TO TEACH SOCIALISM.
The Women's Commonwealth Club to
Bring Learned Men Here.

The Commonwealth club is arranging
for an institute Of sociology to be held in
Topeka some time during the month Of
February 1t viii last for one week
and will be conducted after the plan Of
teachers institutes.
The plan was arranged by Mrs. Annie
l. DlgSs, who IS pushing the matter
A course Of study will be mapped out
and lectures given on various topics
Each student will take notes on the lee
lures and pass an examination at the
close of the institute. In speaking of
the project Mrs. Digs said:
There are great many people who
believe in socialism andEnunicipaI own
ership in an indefinite way, but they
do not know enough on the subject to
intelHgently explain it. The object of
this institute will be to educate such
and to give a better idea to the people
generally of the intent and meaning OF
socialism. We wish to eliminate parti-
saniSm as much as possible from the
subject for if there is anything I alb
nor It is parttsanism. With that idea
in view the Commonwealth club has ia
ken up the study of the Nicaragua ca
nal. which the government will prOba-
bly, build and own regardless Of parti-
sanshlp- We hope our institute will re-
suit in a movement broader than the
Commonwealth club. which will diffuse
the principles of socialism all over the
land.
THE institute will be conducted by
Rev. DR.. George D. Heron of Grinne1l,
Iowa, and among the lecturers will be
Henry D. Lloyd, the noted sOciologist of
Chicago. D. o. Nelson. one OF the foun-
ders of La Clure. near St. Louis. where
the large prOfit-sharing mandatory is
located. and others. President Will
Prof. Bernis, and others OF the state ag-
riCultura1 college, are also expected to
take part.
1T is the intention to have three lee
lures a day on sociology. and in the
evening we will have a lecture on some
broader subject We want to educate
the people. The recent defeat of the
Populist party does not discourage me
in this work. for the principle still re-
mains. and that IS what we are working
for. The success or defeat of political
parties are only incidents along the
way. 1t all tends towards new and bet
ter ideas of government, which IS what
we are striving for"

THEY HATE HEROICS.
The Crawford Audience Liked Down.
ing Best in Comedy.

It was q good criterion Of modern the
atrica1 taste. The actor gave the au-
dience tragedy and the audience took
it in silence as something requiring too
much of an effort to appreciate And
then he gave the people romance with
a touch Of humOr here and there and
the people warmed to him to such an
extent that he was called before the
curtain at its conclusion And finally
he gave them comedy and had not the
the final curtain followed his latter
work he would undoubtedly have been
called upon for a curtain speech
The audience that saw Robert Down
ing at the Crawford theater last night
liked his ''Ingomar' better than his
Gladiator" and his Mons. Sangfroid'
better than his ''Ingomar' The triple
bill proved an entertaining innovation
and served to show that Mr.. Downing
has buried considerable versatfbility un-
der heavy tragedy for a number of
years. THE French Marriage is an
excellent comedy creation, and in this
Mr.. DOwning's work was particularly
clever It served to show that the
term 'emineEt tragedian'' does not al
ways brand a man as incapable of any
thing on the stage that does not par
take of striking attitudes and roaring
speeches.
In Miss Freda Gallick Mr. Downing
has an excellent support Miss GalIick
has pretty face and plenty OF ability,
and in "IngOmar'' and THE French
Marriage" she shared honOrs with the
actor.

KILLED BY BURNING SUGAR
Terrible Experience ofThose on Board
the Kenilworth-

New York Nov. 16.-Fumes Of burn
ing sugar on board the American shlP
KeniIwOrth from Valparaiso caused tnS
death of three men and nearly thAI o.
q fourth ..
The men who were lost were Captain
James D. Baker, who was IN command
of the ship when she left H1Io, AaWSllah
islands on Nay 10; Arthur w Plper,
chief mate and an apprentice Dos
named Henry HObsOn, said to pc TeIa-
tive of Lieutenant HobsOn. The man
who was nearly suffocated was George
Ernest Thrum. passenger making the
trip from HilO to this city
The KeniIwOrth is owned by Arthur
SaxvsU of Bath Maine He came to this
CITY and boarded the vessel at Quaran-
tine on her arrival here in order that
he might learn the particulars OF the
fire.
w1nen the KeniIwOrth was $500 miles
from Valparaiso, First Mate Piper saw
smoke coming up the first ventilator
aft. The men called to Captain BAKER
and in a moment all hands were plpeQ
on deck The coverings were removed
from the matches and smoke belched
forth in great clouds and came so uerce-
" that it was necessary to replace the
coverings. There was fuTne with the
smoke that was suffOcating- There was
nothing to be done but keep the hatches
closed. At eight bells Genereaux took
charge of the port watch and Captain
Baker Mate Piper and the mem berS OF
the starb0ard watch went below. the
apprentice boy, HObSOn. was told that
ne could turn in. When ne went to
the cabin. which he usually occupied II
was found half burned and Piper said
that he might occupy a divan in his
CPfper's) room Captain Bakers state
room was in the cabin on the starboard
side Of the vessel.
Thrum. the passenger, had a state
room on the port side of the vessel over
the store room Thrum thought it
would not be advisable to sleep there
while the fire was burning He asked
Captain Baker if he might not occupy
the lounge in the captains sitting room,
to which Baker replied that he would
be welcome.
Late at night Genereaux started for
the captains sitting room to arouse
him as it was blowing a stiff gale. When
he reached the passage leading to the
room. GenereauX was almost overcome
by the fumes of the burning sugar and
had to retreat. The first thing he did
then was to open all the doors and port
holes He made second attempt to get
into the room. but had to again retreat.
The third time he got as far as the
sitting room where he found Thurm ly
ing on the lounge, unconscious The
captain lay on his back apparently
dead. The two men were carried to
the deck In the mates room Piper
rneut Hobson was found on the divan-
These two were taken on deck and
placed on the after hatch For four
hours the crew worked to resuscitate
the men but succeeded only in the case
of the passenger Thrun. The matches
were battered down and the vessel
headed for Valparaiso.

