THE WICHITA SEARCHLIGHT TENTH YEAR. Judge Cotteral's Decision Does Not Discourage Them.—Declared That the Jim Crow Law Can Be Applied Only When Tickets Are Purchased to Points Within the State. Guthrie, Okla., March 27.—It is claimed by some of the colored people here that while they did not gain a victory in the injunction case in the federal court announced in Judge Cotteral's decision sent out from Oklahoma City yesterday, yet they gained a partial victory. The part of the decision relied on is this: "On the remaining ground that the legislation is an interference with interstate commerce the selling is that in the light of the constructions placed in other states on similar statutes to the effect that hey apply only o interstate passengers, and considering the decisions of the supreme court of the United States sustaining such statute so interpreted, the legislative act of this state is construed to be a regulation of domestic commerce alone and consequently not an invasion of the plenary power of the federal government to regulate a commerce under the commerce clause of the federal constitution. Louisville Ry. Co. vs. Mississippi. 133 U. S., 587; C. & O. Ry Co. vs. Kentucky. 179 U. S., 389." It is claimed from this that the Oklahoma law can apply only when the transportation is from one point to another within the state. If that view of Oklahoma buying a ticket to any point outside the state would not be governed by the provisions of the Jim Crow law, and the same as to a colored man outside of the state buying a ticket to some point inside this state. It is reported here that when the colored lawyer came here from Washington to argue this case of the colored people in the federal court and be returned to Washington, he demanded a ticket and sleeping car berth of the agent at Oklahoma City and refused to go into a Jim Crow car. The agent at first refused to sell him such a ticket, and asked the Santa Fe attorney at Guthrie for instructions. The attorney told him that if the colored man demanded the sleeping car ticket and tendered the money, to let him have it. The colored attorney then rode through Oklahoma with the white people in a Pullman car. NEGRO CITIZENS TO HELP. It is gratifying to observe an earlest movement among the reputable Negroes of Kansas City for the suppression of crime among members of their own race. Whatever influences are exerted toward the stamping out of the alarming number of criminals in this city will meet with the encouragement of every good citizen, black and white. That the Negroes can do much to deter the bad element of their own race is obvious, and no argument other than the recent police records is necessary to prove that the newly-organized Good Citizens' League has a great work to perform. The members of the league are only doing their duty to themselves, as well as to the community at large, when they face the situation squarely and honestly. The Negro criminal as a distinctive form of danger has never been so hold and so brutal in this city as today. Of course, considerable good may be accomplished by loking after wayward boys and girls of the Negro race, but a more urgent need just at this time is for the Negroes to look after the adult criminals who are committing almost nightly crimes, and hand them over to justice. Negroes often have or can get information as to the identity and whereabouts of evildoers of their own race which the police are unable to obtain elsewhere. In supplying this information promptly by the Good Citizens' League may prove itself to be all that its name signifies.—K. C. Journal. What is true of the egroes of Kansas City, Mo., is true of the Negro everywhere. No one is more willing, anxious and ready to rid all communities of the "bad Negro" than is the Negro himself. If the white man will show the same anxiety to rid all communities of the "bad white man" we will have a paradise on earth. NEW DOCTORS NOW LOCATED. Doctors G. G. Brown and A. K.

Frank Wilson with them last Friday evening. It was his annual visit and the Temple turned out in great style and were much benefitted by the lecture from the fact that he dwelled upon the ancient history of the organization of which but few of us knew anything about, if anything at all, and for that reason it was very instructive as well as historical. The Chief Grand Mentor was well pleased with the rapid progress of the Temple, financially as well as in membership, and on being informed of the motto "Onward and Upward." He with us is willing to predict that the Temple will make a better showing this year than ever before. The meeting was largely attended and much interest was shown on behalf of the Temples. After the Temple meeting the Sir Knights and Daughters gave an informal reception to the Chief Grand Mentor and the Chief Grand Preceptress, Dr. Emma Galnes of Topeka, who paid her annual visit to the Daughters of the Tabernacle this week also. The affair was very elaborate one, being well attended by the Sir Knights and Daughters. Since our last communication to the press we have added 7 new names to our roll of members and expect to add 10 more at the next meeting, which shows that the motto chosen for this year's work is the right one in the right place and with such wholesome instructions as those from the Chief Grand Mentor. We intend to ever go "Onward and Upward" and with every Temple's assistance in the jurisdiction, we can forever keep this as the best secret organization in the world as it has always been. We wish to thank the Temple and Tabernacle of Atchlson for their cordial invitation to the Grand Session in their city and wish to warn them and their friends that we are intending to bring home the prizes for all contesting drills. With these few words of encouragement, we bid you God's speed. Correspondent Sec, Washington Temple o. 25. KANSAS CHURCHES. Kansas has 108,000 members worshiping in 900 churches, worth $3,000,-000. And yet, one evening last week, says a religious editor, we met again V. J. Lane of Kansas City, Kan., who when he came to Kansas, found not even one church building. A BIG BARGAIN.—A good Economy steel range, in good condition at a bargain for someone. Inquire WICHITA, KANSAS, SATURDAY, MARCH 28, 1908. VALUE OF KANSAS PROPERTY. State Tax Commission Says Amount Will Be $2,000,000,000. Topeka, (Special)—S. C. Crummer, a member of the state tax commissoin, upon returning to Topeka from visiting different counties and cities in the state in connection with the work of his office, stated that he expected the amount of assessable property for all purposes over the whole state to aggregate $2,000,000,000 this year. The new law compels a total valuation. Last year the total returns amounted to $436,000,000. A big increase is being shown in the returns of the railroads now reported. For years the valuation placed upon railroads in Kansas has been running from $60,000,000 to $80,000,000. This year it is expected to approach $400,000,000. The Kansas City Southern reported $2,000,000 this year, as against $500,000 last year; the Missouri, Kansas & Texas, $8,500,000 this year, as against $3,500,000 last year.

