Ovation to Mrs. Lease.

The Topeka meeting of the National ALI
ance drew large crowds to their open meet
ing. At their private meeting the commit
tees appointed made their reports, and dis
cussion was brisk all day long.
The greatest discussion was over the sub
ject of the demands of the alliance. Some
proposed that these be reduced to one-the
free coinage of silver. These, however, were
decidedly in the minority, and finally the
demands were adopted precisely as they were
at the session last year. The committee that
put them through was composed of J. A.
Gundy of Pennsylvania, l.. Leonard of Mis-
souri,, Henry E. Mccullough of Texas, I. E.
Dean of New York, and R. A. Southworth of
Colorado.
The women's meeting was largely attended.
Mrs. John G. Otis presided. The meeting
was under the auspices of the state alliance,
of which Mrs. Otis is president.
Mrs. Otis, after stating the motive of the
meeting, said:
''This is woman's century and 1894 is
woman's year in New York and Kansas"
She cited various mistakes that have been
made by national public servants and wound
up by affirming that if women had equal
rights with men the people would be pro-
tecteo from such injustice.
The presiding officer introduced Mrs.
Lease as MARY of Wichita, Brave Mary of
Young America"
When Mrs. Lease reached the stand she
was nearly buried with flowers, some of them
coming from distant cities.

ELECTIONS LAW.
The Senate Passes the House
Bill Unchanged,
Which Removes All Power to Control Con.
gressional Elections From tho Federal
Observation-Disclosures, Allen, Kyle
and PETER Vote Aye.

The bill repeating in toto all federal laws
regulating the control of congressional
elections, has passed both houses of con-
gress and only awaits the signature OF Presi-
dent Cleveland to become law. After sew.
eral weeks of discussion the senate finally
came to a vote on the house bill repeating
the federal elections law, and it passed by a
vote of 80 ayes to % nays.
Numerous amendments were presented
oy the republicans, but they were voted
down regularly and methodicaIly, the DEM
ocrats not even taking the trouble to join in
the debate on the amendatory propositions.
Senator Stewart, of Nevada, voted with
the democrats on every proposition, giving
as his reasons, that he thought the power of
the executive was already too great and that
the centralizing tendency of the age should
be checked at once if the republic is to
survive. The three populists, Senators Allen,
Kyle and PETER, also voted with the demo-
Gratis on every amendment, rs we'll as on the
main bill. The measure, as it passed the
senate, is identical with the bill as it passed
the house, no committee amendments hav-
ing been proposed.

sherifrs Get Their Commissions still.

TOPEKA, February 13.-The supreme court
has given an opinion in the case of j. NJ.
Wilkerson, sheriff of Shawnee county, vs.
the Belknap Savings bank, which decides
that sheriffs are untitled to commission on
execution sales. The syllabus is as follows:
Section q, chapter 100, session laws OF
1893, of the act concerning the "sale and re-
demption of real estate is without effect,
and. therefore, does not change the commits
sion of sheriffs upon the sale of real estate.
The reasons assigned for the decision ara
that the subject of costs introduced into the
statute by section q is entirely foreign to the
object of the act: that there is no reference
in the title to the sheriff's fees or commits
sions, and that the words prior creditor
renders the section void for uncertainty.
That the provisions of the act take effect
and begin to run at that point where the sale
hns been consummated so far as any regula-
ton of any of the things which enter into q
sale are concerned.
If the legislature had amended the act re-
lative to sheriff's fees or commissions pro-
viding that where real estate is bid in by or
for any lien holder or judgment creditor, the
sheriff should not receive any commission
on the sale, such an act would be clearly
constitutional.

Fsols Continue 10 Enter Nets.

FoRT SMITH, ARK, February 8.-Chief
Harris, of the Cherokee nation, is here in
conference with United States District At
torney James F. ReaG in regard to the eI-
tensive swindles upon the people of Texas,
Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois and nearly all
the southern states by interruptions attor-
neys of Arkansas and the territory, who are
sending circulars broadcast announcing that
any person who has a drop of Indian blood
in his veins can be admitted to citizenship
in the Indian territory in time to share in
the Sc, 0OO, 900 from the sale of Cherokee strip
bonds. To establish claims and perfect citi-
zenship good round fees are exacted from
the dupes. There are 1000 persons squat
ting on the territory and these are also send
ing out alluring announcements, offering to
sell the lands, to which they bear no title, to
any person who may make application.
The results of this two-fold swindle ID that
not only are letters pouring in from all
parts of the country, but farmers and home
seekers who hope to get share in the rich
Indian territory at nominal figure are
fockinR to the land.
District Attorney Read states that these
poor people stand not ghost of a show of
being admitted into Cherokee citizenship, for
even though they can show that they have
spoonful or two of Indian blood in their
veins, they can only be admitted by vote
of the Indian legislature. Chief Harris con-
frmed the statement of Mr.. Read.

ROYAL Buckwheats.

For generations it has been the custom to
mix the batter for buckwheat cakes with
yeast or emptyings, retaining a portion of
the batter left over from the morning to
raise the cake for the following day.
It kept too warm. or not used promptly,
this batter becomes exceedingly sour and OBJ
jectionable. Buckwh cakes raised by this
means are more often sour or heavy than
light and sweet. If eaten daily they distress
the stomach and cause the skin eruptions
and itching.
Instead of the old fashioned way we have
been making buckwheat cakes this winter
with Royal Baking Powder, mixing the bat
ter fresh daily, and find the result wonder
fully satisfactory. They are uniformly
light and sweet, more palatable and whole
some, and can be eaten continuously with.
out the slightest digestive inconvenience.
Besides they are mixed and baked in a mo-
ment, requiring no time to rise. Following
is the receipt used:
Two cups of pure buckwheat -four (not
prepared" or mixed one cup of wheat
-four, two tablespoons of Royal Baking Pow
der and one half teaspoonful of salt, ali sifted
we'll together. Mix with milk into thin bat
ter and bake at once on a hot griddle. Once
properly tested from this receipt, no other
buckwheat will find its way to your table.

