UNDERWEAR.

It may seem to be a useless sugges- tion to advise people about their un- derwear, but every one to their taste, as the old lady said when she kissed the COW. Gents balbriggan underwear at half price and French balbriggan at that, may not be suggestive to some people, a Maricopa Indian for instance, and many of them who would eagerly take advantage of any poor merchant who made such an offer Alkires are making just this kind of an offer be- cause they have too much underwear and then they rather like to be taken advantage of, anyhow.

MADE FROM NIGHTMARES.
Methods Used by Artists Who Design
 Popular Grotesque Posters.

Popular Grotesque Posters.
 People who dine late at night in a certain uptown restaurant may have noticed well-dressed. wild-eyed. hag- gard-faced, dyspeptic man devouring night after night with apparent relish dishes which only the ultra brave have courage to eat more than once month. That man is an artist, says the New York World, and eating indigestible food is a part of his business, for he is a maker of posters. Since the use of grotesque posters. built on the lines of Aubrey Beardsley's phantom fan cies and on the principle of Chimpanzee Johanna's savage sketches. has become general as means of advertising news papers it is no more than right that signs are conceived.
 The case of this wild-eyed, haggard- faced, dyspeptic artist alone will be cited. His may or may not be the method used by all the better poster makers. Every night he goes to this uptown restaurant, eats welsh rab- bit, cold broiled lobster, two cream rolls and a dish of ice cream and drinks q quart of cheap claret. Then he goes home, drinks two glcsses of ice water. retires and the nightmare does the rest. In the morning he Z tches the hor- TOTS he saw in his dreams and finishes them as the orders for posters pour in. He is making fortune in the business.

LACK OF ORDER.
The Chinese Deficient in Military System
 and Discipline.
'scraper.

and Discipline.
 The Chinese are an untidy race, whose cities in their native country are frightfully unclean, and whose special quarters in our cities are apt to afford anxiety to boards of health. The Jap anese, on the contrary, are extremely cleanly, orderly and neat; and one of the stories told of Chinese soldiers in the present war tends to show that this difference has played no small part in determining victory or defeat.
 The Japanese are armed with mod ern weapons, of which they take ex- cellent care, and which they handle with skill and efficiency. A lady writ ing from China says that the Chinese troops are provided with curious va riety of European arms, obsolete, ancient and new; and that cartridges for perhaps twenty different makes are all served out together.
 In Manchuria she actually saw cart ridges piled carelessly on the ground, mot in boxes, but lying in great heaps like potatoes and short, fat and thin, all mixed together, and soldiers fitting them to their guns, trying them, and throwing away those which were too large or too small"
 No wonder the Chinamen do not stand before the Japanese. As soon as the cartridges each man happens to carry are exhausted he can only de- pend on one chance in twenty of get ting any more that he can use. He sell dom waits that chance; he runs, and throws his useless rifle promptly away that he may run the faster.-London Spectator.

4 Risky Feat.

The Northwest Magazine says that in running a steamboat from Rainy Lake river to Rainy Lake, in northern Minnesota, the craft was compelled to plunge over falls ten feet high. With the force of the current and the full head of steam the steamboat shot out of the water full length, exposing the whole boat bottom, keel, wheel and
 rudder, and then dropped into the boil ing, swirIing water below the falls. The current was swift, strong and tortuous, but, luckily, the captain guided his craft safely into quiet water.

MAJ. ANDERsON's VICTORY
what Capt. johnson and Maj. Ander-

Results.

