Chairman Mott Issues q SenSi-
BILE Bulletin.
Ruling Made to Protect Specta-

Walcott Issues a Challenge to Sailor
Sharkey-M1ssouri Eleven Try to
Strengthen Their Team.

Baltimore, Nov. 2O.-Chairman Mott,
of the League of American Wheelmen
racing board, today issued the follow
ing special bulletin:
For Objectionable actions on the
track in the dVe-mile handicap at San
ger hall, Philadelphia, November Is,
Teddy Goodman and Charles Hadfeld
are fined $25 each and suspended until
the fines are paid.
This is bulletined as a warning to
other racing men, because Mr.. Good
man at least was under the impression
that referees We're pOwerIeSS to pro
tect the spectators and promoters from
actions which ruined what would other
wise have been a most excellent eXhi-
bitiOn. The racing men and promoter
had contracted to give the spectators
who had paid for it an exhibition of
the best efforts of A1essrs. Nat Butler,
Hadheld, Barnaby, Stevens and the
TurViIe brothers in competition. The
impression was that when repeated
sitting up, slowing, gesticulating, half
turning in the saddle and disputatiOnS
were due to a refusal to take q share of
the general pacemaking, eventually
resulting in abandoning the track,
that there was no rule to cover it.
Referees are referred to track rule Is,
page %. The Objectionable actions re
ferred to there are, among other things,
the combination of actions above de-
scribed, and referees are authorized to
act under that rule in such cases"

ITALIAN TOBACCO DEAL.
Tennessee Firm Contracts to Deliver
10000 Hogsheads.

CIarksville Tenn, Nov. ga tobacco
deal of gigantic proportions has just been
closed here between E. c. Morrow 6s Bro.
of this city and Joseph FerigO and Louis
Lazari, representing the Italian govern
ment.
BY the terms of the contract the Nor
rows are to furnish over 10000 hOgsheads
of dark tobacco to Italy during next
year. The Italian regfe contract was to
be closed June next, so it was thought,
but the Italian commissioners concluded
not to advertise for bids, thus cutting
contractors Reusens, Toel and Abenheim
OF New York out from competition, as
they held this contract prior to last year.
Morrow has already bought j, 000 600
pounds, and will buy probably 4,009O00
pounds more in this section.
This contract probably ends one of the
biggest fights between regie contractors
ever known in the dark tobacco country,
as the representatives of the other regie
contracting firms have bought about $
O0.O00 pounds of tobacco in the dark
growing section. and planters have reap
ed a rich harvest in high prices, as the re-
suit of the sharp competition. Associated
with the Morrows in their contract are
a number of the largest dealers in this
section.

duty is. to prevent the medical students
from flirting with the young women of

high school appealed to Chief of Police
Taylor few days ago for protection for
the girls. He said that the students had
been making desperate efforts to firt
with his charges. Now two large Hi

stoIid countenances while the various
tvDes of Kentucky beauty pass before
them. The students nave been warned
that the calaboOse awaits anyone who

PROBABLY NO BENCH SHOW.
Topeka Dog Fanoiers Too Busy to
Attend to Tt.

Two years ago Topeka had a bench
show that for the first attempt was a
success in every way. 1t has been sup
posed that another would be given
this winter, but unless some one who
has not presented himself comes to
the front and takes the part of man
ager and promoter, none will be held.
The show two years ago was manag-
ed by Mr.. Harry Robinson, who is him
self the owner of several prize winning
dogs.
Mr.. Robinson says he has not the
time to devote to the management of
another show.
The show two years ago was a sue
cess, as to the number of entries, and
Topeka saw d large number of the ca
nine tribe that had won ribbons and
glory at the New York show. The
show paid expenses and would proba-
bly, do 50 again if some dog fancier has
the opportunity to devote to the enter
prise.
The only show booked for Topeka at
present is the pigeon fancier eXhibi-
ton. This Will be, if the promises of
the fanciers around town are correct,
the best exhibition of the kind ever
given in the city.

LARGEST IN THE WORLD.
Topeka's Melan Arch Bridge Has No
Equal of It's Kind.


