The only Daily and Weeklv Negro paper in this section of Country GET OUT AND REGISTER IN TIME HELP THE WHITE REPUBLICS TO GIVE SQUARE LEE AN ENORMOUS MAJORITY THE VOL 13, NO.2 DISPUTES QUAY'S TITLE. Debae on R-solution Providing for Seating Penosyvavian Taken Up. W shingon, D C., Feb. 26.—Formal discussion of the right of former Senator Quay to a seat in the senate as a member from Pennsylvania, was beguined to day by Mr. Turley, of Tennessee. He presented a constitutional argument against the seating of Quay which was given close attention by his colleagues. He will conclude his speech to morrow. Consideration of the Hawaiian government bill brought out a lively discussion between Mr. Tillman, of South Carolina, and Mr. Spooner, of Wisconsin, in which the former admitted that ballot boxes had been stuffed and negroes had been shot down in the south to maintain white domination. An amendment was made to the bill striking out the property qualification of voters for members of the legislature, but little other progress was made. When the senate had concluded its routine business, Mr. Turley, of Tennessee, called up the resolution report from the committee on privileges and elections to the effect that the Hon. M. Quay was not entitled to a seat in the senate as a senator from Pennsylvania. Mr. Turley prepared the majority report of the committee on the resolution and spoke therefore in opposition to the seating of Mr. Quay. In opening his argument he said no case exactly similar to the present one was ever before the senate. He recited the well known and admitted state of facts regarding the Quay case. Then he said. "If there ever was a case in which the governor of a state was, under the constitution, without power to fill the vacancy, it is this one. The action of the governor was in the test of every provision of the constitution bearing upon the subject." He pointed out that the vacancy had occurred during a session of the legislature. The legislature remained in session some time after the vacancy existed, yet it had failed to fill the vacancy, and immediately upon the adjournment of the legislature the governor had appalled Mr. Quay. At 2 o'clock, by unanimous consent, the Quay case was postponed and the Hawaiian bill takeup up. Mr. Cullom off several minor amendments and one striking out the property qualifications clause of those who desired to vote for representatives and senators in the Hawaiian legislature. Mr. Tillman argued that his amendment substituting the suffrage provisions of the constitution of South Carolina, was in all senses a better provision than that offered by the committee reporting the bill. Mr. Tillman said: "The people of South Carolina, in their constitution, have done their level best to prevent the 'niggers' from voting. What I now ask you to do is to give Kanakas and Português so of the Hawaiian islands the same power of suffrage as we in South Carolina have given the 'niggers.'" FOR BENEFIT OF NEGROES. In reply to a question of Mr. Spooner, Mr. Tillman said that the $200 properly qualification had been put into the South Carolina constitution for the benefit of the negro. "No provision was needed for the whites," said Mr. Tillman, "because the whites would get through anyhow. We have some conscience in the south as to treatment of the 'ligger'." In a brief temperate speech, Mr. Spooner depreciated a discussion at this time of the racial question which had been precipitated by Mr. Tillman. "If he senator from South Carolina," said Mr. Spooner, "wants a debate upon this question, he can have it. I have respect for the senator and regard for his ability, but this is not a proper time for a discussion of the question. The senator has said that the people of South Carolina have sediously excluded the negro vote. They are now accomplishing their purpose through the state constitutional amendment." Advertising to the pending amendment of Mr. Cullane, Mr. Spooner said: "I don't like a property qualification for voters. There is something of reason in an educational qualification, but manhood suffrage is one thing and dollar suffrage is quite another. I do not know what may be done by congress with the islands acquired, but as to the islands of Hawaii there are men there who can read and write and I will not vote for a pro- position to exclude the vote of any man because he has not a property qualification.' He then appealed to Mr. Tillman to lay aside the bloody shirt. Mr. Tillman replied that his only reason for rehabilitating the bloody shirt before it was finally and irrevocably laid to rest, was that he wanted the position of the southern people to be understood. He was tired of the taunts and sneers at the southern people. After declaring that in every southern state except South Caro ins, the 'niggers' held the balance of power, he added. As such they stand there as a menace to a pure suffrage and to good government, because they are a purchasable quantity, educated or uneducated. "We are charged with fraud and corruption and ballot box stuffing. Finally, after the bayoneta had come to us again in 1876, we rose in righteousness and might. We took the government, we stuffed ballot boxes, we bulldozed the niggers and we shot them. And we are not ashamed of it. Leaning over toward Mr. Spooner and shaking his finger at him, Mr. Tollman said: "What would you have done? You would have done the same thing—I see it in your eye. (Laughter.) The amendment offered by Mr. Culium was finally adopted. So, too, was the ameddment to Mr. Platt, of Connecticut, which had been pending several days, relating to the appointment and tenure of the offices of the judges of the Hawaiian courts. After the bill had been further amended Mr. Butler, of North Carolina, off-red an amendment restoring o'lawalia the postal savings bank system. The amendment was supported by Mr. Butler and Mr. M son, of Illinois, the latter declaring this was the only civilized country in the world which did not receive loans from the poor people of the country—the only government which was absolutely dominated by the banks. Mr. Allison submitted that it would be impossible to extend the postal savings bank system over a part of the United States without making it general in application and even if it were possible, it would not be equitable to pay 41 per cent interest in Hawaii, as the proposed amendment provided, when a bill was about to be passed by congress refunding the interest bearing debt of the United States at 2 per cent. Without concluding the discussion of the amendment, the senate, at 5.12 p.m., wens into executive session, and at 5.15 asjourned. At a meeting held in Chicago, Monday, February 12th, 1920, the Twentieth Century Authors Association of North America was organized and the following officers were elected, John G.

