Sketch of the Career of an Al ways Busy Man. Walter X. Allen, former chairman Of the state board of charities and originator of the idea of a Farmers' Trust, died at his home in Meriden, Jefferson county, at 3 o'clock this morninj after several months of severe Buffering from rheumatism. The fun eral services will take place tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock. Interment will be made in Meriden cemetery. .Jv ;t,i Kill ft d.A ''1,1 ''V The Late Walter X. Allen. Walter N. Allen was born in Halifax county. North Carolina, March 1, 1S34. His father was James V. Allen who was a merchant of considerable prom inence. Walter X. Allen was educated at Wake Forest college, North Caro lina. On leaving college he entered Battles' law school at Chapel Hill in that state, where he gave considerable time to the study of his chosen pro fession, and on his admission to the bar, started into practice in his native village. In IS 3 7 he moved to Kan sas, settling in Jefferson county where he has been a resident ever since. In 1S5S he was appointed county attorney nd was re-elected the ensuing year. In 1S63 he was appointed clerk of the district c-iurt of Jefterson county -by William McDowell, judge, of the first Judicial district of Kansas. In 1865 he was elected as a member of the Kansas house of representatives. In this position he was an active and able opponent of the appropriation of 500, 000 acres of land, which had been do nated to Kansas by the government, in nil of railroads, taking the ground that these lands were reserved by the state constitution for the support of the common schools. In 1867 he was elected to the position of clerk of Jef ferson county. During his term of of fice the board of county commissioners submitted a joint proposition to the people of Jefferson county for subscrip tions to the capital stock, and the is suance of bonds therefor to the amount of $300,000 in equal propor tions to the Atchison, Topeka and San ta Fe and the Atchison, Oskaloosa and Lawrence railroads, and the board de clared the proposition carried, ordering Mr. Allen as county clerk to make the entry subscribing to the stock of those railroads "vhich he absolutely refused to do. Legal proceedings were com menced against him and he was re manded to jail. He still resolutely per sisted in his refusal, in consequence of which he was not only kept in jail but removed from office. This delay en abled the people to get out injunc tion proceedings restraining the county board or any other officer from sub scribing to such stock or issuing such bonds. This patriotic, heroic deter mination saved the county from finan cial ruin and bankruptcy and justly gave Mr. Allen the credit of honor nb!y discharging his duty to the peo ple regardless of personal con sequences. In the bitter contest that ensued in the perisstent attempts of the railroad companies to secure bond3 Mr. Allen took an active part, organiz ing a political party in opposition. He took the stump In advocacy of cnadidates for 'county commissioners who were elected on this alone in de fiance of the regular nominees of the Republican party which then had a majority of about 70 0 in the county. In 1SS2 he transferred his attention to the newspaper business securing an in terest in the Topeka Democrat and through the instrumentality of which he contributed largely to the election of G. W. Glick as governor. After the election Mr. Allen, with his associates, purchased the State Journal, at that time a Greenback paper. The two pa pers were then combined. Later financial difficulties overtook the managment and the paper went in to the hands of a receiver after a vicarious career of two years, Allen be ing appointed receiver in 1SS4. The pa per afterwards in 1SS5 passed into the hands of the present management. With the exception of chairman of the state board of charities during the Populistic state regime under Governor Leweliing in 1S93-94 Allen held no pub lic office following his retirement from newspaper life. During Cleveland's first administration he made an active can vass for the office of T'nited States marshal but was narrowly defeated by a Leavenworth man. Mr. Allen's name will be remembered most strongly in connection with his formation and promotion of a hoped-to-be gigantic farmers' trust with a capitalization of 120.000,000. The idea embodied in the organization was the creation of a combination among the farmers through which the products of the farms were to be held back from the market until they could be profit ably disposed of. Acting in conjunction with this scheme was to be the organiz ation of a string of great commission houses situated at the centers of trade which were to handle these products of the soil, to be marketed. The commis sion houses were likewise to be under the control and management of the til 1 ere of the soil. The idea was first start ed on its round of discussion by Mr. Allen along in 18S8 and was revived at varying intervals and received new im petus by some new statements made. Rr 3 7 The whole scheme was finally allowed to lapse, and nothing has been heard of it for several years past. The present co-operative gram association, in wnicn C. B. Hoffman of Enterprise is largely interested, is an outgrowth of the agi tation which was precipitated by Allen and his farmers' trust. The co-operative grain association is made up of a number of farmers and others with a string of elevators through the grain belt of Kansas and a sales office at Kansas City. Recently Mr. Allen has remained at his home in Meriden traveling between that point and his farm situated five miles east in Jefferson county. He has been a great suffering from rheumatism for several years. Mr. Allen was mar ried to Miss Jennie Walker of Clinton county, New York, who together with his eon, Pope W. Allen, survives him. CASINO BURNS. 7. Famous 'ew York Theater De stroyed by Fire. Lillian Russell's Company Was Occupying the House. New York. Feb. 11. The Casino theater burned today. There was nj audience In the house at the time the fire started, but the Lady Teazle company was rehearsing. Several members of the company Were obliged to jump to the street from windows. The fire burned through the entire balcony, reached the stage, broke through the roof. Every one escaped from the theater without serious injury. One chorus girl was slightly hurt and the stage carpenter was overcome by smoke, but was taken out in safety. The building is a total loss. The fire gained great headway owing to insufficient water pressure. The Lady Teazle company which has been playing at the Casino for some weeks is headed by Lillian Russell. The theater is a large brick building at the corner of Broadway and Thirty-ninth street. It was built in the eighties and was famous for a long time as the home of the Aronson musical comedies. The auditorium in the house is one story above the street level and is reached by a winding staircase. This fact makes it doubly fortunate that there was no audience in the house when the fire started. The house was under the man- agement of Shubert Brothers and had a seating capacity of 1,200. Lillian Russell was not in the house at the time of the fire. The chorus girl hurt, slipped on the stairway on leav ing the building, fell and broke her leg. Her name is Anna Hart. The stage carpenter hurt was John Teaney. He revived in the open air and was not in a serious condition. The fire started in the dressing room on the third floor over the stage. About 40 chorus girls had just left the stage to make a change of costume for the rehearsal of another scene. They were crowding up the narrow stairs to the dressing room, when a volume or smoke rolled down the stairway. The shrieking back to the stage and towards the exits. The stage manager made an I ineffectual effort to calm them. The fire spread rapidly from one dressing rnnm to another romrminirn ted itself I to the scenery, thence to the auditorium t and inside of 20 minutes the whole in terior of the theater was on fire. All the members of the company with the exception ot Miss Russell herself were on the stage or in the dressing rooms when the fire staited. The firemen after a hard fight got the blaze under control. The theater itself is ruined. The Casino is in the heart of the upper Broadway section, familiarly known as the Rialto, and the lire immediately attracted an enormous crowd. The crowd filled Broad way for blocks in either direction, ex tending from Thirty-fourth street as far north as Forty-second, hampering the work of the firemen. The lrge number of police who were hurried lo the scene were unable to clear the streets. THE BOND ELECTION. Topeka Will Vote on Monday on Via duct Proposition.

Supreme Court Decides the "Grocery Bill" Case. Decides That MaintenanceDidn't Mean Food. COLEMAN OVERRULED. Position of Attorney General Is Overthrown. Nothing Said About Returning the Money. Action of the Supreme Court Is Unanimous. The supreme court today handed down a decision denying the appli cation of ex-Governor Bailey for a writ of mandamus to compel T. T. Kelly, treasurer of the state of Kansas, to countersign a warrant for $162.89, issued by the auditor of the state. The decision of the sunreme court was that it was unconstitutional to tv, pay the bill for food used at the ex- ecutive residence, and sustains the treasurer in holding up the payment of the last voucher for such supplies presentetd by Governor Bailey. The decision of the supreme court overrules the decision of Attorney vrcnerai oieman, wno neia mai gov- ernor Bailey's use of ance fund was legal. the mainten- "The decision does not stipulate that it is expected that any part of the money used by Governor Bailey for that purpose be returned to the state. The precedent established by the non return of the salaries and moneys ex pended in the support of the court of visitation, which was dissolved on account of its unconstitutionality will prevail The decision was written by Judge Mason, the other judges concurring. The decision says: "The act of 1903 appropriating money for maintaining the executive residence does not authorize the em ployment of any part of the sum so appropriated for the purchase of pro visions to be used there. If given such construction the act would to that ex tent be in contravention of a consti tutional prohibition against increasing the compensation of the governor during his term of office and there fore void. The refusal of the treasurer to countersign the warrant is based upon al cavalry which was posted about the the contention that the law does noti Viborg district, r. authorize the payment by the state of j strike Extends, any amount whatever for food used at! C4. urf,TO 11 t in m the executive residence and nJk-l ,.tfn. nmn 5 for m inatlom

"The original act appropriated to the executive council $33,000 for the purchase, furnishing and equipment of such a residence and $2,000 for 'maintaining and repairing it for two years. That maintaining as there used had no reference to supplying food is manifest. There is nothing in the context to suggest it. The enumer- ation of things to be provided by the state including furniture, carpets, utensils, light and heat, warrants the inference that if food had been in contemplation it would have been specifially mentioned. "The same word 'maintaining' used in the act of 1903 in the same connection should not be given a different mean ing unless in virtue of some extraenous meaning. "The increase in the governor's sal ary may perhaps be attributed to a be lief that upon an official income of $3, 000 a year support an establishment as his official home in a manner thought to be suited to the reasonable require ments of his position, and it may pos sibly be inferred that the legislature, realizing that no change in his com pensation at once, sought as a tempor ary expedient, to meet the immediate demands of the situation by placing in his hands a sum of $2,000 a year with the design that a part of it should be expended in his discretion for expenses Incident to the fulfillment of his social obligation and to the exercise of the civilities expected from him at the head of the state government. These consid erations certainly have a tendency in the direction suggested. Yet they are not so forcible as plainly to compel the conclusion indicated and to place the question of the meaning of the act be yond all controversy." The court then cites the constitutional provision prohibiting the increase or de crease of the governor's salary during his term of office. The decision says: "It requires no argument to demonstrate that a sub stantial increase in the compensation of an official' is accomplished by placing at his disposal an additional sum for the purchase of food to be used at his residence by himself, his family and his guests, even although such sum may not exceed the amount by which his household expenses are increased by the practice of the social amenities ap propriate to his position, where there is no separation of the expenditures to be made in the ordinary course of his do mestic life and those incurred in the exercise of what might be classed as public and official hospitality. If a sum were set apart to be used for specific entertainments authorized to be given at the public expense a different ques tion would be presented. But that is not the case here. "It has been held that where the constitution forbids an increase in the compensation of an official during the term for which he has been elected, an allowance may be made for the in cidental expenses of his office and that additional payment may even be made to him for the performance of new duties imposed which are not germane to his office. The argument made that the allowance of a sustainence fund may be justified as a mere provision for the expense of performing a newly imposed duty, even if otherwise ten able, fails at two points. In the first place there is no legal duty resting upon the governor to do any amount of entertaining at the executive resi dence or even occupy it at all. "In the second place, whatever these obligations may be. they existed in 1S01. while the salary of the erovernor was fixed at $3.0i'O without additional allow ance for any expenses incidental to their fulfillment. Consequently for the state in to hRve nssumed liability for tho naymont of piieh expenses would have been to increase the lompensation of the govemn:- dunrg the term for which he was elected. It cannot be supposed that Niis was the purpose of the legislature, since it would ha a been in violation of the constitution, and it must be held that 33 IpLLED, Result of Encounter Between Troops and Strikers. Fifty Thousand Men Are Out in Sosnovice District. SOCIETY OF IRON MEN Sends Memorial on Labor Ques tion to Minister Witte. Declare That Repressive Meas ures Will Not Stop Trouble. Lodz, Feb. 11. The governor in an in terview with the correspondent of the Associated Press today said: "My official reports from Sosnovice show 3J persons were killed and 36 wounded, 18 of whom Were seriously hurt in the conflict at the Katherinen Iron works cn Thursday. The trouble began when a large body of striking miners tried to force the. furnace men of the iron works to put out the fire3 and join the strike. The mob became violent, broke down a fence and forced an entrance into the works which were uara! Dy lw? comaames or mrantry. The officers ordered the crowd to leave but tney refuseci. Suddenly a striker drew a large knife and rushed at an officer. The soldiers then fired on the mob which immediately fled, leaving j the dead and wounded." The governor added that no other shooting had been reported and that nuiet had been restored in the city. There are TO.OCO men on strike in the4roa3 laws: Sosnovice district. St Petersburg, Feb. 11.

The weather bureau reports show that the third gen eral snow storm within the last 10 days has set in over Kansas and Nebraska and the lower Missouri and the upper Mississippi valleys. The storms, ac companied by considerable snow and an extreme cold snap, continue in the middle Rocky mountain region, the nearest approach to the present condi tions there having occurred in Febru ary, 1S99. The first cold wave of the season has overspread Idaho, eastern Oregon and eastern Washington. The forecasts today announce that the tem peratures will moderate slowly in the northern districts.

Prohibits Use of Passes by Commissioners. Also Gives Them the Right to Fix Rates. Peace reigns in the Kansas house of representatives on the question of rail road legislation. Speaker Stubbs and the administration leaders have agreed to withdraw their opposition to railroad legislation provided the Garver bill is substituted for the Plumb bill, and the shippers of the state have consented to the change. This afternoon the railroad commit tee reported the Garver bill to the house as a substitute for the Plumb bill, with, the recommendation that it be passed. These are the principal changes which the Garver bill makes in existing rail- Gives the board the right to take up. investigate and change any existing rate, tariff, schedule, classification, rule or order issued by a railroad company, and enforce its changes in the courts. Provides that members of the board shall not receive any free passes for themselves or their friends, under pen alty of forfeiture of office and a heavy fine. Gives the governor the right to fill vacancies on the board, instead of the executive council. The bill was read a second time, and made a special order for committee of the whole for Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock. This puts the railroad bill in ahead of the state refinery bill, which is set for Wednesday afternoon. The reason for this move Is to satisfy some of the members who demand that the railroad legislation-be .given preference over the oil legislation. It is expected to strengthen the vote for the state oil re finery. Up to the final capitulation of the "administration" forces, they have in sisted that this is not the time for any radical railroad legislation. Speaker Stubbs has given the members of the house and the railroad committee to understand that he would fight the t I i m n nm wnpn ir rnma i speaiter btuDbs and Governor Hoch but they also think that thev will have a better chance -to get their bill through the senate. The Garver bill was prepared by Judge T. F. Garver of Topeka. It is considerably shorter than the Plumb bill, and is not quite so drastic in its terms, though it provides for nearly everything which the shippers consider essential. J. H. Richards, attorney for the Mis souri Pacific says: "The Garver bill is practically the same thing as the Plumb bill, except that the Garver bill has a few roses in among the thorns." While the Plumb bill was an entire ly new piece of legislation, the Garver bill is more In the nature of an amend- ment of existing laws, and the addition of a few vital sections, Prohibits Passes. While th Prnt law requires the Kof "the bo? 'Jfrn"1" l Ln t?mm,s- lMflrtrn if Pr" niDits the board from receiving passes. i board w.oen it is on the wing. The fol- i w iuc oc.Ltuii ul une ijl w covcr- I ing that point: Section 3 of the act provides It shall be unlawful for any commission er, secretary or employe of said board to receive, or apply for, any free trans portation,, reduced rate for transporta tion, or any other perquisite, gift, or emolument form any railroad com pany for himself or for any other per son, during the term of his office." The penalty is forfeiture of office and a fine of from $50 to $1,000. The members of the board and the employes shall receive his actual traveling expenses while away from Topeka. Regulation of Rates. Regulation of rates is of course the vital feature of the whole matter. The bill gives the board of railroad com missioners power to investigate rates. either upon its own volition, or at the; request of any person. It does not provide for a complete revision of ex isting schedules, as did the Plumb bill, but leaves it to the board to make any changes where error exists. The im portant changes are embodied in sec tion 9 of the bill. Section 9 says: "It shall be the; duty of the commissioners carefully to examine all schedules of rates, tariffs, charges and classifications as well as! all rules and regulations made and published by the railroad companies operating lines of road in this state for the purpose of being fully inform ed as to their scope and nature, and if the board shall at any time have reason to believe that any tariffs, rates, charges or classifications, or any rules or regulations of any rail road company as to the handling of cars or the running of trains are un reasonable, discriminative or in any way violative of the laws of this state, or of the acts of congress for the regulation of Interstate commerce, it shall direct the. attention of such rail road company to the matter wherein such violation may consist and re quest its correction. If such correc tion be not made within ten days after such railroad company has no tice of such request, the board shall forthwith notify such company that at a certain time and place a hearing will be had upon the matters involved in such request; and at the time and place named the board shall proceed to hear and determine the matters In volved in such request and make all necessary orders with reference there to the same as if such hearing had been had upon a formal complaint filed -nrith the board." If any person makes a complaint to the board in regard to any freight rate, th board shall investigate the complain in above described manner, and when the board has once estab lished a rate or tariff, the railroad company is prohibited from raising it without the consent of the board. When the board calls in witnesses, the witness fee of $1.50 a day and 5 cents mileage will be paid. The claim of a witness that evidence will in criminate him will not excuse him from testifying, but evidence thus se cured shall not be used against him. If the rates fixed by the board are not adopted within 30 days, the board can begin action through the attorney general to jnforee its order. Can Investigate Through Kates. Section 7 of the bill says: The board of railroad commissioners shall have the power and it fs hereby made its duty to investigate all through freight rates on railroads in Kansas, and when the same are, in the opin ion of the board excessive, or levied or laid in violation of the interstate commerce law, or the rules and regu lations of the interstate commerce commission, the officials of the said railroad shall be notified of the facts and requested to ruduce rates, or make the proper corrections, as the case may be. When the rates are not changed or the proper corrections not made, according to the request, the board of railroad commissioners shall notify the interstate commerce com mission and apply to it for relief. The railroads are required within 30 days after the taking affect of the act on its publication in the official state paper, to furnish the board with all of their schedules of rates and classifications, all copies of rules con cerning switching and transfers, and other matters, and shall also furnish the new schedules as they appear. Failure to do this is punishable by a fine of from $100 to $1000 for each day that such failure continue. THE LASTJSTRAW Action of Standard Intensifies the Feeling. Legislators Say They Won't Be Bulldozed. If anything was needed to "clinch" a victory for a state oil refinery, it was probably the action of the Standard Oil company in refusing to buy any more Kansas oil. Members of the house who have here tofore been opposed to a state refinery are coming our in favor of a state re finery because they will not stand the bulldozing tactics of the Standard. "IS the Standard thinks that Kansas people are not lighters," said A. G. Mead of Mitchell, one of the strongest opponents of the state refinery in the, house, "they are badly mistaken. But at the same time, 1 know that the Standard is a fighter, too, and it will stand by its bluff. I realize that the people of my county are largely in fa vor of a state oil refinery, and I sup pose the same condition exists through out the state." Mr. Mead this morning received a telegram from one of his close friends at home, urging him to get right on the state refinery proposition, and inform ing him that a big petition was on its way, asking him to support the state refinery. J. S. Simmons, of Lane, said this morning: "I was not much of a state refinery man until I read of the action of the Standard in refusing to buy our oil. I am beginning to think that a state refinery would be a pretty good thing, after all." A. R. Clark, speaker pro tem of the house said: "I don't know just what effect this move of the Standard will have on the house, but I think there is no doubt that the state refinery bill will pass." C. D. Jones, of Norton, says: "If the Standard thought that this move would scare out the Kansas legislature, it will have to guess agrin. It will have the opposite effect. The legislature will tell the Standard to get out of the state and stay out. We will run the business ourselves. I don't think that the ap propriation will have to be increased." C. O. Nelson says: "This is a big Standard Oil bluff. They do not intend to leave the state. It will simply have the effect of making unanimous the sentiment for a state refinery." W. M. Kinnison says: "You can coax the average Kansan, but you can't drive him. This action by the Standard will bring the members of the legislature into line for a state oil refinery." W. A. Elstun says: "It will bring over the doubtful members, and strengthen the oil refinery cause." A. M. Sourbeer says: "This thing is making friends for the state refinery faster than anything that has hap pened yet. The legislature will not let even the Standard Oil company bulldoze it." A. H. Lupfer says: "I do not think the standard's action will have the ef fect of terrifying the members. This legislature seems disposed to listen to the voice of the people, and the people of Kansas want this question to be given a thorough trial, regardless ofi what kind of a bluff the Standard may PUThere seems to be a great rush to get into the bandwagon of leadership-! The State Journal announced that W. A Elstun of Elk made the mction in! the house Friday to refer the oil re-: finery question to the committee of the whole house. C. O. Nelson of Neosho J j r ie r,f Norton also claim the honor. The probability is that all three members were on the floor, and each made the motion.

President Holliday Inaugurates Era of Expansion. DELIVERS AN ADDRESS. Tells How Organization Can Help the City. Importance of Natural Gas and Interurban Hallways. The most important feature of the meeting of the Topeka Commercial club on Friday night was the admission of 54 new members, the largest number taken In at any time since the forma tion of the organization. The neaiest approach to this figur was three years ago, when 36 were ta ken in at one meeting about March 1. A special canvass was made at that time to increase the membership and It was successful. The large number taken in last night is almost directly due to the efforts of President C. K. Holliday. When he ac cepted the presidency. Just a month ago today, he said that he would bring in one hundred new members during the year. It looks as if he will either have short working hours or will bring in several hundred members if he main tains the pace he has set. The new members are as follows: Eugene Hagan, lawyer. A. F.

It follows in full: "With nothing but a high sky as a natural resource, and nothing but the energy, grit and nerve of her citizens to rely upon to push her to the front in these strenuous days It behooves every well wisher of Topeka to get in line, put his shoulder to the wheel and do what he can for his city. "The Commercial club is the only agency through which concerted action can be had. Hence, every business man, every professional man, and every young man with ambitions, every true friend of Topeka should be a member of this club. No business man and no professional man can afford to stand aloof, for in looking after the city's j welfare he is attending strictly to his own business. The busiest men ir, To peka's commerical world are the hard est workers of the Topeka Commercial club. Every member of the club has been assigned to committee work, ex cept the gentlemen wh are on the list for election tonight and we will soon find work for them to do, hence every member will be In close touch with the club work. I urge upon you to attend promptly all meetings called by tha chairman of your committee, and alS' that you attend the regular meetings of the club. The committees and club need your actual presence and your coun sel. "Our infant industries that we start in Topeka should be so hedged about, guarded and protected, that they will not find it profitable to toddle off to Kansas City as soon as they grow big enough to wear pants. If all this has not been already arranged. It is up to the transportation and manufacturers' committees to suggest effective reme dies. I recommend to the manufactur ers' and transportation committees that they take up systematically the status of every factory in Topeka to th end that a strong effective manufactures' bureau within this organization, be cre- (Continued on Page Two.)

