Managers are an ill-used race; they
have a bad name which they do not al
ways deserve Considering all things.
it is small wonder that their tempers
are occasionally short; the wonder
rather is that they are as good fellows
as they are. / remember, in my salad
days, asking an actress of some ex-
perience what sort of folk managers
were to deal with. my dear" she
said, impressively, they're angels if
you're making money for them, and
they're the very devil if you aren't. -
However this may be, they certainly
are not, as is so often represented, i'm
pervious to or jealous of rising talent
Like the equally maligned race of
publishers and editors, they are quite
awake to the value of good thing
when they find it. So many people
7abble with the stage nowadays. with
no intention of taking it up seriously,
that no wonder managers are apt to be
sceptical of genius in the bud.-Mac-
millan's Magazine.

topeka, Kan, Feb. 5.-As the result
of harmonious session last night the
republican state central committee
called the state convention to meet at
Wichita on Tuesday, March 10 A full
committee was present, and all were
original committeeman with the ex-
eeption of two proxies and two cleo
tons by the committee to fill vacancies.
Without any preliminaries. vote was
taken on the place of holding the con-
vention, there being but two towns in
nomination, and the first and only
ballot resulted as follows: Wichita, Is;
Hutchinson, II.
The question of date drew out con-
sidera bic discussion. Chairman Leland
suggested that the date be fixed upon
March 10, as that was the date set by
Ohio for her state convention, and he
would like to have Kansas, which was
just as enthusiastically for Mckinley
as his home state, send greetings to the
Ohio convention. Other dates were Of
fered by various delegates and the roll
was finally called, each delegate NAM
ing the date he preferred. The second
ballot resulted: April Is, 8; March 10,
IS; March 10, 8. This gave majority
to Chairman Leland's date and the Sc
lection was made unanimous.
It was decided that the state conven-
ton should elect six elegates-at-large
to the national convention and nomi-
nate three electors; but the nomination
of congressman-a t-large will be left
until the convention which will nom
mate state officers. The convention
will consist of 610 delegates.
Just before the full committee adj
journed a vote was taken on the presi-
Dental preference of the members, re-
sulting: Mckinley, 30; Reed, 2; ALI
son, l. One delegate refused to vote.
1t was decided to hold conventions
for nominating candidates for appel
late court judgeships as follows: West
ern division, n,rrth ern department, at
Oakley, April %; eastern division,
southern department, at Chanute, April
IS; central division, southern depart
ment, at Wichita, March 10; western
division, southern depar tment, at Dodge

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to-
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers.
and permanently curing constipation.
It has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
news, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and ST. bottles, but it is man-
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.

A WAR OF DIFFERENTIATION.

Arrest of Captured suspects" Means Their
Death by Spanish Authority.
KEY WEST, Fla, Feb. s. -Evidence is
accum ulating that the Spanish gov
eminent has determined on war OF
determination in Cuba. Advices from
Havana state the government has pre-
pared lists of suspects in nearly every
city in the island, and these lists have
been turned over to the Spanish vol
unteers Ostensibly the volunteers
are instructed to arrest those suspects,
but under the policy Spain has adopted
since the recall of Campos, the word
''arrest" is almost synonymous with
murder.
The Spaniards are also combining
robbery with murder. Last Friday
Enrique Fernandez, a wealthy citizen
of Pinar del Rio, fearing the insur-
gents, fed to the capital of the prov
ince, taking with him $14, 600 in cash.
When Fernandez reached the capital
he was arrested as a suspect and put in
prison by the Spaniards. The next
morning Fernandez was found dead,
with knife thrust IN his heart. The
Spanish authorities claim he committed
suicide, but other prisoners say the un-
fortunate man was murdered and
robbed by order of the authorities.
Stories like the above are common in
Havana and we'll authenticated.

LANDS OF THE FIVE TRIBES

Another Right-Of-Way Bill Introduced in
the House by Mr.. Murphy.
WASHINGTON, Feb Representative
Murphy, of Illinois, is the father of
another right-of-way bill, the bene-
ficiary being the Kansas, Oklahoma &
Galveston Railroad Co., and the route
may be anywhere in a general north
and south direction through the lands
of the five tribes and through the
Usage reservation in Oklahoma. The
right of way proposed to grant is 100
feet wide and more if necessary, with
800 feet wide and 5000 feet long every
ten miles for stations, or nearer if
business demand. In lieu of taxes for
ever, the road wants to pay $50 mile
annually to the tribes through which
the line is located, this to include
branches and side tracks. To meet the
presidents objection it is provided the
consent of the Indians to the building
of the road must be obtained and a
map OF definite location fled. No lands
can be acquired by purchase without
the consent of the United States.