And His Lawyers Now Sue for Amount of Policy. St. Louis.—Attorneys representing Public Administrator Troll, have instituted suit in the circuit court against the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company for $388 insurance on the life of John King, a Negro, who was hanged for murder. It is alleged the corporation refuses to pay the policy on the grounds that the amount is not collectable where persons meet death for violation of the law. King was executed June 27, 1907. NEGRO IS A SLAVE AT 99. Faithful Colored Man Refuses to Accept Proffered Freedom. Moscow, Tex., March 22.—Ninety-nine years a slave! That is the record of "Old Duck" Holcombe, a typical Negro, who, when offered freedom by the emancipation proclamation in 1862, refused to leave the family to which he then belonged. From the day of his birth to the present hour, with the exception of about two years, he has never swerved in his fidelity and he declares he will die in their service. "Old Duck" is now living here with Mrs. H. J. Holcombe, whose grandfather, Andrew Walker, originally owned him. He was born in Marshall county, Ala., near the present town of Guntersville, then an Indian village. "Duck's" one period of "freedom" was when, at the age of 15, he ran away, intending to invoke the aid of the Cherokee Indians in hiding him. Instead, he ran into a camp of Creeks, with whom the Cherokees were at war, and remained in captivity for two years. When he was freed through a government treaty with the Creeks he took an oath to live and die with the Walker family. KANSAS LEADS IN WHEAT. Union Pacific Issues Statements of Trans-Missouri Farm Products. Omaha, March 23.—The statistical bureau of the United Pacific passenger department has issued a statement compiled from government reports, showing the value of farm products in seventeen states west of the Mississippi in 1907 to have been $1,091,000,000. Corn leads with nearly $500,000,000. Winter wheat is next, $200,000,000. Domestic hay was valued at only $2,000,000 less. Rye, oats, barley and potatoes follow in order. The report indicates an increase of 15 per cent in value of crops over the previous year, and this increase is credited to irrigation. Nearly 85,000,000 acres were under cultivation and the average value of crops per acre is given at $12.86. Iowa ranks first in corn, oats and potatoes; Kansas first in wheat and Nebraska first in rye. The report also shows an increase in live stock of 250 per cent since 1870. The Invisible Choir By BROUGHTON BRANDENBURG TAKING PHOTOGRAPHS OF SKY (Copyright.) She was waiting for me when I got down to the office that morning, I remember it was a Monday late in May, and my stenographer had not arrived. In her place beside the door I did not see her immediately, and only her trembling efforts to rise attracted my attention. A whiter or more ghostly effect than that of her snowy hair, palid face and deep-sunk eyes all in relief from a severe black dress, it would be difficult to imagine, and I confess that I started the merest trifle as she came forward out of the shadowy anteroom corner, her thin hands extended toward me. "I hope this is Mr. Lawrence Rand?" she said, in a low, eager voice. "No, madam, in these are Mr. Rand's offices, and I am Mr. Duncan, one of his partners." "I am Mrs. Dwight Stokes Coleman, and it is concerning a most important and peculiar matter, which has to do with my husband, Dr. Coleman, the pastor of the Fifth Avenue Disciples church, that I have come to see Mr. Rand. I must have help at once or I shall go mad myself. My family physician, Dr. Bowles, in Seventy-second street, came to us at our request yesterday afternoon and recommended me to Mr. Rand. He says that it is a matter outside the bounds of any profession except Mr. Rand's, which seems to be the rendering commonplace of things apparently most extraordinary." "Perhaps if you state the case I may be able to assist you, and I can at least restate it to Mr. Rand on his return from Boston to-morrow." "He will not be here till to-morrow?" The note of disappointment in her voice was so intense that I was touched, for the tears were constantly welling to her eyes, and she could scarcely steady her voice as she went on to relate her trouble. Relieved of her indirection of statement and put in the proper proportion, her story was as follows: A most mysterious circumstance was weighing so heavily on her husband's mind that she feared he was about to lose his reason, if it was not already impaired. He had obtained a metropolitan parish only that year, was overcoming some bitter opposition among his church members, and was completing the last volume of an important historical work. Altogether, he was at the critical point of his career, and, with two sons and two daughters not yet out of college. On Sunday, the 14th of April, a few minutes after he had begun his morning sermon, he heard distinctly a choir singing an anthem. He thought it a trifle unusual, there being no church in the neighborhood from which the music could come with such clearness. The music was very good, and, after the service, he mentioned it to the organist, who sat in the organ loft immediately behind the pipit. The organist was certain that he had heard no music, saying there had not been a sound to interrupt the sermon. As a matter of curiosity, the organist and Dr. Coleman together laughingly questioned the members of the choir. All were positive that they had heard no singing. A horrible fear struck a chill to the old clergyman's heart. Was his mind giving way? Were the anthem and the unseen choir the first hallucination, the harbinger of coming mental confusion, and the first sign of the horrible night of the mind? On several succeeding Sundays the same mysterious music was heard by the doctor, but by no one else, and he was now on the verge of nervous prostration. Star gazing is a trifle in modern astronomers' tasks. Their real job is to fix the exact positions of the heavenly bodies. The object glasses of transit telescopes are crossed by fine lines made from the spider's web. Every time the star under observation crosses one of the lines the astronomer touches a button, which causes the time to be recorded by a chronograph. Nearly all observers press the I assured Mrs. Coleman we would take up the matter immediately, wired Rand to insure his return, and gave him a detailed account of the whole affair, when he came in Tuesday night. Bright and early on Wednesday morning we were at Dr. Coleman's house. In going over the case again, however, we found nothing to be in any way different from the facts already in hand, except that although the voices were always the same, the music was different each time. With a note from the pastor to the sexton, we went to the church at 11 o'clock, and, posing as an interior decorator's estimate clerks, we slowly inspected every inch of the interior. It was four o'clock in the afternoon when we left, and all that we had found can be told in a few words. The church, more than 30 years old, was deadly commonplace in its details. It had plain old pews, wide and heavy, an old-fashioned organ and loft, in front of which extended a semicircular rostrum with steps at the right side, a reading desk at the front edge of the rostrum, and, behind it, the usual shell-shaped sounding-board. The fittings around the pulpit were all very plain and simple, although rich in their massiveness. The only really new things were these: the furnace heating appliances had been changed to steam heat, and the gas fixtures to electric wiring and lights. I was tired, disgusted, and quite ready to believe the old clergyman mentally unbalanced. Rand was bitterly determined to go on. Said he: "Duncan, I am going to fly in the face of facts in this matter. I purpose to hunt for the impossible. Kindly arrange to have the Callahan agency send me 50 men at the studio toorrow morning to gather data on all the other churches." I did not see Rand that evening. It fact, I did not catch a glimpse of him till Saturday evening. Then he was white, worn, tired, and plainly unsuccessful as he came into the club dining-room, where I was awaiting him, and sat down opposite me with a faint, brief smile. Rand toyed with the table silver a moment before he spoke, then he said, curtly: "Will you go with me to the Disciples church to-morrow morning? I ask this because I have written Dr. Coleman a note saying that it will be necessary for me to go into the pulpit with him, and I want you to sit in the first row." I burst into a hearty laugh at the idea of Rand's posing as a clergyman, but neither the ethical nor humorous phases of the situation seemed to strike him. The next morning Rand appeared in church in clerical garb. The stricken clergyman, his white head bowed on his hand as he leaned on the arm of his chair, never looked up, after presenting Rand as Rev. Dr. Carleton Smith of Chicago, "who would read the morning lesson." From my seat in the first pew, perhaps 20 feet from the exact spot where the speaker was standing. I could observe every movement that both he and Rand might make. It was fully 15 minutes before anything unusual occurred. Suddenly the old clergyman's voice took on a momentarily rasping note—an inarticulate cry of agony and desperation! He went on speaking mechanically, with his eyes closed. Rand sat motionless, but with the manner of a tiger about to spring. He was lis- key