have kept a bottle in my house and use it
whenever my nerves become unstrunjr, with
always the same good results. My son also
Dr. Miles'
takes it for nervousness
with like never failing
success. I have recom
mended it to many and
it cures them. All who
suffer from nerve
troubles should try it.

Interest. .
Hutchinson, Jan. 7. There is trouble
in the school board.
Some time ago the board adopted the
Kand-McNally geography, for general
use in the schools. Since that time there
have been some discoveries made con
cerning that text book, which have caused
some comment in the board, and a light
has been started which may result in its
being rejected and the contract re
scinded. It is charged that there are really two
editions of the Rand-McNally geog-
- . f , s .1 1 j . a 1
iictjjuy. una its me euiuuu auuuieu uy
the board, and the other is an edition
in which couaiuerauie space is lukcq uu
with pictures of Catholic buildings in
Home, and with a history and statistics
concerning the Catholic religion. This
is what has brought about the "rumpus,"
and the A. P. A. element in the city
will make a "kick" upon retaining the
book, although the edition ordered does
not contain the objectionable features.
There are .several repreentatives of
book companies in the city today who
will offer inducements for the board to
change its miud.
The A. P. A. also object to readers
used in the school because tnere is some
poetry in it by the poet "Pope." The
cry of "No Popery" goes up.
HUTCHINSON' ISA N Sv GOES IX.
Willing; to Take $100,000 In Gold Bonds
if ObtaiiiHblt).
Hutchinson, Jan. 7. The First Na
tional bank of this city is as patriotic as
it is enterprising.
Some time ago the New York World
made a proposition to Cleveland that it
would assume the task of replenishing
the gold reserve in the national treasury,
if the president would issue three per
cent bonds and sell them to American
capitalists.
Following this proposition made by the
World, the First National bauk of this
city this morning received a dispatch
Irora that paper which reads:
"We today ask all national banks
whether, if the president should make a
call to replenish the gold reserve, if they
will consider it a patriotic duty to take
bonds at a three per cent basis. Will you
assist and to what extent?"
To this the bank responded in the fol-
lowing dispatch:
"We will take one hundred thousand
dollars of three per cent bonds. Favor
a popular loan.

PREPARATIONS AT LEAVEN WORTH.
Newspaper Men of Tliat City Arranging to
Entertain the State Editorial Association.
Leavenworth, Jan. 7. A meeting of
the newspaper men of Leavenworth was
held at the Commercial club's rooms on
Delaware street yesterday and discussed
arrangements for taking care of and en
tertaining the Kansas Editorial associa
tion, which will hold its annual meeting
in this city February 17 and 18.
Colonel D. R Anthonv presided, though
there was no formal organization. He
stated the object of the meeting, and in
sisted that the people of Leavenworth
must do the proper thing by the editorial
fraternity.
Col. Anthony had a letter from Mrs.
Emma B. Aldrich, president of the
woman's editorial fraternity of Kansas,
in which she stated she would call a
meeting of the women editors of the
state for Leavenworth at the same time
that the Kansas Editorial association
meets here. Mrs. bara R Lynch of the
Standard is to have charge of the ar
rangements for entertaining the women
editors.
The programme for the meeting of the
editorial assooiation has not been made
out as yet. On the evening of February
17, however, there will be a reception
and a musical and oratorical entertain
ment. The following forenoon will be
devoted to the business of the associa
tion. There will also be excursions to
the Soldiers home and Ft. Leavenworth
where special features will be arranged
for. There will probably be no formal
banquet.
INDIAN FUGITIVES CAPTURED.
Colored Constable Ran Down the K
CHped Red Men.
Leavenworth, Jan. 7. The three
Indian convicts Lewis Bibles, Shiner
Modocee and Peter Foster who escap
ed from the guards on the federal peni
tentiary farm on the government reser
vation last inursuay alternoon, were
captured eight miles west of Reno in
this county Sunday afternoon about
4 o'clock by two colored men of that
township. Constable William Hawkins
and Deputy Constable J. M. Nelson.
Between 8 and 9 o'clock Sunday morn
ing the three escaped convicts called at
Deputy Constable Nelson's house near
the town of Reno and asked how far it
was to Coffeyville, Kan. Mr. Nelson
said "about 250 miles.'' The Indians
then asked for something to eat. Mr.
Nelson told them to step into the house
and get breakfast. Their clothes gave
them away, especially the numbers
stamped thereon.
Mr. Nelson told the red men to eat
breakfast while he went out to feed his
horses. They were suspicious and
quickly left the house, the one inside
following, and started for the brush. Mr.
Nelson ran for a horse; but before he
could hope to overtake the fleeing In
dians they were in the woods.
A few minutes later Mr. Nelson rode
to Constable Hawkins' house and ac
quainted him with the facts. Together
they rode back to where the escaped
prisoners entered the woods. There
they hitched their horses and took ud
the trail.
They followed it till about 4 o'clock in
the afternoon when they came upon the
convicts sitting dejectedly on a log. The
smallest of the trio had become exhaust
ed and could go no further.
The biggest of the Indians jumped off
the log and looked straight at the offi
cers. Constable Hawkins leveled his re
volver at the group and commanded
"hands up." The Indians responded and
immediately walked toward their cap
tors. The prisoners were marched back to
the home of Mr. Nelson where they
were given supper. Soon after dark
they were placed,ina spring wagon and
started off for Ft. Leavenworth.