THE TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 11, 1905. Stomach Heart Kidneys fcS jX Can- Our lives, from moment to moment, depend on a set of tiny, delicate nerves which are so small that fifteen hundred of them could lie side by side in an Inch! Ten times more tender and sensitive than the pupil of the eye! Yet, night and day. unguided and un seen, these little nerves must keep the tomach, the heart, the kidneys, in healthy action. For these oreans have no power no self control. The power te In the nerves. The nerves are the Masters. The organs are their slaves. Understand first that we have two en tirely separate nerve systems. When we walk, or talk, or act. we call into play a certain set of nerves nerves which obey our mental commands. That is why the arm can be raised, or the mouth opened, or the eye shut, at the slightest desire. That is why your fingers can delicately pick up a pin one moment, and hold a heavy hammer the next. But these are not the nerves we are to consider here. It Is the inside nerves that manage and govern and actuate the heart and the stomach, the kidneys and the liver and ail of the vital functions. You cannot control these nerves. By no su preme effort of mind can you make y'ovr heart stop or start nor can you even make it vary by a single beat a minute. And so with the stomach and the liver and the kidneys, and the towels they are automatic they do their work at a certain set speed whether you are awake or asleep whether you want them to or not. It is on these inside nerves that life end health depend. So long as these nerves perform their proper duties we are well and strong-. When they fail, we know it by the inevitable symptoms stomach, heart, liver, kidney troubles. Thus, we find that most forms of ill ness are. after all, only symptoms of the real trouble inside nerve trouble. For instance, indigestion, sour stom ach, heartburn, dyspepsia and all stom ach troubles diabetes, Bright's disease and other kidney disorders heart trou bles, liver troubles, bowel troubles, nervousness, fretfulness, sleeplessness, Irritability all of these ailments are due to this single cause. Painful, dis agreeable to be treated as such. They are merely outward signs of fnward trouble. There are different centers and branches of this inside nerve system frequently called the Sympathetic Nervous System.) But each branch is no closely connected with the others that breakdown anywhere usually means breakdown everywhere. This explains why stomach trouble develops into heart trouble why indi flUO OH THE UP GRADE. (Continued from -First Page.) ated whereby the interest of all can be advanced. "The natural gas "situation as regards Topeka is all that can be desired, pro vided legislation does not delay mat ters. Mr. Joseph J. Heim of Kansas City and associates, owners of the Con tinental Natural Gas franchise of To peka, have perfected all arrangements for the piping of gas to this city. The franchise calls for the beginning of work on or before March 1, 1905, and Mr. Heim is confident gas will be ready for distribution on or before October. The president of this club has been with Mr. Heim and his representatives on two trips to New York this winter and is in touch with all the details of this immense transaction which meani so much to our city. Let us bid hail and farewell to soft coal and dirt and welcome with open arms nature's pot ent agency that will transform Topeka almost by magic into a hustling, bust ling manufacturing city of 100,000 pop dilation within the next decade. "The Topeka. Eskridge Council Grove Interurban Railroad company have had bonds voted in aid of the enterprise covering the entire line from Council Grove to Mission town ehlp adjoining Topeka amounting to $114,500. Petitions are now being cir culated in Topeka, calling upon the mayor and council to call an election for the voting of $30,000 in bonds for terminal facilities. This new road will open up fifty miles of new territory, rich in cattle and farm products and will be of great value to oxir mer chants. The country has done its work and done it well, and it is now up to Topeka to say if it wants the road. I have no doubt but what the answer will be a unanimous vote in favor of the bonds. "The Northwest road is an assured fact, contract for the same has been let as far as Onara. This will open up a great corn country tributary to Topeka, and this coupled with the1 double tracking of the Union Pacific; road to Kansas City and the contem plated changes in the yards of that! road in the First ward, will be of! great benefit to the business and: manufacturing interests north of the! river. Your board of directors hasj through your president and secretary! opened negotiations with the author!-; ties of the Missouri Pacific railway looking toward the erection of new passenger and freight depots in To peka and better terminal facilities. The prospect is more than encourag ing. The officials of the road through Mr. Sullivan, the new general man ager, are now collecting all data bear ing on the subject and we hope soon to be able to make the announcement that this very necessary and important improvement will be completed this summer. "The New Gyrator mills. W. L. Tay lor, president, was opened with proper ceremonies in the First ward on Janu ary 24 and will doubtless prove a great factor in the milling industry of To peka. "The new north span of the Melan arch brige will be immediately built and the entire bridge repaired: con tract for the same haing already been let. "The special election called for the voting of $15,000 in bonds by the city in aid of a viaduct over the Santa Fe tracks near Branner street will be held February 13. The viaduct is to cost $4 5,00 0, one-third each to De paid Dy the Santa Fe, the street railway and! the citv. The new street railway nas done great things for Topeka, and the Santa Fe has been our long and con stant friend. Rapid transit is neces sarv and while the viaduct might work a few cases of individual hard ship, the motto, 'The greatest good to P(To ves oi losi 0.0 gestion brings on nervousness why diseases become complicated. It ex plains, too, why ordinary medical treatments are wrong why medicine so frequently fails. For, despite the discoveries of science, the common remedies of the day are designed to treat the organ, not the nerve the symptom instead of 'the cause. My Free Dollar Offer Any sick one who has not tried my remedy Dr. Shoop's Restorative may have a Full DoI Iar's Worth Free. I ask no deposit, no reference no security. There is nothing to pay, either now or later. I will send you an order on your druggist which he will accept in full pay ment for a regular, standard size Dollar bottle. And he will send the bill to me. C. I. SH00P, M. D. Don't you, though you may not know medicine at all. see that this is wrong? That it is mere patchwork? That while the suffering organ is enjoying its tem porary relief, the nerve that is really sick may be getting worse and worse? Does this not explain to you why re lapse so frequently follows a supposed cure? Does this not account for the uncertainties of medicine? More than thirty years ago this thought came to me: "If life and health depend upon per fect heart action, upon proper stomach digestion, upon correct kidney filtering, why does not life itself depend upon these life governing power nerves these inside nerves." I the greatest number,' should always prevail. "The new Y. M. C. A. building to be erected this summer in Topeka, costing some $75,000, will be a worthy monument to those who aid in its construction. As I understand it there is something like $30,000 yet -to -be raised before the contract for the building can be let. The suggestion has been made by Mr, Harold Chase, editor of the Capital, that the Com mercial club co-operate with the proper Y. M. C. A. committee and lend a helping hand in securing the additional subscriptions. The presi dent of the Commercial club endorses the idea, and will entertain any mo tion looking to the appointment of a standing or special committee on part of the Commercial club in line with Mr. Chase's suggestion. "The Fifth ward sewer Is now being constructed and the contracts for the Sixth ward sewer-and some fourteen blocks of pavement have just been let. "In conclusion. I" desire to congrat ulate our retiring president, Mr. W. W. Mills, on the splendid address deliver ed by him before the club at the last regular meeting. It is one of the best official documents issued by any Com mercial club or board of trade of the country and is replete with earnest thought and good suggestions." A resolution, presented tv George W. Hackney, was passed, urging the Shawnee county representatives in the legislature, to use tho!- influence to enact the proposed law empowering the board of railroad commissioners to adjudicate all excesi -e in rats, ion ceiring the transportation of grains for flouring mills. The action of the city council at a recent meeting, letting the contract to rebuild the north approaon of the J'elan arch bridge in an outside firm, rc-ceived this resolution of censuro- "Resolved, That we e.itnrstly pro tes. against any proposal action ot the city council in favor of th-?

"Resolved, That :o.iy of thtse rep ositions be sent to iho city clerk bv the secretary and thwt they be sub mitted to the club at the regular meet ing on Friday evening, for its action. "Whereas, "'he Commercial club of Topeka is using every -r,divor to b-iild up the mr -.intil industrial ;ni-' manufacturing interests of Topeka, and "Whereas, At a recent meeting of the council of the city of Topeka, a Topeka manufacturing companv was discriminated against in the letting of the contract to build the north span of the Melan arch bridge, in spite of the fact that the bid of our Topeka Bridge companv was $1,400 lower than the foreign bridge company that re ceived the contract. Therefore be it resolved. That we deplore said action of the enum-ril in awarding the said contract in the man ner aforesaid, and, "Resolved further. That we look upon said action of the council as most inimical to the bert interests o the manufacturing interests of Topeka on? calcu.ated to rmoraliv:e and dishearten our manufacturers, business men and laborinc men, "Resolved further. That we hope such action on the part cf the 'ouncil of the city of Topeka will nev-r be repeated." A spirited debate followed its presen tation. Councilman William Green who opposed the measure when passed ob- P S foe I realized, too, that all ailments which result from one cause may, of course, be cured by one remedy. I re solved not to doctor the organs but to treat the one nerve system which op 'erates them all. For those who treat only the symp toms need a different remedy for each. Such treatments are only palliative, the results do not last. A cure can never come in diseases of the stomach, heart, liver or kidneys, until the inside nerve power is restored. When that is done. Nature removes the symptoms. These is no need of doctoring them. My remedy now known by Druggists everywhere,, as Dr. Shoop's Restorative is 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 got at once to the nerve the inside nerve the power nerve and builds it up, and strengthens it and makes it well. There is no mystery no miracle. I can explain my treatment to you as easily as 1 can tell you why cold freezes water and why heat melts ice. Nor do I claim a- discovery. For every detail of my treatment is based on truths so fundamental that none can deny them. And every ingredient of my medicine is as old as the hills it grows on. I sim ply applied the truths and combined the Ingredients into a remedy that is practically certain. In more than a million homes my re medy is now known, and elied upon. Yet you may not have heard of it. So I make this offer to you, a stranger, that every possible excuse fo doubt may be removed. Send no money make no promise take no risk. Simply write and ask. If you have never tried my lemedy, I will send you an order on your druggist for a full dollar bot tle not a sample, but the regular stan dard bottle he keeps constantly on his shelves.

"I don't like to see Mr. Green weaken now," he said, "after he took the stand he did at the council meet ing. We don't propose to stand for such action on the part, of any officers of the city." Mr. Green said in reply that he was not weakening, but felt that the Com mercial club should not censure the council for any actions which have been taken and are over with. C. G. Blakely tried to pour oil upon the troubled waters by asking if any councilman was .present who voted for the measure, to make a defense. They are all in hiding," replied Mr. Holliday. The resolution was put to a vote and passed without a dissenting voice. A formal statement of the bonus of $2,000 offered by the club for the finder of gas or oil within a radius of 15 miles of Topeka, was presented by the oil and gas committee and adopted as fol lows: "Resolved, That it is the sense of the committee that the Commercial club should fix the conditions of its offer of a bonus for a paying oil or gas well by passing a resolution to the effect that the club will pay a bonus of $2,000 for the first oil well completed within fif teen (15) miles of the city of Topeka which will yield at least ten barrels per day as a settled production after 30 days' pumping and will pay a bonus of the same sum for the first gas well completed within the same distance from Topeka which ,.will test at least one million feet per day as a. settled flow after three hours blowing oft. "Resolved, That it is the sense of the Commercial club of the city of Topeka that the legislature of the state should enact no law which will in any wise prevent any city in Kansas from piping and pumping natural gas into it for do mestic and manufacturing purposes." The request of the Denver Chamber of Commerce for the club to protest against the reduction of the present tariff duty on sugar coming from the Philippine islands with the United States, was turned down. A letter from Charles Curtis, who is champion ing the reduction in Washington- upon congress, gave the club its cue in the matter. A letter from Secretary of State J. R. Burrow was read, protesting against the use of the Auditorium, as it was this year, for a chicken show, during the dates of the inauguration of the state officers. He declared that To peka was roundly scored because of the small place in which the ceremon ies were held. Mr. Burrow was sent an official vote of thanks. A communication was read from W. S. Taylor arguing for the erection of a produce exchange in this city. He made the point that the expenses could be paid by renting offices in the structure. The matter was refer red to the manufacturer's committee. Senator Porter of Montgomery county upon invitation of the club, talked concerning the pumping of gas from the fields in Southern Kan sas. "We are not against piping gas to Kansas towns, but we are opposed." he said, "to pump it out and force it to Kansas City. We must not make the mistake made in Indiana. There dozens of industries were left on the barren prairie, as it were, because the gas about them was pumped to Chi cago. "To use unnatural and forceful means to carry the gas away, will finally leave us in just Indiana's con dition. It will run out some time. That is a mathematical proposition. We are willing, understand, to pipe out gas naturally, from the strength of its own flow to any city In Kansas, but we are against pumping it to Missouri to help pay the taxes of Kan sas City." J "I think, you are wrong to protest against the anti-pumping bill. Give it full investigation before you act. Be careful or you will kill both the goose and its laying of golden eggs.'' Senator Fitzpatricki spoke on the same subject, and seconded Senator Porter's statements to the letter. He too argued for laws denying the right of usage of pimps on the gas wells of Kansas. "You will destroy the field if you do," was his conclusion. New Crowd at Hot Springs. Hot Springs, Ark.,. Feb. 11.

Automobile Champion Oldfield Accepts Brokaw's Challenge For a' Series of Races at $1,000 a Side in Jane. BROKAW KEEPS OUT. Is the Challenger- But Will Put in Bernin to DriTe. Two Chicago Men Will Climb Pike's Next Summer. Chicago, Feb. 11. Barney Oldfield, automobile champion and holder of track records from one to' 50 miles, at present in Chicago, has announced that he had closed a match with W. Gould Brokaw of New York" for a series of races for $1,000 a side. The contests will take place in May or June. The first set of races will be run over an eastern track, with Oldfield having the choice of tracks at Buffalo, Cleveland or Detroit for the return engagement. The big cars will race five mile heats, best two in three, from a rolling start, starting from opposite sides of the track. While Brokaw is the challenger, he will not drive his own car. He prefers road contests himself and when it comes to track events he puts Bernin, his professional, at the wheel. Bernin is the one that Oldfield declared to be his most formidable rival. "I expect to be kept busy with match races this summer," says Oldfield. "I understand that William Wallace wants to meet me after I am through' with Brokaw. He is an enthusiast and drives his own car. He is a good man. too, and was prominent at the Ormond meet. He is also a member of the rac ing board of the American Automobile association." Dr. Harold E. Thomas and Jere Ellis of the Chicago Automobile club will take part in the Pike's peak hill climb next summer, their entries having been secured by G. A. Wahlgreen of Denver, who Is here In the interests of the au tomobile carnival. Hullman of Terre Haute is another in this section to hand in his name. "Denver made a reputation when she held the L. A. W. meet some ten years back," declared Wahlgreen, "and we propose to live up to that reputation In the new sport. We are planning a car nival to last three days the last of August. The first day will be devoted to track races. You know the atmos phere out there Is so light that It is conducive to record-breaking. The cyc lists used to go there when trying for records and they used to get them, too. I think that there will be a new auto mobile slate after we get through. "The second day of the carnival we are going to have a run from Denver to Colorado Springs. We will have three divisions. The first will be an en durance contest, while in the second the scorchers can turn loose and travel as fast as they-wish. Jnthe third will be thev .'-butter flies' those who want to take it low. "The hill 'climb will be on the third day and it is no slight task that we have outlined. The climb is a good 14 miles, with the maximum grade from j 10 to 11 per cent The hard part of the: course comes on ti e curveB, which are dangerous. One is liable to drop some, 4,000 feet if he runs over the bank." CORBETT PARTNER OF PRIEST. Former Champion and Divine in a Baseball Enterprise. Bayside,- L. I., Feb. 11. James J.

It was decided that a club should be incorporated in which there will be fifteen directors. Stock in the club will be sold. Corbett has agreed to take all the stock that Is not sub scribed by other residents of the vil lage. Some of the stock will also be taken by the Rev.

Fourth and fifth prizes went to Norris of New York and Threshie of Boston respectively. ine game between Conklin and Sig ourney. which decided the champion ship lasted over three hours. Both players were so deliberate and careful in their playing that the game grew tiresome at times. Conklin took the lead at the start, and kept it all through the contest. Sigourney played good billiards in spots only, and seem ed to weaken at critical moments. On several occasions luck seemed decidedly against him when he had the balls in position for a good run and he failed of several easy shots. Conklin played the more consistent rame of the two, and kept well in the lead throughout the contest. Following is the score of the game: Conklin Total 300; high run 31, average S 44-46.

As the plants which are combined with the figs in the manufacture of Syrup of Figs are known to physicians to act most beneficially upon the system, the remedy has met with their general approval as a family laxative, a fact well worth considering in making purchases. It is because of the fact that SYRUP OP FIGS is a remedy of known quality and excellence, and approved by physicians that has led to its use by so many millions of well informed people, who would not use any remedy of uncertain quality or inferior reputation. Every family should have a bottle of the genuine on hand at all times, to use when a laxative remedy is required. Please to remember that the genuine Syrup of Figs is for sale in bottles of one size reputable druggists, and that full name of the California Fig Syrup Go., is plainly printed on every package.

Germany, Euro pean authority on skin diseases, says that dandruff is as contagious as any other malevolent disease, and that one common source of the spread of dandruff is the use of the same hair brush by different per sons. The way to avoid catching dandruff or any other disease from another's brush is to insist on the use of Kewbro's Herpi cirie. It not only kills the dandruff germ, but it is also an antiseptic that will pre vent the catching of any disease whatever through contagion ot another's brush. Sold by leading druggists.

Superintendents and Master Mechanics to Co-operate. Gossip and Matters of Interest in Kailway Circles. George Austin has been appointed general boiler inspector of the Santa Fe system, by Alfred Lovell, superin tendent of machinery of the Santa Fe system. Mr. Austin was formerly division foreman at Arkansas City, and for the past two years he has been in charge of the class of work which he will here after superintend. Mr. Austin has not had the title of the position until the appointment which has just been an nounced which gives Mr. Austin juris diction over all lines Of the system. All mechanical superintendents, sup erintendents of shops, and division master mechanics of the Santa Fe sys tem are instructed to co-operate with Mr. Austin in carrying out all orders which Mr. Austin may make. Mr. Austin's work wHl be to super intend the washing, and the care and repair of the boilers of both stationary and locomotive engines of the Santa Fe. Great harm may be done to boil ers by lack of care in washing them, and to insufficient care In the repair work. Mr. Austin will visit all shop and division points on the system about once every tour months, and he will endeavor to bring the service on the entire system up to the highest stand ard of efficiency, and to establish uni form methods of handling the work of that department at all points along the system, which will combine efficiency and economy. Mr. Austin has been engaged in this work for about two years, but hereto fore his jurisdiction has not been so large nor his authority so broad as It will be hereafter. His work ha3 been found to b2 so valuable to the railroad company that he has been given the ti tle 'of general boiler inspector with in creased authority. Mr. Austin will remain at Arkansas City where his family is now living un til spring, when he will move to To peka, where he will make his head quarters. Mr. Austin and Mr. C. H.

The advance guard of the Kilnatrick Bros. Col lins railroad grading outfit has ar rived at Onaga. It filled twenty-six cars. Besides machinery they brought torty-three horses and mules and nearly 100 men. The big steam shovel and two dummy engines, similar to those used on suburban street rail ways, are in the outfit. The younger Kilpatriclc and his private secretary are here. There has been no delay in getting to work. The stock was unloaded and shod all round, two sections oi track was built upon which to move the steam shovel; the two dummy en gines were unloaded about three miles east of here where they will be used in handling the 90-ton shovels and other heavy material. The tents and material for bunks and eating houses will be taken to the vicinity of Bartlett's place. The houses, or "shacks," as the men call them, are all framed and ready to set up. Those in charge state that it will be possibly three weeks before they get correctly straightened out and ready for grading proper. Work will be commenced at the Bartlett hill and proceed both ways. We are informed that the same activity is being displayed at the Me noken end of the line. Both Ayers and Mary, the Union Pacific right of way men, are buying land from the east side of the county westward. The commissioners ap pointed bv the court, Messrs. Morris, O'Meara and Herr, have been out for three days, appraising the land in volved in estates, of which there is considerable, and fixing the value where the railroad and owner cannot agree. They expect to be able to finish by next Tuesday. Cash is being paid where settlements are made. The Onaga proposition is now before the head officials of the road and a favorable reply is expected from them every day. Thev are to pass upon the final agreements as to what Onaga shall have for her Sio.uuu. wora from Omaha indicates that the road will give Onaga the advantages that were outlined by Mr. McAllaster. It is not probable that anything will be done with Onaga right of way until this matter is settled. The activity, expenditure of money and labor, all point to a speedy piece of railroad building from Topeka to Onaga. and the people are all well pleased. Erie Distributes Handsome Presents. Harry Donaldson, Sam Larimer, Charles' Seagraves and Wm. Curtis among others in the passenger depart ment of the Kanta Fe today received monogram watch fobs made especi- allv fnr parti nerson with the compll- me'nts of the Erie railroad.

There is to be a rush of people into the south and southwest if the inquiries now being received Ijv the western railroads re garding "homeseekers' excursions" signify much. One mail in a single railway office has contained over a hundred letters, all asking about soil and climate and other things that go to make up life in the rural districts. The movement is not confined to the southwest, but southern states like Alabama and Mississippi are receiving a great deal of attention. On one line alone 4S7 passengers, with homeseek ers' ticketB have left for the south west in Alabama. Reports to the of ficials indicate that many of these peo ple will remain in the south perma nently as they have made locations.

MISS JAR ATI Miss Sarah Schiller, 1401 McEldery Baltimore, Md., writes I am pleased to endorse Peruna, as I took it about a year ago, and it soon brought relief from a cold on the lungs which threatened to be serious. "My lungs were sore and inflamed,- I coughed a couple of hours every night, and I felt that something must be done to heal up my lungs and rid me ot this cough which dis turbed my rest and was running me down. Peruna was suggested by some of my friepds and acting upon their advice, I tried it, and found that it was able to bring about a speedy cure.. You have my highest endorse ment and thanka for the good it did me." Both health and beauty are threat ened in all cases of chronic catarrh. No one can expect to have good health so long as their vitality is sap ped away with catarrhal discharges. Facial deformities are largely a re sult of catarrh of the head and throat. Thus it is that women especially dread the ravages of catarrh. Catarrh is an insidious disease that silently steals away the vitality and gradually destroys the symmetry and beauty of the human body. Peruna will cure catarrh, no matter in what part of the system the disease may have settled. heretofore to stock, are now being de veloped for farms. Oklahoma is getting its full, share of homeseekers, while Texas is re ceiving more newcomers than for a number of years.

Paper at Wootton May Bring Town Into National Prominence. The little station of Wootton on the transcontinental line of the Santa Fe railroad in the Raton mountains, eight miles from the town of Raton, New Mexico, will come into national prom inence if the zealous editor of "The Wootton Daily Rattler" perseveres. "The Daily Rattler" is published by the agent of the Santa Fe railroad at that point. He gets it out with a type writer, and by the aid of the mimeo graph. The sheet is a hummer. The Rattles gets its telegraph news "via the Rattler's longest leased wire in the world," or perhaps it comes "via the Rattler's longest wireless w,ire in the world." If the news fails to reach the Rattler via either of the two modes already mentioned, it may come "via the Rattler's longest greased wire in th'e world," or still by the other means, "via the Rattler's hottest wire in the world." If the Rattler fails to get all the news and all the latest senations by the use of all the various kinds or wires, no doubt the editor will be able to make up for the loss by means of the "dream book wnicn ne Keeps in a convenient place. The following is a special dispatch which was sent from Lynn, New Mex ico, to the Rattler via its longest' wire in the world: "The magnificent seven story, fire proof building which is be ing erected at the corner of Skunk avenue and Last street will be com pleted bv February 1. It will be used as a home for locoed victims, which are numerous in the vicinity." Here is another item: "Raton, N. M, Jan. 18., (via the Rattler's hottest wire in the world.) Mr. Sam Sausser has resigned his position as chaffeur for the Wells-Fargo and has left for Wootton where he has accepted the position of 'devil' for the Wootton Rattler.

