State Ledger

INTER-STATE Journal Kans.. and Missouri. y F L JE TZ EDITORIAL Well its bloody "old state of Misery again. All the grand rascales are not dead yet, neither are all of them Negroes: We shall stand by the true and tried American, be he white or "black" Capt. Wintrode has appointed J. H. Lamberson as his deputy of the court of Topeka, Lamberson has lived here many years he is the son of a "veteran." Mayor Bergundthal is going to make Topeka an A. D. T. Let the good work go on, as far as we are concerned they are more important however than joints. You talk about justice, do they ever appreciate anything of the kind? Well just wait till you get justice and you'll wait till you become a Vanderbilt or a Rothchilds, then you'll get justice. "Nigger," and not until then, You may repine "or justice, but justice never comes to you. President Roosevelt's visit to Topeka in May will inspire the old time patriotic feeling as in days of "yore." The reason that people give for opposing the "colored "man" is based on the face that he is a Negro and he knows no further consideration. The public are aware of the fact that we do not own any press we print on, But we own our material and, when complications arises it is not our fault, The Governor Bailey business is a funny thing, the facts are he is for Bailey but it begins to look like he is a "one termer," Booker T, Washington seems to be meeting with favor as far as the president is concerned, he is now slated for a good place in the cabinent, There is a certain scoundrel who will get his just deserts either here or in h—if he "fool" with us.We never saw a scoundrel we was afraid of, Dr, E, W. South, is the new addition to the colored medical profession in the city. The doctor is a very courteous young man and deserves a share of your trade. He is located at 406 Kansas avenue. Go after the druggist: there is a happy number of them who rejoice because the mayor is toolish enough to concede their authority. The readers of Junction City' and Manhottan, will get a fine 'send off' in a few days for the manner and way they served us While prejudice is growing at a rapid rate we notice in the Plain-dealer recently, they say protect yourselves, fight. This is the best. There is a whole heap of con-founded deceit about 'some people, if they get a job the person whom they serve at that time are the best in the world, but as soon as they are "fired," they sav 'd-me'm', this is a sample of hypocrite. The Governor's list for dining with the President bears two distinct features, one is the absence of Congressman Curtis, and Cyrus Leland. This seems funny that the State Executive refused to invite a congressman who resides where this "jamboree" takes place. Where are we drifting is a question that need be asked all along the line. It is an evident fact that white men are just as guilty in many ways as colored men, yet the least can be said or found on a poor illiterate colored man the dirty opposite "race sheets" are filled with falsehoods. The facts that there is still an internal lot of 'hoodlums' who want always to lynch without judge or jury. It they would only square themselves in battle array. Single them out one by one, and give the poor defenseless "wretch" agood gun, they would be through with lynchie for all time to come. A set of motley "cowards." W.

Some people will keep a pretty decent looking front yard, but the back yard of their premises will be a terror. As a matter of fact, there should be no back yard to any home... that is a dump lot for all the rubbish of the place. A merchant advertised for a clerk and got replies from four states in inside of ten days from young men who were willing to work for $10 a month and board themselves. In the same town a husky young fellow willing to work by the month on the farm had six farmers after him in the day and willing to pay him the same wages the merchant paid the clerk. The average young man o' today will dodge hard work if he can. The question of food supply for animals produces some curious results. In Wyoming, during the winter just passed the jack rabbits by thousands sought the protection of snow fences along the lines of railroad, while the wolves and coyotes from over a vast tract found the jack an easy victim.

