MRS. Lease ON Ton.

Mrs. Mary Lease won her case in the
supreme court of Kansas, which de-
cides that the governor cannot remove
her as member of the state board of
charities, of which board she remains
president. The court holds that Gov.
Lewelling had no authority to appoint
a successor to Mrs. Lease, who was
appointed for term of year and con-
firmed by the senate, unless charges
are preferred aud sustained, and that
j. w. Freedom, who has been sitting
with the board for several weeks, is a

Important papers and books giving the
returns of the elections of 1891 and
1898 in Wayne county. Mr.. May
stopped at the Downey house, and
while he was absent from his room
someone had entered. May had left the
door locked and the gas burning low,
but when he returned accompanied by
n reporter the door was wide open and
the gas burning high. Mr.. May saw
at a glance that something was wrong,
and soon found that someone had car
ried away the tally sheet of the re-
turns issued by the board of can
vassers, and signed by them, being the
identisal sheet upon which the figures
had been raised by the addition of
figure "ones," making the vote in each
instance 100 greater. This is the sheet
so often described iu the newspapers.
The book of official records of election
returns was mutilated, four pages be-
ing cut from the returns on the sala-
rles amendments for 1891, and the same
number of pages of returns of salaries
amendments for the year 1893.
The thief showed that he was ac-
quafnted with the nature of the book,
for he cut out only the portions that
he wanted, and the book is a compli-
Gated one. In his hurry, however, he
made a great mistake. He neglected
to take the package of original returns,
wrapped up in an old newspaper, with
the ends fastened with sealing wax,
which lay on the table beside the book.

wayne Eieet,on Returns Doctored.

Since the discovery of the falsifica-
ton of the lot election returns from
Gogebic county on the proposition to
increase the salaries of various state
officials and the consequent scandal
caused thereby, which has resulted in
Gov. Rich asking for the designations
of three prominent state officials and
the assembling of the grand jury of
Ingham county to investigate the mat
ter, the returns in Wayne county have
been examined. TO say the result is
startling is putting it mildly. 1t has
been found that in 1891 when an
amendment was submitted to increase
the salary of the encouragement, the
returns we're doctored so as to give
big ma ority for the amendment, the
actual figures having been raised over
I,400. In 1898 the same methods were
pursued ana the figures raised $500.
The method used was TO change the
vote of a number of districts by adding
700 TO the yea" column; thus: Ward
., district 4, returned vote of % yea
and nay upon the amendment; this
was altered by adding a figure 81"
making 1875 yea. 6 nay.
The prominent members of both
parties are very much wrought up over
Che outrage, and will dig to the bottom
TO discover the scoundrels who did the
dirty work.

Missouri: At st. Louis a 12 hours
storm left four inches of snow and
slush which turned to ice, practically
tying up all traffic for day. Almost
all wires were down. Several horses
were killed by live wires. Kansas City
experienced a blizzard which lasted "a
hours and 16 inches of snow fell. No
street ears were running. Railroad
traffic was simply paralyzed; there was
not wheel turning within so miles of
the city, numerous trains going out
and coming in were stalled and traffic
between Atchison, Kan, and Kansas
City was stopped for the first time in
10 years.
Kansas: The heaviest fall of snow
occurred in the eastern portion of the
state. Street car and railroad travel sus-
pended in the state. From Olathe,
comes news of the death by exposure
of A. NJ. Hansmere, of st. Louis. Not
less than two feet of snow fell at

it was 30 feet deep. Thousands of head

CONSUMPTION CURED.

Disease and the Medical World
Ia


Is Convinced.
Enthusiastic reports from once hope
less consumptives all over the land
make it certain the cure discovered by
a Cincinnati scientist is all that was
claimed for 1T year or so ago when
the New York Recorder awarded him
the diploma and 81 200 prize it had
offered for a treatment which would
stay the ravages of consumption.
Even the most conservative medical
journals now admit the marvellous re-
suits reported by the thirty thousand
physicians prescribing Amick's medi-
cines are not exaggerated.
1.-THE Doctor of Hygiene" of which
DIR. Cyrus Edison, chief of the New
York state board of health, is the
editor, says in its last issue: "We
have delayed for something over a year
giving notice TO the AIiick treatment
for consumption BECAUSE as the formula
was not given To the profession time
alone would demonstrate whether it
merited condemnation or endorsement.
With the evidence which month after
month had accumulated we are obliged
TO admit the preponderance of testi-
mony favors Dir. Amick's claims, and
in the face of results reported from
physicians who if anything were rather
disposed against the treatment at the
beginning, the claims of the Cincin-
natl physician are shown to have been
within the bounds of truth and con-
servatiGm. 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 distributes broadcast
free test packages of his medicines,
each of which must represent quite a
little money. All conscientious ply
sicians admit themselves powerless to
cope with this destroyer of life except
with the Amiclk treatment. and there
fore 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
DIR. Amick knows the result will be
favorable.

In Chicago: The blizzard was the
most severe that has visited Chicago
for many years. The wind reached as
high as Is miles an hour with the
coolest weather of the year. Great
snowdrifts blocked the streets; sub
urban trains and street cars were
snowbound. The wind rushed around
the downtown corners with terrific
force, carrying pedestrians off their
feet and injuring many. Lake Michi-
gan was dashed into a fury and the
waves rushed over the breakwater and
swept clear across the Illinois Central
railroad tracks into Lake Front park.
Business at the stock yards was prac-
tically suspended, and no buyers put in
an appearance.

and it came back after running some

OUTLOOK SERIOUS.

Black Hills Miners Inclined to Riot Over
Reduction of Wages.
DEADwOOD, S. D., Jan. 15.-Labor
troubles in the Black Hills are assuming
a serious phase. The riot of last week
when the union, miners attacked the la
borers on the works of the South Dakota
Mining company on Annie creek, was
the outgrowth of agitation of the wage
question. For many years the lowest
pay for men in the mines and mills has
been $3.50 per day. The Homestake
company, the largest producer of gold
in America, having grown tired of the
uncertainty which has surrounded the
labor question for some time past, de-
cided to settle the matter without any
further ceremony. The company mott
fed the miners union that it
Would Reduce Wages
to s. day or entirely suspend opera
lions in all the works and give the
miners a week to decide whether to
work on lower scale or remain in idle
ness for some months to come. It has
been known for some months that the
Homestake and auxiliary mines would
take such step at an early date, but
the labor organizations saw the matter
in a different light.
On the South Dakota Mining COM
pany's property the laborers were re-
ceiving but $3.50 per day for .sdirt'
work. This has greatly incensed the
miners, who hold that all work, dirt or
rock, should be paid for at the same
price. Matters between the Homestake
company, which employs some 1000
men, and the union are still pending.
