We don't blame a man as much tor doing wrong as we do it he is caught. Not all that glitters is gold and not half of Mrs. Nations "kingdom" has yet been told. You will have to hurry if you want to smash. The people of Tepeka has spoken and Judge Hizen has acted. This will teach a certain class that a big bull in a toy shop don't go. A mad dog scare is a bad thing. In this issue you find the notice of Mr. A. B. Quinton for member of school from the third ward city of Topeka Mr. Quinton is a highly respected gentlemen and if he is elected you can rest assured that he will give perfect satisfaction on the board. We don't want to be loved by our enemies but we will be heard just the same. If we are defeatel for County Clerk, we will be able to go into the details of how it happened. We don't care how many opposes us, we are going to see the fun. If you are not for us you are again-t us and thats your business and away you can sail in. Some says Mrs. Nation is not crazy - but we do not hesitate in keeping up our oft said statement that she is as crazy as a bed-bug because if you get behind a bed-bug he will run for his ife and she cares to be so crazy till she hasn't the sense to run. She calls it bravery but such bravery is sufficient to place her beyond the presence of the outside world. It is a burning "sha ne" to allow a woman to run things in an intelligent city like Topeka simply because she is a woman. --- Historical Society State House The State Ledger. Don't forget to stay by the editor of this paper at all times. Car-nations are just the stuff now-a-days. Mrs. Nation is a bird with her wings cropped. Don't forget that we print candidate cards at this office. You have no excuse for slighting us. Just stick to the big show. There are several people in this world who think they are overly smart but when it comes to the show down they as usual are not in it. Be not deceived by promise, If you vote for the editor of this paper you of course know him and know he will not deceive you neither time. The man who shook his fist in Judge Jamison's face Because he was arguing his point against Mrs Nation deserves the severest rebuke. He must be from South Carolina. The business men of Topka have received enough visits from Mrs. Nation and hence she will board with Sheriff Cook for a while. Mrs. Nation, has done more injury to this city than can be repaired in a life time. How we like a man who has backbone. For many weeks the citizens of this city have been terrorized by a maniac in the form of a "home defender" when its not only one's right to defend home, but every one's, no one woman can run things in Topeka. As far as the editor of this paper is concerned we are very particular about your votes if you are not. We shall be guarded by the right. No bribe shall be given. If you are for us you are not going into bribery schemes. Mr. H. S. Nichols, whose card for councilman in this issue from 5th Ward, city of Topeka, is for Law and order. If nominated and elected he stands for the business interest of the city of Topeka and will do all he can to promote it. Mr, Gled for member of school board from third ward is one among Tpeka's best citizens if he is elected to the school board he will be equeal to all emergencies that may arise in that department Mr. Gleed is an able member of the law firm of Gleed Ware & Gleed, which is one of the greatest law teams in this city, in the Central bank building. Col. Hughes, is a good fellow in his mind, but his legs will not be long enough to defeat James Warner, for mayor. There are reasons why Mr. Warner should be nominated, first; because he is not a crank on no one hobby. Mrs Nation would make a good mayor for Prohibition, and Col. Hughes would make a good mayor to look after that only But J. S. Warner will enforce all laws and give us a business administration. We don't claim anything but we beieve we will run favorably if the field—are against us. Go to H. A Klauer for the bescigars highest grades made in Topeka. One of the selt-made prominent colored men in Topeka is 'Colonel' Fred L. Jeltz, of the well-known Topeka LEDGER. Mr. Jeltz has been conspicuously before the public for many years. Mr. Jeltz has announced his candidacy before the coming Republican primarier for the office of County Clerk. Mr. Jeltz has shied his castor in the ring in sober earnest, and is hard at work working up his chance for the nomination. At this date, he is the leading candidate for the office Editor Jeltz during his many years of codtrol of the LEDGER has aided a great many Republicans to secure important City and County offices. He has ever fulfilled any office in this county, Mr. Jeltz thinks that 'turn about' is fair play, and he now asks his hundreds of friends to help him to this position. It looks fair to us that they should do so. Mr. Jeltz gets up a spicy paper, He is certainly deserving of a great deal of credit for his success We predict that Cononel Jeltz will be around as big as life when the vote is couned in the Republican primaries—ex. J. W. PRIDDY. FOR SCHOOL BOARD, FIRST WARD. --- J. W. Pruddy, member of School Board from the First Ward, and the oldest member on the board in point of service, has been brought out by his friends as a candidate for continuing in the same position, owing to his experience and faithfulness in the past and a belief that he is better equipped to secure what is needed on the north side that any inexperienced new member could do. We earnestly solicit our readers and our people to give Mr. Pruddy their earnest support. W. H. WILSON For Re-election. One of the most prominent members of the school board from the Second ward is Mr. W. H. Wilson the prominent druggis. He has filled the position as member from his ward for five consecutive terms and he is now for re election with out opposition we are pleased to note the fact that Mr. Wilson is a capable member of our present board. Editor of this paper was specially invited to attend a conference of the Tuskegee College at Tuskegee Ala, Booker Washington's school Feb 20th but as the invasion conflicted with our business here during the municipal election we tendered our regrets but we hope to hear of a very satisfactory meeting for the promotion of the College.

