DEATH OF WASHINGTON

Washington, Feb. 5.-There will be
an interesting meeting in Alexandria on
WashingtOn's birthday for the purpose
of arranging for the observance of the
of his Country. The arrangements will
be under the control of the Virginia
grand lodge of Masons. This is pecu-
Harly appropriate because Washington

In the lodge room at Alexandria,

served two of the candles which were

SHIPLOADO OF REINDEER.
Coming Over From Lapland Accom-
panied by Women Drivers.

Washington, Feb. 5-A cablegram re-
ceived at the war department from Dr.
Jackson at Alien, Norway, announced that
the steamship NIanitoban, chartered by
Lieutenant Devore for the government,
had just sailed from that port for New
York with $50 reindeer and 81 Lapland
women to care for the animals and drive
them on the government relief expedition
when they arrive in Alaska.
The war department is making arrange
ments for the transportation across the
continent from New York to Seattle.
In answer to inquiries that have been
made at the departments instance as to
the probability of finding in Alaska the
moss upon which the reindeer feeds in his
native country the bureau of education
has submitted some correspondence its
agents have had on this subject. The in
quiry had special reference to the vicinity
of the Chilcat region. and samples of the
Norwegian moss were sent up there for
Identification. In response the Presby-
terrain missionary at Haines, Mr.. W. w
Ware writes as follows:
1.-The reindeer moss came by the last
mail and I have been asking a good many
natives and whites about it. The net out
come is that there is very little indeed
along the coast, but fifty miles over the
coast range there is great abundance.
Some say the whole country is covered.
I accept that statement with reservations
but I should judge from that there must
be a great deal

WORK FOR NIGHT SCHOOLS
Supt. Stryker is Confident of Success
in Establishing Them.

A determined effort is to be made by
Superintendent of Instruction William
Stryker to secure the establishment of
night schools in all of the principal cities
of Kansas. He hopes to accomplish this
before the end of his present term of Of
fee.
My object in desiring the establish
ment of night schools, said he. sis to
give educational advantages to the boys
and girls who are compelled to make their
living. Because a boy or girl has to start
why he or she should be denied all free
school advantages, especially when this
could be remedied very easily and with
but little additional expense to the people
of the state. I believe the educational
people of Kansas are in favor of such a
move, and would gladly cooperate in car
rying it out. My experience in educational
matters is that the people are always will
ing to do anything in an educational way
if it is brought forcibly to their atten-
ton
Mr.. STRIKERS plan is to use the school
buildings for the night schools, and in
cities where there are high schools and
short hours for the teachers, he believes
that an arrangement could be effected by
which the teachers would give two hours
of their time in the evening without any
increase in salary In the event that
teachers would have to be paid extra for
the extra time, he believes that the peo-
trictS would be willing to bear addi-
tionaI expense in order to give the younger
working class opportunity to secure
free education.

The table itself was in the form of an

with the tropical luxUriance of the
palms about the edge of the room.

OUR MONEY IN OUR POCKET
Instead of Supporting a Lot More
Leland HANGERS On.

Topeka is fighting the proposition to
divide the state into two federal judi
cial districts. Topeka is a hog. Moth
ing satisfies its greed. 1t cares nothing
for the convenience of other portions OF
the state only as it contributes to the
advantage of Topeka The division of
the state into two districts would cost
Topeka nothing, save the loss of the
Incidental hotel bills and the presence
of numerous lawyers and ltigants, who
are compelled, at extra expense to
travel to the capital to find a federal
judge.-Wichita Eagle.
The reason why Topeka does not want
two federal districts is because it is Cy
LeIand's scheme to find places for a
number of his followers who must have
jobs or earn their own living. Cy Lee
land has already quartered a large
portion of his family on the public and
many of his friends, and Topeka OBJ
jeets to supporting any more of them or
assisting any measure which will have
that result. Besides, Kansas no
more needs two federal judicial dis
tricts than she needs two governors.
There is less than half the federal liti-
cation there was years ago. The pres
ent federal court is easily taking care
of all the business

GRAIN EXPORTS DECLINE.
Heavy Falling Off in Wheat, Grain
and Flour.