What Capt. johnson and Maj. Ander-
SON Have TO Say About Saturdays
Results.
Major T. j. Anderson is the choice of
the Republicans of Shawnee county for
delegate at-large to the national Repub-
lican convention at St. Louis and for
national committeeman.
This choice was expressed at the pri-
maries Saturday afternoon when Ander-
son delegates were elected from four
wards out of the five in the city and from
a few country precincts giving him
majority of the delegates entitled to seats
in the county convention Wednesday.
Judge J. B. Johnson carried the Sec
ond ward and almost all the country pre-
cincts but Major Anderson has 81 out of
139 delegates elected and his friends will
control the county convention.
Judge j. B. Johnson said this morning:
"This is the first time / was ever de-
feated before the people, but l don't be-
lieVe | could have been defeated at a
time when l would have less reason to
regret it than now. Ever since I went
into this contest | have regretted my ac-
ton because my business has suffered
and the Office after it is obtained at a loss
of time and money is simply a position
of honor and l am satisfied that l am out
of the contest
4Om AnQ9FSOn mas won the shawnee
county delegation and hope my friends
in this county will give him their loyal
support. l have no sore spots on me
and hope from now on to stick to a
resolution l made some time ago. That
Is to keep out of politics. By that /
mean as candidate for office. l shall
continue as 1 have for twenty years to
get out and take part in the campaign
in the state in the interest of the party
but hope to be able to keep out of poll
itics as a candidate, hereafter. l want to
thank my friends for their loyal support
and feel worse over my defeat on their
account than on my own"
What Major Anderson Says.
Major 7. j. Anderson, the successful
candidate who will go to the state con-
ventlOn at Wichita next Tuesday with
the solid support of the Shawnee delega-
ton, said today: 81 feel greatly gratified
that my friends stood by me in this
contest and that it has been a victory,
did not get into the contest on my own
solicitation, but was pulled into it by my
friends. l believed then that the peti-
me to be a candidate represented the
Republican sentiment of Topeka, and I
still have reason to think so.
"Of course this means that l am going
to be the candidate to beat Cy Leland,
and l am going to beat him. l am re-
ceiving strong support from all over the
state, and am satisfied that l will not only
be elected delegate at large to the ma
tional convention but will be elected ma
tional committeeman when the time
comes"
The STATE JOURNAL congratulates the
Republicans of Shawnee county on hav-
ing made their selection with as little ILL
feeling as has been displayed. Some
over Jealous partisans had a mistaken
notion that mud-slinging would help
matters No doubt they are now glad so
little of it was done.

NEW POLICE CHIEF.
A Struggle for the Place Which May
Not he Settled.

A Struggle for the Place Which May
Not he Settled.
The question oflwho will be chief Of
police may be settled at the meeting of
the commissioners tonight.
Captain Gardiner is now acting chief
and will continue to do so until a sue
cessor to Chief Wilkerson is named. The
two leading candidates are Capt. Gardi-
ner aud Sergeant Ellison. Commissioner
Holiday is strongly in favor of Ellison
while Commissioner Foster is in favor of
Gardiner. Dr. McCabe, the other COM
missioner, seems to be undecided and
the supporters of both men are doing
their best to secure his vote.
1t is said that delegation has been to
DR.. McCabe in the interests of
Ellison and have promised the support
OF the Masonic lodges and the society of
Elks for his son Arthur who is seeking
the nomination for county attorney if he
would vote for Ellison for chief.
Another story is that deleg ration today
waited on the governor to request him to
issue his pronunciamento to the
commissioners that they must name
Ellison for chief. No such
orders had been received by the commits
sioners, however, up to noon.
President Foster was somewhat excited
when told of the rumor that d delegation
had waited the governor. "If it is
true" said he, "that the governor is going
to take a hand and dictate the appoint
ment of chief of police l will resign"
The scene at the commissioners meet
ing Saturday evening was rather an ex-
citing one in which President Foster and
Commissioner Holiday were the princi-
pals President Foster said that it was
essential that a man should be selected
for chief of police who would not only
enforce the law, but who was a friend of
the law. He said that he wanted to see
a man elected who did not drink liquor.
Commissioner Holiday retorted that
Chief Wilkerson was not friend of the
law and was in fact resubmissionist.
The argument became heated when
suddenly Commissioner Holiday was
seized with a severe tit of cramps and he
asked that the matter might go over
until tonight and that he be excused
from the meeting.
The fight for the position may result
in a compromise, and in that case it is
probable that Lieutenant Il. III. Philips,
of Battery B, will be elected. Lieu
tenant Phillips has not applied, but in
accept the position in case it is rendered
him. he said that he would take the
place.
Ex-Commissioner Bonebrake is in IA
vor of the election of Lieutenant Phillips
and President Foster would also favor
his election as compromise.
Of course John Gardiner is the right
man for the place, but the detestible way
we have of mixing up politics with every
thing that is done in Topeka's city affairs
may prevent him from being chosen,

THE Capital" AFTER 1T.