D Eversole is a Candidate for member of city council he is a contractor by trade and a man well qualified for the place. Mr. W. S Chaney is a candidate for re-election to the office of councilman from 4th Ward, subject to Republican primaries. There are a number of people whenever they see a candidate they want something that is not just right. That which is legitimate is legitimate, but forever telling a man you are for him and forever striking him, such fellows will do you more harm than good There are times for all things and if a man is for you he will not go against you because you don't dance. A. D. Carter has purchased the Exchange and Restaurant at 813 Kansas avenue where he will in future conduct a fine place for the accommodation of the public. Mr. Carter is an experienced young man, and has for several years conducted business in this line. We are willing to stand most anything in this fight for success. Let the opposition say all they choose and predict defeat. Assurance is all right but it is not after all certain Hence there is no need to get excited on what a few fellows may say there is none sure of Heaven but those who are there. There is no reason why we fellows who are seeking fame at the hands of the public cannot be friendly we notice a disposition on the part of some of the contestants to be overly certain and selfish hence if we are defeated we will laugh. Judging from some reports we hear that our candidacy is not serious. The smart aleck that made such remarks will know more after the county election if he means he is from Missouri. If we young men don't learn good horse sense it is our own fault we should in future profit by our past experiences that is to be better men in the future than the past Mr. L. D. Eversole, Candidate for Councilman Topeka is alaboring man's friend he stands a good show if he concludes to make the race. Several years ago the proved his loyalty to the laborers by standing by them securing for them $1.50 per-day for 8 hours ladcr when they had been receiving only the $1.50 for 10 hours. He has been considering the proposition of making the race if he does he will be in the fight as a strong man. This world is getting very curious, the least small things one says and does is measured up against them. Hence it pays to be not too certain, but be carful all the time. WEALTHY COI ORED PEOPLE.

Topeka, Feb. 17—Sheriff Cook, of Shawnee county, at 1 o'clock this morning arrested Mrs. Maggie Cummins and her 14-year-old daughter, Edna, on a warrant issuer in Jefferson county, charging them with the murder of John Cummins, divorced husband of Mrs. Cummins. The crime is alleged to have been committed last Thanksgiving day at Grantville, the home of the Cummins, Edna, the daughter, is charged with putting polson in the coffee drunk by the father on that day which resulted in his immediate death. Mrs. Cummins is charged with instigating the crime. Cummins and his wife separated several months ago. Mrs. Cummins came to Topeka to live. He remained at Grantville and kept the family of children there. Edna, the daughter, did the house work. A week before Thanksgiving a divorce was granted the couple. Edna at once came to Topeka to visit her mother. She returned the day before Thanksgiving. The next morning she prepared her father's breakfast, and after he ate it he went to work in the stone quarry. He had just reached the quarry when he took violently ill, and died that day. The funeral was held the following day and the body buried at that place. the people of Grantville grew suspicious of the affair. In time the suspicions reached a brother in Kentucky. He wrote to the Whittaker boys, fruit dealers in Topeka, distant relatives, to investigate the matter. The body was examined and the stomach removed and subjected to a chemical analysis by Dr. J. T. Lovewell. The chemist found a lot of arsenic Mrs. Cummins, after the death of her divorced husband, went to Grantville and got the children and brought them to Topeka. They have been living there ever since. It is charged that the motive of the crime was that Mrs. Cummins could get hold of what little property her divorced husband had and also possession of the children. Mrs. Cummins and daughter both deny the harge. They were taken to Oskaloosa today to answer to the charge in the Jefferson county courts. GOMPERS WARNED Chicago Federation of Labor Will Not Congest to Consolidation of Unions COLLEGE OF CONFEDERATION OF CHICAGO, II., Feb. 17.—A warning was issued to President Samuel Gompers of the American Federation of Labor today to profit by the experience of the Knights of Labor and not continue to insist on the consolidation of unions and the centralization of power. The warning implies a threat that if the American Federation continues the course adopted at the Louisville convention of insisting on smaller unions uniting with the larger, the Chicago organization may withdraw from the national body. The position of the Chicago Federation of Labor is explained in a letter to President Gompers, which was drawn up and adopted at today's meeting of the local univ. Millionaire Swindled. Chicago, Feb. 18—Warren F. Springer, a millionaire property owner of Chicago, complained to the today that he had been swindled out of $3,400 in a deal concerning a mythical Colorado gold mine. The money was given to a man known here as W. J. Furno. In return, Mr. Springer was given 6,000 "shares" in the supposed gold mine. A man known as "T. D. Conners" is charged with impersonating a Denver broker, who answered Mr. Springer's telegrams inquiring about the mine, "verifying" all that Furno said about the alleged property. The latter, accompanied by his wife, who was with him, is believed to have ogre to New Orleans. The Nebraska Deadlock Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 18.—Only fifty-nine of the seventy-two Republican members of the legislature attended tonight's senatorial caucus. None of the eight original bolters were present. Six ballots were taken without result or important change. The sixth ballot was: Thompson, 35; Meikle-john, 21; Currie, 15; Rosewater, 14; Martin, 8; Hinsaw, 7; Crouse, 6; Harlan, 2; Kinkaid, 1. The caucus adjourned until tomorrow. Child Burned to Death. Guthrie, O. T., Feb. 18.—word reached here today of an awful accident near Coyle, fourteen miles northeast of here, in which the 8-year-old daughter of G. W. Dobson lost her life. She was playing near a prairie fire and her clothing accidentally caught fire, and before help could arrive she was roasted to death. Mr. Dobson is a prominent farmer and brother to the register of deeds of this county. Henry Youtsey, sent to the Pen at Frankfort, Ky., for alleged complicity in the assassination of Gov. Goebel has been given an easy job. He wears a calico apron and works as an assistant cook.