Still, when you come to use the word "fewwhere" it doesn't look well in print. A man is known by the company he keeps; a woman by the company she keeps out. For the best way to manage children, consult bachelors and women without any. Wireless telegraphy seems assured, but wireless politics is as much of a dream as ever. The cost of the coal strike hearing is estimated at $750,000. And the public will pay that, too. Now that the danger is past, it should be noted that no one has called him the Bowen of contention. Now that a use has been found for the pituitary body there is renewed hope for the vermiform appendix. Later on Miss Thaw may wish she had minded mamma, but girls will be girls, and there is no use talking to them. Good news for the little herring canners down in Maine! The sardine fisheries in France this year have failed. Keep in mind that most of the well-to-do people of to-day acquired their property on the get-rich-slow-but-sure principle. When all the novelists are in the legislature and all the pugilists are on the stage we may look for some strenuous uplifting. Rudyard Kipling has lost a lawsuit which will doubtless occasion some chortling over among the Goths and shameless Huns. The committee reviewing the United States statutes has decided that the United States "is." Yes, is and ever shall be. The government's snake expert gets a salary of only $50 a month. But that's as much as anyone who deliberately becomes a snake expert ought to get. Sir Charles Beresford says that battleships are cheaper than war. Dr Hale would add that the costs of The Hague court are cheaper than battle ships. Secretary Cortelyon asks only a trifle of $7,000,000 for his new department building. Let him have it. What's a dot like this for such a rich nation? A man from Kentucky was driven crazy by a quart of whiskey which he drank in Kansas City. He must have been a son of Kentucky merely by adoption. A New Jersey court has decided that palmistry is "a crafty science intended to deceive the simple-minded." Perhaps that court thinks it has made a discovery. Again Dr. Koch is proved mistaken. Dr. Koch's brain seems to have been a breeding ground for the germs of error. That is, conceding that his critics are right. A poet named Vrchlichy has been ected a member of the Austrian house of peers. If his poetry is anything like his name he must belong to the Browning school. A Topeka minister recently prayed that the mayor of that town might either be converted or killed, as the Lord might see fit. It is always well to give the Lord a choice in these matters. The Baltimore burglar who tried skirts as a disguise came near being caught by the "pesky things." This teaches that each sex should accept philosophically the handicap of its own clothes. A Mississippi judge has instructed the grand jury to indict people for playing progressive eucheir for prizes. Perhaps he has a nice, flattering picture of himself that he would like to have published. Those ladies who are writing to the white house to make suggestions in regard to the arrangement of the furniture might send along certificates showing how their husbands voted at the last two elections. A Cleveland minister says that the modern prayer meeting lacks "juice." If the observation is based on the absence of the old-time "hurrah" we can name several kinds of juices which might remedy the defect. An Eastern contemporary remarks that all this "less" business began with the "chainless bicycle." We may be in error, but it seems to us the bottomless pit was mentioned earlier. If the pituitary gland is responsible for the physical growth of such giants as Abraham Lincoln, Winfield Scott and Phillips Brooks, let it alone. Oil has recently been discovered in Dublin, Ireland. If they find it in paying quantities Ireland may yet be taken away from the English. A plumber has been elected mayor of Brockton, Mass. Now if they will put the iceman in as director of public works Brockton may be able to show the world a new thing or two. What the southern negro wishes to know, before negotiations go any further, is: Can the possum be acclimated in the Philippines? Suggestion for a church fair: Have a wireless telegraph arrangement and send messages from one end of the hall to the other. VOTENEXTWEEK LIMIT HAS BEEN PLACED ON CANAL TREATY DEBATE. CORMAN IS LINING UP THE DEMOCRATS It Is Desired to Have Several Amendments Adopted—Many Democrats Reserving the Right to Vote for the Treaty Even if Amendments Are Defeated—New Rules for Senate. WASHINGTON. — (Special.) An agreement has been reached for a vote on the canal treaty next Tuesday. It will probably be taken up for amendment Monday. Senator Morgan Thursday continued his argument in opposition to the treaty in the executive session of the senate. The Democratic senators are making an effort, under the leadership of Senator Gorman, to reach an agreement upon amendments to the treaty to be supported by them, and each one has been asked to give his views upon this point. So far, substantial unanimity has been expressed in favor of a modification of article 23 so as to place the control of the canal in American hands. There is general complaint among the Democrats that the provisions of that article preclude the possibility of protecting the canal by American arms in case the necessity for doing so should arise. It is said, however, that no amendments shall be offered by the Democrats as a party unless the support of all the Democratic senators can be secured in advance. While practically all of them are said now to be favorable to an amendment that will give the United States control of the canal, it is understood that many, especially amonge the Southern senators, say that, if this or other amendments shall be offered and rejected, they will reserve the right to vote for the treaty in the end. At the opening of the senate Wednesday, Mr. Frye, the president pro tem, called the attention of senators to the fact that, under a strict interpretation of the rules, only such business as properly belongs to the matters under consideration in executive session should be presented at this extra session of the senate. He said it only confuses the record to have other business introduced now, as it would all have to be reintroduced at the regular session in December. Mr. Allison of Iowa, offered a resolution which he said he thought was proper at this time, authorizing the committee on rules to re-examine the rules of the senate with the view of ascertaining what changes, if any, are necessary, and especially to make inquiry whether it is expedient to in any way limit debate in the senate and if so to what extent. The resolution further provides that the committee is authorized to sit during the recess of the senate and they are directed to submit a report to the senate of their conclusions as soon as practicable, after the beginning of the session next December. The resolution was referred to the committee to audit and control the contingent expenses of the senate. Mr. Hoar, of Massachusetts, explained the need of a manual of parliamentary law and said he would at a later day introduce a resolution directing the committee on rules to consider this question. The manuscript copy of the Cuban constitutional convention, the several orders and circulars of the department of Cuba, etc., were ordered returned to the war department. The senate then, on motion of Mr. Cullum, of Illinois, went into executive session, Bandits Steal Fifty Hors GUTHRIE, O. T.