THE TOPEKA tfAILY STATE JO'pSiiSATUBDAY EVENlNa, MAECH 23, 1907, IN THE RELIGIOUS WORLD. What the Church Folks Are Thinking About and Doing Religious News From Everywhere. n5 Price of Prosperity. The International Sunday school Jen son for March 24 Is, "The Woes of Drunkenness." Isa. 28: 7-13. The Golden text Is, "Wine and New Wine Take Away the Heart." Hos. 4:11. BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS. There is a peculiar pleasure la dls covering a familiar quotation in an un expected place; It Is like -meeting an old friend In a strange eountry. Every body knows the phrase, "precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line up on line, line upon line; heTe a little. there a little." Not everybody knows however, that It occurs In connection with this passage upon drunkenness in the Book of Isaiah. The connection is appropriate. There ore few better texts for a discourse on the- present temperance situation han this. For the oid. oil sermo-. O'er which so many brilliant minds have grown eloquent, still, needs to be preached, "precept upon precept, pre cept upon precept; Una upon Hue. itf-e upon line; here a little, there a little, until the whole world has won to the goal of aohriety. That Is why, ouce ev.iry quarter, in Kurd-iV rchaols are given a temperance topic tc. coraider. Watching the World's Drift. What is happening; on the stage of public events is impirtant and inter esting; equally so is that which is go ing on "behind the ?.?nes." Ii: watch ing the outward tendencies of the times, the wise observer will not for get the inner trend from which iry spring. The state of society's mind is not less deserving jf sittentlon than the course of public conduct. To many persons who watch the world's ways, it aeems unmistakable that the world today is thinking thoughts of self-indulgence. These days of national prosperity have brougot a relaxation of the stern self-restraint and self-denial of other days. While drunkenness on the whole may be de creasing, there is a neslceable increase In the number of liquor glasses on din ner tables. At the largest hotels and restaurants, 4t is common to see both men and women drinking with thoir meals. Probably more wine suppers are given in America in a week, at the present time, than wera given in a month. 25 years ago. Nobody is surprised that negro mam mies should smoke, or that Japanese and Chinese women should be is devo ted to cigarettes and the pipe as their husoands and brothers. Serious minded men, though, do not like to see Ameri can women range themselves in this class. That seems to be coming to pass In these days, and the amount of smok ing done by women of wealth and sup posed refinement would shock our grandmothers. Likewise the spread of gambling most popularly Illustrated by the craze for bridge whist is a sign of the same tendency in the na tion's mental processes. We are pros perous; we have money and we have leisure; therefore we revert to the sort of practices which have always charac terised rich and idle people, prior to their downfall. Drinking Around the World. This is no jeremiad; the Western continent still leads Christendom m Its sobriety. But H is the part of cour age and sound 5udgment always to face the facts. While in certain direc tions the cause of total abstinence is making tremendous strides, in others the reverse is true. The number of men whose fathers were total abstain ers who now drink to a greater or less degree is significantly large. Stnce the majority of New World residents be lieve that the simpler way is better, and that "Where there's drink there's danger, It is well to keep open-eyed to the Bigns of the decadence or vitiation of national character that may be seen on many sides. Sailing along the China coast I fell Into conversation with a tourist from Nebraska, a typical American. Apro pos of his experiences and impressions he remarked. "I have never done so much drinking in my life as I have done since leaving America. A man can't help drinking wherever he goes. Everybody does it." Of course he was mistaken in his easy assumption that "a man can't help drinking," for hun dreds of tourists quite as companion able as he go around the world with out tasting Hquor; but he was quite correct in saying that the amount of drinking is astounding. Merely as an item or expense one marvels at It; small wonder that in the foreign set tlement of the largest port In the East is frequently heard the statement, "Nobody in Shanghai pays his bills." While that generalization is untrue, it is indicative. The financial as weu as moral disaster which overtakes so many men In the East may generally be traced to the widespread prevalence of the drink habit. The. haunting look In the cavernous eyes of a once-brilliant American man whose career In -the Orient is closing in 'disappointment abides with roe as a teminder of a tragedy. For that mana only son ended a life of promise uri- I der peculiarly distressing circum- stances, as a worthless drunkard; and I now, report- has -it,-the father- nasi turned for solace or oblivion to the cup which caused all bis bittern ass. It does seem as if the trail of strong drink cannot be followed in any direc Hon wiUiout finding disaster.- W hen the Strong Reel. The visitor to Port Arthur learns dreadful applications of the old "proph et's lament that "eve nthese reel with wine" and stagger with strong drink; L e.. the strong "that turn back the battle at the gates." More than once during the late war Russia's chances of victory' were far greater than the world Knows, but the minds ana wills of the Russian officers had been pal sied by strong drink.' The memorable Dogger Bank incident,, when fishing boats were fired .upon., because mis taken for torpedo boats, is "a modern instance of how the strong "err In vision, they stumble in judgment." wor is Hubs la alone a sufferer from this cause. The ablest military light in Japan was recently snuffed out by over drinking; and one of her admirals, whose name the whole world knows, has an unenviable reputation at home for the same vice. America is not guiltless, as more than one incident In her naval and military history attests; and It has been more than hinted that one of the recent great disasters to her merchant marine was due to the cause which makes men "err in vision" and. "stumble in judg ment." The Arbroath railway horror in England, when, a few weeks since, twenty-two persons lost their lives, was directly due, the dispatches stated, to the drunkenness of the engineer In charge. The Reveler's Loss. The plain speech of the Orient, which jars on the sensitive ears of the west. abounds in the Bible. So this passage describes vividly the nauseating ap pearance of a scene of revelry. The lan guage Is not wise; but neither is the thing itself. The fact is that strong drink bestializes men, and destroys all their finer perceptions. The sensitive spirit soon becomes blunted by drunk enness. A crowd of revelers will endure and do and say things of which no one of them would be for an Instant tolerant i when sober. There is a reach and an application not always appreciated about the old phrase, applied to one who drinks, "Going to the dogs." The lessons that will not be learned at school usually have to be learned lnj the bitter school of experience. Recent ly I ran across a bishop's son who had forsaken his father's wise teachings; it took delirium tremens in a strange land to bring him to himself. As with Indi viduals, so with nations. Korea would not learn in liberty how to govern her self; now beneath the flail of oppression, she is finding out how precious Is Inde pendence and self-government. Old China was deaf to entreaty and coun sel: not until the ruthless plowshare of armies bad been run through her high est and most sacred .places did she awake from the sleep of centuries. That is the way Ood works, as all his tory shows. So he warned Israel that If she would not hear his pleadings of love, then "by men of strange Hps and with another tongue will he speak to this people." The Lord is bound to make himself heard, and. to teach his own truth. The boys who will not learn the lesson of temperance In the Sunday school, may have to learn It In the gutter or In the JalL Every rescue mission in the land hears almost night ly the pitiful plea. "If I had oniy heed ed the lessons taught me as a boy." And be It remembered, the truths that per tain to character can be acquired In youth.

Rest of mind simply comes from change of work. What you need to do Is to give your winter evenings to erood reading, to good thoughts and to high iaeais. inia means worK, Dut It will mean work that will recreate and strengthen your energies, depleted by the struggles of the day. Rev. Dr. Frank De Witt Talmage. Presbyterian. Los Angeles, Cal. CAUSE OF MANY EVILS. Beauty often causes vanity, and vanity causes many other evils. Shun the beauty who uses her powers to bring her false pleasures. To beauty can be traced much of the world's crime. It has ever been so and is to this day. Man v of the country's strongest, ablest and most worthy women are unattractive in face and form, but they are truly beautiful. .ev. t. o. ureaen. Disciple. Des Moines, Iowa. PERSONAL SALVATION. There is only one kind of salvation personal salvation. This is not by the acceptance of any theological plan, not by the vicarious atonement of any one else, but through one's own efforts In becoming better. It Is the triumph of tne nooier sen over me ignoble self. These stand for heaven and hell. No special form or the acceptance of any mediatory grace Is necessary. Personal salvation demands that we be true to self. Selfishness, fear and indifference are to be icught In our soul growth, In tne building or character, which is sal vation. Rev. Fred Alban Well, Uni tarian, Chicago. SOCIETY'S PRESSING PROBLEM. The boy problem Is the ever pressing problem of society. Between the ages of 12 and 18 years the average boy Is very uncertain quantity. It is perilous period. The home Is pre eminently the place where not only the beginning, but the shaping of life, must be determined. For every hour the av erage American boy is under school In fluence he is eleven hours under home Influence. Clearly, then, the- home should afford the best possible sur roundings for the boy. Father and mother should be united in his training and never be at cross purposes. Home for him should be an earthly paradise, the most attractive spot on earth. In finite patience,- unwavering love, un failing sympathy, conjoined with firm ness, should enter into the develop ment of hia character. Plenty of play should be allowed him. Healthy noise should be welcomed. Love for exoa should ever be -taught and exemplified. iJJisoDeaient children, as a ruie, are. tne consequence of disobedient parents. Be true, then, yourselves to the laws of life, of home, of education, and you may rest assured it will be well with the boy. Bishop Samuel Fallows, Re formed Episcopalian, Chicago. BIBLE STUDY.

Paris, March 23. The women cab drivers who now adorn the streets of Paris have made a distinct hit and their male rivals are exceedingly dis gruntled over the partiality shown by the public. The board of examiners of the police prefecture, which pass upoii the qualifications of "cabbies" was not favorably disposed and applied the most rigorous tests, but at least half a dozen ran the gauntlet by demonstrating not only their knowledge of the highways and byways of Paris, but their ability to handle a horse in the press of traffic and to get a fallen beast on his feet, j When they appeared on the streets ev erybody wanted to ride in their cabs. The Parisians love nothing so much as an amusing innovation and tire news paper reporters who described their journeys through the boulevards, spiced with the comments of the crowds and the Jibes of the male "cochers"," render ed their success complete. The jokes In the newspapers and on the stage, the Jeers and ridicule of their rivals Immed iately attracted the sympathy of the public and the "cochers" were never without a fare and their "tips" were both numerous and generous. Finally some of the male "cabbies" decided it was more profitable, instead of scoffing to try to share in the golden harvest. by masquerading as women. Accord ingly they shaved off their moustaches, discarded their high glazed "plugs" for the flat variety affected by their com rades or tne fair sex, donned capes in stead of overcoats. At a distance the disguise was com plete. If the prospective fare discover ed the fraud when the cab drove up to the curb fear of the laugh of the Paris- Ian crowd prevented a protest. Among the women who' have qualiSed and are now regularly plying their vocation of 'cabbie" is the Countess de la Curl- viero. She was an expert whip In the days of her prosperity and now in the days of adversity is using her knowl edge to gain her livelihood.

Uncle Sam will have a score to settle with us if he Is not more careful of such important documents as these weekly letters. The last one was mail ed at the proper place and time, but dis appeared in quite a melodramatic way. Hence the gap in our series of club let ters. The programme for the meeting at Kansas City May 6 to 10 has been well planned, and is under way. The recep tion takes place Monday evening. May 6, at Union Club hall. Tuesday morning the Federation will convene in the First Presbyyterian church. This ses sion will be devoted to the opening ex ercises, reports of officers, etc. Tues day afternoon there will be club reports and we expect to have a two minute report from every club represented and the forestry department. Tuesday evening, literature, in charge of Mrs. Jeannette Scott Benton of Fort Scott, and music, with Mrs. Flora Bate Ken ney, of Emporia. In charge, will fill the time. Wednesday, May the morning will be devoted to more club reports and to the civil service reform commit tee, with Mrs. J. T. Pringle of Burlin- game.-as chairman. Wednesday arter noon will be open, and the local enter tainment committee expects to offer some delightful diversion. Wednesday evening, education and philanthropy will fill the time with Mrs. Helen Wagenseller of Junction City and Mrs. Harryy O. Garvey of Topeka, in charge. Thursday morning.

C, will address the meeting on Thursday evening, and will hring with her the exhibit which she made at the biennial. Mrs. Jean Sher wood of Chicago, chairman of the general federation committee on art, will speak on Thursday afternoon.

Besides these speakers there will be subjects vitally treated by the bright er of club women, music rendered by the most gifted musicians of the state, and a free opportunity given to every club to report directly from the floor. Altogether there has been no greater promise for any meeting of the fed eration. The date is placed after the housecleanlng and spring sewing and before the commencements, so could not be more opportune: and rates will he afforded at one and one-third fares on all roads.

Each day the gallery has been visited by many Salina people and It was greatly enjoyed. The club womer. of the city are well pleased with the re sults of the exhibit, not in respect to the receipts, but in regard to the benefit derived from the display of art ar.d the pleasure taken in it by the visitors. One thing most edifying to them was the fact that the school children of th city were so enthused over the exhll.it and listened to the excellent lectures by Mrs. Aplington with the greatest In terest. There were at least 00 school children who visited the gallery in com pany with their teacher during the two days' exhibit, not counting the mem bers of the high school and business college who attended. Mrs. Aplii'gton in her inimitable manner, gave hr in teresting and enthusiastic are talks and endeared herself once more to the art enthusiasts of Salina. Mrs. Arling ton addressed a room packed with peo ple Wednesday evening. "The audi ence," Mrs. Aplington said, "was une of the nicest I ever addressed." The success of this exhibit was eo great that the club women wished to extend it for two or three more days, but due to other conflicting dates rae gallery could not be left. Mrs. Ap lington expects to return to the city in a week or so on her way to the northwestern part of the state; wheie she will exhibit the gallery at the dif ferent towns for a month. The club women wish to thank Sup erintendent Crissman and the teachers of the city schools for the interest they took in the exhibit, and without whese hearty co-operation the exhibit would not have been so much of a success. The ninth biennial bulletins have be gun to arrive. They will be sent this year to the state presidents, who are asked to publish them officially. Bulle tin No. 1 follows: THE NINTH BIENNIAL.

Mrs. Kate Aplington of Council Grove, superintendent of the state fed eration's traveling art gallery, visited Kinsley, Lindsborg and Salina with the gallery during the past fortnight. She was in Kinsley from tne llth to the 16th and almost the whole population enjoyed the gallery, which was shown in connection with a local arts and crafts exhibit described by-Mrs. Ap lington as especially good and a credit to the club women of Kinsley, and especially Mrs. Colver, president of the woman's club, who was chiefly re sponsible for it. Mrs. Aplington gave a talk on American art which was well attended and thoroughly enjoyed. A $700 collection of Copley prints were shown in addition to the art gallery. Copies of Whistler, Vedder, Hunt and Van Ingen pictures were purchased by Kinsley citizens. "The arts and crafts exhibition of Kinsley," says Mrs. Ap lington. "was a credit to the whole vi cinity, and can not fail to be of the utmost artistic advantage to the en tire states. It has been decided to make this an annual exhibit. The club women have pledged $120 for the new citv hall, and the proceeds of the ex hibit went to this fund." Mrs. Aplington was in Lindsborg the 15th and 16th, and in Salina Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. In Linds borg every school had a booth, and every pupil exhibited some of his work. The art training which Bethany col lege has disseminated made the ex hibit especially appreciated in this vil lage. A good fund was raised for the purchase of pictures for the public schools. In Salina Mrs. Aplington gave three lectures, one in the high school, one at the business college, and a special art talk Wednesday evening for the club women. All three were well at tended. Six hundred pupils, with their teachers, visited the exhibit. Mrs. Ap lington was the guest of Mrs. May Belleville Brown while in Salina. The new club house, the Colonial, which has Just been completed by the society women of New York, is one of the finest buildings of its kind in the world. The women of Snringflald. Mass., have just completed a $0,000 club house, and the Wednesday club of St. Louis expects Its club house to cost over a $100,000. Denver has Its own beautiful club house, and there ;re many more in tho country that are in some period of construction in antici pation of the necessity of the times. THE TOPEKA CLUB WOMAN'.

I tried everything I could hear of. I had no doctor, but I went into a drug store where I was well acquain ted and asked the druggist if he knew of anything that would be good for me. He said: 'Of course I do. Just ra cake of Cuticura Soap.' I got and it did my hair good the first time I used it. My sister-in-law couldn't keep toe dandruff off the top of her baby'u head, and the hair wouldn't grow. I was there, had a cake of Cuticura Soap with me. I told her about it, and gave her the Cuticura Soap, and in about three months I went there again, the child's head was covered with hair and not a sign of dandruff. My sister said it was the Cuticura Soap. The child is not past three years old and has a lovely head of hair. Mrs. E. W. Shigley, Columbus, Kan., Oct. 25, 1905."

