'anania Canal .Bill Sent Orer to the Senate. Washington, Dec. 11. A lively tilt occurred in the house just before ad journment between Lamar (Fla.) and the minority leader, Mr. Williams, re garding committee assignments. Mr. Lamar sought to discuss the matter but Mr. Williams objected in the in terest of Democratic harmony, effec tiveness and grood will. He was at once challenged to call a Democratic caucus for tomorrow but declined to commit himself on the ground that the house was no place for Democrats to wash their linen for the amuse ment of Republicans. Mr. Lamar was taken off the committee on interstate and foreign commerce. As notice had been given that the announcement of committees was to be made in the house today, a large attenrlar.ee of members was present at the hour of convening. Mr. Dalzell presented a resolution amending the rules by increasing by one member the ways and means, mines and mining. Irrigation of arid lands and other committees and an in crease of two members on the com mittee on manufactures, an increase of three members on immigration and naturalization and creating a new committee of seven members on ex penditures in the department of com merce and labor. I'mnimous consent was asked for the immediate adoption of the resolu tion. The house has adjourned until W ed nesday. In the Senate. Washington,. Pec. 11. When the senate convened today a message was received from the house transmitting the emergency bill appropriating $11, OOO.nno to aid in the construction of the Panama canal. It was withheld bv the vice president until the conclu sion of the routine morning business. During the introduction of bills there were numerous conferences on the floor to determine whether the meas ure should be referred to the commit tee on appropriations or the inter oceriic canal committee. There was a discussion of railroad legislation precipitated by a bill in troduced by Mr. Tillman.- which he explained gave the interstate com merce commission power to tlx a max imum reasonable rate. Mr. Foraker talked at some length on the railroad question. He insisted that the Till man bill recognized that rebates had stopped or could be under the pres ent law. Mr. Tillman said he did think so until the investigation of Mr. Judson Harmon, instituted by the executive, had been such a miserable fiasco. The present law would prove a failure until the president stopped protecting and whitewashing cabinet officers, he said. Mr. Foraker continued to discuss the features of proposed rate legisla tion.

ATiililiOil DEAD Famous Eeformer and Champion of the Filipinos Succumbs to an Attack of Acute Indigestion. Boston, Dec. 11. Edward Atkinson, the well known social and political economist of this city, died suddenly to day after an attack of acute indiges tion, affecting the heart. He was 73 years of age. Edward Atkinson, Who Died Today. For nearly 40 years Mr. Atkinson has been before the public eye through the authorship -of numerous papers and pamphlets on banking, competition, railroading, cotton manufacture, fire prevention, the tariff, money questions and imperialism.- He was looked upon as 'the leader of the anti-imperialism forces in this country, and from the end of the war with Spain and the occu pation of the Philinpine islands by the L'nited. States he has denounced with voice and pen, and in no unmeasured terms, the retention of those islands by the government. He contended that the Filipinos should be granted absolute freedom, and also that it was against the traditions of this country and the policy of those who founded it to un dertake the government of colonial possessions. Mr. Atkinson was born in Brookline, Mass., February 10, 1S2T. He was edu cated in private schools and colleges and fitted himself for the bar. He re ceived degrees of LL. D. from the Uni versity of South Carolina and Ph. D. from Dartmouth college. He was mar ried on October 4, 1S33, to Mary C. Heath. While Mr. Atkinson was a lawyer by profession he engaged in the business of fire insurance underwriting and during a long and active life acquired a con siderable competence. He was also of an inventive turn of mind and among other things invented an improved cook stove, which is called "Alladin Oven." He has been president of the Boston Manufacturers' Mutual Fire Insurance company since 1878. Among many of his writings that have made him famous as one of the prominent economists of the country are "The Distribution of Prop erty," "Industrial Progress of tTt Na tion," "The Margin of Profit." "Taxa tion and Work." "The Science of Nu trition" and "The Prevention of Loss by Fire." Mr. A-tkinson made his home for many years at Heath Hill, Brook line, Mass. CALDWELL JURY OUT.

They are kept in close confinement, guarded by the bailiff, and their meals taken to them. They entered upon the consideration of the case at 8 o'clock this morning, although given the case Saturday even ing. The religious scruples of one of the jurors prevented him from desecrating the Sabbath. The closing speech for the defense was made by Attorney T. L. Bond. During Mr. Bond's speech Mrs. Cald well broke down for the first time since she has been accused of the murder of her husband.

Emperor Nicholas has issued an order of the day thanking all the Cossack troops for their self-sacrificing, untiring and loyal ser vices to the throne and fatherland both at the seat of war and in the preserva tion of order within the empire. The municipal board of arbitration has appealed to Premier Witte to re lease M. Kruztaleff, president of the ex ecutive committee of the workmen's council owingr to the threats of a general strike unless he is liberated. A telegxarrt from KiefT saya the pos tal and telegraph strike there has ended. General Railroad Strike. Warsaw, Russian Poland, Dec. 11. The central committee of the union of railway men now in session at Moscow will probably order a general railroad strike to begin at midnight in conse quence of the arrest of M. Krutztaleff, president of the executive committee of the workmen's council at St. Petersburg. The local committee o the Railroad Men's union has received a notification from the committee at St. Petersburg to that effect. FLOWING WITH BLOOD. Riga Is Reported to Resemble a Slaughter House. St. Petersburg, Dee. 10, Sunday morning, via Eydtkuhenen, East Prussia, Dec. 11.. There is every in dication this morning that the gov ernment's challenge will be accepted and that within forty-eight hours a general strike throughout Russia will be ordered. A terrible storm has been raised by the arrest of M. Krustaleff, president of the executive committee of the workmen's council which was followed during the night by the im prisonment of the members of the workmen's council and a number of Socialistic leaders. "The reaction has come," were the words on every lip and in the liberal extremists' camp there was--only one opinion, namely that it must be. rfir-. sisted to the bitter end. At all the meetings last night, some of which lasted until morning, the opinion was unanimous that the government had forced the hands of the proletariat and that the supreme weapon, a general strike, must be invoked. The newspaper editors at yester day's evening, decided that the tern day's meeting, decided that the tem porary press law forbidding the dis cussion of vital question affecting the welfare of the nation violated the principles of freedom of speech and press guaranteed by the imperial i manifesto and that it must be defied, j The result was that the editions of the i Russ and half a dozen more radical papers were confiscated. The employes of the Riga-Orel rail road have declared a strike on ac count of the delaration of martial law in Livonia and have sent an ap peal to the other roads to join. Last night the railroad men of the Baltic lines decided to follow the example of the Riga-Orel men. The situation in Livonia is fright ful. Absolute anarchy prevails. A mes senger who arrived here this morning' declared that the streets of Riga were flowing with blood. After a meeting the railroad men of Riga were mowed down by the fire of machine guns and artillery. The railroad men of St. Petersburg at a meeting yesterday evening re solved that inasmuch as "the reac tion is gaining force and the govern ment is seeking to retract what was won bv the first Pan-Russian strike," the railroad men stand ready to obey the signal for a general strike, but advise their fellow workers to await the word from the central committee at Moscow as a failure must not be risked. Simultaneously with the arrest here of M. Dronshilny all the members of the union of the employes of the posts and telegraph operators of Moscow with M. Kokhanowsky at their head were arrested at Moscow. Interior Minister Durnovo today is sued an official proclamation not only notifying all the post and telegraph employes that their failure to return to work tomorrow will be equivalent to their discharge but that all those who agitate for a continuance of the strike or are guilty of cutting or oth erwise destroying wires and apparatus will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. f i Vi C&BIF1ET r.lELlBERS Receive Their Seals and Are Formally Installed. London, Dec.ll. The liberal ministers composing the new cabinet received their seals of office and were formally installed at a meeting of the privy council in Buckingham palace at 3:30 this afternoon. The outgoing ministers surrendered the seals to the king at a meeting of the privy council held at noon. The ceremony was quite formal. A few persons gathered around the gates of the palace and watched the retiring ministers as they arrived on foot or in cabs but they were hardly distinguish able in the dense fog. Requisition for Pat Crowe. Des Moines, la., Dec. 11. Governor Cummins today issued a requisition for the return of Pat Crowe to Iowa for holding up a street car in Council Bluffs the night of July 2, 1905. A woman betrayed Crowe. Lillian C. Bolton, of Council Bluffs, in the hear ing for a requisition, alleged that she overheard Crowe telling others about the robbery. THE WEATHER IS WARM. Temperature Nearly Reaches 60 Mark This Afternoon. The cold wave which was announced for Saturday and which arrived true to the promises of the weather bureau has turned out to be a joke. For there is certainly nothing doing in the cold wave department today aa far as low ering temperatures and blustery weather are concerned. The day is as mild as "a day in June" or any other summer month for that matter, and the sun which seems to be streaming straight down heats as only a summer sun should. The sky is clear without a cloud to interrupt the sun's rays, and the indications are that as the day ad vances the temperature will continue to rise until uncomfortable will be the only expression which will describe the weather conditions. Sunday was a perfect day in every respect, warm and clear and with a breeze flavored with just enough tem perature to make the day bracing and pleasant beyond comparison. It was just such a day as tempts the busy city merchant to seek the woods for recreation and winds up in his break ing the game laws as he smuggles home a squirrel or two, with perhaps a little bird hidden away about his person. The hourly temperatures for today were: 7 o'clock 35 111 o'clock 48 8 o'clock 3 12 o'clock 55 9 o'clock 39 1 o'clock 57 10 o'clock 4 3 2 o'clock 5 The wind is blowing from the south at the rate of ten miles per hour. TiVCALL FINDS HIM. Son of the President ofXew York Ufe Confers With Hamilton. Paris, Dec. 11. John C. McCall, son of John A. McCall, president of the New York Life Insurance company, has ar rived here and has held a lengthy con ference with Andrew Hamilton, the for mer legislative agent. The result is still indecisive as the meetings continue. On the main point of Mr. Hamilton's return to New York, it is known that no de cision has been reached. Both parties decline to discuss the nature of the con ferences. Home Life Taken Vp. New York, Dec. 11. An investigation of the affairs of the Home Life Insur ance company of New York was taken up by the legislature investigation com mittee today. The first witness was George C. Ide, president of "that com pany. Mr. Ide said in making investments his company gives no commission to brokers. Personally he carried no life insurance, he said, but he thought some of the officials of his company may have received commissions on their own pol icies. He was asked by Charles E. Hughes, counsel for the committee to furnish a list of them. Mr. Ide said his company is paying a pension of $1,000 a year to a clerk who was employed since the foundation of he company and is rnnv unable to work. KILLED WRONG MAN.- William Payne Was Trying to Get Man Who Broke His Leg. Seneca, Kan., Dec. 11. Further de tails of the accidental murder In this city on Saturday night are now obtain able. The tragedy occurred about 8 o'clock in Will Payee's joint. Payne is So years of age and is peaceable. Pat rick Sweeney, a man about 45 years of age, and known generally as a hard character, went into Payne's place and started a fight. Payne interfered and tried to hush the melee. Sw-eeney grabbed Payne and threw him over the bar, breaking his leg. Payne reached up on a shelf for a re volver, and leveled it at Sweeney and pulled the trigger. Sweeney dodged, but the bullet struck Michael Carmon, a laborer, who was just entering the door, in the breast, causing instant death. Carmon was entirely innocent of any participation in the trouble. He was just coming into the place as the shot was fired. He was about 45 years of age and leaves a wife and family. Sweeney and Payne were both placed under arrest immediately and put into jail. Sweeney is noted for his quarrelsomeness. A short while ago he got into a cutting scrape and almost killed his antagonist. CALL FOR HELP. By Wireless Is Broken Off In Middle of Message. Newport, R. I., Dec. 11. A half finished message sent just before the batteries are supposed to have become exhausted, came here by wireless from the Nantucket lightship early today, asking for "help from anywhere." The message was timed 2 a. m. and was as follows: "Nantucket shoals lightship in dis tress. Send help from anywhere Here the message broke off. The United States gunboat Hist left here for the lightship at 3 a. m. today. The wind is west-northwest and moderate. The sea is subsiding. Repeated calls by the wireless oper ator here to the lightship were un answered during the forenoon, at the same time the station endeavored to pick up ocean steamers.

