past two years had been the province
of Santiago. where he successfully

out to defeat him.

which Gen. Toral lis alleged to have
written to Gen. Shafter,' is apocryphal
as the telegraph version contains a
statement which it is impossible for
Gen. Toral to have made because it is
untrue that his government authorized
him to capitulate."
The note continues: What hap
pened was that the war minister re-
ceiVed two kilograms from Capt. Gen.
Blanco. The first described Gen.
Torars position, which was most pitt
full because of the want of provisions
and ammunition. 1t also detailed the
enemy's proposals
In the second telegram Capt Gen.
Blanco gave the terms of the capitu-
lation and requested instructions. The
war minister replied to both by telling
Capt. Gen. Blanco to leave every mi
tiative to Gen. Toral for it was i'm
possible to recommend any other line
Of conduct.
Gen. Toral accordingly acted as he
thought advisable and would explain
before court martial the motives
which induced him to capitulate."
Captain General Blanco has cabled
the Spanish government that Santiago
was surrendered without his knowl-
edge.

coalition is being organized between

long listening for every word that was
uttered by the witnesses. There were
many friends of Mr.. Kunkel present.
More than once during the day there
were clashes between the opposing at
torneys and long arguments were made
over the admission of certain evidence.
Mr.. kunkel showed the same eagerness
to hear all that was said and see all
that was done as Saturday
The testimony of DR.. Edward Barlow,
the university chemist, who made anal
Uses OF the portions of Mrs. Kunkel's
body and OF clothing and other articles
submitted him, was a disappointment
to the state. Prof. Barlow said the
contents of Mrs. KunkePs stomach con-
sisted mostly of liquid with a little
solid The contents were first tested
for arsenic by Marsh's test, and the
method of making this test was demon
strated by apparatus.
In Marsh'S test diluted sulphuric acid
is poured on granulated zinc in a. closed
flask. The escaping hydrogen burns
with a clear flame. Some of the fluid
suspected to contain arsenic or rather
arseniOus oxide, the poison derived from
arsenic, is then introduced into the
flask. The arsenic is liberated and
escapes in the stream of hydrogen. If
a piece of porcelain be held in the flame,
or if a portion of the tube be cooled, a
shining black deposit of pure arsenic
appears. A trouble with this test is
that anthony will give a deposit sim
liar to that of arsenic. That the test
be of value it is necessary to test the
deposit itself with greatest care.
The result of the test, the professor
said, was that a trace of arsenic was
seen IN seven minutes, and since arsenic
was seen so quickly only one-thirtieth
of the contents of the stomach was
used to complete the test. He said he
thought the deposit in the tube of the
testing apparatus was arsenic, but he
had not applied all the tests for arsenic
yet, and could not be positive about
the result of the examination. On an
other test Prof Barlow said he thought
he had found arsenic, but would not
swear to it, as he had not fully salts
fed himself.

A oLAWLEss GOVERNORS

The action OF Governor Tanner in
connection with the coal miners strike
Is condemned in unmeasured terms by
the Chicago Times Herald, an organ of
the party responsible for Tanners cleo
ton, in an editorial article which says
in part:
By forcibly preventing co1ored miners
from being unloade6 at Virden and by
forcibly preventing them from earning
a livelihood Governor Tanner is viOIat-
ing and trampling upon a section Of the
federal constitution which says:
THE citizens of each state shall be
entitled to all privileges and fmmuni-
ties Of citizens in the several states"
Governor Tanner has violated every
provision OF this constitutional guaran-
tee. He has denied the right of protec-
ton to the black miners who came to
reside in this state; he has denied them
practically the right of residence and
he has denied them the right of earn
ing a livelihood.
In doing this he has tramp1ed upon
the constitutional rights of citizens of
this state as well, refusing to allow them
to conduct the business in which they
are engaged through the employment of
citizens of another state
It has been held that under the Sec
ton OF the constitution referred to a

