When the devil pursues us we will hinder still. Surely we are not going to let these fellows who want to us us and we not present it. We shall see that our people shall against their interest and thus keep them on the "bum." We may not get them all to vote for Air- craft and barley but we will get eough to carry the comma ion and return in the fall. We reach near 40 cities and towns in Kansas, we allow but we are ours. All the "Ledger" wants is a fain- now at those rascals that, lied on us, don't care a dm what you don't at you say you are going to caten- oposition in no uncertain terms, the Topeka (booster) Capital can be the devil but we are 'awful funk' and from Misery (Mo) you not show us—we will not join a wailing band like Stubbs, like Hoch, ke Arthur Capper, like old Joe udson, like Dell Keizer and we althink they can get along with us. Now let them rip; Bailey's re- dis clear—no bood'ig, G. Fairchild For Legislature - City District Mr.W.G; Fairchild a young man more than ordinary prominence is candidate for the Legislature to suc- cid A.F. Williams. Mr Fairechild has practiced law in city three years; having read law the office of W. F. Schooch, Curtis ord and williams. This young man is strong backing among the young bills and there is no question in nomination. The man 'was' who opposes him has been in titles till the people are tired of him want new timber. Bird was so to give up after 8 years in all the State ledger does not desire to error, but we think Bird has had enough without opposing a young like Mr. Fairechild who is trying ascend the ladder; if the people will right they will ect him. John T. Chaney whose announcement appears in this paper has served otems in the Senate and desies be returned, if he is re-elected he will keep up the same good work he carried out, on standing up for the oteom he was sent to re- present, Mr. Chaney is a young man and fully apprecates the needs of his friends.

He don't respect us now if he will before Nov. next it all well. This paper shall not go again Bailey nor Albaugh be- cause the Capital, Herald and mail and Breeze can't "boss them" Judge McCabe present judge of the city court needs no special notice on account of his wide acceptance at the bar, he is a young man of "great worth" and desires to be promoted to a better position than he now holds.

COUNCIL GROVE, AS SEEN BY THE WRITER. Council Grove, the County seat of Morris County is one of the most prosperous counties in the state. The city has at least a population of nearly three thousand souls. The home of Gov. Richter, Geo. P. Moorehouse, Judge Beutram and Judge Nicholson all of whom are noted or more or less identified in County and state politics: The city has unforgouged a city of heart. Since Marshall William Lindsay has been in charge everything has been quiet and now you can't hear scraps of any kind to break the monotony of the "city's rep." During our short stay in "the grove the good people were all that could be asked. We met. Sheriff Piensenberger. County clerk Loomis, Miss Kate Berhing, the affable lady Couty Treasurer, and Probate Judge Johnson and large number of good merchants who came to our rescue in a financial way. There are many good lunch room in the grove for instance Mrs S. Shiley operates the good old style home cooking restaurant cakes and pre "like mother makes" Mr. H. L. Woodard has the Bakery, restaurant and meals for the hungry and thirsty. Mr. Staley the Marble and Granite king is carrying every thing up to date. Council Grove is practically equally divided and across the river Mr. J. L. Patrick and W L. Patter son of the Midland hotel is doing the "buis." A B. Spencer and son are doing the Real Estate business to a great extent parties, desiring homes will do well to confer with them. The Council Grove Steam Laundry, by Mr. O. J. Nebel is a business catcher he recieves a large number of shipments all over the County and State as he turns out only first class work. We feel ourselves indebted to the business men of Council Grove and cannot refrain giving them high praise for the way they served us when there, but we cannot say it all in this issue. The McDonald Brothers who operates the Savings Bank store are all gentlemen, and several brothers, of them who are pleased to have you call. Messrs Deter and Jailite are second to none in real estate; the main street Hotel operated by Wm Fitzgerald at $1 per day is the right kind of place to stop. All in all our visit' to the Grove was a pleasant one. Hobart's "CUT RATE DRU& STORE" 510 W. 10th St. Topeka SABETHA ADS. F. B. Ketchum, Proprietor of The Saoetha Cash Feed Store.

