SOLID WITH GOVERNOR.
Insurance Companies Secure Remova
of Insurance Commissioner in
South Dakota

Sioux Falls, s. D., Feb. 12.-Because
of alleged Matchmaking charges against
the Traders Insurance company of Chi
cagO, Governor Lee today removed In
surance Commissioner Kipp from Of
flee and will prosecute him. 1t is charg-
ed that insurance companies doing bus
mess in this state have been held up
for excessive examination fees. Kipp
has refused to be removed and a legal
fight will follow. Advices are that the
governor may ask the militia to seize
the books of the commissioner, which
it seems impossible to obtain in any
other manner

INSPECTING CARS.
Small Defects Liable to Cause
Trouble

A man inspecting freight cars crawIed
under each car and scrambled about
looking at or feeling of each nut. bolt
brake-beam and rod, journal, boxing,
draW-bar, etc, etc, until every part of
the car had been gone over.
If nuts were missing, bolts about to
drop out, brake-rOds dragging the
ground, brake-beams cracked, or anv
defect appeared in the running or i'm
portant part, the car was chalJxed and
the car number reported at the shops
Experience has taught the expensive
folly of letting little defects remain
uncorrected on engines or cars until
IN time of need the cracked brake beam
refuses to hold, or the nutless bolt drops
suit.
If inanimate cars and engines are
worth such care, why not the beautiful
machinery of the human body? If YOU
md daily aches or aiIs, be quite sure
1t is natures cry for relief from some
insult you have been guilty of. Per-
maps you put coffee into your stomach
day by day.
Never thought that was any harm?
Perhaps 1t isn't to some thoroughly
healthy men, but it hits a great num-
Der hard, and some very hard, before
they know where the bangs come from
Ten to thirty days without coffee will
tell you whether you are susceptible
to its alkaloids or not. The trial startles
people who know it never hurts me-
IF one keeps on with the use of q
thing that his mother nature objects
to, there is sure to be a smash-up some
day, and business, property, health
comfort and happiness may be lost be-
fore the wreck is cleared up. It is easy
to change to Postum Food Coffee, a
powerful liquid food, which when thor
oughly boiled looks like Mocha, and has
a delicious Java-like flavor, while the

phosphates and other necessaries of the
brain and complex nervous system.

CLASH OVER ASYLUM COAL.
Rock Island Demands Prepayment of
Switching Charges at It's
Own Rates.

Unless the board of cahrities agree to
come to the terms of the railroad COM
pany, or the attorney general by man
damus proceedings compels the railroad
company to haul the freight, there will
be coal famine at the Topeka insane
asylum.
This possibility is the result of the
trouble between the state board of
charities and the Rock Island Railway
company over the rates to be charged
for switching coal and other supplies
from the city to the asylum.
Yesterday a large consignment of
coal was brought into Topeka from the
Leavenworth mines over the Union Pa
cific, for the asylum, and shortly after
the coal arrived the Rock Island freight
department heard from the asylum
authorities.
They were. asked if the Rock Island
would be willing to switch the coal to
the asylum. Yes, the Rock Island was
very willing to do the switching but
considering the trouble over accounts
IN the past it would be absolutely nee
essary that the switching charges
should be paid before the switching was
done.
AT what rate was asked from the
asylum when this much had been COM
municated to the. authorities.
AT the rate which this road put in
some months ago, namely go cents per
ton, was the reply from the Rock Is
land freight department.
Mr. M A Low, general attorney of
the road, was appealed to, but without
33S1CCSSS. MI Low pouCely SCaIeo that II
the coal was switched to the asylum it
would be after the rate of 60 cents per
ton had been paid by the asylum auth
critics.
This is the situation of the matter to-
day. The coal is standing in the Rock
Island yards in North Topeka. In the
meanwhile, the supply of coal at the
asylum is diminishing.
The asylum authorities have consult
ed Attorney General Boyle, and is it
probably that mandamus proceedings
viii be commenced to force the Rock
Island road to handle freight. This will
bring up an entirely new question in
the matter of railroad government by
the state.

