DO RIGHT--KNOW THAT YOU ARE RIGHT; E AR NOMAN; BUT RENDER; JUSTICE TO ALL. There seems be a good many believers down this way for instance look our announcements over. Two years from now Dan Anthony Jr, of Leavenworth will do a little promising along the 1st or fourth Congressional district, of kans. We are tired of promises now when the senatorial contest is over perhaps there will be a large number of congressional candidates for congress who will dislike the idea of this promise business. You may not like us but we have a newspaper of our own and not one cent against it. Hence you will be made respect it if you do not respect us. Capt. J. T. Wintrode announces himself a candidate for marshall of the city court of Topeka subject to the Republican primaries. He has served in that tried capacity as constable for years. He is known to a ll the business men of the county. His experience in this county makes him one of the most formidable candidates in the race. He is a member of the Lincoln. Post having served in the Rebellion Resides at 1031 Jackson street and is always glad to meet his friend. If elected to this place he will treat the common people as courteous, polite and generous as before. As it the usual custom New Years day many adopt new resolution, or "turn over a new leaf" as it may be called, which they intend to govern their life and conduct during the year and to their resolutions are guiding stars, and they are able to profit thereby. On the other hand there are those who resolutions are as thin as tissue paper and are torn assuader upon coming in contact with the most insignificant temptation. Ever human heart and mind should resolve to make this a year of peace, happiness and property. Let the Negro especially resolve to attend to his own business, go to work, tell the truth, stop lying and become a responsible citizen in the community in which he lives The twelfth annual dinner of the Kansas Day Club will be given at Security Hall in Topeka Thursday evening January the 29th 1903 8 o'clock.

Those who are anxious to attend should make no delay in the purchase of tickets, Tickets will doubtless be exhausted before the day of the dinner. the Secretary cau t observe orders for places unless accompanied by money for tickets. Clad Hamilton Secretary, In our opinion the case of the colored postmistress of Indianola, Miss. whohas been intimidated to the extent of resigning her position as postmistress on account of color, tells us that notwithstanding, we are living in a land which abounds with churches, school houses, colleges and Institutions of learning, there are still those among who have not yet advanced far in the school of civilization. Presidents Roosevelt decision in the matter cannot be mistaken. Most probably he will enforce the revised statutes in section 51518. The affairs of Uncle Sam is run by men of brain and common sense, and not by a few lawless men who tears not God neither regard the laws of the land and who would fail to respect their own women unless forced to compulsion. Col, Hughes we guess has left us again this week he turmed his back on his old friend the "Saate Ledger" the "Col." goes for a very smart man but sorry to say its all in his mind, ody buy "Col" H.A. Willis Mr H. A. Willis, who has announced himself as a candidate for city treasurer, is a veteran of the Civil War. He was taken prisoner and served in Andersonville prison for 9 months, having been pursued, captured and persecuted by the "rebels". He ascended at the age of 16 years. He ascended to the rank of First Lieutenant, having served in the army of the Potomac, Company I., 1st Maine Cavalry. He was mustered out in 1865. Coming to this city many years ago he engageo in the drug business in the 1st ward and has built up a wonderful trade among all classes. Mr. E. E. Lair Whose announcement appears in this issue of the Ledger is well known in Topeka. He has been at the head of the Pharmaceutical association of this city and also he has been a prominent member of the county and city Central Committees for several years. Mr Lair until recently was president of the republican Flambeau club of this city. If Mr. Lair is nominated and elected he will make a brilliant young man for the place. W. W. Harvey Prominent Attorney For Judge The citizens of Topeka are well acquainted with, Lawyer W. W. Harvey, who has lived in Shawnee county most of his past life; coming up a young man in small circumstances he went through our best state schools and entered teaching for many years when finally forsook that "idle profession" and engaged actively in the practice of law He is a well known republican, while Major A. M. Harvey, his brother, is or was a populist Mr. Harvey has a splendid law practice in the Columbian building this city, and if nominated and elected there will be no question about him being an excellent jurist Luther M. Nellis Mr. Luther M. Nellis, who is well known to all of our readers is a young man who has resided in the 4th ward the greater part of his life, in