view to securing a Kansas City outlet
several years ago, and as the country
emerged from the effects of the panic he
redoubled his efforts in this direction with
the result that to-day will mark the con-
summation of his plans. although many i'm
provements in the service will remain to
be made, which will come after the COM
pletion Of the short connecting link from
Carpenters Store to Cover, which will
reduce the Grand Island distance between
Kansas City and St. Joseph to sixty-one
miles.
The Entrance to Kansas City.
The contract by which the Grand Island
secures an entrance to this city was signed
July by General Manager Robinson of
that road and President Stilwell, of the
Omaha Kansas City & Eastern. The
Grand Island had previously made a con-
tract with the Santa Fe for the use of its
tracks for "A period Of thirty years from
st. Joseph to Cover. and for the tempo
rary use of the tracks from st. Joseph TO
Plattsburg, pending the building of the
cutoff from Carpenters Store TO Cover.
1t is over the Santa F'e to Plattsburg and
the Northern Connecting line of the Still
Well system from Plattsburg that the Ell
trance of the Grand Island will be made
to-day. The contract calls for the build
ing of the ten mile link by the Northern
Connecting line and its completion during
this fall
The Grand island will handle no local
business to points between Kansas City
and ST. Joseph, either before or after the
building of its cutoff, its trains running
through between the two cities without
a stop. switch tracks being operated from
the stations along the line. This will give
not only the fastest passenger service but
the quickest freight service between the
two cities.
The following statement of shipments re-
ceived and forwarded by the Grand Island
for a period of six years shows that its
entrance to Kansas City cannot but prove

The Kidney Complexion.

The pale, sallow, sunken-Cheeked, dis
tressed-looking people you so often meet
are afflicted with "Kidney Complexion"
Their kidneys are turning to parsni2
color. SO is their complexion.
They may also have indigestion or
suffer from slee Plessness, rheumatism,
neuralgia, brain trouble, nervous ex-
haustion and sometimes the heart acts
badly.
The cause is weak, unhealthy kidneys.
Usually the sufferer from kidney dis
ease does not find out what the trouble
is until 1t is almost too late, because the
first sy mptoms are so like mild sickness
that they do not think they need medi-
cine or a doctor until they find them
selves sick in bed.
DIR. kilmer's Swamp-RoOt will build
up and strengthen their weak and dis
eased kidneys, purity their diseased
kidney-poisoned blood, clear their COM
plexion and soon they will enjoy better
health.

drug store, at fifty cents and one dellar,
or you may first prove tor yourself the
wonderful virtues OF this great discovery,

Furious Storm Ragged on the Coast Of

Tampa, Fla Nov. 25 Additional
particulars have been recsiYed here
of the disastrous storm that rsged
so furiously on the Spanish Hondu'
ras coast some weeks ago. Owing
to the isolation of the island definite
information is hard to obtain. The
storm extended along the coast rom
Porto Cortez to Truxillo.
In the harbor of Porto Cortez IL
large vessels were literally torn to
pieces, and it is thought all on board
were lost. One vessel sank, carry.
ing down all on board. Similar de-
struction occurred all along the
coast Hundreds of small craft
were similarly dealt with, aud it can
be said with accuracy that at least
400 lives were lost. besides the gen.
eral loss of valuable banana and CO
coanut crops.

AFTER THEM WITH A STICK.
Robert J. Roosevelt Takes War
Investigators to Task.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 27.-I
Before the war Investigation yester-
day letter was read from Robert j.
Roosevelt, secretary of the commit
tee of the Society for the Protection
OF Soldiers. Gen. Dodge suggested
that the letter be received aud filed,
and by general consent General
Dodge's suggestion was adopted.
The letter written to the commits
sion by Mr.. Roosevelt read, in part,
as follows:
ITO the Presidential Commission of
Inquiry:
"Gentlemen: l have noticed in
the morning press that one of your
members criticises the witnesses who
have testified at the request of the
committee formed iu this city to
protect the soldiers, for the reason
that while establishing the fact that
much groundlees and inexcussble
suffering was inflicted on the army,
they do not fix the responsibility
nor show who is to blame.
IF the yiews.of your commission
are correctly reported there seems
to be a misunderstanding between
us. We supposed that all the wit
nesses had to do was to prove the
facts and that the commission would
fix the responsibility; indeed, was
appointed for the-express purpose
of fixing the responsibility.
MOTHERS can NOT FORGET.
''The heroic boys may forget their
suferings;imay even refuse to testify
to them, but their mothers will not
and their fathers will not. Nor will
it do to take refuge behind the errors
of the civil war.
There was no intentional cruelty,
such as seems to thAve so often pre-.
vailed in this war. The sick men
were not starved. Sick men were
treated with all possible attention
and kindness. Water was not sold
to fever-racked sufferers at 10 cents
a glass; food was not sold to starving
men at % cents for a sandwich, and
dainties for the dying men were not
eaten by the e-oficers.
But suppose matters had been a
thousand times worse in the civil
war, would that be any reason now
that our men should be sent with
arms out of date; that there should
be no ambulancss, no pack trains or
transportation to carry food to the
front; not half sufficient medicines
nor doctors; no proper hospitals.
and that men with freshly treated
wounds should be left to die in the
mud on a blanket, If they had one
without it if they had none-nor
even why nidwinter underclothing
should be sent to Cuba and midsum
mer gauze undersbirts TO Montauk
The uncomPlainiDg endurance Of
our men has simply been heroic
They bore wounds, sickness, priva.

