Perhaps the powers will conclude to let Japan and Russia do all the fighting in China. Oom Paul has lost his capital but ha is still In possession of his treasury and his big guns. Lord Roberts must now begin the tank of chasing the Boers across the veldts and around the kops and back again. The result In Oregon appears to be too much like that of two years ago for anybody to get a great deal of satisfac tion out of it. It looks as though Governor Taylor of Kentucky may be compelled to de liver his campaign speeches through the medium of the megaphone. The refusal of the New Jersey Demo crats to instruct for Bryan probably grew out of their respect for a dis tinguished citizen of that state named Cleveland. David B. Hill has established a claim to the title of the great harmonizer. He handled the convention of New York Democrats In a manner satisfactory to all parties concerned. The colored people are a Uttle late with their organization of a national political party. Most of them have been deprived of their franchise by re cent constitutional changes i the south. A question seems to have arisen as to whether Lord Roberts is a great gen eral or a great diplomat. It is hinted that the surrender of Pretoria was secretly arranged with the Boer lead ers. It was but natural that Lord Roberts should feel some regret at being com pelled to cable the news of the capture of another regiment of his men by the Boers, along with the news of the fall of Pretoria, If the intention of the navy depart ment Is to send the battleships Indiana and Massachusetts to Chinese waters, the trip will of course be made via the Suez canal. In that case it might be convenient to empower their comman ders to collect that little bill from Tur key while en route. DEFEAT OF WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN OREGON. The proposed amendment to the con stitution of Oregon, granting the fran chise to women was defeated at the election last Tuesday. In the ten years from 1889 to 1899, the women of Colorado, Utah fend Idaho acquired the full right to vote. Illinois, Connecticut and Ohio granted women school suffrage. Minnesota permitted them to vote for members of library boards. Iowa gave them a very re stricted right to vote on questions in volving the issue of municipal bonds. Louisiana empowered taxpaying wo men to vote on all questions, submitted to taxpayers. But In the same ten years three dif ferent suffrage bllla failed in Arizona, three In Arkansas, two in South Da kota, four in California, and four bills Connecticut. In Delaware the consti- out the word male. In Illinois four : suffrage bills failed, and two failed in Iinlian-a. In Ohio a suffrage amendment was , defeated, and two suffrage bills failed , to pass. In the state of Washington , a suffrage amendment was defeated at j the polls, although in the territory of AVashlngton woman's suffrage was the ! rule. Woman's suffrage was no more i popular In Mississippi and Missouri , tnan in Rhode Island and Vermont, no i more popular in an old state like Maine j than in a new state like South Dakota. In 1$!5 all voters in Massachusetts, ' men and women, who were eligible to I vote for school committees, were al- ? lowed to vote on the question: "Is it expedient that municipal suffrage be , granted to women?" Of the men, 86.970 voted yes and 186,976 no. Of the 575, , 000 women entitled to vote more than , 5&Q.000 declined to do so, and less than 4 per cent, voted yes. In Chicago, 29, Sis women registered for the school elections of 1S94. but 1,488 for those of 1898. In Cleveland, the woman's school vote fell from 5,831 to 82 between 189 and lS'dS. from the foregoing facts the Chicago Inter-Ocean draws the conclusion that women themselves are not In favor of woman's suffrage.

Why not Shake the tree? - - It is becoming cheaper every day to put on style; any neighbor woman who comes in and sits awhile is now called a "trained nurse" by the sick one's family. The women who officiously show their friendship by fanning the widow at a funeral, are often her sharpest critics when she recovers from her grief and begins to look around. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. The early swimmer catches the cramp. It's a poor elevator that won't work both ways. One way to make both ends meet is to tie them together. One little word may make a new friendship or break an old one. 'Some men are unable to understand why they can't understand things. A man resembles a wolf ; ha can change his coat but not his disposition. Some women give mora thought to the selection of a gown than of hus band. Many people get tired of being good and experiment in vice from curiosity. It is easier to take things as they come than it is to part with them as they go. Only a fool is ashamed toacknowledge his poverty. The shabby genteel man is the poorest man on earth. Probably the quickest way for a man to get rid of his wife's female acquaint ances is to make love to them. A physician says that the healthiest position to lay in is the head to the north. People who keep hens should remember this. YOUNG WOMAN MISSING. Miss Elsie Fry of Junction City Dis appears in Kansas City.

