THREE CENTS. diuilA Ft One Hundred Boilermakers in Topeka Walk Out. 2s o Differences About the Wage Schedule. ORDERED FOR 11 A. M. Company Heard and Issued Sev eral Discharges. 51 en Object to Doing Work From Western Divisions. Also Asked Santa Fe to Listen to Strikers. One hundred Santa Fe boilermakers, boilermaker helpers, riveters and handy men went out on a strike at 10: 3 (J this morning. The strike had been called for 11 o'clock, but the Santa Fe management had anticipated the hour and issued a number of dis charges at 10:30, and as soon as the men realized what was taking place they laid down" their tools and quit Work. There was no difficulty of any kind, end the whole incident occurred with out anything more marked than that which usually attends the quitting of work by a large body of men. The strikers quietly packed away their tools, picked up their dinner pails and j belongings, walked out of the gate j and home. A few loitered about on j the street, but most of them went! home in preparation for the dinner hour. j The boiler shop, and for that mat- j tor. the entire shops in Topeka, are: known as "open shops"; that is, there1 Is supposed to be no discrimination in j favor of union or nonunion men. There are about 150 employes in the! boiler shop, and of this number 100 j struck. Between 45 and 50 union j men, the entire number employed, i were included in the number, in addi-I tion to some 50 men who were not I connected with the union and who lor the most part represented the un- j skilled labor. I Technically the strike is a "sym- j pathy strike"; that is. there is no trouble between tiie management of j the road and the strikers over the mat- ler of hours or pay at this point. The I men here are involved in the troubles! which were brought about in the i strike of their fellow craftsmen on the; western divisions of the system. j The strike is a result of the refusal of the Santa Fe to accede to two re- quests which a grievance committee I from the local Boiler Makers' union No. 4 made. The requests are: that the Santa Fe management, should meet! the grievance committee representing j the boiler makers on the western end of j the Santa Fe system who are now out j on a strike and listen to their repre- mentations, and that the management j should discontinue sending in to the j Topeka shops repair work which is or- j dinarily cared for in the shops on the western divisions but which has bet-n pent here in part since the existence of the strike on that part of the sys tem. YVr-it On Mr. Fin-cell. The trouble has been smouldering for the past three months and finally leach ed its active stage on Monday after noon when a grievance committer- wait ed on John Purcell, superintendent of the shops at Topeka and asked him to make a reply to the requests made, lie was given 24 hours in which to make a reply. On Tuesday afternoon the com mittee representing the boiler makers i waited on Mr. Purcell for a reply. Mr. j Purcell asked for more time. A repeti- tion occurred on the following day when the committee asked for a return to their representations. On Thursday afternoon the committee appeared again for an answer. Super intendent Purcell met them and said: "I have nothing to say." Seeing that further effort was useless a meeting of the union was called for Thursday even ing. The boilermakers met with the other unions who hold their meetings on Thursday evening at the labor hall. 711 Kansas avenue. Following the regular business session the boilermakers got together and held a secret meeting at which it was decided to secure the nec essary authority from the grand lodge at Kansas City for calling the strike at 11 o'clock this morning. The answer came back this morning from Kansas City by wire. It is stated by the union men that the information leaked out through one of the operators who caught the message as it came through and notified the Santa Fe authorities in time for them to prepare the notification for the discharges. Xo Strike Says Purcell. Superintendent Purcell who was askd for a statement shortly after the strike went into effect this morning said: "There is no strike. We have simply laid off 35 of the men. Work is getting slack. There is no trouble at all." One of the prominent union men who has worked for the system for the past twenty years said: "Thev are trying to get us in the same shape lhat they have the machinists hpro The machinists were afraid to come oit for principle and sold them selves to the Santa Fe for its money. They simply have been trying to get lis in the same position and when they have fixed us they will do it to all the other departments in addition. I will sell my muscle, but I can't feei mat i can sen my principle also They have baen trying to introduce piece work. They don't call it piece work, they call it premium work, but it is piece work all the same. They are sending all of the repair work from the western divisions to us here in Topeka and making us scab upon the repair work that they can't get done out there with the help that they have got. It isn't right. We send our monthly contributions from our wages to help the strikers out there in their fight and then we aid the Santa Fe by doing the repair work from that part of the system to keep those men out of employment. They have been gradually getting rid of ail the union men in the boiler shoo. Just a short time ago they discharged 17 of them and then hired nonunion hands to take their place. And most of the help that they have hired down there in the places of the union men is unskilled labor. Men with whom it is positively dangerous to work. "Anything that wears pants can get a job. Russians and small boys and all the foreigners that apply are given jobs. They say they have plenty of help and don't need any 'more men but that isn't true. The whole western division is lined with engines which are tn bad shape because there are not competent skilled workmen to take care of them. We have men coming in from that part of the country every day who keep us informed as to condi tions. I don't feel that I want to do the Santa Fe any injury and I have the kindest feeling towards the fore man and -Mr. Purcell but at the same time the Santa Fe hasn't treated us right. I don't ever expect to go back to the Santa Fe as there is plenty of work for most of us right here at home in the boiler shops." Talk of Injunctions'. It is stated that injunction proceed ings will be commenced by the Santa Fe enjoining the strikers from interfering in any manner with the Santa Fe prop erty. The injunction has not yet been issued. The strikers were at a loss at first for a time this morningwhat action to take next. The check move made by the Santa Fe took them unexpectedly una wares. Two meetings will probably be h.2ld, one this afternoon at 2:30 and another this evening at :30. The place of meet ing has not yet been definitely decided upon, but the evening meeting will probably be had at the hall at 711 Kan sas avenue. At these two meetings fur ther action and the manner of a cam paign to be waged will be discussed; it is probable also that this evening's meeting will decide whether any of their other unions will strike in sympathy. MASKED SCOUNDRELS. Who Attacked Edna Cox Near Arkan sas City Yet Vncaught. Arkansas City, Kan., April 14. One hundred armed men who carry shot guns loaded with buckshot, are search ing for two men supposed to be tramps, who attacked Edna Cox 2 0 years old, late Thursday afternoon. The search was started as soon as the atack was reported, the farmers of the vicinity starting out at once and being later reinforced by officers from this place and many special deputies sworn Into service for the occasion. The crime was committed in a ra vine at the foot of a high hill and in a wagon road which is not much trav eled. Heavy woods surround the place on all" sides, forming an excel lent cover for the escare of the men. The men threatened to kill the girl if she stopped to give the alarm and she passed two farm houses before she stopped. As soon as she told the story the rural telephones brought out every man in the neighborhood and they are still on duty. The feeling is stronger against the men than in the afternoon and there is a possibility that they will not be taken alive. The girl was able to give a fair description of the men aside from their faces, which were masked. The sheriff with deputies arrived on the scene and is leading the search. For fear the men have managed to get into town, a sharp lookout is being kept here for men answering their description. WILL BURN MORTGAGE. Third 11-esbyterian Clmrch to Cele brate Freedom from Debt Tuesday. Tuesday night the members of the Third Presbyterian church will cele brate their emancipation from debt by burning their S4.000 mortgage.

It has been paid off in ten installments, and the last one was ,paid about a week ago. Rev. M. C. Long, the first pastor of the church, will make the principal address of the evening. Mr. Long is now at Paxico, 111. He will also preach at the Third Presbyterian church Sunday morning and evening. Rev. H. G. Fonken. of Kansas Citv, and Rev. W. J. Hatfield, of Bowling Green, Ohio, have aiso been invited to attend the mortgage burning. They are both former pastors of the church. The present pastor of the church is the Rev. W. M. Cleveland. All the Presbyterian preachers in the city will be present at the church Tuesday evening and assist in the ceremonies. Ill PRISON 33 YEARS. Only Woman Ever Given Live Sen tence in Xew Jersey. New York, April 14. After 3- years of imprisonment, Libbe Garrabamlt, the only woman ever sentenced to life imprison ment in New Jersey, will, it is believed in Trenton, be released within a short time. Six of the eieht members of the board of pardons are reported to have voted fa vorably on her petition tor release. Mrs., Garrabrandt was convic ted of poi soning her husband. She was at that tim only 17 years of age and her youth was ali that saved her from execution. Goodbye to Texas. Texline, Tex., April 14. President Roosevelt finished his Texas tour when he reached here at 9 o'clock today. He appeared on the rear end of his private ear and said a few words to the 200 peo ple gathered around his car. "I have hugely enjoyed my trip through Texas and I regret that I must leave you soon. You have a magnifi cent state and one of which you have reason to be proud." said the president to Vice President Keeler, of the Denver road, who accompanied Mr. Roosevelt from Frederick. Okla. The president's trin from Vernon to Texline was without a single mishap and the schedule was kept up for the entire 200 miles, showing that there was no miscarriage in the elaborate plans of the Fort Worth Denver for his safe transportation over the road. Mr. Roosevelt discussed executive af fairs with Secretary Loeb until 11 o'clock when he retired. He was awakened several times by enthusiastic Texans at stations en route but did not show him self.

The President May He Compelled to Delay His Trip. CAPTURED 18 WOLVES. The Chase in the Big Pasture Has Ended. He Is Now on His Way to the Mountains. New Castle, Col., April 14. With the snow two feet deep in every direction from the camp and from three to five feet in the hills, with the snow storm still continuing it is possible that Presi dent Roosevelt will be compelled to de lay his hunting here or content him self with small game. P. B. Wells, a Meeker hunter, who is one of the party said: "The weather is at least three weeks behind the normal. There has been an. unusual amount of snow this winter but not in ten years have 1 seen the conditions so bad as this season." "Will Give Him an Engine. Colorado Springs, Col., April 14. For two hours this evening this clty will be the executive headquarters, as the president will arrive here at 7:30 p. m. and leave at 9:30 for the west. He will be escorted to the residence of P. B. Stewart for the purpose of selecting his hunting outfit. A telegram from Secretary Loeb is to the effect that the presidential spe cial will arrive on time. Five minutes before the departure of the special for Newcastle a pilot train will be sent over the route. President Roosevelt is to become the owner of the monster Colorado Midland "Mogul" engine No. 15 which has been selected to haul his train to Newcastle. No. 15 weighs 210,000 pounds and is valued at $20,000. The presentation will be made by John Hopkins on behalf of the Colorado Midland and the train crew so that when the president returns from his hunting trips he will be hauled from Newcastle by his own engine. Trip to Colorado Begins. Frederick. Okla., April 14. President Roosevelt ended his hunt and broke camp but did not leave the hunting ground in the big pasture until nearly 8 o'clock last night, staying inside to eat supper with the wolf chasers. The spec ial train was waiting here and the presi dent and his party entered the cars and started south to Texas over the St. Louis and San Francisco road. Accord ing to schedule the train was transfer red to Fort Worth and Denver railroad at Vernon, Texas, at 9:10 p. m. and the journey to Colorado begun. No provis ion is made for stops or speeches, the public portion of the president's tour having ended. Wolf Hides for White House. Oklahoma City, Okla., April 14. It is reported from Frederick that the hides of IS wolves captured during the president's hunt will be forwarded to Washington and dressed. They will be placed in some room of the White House as an ornament and a memorial of the notable hunt. The same precautions respecting the safety of the president's train back into Texas is being taken as was so closely observed on the day of his ar rival. Track walkers have been sta tioned every mile and no trains have been permitted to pass over the road within the 12 hours previous to the arrival of the special. The president's camp was broken late Thursday even ing and the troopers of the Eighth cavalry have returned to Fort Sill. Met by Colorado Governor. Pueblo. Colo., April 14. The special train bearing President Roosevelt and party is running closely on schedule time, passing Texline at 8:20 this morning. The party should reach Trinidad, the first stop in Colorado, about noon. The presidential train was met at Emory Gap by Governor McDonald and pa-rty who will accompany them to Colorado Springs. The president will deliver a short address on his arrival at the union station here at 5:45 p. m. Arrange ments have been completed for a re ception and it is expected that at least 20,000 people will surround the sta tion. The weather in southern Colo rado is ideal. Will Track With Dogs. Newcastle, Colo., April 14. It has been practically decided to track the game with dogs during the president's hunt and to follow with horses. This is considered one of the most danger ous sports and the bad conditoin of the ground makes it doubly dangerous now. A full grown grizzly can easily race away from a horse, and the dogs can almost equal the speed. Hunters here point out that to hunt from horses at all a dead gallop must be kept up all of the time to close in with the quarry, and that this speed must be maintained over gullies, through gulches, around rocks, over broken logs, through thickets and brush and up and down mountain sides and they pessimistically add, some one is sure to be hurt. Now that the reception to the presi dent and the parade is assured, the women of Newcastle have decided to do their share. As soon as the presi dent alights from the train a commit tee from the Women's Reading club will surround him and will escort him to the club rooms, where on behalf of the women of Garfield county he will be presented with a horsehair bridle for the use of Miss Alice Roosevelt. The bridle itself is a work of art, which took over a year to complete. All of the straps, including the reins, are made of pure white horsehair and the buckles are of solid silver. Receives His License. Trinidad, Col., April 14. President Roosevelt crossed the Colorado-New Mexico boundary line at 11:50 a. m and his train is scheduled to reach Trinidad at 1:20 p. m. Governor Jesse F. McDonald of Col orado and his party met the president at Army Gap, N. M. After ?in were exchanged Governor McDonald presented to the president a special engrossed hunting license giving him cart blanche permission to kif' anv game he may want in Colorado."

LEAP ACROSS ALLEY. Escape by the Stairways Was Soon Cut Off. A Number of Other Buildings Were Slightly Damaged. New York, April 14. Five persons were badly hurt, fifty others narrowly escaped death or injury and hundreds were driven from adjoining tenements, in a fire early today that entirely des troyed the seven story sweatshop build ing at 127-129 Hester street and extend ed to and damaged several other nearby buildings. When the fire was at its height the flames lit up the whole of the lower part of the city, and the East river with a glare that could be seen for miles. The damage is estimated as close upon $100,000. That there were none of the usual fa talities accompanying a big east side fire was due to the fact that the des troyed building was used almost wholly by small clothing makers and that there were no children and only one woman, the wife of the janitor in the place. About 50 men, some employed as watch men for the various clothing factories and other friends of the watchmen whom they permitted to sleep there, were in the building. As the fire start ed on the third floor and spread so quickly that escape by the stairs from the upper stories was soon cut off, more than half of these men had to jump to the roofs of adjoining buildings, some across the chasm of an eight foot alley way to save their lives. All of the in jured were hurt in making the leap for life. Before the fire was controlled it spread to the two six story tenements adjoining and singed, the fronts of four big tenements and a public school on the south side of the street. MORE COLD WEATHER.