fact it is not necessary to give him any extensive mention. Mr. Nellis is a Topeka young man by birth, he has friends in every quarter and corner in this city. He has served many times on election boards of this city. He is highly respected and if he has an enemy it is wholly unknown. He is at present a member of the central committee from the fourth ward and also associate editor of the KANSAS FARMER. J. D. Pattison the Veteran for Treas Mr. J Pattison, former sargeant of the sanitary force of this city wants to be city treasurer to succeed M. M. Hale, the present incumbent who has held it four years Mr Pattison is an old soldier and decrepit from the ravages of rheumatism. He is a good man. For many years he was a leading hardware dealer of North Topeka and councilman from the 1st ward. It nominated and elected he will make a good treasurer. Frank Blanch for Councilman Frank Blanch, the well known contractor of this city and a resident of the fourth ward is a candidate for re-election as he has served only part of a term by the resignation of W. H. Chaney; he has consented to be a candidate for the office. Mr. Blanch lives in the 4th ward and is very prominent, if nominated he will make an active member of the city council. Rumor has been circulated that a few prominent church men, leaders and others are mixed up in an "awful scandal" and that their services are no longer needed it is strange that some of our "ministerial elites" cannot afford to appreciate well doing, tell you more later. A. M. Thomas Esq. Graduate from Annharbor Law school state of Michi will aspire for the office of judge of the city court, Mr Thomas has lived here and practiced 15 years and is a very successful Barrister it is understood that he will come before the republican primary for that office, Complimentary to Dr. F. G. Snelson. Dr. F. G. Snelson was sent to this pasture by the Bishop Shafter, not to make money, but to clear the church debt, he has done a marvelous work.

Fred C Slater who is a candidate for Jupge of the City court is one of Topeka promotei young lawyers if he is nominated and elected he will do his duty. Historical Society State House The action of the administration in discontinuing the post office a Indianola, Miss., because t the postmistress was forced to resigl under threats of violence, entirely justifiable and right. It is the effective way of dealing with such wanton proscription and cruelty. The case was one of ruthless race prejudice and persecution. The postmistress was a worbty competent and inoffensive colored woman who had held the office without reproach or objection for several years. She was first appointed under President Harrison and reappointed under President McKinley. She has thus served acceptable through two terms and part of another and no criticism was made of her capacity or attention to her duties. The leading white people were friendly without distinction of party, and it was only lately that the ruffianly element entered upon the persecution which compelled resignation to escape it. When the colored postmaster at Lake City, S. C., was murdered in the same lawless and vindictive spirit, the administration of President McKinley promptly discontinued the office. Every effort was made to convict the murders, but in vain. If the sealtiment of the community did not approve their crime neither did it permit their punishment. When the argument was made that the whole body of the people ought not to be dunished by being deprived of their mail facilities for the offense of a few, the answer was returned that a community which could not or would not protect a postmaster hearing the government commission was not entitled to a postoffice. After some years the office was re-established, but not until the locality had paid a hea vy penalty for its toleration of lawlessness. We do not suppose the majority of the people at Indianola approve the proscriptive course of of the low element. But they do not suppress it. They are either too cowardly or too indifferent. When they make it plain that any fit person commissione by the government can perform his or her duty with safety, they will probably get their office back. The administration has not been inconsiderate in its appoint ment. So far as was reasonable and proper it has respected the sentiment and even deferred to the prejudice of localities. As a rule it has limited its appointment of colored officers to communities where the feeling was not unfriendly. It will listen to respectful representation but it cannot permit its own authority and dignity to be flouted and cannot suffer those bearing its commission to be persecuted impunity. Ex. Charles Burieigh the great opponent of the slave trade, was once in the middle of one of his eloquent denunciations of slavery when a well zimed and rotten egg struck him full in the face. "This he said calmly, as he produced his handkerchief and wiped his aze, "is a striking evidence of what I have always maintained—that pro slavery arguments are unsound. Ex.