WHY NOT PERPETUATE THE MEM There seems to be an awful lack of interest among the r turned members of the 23rd Kansas volunteer infantry, notwithstanding there were two hundred and fifty young men that enlisted from this city. Today there is not a single organization of any kind to perpetuate in memory the actions, if nothing else of these gallant young men, who offered their lives, in trying times, in defense of their country. They fought not, it true—but had the opportunity presented itself—we would today be reading not alone of the "Fighting Twentieth Kansas" but the Twenty third, as well. Many who left us returned not, but have long since an swered at roll call in another world History can beast of no heroes of the 23rd—their record will not be the theme for poets, nor can bards weave the same into music. In a few years—they will live only in the memory of those surviving participants. Why not gather those who fell in camp, those who fell since, in the real battle of life and those who fall in the future, in one suitable resting place, where we can honor them by seeing that their graves are kept green. Why not have toe, an organization? Let future generations know that in the defense of our country, the Negro in Kansas was just as loyal and ready as the white man. As it is now—you seldom hear anything about the boys of the 23rd,—except when one gets in jail or some other lowering misfortune happens him—then it is heralded far and near. "He was a member of the 23rd." It is about time we as a loyal race of people were showing to the world that the 23rd Kansas Regiment, that spent eight long months at the front, contained something else besides loafers jail birds and cutthroa s. PITCHFORK TILLMAN: Every negro ought to read the utterances of Pitchfork Tillman—the real rebel senator from South Carolina, in the senate this week. Tillman but voices the real existing sentiment of the southern dyed-in-the-wool rebel. He stands at the head of the nation and says that which was really done in the south—when men have the audacity to stand up before the world and give utterances to such remarks—the lowest regions in his Satanic Majesty is too good for the same. In a glorious country, the home of the brave and the land of the freed—what and whither are we drifting? Will the Almighty allow such to long exist. We believe not—a reckoning day is surely coming. Speaking of the Negro among other things said about their presence in the South were. As such they stand there as a menace to a pure suffrage and to good government, because they are a purchasable quantity educated or uneducated. We are charged with fraud and corruption and ballot box stuffing. Finally, after the bayonets had come to us again in 1876, we rose in righteousness and might. We took the government, we stuffed the ballot boxes, we bulldozed the niggers and we shot em. And we are not as bam- ed of it. It is natural for man to get all he can. It is also a little natural for him to get that all honestly if he can if not—well, he gets it. After all, perhaps it is better to be born justy than rich, but just now, if we had a few more pennies, we would at least be happier. That would help some. HE'S ALRIGHT New York.

"The white man's failure in Government" is the title of a neat little pamphlet of 50 pages issued from the press of the Afro American Co. Langston City, Oklahoma, wants a Negro druggist. Here is an opportunity for the race, and some regularly graduated Negro pharmacist should take advantage of it. The town of Brooklyn, Ill., opposite North St. Louis, has a population of over 1,000 and all the officers of the burg are colored. The town has most of the modern improvements—three good churches a splendid two-story brick school house, a city hall and electric lights. Probly the richest Negro in Georgia is Harry Todd, of Daries, whose wealth is valued at $500,000. When a youth his master died giving him his liberty. He was kept by the family on a small salary as overseer. He invested a part of his money in lands. He raised cotton and prospered. A dispatch dated Kansas City, Feb. 14, says: Mon Fung Young, a Chinese doctor, was awarded $3,937 by a jury in the circuit court to-day in a verdict against the Kansas City, St. Joseph and Council Bluffs railroad, because a Negro porter of the railroad company would not permit him to ride in the parlor car of the train. Young sued for $20,000 damages. It is said that the Coattanooga Plow Company employes 700 or 800 hands, and that a large per capita of these are colored men and boys. Eighty men are employed in the foundry and in this case they are all Negroes. This fact goes to show that there are openings in the South for colored men equipped with an industrial education. Washington city is known as a "city of churches." There are said to be more than eighty colored churches in the District of Columbia, and of that number more than forty are Baptists. Among those that stand high is the Metropolitan Baptist church located on B. street between 12 h. and 13 h. sts. northwest. The church is one of the landmarks of Washington. Peter Felix, the colored prognist, who recently won the heavy wint championship of Australia from Bill Dougherty, is expected to arrive in this country in a month or so. His manager, Billy McLain, of McAdoo's Georgia Minstrels, has already sent on a challenge to J-ferries and all the other heavy weights, but it is probable that he will begin with some lighter game on his arrival here. Felix is claimed to be a second Peter Jackson, but he will have to prove this before he will be believed here. He is a tall, heavy-shouldered colored man and very lanky. His legs are light. Like Peter Jackson, he was born in the West Indies, Santa Cruz being his birthplace. He is represented as being but 28 years old and weighs 190 pounds in condition. ANSWERED AT ROLL CALL Mr. Alex. Marr, one of our faithful colored Patrolmen of long standing, died yesterday afternoon at his home. No. 741 S. 8th. street, of pneumonia. He has been a patrolman for years and made an exceptional good officer. Besides he has been a life long friend of this paper, always ready and willing to do his part towards helping it along. We extend to his bereaved family our deepest sympathy in their hours of sadness. Funeral will doubtless be to-morrow or Sunday. TWO FIRE The Cozad Printing Co., of 547 Minnesota avenue, was damaged by fire last night to the extent of $1,400. Two cottages at 10.h. and Oakland ave. were also burned, loss $1,500, fully insured. NEWSPAPER GUIDEPOSTS Wendell Phillips struck the keynote in modern influences when he said: No one man in ten, reads books; the newspaper is parent, school, college, pulp t, then, example, counselor, all in one: every drop of our blood is colored by it. Let me make the newspapers and I care not when makes the religion or the laws. UNION SOLDIERS I will purchase additional rights of all who homesteaded less than 160 acres prior to June 22nd 1874, even if they are bandoned their claims. Will buy fractionals if ever so small, also Government Land Warrants. Agents Wanted. R. K. Kelley, 444 Sheidley Building. gansas City Mo. CITIZEN NEGROES TAKE TO COCAINE FROM THE NEW YORK SUN. New Orleans.