New York, Feb. 12.-Wan street was
treated to a surprise today when it was
announced that Howard Gould had filed
an application for membership in the

Howard Gould the third member of his

SELL THEIR WIVES.
Chinese Young Men Marry English
Girls and Then Sell Them.


vancouver,B. C., Feb 1.-THE steam
er Empress of China brings mail ad-
vices of disgraceful scandals in Shang-
hal. British cOnSuls there have discOV-
cred that Chinese youths attached to
the legation had been marrying English
girls. In fact, it had been a fad among
girls to teach these Celestials English
and then marry them.
The Chinese youths, with no sanctity
for the marriage law, treated their Eng
lish wives as playthings for the hour,
and as soon as they got them to China
sold them. If the girls rebelled their
Chinese husbands left them with moth
ing, not even clothes on their backs.
They locked them in empty houses to
scream until some one came to help
them.
In no single instance did these girls
write their relatives in England telling
of their shame. Their parents had for
bid their alliance with Cinnamon and
they suffered degradation in silence. The
press has taken the matter UP and will
request the British government to take
some steps to prevent undesirable in
ternatiOnal marriages.

am for or against it.
Yes, I am in favor of an extra ses-

Alaska mining company is organizing

SHE IS HYPNOTIZED.
Negro Woman in the Wichita
Jail Sleeps Constantly.

Wichita, Feb. 1.-THE police have
sort of a freak locked up in the female
ward in the city Jail that is considerable
of a curiosity. About o'clock Wednes-
day morning the officers arrested
young colored woman and lodged her
in the city Jail. When arrested the wo-
man acted very queerly and almost had
to be carried to the station.
She has now been in the Jail two
whole days and has been asleep all of
the time. Even when Turnkey Davis
goes down with the meals for the pris-
oners she simply sleeps on and cannot
be Weakened.

to suggest amendments to Governor
Leedy's proposed railroad law.
Senator Forney says: Il would be in
favor of an amendment making the
members of the state board of
railroad commissioners elective by the
people. This would be in direct line
with Populistic principles and I believe
would prove advantageous to the state
government by relieving the executive
council of the political pressure brought
to bear in favor Of candidates for plac-

]. L.-What is meant by "Har-
mOny?'
Answer-Harmony is the science
which treats of chords (several musical
tones heard simultaneously and the
manner in which they should follow
one another to produce the best musical
effects.
2.-Is Harmony a study intend
ed only for those who wish to learn
how to compose music?
Answer-By no means. AS well say
that grammar is a study intended only
for those who expect to become au-
thors, editors or public speakers. Har-
mony is the grammar of music and
should be studied by every student of
music, and it should be taken up very
early, as soon, in fact as the rudiments
have been mastered. The ability to
readily analyze chord denominations
makes one a ready reader at sight. AS
l said in a recent answer to question
with reference to the proper use of the
right hand pedal of the piano-the sus-
tanning pedal-it is impossible to learn
how to correctly use the pedal without
knowledge of harmony, and the
quicker piano students recognize this
fact and act upon it, the better it will
be for themselves and their listeners,
since no fault perpetrated in the name
of music is more abominable than the
misuse of the pedal. To the organst
a knowledge of harmony is, if possible,
still more necessary. The different
parts of the service have to be fire.
quently Joined together by short i'm
prOVisations, songs out with piano ac-
compartment have to be adapted to the
organ, etc, all Of which make a know
ledge of harmony imperative. Indeed,
no person. whether instrumentalist or
vocalist, can become an acceptable
musician without possessing some
knowledge of Harmony and Musical
Form.

j. S. c. L.-Why do music teach
ers have their pupils write their
counterpoint in open score, using
the different clefs instead of
writing in open score, using the
commonly employed treble and bass
Clefs?
Answer-Counterpoin demands a
melodic and free and Independent
movement of each Of the parts, and
hence it is necessary to write in open
score, that is, to give to each part
soprano, alto, tenor and bass, separ-
ate staff, sin in this way the move
ment of each part can be indicated
and recognized without confusion. The
best method of writing counterpoint is
to use the treble or G clef for the So
pranO, the alto clef (middle on the
| third line) for the alto; the tenor clef
| (middle on the fourth line) for tenor;
and the usual bass clef for the bass
Although the clefs. alto and tenor
clefs, are no longer in common use they
are still used in counterpoint because
the usual range of the alto and tenor
parts may be written with their re-
| spective clefs on the staff of five lines
and four spaces without using as many
| added lines above and below as would
be necessary with the other clefs. This
| is the real reason why the different c
clefs We're originated i'm the first place.
| Previous TO this century the parts in
vocal music were always printed in
their respective clefs. Prout i'm his
| treatise on Counterpart, says: while
the author has endeavored to afford all
possible assistance to the learner, he
| has not the slightest liberation for the
! Incidence which will not take the