New York, Feb. 5-Bradstreet's says:
Severely cold weather, accompanied
by high winds and heavy snow, has
been feature exercising considerable
influence upon the movement and dis
tributiOn of staple goods this week.
The northern and eastern states appear
to have felt the effects OF the storm
most severely.
In spite of this interruption of bust
ness, satisfactory trade for the season
is reported in most lines with special
activity reported in the iron and steel
trades and kindred lines. In the east
the distribution of dry goods and wool
has been checked and the movement of
produce greatly interfered with, but
the tone of the cotton goods situation
is, if anything, improved.
In the middle states and in the cen
trail west the movement of iron into con-
sumption is still very large, but nerv-
BUSINESS as to possible OVerprOductiOn
affects that market.
Steel is slightly lower at the east, but
firmly held at Chicago, which also re-
ports advances in iron bars, wires and
nails. Western mills will not agree to
deliver steel rails, billets or rods on new
orders before July 1.
In the northwest better trade is re-
ported and cold weather has helped the
distribution of seaSOnable goods. At
the south trade is reported improved at
several important centers, and the total
of January business is said to be above
the average.
Alaskan business on the racine coast
is still very active, but export trade in
cereals is small.
Rain is needed in California or crops
will be considerably shortened. Steadi-
ness in prices has been a feature of the
week. The only decrease noted is in
wheat, corn and flour on a speculative
reaction, and is in the lead, while the
prices of oats, pork, beef and coffee are
higher.
The export movement of cereals
shows a heavy falling off for the week,
but is still ahead of the same week of
preceding years. The total shipments
of wheat flour included, amount to g.,
433 1874 bushels, against 5,026 600 bushels
last week, 3, 16S, 900 bushels in this week
a year ago, 2,9O7, 900 bushels in 1896 p
100000 bushels in 1895, and 2,678,00O
bushels in 1893
Indian corn exports also show large
falling off, aggregating 4,1O4, 981 bushels
this week, against 1852, 900 bushels last
week, 1863 GOO bushels a year ago, B.
212, 900 bushels in 1896, and 927 900 BUSH
els in 1895.
Business FAILURES, though slightly
larger than last week, numbering 295
against $50 the week before, are little
above the normal. They compare with
a total number failing in the CORES
ponding week of 1897 of 305, in 1896 of
1888. in 1895 of 293, and in 1894 of 1856. The
total number failing in the first week
of February, 1898, was 233.

MUTUAL LIES SIDE.
The Company Gives It's Reasons for
Leaving the State.

The Mutual Life Insurance company
of New York has addressed a commu-
nication to all of it's policy holders in
Kansas, giving its side of the contro-
Yersy with Insurance Commissioner
McNau
After stating that its license was re-
voked because of a refusal to pay the
Hillmon claim, as ordered by the in
surance commissioner, the cOmmunica-
ton says:
Commissioner McNaII has raised
other technical and arbitrary questions
which characterize his uniform incon-
sistency in the management of the af-
fairs of the department, working the
greatest hardships and oppression
against the company and it's business
and making it evident that the super
intendent will continually attempt to
embarrass the company in every posi-
BILE way.
'On account of this the company will
do no business in Kansas until the pres
ent superintendent of insurance shows
willingness to administer the affairs
of his department as to this company
fairly and justly, or has vacated the
office"

DATES FOR A GIRL
Contained Deadly Poison and
Almost Killed Her.

Louisville, Feb.5.-A sensational pois-
oning case which came near resulting
in the death of four members of the
family of J. w. Pritchard, proprietor of
the Hotel Pritchard, at Upton, about so
miles out on the L. and N, has come to
light through relatives of the Pritchard
family in this city.
A bout ten days ago Miss Leila Pritch-
ard, a daughter of Mr.. J. W. Pritchard,
received through the Upton pOStOffice
a box of dates. The package was re-
ceived shortly before supper. After the
meal the package was opened. 1t con-
tanned a card with the name of w. G.
Eandley, an Upton man who was
friend of Miss Pritchard, and who trav-
els in Tennessee. Miss Pritchard, her
two sisters and a brother each ate a
date A few minutes later all were
seized with nausea. DR.. Turner, the 10
cal physician, was summoned. He de-
tected symptoms of poison at once.
Powerful emeticS were admlnlStered.All
night long the lives of the four hung
in the balance. By morning symptoms
of relief were exhibited in all the cases,
with the exception of that Miss Pritch-
ard, who grew worse. Her life was de-
SPARED of for "a hours. At the end of
that time she, too, began to improve.
Al present all have about recovered.
What was left of the fruit has been
sent to Louisville for analysis. DR.. G.
A HendOn demonstration of chemistry
at the Hospital College of Medicine,
analyzed six dates, selected indiscrimi-
nately from the lot. Five We're found
to contain three grains of strychnine
each. The dates had been pulled apart
1ongitudinally. the poison put in and
the halves stuck together again. Miss
Pritchard is IL years old. She is very
pretty and the belle of Upton. In the
past month, it is said, a local beau
named Upton has been paying her de-
voted attention. This is said to have
aroused the jealousy of at least one of
her other admirers, and this incident is
being connected with the poisoning.

