EDITORIAL Now the job didn't hang us after all right will always win. Our enmies rejoice but ere long they will be over the barrel,thems elves. President Roosevelt and his house hold eats at 7 30 A.M. Good many of the joint keepers are speaking of leaving the city for more congenial climes. Times are quiet money is not circulating very fast down this way, but the darkest hour of night is just before the dawn of the day, then be of good cheer and all thin's will come all right. It Wagner's anti-lynching bill is successful then there will be some foo who is so coward will go the route once for luck. Lynchers are a set o'cowards. We are much suprised at the Kans law makers, they have done so little at this session of the Legislature. We are not ashamed of our record in "this burg" you can depend on the fact that all glitters is not gold. We owu no thieves for friends, friends are like bees. bright days they swarm when clouds shut out the sun they are not to be found. Laughing, catching, hanging is stretching, so sooner or late those wide mouth scandal mongers will get their dose so mote it be. In a recent issue of the "Labor Champion" of this city Mr. Fred C. Slater's article appears to be quite interesting hence we clipped it for this issue of the Ledger. Right will win out it makes no difference what they say of a competent man, he can always prove them to be competent liars. The dirty sheets that lied on us can now take their usual back seat in the low annals of low journalism. Senator "Pitchfork Tillman" has broken loose again Tillman is a lieing old scoundrel we don't believe he ever told the truth in his life, we pity the specimen of humanity that calleth him father and husband man so base as he. Topeka apparently has too many people in it, houses are scarce in fact the "monied class" of people should put carpenters at work building more houses, the real estate man, he wants to sell not rent. Talk is so easy but it takes money to stand by a friend and so few possess those financial qualifications, to hear them talk one would think them rich and behold some of your supposed best friends can't stop a bread wagon We have reason to believe that Col Hughes is going to be knocked out again on the long looked for nomination Hughes is silly enough to try it twice but he had better take a "fools advice" quit. Bailey Wagner Representative from Atchison County up to this time has done more good toward the color ed cause than all the rest of the assembly together and Wagner is a "demoor too.

M. Hale the present city Treasure, it will be remembered right here that Mr. Hale has charge of the city finance and also that of the school board making a total of $80.00 bond he is placed under this shows with out doubt the confidence the public have in the integrity of Mr. Hale and the manner he has conducted the office the last four years gives him the inside track for another term which no doubt will be given him at the polls on Mch.11th. we predict with out fear or favor that Mr. Hale 'is away in the lead and there remains only a question of time when he'll land, not one city employee among our people can speak ill of Mr. Hale:let our colored ladies get out and fight only for men like Mr. HALE. It make us tired when we read the deceitful lieing papers that despises a Negro unto death, Has he not the same right to live as you white "scape goats?" Well we should smile. Now justice is justice and if there is any man in Kansas that believes in Mr. Tillman's doctrine, he should imminately emmigrate to South Carolina. Have common horse sense, oh God thou fools, you despise a Negro or account of his color, not that he is not as smart as you, but oh he is a "Nigger" a poor old sinner that alls a Nigger.

What victory has the American white soldier won without the assistance of his colored brother(?) A change will come sooner or later relative to the times. We see more hard up people this winter than we have seen in years. This is our prosperity we have been "longing for." Let those monkies continue to give us a good time, we don't care for that, we guess we are as good as those monkies who have lied about us, don't see why we are not. The city primaries are to be held on March 10th. The women can vote for city clerk, city treasurer, member of school b oard counellman and mayor. It is hoped that this will be nicely d o n e and the strongest and best men may win without "a scrap." Senator Fillman, like other deceitful white people would like to see a race war. They had one in 1898 with Spain, and the Negro gallanty stepped in and stood by the hateful white man. Now their bones lie bleaching on Sanjuan Hill and now there is peace and they, like Pitchfork Tillman have no use for the Negro. This is not the first time that the Negro has proved his loyalty to the flag that severely rebukes him. J. S. FRITTON—Staple and Fancy Groceries.

It seems ambassadors are just as liable to lose their jobs as other folks are. Mr. Carnegie would like to be a father to any deserving nation that is in trouble. It is to be remembered that when Turkey engages in a "holy war" it is a holy terror. Gen. Uribe-Uribe, having lost his hyphen, is reported to have blown away the rest of himself.