JELTZ KANSAS TOPEKA, KANSAS Dowey may as well have the powder put back in the cans. "American diplomacy" still seems to be doing pretty well, thank you. As the days begin to lengthen, however, the gas bills begin to shorten. Or should. Reports from Florida indicate that the orange crop has been constructively ruined. The new French minister to Venezuela is named Wiener. Punsters, do your wurst. With surpluses wiped out, the insurance agent will be shorn of half his incomprehensibility. Don't get mad at the man who tries to make a fool of you. He can't do it, unless you're one already. The natural result of a big financial spree would appear to be getting the banks full and money very tight. The Mad Mullah was "killed while saying his prayers." And yet people will persist in this dangerous habit. Probably Japanese China, which we have seen advertised for sale, is that portion which the powers have overlooked. The crown princess of Saxony and her very dear friend, the French tutor, talk of coming to America, the home of divorce. There is a growing suspicion that some of the crowned heads are anxious to take the conceit out of the Hague tribunal. The Dowager Empress of China and the boxers seem to have forgotten that lesson taught by the powers not so very long ago. The world looks with admiration at tireless Marconi silently devoting all his energy to increasing the efficiency of his wireless wonder. Throwing a clock at one's wife is adjudged good ground for divorce down in Connecticut. Besides, it is a reckless waste of time. The government is undecided as to the statesman whose face should go on the 30-cent stamp. Who would think that 30-cent statesmen were so few? It is feared that the wrong man may have been lynched in Kansas. But why bother over these things? It won't make any difference to him now. The news that John L. Sullivan finds Boston "a bum town, though I was born in it," will cause tears as big as beans to flow freely on Beacon street. Methodists, in spite of the "new Methodism," would be amply justified in doing a little shouting over their success in raising that $20,000,000 thank offering. By observing closely the case of Venezuela the Sultan of Turkey can see what he would experience if it were equally safe for creditors to go gunning for him. A woman in the postoffice department at Washington gave up her husband rather than lose her job. Husbands can be obtained without a civil service examination. It was most unkind for the Charleston News and Courier to commend the judgment of the new proprietor of the Boston Journal in reducing the price of the paper to one cent. An Indian named Bear Tracks has been elected a member of the South Dakota legislature. Other statesmen belonging to that body will do well to make him leave his tomahawk at the door. Gen. Alexis Nord, Hayt's minister of war, has entered Port au Prince with his army. We are informed that the army, who had a sore toe, rode in on a mule with a faraway look but lively heels. Frank Daniels writes to a western paper that he has found that in musical comedy the tendency is to eliminate tights. Now wait for the non-theatergoing ladies of the W. C. T. U. to rise up and protest. According to Mark Twain there are only 4 jokes in existence, all others being variations. The difficulty now would be in selecting the original 34 res perhaps Mark could do it. He'ssible for several of them. Mr. our Hobson of England has given alternationaire philanthropists the good men of being known as really barons or types of the robber is an impatient times. Well, this Kobson's choice on the original vice. A Baltimore man whose wife went ing to South De man whose wife went ing to beekota for a divorce is try home but her by getting one at establishire she has succeeded in men and her case. True sports-their megallant will of course put up new on the lady. Sir T spendomas Lipton says he will ing to a million dollars this time try- Thomas win the America's cup. If Sir makita keeps on he may succeed in guppy a synonym for dotty. T where's no denying the fact that grow the state of matrimony is a first education in itself, many men did it a long road to graduation day. A New York paper tells how a horse ute the green flowers on a woman's hat, and calls it an amusing incident. We doubt if the lady was amused. M. M. JAPOSLAV KOCIAN Another Polish violinist is attracting the attention of the music lovers of America. This rival of the great Kubelik is named Jaroslav Kocian, and already society is divided into camps, each loudly proclaiming its favorite the king of violinists. One of the foremost of American critics has this to say of Kocian's playing: "Is he as great as Kubelik? To compare may not be good form, either critically or socially, but the query is but a natural one, for nationality and musical origin as well as managerial advertisement, had associated the two young Bohemian violinists so closely in public mind that comparison was unavoidable. The preponderance of FIRST PRINTING BY