LOSE MILLIONS
Tobacco Manufacturers Out $780,
100000 in 1905.
Prospect of Still Larger Loss in '06-
Great Anxiety i'm Tobacco Circles.

CHICAGO, Dec. 30.-It was reported
here today that large sum of money
had been offered for the tobacco habit
cure, called No To- BAG, which is famous
all over the country for its wonderful
cures. This offer, it is said, was made by
parties who desire to take it off the
market and stop the sale, because of its
injury to the tobacco business. General
Manager Kramer, of No-To-Bac, when
interviewed today at his Office, No. 80
Randolph street, said:
slNo, sir, No-To- BAG is not for sale to
the tobacco trust. Certainly No o-Bac
affects the tobacco business. It will
cure over 100000 people in 1896, at an
average saving of $50 which each
would otherwise expend for tobacco,
amounting in round figures to $10,000,000.
Of course tobacco dealers loss is gained
by the cured. Does No To-Bac benefit
physically? Yes, sir. The majority of
our patients report an immediate gain of
flesh, and their nicotine saturated sys-
TENS are cleansed and made vigorous
No-To-Bac is sold by druggists through
out the United States and Canada, I'M
der absolute guarantee that three boxes
will cure any case. Failure to cure
means the money back. OF course there
are failures. but they are few, and we
can better afford to have the good will
of an occasional failure than the money.
We publish little book called Don't
Tobacco Spit and Smoke Your Life
Away that tells all about No To -Bac,
which will be mailed free to anyone
desiring it by addressing the Sterling
Remedy Co., Chicago, Montreal, Can, or
New York"

GRADING TYLER STREET.
Question Discussed by the Streets and
walks COnlmittee-AlsO North Kan
sas Avenue.

Question Discussed by the Streets and
walks COsnmittee-AlsO North Kan
sas Avenue.
The committee on streets and walks
of the city council held a
meeting yesterday. There were two
things considered by the committee. the
grading of Tyler street between Fifth
and Sixth and the appraisers report on
widening Kansas avenue north of Cor
don street in North Topeka.
The petition to grade Tyler street was
presented some time ago and since then
the street commissioner has graded out
the cutters SO as to prevent water food
ing the sidewalks and the committee
thought that it would not be wise to at
tempt to grade the street this winter.
There is some objection to the apprais-
ers' report on the widening of Kansas
avenue on the ground that the property
is not assessed equitably. The Methodist
church and parsonage will pay nearly
$40 of the $500 to be paid as damages
for opening the street and there are other
pieces of property upon which some of
the committee consider the assessment
disproportionately high.
The committee took no action, but the
question of whether the report shall be
accepted or rejected will probably be
discussed at the next meeting of the
council

SEND THEM BACK

To Atchison-How Atchison Paupsrs Are
Unloaded on Topeka.
The three poorest and most wretched
families in Topeka came, or were sent
here from Atchison.
The latest arrival came Saturday night
"a mother in i'll health aud four chill
dren.
They had to apply to the county and to
the neighbors for coal and food at once.
The mother said the husband stayed in
Atchison to cut wood, and she brought
the family down here for the winter.
They are very needy.
Atchiscn is always whooping about
the injustice of Topeka toward her, but
she continually unloads her paupers on
Topeka &c be taken care of.

FUTURE RAILROADS.
Claus SpreckeIs Says Electricity
viii Supersede Steam.

SAN Francisco, Dec 31.-In letter to
the Call, Claus Spreckels. the sugar king
expresses his views regarding a revolu-
ton in railway construction and travel,
as follows
sit is my belief that a revolution in
the matter of railway construction and
travel is near at hand. I believe that
with new and improved methods of con-
struction, and with the use of new motor
power, transportation speed will be i'm
mensely increased. Electricity will take
the place of steam and single track
will take the place of the present double
rails, and whereas sixty miles an hour is
now the very limit of speed, $50 miles
an hour, and possibly more than that, will
be attained with more safety aud comfort
to the travellers than is now assured them.
1t may be thought that such prophecy
is chimerical but assuredly it is no more
chimerical at this day than was the tele-
graph, the telephone or the steam rail
way in the days of their infancy"

