STOCK YARDS INVESTIGATION.
Tt is Said the Investigation Will Not
be Confined to Stock Yards.

Chairman o. o. Outcalt of the bri-
berry investigating committee has been
requested to come to Topeka by Satur-
day at least and sign the subpoenas for
witnesses to attend the investigation.
As yet no witnesses have been sum-
moned and some of the members of the
committee are anxious to have wit
nesses on hand and be ready for work
when the committee assemblies next
Tuesday.
Should Mr.. Outcalt decline to come
prior to that time a delay which might
be avoided VIII occur
If the committee carries out its in
tentiOns all manner of sensations will
be sprung. The investigation, it is said
will not be confined to the alleged stock
yards robberies but will go into the
school book transactions in which it is
alleged that an effort was made to ap-
proach some of the members. This is
also stated with reference to the anti
oleOmargarine bill The committee like

freshing indeed if this committee sue

posing political parties have manufac-
tured campaign thunder. Partisanship

RELIGION I'M SCHOOLS.
Prof Felix Adler Declares There are
Too Many Seets.

New York, April 1-Prof. Felix Adler
lectured this morning at Carnegie
Music hall on 1.-THE Need of a Substi-
tute for Religious Teaching in Public
Schools"
There are Catholics who believe that
the doctrine of the Romish church is the
only one efficacious to save" he said.
There are PrOtestants divided into
more than 100 sects, who regard the
Scriptures as the revelation of divine
truth, but agree neither in the verdict
of the prophet nor in the interpreta-
ton of the Scriptures. Then there
are Hebrews, free thinkers, agnostics
and others. Amid these discrepancies
of opinion is it possible to arrive at
compromise?
Two methods of compromise have
been suggested. The one is a cOmpro-
mise of agreement, the other a cOmpro-
mise of alienation. The first provides
for the formulation of a minimum
creed upon which a great majority Of
the citizens of the country can agree;
such a, creed to be taught in the public
schools The objection to that form
of compromise is that, after all, only
a majority will agree.
The second, the compromise of alter
nation, has, 1 believe, the high author
ity of President Eliot in it's support. 1t
proposes that the different Sects shall
send elergymen into the public schools
and give Sectarian instruction to mem
bers of theirs own denominations in
hours set apart for the purpose

LIVED AT PANTSVILLE
And They Got Pretty Well Mixed Up
Over a Deed

The disposal of a farm on paper,
which, in reality, did not exist, appears
to have been the object sought for in
certain land trade which now forms the
basis of a suit commenced in the dis
tr1ct court late yesterday afternoon.
Fannie Bolton, a resident of Sullivan,
Franklin county, Mo, and a woman so
Hliterate that she is unable to sign her
name and placed her mark on the pc
tition instead, has brought action to Sc
cure the cancellation of a deed given by
her to Andrew A. Williamson of Mont
gOmery county, Ohio, on the 9th day of
last November.
Frank Brooks, register of deeds, is
also made a defendant In the suit, for
the reason that the court is asked to
restrain him from recording the deed in
question.
1t appears from the petition filed in
the district court that last November
e. L. Bolton, as the representative of
Fannie Bolton negotiated to trade with
VIM. FullitsOn, representative of An
drew A. Williamson, by which Fannie
Bolton would deed Williamson lots 700
to ITO. Sherman avenue, and lots 1871 to
TAI and S13 to 1913 Carnahan avenue, in
Irving Place addition to the city of To-
peka, in return for 500 acre farm To-
Gated five miles from Pantsville, John
son county, Ky. On November 9th the
trade was finally settled and deeds ex-
ecuted.
When the deed to the 500 acre farm
was sent to the county clerk OF johnson
county, Kentucky, the Bolton woman
claims that she at once received a reply
from the clerk stating that no such
farm as described in the deed existed
in that county. On further investiga-
ton, she states, she found this to be
true, and that the trade was a wiIlfuI
endeavor to defraud-
If the claims made in the petition can
be sustained, Judge Hazen will prOba-
bly, see that the trade is declared off.

James Michael is the champion long
distance bicyclist of the world.
He recommends all WheeImen to take
Paine's celery compound
His experience is that of thousands
of others. With the opening of the BIZ
cycle season many a young person and
hundreds of older people who have de-
termined to take up bicycling as a
health giving exercise find themselves
really lacking the proper snap or
stamina to begin on. Their bodily con-
ditiOn prevents so spirited exercise.
They would like to ride, but they are
out of sorts, run down by a winter of
work or indoor life. Many who are
really sick, who have suffered from de-
bility or wasting diseases for a long
time until they had begun to think their
troubles had become chronic, as moth
ing gave them relief, would turn to BIZ
cycling for relief. But this splendid
exercise, like any other. requires
strength to undertake. The blood is
out of order, the nerves are derang ed,
and natures food for both is needed.
All such persons will find to their
immense joy that Paine'S celery COM
pound, taken now, will make them well.
Paine'S celery compound works Won
ders in the spring. If you have labor
ed under the load of repeated head
aches, neuralgia pains and days of nerv-
Gus debility, now is your best time to
get well.
Michael is today the most phenomen-
al rider in professional ranks. AS far
back as 1894 he was undisputed champ
ion of Great Britain, and in the fol-
scored 25 straight wins against the pick
ed riders of Europe. He has defeated
such famous men as Jacquelin, Gou-
goltz, Huret, Rivierre, Bonhours, Bour-

MEXICAN CATTLE POURING IN
Precautions Taken by State Board to
Prevent Infection.

The opinion that the proposed new
tariff law will increase the rate OF DUTY
on cattle shipped to the United states
from Mexico is responsible for an at
tempt on the part of southern owners
and shippers to land as many OF their
cattle in the United States, as is posi-
Bile. before the law becomes operative.
Tavlor Riddle, secretary of the state
live stock sanitary commission yester-
dav received a telegram from Sonora
stating that 10000 head of cattle from
the safe area of Mexico are awaiting
shipment north
Sonora and Chihuahua are the only
parts of that republic from which cat
tie are permitted to enter the United
States The remainder of the country
is under the ban provided by the quar-
antine regulations. However, when cat
tie are started north from those two
states owners from other parts of the
republic rush their cattle into that sec
ton and ship from there without re-
straint. In Mexico no attention IS PAID
to quarantine regulations as both IN
fected and healthy cattle are permitted
to mingle together in the same herds
Now that the time for shipment
north, April g. is almost at hand cattle
are being massed at points of entry to
the northern territory and the out
pouring will soon begin. AS soon as
the supposedly healthy cattle are ship
ned out an effort will be made to rush
those from the infected areas across the
line.

After the exertion of my record rides

of the unaccuStOmed climate 7 was ad-

satisfaction that was impelled to use
it again to brace up from the effects of

that [ have taken during the past

compound of assistance in keeping up
their physical tone. Jimmy Michael.
Every one needs to take a spring
remedy to purify their blood, arouse the
circulation and counterfeit the debilita-

We SIN Have FootbaIL.

The sentiment against foot ball which
manifested itself before the legislature
assembled and was not heard of after
that memorable event, was at least re
sponsible for the impression which is
held among the people of the east that
an anti-foet ball bill really became a
law. Private Secretary Little yester-
day received a letter from J. s. Bur-
nett, a member of the New York legis-
Iature, asking for a copy of the Kansas
law prohibiting foot bali No such bill
was introduced in the legislature.
