CROKER IS SICK.
Goes to a Chicago Sanftarium
For Treatment.

New York, Nov 15.-Friends of Rich
he has taken of his health so far as
eating and drinking is concerned, in re-
cent years, will be surprised to learn
that the main object of his present trip
west is to seek the secIusion of sani-
tarium, said to be in the vicinity of
Chicago, where he may be treated for
acute dyspepsia. This is the trouble
that hurried Mr.. Croker to Carlsbad six
years ago. Since that time he has taken
the best care possible of his health
Croker's present illness, it is said, is
attributed to his work and worry over
the campaign. On election night he did
not lie down until o'clock in the morn
ing, and then he did not remove his
clothes. Before he had time to get any
thing like adequate rest, political friends
were StOrming the club rooms to see
him. 1t was impossible for him to get
alone long enough to sleep. On the day
after election Mr.. Croker found it nee
essary to consult DR.. Clarence G. Rice,
who performed an operation on his
nose, removing a polypus. The opera
tiOn was said to have been entirely sue
ceSSful.
When Mr.. Croker left on Saturday he
bled as he talked. His eyes were red
and sunken. 1t was the original inten-
ton of Mr.. Croker and his friends-if
they won-to go to California. Since
1892 Mr.. Croker has been forced, be-
sides his visit to Carlsbad, to visit the
Hot Springs of Virginia, Lakewood, and
other health resorts. His illness to-
gether with disastrous results of the
election, Tammany men fear, may
prove very serious with their chief

FARMERS WILL FIGHT
The Tobacco Trust With the Boycott
and Other Weapons.

Louisville, KY, Nov. 15.-KentucIy
farmers and merchants are combining
to fight the plug tobacco combination,
the Continental Tobacco company. An
other meeting of planters has been held
at Frankfort which was largely attend
ed and at which it was announced that
assurances had been received from the
independent manufacturers and from
the tobacco WarehOusemen of Louisville
and Cincinnati that would help in the
fight The plan is to induce farmers to
refuse to sell leaf tobacco to the trust
and for merchants to cease buying.
Later the 4trust will be attacked
through the courts in any way author
lied. by law and when the legislature
meets drastic legislation will be prepar-
ed. Another meeting will be held in
Louisville, November 26 and a third in
Frankfort, December 5, to organize the
farmers and merchants of the state.
At Mount Olive, a large town in the
Burley district, an agreement has been
made by all the merchants to boycott
the product of any of the factories in
the Continental ombination. .Drummers
for these factories who formerly took
large orders there have in the last few
days had to leave town without selling
a plug and it is predicted that this
movement will spread to Louisville, Gin
cinnati and all other cities in the to-
bacco states.

Purchase of Land in San Fran
cisco by the Santa Fe
Secures Terminal Facilities Ad-
jacent to Spear Wharf.
HAS AN ENTIRE BLOCK
Besides a Large Number of Ad-
Joining Lots.
First Installment Price Paid to
Bind the Bargain.

San Francisco. Nov. 15.-It IS stated
on good authority that the Santa Fe
has secured terminal facilities in this
city.
The property chosen by the company
is situated adjacent to the Spear wharf.
Part of the land is at present occupied
by the Halfway warehouse. The Santa
Fe will have the entire block bounded
by Spear, Main, Harrison and Bryant
streets, in addition to a number of wa
ter lots adjoining. Negotiations looking
to the purchase of the property have
been in progress since President Ripley
of the Santa F'e left here a few weeks
ago and the fact is now made public
that a bond has been secured on the
property within the past few days and
the first installment of the purchase
price paid over to the owners.
While the purchase of the property
has not been finally consummated nego-
tiations have reached the point where
the deal is almost an accomplished fact.

ONLY ONE IS BETTER.
Value of the Kansas State Historical
Society Library Exceeded Only
bV Wisconsin

The board of directors of the state his
tOrical society is in session this after
noon in the rooms Of the society at the
state house to consider the biennial re-
port which will be made to the society
at its annual meeting in January. The
report is always prepared by Secretary
Adams, but as it is nominally the re-
port of the directors a meeting of the
board is held to consider it.
The report, as prepared by Secretary
Adams, shows that there have been ad-
ded to the library and archives of the
society during the two years ending No
Vember i, 1898, 2,S69 books, 5,4S6 un-
bound volumes and pamphlets, 2.615
volumes of newspapers and periodicals,
697 single newspapers containing mat
ter of historical interest, 40 maps, at
laseS and charts, 255 manuscripts, 3S2
pictures and other works of art, 81
pieces of scrip, currency and coin, 391
relics and miscellaneous articles, and
war relics.
The total library now consists of 21,-
OPT books, 20, 838 volumes of newspapers
and magazines, and 6O,417 pamphlets
and unbound volumes. With the excep-
ton of the Wisconsin state historical
library, it is the best and most valuable
historical library in America.
The most highly priced additions to
the library of the society during the
past two years have been the books and
relics of the late Major James B. Alb
bot, who was closely connected with
the early history of the state. Other
valuable additions have been made by
the WldoW OF Dr. Joseph I1ngley, late OF
Campbell university of Holton, Prof. w.
D.Alexander of Honolulu, and others.
The report speaks of the great need
of the society for more room in order to
properly arrange the library so that it
may be of easy access to the general
public, but Secretary Adams expresses
the oft-repeated hope that the next leg
islature will do something to give the
society more room.
Since the last report was issued the
society has lost a president by death

last year.