Known as One of Wealthiest Men in Tepeka. LIVED HERE 50 YEARS. He Was One of Jim Lane's Guards. Also Served a Term as Adjutant General. Guilford Dudley, age 71 years, one of the pioneers of Kansas and Topeka, and one of the wealthiest men in the capital city, died this morning at 5 min utes past 7 o'clock at his home, 719 Harrison street. Death came after an illness of sev eral weeks. Commencing with inflam mation of the bowels, a complication of diseases took grip upon him, and on last Monday a general collapse follow ed, from which he could not rally. The doctois gave up all hope of his recov ery on. Thursday morning. He was con scious up to the time of his passing away. His wife and children, Margaret Dud ley Walker, and Guilford Dudley, Jr., were present at the bedside when death came. His daughter's husband. Dr. William Walker of Philadelphia, has been in attendance upon Mr. Dudley for the past week. Mr. Dudley was a native of Bath, Steuben county. New Tork. Born there in 1S34, he received his preliminary edu cation in the common schools, and then took his collegiate work at Oberlin, O. Not long atfer he graduated, he im migrated to this state, and has lived here ever since, a continuous period of 50 years. He first settled in Lawrence, but about three months later came to Topeka, where he opened a hotel, and also engaged in the real estate busi ness. Political and Business Career. When the trying times of 1856 came, when Kansas' political events bred as much trouble as a storm at sea, Mr. Dudley cast his fortune with James H. Lane, and served as one of his guards. After matters had quieted down again, Mr. Dudley returned to his hotel and brokerage business. In 186 2 he was appointed adjutant general of Kansas, the first political office which he held in the state. This piace he retained for one year and one-half. A good business opening presented itself at this time, and Mr. Dudley resigned his office to become collecting agent in Colorado, Ne braska, New Mexico and Kansas for Carney Stephens, wholesale grocers of Leavenworth. For three years be remained with Carney Stephens, but gave it up to enter the banking business in Topeka. lie started a regular bank in 1869, and maintained it up until two years ago under the name "Dudley's Bank." Besides his office of adjutant gen eral, Mr. Dudley held two other pub lic positions in Kansas. In 1859 he was clerk of the territorial legislature, and in 1861 was city clerk of Topeka. The latter part of his life he devoted in the main to his business affairs and paid but little attention to public matters. Mr. Dudley was married in Topeka. June 5, 1S67, to Samantha V. Otis of Rutland, Vt. She survives him with two children Margaret Dudley Walk er and Guilford Dudley, jr. Mr. Dudley's Wealth. Guilford Dudley was always account ed one of Topeka's rich men. There is probably no man living however, who knows the extent of his holdings. It was often said of him during his life time that he had more ready money than any man in the city. His wealth is reckoned from $150,000 to $300,000 bv people who know him well. But all these are mere guesses, and his finan cial standing v,il! not be actually Known until his will is probated. When Samuel Radges made up the Topeka directory this year, he called at Dud ley's bank and asked Mr. Ewing, the bookkeeper, the man who knows more about Mr. Dudley's private affairs fin ancially than any one in the city, for the capitalization and deposits in the bank. Mr. Ewing referred Mr. Radges to Mr. Dudley, saying that he could not answer the otiestion. Mr. Radges did not see Mr. Dudley, but called upon the bank commissioner. He found no capi talization recorded, but it was told him that the deposits were in the neighbor hood of $46 00. Mr. Dudley owned con siderable valuable real estate on Kan sas avenue. Among these are the places where Kmahizer Spielman now have their furniture store, the building in which Klingaman has his cigar fac tory, and the lots adjoining the Cope land hotel, where the Copeland drug store is situation. Mr. Dudley also owned his home at 719 Harrison street, adjoining the high school building. He owned a number of good farms, prin cipal among these the Dudley stock farm south of the fair grounds. He also owns the tract of land, part of which is used for Association park of the Topeka Baseball company. He was president of the Crosby Milling com pany, and owned stock in the concern. Farming His Hobby. Mr. Dudley was fond of farming. It was the hobby of his life. His stock farm south of the city was one of the noted of its kind in the state. He thought much about feeding stuffs for cattle and horses. He invented what is known among breeders and raisers as "balanced ration food," which is now recognized as a very good article. Sev eral years ago he raised 100 head of cattle and fed them on this food. He killed one of the steers and gave a banquet at the Topeka club, to which many of the prominent stock raisers over the state were invited. The meat of the steer formed the principal dish, and in fact the banquet was held for the special purpose of showing the val ue of his "ration food." For a number of years Mr. Dudley was a regent at the State Agricultural college. He lec tured to the students at that institution a number of times. He wrote a num ber of very highly thoug-ht of papers relative to stock feeding. He always drove fine horses and raised them him self. To their food he also paid speci fic attention. Mr. Dudley was one of the first men to believe in the value of alfalfa. In fact he took up the "alfalfa idea" when it was first suggested, and favored its general planting until it proved Itself to be one of the "finds" in cattle food stuffs. He was what might be termed a gentleman farmer. He read much about farming and al ways joined in efforts to improve ag riculture. Several weeks ago he suc ceeded in getting a number of Topekans together who at one time were farmers, and organized what was to be known in this city as "The Fanners' club." He was president of the organization and read a paper at its second meeting, three weeks ago. Mr. Dudley was at one time a mem ber of the Topeka club, but left that organization several years ago. He was one of the fifty charter members of the St. Ananias club. Samuel Radges was one of his most intimate friends. "Three weeks ago," said Mr. Radges this morning, "he sat in my office here playing whist with Norris Gage, myself and soma other man whose name I cannot recall right now. He was feeling badly then. We urged him to take care of himself, but characteristically he said: 'Oh, I'll wear it out.' He was very quiet, and seldom said anything. He was one of the best listeners I ever knew in all my life. He read a great deal. I considered him one of the most bril liant men in this city. His mint was exceedingly bright. But he never flaunted his knowledge. One could talk to him at length, and he would sit still and absorb it all, scarcely say ing anything in return. When he did talk he had something to say. For that reason I considered him one cf the wisest men in this city." Mr. Dudlev's reticence was marked by one particular fact, namely, that he has not had a picture taken of himself for the past thirty years. Guilford Dudley, jr., made this state ment this morning. "It is doubtlessly the case," said Mr. Radges this morn ing, who knew Mr. Dudley well. "I never saw a picture of him." The funeral will take place on Sun day afternoon and the interment will be in Topeka cemetery. The definite arrangements will not be announced until Saturday. In express regard to Mr. Dudley's wishes, the funeral will be very quiet, although not pri vate. ROSE WILL CLOSE 'EM. Mayor of Kansas City, Kan., Issues a Sunday Closing Order.

New Castle, Colo., April 14. There has been a fresh snowfall in this region and th roads to Camo Roosevelt were im passable today. By telephone, however, it is learned that the men and animals in camp are suffering no hardships and John Goff says that unless more snow falls everything will be in good order when the president arrives. There will be no dearth of game for President Roosevelt. He will have all the bears he wants and he can choose his own methods. He may chase with the dogs, beat through the district with 25 men, or personally track and kill at close quarters. Four bears have already been located. Trappers today were following the tracks of half a dozen otbjers and by the time the presidential party arrives the lairs of 15 or 20 bears will probably be known. Temperatures tn Ijarge Cities.

Russian Hospital Ship Has Arrived at Saigon. WOUNDED ON BOARD. Reports Regarding This Also Are Conflicting. The Russian Main Army Has Reached Ivirin. Tokio, April 14. Noon. The naval department pronounces the reports of a naval engagement recently off Saigon to be unfounded. Hospital Ship at Saigon. Manila, April 14. Rear Admiral Train, in command of the American fleet in Asiatic waters, received a tele gram at 3 o'clock this afternoon from Saigon, the capital and principal port of French Cochin China, reporting; the arrival there of the Russian hospital ship Orel at 8 o'clock on the morning of April IS. The Orel had many wounded men on board. A dispatch received on Thursday by the Chicago Daily News from its cor respondent at Saigon said: Rojestvensky's hospital ship arrtred here Wednesday night to take on board provisions, coal and medicines. It will leave Thursday at midday to rejoin the squadron. No mention was made of wounded men aboard this ship. Stoessel on Trial. St. Petersburg, April 14. There is no truth in the report from Cracow that 'Lieutenant General Stoessel had been as a formality, condemned to death by the commission appointed to inquire in to the surrender of Port Arthur. His trial only began today. Speculation About Rojestvensky. Berlin. April 14. Admiral Rmsstvsn. sky's squadron is believed by the intel ligence division of the German navy department to be lying off the Cuyos island, eighty miles south of Mindoro. Philippine islands, recoaling and pre paring for the last stage of its long voyage. Although these islands belonsi to the United States they have fine an chorage outside the three mile limit with hard bottom at 20 to 25 fathoms. The German navy department received in a telegram today from one of tha East Indian ports an indication that the Russians when off the southern end ol Cochin China April 11, changed their course and headed on a course which would bring theat to the Cuyos islands in the northern part of the Sulu sea, 800 miles distant, in four days at the rate of eight knots an hour.. The Cuyos islands lie tacticly in such a position that the approaches can be easily watched by the Russian scouts. Three cruisers, it was added, had been de tached presumably for a diversion on the coast of Japan, probably in the hope of calling off Admiral Togo in puS'suit. A Friendly Act. St. Petersburg, April 14. Dispatches from Washington showing that Japan officially notified the United States when the rupture with Russia occurred that no act of hostility would take place till after a formal declaration of war had been made, whereas hostilities broke out February 8, and the declaration of war was not formally made until February 10, attract much attention here. Al though the dispatches arrived too late for newspaper comment this morning there is considerable speculation as to the cause of the publication of the statement at this time. It is regarded as a friendly manifestation towards Russia on the part of the United States, Russia having always contended that the statement of M. Kurino, former Japan minister at St. Petersburg to For eign Minister Lamsdorff when he pre sented the note severing diplomatic re lations, in which he expressed the hope that the rupture was only temporary gave Russia no reason to anticipate an attack without warning in the shape o a declaration of war. An Ideal Base. London, April 14. British naval offi cer who knows the China sea well says that Makung harbor, in the Pescadore islands between Formosa and the Chi nese mainland, which the Japanese have chosen as one of their naval bases for operation against the Russian squad ron commanded by Admiral Rojest vensky is an ideal base for torpedo op eration. The harbor is located in the southwest part of the largest of the Pescadores and has a safe anchorage which runs back three miles so that it is quite sheltered even from typhoons. He thinks that the fact that the Jap anese have now revealed this position indicates that they are satisfied that there is no longer any possibility of Rojestvensky hearing of it before he arrives in the Straits of Formosa, the southern entrance of which he must now be nearingr. Xo Word From Rojestvensky. St. Petersburg, April 14. 4:23 p. m. The admiralty has not received any dis patches recently from Vice Acmiral Rojestvensky. The officials say that all talk of the emergence of any of the interned Rus sian was vessels to join Rojestvensky's squadron is pure nonsense. Much satisfaction and admiration were expressed in naval circles at the bold, direct manner in which Rojest vensky is carrying out the object of hi3 voyage. The attitude of indiperence in certain quarters of society as to the outcome of the naval battle is arousing criticism and Prince Ouktomsky in his newspa per, the Dawn, today takes society to task for Its unpatriotic careless attitude. Fought at Every Step. Tokio, April 14. 3 p. m The follow ing official announcement was made to day: "Ourforce advancing eastward via the Fushtun and Hailung road encountered and defeated the enemy on the morning of the 12th at Erhoulu, seven miles east of Tingpan. The enemy's strength was one regiment of infantry, six squadrons of cavalry and four guns. Our force then occupied Tsangshih about 19 miles east of Yingpan. The enemy in retreat ing toward Hailung fought at every step. "The enemy on the Kirin road has gradually retreated since the 11th, a portion of thi3 force still remaining to bar the passage qf the Tuishu river. (Continued on Page Six.)

THE TOPEKA STATE JOTJEKAJJ, FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 14, 1903. !PH TniQTFR Umpire Sheridan Discusses the "Spit" Eail. Says This Delivery Will Revolu tionize the Game. VERY HARD TOCOXTROL Koisten the Ball and Throw With High Speed. Enforcement of Balk Utile W ill Puzzle the Pitchers. Chicago, April 14. "Jack" Sheridan, generally regarded as the American League's best umpire, stood -with a friend watching- the white sox pitchers throwing to the batsmen yesterday aft ernoon at the South Side ball park. "Boy Wonder" Patterson was on the elab, and aa he served up a fast one which a batter missed by a foot the friend turned to "Jack" in surprise and said: "Did you see that drop?" "I certainly did," said the veteran umpire, "that was a 'spit' ball, the greatest discovery of a pitcher's genius and the thing that is going to revolu tionize baseball." "Why, I always thought the 'spit ball was all talk." "So have a lot of others," replied the arbitrator, "but there is no joking about the ball. It is a reality and a mystery which is giving batsmen great trouble. Every high class pitcher is practicing with the new invention. Some have mastered it and those that are not working with it are behind the times." The friend became curious and want ed to know the secret of throwing the ball. "There is no great secret to it," explained Sheridan, "except to moisten the bail and throw it with all possible speed. To control the slippery ball is, cf course, the great difficulty. Last year the oniy pitchers using the ball with any degree of success were Ches bro of the New York Americans, Gib eon of the Boston champions and 'Doc' White of the sox. Now all are trying to throw the 'spit' ball. On its account games of several extra innings will be common this year." How It Is Handled. In a few minutes Frank Smith re lieved Patterson, and the first thing he did was to almost soak the ball in sa liva. He drew back with his huge frame and let drive for the plate. The ball took a downward shoot as though it had met an obstruction. Isbell, who -was batting, missed It by eighteen Inches. "Smithie" smiled and once more fired the ball like a cannon shot. This time it hit "Izzy" in the shoulder. "Now. there's a pitcher who better let the 'pit' ball alone for a while," said Sheridan, "or until he get3 it tinder control. He doesn't know whether he is going to get the ball over the plate or throw it into the grand stand. That's the great trouble with the ball, nobody knows where it is going." "I should think a pitcher would get pretty dry, using the 'spit' "ball all the while," said the friend. "Well, they do," went on Sheridan, "and the latest wrinkle, I've heard, is to have some sort of a 'spit pocket' or reservoir to draw upon for moisture when a pitcher has nothing but 'cotton' in his mouth. Some carry a damp sponge in their hip pockets, but I wouldn't be surprised to pee in the new unirorms an extra ruD ber-lined pocket for pitchers. "The new enforcement of the balk rule is going to keep the 'spit' ball pitchers guessing for a few weeks, until they become accustomed to it. If a What To Do For Heart Trouble t Hack Up My Advice With This Earn ark able Offer: A Full Dollar's Worth of My Esmsdy Free to Prove That I Am Right. I ask no reference, no deposit, no secur ity. There is nothing' to promise, nothing to pay either now or later. To any heart Kufferar who has not tried my remedy Dr. Snoop's Restorative I will gladly give tree, not a mere sample, but a full dollar bottle. I am warranted in making this unusual offer because mine is no ordinary remedy. It does not vainly try to stimulate the heart. Such treatments are worse than useless. It goes straight to the cause of all heart trouble the heart nerves and strengthens thein and vitalizes them and restores them. Then that is the end of heart disease. For the heart itself has no more self control than a common sponge. It is made to beat by a tender nerve so tiny that it is scarcely visible to the naked eye. Yet ten thousand times a day this delicate nerve must cause the heart to expand and contract. The heart is about the size of your clenched fist. Open and close your fist a doxen times, even, and you will see the monstrous labor this little nerve must do. The heart nerve is only one of the branches cf the great sympathetic nerv ous system. Each branch of this system in so close ,y allied with the others that waknsas or irregularity at anv point is apt to spread. Heart trouble frequently nss lrom stomRch trouble through sym pathy, and kidney trouble may also fol low. For each of these organs Is operated by a branch of these same sympathetic nerves the inside nerves. The bond of sympathy between th nerves tht operate the vital organs has useful purpose, as well. For what win cure weakness in one branch will surel cure weaKness in every branch what will restore one center, will surely restore them all. There is nothing new about thisnoth ing any physician would dispute But it remained for Dr. Shoop to apply this knowledge to put it to practical use Dr Snoop's Restorative is the result of a quarter century of endeavor along this very line. It does not dose the organ or deaden the pain but it does go at once to tne nerve the inside nerve the power nervt and builds it up and strengthens it and makes it well.