CONSUMPTION SURELY CONQUERED.

Physicians Everywhere Are Now Curing
the Medical World is Convinced.
Enthusiastic reports from once hopeless
consumptives all over the land maze it GER
tain the cure discovered by Cincinnati sci
enlist is all that was claimed for it year or
so ago, when the New York Recorder awarded
him the diploma and 1000 prize it had Of
fered for treatment which would stay the
the ravages of consumption.
Even the most conservative medical jour-
mails now admit the marvellous results re-
ported by the thirty thousand physicians pre-
scribing Amick's medicines are not exagge-
rated.
The Doctor OF HYGIENE, of which DR.. Cy-
rus Edison, chief of the New York state board
of health, is the editor, says in its last issue
'We have delayed for something over q year
giving notice to the Amick treatment for
consumption because as the formula was not
given to the profession, time alone would
demonstrate whether it merited condemna-
ton or endorsement. With the evidence
which month after month has accumulated
we are obliged to admit the preponderance
of testimony favors DIR. Amick's claims, and
in the face of results reported from physi-
clans who, if anything, were rather disposed
against the treatment at the beginning, the
claims of the Cincinnati physician are shown
to have been in the bounds of truth and con-
servatism. He has from the first shown an
evidently sincere desire to have crucial and
impartial tests made of the treatment by all
physicians, and to this end he still distrib-
utes broadcast free test packages of his med
icines, each of which must represent quite
little money. All conscientious physicians
admit themselves powerless to cope with this
destroyer of life except with the Amick treat
ment and therefore feel bound to give it to
patients under their care, and the fact that
any person with lung trouble can obtain
sufficient of the medicines to show just what
they will do for each sufferer without cost
proves conclusively that DR.. Amick knows
the result will be favorable"

Business Improvement Plays
Hide and Seek.
Result of the Treasury Loan Not Flatterins
Industries Generally Resume, Yet
Actual Gain is Small-Wheat
Lower Than Ever.

New York, February 12.-R. g. DUN q
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Improvements in business still appear in
many directions, but it seems to be in part
balanced by loss in others. The gradual de-
cline which began some time ago, and was
strengthened little by the success of the
treasury loan, has scarcely answered expec-
tations.
Reports ct resumption of work continue
to indicate that the industries are doing
more than in December, and yet the record
of the actual gain is disappointingly small.
Crop reports were expected to cause a
great advance in wheat, but the price has
dropped to 6311s cents cash, the lowest point
ever known is this market, and at Chicago
May wheat has gone lower than ever.
The domestic trade does not materially
increase, exchanges indicating decline
compared with last year of 1875 per cent.
elsewhere aR 14.9 per cent in New York.
The failures for the week were 1886 IN the
United States, against 90 last year, and 60 in
Canada, against A last year, several being
of more than ordinary importance. Out of
2,188 commercial failures reported by tele-
graph in January, against 400 for the same
month last year, liabilities have been re-
ported for 2,2O6, amounting to S29, 1884, 28, OF
which $11, $50. 715 were of manufacturing
and ST., 234, 587 of trading concerns.

Argument was concluded in Denver BE-
fore Judges Hallett and Riner on the petit
lion of the Union Pacific receivers for the
adoption by this court of the new wage
schedule.
The judges gave decision in favor of the
employees, refusing to enter in the districts
Of Colorado and Wyoming the order made
by Judge Dundy at Omaha. They say:
at appears by the pleadings in this case
that prior to the appointment of the recelv-
ers, certain rules, regulations and schedules
we're in force, recognized and acted upon
by the employees and managers. Our own
view is if the receivers deem it advisable
and necessary to the proper and economical
management of the properties in their hands
that rules, regulations and schedules differ
EFT from those in force at the time the prop
efty came into their hands, should be adopt
ed, that the employees affected by any pro-
posed change be notified and be given time
and opportunity to point out to the receivers
any injustice which they think will be done
them, and If after such negotiation and con-
sultation the receivers and employees are un-
able to agree as to any proposed rules, reg
ulations, item or items of the wage sched-
ules proposed, that the matters of differ
ence be referred to the court for final deter
mination. If this course Is pursued the re-
suit, in our judgment, will be that after a
full consultation and discussion of these
matters between the receivers and employees,
meeting, as they will, in spirit of fairness
upon both sides, determined to do the right
thing under existing conditions, very little
will be left to the determination of the
courts in relation to this matter"

will Remain in ONCE.

Mrs. Lease said to reporter soon after
the decision in her favor by the supreme
court was made known:
81 had intended to resign my place on the
board as soon as this decision would be
handed down in my favor, as the salary con-
nscted with it is a mere pittance, but have
changed my mind and propose to hold my
place at all hazards. My reasons for chang
ing my mind are simply these: I am in
formed that it is the plan of the administra-
ton to bring charges against me for bribery.
I an: told that they will charge that &C
copied brides from the wholesale grocery
houses in the letting of the contracts for the
state institutions. Now, want to say all
such charges are false. and propose to hold
my place on the board and make them prove
any charges they may prefer"