20 STEAMERS BOUND NORTH
Are Passed by Vessel Returning
From Skaguay

Vancouver. B. c., Feb. 5.-The steam
ship Coquftlan, which recently struck
on a rock near Mary island off the
southwest coast of Alaska, while bound
north has arrived here direct from Ska
quay, bringing direct news of affairs
in the northern territory.
The news that rich strikes had been
made on the Big Salmon is confirmed
by party who came out for supplies.
Pay dirt yielding thirty cents to the pan
has been discovered in the gravel above
bedrock. On Henderson creek, five
miles below Stewart, good strikes have
been made. 1t is likely the stream will
prove rich in gold.
Latest reports from the interior of
Alaska are especially encouraging.
Minock river and its tributaries, as well
as scores of other streams in that re-
gion, promise to surprise the world

year and all the United States will re-
joice.
1t is now generally conceded that the

that Skaguay is already overcroWded

W. CT. U. LADIES
Stand True When They Know the
Facts

She was a nervous little woman with
sallOW complexion and an uncertain
condition Of health. 1T is a shame to
have so many articles appearing in the
papers, CHASING coffee with whisky and
tobacco" she said. Whoever heard
of coffee causing a man to abuse his
wife or commit crimes. such as whis-
ky has been responsible for"
There seems to be some reason for
the little wOman's argument, until the
subject is looked upon from fair and
unprecedented standpoint. We are all
inclined to quickly resent any imputa-
ton cast upon our favorite drink or
habit.
It is a curious spectacle to a phiIoso-
pher, chemist or physician to see a
prominent w. G. T. L. woman drink
ing coffee and serving it to her family
while Immediately after breakfast she
may start in her round of work, fight
ing against whisky and tobacco. We
must allow that she does not really
know that the enemies she is contend
ing against are simply older brothers
of the coffee that has placed around her
the spell of habit which she is so free
to denOunce in those who use one or
the other of the brothers of this family;
but when she is told that coffee con-
tains the same alkalOidS as whisky and
tobacco, has very much the same effect
upon the body and nerve centers. that
delirium tremens caused by excessive
coffee drinking, is by no means uncOm-
mon, and that the active cause of much
OF the nervous proStratlOn of women
throughout America comes from that
same smooth, polished insiduous des-
troyed of nervous vigOr and physical
health, she is half inclined to follow the
example of our friend spoken of in the
beginning of the article.
When one becomes convinced that
health is worth more than the contin-
uance of a habit, then is a good time to
make a trial of Postum Food Coffee, an
article made for those who cannot di-
gest common coffee, and who like hot.
fragrant, delicious beverage at the
meals The food elements contained in
Postum and which go directly to build
the nerve centers, are shown by the an
alysis on the slip in the package. Gro
GERS sell Postum in 15c and 25c packag-
es.

GREATEST LIBEL SUIT
Ever Tried in Minnesota Ends With
Verdict of AcouittaL

Minneapolis. Feb. 5.-The greatest libel
suit ever tried in Minnesota has come to
an end, with a verdict of not guilty. The
action was brought by the Minneapolis
Trust company against the Minneapolis
Times, w. E. Haskell, its manager, and
John Blanchard, it's editor. and was a
criminal prosecution by indictment. The
case was trial two months. and the
jury, after being out "A hours brought in
a verdict of not guilty as to Defendant
Haskell, which will settle all the cases.
The indictment grew out of editorial
comment by the Times on the conduct of
the Minneapolis Trust company as the
trustee of certain West Pullman bonds, a
part of the assets of the defunct Guaranty
Loan company. These bonds, the Times
charged. We're disposed of to a sO-called
creditors association at 10 cents on the
dollar, but five days notice being given
to the owners of the bonds for whom they
were held in trust, and who We're scatter

man property, the Times asserted, was
afterward rebOnded for $4,000 more than
the original debt.
