HIS RADICAL EDICTS.

The Government Must Render
Monthly Accounts.

Hong Kong, Sept. 20.-A remarkable
series Of imperial edicts has been pub
lished during the past few days. The
edicts have startled the officials, while
making a favorable impression upon
the old foreign residents, who are usual
ly skeptical as to the practical value Of
such orders.
The emperor has addressed to the
people a long explanation of his. new
policy declaring that in many respects
western civilization is superior to the
existing order in his dominion and an
nOuncing his attention to adopt it's good
features and discard the bad ones.
The most radical edict establishes a
postal service throughout the empire.
In it the emperor asks people to CO.
operate with him in making the newly
esta blished system a, success, assuring
them that they will thus aid in strength
ening the resources of the empire.
practically to everybody the right to
memorabilia the throne, a privilege
heretofore restricted to certain classes.
The latest edict commands that
monthly accounts be rendered of the
government receipts and expenditures
everywhere, and that these accounts be
published.
The emperor directs that the edtcts
be posted throughout the country, in
order that the people may see the en-
beavers to promote their welfare which
he is making.

called at DR.. Flowers offices in Bos-
ton and New York, but he was not at
home. But from the waiting patients,
I heard the same old stories of being
cured after all others had failed to
help. I heard it whispered that DR..
Flower was likely to retire from prac-
tice; that he had OVerWOrked himself
for years, and every day was working
beyond all human capacity. If such
is the case, he should be physician
enough to prescribe mOQeraC1On IOr
himself. But for him to retire from
practice when he is curing the sick of
this world by thousands every year
when given up by others to die, would
be a crime against the sick and suffer-
ing of this age.-Paul Edmondson, in

fact that that it is announced that DR..

QUEEN OF THE SEA TONIGHT
This Will Be One of the Best Per-

There should be a large crowd at the
Grand Opera House tonight to witness
the initial performance of the Queen of

parade benefit given this year and it
should draw a large crowd. The general
admission is % cents.
Mrs. E. B. Meredith who has charge
of the F'OraI parade is managing the

her varied experience to good advant-

be one of the best of the kind ever seen

There viii be two performances. One

The first scene is an island of rocks

boat in search of her.
He meets the mermaids and asks
them to direct him. They call for their
drawn by sea dragons. She waves her
magic wand and the demons of the
deep appear and cause a furious storm
to capsize the boat of the prince.
The queen rescues him and takes him
to the depths of the sea, where mortal
eyes are made to see the wonders of her
ocean home, and fairy land below the
sea is opened to his view. Mermaids
naiads, sea nymphs, water sprites, de-
mons, gnomes, and all the denizens Of
the sea are called upon to contribute
to the entertainment of the prince. The
dancers, singers. and musicians of the
palace assist.

THE WARTS NOT OVER.
The Department Reminds Volunteers
of That Fact

Washington, Sept 2O.-The following
statement is given out at the war de-
partment:
1.-The war department is Just at pres
ent undergoing an experience which il
Illustrates the alacrity with which the
average American citizen haStenS to his
senator or representative in congress
for aid in emergencies.
THE cessation of hostiIities and the
1mprobability of their renewal with the
dullnesS Of camp life, has apparently
created a feeling of restlessness among
the men of the volunteer army, who, in
the majority of cases, have given up
positions Of larger compensation, and
many Of them are imploring their polit-
lca1 representatives to obtain their dis
charges, and the latter in turn are
flooding the war department with re-
quests for prompt and immediate ac-
ton.
ITO such an abuse Of privilege has
this grown that the war department
has been obliged to call attention to
that paragraph of the army regulations
which requires that all communications
from subOrdinates to superiOrs must
pass through military channels and to
decline, as rule, to entertain applica-
lions for discharges of enlisted men I'M
less they come to it in the proper man
ner.
"A soldier who is DESTROYS Of secur-
ing his discharge, and has good and
sufficient reasons upon which to base it,

reasons for his discharge in a letter adj

army and hand it to the captain of his
company, who, in turn, is required to
forward it to the colonel of the regi-
ment, and the latter to pass it along
through brigade, division and corps
headquarters, with their recommended
ton. Unless this is done, the depart
ment will send the paper back to the
company commander for his recon-
mendatiOn, and that takes time, which
may be saved by following the proper
rule.
THE department has also promulga-
ted another ruling in this connection.

