was terrific and wreckage from the two engines, baggage and express cars and freight cars was hurled high in the air in every direction. Both engines are almost totally ruined and the track and right of way is plied high with debris. The engine crew of the Limited owing to the dense fog could not see the freight until it was too late to jump. Engineer Allison in a flash closed his throttle and applied the air brakes, but the train was under such tremendous momentum that no earthly power could stop its speed. The Limited had the right of way over the freight, which was an extra, but the freight crew thought they had time to reach Tip Top ahead of the other train. The passenger train was heavily laden and the occupants of the cars were hurled from their seats and berths with great violence. A ma jority of them sustained bruises by being thrown against the sides of the cars and the seats. Many of them were cut about the hands and faces bv Dleces of glass from the car win dows, which were shattered into thousands of fragments. A negro waiter is reported missing, and several tramps who were stealing rides on both the Limited and the freight may have been killed. A late report from Wagon Mound states that five persons In all were killed in the wreck, but no additional names were given. The wrecked passenger train was the eastbound California Limited, made up entirely of Pullman cars. The dining, compartment and bag gage cars were badly smashed but the sleepers were not much damaged. Traffic was annulled all day. WITH SHERMAN HILL BALLAST.

Catarrh cannot be cured by the use of pills, liquid medicines and so-called system tonics. Under such treatment the germs of the disease will still live In the air passages and increase and multiply. Hyomei Is the only scientific and thorough way to cure catarrh. Kill ing the germs in the air passages, It to tvio blood with the oxygen, de stroys the microbes in the blood and effectually drives from tne system an traces of catarrhal poison. Thousands of testimonials have been given as to the astonishing cures made by this remedy. Mrs. Le Rendu, 76 Western Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio, writes: "I believe TTvnmpi saved my life. I am better now than I have been in thirty years. Many doctors, both in England and France, treated me for catarrh, but I was not cured until I used Hyomei." Probably the strongest evidence that can be offered as to the powers of Hyomei to cure catarrh Is the fact that Rowley and snow, ouu Kansas avenue., will agree to refund the money if you say Hyomei has not cured you. The complete Hyomei outnt costs but 51.00, consisting of an inhaler, fflcient Hyomei to last several weeks. This will effect a cure in ordinary cases, but for chronic and deep-seated cases of catarrh, longer use may be necessary, and then eitra. bottles of Hyomei can be obtained for 60c. 1 My Offer to V A Dollar's forth Free You deposit nothing.

And almost all womanly sickness can be traced to a common cause the nerves are weak. Not the nerves you or dinarily' think about not the nerves that rovem your movements and your thoughts. But the nerves that, unguided and un known, night and day, keep the heart in motion control the digestive apparatus regulate the liver operate the kidneys the nerves on which the vital functions depend. These are the nerves that wear et and break down. It does no good to treat the ailing or ganthe Irregular heart the disordered liver the rebellious stomach the derang ed kidneys. They are not to blame. But go back to the nerves that control them. There you will find the seat of the trou ble. There Is nothing new about this noth ing any physician would dispute. But it remained for Dr. Shoop to apply this knowledge to put it to practical use. Dr. Shoop's Restorative la the result of a quarter century of endeavor along this very line. It does not dose the organ or deaden the pain but it does go at once to the nerve the Inside nerve the power nerve and builds it up, and strengthens it and makes it well and that is the end of womanly weakness. oop s Dr. Sh g" VISITORS WELCOME TOUiTtcW "oe" CTOaY1 "i None Such In 2-PIe 10o Packages with List cf rate a new freight service from the Atlantic seaboard, from Chicago, and from St. Louis, and especially for the Mexican traffic.

The body was taken to Sim mon's undertaking rooms in Argen tine. Cahill lived in Kansas City, Kas., and was about 61 years old. Round-House at Pittsburg. Pittsburg, Kas., Jan. 13. "The pros pects now are," said a Santa Fe offi cial in the city today, "that a four or six-room round-house will be built in this city instead of Frontenac, In which event all of the men who have been living here will remain -residents of Pittsburg with their families. There will also likely be a round-house built in Frontenac, but it will have no con nection with the Pittsburg part of the Improvement. The fact 13, the Santa Fe will make a number of Improve ments in this part of the system this year." To Let Down Bars. After having been denied the priv ilege of entering the Union passenger station at St. Joseph, Mo., for sixteen years, or ever since its entrance into St. Joseph, the Chicago Great Western railway will probably be accorded that favor during the present month. The Rock Island and Santa Fe have finally withdrawn objections and persuaded the Burlington to relinquish Its oppo sition. These lines, together with the St. Joseph Grand Island, control the Union station terminals. Annual Sleeting of C. II. D. Cincinnati, Jan. 13. A majority of the stock of the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton railroad was voted today at the annual meeting of the stock holders in this city, in favor of the completion of the various deals look ing to the practical amalgamation of the road with the Pere Marquette and other properties. Wireless Messages to Train. Tests will be made shortly of send ing wireless messages to the Twentieth Century Limited train on the Lake Shore while in motion. In connection with these experiments a trial will be made of Dlans by which the engineer will be warned of any break in the track ahead of him by a signal in the cab,. Successor to F. A. Delano. The aDOOintment of a successor to F. A. Delano, as general manager of the Burlington system, will not be made before February 1. Mr. Delano's twenty years of service with the Bur lington came to an end yesterday. To Limit Colored Vote. Inharmesbur. Jan. 13. A forecast of the report of the native affairs committee is published today by the Transvaal Lead er It shows that the commission is fully agreed that a limitation must oe piacea nr. t he r-nlored vote, which it will show by startling evidence is becoming more ser ious.

When the City of Panama, arriving here today, was at Punta Arenas, Costa Rica, the English steam yacht Rosemarine was in the harbor, bound for Cocos island to search for the gold that legends say was buriedt.here by ancient buccaneers. A man named Gray Is in charge of the party. His purpose in putting into Punta Arenas, it was reported, was to endeavor to obtain concessions for ex cavations on Cocos island, the place being under the jurisdiction of Costa Rica, Another British steam yacht known as the Veronique, and bearing Earl FitzwilHams and ten associates, was at Panama when the City of Panama left there, and was also bound for Cocos on a search for the neglected coin and plate of the buccaneers. This expe dition was only a few days ago men tioned In the dispatches as having failed to find any trace of the wealth after making extensive excavations. The Veronique, it is said, will soon come to San Francisco. KTNE PER CENT. INCREASE In Gross Postal Receipts of Fifty American Cities. Washington, Jan. 13. The gross postal receipts for the fifty largest postoffices In the country for Decem ber, 1904, as compared with Decem ber, 1903, show a net increase of about 9 per cent.

