GROWING BIGGER.
List of Offices to Be Taken Out of the
Civil Service IS Increasing.

Washington, Nov. 24.-The exact date
of the issuance of the civil service order
of the president has not been fixed;
though the president has asked to have
the final departmental recommends
tions submitted at the earliest moment.
The indications are that it will be out
in few days. The president has dis
cussed the general scope of the forth
coming exemptions with the mem bers
of the cabinet and others and there
have been several consultations of late
among departmental officials. The ex-
emptions, it is now understood in addi-
tion to those already mentioned will in
clude members of the board of pension
appeals to which appeals from the ac
ton of the pension bureau first go;
law clerks go in the general land Of
fee and among others per diem en-
ployes in the offices of surveyors gen
eral. Some officials in the Indian ser
vice are said to be slated for exemption
and a few Offices in the postal service
including cashiers and others in post
offices, for whose duties the pOstmasters
are held personally responsible will be
included. Private secretaries to chiefs
of bureaus will also be taken out of the
civil service but chief clerks and chiefs
of divisions are not to be affected.

THE ROPE WAS CUT
And Three Negroes We're Saved From
LYnching.

Macon, Ca, Nov. PA special to the
Telegraph from Monticello, Ga, says:
Ed Merriweather the negro who was
lynched yesterday, confessed before he
was hanged to the murder of a. young
white man and said three other negroes,
Irwin CLANCY, Jake Glover and Mary
Ramey, assisted him. After disposing
of Merriweather, the mob rushed back
to the Jail to get the other negroes, who
had been arrested on suspicion. Ropes
were put around their necks and they
were dragged to the place where Merri-
weather's bullet riddled body was hang
ing. A large number of citizens had
heard of the effort to lynch the other
three negroes and they hurried to the
scene. It was only by the most vigor-
Gus efforts that this lynching was pre-
vented One of the negroes was about
to be drawn up on limb when young
white man jumped forward and cut the
rope The mob then gave up and the
three negroes were turned over to the
sheriff. They are now in Jail.

BROADHURST'S LINES.
His First Work Heard in Topeka Last
Night, His Last Work Tonight.

At the Crawford theater this after
noon and tonight large audiences will
witness a very successful farce by a
very successful author. At the same
theater last night a large audience
heard the first lines from the pen Of
the same author that were spoken on
the stage. At the time of his first work
he was not the much laUded playwright
he now is, but simply the advance agent
of an opera company
Perhaps few people know that the
first work George H. BrOadhurst did for
the stage was revision of the GbrettO
of the opera Martha for the Andrews
Opera company. Such, however, is the
case. The story is timely from the fact
that the opera of Martha" at the
Crawford theater last night is succeed
ed today by BrOadhurst's clever creation
What Happened to JONES'
Some years ago Mr.. BrOadhurSt was
in advance of the Calhoun Opera COM
pany and struck an Indiana own
where the Andrews Opera company was
playing. He met Mr.. Ed Andrews at a
hotel and in the course of a conversa-
ton one afternoon told him that he had
written a HbrettO for a comic opera
Andrews asked to see it, and that night
after the performance of the opera COM
pany Broadhurst read it to him. The
comedian recognized a remarka BILE clev-
erness in the composition, and while he
did not see his way clear to undertake
to put the production on the stage, he
asked Broa dhurst if he would like to re-
wise the Hbretto of Martha which at
that time was not satisfactory. Broad
hurst was glad of the opportunity and

TEN PER CENT DIE
Of the Cattle dipped" to Prevent
Texas Fever.

Guthrie, o. T., Nov. 24.-Great num-
bers of cattle dipped according to the
new quarantine regulations have died
during the recent cold spell in this part
of Oklahoma. Out of a herd of 500
dipped last week, so have died here in
two days.
Cattlemen protest against dippine
and declare that cattle cannot endure
cold weather after being dipped. The
result will be, they say, that practical
ly no feeders will be brought into Okla
homa this winter unless the live stock
sanitary board reinstates the open sea-
son. Governor Barnes has agreed to
call meeting of the live stock sanitary
board to consider complaints against
dipping. 1t is probable that the board
will suspend the dipping regulations
during part of December.

TO KILL THE CAR.
Attempt to Throw His Train
Off of a Bridge.

Berlin, Nov. PA dispatch from Ell
bing, the seaport of west Prussia, says
an attempt was made upon the life of
the czar while his majesty was return
ing from Copenhagen. Just before the
czar's special train crossed the bridge
between Boehmenhoefen and Lagern, a
switchman discovered that the bridge
had been barricaded-
BY almost superhuman efforts, as a
result of which he is now in a hospital.
the switchman, it appears, succeeded in
removing the obstacles sufficiently to
permit of the passage of the imperial
train.
An investigation which is being con-
Quoted in secret is still proceeding.

KANSAS NEW MILITIA.
Preparations to Reorganize the Kan
sas National Guards.

Adjutant General Hiram Allen will begin
in the immediate future the reOrganizat ton
of the Kansas militia There are but
very few companies now in existence in
the state as a majority of the members of
the militia enlisted in the volunteer serv-
ice, and there were not enough left behind
in most of the companies to keep up the
organization.
Colonel Allen has received word from
the war depaTt at Washington that
the federal government would be able to
supply the national guard with tents, uni
forms, guns and other equipment by Jan
uary L All of the old equipment was
used up in recruiting the Kansas regi-
mentS for the field last spring.
It is not probable that Colonel Allen will
be able to complete the work of reorgan-
ization before the new administra ton
comes in. and changes may then be made.
1t is probable that the legislature win be

is ALUM POISONOUS2
Whitens the Bakers Bread, but Plays
Havoc With the Stomach of the
Customer

Alum is used by many bakers to
whiten their bread, enabling them to
use an inferior flour, and it is also en-
ployed as a cheap substitute for cream
of tartar in the manufacture of baking
powder. Its use in bread and baking
powder is very detrimental to health,
producing dyspepsia and obstinate con-
stipation. and under certain conditions
of the human system results in poison
ing What these conditions are so far
as each Individual is concerned can only
be surmised; some popularity of the
system producing a morbid change in
the secretions of the stomach with
which the alum com bines and forms an
active poison; or, the secretions may be
healthy but in abnormal proportions,
and these lesser or greater proportions
in combination with the alum consti-
tute a poison just as two parts of mer-
curry and two parts of chlorine form
caIomel, which is not poisonous, while
one part of mercury and two parts of
chlorine yield corrosive SubIimate, which
is a most deadly poison

BIatchford Kavanagh Appears in
Chicago After Eight Years Study.

Chicago, Nov. 24-BIatchford Kava-
nagh re-entered the music world last
night at the Chicago Press club, after
an absence of eight years. His rendi-
tion as a baritone of THE Erl King
fulfilled prophecies of his friends and
teachers that he would be as great a
singer as a man as he was when a
choir boy.
The rooms of the Press club were
filled with people, among them being a
number who heard 1.-The ErI King
sung by Mr.. Kavanagh years ago, and
few of them recognized in the staIwart
young man the slender boy whose sing
infy had nIeased them so well.
