Win some one develop black seed
less grape? We have white seedless
grapes, but suitable only to the climate
of California, and now we want a good
black grape without seeds. Such a
grape would sell at a fancy price on
the market. The fear of appendicitis
causes many people to take out the
seeds when eating grapes, and this
greatly detracts from the pleasure Of
grape eating. grape Of the charac'
ter described would bring good deal
more than the common grape.-Farm-

Congress. The resolution for the APP
pointment of special committee to fix
his status under the Jaw prohibiting
polygamy, was adopted by majority
so large as to indicate that there is no
r. OF hope for him, even from his
political brethren, though here and
there one raised feeble voice in his
behalf. The composition of the COM
mittee indicates what its findings and
report will be, and what will be the
issue of the final vote.

ALL LINE UP.
Soldiers Parade Will Have a
Citizens Division.
EX-kansanS in Missouri Want
Chance to March.
ORDER is CHANGED.
Will Be Allowed to Follow the
Troops.
The Line of March Is Accord
fngly Lengthened.
ORDER is CHANGED.

The reception committee has decided
to permit plain, ordinary citizens to
have a, part in the parade tomorrow,
and a fifth division has been added to
the line. This action was taken at the
meeting of the committee last evening.
When the committee was first organ
lied it was decided that the parade
should be strictly military and that no
civic organizations should be allowed
to march in it. When this was under
stood no Topeka civic bodies made pre-
parations to go into the parade, al
though some of them would have been
glad to have had a part in it.
But the contingent of ex-Kansans in
Kansas City knew nothing of the order
that the parade should be strictly mill
tary, and they have been making prep
aratiOns to get into the line. The first
intimatiOn they had that they would
not be given a place in the line was re-
ceived yesterday, and as a result they
sent Captain w. s. Tough, one of the
principal movers among the 'exiles" in
Kansas City, up here to see what could
be done about the matter.
Captain Tough appeared before the
committee last night and explained the
situation. He said that the pride of
the ex-Kansans who live in Kansas City
in the achievements of the Twentieth
Kansas was great as it could be
among the present citizens of the state,
and that the enthusiasm was so great
they had formed a marching Organiza-
tiOn five hundred strong to take part
in the parade. Their secretary wrote to
one of the state officers, asking for in
formation concering the parade, and
stating that they wanted a place in it.
The reply they received was not very
definite, but they supposed a place
would be given them and had not known
differently until yesterday. Captain
Tough said it would be a great diSap-
pointment to the "exiles' iw they did
not have a part in the procession.
In view of this statement Major An
derson moved that a citizens division
be added to the parade, to be headed
that all civic organizations that wished
to take part be placed in that division
The motion carried unanimously.
Captain Fuller, chairman of the pa
rade committee, said that this would
add greatly to the length of the line and
that there was no telling where it would
end. In view Of this fact, ne deemed
it best to lengthen the line of march,
and he announced that the parade will
go south on Kansas avenue to Tenth
avenue, then west, and completely en-
circle the state house square, entering
the grounds west of the Santa F'e office
building, as originally contemplated.
This action means that any fraternal
society or other civic body, duly Off
cered. can have a place in the parade
tomorrow by reporting to the proper
officers on Fifth street where the pa
rade will form.

WANTS 1T CLEARED UP.
President Urges Philippine
Commission to Report
Before Election.

Washington, Nov. 1.-The members
of the Philippine commission, Admiral
Dewey, Professors Schurman and Wor-
cester and Col. DENLY will make a pre-
Hminary report to the president before
the end of this week and it is under
stood the report will be Immediately
given to the public. This report will be
prepared at the request of the president
as a result of a conference between the
president and the commission at the
White House today The president per-
sonally summoned the commissioners
and an hour was spent in consultation
during which he explained the points
he desired covered in the preliminary
report. 1t may be weeks, possibly
months before the complete report is
ready. Prof. Schurman who is presi-
dent of the commission said after the
members left the White House that the
report to be made this week would COW
er certain phases of the situation which
the president desired cleared up at this
time. When asked if the report would
touch upon the so-called Sulu treaty
Cthe arrangement made between Gen.
Bates and the Sultan of Sulu) Prof.
Schurman replied in the negative. ''That
was purely a military arrangement"
said he, with which the commission
had nothing to do" Secretary Hay and
Secretary Root were present at the
conference,

NO NEWS FROM TRAINS.
Telegraphic Communication In
terrupted by Storms.

