He has served four years as assistant and most people recognizes the fact that a change is liable to take place. There are some fools who live for themselves, yet we live for those who love us. Hence you see people who do not love us may not expect for us to live for them. Rev Sheldon seems to have played in hard lines for evidence. John McCrow his principal witness spoiled the whole thing by getting so drunk that the patrol had to be made his escort. This is an example. The loud mouth Parliamentarians want jobs again, some for the Legislature and some for county offices. This way of keeping a gang well fed and cared for at the trough is just about as bad as taking care of Cy Leiand. We want it understood that we intend to do right by candidates who desire to give us a fair consideration. But those who do not take this in consideration will find that Jordon will be a hard road for them to travel just bear this in mind we are not going to remain here eight years and allow you to give us the worst of it. There are candidates some of them who have served in the different capacities from year to year they have been wanting to hold some kind of office. They presume the people cannot get along without their good for nothing names before the people in the coming Republican Primary. These hangers should be turned down. The people well know who those ducks are if they don't we'll call them. "singular." WARNING. The mendacious tellows who believe themselves good enough to serve everybody just because they know how to defeat, outalk the citizens, will get left this time. The public is warned to make a general change, new material is in much in demand at this time. Let Shawnee voters act on these demands. There is always some big mouth shyster asking for office, and by this method good men are entirely left out. We shall watch the movements of these whirligigs. P. H. FORBES. COUNCILMAN 3D WARD. Among the candidates thus far mentioned in the ard ward is the name of P. H. Forbes a young Attorney of much promise he is for Councilman and will command a good vote if nominated he will serve the people a satisfactory administration, SOMETHING ABOUT A USEFUL CILIZEN FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONER. We take special pains in saying to our many readers a few well directed points about Mr. Sulas Rains, the veteran liveryman of this city. Mr. Rains having lived in Topeka for thirty years, there is something remarkable about him, he has been a delegate to every convention in this county since 1870 except two. Mr. Rains is at present a candidate for County Commissioner for the city district We know that Mr. Rains is well known to all of you, yet there are many who do not recognize his worth as a useful citizen of the Republican party. This is the first office he has ever asked for- CITY ELECTRIC LIGHT DEPARTMENT H. K. Goodrich--Supt. The editor of this paper made a visit to the different city institutions this week and found everything running in good order. Mr. H. K. Goodrich, the genial Supt. has made many reforms up-to-date. The old boiler method which was formerly in use, four in number, the same is now giving satisfaction by the use of three other reforms are in place of many ofhood methods. Only one drop of standard oil per minute runs this big concern. This has been accomplished by the economical method of the new Supt.' He has many helpers, among them are three colored men, A. Edwards, Ike Manning and Jeff Johnson, who succeeded Dave Woodall in the days of ex-Mayor Fellows and has held the place ever since. Mr. Goodrich speaks well and high for his help and does all in his power to make them know that he appreciates their help in a mechanical way. He has been able since taking charge to induce the City Council to purchase and contract for nothing but the latest improved machinery and by this method 57 miles of electric line and 280 lights are more brilliant than in days of the old system. It is very easy to discern that the new system works better under Mr. Goodrich's administration. Mr. Goodrich is an old soldier and his appointment no doubt is a reward of merit. He mustered in the First Kentucky Light Cavalry in April 1861, and served over four years. He is a Republican and is one of the most social men whom you may meet not with standing his age as he is on the sunny side of 70 years, yet he is full of vigor and energy and takes great pleasure in telling a good story or giving one all the desired information in the most pleasant manner. W. F. WEBER, FOR COUNCILMN--4TH WARD. Mr, W. F. Weber will be elected to the city council on Feb. 24th is one among our most capable prosperous and influential citizen, He is a known Republican of excellent standing and has always been on hand when duty called him in the interest of the Republican party, He was a member of the last state convention held at Hutchinson—he is all right, Some mens majority in the city Primaries will be larger than their opponents vote. We don't propose to interfere with other peoples business but we do not believe in injustice, We hope to see the white men landed in offide who knows a colored man for times other than election, G. W. Wheatley of Galenn one of the brightest men in the state is a candidate for repuplican nomination tor cogress in the third district Mr. Wheatley is at present a member of the state legislature and is recognized as a valuable man. His nomination would be followed by his election. The district is republican with a candidate that can pull the full party vote and this year will see it redeemed Wheatley is the kind of timber the republicans will have to use to convince the people that they will use their best man Ex.

