Mothers who have young daughters Of
school age should watch their health more
carefully than their studies- The proper
development Of their body is Of the first i'm
portance. After the confinement of the
school room, plenty Of out-ofdoOr exercise
should be taken. Il is better that their
children never learn their a, b. c's, than that
by learning them they lose their health
But all this is selfevident. Everyone
admits it-everyone knows It, but everyone
does not know how 10 build them up when

method of one mother, If rightly applied,

Mrs. Sterhen Barnes, who lives near Bur-

fond Of books, although her progress in this
line has been considerably retarded by the
considerable amount Of sickness she has ex-
peTienced. She has missed two years Of
school on account of her bad health, but now
she will be able to pursue her studies, since
her health has been restored.

was twelve years old, she began to grow

and her nerves were at snch tension that
the least little noise would irritate her very
much, and she was very miserable. There
was a continual twitching in the arms and
lower limbs, and we were afraid that she
was going to develop St. Yitus' dance.

WEARY IN WELL DOING.
Now Chief Steele Wishes Wheelmen
to Ride on Sidewalks.

Chief of Police Steele is a hard work
ing man and he wants the council to
relieve him by passing an ordinance al
lowing cyclists to use the sidewalks. 1t
may make some damage suits and re-
suit in the killing of a few people, but
Chief Steele would be relieved.
He was at the council meeting ask
ing for the repeal of the ordinance. He
said it gave him more trouble than any
ordinance, and he received 40 or so
complaints week about cyclists using
the sidewalks. He wanted the council
men to go with him tc Bethany Col
lege and see the class of people who vi
olate the ordinance. He wound up his
remarks by saying There ought to be
something did with this bicycle or
dinance.''
The committee on judiciary was in
structed to did" something-prepare
an ordinance, or something.
This is a question that has been
fought over and the counciimen know
that the people will not tolerate the
use of the sidewalks by wheelmen.

Valley Falls Declares Against Prohi-
bition in Mondays Election.

After the hottest and most bitter
campaign in the history of the city the
people OF Valley Falls, at the election
held Monday voted in favor of permit
ting joints to run under the system Of
monthly collection of fines.
The people of the town have never
before taken such interest in an cleo
tion. Union meetings were held in the
churches, except the Christian, the
minister, Elder t. A. Rothwell declin-
ing to cooperate; prayer meetings
were held at the home of citizens, and
the law and order league made a
mighty effort to down the whiskyites,
who had their candidates on the"Tax-
payers ticket
The fight warmed up to such an ex-
tent that G. B. Harmon, editor of the
Vindicator, published daily during the
campaign, under the name Law and
Order Daily Flyer but the prohibi-
tionists were clearly defeated. The
Taxpayers candidate for mayor, J. A.
Evans, was elected over E. D. Bowers,
by vote of 277 to 225. There was also
much interest in the contest for mar
shall, or in other words for the position
of collector of the fines, between Louis
Newman and Allen Stockwell. The
former was elected by a vote of $50 to

FIRE SCENE WAS GREAT.
So the Graham Earle Audience Was
Pretty Well Pleased.

Graham Earle and his company
pleased the audience that witnessed
1.-THE Inside Track at the Crawford
theatre last night. 1t was ladies' free
night, and the audience was conse-
quently big enough to fill the opera
house, and very properly cheered the
hero and Missed the william. The viii
liam was bad enough to be hissed under
any circumstances, as the majority of
popular price Williams are, but he
couldn't hold a candle to the parson,
who was supposed to be a good man
It is a peculiar fact that the member
with the least ability to appear on a
stage in repertoire companies is always
picked out to play the part of the
preacher. Graham Earle had no
trouble in satisfying the audience as
the hero, but as the heroine Miss Cora
HammeI Earle looked better than she
acted.
Some special scenery was used in the
piece, and a good fire scene was car
ried out in the fourth act, that set the
audience wild The company will be

RAISED FROM THE DEAD
Archbishop of Lima Revives
After Life Was PrOnOunc-
ed Extinct.

New York, April 5.-A dispatch to the
Herald from Lima, Peru, says:
Intense excitement prevails here over
what many citizens consider the mirac-
ulous resurrection of archbishop of Lii
ma, the most Rev. Manuel Antonio
Bandini, d. D.
After an Illness lasting many weeks,
the archbishop apparently expired at
noon Saturday last He was seized with
paroxysm and as he fell back in bed
those in attendance felt his pulse and
listened for his breathing. Both it was
said, had ceased, and the archbishop
was declared dead.
Immediately word was passed
through the city that the prelate had
expired. Bells were tolled throughout
Lima, a guard of honor was placed
about the Episcopal palace and ar
rangements for the funeral were begun.

NOBODY CARED
Who Was Elected Tt Seems, Which
Shows We Have Too Many
Elections.