earlier for bright stars than for faint stars, so the work is now done automatically. Besides the transit telescopes across whose field of vision the stars move in procession, there are equatorial telescopes for taking photographs of the heavens. Moved by clock work, an instrument of this kind turns exactly round the circle in 24 hours, so if directed toward a particular star it follows it from rise to set tening, and I could tell from his face that he also was hearing what was beating in Dr. Coleman's ears—the rolling anthem of the unseen singers. As for me, I could not catch the faintest sound beyond a low, confused murmur. Rand removed the microphone, which he always carried for magnifying sounds, once or twice after a few seconds, then quietly drew some sheets, apparently a small set of notes, from his pocket, found something, folded the pages, and instantly was lost in the most profound thought. Dr. Coleman was staggering, struggling through his address. I stood ready to rush to catch him should he reel and fall forward from the pulpit. There were evident signs of deep concern for him in the congregation. Perhaps it was only two minutes, but it seemed an hour that this situation held. Then Rand, rising unobtrusively, reached forward and turned off the desk light. A moment later a look of relief came over the old clergyman's face. He opened his eyes, paused a moment, as if to steady himself, then went on again, and waited perhaps 60 seconds. I knew from the hand to his ear that he was still listening. Then he turned on the light once more and again listened. He next said something in a low voice to Dr. Coleman, and settling back comfortably, folded his arms and listened to the sermon at his ease. He had solved the mystery. How I endured the half-hour till Rand and I were walking down the avenue, arm in arm, with the happy old clergyman, I do not know. Dr. Coleman and he had already had some explanatory words together, for the first thing I heard was: But, my dear Mr. Rand, how did you make so wonderful a discovery? "It was really very simple, after all, Dr. Coleman," replied Rand. "Through the Callahan men I collected in advance, among other things, the musical programs from every church on Manhattan island. By my microphone I discerned that it was Pfeister's 'Ave Maria' that was being sung somewhere this morning, its echoes apparently audible to your ears alone. From my indexed notes I found that the only church where this number was being sung was the Church of the Revelation, on the West side, a mile away, a distance far too great, of course, for the natural conveyance of sound. Instantly, however, it flashed over me that this was one of the old churches in which I had learned the old sounding-boards of the Teleautic Company been placed. Here were the same music and the same sounding-boards—but no wring had been put in. I looked at the base of the sounding-board beside me. No wring was there now! Yet there must be a connection. There must be wires—wireless reproduction being eminently absurd. As I sat absorbed in I raised my eyes and chanced to see that the electric wires to the desk light ran over the top of the sounding-board. One chance in a million of a chance connection by the electric lighting company! Rising, I turned off the light, as you may remember, and the music ceased to be audible. I turned the light on, and the 'Ave Maria' could be heard to a close. You were alone in hearing the faint sound-waves so clearly, because your ears were in the exact focus of the radii of the sounding-board. I noticed yesterday that the other church services began at 11:15, and I will guarantee, without visiting the auditorium of the Church of the Revelation, that the other board is so placed that the choir sings directly into it. If you were in the habit of keeping your desk light burning all through the service, and if you stood just where you preach, you would hear the other sermon and all the rest of the music." We visited the other church after lunch and found all the details fitted Rand's theory to a nicety. The moving of a plug in the Edison district plant one-thirty-second of an inch forever hushed the voices of the unseen singers. ting, and a photographic plate fixed in the telescope would take a picture of a particular part of the sky. By this means a great international work is being done. Sixteen observatories in different parts of the world have divided among themselves the labor of photographing the whole sky in both the northern and southern hemispheres and afterwards cataloguing the stars. When the work is complete it will show the positions and magnitudes of at least five or six millions of stars. SEARCHLIGHT SEARCHLIGHT WICHITA, : : : : KANS. Strive to Be Cheerful. Most persons are of the opinion that if a man is not favored by nature with a cheerful spirit, he cannot pretend to be cheerful. Yet this is not really the case, and there is many a man who is at present a weary burden to his relatives, miserable through the carking care of some bodily ailment, perhaps, or some worldly misfortune, who, if he had grown up into the idea that to be cheerful under all circumstances was one of the first duties of life, might still see a pleasant enough world around him. The discontented worries of a morose and grumbling person may very likely shorten his days and the general justice of nature's arrangement provides that his early departure should entail no long regrets, says New York Weekly. On the other hand, the man who can laugh keeps his health, and his friends are glad to keep him. To a person perfectly healthy laugh comes often. Too commonly, though, as childhood is left behind, the habit falls, and a half-smile is the best that visits the thoughtful mouth of a modern man or woman. People become more and more burdened with the accumulations of knowledge and with the weighing responsibilities of life, but they should still spare time to laugh. When One Spends Money. One would think that money would be saved in prosperous times when there is plenty of it about. But no, that is not the time when it is saved. It is then that it is spent, says Appleton's. Everybody spends it—governments, railroads, corporations, capitalists, housekeepers, house builders, collectors. People expand their wants in such times, and satisfy some of them, and then is when it is most of all impossible to live on anything a year. But after all the money has been spent a few times over and has begun to be secrecy and borrowing has come to be a serious matter, and folks have much less to spend and no expectations; then everybody groans and begins to save, not only trying desperately to squeeze back inside of the bounds of income, but to pay back what was spent in expectation of a time when saving would have become convenient. To most of us that time never comes. And yet there are things for which we spend more than we can afford, that really do justify our expenditures, so that after the money has been spent and we are pinched for the lack of it, we would still rather have what it bought than have the money back. A Tennessee negro editor professes to have discovered that his race antedates the whites. Adam's first wife, he says, was a dark-skinned woman named Dellinnah, and from this union the negroes descended. Where he gets this interesting information, remarks the Indianapolis Star, is not stated. It differs from the ordinary traditions as to Adam's matrimonial career. According to the Talmud Lilith, a biolady of very bad disposition, was the first wife. At least she came on the scene before Eve arrived. She was the original woman's rights woman, for she refused to submit to her husband's authority and left Paradise for an uncharted region of the air, which she is still supposed to haunt. Her children were demons. Of course, it is possible that Eve was number three, or even four, but this thought verges so closely on a reflection upon Adam's moral character that it is perhaps not wise to pursue it. If the negroes can "read their title clear" back to Adam they they have certainly a "first family" record that will make a large and flourishing genealogical tree Zurich is struggling with the church bell problem. During the last decade a number of new Catholic churches have been built, and every morning at 4, 4:30, 5:30, 6 and 7 unbelievers as well as believers are aroused from their slumbers by the dln from no fewer than 17 belfries, scattered so that no part of the city remains quiet. In response to appeals from hospitals and from many persons who are obliged to work at night, and sleep—of they cea—in the morning, the Stadtrat has proposed an ordinance forbidding any sort of bell ringing between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m., and forbidding it also in the daytime as an accompaniment to weddings and funerals, in the old village style. Against this proposed reform the clerical organs have protested violently, and a regular Kulturkampf is threatened. A policeman stood guard while a New York man, who dreaded a discarded sweetheart, was married. The wife had better make some permanent arrangement to keep a watch on the man if he has that sort of a conscience. Seventeenth New York women launched in a Turkish bath establishment clad only in sheets, so as to appear in their real figures. The results, however, are among the things which statistics cannot prove. LITTLE VISITS WITH "UNCLE BY" The Dearest Lips.