Once in his position the twirler may not let the ball out of his pitching hand. If more dampness is needed the pitcher must get out of the box and fix up the 'spit' ball before he again takes his position." MATTHEWSON-S TALK. Says After All Control of the Ball Is Main Thing. New York, April 14. It would be im possible for me, says Matthewson, or any other pitcher for that matter, to say which ball he pitches most. There are certain conditions which regulate the balls that are delivered to batsmen. Knowledge of batsmen and their sup posed weakness is essential in the suc cess of any twirler. It is necessary for the pitcher to learn, if possible, which balls batsmen are least likeiy to hit. Some batsmen will "kill" a fast, straight ball, while others have shown that speed is not to their liking. Others will knock slow curves out of the field, while some are partial to low or high balls. Pitchers try to discover and remember the pronounced weakness of batsmen. This, of course, requires a good memory, but when a pitcher has faced a batsman a number of times he learns what the man at the plate is most likely to hit. The so-called "spit ball" which I have been practicing is most effective. No one can deny that, but it is also uncertain. One of the great secrets of the success of a pitcher is control. Players on our team who have seen me pitch the "spit ball" have expressed the opinion that I can control it as well as any other pitcher. This opinion is based upon what they have seen on the field, but the "suit ball" takes so many queer shoots and sudden breaKs that even a Philadelphia lawyer, were he a catcher, could not tell with any degree of accuracy where the ball will eventually land or the course it is destined to take. Tne fast, straight ball which many think has a jump to it, has a tendency to rise with the wind. That is, I believe, why it is denominated a jumping ball. Change of pace is a most important fac tor in the success of the modern pitcher. He must be able to nitch fast and slow balls with practically the same movement. If he can do that he has the batsman guessing. BIG LEAGUES OPEX. Boston Against New York Means a Tremendous Crowd. New York, April 14. The teams in the National and American leagues will begin the long grind of 157 games this afternoon at New York, St. Louis, Cin cinnati and Brooklyn in the National and Chicago, Washington, Cleveland and Philadelphia in the American. The schedule follows: IN THE NATIONAL LEAGUE. Chicago at St. Louis. Pittsburg at Cincinnati. Boston at New York. Philadelphia at Brooklyn. IN THE AMERICAN LEAGUE. St. Louis at Chicago. Detroit at Cleveland. New York at Washington. Boston at Philadelphia. Jimmy Whalen's Good Work. San Francisco, April 14. Jimmy Whalen, the star member of the San Francisco club's pitching department, whom the late departed Mique Kahoe tried to coax into Camp McAlecr two years ago, when he "did" the far western country with the Ail-Americans, is busily engaged making some history. He finished up 2 7 rounds last Friday and still no ball team has scored against him. It will not take James long to establish a world's record if he wades in and repeats the trick again. The game was a remarkable one -an exhibition the "fan" does not have the pleasure of gazing upon every day. The best Portland secured off Whal en's offerings was two hits. One of these came in the seventh, while the ninth produced the other. Mohler cut off two near second base with a pair of sensational stops. San Francisco fielded perfectly behind Whalen. Charley Irwin, Goehnauer, Parke Wilson, McCreedie and "Larry" Mc Lean are former big leaguers who were mixed up in the game. ims is the third straight shutout. Racing at Bennings. Bennings, April 14. When "taps" sounded for the last race the most suc cessful spring meeting the Washington Jockey club ever has held came to an end. The weather was delightful and the crowd one of the largest of the meeting. The track was heavy but the going was firm. The card was attrac tive, particularly for a "get-away-day." The feature was the sixth running of the Second Bennings Spring handicap. Bohemia won with uaird m the saddle. The Ally ran a beautiful race, taking tne lead at tne start and was never in trouble. Three favorites, two second choices and an outsider finished first. McGovern Denies Being 111. St. Louis, April If. Terry McGovern. 'Dry Dollar" Sullivan and Kid McCov passed through here on their way from Hot Springs to New York. The report that McGovern was suffering from nervous prostration and was in a criti cal condition served to draw many friends of the former champion to the station, but to their surprise the first person who leaped from the train was Terry McGovern, trim appearing and giving every indication of the best of health. According to members of the party the reports of McGovern's illness originated from Terry's inclination to practical jokes. Dick Cooley's "Latest." Milwaukee, April 14. "Dick" Cooley. of the Boston Nationals, will in all pro- Dability play first base and captain for the Milwaukee A. A. team this year, providing he can purchase his release. This will mean that Bateman will be sent to right field, and will take his turn on the rubber, and that Jack O'Brien will be the utility performer. Racing at New Orleans. New Orleans, April 14. The first, sec ond and third races at City park were won by favorites, the fourth by a well backed second choice and the fifth and sixth by pronounced outsiders. The card tomorrow is a good one and an extra good programme has been ar ranged for Saturday, the closing day of the meeting. Racing at Frisco. San Francisco, April 14. Estelle J., a 25 to 1 shot, was played rather freely in the fourth race and had little trouble in winning. In the fourth Mistress of Rolls was heavily backed, but got off badly and ilvea G. at 6 to 1 won. Iowa-K. V. Game Canceled. Lawrence," Kan.. April 14. The Unl versity of Iowa has canceled the game with the University of Kansas baseball team, scheduled for Saturday, because the former management wanted two games and the Kansas board thought it could afford to bring the Hawkeyes nere lor out one game. Fitzsimmons After Hart. Peoria. 111., April 14. Bob Fitzsim mons declared his willingness here to day to fight Marvin Hart at any time and for any purse. He said he had $5,000 to bind the bargain and that he was spoiling tor a fight with the souths erner. 1 i 4 1 t.iezro li Men's Suits, all Men's Top Coats Men's Rain Coats Youths' Suits.

CARTER AT THE START Pitched a Good Steady Game While Me Was In. Honska Did Very Well for the Collegians. There was a big parade out at Asso ciation park on Thursday afternoon which was more tiresome than watch ing a Topeka policeman. It is too bad that a ball player cannot draw mileage whenever he is up against an easy thing. Had it been the case when Ab bott's petlets smothered Washburn yes terday afternoon, each of the Topeka players would be able to buy himself enough meal tickets today to last him all next summer. While the leaguers were not busy do ing equine stunts, they "ran up runs." Fifteen in all they registered before surcease was found from sorrow.

It breathes the true spirit of charity, of helping others. May it do the good that Mr. Carpenter hopes for. "To the People of Topeka: "Although I may be unknown to you, yet I hope my experience will carry the weight that earnestness always should. I believe in doing good to my fellow men, and In no way can I help them better than in pointing out the road to health. "Hyomei, the treatment that cures catarrh without stomach dosing, has done me so much good that I want ev erybody to know of its merits. I had a very bad case of catarrh, and Hyomei completely cured me. I have recom mended it to my neighbors, and they, too, have been cured.

Big Honska was In the squared cir cle for Washburn. r He was a trifle wild and somewhat erratic 'as usual but got away pretty well. The paid fellows got but nine hits offi his benderinos. He dished out eight .passes and most of them were scored on. His support be hind him was as ragged as a carnation which has been in bloom for two weeks a total of seven errors being chalked up against them. Carter started off the slant depart ment for Topeka and in the five in nings which he presided, gave the col legians one single hit and no passes, i Not a run was made off his work. A youngster by the name of Lynch who looks as if he had not been out of the shell very long, succeeded Old Ginger on the firing line. If he showed all he has yesterday afternoon during the two innings which he stayed in, the sooner he gets the pitching bee out of his head the better for him. Three hits were made off his straight ones, and he gave three bases on balls coupled up with five wild pitches in the two innings he presided over the tureen. Four runs were made during his reign. Letheby finished the agony, getting away clean with the exception of a scratchy hit. Just a hint to the Washburn coach: Make your players follow the batting order which is set down for them. The way they did business yesterday was enough to drive almost any scorer to drink. Outside of that, it is mighty poor discipline to let a player go to the bat whenever he gets ready.

Thirteen men will be carried this summer and the Topeka management has decided to let the fans who go to next Sunday's game pick out the thirteen. Printed ballots contain ing the names of all the men who are playing here now, will be distributed through the crowd, and when the game is over, boxes will be found at the gate into which the ballots are to be drop ped.

Syracuse, N. Y., will have Big John Schrant this summer. President Leist's efforts to get him back to Sedalta were without result. The Sedalia Democrat has it in this way: Presi dent D. M. Shiveley, of the Western as sociation, was In Sedalia last night, and conferred with Mr. Leist in re gard to the Schrant case. Mr. Shiveley stated that Syracuse, N. T-, had a cinch on "Big John," it appeared, and the only show for Sedalia to retain his services was for Mr. Leist to purchase his release from the New Yorkers. Mr. Leist at once wired Syracuse, asking how much was wanted for Schrant's release, and today a reply was re ceived, saying that he was not for sale, so it is assured that "Big John" will soon be wearing a Syracuse uni form.

Gossip and Matters of Interest in Railway Circles. Chicago, April 14. The year is to be a very busy one for railroad supply com panies. Already orders have been book ed for equipment and materials of. one kind and another to an amount exceed ing in the aggregate $175,000,000. Of this amount $45,0')O,0OO is for steel rails for this year's delivery, and orders are still being- received. For the first quarter of the year the orders for locomotives exceed 2,000 in number, which is about 150 per cent in crease as compared with the corres ponding three months a year ago. The steel corporation will get the bigr Kest percentage of increase in steel rails. This will offset its losses last year, which were heavy, as the inde pendent companies made nearly as many rails as in 1003. Last year's home consumption of raiis was 1,;:0G,2.S7 tons, as against 3.050.1S5 tons in IS03 and 2,943,789 tons in 11)03.

Santa I'o lias Kliminatea l)aiiKcrou Pass l ioiii Map. Las Vegas, X. M., April 14. Few peo ple have an idea of the magnitude of the work now approaching a conclusion in Shoemaker canyon. Kver since the Santa Fe was built, disaster from flood in Shoemaker canyon has been frequent .Many engineers examined the rocky nine mile cut and the surrounding country and reported that no other feasible route existed. The great floods of Inst fall decided the company that something had to be done. Chif" Engi neer V. B. Storey took the matter in hand personally and after a careful in spection decided that the only thin" to do was to build a shelf on the side of the rock walls on which to place the track above the danger line. In order to effect the improvement, miles of blasting has been necessary. The new line win run nearly all the wav through the canyon on solid rock, the face if the cliffs having been torn away by dynamite to affoid a road bed. Many men have been employed on the work which will be completed by the a or mis montn. What Engineers and Money Can Do. Horace Middieton of Denver savs: "I have just come from the Lantry grading tamp near Watrous. where the big flood of last fall washed the bottom out of the Shoemaker canyon, always one of the worst bits of roadbed in "the west The Santa Fe is doing the only thing possible to make the line safe and sure through that section. It is quietly wiping Shoemaker canyon off the map. Seven miles of new track will have been constructed when the work is done, the railroad will have been built over the hills instead of through them, and the Santa Fe will have no more trouble with the Shoemaker canyon. It is cost ing lots of money, but the policy of the Santa Fe seems to be all for the best roadbed to be had. To the person who has not studied the ground near Watrous, it is hard to realize the diffi culties which the Santa Fe has had to surmount in getting around this Shoe maker canyon. They are enormous, but engineers and money can do most any thing these days, and the railroad has found a way. It is just a part of the work the big railroad is doing- in New Mexico just now." TOPEKA BOY GETS IT. R. S. Gordon Is General raq:rare Aent of Santa Fc Gulf Lines. Galveston, Tex., April 14. R. S. Gordon has been appointed general baggage agent of the Gulf, Colorado Santa Fe, vice Mr. Daniel Driseoll, deceased, effective from April 1. The appointment was made several days ago but announcement was not given out until today when Mr. Gor don arrived in the city from the Ps cific coast and reported for duty. He is a very pleasant young man of long experience in this particular depart ment of railroading and -comes not as a stranger to this city, having run baggage out of here to Purcell sev eral years ago. In fact, he has been reared in the baggage department of the Santa Fe system, having" entered the service as messenger boy in the of fice of Captain P. Walsh, general bag gage agent for the entire system, with headquarters at Topeka, Kan. Thirteen years ago Mr. Gordon came to the Gulf division of the system and for three years served as train bag gage agent on the line between Gal veston and Purcell. Ten years ago he was transferred to Colorado Springs and made baggage agent at the Union station there, which is used by three roads the Santa Fe, the Colorado Midland and the Colorado Southern. This position he held for five years and was then promoted and made baggage agent for the company at San Fran cisco. He enjoys an excellent record in his long service and is yet a young man. He comes to Galveston after 13 years' absence well fortified and ca pable to fill the responsible position which has been given, him in recog nition for his valued service to the company as a promotion well de served. He assumed charge today and at once entered upon the duties of th-; ofllce. X'nion Pacific-Atchison. About the only information that has become public concerning Union Pa cific's $100,000,000 netv preferred stock is that $30,000,000 will be used to pay for Atchison shares already acquired. Financial note from the Chicago Record-Herald. New Uoiler Fine Cleaner. F- Packson of Xeedles, Cal., has invented a boiler flue cleaner. The in vention relates to an improvement in cleaners for boiler flues which, while nu.scepuoie or general use in connec tion with boiler flues, is particularly "ri-iumie 10 on Durnmz locomotives. In funnels in general use and in clean ers of this type the sand frequently goes all in a lump, and when the ex haust from the engine is light, a large part of the sand falls in front of the oil burner, generally set very low,' and this sand immediately forms into heavy carbon. The inventor over comes these objections by feeding and mixing atmospheric air with theveand as it is drawn from .the funnel. THE SHORTEST RAILROAD. How an Ohio Man Secured Many An nual Passes. Governor Herrick of Ohio Is a good story teller, and while here last week entertained several gentlemen in re lating some of them. One he told con cerning a railway man was about as follows: "There is a railroad man in Ohio who has lots of nerve and lots of in genuity. He has become imbued with the idea that advertising pays, and is keeping in the van of catch phrases which have been adopted by all of the leading railroads of the country, such as 'Get the Habit,' 'That's It,' 'The Only Way,' 'Why Not?' and all that sort of thing. He has a little line of road about six miles long operating one engine and two or three cars. Be worried himself very much as to what would be the best way to get annuals over the big trunk lines of the coun try, and adopted a catch phrase to do it. He prepared a full list of annuals over his line and sent them out to the heads of passenger departments, and with them all he forwarded advertis ing matter which had this phrase at the top of each sheet: 'The Shortest Line Betwneen New York and Chi cago.' The result is that he has re ceived passes over almost every im portant road in the country. There is very little doubt as to his being presi dent of the 'shortest' line between the points named." Galveston News. BEGINNING BELEN WORK. Santa' Fe Assenihlitifr Men and Teams to Construct Important Cutoff. Albuquerque, N. M., April 14. The as sembling of men and material at Belen and the gathering: there of numbers of Santa Fe enfrineers and construction men, removes all doubt of the predicted early resumption of work on the cut off out of that place. Four engineers from the San ta Fe's construction department in Chi cago and Toneka have left Albuquerque for Belen, others have cone before and others are coming. Ijarge numbers of horses and mules are being sent south and considerable construction material is being assembled. The work will be a continuation of the construction already accomplished east of Belen. It is understood that gangs of graders will be put on the survey east of Willard at once and that the work w-11 be pushed without further interruption. A passenger on No. 1 yesterday after noon was Santa Fe Engineer C. V. Key, who goes to the cutoff town to ffot mat ters in readiness for the actual resump tion of construction. In a few days the word will be given to let contracts for the grading. It is learned that the work will be pushed with all rapidity and that the through line Irom Galveston to Belen is a certainty. Travel to Portland Exposition. Northern Pacific officials say that the travel to the forthcominsr Lewis and Clark Centennial .exposition at Portland, Oregon, will be heavier than most people seem to imagine. The universal interest manifested in the enterprise is evidenced by the rapidity with which the pamrhiet issued by the road descriative of the exposition was gobbled up by the public. The edition was larger by 5.000 copies than is usual with railroad publications. The demand for the work still con tinues, and to satisfy it the passenger department of the Northern Pacific has ordered 20,000 additional copies to be printed. DEMOCRAT! J1EJ0ICING. Party Leaders Meet at Banquet in Chicago. Commemorating theBirthday of Thomas Jefferson. ALL MINDS ON DUNNE. Municipal Ownership the Bur den of the Talk. Col. Bryan and Mayor Tom Johnson Make Speeches. For pneumonia, grip, pulmonary and bronchial trouble, take Piso's Cure. Chicago, April 14. Subjects of na tional significance to the Democratic party were discussed by foremost ora tors of the party at the Jefferson club banquet held at the Sherman house last night in commemoration of the birthday of Thomas Jefferson. The dinner, however, in measure, resolved itself into a jollification over the elec tion of Mayor Edward F. Dunne, who is a director of the club, and who was among the speakers who responded to toasts. All of the speakers in their discourses referred to municipal own ership and to Mayor Dunne's recent election on that platform. The toastmaster of the evening was Howard S. Taylor, city prosecuting at torney. William Jennings Bryan and George Fred Williams, of Massachusetts, were the principal speakers. Mr. Bryan chose for his subject "Thomas Jeffer son," and his remarks were greeted with unstinted applause. Mr. Bryan took advantage of the occasion to con gratulate Mayor Dunne on his recent election as chief executive of the city of Chicago. He spoke chiefly on mu nicipal ownership, saying in part: "No one can imagine Jefferson as tolerating the impudent claim of the railroad magnates that they have a right to determine arbitrarily and without apneal the rate to be charged for the transportation of passengers or freight. What an opportunity the present contest would give him for the arraignment of human greed and for the defense of human right! "That Jefferson's utterances support legislation necessary for the complete regulation and control of transporta tion lines is certain, and he expressly declares against national incorpora tion a thing now desired by the great corporations. Whether his arguments could be quoted in favor of the public ownership of railroads would depend somewhat upon the extent to which competition is possible under private ownership, and experience seems to show that effective competition be tween railroad lines is scarcely to be expected. Endorsing President Roosevelt's Effort "While I have been quick to indorse the president's effort to secure railroad rate regulation, I believe that regula tion will ultimately lead to public own ership, and, in order to avoid the dan ger of centralization, I would prefer to see the trunk lines only owned by the federal government and the local lines owned by the several states. "On the subject of private monopoly Jefferson has spoken with no uncertain sound. So detestable to him was the thought of monopoly that it was with reluctance that he consented to a pat ent, for, while he recognized the justice of allowing a temporary monopoly of the product as a reward for invention, he so feared the evil effects of the es tablishment of the principle that he in sisted upon the strictest limitations. His fears have been justified and we are beginning to understand the dangers that he so clearly foresaw. "The natural results of private mon opoly are, first, extortion as to the price of the product; second, oppression as to the labor employed in production; third, deterioration in the quality of the prod uct; and, fourth, the corruption of the. power which attempts to regulate mon opoly in the interests of the public. When the English parliament gives a franchise for a private water plant or lighting plant, it generally fixes a maxi mum income and requires a reduction of rates when the maximum is reach ed; but ih this country the advocates of monopoly are bold enough to resist all limitation and to demand a free hand for those who are in control of the quasi-public corporations. City Control of Water Plants. "In the matter of water plants the cities have made great progress, but a small percentage of the water plants being now owned by private corpora tions. The taking over of the lighting plants has not gone so far, but the movement is now well under way. But few of the cities have undertaken to establish telephone exchanges, but this is a necessary step, and unless it is ta ken soon we shall have the same strug gle that we have gone through in re gard to water plants and lighting plants. The sooner the cities begin to establish their own telephone exchanges the less they will have to pay for wa tered stock and in compensation for so called 'vested rights.' Mr. Williams took for -his theme, "Equal Rights to All and Special Priv ileges to None." The speaker was ac corded a warm welcome by the ban queters. This was the first time many of those present had ever heard the Massachusetts orator and his words were listened to with interest. The Mayor on Municipal Ownership. Mayor Dunne spoke on "Municipal Ownership." After a lengthy discus sion of this subject, Mayor Dunne end ed his remarks by appealing to the Democratic party to incorporate a municipal ownership plank in the plat form to be adopted at the next national convention of the party. His speech in part was as follows: "The Democratic party won in the spring election because its platform plainlv, clearly and truthfully declared for principles which were for the best interests of the people. It lost last fall because its platform was a compromise, and because th people believed that it dealt in platitudes rather than prin ciples. The results of these two elec tions should teach the lesson to the men who stand high in the councils of Democracy that evasion, insincerity and retrogression should have no place in the platforms of the Democratic party. The party must take and hold to ad vanced positions. It must keep pace with the march of events. It must de clare war against monopoly in any and all forms, against special privilege in every guise."