THE TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 11, 1905. 4 FOVEBS OLA THIS MAN'S MYSTERIOUS POWER HEALS WHEN ALL OTHERS FAIL DEFEATS DEADLY DISEASES Cures Hundreds by New and Marvelous Method of Treatment. President and Senate Are in a Disagreement. Upper House ltesents Attempted Executire Interference. SOT ON PARTY LINES Both Democrats and Republi cans Feel Aggrieved. Charge Attempt to Encroach on Senatorial Prerogative. Washington, Feb. 11. Immediately after the close of the routine morning business today the senate at 12:18 p. rn. on motion of Mr. Cullom went Into ex ecutive session. In moving; the Eession Mr. Cullom antagonized several sen ators, w ho expressed a desire to trans act other business. He said that It was especially desirable that the considera tion of the arbitration treaties be pro ceeded with and exprsesed the hope that they might be disposed of today If an early start could be secured. As soon as the doors were closed Sen ator Cullom presented and had read the letter from the president to himself in which the president had taken excep tion to the senate's amendment substituting- the word "treaty" for the word "agreement." The letter was something of a sur prise to many members of the senate and the reading received the undivided attention of all present. When the reading had been concluded Senator Morgan took the floor and making the president's letter the text of his remarks proceeded with a sharp criticism of ex ecutive interference with the senate in performing its part in the making of treaties. He spoke of the letter as another evi dence of the president's tendency tow ard the usurpation of the senatorial prerogative and said that the president had ix more right to interfere with the senate's consideration of the subject at this stage of the proceeding than the senate would have had to interfere with him while the treaty was in progress of preparation. When Senator Morgan completed his Fpeeeh Senator Sponr.er took the floor and following somewhat on the lines of Mr. Morgan's remarks took issue with the president on the substitution of the word "treaty" for "agreement." contending that the change was not an Indicaion of any backward Etep, but that even with this change the con summation of the treaty would mark an important step forward. He said that the ratification of the treaty as n mended by the committee would pledge the government to the general proposition of arbitration. He also made strong contention for the preser vation of the senatorial prerogative and instancing the agreement with ref erence to the Pius fund, declared that even that should have been presented to the senate notwithstanding the gen eral provision for submission to The Hague tribunal. The discussion showed a determina tion to stand firm in regard to the pre rogatives of the senate and to insist that the word "treaty" should be sub stituted for "agreement" in ail of the treaties which is the crucial point in the contention between the president and the senate. The discussion which was characterized by expressions of the highest regard for the president was along- the line that the senate could not if it would surrender its part of the treaty making power. Among the senators who took this position today In addition to Mr. Spooner, were Messrs Foraker and Lodge. The lat ter was especially firm in supporting the committee amendment and in sisted that with all due regard to the president, it was for the senate to de termine its rights and to support Its prerogatives. Senator Foraker was no less em phatic in his declaration to the same effect. SHOW CLOSES TONIGHT. Attendance Has Been AU That Could lie Expected. The total attendance at the Kansas Midwinter exposition on Friday was 3, 798, against 3,250 on the same day last year. For the past three days, despite the bad weather, the attendance has been better than that of 1004. Up to date the total attendance since the show began sums the figure of 34, "93. During the entire two weeks iast year the attendance was 39,343. So in order to equal last year's record, to day's crowd will have to total 5,000. The fair was a greater success than ever before, the crowds alone verifying this statement. Weather that has sim ply made transit over the city all but impossible, has hindered during the whole two wewks of the show. On the fiist day, the opening one. the snow storm commenced, and has kept up in termittently to the present time. To day the indications point to another vigorous precipitation. To fall within just a few hundred of last year, when the weather was prac tically perfect with the exception of the two opening days, is a record that the management can well feel proud of. "I am immensely pleased," said Sec retary R. S. Brigham this morning. The attendance has been fine consid ering the bad weather. It would be considered good had the weather been favorable. If clear skies and good ground underfoot had greeted us every dav. we should have had crowds that would have pushed out the walls of the building." Tonight the show will close and the management is looking for an enorm ous attendance. It will doubtlessly be j at the Auditorium regardless of the weather. The excellent vaudeville bill, i advertised all over town as it now is.) will alone bring a crowd. The different exhibitors will be extraordinarily lib eral tonight in giving away things and it is worth while to get these samples, for they represent the cream of many different kinds of goods. fpSTETTEnX CELEBRATED W If you nre snb- jecttocolds dur ing the winter months we urge you to keep a bottle of the Ki'ters handy.

I ordered him out of the hall one night last week. "Dickson was wandering about the hall. I told him to leave. Just then Chief Stahl turned up. Somebody called for him, evidently. I told him that Dick son was drunk. He said nothing to me at all. Meanwhile Dickson wandered around to the Ingleside booth, and I went and got him and led him to the door. I saw Kim going down the street, the chief about twnty feet in the rear." This morning Chief Stahl was asked if he would discharge Dickson. "1 won't say anything," he replied. "Was he dumk?" "Yes," replied the chief. "Will you discharge him then?" ''Dickson has been a good patrol driver and officer, but he has one failing." an swered the chief. "I won't have drinking men about me.

The supreme court today reversed the decree of the Shawnee county district court which directed County Clerk Newman to supply W. F. Lake, drug gist, with the books of blank affidavits to record liquor sales. The provate judge revoked the per mit to sell liquor held by Mr. Lake, and the district court subsequently instruct ed the county clerk to furnish the blanks as was dene before the time the permit was revoked. The typewritten decision of the su preme court covers eight pages. The decision sums up the matter by saying: "We are of the opinion that the ac tion of the probate judge in revoking the permit held by Lake was in all re spects regular and fully authorized by law. This being so, Lake had no right to be furnished withe book- of blank affidavits by the county clerk and hence the order and decree of the district court directing the county clerk to do so, was erroneous, and its action will be reversed."

HAS HE SUPERNATURAL GIFTS? Discards Useless Drugs and Medicines, Yet Heals Hopeless Invalids Pronounced Incurable by Physicians. Offers Services and Home Treatment Free of Charge to Rich and Poor Alike Believes It His Duty to God and Man to Labor for the Sick and Afflicted Who Stand in Need. New York, Feb. 8. (Special Corres pondence.) The mysterious healing power of Professor William Wallace Hadley of this city, which enables him to cure hopeless invalids when doctors, drugs and all other means have failed, has aroused widespread wonder and comment in all circles, physicians and scientists being as much in the dark for an explanation as those outside the medical profession. Various attempts to discover this man's secret have failed, since he has refused to disclose the source of his most marvelous control over disease and his strange power to stay the clutch of death. Yet the proven facts and evidence show that in hundreds of instances when patients have baen pronounced hopelessly incurable and given up to death by doctors. Profes sor Hadley has restored them to health so easily and quickly that it borders closely upon miraculous or divine. These cures are the more strange and startling since it is known that he has discarded the useless drugs usually prescribed by physicians and accom plishes these marvels by a new and wonderful method of treatment unlike any heretofore knowji to science. In deed, one woman goes so far as to state that Professor Hadley made her heart beat again in her body when she was prepared for the grave, and he has performed dozens of other seeming miracles of healing in the face of death. He claims that there is no disease he may not cure, and there is every reason to believe that this claim, startling as it is, is no more than the literal truth, since the records show that he has cured cancer, consump tion, paralysis, deafness and other dis eases supposed to be incurable, with the same ease and cretainty that he cured stomach and kidney troubles, rheumatism, catarrh and the more common ailments that human flesh is heir to. Powerful and peculiar as is Profes sor Hadley's ability, an almost equally, remarkable thing about this man Is the fact that he gives his treatment free of charge to rich and poor alike, devoting himself to the relief of af flicted humanity independent of fees or reward. He is quoted as saying that he looks upon this power he pos sesses as a divine gift, and that he feels it is his duty as a Christian to help all who stand in need, without attempting to extort money for his services. During a recent interview with Pro fessor Hadley the eminent scientist firmly but courteously declined to dis cuss the secret of the power that he holds, but finally was induced to speak of some of the almost miraculous cures he has made. Speaking of the case of Joseph R. Stewart of Camden, N. J., one of his recent patients, Professor Hadley said: "Mr. Stewart had been told by various physicians that he had cancer of the stomach, complicated with kidney disease and bowel trouble, that his case was incurable and beyond the reach of medicine, and that he must make the most of what little life was left to him before death claimed him. He suffered most terrible agonies, and was on the verge of the grave when he applied to me as a last resort. Not withstanding what the doctors had said I accepted the case, put him un der my treatment and cured him. To day he is worth a good many dead men, and in a recent letter to me speaks of his cure as a 'miracle.' Then there was the case of Mrs. M. Worthington of Egg Harbor, N. J. For twenty-five years she had been a hopeless invalid from complicated female troubles, many long months bedridden in hospi tals, and pronounced hopelessly incur able and given up to die by all her physicians. But she put her faith in me, threw away her old medicines, and is today the picture and reality of per fect health. I took up the case of Mr. E. C. Bass of El Campo, Tex., after the doctors had given him up to death and could do nothing to revive him. Brought to this condition by the combined at tack of kidney and liver diseases, dropsy and articular rhemuatism, he suffered the torments of the damned and was almost insane with pain. Doctors and their medicines failed utterly. But I did not fail. I cured him. I restored That Are fvA LENT ONES L. ZERCHER BOOK AND STATIONERY CO. Both Pliones. 580 Try the Journal Want Columns for Quick Returns. him to life and health without his even knowing just how it was done. Then recently I received this letter from Mrs. E. C. McManus of Ellison, Ala., which will give you an idea of how my pa tients regard my power to cure." The writer copied Mrs. McManus's letter, which, word for word, is as follows: "At last 1 am free from pain and dis ease; at last my health is restored and i to me it seems little short of a miracle that you could absolutely cure any one as sick as I was. When you made me well again you cured catarrh of the stomach and bowels, liver and kidney diseases, female trouble and piles. All these you cured as 1 am the living wit ness I am so thankful to you for all you have done for me, for all you saved me from. I would have died without your treatment. May God bless you and your good work." And one from C. S. Harrell of Cato, Ark., reads: "You seem to know just what the trou ble is and just how to cure it. Here after I am through with quack doctors and their useless drugs, for they are not worth a pinch of salt compared with your treatment. I was sick so long with liver and kidney disease and stomach trouble that all the blood seemed gone from my body, and I looked like a corpse ready for burial. I was so weak and suffered so much and so constantly that I could not work on my farm as I needed to. Now I am feeling wonderfully different. You have driven the disease out of my body as you promised, and 1 assure you that I am most thankful for it. I feel that you saved my life." ''Cases come to me from all over the country," continued the Professor, "that have baffled some of the best physicians and specialists, where one doctor has said the trouble was one thing and the next something eise, until the patients were at a loss to know what disease they really were suffering from. Is it any wonder that sufferers fail to aet well W'hen they are not only treated for the wrong disease, but also given useless medi cines on the hit-or-miss plan? But I am able to make a correct and caie ful diagnosis of each case that comes to me, and, seeing the cause, apply the power to cure." "But how about those who cannot afford to come to New York to have you treat them?" "It does not make the slightest dif ference. I cure them in their own homes just as easily and just as surely as if I went to them or they curne to me. Distance cannot weaken the healing power I have. All that any one who is ill in any way, from any cause, has to do, is to write me a letter, addressing Wm. Wallace Had ley, M. D., office 726 P. 70S Madison Ave., New York, telling me the dis ease they suffer from most, or their principal symptoms, age and sex. and I will give them a course of honr treatment absolutely free of charge." "Do you really mean that any one who is sick can write you to be cured, without paying any money?"- "Yes, I mean just that. I believe that as a Christian it is my duty to Cfod and man to help all who are in need. When I have been given the power to cure, I do not believe that I have the right to make any one waste his money on useless drugs when I can heal him without them. It is not alone the needless expense, but medicinen and the surgeon's knife often do more harm than good, as even the medical profession will con fess if thev speak the truth. We all owe a duty to our fellow men we must all serve in one way or another. Where a rich man gives money, I give health. I am not a millionaire, but I am able to afford to do my share toward re lieving the sufferings of mankind. And I am happy to give freely of my ser vices wherever they are needed. And I am especially anxious to cure any poor mortal who has been told that his or her case is incurable, that there is no hope left on earth. Or any one who has grown weary spending money on drugs and doctors in a vain search for health. If they will write to me and accept my offer there is not only hope, but an almost absolute certainty that they need be sick no longer. Ami it is a blessing that my power makes a letter to me do Just as much good as a personal visit." Lp to Date 521 Kansas Ave.

WOULD TAX THE OIL City Proposes a Tax ot $200 a Year on Companies. An ordinance will be introduced at the next session of the council provid ing for a nearly tax of $200 on oil com panies, refiners of oil, who dispose of their product in the city. This tax will make the Standard and National Oil companies liable. H. Ward Page, city license inspector, made the dis covery recently that other cities of the first class in Kansas had passed or- dinances of a similar character which are now being enforced with success. The stand is taken that the Stan dard and National Oil companies come under the same head that the Excel sior Gas Coke company and the Edison Light company come. The latter two companies pay a tax to the city for furnishing heat, light and power. The Gas company pays an an nual tax of $150 for furnishinrr heat and light while the Edison company pays a tax of $150 for furnishing light and power and an additional tax of $75 for furnishing heat. The claim is made that the oil com panies furnish heat, and light in large quantities and also power to a certain extent and that in consequence they should be taxed without fear or favor. In the lisht of similar ordinances in effect in other Kansas cities it is not expected that the oil companies in question will fight the passing of the ordinance. Whether the Standard Oil company will retaliate for the introduction of the tax by boosting up the local prices on gasoline and coal oil remains to be seen. The two companies mentioned are the only ones doing business in the city. The small retail dealer who sells from a tank wagon will not be affected by the tax except in an indi direct manner. A Continual Strain. Manv men and women are constantly subjected to what they commonly term "a continual strain'' because of some financial or family trouble.

Ross, ex-United States senator from Kansas, now a resident of Albuquerque, has been voted a pension of $30 a month by the house. Ross was the successor of James H. Lane. He voted against the impeachment of President Johnson and was abused as few other men who ever tried to serve the state. When he re turned to Lawrence after the impeach ment trial, Ross remarked sadly: "Even the dogs in the street would not make friends with me." Ross was elected to the senate be cause of his denunciation of James H. Lane. He was editor of a newspaper printed in Lawrence and his abuse if Lane was savage. The pension is for his services in the army. He was first a captain and later major of the Elev enth Kansas regiment. The vote cast by Ross on the John son impeachment proved his financial as well his political ruin. He was in fairly prosperous circumstances at the time, but his subscribers quit the news paper and Ross found it impossible to make a living. In later years, Ross set type on small newspapers.

THEFIBEpSTlOf! Chief Wilmarth's Position Con cerning New School. Says He Didn't Attempt to Close the Building. HE CITES THE LAW. Provisions Also Apply to the Theaters. Why the Crawford Is Considered Dangerous. At the last meeting of the city board of education the matter of fire escapes for the new manual training- building of the Topeka high school came up for consideration. The matter was brought to the atten tion of the members of the board of ed ucation by Fire Chief Wilmarth, and a report of the meeting was published in the State Journal last Tuesday. Fire Chief Wilmarth believes that he was held up to the public in a wrong light in the report of that meeting be cause of the mention made of his zeal in looking after the fire escapes of the high school building and the manner in which he has handled the Crawford theater matter. i Mr. Wilmarth denies that he has is sued an ultimatum to the board of ed ucation declaring that' he will not per mit the building to be opened unless the fire escapes are provided. Mr. Wilmarth says that in the latter part of last August he addressed a let ter to the board of education, stating that under the provisions of the Kansas statutes passed in 1903, it was his duty to call the attention of the board to the establishment of fire escapes on school buildings over three stories in height. Mr. Wilmarth declares that the law makes no provision for authority for him to close the school building and he also denies the suggestion of any at tempt upon his part to close the build ing. Chief Wilmarth stated that he was aware that a number of people were of the opinion that he should force the closing- of the Crawford theater because of its unsafe condition. The chief de clares that in this respect also his power is limited. He says that he can close a building on account of disintegrating walls but not on account of unsafety through fire causes. The latter power he declares is veBted In the city council and mayor who in turn make known their wishes to the head of the fire de partment. For the information of the public, the State Journal presents herewith a por tion of the text of the Kansas laws passed in 1903, to which laws Fire Chief Wilmarth has made reference. Those who know the actual conditions as they exist at the Crawford theater building, know that the Crawford the-r ater management has not complied with the law. The law which Fire Chief Wilmarth cites, plainly say3 that it shall be the duty of the chief of the fire department to visit all public buildings of the class es enumerated in the provisions of the law, at least once every three months, and investigate whether the provisions of the law are complied with and to re port violations of the same to the city attorney for prosecution. The first section of the law says: "Every building now or hereafter used in whole or in part, as a public building, public or private institution, schoolhouse, church, theater, public hall, place of assemblage, or place of public resort, and every hotel, family hotel, apartment house, boarding house, lodging house, or tenement house three or more stories in height, shall within six months after the pas sage of this act, be provided with one or more metallic ladders or stair fire escapes attached to the outer walls thereof, and extending from or suit ably near the ground to the uppermost storv thereof, with platforms of such width and dimensions and in such proximity to one or more windows of each story above the first as to render access to such ladders or stairs from each story easy and safe; the number, location, material and construction of such escapes to be subject to the ap proval of the fire marshal, chief of the fire department, city or town marshal, or such other authority as may have control of the fire regulations in any city or town where such buildings are located." The law further says: "And that all public halls with seating room above the first or ground story shall be pro vided with such number of said lad ders or stair fire escapes as the fire marshal, chief of fire department, city or town marshal or such other author ity as may have control of fire regula tions in any city or town where such bulidings are located may direct. The law also says: "Independent of and in addition to the external iron fire escapes or es capes that may be required by any laws of this state upon any hotel., or large boarding house for the accom modation of the public, or upon any lodtring house, tenement house, or any building in which rooms or floors are let to numerous families, whenev-r any said buildinr can accommodate tw'entv or more individuals, and is two or more stories in height, it shall be the dutv of said owners of all said buildings, to provide and to cause to IN CALIFORNIA They Use Fruit and Grape-Xuts.

"One day a friend advised him to quit his regular breakfast entirely and use only Grape-Nuts and cream to gether with a little fruit. "He took the advice and begun to grow better at once. It was only a short time when he began to fatten up and grow stronger. Now he is the picture of health and his old troubles have disappeared. "We give Grape-Nuts to our baby boy. He is very fond of the food and Is healthy and strong.. We think he is the happiest year-old baby in Cali fornia!" Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

The law also provides that owners of the building shall keep conspicuous ly displayed in the building placards directing persons how to reach the fire escapes and also provides fines for violation of the law. The owners of the Crawford theatre have not complied with the provisions of this law. The Crawfard theatre is extra haz ardous for the reason that it is a thea tre, with the parquet floor on the sec ond story of the building, and is a rooming or tenement-house combin ed. Rooms are used as a living apart ments in the front of the theatre on each lloor above the first floor. Eight families are at the present time living in- the building, with a combined total of twenty-two indi viduals. The law stipulates that In huilding with accommodations for twenty or more individuals, the fire escapes shall be provided on the outside of the building and also provides that ropes reaching from the window to the ground should be supplied to each room facing on the outside. The law provides that the city fire marshal shall make investigations every three months to see that the provisions of the law are complied with. If he finds violations, the law provides for his making a report to the city attorney for prosecution. The Crawford theater is one of the oldest buildings in the city of Topeka. It is one of the most ancient buildings in the city from, the standpoint of plan of construction. It is not a modern, fireproof building. There has been raised the question of the stability of the walla of the theater. The building underwent a fire -a number of years ago, and it is the opinion of some that the fire weakened the walls to a con siderable extent. That is a matter, however, where there is room for dis cussion. A year ago a committee of the city council inspected the building and made the following report: "While we have enumerated many defects discovered by this inspection, and have recommended changes and improvements that could be made, we would NOT have your honorable body consider that IF these improve ments should be carried out in a sat isfactory manner, that we then deem the building fireproof and in absolute ly safe condition. "The suggestions given are for the elimination of the most glaring defects discovered, and for the improvement of egress, (notice it says improvement, but does not say making egress sure and safe) of an audience assembled therein. "We consider that the Crawford op era house, in its present condition, is unsafe for occupancy as a theater, and especially the gallery located on the fourth floor." Fire Chief Wilmarth, although he says he has required as many changes at the Crawford theater as are within his authoriry to require, will not go on record as saying that the building is safe. He is doing all within his power to be ready in-, case of an emergency, and keeps a fireman on the stage dur ing theatrical performances. But while he has adopted the measures which he has, it would be unfair to say that he would assume the responsibility of say ing to the public that they are safe in the theater. That is more than Mr. Wilmarth can promise. He is, howevei, doing all within his power under the existing conditions. A fire was recently averted in the Crawford theater building by prompt work of the fhe department. The wa ter main which had been put into tne building for the purpose of fire protec tion, became frozen and workmen were thawing it out when the fire occurred. It was put out with no large loss by the quick work of the fire department. The Grand opera house, convenient, and safer than the Crawford theater, on which the Crawford management pays an annual rental of $1,500, is kept clos ed by the theatrical magnates. The people of Topeka who have paid high prices for theatrical amusement for years deserve some recognition. They deserve to have a place provided wherein they may assemble for theat rical amusement which will compare favorably with the places provided in other cities, commonly known as one night stands. Topeka is at a distinct disadvantage in this respect in comparison with neighboring cities. The small city of Ottawa has a much finer theater than is open to the pub lic of Topeka at this time.

Notwithstanding this, a famine in that product exists and householders are paying 38 cents a dozen. The big meat packers are said to have a corner on the market. Last spring, when eggs were cheap, th-j meat packers and a few heavy dealers secured hundreds of thousands of cases of eggs which were put away for a time when, owing to natural conditions, the market supply of fresh would be unequal to the demand. The eggs were bought at a price ranging from 15 to 171i cents a dozen.