The new Melan arch bridge which
now spans the Kaw river at Kansas
avenue, will be completed by January
1st.
1t is far toward completion now.
Mr.. Edwin Thacher, one of the contrac-
tors, said of it:
we expect to finish up here in De-
cember. We have the fills to make yet,
but that won't take long
This bridge is the largest of the con-
crete arch construction in the world.
There is not another concrete arch
made which is as large as either the
center or two adjacent spans of this
new bridge.
The bridge is composed of five spans.
The two end spans are 971A feet each.
The next adjacent arches are 110 feet
and the middle one is 135 feet.
In Paterson, n. J., Keepers & Thach-
er built a Melan bridge of three spans
81 feet each. In Stockbridge, Mass,
there IS short bridge of one span,
which is 100 feet long. These are the
only Melan bridges which approach
TOpeka's new bridge in size. The road
way of the bridge viii be 40 feet high
er in the center than on either end. The
space between the ratings is 40 feet.
OF this Is feet viii be paved with brick
for wagon traffic, and on either side
there viii be two six foot artificial
stone walks for pedestrians.
The six piers contain 760 piles which
average 20 feet in length Around these
concrete was packed. In the six piers
there are 5000 cubic yards of concrete
In building the cofferdams 100000 feet
of lumber were used. The amount CT
concrete used in building all above the
foundations was 300 cubic yards
One hundred and sixty tons of steel
have been used in making the spans.
Each span contains u large steel grid
ers. This amounted to 5000 1ineal feet
of steel. In making the false work,
100000 feet of lumber were used and
80 900 pounds of iron.
In the whole bridge 1900 barrels of
Portland cement have been used; 10000
cubic yards of stone have been used.
The total amount of concrete used for
the bridge was u 300 cubic yards.
Mr.. Edwin Thacher has estimated
the weight of the entire structure and
he gives it as 25. 900 tons.
All the concrete work has been COM
pleted with the exception of finishing
the sidewalks. These will be finished
as soon as the roadbed of the bridge
is brought to level. Both fills" are up
to grade and the retaining walls built

Asks $500 Damages for False Ar
rest.

DR.. w. c. Brownen has commenced
a suit for So, 500 damages against L. b
Wyman in the district court for false
arrest.
The trial of DR.. Brownen for the
theft of bicycle was in the justice
courts for so long that it became fam
Gus. DR.. Browneu is a young man
who once had a good practice in To-
peka, but it dwindled away and then
came his arrest on the petty charge of
stealing a cheap bicycle
The case was tried and the jury dis
agreed. Again it was tried. and again
there was a failure to agree on a YER
dict.
Finally on the third trial of the case,
DR.. BrOwneu was acquitted.
He says in his petition that he was
taken to the jail and searched like a
common felOn and his trinkets and
pocket book We're taken from him and
he was locked in a cell. He wants So
coo for the suffering he endured from
this treatment and asks for $500 to re-
imburse him for the trouble and ex-
pense he has been Cccasioned by the
prosecution. Mr.. Wyman has a bicy-

ANTI-PINGREE COMBINE.
Deal by Michigan Democrats and An
grY Republicans Reported

Detroit, Nov. 2O.-Colonel John Atkins.
who is called the political Fidus Achates
of Governor Pingree, in an interview to-
day said there is a combine formed COM
posed of gold and silver Democrats, dis
gruntled Republicans, and the Republican
state central committee, to do a mortal
hurt to the governors political ambition.
This combine, according to the colonel,
vii nominate Mayor Maybury for COVER
nor. The silver question is to be buried
for the purposes of the campaign and
the Democratic factions are to pull to-
gether.
''Of course the interview reads, the
Republican state central committee is no t
going to give the Maybury ticket open
support, but word viii be passed down
the line just the same to get the votes
first, last and all the time for Maybury
for governor and to trade everything else
for him.
THE state central committee Republi-
cans want Senator Burrows elected as
badly as they want Pingree defeated. In
return for their support of Maybury the
Democrats are to sacrifice their candi-
dates for the legisIa ature-that is, trade
them off for votes for Maybury. 1t is
to be Maybury in the governors chair
and a Republican majority in both
houses
The colonel doubts that any scheme that
can be concOcted viii defeat Mr.. Pingree,
and promises that the hVeliest fight the
state has ever had Will be the outcome
of the alleged combines plan to down
the governor.

a severe attack, saved his little boys
life. He is in the drug business, a
member of the firm of Johnson Bros.
of that place and they handle a great
many patent medicines for throat and
Iuner diseases. He had all these to
choose from, and skilled physicians
readyto respond to his call, but selected
this remedy for use in his own family
af a time when his child's life was in
danger. because he knew it to be su-
Derior to any other, and famous the
country over for it's cures of Group.
MIR. Johnson says this is the best sell

that it gives splendid satisfaction in

QUEER KLONDTKE BOAT.
Chicago Mans Device Intended to
Run Over Ice, Snow or Water.


