NEXT SPRING.
Opponents of the Democrats May
Retain Their Title.
"CITIZENS" STILL WANTED.
Many Republican Voters Think II More
Advisable to Sail Into the Battle
Under the Old Name.

There is considerable discussion as to
the wisdom of abolishing the Citizens
ticket for the approaching spring election
and putting a straight Republican ticket
in the field and it is not improbable that at
its meeting on the 18th inst. the Standing
Committee will reconsider the action it
took at its last meeting, so far as the
name of the ticket is concerned.
For several years past there has been
howl on the part of the Republican voters
of the borough against the imposition
practiced at their primaries by Democrats
who took hand in the meetings for no
other reason than to serve personal ends,
or to bring about the weakest nomina-
tions possible, so that the Democrats
would have less trouble to defeat them.
With each recurring year the cry for
straightout Republican system has in
creased and last Spring it was so formid.
able that many thought that in instruct.
ing the Standing Committee to adopt the
Crawford county system the primaries
had also instructed Il change of the name
from "Citizens" to Republican" This, it
dppGoAS lAOll AhNNSulBelOlOllB was OH CIIOIs
The resolution by which one of the
primaries decided upon the adoption Of
the Crawford county system has been
resurrected. 1t bears the signatures of
one hundred and seven voters of the ward
in which the primary was held and set
forth eve therefore recommend that
the city committee of the Citizens party
abolish the present conferee system of
making nominations, and substitute
therefor regular system of balloting
fer candidates at the primaries, under
which the nominees of the borough, as
well as the ward tickets, shall be chosen
by popular vote"
1t will be seen that no reference was
made to change of the party name, and
this having been established, together
with the apparent weight of sentiment in
favor of retaining the name Citizens"
there is reason to believe that the
Standing Committee will rescind its action
in changing the name and have the old
one restored.
The name of the party can in no way in
terfere with the operation of the new
system, so that there can be no objection
to the re-adoption of the old name on that
score.

"The Outcast."

The romantic drama, "The Outcast,"
presented at the opera house last night,
was a complete success. Its story is told
with simplicity and directness, its scenes
are carried on amid such picturesque
surroundings as never fail to gratefully
impress the eye, and bits of comedy of a
kind that Invariably appeals to a popular
assemblage, alternate with pathos that
stirs with unfailing swiftness the emotions
of the throng. Harold Holmes wins the
sympathy Of his spectators at once, and
in the third act rouses them to unwonted
excitement by his meeting with his enemy
and his simple bravery and determination.

Corner LOungerS and Misplaced Letter
Box Cause Trouble.
The attention of the police is called to
the Farmers hotel corner, Main and Coal
streets, which is almost continually occu-
pied by young men who insult passersby.
The other evening gentleman from Nah
anoy City had his hat ruined by snow
balls thro En by this crowd and when he
protested he was jeered and otherwise
insulted, One of the policemen visited
the corner and, of course, saw no disturb
ance, but he had hardly turned his back
when the crowd resumed its tactics ana
carried them out with high hand. This
evil can onl T be abated by the police dis.
persing the crowd and allowing no loaf
ing about the hotel.
SHOULD BE CHANGED.
The letter box at the corner of Cherry
and Gilberu streets is causing considerable
annoyance 1t is so located as to be an
obstruction to people who must pass over
the pavement. A little girl was so badly
injured by striking her head against it
that she had to be carried to her home,
and on another occasion an old lady who
collided with the box was thrown to the
pavement with such force as to almost
cause the fracture of an, arm.

