LONDON HAT CRUSADE.
Lady Douglas Cation Tries to Start
One, but With No Success.

London, April IA crusade has al
ready begun in London against the
matinee hat. In view of the jubilee
street spectacles, Lady Douglas Gal
ton, wife of a leading scientist, has
written to the newspapers beseeching
English women to show some consider
alton for each other, not to speak of
mere men, by discarding on Jubilee day
all headgear of the flower garden vari-
ETY. in favor of the toQue of limited
height and narrow rims. She appeals
to them to initiate the unseldshness of
the aged queen. Who to please her sub
jects, is undertaking most trying pub
lie ordeal.
But there is reason to fear that Lady
Cations is but a voice crying in the
wilderness. The millinerS, having laid
in their stocks of empire hats, are ap-
palled at the idea of finding them left
on their hands, while the fair sex. so far
as their intense indignation has allowed
them to become articulate, denOunce
the mOnstrous innovation of attempting
to make fashion laws subserVient to
any consideration whatsoever.
They rightly scent danger in Lady
Cations mere suggestion. London
crowds are no respecters of persons,
and if a woman's right to obstruct the
view by expansive headgear is ques-
toned it is very likely that Lady Gal
tons proposal will be effected by sum-
mary methods on Jubilee day.

MAGNOLIA BLOSSOMS.
DR.. Roby Has Them on His Trees
Eight in the Open Air.

Dr. H. w. Roby is having remarka-
BILE success with semi-tropicaI shrubs
and plants which he is raising at his
beautiful country place south of the
city.
Yesterday he cut full grown blossoms
from his magnolia trees raised in the
open air. Few people realize that
magnolias can be raised in this climate.
The only precaution that Dr.. Roby
takes with the trees is to bank the roots
thoroughly when winter comes on. One
of the trees is four years old and four
or five feet high. A single magnolia
blossom will fill a room with frag-
rance.
When Topeka gets a park there is no
reason why there shouldn't be dozens
of magnolia trees in it. They bloom
early in the spring, almost before the
pear and cherry blossoms. Besides
magnolias, DR.. ROby has banana tree
II feet high. This has to be placed in a
tub in the winter, however. 1t is now in
the window of the Cremerie restaurant.
1t will be taken out and be placed in
Dr. Roby'S lawn this summer yhere it's
broad tropical leaves have already been
a source of wonder to passers-by for
two years.
1t ought to blossom and bear fruit
this year, for this is its third summer.
Besides the trees mentioned, DR.. Roby's
garden contains many other rare plants
and trees, not excelled by any place
west of Shaws garden, St. Louis.

COUNT ToLsTors LEE.

TFrom the Chicago Times-Herald.1
The wives of writer's are often of
great assistance to them. For exam
pie, Count Tolstois wife has been the
chief means of making him famous
She was Countess Tolstoi at Is, her
husband being a score of years her
senior A year before her marriage
She took her diploma at the Moscow
university During thirty years she
has been the counts coadjutor in all
his literary pursuits. She copies and
recopies his manuscripts-not an easy
task owing to the self-made system OF
shorthand he uses. On one occasion
she made with her hand fifteen copies
of one of the counts books.
Another clever woman is Mrs. Grant
Allen, who acts as her husband, 5 aman-
11ensis and as he is numbered among
the most prolific and versatile writer's
of the day, her task is not light one.

CATARRH OF THE STOMACH.
a Pleasant, Simple, but Safe and Eff
fectual Cure for It.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been
! considered the next thing to incurable.
The usual symptoms are full of bloat-
ing sensation after eating, accompanied
sometimes with sour or Watery riSings,
a formation of gases, causing pressure
on the heart and lungs and difficult
breathing; headaches. tickle appetite,
nervousness and a general played out,
languid feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue and if the inter
Tor of the stomach could be seen it
would show a Shiny, inflamed condition.
The cure for this common and obsu-
nate trouble is found in a treatment
which causes the food to be readily,
thoroughly digested before it has time
to ferment and irritate the delicate
mucous surfaces of the stomach. To
secure a prompt and healthy digestion
is the one necessary thing to do and
when normal digestion is secured the
catarrhal condition will have dtsap-
peared.
According to DR.. Harlanson the safest
and best treatment is to use after each
meal a tablet, composed of DiastaSe,
Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nux. Golden
Seal and fruit acids These tablets can
now be found a all drug stores under
the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets and not being a patent medicine
can be used with perfect safety and as
surance that healthy appetite and
thorough digestion will follow their reg
ular use after meals
Mr.. N. J. Booher of 2710 Dearborn St,
Chicago. Ill, writes: 'Catarrh IS To-
cal condition resulting from neglected
cold in the head, whereby the lining
membrane of the nose becomes infiam-
ed and the poisonous discharge there
from passing backward into the throat
reaches the stomach, thus producing
catarrh of the stomach. Medical author
tiles prescribed for me for three years
for catarrh Of stomach without cure,
but today I am the happiest of men
after using only one box of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets. I cannot find ap-
propriate words to express my good
feeling. I have found flesh, appetite
and sound rest from their use.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the SAT-
est preparation as well as the simplest
and most convenient remedy for any
form of indigestion, catarrh of stomach,
biliousness, sour stomach, heartburn
and bloating after meals.
Send for little book, mailed free on
stomach troubles, by addressing Stuart
Co, Marshall Mich. The tablets can be
found at all drug storess

