MUFFLED AND YELLED.
John Sherman Is Borne Ashore on
Litter.

Newport News, Va, March 29.-The
cruiser Chicago, which left Hampton
Roads March IS under orders to over
take the American liner Paris and
transfer from that state ex-Secretary of
State John Sherman, who had been
taken seriously ill. arrived at Old Point
yesterday afternoon with the distin-
guished invalid on board.
Mr.. Sherman was one of a party of
tourists who were visiting points of
historical interest, having chartered the
Paris for the purpose. The Chicago.
after taking Mr.. Sherman on board,
sailed from Santiago last Friday morn
ing, proceeding direct to this port. The
party that returned with the ex-Secre-
tary on the Chicago was his nephew,
Frank Wiborg of Cincinnati, DR.. McGin
of Duluth, the physician who has been
in constant attendance upon the sick
man, and Mrs. Danitzer, the nurse,
who never leaves the patient. The ex-
secretary'S daughter, Mrs. McCallum,
watched the cruisers approach from
the veranda of the Chamberlain hotel,
preparations for the reception of the in
valid at that resort having been made
under personal supervision. Mr.. WibOrg
came ashore when the cruiser dropped
anchor, bringing assuring news to the
anxious watchers. and after brief
chat with Mrs. McCallum returned to
the Chicago with her. Later Mr..
Sherman, closely muffled and his fea-
lures entirely concealed beneath a
heavy black VEIL was placed in a steam
launch and removed to the pier Two
officers and four men from the ship ac
companied Mr.. Sherman and his at
PENDANTS. He was borne on a litter to
the hotel on the broad shoulders of
four marines. A gust of wind lifting the
veil disclosed the face of the invalid.
1t was wan, pinched and of a deathly
paIlor- a crowd of several hundred per-
soEs witnessed the removal of the sick
man to the hotel.
a a nIAcRd
litter and taken on board the Washing
ton boat. That Mr.. Sherman is a very
sick man no one who got a glimpse of
the invaIid's pallid features can doubt
He has lost flesh until little remains of
the active and vigorous man but a
frame, and he is obviously far advanced
an feeblenesS and general infirnity.
While being prepared for the stretcher
Mr.. Sherman gave the sailors who were
to carry him minute orders as to how
they should handle the conveyance.

TAKE sTHE STRIP"
Greater Topeka Will Include TIL is
Prosperous Section.

The question of making what Is
known as 1.-The Strip" a part of the
city of Topeka is now being agitated.
This is an irregular piece of ground be-
tween Western avenue and Buchanan
street and north of Third street which
is well built up but for some reason it
was never included IN the city of To-
peka.
Major T. ]. Anderson and T. F.
Doran are behind the movement to take
this section into the city at an early
date and there is likelihood that their
efforts will be successful. There is no
good reason why it should not be part
of Topeka. The ground is covered with
a good class of residences and the peo-
pie belong to the best class of citizens.
They are all in business in Topeka.
The only objection that has been
urged in the neighbOrhOOd is that of in
crease in taxes. Major Anderson has
investigated this point and has found
that the taxes will only be $1.05 per ST.
600 of valuation more than they are
now. If the children of the people who
live in this section are sent to the high
school it will cost their parents 81 per
month for each pupil and the small in
crease in taxes is more than overbal-
ditiOn to the high school privileges the
city will be under obligations to light
the streets and the cost of that will be
much more than than the increase in
taxes.
The people living in 1.-THE Strip ought
to be unit for annexation for they are
interested in seeing Topeka take her
proper rank among the cities of the
country.