—The troubles which the steamboat men have been having with their roustaboubs have been increased by the spread of the cocain habit among the negroes. When the cocain habit found its way among the negroes it is impossible to say but it is now the favorite mode by which they seek forgetfulness. It is as yet confined to the city negroes but some of the planters have expressed the hope that the use of the drug be broken up in New Orleans before it reaches the cotton plantations. Whiskey is bad enough, they say, but traffic in it can be controlled far more easily than the purchase and sale of cocaine tablets. The tablets are composed of cocain and phenacetine in about equal proportions. Some chemical genius discovered that phenacetine prolongs the effects of cocaine and as it is a much cheaper drug, it is used as an adulterant for the cocaine. When a negro roustaboub has swallowed one of these tablets, he seeks the most secluded part of the boat upon which he has shipped, and, hiding himself among the cargo, lies down and enjoys the visions of rest that the drugs cause. The effect is very like that of opium only far less violent more restful sleepy feeling. For a little while the cocaine fiend is as happy as a mortal can be, and he will probably keep on swallowing tablets until the mate comes around and finds him shirking duty and dreaming among cotton bales and administers a strong and effective antidote with the hickory stick which is his badge of authority. This continues throughout the roustaboub's voyage as long the box of cocaine tablets holds out. When the box has run out, he will play crap with other 'rousters' and buy more cocaine if he wins. The evil has grown steadily or late for a number of drug stores in the district do an immense business. So large is the business average negro walks into a drug store and puts down a quater or a half dollar without a word, and receive a box of cocaine tablets in return, the drug clerk knowing by intuition what he wants, or if the negro says anything it is likely to be only "Tabs." The cocain habit is most common among the river negroes nearly all of whom are addicted to it. They take their cocain in tablets. These are dissolved in a glass of whiskey, if whiskey is handy, but if not the tablets is swallowed. The city negroes, who use the drug less generally, take it in the form of crystals or powder, which is snuffed up the nose. The cocaine habit is fast driving out the morphine habit, which, however, never had much hold among negroes, the cocaine can be taken so much more easily and when mixed with phenacetine is cheaper. OUR FIRE LADDIES We regret very seriously the seeming inability of the boys at No.5 Fire Station, to dwell together in peace and harmony. There is enough prejudice existing in this city at best against a negro Fire Company and negroes in anything. And the tendency to fight among themselves makes that prejudice stronger. We are at a loss to know why Hoseman W. S. Harris and Driver Ben Robinson seem always at dagger points with each other. A burnt child always dreads fire—these two men were discharged once for fighting. After kissing and making up they were re-installed. Now it seems, for the sake of their friends and the reputation of the race, they ought to act the part of men and quit making fools of themselves and their friends as well. They are both good firemen and have hitherto borne good reputations but since being associated together as firemen it seems impossible for them to get along without fighting. Since this be true-seperation seems the best and only thing to do. A WARM TIME The Famous Sextette have secured the services of the well known and celebrated Riley's Orchestra for their first Grand Ball at the Armory Hall on March 12th. The affair promises to be a swell one and will doubtless be well attended. The boys are sparing no pains to make it a success in every particular. PR JE TWO CENT AN APPEAL. Mr. Squire Lee, the Repubican nominee for Constable of the Northside City Court, should not be forgotten, for he is a man in whom the most implicit coexistence can be placed, in a fitting gentleman to elect to an office of this kind. He is eminently qualified and stands exceedingly well with all masses of humanity. In giving him a vote you will but be doing that which is right and proper. He is the regular Republican nominee and won the nomination fair and square. It is his desire, his determination and the aim of his friends to conduc a clean and honest canvass it is hoped that those citizens in the northside district will be men of principle and backbone—whether colored or white, and stand up for the right thing. Give Squire Lee, an honest man, an intelligent man, a representative man, a square deal. There is much at stake this year for the Republicans of Wyandotte county, the state and the country—charity begins a home. Let us rally around the flag boys, one and all, and let the news be heralded broadcast to the world—that old Wyandotte county is still in the ranks of the grand old party and in its onward march, the question of color has no consideration. But whither the rank and file of the party—every man is a man endowed with all the rights and privileges alike. It has been said that the Republican party would let a negro win at the Primaries, but get even with him on election day. That in the management of affairs touching their interests as well as others he should have no right. We believe there is enough honest, straightforward Republicans in this city to give the lie to this statement or assertion. We will believe it any how until the close of the polls in April. PLAI NAND VERY SENSIBLE Gen. Greenwood, who has discovered of late what a nice thing it would be to colonize the negroes of this country in the Philippine Islands says, "I don't mean the old before the war manies 1 nocles, though they are fast, doing few that are left, must remain until they die." This is indeed the cause of all the trouble. The sooner the white folks, of before the war, learn that, the negro of after the war, has not been taught to bow and keerchy to any one, as he sees fit to do so, and that many of them have broken through the cordon of prejudice and made themselves men and women in the true sense of those words, and must be so respected the sooner the amity of feelings will be adjusted and the vexed race business lost sight off. No intelligent negro will deny the fact that there are a multitude of our people who are not only disgusting in many ways to the white, but even to the better thinking class of our people, and the white people must learn to sift the grain from the craft among us, as well as they do among the myself We understand that the most of the white people admire the negro, who is ever ready to toady, who will bellittle race to gain the plaudits of the opposite race; who will cringe and bow on every occasion to make the white man feel that he knows he is the inferior of man and is willing to let the world see he knows it. But if the Unit d States government will make the opening, as suggested by General Greenwood, this country will not long be afflicted by the men and women of negro blood, who love their manhood righs and insist upon having them at any cost.—The Daily Recorder. THIRTEEN INCHES OF SNOW The heaviest deepest and most severe snow fell in this city Monday that has fallen since in 1894. All outdoor business was suspended, electric cars were stopped, streets blockaded and all Railway trains more or less delayed. As we go to press the rays of the sun are having its effects on the great drifts. POLITIC3 IN THE SNOW Notwithstanding the blinding snow storm the past week and the intense cold politics have been at fever heat in the twin cities. In Kansas City Mo, P. Sherry Brown Jr., won over C. E. Burnham, police judge the Republican mayoralty nomination of "Greater Kansas City," with a majority of near 800. In Kansas City, Kansas the democrats held their City Primaries and the Republican County Central Committee has been called to meet on March 10th, at Armory Hall. The county primaries it is believed will be held on March 20th.