Murdock, editor of the Daily Eagle, is in a critical condition. A month ago he was attacked by la gripe, and during his sickness two of his brothers-in-law died. He was much attached to them, they, like himself, being editors for over forty years in Kansas. The sorrow consequent upon their death aided the gripe materially in bringing on the apparently general collapse that has ever taken him. CARRIE NOW IN JAIL. She is a registered in Topeka For Mal- icious Trespass. THE COURT DEMANDS A PEACE BOND Mrs. Nation Refuses to Give It and is Remanded to Jail—Other Crusaders Also Arrested. Topeka, Feb. 18.—Mrs. Nation is now in the county jail as a result of her trial on a piece warrant before Judge Hazen today. The warrant was sworn to by the Moeser Cold Storage Company, into whose plant Mrs. Nation entered yesterday morning. Mrs. Nation acted as her own attorney in the trial. Judge Hazen placed her under $2,000 bond to keep the peace, and ordered her to appear before him at the next term of court. Mrs. Nation refused to give bond, and said she would go to jail. She is now detained in the hospital room of the county jail, where she will probably remain for some time. In the city court this morning arguments were given in the case brought against Mrs. Nation by the proprietor of the wrecked "Senate" saloon. Judge McCabe said he would take the matter under advisement until Thursday. It is not likely that Mrs. Nation will be able to give bond. Her friends have been advised that Judge Hazen will order her release only on promise to send her to her home at Medicine Lodge. Judge Hazen tonight placed Cal McDonald Mrs. Rose Crist and Miss Madeline Southard under peace bonds, on complaints made by the Moesers. McDonald's bond is $1,000; the others are $500 each. The judge delivered a scathing address to the Nation lieutenants. He expressed the opinion that Mrs. Nation is insane, and said those persons who encourage her methods of reform ought to be ashamed of themselves. Moeser also began suits for malicious trespass against Mrs. Nation, Mrs. Crist, Miss Southard, Cal McDonald, Frank Murphy, Dr. Eva Harding, Mrs. A. B. Chadwick and Rev. F. W. Emerson. The case against Mrs. Nation brought by the proprietors of the Senate saloon, whose place was wrecked about ten days ago, was resumed in the city court today. The court room was crowded. W. I. Jamison appeared for the state to prosecute the case, and J. M. Dumenil for Mrs. Nation. The table between the two attorneys was piled high with law books, and Mrs. Nation's attorney had, besides legal books, many quotations from the Bible. Mrs. Nation sat behind her attorney and spent most of her time writing upon a small tablet. The argument was commenced by the defense and Attorney Dumenil cited many authorities. In speaking of the first case as a parallel to Mrs. Nation's smashing, he said: "It is found in the Bible in the temple. We find by Matthew that Christ entered the temple and abolished that nuisance." He cited the New Hampshire law, which says that the private party abating a nuisance does not have to do it in a manner best suited to the other party. That means that the liquor does not have to be carefully poured out. The New Hampshire statute says that public nuisances may be abated by the acts of individuals. At this point Mrs. Nation left her seat and opened a window. The cold wind swept in and blew the papers about the courtroom. "Close that window and open it from the top," said Judge McCabe to Marshal Ross. Mrs. Nation took her seat and Ross closed the lower sash and opened the top sash. Mrs. Nation rushed back and threw up the lower sash again. "Take your seat," commanded the judge. "The marshal will take care of the windows." "He didn't do it," snapped Mrs. Nation. "You sit down and tend to your business and I'll tend to mine," retorted the marshal, as he closed the window. Mrs. Nation was surprised. She is in the habit of having her own way and this was rather a shock to her. She looked at Ross too surprised to say a word. Mrs. Nation became restless as the trial progressed and paid but little attention to the lawyers, but walked about the courtroom whispering with the spectators and the members of the Home Defenders. Lawyer Dumenil referred to the New Jersey equity report, which stated that a man had the right to abate a common nuisance without proceeding through the courts, but afterward, if the court found that he had made a mistake and that the place was not a common nuisance, he could be recovered against. The court took a recess for ten minutes and when the argument was resumed Mrs. Nation's walked about the courtroom and, detecting the fumes of tobacco, said: "Someone is smoking here. Better stop it, for it smells bad." Assistant County Attorney Jamison, a colored lawyer, began his argument for the prosecution at 11 o'clock, after the defense had had an hour and a half. Attorney Jamison said the charge of destroying property brought against Mrs. Nation does not come under the head of malicious mischief. He argued that the law of destroying property was the one under which Mrs. Nation was arrested. That, if Mrs. Nation was not guilty, then everyone had a right to do as she did. Judge McCabe, when the argument was closed, said: The question is new and important, and entitles it to a thorough consideration. I shall take such time as seems necessary to me, as we have no decision of our own supreme court. The court will announce a decision Thursday morning at 9 o'clock." Mrs. Nation was tried on the peace warrant before Judge Hazen in the district court at 1:30 o'clock. this afternoon. The trial was a result of her crusade Sunday morning, the warrant being sworn out by the Moeser ice and cold storage plant, one of the places she visited and at which place she was arrested by the sheriff. Will Moester, one of the partners, was the first witness called. After answering all questions put by the county attorney, Mrs. Nation, who acted as her own counsel, opened fire with all manner of questions. Objections were offered by the county authorities, most of which were sustained. Other witnesses followed in a like manner, and she kept up a hot fusillade of questions, wanting to know how many hatchets were used in breaking in. "What do you keep in your place? Isn't it a fact that you keep all kinds of hell broth?" etc. Mrs. Nation could not understand the sustaining of the many objections, and said she did not think the judge was *m*r with her. The courtroom was packed with jointists and Home Defenders. Mrs. Nation's bond was fixed at $2,000. She refused to give it and was taken to jail. BACKSET FOR KING EDWARD Parliamentary Majority Cut Down to Forty-Five-The Cause Alleged. London, Feb. 19.