THE BEST EVIDENCE:

Mr.. G. II. Elliott. the prominent fore
man of the carpenter department of the
Santa Fe yards, Topeka, says: / had
severe case of catarrh as well as dyspep-
STA, and have treated with the physicians
of the World Medical Institute but two
months and have absolutely received
more permanent benefit from it than any
other or all other treatment combined
ever gave me. l can eat almost any
thing. without any distressing results
from eating, and my catarrh is so i'm
proved that | do not know that l had it
at all Their monthly treatments are the
best l ever tried, and recommend it to
everyone suffering from any Chronic
diseases, as these physicians understand
their business.
Mrs. Mary A Loux, 424 Van Buren,
street, who had a severe case of heart
failure that had baffied the skill of all
other physicians on whom she had called
for relief for a number of years, says
that she received more permanent and
satisfactory relief with two months
treatment given her by the physicians of
the Worlds Medical Institute, at 631
Quincy street, Topeka, than she ever re-
ceived from all the treatment she had
ever taken before. Their treatment hit
my case from the start.
MIR. James Tabor of Wakarusa, Shaw
nee county. Kansas, says: l was badly
afflicted with nervous debility and
catarrh. l was cured by the physicians
of the World Medical Institute, 631
Quincy street, Topeka, in three months
and it is certainly permanent l feel at
least ten years younger than before
was treated. l got all l asked for, and
more than | had really hoped for.

that have never been published and will

The statistics show that there is used
in the manufacture of the Royal Baking
Powder more than half of all the cream
of tartar consumed in the United States
for all purposes. The wonderful sale
thus indicated for the Royal Baking
Powder-greater than that of all other
baking powders combined-ie perhaps
the highest evidence of the superiority
of this article, and of its Indispensable
ness to modern cookery.

AS matter of useful information it
may be stated that whenever a cooking

"Royal" should be used. The receipt

How They Vote in Japan.

y property qualification being nec-
essary for suffrage, the volume of
ballots cast is comparatively small,
but the inability to exercise the right
OF suffrage does not interfere with The
excitement of the peasants in Japan
when the election day comes around.
The rich man does the voting: the
poor man does the shouting. In or
der to vote in Japan a man must pay
at least - yen annually as taxes and
show his receipts at the polling places.
They have no ballots like ours, but
register, which makes the elections
absolutely accurate and fOrbids any
doubt of the result. When 4 voter
comes to the polls he is handed
long sheet OF paper upon which he
writes his own name. his residence,
his occupation, the number of his tax
receipt and other statistical informa-
ton. with the names of his candidates.

handwriting and cannot he questioned.
When the result of the election is de-
clared these certificates are filed away
in the county clerks Office and are ac-
cessible to any one.

run for any Office in any district. y

Parliament the people who live at the

Crime Among Animals.

Almost every form and variety of
human crime is to be found among
animals. Cases of theft are noticed
among bees. Buchner, in his ''Psy-
chic Life of Animals. speaks of
tbievish bees, which, in order to save
themselves the trouble of working,
attack wel-stocked hives in masses.
kill the sentinels and inha bitants. rob
the hiIcs and carry off the provisions.
After repeated enterprises of this de-
scriptioa they acquire taste for rob-
companies, which get more and more
numerous, and finally they form reg
ular colonies of brigand bees.
But 1t is still more curious fact
these brigand bees can be produced
artificially by giving working bees Il
mixture of honey and brandy TO drink
The bees soon acquire a taste for
this beverage. which has the same dis
astrous effects upon them as upon
men: they become ill-disposed and ir-
ritable, and lose all desire to work.
and finally, when they begin to feel
hungry, they attack and plunder the
well-supplied hives. There is one
variety OF bees-the Sphecodes-which
lives exclusively upon plunder. Ac-
cord to Marchall, this variety is form
ed of individuals of the Halyetes spe-
cies, whose organs of Indication were
defective. and which have gradually
developed into a separate variety.
living almost exclusively by plunder.
They may thus be said to be an eX-
ample of innate and organic criminal
ity among insects. and they represent
what Prof. Lombroso calls the born
criminals-that is individuals which
are led to crime by their own organic

