therefrom Mr. Box, however, of his
own accord, generously released General
Harrison from paying hira any royalty,
for the reason. as he states, that by the
publication of the articles by General
Harrison the subscription list OF his
magazine was enlarged many thousands
The profits to THE LADIES' HOME jour-

nothing further. General Harrison placed
the disposition of his book in Mr.. Box S

from the Scrlbners, and to them Mr.. Box
gave the book for his distinguished con-
tributor. General IIarrison's revision OF
the book has Just been completed, and
the volume will appear in the autumn.

TO CHANGE ARIZONA'S LINE
Unique Mission of Two Utah Dele
gates to Phoenix.

Phoenix Ariz., Feb. 26.-Present in
Phoenix are two commissioners with
powers unique in the history Of the ma
tion-delegated by a state of the union
to treat with neighboring political
government for the ceSSion of a portion
of the latter'S territory.
The applicant is the state of Utah and
the territory involved is that lying
within Arizona, north OF the grand can
on of the Colorado.
The region sought embraces about s.,
600 square miles of area. The popula-
ton is shifting for the most part, per-
haps $50 of the residents being perma-
nent The valuation of the property
embraced, as found by the Arizona as
SCISSORS, is about 100000, mainly in cat
tie
AS the region is gashed by many and
great box canOns," water is scarce and
ranches are far apart.
The country sought to be added to
Utah is wholly within the counties of
CocOnino and Mohave, and is visited by
one of the officials of either county per-
hapS once a year. The assessment is
done by deputy and the taxes are paid
promptly, though the people have never
awaited themselves of the privilege of
voting for Arizona officials, and get no
protection, whatever, from the Arizona
Laws.
To arrest and try a criminal in the
northern part of either county would
entail an expense of at least 81. 900, how
ever simple the OffenSe.

SECESSION TALK OVER.
Colorado WillNot Disrupt the League
of American Wheelmen.

Denver, Feb. 25.-The Colorado revolt
in the League of American Wheelmen
is not assuming any startling proper
tions. There are not more than half
dozen members of the Colorado di-
vision that are talking secession and
the general sentiment is that Colorado
should saw wood" There is no ques-
ton of the unanimity of the wheelmen
of this state in considering that they
have a grievance or several of them
but there is also little doubt that a
large majority look upon any PROPOSE
ton to organize a new league and Sc
cede from the L. a. w. as very foolish
at this time. The idea is gaining that
the plan for Colorado to follow is to
keep up the fight within the league
the fight for local option on Sunday
racing and for the admission of pro-
fessionalS to ship-till it's time
comes.
Il should certainly like to see Sunday
racing in Denver said w. w. Hamil-
ton, for my own personal profit.
know it would be popular in Denver.
Crowds go to Sunday performances of
any kind. Hundreds would go to Sun
day races where tens go to weekday
races. We professional racing men
feel that we are treated just the least
bit coldly. We ride in races held IN
der L. A. w. sanction and rules and we
have nothing to say. 1t is a kind of
government without representation"

Obtains Coffee Direct From Planta-
tons.

The British government formerly
brought the coffee intended for the
army direct from the coffee plantations
in Java and the term "Old Govt Java"
is familiar to all.
Mr.. P. NJ. Hanney, now manager of
the grocery department of the great
house of Siegel, Cooper & Co, Chicago,
was located in Java for about nine
years, purchasing coffee for Her MajeS-
tvs troops, and his ability to judge of
the quality and flavor of coffee will
hardly be questioned.
Experts of Tea, Coffee, Tobacco and
the article they judge so keen1y of. In
deed, the reverse is frequently true.
In Mr.. Hanney's family, Postum, the
health coffee made by the Postum Ce
real company, Linn, of Battle Greek,
Mich, is used in place of coffee. The
immediate cause being that the wife
had trouble in digesting coffee and Mr..
H, knowing that the grain beverage
which looks So much like coffee and
which fits the coffee drinkers taste, was
a pure and nourishing drink, introduced
it to his own family with the result that
the old ailments which were directly
attributed to coffee drinking, have ma
terially disappeared.
Proper adjustment of food and drink
means good bodies, clear minds and the
ability to push to the front and make
q success of life, while those vino insist
upon using such dietary articles as they
know check digestion and impair the
health, will lag in the race for prosper
ity The law of the survival of the fit
est is plainly marked

SWALLOWED A DOLLAR.
A Wyoming Mans Feat From Which
He Suffers No Inconvenience.

