She was about to take a. drive in the

the carriage.
Isn't she a beauty" was the remark
of a mild-lOOking young man, dressed in
the extreme of fashion to a, companion.
The remark was OStensibly intended to

ton played about her daintily curved
lips.
She paused moment, and before she
realized what had happened one Of the
two young men slipped two neatly fold

knew that she was served" The
hooking laughter of the strangers rang
in her ears. Clutching the papers me-

NO LACK OLE MoNEY

OF all the nations which are now near
the brink of war, perhaps none is better
prepared for trouble, financially, than
the United States.
We have now s123. 600 900 of specie in
the New York banks and $169, GOO, 900 of
gold in the treasury, which, with the
current imports of SIS OOO, 900, after de-
Quoting the 100 millions of reserve gold,
makes a total available supply of S2O7,-
100000. To this may be added, on
very moderate estimate, $50, OOO 900 rep
resented by foreign creditor balances
still due US; which, in the face of war
possibilities, gives us a total available
gold resource amounting to over $780,
600. 000-to say nothing of the other
stocks Of the metal in this country
amounting to over $3.50, 600 900. These
facts show an ample financial prepared
ness for whatever may come out of the
conditions of our present foreign present
relations, and justify confidence in the
financial future from the present point
of view.

SHAWNEE COUNTY NEEDED.

The Topeka Journal has a bad
case of Leland phObia.' It's latest
spasm says that State Senator Johnson
has joined Boss Leland's gang because
they both happen to favor Bailey for
congress from this district. We would
like to see the color of the editors hair
who would accuse Hon Edwin Snyder
of having Joined Boss Leland's gang,
and yet Mr.. Bailey has no warmer sup
porter than Mr.. Snyder. Frank Mac
Lehman and Charley Curtis will find
that Shawnee county is not the whole
state of Kansas-not even the entire
first district.-Oskaloosa Times.
No; but Shawnee county gave one
fourth of the entire majority that elect
ed Morrill,, and the rest of the state
needs that One-fourth in her business
pretty bad. The banner Republican
county in the state is not used to being

WILD RIDE FOR LIFE.
A Passenger Train Dashes
Through a Wall of Flames.

New ork, March 16.-Running at a
speed of a mile a minute, a railroad train
in Elizabeth, N. J.. last night, its cars
well filled with passengers. shot through
half mile of flames that swept across
the tracks.
The fire was in the milford Coal and
Lumber company's yard. Ten big piles
of lumber fed the flames, which were
carried in almost solid sheet over the
tracks of the New Jersey Central railroad.
The engine driver of a suburban train
speeding toward Jersey City the wall
of fire rising over the track ahead. He
opened the throttle to its last notch and
the locomotive bounded forward. The
train plunged into the area of flames,
which rose high on each side, while ter
rified passengers Shrank from the win
dOws.
So intense was the heat that it shat
tered the car windows, and smoke poured
in upon the passengers. In thirty sec
onds all was over and the train darted
into clear air beyond the half mile of
fire. But that thirty seconds seemed long
to many who had made the journey, and
when the train reached Jersey. City many
curious persons gathered to look at the
cars. whose blistered paint, charred sides
and unglazed windows told of the expert
ences through which it had passed. No
other train was permitted to attempt the

first page of the Friday edition and

MUST HAVE RAIN.
California Cannot Endure the Drouth
Very Much Longer.

San Francisco, March 16-Reports
from all section of California show that
the crop conditions throughout the
state are critical.
A heavy rain within the next few
days would save the grain on thous-
ands of acres of wheat and barley and
insure good crops in many places where
otherwise there will be a scant harvest
The Sacramento valley seem to be the
most favored portion of the northern
part of the state and the outlook for
large yields of fruit and grain is good.
Recent showers in the San Joaquin val
ley and southern counties have i'm
proved conditions greatly. The dam
age to fruit by the frOsts of last Sun
day is less than was feared

Oh, YES, WE ARE ALL aHoes."