ton, in fact, and abuse il the hospi-
tails which called forth letters, and

Washington, d. G, Nov 25.--An'
drew Carnegie, the iron king, the
man against whom the democrats
have for many years rallied as the
greatest beneficiary of the republi-
can rule, and the man who has here
tofore been regarded as thoroughly
in sympathy, not only with the ad-
ministration, but with all the articles
of belief and practice of the republi-
can party, has suddenly blossomed
forth into one of the most violent
OF the anti administratIonists.
MIR. Carnegie's estrangement from
the administration is due to the
question of expansion of territory.
Mr. Carnegie is violently opposed to
acquisition of the Philippines, and
has announced his intention Of
spending the winter in Washington
to conduct a fight against the pol

HIS WHITE HOUSE TALK.

a few days ago GIr. carnegie az
rived in Washington on the heels of
a statement made in New York
paper expressing himself forcibly
upon the evils, as he saw them, to
follow the acquisition of the Philip
pines. He went to the white house
and addressed the president. His
conduct was so violent that it is
doubtful if he will be invited to call
again in the near future.
Going from the white house Mr..
Carnegie talked with great freedom
for public ltion. He even expressed
the hope that if the Americans at
tempted to take control In the Phil
ippines, the insurgents would shoot
them.
During the session OF the Pan
American congress MIR. Carnegie
was quite prominent. He was a
strong advocate of extension of for
eign trade relations But now he is
the most rabid isolationist who has
come to Washing ton.
In his conversation with friends
he even expressed the opinion that
in these foreign affairs speculative
syndicates ara controlling the action
of the government for mercenary
purposes.
One of Mr. Carnegie's assertions
is that if the president does not be
come an anti expansionist he will
not have the support hereafter of
100 business men In the whole city
of New York He even inveighs
against Hawaiian annexation. but is
especially bitter On the subject OF
the Philippines, and announces that
he is going to devote his time and
means for the next few months to
the awakening of public sentiment
against the presidents policy. Until
very recently Mr.. Carnegie was one
of the presidents warmest admirers

A SUIT OVER THE NEWS
w. j. RICHARDS ASKS FOR AN AC-
COUNTING AND SALE.
The Paper Stated to BE Worth Over
S15O,OOO - COpartnership with
Messrs. williams and Smith.

w. j. Richards business manager of the
Indianapolis News, yesterday, through his
attorneys, Elliott & Elliott, filed suit
against his copartners in business, Charles
r. Williams and Delevan Smith. He prays
for an accounting, the sale of the In
dianapolis News property and the dis
tribution of the proceeds among the three
partners according to their respective in
terests.
The complaint sets out that the plaintiff
and defendants are doing business under
the name of the Indianapolis News Com
pany under copartnership agreement en-
tered into July "a, 1896. The parties to the
original agreement were Charles r. Will
liams w. ]. Richards and William Fl.
Smith. 1t was provided in the agreement
that w. H. Smith might devise his interest
in the copartnership to his son, Delevan
Smith, or to Charles r. Williams. BY his
will he did leave his interest to Delevan
Smith, who became and now is a partner.
The complaint states that differences have
arisen between the plaintiff and his CO.
partners and that it is necessary that the
partnership be dissolved and an account
ing be had.
Mr.. Richards AYERS in the complaint that
the original agreement provides for the dis
solution of the partnership at the desire of
any of the copartners. He says that Jan.
20, 1897, he notified Mr.. williams and Mr..
Smith that he desired to dissolve the part
nership, and requested an accounting. They
refused TO make an accounting, and, al
though often requested have refused to
agree to mode of disposing of the prop
erty.
1t was set out that the property of the
partnership is worth more than $150O00; that
the interest of the plaintiff is 43 1-3 per
cent. of the capital Stock or more than
$4,000; that the property cannot be divided,
but must be sold as an entirety.
The articles of copartnership filed later as
an exhibit with the complaint show that
the interest of w. H. Smith (now held by
w. ]. Richards, 43 1-3 per cent, and Of Chas
r. Williams 10 per cent. w. j. Richards, as
business manager, and Charles r. williams
as editor-in-chief, draw salaries of S. 200
year each, aside from their profits.

to Animals.


John Underwood, who lives on the Church
man pike. south of the city, was fined 50 in
Police Court yesterday morning on the
charge of cruelty to animals. Underwood
was arrested on warrant sworn out by
Humane Officer Orlopp. In Police Court
the humane officer exhibited a bottle of al
cohol which contained some small pieces Of
flesh. 1t. was claimed these had been cut
from a horses tongue by Underwood. The
latter explained to the court that he was
driving balky horse, and had been COM
PEELED to resort to an old method of starting
the animal. This consisted of fastening a
rope around the lower jaw OF the balky
horse Another horse was then hitched TO
this rope and started forward. The tongue
of the balky animal was terrible lacerated.
Underwood testified that when he found
pieces of flesh hanging to the horses tongue
he clipped them off, hoping to relieve the
animal in this way These pieces had been
picked up by farmers along the road, and
complaint was made to the humane officer.