CP TS3 ASSOCIATES m The Btate Journal la a member of the Associated Press and receives the full day talegraph report of that great news or fanfzatlon for exclusive afternoon pubii--atton In Topeka. The news is received In the State Jour rial building over wires for this sole pur pose. The January thaw appears to be a Janary freeze this year. The Minneapolis Journal wishes there Were more Folks like the new governor cf Missouri. The commander of th Russian Bnl- j tic fleet says he expects to be attacked by the Japanese. Fisherman would bet- ter look out. i The war in the east hns been going i on now nearly a year and the situation of Russia has grown steadily worse j from the beginning. j 1 I The enemies of Mr. Bristow have not eucceeded In getting his scalp yet but it looks as though they have clipped off a large lock of hair. The Republican national platforms which declared for the admission of the territories to statehood, said nothing about making- two states of them in stead of three or four. The man who doesn't pledge himself to stand by Roosevelt and his policy in congress appears to stand a poor show for election to the United States sen ate this winter. Since Neidringhaus has been selected to represent Missouri In the United States senate a good many residents of that state are convinced that they the Republicans. Representative Brown's bill making the pointing of a gun "in fun" at any person punishable by a fine is good. The j punishment should be increased in cases where the weapon is "not loaded" as that Is the kind that does the most harm. Newark News: Some Iconoclast is obliterating all those beautiful mottoes that Commissioner Ware had painted on the walls of his office, but nobody can oust the great Kansan from the unique place which he achieved as a philosopher In a hard row of stumps. The attitude taken toward candidates for the United States senate by a number of states should serve a hint to congressmen already elected. There seems to be a widespread desire that congress should do what the president wishes it to do. This includes, of course, action on railroad rates and the tariff. The census bureau has issued a re port on the condition of irrigation In the United States In 1902, showing that 33,415 systems with 59,311 miles of main canals and ditches were irrigating 9, 4S7.077 acres on 134,036 farms. The amount expended In constructing all these systems was $33,320,452. The aver age construction cost per acre in the arid region was $9.14 and average per Irrigation system $2,710. The report says that the great obstacle of the de velopment of irrigation in Texas and New Mexico is the present treaty be tween Mexico and this country, which prohibits the impounding of the waters of the Rio Grande. The beef trust as a trust, in the opin ion of Attorney General Moody, is a model one. His opinion is endorsed by the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle In the following: "Its organizers have reason to be proud of their sklM as trust constructors. Every interest 1t touches, including the docile public, the cattle raisers, the transportation com panies and manufacturers of materials has to pay tribute. Its toll gates are scattered all along the road, so that the man who has paid toll once finds him self held up again at another gate a lit tle further on. It is a great combine for doing up the other fellows, and for keeping at it. And yet. so modest are these wonderful geniuses that they dis claim any merit on the part of their trust as a trust. They assure the cattle raisers and the good people that we are all mistaken. Beef and mutton may be low on the producers' end and high on the consumers' end. but it is all due, no doubt, to the law of gravitation or capillary attraction or the procession ot the equinoxes or something of that sort." No other country, great or small, per haps, has made such progress from a condition of oppression and distress In the last ten years, to one of com parative order, health, comfort and prosperity as Cuba. According to a late report of Consul General Steinhart, there are a few cases of yellow fever, the first in three years, but the death rate of the island Is only 16.37, or four points less than that of New Tork city. Havana now has a pure and abundant water supply, and the paving and sew erage systems are receiving attention. The Island has thirty-three lighthouses recently improved and In good condi tion. It has no army, but it Is well and efficiently policed, and order seems to tea well maintained. There are near- 1 ly 1,500 miles of public railway and 870 of private or plantation railway, which in itself is evidence of the rehabilitation and flourishing- condition of the leading industries. Further proof is in the fact that the total value of the sugar crop last year was $52,000,000, as against $41. 000,000 In 1903 and $17,000,000 in 1900, while fruit exports have trebled in the same time. Last year Cuba's Imports from and her exports to the United States for eleven months were respec tively $72,581,332 and $2S,895,760, as against $57,228,291 and $23,504,410 for the whole of 1903. All Cuban Republic and city of Havana bonds now sell at a premium. JAYHAHKER JOTS. One of the last bills of the Gove coun ty commissioners was $49 for wolf scalps. One of the sharpest brakeman after tramps in Hamilton county is Mr. Swcrds. By doing his best friends rather than doing his best, is the way a Clifton man gets along. The latest town row at Syracuse Is over what will be the color of the last fortnight old baby's hair. An Emporia man who slipped to the pavement has decided after this not to kick unless sure of his ground. The legislature claims to be full of honest men. But lots of honest men have never been put to the test. What sort of a town is Topeka com ing to? It doesn't seem safe to walk the streets after dark any more. The oil men of southeast Kansas say the advocacy of a state refinery is a very smooth move on the governor's part. The Mutual Ice company of Topeka has declared a dividend. That's the sort of ice the stockholders are pleased to see cut. While the chicken show management has much to cackle over in display they are doing little crowing over the attendance. The five drays of Esbon are in a trust and it costs as much to have n 1" lumber hauled as when there was but one wagon, Tne Eottlers. asgociation met this week at Wichita, it is safe to say one of the subjects under discussion was "the extrac tion of corks." The formation of a mutual burial as- sociation at Fredonia might have had something to do with the presence of Mr. Graves, of Iola, In town. The "Hottest Coon In Town" com pany was In Chanute this week, but the boys say they are not to compare with some that were around last August. A Leavenworth man let his Are in surance policy expire the other day doubtless on the ground that it wouldn't do him any good after death. It doesn't always take a letter eight years to go from Wellington to Con way Springs. This week, however, one mailed that long ago at Wellington reached the latter office. The Sedgwick Pantograph speaking of forgetful husbands says: One came in this twn tne, othe.r "ki MZ whot ia vnur jnarne? j J. 1 1 1 'V 1 J GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe.J Keep your hands In your pockets; there is a clever agent in town. All a. man is expected to do on a cold day is to keep his feet warm, A woman writing about politics al ways reminds us of a man describing Battenberg. About all some pastors are good for is to raise money to apply on the church debt. About the most forlorn sight on a winter's day is a sleigh dashing down the street with no sleigh bells. It is every child's demand that a parent should provide him with every luxury AND save money. We are always willing to delight a mother by holding her baby, but we don't want to delight her too long. A real old-fashioned woman doesn't feel that she is doing her duty by her family unless she has soup on stormy days. An Atchison woman who was chasina; a man was remonstrated with. "It Is for his good," she explained: "he will be better off if I catch him and marry him." In fighting germs, mankind would be uplifted if some remedy were found for fighting the germs of suspicion. A farmer who is fond of coming In to town has to be as clever making ex cuses to give his wife, as a town wo man has to give her husband for at tending her club. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. Play is the work a man does that isn't compulsory. If a man tests a coin with his teeth he bite3 the dust. A souvenir by any other name would probably cost less. What would a woman do with a secret If she couldn't tell it? Dry bread of your own Is better than a roast from your friends. There are some widows who will not flirt but they are generally deaf and blind. The boy who saves his pennies will be in a position to blow in dollars later. Many a man who claims to be wed ded to the truth ia in reality a widower. The handiwork of some tailors seems In accord with the eternal misfitness of things. Some girls can suggest oysters after the show in seventeen different ways without mentioning them. It takes the average man half his al lotted three score and ten years to learn that he doesn't amount to very much. It's a fortunate thing for wives that husbands seldom practice what they preach. Some men stay away from church because they are not interested in mil linery displays. Wise is the man who first ascertains what kind of advice his friends want and then gives it to them. Fortune seldom knocks at a man's door the second time if he is too lazy to get up and open it the first time. Occasionally a girl insists on a church wedding because she realizes it may be her last chance to show off In good clothes. If a girl makes a mistake in marry ing it Is because she isn't old enough to know better or because she is too old to do better. QUAKER REFLECTIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. No man is a fool who realizes his own folly. It is easy to be generous with other people's money. No man is a bore, who talks to you about yourself. A man may be a regular fire-eater and still take water. Many a bank account has been traded for experience. The laugh is never on the follow on whom fortune has smiled.

Illinois Man Made Commissioner of Pensloas. Washington, Jan. 13. The presi dent has appointed Vespasian Warner to be commisaioner of pensions. Mr. Warner Is no wa member of congress from Illinois. ON, MR. KRETSIHGER. Von Left the Senate in a Muddle and Mnst Come Back. Unless W. S. Kretsinger, chief clerk of the senate, can be found and brought back to Topeka the state printer elec tion bill passed by the senate Thurs day may become a dead letter. The bill was passed by the house and sent back to the senate. It must be signed within 48 hours after it Is passed by the lieutenant governor, the chief clerk of the senate, the speaker of the house and the clerk of the house. All these officials are in Topeka and ready to sign the bill except Kretsinger who locked up his desk, and the state print er bill therein, and left town after the senate adjourned Thursday. If Kretsinger has gone to his home In Emporia he may be brought back to Topeka In time to sign the bill for Lieutenant Governor Hanna telegraph ed him today to return at once, but if he has not gone to Emporia and can not be found the bill may be a dead letter. The date provided for the election of a state printer, by this senate bill of Senator Peck's introduction, provides for the election to be held next Tuesday and no time can be lost. LOCAL MENTION.

Frank Heck, of Ottawa, father of Cal Heck, accused of assaulting W. F. Kunz on Sunday night, appeared at the county jail this afternoon for a conference with his son. Afterwards he made this statement: "I have secured Billy Deford, of Ottawa, to defend my son. I shall also get David Overmyer. I feel confident that Cal is not guilty. I Investigated this morning and found five witnesses at Cal's boarding place who will swear that he did not leave his room that night. Kunz's identification does not worry me; he was mistaken. I feel sure that we can acquit Cal." First Snow in Two Years. Portland, Ore., Jan. 13. The first snowstorm that has occurred here for two years and one which bids fair to be the heaviest for several years pre vails in this city and throughout northwestern Oregan and southwest ern Washington.

The ad dress was a vitally interesting one, and went into the matter at some length.

When these statements are all re ceived, their total will show how much money Kansas has on hand at the present time. Boom in Northern Securities. New Tork, Jan. 13. The feature of today in Wall street was a sensational rise in Northern Securities to 144 T4 on the curb market, establishing a new high record and representing a gam over yesterday of five points. In quiries on the curb revealed the fact that there is scarcely any long stock for sale, but that many of the trans actions represented speculative com mitments between trades, some of whom wanted to cover shorts and some wanted to buy.

Rob ison, of El Dorado, formerly vice president and also a member of the board of railroad commissioners. F. D. Coburn will be selected again to act as secretary of the board. HE CLAIMS IMMUNITY. W.I I. Terry Appeals to Supreme Court to Get Out of Jail. W. H. Terry, in Jail at Iola, has ap plied to the supreme court for a writ of habeas corpus, and sets up a pe culiar condition of things which war rants his release. Terry was sent to Jail to serve a six months' sentence and pay a $500 fine. After his six months had been served, and he was, as he claimed, wrongfully confined in jail serving out his fine, there was a jail delivery. Somebody sawed out a window, and Mr. Terry took the opportunity to depart. He was recaptured the next day, and put under $800 bond to answer to the charge of Jail breaking. He tendered the bond, but it was refused on the ground that he had to stay in jail to serve out his $500 fine on the other offense. Chris Ritter, attorney for Mr. Terry, says that Terry was illegally confined in jail serving out his fine, and that therefore it was no crime for him to make his escape. He wants a writ of habeas corpus on this ground. Telephone Pole on Fire. An Independent telephone pole at the corner of Eighth and Madison caught fire at noon today. The cables are brought together in a small box and through an overcharge of current the wires set the box on fire.

