Oldest and Best Weekly paper devoted to the Race in this section of the Country Literary Association opportunities to make love to the daughter of his hostand finanlly asked her to marry him. In England the case is different, and a duke may dine a commoner one day and not know him the next. Social presumption between classes is so well defined in England and so safe guarded that while it exists technically, it does not in practice, with race exceptions. Americans living abroad do not oppose the social recognition of the colored man, however much may be said to the contrary. After the first shock is over of seeing him so received, one hears most fair-minded Americans declare that apparently it can be done in England, and that it seems to be fraught with no dangers. After all, it is rather strange that the number of blacks in England is not more largely increased from year to year on account of the many opportunities open to them here. English honeymoon With the wives of the heads of colleges and the great professors, and with aristocratic girls who would consider it an impossible condescension to bow to a tradesman in the street. In making the round of college teas one meets them at the best houses and classed with such foreign as the East Indian or the Japanese. One seldom hears college men speak of the black man from America as different from the yellow man from China, the swarthy Slav from Russia or the fierce Turk from the land of Mohammed. At reception in London one may find the hostess on the arm of a colored man, taking him out of the tea room as a mark of special honor. At dinners in town and country, Americans have been startled by a negro's face beaming at them from the other side of the table. TALES Mrs. Mar list. Mrs. A. M on the sick latt.

A Kansas woman committed suicide after brooding over a poem on life and death Come, poets, cheer rp. Poetry is still sometimes taken seriously. It is hard to tell how a boy is going to turn out. A young man who formerly stood high as a baseball player has become a member of the Massachusetts Legislature. At a teachers' institute in the West a lecturer offered a prize to any one who could correctly pronounce twenty words address, bicycles, cocaine, adult, bona fide, caffeine, cerebrum, cerebral cicatrix, cicatrice, clematis, data, eczema, exemplary, gladiolus, paresis, program, pyramidal and squalor. Two teachers tried and failed, as the average man or woman would. Perhaps they consolled themselves with thinking that had the list been taken away srom the glib instructor, he himself might not have been able to spell and define as well as pronounce them all. pounce them They Are Entertained By English People of Birth And Breeding. The American student of English life finds few things more interesting than the curious inconsistencies of English society and among these inconsistencies there is none more astounding that the social status of the negro in England. In the great university towns one sees progress at college balls waltzing with bells tails of even exalted station. In the visitors' books in some of the greatest houses in England, there are names of negro guests. Booker T. Washington has been entertained in England by cabinet ministers, and by the oldest nobility of the realm, and no comment was made about it. He could probably dine with the king if he tried to, and if he did it would not create as much future as President Roosevelt's dinner to Booker T. Washington did. The black Emperor Menelik of Abyssinia has many friend in England, and few of the English aristocracy pass through his dominion without accepting hospitality and presents from him. They would make a lion of him if he ever came to London. They have already lionized an aide-decamp from his court who appeared in London about a year ago as the emperor's representative at the Pan-African conference. He was a tall and slender fellow of the pure negro type, who wore his dashing uniform resplendent with gold, with the grace of a countier, who spoke French as well as his native tongue and who used apar of liquid, dark eyes with telling effect. This extraordinary spectacle of the negro in society, one sees also in France and throughout the continent, but it does not appear so strange as in England, the most socially conservative country on the face of the earth in Paris, for example, one may frequently drive in the Bois de Boulogne behind African women handsomely gowned, lounging back gracefully in their elegant carriages. It is no uncommon sight to see a colored child carried in the arms of a white nurse. White women have married black men and forfeited no social stand-in Paris, as, for instance, the white wife of the negro artist, Tanner, She is received not only in Bohemian Paris, but in social Paris as well. But most extraordinary all, she has an entre as the wife of her husband which she would not have without him. Tanner is feted and sought for just like any other genius; one hears remarks now and then that he is a negro, but much the same as if the speaks had designated him as an Italian or a Russian. When the great Methodist international conference met in London last summer, there were numerous colored delegates who were invited to all the functions held for the dignitaries in general. Some of the Americans demurred a little, especially those from the South, but the only trouble that arose came from a servant of a certain tithed host. This gentleman had invited a number of negroes to dine with his other guest one evening, but an hour after the time for the feast passed and not one of the negroes had appeared. Inquires were finally made of the servants who said, in all innocence: "If you please, sir we have been turning minstrels away from the door alerening." The English women who drink tea in London with a negro will find him almost invariably intelligent, interesting well educated and even cultured. She judges the race to be like him, forgetting that the dozen or more of the race knocking at the doors of English society are the pack from 8 million black, scattered through the length and breadth of the United States, he Tvery smallness of the number in England make recognition feasible, but deeper even than this is a vital difference between England and American which few English people understand in what might be termed "social presumption." There is technically no such a thing as social presumption in the United States because there is no line of class. A negro would once to a house would not be presuming if he claimed a permanent recognition in consequence, even if he took Rey, Wm. Johnson, missionary. KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, They Say. She is a Miss Hanna from Savannah. This love problem is an awful knotty one. Life is filled with much unpleasantness for some people. She lives in the Sea form block and is the whole cheese. It certainly looks like it is all going out and nothing coming in. It was thought they would go with—Williams and Walker but——. God pity them both and pity us all who vainly the dreams of youth recall. He often thinks of her and wonders if some day she'll wonder back again. It takes all of some people time to attend to other peoples business—we hope no guilty ones will read this. Running a newspaper is a business full of ups and downs-more downs than ups. He is a bachelor and he eats milk and mush he is crippled but don't say he lives in the Sea foam block. DON'T BITE. CLIFFORD E. DAVIS. We all remember the verse in our school, reader, "Suppose the world don't please you, Nor the way some people do. Do you think the whole creation, will be altered just for you?" It is best to put up with much personal inconvenience rather than to pull a cloud over the sun by grumbling over it. If other People have thorny habits, we are not called upon to imp our—selfs upon them as the butcher bird skewers its victims. I once heard a sermon, delivered expressly to gossips, from text, "And that ye study to be quiet; and to do your own business." (I Thess. 4.1.1.) Life is too short to spend in grumbling and gossipping about others. The mechanical energy that expended would lift some burden of woo ten feet if some tired soul. It may be interesting at the time to some; (so is the buzzards' feast to the birds of carrion) but a hundred years from now it will all be forgotten as the mist from a last fog. A look at Egyptain mummies will recall the folly of useless talk, and peppery tempret. "Dogs欲 to bark and bite, for 'Its their nature true'; but humans "created a little lower than the angels" snaps and snarls like spaniels very often. But we are told in the bible that there is a time for all things; and there is a time to not only snap and grumble, but bite also; and that is when wrong and evil doing come in our way. It is wh if men eat, but what they digest, makes them strong; not what we gain, but what we have, that makes us rich not what men read, but what they remember, that makes them learned, and not what we preach, but what we practice, that makes us Christian.