—(Special.) The three bandits who robbed the Rock Island station at Hennessey, O. T., and murdered Justice Cravat, are still at liberty and are believed to have reached the Texas Panhandle. They are now in hiding somewhere in the foothills in that district, supposedly under the leadership of Ben Cravens, the outlaw king. They are also said to be Ray and Bob Martin and Ed Simmons, old-time outlaws, recently chased out of Colorado. At that time an Indian squaw, the silenced wife of the elder Martin, was captured. They have operated before in Oklahoma. They have stolen fifty head of horses within the past two weeks trying to escape; after exhausting horses they leave them and steal others. Eik Dying by Hundreds HELENA. MONT.—(Special.) State Game Warden Scott received word Wednesday that hundreds of elk are dying from hunger along the northern boundary of the National park. Snow has been deep in that region, preventing the animals from securing food. Portions of the park are strewn with their carcasses. Two Italians have been arrested for slaughtering the weakened and helpless animals. For Whom Does It Bode III. CHICAGO. — (Special.) The jury which will try the cases against the Indiana coal operators, accused of conspiracy, was completed Tuesday. At noon the last juror, the thirteenth man of the thirteenth panel, was sworn in. Thirteenth hundred and thirteen men were examined before the twelve men could be found who met the requirements of the attorneys for the state and the defense. The opening statements will be made by State's Attorney Deneen. Six Dead in Hotel Fire CUMBERLAND, MD.—(Special.) Six persons were burned to death and one was fatally injured as the result of a fire Monday morning in a small hotel at Leiter, a mining town near Elkins, W. Va. The dead: Maggie Coughlan. Annie Burke. Henry Burke. George C. Anderson. Mrs. George C. Anderson. A child of the Andersons. Fatally injured: Robert Long. HANGING IN ALASKA. Homer Bird Executed at Sitka for Double Klondike Murder. SEATTLE, WASH.—(Special.) A special to the Times from Sitka says: "Homer Bird was legally executed here Friday at 1:41 p. m. The execution was devoid of incident. Bird walked the hundred yards from the jail and mounted the scaffold without assistance. On the gallows he made a short speech without visible emotion in which he protested his innocence. Thirty seconds after the trap was sprung, the murderer died without a struggle. About twenty witnesses were allowed within the closure. The crime for which Bird was executed was one which startled the entire country and attracted more attention from the fact that it was first reported during the great Klondike rush of 1897-8. The men had started up the Yukon river with two companions. One day the two companions were found to be missing. When questioned, Bird stoutly maintained that they had gone off on a prospecting expedition. There was still suspicion, however, that all was not right, and a thorough investigation was started, with the result that the bodies of the two men were found, riddled with buckshot. The motive for the crime has not yet been discovered. Bird was tried twice and personal appeals urging clemency have been repeatedly made to the authorities at Washington. The case was carried to the supreme court of the United States. Found a Stick of Dynamite BUFFALO, N. Y.—(Special.) Five small boys lighted a stick of dynamite which they found Thursday in the northern part of the city. The explosive went off with terrific force. It is feared that three of the boys will die. The injured: Anthony Gerace, face, arms and neck lacerated. James S. Chorlila, flesh torn from parts of body; will probably die. Tony Chorlila, lacerated hands, legs and face. John Ferria, lacerations; internally injured. Tony Ferria, entire body lacerated. 4 SYRACUSE, N. Y.—(Special.) After sitting in a window of a fashionable apartment house and taking shots at the people passing in James street below, Henry C. Friend held a party of policemen at bay for an hour with a big revolver Thursday. Then, forcing the janitor to roll cigarettes, Friend played the piano with his left hand and held the gun in his right. Soon thereafter, Friend turned on the piano stool, placed the revolver to his breast and sent a bullet through his heart. He was 26 years old and son of the late George S. Friend, once a prominent merchant here. His Wife Was Jealous SPRINGFIELD, O.—(Special). Joseph H. Gibbs and wife were found dead lying in their own blood in the main street of St. Paris, a village west of Urbana. Thursday, by two young boys. Gibbs started out early Wednesday evening with the wife of Jim Shehee, a saloonkeeper. Mrs. Gibbs had been jealous of her husband for some time and as he and Mrs. Shehee were passing the village church Mrs. Gibbs came upon them. Gibbs drew his revolver and shot his wife, killing her instantly. Mrs. Shehee ran and Gibbs then shot and killed himself. Union Pacific Wreck OMAHA, NEB. — (Special.) The Overland Limited, east bound, and freight train No. 27, west bound, on the Union Pacific, collided head-on at Gilmore station, twelve miles west of here at 1 o'clock Thursday morning. The fireman on the freight is buried beneath the wreckage and is supposed to be dead. Five other trainmen are reported killed. A number of the passengers are reported injured. A wrecking crew and a corps of doctors have gone to the scene of the wreck. Gilmore is merely a switching station and there is no night operator there. 4 Famous Plantation Sold MEXICO CITY, MEX.—(Specialal). The famous old Cortez plantations, "Chivera" and "Tarifo", on the line of the Teahtapee railway, where the Spanish leader spent many days after the conquest of Mexico, were trans- ferred Wednesday by Julian Maquo, the their recent owner, to Timothy Col- rabin, of Kansas City, Mo. The two plantations contain 163,985 acres, and it is stated that the price paid was about $200,000, gold. Nebraska Young Woman Nebraska Young Woman Drowned, STANTON, NEB. (Special). Minnie nie and William Doetsch were returning home Monday night from a call at a neighbor's and were caught in the floods of Union Creek, a tributary of the Elkhorn river. Miss Doetsch was drowned. The boy escaped by clinging to a piece of floating debris that struck him as he fell. BRIEF BITS OF NEWS Dr. Daniel C. Gillman, for many years president of Johns Hopkins university, has been elected president of the American Bible Society. Secretary of State Sam B. Cook issued a call on the state banks in Missouri to report their financial condition at the close of business on February 28 last. In the Wisconsin assembly Friday, the bill providing for the taxation of railroad companies on the ad valorem basis was finally passed by unanimous vote, without a word of debate. The North Dakota legislature adjourned late last night. The bill, appropriating $50,000 for the St. Louis world's fair, was passed by both houses as was also the maximum coal rate bill. Mr. G. W. A. Gordon, of Jefferson The appropriation of $150,000 in Senator Smith's bill, providing for a California exhibit at the St. Louis exposition in 1904, was reduced to $130,000 by the California assembly Friday, upon the recommendation of the ways and means committee.