The Plate Journal Is a member of the Associated Press and receives tne run u7 telegraph report of that great ntw or nnlutinn for the excluaivs afternoon The iwa Is received In The State Jour nal building ever wires for this sole cu ttoee. Explosions are still occurring In San (Francisco. To Inquirer No, the freeze yester- 4ay did not Injure the peach crop. There Is great dinger that Abe Ruef will crowd Harry Thaw off tne nrst 11 Anyway, the Ice man Is not grieving at having summer arrive ahead of Us schedule. Perhaps the president and Gover unr Ttancm only talked about the Thaw case. This Is the time of year that the pay and festive cyclone usually get3 Tlpe In Texas. Possibly Evelyn Thaw will have to furnish some more evidence now to a lunacy commission. The man who gets very indignant over the way the city is run, forgot to register again yesterday. Oklahoma reports a temperature of 102 in the shade. That constitutional campaign down there must be exces sively warm. Some railroad magnates are appar ently color blind to the danger signals that public opinion Is hanging out for them. Mr. Whlpp has been nominated for mayor of Concordia, and he will un doubtedly do it to anyone who runs against him. Abe Ruef weuld like to have Mr. Delmas defend' him.' But the unwrit ten law would be apt to work the other way in Abe's case. And now the government has arrest ed the Santa Fe and Rock Island for not watering stock. What's a poor rail road company to do? A Kansas editor inadvertently Epeaka of It as "the maximum fright bill." But he wasn't so far off, for that Is what It gave the railroads. Some people are blaming It on the comet and the others are blaming it on the spots on the sun. Take your choice. It doesn't cost anything either way. Grover Cleveland speaks of "'n nosity of explanation," Mr. Cleveland must have noted some of the explain Ing done by members of the Kansas state senate. The "400" are alleged to have been caught in the panic If so, they will doubtless welcome that $10,000,000 that Mrs. Russell Sage has given to help "society." The first day of spring, 1907, ran the mercury up to 91 degrees, which is considered fairly warm," even in July. The manufacture of new records Is be ginning early this season. Those suffragettes in England are asking parliament to please pass the ballot Just as one would ask the person farther down the table to please pass the butter but without results. This idea of running in a spell of July weather in March ought not to be tolerated. Ninety-degree weather ought to be prohibited by law until the trees give some little shade. The "Wichita Beacon Is urging all citizens to vote. "Every city," it says, "Is better off where all its citizens par ticipate in the government." Perhaps that Is the reason some citizens partici pate three or four times. There is no doubt that some or suf fered severely In the Wall street flurry, but the Identity of the sufferarg has not been entirely established. Tt govs without saying, however, that the us ual number of lambs were shearec". Frank Nelson, who will leave Kansas to become the president of a Minnesota college, is a member of the state text book commission. It Is to be hoped that Governor Hoch will find as good a man to take Mr. Nelson's place when It becomes necessary, but It will bo no easy task. The Kansas supreme court has decid ed that where a policyholder In a fra ternal Insurance order becomes an hab itual drunkard his policy becomes veld If it eo provides. In this day and ace It Is becoming the custom to sue the man who created the drunkard for damages incurred by those dependent on the drunkard for support. News from many Rock Island towns throughout Kansas Indicates that that road is making a great many Improve ments this spring. Has not the Rock Island heard of this anti-railroad agi tation that calls for "retrenchment' It appears to be getting ready to nan die its business and improve its serv ice, thereby making money for Itself and for Its patrons, In. spite of .the "agitation." A SATURDAY SERMON. Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neitner be thou envious against tne worn era of lnfnuitv. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. rsaim Zt :i-z. It has been almost a year since the great upheaval occurred In San Fran Cisco on April 18, 1906. Once more the attention of the country Is directed toward the Golden Gate, and another upheaval is the cause, but this time It is an upheaval of graft. In a hotel room In San Francisco there is a small, curly-headed man un der guard. Two men watch him night and day, asleep or awake, all the time In his room. Outside the room four others are on guard. He is the politi cal boss of San Francisco, about to face a court of justice to answer to charges of graft. For years this man has run the poll tics of the Pacific metropolis, and seemed impossible to shake off his grip. Business interests were com pelled to pay tribute to him, and pub lic officials were puppets in his con trol. He made and unmade men at his pleasure, and the mayor of that great city is now vnder Indictment with him. The night before the Republican state convention at San Jose a few months ago -the convention which nominated the present state officials of California a dinner was given by one of the leading politicians to a dozen or so political friends. At that dinner photograph was taken. In the center of the picture, as a guest of honor. Is seated Abe Ruef, grafter and political boss. By his side, with his hand rest ng familiarly on Ruef's shoulder, stands the man who, on the next day, was nominated for governor of Cali fornia, the present chief executive of that state. Ruef was petted and bowed down to. He was consulted and his in fluence was courted by statesmen Why? Because he owned the San Francisco delegation. It was his to do with as he pleased. Yet now this man, after being a fu gitive from justice, is under heavy guard with the state's prison yawning before him. AH the money, all the prestige and influence at his command will not save him. He has already ap pealed to every technicality that smart lawyers could invent to defeat Justice nd the law, but in vain. Sixty-six in dictments have been returned against him, and it seems impossible for him to escape punishment. And with him will doubtless be pun ished many another who has been cor rupted under his influence. For While Ruef has reigned San Francisco has become one of the most corrupt cities In America. Bribery has been re garded as an everyday matter. But the wicked shall not always flourish, and Abe Ruef and his pals must at last pay the penalty. Bribe giver and bribe-taker will alike be punished. The millionaire monopol ist and the poor city employe, whom he has corrupted, have been caught in the meshes with Ruef and, if reports from San Francisco are correct, some public service magnates are likewise destined to look through prison bars Sometimes it seems as though graf ters get along better than honest peo ple, but there Is sure to come a time when they will reach the end of their rope. WHAT BURTON MIGHT TELL. An editorial which bears all the ear marks of the pen of "Victor Murdock is published as a "leader" in the Wichita Eagle, and it contains an extremely pertinent suggestion. Commenting on the expectation that ex-Senator Bur ton's address at Abilene tonight will be sensational the Eagle says: No attack upon the president that Burton can make will be sensational. because the public knows that the ex senator is bitter in that regard, and a enunciation of his policies is to be ex pected from him. "We believe," continues the editor ial, "that the meat of Burton's speech ill be a demand for the curbing of executive power, and while that can not be sensational, strong utterance along that line always has an au dience. Mr. Burton is known to have conviction that the domination of the legislative branch of government by the president is subversive of rep resentative government, and it will not e surprising if he also insists that the executive, through his right in choice of judges. Is possessed of similar con trol of the judiciary. What Burton, In thus holding, fails to remember is that the executive's power, as we see it today. Is the result, not of usurpa tion of the legislative function, but of partisan government." The Eagle then argues that the president is powerful over congress because he Is at the head of the party which has a control of the congress. His control Is not because of the pa tronage he has to give: It is because he formulates party policies and congress is under the necessity of carrying these policies out. The executive has little control over the judiciary. Any president appoints but few judges dur ing his short tenure. He can, as presi dent, arouse public sentiment in a way to make moss-grown Judges respond to public demand. "If Burton attacks the president," says the Eagle, "it will do no one any good, and will do Burton harm." Then comes the pertinent part of the editorial, and the suggestion, orig inating as it apparently does with Vic tor Murdock, Is Interesting to say the least. Mr. Murdock, himself a mem ber of congress, has doubtless learned a number of things In Washington. "Burton could be sensational.", he says, "If he would talk along another line. He knows how many United1 States. senators are elected, the chan nels of control which reach down from New York city-to nearly every state capital in the United States. He was In his day a master of legislative poll tics. He knows the ropes. Of all the men in the world, he Is In a position to speak out. If he would do so, he would be of service to the people. "It is said -that there Is in an office In New York city a card index which shows how every prominent legislator in the nation, congressmen. United States senators, state officers and leg islators, stand upon railroad questions, where men are catalogued as friendly and unfriendly; as controllable and uncontrollable. 'Burton, who was so long In legis lative politics doubtless knows wheth er this Is true or not, and whether Rogers or Morawetz or Ryan Is In charge of the bureau which names people's United States senators for them. "If Burton should tell, his speech would be a sensation Indeed." This department Is not qualifying as an expert, but It desires to express the opinion that this year s spring mil linery is about the limit or worse. Of course Kansas has forgiven Bur ton, but it Is liable to forget that it has done so if he resumes his old mariner of life. This water that has been squeezed out of stocks recently: Is it tainted?

When God Almighty put Adam and Eve In the Garden of Eden He laid down the Square Deal Law for them to follow, liye'up to and obey, but the devil broke in and knocked out the Square Deal; and from that day to this all nations, peoples and tongues have paid a blasted sight more attention to the forked tailed old Teorobato than they have .to God Almighty, the Golden rule, the Square Deal, perse verance of the Saints and the holy grail. And from the day of Adam to the adjournment of the Kansas legis lature the world has been more or less dominated by the devil and his ma chine. .Mati in all ages has been given over to hardness of heart and repro bacy of mind, largely because he Is a self sufficient, two letreed hoe. who cares nothing about what- happens provided It doesn't happen to him. Love of God, lpve of country, honesty, decency, fairness, the golden rule have nothing to do with, nor does any of It enter into the makeup of the two legged brute who bv hvnoerisv and lv- lng gains political position or power. And the able-bodied lying that Is at this moment being resorted to by sup posedly honest men to square them selves with their constituent, is ap palling. Members of the late Ipcls- lature who broke every promise made to the peonle. .who hetraved vrv trust so honestly entrusted to them by a too trusting constituency, are here in Topeka and are afraid to go home be cause of this political villainy.

The rich gift which Mrs. Russell Sage makes to the people of the United States In the "Sage Foundation," Is of special moment In that it is meant to serve important public interests which have hitherto received comparatively little attention of a practical and effi cient kind. Its object is "the improve ment of social and living conditions in the United States" In brief, the eleva tion of the general standard of living. The need of such work nobody will question. It has been a frequent- re proach, directed against this country by its own citizens as much as by for eigners, that the art of living is too much neglected here, and that It Is largely merited: few thoughtful s ob servers will dispute. We have here residences and tenements, means of transportation, schools, churches, hos pitals, clubs, places of amusement and entertainment and all the material ele ments and adjuncts of the highest type of life. But their right combination and use, so as to get the fullest good out of them, are things yet to, be achieved. New York Tribune; HARRIMANVliT HARRIMAN.

"Am I the joy to your soul that you are to mine, Roger?" Cynthia's drawling voice could lend itself to bits of sarcasm in a way that would have maddened a less Inflam mable person than Roger Somers. Roger was enveloped In a scowl that made it seem incredible he could ever have entertained thoughts of be ing the joy of anybody's soul Cyn thia's own .particular soul being be yond-the limits of possibility. Did you -address me? His cool ness added decidedly to Cynthia's in terest. She raised herself in the ham mock, and arranged the cushions with the. care of one who Is determined to get comfort out of life. I was trying my- voice, sweetly, It's been growing rusty for the last hour." Roger -eat stolidly on the doorstep, his back eloquent with offended dig nity. "One labors under such an incon venience In addressing the back of one's audience." The audience, however, kept Its eyes upon a distant spot on the lawn, trying to concentrate its mind upon the exact spot where the driveway met, and wondering why the place didn't seem the bit of heaven It had appeared a week before upon entering through that driveway to become one of Mrs. Keener's guests. "I feel such an inclination to er babble, Roger, that if you don't mind, I will continue to put it into sentences for er my own entertainment. Do you mind my saying that I never have seen such a bunch of dignity as your back represents? I can not, without making an effort that the warmth of the day forbids, see more of you than the back of your blue Serge coat, a slight glimpse of profile, and the tips of your patent leathers where the sun strikes them." She leaned back In the hammock, shamelessly convulsed with her own wit. It was clearly evident that Cyn thia was enjoying herself. "Well If you are waiting for an an swer to that psychological problem you propounded," Roger sat erect, de lighted with the alliterative impres slveness of his opening remark, "we can probably reach the answer with less difficulty If we go about it logical ly. The statement that I am a joy to your soul we will let that remain undisputed until It Is clearly proved that you have a Soul." Cynthia looked at him in frank de light, an appreciative smile curving her libs. She thought it possible the audionce might face Iter soon, so she changed the cushions and put the rose colored one next her face. "You have such a beautiful flow of Tansruasre. Roger." there was a sweet ness in her- voice- that caused the audience to turn and look at her quickly to discover the possibility of latent sarcasm, "l often wisn l couia talk." "Good Lord!" his fervor left no doubt as to his sincerity, "is It really a fact that you have recently lost your voice? I thought you were merely loki?" "You had sulked for an hour. I might as well talk to a stone wall as the back of a serge coat. Now I ad mit cheerfully that I have a fiendish temper you, according to your own showing, are never movea Dy a strong er or less meritorious feeling than righteous indignation. As for me Roger, did you ever see me wnen i was really angry." That Cynthia was an adept at facing an audience no one of ner acquaint ances would have denied. Pehaps the possession of an adorable nose and. a fluffy mass of curly hair strengthened her innate self-confidence, anyway Roger, having once looked, had a feeling that he had. In some way, weakened for the fray. Not that he intended erivlng Cynthia any Inkling of the slight feeling of mollification that stole over him but the ruffles fell around her forearm in a most dis tracting manner. His eves softened into pity, tne poor girl had had so little opportunity for learning self-control. Taking a course as a trained nurse had, at one time. been her fad not that she ever ex pected to be one, but because a desire for knowledge, and an everlasting pro pensity for trying experiments seemed to have been born in her. Rozer. In the depths of his soul, naa always disapproved of trained nurses. Her last escapade naa completely con vinced him that there was nothing more unsuited for a woman than sucn profession. Was there any otner circumstance. he asked himself, that would have made It seem oroper to Mrs. Keener s household that Cynthia should sit In that man Harding's room all the morning, because Harding's cold had giveh him a fever that made him talk out of his head? Mrs Keener or one of the servants could have, given that medicine. I was sorry not to go rowing wun you last evening me muuiiugui that river is something one doesn't see a Itt-avs." There was an expression in her eyes thflt waa reminiscent. Roger broke off viciously the piece of honeysuckle vine mat naa d Hoirilno- the back of his neck. "There were perhaps other things that appealed to you more," coldly. "You know I prefer rowing," In sinuatingly. "Perhaps if Harding had been well enough to do the rowing. Not that I kiinn. he'i alclc enousrh to amount to anything," refusing to give an lota of doubt as to Harding's general aupucuy of nature. "He talked out of his head all about a girl." She shamelessly broke all rules of etiquette as to confidence between nurse and patient. Roger's Increased scowl annihilated the possibility of belief that he ever had been, or ever could be a joy to any S "That's exactlv what I thought he was raving about," hotly "all about loving a girl." "It was evidently a very nice girl he called her dearest -I think he even referred to her as er an angel." The childishness of her smile seemed Insuf ficient cause for the symptoms of apoplexy Roger was exhibiting. AnH vnti sat there all the morning and let that Idiot make love to you His sentence was swallowed In a snort of disgust.. Cynthia glanced at the writing pad near her, wondering if it would not be salutary to Roger's manners if she for got his existence and wrote letters the rest of the morning. As the scratching of her pen became more noticeable, the .audience thought It owing to its dignity to disperse, and walked across the lawn toward the gate. Its hands stubbornly In its pock ets. Roger leaned over the gate discon solately. She had seemed so dif ferent the last time they had been on the river. She had really come so near sayingT everything he wanted her to say that he had walked around for hours afterward in a state of ecstasy. He tried to possess his soul in pa tience, waiting for the next evening, when she had promised to go with him on the river and perhaps say exactly what he wanted her to say. Roger con sidered it a piece of malignity of fate that Harding that Idiot Harding should have been taken so 111 or, at least, should have pretended he was so vio lently 111. The soreness of his heart added a suggestion that Cynthia prob ably jumped at an escape from giving him the answer he was so anxious for. The pleasant odor from the honey suckle vines that clambered over the hedge the effect of the soft breeze that gradually fanned some of the heat from his brow something Induced him to saunter slowly toward the veranda. Cynthia had probably, he thought, had time to finish her letter In the half hour that had elapsed. He saw that she was fast asleep evidently she had not been worrying much. There was a note conspicuously addressed and conspicuously pinned on a ruffle of the rose-colored cushion. He reached for it with an eagerness he would never have allowed the wak ing Cynthia to behold. Perhaps, after all, she might be amenable to reason ing, her somewhat flighty nature might gain sobriety from contact with him. Cynthia with a slight addition of so briety he gave a sigh that intimated it was more bliss than one man could properly realize. His fingers were ner vous as he tore the note from Its en velope. Joy of my soul" It ran "your moods are truly a delight. They afford all kinds of opportunities for studies In human nature. After all, we are rather much alike, a mere matter of tempera ment, I suppose. If you prefer calling yours righteous Indignation, I don't mind mine ean still go under the name of plain temper. He was really sick, Roger, and the girl he raved about he called Helen. I am awfully fond of rowing, and am ready to go on the river any time, whether the sun Is shining broiling hot or the moon like it was the other night, Just as soon as your righteous indigna tion calms down to a degree that would make It safe for a person to get within ten feet of you." Roger leaned over Into the depths of the hammock, his face well mixed with pink cushion and sleeve ruffles. Wake up, Cynthia," he whispered, "I'm in a heavenly frame of mind." (Copyrighted by Homer Sprague.) Aluminum's History. The history of aluminum, now in gen eral use In the form of kitchen utensils and other everyday appliances.is known to few people. William E. Curtis, writ ing in the Chicago Record-Herald, says that the first practical use ever made of the metal was In fitting a cap on the peak of the Washington monument in 1884. Although aluminum was discov ered In 1827 by Prof. Wohler of Got- tingen university, Germany, at that time It was practically an unknown metal, the cost and difficulty of its pro duction having prevented its develop ment until the general use of electricity made it easy and economical. The cap on the top of the monument Is a square pyramid in shape, weighing 100 ounces, and is 8.9 inches in height and 5.6 Inches In width at the base. Gen. George W. Davis, now on the retired list and residing in Washington, was in immediate charge of the completion of the monument under Gen. Casey, and has the- distinction of being the first man to handle aluminum In a practical way. Until that time It had been used only for toys, for "freak" purposes, and small samples had been utilized in mak ing models for the patent office. In 1905, however, the production of alum inum w-as 11,347,000 pounds, valued at $3,246,300; In 1904 the production was 8,600,000 pounds, valued at $2,477,000. The total for 1906 will be much larger. The development of the industry Is rapid. The Pittsburg Production company, which now holds a monopoly of the manufacture of aluminum, has recently changed its name to the Aluminum company of America, and is controll ed by the Melllns, of Pittsburg .who op erate pipe lines for oil to New York ani Philadelphia. QUAKER REFLECTIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. Some fellows never pay up till you run them down. A Kensington hatter advertises: "We cap the climax." The voice of conscience never has to go abroad for cultivation. Few men thank heaven that they have more than they deserve. Even tne fat woman may try to make light of her avoirdupois. People who live In glass houses should beware of the glass eater. A girl can generally manage to keep the tears back if crying makes her nose red. The common scold is generous when it comes to giving a piece of her mind. wgg "Young Saphedde seems perfectly tireless." Wagg "In making other people tired, yes." Borem "They say it taxes tnree gen erations to make a gentleman." Cynicus Too bad you didn't begin on your grandfather." Wigwag "Scribbler has written a lot of successful books. Which is his best seller?" Guzzler "I should say his wine cellar." Mrs. De Lancey Place "They are old-fashioned people, are they not?" Mrs. Maln-Lyne "Oh, very. They even have a last year's automobile." POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. Everything comes to the man who pays spot cash. Clothes do not make the man or the chorus girl. How the henpecked man does crow when he is away from home! When the. lid Is on tight some men have an excuse for being sober. Matrimony, is a kind of dynamite used to explode the theories of bach elors. Wero It Impossible to speak any-. thing but the truth we would have few friends. A woman enjoys reading old love letters more than a man enjoys writing new ones. If some men were paid according to their worth their pay days would be few and far between. A woman's confidence in a- man usually depends upon her liking for him, rather than, upon his reliability.

