Never have the French made use of so many English words as during the past season. The world of "sport" began the practice some years ago, and it had this excuse, that it drew its horses, its "trainers" and its "jockeys" from the other side of the channel. But nowadays French society indulges in a positive debauch of exotic terms. One goes no longer "sur le champ des courses," but "on the turf." The horses go round the "ring." The "donneurs de Paris" are "bookmakers." The "gross pontes," "plungers." A "thoroughbred" (pur sang) is no longer "boiteux," but "broken down."—Paris letter. Some Useful Recipes. Among members of the Greek church in Macedonia the following recipes are regarded as highly useful: To pacify one's enemies write the psalm "Known in Judea," dissolve it in water, and give your enemy to drink thereof, and he will be pacified. For a startled and frightened man take three dry chestnuts and sow-thistle and three glasses of old wine and let him drink thereof early and late; write also "In the beginning was the Word," and let him carry it.

Mr. Le Gallienne writes of Nature as a lover, but his poetic fancy does not disguise from us that he was bred in cities. In his chapter on what Nature brings to beautify the graves of the little dead, he writes : "The wrenn will sometimes bring her sky-blue eggs for a gift." Perhaps a wren may be permitted to do this sort of thing in a "tragic fairy tale;" in every-day life she would have to purchase them from a commercially minded hedge-sparrow, for her own eggs are a pearly white, with reddish brown spots. In any memorial concerning Mr. Dick it is impossible to keep out some mention of Mr. Richard Le Gallienne's hair. Two literary friends of his were recently speaking of the disproportionate amount of adverse criticism he occasionally received. One said: "His work is often excellent; he is 'slated' because of the length of his hair. And yet that helped him at first." "Ah," said the other, "it began as a boom and ended as a boommer."

Hinton, Ky., Nov. 2—For over two years two of the best physicians it was this part of the state have been treated, Mr. E. J. Thompson, a popular local school teacher, for Diabetes. They told him that but little could be done to help him. He made up his mind to try a new remedy called Dodd's kidney Pills, and says: "They saved me when the doctors The Teacher Won.

Osborne, of Emporia, Kan., were defeated in the Suffolk probate court Friday in the contest against the will of Henry O. Peabody, disposing of an estate valued at $375,000. The will was allowed by Judge Grant Friday, and provides for the property being used to establish an industrial school for girls on his farm at Norwood, Mass., where pupils may receive instruction that will fit them to become self-supporting. The instrument was contested by his relatives on the ground that he was of unsound mind and was unduly influenced. Librarians Choose Officers. EMPORIA.—(Special.)

Hillis, superintendent of the Soldiers' Orphans' home at Atchison, has locked horns with the state auditor. Some time ago the auditor issued an order requiring the heads of institutions to turn in receipts for amounts advanced by them and included in their cash vouchers. When Mr. Hillis sent in the October vouchers for the home, he failed to inclose receipts for amounts which he claimed to have advanced to various parties and for which he asked remuneration from the state auditor.

Not 'Active Troops." TOPEKA. — (Special.) The expense for having the Kansas troops participate in the Fort Riley maneuvers will aggregate about $20,000. Most of this will be paid by the war department. The only expense the state will be at is for the maintenance of the governor's staff.

Louis Mortfield shot and killed his wife and then committed suicide Monday at their boarding house here.