The Negro has many burdens but his greatest burdens are his own weakness and his deception among those with whom he is identified. The Negro must practise honesty and pursue industry if he wants to rid himself of his many acts of deception and disobsession. These are the greatest burdens the Negro possesses. There are many more things that he must rid himself of before he rids himself of oppression and the illist hat befall him. The Negro lacks stability which is a necessary requisite to his success in life. There are thousands of ills that impede the progress of the Negro, but the ills will be found to be of his own making. Let the Negro rid himself of his own burdens and then he will be able to rid himself of those imposed up in him by others. "To know All is to Forgive All," If I knew you and you knew me— If both of us could clearly see, And with an inner sight devine The meaning of your heart and mine I'm sure that we would differ less And clasp our hands in friendliness; Our thoughts would pleasantly agree If I knew you and you knew me. If I knew you and you knew me, As each one knows his own self, we Could look each other in the face And see therea a truer grace. Life has so many bidden woes, So many thorns for every rose. The "why" of things our he rts would If I know you and you grew me. -Nixon Waterman, in Good Cheer.

Notwithstanding racial prejudices the Negro is well represented as far as the disposition of Federal patronage is concered. Many people believe that although his services at the polls are thankfully recieved, when the rewards for victory are dispensed the Negro is somehow forgotten. That this is untrue is snow by the records. In the Treasury Department millions of dollars are stored and millions handled daily. The employees must of necessity be beyond suspicion of dishonesty. In this department there are 210 colored men. The compensation these 210 recieve is $200,000 annually in round numbers. The Interior Department, with its numerous bureaus, its the next on the list with 200-Negroes, who draw $271,000 annually. The Government Printing Office closely follows with 168 Negroes. The paymaster hands them the tidy sum of $115,600 a year. The State Department recognizes the Negro in the department proper at Washington to the extent of $22,500 a year, and twenty-five Negroes have the distinction of adding their momentum to the wheels of diplomacy. In the Consular service however, which comes under the State Department, there are eleven Negro consuls, who get $25,000 a year. Charles Emory Smith Postmaster General, joins that the Postoffice Department is a large brotherhood. Under him are thirty-four colored brethern who get $24,680 yearly. In the War Department proper at Washington $45,000 is distributed a forty colored office holders. During the war with Spain the Negro was well represented in the army. There were in 1899 in the military services of the United States 15,050 colored men Included in these were 266 colored officers, the greatest number in the history of the country. Many of these are still in the service and doing active duty in the Philippines and Cuba. These 15,000 drew $4,751,072 a year. In the Navy Department the colored citizens have only twenty-five repre- senatives, who receive an average of $800 each per year.

With the object of encouraging agriculture in the Souden the British government has tentatively begun to purchase the crops raised by the fellas. Special commissions have been appointed for the regulation and establishment of titles to real property in town and country. These commissions settle the questions at issue on the spot. The continuous possession of a piece of ground for five years is regarded as sufficient evidence of title. The prohibition to grow tobacco has been withdrawn. An experiment in colonization has been carried out in the districts along the Blue and White Niles with two disbanded Soudanese battalions, but even so soon as this there is a considerable improvement in the condition of affairs in the Souden. Fuel Out of Waste. One problem which municipal authorities of all countries have been seeking to solve is how to best dispose of the city's garbage. A process has been discovered in France, by which garbage is converted into briquettes. It consists of mincing the refuse, straw, paper and the like and adding tar and naphthalene. The whole mass is then mixed in a kneading apparatus and dried, and pressed into briquettes. The director of the Paris municipal laboratory says that these briquettes have a slight odor of gas, burn brightly, and engender heat slowly. With a more highly perfected method of manufacture they will engender less ash, and the heat-producing qualities will be about the same as those of common coal. Restoring Frescoes. The castle of Clis, in Tient, at present used as a barracks, contains some very fine frescoes and wall paintings made when the Cardinal von Cles occupied the palace as bishop of the see.

Why a Young Women Uterated Strange Sentences in Dead Languages Sentences in Dead Languages. The vagaries of memory are some of the most interesting of those connected with the human mind and body. Why do we forget certain things and remember others? Myriads of these irregularities are as yet unaccounted for; perhaps not even the cleverest metaphysician will ever account for them. Professor James reminds us how something which we have tried in vain to recall will afterward, when we have given up the attempt, "saunter into the mind," as Emerson says, as innocently as if it had never been summoned. Again, bygone experiences will revive after years of oblivion, often as the result of some cerebral disease or accident. Such a case is the one quoted by Coleridge of a young woman in Germany who could neither read nor write, but who was said to be possessed of a devil because, in a fever, she was heard raving in Latin, Greek and in an obscure rabbinical dialect of Hebrew. Whole pages of her talk were written down, and were found to consist of sentences intelligible in themselves, but not having the slightest connection with one another. To say that she was possessed of a devil was the easiest way of accounting for the matter. At last the mystery was cleared up by a physician, who traced back the girl's history until he learned that at the age of nine she was taken to live at the house of an old pastor, a great Hebrew scholar, and that she remained there until the pastor's death. It had been for years the old man's custom to walk up and down a passage near the kitchen, and read to himself in a loud voice. His books were examined, and among them many of the passages taken down at the young woman's bedside were identified. The theory of demoniacal possession was abandoned—Yevah's Companion.

