COL. FUNSTON'S BOUQUETS.
Drill and Department Record of the
TwsDtieth Up to the Finest.

TWsDt1eth Up to the Finest.
In a recent letter to the editor of the
lola Register Colonel Fred Funston
quotes this compliment lately paid his
regiment by Gen. Miles:
1.-The Twentieth Kansas has not so
far gotten any glory Of a spectacular
kind out of the war. but in that re-
spect We have the company of some 250
other regiments. We have, however,
had the satisfaction of knowing that
our division commander. Gen. Miller.
who has for Al years been a. officer in
the regular army, and who served in
the army of the Potomac from Bull
Run to Appomattox, publicly stated
that in drill, discipline efficiency, and
above all in the Individual conduct of
the enlisted men, the Twentieth Kansas
is the best volunteer regiment he ever
saw. Isn't that worth something to US
and to the people of Kansas?
It would rather have that than the
record of the Seventy first New York
and the Second Massa chusetts at San
Juan HILL or of the First California
that fired those volleys into the faces of
their comrades by mistake at Manila.
The backbone of this regiment" the
colonel goes on to say, lis the high
quality of the men who comprise it.
the dreary routine of camp life and the
ceaseless drills, they have shown fewer
evidences of cold feet than any regi-
ment in the line. In public and in pr1-
vate the men behave themselves like
gentlemen and soldiers and for this rea-
son have won the high regard of the
people of San Francisco"

INCH BY INCH
Mrs. Botkin's Attorneys are Fighting
the Ground With Delaware
AuAI O1-1ties

San Francisco, Oct. 1.-THE warrant
for the extradition of Mrs. Cordelia
BOtkin for the murder of Mrs. John P.
Dunning and her sister, Mrs. Joshua
P. Deane, at Dover, Del, was placed in
Chief of Police Lees hands today. To
prevent the extradition of the accused
woman her attorneys went before Judge
Hawley, of the United States district
court to apply for a writ of habeas cor
pus. Judge Hawley refused to enter
tain the plea, saying that too much time
was being wasted in frivolous tactics
and suggested that the United States
circuit court of appeals by petitiOned
thus avoiding long delays. The Botkin
attorneys then appealed to Judge Cook,
who issued the desired papers. The new
writ was directed at Detective McVey,
of Delaware. This was done in order
to prevent Chief of Police Lees turning
the prisoner over to the eastern detec-
tive who could get out of the state with
his charge. The new writ was made
returnable on Monday when a number
of other judges will probably sit with
Judge Cook.
Mrs. BOtkin was ordered into the Gus
tody of Chief of Police Lees.
The attorneys for Mrs. Botkin now
announce that they will not take the
case to the supreme court until every
other avenue has been tried.

Old Peter Fahey's Violin Gave Out
and He Died.

New York, Oct. 12.-Peter Fahey, who
came here from ireland when he was a
boy, died yesterday at a good old age at
No. 326 Tenth avenue. He had become
famous for the sweet music he extracted
from ancient violin.
Old Peter had been i'll for several days,
and on Saturday last returned from Belle

treatment for Brights disease. Sunday
night he took down the old violin-his only
earthly treaSure-and tried to play one of

LOCKS LAUGH AT CUPID.
One Instance in Which an Adage Does
Not Apply


New York, Oct. 12-After Lena Baum,
of Williamsburg, the fancee of Nathan
Bryan, had been arrested and sentenced
to the Kings county penitentiary, her
sutton, though greatly grieved at the
turn of affairs, was still eager for the
marriage.
When the case was in the Lee Avenue
police court last Saturday B yam, with
tear-hlled eyes, begged the magistrate
to release his sweetheart so that they
might be married forthwith. Magis-
trate Kramer was sympathetic; it oc-
CURED to him that the girl might be re-
formed if Bryan was really in earnest
and that two hearts might also be made
happy.
But it was the woman's second Of
Tense and the case ended with her
transfer to the Kings county peniten-
tiary for a period of 80 days.
Bryan, who is a real estate dealer at
No. 35 Willett street, did not give up
Prison walls did not discourage him.
On Wednesday he made another plea
to Magistrate Kramer and with the re-
suit that the magistrate sent a letter
to Warden Hayes of the penitentiary,
saying that the woman might be re-
leased on the condition that she and
Bryan were married forthwith.
With a glad heart Bryan returned to
the penitentiary last evening, accOmpa-
MED by a minister. Then Warden Hayes
interposed. He said that no marriages
under such conditions should occur
there and he refused to release the Wo-
man as directed by the magistrate.
Back to Magistrate Kramer went the
eart-brOken Bryan. A long conference
followed Bryan was advised to have
the girl brought into the Kings county
court upon a writ of habeas corpus and
today it is presumed the troubles of the
young people may end in a happy mar