OOge liarrtr bays Supreme Court Has Decided. Uesult of Controversy Vaccination Question. I! vr The board of education and the board of health are at open warfare. The board of health has ordered the high ichool and Lafayette school to be closed and will place guards on Monday to en force their edict. The board of educa tion says the two schools will open as usual Monday and declares that the board of health has not the power it is trying to assert. "The board of health is exceeding its authority," said Rev. F. E. Mallory, president of the board of education. "Conditions are not such as would war rant any action of that kind. If they can show conclusively that an epidemic exists it is possible that the schools could be closed but I don't think they can snow anything like such a condi tion. They can't close one or two schools and let the rest remain ODen. The schools would have to be closed gen erally. "No, we won't stand for anvthine like that." said T. F. Garver, another mem ber of the board. "In 1902 a case came up to the supreme court from Ford county in which it was decided that the board could not exclude anyone from school on the condition that they were not vaccinated. There is no especial statutory authority to provide fc ex elusion and you would have to have that. They can't close the schools. They nave overshot their mark. Board or Health Ultimatum The Topeka high school with its 020 students and Lafayette with 338 more are cicsed upon orders of the board of health which met in executive session the greater part of this morning. The board deliberated several hours and then sent an ultimatum to the board of education as follows: "Inasmuch as the board of educa tion has failed to execute through au thority invested In it by city ordin ances the recommendation of the board of health pertaining to the ex clusion of pupils attending the Tope- I by authorized and empowered to ex ka high school and Manual high elude from the public" schools of 9aid school, also Laafayette school, "And inasmuch as the said board of health is powerless to protect the pub- lie health except through the state quarantine law, 'Therefore it Is hereby ordered that the said schools shall be closed until the board of education shall comply w ith the recommendation of the board of health in excluding pupils who have not been effectively vaccinated or until the danger of the threatened epidemic has passed." The action was taken because the board of education refused to exclude students who have not been vaccin ated. About 800 students of the high school have been vaccinated, one hun dred and fifty claim to have been vac cinated but can not produce certifi cates through various causes, -while "5 others refuse to submit to vaccination because they do not believe in it. Six cases of smallpox are under quarantine in the city at this time. The board of education had a spec ial meeting yesterday afternoon to take up the matter of vaccination due to the exposure of students at both high school and Lafayette school ts smallpox. The board by a vote of nine to one. Dr. M. R. Mitchell not concur ring, voted to adopt the following ac tion: "That we admit all of the pupils now out of school by the vaccination rder heretofore issued by the super intendent and that the names of those who have not been vaccinated be fur nished to the board of health for such action as It may wish to take with reference to such persons. "In view of the fact that the best medical authorities of the country be lieve that by vaccination the effects of emallpcx is lessened .and its spread checked, the city beard of health con curring in the above view, that we, as a board, recommend that all pupils of the city schools who have not been vaccinated effectively be vaccinated." The effect of the measure adopted by the board of education was simply t4 recommend vaccination but placed no ban upen those who failed to produce rufficient evidence that they had sub mitted to vaccination. Wouldn't Furnisli Names. The board, however, offered to fur nish the names of the 75 students who refused to be vaccinated and in addi tion all those that it thought required vaccination, to the board of health. f"ffe don't care anything about the names." said Dr. H. B. Hogeboom. city physician. "We are not attempting to force vaccination upon any one. All that we demand Is that those who have not been' Vaccinated be excluded from the rchools. We have checked this right back up to the board of education. We have ordered the two schools to be closed and we are acting under the state quarantine law which gives us that right. We will have guards sta tioned at the two school buildings to see that our orders are carried Into ef fect on Monday. "As far as we are concerned It is to be understood that the two schools are closed now. If they open it will be with the understanding that the chil dren not vaccinated have been exclud ed from attendance." Closeted with the members of the board of health present, who were Dr. XL s, Plummer, president; Dr. C. B. j SATURDAY EVENING. Van Home, and Dr. H. B. Hogeboom were Dr. S. J. Crumbine. secretary the state board of health, and F. Drenninf. citv attornev Dr Crumbine advised the board of health, and told them it was entirely within the oower of the board, to en force an order to close the two schools by operating under the state quaran tine law-.- F. G. Drenning, city attor ney. backed ud Crumbine by declar ing that the board of neaitn was clear ly within its rights and could enforce any order against the board of educa uon. "We don't want to be arbitrary or mean about this," said Dr. Plummer. The fact is, we have exercised consid erable leniency. We have accepted scars that probably no one else woul I have accepted as evidence of suffi I cient vaccination, and in every' othe way we have endeavored to bridge over the trouble. We are- as much interest ed In the schools of the city as the board of education we are residents here and have children in the schools, But we are charged with maintaining the hea'th of the city, and: we must see that the charge is carried out, Hpre is a hnv who hai hppn attendlnc the higli ,-chool and rubbing elbow i t .u.

We are no requiring them or trying to force any one to be vaccinated "Here are eight hundred children that have been vaccinated. said Dr. I Hogeboom. "The majority should rule, in u i.i l ngni to let rnose mat nave not been vaccinated go right along to school with those that have when the former have complied with the order of the board of health. It isn't the square thing for the majority to be treated in tnat way." Members Are at Sea. The board of education was some what at sea as to what position it real ly intended to assume j-esterday Rev F. K. Mallory, president of the board said: "We didn't deny the rieht of tne Doard or nealth to exclude indi vidual members of the school from at tending where vaccination did not ex ist, but we did deny the power of the Doard to enforce vaccination. That il the view the board of health took. T. F. Garver. member of the board took a different view and stated that the board of health simply had the power to recommend to the board of ed ucation that vaccination be enforced. that the board of health could neither insist on vaccination nor exclude stu dents that had not been vacicnated. The exposure of the students at the high school occurred on Friday of last week when Glen Cooper, an upper class man ,who resides at 934 North Monroe, was taken 111 with the smallpox on the same day that he had been attending classes. The children at Lafayette school were told to be vaccinated last Monday when it was discovered that S. W. Coursey of aui .aFt Liogan street had been sick with smallpox for eight days, during all of which time his two children had been regularly attending school. The city ordinance states: "It shall be the duty of all persons residing in the city or xopeka, who have not been ef I fectivelv vaccinated for smsllnor tn w vaccinated whenever the board of health shall publish an order to that effect in the official city na per. and it shall- be the-duty of all parents or .other persons In charge of children over three years of age to have; them effectively vaccinated. It shall be the duty of the board of health to make such other rules governing vaccination as may be necessary, subject to the approval of the mayor and council. The board of education of the city of Topeka is here- citv all children who have not been ef- fectivelv vaccinated whenever the hnaH of health of said city shall inform said board of education that it is necessary for the public health of the city that the same should be done." ROOSEVELT TO HELP. Will Aid Marvin in Search for Ills Lost Child. Washington. March 23. President Roosevelt addressed the following let ter to H. X. Marvin of Dover, Tela., who asked the president If govern ment aid could not be extended toward the recovery of his missing child: "My Dear Mr. Marvin: I am in re ceipt of your telegram of the 2 2d in stant. Anything that the government can do to help you will of course be done; for save only the crime of as sault upon women there Is none so dreadful as that which has brought heartbreaking sorrow to your house hold. I have at once communicated with the postoffice department asking that all aid we have in our power to give along the lines you mention or in any other way that may prove practi cable be given you. Sincerely yours, "THEODORE ROOSEVELT." In his telegram to the president Mr. Marvin said that many threatening let ters are sent him every day saying that his boy may be killed by a supposed captor and suggested that they be looked into. He also said that he had sent out pictures and notices regard ing his kidnaped boy and was told that the postmasters were not allowed to display them in the public buildings. The father said he believed a word from the president to the federal authorities might be the greatest aid of alll. Seen at Portsmouth. England. Portsmouth, Eng., March 23. A boy answering exactly Marvin's de scription in every detail was seen here March 19. He has disappeared, but the police are hopeful of finding him. This boy was seen at the harbor sta- .tlon in company with two men by Mr. Phillips, a chemist, who was waiting for a boat to take him to Ryde, Isle of Wight. His attention was attracted to the little follow by the fact that he continually asked his companions "when are you going to take me to my father?" Mr. Phillips the following day saw a newspaper announcement of the kid naping of Horace N. Marvin, jr., and recognized In the description the child he had seen. American Consul Swalm at Southampton learned that a boy was landed there March 19 from the steamship Minneapolis, which left New York March 10. The boy did not go to London .with the other passengers, but proceeded to the dock station. whence It is thought he was taken by train to Portsmouth. Charged with $30,000 Shortage.

Sajs He Is Glad to Get Back to Kansas. TALKS OF HIS PAPER Has Backing to Make It Success. Man He Didn't Know Gave Him $100 for Subscription. Ex-United States Senator Joseph Ralph Burton passed through Topeka on the one o'clock Rock Island train, to day on his way home from the Iron county, Missouri, jail where he has been confined for the past five months on a charge of violating a federal statue. With him in the Pullman car in which he was riding was his wife and two nieces. who have been living near hlra since his confinement in the jail at Ironton. He had expected to pass through To peka on the Union Pacific train which is due about an hour earlier but he missed connection in Kansas City and was compelled to take the Rock Island which will necessitate a change at Her ington if he reaches Abilene in time for his speech this evening. At the Union Pacific depot in North Topeka there were a dozen reporters awaiting his ar rival, a party of half a dozen ladies, in eluding Mrs. Frank Grimes and Miss Mary Finley and John seaton of Atchi son. Mr. Seaton was the only representa tive of the politicians of the state who was on hands to welcome back to Kan sas their old leader and when the train bearing the reporters left he accompan led them and did not wait for the Rock Island train bearing his old political Triend. While waiting for the arrival of the belated train Captain Seaton passed a letter about among the reporters which he had recently received from Senator Burton In reply to a letter which he had written. It was written in a jocular tone and bemoaned the fact that Cap tain Seaton had not visited him during his term of confinement in jail for, con tinued the letter, "you have s done enough meanness in your life I am sure o merit one day in jail at least and especially when you stop to consider that the companionship of this Institu tion is so much better than It is on the outside." The ex-senator stood on the rear ves tibule of the Rock Island train which backed into the yards a moment or sa after one o'clock and as the car pass ed an .acquaintance or two whom he recognized he tipped his hat and Waved. his hand. -Before the '-train-had come to' a full stop he had alighted and rushed"to'the group of ladies and grasped Mrs. Frank Grimes by the hand but after a hasty exchange of greetings he side stepped the reporters with the apology that he had business In the general offices of the Rock Island and sought the office f General Attorney M. A. Low. Mr. Low was out of the city and after a few words with the man in charge of the ticket office he again sought his train. "Now boys I have but little to say at this time," said the ex-senator, "and It is not news for it has already been said. Tonight I expect to turn loose some things which will be news to my hearers but until then I must ask you to excuse me." 'You are glad to be back in Kansas of course?" suggested a reporter. "Oh, yes, he replied, that goes with out saying, for Kansas has always been nd always will be the home of myself and family." 'Will you continue to affiliate with the Republicans of the state or will you Join tne uemocrats was asiteu. Who are tne uemocrats and wnere are they was tne question ne askea in answer. But senator, continued the ques tioner, "will you renounce your allegi ance to tne KepuDiican party ana bandon politics or will you etrlve in a easure to regain your lost political fortunes? "That all depends on what Republi canlsm is taken to mean. For the pres ent I am going to write for my paper. The Home Rule, and talk to supple ment what I write and write to supple ment what I talk. "My paper, "The Home Rule.' will as the name indicates, advocate home rule in all that it means and my best en ergies will be devoted to its success, have all the plans made for its publi cation but cannot say when the first issue will be out, for I Intend to see that the wheels are so oiled that a spoond edition will follow the first. "I have all of the capital behind me necessary for the venture. "Are your backers Abilene men?" was afkea. "Now I wish that you had not asked me that question, for just at this time I do not care to say, nut the backing is all that I will need and more, too." "I know that you boys want a good story and I wish that I could give. you one, but just at this time I can not and I wish that you would fill your space by writing about my paper 'The Home Rule," for its success means much to me though I feel that It is assured. The first subscription reached me several weeks ago when I was yet confined in the jail and there was a dollar en closed which I think was a good start er. 1 "On my way over here a man whom I do not know stepped up to me and asked what the subscription price of the Home Rule will be and when I told him $1 per year, he handed me a one hundred dollar bill and said 't want you to put me down for one hundred dollars worth for my heart is with you.' "Subscriptions have been pouring In by every, mail for the last month from every part of the country and the mat ter has received no advertising at all excepting through the stories you boys ha'e written about it." "I suppose that with the first Issue that the fur will commence to fly," suggested one of his questioners, "and that there will be plenty doing In high as well as low places?" "No." replied the ex-senator, with a half sigh. "I do not feel that way and it is not my idea to seek revenge on ,ny enemies who have persecuted me. Yet I have but two cheeks, and TOPEKA, KANSAS, MARCH 23, 1907. mere is no telling wnat time may bring forth. "My sole purpose now is to build up a paper of power which will advocate tome rule principles-ana until this I done It shall have my entire attention and perhaps later I shall have a little time to devote along ether lines. Tonight I shall make my first speech and that in my old home town wnich has stood so loyally by me through my troubles.' "Well," suggested one of the report ers, "is that one of the'mlld ones or Is that to be the ordinary run of your speeches and writings? Why do you ask, and how could you judge In advance anyway?" asked tne ex-senator. "Well," replied his questioner, "I spent two hours reading an advance copy, and It struck me as- being pret ty warm reading." Well, he replied, I might answer that by saying yes and then no.