The election today is one of the most
apathetic ever held in Topeka Even
in the two wards where there is sup
posed to be a fighting show of defeating
the Republican nominees but little in
terest is being shown. About the only
people who are voting are-those who
are taken to the polls in vehicles.
The First and Second wards are con-
ceded to be the battle ground. In both
of these wards the Democrats claim
that their candidates will be elected
They base the statement upon the light
registration and the inactivity of Re-
publicanS. The Republican workers in
both wards admit that the contest will
be close but claim that their nominees
will both be elected.
A canvass of the First ward was
made just before noon. At the First
precinct c. A. Starbird, the Republican
candidate for councilman was watching
things and DR.. Buck, the nominee for
the school board, was keeping tab on
voters. John Blossom, the fusion can
didate for councilman claims this pre-
cinct and he is devoting his attention
to the other two precincts. The regis
tration in this precinct is 41S and 63
persons had voted.
In the Second precinct, w. e. Stew
art, the colored worker and r. B. Nc
Masters are both on the election board.
Stewart said: 1.-The contest in this
ward will be close but 1 think that
Starbird will be elected by a safe ma
out this afternoon but the small regis
tration is raising ned with u.s." The
registration in this precinct Is 313 and
81 votes had been cast.
The interest in the Third precinct was
not apparent on the surface. Mr.. Bios
som was at the polling place but he
found little to do. One team supposed
to be used in his interest was idly nib
bling at the hitching post. Mr.. Bios
som said: Il think that this ward will
be close. Of course this is a Republican
ward and if I am elected it will have
friends. believe that will go in all
right for the people do not seem to be
paying much attention to party lines.
The registration from this precinct is
346 and 55 votes had been cast
The anti-Republican workers are more
active in the Second ward than any
where and the Democrats claim that
they will elect A. P. Benson councilman
by a good majority. The Republicans
are not paying much attention to the
First and Second precincts and these
are both considered Democratic pre-
cincts." The big Republican vote will
be east of the Santa Fe tracks but the
Indifference existing will reduce that
and increase the chances of Benson
Mr.. Mattern's friends may wake up this
afternoon.
In both the First and Second wards
the only issue is resubmiSSion and the
result will be regarded as test of that
question.
Councilman Warner is in no danger
in the Fifth ward though his friends
are providing against a surprise by get
ting out their voters. Dietrich's friends
are not doing much work.
The rest of the Republican ticket has
practically no opposition.
The polls will close at o'clock this
evening.

MISS BARTON LEAVES.
Sailed From Tampa Last Night For
Red Cross Work in Havana

Tampa, Fla, April 5.-Miss Clara
Barton left for Havana last night ac-
companied by Dr. E. Winfield Egan, a
member Of her staff.
''If war is declared she was asked,
twill you remain in Cuba?"
Il have nothing to say about war"
she answered, but if it should come, as
the American people anticipate, I pre-
sumo I will have more to do than ever
in taking care of so many in trouble
and destitution. The American people
are responding nobly to the call for
assistance for the reconcentrados, and
1 sincerely hope that they will continue
sending supplies as long as they are as
badly needed as they are now.
I'm the event of war, do not appre-
hend any trouble with continuing the
work of the Red Cross, as it is recog-
nized by international law, and is sell
dom interfered with"

STIRS THEM UP.
Councilman Elliott Raps the Barber
Asphalt Company and Others.


Councilman Elliott put on a few
daubs of war paint and went after the
Barber Asphalt company at the council
meeting.
Superintendent Shafer of the COM
pany was before the council complain
ing because their contract with the city
allowed other companies to underbid
them on plumbers repairs of the pave
ment. He wanted the contract amend
ed so that this can not happen.
This brought Councilman Elliott to
his feet. 1.-The whole truth about this,''
said he, sis that the Barber company
wants to do all the work here and don't
want any other company to do any
thing. They talk about their asphalt be-
ing the best when it is really the worst
and is being discarded in Kansas City,
Chicago and other big cities. In Kan
sas City where the Barber company
and another company put down a block
side by side the Barber company wasn't
in it:
Barber company a year ago there was
money in it for some one-I don't say
who but for some one in this city,
Councilman Burgess-It surely wasn't
any of the councilmen, John.
Councilman Elliott don't say who
got money but I know I didn't get any
of it. Another thing about this COM
and put it in the pans and heat it over
and put it back in the pavement.
Mr.. Shafer-That I deny.
Councilman Elliott know that you
have done some that way
Mr.. Shafer started to reply but Mayor
Fellows raped for order and the cross
fire ended.
The question of amending the con-
tract went to the committee on judic-
iary.

SIDEWALK COMBINATION.
Brickmen Raise the Price and Shut
Out Other Contractors.

brick companies submitted any b 1s for
building the new sidewalks. Other con-
tractors boldly charge that they were

furnish the brick in Topeka. the Black
man Brick company and the Capital
City.
A. Swanson who with his father had
the big contract in 1896 said before the
meeting: I'VE submitted bid. No
one can bid except the brick companies.
