NO MORE BONDS.
Kansas Alliance Men Want to Stop the Gre
alton of Municipal Debts.

Kansas Alliance Men Want to Stop the Gre
alton of Municipal Debts. s
TOPEKA, Jan. 24-One of the important
questions to be brought before the Legislature
is that of prohibiting the further incumbrance
of townships and cities by voting bonds. The
Alliance has taken the ground that there ought
to be constitutional prohibition of all mu-
nicipal bond voting.
While there is no disposition to repudiate
outstanding obligations of this kind, the lead
ing Alliance representatives believe that
municipal bonds can be not only
very properly refunded in longtime
bonds bearing lower rates of interest,
but that in refunding the bonds should be
drawn to run different lengths of time-say 80,
81 81 36. 3S 10 years. more or less, as circum-
stances render most expedient and pracrlcable.
The object being: Q) 1nducement to the bond
holder by giving him a longer interest bearing
period: (2) to secure much larger amount of
taxable property in the municipality before
paw day comes. so that the burden will be
lighter on individual taxpayers: and (S) SO that
payment may be spread over period of years,
making il less burdensome, and this plan will
render the sinking fund quite unnecessary. a
sinking fund is dead capital where it can not be
put out a interest. Whatever action is taken
on the bond question it is thought it will be
along the above line.

NO PROOF NEEDED.
Statements Added as a Matter Of
Form
TO PRESERVE THE SERIES.

Not that 1t is needed as a matter of evidence
is this testimony given. For it is not needed.
Evidence superabundant, accumulative, over
whelming. beyond all possible peradventure,
convincing all. and yet adding tangible proof
TO proof unquesripnable. has appeared for years
past inan Unprecedented an unbrok en- series.
With such evidence, so available. so easily
verified and scrutinized, so great in volume and
extending over so long a space of time, no Jury
could bring in but one verdict. no community
could form but one opinion. The burden OF
that verdict and that opinion would be that, in
the successful treatment of troubles of this
kind. DIR. Copeland remains without an equal
in the profession, and that the record of bis
numberless and remarkable cures Is without
precedent in medical annals.
AS has been said, this chapter IS not added
because it is needed as a matter OF proof. But
ever since DIR. Copeland permanently estab-
lished himself in PIttsburg there has appeared
each week in the daily papers the statement OF
patient who had been cured by him of some
obstinate and longstandinG trouble. .TneSo
statements have been made by ladies and gem
tlemen well.knOwn in the community or in the
neigh borhOods IN which they lived, and have,
In every case, been accompanied by the pors
trait and full address of the person speaking,
so as to have no possible question as to their
genuneness and reliability. Such series
challenges scrutiny and sIlences criticism. !.
Not for additional proof, but for the sake OF
keeping that notable and remarkable series unl
broken in its regularity are new cases and
statements added each week, as this one Is to-
day. y

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DTsPArcH.t
FREEDOM, Jan. 24-Mrs. Ed Carr, Of
this place, took good-sized dose of laudanum
this morning with the supposed purpose of
committing suicide on account of the deser-
tion of her husband. Mr.. Carr is Catholic.
Some time in last August the couple were
married by Rev. Joseph Bansmau. pastor of
the Presbyterian church, of Rochester, and
went to live in st. Clair, a continuation of
this place. They remained there until about
three weeks ago, when they came here to
live with the family of William Basher,
butcher, whose wife:is sister OF Mrs. Carr.
Within the last month Carr's friends, it
is alleged, have kept telling him that him.
self and wife were, from the church stand
point, Illegally married, the ceremony hav-
ing been performed by Protestant minister.
This wrought upon him, and he began to insist
upon having a second ceremony by priest.
To this his wife would not consent. About
three weeks ago he left her and went to Pitts
burg to y brother-in-law, Jacob Fuchs, who
has wallpaper store on the Southside. Dur
ing the first week of his absence letters came
frequently and then he ceased to write.
Carr's wife beganto fret, and finally sent
Mr.: Basher to look for him. The latter went
to tuchS place, but was informed that Carr
had left there. He returned, reported and
next morning the wife went herself in quest OF
the truant husband. whom she found eating
his breakfast at Fuchs. She pleaded with
him to return, but he remained Obstinate She
stayed with him all day, and on the last even
ing train the couple returned here to Basher's.
he insisted daily that he would again leave her
unless she agreed to remarriage, but she
steadfastly refused.
Last night Mrs. Basher, her sister. sent across
the street to Crafg's drugstore for a small viol
of laudanum, for toothache, she said. Of this
Mrs. Carr, unobseryed by any but her hus-
band. took small dose, which, however, did
her no harm.
This morning the husband announced his in
tentlon of returning to Pittsburg. His wife
thereon became very much excited, and going
into another room, took a large dose OF the
laudanum. Carr got the bottle from her and
started for Rochester, leaving the viol with
DR.. Craig. His wife became apparently almost
crazed. She demanded that her Drother-in-
law telephone to Rochester to have him
stopped. Presently the opiate began to work
and she lay down upon bed and became un-
conscious DR.. Craig went over and applied the
proper remedies, and tonight said that she
would recover.
Mrs. Carr Is a rather handsome woman and
the married relations of herself and husband
are said to have been of the happIest nature.

