SURPRISING RESULTS.
A Simple Internal Remedy Makes Re
markable Cures of Catarrh.
People who have used sprays, inhalers,
Ealves and washes for catarrh and have
- found how useless and Inconvenient
they are, will be agreeably surprised at
results following the use of a pleasant
internal remedy in tablet form; drug
gists everywhere admit that Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets, which they sell at ."0
cents for full sized treatment in the saf
est, most effective and popular of all
catarrh remedies.
Nearly all cheap couch mixtures and
throat lozenges contain opiates; these
cheap medicines give a temporary re
lief, especially with little children by
clestroying rerve sensations; the irrita
tion in throat, which causes couching- is
temporarily removed, not by removing
the cause but by deadening the nerves
of feeling- the irritation is not felt al
though it is still there and will prompt
ly return.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets is the best
remedy to remove catarrhal secretion,
whether in the nose, throat or stomach
because they are composed of whole
some antiseptics lik Eueolyptol, Guaia-t-ol.
Sanguinaria and Hydrastis: when
you use these tablets you know what
you are putting- into your system and
riot taking- chances with cocaine, opiates
or similar poisons found in so many ca
tarrh cures and cough medicines.
Dr.- Kamsrlell in commenting on ca
tarrh cures says: "I can heartily rec
ommend Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, be
cause they contain no cocaine nor other
(W: serous drug found in so many ad
vertised, catairh cures. I have known
of many casts of long standing catarrh
of the head and throat completely cumd
by the doily use of these tablets for
several weks. One case in particular
which I could not reach with an inhaler
or spray and where the catarrh cause i
daily headaches and a notieable loss of
hearing was entirely cured by this
harmless but effective remedy "
Dr. Wainwria-ht says: -i never hesi
tate to prescribe Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets for catarrhal headaches and catarr
hal deafness because I know theni to be
perfectly safe for child or adult and
iiave seen many remarkable cures re
sulting from their regu'ar daiiv use- be
cause thev are advertised and sold in
drug stores is no reason why any good
physician should not use them because
we should seize upon the means of cure
wherever found."
S'uart's Catarrh Tablets are especial
ly valuable for catarrhal colds in child
ren because they are pleasant to tl .-
taste and may be used freely to break
up severe colds and croup at the verj
beginning-.
All druggists Bell the remedy at fifty
cents for full sized package.

NEW AR31Y FLAN.
Permanent Force of 50,000 Men is
Proposed.
New Tork, Nov. 20 High officials con
nected with the war department, it is
announced in a Tribune dispatch from
Washington, say that they are not go
ing to ask congress for a permanent en
listed strength of 100,000 men for the
regular army or for an addition to the
number of officers now on thearmy lists.
It is learned from authoritative sources
in the department that a bill is being
prepared which will be presented to con
gress, providing for a permanent min
imum strength of 50,000 men in the reg
ular army and at the same time con
ferring authority on the president to
double this number in case of need to
100,000 men. This is to be done, not by
forming new regiments but by adding
enlisted men to the existing organized
companies without at all increasing the
number of commissioned officers. This
arrangement would bring the army more
in harmony with the modern methods of
organization which tend to large com
panies and regiments.
General Joseph It. Hawley of Con
necticut, chairman of the senate com
mittee on military affairs, says that as
soon as Secretary Root returns from
Cuba a bill reorganizing the army on
a permanent basis will be prepared and
introduced in both houses.
Senator Hawley is quoted a3 saying
in the course of an interview:
"In my opinion an army of not less
than 1CO.00O and perhaps more, should
be maintained at the present time. In
the n-ar future, of course, there may
be cause for a reduction. I think a
measure might be passed empowering
the president to use his discretion to a
great extent in determning the exact
strength of the army, n&t. of course, to
exceed the maximum fixed by congress.
Under conditions such as those existing
at present, for instance, the president
could recruit an army of whatever pro
portions he deemed necessary to handle
the Filipino insurrection and upon the
conclusion of that work he could reduce
the number of troops in proportion to
existing needs. This. I think, would be
a most excellent solution of the whole
problem."
BERNHARDT. ARRIVES.
Accompanied by Coquelin and
Large Company.