LET THE PEOPLE KNOW Kansas Railroad Laws Are Being Pub lished in Pamphlet Form. There is such a great demand for the railroad laws passed by the last legislature that the state board of railroad commissioners is having pub lished a pamphlet containing all such laws, together with other laws on the Kansas statute book relating to mat ters with which the railroad commis sioners have to deal, besides other in formation. The pamphlet will contain every thing concerning which the board of railroad commissioners can make rul ings, so that people can be guided by it in making complaints to the board. In addition to the Kansas laws the pamphlet will contain the act of con gress concerning the interstate com merce commission. This is rather long, but it is a matter concerning w-hich most people are lamentably ignorant, and for that reason the Kan sas railroad board thought it best to incorporate it with the Kansas laws. Few people ever saw the interstate commerce law or have any idea what is in It. The copy of the pamphlet is now in the hands of the state printer and it ought to be ready for distribution in a short time. Among the matters contained in it will be the following: The old railroad Iawr of 1901. The amendments made by the legis lature of 1903. The new railroad law of 1905. The GVass law relating to switches for elevators, and other statutes bear ing on the elevator site question. The maximum oil rate law. The anti-discrimination law. The pipe line common carrier law. The law compelling railroads to maintain, stations at all towns in Neosho county having a population of at least 1,000. The interstate commerce act- Every day the board receives numerous letters' asking for informa tion regarding some of these laws. When this pamphlet is out they will be answered by sending the entire set of laws. Helped Lay First Ocean Cable.. St. Petersburg, Anril 14.-2:0 A. M.

Municipal Ownership Resolution Nearly Creates a Panic. New York, April 14. An attempt to have the Citizens' union, which met in city convention in Cooper Union last night to make preliminary plans for the municipal campaign declare squarely im favor of municipal ownership of public utilities, was prevented by the action of the chairman of the convention in referring a proposed amendment to the committee on platform. The interjec tion of the municipal ownership ques tion into the convention created a stir and for several minutes a score or mora of delegates were on their feet clamor ing for recognition. The incident followed the reading of a set of resolutions presented by R. Fulton Cutting, chairman of the Citi zen's union providing for appointment of a committee to consult with their organization with reference to can didates for city offices in opposition to Tammany Hall. A delegate from Brooklyn offered an amendment to the resolution proposing that the Citizens' union go before tha people on a platform of municipal own ership. Cries of "Order, Order," cams from all over the hall but the delegata from Brooklyn held the floor and ar gued in favor of municipal ownership. A point of order was made against the amendment and was held by the chair it being announced the amendment was referred to the platform committee. No Joint Statehood for Him. Los Angeles.

Wealthy Persons Are Goinj Abroad for Safety. St. Petersburg, April 14. Develop ments all point to a crisis in the present agitation among the workmen of the cities and the peasants in the country on May day and appeals are pouring in from all quarters of Russia for military proteci'ion. The St. Petersburg work men ars preparing a great demonstri tion. Arms and bombs in large quanti ties have been smuggled in and blood shed on a large scale is feared. Wealthy persons who ordinarily go to villas on the islands of the Neva or to neighbor ing country places, this year are going abroad. The government has taken few special measures to meet the situation, evidently relying on the troops and po lice to guard the capital. The latter are extremely active. All the prominent agitators are being arrested or have al ready been sent back to the villages from which they originally came. The prisons are filled to overflowing. There have been fresh disputes be tween the workmen and the managers of the Putiloff. Baltic and Nevski works end between the employes and the man agement of the government cartridge factory. At the latter place the men refuse to continue to donate any por tion of their pay to assist in he support of families of the soldiers at the front claiming that the money is used to prosecute the war to which they are opposed. The news received from the interior is alarming, especially from the Baltic provinces where the entire pop ulation is in a state of intense excite rnent. The cities are being flooded with revolutionary proclamations calling on the people to rise on May day. The criminal" classes are taking advantage of the situation to pillage and plunder while in the country the landlords are powerless to cope with the peasants, and demanding the stationing of troops at every station. From Dunaburg. government of Vitebsk, comes reports that the Jews ere in a state of panic over the circu lation of proclamations similar to those which preceded the outbreaks at Kishineff and Gomel. At Ekaterinoslav three revolution ists who were surrounded by police fought their way to liberty, killing or wounding several of the latter.

It is understood the Orel will leave Saigon at once and rejoin Admiral Rojestvensky's squadron which it is said may be standing off somewhere up the coast awaiting the hospital ship. Russians lake a Raid. St. Petersburg, April 14. Russian troops have successfully raided the railroad in the direction of Kaiyun, about twenty miles north of Tie Pass. A dispatch from General Linevitch. dated April 13, to Emperor Nicholas, says "Our cavalry, April 9, destroyed the railroad and wires near Kutzu and between Kaiyuan and Changtu, and April 10 the cavalry cut the telegraph line near Kaiyuan."

THEY KILLED AMERICANS Formosans Can't X'nderstand "Why They Are Punished for It. Washington, April 14. Botel Tobago savages in Formosa caused the death of eight members of the crew of the American ship Benjamin Sewell and treated other members of the crew in a cruel manner wThen that ship was wreck ed in Formosan waters eome time ago. The story is told in official correspon dence published at the state depart ment today. When the government's attention was called to the incident it replied that the government of Formosa "would effi ciently and strictly censure the savages and will warn them not to repeat such misconduct again in future." Mr. Loomis, the acting secretary of state, promptly directed the American minister at Tokio to say to the Japanese government "that something more im pressive than censure may suggest itself to the mind of that government." The Japanese government according ly adopted punitive measures but found sreat difficulty in executing them in telligently because thev could not make the natives understand for what they were being punished. This government men susevsiea inai several or the na tive chiefs known to have been imoli- cated in the incident be imprisoned un- til some of the Formosan officials could AmCD I'fUII 0 itULll WJIILOi Late Democrat Candidate for the Presidency Addresses Jefferson Day Dan qnet in Xew York. HE BLAMES 3IR. BRYAN For Creating a Hopeless Division in Party Ranks. Knew He Would Be Defeated From the Start. New York, April 14. Seven hun dred Democrats attended the Jefferson day banquet of the Democratic club of New York at the Waldorf-Astoria last night. There were many there of na tional reputation, and chief among these was former Judge Alton B. Parker, Democratic nominee for presi dent last November. In the banquet room portraits of Jefferson were conspicuous. In addi tion to Mr. Parker, the speakers were United States Senator Newlands, of Nevada; Mayor McClellan, of New York city; Congressman Henry T. Rainey, of Illinois, and J. J. Wilier, of Alabama. Senator Carmack, of Tennessee, was the only one of those expected to speak who could not at tend. Mr. Parker was the first speaker, and he was enthusiastically received. Frequently he was interrupted by ap plause. The speech was on the future of the Democratic party and was re plete with suggestions for harmony and urgent appeals against sectional ism, j Mr. Parker said: Says His Defeat Easy to Predict. I do not come here to make excuse or explanation about the past, to pro mote any personal purpose or am bition for the future, or interest. I am moved solely by a desire to com mune freely with my countrymen who believe that the time honored doc trines of the Democratic party, as de duced from the great policies denned by the man whose birth we here com memorate, and established by the founders, are still true, still alive, still worthy of acceptance and devotion, and still necessary, if our institutions are to be maintained in their early vigor and purity. We meet after a defeat which was easy to foresee and predict. It was preceded by division and faction in our ranks over a period of eight years, and they have done their worst. It was emphasized by the use of govern mental power for partisan purposes, by the reckless and unprecedented expenditure of money, and by dem agogic appeals to interests as wide apart as the poles. We have left to us only the smallest measure f power in either house of congress, we have lost states whose confidence we had long commanded, and the number of governors and state legislatures under bur control is surprisingly small. Meeting New Problems. When we coine to consider the politi cal conditions and times, we find, that, when new problems are to be met, it seems that the fashion has changed. It is now thought necessary to devise new ways. The old are not sufficiently strik ing. They lack in the drastic quality required. In our early days it was deem ed a virtue when the government, like the individual, minded its own business. But this is out of date, so the proper way for a government to do things is by interference or meddling. This takes the form of dealing rigorously with for eign countries. It is applied unceasing ly to states until it is now insisted that the general government must tax and manage all corporations, must oversee insurance and trust companies, and must either own the railroads or dic tate to their owners the minutest details of their business. It is thought neces sary to interfere with capital on the one hand and with labor on the other, and to define the relations they must bear to each other. One of the most popular of all these processes is interference with elections. States must organize and control the police of the city and dictate even the smallest of the policies, while cities and towns must enter into competitions of business. As the process goes on down, interference with harmless personal customs and habits seems to be only natural and logical. It will not only be our duty to resist these strange tendencies, so clear as to show the method that is in them, but we have more work to do, more far reaching reforms to promote, more mo ral issues to meet, than we can know or realize, until we begin to look the situation fairly in the face. In spite of the hypocritical claims so freely in dulged, the prostitution of our free civil service to a degree never before known; the use of money m elections, whether presidential or state; the belittling or the misuse of the judiciary; the inter ference with the duties and powers of the states; the maintenance of a vicious and unfair taxing system; the raising again of the race issue in its worst form, and from the basest partisan motives all these must be understood, and" when understood they must be met with firmness and perseverance until the abuses which surround them find pop ular recognition and then reformation. Some Problems to Be Solved. If we are to deal effectively with these various issues, whether in opposition or in power, it will be necessary to have a real party with real followers, attached to real and recognized principles. It is not enough that it shall have a collec tion of fads many of them useless and some of them dangerous and opposed to tne prenistoric position of our organiza tion. We have already had too many of these because it is safe to assert of a policy that if it is radical it is not Democratic, if it is Democratic it is not radical. It is necessary for us to remember that we have principles and traditions of our own and that every denarture from them has landed us in defeat. Nor can we take anybody else's policies, ready made, however strong may be the outward clamor. They must square with our own principles. What may seem to be popular demands are some times not popular, but mere momentary crazes which sweep over the communi ty only to sink faster than they rose For many years, in certain parts of the country, the politicians in both parties kept their ears so closely to the ground that they heard the rumble of a green back whenever this sound was given a party voice. We found the same thing true on a larger scale and with greater and more permanent loss, when we took up the silver question. And yet. of all single questions thus far in our history pre sented as party issues this was the most seductive. Hopes Tiiere Will Be a Party. If there is to remain an effective Democratic party, and God grant there shall, it must in the future, as in the past, draw its membership from these representatives of. work and thrift. In so far as there is, 'under the operation of our laws, unfairness and inequality, and in so far as abuses have grown up, their existence shows that favoritism has become seated and the remedy should be at once applied. But we must repair all leaks in the roof without en dangering the structure of our society. While we must now, as always, wel come every measure or tendency really progressive, we can not gain power, we can not command support, unless we continue to stand for the eompLetest liberty of the individual consistent with his obligations to society. This means, primarily and always, liberty to work, liberty to earn, liberty so to employ his savings that he may rise in the world. Corporations and Trusts. My own recent experience in poli tics does not incline me to favor over much the management of some great corporations. But no student or ob server of economic conditions can question either the logical develop ment or the necessity of corporations any more than he can ignore theic ex istence. They are not the result of some blind chance groping about in modern industry; they are essential features in the growth of that real co operation which has done so much to change conditions. Like all things human, they have their evils, indeed, they have their perils. But, as we cannot be rid of them if we would, and would not if we could, it must be our part properly to en force the laws against them and their representatives as we have done and must continue to do against the in dividual who does wrong. We have only to look about us, in our separate communities, to see that the great ma jority of corporations are managed with as much honesty as we are ac customed to see in mundane affairs and the punishment for offenses against law and morals the punish ment inseparable from failure and loss goes on in these bodies as it does among the individuals who coiistituta them or the others who compete with them. The plain truth is that there has been, no time during the past eight yer.rs, since the abuses alleged became flagrant, when they could not have been eliminated. Nothing has been so much needed as a rigid, honest, un yielding enforcement of the law, both civil and criminal. But instead of go ing on with the enforcement of the law against rebates by putting the railroad officials responsible for them behind prison bars, precisely as we do other malefactors, their misconduct made an excuss for further concentra tion of power in the federal govern ment. A second effective way of dealing with the trust proper is to take away all tariff duties on articles made by any great combination so long as it violates the law or while it discrimi nates in price against the American customer in favor of the foreigner. The tariff is the fertile and nursing mother of all the abuses to be found in these trusts, and yet, the very mo ment the sacred subject is mentioned, the president of the United States draws a red herring across the trail, all others in Republican authority raise their hands in holy horror, the order to stand pat is passed along the whole line of beneficiaries and the time honored process of throwing dust in the eyes of the people is revived.

