Few of us notice young men while they are climbing. They work along quietly, but steadily. Their names are seldom seen in the papers and outside of the sense of their daily duties, their exist is almost unsuspected. Suddenly an opening appear and they come forward with a rush that surprises even the friends from boyhood. They fit into their new work as singly as a glove fits the hand. Everybody is proud to enjoy their acquaintance and try to remember incidents of the days of patient plodding and boasts of the services they sender in bringing out the boy's native genius. It is nice to be successful. As a matter facts rises are not spontaneous. These young men attain the heights by working diligently and prayerfully. Ex. It is rumored that former Congressman George H.

County of Wyandotte. 88 ■ The State of Kansas to all Persons to Whom These Presents Shall Com Greeting: KNOW YE, that, whereas Clara Sundergee late of the county of Wyandotte, died intestate, having at the time of her death, property in this State which may be lost or destroyed, or diminished in value if speedy care be not taken of the same; to the end, therefore, that said property may be collected, preserved and disposed of according to law, we do hereby appoint Peter C. Young Administrator of all and singular the goods, chatters rights and credits which were of the said Clara Sundergee at the time of her death, with full power and authority to secure and dispose of and property according to law, and collect all monee's due said deceased, and in general to do and perform all other acts and things which are, or may hereditary be, required by law. In Les Meres' Whereof, I, K. Snyder, Judge of the Pronate Court in and for the County of Wyandotte, foresid, have hereunto signed my name and affixed the seal [SEAL] of said Court, at office this 5th day, of February 1903. Rev.

Gounod's Lost operas new people are aware that Gounoo once, in a moment of anger, tore up the manuscript of an opera he had composed, and, though he afterwards opened of his action, he was quite unable to recall its melodies. Gounod's opera "Faust" was nearly lost to the world by the religious scruples of the great composer About the time he wrote it he determined henceforth only to write sacred music, but, happily for posterity, he thought better of his resolution. THE AMERICAN CITIZEN. VOTE FOR I. B. BLACKBURN. To the Voters of the third ward we appeal to you in behalf of a man whose perseverance is worthy of the highest commendation, a man who can fill the Aldermanchein chain with as much dignity and manhood as any one else, a man who is eminently fitted as well as highly deserving. We ask you to stop and consider, put aside any personal feeling, and take a sensible view of things, then cast your vote for I. B. Blackburn for the nomination of councilman of the third ward. Its up to all true Citizens to stand up for right and justice. It is especially up to the Negro to stand up, for the race. I.B. Blackburn is the entitled candidate for the consideration of the colored voters. By gones must be by gones, and petty jealousies must be laid aside. Let us consolidate on one man and that man, be I. B. Blackburn. The time is right here, that unless we stand up for our own in good faith we must take a back seat. It doesn't matter if you have voted a hundred times for a man and he is defeated. If he is willing and sincere always be ready to try again, that's white men the world over. Remember that the vote of your wife, mother, sweet-hearts or sister counts, see that they are allowed to vote. This question, large as it is, seldom enters the fertile brain of the Negro, old or young. It is a question almost unanswerable, one which may be answered in a dozen different ways, but the real answer is yet to be found Some say "We are educated to be prepared, when thrown on the world, to earn a honest living." That is true, but there is something yet lacking; not everbody who is or has been educated puts it to that use. Then, why are the educated? The Negro does not realize the full meaning of education. The public schools which we attend furnish us with a book educations the Industrial institutes furnish us with an education of our hands and brains; but why? Is it simply so that you can say that I am a graduate of some large institution, inhabit the lowest dens frequented by the lowest of mankind? No, it is to shape your future, fit yourself so that you may stand beside your white brother in any establishment and meet the stern duties of life. Parents must take hold of this question, take their children into their confidence and tell them of the danger and pitfalls in their way. If they do not this selfish, wicked world most certainly will. The time has come when the question of education must be taken up in our nest and viewed in a broader sense. FOR PERUSAL DURING IDLE MOMENTS There are 3,433 colored persons in the United States who are first class type writers. There are 7,496 men in the United States who are first class engineers. There are 1,322 colored persons in the United States who are in the undertaking business. There are now in the United States 430,000 colored persons engaged in the laundry business. There are 5,975 stores in the United States that are owned and managed by the colored people.—Colored American. Geo. Dixon the ex-champion light weight pupilist, was knocked out at Baltimore by Eddie Lennie. The saving bank deposits in the United States have increased from $3,973,304 in 1830 to $2,597,004,580 in 1891.

In evidence of the progress made by the Negro race since the amnicipation of Prof. Booker T. Washington is attent to the fact that the Negroes of this country own school property to the amount of $12000,000; their church property is raised at $37,000,000; they own 130,000 farms valued at $400,000,000, and the homes not on farms owned by the Negro save worth $325,000,000. He gave the value of their personal property as $165,000,000. There 800 colored physicians and 500 lawyers. There have been 1500 books written by colorful authors.—E terprize From exchange it is learned that an Italian bootleak in a New York town was recently fixed $200 for refusing to black the shoes of a Negro on the grounds of his color.