If Report is Anything Mrs. Davidson and
Miss Overman are AdventurOsses.
SAN Francisco, Dec 51.-Mrs Mary
Davidson, the Sunday school teacher who
is under arrest for an alleged attempt to
extort money from Rev, DR.. c. o. Brown,
pastor of the First Congregational
church, has made public lengthy state
ment in which she reiterates the charges
made against the minister.
Mrs. Davidson says Miss Overman told
her the names of other women who were
known By DR.. Brown. One of the most
interesting features of the story is the
statement that Miss Overman went to the
local newspapers four months ago and
offered to sell story for 81 ,000 which
she said would ruin a prominent resident
of this city and cause a sensation all over
the country. When the statement was
first made Miss Overman denied the as
sertion. The paper in question today
prints an interview with its city editor in
which he says a woman whom he
believes to have bean Miss Overman did
offer to sell him a scandalous story about
a prominent man whom she refused to
name unless paid S 200. Miss Overman,
who resides at Tacoma, was divorced
from her husband several years ago.
Her husband who was a gambler was
killed in a gambling house at Butte,
Montana. The local ministers and the
members of DR.. Browns church express
the utmost faith in his uprig htness. The
ministers at their weekly meeting adopt
ed a resolution of confidence in DIR.

DON'T STRIKE. BUT VOTE,


NEW YORK, Dec 31.-The leaders of
the Socialist Labor party of this country
have organized a trades union which
they say will absorb all the labor unions
in North America within five years. 1t
is called the Socialist Trade and Labor
Alliance of North America.
The Socialists say it is opposed to the
old style pure and simple trades union.
1t is based on the principle that strikes
at the ballot box are more effective than
strikes in the economic field.
"What is the use," say the Socialists,
''of striking against the capitalist 564
days in the year and then of eiecting on
the three hundred and sixty fifth day the
servants of the very ca pitalist?"
The Socialist Trade and Labor alliance
has issued manifesto to the wage
workers of the United States and Cana
da. 1t says:
No sensible wageworker will deny
that the time is long past when he could
better his condition by his individual ex-
ertion, his skill, his industriousness, his
thrift.
'There can be no one vino must not
see that all these virtues go for naught
against the capitalists desire for even
larger profits and their ver-increasing
power of squeezing profits out of la Dor.
THE old style labor organization which
had its origin in England and was i'm
ported from there to this country, is an
attempt to raise the price of labor by
bringing all its available supply into one
com binatiou, and thus debating the terms
of SALE The plan relies on mere num-
bers and does not take into consideration
the following essential factors, which in
the end tend to defeat the most numerous
combination:
"First-The worker cannot. like the
merchant, put his commodity on the
shelf until better price is offered.
"Second-The capitalist can do in the
labor market what the purchaser in NO
other market can do: He can himself
create a surplus by introducing machin-
cry, thereby depressing the price of the
article he requires, and if combination
exists, breaking it up
"Third-The capitalist can do what the
purchaser in no other market can do:
He can, by means of powers of the state
which he controls, declare every attempt
to raise the price of the article he re-
quires crime, and suppress it.

Governor of Wfsconsin's Soldiers Home

MILWAUKEE, Dec. 31.-Colonel Corne-
Illus Wheeler, governor of the soldiers
home, was arrested last night on a war
rant sworn out by Charles Cuppel before
Justice Taft, of the town of Wauwatosa,
on a charge of selling liquor without a
license. For number of years there has
been maintained on the home grounds a
saloon where beer was sold to the veter-
ans. No attempt was made to interfere
with the project, as it was supposed that
the United States had exclusive iurisdic-
ton over the home grounds.
Charles Cuppel, who lives a short dis
lance away, has always insisted that the
home saloon ought to pay license. AS
soon as he heard of Judge Seaman's de-
cision in the Kelley case. in which the
judge held that the state had Jurisdiction
over the grounds he went before Justice
Taft and swore out the warrant

JUST FROM VENEZUELA.
A Topeka rIan Arrives From That
Country.
THE PEOPLE A DEGRADED LOT