THE Iir"T ENDS. A Total of Eighteen Wolves Killed or Captured in the Week. Frederick, Okla., April 14. The presi dent's great wolf hunt in Oklahoma is now at an end, eighteen of these ani mals being the total number captured. The cooks, porters, and most of the oth er helpers arrived in Frederick shortly before 6 o'clock Thursday evening and reported the president would arrive here about 8 o'clock. After taking supper near the pasture gate from the wagon containing supplies he and his party it was reported would then gallop to town. Ex-Delegate Dennis T. Flynn, Gover nor Thos. B. Ferguson and Congress man John K. Stevens of Texas will be present to show their respects to the president. About 11 o'clock Thursday morning John Abernathy, the noted wolf hunter, told the president that on this, the last day, he was going to bring in two wolves himself. The president laughed, but Mr. Abernathy left the president and when seen by a newspaper man in the pasture at 1 o'clock in the afternoon he had two wolves, a live one on his pommel, and a dead one tied behind the saddle. In the afternoon two other wolves were caught, making a total of 18 in the week. All of the party excepting C. B. Mc Hugh and John Abernathy will leave with the president for Vernon. At this point the president's car will be trans ferred to the Fort Worth and Denver road and he will arrive at his Colorado destination Saturday evening. COMPANY IS BLAMELESS.

View of the grain market furnished by Thomas J. Myers, broker, ground floor Columbian building, Topeka, Kan. WHEAT The situation in the wheat markets seem to resist further attempts to break it down. The report issued by the ffovernment on April 10 at 91.6 was considered quite bearish by the specula tive trade. Its effect upon prices, however, show as I predicted in my letter of Tues day that conditions had already been dis counted by the long decline in prices since the "latter part of February. The acreage sown in winter wheat ltst fall was .31,154,0X1 acres. If conditions remain as promising as they now appear the winter wheat states would raise 456,000,WO bushels, figuring the yield at par, or 16 bushels per acre. A similar increase for spring wheat over last year would give a toial cro of 610,000,000 bushels for all states. Some good crop experts say af ter allowing for increase in population and home consumption of wheat, there will not be much left for export, if any, even if the best results are obtained at har vest time. Cash continues to advance at a heavy premium over the deferred fu tures. Good wht.at is scarce and hard to buy. April 1, 1S98 (the Leiter year) the visible supply of wheat in the United States was over 30.200,000 bushels. Now it is less than 25.00".0" bushels. That is not in bond. Practically all statistical cus toms since then have been reversed and apparently made as bearish as possible and purposely as deceptive to the cost of the grower. The present official visible has about 25 er cent in Canada. Con servative Canadian reports say their stock is 7,0u0,000 bushels less than their require ments to a new crop. In August, 1898. the visible was down to 5,811,(XK bushels. Why will it not be less this year, be the crop large or small, early or late? Considering these facts, why will July wheat sell as low as last April, when it sold one day at 81c? Purchases made then never have shown a loss. It woidd have been sold out. When it became cash, rebought for September and again sold when it be came cash, only to be repeated for De cember and Mar and sold later at 50c per bushel profit, each future being discount ed. I advise buying July and September wheat on all breaks. If you must sell it do so on good bulges. CORN Corn acts as if it was going to do better. Receipts are moderate, averag ing less than 10;) cars a day at Chicaaro. These small receipts are an eye-opener to the bears, who already are buyins the market to prevent further loss. Buy July and September corn on all recessions. STOCKS The stock market acts irregu lar The low priced stocks are advancing and look higher. The writer is in pos session of some valuable information con cerning an important movement about to take place in two specialty stocks and which I will give to my customers if they will write me or call at my office.

STOCKS Y'esterday's conspicuous features held their place in the opening trading in the stock market this morning. Reading rose an extreme point on running sales of 12,000 shares and Union Pacific as much on running sales of '6,500 shares. There was a jump of 2 points in. Woolen and of 1 points in Erie second preferred. Ten nessee Coal, Colorado Fuel, Sugar and Metropolitan Securities gained a point and United States Steel preferred, Smelting, General Electric, Metropolitan Street Rail way, St. Paul. Colorado and Southern large fractions. An early advance was but indifferently maintained and there were indications of growing pressure against Illinois Central, Locomotive, Smelting and Amalgamated Copper. Most of the leaders rose above their first prices before yielding and there was enough aggressive buying of others to give an appearance of irregularity. There was an excellent distribution of speculative interest and transactions were uncommonly large in a number of usual ly neglected stocks. Near 11 o'clock, when New York Central, which has been a lag gard of late, moved up to 160?ir Union Pa cific rose to 135 and Reading to 99. The more notable advances were Woolen 4 points, the preferred 2 points, Philadel phia, Rapid Transit and American Agri cultural Chemical 2 points. Northwest ern preferred 2 points, Lead preferred 2 points and Car. United States Pipe, Dis tillers Securities, Unseed, Smelting, Twin City Rapid Transit. General Electric and Baltimore and Ohio 1 to 1 points. The sustained strength of Union Pacific, St. Paul and New York Central was the feature of the railroad list, which moved narrowly otherwise The movement among industrials and specialties showed great varietv. Union Pacific touched 136, Now York "Central 1C1 and St. Paul 181. The more notable gains among specialties were Hocking Valley, Car. Pressed Steel Car. Pipe, Beet Suirar and Lin seed preferred 2 to 3 noints, Phil adelphia Rapid Transit 4 points and Amer ican Express 8 points. Lead, Locomotive, Ice preferred. Federal Mining preferred and Pacific Mail lost a point and frac tional declines were made in some prom inent stocks. Bonds were irregular at noon. An exciting buying movement broke out in St. Paul after 12 o'clock and on pur chases of many thousands of shares its price touched 183, or almost 4 points above yesterday's final figures. Other transcontinental stocks did not rise ma terially above the level reached at noon, although Union Patific brought 136. Pennsylvania made a belated response to the forenoon advance in other eastern trunk lines and rose above 144. Support developed on Locomotive and it recovered its loss. Some new advances kept up the variety of the market, but realizing made an im pression on the leaders, carrying Union Pacific back a point. Amalgamated Cop per rose 1 point on large buying and Illi nois Central and Smelting made headway against their early depression and rose 1 points over yesterday. Pressed Steel Car rose 4 points in all, Tennessee Coal 3 points, Sloss-Sheffield Steel 2 points and some minor, stocks a point. Rubber Goods preferred and Wabash r-refcrred lost 1 point. Toledo, St. Louis snd Western pre ferred 1 points and Westinghouse Elec tric first preferred 4 points. The move ment in Northern Securities on the curb with a rise of 5 points, kept pace with the transcontinental stocks on the ex change. St. Paul rallied to 183 before 2 o'clock. New York nutter.

THE TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 14, 1905. L ATE ??M?IHf If Iff f f f MVflfVlf iffMtMtff UCtM M tftf IIS I M tf City Needs a Heal Detention Hospital. City Council Would Take Steps to Build One. SMALLPOX STARTS IT. No Facilities for Care of South Topeka Patients. Always Agitate When There Is an Epidemic. With the astonishing outbreak o smallpox in Walnut Grove there has arisen a renewal of the talk about building a new pest house, or, in more polite language, a "detention hospital." Everytime smallpox breaks out the city council wakes up and discovers that the town needs a new hospital for contagious diseases. Of course it is then too late to do anything, and so the matter goes over until the scare is past, and is thenceforth as one number ed with the dead. If Topeka should build the right kind of a detention hospital, it could do a profitable business on the side in "rail road" cases and cases from other parts jf the county. Smallpox is a disease which is very prevalent with the rail road construction companies. A big rail road contractor is not thoroughly at home unless he has half a dozen men eick with smallpox. Usually these un fortunate men are dumped into a tent at some distance from the rest, fed and cared for as well as circumstances will permit, but their lot, at best, is a pret ty tough one. If the railroad company or the railroad contractor could get these eajses off their hands they would be glad to pay good fees to the hos pital which would take care of them. The trouble is that mighty few hos pitals want anything to do with contag ious cases. Three different payments of money have been made to the city of Topeka during the past year by the Santa Fe railroad for the care of smallpox cases even in the small and insufficient quar ters which the city has provided. In April the Santa Fe paid $4S.50. In Oc tober it paid $7.50. In February it paid J77.14, a total for the year of $134.14. There were, in addition, some moneys paid in by outside parties not in any way connected with the railroads. This money which was turned over to the city treasurer by City Physician Btorrs is supposed to represent merely the board of the patients. The Santa Fe hospital association furnished the medicine. So far as can be ascertained, the board of health never authorized any specific sum to be charged for tak ing care of smallpox cases. Apparently rr. Storrs charged what he pleased, col lected what he pleased, and turned over what he pleased to the city. One mem ber of the board of health said vhen asked for some information about the arrangements which has existed with the Santa Fe: "Arrangements? I never heard of any arrangements. T don't know whether the city ever rot any money at all out of it. I don't think the board of health has any records which will show anything about the case. The fact of the matter is that Storrs never told us all that was going on; we were in the dark about his actions as much as the people on the outside." If the city should build a detention hos pital sufficient to accommodate these out side cases, there is not much doubt that it would be well patronized by the rail road companies, railroad contractors and probably by neighboring counties. It has been suggested that the Santa. Fe, Rock Island and Union Pacific railroad com panies would probably be willing to con tribute several thousand dollars apiece tos warn trie construction or a contagious hospital, provided it should be managed by send their cases there for the cost of their care. So far as known, the city has never approached the railroads on this proposition, but it is highly probable tnat some such arrangements could be made, and a, large and well appointed hosoital erected here for the exclusive care of "con tagious cases. City Engineer McCabe prepared plans for a contagious disease hospital which would cost about SS.uuO. The idea of pav ing out S5.C') scared the council so badly that they chucked the proposition into a pigeon hole without any further investi gation, and there it still remains. If the railroad companies should contribute -0 apiece and the city more it would give a fund of $S,ija, with which it would be possible to erect just the kind of a building which is needed. The present detention hospital is a re constructed barn, hastily fitted out with windows, doors and interior ceilings of matched boards. It was never intended as a permanent structure and was throw:n together merely to meet an emergency which confronted the cltv after the old pest house at th fair grounds had been torn down. While it may not be necessary to send any of the Walnut Grove cases to the de tention hospital, yet there is a stron probability that the present epidemic will develop some cases which can not be cared for at the place where the sickness occurs. The city will then have to send Its patients out to the old barn, which Serves as a pest house, and in which two men patients are already being accommo- tne city, and the railroads allowed to iii or rnese men patients lrom railroad companies. are i FOLLOW THE FLAG.

One large main known as a feeder will run directly westward along Tenth ave Due to Morris avenue, at regular inter vals six and eight inch mains will con nect which in turn w ill be connected up with the gas mains already down and in service. Another large service main of 16 inches will lead directly to the gasworks of the Excelsior Coke and Gas company. This will furnish the Ktorage tanks with a supply of gas and in addition some of the mains radiating from that point will be fed. Parkdale which is at present without any gas service will be gridironed with mains. The Excelsior Coke and Gas company which will purchase its sup ply from the Kansas Natural Gas com pany has ordered a large shipment of mains which are expected in the city within a short time.

They should have been here by this time. The Excelsior Coke Gas company and the Home Heat Light company will go in together.

PACKERS AT WAR. Some of Them Threaten State's Evidence. to Turn GREATEST SLAYER OF BUFFALO Record Held by Jim White, Who Killed a Hundred Thousand. "A man who had killed 100,000 buffalo would be something of a novelty now, no doubt, but there passed away a few years ago a man who, to the best of my belief, accomplished that slaughter during a rather brief career. He was Jim White. Never heard of Jim White? Well. I'm surprised." Colonel William Rodney "Bill" Rodney, of Sonora, Mexico, as he preferes to be called set tled back in his chair in the lobby of the National and blew rings of smoke reflectively. "It was, let me see, some where in the 60's, before the S. P. went through, as we reckon time out my way. 'Before the Southern Pacific crossed Texas,' and 'after the S. P. went through' there's dates for you, as chronological as the reigns of the Ptolemies. "Well. Jim White and I were youngsters then, in the Texas pan- andle, working for Tommy Owens, who owned as swell a bunch of long horns as could be found in the South west. Buffalo were as plentiful as cat tle in those days. They ranged m enormous herds from Mexico to Mani toba, great big herds, living avalanches of hoofs, hides and heads. The In dians and the white men, too, for they ewre worse than the Indians, knowing better, used to kill something out rageous "It was nothing to murder a dozen of the finest animals that ever walked on four legs, cut out their tongues and eave the carcasses on the plains to feed the coyotes. Jim White was known as the keenest man after buf falo in the west, and I reckon he got his share. He was a wonder. "One time, I remember, we had been on a long scout after cows in what is now Chaves county. N. M., up by the headwaters of the Pecos. We were out of meat and wanted some bad. Jim said: 'All right, we'll get some. T here s buttalo not far off I can smell 'em.' Finally we came up with the herd. The plains were black as far as the eye could reach. We didn't want to start the whole bunch off; wanted to keep 'em around in case we should need more food, and while we were planning how to cut out a fat cow or a heifer we saw an old bull, separated from the rest of the bunch and over a little rising ground. We went after him. I shot the brute, and down he went. I got off my horse, walked up to the beast, pulled out my knife and ran the blade reflectively across his muzzle. "Up lumped the buffalo as mad as a hornet. Jim White yelled out that I had o'lly creased the brute, but I knew it my self. My horse was terrorized: he wasn't much good anyway, and I knew I had no show at getting away. I kept my rigiit hand on the buffalo's left rump, and around ami around we went faster than lightning, the buffalo trving to get at me and 1-onring like mad. "Jim didn't dare snoot, because as like as not he wouid have plugged me the buffalo and I were closer than wax but he kept yelling out directions, like a man always does when he is in a safe place cool, calm and collected, and the other t llow's up against it. "All this time I was sidestepping like a dance hall girl. I still had mv knife in my right hand, but I got it in my left somehow, and then I began prodding for trie buffalo's heart. I plunged the blade in up to the handle, but missed the right spot, and the bull outdid anvthing he had ever done before. I got readv for another hmsre and let him have it. That time the JiiKtle got through the ribs to the very lcirt. A surgeon couldn't have done it better, and the buffalo dropped. Wai he dead? Well, he surely was, soon. I reckon he was the only buffalo that was ever killed by a knife. Jim White useii to sav so, and Jim knew." Washington Post. "Little Colds." Thousands of lives sac rificed every year.