Gerow, director of the Kansas free employment bureau. Mr. Krohn began his career as a minister in Abilene and from there went to Atchison. He had trouble with his congregation and left the ministry to become editor of the Atchison Champion, then owned by Governor Martin. He was editing the paper at the time of Martin's death. ALL WANT TO MAKE MUSIC. Several Kansas Choral Clubs May Compete for Honor. TOPEKA—(Special.) The Kansas commissioners to the world's fair will have much difficulty in selecting a choral club to furnish music on Kansas day. Three or four towns in Kansas have choral societies and each wants to furnish the music. It has been suggested that the various societies hold a state tournament and compete for the honor, the one taking first prize to go to the fair. The commission has been notified that the Kansas building will be completed and ready to turn over by November 20. It has been decided to set aside $10,000 to aid in getting a Kansas display of live stock. Culver Fights Back. WICHITA. — (Special.) Ex-State Grain Inspector W. W. Culver, in his answer to a suit brought against him by the Farmers' Co-operative Grain and Live Stock Association, filed Wednesday, denies that he owes it any money and claims $6,150 damages from the company as a result of his arrest and trial for embezzlement on the complaint of James Butler, its manager, which he says was malicious and without cause. The suit involves the money Culver was alleged to have embezzled while in the company's employ, the action having been brought to recover it. Culver had a preliminary hearing on the criminal charge and was acquitted June 22, the trial lasting three days. Shot His Brother-Jin-Law GLASCO.—(Special.)

The shaft is now withing 120 feet of the coal. Will Not Help Dumprope EMPORIA. — (Special.) Henry Dumprope, sent to the penitentiary for three years last March, is trying to get a pardon, but the Lyon county officers seem to think he deserves all he got.

KEEP THE BOWELS REGULAR The cause of two-thirds of the serious ills of life and one-half of all who die prematurely can be traced to persistent constipation. The bowels are one of the great outlets of the body and should perform their functions with the utmost regularity—not by physic requiring large and frequent doses to whip them into action and eventually depriving them of natural strength—but by made from the whole grain of the wheat, which, if eaten once a day, will keep the bowels regular. A food—not a medicine. Served hot or cold. ORTHY of a higher recommendation than I can find words to express." W This is what Mr. J. H. Plangman of Sherman, M.D., of Doan's Kidney Pills. tells his experience in the following words: He says, "Sometimes in September I was taken with a dull aching pain across the small of my back, directly over the kidneys. I paid small attention to this at first, thinking it would pass off. But instead of getting better it became worse and in a short time the pain centered through my left hip and down my left leg as far as the knee." This is precisely what kidney trouble will do with the body. It does not always show itself at first, but appears just in this way, when some unusual movement or action brings sharp pains and exhaustive aches, telling of sick kidneys. So Mr. Plang- as far as the knee: This is precisely what kidney trouble will do with the body. It does not always show itself at first, but appears just in this way, when some unusual movement or action brings sharp pains and exhaustive aches, telling of sick kidneys. So Mr. Plangman's experience bore this out. Continuing, he says: "I did not know the cause of the trouble, but I am led to believe now that it was first brought about by jumping in and out of the wagon and in some way I may have strained my back. "I was constantly growing worse," he continues, "and I became very much alarmed about my condition. I knew that something had to be done or serious results were sure to follow. I went to a specialist here in Sherman, and underwent a rigid examination." Then he relates how the doctor told him that it was a serious case, but that he could cure him for fifty dollars.

Naturally, he thought that he would soon be rid of the trouble, but in spite of the doctoring he goes on to add, "I was in such misery that it was almost impossible for me to do my work." "It was at this juncture that Doan's Kidney Pills came to my notice and I procured some from the drug store of C. E. Craycroft.