Y.—(Special.) A report from the scene of the accident at 1 o'clock Tuesday morning says twenty-two bodies have been taken from the wreckage. Some of them are burned beyond recognition, only the trunks and skulls remaining. OLEAN, N. Y.—(Special.) A score or more people were killed and a large number were injured by the explosion of oil near here Monday night. A freight train on the Erie, made up principally of oil tank cars filled with oil, broke in two near this city about 9 o'clock. The two sections of the train came together with a crash and one of the oil tanks was demolished. Fire broke out almost instantly and the sky was lighted up for miles. A large crowd of people left this city for the scene of the fire. While they were lined up along the tracks a terrific explosion occurred. The flames communicated with the other tank cars and a second and third explosion followed each other in rapid succession. Sheets of flame shot out in all directions. Scores of people were caught within the zone of the fire and enveloped in flames. Men and boys ran screaming down the tracks with their clothing ablaze. Others fell where they stood, overcome with the awful heat. Just how many were killed is not known, as many of the bodies were incinerated. Sydney Fish, a prominent business man, returned from the scene of the fire at midnight. He said: "I was attracted to the scene of the fire between 9:30 and 10 o'clock. When I was within a quarter of a mile of the wrecked train there was a terrific explosion. Flames shot outwards and upwards for a great distance. I saw several persons who started to run away drop on the railway tracks. They never moved again. Others who had been standing close to the wreckage were hurled through the air for hundreds of feet. The scene was awful. "Half a dozen young boys ran down the tracks with their clothing on fire. They resembled human torches. I could hear their agonized screams distinctly from where I stood. They ran some distance down the track and threw themselves to the ground, groveling in the ditches in their frantic efforts to extinguish the flames. They lay still, some of them unconscious, others dead. I do not know how many were killed, but I counted twenty bodies before I came away." Word was sent at once to Olean police headquarters by telephone. Every doctor and ambulance in the city was summoned. Grocery wagons and carriages of all kinds were pressed into service, and everything possible was done to bring the injured without delay to the hospitals for treatment. At midnight the first of the injured arrived at the hospital. They were four boys. Their injuries were frightful. Great patches of flesh were burned off and hung in shreds from their bodies. It will be difficult to ascertain the names of a great many of the dead, as their bodies were burned to ashes in the intense heat. A canvass is being made of the city as rapidly as possible to find out the names of those missing. There is great excitement in the city and the streets are thronged with people. Large crowds gathered at the hospital and the faces of the injured were anxiously scanned as they were borne into the building on stretchers. Heart-rending scenes were witnessed when one of the poor, blistered bodies was recognized by a father, or mother or brother, and it was with difficulty that persons were restrained from invading the operating room. POSTAL WIRES CUT. Western Union Objected to Having Them on Their Poles. BALTIMORE—(Special). Wednesday lineinem of the Western Union Telegraph company went about the city cutting down the Postal Telegraph-Cable Company's wires wherever they found them strung to Western Union poles. Benjamin F. Moore, local manager of the Postal, reports that a large number of wires running into the broker's offices connecting with stock tickers as well as wires to call boxes to distant parts of the city have been cut during the day. John I. Creamer, the local manager of the Western Union, in a statement, says: "I received orders from my superior officers to do this work and I have done it. Every postal wire on our poles has been cut. We told them to get off, but they did not do it." Killed His Stepfather GUTHRIE, O. T.—(Special). E. O. Putman, aged 20 years, walked into the sheriff's office at Ely Reno. O. T., Friday night and surrendered to that officer, saying he had killed his stepfather, James Walker, at noon that day. Putman had wounds on his arm, chin and chest, made with a knife, although none of them is considered serious. An investigation proved that Walker had been abusing his wife, when Putman interfered and was attacked with a knife by Walker. Putman seized a revolver and shot his stepfather, killing him instantly. Union Pacific Wreck DENVER.—(Special). No. 1. westbound, and No. 4. eastbound, met head-on at Megeath, fifty miles east of Sydney, Neb., on the Union Pacific at an early hour Monday morning. No. 4 had orders to meet No. 1 there and to take the siding, but the air refused to work and the eastbound train crashed into the flyer. Three engines were badly damaged, but as far as can be learned no one was injured. Traffic was not delayed to any great extent, for No. 4 was not running fast. LEAVE TO PRINT. If it is given, Morgan Will Not Oppose Canal Treat. WASHINGTON. — (Special.) The senate committee on foreign relations will meet Wednesday to take up the Cuban treaty. Quite a number of Democratic senators are opposed to the treaty, and, while they say they have no desire to prevent a vote, they intend briefly to present their views on the measure. The Republicans who favor the treaty count on three or four more votes than the necessary two-thirds majority to ratify it. There is a probability of some discussion of the constitutional rights of the senate to make a treaty affecting the revenues of the government without concurrence of the house of representatives. Some opponents of the Cuban treaty have told members of the foreign relations committee that they think it is such an important question that the treaty might be delayed until the regular session of congress. Others have suggested that there should be an amendment providing that the treaty should not become operative until its provisions have been approved by the house. Some members of the committee think that the much disputed question ought to go to the supreme court and be settled there. It is the present intention of the foreign relations committee to press the Cuban treaty to *vote at soon as the Colombian treaty is out of the way.* The committee agreed to report favorably the Colombian canal treaty (7) During the session of the committee, Senator Morgan offered to consent to a vote on the Colombian canal treaty at 2 o'clock on Saturday, provided the senate would consent to allow him to print such remarks as he wanted in the Congressional Record, or as a public document. Members of the committee later discussed the proposition with other senators and the consensus of opinion seemed to be against granting the permission. Some of the remarks heretofore made by Senator Morgan reflected rather severely on the Colombian government, and especially on the President of Colombia, and senators think it would be inadvisable to give official sanction to such utterances by allowing them to appear in the records of the senate. It also is feared that the Colombian government might take offense and fail to ratify the treaty, and it is asserted that ratification for the treaty can be accomplished even if no agreement is reached. UTAH BUFFALO HUNT. Three Vicious Bulls Killed by Party of Salt Lake Men. SALT LAKE, U.—(Special.) A buffalo hunt—a rare occurrence even in the West, where formerly they roamed the plains in herds many thousand strong—took place Monday on Antelope Island, in the Great Salt lake, fifty miles from this city. The hunters were a party of Salt Lakers and their game three magnificent bulls among a private herd of buffalo on the island. These animals had become so vicious that their presence was a constant menace not only to human life, but also, to the herds of cattle grazing on the island. The hunt was an exciting affair and several of the party had narrow escapes from death. Several times the animals, maddened by the stinging bullets, turned upon their pursuers, who escaped only by urging their mounts to the utmost speed. The buffalo fought with all the traditional courage and fierceness of their race, and not until their bodies were literally riddled with bullets did they give up the struggle. KNAPP AS A WITNESS. Summoned to Testify in Behalf of Man Accused of Assault. HAMILTON, O.—(Special.) Alfred A. Knapp, the confessed strangler of five women and children, was Wednesday subpoenaed to testify for the defendant in the case of Joseph Roth, who is to be tried here. charged with assault upon Hattie and Stella Motzer in this city last fall. Although Knapp has denied knowledge of this crime, Roth's counsel says that Knapp so closely resembles his client that he might have been mistaken for him by the children. In addition, Knapp, under the guise of a detective, tried to induce Mrs. Motzer to put the case in his hands. Train's Narrow Escape FRANKFORT, IND—(Special.) A hundred passengers and several officers of the Clover Leaf, including President Norton, had a miraculous escape Tuesday night on the Clover Leaf's eastbound fast express about a mile east of this city. As the train, going at the rate of forty miles an hour, rounded a sharp curve on a high grade, an axle on the engine broke and one wheel left the engine, being hurled several rods across a field. The side rods of the engine broke, but, as if by a miracle, the engine remained on the track and the train was brought to a standstill without injury to any of the passengers, only a few feet from a high bridge. She Shot a Miner BUTTE, MONT.—(Special.) Michael Keating, a miner, was shot and, it is believed, fatally wounded by Mrs. Edward Paver, who was tending bar in her husband's saloon. BRIEF BITS OF NEWS.