New Tork, Nov. 20. Madame Sarah
Bernhardt and M. Constant Coquelin
and their large company of actors ar
rived here today on L'Aquitaine. The
vessel had a rough trip, meeting heavy
s as all the way across. Madame Bern
hardt, who looked to be in the best of
health, said she was glad to revisit this
country as she expects to write a good
deal of America in her memoirs, which
she is now preparing. The actress denied
that Rostand was insane and asserted
the stories to that effect had been cir
culated by the author's enemies.
CLOSELY GUARDED.
Great Secrecy Concerning the Nicara
guan Canal Report.
New Tork, Xov. 20. It was reported In
"Washington, says a HeralJ special, that
burglars who were aftf-r the forthcoming
report of the Walker Isthmian canal com
mision, had entered the Corian building-,
in which the commission has its offices,
and had broken open the desk of Lieu
tenant Commander Staunton, secretary of
the commission.
I-iL-utenaiit Commander Staunton said
last night that when he tried to open his
dsk a day or two ago he discovered that
the lock was broken. His impression was
that it was the work of burglars, who for
s'-rr.e purpose wt-re peeking" to get advance
information about the conclusion of the
report. He sent for a locksmith, who per
suaded him that the desk had not been
broken open, but that the lock had be
come disarranged in the course of usage.
The incident created great excitement
among the members of the commission.
Th report of the c - mmipsion is being
very closely safeguarded, and, it is said,
some of the commissioners are not yet
acquainted with what the report will con
tain. The best Information obtainable at
"Wahine-ton is that the commission cer
tainly by a vote of five to four, and pos
sibly by six to three will recommend the
Nieaiuruau route. This is based upon
several inferences as well as upon state
ments from the commissioners them
selves. It is said that President McKinley has
received suff UMnt information about the
report for use in his message. The mes
sage, if in line with the rumor, will ad
vocate the adoption of the Nicaragua
route, the ratification of the Hay-Paunce-fte
treaty: the construction of a canal
wlrhout fortifications, and the adoption of
Tolls discriminating in favor of the United
States, Csta Rica and Nicaragua only
so far as coastwise vessels are concerned
and leaving the canal open to all the ship
ping of the world.
Final estimates of the coFt of a Nica
raguan canal have nut yet been complet
ed. The engineers are still working on
the figures.
Approximate figures of the cost of the
Nicaragua ti canal are believed to be about
$'!5J J
The commission will resume its session
in Washington on Thursday and it is ex-Pfctr-d
to remain at work throughout the
COMING DRAMATIC EVENTS.
The concert by Innes' band at the Craw
ford Friday night is under the auspices of
Marshall's band and the Topeka organ
ization will receive a per cent of the
gross receipts.
MLss Frances Boyden, who will be heard
here during the coming Innes engage
ment, is said to be a sourano of com
manding range and power. Miss Boyden
is an -American girl whom Bandmaster
Innes engaged for his present tour after
hearing her sing in concert at the Roval
Albert Hall. London. England. Her de
but was made two years ago a.t Brussels,
where she is said to have created an im
mediate success. Miss Boyden is particu
larly well known in England, where she
is constantly engaged at the bir musical
festivals, which form so conspicuous a
feature of English musical life. Miss
H. 'Vtl. n is a l.yrie soprano of great purity
of tone and her principal success having
heen made as Mnreuerite in "Faust" and
Klsa in --Lohengrin." It is for this Tea
s'. n that Bandmaster Innes has announced
this delightful singer for the jewel song
from "Faust." and the well known "Elsa'a
I. ream." Bandmaster Innes brine with
him in addition to Miss Frances Boyden
his complete band of nftvfive players.
Kryl the wonderful cornetist; Albert!, the
well-known baritone: Veron. a- basso of

of a scenic production of the Anvil chorus,
which will be given with electrical effects,
lowered lights and a corps of costumed
anvil beaters.
Hulas for Luzon.
Seattle. Wn., Nov. 20. A train of 14
cars of army mules destined for ship
ment to the Philippines is expected here
by Quartermaster Ruhlin during the
rext two days. Considerable anxiety is
felt for their arrival in good condition
owing to the reports of very cold weath
er in Montana and Idaho. The animals
win be rested and fed on arrival at Spo
kane and will probably reach here Wed
nesday night.
Bjornson Goes to Paris.
Christlania, Nov. 20. The poet Bjorn

will make a. Ions stay.
ENGLAND INPATIENT.
Grows Weary Over Belay of Settling
Chinese Question.