NEGROES IN THE CITIES The colored population of Kansas City has not kept pace with the whites according to the census figures. The town is now credited with 31,633 Negroes, as compared with 27,769 in 1890. The gain is 13.92 per cent. For the same period the whole population of K. C. increased 23.39 per cent. Relatively the Negroes have lost in standing. There figures do not include K.C.K. At the mouth of the Kaw there must be more Negroes than in St. Louis, where the colored population is put at about 35,000. Washington retains its rank as the first NEGro bity in the U. S, with 86,000 blacks. It offers to the Negro the advantages of Northern liberality of treatment with a Southern climate. Besides, there are government positions to add to its attractions. Baltimore rank next to Washington with 79,000 Negroes. As it is nearly twice as large as the national capital, proportion of negro population is far smaller. The gentle city of Philadelphia seems to hold out many attractionsto the Negro. Its colored population increase 58 per cent from 1800 to 1900 and now numbers 62,000. Washington's gain was only 11,000 to Philadelphia's 21,000. If this rate of increase continues the Quaker City within a few years will outrank Washington. In several Southern cities the Negroes are about as numerous as the whites. This is the case in Vicksburg, Memphis Charleston, Savannah, Montgomery, Mobile, Wilmington and Baton Rouge. Booker T. Washington believes it would be better for the Negro to remain on the where the competition is not so severe or the temptations so alluring as in the city. But the urban centers seem to be as attracting to the young Negroes as to the young whites.—K. C. Star. APR AMERICAN THOUGHT The true end of education should be to educate or train the nural im-pulses which are bad and to fortify those which are good. The negro problem is sill to the front for consideration and every theory suggested as a solution seems to go wide if the mark Every year is a page in lif's constantly gathering history. What is the character of the page just closed? H is impossible that a man should be consecrated in spirit and not be consecrated in time, service and pocket book. It will interest our reader, we are sure to know that very recent the editor of the Pall Mall Gazette, of London, one of the most influential newspapers in Europe, made Principal Washington an offer of $150,000 per four thousand words for a character sketch of a leading American personage, the article to be as long as he cared to have it.

Wonder what he was doing at 3rd and Oakland Sunday. Wonder when pretty T. and the Oklahoma belle will make it. How are you captain I was so alarmed about your condition. She begged him to come back so she could talk to him more—poor girl. They certainly believe they are all of it—but—there are still others.

This assurance of these business establishments alone shone warrant us in giving them our unstinted patronage. As he arrived at 1512 N. 5th st., there he found a well equipped and well established Negro drug store with a brilliant young man filling prescriptions as sent in by our corp of Negro physicians, encouraged beyond measure what else could he be at the sight of so many young men and women finding employment at the hands of the race. Going to 4th and Oakland another grocery store loomed into sight, with more employed. On arriving back at this office he found a young man and lady employed he was overjyed to such an extent we are unable to say when he will be at himself. TIME KILLING IN SOCIETY Typical Modern House Party on a Scrabble Estate. I am sure our house party must be a success. The royalty, it is true, is an obscure scion of a German family, and his name looks more imposing in print than the owner does at breakfast. However, that is a detail. The fact remains that we are a typical modern house party, sumptuously lodged and fed by a typical modern millionaire. Everything in the house is luxurious. The morning tea is served up on priceless Sevres; we awake to the strains of the baggies; the breakfast table is laden with every delicacy; at lunch, when we join the shooters, a hot meal appears miraculously on the heather; the finest grouse moor, the best deer forest, and a magnificent salmon river all appear to be at hand. Carlton has brought down seven stags to his own rife in four days, and landed, according to the gillee's account, the biggest fish of the century, and I am the proudest of wives.

For our host is a patron of the arts, and to what more delightful use can money be put than that of encouraging talent and being able to gratify one's taste for it in one's own house? The Grand Duke encores throughout the performance; the cabinet minister keeps time with his foot, and at the close of the "Kreutzer Sonata" asks for Scottish airs. The celebrated beauties make herole onslaughts on the eligible parts, who show distinct signs of following the Grand Duke's example.

Under all the calls from 1841 to 1865 the Kansas quota was 12,832. The actual number of volunteers furnished was 21,806, or 8,875 in excess of her just proportion.

It is, therefore, permissible to catch any kind of fish in any way at any time if you can. At the twenty-ninth commencement of the University of Kansas degrees were granted to all. The graduates from the Schoe numbered 113. Part of the Brain That Keeps Names An Austrian savant has declared that the human brain contains a "name center." He says that it is the office of this cell to retain names. A striking case which would seem to confirm this theory recently occurred at Cleveland. A brakeman was shot by a conductor, and the former could not remember the names of persons and things, although he could perfectly well describe the functions of all articles exhibited to him. A surgeon probed for the buillet and found it in the exact spot necessary to affect the remembrance of names, according to the Austrian's theory. When the pressure of the brain had been relieved the patient remembered names as well as he had done before his injury, and told the name of his assailant.—Scientific American The clock on the Philadelphia city hall is the highest in the world. It has the largest dials. If the dials were out of the way and tracks were laid, two trains could pass each other running through the holes. The glass in the four faces is fastened there by a ton of cement. The glass, if laid on the ground, would make a walk a square long and ten feet wide. The minute hand will finish its year's journey by completing a 110-mile trip on New Year's day. It is expected that this minute hand will travel 110 miles annually for many years to come. The clock is strong, and the minute hand is phosphor bronze, and weighs 250 pounds. In 1893 three Irishmen agreed to undertake a journey around the earth on foot for a jackpot of $150,000. Each one of the party deposited one-third of this sum in the Bank of Dublin, and it was agreed that whoever survived the trip and returned should receive the whole amount. In case all died a Dublin hospital was to become the beneficiary. On Dec. 24, 1895, they started east across Europe and Asia Minor to Egypt, where they took passage for Australia. Their wanderings through the inner wastes of Australia proved the hardest trials of the journey, and the severity of this trip resulted in the death of two of the travelers. The third, Capt. Trevelyan, completed the voyage and won the money. -New York Press. One hundred years ago it was considered a wonderful achievement for ten men to manufacture 48,000 pins in a day. Now three men can make 7,500,000 in the same time. Eating twelve mince pies between Christmas day and Twelfth day is said to insure the eater twelve lucky or happy months during the following year.

