THE list stretches out of manufactur-
ing establishments that are voluntarily
raising the wages of employees to the old
scale or higher The latest is the Joliet
works of the Illinois Steel Company. To
this date over thousand establishments
have raised wages and restored to old
wage schedules, or to higher ones, more
than 100000 skilled workmen. This is
indisputable evidence of restored conf
dence and renewal of good times. On
the heels of it all comes the news that
certain calamity howlers are actively en-
gagged in preparing for another great
strike. But that they will succeed in the
face Of the lifting clouds is not thinkable.
THE experience of the people of Mid
dletown, Conn.,, seems to settle the ques
ton, "are sewer-fed oysters dangerous?"
The affirmative is the reply of the inves-
tigators. Is has been found that oysters
in waters into which the town sewage
empties are unfit for food. 1t had long
been supposed that the organism produc-
ing typhoid fever could not live in salt
water nor in sewage, but this is error, for
that in London sewage this organism is
active and virulent has been proved by
the psychologists. In not few places
sewage flow bathes oyster beds. and in
some cases oysters are planted near sew
age discharge to fatten them.
SAN FRANCISCO has a new election
commission. one that is wholly local. 1t
agement of the elections in the nietropo-

troll Of that city. if there will be repetition
of the shameful frauds and outrages that
have characterized elections in that city
in recent years. 1t remains to be seen if
ignorance will again fill the election
boards, and venality rule. and criminal
partisanship preside in the counting of
the ballots. The outlook is very hopeful
for radical reform under the new COM
mission, and we have much faith in it.

FOR CUBA'S FREEDOM.

The Meeting Tonigh: Will Recognize Her
Independence if Spain Does Not.
The meeting to discuss the advisability
of recognizing thu independence of Gu
ba will be held tonight at the court house
Eugene F.Ware will be one of the speak
ers and it is expected that Congressman
Charles Curtis will be there 10 tell the
people how he stands on the question,
though the readers of the JOURNAL al
ready know that Mr.. Curtis is strongly in
favor of the recognition of ''The Repub-
lie of Cuba"
The society of Sons of the Revolution
is taking great interest in the question
and last evening a meeting of the Tope-
ka society was held and very strong res
olutions passed.
The following extract will show the
position taken by the society:
owe believe it to be the privilege and
duty of the United States government to
recognize the rights of the Cuban revo-
lutionists as beliigerents as soon as pos
sible on being so requested by competent
Cuban authority, in accordance with the
international law. Such action of our
government we deem due to the Cubans
and to the cause of universal liberty.
while disavowing all bitterness of
feeling on our part toward the people of
Spain, we nevertheless believe that it is
our duty and privilege at this time, as
citizens of this free republic, thus o~ex-
press our heartfelt sympathy with our
Cuban neighbors, living upon an island
which nature has made a paradise. but
which the cruel methods of the Spanish
government have done much to despoil.
We respectfully urge our fellow citizens
throughout this country to assemble in
mass meetings, to diffuse information
and thus arouse or rather deepen the Gym
pathv OF our whole people with theCubans
in their heroic attempt to cast off the
yoke of oppression, and to achieve that
independence and freedom which are
the great highways to happiness and
pros peritv."

WON'TDESCEND DECEIT

Addlc-Pated simpIstons Can't Work the
Topeka Post Office.
Assistant Postmaster Wolfe saws that
one unacquainJed with the work of the
Topeka postoffice would be surprised at
some of the things that happen.
Scarcely a day passes in which letter
is not received from some one enclosed in
another with the request that it be
mailed at the Topeka postoffice. Of
course these letters are sent by people
who wish to make it appear that they
are in Topeka for some reason or anoth-
er. They are mostly silly people of one
sort or another, most of whom ought to
have a guardian.
This is very old game and the post
Office department has concluded that it
will not be party TO the deception and
people who send their letters to the post
master to be remailed 90 to the trouble
for nothing a1d do not mislead anyone,
either.
The rule is that all such letters must
be marked by the postmaster stating the
office from which they were received
and this is done before they are mailed at
the Topeka office SO that the person re-
ceiving the letter knows just where the
writer was when he mailed the letter to
the Topeka postmaster TO be remailed

Personal Notes Among shops and
Oniccs-And About Railroad En1-
piOyes.
The most important event looked for
ward to in western railway circles at the
present time is the election of the pres
ident of the reorgaaized Atchison, To-
peka & Santa Fe system. which takes
place Immediately after the sale of the
road on December TO-
d. B. Robinson, at present first vice
president and general agent of the re-
ceivers, and E I. Jeffrey, president of
the Denver s. Rio Grande are the two
possible candidates, and there is but little
doubt that the presidency will devolve
on one of these gentlemen.
II is conceded by all railroad officials
that if Mr.. Jeffrey is elected to the pres
idency numerous changes will be made
in the Management of the road the most
important of which it is rumored will
be the appointment of James c. Clarke
president of the Mobile s. Ohio railway,
TO succeed B. F. Yoakum as general man
ager of the Gull, Colorado 81 Santa Fe.
AIR Clarke is the father-in-law of Mr..
Jeffrey, and recently made tour of the
Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe system, and
on these facts the rumor is founded,
railway officials, Notwithstanding the
fact it is positively denied by Geo. Ssaiy,
second vice president of the Santa Fe
and an intimate friend of Mr. Jeffery
The Galveston News of October 9th
publishes an interview with prominent
official, presumably Mr.. Sealy, concern
ing the matter of Mr. Clsrke's appoint
ment, in which he makes the following
statements:
Not one of the officials of the Gulf,
Colorado S Santa Fe but pooh-pooh the
thought OF such change. In the first
place, the presidency of the Mobile s.
Ohio is much better position than that
he would occupy should he succeed Mr..
Yoakum. In the second place he is get
ting along in years-is over seventy
and has plenty of this world's
goods, Should he resign from his
present position it would probably be
to retire, as few men of his age.
experience, wealth and reputation
would start life again in new country.
1t is also a Unknown fact that MIR.
Yoakum stands high in the estimation of
the powers that be, and if any change
was to be made it would be a promotion,
Oae of the rumors, with much more
possibilities in the fulfllme is that
the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fs and
the ST. Louis and San Francisco are to
be consolidated and that Nj Yoakum
is to be second vice president and gene
raj manager of the consolidated lines
with headquarters in ST. Louis"
Very little is known concerning this
matter by the Santa Fe officials in this
city, but no importance is attached to
the rumor as it is the general belief here
that Mr.. Robinson will undoubtedly Sc
| cure the presidency.