MR. HUBBARD'S HERD.
Something He Told tlie State Swine Breed
ers This Morning.
The attendance at the State Swine
Breeders' association meeting was not
much increased today and the only thing
that marred the otherwise peaceful as
pect of the meeting was the resolution
introduced by T. A. Hubbard, of Rome,
when he insisted that the score card be
revised.
"As the score card of this association
now stands," said Mr. Hubbard, '"it is en
tirely inadequate to the requirements of
our herds. It has only room for one
hundred points. All this was very well
a few years ago, but I was looking over
my improved herd one daj last week,
and began counting points. It is an
honest fact tiiat some of my hogs scored
as high as 128."
This was referred to the committee on
war a! the suggestion of Mr. Updegraff .

Cairo, Ills, Jan. 6, Henry Dickson, a

through the spine. Afterwards he cut
off a portion of the intestines rolled it in
a paper and banded it to Assistant Jailer
Irvin, wheu the latter came to the cell
saying: "Here is a piece of his entrails."
The cause of the crime is that several

FAST KUK ON THE SANTA FE
California No. 3 Averages 52.3 Miles Per
Hour From Kansas City to Hutchinson.
Santa Fe California limited train No.
3 left Kansas City, Sunday, December 22.
forty minutes late, owing to necessity of
waiting for eastern connections, but
reached Hutchinson, a distance of 234
miles, exactly on time, having made up
forty minutes on present fast schedule,
making all customary stops for passen
gers, water, coal, etc., etc. en route.
ThiB is an average speed of 52.3 miles
per hour, which is certainly a remarkable
record for a single track railroad,
especially when the weight of the train
is taken into consideration, same consist
ing of one 60 foot mail car, one 60 foot
baggage car, one 60 foot chair car. one
12 wheel dining car aad two 12 wheel
Pullman cars, total of six cars.
It must further be considered that fast
limited trains of lines east of Chicago
and St. Louis, seldom carry more than
four cars, all of which are constructed
especially for fast runs, and are much
lighter in weight, while it will be noticed
that the equipment on the Santa Fe lim
ited train is heavy 12 wheel Pullman
sle.epers, diuing curs, baggage cars, etc.
On certain portions of the run between
Kansas City and Hutchinson the train
attained a speed of from 60 to 63 miles
per hour; for instance, Plymouth to Saf
fordville, 3.6 miles, 4 minutes, average
speed per hour, 54 miles; Saffordville to
Strong City, 8.2, 8 minutos, 61.5: Strong
City 10 Evans, 4.2, 5 ntinutes, 50.4; Elm
dale to Ciemonts, 7.3, 7 minutes, 62.6;
Clements to Cedar Grove,, 4.9, 5 minutes,
58.8. The distance, Plymouth to Cedar
Grove, of 30.7 miles was made in 32
minutes, average speed of 57.6 miles
per hour.
Had it been necessary the same aver
age speed of 52.3 miles per hour would
have been maintained or exceeded
through to Dodge City, but as the train
reached its own schedule at Hutchinson,
where it was on time, it naturaily
followed its customary schedule
from that point to'Dodge City over a por
tion of the road where the greatest speed
is usually obtained.
This in connection with the remarkably
fast run from Denver to Colorado Springs,
Cripple Creek and Leadville made on
January 1, places the Atchison, Topaka
& Santa Fe in the front rank among
western roads.
NOT SPRINGLIKE AT ALL.
The Weather Bureau Missed Jnst
About SOO Miles, More or Loss.
The fickleness of the gentle Kansas
zephyrs was attested last night, when in
stead of maintaining their southern lo
cation and continuing the fine Italian
weather, as was previously arranged by
the weather bureau, they changed to the
north and inside of tweive hours, dating
from 7 o'clock last evening, suc
ceeded in blowing the temperature down
twenty degress. This was occasioned,
says Weather Observer Jennings, by the
low barometer moving rapidly eastward.
This afternoon the cloudiness of early
morning has disappeared, and the weath
er is fine, although the wind continues
chilly.
Along the lines of the Santa Fe
in the southern part of the state the
weather was reported clear and cool
this afternoon; in the northern por
tion of the state cold and clear. On the
eastern division of the road a partial
cloudiness is reported. Along all lines
of the Rock Island in Kansas the weath
er is reported partly cloudy. In Texas
nn J Colorado the weather is clear and
mill; in New Mexico, clear and pleas
ant Fair weather with stationary temper
ature is predicted for Kansas tonight
and tomorrow.
TRANSFERS HIS PROPERTY
L. M. Crawford Deon- Grand Opora House
and Crawford Flats. .
Manager L. M. Crawford of Topeka is
disposing of his Topeka property that
is to ail appearances, ho is disposing of it.
Today he filed a deed in the register of
deeds office transferring the Grand Opera
house to the Missouri, Kansas & Ne
braska Opera House and Amusement
company.
This same amusement company is L.
M. Crawford. He holds practically all
the stock, but in 1893 $250,000 in'first
mortgage bonds of the company were
issued and sold, so Crawford is the
owner subject to these bonds. The con
sideration named is $30,000, but
it is not probable that
Mr. Crawford's bond holders put
up that much money as the house is cov
ered by mortgages amounting to about
$20,000. The transfer wao probably
made Jitnply for convenience and to quiet
the holders of the first mortgage bonds
on tho Crawford circuit. .
A deed was also filed on the property
"known as Crawford's flats, between
Quincy and Monroe on Fifth street, to
Lewis Sells. The consideration is named
as $14,000. When Mrs. Sells-Greenspan
was about to foreclose on Crawford's
St. Joe opera house Mr. Lewis Sells
was in Topeka and it was said at the
time that he paid Mrs, Sells-Greenspan
the amount of her claim, about $6,500.
Re also held a second mortgage on the
Crawford flats for about $12,000 and Mr.
Crawford has now transferred the prop
erty to Mr. Sells, it is presumed in dis
charge of the debt.
Mr, Crawford was seen by a Journal
reporter, but refused to talk about the
transfers.
Mrs. Greenspan Sues.
Mrs. Sarah Alien Sells Greenspan to
day began action in tbe district court
against George and Thomas Love and
Howard Chalmers for $320, which she
says the Loves owe her for rent
of a farm. On the fifteenth
day cf Jauuary, 1895, they rented her
farm until March 1, 1896, and were to
pay her $350 ou Jan. 1, 1895. The time
has passed and they have failed to do it.
She says they have sold crops of the
value of $350 to Howard Chalmers within
the past 30 days.