The United States Express company brought suit and the Shawnee county district eourt found la favor of the city. LLERS LINE UP. Oppose the Proposed Reduction in Grain Eates. Hint of Coencion by the Rail roads Is Given. SHIPPERS ABE COMING. Large Delegation Expected in Topeka Tomorrow. Will Be Present at Hearing Before the Board. It is frankly admitted by the mill ers of the state of Kansas that the railroads have resorted to threats to compel them to line up in opposition to the proposed reduction in grain rates, which case is to come before the board of railroad commissioners Tuesday morning. i. t i i,,ii''i' 3. Ji. Jonlt, One of the Loaders in the Fight for Lower Gram Rates. This startling fact was developed by the filing this morning of an interplea in the grain case by thirty-eight Kan sas millers. The attorney for the mill ers is John H. Atwood, wno has been fighting the battles of the railroad corporations before the state board of railroad commissioners, thougn nom inally employed by certain shippers. In this interplea the millers say, m speaking of the "milling in transit'" privilege accorded them by the rail roads: "These intervenors have been in formed, and believe, and so allege the fact to be, that a substantial reduction of the general grain freight rates in the state would occasion a withdrawal of the privilege aforesaid, and hence a destruction of their business." If the millers have thus "been in formed," it is certainly the railroads that have done the informing. The railroads have told them to get out and fight the proposed reduction in grain shipping rates if they would re tain tneir mining in transit privilege. The interplea goes on to say: "As an evidence of the fact that said rates are reasonable, we direct the board's attention to the fact that under the existing rates large milling indus tries and other industries incident to the grain business have been created and builded in the state of Kansas. That under existing conditions, the growth of such industries has gone on until it approximates today twenty-five million dollars: but with regard to the existing rreight rates upon grain in the state of Kansas, these intervenors do say that there is great intimacy be tween the rates upon raw grain and upon the manufactured product; that the mill owners and grain shippers have been accorded by the railroad companies what is known as the privi lege of milling in transit; that without this privilege it would be impossible for the milling, industry in this state to exist, and these intervenors have been informed, and believe, and so allege i me iacc 10 oe, mat a suDstantial reduc i tion of the general grain freight rates 1 in the state would occasion a with 1 drawal of the privilege aforesaid, and hence a destruction of their business." It is also cited that a development of the milling business is of importance i to the grain producers "because the presence in the state of the milling in dustry has caused grain prices paid the grain producers to average from three to rive cents higher per bushel than would otherwise be the case, and as a consequence of the existence of these facts, it follows that a destruction of the milling industries of the state would be productive of widespread injury. The companies which sign the enter plea are these: Alexander Milling company of Win field, Arkansas Milliri cpmpany of Ar kansas City, Aetna Mid Elevator com pany of Wellington, The Blaker Milling company of Pleasanton, the Central Kansas Milling company of Lyons, the Caldwell Milling company of Caldwell, the Eagle Milling company of Newton, the Forest Park Milling company of Ottawa, the Harper Mill Elevator company of Harper, the Hunter Milling company of Wellington, the Halstead Milling Elevator company of Hal stead, the Hutchinson Mill company of Hutchinson, the Chanute Milling com pany of Chanute, the Inman Mill com pany of Inman, the Lyons Milling com pany of Lyons, the Norwich Mill Elevator company of Norwich, the Mon arch Mill company, Hutchinson, the New Era Milling company of Arkansas City, the Newton Milling Elevator company of Newton, the Oswego Milling company of Oswego, thm Olathe Mill Elevator company of Olathe, the Phoe nix Roller Mills company of Edgerton, the Rhea-Patterson Milling company of Coffeyville, the M. Sauer Milling com pany of Cherryvale, the Wellington Mill Elevator company of vVelllngton, the Forsha Milling company of Forsha, the Huhmboldt Water Mills company of Humboldt Water Mills company of company of Great Bend, the Cramer Milling company of Anthony, the King man Milling company of Kingman, the Nickerson Milling company of Nicker son, the Sedan Milling company of Se dan, Emporia Water Mills company of Emporia, Eliinwood Mill Elevator company of Eliinwood, Janett MofEitt of Peabody, Wesley Best Sons, Colum bus, Larrabee Flour Mills company of Stafford, Universal Mills of Claflin. Petitions From Shippers Coming. It is evident, however, that the srrain shippers are not goins to allow the case pi M V to go by default Many of them are ex pected to arrive in Toneka Tuesday, and many will testify in the case. A few of the witnesses are on the ground today. The mail today brought a number of long petitions asking the board of rail road commissioners to grant a reduc tion in rates. These petitions are be ing handled by the Farmers' Independ ent Grain Dealers' association. One comes from Eliinwood, with 150 names; another from Claflin with 50 names. Personal letters from a number of an other parties have been received. One from the 120 stockholders in the Chase Grain Supply company, at Chase, Kan., urges a reduction in rates. The petition prepared by the Farm ers' Independent Grain Dealers' associ ation is as follows: "Whereas, The prosperity of the state of Kansas depends largely upon the prosperity of its farmers; and, "Whereas, The price of our ereal products is based on the price in for eign markets, less the cost of transpor tion, and "Whereas, As the state of Kansas is one vast plain, without serious diffi culties in railroad construction and with easy grades, abundant water and fuel, to assist in cheap transportation. "Whereas, The railroads transversing the state of Kansas, have persistently imposed a higher rate per mile or ton for the transportation of grain through Kansas than they are charging for the same service in other states; therefore, be i: "Resolved, That the Farmers' Inde pendent Grain Dealers' association of Kansas, and the farmers of Kansas generally, hereby most respectfully, but earnestly, request the honorable board of railroad commissioners to compel the railroads of Kansas to haul gram and grain products as cheaply in Kan sas as they are doing for the same ser vice in other states." Taylor Discusses Interplea. Carr Taylor, attorney for the board of commissioners, said today: "It seems from this interplea which has been filed that the railroads were able to get only thirty-eight out of all the millers in the state of Kansas to sign their remonstrance. It would appear that the millers are not to be so easily scared into submission. They are willing to let the grain shippers of the state fight their battle without the opposition of the millers. At least I hope this will prove to be the case. "I am getting dozens of letters about this case from all parts of the state, and I expect there will be a large crowd here to attend the hearing to morrow." J. S. Barnes, of Pratt, member of the legislature, and author of one of the laws concerning the construction of sidetracks to independent grain ele vators, said today. "The people out in my county are very much inteersted in the grain rate case, and some of them will be up here to testify. Everybody seems to think that Ufi state should get a re duction in the rates. I am interested in an elevator and mill myself, and yet I hope to see a reduction in rates." WILL BE ARRESTED. Warrants Issued for Express Company Agenta Today. Warrants for the arrest of C. L. Tra ver, agent for the Wells-Fargo Express company, Frank A. Lewis, agent for the Pacific Express company, and Geo. H. Lewis, agent for the United States Express company were Issued tnis morning upon the complaint of R. F. Clough, city license collector because of the non-compliance of the express com panies in paying a license tax. The complaints were drawn up by City Attorney F. G. Drenning. The express companies have been fighting the legality of the right of the city to tax them with a $100 vearly li cense tax. The case was tried in the police court first, and from there ap pealed to the district court. In both in stances the verdict handed down was in favor of the city and the express com panies ordered to pay the delinquent tax which for the three years now amounts to $900. The attorneys for the express com panies stated their intention of filing an appeal from the district to the su preme court. The appeal was filed Sat urday. City Attorney Drenning claims that the appeal should have been filed before and that time allotted for an ap peal has expired. "They have been dilly dallying along until their time to appeal has expired. The decision of the district court is the one that is now binding and under this they will have to pay up. I have prepared these war rants for their arrest and unless they pay up we will commit them to prison until they do. Do I expect that they will pay up? No I don't, I expect their attorneys, will adopt tactics for a de lay." said Drenning. Eugene Quinton. one of the attorneys for the Wells Fargo company said, "I don't think that the time set for an appeal has expired. There is nothing new in the case." SHE CAiE TO STAY.

Washington, Dec. 11. Single state hood for Oklahoma and Indian Ter ritories was promoted today in one of the most novel performances ever enacted in the national capitol build ing. A delegation, 150 strong, from these territories called to pay its re spects to Senator Beveridge, chairman of the committee on territories. The committee room would not accommo date all of the visitors, and the Sen ator received them in the corridor and addressed them there. The over flow occupied the stairs leading to the marble room, one of the semi-sacred precincts of the senate. Those sta tioned on this elevation led in cleer ing the senator, who complimented the people of the territories and promised they should not be disappointed in their desire for statehood.

GUILD MUSIC CO. 722 Kansas Avenue PIANO DEPARTMENT OPEN EVENINGS bMUiii it uimiiuLi Tpoeka Ministers Would Abolish Sunday Funerals. Preliminary Step Is Taken This 3Ioruinsr. COI1MITTEE TO- IlEPORT Decided to Jlecommend Adop tion of lieform. Formal Vote Will De Taken Next Monday. The Topeka Ministerial union will on next Monday, at its regular meet ing, issue a formal announcement in favor of the abolishment of Sunday fun erals in Topeka. The union had a special meeting this morning. The resolutions com mittee, consisting of Rev. W. M. Cleveland of the Third Presbyterian church, Rev. C. L. Lee of the yea brook Congregational cnurch, and Rev. J. W. Reed of the Kansas Ave nue Methodist church, met at 9 o'clock and decided to report favorably on the matter. But because the meeting of the union was special, for the purpose of looking over the matters pertaining to the church census, it was deemed advisable and more proper to wait and not present a resolution in the matter until next Monday morning, the date of the next regular meeting of the union. "There is no question in my mind." said Rev. W. M. Cleveland, the chair man of the committee, this morning:. "but that the ministers will on next Monday vote to abolish Sunday fu nerals. My committee will certainly present a resolution favoring such a step. All the ministers I have talked with view the matter the same way that we do. I know that the majority of the preachers favor the step. It is a very delicate matter, however. I do not know whether we shall come out boldly and say that we shall refuse to hold Sunday funerals, or whether we shail word the resolution so as to dis courage the practice so far as pos sible. That matter will have to rest with the union as a whole. I think, however, that the matter will be made very plain. There will be no beating sbout the bush. An ordinary person does not realize what. the Sunday fu nerals mean to us. Sometimes we are simply pushed beyond our capacity on the Sabbath day. By adding a fu neral to the regular Sabbath work it scarcely gives us enough time to go from one engagement, to another The majority of funerals could be held on some other day than Sunday. Some times it may be absolutely necessary to use that day, but such instances are very rare. "The reason we did not report the matter today is because this meeting is special, and then, too, we realize the publicity which a step of this kind is given, and consequently wish to be very careful how we word our action." L. M. Penwell, the owner of the Pen well undertaking establishment started the no Sunday funeral crusade' foi To peka. He outlined a plan to be agreed to toy the funeral directors, the ceme tery associations and the ministers. The latter were the first to take up the pro position arid they will report favorably in the matter. Their action is principal, because a pastor's relation to his parish ioners is a decidedly delicate matter and pne that must be handled very carefully. The funeral directors and the cemetery association wilt not even hold meetings to formally declare in favor of the abol ishment of the Sunday funeral. They have all advocated such a step for a Iwr time, and now since the preachers k ,e f rmation, nothing remains tta no r.g of representatives, of all i lo ,j and the drawing up aaii c 4 cZ a rsracm agreement. PPW There are very few towns in the Unit ed States which have adopted such a step, but agitation in its favor has been going on for years. At every annual meeting for ten years back of the Kan sas State Funeral Directors' association, a resolution has been passed favoring the abolishment of Sunday funerals, but nothing- ever came out of it, more than a crystallization of sentiment. Re cently in the city of Minneapolis, the ministers, funeral directors andcemetery associations got together and voted to hold no more funerals there on Sunday. The agreement is very pointed and is an absolute refusal to further continue the practice. When L M.. PenwtU of this city heard of the matter, he took hope, and presented the matter to the Topeka ministers. They will act favorably, and an un-written no-Sunday funeral ordi nance will be the order 'n this city in the course of the next two weeks or so. "I will get the undertakers together to elect a representative, and also the cemetery associations to elect one and have these meet with the Ministerial Union piobahly on next Monday," said L. M. Penwell this morning. "These matters must be handled with a great deal of tact and care. It is a delicate thing and must be cared for in that manner. I am glad that the ministers will affirm this contention which the funeral directors have long been advo cating. It is the right thing to do. As it now is the undertakers and the cem etery associations have no Sunday at all. We simply work all day. It will be a big relief to the ministers also. With all of their regular Sunday work they have practically as much as they can do. A funeral or two added during the afternoon simply taxes their time to its utmost limit." i POL1CK COURT NOTES. A drunken tramp giving his name of Charles Miller, was fined $25 in police court this morning for disorderly con duct. The tramp wss arrested for in decent language and actions before a little girl in North Topeka. James Cochrane and James Kearney, the two men who assaulted Frank Har rison at 2 o'clock Sunday morning, en tered a plea of guilty In police court this morning and were fined $10 each. They beat Harrison in the face and over the head with brass knukles or some other blunt weapon, until the vic tim looked like he had been through a boiler explosion.

Both women are employed at Warren's restaurant, at the north end of the Kansas avenue bridge. As the result of a quarrel Mrs. Montgomery slapped the Kline girl. No Arrests for Joint Fight. Robert Nailer of Wakarusa.who wa injured in a fight at the joint at 115 Hast Sixth avenue Saturday night, was patched up at Keith's hospital and went home. No arrests were made as the result of the fight, as Nailer and James Dixon, the two men beaten, made no complaint to the police. The fight started with Jesse James, a prize fighter, and two other men, who were armed with clubs, assisted him in the assault. Both Dixon and Nailer were badly beaten about the face and head. The joint at 115 East Sixth has a bad reputation and fights are frequent there. Mr. Snow in Topeka. Mr. Isaac B.