All of Cy Leland's committeeman
and clacquers have added fuel to the
fire by calling Topeka people hogs"
All right; keep it up. Cy Leland's can
didate for governor may not get a ma
jority of the vote in this city if this
pleasant sort of badinage is cOntin-
ued. Mort Albaugh who is a bright
and shining light of the Leland crowd
and publishes a paper in the wind
blown district says in his Kingman
Leader:
Topeka people are hot because the
state convention is to be held in Hutch
insOn. They, as usual with them, lay
it to Cy Leland 1t was done because
the Topeka people are hogs and wont
erect a suitable place to hold it. 1t
was done because the Republicans
whom the different committeeman rep
resented wanted the convention at
Hutchinson"
The Valley Falls New Era whose edi-
tor has just received a pOstoffice from
Joe BristOw says:
of course Topeka expected to get
the Republican state convention. In
fact Topeka is such a hog that it ex-
poets everything and offers no induce
ments to get a crowd there. We are
glad the Republican state central COM
mittee selected Hutchinson as the place
Tor holding the state convention"
We like the style of the Republican
editors and politicians, and their chorus
of: Hogs. hogs, hogs" When we get
our new auditorium, we don't know
whether we will let the CyLeland crowd
hold a convention in it. Probably
Hamilton hall will be big enough for
them next time, however.

NAME ONE TOPEKA.

AS soon as the two new cruisers
bought from Brazil can be brought
here, they will, of course. be re-chris-
tened Both, without doubt, will be
given good, old United States names
In christening naval vessels, the Gus
tom prevails of bestowing upon battle
ships the names of states, while cruis-
ers are given the names of cities Kan
sas has hitherto been represented in
neither class.
Now is the time to make a strike for
recognition. Why should not one of the
new cruisers be called Topeka? A
proper effort at the right time and
place is probably all that would be
needed, but what is done. should be
done quickly. In view of the great rush
in naval affairs, it is clear that if the
capital city of Kansas would secure the
prize, no time is to be lost.
Alabama has been doubly honored,
one battleship being named for the state
and acruiser named for her capital, but
Alabama furnished a secretary of the
navy.

coFFEYv1LLE JOINTS CLOSED.
Charged That the Mayor Has Person
al Reasons for so Acting.
Coffeyville Journal.

Coffeyville Journal.
Bright and early Monday morning
Mayor Davis ordered Marshal Plunkett
to go out and close all the joints he
could find open. The marshal acted in
accordance with the mayors orders and
found no difficulty in locating the afore-
said open joints. He informed the pro-
prietors thereof that it would be neces-
sary for them to close their places of
business until further notice. The joint
lists politely obeyed and after untying
their white apron strings leisurely lock-
ed their doors and walked out Every
joint in town was closed Monday and
the town was al dry as a bone.
The cause of this action upon the
part of the mayor seems to be plain.
The suit against him, instituted evil
IDENTIFY for political reasons, is to come
up in the district court in a few days.
Those who caused it are willing that 1t
should be Withdrawn, provided some
one will stand the costs. Those con-
cerned do not want the county to be
compelled to stand the costs, and at the
same time Mayor Davis refuses to pay
them 1t is said that an agreement
was reached some time ago whereby
those who filed the suit were to stand
the costs, but it seems they have not
done so. Hence, Mayor Davis closes
the joints here until some one puts up
the costs.

and cure of chronic diseases, will be at
the ThroOp hotel tomorrow and Friday
until 3 o'clock p. m. DR.. Flowers name
is a household word everywhere and his
patients in Kansas number into the

It is claimed for DR.. Flower by his
friends that he is the only physician
the world who can tell any sick person
his trouble better than they can tell
him. This wonderful diagnOstic ability
makes him master of his profession.
The Boston Globe, the largest daily
newspaper in New England says: Or.
Flower as a physician whose life has
been marked with every success, as
scholar of deep, thorough and broad
education. and as an orator has no su-
perior if equal, in this world

A SLAP AT PRINCETON.
By the Presbyterian General Assem-

Pittsburg Pa, March 16.-The per-

Presbyterian general assembly met to-
dav to hear the action of the sub-com-
mittee appointed at last Tuesdays
meeting on the circular letter outlining
the stand of the committee on the queS-
ton of temperance in the educational
institutions of the church. The re-
port adopted unanimously by the mem
bers of the committee and addressed to
the chairmen of the Presbyterian COM
rnittees on temperance, was like that
prepared last week, except in the mOdi-
ficatiOn of the section relating to the
educational institutions.
No stand is taken against Princeton
or any other college by name, but par
ents are warned against the encourage
ment of the use of intOXicants and are
requested to bear the temptation in
mind when they make selection of a
college for their sons.