Osage City Kans. In their accounts of church socials the Eldorado papers still refer to oysters as "bivalves." Arthur Farwell, editor of the Wa Wan Press and a club women's idol, was entertained in Topeka and Kinsley recently. He is touring the Western states—a sort of Farwell tour. Dr. Snow reported that last month was much warmer than the December average; but January starts out with the evident determination to restore the mean temperature back to the normal. The Parsons postoffice causes more trouble in Washington than any other half dozen postoffices in the state. Parsons might be cured of the "affidavit" habit by being required to go to Oswego or Chetopa for its mail for a brief while. Fort Riley is reported to have four times as many officers as any army post in the country, which the Ottawa Herald construes as proof that the Kansas instinct of office holding prevails even in the army. Another of the Martindale lawsuits—one of the Emporia bank's fifty-seven varieties—will be tried in the supreme court this week. The principal purpose of these cases is to make as much trouble as possible for Martindale and to embitter his declining years. The whole business is an outgrowth of the Town Row in Emporia. Bent Murdock pretends to agree with the Chicago professor who has declared that bathing is unhealthful. "If," he says, "you want to have tonsilitis, bronchitis, meningitis, hippotitis or any other kind of itis, take hot baths. If you are anxious to die, bathe every day. If you wish to make a sewer of your skin, bathe early and often. Water kills its thousands every year. If you will only soak yourself in water often enough, you will take every kind of disease that comes along. One can keep perfectly clean with a very little water, and the less water you use inside or out the longer you will live." A Seneca han has taken his family to California "for the winter", although there is enough winter in the vicinity of Seneca to satisfy anyone. Jewell county must be coming with Leavenworth in the matter of nomenclature. It has its Knappenbergers, its Wesselslowskis and its Schmidt Vonseckendorffs. A Wichita man advertises in the Eagle: "A gentleman found $10 in a valuable purse last evening. He will keep the money for honesty, but he would gladly restore the purse to the owner for a reward commensurate with its value. Inquire, etc." Stafford county also puts forward a claim for the Meanest Man. A local paper relates that he put a porcelain egg in the nest of an ambitious hen, and found that the eggs she laid were of increased size. Then he put a goose egg in the nest; the aforesaid hen laid an egg just as large. He was so pleased with the scheme that he put a whitewashed foot ball in the nest and awaited results. When he went the next time to search for eggs he found one as high as a foot ball, but no hen in sight. Securing the egg, he saw negraed on it by the hen photography these words: "I'm no ostrich, but I have done my best." Later he found the hen inside of the egg. THREE CARDINAL POINTS BLOOD HEALTH HAPPINESS It is a fact that, with impoverished or unhealthy condition of the blood, suffering, ill health and unhappiness must result. Rich, Red, Radiant Blood means to the possessor splendid health, and health means happiness to the vast extent physical condition may exert its influence.

