TOPEKA Kan. Nov. l6.-President
W. ;. Hanna. of Ottawa, has called the
seventh annual meeting of the Farmers
Alliance of Kansas. to be held at To-

Grench is sending out the notices to
subordinate alliances and making other
preliminary arrangements
An effort is making to revive the in
terest in the organization and to re-
store the large membership which it
once enjoyed. Political complications
have interfered with the work of the
state alliance to such an extent that
the membership has been greatly re-
duced. In Shawnee county the active
membership has dropped one-half; and
in some counties the organization has
been entirely suspended.
President Hanna says the alliance
has been misrepresentedi in political
way: that it has no part in politics and
was never intended to be anything
else than a farmers organization for
mutual benefit. The proposed reor-

HURT BY MISMANAGEMENT.
American Railroad Securities In Bad Odor
In Europe.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-Frank III.
Mason. United States consul-general
at Frankfort, in a special report
to the state department states
that American railway securities
have fallen into bad odor in Germany
and endeavors to point out the
reasons therefor and suggest meas
ures for rehabilitating them in
the financial world. He says that
in Frankfort, which was the first
European money market to accept
United States bonds during the dark
days of the civil war and where Ameri-
can investments had been popular. not
only are new securities refused because
of American origin, but railroad bonds
and stocks had for years been returned
to America and their proceeds invest
ed in less remunerative Prussian con-
soils and other standard securities
backed by government credit and
supervision.
The consul-general says: The cloud
which overshadows American railway
securities in Germany has been caused
mainly by the revelations of the past
two years concerning the management
of several leading railway properties.
German investors were heavy losers
and their losses served to call the at
tention of the people and press more
sharply than ever before to the usurpa
tons of power and evasions of respon-
sibilitv which. ii is claimed. have be-
come so frequent in American railway
management"

SMITHS REPORT.
The Paymaster- General Makes His Annual
Statement.


w AsHIyGTOy. Nov. 17.-Payn.aster
General Smith. in his annual report to
the secretary of war. calls attention to
the fact that the soldiers deposits have
increased s79.5s2 during the year. a
gratifying increase in view of the fact
that the deposits had been falling off
in preceding years, and of the further
fact that a soldier with a deposit ac-
count rarely leaves the service without
an HONORABLE discharge. The expend-
itures on account of the pay of the
army show an increase of S275,653 over
the preceding year, due. in part, to the
fact that the enlisted force was more
nearly kept at its maximum limit. The
fact that the expenditures on account
of pay of volunteers were 1893, $50 less
than last year is taken as an indication
that these claims are being exhausted.
The paymaster-general questions the
beneficial effects of the system of with
holding portion of the soldiers pay
until he is discharged. The travel al
lowance of the soldier is ample to take
him home when discharged and it is
purpose. Any system which makes the
soldier a dependent detracts from
his manhood and efficiency. Many men
enlist being told that their pay
will be Sl3 per month, only to find
that, through deductions on account
of clothing and withhold pay. two or
three months must elapse before he
can receive any pay. He regards this
as breach of contract and deserts.
Therefore. it is recommended that the
system. which is cumbersome, compli-
Gated and absolute. be abolished. 1t is
also recommended that there be but
one common pay chest for the army,
and that all disbursements be made
the bonded officers of the pay
corps. instead of being divided up be-
tween non-bonded disbursing officers,
who last year distributed half of the
army appropriations.

COURTS OF APPEAL.
Chief Justice Horton Suggests Them for
the Relief of the Kansas supreme Court.

Chief Justice Horton Suggests Them for
the Relief of the Kansas Supreme Court.
TOPEKA. Kan. Nov. 16.-In view of
the fact that the docket of the supreme
court is now about four years behind
and the delinquency increasing each
year, the proposition for the appoint
ment of commissioners to assist the
court in disposing of the accumulation
of business is being revived. 1t is I'M
derstood that Chief Justice Horton is
not favorable to the commissioner
system, for the reason that their
work must be reviewed to some extent
by the regular justices. hence very
little time is gained by the court.
Judge Horton believes that intermedi-
ate courts of appeal, one in eastern
Kansas and one in the western part OF
the state. would afford ample relief
and not be subject to any of the objec-
tions found in the case of commission
ers. The commissioners are not auth
orized by the constitution, and. in
reality. cannot decide cases ex-
cept upon the approval of the
court. but the court of appeals
could be established by law and
with two divisions. as suggested. the
work Of the supreme court would be
lightened and the interests of htigants
greatly promoted. Judge Horton sug-
gests that the court of appeals should
be limited in its civil jurisdiction to
cases involving sums under s., 900. and
that the jurisdiction should not extend
to constitutional cases or those involv-
ing land titles

Murder and Snicide.

CHICAGO, Nov. III. j. Higgings, an
electrician, shot and killed Mrs. Kate
Mclaughlin. his landlady. and after
ward shot himself in the head, dying
almost instantly. Higgings had roomed
at Mrs. McLaughlin's house for some
time, and falling behind with his rent
had been threatened with election.
Last night he called the woman into a
bedroom, and after a hard struggle
threw her to the floor and fired several
shots into her body. After killing the
woman Higgings left the house, but
returned and was standing on the side
walk in front of the house when he
heard the patrol wagon coming, and
rather than be arrested he sent bullet
through his head.

90 %

of all cases of consumption can, if taken in
the earlier stages of the disease, be cured.
This may seem like a bold assertion to
those familiar Only with the means gener-
ally in use for its treatment ; as, nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy enlulsions, extract
of malt, whiskey, different preparations of
hypophosphites and such like bdlliafis'es.
Although by many believed to be iucura-
BILE, there is the evidence of hundreds OF
living witnesses to the fact that i'll all its
earlier stages, consumption is durable
disease. Not every case, but a large per-
ceHfdoe Of cases, and we believe. fully oS
per cent are cured by DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, even after the disease
has progressed so far as to induce repeated
bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering
cough with copious expectorat1on (1nclud-
ing tubercular inatter), great loss of flesh
and extreme emaciation and weakness.
Do YOU doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported to us as cured by Golden Med
ical Discovery " were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease? You need not take
our word for it. They have, in nearly every
instance, been SO pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever IN mis-
representing them. and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
a trial of Golden Medical Discovery"
but who have been forced to confess that
it surpasses. in curative power over this
fatal malady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy cmulsions'' and
mixtures. had been tried III nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene-
fit, or had only seemed to benefit a little for
a short time. Extract OF malt. whiskey,
and various preparations of the hypophos-
phites had also been faithfully tried in vain
The photographs OF large number of
those cured of consumption, bronchitis
lingering coughs. asthma. chronic nasal
catarrh and kindred rlaladies. have been
skillfully reproduced in a book of 100
pages which will be mailed to you, on re-