Wichita Eagle; A woman who is quarantined at the topeka avenue hotel stuck her head out of an upper window yesterday and in her indignation proceeded to explain: "Not one of us has broke out yet." "No, said the policeman, "but you would if you had a chance. Kingman Leader: Some few days since a special agent of the Santa Fe visited Kingman and vicinity for the purpose of locating a lot of new railroad ties which mysteriously disappeared a while back. Thinking a clue had been found which might lead to their recovery, a search warrant was asked for and issued an placed in the hands of Sheriff Davis last week with instructions to search certain suspected premises in on one of the outlying townships. Strict search was made as directed but the missing property was not found. It is intimated that this is not the end of the matter. The railroads are continual suffers from these dreepredations and their policy is to spare no effor or expense in running down the guilty parties. Preston Plaindealer. A Sumner county teacher broke out with smallpox Sunday, but went back to open school Monday morning. The school board heard of it and went to the school house for the purpose of ordering her to stop—but after looking around the room and finding about half of the pupils were broken out with the disease they went home and the school is going rightalong.

Mr. Miller is an ex-soldier and has been in the State Legislature he was a member of that body from Johnson county in 1873 and from Pawnee county in 1877, he is well educated and is prominent among G.

There is not as much justice pertaining to joints in this town as some men's big toe. Some men are stuck on the most frivolous evidence while others who are known to be violating the law is not stuck. Is it a fact that any of this successful crew is paying for protection? Does Schlitz men run this city? Where is the Chief of Police(?) There are some men who seek office and thus far attempt to capture the Negro vote, but alas! that time has passed. Unless they are all right and get on the band wagon they will be defeated as in days of yore. The joint people were all run in this week and they are still at it though it seems that the few joint lawyers in town are able to get them out each time as the supposed bond is always ready. A. T.

VOL. 8, NO 21 Around the corridors of the Copeland hotel Kansas Day there was loitering an aggregation that pointed painfully to by-gone days. The has-beens were all there, hugging the radiators, trying in a laborious way to whisper to somebody and make themselves believe they were a part of it. It was a sad siget but they had carefully dusted their clothes, shortened up their suspenders so that the seats of their trousers could give a faint suggestion as to their proper location and made this last stand. They were Napoleons at Wateloo having escaped from their first exiles. Oh, the pity of all, LAWRENCE WORLD. The announcement of the candidacy of Chas. F, Scott for the congress-man-at-large is somewhat of a surprise. The antl hae been hunting hard for a candidate but it was not though that Mr. Scott would fall a victim to the wiles of the anti-Cy's. However he has done so, Mr. Scott is a resident of the second district he is one of the brightest men in the state and will make a strong race. Should he win he will make a strong congressman. ex, The atiempt of the anti Leland men to defeat Congressman Bowersock for member of the Republican campaign congressional committee is along the usual peanut policy lines of that aggregation: Congressman Bowersock is not a follower of Leland at all. He is simply a man big enough to see that such things are foolish and he does propose being trifled with. Mr. Leland opposed his nomination and the two have not been chummy since, The Curtis men are making a serious mistake in dragging a foreign contest into the fight. They and they only will will lose. LAWRENCE WORLD, HOW SHE SPENT SUNDAY. Last Sunday morning I got up about six o'clock. I dressed myself, and put some water in the wash pan and washed my hands and face.

C., Jan. 27.—The town of Hilo has come out in open rebellion against the government and threatens to resist by force any attempt to carry out the rules made by the authorities here for the stamping out of the bubonic plague. Reports from the Hawaiian town indicate a condition bordering on panic among the people who seem ready to offer mob violence to representatives of the government. The sending of troops to enforce the law is now being discussed as a result of the reception given to Minister Cooper, representing the cabinet and the board of health. The Hilo people have been making their own quarantine laws, paying no attention to the rules adopted by the national board of health. They will not allow any freight or passengers from Honolulu to be landed. On the last trip of the steamer Kinau the local authorities destroyed the mail belonging to Chinese and Japanese residents and then declined to allow the vessel to have any communication with the shore.

