Women and Children Are De parting: From the City. Hospitals Are Being Moved Back for Japanese Coming. MOVE ON VLADIVOSTOK liuroki Is Believed to Be Ad vancing on Siberian Fort. Linevitch May Be Led Into Fighting Another Battle. Gunslm Fa?s, Manchuria, March 24. The women and children are reported to be leaving Harbin and the business houses are closing. The stationary hospitals are being moved back and the entire railroad east and south of Thitz har is being prepared for the next stage of the war. The conviction exists that General Kuroki is now moving: toward the northeast for the investment of Vladivostok changing his base for that purpose to Gensata. While the Manchurian railway is em ployed to supply the main army in its advance on Harbin the Japanese seems partial to the plan of keeping close to their sea bases and instead of following the Russians some of the military ex perts are of the opinion that the Jap anese may relieve the pressure upon General Linevitch and thus induce him to concentrate in the region between Santou Pu and Tie Pass for another battle. But throughout the campaign all the prognostications of experts re garding the plans of the Japanese have failed, the aspirations of the Japanese consistently fattening upon the vic tories achieved. The rank and file of the Russian army ehow peculiar adaptability to conform with the new conditions and accommo date themselves to the wishes and in tentions of the commander-in-chief and the government. Peace finds Mucli Supjort. St. Petersburg. March 24. The ra pers are supporting the campaign for peace and are beginning to print quite openly the history of the Intrigues in the far east for the promotion of pri vate interests, devoting special atten tion to M. Rezobrazoff's connection with the Yalu timber concession. The publication includes a secret memo randum of General Kuropatkin point ing out that war would be inevitable if Russian interests were extended into Korea. The necessity for increased taxa tion to meet the expenses of the war Is recognized and the minister of finance has submitted projects to the council of the empire including taxes On beef, matches, etc., and a grad uated tux on the salaries of govern ment officials beginning with one per cent on salaries of over $300. which altogether will realize about HI. 000, 000. There is also a proposition for a general income tax which undoubtedly would prove the most popular form of rairine: money as it would bear heaviest on those able to pay. Hound for Vladivostok. Port Said, March 2 4. Admiral Ne bogatorf's division of the Russian sec ond Pacific squadron, consisting of a battleship. four cruisers and four transports, arrived here today. The vessels are not coaling and are only taking moderate supplies on board. The transports are heavily laden with stores. The division, which is said to be bound for Jibutil. French Somali land, and Vladivostok, will probably proceed todry. Nearing Port Said. Port Paid. March 24.

Koretyo Taka hashi. special Japanese financial com missioner, informed the Associated Press today that the J 1 50.000,000 would suffice for Japan's requirements for a year or a ye:ir and a half, at the ex piration of which time. In his opinion, the war would be over. Three New York banks are concerned Kuhn, Loeb Co.. the National City bank and the National Bank of Commerce. M.

Interior Minister Bouligan today received a delegation from the municipality of Moscow, who urged that deletrates of the municipality should be admitted to the representative conference an nounced in the imperial rescript of March 3, that free discussions affect ing the work of the conference be per mitted in the press and that the de liberations of the conference be held In public. The Interview lasted an hour. M. Bouligan will receive a deputa tion from the Moscow vemstvo tomor row. May Not Stop at Harbin. St. Petersburg. March 24. 4:52 P. M. J, I'om me rront continues to Indicate preparations for a withdrawal of the main portion of the Russian army beyond Harbin so as to place it out of danger of having its communi cations with Russia severed if it is found impracticable to attempt to hold the line at the Sungari river. Tsitsihar 800 miles west of Harbin, is mentioned by several correspondents in a fashion to sujrgest that it will be the now point of concentration although others speak of the Amur river. A light flying column of Jananese cavalry is reported to be moving hastilv across the country toward Tsitri while a heavier column is going northeast in the direction of Vladivostok. One cor respondent intimates that the Japanese may adopt the tactics of relieving the 5vret Pressure on Genera! Linevitch in the hope of inducing htm to concentrate as far as possible below Harbin which would give Field Marshal Otama the advantage of preparing his next blow Without greatly lengthening his line of communications. Linevitch's decision to be prepared to place his main army tteyond tb reach of a decisive stroke while waiting reinforcements may have been taken in order to avoid just such a trap.

JULES VERNTdEAD. Noted French Author Expires at Age of Seventy-seven. Amiens, France, March 24. Jules Verne died at 3:10 p. m. His family was at his bedside. Jules Verne, the most popular of re cent French writers, wfth the one ex ception of Victor Hugo, was born at Nantes. February 8, 1S2S, and otlginally Intended to follow the law, but when still a young man the success of some plays and operatic pieces he had written drew him into the field of literature. k-.'.:'' jU. V Jules Verne, Wlio Died Today. His best known works, "Michael Strogoff." "Twenty Thousand -Leagues Under the Sea," "Around the World in Eighty Days" and "Mysterious Island," have been more widely read in this country than the writings of many well-known American authors. Verne has been more successful than any oth er writer in the realm of romantic science. His books are all Instructive as well as interesting. They very sel dom touch on matters of the heart, and unlike those of many French authors, giTje little or no attention to scandals. Verne prided himself on the fact that any of his books could be safely placed in the hands of the young. Few writers have Keen more prolific than Verne. He is said to have made a contract 40 years ago which bound j him to write two books yearly for the publisher Hetzel. for which he received $4,000 a year. No matter how unjust this agreement was to the novelist, he held to it, never realizing a cent in roy alties from the enormous sales of his books. Verne's old age has in a way been unhappy, for his country has not ap preciated him. He was not a member of the French academy, though more widely known and admired than three fourths of the members of that body. He has several times been suggested for membership but has always been refused. For some time he has been nearly blind, but up to the past few months worked regularly. Even in the pnst year he has written two books, which have been lately published. Many of the greatest modern inven tions have been forecasted by Verne in his novels. Among these may be men tioned the automobile, the dirigible bal loon and the submarine boat. CASTRO REFUSES. President of Venezuela Declines to Arbitrate With TJ. S. Washington, March 24. Minister Bowen cables the state department to day from Caracas that President Cas tro had flatly refused to arbitrate the pending issues between Venezuela and the United States. The administration will take no ac tion in regard to the reply which President Castro of Venezuela made to Minister Bowen. The matter was fully discussed at the cabinet meeting today and it was determined to allow the matter to await developments. The situation is considered as such as to not necessarily interfere with the departure of the president on his southwestern trip. The cabinet today discussed the situation in Santo Domingo and it was the general opinion that nothing there warrants any change in the present method of procedure. The agent of the United States government will make an investigation for the purpose of obtaining the information asked for by the senate. M. HEREFIIUS GOES. Swedish Preacher Will Probably Be Succeeded by Rev. D. J. Nordling. Rev. A. M. Herenius of the Swedish Lutheran church has resigned to be effective May 1. On next Sunday the pulpit will be filled by Mr. D. J. Nordling. who comes upon invitation of the church council and will prob ably be called to this charge.

Charged With Fleecing Bachelor Out of $16,000. LIVING AT ANTLERS. Was About to Meet Texas Man When Apprehended. I'laced in Colorado Springs Jail to Await Nebraska Officer. HER STRANGE CAREER. Carried on Many Intrigues the Same Time. Nearly Always Pretended to Be Single. Colorado Springs, March 24. Mrs. Edith I. Smedley, said to be wanted in Lincoln, Neb., for embezzlement, was arrested at the Antlers hotel here at 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon by the city police department. The request for her arrest came from Denver, where a Lin coln officer is said to be waiting to take the prisoner back to Nebraska. She is an aristocratic appearing woman and is accompanied by a little girl, 5 years old. Lincoln, Neb., March 24. Mrs. Edith L. Smedley formerly lived in Lincoln and her arrest, it was stated last night by officers here, is at the instance of Joseph Wells, a wealthy bachelor, whose home is in this city, but who is now at Denver. Burr Marlay, attorneys for Mr. Wells, said their client had ad vanced to Mrs. Smedley at different times an aggregate of $16,000. Mrs. Smedley, they said, represented to Wells that she was a single woman and se cured the money under the promise that she would become the wife of Wells. Scott Smedley, her husband, Is in Den ver. Will Be in Lincoln Tonight. Scott Smedley and wife, accused of "buncoing" Joseph Wells, a wealthy bachelor farmer, living in Lincoln, out of ?16,000, the woman being the principal and Smedley the accomplice, will reach Lincoln late this afternoon in charge of an officer from Colorado, where the pair were taken into cus tody yesterday. The charge is that of obtaining money under false pre tenses. Wells came from Ulysses, Butler county, Neb., about a year ago. He is still the possessor of several tracts of rich farming lands and is one of the wealthiest land owners in Butler county. 1 Mrs. Smedley's conquest' of Weels seems to have been easy of accomplish ment. She is a blonde of unusual strik ing appearance. She gowned herself stylishly and were jewels which served to bear out her story to Wells that she was rich in her own name. The Smed leys lived in one of Wells' houses, the latter making his home with the cou ple. Mrs. Smedley convinced Wells that she was unhappily mated and that she would marry him after she had se cured her divorce. She secured the $16,000 in sums vary ing from $100 to $6,000, assuring Wells that she needed money to clear up some obligations standing against her own property. When she moved to Denver six months ago she was followed by Smedley who went into business in the Colorado capital, presumably on Wells' money, she assured Wells that she in tended to prosecute her suit for a di vorce. Two weeks ago Mrs. Smedley returned to Lincoln, her husband ac companying her, but keeping out of Wells' sight. Mrs. Edith Simmons-Willits. To former acquaintances who saw him Smedley told that he returned to remove his household goods to his new home in Denver. Meanwhile Mrs. Smedley sounded Wells upon the subject of more money. She to'd him that she had secured her divorce and would soon be in a position to marry him. Wells believed her and dis posed of another piece of property, giving her ?6.000. After giving her the money he be came suspicious and followed her to Denver, where he discovered that he had been tricked. Mrs. Smedley was a -widow prior to her marriage to Smedley. She came to Lincoln a year ago from Topeka, Kas., bearing the name of Mrs. Edith Simmons. She met Smedley at a local hotel, and their marriage fol lowed after a short courtship. The woman has a child by her first mar riage. Another chapter is added to the re markable career of Miss Edith Sim mons, or Mrs. Emery Willits of Perry, Kan., today in the above dispatches, for It is to her that they refer. No dime novel ever contained a more romantic or thrilling story than that of Mrs. Emery Willits, or what ever she may be called, for she has had a half dozen names. From a plain country girl at the village of Perry she blossomed out into an adept in the art of love-making, a past master in affairs of the heart. She duped men because they could be duped and apparently for the pleasure which the conquests brought to her. So far as is known the present case is the first in which her adventures have brought returns in cash. Mrs. Willits' career is remarkable almost beyond belief. She ahs a long record of captured hearts. Her first escapade took place in Kansas. At that time Grantville was her home. She was married at that place to Emory Willits, a well to do farmer. Her maiden name had been Miss Edith Simmons and her home before becoming a wife had been at Perry. Kansas. Went Away to School. She lived at Grantville for several years with her husband, and became the mother of a baby girl. After the child was about three years of age, she rep resented to her husband that she wish ed to go to school at Bethany college at Lindsborg to study music. Her hus band assented and she went away. The first inkling of any wrong actions on her part came to light when it was reported from Junction City that J. W. Bundy, the Union Pacific station agent at Ellis, Kan., had attempted suicide there because of unrequited love for Miss Edith Simmons, who had prom ised to marry him. He took poison but was rescued by doctors. Letters were found in .his clothes from Miss Sim mons. He said -that he had formerly lived at Perry, Kan., and had at the time of the death of the girl's mother promised to look after her. She had promised to marry him, but left him suddenly one day. He found that she had gone to Abilene. He could not find her and attempted suicide in his des pondency. While Bundy waa busy paying the woman's expenses at Lindsborg she was gathering other flies into her net. The next heart in the line of attack was that of a young student at Salina. His name was J. H. James, and he was the son of a wealthy mine owner at San Marcial, N. M. In the quest of adven ture he had left home years before and neglected his education. When 28 years of age he thought that a college course would be the right thing so he matricu lated at Wesleyan university in Salina. It was there that Mrs. Willits met him and captured his heart. She had him bound arm and foot and they" became engaged. He had money and spent it on her lavishly. He suspected her a lit tle, but she allayed his doubts by tell ing him that though she was the wife of another man she had awright to give herself away in marriage again because a former wife was claiming her husband. She said that she had an elegant home in Topeka. and that upon the settlement of her father's estate she would be left wealthy. But one day James heard that his in tended had passed through Salina with a Mr. Elliott. He investigated. A few days later he heard that she had mar ried Elliott at Manhattan, and the press dispatches of the occurrences quote him as "thanking his lucky stars that he had not married her." Marriage to Elliott. That naturally brought her romance with Elliott into public notice. Elliott was a traveling man with a Milwaukee house. He had met Mrs. Willits some where on his route, and it was but a little while until she had him captured. She told him that she was a single wo man and that her hcsme was in Topeka, where har father. Major William Sims, was a wealthy banker. She engaged herself to him. So completely did he believe her and throw caution to the winds that he resigned his position, sent back his traveling bags and sample cases, and married her. After the cere mony, just as they were getting on the train, a newspaper reporter tried to get an interview. Elliott refused to talk when the reporter said: "Do 'you know that your wife has a husband living at Grantville?" That opened his eyes. He Investigated. In two days they parted. Mrs. Willits. undismayed went back home and lived with her husband at Perry, Kan. He took her again to his hearth, and for quite a while she lived with him and their little girl. But her old spirit broke loose again and she be came acquainted with a man by the name of Scott Smedley and married him. Then she went back home again to Perry for a brief stay. Finally she, Mr. Willits, Mr. Smedley and the little girl all left Perry and went to Lincoln, Neb., to live. That was the last heard of them according to a telephone mes sage received from Perry this morning. None of them have been back since. A Colorado Case. But she has been busy since leaving the state. She must have gone on wrecking hearts right along. Pre vious to her present escapade with Wells, she must have had a "case" with .an attorney by the name of nooKer rrom lexas. xins bjjccich patch from Colorado Springs tells the story: Colorado Springs, March 24. E. W. Hooker, the youthful- attorney of Cen ter, Texas, who arrived here yetserday afternoon to meet Mrs. Edith L. Smedley, the woman arrested here on a charge of embezzlement near Lin coln, Neb., this morning admitted to a representative of the Associated Press that he had expected to marry Mrs. Smedley at some time and re fused to deny that he had come here at this time with the intention of marrying her in this city, if she as sured him that everything was clear to that end. He said that to meet her was the object of his trip and that he expected to leave this city with her. "Every man thinks himself to be a judge of human nature," he said. "At least I do, and I am frank to say that my candid judgment is that Mrs. Smedley is being made the victim of a very great injustice." When asked whether he would go farther in her behalf he said: "I do not understand the situation yet, bvit I think I will bo back to Texas." Left Perry a Year Ago. Perry, Kan., March 24. Mrs. Edith Willitts returned to her home at Grant ville soon after her marriage to Mr. Elliott, the traveling man. Hrr hus band, Emory Willitts, began a Piiit for divorce but ft was afterward dismissed. It was recognized that her marriage t Elliott was not valid because she had a husband living. Nothing was heard of Elliott after the marriage. Mr. and Mrs. Willitts left Grantville about a year ago with their little daughter. Ac companying them was a man named Smedley who was not known here.

Prosecutors Adopt a Form of Examination to Follow. DIFFERENCE IN PRICE. Testimony Secured Concerning What Packers Charge Retailers Quotations of Beef on the Hoof a Parallel. Chicago, March 24. Specific in formation regarding shipping, market ing and prices of cattle was sought to day by the special grand jury which is investigating the alleged combina tion of packers. Michael Murphy, general manager of the Cudahy Pack ing company at South Omaha, Sioux City and Kansas Cty, was before the inquisitors and shed some light upon the subjects under consideration. 4 tf ,lh -fj V, "14, .o:?-xf!i v.pk i'lil'J Thomas Currier, W ho Guards Beef Trust Jury. "They asked me about the packing business in general," Mr. Murphy said. "Then they took up the subject of n.arketing and asked all the details of 't. They inquired into the shipping of jvttlle and beef. Their questions did not point to an investigation relative to railroads. Then they went into the subject ot prices. Asked whether the questions were sucn as would indicate a desire for gen eral information whether for use in possible indictments, Mr. Murphy said that general information was not evi dently what the inquisitors were after. Henry F. Wilkins, manager of the beef department of the Cudahy Packing company at Omaha, was questioned on the subject of handling but he declin ed to discuss his testimony. United States District Attorney Irv ing Baxter, of Omaha, arrived in Chi cago today and will assist. He was one of the agents in preparing testimony and many of the western witnesses were summoned by him, Chicago, March 24. Twelve out of town witnesses, supposed to be men employed by various packing firms and retail meat dealers, have thus far tes tified before the special grand jury which is hearing evidence against the so-called beef trust. Although the censorship against any publicity of what transpires in the jury room is as strict as on the first day of the investigation. It was learend that during almost all of the session District Attorney Morrision sought evidence concerning the price retail dealers in meats were forced to pay the packers and the price some of the packing concerns have been paying the cattle raisers for beef on the hoof. The three most important witnesses before the jury along this line were R. C. Howe, general manager for Ar mour Co., at Omaha, and T. W. Kelly. retail meat dealer at Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and Robert Hall in the same business at Kansas City. The last session of the hearing proved more satisfactory to the gov ernment officials because a form of examining the witnesses was adopted and the work was accordingly carried on more rapidly. Other witnesses said to have been heard were Francis Meaghen of Kansas City and a man named Crumley. Seven of the men who have testified have received their pay and have left Chicago. Swamped with names of would-be witnesses for the inquiry, District At torney Morrison announced that twenty-five or fifty witnesses will give evidence sufficient for indictment. The investigation will close with their testimony. Since it began the names of witnesses have been rolling into the prosecutor's office by the score but subpoenas are not being issued for these persons. It is possible, in case indictments are voted. that they may be returned against individuals not mentioned in the injunction of Judge Grosscup- in 1902. In that action of the federal court the following firms and individuals were enjoined: Corporations Swift Co., Cudahy Packing company, Hammond Packing company.