Chicago, Nov 20.-With a cOmbina-
ton boat, sleigh and ice boat, John
Gustaveson intends to journey to the
KlondfNe by the overland route With
his ingenious cOntriVance nothing but
dense woods and mountains can stop
him 1t is to be propelled by either
steam or sail, both forces being pres
ent in the models and drawings ne mas
prepared.
Gustaveson is an old sailor He was
as a derrick rigger for seventeen years,
and at the rail mill. He lives at 1904
South Seeley avenue.
The craft, if craft it may be called,
is hat-bottomed, and ,equlPped WITH IN
two sets of runners. The hull is Y
feet long, 6 feet beam and feet inch
es deep. An arched cover will be
stretched over it, making a shelter
with six feet of headrOOm. The en-
gine will have six horse power, and by
Sprocket-chain gear drives a shaft
equipped with paddle wheels. The
masts will be two in number and carry
a schooner rig. The stearing wheel
will be placed in the bow.
In running over ice the paddle wheels
will be equipped with spurs to drive
the boat along. In deep snow the pad
dies will act, it is thought, with enough
force to drive the craft along at a fair
speed. In water the progress will be
easiest of all. Six men can be taken
along, with supplies to last for a long
time. To Edmonton, in Canada, the
outfit will be shipped by cars. Then
Nelson river, and then. by following
the course of streams, all hilly country
will be avoided and fairly smooth pas
sage secured. On arriving at the gold
fields the boat can be used for home.
A steam pump for pumping up the
will be included in the outfit, and steam
supplied from the boiler

COLLAPSE OF THE A. p. A
Dissensions Have Driven the Nation
al Organization Out of Existence.

Washington, Nov. 2O.-The supreme
headquarters of the American PrOtec-
tive association, in this city, have
closed, and the property in the way of
Office furniture. etc, has been sold un-
der the hammer, Hartman & Cadick, a
publishing house here, having forecIos-
ed a. mortgage given to secure payment
of Indebtedness contracted for printed
supplies.
The passing of the order as a ma
tiOnal organization was caused chiefly
by dissensions, which had their origin
in the recent presidential campaign,
and which caused a falling off of more
than 50 percent in membership. For
some time the subordinate councils
have refused to contribute to the sup
port of the national officers.
John w. EchOls, supreme president,
says that one reason for the failure of
the order is that a large number of the
members wanted office under Mckinley,
and when they were disappointed, held
the national officers responsible. An
other reason which Mr.. EchOIs gives is
that at least One-third of the members
of the order are trying to make a living
out of it. He declares that the Organi-
zation owes him 81. 600 salary, and that
he is ready to resign as soon as it is
paid.

HORSE AND NAN.
OneCarefully and the Other CareIessly
Fed.

An honest man should be honest
with his body. The owner of a horse is
usually particular to know that sweet
and properly cured hay and clean oats
and corn. are furnished for his feed
The owner would be considered as
lacking in judgment and common hu-
manity, if he fed his horse drugs or
narcotics. They would rob the horse
of his power and health.
The horse has the advantage of a
simple diet, with selected food ele-
ments that are well known to furnish
him the greatest amount of energy
and preserve him in prime condition,
while the owner, in many cases, par
takes of some properly selected food at
his meals, but adds coffee, possibly
three times q day.
If the owner has proven by daily ex-
perience that he can digest coffee and
that it does not detract from his
health in any manner, 1t would be ad-
uissable for him to continue its use,
even although it furnishes no food val
ue, but is simply a stimulant and mar
cOtic.
If. however, rheumatism, which pro-
ceedS from q diSOrganiZed liver, or con-
stipation, which frequently comes from
a disarranged nervous system, com
bined with stomach and liver trouble.
or if the heart palpitateS unpieasantly
or runs down low in it's beats, he may
conclude that the cause of it all, the
drug which we know of under the
name of coffee, is doing an insiduOuS
work, and that if continued, will GER
tainly shorten his days.
In order to determine whether or no,
coffee is the cause of the difficulty, it
could be abandoned for time and
Postum Cereal Food Coffee used in
its place. This kind of experiment has
proved the salvation of many men and
women in America today.
Postum is the only Cereal Coffee yet
pure and free from low grade coffee or
other drugs.