Atchison, Kan., Jan. 25.—During the month of November enough box cars could not be procured to transport the grain on the Missouri Pacific lines in northern and western Kansas. Two million bushels of grain were brought in to Atchison, and more would have been imported but for the scarcity of box cars. During December, however, not to exceed 750,000 bushels were brought in by the same lines.

For miles the country was convulsed as if by an earthquake and windows broken generally. No one was hurt. The cause of the explosion is unknown. More Pensioners. Washington, Jan. 26.—The house committee on pensions ordered a favorable report on the bill making service in the Spanish-American war sufficient to remove the disabilities against those who aided or abetted the southern troops during the war of the rebellion in the matter of drawing pensions. This does not include widows and heirs but is more particularly designed to apply to parents serving in the war with Spain. Had a Great Awakening London, Jan. 27.—William St. John Broderick, under secretary of state for foreign affairs, speaking at Newkirk, said: "The government has not controlled the generals in their operations nor stinted them in the forces they have demanded. We have implicitly followed the guidance of military advises. It will be the duty of the government and of the parliament to see that our military organization is made equal to the need of the empire. We have had a great awakening on this subject." The Wichita and Southern- Wichita, Jan. 26.—W. H. Arnold of South McAlester, who is working in the interest of the Wichita and Southern railroad, attended a meeting of the company in this city. Colonel Arnold says that the money is ready to build the line and all that is now needed is the right-of-way through the Indian Territory. Colonel Arnold, is just on his way home from Washington and he says inside of two years he will ride from South McAlester to Wichita on the Wichita & Southern. The Insurgent Chief Not Named in Any Late News. GEN. SCHWAN DOING WELL Washington, Jan. 27.—General Otis cabled report indicates that General Schwan is conducting the campaign in the south of Luzon with the greatest energy. He has located southeast of Laguna de Bay, in what is probably the last considerable force of insurgents remaining in one command, and his report shows that with small loss to himself and heavy loss to the enemy he has managed to completely dissipate this force, probably beyond the possibility of reconstruction. General Otis' cablegram is as follows: A part of General Schwan's column, consisting of six companies with some artillery, drove a force of 500 insurgents from their inrenchments at San Diego near San Pablo. The enemy officially reported that they lost sixty-seven killed and many wounded. Our casualties were one killed and 14 wounded, the injuries in most instances being slight. Another battalion, while executing a flank movement, came upon a hundred other rebels in an intrenched position and routed them killing fifteen. The Americans had two wounded. General Schwan moved against Majayjay, Laguna province. He found its position almost impregnable, but, by lowering men down the steep river banks by ropes, flanked the enemy and drove them out. A part of his command proceeded to Santa Cruz, killing six insurgents. General Wheeler and his daughter left on Wednesday on the transport Warren, for San Francisco via Hong Kong and Guam. Six Americans Shot El Paso, Tex., Jan. 29.—The maji from Guaymas, Sonora, Mexico, brings the news that a report is current there that six Americans, David Cusick, John Eldridge, George Lunt, Charles Burns, Lon Webster and Henry Williams were shot during last week, near the foot of the Bacatete mountains, east of Guaymas, by order of General Torres, who is in command of the Mexican troops now operating against the Yaqui Indians in the Bacatete range. It is further reported that the matter was brought to the attention of the American consul at Guaymas, but that the latter declined to act. It is said that the Mexican troops found the Americans in friendly intercourse with the Yaquis whom the troops have surrounded ed in the range. Some of the Americans are known here and are prospectors. Americans at Guaymas warn all Americans to keep away from the Yaqui country. A New Course of Study. Minneapolis, Minn., Jan. 29. A committee of the Minnesota Bankers' association will ask the regents of the state university to establish a course in banking. The object of the new course will be to educate bankers, giving them work especially adapted to their profession. Certain work will be specified under the direction of the departments of law and political science. A special feature of the work will be its extension outside the twin cities through a correspondence course. To Fight the Cereal Company. Columbus, O, Jan 29.—A special to the Dispatch from Akron, O., says: F. A. Schumacher, son of the "oatmeal king," is said to be at the head of a new company being formed here to fight the American Cereal company. It is said Ferdinand Schumacher will be interested in the company. Opposed to a Western Mint. Washington, Jan. 25.—Secretary Gage is opposed to Representative Bowersock's bill to establish a branch mint at Kansas City. The secretary has been saying that the government does not need a mint at that point. He proposes to enlarge the mint at Philadelphia and ship large quantities of silver and gold bullion to New Orleans for coinage. This arrangement, he says, will meet the exigencies of the government for several years longer. Retaliation. Wichita, Jan. 27.—Local authorities of Oklahoma have established a quarantine against Sumner, Cowley and Harper counties in Kansas. The regulations forbid the bringing into Kay county any persons or merchandise by either freight or express. Dr. Kaster, chief surgeon of the Santa Fe, is doing all he can to raise the Kansas quarantine. He has visited the towns and made investigation, and now joins the Oklahoma board of health in an appeal to Kansas authorities to raise the quarantine. Hemp Ports are Open. Washington, Jan. 26.