Important evidence is said to have been adduced in the so-called beef trust investiga tion now In progress here in conjunc tion with that before the federal grand jury in Chicago. Six witnesses were examined at one sitting, five of whom were, it is understood, former employes of the packing companies. "It would be unlawful and highly improper for me to disclose any of the details of the Investigation," said Joel M. Marx, who is associated with District. Attorney Burnett in the in vestigation. It is probable the hear ing will be continued for at least an other week. RELY ON SENTIMENT. Students WiU Not Take Agricultural College Case Into Court. Manhattan, Kan., March 24. The students at the college feel that, as far as immediate action is concerned, their case is lost. The report of the commit tee In mass meeting stated that the three suspended students refused to carry the matter to law. When ques tioned as to their reasons for giving up the fight the boys stated that they felt too young and inexperienced to start such drastic measures and that they felt certain public sentiment would soon set the matter aright. The students generally are jubilant over the fact that papers have given their side of the case. They reiterate the statement that they are law-abiding students and condemn the attitude of President Nichols and other members of the faculty in attempting to rule them by examples and threats. The faculty have played for time throughout the present trouble and the students have willingly acceded with the feeling that their request would cer tainly be granted. The whole matter was put into the hands of a committee of six to keep the matter before the faculty. The expression of opinion gensrally was that each student should keep the matter prominently before the public by corresponding with the edi tors of their county papers. The impression is general that now that the faculty has won out in this instance they will at the first opportun ity hand out the final death warrant to college and class enthusiasm in the in stitution. The rumor has been circulat ing that seven prominent juniors, among them two girls, are slated for suspension as soon as things have quieted down. The only grounds evident at present for such an action are the things said and done in student meetings that have been reported to President Nichols. WICHITA BALKS. Stock Yards Company Won't Accept New Law. The Wichita Union Stock Yards company contends that the stock yards law that was passed by the leg islature of 19 03 is confiscatory in its prices and it refuses to abide by them. A case involving the law has just been appealed to the supreme court from Sedgwick county. J. M. Ratcliff, a stock shipper of Pratt county, states that he shipped 6,125 head of hogs and 1,100 head of cattle to the Wichita stock yards be tween April 5 and September 30, 1903, just after the new stock yards law went into effect. The law provided that stock yards should not charge more than six cents each for handling hogs and fifteen cents for cattle, but the Wichita company charged Ratcliff the prices that had always been in force, eignt cents for hogs and twenty five cents for cattle. Ratcliffe brought suit to recover the overcharge. All of the allegations of Ratcliff are admitted by the stock yards company, but it claims that it has over $250,000 invested in its yards, and that it is a great expense to run them, wherefore the prices fixed by the law or 180; are confiscatory and hence unconsti tutional. The company filed an answer in the suit setting forth these allegations, to which Ratcliff demurred. The dis trict court ruled against Ratcliff on the demurrer, and he took an appeal on that ruling to the supreme court. FOUND FROZEN. Woman and Son Overtaken by a Colo rado Blizzard. Denver.

Objects to Establishment of Xew Institution at Topeka. ASK MINISTERS TO AID. Appeals to Conference to Oppose Chrisman Gift. News of the South Kansas Meet ing at Iola. Iola, Kan., March 24. Dr. Murlin, president of Baker university, who is attending the Methodist conference here, is endeavoring to have the confer ence take a stand in the interests of Baker university. He wants the south Kansas confer ence to ratify the action of the Kansas conference held at Junction City last week in regard to Chrisman will mat ter. Mrs. Chrisman, of Topeka, died and left $200,000 for education. It was to be used for the establishment of a Methodist university in Topeka within ten years, and Dr. A. S. Embree, of Topeka, was put in charge of the es tate. If the university was not started, in ten years the money was to go to Kansas conferences, which meant Baker university. About five years Is gone, Mr. Embree is drawing a salary of $2, 500 a year. A year ago President Mur lin got through the conferences a reso lution to submit the whole matter to the board of bishops which met last fall in Connecticut. Whatever they de cided was to be final. Governor Stan ley went there, and President Murlin and M. Nausbaum of Ottawa, and Dr. Embree representing the Chrisman es tate. Dr. Embree wouldn't agree to a final decision on the part of the bishops, so the bishops only took up the matter informally and nothing waa done of a definite character. Last week at Junction City the Kan sas conference reafHrrned its loyalty to Baker university, and passed a resolu tion against the establishment of any other college in this territory. The con ference also appointed a board of trus tees to look into the accounts of Dr. Embree. Governor Hoch was made a member of this board. This is the first time any conference has made a move to investigate the estate. Dr. Murlin, it is understood, wants this conference to pass the same resolutions. He will ap pear before the committee on educa tion to urse it. The chairman of the committee on education is Dr. S. S. Murphy of Iola. Incidentally, Dr. Murlin wants every member of the Methodist church in this conference assessed 25 cents to help support Baker university. This is the same as last year, and he will doubtless get it. Dr. McBirney, of Pittsburg, who was superannuated at this conference, ad dressed the conference after 34 years' in the ministry. 30 years in the south Kansas conference. He said that after this 30 years' ex perience he had great faith in God and new inspiration of the scriptures, and that this was the word of God. He said that he had great faith in the Method ist church and the south Kansas con ference. He made touching remarks in regard to his experience and associa tions witb the ministers and member ship through all these years. He said that If he had his life to live over, he would choose the ministry for his life work, would choose the Methodist church to work in, and the south Kan sas conference for his field of labor. He said he had to quit because of his health; that it was a great crisis in his life when he had to lay down his cho sen work, but that he felt Just as clear a call to go out of the ministry now as he had felt in his younger days to go into it. The bishop took occasion, following Dr. McBirney, to state that they had reached what, he regarded as the most important period of the conference, ,hon n man who had been long years in the service had to quit his life work. He greatly sympathized with Dr. Mc Birney, he said, and asked that God's blessing rest upon him and his family. Some more ministers are being men tioned for the place made vacant by the retirement of Dr. Durborraw,. C. E. Creager. a strong minister of Osawato mie has been mentioned. S. L. Chase, the 'former secretary of the conference. Is also talked of. Mr. Chase is at pres ent a pastor at Columbus. H. J. Coker. who has been at Chanute for the last year is also spoken of as a possible successor to Dr. Durborraw. Dr. Coker was formerly presiding elder of the Em poria district. LYONS HANGED. He Killed His Attorney Who Failed to Win His Case. New Orleans, March 24. Lewis Lyons was hanged today for the mur der of former District Attorney J. Ward Gurley in 1903. The crime for which Lyons was hanged was the assassination of Dis trict Attorney J. Ward Gurley on July 20, 1903. Mr. Gurley, who was a mem ber of a prominent family, had been United States attorney under President Cleveland and had distinguished him self in the successful prosecution of bank wrecking cases. Lyons was the son of a former leading clothing mer chant, but through dissipation was much reduced in circumstances. One night a sugar broker reported th s los3 of a valuable diamond pin. Hi had been in Lyon's company. Lyons was suspected, arrested and acquitted. The arrest preyed on his mind, ho-r-ever, and he brought damage suits against the detectives and the broker. Gurley and Mellen were employed as his counsel. The case waa first handled by Mellen and on Lyons com plaint Gurley himself took it up. Lyons was unsuccessful and conceived thp idea that his lawvers were respon sible for his 'defeat. He made many threats against them and finally locked himself up in a room with Mr. Gurlev and killed him. Lyons shot himself through the head, but recov ered. His defense was insanity.

KANSAS CITY-CHAXUTE TTIII Be 125 Milts Long Through N'eoxiesha Field. ,To IeHyer Trodnct to a New Oil Refinery. Chanute, Kan., March 24. The Na tional Supply company of Kansas has Becured a contract to furnish about 125 miles of five-inch pipe to the company of New York capitalists represented in Kansas City and Kansas by J. B. Levy. The 125 miles of pipe is to be used by the Levjs and their company in the construction of a pipe line from Cha nute to Kansas City, Mo., through which the heavy oil of the district for rnerly known as the North Neodesha aistrict will be delivered to a market. The closing of this contract practic ally assures the pipe line which Mr. Levy has been agitating in the Chanute fie'd for a few days.- It is considered here to be trie greatest good fortune that ever attended this oil district. It means a, resumption of oil field work in the Chanute field, and means that an adequate outlet for the large produc tion of oil will be provided. The oil producers whose oil did not grade high enough to be satisfactory to the prairie company will not be put out of commis sion, or left dependent upon small inde pendent refineries which have been no more than proposed. The placing of the contract is the action that has been de sired by local oil men for some time from any source as it shows that the work of getting a line through' is actual ly begun. It has been known by the supply and oil pipe house for sortie time that there would be "ontracts soon to be secured from independent pipe line companies for lines in Kansas.. There were sev eral bids for the contract that was let yesterday to the National company. The contract for pipe provides for an arly delivery, and it is tllttught that the pipe will be on the ground within a month. The pipe will be shipped from the mills at Pittsburg. Pa. It is esti mated by supply men that the cost of the pipe is over $100,000. v Nothing is known or can be learned about the right-of-way the New Tork company will use. It is supposed that Chanute will be the southern terminal cf the main five-inch line, and that lat erals will extend from this point. Some where in the vicinity of Chanute the pumping station will be located. In it pelf this plant will amount to a great deal. The capacity of the line will be Something like 10,000 barrels of oil per day. A refinery will be erected at Kansas City. It will be built within a few months. The refinery will be used to refine the kerosene and gasoline and the remaining oil will be used as gas oil. It is said that a great deal of storage will be necessruy af Kansas City, and that the New York company expects to store large amounts of the oil. It is generally believed that it will be matter of three or four months before this line could be ready to receive oil and the refinery ready for action.

I am calling a meeting of the producers in Kansas City. I de sire to state positively that I am not attempting to enter into a struggle with the Prairie company.

FORTY CASKS OF SMALLPOX. Plague Has Taken Possession of En tire Neighborhood of Earlton. Chanute, Kan., March 24. The prevalence of smallpox in a rural dis trict four miles southwest of Earlton has become so widespread and gen eral that it will be made the subject of investigation by the state board of health. The secretary of the state board arrived in Chanute yesterday afternoon and proceeded to the plague district. He was accompanied by Dr. U. G. Hoshaw, county health officer for this end of the county. The state secretary was called here as the result of an investigation made yesterday by Dr. Hoshaw. The latter had received a number of messages from persons living in the neighbor hood of Earlton, asking him to come down and inspect a number of cases of eruptive disease which had de veloped there, and which seemed high ly contagious. These communications by mail were followed by an insistent telephone message, which was received yesterday morning, summoning him to come down at once by all means. The doctor made the trip and upon seeing one of the patients diagnosed the disease a.9 smaHpox and ordered it placed under quarantine. There are about forty cases in all. The disease was introduced into the community by a lad who came down from Kansas City and went to work on a farm in the Earlton neighbor hood. He was never very ill, and dur ing the time that he was broken out kept about his duties and ordinary pursuits much the same as usual. He went to a party in the neighborhood, where the disease was communicated to a number of other young people, who in turn communicated it to the members of their families. Some of the children carried It to school, and in this way it became spread over the entire district. Xone of the cases are very serious and no fatalities have occurred. There is no question, however, but that it is smallpox. Dr. Hoshaw states, ana every effort will be maae to stamp it out before the death of one or more victims terrifies the community in which the plague has Intrenched itself. The fact that the disease has been present in a mild form hereto fore is one of the reasons that it is so generally spread throughout the neighborhood. NEW ELECTRIC ROAD.

BROKE tP HOBO PORT ARTHUR. One Tramp Mad Just Finished Shav ing When Officers Appeared. Pittsburg. Kas., March 24. Offi cers Minard and Lawler made a raid upon the hobo's retreat, located along the Frisco tracks near the water tank, last evening and gathered In seven of them, but four got away. They had biilt up a pen out of railroad ties, covered over with the same, and had built a fire in the center, and pieces of old scrap iron stood up against the sides as a sort of protection against the chilly winds that have been blow ing for the past few days. Handouts were sticking in the cracks all around the pen, and gave evidence that they had been diligently working the back doors since they "reached the town. One ot those taken in by the officers had just finished shaving and had not yet put up his razor and strop. They were locked up for the night and drilled out of town. MAKE BRICK AT HCTCH1NSOJJ-. Sand Hill Shale to Be Vsed In Manu facturing Paving Material. Hutchinson, Kas., March 24. The next thing for Hutchinson is a big plant for making vitrified brick. The recent tests made by Mr. Burtch of the sand hill shale have demon strated that this material will make the finest brick in the west. There are inexhaustible supplies of this ma terial in the sand hills, and it is easy of access. A spur from the Rock Island will put the cars at the shale banks. A plant in the eastern part of Hutchinson will put the plant easy of railway access for material and to ship out finished product. The decision to use vitrified brick in paving the nine blocks in Main street makes an opportunity to make the brick here. Local capitalists have signified a willingness to invest in a brick plant. The shale tests have been completed and a company will likely be organized. HUNTERS SHOT INTO CAR. Two Passengers Mortally Wounded Guilty Men Arrested hy Slieriff. Leavenworth, Kan., March 24. Last night at 10:45 o'clock two duck hunters, Issie Powers and John Maret, of Kansas City, Mo., fired shot guns into an electric car on the Leavenworth-Kansas City line at Pope crossing, mortally wounding John TJlman, Sixteenth battery. Fort Leaven worth, and H. P. Raycroft, Kansas City, Kan. Sheriff Meyers and a posse left here on a special electric car and arrest ed the two men an hour after the deed was committed on the border of Leavenworth-Wyandotte county line. The men were intoxicated and became so unruly that the conductor was forced to put them from the car. As soon as they alighted they began pouring shot into the crowded car and wounded the two passengers. The motorman, with the two wounded men, made a quick run to Kansas City, Kan., and there notified the Kansas City, Kan., officers. Powers and Maret are in the Leavenworth county jail.

Worry Goes To The Stomach Tears down the little Telegraph Lines that Operate and control the Digestive Processes. How To Repair These Tele graph Lines. I fill gladly girt any Stomach Sufferer a Full Dollar' Worth of my Remedy Frea to Try. I ask no deposit no reference no secur ity. There is nothing to risk nothing to pay, cither now or later. Any stomach sufferer who doea not know my remedy may have a full dollar's worth free, if he merely writes and asks. I willinglv make this liberal offer be cause Dr. Shoop'a Restorative is not an ordinary stomach remedy. It does not, in deed, treat the stomach itself. It goes be yondit treats the nerves that control and operate the stomach. The nerves that wear out and break down, and CAUSE Btomach trouble. For stomach trouble is really only a svmptom that there is seri ous nerve trouble inside. That Is why or dinary remedies-fail. That is why my remedy aucceeds. That is why I can af ford to make this offer. Yet do not misunderstand me when I Bay "nerves." I do not mean the nerves you ordinarily think about. I mean the automatic stomach nerves over which your mind has no control. I have not the space here to explain to you how the nerves control the stomach, or how they may be vitalized and restored. When you write I will fend you a book which will make these points clear. But this much is certain ailing nerves cause all forms of stomach trouble indigestion. belching, heartburn, insomnia, nervousness, dyspep sia. No stomach medicine will cure these ailments. Only nerve treatment will do that. No other remedy than Ir. Snoop a Restorative even claims to reach these nerves.' What alls the stomach nerves? Worry, probably. Mental anguish destroys their tiny fibers and tears down the telegraph lines without which the stomach has no more self control than a sponge. Over work will do it. Irregular habits will do. It. Overeating will do it. Dissipation will do it. But the effect is the same stomach failure. No matter how these nerves became im paired I know a way to rebuild their strength to restore their vigor. It is a remedy which took thirty years of my life to perftct a remedy which is now Known in more than 50,000 communities in more than a million homes as Dr. Shoop's Restorative. If you have -atomach trouble and have never tried my remedy, merely write and ask. I will send you an order on your druggist which he will accept as gladly as he would accept a dollar.

