CATTLE THIEF CONVICTED.
Dick Chapman Found Guilty of APP
propriating Farmers Stock

Dick Chapman, who is supposed to be
one OF gang who systematically rob-
bed farmers pastures of cattle was
convicted today of grand larceny in the
district court.
The specific charge against Chapman
was the theft of six head of cattle from
a farmer named Joseph Schenck who
lived four miles north of Silver Lake.
He turned the animals over to the stock
yards in North Topeka where the hide
and horns were identified afterward by
the owner.

cattle of a man named Wall but it was
proved that they were brought to To-
peka at O'Clock in the morning.
Several arrests were made in this
case but the other parties charged with

leased for want of evidence.

LIKE DAYS OF '61.
Enthusiastic Crowds Cheer the 25th
Infantry on Its Journey South.

Nashville, Tenn, April 14.-If any
doubt existed regarding the patriotism
and warlike feeling of the residents of
Illinois, Indiana and Tennessee along
the line of the Chicago & Eastern IL
linois railroad, it would have been
swept away by the reception given the
18th infantry as it passed along. In
every town, on every street crossing
and on the depot platforms, men waved
their arms in frantic token of approval
gestures by yellS. In the large towns
where the train stopped for few mo-
ments, the crowd piled so closely in
upon the cars that it was impossible
for the soldiers to leave the train at all
L was among those who answered
the first call in 1861, said the command
land these scenes along the way are
very similar to those that greeted us
as we went to the front 81 years ago.
At one small station where the train
standing upon the steps of the car
watching the crowd and as the soldiers
and people yelled their mutual approval
the colonel said to the men on the plat
form: Are you going to follow US, boys,
if war comes?'
I'VE are coming right after you"
shouted several, and Col. Burt clam
bered back into the train with the re-
mark: Il guess these fellows are all
right
The men of the 25th are full of fight
and 1T was shown in good style last
night as the train left Terre Haute
young fellow on the platform shouted
in joke: "Hurrah for Spain,'' and in
stantly there was a break by several
soldiers to reach him. They were held
back by the nOn-commissioned officers
who explained that it was meant as a
joke. THAT don't matter" was the
reply. They don't nobody tell US
hurrah for SPAIN
The regiment stopped about thirty
minutes today at Nashville and then
started for Chattanooga. Eight COM
panies will be camped tonight in Chick
anauga park and two companies with
orders from the war department will
continue on their way to Key West

Spanish Cabinet Minister Says Spain
Will Not Leave Cuba.

London, April 14.-According to a spe-
cial dispatch from Madrid today
Spanish cabinet minister has declared
in an interview that should President
Mckinley notify Spain to evacuate Gu
ba, this government will Immediately
and emphatically refuse, and will add,
it is fully prepared to take the conse-
quences.
THE government" the cabinet minis
ter said, docs not regret according the
armistice as 1t has thereby proved its
point of view and has made it more
difficult for the United States to inter
Vene without putting itself completely
in the wrong"
The Madrid correspondent of the
Times says:
1T is not too much to say that ever
since the armiStice was made public,
this city has been under martial law
Proceeding to describe fully the street
demonstrations, especially of Sunday,
the correspondent says that that day
there were fully 5000 men shouting for
war and denouncing the government as
traitors and that the mob was kept
from the American legation and the
government offices only by strong cor
dons of police
He continues: These events occur
red as the very moment when the gov
eminent was representing the POSSIBLE
ity of honorable, peaceful solution.
If every one of the representations be
brought religiously to pass, the people
may. with some trouble, be kept in
check until pacific scheme OF the min
istry stands accomplished, but if all or
any should fail if the Spanish army in
Cuba should consider its hands to be
unfairly tied before the enemy, or if a
single phrase or criticism uttered in the
parliament of the United States should
CRATE against the already exasperated
pride of this country, what may not
happen in Madrid? Ell Liberal well de-
fines the essence of last nights tumult
Viva Espana,' it says was the cry from
end to end in Madrid. Viva Espana at
this hour means war with the United
state or war at home %