A Vast Number of Kidney Suffering People, Cured by Donn's Kidney Pills Golden Merk at your Command to Test. New Use for Corn Oil New Use for Corn Oil. The degerming of corn—that is, removing the yellow germ from the tip of each kernel—is necessary in all corn for export because the germs, when corn is in the hold of a vessel, start a fermentation which spoils the whole cargo. The product each year of this degerming is about 5,000,000 gallons of corn oil, which has heretofore been used to adulterate linseed oil, but now a process for clarifying it and removing its peculiar odor brings it into competition with olive and cottonseed oil. COLUMBUS CITY, IA., Feb. 10, 1903. — I received the sample package of Doan's Kidney Pills and took them according to directions. They did me so much good, I procured a 50 cent box at the drug store and have been greatly benefited.

ASKING QUESTIONS: An Inquiry Changed a Man's Who's Live. When you get a man to recognize that his bad feelings come from improper food and that he can get well by using scientific food, the battle is half won. One of New York's business men says: "I was troubled for a long time with indigestion, headache, and stomach trouble, and had taken various medicines, but with no good results. I concluded to see how a change of food would affect me. I never cared particularly for cereals of any kind, but ate meat and pastry continually and drank coffee. "I found on inquiring that Grape Nuts were highly spoken of, and decided to give them a trial. To say I was surprised at the result would not begin to do justice to my feelings. My headaches left me, my brain became clearer and active, my attacks of indigestion grew fewer and fewer until they ceased entirely, and where I once went home tired, fagged out and indisposed to any exertion whatever, I now found a different state of affairs. "My color was good, my muscles strong and firm and fully equal to anything I asked of them, instead of soft and flabby. I live two miles from my business and fit well if daily back and forth, if the weather permits. I am 55 years old and feel as well and strong as when I was 20, and can ride 70 miles a day on a bicycle without feeling any bad results." Name given by the Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