Do you feel that you must have rest and are unequal to your daily tasks and responsibilities? Does your body ache and pain all over from lack of circulation and proper nutrition? Does your system need to be built up and held there? If these and similar conditions exist, speedy relief and permanent cure are within your reach. EUPARILLA Is a Blood Purifier and Tonic without equal. It will increase vital activity. It will give you the buoyant and happy feeling of youth renewed and health restored. You can purchase at your Druggist's. NOTABLE EVENTS OF THE YEAR 1903. The year 1903 will be known as the record year of prosperity in the United States. Some few crops have not yielded so largely as they did in former years, but the prices received were so much higher that the shortage was more than made up for. Cotton reached the highest figure at which it has been sold since the war. Beef and leather have been unprecedentedly high. Petroleum and its products advanced in price 25 per cent. Iron and steel were sold at high prices and the demand was so great that orders could not be filled within a reasonable time, and seaport cities made large purchases abroad because deliveries were so much delayed. The production of precious metals will probably turn out to be nearly 7 per cent greater than last year. The rice crop of Texas, a new industry practically, was remarkably large and sold for high figures. Tremendous discoveries of petroleum on the Pacific coast enabled that part of the country to substitute six million dollars' worth of oil for coal, which was previously imported either from Great Britain or Australia. The total destruction of the fruit crop in Great Britain and in southern Europe made an unexpected market for American green fruits. More than 70 per cent of all the fruits sold in the London markets to-day is American. The average increase in the cost of foodstuffs to the consumer in the United States was 16 per cent. In nearly all of the large cities throughout the country the population has increased, and the price of real estate has done more than keep pace with the general march of prosperity. Under the circumstances, the country has every right to look forward to a continuance of prosperity. Our granaries are growing with the products of an abundant harvest. Our savings banks overflow with the reserves of the people. Our scale of expenditure is the highest the world has ever known. The area of land which will be plowed and seeded this winter and next spring will exceed the area tilled last year. It is inevitable that a prosperous harvest brings a greater seed sowing. The greatly increased demand for cattle and horses means more stock. Breeding pastures will be fuller next year than they were ever before. THE YEAR IN REVIEW Momentous Events That Have Signal moved the Past Twelve Months ized the Past Twelve Months. The all-absorbing topic of January, 1903, was the Venezuelan imbrogio. The active events of that affair belong, of course, to 1902, though as late as Jan. 22 the German ships bombarded the fort of San Carlos, but on Jan. 8 President Castro rested Venezuela's side of the case entirely in the hands of Minister Bowen, who set sail for home Jan. 11. After that the whole matter was thrashed out in Washington, and the interest in the affair remained keen to the very close, because many thought they saw in the warlike action of the allies, especially Germany, a determination to attack not Venezuela so much as Uncle Sam's famous Monroe doctrine. The attempt, if it were really so intended, completely failed, for, though pitted against some of the most astute diplomats of Europe, Minister Bowen persistently upheld the real rights of the weaker country and negotiated terms of settlement favorable to Venezuela without calling the time-honored doctrine into question or dispute. The Great Coal Strike. The anthracite coal strike belongs even more to the history of 1902 than does the Venezuelan affair and the deliberations of the arbitration commission attracted even less general interest than their importance justified. The commission entered into the matter most thoroughly and systematically. The last witness was not called until Feb. 5 and the arguments of the opposing counsel consumed the following week. President George F. Baer represented the operators and Clarence Darrow the miners. After a month's deliberations the commission reported. The miners won a portion of increase in wages and reduction of hours of work demanded before the strike, were granted a better system of measuring their work and a practical, if not a formal, recognition of their union. The decision was a victory for the miners especially as they wouldingly have accepted the terms allowed before they began the strike had not the mine operators refused to concede, arbitrate or negotiate. The Panama Canal. The Panama canal was the burning question, and at the beginning, as at the close of this year, it seemed a certainty. For years the agitation in TOLD OF "JOSH BILLINGS." "How Tall Be You?" Said He to the Digmore Horace This account of a trip which Mr. Hoar, when a young man, took with Horace Gray through Berkshire county, is from the Senator's autobiography: On our walk trough Lanesboro we stopped at a plain country tavern to get lunch. There were several codgers such as in those days used to haunt country barrooms about eleven o'clock in the morning and one o'clock in the afternoon. Sitting in an old wooden chair, tilted back against the wall of the room, was one of them, curled up, with his knees sticking up higher than his head. He looked at Gray's stately proportions and called out, "How tall be you?" Gray, who was always rather careful of his dignity, made some brief answer not intended to encourage familiarity. But the fellow persisted. "I would like to measure with you." Gray concluded it was best to enter into the humor of the occasion. So he favor of a canal across the Isthmus of Panama had been agitated, and recently with increased interest. Thousands of dollars had been spent surveying the possible routes, and it at last seemed assured that the United States, in conjunction with Great Britain, would undertake the Nicaragua route. Since the collapse of the De Lessep's Panama scheme a new French company had possession of and had done some work on the Panama canal, but until it became evident that this country was in earnest about Nicaragua the French company refused to sell out at a reasonable price.