—The first division of the first parliament of King Edward VII, which took place yesterday, resulted in cutting down to forty-five the government's normal majority of 130. The interest caused by this unexpected event was heightened by Mr. Winston Spencer Churchill's first speech at Westminster, and by Mr. Chamberlain's heated defense of his own policy. The extraordinary slimness of the majority of this strongest British government of modern times was the result of Lord Cranborne's refusal to answer questions relating to the government's foreign policy without previous notice from the questioners. Ex-Governor Stone III. New York, Feb. 18—Ex-Governor William J. Stone, of Missouri, is ill with a severe attack of gripe at the Hoffman house. The house physician today called in consultation Dr. Stanway. Governor Stone said he wanted to go home immediately. Both doctors absolutely refused to let him travel or even to leave his room. He has been confined to his bed for two days. Many prominent politicians called at the hotel today, including David B. Hill, who had just arrived in town. Tonight physicians say Governor Stone is improving, and they hope in a few days he may be able to travel. Governor Stone said he was here on legal business and knew nothing about political affairs. He said important business demanded his return home, and he was therefore greatly disturbed when ordered by physicians to remain in bed. Convicted of Stealing City Water. Chicago, Feb. 18.—Harry Boore, superintendent of the Continental Packing and Provision Company, was found guilty today of stealing 187,000 gallons of water from the city mains in the stock yards district for the use of the packing company with which he is connected. The value of the water was fixed at $14.96, and Boore, therefore, will be given a sentence for petit larceny, the punishment for which is a fine not to exceed $,000 and imprisonment not to exceed one year. Boore's trial and conviction was the first resulting from a ree t examination of the city water main in the stock yards district, in which it was discovered that the mains had been illicitly tapped in many places and millions of gallons of water stolen. Controls Its Quotations Milwaukee, Wis., Feb. 18—Judge Seaman, n the federal court, handed down his decision today in the Chicago board of trade injunction suit against five Milwaukee commission firms to restrain the posting of the Chicago grain quotations. The court grants an injunction restraining all the defendants expt the C. C. Rogers Company from using the quotations, unless they are secured with the sanction of the board of trade. In the case of the Rogers Company, the plea that the quotations are legitimately secured is sustained. The judge said that the charge that the Milwaukee firms were "bucket shops" was not sustained. The decision upholds the property right of the Chicago board of trade in quotations. Ants as Gardeners Professor W. M. Wheeler has just added to our knowledge of ants' ways by an interesting observation on the manner in which certain ants have acquired, and contrived to satisfy new gastronomic tastes. It appears that the species in question devotes itself to the task of mushroom growing, and as that art involves certain practices necessary for the development of the fungus, it is specially interesting to note how the insects cultivate their dainty. In the first place, a "bed" has to be provided in which the spawn of the fungus may grow, and this condition, it seems, is carried out by the ants making a kind of pulp of leaves. The mushroom bed must consist of dead and decaying matter, hence the use of the leaves which the insects chew into pulp. The fungus sprouts then settles in this bed, and the threads of the future mushrooms are soon developed. Then, we are told, great attention is paid to the growth by the ants, so that it develops excreences, said to be nuual in the fungus, and on these swellings the ants feed. If we care to think for a moment of all that this curious habit involves in the way of developing the knowledge and instinct wherewith to cultivate the fungus, we may well feel tempted to declare that the ways of ant evolution are past finding out—London Chronicle. When the question came in her way, Queen Victoria was always the friend and defender of the Hebrew race. It will be remembered that she made that great Hebrew, Benjamin Disraell, the English Premier. Senator Platt of New York has an aversion to tobacco which amounts almost to a monomania. No one is allowed to smoke in his committee room at the capitol, and more than one offending visitor there has had his cigar taken from his mouth and thrown out of a window. SHOTHER LOYER. Fay Dorie is Dangerously Wounded by Kansas City, Mo., Feb. 18.—Fay Doyle, son of Dr. T. Doyle, proprietor of a drug store at the northeast corner of Fifteenth and Charlotte streets, was shot and seriously wounded shortly before noon yesterday by Catherine Davis, a trained nurse, who resides with a Mrs. Holland at 1334 Harrison street. Mr. Doyle, who manages his father's drug store, was at work behind the prescription case when Miss Davis entered. They were both friends, and he continued his work while she stepped to the telephone to call up someone. Just before she used the 'phone the bell rang and she answered it. The call was for Mr. Doyle. Miss Davis called him to the 'phone. While he was standing at the telephone with his back to her, talking, the shot was fired. The ball struck just beneath his right shoulder blade and lodged in the tissues near the spinal cord. Doyle turned at the report of the revolver and began feeling at the back of his coat to see if a hole had been made through it. He was not aware that he had been shot until he removed his coat, when the discovery was made that his shirt and underclothing were saturated with blood. He began to grow taint and was taken to his rooms over the drug store, where he was attended by Dr. Wedding. Whether the shooting was a deliberate attempt on the life of her lover or whether it was purely accidental is a question that the courts will have to decide. Miss Davis tells such a straightforward story in regard to the shooting, and this, together with the fact that she but recently attempted to commit suicide by taking morphine, leads many to believe her story. Miss Davis did not try to escape, but remained in the drug store until Patrolman Peters