Not Worth Fighting For-AlI the
officials Are Thieves and COntin-
ualIy Seeking to Cut Each Others
ThrOats-Even Now a "RevOIutiOn''
(sTurder and PiIIage Expedition is
in Progress.
Mr.. W. Fl. Pattison, young man who
was for several years an officer at the
reform school, has just returned from
Venezuela where he went with a party
of American capitalists who were max
ing an investigation in view of investing
in that country.
Mr.. Pattison said to STATE JOURNAL
reporter: "There is constant trouble in
Venezuela. Even now while the coun-
try is having trouble with England over
her boundary, revolution is in progress
against the local government
'The people in the province of Yuru-
ari are the revoiutionists. They are dis
satisfied with President CresDo's govern
ment and as there is to be an election to
select his successor next spring the peo-
pie of Yuruari have started revolution
TO bring about the overthrow of the pres
sent government at that time.
"The people of Yuruari are very de-
graded and are not even half civilized.
My notion is that about one half of them
ought to be killed, anyway. About Cara
Gus, the national capital, it is different.
The people are intelligent and are highly
civilized. All the people in the country
talk the Spanish language. l had no
trouble getting along as the gentleman l
was with talked Spanish.
"TheEe is no question that the English
will get the very chest part of Venezue-
IL if they succeed in establishing the
boundary lines they now claim. The
country is rich in gold and coal
Americans are treated cordially, and
there is no question that the government
would at this time give American capt.
talists almost any concessionssthey mi G at
ask, if the asking we're done in the proper
way. OF course every official would have
to be bought, from the president down,
but the price would not be expensive.
There seems to be a great opening for a
railroad, and if American capitalists
would build line of road from the coast
| into the interior it would no doubt make
them immensely wealthy. The inter
| ior is rich in mahogany, rosewood and
| rubber, and the only access to
those rich fields at this time is up the
Oriuoco river by boats, and all the boats
are owned by a company in which
| President Crespo is a partner, and this
| company has d monopoly and regulates
the trade. 1t would not be necessary to
build railroad over two hundred miles
in length.
Living is very expensive in Venezu-
ella. In Caracas flour is worth six cents
pound and ice manufactured il Car
acas sells for $50 ton.
The officials are all highwaymen, and
| when we started home we had to pay 81
apiece for our passports TO get out of the

NEW YORK HOTELS.
Something About One of Them in Par
ticuIar.

ticular
Hotels in New York city change hands
frequently. OF late there have been so
many new ones built and opened at an
enormous expense that the business of
the past two or three years has not kept
pace with them The landlords have
succumbed to the pressure and the own
ers have been compelled to shoulder the
burden and bear the losses. Strange
faces, new arrangements and new meth
DDS seem to take away from them the
comfortable, home-like atmosphere to
which the traveller has been accus-
toned Here and there, however,
there are seccessful hostelries which
continue to hold their own VI
der the same management. It is a case
of the survival of the tittest. The st.
Denis is hotel of this character, and
under the direction of its old time land
lord, William Taylor, continues one Of
the most pleasant and attractive in the
city. Within a few months a new i'm
Fetus has been given to the management
of the business in the person of Mr..
| Charles Leigh Taylor, the only son of the
proprietor, whose name in the future
will be conspicuous in the partnership.
This young gentleman has served long
pprenticeship in the hotel aud is now
! well equipped to assume the charge of it
| improvements have been made and sug.
| gested which have minimized the fric-
ton and in marked degree reduced the
! expenses of the establishment Tue
location of the ST. Denis is as central
as that of any hotel in the city. Di-
rectly opposite Grace church, on the
corner of Broadway and Eleventh street,
the outlook and surroundings are pecu-
| liarly pleasant and unique. The Broad
way cable cars pass the door, affording
| quick transit either up or down
town. For families as we'll as bust
| ness men it is most convenient.
Accommodations are ample for a large
number of guests and the service prompt
and u1obtrusive. The menu is most
elaborate, both in American and French
cookery. In season or out of season
there is nothing wanting to tempt OF sat
isfy the most exacting epicure or accom-
| plished bon vivant. With all these at
fractions it is not surprising that the pop
ularity of the hotel has grown to such
proportions that during the greater part
of the year the house is crowded. There
is no doubt that the moderate rates which
prevail both in the prices of rooms and
restaurant charges have much to do with
the big business. as the travelling man or
woman is not slow to learn where the
best can be had for the least money