Koehler, Fourth cavalry, who was court martlaled for making re marks derogatory to Major General Leonard Wood, his commanding officer, was acquitted. He will be restored to duty without prejudice. The result of the court-martial proceedings was an nounced at the White House last night. With this announcement was made public a statement from the president, in which he disapproved the verdict Mr. Roosevelt's statement follows: 'The proceedings, findings and ac quittal In the case of Captain Lewis M. Koehler, Fourth cavalry, are hereby disapproved. I entirely concur in all the secretary of war says of Captain Koehler and of General Wood, and of the poor showing made by the court which last passed upon the case. THEODORE ROOSEVELT. Army officers in commenting on the verdict, agreed that it is a severe re flection upon General Wood, and that no other construction can be placed upon It. They said that had the court martial not decided that the charges made by Captain Koehler had been substantiated he would have been found guilty. While none of these officers would talk regarding the case for pub lication, the views they expressed Indi cate clearly that In their opinion Cap tain Koehler has been fully vindicated. President Roosevelt in. taklfig action on the" findings of the court-martial was placed In an awkward -position. In transmitting th: papers to- Mr. Roose velt, Secretary Taft stated plainly that the president could not approve the findings without indorsing the charges made against General Wood by Captain Koehler. Such action, Mr. Taft ex plained, would have made it necessary for .him to order that General Wood also be court-martialed. In his state ment Secretary Taft sharply criticized Koehler, and it is with these views that Mr. Roosevelt concurs. Captain Koehler distinguished him self in the battle of Jolo, in the Philip pines. He was In command of two companies in Jolo. Major Hugh Scott was In command of the post at Jolo and was civil governor of that island. KDehler found fault with the manner in which Major Scott performed his duties, and as a result was court mar tlaled and sentenced to be reprimand ed.. Major General Wood, as com mander of the division or tne Jr-ninp- ines, administered the reprimand. In letter to the war department captain Koehler asserted that the language used by his superior officer showed prejudice. This letter astonlsned omciais or me ar denartment. When submitted to President Roosevelt by Secretary Taft the president ordered that Captain Koehler be court martlaled. Tne court martial proceedings were held In the PhllioDines. The findings of the court martial reached the war depart ment a month ago. bince tnen tney have been before Secretary Taft and the nresident. So carefully nave tney been guarded that until today few officers at the department knew what the verdict was. Meanwhile Koehler's friends in and out of the army have warmlv defended him. Senator Long and Senator Curtis and others mem bers of the Kansas delegation inier Captain Koehler is a brother-in-law of D. R. Anthony. He .married a sister of the Leavenworth editor.

His Attorney File Eight Af fidavits in Support of It. Chief Among These It That of Delphin M. Delmas. LETTERS AND NOTES. Written by the Defendant Dur ing the Trial Are. Attached and Offered as Part ef the Exhibit. New York, March 23. Affidavits of the defense of Harry K. Thaw as to his mental condition and whether a commission in lunacy should be ap pointed to examine him were filed at noon today w-fth the clerk of the su preme court. There were eight affi davits, of which, that of Delphin M. Delmas of Taaw's .counsel was first. Mr. Demas J-ft-his. affidavit, declares it to be his opiniohTKat Thaw has been and' Is "capable" jb understanding the nature and object of the proceedings going on. against. him, of comprehend ing his own condition In reference to such proceedings, and of conducting his defense In a rational manner and that during the. whole of the trial he has understood the- nature and object of such proceedings; has comprehend ed his own condition in reference thereto and has conducted his defense a rational manner. This opinion the affidavit says, is based upon the professional relations Mr. Delmas had had with the prisoner since the begin ning of the trial and the many com munications he has sent to Thaw and received from 'him.- Eighteen letters received by Mr. Delmas from Thaw during the trial and several slips of paper containing suggestions with reference to the con duct of the proceedings actually go ng on, which were handed him by the defendant in .the court room are made a part of the affidavit. Mrs. William Thaw in her affidavit denies that in the direct line of descent for four generations there has been any taint of insanity or epilepsy in the fam ily of Harry K. Thaw. She denounces what she terms the "malicious mlsrep resentatlon and gross exaggeration on this subject. She goes at great length into the family history of -the Thaws and the Copleys. She denies the "brutal assertion" that Henry W. Cop ley was "an imbecile from birth." Two vicious D05-3 frightened the lad at 6 years of age" with horrible masks into a state of terror. He Was ever after of feeble intellet. The letters attached to the Delmas affidavit contain numerous suggestions concerning the. conduct of the case. In one Instance Mn-Delmas is request ed tof-personally conduct the examina tion -'of alL -witnesses.-"Iii a letter sent during'ihe examination- of Mrs: Thaw the prisoner said: "My wife's strength Is ebbing. She can not recuperate until after the cross examination. It will be unfor tunate if she broke down and her testimony was stricken out. Her con dition of nervousness and sadness is erave. Can not Dr. Evans be kept back?" Another letter from Thaw to Mr. Delmas read: "Please arrange for Mr. Carroll Beckwith's testimony. Mr. Peabody has a brief thereon. We do not wish Jerome to further attack Mrs. Thaw in his rebuttal.- The further facts proved by Mr. Beckwith and the superior im pression he will pc-duce, may discour age Jerome from annoying Mrs. Thaw." Mr. Beck with Is one of the artists for whom Mrs. Thaw once posed. In still another letter Thaw declares that he knows a respectable young married woman, residing in Wisconsin, w-ho was willing to come on and testi fy that "S. W." enticed her to his studio and mistreated her. Exhibit "H" attached to Mr. Del mas' affidavit is a note from Thaw in which he says: "Dear Mr. Delmas: rnis is oniy to nAnra,tnl!it..V vou on your successes. vmir first- lone objection was, of e.ujrse. obvious.jbut you trapped Jer ome vonderfully-y your reference to a new -plant,-lnto shaking nis neaa no 1-011 wished, and SO concluding per rnfii.- The second lone one, against a new production of evidence in chief by the prosecution, was pronouncuu 111 a very powerful and high plane.

Increase In Production Makes Bounty Only 7.2 Cents. Secretary F. D. Coburn today gave out a report showing the distribution of me o,uuo sugar beet bounty offered by the legislature of 1905 the last sugar oeet county which will ever be offered in the state of Kansas. The bounty this year, owing to the vastly increased production, amounted to only .7.2 cents per ton. The. total number of tons raised wa 70,200, an increase of 715 oer -cent over l0o, and 224 per cent more than the state's total beet production since the beginning of commercial beet growing in 1901. Several of the 1906 beet grow ers made no claim for their bounty, and the J5.000 was divided among 245 claim ants, who raised 69,000-tons. The United States Sugar Land company, which built- the Jl.000,000 re finery at Garden City) and engaged ex tensively in the beet raising busines by means of tenants on its own farms, was the largest beet producer, and col lects $802.72 from the state as bounty on 11,077 tons of beets grown. The second largest producer was R. P. Davie, of Garden City, one of the of ficers of the company, who is entitled to $158.71 as bounty on 2,190 tons of beets. Renick Bros, raised 1,456 tons tons. and will get $105.58 In bounties, and A. B. Kramer of Garden City raised 1,171 tons and will get $84.90. These are the largest beet raisers in the state. IMPORTANT WILL LOSS. It Was In La Sa vole's Pouch. Stolen Mail New Tork, March 23. Unless the reg istered mail stolen from a pouch on La Savoie in January is recovered it means the loss of a part of an estate, valued at $1,000,000 to the beneficiaries of a will sent to France for probate. Under the provisions of this will the estate, or a large part of it, is said to have been left to-other than the legal heirs. The will was drawn by the late Charles Ruebens, a Frenchman by birth, but who came to America, where he amass ed a fortune. He died in Paris last summer and his will, which was In the custody of the law firm of Coudert Brothers, was forwarded to France In the registered mail that went abroad on La Savoie. It is said there are numerous claim ants for the estate and that unless there Is a certified copy of the will in existence the estate will be distributed as if the testator had died intestate.

Bucharest, Roumania, March 23 In the opinion of the Roumanian gov ernment the rising of the peasants In Moldavia is more of an anarchistic character than anti-semitic. In reply to requests for a Rtatemont ...u Ject today Finance Minister lonesni wrote the following note: "The present regrettable movement is not only of a n gntl.wmiu k -1 ofan agrarian and anarchistic char acter. The houses of christians, both, owners and tenants, have been de stroyed. The government has taken all the possible measures to cope with the movement, which must now be regard ed" more as an anarchistic campaign than anythinsr els.". According to the latest nirii.. celved here the movement is snrearl. ing southward. Bands, of peasants ia the Brahilov and Buzu districts, -mostly armed with cudgels, are maraudln over the farms, threatening the pro prtefcors with death unless they ameliorate-, the-j conditions of workmen. The government claims that the dis turbances .have been quelled in the dis tricts Into .which it has been able to get sufficient troops. A regiment of cavalry left here today for the Backau and Vaslu districts. In the Backsto; .Vaslu and Roman districts the peasants are well or ganized. Most of themi' have served In the army and thej' have formed them selves into companies and regiments under bffieers and are plundering small towns and villages, wherever there is an Insufficient number of troops to overawe them, without distinction as to nationality. In several Instances the farmers and land owners have yielded to the demands of the peas ants and the raids have ceased. In the attack, made by the peasants on troops at Blegestl. in the Backau district, which resulted In 14 of the attackers being killed, the peasants seized Colonel Poltzer. who was in command of the troops, and locked him up In the- house of the public prosecutor, which they were preparing to burn when the troops dispersed them. A serious encounter between troops and peasants has occurred at the small town of Mizaleni near the Bukovina frontier in the district of Dorohoi. Many peasants were killed during the fighting. The disturbed sections of the coun try have been placarded with an- an nouncement made by the government that a bill against farming trusts will be submitted to parliament during the present session.

lO THE TOPEKA. DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH 23,1907. AFTER HIS SCALP Back Fire Started on President Shirelj. Will Organization Stand for His Outlaw Declaration. ME WILL PASS IT ON. See What the National Com mission Says. Secretary Farrell Tells Terms of Topek aDeal. Chicago, March 23. Topeka belongs to the Western Baseball League, ac cording to J. H. Farrell, secretary of the National Association of Minor Baseball Leagues. In a communication received here last evening Mr. Farrell says: "At the meeting early In March at Buffalo of myself. President Shively, of the Western Association, and President O'Neill, of the Western League, an agreement was reached whereby the Western League was to get a Topeka franchise upon the payment of $2,600 cash and an additional $500 In a note payable In May of this year." President O'Neill said last night: "1 Intend to ask the national commis sion to make a ruling on the question whether Shively can publicly declare for outlaw ball and still be a member of organized bait I propose to go fur ther and ask the national board to de clare vacant Shively's position as a member of the said board. If the mem bers of our highest tribunal can talk outlaw baseball simply because they cannot run the organization to suit themselves lfs about time for us all to take our bats and go into our own back yards and play DaseDau. LEZOTTE Ef WILKESBARRE. TVmnw. irnnrta Plaver TVrbUC His Hand as Manager. Abel Leaotte, the big hard hitting outfielder who played with Topeka year before last, will manage Wllkes barre this year. The Sporting News gives him a column write up from which the following Is culled: Big Abel Lezotte believes that lie ha corralled a bunch of players from which ha can select a first-division team to perform under his debut as a manager in the New Tork State league, notwithstanding the big handi cap under which he has been forced to labor. He has written nearly 760 let ters and telegrams, and has received and read 900 missives from ball play ers and managers since the first of the year. This detail work he has per formed in addition to his duties at the Pennsylvania railroad freight station, and the club-owners feel that he has acquitted himself well In his efforts in their behalf. Somehow the impression is gained that many players desire to playing Wllkesbarre because the town has a good name among the profes sionals, this idea being sort of bol stered up by the comments made to Mr. Lezotte in their applications for positions on the team. Letters came from men who touted players as world-beaters, and from others who had "phenoms" to place, while other correspondents evidenced that they were sincere, and desired a trial, giv ing names and addresses of men who would recommend them. Mr. Lezotte has endeavored to exercise good judg ment in the acceptance of applicants, and has made diligent inquiry of those supposed to know about them. His work seems to have been fruitful, by the fact that he now, has 24 men un der contract, and the prospects are that fully 30 applicants for places on the club will be on hand for the spring practice work. He has a crowd of youngsters and seasoned players who, according to surface indications, pos sess the material for a fast team. BIDS $14,000 FOR MOSTGOMEBT. R. L.

Captain of the Eight Most Stop Row ing Because of "Weak Heart. New' Haven, Conn., March 23. Cap tain Noyes of the Tale crew has been compelled to announce his retirement. The coaches thought it the best thing ne could do, because of the poor con dition of his heart. He proved a star on tno varsity eight last season and as a result was elected to the position of captain for this year. Ha is also a golfer of note, and took part in the championships last fall in which Yale captured chief honors. Noyes is a St. .faul man. Grant Is to Coach o(re Dame. South Bend, Ind., March 23. A. A Grant of Defiance, Ohio, manager of tne South Bend team of the Central league, has been engaged to coach the Notre Dame squad. BASEBALL GOSSIP. The Cooleycrows had a day off yester day. Several of the men. Including Cooley, were out of town and as they have been working hard for several days the management thought it better to rest the players for a day. However this afternoon they went through the stunts of practice with a lot of vim. It Is less than a week now until" the first game of the season and the boys are anxious to show some of their Western League form when Washington comes here Flrday. Two of the recruits'of the White Sox have arrived in Topeka. Landreth and Landis who played with the team a short while last season rolled into town yesterday afternoon. Landreth is look ing especially fine and says he will be able to show some great form this sea son. Landreth in his early days was a pitcher in the short grass country and was considered a wonder. Like a good many pitchers, however, he used too much steam with the usual result of wearing out his arm prematurely and now as a penalty he must seek his laur els In the outer gardens. He looks good and will probably be worth keeping for another season at any rate even If he does not make good this season. Lan dis is in tip top shape and should make a good showing as well. Walter Boles Is working on the hew score cards for the season. Boles says that the new score cards will be as fine as were ever seen In the west. Every card which will be given away at the gates during every game will contain pictures of all the members of the team and not one player each series as was the case last year. Jack Halla of the White Sox Is ex pected from St. Louis tomorrow. Jack has been working hard all winter and will be In the best condition he has ever been In. Jack is a hard worker and is anxious to make a showing in the West ern League and his friends are of the opinion that when the final records are compiled next winter that Halla will stand near the top of the pitchers In games won. If Abbott keeps on growing at the same rate that he has during his three years in Topeka he will not be able to get into a box car in a short time. When he first came to Topeka in the spring of 1904 he was not a very large man but this season he is the biggest man on the team and weighs 198 stripped. How ever he does not seem to be a bit over weight and gets around as lively as ever. He is trying out for the position of utility man on the Topeka Western League team and from all prospects he will easily make good. Henry was never In better shape than he is at the present time. Last season he went into the game after a severe operation and was "out of condition nearly all the season. This winter how ever he has been keeping himself in good shape and he will rank among the stars of the Western League this sea son. Henry has had several good offers from the Omaha team and it is doubtful if he will be able to remain In the Western League another year. He will be among the players who are watched by the big league scouts. Jap Poor, a fulblood Indian, has sign ed up with the Leavenworth team and will report when the Moulders get back from their training in Indiana. Big Ed Pokorney, who played sec ond base with the Webb City team last season, has been purchased by the To ledo team in the American association. Pokorney was one of the best second Backers in the league last season and his only failing is a big bunch of avoir dupois. If he can ever get his weight reduced there will be a clear track waiting for him over which he can ride in an automobile In to the big leagues. Lou Armstrong and "Skinny" Hor ton .of the Joplin and Hutchinson Western association teams are warm ing up with Jimmy Burke and the Kansas City Blues at Association park in Kansas City. Fred McGuire. formerly with the National league, is said to be slated for the position of manager of the St. Joseph team of the Western league. Bed Davis at the present time is looking as well as any of the White Sox and Is playing the game In great shape. If there is any member on the team who has worked; hard during the winter vacation It is Davis. He has been working as night yardmaster for MOHDAT. County Attorney Schenck wants ?o know who let gamblers go. To Owners of Bad Breath Foul Odor of Indigestion, Smoking, Eating or Drinking Stopped at Once With Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges.

