SCHOOL TEACHERS HELP.
Take Up Case of Charity and Re
lieve Destitution

Police Matron Thorpe succeeded yes
terday in relieving the sufferings of a
destitute family named Chatting, in
North Topeka The family consists of
Mrs. Annie Chatting and two children,
Albert, aged years, and Mary, aged
10 years.
For several months past Mrs. Chat
Ting has been working in different fam
lilies earning a little with which to sup
port her two children. The children
were taken about from place to place
and were not afforded the advantages
of a home.
Mrs Chatting finally decided to rent
a small house and to support the family
by baking pies and washing clothes
She did SO, but has been unfortunate
There was not the demand for the work
and on account of sickness she was not
able to do much. Police Matron Thorpe
was told of the case. Several of the
school teachers who called on the police
matron were informed of it, and they
set about to help Mrs. Chatting. Yes
terday household articles, clothing and
food arrived and were given to Mrs
Chatting. Mrs. Thorpe says that with
this the family will probably be able to
care for itself as Mrs. Chatting is al
ways ready to work when able.

LOCAL MENTION.

Patrolrnan Jenkins today shot a dog
which is owned by a woman living on
Kansas avenue, between Fifth and
Sixth streets. The animal had had a
fight today and it's side was SO badly
lacerated that it would have died in a
short time.
The police last evening arrested An
ME Dennis and Maggie Burns on the
charge of disorderly conduct. They
were required to deposit $40 each which
was forfeited today.
There was mad dog scare in North
Tojeka yesterday afternoon. A large
cur ran about the streets stumbling and
coughing People were frightened and
Patrolman Whitaker was notified. He
found that the dog was not mad, but
that a woman had given it a large
chunk of meat which it attempted to
swallow and which almost strangled it.

NEGRO TROOPS CLASH.
Compel Key West Sheriff to
Release One of Their Number.

Key West, April 21-After the Cuban
demonstration last night in honor of the
United States government, an affray
occurred which shows that considerable
feeling exists against the colored
troops, or rather their presence here
Sergt. Williams of Company G, Twen-
ty-ffth infantry, was with a brother
soldier examining a revolver at a street
corner, when a policeman asked him
to put the weapon away.
According to the story of the police
sergeant, Williams refused and chal-
1enged the policeman to compel him
The policeman drew his weapon, but
the weapon missed fire. Meanwhile the
soldier blazed away. He was overpow-
cred before anyone was hurt. During
the struggle to overcome the negro sew
eral white men struck him in the face.
Williams was locked up at the city hall.
The police say Col. Daggett had issued
an order forbidding the troops to carry
side arms. The streets were well filled
at the time and it was fortunate that
no one was killed.
The escapade has raised feeling to
high pitch and further trouble is fear
ed Twenty minutes after Williams ar
rest, 25 soldiers of the Twenty-fifth in
fantry, fully armed with rifles and fixed
bayOnetS, surrounded the house of Sher-
if Knight and demanded that he re-
lease the prisoner. The sheriff was
alone and i'll. The negro troops gave
demand, and he decided that discretion
was the better part of valor and gave
up his man.
Col Daggett, when the latter feature
of the affair was brought to his atten-
ton, said he would investigate it thor
ough1y, and, if the report was true,
would discipline every man severely.
Washington, April 21.-Army officers
attach little Importance to the trouble
which occurred last night at Key West
between Sergeant Williams of Compa-
ny G of the Twenty-fifth colored in
fantry and a policeman which culmi-
mated in a successful demand on the
sheriff for the release of Williams after
he had been locked up. The matter is
regarded as too trivial for any serious
consideration.
The commanding officer will take
charge of the case and do what seems
best in the matter. A repetition of such
or similar clashes between the civilian
and military classes may lead to a dis
cussion of the propriety of the procla-
nation of martial law in the districts
where troops are modified, but the
military officials scout the idea of the
possibility of such action.

Cured.
The Old Methods of Treating Catarrh, Bron.

THEY ARE AGAINST NATURES

The New Discovery, :" Hyomei." Found to
Be the Only Rational Cure for
These Diseases.

Statistics show that less than two per cent OF
the people suffering from Catarrh, Bronchitis
and Asthma have ever been cured by any OF
the old methods of treatment. 1t seems
strange, indeed, that In this enlightened age
the reason for this utter failure to bring relief
to so many thousands of sufferers has not been
discovered before, and it only proves that men
and women, no matter how intelligent and
careful they may be in the management of
their daily affairs, lose their heads completely
and neither commonsense nor good judg-
ment when confronted by disease. How much
confidence would any one have in the physician
who proposed to cure diseases of the liver and
kidneys by forcing medicated air into these
organsf Yet there hundreds of people
here today who are doing what is equally
absurd, that Is, trying to cure Catarrh, Bron-
chitis and Asthma with liquids, sprays, douches
and atomizers, well knowing that they defy
the laws of nature, which never intended the
air passages for the use of such medicines.