THE TOPEKA' STATE JOUENAi; FRIDAY .EVENING-, JANUARY 13, 1905. 6 Ml OLD FR1EHD. Stobbs Gar Most Important Chairmanship to Creech. llks Speaker He Made IlisMonej in Kallroad Building. WON'T STAND IN WAY. George Clark Has No Intention of Plajing Obstructionist. Will Facilitate the Publication of New Law. As chief business manager and auditor of disbursements of the house of representatives. Speaker Stubbs has elected J. W. Creech of Dickinson county, and made him chairman of the ways and means committee. It is the ways and means commit tee of the house that spends the money. Consequently Speaker Stubbs was anxious to select a man whose business experience in large enter prises would fit him for his work. Speaker Stubbs knew Mr. Creech because they are both in the business of railroad contracting. Mr. Creech made his money building the Rock Island lines in Kansas. He is now a rich man, like Mr. Stubbs himself, and politics is merely a pastime with him. Of course some might think that the friends of the railroads were get ting things too much their way in the house, but Stubbs and Creech are both mighty good men; they are smart and popular, and are able to run things. Mr. Creech did not get the job be cause he was a railroad contractor. He has been associated with Mr. Stubbs in many other enterprises. He was, among other things, Mr. Stubbs' successor as president of the Jerusa lem exhibit at the St. Louis exposition. J. Ralph Burton was the first presi dent of Jerusalem, Stubbs was the second, and Creech the third. Bur ton resigned because things got too hot for him; Stubbs because he want ed to take charge of the Kansas cam paign. The probability is that Mr. Creech wishes he had followed the lead of his predecessors, for under his administration. Jerusalem has not been a place filled with singing angels, neither have the streets been paved with gold. The scarcity of gold was Just the thing which bothered Mr. Creech, and his associates. They could struggle along without the angels, but the lack of gold was re sponsible for the threatened receiver ship, and the settlement with the stockholders on a basis of about 25 cents on the dollar. The enterprise was a dismal and expensive failure from start to finish, as far as money was concerned. There have been no complaints from an artistic stand point. The work of the president of the Jerusalem concern has fallen off con siderably since the exposition, and so Mr. Creech will have time to devote to the state finances. The income of the state is likely to be more reliable than that of the city of Jerusalem. Consequently it is not expected that the state will have to settle with its stockholders at 2o cents on the dol lar. Everyone who i3 acquainted with Mr. Creech speaks very highly of his geniality and liberality. He is a big man. built on plans and specifications calling for about 250 pounds avordu pois, and wears good clothes like a ii-an who knows how it is done. In addition to making money out of the railroads. Mr. Creech is also a banker, stock raiser, and investor in anything which looks good to him. He took out a large stack of chips in the game of hard work when he accepted the position of chairman of the ways and means committee of the house. The house of representatives acted JM1., riauntJr Thursday afternoon. W hlle Speaker Stubbs was in the back room fixing up the list for another com mittee, the members hastily passed a motion to adjourn until Monday at 2 p rn. This was just what Speaker Stubbs haa toid them not to do, and conse quently Speaker Stubbs was mad. "If I had been In there," he said, "I'll bet they wouldn't have adjourned." And the probability is that Mr.Stubhs is exactly right. No man has ever held the house of representatives so neatly in the hollow of his hand as Mr. Stubbs He is certainly it. What he says goes. The house simply took a base advan tage of him Thursday, and quit when he was not looking. Speaker Stubbs was especially an noyed by the adjournment of the house Thursday because he feared that Geo. Clark, the present state printer would take advantage of his opportunity, and fail to rrovide the enrolled bill in time to be signed by the governor and print ed in the Tuesday morning official state paper, Mr. Clark has no intention of this kind. He will do nothing to interfere with the passage of the law. Thursday afternoon as soon as the law was pass ed by both houses he sent to the state house for a copy, so that he might get It and set it up and in the forms ready to be printed on short notice Monday afternoon. He said today to a Stat Journal reporter: "I have no desire to interfere in any way with the passage and publication of this law in time for the legislature to go ahead with the election of a state rnnter on Tuesday. This is an enabling act. and to my mind it merely indicates that the present legislature recognizes the weakness of its position, and is try ing to hedge itself about with all possi ble precautions. The passage of this law does not in the least affect the con stitutional question involved, and it is upon the constitutional ground that I shall make my fight. I expect to pre sent my case to the supreme court in due time, and there is where the fight will be." If T. A. MeNeal wants to be state printer bad enough to demand it he can probably get the job. There are a pood many members of the legislature however, who think that MeNeal has PACKAGE I want rery person who is bilious or fcaa any stomach or Href ail ment to send for a frea Tankage of my Paw-Paw Ulls. I want to prove that they positively cure Indigestion, Sour Stom ach, Helchlr. Wind, Headache, Nervousness, SieeplessnpRfl, and are aq infallible euro for Constipation. To do this I am wiiliEB! to give millions of free pa-k aes. I take all the risk. SoH hy druggists for 25 writs a vial. For iree package address IViUISYOIV, Philadelphia A FREE been pretty well taken care of, and should not insist upon his candidacy if there seems to be a sentiment against it. But there is so far not much to in dicate that MeNeal himself considers that he is out of the race. The fact remains, however, that the man who gets the job may get a law suit. It would not pay MeNeal very well to give up a $2,000 position for the privilege of fighting George Clark in the courts, unless tnere is some arrange ment by which he will get the salary of the new position. "With MeNeal out of the race, it seems that J. E. Junkin has the thing pretty well in hand, and will win over Gomer Davies without much opposition. Jun kin did not seriously get into the race until MeNeal was sidetracked to the private secretaryship. There was no doubt that MeNeal had the big major ity for the legislature was very strongly disposed to favor him at the outset. It remains to be seen whether he can hold his strength in line, in spite of the fact that he has one job already, provided always, that he stays in the race for the place. List of House Bills.

Murphy is considered one of the best featherweights in the east, and It is thought that he will give Attell a hard fight. HABIT'S CHAIN Certain habits Unconsciously Formed and Hard to Break. An ingenious philosopher estimates that the amount of will power neces sary to break a life-long habit would, if it could be transformed, lift a weight of many tons. It sometimes requires a higher de gree of heroism to break the chains of a pernicious habit than to lead a forlorn hope in a blood battle. A lady writes from an Indiana town: "From my earliest childhood I was a lover of coffee. Before I was out of my teens I was a miserable dyspeptic, suffering terribly at times with my stomach. "I was convinced that it was coffee that was causing the trouble and yet I could not deny myself a cup" for breakfast. At the age of 36 I was in very poor health, indeed. My Sister told me I was in danger of becoming a coffee drunkard. "But I never could give up drinking Coffee for breakfast although it kept me constantly ill, until I tried Postum. I learned to make it properly accord ing to directions, and now we can hardly do without Postum for break fast, and care nothing at all for coffee. "I am no longer troubled with dys pepsia, do not have spells of suffer ing with my stomach that used to trouble me so when I drank coffee." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek. Mich.

Open wide the door of beauty And invite the people in And you'll find the paths of duty Better filled than paths of sin.

Chautauqua County Oil Producers Will Attend to a Man. Peru. Kan., Jan. 13. The cuts in the price of oil made by the Standard within the past two weeks have stir red the operators in this part of the field to action. They do not believe that the situation warrants the reduc tions in price and they say that the fact that the Standard failed to reduce the price of refined oil one cent is proof conclusive that there is no necessity for the drastic action of the Standard people. The excuse for the reduction that it was due to the rapid increase in for eign stocks and the fierce competition from foreign fields is believed by the operators in this part of the field to be a subterfuge on the part of the tT ml.. .1 T V 1 standard. In this district the opera tors are of opinion that the only re lief they can get is by building a pipe line to the gulf and a state refinery and regulation of railroad ratss and the sentiment of the operators in this regard is unanimous. There was a. meeting held here at tended by 100 of the producers of Chautauqua county. It was the unan imous determination that the legisla ture be appealed to to prevent the in Jury of the oil industry through con tinued reductions in price till the pro duction of oil is penalized to the ex tent that oil cannot be produced at a profit in Kansas. The meeting issued a call for the representatives of all the producing districts in Kansas to be held at Topeka, January 19, at the Throop hotel, at 11 o'clock. "To dis cuss the present conditions and future prospects of the petroleum industry in this state, and to take such action as may then and there be believed to be proper and necessary." The meeting elected H. E. West, one of the largest producers in Kansas as president and William B. Sutton sec retary, and instructed the secretary to Issue several thousand invitations to the producres all over the state to at tend the Topeka meeting. The call for the meeting recites: "Kansas has surprised the world by its marvelous growth of agricultural products and now bids fair to become the greatest producer of petroleum in America. SThls being true, it is but just that the people of Kansas should enjoy the re sult and profit of this valuable re source." Secretary Sutton has begun the issu ance of the invitation to the meeting. Though the name of the Standard Oil company was not mentioned in the meeting there was but one sentiment, and that was that the Standard is us ing its control of all the means of the transportation, storing and marketing of oil to oppress the producer, and that the only hope of Immediate relief is In the legislature. Among the laws to be urged before the legislature is that making the pipe lines of the Standard a common carrier, a state refinery, the regulations of rail road rates and pipelines. This includes the practical abolition of the present etate railroad commission and the ref rence of all matters affecting rates to the state council, of which the gover nor is a. member. It was the opinion of those present that the present board of railroad com missioners is not giving the people the protection from the tyranny of the cor porations which the people have a right to expect and that a change is neces sary. The oil producers want a board that is directly responsible to the peo ple of the state. There were some representatives of tha Pennsylvania people at the meet ing and they assured the Chautauqua county producers that the pipeline to the gulf can be built and be built soon If the producers decide that they will stand back of it, and give it their pro duction. Some of the largest stock holders of the Peru Oil company of Pennsylvania have been going through the field this winter and they have been impressed with its possibilities. But aside from this, one of the opera tors in the Chautauqua county field said there was money enough in this county alone to build the Port Arthur pipe line if nobody else would build it. So far as the oil men of Chautauqua county axe concerned, they are not a bit worried over the situation. They Bay that the pepople of the state have bought stock in the oil companies and they are not going to see their stocks depreciated and their value destroyed by the arbitrary action of the Stand ard. They would prefer, they say, to sacrifice it at once rather than by piece meal. It is expected that the meeting at Topeka the 19th will be the largest attended meeting of oil men ever held in Kansas.