Jack Haskell, the veteran umpire, has been signed by Tip O'Neill as one of the indicators for the Western league during the coming season. If everything O'Neill does is as popular as hl3 selection of Haskell, he Is one of the best presidents of minor leagues in the country. It is not unlikely that the seats at tne local park will be equipped with backs this season. An eastern firm is making arrangements with the local management for the Installing of some portable backs on the seats of the grand stand. If these are adopted it will be a very popular move on the part of the management. Dueky Holmes' pitching staff cer- tainly looks good for this season. With "Pap" Eyler and McKay, two of the stars of the Western league of last year, he has two of the best pitchers in the league. But this is not all he has as he has purchased Clcotte, the big Frenchman, who worked for Des Moines last season, and was instru mental In winning the pennant for Joe Cantnion. There is a possibility that Topeka may get O'Neill, a outfielder of the York, Pa., team in the Trlstate league. There are also several other outfielders in the count-y for whom Cooley and Crow are getting their lines out. Jack Brennan will handle an indi cator for O'Neill in the Western league during the coming season. He worked in the Iowa league last year. Jake Bauer, who formerly played with Sedalia and who led the league In batting In 1904, is playing with Sioux City this season. Denver has signed a shortstop by the name of Toman. He only hit .200 last year and now all the Denver paper are roasting Tebeau. "Doc" Shively of the Western asso ciation is now on a trip over the south end of the Western association. He was at Wichita yesterday and will be in Oklahoma City today. At each town he is giving out extensive inter views of how Topeka is going to play in the Western association. At Wich ita, Shlvelv said that he thought To peka would again win the Western as sociation pennant. TTTESDAT. Adjutant General Hughes goes south to attend meeting of warriors. HIT STRAIGHT OUT Robert" Stone' Arraigns the Senate at HcPherson. Tells of Organization of the Kajlroad Lodge. ONLY ONE BATTLE. Antipass Fight Was Struggle. a JBeal Others Wer Decided hj the Senatorial Secret Societj. McPherson. Kan., March 23. An enthusiastic meeting, attended by a large crowd of voters of all parties, at which the speakers discussed freely the work of the last legislature, espe cially the fate of some of the Square Deal measures, and dwelt on the is sues of the next state campaign, was held here last night. Among the speakers were Robert Stone, repre sentative in the legislature from one of the Shawnee county districts; Joseph L. Bristow of Satrna and W. R. Stubbs of Lawrence. Other addresses were made by well known Republicans from this section of the state. After detailing the history of the antipass legislation, which was his as signed subject. Mr. Stone summarized the winter's work as follows: The anti-pass oontest was only one battle of the campaign. Other bat tles were just as fiercely fought. The same faction in the house that opposed me antipass law also fought, either openly or covertly, against the other railroad measures and against the pri mary election laws. In the senate the same secret 'lodge' or cabal was main tained to defeat the law requiring railroads to bulletin the arrival of trains, to maintain hog-tight fence where right of way is one side of a hog pasture, reducing Pullman rates,: anticigarette bill, anti-Sunday base ball, prohibition bills, and the bills to i protect the state treasury by a system of accounting. These are only a few of the good measures that were de feated by the senate 'lodge,' a secret cabal formed by Balie Waggener (a hired railroad attorney, acting pro tem as a Democratic senator) with one other Democratic senator and twenty one Republican senators who enter tained the same-views on all railroad legislation as did Senator Waggener. Senator Fitzpatrlck was put forward as the leader, and Senator Nof tzger. Senator Porter of Montgomery and Senator Waggener were the lieuten ants. This was the 'lodge' which re fused to consider any maximum freight rate law, and compelled the people to be satisfied for two years more with a flat reduction of 15 per cent only on grain and its products. This Is the 'lodge' which refused the people a two-cent fare and forced upon us an unconstitutional law for mileage books on such terms as the railroads would approve. This is the 'lodge' which refused to give us a thor oughbred antlpaes law, but left It so that the road can have attorneys, physicians and sbriffs ae -.their-, polit ical agents in every county. This is the 'lodge' which refused to give the people a primary; law without the con VUUllUIl. "In his recent speech at Sedan, Sena tor Fitzpatrlck confesses to the organi zation of this 'lodge' for the purpose of defeating the Square Deal measures, and states that he was opposed to any antipass or two-cent fare law. Sena tor Noftzger in his open letter says that he can not conceive how his Ford county constituents could favor a di rect primary for state officers. Senator Porter of Montgomery ridicules all these measures as 'Populistic,' said the people were 'crazy and did not know what they wanted, was opposed per sonally to any kind of a primary law, but favored enacting some sort of a pretense of a law In order to fool the people. "Waggener, the Democrat who stood in the unenviable position of a senator for the people and an attorney for the railroads, was a fitting complement to this trio, and on all occasions worked with them. They waged a campaign of abuse and personal Insult of their fellow-senators and representatives. The other 19 members of the 'lodge' follow ed them like trained animals and the roll calls showed that oratory or logic wan useless on either side. This 'lodge' took its orders from Dave Mulvane, Tom Kelly, Mort Albaugh, Jim Simp son and the lobby of railroad attorneys. "These lobbyists did not confine their talent to strictly railroad measures, but made their supreme effort on the pri mary law. When that bill was before the house they filled our lobby to ov erflowing, cheering the opposition. When the bill was reached in the sen ate, our lobbies were empty, but you could find all the railroad attorneys and professional politicians on the floor of the senate, aiding and abetting the enemies of a direct primary. When they had compelled the senate to refuse any further conference with the house and the struggle was again shifted to the house In an effort to force us to accept the mongrel compromise and be come a party to the deception, pre tending to restore to the people a free suffrage, but giving them to reality a ballot, emasculated by the state con vention, surrendering to the people the form, but retaining to the political fix ers the substance, the patronage and the graft, imposing upon the people the expense of a primary without removing the corruption of a convention. When Buffalo Jones: tells Topeka people; all about bison. this great struggle wag to occur in the house on that memorable Friday, our hall was again crowded by this same gang of hangers on and- whisperers and when the c.ll of the house was ordered .and. the doacs--were lockeoV they, were still there, buttonholing the members and trying to change their votes. It was their busy day but all their ef forts were useless and finally the call was raised. "But when, by chance. It became necessary to recall the members for the following Monday, the senate 'lodge'- and- the railroad attorneys and political fixers thought they saw another chance. By some sort of pressure, they enlisted the governor, as they had 'done on Kansas day and at the last state convention, to come to their rescue, and after all the rail road bills had been disposed of at a pre-appointed hour the speaker i sumed the chair and announced that the governor had a personal message to deliver. Every member in sym pathy with them had been summoned and urged to be present and at this critical moment all the personal pow er and eloquence, all the official force and energy of the chief executive was cast into the scale;, party fealty was appealed to,, and in this manner it was confidently expected that our forces would be stampeded and the Square Dealers and their movement on be half of .the people would be forever demolished. "The governor departed from the hall with vociferous applause from the railroad lobby and senators who had come In to witness the spectacle. One of our friends who had been won over. Immediately arose and presented a typewritten motion to reconsider the action of the previous jTiaay. The coup d'etat had been struck. But if it did not reach the fatal spot, It was not the first time that great and pa triotic statesman had planned and schemed and conspired in vain. "The roll was called, a few of our friends fell away, but the expected de fection did not take place. Again the doors were locked, with that ever-1 present and ever-growing lobby on the inside. The governor's private sec retary was there, many of the state of ficers came in, senators were sent for, and every possible friend of a recal citrant member was brought in to in fluence, If possible, some to change their votes. Those were hours of in tense interest. It was a testing of the fiber of men, and was of incalculable moment to the state at large. If the other side should win. it meant that the 'lodge and the railroads had won the last battle, and that the Mulvanes and the Kellys would continue to dom inate the affairs of the Republican party. If they lost, it meant that the cause of the people had gained a temporary victory, to be confirmed at the next election by a complete re buke to the senate 'lodge' and all Its masters, and that the people would be given by the next legislature, not a subterfuge, not a pretext of fulfillment of party pledges, but a real primary election law. "This is the issue for the coming campaign. On this line the battle will be fought and won within our party, for these measures must and will be worked out by the Republican party." MONEY ACCOUNTED FOR. Joint "Fines" in Pittsburg, Kan., Went Into City Treasury. Pittsburg, Kan., March 23. The hear ing which started Friday conducted by W. B. Trembly, of .Kansas. City as special commissioner from the supreme court of Kansas, to take evidence in- the ouster suits brought by the attorney general against Mayor Kirkwcod and tht city of Pittsburg for alleged main tenance of a license system, of licensing saloons, contrary to the law of the state, came to a close late this afternoon. Commissioner Trembly merely re ceived the evidence. The supreme court. will decide whether the charges are sub stantiated. The testimony showed that money which has been collected each month in the form of fines had gone into thj-.city treasury, and that as far as the city officials personally and individually are concerned they have been strictly hon est as public servants. City officials, members of the police department and members of the city council were examined on the witness stand today by Attorney General Jack son, in an endeavor to secure evidence to show that the city of Pittsburg had been licensing the saloons of the city, and to prove that the monthly fines re ceived from the saloon men for main-' taining nuisances were really a form of license for violation of the prohibitory law.

Re cently Peru took the two supply stores away from Sedan and now it is to: be come a refining point. A number of New Tork gentlemen came out to Kan sas City to build a refinery. There H. E.

Mr. West promises to see that the plant has enough crude to run It. At first only about forty barrels of oil a day will be used, as it is the Intention of the company to "show" the New Tork investors what can be done before starting out on a big scale.

LAND BRINGS BIG PRICES. One Farm In Bourbon County Brings Over $00,000. Fort Scott, March 23. The Tribune says: Two of the biggest farm sales ever made in the history of Bourbon county- were recorded in Register of Deeds Drum's office today, when deeds transferring the ownership of the ma jor portion of David Coon's big ranch near Devon, and the Pearce farm just southwest of Hiattville, were filed. Mr. Coon let go of 1,613 acres of his ranch to Mrs. Annie -T. Aiken, of St. Louis, for the sum of $68,085. George T. Pearce and wife con tracted for the sale of their 4 80 acres of land to R. A. Emery of Burlington, Iowa, for $24,000. The Coons still retain an equity In the big ranch, which is composed of almost 2,060 acres of land, and it is probable that Mr. and Mrs. Ed F. Coon, who have made that place their home for several years, will remain there. This is probably the biggest ranch in this corner of Kansas, and it Is generally admitted that more money has been spent in Improving this tract than on any other single piece of land In this county. Mr. Coon, who practi cally lives in St. Louis, his business keeping" Ills there all the time, nego tiated the sale from there." Reglstet Drum says this one deed involves the largest sum of money of any deed he ever recorded. Mrs. Aiken is a wealthy St. LouTp lady who has nu merous "holdings n the middle west.

The wheat is in fine shape all over the county, and much of the oats sown the first of the month is up nicely; and grass will be in condition for pasture in a couple of weeks. If the weather continues warm corn planting will commence the first of the week.: Mrs. James Fisk, living nine miles north of here, went to bed Thursday night feeling as well as usual, and died at 4 o'clock Friday morning.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL--SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH 23, 1907. ll RAILROAD Officials Will Jtttt Next Week to Arert Rail Strike. Conference of Managers Trainmen Tuesday. and 50,000 N AFFECTED. Farther Concessions Demanded bj Conductors and Trainmen. Other Items of Interest Railroad People. to J Chicago. March 23. Railroad man agers and representatives of the organizations of trainmen and conductors will meet in conference in this city next Tuesday in an effort to avert a threatened strike of 50,000 men on all the railroads throughout the west. The canvass of the vote taken by the men on all the roads involved in the controversy will have been completed by that time, and the proposition will be put up to the managers to make fur ther concessions or face the conse quences of a strike. Notwithstanding the fact that the sit uation is critical, the general impres sion in railroad circles yesterday was that the differences would be amicably adjusted. The general managers re fused to make any statements concern ing what their attitude shall be when they meet the representatives of the workmen. I. G. Rawn of the Illinois Central, who is chairman of the general managers' committee, said that any statements made at this time would be purely speculative, as no one could au thoritatively say what the outcome of the controversy may be. Vote StUl Is in Doubt. At the headquarters of the Brother hood of Railroad Trainmen in Cleveland yesterday Grand Master P. H. Morris Bey said that, while the vote taken by the men practicauy was result would not be known definitely for two or thre days. Mr. Morrissey and A. B. Garretson of the Order of Railway Conductors are expected to arrive in the city today to assist in the official canvass of the vote and make arrangements for the meeting with the general managers on luesaay. The wintrnversv with the trainmen and conductors is not the only labor Hirir-nitv rnnfrontlne the general man agers.

Tenn., and present demands for a wage increase. produce in a year and also to store all the goods for which consignees had failed to provide proper warehouse fa cilities, there has been a cry for de murrage and other punitive legislation which would render the railways Btill more incapable of meeting the unrea sonable demands made upon them. BRANCH AT CHICAGO. TO AVOID CAR SHORTAGE. Roads and Shippers Can Co-operate to Distribute Traffic More Evenly. Now is the time to make plans for preventing a repetition of a conges tion cf traffic next fall and winter, eays the Railway Age. Plans should be considered by both the railways and the shippers and consignees. The rail ways already are trying to increase the efficiency of their equipment by re ductions of the free storage time, by modifications of the reconsignment privilege, by the establishment of a car clearing house and by the adop tion of such other measures as are con sidered adapted to promote the desired end. But the railways can accomplish comparatively little without the active aid of shippers. The main cause of BO-called "car shortages" in the past has been that shippers have tried to eend the great bulk of all products to market within a few months. Unless, through the co-operation of railways and shippers, the movement of freight can be more evenly distributed throughout the year, complaints of shortages of cars" will be chronic every fall and winter as long as the rapid growth of traffic continues. The railways cannot provide sufficient fa cilities to move all products at once. Heretofore shippers have shown lit tle disposition to assist in relieving the situation. They have precipitated their business upon the carriers in an avalanche; and then, when the supply of cars has proved Inadequate to haul within a few months almost all the commodities which the country could I Mr. Took una Suggests Commerce Com mission Have Chicago Office. "Washington, March 23. As a result of a suggestion made by B. F. Yoakum, chairman of th board of directors of the Rock Island, to the president, the interstate commerce commission is considering a plan to establish a branch headquarters at Chicago, In charge of a spci;-! commissioner, to whom it is proposed to delegate practically all the powers of the commission except those Involving the rate raakir.fr pow.;r. The general idea of Mr. "Yoakum's aspiration is one of co-operation be tween the railroads and thi govern ment. In h past ;Ve agents employ ed by the government la :ho investiga tion of "omilints hiv-i ncted mure es prosecutors and conducted a system of espionage. It is proposed by Mr. Yoa kum that this policy be changed to on" or mutual assistance, with a vinw to eliminating much of the conflict be tween the carriers and the commission and also to do away with many of the formal hearings that are held at great expense to both sides. It is Mr. Toakum's Idea to have a deputy commissioner, with headquar ters at Chicago, to be in charge of an adequate force of assistants, whn Bhall handle all preliminary matters arising between the shippers and the railroads. It is proposed that his duty shall be to keep a general supervision of all rate matters and questions lnvolvitg railroad practices, to assure fair and adequate treatment of all parties con cerned. It will be his duty to system atize tarifT schedules, make prelimi nary Investigations of violations of the Interstate commerce law, present dis criminations, and take the first steps necessary to bring about a proper en forcement of the statutes and adjust ment of the differences between the shippers and the carriers. His wont, In a word, is to be one of meditation. In the event his preliminary investi gations should Justify further action, it will be his duty to refer the matters to the commission for final consideration. In all matters, however, an appeal wi'l lie to the commission if either party to the question in dispute is not satis fied with the ruling of the special com missioner at Chicago. For a long time the Interstate com mission has been considering: the ad visability of opening headquarters at j Chicago. As the great railroad center of the country, most of the important I matters before It involve the railroads j centering there. Most of the large 1 toads have their headquarters in Chi cago, or in cities which are located 1 conveniently to that center. The plan that is now being worked out by the commission is to pr-jvide for the opening of the western head- quarters under the pri-sent law. It is thought this can be done, and the only i legislation needed would be a law car- I rylng the necessary appropriation. It may, however, be decided that specific action authorizing the move may be needed, and if the general plan is thought to be satisfactory such action may be recommended by the president in his annual message.

Reports from Oregon state that ex tensive plans have been adopted by James J. Hill for the occupation of that state by the lines cf his system. In pursuance of these plans control of the Astoria and Columbus River road was lately acquired. Some were of the opinion that this acquisition meant the abandonment of Portland and car rying the terminals of the system to the mouth or the Columbia river, but this idea has been given up and it Is now believed Portland will retain its Importance. A line is to be built down the coast to Tillamook and beyond through the rich dairy section west of the coast mountains. This is in entire harmony with Mr. Hill's lifelong plan of de veloping agricultural lands. The coast region of Oregon, it is stated, has until now been wholly neg- pcIpH hv railrnnri hnllHpro VpI thra I Is no more fertile agricultural terri- J tory in the country. It is specially adapted for dairy farming. The lack of railroad facilities is the only thing that has stood in the way of its de velopment. Settlers have been crying for these for years, but their appeals nave gone unneeaea. At last relief seems to be at hand. Entry of the Hill interests into this section has caused a stir among the Harriman roads. Until now Southern Pacific interests dominated Oregon. Practically every line in the state was controlled by that system, and it act ed. the people declare, as if it owned the state. It is, therefore, with no feelings of satisfaction that It sees Its domain Invaded by an active and hated rival.

It has only been within the past two or three years that Topeka has attract ed attention as a wholesale and man ufacturing center though there are a number of wholesale institutions with in its limits which supply a large area of the western country with their pro ducts. Capital has been attracted to the city as a commercial center by the railroad facilities for reaching the var lous portions of the state as well as other inducements which have been made in the way of available capital. Within the last year natural gas has been piped, from the oil fields in the southern portion of the state which places a cheap fuel for the furnaces of the factories at their doors. The com mercial club has taken an active in terest in locating new factories and job bing institutions within the border of the city a.d to the enterprise of the club and its members is due the in crease along these lines. In the Wolff Packing company the city has one of the most modern pack ing institutions in the west and one which in the past five years has turned out products amounting to $10,129,800, the business transacted during the year being greater than during the corre sponding time at any time in its exist ence. The Continental Creamery, which is the largest Institution of its kind in the world, had its birth and has made its phenomenal growth in Topeka. The products from this concern alone during the past five years amounted to nearly $10,000,000. and have been shipped to all quarters of the United States, while the soldiers in the Philippine islands are fur nished with butter made by this con cern. Four of the largest flouring mills of the western half of the United States are located in Topeka, their combined product for the past five years bringing nearly $20,000,000 into the city of Tope ka. Two woolen mills are encompassed within, the boundaries of the city and their products which are wool and a yard wide have within the past five years added something over a million of dollars to the circulation medium of tho capital city of the state. The-pay. rolls of the Santa Fe shops and the general offices which were founded in the city amount to some thing over $2,000,000 annually which added to the hundred and one smaller Institutions which have not been enum erated and their incomes keep a steady stream of gold pouring Topekaward in exchange for her products and labor. The new group of buildings that con stitute the first installment of the Santa Fe shop extension plans are practically completed, and will be in operation within a month. These new shops will necessitate the employment of nearly 1,000 additional men in To peka, who with their families will make a considerable addition to the population, and whose salaries will make a handsome increase- in the money in circulation in the city.