There are now fifteen independent colored churches in Boston, where thirty years ago it was difficult to support one. The colored people are not crowded out by the white churcher, although very few attend them now, but they prefer to worship by themselves. One reason for this is that education has fitted more colored people to be leaders of tlir own people, and pastors of their own churches With the object of encouraging agriculture in the Soudan the British government has tentatively begun to purchase the crops raised by the fellahs. 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 Soudan. Encl 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 envelop 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 Triet, at present used as a barkresses, contains some very fine frescoes and wall paintings made when the Cardinal von Cles occupied the palace as bishop of the see. They dae from 1530 to 1535. Three famous Italian artists were summoned to Cles to beautify the castle—Dosso Dos, from Ferrara; Romanino, from Brescia, and Figolino, from Viena a. Much of Dosso's work is visible, but part has been unfortunately whitewashed over. Ths works are now to be resued as inr as possible from destruction. Gounod's lost Opera Few people are aware that Goundon once, in a moment of anger, tore up the manuscript of an opera he had composed, and, though he afterwards repented of his action, he was quite unable to recall its melodies. Goundon's opera "Faust" was nearly lost to the world by the religious scruples of the great composer. About the time he wrote it he determined henceforth only to write sacred music, but, happily for posterity, he thought better of his resolution. Rare Old Bible Found. A wonderful old Bible has just been discovered in Venice, the fortunate finder being Leo S. Olschik, a well-known antiquarian of Florence. It is in five large volumes, and was printed in Rome in the printing house of Don Pietro Massimo in 1471 and 1472. Soon after it came from the press it was purchased by a patrician family of Venice, and it was in the archives of this family that Olschik discovered it A Czar's Novel Visiting Card. From the Ladies' Home Journal: The Russians tell a story of the late Czar Alexander Ilt. that upon the care occasions when it was incumbent upon him to pay a call he would take a gold coin hearing his "image and superscription" and twisting it between thumb and finger leave it in lieu of card—the only man in Russia who had strength for the feat. American Bottles the Best American bottles are preferred to all others for the export trade, and especially in warm climates where American and English goods come into close competition. American glass is said to stand tropical climates better than the English, the reason being that it is better annealed. Transvaal Minerals. The Transvaal is the richest country in the world so far as minerals are concerned. In 1877 England annexed the Transvaal, but evacuated it in 1881. In 1848 England conquered and annexed the Orange Free State, but evacuated it six years later. Boer Horses Well Trained. The Boer horses are remarkably well-trained animals, and when the Transvalers desire to form an ambush or firing line, their horses are taught to remain stationary as soon as they feel the reins dropped over their necks.

Clarke, the new president of Lincoln institute, at Jefferson City, who has just entered upon the discourse of his duties is well known at the state capital. He was graduated from the school of which he is now the head, and some years he was a member of its faculty. "Professor Clark is a man of middle age and is a thorough type of the college mar," is writer in the Tribune says. "He was born in the president's house in the college campus of Wilberforce university, which school was founded by his grandfather, Bishop Payne, in 1856. His father and mother both attended this school Ohio before the war, and both taught in the school. His primary education was all received at his mother's knee, and entered at the 10 of the preparatory course of the university. He graduated, B. A. with bighers honors in 1881, and became principle of the high school in Evansville, Ind., at the age of 21, having under his charge 600 students and a corps of thirteen teachers. In this position he remained eight years, being the only colored man in the state of Indiana to hold a state certificate. He also holds five certificates in the cities of Louisville and St. Louis." Had Seen It Before Dr. C. W. C. Cawford, manager of the Grand Opera House at Spencer, Iowa touches for this: At a recent performance at this theater an over-dresses woman, after rustling ostentatious, into her seat, finally composed herself and looked at her programme. Opening it at the second page of the bill she saw in prominent letters, "Synop sis," which she mispronounced in a audible tone, "Shawli" she remarked turning to her companion, "we've seen this here play before; let's go home. But after a whisle objection on the part of her friend, who probably ex plained her mistake to her, she shetled back in her seat apparently some what discomfited.—New York Clipper.

WAIT FOR "Haunted By A Shadow,' Played By the Olympia Club. Thursday, Feb. 27 1902. The Teacher Failed. In a school for colored children there was a little boy who would persist in saying "have went." The teacher kept him in one night and said: "Now, while I am out of the room you may write 'have gone' fifty times." When the teacher came back he looked at the boy's paper and found the task completed. Fifty times had the little darky written the words "have gone." But alas, upon the other side of the paper was written, "I have went home." Faith and Works. One day recently a Berkeley student in one of Professor L. Dupont Style's classes came into the recitation room so late that the English teacher made a mild remonstrance at the extreme tardiness of the young man. "Professor," replied the young fellow in excercising himself, "my watch was slow. I shall have no faith in it after this." "My dear fellow," said Style, "what you need is not faith, but works."

"Well, you have your farm and your stock—to say nothing of stocks," retorted the friend.

