THOSE WHO WANT OFFICE
Crowd to See Gov.-Elect Stanley Be-
fore He Leaves for Wichita

The ratification last night and the
knowledge that Governor ELECT Stanley
would be in the city today has brought
many patriots to Topeka who have
claims, or think they have at least, on
some one of the appointments to be
made by the governor.
The most of them want a place on the
board Of charities. In this list are w.
r. Bolton, of PaxicO, chairman of the
Wabaunsee county Republican central
committee; L. G. Weldy, editor of the
Galena Republican; Alfred Gibson, ex-
county clerk of Neosho county; Judge
Mcdowell, of Osborne, who was at one
time on the board of directors of the
penitentiary, and r. Vincent of Wash
ington.
Among the new applicants for places
on the board of railroad commissioners
are G. A. Mcneil of Columbus, and Sen
atOr J. @. Morrow of Washington.
Ed Rose, chairman of the Republican
central committee of Jackson county,
wants to be a director of the peniten-
tiary, a place which has been held in
former years by NJ. M. Beck, also of
Jackson county.
Thomas c. Ellis OF Jefferson county,
wants some position under the admins
tratiOn but does not specify what.
Twenty-Five years ago when Mr.. Stan
ley was county attorney Of Jefferson
county, Mr.. Ellis was sheriff. At that
greater part of that party went with
the Populists he went to the Republic
cans. His fortunes have gone down hill
of recent years and he now desires his
former associate to help him out with a
state position.

A DRAMATIC INCIDENT.
! Lecturer Discovers His Danger and
Loses His Life.

1t is a scene in the Iecture-room of a
medical college in New Orleans. The
professor is lecturing before an intelli-
gent class Of medical students. He is
describing the human body, its defects
and the danger by which it is surround
ed. In order to illustrate it he has flu
ids from the human body, which he is
subjecting to chemical tests.
Gentlemen" he said, 81 have de-
scribed to you the appearance of the hui
man fluid in 3, diseased state; will now
show you how the same fluid appears in
a healthy state" and he subjected his
own to the test. As he held it up to
the light for a moment, his hand trem-
bled, he caught his breath, he paled
and exclaimed: Gentlemen, I have just
made a most horrible discovery; I my
self have Bright's disease of the kid
neys."
In less than one year he was dead.
The above dramatic and strictly true
incident shows the terrible danger and
mysterious nature of this modern dis
ease, which may well be called the de-
mon of the present century. 1t steals
into the system like a thief manifests
it's presence by the commonest synnp-
toms and fastens itself upon the sys-
tenn before the victim is aware. 1t is
nearly as hereditary as consumption,
quite as common and fully as fatal.

FLOOD TIDE OF GOLD
Net Imports This Year Amount to
$12o, 596, 24o.

New York, Nov. 1S.-A dispatch to the
Tribune from Washington says:
The importations of gold into the Uni
ted States in the year 1898 are by far
the largest in the history of the coun-
try and the expectations are the small
est in many years, while the production
of gold from American mines will prove
the largest in many years, if not the
largest in the country's annals.
The October statement of imports and
exports, just issued by the treasury bu-
reau of statistics, shows that the total
imports of gold in the ten months end
ing October 81. 1898, are $143, 65S, 095,
which is more than so per cent in ex-
cess of the amount imported in the cor
responding period of any preceding
wear The exports in that time have
been only $14, O61 $40, which is less than
in the corresponding months of any pre-
ceding year for more than a decade.
This gives the enormous balance Of
S129. 500. PAS, in excess of expectations.
In only one other year in the decade
have the ten months ending with Octo-
Der shown an excess of imports of gold
over the exports, that occasion being in
1896 when the excess of imports was
S37. O85 S61. In all other years from 1888
to 1898, the October returns showed for
the ten months of the calendar year an
excess of exports of gold over the i'm
ports of that article, that of 1895 being
S43. 247 $50 and 1894, S72. sos, 1922.
This unprecedented flow of gold into
the United States is accounted for in
part at least by the enormous balance
of trade in this countTy's favor which
the ten months of the year have afford
ed In those ten months the total i'm
ports of merchandise amounted to only
1921. 757. 554, while the total exports were
$685.. 1854, 1856. a favorable balance of trade
of $3.50, 206, SOP. The total exports of
merchandise for the month of October,
1885, amounted to Sis 6S6. 232; a sum
larger than in any preceding october in
the history of the country, the figures
for October, 1897, being Sill, .517, and
those for October 1896. $113, SIG, $50.
The enormous importation of gold in
excess of the expectation is plainly per-
ceptfble in the increased circulation
shown by the figures of the treasury
department. The latest statement of
the gold in the treasury shows a bal
ance of $242 sos, 604, while the gold in
circuIa ton on November 1 was $649, S46,-
727. being $110,0OO,0OO greater than on
November l of last year and nearly
5000 0OO. 900 more than on July l. 1896,
in which month it touched the lowest
point in several years.
The total money in circulation at the
beginning of the present month is shown
by the treasury figures to have been
81 $3.50, 575, 1872 against 81, 7O6, 1882. 904 at the
corresponding date last year and 81 509,-
725, 200 on July 1, 1896, the increase in
circulation in the last year having been
$159. S42, 1878 and since July 1, 1896, $685.
$50 582.