Seeks to Have the State Printing
Transferred From the ssMaII.''
Editor Mulvane of the Topeka Capital
is making an effort to induce the state
executive council to make his paper the
official state paper.
Arthur Cappers paper, the Mail and
Breeze, is now the official state pa
per but the law requires the executive
council to designate an official paper
from year to year and the term for which
the Nail was designated will expire
April 1.
The election of an official state paper
will take place on the last Wednesday in
March and Editor Mulvane is now using
every influence he can bring to bear to
have the Mail thrown overheard by the
administration and have his paper made
the official organ of the state house once
more.
He is more particularly anxious about
official patronage, it is said, because of
the prestige it will give him in finding a
purchaser for the paper.
1t is not expected that Editor Mulvane
will allow anything harsh to be said
about any member of the executive coun-
Gil in the columns of his paper until the
new official paper has been selected.

THERE'S ONE BABY
In Topeka that Arrived ON February
29th, but It's Identity is a Secret.

In Topeka that Arrived on February
29th, but HIS Identity is a secret.
All babies born on last Saturday, Feb
ruary 30, will not have a birthday until
they are eight years old.
The lot of these youngsters-victims
alike to retrograding equinox aud Pope
Gregory's method of intercalcation-
is indeed pitiful.
For eight long years they will exist
without knowing the delights of that
day which is held in loving remembrance
by the more fortunate members of the
human family. The poor little dimpled
darlings truly occupy a most unenviable
position.
The reason why children born on leap
year day, 1895, get the double cross twice
over is due to a peculiar twist the wise
Pope Gregory had to make in reforming
the Julian calendar to purge it of error.
AS the solar year is longer than 800
days errors kept creeping in until Julius
Caesar Strengthened things out But he
in turn being little short on astronomi-
cal lore left loop hole for error. His
year was too long by II minutes and IA
seconds. The result of this was that
while the vernal equinox came on March
% in Caesars time it occurred on March
81 during the Council of Nice in 325.
When Gregory reformed the calendar in
1852 it had refrigerated to March II.
To restore the equinox Pope Gregory
XIII, suppressed ten daye, and as the
error of the Julian liberalization was
found to amount to about three days in
400 years, he ordered the intercalcations
to be omitted on all centenary years ex-
cept those which are multiples of 400.
Thus 1900 was leap year, but 100, 1900
and 1900 are common years and 1900
will be leap year.
And that's why parents of youngsters
born Saturday can't really promise them
a birthday anniversary until 1904.
In Topeka but one baby was born on
Saturday, and that baby is not only the
victim of fate but also the victim of sup
preston, DR.. Mitchell steeled his heart
to the tears of the reporter and refused
to state who the youngster was.
This conduct on the part of DR..
Mitchell was the result of request made
by the parents. who undoubtedly have
in view 4 plan to shift the date
of the child's birth one day
back, and fearing that their pride
and Joy might discover at some future
time through the columns of the jour
NAL that he or she was without birth
day. desired such information suppressed.
There were babies on the day before
and the day after February 90, but only
one on that day in this vicinity, and its
parents want the fact kept secret.
There is little girl at the home of
George w. Clark, judge of the appellate
court who arrived early this morning.
No doubt she deferred her advent on
purpose to avoid the goth of February.

been an invalid for several years, during
which she has tried all kinds of RENE

last week it was thought she could live
but few days.
From hour to hour she grew weaker
until she could not speak above whis-
per and was supposed to be dying.
She was taking leave of her family,
and had extracted a promise from Mr.
Shenck that he would reform. Then she
said:
''Yes, William, you promise that now,
but after l am gone you will forget it
and drift into your old habits. 1 want
you 10 turn now" Then she raised up
in her bed and in a clear voice she said:
william, God wants you to pray"
He said he couldn't do that.
"But God says if you will pray for ne

But he persisted he could not.
But she insisted and finally the little

might go into .Ruokher room and pray, he

menced to shout saying she was healed.
The neighbors came running in think
ing something had happened and she
continued to shout. Her voice which
could not be raised above a whisper
an hour previously was raised to full
strength.
In the evening a prayer meeting was
held at her house and she remained up
till II o'clock, talking and rejoicing.
