The common sense of the people has
long refused to believe that rheuma-
tism and neuralgia were diseases hope
less of cure.
Prof. Edward E. Phelps, M. D., LII.
D., of Dartmouth college, has con-
firmed their belief. There is an ab-
solute specific for both of these dis
eases in Paine's celery compound.
Thousands of men and women are
every year entirely freed from these
two torturing disorders by Paine's
celery compound.
Neuralgia-pain affects first one part
of the body and then another. Ma

THE VANISHING LAKES.

The question of the vanishing lakes
of Minnesota and the Dakotas has
been one which has excited much in
tereSt throughout the northwest for
the past two years or more. All of
those lakes have diminished in size,
while many of the smaller ones have
disappeared altogether, and the beds
of some of them are now being culti-
waited.
Yesterdays Pioneer Press contained
four or five columns of correspondence
from the lake centers of the state, and
also from South Dakota, and every
one of the communications tell the
same story-that the lakes are slowly
disappearing, and many that were
once beautiful sheets of water are
now thing of the past and their
beds are devoted to agricultural pur-
poses. 1t is also curious to note the
uniformity of reasoning as to the
cause therefor which runs through all
of the correspondence, and that is
that the cultivation of the surround
ing land which causes a greater alb
sorption of moisture, together with
the decrease in the amount of rain
fall is at the bottom of the trouble.
The snowfall for the past two or
three winters has been less than usual
and this has contributed greatly to
the trouble. Many of the CORES
pondents think that should the rain
fall reach its average amount again
for a series of years, the larger lakes
would doubtless fill up again, but
probably not to the old point.
The Pioneer Press also prints dia-
gram showing the yearly rainfall in
St. Paul since 1859 The average has
been % inches, but the diagram shows
that since 1882 it has fallen greatly
below that amount, only rising up to
and above that point in 1892 3, and
Immediately falling below it again.
In commenting upon the matter it
says
Is their disappearance permanent?
For the smaller and shallower lakes,
yes. The diminished drainage supply
is sufficient alone to account for their

SO they did and they will go Republican
next year unless there is a decided
change in the policy of the Democratic
managers"
SIS there likely to be a change in their
policy?" asked the reporter.

too early 10 tell what may happen l

ticle in a morning paper pur porting to
tell how the silver question has been af

was nothing in the election at ali affect
ing the money question,
''In Maryland the Republicans all
voted their ticket straight Republicans
always do. All you have to do to get

The average Republican cares nothing
for principle or platform; he votes for
the nominees.
"Why, here in Kansas there are any
number of Republicans who voted
against prohibition and have been against
prohi bition from first to last that walked
up to the polls and voted the ticket every
year just the same, when there was
prohibition plank in it, as before. 1t
was that way in Maryland and Kentucky.
The Republicans, especially the negro
Republicans. voted their ticket just the

were dissatisfied with tho way things
were running in their party voted the
Republican ticket too and that was what
did the business.
AS to the result in Kansas l can see
nothing in the result of the election in
either Kansas or Nebraska to justify the
statement that the Popuiist party has
gone TO pieces and l am not Populist,
either, 1 never have been Populist and
am neither the keeper Of their archives
or great seal and it is therefore nothing
to me, but l can't SEQ where the Popu-

Even from the figures in the Capital the
Populists have only lost Eve county

Judge Horizons statement about prohibi-
ton, but l do know that a very large
minority, if not majority of the people
of the state are opposed to our present

the question ought to be resubmitted to

Prof. waylapd Meant 100000.

Prof. Wayland. dean Of the Yale law
school. has been the innocent object Of
much journalistic incredulity and all
because OF a journalistic blunder. The
professor is a well known authority on
criminal statistics, and when the state
ment was published that he had de-
clared the criminal population of this
country to be not far from 5000, 900,
the public was eaToused and appalled,.
The professors figures were doubted in
some quarters, and in others the alarm
ing state of things was the subject of
profound comment. No one, however,
seems to have guessed that the profess
sor's figures were really 10000, and
that an enterprising reporter added
cipher, which temporarily revolution
lied the subject Of American criminol-
ogy. If half the papers that commented
vigorously take the trouble to correct
the misstatement, Prof. Wayland will
be more fortunate than most victims OF
such San error.-St. Paul Pioneer.

Their Minstrel Show Pleased a Large Aud
ioncs Last Night.
A good audience gathered to hear
Primrose s. Vests minstrels at the
Grand last night, and it was very well
pleased
The troupe is large and the costumes
are fine. The first part by the colored
people was excellent and the opening by
the entire company was the prettiest
seen here. The singing throughout was
excellent both in choruses and solos.
Mr.. Primrose gave "Standing on the
Corner" in which he sprung new red
flannel suit and gave a particularly
graceful dance afterward. George Will
son was as funny as ever in monologue
and tbs crowd roared ut his fun. Ole of
the few drawbacks to the performance
was the Introduction of one or two old
and vulgar jokes.
The drill, with calcium light effects on
a dark stage by superbly costumed
''grsnadiers," led by Mr.. West, was in
deed fine
The dioramic views of old world
scenes and others at the close of the per-
Torrance was new, but depressed the
crowd after so much mirth.
The scene shifting throughout the per-
Torrance was somewhat careless.

at will take money and lots of it but
there is hardly business man in Topeka
who will not contribute to such fund.
1--WE need something 10 attract people
TO Topeka and the festival idea is the
right thing. l am Of the opinion that
the state fair scheme is worn out, any
how. and that it takes a new plan to
bring people. They will come if we
have something new and novel and we
can make the festival grand success.
The city will be better off for it and we
will all feel better.
at is my opinion that an organization OF
the business men of the city should be
made as soon as possible. There is no
use in waiting aud the sooner we com.
mence work the better. Keep the ball a
rolling and the festival will be a sue
cess"
P. I. Bonebraks, president of the Cen
trail National bank, is in favor of the fes-
big success. "If there are good crops
next year we can have festival which
will be big thing" said he. "Of course
if there is a failure people would not
come, but with good crops there is no
reason why Topeka should not do some
thing that will advertise US and make US
talked about all over the state. 1t will
be great advertisement and am heart
lily in favor of the scheme"
"There IS one thing we must do when
we have the festival next year" said J.
r Hankla to = JOURNAL reporter, land
that is illuminate. There is nothing
looks better than electric lights, and lots
of them. and the business houses should
be lighted so as to attract attention. l
intend TO cover our hotel with electric
lights from the top to bottom and let peo-
pie know where we are aud other bust
ness men should do the same. Illumi-
nations are the life of d carnival or any
festivities held in the evening"
Mr.. Hankla's idea is in line with the
electrical idea suggested by Mr.. Hunter.
Electricity can be used for Illuminating
purposes all along Kansas ave nue and
be made a beautiful sight.

Topeka people are considered extreme
ly cultivated along musical lines and al
ways keep in close touch with the latest
music.
A JOURNAL representative called on

learn some of the latest songs.
IA knight at Play and a Singer in
the Gallery are the vety latest" said
Mr. Roehr. "These are being sung with
great success.
81 find that ladies who come to the
store after music invariably select the
latest-both vocal and instrumental.
I'm purchasing mandolins, guitars. or
any of the varied musical instruments
that they may desire of me, the same
good judgment is displayed.
Eyes, 1 think you may say the musical
people of Topeka are up with the times"
And the JOURNAL desires to add for
Mr.. Roehr. who is rather modest, that his
opinion, like his stock, is at par value.