Arizona's Application for Statehood. The application of Arizona for admission to the rights of statehood is based less upon its growth in population than in wealth and manufactures. By the census of 1870 the investment in manufactures in Arizona was only $150,000. In 1880 it was $270,000. In 1890 $615,000, and last year $10,100,000. A STRONG NOTREMENT Star, Wis. Feb. 10th.—Mr. Samuel S. Hook, one of the most highly respected residents of this neighborhood, has given a very hearty recommendation to Dodd's Kidney Pills, a remedy recently introduced here. He says: "I have been a sufferer from Kidney Disease for some time and found nothing to help me till I began to use Dodd's Kidney Pills. They gave me almost immediate relief, and I am now well. I have recommended them to many friends and in every case with splendid results. "They are the very best pills for all kinds of aliments, but especially for Kidney Complaints." This is a very strong statement, and coming from a gentleman of Mr. Hook's standing and reputation, it has had a tremendous influence in Vernon county. The hot-headed man burns his fingers every time he attempts to warm his hands. THE KANSAS PEOPLE ARE IN LOVE WITH WESTERN CANADA. They Say the Land There Is the Finess on Earth. A great number of delegates have been influenced through the agency of Mr. J. S. Crawford, the Canadian government representative at Kansas City, to visit western Canada, and whether from Missouri or Kansas the story is always the same—the they are pleased with the new country being opened up. Isaac H. Levagood writes from Didsbury, Alberta, as follows: I met three delegates from Kansas yesterday at Didsbury, and took them home with me and took them out in the afternoon and showed them some of the finest land that lays on top of God's green earth. They are more than pleased with this country. They stayed with me last night; this morning I took them to Didsbury, and they went on north. When they come back they are coming to my place and I am going to help them to run some dines and they are going to locate in sight of my house. There have been over 1,200 acres of land changed hands here in our neighborhood this spring. When I located here last fall I was the furthest back of any of the setters; to day I am in the center of the settlement. We have thirty-six children that are of school age in our district, and we will have our school district organized next month, when we will proceed to build our schoolhouse. The longer we stay here the better we like the country; that is the way with everybody here, they all seem to be satisfied and doing well. I have talked with a great many men here and they told me that they had less than $50 when they got here, and today they have got 160 acres of good land and five or six hundred dollars' worth of stock. Crops are looking fine here. I think this will be a good winter winten country. One of my neighbors has a small piece and it looks fine. $3.00 W.I.DOUGLAS SHOES $3.50 UNION MADE W.I.DOUGLAS $3.50 SHOES ARE THE BEST IN THE WORLD FOR MEN THE WORLD GREATEST SHOE MAKER Sold by W.I.Douglas Stores and the best shoe dealers everywhere.

HABEAS CORPUS WRIT IS CRANTED Volunteers Cannot be Tried By Regular Soldiers—Decision Affects Something Like 200 Military Prisoners, All of Whom Are Likely to Get Their Freedom—The Deming Case ST. LOUISE.—(Special.) Established precedents in the United States army were overthrown and the freedom of nearly 200 men now confined in federal penitentiaries was assured by a decision rendered by the United States circuit court of appeals in the case of Peter C. Deming, a former captain of United States volunteers, against Robert McClaughry, warden of the federal penitentiary at Fort Leavenworth. Deming was imprisoned under sentence of a court martial composed of nine regular army officers, convened by General Shafter on March 29, 1900. The opinion of the circuit court, written by Judge Walter H. Sanborn, is that the court-martial that sentenced Deming in violation of article 77 of the articles of war, which provides that officers of the regular army shall not be competent to sit on courts-martial for the trial of officers and soldiers of other forces. The essential question as stated in Judge Sanborn's opinion is whether the volunteer army is the same as the regular army, or whether it is one of the "other forces" mentioned in article 77. The opinion establishes the fact that the volunteer army is at all t times distinct from the regular army. Deming will be released from Fort Leavenworth penitentiary within sixty days, and all other former members of the volunteer army who are confined in federal prisons on sentences inflicted by courts-martial of regular officers will also be liberated as the result of this decision, it is stated. F. A. Rozier, United States district attorney, estimates the number of such cases at 200. Deming was a captain in the subsistence department of the volunteer army. He was commissioned under the act of 1839 providing for the enlistment of soldiers for the Philippine war. The charge against him related to his accusers. The court-martial, composed of nir officers of the regular army, dismissed Deming from the service and sentenced him to three years in the penitentiary. This sentence was affirmed by the secretary of war and approved by the President. LEAVENWORTH, KAN.—(Special). Captain Denning, through his attorneys, Atwood & Hooper, of Leavenworth, applied for a writ of habeas corpus in the federal court at Leavenworth last October. The application was argued before Judge Hook, who refused to give a verdict, stating that the case was so important and contained so many novel features that he did not care to pass upon it. Messrs. Atwood and Hooper then appealed the case to the United States circuit court of appeals at St. Louis, and the application was argued before Judges Thayer, Caldwell and Sanborn. General Enoch E. Crowder, one of the ablest military attorneys in the country, was employed by the government to take charge of the case, and he was assisted by a number of the members of the judge advocate general's office and the entire corps of the United States District attorney's office at St. Louis. Judge Hook, of the federal court here, is expected home from Mexico, and when he arrives the writ for Captain Dening's release will be immediately issued, in compliance to the order of the St. Louis court. Should Judge Hook not arrive soon, Messrs. Atwood and Thayer will seek to have Judge Thayer, of St. Louis, issue the writ for Deming's release. Captain Deming was received at the federal prison at Fort Leavenworth on June 23, 1900, and on good behavior his sentence would have expired in December of this year. Captain Deming was overjoyed at the news received as to his prospective release. They Fought to the Death. CHEYENNE, WYO—(Special.)

One was killed, the car was smashed into splinters and Edgar Boise, the owner of the animals, lost $1,500, the value of his horse. Two keepers in charge of the animals had to climb outside to escape the hoops and teeth of the infuriated animals. When they succeeded in apprising the trainmen of the battle, a sidetrack was reached and every effort made to separate the animals, out finally one severed the jugular of his rival, which bled to death. The fellow who follows the races seldom catches up. Barber Dying—Hair in His Lungs. WABASH, IND.—(Special). Andrew Teter, a barber at Akon, is dying from a peculiar cause. He has followed his trade for years, and some time ago his lungs became affected.