NEW YORK, Jan. A.-Tnere is still hope of
getting on professional foot race in this CITY,
and that is by bringing over w. G. George,
she great English record holder. He has sigui-
fed his willingness, and yesterday Kennedy
clbled to Georg- w. Atkinson, Richard X.
F0x's representative IN London, that Darrn
would run George, but would not allow any
expenses. Kennedy also proposed a sweepstake

Conn; Peter Priddy. of Pittsburg; Miles STRAIT
ton. OF Saratoga; William McClelland, of Pitts
burg; Lon Myers. of New York: Ed Nikirk, of
PiJtSburC; John Case. of Canada. and Darrin.
steve Farrell writes the Sun from Rockville
Conn.,, that his race with Darrin was nos pre-
arranged. but that he was beaten fairly. He
says: II 60 not wish to 60 into details and
claim that / was not in condition, and make ex-
cuscs such 4 whipped fighter. Darrin was a
better man than myself that day, bu: since
thcu think 1 can make a better showing, and
wnIld like another chance at him or any man
in the world AZ any distance from 800 yards to
half mile" He is very bitter toward Myers,
when he refers to rs "a newspaper champion
who will never run anyone where his -reput;l-
ton is likely to be spoiled"

this wise: One turned on the gas while the
other applied the light The one who did the
turning opened the valva as RAPIDLY as he could.

Thurman, of the American Baseball Asso-
citation, returned from:the big meeting in
New York this morning. In an interview
he saws;
1.-The new board of baseball associations is a
revelation in baseball circles. tits supreme
in all matters. They do the work formerly
done by the heads of three associations, but
have greater power than ever before vested.
They have charge of players, umpires,
scorers, in fact every thing. The umpires and
scorers will be appointed by the board, the
associations individually having nothing to do
in the ematter.
president Nick Young of the League, who
will be Secretary of the board. will have charge
of the officials mentioned. They will be ap-
pointed by him and be directly under his con-
troll, and will, of course be on salary. The
plan of having the scorers responsible to one
man will secure uniformity and justice to all
concerned. A scorer may be lined or sus-
pended in case his action demands such dlscl-
pline. In case the minor leaG ue Under the pro-
lection of the national agreement so request
Mr.. Young may appoint and have control OF
these umpres and scorers.ln the major as
sociatiuns there will be 10 umplres,
four regular and one substitute for each. They
may be transferred from one association to an
other if it be deemed best The League OBJ
jected to the umpires being taken from their
control but as their men are under President
Young who also has charge of the others, they
are subject substantially to the same govern
ment as the OTHERS The board will meet some
time between February /, when the agreement
goes into effect and February g. when all sur
plus players pass into their CONTROL -.-.
Mr.. Thurman could not say where the meet
ing would be held, or the exact date. In
speaking of the circuit as announced, and the
reports of probable failure of the Chicago club
10 materiaiize he said: "The circuit will be in
the West Columbus, Louisville, St. Louis and
Chicago, and in the East Baltimore, Phila-
delphia. Washington and Boston" 1t is under
stood Indirectly from good authority, that
Elton Chamberlain, the Columbus pitcher,
will be one of the first to feel the power of the
new Board, and that Baldwin was signed in
anticipation of this action. 1t is claimed that
Chamberlain is to be suspended, on account of
some transactions IN which he has been con-
cerned. The Board intend to do all in their
power to elevate the game and to see that
genilemanly conduct is the rule both on and
off the field.

Fitzsimrnons and Choynski.

HSan Francisco folks seem to have settled it
to their own satisfaction that Bob Fitzsim-
mons next opponent will be Joe Choynski. the
Cdli ornIap who gave Jim Corbett such hard
fights before he succumbed to the latter's su-
perior science.
Choynski is big and strong and fights at l7o or
I75 pounds, and he is a terrific hitter, as hard
as any man in the business. with the exception
of Sullivan. 1t II more than probable, though.
thar Carroll who is exceedingly shrewd, will
not permit the New ZeaIander to fight outside
his class Besides. Fitzsimmons is under con-,
tract to appear in different countries under the
management of Parson Davies for some time
to come. Therefore. the chances for meeting
between Fitzsimmons and Choynski in the i'm
mediate future are very remote.
