1t is to Congress that our nation must look
for all power. Every voition of the govern.
ment must originate in this body of repre-
scntatyes. The President simply executes
the will Of Congress. Congress is supposed
to carry out the will of the people Con-
gress is the brain of the nation. The people
are. the blood of the nation. Good blood
makes good brain. Good brain makes sue
cess, contentment and happiness, whether
OF nation or of an individual. A man with
poor blood cannot succeed. His nerves are
weak, his brain logged and his will para
lyzed. Good blood is simply well digested
food. A stomach with the slightest catarrh.

Pe-ru-na quickly procures perfect digestion.
Pe-ru-na cures catarrh whether of the head,

FIRST KANSAS COMPANY
Recruited in Kansas City, Kan, by
Col. Fred Funston.

Kansas City, Kan, April 29.-The first
company of Kansas volunteers was re-
cruited here yesterday by Colonel Fred
Funston, commandant of the First
regiment of Kansas volunteers. A COM
p1ete company, consisting of 81 mem
berS, including officers, was mustered
into service.
The first company of volunteers from
the Sunflower state will be known as
Company B, Kansas volunteers. The
task of recruiting soldiers and putting
them through a rigid physical examina-
ton consumed all the forenoon. The
work was performed rapidly. At II
o'clock all but three members of the
new company had been recruited and
examined. An adjournment was taken
until 1:30 o'clock in the afternoon, when
the members of the company held
meeting at the arnlory, corner of Fifth
street and State avenue, and proceeded
to elect officers.
The following officers were chosen:
Captain, Fred E. Buchan, formerly
of the First regiment, K. N. c.; first
lieutenant, Charles B. Walker; second
lieutenant, Irvan B. ShoWalter; first
sergeant, Clarence Chase; second ser
geant'J r. Whisner; Quartermaster,
Charles Waite; corporal, Eugene Da-
vies: huglers c. 2. BarShfield and John
Burton.
The election of the officers was made
bv a unanimous vote of the company
Charles B. Walker, first lieutenant of
the company, was formerly captain of
Company B. K. N. G. The Organiza ton
of the national guards was dissolved,
and all but two of the original guards
men were accepted by Col. Funston in
organizing the company of volunteers.
The two men who did not become mem

account of being half an inch too short

"BOSTONIANS'' IN TROUBLE
De Wolf Hopper and His Manager
Ben. d. Stevens Agree to Separate.

New York, April 29.-Miss Alice M
Nielsen, the prima donna of the Boston
ianS has broken off diplomatic rela-
lions with her associates and demanded
her passports from the company, and
Mr. De Wolf Hopper and Mr.. Ben
D. Stevens, his manager and associate
in business for thirteen years, have had
a falling out and ended their partner
Ship-tO date from the end of this sea-
son.
Regarding the trouble in the Boston
ianS, Miss Nielsen said: 1T eliminated
on Saturday night. 1t had been decided
to close the performance of Robin
Hood with the Star Spangled Banner
and all the chorus girls had flags on for
the scene. Someone gave me one and
tucked it in my corsage. Mr.. Barna-
bee saw me and at once ordered me to
take it off and called me a fool. Then
he told the stage manager not to allow
any flags on the stage. 1 took mine off
and put it in my pocket, but when Mrs
Jessie Bartlett Davis came on she had a
flag at her side, and when L saw that 1
took mine out, too, and put it back in
my cOrSage. Then we sang the Star
Spangled Banner and Mr.. Barnabee
brought big flag out of the wings and
deliberately planted it in front of me,
waved it, and it struck me in the face.
That was just a little too much and L
resigned
Mr.. Barnabee denied positively and
emphatically that he had insulted Miss
Nielsen. So much for the BoStonians'
row.
AS to the difficulty between Mr.. Hop
per and Mr.. Stevens, the story that was
going up and down the Rialto was that
it all grew out of the fact that Mr..
Stevens, who is also Interested in the
"Bride-Elect,' had not used his inf1u-
ence to retain Miss Nellie Bergen in
that opera for the rest of the season,
and allowed Miss Hilda Clarke to take
her place. The two men, it was said,
had some very warm words over the
matter and finally they grew so hot
that they agreed to separate as soon as
possible

The calm elaboration and firmness

CALLED DOWN
Was Harvard Professor Who Sought
to Denounce Government.

Boston, Mass, April 29.-Prof. Charles
Eliot Norton, of Harvard, had the un-
usual experience this morning of being
called down in the class room by an
undergraduate.
When Prof Norton began his regu-
lar lecture he took the opportunity to
allay somewhat the intense feeling
which is so prevalent among the stu
dents. He became very bitter against
the action of congress in declaring war,
saying that it was the second inglorious
war in our history, and was brought on
by politicians and newspapers. When
the professor had finished and was
about to begin his lecture proper he
was interrupted by G.. L. Richards, of
New York, a special student, formerly
a French engineer connected with the
Panama canal. Mr.. Richards said that
ne spoke from birth and personal ex-
perience, and painted a black picture
of Spnish iniquity, which reused his
classmates to a high state of enthus-
iasm AS he concluded his remarks he
was given a tremendous ovation.
Prof. NortOn's reply was very calm
and dignified, he being content to rest
the case with the statement that he did
not think war to be the mission OF the
United States.

WHEAT is GONE.
Bins in the Northwest are Nearly
Empty.

Minneapolis. Mimi, April 29.-The
Journal today says:
Not for years has the northwest been
as short of wheat as now. Country
stacks have reached a very low point
there being probably less than two mil
lion bushels held at this time by coun-
try houses, only a very small portion of
which is contract wheat. This ex-
plains why the Minneapolis wheat mar
ket has advanced over 20 cents in one
week. The wheat to fill contracts is
not in sight.
Out of the small country supply must
go the wheat for country milling, with
no new wheat to come for grinding un-
til September. A supply for about ID
weeks must be found. Minneapolis
mills are grinding over million
week and Duluth mills are adding to
the consumption. Minneapolis and Du-
luth together only have thirteen million
bushels of all grades in public houses,
as against over twenty million bushels
last year.
