A NEW CURE.

kauseaUing.

SAX FR17cIsco, CAL, March Ex-senator
James Fair, the father of Mrs Herman Gel
richs, and perhaps the richest man on the
Pacific coast, has two sons. james, jr., and
Charles. who have been, to put it mildly,
very wild boys
When James, jr., came out two months
ago from the German hospital, where he had
been seriously i'll on account of excessive
drinking, some friends talked TO him of DR..
Brown, the hypnotist, who was said to have
performed wonders with an opium taker,
and after great deal of persuasion he was
induced to pay the hypnotist visit.
Brown knew his man, and he exercised his
will power upon the palate of the heir appar-
ent 20 millions. He was kept under the
hypnotic influence for several hours, and
when he was brought back to conscious
state he was told by the healer to 60 and
drink no more.
The admonition was unnecessary. He
could not drink. He made vigorous effort
but failed. The liquor acted on him as an
emetic.
That was six weeks ago and he has not
tasted drop since. Before this he had to
be put to bed five nights out OF seven.
Young Fair then took his younger brother,
Charles, to Brown and he, too, was put un-
der the spell. In his case it also worked like
a charm, and he developed an intense dislike
for liquor. He told reporter that so sick
of liquor is he that the swinging doors of q
saloon fairly nauseats him.
There is no happier man on'the COST than
Senator Fair.

The New Rsflroad Commissioners.

TOPEKA, KAN.-The state executive coun-
ell met in annual session in the office of the
secretary of state for the purpose of electing
a railroad commissioner to succeed Judge
James Humphrey, whose third term in that
position expires April 1.
There were several candidates for the COM
missionership, but when it came to the cleo
ton but two opponents to Judge Humphrey
were in the race. On the first ballot James
Humphrey received two votes, William NJ.
Mitchell, of Newton, former Santa Fe con-
ductor, 3 votes, and Tully Scott, of Oberlin,
l vote.
The second ballot stood: Humphrey l.,
Mitchell 4. Scott 1.
On the third ballot the entire six votes of
the council we're cast for Mitchell and he was
declared elected.
The law is such that Judge Humphreys
successor could not be a republican and the
candidates we're all either democrats or ALI
ance men.
Perry B. Maxson, of Emporia, was en-
dorsed by the Lyon county alliance. Gen.
eral W. d. Bradshaw, of Ottawa, formerly
travelling freis agent of the Missouri Paci-
fic, was endorsed by the alliance at large;
while William NJ. Mitchell, a practical rail
road man and democrat, was not only en-
dorsed by all the prominent democrats IN
the state, but was also endorsed by the legis-
Iatiye board of the Confederation of Railway
Employees, who we're in session here early in
January, and since the adjournment of the
board petitions endorsing Mr.. Mitchell have
been rolling into the secretary of states
office, until their are now over 1900 railway
employees of Kansas whose names are his en-
dorsement.
Attorney General Ives, in speaking of the
election, said: ga better choice could not
be made. l am well acquainted with Mr..
Mitchell, and he Is practical railroad man,
endorsed not by any of the railroad compa-
MES, but by LOO employees. He is about SO
or 40 years of age, and is a self-made man.
His experience in railroad matters has been
large and varied, and he will make an excel
lent commissioner"
Ex-Governor Anthony is the only member
of the board in the city. He SAID: 81 do not
know Mr.. Mitchell, and do not know that 1
have ever seen him. We need practical rail-
road men on the board"
Judge Humphrey and Al. Greene were
both west at work connected with the seed
grain distribution, and were, at the time,
snowbound.

piled that Judge Horton, of Massachusetts,,
who for some time has been investigating
the case, having been sent out as special
agent from the department. of justice, would
very soon send in his final report Il Is
thought likely that the attorney general viii
be able to reach decision within ten days.
The documents received from Judge Hor-
ton so far in the matter, clearly indicate that
he will recommend that the prosecution be
discontinued and the cases dismissed. It il
said his Recommendation in the matter, based
upon an investigation, will have great weight
with the attorney general, and is considered
by no means a prophesy to say that the at
tOrney general will recommend the district
court to dismiss the cases, and that he win
comply with the Recommendation there Ia
no doubt.

American Millionaire. Gambling.

LONDON, March 26.-Among the big play
ers at Monte Carlo the past two weeks was
William &. Vanderbilt, of New York.
Luck was with him, as it always is with
man who has ample capital and can afford to
plunge. 1t is said that Mr.. Vanderbilt
adopted the play of the Prince of Wales.
There are several other Americans who
took big hand in the game.
Henry Rosenfeld, a Chicago youth, who
won $4,000 francs on the almost unprece-
dented event of run of II four times in
succession, in each of which instance he
PLAYED the banks maximum of Il, 600 francs,

weekly review of trade says:
If no news is good news, as concerns the
condition of business at this season, the out
look is fairly satisfactory. Trade has been
rather quiet and hesitatinG, as is natural at
this season, and there is rather more coD-
plant of slow collections, but throughout the
northwest bad weather and the bad state of
country roads supply an ex explanation.
Money is in fair and increasing supply.
The outlook for the coming crops continues
unexceptionally good. 1t has been week
of unhealthy speculation in some products,
owing to desperate efforts of powerful COM
binations to force prices on which they can
unload without loss. The general average
of prices reached its highest point this year
on Monday, and though now a fraction lower,
Is still l per cent. above last week. But
manufactured products do not share in the
advance, except in few cases. The IRON
market has a better tone.
At Boston money is easy and trade dull,
because of the weather. At Chicago sales
exceed last years for the same week, aud re-
ceiprs of wool considerably increased, while
there is q decrease of flour and lard and
decrease of one-half In dressed beef. At
other northwestern points trade is far.