STEAM. London Times Began To Use Invention in Year 1814. On Nov. 29, 1814, printing by steam was introduced to the world by the London Times. In a recent leading article referring to the event that paper speaks very rightly of the introduction as the "greatest improvement connected with printing since the discovery of the art itself." Ten years later the Times returned to the subject, and, after praising Koenig, who first applied steam power to printing, stated that the same inventor had accomplished the great improvement of printing the sheet on both sides, and by that means in the year 1824, 2,000 copies were printed in an hour with more case than 1,100 were in 1814. It was three years later before a book was printed by steam, the first being Dr. Elliston's second edition of the translation of Blumenbach's "Physiology," in 1817. WAS KIN TO WASHINGTON. Miss Catherine Thompson, Deceased, Claimed Noble Ancestry. Because she believed herself to be the grandniece of George Washington, Miss Catherine Thompson refused aid of the county officials at Waukegan, Ill., and died alone and in poverty. What basis the woman had for her claim of relationship to the first pres- ident is not known. The few people who knew her in Waukegan are, how- ever, convinced that she came of good family. She exhibited evidences of culture and refinement. Miss Thompson had received some aid from the county officials, but she A. refused later proffers of assistance from the same source, saying that the niece of the founder of the republic should not become a public charge. Latest in Apartment Houses. Shrewd New York business men who are to erect a great apartment house upon a conspicuous Fifth avenue corner propose to "solve the servant problem" by providing hot and cold "lifts" in which food and drink may be whisked from a central kitchen to the private dining rooms and separate elevators for waiters to serve and "clear away" meals. Chambermaids and cleaners will keep everything in order, and even valets and ladies' maids will appear upon call for those who require them. Jealous of Mahomet's Fame. Dr. Van Dyke's "Story of the Other Wise Man" was translated into Turkish, but the sultan's censor disapproved of its title. When asked to give the reason for his objection the censor gravely replied, "It is not true." "Why not?" asked the publisher's wondering agent. "Because there is no one wise but Mahomet," was the Turk's pliess retort. So the title was changed into something which might be translated "How the Other Scientist Was Left Behind." opinion seems to be that Kocian is not so great as is Kubelik. "A more exact estimate would probably be found in the statement that Kocian is as great as Kubelik in certain things and different from him in others. Technically, he is the equal of his remarkable predecessor—there was evident in his work that same absolute and astounding mastery over the mechanics of his instrument, the same unerring accuracy, the same ease and dexterity that made Kubelik's playing a thing never to be forgotten. And he has, if anything, an even greater beauty of tone—his tone being larger and fuller than was that heard from Kubelik when here last season. And yet Kocian does not affect his listeners as did his fellow countryman. "There is the same difference in the playing of the two violinists that there is in their personal appearance and personality. Kubelik had about him a suggestion of nervous energy; Kocian impresses as calm almost to the point of the phlegmatic. Kubelik in movement was almost awkward; Kocian has the graceful ease of a man of the world." JUSTICE SHIRAS TO RETIRE. Justice George Shiras, who has made a present of his valuable law J. Justice George Shiras. library to Yale university, of which he is a graduate, and who retires in February from the supreme bench, has occupied his present seat since October, 1892. He was born in Pittsburg and was educated at the Ohio university and later at Yale. He practiced law at Pittsburg until his appointment to the supreme bench. COLLEGE FOR WOMEN FARMERS Russian Minister of Agriculture Will Establish One. News comes from St. Petersburg that the minister of agriculture has decided to establish an agricultural college, to which none but women shall be admitted as students. Those who know the minister's views in regard to the proposed college say that there will be no institution like it in the world. His object, it is said, is not to teach women practical farming, but to enable them to acquire a thorough knowledge of agriculture, so that those among them who desire may eventually become either teachers in the numerous agricultural schools in Russia or overseers of imperial or private estates. Only those who have graduated from the ordinary schools will be admitted as students, and at the end of the college course a rigorous examination will be held and diplomas will be awarded to those who deserve them. Any student who desires to take up a special study at the college, such as poultry keeping or dairy