Independence Subscribes Liberally for Gas Company. Independence, Kan.. Jan. 13. Re gardless of the result of the fight against piping out gas, the people of Independence have decided to take steps to place themselves on the safe side and insure the city against ruin. At a largely attended mass meeting Tuesday night the plans for a mu nicipal gas company were made pub lic. The idea advanced was to form a corporation which should have pow er to take options on or buy gas lands and even if necessary establish a gaa plant and operate the same until the city should be in shape to take over the project. Committees were ap pointed to solicit subscriptions to the capital stock and others to solicit cus tomers. Last night another meeting was held which showed that the new idea is rapidly catching on. Over thirty five thousand dollars had been sub scribed to the capital stock of the un dertaking and one thousand contracts for stoves signed up. One hundred million feet of gas is at the disposal of the new company and It is prac tically certain that 95 per cent of the business of the town will go to the new corporation.

Farmers Discuss the Benefits to Be Derived. Ex-Gorernor Hoard'sAddresses Proye Popular. The subject of a revival of the offi cial Kansas state fair was a matter which came up for discussion by the members of the Kansas State Board of Agriculture today. There has been considerable talk of placing the responsibility of the management of the state fair upon the officers of the board of agriculture "The plan has many advocates, and it would seem to be most advisable. said a prominent member of the board. Everyone knows that any undertaking carried out under the careful personal direction of F. D. Coburn, the secretary of the board of agriculture, would be done in a most thorough and painstaking manner, and the result would naturally be the most creditable exposition possible to be had with the amount of money and the means at hand to work with." The members of the Kansas board of agriculture are practically unan imous that the big Kansas state fair should be revived. The members as individuals, and as farmers and citi zens, are doing all in their power to urge and influence legislation of some sort which will have the ultimate re sult of the re-establishment of the fair upon a sound and substantial basis. The board has declined to officially pass resolutions as coming from the board asking the legislature to ap propriate money for aid for a fair, but at the meeting this afternoon a resolution was presented which out lines the position of the members of the board from an official standpoint. The resolution recites the information that many years ago the state fair was conducted under the supervision of the board of agriculture, and also re cites that for reasons which were deemed sufficient the custom -was abandoned about twenty-five years ago. The resolution voices the sentiment of the board in this respect, that it should appear that the board is not seeking to have the management of an official state fair conferred upon the board, but that the board wants it known and understood that it will not antagonize the plan if the citizens of the state, through the lawmakers in the legislature, decide that the plan is advisable and best. In fact, the members of the board wish to have it understood that in the event the legislature asks the board to assume control of the management of the fair and makes an appropriation to carry out the work, the board will be very glad to be the instrument of the people, and will do all within its power to make the annual expositions the success and credit to the state that they should be. The Kansas State Improved Stock Breeders' association passed strong resolutions urging the appropriation of $25,000 annually for five years for the aid of the state fair. The Kansas State Board of Agriculture could ac complish much in five years with an appropriation of that character ex pended under the trained and careful instruction of Secretary Coburn. Ex-Governor W. D. Hoard, of Fort Atkinson, Wis., who has been here this week attending the meetings of the stock breeders and the agricul turists, has made a number of speeches during the week. There has been an urgent demand from all those present to hear him at every session. He leaves Topeka to day and this morning a motion was made in the meeting, which developed to be unanimous, calling for a com mittee to be appointed to draft resolu tions thanking him for his timely and profitable talks on subjects of vital in terest to the farmers. Mr. Hoard is a. man of great per sonal magnetism and of strong char acter, and his talks have been most highly appreciated by the members of the board who have heard him. He complimented the men who were at tending the meetings here this week, and he declared that instead of the comparatively small number present there ought to be at least ten thou sand Kansas farmers in session. He commented upon the fact that the western farmers seemed to be eager for information upon improved methods of farming, and he noted a vast difference in the character of the western farmers as compared with those of the east. He advised the farmers not to scoff at science, but t profit by the results and teachings of the men who are devoting their lives to a study of advanced and Improved methods in various directions. The subject of whether tubercu losis was transmissible from cattle to man was the principal topic under consideration at the meeting this morning. A comprehensive paper regarding tne researcn in tnat direction up to the present time was read by Prof. M. A. Barber, of the State university of Lawrence. Prof. Barber discussed the various discoveries by the different scientists who have been studying that subject. Prof Barber declares that while it is practically established that tubercu losis is rarely ever transmitted from man to cows, or only under the most favorable circumstances for that transmission, it is also equally as cer tain that tuberculosis is transferred from the cow to man. Prof. Barber cited a number of in stances and the results of numerous experiments which tend to establish the fact that tuberculosis is more easily transmitted from cattle to in fants or children than from cattle to adults, although it is not to be under stood that it is not an easy matter to transmit the disease to the adult. The results of most experiments so far have not been conclusive in that there is always the argument to be made that the person suffering contagion of tuberculosis believed to have been transmitted from a cow, might have contracted the disease from other sources. The results of the experi ments show that there is no doubt that contagion from the cow is evi dent, but the experiments have not yet proven it beyond a shadow of doubt or dispute. This is largely owing to the fact that there are no people who willingly want to sacrifice themselves by deliberately inoculating them selves with the tuberculosis bacilli taken from cattle. The experiments that have been watched have had to be of those who it is supposed had accidentally contracted the tubercu losis bacilli from contagion with the infected animal. Prof. Earner says: "Briefly summarizing the evidence which we have we may state that it is well established: "First That tuberculosis cows se crete milk containing germs virulent for experimental purposes among ani mals even though the udder be not diseased. "Second That the digestive tract of infants offers comparatively little resistance to infections of all sorts, and that it does not contain certain digestive fluids which tend to protect me aauit. "Third That there is statistical evi dence or tne occurrence of infantile in testinal tuberculosis. "From these considerations and from the other evidence, the experiments with animals and the accidental inocu lation of man, we may conclude with tne majority or investigators that tub erculosis milk is a source of real dan ger, and until the question is finally decided all the precautions now in use should be maintained, and all the meas ures aesignea lor nreventing the spread of the bovine tuberculosis should be continued. "Experiments made by von Behring indicate mat cows made artificially im mune against tuberculosis furnish milk possessing curative properties for tub erculosis persons. 'So it may prove that if the cow be in any degree to blame for this human ill, she may become one of the most effective means of its cure." Prof. Barber advocated the idea that farmers should do all in their power to prevent tpe spread of- tuberculosis in their herds purely from a mercenary standpoint, if not actuated by a humani tarian motive. He declares that the loss of revenue from the cattle on account cf loss of flesh, etc., by the disease is enough to induce any sound minded man to protect his herd against tha disease. Governor Hoard also talked on the subject during the discussion which followed the reading of the paper. He said: "There Is no doubt that there is real danger in the matter of allowing tub erculosis to spread. Every farmer should have his cattle tubercular test ed every year and should not allow his herd to become infected. I have followed that plan myself, Governor Hoard said,, "for a number of years and feel well repaid aside from any reason such as the furnishing a pure milk to the public." About half a dozen different strong resolutions were offered to the commit tee on resolutions on the railroad pro blem. The committee had drafted from the various resolutions submitted, one resolution for the approval of the board. The board is strongly In favor of en dorsing the stand taken by President Roosevelt, and his attitude on railway regulation is a source of a great feel ing of approval among the members 01 the board who are in reality but re flecting the sentiment of the farmers of the great state of Kansas. They rep resent the farmer shipping interests. President' Roosevelt's attitude in an nouncing that if the desired legislation is not forthcoming at the present ses sion of congress, he will call a special session for the specific purpose of ac complishing the needed legislation, is a source of much gratification on the part of the farmers who are representing the farmers of the state in the session here this week. Of the half dozen resolutions submit ted endorsing the various phases of the problem, the following short resolution probably voices the sentiment as well as any t "Resolved, That the movement in augurated by President Roosevelt look ing toward equal and equitable railroad charges we regard as the most hpeful effort yet made in Washington to co erce the rajjroads into doing Justice to all shippers alike, and, as such, regard less of our political affiliations, we give it our hearty and unanimous approval." The committee on memorials sub mitted the following which was adopted: "Whereas, The Kansas state board of agriculture has sustained since its last coming together an irreparable loss in the death of its president. Cap tain Churchill, and also in that of E. W. Longshore, a long time assistant in the office of our secretary, there- "Resolved, That this board hereby gives expression to its high estimate of the public services and personal worth of its late president, Captain John Herbert Churchill, and as an af fectionate tribute to his memory we record the high regard in which, in dividually and collectively, he was held by the members of this board. "Resolved, That the courteous effi ciency and kindly ways of Edward W. Longshore manifested to the officers and members of this board through so many years, served to draw us closely to him, and that we realize in his absence a mute reminder of a fel lnwshin with him which we long en- irvvod. the severance of which we deenlv deplore. "Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions and the preamble be sent by the secretary to the respective tanv ilies of our deceased brothers with as surances of our condolence and esteem. "EDWIN TAYLOR. G. W. GLICK, "C. E. SUTTON, "J. J. MOBERLT. "ALEX. SLEFFEL." A resolution condemning the beef trust is another of the subjects -which received the endorsement of the board. W. J. Kennedy, expert in animal in dustry of the United States department of agriculture, was one of the principal speakers at the session this forenoon on the subject of "Irish Methods of Live Stock Improvement." The entire session yesterday after noon was occupied by a discussion of the subject following the paper, by Gov. Hoard on "The Man Behind the Cow." The session last evening was devoted to the papers by James Glover of Bluff City, Kansas, on "Making Country and Villages More Beautiful," and Miss Bertha Helen Bacheller, of the manual training high school of Kansas City, Mo., on "The Relation of Cookery to Digestion." The session of the board closes with the meeting tonight. The following is the programme: EVENING SESSION 7:30 O'CLOCK TONIGHT. Good Roads Chief Justice "W. A. TAhnsfnn. Tomka.

