panfes Preparing for the Rush to
the New Gold Fields.

| Tacoma, Jan. ia railroad building
race involving the expenditure of $4,000
900, has been commenced by two wealthy
| corporations, each of which desires to own
the first railroad in the Yukon country
Each road will be about 400 miles long,
running from Pyramid harbor, near the
head of Lynn canal, to points on Lewis
river, below Five-Finger rapids.
The companies back of the railroad pro-
jects are the London Exploration Company
and the Yukon Company, organized last
summer by Andrew +. Burleigh, the prin-
cipal stockholders of which are Philadel-
phia and New York men, Both corpora
tons have engineers and surveyors at
work between Pyramid harbor and the
Lewis river
The projectors of both roads figure on
an average cost of over $4,000 mile, re-
quiring an outlay of over $S,0OO,00O for
each road. The equipment for each road
will cost about $l.000,0O0 more. Both
companies have secured rights of way
from the Canadian government and are
now working to secure from congress ne
cessary rights of way through 30 miles of
American territory.
Prepare for the Rush.
San Francisco, Jan. 1.-THE Pacific
Coast Steamship Company anticipates a
rush of travel from San Francisco and
Seattle to Alaska. when the northern

ability of existing transportation COM
panies to handle. They will have their
three big steamers, the Walla Walla, Una
tilla and City of Pueblo, running between
here and Puget sound, and from Puget
sound north a fleet of IA vessels.
The company has officially notified
western roads that it will not guarantee
passengers against delays at any of the
ports at which its vessels touch and that
it cannot promise to carry passengers on
any particular steamer, as it will be prac
tically impossible to handle the rush with

MAS Favor.
San Francisco, Jan. l3.-The steamship
Alameda, from Australia, which is due to-
day, carries in her strong box nearly 200,-
600 golden soyereigns, equal to almost
$l,0O0,000, consigned to the Anglo-Ca

added to previous ones, makes the total
gold received in the United States during
the present season from the same source
$l2,5OO,0oO, much larger amount than
has ever come from Australia as balance
of trade in California's fovor during the
same period of time. Shippers of grain,
lumber and canned goods predict still
larger business with Australia for the
coming season.

CoNvICTs IN BATTLE.

Major Thomas, one of the members
of the state board of pardons, Is a
lingo and anxious to see war with
Spain. In such an event he is in favor of
releasing all the convicts in the state
penitentiary serving time under a life
or death sentence, and sending them to
the position where the fight was thick
est to help protect their country.
After the war was over he says,
81 would be in favor of pardoning eve
ny one of the convicts who could prove
that during the fight he had killed at
least one Spaniard.''
The chances are that if the convicts
were started on their way to Key West
not more than three of them would ever
get there. Convicts are as worthless
for soldiers as they are for everything
else.

ATA A NArAToRIUM.

The Topeka Athletic association Is
one of the largest and most prosperous
organizations of it's kind in the United
states. Very few cities the size of To-
peka have an association of this kind
Its membership approximates 800, and
new members are constantly being
added. The organization supports a
big esta blishment, comprising baths,
bowling alleys, billiard and pool tables,
gymnasium, chess and checker depart
rnent, wheelmen's department, hall for
the kodak club and a reading room.
There is only one thing lacking to
make this splendid institution com
pIete, and that is a natatorium- The
club should begin to consider this sub
jeet in earnest. Hundreds of members
would be glad to assist in the construc-
ton of such a valuable hygienic i'm
provement. Space enough might be
found for a natatorium back of the
camera clubs hall. The board of di-
rectors of the Athletic club could not
make an Improvement more desirable
or one more likely to increase the big
clubs membership.

Sheriff Tries to Force the Com
pany to Pay Personal Tax.
WILL TEAR UP MAINS
Unless the Money is Paid Into
the Treasury at Once.
Members of Kansas Senate FaY-
or TX. s. u. Repairs.

Fit. Scott, April 5.-Sheriff Wheeler to-
day levied on the property of the water
works company to collect personal tax
amounting to $4,000, and threatens to
tear up the mains unless the money is
paid at once to the county treasurer
The board of equalization raised the
assessment on the water works plant
from $4,000 to $4,000 This increased
the tax $4,000. The property has just
passed from the possession of the old
company to a new one. The present
owners filed suit to enjoin the collection
of the tax, but they discovered that the
tax was levied against the old company
and dismissed the proceedings. Their
contention is that tax on personal prop
erty does not follow the owner, and that
the new company is therefore not LA
BILE
The county authorities take the OPP
posite view and for this reason the sher-
if levied upon the property. The attor-
neyS for the company assert that they
will stand pat on their proposition and
that if the sheriff tears up any mains or
damages the property in any way or
even interferes with the conduct of the
business, it will be at the peril of his
bOndSmen.