Diphtheria That is Prevailing

Is Unusually Fatal in It's Char

HALF OF THOSE DIE
Who Have 1t - Wichita and

Topeka Should Take Pains to
Ward 1t Of.
LALF OF THOSE DIE

There is considerable alarm felt in To-
peka that the dreaded cOntagion diph-
iberia which is raging in other cities OF
Kansas may reach this city.
The diphtheria this year appears to be
unusually malignant and in Wichita
over so per cent of the cases have been
fatal In Atchison the authorities re-
port that almost so per cent of the diph-
iberia patients have died. In Paola
the rate is quite as alarming.
City Physician Mitchell admits that he
is sOmeW that alarmed at the prospect
He today issued orders for the sanitary
force to begin thorough cleaning Of
the alleys. This has been going on all
the time but with less system than will
be followed until all danger of diph-
liberia is past.
Street Commissioner Ramsey also is
sued orders to his force to commence
the work Of flushing the sewers at once.
This particular work has been some
what neglected owing to the repairs be-
ing made on the West Sixth street pave
ment but the flushing of the sewers will
be continued until every main has been
filed with fresh water and all the dis
ease germs have been washed into the
river.
There is but one case of diphtheria in
the city and that is in the family of A
X. Rodgers at Fifth and Monroe streets.
City Physician Mitchell says that the
child has recovered and that the house
Will be fumigated today or tomorrow
and this will leave the city entirely free
from the disease
City Physician Mitchell said today: eff

A PECULIAR REMEDY.
Something About the New Discovery
for Curing Dyspepsia.


The Rev. F L Bell. a highly esteemed
minister residing in Weedsport, Cayu-
ga Co., y. Y, in a recent letter writes
as follows: There has never been any
thing that I have taken that has re-
Iieved the Dyspepsia from which have
suffered for ten years except the new
remedy called Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's Since taking them I have had no
distress at all after eating and again af-

I Bell. Weedsport, n. Y, formerly, Ida

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is a re-
narkabIe rem edy. not only because it
is a certain cure for all forms OF indi-
thoroughly in old chronic cases of dys-
pepsia as we'll as in mild attacks Of in
digestion or bilIiOuSness. A person has
dyspepsia simply because the stomach
is overwOrked, all it wants is harm
less vegetable remedy to digest the
food and thus give it the much needed
rest
This is the secret of the success Of this
peculiar remedy. No matter how weak
or how much disordered the digestion
may be, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets viii
digest the food whether the stomach
works or not. New life and energy IS
given not only to the stomach but to ev-
cry organ and nerve in the body. A
trial Of this splendid medicine will con-
vince the most skeptiCal that Dyspepsia
and all stomach troubles can be cured.

TEN WHITE WINGS
Hoped for to Keep the Streets Clean
if We Can't Wash Them.

Street Commissioner Ramsey is max
ing plans for a more thorough street
cleaning system. If his recommended
tons are followed the white wings
viii be put on Quincy. Harrison and
other paved streets as well as on kan
sas avenue.
The four men in white uniforms with
carts who were put to work as an ex-
pertinent on Kansas avenue early in
the season have proven that the streets
may be kept reasonably clean by that
means. Nothing but washing them viii
make them really clean streets. Com
missioner Ramsey viii recommend that
the force be increased at once to ten
and he thinks that number Will be able
to keep all the paved streets practically
free from filth and dirt. He is now in
correspondence with the factories that
furnish street cleaning apparatus and
he is Investigating a hand sweeper in
the form of a cart which gathers up the
sweepings as il moves.
This subject will come before the
city council at an early date and Mr..
Ramsey's reCOmmen datiOns will be act
ed upon.
BY all means anything that will tend
to keep down the clouds of dust should
be adopted.