Up to 10:3O o'clock this morning Cen
eral Passenger Agent Black of the
Santa Fe had received no advice con-
cerning the special trains bearing the
Twentieth Kansas soldiers. There is
a blizzard raging in Colorado and
northern New Mexico, and all the San
ia Fe wires are down south of La
Junta, Colo.
The trains did not reach the Santa Fe
road proper at Albuquerque on sched-
ule time, owing to the fact that the
Southern Pacific road consumed 10
hours in taking them into Mojave, in
stead of about Is. Notwithstanding
this, Mr.. Black says that the trains will
be brought into Topeka practically on
time.
Whatever time is necessary to be
made up will be saved at the meal sta
tions. Instead of holding the trains an
hour at these stations, the meals will
be prepared in advance and placed on
the ira on arrival In this way the
time can - easily made up.

AMBU1ANCEs FOR SICK.
They Will Be Taken to Hospital at
Once.

1t is probable that there will be a
number of soldiers in the regiment that
will not be able to walk, but they will
not be deprived of their share in the
glory of the parade. if they are able to
sit up.
The committee last night ordered that
DR.. Huntoon's big band wagon be Sc
cured in which all weak and crippled
sol1iers who can not march shall be
placed, and this wagon will have a
place in the parade with the rest of the
regiment, where the occupants can see
and hear as much as their well COM
rades.
Those who are too sick. to sit up, and
it is said that there are a few such in
the regiment, will be taken directly
from their train to the hospital DR.
Fred Gordon, who will be in charge of
the ambulance corps tomorrow, has ar
ranged to have ambulances at the in
coming trains to receive the sick. Geo.
W. Crane. chairman of the badge com
mittee, which goes out to meet the reg
iments in order to give each soldier his
individual badge, will wire ahead the
number of those who will need to be
taken to the hospital and also the
number of the convalescent who will
ride in the band wagon in the parade.

materially reduced, while the disaster
now appears to have been not so much
the consequence of defects in the plan
of action as to a misfortune whereby
the column was deprived of It's ammu-
milton. Stin it seems incomprehensi-
BILE why the plight of the luckless col
umn was not known at headquarters
as the scene of the surrender was about
three miles northwest of LadySmith
and Lieut.. Col. Carlton must have ex-
pected relief to reach him, or instead
of attempting to occupy defensive
position, he would have retraced his
steps to Ladysmith when he suffered
the loss of his ammunition.
Apart from Gen. Whites statement
that the losses are very numerous there
is nothing to indicate the extent of
them except vague report to the ef-
feet that the soldier who brought the
news to LadySm1th said the British
dead and wounded were lying in heaps
and that hundreds needed doctors.
This, however, is hardly borne out by
the long list of captured officers.
The concluding sentence of General
Whites dispatch relative to the safety
of Ladysmith, was received here with a
certain reserve in view of the fact that
similar official assurances were given
recently at Dundee and Glencoe and
there is intense anxiety for further
news of the reported renewed attack
which is not mentioned in the official
dispatches.
The calamity has served to show the
British who are their friends. The pa
pers comment on the splendid reserve
of patriotism existing in the far-away
colonies and the deep-seated feeling Of
friendship and sympathy of the great
kindred nation across the Atlantic.
The Standard which sums up the
feeling of the nation, says: From the
United States and our colonies alone
we hear the voice of friendly sorrow
and encOurag cement. But that suffices.
All others are welcome to congratu-
late themselves over the misfortunes of
Great Britain.
The war office has made a welcome
concession to the public desire for news.
Hereafter every postoffice will be open

Congregation of 400 Members
Also Prisoners.