"After the matinee the other after noon," said the chaperon, "a first cousin of mine from Chicago, a man whom I had always regarded as more or less of a stupid, a commercialist, to coin a word, toog me to dinner after I had sent the young people home, of course. 'The creature will order steal;,' I thought, sadly, 'or ham and eggs, or something equally disgraceful and I shall be ruined forever in the estima tion of my favorite waiter." I waited, in th elast stage of depression till he bad scanned the menu. 'Suppose,' he said finally, looking up impatiently from the bill of fare, ,'we have well, some oysters and a glass of sherry, some cotelettes a la Reine, some broiled mushrooms on toast -md seme Chateau Lafitte; then a hot bird and a cold bottle, a bisque, black coffee and a creme de menthe.' "It was admirable! I could only gaze at him with open mouthed astonishment. 'Why,' I exclaimed, 'how enormous ly you have improved! I declare, I be lieve I find you almost endurable!" I could not helD but wonder where, how he had learned to order such a really clever little snack. "How I hate to be disenchanted! This afternoon I found it all in the middle of a current magazine story that dinner, precisely, word for word, ordered by one of the characters in the story, just as my cousin from Chicago ordered it.' He had read it. rehearsed it, got it pat and worked it off on me with a stupendous success. "It's a fakish old world." Washing ton Post. The Real Youth Lincoln. A great deal of nonsense has been written about his (Lincoln's) early years, and a grave effort has been made to prove him a youth of exceptional promise, a brilliant scholar, and a pro digy of application and industry. As a matter of fact, he did not begin to de velop mentally until he was about 18 even in the prime of life his intellectual processes were not quick and there is nothing to indicate that he was a par ticularly industrious boy. Five peda gogues two in his birthplace, Ken tucky, and three in Indiana share the honor of contributing to his elementary education; but had their pupil been never so gifted, they could scarcely have discovered it, for his schooling amounted to less than a year in ail about as long as it must have taken some of the minor biographers to col lect and record the pointless reminis cences of his alleged schoolmates. From Ferederick Trevor Hill's "Lincoln the Lawyer" in the December Century. He Was Disappointed. It was down at the free dinner given by the Volunteers of America. A dozen or fifteen dirty little newsboys were making savage onslaughts upon the viands heaped high upon their plates. The roast turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce and other dainties disappeared with astonishing rapidity, and then came dessert. "Gimme punkin' pie," yelled one en thusiastic youngster, pounding- upon the table with a "drumstick" to at tract the waiter's attention. The pie was brought. The lad look ed at it long and earnestly, and then inquired: "Sav, whe-e's de cheese? "There isn't any cheese, Johnny, lauahed the waiter. Wot'" wailed the disappointed voungster, "punkin' pie an' no cheese? What do youse tink of dat!" Los An geles Express. Captain Brown Is Dead. Pittsburg, Pa., Dec. 11.

SHALL LAWRENCE PAY IT Question Abont That $100,000 Debt to School Fund. Assistant Attorney General J. S. West went to Lawrence today to argue before the district court of Douglas county the old case involving the liability of Law rence to pay $100,000 worth of bonds now owned by the state school fund. The case was brought by L. C. Boyle when he was attorney general. It was not prosecuted, however, further than to secure a change of venue to Johnson oounty. This change was never record ed in Johnson county, and when Attor ney General Coleman revived the suit he allowed it to remain in Douglas county. The $100,000 in bonds were issued by Lawrence to secure the location of the State university at that town. After the city had paid interest on them equal to the principal the legislature sought to re lieve the town from paying the principal by passing a resolution. The state holds that this was impossible, as the consti tution provides that the school fund must never be diminished, and the $100,000 was invested from the school fund. The state will try to force Lawrence to pay the bonds. BCXCH FAMILY HAS SMALLPOX. They Are All Taken to the Detention Hospital. The city detention hospital is again occupied.

Grain Letter, View of the grain market furnished by Thomas J. Myers, broker, ground floor Columbian building, lopeka, ivan.i WHEAT The news during the past few day has been decidedly encouraging to believers in higher prices for wheat. The Liverpool and continental markets have all been showing increased strength. There has been received at primary points to date about 7 million bushels more than last year, but what is called the visible supply remains about the same. Ship ments continue light and exports, so far during tms crop year, nave been aDout ten times larger than last year. The world's consumption of wheat this year is breaking all former records, and this is the chief cause for mich higher prices. a i rncago correspondent says: "We are the exporters of finished man ufactured goods and consumers of our own raw products at home. Home la borers consume our wheat, while manu facturing iron, steel bridge, structural ana railroad equipment for England, Ger many and France. A few years ago we were exporting this wheat to feed those who manufactured these things in Eu rope, whence we imported them. Not to eomprenend tne effect of this double re versal of conditions is to be ignorant of our own strong and independent position. This change means at once the enrich ment of our people instead of the impov erishment and waste of our soil. Not to admit the beneficial results of this change is to miss tne opportunities tnat are open ins before you. Thev erive our waee- eearners the ability to buy. -our producers tne power to noia tor good prices, and our merchants big profits through ex change. All these operate together to prevent depression and guarantee suc cess to him who has courage to follow the unmistaKaDie signs ot the times. In my opinion there is not much risk on speculation in buying wheat at current prices. All you need is a little patience to expect higher prices later on. CORN The crop is fully 500 million bushels larger than last year. I -believe as soon as shipments began to move free ly the price will go down to 35 cents in Kansas City market and 40 cents in Chi cago, and it is not a low price, consider ing the size of the crop Just being gath ered. PROVISIONS If you deal in pork,, get it at one extreme or the other. If you are a bear I believe you will get a chance to sell it at a higher price than now pre vails. I don't believe hogs are scarce. STOCKS Indications are that railroad stocks will sell higher. United States Steel stocks are getting active and pros pects are that the next statement will be highly satisfactory and a big .speculative wave is likely to sweep over these shares and carry them to much higher prices. THOMAS J. MYERS. New Tork Stocks. Wall St., New York, Dec. It STOCKS Prices in the stock market opened gen erally higher, with conspicuous gains in special stocks, but there was a fair sprinkling of small losses, the most no table of which was Missouri Pacific with a decline of point.

The old adage, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy," applies just as wet to the stomach, one of the most important organs of the human system, as it does to the man himself If your stomach is worn out and re bels against beinp; taxed beyond its limit, the only sensible thin you can do is to (rive it a rest. Employ a sub stitute for a short time and see jf jt wiU not more than repay vou in re sults. Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are a wh.mg and most efficient substitute 1 hey themselves digest every bit of food m the stomach in just the same way that the stomach itself would' were it well. They contain ail the essentia elements that the gastric juice and other digestive fluids of the stomach contain and actually act inn the same and do just the same work us the stomach well and sound Thcv therefore, relieve the stomach. just As one workman relievos another, and permit it to rest and recuperate and regain its normal health and strength This "vacation" idea was, suggested by the letter of a prominent lawver ::i Cnieago.

A rainbow chase for footlight fame which began in Minneapolis, has ended in Kansas City, and two show weary girls have found the fairy gold is dross. For Lil lian Sheldon and Edna Bryson home and mother sounds far sweeter than the annlause of approving audiences, and the homely routine of daily housework more delightfully exciting than carry ing a spear in the chc.rus of a bur ksrtue show. Three months in the glare of the calcium has hastened ;i chastened spirit to the duo of disap pointed damseii that discounts any possible result of a four years' corres pondence school course of good advice. Never again for them will the fascina tions of stageland lure: the chorus girl proposition is down and the referee can count a hundred instead of the tradi tional ten if he cares to exercise his c ice. Miss Sheldon and Miss Bryson are. now in Kansas iCty eageily awaiting forgiveness from home which will in clude railroad tickets and expenses. These are two of the young ladies that "reformed and became converted" at Wichita. SUE PLEASE1 EMPORIA. Alice Xiclscii Given an Ovation by the Music Lovers. Empcria, Kan., Dee. 11.

Alice Nielsen received an ovation he e. She w as encored and repeatedly encored, being called back three times after the second act. At the end of the opera, which was Don Pasquale, the same she will sing at Topeka, she was requested to sing something in Kngiish and complied by rendering Tosti's "Good Bye" in such a beautiful manner that the audience was wild with delight and utterly refused to leave their seats until she favored them with another English selection, which request, after being called before the curtain thiee times, she complied with by giving 'Coming Through the Rye."

BilltJQflD Ilia It j Ol Coal Famine Threatened in Smaller Cities of State. This Is Because of Heavy Tragic on the Hallways. CAR SHORTAGE ALSO. Cold Snap Would Show That Operators Hare Been tapping. Gossip and JIatters of Interest in Hail road Circles. Because of the shortage of coal cars which is genera! on all of the roads and the fact that most of the railroads have about twice as much business than they are equipped to handle at this time of the year, the coal situation is a iittle precarious. A good many of the small sr cities and towns in this s-!ate and sur rounding territory stand a chance of suffering if cold weather of long dura tion should come. In Kansas tsxes are payable now with a small rebate if they are paid before December 20. In Missouri there is a pen alty if they are not paid by December 31. In both states the farmers must turn property amounting to several million dollars into cash for taxes. Even farmers of considerable means sell corn, wheat or hogs to pay taxes, and the poorer farmers always depend on sell ing something just before tax-paying time. The need of money for Christmas adds to the rush of farm products to j market. All of this builds up a big bus iness ror the railroads and loads' more cars than most roads have engines to handle. Accordingly motive power that could be used by the. roads in hauling coal is at present diverted to the traffic fur nished by the farmers, and the unusual ly pleasant weather of the last few weeks has made the coal dealers and the railroads a trifle careless in moving the winter supply of coal. Then again coal freight rates are low compared to the rates on grain and live stock, so that an engine and train crew will earn as much for a railroad m one day hauling, farm products as they will in two days haul ing coal, so the roads naturally- take care of the farm produc'i in preference to coal. For this reason there is an actual shortage of coal in a good many of the smaller towns and cities in Kansas and should a severe cold snap come the coal operators and the rr.ilroad superintend ents would be sitting up nights figuring how a sufficient supply of coal could be moved. XOT TO CUT OUT EREE PASSES. Western Presidents Are Not Willing Xow to Stop Tliem. Chicago, Dec. 11. Presidents of west ern railroads have not yet reached a point where they are willing to stop all free transportation for politicians and others whom they think can be useful to them. Nor will the load running from here to Pittsburg and, Buffalo fol low the example e the Pennsylvania di vision. Railroad presidents do not like to be quoted on the subject of passes: first, because they do not want to admit that passes are given, and then because they do not want to offend the politicians. The question is one only mentioned on the quiet. But railroad officials here say that no action has been taken to re duce the number of passes issued, r.or is such action contemplated. The issuance of passes between the western roads is regulated by the execu tive officers' pass agreement, which has been in effect for six years. Other free transportation, not given to secure busi ness, is regulated by the roads them selves. No such sweeping change as that in augurated by the Pennsylvania would be possible here without a conference of the presidents, resulting in common action bv all the roads. Several presi dents sa(l yesterday that there was small chance of such a conference bains held. a The free transportation issued bi tne Chicago toads is said to be no larger than can be taken care of in the regular cars without additional equipment or additional expense. NEGROES WORK UXOER RIFLE Unusual Means Necessary to Keep Railroad Laborers Kasy. 4,-kansas City. Kan.. Dec. lb-There was. a most unusual sight at Powell s camp on the .Midland Valley railroad grade one day last week, according to the report of a man who was down there, and it was nothing less than an old man with a Winchester rifle driving' a bmicn ot 15 rieeroes to work. The nesrocs had bee;, imported from Kansas Citv and it had cost the contrac tors about :.30 a. head to get them there fter tiiev had landed at camp and had their supper, lodging and breakfast, they concluded they would not go to work and started out across the country lor the nearest settlement. The foreman of the gang, who is an eldorlv white man. concluded that the contractor was too much out on their fare to allow them to get away. He or dered thorn to stop. They refused to obey and he went alter them. He got out his Winchester and repeated the. order. This time it was obeved and the negroes start ed to work. Tiiev will be kept at it un til tliev at least w"0rk out the amounts they have already cost the contractor. DROP C. A. PROCEEDINGS. Suit to Annul Its Charter Has Been Abandoned. Chicago, Doc 11. Information has been aiv.n out by the attorneys for the Chic-aero and Alton that quo warranto pro ceedings would not be brought against th'"- railroad for annulment of its charter some dav this week as scheduled. To a certain extent this information was dis counted by State's Attorney Healy. who declared that he had not been notified of the abandonment of the contemplated nroceedings. Ralph M. Shaw, one of the attorneys for the Alton, made the statement today i Cinrn Sbmli j Quarter cea, with tie 1oo I 1SCIHTS IACH; 2 FOB A QCAtUg CLUITT,PIAODfCO. i M!ter of Cluert and Monarch Shins that whatever differences the Alton had with Its stockholders had been settled, and that no lf;gal proceedings will be brought. The first intimation that the Alton's charter was to be attacked in the courts on the ground of overcapitalization came last summer, when W. R. Crawford, son of Henry Crawford, the capitalist, and Julius Johnson, his attorney, held a. con ference with State's Attorney Healy and Mr. Shaw. At that time. Mr. Healy said that nothing would be done until after the summer vacation. Again tbo rumors cropped out on November Z'X and again the attorneys for the Alton made strenu ous efforts to discount them, but from other sources came tire information that the date for beginning the proceedings had been set for this week. TURBINE LOCOMOTIVES. They Are Being- Perfected and Will Soon Be in Use on Roads. The successful and extensive appli cation of the steam turbine to most of the purposes for which the reciprocat ing steam engine is used has led engi neers to speculate upon the posr-ibility of its use as a locomotive engine, and several designs for such an application by prominent builders have already ap peared in foreign technical journals, says the Railway Age. The principal objection to the usual design for the simple engine in locomo tives is the destructive effect of the counterbalance for the reciprocating parts at high speed, which is damaging to the track and to the engine. There is also the wear and exjiense for re pairs, much of it due to the constant iping and starting- of the piston crosshead and value twice during every revolution. The former objection, re lating to counterbalance, is successful ly overcome by the use of four cylin ders with pistons arranged so that the reciprocating parts balance each other, but it is at the expenses of a duplica tion of parts which still retain the longitudinal motion of piston and crosshead, and the expense for the re pairs of these parts must increase, with the number. There is also the con stant uncertainty of the crank axle with the restricted surface of the main rod bearings and the inaccessibility of bearings when they require removal for the adjustment of wear or on ac count of heating-. Although the four-cylinder balanced locomotive is a marked improvement in its operation, In the matter of main tenance and repairs it must of neces sity be a more expensive machine. At present it is regarded by many as the ultimate improvement in the steam lo comotive, and its final form before giv ing away to the electric motor. The advantages of the rotary engine in having a uniform turning moment, perfect balance, simplicity and fewer moving parts and its ready adaptation to high speed, appeal to engineers as attractive features in the further im provement of the steam locomotive for competition with its electric rival. "The most favorable conditions for the steam turbine are high velocity, constant speed and revolution in one direction. In its application for driv ing electric generators these conditions are easily met and appear to be a nat ural development. The steam locomo tive, however, requires the engine to work under conditions entirely oppo site to all these; that is" It must have a variable speed, much of its work done at slow speed, and it must be reversi ble. A reversible turbine has been de veloped in connecilon with its use for marine purposes and It is now in suc cessful operation. The most difficult feature in the ap plication of the turbine to the locomo tive is the possibility of getting a maximum turning moment for start ing and one of sufficient magnitude to develop a high tractive power at slow speed. This must be) combined with economical operation at high speed, and thus far steam turbines have not been developed along these lines. The conditions of engine load in marine service are somewhat similar to those in the motive power for railroads, and the principles employed in the modi fications of the marine turbine, which enable it to handle variable loads econ omically, may be applied to the loco motive. On steamships a slow-speed, medium pressure, cruising turbine is inserted in front of the main high-speed turbine. For a heavy load corresponding to the starting of a train by a locomotive, both turbines are supplied with high pressure steam. It is quite probable, therefore, that the turbine locomotive will employ the compound principle and include a number of turbines so as to secure a superior economy under variable conditions of speed and load. What a happy man the future mo tive power superintendent will be. when it is only necessary to turn steam on the buzz wheel and the train starts off! There will then be no pounding of driving boxes nor of rods, no guides to be lubricated and kept in adjust ment, no slide valves, with their wear and cutting and imperfect perform ance. Should the turbine require re pairs the drop table will remove driv ing wheels, engine and all, and a new- set will replace them within the same hour. A successful turbine locomotive will make the competition of the elec tric locomotive still more difficult, and it is possible that in this new form the steam locomotive will continue in use for many years to come. PULLING l'OR GALVESTON. Big Four Officials Say It Will Be Sea port or America, in len icais.. Galveston, Tex.. Dec. 11. Three of the passenger traffic officials of the Big Four were in Galveston last week. They were Assistant General Passenger Agent C. L. Hilleary of St. Louis, Trav eling Passenger Agent J. M. Stone, w ith headquarters at Dallas, and Com mercial Agent Joseph Rankin of Dal las. They were here mainly for the purpose of keeping up old acquaint ances with the railroad men of this city. While here Mr. Hilleary went out over the city in company with sec retary Gardner of the Business League and other friends, and upon his return ventured the belief that within ten years Galveston will be the greatest port in the United States. "New York has been forced to recog nize you." said he. "Philadelphia and Baltimore did all they could to keep the approaching conditions from com ing about, but now it is only a ques tion of time, not in five years, perhaps, but in ten years. I believe, when Gal veston will lead ail the ports of Amer ica." ORIENT HOUTE LOCATED. Eniiineers Complete Pinal Survey to Pacific Co:!st. Kansas City. Mo.. Dec. 11.