Buy Your Clothes Here and Pay Us a Little Each Week U Ind. Phone 791. STERIIETO STAHL Comnifsfioner Accuses Chief of Police of Wakefulness. Saji lie Is Using lTp the County Fundi. CAX'T BOKE FOR GAS. floney Will BeTsed In the Joint Litigation. Chief Stahl Gets Exclded and Claims It Isn't True. The trying of Topeka joint cases be fore Judge Benjamin Williams in Oakland by Chief Stahl, has compelled the county commissioners to give up their plan to bore for gas and oil on the Shawnee county poor farm. The correlation between these two matters miy seem a little hazy upon the first reading of the bill, but it is the very poignant correlation of dol lars and cents. County Commissioner Sterne says that by the time the county gets through paying all of the expenses at tached to- the Oakland trials, the, money which the board has saved up j by scrimping and scratching at vari- ous corners, will be at least two-thirds eaten up. He figures the cost of the cases to aggregate in the final total at least $1,500. and possibly $2,000. The county had expected to spend $3,000 in prospecting for gas. And that is the story wherein joint trials and gas wells fostered by the county don't hitch. Mr. Sterne is very much disappointed because of the im possibility to carry out his idea. Chief Stahl says it is all bosti. Nine Joint cases have been tried be fore Judge Williams during the past "week. Seven more are on the docket for next week, to begin on Monday. All are at the county's expense. Mr. Sterne says that the minimum cost of each case cannot be less than ?."0 and that it will probably be more. And then there is no telling how many more cases Mr. Stahl will take to Oakland. "Then the grand jury will come along," said Mr. Sterne this morning, "and it will all be wiped up. We have worked hard to save up a little money from various places to dig for gas. But by the time all of the ex penses attached to Mr. Stahl's joint trials in Oakland are paid up. we won't have enough left. We had only about $3,000 or $3,500 to use on the gas well anyway. "It is nothing: more than the throw ing away of so much money," con tinued Mr. Sterne. "The expense is absolutely useless. Nothing is to be gained by the trials down there. Here are the city courts, paid salaries from the city, where they naturnllv ought to be tried. Instead of that Mr. Stahl goes clear down to Oakland and tries a whole bunch nt th countv's ex pense. They all come right back to the district court again nnvwry. Ml of them are appealed. They will have to be threshed out here and fees paid again to witnesses. Take for instance "We Undersell Them all on Groceries and Meats. Best Cane Granulated Sugar, 17 SJ.OO Fancy Colorado Potatoes, bu r.Oc Fancy Navy Beans, 7 lbs 2r.c Good small Prunes.

COMER, Manager. the cost of such a trial such as is being conducted in Oakland. The fees of Judge Williams for each case alone amounts to $15 or $20. All of the witnesses have to be paid so much for each case and so much mileage. The fees of the constable must be paid, and when the whole thing is added up, I am sure that each case will not cost lesss than $50. "It is too bad," continued Mr. Sterne, "that the money has to be thrown away in this way. It is also useless for the cases are appealed. The way It looks now, we will simply have to give up our plan of boring for gas. The money we saved up will go into other directions." Chief Stahl was apprised of Mr. Sterne's statement. He immediately became bellicose. He flourished his hickory cane around, describing a few intricate parabolas, and then opened on the whole county force. "I understand why all that is said," he answered. "I can understand al right enough. Why don't those county officers do their duty. Why don't the district court use the evidence that I have presented to it again and again. 1 laid the facts before the county at torney and have been ready at all times to help him. Why don't he get down to business. "This kind of talk is all bosh," con tinued the chief. "Useless, it is called. What do I care if Mr. Sterne is annoy ed and angry over it. I was driven to try my cases at Oakland. It was all I could do. "Those cases won't cost $30 each." proceeded Mr. Stahl. "not by any means. There won't be any expense of that kind at all. Mr. Sterne stretch ed those figures away out. It is true that I swore in six of my policemen as deputy constables but not a one will n.k for constable fees. I refused mine on the first day when they were ten dered to me. We, down here at the po lice station, are paid city saalries and we don't want any fees." Mr. Stahl argues that Judge Wil liams only gets one fee for each day's work, no matter how many distinct cases were tried during the twelve hours. The same rule, he says, ap plies to a witness or constable, regard less of how many different cases he took part in. llIXGUXdS AKE INTERESTED. Have a Sharp With Bailey in the Sells Eorepausli Shows. The Forepaugh Sells show, sold on Tuesday, was bought by James A. Bailey and the Kingling Brothers Joint ly, and not by Bailey alone, ns first announced in Wednesday's dispatches. Circus men from all over the coun try were gathered at Columbus, the plan being to auction off the property. But the auctioneer paralyzed them all by saying that he had an opening fig ure of $150,000 and the bidding would begin at that. By the time the shock had subsided, the property was in the possession of James A. Bailey, who at the last moment agreed to pay that figure. Willie Sells of Topeka had been bidding $125,000. Part of the story from the Ohio State Jourral follows: "The property is now controlled by myself and Kingling Brothers," said Mr. Bailey. "After I purchased the shows for $150,000 today, I sold a half interest to the Ringlings. We will op erate them jointly. They will leave here on the coming season's tour about April l, showing first in Columbus." Great satisfaction was expressed by the score or more visiting showmen that the shows had been sold as a whole instead of piecemeal. After the sale an effort was made, inspired by Bailey, Ringling, the Rob insons and Walter L. Main, to get the show owners together for a conference upon matters of mutual interest, bill board advertising and parades, but there was such a difference of opinion that this was dropped after an imme diate storm of protest developed. Similar reception was given a propo sition to divide up the territory for the coming season, so that too many shows would not conflict on any given route. No agreement could be had In this respect. About the only existing agreement of this sort is between Bailey and the Ringlings. This was reached some time ago. Bailey to play New York City and the west, and the Ringlings the east. By yesterday's purchase Bailey springs pre-eminently to the top of the circus ladder. He has the Bar num Bailey circuses, is principal owner of the Buffalo Bill Wild West Shows, and is half owner of the Fore-paugh-Selis Bros.' show. The sale yesterday morning was a disappointment to the showmen who had flocked here from all parts of the country. They were openly dissatisfied. Disgusted at the outcome of the sale, however, most of them declined to at tend the meeting, held just after noon. Promptly at 10 a. m.. the hour set for the auction,- Lewis Sells mounted the auction platform ari2 said he had received an offer of $150,000 for the how entire, that the good tvill and name went with the property, and that the bidding would be started at that figure. Then Auctioneer Pugh took the stand. Whiie the mpjority of the visitors were looking at each other in aston ishment and hurriedly conferring, Pugh called for other bids. None was made, and he promptly knocked down the property at $150,000. "The purchaser Is James A. Bailey," n ff3 Pact ftfU fc shouted Lewis Sells, and the sale was over. Willie Sells, who had made a futile offer of approximately what the show eventually brought, expressed no sur prise. "I expected it, more or less,' he said. "Bailey can afford the out lay; he could not afford to have the show apportioned out among his com petitors. The result is altogether to nave oeen anticipated. kM Ills r .-a ill in kE Willie Sells as Seen by a Columbus Artist. Probably the most disappointed man of the entire visiting party was Theodore Hamlin of New York, rep resenting Thompson Dundy. In New York Thompson Dundy are lighting: with Bailey for the city show patronage.. Bailey has the Barnura Bailey shows, his competitors the New York Hippodrome. Hamlin came here last week, bring ing a certified check for $5,000, a vet erinary surgeon. and an expert in horseflesh. They made a careful ex amination of the entire outlay of norses and had each one they desired marked for purchase. At least 100 would have been pur chased, probably 12 5. All would have been taken to New York to stae the hippodrome to be put on next season. The change of the plan of sale knock ed Hamlin's little coup all awry. He left for New York last night, thor oughly disgusted. HECK STILL DENIES. Though Identified by Kunz, Refuses to Confess. John Groff and Cal Heck, accused of assaulting W. F. Kunz on last Sun day night, were taken before him at Christ hospital on Thursday afternoon and he identified them as his assail ants. "How do you know. Mr. Kunz. that these are the men was asked by County Attorney Hungate. "I have seen them both before," was the reply, "when they came into my store in North Topeka. I could see them distinctly Sunday night, and tney are cue men. "Want to say anything?" was asked of Groff, who has already confessed. "No need for me to talk," was the reply. "Heck," said the county attorney, "do you wish to say anything to Mr. Kunz "No," was his reply. Both were taken back to the conntv jail. Heck was sweated for a time last night, but he will not confess. Though implicated by Groff and the telltale blood spots on his trousers and Handkerchief, he denies having had any connection with the affair at all. Mr. Hungate and Sheriff Lucas tried every means to wring an admission irom him, hut he sullenly refused time and time again to even hint that he knows anything concerning the mat ter. He denies that he was ever in the store. He was caught in a num ber of falsehoods, according to Sheriff Lucas, who investigated what little he did say about his whereabouts on the night of the assault. The officers have not given him uo. but will try to break him down with further questions. Sheriff Lucas went after him again this morning, but without results. Heck has been mixed un in other scrapes, and the officers think that he fears to say anything about the Kunz matter because of possible in vestigation into previous matters. Sheriff Lucas is looking him up very closely. Heck will have to face trial In the district court on the same charge as Groff. What that will be depends, of course, on the termination of Mr. Kunz's injuries. County Attorney Hungate said this morning that all of Kunz's statements so far, and his identification of Heck and Groff, will count for nothing be fore a court. "It Is under mighty peculiar condi tions." said Mr. Hungate, "that such statements can be used. To make them admissible, a man when saying them must believe himself to be In a dying condition. We will watch Mr. Kunz very closely, and if he should change for the worse we will at once go to the hospital and get a state ment. That will be good before the court." The Concordia Blade has this to say about Groff's antecedents: "Concordia has contributed some very undesirable citizens to the popu- 4(9-421 Kansas Avenue We have bought the largest and best line of Carpets and Furniture gs for our spring line that f we have ever bought I yet 1 We must sell lots of Carpets and Furniture i in order to make room Mow On. 419-421 Kansas Ave. i. THE lafion of Topeka, and not the least among them is John Groff, now 24 years of age, who left here with his parents about six years ago to reside there.