—General Otis reported to the war department that the western coast of the island of Panay is now open for trade, and that the coast of Laguna de Bay and the neighboring sections of the country will also be opened to unrestricted traffic by the end of the week. He also reports several minor engagements with the Filipinos in which the American arms met with the usual success. The enemy lost heavily and a large amount of arms and ammunition was captured. Don't think you can go on drawing vitality from the blood for nerves, stomach, brain and muscles, without doing something to replace it. Hood's Sarsaparilla gives nerve, mental and digestive strength by enriching and vitalising the blood. Thus it helps overworked and tired people. Hood's Sarsaparilla Never Disappoints More of the Former Is Manufactured Than of the Other Variety. From the Philadelphia Record: The world's production of sugar for the year now ended has reached the enormous total of 8,414,000 tons. The production of this staple commodity has increased three and one-fourth times since 1872, when the output was only 2,619,000 tons. The average price per pound, however, has declined considerably more than one-half during the same period, or from 1.39 cents in the earlier year to 2.39 cents for the year 1898—the average for the current year not yet being ascertainable. Beet sugar production slightly surpasses that of cane sugar for the first time in 1883, when 2,147,000 tons of the former were produced, as against 2,107,000 tons of the latter. Notwithstanding the growing cheapness of the commodity and the European bounty system for beet sugar, the quantity of cane sugar produced continued to increase from year to year until 1895, when it amounted to 3,530,000 tons. The destruction of the Cuban plantations accounts for the fact that the output of cane sugar has declined until the quantity manufactured during the current year amounted to only 2,904,000 tons, as compared with 5,510,000 tons of beet sugar. It is not likely that the limit of the world's demand for sugar has even nearly been reached, and with the introduction of improved methods the West Indian cane growers should be able to meet and overcome the competition of the European beet farmers. It is not in the nature of things that an essentially tropical product should be permanently displaced by a substitute grown in the lighter soil and under the less fervid rays of the sun of the temperate zone. COST OF THE ARCH. Points of Construction Which Make $1,000,000 a conservative Figure. The National Sculpture society has been giving the citizens' committee in New York, which has in charge the plan to recreate the "Dewey arch" in marble and bronze, as a naval arch of triumph, some reasons why a minimum estimate of $1,000,000 is fixed as the cost of the work, says the Buffalo Commercial. The society, through its secretary, calls attention to the fact that the mass and importance of the sculpture involved exceeds that on any similar monument of modern times. There are almost eighty statues or figures of colossal scale, the greater number of which at least are double life size, and many of them still larger, besides the historical portrait medallions and other sculpture enrichment—all in addition to the architectural details. "The heroic scale of architecture; the size of the columns and capitals, of each of which there are forty; the dimensions of the monoliths necessary for bases and pier groups; the massive foundations required, all involve expense, for the calculation of which there is no precedent in any similar monument." It is believed that a further inquiry will show, when all the details are taken into consideration, that the estimate of $1,000,000 is fair, though conservative. This is the largest sum ever called for by public subscription for such a purpose. But the committee is by no means dismayed. On the other hand, it is confident of success. INFANTILE EXCLUSIVENESS. There is a little 16th street girl, still under 6, who may be described as the limit in the matter of sensitiveness, says the Washington Post. Likewise, she has her points in respect to deadgameness. She was taken out to Takoma park about a week ago to spend a few days with her aunt. The tot played around in the front yard of her aunt's pretty home for awhile. Then her aunt let a playful little fox terrier into the front yard, saying to the child: "This is your little four-footed cousin." Five minutes later the aunt returned to the front yard to call the kid into the house, but she wasn't anywhere to be seen. The fox terrier was playing alone. There was a scrambling hunt for the tot, and all kinds of alarm, but the little girl didn't turn up. The aunt hustled into town. The little girl was home with her mother. She had walked to the 17th street road as soon as the fox terrier pup was presented to her, and not having the price of a ride into town on the cars, had asked the driver of a grocery delivery wagon to give her a lift in. The driver took her home. "Why didn't you stay at auntie's?" her mother asked her, in surprise. "She introduced me to a dog," replied the haughty young person. Superheated Water as a Motive Power Superheated Water as a Motive Power While one group of inventors is at work on liquid air as a motive power, with a temperature enormously below zero, another makes a claim of remarkable merits for a superheated water in light and heavy transportation. The water is heated in upright steel tubes to 150 degrees above the temperature of steam in a locomotive Louisiana Rice Is Red. The rice planters and millers of Southwestern Louisiana are having some trouble with the crop this season. For some unaccountable reason a considerable percentage of it is red. This is not the first season that red grains have appeared among the white, to be sure, but never before has the proportion been so large. An examination by chemists has shown that the red rice is equally nutritious as white. The value of the article as a matter of food is not in the least injured by the red grains. But the fact remains that the colored grains injure the sale of the rice they appear in. Cripple Creek Produces $20,000,000. The gold production from the Cripple Creek (Col.) district for the year $89 is estimated at $42,805 tons of ore, with a billion value of $19,743,100. The output for the month of December surpassed all previous records, and added $2,610,218 in gold to the world's wealth. Masts and Nails.

