HE LOST HIS NOSE.
Cuban General Rodriguez
Tackles the Wrong Spaniard.

Havana, via Key West, Sept. 22.-
Disturbances in public places between
Cubans and Spaniards are becoming
frequent. The Cubans are assuming an
insolent and abusive manner in their
trea tment of the Spaniards, whom they
lose no opportunity of openly referring
to as vanquished. Many of them wear
miniature Cuban flags, the lone star of
which acts upon the Spanish officers
as does a red flag upon bull.
Last night a serious disturbance oc-
CURED in a cafe on San Lazare street,
where several Cubans adorned with
these enblemS entered. The saloon was
filed with Spanish officers, some in uni
form and some in civilian dress. The
Cubans at once began abusing and in
suIting the Spaniards, comparing their
quiet behavior to the cOWardice of a
whipped cur. Their remarks were re-
scented by several of the officers present,
who administered a sound thraShing to
the indiscreet Cubans.
In consequence of these disorders,
Military Governor Arolas has issued a
general order making it obligatory up
on every officer to wear his uniform and
carry arms in public, whether on duty
or not, in order to avoid mistakes as
to identity.
Yesterday two boats rowed across the
bay toward the transport ResOlute. One
was occupied by Cubans from Regla,
among whom was the well known in
surgeon chief, Rodriguez. The other was
filled with Spanish pleasure seekers. The
boat in which the Cubans were drew
alongside the other and it's occupants
began haunting and jeering at the
Spaniards, who answered back. When
the boats were close to the ResOlute,
Rodriguez took up an oar and struck
one of the Spaniards over the head with
it, inf1icting painful wounds. One of the
latters companions jumped into the
Cubans boat, sprang upon Rodriguez
and bit his whole nose off. The fight
became general and several Of the par
Elephants were slightly wounded. When
the men had been separated the boats
rowed away in different directions, but
both finally landed their bruised and
wounded occupants at Regla. No ar
rests were made

LAWYERS COMMENT
On the Disposal of the Connecticut
Fire Insurance Case.

According to the statement of Judge
A. H. Horton, one of the counsel for
the Connecticut Insurance company
the pOstpOnement of the case against
Insurance Commissioner McNau until
the regular term of the federal court
practically dispOses of it.
I'VE have three months to file evil
dence after the answer of McNau is
fled" said he this afternoon, "and this
will run over the regular term of the
court in November. 1t will have to lie
over then until the next regular term
in June, and the license of the company
on which the suit was brought will ex-
pire March 1. The suit was simply to
protect the company as long as it had
license to do business in the state. Next
March Webb McNan will not be insur-
ance commissioner.
TT really means that we have Won
our case" said Judge Horton. IF Nc
Nall should continue as commissioner
this case would end when the license
expired, and a new suit would have to
be brought to secure a. new license"
Mr.. David Overmyer, counsel for Nc
Nall, holds an entirely different opin-
ion. He said:
1.-The case will either be heard or dis
missed at the regular term in NOvem-
Der. The compliments have intro
duced about all the evidence they can
introduce, and there will be nothing to
delay a hearing. Political effect was
the only object in bringing this suit,
and the insurance people feel bad be-
cause they will not have a chance to pa
rade their side before the public before

REPUBLICAN NAMES
Largely Signed to Petitions for So
cialist Ticket-An Adroit Move.

There have been 81 petitions filed
with the secretary of state to get the
Socialist Labor state ticket on the Of
fetal ballot. They contain an aggre-
gate of 800 names, enough to accomp-
fish their purpose. The names were Sc
cured at Fort Scott, Pittsburg, Topeka,
Ottawa, Wichita, Concordia, Galena and
a few small points. Topeka furnished
80 signers.
The Ottawa petition, bearing 1O3
names, was secured by Matt Semple, a
brother of Robert Semple, assistant
state bank commissioner. The latter
examined the petition when it was filed
this morning and said that the signers
were mostly Republicans. Among the
number were E. L. Branson, Republi-
can candidate for county attorney of
Franklin county, and Peter Kaiser, can
didate for probate judge on the same
ticket.
This is a. clever move on the part of
the Republicans, but the POpulists can
scarcely take exceptions to it, as it is
strictly within the law. 1t will be of
considerable interest, too, to find how
many socialist votes there are in the
state

JOINS THE TRUST.
Brown Tobacco Co. of st. Louis, Raked
in by the American.