The committee of the whole recom mended for passage Senator Dumont Smith's bill providing that the warden of the penitentiary shall "Keep In com munication, as far as possible, with all prisoners who are on parole, and also with their employers, and when, in his opinion, any prisoner who has served not less than six months of his parole acceptably has given such evidence as is deemed reliable and trustworthy that he will remain at liberty without violating th law," and that if in his judgment the prisoner should be finally discharged he shall make such recom mendation to the prison board and the board may discharge him. The senate committee of the whole recommended for passage Senator Has kell's bill which provides that: "Any person being related to a majority of all the members of a school district board as husband or wife, son or daughter, brother or brother-in-law, sister or sister-in-law, uncle or aunt, niece or nephew, shall be ineligible to the position of teacher in such school district if a written protest signed by three legal voters in such school dis trict shall be filed with the clerk of said board on or before the day of the annual school meeting."

o TIIE TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 11, 1905. 10 BOODLE FOUND Morning Paper Charges Vanish in Thin Air. "Statesmen" Didn't Include Members of House. WILL NOT ADJOURN. Committee to Continue Investi gations During Session. Women IJemember the "Antis" as "Well as Supporters. "The air is full of boodle stories, and several statesmen already are under uspicion." As its defense to the above charge printed Friday morning, the official etate paper has advanced the unique and powerful argument before the investigation committee that the word "statesmen" does not include any members of the legislature. It is up to the investigation commit tee to decide whether there are any statesmen in the legislature. J. F. Jarreli was the only witness examined by the committee at the Fri day afternoon session. Mr. Jarre'.l said he would assume full responsibility for writing and printing the boodle story. "I do not attempt to justify the story,' he said, "except by the state ment that the facts therein stated are current gossip in the lobbies. The committee will observe that I did not say that members of the legislature are under suspicion. I said states men.' "Do you consider that there are any statesmen in the legislature? inquir ed Chairman Bill Hackney. "That's a matter which I don't care to discuss," replied Mr. Jarreli. "You ought to at least admit that the members of this committee are statesmen." insisted Hackney, in a grieved tone. Mr. Jarreli was asked for some names of people who had offered or received boodle. He said he hadn't kept tab on names. He was simply printing- wiiat was the current rumor. Mr. Jarreli then produced the original "cony" of the boodle story and showed the committee that there was a page of his manuscript which did not get into the paper. The miss ing page contained a "saving clause." The saving clause was to the effect that members of the legislature de nied all the stories which were in cir culation, and did not think there was any truth in them. The manuscript with the missing page was left with the committee as one of the documents in evidennce. Committee Will Wait. "This committee," said W. Y. Mor gan to a State Journal reporter, "is not a smelling committee. We are supposed to act more in the nature of a grand jury. We will take up and investigate any evidence that is brought before us. We are Jiot go ing to hunt around for things to in vestigate. It is therefore probable that the great investigation has about run its;row afternoon at their hall, 831 Kansas course. Nothing much 13 expectea st- I There is no report ready for the house yet. The committee adjourned r riuav aneniuuii wunuui ilhjii, iu reassemble at the call of the chairman No more subpoenas have been issued. There are several members of the committee who have a deap seated prejudice against the common news paper practice of printing "rumors." They think that it is not legitimate news to say anything about what is current gossip. They want the news papers to wait until they can serve up everything in the form of affidavits, Riving full names and addresses of all witnesses. This is the system advocat ed by Governor Pennypacker of Penn sylvania. Under such conditions, a newspaper would afford about as much interesting reading matter as a volume of supreme court reports. House Stands by Knapp. When the house assembled Friday afternoon, the consideration of the re port of the senate-house conference committee about pay for the chief clerk of the house and secretary of the senate was taken up. The motion that the re port be confirmed was renewed. A long discussion ensued, and Chief Clerk Knapp was called upon to make a statement to the house. He said In dis cussing the duties which will devolve upon him after the session: "The printer's copy of the journal is not ready for the printers every day. The c-ipy must be revised after the ses sion, and surplus matter eliminated. That journal will not go from my hands to the printer. I will give it to the secretary of state. .1 will not be respon sible for the record unless I have time to revise it after the session." Mr. Knapp proposed that all reference to the fees be cut out of the appropria tion bill, and a statute passed fixing Jl.OfO as full compensation for the clerk of the house. He said that such an ar rangement would be satisfactory to him. Speaker Stubbs made a fight against Knapp. He said that the conference committee had mdae a very favorable report, and that Knapp ought to be satisfied. The house did not think so. however, and for the second time in the day took Issue with the speaker. The vote to confirm the conference committee report was taken on roll call and resulted 67 against and 17 for. It was a decisive victory for Mr. Knapp. A motion was marie that a new con ference committee be appointed, with Instructions from the house to stand for more pay for the chief clerk. The opin ion was emphatically expressed that the chief clerk of the house ought to re ceive more pay than the secretary of the state, owing to the greater extent of his work. The motion for a new conference committee was carried. Speaker Stubbs later announced the committee as fol lows: Brierley, Richards and Crumly. Pringle In the Chair. For the first time this session ex- Fpeaker Pringle was called to the chair in committee of the whole Friday af ternoon. Perhaps it was malicious fate that at the very first blow, the head came off of the gavel, and kept dropping ofT at Irregular intervals throughout the pro ceedings. Nevertheless Mr.Pringle made a -good presiding officer. The bill up for consideration was the Hutchings "drainage district" bill, pre sented in the house by E. K. Robinett of Wyandotte.The bill is a very lengthy and comprehensive document, and is in tended to afford the "river districts" protection from floods. The Hutchings bill was subjected to quite an extensive debate, and a large number of amendments were proposed, but the house voted down every amend ment, and the bill was finally recom- mended for passage without amend ment. This consumed nearly the whole of the afternoon session. Clark's Bill Passed. The house, on motion of A. R. Clark, moved to concur in the senate amend ments to Clark's bill providing for the vacation of additions and streets, by the board of county commissioners in the county in which the tract is locat ed. This bill is intended to relieve the legislature of a. lot of hard routine work. The senate amendment strike out the unimmoved tororjeity. The house committee on oil and gas has favorably reported the bill pro hibiting the use of pumps for the pur pose of forcing gas through the mains for long distances. This is the Din ad vocated by the Kansas Gas Protective association, and the members of the gas and oil committee had been convinced by their visit to CofEeyville and Inde pendence that it was a good sort of a law to pass. The bill has been set as a special order in the house for next Thursday at 10 a. m. "War ot the Roses.-' When the suffragists presented each member of the house who voted for the suffrage bill with a handsome pink carnation it was up 10 me anti-oui-frae-ists to make a move. Friday af ternoon each member of the house who voted against the bill was given an American beauty rose. Before the roses were distributed, the following card was read by the chief clerk: "To the members of the legislature who had the courage to vote their honest convictions on the question of suffrage under adverse conditions, these roses are tendered as a token of appreciation. "From the women of Kansas who do not want to vote." "Bill" Hackney was given two roses, which he had rightfully earned. NORTH TOPEKA. Leave items for this column with Kim ball Printing Co., 912 N.

The members of the Central West State Whist association went on record unanimously this morning at the busi ness meeting, in declaring that the To peka meeting has been one of the most successful ever held. The members and delegates from the various states have been highly pleased at the manner in which the Topeka Whist club has en tertained the delegates to the associa tion meeting. Officers were elected this morning and the executive committee decided upon the location of the meetings next year. Michael Waters, of Sioux City, la.. To day Elected President of the Cen tral West Whist Association. The twelfth annual meeting will be held at Grand Island, Nebraska, on February 9-10, 1906. The midsummer meeting will be held at Council Bluffs on August 4-5, 1905. Tie election of officers resulted as follows President, Michael Waters, Sioux City, Iowa. Vice president, A. G.

Wendover of St. Joseph, who is now in possession of the cup, having been the last to win it. Mr. Wendover has presented a fine new loving cup to be known as the St. Joseph trophy which is being played for at the Topeka meeting. An effort was made to locate the an nual meeting at Omaha permanently. There was much sentiment against such a move, and the matter was dropped.

The Four Men in County IT '''wi XNw t ltfe mwm tsWt '&.vvM'.r' mjy W'aw h'V&y WRITES TO COLLUM. President Roosevelt Resents Change in Arbitration Agreement. Washington, Feb. 11. President Roosevelt has. addressed a letter to Senator Cullom, chairman of the com mittee on foreign relations stating that the action of that committee in amend ing the arbitration treaties by sub stituthig for the word "agreement" the word "treaty" is, in his opinion, not a step lorwara but a. sten backward. If the word "treaty" is substituted the treaties would amount to a specific an nouncement against the whole princi pal of a general arbitration treaty. The president also savs. that if in the Judg ment of the president, an amendment nuiunes a proposed treaty it seems to him that it is no less clearly a duty to refrain from endeavoring to secure a ratification of the amended treaty. The letter is as follows: The White House, Washington, T. C, Feb. 10, 1905. My Dear Cullom I learn that the senate committee on foreign relations nas reported the arbitration treaties to the senate amending them by sub stituting for the words "agreement" in the second article the word "treaty." The effect of the amendment is to make it no longer possible, as between its contracting parties, to submit any matter whatever to arbitration with out first obtaining a special treaty to cover the case. This will represent not a step forward, but a step back ward. If the word "agreement" were retained it would be possible for the department of state to do as for in stance, it has already done under The Hague treaty in the Pius fund arbitra tion case with Mexico and submit to arbitration such subordinate matters as by treaty the senate had decided could be left to the executive to sub mit under a Jurisdiction limited by, the general treaty of arbitration. If the word "treaty" be substituted, the re sult is that every such agreement must be submitted to the senate; and these general arbitration treaties would then cease to be such, and indeed in their amended form, they amount to a specific pronouncement against the whole principal of a general arbitra tion treaty. The senate has of course the abso lute right to reject or to amend m any way it sees tit any treaty laid be fore it and it is clearly the duty of the senate to take any step which in the xercise of its best judgment it deems to be for the interest of the nation. If, however, in the judgment of the president a given amendment, nullities a proposed treaty it seems to me that it is no less clearly nis duty to refrain from endeavoring to secure a ratification by the other contracting power or powers,' of the amended treaty and after much thought I have come to-ihe conclusion that I ought to write and tell you that such is my judgment in this case. As amended we would have a treaty of arbitration which in effect will do nothing but to recite that this govern ment will when it deems it wise here after enter into treaties of arbitration. Inasmuch as we of course now have the power to enter into any treaties of arbitration and inasmuch as to pass those amended treaties does not m the smallest degree facilitate settlements by arbitration to make them would in no way further the cause of inter national peace. It would not, in my judgment, be wise or expedient to try to secure the assent or other contract ing powers to the amended treaties for even if such assent secured we should still remain precisely where we were before, save where the situation may be changed a little for the worse. There would not even be the slight benefit that mijrht obtain from the more general statement that we In tend hereafter, when we can come to an agreement with foreign powers as to what shall be submitted, to enter into arbitration treaties; for we have already, when we ratified The Hague treaty with the various signatory pow- j ers, solemnly declared such to be our intention; and nothing is gained by J reiterating our adherence to the princi ple while refusing to provide any means of makins our intention ef fective. In the amended form the treaties contain nothing except such expression of barren intention, and in deed as compared with what has al ready been provided for in The Hague arbitration treaty, they probably rep resent not a step forward but a slight step backward as regards the question of international arbitration. As such I do not think that they should receive the sanction of this government. Per sonally it is not my opinion that this government lacks the power to enter into general treaties of arbitration, but if I am in error, and if this government has no power to enter Into such gen eral treaties, then it seems to me that it is better not to attemrt to make them, rather than to make the attempt in such shape that they shall accomp lish literally nothing whatever when made. Sincerely yours. THEODORE ROOSEVELT. Senator Cullom read the letter aloud during an executive session of "the sen ate today. It. was received with a great deal of surprise and several senators asserted that, the letter confirmed what they had claimed, namely that the words "treaty" and "agreement" were the essential points. They insisted that if the word "agreement" Instead of "treaty" was used It would give the nresident full newer to negotiate agree ments without submitting them to the senate. He Beat the Fakers.

WHEAT The wheat market this week has been a dead one, the extreme range from high to low being only lc per bushel. Today's closing price on the May option Is only 3-16c away trom the C10& ing price of a week ago. IThe high point itr tne ween was rt'acneu on flionaay, The market has acted very much as trough it was Retting reaay to do some thing, and after reading the following tacts relative to conuitions you can draw your own conclusion as to what that "something is liable to be. Chicago -Jdvicco are to the effect that proressonal Traders are switcnmg from the "bull" to the "bear" side of the mar ket. Reports are to tha effect that the New lorn crowd are sellers on all hard spot World's stocks are nearly 10 million more tnan last vear. i American stocks are 90.714. 0CO bushels, or i,;oo,'juu oustn neis more than last year. Russian stocks increased 3.710.000 bush els, against a decrease of 7,500,000 bushels last year. Foreign cables show a growing desire to let go of their l.oidings. Wheat stocks at St. Louis and Kansas t.ity only decreased 241.000 buyhels in January. The two ponHs nave over five minion rfn.i a hair fushels. Liverpool what stocks are 1,636,000 bush els more than last vear. The visible supply shows an Increase of a,M.wi ousneis, which is practically aouote the increase shown a year ago. St. Louis reports the smallest sales of wheat for shipment than ever before at tnis time ot the year. Winter wheat is n good condition, hav ing had good rains or snows, over the en tire wheat country. Minneapolis advises the country has been selling more freely. Volume of wheat business has been ex tremely small. Flour trade has been very quiet, both at home and abroad-. Mills n:iv- ln-'ii pro ducing more than they have sold, conse quently the flour stocks have Increased. The closing price today for May wheat was $1.1CV per bushei. The clcjing price for My wheat onj year ago today was asc per Dusnei. We beliee that every legitimate "bull" argument has been worn threadbare and is discounted in the 35c advano-i in price. The "bull" took hold of July and Sep tember wheat in February a year ago and boosted the price on July to &'dc and September to 94c, but both "options" de clined later to 85c and 80c, per bushel, re spectively. As the above are nothing but alsolute facts, it looks to us as though the money in wheat is to be made out of the sr.cit side of the market. CORN Trade in corn has broadened out considerably this week and the buying has been of excellent character. Fluctua tions from day to day have been within a narrow range. The tendency of the mar ket has been upward, and tonight's close shows an advance of lc per bushel on both the May and July "options" for the week. Conditions generally indicate con siderably hig.ier prices and in the very near future. Drouth damage in Argen tine will induce exroits in that country at least 20 per cent., as compared with last year, and which means about 20 mil lion bushels. Ocean grain rates have dropped from 33 to 50 per cent. Freight rates on export shipments have been cut about 50 per cent., which will largely in crease shipments to foreign countries and very quickly absorb our serplus. Corn exports via New Orleans and Gal veston during January show an increase of over six million bushels for the month as compared with a year ago. The rail roads report heavy shipments of corn te all seaports for export. Stock feeders are contracting for corn for March, April and Mav delivery and paying a premium over Chicago May price for it. It is reported that one railroad hfls three million bush els of corn in transit to New Orleans for export. Chicago receipts have fallen off about two-thirds. Farmers are no longer free sellers and it is generally believed that the big winter movement is prac tically over. It is more profitable tofeed corn than to ship it to either Chicago or Kansas City on the basis of present prices. July corn is selling between 4 and 5 cents per bushel less than the average price of the crop for 1904. The low price of the May "option" on this year's crop was 434c per bushel. Friday's close on the May "option" was 45c or only 2c per bushel from the bot tom. Two of the largest corn producing states are shipping corn in in place of out and paying practically Chicago May price for it. We believe corn can more easily be advanced 5c than forced down lc. Chi cago July corn advanced 6c per bushel during the month ot February a year ago. If you haven't any corn you had better get some, get it quick, and hold on to it. OATS There is little to be said about the oats market, as same has been prac tically featureless. the advance shown on Friday's close which is only c over a week ago, was no doubt made in sym pathy with corn. Farmers are showing more disposition to sell oats, which is only natural as they will be the first of the coarse grain crops to be seeded and harvested. We believe that liberal quan tities of present stock will be carried over into the next crop. PROVISIONS Hog receipts have been larger than were estmiated. Prices have been stronger. Both the export and home demand for product have been good. Packers have been conspicuous buyers on ail soft spots. Total stocks at the prin cipal packing centers show some increase over a year ago, but as hogs are costing practically the same as they did a year ago and' products selling for from 20 to 25 per cent, less than it sold for during February of last year, we believe the money in provisions is on the long side of the market. During the first 24 days of February a year ago ribs advanced lc per pound, mess pork $3.50 a barrel, and lard $3.25 per tierce. We believe they are all three good, safe investments and will make the pur chasers money, and we believe that when the nroiier time comes the packer will advance prices fully as much or possibly more than he did a year ago. In the face of increased hog receipts this past week the market has neia us own ana tne clos ing quotations tonight were the same as tiinse of .1 week ao, which shows the provision situation to be a very strong one ana in goou, suuug hhhhm. u do not own any pork or ribs you should, and we FUfiirest that you buy them imme diately while you can do so at not to exceed their cost ot production. COTTON The cotton market has been quite active, the extreme range from high to low being 33 points, or $1.65 per bale, which has made the market a splendid scalping one, as .the market has fluctu Co. ated on an average about $1 a bale daily. Secretary Hester's statement of th World's visible supply shows a decrease of 164.5S7 bales from the previous wek. and shows the total American stocks to be 3,510,199 bales, ox compared with 3,682, 786 bales, or a decrease of 100.587 bales. On Monday the market advanced sharply on small receipts and cold weather throughout the south.

THE! TOPiUKA STATE J OURK"AL, SATURDAY ByMNG, FEBRUARY 11, 1905. 7 TOPEKAJJRGAIl. Clarence Eddj Has Been Secured for the Dedication. Imposing Programme Arranged for Friday, Feb. 17. RIVALS M0IUI0X ORGAN Topeka Organ Is Said to Out rank Salt Lake Instrument. Will Prove a Big Factor in Ad vertising This City. The most notable attraction in To peka during the month of February If not of the year is the pipe organ dedication at the Auditorium, which will be held next Friday evening. Feb ruary 17. The new pipe organ In Topeka should gain a reputation for this city Topeka orga.n Is four times greater than any of these, and six times the size of the organ in the Methodist church in Topeka, the largest organ in Topeka before this one was built. The Topeka organ is about 42 feet wide, 32 feet high and 8 feet deep at the base and increasing in depth by projecting over at a height of about 12 feet so from that point to the top it is about 15 feet deep. It has four manuals and in this respect equals all the great or gans of the country, save the mam moth World's fair organ at St. Louis which had five manuals. The organ in the auditorium has fifty stops. The only organs in the west, west of the Mississippi river comparable with this is the great organ in the Morman Tabemacb in Salt Lake City and one in San Francisco. The Salt Lake organ has ten more stops than the auditorium organ, but when the modern accessories are taken into consideration, the To peka organ should outrank the Morman organ. The quality of tone of the new Tope ka organ is yet to be demonstrated, but the promoters of this enterprise feel that they have nothing to fear on ac count of this. The builders, xne w vv Kimball Co. of Chicago, put this organ in to advertise their factory in the west, .nd they have probably spared no pains to have it fully meet expecta tions in this respect. The public will have an opportunity to judge about this on Friday. February 17, when tne aeai catory concert is given, and the pro gram has been arranged with special s'J V- S i -TV v .f-f y f J s K -ft. v f .i.'n Clarence Kddy. "tlic Noted Orsani-st wli Ikis Peen Secured for the Topeka l'ipe Organ Dedication. simMar to that enjoyed by the city of Salt Lake. The Topeka organ, while it lacks a few pipes that the &it L;ie organ has, is said, by competent au thority to greatly excel the Salt Lake instrument, inasmi'.ch r.s it is of mod err, construction, and because it em braces a number of "technical features unknown when the Salt Lake organ was built. The tone quality of the Topeka organ, it is claimed will be equal to that of the Salt Lake in-strun-ent. as the volume of the organ will be found to be greater in the Auditorium here than the volume of the organ in the Auditorium at Sait Lake. Topeka people as a rule are un aware of the magnitude and the gran deur of the instrument which has been set up in the Auditorium. During the earlier stages of its con Ftruction many people took advant age of the opportunity to visit the Auditorium to see the instrument. These who have seen the organ were impressed with a sense of its magni tude and beauty. Clarence Kddy. the greatest of all living organists will be the main at traction upon the occasion of the or gan dedication. Only a master of the use of adjectives may attempt to des cribe in words the effects Mr. Bddy is capable of eliciting from the manip ulation of the hundreds of keys of the organ. Kach of the important band and orchestral instruments are imitated, and 62 pipes or a complete scale is provided for each of the instruments imitated, making a grand total of nearly four thousand pipes. The organ numbers will doubtless prove a revelation to the majority of those who will attend the dedication. An exceptionally entertaining pro gramme has been arranged for the dedication embracing work by the Modoc club. The Topeka Choral so ciety. Marshall's band and Prof. G. 13. Penny and Mr. Clarence Eddy. Up to the time of the erection of this organ the three largest organs in the ptate of Kansas were the organ in the chapel at the State university in Law rence, the organ in the Catholic Ca thedral in Leavenworth and the organ at Bethany college in Lindsboi g. The attention to testing the same in every particular. The free list has been suspended for this occasion. THE WAT OF THE TTtCST. London Manager Disapproves of American Star System. George Edwards, the London manager in an interview given out in New Yolk says: The American star system has im pressed me as very much unlike the London way of doing things. Here everything is subserved to your stars. They must have all the good things in a piece. The supporting company seems not of much moment. In London our stars must be sur rounded with performers who shine al most us brilliantly. The English theater-goer demands that the stage be held while the star is off, md for that reason our companies, in the aggregate, are stronger. Here in New "iork it is the star that attracts. If or she be of sufficient power the support is not of vital consequence. That theaters here in general are so well supported is but proof of the fact that this is the greatest theater city in the world. In London we are glad to fill 169 stalls in a house, while here managers think nothing of disposing of 400 or more. A shilling in London seems to go as far a dollar here. And then look at conditions in Paris that great amusement community, where 9 per cent of every night's pe." formance at a theater goes to the gov ernment and 10 per cent to the author ef the piece before the poor manager gets his hand in at all. But then you can't tax art without making the artist an artisan. That's certain. Speaking of the star system Robert Er.sen says: Every theatrical season witnesses the launching of new stars, and every sea son witnesses the return of some of them to the drydock, even though a Broadway indorsement a well merited one has seemingly equipped them for a prosperous voyage. Then from some part of this western Every penny dip is trying to -shine like a, star nowadays," and the whole sys tem of starring is due for general con demnation. Why should not an actor be permitted to star without sneering allusions to the "vanity" that alone alone prompts the Undertaking. It isn't vanity. It's business. We nev er cavil at the clerk who tries to es tablish himself in a business. We ap plaud his eflort to become the employ er instead of the employe. He is not accuseu of "vanity," but of "laudable ambition." Why should the actor when invited to become a partner in a theat rical venture as every star is, practi cally refuse the opportunity? The head clerk must advance or retrograde into a nonentity's compensation so with the actor. .He must go forward or be thrust backward. It isn't that every actor is consumed with the desire to sea his name in letters three feet high on dead walls, or blazoned in electric lights above a theater. That's a trade mark for his brand of goods, exactly in the same way as thoughhe were a soda cracker or a breakfast food. His desire is the same as the clerk's money, to enable him to provide for old age, to ed ucate his children, to give them com fortable homes, to indulge in some of his cherished desires in the matter of productions. The head clerk has no doubt had ideas that he longed to try, if the day ever arrived, when he had gained a position where his judgment was considered of value. Precisely so with the actor. THE STORY TELLERS. Jokes and Sayings of the Players Told Off the Stage. Charles Hawtrey is telling an amus ing anecdote picked up during one of his tours in Ireland. It seems that two distinguished archaeologists made an excursion to the Isles of Arran, where interesting remains of an archaeological nature exist. They came across a lit tle roueh stone building, and both en tered into a fierce argument as to the exact century of its erection, one main taining it was built in the fifth and th other in the sixth century. A native who had listened to the hot discussion suddenly broke in: "Arrah, yer honors, both of yeze are wrong. 'Twas put up three years ago by Patsy Doolan for his jackass!" "Lew Fields, the comedian, last Wednesday afternoon attended a mati nee performance of a comedy which has not met with any great degree of suc cess during its New York run," says WTilliam Raymond Sill. "As he was leaving the theater he was accosted by a friend who asked him how he had en joyed the play. Well,' responded Fields, 'I wish I had been Metcalfe, editor of Life, about three houra ago.' 'How's that. Lew? asked the friend in surprise. 'If I had been Metcalfe I would not have been admitted to the theater,' an swered Fields as he walked away." Frederick Warde tells of an old bachelor living in Kentucky who. hav ing determined to get married, sought the advice of a married friend on this serious step. He spoke of his farm and money and the material advantages of union with the lady of his choice. but sentiment seemed to have no place in his consideration. After listening carefully to what he had to say on the subject the married friend asked: What if your tastes differ greatly? Suppose, for instance, that she liked Tennyson and you didn't?" "Well," responded the bachelor, "un der those circumstances I suppose- she could go there." i I "Joseph Fields. Lew's 11-year-ofd son, I you don't like it go outside' "Excuse me," retorted the malcon tent. "I have the right to criticise what I have paid for. If I buy pound of butter and find it is bad say so, I have bought a- shilline1 worth of this show and it is an impo sition. 1 want my money back." At this point an attendant inter- Dosed. Clawing, unnarliamentarv language and smashing of furniture ensued. Eventually the champion of playgoers' rights emerged triumphant from the fray. Holding a shilling on hie-h he exclaimed: "It's all right; I've got my money back. The play can now proceed." In a Persian Garden.