For every mile of road that Hill may build, tho people there would not be sur prised to Bee Harriman build two. Keen competition between the two rival systems is what the people want, and present indications point to their having: It at a very early date. Hill interests say that the Astoria and Columbia River road for the pres ent will continue to be operated as an independent property, although a new board of directors will be elected and new general officers selected. The headquarters of the road will be in Portland, probably, instead of Astoria. Surveyors are in the field laying out routes for extensions of the system. In addition to the purely agricultural tonnage which the road will have there will be an lmense amount of timber to ship across the continent, so that the road is assured of all the traf fic It can handle. IMPORTIXG IMMIGRANTS. Rock Island Is Bringing Foreigners to Texas. J. A. Stewart, general agent of the passenger department of the Rock Is land system, has Just returned from t ten days' trip through Texas and the gulf coast. ie accompanied a commis sion appointed by the government of Italy to investigate various sections of the United States with a view or rec ommendaing to the emigration depart ment of that country such land as would appear desirable for the emigra tion of Italian farmers. The party was made up also of other officials of the Rock Island. Among those that took the trip were John Sebastian, passenger traffic manager; H. S. Ray, of St. Louis, assistant general passenger agent; C. B. Schmltt, commissioner of immigration, and W. J. Leahy, assist ant general passenger agent at Chicago. There were four members of the commission and all were men of high standing in governmental affairs in It aly. It seems that Italy is overcrowd ed with people and that the population is Increasing rapidly. That government has deemed it necessary to export a large number of the farming class to some desirable agricultural region. The worst conditions prevail in Tuscany and the greater number of the people will be sent from there. The party started from Chicago and traversed all of the Rock Island sys tem. Mr. Stewart said that all appear ed very much pleased with the golf coast country. They said that that sec tion of the country more nearly re sembled Italy than any other that they had visited. The richest soil in the United States Is along the gulf coast," said Mr. Stew art this morning. "It is unquestionably the most fertile In America. In ten years from now it will be a second Cal ifornia. The growth of the country has remained up to the last few years dor mant owing to the lack of railroad fa-1 cllitles. The Gulf Coast railroad, which is associated with the Rock Island sys tem, has recently been completed and from now on I predict a great boom in land along the railroad's route. The line runs from Houston, Tex., on the north of Brownsville, Tex., on the south. "The gulf coast will In time be the best agricultural section of the United States. Vegetables grow the year round in abundant quantities. The Kansas City market at the present time is being supplied with vegetables from the southern coast of Texas. The soil produces from five to six crops of alfalfa a year, and the land as yet has only been scratched by the farmer. No farmer that has ever settled in the country has failed. Up to the last few years the land has been divided up into extensive cattle ranges and this has hindered its settlement. The richest sugar cane in the world is raised at Brownsville. Land sells along the road all the way from $10 to $30 an acre. "The chance3 are that the Italian gov ernment will send a number of its farmers to this section of the country However, since the opening of the road, the best of American farmers are set tling there." DOES XOT BLAME ROOSEVELT. Stuwesant Fish Says President Dirt Xot Brtns About Conditions. Philadelphia, March 2 3. Stuyvesant Fish of New York, cf the executive board of the Missouri Pacific, delivered an ad-dress today before the students of the Wharton School of Finance of the University of Pennsylvania. He took for his subject: "Faith the Basis of Finance.'-' Mr. Fish aid in part: "The fact that the investigation of the railroad conditions of the country was ordered by President Roosevelt had no more to" do with the recent de cline in railroad stocks Th Wall street than you or I. It is quite true that the investigation did unearth some con ditions that could only be character ized by the use of extremely bad lan guage. That there have been rotten conditions In railroad circles is known Arrow cum itucm tin Collar. CCHTB BACH: PO" CBMW to all those who have' to deal with the management of vast railroad interests. The result of these conditions has Just been felt and will be felt to a greater or less extent until they are entirely corrected. "Our sy.tem of locking up public money in the national treasury, and so taking gold or its equivalent out of circulation is a relic of barbarism. "It has of late been very much the fashion to blame President Roosevelt for what happens on the stock ex change, but I can assure wou that it is not right. The legislation he has dic tated has boen largely beneficial. The so-called Hepburn bill, ir constitution al, is. in my opinion, economically un sound, and has affected and will affect adversely the general commercial in terests of the country more severely than it will tho railroad interests. "Stock robbery can not be stopped by legislation, and the only way it can be stopped is by getting rid of dishon est officials. Laws will never remedy the evil. What is needed is proper en forcement. "The legitimate rise and fall in rail road securities is a necessity. The rail roads need money for improvements, and they can only secure It by the legitimate sale of stocks and bonds. To have these sales restricted by law or controlled by government legisla tion would be rather hard on the cor porations, and would not be fair, to say the least. "I bellpve, and I think that you will agree with me, that there should be fair dealing for everybody. The regu lation of rates so that there can be no discrimination Is perfectly fair and proper, and I am satisfied that it should be done. "But. to get back to my subject. The finances of this country are in an ex cellent condition. The supply of gold In the national banks and the United States treasury is not lacking, and I am quite sure that old mother earth is furnishing enough to keep up the demand." At the conclusion of his address Mr. Fish answered such questions as the students put to him. Among other questions asked him was one as to whether or not the railroads can stand the 2-eent fare throughout the country. His reply was that the railroads need money, and that it must be provided through the collection of fares. He said that the demand of the public for fast train service, etc., made an expense upon the various companies that can not be met by the payment of the smaller fare. "Of course." he said, "some of the roads can stand It while others can not." .A Sure Sign.

Former Chicago Banker Wants Mil lion and Half for Libel. QUADRUPLE ALLIANCE. Russia and France to Unite With Japan and England. Chicago, March 23. A dispatch to the Tribune from Washington says: Official and diplomatic Washington is deeply interested In a report emanat ing from official sources that Japan and Russia are paving tne way to an offensive and defensive alliance, in which Great Britain and France will participate. If It be true It will be the biggest diplomatic coup which has oc curred since the alliance between Eng land and Japan, which made the Russo Japanese war possible. For the recent enemies It will mean that the armed truce which now exists will give way to a permanent peace In connection with the f.vr east. The irritating attitude of the Ameri can Pacific slope towards the Japanese hzs caused statesmen of the mikado's empire to reckon with the possibility of the United States as an enemy and to deal firmly with this country It Is nec essary that Russia should be converted Into a friend. This Is an additional argument used In support of the report that Russia and Japan are about to become allies. ANOTHER THAW CASE. Sirs. Snnderson Tells Why Her Hus band Killed Meredith. Carthaga, Mo., March 23. In the trial now proceeding here of Arthur Sander son for the killing of Dr. Solomon D. Meredith, the Sanderson family physi cial on January 2, last, Mrs. Sanderson testifying for the defense said: "Dr. Meredith began his advances toward me by putting his hand upon my shoulder one day when he was called to the house to attend one of the children. "Later he stroked my head and one day at his office he took hold of my hand. I pulled away from him, then he grasped me with both hands. "I was standing by a chair In his office and he took her around the waist and pressed me and said, 'I love you. I protested and asked him to think of his wife and my husband and said it would be something awful if anybody found out what he had done. "I was helpless to resist him." Chicago, March 23. John R.

Attorneys Ritscher,- Montgomery, Hart Abbott, acting as counsOl for Mr. Walsh, filed the suits.

SHOWS A BIG INCREASE Value, of Santa Fe Property Indicates Prosperity. r According -to- the annual report of the Santa-Fe railway on the amount of its property, in Kansas," returned today to the state board of railroad commission ers, the value of the Kansas property of the road has increased materially over 1906: The" Santa Fe shows In its report that the value of its rolling stock ia $2,726.34 this year. Last year It claimed fi vKluas tion of ony about $2,000,000, and the rail road board of assessors raised this to about $3,000,000. The number of Its loco motives has. Increased from 325 to 3S8. It sti)l estimates that its locomotives on the main line are worth $3,000 each, the rail road assessors last year decided that $3, 500 would not be too high. Of course the real value of a locomotive is much more than this. The -basis 'of valuation of box cars, passenger-cars and other cars is the same as last year. The value of railroad buildings on the right of way Is fixed by the Santa Fe officials "at $747,000 this year. Last year they estimated .the buildings worth $676, S30. Under the head of "actual value of stock" the railroad officias have written "unkri'own,"The market value of common is given-at 1014 and preferred 9S. San ta Fe has slumped a number of pointy however, in the recent flurry. Last year the value of common was quoted at 90 and preferred 102. The main line mileage this year Is given as 2,59$, and branch line mileage as 664. Last year the main line mileage was given as 2,603. and branch line as 639. The Santa Fe report is one of the last to be received at the office of the state auditor. The meeting of the state board of railroad assessors will be held soon after 'the first of the coming month.

Clay Center is evidently fixing to have two Independent candidates for the office cf mayor in the election to be held next month. The two candidates are George W. Hanna. the present in dependent mayor, and F. L- Williams, former secr?tary of Governor Hoch. Hanna is running on a munidfpal ownership platform, while Williams is the principal attorney for the Clay Cen ter Electric Light Power company, which the city is trying to put out of business with a municipal lighting plant. Hanna's ticket is composed cf Re publicans, with the exception cf Hanna himself, who is a Populist, and W. D. Vincent, the candidate for councilman in the Second ward. Williams" ticket is a bob-tail." as Williams himself is the only man on it. The registration is the largest in the history of Clay Cen ter, and judging from former elections in which the issue was city ownership and nnticity ownership, Hanna will beat Williams without much difficulty. The Republican city committee is controlled by Williams, but the Republicans have r.nde no nomination. The fieht will be a clean cut issue be tween Williams and Hanna. each rep resenting without any mistake a dis tinct issue. Under Mayor Hanna's ad ministration. Clay Center has voted bonds for a city lighting plant, and has beaten the efforts cf C. C. Coleman and F. L. Williams to defeat that will cf th; people for city ownership. Cole man and Williams net only fought the city ownership proposition In the elec tion, but fought the bond Issue on tech nical grounds in the courts. They have recently appealed to the supreme court where the case is still pending. The Clay Center Dispatch says of the candidacy of Williams in its Friday issue: Fred Parrott. Wesley Erickson and Ernest Plnkerton were out today with a petition asking that F. L. Williams, principal attorney for F. L. Williamson ft Co. and the Clay Center Electric Light Power company, he placed upon the official ballot as an independ ent candidate for mayor.

Both had little daughters taking part in the programme, and there was no hint of trouble until Nicholson's lit tle girl started to say her piece. Kurd made a remark on her nervousness which Nicholson resented, and in a mo ment both men were quarreling. Their anger startled the little au dience of parents and children in the school house and efforts were made to get the children away before blows were struck. Before this could be done Nicholson drew a revolver, and pressing it against Kurd's side fired. Kurd died instantly. Women and children clustered around the two men either fainted or became hysterical. When Nicholson saw what he had done he dropped on his knees and wept. The children and the wives of the two men in their holiday clothes stood moaning and weeping nearby. Nicholson was placed under arrest. TS.

During the three weeks which have elapsed since the organijtation of the Salvation Army anti-suicide bureau in Chicago it has proved Its usefulness. According to the reports and belief of Mrs. Com missioner Killbey and Brigadier A. McMillan, who have charge of this branch of the work, nearly thirty peo ple have been dissuaded from suicidal purposes and have been placed in po sitions, when necessary, which yield a livelihood and give opportunities for further usefulness. The bureau was organized three weeks ago last Thursday, and in that time twenty men and seven women ho contemplated self destruction have visited the officers, have been dis suaded from the extreme course, and persuaded to continue In their work or enabled to obtain employment.

SISTER3 OF THE GOO D SHEPHEWD. MONTREAL, HOSPITALS ALL OYER THE CONTINENT FIND PE-RU-NA VALUABLE IN TREATING ALL CATARRHAL DISEASES. Catarrh of the respiratory organs is common ailment in Canada for at least two-thirds of the year. This condition is no doubt caused by the long, severe winters experi enced in this part of the continent. Therefore, when Feruna was dis covered by Canadian people to be a reliable remedy for these catarrhal dis eases, it at once became a popular medicine, not only among individuals and in families, but in the great hos pitals, -where it was used as a pre ventative and relief in hundreds or cases. These institutions do not hesitate to give their endorsement of the remedy which has been so helpful in the treat ment of their poor and sick. Among these Institutions is that of the Sisters of Good Shepherd, who gave the following endorsement: The Perona Company, Columbus, Ohio, Having used Pcruna for the past few months, for our sick and poor, we are happy to say that it lias given us great satisfaction. The -Sisters of the Good Shepherd. August 20. 1903. Montreal. After a continued use of the remedy, this institution has found no reason to change its good opinion of the remedy and expresses its satisfaction in the following terms: i Montreal, Nov. 7. 1903. We found Peruna a relief In several cases. W e can say it is a good tonic and we are very thankful. Sisters of the Good Shepherd. When catarrh once fastens itself upon the system it becomes an obsti nate disease to eradicate. A systemic remedy one that reach es every internal organ of the body is an absolute necessity. Peruna is just such a remedy. It searches out the cause of the disease, healing and strengthening the mucous membranes, and thus giving Nature an opportunity to perform her part of the restorative process. One of the many hospitals which have found Peruna of value in treat ing old and obstinate cases of catarrh is the Hospital St. John, who write, as follows: "We are happy to tell you that your Peruna has given us satisfaction. Three patients have tried it, one 68 years old, Renoui Dupuis, afflicted with catarrh. Is much relieved, more than he has been for a number of years. A young girl, 15 years old, had an obstinate cough, which half a bottle of Peruna caused to disappear. "As to myself, two bottles have con vinced me that Peruna is magnificent as a tonic. "Before the treatment I could 'not walk for a quarter of an hour without experiencing much fatigue. Now C can walk a mile easily. "Through these three casea we de sire to make known to the public tna efficiency of your remedy." Hospital St. John, of St. John,' Province of Quebee. A later letter received from th same Institution reads as follows: "Three weeks ago I wrote to tell you how eatlsf actory rre found Peruna. We recommend it highly for colds, coughs, cntarrh and neuralgia. "I have used it myself as a tonie with the best results, taken as direct ed, half a teaspoonsful every half hour." Mrs. Etta Booker, Dundurn, Sask., N. W. T., Canada, writes: "I suffered with pelvic catarrh until I wrote to Dr. Hartman. and after tak ing treatment as he advised, I can say I am now cured of this most trying affliction, for which I am truly thank ful. I think Peruna the best medicine for catarrh. I never felt better in my life' than I do at present." Feruna not only promptly relieves coughs and colds in their first stages, but is equally prompt and efficient for catarrhal diseases in the chronic stage. Of course. It is only reasonable to suppose that a great deal less medicine will be necessary to cure a slight at tack of cattarh than would be required to relieve the ailment after it had been allowed to become chronic. '"71"' Humphreys' Seyenty Seren Cures Colds and A writer on Pneumonia, says: "A main difficulty is that no one can tell whether or not a given 'cold will ulti mately travel to the deeper parts of the lungs.. Thus it happens that no cough, soreness of chest, chilliness or other evidence of even slight catarrhal troubles can be trusted these times.

Chauncey Brown, who recently moved from Tooeka to Garden City, has been nominated for justice of the peace by the Democrats and according to the treatment given W. H.

At a special meeting of the board of education held Friday afternoon It was decided to at once readmit all pupils to the high school whether they have been vaccinated or not. When a case ot smallpox was discovered in the hlga school last week the members of the board as w-ell as the members of the board of health grew greatly excited and an order was at once promulgated preventing students from attending the school until they were provided with physicians' certificates or scars of past There was a slump In the attendance for the first day or so while the pu pils skirmished for old scars or visited physicians and made arrangements for new ones. All of the 1.030 pupils have fulfilled the requirements made by the ruling of the board with the exception of 75 and their names will be furnished to the board of health and they may make such rulings as they see fit but as far as the school board Is concerned they will be admitted to school. The following resolution was adopted by the bojrd at their meeting Friday: "In view of the fact that the best medical authorities of the country be lieve that by vaccination the effects of smallpox is lessened and Its spread checked, the city board of health con curring in the above view, that we. as a board, recommend that all pupils of the city schools who have not been vac cinated effectively be vaccinated. "That we admit all of the pupils now out of school by the vaccination order heretofore issued by the superintendent and that the names of those who have net been vccclnated be furnished to the board of health for such action as It may wish to take with reference to such persons."