Dr. Shoop's Restorative SPORTOEIEWS. Want to See Another Baseball War. Big League Players Would Wel come the .Sore. MEAN HIGH SALARIES. Efforts Being Made to Reorgan ize Protective Association. Other News of Interest in the World of Sport. New Orleans, March 24. The presence in the south of Howard Griffiths, o Jersey City, chairman of the national board of the minor leagues, together with "Tin" O'Neill, who accompanied Griffiths to California and finally per suaded the Pacific Coast leagues to agree to Join 1 nthe revolt of Class A clubs against Ban Johnson and the American league, In case it was decid ed to go to that extreme, has aroused great interest among the big league ball players who are now training In this part of the country. Already efforts are being made to reorganize the defunct Players' Protective association, with the avowed intention of taking advan tage of any favorable opportunities that may arise in case war Is declared by the Class A organizations. The players are working quietly and secretly on their new scheme and refuse to acknowledge that any lan Is on foot looking; to re organize. But it Is known that there are many players in a very fractious and dis gruntled state of mind over the general cut In salaries by both the American and National league clubs and would welcome the chance to get even. With peace existing there was little use in making any kick, but with a possible war in sight, concerted action by the players, which could be taken with the players organized into a unit, their de mands might be listened to. The play ers keen posted on all baseball politics that is going on, and there are many intelligent ones among them who look far enough ahead to realize that an other war would be placing things right into their hands. The Pacific Coast leagues, as far dis tant and obscure as they are, as outlaw organizations caused the big leagues a world of trouble, and of so much dan gerous Importance did the major bodies consider the buccaneers that they sent President Johnson, James A. Hart and Edward Hanlon out to the coast to pull them back into line. This committee was successful in get ting the coast leagues to join the na tional agreement, and it is a peculiar fact that Hanlon, a member of that committee, is now one of the revolu tionists. The players, therefore, appre ciate that if two small far western leagues are able to cause so much trou ble organizations of as much strength and importance as the Eastern, West ern and Pacific Coast leagues, together witn the American Association, would, if they .revolted, cause a conflict that would shake organized ball to its foun dation. There were many -consultations between the players of the New York and Chicago clubs here and also be tween members of the Giants and Tan kees in Birmingham. The Boston Americans and Cincinnati Reds will be able to consult over the reorganization in Jacksonville, and the Yankees will meet the Clevelands in Atlanta next week. Certain players are not backward at all in letting it be known that they fa vor another war. War times salaries are much larger than when peace reigns and to play one rival organization against another is a successful way to boost their stipends. WIRELKSS POOL ROOM. By Which Sports Will Get an Oppor tttnity to Play Faces Unmolested. New York, March 24. The floating pool room which is to defy all laws except that of gravitation, was the whole talk in sporting circles. It is certain that a mysterious syndicate has chartered the steamboat Mt. Desert, equipped it with wireless, and has engaged a captain and crew to take it daily out beyond the three mile limit, there to receive for the benefit of some 500 betting passengers the racing returns from Benning, New Orleans and all the big tracks. And District Attorney Jerome, with all his axes, dare not smash a single porthole of the boat while it is be yond this limit, although betting will be going on there as in tno 01a days. All this, of course, Is what the syn dicate says. It remains to be seen if any way this apparent immunity rrom state and federal laws can be circum vented. So confident are the pro iectors of the scheme that the Mt. Desert will be safe from unpleasant interference that they have issued in vitations to the police and district at torney to place a few bets aboard the vessel on her first trip next Thursday, when she will leave the Battery for deep waters to receive the first returns from Benning. Not even the regular excursion trip price of $1 will be charged to Police Commissioner Mc Adoo or District Attorney Jerome if they wish to accompany the large bevy of jubilant bookmakers, many of whom both gentlemen have been seek ing assiduously for a long time. The Mt. Desert will not even be clad in steel armor, like some of the land lubber pool rooms, and it has not even been thought necesary to arm her with a brace of rapid fire Gattling guns to repel pirates of the sleuth type. Everything will be done in the open quite in the open, out there with Father Neptune and his mermaids. The floating Monte Carlo has been the dream of the bookmakers ever since Mr. Jerome began his devasta tions. Now has their dream come true to all appearances. Well to do men are said to be backing the pro ject. All her saloon state rooms have been removed and the saloon is ex pensively refurnished. Tables, charts and other racing paraphernalia have been provided. The De Forest com pany today completed the equipment of the wireless, wnicn win oe testen tomorrow. Messages can be received 200 miles from shore, it is said. There will be also the necessary bar and restaurant. Rumors of faro, rourette tables .and other gambling de vices are current, but there will be a future development if the pool room scheme is a success. If the wireless works all right tomorrow the Mt. Desert will make her first trip on Thursday, leaving the Battery at 12:30 o'clock, and when "There're off at Benning!" is telegraphed among land lubbers ashore their jack-tar breth ren, off Highland Light, will learn the joyful news but a few seconds later. The wireless messages will probably be sent from the station at the top cf 42 Broadway. As to Just A Universal Remedy for Pains In the Back.'

Harvard Oarsmen Taught New Form by Australian Coach. Cambridge, Mass., March 24. "Harvard's Australian rowing coach, Wray, is teaching an entirely new stroke to the Crimson oarsmen, who are rowing, on the Charles river these days in barges," said a local alumnus. The stroke is entirely different from the one introduced by Fred Col- son of Cornell last year, in that It is a 'get-there' stroke, instead of the Col son affair, which had a long, slow re covery. The Harvard men have been made to hurry back on their strides as fast as possible. From the moment the oars strike the water they are pulled through it with all the power that the men can produce with their arms, backs and legs. It Is practically the same as that employed by the Syra cuse crew which won the big race at Poughkeepsie last summer.". JESSE NELSON'S VENISON. His Slany Friends Treated to a Bite of Meat From Sweden. When Jesse Nelson returned from Swe den a few days ago he was loaded down with curiosities from the old country, says the Fort Scott Republican. During the past few days when one of the boys about town would step into Manlove's store on East Wall street, Mr. Manlove would re mark that he had a piece of the best ven ison ever in Fort Scott. "Where did you get it?" was the usual question. "Jesse Nelson brought it from Sweden." Of course all were anxious to taste 11. It tastes like dried beef, or it tastes like dried venison, or dried bear meat, or any other kind of dried meat. After the guest had passed comment upon the meat he was told that it was not venison at all, but just horse meat. And so it was. Jesse brought a big chunk of it across the pond for his friends, and Manlove's store is as good a place as there is in town to dis tribute it. The most comical part of the joke was to see the expression that passed over the faces of those who were unable to say that they never ate horse meat. Bitirr GIVES HIS SIDE. Coast Pugilist Denies the "Lay Down" Charge of Nelson's Manager. San Francisco, March 24. Emphat ic denial is made by Jimmy Britt and his brother Willie to the charge made bv Billy Nolan, manager of Battling Nelson, that Willie Britt refused to post forfeits for the Britt-Nelson fight unless Nelson would agree to "lay down." So intense is the feeling on the part of the coast pugilist that an other match with the Chicagoan now seems inevitable. This is the statement which Nolan says Willie Britt made:? "Nelson will have to agree to quit or else there will be no fight as far as the Britts are concerned." "It is a contemptible, malicious lie, a piece of spitework," is the answer of Jimmy Britt. "iNOian s ngnter is a punching bag. I can lick him at any time." "This is the blackest of lies. Nolan should not be listened to," says Wrillie Britt. Nolan does not mince terms in making his assertions. He calls a ,.M (Remember its the can with the Has all the true, delicate flavor you remember so well. T. PauL SYBUP BEFININO CO.. ST. PAUL. MIWW.

Following this, Nolan descanted on Nelson's ability to make Britt look like a "two-spot" if they get In the ring again and defies James Edward to come on and take a chance on an even break with a referee who" will allow the Dane to fight according to the rules.

A peculiar s.ort of a suit on a bond has teen arpesled from the district court of Ellis county to the supreme court on a bond, too, that was taken by the supreme court Itself. Back In September, 1901, William Ward Pipes, a Graham county boy. went down to Klli3, got Into a fight In a joint, and shot the jointist, David Leahy. He was arrested and convict ed of murder in the second desrree and sentenced to twenty years in the peni tentiary. The case was appealed to the supreme court and Pipes was re leased on a bond for $7,500. which had attached to It the signatures of thirty or more persons, qualifying- in luma of from J100 to J1.5O0. The bond was approved by Chief Justice Johnston, and Pipes was released. Afterwards the supreme court affirmed the Judgment of the lower court, whereupon Pipes suddenly left the country and has not been heard of Since. Puit was brought against the bonds men, and some nf them, at least, ap peared to be astounded by it. They claimed they had never signed the bond. According to the defense, they claimed that A. B. Pipes, the boy's father, came to them with blank sheets of foolscap and told them the boy would have to give bond but it was not yet known how much; that he was getting up a list of those who would be willing to go on the bond under certain conditions, and the amount they would qualify for. He represented that D. J. Hanna, Alvin Law, and a number of other wealthy and Influential Graham county men would be on the bond. Under these representations the majority of the Donasmen say they put thexr names to the blank piece of paper, with the understanding that they were to be called together to qualify when the time came to really give the bond. They say that this was all they ever did, and they did not know that their names were on any bond. It was alleged that the bond was made up by pasting together a number of pieces of paper, and that the bond was written out and pasted on the top of the list which A. B. Pipes had secured. Xotwithstanding this the district court held twentv-four of the bonds men liable for the bond. One man proved his signature was n forgery, and another man proved that he was drunk when he signed the bond and didn't know what he was doing. Both of these were let off and three or four others escaped on one plea'or another. Those who were held liable for the Dona now appeal to the court. supreme cthficide sot a fake.

The citizens of Clay Center held a. mass convention in the court room Thurs day evening. There was a large turn out of electors. Kd L. Bell was chair man and Frank Hemphill secretary. Geo. W. Hanna was nominated for mayor by unanimous vote; W. G. Meals, councilman from the First ward; Kd Hartwell. councilman from the Third ward, and Steve Tripp, member of the boHrd of education from the Third ward. The nominees afterward addressed the convention and affirmed they; allegiance to the following platform, or resolutions: Whereas. The most Important ques tion at this time before the people of the city of Clay Center is that of lighting; nnd Whereas, The present franchise for lighting the city by electricity is soon to expire, be it Resolved, That it is the sense of this convention that the terms of a re newal of any public franchise held in this city, or the terms of any pro posed new franchise, should be sub mitted to a vote of the people before action is taken by the mayor and city council, and that the mayor and city councll should be guided by a ma jority vote cast on the question. This may be done in any way that will enable all the legal voters of the city to express themselves, whether at a regular election or informally, as a primary party vote is taken. Be it further Resolved, That the candidates be fore this convention for mayor and councilmen be requested to pledge themselves not to vote for any public franchise before the same has been submitted to a vote of the people and ample time given for a consideration of the matter. Be it further Resolved, That for the best Inter ests of the city of Clay Center no nominations be made on the city ticket excepting mayor and council men in the First and Third wards and member of the board of education in the Third ward, the candidates now nominated for other city offices repre senting the principles advocated by this convention. Geo. W. Hanna is a hustler and has a strong following among the business men, who are opposed to the grant ing of an electric light franchise be fore the same has been submitted to a vote of the people.- Mr. Hanna only accepted the nomination through pres sure from both political friends and foes, knowing thnt he would cham pion the cause and bring the same to a successful outcome as outlined in the platform and resolutions.

SHE DANCED NUDE. Margaret Cody Tells of Her Terpis ciiorcan Stunt. St. Paul, Minn.. March 2 4. Mar garet A. Cody, professional artists' nlodel and daughter of respectable parents, confessed that she was the person who danced nude before GOO men Monday night. Miss Cody's con fession caused almost a panic among the members of her audience, many of whom are ot the best families of the saintly city. She went even further than to con fess to the affair of Monday night and said that within the past two months she had appeared in a similar dance at private parties in St. Paul. One of those affairs was Eaid to have been at tended by an even dozen of the wealthiest section of St. Paul's elderly business men. She also told a clergyman, who is looking up the facts in the present case, that she had danced nude at a private function at Jackson, Minn., early this month. In telling of the affair she said: "Yes, I am the wom?n who danced. I have done so four times this winter in and about St. Paul. Tou see, it is not so terrib'e for me because I hava been a model ever since I was 15 years old. I sat for my father, who is a painter, and I have al.-n worked at the St. Paul School of Fine Arts. Mr. Xeillsen hired me to pose for his academy picture 'Spring' that caused much comment in New York." Miss Cody is 19 years old, is tall and blonde, with irregular features of great charm and a graceful figure. She is a graduate of central high school nnd bears a good reputation per sonally. The Ministerial association has taken up the matter of the dance in earnest and it is expected that the in vestigation win nave progressed far enough by the last of this week to lay the case before the grand jury. The clergymen have secured the names cf eighteen men who are alleged to have been present at the show. Miss Cody lives at 304 Iglehart street in this city. A Woman Deputy Sheriff. Colorado Springs, Col., March 24. Mrs. Elizabeth Cass Goddard, .one of the most prominent women of Colo rado, has been appointed a deputy sheriff of El Paso county.

Try It on Your Bald-IIeadcd Friends and Have a Laugh. If you smoke a cigar that burns with good solid ashes that will not fall off until the cigar is half smoked up. such a cigar as the Wadsworth Bros." Chicos, sold by Geo. W. Stansfield, 632 Kansas avenue, you can have a good joke on some baldheaded friend. When there is an inch or two of ash on the end of the cigar just let it fall on that bald head and see how high it can jump. The ashes are not hot enough to burn, but they are warm enough to be fe?t. The Chicos are a real ten cent Havana filled cigar that Geo. W. Stansfield sella for a nickel, and is the only 5c cigar where the ashes are firm and solid like those of expensive grades. You will en joy a Chico anyway, so try one and see how good It Is. RAiLROADjiEWS, Kansas Dirision of Rock Island Second In Importance. Illinois Biirision Only One Mak ing Better Exhibit. FEBRUARY FIGURES. Some Comparisons of Freight Service. Unlimited Cash for Improve ments This Tear. The Kansas division of the Rock Island railway is second in Importance, as Indicated by the amount of freight handled and the facility and -dispatch attendant thereto, of the fifteen di visions of the system. Comparative figures for the month of February, 1905, show that the Illi nois division, which consists principal ly of the 180 miles from Chicago to Rock Island, is the only divisioh that developed a greater amount of busi ness than the Kansas division. The fact that the Kansas division handled more than two-thirds as much busi ness as the Illinois division is signifi cant, when it is taken into considera tion that all the through and local freight in and out of Chicago destined to or from all points on the branch line to Minneapolis, Minn., the line into South and North Dakota, the line to Iowa and Nebraska, the line through Iowa and Missouri to Kansas City, the line to Colorado and the lines to the southwest to El Paso, as well as the lines south into Texas and the gulf, pass over the Illinois division. The Missouri and Iowa division come next in the order named in the volume of business handled. Here is a statement of the number of trains handled during the month on the four most important divisions, together with the train mileage: No. of Train Divisions trains. mneage. Illinois l,y Kansas ...1,3!'5 Missouri 1,505 Iowa 1,404 119,7ul 109.1!5 95.336 91,736 The Kansas division also holds sec ond place in the matter of the total number of cars hauled.

It is in the statement of ton miles that the Kansas division makes a particularly favor able showing.

Iowa 56,113,690 The Kansas division had the high.est average, number of cars per train of all the 15 divisions of the system dur- ng the month of February, and was second In the column of average tons per train. Here are the figures: Ave. cars Ave. tons Divisions per train, per train. Kansas 2S 645 Illinois 27 802 Missouri 23 W2 Iowa 19 611 An extraordinary feature of the ex hibit is the fact that the ton miles on the Kansas division alone exceeded by more than 5,000,000 the total number of ten miles on all three divisions of the northern district which Includes the lines in northern Iowa, Minnesota and the Dakotas. This section of the country is considered very good. The Kansas division does not embrace the total mileage in the state of Kansas, while the mileage of the three di visions of the northern district is al most three times as much as the total mileage of the Kansas division. In these figures no attempt has been made to show comparisons of the other 11 divisions of the system. It nvAy be mentioned that the ton miles of the Kansas division forms about one-eighth of the total ton miles shown In the exhibit of all the 15 di visions of the system. In other words, the ton miles on the Kansas division was double the average of the 15 di visions. The exhibit shown in the columns for the average cars per train and the average tons per train on the Kan sas division are remarkable on ac count of the fact that the mopth of February, the month for which the figures are given, was perhaps the hardest and most severe of any in the past several years, as well as the most severe of the winter last past. The showing of the Kansas division, when all the things with which the operating department had to contend with are taken into consideration, is most gratifying to Division Supt. C. W. Jones and the other officials on the division who co-operated with him in making this exceptionally fine record. The figures for the month of February quoted above are Indicative of the usual standing of the Kansas division, month by month. When one compre hends the significance of the figures given above and the strategecal loca tion of the Kansas division is also taken into consideration, it is not hard to find the reason for the recognition of Topeka by the present manage ment of the Rock Island as the nat ural operating headquarters for the lines west of the Missouri river. These facts doubtless will also have consid erable weight in finally determining the matter of returning the general traffic offices to Topeka, which now seems highly probable. The Rock Island seems to be very strong financially, and the engineer ing department and the maintenance department will have almost unlim ited cash to do the work necessary and possible to be accomplished dur ing the summer. The bridges and building- depart ment will have nearly a half million dollars to put into improvements of bridges and buildings on the Kansas division this year, and the engineer ing department Willi Jiave more than a million dollars to spend in replacing light steel rails with heavy rails and in ballasting the lines on the Kansas division. These figures do not include estimates for similar work which will be carried out on the other divisions of the svstem. Ther future for the Rock Island looks bright and rosy. $10,000 for Section Man. Atchison. Kan., March 2 4. Heirs of Thomas Sizemore, a Central Branch (Missouri Pacific) section hand who lost his life near Kirwin, a few weeks ago have sued the company for $10 000 damages. It will be remembered that Sizemore stepoed from the track and out of the -way- o passing freight train, and that the train was wrecked at the very point where he was stand ing. A box car fell upon the unfor tunate man, killing him almost in stantly. A similar accident will scarcely tfe heard of in a lifetime of railroading;.: SANTA FE RENEWS EFFORTS. Tries to Secure Possession of Angel Puss. The Santa Fe has renewed Its efforts before -the supreme court of Arizona last week to compel the dis trict attorney of Coconino county to oust Ralph Cameron by quo warranto proceedings for possession of the trail leading from Grand Canyon. Cam eron holds the property on an old mining claim and everyone who wishes to see the Grand Canyon must pass over this trail, paying Cameron a toll before doing so, however. The railroad company asserts that Cameron, has no right -to the property and is holding it illegally. The dis trict attorney has been importuned to bring action against the man, but has refused. The railroad now seeks to force him. The matter will be heard March 31. The Santa Fe has made previous at tempts to dispossess Cameron of the trail. District Attorney Ashurst's pre decessor also declined to bring action against Cameron and suits were insti tuted against him by the railroad, but they were thrown out on technicali ties. The trail in dispute has been held by Cameron for years. He has be come wealthy, it is said, through charging Grand Canyon visitors with tolls, and he will make a hard fight to hold the property in the event of the district attorney being forced to ac tion. Both officials who refused to proceed against the man contend that he is the rightful owner of the trail and that proceedings against him would avail nothingr and prove only a useless expense.