WARNER'S SAFE PILLS move the bowels gently and aid a speedy cur. When tourists go to Europe they 'follow the man from Cook." or some other guide, and go to the usual places where the average traveler goes. Last summer, or to sneak more 'accurately. last March a Kansan and his wife went to Europe, and they did not. re turn until August, and they did not follow a specially" planned tourist agent but studied their Baedecker and struck out for themselves. They wandered from the beaten tourist trail and they went to Olympia and saw the famous statue of Hermes credited to the cunning of Praxit eles. Mighty few European junket ers can say when they return from abroad that they really saw this fa-. nous marble, but Senator. George H Hodges, and Mrs. Hodges, -can' say so. W h e n George Hodges was a boy, and even when a young man, he did not have any more idea of gazing upon the chiseled product by Praxiteles than he did that he would plant a rose bush at the furthest point of Cape Horn. George Hodges began his career in Miami county when he was a small tad and just big enough to look over the ton of a wash boiler when he stood erect. To use the usual expression, 'he had journeyed from Wisconsin to Kansas," and at this time was 24 months old. Then ''George Hodges grew taller and larger and older and he herded cattle. He worked on a farm and then he grasped the first opportunity open to him, before the master of hu man destinies could rass him by, and went to work piling fence boards and two by fours and star fioorins: in a lumber yard. He did his work well. He was sturdy and willing to work. He thought the lumber yard should be paved with macadam and he had rock hauled in and he pounded and broke the rock and paved, the yard himself during the dull times in win ter. He was courteous, and he "was promoted to the position of salesman. Then he became foreman in the lum ber yard. Before he was twenty years old he was made manager of a branch: lumber yard. It was not long until he branched out for himself and now the lumber firm of "Hodges Brothers" is well known and the firm is wealthy. When Mr. and Mrs. Hodges reached home last August from their European trip they found that the political brew was boiling over in Miami and Johnson counties and there was a demand that George Hodges, Democrat, make the race against State Senator Sponable, Republican. Hodges had never been in politics with his coat off but he got in then and there, in his shirt r-leeves, and after a campaign of 17 days he defeated Sponable by a majority of 800 while President Roosevelt carried the district by 2,600 majority. When the senate was passing an ap propriation bill to pay the Kansas pres idential electors for their work Senator Hodges remarked: "If they will let us Democrats take the Kansas vote to Washington we will not ask for an ap propriation." The chairman of the senate commit tee on banks and banking is Senator E. R. Fulton, from Marysville, Marshall county. Senator Fulton is serving his second term in the senate and he is looked upon as one of the most able men in that body. Senator Fulton is cashier of the First National bank at Marysville but besides being a banker he is a lawyer. He is a native of Penn sylvania and a graduate of the law department of the University of, Iowa. He went to Hodge man countyi Kan sas, in 1878 and was county attorney for three years. In 18S2 he went to Marys ville and organized the bank.

In another district in the same county, not so wealthy as the one in which I taught, the teacher had 56 pupils, no furnace, a soft coal stove and the salary was $35 a month. This was district No. 4 with less funds but more children than the district in which I taught." The school tax bill was passed by the senate. Senator Getty still holds the record for introducing and securing the pas sage of the longest bill before the senate. It was his drainage bill of 64 pages. Senator Peck was a close sec ond with his negotiable instrument bill also of 64 pages but Getty held the lead because the 64th page of his bill was entirely covered with print while there was but one paragraph on the last page of Senator Peck's bill. Senator Fulton Senator Fulton, has been active in politics. He has been chairman of the Marshall county Republican central committee and has been a delegate to the last five state conventions of his party. He is prom inent in Masonic circles and an officer of the Kansas grand commandery Knights Templar. The thermometer in the senate cham ber climbed steadily up to 78 or. 80 or somewhere in that neighborhood and the chamber was hot, almost, as a wheat field in early June. Senator Du mont Smith's collar wilted and the sen ator was about to when he rose to a question of personal privilege and an nounced that "Along with my other senatorial duties at $3 a day I did not agree to take turjtish baths here," said the senator from Edwards and the sergeant-at-arms opened some windows. Kansas state senatorial district No. 1, at the head of the column, is rep resented in the senate by A. L. Gil bert, from Powhattan. Brown county. senator Gilbert is one of the num erous senators who has taught school but he g-ets ahead of the other sena tors from the fact that he went from the school room to the senate and that after a hot campaign and a more torrid sena torial convention. Soon after the senate began its session a bill was considered to have a state tax of two mills levied for school purposes and the funds raised distributed among the county schools according to the school population. Senator Gilbert made his maiden speech for the bill. He told of the good the bill would do for schools which were in need of funds. "I Senator Noftzger is looked upon as the grammarian of the senate for he watches the grammatical construction of the bills. On several occasions the senate has disputed as to whether in naming the treasurer or auditor of Kansas the title should be auditor of state or state auditor, f Noftzger took rtno ti.i w of tti.

"I appeal from the decision of the chair," shouted Noftzger when the announcement had been made. Then the senators wrangled over the question whether the title should be auditor of state, state auditor, or, as Noftzger would have it "auditor of the state." Finally Senator Benedict began to unfold his six feet and a few inches and to gain the floor. -He ob jested to so much time being spent over a minor matter. "When we arise oh a point of gram mar the senator from Harper (Noftz ger) speaks ex cathedra, said Senator Benedict.

Deplorable Condition in Topeka Seen by an Actor. To the Editor of the -State Journal. I wish to add a word or two from an actor's standpoint to your entirely ju-st and excellent arraignment for the dis graceful condition of the Crawford the ater in Topeka. The Mildred Holland company, of which I am a member, had its last Fri day date open and most of us attended the performance of "Hoity-Toity" in the evening at the Crawford. After a delay of 40 minutes the curtain was Anally rung up and for three hours j 40,000 people there is no open theater more a rair sized auaience sniverea ana wormy or ine Detter attractions. people in general, I wish you God speed. Thanking you for the space you have given me, I remain, very sincerely youis, HENRY C. MORTIMER. Care Mildred Holland Company The theatrical condition in Topeka is indeed disgraceful. There are small towns in Kansas and Oklahoma where the people can go in comfort and safety to enjoy the play, at reasonable' prices, and in creditable, even splendid opera houses. In cities with less than half our numbers there are theaters to which the citizens point with pride, and patronize with pleasure. Is it not remarkable that in this growing capital city of more than few dollars from Mr. Crawford and a few libera lideas exploited by the To peka theatrical combine, possibly aid ed by action on the part of the city authorities, would tend to place To peka where she belongs: In line with other cities of her standing with a good, safe theater, good attractions, fair prices, contented audiences and comfortable players. Eats t oaplotoly Anaihllatel. It needs but a few months' more use of Stearns' Electric Rat and Roach Paste-to completely free the city from the rats and mice with which it was afflicted a year or so ago. Stearns' Paste has been used quite freely in the best residences and in many stores. In all these places there are today no rats, mice or cockroaches. This Paste drives the rats and mice ont of the house to die. and can be depended unon to rid the home of these pests." It is sure death and gives universal satisfaction. Druggists generally have the Paste for sale, or it will be sent, express prepaid on re ceipt of price, by tfie Stearns' Electric Paste Co., Chicago. IH., U. S. A. Small size, 25c; Hotel size, eight times the quantity, $1.00. shook with the penetrating cold th.it existed throughout the theater. Many of us donned overcoats and mufflers af ter the first .act showed no abatement of the frost. Some went home, others walked up and down the lobby to keep warm. Of the result to me personally I can only, say that I was quite ill af ter the performance and have felt the effects of that exposure, and the nxt day's, during all this week. Hot mus tered baths and warm drinks imme diately after reaching my hotel, alone averted pneumonia. And my experience was probably only one of many who were there. The next day, Saturday, we had the doubtful pleasure of playing in this elegant and modern temple of Thespis. We arrived at the theater as usual about 1:30 p. m., to prepare for the matinee. We found the whole back of the house open, scenery being hauled in when it should have been up in the forenoon the dressing rooms small, cold, absolutely without heating apparatus of any kind what soever and pierced at intervals Dy chimney holes which served as an ex cellent draught system for a company in undress. As to the sta.ge above it was quite the same, both with respect to mean little dimensions dangerous stairways, general iciness and an at mosphere of dirt and neglect. The principal point in all this matter is that there is no reason for such conditions existing in Topeka. The people of the city are liberal patrons of theatrical offerings, and the Craw ford has been a paying house for years I was here before with "Eben Hold en," Sunday, October IS, 1903 and we packed them to the dome. It is there fore evidently the same rapacity and greed that was responsible for the Iroquois horror combined with muni cipal laxity that winks at such evas ions of law as exist in the Crawford, that Is responsible for this disgrace and blofr unon the city of Topeka. When-I say "rapacity and greed" as applied to the Interests that control this theater I speak advisedly, having had the misfortune to have been connect ed at one time with a traveling organ ization under the management of one of the Crawfords with headquarters at Topeka. I know whereof I speak and will receive corroboration from the ma jority of professionals who have been associated with this management. As far as my influence lies in the pro fession, individually and through the actors' society and other mediums, I shall do all in my power to give pub licity, to the ridiculous conditions pre valent at Topeka in theatrical affairs, and for your part in enlightening the The players suffer, the public suf fers and the short-sighted manage ment suffers. Why is it? Fifteen years ago Topeka was in better shape, theatrically, than today. Why must we go backward? We have too many cheap shows, too tew good ones, too high prices for the fair ones. Conditions can never be right till they change. The Crawford management control ling the Grand by a lease, keeps it closed, keeps any one else from using it and permits a fine and safe theater to go into decay from vacancy and neglect. Why is Topeka punished by the amusement syndicate? How long will Topeka stand it? -There appears in this paper today an advertisement of an attraction, "As You Like It." at the Crawford next week. This advertisement comes di rect from the Florence Gale company. It is unfortunate that there is no suit- able theater open for this engagement, under the auspices of the Women's Federated clubs. Many of those who go will go under protest and who feel that this is their only cnance to see Shakesperean productions. Many others will not go, preferring to stay away to take the chances by patronizing an opera house conducted under present conditions. Probably no one is in better posi tion to help Topeka to a safe theater, to good attractions at fair prices than Mr. John R. Mulvane, president of Bank of Topeka. Mr. Mulvane is one of the wealthiest men in the west, he has been identified with many enter prises which are most important to Topeka's welfare and has the good of the city at heart. He has been close to the Crawford Amusement concern. While he declares he is not a part ner of Crawford, the facts are that he has been a strong business sup porter of Crawford; that the Craw ford opera house today stands assessed in the name of the Bank of Topeka; that Mr. Mulvane is a party to a plan which for a year or more has had under consideration the purchase of the Grand opera house. Crawford, it is reported, has made much money in St. Louis He con trolled there one of the best and safest theaters in the country, the uaeon. xi is reported in the papers mat ne i buying Kansas ranches with the sur plus.

Low temperature and norms interrupted traffic- to some ex tent, but accelerated business in heavy wearing apparel, overshoes and fuel.

The advancing season is bringing out more demand for structural shapes, while specifications on contracts for plates keen mills busv. 'Notwithstanding the firmer tone of the raw material, several varieties of cotton goods have been reduced and the market developed much irregularity. Instead of stimulating business, as ex rected. the concessions have caused buyers to act with increased conserva tism. Purchases are still limited to ur gent requirements.

Dry goods, shoes, groceries, hardware, millinery and lumber at wholesale have all sold better of late and certainly in larger volume than at this date a year ago, which latter per iod, however, saw somewhat of a. halt occurring. Cold weather. enow and Fleet have interfered with river trans portation and with the telegraph ser vice throughout the entire south. 7 "Industry remains as active as here tofore and the iron trade confirms the best reports heretofore made in statis tics showing production and consump tion the heaviest ever recorded. Col lections are still a subject of com plaint, apparently feeling the effect of w eather conditions dulling rail distribu tion, which in a few lines, however, such as shoes, rubbers and heavy wear poods, has been favored by the incle ment weather. Money Is still phenome nally easy and a temporary check to the heavy outgo of gold is noted. Some benefits from climatic conditions are rioted, likewise some drawbacks. An thracite coal demand has been stimula ted at the east and prices are very firm. The west has taken more fretly of bituminous grades, which are report ed in rather better supply there. The labor situation is on the whole favor able, but the perennial unrest in the New York building trades is ag.iiri manifesting itself with great possibili ties for future trouble. "The general undertone is still one of undiminished confidence in a large trade when winter's grip is finally bro ken and mild weather arrives.

English Bishop Argues That They Have. In the course of an address on "Teachings From the Zoo," delivered at the monthly service for men at Blackburn Parish church. Bishop Thornton, assistant bishop of Man chester, expressed the opinion that the lower animals possessed souls as well as minds. Brutes, he explained, have not souls in the popular theology, which speaks of the soul as the ex clusive endowment of man; but Scrip ture uses the very same word for the "living soul" of the brute as for that of man, reserving the word "spirit" to denote the special endowment of man kind. "Yes," said Bishop Thornton, "the soul of man, by which he hopes and fears, rejoices and sorrows, loves and hates, seems shared by him with the lower animals. It is that in his im material nature which hangs suspend ed between the flesh and the spirit, capable of being dominated, as in brutes, by the animal propensities capable, as in a sanctified man. of be ing linked up with what is spiritual, immortal and divine. This sotl and spirit are not only identical, but may be in conflict with one another. The writer to the Hebrews speaks of the 'dividing of the soul and spirit, of the joints and marrow.' Yes, the lower animals have souls, and exhibit what may be called moral qualities. They display sympathy, generosity, courage or cowardice; they evince pride, jeal ousy, vindictiveness; they manifest roguery and what may be called con scientiousness. Time fails me to give examples, but we all remember the hound Gelert, who let himself be slain by his mistaken master when, at the cost almost of his own life, he had saved the master's child from the wolf whose blood, and not the child's, was on his muzzle. "Some would draw the inference," continued his lordship, in answer to a question, "not only that the brutes pos sess souls, or a moral and emotional nature in which I should agree with them but even that a resurrection and a personal immortality is before them. One cannot treat contemptuously an opinion, however startling, that has been entertained not only by savage peoples, but by such thinkers as Luth er, Butler, soutney, Lamartine, and Mrs. Somerville. Among the argu ments used in favor of it are such as these: The body of a brute is indestruc tible, for, although it dissolves, its con stituent parts never really perish. If, then, the brute has a nobler and im material part, why should not that a fortiori be conceived? And as its im material part is indivisible, it must, if it survive death at all, exist on in its integrity, which means immortality for brutes, or, at any rate, transmigration or reincarnation. "Others demur to these reasonings. Tf there be future reward for brutes, they urge, there must be future pun ishment, which, for some reason, one feels it impossible to believe. Indeed, the individual brute life is not import ant enough to demand a future to re dress its deficiencies. A horse has ful filled adequately the aim and ideal of his being if he has served the conven ience of man, ministered to his needs and innocent pleasures. That after death it should minister to the nourish ment of his pack of hounds is. on the whole, no inappropriate or even un worthy conclusion of his career. As for the moral qualities discoverable in brutes, it is said they have been over rated. There is no touch in these with what is spiritual, divine, eternal. Con science in brutes amounts to little or nothing more than a fear of punishment or the hope of sensual gratification. "If you look around the zoo and study the denizens of its cages you may find there resemblance and cor respondence and kinship to man in bodily structure, mental endowment, and moral quality; but you will utterly fail to find the least trace of one characteristic of man his grandest the want of which differentiates the lower animals absolutely from the hu man race. And what is this? Spirit capacity for religion. Seriously, is there discernible in any animal known to zoologists besides man aspiration, contemplation, self-introspection, awe, self-denial, chastity, filial duty, humil ity, as we understand those ideas? To ask the question is to answer it. Here, then. Is the grand distinction between man and beast. Man is ca pable of religious experience. He is capable of sin, of superstition, of idolatry, of vice, of which no brute is ever guilty: but he is capable, too. of a spiritual and therefore an eternal life, to which so far as we can learn from the brutes they are utter strangers. There is a something in man which tinges and elevates all that he shares with them, transfiguring it into what is different from anything they pos sess." London Daily Telepgraph.

On Sunday at 3:30 Mr. E. B. Smith will give his third tatk on the life of Christ, illustrated by stereopticon, which is one of the best in the city. Miss Hazel Kaiser, whose singing so deeply impressed the railroad men two weeks ago, when she rendered "The Holy City" will on next Sunday sing "Rock of Ages." which will be illustrated by splendid views. All men are welcome to these helpful meetings. The practical talk given by Ralph Cratn on last Wednesday night on "A Trip Around the World" and stopping at the Philippines, was very interest ing. About 100 views were shown with the stereopticon. The views were taken hv Mr. Orain himself. A. O. Beach sang "The Sunny South,"' which was illustrated by a fine collection of views. The talk was so practical that Mr. Crain was requested, to give another along the same line next Wednesday at 8:30 p. m., for men only. This sec ond lecture will also be illustrated by Mr. Crain'e views and the solos "Tenting; Tonight on the Old Camp Ground" and "Where the Silvery Col orado Wends Its Way" will be illu strated and sung. The gospel meeting at the coach shop Thursday noon was addressed ,by assistant E. B. Smith. The lecture on "Scenes in Foreign Countries" by Dean Jas. P. de B.

The Washington Post recently said: "Those who have gone to the Alps with Stoddard, to Scanda navia with Burton Holmes, or to the star worlds with Garret Serviss, had the pleasure of their visits renewed when viewing the grandeur of the Colorado mountains through the med ium of McClurg's lecture."