President Holliday, of the Commer cial club, says that he will add 100 new members to the organization with in a month. He started off by bringing in five this morning: Kugene Hagan, A. F. Williams, J. F. McManus, John E. Lord, the Topeka team of the West ern Baseball association. "This club ought to have a member ship of 500 at the very least," said Mr. .Holliday. "There are now about 264 paying members. That ought to be double and will be." FOIt A VIADVCT EI.ECTIO. Mayor Bcrgiuulthal Calls One to Be Held on February 13. A proclamation calling for a special election was issued yesterday by Mavor Bergundthal. The election date is set for February 13, for the purpose of voting $15,000 bonds to assist in the building of a viaduct across the Santa Fe tracks on Branner street, the street railway and the Santa Fe railroad assuming the cost of the other half. It is claimed that the companv has effected a settlement with all excepting one property owner, who formerly held out against the erection of the viaduct. There ap pears to be no way in which this party can be reconciled to the proposition, though a number of overtures have been made. The street railway agrees to as sume all of the expense incident in holding the bond election, the agree ment having been made by the rail way company previous to the passing of the ordinance by the council.

DALY HURLING TEAM OF BROOKLYN. LAWYERS ARE COMING. State Bar Association to January 31. Meet on Wlien the' Kansas State Bar associa tion meets in Topeka on January 31 it will consider the question of asking the Kansas supreme court justices to wear black silk gowns, just like the justices of the supreme court of the United States. Perhaps the Kansas justices will find that this is merely the entering wedge for other reforms, and that be fore long they will be asked to enclose their domes of cogitation in big white wigs, while on duty. Street car con ductors are required to wear collars and neckties while at work; why should not judges be required to wear wigs and gowns? G. F. Grattan is chairman of the judiciary committee of the Kansas Bar association, and it is his commit tee which is said to be favorable to the silk gown recommendation. The secretary of the association is D. A. "Valentine, and he has just is sued a state bar bulletin, which he will send to every lawyer in the state. In it arpears the following news about the silk gown movement: "The secretary hears it whispered that the judiciary committee is going to recommend that, commencing with the next October session of the su preme court, the first assignment of cases after the summer vacation, the supreme court be asked to wear black silk gowns similar to those worn by the supreme court of the United States. This rumor may or may not be true, hut it Is a subject that is be ing discussed more and more each year by the lawyers of the state. Xearly every practitioner has a posi tive opinion on the subject, and the State Bar association has ample rights of discussion. If it does come up, every lawyer who hopes, expects or fears that he may be called to the supreme bench should be present to take part in the debate and vote his sentiments. It is an important mat ter, timely and proper." There are a good many matters of interest to lawyers in the bulletin. A few of them are as follows: The twenty-second annual meeting ot the Bar Association of the state of Kansas will be held in Topeka, in the supreme court room, January 31 and February 1, 1905. Article 2 of the constitution reads: prices hi .-r 5 -T 4. Hi ij "The object of the association shall be the elevation of the standard of profes sional learning and integrity, so as to inspire the greatest degree of respect for the efforts and influence of the bar in the administration of justice, and also to cultivate fraternal relations among its members." Every reputable lawyer of the state who has practiced in the lower courts for one year and who has been admit ted to practice in the supreme court is eligible to membership. To accommo date those who have not been admitted to practice in the supreme court, a short session of the court will be con vened for the special and only purpose of entertaining such motions. The association will convene at 10 o'clock a. m., in the supreme court room, Topeka, January 31. The president of the association, Jus tice William It. Smith, will read his address the afternoon of the first day of the session. The secretary of the state board of law examiners is expected to make a report touching the work of his board the past year.

Dickerson, manager of the Al maden mines of Park county, Colo rado, of which Mr. George Neil of Topeka is president, and in which so many Topeka people are interested, Mr. Dickerson gave u State Journal reporter some very, interesting facts concerning the development of tha Colorado mineral belt in which the Almaden properties are located. Topeka people generally will be in terested to know that the company of which Mr. Neil is president is consid ered by mining experts to be one of the very best properties in the belt, and aside from the excellent quality of the ore secured, occupies a natural position which allows the company to work the property with less than half the expense, incurred by other prop erties with a less convenient location. Situated as it is this property al lows the company to push a tunnel from the base of the mountain, back under the various veins, and in its course the tunnel undermines fhe very best veins in the Colorado min eral belt, including such veins as the King Solomon, the Anna Gould, the Jay Gould and many other excellent producing veins, the King Solomon ore avering on the regular run 39 per ton, and often as high as J100 per ton. This mine as well as all the others in this belt is now the prop erty of the Almaden company, and the fact that they can undermine them all with a tunnel instead of shafting makes the properties one of the most valuable in the belt, as the privilege of a tunnel does away with the great expense of water pumping, which often represents as high as 900 gal lons per minute. The location afford ing a tunnel means much saving to a company, as aside from the saving of the expense of the pumping machin ery, they are enabled to cross cut their properties, and from the tunnel stope up to the veins, which allows them to dump the ore in the cars be low in the tunnels, handling the ore but once, Instead of elevating it by fhe carriage system which is necessary where a tunnel is not permissible. Another interesting fact, is that three-fourths of a mile from the mouth of the Almaden tunnel is the Richmond stamp mill, and this too represents much to the company, as their ore can be dumped from the mining rooms into the ore cars in the tunnel passage, and from there, dumped into cars ready for the mill such a short distance away. Mining experts and other with min ing knowledge, say that there is no other property in the Tarryatl district, that offers such prospects as does the Almaden properties, and as there are three things essential to the success of any mining proposition, a good property, a substantial company, and plenty of money, all of which the Al mad?n company possess, there is a bright future ahead of all those in terested. Parties wishing information regarding the properties, can secure it of the president, Mr. Geo. Neil, or by calling on the manager, Mr. F. W. Dickerson, room 17 over 819 Kansas avenue. Were After Xog-i's Guns. Tokio, Jan. 13. Evening. In military circles here it is not anticipated that there will be any further difficulty witn Lieutenant General Miztchenkoa" Cos sack raiders. It is believed that the raiding troops were probably limited to those which attacked New Chwang and Miuchiatun. There is no evidence to indicate that the Cossacks were strongly supported. Steps were taken to block their retreat, but they evident ly found it necessary to retire as swift ly as they came in order to avoid being captured. It Is believed here that the Cossacks planned a dash on the rail road for the purpose of intercepting General Nogi's big guns which are on the way to the Shakhe river and also to upset Field Marshal Oyama's transport communications.

8 THE TOPEKA STATU JOURNAL, FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 13, 1905. c06I PAIIIFUL SCIATICA EVERT SUFFERER WANTS THE VERY QUICKEST CURE. Mr. Donovan Thinks the Remedy Used by Him With Such Re markable Success the Best Cured by live Boxes. "Men who have to do difficult and dangerous work on electric lines at any hour of day or night, can't afford to have anything the matter with their health," said Mr. Donovan, "partic ularly anything that interferes with the freedom of their movements. You can imagine, therefore, how much I was alarmed one winter's day in 1902, when I was seized by a pain just be hind my right hip that made it diffi cult for me to walk home. It was so bad and had made me so weak by the time I reached the house that I was obliged to go -straight to bed." "Did that relieve you?" "No, the pain grew more severe and kept extending downward along my leg. I sent for a physician, and he soon decided that I had a very severe attack of sickness. In a few days the whole nerve was affected, and I could not turn over or even move In bed. for the least movement brought on terrible agony. "Did your condition improve under tn aoctor s treatment? "Quite the contrary. His medicines die not seem to help me at all. At the end of two months I wasn't a bit bet ter, and at times I was thoroughly dis couraged. I feared that I would never be able to leave my bed." "How did you get out again?" "Because I was willing to be guided ty the experience of some people who had been cured of sciatica without the aid of a doctor. When I was lying in bed, unable to move and wasting away In flesh because I had no appetite, a friend visited me and told me about the wonderful cures brought about by a great blood and nerve remedy. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. He strongly urged me to try them, and I luckily liad sense enough to take his advice. STien I began to get well." "Did you mend quickly?" "Ves, that was the astonishing thing. I noticed a slight improvement before t had quite finished the first box of the pills. I could get out of bed while I was on the third box, and I was en tirely cured by the time I had taken if.ve boxes. I think I am permanently cured, for I have never had the slight est return of the trouble since Dr. Williams' Pink Pills first drove the ter rible pains away." Mr. Joseph A. Donovan is living at Plaistow, New Hampshire, and is line Inspector for the Haverhill, Newton and Plaistow electric street railway. The remedy to which he owes his quick release from the tortures of sci atica has a world-wide reputation for purifiying and enriching the blood. When the blood that feeds the nerves is sound and abundant the nerves themselves grow healthy and strong. Dr. Williams' Pink PiUs are the remedy to use when the blood is thin, as in anaemia; or impure, as in rheu matism; or when the nerves are weak, as in neuralgia; or lifeless, as in par tial paralysis: or when the body as a whole is ill nourished, as in general debility. When the nerves ache and tremble it means they are starving. The only way to feed them is through the blood, and the best food is Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. They are sold by all druggists. BRIEF BITS OF CITY NEWS. Collection of Important Para graphs for Your Consideration. PRIVATE CAR LIXE3. They Receive Attention From Conven tion of Commission Merchants. New Orleans, Jan. 13. At the an nual convention of the National League of Commission Merchants, President Charles B. Ayres in his an nual report discussed very vigorously the question of private car lines. He said: "We have instituted a fight against one of the most unrelentina and un scrupulous monopolies of the age; a corporation that terrorizes the rail roads of our land and even goes so far as to say to the interstate com merce commission 'keep your hands off; you have no right to interfere no matter what our transgressions may be; we are a private car line and will continue to charge the limit we think the public will stand and if perchance you are not satisfied to pay our toll for the privilege of living you can let your goods rot, as you must do busi ness with us or quit.' "This is what the Armour exclusive contracts mean and the agitation of this matter and the publicity the press of the land has given to the investiga tion has startled the country." Mr. Ayres said the sympathy of the Interstate commerce commission was with the commission merchants, but the commission doubted the power to give relief. He highly extolled Presi dent Roosevelt. "In him." Mr. Ayres said, "we have a man with whom we can with con-, ndence rest our cause, believing that sooner or later he will find the proper means to carry out that policy of re form which was so clearly outlined in bis message." The informal reception will be given to Rev. Thomas Filben. D. D., of Cali fornia, by members of the Epworth League tomorrow evening, at home of Frank Cope, 409 Harrison street.