The Railway Age has prepared a list of railwavs under construction and projected in the United Spates. While many of the projects enumerated will never material ize, a large mileage is projected to cover territory and development of which only awaits transportation facilities, and such lines as these will be built some of them this year and others' in years to come. An effort to cull from this impressive list such projects as bear the stamp of gen uineness results in showing a total of 7,300 miles now under construction or under contract, and 9,332 miles more which may be classed as live projects.

Victim Had Become Helpless When He Tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, But Was Cured In Four Months. Because he did not know that there la a remedy for locomotor ataxia, Mr. Ariel endured four years of weakness, pain ani misery of thinking- his case to be incurable.- Any druggist could have told hira that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, after establishing a reputation for the quick and thorough cure of ordinary nervous disorders, had been used in cases of ataxia with results that were aston ishing even to the makers of that great nerve remedy. The Dr. Williams Medicine company investigated these cases carefully, found the facts beyond dispute, and the cures lasting. Then the victims of lo comotor ataxia were told to despair no longer. In the hope that it may shorten the misery of others similarly afflicted, Mr. Ariel makes the following state ment; "At the outbreak of the Spanish American war I went with Company B, Eighth Regiment, M. V. M., into camp at Chlckamauga, and while there my

Mr. Edward H. Ariel. system became thoroughly poisoned with malaria. When I was mustered out, I carried that disease home with me. After a while locomotor ataxia ap peared." "How did the ataxia begin?" "I first noticed a pain in my ankles and knee joints. This was followed by a numb feeling in my legs. I was at work in the Portsmouth, N. H., Navy Yard when the symptoms first appeared. At times I had to drag myself around; my legs would shake or become per fectly dead." "Did you ordinarily have any diffi culty in walking?" "I had constant trouble in getting about in the dark. I kept a light burn ing in my room at night as I could not balance myself in the darkness. Even with the aid of a light I wobbled, and my movements were so unsteady that I would reach out and catch hold of chairs to prevent myself from falling." "How long were you a sufferer?" "Four years in all. During the last three years I was confined to bed, some times for a week, again for three or four weeks at a time. When I was lying down the pain in my back was fre nnentlv so severe that I had to be help ed up and put in a chair to get a little relief. 1 had consiaeraDie pain in my bowels and no control over my kidneys. The worst of all was that the doctor could give me no hope of recovery." How were you curea I read in a newspaper that Dr. Wil liams' Pink Pills had cured locomotor ataxia and one or two friends spoke to me about them. In the fall of 1903 I be gan to take them for myself and I had not used more than one box before I found that the pains in my knees and ankles were greatly relieved. our months afterward I became a perfectly well man. and I am today enjoying the best of health. Dr. W illiams' Pink Pills cured the locomotor ataxia and drove the malaria out of my system too." Mr. Edward II. Ariel lives at No. 43 Tn-w str-ept Amesburv. Mass. Every sufferer from locomotor ataxia should try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills without de lav. There Is no reason why they should no't do for others all that they have done for Mr. Ariel. They also cure sciatica, neuralgia and partial paralysis. Any druggist can supply them. ifornia; Illinois Central, 124 miles In In diana, Illinois and Mississippi; Midland Valley.

The average number of salaried off! Ials and clerks employed by the street railway companies of the United States an 1902 was 7,128 and the average num- per ot wage-earners was 133.641. The salaries paid amounted to $7,439,716, and ifie wages to $S0,770,449. The wages alone formed 56.8 per cent of the total operating expenses of the street railway companies. By far the most important groups of employes are conductors and motormen. These two classes, which are approximately equal In number and in wages received, constituted about three fifths or the total number of wage-earners. The most common rate of pay was 52 per day. The highest wages were re ported in Montana and the lowest, in 'Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, North Carolina, and Tennessee. The Salvation Army In America Is to celebrate its twenty-fifth anniversary Saturday of this week ,the celebration Saturday, of this week, the celebration four days. The most important nd im posing function In honor or the event naturally will be held in New York city. A quarter of a century ago the Salva tion Army in America numbered eight persons. Its work was commenced in England and this was the next country touched by it. A little start was made Siera as far back as 1872, but as it was impossible to send reinforcements noth ing: of permanent value was accomplish ed. In 1S79 a second start was made In Philadelphia, which was more prom ising, and an appeal for help sent to Gen. Booth was responded to favorably end In the late winter or early spring of 1ES0 seven "hallelujah lassies" land ed In New Tork and the Salvation Army bad come to the United States to stay. In its early days the Salvation Army was laughed at and ridiculed merciless ly, but it kepi right on its work after Its own fashion and its own ideas. At present all the larger cities ha-e a de tachment of the Salvation Army at W-ork and there are in America 3.706 officers and employes. There are 736 corps and outposts. An effective at tachment is the farm colony, of which there are three, in Ohio, Colorado and California. HOME MARKET GROWTH. The occupation of the home market fcy American manufacturers is illustra ted by some figures recently issued by the department of commerce and labor through its bureau of statistics, show ing the importations into the United Etates of luxuries and other articles of voluntary use during the past 15 years. Statistics just compiled show that the importations of luxuries and other ar ticles of voluntary use amounted to 137 million dollars In the calendar year 1904 an Increase of less than 8 millions over the importations of 1S90. Importations under the group "Manufactures ready for consumption" amounted in 1904 to 35? millions, as against 130 millions in 1S90, an increase of but 8 million dol lars, while manufacturers' materials, including both raw and partially manu factured. Increased from 2S3 millions in 1890 to 478 millions in 1904, a growth of practically 200 million dollars. Food stuffs show no substantial change in the -value of importations at the two periods named, being 261H million dol lars In 1890 and 262 millions in 1904. TYom these figures it will be seen that the class of goods required by American manufacturers is the only group which has shown any marked increase during the past 15 years. Diamonds form a notable exception to the general rule that importations of luxuries into the United States have re mained practically stationary since 1S90. Xnrlng the past decade over 129 million dollars' worth of diamonds have been Imported into the country, having in creased from lhb million dollars in value In 1S96, the earliest year for which fig rifes are available, to 23 millions In lSi'4, Of the latter sum 10 million dol- 4 lars' value was imported in the uncut state, indicating that diamond cuttin is becoming an important industry in our country. Jewelry and precious stones, other than diamonds, on the other hand, have fallen off from a total Importation of $10,189,202 in 1S96 to $5,- MX,Zz in 1904. That this decrease In the Importation of foreign manufactures of jewelry and other 'forms of gold and silver does not .represent any reduction in home demand for., such luxuries, is shown by a reference to the census fig ures. The capital employed in the Uni ted States in the manufacture of jew elry has Increased from 11 million dol lars in 1880 to 22 millions In 1890 and 28 millions in 1900; and the value of the product from 22 million dollars in 18S0 to 34 millions in 1890 and 464 millions in 1906, practically all of which is con sumed in the home market. Silk manufactures form another class of luxuries whose Importations have decreased during the last 13 years. In 1890 the value of silk manufactures im ported Into the United States was $41, 085,990, while in the calendar year which ended with December last their value was but $31,030,522. Though France still leads in the share which she supplies of this total, having contributed 13 million dollars" value in 1904, Japan now holds practically equal rank with Ger many. Each of these countries supplied about 5.4 million dollars' worth of silk manufactures for the markets of the United States; but Germany's share fell off 1.4 million dollars as compared with 1903, while Japan made a gain of 1.9 million dollars in the same period. American silk manufacturers are prin cipally engaged In supplying the home market, as their exportations but slight ly exceed a half million dollars annual ly. That their industry is a growing one is evidenced, by the fact that in 1870 there were but 86 establishments devoted to the manufacture of silk. their product was valued at but 12 mil lion dollars, and the amount paid for wages was less than 2 million dollars. In 1900 the importations of raw silk amounted to 8,209.818 pounds, valued at $31,790,531, while the quantity imported in 1904 was 16.578,005 pounds, valued at $54,879,276; the importations having thus doubled in quantity in the short period from 1900 to 1904. Another class of luxuries whose Im portations have failed to increase sub stantially during the last 15 years Is wines, including champagne and still wines. In 1890 wines showed a total im portation of 10 million dollars, and this figure is but slightly exceeded by the total "for 1904, when the value of the imports was $10,324,432. Production of wine in the United States increased meantime from 24 million gallons in 1S90 to 3S4 millions in 1904. 3 AYHAWKEB JOTS. The Iola Register editor tried to an nounce that Bishop Royce was in town and the printer did it this way, "Bishop Poyge is in Iola." Lawrence Gazette: "Russia's Sole Hope," that a dispatch speaks of, does not refer to the soles of the Russian boots, as it should. The Iola Recorder is responsible fpr the statement that Kuropatkin never found the words "good for one contin uous retreat" written across his Tie pass. Lawrence Journal: In Topeka police court last evening four jointists were given heavy fines, but it may be as it is in Iola. the punishment adjudged by the court is never inflicted. In Lawrence they are not even arrested. Hutchinson News: Horace G. Burt former president of the Union Pacific railroad, is said to have been offered the $100,000 job of directing the work of the Panama canal. But the salary is said now to be marked down to $25,000. The Coffeyville Journal is responsible for the announcement that Edward Bellamy, of Cherryvale, is not looking backward, he is looking forward to life of happiness and with this idea in view led Miss Nellie H. Harmon to the hymeneal altar. The Lawrence Journal: Jurors and witnesses in the Chicago beef trust case now under investigation are kept under the closest surveillance by secret ser vice officers of the government. There is an evident desire to undo the damage done the administration by the Garfield report. The Salina Union: It is refreshing to the average old time Populist to listen to the railing against the railroads, the trusts and combines, the land grafters, oil robbers, et cetera, et al, that is going on just now. It makes him think of the old times. Can it be possible that the old farmer had his ears closer to the grass roots? Lawrence Gazette: The other day when the Gazette remarked that there wouldn't be much excitement in Kansas until the next campaign came on a year hence, the important fact that a battleship is to be christened slipped its memory. The chances are that there will be a bigger row about that than there is over a senatorial election. Four years ago the daughter of ex- Vice President Morton was married to a French count. The usual divorce fol lowed adn now her father is suing to get back some of the property that was put up as the purchase price of the title. says the Galena Times, and then it re marks that a reputable paper cannot use the language that properly belongs to an episode like that. The Salina Journal: The Journal felt all the time that the president would Russia One Tear Ajjo. i T -.CNN ZX. tt. come west for the man to build the Panama canal at a salary of 4100.000 a year. This paper urged a Kansas man for the place, but the Hutchinson News and one or two othe politicals papers came forward with a suggestion for Dave Blaine, of Pratt, thus dividing the Kansas strength, and the result is that Kansas got left again, and Nebraska gets the plum. The Lawrence Gazette has investi gated the beef trust and thus reports: "The packing houses of the country are capitalized at one hundred and ten mil lions of dollars. On this amount they made a profit of forty-three per cent last year, according to statistics. A net profit of about seven dollars a head is made on every beef slaughtered. This is the big trust that Mr. Garfield said was actually losing money. There is not a farmer in Kansas who cannot prove Mr. Garfield to be a chump, or worse." THE IMPOSTOR. In the year 1SC2 a young man named Arthur Messmore, son of an English squire who was well to dor set out for Australia to set u'j a sheep ranch. He was hoard of at intervals for the next three years,- and then came the report that he had been killed by natives while on an expedition in the wilds. A few weeks later the police sent on a report In which the full particulars were given. It appeared that the young man had just sold out his ranch, and, therefore, there was nothing for the lawyers to settle up. As to what became of the money paid for the ranch, it was claim ed that Messmore had it with him,. and that it had fallen into the hands of the natives who slew him. The son was mourned as one dead, and time went on until nine years more had elapsed. There was a second son, but he had died at home meanwhile. The father had grown old and feeble minded and the mother had arrived at the age of 70. Then one day the son who was supposed to be dead arrived home in the best of health. He told a story of having been captured instead of killed of having been held prisoner for years of living a Crusoe life on an uninhabited island off the coast of put ting to sea at last on a raft and being finally picked up adrift and brought home in a merchantman. The son was welcomed as one returned from the dead. Of course he haa changed great ly in his looks, but after a day or two his mother and father were perfectly satisfied as to his identity. If they had not been he was prepared with plenty of proofs. Putting to Sea at Last era Ja Raft. V.-' Day by day, and hour by hour Arthur, the restored son, mentioned incidents and adventures of his boyhood, often calling up things long forgotten by parents and neighbors. It was the same house, and he was familiar with its rooms and its history. He remembered a secret hiding place known only to members of the family, and-could frtve the dates when certain repairs had been made. He spoke of old friends and neighbors, giving all names correctly, and his memory seemed as fresh as if he had been absent only a year. Dozens of people heard his story, but for some months no portion of it got into print. The son had been home six months when his father died. All property was left to Arthur by will, and he was to have the care of his mother as long as she lived. A month after the funeral a girl twenty years old named Anaie Shaw returned to the place to visit her sister. She had been the child playmate of Ar thur, but her people had moved away some years before he went to Australia. She had heard of the man's return, and was much interested. He called on her and greeted her with a great show of cordiality. At first she was puzzled. Then she was uncertain and annoyed. Then she became distrustful and sus picious. From her fifth to her ninth birthday she had seen Arthur almost every day, and, of course, hundreds of little incidents had occurred. Out of the hundreds he could recall only two or three. After they had met three or four times the girl became satisfied that the man before her was an impostor. True, he greatly resembled Arthur, but the story that had satisfied so many others failed to satisfy her. She found his memory at fault in many tilings, and day by day her suspicions grew. On a certain occasion when she was about six years old, she had become mired in a swamp when walking In the woods with Arthur. It had taken him half an hour to extricate her. On an other occasion, while they were pad dling about a lake, the boat had filled with water and sunk under them, and both had nearly been drowned. Again, a pony had run away with her and thrown her into a roadside ditch, and Russia Today. From the Philadelphia Record. mm Jin 4 4 4 iIj.wfwf. Arthur had carried her home on his back because of her sprained ankle. She led up to these things and many others in conversation, but he seemed totally ignorant of them. There was one particular incident that she knew he could not'have forgotten, no matter what hardships he had passed through. In her seventh year a big wax doll that had been given her for Christ mas was accidentally broken beyond re pair. She and Arthur held a funeral over it and buried the remains. While they were at the grave beside a brook a swan came sailing along and was at tcked before their eyes tiy bird of prey. Arthur drove the voracious bird away with a club, and a few minutes later it was shot by a sportsman.- She led up to this adventure, but he rememberrd nothing whatever about it. Miss Shaw was now fully satisfied that the man before her was a villain, but how to unmask hini was another matter. The mother and all the people about were satisfied that he was the long lost son, and anything said .to the contrary would have met' with5 ridicule. The girl was very-determined, however, and she soon decided on a plan to pave the way. There was an did- woman liv ing in the neighborhood who told for tunes, and she agreed tcj extejid .her aid. For the next month all people coming to her wer.e given a hint that Arthur Messmore was not what he claimed to be. This soon caused talk for miles around, and the talk soon resulted in distrust and' suspicion. Some of the lo cal papers picked the matter up and de clared that the mystery surrounding young Messmore's death in far-away Australia had never been properly cleared up, and so it came about, after three months, that the lawyers took a hand in the case. The young man had kept posted as to what was going on, and had laugh ed all talk to scorn. His mother de clared it a shame that his identity should be questioned, and when public opinion finally forced an investigation she was on hand to pledge her life that no mistake had been made. The first hours' investigation proved her in the wrong. A great gale had blown down a huse beech tree one night while Arthur was yet at home, and in its fall it had killed two dogs in their kennel. The supposed son could tell nothing of the incident. A score of other things were called up to test him, and he failed in all of them. It was then found that he was ar ranging to dispose of all his property and flee the country, and he wo.s taken into custody until a new inves tigation could be made in Australia. Bail was rriven and Arthur went back home, accompanied by his mother. She had been made to doubt him, but she still hoped that he would be able to clear himself. In the course of a month, without having reaped any particular benefit from the property, he disappeared and was never heard of ajrain. A new in vestigation revealed the fact that the true Arthur Messmore was dead, but it fastened no crime on the other. The two had probably been "chums" for years, and during that time the false Arthur had drawn the incidents of his life from the other, and when left free to do so he had returned to England and played the lmposter. But for the girl friend of his boy hood there would never a question have been raised, and he would have lived and died as the true son of the father and mother who welcomed him so warmly after his years of peril and absence.

