TILLMAN,S BROTHER.
Hasn't Spoken to the Senator for
Years-He's a Candidate for
Governor

Columbus c. S., Feb. 24-Ex-Con-
gresham George D. Tillman, seventy
odd years old, but hale and hearty, and
a brother of Senator TiIlman, will be a
candidate for governor this summer
George Tillman has not spoken to his
brother for several years. When the
latter first entered the political field
his brother, the congressman, is said to
have backed him financially The rup-
ture between them is said to be that
Ben Tillman, to repay w. J. Talbert for
political service, supported him in his
race against George Tnlman and so
caused his brothers defeat George
TiIIman is regarded as one of the
strongest men in the state. In his
card he says:
"A sense of duty as a citizen impels
me to make the effort to reunite the
people Of the state and correct certain
evils which, if DONE would result in
more liberty and less taxation. To
achieve these ends 1 shall advocate sew
era1 measures that, if adopted, would
strengthen local self government and
reduce the present annual state and
county taxes at least one-fourth-say
$500, 000-without diminishing, but posi-
lively increasing the efficiency of our
government. These measures and ar
guments in support of them will be dis
cussed later on.
"I shall run as the candidate of no
faction, ring, or boss, but simply on
my character as a man and record as a
public servant

A BAD MEMORY.

The following editorial from Ewing
Herbert's paper shows how forgetful
some Kansas editors are:
1.-The next state editorial meeting will
be held in Topeka and if the Topeka
people have the good feeling we think
they have, they will endeavor to show
the editors more attention than they
have heretofore. Topeka isn't a very
hospitable town. 1t has been overwork-
ed by those desiring entertainment. So
there is justice in the feeling that TOpe-
ka is a poor town to visit for other than
business or political purposes. And yet
so many excellent people live in Topeka
that a little effort on their part during
the editorial visit might give this feel
ing quite a set back
The fact that at the meeting of the
association in Topeka a year ago the
Kansas editors were royalty entertained
makes the statement of Mr.. Herbert
appear rather ill-timed. Topeka news
paper men arranged a reception and
banquet at Library hall, assisted in
finding places for the editors and their
families to stay while they were in To-
peka and exerted themselves to make
the editors feel at home. What is more,
the association appeared to appreciate
what was done, for a resolution, over
flowing with commentator of TOpe-
ka was passed without a dissenting
vote Topeka is growing weary of this
talk about being inhOSpitable.

Almost every body has had an expert
ence like this. He has gone into a fam
iliar room in the dark to look for a par
ticular object. He knows or thinks he
knows just where to find it. He gropes
and fumbles Nainly.- losing time and
temper and possibly bruising his knuck-
les. Finally he gives up his blind search
and turns on the light. There in plain
view is what he was looking for. His
fingers must almost have touched it a
dozen times. How could he have miss
ed it?
In more ways than one, the world has
suffered for want of light. The body of
man has been a darkened house in
which science has CROPPED for the causes
of shortened lives. She has stumbled
upon some truths and some half-truths.
She has questioned dead men, but they
have told no tales.
Even today there is more or less err
rOr in medicine. That is to say, certain
drugs are known to produce certain re-
suits. But no one can tell the reason.
From time immemorial physicians have
carefully excluded the air from wounds.
They did not know why exposure to the
air should be bad for lacerated tissues,
but the discovery that the air contains
uncOuntable and unthinkable mum bers
of germs furnished a substantial reason
for plasters and bandages.

CITY r. r. IMPROVEMENTS.
New Sheds Being Built at the Car
Barns.

Work is in progress on the new shed to
be erected for trolley cars at Twelfth and
Jackson streets by the Topeka Railway
company. Some time in the spring or
early summer a track from the south end
of the new shed, east on Twelfth street to
Kansas avenue and connecting with the
South Topeka trolley track will be built
This will enable the company to run ex-
ira cars from it's sheds rapidly to the
various lines without inconveniencing the
traffic.
The main track to be used in the shed
has already been laid most of the way.
From spur east of the car office a curve
has been placed. A drop will be made
in the grade of seven feet to allow of the
track in the shed being level and that the
south end. which is on Twelfth street.
may be exactly grade. Inside the
shed there will be four tracks Two of
them will be for storing cars upon, while
the two main tracks will be used for cars
in active service. At present the large
shed is too small to hold all the cars.
The new shed will be constructed of
stone taken from the old car barns on
Tenth street.
The old horse cars, about sixteen in
number have been taken from the old
barns on Tenth street and placed on the
parking west of the old car shed on jack
son street. They will be taken apart and
the material used in them as is needed in
making repairs on the cars in service.