Ah, mother lips I knew of vore, Oh, lips so soft and clinging sweet, I give to thee the truest love, To thee the homage most complete! When all the world was dark and cold, When all the sun was chilled by tears, Thy lips, O mother, gone for aye, Were lips that kissed away my fears, They came with comfort swift and sure And when upon my eyes they lay, With love and feeling all divine, They kissed my falling tears away! No more when worldly wounds are sore She comes to kiss my weeping eyes; No more she scourges pain and fear— She sleeps, at rest in Paradise. Ah, rosy lips of blushing maid. Ah, stoien lips, the lips of troth, The lips whose petals blint of musk, Thy glories shimmer on and out, Thy kisses fade to ether gray.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT WHITE LEAD 181 Its Chief Use and a Method of Deterning Good from Bad Explained. White Lead is the standard paint material all over the world. It is made by corroding metallic lead into a white powder, through exposing it to the fumes of weak acetic acid and carbonic acid gas; this powder is then ground and mixed with linseed oil, making a thick paste, in which form it is packed and sold for painting purposes. The painter thins it down to the proper consistency for application by the addition of more linseed oil. The above refers, of course, to pure, genuine White Lead only. Adulterated and fake "White Lead," of which there are many brands on the market, is generally some sort of composition containing only a percentage of white lead; sometimes no White Lead at all; in such stuff, barytes or ground rock, chalk, and similar cheap substances are used to make bulk and imitate the appearance of pure White Lead. There is, however, a positive test by which the purity or impurity of White Lead may be proved or exposed, before painting with it. The blow-pipe flame will reduce pure white lead to metallic lead. If a supposed white lead be thus tested and it only partially reduces to lead, leaving a residue, it is proof that something else was there besides white lead. The National Lead Company guarantee all White Lead sold in packages bearing its "Dutch Boy Painter" trademark to prove absolutely pure under this blow-pipe test, and that you may make the test yourself in your own home, they will send free upon request a blow-pipe and everything else necessary to make the test, together with a valuable booklet on paint.

This is not the only age in which motor cars have created excitement and disturbance. In 1802 such apparitions were few and far between; at present they are too frequent to attract attention. Mr. Joseph Hatton, in "Old Lamps and New," tells of the fright caused by one of Trevithick's steam locomotives, made to run on unrailed roads in the early part of the last century. Now and then one of these extraordinary vehicles would be encountered, snorting and puffing on the highway. The countrymen regarded them as the evil one in disguise. One of the cars, coming to a tollgate, stopped for the gate to be opened. The toll-man came hurrying out. He flung the gate open with trembling hands, and teeth which chattered audibly. The driver asked him how much toll there was to pay. "O, nothing, dear Mr. Satan, nothing!" hastily assured the man. "Go on as fast as you like; there's nothing to pay."-Youth's Companion.

HAPPY OLD AGE Most Likely to Follow Proper Eating. As old age advances, we require less food to replace waste, and food that will not overtax the digestive organs, while supplying true nourishment. Such an ideal food is found in Grape-Nuts, made of whole wheat and barley by long baking and action of diastase in the barley which changes the starch into sugar. The phosphates also, placed up under the bran-coat of the wheat, are included in Grape-Nuts, but left out of white flour. They are necessary to the building of brain and nerve cells. "I have used Grape-Nuts," writes an Iowa man, "for 8 years and feel as good and am stronger than I was ten years ago. I am over 74 years old, and attend to my business every day. "Among my customers I meet a man every day who is 92 years old and attributes his good health to the use of Grape-Nuts and Postum which he has used for the last 5 years. He mixes Grape-Nuts with Postum and says they go fine together. "For many years before I began to eat Grape-Nuts, I could not say that I enjoyed life or knew what it was to be able to say 'I am well.' I suffered greatly with constipation, now my habits are as regular as ever in my life. "Whenever I make extra effort I depend on Grape-Nuts food and it just fills the bill. I can think and write a great deal easier." "There's a Reason." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read "The Road to Welleville" in akg. Musings of the Metropolis Gotham Getting the Free Lunch Habit Latest Romance of W. Gould Brokaw Latest Romance of W. Gould Brokaw Well Groomed Sports Wearing Vertical Well Groomed Sports Wearing Vertical Women Adopt Waltz to Improve Figures FREE LUNCH NEW YORK.—The free lunch habit is breaking into New York society, according to proprietors of well-known hotels, and as a result men worth millions, who, five years ago, would have hesitated to be seen taking a bite at the lunch counter in the cafe, now think nothing of getting their midday luncheon at these "priceless" restaurants. The panic has nothing whatever to do with this practice, nor is it a plan to save money. The hotel people regard it as another development in the split second method of American business—another chance which the financier is seizing to save a minute or two for stocks or deals in the middle of the day. Frequently the tips given by these men to the waiters in the free lunch department would serve, with the additional sum spent for beverages, to purchase a very good lunch-room in a near-by dining-room. There is another factor, however, the hotel men believe. This is the fact that the meats and other dishes served at these counters are commonly cooked in plain American fashion, and many men whose palates are wearied by the foreign dishes served to them by the hotel chefs or by SOCIETY is eagerly discussing reports that the honeymoon of Mr. and Mrs. W. Gould Brokaw has gone into eclipse. Brokaw, who was divorced from his first wife, Corallie Edmunds Coudert, in 1898, was sued five years ago for $250,000 for breach of promise by Katherine Poillon, and was mentioned by George Lederer, now of Chicago, in his divorce suit, denies that there is a separation. Mrs. Brokaw was Mary Morris Blair, a daughter of Joseph A. Blair, a broker of this city. She was married to Mr. Brokaw September 17 last at the Blair country home in Chittenango, N. Y. The couple parted a few days ago at Mr. Brokaw's country estate, Fairview, Highpoint, N. C. They came north