ONCE AN ILLINOIS SENATOR.
Street-Car Conductor Washington Had

Had a Remarka Career.
Washington Star: I armed by acct
dent that one of the stI ct car conduc-
tors in Washington was formerly
known to me as a member of the state
senate of Illinois. I hunted until
found him and he begged so hard not
to have the matter made known, as it
would injure him in his old home, that
I promised, and then he told me his ex-
periences, which could be made into
column or more of very interesting
reading. He came to Washington soon
after the inauguration of President
Cleveland in 1898. Supplied with strong
letters of Endorsement, he first applied
for a consulate, believing that he would
enjoy foreign travel. Possessed of a
little money and sanguine tempera-
ment, he stopped at frst-class hotel
and made himself popular, as he be-
lieyed, with everyone supposed to have
political influence. It took several
months for him to realize that he was
not going to obtain a consulate, and
then he concluded to accept a position
in one of the departments. The only
one obtainable was that OF messenger.
But too many of his old friends visited
the department, and he resigned, OBJ
tanning a position as street car conduc-
tor. 1t took several months to learn
how to save anything out of his small
wages. but now he has nearly enough
to buy a suit of clothes and return to
Illinois, when he will resign his con-
6uctorship and open a law Office at his
old home, trying to tell no more to his
friends than that he has had a position
in Washington without going into par
ticulars

ABOUT APPENDICITIS
The s5eeessity of Resort to an Opera
ton Questioned

The 9Teeessity of Resort to an Opera
ton Questioned
1t is many long year since so much
unsctentiic and unnecessary butchery
has beea INDUCED in as is recorded in
the treatment of appendicitis in the last
few years, says the New York Ledger.
Severe pain and certain symptoms that
might be attributed to a dozen other
causes are charged to appendicitis and
a continuation of them suggests expert
ments to the minds OF the doctors and
the operating table looms up in the i'm
mediate future as the only hope for life.
There are yet many physicians who in
sist that operations of this sort are ab-
sClutely necessary, but it is a hopeful
sign Of the times that some of the more
conservative and experienced doctors
declare that only in exceptional cases
IS surgery positively necessary. As
simple home treatment several patients
have been Immediately relieved by
drinking large quantities of pure salad
oil. This appears to have a beneficial
effect upon the entire lining membrane
of the alimentary canal; the oil seemed
to spread over the surface, allaying irri-
tation and softening whatever food pro-
ducts may have lodged in the appendi-
cal sac. The ncnsensical theory put
forth by one member of the medical pro-
fession that no infant was properly
equipped for life until by surgical
means it had been deprived of the YER
inform appendix and thus fortified
against future danger is too silly to de-
serve moments consideration. Mil
lions of people have lived and died
without ever knowing that was such
thing, and the proportion of deaths that
can by any possible means be attributed
to this cause is extremely small. Some
day doctors and patients will realize
that a thorough washing out and
cleansing of the interior of the body is
quite as beneficial as the same process
applied to the exterior. It is asserted
by those who have had sufficient ex-
perience to entitle their statements to
consideration that the thorough wash
ing out of the digestive apparatus by
means of tepid water properly purified
would prevent at least half of the dis
eases from which humanity suffers.

A BASE BALL CLUB
Topeka to Have an Independent
Professional Team.
Will Play Three Days Each
Week at Home.
WANT ATHLETIC PARK
Promoters of the Scheme Are
Arranging for the Ground.
Will Play Sunday Games, but
Not in Topeka.

It looks now as though Topeka will
have base ball team next season, and a
good one. People who have had ex-
perience in the game are figuring on a
nine and arranging for the park. AS
soon as the grounds are secured and
other things assured they will be ready
to push it
The team will probably not enter
league, but viii be run independently,
but professionally. In this way it can
secure all the hest days for homo games.
Il will play Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday away from Topeka and
come home for Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday games. Then it will

worth or Kansas City, Kan, for game
on that day. The Saturday game in To-
peka and the Sunday one away from
home will go long ways towards pay

letic park for skating ring will damage
it some, bur, with grading and the ex-
penditure OF little more money, is is De-
lleved it can be made into d tine ball park

STUDY OF THE MOON.
PecuIiarities Noted in Its Appearance
Mt Different Times.

