GOING BACK ON ALFALFA.
Farmers Say that the New Glover is
Injurious.

Wichita, March 31.-G. w. Carnan, a
prominent stOckman and feeder of
Marion county, was in Wichita yester-
day on business. In conversation with
cattlemen and farmers from two or
three surrounding counties he said that
his observation was that cattle did bet
ter in the long run on most anything
else than alfalfa.
He said that after a winters feeding
on this grass cattle would be slow and
clumsy in action and appear to have a
very placid appetite. He could not e.
count for it, but had discarded it for
his own use, and knew of several others,
especially in the western part of the
state, who had done the same thing.
Most of the men in the crowd nodded
assent to Mr.. CarnanS conclusion and
none of them offered a different opin-
ion or an explanation of the matter.

TULIP A DECEIVER.
Is in Full Bloom in the Park but
Steam, Not Spring, Has Forced 1t

Is in Full Bloom in the Park but
Steam, Not Spring, Has Forced It
New York, March 31.-Spring seemed
to have arrived in spite of the chilly
wind, in Central park yesterday, if the
tulip bed on the northeast side of the
arsenal could only have been trusted
as a herald of the new season.
That tulip bed is a gay deceiver. All
over the bed the spear-head leaves of
the plant were showing for two and
three inches. Just at the corner OF
the old building there was bright red
flower, and several partly opened buds
were clustered near it. That was what
made it look like spring in that neigh
bOrhoOd. But it was noticeable that
the beds on the other side of the build
ing were not so far advanced. The
reason why this particular bed could
make such a brave show was that a
lot of steam pipes connecting the res
taurant house just across the asphalt
walk with the main building lie just
about two feet below the surface OF
the ground.
The heat from these pipes had
forced" the tulips, as the gardeners
say, and given them an immense ad-
vantage over the less favored tulips
that were doing their own growing, all
by themselves, around the corner of
the building.

WHISKEY KILLED HER
AS Shown by an Inquest Over the Re
mains of Miss Isabella Murphy.

London, March 31-A large crowd of
curious people attended the funeral to-
day of Miss Isabella Murphy, youngest
daughter of the late Daniel Murphy,
the California millionaire An inquest
upon the remains was held yesterday
and a verdict was rendered setting forth
that her death was due to disease
caused by chronic alcoholism.
One of the sisters of the deceased
has been enormously said to be the wife
of Viscount WoIseley, the commander
in-chlef of the forces. Lady Wolseley
was a Miss Erslxine. The two sisters
of Miss Murphy, however, married Eng
lish baronets and a third sister is the
wife of a secretary of legation at Paris.
The late Miss Murphy has willed her
fortune, said to amount to $500, 900, to
a Catholic priest, Father Mullen, at
whose house she lived. Her relatives
have decided to contest her will.

WOULD LIKE
To Claim the Benefit ifTrue.

A gentleman stated that he had a
gentle running off at the bowels shortly
after leaving off coffee and starting in
the use of Postum Cereal
The makers would not object to
claiming so desirable feature for Post
UNI Cereal if the claim could be sustain
ed, for there is nothing will do an old
coffee drinker so much good as a free
action of that sort.
But unfortunately Postum cannot be
depended upon to produce this result,
as il is composed only of grains, and
has no effect except as a very nourish-
ing liquid food.
The fact is that coffee tends to con-
gest the liver and prevent its free work
ing
Therefore if a coffee drinker will quit
the use of it, frequently the congestion
will be relieved and the accumulation of
bile will pass off and clean out the bow
els. Then continue the use of Postum
and keep well. It is pure food drink
and is nourising and fattening. A pack

NO DEPARTMENT YACHT.
Secretary Long Will Not Use the Dol
phin as Pleasure Vessel.

Washington, March 31.-Secretary
Long has recently informed the com
mander of the Dolphin that he will
have little use for the vessel this sum-
mer and that he has no idea of utiIiz-
ing the ship for the customary in
spection trips" along the Atlantic sea-
board.
Since returning from the blockade of
Charleston the ship has not moved
from her mornings at the navy yard
here. She is under orders to remain
here until the middle of April and then
sail for New York, where she will take
part with the North Atlantic fleet in
the Grant monument exercises. Sec
rotary Long has informed several
friends who have asked him if he would
cruise in the Dolphin this summer that
he had no idea of making any undue
use of the ship, although he might go
on her from New York to Newport for
an inspection of the war college.

ing of the Republican members of the
committee held last night. The sub
committee, consisting of Representa-
tiveS Grosvenor of Ohio. TaWney of
Minnesota and Dalzell of Pennsylvania,
which was authorized to report upon
the proposition, presented an amend
ment which they had written and their
colleagues instructed -Grosvenor to
effect the amendment and there is no
doubt it will be adopted.
The substance of the amendment fol-
lows:
That the duties imposed by the bill
shall be enforced and collected on all
goods imported subsequent to April Is
and prior to the passage of the act. 1t
creates a lien upon the goods thus i'm
ported for the amount of the duties i'm
posed and also makes the importer and
the person in whose possession the
goods may be found, if a merchant or
carrier, liable for the duties. 1t also
requires customs officers to retain sam
pies of imported goods to the end that
the evidence of Identification NAV be
preserved. 1t provides for bringing
suits to recover the duties both against
importers and wholesale merchants and
gives to circuit courts of the United
States full and complete Jurisdiction
to hear and determine such action and
to enforce the judgments. The members
of the sub had investigat ted
the question of the conStitutionality of
the proposition personally and had Sc
cured the opinions of able lawyers,
among them the attorney general of
Ohio. When they presented to their
colleagues and authorities on which they
propose to sustain the amendment there
was no dissent from their views.
Letters have poured in upon Mr.
Dingley and his colleagues this week
from importers asking what was pro-
posed to be done in the matter. If i'm
pOrterS can place their orders and get
goods through the customs houses be
fore April Is the amendment will not
affect them, but they will be obliged
to take their chances in such attempts.

CONNECTS BUILD ROADS.
The Economy of Keeping Criminals
Employed.

Atlanta, March 31-Convict labor in
road building is being employed in Du-
val county, Florida, and in North Caro-
lima In the latter case Pig cents per
day is said to cover the cost of food
clothes, medical attendance and guards,
as compared with 2S cents per day for
maintaining the same prisoners in Jail
The Duval Good Roads association of
Florida advocates the use of short
term convictS on such work, and makes
the claim that they would in this man
ner pay back some of the money ex-
pended upon them, and they would also
stand a better chance of being called
back to an honest life than if they were
made to associate with more hardened
criminals in prison.

my throat and mouth were full of sores

months. My entire body was covered
with red b1otciles, my hands and feet

condition.
81 felt that I was incurab1e, and
was in great despair, when a friend
recommended S. S. S., stating that it
would certainly cure me. I began its
use, and when had finished the fourth
bottle, began to improve, and by the
time had finished eighteen bottles, I
was thoroughly rid of the disease; of
course, I was not sure that was cured,
but am now convinced, as no sign
of the disease has ever returned for
four years. S. S. S. is the best blood
remedy in the world, and my cure was
due solely and alone to it,
Contagious blood poison is the most
appropriately called the curse of man
kind. 1t has always baff1ed the doc
tors, and, until the discovery of S. S. s.,
was incurable.
For fifty years S. S. s. has been cur.
ing this terrible disease, even after all
other treatment failed. It is Ruaran-
teed purely vegetable, and one thou

to the contrary. S. S. s. never fails

One day last week, while the B. & NJ.