India rubber, or caouthouc, is a ory, coagulated, milky juice, the sap of trees and shrubs indigenous to the most un healthy and inaccessible regions in the oauatorial countries of South America. Recently it has also been found in large quantities in certain areas of West Africa and the Uganda protectorate. The mor tality amonj the natives in the quest for rubber is enormous. The natives are equipped for their hunts by the brokers and venture to the haunts of the caoutchouc trees in boats and by marshes through miles of thick forests. But the climate carries off the rubber-hunters like fiies and the percentage of those who return from the expedition is very low. Manv properties of a vegetable emulsion are possessed by the sap, which contains tho caoutchouc in the form of myriads cf minute globules. The process of tapping the trees tor the sap is closely akin to the method of extracting sirup from the T,, trpos in North America. The sap Is collected in large vats. The juice is uicn suDiiutted to a. neat and smoke treat ment. A rire of palm nuts is made and a pole is inserted into the vat containing the viscid fluid. When withdrawn from the vessel the end of the pole is besmear ed with the sticky substance. The rub ber is then held in the smoke issuing from the palm nut fire until the sap coagulates. The treatment in the peculiar smoke ef fects the curing of the rubber. When the operation is completed the pole with its charge is once more im mersPd in the vat of raw caoutchouc and the smoke and heat process repeated and so on several times until there is a large knob or accumulation of rubber upon the end of the pole, constituted of hundreds of thin lavers of rubber. The end of the pole is then cut out of the rubber and the spherical mass is duly examined by the broker and labeled according to its qual ity. DEATHS AND FUNERALS. The funeral of Mrs. A. W.

THE TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, FRIDAY EVENING, MATvCII 24, 1905, Flo CREMATORY ROW. People AVon't Have Chance to Vote on; Municipal uw nei-siui. The proposition submit the issu ance of $15,000 worth of bonds for a municipal crematory to vote of the rmnnle m the coming spring election on the fourth of April was defeated; last night in the body 01 tne council by a vote of five to live. Harassed and worried on every side with the opposition well developed and the absence of a councilman in favor of granting the election, the fight simmered down to an effort to save the ordinance from an effectual mothering for all time. The ordinance wiil come up for ac tion at the next meeting of the coun cil and the time for election only delayed. Councilman Ryder, in the absence of Mayor Bergundthal in Oklahoma, occupied the chair while the body of the council was further depleted by the absence of Councilman Holliday from the Second ward. The councilmen who have all along -.,c0h t v o Ai."tirTv Councilmen Nel- lls. Howe, Swendson. Shimer andj Hughes, were all present. i These gentlemen had their plan for attack all outlined. As soon as tne; measure was proposed Councilman Howe moved that the ordinance be re-( ferred to its proper committee mas much as it had never been considered r. o mmmitt meeting. This at once brought on discussion. Councilman Griley, representing his constituency: of the Second ward who have all along! led the fight for a change in the pres- ent methods because primarily of its. location near that ward, moved for aj consideration of the ordinance ut once, without adopting the dilatory tactics; of referring the same to a committee. Councilman Swendson men .om. t rinn'r think that this is the tn fnnsirlPr this thing. It j w ill only complicate this election. V, e are going to have two different proposi tions to vote upon and Ave are liable to vote upon the waterworks measure, the addition of this crematory matter wi.l make four airrerent uuniss i ation and will certainly- complicate; matters. I believe the matter, if at all, thn,il,l crime uo at a special election later on. Furthermore. I have never j pfn the engineer's estimates upon the cost of this matter andI have not heard that he has prepared any. I don't think that we should go ahead until we have secured these estimates." The estimates which had been side tracked were brought to light and the councilman assured that they were pre pared. Action on their adoption how ever was deferred until the completion cf the discussion. Councilman Green, in defense, arose end answered Councilman Swendson. He said: "This matter has come up at various times before and we have thoroughly threshed it out. We are not biingir'g anything new before you to night. What we are acting upon now was adonted at a previous meeting to ell purposes. Those engineer estimates are nil here. This effort to refer the matter to a committee is simply an at tempted dodge to kill the ordinance. We ought to pass this ordinance tonight. Just because we are Ehy one member in the support of this measure is not any reason why we should try to kill it." On a vote to call the election the ordi nance was lost by a tie vote: Ayes. Councilmen Rice, Kutz. Green. Griley and Neil: noes, Howe, Swendson, Nellis, Shimer and Hughe3. The motion to approve the engineer's estimate upon the crematory was then made. In reading the estimate it was discov ered that the estimate was for the full amount of $15,000, while a number of the councilmen were under the impres sion that the estimate was under that amount, leaving a leeway In the $15. 000 to be secured from the bond issue for the purchaste of a site. This immediately called for objection and sufficient objections were sustain ed in the end to defeat it. Councilmen Swendson in tilting his lance said: "There is no provision made for a site. What are you going to, do for a site? This estimate eats up the whole amount of the bond issue and you have no money for the purchase of a site The remainder of the council- EOZEfl or LITTLE GIRL SIssp'ess Eights for Mother and Awful Suffering Df Chill CURED BYCUTICURA Hail Given up All Hops of Ever FMing Any Cure. Mrs. I. B. Jones, Addington, Ind. T-, writes: My little girl had been suffering for two years from eczema, and during that time I could not get a night's sleep, as her ailment was very severe. I had tried so many remedies and spent so much money, deriving no benefit, I had given up all hope of making any cure. As a last resort I was persuaded to try Cuticura, and to my great delight a marked change was manifested from the first application. I gave the child a bath, with Cuticura Soap, using a soft piece of muslin cloth. This I did twice a day, each time following with Cuti cura Ointment, and at the same time gave the Resolvent, according to directions. One bos of Ointment and two bottles of the Resolvent, to gether with the Soap, effected a per manent cure. I submit this for pub lication, hoping it will assist othet sufferers in curing themselves." COMPLETE TREATMENT Consisting of Cuticura Soap Ointment and Pills. The first step in the treatment of chronic Eczema is tt remove the scales and crusts and soften the skin, by warm bath with Cuticura Soap. Dry carefnllv and apply Cuticura Ointment, lightly at firsthand where advisable spread it on pieces of soft cloth and bind in place. Take the Resolvent Pills, or liquid, in medium doses. Do not use cold water in bath ing, and avoid cold, raw winds. S14 Kirrephmrt the world. Cutleura Resolvent, WV. V? o ChorolMe Coe.rr1 Kile, lie prr Till of 0). l-Wramt. Me., 8op, SSe.

The final vote stood eight to two. Councilmen Swendson, Green, Howe, Nellis, Hughes, Rice, Shimer, Griley voted against while Councilmen Kutz and Neil voted in support. A lively tilt issued just previous to the casting of the vote between Coun cilman Swendson and Griley. Griley who took umbrage at Swendson's con tention that a site should be provided for, said: "We people in the Second ward wiil look after that matter of a site. We are ready and willing to start a subscription fund for the pur chase of a site. We are willing to put up the money to buy. that empty tract of ground just west of where the gentleman lives in the Sixth ward. I think that would be a good site for a crematory." Councilman Gtiley then made a successful endeavor to rescue the or dinance calling for an election for a vote upon the crematory bonds by moving to refer the ordinance to the committee on health and sanitation. This made Councilman Ryder mad. Ryder is on the health and sanitation committee and has been wearied to death with an attempt to struggle with the crematory question and bring it out to a successful issue. He flash ed out at the members of the council: "This is not fair tactics and you know it isn't fair with only one representa tive from the First ward present. This will come back to you gentlemen and it will come back hard. Your vote will show your stand and the people wiil ask from you your explanation in the attempt to block their wishes." Councilman Griley then arose and offered an explanation of his motion. He said: "The reason I referred this to a committee, Mr. President, was on account of my desire to save the ordi nance. I wish to have it brought up again." The motion was carried without op position and the ordinance was re ferred to the health and sanitation committee. It will be brought up again in the council. Those who are in favor of the motion will recon struct their lines and attempt to se cure its passage later on. The contract of the Topeka Desic cating company for the removal of the city's garbage was called up. Coun cilman Swendson urged its adoption on the basis of the city's absolute need of protection for its health. Those on been arrayed, openly made sport of his j-1 naturedly and continued in the course of his remarks. A motion was then made to refer it to the health and sanitation committee but the motion was lost. A motion was then made to defer action upon the contract. In the discussion that ensued Councilman Ryder made a! bitter attack upon the Desiccating' company for its laxity in living up to its former contract. He said: "I am surprised that you gentlemen will for a moment consider any contract with this man. The man who treats a con tract as he has done, villifying it and prove $7.00 trousers New ,5 J y L it 4 i i mm 1 V--'' 1 Plain IOTM 1 P. i 1 Thevperfected ideas of America's leading hat shops.

After the preliminary hearing given him on Thursday in the city court of Topeka, Judge McCabe bound Calvin Heck over to the Shawnee county dis trict court under bond of $10,000, for the assault and attempted robbery of W. F. Kuntz on January S of this year. Though a great many witnesses were subpoenaed, the state did not use half the number. The defense called Dr. O'Donnell, an expert chemist, to the stand, to state the result of his exam ination of the blood-spots found on the clothes of Heck and Groff. He could not say definitely how long the blood had been on the clothes, but did declare that it was too old to definitely say whether it was human blood or not. Groff was the star witness for the state. He told his story in a quiet even way, much in the same manner as the confession which he made the night af ter the brutal assault. Takes 60 Per Cent.

Twenty Acre Tract Offered for Re finery at CoffeyvHIe. Independence, Kan., March 24. S. R. M6tt, president of the Richardson Mott Oil company of Independence, will be in Coffeyville the latter part of this week for the purpose of looking over the situation with a view to building a refinery. Mr. Mott was at Independence yester day and talked of the proposition. Mr. Mott said: "One of the important things we have to take into considera tion, of course, is plenty of oil. I un derstand that Coffeyville can produce enough oil to supply a 1,000 barrel re finery. The railroad facilities is an other proposition that we have found to be better than most towns in this part of the oil belt. We want to locate where we can find a water supply. For a 1,000 barrel refinery it will take at least 1,000 barrels of oil every twenty four hours. "We have a good production in the Wayside field, but there is a possibility that we can't find an ample water sup ply. We would not go away from our production to build a refinery if it was not on account of the water supply. We have been offered a 20-acre tract near the railroad and the citizens are anxious for it. "The machinery has been ordered and some of it will be shipped in a few weeks. It is not our intention to run a co-operative concern, but to run it from a business standpoint, with the idea of enlarging from time to time in order to better utilize the different by products of the crude petroleum. "At first we will attempt to get gaso line and illuminating oil from the crude, but later we will undertake to refine lubricating oil. We have our company organized and the money is raised for the enterprise."

That Is What Judge Hayden Called Attorney Cowles. Said That lie Harasses Court With Jeers and Jibes. THREAT OF A FIXE. Attorney Subsides and Matter Is Dropped. Witnesses Need Not Appear at Termit Hearing. A very important decision, or rather agreement was arrived at in the probate court this morning, to the effect that a witness subpoenaed to appear before Judge Hayden in a case of an applica tion for a permit to sell liquor, need not appear unless he wants to. The instance came up in the applica tion cf Dr. W. S. Osborne for a permit at the Copeland County drug store. Monte Campbell, who sold the place to Osborne, was subpoenaed but did not appear. Judge Hayden ruled, and both sides accepted his opinion, that Camp bell could not be forced into court. In permit cases the probate court sits as a commissioner under injunctions from the supreme court, and not in his regular capacity as probate judge. For that reason he is not empowered with juaiciai privileges to issue a commit ment for a witness who does not ap pear. The law governing the matter is very clear on that point. The matter was discussed pro and con by Charles Magaw. attorr.y for Osborne, and W. L. Cowles. the attorney for the State Temperance I'nion, and they agreed w ith Judge Hayden that Carr.pbell could not be forced into court. County Attorney Hungate tried not to have the matter decided. In addressing the court he said: "I have no doubt in my mind but that these men are very desirous of enforcing the prohibitory law. It would therefore be to their dis advantage to have it known all over the city thut a witness need not come in and testify In a permit case unless he wants to. If that gets out and becomes public property nil over the citv why you can see the effect that it will have." But the point was settled by that time. Judge Hayden said that he would issue a commitment upon Campbell if it was wanted, just to test the matter. But the State Temperance Union, who wanted him. said that thev were satis fied that the law gave Judge Hayden no power to do so and were willing to drop the matter. But the ooint was made and henceforth a witness can put the matter up to himself whether he wants to appear ry not in a permit ap plication case. Osborne was granted his wrmif Tt deciding Judge Hayden modified his statements with the phrase, "under suspicion. j nere was no evidence j against the place. County Commission er Sterne, me owner of the building was called in as a witness. Harry Bone ap peared as his attorney. The Temper ance union wanted Campbell who had run the place before. They did not say whether or not they expected to get evi dence from him. After the case had been decided. At torney V. H. Cowles for the State Tem perance union, commenced his regular post mortem discussion, just as he has been in the habit of doing right along. He passed a number, of sneering jibes at Judge Hayden In the course of his talk. "Oh. we are making a little progress now since Hayden has improved some," he said to a bystander. He kept up this kind cf hrlf-serious banter for quite a while. Hayden said nothing but went on about his work. It got to be too much for the genial rresuling judge of the probate court, Rowever. Wheeling quickly in his chair, he turned to Cowles and said: "I have about enough of this kind of WITH OCXDOOC)OCOCXDCOOOOCX3CXXXXX)00 COCXDCOOOOCOOOOOCOOOCOOCXXX)C stuff. You have been making it a point right along to hang around here after a decision is made and attempt to har rass the court with jeers and jibes about his decisions. I would advise you to cut it out." "You seem to be losing your temper," answered Cowles, turning very red. "I certainly am." replied Judge Hay den. "In my opinion you are consider able of a four-flusher. Keep it up very much longer and I will simply impose my power to fine you for contempt." A sort of electric silence circled around the court room for a few min utes, which Cowles broke by saying very quietly und politely: "Oh, I am just waiting jlo see the papers in a case." The Incident was then considered closed. MR- THOKXBIRG MOVES OX. Leaves Service of Rock Creamery. Island for Grant Thornburg, division freight agent at this point for the Rock Island has tendered his resignation to take effect on the first of April. Mr. Thornburg will assume the position of tramc manager for the Beatric Creamery company, the new creamery trust formed some two months since with headquarters in Lincoln, Neb., and Des Moines. Ia.

Chief of Police Frank Stahl, aided by Detective Ross and Plain Clothes Man Whalen, made another spectacular raid on a poker game on Thursday night. The chief has had suspicions for some time tnat a little "game" was being car ried on quietly at 116 West Fifth street in the second story. So last night he climbed on the roof of Art Massey's blacksmith shop and gazed down through the skylight. "Chips were passing in the nights So the old man ordered his men to follow him. They went down on the pavement again and up the stairs, he in the lead. He push ed open the door, when some one got him by the shoulder and threw him back and closed the door in his face. The officers could hear the players packing up their chips. Ross suspected that thev would try to escape through the skylight. So the chief climbed back on the roof. Just then he saw three men crouching down behind the chimney. He pulled his gun and fired. The men gave themselves UD. Meantime Joe Ross captured four more in the room, having succeeded in breaking down the door a second time. At the station the men gave their names as follows: S. Perkins. Ernest Johnson. D.

"It was a bad trip," said Charley Nichols, manager of the St.' Louis Cardinals, at the Hotel Throop today as he ordered his men to get into uni form and play an exhibition game at the ball park this afternoon. Yes, it was a bad trip," he continued gloomily. "We had the worst streak of weather that could be imagined for this time of the year. The day we struck Marlin, Tex., the training place which we had selected, the sun was warm or almost hot. We felt good and were happy in prospect of having the right kind of atmosphere. We ail turned out and cut loose just about as hard as a man will when going into spring training. Big kinks in our arms and legs was the result. This we expected to rid ourselves of, how ever, very easily with continued work. But the next day was a fright. A cold, wet, drizzling rain began to fall. An occasional bright day would come on, but in general the weather was rotten. The only real workout we have had was at Oklahoma City last Saturday and Sunday against Dud Risley's Western association team, and both of those days were raw and windy. In fact," continued Nichols, "we did not get the benefit from our trip which we should have received. None of us have loosened up right just yet. We have some pretty hard picking ht ahead of us, too. Saturday, Sun day and Monday we go up against the American association Kansas City Blues. We have light games at St. Joe, Springfield and Joplin, and then we go right home to open up a series of nine games with the St. Louis Browns. And everyone of those will be hard ones you can wager. Of course we got some benefit, he continued as he walked outside and got a bath in the bright sunshiny morning, "and it did us some good. know that there has been a good deal of talk among managers of the big teams to discontinue the idea of southern spring training trips, but we cannot do anything else. Comiskey gave out a big interview recently that he would probably not go south next year, but I'll bet he will be araitog the first down there. There is nothine else to do. It is an expensive matter, afid will be especially so to us this year i because of the bad weather which meant poor crowds. Last year we gathered up a little money on the trip. but this year it was poor business. 'What do you think about your team?" was asked. Good," was the laconic answer. When pressed further he said: "Of course you know I cannot say much about the makeup now. All my men have not yet reported, principal among these, Jake Beckley. He hasn't come into the fold yet. I have quite a number or youngsters wno promise nicely. They may be playing bril liantly now, however, but may fall fiat before the season is well under way. Then besides I wouldn't care to say anything about the merits of the men, either the new or the old. be cause it might hurt some of them. I think, however, that we will get along all right this season." "What do you think about the Ok lahoma City Western association team?" was asked of him. "They are a likely lot." was his re ply. "Risley didn't have all of them together but his aggregation played ball all right enough. I liked the work of Jimmie Frick. his third base man, especially. That youngster of t JX. -AL.