It is again announced that Mr. Schwab has resigned, but the American people absolutely refuse to get excited over it.

Dodge City, Kan., is preparing to bore a hole in the ground for exploring purposes, but it seems to have no fears as to what the opening may disclose. A painting by Troyon, "Landscape and Cattle," sold in New York for $550, which was deemed a very reasonable figure, considering the high price of beef. A patient suffering from smallpox has escaped from New Jersey hospital, and the authorities are industriously searching for somebody to search for him. We can't all be captains of industry, and we don't expect to be. There are quite a number of us who would be very glad to be first lieutenants retired on half-pay—Puck. Millionaire Ziegler has decided to back another polar expedition. Such persistence and nerve ought to put the crew under obligations to accumulate at least a few chilliblains. The men behind the guns have received due credit, and now Admiral Schley amends the famous phrase by adding "the men before the furnace." The amendment will be unanimously accepted. President Eliot of Harvard complains that the graduates of that institution are not becoming the fathers of enough children. This seems to indicate that they are marrying into the very best circles. A good example of marrying in haste is that of the young couple who took the matrimonial vows on a railroad train travelling at the rate of a mile a minute. Did they repent at leisure after the train stopped? The two presidents advocate earlier and more prolific marriages, and the same week the De Beers' mining company puts up the price of diamonds 5 per cent regardless of the financial condition of the young man seeking an engagement ring. The Montana legislature is being urged to give Mrs. Steven Murphy a reward of $3,000 for being the mother of triplets. This is a good move.