" After spending two years in tak ing all kinds of medicines that were suggested for eczema, but without avail, my mother was induced to take Hood's SarsapariUa. The result was wonderfully gratifying. Her limbs had been terribly lacerated by the dis ease, and there were times when fire could not have been more painful. She was, in fact, almost wild. Two bottles of Hood's SarsapariUa com pletely cured her, and not a traee of eczema was left." E. W. Deckek, Gardiner, N. Y. Eat Well; Sleep Well. " Hood's SarsapariUa has been a great blessing to me. I was weak, irritable, tired and nervous; had no appetite and was always sad and des pondent. One day I got hold of a little book about Hood's SarsapariUa. I looked it over and resolved to try a bottle. I was better before it was gone, so I kept on until 1 had taken five bottles. I can now sleep well, feel cheerful and can do all my work, including pluin sewing, and I can walk two or three mile3 a day. I am 65 years old and now feel that life is worth living."

PROHIBITION CONVENTION. The Official Call For State Meeting: is Issued by Committee. The Prohibition party in Kansas will hold its state convention in representa tive hail, Topeka, on Wednesday, June 20th, commencing at 9 o'clock a. m. A state ticket will be nominated, a platform adopted, the party reorganfzed, delegates to the national convention at Chicago ap pointed, and such other business trans acted as shall be necessary to prepare campaign. As many counties in the state are un organized, the committee are very anxious that every part of the state should be rep resented in the convention. We, there fore, suggest that the friends in each lo cality should consult together and secure as full representation as possible. We in vite Women's Christian - Temperance Unions whom we gladly, recognize as po tential allies in our work to send dele gates. We ask the true-hearted women of Kansas, who represent the home of the state, to come. We invite every one who is ready to ally himself with the only party that stands firmly and unflinchingly for the prohibition of the liquor traffic, in state and nation, to come with us, and aid In its overthrow. Prohibition is the supreme issue in our state. The honor of Kansas la imperiled Her laws are nullified, and her constitution disregarded. Her political leaders prac tically ignore Prohibition. The party in power has signally failed to fulfill its pledges to enforce the law. In many of our cities and villages li quors are freely sold, while comparatively little effort is made by the officials to pre vent it. We must call a halt and snow politicians and liquor men that we mean business. The friends of Prohibition must be loyal and true to their principles. We must come together, with one accord in God's name throw our banner to the breeze and rally around it! Hon. Oliver W. Stewart, our newly ap pointed national chairman, will attend the convention and address a mass meet ing in representative hall on Wednesday evening. It will be worth a trip to To peka to hear him. Other speakers will address the convention, and good music will enli"en all the sessions. The state central committee will meet on Tuesday (19) at 3 o'clock p. m. Every member of the committee should be pres ent at that meeting, without fail. Reduced rates will be secured on the railroads, and at hotels, of which due no tice will be given in The Fulcrum and other papers. By order state central committee. M. WILLIAMS. Chairman.

