AMERICANS SORRY. TOO,
BECAUSE of Prince Henry's Death and
Telegraph the Queen.

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-At a meeting of
prominent Americans here today the fol-
lowing resolution was adopted and teie-
graphed to Queen Victoria at Osborne
house, Isle of Wight:
"At an assemblage of Americans it " as
resolved to communicate to your most
gracious majesty that we join in the
sympathy of your majesty's subjects in
respect to his royal highness, Prince
Henry of Battenberg's death.
'TSigned. CHARLES ALVIN GILLIG."
To this message the following answer
was received:
THE queen desires sincerely to thank
you and your fellow countrymen for
their kind sympathy, which her majesty
much appreciates"
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1896-01-23

to work to Illustrate any move which
would add to the strength of the silver
forces.
They pointed out that the admission of
Oklahoma, Arizona and New Mexico
would mean six more silver senators and
three more members of the house. This
would clinch the hold of the silver men
on the senate and add to the large ele-
ment in the house.
The force which eastern men brought
to bear was SO great that it is said Speak
er Reed gave the chairman of the com
mittee on territories to understand that
the admission of new states was not to be
allowed by this congress.
There is no question that the gold men
will do all in their power to prevent the
admission of silver states. This is all the
advocates of Oklahoma's admission have
feared. A man who is here working for
Oklahoma statehood said the other day:
1.-The fact that Oklahoma is for silver
will arouse the opposition of all the east,
and that is all we have TO fear"
The reported dictum of Speaker Reed
seems to realize these fears. So Okla :
homa statehood along with that of Ari-
zona and New Mexico appears to be
doomed because the people are so unfor-
tunate as to disagree with Wall street.

COAL TAKES A DROP.
Cold Weather and Cheaper Coal Come
simultaneously.

All Usage county Goals took drop to-
day as a result of the war on Leaven-
worth coal and the price is now
81. 90 per ton instead of $3.25 and $3.50.
The trouble originated few days ago
when the representatives of the Home
Riverside mine at Leavenworth reduced
the price of their product to $3.50.
Other coal men say that this was done for
the purpose of compelling recognition
and forcing the sale of their coal, which
before had very limited demand.
There was CONSERVATION among the
dealers in Usage comfy coal and for two
or three days the rate was maintained
It has now been decided that the Leav-
enworth rate is to be met and that the
war will continue until the Riverside
mine people take in their horns.

It Extends from a Region East of Chicago
to Central Kansas.
CHICAGO, Jan. ga sleet storm last
night and today has resulted in cutting
off Chicago from telegraphic communi-
cation with all other cities. Owing to
the sleet being formed on the wires they
were rendered practically worthless in
all directions The worst trouble, how
ever, was apparently east and north of
Chicago.
Between this city and the commercial
centers of the east press dispatches and
important telegraph communication
seemed to be practically abandoned.
The embargo on telegraphic commu-
nication at 10 o'clock was about com
plete except through the Postal COM
pany which then had two wires to New
York.

Bacteria and Nervous Diseases,
Another very large proportion of cases
OF nervous disease is due directly or In
directly to the action of different forms
OF bacteria, or disease germs. Nearly
all the forms Of meningitis, or brain
fever. are due to the direct action of
different forms Of bacteria upon the
membranes that cover the brain. Other
forms OF nervous disease are now thought
to be of infectious nature, due to some
specific organism. Others still are due
to the action Of poisons produced by the
germs OF other diseases. There is, for
example, q form Of paralysis which not
infrequently follows diphtheria, which
is due, not to any weakness Of the nerv.
GUS system, but to the action of the diph-
theritic poison upon the peripheral
nerves Similar forms Of paralysis NAV
follow smallpox. typhoid fever, pneu-
monia or influenza. Many Of the dis
eases Of the spinal cord are Of similar
origin. LOcomotor ataxia and general
paresis, two common and fatal diseases.
are in most cases the result Of one Of
these infectious diseases-Dr. Phiiip O.
Knapp in Century.

Bryans Personal Organ, Omaha World Herald, Sept. "a, 1896
Last week at a convention in Council Bluffs there was read a letter
received by r. q. Bell of 1T. Wayne, Ind, and by him given to the
public.
The letter purported to be from an alleged New York banker who
signed himself j. Francis Forsythe.
The editor of the World-Herald had received a western newspaper
containing the letter several days before it was read in Council Bluffs
and before publishing it had instituted an investigation to its anthem
ITCHY. We are now convinced that the ALLEGED LETTER IS A
FAKE.
Mr.. Bell no doubt received it and believed in its gcnuneness, but
we ae unable to find any trace of the alleged banker in Wall street,
and we conclude therefore that Mr.. Bell was imposed upon.
We have abstained from editorial reference to the letter until it
could be looked up. 1t may have been, As some think, a practical
joke played upon M i. Bell by a goldbug friend, or it may have been
a more serious imposition. Whatever it is, however, 1T is NOT