BUFFALO, N. Y.—(Special.) The finger of the police suspicion in the Burdick murder case is pointing toward a woman whose home is in the Elmwood district. Her career is known to the police. By far the most important statement made since the tragedy was given out Wednesday by Superintendent Bull, who heretofore has had but little to say. He announced a suspect; that the motive has been established and that, in due time, there will be an arrest. Superintendent Bull says the suspect is a woman. He said in part: "While I have not been taking an active part in the work, and left it to Mr. Cusack, he has reported to me fully from time to time. Mr. Cusack has well defined theories. He has established a motive. I gave my ideas to Mr. Cusack as to the motive that led up to the murder and told whom I suspected of the crime. He had come to the same conclusion I did. While we think he could make an arrest with safety, we prefer to wait and we believe that certain evidences we wish to gather will lead to successful results." "Is it a woman?" Superintendent Bull was asked. "Yes," he replied, "it seems to me it is a woman." "Will there be an arrest?" "Yes, there will." The cautious manner in which the police are moving is undoubtedly due to the expectation that, when an arrest is made, a stubborn legal battle will follow. They want to be sure of their ground. The social prominence of the victim and of those who will be dragged into the case later on calls for extreme caution on the part of the authorities. Assistant Superintendent of Police Cusack also made a positive statement of his belief that the murderer of Edwin L, Burdick is a woman, that she is a person of some social standing, and that she moved in the social set in which Burdick was prominent. The further statement is made that Burdick was lying on the couch in his den when the attack which ended his life was made and that there was no struggle worthy of the name of struggle, the unfortunate man succumbing almost immediately to the first blow struck. The assertion that Burdick was laying on the couch when murdered is based on a most important fact, which has so far not been made public by the authorities, namely, that there was not even a spot of blood on the floor of the den except just beneath the couch and that had soaked through from the couch. This fact is evidence enough to satisfy the police that Burdick was attacked while lying down and was almost literally defenseless. That the attack came unawares is shown by the further fact that there were no evidences of struggle in the room. It is probable that the first blow was sufficient to daze the unfortunate man and incapacitate him for resistance. That the assailant was not a man the criminal authorities believe from some things which they have disclosed and some which they decline to make known. No one now doubts that a woman was with Burdick that night and in the den. Civil War General Dead INDIANAPOLIS, IND—(Special.) Major General Robert Sanford Foster died Tuesday afternoon after a lingering illness. He was quartermaster general of Indiana at the time of his death and by proclamation of the governor Tuesday afternoon, his body will in state and business will be generally suspended. General Foster was one of the distinguished generals of the civil war, having risen from the ranks to a brigadier generalship and be treated major general. He was personally complimented by President Lincoln for bravery in action. Thousands of Cattle Dead. DENVER, COL.—(Special.) Thousands of cattle plain or dying in the snow on the plains can be seen from every railroad throughout the range country. The storms of the last two weeks wrought havoc among the herds. Trainmen arriving from the east report six to twenty inches of snow to the Kansas line.. One train crew on the Missouri Pacific road counted more than 1,000 dead cattle between the Kansas line and Pueblo. Rock Island trainmen estimate a similar number lying within sight of that line. Flour Mills Are Closing MINNEAPOLIS, MINN.—(Special.) The freight blockade here has reached its crisis. Four Minneapolis flour mills are shut down, and others will be forced to close soon. When business began Monday morning, the mills had hardly enough cars in sight to take care of the day's run. Some of them will store flour, as they have been doing for the last eight weeks. Others may prefer to stop grinding until the chances of securing adequate transportation facilities are improved. Smugglers Sent to Prison. NEW YORK.