Der 256, as compared with a total of 275 last

the figures were 43.

VIII Get There by Some Route.

CHICAGO, March 2S-Those states in which
the legislatures have failed to make worlds
fair appropriations do not intend to be left
out of the general exposition movement
Their state boards of agriculture and other
associations have taken up the matter and
are working for popular contributions.
The department of agriculture is IN receipt
OF numerous letters from these states.
X. L. helb. commissioner of the depart
ment of agriculture of Alabama, writes that.
although the state failed to make an appro-
priatlon, the people will see to it that Ala
bama is well represented at the exposition
convention will soon be called, such cities
as Birmingham, Mobile and Montgomery
taking the lead, to consider the question.
and there is no doubt, he says, that $lOO,UOO
will be raised for this purpose.
Ill. Mohler, secretary OF the state board OF
agriculture Of Kansas. writes that Kansas
will 'get there with both feet" His board
thinks of organizing a joint stock associa-
ton with $4,000 capital for the purpose of
providing an exhibit. In the meanwhile A.
W. Smith president of the board. has issued
a call for an industrial convention to take the
necessary action.
c. L. Downey, secretary of the South Da-
kota state fair, writes that the president OF
his organization will, at an early day, convene
his executive committee with view of start
ing a movement for providing an exhibit.
p. S. Coil, secretary of the Connecticut
board of agriculture, writes, ascribing the
inaction of the legislature to parliamentary
muddle and saying that the board is matur-
ing plans to secure an exhibit without an ap-
preparation.
N F. Locke, commissioner of the mining.
manufacturing and agricultural bureau of
Arkansas, writes that if no appropriation
should be made by the legislature he feels
certain thSt an exhibit will be provided by
the public spirit of the people.

food, but with difficulty. A snow plow was
started out, but as fast as it cleared path
way the snow drifted In behind it and the
attempt was abandoned, leaving the snow
engine to die in the drift.
superintendent Rathburn says it is the
greatest snowstorm the road has experienced
in ten years.
A dispatch from Wichita says that Frisco
passenger train is stuck in drift near Bent
ley, and near Ellswortha Union Pacific train

There is bound be to considerable loss of
stock unless the snow disappears rapidly.
AT Norton the snow interfered with the
NJ. T. conference, the bishop and half the
conference being delayed.
At Garden City the ground is covered to
the depth of two feet, and it is a reminder of
the blizzard of January, 1886, the only diff
terence being that the weather is several de-
grees warmer. Cattlemen are short on feed,
and stock is in bad condition, but the loss
will be light. The Saata Fe track is block
AIDED and several trains are snowbound be-
tween this point and Dodge City east and
between here and Syracuse west. Garden
City has had no mail for two days and no
trains either from the east or west will arrive
until tomorrow and probably not till Sat
urday.
Reports from all sections of Nebraska
show that the storm was very severe. In the
southern part of the state the snow is re-
ported to be from eighteen to twenty inches
deep on a level and drifting badly. The
storm was almost a blizzard in the north
western part of the state. Colonel Guy V.
Henry and four troops of the Ninth cavalry
reached Fort Robinson this afternoon from
Pine Ridge. Many troopers were snowbound
and exhausted from the long march during
the storm. Railroad traffic is badly delayed,
the most trouble being on the Burlington.

What Is Better Than II Good Name.

NEw YORK, March 3O.-The funeral of
Charles F. Chickering, the famous piano
maker, took place at his residence, No. 5
Fifth avenue, and the funeral was delayed
for the arrival of absent relatives.
Mr.. Chickering was noted for his upright
ness of character.
A good illustration of his honesty is found
in the case of the Miser Paine, who, while
dlstrusting all the world, did not hesitate to
deposit his hoardIngs in the care of Mr..
Chickering, never asking for a receipt.
Finally Paine died, and then. to the surprise
of every one, the veteran piano dealer an
nounced that he had no less sum than
100000 lying in his safe, which had been
left in his care by the dead man. This sum
Mr.. Chickering. who might have kept every
penny of it without any one being the wiser,
turned over intact to the miser's astonished
heirs. Such was the man.

revolutionary party hold twenty-six men-of-
war and steam vessels of different classes,
while the government retains only two, the
Imperial and the Cousino. The Valparaiso
Commerce. reported on February u this:
yesterday the important capture was made
of the rebel, A. Edwards, who furnished the
rebel forces with money, ard who held ST.

The French steamship Vile De Belfast,
which arrived at IqUlque, reports that 500
killed and wounded we're the outcome of the
fights on the Tarapaca pampas.

fields will lead to the death of the tyrant and
to our rights being regained."