The professor has succeeded in photo
graphing metal weights which were in a
ciosed wooden case, also a man's hand
which shows only the bones, the flesh be
ing invisible. The Chronicle correspon
dent says the discovery is simple. The
professor takes a so-called crookes pipe,
viz: A vacuum glass pipe with an induc
tion current going through it, and by
means of rays which the pipe emits,
photographs ou ordinary photographic
plates. In contrast with the ordinary
rays of light the rays penetrate organic
matter, and other opaque substances just
as ordinary rays penetrate glass.
He has also succeeded iu protographing
hidden metals with a cloth thrown over
the camera. The rays penetrated not
only the wooden case containing the
metals, but the fabric in front of the
negative.
The professor is already using his dis
covery to photograph broken limbs and
bullets in human bodies.

CHICAGO MARKUC LETTER.
Furnished by Topeka Grain and Stock Ex.
clianire, 536 Kansas Avenue.
Chicago, Jan. 7. Wheat Early
continental cables came lower and dull
this morning and caused an easier feel
ing on the curb. May wheat selling at
588 about 9:15 a. in., but second cables
shewed wonderful strength and Liver
pool came one penny higher with con
tinental markets strengthening and ad
vancing. There was plenty of good bull
news flviog around all day. Brad-
streets
showed
million de
crease in the world's visible. Some
war news between England and Ger
many and further bad crop news from
Argentine and Wall street houses got d
ouyers, while the four ports cleared
ncrurly a million bushels of wheat and
flour.
Corn and Oats Very strong. Cables
came higher, exporters report good de
mand, aud commission houses report
good local business. Corn market acts
stubbornly strong acd the best informed
people are buying moderate lines for
long account. We think corn aud oats
will sell much higher.
Provisions opened off on heavier re
ceipts of hogs and heavy sales by longs
taking profits depressed the market still
further. We believe pork a gilt edged
investment on any furh'er decline, Tho
situation warrants a higher rane of
prjees.