Quinn, Marseilles, Ill., Aug. 25, 1899. Makes Hair Grow One thing is certain.—Ayer's Hair Vigor makes the hair grow. This is because it is a hair food. If it were a hair stimulant simply, it could not do this. You must have food to live; stimulants cannot take its place. Ayer's Hair Vigor feeds the hair and it grows. It could not do differently, for it's Nature's plan. It stops falling of the hair, too, takes out all dandruff, and always restores color to gray hair. $1.00 a bottle. All druggists. Write the Doctor If you do not obtain all the benefits you desire from the use of the Vigor, write the Doctor about it.

THREE WOMEN ARE KILLEQ IN A WRECK. Missouri Pacific Trains Come Together Near Independence—One of the Women Unknown—Mrs. J. G. Schmidlapp of Cincinnati Identified—Six Injured. In the blinding snow storm of Tuesday afternoon train No. 5 of the Missouri Pacific road crashed into train No. 1 of the same road about a mile south of Independence, Mo. Two persons were killed and six were injured. Some of the injured may die, as their injuries are serious and complicated. The dead are: Mrs. J. G. Schmidlapp, Cincinnati, Ohio. An unknown woman, cremated. The injured are: Miss Emma Schmidlapp, Cincinnati, both arms broken, inhaled steam, internal injuries of such a nature that she will probably die. Miss Emma Schmidlapp died of her injuries at University hospital, Kansas City, Wednesday morning. W. R. Vaughn, Washington correspondent Scripps-McRae league, right arm mashed to pulp below shoulder, will have to be amputated at shoulder; head cut. Mrs. J. Valke, mother of Mrs. Schmidlapp, Cincinnati, both arms broken, badly burned about face; will probably lose her sight. Frank McAfee, St. Louis, brakeman No. 1 train, right leg broken and crushed, hand cut by glass and badly bruised about body. J. G. Schmidlapp, Cincinnati, arm broken and head bruised. L. F. Sheldon, Sedalia, superintendent telegraph Missouri Pacific, bruiser and cuts about body. The wreck caught fire from the engine on the second train, which was totally wrecked, and added horror to the scene. Some of the passengers were scalded by escaping steam from the engine and some were burned when the wreck took fire. Mrs. Schmidlapp's husband, J. G. Schmidlapp, is a millionaire living in Cincinnati. He and his wife and daughter, Emma Schmidlapp, and his wife's mother, Mrs. J. Valke, had boarded the train at St. Louis, bound for Kansas City. FLOUR TRUST COLLAPSES. United States Milling Company Forced to the Wall. Milwaukee, Wis.—The United States Milling company, generally known as the Flour trust, collapsed Saturday afternoon, when Judge Jenkins, in proceedings ancillary to the United States court of New Jersey, appointed three receivers for the company, two of whom are now in charge of the property. The capital stock of the company was $25,000,000. Plans for reorganization have already begun. Otls Asks for 1,000 Handenfäss. Washington.—A request recently received at the war department from General Otis at Manila for 1,000 pairs of handcuffs and 200 pairs of leg shackles, to be sent at the earliest possible moment, has puzzled the officials. The handcuffs and shackles are for use on our own soldiers, especially for the large number whose reason has given away under the heat and stress of war. An employee of the surgeon general's office, who has just returned from Manila, says that the percentage of insanity among the troops serving in the Philippines is alarming and that those who reach this country are only the most aggravated cases. Cronje Planned a Dash. Kimberley.— Deserters report that General Cronje intended to cut his way out through Lord Roberts' forces last Sunday night, but the failure of the scouting Boers outside the British lines to seize a kopje frustrated the project. So he surrendered. The tremendous British shell fire seems to have produced scarcely an appreciable effect. The list of the Boers wounded during the week the laager was held was only about eight. The number of dead is unknown. Shot at President Castro. Caracas, Venezuela.—During the carnival procession a Venezuelan fired two shots at President Crispiano Castro without effect. General Castro became president of Venezuela in October, as a result of the successful revolution against President Andrade, who fled from the republic. Prison for a Chicago Banker. Chicago.—Edward S. Dreyer, former president of the bank of E. $\textcircled{8}$. Dreyer & Co., and ex-treasurer of the West Park board, was found guilty of with holding from his successor as treasurer $316,000 of the West Park funds. The jury fixed the punishment at ; term in the penitentiary. No Anti-Pass Bill Adopted. Des Moines, Iowa.--After an all day discussion the Hughes anti-free pass bill lacked one vote of passing in the house. Last of Cervera's Cruisers. All chance of saving any of the Spanish armored cruisers sunk off Santiago, Cuba, has gone. The Cristobal Colon, which was pushed on the beach by the cruiser New York after the battle with Cervera's command, has slid into deep water. Declares for Free Trade.