YALE MEMS BRUISES.
The Carlisle Indians Accused of Los
ing Their TemperS.

New Haven. Conn. Oct 23.-Bruises of
a mysterious nature received by members
of the Yale football eleven in yesterday s
game with the Indians have raised a
grave suspicion in the minds of the Yale
team and of its surgical attendants. The
latter declare that the character of the
wounds show almost conclusively that the
Carlisle players tried to cripple the Yale
men. Whenever Yale player was
downed his head gear was sure 10 be torn

Halfback Marvin In talking of his injury
Marvin's eye is very sore from the knock

thought at first that his eye had been per-
manently injured. but this fear is proba-
bly, groundless. Coy's ear was badly torn
by another Indian. and will be bandaged
the rest of the season.
Capt Chamberlin, who played opposite
big Bemis Pierce, has an anatomy that is
a mass of bruises today. His worst Is of
a leg muscle which became so painful that
the Yale captain today walked to the
training table on crutches. Allen. the
other tackle has sprained ankle, and Is
badly bruised about the head.
The Yale men declared that it seemed
to them as if the Indians deliberately
made for the Yale players faces. They
think the Indians are incapable of holding

Now Recognized as n Cause of Seri-
GUS Disease.
Acid dyspepsia, commonly called heart
burn or sour stomach, is a form of indi-
gestion resulting from fermentation of the
food. The stomach being too weak to
promptly digest it, the food remains until
fermentation begins, filling the stomach
with gas and a bitter, sour. burning taste
in the mouth is often present. This con-
dition soon becomes chronic, and being an
everyday occurrence is given but little
attention. Because dyspepsia is not i'm
mediately fatal, many people do nothing
for the trouble.
Within a recent period a remedy has
been discovered prepared solely to cure
dyspepsia and stomach troubles. 1t Is
known as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
and is now becoming rapidly used and
prescribed as radical cure for every
form of dyspepsia.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been
placed before the public, and are sold by
druggists everywhere at 80 cents per pack

An ULTIMATUM TO YALE

max Forced.

New York, Oct. 23-Cornell undergrad
yates are discussing the outlook for next
years big intercollegiate boat races, and
the majority of them are of the opinion
that Cornell must assume an attitude even
more independent than ever before. In Il
word, an ultima. um should lie sent TO Yale
that will either make the New Haven
men concede what are considered just
dues or contine their rowing to a single
contest with Harvard at New London.
According to the best authority. the
Ithaca men are laying plans by which
their athletic council will be forced to
send a plain statement of facts to the
Yale authorities. The undergraduates say
that there is no reason in the world why
Yale, If willing to row a race with Cor
nell, should not agree to play baseball and
football and also indulge in track events
with the Ithacans. The fact that Har-
ward Princeton and the University of
Pennsylvania have always been only too
glad to meet Cornell in various branches
of intercollegiate sports is being used by
Comedians as an excellent argument why
Yale should fall in line. too.
II was only by stress of circumstances
that Yale consented to row Cornell at
Poughkeepsie Two years ago, and, because
of the defeat sustained there by the blue,
last Summers race at New London was
an absolute necessity. Thus summed up.
the Cornell undergraduates have formu-
lated plans whereby their athletic council,
in response to the general demand. will be
compelled to send an ultimatum to Yale
something like this:
rDlay football baseball
and other athletic games with Cornell in
the future. Cornell will absolutely refuse
to row a boat race with Yale again. Cor
nell sends this communication, not as
threat, but as information, to be fol-
lowed by summary action"

Cornell graduate said to n reporter, when
asked about the intended def TO Yale