arrived from Nd. 4 police station. She was taken to No. 4 station and later taken to police headquarters and placed in the charge of the police matron. Miss Davis talked readily of the shooting and told this story: "I have been in Kansas City for three years," she said. "When I first came here I secured a position as clerk with the Parke-Davis Wholesale Drug Company, and it was while I was employed there that I made the acquaintance of Mr. Doyle. He used to order all the drugs for his father's store and it was on these occasions that I first met him. We soon became good friends and were much together after that. While we never talked of marriage, I at least, thought that there was an understanding to that effect between us. But his mother objected to his going with me, so I left Kansas City and went, to Denver, where I became a nurse in the Sisters of Mercy convent. "Three or four months ago Mr. Doyle wrote to me and asked me to come back. I did so and took a room at Mrs. Holland's on Harrison street. His mother still objected to our going together and we talked something of removing to some other place and starting a little drug store. But he would decide on nothing definite, so I became despondent. I decided that I would kill myself and not bother him any more. Three weeks ago I tried to end my life by taking morphine, but I was discovered and relieved before the drug had taekn effect. I determined then that I would repeat the attempt at the earliest opportunity. "Last Saturday I went to the Union depot with my mind set upon leaving Kansas City. I didn't know where I was going and didn't care just so I got away from here. I had but $5 in my pocket and thought I would go as far as that would take me and then end my life. I changed my mind, and instead of buying a ticket I went across Union avenue and purchased a revolver at a pawn shop for $2.50. I then went back to my room on Harrison street. "This morning I went to Mr. Doyle's drug store and determined to take me to some other city with him or not, and if he was not going to take me, I was going to kill myself right then and there. While I was waiting for him to be at leisure the telephone bell rang and I called him to the 'phone. It was while he was standing there talking that I decided to end everything once for all by shooting myself. I had the revolvevr in my coat pocket. I stepped back, putting the show case between us so that he could not turn suddenly and prevent me from taking my life. Just as I went to take the revolver from my pocket, it went off, and I didn't know that Mr. Doyle was shot until he took off his coat. I am sorry it happened, and hope his injury will not prove serious. The bullet that he received was intended for myself. I wanted to die so badly." Miss Davis is a remarkably pretty girl 23 years of age. She was well dressed yesterday, being attired in a brown gown and a long tan automobile coat. During her recital tears trinkled down her cheeks and she was evidently miserable and despondent. My Friend Paderewski. One evening last season, at a famous restaurant in New York, Paderewski happened to be dining there at the same time that the New York Goldsmiths' and Jewellers' Association were having a celebration dinner in another part of the building. At the close of the feast the pianist made his way to the cloak room, and was busy washing his hands when one of the other party came in on the same mission. The newcomer stared at the fair-haired Pole and at last, as he dashed his hands through the water, said: "You're very like Paderewski; do you know him?" "I am Paderewski," rejoined the maestro, mostedly, "What!" whooped the newcomer, and, dashing at him, shook both his hands without waiting for the ceremony of wiping his own. Before there was any time for Paderewski to escape, the man from the goldsmiths' dinner rushed to the door and, calling to the chiefs of his party, yelled: "I say, Brown, Jones, Roberinson, Smith, all of you come here: I want to introduce you to my friend, Paderewski." LOOKSBADFORCHINA Count Von Waldersee 'Will Invade Western Provinces, Peking, Feb. 17.—A few days age Count von Waldersee wrote to the generals under his supervision, notifying them to have all their available troops ready in two weeks for an expedition lasting eighty days. Today General Chaffee and General Voyron the French comander, received letters asking for their co-operation and expressing a desire to know what forces they can spare. In commencing his letter to General Chaffee Count von Waldersee says: "Owing to the unsatisfactory nature of the negotiations for peace, and also to circumstances rendering such a course desirable, it will probably be necessary to resume military operations on a large scale, especially toward the west." It is not thought likely that General Chaffee will agree to such a plan without instructions from Washington. The French commander, however, is expected to do so. Count von Waldersee's plans contemplated offering the command of the expedition in the first instance to Sir Alfred Gaselee, the British commander, but it is believed that in view of his recent illness, General Gaselee will inform Count von Waldersee that he is unable to accept the command. In that event it will be offered to General Voyron, provided the french fall in with the arrangements, which Count von Waldersee believes will be the case. Such an offer to General Voyron would have the effect. it is thought, of overcoming the differences which have existed between the French and the Germans, because it would be a demonstration of Count Waldersee's confidence in the military ability of the French contingent. Ere long an announcement is expected that the destination of the proposed expedition is Sianfu. The foreign envoys believe its object to be to compel the Chinese to accept the terms of the powers. It is thought that when it becomes known that the expedition has started the imperial court will hasten to comply immediately with all the demands of the joint note. The military are much elated at the prospect of active service. Many believe the Chinese army will strive to the uttermost to protect the province of Shensi against invasion. London, Feb. 18.—The Pekin correspondent of the Times, wiring Saturday, says: "A general order was issued today directing the forces under Count von Waldersee's command to prepare to take the field, the idea being an expedition in the spring to Tal Yuen Fu (province of Shan Si) or further. The position is full of difficulties. It requires firmness and patience and not an impetuous expedition into the interior, which is only likely to drive the court further westward." RAN INTO A WASHOUT Three Passengers Killed in a Wreck at Mills City Nevada. San Francisco, Cal., Feb. 17.