Paardeberg, Feb. 27.—The British camp was awakened by the continued rattle of rifle fire at daybreak, and the news arrived that the Canadians, while building a trench quite close to the enemy, were fusiladed at a range of fifty yards. The Canadians gallantly worked forward and occupied the edge of the trenches along the river, entirely enfilading the Boers. This movement was followed by a cessation of the fire, except an occasional solitary shot. Suddenly a regiment stationed on the crest of a hill perceived a white flag and burst into cheers, thus first announcing the surrender of General Cronje. Shortly afterwards a note reached Lord Roberts bringing tidings of the Boers' unconditional surrender. General Prettyman was sent to accept the surrender. At about 7 o'clock a small group of men appeared in the distance crossing the plain towards headcuarters. The latter being apprised of General Cronje's approach, Lord Roberts went to the front in the modest coat in which he sleeps and ordered a guard of the Seaforths to line up. A group of horsemen then approached. On General Prettyman's right rode an elderly man clad in a rough short overcoat, a wide brimmed hat, ordinary tweed trousers and brown shoes. It was the redoubtable Cronje. His face was burned almost black ank his curly beard was tinged with gray. Cronje's face was absolutely impassive, exhibiting no sign of his inner feelings. "Lord Roberts was surrounded by his staff, when General Prettyman, addressing the field marshal, said: "Commandant Cronje, sir." The commandant touched his hat in salute and Lord Roberts saluted in return. The whole group then dismounted and Lord Roberts stepped forward and shook hands with the Boer commander. "You made a gallant defense, sir," was the first salutation of Lord Roberts to the vanquished Boer leader. Lord Roberts then motioned General Cronle to a seat in a chair which had been brought for his accommodation, and the two officers conversed through an interpreter. General Cronle afterward breakfasted with the British officers. BUCKET SHOPPING. Prominent Members of the Chicago Board of Trade Arrested. Chicago.—Three prominent members of the Chicago board of trade have been arrested by the federal authorities on the charge of "bucket shopping." The men taken into custody are: James Nichol, first vice president of the board of trade; Henry O. Parker, who was first vice president of the board immediately preceding Nicol, and Calvin A. Whyland, president of the firm of C. A. Whyland & Co. All of them are charged with using the mails to defraud in connection with the firm of McLain Bros. Huge Army Estimates. London.—The army estimates show a total expenditure of $307,517,000, an increase over last year of $204,412,000. The total number of officers and men is placed at 480,000, an increase over last year of 245,147. "Alvin Joslin" Dead. Pittsburg, Pa. — Charles L.

How We Vary in Weight It has been seriously asserted by many people that we are naturally lighter after a meal, and they have even gone the length of explaining this by the amount of gas that is developed from the food. Average observations, however, show that we lose three pounds six ounces between night and morning; that we gain one pound 12 ounces by breakfast; that we lose about 14 ounces before lunch; that lunch puts on an average of one pound; that we again lose during the afternoon an average of 10 ounces; but that an ordinary dinner to healthy persons adds two pounds two ounces to their weight. Average Time of a Wink "In the twinkling of an eye" is a phrase for brevity, but Mr. Garten, in the "Archives de Pfuger," has found the average time of a wink is about 0.40 second. The eyelid descends in about 0.80 second, stays down about 0.13 second to 0.17 second and rises again in about 0.17 second. Winking varies much in different persons, and rarely occurs when the attention is concentrated, but this omission is followed by series of winks to make up, either by resting the eye or cleaning it.

Sore Hands 8 Years Cured. Sore Hands 8 Years Cured. Pain So Intense Would Nearly Twist Fingers From Sockets. Hands Puffed Up Like a Toad. Water Ran Through Bandages to Floor. Had to Walk the Floor Until Would Fall Asleep. Fingers Would Peel Like an Onion. Doctors Could Not Cure. Eight years ago I got sore hands, commencing with a burning sensation on my fingers and on top of the hand. When I rubbed them, you could see little white pimples. I felt like twisting my fingers out of their sockets. I had high fever, and cold chills ran over me, and so I kept it going until I was tired out. Nights. I had to walk the floor until I fell asleep. My hands peeled like an onion, the finger nails got loose, and the water ran out, and wherever there was a little pimple there the burning fire was—that happened at least ten times. I am running a blacksmith shop, horse-shoeing, and I would not shut up the shop for anybody, but it was hard. My hands puffed up worse than a toad. When I drove horse nails, the water from my hands ran through the bandage, on to the floor. My customers refused to look at my hand. I had a friend take me to the doctor; he gave a solution of something to bathe my hands. I went to another doctor, I think, for a year. I found your advertisement in a Utica newspaper, and I got the CUTICUA remedies. As soon as I used them I began to gain, and after using a small quantity of them I was entirely cured. I would not take fifty dollars for a sake of CUTICUA SOAP if I could not get any more. I would not suffer any more as I did, for the whole country. Feb. 23, 1838. CASPER DIETSCHLER.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM—When I first wrote to you I was in a very bad condition. I was passing through the change of life, and the doctors said I had bladder and liver trouble. I had suffered for nine years. Doctors failed to do me any good. Since I have taken Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, my health has improved very much. I will gladly recommend your medicine to others and am sure that it will prove as great a blessing to them as it has to me."—MRS. GEO. H. JUNE, 901 DeKalb Ave., Brooklyn, N. Y. Relief Game Promptly "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM—I had been under treatment with the doctors for four years, and seemed to get no better, I thought I would try your medicine. My trouble was change of life, and I must say that I never had anything help me so much as Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Belief came almost immediately. I have better health now than I ever had. I feel like a new woman, perfectly strong. I give Lydia E. Pinkham's Compound all the credit, and would not do without her medicine for anything. I have recommended it to several of my friends. There is no need of women suffering so much for Mrs. Pinkham's remedies are a sure cure." — MAHALA BUTLER, Bridgewater, Ill.

