A Question of Money With the Span
iartx.

The Spanish Commissioners said they
would make their answer on Friday but
1t is easy to foresee that the Spaniards
will be 10th to agree to abandon the
archipelago without the liquidation OF the
bond debt. II Is not expected by the
President and his official advisers that
there will be final settlement of the
questions for a number of weeks The
public sentiment and the press of Spain
would rather break of negotiations than
agree to the surrender of the Philippines
although 1t Is thought here by the off,
cials that negotiations will end peacefully
with the United States coming in pos
session of the Islands for small pecun-
iary compensation Il is question of
money with the Spaniards and not a
question of money with the people, but
a question OF the superior qualities of
Heurich's beers which make them the
most popular beverage in this country.

HELD LIN N. TOPEKA
Colored Tough Robs William Kerr of
$50 and Two Rings.

1t was just made known today that
William Kerr, proprietor of the Topeka
Towel supply, was held up and robbed
at the corner of Jackson and B streets
in North Topeka shortly after IL o'clock
Saturday night.
He had been in North Topeka making
a call and was walking toward Kansas
Ave. on B street. AS he reached the cor
ner of Jackson street a colored man
ran toward him and yelled: Throw up
your hands, Al the same time he
dealt Mr. Kerr a blow on the cheek
which staggered him. The latter called
for help. The cOlored man drew a re
volver and pointed it at Mr. Kerr, say
ing: If you squeaI, I'll blow your
brains out. Thrown up your hands,"
The man then searched Mr.. .Kerr's pOck-
cts, taking from them $40 in cash He
wrenched from Mr.. Kerr's finger two
valuable rings. One was a diamond
worth probably $50. while the other
was a fine moonstone. After getting
these articles the man ran away from
him.
The matter was reported to the DO
lice department, and from descriptions
furnished by Mr. Kerr, Will Davis, a
North Topeka tough, was arrested by
Patrolman Wood. At first he denied
it, but finally he acknowledged
it and began to plead for mercy. He is
in the county jail. On several other oc-
casions Davis has been arrested for
robbery, assault, etc, but has escaped
with iail sentences

Charge and the Case is Dismissed.

Frank Brown, ex-dzputy city attor-
ney, who was under arrest on the
charge of obtaining money under false
pretenses, is now free man. The case
against him was settled by Waldo S.

want them to go out of my hands.

HUNDREDS PERISH.
Terrible Fever Epidemic Among
the Russians of North Dakota.

Bismarck, N D., Feb. 9.-Reports from
Bismarck, Logan county, give meager de-
tails of a terrible epidemic of scarlet fever
among the Russians in Logan and McIn-
tosh counties These two counties are
people largely with Russians of the poorer
classes, who have migrated to this coun-
try within the past year or two, and have
been busy finding homes and erecting
houses. In Napoleon eighteen deaths
from scarlet fever have taken place in
the past two months, and it is stated on
the authority of State Senator Wishek
that there have been 300 deaths in McIn-
tosh county, which has voting popula-
ton of about 700 The deaths have all
been of children of the Russian settlers,
among whom an epidemic is always ac-
companied with great fatality, for the
reason that they have no doctors, caring
for and treating their own sick, and take
no precaution in sanitation or clean nliness.
There is no doctor nearer than fifty
miles, and he is never summoned except
on the warrant of the state authorities,
when an epidemic becomes SO violent as
to enlist the attention of the state.