Women's I Club News The Topeka federation of women's clubs has undertaken the patronage of the presentation of Shakespeare's As You Like It by Florence Gale at the Crawford theater next Wednes day, February 15. The federation has made an advantageous arrangement with the managers of the company by which it is hoped they will make a ccnsiderable sum of money to meet the expenses of the state federation meeting in Topeka in May. For this reason aside from the merits of the As You Like It performance, which is said to be well worth while, club women should patronize the entertain ment if possible. Subscription tickets may be secured of Mrs. A. H. Horton, president of the city federation, 921 Monroe street, or at the box office of the theater, and their holders will be given a day's advantage in securing seats which will be opened to the sub scribers Monday morning, the regu lar seat sale to commence Tuesday. The art committee appointed from the federation to consider a plan to bring an exhibit of the work of Ameri can painters to Topeka some time this winter or spring met with Mrs. C. O. Knowles Wednesday. No definite ar rangements were made but the prob abilities are that the exhibit will not be secured before May when it wil! be a desirable adjunct to the state fed eration meeting. The committee visit ed the new manual training high school to see of it offered a suitable places for the exhibit but the place is still as indefinite as the time. The Ceramic Art club will meet with Miss Jennie Bross, 1015 Harri son street next Wednesday. The Good Government club will meet with Mrs. J. D. McFarland Thursday afternoon. The annual Lincoln Day dinner of Western Sorosis will be given in the Y. W. C. A. rooms Monday night. The program is in charge of Miss Effie Graham.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 11, 1905. vance ARIS, Jan. 28. The bored old smart society world was made to Bit up recently and take a little interest in life after an afternoon tea given by Mrs. Mackay at her new apartment in the Avenue da Bois tie Boulogne, which is a rev elation in the ivay of luxury and com fort. The exquisite taste and original ideas of Mrs. Mackay are displayed in every part of this Hat, which occupies an entire floor in -one of the large buildings of the Bois. -Her guests found themselves ushered into a great hall done in the softest colorings of French blue and white. The drawing room is very French, with lovely tap estries, aubusson carpet and Louis Seize furniture. Leading from this room is the most attractive boudoir connecting with a dainty pink and white bedroom having its marble bath room beyond. A few Intimate friends entered these sanctums, but the guests raved over the dining room, with its priceless tapestry against white walls and tapestry pictures in panels thrown into relief by crimson satin window curtains. Altogether the apartment is a delightful example of what unlim ited wealth and artistic taste combined may accomplish in a Parisian flat. Is there ever a time when the dress question is not absorbing the mind of the feminine sex? Indeed, dress nowa days is accorded a literature of its own, and fashion articles appear in al most every paper one picks up. I some times think we fashion chroniclers may boast as long a lineage as the more aristocratic writers of literature, for was not the written description of Jo seph's coat of many colors the earliest fashion article? Or does the tradition al fig leaf gown take precedence? Whatever the outcome of the argument, the fact is still extant that the planning of the early spring and summer ward robe is the vexed subject of the modis tlc hour. The best couturieres are away at Cannes, Nice and Monte Carlo watch ing the success of each other's crea tions. These places are at present a hora concurs for the pet confections of sartorial master minds, and the styles most approved on the Riviera will be duplicated later at Autuell, at the pring meet of modes and horses. A few landmarks are vouchsafed us concerning leading dress features for the coming season. Among them is the continuance of full skirts, short shoul dered effects ind pointed bodices, and we may be positive that the directoire and Louis styles will hold over the summer season. Materials as yet re not obviously different from those of yesterday. Linens are seen In the shops In all kinds of weaves from the heavy Bhirt waist suit variety to the sheerest of handkerchief linens for lingerie waists and dainty frocks. That it is to be a white season is another foregone conclusion, and the early spring tailor mades are all in light shades of cloth. These gowns are devoid of much of the "fussiness" that made some of the win ter creations look mo overladen. The skirts, as a rule, are made to just touch the ground ana are fujit having a de cided swing at the feet. Much cording has to be resorted to in order to give this modish effect. I M I I 1. 1 I I I I I I I I I I I I I i I I I I I O O A. LITTLE FUN. ST. ALTHOUGH for a number of years a past the popularity of St. Valentine's, day has been con siderably on the wane, inter est in the old observance is by no means dying out. It is simply taking other and more up to date phases than the custom among young people of sending poetical souvenirs to their sweethearts on the 14th of February, the festival of St. Valentine, martyr. The modern notion of observing St. Valentine's day is supposed to have originated from allusions made by Chaucer and Shakespeare to this date being the mating time of birds. The truth of this statement matters very j little so long as the day continues to be kept in the old fashion. It would be a pity if such a pretty custom -should sink Into oblivion, as so many of the old world observances have in this very practical and strenuous age of ours. But as all the world still acknowledges Its love of a lover we are in no imme diate danger of abolishing Dan Cupid's especial festival. The valentine of yore has been super seded, as every one knows, by the send ing of flowers and bonbons arranged in a manner symbolic of this saint's day. Almost everything fanciful and pretty makes an attractive offering for the oc- casion. Particularly new and dainty are the little shirt waist sets consisting of buckles and studs in the appropriate valentine pattern. There are a number of ways of mak ing a valentine's function delightful, yet new suggestions are always wel come. Perhaps there is no anniversary party more easily arranged than the valentine party, and certainly none af fords greater opportunities .for a jolly time. As the fan from time immemorial has been the effective and heart ensnaring weapon of the coquette and in the lan guage of sentiment has a vocabulary all its own. a fan party for St. Valentine's night would be both an appropriate and unique entertainment. A party of this kind would necessarily be made up of games and puzzles in which the fan plays a prominent part. Red is the col or usually selected for a St. Valentine's decoration. The drawing room then might be made more attractive if a few vases were filled with red roses or bunches of brilliant red carnations ar ranged in artistic effects. Hearts cut Irem red cardboard help out the deco- Hints of Fans In tailor mades everything depends, of course, on cut and fit. Now that small waists are in again and tight fit ting coats are the dernier cri of Dame Fashion the tailor is put on his mettle. But In these new examples are seen couturiere touches combined with the heavy pressing, cutting and stitching associated with the tailor and his work. It always seems to me that a really good figure requires more correct fit ting than one not so good. Fortunately nowadays there is no excuse for any one not to have, an attractive figure, since the corset has been brought to such excellence. Surpliced effects have crept Into the bodices of tailor made gowns, and pet ticoat fronts are a feature of the skirts. At first glance the sleeves of the new dresses look quite commonplace, but on close inspection many of them prove to be very elaborate, especially those on evening frocks. Altogether the manche is the important item of a costume, whatever its destination, whether it is for wear in the street, to grace a ball room or to adorn a home gown. In the advanced models there is less fullness at the elbow, and the graceful flowing drapery depending from this point of vantage is no more. From the elbow to the shoulder there is a restricted sort of fullness which in many models is puffed out with a thin wire. Paquin is rather leaning to leg of mutton effects in his sleeves, with a touch all his own of some unique char acter about the lower portion. Just what form the sleeve of the spring will take will remain a mystery until after the return of the couturieres from the IIII1I11IIIIIIIFII1 Iflllll f o rR lliiiiiii'iiiiiiil 1 it -'I rA Chimin wj VALENTINE'S DA.Y rative scheme and are especially ef fective in the dining room, where they may be used singly or in festoons. A large heart outlined with red roses makes a charming centerpiece for the supper table. The menu should contain dishes which carry out the prevailing sentiment of the day. A heart salad, for instance, is easily made by molding tomato jelly into small individual forms of that shape. They are placed on small lettuce leaves. Of course may onnaise Is used as a dressing for the salad. The St. Valentine's cake must be an ornamental structure decorated with true lovers' knots and two hearts pierced with an arrow. Before baking the cake should have stirred into its batter the traditional ring, thimble and piece of money. These symbols indi cate for the year at least whether the guest who finds either of them in his share of the cake shall be married first, shall remain single or shall marry for money. The decorations and menu having been settled, the games for the fan party are the next consideration. The festivities could begin very successfully with a fan riddle game. For this play the hostess will provide six plain Japa- r boring rasm south of France. Then something defi nite will be forthcoming. Certainly the blouse and bolero jack ets will be the approved styles for spring and summer wraps. We are never tired of these modes, and the in finite variety possible in a jacket of this kind always makes it a thing of Individuality and charm. In the face of this assertion I am" going to describe a costume which is now disporting it- self in the south, made with a tight fit ting short jacket. The gown material s pastel green cloth, with epaulets over the shoulders. The skirt and jacket are trimmed with scrolls of rib bon in the same shade. Another frock destined for the same sunny clime is a very simple creation in silver gray veiling trimmed with vel vet ribbon several nuances darker, which forms a basket work design on skirt and bodice. The sleeves are wrin kled elbow affairs. Parisians are still true to these trying sleeve lengths, and to make matters worse for the women with unlovely arms fashion now de crees that the graceful ruffle at the elbow be left out of the scheme. Never have summer- dress fabrics been so fascinating. Everthing in the way of cotton material masquerades as silk, and there are etamines that look wk-- a VA It w AM IlflllllllllTflllllflllfTf IIIlIfllfllflTllIIIIlIflll ftlllllll IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIJ lII.IlflTIIllirillltfll (IIIIIIIII THE VALENTINE PARTY. nese fans. If these fans are not procur able homemade affairs constructed of cardboard prettily decorated with a de sign at the top in water colors and a knot of ribbon for a handle are a good substitute.

There are wash ma terials that are perfect imitations of grenadine, but whether they will sur vive a bath is another question. How ever, with care a gown of this grena- nature. Care should be taken that the saws selected are ones easily repre sented by pictures cut from advertise ments. The proverbs are mounted, one on each fan, by means of these clip pings, and each fan is plainly lettered in gold. The rebus fans are then hung on the wall, and the players are asked to guess the proverbs illustrated. A small card with a miniature pencil attached is given each guest for writing down the answers, which must be lettered to cor- resiiu., A prize is given' the winning competitor. It may be an Inexpensive little orna ment having a fan decorative treat- dine may be worn all summer without a trip to the laundry. There is very little change In shirt waist suits. The plaited short skirt will be the approved summer model. The waists will have a short shoulder ed effect, and the epaulet of last year will.be seen no more on smart blouses. The sleeves will be full at the top and fit plain into a regulation cuff or nar row band. Many of these waists have deep yokes of broderie anglaise. By the way, this attractive trimming is again to have as much of a vogue as It had last summer. Long coats of this broderie are to be worn over sheer lin en shirts, and Jaunty little jackets of the attractive dentille are to "be donned with- a skirt of linen trimmed with bands of the broderie anglaise. Just so long as the coat and skirt fe ver remains so long doubtless will the blouse be our familiar friend. I have seen the daintiest waists made of lace, the pattern outlined with fine, colored chenille, a becoming finish being given th- neck, and waist by a velvet collar, cuffs and girdle. To embroider a length of lace and make a blouse for oneself would be a pleasant pastime for clever fingers. In this agreeable way a really charming blouse can be made at comparatively small cost. Among the pretty accessories of the toilet are lace collars and cuffs em- broidered in pompadour flowers of rib bon. The same novel idea is carried out in the smart new suede belts, the buckles being composed of these ribbon flowers. Another becoming neck ar rangement particularly suited to the requirements of a long, swanlike throat ment Such a present would be equally fitting for a prize winner of either sex. Fan portraits provide another amuse ment for the valentine party. On twelve fans are mounted an equal number of portraits of celebrated men or women. It is an easy matter to select these por traits from the penny prints for this purpose, but be sure not to use the faces of celebrities too well known. The pictures are cut into ovals or squares and neatly mounted on the fans. The guests sit in a circle, and the fans are passed around for inspec tion. The cleverest guesser wins the game. Lots of fun is a fan race. For this exciting contest two persons are se lected, armed with fans and small pieces of paper folded after the manner of a cocked hat and fastened with pins. The race consists in wafting these pa pers around the room, using the fan3 as waf ters. The player who comes out victorious challenges another one of the guests as an opponent, and so the race runs on until but one person re mains. A book on the history of fans would be a nice prize for this exciting and sporty game. To add a spice of merriment at the beginning of the fan race the partners may be chosen by matching hearts. Paper hearts are torn in two and the pieces put into two baskets, to be drawn and matched. This method of playing the game affords much merriment. The well known game of hearts when played with St. Valentine features is a is made with val lace. An inch wide piece of lace is gathered on a narrow band of swlss. On the other edge of the band Is a ruffle of narrower lace. Over the Swiss band iB a beading, through which is run black' velvet rib bon or a handsome gutmpe. I have one startling novelty to report which, like the children with their sugar plums, I have reserved for the last. This sartorial bonne bouche is an innovation in artistic blending. In stead of following some will o' the wisp of harmony the daring Parisian now elects to wear with her velvet or cloMi skirt a, waist, of mousseline de soie doublure in such startling. contrasts as dahlia- and mauve, red and eau de nil, violec and reseda. These combinations do sound violent, but Parisians are past masters in daring flights of fancy and In this instance simply live up to their reputation. CATHERINE TALBOT. An Expensive Fashion. It is now the fashion for a man to give his fiancee a jewel for each month. In January he offers her a garnet as an emblem of constancy; in February an amethyst as an emblem of peace; in March the red bloodstone, an emblem of his courage in her defense. The dia mond belongs to April, and this ha of fers as a sign of her innocence and pu rity, while in May he chooses an emer ald, which he means to indicate the happiness of true love. The agate he presents in June as a gauge of health; it is even believed to possess magic qualities which insure health. In July he offers a ruby, which means that he will forgive and forget any little faithlessness; in August, the opal, as a sign of his own fidelity, while in September he gives the chrysolite, which is supposed to protect the wearer against madness. The sapphire is October's stone and Indicates hope, while the topaz, in No vember, is a pledge of friendship. For December the turquoise is reserved and is, meant as a talisman Insuring suc cess. Some men combine all these stones in one Jewel, a heart or a pendant, and write the various sentiments they are intended to convey into a poem or a series of wishes. The idea is an at tractive one. It is said that the various sentiments which are attached to the stones are traditions culled from an cient lore. A Newly DlsooTrreil Gem. The recent fliscovery in the' mines of San Diego county, Cal., of a new pre cious stone has, from the unique quali ties in the find, caused no little stir among mineralogists, and notably this is the case with Professor E. S. Dana of Yale, Dr. Charles Baskerville of the University of Carolina and Profesor George F. Kunz, president of the New York Mineralogical club. In fact, in compliment to the last named miner alogist the find has been named kun zite. In color the new gem is a beautiful peach pink. It is more brilliant than the topaz and has greater luster than the sapphire. Experts define the gem as "the rose of jewels." It is very fluorescent. Exposed to the X rays kunzite becomes phosphores cent, and after exposure it will, if placed in the dark, photograph itself upon a piece of sensitized paper, i Taffeta Govrna. Taffeta gowns, in sunset effects are profusely decorated with narrow frills, and in order that the chameleon tints may be displayed the frills have to be gathered very full and double hemmed to keep the edges as rigid as possible. aatlsfarlnrv feature for a Cuoid Dartv. Each table is decorated and called by the name or a certain color, wnite, goia, silver, blue, pink, and so on. The floral arrangement of each table corresponds to the color selected, and suspended above the table is a strip of cord of the same shade. The. E-nests nnon arriving are blind folded and draw slips of paper, on each of which is written the name of a color. There are four slips of each color, and the four persons arawing Diue, say, begin at the blue table. To add to the fun the game of hearts is played with fhp "black ladv." or ace of spades. The r-i niovoM winning- most noints at anv particular table progress to the table next in line. At the same time two large paper hearts of the colors worn by the players are strung on the cords over the tables. After the first play these colors become very much scat tered. Two persons meeting at a table wearing the same colors play as part ners. The game is won by the color whose card has secured the greater number of paper hearts at the close of the series. The winners draw lots among themselves for the prizes. Pretty valentine favors matching the different tables in color are given. The girls at the blue table wear becoming lingerie hats of this charming color, and the men receive bunches of blue violets. As a last suggestion I woutd recom mend a Dickens costume party, with the lovers in the novels best known as guests. We know the characters of Dickens so well and have pictured them so many times over that to sketch the costumes blindfold would be an easy matter. Then, as a general rule, the characters' costumes are inexpensive and require no great ingenuity on the part of the dressmaker, to reproduce. FLORENCE WIBERLY. Don't Use Cheap Thlmblea. A soreness in what is called the tv,irr,vi. finq-pr and even serious inflam- etimes caused by the use of cheap thimbles. These thimbles, which are composed of lead or some thing equally injurious, may be tempt ing by reason of their low price, but theyare not safe. Silver thimbles are the best, but for those to whom they prove too expensive, nothing is better than thimbles of highly burnished steel. By a person who gains her living with her needle a steel thimble is always liked, for It will outlast two or three of the more expensive silver. To Freierre the Teeth. The best way to preserve the teeth is to use lukewarm water and brush them two or three times a day. It is most important to use a soft brush for the purpose. Many folks injure their teeth irrevocably by using hard and inferior bristles. Precipitated chalk is an ex cellent medium to use for the purpose, while carbolic tooth powder will keep the teeth from decaying. Fancy Ball Costume THIS Pierrot fancy ball costume is carried out in a dull white silk or satin cloth of the same shade. The Jaunty decollete Jacket has a sep arate gored basque trimmed with white silk pompons. About the neck and hanging over the wrinkled sleeves are ruffles of white mousseline de soie. The skirt is sharply gored at the top and hangs in bouffant effect at the ankles. Pompons dot the skirt at the hem. A full Pierrot ruche of mousse line is becoming disposed about the throat. High heeled white slippers adorned with pompons dress the feet. The hat is a fantastic affair made of the gown material. Dren. There Is a new and pretty tweed called "gamefeather," which looks ex tremely well made up as a Norfolk suit. This can be procured in water proof, made by a new method recently discovered and said to be founded on much the same principle as the plum age of birds, which successfully resists all wet. For rough wear there is noth ing like a good tweed, and a Norfolk coat particularly commends itself for all forms of violent exercise, the waist belt keeping the coat in place and the chest and shoulder plaits permitting of a cer tain amount of expansion, so that the arms can be used without any feeling of restraint. All Klnda of I.I n r a In Vogrne. Every kind of linen, from the very coarsest to the finest, is in vogue, and never has Dame Fashion had so many varieties to place before her votaries. Loosely woven crashes flecked with color and coarse linens spangled with small rings of raised embroidery of the same color or of a darker shade are among the very newest designs.

Speaking of shopping, have you ever noticed the different ways in which it is done? On the avenue there is the greatest regard for the customer's com fort.

On the thirtieth anni versary of the day when Mrs. Saun ders first became a typewriter a beau tiful gold watch was presented to her by a leading typewriter company in New York.

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL QUEEN IN EUROPE. Amelie of Portugal has been adjudged the most beautiful queen in Europe. Sue has frequently been spoken of as a "Portuguese beauty," being however not Portuguese at all, but French. Her father was the Count of Paris, one of the Orleans princes who were banished from France. Quean Amelie's first beauty recipe is to cultivate intellectual gifts. She declare ti,,, 4 mr! hv Af) 11 t'if ill Wftmon -i w ,V "w majesty apparently believes any Roman can make herself charming, and perhaps the beautiful queen is right. She herself is a graduate of medicine. She has also studio V, J. d.. Uu. llUeie anu an expert swimmer. With her own roval hands not long ago she, rescued three persons from drowning. A skiff in which hey were was caps.zed in the breakers. They clung to the upturned boat, and the queen swam to them and tugged the boat within reach of safety. The lovely Amelie recommends all women to live outdoors as much as possible and take a livins interest in human affairs. XPLAJNS the Meth ods of Shoppers and of Shopkeeper Bar gain Hunting as Fine Art A. Frenchwoman's Idea of How to "Reno vate" a Room Timely Fashion Suggestions Slip tent. Shopping is business to be rush ed through as soon as possible. Here there is but one price, the standard one. It is paid or charged, and the customer flutters away to more con genial occupations. But the establishments which cater to the class that buys at 29 cents or at are the ones that illustrate shop ping as a fine art. There is much walking around, much feeling of mate rial, much asking of prices. The shop per usually has a friend with her, whom she consults volubly ai.d to the edification of all around. At the bar gain sale table a terrific rush is going on, and goods are almost torn as they are passed from hand to hand for in spection. Once free from the madden ing throng, the dusty, thirsty buyer goes to the soda water counter and indulges in a nine cent sticky beverage. The candy counter also does a thriv ing business if one Is to judge by the rattle of the metal shovel in and out of the bonbons "marked down for today to 8 cents a quarter of a pound." Now and then a baby cries as it is yanked along relentlessly, regardless of the way it is wedged between fat old ladies with bundles, but lis mother proceeds feverishly, bent on losing no time and doing "all her list" that day or perish in the attempt. Indeed, shopping is a nerve exhaust ing, soul absorbing performance with the customers of these stores. Carrying the Umbrella. Of course we all know the fashionable way of carrying an umbrella, not modestly by the handle, but al most by the middle, much as a man carries his cane. Some women even go to extremes and swing it right She inserted the point of jauntily. That is Tier umbrella into me. all right enough, but in a crowd it is just as well to be unfashionable and let the point touch the ground oc- I I I I I I 11 I I I I I I I i I 1 I I I 11 I old woman, she is the oldest typewriter still in regular, active service in the world. That is why she received the beautiful watch. Mrs. Saunders was not quite the first woman to enter the field of typewrit ing, which in the beginning was thought to belong to men. One or two women pioneered the path along with her, but they have long since dropped out. An uncommon kind of typewriter was Mrs. Saunders, however. She be gan in the early day of the writing ma chine, and its possibilities were not yet developed. Mrs. Saunders herself as sisted to arrange the first leading key board, the one on which the others are based. She was so pleasing of pres ence and refined and at the same time so capable that she was selected as tit- u i X'- T 1 h A 1 if JJfj i f 'i v i 5 I t, ,v j I s -V 'U c iCi I if;- i.sJ 1 s 1 V I 'V I j 1 I V i M 1 1 t" C casionally instead of other people's eyes or backs. I speak feelingly. I have just been out with a rather swagger acquaintance, and she only inserted the point of her umbrella into me three times as she pressed me to go on ahead. "Oh, it's so hard keeping a house in order!" sighed a wornout looking wo man I know. "You have to keep at it all the time, fixing your bureau drawers and your bundles, sorting things and putting moth balls in them." Keeping Old Things. "Why on earth do you keep so many odds and ends?" I exclaimed. "Why not do away with what you don't need "Oh, I can't "bear to throw things 1 I I I I M I I 1 I I I I I I I 1 I I I I I M I general traveling agent, to go from city to city and introduce the new writing machine. She was a, very young wo man then, but she accomplished her mission bravely and introduced the first typewriters in Chicago, St. Louis, Cincinnati and other places. Seeing from her skill and knowledge what one woman could do on the. type writer, business men who needed some body to write letters for them did not hesitate to employ other young wo men. Thus a new field of work for the feminine sex was opened. After introducing the type machine through the middle west Mrs. Saun ders went to New York, where she be came bookkeeper, correspondent and xaminer of policies for one of the leading life insurance companies of the United States. She also had charge of the company's real estate accounts. All this meant heavy and responsible du ties for an attractive young woman fond of society and gay life, yet Mrs. Saunders stuck to her post year after year. She was a widow with a tiny daughter to support and educate. At length in 1891 Mrs. Saunders was asked to go to London to introduce a new typewriting machine. She sailed away merrily, taking her daughter with her. They spent a year in London, Mrs. Saunders serving as agent and manager for the company. She also opened a school of instruction in the use of the new machine. A hundred pupils attended the classes." So highly was she appreciated that at the close of the year, when she returned to America, the pupils gave her a hand some diamond brooch as a token of their appreciation. Mrs. Saunders is a slender, graceful woman with white hair and a merry, bright blue eye. She has a charming manner and a sweet voice. To know her is to be her friend and to have her for a friend always, so sincere and kindly is she. Among her treasured possessions is a brief note written thir ty years ago by the inventor of a lead ing typewriting machine informing her that in a few weeks he would be able to give her a place as agent to intro duce his invention. In leisure hours Mrs. Saunders recre ates herself with music, and she is an accomplished pianist. She and her i daughter have a pretty home in New Tork city. It is pleasing to know that all demo cratic feeling has not yet departed from American society, even from the mil lionaire set. Last summer among American women presented at the British court was Mrs. Samuel New house, formerly of Denver, now of Lon don and New Tork. Mrs. Newhouse is a popular entertainer in London socie ty and a close friend of King Edward's friend, Mrs. George Keppel. She is beautiful, accomplished and graceful and one of the best dressed even of American society women. Her place as a leader In the most exclusive set is unquestioned. Tet all the so called blue blooded folk who hobnob with Mrs. Newhouse know well that less than twenty years ago this refined, brilliant society leader cooked for min ers in a camp in the Rocky mountains; also these fine folk know that her mother, Mrs. Stingley, a plucky south ern woman, kept a boarding house in Denver and that Samuel Newhouse, an ambitious and shrewd young business man from Boston, made his headquar ters at Mrs. Stingley's, where he saw, loved and won the daughter of the house, a pretty girl in her teens. i my VALENTINE She was regnant of the lilies. My princess, -And the roses waited on her As her rightful maids of honor, She dispensing praise or pardon In her kingdom of the garden.

She had other courtiers there Even then. Though the clumsy creatures were Merely men. But we humbly owned her sway While she held her laughing court, And we loved her as men may Not, alas, as subjects ought! Ah, princess, we were but human Did you guess?

She was her husband's con stant companion and helper till at length he struek it rich how rich he is today Plutus knows and then the lit tle wife took her place in the social sphere, proud before all the world that she was able to be so nobly useful in working with her hands in the early years. When the true history of the mod ernizing of China comes to be written it will be found that no mean part was Af y -W- if MRS. MARY A. SAUNDERS. taken in it by a gentle, noble woman from this country, Mrs. E. H. Conger, wife of the American minister at Pe king during the beginning of the em pire's transformation. It has been not ed how liberal minded the "terrible old woman" of China is becoming. She gives audiences to foreign ladies, some thing that could not possibly have happened a few years ago. Her state policy has been so revolutionized that now apparently the best thing that can happen to China will be for Tsi An to live on and administer the country's government. Much of this change is certainly due to Mrs. Conger. A noble woman is Mrs. Conger, and she has also an en lightened understanding. In some way perhaps it was ordained so the em press made the acquaintance of just the white woman who could influence her for good, a woman of whom it has been said, "Nobody could come under the influence of Mrs, Conger without being the' better for It." Mrs. Conger had no personal aims to gain, no social ambition to achieve and no social rival to get ahead; of. All that she considers so much rubbish, un worthy the thought of one who per ceives even dimly the splendid destiny unfolding before the human race. So with not a single personal aim to gain for either herself or her husband, with no creed to urge upon Tsi An, who would have taken alarm instantly in that case, the wise, gentle, high soul ed American woman obtained an influ ence over the iron old empress that is resulting In incalculable good.