Honolulu, Cuba or Porto Rico. The
reasons for this are obvious. Aside
from the question Of transportation in
volved, and the necessity of supplying
the places of those who are to be dis
charged with others from the states, it
is to be remembered that the war is
not over, and that much depends upon
the results and deliberations of the
peace commissioners who have sailed
for Paris

CONSPIRACY

Manila, Sept. 20.-The Republica Fill
pima asserts that an attempt was made
to poison Aguinaldo on Friday night
A steward, it is alleged, saw a Spanish
prisoner who had been allowed his free
dom, make a movement which appeared
like tampering with bowl of soup in
tended for Aguinaldo, whereupon the
steward tasted a spoonful and fell dead.
Eleven Franciscan friars are alleged
to have been engaged in the conspiracy.
The populace, it is further said, at
tempted to lynch all the Spanish pris-
Oners, but Aguinaldo interviewed.
At Saturdays session of the national
assembly, it appears AguinaldO was alb
sent, but his representative related the
story of the outrage to the members,
who unanimously adopted the chair
mans proposal that they all go to
Aguinaldo's house, express sympathy
with him and congratulate him upon
his escape.
During the evening a special thanks
giving service was held in the church at
Malolos
Soup intended for Aguinaldo is now

analysis before being presented to the

OnerS are kept closely confined

Frank Kellogg, a captain in the fire
department, at an early hour yester-
day. Kellogg usually sleeps at the fire
station and his wife and two children
live in house few blocks away Soon
after midnight Kellogg went home for
some reason and when he opened the
door he heard an unusual noise up
stairs. In a moment a man ran past
him and out on the porch. Kellogg at
once grabbed a loaded shotgun. He
fired at the running man and his aim
was good. Sedgwick fell, wounded in
the groin. The police were called and
the wounded man was taken to the
hospital He will likely recover. Mrs.
Kellogg went at once to her father. Her
husband made no effort to escape and it
is doubtful if he will be prosecuted.

The Midland is using its old route be-
fore the tunnel was constructed. EX-
tensive snow sheds are building and
other preparations are making for the
winter. It is hoped that with rotary
plows the 20 or 80 feet of snow that ac-
cumulates in an average winter may
be overcome and the road kept open.
The tunnel saved the Midland a 500

old route, however, zigzags up the pre-

mel penetrates a solid wall and energies

WILL BE A LAWSUIT.
John Sheahan, the Plumber, Will Sue
the State Board of Charities.

The state board of charities is at
Ioggersheads with John Sheahan, the
Topeka plumber. Several weeks ago
Sheahan bid on the contract to do the
plumbing for the new building at the
Topeka asylum and was awarded the
contract for 81 S25 which was consider
ably lower than any other bid. In or
der to insure the board that the con-
tracts would be carried out each bidder
was compelled to deposit with the
board per cent of his bid, which was
to be returned in case the bidder was
unsuccessful.
Last week Sheahan discovered that
he had figured on but two tanks where
as the specifications call for three. He
Immediately notified the board that he
could not carry his contract unless he
received extra pay for the third tank.
The board refused to do this and they
also refused to return Sheahan's 5 per
cent deposit.
Sheahan met several members Of the
board in the governors Office last even
ing and again demanded his deposit.
Again it was refused him.
1.-THE board is not responsible every
time a, contractor makes a mistake in
his figures said H. G. Jumper, chair
to advertise and let the contract all
over again, and that deposit was for the
purpose of protecting US"
But the specifications were so blind
that a contractor could not tell that
three tanks were called for" argued
Sheahan, land besides. it does not
mean much to the state, while it does
mean a. great deal to me-"
ct doesn't make any difference" re-
piled Jumper. There have been too
many jobs in the past in connection
with state contracts and we don't pro-
pose to have anything that looks like
jobbery in connection with this board
''I never heard of any jobbery,' said
Sheahan.
"Perhaps not, but the evidences of it
are on file over in the auditors office"
'TWen, if you don't pay me back I'll
go into the courts and see what they
say about it, said Sheahan.
And with this the argument closed.