He Had Only 3,000 Men—Surgender Was Without Condition of any Kind —Few Guns Were Captured— London.—The war office received the following dispatch from Lord Roberts Tuesday morning: “Paardeberg, Feb. 27, 7:45 a. m. General Cronje and all of his force capitulated unconditionally at daylight and are now prisoners in my camp. The strength of his force will be communicated later. “I hope that her majesty's government will consider this event satisfactory, occurring as it does on the anniversary of Mauja.” Twenty-nine Transvaal officers were captured and eighteen Free State officers were made prisoners. The guns captured from the Transvaal forces were seven 5-centimeter Krupps, nine 1-pounders and one Maxim gun. From the Free Staters the British captured seven 5-centimeter Krupps and one Maxim gun. Lord Roberts has done more than to capture 4,000 Boers and a few guns; he is within striking distance of one of the Boer capitals, and is master of a large district of the Free State. He has given a shock to Boer confidence and immeasurably restored the spirit of his own troops. In capturing Cronje, he has taken a leader whose presence alone was worth thousands to the Boer cause. The best opinion here is that the Transvaalers are certain to continue the fight with undiminished valor, but it is not so certain about the Free Staters. At 5 o'clock the war office announced that it had received the following dispatch from Lord Roberts: "Paardeberg, Feb. 27, 11 o'clock Tuesday morning.—From information furnished daily to me by the intelligence department it became apparent that General Cronje's force was becoming more depressed and that the discontent of the troops and the discord among the leaders were rapidly increasing. This feeling was doubtless accentuated by the disappointment caused when the Boer reinforcements, which tried to relieve General Cronje, were defeated by our troops on February 23. I resolved, therefore, to bring pressure to bear upon the enemy. "Each night the trenches were pushed forward toward the enemy's lager, so as to gradually contract his position, and at the same time I bombarded it heavily with artillery, which was yesterday materially aided by the arrival of four six-inch howitzers which I had ordered up from DeAr. In carrying out these measures a captive balloon gave great assistance in keeping us informed of the disposition and movements of the enemy. At 3 o'clock this morning a most dashing advance was made by the Canadian regiment and some engineers, supported by the First Gordon Highlanders and Second Shropshire, resulting in our gaining a point some 600 yards nearer the enemy, and within about eighty yards of his trenches, where our men entrenched themselves and maintained their positions till morning, a gallant deed worthy of our colonial comrades and which, I am glad to say, was attended by comparatively slight loss. "This apparently clinched matters, for at daylight to-day a letter signed by General Cronje, in which he stated that he surrendered unconditionally, was brought to our outposts under a flag of truce. "In my reply I told General Cronje he must present himself at my camp and that his forces must come out of their laager after laying down their arms. By 7 o'clock this morning I received General Cronje and dispatched a telegram to you announcing the fact. "In the course of conversation he asked for kind treatment at our hands, and also that his wife, grandson, private secretary, adjutant and servants might accompany him wherever he might be sent. I reassured him and told him his request would be compiled with. I informed him that a general officer would be sent with him to Cape Town, to insure his being treated with proper respect en route. He will start this afternoon under charge of Major General Prettyman, who will hand him over to the general commanding at Cape Town. "The prisoners, who number about 3,000, will be formed into commandes under our own officers. They will also leave here to-day, reaching the Modder river to-morrow, when they will be raided to Cape T-win in detachments." Bryan and Caldwell. Boston.—George F. Washburn, chairman of the Massachusetts Populist state committee, who has just returned from the Populist national committee meeting, held at Lincoln, Neb. says that the Populists will nominate William J. Bryan and Judge Henry C. Caldwell for president and vice president, and that the Democratie national convention will indorse the ticket. Not to Decide War or Peace. Washington.—The War department will probably reject applications of enlisted men to purchase their discharge, as it finds it has authority to do that in times of peace. In this way it escapes deciding whether the United States is at war. A Costly Sunday Fight. London — The war office has issued a list of 721 non-commissioned officers and men wounded in the fighting at Paardeburg, Sunday, February 18, including sixty-three Canadians and 273 Highlander CONGRESSIONAL. Feb. 28.—The battle over the Puerto Rican tariff bill ended in the House Wednesday in a victory for the Republicans. The bill, as amended, as agreed upon at the conference of Republicans, so as to reduce the tariff from 25 to 15 per cent of the American tariff and limiting its life to two years, was passed by a vote of 172 yeas to 161 nays. Six Republicans, Messrs. Crumpacker of Indiana, Fletcher of Minnesota, Heatwole of Minnesota, Littlefield of Maine, Lorimer of Illinois and McCall of Massachusetts, voted with the opposition against the bill, and four Democrats, Messrs. Davey and Meyer of Louisiana, Devries of California and Sibley of Pennsylvania, voted with the Republicans for the bill. Hereulean efforts had been made to get out the full vote and this led to some remarkable incidents. Six men were brought from beds of sickness; two of them from hospitals. Mr. Brownlow, of Tennessee, was brought in a carriage, accompanied by his wife and physician. He sat bundled up near the entrance until his vote was given and then withdrew. Feb. 27.