It will do for mornings" "But you have more dresses than you can wear now for mornings" "Oh, well, I don't want to throw It away. I can do something with it yet." It was the same sort of answer with a bunch of old, faded ribbons and a corset cover with a hole in it and an old hat shape or two. Next year they were all there, with additions, and she was more weighted down and at a loss for room than ever. 1 I 1 1 I I I I I 1 1 I I I I 1 I 11 I M 1 1 I I 1 LUCIANNA SENDS UNIQUE VALENTINES. T UCIANNA was looking over the newspapers. Suddenly she laugh ed aloud. Then she took the scissors and began snipping from them various items and advertisements. The merry thought had struck her of send ing the clippings as valentines to cer tain individuals whom she declared she was going to get eyen with. The first one was her own venerable and estima ble grandmother. Lucianna's standing grudge at "gran" was the name "Lucy Ann," which was gran's own. Lucy Ann changed it to Lucianna when she became old enough to read novels, yet gran still called her Lucy Ann very distinctly before stran gers. Gran was "sot in her ways," es pecially in the matter of teetotalism. The dear old lady hated alcohol as it were the father of lies himself. Once she fancied she smelled something on Lucianna's best young man's breath, though the youth vowed it was only ginger beer he had been drinking. Nev ertheless gran's remarks were lively and forceful. "I'll fix her," said Lucianna. She took up a clipping bearing a large pic ture of an aged dame ugly and wea zened as an old witch. The clipping was an advertisement setting forth that the original of the picture was ninety-nine years old and could still see and hear well and that she attrib uted her remarkable longevity, good looks and the preservation of her men tal faculties solely to the habitual use for ninety-seven years of Fireater's pure Noah's ark whisky. As matter of fact, the portrait was of such nature that it was rather an awful warning -against drinking Noah's ark whisky and living to be ninety-nine years old. Lucianna laughed all the more on that account. She wrote in backhand upon the clipping, "From your loving valentine," clapped it into an envelope and addressed it to gran. Then there was Professor Psychoflz zycus, a large, lazy, long eared man who lived mostly on the astral plane and who considered that meat eating retarded for hundreds of incarnations the progress of the human soul through the eternities. Pork yea, even the choicest broiled ham was the double dyed abomination of Professor Psycho fizzycus. Lucianna sent him a clipping from a live stock journal giving instructions how to carve up properly and salt away the body of a slain pig. Aunt Sarah hated tobacco worse than poison. She said it stupefied men's brains, caused cancer, paralysis, dys pepsia, insomnia and insolvency. Aunt Sarah declared with emphasis that she would rather spend her time in a pe troleum refinery than dwell in the same house with a man who smoked. Luci anna sent her a disquisitional adver tisement on the good health, delight and sweet dreams to be drawn from the consumption of a genuine biena venturadamente claro cigar. Lastly, there was Great-uncle Ronce, a bachelor of eighty. He was a crank from Crankville, and his pet aversions were giggling girls and crying babies. Indeed, he disliked children as aged bachelors who have only themselves to think of sometimes do. Lucianna sent Great-uncle Ronce an advertisement of a rare and radiant unfermentable food for infants, accompanied with the offer ob tcial of a newfangled feeding bottle 1 Some people are like that. Rather than give away their old things and bestow a little pleasure they will hoard them like magpies, waiting for a myth ical some day which never comes. Meanwhile the clothes get moth eaten and dusty and all out of shape from hanging in the closet, and they are onty fit for the ash bavel. "For goodness sake, when you don't want to wear a thing give it away or sell it. Don't keep it against a possi ble chance," my mother used to say to me. And I have found it a wise counsel which has saved me a good deal of un necessary fussing. French "Cleanliness." Talk about French "pensions'." A friend of mine and her daughter were boarding at one, and the latter fell very ill. The doctor was sent for. It developed that every previous occupant of the room had been ill or complained of not feeling well. The doctor was an American and a practical man. He forced the landlady to give the rooms a thorough cleaning, and then it was dis covered there were no fewer than seven layers of carpet, each with its quota of dust and germs! Ajid the worst of it was the woman manifested surprise that they should object to her simple way of renovating her rooms every spring, for why go to the trouble of taking up the old carpet when it was completely hidden by the new By the way, before I close I want to Impress on your minds that dyed pon gee the coarser the weave the better is just the thing for summer street costumes, notably tailor mades. Cadet blue, old rose, red and gray are all smart shades. One particularly coarse weave is called silk burlap, and .this will be much worn trimmed with bands of plain or spotted taffeta. Modish Eolienne. The material above all others for dressy costumes is eolienne, which has reached a perfection of silkiness and luster combined with lightness of weight never before obtained. The price is from $1.25 to $2.25 a yard. It comes double width. Strange the odd points of view of some people, particularly of the artistic and literary fraternity. They never seem to look at life in the normal or dinary way, which reminds one a bit of that story about Walter Savage Lan dor. His cook had done something to of fend him, and in one of his customary bursts of rage he hurled the unfortu nate man straight out of the window into the garden below. Suddenly clapping his hands to his head, he exclaimed in a voice full of horror, "Heavens, the violets!" And in fact they were right under the window.

The bodice 1 also adorned in the same graceful fashion. If net is considered too per ishable black satin and narrow chan tilly lace would be a charming substl tute. I WOMAN AND HER VARIETY. Why should not woman be variablet Surely her charm lies in her unexpect edness, and the devoted lover will re- joice in this quality in his ladye fayre, which gives her the same fascination that a "bag of surprises" had for him ia boyish days. But among our critics devoted lovers are fewer than masculine acidulated drops, and perhaps, lest we should be come vain, it is well that it is so. A CURE FOR STAMMERING. A child who stammers sometimes uses extraordinary contortions of tha features and limbs and in his inability to say a word will sometimes kick, stamp his feet or roll his head. Some stammerers use most objectionable fa cial distortions. AH these should be promptly and firmly discouraged. A looking gkiss placed hastily before tha child who is grimacing in this way will sometimes cure.

The estate Journal Is a member of the Associated Press ind receives the full day telegraph report or that grea news or ganization for exclusive af.tera.oon pubu-.-ation In Toneka. The news Is received In the State Jour nal building over wires for this sole pur pose. The groundhog- probably -wishes by this time that he had returned to his winter quarters. The United States senate has fooled the house this time by leaving it to that body to slaughter the statehood bill. The position of pome legislators on the woman suffrage question appears to be that all women are married or pught to be. That "Bluebeard" Hoch never mar ried Mrs. Chadwlck probably is due to the fact that both were working the same side of the street. Russia probably feels much like the boy Who was yoked up with a run away calf and would like for some body to help her stop the war. Detroit. Mich., Is taking steps to Wftrd th establishment of a municipal pa vlna; brick plant and the private con cerns have cut the price $2.50. Russians are reported to be coming to this country at the rate of BOO per ay. They seem Intent upon placing the ocean between themselves and the Japanese. The stock corporation argument that government regulation means confis cation of private property is no more Impressive than It ever was, says the Pittsburg Disratch, and no more ac curate. A movement has developed In con gress looking to the repeal of the bank rupt law. The Washington Post sug gests that it may be due to the fact that the country is so prosperous, it is no longer needed. The California wine crop Is said to average only about two per cent of that of France, yet the French are ac cused of importing the American ar ticle, putting their own labels on it and shipping it back to the United States. It is a pleasure to note that there are but 2S days in the current month. If the sort of weather we have been re ceiving is to become the regular thing, a motion to have the month still fur ther shortened will be considered In order. If the opponents of woman suffrage will notice the reports from Colorado they will observe that the bulk of the fraudulent voting, ballot box stuffing. Intimidation of voters and other crook ed acts connected with November elec tion and the subsequent counting of the votes, was performed by men. The story put out by the Standard Oil peorle, that they are unable to borrow money to carry on their work In Kansas owing to the agitation here, can only be regarded as a bit of hu mor, in view of the fact that the heads of the concern own or control a large part of the circulating medium of the country. There is no more justice or reason for imposing a tax on dogs, than there Is for taxing cats; neither should they be exempt from the law which pro hibits owners of other animals from al lowing them to run at large. A dog should have no more right on the Ftreet than a cow has. The fact that the cow is taxed does not confer the freedom of the city upon her. It cannot "be charged that prosperity and political advancement causes Pres ident Roosevelt to forget his friends. If "Bat" Masterson has been appoint ed to the position of United States dep uty marshal in Xew York on his re commendation, as is reported there can be no reason for it other than friendship. Certainly It was not dic tated by political considerations. HOW DO TIIKY' STAXD? The coming city election is of more importance than may appear on the surface. It is well to call the atten tion of the people to the fact that the waterworks question is still unfinish ed. Its adjustment may be left to the new city council and the new mayor and it is Imperative that men are chosen who will carry out the will of the voters so decisively expressed on more than one occasion. The people want the water plant and they want It just as soon as it can be secured. A public official who erects barriers In the pathway of the people's will is not the kind of a man to be entrusted with office. The citizens of every ward should see to it that the candidates are placed squarely on record. It will be 'too late after they have been voted into office. This question should be asked of every candidate: "Will you do all In your power to secure the plant of the Topeka Water company for the man who will not answer that ques tion in the affirmative should be de feated. This Is no time to experiment. THE 1XEAV MACHINE. They used to say, before the last election, that the state politics of Kan sas were controlled by a "machine." If this was a true statement of conditions, it must be admitted that it was a very rickety and old-fashioned wheelbarrow in comparison with the new-fangled automobile which is now starring as the bandwagon of Kansas politics. As a matter of fact is it not true that a machine of some sort is neces sary to make things go Every sue cessful business enterprise is a "ma chine" and the proprietor of the enter prise is the engineer. He is the "boss' of the machine. If the boss knows his business, the machine Is powerful and works smoothly. The bearings are well oiled, the fuel is applied at proper in tervals, and the cogs mesh perfectly. In politics, the dynamic force is in variably a "machine." Without a ma chine there would be no politics; with out a "boss" there would be no ma chine. Kansas politics are now being run by a new machine, and like all new ma chinery, it is working smoothly and with irresistible power. With mathe matical precision, the machine is grind ing out state policies and "administra tion" bills; it Is taking the raw mater ial supplied by public sentiment and converting it Into the manufactured product of law; it has its agents out collecting the crude ideas of the peo ple, and its lobbyists employed to find a market for the finished goods in the legislature. The chief engineer of the machine is Stubbs, and the man who has a two years' lease on the plant is Hoch. The cogs of the machine are the men who push the administration pol icy through the legislature. Cy Leland gets the credit for having been the boss of the old machine. But his mechanism got to working poorly, and the people of Kansas decided that they wanted a new machine. They made the change, and they have a new machine. Perhaps when it has been in use a few years it will slip a cog now and then, as old machines are likely to do. Then there will be a demand for another change, and another new' ma chine. Kansas can throw out the old ma chine as often as it sees fit, but it will always put in a new machine to take its place. It is only a question of how often the state wants a new machine and a new boss. MR. STCBIiS' MISTAKE. Is the power of Mr. Stubbs, the new xss of Kansas politics, on the wane? Appearances indicate that it is. Mr. Stubbs started well, there is no denying that. He appeared to have his heart set on some genuine reforms and he began to carry them out with an energy and enterprise that was most commendable. The State Journal consequently had no hesitancy in approving the work of Mr. Stubbs and he was hailed as a new boss iu whose possession Kansas was most fortunate. But even great leaders can not afford to get far from the people. After all it is the voice of the people that is the all controlling force in a Republic and especially is it potent in an eniightened commonwealth like Kansas. Mr. Stub'os who is undoubtedly entirely honest has openly and almost viciously denounced the Standard Oil monopoly, the most grinding and tyrannical of ail the trusts. Accordingly when the people evolved a scheme to make themselves more or less independent of this monster they had a riglt to expect the support of Mr. Stubbs. They did not stop to ask whether his position was fortified with a plan to give the people relief or whether it included only words, words, words which at best can do the Stan dard no harm. If words could kill the Standard Oil company the monopoly would have been dad years ago. Mr. Stubbs has denounced the plan for the establishment of an oil refinery but has offered nothing in its place and in this respect he has been weighed in the balance and found wanting. If he is an uncompromising enemy of the Standard Oil monopoly what does he offer the people of Kansas to free them from the grasp of the monopoly. Mr. Stubbs is making his first great mistake in Kansas politics. He may be able to regain the prestige which he has lost but it is doubtful if he will. THE COUNTRY DEMANDS ACTION From the Grand Rapids Herald. Reports from Washington indicate a reluctance on the part of congress, and especially of the senate, to enact any law at this session giving the interstate commerce commission authority over rates. The house may do something, but it is doubtful as to the senate. It is contended that with only a month left of the session and a great amount of important business yet to be trans acted, there is not time enough to give the subject the consideration its im portance deserves. This may be an excuse for inaction, but it is not one that will appeal to public opinion. This question of governmental au thority over railroad rates has been be fore the congress and the country for years. It has been discussed and de bated from every point of view. The interstate commerce commission has repeatedly recommended it. Books have been written upon it; commercial bodies, organizations of manufacturers and individual shippers without num ber have investigated it and expressed their sentiments in resolutions and memorials. There is no question as to what is right or where the country sttnds in regard to the subject. The country demands action. It supports President Roosevelt in his desire for legislation without further delay. The subject is a great one and vastly important. It is worthy of the most mature consideration. But there is danger in carrying deliberation to an extreme. Postponement on the part of congress will be regarded by the peo ple, not as a move to give sound judg ment and wisdom a chance to mature, but as a play into the hands of those interests which object to any regula tive measure. Tf consrwis fails to act at this session President Roosevelt w juld be fully warranted in calling a special session, and the country would sustain him in it. The railroad interests that oppose the legislation which the country and the interests of the people demand, and which bears the stamp of justice and righteousness, might study the railroad history of Michigan and from it take warning. In Michigan the people for years demanded the repeal of the spe cial charters. For years the people demanded that railroads be placed on the same basis as other property for taxation purposes. The railroad in terests resisted every movement to the utmost. The sentiment at last grew overwhelming and with Gov. Pingree In the executive chair even a legislature subservient to the railroads did not dare to put off action longer. The old charters were repealed, the state con stitution was amended, doing away with specific taxation, and the railroads have been groaning under the burden placed upon them. The Michigan Cen tral's taxes have been more than dou bled and other railroads were made to pay in proportion. Had the railroads met the people half way; had they shown a disposition to be fair and a willingness to pay their just share, they would have saved themselves infinite trouble and their tax; burdens would have been easier to bear. They carried their opposition to an extreme and now they are suffering for it. The railroad interests may secure de lay in legislation on the rate question. But what the country asks for is right. There shoud be governmental control over rates. And instead of being allay ed by delay the public demands will grow stronger and stronger, and if the delay be too long the railroads will have radical action to contend with instead of action that is reasonable and conservative, such as is now offer ed. Nobody wants to cripple the rail roads or to put stumbling? blocks in the way of their prosperity or development, but in this day of mergers and consoli dations, when a' few men or groups of men control all the railroads of the country and can by a few strokes of a pen Influence the welfare of a whole section, governmental supervision is a necessity and it is becoming more so with. each, new merger. GOOD WOUli OF POMCE. The Topeka police force should be commended for Its brilliant catch, of the safe burglars this week. It was one of the best pieces of work which has been done by officers in this city for a number of years. While much of the credit falls di rectly upon Joseph Ross, one of the best detectives the city ever had, the remainder of the officers who aided, should not be forgotten. They did their share. Hut rather than fall back upon per sonal praise, the feature should be mentioned, namely, that not a mo ment was lost on the case. It was not five minutes after the explosion was heard by Officer Duncan, that he had telephoned to the station for aid, and the chief, with a detective and two officers, at once came to the scene of the robbery. The five lost no time in getting to work, and kept steadily at the task until they had captured the men who undoubtedly committed the crime. A police force is a much abused, and much maligned organization. The general run of people believe that they should get all law-breakera. That is impossible. A criminal is Just as shrewd in escaping as is an officer in trying to run him down. A police man's hours are long, practically without end. The majority of the members of the Topeka force are on duty twelve hours each day, the week around. There is no surcease for them, and about the only time they get a vacation is when they get sick. So when they do something that is reaily good, and make a brilliant cap ture, people ought to be willing to say so, and compliment the blue-coated guardians of the peace on their work and success. THE PATHS OF DUTY. Sometimes it appears as if the paths of duty are devious. This is not true however though duty may be at first sufficiently disguised to deceive the most wary. The city council this week was brought during the course of their discharge of office as public officials to decide upon the path of: duty. There was some difference among the mem-: bers as what constituted" that path. Whether upholding home Industry as against foreign, or the surety of a suc cessful completion of an important public piece of work was the question. With all justice and fairness to home Industry the facts appear to bear out the action of the council in granting the Melan bridge contract to a foreign company. The home company was awarded a number Of contracts suffi cient to maintain the plant busy for several months. It was also well known that they were inexperienced in the character of bridge work contemplated In the approach to the Melan bridge. They assumed that they could com plete the work successfully; the council were confronted with their word and assumption as against the experience and record of a company which had made a specialty of the character of work contemplated- As public officials of the city of Topeka the councilmen had obligated themselves to secure the best results from the construction of public work let by the city. From the facts the council chose the company about whom they had every evidence could take care of the contract in the best possible manner both as regards good results and expedition. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. From the New York Press. Flatter the vain, seek flattery from the modest. People can be much more sweet tempered after a fist-fight than an ar gument with their tongues. When a woman wears thick, warm stockings it is a sign she is not going to climb on a stepladder. A girl takes a lot of trouble to prove to people that it is no trouble at all for her to keep her complexion. A woman would like to be rich so that everybody in church would watch like a cat to see how big a contribu tion she put in the plate and then the would do it in an enwelrma. THE KINGS OP POESY. Read by Dr. H. Wi Roby, president of tne ivansas Authors club, at tne an nual dinner this week. Tonight I leave th aaneulnR field Where warring hosts have clashed and 1 eeieu I leave the state's high enterprise To statesmen, wise or otherwise; I leave the stoled and shaven priest To bless and serve his sacred feast. While with my meager gift of grace, I sing the singers of the race, Those mighty masters who have sung The living song3 of every tongue, And lifted up the souls of men To make them one with God again. Come, then, tonight and stand with me Beside the Paleocrystie sea And listen while the minstrels sing The Scandinavian runes that ring Through all the centuries, and hold The Sagas of the Vikings old. And those rude souls who bodied forth The great Heimskringlas ot the North. While those Wild harrl nf nnoient riavs Go drifting down the stormy ways. ineir names are lost amidst the vast And tumbling odeans of the past, Whose raging billows roar and run The pathway of the midnight sun. Come, now. to morning lands with me, Where Ilium once ruled the sea. Here thirty centuries have rolled Across her vault of planished gold Since Homer held her PJpic throne Supremely great, sublime and lone. While from his soul the tides of song Rolled down the ages swift and strong, Men heard the world-wide plaudits ring And laud Imagination's kinsr. Who hurled across the Epic stage a ne guuu ana neroes ot tne age. Come next where uncompanioned Rome, Beside the Tiber's yellow foam. Sits dreaming on her sacred hills Where Poesy with rapture thrills The listening World, and strains sublime Ring out across the seas of Time, With plenitude of grace to hold The hearts of men from growing old. Here Virgil sang those mellow strains That soothed the world and lulled its pains; Here Juvenal and Horace sang While frensied acclamations rang And throned above the throne of state This glorious triumvirate. Now let us journey toward the sun Where Life's primordial currents run, And where on thrones of light we see Iranian kings of minstrelsy. And hear them strike from harp and lute The songs that hold the nations mute; While houri-lips and love-bright eyes Flash back their dreams ot -l-uradise. Come, now, to those rare sunlit plains. Where sweet eternal summer reigns. Where slow above Himalayan crags The sun-god's gleaming chariot lags And all the glowing stars display Reluctance of their onward way. While sweet and tuneful pipes of Part Ring clear and high o'er Hindustan. And, far above that sunlit zone There, Kalidaasa sits alone And chants to rapt and captive throngs The Hindu's sacred song of songs, Geta Govindas that extol The transmigrations of the soul. Pause now a space where new Japan Reveals a bard in everv man; Whose Tamato Damashii Holds all that's good beneath the sky, And bids to Love's unending feast The Island Empire of the East, While souls below and stars above Dream one long dream, the dream of love. There on his throne, with shaft and bow, The only god that all men know Reigns gaily on from sun to sun And knows his task will not be done While Fujiyama's gleaming height Rellects a thousand suns at night. Now come once more and let us turn Where Albion's high torches burn. Where daring Milton, lone and blind, Calls forth the rainbows of the mind And sets its clouds to shine and glow With light no other soul may know. Look once again and you shall find The laureate of all mankind. Fierce Tragedy's unchallenged king With throne and crown and signet ring; While round about him to and fro His dream-born monarchs come and go. In love and hate, in strife and crime. Through histrionic scenes sublime. While his great soul compels the rage Of mimic madness on the stage. High on his shoulders sits the sun To woo the stars to shine as one. Vato T x i To all those other sons of light, The absent kings and queens of song To whom coequal crowns belong. That greater host than are the few J luuai; ntiLU .ii.uit-u IM're to you. HENRY W. ROBY. JAYHAWKER JOTS. In the last teachers' examination at Paola, 69 applicants were present. Mr. Lamb of Fredonia will have a fine number of his hoga at the Fre- aor.ia snow, Feb. 16. But after all will Chancellor Strone- have the power to raise that $800,000 for the K. U.'s addition. A Salina girl objects to her lover not buying her diamonds and furs but says he can be close any other way. A Troy man has a dog that he was offered $50 for and refused. Of course the owner has stock in the Standard Oil. The price of killing catslnes at Well ington has been put down from 50 to a 5 cents and of course the marshal is howling about it. Of course it was a representative from Sedgwick that introduced a bill in the legislature asking for $15,000 for a state brewery. The "Busy Bees" will hive at Paola this week. Seems like pretty stinging sort of weather for such proceedings. But the queen, bee hath so ordered. The Ottawa Herald has heard a robin and declares spring is here. With snow a half foot deep and still falling t must have heard a duck go ing north. The friends Of Mr. Cain will be pleased to know that he has raised no walking sticks for the past month at Burlingame. Simply conhned to bed with a cold. Channel cats went on the market at Atchison, undressed, at 6 cents a pound. Dressed they would have a greater demand, as the women of Atchison do most of the trading. Lawrence papers are having much fun poking squibs at the state refinery. But wait until the bill asking $800,000 for a Kansas university appropriation comes up and hear the pleading par agraphs from the editorial columns and from the speaker's chair in the nouse. GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. When it is said that a man is pa tient, the world believes it has found a hero. Ever notice that when a woman owns chickens, she always has it "in" for the roosters? A book is being passed around that teaches that polygamy is right, ine men had better keep it from their wives. When peonle who are not very well acquainted, begin to gossip, a boy on tnin ice Ooesn t teei nis way more carefully. Those women who look "as if a wind could blow them away, can usually sweep and dust ail around tneir heavier sisters. An Atchison girl whose name is June really looks like June. As a rule a girl whose name is June looks more like July or August. Out in the country places, it is be lieved that nn New York man ever pays his wife attention, and that if he did, other New York men wouia laugh at him. Samuel Carto takes the Weekly Globe at Westholme. B. C. He re cent v sent mnnev for two subscriDers, and a dollar and a half extra with. which to treat the force. That's the most appreciation we ever had. Johann Hoch, who is accused of having married thirty-seven women, was intervied yesterday, and said: "They tried to fool me. Whv hadn't I a ngnt to rool them?" If ever a certain Atchison woman's house gets on fire in the night, notice is served on her right now that a sight or mat green and yellow bath robe she wears will be the death of the firemen. QUAKER REFLECTIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. In poker dice you have to shake be fore taking the pot. Our plans that come to naught are not always naughty. Enough is as good as a feast, if you know when you have enough. Beware of effusiveness. The hand shaker may also be a leg-puller. I's all right to be easy-going. The trouble is to know when to stop. Perhaps conscience has a still, small voice because it is so overworked. No man who is lacking in imagina tion can write a good love letter. A wheelbarrow isn't as handsome as an automobile, but it is more useful. Some men would look for a needle in a haystack before mending their ways. Many a man is unsuccessful because he regards hustling as incompatible with dignity. A lawyer always charges a larger fee for divorcing a couple than the minis ter gets for marrying them. The fellow who has been making a night of it doesn't always realize that joy cometh in the morning. Nell "Miss Antique has at last re sorted to cosmetics." Belle "Yes; she seems to be making up for lost time." A fellow doesn't like to be told that his cake is all dough, and yet the man who is out for the dough may take the cake. Tommy "Pop, are all officeholders self-made men?" Tommy's Pop "No, my son; they are generally machine- made. The pessimist is hopeless quite; He feels that he is schooled Not to expect things will be right. For fear that he'll be fooled. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. Some men find it easier to get arunk than sober. Lucky are actors who fare well on their farewell tours. The older some women get the more girlish they try to act. Time changes all things with the exception of minstrel jokes. The woman who drives a man to drink has no need of a whip. After a woman says "there's no use talking" she keeps right on. A spinster says getting married is almost as serious as remaining single. A nero is a man who can listen to an after-dinner speech without looking Dorea. When a man is weighed by others he Is usually found wanting to dispute the figures. Men who think they know it all never take time to investigate the actual worth of their supposed knowl edge. A AVILD DEER Raised a Motherless Calf and Animal Jumps Like a Doe. A calf lost last spring by John Wy- man has been found back on Shrews bury Peak living with a herd of deer, and refuses to return to civilization and to orthodox bovine habits. The animal, a Holstein, was missed one morning in May when it was about a month old. and three weeks later was reported by a fisherman, who said he had seen it with a herd of deer near the western base of the mountai The calf's mother had been sold three days before it disappeared, and Mr. Wyman was of the opinion that the little creature, which was bullied by the cows in the barnyard, sought companionship among some does that came down to the meadows to feed. Several days ago the farmer went up the mountain to mark out a wood lot near the forested cone. He had finished his work and was eating his lunch when his attention was at tracted by a movement in the under growth. He remained quiet, and in a few moments a big buck passed within thirty yards of him, crossed a clearing and ambled leisurely down the moun tain. A short tme later a doe followed and then another doe. Eventually six female deer passed, and then a well developed young Holstein cow, its coat sleek and its horns long and sharp, came into view. It saw the man and stood stock still. The re port of the fisherman flashed over Wyman s mind, and he started cau tiously toward the cow. He had branded his calf on the left side, and he finally got around where he could see her flank. There, sure enough, was his herder's mark. The animal seemed quite tame and the farmer got up almost close enough to put his hand on her before she bounded off into the woods. Mr. Vv y man was anxious to regain his cow and next day took his hired man and a rope and returned up the mountain. He picked up the trail where he had seen the animal and a few hours later came up with the herd close to the peak. The buck stamped and ran but the heifer and three of the does remained. A box of grain was placed in the snow and a noose was stretched across the top. Then the men, with one end of the rope in their hands, retired to a distance and waited. First the does approached and nibbled the grain. Then the cow came forward and did likewise. When she got her head well down in the box the noose was pulled taut and the end of the rope wound around a tree. Instantly the heifer began to kick and bolt, but she couldn't free herself, and after the does had been chased off the men RAW ITCHING ECZEf.IA E!stcbss 00 Mis, Ears, inJ tettis For T.res Years.