Chicago, Nov. DR. John Alexan-
der Dowie was rescued from his Oak
Park church, Marion and Lake streets,
at Pas o'clock this morning by a SER
geant and twenty policemen from the
West Lake street station. He had been
a prisoner in the building since 1850
o'clock last night.
Chief Ripley ordered his men out
when word came at 1 a. m, that the
doctor was kept a prisoner by a mob
that deffed the efforts of the Cicero po-
lice. Fearing they would attack the
place, the city police were rushed to the
suburb in a patrol wagon.
When the city police arrived, DOC
tor DoWie and nearly 400 of his fol-
lowers emerged from the hall, led by
the Zion guards
DR. Dowie's meeting was one of the
most tumultUOus he has held. His
Zion Guard" was pelted with eggs and
stones, windows in the building were
broken and one of his followers was
severely beaten by the crowd. For
hours Chief Vallens and twelve men of
the Cicero police force struggled in vain
to keep order. They drove the crowd
away from the building a short distance
but could not scatter it. Two hundred
men remained close by, declaring they
would not go till DOwie appeared.
Five arrests were made during the
riot.
The trouble started at 7:30 o'clock
when DR. DoWie entered the church.
It continued without intermission all
night. although after midnight the
crowd contented itself with keeping up
a passive siege.
At midnight the police scattered the
crowd, but 200 men gathered close to
the church, which was closely watched
by scouts. This was kept UP for hours
Once the crowd set fire to a load of hay

Body of a Woman Found on the
Floor
OF Her Apartments in Chicago
Tenement.
BULLETIN HER HEART
Her Life and Death Surrounded
by Mystery.
Evidence Found of Her Leading
a Double Life.

Chicago, Nov. Mrs. J. Rush Branch
was found dead last night in her apart
ments on the first floor of TIC Forty-sec-
ond street, with a bullet in her heart.
1t is believed the body had lain in the
fat more than a week. Finger prints
and smeared b1oodstains were found on
the wall beside the body and a revolver
with one chamber empty lying on a bed
in Mrs. Branch's apartments. Five
weeks ago Mrs. Branch moved her
handsome furniture into the building
The woman was alone, but she told
the janitor, Frank Stromsen, her hus-
band was a travelling salesman and was
out of town. She made no acquaint-
ances in the building. Upon several
occasions a man whom the janitor be-
lieved to be her husband, visited her.
Sunday morning, October %, Mrs.
Branch called Stromsen in to fix a gas
jet. While the janitOr was at work a
strange man sat with his back to him
in the front room and neither spoke nor
turned his head. No one saw this man
leave the fiat. Mrs. Branch has never
been seen by any Of the neighbors since
that day.
The daily papers are piled on the
back porch up to and including that
day.
A number of letters were found in the
apartments, some of them indicating
that she had been leading a dual exist
ence. At least half of the missives were
addressed to Mrs. Mable Downs" al
though she is said to have been the re-
cipient of them. In none was the ad-
dress of the writer given. One of the
letters, written in Montreal, October "a
and which was unopened, was signed
your husband"

BLIZZARD IN WEST.
Snow Is Falling in Colorado and
New Mexico.

A blizzard is raging in the mountains
of northern New Mexico and southern
Colorado today, and all the Santa F'e
wires are down south of La Junta- For
this reason no detailed reports of the
storm have been received at the offices
Of the company in this city.
Tuesday snow fell in Colorado gen
orally, and today the temperature is
reported to be considerably below the
freezing point. A high wind accom-
panied the fall of snow there, and is
still blowing today
The Santa F'e officials say that a ter
rife wind storm must be a feature of
the blizzard in the mountains, as all
communication is shut off. Every eff
fort is being made to repair the dam
age, but up to this afternoon it had
not been accomplished.