farming, may do so. Senator Hoar's Joke A reporter saw senator Hoar coming out of the white house and said: "Can I say that you have been talking with the president on the trust problem?" Mr. Hoar beamed through his speeches as he replied slowly: "Let me see. Yes you could say that." "Then, senator," began the reporter, but the venerable Yankee interrupted: "Yes, you can say that, but it wouldn't be true," and he walked away chuckling. Sent Here for Education. More children of Mexican parentage are being sent each year to be educated in the United States, whereas formerly they were sent almost exclusively to Europe. No other single factor will do more to cement intimate business and social relations between the two nations—Mexican Herald. Pole Missing. Explorer Peary is busy making maps of the polar region. As in other guides to the pole, however, everything will be there but the pole itself. Danger Republican Illiteracy in America. Eight per cent of the population of this country is still illiterate. In Germany only 1 per cent of illiterates exist, and in Bavaria, Baden, Wurtenburg and Scandinavia there are no totally uneducated people. Health and Vegetarianism HEALTH Italians of the poorer class are noted for their general good health. This is to some extent attributed to the fact that the working people of Italy eat less meat than those of any other European nation. THE WINTER PLEASURE AND HEALTH RESORTS OF THE SOUTHWEST. Where shall one go at this season of the year to avoid the disagreeable features of a blustery Northern climate or to gain relief from the various ills that flesh is heir to? There is only one answer to the question; namely, take one of the Missouri Pacific's palatial trains to the winter pleasure and health resorts of the Southwest, particularly those in Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, Old Mexico and Southern California. It is only a step from the dreary rains, snows and blizzards of the East, Northeast and Middle West to the warm and pleasant winter climates of the Southwest. For the invalid and the pleasure seeker there are many inviting prospects. For these the health-giving and rejuvenating waters of the Ozark are bubbling in the green-walled basin of Hot Springs Mountain, the most picturesque spot to be found. It is safe to say that there is no all-the-year-round health and pleasure resort in the country that can compare with Hot Springs, Arkansas. It is the only National sanitarium in the United States owned and controlled by the government. It is as a fashionable pleasure resort that Hot Springs has attracted the greatest attention during the past decade. The idea that it is only the afflicted who go there long since been proven erroneous. It is the recognized popular winter resort of the best Northern travelers and the summer gathering place of the social clans of the sunny South. The man of small means can supply his needs and the man of wealth has opportunity to procure the luxuries he desires. For the tourist and health-seeker, who prefers the salt air and sunny shores of the Gulf, many attractions are offered at New Orleans, Galveston, Houston and points along the Texas coast, all reached by the Iron Mountain Route, where tarp fishing, the most royal of all sports for the angler, is at its very best during the winter season. Queer and quaint old San Antonio in another place that should be visited. It is the portal of the health belt of Texas, and is situated at the head of the valley of the exceedingly picturesque river bearing the same name, at the very edge of the foot hills of the Guadalupe mountains. 'Round about much diversity of amusement is found, and there are many points and places of historical interest to be seen, but it is in bizarre San Antonio itself that the text ensemble of diversion is most charmingly rounded. It is a modern marvel of cities, pre-eminently cosmopolitan and thoroughly unexpected. It chronicles its Spanish birth as unmistakably as its Texan growth. From San Antonio the traveler can take the train south to Laredo, the famous border town, on the banks of the Rio Grande River, and crossing the stream, place foot in the land of the Montezumas, the Egypt of the new world. Mucu time can be spent with profit and pleasure in this sub-tropical climate amid scenes replete with historic interest. From Laredo, also, the trip lies across New Mexico and Arizona, to Los Angeles, San Francisco and the famous resorts of the Pacific coast. All of these places are best reached by the Missouri Pacific Railway and Iron Mountain Route with connecting lines that go to make up the great Gould system of railroads. Bushmen and Apes. The Bushmen or low grade Hottentots on the plains of South Africa have a language which has been declared by Prof. Garner to be a close approximation to that of the higher apes. It consists of hissing, clicking and grunting sounds. STATE OF OHO, CITY OF TOLEDO, 188 LUCAS COUNTY Frank, the son of both the wife to the senior partner of the firm of F. J.