Since the installation of wiring there has been additional work at dif ferent times, the latter part showing especial neglect and carelessness that would not have passed the scrutiny of an efficient electrical inspector, guard ing the city's interests."

It is made for smokers like you, and you ought to get acquainted at once. port said: "This will mean to all pur poses an entire reinstallation of wiring. In many places the material has been interior; in others, the wires have not been run through conduits and the sweating of the walls has rotted away the insulation about the wires. Some of the material can be utilized but as I say the recommendations em body a practical reinstallation." Using a conduit system which meets the highest approval or tne .National Board of Fire Insurance underwriters means the increasing the cost by some two to three fold over the ordinary system. The conduit system provides for the running of all wires through iron conduits about the size of ordi narv eas Dirjinsr. The Overton Con struction company stated when asked to give some idea of the probable cost of installing a svstem ot wiring as mentioned, said that they would be un able to eive an estimate off-hand and that it would take at least a week to arrive at an approximately correct es timate. The Jordan Electrical Con struction company thought the proba ble cost would be in the neighborhood of $2,000. It is stated that if the conduit sys tem is adopted the cost would be pro bably about $700 to $S00. Mandamus Is Denied. Washington, Jan. 13.

It should be it I Brown of Brown Wants It to Be Made a IVnitentiary Offense. made stronger. The man who rears up in bed and covers a burglar with a six shooter, thus scaring that worthy night worker out of the house and a year's growth, should be burned at the stake. Anyone who has looked In at the busi- creeping through the top of his hat will agree with Mr. Brown of Brown that it is a terrible sensation. The law will have another good effect. It will thin out the population. At present it is a penitentiary offense to kill a man, but under certain circumstances it is justifiable and the penalty is much lighter than that provided by Mr. Brown of Brown for simply covering the person and scaring him away. When his law is passed, we will all keep it in mind, and when we have oc casion to protect ourselves against thugs and others, we will no doubt shoot the candidate for trouble and close the incident. As the law is now, we might point a gun at him, tell him to "git," and spare his worthless life. Bills like the one presented by Mr. Brown of Brown frequently arise from a remembrance of injured feelings. There are no cowboys up in Brown county, Missouri, where they never produced anything of note except Ewing Herbert, but it may be that in days past, Mr. Brown of Brown grazed for a brief time in the far west. Perchance, at that time, some restive nerder or beer, desirous of a little entertainment, caused Mr. Brown of Brown to dance the High land Fling. An incident if this kind would naturally rankle in the breast of a man like Mr. Brown of Brown, who has no saving sense of humor. and after biding his time and nursing his grievance for many years, he comes into power and proceeds to eliminate the simple sport and pas time of the cowboy. Now if Mr. Brown of Brown would rehash his bill to read: "An act making it a penitentiary offense to point unloaded firearms at any person" he would have the en dorsement of the world. The loaded gun is always in complete control of the operator, but the unloaded shoot ing iron is a menace to civilization and small children. Mr. Hackney from Cowley county has stirred up the insects. He wants to investigate the state officials and see if their accounts are straight.

They're Very Tame This year the great clothing: stunts which usu ally break loose in J anuary in this city,agonizing over Clearance Sales and Inventory Sales and Mid-Winter Sales, Forced Sales and Distress Sales and Red Banner Sales, and all that far fetched display that tends to give the town a black eye, just when the Legislature meets and the Mid-Winter show is in full blast, bringing many visitors from all over the state. I Our Policy Of selling at a profit for $10.00 the same Suit3 and Overcoats shown by competitors as matchless bargains, reduced from $18 and S20 to $12.50 Bpecial, makes it difficult for grafters to thrive in Topeka. The people tire of the endless blow and bluster about Bargain Giving and Price Reducing, because they read in Sep tember, October, November and December, every day the same story about $20, $22.50 and $25 values for $15, and now they are offered $18 and $20 values for about $12.48 but bargain stores are deserted and lonely in flation bluster and schemes are not the easy graft of bygone days. Better trade with a store that sells goods above cost you're safer, and better satisfied. f Watch Us Grow. Watch Our Business Methods Win. Gen.

He Has Cost His Churcli a Lot of Money. Reading, Pa., Jan. 13. Something of a sensation has been created by the publication of the letter from Rev. Dr. I. N. W. Irvine to the board of inquiry named by Bishop Tuttle, to consider the presentment filed against Bishop Talbot of the diocese of cen tral Pennsylvania. None of the members of the board saw the letter until they read it in the newspapers. None of the men who are charged by Dr. Irvine with being prejudiced against him would discuss his letter for publication. Their friends, how ever, declare the attack upon them to be entirely unjustifiable. Mr. Butler of Mauch Chunk, one of the members of the board, said: "Mr. Irvine's proposition to waive the canonical requirement and have a public meeting: of the board of In quiry is absvird. Neither he, the board, nor Bishop Tuttle himself would have authority to do this. The canon re quire that the board must meet in executive session and the only thing for the board to do is to obey the canon. Personally, I can only re iterate what I said last Tuesday; namely, that I am opposed to any thing that savors of a 'star chamber' proceeding and if I had my way even the meetings of the house of bishops would be public." Captain P. R. Seteson, treasurer of the diocese of central Pennsylvania, said today: "When I Raid that Dr. Irvine has cost the diocese too much money I meant just what I said. I have never met the gentleman personally and know nothing of him except what I have read and heard. But in the trials in which he has already partici pated, the diocese of central Pennsyl vania has had to foot the bills. That is my grievance against him and I wish the whole matter was ended." Barn Destroyed Near Americns. Emporia. Kan.. Jan. 13 Fire destroy ed the barn on the G. H. Lamb farm. near Americus, together with 13 head of horses and all farming Implements. The horses were taken from the burn ing structure but became panic strick en and rushed back into the fiaw.es. The bam was built last summer at a cost of $1,500. The total loss will be over $4,000, partly covered by insurance. Several days ago a farmer living near the Lamb place had a tramp arrested for building a fire in his barn after night and' it is probable that this fire was due to that cause. Mme. Gerard Is Dead.

"It was way hack in the '80s when they were still working placer dirt on Tiger crick an' weighin' out gold dust for plug terbacker in Grosenbeck's store that I saw Pink-Eye Simpson take, water," said the old prospector in the Chicago News. "He wasn't ad dicted to them potations an I don't know that anybody ever gave him a subsequent Invite to the same without qualifyin' fer the central rigger in a coroner's inquest. Still Pink-Eye took water oncet. "A feller blew In with a sloppy Chinook along one December. The boys wus congregated in Grosenbeck'3 in the Iront part. He kep' his bar in front an' his store in the rear, so's ter ketch 'em goin' an' comin'. When the feller fust come in we all took him fer a kid. He was all bundled up in a little buffalo coat an. had a fur cap pulled down over his ears. I don't reckon he was much more'n four foot high an' when he got that coat shuck ed an' his cap pulled off there wasn't a great deal left of him. But he wus a man a mighty weazened, sour faced, red-nosed, red-eyed, hump backed runt, but he had got his growth. He looked around him as fierce as an enraged chipmunk an' then walked up to the bar an' called fer a drink. "Grosenbeck grinned as he set the bottle out. I reckon we all smiled some, he looked so sorter redickerlous. "What's amusin' you?' squeaks the lit tle man. 'Maybe you find my per s'nal appearance a subjec' o' mirth?' 'I wus smilin' because I was hap py,' says Grosenbeck, quite meek. 'You've prob'ly skinned somebody good an' plenty, then,' says the little man, pourin' out a bath an' lowerin' it scientific. 'That't the rottenest Imi tation o' licker ever I run acrost. Anybody that'd accuse you o' sellin' whisky would be a liar. Don't look cross-eyed at me, you fat-faced hip popotamus. Charge that ter Mr. Wal 11s. That's my name, an' I'm goin' ter take up my residence In this yer camp.' "Now, Grosenbeck wasn't no slouch when It come ter resentin' an insult, an' he ginerally took a prelim'nary re quest fer credit as an insult for bar goods. I've seen him make a mighty rapid showing with a gun an' conduc' himself creditably in a free-fer-all rough-an'-tumble. But he didn't make no hostile plays that time, whatsoever. He jest looked at the little sawed-off wisp fer a moment an' then he says: 'Your credit's good. Mr. Wallis. Glad ter be favored with your custom. Have another with me.' 'I'll wait till I'm better acquainted with you afore I drink with you,' says Mr. Wallis. He went out. We watched him lead his mule back along the hill to Billy Thorsen's cabin, which Billy was off on a prospectin' trip in the Crazy Loon range. Derned if he didn't kick in the door an' carry In his plunder. "Grosenbeck had been swallerin' hard, which was his way when ager tated. 'What is a man goin' ter do with a venermous peanut-built rack o' skin an' bones like that?' he says. 'I could squeeze the breath o life out of him with my finger an' thumb. 'Like hittin' a six months kid a belt fer bawlin'.' says he a few min utes later, gnawin' the ends of his must ash. "Next day Mr. Wallis Jumped Danny Cassidy's claim an' began de velopment work. Danny went up with a Winchester ter run him off an' comes back thankful that Mr. Wallis had let him keep the gun. Then he diverted the water the thaw had started from Gillicuddy's flumes. "The time he made Pink-eye Simp son take water wus when Pink-eye started out on his spring saturation. Mr. Wallis wus in at Grosenbeck's se lectln' his weekly grub supply when Pink, not seein' him, on account of him bein' hid behind a length o' stove pipe, called everybody to the bar. "Any son-of-a-gun who hangs back '11 be made too leaky to hold licker,' he yells. "Mr. Wallis heard him an' emerged from behind the stovepipe an' strut tin' up ter Pink-eye, 'Do I understand that this invite is compuls'ry?' he asks. 'Have I got ter drink because a human hyena with a skinful of alcoholic swill an' a cryin' need of a, hair-cut makes a bluff at homicidal mania?' 'Not if you'd prefer not to," says Pink-eye. 'I'd esteem it an honor, but I don't insist on it. My remarks were in a sperrit o' jocularity. 'You've a poor sense o' humor,' says Mr. Wallis. 'You're enough of a joke yourself without spoilin' it by talkin'! A man who'd drink with you would git down Into a trough an' eat with hogs." "That's what he said to Pink-Eyed Th only high grade Bakingr Powder made at a moderate price. f !f it IIP! J I I pit I fit n r nn-7A fNH si UJsJ Afi3 -fr- PULL AN A, T.