New- York, Nov. 20. There is a grow
ing feeling of impatience in London over
the delay in effecting a settlement of
the Chinese question, says a Tribune
cablegram. The English press frankly
confesses that it weary hearing about
punitive expeditions to one quarter or
another, and that it considers it hardly
w-orth while to keep all China in a state
of turmoil, preventing thereby the re
storation of normal trade relations in
order to pdnish a few criminals who can
not be caught while the court remains in
exile. English opinion will not be fully
expressed until the cues are provided
by the foreign office but it is fairly safe
to assume that it supports the American
contention that the most urgent require
ment of the situation is the establish
ment at Pekin of a government w ith the
essential elements of stability and au
thority. Since there can be no substi
tute for the empress rule, her return to
the capital seems a foregone conclusion.
The punishment of the princes, especial
ly Tuan, is the chief obstacle to a set
tlement. The latest dispatches indicate
that the European powers are gradually
coming to a decision on the prelim
inaries of peace on which general ne
gotiations may be opened. The trend of
events indicate that the EuroDean pow
ers are slowly approaching the Ameri
can position on the whole matter.
A NERVY LAWYER.
Chicago Attorney Awes a Mob and
Saves a Justice.
Chicago, Nov. 20. "Back! Stand back.
The first one who comes over that rail
ing is a dead man."
With these words and with a revolver
in his hand to make them good, Attor
ney John Trainer, assisted by Constable
Henry DeToung. saved Justice Peter De
Young from being mobbed in his own
court room in South Holland, in Thorn
ton township.
The demonstration against the magis
trate was brought about as a result of
the Justice refusing to deal leniently
with Jacob Eriesma, who. had been ar
rested on a charge of conducting a
'"blind pig."
When the rush -was made toward the
magistrate. Attorney Trainer and Con
stable DeToung Jumped to the Justice's
side and drew their revolvers. They
commanded the crowd to fall back but
their orders were only partly obeyed.
Then the attorney for the defense asked
for a change of venue and it was grant
ed and the magistrate signed the papers,
while his two friends stood, over hirn
with their revolvers.
SCHOOL CHILDREN AID.
New York Pupils Send $15,000 to
Galveston.
New York, Nov. 20. Substantial help
will be given to the public schools at
Galveston. Texas, by the teachers and
pupils of the public schools of this city.
The hurricane which desolated Galveston
destroyed the schools there.
President Miles M. O'Brien, of the local
board of education, issued a circular ad
dressed to the local principals and teach
ers requesting them to take up a sub
scription, and this has been done. The
officials of the school board for" Man
hattan and The I.tronx have been busily
engaged in counting the money turned
in. It is estimated that the amounts
raised in the two boroughs will not be
less than Jlo.OOO.
President O'Brien says that while sub
scriptions are not ordinarily permitted
in the schools, he deemed this, cause to
be so worthy that he violated the rule
in this instance.
GAMBLERS ON TRIAL.
Members of Noted German Club Vio
late the Law.
Berlin, Nov. 20. The second trial of
the defendants in the charges of gam
bling at the club Der Harmosen, after
the reichsgericht had annulled the ac
quitting sentence, began today. One of
the defendants, Herr Von Kroecher. sort
of General Von Kroecher, commander of
an army corps and an intimate adviser
of Emperor William, fled to the south,
and the court orderl his arrest wher
ever he should be found. The principal
culprit, "Gentleman" Wolff, this time
was present.
NEW OREGON COAL ROAD.
Short Line to Nehalem Coal Fields
Projected.
Portland, Ore.. Nov. 20. The Ojlego
nian prints the following:
The project for a railroad from Port
land to the Nehalem coal fields is tak
ing shape. It is supposed that influences
favorable to the Great Northern are be
hind the present Nehalem project. It ia
said that something definite regarding
the building of the line will be given out
in a few days. It is expected to bring
the Nehalem coal and timber and agri
cultural products of Tillamook county
to Portland direct.
This route makes the distance from
Portland to Nehalem Bay less than 78
miles. It contemplates going out a few
miles on one of two tracks already built
on the Southern Pacific to Hillsboro,
or on the Northern Pacific to a point
near Holbrcok. The Hillsboro route, in
connection with the Southern Pacific,
would leave only 58 miles of new track
to build to reach Nehalem Bay; from
the Northern Pacific the mileage would
be a little more than 73 milea.