FORTY-SEVEN FAMILIES BURGER OUT Varsity Flat Building in Chicago Destrived by Fire. CHICAGO.—(Special.) The Varsity flat building, situated at the southeast corner of Sixteenth street and Ellis avenue, was completely destroyed by fire, entailing an aggregate loss upon the owner of the structure and the tenants of $160,000. The building was four stories high and contained forty-seven flats, all of which were occupied. All the tenants had ample time to escape, however, and no lives were lost. The fire started in the basement in a pile of rubbish and for a time it was impossible to locate the blaze. The building became so filled with smoke, however, that everybody was out before the flames were discovered. During the fire an explosion of gasoline in a grocery store located in the building hurled Fireman James Dillman from the fire escape on the second story to the ground, breaking his thigh and injuring him internally. Robert Hartley, another fireman was thrown from a window in the second story and his head badly cut. He was also badly burned by the explosion. Policeman John Coate, who was in the grocery at the time of the explosion, was thrown down and badly burned about the face. The building was owned by Thomas Burns, of this city, and was fully covered, by insurance. FOUR DEAD IN A COLLISION Freight Trains Meet Head-On on the Rio Grand, in Utah GRAND JUNCTION, COLO.—(Special.) Three men were killed in a head-on collision between freight trains on the Rio Grande Western near Cisco, Utah, fifty-six miles west of Grand Junction. The killed are: William Webster, conductor; William Tuskey, engineer; Daniel Buckley, brakeman. The injured: John Raglan, conductor. These men all lived in Grand Junction. The accident is believed to have been caused by the train dispatcher giving wrong orders to the east bound train, it appears that the east-bound freight had orders to meet the second section of west bound freight No. 17 at Cisco, nothing being said about he first section. Both trains were bowling along at high rate of speed and the impact was terrific. The engines were reduced to a heap of broken iron and twisted rods. Half a dozen cars or more of each train were demolished. Webster, Tuskey and Buckley were crushed and scaled to death. A Ship Burned at Sea. CAPE MAY, N. J.—(Special.) A three-masted schooner, the name of which has not been learned, was burned at sea. The fire, which was plainly visible from here, started about 5 o'clock p. m. and burned until after 9 o'clock. The schooner came to a point about six miles off shore in a northeast direction from Cape May lighthouse and was caught in the ice fields floating out of Delaware bay. As soon as the crews of the lifesaving stations at Cape May Point, Cold Spring and Turtle Gut Inlet saw the fire they manned their yawls and attempted to go to the rescue of the sailors on the schooner. Ice prevented the crews from reaching the schooner, but it is believed, from what can be seen through glasses, that the men are in their small boats floating around in the ice waiting for assistance. Up to the time darkness covered teh ocean no big craft which could have renewed assistance was seen within two miles of the burning vessel. The vessel seems to be burned to the water line. Quick Silver in the Well. PITTSBURG, PA.—(Special) John Zaginski, a wealthy Pole of Homestead, and his three children, aged from 3 to 9 years, are dangerously ill from the effects of drinking water from a well alleged to have been poisoned with quicksilver. Zaginski alleges it was spitework. There are two artesian wells on his property and it has been customary for the neighbors to draw their drinking water from them. Recently one of the pumps was broken by an unknown party and Zaginski placed a lock on the other. He alleges that a neighbor woman demanded the key and upon his refusal to let her have it she threatened to "fix" him by putting quicksilver in the liver. When the water was pumped out this morning quicksilver was discovered. The physicians say Zaginski may recover, but that the children will die. BRIEF BITS OF NEWS.

The minute there is any trouble, nothing but an operation will do them; one hundred dollars and costs, and included in the costs are pain, and agony, and often death. "I suffered for eight years with ovarian troubles; spent hundreds of dollars for relief, until two doctors agreed that an operation was my only chance of life. My sister had been using Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for her troubles, and been cured, and she strongly urged me to let the doctors go and try the Compound. I did so as a last resort; used it faithfully with the Sanative Wash for five months, and was rejoiced to find that my troubles were over and my health restored. If women would only try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound first, fewer surgical operations would occur."—Mrs. L. A. HARRIS, 278 East 31st St., Chicago, Ill. When women are troubled with irregular, suppressed or painful menstruation, weakness, leucorrhea, displacement or ulceration of the womb, that bearing-down feeling, inflammation of the ovaries, backache, bloating (or fatulence), general debility, indigestion, and nervous prostration, or are beset with such symptoms as dizziness, faintness, lassitude, excitability, irritability, nervousness, sleeplessness, melanolehy, "all-gone" and "want-to-be-leaf-alone" feelings, blues, and hopelessness, they should remember there is one tried and true remedy.