14 URGENTDEMANDS Retailers Underestimate Their Needs for Spring Trade. Jtow They Are Having Trouble la Securing Stocks. LOSS OF THREE DAYS On Account of IMttsburg Flood Felt in Iron Market. Spring Trade Bids Fair to Ex ceed Last Year's. New Tork. March 23. R. O. Dun Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: Business nas responded to tne lnnu ence of settled spring' weather at most points and the proximity of Easter has increased retail sales of dry goods, mn liner and footwear. Many dealers had underestimated requirements and urgent demands are made upon jod bing houses. Transportation is mere satisfactory, but at many cities there are many complaints that seasonable goods do not come forward as sped tied. In addition to current trade there is a volume of preparation for later seasons that maintains activity at man ufacturiny plants, the high prices read ily paid on most of this followed busi ness testifying to the fact that confl dence remains unshaken. One of the best features is the steady improve ment in mercantile payments. Congestion in the Iron and steel in dustry and tardiness of deliveries were accentuated by the flood which stopped production at many plants in the Pitts burg district for three days or more. A very heavy tonnage of southern Iron has been taken In the Birming ham market, all at firm quotations, and the Inquiry for material indicates the situation at steel mills. A lull in the volume of new business Is welcomed by the cotton mills, as pressure for delivery had advanced prices to the limit of safety in the opinion of many manufacturers. Large contracts were placed at most profit able prices during the period of activ ity, and the approach of Easter has checked the efforts of Jobbers to accu mulate stocks, because the rush of store trade will be over by the end or this month. As to woolens, the advancing season brings out more business In men's wear, but few lines are fully taken. Dress goods are in a satisfactory condition. Footwear factories in New England receive supplementary orders for sea sonable goods, chiefly from eastern wholesalers for shipment in May or June, but this class of business comes forward somewhat slowly. Some of the leading tanners have remained out of the hide market so long that most varieties have begun to accumulate. Holdings of native hides are notably large and prices are correspondingly weak.

A special to the Post Intelligencer from Valdez, Alaska, says: The steamer Portland arrived here at midnight with the passengers and mail from the steamer Northwestern which was wrecked Tuesday morning on a rock near Beatson's wharf, La Touche island. The vessel was leaving the bay en route to Valdez when a flurry of wind caught her and threw her over on the rocks. She went on easily and Captain Truebridge thought no damage was done, but he could not pull her off. As the tide lowered the steamship settled on the rocks, punching holes in the forward compartments. The for ward bulkhead and the engine room and the forward compartments are still dry though there is 17 feet of wat er in the forward hold. Officers of the steamship North western state that it will cost $50,000 to float the vessel from the rock where she is imperiled. ASSAILS ROOSEVELT. Ex-Senator Burton Calls President Master Hypocrite. Ex-Senator J. R. Burton gave out a second statement when he reached St. Louis which was much more vicious with reference to President Roosevelt. It was as follows: President Roosevelt is always a can didate and has been since he was old enough to vote. A master hypocrite. he can successfully mislead the public into the Idea that he Is for someone else for the nomination, but when the time comes he will be the candidate. He has already succeeded In making the party leaders declare that the Roosevelt policy must be pursued. The next thing we will hear is that If the Roosevelt policy is to continue Roose velt is the proper man for the nom ination. This is precisely what Roosevelt is hoping to see happen, and from the outlook it does not appear that he will be disappointed. He killed off LaFol- ette by being friendlv to Snooner. Shaw was sidetracked when Roosevelt took up the cause of Cummines. Shaw saw the handwriting on the wall and ler: the cabinet, to accept a position In New York. Foraker has been at- ended to by the president's armarent friendliness to Taft. Who is left in the race? No one except Roosevelt. He is using Taft like a fiirtinir wife would impose on a foolish husband to cover up her unfaithfulness. When the time comes he will cast noor old Taft aside and accept the nomination tor a third term, which he hopes will ue mrusi upon mm. Taft isa't big enough for the presi dency. He is simply the tool of Roose velt, who may almost any time throw Root into the race to make the waters muddy. Cortelyou may also be shifted intc the race, but rone of them can be taktn seriously pave Roosevelt, who. although not openly a candidate, is playing his cards to bring about his nomination for a third term, and he will get It. Roosevelt is too shrewd to declare himself a candidate. If he did he would be out of the race the moment he announced his candidacy. He wants the nomination to be "forced" upon him, as it were, and he will accept with open arms. We read In Scripture about the Savior healing the leper, curing the sick, mak ing the blind to see and the lame to walk, but nowhere In Biblical history do we hear of Christ forgiving or cur ing the hypocrite. The disease is one which grows on a person as the years roll by and Is Incurable. There are two kinds of hypocrisy one is the smooth, oily, scheming, hum ble individual, of which Dickens' char acter. Uriah Heep, is the immortal ex ample. The other is the brusque, bull dozing, bold type, of which no better example can be found than Theodore Roosevelt. I shall devote my time publishing my magazine and speaking and will do what I can to blot out hypocrisy wher ever it may exist. I shall advocate the election of the federal Judges. They should be brought closer to the people. The Idea of plac ing so much power in a man for his natural life is wrong. I71RS. JETT FELL DEAD. Babe Rolled From Her Lap Into Tub of Hot Water.

Members of the San Francisco Labor Council lij a Vote of 65 to 7 Condemn Citj Government. TRUST IS BHTHAYED. Tliey Call for Vigorous Prose cution of tbe tiuiltj. The Council Also Repudiates the Union Party. San Francisco, March 23. By a vote of 65 to 7 resolutions were adopted by the San Francisco labor council last night condemning the municipal gov ernment and those officials who have betrayed their trust and calling for the vigorous prosecution of every cor- ruptionist, the bribe giver as wen as the bribed officials. The council repudiated the Union party which elected these officers, re iterating its position that ihe labor council is a body in no way affiliated with politics, but is organized and con ducted purely for economic purposes. It was stated today at the prosecut ing attorney's office that Patrick Cal houn, president of the United Rail ways company, would upon his arrival here from New York be given an op portunity to appear before the grand jury in connection with that body's investigation of the alleged bribery of the board of supervisors in the mat ter of an overhead trolley franchise granted the United Railroads last May. From the same source it was also learned that a number of secret indict ments, which have not even been trust ed to the secret file for fear that their contents might leak out, are not all against one person, but are said to contain the names of several. To the Associated Press Abraham Ruef said today that he is considering the preparation of a statement to the public, and he declared that when he tells his story it will contain sensa tions equal tc the disclosures made by the alleged confessions of the supervis ors. He expressed the opinion that the investigation now going on was in fur therance of an organized attempt to seize the municipal government and as serted that it wss "government by In dictment," instead of "government by Injunction." Scluiiitz's Home May Be Prison. The 65 charges of bribery against Ruef were today assigned by Presiding Judge Coffey to Judge Dunne's depart ment of the superior court. They will be placed on the calendar and arraign ment set for some day early next week. To avoid possible conflict between the chief of police or sheriff and Elisor Biggy, no bench warrants will be is sued on these indictments. The true reason for the determination of the prosecution to take no immedi ate steps toward removing from office the supervisors is disclosed. District Attorney Langdon stated that In order to remove then it would be necessary to prove the charges made against them. This would compel the prosecution to bring forward all its evidence and there by disclose its entire hand before the HEALING HIS HANDS The Boy Phenomenon CHAS. A. DW.NELL Stands Peerless and Alone the Greatest Magnetic Healer of the Century. In this twentieth century science has made rapid progress in treating dis ease In every form. Research and study have brought to light many rem edies that are invaluable to suffering humanity, but without doubt, the greatest and grandest discovery known in the annals of healing science for the amelioration of chronic diseases, centers upon human magnetism as the one great healing power whose po tency Is unquestioned and unrivaled. People who for years have suffered the torments of bodily pain, who have been denied by disease the use of their limbs, passed sleepless nights, been visited by tortures that have left their undeniable tracings on face and body, the deaf, palsied, blind, lame, paraly tic, rheumatic, dyspepslc and nervous, all these sufferers have been made to feel relief, have been virtually born anew by what in the early days of his tory was called "the laying on of hands" by one who is naturally gifted with a larger amount of that vital element than Is usually given man kind.

Assistant District Attorney Heney de clared that the mavor. having the ap pointive power, could fill the vacancies created by the removal or tne super visors with men on whom the investi gators had no hold. To overcome this obstacle it would be necessary first to remove the mayor, and this Heney ad mitted, the prosecution was in no posi' tion as yet to do. The same care and watchfulness that has marked the custody of Ruef will be exercised in guarding the Jury against any possible outside influences when his trial begin. Instead of a bailiff or tne sheriff having charge of the Jury. Dls triet Attorney Langdon stated today that the Jury will be placed in charge of Elisor W. J. Biggy. This is said to be the first time in the legal history of the United States that an elisor has been appointed by a court to apprehend a defendant and given such power to keen him in custody dur ing trial. Up to the present time the ordinary functions of an elisor have been perfunctory, and his appointment was usually for the purpose of dTawlng, returning and taking charge of juries when the sheriff or other proper officers were disqualified. IS AFTER HARRIMAN. The President Is Stirred Up by Evi dence on. Alton Deal. Washington, March 23. By special di rection of the president the question of prosecuting the Harriman group of railroads either under the Sherman antitrust law or under the interstate commerce act is being considered at the department of justice. A decision has not yet been reached by Mr. Bona parte, Mr. Purdy and others of the gov ernment corps of trust breaking ex perts. The president was so much stirred up by the facts developed by the inter state commerce commission's investiga tion of the Harriman methods and es pecially by the disclosures as to the Alton deal that he called in his law advisers to find what could be done. He found the general opinion to be that if any prosecution will He against Harriman on the score of the Alton transactions it must be under the state laws of Illinois. Accordingly he made the question one of the principal mat-: ters considered at his conference with Governor Deneen and the Illinois attor nev general, Mr. Stead. Information from Illinois sources is that there is no state law which will fit the situation. This Is Senator Cul lom's opinion and tbe senator has con sulted with Governor Deneen and hence reflects the latter's conclusion. The facts as gathered by the inter state commerce commission to date have not been compiled into a final re port and hence cannot be made th basis of any action by the department of justice. When the Harriman hear ings were adjourned in New York it was with the understanding that the commission might put additional testi mony into the record and that, when the commission's case should be closed, the Harriman side could bring forward witnesses on its behalf. The commis sion has decided that further testimony will not be necessary. The Harriman attorneys have not Informed the com mission whether they will put on new witnesses. The case will be taken VP and, it is expected, concluded at hear ings to begin here April 4. Arguments both by the commission's attorneys and the lHarriman lawyers will go into the record. When the in quiry is thus disposed of the commis sion will prepare a report. It will in clude a recommendation to the depart ment of Justice if th commissioners ber lieve that the facts in hand will sus tain prosecutions. l t The probability lsltmt any action ta ken by the government will assume the form of a suit .under the Sherman antitrust law and seek the dissolutior of the merger undes which the Harri man Interests operate the Southern Pa cific, Union Pacific and Oregon Shorl Line. FOR CHURCH MERGER. North and South Branches of Metho dism Will Try Once More. Oklahoma City. Okla., March 23. Two hundred and sixty delegates rep resenting the Methodist church both north and south, and from the central southwestern states met at the Threadgill hotel last night and formed a "federation" which will work for the unification of the north and south Methodist churches throughout the country. Addresses were delivered by Chancellor Bradford of Epworth uni versity of Oklahoma City, established and maintained Jointly by the north and south Methodist churches of Okla homa and Indian Territories; Frank P. Hays of St. Louis; James A. Free man of St. Louis: Dr. Bullock of St. Joseph, Mo.; Judge C. B. Ames of Ok lahoma City and Rev. Dr. Sharp of St. Louis, all of whom dwelt upon the great benefits to be derived from the unification of the two churches. A committee composed of A. H. Classen. Oklahoma City, chairman; Dr. Bullock, St. Joseph, secretary; Judge C. B. Ames, Oklahoma City; James A. Freeman. St. Louis and Judge Dickerson, Chickasha, I. T., was appointed to look after the interests of the organization and call other meetings when deemed for the best Interests of the churches. The establishment of Epworth uni versity by the two churches is consid ered the nucleus about which work to ward completing merging of the great divisions of the Methodist church must center. JOHNSTON TRIAL IS ENDED. Pratt, Kan., March 23.

The killing occurred while Thomas was on Johnston's land. The speeches were heard yesterday and the case went to the Jury in the afternoon.

Persons Benefited by the fflc Cuniber Pension Law To tbe Number of 280,000 Hare Been Heard From. ONLY 5,000 NEW ONES. Remaining 275,000 Applied for an Increase. Deaths of Pensioners Numbered 2,351 In February. Washington. March 23. "The un known army has been the subject of much controversy in discussing the forces engaged in the civil war said Commissioner of Pensions Warner to day in speaking of the pension roll, "but never until the MnCiimher nen- sion bill became a law was there a means for determining anything about its extent. The unknown army has come to be so called largely because Its members did not apply for pen sions. This thev did not do on account of the various reasons of delicacv. pride or indifference; but most of these causes have been removed bv the nass- age of the service law, and most of the unknowns those who have never heretofore asked for pensions are coming to the front. I think everybody will be surprised at the limited number there are of them- So far there have been about 280,000 applications under tha new law,, but of these only a little over 1 per cent are In the shane of the orig inal applications: or. in other words. applications of the hitherto unknown possible pension claimants. Certainly the entire number will not exceed 5,000. The other 275.000 applications are all for increase, and were made by men whose names have been on the rolls in the past." Mr. Warner is of the opinion that the great bulk of applications on ac count of the McCumber law have been received. When the law first went into effect the applications were re ceived in enormous Quantities, as manv as 20.000 coming In one day. The number has now fallen to about 4.000 a day. and is ranidlv diminishing. The receipt of so many applications has occasioned a corresponding In crease of labor in' the office, but by shifting the clerical force to meet the especial demands it has not been found necessarv to augment the list of em ployes. The records of the pension of fice show that 2.351 of the civil war pensioners died in February, but there are still 652,488 of them left on the pension rolls. CHANGES HIS MIND. Secretary Taft Reverses Himself on Eight Hour Law. Washington, March 23. Secretary Taft has reconsidered his original opin ion of March 7 relative to the eight hour law in its application to employes on rivers and harbors works. Then he held that the law applied to evey person connected with the work on dredges and steamers of various kinds while now he Is of the opinion that it affects only mechanics and laborers and does not change the present hours of work of captains, cooks, deck hands, pilots and the like. Therefore he has directed the following memorandum to the chief of engineers. "I have received a call from the com missioner of labor and the heads of certain bridge workers' unions in ref erence to the application of the eight hour law to the dredging done directly by the government and under the con trol and supervision of the engineering bureau of this department. I am also Informed that the attorney general has In effect taken the position, and that the attitude of the government In court is that the men engaged in dredging on the stream dredges are within the op eration of the law and should not work for more than one shift of eight hours a day. I am also advised that this ques tion is pending in the supreme court on appeal from the decision of a Massa chusetts federal court- Commissioner Neill thinks that it is an Inconsistent position for the government to have men working under a theory of the law at variance with that which it has ta ken before the courts and which has been sustained by certain of the lower courts already. In this view I concur, and you are therefore directed to order all your subordinate officers having in charge men working upon dredges to work all employes whose duties are in effect those of mechanics and labor ers but eight hours a day until the su preme court shall otherwise decide. If It does so decide, with such exceptions as you may establish to my satisfaction are absolutely necessary to preserve the government property as It is." TO BE NO CONFERENCE. Governor Johnson's Suggestion to Roosevelt Is Not Acted Upon. St. Paul. March 23. Governor Johnson has received a letter from President Roosevelt in reply to the governor's proposition for a conference of governors and the various state railroad commissions to consider rail road questions. The governor said the letter was purely personal and added: "I have nothing to say concerning It except, that President Roosevelt says there will be no conference of the governors of the states."

Everybody reads Topeka State Journal The board of directors of the Young Women's Chrlf-tian association have Just recently held their monthly busi ness meeting. For a year or more they have been confronted by the necessity for a building to accommodate all the yourg women who come to the associa tion rooms, and while many friends of the organization have urged some ac tion, feeling that the time is ripe for Btartlng a fund for such a building, the board has refrained from any active steps because of the movement on foot for raising $75,000 for Washburn col lege, and because of the interests of various other organizations In the city. However at the last meeting of the board the president was able to an nounce three recent gifts of $500 each, one from Mr. P. I. Ponebrake. as a me morial to his wife, who was for a num ber of years a member of the board, and greatly Interested in the work of the association, the second fiom Mrs. Annie B. Sweet, and the third from Mrs. Mary A. Mulvane, both ladies be ing at present members of the board. It is also rather generally known that a year ago Judge J. T. Clarke deeded to the association, property at the cor ner of Topeka avenue and Ninth street, valued at $5,000, the same to be used as the final payment on a permanent building. The announcement of these last gifts was enthusiastically recorded, because the association has so outgrown its present quarters that future work will i be stunted without better accommoda-; tions. j Not long ago Mr. TF. J. Brigham, of this city, was in Lincoln, Neb., at the, time the Young Women's Christian as sociation was raising money for a building, and sent us articles from the Nebraska State Journal giving reports of the speech of Wm. J. Bryan at that meeting, a fact significant of the gen eral interest in this work for young women. Kansas City, Kan., last year bought its building on an excellent site very centrally located, where it comfortably houses its thousand members. Building sites in Topeka are rapidly disappearing, and suitable locations are few. Any who wish to follow in the footsteps of these pioneers will receive as grateful appreciation as they. PANIC ON THE IEHA. Workmen on tlie Disabled Ship Frightened by Explosion. Toulon. March 23. Another panic has occurred on board the hulk of the battleship Iena, on which more than one hundred men lost their live through an explosion recently. A large number of workmen were engaged in removing the boilers of the ship when an electric light wire became short circuited and there was a violent shock and flash of flame. The men wildly scrambled for refuge from what they regarded as the repetition of the catastrophe. Many Jumped into the water and ethers scaled the mast. When order was finally restored it was found that several men had been Injured in the panic, but that none was seriously hurt. It took some time to Induce the men to return to work.