Big Improvement to Santa Ee Property at Albuquerque Under Way. Albuquerque, N. M.. Dee. 11 The freight yards of the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe Railway company are to be moved far south from their present loca tion and the nuisance of switching across Railroad avenue is to be done away with. Work on this big change has already begun, a force of men hav ing been detailed on the preliminary work last week and this force was aug mented by a big gang today, wno vcnt at the work of chan-riu j the tracks and this work is to be. complete-! as speedily as possible without interferinc- too ser iously with the slutting cf ens in the yards. James E. Hurley, jrensral manager of the road, and R. J. ParJter, superintend ent of the western lesion, wore here on Friday and Saturday to supervise the beginning of the work It is the intention to move the main freight yards south of the wate- tank and the main line is to be double tracked as far north as the brewery. Four tracks are to remaik opposite the Al varado and Santa Fe station, exclusive ly for passenger trains. South of the shops the tracks are to be elevated eigh teen inches all the way to the stock yards. The improvement which will require the expenditure of a great deal of money will be one of the best changes which has been made by the Santa Fe in Albuquerque since the beautiful Al varado and the present station were erected. The change that will be most appreci ated by the people of the city will be the abating of the nuisance of switching across the Railroad avenue crossing. With the present arrangement of tracks it has been very difficult for the rail way employes to keep from obstructing traffic more or less at all hours V the day and frequently travel up and down the city's main thoroughfare has been seriously embarrassed thereby. The crossing has long been a menace to the safety of the public although there have been remarkably few accidents. The removal of the freight switching from the crossing will add greatly to the appearance of Railroad avenue and en hance the value of property in that vicinity. This is but one step, however, in the program of improvements laid out by the company for the Santa Fe proper ties at th'5 point. The appropriation for the enlargement of the big shops and the subsequent in crease in equipment is one of the big gest items in the big budget for better ments on the Atchison in the southwest. After the change in the local trackage other changes are expected to follow fast. They include a large new all steel water tank, new ice houses, a handsome new reading: room and library building and others too numerous to mention. WICHITA ENTHUSIASTIC.

Tiie meeting was attended by 50 delegates. The resolution adopted declares that "an in terference with the earning power of the railroads will be detrimental to the rail road employes, would make harder the conditions now existing, and would be used as a bar against any future move ment on our part for betterment of wages or conditions."

Russia really exhibits a good deal of nerve to try to obscure Washington at m. time like this Following the example congress had et itself, the president handed it no bouquets in his messace. Mr. J. P. Morgan is apt to be very careful to examine the goods before he makes any purchases in the future. Xoir that Senator Depew has resigned from the Equitable, he is a director in only sixty-nine other corporations. The United States Steel corporation !s to have a new president. The steel trust seems to have trouble getting a president to suit it. It would not be nt all surprising if Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan already has his plans laid to. get that $6,000,000 back from some other fellow. The discovery has been announced that those eggs that were wasted on Tjernhardt's party were storage eggs and not cold storage eggs either. .1 luiibtless the club women are sur prised to find nothing about them in the president's message. Now if Mr. Cleveland had written it The president has declared against decreasing the size of the navy, and right on the heels of that declaration Secretary Bonaparte advocates Tearing the old "Constitution" to :s h It may be true that the Northwest passage has been discovered, but it isn't likely to become a popular route to Asia as it was once supposed it would be. Boston holds up its hands aghast at the proposition of Secretary Bona parte to use the hull of the old "Con stitution' as n naval target. It seems to think this would be violating the "i 'oustitution." There ias a strike at the Pennsyl vania state college recently, but it was promptly settled by the- college au thorities. The college authorities should send their recipe to the czar and Witte. The people are applauding Chauneey Depcw's- resignation from the Equitable so vigorously that perhaps he may take it for an encore and respond by resign ing from the senate.

It Isn't hard to figure where the Demo crats are to make their gain. What, are we to understand by this in the Chicago News: "New York wants it distinctly understood that it isn't Kan sas. That is why it wants its United States senators to resign." Does that mean that the News has been getting its Ideas of Kansas sentiment from Frank Grimes? Governor LaFollette said his con science would not, for some time, allow lihu to accept the senatorship. Are we to understand from that that he laid his conscience away out of sight where it could not object when he finally de cided to go to Washington? The trouble with the United States senate is that too many of its members have disposed of their consciences before going to Washington, and better things were hop-d of LaFollette.

There are undoubtedly two ways of looking at most of the indictments con cerning public lands that have been brought by the federal grand ;ury in Topeka recently. While these are spoken of as land frauds, only a few of them are lealiy fraud cases those in which frauds have been practice 1 !n se.-urjng title to public land. persons guilty of these crimes should, of course, be severely punished. Most of the indictments, however, have been for fencing public lands lands open to homestead, and to which the cattlemen fencins it in have no claim. This is not a fraud, but simply a misdemeanor in violation of law. The defense of the cattlemen is that they own all the territory surrounding the government land and that they sim ply fence their own property; that they cannot help it if the government land happens to lie inside cf theirs; thxt the government land as a rule is not rrcod for anything except grazing and would not be homesteaded even if it were -not fenced. Some of them also assert that they have been assured by government inspectors that they would not be prose cuted for fencing public lands without first having been given due notice to take their fences down. This is the cattlemen's side of the case, but the Tact remains that they were openly violating the law, and they knew they were. They have r.o right to assume that the government hind would not be homesteaded If it were not fenced it does not belong to them and they have no more right to it than though it belonged to a private individual. The Berry traged in Cheyenne coun ty was largely the result of fencing pub lic lands within the' Dewey ranch lands on wheh the Berry family settled. Trouble necessarily followed. Govern ment land inside of a big ranch pasture would need to be of considerable value to tempt the average man to homestead it and risk having:, trouble with the wealthy land owner who has it entirely surrounded with his own. lands and fences. If a- ranch owner has been promised immunity from prosecution by a. govern ment official, that is a matter for the court to take into consideration in try ing the case. The fact remains that the law has been violated. The only right way to do is to respect and obey the law. The cattleman who does that will have no trouble with the government. TOPEKA AND THE GAS BELT. The Commercial club of Topeka is orfering free gas for a year to all fac tories located there. The gas is from the Kansas Natural nmins and comes from Montgomery county. This is the same gas which lite Topeka papers yelled so loudly last year should be sent throughout the state for the pur pose of reducing the price of the "poor man's fuel.'' The residents of the county where the gas was in use and where it. was discovered and de veloped with their money, at their risk, are to see the product of their daring sent to TopeKa, not for the "poor man's fuel." but for the rich man's greed. And a lot of legislators who cared nothing for the equities in the case prevented the passage of a bill to prevent it. ill the people ever elect a legislature that will pass honest laws? Iola Record. Isn't the Record's memory a trifle overheated? As the State journal re members the controversy about piping gas last year, the gas belt people said they had no objection to piping it within the state, but they did object to piping it over to Missouri. The rallying cry was "Kansas gas for Kan sos," and as Topeka is in Kansas it naturally s'upposed it is is entitled to natural gas, providing it is willing to pay the price. If the State Journal is not mistaken numerous gentlemen, not only in To- peka but also from other parts of the state, have put both money and labor into the gas belt, developing the fields, and it is difficult to see how it is "the product of the daring" of the people of Montgomery, or any. other single county. The gas belt still has a tremendous advantage over towns which have to depend on piped gas. Down there gas is almost free, while Topeka has to pay twenty-five cents a thousand feet for it for household use and fifteen cents for manufacturing purpose.". Why should the gas belt begrudge us the use of a little of its products, inas much as we are willing to pay for it? AS TO VENE7AELA. One of the subject? which has been before the American people to a con siderable extent during the last three or four years is our controversy or supposed controversy -with Venezuela, and it is a matter of some moment that not a word concerning this sub ject appears in the presidents mes sage. This is taken to mean that our alleged difficulties with Castro's coun try have been disposed of, for which the American people will be extremely grateful. The Washington Post, in discussing this matter says: "An interesting and significant fea ture of the president's message is to be found in the careful, almost osten tatious, industry with which it ignores Venezuela. For two or three years past, and up to the moment of Mr. Root's assumption of the portfolio of state, Venezuela has been a burning issue. During the Hay regime, with 'Loomis, acting,' to the: fore, we were scowling at Venezuela almost con stantly. It is not too much to say. in deed, that we contracted the habit of threatening Castro and. promising him hostile ultimatums and naval demon strations any fine morning you might name. We nursed in our affectionate arms the bleeding martyrs of the New York asphalt trust. Their wounds were ours. Their wrongs ranked in a iiosom which but no matter now. Castro was a devastating tyrant. Our adventurers In Venezuela were the pathetic victims of his wickedness. XewsoaDer correspondents enjoying the confidence of the state department told their papers every day that some thing dreadful would, happen right away, if not sooner, and the always credulous and complacent home editor reproduced the oracle under glowering headlines. Yet. now the president, after careful contemplation of the fads submitted to him by intelligent and honest menr omits Venezuela in the formulation of his deliberate horo- cope. And there we are! The lnol- dent closed -honorably, thank and the country has reason heaven to rejoice in the fact that President Roosevelt at last has at his elbow an adviser who wants the light- and knows how to turn it on." JOVIUUL ENTRIES The season is rarddlv annronehine- when the well-meaning individual is ioon,-iu enougn 10 consent to act as an amateur Santa Claus. Won't be. lonsr now tin fbe little Theodore It. Smiths, and Browns, and Joneses, and Johnsons will be start ing to school. When a man marries his stenog rapher he is no longer able to dictate to her. For some reason or other the nrpsi. dent also forgot to mention in his message the muzzle that he has fitted on the cabinet. Some surprise is occasioned that the chaplain of the senate should have neen re-elected in view of the poor job he has done in reforming that body. But then it must be remembered that the senate itself elected him.

One thing is sure: We will never be a candidate tor reading clerk in the Russian douma. Think of callintr the roll! Judging from the present situation in Russia, it is not at all improbable that the czar, after he has put the cat out and locked the palace door. also looks under the bed. You will notice that some of the hie- colleges are picking out their next year's bruisers just as though football is not to be reformed.

