The State Journal Is a member of the Associated Press and receives the full day telegraph report of that great news or ganization for exclusive afternoon publi cation !n Tooeka. The news Ts received In the State Jour nal Duildlruj over wires for this sole pur-peee. Secretary Shaw will act as nurse for the treasury deficit one more year. Commissioner Garfield is hearing from the country on his beef trust report. Oklahoma has been denied statehood, but she still retains? her right to have booze .dispensed within her borders. Russia lost no time in paying the J325.0OO indemnity demanded by Eng land for Rojestvensky's attack on the North sea fishing fleet. She is in no position to argue the point or even await an invitation to pay up. down? It would be less expensive and more pleasant. At Ottawa the automobiles have been taxed. This rnakes the fellows that travel in wagons give them the horse grin. A Topeka school girl has given up looking at the funny papers on Satur days in order to skip the rope with her sweetheart. Iola citizens have refused to drink city water. The doctors say it causes cholera morbus, but no substitute is prescribed. Wife beaters at LaCrosse are given 45 days on the rock pile. In many cases this should be accompanied by a duck ing in the pond. Now that the Arkansas City joints have closed the town has purchased a water wagon. But finding a driver, aye, there's the trouble. Kinnison wants a doctor so badly that a residence will be furnished free and all the sick cases for ten miles around guaranteed him. People living in Sumner county, it would seem, -would avoid th festive oyster. Dozens of cases of ptomaine poisoning have resulted from two oys ter banquets at Wellington. COUNTING THE VOTES. Ballots in Second Ward Beins Scrutin ized by Committee. BRYAN'S PREDICTION. Says Railroads Will Combine With Standard In Kansas. Those Republican members of the Colorado legislature who are opposed to Peabody doubtless would pay hand somely for some practicable plau by which they could defeat the claimant without seating a Democrat in his place. Madison. Wis.. March 10. On invi tation of both houses Colonel W. J. Bryan today addressed the Wisconsin legislature. Governor LaFollette was present. Mr. Bryan championed the reform measures of the state admin istration. He characterized Governor LaFollette as the first and foremost champion of reform in the Republican party in the United States. The speaker opposed the influence of cor porations in politics and he particu larly scored the railways. He predict ed that the railways would yet com bine with Standard Oil company in Kansas to put out of business the state oil refinery. Mr. Bryan, how ever, believed that Kansas people would then be aroused to crush the monopolies in that state. Governor LaFollette later entertain ed Colonel Bryan at luncheon. LIGHT SNOW TODAY. Perhaps it has been noticed that al most simultaneously with the tele graphic announcement that a Japanese fleet had passed Hong Kong sailing westward, came the news that Ro jestvensky had left Madagascar headed for the Red Sea. The Russians appear to be able to learn. Dr. Emile Reich, a European soci ological student and investigator who is credited with having spent five years in the United States, has recently writ ten a book in which he intimates strongly that this country before very long is likely to be the target of a hos tile combination of European powers. The great prosperity of the American people and the expansion of the sphere of action of the-American government are among the causes which Dr. Reich considers as possible reasons for ha tred abroad. If any such clash should ever come, appearances indicate that it would be because of the Monroe doc trine. Yet so far no European power since the second French empire has op enly assailed that doctrine. It has been denounced abundantly in the for eign presses, but that is a very differ ent thing from making it the pretext for a European confederation which might embrace half a dozen nations. There appears to be no immediate cause tor alarm- It Continued a Half Hour Melted. But Soon The first snowfall for three weeks came down this morning at beginning with 8:4;i this morning and continued for a litt!e over half an hour. The entire precipitation for that time was 0.02 of an inch. A return to warmer weather is promised. Th minimum registered today was at 9 o'clock this morning. Following are the hourly tempera ture readings as recorded by the gov ernment thermometer: 7 o'clock 33'11 o'clock 32 8 o'clock 33,12 o'clock 3 5 9 o'clock 3 21 1 o'clock 37 10 o'clock 32i 2 o'clock 4S The wind at 2 o'clock was blowing from the west at a rate of 5 miles per hour. A committee appointed from among the Republican city central committee is today making a recount of the vote cast for councilman and member of the board of education from the Second ward. The recount w'as asked at the instance of Richard Wilson who was defeated for member of the city coun cil from the Second ward by nine votes, his successful opponent being W. A. Voigt and of W. H. Wilson, candidate for members of the board of education from the same ward who was defeated by George H. Smith by a majority of one vote. The committee consisting of H. G. Larimer, chairman, Fourth ward; C. E. Heartburg, First ward; J. C. Rodgers, Fourth ward; C. E. Dandridge, Fifth ward, and George Larkins, Sixth ward, was appointed last night by the city central committee to make the recount. The committee met this morning at 9 o'clock in the office of H. G. Larimer and commenced to make a. recount of all the ballots cast in the Second ward and to pass upon the defective ones al leged to have been rejected. Each of the interested candidates was allowed to have a representative present to watch the recount. At the meeting of the Republican city, central committee held last night at the court house to make a canvass of the vote cast at the primars the two can didates contesting for a recount re quested the committee to appoint a special committee to -pass upon a re count. Their request was granted but ! a similar request of Welza G. Fair- j child, who was defeated by S. S. Limy for the position of police judge by 159 votes was turned down. The city cen tral committee held that a recount would not show any material difference in the final result. Mr. Fairchild stated this morning that the report that had been circula ted that he" would take recourse to le gal proceedings to force a recount is not true.