The new pavement is but thirty feet

but is so cheap that the burden on the
property owners is not at all heavy.
The total cost of this block of pave
ment is but 81, 768 and the city pays
$500 of that amount for paving the
street intersections. This leaves but
$2,267 to be paid by the owners of the
property. The cost per lot is but about
$50. The average cost of the Kansas
With the item of cost reduced to a
sum where no one will feel the burden

serious objection to continuing the
street pavements in Topeka Time has
clearly demonstrated that brick pave
ment is the best as well as the cheap
est that can be put down.
Next year should be a year of revival
of paving. There are many blocks in
Topeka which would have been paved
long ago if it had not been for the great
expense entailed. Wide parkings will
give the city a Beautiful appearance and
on all the residence streets a thirty foot
pavement will answer all the demands
of every day traffic.
The city council will meet Monday
evening to formally accept the Madison
street pavement. City Engineer Barnes
says that he is very well satisfied with
the experiment and thinks that a thirty
foot pavement with wide parks will be
found very satisfactory, both to the peo-
pie who live along the street paved and
the people at large.

INJURED IN A COLLISION.
Cofeyvilie Man Walked Against

CofeyviIle, Oct. NV. H. Clark, the
we'll known furniture man, has been
sued in the district court by Mrs. Mary

old and feeble and that on Septem Der

Vile, Mr.. Clark. walking rapidly, struck
against her and knocked her against a.
paling fence with such force that she
rebounded and fell heavily on the brick
pavement whereby she sustained ser
ious injuries to her back, hips and
nervous system
This accident occurred while Mrs. Nc
Cullough and several others were re-
turning from the Christian church. The
night was very uark and Mr.. Clark
was returning home from the K. P.
lodge with T. G. Harbourt. Mr.. Clark
says they met the party and Mr.. Har-

Mr.. Clark says that he ran into no one
and knew nothing of the accident until
they saw Mrs. Mccullough lying against
the fence. He thinks that some one

ran into the woman and seeing that she
was probably badly injured had hasten
ed on. He denies every allegation ex-

sisted the lady to her feet

WOMEN IN A FOOT RACE.
Oklahoma Won First Honors by a
Rod at Wichita

Wichita Beacon: "Seven buxom wo-
men ran a race at Griswold park last
evening. There was great excitement.
Derby day wasn't circumstance to it.
A match between Joe Patchen and
John r. Gentry could not more than
equal it for enthusiasm A sack of
flour was the stake in this great race
and the women ran for it with all the
desperate efforts of Cuban reconcen-
trado running for loaf of bread. 1t
seemed for awhile as if life and death
hung on that sack of flour. AS a matter
of fact, the women didn't care for the
flour, but they did care for their repu-
tation as sprinters and that is what
urged them on.
'sWhen the Aid Association lodges of
southern Kansas concluded to hold their
annual picnic in Wichita and the pro-
gramme of sports was being prepared,
Otto Weiss insisted on having included
in it a race between women That was
the race that came off last evening.
ut was rs yard dash. Seven women
entered and as they stood at the line
and gathered up their surplus skirts for
the great contest, the enthusiasm knew
no bounds. There was an Oklahoma
woman in the race, Mrs. Alice Parsons,
formerly of this city, and she was the
favorite. For some reason the crowd
had an idea that an Oklahoma woman
is necessarily better runner than a
Kansas woman but why she should be
was not clear. At any rate, she was the
favorite. Miss Mabel Stevens of this
city, was the second favOrite and not
few thought, on account of local pride
no doubt, that she could outrun the
married women.
eff the track was only 20 yards
long Miss Stevens would have won, but
after that distance was covered Mrs.
Parsons outstripped her and led the
race till the end. Not a woman dropped
out. All of them seemed to be deter
mined to be in at the finish. When half
the distance had been covered the strug-
gle SCENE ed to be for second prize and
four of the women made such a, close
finish that it was hard to decide which
of them had taken the second prize.
The judges agreed that Mrs Parsons
had won the first prize by several yards
of daylight and the majority of them
agreed that Miss Stevens won the Sec
ond prize by a bare neck. Both of them
were very proud Of their honorsn