The Fifty-ninth congress assembled yesterday with a. large Republican ma jority, in which it is impossible not to take satisfaction as an evidence of the people's trust in the party and its policies, but which from other points of view is not without its disadvantages. Speaker Cannon's short address acknowledging his deserved re-election, after piomising faithful and impartial performance of dutv on his part, justly enforced upon the minds of the members their duty to attend to business and make the session a success. It not infrequently happens in legislative bodies that a small majority is really more competent to transact business than a very large one, because under a greater sense of responsibility.

It is so fatally easy for a misunder standing, to arise. Johnson, galloping swiftly through the long lane of overhanging June green, was musing somewhat bitterly upon this fact. It was over a month now since be bad seen Helen Grannis. A month which had done a great deal toward quickening a spark, hitherto not entirely recognized, into a vivid flame. He had tried to see her but un successfully, and now bis thoughts were brooding as so often before, over that last unfortunate meeting. Was he to blame or she? Yet how could the fault be his? Once again he went back, mentally, to the beginning; that day when he had telegraphed t0 as( j ghe would ride. They had often spoken of so do ing, and this had been his first oppor tunity. The answer had been that she would be at the club at 4 o'clock. Johnson, promptness itself, cantered over from the stable at 4. precisely. There he waited. He waited until half after four; he waited until quarter of five. There was no sign of Miss Gran nis. At last, reluctantly, he rode to wards the rark, wondering what could have happened. The first person ho met, walking her horse slowly down the main drive in the direction of the gate, was the girl herself and with her, talking eagerly, was Ransome Sinclair. The man of all others whom Johnson most detested. For a moment Johnson had stared, really incredulous, unable to trust his eyes. Then, with a formal lifting of his hat, he was past, the dark red mount ing to his cheek, and rage in his soul. Had she forgotten the engagement? Or had she, deliberately thrown him over for Sinclair? Sinclair with his mil lions, who could give her everything. In the sudden blackness revealed by the flash of Jealousy, Johnson realized for the first time how much this slen der, dainty girl, with her pretty little air of stateliness meant to him. He had hardly gone a mile before the impulse which had made him bow and pass on looked the height of ridiculousness. Of course there was some mistake. Why had he not stopped and asked? But although he turned at once, it was too late; the two had vanished. He had telephoned that night. Miss Grannis was out for dinner. He had called the next afternoon. Miss Gran nis was not at home. He could not write, for there was nothing to say. tine could not ask a lady why she had chosen to riele with another. The week after when he tried calling once more, the house was closed. He found that the family had departed for their country place. Johnson was in despair. But it was not entirely a bad thing for him; it taught him a lot. As he turned in now at the New lands place, and dropped off his horse, some one moving down by the tejinis court suddenly brought tils heart into his mouth. Could it be she? He knew that Miss Grannis and Ida New lands were great friends. Was it pos sible she might be stopping here for a week end? With tingling pulses he went forward. It was it was'. And he might never have known! Some how he managed to answer properly the greetings of Ida and the men grouperl about, then he turned to Miss Grannis. He was unreasonable enough to be disappointed when the girl gave him merely a conventional smile. He felt that he was the one with the right to be angry; Ida Newlands looked sharp ly at them both. She knew Helen Grannis well enough to divine that something had occurred. Now, as s-he saw Johnson, after a moment, turn aside, her nimble wit leaped to a sudden guess at the truth. And as she caught Johnson's flush as Sinclair came across the lawn, her conviction deepened. But what could be done? In this last month Sinclair had been pushing his advance hard. She knew that Helen was wavering. Ida did not fancy Sinclair, it was her brother who had asked him today. And she did like Jolinsor.. With a swift" inspiration she jumped to her leet. "Let's have some tennis," she ex claimed. "Helen. I will challenge you and Mr. Johnson to try to beat Mr. Sinclair anil myself. Here's your raccjuet." pretending not to see the girl's reluctance. It was the only way she could think of to bring them to gether. Johnson could put up a strong game. He was tall, with long legs and arms that seemed to cwver every corner of the court. And Helen had a clean, telling stroke. Sinclair, how ever, was no mean adversary; they would have to play up. But Johnson was not thinking of tennis. This was his chance. He must make the most of it before she joined that chattering group. As he brought the balls to Miss Grannis for her service, he looked down at her for a moment. "Why did you not come to the club that day?" he asked abruptly. "I waited, and waited "Waited!" echoed the girl. "Why "Ready" interrupted Sinclair, and Helen Hashed a ball over the net. Johnson, his heart beginning to beat fast, tightened the grip on his racquet. There had been surprise, unmistak able surprise, iu Helen's eyes. "Eid you not expect me to meet you at the club?" he demanded as they changed courts. "You lost that point," was the im patient response. "No, of course not. 1 always mount at the park entrance." "But the maid said" persisted Johnson. "Then the maid was mistaken. Ah, be careful." as he nearly missed a re turned ball. A strange desire not to be beaten had suddenly sprung to life in her breast. They must win this set, she and Johnson; they must not be beaten by Sinclair. She looked across the net at his red. rather heavy face. Could she marry him? Her family had hoperl for it; he was a splendid match, of course and yet what did Harry Johnson mean by asking why she had not come to the club? She had told the maid to say that she would be at the park en trance and then to telephone the club for her horse. "Waited there an hour," said Johnson. "And then to meet you coining out of the park with another man. What could I think?" "Ah," said the girl with a quick, in drawn breath. Couldn't he have known that she was only walking her horse up and down while she waited? The meeting with Sinclair had been pure chance. She, too, had waited, growing more and more annoyed with the awkward position in which she found herself. Annoyed also by Sin clair's veiled remarks upon Johnson's tardiness, his polite wonder. And then to have Johnson appear, raise his hat and pass on! The girl bit her lip again at the memory. Then suddenly as she caught the look in his eager, earnest eyes, her own softened. After all, he had a bad time, too. And all through that stupid Marie's having the messages confused. With an impulsive gesture she turned. "Do -play." she exclaimed. "we must get this set." Sinclair. rather sulky hi. uem forced to play on a hot Rfternoon. had hitherto not chosen to exert himself, letting the games go to his adver saries. But now he was beginning to be Interested. If they were to win, Johnson must concentrate. And John son, all at once infected by something in the girl's manner straightened him self. The other side should not win a single game. Love three, love four! Sinclair, subtly aware of an unwonted tension in the air. strove his utmost, unavailingly. Johnson, his mouth shut hard, played as though muscled with steel. Love five! Helen was breathless, her lips parted. Love six! Set! With a great sigh Johnson faced her. "We've won." he whispered exult antly, just loud enough for her to hear. Helen, her eyes unfathomable, glanced for a moment across at Sin clair Sinclair, with his millions, then the sweetest, tenderest smile curving her mobile mouth, she lifted her face to Johnson. "Yes." she said softly "a Love Match." (Copyright, 1905, by P. C. Eastment.) Everybody works but mother, She gads around all day, Goes to the women's meetings And takes in the matinee.

The or ganization had therefore about con cluded to nominate Richter for lieu tenant coventor, a piaee which he was then holding. But when he agreed to Senator Burton's proposition, and agreed to stand for the senator's deser tion of Tomlinsc r,, the organization at once decided to beat Richter, and this vas done. Xow conies the seouel; The presi dent did not appoint Richter marshal in Indian Territory: neither did he ap point Tomlinson; and the job went to a man in Indian Territory-. SoTomlin lost one position, and Richter lost the chance of fith-:- one of two. Tomlinson continued to practice law a; Mir.neaDolis for some time, and re cently removed to Independence where lie has been successful. He was here last week on business connected with the postoffice department. It was some time before Richter re covered himself from the blow; but has done so sufficiently bv now as to be rble facetiously to refer to hew close he came to being- marshal in In d'au Territory. Rot there w as still later a time when Richter felt the disadvantage of having Senator Burton in patronage matters, so far as he was concerned. Shortly after the Wichita convention, during th campaign of 1!H.', lattletjeld s CniTii. VnitPd States marshal for Kan- 4.- J t.,,,1:1 1 f, U I f i. r sas. died. Richter confidently expected that Burton, having- once failed in get ting a I "nited Estates marshalship for hint, would now do so, having, at last, the entire say so in regard to the mat ter. But it is said that Senator Bur ton did not even consider the Morris county statesman; but picked on W. H. Mackey. jr.. of Junction City, and made him marshal instead. This interesting little bit of political history is revived by the presence here of Tomlinson. FOUR mi CARDINALS. I!ev. T. -M urstharert Is Made Bishop of Oklahoma. Home, Dee. '11. The pope today held a secret consistory, which was the second of his pontificate, in which he created new cardinals and appar ently showed a tendency to have a better equilibrium between the for eign and Italian elements in the sacred college, as three of the four new cardinals are foreigners. The ceremony was performed with the usual pomp. Nearly thirty, car dinals were present. The pontiff ap peared walking and preceded, sur rounded and followed by the gorgeous pontifical court. Then all withdrew except the members of the sacred col lege and the pope reaa h;s allocution. In it he said he wished he could give the cardinals pleasant and consoling news, but the conditions at the present time do not permit of consolation. Although, he continued, the Catholic faith is spreading more and more throughout the world. especially in dissident countries, on turning towards Catholic nations one feels sadness" and fear lest the prediction of Scriptures is being verified, that the kingdom of the- Lord will he removed to other people whe it will produce good fruit. Kspecial care and anxiety may be felt .for the country heretofore called the eldest daughter of the church, but concerning the anti Catholie laws passed there against the laws of justice, the pope said he would speak in accordance with his apos tolic office more gravely and more fully at an opportune time. lie ex horted the cardinals to prayer, recalling- that the Lord will cause trans quillity and peace to shine forth at the proper time. The pontiff ended with saying that he intends to honor the whole Latin American race by creating for the first time a cardinal belonging to that part of the world. Immediately after reading his allo cution he created the following car dina Is: The most Rev. Josep-i Pamuza, archbishop of Krlau. Hungary. Monsignor Spinola, archbishop of Seville. Monsignor J. A. DeArcoverd De Al buquerque Cavalanti, archbishop of Rio Janeiro. Monsignor Cagaino de Azevedo, major domo of the Vatican. The cardinals asserted that, con trary to the popular impression, the pope did not create a filth cardinal, but reserved the appointment in pec tore. Later the pope appointed a number of bishops, including the following: The Rev. G. Barin, bishop of Xu reva Cacerez. Philippine islands: the Rev. T. Murscharet, bishop of Okla homa; the Rev. T. Bronim, formerly bishop of Dallas. Tex., titular bishon of Cassora. and the Rev. A. Shinner. vicar general of Milwaukee, bishop of Lake Superior. Michigan. Monsignor X'ozaleda. formerly arch bishop of Manila. afterwards arch bishop of Valencia, which post he re signed, was nominated titular arch bishop of Petra. ROOSEVELT WRITES.

"I believe that we are on the eve of a world-wide revival.' said Dr. W. C. Evans at the union meeting of the churches in the Auditorium Sunday afternoon. "I believe that, the evangelistic movement which began in XTew Jer sey will. spread until it sweeps from the Atlantic to the Pacific. I rejoice as I have seldom rejoiced to have bad such a share in the beginning of so great a movement. "I rejoice that I have had an op portunity to participate and he a part of that great movement in Xv Jer sey and I rejoice with you here to think that the initiative of this work took place in. Topeka.." The main part of the afternoon was taken up with a report which Dr. Evans made of the revival meetings in which he participated in New Jer sey. Back of this is the idea of fos tering and keeping alive the spirit of evangelism which was. aroused by Dr. Chapman during his services; hero during October last. The union meet ings will probably be held ttuarterly and ol'tener as the wisdom of the Min isterial union, under whose auspices they are given, may dictate. "My report will have to be a per sonal one as it is only of those experi ences which came directly under my observation that I can speak of." said Dr. Evans. "For this you will have to pardon me. It was certainly won derful to think of the way that large city of X'ewark of 2g0,00U population was swept with the spirit of evan gelism. One of the theaters had to close because interest was attracted another way: a charity ball, which is one of the great society events, had to be postponed after a deliberation of four days was held as to what course should be pursued. "Cards were sent around and the an nouncement was made that the ball would not be given until in January because they feared that the ball would not be a success with interest diverted in ether channels. This is the first in stance I have heard of a thing of this kind taking place and I consider it a wonderful one. "The interest which attended all the meetings was something intense. At one meeting in one of the largest churches in the city, about 1,200 were gathered together in the Auditorium of the church, several hundred more were in the basement while 1,000 more were standing about on the outside in a driz zling rain because they couldn't get in to the building. They were addressed there and thus three meetings were be being held at one place. "Dr. Chapman is greater than any church. He is the one strong dominant power in the religious life of the United Sjiates. "I am here to plead with you this af ternoon in the interest of my fellow THE TEA PENALTY A Strong Man's Experience. Writing from a busy railroad town the wife of an employe of one of the great roads says: "My husband is a railroad man who has been so much benefited by the use of Postum Food Coffee that he wishes me to express his thanks to you for the good you have done him. His waking hours ,.re taken up with his work, and he has no time to write himself. "He has been a great tea drinker all his life and has always liked it strong. "Tea has. of late years, acted on him like morphine does upon most people. At first it soothed him, but only for an hour cr so, then it began to affect his I ll"l OS to sneii an extent mat. lie couiu iiiot sleep at night, and he would go to ihis work in the morning wretched and j miserable from the loss of rest. This condition grew constantly worse, until his friends persuaded him. some four months ago, to quit tea and use Postum. "At first he used Postum only for breakfast, but as he liked the taste of it. and it somehow seemed to do him good, he added it to his evening meal. Then, as he grew better, he began to drink it for bis noon meal, and now he will drink nothing else at table. "His condition is so wonderfully im- j proved during- these four months that lie count not be nirea to give up Pos tum and go back to tea. His nerves have become steady and reliable once more, and his sleep is easy, natural land refreshing. He owes all this to I Postum for he has taken no medicine land made no other change in his diet.

