OUR SUMNER RESORT.
John Marshall, Who is Going to Give
Tt to the People, Goes Over
the Ground.

John Marshall and several prominent
members of MarshalPs band are max
ing examination of Garfield park
this afternoon to determine just what
improvements are to be made first.
The walks and roads will be graded
up and all the dead timber cleared out
before anything else is done. Then work
will be commenced on the Casino.
Mr.. Marshall said today that the
building will be completed by June 1,
and that work on it will be commenced
some time in April. The building will
have 1900 square feet of floor space.
Mr.. Marshall will go to Kansas City in
a short time to make arrangements to
bring musical companies to Topeka. It
is his plan to have a performance two
or three times a week in the Casino,
and to have but one price of admission,
10 cents, which will be charged at the
gate.
These theatrical entertainments will
not be given on the nights of the band
concerts. The concerts by the band will
be given in the band stand, usual,
but the Casino will afford a. place of
shelter in bad weather, no matter what
is going on at the park.
The band does not hope to do much
more than erect the building this sum-
mer, but the improvements will con-
tinue until the park is as complete as
any in the west.
Some day it may belong to the city,
and all the work done on it will be
with chis ultimate end in view.

DR.EMBREE'S COMMENT
Speaks Bitterly of the Ease With
Which Character Can Be Ruined.


DR.. A. S. Embree has been elected
pastor of the North Topeka Methodist
Episcopal church at the meeting of the
official board last evening, and he said
today that he will accept the position
and preach his first sermon Sunday.
This action is the result of the remov-
al of Rev. T. E. Chandler, pastor of the
North Topeka church. who is going to
Boston to complete his education.
When it was fully decided that Mr.
Chandler would leave, Bishop Vincent
assigned DR.. Embree to the pastorate,
and the official board endorsed the ap-
pointment at the meeting.
DR.. Embree was asked today whether
his acceptance of the pulpit of the
North Topeka church would be perma-
nent, and he replied that it would be-
I cannot go anywhere else said he

cept here in Topeka and in Kansas It
is one of the results of our civilization
that anyone, no matter what the char
acter of the person, may injure an in
dividual with a scandalous report, how
ever untrue it may be"
1t is evident that the outrageous at
tack on DR.. Embree has left deep
wound from which he will not soon re-
cover.
1t was said on the streets today that
the appointment of DR.. Embree to the
North Topeka church was only a step
to get him back to the First church, but
prominent members of the church deny
that there is any arrangement of the
kind contemplated.

BIG CHINESE CONTRACT.
Party of 173 to Make 100000 Sal
mon Cans.

Tacoma. March 3O.-One hundred and
seventy three Chinese passed through
this city yesterday enrOute from Port
land to Blaine. Wash, where they will
make 1900, 600 or 5000, 900 cans for the
canneries of the Alaska Packers assoc
citation at Blaine and SemiahmOo.
The men are under contract to Ching
Sen, a Chinese contractor, who has
guarantee 100000 cans ready for
the association by July l, when they
will probably be first needed. Sen is
accompanying the men to Blaine. He
may make considerably more cans than
the number guaranteed. The number
guaranteed will fill 10000 cases of the
ordinary commercial size, and it may
be that enough will be manufactured
to fill 100000 cases.
The canneries furnish the tin plate,
the machinery and the buildings in
which the cans are made.
There is a movement of Chinese to
and from Portland and the Sound can
year. Portland seems to be the rem
devious for the contract Chinese Ia
borers of the Pacific northwest, and
the going and coming of the men hired
there to work in the Frazer River and
the Sound canneries, and probably to
some extent the British Columbia can
nerieS further north, creates several
passages of the coolies through this
city annually.
The Chinese that do the packing for
the canneries will not pass through the
city enroute to work for the season for
three or four months.

The Length Of Life.
BY A NEW DIS
COVERY.
s. Remedy Has Been Found, That
Will Cure to Stay Cured All Dis
eases of the Kidneys.

From among the advancements of
medical science, information comes that
formula has been discovered, that
will cure Permanently all kidney dis
eases and their resulting complications
and vitiating effects upon the whole
human system.
What makes this news all the more
worthy of attention and thoughtful
consideration is the information also
received that the researches and ex-
periments, which have lead up to the
discovery of this wonderful bOOn-tO-
mankind, were entirely original and not
at all upon lines heretofore prescribed
" medical science.
The new remedy. known as Morrow's
Kidneoids will, it is claimed totally
eradicate from the system all diseases
of the kidneys, including Bright's dis
ease and Diabetes, thus increasing to
cons. derable extent the average length
of life John Morrow, their discOverer,
is an eminent chemist of Springfield,
Ohio. and his untiring efforts in behalf
of mankind deserve to be rewarded
with every honor that thankful human
ity can bestOw.
Morrow's KidneOfds are composed of
well known remedies, the full strength
of which are concentrated in yellow
tablet form, all materials calculated to
retard the actions of the remedial parts
and throw unnecessary work upon the
kidneys. being thoroughly eliminated.
The sensation created by Pasteur. when
he announced to the world his hydro
phobia cure. has been alone equalled by
this preparation.
This remdy has made extraordinary
cures of all kinds of kidney troubles in
most every section of the United States,
sufficient to show that, no matter where
or under what conditions or climate the
sufferer may live, Morrows Kidneoids
will effect an entire cure as rapidly as
possible, consistent with the nature of
each case and it's special demands.