—The general debate on the Puerto Rican tariff bill closed in a blaze of glory. Mr. Dolliver of Iowa and Mr. Bailey of Texas made the closing arguments. ITS REMEDY FOR TRUSTS. The Industrial Commission Relies Chiefly on Publicity. Washington. — The industrial commission has submitted to Congress a preliminary report on trusts and industrial combinations. It makes the following recommendations: Promoters and organizers of corporations or industrial combinations which look to the public to purchase or deal in their stocks or securities should be required to furnish full details in regard to their business necessary for safe and intelligent investment. Any prospectus which fails to give this information or which gives false information should be held legally responsible. The directors or trustees should be required to report to the members of a corporation its financial condition in reasonable detail; to give members access to records of directors' meeting and to furnish them with lists of members, with their addresses and their several holdings. It is recommended that the larger corporations should be required to publish annually a properly audited report, showing in reasonable detail their assets and liabilities, with profit or loss; such report and audit to be under oath and to be subject to government inspection. With regard to the interstate commission it is recommended that it be given authority not only to prescribe the methods of keeping accounts of railroads and to demand reports in such detail as it may require, but also to inspect and audit such accounts; that the decisions of the commission be made operative at a day fixed in the decisions and remain so unless reversed by the United States courts in appeal. that the commission be authorized to prescribe classifications of freight articles and to make rules and regulations for freight transportation throughout the United States and that penalties for violations of the interstate commerce act should be appropriate fines against the carrier and not imprisonment of officials. LOST THEIR SUIT. Dewey and His Men to Get the Minimum Bounty. Washington. — The United States court of claims has rendered an opinion on the claim of Admiral Dewey, his officers and men for naval bounty under section 4635 of the revised statutes, for the destruction of the Spanish fleet in Manila bay, May 1, 1898, the court holding that the claimant has a right to recover for each person on board the enemy's ships the sum of $100. This decision is upon the basis that the admiral's fleet was superior to the Spanish fleet, excluding the shore batteries, the torpedoes and the mines in Manila bay. Admiral Dewey's claim was for $200 for each man belonging to the enemy's fleet, including the supporting shore batteries, mines and torpedoes. Under the decision Admiral Dewey is personally entitled to $9,570. A Library for Jefferson City. Jefferson City.—Jefferson City may secure from Andrew Carnegie $25,000 for a public library. The Rev.

His stipulation is that Jefferson City shall provide a site for the building and create a fund for the maintenance of the library. A $10,000,000 Sewer Pipe Trust. The manufacturers of sewer pipe from various parts of the country have formed a combination taking in the majority of the firms in the United States.

Melbourne, Victoria.—The secretary of state for the colonies, Joseph Chamberlain, has cabled to the Australian governments asking whether they would be able to send additional troops to South Africa in the event that imperial troops are required elsewhere. Heavy Snow Storm. From five to fourteen inches of snow fell in Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Nebraska Tuesday. It was the heaviest general fall for many years. BULLER WINS AT LAST. HE SUCCEEDS IN RELIEVING LADYSMITH. Goers Get Away Without Losing a Gun or Their Baggage—London Wild With Joy—Lord Roberts Soon to Have an Army of 250,000 Men to Continue His / Journey to Pretoria. London.—The war office has received the following dispatch from General Buller announcing the relief of Ladysmith. “Lyttleton's Headquarters, March 1, 9:05 a. m.—General Dundonald, with the Natal Carbineers and a composite regiment, entered Ladysmith last night. “The country between me and Ladysmith is reported clear of the enemy. I am moving on Nelthorpe.—Buller.” Nelthorpe is s.x miles south of Ladysmith. In a later dispatch General Buller wired from Nelthorpe that he had just returned from Ladysmith. He adds that the whole country south of Nelthorpe is cleared of the Boers. The following is the text of the dispatch: "Nethorpe, March 1.—5:20 p. m.—I have just returned from Ladysmith. Except a small guard, north of Surprize hill, the whole of the enemy lately besieging the town have retired in hot haste, and to the south of the town the country is quite clear of them. "The garrison were on half a pound of meal a man per day, and supplementing the meat ration by horses and mules. The men will want a little nursing before being fit for the field." The Boers seem to have gotten quite away from around Ladysmith without losing a gun or their baggage. Van Reenan's pass is only about twenty miles from Ladysmith. The enemy had artillery in action Tuesday, and they probably used both railroads in retreating, sending the heavy pieces to Pretoria and the lighter ones into the Free State. Dr. Leyds says that General Joubert is assembling 50,000 men at Wiberg, seventy miles northeast of Bloemfontein. Colonel Albrecht, according to a dispatch from Paardeberg, affirms that the Boers have 75,000 men left. Whether Lord Roberts is at Bloemfontein now or not, he doubled soon will be dating his dispatches there, and using the town as his advanced base. Lord Kitchener's mission is to combine the forces under General Clement and General Gatacre and to advance along the line of the railroad to Bloemfontein. Britons feel that they are living in the presence of momentous events. Tornadoes of patriotic excitement are whirling through the country. London's 6,000,000 people were raised to a high pitch of patriotic exultation. It was a wonderful sight. Old men have nothing in memory with which to compare the day. Some likened it to Lucknow, others talked of the fall of Sebastopol. It was a time of singular abandon. The usual conventions of society ceased to control, and everyone knew everybody else, all joining in smiles or bellowings, as their dispositions seemed to move them. Lord Lansdowne chose the psychological moment to announce estimates exceeding $300,000,000, and rather startled the public by unfolding the program of the war office to send out, in addition to the 30,000 now afloat, 56,000 fresh soldiers. Lord Roberts will ultimately have a force of a quarter of a million. Until midnight London gave itself up to the wildest expressions of joy. From the Mansion house to the West end all the leading thoroughfares were constantly paraded by cheering crowds, intermittently bursting into patriotic songs. Bands marched through the streets. The West end clubs, the cafes, the restaurants and the public buildings were all brilliantly illuminated. One striking feature of the rejoicing was the great number of American flags intertwined with the British. NOTHING FOR LIL. Senate Refuses to Appropriate $250,000 for Ex-Queen. March 1.—The bill providing a form of government for the territory of Hawaii was passed by the Senate without division. Mr. Clark of Wyoming proposed an amendment appropriating $250,000 to be paid to Liliuokalani, late queen of the Hawaiian islands, for all interest she may have in the crown lands, the sum to be repaid from the revenues of the crown lands. The amendment was laid on the table. Trade Stopped by a Strike in Cuba. Havana.—The strikers at Cienfuegos are still out and as a consequence all business there is paralyzed. The owners of sugar plantations say they will be compelled to shut down in a few days unless something is done. Fair Left $50 to His Widow.