Chicago, April 14. The four men against whom the indictments were re turned by the federal grand Jury in con nection with the investigation of the so-called beef trust are George D. Will iams, Seth S. Cusey, Leo Joseph and Attorney Joseph Weissenbach. The charge against them is interfering with the serving of a subpoena on a witness named E. B. Fish. The four men were arrested and ta ken to the federal court where they were released in bonds of $1,000 each, signed by the American Surety com pany. Three of the men are employes of the Schwarzschild Sulzberger company, and the other an attorney for that cor poration. The indictment against Weissenbach, Cusey, Hopkins and Joseph alleges that a subpoena was issued for Fish March 3; that it was given to Bach for service; that the four men had arranged for the departure of Fish from this country to Canada and assisted him in leaving the jurisdiction of the court. The indictment promises to start war to the knife between the packers. Ar mour Co., head of the trust, was de clared to be leading an assault upon the independent Schwarzschild Sulzber ger company, being even ready to fol low up important disclosures already made by practically "turning state's evidence" completely. War among the packers more bitter than ever now seems certain. Edwin B. Fish, the witness, is held under $10,000 bonds to appear at the trial. The indictments were returned to Judge J. Otis Humphrey yesterday, but the charges and names of the ac cused were withheld until the last of the four had been placed under arrest. Attorney Weissenbach dictated a for mal statement to the press, on behalf of the Schwarzschild and Sulzberger company, and the four accused em ployes. Weissenbach names the district judge, Sol H. Betha; the district attor ney, Charles B. Morrison: the assistant district attorney, Eiwood Godmen, Mar shal John C. Ames and the special agent, Edward St. Clair, in his counter charges. "1 told every one of these officials, not once, but several times, that I would furnish them any witnesses, doc ument or piece of evidence in posses sion of the Schwarzschild Sulzberger company, just as soon after they noti fied me as possible," said Weissenbach. "They thanked me for it, declared that satisfactory, and now 1 am confronted with this outrageous accusation. I asked for immediate trial and they re fused, but I shall rersist in my de mand that I be tried at once and I hereby promise that I shall not ask for the quashing of the indictment, attack the validity of the grand jury or in troduce any technicality, but stand trial upon the facts."

Once the fad is established as a habit, however, it wilj carry itself along, as it is a good, sensible one. It is a point in which we Americans are more ex travagant than perhaps other nations. A full dinner usually contains in itself more fat than can be readily absorbed by the system, and superfluous fat tends seriously to retard, even disturb, digestion. To add butter out of sheer habit, to suffer from indigestion be cause of too heavy a diet, and in turn fill up with drugs and have to face the bills, is bad management. Many a husband, while strongly ad vocating every economy, will feel, in spite of the gravy and juicy meat, be sides vegetable sauces, that some way his dinner is not complete without his habitual butter. At least start out the younger members of the family in the new habit, and eventually you will find they will feel better satisfied minus than plus the superfluous fat. The manufacturer has to study de tails in the process of exhausting from his raw material the very last mole cule of his product, and all this in relation to the expense in labor and time for securing it.

The Sum of 20,000 Now Seems Within Their Sight. Fort Scott, April 14. There has not been a committee out after money in this city in months which met with the success that was scored by the com mittee which was soliciting funds yes terday in the interest of the new Y. M. C. A. building-. The gentlemen forming the party were out for only a short time but succeeded in raising $4,295. A member of the committee stated last evening that it was a pleasure to work In such a cause, and the people felt that it was a pleasure to respond to such an appeal, and not in a single instance did the committee meet with a refusal to give to the fund for the erection of a home for the association. The amount raised represents more than one-third the amount needed. Secretary finch, of the Y. M. C. A. has received a letter from F. B, Shipp, secretary of the railroad associations, with headquarters in St. Louis, stating that Miss Helen Gould had decided to give to the new building fund in Fort Scott, the sum of ?3,850. Miss Qould's original offer was for the sum of $2,500, which was to be contributed whenever the city raised the balance of $20,0u0. It was afterwards learned that the rail roads centering in this city would con tribute $7,750, which made one-half the amount desired together with the con tribution of Miss Gould's. That young lady heard of the efforts being put forth by the people of the town and decided to raise her gift J1.300 more than the original offer. The letter re ceived by Mr. Finch says the fund is to be divided as follows: Additional bocks for library $1,000 Equipping bath room in the build ing 1,500 Interior decorating 750 Bmergency hospital room in the building fiOO It ppears now that there will be no troubl m raising tne money for this NO REST, no sleep.

Amusing Account of the Passing of Mose Winis. Mose Wims. the colored gentleman who constitutes the Hill City waterworks, and who for years has disDensed barrels of moisture throughout the city at 10 cents per dispense, and who is also noted for starving two or three horses to such an extent that they sought pastures green in the sweet and brighter "over there," now languishes in the county bastile. The occasion which caused Brudder Mose to take this little vacation from his wet labor was the smiting of the wife of his bosom over the cocoanut with a moist elm club, while the aforesaid partner of his bed and board hung, fast by one leg, out of the window of their home, sweet home. It seems that this little temporary riffle in their happy" home was caused by Mrs. Wims heaving out into the cold world an empty tin can which, at one time, had been the property of Mrs. Wims No. 1, and while Mose did not seem to care for the financial waste occasioned by the cast ing out of the tin can, yet fond memories, rooted deep in his loving gizzard, had so entwined themselves around about this output of some tomato cannery, that the shock made him grow rude and angry. Tne lady's howls for succor brought help, and before Brudder Mose had lam basted her more than 'steen times, he was interrunted in his sport and dragged hence. htm City .Republican.

If you will observe the following rules you may smoke as much as you like without any harm. In the first place, smoke a good cigar. In the second place never light a cigar the second time. The other rules are never to stay in a cloud of smoke, and never chew the end of a cigar. The first rule to smoke a good cigar, of course, means to smoke a Wads worth Bros.' Chico, for which Geo. W. Stansfield. druggist. 632 Kansas ave nue, has the local agency. "Although the Chico cigar is made with a long clear Havana filler," says Mr. Stansfield, "and is equal in flavor, fragrance, and all qualities that go to make a good smoke to any of the ten and fifteen cent brands, yet it sells for only five cents. r "I buy direct from the maker, thus saving any middleman's profit, and in the Chicos give my customers the best smoke for the-lr money that I have ever seen. "If there is anyone in Topeka that has not yet tried" the Chicos I want him to come in today and get one." THEIR SHAPE. BROTHER GARDNER. He Has Something to Say About "Swelling Around."

Mrs. Gardner has had trubble wid her heart ever since she fell off de roof of de house, 15 years ago, and when she smelt dem violets and heard dem words her knees weakened under her and she had to sit down and gasp for breath. While she was gaspin' Brudder Watkins got, away. I come home and found her so weak dat I had to git supper and wash de dishes. "I see Brudder Watkfns sittin' in his usual place, wid grease on his ha'r and his chist all swelled out, and I hain't gwine to rub it in on him.

Nobody had invited him, but he had heard of de meetin' and in he swelled. "While we was lookin' at him he off wid his overcoat and hat and planted hisself in de middle of de room and purceeded to make a speech.

New Cases Are Found in Keith's Addition. SIAYOIl IS INTERESTED. He Attends Meeting of the Board Today. Dr. Jlogebooni Takes Charge as City Physician. More suspected cases of smallpox have been discovered in Keith's addi tion, just across the Santa Fe tracks east of Walnut Grove, and the proba bility is that when the doctors investi gate, they wiil find that the whole south sida of town is in about the same slate of infection as that part where the big red cards have already been posted in jsuch profusion. I This morning the newly appointed ..-nLii nit i. uii autiv-i: .L iti.y yji I3avts, and organized by the election of l)r. K. S. Flummer of North Topeka as chairman. The terms of the old board will not expire for a few days, but it was thought best, in view of the small pox epidemic, to allow the new board r. take charge of the work at once. City Fhysician Storrs has also retirid from office, and Dr. H. B. Hogeboom tvas this morning sworn in. Jlayor Davis attended the special meeting of the board held this morn ing, and offerer! to furnish the board with any extra assistance it needs fcpni the police force to enforce quarantine regulations in the south part of town. Fy vote of the beard, it was decided to quarantine all suspicious cases as smailpox. Some doctors have diagnosed some of the mild cases as chickenpox, but in order to put the disease, what ever it is. under the most severe re strictions possible, all the cases will he treated by the board of health as small pox. The doctors on the board claim that so far there have been no cases of chkkenpox discovered, but if there is any dispute about th nature of the dis ease, the smallpox classification will 0." Councilman J. C. Shinier, who lives in Walnut Grove and is a member of the board of health, said that in his opin ion the city physician should be requir ed to visit all suspected cases of jsmall- pox or chickenpox. after the diagnosis had been made by the regular family physician, and confirm the diagnosis. Ir. Hogeboom thought that this might not be agreeable to the medical practi tioners of the city. Fie said it wouldn't be exactly pro fessional for the city physician to "butt into" a case and pass judgment on the first doctor's diagnosis.

It was decided, however, as a com promise, to refuse 4.0 accept the diag nosis of chickenpox for cases in the in fected district, and require that all sus picious cases be treated by the board of health and quarantine officers as smallpox. Dr. Hogeboom made a report of the investigations which had been made by himself and Dr. Van Horn on Thurs day afternoon. He said: "We called at the houses where small pox was supposed to exist, examined the cases, and are convinced that the cases are genuine smallpox. Some of the cases are severe, but most of them are mild. This Thompson case is a man about 35 years old, and he is broken out from head to foot with typical pus tules. The palms of his hands and soles of his feet are broken out. "We also examined the Ogee family, and found that one of the children had just recovered from the disease. This child was pitted with regular smallpox scars. Other children in the family have' the same disease. "It is my opinion that there will be many other cases develop within a shcrt time. The books at Van Buren school have been burned by Mr. Bayless. the janitor. At Garfield school it has been decided that it will be sufficient to thor oughly fumigate the books, except those which were used by pupils suspected of having had the disease. These will be burned. "I think it would be a pretty good plan to find oflt what families have been violating quarantine regulations, and have some of the arrested. We wjll have to make an example of a 'few of these people to make our quarantine laws respected. If people are not afraid of 'the disease itself, they ought to be made to respect the laws." Mayor Davis, who was present, inquired whether the epidemic constitutes a really serious menace to the city. "It is possible for very serious condi tions to result," said Dr. Horreboom. "We oueht to take radical measures to stop the epidemic before it goes any fur ther." "How many cases are likely to develop before we cap. begin to see the effects of the work"" asked the mayor. "Weil, I suppose we may be able to stop it with double the numtier of cases there are at present," replied the city physi cian. Dr. Hoccboom and Dr. Van Horn made some investigations of the Sells circus employes, but failed to discover any cases of 1he disease. This afternoon the doctors are investi gating the reported cases in Keith's addi tion. There is reason to believe, from re ports received at the health office, that two families on East Eighteenth street have the disease and that a number of the school children in that part of town have been attending school with faces broken out. The case at 1711 Kansas avenue is in the family of M. C. Naylnr. H. W. Naylor lives at 1620 and there are no cases there. Kubonic Plague in Australia. Victoria, B. C, April 14.

Many More Complaints About Bailroad Discrimination. Miller Brothers of Smith Center Want a Chance. ,0T OX AN EVEN BASIS. Cars Furnished to Others But Not to Them. Poor Knight of Chapman Re fuse to Compromise. Complaints, concerning the difficulty of obtaining cars for grain shipments are now coming in to the state board of railroad commissioners. The board has just received a complaint from Miller Bros., shippers at Smith Cen ter, alleging that the Rock Island is discriminating against them and in favor of two small grain elevator com panies there. In their letter to the board they say: "We feel that we are being discrim inated against by the Rock Island, and the people at large are worked up to a high pitc'.i. We want to know if the people have any rights in regard to shipping their grain. There are two small elevators at this place, which I do not think will carry over 7.U00 bushels of grain, and the rail road stands in with them. The agent tells us openly and above board that we cannot have cars so long as the elevators want any, and in this way they can keep a standing order in, thus debarring any one from loading except themselves. "We came to this place about Nov. 20. The elevators were paying 31 cents for the same kind of corn that we sold at 37 and 3SMj cents f. o. b. cars at Smith Center. We have been trying to do business ever since under the most trying conditions. On or about February 20 we bought 25,000 bushels of corn to be put into the-cars by farmers, and empty cars stood here on the sidetrack for days and days, we at the same time trying to coax and persuade the agent to let us load them, and his answer was that 'the elevators needed them.' it we received a car at all, it was one that had been loaded with coal and not fit to put grain into. We have suffered loss and endured it patiently, hoping they would be come tired, but our patience has been exhausted and we now appeal to you for relief." Miller Co. wish to know what their legal rights in the matter are. It evidently does some good simply to file a complaint with the railroad board. Poor Knight, grain dealers at Chap man on the main line of the Union Pa cific, who recently complained that Alida, over in the Junction City branch only a few miles away, had a better rate by one cent a hundred on grain shipments to Kansas City than Chap man, write the board that the Union Pacific officials have already offered to lower the Chapman rate a half cent if Poor Knight will dismiss their com plaint. They say they refused this of fer because Alida would still have the best rate. R. J. Edwards of Emporia complains to the board that last fall he shipped six cars of cattle over the M. K. T. from Emporia to Manhattan. Before making the shipment he asked the "Katy" agent at Emporia what the rate would be and was told that the Kansas City rate was eleven cents and as Man hattan was a shorter haul than Kansas City the rate would be 110 more. But when the cattle were shipped Mr. Ed wards says he had to pay 17 cents before he could get them. He put in a claim to the railroad company for over charge, but has not yet received it, and he asks the railroad commissioners to take the matter up if they have power to do to. Garrison Bros, of Fort Scott also have a claim grievance, but theirs is against the Frisco. They say they had a num ber of claims, some of them dating back to 1902, but they are unable to get any satisfaction from the railroad company about them. "It does not pay to hire an attorney." they write, "as the rail road companies fight and the cost will eat a poor man up." B. F.

Elsewhere. epartraent .95 S1.23 l.OO .50 his stock shipments. Now he writes the board that the Rook Island is giving very satisfactory service and has been for several weeks. He says there is no trouble in securing cars, that he had one car go through about on time and four more only nine hours late. He hopes the Rock Island may continue to Improve. SANDY I5KXD JUSTICE. Judge Hoke Continues to Ladle It Out. I "The first case on the docket today," said Judge Hoke, as the court at Sandy Bend was called to order, "is that of Pilgrim vs. Thompson. Pilgrim is that tenderfoot over there who first appeared in Sandy Bend about two months ago, and Thompson is the critter whose front name is Hank, and whose stahdin' in these diggins is about the same as that of a kyote. This court has never liked his hang-dog looks, and has alius been of the opinyun that he orter be run out of the kentry." "I object, your Honor!" exclaimed the defendant's lawyer, as he bobbed up. "To which?" "To your personal abuse of my client before this case is tried." "Your objections don't go, and if you don't sit down inside- of ten seconds this court will find a way to compel you! No lawyers will be allowed to mix in on either side." "Is this a court of justice?" demand ed the discomfited attorney, as he sat down. "WHEN JIM DRAWS NIGH HE'S REGULARLY HELD UP FOR HIS OUTFIT." "She ar', sir. She's the only court of jestice for forty miles around. Here is where you git jestice in hunks and lumps, and I'm the man who serves it out. When I'm out o' court I'm the sole owner and proprietor of the Red Dogsaloon, which agin ar' the only place in Wyoming where you get a genuine twenty-cent cocktail for fif teen, and where the game of poker is run without limit every night in the week except Sunday. When I'm in court I'm the biggest thing for a hun dred miles around. What I say goes. If I don't find any law to fit a sartin case I go at it and make one. I keep to the law as clusly as possible, but I'm not lettin' law interfere with jestice. The blind goddess with the scales bal anced in her hand is ever standin' on my right. "Now, then, if you and the rest of the lawyers have got it through your heads who I am I'll go ahead and state Sterling Silver.