THE SOUTH IS DISGUISED.
Denunciation of the Administrations
Policy in the Cuban Question.

Policy in the Cuban Question.
Atlanta. Ca, March 30 What's Nc
Kinley doing today? He's writing
message apologizing to Spain for hav-
ing sent the Maine to Havana
This gag, prevalent in Atlanta ex-
press the intense disgust felt by the
southern people as whole at the atti-
tude of the administration in Washing
ton. The southern people would suffer
more from war than those of any other
section. Cotton would be unstable
and the southern states would be on the
picket line, yet these people are to a
man in favor of forcing Spain either to
a complete back down and evacuation
of Cuba or else to war.
Southern craftsmanship and south
ern feeling cannot understand why the
United States should officially and
practically feed and cIothe the people
of Cuba and give Spain six months
more in which to conquer them. They
say such an agreement with Spain
would make this country the laughing
stock of other nations and it is conSid-
cred incredible here that a majority can
be secured in congress for such poll
cy. War is not desired for wars sake
but peace in Cuba is demanded that
the strain may be removed from the
sympathies and pockets of the Ameri-
can people. The boom in the stock
market yesterday is taken to indicate
the triumph of commercial interests in
their struggle with the administration
for a peace at any price policy.

New York, March 3O.-Carolus Duran
the famous French portrait painter
who is in New York for the purpose of
making some portraits, was asked this
question:
who is the most beautiful woman
whose portrait you ever painted? 4"
'Ah, my dear sir protested NJ. Du-
ran, you ask too much. I am not in
Paris. Besides, it would be indiscreet.

full that am not able to say which one
was the most beautiful. can name you

Croker, the Countess of Warwick.
Mrs Deacon, Queen Maria Pia of POr-

Comtesse de Vandal, the Princess de
Wagram."
Now, M. Duran, would you be kind
enough to indicate whom you consider
the three most typical beauties OF
France, England and the United
States?" asked the reporter.
Mr.. Duran agreed that the COmtesse
de Pourtales in France, the Countess of
Warwick in England, and Miss Mamie
Letter in the United States might be so
considered.

THAT CHEMICAL ENGINE.
Ladies of Southwest Portion of the
City are in Earnest.

At a meeting of the Nautilus club of
College Hill, held yesterday afternoon
at the residence of Mrs. Thomas Lyon,
a resolution was introduced and unan-
imOusly adopted pledging the efforts of
the club in the movement to have a
chemical engine established near Fiji
teenth and Lane streets for the protec-
ton OF College Hill, LOwman Hill and
Martin and Dennis addition.
The ladies of the club decided that if
necessary they would attend the coun-
ell meeting in a body to work for the
measure
The matter will be presented to the
city council at its meeting Monday eV-
ening, and Chief Wilmarth and Mayor
Fellows have promised to do all they
can to have the measure passed. The
citizens in that locality will probably
secure a lot and erect a suita BILE build
ing if the city will furnish the chemical
engine and maintain it.
Residents living on the edge of the
city have signified their willingness to
subscribe a propOrtionate share for the
fire protection which would be afforded.

Is in Topeka Conferring With Officials

Chancellor F. H. Snow of the state

what is best to be done concerning the
rebuilding of the power house which
was destroyed by fire last week.
Nothing definite has been arranged
explained Mr.. Snow, but we hope to be
able to continue the work of the school
at an early date.
Il will write at once to the members
of the senate and ask if they favor the
construction of new building. If SO,
then private funds will be used to re-
place the one destroyed by fire"
The communications are addressed to

LEAVE 1T TO OFFICERS.
Committee of Seventeen Will Leave
Enforcement of the Laws to
the Proper officers.

Since the temperance committee was
baked in it's attempt to take the depo-
sitions of witnesses in joint injunction
cases, nothing more has been done. At
first it was given out that the deposit
ton question would be submitted to the
supreme court, but that has been given
up. Now the committee has issued an
address in which it says that the COM
mittee will do nothing more for some
time and give the officers a clear field.
Any further activity of the Committee
of Seventeen will look toward the cleo
ton of officers who will enforce the
prohibitory law instead of attempting
to enforce it themselves.