They offered to sell their concessions and everything in sight for $40,000,000, giving until March 4 for acceptance. Congress hesitated, many favoring the Nicaragua route, and when the time was about to expire President Roosevelt took the responsibility of accepting the proposition, running the risk of defeat in the senate or in Colombia. In the meantime Secretary Hay and Dr. Herran, the Colombian charge 'affairs', signed a treaty by which the United States agreed to pay Colombia a bonus of $10,000,000 and an annual rental of $250,000 for such concessions as the French company had received. It was the ratification of this treaty that brought the question to the issue in the senate, and when congress adjourned without action an extra session was called. This session ratified the treaty March 17. stood up against the wall. The other man proceeded to draw himself up out of the chair and unrolled, and unrolled, and unrolled until at last his gigantic stature reached up almost as high as Gray's. But he fell short a little. I learned later that it was a man named Shaw, who afterward became famous as a writer and humorist under the pseudonym of Josh Billings. He was the son of Henry Shaw, formerly of Lanesboro, at that time a millionaire dwelling in New York, and known to fame as one of the two Massachusetts representatives who voted for the Missouri compromise in 1820. Henry Shaw was, I believe, a native of Lanesboro, and had represented the Berkshire district in Congress." Gen. Sickles a New York Alderman. Gen. Daniel E. Sickles, who was elected an anti-Tammany alderman, was sworn in by Mayor Low. He carried with him to the mayor's office a little King Charles spaniel, which he said was to be his assistant when he took his seat in the board of the town. Disastrous Floods. Little can be said here of the disastrous floods of the year. In March the lawyer Mississippi rose higher than ever before, and on the 20th of that month passed all records. Cities along the river, especially Memphis, suffered heavily, levees gave way and miles of lowlands were inundated, causing untold damage and great suffering, especially to the poor negroes of the South. The following month and in June the Missouri and its tributaries were flooded, and Topeka, Kansas City, St. Louis and East St. Louis suffered from the rush of waters. The cotton mills in the Carolinas and Georgia were also victims of the raging waters and many other cities, notably Pater- MAY MAY 1—King Edward welcomed in Paris. 2—Bishop Foster died, Newton. 3—Kaiser visited the Pope. 4—Bishop Hurst died, Washington. 5—Str.

That aged pontiff was 93 years of age on March 2, and on March 3 celebrated the twenty-fifth anniversary of his coronation as pope, thus putting an end to the long-honored tradition that no pontiff would "see the days of the Peter"—25 years. Pope Leo's predecessor had reigned 32 years, the longest in history, and the old tradition cannot survive this second breaking of the record. On July 5 the pontiff was regarded as in a critical condition, and in a few days his life was despaired of, but though apparently frail in body, the long years of simple habits had given him a splendid power of resistance to disease, and for more than two weeks he battled War Has Been Declared on the Wolves of the Ocean One of the great problems which is interesting the people of the Atlantic coast, and especially that part of the coast lying between Casco Bay, Me, and Cape Hatteras, N. C., is the extermination of the dogfish. The dogfish is a species of the shark and has a habit of following its prey in packs. This fish uses its spine in a remarkable manner, bending itself into the form of a bow, and unbending with a powerful spring. It is caught in nets which have been set for other fish, and sometimes measures three or four feet in length. These fish have multiplied very much of late, and as nothing has been done to exterminate them, the people of the Atlantic coast have thought it their duty to bring the matter before the government in the form of a petition which will be placed before Congress. Dogfish, the sea wolves of the ocean, infest the Atlantic coast within a great range of latitude in schools, and each dogfish, which weighs five pounds, will it is --- with the ravages of pleural pneumonia. On July 20, however, he died, and on the following day the chair of Peter was declared vacant by Cardinal Camerlingo Oreglia. The conclave to choose his successor assembled on the last day of the month, and on Aug. 4, after several indecisive ballots, chose Cardinal Sarto, Patriarch of Venice, who was elected. He chose the title of Plus X. and was crowned Aug. 4. Eventful August. August was an eventful month. On the 8th Lieutenant General Nelson A.