Turned Over 650 Men and 500 Rifles to the Americans. General Callies has surrendered at Santa Cruz, Province of Laguna, Luzon island, with 650 men and 500 rifles. Caths of allegiance to the United States were administered to the former insurgents. Colonel Caballes, who fled to the mountains with a portion of his command, has likewise surrendered. Callies did not sufficiently control the populace to bring in all the insurgents in his district. The proceedings of surrender were orderly. Colonel Caballes, who, with 120 of General Cailles' command, fleed to the mountains in fear of being hanged by the Americans, has been overtaken by messengers from Cailles, conveying the general's orders to surrender. When Cailles' messengers caught up with and explained the situation to the fleeing colonel, the latter apologized to his general and returned to Pagsangan with still another 120 men whom he persuaded to come in and surrender. Caballes brings at least 500 rifles from the outlying posts beyond Pagsangan. It is reported that a large number of Cailles' followers have approached him with the proposition that he issue a strongly worded proclamation declaring all Filipino insurgents who refuse to surrender immediately to be considered as bandits, and that this proclamation be published by the insurgent presidente of every town in Laguna province. TRAGEDY NEAR PARSONS, KAN W. H. Tramberger is Killed and His Son Shot by W. M. Reed. W. M. Reed, about 23 years of age, son of D. M. Reed, a prominent farmer living northeast of Parsons, Kan. shot and killed W. A. Tramberger, a neighbor, and severely wounded his son Frank. Reed and his father were driving home from Parsons when they met Tramberger and his son as they were emerging from a cornfield, where they had been cutting corn. The Reeds claim that they were about to attack them with the corn knives which they had been using when young Reed shot and killed the elder Tramberger and seriously wounded his son, with a Winchester rifle which they had in the wagon. Trouble had been brewing between the Reeds and the Trambers for several years. Reed had Tramberger arrested for assault and battery, from which charge he was acquitted. Reed came to Parsons at a late hour last night and surrendered. He was held without bail until his preliminary hearing. BANDIT IS IDENTIFIED. Texas Officers Have the Murderous Mexican Beyond Doubt. Sheriffs Avant of Atascosa county, Kissel of Trio and *Deputy Sheriff Chote of Karnes county, Texas, with several members of their various posses, have arrived at Laredo, Texas, to identify the man captured by Captain Rogers and J. P. Marram about forty miles above Laredo. Among the men who arrived were two who knew the prisoner. One of them, William Lourey, of Bastrop county, has known Cortez since 1892, and Deputy Sheriff Chote of Karnes county has known him for several years. They both positively identified the prisoner, and said there is absolutely no doubt that he is the man whom they have known all these years as Gregorio Cortez, and who killed Sheriff Morris of Kansas county and Sheriff Glover of Gonzales county. The identification is complete and the alleged murderer will be surrendered to the officers from the interior. WOMAN LEAPS INTO LAKE. Suicide of Excursion Boat Passenger Near Milwaukee. According to a story told by Richard Silver, a passenger on the Goodrich line steamer Virginia, a woman supposed to be Mrs. Rosa Richter of Chicago, committed suicide by jumping overboard from the Virginia when the steamer was about a mile from Milwaukee. Wis. It is said Mrs. Richter became violent shortly after the steamer left Chicago and attempted to end her life by leaping overboard, but was prevented. After the first attempt it is said she was placed in one of the state room; and a guard placed over her. On the steamer nearing Milwaukee the guard ceased vigilance, with the result that the woman is reported to have carried out her threat.

Nesca for Southern Negroes It is said by a correspondent of the Baltimore Sun that West Virginia is rapidly becoming more and more the mecca of the negroes of the South. The climate of this state, as a whole, is congenial to this grace, and the great coal and coking industries in operation in almost every county, together with the extensive railroad construction being carried on, furnish ready as well as lucrative employment for negro laborers, of whom 15,000 are employed in the mines. Basketball Champs for Exercise John D. Rockefeller is following the example of Gladstone and chopping wood merely as exercise on his road to health at his country seat in Pocantico Hills.

Besides his woodchopping, Mr. Rockefeller exercises with dumbbells and in outdoor walking.

Traits of the Mikado The Mikado of Japan is a man of much energy and endurance and is constantly smoking cigarettes.