FELL WITH A CRASH.
Tall of Life-Size Painting of Lincoln
In 'White House Startled McXinley.
Washington, Nov. 20. With a crash
that resounded through the length and
breadth of the White House, the heav
ily framed life-size painting of Abraham
Lincoln fell from its place on the wall
of the famous east room this afternoon.
The noise was so great that it was
heard distinctly by the president and
Mrs. McKinley in the residential portion
of the mansion, and they sent a mes
senger in haste to learn the cause.
The portrait of the martyred president
was painted especially for the White
House, and is one of four that hang in
the east room, the others being those
of George and Martha Washington and
Thomas Jefferson.
It was suspended from a cornice over
one of the windows, and this cornice had
given way. The gilt frame of the pic
ture was broken to atoms, but, fortun
ately, so far as a cursory examination
has shown, the painting itself, with the
exception of a few slight scratches, es
caped injury.
A minute search of the canvas will be
made, however, as the portrait is said
to be the best extant of President Lin
coln, and Mr. McKinley has given orders
that any damage to it be Immediately
repaired.
What caused the accident is not known
with certainty, but as workmen have
recently been rebuilding a staircase in
the east wing it is supposed the constant
hammering loosened the cornice. The
incident is important at this time in
asmuch as it will likely result in direct
ing the attention of the congress that
is to soon assemble to the dilapidated
state of the White House.

SENATOR H ANNA'S VIEWS.
He Talks Freely on Reorganization
of the Army.
Cleveland, O., Nov. 20. With the hard
work of the recent campaign behind him,
his brain and nerve force recuperated.
Senator Hanna is commencing to look for
ward to new conquests. It has been a five
years' campaign with him. th first skir
mish being fought when Piatt and Quay
opposed the indorsement of Major Mc
Kinley for the presidential 'nomination.
To the ordinary person it would seem
that with vietorv after victory to his
credit, Senator Hanna would have nothing
left to Hght for. That he has. however,
is shown in his declaration that he in
tends to take more interest in congres
sional affairs this year than in any of the
previous sessions. To facilitate his work
in. this direction he will remain in Wash
ington from the first dav of December
until congress adjourns. He has renewed
his lease of the majudon formerly occu
pied bv Vice President Hobart. known as
the Cameron property. The Hannas will
entertain rovallv.
"One of the first accomplishments of the
new congress," said Senator Hanna to
day, "will have a strong bearing on the
future of the American army. This will
probably place the new army on a perma
nent basis. At the present time our army
exists under a tenure of special legisla
tion. Its lease on life expires next July,
so that something will have to be done
bv our next congress. Various plans have
been suggested. The more valuable of tha
suggestions have been or will be gathered
into what is known as the army bill. This
will be presented to congress early in the
session. The bill will, firnt of all. provide
a p: tn whereby the army will be placed
on a permanent footing. It will call for
65,000 or TO.OoO men. The bill will come up
early, because action on it is imperative.
It is acknowledged that we must have
a standing army of some siae if we are
to maintain our position in our new pos
sessions. Without immediate action on
the subject we w-ould find ourselves next
July without a corporal's guard in the
Philippines. A majority of the enlistments
expire July 1, but many of the boys will
be coming home in February and March.
We wili have to have things in shape so
that some one will be on hand to take
their places."
THE BURNING AT LIH0N.
To Be Called to the President's Atten
tion by Ministers.
Chicago, Nov. 20. The burning of the
negro Porter at the stake by the citizens
of Limon, Col., will be brought to the
attention of President McKinley by the
Methodist ministers of Chicago. At a
meeting in the First Methodist church
they passed a resolution censuring the
governor of Colorado, the sheriff and
the citizens of Limon who composed the
mob and resolved to request the presi
dent to call attention in his next mes
sage to the 2,000 persons put to death by
mobs in the last ten years and urge
him to recommend to congress suitable
legislation that shall secure of persons
accused of crime a fair trial and hold
criminally liable all persons constituting
mobs to torture, murder and burn.
TO STOP CLASS RUSHES.
University of Chicago Thinks the
Fun" Too BrutaL
Chicago, Nov. 20. Alarmed by the
death of a student at the Massachus
etts School of Technology last week
while engaged in a class rush, the facul
ty of the University of Chicago warneil
the students of that institution that no
class rushes would be permitted here
after at the university and intimated
that those found participating in an
outbreak of that kind would be expelled.