The event of Aug. 12 was more significant, for on that day misguided Colombians brewed trouble for themselves. On that day the Colombian senate rejected the Hay-Herran Panama canal treaty, and this unexpected action seemed for the time to put the canal farther away than ever. Even the chagrin that accompanied the turn of affairs gave place to expectancy when Sir Thomas Lipton arrived with his third challenger for America's cup—Shamrock III. The boat had been launched in March and even before the defender had taken definite shape news of its wonderful sailing capacity was flashed across the Atlantic. Not a few anticipated that upon this expedition the gallant Irishman would be successful in carrying back the trophy. He was, however, doomed to a crushing defeat. estimated, eat and destroy a large quantity of edible food fish yearly. Not only do the dogfish eat the valuable fish, but they eat the food of the same food fish, thus doing double injury to the nation's fisheries.—Boston Transcript. Expressive Eyes. The eye reveals character, but unfortunately not so clearly as the other features, though the contrary is supposed to be true. People are too much influenced by the color of the eye, which is after all no guide, and they are too much influenced by the size and the luster, whereas neither is any indication whatever of character, says the Chattanooga Times. Acceptable Christmas Presents. Judge John H. Terry of St. Louis, a large property tenant, sent each of his thirty-eight tenants a basket of choice viands on Christmas day. This was regarded by them as decidedly more acceptable than the notification most of the landlords of that city sent out that rents would be increased with the opening of the world's fair year. Even the first trial, which resulted in no race, so clearly demonstrated the superiority of the Rellance that interest began to wane at once. The Rellance won three straight races, but before the last race the public in general lost all interest in the contest. Sir Thomas, it is said, believes the effort to be hopeless for many years to come. Republic of Panama. As in several other instances in 1903 momentous events conspired to occur on the same day, so on Nov. 3 the province of Panama declared her independence of Colombia. The following day a provisional government was established, and Colombian officials and troops were sent to Cartagena. On the 6th the United States recognized the new republic, and on the 10th France followed our example. M. Hunau-Varilla was hurried to Washington as the minister of the new country, empowered to negotiate a new Panama canal pact. Soon after General Reyes of Colombia entered an earnest protest against the course of the administration, insisting that Uncle Sam keep his hands off the isthmus. This, after the practical breach of faith and the vacillation of the Colombians in regard to the canal treaty, was too tardy, and Uncle Sam's navy is preparing to protect Panama from threatened invasion. Already an American fleet is upon the Panama coast, and Colombia has reached a point when she confesses a fear of taking any drastic action. A new canal treaty has been signed, and once again the canal seems assured. There may, however, be some blood shed on the isthmus before Colombia finally relinquishes her claim to Panama. Russia and Japan. For the last few months the everlasting refrain has been of "war clouds hovering over the far east." A dozen times it has been reported that Japan and Russia had reached a point where war was inevitable. The causes of the breach are vague and indefinite. Briefly, Russia is and always has been averse to relinquishing her hold on Manchuria. Instead she desires to extend it as far as the European allies will permit. Japan looks upon Korea in the same light and the interests of the two countries conflict. There is no doubt that a rupture between the two powers has been and is dangerously near, but it is also certain that overt hostilities, should they come, will belong to the history of 1904. It would be improper not to mention the gigantic postoffice frauds unearthed during the present year. It is not possible to so much as outline the many cases brought to light, and here the curious reader is referred to the complete report of Mr. Bristow, made public Nov. 30. The Honored Dead.

Sheridan's Terse Comment on Washington Pension Office From an artistic standpoint the least attractive of the government buildings at Washington is that of the Pension Office, sometimes derisively referred to as "Melgs's barn," in view of the fact that Gen. Melgs, U. S. A., was the architect of the structure. It is said that at a time when the building was nearing completion the late Gen. Sheridan was invited by the architect to inspect it. In company with Gen. Melgs, Sheridan went thoroughly over the structure from top to bottom without offering any comment, but when the inspection was finished he turned to his guide and said: "Melgs, I have but one fault to find with this building." "And what is that, general?" "It is, I understand, fireproof!" Unique Saleswomen.