son OF AUDITOR MORRIS
May Have Been Killed in Alabama
Mr.. Morris Thinks Not

mr.. M rr1S Th1nkS N OF.
There is rumor that one of the men
killed in the railroad accident at Maya
zine Point, Ala, yesterday, was Har-
ry Morris, son of State Auditor w. H.
Morris, and up to a short time ago a
clerk in his fathers office in this city
So far no verification of the rumor has
been received. The only ground for it
is the fact that Morris and Philip
Kaumm, the Pittsburg resident who
was seriously injured that he died
soon after the accident, were great COM
panions and associated together for
years. Kauinm is a brother of Mrs. w.
L. Newcomer of this city and his re-
mains will be sent to his home in Pitts
burg. Mrs. Newcomer went to Pitts
burg today.
Auditor Morris places no credence in
the rumor of his sons death. He says
that he heard from him April 1, and he
was then in the country in the vicinity
of Sloan Springs, Ark, conducting a
chicken farm with a man named War
ringtOn. He believes that had he left
there to go south to enlist in the navy,
as was stated to be the intention of
Kaumm, he or Warrington would have
written.
AS the farm is several miles from ST.
loan Springs, there is no way of COM
municating with Warrington by tele-
graph.
Mr. and Mrs. Newcomer room at 512
Harrison street. Mr.. Newcomer is
travelling salesman for an eastern hard
ware house.

THINK IT OVER.
A Rational Remedy for a National
Trouble.

Trouble.
To say that hemorrhoids or the dis
ease commonly known as piles is a ma
tional disease may be slightly over
drawn, but it is quite certain that at
least one in every four persons is so af-
fiicted.
diately fatal many suffer for years
without giving the trouble medical at
tention.
Moreover, the rather general impress
sion that a surgical operation is the on
ly cure, has much to do with delaying
attention until the disease becomes
deep seated and chronic.
Sufferers from piles should know that
the Pyramid Pile Cure is better than a
surgical operation, it cures without pain,
1t causes no detention from business
and the cost is trifiing, all. druggists
selling it at so cents per package.
The aStringent effect of the acids in
the Pyramid Pile Cure speedily con-
tracts and restores to their natural con-
dition the blood vessels of the affected
parts, and as it quickly dissolves in the
rectum, the remedy soothes and heals
the irritated surfaces and these two
things are the only necessary require
mentS for cure.
The principal danger from piles is the
liability to chronic liberation of the rec
tai tissue, and nervous exhaustion from
loss of sleep and the attendant pain and
irritation. All these symptoms the Pyr-
amid quickly relieves and the fact that
it is the most popular and widely sold
of any pile cure is quite conclusive evil
dence of thorough merit. If you suffer
from bleeding, itching or protruding
piles try a fifty cent package tonight
Ask your druggist for Pyramid Pile
Cure.

RED FLAG.
Revolution Breaks Out at
Valencia, Spain.

London, April 14.-According to a
special dispatch from Madrid, there was
a big revolutionary demonstration at
Valencia, capital of the Spanish pro-
vince of that name, yesterday evening.
A large crowd assembled, a red flag was
displayed and waved and the "Marseil-
loise" was sung. The police, it is added,
dispersed the people who took part in
the demonstration and captured the red
flag.

|: Wheat Pad higher.

| Liverpool: Corn, 11sd higher
| Liverpool: At 80 p. an additional
benny was added to the price of wheat,
making 31sd higher far.
New York: Perhaps the street was
taken by surprise by the prompt report
of the senate committee on foreign rela-
lions on the Cuban question yesterday.
Perhaps it did not anticipate such a rad-
cal complexion to the report. For the
first time in long. while there were traces
of actual liquidation. 1t did not reach
extensive proportions so that the markets
strength was not put to a severe test.
What probably, affected sentiment most
was the attitude of the foreign element.
The selling by London yesterday did not
appear to be connected with the fortnight
ly settlement at the Stock Exchange, as
the first making up day disclosed only a
small bull account open. The large inter-
ests do not yet appear to have given up
hope that something will occur at the
last moment to avert resort to arms.
should war be the only outcome of the
present complications the general belief
is that it will be short and decisive. A
short war could not demoralize the money
markets. 1t is possible that money may
be temporarily dearer but oppressive
rates are not likely to prevail General
business is in a sound condition. A large
foreign credit remains for the United
States to draw upon.

A New Form Of Personalities.

The old style of portraying famous
people through sketch" or "biogra
ply" is to be modernized in The Ladies'
Home Journal during 1898. Five OF the
most prominent Americans have been
chosen for the departure: President Nc
Kinley, Mrs. Cleveland, Mark Twain,
Joseph Jefferson and Thomas A. Edison.
Each will have special article, which
will consist of about fifteen or twenty
fresh, unpublished stories and anecdotes
strung together, each anecdote showing
some characteristic trait or presenting
a different side of the subject. The idea
is to show famous personalities through
their own doings and sayings, and to
make these articles accurate the relatives
and closest personal friends of the sub.
jects have assisted and given to the
Journal the best stories and anecdotes
within their own knowledge. Each ar
ticle will thus represent the closest view
of the one sketched. No authorship will
be attached to any of the articles.