—The east bound limited express which left here at 10 a. m. yesterday was wrecked at Mills City, Nev., last night. The fireman and three passengers were killed. The conductor, he brakeman, two postal clerks and one passenger were injured. The dead: Adolph Bissenger and wife, San Francisco. Clinton R. Coulter, San Francisco. B. L. Whittaker, fireman. Injured: Conductor Markle. Miss Bissenger, whose parents were among the killed. All the passengers were badly shaken up. The train ran into a washout which was caused by a cloudburst. All trains east and west were abandoned for forty-eight hours. Adolph Bissenger was a member of the firm of Bissenger & Co., dealers in wool, leather and hides. Clinton R. Coulter was the superintendent of the Pacific Coast Supply Company. Business in U. S. Patent Office In the late report of the commissioner of patents he recommends to congress that they should provide means for prevent or checking the tendency now prevailing for keeping applications pending in the office for a long period of years. He states that there are patents now pending which were filed as far back as 1880, which, if placed on market in that year and patented in 1901 would have practically given the inventor the monopoly in that particular article for a period of thirty-eight years instead of the statutory period of seventeen years, for which patents are granted. Furthermore, he claims that such provision by congress would tend to increase the value of the patents themselves because the examiner could examine the record more thoroughly and thus practically insure the validity of each patent issued.

How a High Woman Would Be Voting Regulations Women are to preside at the Republican primaries in Kansas City, Kas. This, of course, is as it should be. Women are allowed to vote in several states, but there will be a true reform until they are in complete control of the election machinery, and the Kansas City innovation is a step in the right direction. At the same time, it is well to remember that these new responsibilities must naturally suit in new methods of procedure in order that the refining influence of woman may have full saying there must be a change in the rules, and it is gratifying to note that this important fact has not been overlooked by the sisterhood. A delightful little woman who thinks it would be just too lovely for anything to officiate in the primaries already has prepared few rules which she proposes to submit to the ladies of the Kansas town merely by way of suggestions. The following are some of the more important: "Voters who are not personally known to the ladies may secure an introduction by applying to the master of ceremonies. "After an introduction it shall not be permissible to talk longer than ten minutes with the ladies before voting. "Tea will be served between 4 and 5, when no gentleman will be insecure enough to try to vote. "Any official caught making 'goo' eyes will be need a box of boons. "A handsome man shall not be allowed any more votes than a home one. "The lady at the ballot box shall have the privilege of refusing to recognize, either officially or unofficially any would-be voter who does not move in her set." Of course, the rule relating to handsome men will meet with opposition in many quarters, but the lady question assists (although regretfully) that she thinks it ought to be forced—The Chicago Post. Indigo to be Displaced British manufacturers have thought it worth while to study progressive chemistry of aniline naphthol dyes, says a London correspondent to the Paris Messenger. The have been content to leave the open to Germany, and the result is obvious. Time was when British line dyes commanded the market the world. It is impossible to understand why that market was ever like Nothing but indifference can account for it, and then we have to explain it indifference, which is impossible any rate, the market has gone. there is not an aniline or naphthol used at the present day which is produced in Germany. The industry of the manufacture of British dyes is dead, and the industry in British India of the growth of india will follow it. Behar and other processes will feel it, and it will mean the ruin of innumerable natives who have lived year after year on the product of indigo. Dying with indigo however, is at best a clumsy and prolonged process. It means immersions in various compounds, according to the material of the fabric to be dyeed. Like indigotine, the new German dye provides for a single bath. So condent are the manufactures of the success of their product that a considerable bleum has been spent on the necessary productive plant, and the new year will witness the advent of the new dye. Save as a specialty, indigo will not last beyond a year or two and then another British industry will have succumbed to German competition. French Use of Oil The French cook uses salad oil with discretion and also with great effort in many ways, of which the American housekeeper is ignorant. In particular is its assistance important in the concoction of certain soups and sauces. A teaspoonful of oil, for an ample, to very quart of split pea, potato, or other soup lacking fatty stock added just before the soup is taken from the fire, greatly increases its flavor and richness. The oil, to may be used as a substitute for latter in compounding a brown or white sauce. Any kind of cold meat that to be creamed or recooked in any way is improved by having oil poured on it, in the proportion of a tablespoon to a cupful of the meat, at least an hour before the latter is put in the blaze or sauce pan.

Harrison's lunch Ex-President Benjamin Harrison one of the ablest men who has flipped in our public life, has always been handicapped by his unresponsive, manner. When he was in the seat at Washington, D. C., in the early 1800s he always brought his lunches to committee room. He carried it in a coat pocket and would eat it when went on with his work. One day he got it out as usual from his pocket he looked it all over uretry, for did look rather flat and dubious. finally remarekd to those near by he guesed he must have sat on it and dentally. One of the colleagues—who had recently been ignored Harrison —spoke up impulsive "Well, by Jove, Harrison, if you've on it, I bet you a sixpence it is fzen solid," and of course a shout up from the whole committee.