separately. Mr. Brokaw is supposed to be in this city and his wife ```markdown ``` IT is said by some leading tailors that striped suitings for men will prevail this spring and summer, as they are now all the rage in Paris and London, and New York is not much behind those capitals in styles. There is a class of wellgroomed men who have in most seasons affected perpendicular stripes; I mean the gamblers. Tom Gould, of all divekeepers the most dangerous, was a Beau Brummell in attire. "Hungry Joe" was as natty as a fairy princeling. There is not a banker or broker in New York who understands the art of dressing as well as some of the racetrack touts. These fellows wear $4 cavatrs and have a knack of adjusting them that bewilders the gentleman of refinement. Who sets the fashions in New York to-day for the young swells? There is no king of the dudes. Evander Berry Wall is in total eclipse and Freddie Gebhard is altogether de trop. BECAUSE it is reputed to be the greatest discovery of twentieth century days for the development of the human figure, New York's "400" have espoused the "Merry Widow" waltz. Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt, Jr., and Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney are most enthusiastic exponents of the waltz. It has become the "rage" among other society people and is the latest drawing-room amusement. Young Donald Brian, who takes the part of a prince in the opera, was invited to the Vanderbilt home to tea recently. After the tea the society leaders present tried the famous waltz. their own cordon bleu at home are glad to get ham American style without champagne sauce or roast beef without mushroom fixings or rich gravies. The evolution of the free lunch, which it is figured, now costs cafe proprietors over $1,500,000 a year in New York city alone, has brought about a reversal in caste for all free lunchers. Not many years ago the free lunch was to be found only in little drinking places, where beef stew or potato salad, served in huge platters, was eaten with a commercial fork taken from a glass of water. And the man who patronized it was looked upon as "broke," and a sort of grafter. To-day the free lunch is a regular institution in many of the leading hotels. Its menu is prepared by the head chef and its dishes are as daintily prepared and served as is militady the luncheon in the palm room. Frequently the lunch is presided over by an assistant chef and has its own corps of waiters, just as attentive as those who serve turtle and canvas-back. The free lunch also has progressed in the smaller places, and probably three-quarters of the 7,000 cafes in New York now serve fairly elaborate lunches, consisting of soup or meat and a variety of relishes. The free lunch is an American institution. Beyond the confines of the United States you will look for it in vain. It is a development of conditions which exist nowhere else in the whole world. Is said to be at the home of her father in Chittenango. It is announced in Highpoint that Mr. Brokaw has sold his mountain preserve to his uncle, William Gould, of New York, for $250,000. He told persons to whom he talked before leaving Highpoint that he would never return to that part of the country. Following the departure of Mr. and Mrs. Brokaw most of the servants at Fairview started for New York. From their gossip it was gathered that the honeymoon of the millionaire and his wife was a stormy period. During the Christmas holidays Mr. Brokaw gave a house party to a crowd from New York. The servants told of a scene one night at dinner, before the guests, between Mr. Brokaw and his wife, because Mr. Brokaw insisted that she should drink ginger ale instead of champagne. After every one in the house bad retired, the servants said, Mrs. Brokaw got up, dressed, and made her way to Highpoint, where she engaged accommodations at a little hotel. The next day guests at Fairview persuaded her to return to her husband's house. Louis Onatativa never amounted to much. Lee Tailer might have walked in Wall's shoes, but he wears a No. 6 hat. Al Claggett's stomach killed his chances. It is evident that there is an effort among the gay young blades just now to find a leader. Young Fish, who was killed in Cuba, was the very youth for the kingship—a youngster of fine breeding, fine tastes, fine features, fine front, fine devilry, fine courage, fine stature and fine indifference. There was not his like in all Manhattan. Several of his admirers met in solemn confab in a chaphouse near Forty-second street and Broadway the other night and discussed the spring fshions. Some wagers were made on stripes. These glided youth determined to make a test of courage. Anybody could wear the horizontal stripes in jail; and all could wear the vertical out of jail; but was any one brave enough to wear the horizontal out of jail? One in the party bet $500 against $1,000 that he would within two months appear in Broadway in a suit of horizontal stripes, strolling from Forty-seventh street down to Fourteenth on the east side of the thoroughfare and back again to Forty-seventh on the west side. Brian complimented them, and showed them some of the intricacies of the dance which they had not acquired. There was another tea a few days after, at Mrs. Whitney's, and another waltz rehearsal. Brian has had so many requests from people who wish to be taught the dance that he is half inclined to consider leaving the stage and opening a dancing school. It would be a kind of gymnasium, too, because the Merry Widow dance is a strenuous affair. If one is at all in need of figure development he should try the dance. It is more effective than dieting or treatment and much pleasanter. It reduced Brian nine pounds, he says, and keeps him so "fine" that he had to have an attack of the grip some time ago to rest and gain a little weight. Ethel Jackson finds that she doesn't need any massage to improve her figure while she is doing the "Me77 Widow" dances. A LITTLE KNOWLEDGE. Schoolmaster—Do you wish your son to learn the dead languages? Mr. Koffin—Certainly, as I shall require him to assist in my business as an undertaker. Origin of the Elevator. The elevator originated in Central Europe. The earliest mention of the elevator is made in a letter of Napoleon I. addressed to his wife, Archduchess Maria Louise. He writes to her that when in Schoenbrunn, then the summer residence of the Austrian emperor, near Vienna, he used the "chale volante" (flying chair) in that castle which had been constructed for Empress Maria Theresa. It consisted of a small, square room, sumptuously furnished with hangings of red silk and suspended by strong ropes with counter weights, so that it could be pulled up or let down with great ease in a shaft built for the purpose about 1760.