Denver, Feb. 26.-That dollars loca-
ton remains unsolved. Alexander
Moir of Laramie, Wyo., who by mis-
take swallowed a silver dollar a week
ago and who has been under DR.. Lem
ems treatment at st. Joseph's hospital
for his unusual financial surplus, left
for home last evening. He also took
with him the dollar, not in his purse,
but in that interior seclusion which
nothing but an x ray could illuminate.
Mr.. Moir suffers no Inconvenience
from his unintentional conversion from
a gold advocate to a silver man. DR..
Lemen's parting instructions were that
it might be injurious to his health to
worry because he is a silver man. He
also gave his patient permission to keep
on eating hard boiled eggs, welsh rare
bits, lemon pie or any other indigesti-
BILE thing he chose, barring only a fu-
ture diet of silver dollars. The x rays
will not be turned on his hidden wealth
unless it gives him some annoyance.

PERSONAL TAX UNPAID.
County Board Don't Know How to
Collect It.

The county commissioners are trying
to devise some plan to collect delinquent
property tax. There are over Sc, 900 of
unpaid personal property tax of 1895 on
the books and the board has been check
ing up to find how much of it is collect
ible.
TT is difficult to collect personal
property tax where payment is resisted
for the reason that the property taxed
cannot be sold like real estate upon
which taxes are delinquent. The sher-
iff who goes out on a tour to collect
personal property taxes generally re-
turns empty handed with extra costs to-
be paid by the county.
IAN examination of the lists of per-
sons who are delinquent in personal
property taxes would surprise everyone
and if the list were printed it would
cause a sensation. Some of the best
known people in the city are on the de-
linquent list and the commissioners say
they do not know how the taxes can be
collected. Perhaps after the board has
racked its brains for a few weeks, a
way out will be found

Russia Demands the With

From the Island of Crete Within
Three Days.
GREECE MUST STOP
Before Any Negotiations Can be
Entered Upon for the Future.
England and Italy Are Not Con-
sidered Worth Notice.

ST. Petersburg, Feb. 26.-Russia
through her minister, has requested
Greece to withdraw her troops and ves-
sells from Crete within three days.
The foregoing semi-official announce
ment was accompanied by a long and
involved statement of the motives act
uating Russia, namely: That, to pre-
vent the extension of the revolution to
other portions of the Turkish empire.
imperiling the peace of Europe, a stop
must be put to the action of Greece,
which is in opposition to interna tional
law. Before negotiations for a future
Cretan action can be entered upon, 1t is
asserted, Russia has resolved to restore
order in Crete. Then, after the Greek
evacuation, and the protection of the
powers, an autonomous government
would be instituted under the Suzer-
ainty of the sultan In this policy, 1t
is claimed, Russia is supported by
France, Germany and Austria.
Throughout the entire statement,
neither England nor Italy is mention
ed, but Greece is warned that should
she in blind misconceptiOn of her own
interests, allow herself to be excited by
self-seeking friends to persist in her
present attitude, under the false idea
that the powers are not united, because

GUESTS BACKING OUT.
But Few of the Bradley Martin Ball
Dancers Will Pose in Tableaux
for Charity.

the Madison Square Garden assembly

the boxes, which, it is said she Will oc-
cupy with a party of friends.
The precautions taken to make mys-
terry of the names of those who are to
pose in the pictures has had somewhat
different effect than that intended Curl
osity does not seem to be aroused. 1t was
said yesterday that this is because so few
of the actual Bradley-Martin ball guests
are to pose. In fact the prominent people
connected with the affair are fleeing town
at the approach of Lent Mr.. and Mrs.
John Jacob Aston start for Florida today,
accompanied by Craig Wadsworth. Miss
Alice Blight and others Cornelius Van
derbilt Jr.. has a mild rheumatic attack,
and Mrs. Vanderbilt and others of the
family will probably not be able to take
part in the exhibition of living pictures.
The managers of the st. Mary's Free
Hospital for Children seem to think that a
number of the Bradley-Martin ball guests
would willingly attend, but matters do
not appear to be running smoothly. There
will be a few of the guests on view in the
tableaux in their own costumes. but only
a few, and there will be no minuet or
other dancing on the stage: One of the
boxes taken for Friday night was given
up yesterday, and then purchased by Mrs
Henry Mortimer Brooks.

