FOUGHT % TRAMPS.
Patrolmen Kesson and Hendricks
Are Surrounded by the Gang.

Detective James Kesson and Patrol
man Frank Hendricks had lively bat
tie with a gang of % tramps yesterday
a little west of the Rock Island ~,
near the river bank.
Men who were loading cars on the
Rock Island railroad tracks sent word
to police station that there was a
crowd of drunken tramps who were
threatening them.
The officers went to the place. In
the City park near the Rock Island
bridge six men were lying on the grass.
They were intoxicated and to all APP
pearances were tramps. The officers
saw them and passed on. When west
of the ''Y' they found the large crowd
of tramps They were having a drunk
en- orgy and at the sight of the officers
they set up a howl AS Kesson and
Hendricks approached, the tramps
picked up sticks and stones and threat
ened to beat them if they didn't go
away. Two of them f1ourished large
bottles of alcohol. The tramps from
the. City park came up from behind and
attempted to surround the officers. The
officers turned quickly and fought their
way out of the crowd. Hendricks
knocked down two tramps who at
tackled him. KesSon bruised two or
three and they got away just in time
to avoid an attack by the whole crowd
Two of the tramps stepped out and
threatened the officers lives. One said:
I'VE will get even with you. We will
kill you. We will poison every we'll in
this part of town. These threats were
accompanied by profane oaths. The
two tramps had followed the officers
some distance and were separated from
the others. Kesson and Hendricks
quickly turned and gave chase. They
ran the men west and captured them
near the waterworkS plant. They were
taken to police station where they gave
the names of Leonard King, aged AZ
years, occupation moulder, and Charles
Howard. aged &c years, occupation a
painter.
Both men were intoxicated. There are
a large number of tramps lowering
about the railroad yards near Topeka
and the police will make an effort to
drive them all away, or imprison those
who refuse to go.

It means depicting of the nerves IN

condition better than Rev. J. n. Nc
Cready, of E1kton, Mich. For years he
1abored faithfully and well. He was pro-
gressive and aggressive; leader among
men, deep thinker and hard worker.
In his zeal, he overworked; overtaxed
his mental and physical strength.
The outlook was dark, with health shat
tered and recovery apparently hopeless.
Many means for cure were tried, with
out receiving benefit.
Finally he took DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People and was restored to health.

fering from complete breaking down OF

Cabinet Thinks Spain Has 10000

Washington, May 2.-The cabinet dis
cussion as to the Philippine expedition

Spaniards in that quarter and the geo
graphical phases of the occupa ton of the
islands were considered. Statements as
to the troops which General Merritt S
forces will have to cope with We're sub
mitted They ranged from 5000 to 20.000
Spanish soldiers, but the conclusion reach
ed was that the number could be success
fully counted on as about 10000.
The force already selected to go with
General Merritt was believed to be more
than adequate to cope with the troops
condition as to discipline or equipment. If
the number was found greater the admin
istration would send as many men a
would be wanted to reinforce those about
to start with General Merritt.
A significant feature of the session was
the absence of any discussion of the mill
tary and naval movements as to Cuba or
the Spanish fleet. This was one result of
the policy which had been agreed on be-
tween the members of the presidents
cabinet, and aside from Secretary Alger
and Secretary Long. very little is known
by the cabinet to what is going on in
the sea south of This is in line with
the administra tons firm policy of with
holding any information that might be
taken advantage of by the enemy in view
of the frequent chance conversations of

out circulars to dairymen in which he
says among other things:
1t is very important that the dairy
industry of Kansas be well represent
ed Every dairyman, every creamery
man, and every cheesemaker should en-
ter butter for prizes at this exposition.
All western dairy states will be repre-
scented. This exposition will be open
five months. There will be five entries
of dairy products for competition; one
entry for each month.
Tt is necessary that every person
making an entry of this kind notify the
dairy commissioner, J. B. Dinsmore,
Omaha, Neb., at once, advising him of
your desire to enter dairy products.
The dairy commissioner will then noti-
fly parties when to make shipments.
Every creamery is entitled to exhib-
it one tub from each factory or skim

this, as butter from skimming stations

SPAIN NEEDS MONEY.
Philippine Expedition Will Be De

London, May 21.-The Madrid CORE
spondent of the Daily Mail says:
Lieutenant General Correa, minister of
war, assures me that nothing definite has
been decided upon with respect to the ex-
petition to the Philippines. The govern
ment will be guided by circumstances.

that Emperor William will not for the

tunity for doing 1 am unable to
state precisely the reasons why this pur-
pose of the kaiser should be known here

most positive about it.

been in circulation for some time. I know

VICTORY FOR BOYLE.
Appellate Court at Fit Scott Sustains
the Screen Law.

Fort Scott, Kan, May 21.-The Kan
sas court Of appeals has rendered an
opinion in the famous coal screen law
case, in which it declares the law to be
constitutional
This law, like the anti-scrip law,
which is still under consideration, in
wolves some questions that are partic-
ularly pertinent to the principles of the
dominant parties in Kansas. Whether
or not a state legislature has the pow
er to invade private contracts for the
purpose of relieving a class of people
that wilfully enter into such contracts,
is regarded as a deep proposition of law
and in considering it court is re-
quired to take into consideration the re-
hottest relations between employee and
employer, between the government and
the oppressed, and between the cOrpO-
ration and the state. The opinion hand
ed down in this case by Judge Milton of
Great Bend, and concurred in by the
other judges, sustains about all the
propositions advanced by Attorney Gen
eraI Boyle.
Referring to the principal contention
of the coal companies, viz: that the
law is an attempt to regulate wages,
the court remarks:
Throughout their whole argument
counsel for the appellant assume that
the object of this act is to regulate the
rate of wages to be paid by mine oper-
ators to their employees. We think this
assumption is unwarranted, and that
al 81 Lar DIS as the dTS uuleIlIS Oh cOuH-
sci rest upon it, such arguments are ir-
relevant to the questions which proper
" arise in the case.
1t is manifestly the intention Of the
legislature to require that where a
screen is used by any mine operator
the same shall not be employed prior
to the weighing Of coal if the use of
the screen would take from the coal
any part thereof which has a money
value. 1t is not an act to prohibit the
screening of coal, but it is an act to
regulate the Weighing of coal before
screening. The agreed statement of
facts shows that the law is violated in
this case"