Cut Flowers, Palms and Ferns and Funeral Designs Out of Town Orders Promptly Filled. The subscription dance at Steinberg's last night was arranged by Mr. Tink ham Veale and Mr. Irwin Snattinger. That's fair enough, because they don't pretend to be anything but benighted heathens, never thought of observing Lent and don't know a holy day of obli gation from April Fool's. But what can be said for the pious church girls who attend Lenten services daily, looking so Innocent and saintly that one thinks t"-ay must have aureoles hidden under their hats, but who were at the dance and "hopped 'em right up" all evening. Can it be possible that some of this spectacular piety is mostly four flush ing? Among those who attended the dance were Miss Clara Fleishman, Miss Fran ces Connell, Miss Tide Robenson, Miss Ethel Davis, Miss Ella Davis, Miss Fay Q 'Inton, Miss Helen McClintock, Miss Sue Rodgers, Miss Ra Hotchkiss.

The other day when Mr. Paul Gilmore was here in At Yale he bor rowed for use In one of his scenes an Owl sorority pennant and an Owl sofa pillow. The pillow was the grandest one in town and was the property not ef an Owl but of one of the Washburn men to whom an Owl had given it. The Owl girls had a theater party that night and like all the other girls and women in the house they fell In love with handsome young Paul Gilmore. They visited him In his dressing room behind the scenes after the play and, following a whispered consultation, de cided to present him with the pillow The Washburn Man's pillow, mind you!!! They said they would make the Washburn man another pillow Just as good as the one they had so generously given Paul Gilmore, but unless he is a worm he will refuse it. Judge and Mrs. J. L. Eldrldge cele brated the fiftieth anniversary of their mairiage at the home of .their son, Chas. E. Eldridge, 1105 Harrison street, last evening.

Also five of the Judges of our state su preme court were present. Judge Eld ridge having acted as bailiff of that body for the last 12 years. The occa sion was quite informal, and an im promptu programme included the read ing by Mr. Eldridge, Jr., of regrets from friends both east and west, fol lowed by a neat epeech by Chief Jus tice Johnston in behalf of our state supreme court, who presented him with a fine engraved gold headed cane. Then followed the presentation of the class cane by Rev. Mr. Whitehead, who fittingly referred to the church associ ations. This was followed by remarks by an old time friend, Mr. H. Clark son, presenting a clock, as an heir loom to the happy couple. Judge West then offered best wishes In behalf of the Sabbath school, followed by Bro. Jesse Shaw in behalf of the .friends of the First Baptist church, presenting the couple with a neat Jewel box within which were five ten-dollar gold pieces, also presenting a handsome umbrella to the bride. This was followed by Pas tor Thomas S. Young, closing with a word of prayer, following which an or iginal poem by the groom was sung by the company to the tune of "Auld Lang Syne." The color scheme of dec oration was entirely of yellow, the pre vailing flowers being Jonquils, and with ferns and palms, the house pre sented a pleasing affect.

(From the Overland Monthly Magazine.) Is this the enlightened 20th century or Is it A. D. 1700? We have been watching a contest that is suggestive of the Middle AAetelegram to the San Francisco "Bulle tin" from the "Kansas City Journal" says that prominent people in that city are re covering from Brlght's Disease and Dia betes under a specific discovered in this city, and asks if the same thing is oc curring here and if the results are per manent. The "Bulletin's" reply was "Yes to both questions. Consider what this means'. Nothing less than that Brlght's Disease and Diabetes, two of the greatest scourges known, ore curable. This is of profound moment to the whole world. And yet, because the formula belongs to individuals, it has been considered nonethical ?.nd but little no ticed by the medical profession, and this notwithstanding the fact that prominent peope in this city, including professional and business men, have been cured to so great a number as to exclude doubt. The editor of the "Overland Monthly" personally knows a number who have re covered. Among them is an editor. He was very low and his death was looked upon as certain. Another is an old school fhyslcian. The latter was rejected for nsurance. He would not permit his ethics to stand between him and his. own recov ery. He can now pass. One would have thought that this case would have at tracted attention. But the only comment he reported was an arraignment by a brother physician for using a nonethical preparation. We recall that Paracelsus' discovery of the use of mercury was decried for forty years, and vaccination was fought nea.rly as long. And yet, what physician does not now use both? And history seems to be repeating Itself, for it has for several years been known to some hundreds, probably thousands, in this city that Brlght's Disease and Dia betes are no longer in the list of lncura ble diseases. And yet the world does not know it. Editors, lawyers, manufacturers and business men have discussed it open ly, but phvsieians have breathed but Boft Iv of it. although scores have seen pa tients that demanded the new specific re cover. And what Is it that is holding all this back? Ethics! At the rate the deaths from Brlght's Disease are Increasing under the most skillful orthodox treatment, according to government and municipal reports, If Paracelsus' forty years experience is to be repeated, somebody is shouldering an awful responsigility, for what is happen ing to the patients in these long interims while the antagonisms of the medical schools are adjusting themselves to new conditions? Multiplying monuments "will mutely an ser. It may be that In this age of books and newspapers the people will willingly con tinue to die of Brlght's Disease and Dia betes becf-use It Is orthodox rather thn recover and face the chargre that they are not ethcal. But we doubt It. We can as easilv believe in the sanity of the pros pector dying of thirst In Ahe desert rather than accept water from a newly discov ered sprlnq: because not on -his chart. Future history will record this decade as marking- the first definite control of cbronio Brlght's Disease and Diabetes, and the name of the obscure and lamented Fulton wll be as indissolubly connected with It as is Harvey's with the circula tion of tie blood. That ts clear enough, but how many tens of thousands will be sacrificed to an antiquated orthodoxy be fore the mountains of opposition and pre judice have been melted by the march of progress, the sun of tolerance and. he needs of humanity? Overland Monthly. The above articles refers to the astound ing recoveries now being made by the Fulton Compounds. We sent for the treat ment for urgent casea here. We will see that peonle with Brlght's Disease. Dia betes or serious kidney disease are sent literature on this Important discovery. Sim Drug Co., 732 Kansas ave., Topeka, Kan.

HE FINDSA GRAFT City Attorney Drennlng Is After the Contractors. Says That Many Hart Orerpaid. Been DIDN'T DO THE WORK But They Got the Money for It Nevertheless. 31 ay Sue liondsinen to Becorer the Money. The whip lash is going to be played about the heads or contractors, past and present, who have been overpaid on city contracts. Such is at least the statement of F. O. Drenning. city attorney, who return ed this afternoon from Troy, Kansas. The city attorney states that a large number of suits of a civil nature will be filed right after the first of April in the district court to recover moneys paid in excess of contracts. "I am going to get busy pretty soon Tiow," said Drenning. "We will file fuits against a great many of the con tractors who have been overpaid for work done on city contracts. I don't care to say what those contracts are or to specify the contractors. We have been getting testimony in a number of the contracts and have been quietly In vestigating certain things. We are not through yet with our investigations. "We can sue on the bonds furnished by the contractors. The bonds are good for five years." One of the claims that has been made all along Is in connection with paving contracts. It is claimed that the grad ing contracts especially are flagrant ex amples of work which has been paid for way in excess of the value received. It is stated that overhauls have been paid for where no overhauls should have been allowed, that the cubic yardage al lowed was in excess of the amount of the actual earth excavation. Though rand Is cheap and there is plenty of it the story goes that contractors have been shy on sand and only put in two or three inchesof cushion where the speci fications called for at least four inches of sand. These are only a few of the instances enumerated. The stories have been brought out in connection with the charges of misconstruction of the Fifth ward sewer. When that trouble blossomed out ev ery contract and every contractor came under espionage and suspicion and as a result it is claimed facts sufficient to commence civil action in the courts have been unearthed. The city attorney does not speak with any degree of certainty on the action at law which the city will commence in the district court with reference to the Fifth ward sewer charges but he states positively that the civil suits with refer ence to these other charges that there is a strong probability that the city will be able to recover several thousands of dollars. The stories circulated so far regard ing the paving do not involve defective brick but seem to confine themselves to the shortage of sand and excessive charges for excavating and the over-, hauls for dirt which has been excavated.

There promises to be a. big fight for the job of department commander of the Kansas Grand Army of the Repub lic when the state encampment meets in Topeka on the 7th day of next May. The fight, according to present indica tions, will be between Capt. Patrick H. Coney, the present department com mander, who wants a third term, and Col. R. A. Campbell of Hutchinson, the present senior vice commander of the Kansas department, G. A. R. Capt. Coney doesn't come right out and say he is a candidate for the of fice, but nearly everybody else says so for him. Coney wants the place a third time as a stepping stone to the office of national commander, which he will make another effort to capture at the coming national encampment. It is an unheard of thing in th Kansas de partment to give a man three terms as department commander, but that very fact would make it an especially valu able feather in Coney's cap when he marches out to effect the capture of the national commandership. Capt. Coney would make his fight for a third teim on his record while in office. He claims that he has run the office of the department with especial vigor, and lhat he has accomplished an exceptional amount of good things for the old soldiers of Kansas. He says that through his personal efforts, the last legislature enacted seven bills of great benefit to the veterans of the civil war. Nine bills, according to Capt. Coney, were personally prepared by him, and only two of these failed of en actment. The two which were killed related to the erection of a J200 000 soldiers' monument in the state house grounds, and the other was ihe amend ment to the taxation bill exempting from taxation the homesteads of" sol diers and soldiers' widows up to the amount of $1,000. The bills which Department Com mander Coney says he personally pre pared and conducted through the mazes of legislative procedure are as follows: 1. Appropriation for Grand Army museum. 2. Old soldier preference law. 3. Authorizing use of city funds for observance of Memorial day.- 4. Requiring display of United States flag en school houses. 5.' Making Lincoln's birthday a legal, holiday. 6. Preventing the- desecration of Memorial day. 7.- Burial of soldiers, their wives and widows. Captain Coney also claims personal credit for having the antipass law so amended that members of the Grand Army may get half rates, and for the passage of a bill authorizing the ad jutant general to have the muster rolls of the- civil war soldiers copied. Colonel CampbeU WIU Fight. Against all. this array of legislative triumphs, the friends of Campbell will advance the argument that three times is too much for any one man to hold the office of department commander, no matter bow effective a commander he may be. It has. as a matter of fact, been the custom of late to give only one term to each commander, for the reason that the old soldiers felt that their time is short, and that the honor should be passed around as much as possible. Moreover Col. Campbell claims that Capt. Coney is acting in bad faith. He says that Capt. Coney promised him at the last election, of department com mander that he would not again be a candidate. He says now that Coney has broken faith, and is making medi cine for a third term. Coney replies with a general denial. He says that he nas not broken faith; that-he is not now a candidate. But he adds that he is in the hands of his friends. He isn't any more a candidate now than he was two years ago, or one year ago. He doesn't seek the Job, but would not struggle too hard if it should be forced i-.-upon him. Co!. Campbell thinks that this means that Coney is an active seeker for the place, and he is circulating the bad faith story among his G. A. R. friends. Col. Campbell, it is said, is a very good man for the position of depart-! ment commander, v He is in touch with military affairs, being the present lieutenant-colonel of the Second rgiment of the Kansas National guard. He will come to the state encampment with a strong backing. Many of the peo ple who backed Capt. Coney for a sec ond term, it Is said, are now backing Campbell. On the other hand there is a very friendly disposition toward Capt. Coney in his ambition to be national com mander; and if the encampment is per suaded that it would materially assist him in the realization of his ambi tions it might decide to give him t third term as department commander. HITS UPON A PLAN. Commerce Commission Has a Solution of the Railroad Question. Chicago. March 23. A dispatch to the Record-Herald from Washington says: It is understood that the Interstate Commerce commission has finally hit upon a plan for a solution of the per plexing problem of relieving the pres ent crisis in the railroad situation by bringing about a practical co-operation between the railroads and the federal government. The plan, which is now being con sidered and has practically gained the approval of the commission and the president, is the appointment of a western interstate traffic commissioner to represent the commission, with headquarters in Chicago and St. Louis. This man is to co-operate with the public and the railroad officers in ob taining reasonable rate adjustments, and to adjudicate all matters now in dt.spute. The railroad representatives and the commissioner would virtually assemble about a round table to dis cuss freight rates, stop violations of the law and prevent rate discrimina tions and preferences. It is believed that this plan will put a stop to the flood of hostile legisla tion against railroads in tne west, and establish more friendly relations with the railroads on the part of the gov ernment. This is said! to be the result of a re cent conference on the part of Benja min F. Yoakum, head of the Rock Is land board, with the president and members of the Interstate Commerce commission. r Whether the government will pro ceed against Mr. Harriman and his as sociates under the Sherman anti-trust law, or under the interstate commerce laws, or at all, will be decided after the Interstate Commerce commission completes its report next month. (Items for this eolunm may be left at Heaston'a barber shop.) Mr. Charles Petit of Holton visited with his brother,- J. E. Petit, this week. Mrs. J. G.

The man in Oakland who circulates petitions for sidewalks on streets where he owns no property is surely shortsighted and careless. The little real estate advertising leaflet published down on Oakland avenue seems to be perfectly silent on things that would be beneficial to oak- land at large, and the editor being a nonresident of this place is to some degree an explanation of this fact. The concert given at the Presby terian church was a decided success both financially and as an entertain ment. The receipts were $12. The following was the programme: Invo cation, Rev.

The agitation comes up each year late in the season just as the fire works ordinance agitation used to come up. The season suggests the need. C. C. Nicholson, who at present has the contract for sprinkling some of the streets of the city said: "I haven't got' anything to say against the scheme of paying for sprinkling by taxing the property. Its late in the year though to make a change. The council could better take up the subject in the win ter time. It's .not quite the fair thing to take it up at this time.. Here I am with an investment of about $5,000 on my hands. Usually I go right out and make the contracts without any trouble but now everybody is hanging back to see what the council is going to do.. The new system of taxing it up against the property owner rather than the merchant who rents the building may be better. I don't be lieve however, that the city could do the work as a private individual could. .We work. at. all hours right through the dinner period, but if the city handled it the men would go on at 8 o'clock, off at 12 o'clock, on again at 1 o'clock and sprinkling would stop at 5 o'clock. j "The council should make thei PURITY OP PRODUCT Commands the Consumer's Confidence When Cascarets Candy Cathartic were invented in 1896, and the formula was perfected after much experi mental labor by highly scien tific chemists, it was our aim not only to produce a perfect -combination of EFFECTIVE CONSTITUENTS, but to have every ingredient the very best in point of PURITY and QUALITY that could be obtained. We established a standard of PURITY and QUALITY and MEDICINAL STRENGTH, that has been maintained for all these years, and every Cascaret tablet has been as harmless, pure, gentle and effective as every other one. The substances that enter into a medicinal formula, to pro duce the desired effect, to be SAFE and ever TRUST WORTHY, MUST be cleanfresh, carefully selected and compounded with painstaking supervision. The eternal vigilance necessary to secure the ingredients of Cascarets in the most PERFECT CONDITION, so as to get the best effect without any danger from intruding substances, has never been relaxed. What is the result? There has never been a disappointment, never a complaint. The people of America are today buying over ONE MILLION BOXES a month of Cas carets Candy Cathartic, a recognition of their dependable qualities to do what is claimed for them, as the best medicine FOR THE BOWELS as yet discovered. Our patrons are all our friends, loyal and more than satisfied of the stead fast, honest, reliable MERIT of our preparation. It is today the greatest FAMILY MEDICINE in the world. We attribute Cascarets great success to PURITY, QUALITY and MEDICINAL EFFICIENCY, backed by Truth ana Honesty in our dealings. The Congress of the United States, on June 30, 1906, passed a PURS FOOD AND DRUGS ACT to protect the Health of the People against adulter ation, misstatement and careless processes. This law went into effect Januar 1, 1907, and will help to banish all questionable practices and preparations. We endorse the law. The essence of this law was anticipated by the makers of Cascarets when the first box was made ten years ago, and every precaution was taken to estab lish Cascarets as the standard, reliable and responsible Bowel medicine for tha American People.