THERE WAS NO FOREIGN INTERFERENCE Europe Willing to Give United States a Free Hand—Conference at White House to Outline Policy to Be Followed—United States to Conduct Affairs With a Firmer Hand. COLON, COLOMBIA. — (Special.) The royal mail steamer Orinoco, with twenty-eight officers, 435 men and thirty women, has sailed. The United States auxiliary cruiser Dixie has just arrived. After a conference, Colonel Tovres, commander of the Colombian troops here, seeing that the situation was hopeless, agreed to embark his soldiers on the Orinoco, sailing for Cartagena at 6 p. m. A special train from Panama brought General Tovar, who also sailed on the Orinoco. The people of Colon are now jubilant. The flag of the new republic files from the railway stations at Gatun and Bohio Solodado, near Colon. Troops from Panama will doubtless take charge of the city soon. The municipal council of Colon has just notified the provisional government at Panama of its adherence to the new republic. PANAMA, COLOMBIA.—General Tovar and his staff have at last been convinced of the uselessness of their resistance to the provincial government, and have accepted the terms offered by the junta. They will embark at once for Colon on an express train and will leave immediately on the royal mail steamer Orinoco for Cartegena. The arrangement to this end was made through the efforts of Commander Hubbard, of the United States gunboat Nashville, Superintendent Shaler and Assistant Superintendent Prescott of the Panama railroad who guarantee that both parties will fulfill the agreement. There is great rejoicing all over the city because the stability of the republic now seems assured. The fact that troops were already moving toward the line probably decided General Tovar and his staff to accept the terms of the junta. The government of the new republic of Panama is constantly receiving congratulations from Paris, London, the republics of Central America and from nearly all other parts of the world. The government of the republic of Panama is making all possible efforts to prevent bloodshed, but the correspondent of the Associated Press understands that an ultimatum has been sent to Colonel Torres, commander of the government forces at Colon, announcing that it is the intention of the government of the republic of Panama, should Colonel Torres refuse to consider the generous proposals made to him to permit the embarkation of his troops on board a steamer and their transportation back to Savanilla, to send an army to attack Colon. The telegraph lines communicating with the interior of the isthmus of Panama are kept busy transmitting notices from the inhabitants of outlying places of their adhesion to the recently declared republic of Panama. General H. O. Jeffries, a graduate of West Point, has been appointed commander of the Pacific flotilla by the provisional government. Carlos Constantino Arosemena has been made assistant secretary of foreign relations. As soon as the Colombian troops leave Colon, the troops of the new republic will be sent there. The provisional government has already organized the military to be commanded by General Domingo Diaz. All the soldiers forming the division fought either with the government or the liberal party during the last revolution. They are, therefore, already trained and accustomed to military discipline. Offers $50,000 for a Pink JOLIET, ILL.—(Special.) The Flancee, dainty pink carnation that is the pride of the Higinbotham gardens, was declared the winner of the gold medal in the carnation contest at the Flower show here Friday. After the announcement of the award the Chicago Carnation Company, Mr. Higinbotham's concern, offered $50,000 for any carnation plant that will exceed in beauty and other respects the Flancee. Walked Off Train in His Sleep. GRASS VALLEY, CAL.—(Special.) Charles Webber, a horseman en route to San Francisco from the East, in a fit of somnambulism Friday morning, near Lakeview, jumped off a Southern Pacific train while passing through the snowshed. Later he walked into the station at Lakeview clad only in a night dress. He suffered only a few brushes. Three Cadets Discharged. WASHINGTON. — (Special.) The secretary of the navy has signed the order for the dismissing of Midshipmen Joseph Drummond Little, John Henry Lofland and Earl Worlde Chaffe from the service of the United States. All of the midshipmen were members of the first class at the naval academy. They were convicted by court-martial on the charge of hazing. tlLw saaelt (offshdrdu etaoi emfwyw Little was appointed from Ohio, Lofland from Iowa and Chaffe from Wisconsin, all in 1900. At the Orpheum. The Orpheum at Kansas City will present a strong bill the week of November 8. The famous Paxton art studies are a series of living pictures formed by a corps of expert French posers. The masterpieces of ancient and modern painters are realistically reproduced in life. The stage settings are elaphrate and nothing is left out which can be used to make the pictures win popular favor. They have created a decided sensation at other cities on the Orpheum circuit. Francesca Redding and her company will be seen in one of Will M. Cressy's clever sketches, entitled "The Cattle Queen." The "queen" goes to Washington to lobby for a bill and finds in the Texas senator a former deserado. He starts for her with a knife and she shoots out the lights and then draws a bead on him by aid of a stray ray of moonlight. The sketch is a comedy with strong dramatic points. Falke and Semon, the popular musical comedians, come to Kansas City after an absense of several years in Europe. "A String Town Yap," is well fitted to them. The kinodrome will have a number of interesting pictures to offer. There will be a matinee daily during the week. Farmers' Trust Wins LINCOLN, NEB.—(Special.) Justice Holcomb, of the supreme court, Friday evening issued a writ of mandamus against the Burlington Railway Company to compel it to grant an elevator site at Upland, Neb., to the Kansas Co-operative Grain Association, of Topeka, known as the "farmers' trust." The company professes to be willing to erect a $4,000 structure and alleges that its request of the officers that the site be granted has been ignored. The writ is made returnable December 1. The application for the writ is looked upon as a beginning of the crusade which the so-called farmers' trust is expected to wage to get competing elevator facilities in the state. Success Without Money. The brisk attack on snobbery that was a leading feature of the October "Everybody's" has been followed up in the November issue by a significant article on "Successful Men who are not Rich." Success without money seems anomalous to the modern American; yet, on reflection, the most eager devotee of plutocracy cannot deny that such men as Senator Hoar of Massachusetts, President Eliot of Harvard, Dr. Rainford and General Joe Wheeler are, in the best sense of the term, successful. And the private income of the most successful man in the United States to-day —Theodore Roosevelt—is said to be well under $7,500 yearly. It is a good to be reminded of these triumphs that are not measured in dollars. Will Improve the Roads TULSA, I. T.—(Special.) The Arkansas river has been on a rampage and county roads are almost impassable. Different towns in this part of the territory are making an effort to put the roads in better condition. Recently the Commercial Club of this place authorized the purchase of 10,000 feet of native oak lumber, to be used for this purpose. They also appointed an investigating committee to inquire of the mayor and city council the cause of delay in the building of sidewalks here. Oil in Lawton Townsite LAWTON, O. T.—(Special.) Mineral oil has been discovered on the Lawton townsite. The shaft on the Beal addition has been sunk ninety-two feet and curbed with lumber. Colonel Holcomb, superintending the work, says the company expects to take from five to ten barrels of oil a day from the shaft. That taken from the bored well near warts of fair quality for lubricating purposes and excellent for fuel. More Hisses for Old Glory. VANCOUVER, B. C.—(Special.) As showing the depth of resentment over the success of the United States in the Alaska boundary matter, during the performance of a minstrel troupe Friday evening the music of the American anthem was vigorously hissed. When the flag formed itself in the stage lights the expression of dissent became so loud that the curtain was rung down in haste. Society Sickens on Beans. MISHAWAKA, IND.—(Special.) The serving of canned beans at a New England supper given by the elite of St. Paul's church proved disastrous. Over fifty persons are effected and some are violently ill, but it is thought that no fatalities will result. Among the sick are the leaders of Mishawaka's society. Shot During a Fight. NESS CITY.—(Special.) Henry Klee Friday night shot and instantly killed Thomas Kramer. The shooting occurred at the home of John Casey. Kramer attacked Casey, and klee interfered by shooting. Kramer confessed at the coroner's inquest. He was arrested and pleaded self-defense. BRIEF BITS OF NEWS.