—(Special.) Twelve men arrested recently in connection with the smuggling of tobacco on steamships from Holland were Monday sentenced to three month's imprisonment. Officers testified that the men, all of them were sailors or firemen on the steamers, would place the tobacco around one of their number and then, forming a flying wedge, endeavor to get him past the revenue officers. Since the officers became active here. CEMENT PLANT EXPLOSION. Six Men Missing and Thirty Injured In New Jersey. EASTON, PA.—(Special.) Six men are missing, and thought to be dead, and twenty-five or thirty others are injured, several of them seriously, from the effects of an explosion Tuesday at the Edison cement plant at New Village, N. J., seven miles from here. A large part of the plant was burned, and it is feared that the bodies of the missing men are in the ruins. Their names have not been learned. The most seriously injured, all of whom are burned, are: E. E. Darling, New Village; chief engineer. William Steatz, Stewartsville, N. J.; night superintendent; may die. Harry Rose, Phillipsburg, N. J.; day foreman. R. H. Goodwelle, New York; chief electrician. George Bowman, timekeeper. Clinton S. Race, Easton. Alexander Wolf, Stewartsville. George Bowman, Broadway, N. J. Harry Wilkmein, Broadway, N. J. The explosion occurred in one of the large coal bins and was caused by the ignition of a quantity of gas. Workmen had discovered a slight fire, but it was thought they had extinguished it. Foreman Rose went to the bin and, as he opened a door, a terrific explosion occurred. The bin was blown to pieces and many of the workmen who were near it were injured. The wreckage took fire and the flames spread rapidly. For a time no effort was made to check the fire, the attention of the uninjured being directed to the care of their less fortunate companions. The coal bin, the coal blower house, the fine coal house, the coal storage building, three conveyors and one receiving tower were destroyed. WANTS TO QUIT. Crowninshield Wishes To Be Placed on Retired List WASHINGTON. — (Special.) Two interesting and significant communications were received Wednesday at the navy department from the European station. One was from Rear Admiral A. S. Crowninshield, commanding the European squadron, asking to be placed on the retired list of the navy under the provisions of the personnel law. The other was from Lieutenant Henry B. Ward, naval secretary to Admiral Crowninshield, resigning his commission in the navy. Prompt action was taken by Secretary Moody in regard to the case of Rear Admiral Crowninshield, and it was decided to relieve him of active duty at once, in order that he might come home or visit European capitals, whichever should be his desire. His application for retirement will undoubtedly be granted. MAY FOLLOW OUR LEAD. England Talking of Establishing Department of Commerce LONDON.—(Special.) In the house of commons Tuesday night the question of the creation of a portifolio of commerce and industry was brought up on the motion of Joseph Hoult, Conservative, that the constitution of the board of trade was obsolete, and that that department should be presided over by a minister of commerce and industry, which post should be substituted for the present office of president of the board of trade. Sir Charles Dike moved an amendment providing for the redistribution of the government departments concerned with due regard to the interests of labor. He thought that the resolution could not be adopted in its present form. After a debate which occupied the entire night session, the amendment and the motion were withdrawn. Appeal Four Cent Fare Appeal Four-Cent Fare Case. CLEVELAND.—(Special.) The famous low fare street railway cases that have been hanging fire for nearly two years will be taken direct to the United States supreme court, the appeal being made Wednesday by the law director of the city. It will be a year before they can be heard, however. In March, 1901, Judge Ricks, of the United 5 states district court, issued a permanent injunction restraining the city from enforcing the ordinance which undertook to compel a fare of 4 cents or seven tickets for a quarter. Young Student Congressman CHICAGO. — (Speck.) Burton L. French, who is working for a master's degree at the University of Chicago, has been elected to congress from Idaho and is the youngest member of the house of representatives. He will be seated at the coming session of congress. Mr. French is 27 years old, and is one of the political leaders of his state. He is now living at 543 East Fifty-fifth street. During his campaign last summer he traveled 1,200 miles up and down the sparsely inhabited Western state. BRIEF BITS OF NEWS The result of the Republican primaries in Cincinnati Tuesday night will be the renomination in the city convention Wednesday of Maory Julius Fleischmann and all of the city officials elected with him three years ago except Colonel Paul M.