It's easy to understand how ordinary people get fooled by coffee when doctors themselves sometimes forget the facts. A physician speaks of his own experience: "I had used coffee for years and really did not exactly believe it was injuring me although I had palpitation of the heart every day. "Finally one day a severe and almost fatal attack of heart trouble frightened me and I gave up both tea and coffee, using Postum instead, and since that time I have had absolutely no heart palpitation except on one or two occasions when I tried a small quantity of coffee which caused severe irritation and proved to me I must let it alone. "When we began using Postum it seemed weak—that was because we did not make it according to directions—but now we put a little bit of butter in the pot when boiling and allow the Postum to boil full 15 minutes which gives it the proper rich flavor and the deep brown color. "I have advised a great many of my friends and patients to leave off coffee and drink Postum; in fact, I daily give this advice." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Many thousands of physicians use Postum in place of tea and coffee in their own homes and prescribe it to patients. "There's a reason."

PINKHAM:—Ignorance and neglect are the cause of untold female suffering, not only with the laws of health but with the chance of a cure. I did not heed the warnings of headaches, organic pains, and general weariness, until I was well nigh prostrated. I knew I had to do something. Happily I did the right thing. I took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound faithfully, according to directions, and was rewarded in a few weeks to find that my aches and pains disappeared, and I again felt the glow of health through my body. Since I have been well I have been more careful, I have also advised a number of my sick friends to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and they have never had reason to be sorry.

For 45 years he has suffered with Kidney Trouble and now at 77 years of age he has found a complete cure and is well. His cure is remarkable because of the length of time he had been suffering. Cases of 40 years' standing might be considered incurable, but the remedy that cured Mr. Gentry seems to know no limit to its curative power. Mr. Gentry says: "I have suffered with misery in my back tor about 45 years and had all the troublesome symptoms of Kidney and Urinary disease. I tried various kinds of remedies, but all to no effect until I tried Dodd's Kidney Pills. Now I have no pain in my back, and feel quite well in every way. "I am 77 years of age and I feel better than I have for the last 40 years. I attribute it all to Dodd's Kidney Pills."

BUT NO DEFINITE PLAN IS ADOPTED First, American Life and Property Are to Be Protected—Commander Dillingham, of the Detroit, Forbids Fighting Within Prescribed Limits—Firm Government From Now On. WASHINGTON.—(Special.) With a firm hand the government at Washington from now on will protect American life and property in the island of Santo Domingo. The following dispatch received at the navy department Wednesday from Commander Dillingham, commanding the Detroit, dated at Puerto Plata, January 6, was made public by order of the secretary: "In this vicinity anarchy prevails, business at a standstill. Puerta Plata quiet at present. Jiminez authorities collecting duties and dues. Jiminez at Santiago. Revolution not one of principle, but between factions. Will not allow interruption of commerce. Went to Sosua morning of January 3; returned to Puerta Plata Tuesday afternoon to see Cherokee out of port. Will coal her to-day and return to Sosua. Fighting at Sosua December 26 between Morales and Jiminez troops took place on United Fruit Company's property. Without notice, houses were looted, lives of United States citizens absolutely disregarded, women and children had to flee for safety, property destroyed. Have forbidden any fighting or any armed force of any party within certain limits necessary to protect lives of United States citizens at Sosua. Commanding officers in the field near Sosua have been so instructed. Left one officer, sixteen marines, Colt automatic gun and steam launch at Sosua to see my instructions carried out until my return. Am in signal carried out with this force; can control situation. Consuls here want guard. Do not think it necessary. Am all ready when necessary. British steamer Pallas here. Have joined British captain in note to military commander here holding him responsible for any disorder and telling him that we would take such prompt action as we see fit in case of disorder." It is said that the administration has as yet adopted no permanent policy for the conduct of affairs in Santo Domingo, beyond that which it has always pursued, of protecting American life and property. The statement is authorized that the conduct of Commander Dillingham, while following only general instructions, is entirely indorsed and approved by the government, and it is believed that his intelligent handling of the situation will have a powerful influence toward the restoration of order on the island. It can be announced that the Washington government earnestly hopes that order will come out of chaos in the island and a firm government established, under which Americans and other foreigners will receive, in the future, adequate protection. It is realized by the administration It is realized by the administration that the Dominican problem must be taken up and disposed of in a way that will stop what was described by a European ambassador as "an insufferable nuisance, which the civilized worlds looks to the United States to clean up." FEWER FAILURES IN 1903. The Liabilities, However, Showed a Big Increase. NEW YORK.—(Special.) There were 9,768 failures reported to Bradstreet's in the calendar year 1903, with liabilities of $154,277,993, and assets of $84,600,475. This marked a decrease in number of just 2 per cent from 1902 and of 8 per cent from 1901. With the exception of 1899, the increase over which is 1.4 per cent, the year 1903 shows the smallest number of failure casualties reported since 1887. Liabilities, however, owing primarily to the increase in suspensions of financial institutions, but also because of the considerable number of heavy manufacturing concerns suspending, were larger by 45 per cent than those of 1902, and the heaviest, in fact, since 1897. There were 956 failures, involving $8,323,362 of liabilities and $3,852,197 of assets, in the Dominion of Canada in 1903, a decrease of 12 per cent in number on a practically identical total of liabilities. Forty-three Are Killed. SYDNEY, N. S. W.—(Special). Forty-three persons have been killed by the explosion of the boilers on the British, cruiser Wallaroo.

