Will someone -who can be believed
kindly tell the truth about Porto Rico?
Probably Mr. Geo. Phillips has a lot
of hogs and that is why he wants so
much corn.
Gunner Morgan has sued his wife for
divorce, which proves that Admiral
Sampson knew his man.
Japan now knows what it is to be one
ct the progressive pushing nations of
the earth. She has a large sized finan
cial panic on her hands.
The varyins reports of the conditions
In Porto Rico indicate that the corres
pondent at Mole St. Nicholas is still
somewhere in that region.
The marriage ceremony might be
amended when rich girls marry im
pecunious noblemen, so as to read "love,
honor, obey and pay h!s debts."
AS soon as Mr. Lloyd Griscom- has
rested sufficiently he will return to his
task of endeavoring to collect that b:il
of $1-0.000 which the Sultan of Turkey
owes to the United States.
The amount of material for speeches
which will be gathered by the congress
men visiting th? Philippines and Cuba,
is likely to necessitate a number of ex
tra editions of the Congressional Record.
J. Picrpcnt Morpan seems to have
adoptedy the drummer's Idea of spend
ing a little money with his customers
and as a starter has bought the stolen
and recovered Gainsborough portrait
for JU0.0O0.
Kach passing day appears to strength
en Mr. Phillips' grip on the corn mar
ket. There is now little room for doubt
that he will maintain his corner until
settlement day. May 1. The May corn
option touched 43 cents in Chicago yes
terday and Phillips began selling. He
disposed of two or three million bushels
before the price fell below 4S cents. At
that point he stopped with the an
nouncement that he was ready to sell
any amount at that figure. As soon as
he slopped selling another advance set
it. While selling May the daring opera
tor bought July and incidentally pocket
ed a profit of about $200,000. In th-?
meantime very little ccrn is going into
Chicago even at the prevailing high
price.
ROAD BUILDING.
The farmers in the vicinity of Wa
bash, Indiana, having become tired of
waiting for a state good roads law have
adopted a voluntary system of construc
tion and assessment and, the dispatches
say, are building gravel roads at a rate
which will soon leave few of the old
mud highways in existence.
These farmers have entered into a mu
tual agreement to build the roads them
selves and each owner of abutting: pro
perty pledges himself to pay a dollar
and fifty cents for each acre of land
owned by him within half a mile of the
road to be improved. He pays in cash
or labor, and has three years in which
to meet the obligation. The work is done
during the dull seasons and the loss of
time is not felt while the roads prog
ress rapidly. They adopt the later ideas
of the road experts and do their work
scientifically and thoroughly. In this
way, by doing a considerable portion of
the work themselves, without any legal
machinery the operation of which costs
money, they have found that the cost of
good hard roads is reduced one half, and
while macadam is not used the roads are
of a substantial and permanent charac
ter. Commenting upon this evidence of
prepress the Grand Rapids Press says:
"The advantage of this plan' is that it
can be carried out by small neighbor
hoods. The farmers save the contrac
tor's profits and get good work at the
minimum of cost. By looking well to the
drainage good roads can be constructed
without the use cf expensive material
and if care Is taken to keep them in re
pair they will last for years. By extend
ing the cash payments over a period of
three years the burden falls lightly on
those who assume it. and the construc
tion of the road invariably increases the
market value of the adjoining lands."
GLOBE SIGHTS

A brakeman refers to a coffin aa "a

In building your air castles, take care

replied, "it's never out."
The history of almost any familv
may be told from the clothes that hang
on the line every wash day.
If you think that people are cruel
and cold hearted, it is one sign that
you have never had a grief that they
knew about.
There is a case in Atchison of a burned
child who has been getting kindling
ready ever since he recovered from his
burns.
If you amount to more than your
neighbor, did you ever think that it
may be because you had the good luck
to hang on the sunny side of the wall?
S.iUi justice: if the older sisters do
have the nice clothes, their younger
sisters have the youth, and look better
In old ones.
Those who live for amusement will
find Atchison unfortunately locatea.
too far east to find fun in hanging a
horse thief, and too far west to be in tne
yachting belt.