MENNoNITEs IN THE WRONG

The Mennonites in western Kansas
are f1ocking to the Office of the county
clerk in their respective counties to get
exemption from military duty. The
principal tenet in the religion of the
Mennonites is in opposition to war
The Mennonites together with all other
religious sects of similar belief, occupy
a false and untenable position. If they
are not ready to defend the government
they live under when it needs defense,
they are not entitled to it's protection.
The bond of the citizen and the state
is mutual The state is under no obi
cation to protect the life and property
of any citizen who refuses to bear
arms in defense of the state when
it needs his services. 1t is not likely
that any Mennonites will be called on
to serve in the war with Spain, but an
example should be made of any man.
Mennonite or other, who refuses to
offer allegiance to the flag while at the
same time he enjoys all the benefits of
a government which that flag repre-
sents.

He waived preliminary examination

get bondsmen and was committed to

ky from the L., K. and w. depot at
Larkin, a town ten miles east of here
The papers were not served, however,

CUBA.

Cuba is the largest and lies farthest
west, of the islands of the West Indies.
and is called the Queen of the An
titles" 1t is the most important colony
of Spain, and has an area of 43,320
square miles, about one-haf the size of
Kansas. It is $50 miles long and varies
from 25 to 100 miles wide. The volcanic
origin of Cuba gives to it the usual
characteristics of such regions. 1t is
traversed by a considerable mountain
chain, from the base of which the coun-
try expands into broad flats with Ia
goons and swamps. About it's shores
are thousands of keys, or low islets.
The climate is moist and the country
is subject to hurricanes and earth
quakes.
The population, which is small for
the area, is about 400, 900. The railways
are limited, about 900 miles in opera
ton.
The commercial interests of Cuba are
extensive. The exports of sugar, tobac-
co and cigars are the largest. The ex-
ports to the United States are over $780,
OoO, 900 annually. The internal commerce
is limited. The religion of the people is
chiefly Roman Catholic with few
protestant missions. The means for
common school education are ineh-
cient. There is one university.
Cuba, discovered by Columbus, Octo-
Der, 1892, has, with varying fortunes,
remained a colony of Spain ever since,
although she has earnestly sought her
independence, and it has cost Spain
hundreds of thousands of soldiers and
millions of money to quen liberty
striving people and a land which never
will be subdued and which the United
States will soon see free country, II
right and courage and honor prevail.
Such is the pride and the unconquer-
able spirit of the Cubans-not Havan-
ans-that many of the reconcentrados
will starve to death rather than yield
or even beg-many of these unfortu-
mates were recently wealthy and were
well educated, cultured and accustomed
to luxuries.

of the fruit into this country from the

There are probably SIS schooners en-

Propertv in Virginia

Washington, April 5.-A Richmond
special to the Baltimore Sun says that
H c. Carruth of Boston, has about
closed negotiations for the purchase OF
the Natural Bridge property.
This estate, which besides the famous
Natural Bridge, one of the wonders of
this state contains several thousand
acres of land, belongs to the estate or
the late Colonel Henry c. Parsons,
whose tragic death at Clifton Forge
about three years ago attracted SO
much attention. The negotiations OF
Mr.. Carruth do not include the natural
bridge hotel or the park and it's vast
grounds. This latter property is owned
by the Park Association, composed OF

BRoDER1cK WON'T ATTEND.
Will Not Leave His Congressional Du-
ties to Work for denomination.

Washington, April 5.-Judge Broder-
lex of the First Kansas district stated
today that he would not be in attend
ance at the district convention which
will be held at Horton, Brown county,
on April IL.
He said that for 25 years past no
member of the First district had left
his seat when congress was in session
to attend a district convention. The
rule had not been broken in 25 years,
and he would not break it now. Anoth-
er reason advanced by Judge Broderick
was that the relations between this
country and Spain had reached a crit
zeal stage and that, as we are on the
verge of war, it was imperative that
every Republican member should stay
until preparations had been made to
conduct that war to a successful con-
cluSiOn.

KANSAS AND q. S. BONDS.

If a popular loan of $500, 900, 600 is
made by the government, Kansas ought
to be able to take up about $50, 900, 900
of it. All our banks are loaded with
money from the big wheat and corn
crops of the last year, and prospects
are good for another wheat crop as
enormous as that. If popular
loan is made Kansas has an oppor-
tunity for establishing her reputation
for wealth and stability which ought
not to be neglected. The bankers of
Kansas should make every arrange
ment to enable their customers to take
a large number of the new bonds 1t
would be a great stroke for Kansas.