During the proceedings, physicians testified that Dungyersky was irresponsible and the proceedings fell through. Behaved Very Badly. NEWPORT, R. I.—(Special). Advices received here indicate that the torpedo boat destroyers, which were recently tested in rough weather on a run from Norfolk to Key West, behaved unsatisfactorily. The destroyers were the Decatur, Chancey, Bainbridge, Barry and Date. The board of inspection and survey accompanied the flotilla. The boats behaved very badly. It is stated that they took in water, and that the boilers foamed instead of making steam. THE MARKETS. Review of the Market at the Principal Cities. LIVESTOCK LIVESTOCK.

Too Many Changes in Army Uniform Made by Kaiser. BERLIN.—(Special.) Emperor William's recent order that officers of the army must wear shoulder straps on their cloaks and also that these cloaks must be made with certain folds in the back, is the cause of considerable discontent in the army because it is regarded as an unnecessary expense. Many retired officers, writing on the subject to the newspapers, reflect the dissatisfaction felt by the officers in active service with the frequent changes in their uniforms. The Schlesische Zeitung of Breslau, a stanch monarchial organ, prints a complete list of the changes in the uniforms of officers which have been made during the reign of the present emperor and which number thirty. Had at Least Three Wives MINNEAPOLIS.-(Special.) Samuel C. Hazzard, arrested Tuesday on the charge of bigamy, according to the testimony of three women, is the husband of three women at least. Strangest of all, two of these wives lived in the same block. Linda Burfield, of this city, whom Hazzard claims is his only and legal wife, made the following statement: "I am the only legal wife of Mr. Hazzard. I was divorced and then remarried him. I was called into the house where he lives with another woman to treat him for an illness. I fell in love with him and he fell in love with me. He was not married to the woman, but was only living with her. She followed him about, and to protect her he said she was his wife. I shall do all in my power to help him." BRIEF BITS OF NEWS. Civil Service Commissioners Cooley and Green have decided to ask General John C. Black, recently nominated a member of the commission, to succeed John P. Proctor, deceased, to become chairman of the commission. Herr Zietsch, editor of a Socialist paper at Charlottenberg, has been sentenced to three months' imprisonment for insulting Emperor William by saying his only function of state was to receive $10,000 for each time he signed a law. Governor L. F. C. Garvin of Rhode Island was inaugurated Wednesday for his second term. In his inaugural address he urged an appropriation for the suitable representation of Rhode Island at the Louisiana purchase exposition. John Schilling, Jr., a well-known business man, has opened a roller skating rink at the Armory, the largest hall in Hiawatha, Kan.