IRREGULARITIES Noted in Its Appearance
ut Different Times.
To the casual observer the motions
OF the moon appear to be exceedingly
whimsical and irregular: If It's place
in the sky is watched it will be found
that it is first north and then south OF
the suns path and that it is sometimes
east and sometimes west of that lumin-
airy. The last two motions are steady
and regular from east to west, carrying
the moon in its endless swing around
the heavens, starting at new moon near
the sun and progressing until at full
moon the whole visible portion of the
sky separates the two bodies. After
this there are two weeks in which the
moon the whole visible portion of the
approaching the sun from the other
side. then, again apparently all of a
sudden, it passes the sun and we behold
new moon" The north and south
motions of the moon are entirely diff
ferent. While performing its endless
journey from west to east there are two
special periods in which it either moves
far northward or takes up its position
low down in the south. In spring the
first motion is north, but afterward the
Der you will note that the full moon oc-
ours at the most northerly point in her
course and in June at the most souther-
". This is why we have most light
from the full moon of winter and least
from that of summer Observations on
these various movements indicate to US
the path which the moon moves about
the earth and also show US that that
body in different parts of its orbit is
a varying distances from the earth
This indicates that the moons path is
rot circle, but an ellipse, having the
earth in one of its foei. The moon be-
ing governed directly and held in posi-
ton by the attract lion of the earth, holds
its primary movements in a path
around our globe, but the attraction en-
ergy of the sun and of the giant Planets,
Y'arhaps in a lesser degree, produces
motions in the moon which may be
summarized briefly as a combination
of the six following movements: % It's
revolution about the earth, ~ it's revo-
luton with the earth about the sun,
90 the vibrating eccentricity of its
orbit, "a the slow, direct rotation in
the Zine of apsides,'' C5) the retrograde
rotation in the line of nodes and (6) it's
on its axis.-St. Louis Republic.

AN INDIAN VARIANCE
A Dakota Chief Takes Bishop Whfpple
and Civilization to Task.
ICHARD OLNEY.
Secretary of State

A Dakota Chief Takes Bishop Whfpple
and Civilization to Task.
Bishop Whipple, Of Minnesota, says
that the Dakota Indians once held a
war dance near a mission house. He
went to Wabasha, the chief, and said:
''Wabasha, you asked me for mission
airy and teacher. I gave them to you, I
visit you, and the first sight is this
brutal scalp dance. I knew the Chip
pewa whom your young men have
murdered. His wife is crying for her
husband; his children are asking for
their father. Wabasha, the Great Spirit
hears his children cry. He is angry.
some day he will ask Wabasha: Where
is your red brother p >" The old chief
smiled, drew his pipe from his mouth
and said: White man go TO war with
his own brother in the same country;
kill more men than Wabasha can count
IN all his life. Great Spirit smiles; says
Good white man! He has my book. 1
love him very much, have a good place
for him by-and-by.' The Indian is a
wild man. He has no Great Spirit book.
kills one man, has a scalp dance. Great
Spirit is mad and says: Bad IndianI I
put him in a bad place by-and-by.
Wabasha don't believe it!''

One Woman,s POKER.

As a matter of fact English sover-
eigns have rarely taken any active part
in politics since George III. s time but
they still could do some very astonish-
ing things if they chose. The queen
could dismiss every Tommy Atkins in
the army, from the omnander-in-chief
to the youngest drummer boy. She
could disband the navy in the same
way and sell all the ships, stores and
arsenals to the first customer that came
along. Acting entirely on her
own responsibility, she could declare
war against any foreign country or
make present to any foreign power
of any part of the empire. She could
make every man, woman and child in
England, Scotland and Ireland a peer
of the realm, with the right, in the case
of the males who are of age, to a seat
in the house of lords. With a single
word she could dismiss any govern
ment that happened to be in power and
could, it is believed, pardon and liber-
ate all the criminals in our jaiIs.
These are a few of the things the queen
could do if she liked; but it is not nee
essary to say that her majesty never
acts in matters OF state except on the
advice of the government for the time
being.-NeW York Recorder.