Murderer Was Finally Captured by a Ruse—Tried to Kill His Sister and His Sister-in-Law After He Had Slain His Brothers—Declared He Had Been "Bewitched." POTTSVILLE, PA.—(Spectral.) Benjamin, Franklin Weissinger, worked into a frenzy as a result of an altercation with one of his brothers, living on a farm several miles from this city, shot and killed his two brothers, Louis and Frederick, attempted to kill his sister and a sister-in-law, and held a large posse of policemen at bay for nine hours before he was captured. The tragedy occurred on the farm of the father of the men. Benjamin and Frederick had a quarrel over the cleaning of a horse. During the altercation, Benjamin fired four shots at Frederick without any of them taking effect. Frederick fled to the attic of the farm house and was followed into the house by the enraged brother. The latter secured a Winchester repeating rifle, and, as he was leaving the house, he encountered another brother, Louis, at the kitchen door. Without a word of warning, Benjamin fired at Louis, the bullet striking him in the side. The victim fell unconscious and died in half an hour, without uttering a word. The murderer then walked down a path and caught a glimpse of Frederick, who was looking out of the attic window. Benjamin quickly raised his rifle and fired. The bullet entered Frederick's cheek and penetrated the brain. He fell dead across the window sill. His wife, who had gone to the attic with him, attempted to drag the body into the room. She succeeded in this, but not before Benjamin had fired several shots at her without effect. The double murderer's attention was then attracted to his sister, Mary, who had come out of the house to persuade him from doing any more shooting. She persisted so strongly that he turned the rifle upon her and fired twice, but his aim was bad. The young woman escaped into the house. Having realized what he had done, and fearing arrest, Benjamin decided to barricade himself in the barn. He went into the house, secured a shotgun, several revolvers and ammunition, and then took up his position in the barn. The women of the house notified neighbors, who, in turn, summoned police assistance from this city. Every attempt the authorities made to approach the barn was met with several shots from Weissinger, and reinforcements were sent for. Toward evening, either a parley with the murderer, he permitted David Wertz and Samuel Lovett, farm hands, to enter the barn and feed the horses and cattle. Weissinger, in the meantime, kept the men covered with his firearms. When Sheriff Smith appeared on the scene, a ruse was planned to capture the man. Another perley was held with the murderer, and he agreed to let the two farm hands bring him his supper. The men were instructed to watch their opportunity, seize him by the arms and shout, which would be the signal for the deputies to rush in. This they did, and a terrible struggle took place. The murderer is a powerful man, but the force of numbers was too much for him, and he was tied hand and foot before he could use his ewapons. He was brought to this city, and will have a hearing after the funeral of his brothers. Weissinger is believed to be insane. His mind is said to have been falling for some time. He had nothing to say regarding the tragedy, except that he exclaimed: "I am bewitched." Blame It on Sun Spots. PARIS.—(Special.) The almost complete paralysis of the telegraph system Saturday is attracting the attention of numerous scientists, including Camille Flammarion, the astronomer, who attributes it to magnetic disturbances caused by huge sun spots, which crossed the center meridian of the sun on Saturday. Eugene Antoinalli, formerly a coworker of M. Flammarion at Juvisy, says the disturbance was due to a magnetic storm, caused by a group of sun spots 125,442 miles in length. Drove Them Into River.

