MAJOR HUDSON'S PLANS.
He Will Become President of a Com
pressed Air COMPANY

Major ]. K. Hudson's plans for the
future have been discovered. He will
not move to Mexico nor re-engage in
the newspaper business, but will be-
come president of a new company now
being formed to handle several import
ant patents for the use of compressed
air. The company will also engage
in the manufacture of the patented ar
ticles.
When Major Hudson was elected
state printer in 1895 he formed a part
nership with Captain E. c. Nichols of
years has been experimenting with a
number of inventions for the use of
compressed air. The experiments have
proved satisfactory, and the firm now
has seven patents from the United
States. three or four from Great Brit
ain and one from Mexico. Applications
for other patents are pending al Wash
ington. Major Hudson will go to Mex
leo soon and press applications for Mex
lean patents and a trip to Europe be-
fore another year on a similar mission
is part of his programme
He considers all the inventions vaIu-
able, and expects to organize a strong
company to either manufacture or han
die the royalties and look after the
sales if the goods are made by other
companies. Both he and Captain
Nichols objected to going into the de-
tails of their plan, but Major Hudson,
when asked for statement, said:
Yes, the new enterprise is to be
managed by a company, the members
of which are residents of Topeka, Chi
cago and New York. The company is
formed for placing upon the market in
the United States, Mexico, Canada,
England, France. Germany and Some
other foreign countries some important
and valuable inventions 1 will act
as president of this new company, Civ
ing my entire time to the work To-
peka and Kansas will continue to be
my home, although the company will
open offices in Chicago and New York.
THE inventions deal with electricity
compressed air and hydraulic motors
The application of compressed air, in
one of the inventions, is for the deep
ening of channels and preserving har-
bors, and is entirely original The
power for the manufacture of the com
pressed air is taken from the river cur
rent by hydraulic motor, and the cur

POP IN SEARCH OF LIGHT
Sheds Abroad Some of That Which
He Already Hath.

J. NJ. Leeds of Turon, Reno county,
who was a member of the state senate
in 1898, and who is one of the leading
Populist politician of the Seventh dis
trict, has written letter to the Journal
upon the political situation. Mr.. Leeds
signs himself: "A Pop in Search of
Light" His letter is as follows:
Down here in the big Seventh we see
things in the Journal that amuses us
much. The men who are after Jerry
Simpson may annoy him some, but will
not hurt him. w. L. Brown seems to
think that because Jerry wears good
clothes when in Washington, will set
the people of his district against him.
1 have been inQuiring amongst his con-
stituency and have not found one who
is gainst him on that account, nor on
any other. This same Brown has tried
to stir up a strife against jerry more
than once and failed, as he will in this
case. Jerry has a perfect right to wear
good clothes if he desires to do SO, and
We want him to wear them. We do not
want him to be looking like a beggar,
nor to dress so Scantly that one would
imagine he was practicing for a ''Seely
dinner" and trying to Guido Little
Egypt. We want him to be a gentle
man while there, as we know he is
when at home.
This man Brown and Judge Mckay
We're going to Overwhelm Jerry at the
last convention, and the Judge was to
make such charges and prove them
that the convention would cast him
aside and take up a dark horse. But
Jerry got there just the same as he will
at the next convention, and woe be to
those who oppose him. We all know w.
L. Brown, and know he would like to be
a dictator in the party. Whenever w.
L. cannot use man in office to his own
advantage then he is against him. The
reason he dislikes Jerry is because he
cannot dictate to him. If he could use
Jerry, then he would be all right. I see
that FOrney is about to shy his castor
into the gubernatorial arena. You must
Brown
or he will say Forney wears too good
clothes, besides a diamond stud in his
shirt front, and that would lay FOrney
forever in the shade. 1 see that Gov
ernor Leedy is very ''sanguine," that if
an extra session is called the max
imum freight law would be enacted
it may be-but were in his place
should be very 10th to trust that legis-
lature again.
Mr.. Editor, will you tell US whether
the railroad commissioners have ever
been of any benefit to the people, if
they have please point out the cases,
if of no use why not abolish the offices
and save the expense to the people of
the state. Will maximum freight rate
law, if passed, be Obeyed by the rail-
roads, or will they carry it up to the
higher courts and it finally be declared
unconstitutional.
Yours Pop in Search of Light,

AN INSURANCE COMBINE.
An Effort Being Made to Bring in the
Non-Union Companies.

Chicago, Aug. 7.-Representatives of
20 of the largest non-union insurance
companies in the northwest are in SEES
sion here. The conference was called
in order to secure a uniform action on
the part of the non-union companies
and to discuss the usefulness of an or
ganization, not exactly on the lines of
the regular underwriting associations
but close enough to hold the outside
companies together without destroying
their character of regulating their bust
ness.
One matter which is being discussed
rs that of a sort of compact with the
union companies respecting rates.

CHIEF CAUSE.

Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is the chief cause Of bladder
troubles. So the womb, like the blad-
der, was created for one purpose, and
if not doctored too much is not liable
to weakness or disease, except in rare
cases. 1t is situated back of and very
close to the bladder, therefore any
pain, disease or Inconvenience Inani-
tested in the kidneys, back, bladder or
usinary passage is often, by mistake
attributed to female weakness cr
womb trouble of some sort. The error
is easily made and may be as easily
avoided. 70 find out correctly, set
YOUR urine aside for 81 hour; a
sediment or settling indicates kidney
or bladder trouble. The mild and the
extraordinary effect of DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney
and bladder remedy, is soon real
lied. If you neeu medicine you
should have the best. AT druggists,
price fifty cents and one dollar.

A most unusual offer is that
made by Elder Joseph Ballou, of
Lincoln County, Kentucky. 1t Is
that he will pay $35 reward for
the arrest Of every negro hog thief
in the county and $50 for the cap
ture of every white man who can be
convicted of the same offence. Mr..
Ballou was asked why he made
the differnce in the amount offered
for the two races for the same
charge. He answered: ''Because
there is less necessity for q white
man to steal than negro, ald 1t
is, therefore, much meaner of the
whites to be guilty of such a
depredation."
