Talk in the Reichstag of Retaliation

Berlin, May an the reichstag
Count Won Kanitz, the Agrarian leader
interpellated the government IN the
subject of the proposed new United

The industry most prejudiced is the
German sugar trade. We should not

preference to Russian against Aneri-

A GROWING NUISANCE.
Carrying on the Street Cars of Persons
Arrested by the Police.

Patrolman Campbell. who is a broth
er-in-law of ex-GOv. L. D. LewelIing,
yesterday made an arrest in North To
peka and took his prisoner to the south
side in an electric ear, making the lat
ter pay his own fare.
Chick Markham was arrested on
warrant charging him with disturbing
the peace of North Topeka. PatrOlman
Campbell boarded Lowman Hill car
with his prisoner and rode across the
bridge and to Fifth street with him.
When the conductor went in to collect
fare from Markham, he objected to pay
ing it, saying he was a prisoner, and
that the officer should settle that. He
finally produced a nickel and settled the
difficulty
Patrolman Campbell all this time was
on the car platform closely eyelng his
prisoner.
The conductor supposed Markham
had been arrested for drunkenness. The
patrol team was in the stable at the
time ready for use.
There ought to be an ordinance pro-
hibiting the carrying of arrested per
sons to the police station on the street
cars. This is another innovation by the
present police board.

STEREING'S PHONES.
Has the Only Automatic System in
Existence.

Sterling, May 4.-This city has the only
working system of automatic phones in
existence and the system is now COM
pleted and in good working order. There
are 56 phones in operation.
The system is covered with proper pat
Ents and is the product of the brain of a
young Swede from Chicago, who has been
in Sterling. working on the matter since
1891. He came here and laid his patents
before some of the citizens and aid he
knew it would work if tried. They back
ed him so that he has been able to get
his system put in and his mechanism
completed and it has done quite as well
Gss it was claimed it would and has given
the most perfect satisfaction.
The calling of a number is done by
turning the indicator on dial to the re-
quired number and pressing the Sutton
that completes the connection and rings
the bell. The line is then absolutely Sc
cret, as there is no other connection pos
sible. The hanging up of the trumpet dis
connects the phone and puts it back on
the normal wire. Attention was called
10 this fact particularly by the long
story in a recent issue OF a New YORK
paper which announced that some Ger
man baron had perfected a system for
automatic connections that was to do
away with the Hello girl. The story in
the Gotham paper was TO the effect that
such a plan was reasonable and would be
a great thing for convenience and would

that many experiments had been made

WANAMAKER'S VIEWS.
Wants Young Men to Study Civic
Duties More.

philadelphia, May 4.,-John Wanamaker
addressed the Young Republicans of Ger
mantown avenue, last evening. on the du-
ties of citizenship and the proper course
they should pursue as members of the Re
publican party to insure good govern
ment for the city, state and nation.
Mr.. Wanamaker said that the young
men of today had a great work before
them in purifying politics and securing
the benefits of good government Speak
ing of Philadelphia he said that nobody
is coming into this city and bringing his
capital TO invest in business. Outsiders
know that We have poor gas at high
price, bad water, with little likelihood of
its getting any better They know, too
that the spirit of Philadelphia is not one
of great helpfulness to young men;
that banks only loan money to people that
have plenty of it, and not to young fell
lows that have nothing but splendid char
acters, strong limbs and active brains
That may be good banking, he said, but
to build up a city more of the Chica go
spirit is needed, where there is a welcome
for every man and a readiness to help
him on
Mr.. Wanamalzer said that he would like
to subscribe TO the capital of a bank that
would help young men Starting in BUSH
ness He would like to see some of the
young men get into councils and pass an
ordinance that would give to any man
coming to the city and starting a factory
that would employ 200 men a receipted tax
bill for five years.

tramps on the train surrounded them,
demanded their money, and, failing to
get it peaceably, knocked the pair
down with coupling pins.
Then the robbers got Ludwig and
Rahn's gold watches and $50 in cash
and rolled the two off the train into a
dirt heap, where they were badly

caused by some affection of the heart.
The deceased was in the fifty-eighth

DIR SWALLOW GUILTY.
The Jury in the Second Libel Case, convicis
the Editor. Preacher.

The jury in the celebrated suit of
John c. Delaney against DR.. S. e.
Swallow Saturday found the editor
preacher guilty of the crime Of libel.
The proceedings of the final session
in the case occupied but short time,
hardly half an hour. The Judge open
ed court at 10 o'clock and Foreman
Shepler, of the jury, handed to Pro-
thonotary Melick the sealed envelope
containing the verdict. AS the official
read the single word "guilty," there
was silence in the room, but in its
midst the voice Of Mr.. Scarlet was
heard asking that the jury be polled.
1t was done and each man answered
in accordance with the finding as his
name was called.
When all had been called Mr..
Scarlet moved for new trial and
Judge Simonton allowed him ten days
in which to file reasons. The crowd
thinned out rapidly as the verdict was
read and court soon adjourned.
The case attracted more people to
the court house than any tried there
in recent years.

BASE BALL.

William Watts, Of Sunbury, was in
town on Tuesday, trying to make ar
rangements for league base ball
team in town. This same gentleman
was here some time ago, for the same
purpose. He is OF the opinion that
he can raise $4,000, here on subscrip-
ton and with this amount he can fix
up the Park and run the club all year.
OF course it sounds very we'll, but
where is the three thousand coming
from ? About two years ago there
was a subscription paper out, and
several fellows subscribed from twenty
to twenty five dollars, and after the
club was started the manager called
for the money. Did he get it e-Nit.
He had their names and their promise
but that was all. So if Mr.. Watts is
building any hopes on starting a
club from promised subscriptions, we
would advise him before he gets too
deep in the thing, to consult some oi
the former managers, and hear what
encouraging news they have to tell
him.