THE EDWARDS OF ENGLAND. They Have Proven Themselves Strong Vigorous Rulers. In assuming the title of King Edwards VII, the new ruler of the British nation adds another to the historic list. Edwards who have figures so large in the traditions of England. The custom to most monarchies retain the same name in successive reigns is a precedent which has been England seven Edwards of vau-ous hong. The first, second and third Edwards were Plantagenets; the fourth and fifth were of the house of sixth was a Tudor. park and the sixth was a Tudor. Of the six monarchs the chief honour must go to two, although the roles assigned by these two were sufficiently great to make the name respected of the emblem. Edward I, the son of Henry III, and the worthiest of all the Plantagenet kings, has been acceptable ruler, and during the years his reign—from 1272, when he assisted the throne at the age of 33, to—the carried on with splendid energy his awarded policy of bringing the whole island of Great Britain under the dominion of the sovereign of England. His efforts in this direction met with only partial success, but in his favorite projects, the establishment of a stable monarchical system and the improvement of practical measures of legislation, he succeeded immirably. Edward II who discredited his father's counsels and made poor use of his fortunes, has but two claims to celebrity—his overhelming defeat by Bruce at Bannockburn and his subsequent deposition and murder by the order of his wife, Edward III. however, who followed from 1237 to 1377, showed his strength and his hardy nature almost as victors as the black ruler, while the monarch which he and his son, "Edward, the Black Prince," won at Creacy is名 illustrious in English history. It is the first and third Edward, indeed who gave its luster to the name the new King of England now years. The fourth Edward's stormy brought out certain traits of怒ry and courage, but disclosed the degree to be both cruel and dissolute; Edward V. the ruler who was deposed after V. the less than three months and is said to have been murdered in the Tower, was a mere boy, while Edward VI. the consumptive youth who many years later, was a mere appetit in the hands of his advisers, is to be admitted, however, that the awards who lived to reign for any considerable length of time were in the main strong types of the fengal monarch and the two already specified rulers of deserved distinction, Edward VII. is the first of his name has to face issues remote from usual problems, but like several of his predecessors of the name he comes to the throne with a war on his hands and at a time when many menacing influences make the question of Englands future greatness a profoundly interesting problem. In general it may be assumed that this conservative, experienced and courtly man of 60 will give his people a reign which will be little to England and as worthy a respect as that of any of the Edwards who came before him.—The Chicago Record. Thirty Acres a Minute. Only a very few of those who for many months past have been arguing or against expansion have more than a faint idea of how the United States have expanded during the 117 years that have clasped since Great Britain, by the treaty of 1783, recognized our sovereignty over the land we claimed north of the Spanish and east of the French possessions. During all of those years we have expanded at the rate of thirty acres of land for each minute. Our 3,000,000 of inhabitants started in 1783 with 558,679,360 acres of land, which satisfied them for twenty years. Then, in 1803, under an agreement with France, they consumed the Louisiana purchase, and more than doubled our territory by adding to it the 745,103,360 acres that each from the Mississippi to the Pacific, including the mighty expanse of rain and mountain that falls into arid slopes, dropping to the great over, extending from Canada to the northern lines of California, Nevada and Utah, embracing parts of Kansas and the Indian territory. Sixteen years passed, and in 1819 we received Florida from Spain. It included what are now southern portions of Alabama and Mississippi, and added the union 45,719,680 acres. Then, in 1845, came the annexation of Texas, with 170,247,040 acres. Three years after we had the Mexican cession 490,563,840 acres, that gave us the states of California, Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, and parts of Colorado, Kansas and Oklahoma. To all of this was added Alaska, in 1867, with 383,646,720 acres, and on top of this, we recently, came the Phillipines, orto Rico, Tutilla, Guam and Hawai- partly as a result of the Spanish war adding 98,492,160 acres. All of these make 1,903,772,800 acres after the treaty of 1783. Since then there have been 61,495,200 minutes which, divided into the number of acres, gives thirty and a large fraction of an acre for each minute. During those 117 years the population of the expanding territory has grown from 800,000 to 84,522,029, which is an increase of four inhabitants for each tree minute. — Chicago Chronicle Mme Modieska has received word on Poland that the political charges against her have been withdrawn, and she may return home.

