in A VERY LOUD VOICE.
The Shawnee Democratic Club
Denounces U. s. Senators.
A SEVERE SCORING GIVEN THEM
For Their TempOrizIng and COmPrO-
missing Policy the Tariff BILL

For Their TempOrixIng and COmprO-
missing Policy ON the Tariff Bill
The Shawnee Democratic Club at its
regular meeting last night, adopted a
long series of resolutions denouncing the
tariff manipulators of their party which
shows what Kansas Democrats think of
their party as Representatives of the
people.
The resolutions contain the following:
Whereas, 1t 10 generally reported IN
the newspapers, and seems nowhere to
be denied, that one Arthur 7. German.
who represents. or rather misrepresents,
the people of Maryland in the United
States senate, with what now appears to
have been a design to entrap the tariff
reformers of the senate, and prevent any
tariff legislation at this session, did on
the first of this month, cause a caucus of
the Democrats of the senate to be held,
in which it was stated that in order to
insure the prompt passage of tariff re-
form bill, it would be necessary for the
Democrats to refrain from Offering any
amendments to the bill, from that time
on, and to support any and all amend
ments that might be proposed by the
finance committee without question,
which amendments would be slight and
not change the essential character of the
bill. and
Whereas, The said resolution was then
and there passed by the said caucus
binding the Democrats to such action
under the belief so falsely induced by
Senator German and his coconspirators
against tariff reform; and
Whereas, After the passage of the
said resoiutian, certain so-caIIed Demo-
cratic senators. namely, Senators Cor
man, Hill, Murphy, Brice, Smith, Irby
and Jones of Arkansas, caused more
than four hundred amendments to be
made to the tariff bill through the
finance committee, thus completely
changing it from a tariff reform meas
ure 10 one essentially protective in its
nature; now therefore
Resolved, That the members of the
Shawnee club denounce the said sena-
tors and all others who shall attempt or
prevent the speedy passage of the tariff
reform bill, traitors to the Democratic
party and the consumers of this country,
and worther only to have their names
written along side of that arch traitor
Benedict Arnold; and that we confident
ly call upon our Democratic senator,
the Hon. John Martin to do all in his
power to prevent the contamination of
this Ubiquitous treachery to the Demo
cratic party and the people of this coun-
try
The club elected the following new o.
ficers last night: President, w. A. shy
der; Vice President. Eugene Wolfe; Cor
responding Secretary. J. Max Claudy;
Recording Secretary, John Hovendon;
Treasurer, d. z. Elliott; Trustee, L. A.

TEN THOUSAND PEOPLE
In RingIings' Tent Tvvice at Yesterdays
Performances.

Performances.
Alf. T. Rineling says his main circus
tent seats 10000 people easily. If this
is true nearly half Of Topeka's popula-
ton must have witnessed one Of the two
performances; for at neither one were
there more than 500 vacant seats. Tie
packed tent showed Topeka's apprecia-
ton for a first class performance, for
Riuglings' in its line is the least objec-
tionable of any attraction. The perform
ance was an enjoyable one for the per-
formers did their parts well. the horses
were we'll trained, the band was above
the average and the clowns were not
very tiresome. One of them said to d
donkey, @'If you don't get up I'll knock
you down."
The man who announces the after-con-
cert stole march on the Topeka people
and prevented their observing the old
time honored custom of applauding him
into silence or humiliatihg retreat to the
dressing room. He didn't let the au-
dience know he was announcing the con-
cert until he was done. The only safe
way, it seems, is not to allow him to an
nounce anything at all. What do people
doing the circus and having a lark, care
for announcements, indeed.

THE FEVER Is BROKEN.


Chairman Simpson says Kansas Is Well
Over the PopuIlst Craze.
Mr. J. Nj. Simpson of Mcpherson,
chairman of the Republican state CEN
trail committee, is in the city. He is in
good spirits and is satisfied that the Re
publicans will sweep the state this fall
He said to JOURNAL reporter:
"The Republicans of the state are
quite confident. There is evidence on
all sides of a change in sentiment toward
the Repu blican party. The failure of
the Populists to accomplish any of the
reforms promised by their platforms and
their leaders, has discouraged the rank
and file of that party, while the Demo
Gratis have become thoroughly Disguised
with being classed as assistant Populists.
"To those in. closest touch with the
sentiment of the state it appears certain
that the fever is broken and that Kansas
is herself again. The people realize
that under Republican administration no
soldier ever visited the pension office
with fear and trembling and no honest
laborer was turned upon the highway"
"What do you think will be the politi-
cal effect of the Coxey movement" was
asked.
well that is delicate subject No
one can tell what the result will be or
where the movement will end The
Populists hoped to receive strength from
the movement but / think they are disap-
pointed and it is difficult to tell which, if
any, party will receive any benefit"

Only Eight Present.
Eight o'clock, and not a single doctor
in sight Eight thirty and only eight
doctors present. Such was the state of
affairs at 1913 Kansas avenue, last even

1t was the regular meeting night of
the Topeka Academy of Medicine and
Surgery, but the circus had a greater at
traction for many of the doctors than the
society.
The faithful ones were Doctors Reid

There was only one paper to be dis

the programme for a paper on "Neuritis,'
but as he failed to appear, there was
nothing done. Doctors Lindsay, East

discussion on the paper, but DIR. McCrea
was the only one present 'Neuritisr is

inflammation of the nerves.