St Louis. Sept. 22.-J. B. Duke, pres
ident of the American Tobacco compa-
ny, who has been in the city for sew
eral days today contaminated a deal
where by his company has come into
the possession of the Brown Tobacco
company's plant at Eighteenth and
Chouteau avenue. He paid $1,25O, 900
for the property and took possession at
once.
Mr.. Paul Brown, president of the com
pany, bearing his name, has been re-
tanned to act as general manager of
the business in this city for the Ameri-
can Tobacco company.
Ever since President Duke and his at
torney have been in st. Louis rumors
have connected his company with the
purchase of the DrummOnd Tobacco
works. In answer to a question as to
whether he had been negotiating for
the purchase of the Drummond plant
or contemplated buying it, Mr.. Duke,
in an interview, said:
1--WE are not negotiating for the pur-
chase of the Drummond works, but we
are always on the lookout for a bargain.
If we can get what we want at our own
price we will take it. Otherwise we
will make no deal"

THE GOTH MAY VOTE.
The Tickets for Them Will Be Sc Mt

Within the next day or two the tickets
to be used by the Twentieth Kansas reg1-

San Francisco. If we sent the ballots to
Manila by express, they might reach there
and they might not, and II would pc very

The most danger lies in the fact that the
regiment may not get to Manila in time

would be to send the tickets along with
TWO thousand of each of the three tick

CAN TOPEKA GET IT?
It is Between Wichita and Topeka
Which Gets the Odd Fellows
Home

The move that the Commercial club
is most interested in now is the secur-
ing of the Odd Fellows home for Tope-
ka- The fight has narrowed down to
Wichita and Topeka and the CONNER
cial club hope by active work to secure
the home for this city.
The grand lodge of the order of Odd
Fellows will meet to make final dispO-
sition of the case on October IA and the
Commercial club naturally is anxious
to rush the matter. The situation is
this: Wichita offers the Odd Fellows
a site and home which is acceptable for
s17 900.
The site Topeka expects to offer is
more satisfactory to the Odd fellows
but $4,000 is asked for the property
which is the handicap the Commercial
club is labOring under.
The property in view is the home
stead of John Sutherin, consisting of
100 acres lying west of the asylum and
on the south side of the road. A large
roomy house is located on the property
and the place is well improved. It
would make a model home such as the
Odd Fellows desire.
The Commercial club think that they
can induce Mr.. Sutherin to lower his
price perhaps $1,000, and they will ar
range for the rest.

PECULIAR POISONS.
GENERATED IN THE HUMAN BODY.
The Result of Imperfect Digestion
of Food.

Every living thing, plant or animal,
contains within itself the germs of GER
tain decay and death.
In the human body these germs of
disease and death Called by scientists
Ptomaines), are usually the result of
imperfect digestion of food; the result
of indigestion or dyspepsia.
The stomach, from abuse, weakness
does not promptly and thoroughly di-
gest the food. The result is heavy,
sodden mass which ferments Ghe first
process of decay poisoning the blood
making it thin, weak, and lacking in
red corpUscles; poisoning the brain
causing headachSe and pain in the
eyes.
Bad digestion irritates the heart
causing palpitation and finally bringing
on disease of this very important or
gan.
Poor digestion poisons the kidneys,
causing Bright's disease and diabetes.
And this is so because every organ,
every nerve depends uopn the stomach
alone for nourishment and renewal, and
weak digestion shows itself not only in
loss of appetite and flesh, but in weak
nerves and muddy complexion.
The great English scientist, Huxley,
said the best start in life is a sound
stomach. Weak stOmachs fail to di-
gest food properly, because they lack
the proper quantity of digestive acids
Qactic and hydrochloric) and pepto-
genie products; the most sensible rem
edy in all cases of Indigestion, is to take
after each meal one or two of Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets, because they sup
ply in pleasant, harmless form all the
elements that weak stOmachS lack.
The regular use of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure every form of stom-
ach trouble except cancer of the stom-
ach.
They increase flesh insure pure blood
strong nerves, a bright eye and clear
complexion, because all these result on
" from wholesome food we'll digested

pepsia Tablets at so cents full sized

POPULAR MATINEE.
Particularly for Children and Ladies
of the Queen of the Sea-"

1.-The Queen of the Sea- will be put on
at matinee at the Grand Opera house
Saturday afternoon. The prices will
be Is and 25 cents.
The attendance at the two evening
performances served simply to pay in
full the expenses attending the arrange
ment of the production. Whatever is
taken in at the matinee Saturday will
be a benefit to the Floral parade fund.
Topeka people have been asked to do
but little toward aiding the Floral fund
this year, and for this reason they
should gladly see that this production is
patrOnized. There is not a feature in
the performance that is not pleasing
and entertaining to children, and Tope-
ka parents should send their boys and
girls to the matinee Saturday after
noon. 1t will place some such needed
funds in the hands of the Floral COM
mittee.
Mrs. Meredith has contributed her
time and services free in arranging the
production, and the only expense is that
which could not be avoided.
