MAKES BURNS PAINLESS.
Picric Acid Solution VIII Ease n Fresh
Wound md Heal 1t.

The suffering caused by n burn upon tho
skin. whether small or great, is intense,
rs every one knows, and medical science
has only been able thus far to ~palliatc but
not to remove tho pain entirely. Chance
led to the discovery in the Paris Charity
hospital Of IL remedy which, it is claimed,
will cause burns to cease from being pain
full rs soon rs it is applied, and which will
cause tho injured flesh to heal with mar
velous rapidity.
ono OF tho surgeons was in tho habit of
using picric acid rs an antiscptic, and his
hands were therefore i~mpregnnted with
the solution. Ono day in lighting u ciga-
rette n portion of tho burning match fell
upon his hand, but instead of feeling it
he noticed not tho slightest pain. A short
time aftcrward, while scaling n letter,
some burning WAX stuck to his finger. and
though 1t cautorizcd tho skin no felt no
sensation. This set him TO thinking, and
he arrived ut tho conclusion that tho acid
had, to use his OWL words, ''actcd upon
tho tissues and tightoned them"
He began "a series of experiments in
treating burns with q saturated solution
of picric acid. "All pain was instantly
suppressed" ho says in his report, latter
having bathcd tho wound in u solution Of
this ncid. Blistcrs did not form, and q
cure was effected after four or five days.
Tho only Inconvenience was that tho acid,
which Is commercially used in tho manu-
fact uro of dyes, colorcd tho skin yellow,
but these stains rapidly disappeared when
washed with boric acid. Picric acid, more
over, is odorlcss and is neither c~iustic, ir-
ritnting nor toxic in its Objects"

ease with which u proper solution Of it

esTHE DANITES'' REPEATED

"A Big Audience Saw and Liked It-Bi11s
for Tonight and Tomorrow.
s.The Danites" improves on acquaint-
ance.
There was another big audience at the
Grand last night and it was appreciative.
The Alexander MCGEE of Mr.. Rankin
met favor with every line, as Mr.. Rankin's
work easily does An observing specta-
tor can see very little to criticise in it. 1t
is true to nature and the work of an art
ist What is art but nature reproduced?
The poet, artist or actor that gets away
from Nature is leaving behind him the
only true model and using false one.
A woman is entitled to more grace,
more sentiment and a more extended cir
Gle of dramatic license on the stage
owing to her deeper emotions, but Miss
Patrice O'Neil as Nancy Williams can
not be accused of using too much of it.
Miss O'Neill has an unusual amount of
the dramatic instinct and is ambitious.
That is the best that can be said af any
young actor. Emotional roles suit her.
As the adventures in the Canuck she is
not successful.
Tonight Mr. Rankin will repeat his
"Canuck," in which he appears as Jean
Cadeaux, one of his greatest parts. This
is the same piece he played Wednesday
night
There will be matinee Saturday
afternoon, and Dickens SOLVER Twist
will be given.
The piece for Saturday night is a dra-
matization of Dickens David Copper
field, and is called "Little Emily"

The A. r. q. is Still Alive Though 1t Isn't
Making Much Noise.
The a. R. Z. organization that was
formed in Topeka during the great Pull
man strike of last summer, is still in ex-
istence.
1t is not so large nor are its meetings
as enthusiastic as they were when there
were hourly kilograms encouraging them
to "stand firm" and daily meetings of the
same bent, but i: is alive yet and the
meetings, while they are not 80 frequent
nor so large, are interesting. They nave
become a sort of reunion in fact, when
the boys in blue-greasy-me ana tell
about the hard fought battle that came
so near ending d;sastrousiy to them and
their dear cause.
At one time when r. J. SIoat was presi-
dent and the excitement had reached it's
zenith, there were in the Topeka organi-
cation in the neighborhood of $50 men.
None of them have lost their member
ship by withdrawal, though vast major
ity have stopped attending the meetings
and are not active members.
Very little more than one hundred of
the old members are still active partici-
pants in the meetings.
II. X Jones is president; Frank Whit
aker is financial secretary, and Harry
Chapman is the recording and CORES
ponding secretary.

sUFFRAGISTS DEFEATED.

In Illinois Women Come Very Near Gain
ing Franchise in Townships
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, March 15.-The
woman suffragists were defeated in the
senate yesterday. They came SO near to
victory that their defeat was all the
more disappointing. The bill for which
the women have been fighting was SEN
ator Coon's bill granting them the right
to vote for township officers. Nearly a
month ago this measure, by very close
vote, failed to pass. A motion to recon
slider was entered and the cons liberation
of this motion has bsen postponed from
week to week until today.
a delegation of Chicago Republican
women have been here for a week lobby
ing for the measure, and before the SEN
ate met this morning they were able to
count sufficient number of friendly
senators to reconsider and pass their
bill. Twenty-six votes are required in
the senate to reconsider the vote by
which bill fails to pass. The women
were sure of twenty-seven, but when the
roll was called only twenty five votes
were recorded in favor of their bill,
while there were thirteen against it, and
they were unable to secure a reconsid-
Grafton. Two of the senators upon whom
they had been relying RETAINED from
voting

Miss Ellen Beach Yaw, the pheno-
menal new soprano, comes to the Grand

Dick, the violinist. The seats will be on
sale tomorrow morning.

perfect cure of me It has also cured
me of Indigestion, and furthermore,

With all my other children | had great