The will provides that any widow of the senator shall receive only $50. "Bill" Higgins as an Editor. Galena, Kan.—Galena is to have a new Republican daily. The first number will appear about March 15, and its editorial management will be under the control of William Higgins, ex-secretary of state of Kansas. DANDIT SHOT DOWN. Officers Kill Louie Logan, a Train Robber, Near Kansas City. 1 Lonie Logan, a notorious desperado from Wyoming, known also as Lou Curry, one of the six men who robbed a Union Pacific train of $34,000 in cash on June 2nd last, was surrounded and killed near Dodson, sixteen miles south of Kansas City, about half past 8 o'clock Wednesday morning. The killing was done by a posse of six detectives from Kansas City—three from the police department and three Pinkerton men. The men in the posse were Edward Hickman, secretary to Chief Hayes; Joseph Keshlar, excounty marshal, and Police Detective Thomas McAnany, Police Detective Captain Mahady of the Pinkertons, B. F. Kimble, assistant superintendent of Pinkertons at Kansas City, and a Pinkerton operative whose name the officers refuse to give out. Curry was visiting the home of his aunt and cousin, Mrs. Bob Lee and Miss Lizzie Lee. He had been there a week. The officers drove to Dodson in two carriages, surrounded the house and called Curry out. He was called on to surrender. Instead, he whipped out a revolver and prepared to shoot. The next instant he had been shot to death. To Sayers, assistant superintendent of the Pinkerton office at San Francisco, belongs the credit of trailing Lewis Curry here. Curry's real name is Lonie Logan. He passed eight years of his boyhood at the house at which he was killed. The robbery, which led up to the killing of Curry and his four pals before him, occurred on the Union Pacific road, ten miles west of Rock Creek, Wyo., in the early morning of Friday, June 2, 1899. There were six men in the robbery—Lewis Curry, just killed at Dodson; Harvey Curry, his brother; Bob Curry, another brother; Bob Lee, their cousin and two others. The robbers got away with with $34,000. In the posse which pursued them Sheriff Hazen of Converse county, was killed. The railroads and express companies and the government offered in all $18,000 reward for them dead or alive. Bob Lee and Harvey Curry were killed at Hole in the Wall about a month ago by Tom Horn, after a fierce fight. Horn is now a detective there for the cattle companies. One of the robbers, Bob Curry, is still at large. Since the finding of Lewis Curry, at Dodson a few days ago, the Pinkertons have learned that Harvey Curry, one of the men killed by Horn a month ago, also visited the Lees at Dodson recently. He came early in the fall and left for his Wyoming home about January 1. DUAL GOVERNMENT. Democratic Contestants Sworn In in Kentucky. Frankfort, Ky.—Two state governments, completely officered, and each claiming to be the regular and legal officials, are in Frankfort and will remain, each claiming the right to administer the affairs of state, till the question is adjudicated in the courts. Both sides are without funds, the banks refusing to cash warrants pending a settlement. Germany tz a Missouri. Washington.—The German government has sent a handsome chronometer watch to Secretary of State Hay for Commander James M. Miller of the Scandia for his kindness to the German commissioner to Samoa, Baron Sternberg. Commander Miller was in charge of the Badger that took the Samoan commission from San Francisco to Apia. A special act of Congress will be necessary to allow him to receive the gift. Commander Miller's home before he entered the navy was at Liberty, Mo., where members of his family still live. Damaged by Elevated Roads. Chicago.—The appellate court has rendered a unanimous opinion through Judge Adams that property owners along the line of the various elevated railroads in Chicago may sue for damages alleged to have been sustained by the depreciation of property values resulting from the construction and operation of the elevated systems. The decision has a direct bearing on suits against the elevated railroad companies in which the aggregate of damages might run into millions. As the Davil Would Do It. Atchison, Kan.—Rav. Mr. Sheldon, in publishing the Topeka Capital as "Jesus Would Do" is to have a rival for the same week beginning March 12, the Atchison Champion will be run daily as the "Devil Would Run It," the six issues will be under the exclusive management of W.

Y.-Montagu White, of Pretoria, former consul general of the South African Republic at London, said the surrender of General Cronje marked the close of the offensive operations of the war. The enormous, overwhelming British force has compelled the abandonment of offensive tactics and the beginning of defense. Native Troops for Cuba. The war department is contemplating the organization of three regiments of native troops in Cuba. April 11 has been tentatively selected as the time when the substitution of Cuban troops for American troops shall begin. Kansas City Republican Primaries. Alderman P. S.