THE WAR ON QUACKS.
A Convention of Kansas Doctors Assem-
bIes Today to Propose Legislation.

A Convention of Kansas Doctors Assem-
bIes Today to Propose Legislation.
The convention called by DR.. Dykes of
the state board of health to consider
changes in the laws governing the prac-
tice of medicine, assembled today at 3
p. m. in representative hall. The main
object of the doctors is to stop quacks
from practicing in Kansas.
They will recommend the enactment
of the Illinois law governing practicing
physicians. This law provides that the
state board of health shall conduct ex-
aminations for physicians who-desire to
practice and if satisfactory showing is
made certificate is issued by the board
granting the applicant the right to prac-
tice. When diploma is held, it must
be submitted to the board for verification
and if found satisfactory a certificate is
issued. The county clerk of each county
keeps a record of the certificates which
is open to inspection.
The law provides a penalty of 800
for the first offense and 5000 for the
second.
The convention will also recommend
changes in the law governing the sale of
patent medicines. A law requiring the
publication of all the ingredients of
patent medicines on the label will prob
ably be recommended.

SARATOGA, n. Y, May 15.-The general
assembly of the Presbyterian church of
the north opens here today and will con-
tinue for four days. 1t will be the
eighteenth annual meeting and unlike
the Albany synod two years ago at which
the Briggs element was in the ascendency
this convention will be anti Briggs in
the ratio of about four to one. The lines
to the convention will be clearly drawn
on this issue and Il test of the strength of
the factions will be made when d modera-
tor is elected on Thursday. The candidates
will be Arthur B. Rowan, d. D., of Port
land, Ore, for the Briggs side; Henry G.
MintOn, ID. D., of San Francisco, Samuel
A MutchmOre, ID. d.. of Philadelphia.
Col John NJ. Cook of New York city and
James Gardner, d. D., of Gloversville. n.
Y, for the anti Briggs men.
Topics that will come before the con-
vention for discussion may be named
briefly as follows: Proposition to SO
frame the charters of theological semin-
aries that they cannot, like the Union
theological, divorce themselves from the
assembly. The list of seminaries in
volved includes Princeton, Mccormick
of Chicago, Auburn of New York
state and Lane of Cincinnati. These
institutions possess large endowments
and are in receipt yearly of fresh gifts,
all of which come from Presbyterian
sources and are held to be used for de-
nominatiOnal purposes.
The appeal of Henry Preserved Smith,
charged with heresy in his relation to
the Briggs case. is an inquiry
as to DR.. Briggs conduct since
his suspension and motion to depose
him from the ministry; the question of
consolidation of the Presbyterian and
Episcopal churches aud also the ten fed
erations of Presbyterians; proposition for
a new method of Sunday school teach
ing in contravention to the Westminster
catechism; discussion of the circular is
sued by the Briggs adherents and which

wICHITA's SENSATION.

Mother of an Abandoned Child belongs
One of it, Best Families.
WICHITA, Kans., May 15.-The whole
city is getting into fever of speculation
regarding the identity of the masked
woman who called herself Gertrude
Ashbaugh, and claims TO be the mother
of an abandoned child now in the chill
dren's home, where it was placed by the
police.
Emma Cobb. a keeper of a lying-in
hospital, left the child on a door step
sorae days ago, and at her preliminary
hearing for abandonment Gertrude Ash
baugh appeard in court and positively
declined, when on the witness stand, to
raise her veil mask.
The masked woman" came into the
district court again today to get posses
ceedings, and this time County Attorney
Boone, who before had insisted upon the
removal of the mask, now joins with the
mysterious woman's counsel in endeav-
oring to shield her identity.
Chief of Police Cone aud his detec-
tives were anxious, apparently 10 un-
ravel the mystery, and today they forced
open the door of the county at orney's
Office and found two women, both masked
and heavily yelled, in the room.
The disguised women were hurried to
the police station, but on discovering
their identity Chief Cone had then
mysteriously conveyed to their home
and he refuses to say who they are, eX-
cept that they are mother and daughter,
and belong to one of the best families ma
