The same company that was seen here
last October returned to Topeka last
night for second presentation of Sgd
ney Grundy's '''sex against SEX drama,
Sowing the Wind The piece was not
received in the same generous manner
that marked it's first visit here, possibly
because a popular attraction immed-
lately preceded it, and possibly because
Topeka theatergoerS did not care to see
1t twice within a period of a few months.
The company, feeling the difference be-
tween the first and second reception,
failed to work as hard for a successful
performance, and a result, last
nights presentation was not altogether
as satisfactory as the first.
But Notwithstanding that conditions
were not as favorable to most effective
work on the part OF the actors, the
large audience of four months ago could
not have been more attentive to the
performance than the small audience of
last night. Neither could the applause
have been more appropriately frequent.
The audience entered into the spirit of
the play, audiences that see such
productions as Sowing the Wind" are
went to do, and during the affecting
scenes the feminine portion wept with
remarkable regularity. If one indica-
dion of a successful drama is its power

A GIRLS COMPLEXION
Come From the Inside

Whenever 1 failed to get my coffee
for breakfast, would have a sick head
ache before noon. 1t seemed to me g.
curious thing that a naturally healthy
girl should have sick spells of this kind
unless she had been dosed in the morn
ing with something.
naturally concluded that all was not
right, and inasmuch as I was in a very
nervous condition anyhow, I went to
the doctor for a nerve tonic.
He told me I would have to quit
drinking coffee, and when 1 said could
not possibly do it because L always got
sick if 1 didn't have the coffee, he said,
use Postum Food Coffee" Well, I
tried it twice, and gave it up because it
tasted so fiat.
One day I was up to DR.. Ruggles' In
Urinary and remarked to Mrs. Ruggles
that the DR.. had told me that I must
leave off coffee and wanted me to use
this new tangled stuff called Postum"
but that is was positively unbearab1e
She said, MY dear, you never have
had a good cup of Postum evidently
1 said, mo, L never have. I have only
tried it twice. ''Well," she said, you
go back and look at the package and
you will observe that the directions in
sist upon continued boiling, at least fff-
teen minutes not that length of time for
the pot to set on the stove, but it must
stay there until it begins to boil, and
then boil fifteen minutes. I will guar
antee you will get a fine, delicious tast-
ing, black, rich cup of coffee, and per-
haps better favored than any you ever
tried before. The old fashioned coffee is
actually killing you" she said. You
are terribly nervous, and your complex
ion is a long ways from what it should
be at your age" -
Well. when I got home, I tried MAX
ing some Postum at once, and followed
directions carefully, and / must say it
was Just delicious. 1 have continued to
use it ever since.
I am well and hearty now, and my
complexion has cleared up so that dur
ing the last three months people remark
to me continually, How clear your
skin isl" am naturally of a light COM
plexion and fair. DR.. Ruggles has all
of his patients use Postum instead of
ordinary coffee. 1 have induced papa
to take up Postum, and he likes it very
much One of our neighbors, Mr. G. A.
Barke, was ill in bed with heart and
some kind of stomachcomplaint. He was
a habitual coffee drinker, but when he
got down, DR.. Ruggles took his coffee
away and gave him Postum Food COT
fee. He is almost well now, and says
that he believes the Postum was the
main cause of his recovery A great
many in our town use Postum in place
of ordinary coffee. Miss Mabel Ban

against sex" drama of Sydney Grundy
proved an unusual success. The Topeka
women who saw it last night, and those
who saw it when first produced here,
fully demonstrated that it had such
power. Sobs were plainly audible in
various parts of the house at different
times during the performance.
Sowing the Wind is strong in pathos
and dramatic situations. 1t handles a
delicate subject in wholly unoffenSive
way, and presents a great social prob
lem, through the portrayal of a series
of possible but improbable circum-
stances, in an interesting and what
might be termed powerful manner.
The company now presenting it is
we'll balanced. To Miss Amelia Card
ner as "Rosamend" and Mr.. Howard
Hall as ''Brabazon' fall the most diff
cult work. Miss Gardner does not over
do the emotional scenes of which she
has many, and her work in the third
act with "Brabazon' is to be partic-
ularly admired. Miss Gardner is much
stronger here than Hall, who almost
shakes his entire conception of the part
by his melodramatic ''ranting'' at the
end of the act. AS Watkins Mr.. w.
H. Turner did the best character acting
in the piece Mr.. Thomas David would
be better liked in the part of Ned An
nesley'' if he put more life in his part
and did not appear in many instances as
more of a fashion plate than an actor.

Kelley Motor People Make Light of
Fraud Stories.