An he acted In that outragis way' fer nigh on ter three months. "It went up until finally Grosenbeck, who'd been picked up on more'n usual one evenin', said he'd be everlastingly hornswoggled if he'd stand it any long er. 'See here, Mr. Wallis." he says, 'I'm through with you, I make no unkind erlusions ter misfortunit contoor and porportions; were they otherwise you would not have lastedJive minutes af ter you struck thi3 camp. I'm not a goin' ter jump on you an' grind ye inte the floor an' I'm not a-goin' ter break yer in two, me bein' a full-size man, but I'm goin' ter take you acrost my knee an' spank you, like a mean young one. In this I have the full approval of the camp.' "With that he reached ror Mr. wal lis. But Mr. Wallis wasn't there. He was extractin' a pick handle from a barrel an' the nex' minit that pick han dle come into contact with Groesen beck's cranium an' laid him out. 'You all approve, do you?' yells Mr. Wallis, an' here he comes at us witn tne pics handle. He got four of us. The rest of us left abrupt. "We come to our senses in about five minutes all but Grosenbeck and with the reerlization that the pore remnant of humanity wus able ter take his own part in a game o' physical vi'lence we made a rush fer Billy Thorsen's cabin ter get him. He wusn't in. When Tom Gillicuddv went ter feed his horse next mornin' the only good horse In camp the horse wasn't in, either, 'mat was the last we ever saw o' Mr. Wallis." A MYSTERY SOLVED. The Long Disappearance of Owen Kelly Is Strange Case. New York, Jan. 13. Rivaling Rob ert Louis Stevenson's weird tale of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" is the true story of the life, character, and final disappearance of Owen Kelly of Phil adelphia, church worker, temperance leader, manufacturer, director or tne rv,r.tinorai Title Sr. Trust company, merchant, philanthropist, patriot, club memher and Drominent citizen. All this was the Owen Kelly who dropped out of sight on the "night of October 25 last. Since ther the other side of his character has been reveal ed. His friends have found that there was another Owen Kelly a night nrowler. a roamer in the Blums, a maudlin, insensate, fearsome thing, the incarnation of the Mr. Hyde of which Stevenson dreamed, but witn out Hvde's criminal tendencies. Mr. Kelly disappeared from Phila delphia on October 25. No one knows where ho is. but he i3 believed to be in this city. He was seen here as rerentlv apt December 22 by Edward Dalv. a traveling salesman. Mr. Daly met Kelly in Third avenue. They had a nleasant chat for half an hour. Daljl did not know at the time that Kelly was reported missing. The Owen Kelly his friends knew was a shrewd, careful business man. The Owen Kellv his friends did not know was mentally irresponsible for anvthinsr he did. In explanation of the disappearance and the actions that preceded it, Mr. Kelly's friends, and he has a legion both in Philadelphia and this city, at tribute them to a mental disease which camo to a climax about a year ago. At that time he was confined to his room for more than a month, and was under treatment in the University of Pennsvlvania hospital for about six weeks. All this time he was In abso lute darkness, the physicians forbid-lino- even candle light in the room While his eves were most affected, it is believed this affection was but th manifestation of a more serious dis order nfOctiner his mind. He disappeared from Philadelphia as mysteriously as tnougn me earui nari Rwallowed him. on the night oV October 25- Since then his friends have had search instituted for him In this country, Europe- ana Australia, without avail. Although he was sup- nnapH to be wealthy, scarcely a penny rmnfns of his money. On the other hand, an inactive bank account in the Continental Title ana irusi company rt the. welcome textile mills of Phila delphia, in which he and Daniel Wade ot-o nortners has only $125 to the credit of the firm, instead of about $50,000 that should be there. Mr. Kelly was the only one authorized to withdraw tVi monev. Kelly's cousin, Francis Mulgrew, of Columbus avenue ana sevenuein street, this city, has also presented his claim for $22,000 which he says the missing man owes him. It appears tvnm hia statement that at the time was advocating the cause of tmnproni-(! in national and state con ventions he was virtually a partner in Mulgrew's saloon, in Columbus ave nue. On top of these revelations comes the story of Kelly's periods of trans formation from high and useful citi zenship into an unreasoning, aimless roamer in the slums 01 great cities. Thia oart of the sad story waa learned through cross examining hun dreds of criminals and tenderloin fre- ouenters in this city and Philadelphia. Hospitals, police stations, houses of letentlon, rescue iiuomuus, muisuca, dives, hotels of high and low degree, sailors' boarding houses, and ships have been searched for him in vain. When all this inquiry was found to be fruitless, the aid of the best de tectives in this country was invoked bv his friencs. The sleuths put microscopes on the missing man's ac tions and habits for the last score of vears and in the astounding revela tions unearthed by them they say they have found the explanation or tne mystery. What the detectives found however. Is insisrnificant when com pared with the find made by Kelly's friends and business associates when search was made of the missing man's SfCv 1 FOfl effects.

10 THE TOPEKA STATE JOUENAIi, FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 13, 1905. WAR f.lUST GO on. sian Government About to Make Irrevocable Decision. :ed out is vital, and ible if the work is j ly in the hands of y St Petersburg-, Jan. 13. The gov rnmtnt seemingly is about to make tne irrevocable decision that prestige broad and the situation at home necessitate the continuation of the war till peace with dignity is possible. Beyond this point, however, no con firmation exists, especially regarding the immediate development of the in terior situation. Emperor Nicholas is still apparently vacillating as to whether he shall allow M. Witte full way, in the meantime declining to permit Prince Sviatopok-Mirsky to retire. The latter persists in the view that the confidence of the people in the manner in which the reform man ifesto is to be worked out is vital, and that this is impossi to be left complete the bureaucrats. Direct consultation "with representatives of the classes in terested he considers inconsistent. Prince Sviatopolk-JIirsky's retire ment from the ministry of the interior continues to be considered as only a inatter of a short time, although there is seeming evidence that the emperor hopes by temporizing to avoid the necessity of concentrating the reins of power in the hands of M. Witte. IShould a real storm break, however, no one doubts that II. Witte is the one Btrong man in sight who can be called j.' to The bridge. The lack of cohesion and alignment of j the forces opposed to existing state of i r Hiiit;s hiiu tijuxuJii uislium oi eacn otrier 3 programme seem to make anything ap proaching actual revolution at the pres ent time unworthy of serious considera tion. Socialists, revolutionists and other extreme elements as well as the subject races on the borders of Russia all have different objectives with which the con servative liberals whom the government really hope to appease have little in eom Ktrrn and above all Russia's unnumbered millions of peasants, although they have wjajilfested an abhorrence of war, prin cipally for economic reasons and because it takes their loved ones away have given Almost no evidence of having been stirred by the prevailing political agitation. Dem nstration and e' en disorders on a large ecaie in the centers of population are re garded by the authorities as possible, ac companied by a recurrence of terrorism by hose who believe the bomb is the only Weapon with which they can fight abso lutism. This last is really considered the likeliest and most deplorable possibility in the near future. Kor the moment, how ever, all is quiet in the interior, the peo ple seemingly being absorbed with the Christmas holidays. No further disorders ha-e occurred in connection with mobilization, the only ac tive movement of any sort noted being demonstrations at Nijni Novogorod and Moscow, both confined to meetings of school professors who took advantage of the occasion to protest against the disa tMiitiea under which they declared the staffs of the university labored and who adopted resolution in favor of reform on the line of recent Zemstvos memorial, but roing further than the emperor's manifes to. The meeting at Nijni Xovogorod was dispersed by the police and several per- ons outside the hall were injured, but none of them seriously. i 1 An m I 23c 27c Mu -V g. 4m W3r incuse Crowd Bargains That ShouM sic, 15c This Sale Ends Tomorrow Night It has been the greatest sheet music sale this store has ever held the biggest bargains that this store ever offered in sheet music have been on sale the past week.