Cable dispatches designate the crown princess of Saxony as "quite eccentric" because she left her husband when that gentleman set up a second domestic establishment with an actress.

WHITE LABOR LITTLE SHORT OF FAILURE Not Enough Kaffirs and They Always Want More Pay—Proposition to Bring Chinamen Will Raise a Storm of Protest—London Papers Think Consent Will Never Be Given. LONDON.—(Special.) Nothing official has as yet transpired regarding the settlement of the vexed question of labor for the Rand, but the idea that Colonial Secretary Chamberlain will consent to the importation of Chinese laborers into South Africa threatens to raise a storm of protest. It is hinted in some quarters that the mine owners of the Transvaal so readily agreed to contribute $150,000,000 to meet the expenses of the war because they believed Mr. Chamberlain was ready to yield on the cooie question. The mine owners contend that the employment of white labor in the mines has proved a failure; that it is impossible to secure a sufficient number of Kaffirs, who are constantly demanding increased pay, and that it is urgently necessary to find at least 100,000 laborers effectively to restore the mining industry. Mr. Chamberlain, in a conference held with the mine managers at Johannesburg, Wednesday, said it had been forced upon him that the vital question was that of labor. He said he was not in favor of employing Uganda natives, for fear of introducing the dreaded sleeping sickness, which killed 30,000 persons last year. The secretary warned the mine managers that it would be extremely difficult to secure an unlimited supply of Asiatic labor, and, in conclusion, he said he was unable to pronounce a definite opinion on the matter. The idea of the mine owners is to import Chinese under the indenture system and to reship them to China after a term of years. The London papers Thursday morning decline to believe that Mr. Chamberlain will assent to such a plan and they point out the dangers experienced in the United States and elsewhere in the employmnt of the "yellow men." ICE GAVE WAY. Thirty Skaters Plunged Into Water at Washington. WASHINGTON—(Special.) While a large crowd was skating on the bathing basin near the Washington monument Thursday evening, the ice suddenly gave way and precipitated thirty or more persons into the water. Three persons lost their lives. Miss Jessie C. Thomas, a young woman 20 years of age, employed as a clerk in the bureau of ethnology, died at the Emergency hospital. The two dead men were identified as Arthur Wasserbach, an employee of the bureau of engraving and printing, and Henry C. Hamill, a clerk in the war department. Eight other persons were treated at the Emergency hospital and recovered. the emergency hospital and recovered. Wassberbach was a native of Washington; Hammill is from Michigan, and Miss Thomas, previous to a year ago, had lived in Frederick, Md. Hammill was about 45 years of age. There were probably 2,000 persons skating on the basin at the time of the accident. A hot water pipe from the engine room of the Washington monument empties into the basin near where the ice gave way. The skaters had been warned that the location was a dangerous one, but it is said they disregarded the advice given them to stay away from the vicinity, and when the crash came fully thirty men and women went through the broken ice and into the water. All were rescued except the two men whose bodies subsequently were rescued. Miss Thomas died a short while after her removal to the hospital. Officer Bannigan, of the Metropolitan police, jumped into a boat near at hand and, unaided, rescued seven persons. The police are satisfied that all those who were in the accident have been accounted for. Had Confederate Money. SOUTH M'ALESTER, I. T—(Special.) Luther Davis, a South McAleester negro, was arrested Thursday for trying to pass Confederate money. When searched, $10,000 of the money was found on his person. As he made no claims that it was United States money it could not be called counterfeit. He was discharged for lack of a statute to cover the charge. $5,000 For Conscience Fund. NEW YORK.—(Special.) A man who refused to disclose his identity called on the chairmanlain Wednesday and handed him five $1.000 bills.