LOUIC HOME, LEAVING ONLY CANARY BIRD. St. Louis.—When Mrs. Jennie Griffis left her home for a shopping tour the other day it was as cosy a nest as any young married woman could desire. There were pictures on the wall, carpets the floor and a canary bird in a cage. When she returned the canary bird was in its cage. That was all. Just as Mrs. Griffis had turned the corner four burglaries, not afraid of work, drove up Cherokee street in a moving van. They were looking for something easy, and the departure of the young matron gave them a clew. No lettering was on the van, but other- A man carrying a wood-burning stove. The Neighbors Admired the Feat, wise it was respectable. The horses were beyond reproach and the one- eyed leader of the gang, the only one who looked suspicious, was kept in side under cover. The van drew up in front of the Griffis house and one of the men lifted the front door mat, where, by good fortune, was the key to the door. "This is certainly velvet," said the one-eyed man, as they proceeded to break up a happy home. Everything not nailed down was lugged out, the piano, the library Morris chair, the sideboard, beds, tables, washstubs, carpets, refrigerator, chiffoniers, nutmeg graters, the ice cream freezer, Mrs. Rorer's cookbook, hair switches, Griff's safety razor, towels, soap, toothbrushes, and, in fact, everything that would appeal to the passing fancy. It was the most thorough house cleaning that the Griffis home had ever received. Even the picture of Uncle Heinrich and of Willie when he was three years old was yanked from the family mantel piece. "Wonder where Griffis is going to move?" asked a neighbor. "Dunno," answered another, "but if I ever move I will get those men. They are not afraid to move fast." Especially did the neighbors admire the feat of carrying out two stoves with fire still in them. Smoke was belching out of the flues, but the brave lads never faltered. As the van disappeared a thin gray spiral of smoke floated back. Mrs. Griffis appeared in time to get a whiff of the smoke. She thought the place was on fire and ran into the house in great alarm. When she found herself in the empty smoke-begrimed rooms she nearly lost her mind. From the garret to the basement there was not one single goods and chattel except the canary bird. Why the thieves overlooked this bird no one knows. Horse Calla for Help Williamsport, Pa.--While he was alone in the woods skidding logs near Rutland, William Avery was thrown by a rolling log, which broke his leg and pinned him fast. After he had lain for hours in the snow and cold he was found by John Benson, who was directed to Avery by the latter's horse, which had started for home. The physician who set Avery's leg found he had contracted pneumonia by his long contact with the snow, and his life is despaired of. Vents Snite from Grave McKeesport, Pa.—Prior to her death, recently, Mrs. Theresa McCloskey quarreled with her daughter, Mrs. Mary Hamilton, over the best method of washing clothes. When the will of Mrs. McCloskey was filed for probate it was found she had left her husband an estate of $11,000 and her daughter a clothes-wringer and a washing machine. Pitchfork Jab Punishment La Crosse, Wis.—August Mundstock, a farmer, accused of punishing his foster son, Arthur, aged 15, by jabbing him with the points of a pitchfork, was tried in the county court.

The disease was so bad on my hands that I could lay a slate-pencil in one of the cracks and a rule placed across the hand would not touch the pencil. I kept using remedy after remedy, and while some gave partial relief, none relieved as much as did the first box of Cuticura Ointment. I made a purchase of Cuticura Soap and Ointment and my hands were perfectly cured after two boxes of Cuticura Ointment and one cake of Cuticura Soap were used. W. H.

It proves the story of the Agents of the Government that on the free homesteads offered by the Government it is possible to become comfortably well off in a few years: Regina, Sask., 23rd Nov., 1907. Commissioner of Immigration. It is with pleasure that I reply to your request. Some years ago I took up a homestead for myself and also one for my son. The half section which we own is situated between Rouleau and Drinkwater, adjoining the Moose Jaw creek, is a low level and heavy land. We put in 70 acres of wheat in stubble, which went 20 bushels to the acre, and 30 acres of summer fall, which went 25 bushels to the acre. All the wheat we harvested this year is No. 1 hard. That means the best wheat that can be raised on the earth. We did not sell any wheat yet as we intend to keep one part for our own seed, and sell the other part to people who want first-class seed, for there is no doubt if you sow good wheat you will harvest good wheat. We also threshed 9,000 bushels of first-class oats out of 160 acres. 80 acres has been fall plowing which yielded 90 bushels per acre, and 80 acres stubble, which went 30 bushels to the acre. These oats are the best kind that can be raised. We have shipped three car loads of them, and got 53 cents per bushel clear. All our grain was cut in the last week of the month of August before any frost could touch it. Notwithstanding the fact that we have had a late spring, and that the weather conditions this year were very adverse and unfavorable, we will make more money out of our crop this year than last. For myself I feel compelled to say that Western Canada crops cannot be checked, even by unusual conditions. I am, dear sir, Yours truly. (Signed) A. Kaltenbrunner. WHY THEY SLEEP IN CHURCH. Hypnotism, Not Drowsiness, Declared to Be the Cause. "Churchgoers don't sleep in church. They undergo an hypnotic trance. The soothing voices and mild music and monotonous recitative of a church service put forth powerful hypnotic influences, and that is why the pews resemble a railroad track in the abundance of their sleepers." The speaker, a hypnotist, banged the table vehemently. "Don't laugh," he said. "It's true. Hypnotism, not drowsiness, is what makes you sleep in church. Through your auditory nerve sound waves are passed to your brain that are as effective as though a professional hypnotist had made them. Sound, you know, is the newest and best hypnotic. "At first, in the church service, the periodicity of the wave alterations is short. There is a little speaking, then more music. And just when you are getting properly lulled the clergyman, in a modulated, agreeable, soothing voice, speaks on and on and on—and you begin to nod. You are, hypnotically speaking, entranced. "The average church service is a scientifically correct hypnotic instrument. No wonder, then, it puts many of us to sleep." On the Judges. A celebrated Scottish lawyer had to address the Caledonian equivalent of our supreme court. His "pleading" occupied an entire day. After seven hours of almost continuous oratory he went home, at supper and was asked to conduct family worship. As he was exhausted his devotions were brief. "I am ashamed of ye," said the old mother. "To think ye could talk for seven hoors up at the court and dismiss your Maker in seven minutes." "Ay, verra true," was the reply, "but ye maun mind that the Lord isna sae dull in the uptak as that judge-bodies." Guess. He—I think that I have the pleasure of the next dance? She—You do.