James Calder, a lumberman from Rigolet, Labrador, the last white man to see Leonidas Hubbard, Jr., of New York, assistant editor of Outing, and head of the Labrador exploring expedition, arrived Monday. Calder expressed grave doubts as to the safety of the Hubbard party, which was attempting what he considers an impossible trip. Calder tried to persuade Hubbard from venturing inland, but he persisted and, as already told in these dispatches, he gave away nearly all his food before starting, on the plea that he could not advance fast enough if burdened with stores. His intention was to proceed north toward Ungava bay, but if he found this impossible his alternative was to travel to the southwest, hoping to break out in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. It was the purpose of Mr. Hubbard to subsist on what he killed with the rifle, but Calder, who previously had traveled 150 miles inland through the forest, advised his taking a shotgun, which would enable him to kill small game. Calder believes that the only chance for Mr. Hubbard and his two companions is that a party of Nauscopee Indians, following the same route six weeks later, on a trapping expedition, may come up with him. WAR INEVITABLE IN CHINA. The Opinion of a London Paper on the Russo-Japanese Situation LONDON.—(Special.) The London Morning Post says the majority of Russian warships in Chinese waters are between Talienwan and Hayangtao. Three Chinese cruisers left Chefoo Sunday for the mouth of the Yalu river. This constitutes an infringement of Korean rights. The St. Petersburg correspondent of the London Daily Mail says he learns that the Russian government does not anticipate war with Japan before next spring, even should the negotiations fall. The London Daily Telegraph says that although the negotiations between Russia and Japan continue, Japan is inflexible and a conflict sooner or later is regarded as inevitable. PEKIN,—(Special.)