He is tak ing advantage of every pretty day right now to limber up his team. BEATS THE CINDER BEETLE. Jap Fly Company Organized to Fight the Hessians. As the Hessian flies are very bad in the wheat this spring the progressive farmers of Bloom township have or ganized the Jap Fly company and have imported a large stock of Jap flies which they have turned loose in the fields of Bloom to drive the Hessian fly out of the Russian wheat and there ought to be something doing soon, says the Clay Center Dispatch. The company has a few extra full grown ones which may be obtained at a rea sonable figure by anyone giving a good and sufficient bond guaranteeing the company against any damage the little cusses might do, as they won't stand for any monkey work or red tape business. It is their nature to scrap and if they should get away they might tackle old John D. It is their nature to go after big fry. They are perfectly harmless if let alone, but if monkeyed with they will just simply skin the first thing in sight and will not leave nough hair on it to make a collarette tor a Katy did. The company does. not care to answer for the safety of the Standard Oil company. If a few of these little Japs should get started in Kansas there would not be enough of the standard storage tanks left in the state to. make a tin whistle for a common school youth. The company has a few of the large ones on hand with Diaek oacKS, are scrappers "from Cork," which they will .sell at 30 cents per dozen. Get your order in soon as they hatch very slowly and we are not able to fill more than seven orders per week. FIRED CAR OF MATCHES Still They Were Not Bum Vp. Permitted to A carload of matches was on the verge of burning up Thursday afternoon at 4 p. m. The car was being unloaded at a lower Kansas avenue commission house when they were accidentally set on fire. The matches were boxed up in cases and about one-third of the car had been unloaded and stored upon the first floor of the building, when the floor gave way permitting them to fall to the base ment. One of the boxes filled with matches caught on fire through the fric tion to which the matches were sub jected in the fall. Only the energetic work of the fire department kept the flames from com municating to the remainder of ship ment. The loss was small. Senator Warner's Successor. Washington, March 24.

Some Intersting Pioneer History McPherson County Recalled. of The McPherson Republican of Thursday says: Today is the tnirty-fifth anniversary of McPherson county and to celebrate this event a short eketcu oMte early history is given. Coronado, the Spanish explorer, who made an expedition from Mexico to the northern boundary of Kansas in 1542 was the first white man to st foot on what is now McPherson county. He entered at the southwestern corner of the county, passed by Big Lake, up Turkey creek and north ward until he renched Oypsum cxeeK, which he followed down until he reached the Smoky river. On Gypsum creek he is said to have located the "Uiamona fields of Quivera," the diamonds being crystalized gypsum. According to the McPherson Independ ent (now the J-lepubllcan) or January 21. 1878. the first wagon train from Missouri to Santa Fe passed through Kansas in 1823. In 1825 was established by Major Sil by under an act of congress the Santa Fe trail, traces of which can yet be seen three miles south of this city. Along this trail were fortihed ranches, of which ul- ler s ranch on Turkey creek was one. John N. Corgan who was one of the best citizens c f the county, passed through. here with an expedition under Gen. Joe Johnson in 11-C5. At that time Fuller's ranch was the only white settlement in the county. The first settler in the county who re mained long enough to be called a settler was Isaac Sharp, who lived during the winter of 1859 on Sharps creek. He then settled on what was later known as the J. G. Maxwell estate. He hunted and trapped and traded with the Indians, which were then very numerous. He brought- with him from Pennsylvania his father and mother, the latter d"ied and was buried on the creek. She was without doubt the first white woman in the county. In 1865 the stone corral was built on the Little Arkansas by a man named Wheeler. Here Col. Gri-rson with the Seventh cav alry encamped during the next year. The oificer in command under Colonel Grierson and Lieutenant Col. Custer, who was killed with the same cavalry troop at Custer's charge. In the year 1866 the set tlers commenced to arrive plentifully. Among the first were Sol and David Ste phenson. In this year ten Swedes, the first in the country, settled on the Smoky river. In March of the next year John F. Hughes, J. M. Claypool and H. Weber settled on the Smoky. In the fall of this year the Pawnee Indians made a raid on the county with disastrous results. Later the Osages made a raid on the county. In this year also the Swedish col onies of Marquette and Lindsborg were founded. On August 11. 1S69, was born Andrew Brown, son of William Brown of Sharps creek, the first white child born in this county. In September Louis Stephenson was born. The second woman in the county was Mrs.J.G. Maxwell. McPherson was regularly organized as a county on March 23, 1870, with 738 inhabitants, and the county seat at Swedal, which was a mile and a half southwest of Lindsborg. Among the first political leaders of the county were D, H. Page, Solomon Ste phens, John F. Hughes, J. G. Maxwell. In June. 1872, this city was surveyed. In 1S73 the first Mennonite settlement was made in the southern part of the county, and in February a colony from Ashland, Ky., located three miles east of McPher son. These events may be said to close the early history of the county, as from this time settlers began pouring In very fast and the larg-e stretches of prairie land i was soon converted into fertile farms. I The growth of the county, while some j mav think has been slow, has been ex- i ceedingly fast. In thirty-five years it has j grown to be one ot men ncnest ana most t;roe-ressive counties in the state. As an agricultural county it has no equal.

Chicago Musicians Take Measures to teuuee tne output. Chicago, March 24. An overpro duction of music is believed by the Chicago Federation of Musicians to be threatening Chicago. Consequently the union purposes to relieve the situa tion: by establishing a "limitation of output." Let each union musician agree to furnish so much music and no more," said an official of the federation. On this basis the scheme is now being formulated. President T. F. Kennedy of the Mu sicians' union has prepared a list of all theaters and concert and dance halls in the city, together with the seating capacity and size of each. The next step will be to establish a mimimum sized orchestra or band which will be j j f3l ill fPl i! 1 1 1 1 "Majestic" "Radcliffe" $3.00 and $2.50 Shoes, $1.29 Shoes and Oxfords Heavy and Light soles the Newest Spring styles.

It will be possible under such a plan to furnish only a modicum of grand opera or ragtime to an audience of 500 persons. For 1,000 persons the amount will be doubled, and the ratio will be maintained Indefinitely. Officials of the federation explained that it was a defensive move. "Managers have been reducing the size of orchestras and bands until wa have been forced to seek protection," they said. "Three or four players were expected to make themselves heard in a hall seating 2,000 or 3,000 persons. The musicians always re ceived the blame if they did not suc ceed."

Politicians Would Hare His Ser rice End With Senator. n E IS RELUCTANT. Says That He Isn't a Candidate for the Nomination. Satisfied With the Record He Has Made. A movement has been started to re dominate D. J. Hanna for a third term is lieutenant governor. A number of different persons are anxious to have the present lieutenant governor take the place for another term, but they are receiving no encouragement from Mr. 1? anna. Various reasons are urged upon Lieu tenant Governor Hanna why he should run again. A considerable number of senators say that the terms of the lieu tenant governor should cover the same time as the term of a given set of sen ators. In the past each senate has changed lieutenant governors in the middle of the senatorial terms. It has teen customary to give- state officers two terms, or four years, which is the length of the senatorial term. Hereto fore the change in state officers has come in the middle of the terms of the etate senators. For Instance, Harry Ktchter came into office in 1S38 In the middle of the terms of the Populist sen ate elected in 1S96. He had to preside vr a Populist state senate in 1899 and In 1901 a new Republican senate came In. He arranged the committees as he wanted them, and then Lieutenant Gov ernor Hanna came in in 1903. The sen ators did not want the committees dis turbed, so Mr. Hanna had nothing to say about the make-up of the commit tees In the first senate he presided over. This 1: st winter a new senate came in and Lieutenant Governor Hanna ar ranged the committees according to his ideas, and now this batch of senators io not want any disturbance next year. Consequently they want Mr. Hanna to run again. This, they argue, will straighten out the terms and make them come together. The senators are unanimous, too, in their praise of Lieu tenant Governor Hanna as a presiding Officer. Mr. Hanna, however, is giving no en couragement to his third term boom. When asked about it he said: "It is true that I have been approach ed on this matter both by some of my Iriends in the senate, and some others also. In fact, I have been surprised at some of the men who have asked me to run again. But I see.no reason why 3 should do so. There is, nothing in a financial way to be gained and I think I have all the honor out of the position there is. I am fairly well satisfied with the record I have made during my two terms and I don't see any reason why. I should want it again. Therefore I am not a candidate and I do not intend to be one." Mr. Hanna -is doubtless sincere in what he says. Sometimes politicians talk one way when they mean some thing else, but Mr. Hanna was sincere in saying that the office has no further attractions for him. At the same time if he should be tendered the nomination by the next state convention and his friends should urge it on him it is like ly that he would find it hard to refuse It.

CODY Buffalo Rill Is Denied a Divorce and Roasted by the Court. Khprirtnn Wvn. March 24 The district court here refused the petition of Colonel William F. Cody (Buffalo Bill) for a di vorce. A derision in the case was not expected so soon. The court room was filled with residents of Sheridan county and the sur rounding country when it was given. Af ter the reading or tne depositions was mi ished the attorneys for both sides an nounced that they would submit the case without argument. After a short recess Judge R. H. Scott asked the attorneys for the defendant, Wilcox Haligan, of North Platte. Neb., to amend their answer In the case by striking out those sections which dealt with charges against Bessie Isbell, Cody's conduct in Chicago and his early excesses at Fort McPherson. When this was done the court found entirely in favor of the defendant. Mrs. Louisa Cody. Jutlge Scott delivered an opinion of con siderable length reviewing the allegations and evidence and giving his conclusions. "The law of the state does not make incompatibility a ground for divorce, but it does read that extreme cruelty, render ing th condition of either party to the marriage contract intolerable. Is sufficient ground to allow the granting of a- di vorce," said Judge Scott. "The first cause of action in this case is the charge of poisoning on December 26, It), or some time prior thereto. The ev idence wholly fails to support this issue, but shows the defencant was trying lo rescue the plaintiff from a etate of intox ication, and administered, not poison, but remedies v.-hicn ohe deemed beneficial to him. His inability to speak on this occa sion did not come from those rt medies, hut came from his excessive use of intox icating liquors at the banquet board, and was as humiliating to the defendant as to the plaintiff. "The unhappiness caused by the actions of the plaintiff is shown by the letter of their daughter, Arta Thorpe, whose beau tiful character shone out from her unhap py home and the words of her letter writ ten just before her death: 'Oh, papa, why did he do it? My heart is just broken over it. Oh,-why did he do it?' Judge Scott also found that the charge of unbecoming actions on the part of the defendant toward the colonel's guests was not proven: that there was no evidence that she had ever threatened her husband's life, and thnt, when atterdlng the funeral of h.er daughter. Artar at Rochester, N. Y., in February, 1904, she offered a permanent reconciliation and no answer ever came to this. 'She was an over-indulgent mother and wife, who always took pride in his success and always looked forward to his home coming and made great preparations to re ceive him," said Judge Scott. "She enter tained guests with cordiality. She did not use profane language. The poisoning of his pet dogs was accidental. She never spoke disrespectfully of him to his friends or guests. She always accompanied him to the depot on his departures and was there to receive him on his returns. In her home she has a large statue of him in the hall; In her bedroom she has his portrait done by a famous painter on her stand and she has his photograph and the dishes she used were souvenir ones stamped or etch ed with his rortrait. Such, in brief, is the character ajid conduct of Mrs. Cody, ex tending over a long period of her married life. "In return for this wifely devotion the plaintiff has been cruel to her and heaped indignities upon her. Even if it was true that the defendant had at times been Im patient witn him and such impatience has been considered as indignities, it is also true that she has had much to contend with. There are some allegations in the answer thnt are not sustained by the evi dence. From the evidence it does not ap pear that the plaintiff was so addicted to gambling as to impair his business abili ties r trustworthiness. He did not use intoxicating liquors In such quantities as to interfere with the transaction of his business." An exception to the ruling of the court was noted by Judge K. S. Kidglev, attor ney for Colonel Cody, and his request for sixty days for filing a petition for a re hearing was granted. The motion for a new trial will be ar gued at the next term of ccurt and' in case this is denied Cody's attorneys will take the matter to the supreme court of Wyoming. Wreck on the Frisco. Memphis.

For This Reason Bettie Williamson Asks That She Be Divorced. lola, Kas., March 24. Bettie Wil liamson has filed suit in the district court asking that she be divorced from' her husband, Kenneth William son; that she be granted $35 per month alimony; be given the custody of their two minor children and their minor ward, and that she be given their real estate and furniture, to gether with a residence on North State street. She sets forth in her petition that she and the defendant were married at Pittsburg, Kas., on May 4, 18 87, and that they have since lived to gether as husband and wife. Of their union two children were born Charles, aged 17, and Arthur, aged 12. There is also living with them an adopted son, Orville, aged 9. She alleges that shortly after they were married the defendant informed her that she was a mere chattel, the same as any of his property, and as such was compelled to do as he said. He has since acted in this manner toward her. During the summer of 1904, according to her allegation, he became enamoured of Minnie Poling, now Minnie Cummings. the daughter of the plaintiff by a former marriage. He made improper advances to her. She rejected and scorned his pro posals, whereupon he informed her that inasmuch as her mother, the plaintiff in this suit, was his chattel, the daughter was also and that he had a right consequently to do with her as he wished.

WIIITEMAX ACQUITTED. Former Minnesota Legislator I'ound Not Guilty at Buffalo. Buffalo, N. Y., March 24. Alonzo J. Whiteman. of Dansville, N. Y., a former member of the Minnesota legislature, has been acquitted on a charge of grand inv. There still are five -indictments against Whiteman on charges of grand larceny, forgery and attempted larceny. All of these charges are based on the transaction involved in the trial just ended. It is charged that Whiteman secured $2,000 on an alleged fraudulent draft for $9,000 deposited with the Fi del it v Trust company, of Buffalo. Jos eph Boothman. an Englishman, who is under indictment in connection with the same transaction was the principal wit ness for the prosecution. The defense sought to prove an alibi for Whiteman and called witnesses to establish the fact that the draft was indorsed by Koothman and that the money was withdrawn from the bank by a third party. Whiteman related on the stand a story of alleged persecution by a pri vate detective agency. RAVAGES OF PLAGUE. Secretary of State for India Starts In vestigation of Disease. London, March 24.

STOCKS Wide advances were shown by opening prices, which were well scattered through the railroad list and industrial lists. Un ion Pacific rose an extreme point on the transfer of 6,000 shares and there were gains of a point in Atchison, Ontario and Western, Locomotive, Car and Colorado Fuel. Northwestern rose 24 points and Metropolitan Street Railway 1 points. New York Central, Reading, Rock Island, Southern Pacific. Metropolitan Securities and Ixiad showed large fractional gains. Individual influences played but little Dart in the wsve of bullish enthusiasm that swept over the market between 10 and 11 o'clock. .This was substantially reflected in numerous advances of a point or more, including representative stocks of all degrees. Purchases seemed urgent at times in stocks which have recently been bear targets, notably: Union Pacific, New York Central and Readlnsr. The vio lence of the rise invited the usual realizing sales, but these made but little impression on prices. Among the substantial gains recorded after the opening rise were Northwestern 5 points, Lead 3 points, Met ropolitan Street Railway 2 points and New York Central, Atlantic Coast Line and People's Gas 1 to 1 points. Chica go Terminal exceptionally ran off a point and Knickerbocker Ice 2 points. Prices sourted aKain after a set back of a fraction, but the demand ran more to special stocks. New York central was carried up lt-s points. a-nd Union Pacific l5 points. Lead was lifted feverishly 4 points and the preferred 4',$ points, famelt ine: advanced 4 points and Pullman 25 points. There were gains of lVz points to 2 points in the Gould group, Illinois cen tral. Cleveland, C, C. and St. Louis.Pitts burg. C, C. and St. Louis, Colorado Fuel, General Electric, Corn Products prefer red and Sloss-Shrffield Steel. Lead and Smelting fell back between 1 and 2 points and the advance was checked f,ent-rslly. Prices yielded and trading fell into dull ness. Bonds were firm at noon. Prices of the more important stocks showed little alteration as a result of the noon day trading. Pennsylvania and Amalgamated Copper got a fraction high er than in the morning and Lead rallivxi again to about 44. Rubber Goods shot up nearly 4 points in a short time and a num ber of others of a simihir .speculative standing were also considerably higher. Colorado Fuel improved 5 points. Twin City Rapid Transit 3 points, Westinghouse Electric 2ti points, Tennessee Coal 2 points and Linseed 14 points. Kanawha and Michigan droppnd 2 points. Late purchases centerer largely in the specialties and although Rock Island, which has been a notable laggard for some time, suddenly went up 2 points, standard sthocks drooped and wore dull. An advance in the southern Iron group gave free play to the rumors regarding their combination, and the rise in Rubber Goods caused a similar inquiry for the United States Rubber stocks. Sloss-Shef-fleld Steel gained 4'i points, Tennessee Coal 3t points. Republic Steel preferred 3 points and the common and the United Stales Rubber stocks l's to 2V points.

Garbage Question in Topeka Won't Be Solved. Next to Water Supply the !5ost Troublesome. RYDER DISCUSSES IT. One of the Most Important City Problems. It Could Be JKade Venture. a Paying There is not a ringle member of the present city council, nor a single city official now in office, with the exception of Fire Marshal Wilmarth, who has been holding down his present place ever since Topeka had a fire department, who can remember a time when the city of Topeka "was not having trouble about the disposal of its garbage, dead animals and nightsoil. This problem was old and gray head ed when city ownership of waterworks was first talked of: it was a veteran of manjr wars in the council before the new city hall and Auditorium was thought of; it has been "settled" re peatedly, and yet, like the ghosts of Banquo, McGlnty, and other Shakes pearean characters, it continues to rise up and haunt the council chamber. Last night the city council manifested a disposition to continue to Juggle with this important problem; either through accident or design, two members of the body who were supposed to be in favor of the proposition were absent. The re maining councllmen were equally divid ed, and the proposition tosubmit to the people at the coming election a proposi tion to vote $15,000 in bonds to build a city crematory, which will end the gar bage fuss forever, was defeated. By erecting a city crematory, at a cost of $15,000 or less, all the refuse of the ctty can be burned. How long will the city council continue to dodge and hedge whenever this important matter conies before It? At the same time the city is burning up its refuse, it is claimed that it will be getting all the income from the garbage industry which has in the past been going to private parties and com panies. Some assert positively, that the city crematory, under municipal con trol, will not only pay its own way, but that It will turn over a big surplus to CilYIfSG BABiS iTcmua sicms NO REST, no sleep.