The Topeka Journal says the present
legislature is the most disgraceful one
Kansas has ever had. This must be
very cOnsOling to the Journal when it
remembers that it did so much to elect
that bOdy.-Lawrence Journal.
The State Journal fails to recoIlect a
single legislature where there was not
crOOkedness. The State Journal believes
there are bad men in all parties, and it
regards with contempt any man or ed
itor who thinks his own party is per-
fectly clean. Eternal vigilance Is the
price of honest legislation and there are
always scamps everywhere. The Jour-
nal will expose them whether they are
Republicans or Populists. Until the
people take more vital personal and
continuous interest in their government
they will be more or less a the mercy
of scheming and designing politicians,
and these politicians will be in both the
Republican and POpulist parties. Keep
turning them down, first one, then the
other, as fast as election day comes
around and the lessons will not be lost.

THE BASIC CONSIDERATION.
(From the Chicago News.l

NFFOm the chicago NeWS-J
The Hon. Lyman J. Gage makes mild
complaint of the inrOads made on his
time by office seekers. He drives at his
office at a. m. to find a long line of
seekers waiting to present their respec-
tive cases to him.
Mr. Gage has tablished rule which
prevents the hordes getting to him I'M
til he has gone through his mail and
started the treasury machinery for the
day. This rule is not to the liking of Of
nee hunters. Without desiring to med
die with the official affairs of Mr.. Gage
we wish to suggest that he is pursuing
wrong course. The government of
the United States is for the benefit of
the grea test number. The grea test num-
Der voted for Mckinley last November
And if all reports be true. almost every
one of that blessed greatest number is
IN WashingtOn,o or has been in Washing
ton, or has representa- in Wash
lngton, plugging for a fat job Follow
ing this line of reasoning to its logical
conclusion we find that dealing out Of
ices is realizing the purpose of our gov
eminent
It may sound all right to say that the
old, time hOnOred treasury deficit is now
changing to a treasury surplus, and
that Mr. Gage is working asSiduouSly
to make the income exceed the Outgo.
But the majority isn't interested in de-
hcitS or SURPRISES. What they want to
know is whether there are snaps
enough to go round, and if so. about
how long a sovereign citizen of this
great republic must wait to get his re-
ward for helping to make Mckinley
president

STEEL TRUST AND UNCLE SAM

STEEL IL ISL AN - ON CAE BAN
In the introduction of a bill for the
seizure of the Carnegie armOr plate
factory and its appropriation to the
service of the government until pres
ent and Immediately prospective needs
are supplied, Senator Chandler has
fired the first gun in the battle which
is to determine whether the govern
ment is to control the trusts or the
trusts are to control the government.
Having been pampered and protected
through legislation favorable to its in
terests for years the steel trust has at
last grown so arrogant that it has
plainly said to congress within the past
week that the government shall pay
the price demanded for armor plate or
go without.
When the government requires the
property of an individual for public
use and he declines to part with it at
a reasonable price it takes the property
by force and settles with the owner aft
erwards. Senator Chandler proposes
to apply the same rule to dealing with
a corporation. The steel trust viii
probably conclude that it has at last
gone little too far. 1t did not expect
to have its bluff called.
1t is peculiarly fortunate that the
movement to make the trust under
stand it's relations with the people orig
mated with a man who has perhaps
done as much as any other to assist it
in attaining it's present power. If some
new member of congress had advocat-
ed the course proposed by Senator
Chandler, there would probably have
been raised a cry of anarchy, socialism,
paternalism, interference with vested
rights, confscation and so on through
the catalogue. It augurs well for the
measure, therefore, that it is backed by
a member in good standing of the party
in control of the government.
Some years ago the proposition for
the government to go into the manu-
facture of armor plate might have been
viewed with some misgivings by the
conservative people of the country, but
we have become SO accustomed to see
ing the government do things in late
years that it is unlikely to attract
much attention. The contest between
the government and the trust will
doubtless be watched with much in
terest. It is Mr.. Carnegie's next move.

WOLSELEY'S AILMENT.
Command Chief of the British
Army Said to Have Cancer.

London, April 14.-Lord Wolseley is
not likely to retain for any length of
time his position of Communicated chief
of the British army, for, although after
being confined to his house for weeks
he has at length returned to duty at the
branch of the war; department known
as the Horse Guards, yet it is no longer
a secret that he is afflicted with cancer
of the stomach, which is in a very ad-
vanced state. 1t is said that his ply
sicians have very little hope of prolong-
ing his life beyond the end of the year
In the event of his death his only
daughter, Frances, will become Wis
countess Wolseley in her own right
When she marries, if her husband be a
commOner or a baronet, she will retain
her own name and title, which he will
in no sense share, and she will drop
these only in the event of her being led
to the altar by nObleman whose rank
in the peerage is lOftier than her own
Her peerage will descend at her demise
but not until then-tO her eldest son,
if she has one, and, falling that. to any
daughter she may have.