WOMAN MARKETS CATTLE.
An Emporia Young Woman Takes Cattle
to Kansas City Personally

An Empor1a Dung woman 1akeS Cattle
Kansas City Personally
In the live stock exchange at Kansas
City last week, says the Emporia Re
publican, there appeared a new dealer
in live stock in the person of Miss
Nj annie Fluker of this city, who was in
terested in five car loads of cattle. She
did not accompany the cattle like most
stockmen but came to the city in a pas
senger coach. AS soon as Miss Eluker
reached the city she went to the cattle
yards, gave instructions as TO the manner
of their disposition and personally super
vised the feeding and yarding. Miss
Fluker is not yet II years of age, but is
well posted in cattle values. When asked
how much her cattle would sell for she
replied that they ought TO bring $31
head. When sold they Melted her $3o.77
a head.
Miss Fluksr lost her father some time
since, by drowning. AS she was the only
member of the family conversant with
his affairs, and especially the live stock,
sufficiently to place it to an advantage,
she was put in full charge of that branch
of the estate, and from indications she
will wind up the affairs as successfully
as any old time cattleman could.

PERSONAL JUDGMENTS.
a Case in Point Before Judge Hazen
Now.

The question of "over judgments" on
mortgage foreclosures will soon be sub
mitted to Judge Hazen, though the point
involved is different from that submitted
to Judge Foster and upon which he made
important rulings refusing ''over judg-
ments" when the property was found to
be worth more than the judgment.
The motion to be made before Judge
Hazen is to set aside a sale where the
appraisement was ridiculously low. The
mortgage on business house near the
Union Pacific depot in North Topeka was
foreclosed and the property appraised
for 81 800. When the loan was made the
property was appraised at $4,000 and a
loan of 81 800 was made on the property.
The point which will be made by
Eugene Quinton. who will make a mo-
tor to have the sale ser aside, is that the
appraisement was ridiculously low and
is an injustice to the mortgagor because
it would be necessary for the property to
bring only $500 in order to make the sale
good and there would then be an over
Judgment for about 81 $50.

She is Now Mt Work.

Shc is Now Mt Work.
The women who were interested sub
siantially in her reformation ara glad TO

Mrs, Riordan will be remembered as
the woman who first attracted attention
in Topeka by drinking the alcoholic
nursing and getting taken to the police
station in broad daylight IN the
patrol wagon and behaving in a
way that shocked several people
who happened to be within
a block of the route the wagon took.
She then began repeating this exper-
fence at regular intervals and was sue
csssful in gaining good deal of unenvi-
able notoriety as drinker and smoker
and all round reckless woman.
Mrs. A. H. Case, DR.. Eva Harding,
Mrs. Thorpe and several other Topeka
women decided that here was chance
to do some substantial good and they i'm

and put her under treatment in hospi-

Ri0rdan has been enjoying the free air

nurse and intelligent sobriety for more
than two weeks.
She is entirely reformed and does not
even smoke. She Is neat and clean in
her dress and habits, educated, intelli-
gent and industrious. For the past two
weeks she has been caring for a sick
woman on West Eighth street. The
case is one in which Mrs Riordan as
nurse has to handle a great deal of al
coholic stimulants. but she has not
touched a drop of it and says she does
not want to.
Mrs. Riordan is over fifty years of age
and was once a happy wife and mother
at Portland, Oregon. She cultivated the
love for alcohol through using it in her
profession as 4 nurse.

There is rumor that excavating ma

arrive soon and work commences in

or not there is any truth in the rumor.
The work ID still going on in desul-

with wheel scrapers. There is not mucn
to show for the work, however, though
several thousand dollars have been spent.
II the people interested in the project
are in earnest, more active work will
have to be done and unless machinery is
secured the excavation alone would
prove an almost endless job.

HORSETHREE STORIES UP.
One Ridden Into Joe Waters Office in the

Capt. Joe Waters Office is on the third
floor of the Columbian building and in
one of the secluded corners of the build

evening when there was knock at the
door, He opened it and was astounded
to see a boy on horse ride past him.
The horse was Charley Sampson's ST.
Domingo and he was taken up in the
elevator Several of the offices were
visited and the horse was then taken to
the basement in the elevator and led out
of the building.