A telegram which was sent to the meeting from Dr. Chapman was read. It follows: "All evangelists send greet ings, work progresses with great power; hundreds converted last night." The attendance at the union service was good. About 2.S00 gathered togeth er on the first floor and the balcony. The chorus which was organized during the revival meetings together with the cichestra which participated at that time furnished the music for the meet ing. The pipe organ was presided over b- W'. F.

The Journal of Commerce today says: "The city of Xew York from a fire protection standpoint is in a very seri- us condition as is shown by the just completed report uf the committee of twenty. of the national hoard of fire un derwriters. There are svera.l vital de fects in the various branches of the Are department and water supply which at any time might in combina tion may form a very grave menace to the greater part of the city. With its vast congestion of values and narrow and obstructed streets in the business section, taken in connection with a dangerously unreliable lire alarm sys tem, insufficient water supply and poor distribution, causing extremely low pressure in some localities, antiquated and defctive hydrants, absence of suf ficient number of fire engines and in efficiency of some of those in use, there is decided opportunity for sweeping conflagration in this city. The com mittee's engineers have completed a very careful examination of the entire city and the result of their findings is confirmed, by Captain John Stephen Sewed of the corps of engineers. U. S. A., who was detailed by President Roosevelt to assist in the work of the committee. Captain Sewell savs in part: "The type and occupancy of build ings prevailing- in the worst sections, their mutual exposures, the narrowness of streets, inadequacy of water supply and distribution together with the enormous values involved, combine to make of the situation in Manhattan by far the most serious fire and conflagra tion hazard I have even seen. The conclusion is inevitable that the mag nificent personnel of the tire depart ment has been the only thing that has prevented sweeping conflagrations in the past. The existing physical con ditions, not to mention inefficient en gines anrl a deteriorated alarm system, constitute a handicap under which anv mere human agency, however perfect, must ultimately fall. "In view of the enormous interest involved and the almost international character of the catastrophe which would be represented by a sweeping conflagration in Manhattan, no time should be lost in putting into effect all the proposed improvements and all the recommendations in this report, or their full equivalent." The report is issued under the auspices of the committee of twenty of the national board of fire underwriters. This committee was appointed bv the national board shortly after the Balti more fire with a view to investigating the tire protection of the large cities of the country.

The first trans Atlantic turbine steamer that ever came to this port, the giant new Car manin of the Canard line, arrived at hoi- dock today. All the way across the Atlantic the Carmania encount ered severe weather and yesterday when only a few miles outside the harbor she was obliged to lay to and let the storm blow itself out before attempting to enter. During the night the wind de creased in force and with davliirht the Carmania turned her nose shoreward and came up through tne circuitous channel. That the maiden voyage of the big turbine was in every way successful was the exprt-ssed opinion of many of the passengers.

Each number on the programme this week is a feature in itself, as there is not an act which is not far above the turns ordlnarilv seen on a vaudeville stage. The teaiii of acrobats, Cole and Cole, who are the iirst on the programme this week, are exceptionally clever and introduce sev eral new features in their line of work. "Eevina," a tramp monologlst and musician, furnishes a half hour of clean side-splitting fun. The programme arranged by Man ager Morice of the Star theater seems to have made a great hit with the de votees of vaudeville who have hauntri that theater since it was opened this reason. The house was packed for each performance last night, the office receipts making a better showing than they did for the Sunday preceding.

THE -TOPSKA DAILY JOU E 11 A II O N D A Y NIGHT. I 1I2.L w Ji I Lib fccfaools Will Have to Pay Like Other Institutions. Heretofore There lias Been No Charge JIade. IIALLORY FAVOIIS IT. President of Board Says It Is Only IHght. embers of City Council Also Advise a Change. No free water for the schools of To pr'ka. This is the action which the board of waterworks trustees will take as soon the installation of the meters has been completed in the various school buildings of the city. In the past the schools have been supplied with water free of charge and no account has been kept of the amount used. The first step which was taken by the board of waterworks trustees to check a useless consumption of the water was the order issued' to the board of educa tion instructing them that meters must be installed. This order was agreed to. upon the part of the board of education at its November meeting but the installation J:a3 not yet commenced. When the meters have been placed action rill then be taken requesting that the board of education to pay for the cost of the w a-ti-r used by them in the city schools. "I think that there will be no question but the board will be willing to stand for a charge for the water used if the i lty is paying for water used by it," said P.cv. F. E. Mallory, president of the board of education. "Though the matter Itas not been discussed directly it has "ben generally considered by the board that it would be only right to pay if h city Tras continuing to pay hydrant rentals. 1 have never talked with the members of the board upon this subject hut this seems to be the attitude which they take. We are going ahead with. Ihe order to place in meters." "There certainly can be no justice or equity in the. city exempting- certain de partments and charging others." said Councilman Wm. Gieen, chairman of the council committee on waterworks. "The city is taxing itself for the water it uses for fire purposes for thevarious buildings and for Hushing the -streets. SVhv should we permit the city schools to use water free of charge" or for that matter the park board? Both of these, the board of education and the board of park commissioners should pay for the water used in their departments. If they complain of a lack of money they f.hould restrict their expenditures so that thev might be able to pay this tax. There should be no extravagant appro priation of moneys and the expendi tures should keep pace with the income. "The citizens of Topeka certainly should not be comr'&fl r'!;n2ut a i eduction in their water uus oe cause we are f urrrihrns-f re water to two of the departments. Taxes should be reduced if possible and .if by the. paving of water rental the park board and board of education can help that to b- l.i ought about, it's the thing which should be done. I don't know whether we can charge them for the use of water but it should be done." O. K. Jewell, of the board of trustees said: That's a matter which will be brought up when the meters are placed. It will be up to the council to say what shall be done. As far as we are con cerned the ordinance is very explicit, it states that no city department shall be allowed the free use of water. I don't believe that we should charge a rate in excess of the cost of pumpage. But there should be a charge so that the water we furnish is not a dead loss. I dor.'t know how the board of educa tion feels about, it. There was a lot o water used by these schools and is yet: with the meteis on this will be cut down. Still the city should get pay ment for every bit of water it furnishes. We have not bought a gold brick in this waterworks plant. It is true that we paid too much tor it and that we made a bad bareain. 1 oeneve urousn m"' with careful management and atten tion to details the plant will pay for it self. "I think that the council will have to let us go on that 2 per cent sinking fund proposition. The ordinance provides that we must provide for a sinking fund of 2 per cent on the gross indebtedness of the plant. This amounts to $12,41 a vear. I think the council will have to arrange for some plan by which we can he permitted to pass that tip for about two years. It is necessary because we have some heavy expenses to meet in these additions which we are construct ing to the plant. These will have to be paid for at once. They consist of the addition to the engine room, the new boiler house, the two new boilers, the new driven well points and the remov al of the choke. After that we will be In shape to take care of the necessary improvements through the hydrant ren tal. "I am not in favor of allowing the Hairison street station to be disman tled. I don't think that we will per mit that. It should be kept in condi tion and utilized for emergencies. A test of the plant should be made of the en Bine and boilers once each year. It will t.4 take any steady help. There are a gieat many instances where it is pos sible that the plant up the river might have to be shut down for several days, in that event the Harrison street, sta tion would till the breach. "I don't think there is any intention of the board of education to shirk the payment of their water rental." said Superintendent Jesse Shaw of thp wa teiwoilts department. "I couldn't say how much water is consumed by the schools or what it would represent in money. T have no conception, what ever. Is is a large amount though." "All depai tm'-nts of the city should pay alike,'' said Councilman Howe, chairman of the ways and means com mittee. "No city denartment should b riisci urinated against and they should all. pay alike. "I ctitatnly belitve that the proper procedure would be to make the city schoois pay for the water used by fhiMii." TO PI T MKKIWF7!'IIFI HACK. SsxH'iiii Hiil Will Be Introduced if He Pe Dismissed.

PERSIAN INVASION Is Threatened Along- tlie Frontier the Ottoman Umpire. or Constantinople, Dec. 11. Trouble is threatening on the Turkish-Persian frontier at the villayet of Mosul and in the neighborhood of I-iayasid on the frontier. These points have not ever been exactly deliminated. Five thou sand armof Persians are gathered in the district of Subbulak. southward of I-ake Urumiah, and they threaten to invade and take possession of a strip of tcriitory in the villayet of Mosul claimed by Tuikey. Two battalions ot Ottoman troops with three guns have been dispatched to repel the Invasion and the governor of Mosul is calling for more reinforcements.

Governor Hocli has written a letter to Winfieid Smith of Guthrie, Ok., ad vising the people of Oklahoma not to sell their school lands, but hold them for a. raise in price. The citizens of Oklahoma are considerably divided as to what should be done with the land, and Mr. Smith asked Governor Hoeh s advice.-- The governor save: "I have no hesitancy whatever to advise you not to sell those lands un less you get a great big price for them. Before my inauguration last January I looked up the matter of the unsold school lands of this state ami found that they aggregated nearly 1 million acres. The law authorized their sale at a minimum price of SI.!?.", and a maximum price of $3. Land had rien rapidly out, in the western third of the stote where these lands were chiefly located, and I urged the legislature in my message either to withdraw these lapds from sale or in crease the minimum and maximum price for them, but the legislature, which accomplished more good than r.ny legislature in the history of the state, for some reason failed to com ply with this recommendation. "The deeds to these lands pass through my office, and since the legis lature adjourned they have been mul tiplying in number so that I ijear be fore another legislature meets, these lands will all have passed out of the possession of the state into the hands of private individuals, probably many i of them for speculative purposes, and the state will be out several millions of dollars which it might just as well saved as not. "This is fresh and new experience which I hope will be of value to you j and Oklahoma. Lands in Kansas are j rapidly rising in value and I believe will c 'inue to do so. The same, con-, ditions. I should think, exist in Okla- I homa and that new state will make a great mistake if it permits these lands to pass out of its possession without j enriching the school fund to the j greatest possible extent."

The Western association for lflOG will be composed of Wichita. Topeka, Leavenworth, Joplin, Webb City. I Springfield and Oklahoma City. The Guthrie franchise has been transferred to .St. Joseph in the Western league, and the purpose of Messrs. Barnes and Atwood. of this city, to put a team at Fort Smith is to complete the eight team league. If this is done, it is pos sible a team will be placed at Guthrie, but it is not thought this is likely. It is said the present owners of the Oklahoma City franchise would like to put in a team .at. Fort Smith, as that would be a good town as to dis tance and railroad facilities from this city. The fact that Guthrie will not have a team in the association makes it imperative that some other town nearby has a team. The reserve list for next year has not yet been interfered with, with the exception that .McLeer, who played second and short last year, has been traded to Springfield for Tod Porter, the fast first baseman. Porter is one of the best in the business, and were it not for his overweight, he would be in big league company.

Some ol the Fistic Fans at Frisco Think Fit. Unlit. San Francisco, Dec. 11. Despite the fact that Bob Fitzsimmons and "Philadelphia Jack" O" Prion will not meet in the ring at Mechanics' Pa vilion until Wednesday evening. De cember 20, the fight fans are busily engaged in figuring out the relative chances with the view of turning their knowledge into capital. Most of the gossip naturallv cen ters upon the efforts of "Lanky Bob" io get into shape at his camp across the bay. For the last two weeks the followers of the fistic game have been flocking to Croll's place in Alameda to see the grand old man of pugilism at his work and to watch its effect upon hlmj The question as to whether or not ho is still able to get into shape for a fight is apparently an open one as yet. That Fitz is trying, and trying hard, to round into condition is beyond question. Long periods of work at the punching bag are closely followed by plenty of actual sriarrimr. and in point or time ancl exertion Bob en J deavors as closely as possible to travel I the route of a 20 round fight. I 1 he well authenticated story told last week that Kilx was very wobbly at the end of his spin on the road is commented upon ancl variously ex plained. His friends claim that the old man had simply overdone his work on that occasion, whiie others hold that it is significant of the trouble be is having in getting into anything like !ia pe. The latter roc-all the condition in which Fitz entered the ring with George Gardner and predict that the coming fight will be just such an other fiasco. His aelmirery, on the oiher hand, insist that, barring acci dents. Fitz will surprise these carpers by revealing some of his (jld time form when he enters the roped arena. As for O'Brien, who has been doing light work at Sheebau's Beach tavern on the Ocean boulevard, no doubt ex ists as to his condition.

K is known that Manager Haird is dickering for nil- earlier game for turkey day in liMlS. and if there is an opening he will jump in to 1111 the gap. As soon as spring opens Manager Kalrd will start building grand stands and moving the old bleachers. The old gridiron will be used for practice and class games. Coe. The world's champion shot putter, will be eligible for next year's football team. He has played the as sociation game and likes the fast work. It is rumored that if Yost can develop him into a center he may draw "Germany" Schultz into the back Held for a plunging fullback. Schultx is strong as air ox and is very fast for a man of his weight. It is a curious fact, but Michigan scored more points on opponents and had less points scored against the Wolverines than any team in the country and still lost the western championship. Michigan's total for the season was 495 points, and the total score during the five years of Yost's regime is: "Michigan, 2,821 opponents. 42." Michigan's scoring for 1903 was done as follows: Touch dov.'ns Curtis, mond, 13: Carrels. 7: Weeks, 5: Workman, Longman. 3: Kmbs, S Barlow, :t Clark. 3: IS: T.