FIRE AT DIR. MARTINS.
Loss Slihgt-Hook and Ladder Truck
Needs Replacing Soon.

The fire department was called this
morning about o'clock to the home of
DR.. H. S. Martin, corner of Fifth and
Topeka avenues where fire had broken
out in the hall on the second floor. The
fire was caused by a defective fiue and
was easily put out with about $50 worth
of damage. After the fire the hook and
ladder wagon had to be taken to the
shop for repairs.
The ladder truck has been in use in
Topeka for % years and has about OUT
worn it's usefulness. When it was or
iginally purchased in 1870 it was a truck
intended for a small volunteer depart
ment. The city has grown and so has
the truck It has been rebuilt and re-
paired so many times that it now has
not even a resemblance to the original
one After nearly every run is made to
a fire the truck has to be run into the
shop for repairs.
-Four years ago." said Chief Will
rnarth, II recommended that the city
buy an aerial ladder wagon The sug-
gestiOn was adopted and as larger
station would be needed to hold such a
truck the city council intended to sell
the present city building so that new
one and a new fire station could be
built that would hold the larger ladder

and the building could not be sold Tor

SAVED FROM THE SEA.
Crew of a D2tch Vessel Rescued
From Great Peril.

New York, Nov 1S-The British
steamer Peconce which arrived at quar-
antine today brought into port 10 ship
wrecked mariners who were taken from
the Dutch bark Johanna, which was
found in a sinking condition. The Pc
conce sighted the Johanna flying sig
nails of distress on November IL, in lat
Sc "A, long. 54.03 and took off the men
whom she landed here today.
The Johanna sailed from New York
October 10 with a full general cargo for
Honolulu. On November a terrific
gale set in from the north northwest
accompanied by enormous seas. The
midship bulwarks and main hatch were
smashed in, the deck beams were
broken and the vessel began to take in
water at an alarming rate. The ship
was seen to weave and buckle like a
basket and it was feared that the vessel
would break in two amidships.
Captain MARS ordered out the boats,
intending to steer for Bermuda. The
first boat was dashed to pieces against
the side of the vessel. The second boat
was successfully launched, with the en-
tire crew.
The wind had in the meantime in
creased the fury of the terrible seas.
The small boat had been damaged in the
effort to launch it from the wreck, and
constant baiIing was required to keep
it afloat.
In these circumstances the eighteen
unfortunate seamen spent two days in
the vicinity of the Johanna They had
determined to return to the derelict
when the weather subsidized. Finally
on Nov. II, the wind and sea went down
and the men clambered on board OF
the wreck and set distress sig,
nails. At II o. m. the Peconce was seen
approaching and life boats shortly af-
forwards came to their rescue. Captain
MARS, the mate and several of the
men were more or less bruised. The
Johanna was built at Albasserdam,
Holland, in 1890, of 1,164 tons and was
owned by J. Vroege. She was laden
with general merchandise and ma
chinery.

Entire families, inheriting it from their
ancestors, have died, yet none of the
number knew or realized the mysterious
power which was removing them. Hun
dreds of people die daily by what is
called heart disease, apoplexy, paraIy-
sis, spinal complaint, rheumatism,
pneumonia and other common diseases,
when in reality it is Bright's disease of
the kidneys. These are solemn facts,
but all the more serious because of their
soIemnity.
There has never been but one remedy
known for the cure of Bright's disease,
or even for its relief, and that remedy
has become the most popular of any
preparation known to the world It
is Warmers Safe Cure. It has taken
men, and women, too, who were in the
lowest stages and restored them to per-
feet health and strength. It will in
Yafiably check the first stages of this
terrible disease, If taken in time. It
is Endorsed by physicians, approved by
scientists and used by the best people
in the land. 1t is a scientific prepara-
ton and owes its popularity wholly to
its power. It can be procured of any
reliable dealer, but great care should be
exercised to secure the genuine and not
permit any INSCRIPTIONS dealer to sell
anything in its place.