What happier life could one live than on the beautiful and well kept farm? Surely there is no occupation more pleasing and healthful to one adapted to it than that of farming and stock raising. The work is no harder than other vocations, and the pleasure there is connected with the building and modeling of a farm is one that is most gratifying. A farm whether large or small, should be a universe to its owner. Everything constructed about it should be done with a view of beautifying the landscape and making home an Eden. A man in our opinion, could leave nothing of more benefit, to prosterity than a farm with ideal buildings, durable fences beautiful green fields of waving grass, stately trees all in all, a farm that might be considered a fit place for the home fastidious. One spot on earth so beautifully ornamented in a community would lead to the improvement of others and they to other and improvement on one farm might cause an entire neighborhood to grow in pride until the community would be renowned for its beautiful homes and well improved farms. The rush of farm life does not last the year round. There is no vocation in the industrial world that gives a man so much self-indep ndence as the farm. During the growing season the rush on a farm and the work is telling on the nerves. What an ivigorating tonic it is to the man who has worked hard at his crops through the long days of summer to look into his bins and find them bursting with grain when the harvest is over! It is something to swell a man with pride to be rewarded with a good crop for his labors. Then there are the cattle, hogs, sheep and horses and poultry to delight the eye and add to the bank account. These should always be growing on the farm, and a maw who takes pride in his live stock and care of his growing grain and improves his farm and buildings is certainly doing a noble part in the progress of civilization. ABOUT THAT DISSATISFIED BOY ON THE FAKM. Concerning that boy who does not think the farm suited to him. Have you ever thought over the matter what might be the probable cause? Have you kept him at work sixteen hours a day and denied him the pleasures of a vacation? When there was a picnic in your neighborhood or a circus in town did you give him money and tell him to go and enjoy himself? Another thing that may be a factor in making a farm life disagreeable to your boy is this: Have you ever given him a pig, a colt or a calf and allow him to care for it and when it has grown to a valuable animal, sell it and appropriate the money to your own use? These things make boys hate the farm and loose confidence in everything connected with it. Give the boy something that he can call his own and encourage him in making as much out of it as possible, and in a short time you will hear him whistling as he goes about his work in a manner that will make your heart glad. If you can afford it, give the boy a horse and buggy. He will not abuse such a luxury, and it will help to make a useful man of him. A boy that is never allowed to have a day to himself is very apt to think he is entitled to t, and will in a very short time reach the conclusion that the farm is no place for him. FARMER HELPS OUT A RAILROAD COMPANY. "I have heard of some strange and curious expedients that have been used to clear the track in cases of railroad wrecks," said a well-known railroad official recently, "but the method used on a small railroad not far from Baltimore a few years ago to clear the tracks and, incidentally, saves a fine engine from serious damage, was the most original I ever heard of. "The wreck had been caused by iceforming on the rail from an overflowing tank near a trestle. The train had two engines and the cars had run out on the trestle and dropped over. The rear engine was left standing half sidewise on the trestle which was thirty feet high. It seemed as if the touch of a man's hand would cause it to topple over and it blocked the road, which was only single tracked, and the wrecking car with its derrick could not be used. 'If we only had something soft to drop it on and then hoist it back,' said one official, 'we could manage all right.' This remark gave a farmer of the neighborhood an idea. He offered to sell his big stock of corn folder. The plan was to pile the fodder from the ground underneath the trestle to within a few feet of the track and then topple the engine over. The plan worked well, and owing to the elasticity of the fodder the engine was not damaged in the least."—Baltimore Sun. WONDERFUL RECORD OF A KANSAS COW. WONDERFUL RECORD OF A KANSAS COW. Mr. Nathaniel Brown of Lyndon, more commonly answering to the short-cut of "Nate," has a wonderful cow, and she is on the market for sale, which fact accounts, no doubt, for the reason he is now singing her praises, says the Herald. She is seven years old, and he has owned her since the day of her birth, and has educated her to his own liking. During the past year he has kept books on her and knows exactly the sum of money she has earned, and says that besides providing milk and butter for his family they have sold milk and butter amounting to $54, and a calf for $10; and on one occasion churned the cream from seven milkings, and sold the butter to Ollie Fleming, which weighed six and a half pounds. STARTLING CAREER OF MISSOURI FAMILY. A remarkable birt is reported from Miller county, Missouri, says the Barton County Democrat. Mrs Henry Smith, wife of a tinmaker at that place, gave birth to five boys at one time. They are reported well and weigh a total of thirty pounds. Smith has a remarkable family. He has been married less than seven years and is the father of sixteen children. Only once has there been one child at a single birth—two pairs two sets of triplets and the quinter just arrived. Nothing will pay the farmer greater dividends for his investments in grazing lands than to begin the raising of mules. A man who has 100 acres of pasture land can make no mistake breeding every mare on his farm to a good jack. Mules are going to be mules by the time the present crop of colts grow old enough for the market. It is said that one can not ride through the rural districts of England Scotland and find a farm where no sheep are kept. To find a farm in England without sheep is much of a surprise to Englishmen as it is for an American to find a farm in the Central West with sheep. Why this section does not raise more sheep is a mystery hard to explain. If they can be kept on English soil worth an annual rent of $10 per acre and a profit made from them, why can not good money be realized by their keep in this country, and especially in Kansas? BOOKKEEFFING SHOULD BE FOLLOWED OF THE FARM. Bookkeeping on the farm is perhaps the most neglected of any duty evolved from the management of the farm. There is no business concern of any dimensions that does not require a carefully recorded account of every transaction. The same is true of the farm but it is sadly neglected by fully three-fourths of the men engaged in the business of farming. It is absolutely necessary to keep a strict account of every business transaction if you are to know where the profit and loss comes in. By a careful system of keeping books a farmer can soon learn what portions of his farming enterprises are paying and what are running him in debt. Then, if he is wise and a thorough business man he will discard the things about the farm that do not pay. Or if he has a love for some particular fad that has proven unprofitable he can bend his energies to make it profitable. If you have never kept an account of your business begin to do so and you will be surprised and pleased with the result. There are 50 towns in Oklahoma and 18 of them each have a population of over 1,000. Guthrie and Oklahoma City each have over 10,000.