Illinois Lad's Crime CARBON DALE, ILL.—(Special.) Mrs. Frank Tucker, who lived near West End was killed Wednesday by her 10-year-old son while the boy was in a fit ofrage. The son then committed suicide. The mother had tried to reason with the boy, who was playing with a gun, and who paid no attention to her. She then started to take the weapon away from him. As she approached the boy he drew the gun to his shoulder and killed his mother instantly. He then deliberately shot himself. Two Negroes Shot to Death ANGLETON, TEXAS. — (Special.) Thursday night several men entered a cell of the county jail in which Ransom O'Neill and Charles Tunstall were confined with a number of other negroes and shot the two men to death. The other prisoners were warned to cover their heads with blankets, which they did. The bedclothing of the cots occupied by the negroes caught fire, and O'Neill had a leg and an arm burned off. The negroes were charged with the murder of County Attorney Ed C. Smith, at Columbia. DEFIES UNCLE SAM. Santo Domingo Refuses to Change Port Dues. SAN DOMINGO, REPUBLIC OF SANTO DOMINGO.—(Special.) The Dominican government Wednesday informed United States Minister Powell that it could not accept any of the propositions accepted by him looking to a settlement of the several matters now pending between the two governments. The recent decree of the Dominican government changing the former port dues is considered in some quarters here to be an indirect duty on the exportation of sugar, amounting to $2 per ton. Foreign shipping is deriving benefit from the conditions brought about by the decree. Norwegian steamers at present are employed in carrying sugar, to the prejudice of American shipping interests. The planters of the island have raised a loan for the government. The political situation is unsettled. It was announced from San Domingo in December that Minister Powell had demanded the withdrawal of the decree charging port dues. Failing to comply with this demand, he insisted that the Dominican government pay the Clyde line of steamers the sum of $325,000 alleged to be due that company, and recognize certain other rights claimed by Minister Powell for the company. On January 6, Minister Powell made a demand on the Dominican government for the immediate payment of the sum alleged to be due to the Clyde line. POWDER MILL EXPLOSION Two White Men and Ten Chinamen Killed Near Nanaimo, B. C. NANAIMO, B. C.—(Special.) A terrific explosion occurred at the Hamilton Powder Company's works, Departure Bay, Thursday morning, George Simonetta, James Fulforte and ten Chinamen were killed. Only one body, that of a Chinaman, was recovered. Others were absolutely blown to fragments. The guncotton storage house exploded first, the concussion exploding the geligmite, the drying house, 400 feet away, where the great loss of life is supposed to have occurred. The ground was excavated to a depth of six feet, where the buildings stood. The buildings were blown into kindling and scattered, with fragments of human flesh, over several acres. The tramway was torn up and a length of steel rail twined spirally around a tree like a whiplash. James Preston, a nitroglycerin maker, had a miraculous escape and owed his life to his coolness. He was running his machinery 4,000 feet from the explosion when it occurred and was thrown down. The window and a part of the wall were blown in, but he kept his machinery running in spite of the concussion, which almost stopped it, and never left his post, thus preventing a third explosion. The works are three miles from Nanalmo and broken windows here testify to the tremendous force of the explosion. The management state that it is utterly impossible to assign any cause. No witnesses survived. INDICTED FOR LAND FRAUD. Former United States Land Agent in Trouble at Omaha. OMAHA—(Special.) W. R. Lesser, formerly a United tSates land agent, appointed to investigate alleged fraudulent land entries, was Wednesday indicted by the federal grand jury on a charge of presenting false claims to the government in the shape of expense accounts. The indictment, however, is in connection with the recent investigation by Colonel Mosby of land entries by soldiers' widows on government lands, which were at once leased to cattle owners and fenced in by them. It is alleged that soldiers' widows from several states were brought into Nebraska by interested parties, where they made homestead entries, being told that it was not necessary for them to actually reside on them. These lands were at once leased