WHAT EKCAM SAID
To a Newspaper Reporter at Albu-
querque, New Mexico

The following about H. B. Ekcam, the
Kansas absconder, was printed in the AL
buquerque Citizen after his arrest at that
place:
When Maeke was seen by a representa-
the charges against him further than to
say that he was going back to Iopeka TO
face them and that he hoped to be ac-
quilted. He did say, however, that he
was partner, in the firm Of N ga &
Co, and that he had taken ST, 900 which
he considered his fair share of the profits
of the business and the money he had in
vested. He positively denied that he had
taken any money from the pOstofhce at
Nadeau, which he declared to be a trump
ed up charge, pure and simple He said
his plans were to leave his family in Los
Angeles and go himself to South America.
When Maclke was searched upon his ar
rival here he had only $3.50 upon his per-
son and he said that his wife had $500,
which is all that is left. of the money that
he is charged with embezzling in Kansas
less than two years ago.
In his grip were found some papers
which indicate that Macke is no novice in
the swindling business. Among others was
a letter written by Dan w Charles Of

BOYCOTT HELD ILLEGAL.
Michigan Supreme Court Widens the
Ruling of Circuit Judges.

Lansing, Mich, Nov. 18.-A decision
was rendered by the Michigan supreme
court today which in effect declares a
boycott to be unlawful and an unwar-
rantable menace, intimidation and CO.
ercion.
The case was appealed from the cir
cult court at Detroit by Deck & Son,
millers, who had obtained an injunction
restraining the Railway Transfers
union from interfering with the firm S
employees or business, but SanctiOning
the distribution of boycott circulars or
any form of boycott except in front of
the compliments place of business.
The supreme court mOdifieS the decree
by enjOining all forms of boycotting.
In a unanimous opinion, written by
Justice Grant, the court holds that eth
err singly or in combination men have
the right to fix a price on their work,
and to refuse to work unless that price
is obtained. They may present their
cause to the public in newspapers or
circulars in a peaceable way, with no
attempt at coercion. The law does not
permit either party to use force, vio-
lence, threats, intimidation or coercion.
The right to trade and the personal lib
erty of the employer are not alone in
vOlved: the right of the labOrer to sell
his labor to whom, when and for what
price he chooses is concerned. The boy
colt to injure trade is an attempt to
stihe industry and destroy competition.
The court says:
IF there be no redress from such
wrongs then the government is impo-
tent indeed. But such combination
is a conspiracy at the common law, and
in some states, in order to remove all
doubt, it is made so by statute"
The decree of the lower court is modi-
fed to enioin ''picketing," the distribu-
ton Of the bOycOtting circular, and all
acts OF intimidation and coercion.

BOUQUETS FOR KANSAS.
Rev. T. Dewitt Talnage Pleased
With the State Election Result

Kansas has come up with the unex-

The reverend gentleman was enrOute to

Il have reference to the recent state
election. And, my dear sir, you can
not calculate the amount of good it is
going to be for your state in particular
and the country tributary in general
Your action in this election was mes
sage to the east of comfort and joy. 1t
is gratifying news, indeed. You have
elected seven out of eight congressman
and the state ticket by a fairly hand
some majority. While it is very pleas
ant news relative to your success in the
state, the congressional gain is of ma
tiOnal Importance The voice or your
people is a stand for President Mck1n-
ley and his administrat ton. 1t is
patriotism and Republicanism, and ey~
erything points to Kansas as being IN
the front rank for patriotism and Re
pubItcanisn. Kansas election greeting
to the east must be productive Of good
and significant, politically, for many
wears to come. What Christianity is
to ills the human family is heir to, so is
Republicanism to legislation and gener-
al good government. l predict 20 or
more years more of a Republican ad-
7oinistration Of affairs and I am firmly
of the opinion that the ills of legislation
can only be remedied by the Republican
party in power.
Kansas has come to the front unex-
pectedly, as I have stated, but it has
come at the most opportune time. 1t
has gladdened the heart of the whole

When large building is on fire and the
that a ladder can not be placed against
the walls then the aerial ladder is run
up and the fremen can play the water
from the top of it any distance from the
building. Besides the aerial ladder it
carries other ladders. We have no sta
ton at present that would hold such a
ladder but before long Topeka will have
to have one and should have it in addi-
ton to the present one as now the lad

amount of territory We shall continue
to get along with the present one but it