DEAR SIR:-YOur telegram received,
but so late, that this letter will reach
you about as soon as an answer by
wire.
We have three cases OF smallpox
at present. and have had eight all
told, three of them died and two have
been discharged. There have been no
new cases for several days, and there
is no danger of spread of the dis
ease here. We have it we'll confined
and under control and have so all
along since it made its appearance.
The first case came here very unex-
pectedly. and all the cases that we
have had since are directly traceable
to contact with him before it was sus-
pected he had it. We have compe-
tent Board Of Health, composed of
three reputable physicians and three
business men, who have taken every
possible prccaution since the appear
ance OF the disease to prevent the pos
sibility of its spreading. Persons who
have been exposed are confined, ard
those who have it are in the hospital
and strictly secluded, The city is well
pOliced and guarded against the in
PRODUCTION of the disease from any
infected community. There is not
now, has not been, and | feel sure
there will not be an epidemic of small
pox here. May possibly have one or
two more cases, but if We do it Will be
from persons whoare already confined,
and in whose family it has already
b zen. From them there is not the least
danger OF its spreading.
give you this history of it here at
length, because for some unaccOunta-
BILE reason lperhaps their traditional
disregard for the truth, and pass on
for sensatien) the newspapers have
spread some very damaging reports
about our city in connection with this
matter. will say'there is no reliance,
whatever, to be placed on these publi-
cations, Judging from those | have
read from several points in this part
of the State. | will take pleasure in
giving you true statement of affairs

Big Trade in Bibles.

An Alabama paper says that an
enterprising Yankee book agent is
making barrel of money in Alabama.
He came from Connecticut and has
been selling books chiefly to negroes.
He soon came to appreciate the enthu-
siasm of the negro in matter OF reli-
gion. He found that in all the illus
trated Bibles the pictures of the ang-
els were in white, and he conceived
the idea of having Bible made for
the colored race, filled to Overlooking
with pictures of negro angels. The
books cost him about 81. 10. but he
placed the first large shipment at IS
each, payable $3.50 cash, the balance
in monthly payments. He is selling
the Bibles as fast as he can get them
delivered.

appeared and made the opening argu-
ment for Sedalia. He contended that
the Legislature has the right to SUBJ
nit such an amendment as this and it
would be valid and binding if adopted.
He attacked the decision in the Cali
fOrnia case on which Judge Shackel-
ford relied mainly in his decision. on
the ground that it was not a parallel
case. Mr.. Krauthoff followed for
jefferson City. He denounced the
doctrine declared by Mr.. BCthweIl,
that this ratification by the people
cured any defect in the manner of sub
mitting the amendment, as revolution
airy. He then attacked forcibly every
other contention made by opposite
counsel
He was followed by Mayor Edwin
Silver of Jefferson City, who made an
eloquent plea for this city. The clos
ing argument was made by Judge Ne
Keighan for Sedalia.
A decision is not expected for some
time, for the court will consider the
case carefully before announcing a
decision. The big delegation from
Sedalia did not come. although it had
been announced in the press that it
would be here.

that it occurred at l:l5 p. m.
Early in November Judge Thurman
had the fall which resulted in a Sc

normal health. But he has never rail-

Adjustment of Missouri Land
Grant.

WASHINGTON. D. c., December O.
There has been pending for a lOr g
time an unsettled agricultural land
grant to the State of Missouri. a bill
has been prepared for final adjust
ment of the matter The land grant
act passed in 1862. 1t was to provide
colleges for the benefit of agriculture
and the mechanic arts. Missouri select
ed about 5000 acres along the survey
of the Atlantic and Pacific, now the
St. Louis and San Francisco Rail-
road. That land was supposed to be
more valuable, by reason of the rail
road survey, and it was put to the
State at double minimum price, on
that account. When the road was
built. it departed from the survey.
Much of the land was from six to
fifteen miles off the road, and yet the
State had been charged double value
for it. In 1880 all lands along the
road were reduced from double min
inum to single minimum. Missouri
had 24.590 acres which had been
charged to her as 80, $50 acres.
The bill for adjustment authorizes the
State to select from the Government
lands within Missouri, "a, $50 acres
for the benefit of the agricultural col
lege.

SuGrrgists and the saloon.

DENVER. Colo. December l0.-Un-
der what is known as the wine-room
law number of salOOn-keepers have
been arrested for allowing women in
their places of business. To-day the
Saloon-Keepers Protective Associa-
tion met and decided to make test of
the meaning of the suffrage law. The
claim is made by the attorneys that
the wine-room ordinance is unconsti-
tutiOnal. 1t is argued that since the
Legislature conferred the privilege up
on women to vote and hold office that
they must stand in the law, so far as
their immunities are concerned. on
the same footing as men. From this
it is cOntended that the Legislature
has no right TO frame laws that shall
apply to women that do not apply
equally to men: that the ordinance
prohibiting women in saloons is un-
constitutional. and that the fair sex
have a right to step up to any bar and
stay there as long as the wearer of
skirts desires. Liquor dealers will
assist the defendant saloOn-keepers
with all the funds that are required to
carry the case to a final hearing in the
highest court.
