aldermen and only eighteen Democrats.

date for mayor, received $4,000 votes,
few less than half as many votes as were
poIled by the third party last fall.
Mr Wenter declined to discuss the re-
suit except to say: "Evidently the peo-
pie did not want another Democratic
mayor at this time"
Mayor Hopkins (Democrat) was ap-
parently not surprised over the result.
''We have carried civil service" he said,
with a twinkle in his eye, when asked
what he thought of the result.
Mayor elect Swift said: sit is source
of great satisfaction to know that the
people have outgrown a campaign of
vilitication and appeals 10 race preju-

other Democrats, his successful opponent
being Patrick Gleason. Republican.
About the only non-Republican who
squeezed in was Congressman Frank
Lawyer independently, who owing to
quarrel between Republican factions,
captured seat as an alderman by an ex-
ceedingly narrow margin.
Mayor-elect Swift has decided to ap-
point Mr.. o. D. Wetherell as city CON
troller. Mr.. WethereIl has held this
position on one or two former occasions,
notably under the Democratic admins
tration of Mayor Harrison.

at Topeka he asked Craig for change for
$50 bill to get an express package.
He pretended to be in a great hurry.
Hamilton grabbed all the money the old
man had, saying "thafs enough" and
rushed out.

to assure the victim that the man would
be right back, thus giving him a chance
to escape.

SENSATIONAL TESTIMONY.

A Witness Testifies to Warden Chase's
Relations With a Female Employe.
When the Warden Chase Investigation
committee convened this afternoon the
committee proceeded at once to business.
Sadie Davis, a young colored woman
who now lives at 301 East Third street,
Topeka, but who was a convict in the
penitentiary when Warden Chase went
into office, was the first witness called.
She testified to the relations which ex-
listed between Warden Chase and Miss
Lou Williams, w no was assistant matron.
The Davis woman said her room was
near Miss Williams apartments and she
said that it was customary for Warden
Chase to visit the female department to
see Miss Williams frequently Some
times he would visit her twice day and
sometimes but three times a week. He
generally went to Miss Williams room
in the evening after 6 o'clock when the
prisoners had been locked up, and when
he would go in her room the door would
be locked.
The witness said she could not see
any one close the door, but could hear
the lock turn, and it would generally be
about twenty minutes until the lock
would be turned back again. Sometimes
Miss Williams would come out of the
room while Chase was there dressed in
her working clothes, and sometimes she
would come out dressed in d loose wrap
per and in her stocking feet.
The witness said she could see the
tower gate from her room and could see
Chase every time he came into the fe
male department Miss Williams would
frequently walk with him back to the
tower gate and some times she would
flock her arm in his, but she did not re-
member ever having seen him take Miss
I Williams nv the arm

TRAMPS RULE TWO TOWNS.
Nearly 600 of Them Terrorize BivaIve
and Port Norris.

MILLvILLE, N. j., April 3-Nearly six
hundred tramps, who are unable to OBJ
tain work on the oyster boats, have taken
possession of the towns of Bivalve and
Port Norris. The township authorities
are unable to cope with them. 1t may
become necessary to call upon the sheriff
of Cumberland county to drive the des-
peradoes away.
The men were brought here to find
employment during the oyster planting
season which has just opened and which
will continue until June.
They are made desperate by hunger
and are SO bold that they will enter
houses by daylight and rob them of all
the food they can find. The wives and
daughters of the oyster men, who are
away at work in the day time, are openly
insulted on the streets and in their
homes
At the headquarters of the Riparian
owners the preparations for the expected
advent of the oyster pirates are decidedly
War-like.

WHAT AILs THE PEOPLE 2
The True Cause of Most Physical Troubles
 fAs Made Perfectly Clear

 What are the principal ailments of the American people?"
 This question was recently put by re- porter to pr. Ephains Cutler. whose name stands in the foremost ranks of the medi- cal profession His answer was:
 'BT1ght's disease"
 The great increase of this fearfubmal- adv is attracting universal attention Everyone is anxious to know how 1t is brought on What causes it, doctor?"
 The physician paused for a few min- utes before replying, and then said: T can best explain that by a very simple Illustration, Anyone who eats beafsteak knowssw what is fat and what is lean Now ! if the muscle of the steak is partially changed to<fat it is called fatty degeil- man body, if the kidney substance changes into fat, it is called 'Bright's s disease. Brfght's disease is Atty degen- eration and not one person in twelve is free from some form of kidney or liver disease"
 May ask ifsthere is amy cure of these complaints?" the reporter inquired. E "YesY replied the doctor ,"there is if people will only take the right remedy at the right time. As a rule, tits only when they break down, lose appetite, find their complexions sallow constant white coating on the tongue, and infiamed eyes that they suspect anything is wrong American genius has found 1t possible to arrest diseases of the liver and kidneys and to positively cure Bright's disease. The discovery of Warmers Safe Cure has been god-send. to the world. There are thousands of men and women who are alive today and are kept in health en- tirely through it's use. This fact is now known and admitted by physicians in every portion of the globe"
 The words of the doctor are true and they demand the serious considerat tion of everyone who reads these lines. Brights disease is undoubtedly. the most alarm comes without warming, has few symp- toms of it's own, but shows the signs of almost all other complaints. Any man or woman who is at all "out of sorts should not hesitate, for it Is a well-known truth that delays are dangerous