ONE MAN IS MORTALLY WOUNDED Battle With Winchester Between Guarde and Squatters—Claimant to "the District of Lake Michigan" Resists Encroachment of Property Owners Along Lake Side —Fighters in Jail. CHICAGO. — (Special.) During a fight with Winchester rifles between the followers of rival claimants to property lying along the Lake Shore drive, the most aristocratic boulevard in Chicago, Frank Kirk, a watchman for one of the Claimants, was shot through the head, receiving a mortal wound. The property in dispute consists of made land lying east of the Lake Shore drive and between it and Lake Michigan. Captain George W. Streeter, who has for many years been a thorn in the side of North side property owners, because of his propensity to settle on vacant ground and then claim in the courts the rights of a squatter, has erected several small shanties on this ground and claims that inasmuch as it was not originally included in the government survey of the state of Illinois, it does not belong to the state, but was public property open to settlement. He claims to be the first settler and calls the ground "the district of Lake Michigan," and denies that the officials of the city of Chicago or the state of Illinois have any rights upon it. Between Streeter and his son, and the watchmen employed by the property owners along the Lake Shore drive there have been frequent fights. Henry Cooper, a lawyer who has been active in his opposition to Streeter, accompanied by; Policeman O'Malley, went upon the ground of the "district" and was attacked by Streeter, who knocked him down with the butt of a revolver. Several of Streeter's followers covered O'Malley with their weapons and he was ordered to leave pr be shot. Shortly after Cooper and O'Malley had left the ground a pitched battle out between three of Streeter's followers, William McManners, William Blocki and John Holdeldt, and two watchmen employed by Cooper, Frank Kirk and Samuel Portorous. Kirk and Portorous were standing just outside a small shanty of their own, and one of the first shots struck Kirk in the top of the head. Portorous entered the shanty and returned the fire of the Streeter men with a Winchester. A riot call was hastily sent to the East Chicago avenue police station and a wagon filled with officers under the command of Captain Revoc was sent on the run toward the place. When the officers arrived Kirk's body lay in the snow outside his shanty while from a window Portorous kept up a steady fire upon the three men in the other house, who were returning his fire with all the speed with which they could work their rifles. The firing ceased as the police appeared, and a cordon of officers was at once thrown around the shanty in which McManners, Blocki and Hoeldtke were. They haricarded the door and threatened to kill the first officer who approached. Headed by Captain Revoe a squad of policemen began to batter in the door, while the others stood waiting with drawn revolvers for the first shot from within. Because of the entreaties of Mrs. McManners, who had been inside the cottage throughout the fighting, her husband decided not to resist the officers and the door was opened before the police had broken it down. The three men and Mrs. McManners were at once placed under arrest and taken to the police station. Returning to the building in a short time the officers found that Streeter had barricaded the house once more. He was summoned to surrender, and after some parlaying gave himself up. When he came out of the house he carried a rife and four revolvers. He claims that he was not on the ground when the fight was in progress. McManners, Blocki and Hoeldtike claim that the first shot was fired by Kirk and that he was shot when they returned his fire. This is denied by Portorous, who claims that the other side fired the opening shot. All persons living on the "district of Lake Michigan" were placed under arrest pending the death or recovery of Kirk. At the hospital to which he was taken it was announced that there was no chance of his recovery. In the immediate neighborhood of the scene of the fight a number of Chicago's most prominent men reside, among them being ex-United States Senator Farwell, O. W. Potter, Franklin MacVeagh and Potter Palmer. SYRACUSE, N. Y.—(Special.) Ward Doonan took a lighted lantern to inspect a tank of 3,000 gallons of petroleum at the Syracuse Chilled Plow Works.

The entire family of Grant Shriley, a railroad brakeman, including his wife and five children, were overcome by escaping fuel gas at their home. Neighbors forced an entrance to the house and found one child, a 7-year-old boy, dead. The mother and two other children are still unconscious. Shriley was away on his run. The fire in the heater went out during the night and an increase in pressure filled the house to suffocation. Georgia Bank Robbery. ACWORTH, GA.—(Special.) Safe-blowers forced the vaults of the Lemon Banking Company here, securing $5,000 in gold, a $0,000 Georgia state bond, and a large amount of stock certificates. Between $4,500 and $5,000 in notes, stock certificates and bonds were hopelessly mutilated by the explosion and much currency and small bills destroyed. A box filled with $20 gold pieces escaped the notice of the robbers. The robbers had to blow through four protections to reach the money. Latest Kansas News THE ISLAND GREW VALUABLE. Man Bought a Rixer Island at Wichita and it became part of Mainland WICHITA—Special.) Albert Reeves, of Dodge City, purchased an island located in the Arkansas river from the government in 1888, for $1.59. He had long ago abandoned the same as a useless piece of land. Reeves arrived in this city to attend the cattlemen's convention and in looking over the plats of the city, finds that the eighty or more f eet of water that formerly existed between his island and the main land has been filled up by a process of gradual accretion and that the property now is valuable. The land is at present claimed and occupied by James Strickland and Samuel Botts. Both of these men have erected fine residences upon the land. Reeves has served notice that they will be compelled to pay him $5,000 for the property or he will enter suit for possession of the same, since he holds a clear title and the government patient. SWEDE FAMILIES COLONIZE. Forty-four People. All Related. Buy Val- able Land Near Emporia. EMPORIA—(Special.) The queerest and largest land deal that has been made in Emporia for years has just been completed. The land sold comprises over 3,900 acres and lies near this town. The land was old to a colony of six families of Swedes direct from their native land. They bought the land jointly. It will be held in common and so farmed by the purchasers. Six houses will be immediately built on the land and other improvements made. There are thirty-ranging in ages from less than 2 months to 11 years. There are nineteen girls and thirteen boys. Of the males seven are named John. The heads of the families are all either brothers or brothers-in-law. The children are all cousins. The deal involves over $50,000. WANTED TO PAY ALIMCNY. Request of a Man Who Asked for Court's Order Against Himself. WICHITA.—(Special.) The somewhat unusual spectacle o f a man asking the court to order him to pay alimony to his wife when he himself was the petitioner for a separation greeted the officials of the district court here. James A. Wilcox petitioned for a divorce from his wife, Pearl A. Wilcox. He said that they were married October 2, 1892, in Buchanan county, Mo. Not long ago, he said, she abandoned him and has since refused to live with him. He asked that the court give their two children to Mrs. Wilcox and to make an order requiring him to pay $40 a month for their support as long as they remain under the care and control of Mrs. Wilcox. After that he wanted an order to require him to pay $20 a month to Mrs. Wilcox as long as she lived or until she r e-married. Big Gas Land Purchase. IOLA.—(Special). The largest real estate deal for the number of acres involved ever consummated in Allen county, was the sale by D. Horville of $20 acres of land lying one and one-half miles from the city limits of loia, to F. V. Crouch, president of the street car line for a consideration of $84,000. The land lies in what is known to be certain gas territory, and the gas rights are worth at least half that sum. Mr. Crouch says he is buying the land for a syndicate, but for whom he declines to say. It is thought here that he is dealing for Kansas City parties, who have before tried to purchase the land. A gas well has been struck north of this tract, which suddenly increased its value about $20,000 and brought in 200 acres of gas land that heretofore has been doubtful territory. Kannas Flour Mill Enlarges. WELLINGTON. - (Special.)