SCARED BY A METEORITE. Oregon Sheep Herders Narrowly Escape Being Hit by Ball of Fire. FOSSIL, ORE—(Special.) White hot from its passage through space a meteorite swept over the heads of two men on the range fifteen miles south of Fossil in Wheeler county and struck the ground a short distance away, sizzling on the frozen ground. The men were given a bad scare and flattened themselves on the ground with involuntary unanimity. Robert Wilson of this place was on an inspection trip to his sheep range on the John Fox homestead on Muleshoe mountain. He was talking with his herder, Oscar Fritz, when the aerolist burst suddenly from the darkness and passing close to them with a sharp, sizzling sound, struck the earth with a marked thud about 400 yards away. Keeping their eye on the star, which struck down the hill from where they were standing, the men ran to the spot, of which they never lost sight, as the fallen body glowed like a red hot fire. They found it to be a flat, irregular mass, with an average size of about eighteen inches across the top, but too hot to be handled that evening, so they left it untouched until the next morning, when they dug it up, and Mr. Wilson brought it home with him to Fossil, where it may seen by the curious at the drug store. It is a small aerolite, weighing twenty-three pounds, of a porous nature like pumice stone but much heavier for its size and darker, being nearly coal black. The ground being frozen hard and the aerolite thin and flat, it sank into the ground but a few inches and was easily extracted. A TERRITORY OFFICIAL FOUND. A United States Commissioner, Recently Missing, WIU. Be Investigated A United States Commissioner, Recently Missing, Will Be Investigated. MUSKOGEE, I. T.—(Special.) Mr. Trotter, United States commissioner of the Wagoner district, who has been missing three weeks has returned here and conferred with Judge Raymond, to whom he owes his appointment. What the result will be has not been announced, but Judge Raymond has indicated that Trotter will hold his office only long enough to straighten up his accounts and make a report for the last quarter. Mr. Trotter has given no explanation for his absence other than that he was financially embarrassed and that he had been in various places trying to get relief. When asked by Judge Raymond about money that is due the government Trotter said that he had the money on deposit in banks outside the territory. When asked why it was out of the territory he stated that he was afraid that his creditors would attach it. Judge Raymond has ordered Mr. Trotter to Wagoner to prepare a statement of the business of the office for the last three months and to attend to matters now pending on the docket. At the Orpheum. Lillian Burkhart, the lady dainty of the vaudeville stage, will be seen at the Orpheum the week of Jan. 10, in a little comedy of sentiment and slang, "A Strenuous Daisy." The daisy of a western girl, pretty, lovable and good bit exceedingly breezy and well versed in slang. She marries an eastern boy who is just out of college and his parents proceed to make things uncomfortable for both. She tries to win them and succeeds. There is more than comedy in the playette and it affords Miss Burkhart a chance for serious work. John W. World and Mindkinson will appear in a sketch which was written especially for them. Mr. World is a character comedian and Miss Kingston is well known as a comic opera star. Irene Franklin is a charming little woman who sings well and is able to tell a story in a dashing manner. Stuart Barnes will be remembered for his clever songs and parodies. He, too, is a story teller. Few monologues can offer as good a talk as he and he will prove one of the hits of the bill. The Rozizos are two Kansas City boys who are famed throughout the vaudeville world. They are daring acrobats and their comedy is really funny. Their reputation is international. Marsh and Sartella will be seen in an amusing comedietta called "Si's Courtship." The Raschetta brothers are sensational gymnasts. They have a novel act and feats that are daring in the extreme. The Kindodrome will offer some interesting moving pictures. A Chicago Woman a Suicide ATTLEBORO, MASS.—(Special.)

The stage and ostrum, recognizing catarrh as their greatest enemy, are especially enthusiastic in their praise and testimony. Any man who wishes perfect health must be entirely free from catarrh. Catarrh is well nigh universal; almost omnipresent. Peruna is the only absolute safeguard mown. A cold is the beginning of catarrh. To prevent colds, to cure colds, is to cheat catarrh out of its victims. Peruna not only cures catarrh, but prevents it.

I have not had occasion to use it for other ailments. Yours truly, W. M. Lord. It will be noticed that the Governor says he has not had occasion to use Peruna for other ailments. The reason for this is, most other ailments begin with a cold. Using Peruna to promptly cure colds, he protects his family against other ailments. This is exactly what every other in the United States should do. Keep Peruna in the house.