to or purchased by cattlemen. At the Auditorium The attraction at the Auditorium in Kansas City next week will be Charles H. Newman's new farce, "Mr. Jolly of Joliet." It is a broad burlesque and satire on some of the methods and mannerisms of a certain class of variety performers. It is a remarkably clever travesty, and is brimful of musical numbers and entertaining specialties. As a production, "Mr. Jolly of Joliet" is most pretentious, carrying a company of nearly fifty people, including a large chorus of pretty girls. The costuming is especially effective, and nearly every one gets an opportunity to appear in smart apparel. The production is one of the enterprises of Broadhurst and Currie, who are notably generous in staging their plays. The principal members of the company are Edward Carville, Ada Deaves, Mollie Thompson, Madge Lawrence, John and Maude Allison, and the Premier quartette. No Canteen Legislation WASHINGTON.—(Special). No action will be taken by the house committee on military affairs or by congress on the canteen question at this session, and no consideration is being given by the committee to any measure proposing the restoration of the canteen to the army post exchanges. This statement was made Wednesday by Chairman Hull, who has been in receipt daily of a vast number of letters, telegraphs and petitions from all over the country. Long Search Rewarded. GUTHRIE, O. T.—(Special.) The wife of L. A. Baggett, a Cleburne, Tex., barber, left home suddenly about three years ago, taking with her their 7-months-old baby girl. The husband and father was willing to let the wife go, but he loved his baby and has prosecuted a relentless search ever since for the mother and finally located them at Ralston. Pawnee county, last week, secured a writ of habeas corpus, and at a hearing before the probate court Tuesday was awarded the custody of the child. . (For week ending January 17, 1903.) HEALTHY WOMEN Praise Pe-ru-na as a Cure for Colds and a Preventive of Catarrh. MISS. ELIZABEH UBER MISS. SYBYL A. HADLEY MRS. M.J. BRINK FIRST STAGE OF CATARRH. A Serious Mistake Which Thousands Are Making. The first stage of catarrh is what is commonly known as "catching cold." It may be in the head, nose, throat or lungs. Its beginning is sometimes so severe as to cause a chill and considerable fever, or it may be so slight as to not hinder a person from his usual business. In perhaps a majority of cases little or no attention is paid to the first stage of catarrh, and hence it is that nearly one-half of the people have chronic catarrh in some form. To neglect a cold is to invite chronic warrh. As soon as any one discovers The mirror isn't a wise looking piece of furniture, yet it does a lot of reflecting. Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup.

The latest temperance lecture is involved in the story of the aged man at Sodus Point, N. Y., who, wishing a little stimulant, went out into the woodshed where the hard cider barrel was kept, and mistaking a cup of lye for cider, drank nearly all of it before he discovered his error. Some people, however, may think that the moral is to sip and enjoy the taste. A Deadly Arsenic Spring There is a deadly spring in the desert in south Nevada. A prospecting party found the skeletons of several men about the spring, but drank of the water notwithstanding. They were seized with violent cramps and suffered intensely. Some of the water was brought away and analyzed. It was found to contain a large percentage of arsenic. Danger in Tricks A trick is like a cheap firecracker—when it seems to have done its work and lost its vitality it is apt to explode and hurt the man who set it off—Saturday Evening Post. The March of Science Oollitie, Ind., January 12th.—That Oollitie is right abreast of the times in the use of the most recent discoveries in Medical Science is shown by recent cases in which those dreaded Kidney Complaints that cause so many deaths have been completely cured by the new Remedy, Dodd's Kidney Pills. Many people in this neighborhood tell of aches relieved and palms departed because of the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills. One of these is W. A. Terry, the well known Grocer. Here is his story: "I suffered for four months with Kidney and Bladder Trouble and was so bad that I was almost confined to my bed. I could get no relief until I commenced using Dodd's Kidney Pills. "I could notice an improvement the second day I took the pills. I would recommend Dodd's Kidney Pills to all sufferers from Kidney Complaints."