The address of Howell Jones was
splendid eulogy on the life and work of
Captain Ross Burns, the hero of the
battle, the man who stood by the old
brass hoWitzer and was the last to sur
render.
Mr.. Jones said: "This country is a
country of heroes, and Captain Ross
Burns, among many others, must find a
tender, affectionate, and secure abiding
place in the hearts of the people of Kan
sas, and even in larger history. He was
one of the first to respond and march to
the front, his new celebrated battery
being attached to Colonel VeaIe's regi-

an army of eighteen thousand men and
twenty guns, adding several thousand
thereto by recruiting and conscripting in

Today is one of the beautiful days of the
American year Today the loyal living
lays down its work and play and makes
pleasure of paying fitting tribute to
the loyal dead. Today the colors that
the heroes of the war bowed to so nobly
to rise 10 more on earth, themselves bow
half masted to the memory of their fall
en- saviors. 1t is day of sorrow that
the day must be and day of joy that
the tribute is. The very flowers ripen
for its approach aud every heart feels a
joyful sorrow at its advent
1t is Decoration Day and the entire
nation observes it.
This particular Decoration Day in To-
peka is of double interest in that it has
been so happily chosen for the day on
which to dedicate monument that shall
be the pride OF every Kansau-the
monument Mr.. G. G. Gage, of Topeka,
has erected TO the friends of his youth
. that fell in the battle of the Big Blue, six
miles south of what is now Kansas City,
on the afternoon of Saturday, October
%, 1864.
This afternoon the Topeka cemetery
or the part of it that is being used for ex-
ercises is crowded with spectators to
see the unveiling of the first monument
of its kind erected in the state and the
first monument ever given to the memory
Of his comrades by a private soldier.

West.
The monument is very handsome
one. 1t is entirely of Vermont granite
and is twenty feet high and seven and
one half feet square at the base. The
workmanship is superior and the sur
mounting figure, which is that of a sol
dier at parade rest, is excellently done
1t is six and one half feet high.
The figure faces the west and looks
toward the city in solemn waiting aud
almost seems to be looking to those who
will soon follow those who have already
gone and lie in the shadow of its watch
full care.
The inscription on the west side reads:

of Kansas for their hearty cooperation
in these services of dedication.
II now present the monument to all
ex- Union soldiers of the war, believing
that the lesson which it teaches will tend
to keep alive that unseltish patriotism
upon which so much depends for the de-
velopment of all that is noble in man.

This method may seem tedious one
TO the woman who Is always In hurry,
but the superior excellence Of the fruit
treated this way more than compensates
for the time spent. The berries will be
as clear as crystal, Of fine color, and
good shape.
To every pound OF strawberries allow
three-fourths Of pound OF sugar, add
enough water to the sugar to keep IL
from burning, and put over the fire to
melt. Take IL OIL as soon as II Is clear
syrup, and pour II over the fruit already
spread In shallow dishes; cover with
glass and set the dishes Ia the sun. Let
the fruit stand exposed to Soils rays for
two days, stirring occasionally; then
pour of the syrup and boil 1t again, add
ing piece OF alum as large as two good
sized peas TO clear 1t. Pour the hot
syrup over the berries and again sun
them for day. The next day pour all
into the preserving kettle and cook until
the berries I'LL out and grow plump-look-
ing. Then again set In the sun for one
day; the next day put In jars and seal.
There Is not very much work about this
method, after all, but 1t takes time, and
cannot be hurried. The reason for
using glass over the berries Is chiefly 10
draw extra heat; but II will also keep
them from dust aud flies, and so fulfill a
double mission. II you have never tried
this way OF preparing this most delicious
Of all fruits you will not regret 1t II you

FOR APPENDICITIS.

A widely quoted remedy for the relief
Of appendicitis, this old disease with the
new name, Is sweet oil taken internally,
from one to two ounces administered
every three hours till the pain and fever
are relieved. In addition the patient
should be kept in bed, and hot poultices
applied over the seat Of pain. 1t Is said
that this trouble is not infrequently ex-
perienced and recovered from, and the
sufferer never knows It. OF course II
the Inflammation lasted long and spread,
its character would declare itself; but
natures first impulse is toward cure
when she finds the bit Of foreign body,
which may be anything, not necessarily
q seed, and very often she accompanies
il without help.