Andy Patten, a colored man, fell from his bicycle at Tenth and Kansas ave nues at noon today and died almost in stantly. Patten, who was a horse traded, was riding his bicycle south on Kansas ave nue and turned west on Tenth street. He had ridden but about 50 feet west when he suddenly pitched headlong from his wheel and did not move after striking the ground. Henry Steel and James Richardson saw him fall. They carried him to the shade of a building and endeavored to revive him. He breathed once or twice and was dead. Coroner Hogeboom wa called and had the body removed to the undertaking establishment of De Moss & Penwell, where an inquest will be held. Patten probably died from heart fail ure. It was thought at first that he had been injured by the fall. He was a well known colored man. BAKING PROBLEM SOLVED. A Method of Indefinitely Keeping Fresh the Oven's Best Products, Though American bakers have for years excelled, many of their daintiest creations could never be enjoyed at their best because it had been impos sible to protect them from moisture, odors, dust or germs and keep them fresh until they reached the consumer. Now an American's inventive genius has intervened, and it is possible to have the best efforts of the best bakers in the world as fresh ana as dainty as if just from tne oven, and to have them in any season and anwhere up in the rigorous Alaskan climate, in the heat of the Indies, in the moisture-charged atmosphere of the seacoast, or the mild temperature of the Ir, terior--just as fresh, crisp and delicate as if bought the day they were baked ir. the famous bakeries of the great cities. This invention is known as the "In-er-seal Patent Package." It is protected by law and is made of specially pre pared cardboard, so cut that it folds into a box jUBt big enough to hold the biscut for which it is designed. It is lined with a delicate waterproof paper that is the actual wrapper of the eon tents, and the placing of thispaper and the cardboard around the biscuit, in the form of a box, without the use of paste or nails, or metal clamps or cords is a wonder in itself. The exterior is still further protected with a label sheet designating the contents, the end being sealed with the "In-er-seal" trade mark design now so familiar to all newspaper readers. This trademark design Is one that was adopted advisedly, for It is a sealed and inersealed package. It is so sealed outside and inside that it would be imoossible for moisture to enter, though the package were exposed to a London fog, or an April shower; im possible for dust to get in even if a cyclone carried it along; impossible for odors of the mackerel barrel or the meat block to get in, even if left out in their odorous company; impossible for a germ to enter, because the bis cuits are packed at the ovenside all the good sealed in; all the bad sealed out. The "In-er-seal Patent Package" Is controlled and used exclusively by the National Biscuit company, the origi nators of the famous Uneeda Biscuit and other TTneeda products, much of the lame of whieh resulted from the protection of this wonderful package. This alone is sufficient testimony of its ability to keep good things good. THEY REACH StTpAUL. Boer Envoys Are Given a Hearty Reception. St. Paul, Minn., June 7. Dr. Abraham Fisher and C. H.

Kentucky's Former Governor Aban dons the Gubernatorial Race. Indianapolis, Ind., June 7. Develop ments of the last few days have led V. S.

Important suits have Just been de cided in the t'nited States circuit court involving the right to the word Hood or Hood's. Messrs. C. I. Hood & Co., of Lowell, Mass., proprietors of Hood's SarsapariUa, began suit for infring ment against Dr. J. C. Hood of Louis ville, Ky., who was putting up what he called "Dr. Hood's SarsapariUa." After a hearing in the United States circuit court at Louisville, Judge Evans on April 12 granted a temporary in junction in tavor of O. I. Hood & Co., and restraining J. C. Hood from using the word Hood in any way or form on any preparation of sa aparilla. Messrs. C. I. Hood & Co. also began suit against a retail druggist in Indian apolis, Louis H. Renkeit. who was sell ing Dr. J. C. Hood's SarsapariUa. Dr. J. C. Hood employed counsel and made a defense, but Judge Baker of the United States circuit court granted an injunction which on April 23 became perpetual. These two decrees establish the ex clusive right of C. I. Hood & Co. to the word "Hood's" and declce In effect that no other person can put up a Hood's SarsapariUa even if his name is Hood, nor can any retail druggist sell or offer for sale any sarsapariila bearing the name Hood or Hood's other than that prppared by C. I. Hood & Co. These decisions will be gratifying to every fair minded pei-son. No manu facturer should object to fair competi tion, but where an attempt is made to steal or Infringe upon a business which has been established by great skill, labor and expenditure, justice cannot be dealt out too quickly.
