REVISED HISTORY.
CORVALLIS Surrendered His Army In
1871 at New York.

Those poor, simple minded knlcker-
lockers who have been taught to be-
1ieve that their beloved city was in
nossession of the British during the
major part of the revolutionary war,
until the oft celebrated Evacuation day,
Nov %. 1888 and that CornWalilS sur
rendered his army at Yorktown, on the
Deninsula of Virginia, have been MS
torically upside down for more than
century. Consequently all our books
of history must be sent across the ocean
for revision.
That this is necessary is shown by a
late publication of the British govern
ment entitled Historical and Descrlp-
tive Catalogue of the National Portrait
Gallery, Abridged. Revised and Con-

BUCKLES PEN-PICTURE OF
SPAIN.

buckles History of Civilization. }
The Spaniards are remarkable for
their inertness, a want of buoyancy, an
absence of hope, which in our busy and
epterprising age isolate them from the
rest of the civilized world. Believing
that little can be done, they are in no
hurry to do it. Believing that the
knowledge they have inherited is Tar
greater than any they can obtain, they
wish to preserve their intellectual pos
session whole and unimpaired, mas
much as the least alteration in them
might lessen their value. Content with
what has been already bequeathed,
they are excluded from the great Euro
pean movement which, first clearly per-
ceptible in the sixteenth century, has
ever since been steadily advancing, re-
forming and improving on every side,
influencing even such barbarous coun-
tries as Russia and Turkey, but leaving
Spain unscathed.
While the human intellect has been
making the most prOdigiOus and I'M

While discoveries in every quarter
are simultaneously pressing upon US,
and coming in such rapid and bewilder-
ing succession that the strongest sight,
dazzled by the glare of their splendor,
is unable to contemplate them as a

While other discoveries still more i'm
portant and still more remote from or

their minds with those ill-defined, rest

While the veil is being rudely torn,
and nature, violated at all points, is
forced to disclose her secrets and reveal
her structure, her economy and her

While Europe is ringing with the
noise of intellectual achievements with
which even despotic governments affect
to sympathize in order that they may

RED CROSS RELIEF.
A Handsome Picture Given to Every
Contributor.

A national relief fund is being collect
ed all over the country to be expended
by the Red Cross society and the Cen
trail Cuban relief committee appointed
by President Mckinley. One means of
making the collections is to give a
beautiful picture to each one who pays
a dollar into the fund. The subscrip-
tions are being taken at the Topeka
Cash Dry Goods store. No commissions
and no profits are made by any one.
All the money is sent to the fund. The
picture is a historical souvenir of the
great uprising of the American people
to defend and set Cuba free. The pic
ture, to be seen in the show window of
the Topeka Cash store, is called the
"Accolade''
In the days of chivalry, the Accolade
was the essential part of the ceremony
of knighthood. 1t was the salutatiOn
marking reception into knighthood,
which was contaminated by an en-
brace, or the bestowal of a kiss, often
both.
AS will be seen in the picture, Column
bia, the allegorical figure of the United
States, is bestowing the Accolade on
poor wounded Cuba-the embrace and
kiss of knighthood, for she has proved
herself a true knight in the eyes of the
civilized world. The broken shackle,
looSened letters, unlocked by the key
of death, and stamped with the insig-
mia of wealth, and the fleeing owl indi-
cate the broken power of physical force,
of wealth, and of mere mind
The figures of Columbia and Cuba
are so combined that they form a great
heart crowned with the Liberty Cap,
suggesting that the Age of Force and
the Age of Gold are giving way to the
greatest of all the ages, the Age of
Heart
In the background the star-like flame
from the Torch of Liberty assumes the
form of a heart whose warm glow at
tracts the doves, themselves symbolic
of love and peace, and repels the crea-
lures of cruelty and darkness-the
vampire, the owl, and the flying fox.
The battery of the searchlightS, from
the advancing battleships, drives their
far-reaching rays behind the black
breaker that seems to screen a savage
foe, whose cruel shafts have found their
mark The destruction of the maine"
is suggested by the flesh wound in
Columbia's arm, and the deadly cruelty
against poor Cuba is manifest.

with eleven delegates, namely, Chey-

be put down as unknown as to how

Senator PETER Says He Has
Accepted the Nomination
For Governor ON the PrOhibi-
ton Ticket
MERELY TO FIND OUT
If the People of Kansas Really
Want the Law Enforced.
Will Not Make an Issue of ANY
Other Public Question.

EX-United States Senator PETER will
go before the people as the exponent
of one idea in the race for governor.
He thinks it is the first opportunity
that has been afforded to make a test
of the people of Kansas who believe in
prohibition. He is not a third party
prohibitionist and frankly admits that
he has never believed in the party.
In discussing his nomination Senator
PETER said today: My relation to
this campaign is this: The enforcement
of the prohibitory liquor law has been
so lax. so ineffectual and insincere con-
tinuously since early in the Humphrey
administration that the moral senti-
ment of the state has become outraged

Sherman can't change the result as
foreshadowed above. Reeder has been
doing the most active work, having
been through the greater part of the
district several times and claims that
his chances for the nomination are
good.
It is almost impossible to get two
men to agree as to the outcome of the