A SECOND MURDER Farmer Killed, Probably by Slayer of Thomas Carroll ARGENTINE.—(Special.) The dead body of George Zimmerman, an aged German farmer, has been found at his home near Morris station, six miles west of here. Zimmerman's head was crushed. There was a pool of blood near it which had been frozen, and there is every indication to lead to the belief that the man was murdered. This discovery, following so closely the discovery of Thomas Carroll's lifesite body in his home near Argentine last week, and the mysterious disappearance of the aged Noah Long, who it is believed may have been murdered for his money, convinces the Wyandotte county officials that these crimes were committed by the same persons, although tangible evidence connecting the three tragedies is missing. W. L. Perkins, of Turner, and Fred Bowers, a neighbor, went to Zimmerman's home and forced an entrance. They had not sen the old man for two weeks. There were no snow tracks leading to his house and they became convinced that he was either absent from his house, or dead. The latter proved true. When the men broke down the door the lifeless body met their gaze. The body was cold and the farmer had evidently been killed a wek or ten days ago. Perkins and Bowers drove to Argentine and returned with Deputy Sheriff, George Simmons and Constable Richard Bowman. They removed the body to Simmons' morgue, in Argentine. BUNCO MEN BUNCOED Gang Pat to Flight by Kansas Man Who Had Fun With Them. JUNCTION CITY.—(Special.) Captain David Hill, an old resident of this city, buncod three gold brick swindlers here some ten days ago and the facts have just leaked out. The three gold-brick men arrived in Central Kansas, and made Abilene their headquarters. They selected Captain Hill as their first victim. The captain saw through the trick at once. He agreed to go to Abilene as they wished, and they paid the carfares, hotel bills, etc., and gave him money before going and after arriving in Abilene for incidental expenses. It was the same old story of a lost gold mine in Arizona which had been discovered by a Mexican, and that someone with money was needed to help develop it. The Mexican was at Abilene with several bricks as samples. These were taken in the presence of Captain Hill to an assayer, who pronounced them to be pure gold. The owner of the bricks was willing to sell them at a low figure, but the 'assayer did not have money enough. Captain Hill was supposed to take a half interest in the purchase of the bricks, but, instead, laughed so heartily at the simpleness of the scheme that the sharks fled. Topeka Wants Rock Island Shops TOPEKA.—(Special.) The Topeka Commercial Club will try to secure the location of the new Rock Island shops which will be built to take the place of the shops destroyed by fire at Horton. Mayor Parker believes that if this city offers a fair sized bonus it can get the shops, and he has started out the subscription list with a donation of $1,000. Habit may be second nature, but if very slim improvements on the original: Charged With Embezzlement. WICHITA.—(Special.) A reward of $100 is offered for the arrest of George W.

Trout is married and has a family. Recently he was used in the courts her for breach of promise. t It is harder to remember a virtue than a fault. BEFORE HE TOOK VOGELER'S he Could Not Touch His Wife's Dis- mers, and They Were "Fit for a King." So writes our esteemed friend Mr. Frank Chambers of 9 Bennett street, Chilwick. For over two years I suffered agonies from indigestion and became reduced to a mere shadow of my stalwart self. I would return home from my business feeling so faint that I could hardly drag one leg after the other. My dear wife did all she possibly could to tempt me with dainty dishes, and as I entered the house I sniffed and thought: 'Oh, how good; I know I can eat that!' But alas! no sooner had I eaten a few mouthfuls, when I felt sick; severe pains shot through my chest and shoulder blades, my eyes swam and everything seemed black, I became alternately hot and cold, and got up from such a dainty dinner heartily of living, and feeling I was a sore trial to everybody. I may mention that I was also very much troubled with scaly skin, and often bolls. But one evening I noticed my wife seemed more cheerful than usual. I questioned her and found she had been reading a pamphlet she had received of men afflicted just as I was, and who had been cured by Vogeler's Compound. Said she. 'What gives me more faith in it that it is made from the formula of an eminent physician now in active practice in the West End of London, so I am sure it is no quack thing.' 'All right, dear, let's have a bottle,' said I. After taking the contents of the first bottle, I felt very much better, and determined to give this remedy a fair trial, and I can positively assure you that a few bottles made a new man of me. I can sleep well, eat anything, and thoroughly enjoy life. I have told several of my friends whom I knew were suffering the same as myself, and they all wish me to say that they are like new men. I sincerely bless the great physician who gave you the formula of Vogeler's Curative Compound, and also yourselves for making its virtues known to a suffering public."