His devotion to lawn tennis is marked, and he is clever as a wizard of the racket. An Important Discovery Detroit, Mich., Jan. 13.—A sensational statement is made by Mr. Benjamin Majer, who a home is at the corner of Jane and . . . without Ave., this city. Mr. Majer says that he has found a remedy which will positively cure all kidney and Bladder troubles. He suffered himself for a long time with these diseases in the most painful form, and during his illness experimented with a great many medicines without getting any relief. Finally he tried Dodd's kidney Pills, and to his great joy was cured completely. The statement he makes seems to have ample confirmation in reports being published every day of wonderful cures by this remedy. British Writers Left Fortune The British Writers Left Fortunes. The fact that Sir Walter Besant died with less than $30,000 to his credit has called attention to the fortunes other British writers left. Except Sir Walter Scott no novelist has ever made such as would be regarded by men in the money market as wealth. Scott's income averaged for years $50,000 a year. Dickens left $100,000. Thackeray less, Bulwer Lytton, with a very keen eye for the main chance and a considerable but encumbered estate $400,000. A Devotee of Three Arts Weeden Grossmith, besides being an excellent actor, is a clever portrait painter and has several times been bung on the line at Burlington house. He is indeed, a devotee of three arts—of music, painting and the drama, for. In addition to his painting and his acting, he is a violinist of no mean order. It is fifteen years since he made his debut on the stage, his adoption of it as a profession being the result of many amateur performances. OF THE "LOST CAUSE" HISTORICAL RELICIS IN THE CITY OF NEW ORLEANS. Battle Flags That Waved on Every Sternly Contested Field During That Colossal Struggle, with Their Tender Memories, Are Sacredly Kept. In Memorial Hall in New Orleans is a wonderful collection of relics of the "Lost Cause." There is the flag of Hillard's Alabama legion, which was pressed eighty-three times in the charge up Snodgrass hill at the battle of Chickamauga, which had hundreds of men killed under it, which had three color-bearers killed while waving it on high, and which was at last planted where they wanted to plant it, while the command having lost half of its strength under the orders of a first leutenant assembled under its bullet-torn folds and gave a cheer—weak and feeble though the men were—of defiance and resolution. And there is the tiny rocking chair, upholstered in velvet with lilies, a worn mabagany chair, used by Miss Winnie Davis when she was a child. The flag of the 25th Louisiana regiment, army of Tennessee, faded, frazed, worn, drooping from the weight of years—the flag which Lieut. Estilie wrapped around his body the night before the surrender in order that it might be brought safe to the golden hearts and the tender hands of the women of New Orleans who made it—hangs here. Forty-eight per cent of the 4th Louisiana regiment was killed at Chickamauga. They went in under command of a colonel and came out under command of a second lieutenant. Flags of the 12th Louisiana, Dreux battalion from New Orleans, Black Jaegers of the 22d Louisiana, a piece of the 10th Louisiana, 15th Louisiana, Rosalie Guards from West Feliciana, Cowan's battery, St. Mary Cannonele, Legardeur's battery, guildon guards of New Orleans, lancehead and flag of 2d Louisiana cavalry, 20th Louisiana, 30th Louisiana captured by the 46th Ohio, and restored in September, 1901, flag used by merchantmen in the confederate service, Washington artillery, 16th Missouri, all these are draped over their staffs in the main hail. Hardee's corps flag, a rare one, with the names Murfreesboro, Perryville, Farmington and Shiloh inscribed around the name of the corps in a circle, occupies a conspicuous place near the platform. All these tell their story of courage. The bullet holes are eloquent of suffering, of privation, of long, weary marches and of supreme patriotism. The flag of Gens. Beauregard and Johnston, made from the skil skirts of the Misses Cary of Richmond and presented to the generals after the first battle of Manassas, files here. A small piece of the flag which floated from the dome of the confederate capitol at Richmond during the seven days' battle when Lee's little army held the city safe against overwhelming odds, the flag which the soldiers fought for at Maryo's Heights, at Cold Harbor, at Gaines' Mill and in the wilderness, is sacrely kept. And there are fragments of the standard of the 18th Louisiana which the men tore up the night before the surrender. They had marched under it, starved for it for four years; it was theirs and they would not give it up. There are cannon balls from nearly a hundred battlefields, minnie balls, stray bullets, pieces of muskets, a fragment of the flagstaff of Fort Sumter, a fragment of the flag of the Crescent City regiment, which was divided among the men the night before the surrender of Natchitoches. Every conceivable kind of relic from the great columbian to a bird shot, all these have, and there is a story to each—New Orleans Times-Democrat. TRAINING FOR WOMEN College to Enable Scholars to Acquire Independent Living The proposed establishment of a great technical college for women in Boston, for which a bequest of $2,500,000 is available, will be a new development of higher education for women. The specific purpose of the college will be to teach "medicine, designing, telegraphy and other branches of art, science and industry best calculated to enable the scholars to acquire an independent livelihood." It is, of course, no new thing for women to acquire a technical training along the lines indicated; but they have often been obliged to acquire it in a haphazard way, without the advantage of competent teachers and adequate equipment, and then they have been expected to compete successfully with young men in the same callings graduated from great technical schools. The industrial side of education for women is well to the fore just now. The woman's auxiliary of the Kansas City Manufacturers' Association is planning a great industrial school, with many novel features, for dependent women, so that they may become self-supporting, and some Toronto women are about to establish a school of domestic science in Winnipeg.—New York Tribune. Methods of an English Cartoonist. F. Carruthers Gould, the celebrated cartoonist of the Westminster Gazette, has been giving some particulars regarding his system of work. "As a rule," he says, "when parliament is sitting, I get to the house of commons at 3:30 or 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and take up a position either in the gallery or the lobby—according to what is going on. I would go to the lobby if I wanted special details of an incident or portrait from a particular member. At about 7 o'clock I make my way out of the house with notes and rough outlines, and proceed to the National Liberal Club, where I prepare my drawings. An ordinary sketch takes me about twenty minutes." A single brewery in Munich uses 118 railway freight cars of its own, besides 28 belonging to the state.

Lent was a delegate sent from the farmers of Allegan County, Michigan, to Western Canada, to report on the prospects for successful settlement. His report is as follows: I went from Winnipeg to Edmonton, thence east one hundred miles by Vagon. I found the country in that vicinity a rich, black loam, varying from 12 inches to 3 feet deep; the crops are simply something enormous; wheat and oats by actual measurement often standing five feet in height. I have been a farmer for forty years, and consider myself a fair judge of the yield of grain, and I saw wheat that would yield 50 bushels per acre, and oats that would yield 100 bushels per acre; not one alone, but a good many. As for root crops and garden truck, in no country have I ever seen their equal for all kinds except corn and tomatoes; the nights being too cool for these to ripen well. As a stock country it has no equal. East of Edmonton, on the head waters of the Vermillion River, I saw hay meadows containing from 10 to 100 acres, the grass standing 4 feet high, and would often cut 3 to 4 tons to the acre. From Edmonton I passed through some fine locations, namely, Wetakwin, Lacombe and other points. From McLeod I went to Regina, thence to Prince Albert, 247 miles north of the main line. For the first fifty miles is fine farming country, but the next hundred miles is more of a stock country. Then at Saskatoon, Roshern and Duck Lake I found some very fine farming country, so good that I found a party of Americans from Minnesota buying land for themselves—one party buying 12 sections, and the other 20 sections of land for themselves, which they proposed to improve at once. I have traveled over twenty-three different States and Territories in our Union, and never in my life time have I ever seen such magnificent crops and especially as fine a stock country. When a man gets an invitation to a party, he begins to get a headache—racking his brain for an excuse to get out of going. How's This?

Some grocers say they don't keep Defiance Starch. This is because they have a stockhold of other brands containingately 12 oz. of a package, which they won't be able to sell first, because Defiance contains 16 oz. for the same money, so you want to be 12 oz. instead of 14 oz. for same money?