If the city can build such a plant for $15,000, dispose of all garbage, dead ani mals and nightsoil in a sanitary man ner, and pay expenses, It ought to be satisfied. The rouble with the Hap good company, the Thompson company, the Topeka Desiccating company and ail the other companies which have tried to handle the garbage proD lei in Topeka is that they have, either through lack of ability, inclina tion or funds to properly equip their plants, failed to dispose of garbage in a sanitary manner. They have skinned the dead animals and dumped the car casses into the river: they have pilnd up huge dumps of nightsoil to pollute under the summer sun whive have be come stench-hole3. unendurable in any civilized community. The city can not go on In this way. It is becoming every day a greater menace to life and health. Topeka is getting too big to handle its garbage problem on the village plan; it is a big problem; a serious problem, and ap parently, a problem which will never be settled right until the city itself takes hold of it. Unless a city keeps itself clean, it must prepare to face epidemics, disease and doctors' bills. What Dr. Ryder Says. Dr. L. A. Ryder, chairman of the com mittee on health and sanitation of the city council, and one of- the leading medical men of the city, says this: "Topeka has struggled in vain to find some way out cf this garbage problem; we have been wrestling with it for years. I believe that the garbage of the city will never be properly taken care of until the city itself builds and op erates a crematory of sufficient -capacity to do the work which is here to be done. "For $15,000 we can build such a crem atory; I believe that this .sum will also purchase a complete outfit Of barrels in which to carry the garbage and night soil. I do not think we should attempt to buy wagons and horses; we can bet ter afford to hire these, as we now hire for the street force. "The present rates for cleaning vaults can be reduced. A property owner will know that he is paying only for the service which he receives. Those who have occasion to take care of a good many houses knew the difficulties which are constantly coming up under the present system. The garbage com pany sends In a bill for so many yards of night soil, and the owner of the property can't find out to save his life how bo many cubic yards could have come out of the place they are repre sented to have been taken from. The rates are excessive, and the company very often does work without notifying the owner or occupant of the property that it is going to do any work. Peo ple are getting tired of this way of do ing business. "As to the question of collecting and disposing of garbage by the can sys tem, that is something for the city to lO j' MOST !'-(iNSr10RE j 5Q S 1A HAY'S 1 k&otm You Lomsing Young AI-W'ATS restores yontfcral color tn grav or fmifd liair.

It is a very good sys tem, and can no doub be made self sustaining. The city council at one time agreed to a franchise which gave a company the right to establish the can system, under which every resident of the city would pay a Small fee for having his garbage hauled away, and a new, clean can left in its place. "A business man down on Kansas avenue told me the other day that a good deal of waste paper accumulates in the rear of his store, and that he would gladly pay a dollar a week to have it hauled away at regular inter vals. "It would also remain to work out some system to compel a property own er to pay for the cleaning of his vault or other sanitary service. Perhaps one way to compel payment would be through a penalty for failure to have the' stuff moved. However, I feel that all these details could be satisfactorily adjusted." What It Would Cost. City Engineer McCabe submitted to the council his estimate on the cost of building the crematory. This estimate is not exact as to the cost of the crema tory itself. It has been put down at $6,002.89 merely because that was the amount left available out of J15.000 af ter the cost of erecting the Building and chimney is paid. It is probable that the crematory will not cost over $5,000, and this would .leave the city with over $1,000 on hand to spend for the purchase of a good supply of tools, barrels and fuel. Mr. McCabe's estimate 4s as follows: Building Concrete foundation 180.00 Brick work 1,324.17 Caps and sills 97.74 Concrete floor 312.00 Steel I beams 395.46 Roof 300.00 Steel shutters 160.00 Mill work 160.00 $2,929.37 Chimney Filing 576.00 Concrete foundation 210.00 Common brick work 3,725.78 Fire brick wprk 240.00 $4,764.78 30.00 3S.92 572.74 498.00 120.

Every city must face the disposal of five classes of waste, differing: wide ly in character and constituency: First Ashes, cinders and street sweepings, which are entirely inoffen sive and need only be disposed of as a filler, which can usually be done at 1 a profit. Second Trash and combustible waste, containing more or less filth, j Third Garbage, including: all i kitchen and market offal, composed j largely of organic matter and subject to rapid putrefaction. i Fourth Dead animals, condemned I meats, fish, poultry, etc. I Fifth Nightsoil, from vaults and sinks outside the sewered districts, highly contaminated and a breeder I of zymotic diseases. I N'o systematic effort has ever been made in the city of Topeka to dispose of the first three classes of refuse, ex cept street sweeping, which are used, as suRjrested above, as a filler. Other wise every householder has been obiiired to look out for himself. The fourth and firth classes of refuse hav-3 been, at various times, handled in three different ways first, by dumping into the river or at a "city dump" some distance from town: second, by a desiccating plant; third, by a crematory- The river aod the city dump were J 6I3-6SS HANS AYC DAY 'EC IS OUR i ANNEX are not restricted to any special or Quantity in these special fhflTT will ci-!

Crematories have shown them selves to be the least expensive, and most practical manner of getting rid of city refuse. It is effective and san itary. It is the method adopted by the United States government in Cuba, Porto Rico, the Philippines, and a large number of army posts. It was in use at the Stt Louis exposition grounds. Hundreds of cities through the United States have the same system. For cremating garbage It is esti mated that the outlay per ton is as follows: Bituminous coal, 125 pounds; coke, for the. stench cremator, 15 pounds; common labor, one hour. For cremating nightsoil the expense is somewhat higher. The garbage company now doing the work in Topeka has no franchise and is simply existing by suffrance. It charges 4 0 cents per barrel or four cubic feet for hauling nightsoil and piping it out into the river. No effort is made to cremate this part of the refuse. Dead animals are burned at so much per head, and the company also gets $50 per month from the city for hauling away manure from the city stables and burning dead animals which have no owners. Under a pro posed new franchise for this company the city was to pay $100 a month for the stable and dead animal work, and the company was to handle nothing but garbage and dead animals, reav ing the nightsoil proposition, which is by far the hardest part of the work, for the city to continue to wrestle with. If the city does not vote bonds for the city crematory, what will it do? That is a question which has. not been satisfactorily answered. The council should at least have given the people a chance.

CURES WITHOUT STOMACH DOSING Ilyomei Cures Catarrh by Simple Breathing Rowley Snow Re fund Money It It Falls to Cure. A long- stride toward solving the mystery of curing catarrh was taken with the discovery of Hyomei. In fact, the percentage of cures by this treatment proves It equal to the final tests. The folly of taking medicine into the stomach to cure catarrh of the nose, throat and lungs, has been real ized by physicians, but not until Hyomei was known, had they a prac tical method that would obviate stom ach drugging.

Will Ignore the Law Passed by Legislature. MR. SPENCER'S ADVICE. Hadn't Time to Investigate New Measure. Kutz, Kice, Howe, Skinner and Hughes Defeat It. The city council refused last night to call an election to allow the people to vote upon the management of the wa terworks plant as provided for by the bill passed by the late legislature. In other words the council refused to take the management of the plant out of politics. The following section of the law was primarily responsible: "Section 7. No extensions to said plant or plants shall be made by any board of commissioners until there shall be applications made for and agree ments signed by persons along the pro posed extension in sufficient number so that the revenue from said proposed ex tension will in the judgment o said board be ample to justify making such extension, nor shall any extensions, mains or lines be constructed by said board for political reasons or on account of any combination between such board and any other city official, and should such board extend any mains or lines for political reasons or by entering into a combination with any other city offi cial to do so, or shall refuse to extend such mains or lines when it is shown that the same will be profitable to said plant or plants, for such offense said board shall be removed from oftice; "provided, that the provisions of this act shall not apply to any city until sub mitted to a vote of the people and re ceive a majority of all the votes cast at such election." The action was precipitated by the city attorney who advised against action on the spur of the moment. The city attor ney stated that as far as he could see the new law provided for no further powers beyond those already granted under the city charter act and further upheld by the supreme court of this state which has held that the city has the right to purchase a waterworks property and in consequence, to man age it. The city attorney stated that he had not the time to look Into the law. That he had just returned, that the law was only published, last week. Friday, and he had only returned to the city Wednesday and had in conse quence only two days to examine it in detail. In actual point of time however the city attorney is wrong. Though the law was not published until the time and did not go into legal effect until last week the law was available several weeks since and could have been se cured by him. Enough time has elapsed in the Interim for him to have examin ed into the law and its relationship with the privileges granted by the city charter act. From a mere standpoint of techni cality this probably would. not be jus tified but from a common sense stand point it would have been. There was every reason to suppose that the mere effect of -publishment would not alter the reading or body of the law as passed. When asked on the part or the council with reference to his advice to the council the city at torney said, "If I was a member of the city council it would be a very serious question with me whether I would consider It advisable to submit this ordinance for a vote by the people at the present time. I seriously question whether the new law providing for the management and control of the waterworks grants you more power than is already granted you by tne city charter act. It is true it takes it more largely out of politics and makes civil service more of an established reality. Under your proposed Howe ordinance for the management of the plant you appoint a board of com missioners who have supreme control but vou have no right under the statutes of the state, if you don't adopt the new law, to appoint the board of trustees or commissioners for a longer term than two years. Nor has the board the right to appoint the em ployes for a longer time than the' same duration. There are a number of things in this law which would hamper the city in its management of the plant. I consider it very ques tionable whether you gain anything under this law. Under your general powers it looks to me as if you had all the powers and privileges that you now need." Councilman Howe, who called the attention of the council to the section of the law which caused the hitch, said: "I certainly believe that exten- v. 1 1 1 i T- maila QTirl nnnlp on the outskirts of the town who have been paying for the past 15 years should receive some of the benefits for which they have been paying. There is going to be some trouble when the people,find out that they are not going to receive fire protection from the city which they had a right to expect when the plant would come under city management. I would like to have the opinion of the city attorney on this matter." Spencer then stated his opinion upon section 7, printed above claiming that it was ambiguous in its specifica tions. Councilman Green arose in defense of the section and stated that he consider ed it a very wise provision. Councilman Swendson: "I would like to ask the city attorney if the city can tax the property owners for hydrant rentals for city purposes." City Attorney Spencer: "I very seri ously question whether such a tax can be placed. I am of the opinion that it cannot." Councilman Ryder urged the mem bers of the council to go slowly and dea fer action until the city attorney and the remainder of the council had locked into the law carefully. "I am of the opinion," said he, "that you will find a number of complications present them selves a few weeks later which you had never dreamed of before. I believe we should go along slowly." This sentiment appeared to be in the majority and carried by a vote of 5 to 5, the motion to pass the ordinance los ing. Aves: Griley, Green, Nellis, Swend son and Nlel; nays: Kutz, Rice, Howe, Shimer and Hughes. It is evidently the intention of the city council to operate under the Howe or dinance until they decide it is advis otiio to nut the matter to a vote. This plan of "management will probably be in operation for the next three or four Following this the council adjourned to a committee of the wnoie to act upm the Howe ordinance which the previous sessions of the committee had not final ly acted ueoh.

The fiscal 3'ear is to end with April 1 instead of January 1 as first provided.

The com mittee then adjournecf and the recom mendation of the committee was adopt ed by the city council. At the next meeting of the council April 3 the ordinance will be passed.

Last winter, as a result of Icy sidewalks on the south side of Kan Bag avenue near its junction with Sixth avenue, Mrs. Addie M. Clark, widow, re dding; at 529 Tyler street, slipped and broke her arm. She claims that the in juries are permanent in, their nature and asks the city for $1,500 damages. Jn relating- the circumstances sur rounding her accident Mrs. Clark states that she was returning homeward on January 2S, 1905, from the Mills Dry Goods company where she was employ ed. The accident happened at 9:30 in the eening. She claims that she is practically totally disabled and has been confined to her home ever since. The damasres are asked for on the fol lowing counts: Loss of time, $200; medi cal attendance, $50; physical pain and BufTerinR, $750: permanent injury, $500; total, $1,500. The matter has been re ferred to the judiciary committee of the council. The property owners on the east side of Taylor street, between Huntoon and Twelfth streets, believe they have a grievance. They claim that an inequi table apportionment of the cost be- A GOOD DEAL OF NONSENSE About "Blood Purifiers'' and "Tonics." Every drop of blood, every bone, Xierve and tissue in the body can be renewed in but one way, and that is, from wholesome food properly digest ed. There is no other way and the idea that a medicine in itself can purity the blood or supply new tissues and Etrong nerves is ridiculous and on a par with the fol-de-rol that dyspepsia or indigestion is a germ disease, or that other fallacy, that a weak stom ach which refuses to digest food can be made to do so by irritating and in flaming the bowels by pills and ca thartics. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cure in digestion, sour stomach, gas and bloat ing after meals, because they furnish the digestive principles which weak stomachs lack. and. unless the de ficiency of pepsin and diastase is sup plied, it is useless to attempt to cure stomach trouble by the use of "'tonics.'' "pills" and "cathartic." which have absolutely no digestive poo er, and their only effect is to give a temporary stimulation. One grain of the active principle in f tuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest .000 grains of meat, eggs and similar foods, and experiments have shown that they will do this in a glass bottle et the proper temperature, but of course are much more effective in t!i Stomach. There Is probably no remedy so universally used as Stuart's Tablets, because it is not only the sick and ailing, but well people who use them at every meal to insure perfect digestion and assimilation of food. People who enjoy fair health take Stuait's Tablets as regularly as they take their meals, because they want to k-er .vet:, i evnti.m is be'tr Man cu-e, ar..

They state that there is an apparent discre pancy between the recorded plat and the territory as actually embraced in Holliday park and believe that the ap praisers failed to include in their ap praisement all the city's property lying on the west side of Taylor street, be tween Huntoon and Twelfth. The coun cil has been asked to inquire into the complaint. The committee on judiciary will investigate. T. M. James and L. A. James offer to sell to the city for park purposes the grove of timber known as West park and lying between the center of Kansas avenue and the center of Central ave nue in North Topeka. The tract con tains about 15 acres and is valued at $2,500. Payment can be made in install ments to suit the city with interest at 4 per cent on the principal. The mat ter was referred to the committee on ways and means. The communication of the -city engi neer with reference to the condition of the river channel under the extension of the Melan bridge was referred to the city attorney. The small boy will read this item with a swelling of indignant muscles and ris ing wrath. The city council is going to resurrect a forgotten ordinance with regard to firing cannon firecrackers on the Fourth of July. Colonel Hughes, who is a military man and whom you would think would greatly delight in noise of a firing nature was instrumen tal in waking up the council to the fact that it had never really passed such a measure. The colonel says that fire crackers and such things are injurious to human life and yet officio the gen tleman from the Sixth ward is pledged to see to it that the belligerent military spirit of the state is kept intact. Will the adjutant general kindly explain. In the meantime the council will resur rect that ordinance. A resolution was introduced asking the city attorney to prepare an ordi nance calling for the renaming of cer tain streets in the vicinity of Wash burn. The matter was turned over to the streets and walks committee. The streets in question are Piercy street and Walnut street to be changed to Fifteenth street, Williston avenue to West street, Fifteenth street west of Buchannan street to be changed to Sixteenth street. The Missouri Pacific tracks on Hol liday street are for investigation again with reference to their proper' location. It is claimed that they trespass on other property, and are not in the center of the alley. Streets and walks committee will consider the matter. The placing of culverts on Saywell and Kious streets was referred to the city engineer for action. A petition for an electric light to be placed on Euclid avenue and the A. T. S. F. tracks and Missouri Pacific tracks was rferred to the electric light committee. The compromise offered by C A. Magaw, attorney for the signers of the bond of Tony Kirsch, absconding jointist, was turned down by the judi ciary committee and their action was backed up by the city council. Magaw threatens to bring suit In the supreme court to set aside the judgment ren dered in the police court. The bond is for $300. The petition for a sidewalk on both sides of Kansas avenue from end of present walk to the new bridge over the Shunganunga was referred to the streets and walks committee. H. S. McKeever and F. K. Barnes were granted a 20 year franchise to place metal waste paper boxes on the streets of the city. The city granted the priv ilege for the sum of $100 yearly, a sum entirely too low when the amount of revenue which can be secured from ad-' vertising placed on the boxes is consid ered. The amount should have been at least doubled. The resolution changing the location of the Kansas avenue bridge over the Shunganunga a little to the north was passed. This has to do with the new bridge which will be erected there. The following bonds were approved by the council. In each instance they are those of contractors: Webster Tul loch. $6,316.50; Haskins Ramsey, $1. S52.56; Hanley Ritchie, $31,213.88; Hanley FJtchie, $79,801.61. Big Ice Houses Bum. Chicago, March 24 Nearly 150,000 tons of ice and two buildings, each 250 by 500 feet, have been lost by fire at 134th street and Lake Calumet. The big storage houses held the winter's cut of the lake. Before the first fire company arrived the buildings, valued at $86,000 were destroyed, and most of the con tents, valued at $60,000. had slid back into the lake from which it was taken during the winter. The buildings were the property of Swift Co. The origin of the fire is unknown. Green or Black AS SERVED AT THE WORLD'S FA1 FOIi SALE BY J. P. Cole, Fraser Bros. Dreisbach Wallace. J. B.