Visiting snake root diggers have oc

One Wilson county township proposes

Two citizens of Hays City, aged 70

Ellis county girls?
Bluebird notes are not the only

and many are dying.
The bounteous floods in Gray county

Instead of going out to gather the

An Emporia tramp rebelled at the

As an encouragement to the trade the
probate judge of Grant county will

exemplary since her trial that Jt will

lieve she was the "mischief maker",
charged before the Castle murder.

Mrs. A. M. Roderick, No. 1012 Lime
St., says: "I have had kidney com
plaint for five years, in fact, ever since
I came to Topeka and attribute it to
there being so much aikali in the water.
The pain in my back was something aw
ful and I often thought it wouid break
in two when I stooped. I could not lift
anything and to run a sewing machine
was out of the question. At one time I
suffered so acutely I thought I would
sooner be dead than in such misery. The
ki 'ney secretions were of a dark and
muddy color and their too frequent ac
tion disturbed my rest. I procured
Doan's Kidney Pills at Rowley & Snow's
drug store and their treatment gave me
more relief and comfort than I had dur
ing five years. The pain in my loins
and swelling of my limbs passed away
along with the other troubles."

LOWER RATES
Hay Follow Changes in the manage
ment of Telephone Companies.
Chicago. April 26. John I. Sabin, who
will succeed John M. Clark as president
of the Chicago Telephone company about
May 15, arrived in the city from Boston,
and after holding a consultation with of
ficials of the telephone company, imme
diately departed for San Francisco. He
will close up Ills affairs there aa quickly
as possible and expects to return to Chi
cago about May 10.
Concerning just what changes are con
templated Mr. Sabin was extremely reti
cent. "Very likely some reductions In rates
will be made." he said, "especially for the
benefit of small users of telephone service.
It is too early, however, for me to give
out any specific information on the sub
ject. I have really not had an oppor
tunity to look over the situation here,
and don't know what rates are now
charged.
"I was on my way to Europe with my
daughter when I received the request of
the Chicago Telephone company to be
come its president. The call was entirely
unexpected. I decided, however, to ac
cept and gave up my trip abroad to gat
into Harness again.
RIDDLE WANTS GLICK.
Populist Leader Thinks Fusion Would
Win on Resubmission Platform.
Taylor Riddle is out In an interview
at Wichita for CJeorge W. Glick for
governor in 1902 and a resubmission
plank in the party platform. Riddle Is
for Glick because he is acceptable to
both branches of the fusionists, as he
is a liberal and known to favor the re
submission question.
Riddle says that it is beyond question
of doubt that one of the other of the
two prominent political parties of Kan
sas will introduce a resubmission plank
in the party platform of 1902. and that
it will be the Fusion-Demo-Fopulist
party that will do it. The Republicans
can't afford to introduce such an issue,
he thinks, as it would be a case of eat
ing dog with them, as their own party
leaders made the law for the benefit of
their own prohibition friends.
CHINESE DOR UP.
Retired Behind the Wall to Reappear
in Another Place,
Pekin. April 26. The Chinese regulars
who retired beyond the great wall have
reappeared at another point within the
international area. Strong representa
tions have been made to the Chinese
plenipotentiaries in regard to the neces
sity for their immediate retirement. The
French force is in readiness to renew the
operations, but has been ordered to await
the result of the imperial edicts.
The Chinese are wondering if the im
perial commission appointed by an edict
issued April 23 to inquire fully into the
questions of reforms really means the re
linquishing of absolute power by the court
or whether it is merely the formation of
a privy council.
Notices in Chinese were placarded dur
ing the night calling on patriotic China
men to rise ilay 15 and expel all for
eigners. Yung Lti Ting, the censor of Chi Li
province, has memorialized the throne to
return.
Marchacd Had a Scheme.
Paris. April 26. TheGaulois affirms that
General Bailloud and Colonel Marchand
some time ago contemplated an attempt
to seize the Chinese empress and court.
General Bailloud approached Colonel
Ala roh and and asked him if he would un
dertake a certain enterprise which would
very probablv hasten t h end of hostil
ities. The colonel replied that he was
willing, and Bailloud and Marchand drew
up a plan, the execution of which was
venturesome but feasible. The diplomats,
however, opposed the scheme, and it fell
through.