Miss Edythe Oechsch was visiting in Ottawa last week, and a visitor thought the community had suddenly become addicted to the use of snuff. Nine houses in Leavenworth were entered by burglaries in one night last week, and the naives are wondering if Warden Jewett keeps all of his wayward charages locked up after dark. A Lindsborg printer tried to abbreviate "business manager" without the use of periods, with the result that he directed those who desire "Messiah" tickets to apply to the "bus" man. The Erie Record is always proud to note the success of boys from that town who win laurels elsewhere. It therefore announces that J. L. Allison, formerly city editor of the Sentinel, is now the clerk of a hotel in Marshall, Ill. Some Topeka capitalists are talking of building an electric railroad to Junction City, with a spur running up into Nemaha county to tap the coal fields. The regents of the University of Kansas have made ex-Chancellor Snow professor of meteorology, organic evolution, systematic entomology and curator of entomological collections—a bulky lot of titles for a man of his years and feeble health to carry. A Coffeyville man, in an unsuccessful attempt to commit suicide, drank a liniment containing turpentine and chloroform. The receivers have found the Kansas Mutual Life Insurance company in such excellent financial condition, and the fact is being so widely published, that the company may find the advertisement is worth all the receivership has cost. Leavenworth fears that its Orphans' home, two hospitals and home for aged women are to be cut off without an appropriation by the legislature. Two prisoners who were sentenced to be hanged in 1880, which is equivalent to life imprisonment, were pardoned last week by Governor Bailey. Their innocence has been made reasonably clear. At rare intervals Kansas has cause to be glad that capital punishment does not prevail. The Topeka Capital ventured to criticise an "evangelist" of the vulgar and blasphemous sort who recently held services in the capital. He is the same one who prayed that Mayor Parker might be "either converted or killed." Oliver replies in a letter to the editor, which the Capital prints. The following is only a small portion of it: "It is quite significant to note the howlings of the little scabby, whisky soaked spawns of corrupt journalism over the state turn their pugnans my direction because I stood four-square for a clean municipality and clean politics in Topeka. Such editors retail in hell at five cents a dozen, as common specimens of polluted puddom." In his diary of 1846, William Walker, Wyandotte chief and later provisional governor of Kansas-Nebraska, says that he wanted to go over and buy some of the lots just laid out and put on sale in Kansas City, but the miserable ferryman got drunk and let his boat float away from him and there was no way to cross the Kansas river. Complaint is made of "too much loud swearing" in Neodesha. But, somehow, profanity and the soft pedal never blend well. A negro debating society in Parsons discussed the case at some length a few nights ago, and finally exonerated Pilate of responsibility for the death of Christ. President Hadley of Yale, who naments because the democratic spirit among students is disappearing, should go to Lawrence. Forty-eight per cent of the students of the University of Kansas are working their way. The Anthony Republican braps that there are seven "swallow-tail" coats in use in the society crowd there, and thirty party dresses. "One of the dresses," it adds, "is cut so low that the lady who wears it doesn't dare to sneeze." A jealous-town story on Independence: An enthusiastic citizen died and went, as he supposed, to heaven. After looking around, he remarked: "Well, I don't see as heaven is much ahead of Independence." "But," said a bystander with a hot pitchfork in his hand, "this isn't heaven." Quenemo boys are keeping up with the times by wearing violets from the millinery store. The barnyard increase of a farmer near Overbrook the past week was two pairs of twin calves. A Greensburg ranchman made the mistake of branding and vaccinating at one time. It saved an extra round-up, but killed nine steers. One Norton man is noted for the amount of buttermilk he drinks. An Abilene woman is the proud possessor of a full blooming cyclamen. Melon seeds at Liberal will be sold for 10 cents a pound this summer, with the heart thrown in. Iola has a plague of burglaris. They range from youths who rob peanut stands to housebreakers. A Coffeyville man was robbed of $146 the other night en route home from church. And this was after the collection basket had been passed. A Norcatur man pronounced fatally ill by his physician, was around the next day. He is a fruit tree agent. Iola started to ridicule the quality of Chanute's natural gas, and Chanute replies that what Iola palms off as the genuine article is only sewer gas. Great excitement was caused by the fall of a Kansas City, Kas, man until it was learned that his broken leg was a wooden one. Osborne neighbors of a bedridden citizen called at his home the other Quorum In House of Lords. There can be no quorum of the House of Lords without the presence of an archbishop, two peers and a prelate being needed to constitute a House of Lords for the transaction of business. South Carolina's Tobacco Industry. The growth of the tobacco industry in South Carolina has been phenomenal. The Darlington market alone reports sales of more than 7,000,000 pounds of the 1902 crop. Unfortunate Turkish Official M. Zinovieff, the Russian minister, recently procured the dismissal of the captain of a Turkish guardship for omitting to fire the customary salute on the "name day" of the czar of Russia. The unfortunate captain gave as his excuse the fact that his powder was wet. The sultan sent his foreign minister to apologize and the salute was fired in due form next day. YELLOW CLOTHES ARE UNSIGHTLY. Keep them white with Red Cross Ball Blue All grocers sell large 3 oz. package, 5 cents Will Accelerate Fire Fighting Will Accelerate Fire-Fighting. A telescope ladder capable of being extended to a length of 85 feet and worked by means of compressed air was tested recently in Pittsburg. The ladder can be directed at a particular window in a burning building; a fireman lashed to the end of the ladder is shot up with it, and rescued persons need not clamber down, but the ladder can be quickly lowered with them on it. Must Be Pet of Providence. It is told as a true story that John Chapman of Galena, Kan., fell down a twenty-foot tramway at the Blind Tiger mine and dislocated his shoulder. He went home and stumbled down the cellar steps and in falling his shoulder was thrown back into place. He took a drink and returned to work. Influenza Among Diplomatist Influenza Among Diplomatists. Influenza, now epidemic in Paris, claims M. Delcasse, the minister of foreign affairs; Prince Von Radolin, the German ambassador; the Marquis Del Munt, the Spanish ambassador, and Count Von Wolkenstein-Trotsburg of the German embassy. It has been humorously suggested that Mr. Delcasse inoculated the entire diplomatic corps. Through and Through New Bedford, Mass., March 2d.—At 658 First street, this city, lives a very happy man. His name is Ulric Levaseur and he certainly has good reason to feel glad and proud. Mr. Levaseur has been sick for a long time with general weakness and a sore pain in his back. At the last he got so very bad that he could not walk without great misery. Now he is well, and in speaking of this wonderful change in him he says: "I believe it to be my duty to tell everybody how I was cured. I was so weak that I could not stop. In fact, I was unable to walk without great pain. I began taking Dodd's Kidney Pills and after a two months' treatment I am well and sound again. "Dodd's Kidney Pills are a God-sent remedy. I will always praise them for their wonderful cure of my case. They cured me through and through. I am as strong and able a man now as I ever was." Public-Spirited Ohio Citizen. Benjamin Waddell, a wealthy and public-spirited farmer of Marion county, Ohio, who some time since gave a $50,000 home for children to the town of Marion, is about to expend at least $60,000 in building a home for old ladies in the same time.