THE TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 11, 1905- 13 Critics have for years discussed the wonderful analytical powers of the mind of Dr. Conan Doyle. If these faculties are considered so remarkable In a man what should be said when they are found in a woman, for the de tective stories of Anna Katherine Greene are quite as interesting- and fascinating as those of Dr. Doyle. There may be an absence of the delicate finish that marks the conclusions of the Eng lish stories but the theme is just aa well handled and just as delicately con ceived as the most thrilling- adventures of the celebrated Sherlock Holmes. Therefore it is almost unnecessary to say that her latest book -The Million aire Baby" is fascinating. It will hold the attention of the reader from the first page to the last and the person who is determined to read but one or two chapters at a time would better not commence for it is such a book that will cause a person to forget all his other duties in the absorption of the skillfully constructed plot. As one might infer from the title, the story is built around a lost child. The Bix year old daughter of Mrs. Ocum jiaush disappears from a summer house during an afternoon function and while the nurse is only a few feet away. One of her shoes is found not far away on the way to the river but the fact that men axe at work directly in the path to the stream at once convinces the reader that the searcher must look to Eome other avenue for the lost child. The detective who interviews Miss Graham, the nurse, finds that the little girl, Gwendolyn, had been stopped on the road some time before by an old man who had frightened the child by his strange words and apparent threats and naturally the search for this man Is the central purpose ajid it is discov ered that he had, a day or two after the disappearance of the little girl, been seen carrying a child into his house. The clue is followed and the detective finds that the man in question. Dr. Pool, had a child in the house but that so far from being the little girl sought. Is a boy. It is also ascertained that the boy -was taken from a movers' wagon by Dr. Pool and that the wagon was seen near the home of Mr. Carew. adjoining the Ocumpaush estate, at about the time Gwendolyn disappeared. From this time the interest is in the work of the detective near the scene of the child's disappearance. His exam ination of the bungalow or summer house in the dead of night assisted by Mrs. Carew, the discovery of a subter ranean passage under it and evidence that a woman had been there a short time before will keep the excitement of the reader keyed to the highest pitch. It might be hinted how the story ter minates and the mystery is cleared up but that would be telling. The book must be read to be appreciated and any synopsis, no matter how complete, would fall far short of Its purpose. The disposition of Dr. Pool and the boy in his charge is too sudden. One would think that they are simply in the way of the author so she obligingly has them fall down stairs and get kill ed Just at a time when the reader won ders how the mystery can be cleared with Dr. Pool and his protege stili on the scene of action. The conclusion is left In rather an unsatisfactory and unfinished state but pince this is a detective story it may be well to leave something to the imag ination of the reader. Many will remember "The Million aire Baby" as a serial in a well known periodical but it Is such a story as can be appreciated best In book form for It must be read as a w hole.

Nearly everybody knows that ebar coal is the safest and most efficient dis infectant and purifier in nature, but few realize its vaiue when taken Into the human system for the same cleans ing purpose. Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take of it the better; It is r.ot a drug at all. but simply absorbs the gases and impurities always present in the stomach and intestines and carries them out of the system. Charcoal sweetens the breath after smdkin?. drinking or after eating onions and other odorous vegetables. Charcoal effectually clears and im proves the complexion, it whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic. It absorbs the injurious gases which couecc in me stomach and bowels: it disinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh. All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probabiv the best charcoal and the most for the money is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges- thev are composed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics in tablet form or rather in the form of large, pleasant tasting lozenges, the charcoal being mixed with honey.

A Buffalo physician In speaking of the benefits of charcoal, says- I ad vise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas in stomach and bowels, and to clear the complet ion and purify the breath, moutli and throat: I also believe the iiver is great ly benefited by the daily use of them they cost but twenty-five cents a box at drug stores, and although in some sense a patent preparation, yet I be lieve I get more and better charcoal In Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges than in my of the ordinary charcoal tablets."

Of course they are very clever and original and no doubt the other girls at their boarding schools were greatly awed and some what shocked by their intellectual and ethical boldness and independence, but Ave have had so many of these youthful petticoated iconoclasts since Gladstone gave Marie BashkirstefE's journal that regrettable boost! Reaily, does it mark one a hopeless Philistine to ad mit that one is rather wearied by the egotism of these young persons, who are rushing into print with a fresh lit erary sensation in the way of a verbose and callow "confession" every new moon "The Thoughts of a Foci" has for a frontispiece a photogravure of a very sweet, pretty and kissable little girl, with big, round baby eyes and bobbed hair. She can't be more than eight years eld. Why and wherefore? Is it just for ornament? If so, well and good and there is at least one thing" in the book which may be unreservedly commended. But horrible thought! is it possible that this can be Evelyn Gladys, the author of the book? Of course it seem3 preposterous, but when you consider that most of our recent fiction and philosophy has been done by young misses scarcely past the pig-tail period it seems more and more probable that the next move of the enterprising publishers will be to pro auce the wisdom that comes out of the mouths of babes and sucklings Having stood so much from the irre pressible Young Person, perhaps we will be able to endure the precocious ness of the Angel Child. But if the frontispiece of this book is really a photograph of the author it must be admitted that Evelyn Gladys is "going some," in testimony whereof the following excerpts from her saucy raps at existing beliefs, conditions, prejudices, institutions and things are offered: "To be respectable it is necessary to choose to-be right while we live, no matter how wrong our actions may be after we are dead. The chil dren in our schools today are taught to revere the names of the rebels of the past and to crucify the rebels of today. The life of Washington was one of disobedience and treason to his king. Yet George Washington is our great national hero. His triumph consisted in disobedience to the law, and he became the father of his country, much revered by school chil dren on February 22, when that date does not fall on a Sunday, and on juiy 4, when it does not rain. "Another example is that of Jesus. whom we hold up as an ideal, yet whose principles and practices would be regarded as scandalous if intro duced into public and private life to day. Born without a claim of legal paternity, his cradle was a manger; allowed to grow up in the streets and run around the country like a tramp, leaving home again and again, caus ing his mother no end of worry and anxiety. He discussed an archism and socialism with a fluent tongue, and confused the elders wherever he went. He stirred up dis content and subsequent disorder. He laughed at the laws and customs of the land. The priests and rulers, hor rified by his attitude, saw clearly that his doctrines were subversive not onlv of the status quo but of all right and justice. He was warned time and again but kept right on with his treasonable teachings. The common people heard him gladly, toouga it may be said to tie credit of the upper classes that few of them attended his seditious gatherings. The better elements of society saved the country, and they nailed Jesus to the cross between two thieves. And we persist In holding up as an ideal before the young-and impressionable of our day a man who In his time was a criminal, ignominiously put to death by the priests and the respectable ele- ment of his age. Did w-e hold up Pilate and Caiaphas as models, we would be acting consistently, as they were representatives of the best so ciety of the times, just as the same pattern is in our own day." "Thoughts of a Fool," by Evelyn Gladys. Published by E. P. Rosen thal Co., Chicago and London. Price, $1.50. BOOK NOTES. Various Items Abont Books That Are Attractlns Attention. The Century company's February irsues will be "The Smoke Eaters," by Harvey J. O'Higgins, and "The Fugi tive Blacksmith," a first book, by Charles D. Stewart. "The Smoke Eaters," It is said, might well be sub titled "the epic of the New York fire department." "The Fugitive Black smith" is announced as an unusual and very jolly kind of tale, in which the incidents are based largely upon experiences of the author. Containing- the first authentic re ports of the spring and summer styles, the March Delineator is of special in terest to the woman of fashion, and a most attractive number throughout. A discussion of "The Use and Abuse of Armorial Bearings," by William Armstrong Crozler, is a noteworthy contribution, containing a fund of in formation in regard to coat armor that is little known or widely disre garded. X. Hudson Moore s article on "Old Pewter." the first in a series on kindred subjects, will appeal partic ularly to collectors, and the story of Charlotte Elliott's famous hymn, "Just as I Am," as related by Allan Suther- the Harpers. land, is of greatest interest. There are the usual departments and other mat ter of Interest to women within and without .the home. Dr. Lyman Abbott's recent sermon at Harvard university, which has provok ed widespread discussion, is soon to be published in booklet form by Messrs. Thomas X. Crowell Co. It is enti tled "God in His World." Newspaper critics and theologians have been great ly divided in their opinions over the published accounts, some calling Dr. Abbott an atheist, others a pantheist, while still others warmly commend the utterance. A large demand has arisen for the publication of this notable ad dress in permanent form, and a wide sale for it is therefore predicted. Harper's Bazar says: "The exclama tion point, in conversation or in life, betrays emotional lack of balance and waste of energy. Poise reserves Itself for the right occasion, and emphasizes important things without the need of exclamation. In other words, it saves its owner from unnecessary words or acts, and prepares her for necessary ones. Unless one have an aim m lite poise is never really attained. It is not mere repose. It is the collecting and balancing of one s forces. A well known modern doctor asserts that woman with a perfect bodily carriage is 'always noted for exceptional power, either mental. or physical, but generally both.' If this Is true of bodily poise, what power must come from the right poise and aim of the whole nature!" A book which promises to be one of the most absorbing of the year is the "Memoirs of a Great Detective Inci dents in the Life of John Wilson Mur ray," edited by "Victor Speer and pub lished in the United States by the Ba ker Taylor company. John Wilson Murray was chief of the Ontario de tective service, and one of the cleverest and best known detectives of this con tinent, and perhaps of the world. His methods and his success have never been equalled, outside of fiction, and indeed the stories which appear in the records reveal such remarkable clever ness and tenacity as to make them at times almost incredible. Mr. Murray was known as "Old-Never-Let-Go-Mur-ray." During 30 years he solved hun dreds of murder mysteries, forgeries, robberies, and uncovered some of the most notable counterfeiting gangs of the world, tracking criminals over two continents and fighting desperate bat tles when defeat meant death. These memoirs comprise a series of detective tales which are literally true and yet reveal stratagems as clever as those of Doyle and Gaboriau. There is further, a dramatic interest inthevolume which equalB anything in fiction. Apropos of the new and definite edi tion of Swinburne's poems, which the Harpers have just published, a friend of the great living poet writes this an ecdote: "He told me once how he had longed to fight for England in the Crimea. It was in the days of his boy hood, when, for his passionate love of cliffs and desolate shores, he was called the Sea-gull. The tale of Balaklava was firing England when he left Eton and hastened to his mother with an eager entreaty that he might draw the sword for his country and lead Eng lishmen into the smoke of battle. To all his entreaties, however. Lady Jane Swinburne turned a deaf ear, and the schoolboy to whom the army was then the only profession worth a rush went out from her with a bursting heart. But it suddenly occurred to him: "After all, how do I know that I am worthy to lead a forlorn hope?" In front of him rose the Culver Cluff, sheer and awful, probably yet unsealed by man. The boy thought to himself 'If I can climb that I am fit to be a soldier' and he climbed it .with the gulls screaming in his face. But he did not i go to the Crimea, and the world may be grateful for nis mother's ruling. He lives today in complete peace, and with an entirely boyish delight, optimistic concerning England's destiny, and sat isfied with his life's work." Among the interesting chapters in Mr. Albert Bigelow Paine's biogTaphy of the late Thomas Nast, the cartoon ist, may be mentioned those on the civil war and reconstruction periods, the great battle against the Tweed ring, the fierce Greeley campaign, the cry of "Caesarism" against Grant, the First Battle for Gold, the Tribune's Cipher Disclosures, the Garfield Conklin Feud, and the great Mug wump Revolt of 1884. Nast's life itself was a remarkable romance, and his connection with these unusual epi sodes was intimate and important often dramatic in the extreme. The author also tells the story of Nast's invention of various symbols the Re publican elephant, the Democratic donkey, the Tammany tiger, for in stance. Nast gave the material for this biography into Mr. Paine's hands. A large American audience now awaits the novels that E. Phillips Oppenheim writes. The success of this clever English author was not. however, instantaneous. Several of his books were published in both Eng land and America before he wrote "A Prince of Sinners" the story that firmly established his reputation here. This justly popular novel was followed by "The Yellow Crayon," "Anna, the Adventuress," and "The Betrayal." Now Little, Brown Co. have pub lished one of his most ingenious sto ries, entitled Mysterious Mr. Sabin," dealing with the possibilities of a war between England and Germany, in which the elements of love, intrigue and adventure are dexterously blend ed. Mr. Oppenheim is 36 years of age. He was born and educated in Eng land; was married, in 1892, to Miss Elsie Hopkins, of Boston, and at pres ent is residing at Ervington, in Leices tershire. He is a member of the Sav age and the Authors' clubs, and his favorite sport is golf. Mr. Oppenheim visited America again last year, and among other things made arrange ments whereby Little, Brown Co. will hereafter act as his American publishers. BOWSER'S BURGLAR. lie Protects the House and Creates a Midnight Scene. Mr. Bowser had finished hia dinner and read and smoked for half an hour when he went to his overcoat on the hall tree and fished a revolver from one of the pockets. "What on earth are you doing with that thing?" asked Mrs. Bowser, as he returned to the sitting room and dis played the weapon. "I propose to protect this house with it." "But how does It happen that the house needs protection all at once?" "Mrs. Bowser, we have kept house for fifteen years. During that time we have not ben visited by a burglar. It is not our fault, howrever. We have left doors unlocked and windows up, and have fairly invited the profession to come in and plunder the place and cut our throats. I shiver when I think of what idiots we have been. We have been more than idiots we have held out temptation to our fellow-men. I am going- to cut it off right here and now." "I have never been afraid of burg lars," she observed,, as she shrank, a little from the "gun." "It is not what you hae or have not been afraid of. Logic teaches us that sooner or later a burgar must come. It may be tonight, or it may not be for another year, but I propose to be ready for him when he does come. It will muss up the house some, and there will have to be a coroner's inquest and the police and reporters, but I shall kill him stone dead. I shall do It to deter others of his kind from coming after him. That is, if I can come upon him in such a way as to compel him to sit down while I talk to him and point out the fact that he 13 going wrong and must promise reform, I will let him off. Otherwise he is a dead man." "But you must be careful not to shoot yourself." "Do you take me for a ten-year-old kid?" "No, but when a man is suddenly m THE STRAY GOAT MET HIM FACE TO FACE. .oi,or,oH frnm b. sound sleep and rets hold of a pstol he may tremble so that that "Who's gong to tremble!

There will be no trembling and no going off acci dentally." "And I don't think there will be any burglar." "What vou think or don't think would fill "a mighty big book, Mrs. Bowser, and will not guide my con duct in the least. I am simply taking the precautions that any man of com mon sense would take. If there is a tragedy you won't know anything about it until it's all over." "How do you mean?" she asked. "Why, I shall hear a suspicious noise. I shall quietly slip out of bed and downstairs. The burglar will have made his entrance by the base ment window, and he will be packing up the family silver." "But it s only plated ware. You bought It at auction for solid silver, but you found out that it was only silver plate on metal. I have heard that burslars never "Bv thunder, woman, but what are you driving at!" demanded Mr. Bow ser, as he rose up and bes-an dancing around. "Is it necessary that you twit me about that infernal old silver? Am I the only man in this world who has been lied to and deceived? Is our family plate the only bogus plate in all this world?" I simply meant that it wouldn't pay the burglar to luer it off." "And what you meant has nothing to do with the facts in the case. I say me Durgiar will be packing- up the silverware." "Well, then?' "He will have his back turned to me, and before he is aware of my presence I shall have the drop on him." "You mean you will drop the pis tol?" "I mean that you haven't got the sense of our old cat! I am ready to put a bullet Into him before he can wink twice. I command him to throw up his hands. If he does his life is saved; If he refuses he is a dead man. The report of the gun and the fall of his dead body will be the first you will know about it, and when the police and reporters come I don't want you to do too much talking. Just leave that to me." Mrs. Bowser was silent for the next five minutes, and then she said: "I wish you would promise me not to kill a burglar. He may be some man who is committing his first of fense, and if forgiven this one time perhaps he would reform and become an alderman. Give him a chance be fore you shoot, won't you?" "I said I would, and I will, but he don't want to try any monkey shines on me. Whose Infernal old goat is that that I saw in the front yard as I came in?" "I don't know. I guess he's lost. He has been hanging around all the afternoon. If we had any milk left I would carry him out a dish." Mr. Bowser put his weapon away, and nothing further was said about burglars. An hour later the pair were off to bed, and the only extra precau tion he took over the other nights was to place the revolver within reach of his hand. Sleep came, and in Jais dreams he was reforming and shooting burglars by the dozen, when Mrs Bowser awoke him and softly whis pered in his ear. And Fished a Revolver from One His Pockets. "Don't get excited. The bells have just struck midnignt. 1 hear a queer noise downstairs, and I shouldn't wonder if your burglar had come." "What kind of a noise?" asked Mr. Bowser, as he sat up in bed. "It sounds as if some one was at the front door. I am sure you locked it, but burglars carry false keys, you know. Be careful when you go down." "But but I don't know that I'm going down. It's probably only the wind. I don't propose to catch my death of cold prome nading around the house for nothing." "There it is again!" she whispered. "Some one is surely at the front or base ment door! Spare him if he does not re sist." Mr. Bowser picked up the pistol and wniu-eri nut tn t he stairs and looked over the banisters down into the darkness, and after a. minute he returned to tne Dea with His teeth chiitterine- and said: "It's so dark I couldn't see a burglar down there if there was a gang or a dozen in the house. I thinK I 11 yell lor tne po lice nut nf the window." "And have all the neighbors say you are a coward. Mr. Bowser, you must go down. You must do some shooting. Our first burglar must not be allowed to es cape." "I'll I'll go down, but It's only the w-wind. Don't you want to come, too, and see me shoot him? That is. I'll hold him up while you talk to him. You can talk better than I can.'' "Mr. Bowser, do you mean to tell me that vou are afraid to go down stairs without me at your heels!" she demanded. "Not by a long shot, and you know it! he blustered, as the muzzle of the pistol wobbled about. "What I mean is that it is better to have two along when you kill a burglar. One can shoot him and the other take down his dying words." He led the way by the light of a match, and Mrs. Bowser followed. All was still until they reached the foot of the stairs. Then there was a rubbing against the front door, and Mr. Bowser wouid surely have fired the pistol if he hadn't forgotten to cock it. He was pulling at the trigger with all his might when Mrs. Bowser ad vanced to the g-ose ai.d looked through into the open vestibule. After one glance she began to laugh and Mr. Bowser ad vanced to her sice. Nest moment he dropped the firearm and threw open the door. The stray goat met Mm tace to face. The creature was cold and lone some and wanted comi&ny. "Xow. by. the living jingo!" shouted Mr. Bowser, as brave as a lion all at once and dropping h'.s pistol on 1ie floor. Then he stepned forth in undress and caught that old gcit bv the horns and twisted his nose around to the back of his neck. Then he r listd him up and swung him around and called him names, and as the poor goat bleated his fears he was given a fling that sent him against the yard fence and made the snow fly ten feet "Did he promise to reform?" asked Mrs. Bowser, as Mrs. Bowser came back in and slammed the ooor. "Woman, I understand this, and tomor row tomorrow "We'll tell our lawvers all about it, and vou shad have your divorce. Now thit the burglar is dead, let us go back to bed." (Copyright, 1905, by T.

And a liberal church has no right to be, there is no sort of use in establishing it, unless in the very "hardpan" of its foundation there is the determination of those who found It that it shall "level up" the place in which it is and bring it nearer to that standard of the kingdom of God.

There never was a time in the history of mankind when the tide of in tellect rolled so high, when the channels and agents of commerce, manufacture, trade and industry were so occupied and emploved. There never was a time when the mind of the young was so eager and anxious and alert. There never was a time when the instruments for the dis semination of truth were so many and could be so cheaply employed. There never was a time when printing was so cheap and the distribution of literature could be carried forward with so little ex pense. And there never. was a time when the moral natures of men needed to be ap pealed to as they need to be appealed to now. There never was a time when men reeded religion less and morals more. Rev.