Electricity and Foliage. An extraordinary phenomenon has been noticed with regard to chestnut trees in a street in Brussels since the installation of the electric tram cars. The foliage begins to turn brown and pop early in August, to bud and even blossom again in October. The trees are the opposite side of the tramway have like ordinary trees, for they use their foliage in the late autumn and do not put forth fresh blossoms till spring. Botanists are inclined believe that this singular state of wings is due to the leakage of the electrical current at places underground acting upon the roots of the trees, which are otherwise healthy. Humors of Examination The humors of examination papers were further illustrated by Dr. Haig town, who, in speaking at the City of London college upon the responsibil- which rested upon examiners in eighing fragments of knowledge, said at the question, "What are the Chil- nium Hundreds?" once received the re- ry, "Small animals which abound in eat numbers in cheese." The ini-iry, "What is a cherub?" elicited, in turn, the answer, "An immoral be- beg of uncertain shape." — London chronicle. at er, ow re ted t ght the A Baby's Cry. A moderately intimate acquaintance with infants enables one to distinguish, almost from birth, three cries—the healthy yell, by which the child exercises his lungs, the fretting of moderate discomfort, and the acute cry of pain, the latter two including at first hunger, thirst, and dissatisfaction. By the end of three months the nurse or mother should be able to distinguish the fretting of actual physical discomfort from that of restlessness, and the sharp cry of pain from the less acute announcement of thirst, hunger, etc., while anger imparts a characteristic quality to the cry. If the baby is comfortably dressed and properly fed he will be less likely to be fretful and crying—Dr. A. L. Benedict in the January Woman's Home Companion." The Population of London. Last year's statistics show that the population of London is 4,484,717. For every 1,000 inhabitants there were thirty births and 17.7 deaths. The number of infants who died in their first year was 158 for every 1,000 births. During the period extending from 1887 to 1896 the mortality was lower than in Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam, Berlin and Copenhagen; but in 1897 it increased to such an extent that it is now very little lower than that of most European cities, Rome included.