CHICAGO MAKkEr LETTER

Fnrnished by Topeka Grain and stock Ex-
change. 526 Kansas Avenue.
CHICAGO, Jan. 4.-There was a wild
scramble for wheat at the tap of the bell
this morning and all offerings were quick
IL absorbed and the price bid ED 10 6O15
for the May option before the first rasn
of orders could be executed. Liverpool
cables came strong and one penny high
er, while continental cables all told of
strong markets and higher prices. Ex-
port clearances for the week were
unusually large and good de-
mand for export wheat at the soa-
board. Forty. five cars are reported
taken for export at New York since the
market closed ST. Louis people were
to their long lines and big shorts be-
ginning to cover kept the market in a
nervous state all day.
One or two large traders that have
been prominent buyers of late were good
sellers on the advance, taking profits,
and considerable selling against 'icaIls''
but the market absorbed it in good shape
and the closing was slightly above prices
and nearly a cent above the close
very strong and wheat is gaining
good strength every day. Armour s. Co
and the elevator people own nearly all
the visible supply and ara in shape to
assist in big bull campaign. Corn and
oats experienced their share of the better
feeling and transactions were made at
slightly advanced figures. The closing
was firm and at the top prices of the day.
Cash demand is very good and z good
trade reported at the sea board.
Provisions were strong early with good
buying for local and country orders, bat
afterwards eased off on selling by pack
ers and the local crowd We advise
buying on all good breaks and believe a
good advance is near at hand.

Trouble.

Trouble is the outcome of sin or the
breaking in some way of some of Gods
eternal laws, which were here before
the world was, and he who attempts
to break them or disobey Gods COM
mands will inevitably suffer Trouble
cannot come from that soul that knows
Gods laws and keeps and respects
them, and can only come upon those
who dare to put their wills against
Gods and scorn his teachings and de-
spise His precepts. The only cure for
trouble is Christ, and He alone can
wash our souls of their bloodstains and
save US from trouble-Rev. d. D.

JOHN Is SETTO.
In Which He Is, Knocked Out
by a Goat.
An Exciting Scene at La Sale
Last Night.
FOR HIS INDIGNITIES
The Goat Lights Into" John L.
Sullivan
And Knocks Him Flat in Three
Rounds.

CHICAGO. Jan 4-John L Sullivan
has been knocked out for the second time
in fair fight. It happened at LaSalle,
ILL.,, last night Sullivan and Paddy
Ryan are travelling with a dramatic
company, another member of which is a
large billy goat named Dan.
Sullivan had great delight in banter
ing the goat and watching the frantic
efforts of the latter TO resent it. John
would slap Dan, pull his whiskers, and
offer other indignities that fairly drove
his goatship insane with rage When
he could think of nothing worse Sulli-
van would turn him over on his back,
where the goat would lie helpless, his
spreading horns preventing him from
turning over.
Dams feeling toward the ex champion
became such that he would snort with
rage at the very sight of the ex-champion.
But his day of reckoning came When
the show was at La Sale, Sullivan was
seated in dressing room, near the stage,
putting on his shoes when the door open
ed, and Dan, who was standing near by,
tied to the wall as usual got a glimpse Of
him. The goat made a plunge and
snapped the rope. Before Sullivan
realized that he was in any danger Dan
had struck him with the force of
trolley Car, and the big fellow was
knocked into heap in the corner of the
room.
Sullivan tried to rise. and the goat gave
him another butt so hard that the big
pugilist couldn't even fall He Just lay
on the floor and gssped. A member of
the company walked in at that moment
and Dan gave him one in the stomach
that laid him out. Sullivan had by this
time regained his wind and he le. out q
series of lusty bawis for help that
brought enough reinforcements TO sub
due Dan.
Sullivan for a time was wild with
anger, and nothing short of the murder
of the goat would satisfy him. He final
~ changed his mind, however, aud now
says that Dan can whip any goat on
earth and he is ready to back him