KANSAS ITEMS SUMMARY OF WEEK'S HAPPENINGS 4 Hoch to Give Lectures. — It is reported that Governor Hoch has contracted with a lyeum bureau to deliver forty-four Chautauqua lectures this summer, beginning in June. Water System at Blind School. — The State Board of Control has let the contract for the construction of a 27,000-gallon tank and 80-foot tower at the school for the blind at Kansas City to the Kaw Boiler Works of Kansas City, Kan. The contract price for the work complete was $2,500. Farmer Fritte a Suicide. — John Fritte, aged 55 years, a farmer living three miles west of Junction City, committed suicide by shooting himself in the head. He was one of the oldest residents of the county. Despondency over financial matters was the cause of his taking his life. His body was found in his barn by his young son. K. U. Professor to Yale.—Prof. W. C. Abbott, head of the department of European history in the University of Kansas, has resigned his position as teacher there to accept a full professorship in history at Yale. He will complete his year's work at Lawrence, severing his connection with K. U. in June preparatory to beginning his new work in September. Sue Parents of Boy.—Peter Glaretta, of Cheney, has filed in the district court at Wichita a petition asking $7,500 damages from F. Pottberge, Lena Semroth and John Semroth, for the death of Marlon Garletta, who it is alleged was killed as the result of the firing of a rifle December 29, 1907, by Fred Pottberge the son of Lena and John Semroth. William Herbet Asks for Parole. — The State penitentiary parole board will hear the application of William Herbert for a parole at its April session. Herbert's parents live in Topeka, but he was sent to the penitentiary from Douglas county to serve 21 years. He was charged with attempted assault. Since he went to the penitentiary a constant fight has been waged for his release. The case was up before Governor Hoch during his first term, but he took no action. Cudahy to Extend Wichita Plant.—E. A. Cudahy, head of the Cudahy Packing company of Omaha while in Wichita recently approved the plans to build a five-story beef killing house to cost $500,000 and to have a normal capacity of 500 cattie a day. The hog killing capacity will also be doubled. It has been unofficially announced that one of the big four packing companies—Morris considered the most likely—will enter the Wichita field. Intervenes in School Land Case. The Supreme Court has granted the State of Kansas on relation of Attorney General Jackson, to intervene in the school land case of J. C. Hopper of Ness county against J. M. Nation. State Auditor. The State school fund commissioners and State Treasurer Tully, custodian of the school fund, have also been granted leave to intervene. It will be made a test case. While the suit is brought in the name of Nation, all of the State officials who had anything to do with the issuance of a patent to Hopper are brought into the case. The State contends that it has been defrauded by illegal homestead entry of Hopper's grantor. Hopper took up and in Ness county running through the middle of a section following a creek. It is all on the two sides of the creek and makes the other two divisions of the section almost worthless for they are fenced off from water. He took it up in twenty divisions and nothing less than forty acres is a legal division. Convicted of Perjury.—Leslie Hoel was found guilty of perjury in the district court at Arkansas City, the jury being out but an hour or two. Leslie and his father, Chamberlain Hoel, were witnesses in the murder trial of Amasa Thomas, who killed Charles McEwen in May, 1906. To Bring Swedes to Kansas. — A Swedish immigration association has been formed near Salina for the purpose of bringing Swedish people there from the East for settlement in Saline, McPherson and Rice counties. It is said that numbers of immigrants will also be brought from Sweden. Each of the counties are now largely settled by Swedish people. Auditor Makes Big Call—The state auditor has called upon the county treasurers of the state for $281,620 62 to pay for the estimated April bills. This represents a pretty good sized slice of the money still due the state from the counties. This money does not actually come into the state treasury but is transferred in the form of credits from the county depository banks to the state depository banks. To Improve State Schools, — The Kansas state agricultural commission has sent a letter to every county superintendent in Kansas asking for suggestions regarding needed reforms in school work. The commission will submit its recommendations to the next regular legislature. The members of the commission are: J. W. Gleed of Topeka; E. T. Fairchild, state superintendent; A. J. Stanley of Lincoln; L. A. Lowther of Emporia; R. F. Knight of Wichita; W. D. Ross of Peabody; W. S. Pate of Crawford 5,000 Unemployed in Kansas. — "The army of the unemployed," according to T. B. Gerow, free employment bureau director, now marshals about 5,000 people in Kansas. Bootlegger Shoots Kiowa Sheriff. While attempting to arrest a man named Clark for bootlegging at Kiowa, Sheriff Bud McCracken of Barber county was shot and died of his wounds. Clark was arrested and taken to Wellington and placed in jail to avoid lynching. Clark has a bad name, having been arrested before, it is said, for bootlegging. On one occasion he attacked an officer with a knife when he thought an attempt was being made to arrest him. Will Sue All Companies. — G. J. Barker of Lawrence, one of the attorneys for L. H. Perkins and the Perkins estate, has stated that suits will be brought against all of the remaining life insurance companies in which policies were carried upon the life of the late L. H. Perkins, that have neither paid the policies nor have already been sued, regardless of the outcome of the action of the Mutual Life of New York, which is now pending upon the poison investigation. Urges Use of Prison Twine.—Gov. Hoch has sent an open letter to all of the newspapers of the state, urging the farmers of Kansas to use the binding twine made at the Kansas state penitentiary. He says that it is as good as any twine in the market, selis for $7\frac{1}{2}$ cents in amounts of 5,000 pounds, and 8 cents in lesser amounts, which makes it the lowest priced twine ever sold in Kansas. He says that if the farmers support the penitentiary plant almost the entire expense of the prison can thus be met. Value of Kansas Property. — S. C. Crummer, a member of the state tax commission, after visiting different counties and cities in the state in connection with the work of his office, stated that he expected the amount of assessable property for all purposes over the whole state to aggregate $2,000,000,000 this year. The new law compels a total valuation. Last year the total returns amounted to $436,000,000. A big increase is being shown in the returns of the railroads now reported. For years the valuation placed upon railroads in Kansas has been running from $60,000,000 to $80,000,000. This year it is expected to approach $400,000,000. The Kansas City Southern reported $2,000,000 this year, as against $500,000 last year; the Missouri, Kansas & Texas $8,500,000 this year, as against $3,500,000 last year. Governor Fixes Arbor Day. — Gov. Hoch has issued a proclamation designating April 10th as Arbor day in this state. Each day for years a day has been set aside for the planting of trees and shrubbery, but the real importance of the law has dwindled since Kansas became well populated and full grown trees sprang into existence. But Gov. Hoch thinks there is still need for a real Arbor day and he has called in Superintendent Fairechild to help carry out his plans. In a few days Mr. Fairchild will issue a program which he will recommend to the state to be carried out on Arbor day. The letter which will go out will contain the president's proclamation, the governor's proclamation and an appropriate program. Twelve thousand copies of this program are being printed at the state printing office and one will be sent to each teacher in the state. Atchison to Have $90,000 School. At a meeting of the Atchison city school board, plans were adopted for the erection of a $0,000 combination high school and grade school building. The building will be fire proof and when completed will be the finest high school building in the state. Leasing of School Lands.