The use of Paine's celery compound

Writing from his home, University

Shubert said:
Il am brought back to health through
the use of Paine's celery compound,
which I regard as by far he best and
really the only true remedy for nervous
troubles that have ever used. do not
hesitate after my experience and that
of several friends to recommend it for
all forms of nervous troubles. am in
debted to Paine's celery compound for
many a good nights rest, and If it pro-
duces no other effect than this, it is
worth more than money"
Paine's celery compound, upon which
so much praise has been bestowed, and
which the wealthy and those in the
highest positions unhesitatingly endorse
is still within reach of the humblest
family in the land.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1897-02-26

The incalculable amount of good that
Paine's' celery compound is doing in
making sick and even despairing peo-
pie well, should compel the attention of
every judicious person who is out of
health.
The underlying cause of nervous de-
bility, apparent in headaches, dyspepsia,
sleeplessness and neuralgia, is faulty

tenn.

AFTER BIG STORES.
Chicago Republicans to Oppose the
Department Houses.

Chicago, Feb. 26-The Republicans of
Cook county and incidentally of Illinois,
have pledged the party to the support of
bill regulating department stores.
Congressman Lorimer, it is understood,
has urged upon Governor Tanner the alb
solute necessity of the Republicans in the
coming city convention to be held in Chi
cago on Friday of this week-to take some
action on the department store question
They had told Tanner, it is said, that the
Republicans in Chicago were ready to do
this thing.
They said they had control of the con-
vention to such an extent that they could
easily put through resolution pledging
the administration, if the Republicans
elect their city ticket, to support local
legislation looking toward the abolition,
or rather curtailment, of department
While they held the convention we'll in
hand and had no doubt what they could
do with it. they wanted some help from
to take up the matter and in some way
lend aid to the Republican party in Chi
cago on this great question.
The platform which the Business Mems
association will be asked to adopt. reads
as follows:
This organization aims to impress up
on it's members the necessity of concen-
trated cooperation in REFRESHING the evils
OF department stores and others of like
character which may arise by agitation.

The constitution provides for a board of
directors composed of one member from
each subordinate association which sends
delegates to the central body. The di-
rectors Will name an executive committee
of seven, of which the president, record
ing secretary, treasurer, and counselor
shall be members ex-officio.
President Gilman has invited all wOm-
ems clubs and organizations in sympathy
with the crusade against department
stores to send three delegates each to the
meeting. The labor unions expect to send
many delegates.
The Retail Druggists association met at
Handel hall yesterday and arranged for
full representation at tomorrow's meet

Two years ago there was a lot of de-
partment store legislation Senator Moses
Solomon introduced bill and investi-
cation was had into the workings of
these large institutions. Frank H. Cooper
of the firm of Siegel, Cooper & Co., re-
fused to answer certain questions pro-
pounded to him by the committee and
Moses Solomon, aided by others, made a
determined effort to punish him for con-
tempt.
The senate, however, held that it had
no right to investigate into the private
matters of this or any other company or
firm. Cooper was discharged. but Salo-
mon fought for the bills to the very fin
iSh of the session. He got them through

they died on third reading the last day of
the session. Solomon has now been re-
tanned as the attorney for the Retail Deal
ers' association, which is fighting depart

A. Austin of Marion, N. Y, was made a
raving maniac as the result of the haz-

sophomore class CT the University of
Rochester, last Friday night.
Austin is a freshman 10 years old.
Several sophomores gave him severe
pummeling. Tuesday night he went
into the widest state of delirium as
the result of his treatment. He is re-

condition,