THE EXACT LOSS IS NOT YET KNOWN Detectives Have Made a Few Arrests, but Could Not Find a Trice of the Guilty Men — Different Stories as to the Amount of Money KANSAS CITY.—(Special.) The detective department is at sea regarding the bold holdup of Harry Chick's pool room at 907 Baltimore avenue. Practically the entire detective force are at work on the case, but members of the force say they have no clue whatever on which to work, and that they are at a loss which way to turn. The robbers, after they entered the alley back of Dixon's saloon, disappeared completely. The detectives made some arrests. One member of the department sent in a poor patent medicine vender who carried a valise big enough to hold the wealth of Monte Carlo. This made him appear suspicious in the detective's eyes. Detectives O'Hare and Winstead arrested Ambrose Baird, but he was released. Baird has been arrested charged with picking the pockets of street car conductors, and, as he hangs about Chick's place and answers in a general way the description given of one of the robbers, he was taken in. "Jimmie" Driscoll, who was one of the five men in the place at the time, and was slugged by one of the robbers, went to the station to see Baird, but could not identify him. Among the local sporting fraternity, the robbery is almost the sole topic of conversation. Gamblers as a class have more internecine troubles than a woman's club, and the Kansas City members of the profession are no exception to the rule. There are two factions among them, and the adherents of the faction friendly to Cal Morton were busy discussing the probability of the robbery having been the work of the opposing faction. Cal Morton, although he is said to have no actual interest in Chick's pool room, or Baltimore Telegraph Company, as it is called, has lent Chick money and is a friend of the latter. Just how much the money the robbers succeeded in getting the public will probably never know. Chick said that the condition of his books was such that he would be unable to tell exactly, but that he knew it was somewhere between $1,500 and $2,500. Members of the detective department said, however, that they did not be Have Chick lost more than $600, but those who are acquainted with the business say it would be a risky thing for a pool room to run with a margin of only $600. TEN DEAD IN A MINE. Firing of Unauthorized Shot in Indian Territory Shot Causes Explosion SOUTH 'MALESTER, I. T.—(Special) An unknown person probably fired an unauthorized shot in mine No. 9 of the Milby and Dow Mining Company at Dow, I. T. and ten miners in the bottom of the shaft perished, leaving no one to tell the story. The sound of the explosion brought prompt relief and the men were brought up. The explosion did not injure the shaft, which was a new one, and the fire was put out without doing damage. None of the ten dead men was burned. The natural conclusion is that the deaths were due to the after damp, the men perishing in the hydrogen and sulphuric acid gas after the oxygen had been consumed by the explosion. The ten men were developing the shaft and were down 240 feet. As the mine was not yet opened there was no fire inspector and experienced miners marvel that the gas should have accumulated in sufficient quantity to cause such a disastrous explosion. The condition of the mine indicates that the men might, had presence of mind been exercised, have made their escape, but the effect of the gas is said to be very much like laudanum, the victim being killed to a sense of security and satisfaction. There were twelve men working at the top of the shaft and as the machinery was not injured a man was promptly sent down to investigate. Quick work followed and the suffocated men were brought up as fast as their bodies could be found. The dead are as follows: Jack McCoy, W. F. Keith, B. F. Farhurst, E. M. Prichard, Berg Catlin, Joe Bemmas, Tom Blua, John Blua, M. Brown, John Beatal. BOISE, IOWA.—(Special.) Luella Hacker, employed in a laundry, caught her arm in a clothes wringer and it was torn from her shoulder, instantly killing her. Heart Disease Killed Both. CINCINNATI, O.—(Special.) Mrs. Edmund Bachus, living on the fourth floor of an Elm street flat, was taken suddenly ill with heart trouble. Dr. G. H. Thurman, who resides in the same neighborhood, was called, and hastened to her relief. She died just as the doctor entered the apartments, and the doctor died immediately on entering from exhaustion, as a result of climbing the three flights of stairs. Both were troubled with heart disease. Killed by Falling Beam SOUTH M'ALESTER, I. T.—(Special.) While the men in the employ of the Iron Bridge Construction Company, of Davenport, Iowa, were raising a heavy piece of bridge iron to its place it fell, killing one man and injuring five others. The accident occurred on the Choctaw branch, which is being built from Halleyville to Ardmore. Most people feel they are generous when they only do their duty to others. COLLISION IN CHICAGO. Two Pennsylvania Trains Come Together but Only Two Men are Injured. CHICAGO—(Special.) A fast Pennsylvania passenger train from New York crashed into the rear of another express from Cincinnati on the same system at the Baltimore & Ohio railroad crossing, near Forty-ninth street and Wentworth avenue. Two men, both train attaches, were seriously and perhaps fatally injured, and although the passengers on both trains were severely shaken up, no serious injuries were suffered. A possibly large loss of life was prevented by the fact that at the rear of the forward train was the enpty dining car Delmonico. The locomotive of the rear train plowed its way half through the length of this car. The cook, Robert Hatchen, was caught in the wreck and was terribly burned by the fire, which caught from the overturned stove in the kitchen. He probably will not recover. The other injured man was John Tuberdy, who jumped from the rear engine. He was badly cut and received internal injuries. William Wallace, engineer, jumped and escaped with slight bruises. No reason is given for Wallace's failure to stop his train in time to avoid the accident. GETS $15,000 BY FORGERY. Bought Government and Railroad Bonds With Borns, Certified Check. BOSTON — (Special). Despite the silence of the police it has become known that the bonds valued at $15,000 which were stolen recently were obtained from N. W. Hairy & Co. bankers, on a forged certified check on the National Shawmut bank. It is understood that Harris & Co., were called up by telephone by a man who gave the name of Bounce. He presented a check certified by the National Shawmut bank, asking that the bonds ten $1,000 government 4 per cent coupons due in 1925, and five $1,000 Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern $3½ coupons due July 1, 1925, be laid aside for him quickly. The cheek was accepted without question and the bonds delivered. At the bank both the signature and certification were declared to be forgeries and not clever at that. HE ESCAPED IN A BOX. Military Prisoner on Alcatraz Island Makes His War to San Francisco Makes His Way to San Francisco. SAN FRANCISCO, CAL.—(Special.) Frank Holt, a military prisoner on Alcatraz island serving a thirteen-year sentence for desertion, has escaped. He concealed himself in a large wooden box which was consigned to a clothing firm in this city and which was put aboard the steamer McDowell. The top of the box was so arranged with leather straps that it could be opened from the insula. It is thought that after the box was put aboard, Held crawled into it and did not emerge until the vessel reached the dock on this side of the bay. As Holt was dressed in a blue uniform, he walked as any other soldier, without detection. The police has arrested as an accomplice Edward P. Simmons, a soldier, who was released from Alcatraz about the time Holt escaped. DOES DOUBLE MURDER. Policeman Kills Wife and Mother-in-Law and Makes His Escape. NEW YORK.—(Special.) William H. Ennis, a Brooklyn policeman, shot and killed his wife and her mother, Mrs. Magee, at Mrs. Magee's home. Ennis escaped. The policeman had separated from his wife, and had refused to support her, and she had him arrested recently. He went to the house, and when admittance was refused him, he drew his revolver and, putting his shoulder to the door, burst it in. He ran up stairs to his wife's bed room and fired one shot at her, which pierced her heart. Her mother, who had heard the uproar ran to Mrs. Ennis' room. Ennis fired one shot at her and mortally wounded her. He then left the house, declaring that he would kill himself. Murder to Avenge an Insult. OKLAHOMA CITY. O. T.—(Special!)

