COLONEL WALKER UPHELD.
G. A. II. Committee Stands Firm and
Demands Railroad Concessions.

The following telegram was received last
night from Chicago: Commander Walker
and the executive committee of the G.. A. r.
met to-day to consider the attitude of the
roads of the Western Passenger Association
in refusing TO grant a thirty-day limit on
tickets to the annual encampment at st.
Paul. 1t was definitely decided that IL the
roads refuse the extension the encampment
will not be held in st. Paul, but before Sc
lecting another city it was decided to make
another effort to gain the desired concession.
An appeal was made to Chairman Caldwell,
of the Western Passenger Association, to
call a special meeting for the purpose of
reconsidering the matter.
The chairman promptly sc mt out a circular
to the roads and will call the meeting If
two or more reads express desire that he
should do so. Under the association agree
ment he cannot call a meeting unless re-
ouested by at least two roads.
liz the meeting is not called, the executive
committee will move the encampment, in
all probability, to Buffalo.
There is strong opposition among many
of the roads 10 meeting the low rate made
by the 500 line for tie encampment. The
roads say they were aware of the intention
OF the 500 line to put in a rate OF cent per
mile when they made the rate they now
ton of the 500 line ,gil not cut great fig
ure with them. The chief objection however,
remains before-the roads are afraid of
the generalization that may result IL they
grant the extended time limit asked by
Commander Walker.

ON EVEN GROUND.
Chairma nship Contest Seems to BE
Even Closer than Supposed.

The contest for the Craftsmanship OF the
Republican State central committee is still
the sole topic of conversation wherever
politics is discussed. Even the Democrats
have thrown aside all else and talk of this
one all-absorbing question. There has been
no change in the situation during the last
twenty-four hours except possibly to define
the lines of preference in some cases a
little more clearly From the statements Of
eight of the new committeeman, IL develops
that Gowdy and Nebeker each has three
pledged TO support him, while two decline
to state their preference for publication.
OF the other five. it is believed that each
candidate has a pledge from one, while the
other three are noncommittal. This seems
to narrow the contest down to almost even
ground, with three men holding the decision
in their power.
George McCulloch, of Muncie, whom the
Times, Of that city, named as a candidate
for the craftsmanship. has stated that under
no circumstances could he afford to accept
1t, on account of his large business inter-
ests, which would suffer by his neglect.
Mr.. McCulloch is connected with the Mum
Gle street-cGr system and gives most of his
time to the active management of that
business.

The Use of Hot Water.

Its uses are so varied that they will de-

For headaches of all kinds, hot water will

A cupful of hot water taken before break

keeping the system in a good condition.
A hot bath taken frequently keeps the
skin in an excellent condition, and is an
infallible cure for WEAKNESS.

down relax every muscle and make up
your mind TO sleep.
Abstinence from food for a whole day,
and drinking cop.ouS drafts of hot water,
will be of benefit in cases Of chronic con-

No family should be without two or three
hot-water bags. The first cost is nothing

insure. For taking to bed with you of

is 1T PERSECUTION


Yesterday morning in the Police Court the
cases against T. K. Igoe and Others for
maintaining slot machines, were called, and
on the failure of the defendants to appear
their bonds were forfeited. Behind this
there is question of justice that is causing
considerable comment. To go back to the
beginning, when the fight was begun against
the slot-machine men they announced that
they would secure an opinion from their
attorney and would abide by it. When this
opinion was rendered it was against them
and they Immediately called ON Superin-
tendent Colbert and informed him that they
would discard the machines. At the same
time he was asked to stop the prosecution
of the cases then pending. He told them
that he would do what he could, but that
the matter was out of his hands. He sent
Captain Quigley to the Police Court to ask
that the cases be continued. The reason for
this action was that he thought the law
had been fully INDICATED and that the OBJ
ject of the prosecution had been gained.
When the cases were reached on the
docket yesterday morning the bonds were
forfeited with no effort being made to Sc
cure the attendance of the parties con-
agreement to discard the machines the
cases would be dropped. This action on the
part OF the court has caused considerable
comment. Drs Milburn and Sims have
both said, since the decision of the ma
chine owners was announced, that
they thought the matter should be
dropped. DR.. MilDurn, it is said, remarked
on the street few days ago that he
thought the owners of the machines had
showed that they are not men who are dis
posed to defy the law, but simply stood
for what they supposed TO be legal, but
when they found that il was not were
willing to quit. and that now the authorities
should be satisfied to drop the matter. Dr.
Buchtel has expressed the same opinion.
The case against Harris, who was charged
with gambling on one of the machines
was continued indefinitely.
Judge McCray says that the slot-machine
cases pending in the Criminal Court will
come up in their turn regardless of the
opinion of Albert j. Beveridge. The de-
PENDANTS, the court says, can come into
court and have the cases disposed of if
they desire.
1.-The primary object of the law" he con-
tinued, lis reformation, the secondary OBJ
ject is example, and ii is usual for the court
to deal more leliently with cases where
the first principle only is involved. A dis
position the part of the slot-machine
men TO obey the law would certainly stand
in their favor"
Prosecutor Wiltsie said that he did not
understand that the slot-machine men were
trying TO evade the law. They simply
questioned its validity, and, finding it to be
operative, would be willing to quit.

Shirt Waists.
Harper'S Bazaar.

todZdT.
The dear girl readers of the Bazaar who
have entreated it to keep shirt-waists in
fashion," forgetting that the Bazaar merely
chronicles the fashions without making
them. may possess their minds in peace.
The large shops are already displaying on
their counters new cotton waists for the
spring and summer of 1896. One great retail
store is known to have bought $500 waists
of single favorite cut, with probably twice
as many more Of other styles. Madras, silk
gingham zephyr grass linen, batiste and
percale the fabrics of these popular gar
ments, and they are in solid grounds OF
quaint colors or dotted, or else in checks
and stripes. The chintz lowered waists that
women of fashion adopted last year, the
designs like foulards, are also occasionally
seen. Those with buff ground, strewn with
roses, were lovely last summer with light
colored skirts of covert cloth. but are not
effective with black skirts. Turn-down col
lars of linen or of the fabric of the shirt
will rival the standing collar, and the cuffs
are cut to match. Ecru linen batistes,
English holland and the familiar grass linen
will be more useful for shirt-wasts even
than last year. They are more refined look
ing, are capable of being semi-dress, if well
made, do not show soil, and are generally
becoming. The new grass linens have stripes
of color woven in, or else there is an all