President Marvin Hughitt of the Chicago and Northwestern recently announced that his company has purchased and entered into possession of the Fremont, Elkhorn and Missouri valley railroad in Nebraska, Wyoming and South Dakota, and that it will be operated hereafter as the Nebraska and Wyoming division of the Northwestern system. Following this notice announcement was made by General Manager Gardner of the appointment of C. A. Cairns as general passenger agent of the Chicago and Northwestern, with headquarters at Chicago. Mr. Cairns has been assistant general passenger agent of the Northwestern since 1892, and for several years prior to that was assistant general passenger agent of the Chicago Grange.

It seems to us that some of the college presidents are permitting their apprehensiveness to get the better of them when they express the fact that the colleges will be studentless in a few years unless the graduates raise families and send their boys to alma mater. It is easy to demonstrate that any healthy boy can be taught a class yell in fifteen minutes, if proper patience and ingenuity are exercised. Many States Interested. "To stop perjury by parents," is one of the objects of two bills just introduced in the New York legislature.

He Went West and Prospered. Freeland, Kan., March 9th.—One of the most prosperous farmers in Harper County is Mr. N. H. Mead. Some thirty-four years ago he left his home near Clarence, N. Y., and came to Kansas. Here he has thrived splendidly, and last year harvested over one hundred and forty acres of wheat alone. But everything has not gone well with Mr. Mead, for his health has not been good for the last few years. He has suffered a great deal with Kidney and Bladder Trouble and could get nothing to stop it. Lately, however, he has improved a great deal, and he says that he has none of the old symptoms left and is feeling splendid again. He used Dodd's Kidney Pills and this remedy seemed to work wonders in his case. He says himself: "Dodd's Kidney Pills have made me well. They are all right and a reliable remedy for Kidney Trouble. They helped me right from the start, giving me great relief, and finally cured me." Every time one man goes up another has to come down. That's why there is always room at the top. TRADE MARK How?