SAILS FEB. 13 PRINCE HENRY WILL COME ON A PASSENGER VESSEL. THE EMPEROR'S YACHT TO FOLLOW Distinguished Men Will be in the Admiral's Suite—Hobenzollern Will Meet Imperial Party at New York and Royal Entertainment will be Lavish on Board Yacht—Germany Interested. BERLIN.—(Special.) Admiral Prince Henry, of Prussia, will be attended on his visit to the United States by Captains Schmidt, Von Schwindt and Von Egidy and by several high marine officers not yet selected. Captain Von Egidy is the son of Colonel Von Egidy, who, some years ago, resigned from the army for the purpose of devoting the remainder of his life to the work of uniting the Christian church of Germany into a creedless society. Prince Henry and his party will sail for New York about February 13 on a passenger steamer. The imperial yacht Hohencolllern will sail Saturday, January 18, or Sunday, January 19, touching at Gibraltar, the Cape de Verde Islands and the Island of St. Thomas. The yacht will be commanded by Admiral Count Von Baudissin, whose staff includes Captain Von Holleben, a kinsman of the German ambassador at Washington, and will be manned by her usual crew. The band of the Second naval division, which will be on board the Hohencolllern, is one of the two crack bands of the German navy. Dr. Hahn, Independent, speaking in the reichstag, said he hoped that when it came to a consideration of the commercial treaties, the United States would not be accorded and preferential treatment on account of the recent change of amenities between the emperor and President Roosevelt. The Lokal Anzeiger says that unofficial circles hold that Emperor William has shown, in Prince Henry's projected visit to the United States, a shrewd, delicate act of international courtesy. The Paris correspondent of the Lokal Anzeiger says official circles here interpret the prince's visit as new proof that the present grouping of the European states no longer corresponds with all the circumstances of welt politik (world policy), and narrow programs must widen. France, the correspondent adds, regards the possible rapprochement of the United States and Germany without jealousy, having guaranteed that this means nothing against France. The Southern course of the imperial yacht Hobenzollern on which she will touch at so many points, is because her coal bunkers are not constructed to carry coal for a long voyage. She will, therefore, cross the Atlantic at moderate speed. According to present arrangements Prince Henry will live on the Hohenzollern while at New York and will use the vessel for entertaining. Among the great provincial journals joining in pleasant comment on Prince Henry's projected visit to the United States is the Cologne Gazette, which says: "Emperor William, in ordering a racing yacht in 1901, wanted to show his special interest and faith in American shipbuilding which has attained, in a relatively short period of time, an uncommon degree of perfection, and now the sending of Prince Henry to the United States gives a fresh proof of how important Emperor William regards the maintenance and promotion of good relations with the United States. "Emperor William's efforts in this direction find a full understanding and a lively response among the German people." BIG HAVANA CONTRACT HAVANA.—(Special.) A contract for the sewing and paving of Havana for $10,649,000 has been signed by Mr. McGivney for McGivney and Rokeby, of Jersey City, and by Acting Mayor Latorre, for the city of Havana. Mr. McGivney has deposited a bond of $500,000. The contract provides that the work shall be finished within four years, and that it is to be begun within thirty days after the city notifies the contractors to begin. If notification to begin work is not given within sixty days, the firm of McGivney and Rokeby are to receive 3 per cent on the money deposited. The delay is due to the fact that the city has not yet provided means to raise the necessary funds. PHILADELPHIA—(Special).

Nethery ran out and Helmig attempted to assault him with his cane. Nethery drew his revolver and fired five times, every shot taking effect in Helmig's body. Nethery was arrested. INDIANAPOLIS, IND. — (Special). To Palmer Nobles, the 7-year-old son of Colonel C. H. Nobles, of the recruiting station, is due the credit of saving the lives of Theresa Webber and Mattie McCarty, two little girls, who broke through the ice on the pond in Military park. The little fellow heard the girls scream when they went through the ice, and, without hesitation, went to their assistance. The ice broke with him, but he managed to hold himself above water until aid arrived. Father, Mother and Five Children Persl at Buffalo. BUFFALO,—(Special.) Henry Pearlstein, his wife and five children, rang in age from $1½ to 12 years, were burned to death in a fire that destroyed a two-story frame building. Joseph Supowski, who owned the building, Karl Bracki, his brother-in-law, have been arrested, pending an investigation. Supowski carried an insurance of $9,000 on the building and its contents. The Pearlsteinis and another family lived in rooms above a shoe store and were asleep when the fire started. Supowski told the police that he accidentally dropped a lamp. A few minutes after the fire began there was a loud explosion that blew out the front of the store and hurled some of the contents of the windows into the middle of the street. Plate glass windows on the opposite side of Broadway were shattered and the report of the explosion was heard two blocks away. The flames enveloped the building in a short time. The family living in the rear flat escaped with their lives. The Pearlstein's were awakened, but before they could reach the only stairway leading from their rooms the fire had undermined the floor in the hallway, and it collapsed, carrying them down into a mass of flames. Their charred bodies were found four hours after the firemen had extinguished the flames. The body of the mother and baby were found together, the little one tightly clasped in its mother's arms. Pearlstein's body was found close to that of his wife. He also held one of the children in his arms. The bodies of the other three children were found huddled together close to the father's body.