Selee said he has almost en tirely recovered from his recent sick ness and expects to be in perfect health when the baseball season opens next spring. While President Murphy would not commit himself on the subject, it is said to be safe to say that Selee will be feen in harness with the Cubs- next yea,'. unless several clubs in the Na tural league, which are now trying to secut e the veteran manager's services, should offer inducements favorable enough to lead the Chicago manage ment to part with their old manager.

Dec. 11 "Cap" Anson during his baseball career was more renowned for the length of his base hits than he was for being a "waiter." But in ac cepting a check fot $13,000 for the 130 shares he held of the Chicago League club's stock '-Can" has earned a clear title of being the most patient waiter in baseball. "Cap" says his memory runneth not back to the lime he first asked lor his dividends on the baseball stock, given to him so long ago by A. G. Spalding. But as the new owners of the club are said to have settled with the "Old Man" he may forgive Colonel Hart for refus ing to declare dividends on the club s stock for so many years. The story goes that to get possession of the entire 1.000 shares of stock in the Chicago club Charles VY. Murphy not only bought James -A.

The chance of pre-empting claims or of taking up land under government laws is gone and fill not return again.

Its best opportunity is shown iii the great southwest where the transformation is going on and where the conditions of soil and climate is '.t harmony with the warm skies and temperate winds. To the man who is not satisfied with his condition, the southwest has an inviting -future. Along the lines of the Missouri, Kansas Texas railway there are vast areas of unimproved lands awaiting willing hands to make them yield the bountiful crops of which the land is capable. There is a need of stores, factories and new business of every description. It is the finest kind of an opportunity in the finest section of the United Slates.

Tostal Deficit Due Entirely to Tliis Says Mr, Cortelyou. Washington. Dee. 11. Postmaster General Cortelyou in his report for the past fiscal year says that while a self sustaining condition of the postoflice department would be gratifying, he is less concerned about the deficit than the efficiency of administration. For the fiscal year of 1905 the total receipts from all sources were $152, 826,585, and total expenditures of $167,1S1,S59, leaving a deficit of $14, 572,584. In connection with these fig ures the postmaster general directs at tention to the Increased amount of free matter .handled, which he says aver aged 12.5S per cent of the entire weight carried or a loss in revenue of $19, 822,000. "Manifestly." he says, "had the mat ter now carried free been required to have been prepaid, notwithstanding the large expenditure for rural free deliv ery service, there would have been no deficit." Answering some of the criticisms which he says have been directed against the postal service he says that most of it overlooks the unusual con ditions existing in this country, its great extent of territory and its widely scat tered population, with the introduction of rural free delivery as yet unfinish ed, ancl other details of postal develop ment incomplete, he thinks it the part ot wisdom to proceed conservatively until the present service is more nearly perfected. "In other words." says he, "it is be lieved for the time being attention can be more profitably devoted to an im provement in the service already estab lished than to an immediate considera tion of such ouestions as the reduction of the rates of postage, a parcels post, postal savings depositories, a postal telegraph and telephone and kindred subjects." As a remedy for the franking evil, of whiem he complains, the postmaster general suggests that there are sound administrative reasons why it would be better business policy for each depart ment to pay postage upon its mail mat ter according to its class, than to re turn to the practice of requiring gov ernment free matter to be prepaid by postage stamps in the same way as similar matter mailed by the public. The weight of opinion, he says, is in favor of the plan suggested so modified as to eliminate the necessity of affixing stamps, but maintaining the principle that each department be charged with the whole expense of conducting its business. May Utilize Fast Freight. Discussing appointments of postmas ters, the postmaster general says that under instructions leoently issued, a caieful rating based on inspector's re ports, is given each postoflice. and that this rating carries great weight in ap pointments. He says that fourth class postmasters will be retained during satisfactory service, while in the case of presidential postmasters their reappoint ment -will be determined b the ratings given them. The work of purifying the mails is not confined to the suppiession of-frauds and lotteries, but includes 'as well the exclusion therefrom of obscene, indecent and scurrilous matters and the punish ment of those found to have deposited such matter for transmission. The work of the postotTice inspectors is praised, and the opinion is expressed that many of them aie underpaid. A similar view is expressed wTlh respect -to postoffioe clerks and letter earners, city and rural. Governmental control o the pneu matic tube service and the mail wagon service is recommended and in the lat ter case an appropriation is asked to purchase w ag ms of approved pattern for carrying the mails. An increase of 5.77 per cent in the amount- of ordinary mail handled as compared with ltfl'l is noteil in the rail way mail service, which the postmaster general says showj a normal growth with gratifying maintenance of effi ciency. Dining the year twelve lerks were killed while cn duty, and 125 ser iously injured. Eveiy effort, he says, has been made to surround the clerks with every possible safeguard. The arduous and hazardous duties incident to the service, he declares, call for some legislative action that will make pro vision for clerks worn out in tbe sarvice and maintain its efficiency by the r.-rad-tial elimination of superannuated clerks. The present method of determining the rates of pay to the transportation com panies for carrying the n:fs is not re garded by the postmaster :,;-"ial as al- mm mmsw last, tsoc. strap styles. brass but tons, with Buster Brown in all sizes for children, 75s.

JUDGE DAXA GETS A CHAIR. Judge and Jury Also Toss Bouquets at One Another. The jurors for the September term of court Saturday afternoon presented Judge Dana of the district court with a handsome leather trimmed office clian in appreciation of his "kindly and cour teous treatment" during the recent term of court. At the same time they present ed Court Stenographer Charles Bower and Bailiff S. E. Anderson with a box ot cigars each. The last jury for the term had iust brought in a verdict when Cap tain Dan Wyatt, who had been chosen as spokesman for the jury, stepped to th front of the judge's bench and said: "If vour honor please, X would likB ta be heard verv briefly on a very important matter. I will not intrude on your hon or's time more than two or threes hours, T have often pleaded at the bar. and never yet has a demurrer to my plead ings been sustained. "If your honor please, my fellow jurors, who represent nearly, every political or ganization, religious creed, type and color, have imposed a pleasant duty upon me. That duty is to thank you for yom kindlv and courteous- treatment to ua during this term of court.- Our burdens have been lightened by your plain and explicit instructions, and we have been able to reach verdicts in nearly all th cases which we were called upon to set tle. This surely speaks credit for youl honor and will be appreciated by the tax payers of the county. Your labors lm a been anything but beds of roses; you have had to solve many knotty problems, which require a clear legal head and a thorough knowledge of the best authori ties, viz: Blackstone, and the Pirst and Second books of Mahogany. "We admire your good judgment In se lecting your officers, viz: your court re porter and bailiff; they both show that they are suited for their positions. Wo gladly present them with a box of fine cigar's which will hold them for awhile. Take these gentlemen smoke on us. "Judge, our associations have been pleasant; we are about to part perhaps never to meet again in this capacity. e feel it befitting to present you with an easy office chair so that you may have some very pleasant moments of rest. I know I voice the seintiment of my fellow jurors when I say: we love you for your kindness and pleasant smiles and admiro you for your noble appearance and legul talent. Gentlemen (turning to the jury in the boxi, is this your verdict and are you satisfied therewith? Thanking you again, you are excused from further su pervision over us." The fact that a present was to be given to Judge Dana had been carefully guard ed by- the jurymen and came as a com plete surprise to Judge Dana, whose first intimation of anything of the kind wan when the chair was brought into the court room and placed on a table directly in front of the, .bench. The chair is itself a work of art, a huge onartersa wed oak creation with spat ancl back of black leather and commodious enoigh to fur nish visions of comfort-to all b''i-loi,p,.F.

Hut I've always found human na ture to be pit t-ty much the snme the world over; my theory is tnat one. man is as go'od as am tin r as long as he goes along and tends to his own busi ness. There never was a fish caught, but that there was another just as good in the sea. I've been en earth a pood many years, butl'm wealing the same size hat 1 always wore."

Elmore with another young man. who also died from the same accident, was sent into an evaporator in the sugar mill on Thur.selay afternoon to make some repairs. About the evapo rator is a jacket, and between the walls of the two a heavy pressure of steam circulated. It was supposed that the steam was cut off. The two men tore off the head of the evapo rator after they got inside of it. The steam rushed in on them with fuli force, but both got out of the evapo rator at once. They thought that they were but little injured and were con gratulating themselves upon their escape. In taking off their clothes, however. 4t was noticed that, the skin peeled off their bodies in-large putche. They became unconscious a short while later. Both of them were dead by Saturday, Elmore dying last. The young man was quite well known in Topeka.

"Went to her reward. Thursday, lfith of November, 1005, Mrs. Harriet Gash Jameson. To her dear memory the Woman's Missionary society of the Secemd Presbyterian c-hurch offers this t'-ibute of love. She was a loyal me-m-ber. joining the society directly after coming into our church life in the spring of J 8ST. The family came from Macomb, III., bring church letters and have been in close touch with all church work here ever since, the two boys. Harry and Don, uniting with the church during this time. To the, earnest efforts and good life of their mother we give due meed of praise fo this decision in their very early life. They can truly say she was the best mother boy ever had. As a mem ber of the missionary society, the aid society or the Orphan's Home associa tion, Mrs. Jameson. was always to be depended upon for efficient service. Distinctly, however. our dear sister was a home-keeper and looked well to the ways of her household. She was faithful and true to every need of the family. It was her delight to dir for her loved ones. After the family came her church aud its interests, meetings of which she attended as long as she coukl get out. In July she was at Westminster church at an all dav missionary meeting as was our dear Mrs. Mary B. Cleland of the First church, who answered the sum mons, "come up higher," only one day later than our member. (Beloved Mrs. Cleland! H-r life was an inspir ation to better service for the Master wherever she was known.) In Au gust our meeting was held at the home of Mrs. Harry Jameson in honor other mother. The occasion was made hope ful and glad and Mrs. Jameson con tributed much to its success. That was her last attendance at a church affair, though she continued to drive out dail for weeks. So heroic a spirit could uot be 'shut in' very long. With her husband and her sons -we can unite in the words of the wise man: 'Give her of the fruits of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.' And yet us rejoice in the fact lhat "The friends who leave us do not feel the sorrow Of parting. as we feel it, who must stay Lamenting day by day. And knowing when we wake upon the morrow. We shall not tind in its accustomed place, The Beloved face.' "Nor should we grieve as those without hope, but think of Mrs. Jame son and Mrs. Cleland, our dear co workers, as still caring for us and the interests thev loved on earth for 'They are not dead, dear ones of our affection.

The land for the refinery was pur chased from J. M. Mason and X. T. Martin for $1,800 an acre. A. Hi story brick building will be erected at a cost of $".,000. About $20,000 worth of machinery will be installed. AV. D.

UK Lion and the Mouse," at the Lyceum theater, has a ;t theme of unusual timeliness 'Written by Charles Klein, uthor of "The Music Master," the play telis a story of political and financial intrigue directly in keeping with de nouements, in investigations and trials In various states of late. The power that pulls political wires has been plainly revealed by the insurance in vestigation in Xew York, by the Kn terprise bank failure in Allegheny and by the. trials of United States senators for postofflee and land frauds. In "The Lion and the Mouse" is seen how a great financier conspires with a sena torial cabal to break the life and ruin the career of an honest supreme court judge who dared to hand down a de cision inimical to the capitalist's terests. in- Rapidly Develops Strength. The play opens weakly, but rapidly develops into a strong dramatic entity, making it a success. It is a pleasing production excellently acted and ade quately staged, by Manager II. B. Har ris, the settings evidencing liberal, but discreet, expenditure and artistic judg ment. Grace Klliston, Kdnnnid Breese and Richard Bennett fill the three principa! rolcs. Miss KUiston's work as Shirley Rossmore is artistic and effective. At first she seems to lack sincerity, but Foon becomes imbued with the spirit of the role of the accused judge's daughter, Sighting valiantly for her father's honor. Miss Klliston's charm of manner, abet ted by handsome and becoming gowns, :dso exerts potent influence over her au dience. Miss EJIiston's Dramatic Power. At the climax of the play (the end of the third ac t) Miss Klliston rises to the situation with such potential dramatic power as literally to lift the beholders from their seats. Kdmund Breese's performance of Ready Money Ryder, the finance king of the American continent, is one of the strongest features of the play. He is convincing and realistic, a dominating figure. Richard Bennett plays the role of Ryder's son. Jefferson, with a care ful appreciation of its dramatic possi bilities. He is well poised and thor oughly artistic. Story of the Play.

Thousands of people believe that the "socket" sport will take the place of the more violent Rugby, and the number of "sockor" teams has increased 100 per cent with in the last three months. The general public knows very little about association football. Most peo ple know that a round ball, instead of an oval ball, is used, and that com pletes the sum of their information. But little time is required, however, in learning the technical intricacies of the port. and this is a decided advantage over Rugby.

Association Is an Open Game. The chief advantage of association football over Rugby is that it is an open game. Mass plays are unknown. The players are scattered, to a consid erable extent, and the ball is always in sight. Also, the ball is in the air much of the time. Association is move un certain, less accurate and consequently ot so highly developed a game as ivugby.

Once wealthy and honored, the judge's decisions adverse to Ready Money Ryder had led the latter to ruin him financially and to instigate impeachment proceedings through the financier's senatorial pup pets. The judge's daughter, Shirley,' traveling abroad, knew nothing of her father's misfortune. In Paris she met Jefferson Ryder, and they fall in love.