Speaking of coffee a doctor of Decaturville, Ohio, says: "We used to analyze coffee at the medical college and in spite of our laboratory tests which showed it to contain caffeine, an active poison, I continued to use the drink, and later on found myself affected with serious stomach trouble, indigestion, headaches, etc. The headaches came on so regularly and oppressed me so that I found it difficult to attend to my regular duties. One day last November I met a friend whom I had known to be similarly afflicted. His marked improvement in appearance caused me to inquire what he had been doing. He announced that he had, some time ago, quit coffee and was using Postum Food Coffee. To this change he attributed the change in his health. I took the hint, even from a layman, and made the same change myself. The first week I noticed a little difference, but not much. The third week the change was almost magical. I have continued with the Postum and now my digestion is perfect, the nervous headaches have entirely disappeared, and I am well. My own analysis of the Postum Food Coffee shows it to be a pure food drink of strong character, which is a marked contrast to the old-fashioned coffee." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

The General is in his seventy-fifth year. He took part in twenty-four campaigns and has the grand cross of the Legion of Honor. The Gambler and His Victims. The New York gambler who left the shortest will on record was just so much better off than those who went up against his game. Most of them could leave a last testament like this: "Please bury me in the clothes I had on when I cashed in. Uncle George will pay the funeral expenses." The Cost of Monarchy It is roughly estimated that since the accession of King Edward no less than £60,000 has been spent by the office of works in the renovation of royal residences. Of these Buckingham Palace and Marlborough House have required by far the greatest attention. A Tama Sea Gull. An entertaining incident occurred on the roof of a London coach one morning recently. As the vehicle was proceeding over Blackfriars bridge a sea gull took his stand on the roof and took little or no notice of his fellow-passengers. He rode several blocks and a young working-girl opened a parcel containing her day's food and gave the gull some bread, which he ate with avidity. Cautioned Bret Harte. Ex-Minister Straus tells a new one on Bret Harte. He says that when Harte was sent to Glasgow as United States consul he asked the secretary of state for instructions. The secretary told him that he was going abroad with laurels on his brow, and that he should be careful not to browse on his laurels.

THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS FOR WESTERN CANADA "There will be thousands of Americans coming up here in the spring," was the remark made by a farmer from the vicinity of Langdon, North Dakota, when he arrived in Winnipeg, Manitoba, the capital of Western Canada, a few days since. He was the advance guard of a large body who are following him, and he has already invested in several farming sections for himself and others and purposes to take up his permanent abode in this country. He went on to say: "Hundreds are coming from my district alone. I know this to be a fact for many of them are neighbors of mine. The chief topic of conversation with the farmers is the coming immigration in the spring. "The impression general in the part of Dakota where I live that farmers can get from 10 to 15 cents more a bushel for wheat on the American side of the line than on the Canadian has not prevented people from turning their eyes to 'Canada as a place to live in. They know they can get land in this country which is every bit as fertile as that in Dakota at about one quarter the price. It is safe to say that the exodus from Dakota into Canada this year will exceed the expectations of all Canadians."

The men are wanted for a bank robbery at Union, Mo., committed December 27. The safe and vault were blown open and while one of the burglars secured the money, the other stood on the street with revolvers and prevented the citizens from interfering. About $14,000 in money and $100,000 in securities were stolen. Private Detective Schumacker of Chicago was killed when he went with three deputy sheriffs to the house of Rudolph's parents. Taking two horses from a farmer at the point of a revolver Collins and Rudolph rode away and got to Hot Springs, Ark., where they made a short stay. Next they worked east and came to Hartford, where Collins formerly lived. They stopped with two of his half brothers, Edward and Theodore LaPlant, and afterward took quarters at 32 Allyn street. Rudolph's parents were arrested. In the search of the Rudolph house a scrap of paper was found upon which was written "George Collins, Hartford, Conn." The Hartford police learned that Collins had formerly been in the reform school at Meriden, Conn. He has two step-bothers there named LaPlant. Rudolph and Collins have been here a few weeks, but were not located until Sunday, when Rudolph was seen on the street. The detective wanted to get the men together and would not risk getting one for fear the other would get a way. Sunday afternoon Rudolph, Collins, and the two step-brothers were seen coming out of a house on Allyn street, where they had two rooms. They were followed to a house on State street and the force of Pinkerton men and local detectives was gathered there. Collins and the La Plants came out of the house together and were arrested without trouble. The "Missouri Kid" remained in the house and Detective Dougherty and Detective Farrell, of this city, went after him. They went into the house with revolvers drawn. Rudolph reached under his overcoat for his gun, a large one. Dougherty was upon him before he could pull it. The man had a struggle. While the Hartford detective tried to get the gun away from Rudolph Dougherty was bitten in the car. Farrel finally got the gun away from Rudolph, when a man in the house went to Rudolph's assistance, thinking the detectives were trying to hold him up. The woman of the house told the man who the officers were and then he helped them Rudolph had about $2,300 on him. In the rooms occupied by the men were found three large revolvers, a bag of cartridges and skeleton keys and a quantity of clothing. In all $8,685 was found in the rooms and on the prisoners. About $3,000 was in gold. FOUND DEAD AT NEWPORT. Body of Fashionably Dressed Woman Picked Up on Cliffs NEWPORT, R. I.—(Special). The body of an unknown woman was found on Newport's famous cliffs Saturday opposite the estate of Mrs. T. Shaw Safe. Nothing is known of her identity except that her name is Barker and that she came to Newport about fifteen months ago.