The tenderfoot comes out here from the east on the advice of his doctor. He's got asthma like a wind-broken hoss. For the first four weeks he hasn't got voice enough to cuss the kentry nor jump a Chinyman outer his road. He improves after a time, but is still breathin' away like a bust ed bellers when Hank Thompson runs across him and invites him over to his shack to read Shakespeare to him. "I might go on and tell this crowd who and what Shakespeare is, but it would only waste the time of the peo ple. The tenderfoot, who is feelin' homesick and lonesome, accepts the invitation. No Shakespeare is brung out. Instead of him, Hank produces a bottle of red-eye and a poker deck, and he uses a heap of soft-sawder to get the tenderfoot to play. This yere Pilgrim knows about as much about the game as a jack rabbit does about singin' hymns, and after an hour he is cleaned out. Even when he knowed what sort of a man he had agin him Hank couldn't play a squar' game. I have the pack of keerds in my desk yere, and I find six aces among it. "The Pilgrim got onto the cheat and demanded his money back, but Hank laughs in his face and tells nim to come to me for jestice and be hanged to him. The Pilgrim comes. He don't come gallopin' in and de mandin'a hunk, but he drops in kind o' keerlesslyand waits 'till I'm at libertyto lessly and waits 'till I'm at liberty to attend to his case. I asks htm if he has any sand. He replies that no wind-broken man kin have it. I asks him if he ever shot a man, and he answers that he skassly knows one end of a gun from the other. He's a half-dead tenderfoot, fur, fur, from home, and he's got to depend on the law to help him out. "You all know what I'd have ad vised him if he's been a well man. I'd have lent him a gun and put him on Hank's trail, and told him to shoot his money out of the feller, but as he wasn't I had to give him law. Hank Thompson, wat you got to say for yourself?" "I never put them two aces in -the pack. Your Honor." "No? It's probable that Providence did it, or they grew legs and walked in. How much of his fifty have you got left?" "About $40, I reckon." "Well, you reckon it over to him mighty fast. Hell have to charge the other ten up to experience and Shake speare. Now, then, this court can't sentence you to be hung, nor yit to state's prison, but it kin and do advise a change of climate. You'll have to pay the costs, which is six dollars, and then you'll have five minits in which to weep on the shoulder of your shyster lawyer. When them five minits is up you git a move on you. I don't keer which way you head, but you must make a start and keep goin", and if you return yere within the next six months it will be considered contempt of court and treated accordingly." "I object to these proceedings as sub versive of justice," exclaimed the attor ney, who had spoken before. '"Does subversive mean that I'm not dealin' out jestice?" "Then it's the same as callin' the court a liar, and the matter will be at tended to in about 15 minits. Mean while, the constable will see that Hank ponies up and takes a skip, and I will call the next case. This is the case of Jim Wheelock vs. Joe Baker. Jim is ridin' along on his way to Primrose Hill so gaily O, when he meets up with Joe on foot. Jim is well heeled, as a man orter be, but Joe Is dead broke and on his uppers. Joe sees Jim a-coming and picks up a stick, and when Jim draws nigh he's regularly held up for his whole outfit. He has two guns strapped to the small of his back, but he wilts without tryin' to fire a shot. Yes, he comes down from that cayiise o' his and hands everything over like a good Sunday skule boy. and all Joe has to do is to climb up and canter away. "It don't seem possible that yere in the twentieth century fl. man could be found to bring such disgrace on this commonwealth, but I'm sure of my facts. Joe rides away, and Jim sots down and sheds tears for an hour and then starts for this town of Sandy Bend to holler for jestice. He bursts his way into the Red Dog jest at my busiest hour, and yells: 'I'm wantin' jestice, and I want it quick!' 'Who agin?' asks I. 'Agin a critter called Joe Baker. 'What did he do?' 'Held me up on the highway." 'How mam- chunks of lead, did you fire into him afore you come dowh?' 'Nary a one. I was denendin' on jes tice to punish him.' "Think o' that, my friends! A man as has lived in this west for the last 30 years, and all that time been carryin' two guns around with him, acknowledgin' that ne was held up by an insignificant critter like the prisoner and never even piillin a shooter!

The tree is estimated to be over 330 years old. Ten feet from the top of the treet, and at a distance of 185 feet from the ground, was found a hole some what less than two feet deep. It had once been the nest of a woodpecker. In this hole had grown a sturdy, fTiree-stalked huckleberry bush two feet tall.

The State Journal Is a member of the Associated Press and receives the full diy telegraph report of that great news or ganization for exclusive afternoon publi ciition in Topeka. The news is received In the State Jour nal building over wires for this sole pur pose. Rojestvensky is acting like a man who is really seeking a fight. The choice of a meeting- place ap pears to have been left to Admiral Togo. Henry C. Frick's announcement that he will enter politics in 1908 sounds like a "come on" invitation. The result ot the spring elections in Colorado is causing the Democrats of Pennsylvania to sit up and take notice. Spotted fever is now charged to the bite of the flea. But there are no fleas in Kansas, while cerebro spinnl meningitis is not by any means scarce. The fact that no fishing boats have been fired upon in the China sea has a tendency to cast doubt on the re port that Rojestvensky's fleet Is in those waters. Perhaps the Baptists, who accepted Mr. Rockefeller's gift of $100,000 without question, are desirous of rid ding the country of its tainted money as rapidly as possible. The late census of the Philippines Fhows a total population of 7,635,126. It is officially stated that this census work was performed by 7,627 persons, of whom all but 125 were natives of the archipelago. IMttsburg Dispatch: Mr. Dodd avers that the Standard Oil company did not Invent the system of rebates. No; but it took the original invention and added the improvement of working it on the biggest scale known up to that time. Col. Bryan and Tom Johnson to gether called on Chicago's new mayor yesterday. The colonel assured Mayor Dunne that he was the greatest thing that ever happened and the mayor re turned the compliment. It looks as though Mayor Johnson had no busi ness there. If he received any com pliments they are not mentioned in the dispatches. The action of the beef trust in putting up the price of meat at this time, says the Pittsburg Post, naturally provokes criticism. For one thing it seems to ergue a contempt for the criminal pro ceedings now under way In the federal courts against the magnatesof the trust. The act will, however, probably be de fended upon the ground that the state of the market is alone responsible for the increase and that the enhancing of the price has no reference to the judicial proceedings. It is maintained, however, that there is no proper Justification for the action of the trust in forcing up prices at this time. Inasmuch as a larg section of the people are not eat ing meat just now, the demand for it would hardly seem to Justify the trust's action. FROM IMPORTER TO EXPORTER. "The Rice Industry of the United States" is discussed by Mr. E. Seymour Bell, British commercial agent at Chi cago, in a report to the British foreign office, a. copy of which has just been received by the department of com merce and labor through its bureau of etatistics. The report is of especial im portance in view of the fact that the United States in 1904 became a rice ex porting, instead of a rice importing na tion, increasing her exports 50 per cent and decreasing her imports 20 per cent, as compared with the transactions of the preceding year. In the calendar year 1904 the importations of rice into the United States amounted to 137 million pounds, as against 178 millions in 1903, a decrease of 41 millions; while the ex ports of rice (including the shipments to Hawaii and Porto Rico) were 13S millions, as against S2 millions in 1903. In 1903 the purchases of foreign grown rice by the United States exceeded its sales of that staple abroad by S6 mil lion pounds, whereas in 1904 the sales 10 TONGUE CAN TELL Ucw I Suffered with Itching and Bleeding Eczema u:;til cured by cuticura No tongue can tell how I suffered for five years with a terribly painful, itching, and bleeding eczema, my body and face being covered with sores. Never in my life did I experi ence such awful suffering, and I longed for death, which I felt was near. I had tried doctors and medi cines without success, but my mother insisted that I try Cuticura. I felt better after the first bath with Cuti cura Soap and one application of Cnticura Ointment, and was soon en tirely well, (signed) Mrs. A. Etson, liellcTuc, Mich." abroad slightly exceeded the importa tions of rice. Rice cultivation in the United States has become an important industry. During the fiscal year 1893 the produc tion was 250,280,221 pounds, the land un der rice cultivation was 342,218 acres. This year it is calculated that the yield will be about 470,000,000 pounds, the land planted with rice being 643,400 acres. Notwithstanding this large increase it is still insufficient to meet the home de mand. Before JS60 the rice production in the United States was practically limited to the alluvial lands of the Carolinas, Georgia, Florida, and Louisiana. "When labor conditions were altered after the civil war the production in the eastern states decreased considerably. When machinery was adapted to rice produc tion and it was discovered that the prairie lands of southwestern Louisiana and southern Texas, with their impervi ous subsoils, would dry before the rice harvest sufficiently to support machine ry, there was a revolution In the rice industry. Fifteen years ago there vcas scarcely a barrel of commercial rice produced in what is now known as the prairie rice section of Texas, which extends 400 miles along the Gulf coast, and contains some of the most fertile lands on this continent. These lands were then val ued at 25 cents to $1.50 per acre. Today improved lands are worth on an aver age $12.50 per acre. Within the terri tory there are about 30 rice mills with a daily capacity of over 20,000 barrels of rice. By 1898 the canal and the deep-well system of irrigation had been satisfac torily tested, and the rice industry was rapidly extending along safe lines. At this date it was found that too large a percentage of the machine-handled rice was liable to breakage in milling. The attention of the United States de partment of agriculture was called to this fact, and measures were immedi ately taken to remedy the defect and to overcome the difficulty by the introduc tion of new varieties. The department's work resulted in the introduction of a variety from Japan known as Kiushu, which has given very satisfactory re sults. JAY1LVWKER JOTS. "High noon" weddings are the thing at Stafford. Mr. Hawk ,pf Whitewater has carpen ters at work improving his east wing. Ducks are plentiful around Meade and the boys are getting their "fowling" pieces out. The iirst cyclone cellar of the season is being dug in Butler county. It is not for J. Bent Murdock, though. Out at Cuba the citizens have "taken sides" on the Russian-Jap war so earnest ly that an engagement is expected at any old time. Speaking of Standard Oil competitors, a Sylvia woman sold two dozen hens for $23, after trading their eggs all winter for groceries. "Double headed" calves ornament the dry goods store windows at Phlllipsburg. That style of decoration seems to be a fad this season. The appointment of Royce for bank commissioner has not stopped the row. A half dozeji men are lighting like Kilkenny cats to succeed him as postmaster. AUNT SUSAN PROTESTS Miss Anthony Strongly Opposes Reso lution Regarding Divorce. Washington, April 14. Over the bitter protest of Miss Susan B. Anthony, the National Council of Women today adopted a resolution pledging the or ganization to co-operate with church and state to ascertain what are the chief causes which induce or lead up to di vorce. "I do not consider divorce an evil by any means," asserted Miss Anthony, who was on her feet before the reading of the resolution had been concluded. "It is just as much a refuge for women married to brutal men as Canada was once a refuge from brutal masters. I will never vote for a resolution that will cut women off from refuge from design ing and brutal men." The council adopted formally the anti-polygamy resolution favorably re ported from committee yesterday; also a resolution deploring the horrors of war in general and particularly the present war in the far east. The coun cil pledged itself through resolution to establish and maintain kindergarten and day nurseries for the poorer classes of colored children. HIS BODY IS FOUND. Search for Paul Jones' Resting Place Is Successful. Paris, April 14. The remarkable search which Ambassador Porter has conducted for the body of Paul Jones has been crowned with success by the discovery of the body and its identi fication today by the highest French medical experts as unquestionably that of the famous American admiral who founded the American navy.

Boston, April 14.t The Mystic Print and Dye works, a New Jersey corpor ation located in Medford, was placed in the hands of a receiver today on petition of the Locke Coal company of Maiden and others. John Street, treasurer of the Mystic company, was named as receiver. Clarence M. Merriam, a well known Kansas man and Boston investor, who committed suicide here Tuesday, is named by the petitioners in their statements filed with the court. Mer riam, it was alleged, had been given $13,300 in demand and promissory notes by the Mystic company under an engagement that he was not to sell or transfer them until he had accom plished the sale of $75,000 in bonds which the company had decided to issue. The petitioners allege further that the holders of these notes which can not be located would proceed against the Mystic company and that this might cause the company embarrass ment. It was stated that the com pany owes $77,000 and has assets of $109,000. Merriam was the manager of an eastern agency of the Merriam Mortgage company of Topeka, Kan. He was a brother-in-law of the Rev. Charles M. Sheldon of Topeka. GARFIELD IS BUSY. Begins Taking of Evidence at Santa re Offices. J. R. Garfield, commissioner of cor porations and labor of the United States, who is In Kansas investigating Standard Oil, is today taking evidence at the Santa Fe offices. Mr. Garfield this forenoon paid a visit to Mr. J. R. Koontz, general freight agent, at the general office building and went over a number of rate matters with him. This afternoon Mr. Garfield, together with his assistants, is at Mr. Koontz's office going through the freight tariffs for the past few years and making a record of the matters found, to be pre sented to President Roosevelt. Mr. Garfield will doubtless cover the same ground that was covered in the Monnett investigation, and it is likely that he will get the facts and informa tion more thoroughly and accurately. It is understood that the railway of ficials have no intention of throwing any hindrance or obstacle in the way of Commissioner Garfield in his efforts to get at the facts in the oil rate con troversy. The railway officials have taken the attitude that in view of the fact that the investigation is going to be made Uiey will do all in their power to assist, if the investigation is carried out in a fair manner. "We have nothing to hide," said General Freight Agent Koontz today. "Mr. Garfield will see every record and tariff which he desires to see." MRS. CRAVEN INSANE.

Other Officials Will Say Little of Strike. General Manager H. U. Mudge is out of the city today, and it has been almost impossible to get a statement of any kind from Santa Fe officials in regard to the strike. The management of the shops at the various points on the Santa Fe system is directly under Alfred Lovell, super intendent of motive power, and he re ports direct to J. W. Kendrick, third vice president of the system. John Purcell, superintendent of the local shops, takes up all matters of this character with the officers at Chi cago, and all knowledge of trouble is denied by the officials at the general office building. Alfred Lovell was in Topeka yester day and left last night to go to Chicago. An ofeial at the general office building said today: "If Mr. Lovell had any knowledge of pending trouble among the boilermakers, he said nothing of it to me. Whether or not he knew of any trouble and whether he took it up with Mr. Mudge, I don't know, and Mr. Mudge is not here today." The same man disclaimed that there was any serious trouble. "The Santa Fe." he said, "discharged about twenty-five men several weeks ag4 on account of a scarcity of work. The discharge of the men today, I am told, was for the same reason. "If the boilermakers had any griev ance, they have not made it known to the oificials at Topeka." The boiler shop of the Santa Fe in Topeka is what is known as an open shop. Both union and non-union men are employed, but the union men who are employed are not working under a contract and have no more right3 and privileges than the non-union men. The machinists who went on a strike against the Santa Fe about a year ago have talked for a long time in an effort to get the union men in the Santa Fe boilershops to quit work in sympathy with the machinists, but the effort has been unsuccessful. A Santa Fe man declares that the trouble will end with the proceedings of this forenoon. "There has been no trouble at any of the other shop points, and I do not anticipate that there will be any further trouble in Topeka," he said. THE RINKERCASE. "Ladle of Politics Used In th; Stirring."' The case in the United States dis trict court against J. M. Rinker, charg ed with sending obscene letters through the mail at Wa-Keeney, Kan., to Mabel Ashcroft and Cosie Jones of that town, was given to the jury at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon. The entire morning was consumed with the arguments. United States At torney Jean appearing principally for the government and David Overmyer for the defense. Mr. Dean's argument was very severe. He said that unless courts and juries took advantage of the restrictions offered by the postal laws, nothing under the sun could prevent the mails from being used "for the most indecent purposes ever devised." He urged the jury to take full cognizance of this fact. On the other hand Mr. Overmyer was very drastic in his denunciation of the charge, saying that it was practically a hatched up scheme for the purpose of injuring if not wholly destroying J. M. Rinker. He dwelt particularly upon his assertion that the "ladle of the po litical brew had been used in the stir ring." Judge Pollock charged the jury upon the end of the noon recess, and the Jurors retired to their deliberations at half-past two. A SPECIAL COMMISSION Xamed by the President to Peal With International Water Rights. Washington, April 14.The presi dent has appointed a special commis sion to deal with three .important Questions which have arisen relative to the diversion and interference With the course of international rivers. This commission consists of Judge Fenfteld, solicitor for the state de partment: Special Assistant Attorney General M. C. Burch and Prof. F. H. Newell, of the geological survey, and has just had its first meeting. All the questions before the com mirsion have formed the subject of extensive correspondence between the state department and Mexico on the south and the Dominion of Canada, as represented by Great Britain on the north. On the south there is the long stand ing controversy growing out of the damming of the Rio Grande and the use of the waters of the upper river for irri gating purposes in American territory to the injury of the Mexican farmers on the right bank of the river. The Mexi cans claim that the Rio Grande is navi gable and consequently that this diver sion of the water is in violation of in ternational law. To the westward the commission is to deal with the Colorado river where the uoper waters in American territory also are about to be diverted, to the loss of the Mexican ranches in lower California On the north the Milk river projects in Montana have alarmed the Cana dians. Arising in the United States this river flows into Canada and back again into Montana. The Canadians have been making large use of the waters cm their side which had led to a project by the people of Montana to cut out the entire bend in the river on the Cana dian side by a canal, the effect of which would be to completely deprive the Ca nadians of water. The commission will have to deal with some entirely new questions of inter national law relative to riparian rights. ELEPHANTS EXPECTED. Five for Sells Downs' Show May Arrive Today. Five great big trunks are en route from Kansas City to Topeka for the Sells Downs shows. They are some of the biggest trunks ever received here and are being sent under the careful attention of the Wells-Fargo Express company. Probably it is only fair to state that each of the trunks is attached to an elephant. The elenhants are recent purchases of the show management and have been in quarantine in the New Tork harbor for the past fifteen days. That's ,the rule, and it was feared for a while that the elephants would not be received in time for the opening of the show here on the 29th. The animals were purchased from a deal er in Liverpool. -y ?s sw s J"". 5"n J5 ren ?a S J -f':"'j3 'Jlf 'f tcJ W iainSWW r "i n w YkM- a 0 0 0 0 0 0 f 0 0 0 -0 0 -V 0. 0 0 J 0 0 C H.