A. o. U. ". Grand Lodge to
Meet at Pittsburg Next.

Hutchinson, Feb. 24.-The city coun-
ell of Hutchinson has decided, so far
as that body is concerned, to have moth
ing whatever to do with the proposed
suit in the federal court to close the ir-
rigation canals in western Kansas and
eastern Colorado. A representative at
tended the water convention held at
Wichita last week and made a report to
the city council here.
The Hutchinson council passed resO-
lutions last night deprecating the act
ion taken at the Wichita convention,
ard expressing it's belief that the wa
terS of the Arkansas river can be put
to no better use than in making fertile
the lands of the western arid regions
The council takes the stand that
Hutchinson is especially interested in
the development of western Kansas,
and that any attempt to interfere with
the irrigation privileges would be work
ing against the city's own interests.

Although science grOpes a good deal
in the dark she works in a bright light
now and then.
There is much speculation yet in the
treatment of disease, but some things
are settled beyond question, and one Of
them is that kidney diseases can be
cured. This letter from Mrs. Bella HOffa
of McEwensville, Pa, tells how:
Some six years ago 1 was troubled
severely with disease of the kidneys and
I will never be able to tell how much I
suffered. l tried all kinds of remedies
but could find no permanent relief. Fin
ally I allowed myself to be persuaded
by Mrs. Simon Cameron to try War
ner's Safe Cure with the assurance that
it would relieve me. She had suffered
in the same way for many years, and
had found great help by using Warmers
Safe Cure. I am happy to say that Safe
Cure benefited me from the time I be
gan using it, and after had taken five
or six bottles I was entirely free from
all my pains, and have been in perfect
health ever since. I cannot say too
much for Warmers Safe Cure, as be-
lieve it gave me the perfect health I
now enjoy"
Women who are half distracted with
aching heads and backs and sides, nerv-
BUSINESS, sense of weight in the abdomen
and urinary disorders are like a person
who grOpes in the darkness, when what
he needs is almost under his hands. For
such sufferers this article turns on the
light.

THE TOBACCO CROP.
It Will Be the Largest Set for Many
Years.

Hopl1insville, Tenn, Feb. 24-AIl efforts
to arouse the farmers throughout the
dark tobacco district to their own inter-
ests have proved a failure, and, notwith-
standing the fact that all tobacco except
the very finest grades is very low in price,
the farmers of Christian and surround
ing counties are now making their prep
arations to put in the largest crop set
for many years.
This will have the effect of further re-
ducing the price of the weed, say the
leading brokers-that is, if the big crop
reaches maturity without any bad luck
from drouth, worms, etc. The brokers
have been trying to impress the farmers
with the fact that it is quality and not
quantity that brings in money to the pro-
Queer The prices paid on the Hopkins
vile board this week showed a slight ad-
vance over last week. There was how
ever. very, little real good tobacco offered.
The warehouse men here have begun to
hustle pretty lively, and they express the
opinion that the Hopkinsville market re-
ceipts this year will be several thousand
hOgsheads in advance of last years re-
ceipts, which were about twenty thous-
and hOgsheads, representing something
like million and half dollars.

RABBITS FOR CHARITY.

Anaconda, Mont, Feb. PA rabbit

place here.
over 800 people participated in it:
Nearly all the towns around Market
Lake We're represented, and rancherS
came for 25 miles. The small railroad
stockyards near the town had been tit

long V-shaped chuteS were erected
leading into the stock pens. AT a GER
tain hour all the people went out IN
three detachments, and after going
three miles, scattered, so as to make
circle. Before going, each person was
provided with a light club or stick. Al
a certain signal, the march for the
stocl1yardS was taken up, and the num-
Der of rabbits that came in sight was
astounding AS they neared the center
there were thousands, and as the rab-
bits jumped over the sage brush IL
made a sight no one could ever forget.
When about 40 rods from the pen,
the ground was literally covered with
them. All the people were now eXclt-
ed and yelling like mad men. The rab-
bits were so thick and bewildered that
hundreds of them broke and ran past
the hunters, who dubbed and killed
them right and left. Dozens of the
hunters, men, women and children, were
upset by the fleeing rabbits.
Finally the stock pen was full and
some places so deep on the ground that
they were piled up four feet deep,
where some of them smothered. When
the gates closed, every hunter looked
like a slaughter house man and the
ground for a. mile around was strewn
with dead rabbits. A triple-deck chick
en- car was then loaded with live and
dead rabbits and shipped to Butte to
the Associated Charities, and the rab-
bits will be given to the poor.