Their brother James, aged 8, also went under the ice, but was rescued by men who were at work nearby. The home of the O'Haras is within sight of the river, and the mother of the children saw them sink under the ice. She ran screaming to the river bank and plunged in after them. The rescuers had hard work saving the lives of the mother and James. Martin and Mary were carried away by the swift current and their bodies have not yet been recovered. BECAUSE HE LOST HIS QUEQUE.

A human sacrificial offering was prevented by the timely arrival of some Sisters of Charity upon the scene in this city. Hy Wong, a paralytic Chinamen, who has been a county charge, was returned to the care of his countrymen in Chinatown. While he was an inmate of the county hospital his queue had been cut off. On this account, the Chinese made arrangements to offer him as a sacrifice to Joss. Hy Wong managed to get a message to the sisters at the hospital, and they rescued him before his life, like his queue, was cut short. It is claimed that all the preparations for Hy Wong's execution had been completed when the sisters arrived at the Joss house. FIRE IN A POWDER MILL. Two Men Killed and Two Injured at Clear Geld Pa.—Loss Was $40,000. CLEARFIELD, PA.—(Special.) The Rickeyte Non-explosive Powder Co.'s mill near here was destroyed by fire.

OTTAWA. — (Special). Five persons are now in jail charged with the murder of James Booth, the man who was found in an abandoned well in North Ottawa. They are Mrs Mary McCoy and her four children, the oldest daughter having been captured in Topeka by Sheriff Mendennall of Kansas City, Kas. Sheriff Costigan brought her to Ottawa and lodged her in jail pending the result of the coroner's jury. Circumstantial evidence is said to be very strong against the woman. Her name is Mrs. Marie Stanley. She and her husband have separated. Mrs. Stanley was put through a sweating process by the county attorney and, while her story is a remarkably straight one, the officers say the evidence is strongly against her. She went from here to Kansas City, Ksas., where she visited the family of her uncle, William Bendure, a painter and paper hanger. The latter was here and corroborated her story. She said she was in search of work and left for Topeka. After she had left, her uncle saw an Ottawa dispatch in an evening paper telling about the murder and informed Sheriff Mendenhall, who left for Topeka. He found the woman in a hotel in Topeka and notified the authorities here at once. During the conversation with the state's attorney, Mrs. Stanley told precisely the same story that her mother and others have told. A telephone message from Topeka, later in the day stated that a watch had been found in the room Mrs. Stanley occupied there. A description of the same indicates that it is Booth's watch. When confronted with this information, Mrs. Stanley hesitated and said Mr. Booth had given her the watch and that, in the excitement at Topeca, she must have forgotten it. Coroner Haggart examined the contents of Mrs. Stanley's grip and found a dress skirt with what appears to be blood stains on the front. The coroner, in company with Dr. F. C. Herr, will make a chemical analysis of the stains. It develops that Mrs. Stanley and her mother are not on good terms, and Mrs. Stanley stated to the correspondent for the Journal that they had frequently quarreled. She professed no fear of the result of the investigation, saying she had nothing to worry about. SAYS HE CAN CLEAR COLLINS. Tom Williams, Ex-Convict, Says he knew of a Plot to Kill the Topeka Man. EMORIPA.—(Special.) If a new trial is granted John Collins, who is serving a term in the penitentiary for the murder of his father, Tom Williams, a negro, raised and living in Emporia now, will provably be one of the principal witnesses. Williams has served three terms in prison. In talking about the murder to a reporter, Williams said: "If I am given a hearing I can clear John Collins. John is just as innocent of that murder as you are. It was Johnston Jordan who was the ring-leader in the plot, or some other negro, which worked out exactly as it was laid down to me before I went to the penitentiary." Williams says he was in a plot with several negroes to kill the senior Collins before the murder occurred. He was in the penitentiary at the time for attempting to kill an Emporia man. Williams said it was useless for him to offer testimony. Tom Williams is known to everyone in Emporia; he is unusually black, and when talking shuts one eye and jerks his words out like a typical tough. He is the sort of character that, if there was any killing to be done, was the man to talk to, and it developed in the Collins trial that he was implicated with the Topeka negroes. Wichita Telephone Troubles. WICHITA.—(Special.) The telephone situation in this city has become a serious problem since the Missouri and Kansas Company has been refused a new franchise. In order to stop the company from operating an ordinance has been passed by the city council prohibiting construction or repair work of any kind without a permit. There are at the present time about sixty 'phones out of order, but the company cannot procure the necessary permits to repair them, much less to put in new instruments. One of the managers said that if this state of affairs continues for another thirty days, the city will be without telephone service. OTTAWA, ONT.—(Special.)

Ottawa parties are now determined to investigate thoroughly. The drill is now down more than 1,100 feet, and the promoters say that they will keep it going. Atheno's Father is Dead.

