A Topeka man says that one reason
why the trade excursion yesterday was
not so large as the one a year ago was
because last year the Collins trial was in
progress and that attracted many women
TO Topeka.
J. S. sproat of the Star grocery says the
people are buying their candies, fruits
and nuts in larger quantities and earlier
this year than ever. He attributes the
cause to his large assortment and the
close price he is making.

prominent officers of the old school
whose military training was gained on
the field of battle in the war of the re-
bellion.
General Anderson is a nephew of
General Robert Anderson of Fort Sum-

lieved by General Wood as governor OF
Cuba General Brooke was formerly
commandant of the Department of the
Lakes. and while it is not known for a

General Merritt in the Philippines and
commanded a division of two brigades
and had charge of the land forces at

gade commanders were General Francis
VintOn Greene and General Arthur
Mac Arthur When a sufficient number
of troops arrived in the Philippines to
form two divisions he was given COM
mand of the first division and General
Macarthur took charge of the second.
General Anderson remained in com
mand of the first division until after
the Aguinaldo insurrection began and
participated in the battles until March

says:
Various conferences have been held
in this city within the last week, both
at the Holland house and at the home
of Andrew Carnegie relative to the or
ganizatiOn and operation of the Carne-

man of the Carnegie Steel company
Mr.. Frick, A. r. Peacock, first vice
president Of the Carnegie company, and
H. w. Oliver have all been here within

People Insist Upon His Guilt, Re-
gardless of the Evidence-on-
slaught On the Jews Is Predicted.

Paris, Feb. The most ardent sup
porters Of the theory that Dreyfus was
unjustly condemned now admit that
there is no longer the least hope that
justice will be done. A prominen. MEM
Der of the University of Paris, VINO,
from the first, has been a militant
champion Of revision of the trial,
says:
For ninety-nine out of a hundred
Frenchmen the guilt or innocence of
Dreyfus is a matter of sentiment. All
the reasoning in the world would not
induce them to change their attitude
There are millions of Frenchmen who
will insist upon Dreyfus' guilt, in spite
of any proof to the contrary. A fea-
ture of the situation is that the atti-
tude of this majority is dictated by mo-
tives which they believe to be deserV
ing of the highest respect. l admit that
some of the Dreyfusards are much to
blame for this. The best cause may
be ruined by disreputable adherents,
and there are men on the Dreyfus side
of whom every patriotic Frenchman IS
the natural enemy. While the majority
of us have been merely demanding that
justice should be DONE a pestilent mi
nority has made this demand an ex-
cuse for virulent onslaughts on institu-
tions we hold in great esteem.
In conclusion, the member of the uni
versity predicted that the result will
be an Onslaught of unparalleled vio-
lence on the Jews, as the masses are
convinced that they are at the bottom
of the whole trouble"