WILL PAVE THE ALLEYS.
West Side Residents Pushing the
Paving Movement

The people on the west side will not
be satisfied with the paving of streets.
They have caught the Improvement
fever and petitions are now being cir
cuiated to pave two alleys and the
pro ability is that both will be sue
cessful.
One provides for the paving of the
alley between Lincoln and Lane streets
and Huntoon and Thirteenth.
The other is for the alley between
Western avenue and Fillmore street and
Twelfth and HuntOOn.
Under the new paving law it is only
necessary to secure the signatures of
the owners of half the property liable
for the cost of the pavement. This will
make it somewhat less difficult to Sc
cure paving.
On the HuntOOn street extension there
Is only one block east of Lane street
which is not ready for paving, and that
is the block between Clay and Buchan-
an in which Mr.. E. w. Benedict lives.
Mr.. Benedict is the original protector of
the pavement, but up to this time he
has not been successful in inducing his
nearest neighbors to join in the move
ment. 1t is believed, however, that
this block will be paved with the rest
this season. There are some ten or fif-
teen streets that should be paved all
the way from ten to twenty blocks. The
past six months siege with mud has
done much to convert thousands of citi-
zens to paving, particularly when the
roadway needs to be but thirty feet

CHARGED WITH BIGAMY.
S. G. Younkin Must Stand Trial on
the Charge

S. c. Younkin was turned over to the
state this morning by Chief Strauss on
a warrant charging him with bigamy
and sworn to by Miss Virgie Davis,
Mrs. Younkin No. 2
Younkin was transferred from his cell
in the city Jail to one in the county jail.
The warrant was sworn out in the city
court and the preliminary hearing will
be held there before Judge McCabe.
County Attorney Jetmore decided that
although Younkin had not had a genu-
inc marriage ceremony performed that
his living with Mrs. Younkin No. as
man and wife and she believing that
she was married to him, would be held
as a marriage. The supreme court has
decided that if one party to such a
marriage believes that it is lawful that
it is and that the fact that license
was not procured is simply breach of
the law but does not make the marriage
void.
The punishment for bigaIny is inn
prisonment in the penitentiary for
term not to exceed five years, a term
in the county Jail not less than six
months, a fine not less than $500 or
more than 81 900, or fine and county jail
sentence both. The police have been
looking for the"Reverend George Ryan
but have failed to find him.

Leland was then shown a letter which
the Republican national committee had
sent to Grinstead after the 1896 election,
thanking him for the gallant services
rendered during the campaign. The let
ter was signed by Mark Hanna, Charles
Dick, Cy Leland and other members of
the executive committee. Leland said
that it was circular letter sent out by
the committee to all Republican editors
in the west.
Mr.. Leland said he had contributed
$500 to the state campaign, but that not
a cent was expended in those counties
by the state committee.

PHILIPPINE POLICY.
Is to Issue an Amnesty Proclamation
as Soon as AguInaldo Is Whipped.

New York, March ga dispatch to
the Herald from Washington says:
AS soon as General Otis achieves a
decisive victory over Aguinaldo the
Philippine commission will issue a proc
lamation promising amnesty to all ma
tives who lay down their arms and self
rule to those who recognize the sover-
eighty Of the United States.
This is the programme which the
state department understands has been
adopted by the commission. AS General
Otis and Admiral Dewey are members
of the commission, it is presumed here
that they are responsible for the delay
in issuing the prOclamat ton, believing
its effect will be greater if published af-
ter the insurgents have been subdued.
So long as Aguinaldo maintains his
army organization, it will be difficult
to reach the natives and convince them,
but with AguinaldO a prisoner or a fuS-
itive and the army disbanded, it is
thought that the proclamation will re-
ceive attention from the natives and
cause them to take advantage of its
provisions. The proclamation will be
similar to those previously issued by
General Otis, except that it will con-
tain a general amnesty declaration and
will reassert the friendly intentions of
this government.

REGENTS MEET TODAY.
Republicans Alarmed at Proceedings
at State Agricultural College.

The regents of the state agricultural
college have convened this afternoon in
special session at the college in Man
haitian, for the purpose, it is believed
by Republicans, of re-eIecting Thomas
Z. VIII and other Populist teachers for
another term in the institution. That
is something which the Republicans de-
sire to prevent and Governor Stanley is
very indignant concerning the matter.
The governor has will prepare
communication to the regents in which
he will criticise them, if this summary
action be taken in a special session of
the board convened but two weeks in
advance of the regular quarterly meet
ing. The governor told some friends
today that the Populist majority of the
board is acting in an unwarranted man

Algood gang of thieves and murderers

Marshal Trigg left for lola today with
a warrant charging Algood with cOun-