—The sale of lease rights on school lands for homestead rights is a common practice in certain counties where the state still has unsold land, according to State Auditor James M. Nation. In speaking of this matter he said: "School lands are leased for not less than three nor more than five years. Lands under cultivation at the time the lease is made can be used for agricultural purposes, but by far the larger per cent of the lands leased are grazing lands. The land is leased under the law for a minimum rental of $25 per year per section. No lands are subject to settlement while under lease, and the purchaser of the lease acquires absolutely no rights in the matter of settlement, as stated, when the lease expires." Increases Almost $1,000,000. — The business of building and loan companies in Kansas increased almost $1,000,000 in 1907 over the previous year according to the report just filed by Bank Commissioner John Q. Royce with Governor Hoch. There are forty-eight local and three general building and loan associations in Kansas, Five new ones entered last year. They have a grand total of 32,110 members and 53,682 shares an increase of 2,910 members and 21,013 shares over 1906. The increase is the resources is $968,424. FOR THE MISTERAGE TITLE DUKE MR. KEYHOLE INSIDE DR. HILL REJECTED GERMANY REFUSES TO RECEIVE MAN APPOINTED TO SUCCEED AMBASSADOR TOWER. EMPEROR'S OBJECTION PUBELY PERSONAL Dr. David Jayne Hill Is at Present American Ambassador at The Hague and Exact Reason He Is Persona Non Grata to the Kaiser Is Unknown. Washington, Mar. 26.—The German government has declined to receive Dr. David Jayne Hill in the capacity of American ambassador to succeed Charlemagne Tower, whose resignation has been accepted to take effect upon the qualification of his successor. Dr. Hill is at present American minister to The Hague and was formerly first assistant secretary of state under the administration of Secretary Hay. The objection to Dr. Hill is one purely personal to Emperor William, who has simply caused it to be made known that the American diplomatist is persona non grata to him. The reason for the emperor's objection is connected with the visit to America several years ago of his brother, Prince Henry, the ranking admiral of the German navy. Dr. Hill at that time, was first assistant secretary of state and necessarily was brought into official contact with the distinguished foreign visitors. Just what he did or did not do to give offense is not known here. A perplexing feature of the case is presented by the fact that last November the German government let it be known that Dr. Hill would be cordially received as American ambassador to Berlin. At that time Ambassador Tower, after the president had sought in vain to dissuade him from such a course, reached the decision that proper consideration for his own private interests and the welfare of his children, whose education he deemed it necessary to perfect in America, obliged him to insist upon the acceptance of his resignation. Dr. Hill was selected to fill this important vacancies for two reasons: portant vacancies for two reasons: First, because of his high rank in the world of literature and diplomacy, and, second, because his promotion would be in execution of Secretary Root's cherished plan for the application of civil service principles in the diplomatic service. For two years preceding Dr. Hill had been an American minister, first accredited to Switzerland and then to The Hague. He was engaged in monumental literary work covering the entire history of the world's diplomacy and these two posts afforded exceptional advantages for the procurement of the great mass of material required for the work. As that task neared completion Dr. Hill found himself willing to abandon the field for the higher diplomatic post of Berlin, and, as already stated, the German foreign office cordially responded to the usual cautious overtures from the state department here as to his availability for appointment as ambassador. So Wednesday's decision of the German emperor has come as a complete surprise to official Washington. It is nevertheless final as far as Dr. Hill is concerned for the etiquette that governs international relations does not permit of any question of the right of a sovereign to interpose an objection to the reception of any official who comes to his post as ambassador. Gov. Guild Holding His Own. Boston, Mar. 26.—After a consultation of physicians, the following bulletin signed by Drs. Winslow, Joslin and Shattuck, was issued from the executive officer at the state house at 9:50 a. m.: "The governor in the past 24 hours has held his own. There is no marked change in his condition." The house committee on public lands has reported favorably on the resolution instructing the attorney general to institute proceedings against the Harriman railroad system to forfeit its charter for disposing of land grants contrary to the provisions laid down by congress. 7114214 75 SYSTEM." DUKE B. REMOLE INSIDE TH2 WILFLEY REPORT. Judge of Chinese Court Severely Censured by Sub-Committee. Washington, Mar. 26.—The subcommittee of the house judiciary committee appointed to investigate charges against Judge L. R. Willey, of the United States court for China at Shanghai, on charges of misconduct in office preferred by a number of American lawyers residing in Shanghai Wednesday submitted its report to the full committee. The report does not recommend impeachment, but severely censures Judge Willey for harshness on the bench and ignorance of the law. The presentation of the report precipitated a warm debate in the full committee, some of the members declaring the opinion that Willey should be impeached. Mr. Clayton of Alabama entered a motion for such impeachment, and served notice that if the committee failed to accept it he would move it on the floor of the house. No action was taken by the Iowa Coal Operators Obdurate. Des Moines, Mar. 26.—Efforts of the miners to prevent a suspension of work at the coal mines of Iowa April 1, presented Tuesday in the form of a resolution to the joint conference of miners and operators, were turned down point blank by the operators. The miners in their resolution signified their willingness to continue work at the mines after April 1, pending negotiations of a wage scale, on condition that the scale and terms finally agreed upon by both parties apply from April 1. The operators emphatically declined the resolution, insisting that a complete shutdown of the mines is necessary during the period of negotiations. Dynamited a Railroad Bridge. Perth Amboy, , N. J., Mar. 26.—An attempt to wreck the new Pennsylvania railroad bridge over the Raritan river between this city and South Amboy was made early Wednesday when a charge of dynamite was exploded at the base of one of the bridge abutments. The structure was damaged to the extent of about $2,000, but the bridge did not fall, although it was left in a condition regarded as unsafe for the passage of trains. The bridge was only recently completed and trains were run across it Tuesday for the first time. Judge Knapp Before House Committee Washington, Mar. 26.-Judge Martin A. Knapp, chairman of the interstate commerce commission, Wednesday by invitation addressed the house committee on interstate and foreign commerce upon the subject of the Maynard bill, which proposes the establishment in interstate commerce of a uniform bill of lading with the object of doing away with the practice of issuing bills before delivery of goods to carriers. A. Night Rider Conviction. Hopkinsville, Ky., Mar. 26.—Dr. Wallis W. Durham, a prominent physician in the northern part of Christian county who had been charged with being a "night rider" surrendered Wednesday to the authorities and was released on a bond of $1,000. Rob Wood, a young planter who was charged with sending night rider letters was found guilty Wednesday and sentenced to three months in prison and to pay a fine of $100. Milwaukee, Mar. 26.—Returns from Tuesday's primary election while not complete show that David S. Rose, Democrat, has been nominated for mayor over William H. Graebner by a plurality of 7,500. Thomas J. Pringle, Republican, leads Louis A. Dahlman and John T. Kelly by a plurality estimated at 1,800. Emil Seidel, social Democrat, was nominated without opposition. More Barns Burned Cincinnati, Mar. 26.—A small band of "night riders" burned two barns in the vicinity of Harrison, Ohio, 25 miles west of Cincinnati, and one in Franklin county, Indiana, Tuesday night. A posse was immediately organized and the country for miles around was scoured in search of the night riders, but no trace of them was found. 333 Official Knights & Knights & Daughters OF TABOR KANSAS—NEBRASKA JURIS KNIGHTS AND DAUGHTERS OF TABOR.