According to the Medical Record, fair-haired people possess commonly between 140,000 and 160,000 hairs on the scalp, the number being about the same for man and woman. Dark-haired people have on average 105,000, while red-haired people are said to have only 30,000 hairs. But the latter apparently possess one great advantage in the fact that they retain their hair better, seldom becoming bald. Their hair is much coarser than that of dark or fair-haired persons. Deep Water Ports. The growing interest in deep water seaports and cheap transportation by water, gives added importance to the building up of the city of La Porte Texas. The high, dry ground of La Porte is in direct contrast with the greater portion of the Mexican Gulf Coast. Marshes, malaria and fevers are unknown. La Porte is to be formally "opened" and introduced to the public February 14 to 17, when it is expected a great crowd of Northern and Texas people will be on hand to inspect the much talked of new seaport of the Gulf. So great is the interest shown that the American Land Co. 188 Madison St., Chicago, acting as Northern Manager, is deluged with letters of inquiry. The Greatest Banquet of the World. The greatest banquet in history took place Aug. 18, 1889, when 40,000 mayors of France sat at a table in the Palais de l'Industrie in Paris. There were three relays of about 13,000 guests each. To prepare the feast required seventy-five chief cooks, 13,000 waiters, scullions, cellarmen and helpers; 80,000 plates, 52,000 glasses, knives, forks and spoons in proportion; 40,000 rolls and fish, meat and fowl by the ton.

New York Evening Sun.—The strange friendships that sometimes exist between animals that are by nature enemies have a new variation in the deep attachment between a dog and a chicken. The dog had belonged to a certain family in city days before the suburbs were in its plan. Afterward the attempt to raise chickens was idle because of his serious objections that were made plain whenever a stray chicken crossed his path, unless that one happened to be the little bantam hen. Finally all the others were disposed of, and the two odd companions continued to spend their time together. The little hen sits in perfect quiet while the dog licks her feathers, or she perches on his back while he walks. At night he stays by preference in the chicken house and the bantam perches beside him. A man seldom overrates himself when the tax collector comes around. Dropsy treated free by Dr. H. H.

The agonizing itching and burning of the skin, as in eczema, the frightful scaling, as in psoriasis; the loss of hair and crusting of the scalp, as in scaled head; the facial disfigurement, as in pimples and ringworm, the awful suffering of infants and the anxiety of worn-out parents, as in milk crust, tetter, and salt rheum—all demand a remedy of almost superhuman virtues to successfully cope with them.

The palms of my hands were covered and would become inflamed; little white blisters at first would appear, then they would peel off, leaving a red, smooth surface which would burn like fire and itch; well, there is no name for it. On the inside of the upper part of both my limbs great red blotches, not unlike hives, would appear, and as soon as I became warm the burning and itching would begin.

The nerve cells of the body have been robbed of their vital forces. The nerves have no life in them; therefore all the organs of the body suffer from lack of nerve control, and the blood vessels that supply these organs are not in proper tone. "HUDYAN corrects the evil. HUDYAN provides this vitality or nerve force that is wanting." Are you approaching this condition of Nervous Debility? Are you growing prematurely old? Do you suffer with headaches (Fig. 1); hollow eyes or dark rings under eyes (Fig. 2); pale, thin face and sunken cheeks (Fig. 3); weakness of hips (Fig. 4); a poor appetite and impaired indigestion (Fig. 5); torpid liver (Fig. 6), and costiveness, a coated tongue (Fig. 7)? Or have you dizzy spells? Do you suffer sleepless nights? Do you have horrid dreams? Do you awake in the morning hollow-eyed and tired out? Are you despondent, melancholy? Do you shun society? Are your knees shaky? Have you pain in the small of the back? These symptoms all tell you that your nerves are failing you; that you will grow old long before your time. HUDYAN will save you; HUDYAN will make a robust, strong, many man of you. HUDYAN revives, restores, rejuvenates. Go to your druggist at once and get HUDYAN. No other remedy; just HUDYAN, for HUDYAN is what you need. Other symptoms of this terrible affliction that visits so many men are cold hands and feet, palpitation of the heart, hot flashes, clouded memory, nausea after eating, twitching of muscles, nausea before the eyes, shooting pains, weariness, tremblings, sediment in urine, bleary eyes, swimming in ears, a shaky, all-gone feeling. Remember HUDYAN. Be a vigorous, robust man, a man with nerves of steel, a man with muscles of iron. HUDYAN is wonderful. HUDYAN is acknowledged by our leading medical men to be the greatest nerve and tissue builder known to med cal science. HUDYAN will lift you from that life of despondency and discouragement that you are now in, and will make of you a happy man. Try HUDYAN, you will soon be convinced. Hudyan Cures Women's Nerves.
