500 Reward. 500,

The readers of this paper will be pleased to
learn that there is at least one dreaded dis
ease that science has been able to cure in all
its stages and that is Catarrh. Halls
Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon
the blood and mucous surfaces of the sys-
TEN, thereby destroying the foundation ofthe
dmease, and giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and assisting
nature in doing its work. The proprietors
have so much faith in its curative powers,
that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for list of

Heartreuding Accident to Mr.. Goode,

Mr. Goodey is an inveterate church-goer
and pillar of an East Washington church.
A good story is told on him by fellow

The occasion was prayermeeting, and,
asusual, Mr.. Goodey sat in forward bench.
After the opening prayer and hymn the pas

Goodey in this wise:
Brother, you told me yesterday you
would bring your brother along with you
to this meeting, but see you are alone"
Hes here" quickly spoke up Goodey,
turning toward the rear. Bob" he call
ed. "Come up front"

Mr.. Dawes was told, and he sup
posed up to ten days ago that there
was plenty of money in the state treas
ury to pay for all the printing
that was ordered. As soon as he discov-
cred that the printing fund was running
short he quit signing requisitions The
printing committee has refused to allow
about fifty per cent of the acquisitions
for printing which have been presented
to them since January /, but this work
which has been done and which has caus-
ed the printing fund to be overdrawn,
was work which the law says shall be
done and they could not do otherwise
than order it"
When asked if it would not now be in
order for the governor to order the at
torney general to arrest Mr.. Dawes for
a violation of law. as he had done in the
Breidenthal case, Mr.. GODDARD said, mo
this does not come under that law. This
work was not ordered in excess of the
appropriation knowingly, and that makes
all the difference in the world"
The members of the printing board
seem to be guilty of technical violation
of law in about the same way Bank Com
missioner Breidenthal is, and if be is to
be prosecuted on a technical point these
other state officers are liable to the same
kind of treatment.
Technical points of law seem to be
edged tools for state officials to fool with.

MRS. NICCUM DID IT ALL.

Her Petition Says the Nfccum Property is
Due'to Her Efforts.
Mary A. Niccum, who is the manager
of a restaurant and lodging house near
the Santa Fe depot, applied today for
divorce from ]. r. Niccum, and also for a
restraining order to keep her husband
off of her property. Mrs Niccnm
married her husband at Baldwin City
Just ten years ago. she says when She
was married she was worth $4,000, but
her husband incumbered and invested It
recklessly and lost it all. Then they
came to Topeka, five years ago, and she
embarked in the restaurant business st
500 East Fifth street. She says that, a
though she is in the decline of life anI
he is in vigorous health, she has to do
all the work, and that her husband
does nothing but loaf around the place
and spend the money she earns in a pro-
fligate manner. For these reasons she
asks for divorce and restraining order
to keep him off her premises, Besides
the lunch counter Mrs. Niccum runs the
lodging house on the northwest corner
of Fifth and Holiday streets.

chanan was away on professional call.
At the funeral he laughed and joked
with those who accompanied him to the
cemetery, and told many people that
the dead woman had left him $4,000.
On the 10th of May he was secretly
remarked to his divorced wife at Wind
sor, n. s. They went to New York and
lived in the Hotel Hamilton under as
sumed names. As the facts leaked out
through the newspapers, Buchanan be-
came frightened and spread the report
that the deceased woman was addicted to
the morphine habit.
In burst of confidence he said to
friend: 81 wish to God had cremated
her. Then the newspapers and the au-
thorIties could go to -" On June 9th
the body was disinterred and an autopsy
held The following day Buchanan was
arrested and committed to the Tombs on
a charge of murder.
His trial which was a very sensational
one, was begun on March 20, 1898. It
cost the county about $4,000. Experts
were pitted against each other, and no
stone was left unturned by the prosecu-
ton or defense in their preparations for
a medico-legal battle. The best criminal
lawyers in the city defended Buchanan.
The trial lasted six weeks, and under the
strain one of the jurymen, Hastings NJ.
Paradise, became delirious while the
twelve were celebrating over the YER
dict. On April &C. having debated for
two days, the jury returned a verdict of
guilty.
WASHINGTON, July up to the hour
of DR.. Buchanan's electrocutiOn no ap-
peal has been filed in the United States
supreme court The court officials are of
the opinion that the electrocution settles
all legal complications and there can be
no further action in the form of collect
ing damages from the state of New York
as has been suggested.

RECEIVER FOR THEsPRESS'

Daily PaDer,

One Is Wanted to Manage j. B. ChapmRn's
Daily Paper.
Action has been commenced in the
district court to place J. B. Chapman's
Topeka Daily Press" in the hands of
receiver. The plaintiff in the action is
K U. Whitted, who has been for several
years the foreman of the Press compos
ing room.
A month ago K. U. Whitted obtained
judgment in Justice Furry's court against
MIR. Chapman for $99 for back salary.
At the same time a dozen other printers
got judgment for wages in sums from
S25 to 800. Foreman Whitted bought
up these judgments which in all make
total of about $500.
Mr.. Whitted alleges that the Press is
insolvent, and that an execution in the
hands of the sheriff failed to find any
property not otherwise encumbered to
satisfy the judgment He therefore asks
that the sheriff or some other suitable
person be appointed receiver of the
daily Press to manage its affairs and pay
its debts.
W. Il. Sears, John H. Seaton. George
w. Clark, and the heirs of the Charles
Robinson estate are also made defendants
to the suit by virtue of a chattel mort
gage for $500 held on the prese, type
and tools of the plant Mr.. Whitted's
attorney is ID, A. Austin.

THE MICROPHONE.
They Have a Natural One in Texas
Which Beats the Eastern One.


A man from Texas sat in the Hotel
Brunswick yesterday and told three
lies-told them deliberately, says New
York Press. He was not an Ochiltree,
either. One of them may be worth read
Ing. Said he:
you've got your new-fangled micro
phone at work, I see, but I just want
to tell you folk up here that we have
a natural one down in Texas that beats
1t all hollow. 1 reckon he's about II
years old now. He's got two ears
one big and one little. With the big
ear he can hear the runbling of a storm
100 miles away. He beats the weather
bureau predicting rain. He hears every
year the song of Miriam after Moses
and his friends crossed the Dead sea.
He has heard the booming of the guns
at the battle of Waterloo, and even re-
ports word for word the orders of Ma
poleon on that occasion. No sound shat
ever started the air to vibrating is lost
on him, if he happens to get in the line
of excitation. With his little ear he
can hear the faintest sounds on earth.
He can hear a fly walking on a window
pane, or flying through the air He
can hear flea hop, or a spider weaving
her web. On a dark night he can hear
a fish swimming. I have known him to
hear night coming on and settle down.
He never heard the moon rise, but there
are good reasons, I am told, for that.
I am here to get Barnum to give him
a place in his freak show"

There were 26 offenders in the police

TIL. Mountain Goat . Stupid Animal.

Although the mountain goat is a very
sure-footed and leveI-headed animal he
is said by those who have hunted him
(of whom confess am not one) to be
a very stupid animal and easily killed
when once the hunter reaches his
haunts, says a recent writer. In actual
weight he is about the size of the Vir-
ginia deer, but in bulk he seems to be
larger because of his shaggy fleece OF
wool and hair. The horns are small,
smooth and jet black, and the hoof is
a strange combination of rubber pad on
the inside and knife-edge on the out
side, to hold the owner on snow. ice. or
bare rock without slipping.