Kansas Notes ```markdown ``` Mr. Dickerson, cashier of the collapsed Toronto State bank, has disappeared, and the depositors are guessing where he decided To-run-to. McPherson county has no criminal cases on its docket at this term of court, and the county jail is empty, but it has eight divorce cases to keep it from undue exultation. An armless drunken man was found in Salina this week, and the only theory the local detectives can solve is that he put his mouth to the faucet and turned it on with his feet. Since the Smith family has started a magazine all of its own, the Postlethwaites in Jewell county have concluded that they are almost numerous enough to establish something of the sort. Indignation, which was general in Coffeyville a few days ago when a citizen was robbed by a highwayman, has changed to mild surprise since the information has been added that the victim was an insurance agent. A Register reporter heard two lola women talking on a street car. One of them had just admitted that she and her husband had separated. "Yes, you see," she said, "I just couldn't stand it. I wouldn't have objected if he had got drunk on pay day, or twice on one pay day; but when it came to being drunk all the time I couldn't stand for it." The result of the Democratic primaries in Leavenworth was a great victory for Charles Taschetta.

"You come down there, some time," said the Emporia man, "and I'll show you a restaurant that keeps open till 12 o'clock every night." Dell Travis, the new fish commissioner, lives in Pratt county, which has no rivers. Its nearest approach to streams consist of two creeks, one of which flows into Medicine Lodge creek and the other into the North fork of the Ninnescah. Some of the car lines in Wichita have no conductors, and it devolves upon the motorman to collect the fares. A few days ago a man had left the car without paying and the motorman hailed him. "If you want your money, come and get it" he said. The motorman walked to the corner, whereupon the man offered him a half dollar. The driver took it and said, "If you want your change come to the car and get it." The client hesitated and asked the motorman to bring it to him. "I can't waste any more time," said the motorman. "you will find your change at the office of the company." Then he turned on his power and moved. C. E. Wantland is an agent of the Union Pacific land department, and the "Katy" is wondering if it couldn't use him in the Indian Territory. An Atchison man has the latest get-rich-quick scheme.

The members are to receive $10 a day, and the claimants are to get all they can. The cremery men held a convention in Salina. They pronounced it a good town to live in, and the Journal adds: "That's the verdict of all strangers." The Journal meant it to be complimentary to Salina, too. The legicature has allowed the governor $2,500 for a new barn and $900 for pictures and other mural decorations. The barn, it seems, is going to be nicely decorated. Attention is called by the Iola Register to the fact that the men also reserve the pith of their letters for the postscript. It cites the case of a man who recently married a Lawrence widow. In a letter home he tells at some length how charming she is. In the postscript he admits that she has $40,000. A Lawrence man was offered eighty acres of land in Kansas City West bottoms, on which the Union depot now stands, for $500 soon after the war. He thought the price was too high, so he bought Lawrence property instead. Mr. Hatch of Hutchinson counted his chickens too soon. He interfered in Len Lewis' family quarrel Saturday, and Lewis killed him. Kingman is an old fashioned sort of a place. A man was tried there recently for murder in the first degree and the jury found him guilty. In Emporia the divorced wife and other relatives of a man who died several months ago are fighting over the life insurance. Two clean towels and a bar of soap were placed in the Junction City Republic office and one of the printers found, after using them, that he had on a pair of fur gloves which he had missed since last Christmas. So many postoffice in Southeastern Kansas have been looted by safe blowers that Howard, in Elk county, protests that it has snubbed. The anti-lynching bill has passed both branches of the legislature. It is the most stringent law of its kind ever devised. The law requiring plumbers to pass an examination before they are eligible to "practice" in Kansas has been passed. There is some curiosity to know how the piano tuners happen to escape. W. A. Morgan sold the Chase County Leader last week to W. C. Austin. Mr. Morgan, who is the father of "Billy" Morgan, the present state printer, went to Cottonwood Falls in 1871 and established the Leader, which he has edited ever since. The change of management takes place with "Vol. XXXIII, No. 1." A Talking Club. A public forum in which anybody may talk for five minutes or for ten, if the majority of the audience approves, has been opened in Boston. It is proposed to spread this means of relief through New England and the rest of the country. A sounding name, the Federated Fellowship of Forums, has been adopted; and now Rome will be made to howl in good earnest. Clder Sold by the Hour. In many towns and villages in German Switzerland says a Geneva dispatch to the London Chronicle, elder is so plentiful and cheap this year that the cafe and innkeepers are actually selling the beverage by the hour. A customer pays a certain sum, which varies in the different districts, for the first hour, and the cider is supplied libitum. The price is reduced for each succeeding hour. Can Not See the Joke The Tennessee legislature recently passed a bill to prohibit kissing among unmarried persons between the ages of sixteen and forty-five. The bill was introduced by Representative Barnes of Lauderdale county. Before it passed it was so amended as to apply only to Mr. Barnes. Now the author is trying to get the governor to veto it. Origin of Mortgages. Ninety-five per cent of mortgages, as shown by the census, are made in order to increase the original holding of property or to raise money for business operations, and but 5 per cent are because of threatened disaster. Eligible for Membership Senator Elect Ankeny of Washington is president of six different national banks and the richest capitalist in the state. He is therefore supposed to be qualified for membership in the national 'millionaires' club." Europeans and Americans. The average European is five feet six and seventen-thirds inches high; the average American five feet seven and eight-thents. Their respective weights are 138 and 141 pounds. History of War's Weapons. Prof. G. C. Maynard, Department of Technology, Washington, has in preparation a volume on all the guns and rifles that have been used by the United States army. Spent Much Money in Vain. It is said that John Edward Addicks, who ever since 1888 has been trying to get himself elected United States senator from Delaware, has spent close to $1,000,000 in the vain effort. As a result of his fight the state had but one senator for four years and for two years it has had none at all. DONT SPOIL YOUR CLOTHES. Use Red Cross Ball Blue and keep them white as snow.

