TO HAVE A TEMPLE.
Masons of Topeka to Build $3.50
Building by 1900.

By the beginning of the next century
Topeka will likely have a magnificent
$4,000 Masonic Temple.
During the last two years. said A
K. Wilson, grand secretary of the Ma
sonic grand lodge of Kansas, the To-
peka Masonic Temple company has paid
off all but 1900 of the $14 900 indebted
ness on the four lots, northeast corner
of Eighth and Quincy streets, and by
January LIST every cent of the debt will
be paid off, and as soon as that is done
the matter of building a Masonic Tenn
pie will be brought before the Masonic
bodies.
When the lots are clear of any in
debtedness, stock will be issued and the
temple will be commenced Nothing has
been proposed as vet, but my idea is
for a building of four stories, with am
pie accommodations for all the Masonic
bodies of Topeka and large room that
can be used as the meeting place of the
grand lodge when it meets in Topeka
and for use of other large Masonic
gatherings. The building should be of
the cathedral style with enough of a
lawn in front for effect. do not think
the building should be built to accom-
modate any business houses, but only
have offices for the Masonic boards and
officers

John A Williams of the United States
court today overruIed the demurrer of
the state to the application of the Ar

er to exchange state bonds for certain
Washington county bonds held by the

state demurred to the application. The
effect of Judge Williams decision is to

clare the legislative act void. on the
ground that it is in conflict with an act
passed by congress granting to the Ar
kansas Industrial university a perma-
nent fund, which should not be invested
in securities yielding less than 3 per
cent interest.

INDIANS PAID FOR LAND.
United States Must Pay the New
York Tribes 81 100000.

Washington April 14.-In the United
States supreme court a decision was
rendered by Justice Brown in the mat
ter of the claim of the New York In
dams to the proceeds of the sale of
100000 acres of land formerly owned
by the Indians in the state of Kansas.
The lands were sold by the govern
ment and the proceeds covered into the
treasury of the United States. The In
dams brought suit and lost their case
in the court of claims. Today's opinion
reverses the decision and gives them
the money, amounting to about 81, $780,
600. Justice Brown said the Indians
had never made any formal forfeiture
of the land, and that the government
could not properly dispose of it The
chief justice and Justices Harlan and
Brewer diSSented.

Methods to Be Used by the Santa Fe
at Their Chicayo Station


1--WE expect the electrical vehicles at
Chicago to be in operation May L. said
representative of the passenger de-
partment of the Santa Fe yesterday.
April l the managers of Dearborn sta
ton, in behalf of the lines using that
terminal, established a cab and carriage
service. We had been the recipient of
many complaints of exorbitant charges
on the part of cabmen and carriage
drivers, and it was decided to assume
charge of that service.
Now a passenger goes to a neat Of
flee in the station, notifies the attend
ant of what he wants and agrees upon
the price. He is given a check for the
correct charge, which he presents with
the corresponding amount of money
when his destination is reached. The
drivers are not permitted under any cir
cumstances to accept more than the
amount called for by the check.
These machines are now being con-
structed and there is no reasonable
doubt that they will not be ready with
in the next 20 days. The charges will be
the same as for cabs and carriages

Consumption Cured.
BROUGHT BACK FROM THE GRAY

BROUGHT BACK FROM THE GRAVE.
Last November Mr.. Joseph James,
painter, of SIS w. Pearl ST., Indianapo-
lis, Ind, was at deaths door with quick
consumption. Wasted to a skeleton;
his lungs a mass of liberation; his
death was hourly awaited by his doctor
and family. He was kept in a constant
stupor with opium. A friend, thinking
to relieve his terrible cough, gave him
bottle of Brazilian Balm. Seeing its
wonderful effect, the doctor advised its
continued use. Mr.. James soon after
dismissed his doctor, and depended
on the Balm alone. His recovery was
rapid and complete, and in February he
returned to work. His lungs are sound,
and his weight greater than at any time
in his life. His recovery is regarded as
almost a miracle