ARKANSAS CITY.—(Special) There is a good sized muddle in Cowley county over the payment of the reward for the arrest and conviction of the murderer of C. L. Wiltberger. The county commissioners have paid the county's part, amounting oo $200, over to Cal Ferguson, a citizen of Winfield, Constable J. J. Breene, of Arkansas City, who made the arrest, claims one-half of the money. He actually arrested both Clyde Moore, who was convicted, and Charlie Betts, who was acquitted. L. C. Brown, Breene's attorney went before the probate court and made application for a restraining order to prevent the commissioners from paying the money over to Ferguson. The record of the county clerk was introduced and it showed that when the reward was offered, there was a peculiar clause in the proceedings, stating that the county commissioners should be the exclusive judges of who is to receive the reward. The probate judge after hearing this refused to interfere in the matter. Mr. Brown immediately filed a suit in the district court against Cowley county for $100, which Breene claims is rightfully his. There was altogether $900 offered for the arrest and conviction of the party or parties who killed Wilberger. It was divided as follows: Wilberger heirs, $500; state of Kansas, $200; county, $200. The Clyde Moore case will be appealed to the supreme court and the state and heirs are not trying to pay the reward, but will wait until the results of the appeal is known. ROCK ISLAND TRAINS COLLIDE Freight and Work Trains Wrecked at Pharmacy and Trusted Filled Okeene, O. T., and Two Killed. WICHITA. — (Special.) A freight train running twenty miles an hour on the Okeene, O. T., branch of the Rock Island road crashed into a work train which was standing on a sliding at Okeene at 6 o'clock in the morning and killed Bridge Foreman H. K. Bear, of this city, and Carpenter E. A. Colby, of Galva, Kan. The men in the work car were still asleep and were buried under the debris, which caught fire and threatened to roast every one of them. The crew of the freight train and some citizens by herculean efforts saved them. The injured are Brakeman Frank Hoop, Foreman James Casey and Engineer John eaton, of the freight train, and four men on the work train named Mitchell, Jackson, Burk and Potter, None of them is injured fatally. The cause of the wreck was the malicious breaking of a switchlock and the throwing of the switch by some unknown person. H. K. Bear, the dead foreman, had a half interest in the drug store of C. L. Lease, of this city, the husband of Mary E. Lease. The body was brought here. UNITED AFTER FIFTY YEARS Allen O. Morgan, of Burlingame, Kas. Nodie Hs. Smith, Snohoutst Weds His Youth's Sweetheart. ZANESVILLE, O.—(Special.) A romantic wedding took place in this city when Mrs. Sarah Tipton, of Zanesville, and Allen O. Morgan, of Burlingame, Kas., married at the home of the bride. They were both past 72 years old, and the groom had been married once and the bride twice. They grew up together in this county and were sweet-hearts in their younger days and were engaged to marry, but quarreled the day before the wedding was to have taken place and young Morgan went to Kansas. They each married and when her husband died she took for a second husband a Mr. Tipton, who was a brother to her youthful lover's wife. This made the principals in this wedding, brother-in-law and sister-in-law and the friendship of long ago was soon restored. When death recently claimed Mrs. Morgan and Mr. Tipton, the bereaved widower and widow found consolation in each other's company. This rapidly ripened into courtship which consummated in the reuniting of two hearts to a asunder more than fifty years ago by a young lover's hasty quarrel. K. S. U. ALUMNI MEET.

Which the Doctors Failed to Cure or Understand. A Medical man as a rule dislikes to acknowledge the value of a proprietary medicine—in fact, professional etiquette debars him from doing so. Yet there are many eminent physicians those most advanced in their professions, who give full credit to the great curative properties of Vogeler's Curative Compound, from the fact that it is manufactured by an old and reliable company, proprietors of St. Jacob's Old from the formula of a brother physician, who to-day stands in the front ranks of the most eminent medical men in London, and on account of its intrinsic merit, it is largely prescribed by the medical profession; but, in the case which we are about to relate, the attending physician called it "rubbish," but, as it turned out, Mrs. Nettleton tells the doctor that "rubbish or not, saved her life." Mrs. Nettleton graphically relates the particulars of her own case, which will doubtless be of interest to many of our lady readers: "I had been an intense sufferer for many years from dyspepsia, liver and kidney troubles, when a little pamphlet was placed in my hands, and although at that time I had been bedridden for more than six months, I determined, after reading some of the wonderful testimonials thereof in case similar to mine, which had been completely cured by the timely use of Vogeler's Curative Compound, to try some, especially as my doctors failed to even benefit me, and I had almost given up all hope of ever being well again. It is most interesting, and, in fact, marvelous to relate, that the very first dose of fifteen drops relieved me. It was not long before I was able to get up and about; three months from taking the first dose I was enjoying better health than I had been for fourteen years. I continued well until a few months back, when I was taken again, my troubles by dyspepsia and constipation. I had a doctor attending me for a month, but continued to grow worse, until I again found myself bedridden, when I bethought myself of my old medicine, Vogeler's Curative Compound, which I immediately sent for and took in place of the doctor's medicine; at that time I had not had a movement of the bowels for five days, but Vogeler's Curative Compound soon put me on my feet again—in fact, completely cured me a second time, but, of course, this attack was not as bad as the first, yet I fully believe I should not have been alive today had it not been for Vogeler's Curative Compound. If I had only thought to have taken it when my last illness took place, I should not only have been saved much suffering, but a $15 doctor's bill." Mrs. Nettleton said: "I have recommended Vogeler's Curative Compound for indigestion and eczema, and in every case it has proved a cure beyond a doubt. Mr. Swinbank, our chemist, has sent me the names of no end of people who have been cured by Vogeler's Curative Compound. By the way the proprietors have so much confidence in this great London physician's discovery, that they will send a sample free to any person sending name and address and naming this paper." St. Jacob's Oil Co, 205 Clay Street, Baltimore, Md. Mrs. Nettleton is a confectioner, in the Brighton Road, where she has been established many years, and is honored and respected by all classes. Her statements as regards Vogeler's Curative Compound may, therefore, be regarded as reliable evidence of its great value. The public, however, may look upon this remarkable statement as one of the many which we are constantly receiving from grateful people all over the world, who have been cured of various maladies by the use of this wonderful remedy, which is the result of an eminent physician's life-long experience. These people are nearly always representative and well-known citizens. Manchuria a Russian Possession. William Penn Henley of California, who recently returned from the orient, says concerning the attitude of Russia toward Manchuria: "Manchuria is as surely a Russian possession as the District of Columbia is under the control of Uncle Sam. The agents of the Czar are now collecting taxes, percentage from the gross incomes of mines, and no one but a Russian subject can own or lay claim to a foot of Manchurian soil."—Washington Star. A. Quiet Senator. By all odds the quietest man in the United States senate is Mr. Simon of Oregon, who never makes a speech or enters into debate. He is the smallest man physically in that august body, is always found in his seat, spends his time reading or writing and always votes with the republican leaders.—Chicago Chronicle. Rich Man Should Spend More Rich Men Should Spend Money. A friend of William C. Whitney the other day spoke of the latter gentleman's lavish style of entertainment. "I have the money and can afford the expenditure. It is the duty of every rich man to spend as much as he can afford, and that is my way of helping those less fortunate than myself. Better give employment than give alms." The Musical Voice The Vocal Physiologist says: "Most money is thrown away on the education of the human voice than on the support of the government. Of every 10,000 voices one may be listened to without pain; of every 100,000 voices one may be listened to with patience; of every 1,000,000 voices one may be listened to with satisfaction; of every 10,000,000 voices one may be listened to with sensations of joy."