A GREAT many remedies to temporarily relieve catarrh have been devised from time to time, such as sprays, snuffs, creams and other local applications, but, as a rule, the medical profession has little or no enthusiasm in the treatment of catarrh. It is generally pronounced by them to be incurable. It therefore created a great sensation in medical circles when Dr. Hartman announced that he had devised a compound which would cure catarrh permanently. The remedy was named Peruna and in a short time became known to thousands of catarrh sufferers north, south, east and west. Letters testifying to the fact that Peruna is a radical cure for catarrh began to pour in from the outside. Thousands of such letters are on file in the office of The Peruna Medicine Co. inport. Rose E. E. Stubenell, Pella, Wis., writes: "I feel obliged to extend-you my personal thanks for my complete restoration. All through the winter I suffered from throat and lung trouble, but recovered my entire health by the use of your excellent remedy, Peruna." The following letter from a prominent gentleman of Los Angeles, is a case in point: Mr. J. W. Fuller, President of the Jewelers Association of California, in business in that city for seventeen years out of the forty-five that he has been engaged in business. Concerning his experience with Peruna he says: WEAKN CONSTIPATION STARTS CURE IT AND YOUR AIL Mull's Grape Tonic When the bodily sys frequent fests itse and other bowels we use Mull ordinary gentle la flesh-bul than cod recommen Tonic wi ate case affiliation No matt disorder, diarrhea when the undigested food remain empties highly diseased germs in malaria, Mull's Grape Tonic will will be sent free to any address on by the Lightning Medicine Co., R druggist.

John A Salzer Seed Co. LA CROSSE WIS. "I was troubled with catarh of the head for many years. It affected my sense of smell, hearing and sight. I spent lots of money with doctors and the use of local applications to relieve me but to no purpose, until my attention was called to the wonderful effects of Peruna. "I thought say that I met with most surprising and satisfactory results, Peruna took hold of the complaint and drove it entirely out of my system. "Although well along toward the allotted span of man's life I am pleased as a child over the results, and feel like a young man again."—J. W. Fuller. Such letters as the above are not used for publication except by the written permission of the writer. A pamphlet with such letters will be sent to any address free.

State Ledger BY F. L. JELTZ. $2.00 per year 6 months $1.00 3 months 5.00 A little girl in town was told to change her stockings because one had a whole in it. Instead of doing so she got some shoe blacking and blacked her leg where the whole was. It is thought this method may become quite popular, but not before next summer- A man died lately in Kansas who had so many relatives that when they had all signed the card thanking the friends who had "as sisted in the death and burial" the paper ooked like a delinquene tax list. An editor one time after donnt in a new suit of clothes was the recipient of sly glances from n's neighbors whom he met upon the street, and after arriving at home was chased several blocks by his own dog. It is so seldom an editor has a new suit that it cau es him to appear very odd indeed. A Missouri paper tells of a man named Jones, a new comer, having deposited $100 in the preacher's salary box one Sunday recently. The preacher asked why he had been so generous and he said he had just engaged in business in business jin the town and he wanted to help along the cause. Then the preacher announced that he would surely patronize Mr. Jones and asked all the congregation who would do likewise to get up. The whole congregation arose and then the preacher asked Mr. Jones what his business was and he replied, 'I am a saloon keeper. J. L.