A week ago the woman disappeared from her boarding house, and the police were notified but could not find her. Saturday afternoon a colored boy, while walking along the cliffs saw the body lying on the rocks above high water mark and notified the police.

Progress and improvement are the watchwords of the twentieth century, and the old style of selling stock foods through traveling agents at an enormous expense, should give way to the more modern plan of being sold by the mail order method at a less expense. Did you ever stop to think what makes the ordinary stock foods cost what they do to you? If not, we will try to explain. Agents selling stock foods to the farmers direct, through the country with a team, receive a commission of 33 to 50 per cent on all sales, and in addition to this there are other expenses, such as salary to block salesmen, state managers, and cost of large lithographs, issued by some stock food people. All this expense is added to the cost of the food which the farmer is expected to pay. It causes an expense of $7.50 to $80.00 per ton to sell stock food by the old methods. An agent tries to interest you in stock foods you have to take his word in regard to the merits of the food. Why is not the word of a responsible firm, in writing, much better than the verbal contract generally made with a traveling agent. By dealing direct with us you will save this expense that is added to the cost of the food that is purchased through canvassers. By cutting down this expense we are able to give you a food the quality of which is much superior to the ordinary run of stock foods which, if sold under the old methods, could not be sold at anywhere near the price we are now offering it to you for mail orders.

Office 122 E.4th St. Topeka J. H. Ward Mr. Fred C. Slater. We take pleasure in announcing that Mr. Fred C. Slater is a candidate for judge of the court of Topeka, subject to the republican primaries. He has been a practicing attorney in Topeka since 1889. Through hard work honest and diligent application to his proffession he has acquired a good practice and gained an enviable reputation for thoroughness and integrity. We believe he he possess the qualifications of a good judge. His past has not been all sunshine and ease, but quite the contrary. Mr. Slater's early life was spent on the farm, first on the pioneer front of western Iowa and later in that of western Kansas. His advent into Kansas was in the spring of 1879, driving a bunch, of cattle behind prairie schooner which was occupied by his mother and sister' His father having gone on before to take a claim. Owing to the failure of crops during the next few years he left the farm to work. He labored for nearly two years PETER H. BURKE FRED C, SLATER in various capacities on the D & R. G. railroad in Colorado, and has some experience in many kinds of rail-road labor from section "tody" to that of locomotive fireman. Later he worked in a flouring mill, in a grain elevator with harvesting and threshing out fits, etc. Finally in 1883, while working at Junction City, Kansas, and stopping at the boarding house of an old lady, the widow of a lawyer, this widow took much interest in him, persuaded him to improve his education and prepare for a profession. Mr. Slater langhed at the idea, but upon being offered an opportunity to work about the house morning and night for his board, he concluded to attend school for a few winter months while work was scasse, but by the end of these few months he had gor in earnest and continued the pursuit of his education, carrying one-half course of study at a time 'e Then he took up the study of law until he came to Topeka, where he was admitted to bar so after "Having been a wage earner my self in almost all kinds of common labor known to this western countroy, I can truthfully say that labor, like everything else, m u s t look to its own interest and to its own rights' if it would obtain its rights. The modern world has become one nei hborhood and there is no trade or commodity however secluded, but that it comes in competition with every other article of its kind on the market The day day is fast coming when the individual man has no place in the business world.