One Woman Bead and Another Still Vn conscious. New York, March 24. One of the most remarkable cases in the ex perience of the doctors of the Presby terian hospital in this city ended to day in the death of Miss Luela Heustis of Mount Vernon, who, with her mother, Mrs. James H. Heustis, had been in a trance for 15 days prior to her death. More than two weeks ago both of the women were found un conscious in the room of Henry W. Heifer, a lawyer of this city, and were supposed to have been asphyxiated by gas. Neither had since recovered con sciousness and physicians and hyp notists were puzzled by their unac countable coma. Miss Heustis was an attractive young woman, aged 22 years. Lack of nourishment was the principal cause of her death as it had been im possible to give her food except in liquid form and through a tube. Stim ulants and oxygen were administered without effect. A singular fact is that the young woman's mother, who lay in an ad joining room, began to show signs of the approach of death soon after the death of her daughter. Like her daughter the mother also is greatly emaciated and the physicians at the hospital say that her low vitality is due principally to starvation. One specialist in hypnotism and psychology, who investigated the case has made public his conclusion that the two women had unconsciously hypnotized each other and that gas asphvxiation had nothing to do with the case. He explained that he had himself been hypnotized while hyp notizing a patient and had only been awakened by the arousing of the sub- J'ect- The case of the two women has at tracted the attention of scientists all over the country.

Atchison, Kan., March 24. .Atchi son didn't get the big general shops of the Missouri Pacific system, for which it made the company a most liberal offer, but it is to get greatly enlarged repair shops. In order to extend the present Atchison yards to facilitate the handling of long freight trains, and greatly increased traffic, the Missouri Pacific will move its present round house and repair shops a mile west of the present location. They will be placed on a sixty-acre plat of ground, which the late Jay Gould purchased for Missouri Pacific shop purposes in 18S5. The new buildings will be three times -the size of the present ones, which were built for the old Atchison Pike's Peak road, over forty years a;o. This road afterwards became the "Central Branch railway, now owned and operated by the Mis souri Pacific. New Tork, March 24. Plans are rap- I idly maturing for the establishment here of a school of music endowed by James Loeb, the banker, in memory of his mother. The fund to be furnished by Mr. Loeb will be $500,000 on which the donor guarantees an income of five per cent. Another gift has been an nounced of $4,000 annually for ten years and the trustees have decided to invite further subscriptions" to a guarantee fund of $25,000 for three years, to be called in case of a deficit. A complete library of music and musical literature has been donated ari" Frank Damrosch, the conductor and teacher, will act as director of the school. Members of the Kneizel quar tette will remove to this city from Bos ton and all the members will take charge of departments. Negotiations are now pending with distinguished teachers for composition, singing and piano playing. Director Damrosch will go to Europe shortly to continue these negotiations, though it is possible Americans may ul timately be chosen. The school will be opened next October. MANAGER MISSING.

A Few Things With Moral Tails to Them. THE TRAMP AND THE BULL. One dav a? a Tramp was passing along the h'ghway he came to a field where a Bull was peacefully feeding-, and, taking a seat on the top rail of the fence, the man of many tours mused: "Somewhere I have read or heaiu that the sight of red excites a Bull. Why it should do so is a puzzle to rne. Whv don't yaller or green have the same effect? It may be. however, that I am all wrong, and that red aont have the effect I have heard. I think I will approach him with this old red bandana and settle the case." A minute later the Tramp was ap proaching the Bull with the handker chief waving- In his hand, and a min ute after that the Bull had his head down and tail up and was coming on like a wild locomotive. The Tramp turned and fled for the fence, but he was not vet in safety when the Bull picked him up and tossed him over in the road. He lay there for half an hour, free of the sorrows and trou bles of this world, and had just open ed his eyes when a Traveler came along and halted to exclaim: With the Handkerchief Waving in His Hand." "Now, then, hath a robber been getting in his work on this poor vic tim?" "It was -was the old Bull!" whis pered the Tramp in reply. "What didst the old Bull?" "Hinted me over the fence." "For what reason?" "Because I waved my red bandana at him." "But hadst never hoard that red would provoke a Bull to anger?" I hadst, O Traveler, but I didn't know whether to believe in the yarn or not; and so I tried it for myself." Moral: "Weary William," said the Traveler, as he shook his head and prepared to resume his journey. "there are some things that even the Sage does not know, but which no man of sense is going to experiment with at his own cost. 'Tis said that while red excites a Bull to antrer. vio let calms him down, but when you see Horatio launders shaking violet at an old Hull to see what effect it has on hts temper, you may claim kinship on the ground that we are both fools: THE ASS AXD HIS LOAD. One time a Peasant who was driv ing an Ass to a cart to gather fuel for the winter loaded the cart so higii with limbs that on coming to the foot of a steep hill the Ass found himself utterly unable to advance further. He was being beaten for his failure when a merciful Traveler came along and cried out: "What would you! Can't vou see that the load is too much "for the beast?" "It may be true." replied the Peps ant, "though I thought he was shirk ing his work. AVhat shall I do?" "Do? Do? Why. the only thing to do Is to unload part of the faggots and carry them to the top of the hill." The Peasant set about the job, and after an hour's extra, labor he had the cart loaded again. The Ass went along at a good pace for ha-lf a mile, bul then as he came to a steep descent he stood still. "You see how it is." explained the merciful Traveler, who had followed on. "Back there the hill was too eteep for the beast to drag the load up; here it is too steep for him u descend with such a load behind him." ".And what shall I do now?" "You must unload part of the fag- pots and carry them to the foot of me nm." This was done at a loss of much time and a great deal of grumbling, and by and by the Ass was ready to IHoissa Cleaning NEED SOA1E OF THESE ITEMS IN COMPLETING SOME ROOM.

He had been switching his long ears about and putting two and two together, however, and he had not drawn the load along the level road more than ten yards when he came to a full stop for the third time. "Well, what have you tosay now demanded the Peasant of the Trav eler. "Only this," was the reply, after a careful inspection of load, harness and Ass, "if this thing keeps on the Ass will soon expect you to draw the cart, the load and him on top of it. There fore, put on the gad and run him Pil the rest of the way home." Moral: There is such a thing as making too much of a good thing. THE WOLF AXD THE RAM. One day the Wolf made up his mind that lamb chops would be about his size for dinner, and after doing up the breakfast dishes and making up his bed he set out in gay spirits to visit a flock of sheep and select his lambkin. He found, as he had hoped, that the shepherd was temporarily absent, but greatly to his chagrin he also discovered that the old Ram who guarded the flock had had his horns ornamented with sharp, steel tips and was alert and vigilant. The Wolf, therefore, decided to try strategy, and, approaching the Ram, he said: "My dear old friend. I am glad to havg found you without trouble. The Peasant who is chopping wood in the forest wants to see you for a few minutes. I will take your place while you are gone." "Thanks muchly," replied the Ram; "but I happen to have a sore foot today and cannot go so far. Might I depend upon you to bring the Peas ant here?" "Oh. it's nothing of. great conse quence," answered the Wolf and try ing hard to smile over it. "I was told the other day that you had some very frisky lambs in your flock." "Well, they are not so bad." "And that some of them could out run any wolf in tho forest." "I shouldn't wonder." "I rather doubt that, begging your pardon. Cal up your best runner and I will race him to the brook and back." "They are all out of it today," re plied the Ram. "The fact is, they slept with their tails outdoors last night and got them soaked with dew. Come some other day and we'll see what can be done." "Sorry very sorry, Mr. Ram, but just as you say. If there is a lamb in the flock w ho'd like a drink of cold spring water I'd only be too glad to show him the spring down there be hind the bushes. I don't suppose any of you know of it?" "I think not. but you see we all had a drink of lemonade when we first got up this morning, and that will last the day out. You are more than kind." "Don't mention it. It is my nature to be kind and considerate to all, and to no one more than a lambkin. That re calls the fact that the blind woman living in the cottage by the roadside has promised to sing for one when ever I bring him over. If it should so harpen now that you have a young and innocent lamb in the flock who has never heard lhat dear old song of "Buf falo Grass.' I shall take the greatest pleasure in "I know my friend. I know." inter rupted the Ram. "and I can't begin to tell you how extremely obliged I am. Unfortunately for all the lambkins, however, the shepherd sewed up their ears last night, and tbey couldn't hear the dear old song you refer to. S'mother time, you know." v "See here," said the beaten Wolf, as he lost his patience, "I don't believe that you trust me." "Dear me, but how sad! In what do I seem to lack confidence?" "Why, you've got steel tips on your horns. If you trusted me as you should, you would at once remove them." "And on your part, you would have come here without a tooth in your head. You see The Wolf sprang in on him. hoping to make a surprise, but the Ram received him on the sharp points and wounded him so that he ran away howling griev ously. Moral: "Well. I heard it all," mused the goat from the roof of a nearby shed, "and it's my opinion that the Wolf won't have lamb chops for dinner, simply because he couldn't make the old Ram believe that huckleberries were ripe in April."

Defaulted Douglas County Bonds Dropped From Record. When the attention of the state auditor's department was called to the fact that the J100.000 of delinquent Lawrence bonds are not listed in the biennial report of the auditor for 1904, -as stated in the State Journal Thursday, an investigation was im mediately started to learn jwhy. The bonds were listed as delinquent in the auditor's report of 1902. and as no action had been taken concerning them, it was not apparent why they should have disappeared from the de linquent list. In making up the list of delinquent bonds the auditor's oflice simply takes those furnished it as delinquent by the treasurer's office. As soon as at tention was called to the matter Thursday, the bond clerk in the audi tor's office went to the treasury and asked to see the delinquent bonds again. The Lawrence bonds were not amrng them. Then Assistant Auditor Xation asked what had become of them. They were produced from an other place and were designated as "fraudulent." By what authority the treasurer's office had decided them "fraudulent" does not appear. No one has ever contended that they were fraudulent. The city of Lawrence has simply con tended that they are unjust and it asked the legislature to be relieved from paying an amount more than the original face of the bonds. TILDEN'S OLD HOME. It. Is to Ee Converted Into an Artists' Club. New York. March 24. The splendid mansion built by Governor Tilden in Twentieth street overlooking Gramercy park is soon to become the home of the National Artists' club. Negotiations with the Tilden heirs have just been concluded but the price paid them was not made public. The house is perfectly adapted to the use of the 1,300 artists holding member ship in the club. Governor Tilden de signed it with the idea of permanent occupation as a public library after his death. His own collection of 30,000 vol umes was to have formed the nucleus. A piece of vacant property on Nine teenth street also had been bought for the club and upon it will at once be built a 12 or 15 story steel frame studio building. As a private house, the Tilden man sion came nearer to warranting the ad jective palatial than any house of its lime in New York. Its owner was a liberal entertainer and in his spacious rooms some of the most important so cial gatherings and political confer ences of the period was held. It is still magnificent, and for club purposes is so well adapted that its new owners will not have to change a partition or make any important alterations. In its new home the club will have one of the most capacious and magnifi cent club houses occupied by any simi lar organization in the world.

It's a matter of economy. For Gowns, Skirts, Che mise, Drawers and Corset Covers much better than you will expect at 89c are included in this unex pected offering. Earh- comers will get the best U Ik choice. United States court officials, return ing today from Wichita, brought a grist of good storiesi about some interesting criminal eases which were tried there during the term just closed. One of the most remarkable cases was that of Samuel J. Kennedy, a former member of Roosevelt's Rough Riders, and holder of a congressional medal for bravery, who was sentenced by -Judge Pollock to serve 9V4 years in the peni tentiary for counterfeiting. "Sam Kennedy," says Deputy U. S. Marshal Frank Flenniken, "is probably the biggest liar that ever came into the state of Kansas." Kennedy is also a natural born bluff er, but -he tried to run a bluff on the United States officers which coat him an extra five years in prison. Kennedy was charged with passing two $10 coun terfeit bills in two disorderly houses at Wichita. Some time ago at Kansas City he was given a chance to plead guilty and take a light sentence of about five years. "No, indeed," said Kennedy, "I can prove that I'm innocent. I have got a lot of good evidence, and will produce it at the right time." So the case went over a couple of terms, and finally was called at Wichita during the past week. Four women who had been subpoenaed at. each of the former trials, were on hand from Hutchinson, where the "queer" was shoved into their possession, and gave strong testimony against Kennedy. When the time came for Kennedy to bring forth his defense, he said he didn't have anything to offer. He did not even go on the stand in his own behalf. After the judge had given him his 9Vi year sentence, Kennedy told the officers that the testimony of the four women was all true; that he had work ed the deal exactly as they represented. He confessed to having hau some tic-' complices, and the officers are now hunting for them. They do not have much confidence in this part of Ken nedy's confession, however. Kennedy is such an expert in the fak ing business that he can produce a fake hemorrhage whenever he wants to. He has done it several times when placed on the witness stand. He has served several terms in jail. Another choice lot of counterfeiters were Montgomery, Beaver and Stanton. Montgomery made counterfeit dollar.-5; Beaver and Stanton did the passing. The factory was in Wichita, but some of the money was passed in Hutchin son. Montgomery was given three years. Beaver SI, 000 fine and six months m jail, and Stanton, who is less than 21 years of age. was sentenced to the Reform school of the state of Missouri at Boonville. Bert Stewart and Aaron Spencer alro were on the list. Spencer told an inter esting tale about how he went wrong, and the number of bad things he had done during the four months prior to his arrest. The two men were charged with robbing the postoffice at White water, and cutting open a mail sack at Kainville. Stewart was given 2Vi years on each charge, the sentences to run at the same time. Spencer was sent to the Government Reform school in the Dis trict of Columbia. The Stewart-Spencer case is the one in which all the elements of dime novel realism entered. The Wrhitewater post office was provided with a set of burg lar alarms, connected with the homes of amout 100 members of the Anti Horsethief association of that locality. When the two men entered the building, they touched off the burglar alarms, and in a very short space of time, the whole town was on their trail. The Anti Horsethief association did business in good shape. It overtook the robbers, and a battle took place. The posse fired on the robbers, and the robbers returned the fire. Beth of the robbers were wounded, and had to surrender. The postmaster at Whitewater had a narrow escape. Stew art told the offirers that he had j held down gcod positions all his life until four months before the White- j water robbery, when he started in on a j career of cr'me. He confessed to six j postoffice robberies in the four months. -aXT TO BOTTOM. j er of non-Russian nationality, carry ing contraband of war, has been sunk by the Japanese, whereas the Russians sent to the bottom nine Japanese steamers and four small sailing ships. The minister states that no vessel was captured by the Russians who re sorted to sinking the enemy's craft. the Japanese sunk seventeen of their own ships for the purpose of blocking Port Arthur and captured twenty three Russian merchant ships. DOVER MAKES APPEAL Why the Suburban Railway Bonds Should Carry. People out at Dover are so much in terested in the coming city election here in Topeka that they are endeavoring to use "moral suasion" to induce the peo ple of the city to vote favorably on the proposed $30,000 bond issue for the pur pose of aiding the; construction of the road. Nearly all the towrrships in Shawnee county have voted bonds to aid in the construction of the road; the total amount of bonds already voted Is about $200,000. The Dover people therefore think that they have done about their share, and they have issued the follow ing statement to the people of Topeka: "To the Voters of the City of Topeka. "The people of Dover and vicinity are much interested in the Topeka Coun cil Grove Interujban railway, and earn estly desire the voters of Topeka to favorably consider the voting of bonds for the terminal of this road at Topeka on April 4. It will be a great help to the farmers and stockraisers in the ter ritory covered by this road, and can not fail to bring a large increase in busi ness to your city to say nothing of giv ing employment to a goodly number of new employes. A great deal of produce would be brought to Topeka which now goes to waste for want of proper trans portation. "The route of this line as now pro jected lies through a very prosperous farming region, but one which has no railroad facilities nearer than 10 or 12 miles, and such facilities extremely meager. The survey for the line has been made and the bonds voted along the Dover route, up the Mission creek valley, in every township where an elec tion has been held, and now totals in round numbers, $200,000. "Vote for the bonds. "KKSIPENTS OF DOVER AND VICINITY." It has been figured out that the value cf the improvements which the railroad will make within the city of Topeka will be about $200,000.

WITH CAT-O-XINe' TAILS. WILL BE ABOUT 13,000. That Is a Fair Kstimate of the Registration. It is nractically certain that the to tal registration for the city of Topeka will not exceed 13,000 tor tne eiecnon to be held on April 4. This is 3,000 short of a full registration. At noon today the total registration for the city was as follows: Men 8,200 Women 4,062 Total 12.262 It is not likely that over 700 people will register between noon and 10 o'clock this evening, when the books are finally closed. The Republican city central com mittee is considerably discouraged by the shortage in registration. The committee has hoped to bring the total up to 14,000. The Republicans claim, however, that with a registra tion of 13,000, Davis will be elected by over 2,00 0 majority. Today the Republicans have ten carriages at work hauling people to the commissioner of election's office, but the work is progressing slowly. There is a lack of interest, and there are only two wards in the city where the registration is anywhere near com plete. These wards are the First and Second. TOLD TO HURRY.

MacDonald make a great uproar and from the first stroke of th dreaded cat-o-nine-tails screamed horribly and had to be carried to his cell. The first few lashes seemed to have no appreciable effect on Sander cock, but he soon began to groan in a manner which 'made his punishment seem worse than that administered to MacDonald.

Mr. McCormick, the retiring am bassador to Russia, has received urgent instructions from Washington to proceed to Paris at the earliest pos sible moment. Whether the desire of the state department to have Mr. Mc Cormick assume his duties in Paris at once is due to the prosp'ect of an early opening of peace negotiations there or to the Venezuelan complica tions or to the wish of Ambassador Porter to depart sooner than expected is not known here. In order that there may be no hiatus here at such an important time, Ambassador Myer, Mr. McCormick's successor, will prob ably come to St. Petersburg imme diately. Requisition From Folk.