The disturbance which is being made about a little $35 job under the new ad ministration of city affairs is something awful. This morning a delegation of five well dressed colored citizens called on City Attorney Drenning and pro ceeded to "lay down" on him in the most approved political fashion. They demanded that he endorse A. M. Thom as, the colored man who wants to be police court assistant for the city at torney. This "position" pays $35 per month. Mr. Drenning and the colored delega tion fought it out in a half hour ses sion behind closed doors. Drenning told the colored men that he would not al low his appointments to be dictated by politicians. The colored men told him that they had worked for him in the campaign, and deserved his help. Dren ning said he didn't know about that, but that he had never heard of Mr. Thomas or Mr. Guy, the colored law yers who are both after the job, ever doing anything for him in a political way. The delegation told him that he ought to give the colored race a show, and Drenning replied that he would rather give up his office than allow poli tics to dictate his appointments. The indications are that Mayor Davis has given the colored people to under stand that he will appoint their man Thomas if they can get Drenning s en dorsement. He has thus avoided in very neat fashion the responsibility for turning down their application for a MFoHheBaliy iWifi)) I A baby who frets, worries, or cries, or sleeps poorly is prob ably poorly nourished, unless there is actual disease.

To secure this endorsement was the purpose of the visit made to Mr. Drenning this morning. It failed en tirely, and so the politicians are now guessing that W. H.

City Attorney Drenning said today: "I have reason to believe that some of the political schemers had it all fixed up before election that they would name the man for police court assist ant. It is, in my opinion, a move of the whisky people. They need not dic tate this appointment. If I am to be held responsible for the management of this office, I should at least be allowed to pick out the men I want for my as sistants.

Pavey, Well Known Detec tive, Gets a Place. ENOYTN AS BRAVE MAN. an With a Gun Has No Terrors for Him. Almost a Murder in a Rottoms. i r a uoini. i The "gum-shoe" department of the police force was materially improved at 4:15 o'clock last evening, by the ap pointment of Kverett A. Pavey, the well known detective, who has been working tor the Santa Fe company about a year. Pavey has resigned his position with the railroad company, will put in one r.ight at real sleep and then begin his duties on the force tomorrow mornjnK'. Pavey is recognized as one of the best. If not the best, detectives ever employed In this city, and will no doubt be put in charge of the detective department, which will consist of four plain clothes officers. W ith the exception of the short time he was serg-eant under Tim Donovan. Pavey has been a plain clothes officer for several years. He was a detective during Ktahl's first term as chief, and again under Donovan, Goff and McCol lum. He resigned about three years ago and went to Portland, Oregon, and Si -attle, Washington, where lie worked as a detective. He returned to Topeka in about a year, worked as a detective under McCollum, and quit to take a position with the Santa Fe May 1, 1904. Pavey. in his many years of detective vork, has made a reputation for ability and "nerve," and has caught a number of vicious criminals. About three years ego he caught a fractious horse thief, pnd started with him to the station. While walking along quietly the "bad man" suddenly poked a revolver under the officer's nose and said: "Poke up your mitts you." Instead of complying with this modest request, Pavey seized the thief by the throat with one hand, and the revolver with the other. Then he "crucified" the man against a brick wall, and although he 'dared not re lease either hold to break the grip on the gun, the robber was almost choked into insensibility when a barber ran out and plucked the weapon from his weakening grasp. Because he knows most of the crimi nal element of the town, is fearless and vide awake, Pavey will be a valuable addition to the force. The "crying need" of a little hard us flge for "bottoms' joints, is crying louder each day. In fact this crying need is becoming- noisy. The good old days when homieidrs were a feature f the joint entertainments, seem to be coming back again. The mayor and chief have advertised that they will clean house before long, and they can not, get busy any too soon to please the public. I,ast night William Waters, not the one who runs the Heitman hotel but a lower-cruder, playfully tapped Bert Cunningham, another of his kind, on the coco wiLh a beer bottle, and Cun ningham is now in Keith's hospital with a ciacked skull. This little diversion occurred in a tough negro dive at Kast. First street, which has heen tt e subject of some very unfavorable com ment. P.oth men were saturated with a very poor grade of vitriol, tobacco juice and burnt umber, and felt like lighting. So they fought for no pur pose other than to ascertain who was the best man. Although this is the first time any one has been so badly injured that an arrest followed, it is claimed by the police that such affairs are common in that district, and in and about this particular joint, which is run by Annie Mitchell, a negro of police court fame. Waters, the man who was winner of the last night's melee, is now in the county jail awaiting the results of Cun ningham's injuiy, which may prove fa tal. He escaped after the fight, but was run down and captured by Officer larn: Bob VanTuyl and George Oswaldt who were recently convicted of running ft joint at 813 North Kansas avenue may be granted the distinction of being the second and third liquor sellers who ever served out their allotted time in the city jail. The first, in the recollec tion of the present regime, was an old darky who was accused of bootlegging convicted and incarcerated because he could not furnish an appeal bond Messrs. Van Tuyl and Oswaldt are now serving time, having been cast in last night, because their attorney forgot to file an anneal. A couple of weeks ago VanTuyl and Oswaldt were fined S100 and 30 days each. They were allowed by law ten days in which to file an appeal They thought this had been done until four o'clock in police court last evening when Judge I'rmy issued a committ- ment and they were cast in G'Men lclo1?' their attorney, says he is sure he filed the appeals, but the police deny having received any such documents X nless some kind of a compromise can be made, the victims are doomed to spend SO days in jail, and then, which to a jointist. looks like adding inult to Injury, be forced to pay a fine of $100 each or stay in, at hard labor, for a hundred days more. Beside the arrest of Waters, who was turned over to the state, the police busi ness last night consisted of the arrest of one very plain drunk. aires: or SHE GIVES IT IT.

THE TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 14, 1905. 00E OUGHTTO K1I0V HOW TO STREXGTHEX THE OR GANS OF DIGESTION. A Course of Treatment That Really Cures Indigestion Instead of Merely Relieving Symptoms. There are plenty of remedies by which you can relieve for the time heartburn, pain and gas in the stomach and can smother nervous sensations and induce artificial sleep. But when you take your next meal all your troubles begin fresh. You can humor your stomach by giving- it predigested food. Still there isn't much fun in that kind of eating and when you want to get some pleasure out of your meals again, you find that your stomach is weaker than ever. There is only one sensible thing to do. Strengthen the stomach and when it is once in proper condition it will do its own work better than any process de vised by man can ever do it. When it is ftgain strong don't abuse it. Choose ra tional food and study the effect even o that, as yours may at best be a freakish Itomaeh. For a weak stomach, a lazy stomach, a broken-down stomach you need a tonic that will rouse the stomach to do the work that will keep it robust. The best remedy ever found for this pur pose is the one used by Mrs. Nettlie Jjarvouj, of Detroit, Mich., whose re covery from dyspepsia of nine years' standing attracted widespread attention in September last. Mr. Strong read with interest her etatemer.t that she had been cured of chronic dyspepsia by a few weeks' use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. He had Buffered in the same way most of his life, and Just then was having a very eevere attack. He began the same treatment at once and in a few months -wrote that he, too, had realized a com plete cure. "For vears," states Mr. Strong, "I Buffered greatly from indigestion. I tried rnany remedies and some of them would relieve me for a time, but the trouble always came back. About six months ego I had an unusually severe attack, end while I tried everything I had ever heard of, I f unci nothing that would reach the difficulty this time. "One day I read in a Memphis paper en account of the very remarkable cure of a Michigan woman, a sufferer from dyspepsia of a most stubborn type. Twelve doctors had at different times treated her without success, but at last ehe was entirely cured, and in a short time too, by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Her statement led me to try the same remedy and it proved just B9 successful in my case. I took only three boxes, and I am convinced that I em permanently cured. I have not had the slightest symptoms of indigestion lor the last two months." Multitudes of cases that had defied ell other remedies have been quickly cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Mr. E. E. Strong lives at Capleville, Shelby county, Tennessee. The remedy which he used with such success can be found et any drug store. While so promptly effective. Dr. Wil liams' Pink Pills contain no harmful Stimulants or opiates. They are per fectly safe and create no drug hnbit. Kvery dyspeptic should read "What to Eat and' How to Eat."

SMS CONSPIRACY. E. Brown Gives His Side in Chi cago IMsbarment Case. Chicago, April 14. In the disbar ment proceedings against William Eugene Brown, former member of the Kansas legislature, the defendant to day said in explaining his side of the case: "I am the victim of a conspiracy, at the bottom of which are Attorneys Buckley, Gray and More and Judge Dunne. I defeated them in an ex tended litigation between A. D. Per kins and the Nisely Brothers and since then they have sought to crush me. "The original basis of the disbar ment proceedings was the result of a putup job upon me by C. A. Nelson, .1. S. Albright and Billy Barton, a de tective. I was retained by Albright to collect an alleged debt from C. A. Nelson. Nelson settled by giving me a check for $3,850, which I turned into the American Trust and Savings bank. Later it was discovered that Nelson had no account at the bank. That was four years ago and the bank never took any steps in the matter. Now it has been raked up. "When I discovered that I had been deceived I employed Barton to investigate the case and gave him the j check to help compare signatures. He went to Kansas City and 1 have not heard from him since. I then went to another detective agency and asked aid, but that, too, went to the other side. I then advertised for informa tion from people who knew Nelson, Albright and Barton and cnanes Haas of the Haas detective agency told me he would look up the matter. "He e-ot enouch information about I the case to know the description of Barton. When I went to his office he told me Barton had'been one of his operators and he knew him well. He said he would testify to all he knew about him and also about his leaving Chicago for Kansas City. His stenog- raoher told me she had been in tna office of the Haas agency for eight years and she too would testify. "It has developed mat iiaas ana his people are in league to destroy me. They declared I had asked them to testify concerning Barton and had promised to pay them $200 for so do ing. They denied all they told me and denied ever knowing or having heard of Barton. They told false hoods." CASE IS DISMISSED. Nan Patterson Will Not Be Tried on Charge ol Conspiracy. New York, April 14. The indict ment charging Nan Patterson witn conspiracy with J. Morgan Smith and Mrs. Smith, wrongfully to ODtain money from Caesar Young, was dis missed in the court of general sessions today at the request of the assistant district attorney. Counsel for the Smiths demurred to the indictment against the Smiths and declared that the facts alleged against them did not constitute a crime. The court re versed the decision. Counsel for the Smiths endeavored to secure the re turn of property taken from the Smiths but failed. Miss Patterson, who is -about to be tried again for the murder of Caesar Young, was brought into court with the Smiths. Mr. Rand told the court that a mis take had been made in drawing up the indictment against Miss Patterson and that it tended to prejudice her position in the capital case. In ask ing for the dismissal of the indict ments against her he reserved right to resubmit. Miss Patterson was then remanded to the Tombs prison. The effect of the action will be to prevent her counsel from getting at the grand jury minutes which might have aided m her defense. In support of his contention that the facts charged against the Smiths did not constitute conspiracy their counsel read an intercepted letter from Julia Smith to "Caesar" Young in which the writer stated that Miss Patterson was about to become a mother, which is one of the allega tions in the charge of conspiracv to get money from Young. Counsel said the statements as to Miss Patterson's health did not bear out the allegations and that the alleged threatening of Young with a revolver, if true, was an independent offense. He declared that false pretenses could not be con sidered extortion. Judge Foster reserved decision on the demurrer and allowed the counsel to submit briefs later in the day. Smith and his wife, who were excused from pleading, were remanded to the Tombs. BASEBALL SEASON. Large Crowds at Opening Games Snow at C leveland. New York, April 14.

Burglar Leaps With $700 Rug But Is Shot by Watchman. New York, April 14. A burglar was ishot and probably fatally wounded early today by a private watchman guarding the home, in Brooklyn, or George Prentiss, a Wall street banker. The burglar, when discovered, leaped through a plate glass window and was pursued two blocks before he fell wKh two bullets In his body. The Prentiss mansion is located on Plerrpont street, a fashionable quar ter of Brooklyn Heights. In the ab sence of the family the watchman stayed inside and was on the top floor when the burglar entered. On being discovered the interloper leaped through a parlor window and fled with the watchman at his heels. Seeing that pursuit was futile the watchman began shooting. The neighborhood was quickly alarmed and members of a fire engine company rushed from their house to investigate. The watch man's builets grazed their heads and they quickly dodged back. A block further and the burglar fell. On his arm was found a $700 rug, while papers in his pockets bore the name of John Costigan, of Saugerties, X. Y. The physicians say he can not recover. ernor Yates has been retained with ex-Governor Black of New York to assist in the defense of Caleb Powers, who will be placed on trial again at Georgetown, Ky. ,the first Monday in May.

It is reported that precautions are being taken by the government and the principal banks, says a Herald dispatch from Panama, to prevent a decline in local exchange as a result of a possible speculative movement. Since new cur rency has been put into circulation and the requirements of the canal commission have been increased by reason of the large number of labor ers who pre employed on the canal and are paid in silver, it is considered essential that legal parity be main tained. Minister Barrett and Gover nor Davis of the canal zone are con ferring to prevent a crisis. Exchange, however, is now maintained at 103 per cent on New York, at 100 per cent on London and 97 per cent on Paris. Ex change of Panama silver coin for American gold is maintained at 100 per cent for all purposes and English gold at 98 per cent, but there is no great demand for either gold or exchange.

If the board of governors oZ the local Building Employers' association fails to end the lockout of the carpenters which has been on for some month. Na tional President Huber of the Brother hood, who is now in New York, threatens to ordar a national strike of the Brotherhood men on all the con tracts of members of the Employers" association in other cities. William Pchardt of the national ex ecutive committee of the Brotherhood has started for Chicago to await in structions from Huber. The trouble is now between the new union and the Master Carpenters' as sociation. There is a radical and con servative element in the latter, the former being in favor of standing by the new union in refusing the national charter offered by the Brotherhood, and the latter of bringing pressure on the union to accept the charter. Fur ther efforts are now being made to end the trouble here so that its spread may be prevented. MESSIAH AT LINDSBORG. Special Train and Low Kates Via I'nion Pacific.