This action was the result of a reso
lution passed by the university council
condemning rushes and declaring that
they should be stopped. The resolution
was read to the junior college students,
consisting of the two great rival classes,
the freshmen and the sophomores, at
chapel by Dean George E. Vincent.
The action of the faculty at this time
is due to the fact that a rush was being
planned in a quiet way, by the students
for next Friday night.

FLYING ACROSS COUNTRY.
How the Innes Band Makes Two
Towns a Day.
The Innes band, which comes to the
Crawford theater Friday evening, is
booked solid for eighteen months ahead.
Robert E. Johnston, who Is general man
ager of the Innes band, was here arrang
ing for the Topeka concert.
Johnston is one of the shrewdest im
presarios In the country. He brought to
the United States and managed every
noted artist of recent years, except Fad
erewski. The array of artists Mr. J-hn-ston
introduced in America, is formi' 0 '1.
Including, among others. Trebelll, Msin,
Henri Marteau, Eugene Ysaye. Rivarde,
Plancon and Sauc-r. With Innes' band are
ten artists giving- scenes from grand
operas and this combination of high-
5rade musical talent is now en tour. Mr.
ohnston has booked four hundred con
certs in two hundred days. On the pres
ent tour they make two towns a day,
playing a matinee in one place and a
night concert in another every day. The
organiaation travels in its own special
train from place to place. The itinerary
they are now embarked upon under John
ston's bookings will take them all over
the United States: Into Cuba. Mexico, and
Canada: across the Atlantic to Scotland
and. back.
In an interview, Mr. Johnston detailed
to a State Journal reporter some very in
teresting points about the management of
this great amusement enterprise.
"Innes' band travels In its own special
train, even including the engine. It is
not so difficult to jump from one town

A BOLD THIEF.
Saws Hole Through Show Window
Floor and Gets Diamonds.
Erie, Pa., Nov. 20 While the store was
full of customers, hundreds of people
passing the window and a watchmaker
working not six feet away from him, a
daring thief stole a tray of diamonds
valued at $2,500 from S. Loeb, a fashion
able jeweler, and had been gone an hour
before the robbery was discovered.
The proprietor of the store and the
police are astounded at the novel and
daring tactics of the robber. He had
secured entrance to the cellar and sawed
his way through the floor into the box
which forms the floor of the display win
dow. Then he sawed through the thin
boards until he had a hole six inches
wide and a foot long, the sawdust being
hidden by the tissue paper on which tha
jewels were displayed.
This hole gave him access to the tray
of diamonds, which he tipped on edge,
permitting the glittering shower of
Jewels to slide down Into the window
box. The tray was replaced over the
hole, and it was not until a clerk went
to display the gems to a customer that
the theft was discovered.
There is scant hope of apprehending
the robber, as it is known he departed
from the basement of the store fully
an hour before the proprietor discovered
hia loss.
TO CROSS THE OCEAN.
Inventor Holland Planning to Send
His Queer Craft to Europe.
New York, Nov. 20. John P. Holland,
the inventor of the submarine boat, an
nounces that he has planned a number
of sea voyages for his boats now under
course cf construction. These Include
a trip to Cuba and another one to Euro ne.
As a precautionary measure, a tender
will accompany the boats. The tender
will carry extra men and duplicate parts
of the machinery, in case any of the
crew are incapacitated or the submarine
boats meet with accident. A full crew
of seven men will man each craft.
These sea trials will be made in March
next, when the heaviest weather and the
roughest seas are encountered in the
Atlantic. The southern trip will be
taken when the trip across the ocean
is made. The first stop will be at the
Bermudas and the next at Lisbon.
Noted Ex-Confederate Dead.
Chicago, Nov. 20. Captain George T.
Coffey is dead at his residence in this
city. Captain Coffey was a Misslssip
pian. who owned large plantations in the
south before the civil war. When the
war began he enlisted in a Confederate
regiment, and served until the surren
der of Gen. Lee. He fought at Gettys
burg and on many other famous battle
fields. He was confined in Federal pris
ons several times and on one occasion
when a prisoner on a Federal gunboat
he planned and almost accomplished the
escape of the Confederate prisoners and
the capture by them of the gunboat.
The plot was discovered by Captain La
fayette MeWilllama, the commander of
the boat.