Bullet Cannot Penetrate Snow. Some interesting experiments have been made at the musketry ranges outside Christiana to test the qualities of snow for hastily improvised protective works against rifle fire. In the result it is held to be established that a breastwork of snow six feet thick, even when not pressed, is quite impenetrable to the Krag-Jorgens rifle bullet at forty-five yards, although this weapon has a very high initial velocity. LIVING EXPENSES IN LONDON. What the Diner Has to Pay in All Restaurants. An American who, in the classical language of his country, is at present "located" in London wants to know whether any city in the world is quite so nigglery as our own. He has been going the round of the London restaurants, and has encountered in the management of them a spirit which distresses him. "There is, to begin with," he says, "a charge of from 2d to 6d for guarding your hat and coat in the cloakroom and a tip in addition is expected. You want to wash your hands—another 2d or another 6d, and another tip. You take up the menu, and behold! there is an intimation that a charge of 3d each person will be made under the guise of 'table money.' This charge varies according to the nature of the place—3d is the lowest, 6d perhaps the average; at a great many restaurants it is 1s, and in at least two that I have visited, 1s 1d. The only difference is that in the lower-priced restaurants it is called 'table money,' and in the higher-priced ones placed under the captivating heading of convert. To my mind an entrance fee, frankly demanded at the door, would be much less offensive than to find yourself asked at the end of a dinner to pay for the trouble and expense of cleaning 4p the cutlery you have used." His conclusion of the whole matter is that "London lives by imposing a fixed tariff on the accessories that in every other city I have ever been to are thrown in gratis," and he thinks that being a gentleman is one of the most expensive professions an Englishman can have. He declares it to be an utter delusion that London is a cheap place to live in.—London Chronicle. WON A WIFF. Claims of an Imported Damsel Captured A. Farmer Besides being asked a variety of nonsensical questions, the marriage license clerk, says the Detroit Journal, is made confident of scores of elated grooms, who insist upon telling how they came to catch "her." Last Saturday a farmer from Huron county and a business man of this city, both Germans, told Eddie Schultz the following story: The farmer was a widower, and one day last summer, while at the house of the Detroiter, the latter asked him why he did not get another wife. The farmer replied that there was no one in his part of the state that he cared to marry who would marry him, whereupon the friend remarked that there was a girl in the old country with whom he used to keep company; that she wasn't married, and would make a good wife. It was arranged that the friend was to write to her and dilate upon the attractions of the Huronite. The reply was favorable, and the farmer forwarded money to pay her passage and expenses. "When she arrived," narrated the friend, "she had such nice red cheeks that, py chiminedder, I think I will marry her myself. Of course that wasn't right, because he had sent the money, but we settled it by playing three games of 66. He beat me two times, and the girl is his. They will be married to-night at my house, but I will dance at the wedding." Two Criticisms on Sermons: The Rev. Dr. W. S. Rainford, rector of St. George's church, New York, derives much enjoyment from the criticisms of his sermons which he hears from time to time. He has an artful way of calling forth these expressions, and enjoys telling of some very frank replies he has received. He recently asked a young parishioner, who is an attentive listener: "Well, Dorothy, how did you like my Advent sermon?" "It was very peculiar, doctor," replied the precocious 11-year-old. "You read so many texts from the Bible." The doctor missed from the services a stern-faced but kindly old woman of New England stock, and sought her out. "I have not seen you at church later," he said. "The fact is, doctor. I have been going to St. ____'s." "Don't you like St. George's?" the clergyman asked. "Yes," was the hesitating reply, "but there is not enough heilfire in your sermons. You are too easy on sinners." Bombarding the Sky. Prof. Willis L. Moore of the agricultural department in a recent report ridicules the idea that storms of any kind may be induced, dispelled or controlled by bombarding the clouds. Prof. Cleveland Abbe of the weather bureau agrees with his conclusions and in a recent paper criticizes Prof. Franklin's argument for the rational plausibility and possible effectiveness of cannonading the sky with vortex rings for the prevention of hallstorms. Dr. Moore and Dr. Abbe should know that a great many people in Europe besides ignorant peasants believe that hallstorms may be averted by the influence of explosives, and the faith they profess is too well grounded in experience, or what passes for experience, to be shaken by anybody's ipe nixit. No doubt they are mistaken, but to show that they are would require that experiments be made under conditions similar to those which have established their confidence. Egypt's Velled Women Egyptian veils. Women. The tasmak or vell may be black or white, long or short, plain or embellished with rows of drawn work or tucks, and of any sort of fine, soft material. The women of the middle and lower classes wear for the most part black veils from one to three feet long; those higher in the social grade wear white ones, and occasionally they reach to the hem of the dress. These are held in place by a metal tube that is fastened over the nose and lower part of the forehead by cords securely tied behind. When worn with this habara, in the orthodox fashion, there is nothing visible but the woman's bright, black eyes, which see everything going on. SISTERS OF CHARITY Use Pe-ru-na for Coughs, Colds, Grip and Catarrh-A Congressman's Letter. Saint Margaret of the Cross Dr. Hartman receives many letters from Catholic Sisters all over the United States. A recommend recently received from a Catholic institution in Detroit, Mich. reads as follows: Dr. Hartman receives many letters from Catholic Sisters all over the United States. A recommend recently received from a Catholic institution in Detroit, Mich., reads as follows: Detroit, Mich., Oct. 8, 1901. Dr. S. B. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio: Dear Sir—"The young girl who used the Peruna was suffering from laryngitis, and loss of voice. The result of the treatment was most satisfactory. She found great relief, and after farther use of the medicine we hope to be able to say she is entirely cured." SISTERS OF CHARITY. This young girl was under the care of the Sisters of Charity and used Peruna for catarrh of the throat with good results as the above letter testifies. SISTERS OF CHARITY All Over United States Use Pe-ru-na for Catarrh. From a Catholic institution in Ohio comes the following recommendation from the Sister Superior: "Some years ago a friend of our institution recommended to us Dr. Hartman's Peruna as an excellent remedy for the influenza of which we then had several cases which threatened to be of a serious character. "We began to use it and experienced such wonderful results that since then Peruna has become our favorite medicine for influenza, catarrh, cold, cough and bronchitis." SISTER SUPERIOR Dr. Hartman, one of the best known physicians and surgeons in the United States, was the first to formulate Peruna. It was through his genius and perseverance that it was introduced to the medical profession of this country. INSIST ON GETTING IT. Some grocers say they don't keep De- fance Starch. This is because they have a stock on hand of other brands contain- ing only 12 oz. in a package, which they won't be able to sell first, because De- fance contains 16 oz. for the same money. Do you want 16 oz. instead of 12 oz. for same money? Then buy De- fance Starch. Requires no cooking.