SLASHED HIS FACE. Almost Another 3Iiirder in Topeka Last Xisht. BONDS SELL WELL. St. Ixuis Concern Gets Securities. Philippine Washington, March 10. The Mer cantile Trust company of St. Louis was the highest bidder today for the $2, 500.000 issue of 10-30 4 per cent. Phil ippine works bonds.

The record of January, 1S05, in which manufacturers' materials actually formed more than one-half of the total entries at Ajnerlcan ports, is a very unusual one, through the share which manufacturers' materials are forming of our imports is steadily increasing. In 1850 manufacturers' materials formed about 16.6 per cent of the total imports, by 1S50 they formed about 2S.2 per cent; In 1870, a like proportion: in 1S80, 37 per cent; in 1900, 45 per cent; in the fiscal year 1904, 45 per cent; in the seven months ending with January, 1905, 45.S per cent, and in the single month of January, 50.1 per cent. The imports of raw silk during the month of Janu ary were valued at $3,637,727, against $3,S4S,022 in January of last year, indi cating a greatly increased activity in the silk manufacturing industry, and this is apparently sustained by the fact that the quantity of raw silk im ported in the seven months ending with January is given by the bureau of sta tistics' report at 11,190,671 pounds, against 6.673.052 pounds in the corres ponding months of last year. Of wool, the importations in the month of Janu ary, 1905, were 25 million pounds, against 10 millions in January, 1904. and in the seven months ending with January, 1905, are 109 million pounds, against S2 millions in the corresponding months of last year. Of fibers, the importations in the seven months ending with January are valued at $20,699,313, against $21, 370,769 in the corrspondlng months of last year. Of India rubber, the im ports in the ffven months ending with Jf.nuary. 1905. are valued at $26,447,717, r.gainst $20,890,961 in the same months of last year; and of hides and skins, the imports of the seven months end ing with January, 1903. are valued at $34,439,263, against $27,708,316 in tne cor responding months of last year. On tin. in pigs, bars, blocks, etc., the im ports of the seven months ending Jan uary were 43,621,612 pounds, against 39,714.841 pounds in the corresponding months of last year, while for the Fingle month of January, 1905, the total was $5,179,PS3 pounds, against 4.677,339 pounds in January of last year. J.VniAWKEK .TOTS. Wouldn't it be funny if the Santa' Fe road should get huffy and refuse to honor passes. For once Lawrence has scooped the rest of the state: Mrs. Easter arrived there this week. A glance at the Topeka election re turns shows that several politicians with bees in their bonnets got stung. Lindsborg has voted for water and lights. There are times when both are necessary and often when neither are ased. ; The McPherson ordinance says chick Ins shall be kept up from March 1 un- 11 November X.

Address T. L. KING, C. P. & T. A., Topeka. "A dose in time saves lives." Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup: nature's remedv for coughs, colds, pulmonary diseases of ev ery sort. A cutting scrape that just missed being another murder by a hair's breadth, occurred on Thursday night north of the city on the new double track g'-ade being built by the Union Pacific railway to Kansas City. Laurence Kubitscheck, a 20-year- old white boy, wandered into the Union Pacific depot in North Topeka about 8 o'clock, and meeting Officer PareeHs, told him that 'he had b?en attacked by two negroes with a knife about an hour before. On the left side of his face was a long gash of about five inches running from the temple to the neck. On the right temple was a large lump. One eye was almost swollen shut. His left hand was hacked. His coat had large cuts over the front and left side, where the attempt had been made to slash him. The patrol wagon was called and he was taken to the police station where Dr. Storrs attended him. When asked to tell how he had been injured, he said: "I eot on a train out on the works to ride MP to a place where another train was standing. In jumping off I struck a ne;ro in the head with my foot. I didn't see him at all. He began to abuse "me and I smashed him with my flst and knock ed him down the hill. He drew his knife and camC at me. I tried to get away, but fell over a grade stake. He jumped on me and cut me on my face and hand. He tried to stab me in the side and would have killed me, I sup pose, if his knife had not been so dull. Another negro came to his assistance and beat me with a club." Upon Kubitscheck's description of his assailants, the police arrested Al bert Matthews, a 13-year-old colored boy, about three hours later, and Kubitscheck identified him as the per son who had assaulted him. The other negro could not be found. Kubitscheck says that his home is in Salina, and that he has been cooking at one of the gradinj camps last three weeks. 1 ' for the TALK IT OVER WITH WILSON.