The absence of tackling, as practiced in th? present college game, is also in favor of a short injury list. Probably 40 pei cent of 1 he serious accidents in Rugby are caused by violent tackles. Oftentimes both the tackier and the man tackled are made insensible by the force of their meeting. True, many 'of these mishaps occur through ignoranc? on the part of the players. The art of successful tackling that. is. effective tackling without injury to the tackier is acquired only through long, well di rected practice. The same may lie said of the art of falling to the ground safe- j ly, and at the same th ie retaining a firm hold on the elusive ball. The man tackled is usually running at a high rate of speed, and when his legs are sud- i denly jerk'-,! from under him he can- j not break the force of t're fall by reach- I ing out his hands, fo; ho must hold on to the biiU at .-ill hazards.

Ryder knows of his son's attachment for the judge's daughter and would move heaven and earth to break it. He wants him to marry Kate Roberts, daughter of Sen ator Roberts, the connecting link be tween Ryder and the senate. Shirley Reveals Her Identity. Ryder tlevelops a great fondness for "Sttsa.n Green," as also does Mrs, Ryder (well played by Marguerite St. John). When the loss of the important papers is discovered, however, and Shirley acknowledges her deception, Ryder's rage is beautiful to see. He assails bit- valent in Rugby, it can readily be de tected and punished. Throughout an entire game of association, in fact, chancs for unobserved slugging are 90 per cent fewer than ill Rugby. This is another important point in favor of an open game. 1 Description of the Association Game. Association football is played on a field 300 feet long and 100 feet wide. In the middle of the end lines are placed the goals, the posts being eight yards apart, the cross bar eight feet from the ground. As in Rugby, eleven men are required to form an association team. These 1 men consist of fivo forwards, three half- backs, two backs, or fullbacks, and one i goal keeper. Except in the matter of! the numbers of players, there are no j points of .imiiarity between the two: styles.

E.. carry the ball. The sphere is advanced by kicking, by "heading" (hitting it with the head) and by hitting it with vari ous parts of the body (except hands and arms). Points are scored by send- ing the ball between goal posts and under a cross bar, bar as in Rugby. instead of over the At the Kick-off. At the start of pjay the b3ll is kicked off from the center of the field by the Player of one of the toanis known as the center. He is a forward and stands ac ta. Shirley then carries the play to its climax, bitterly denouncing Ryder, his life, his principles and his methods. In the end, Ryder feels the justice of Shirley's arguments in favor of the judge, now lying at death's door and calls the senatorial bloodhounds off the scent, and the money king's anxiety to have Shirley marry his son becomes really touching. "I'm beaten," says Ryder to Shirley; "beaten for the first time in my life, and you are the one who has done it. I cannot afford to have you outside of my family." Grace George's New Play. Grace George is now appearing at the Garrick theater in "The Marriage of William Ashe," a dramatization, by Margaret Mayo, of Mrs. Humphry Ward's successful novel of the same name. The play does not diverge vitally from the book. It provides Miss George with a role particularly well adapted to her physieal makeup that is, she fits nat urally into the character of Lady Kitty Bristol, the central figure of Mrs. Ward's book. The play will undoubtedly prove popular with the literary public, as well as with those who appreciate a care fully studied dramatic production. Still an important defect exists in the play. I refer to. the failure to adequately sus tain the dramatic action. This short coming, the fault of the playwright, in the middle of the forward line, with two forwards on either side. Several yards back stand the three halfbacks, and still farther back are the backs or fullbacks. The goal keeper stays in the vicinity of the goal throughout the con test. The team that receives the ball on the kick-off spreads out consider ably, in the same relative positions as the members of the kicking team. The positions'of the players under ordinary circumstances are not arbitrarily fixed. A game consists of an hour and a half of actual play. Two forty-five minute halves are played, with a brief intermission. A unique feature is that no substitutes are allowed cither team. If a man is forced to retire, either be cause of injury or for disqualification, his team must finish the game without the services of the player. This rule holds good no matter how early in the game a man may be forced to retire. The veteran center does not send the ball far into the territory of his op ponent on the kick-off. Instead he kicks it to one side, so that his own 'r BUTTING IT WiTH THE HEAD. forwards can manipulate it, but he must not send the ball back of the point i kick-off when putting it into play. It must go in front of the furwards and not be driven back toward the kicker's own goal. If, by a mighty drive, the center should send the ball through his opponents' goal on the kick-off the goal would not be counted. In addition, be fore the kicker-off can again boot the sphere, the bail must be kicked by an other man. Fouls penalize the offend ing eleven by giving T,1P other side a free kick. Goals scored from free kicks Shirley and Jefferson, latter of betraying his 11 u h ASHE "A i f S i 1 VXlv5 '77--, jmSmmas. ;m ViTwo scenes fromv A -r'- t -y It-he: LION and the MOUSE j tj threatens to undermine, at times, the none too evident reasons for the exist ence of either the book or the play. Mrs. Ward's novels do not make strik ingly good plays when the original text is closely adhered to. They demand radical divergence, at times, by the dramatizer. "Lady Rose's Daughter" was a signal failure in its stage form, yet as a book it brought Mrs. Ward financial returns of a most satisfactory description. Miss George's Good Work. Miss George does splendid work throughout the performance. What ever success the play attains will ie due to her individual work. 1 have never seen her do anything better. She pictures the erratic career of the flighty little Lady Kitty with talent and insight. It is niedless to say that Lady Kitty's peculiarities make the vole a most difficult one, and consequently al 5- t v n. 1 are not allowed. Fouls consist of de liberately hitting, tripping or kicking a player, of running with the ball that is, carrying it of hitting the ball with the hands or arms, etc. Importance of the Center. The center is the most important member of the team, although of course the success of an eleven depends much PUTTING BALL IN PLAY AFTER on every player. The forwards on the right of center are known as the right wing, those on the left, the left wing. From his position the center has the best view of the field and the game and directs many of the plays that go to make up defense and attack. The for wards are the principal advancers of the ball upon the enemy's goal. The back field players form the defense. Sometimes, however, when the for wards are played out the halfbacks will be brought to the fore to act as for wards. So players should be well versed and trained in all departments. Up to Date Guides. I have always cherished the idea that the hunting guides employed in pilot ing urban game seekers to the haunts of the deer, the moose and the caribou were simple minded souls who loved the forest for what it was, who hunted for the pure love of th.' uport and to whom the jingle of base mint born gold was not the sweetest music in the world. I nursed gently in my infantile mind the idea that they were brothers of the romantic trappers that Cooper wrote about, but the dreaded monster, Disillusion, has shattered all that. A friend of mine has just returned from hunting in the northern Maine woods, and this is his story: "I was one of a party of four. On arriving at our destination, in the heart of the deer country. I hHd a. lengthy conversation with two guides. One I shall call John, tin other, Charley. They the more credit accrues to Miss George's account. H. Reeves-Smith-appears to advan tage as William Ashe, but the same cannot be said of Ben Webster as Geoffrey Cliffe. Mr. Webster is a capa ble actor, but in this instance he ap pears to have been miscast. THE GREAT CY SEYMOUR. Two ehampionships are now credited to-O'y Seymour, the famous outfielder of the Cincinnati Reds. Pitching and bat ting, the two greatest accomplishments in baseball, have been mastered by him, and today lie has reached a position where he stands as one of the greatest all round ball players of the world. Most players reach their climax in one department of the game, but not so with Seymour. It was not enough for him to strike out t!43 men and be the leading pitcher of the league in :S9S, when a member of the Xew York Giants, but luring the season just past he has ac cumulated a batting average of .377. oeat the srreat Hans Warnur hv 13 points and won the unquestioned title of siugger- or the world. Incidentally it may be said "McGraw to the front again," for it was John J. w ho made Seymour an outfielder 911 his Baltimore Oriole team and started Cy slugging the ball. Recent report would have Bresnahan traded to Cincinnati for Seymour, but the talk of exchanging these two players is just wo years old. Xo doubt McGraw would like to have wear a Giant uniform again, and good things come high, but Bresnahan's loss would be too dear a price to pay. RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DOG. An interesting sporting dog case, like ly to be cited in this country, has just been decided in the English courts. A M. Phipps bought three Scotch terriers, paying $300 for one of them. He was staying at a fashionable liotel in Lon don, but was about to go to Scotland and left the dogs in charge of the hotel for a day, paying 50 cents each a day for their keep. The dogs were put in a storeroom till Mr. Phipps was ready, but when he went to get them the $300 one was missing. He sued, and, though the hotel people pleaded no responsibil ity, the court awarded Mr. Phipps J300 damages, the value claimed for the. lost dog. It seems that the dog escaped somehow and has not been seen since. ZIEGLER'S TURF FUTURE. H. II. Ziegler, the Cincinnati theatri cal manager and the man who intro duced Hermis to the eastern turf, has now at Highland farm, Lexington, Ky three weanlings which he will race in 1907 as the first horses of his own breeding to carry his colors. These youngsters are out of mares Ziegler raced and prized so much that he re tired them as the beginning of a small breeding stud he contemplates forming. Two are colts by the Haggin stallions imp. Rapallo and Bendoran. They are lusty looking youngsters and have the appearance of being the sort which grow into nice colts. The eight year lings Ziegler has just shipped to winter at Highland farm were purchased pri vately this year by the Cincinnati turf- were the only guides in the vicinity who were not engaged. "John said, 'I I go out with you, I want $3 extra from each member of your party if you get a deer. If you get more than two deer I want ?10 from each man. I'll guarantee you a moose if I get $30 extra.' "These 'extras' were in excess, of course, of the liberal offer I had made IT HAS GONE OUT OF BOUNDS. him for his services. I was dumfound ed. I appealed to Charley, and his re ply was, 'same here.' "Well, to make a long story short, we had to make a compromise whereby we took both guides with us and promised them each 52 from every member of the party for every deer brought down by us. "We were in the woods a week and killed three deer, so each guide made $:'4 extra." FREDERICK R. TOOMBS. GIANTS RE-ENGAGE TRAINER. Harry Tuthill. the clever trainer of the champion X'ew Y'ork Xational base ball team, was put on half pay for the winter by Manager McGraw and will be retained next season. Tuthill was Young Corbett's chief trainer for his fight with Jimmy Britt and has had much, experience with athletes in all kinds of .spurt. The line physical con dition of the Xew Y'ork pitchers last season was largely due to his careful and intelligent handling. "TAPS" A HIT ABROAD, "Taps," a hopeless failure In America, has just scored an enormous success at the "Waldorf theater in London. H. B. Irving is seen in the principal role of the tragedy, which is called "Lights Out" in Kngland and "Discipline" in France. At the conclusion of this run Mr. Irving will seen under the direction of the Fhubeits in C. M. S. McLellan's play,! "The Jury of Fate." MARTIN' .1. SHEHIDAJi. AMERICA'S ALIj AROlD ATHLETIC CHAMPION. Martin J. Sheridan Is one of the best known athletes of Xew York. He won the all around American championship at the Lewis and Clark exposition, Portland, Ore. man, save the brown colt by Hasting out of imp. Christmas Tree, by Althotas, which he secured out of Milton Young public sale in Xew York last summer. August Belmont sold this Knglish mare in foal to Hastings at a fall sale, and this colt is the result of that mating. Tin'; youngster is a corker, and it is said Trainer Charles Hughes thinks about as much of him as a yearling ss he did of the high class Fenrhyn this time last season. HERE'S A NEW ONE. Harry Hermsen. who is playing th principal role in "The Royal Chef," has in his note book a mournful distich which he copied last year from a grave stone in England. In this verse the cruel exigencies of rhyme have robbe'd the dead of his good name or at least ot one-half of it. The lines are: Here lis. aged three score years and ten. The aged remains of John Woodhen. X. B. For "hen" read "cock." "Cock" would not come in rhyme. Mr. Hermsen avers that this epitaph actually appears on a stone !n a ceme tery not five miles from London. PETE DAI LEY. Peter F. Dailey has passed under th management of the Shuberts and re cently made his first appearance in a new musical comedy entitled "The Press Agent." The press agent in this instance represents not a theatrical organization, but a band of South American revolu tionists. The story is said to be along novel lines, and the score, written by William Lorraine, composer of "Peggy From Paris," has several delightful numbers, chief among them a song en titled "My Moonlight Maid." Mr. Dai ley's leading woman is Kate Condon. LAVE CROSS IN DEMAND. If any critic of Lave Cross of the Phil adelphia Americans thinks that the vet eran captain of two champion teams has outlived his usefulness he ought to have a little talk with Manager Mack. Connie now has under consideration offers of trades from three American league teams w ho want the third baser who has seen twenty years of service in the big leagues. The Xew York Americans would give Elberfeld for Lave and Hoffman. Wash ington wants him to manage the team, and Cleveland would be glad to go into some trade involving Lave and Monta Cross as well as Hoffman. There are also clubs in the national league who would gladly get the old fellow if American league magnates would consent to waive claim. All of which is a deserved tribute to one of the grand old men of the game, a player who stands as a constant exam ple to the youngsters of what proper habits can be made to bring in the way of cash returns and love of the fans. "FAN TAN A." Jefferson De Angelis in "Fantana" is drawing large audiences in the west. "Fantana" has been playing without re spite since a year ago last August. It is, without question, the most successful production of its kind that has been seen in this country. "A Lamb In Wall Street" is the tit! of a clever comedy sketch by Bert Coote and company, presented in vaude ville. i i i i'ji :t AIO.NZO st Ki. XO IT T AT niBECTOlt MTV. OF CH IC AGO I -MVEIt.