Boston, Jan. 21.-T. B. Kinraid, the
sole legatee of the Kelley motor, who
is at present engaged in experiments at
Jamaica Plain for the purpose of discov-
ering if possible the secret of the in
ventor, said today that dispatches from
Philadelphia telling how an examina-
ton of the inventors workshop dis
closed the presence of mysterious tub
ing, from which it was surmised that
compressed air had been the force used
in Keeley's experiments, amounted to
nothing. Mr.. Kinraid said that he was
in Philadelphia last week and while
there visited the Kelley place. sit did
not look any different to me than it has
all the time since first saw it, said he.
81 told the owners of the building at
that time it would be unwise to leave
the mess there, as it created a lot of
theories among those who might visit
the building with desire to make a
sensation out of q small and unimport-
ant matter"
Mr.. Kinraid was asked if he would say
tubing used in connection with the
great steel sphere found last week, thus
forming an agency for the forces that
moved the motor in the exhibition room.
Mr.. Kinraid answered: 81 can not
make any reply to this direct question
in view of my position with the COM
pany However, the members of the
stock company who have been putting
in their money to carry out this work
know all about this force, and if they
thought 1t was a Swindle, as stated in
this story from Philadelphia, they
would no doubt say 500

The girl at once handed him the I'M
opened letter and said:
Il am sorry l can not receive the let
ter, for it is from my brother, but /
have not the money to pay so much
postage"
Mr.. Hill overheard the conversation
between the postman and the girl and
he paid the postage. The girl blushed
and seemed greatly confused when the
letter was again given to her, and as
soon as the postman had gone she told
Mr.. Hill that the letter was merely
trick between herself and her brother.
Certain marks on the wrapper told her
all she wished to know and the paper
inside contained no writing.

This incident gave Sir Rowland Hill
something to think about and he kept
thinking until postal reform became the
object of his life. He was thoroughly
convinced that a postal system that
caused even the boys and girls of the
land to resort to trickery and deception
must indeed be very harmful one.

Chicago, Ill, Dec. II, 1898.
Gentlemen:-It gives me pleasure to
certify to the good effects from Paine's
celery compound for my patients in
general debility and liver complaints
ANDREW L. LUNDGREN, M. D.
Why do the ablest physicians in
America openly prescribe, use and rec
ommend Paine's celery compound?
First, because Paine's celery COM
pound is not a patent medicine 1t is
not the discovery of some quack doctor
of whom his profession never heard; it
is not a connection put up by some man
who first invented a name, and then
adopted a preparation to fit it; and it
is not a secret remedy.
But it is, first, the result of the life
long study of the greatest physician
America has produced, man whose
reputation was world wide, years before
he had ever arrived at this wonderful
formula; a man who had received the
highest degrees from the best colleges,
who was at the time of his great dis
covery professor at Dartmouth and
lecturer in other universities, a scholar
and a member of family which has
made its mark in every department of
public life in America,-Prof. Edward E.
Phelps, M. D., Ii. D.
Why do progressive and intelligent
physicians of every school prescribe

Paine's celery compound In preference
to any other remedy?
Because it has prolonged the lives of
thousands of sufferers; it has made
their sick patients Well
The best test that can be applied to
Paine's celery compound is to use it.
If one is run down. feels without
energy, lifeless, useless, fretful, take
this great remedy and note the change.
In it's peculiar ability to at once in
vigorate the body, to make new blood
and to regulate the nerves, lies the
great value of Paine's celery compound
in all wasting diseases and disorders of
the kidneys, liver and stomach.
A neglected complaint, though slight
at the beginning, may through neglect
cause lifetime of misery. The ring
ing in the ears, the backache or the gen
eral debility, unless the body is braced
up again, may teach one by bitter
perience that disease can creep through
very small holes.
Paine's celery compound stimulates
the kidneys, improves the appetite and
digestion, drives out any scrofulous
tendency in the blood and actively en-
courages the nutrition of the nerves and
organs with the result that the whole
body takes on flesh and color-the sur
est indication of improved health.
1t makes people well!

MRS. LOGAN's GRIP LUNCH.
An Amusing Social Invention of Mrs
John A Logan.

Washington, Jan. 21-Mrs. John A.
Logan has invented the grip luncheon"
which is said to be positively the latest
thing socially A day or two ago, when
she was just recovering from a severe
attack herself, she sent around invita-
lions to luncheon to six of her friends
who, as she knew, were confined to
their beds with the prevailing epidemic.
The time was fixed with the usual for
mality, but the place was made the
home of the invited lady. Promptly at
the specified time Mrs. Logan sent out
six trays which were delivered at the
houses of the afflicted guests, with
note containing the names of the other
parties to the affair and the good
wishes of the hostess for their joint re-
coVery.

EIGHT-HOUR DAY
Agreed Upon for Coal Miners in Four
States.

Pittsburg, Pa, Jan. 21.-The Post this
morning says:
Eight hours for one day shall be the
rule in the coal mines of Pennsylvania
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois during the
next year, beginning April l. 1899. This
was agreed to after midnight by the
Sub-sca1e committee of operators and
miners who are to dispose of the wage
question for the next year. The SEES
sions of the committee were secret and
every member was put under an obliga-
ton not to give anything out for pub
LEGATION.
This conclusion was arrived at after
the members of the committee had re-
coded from their position of demanding
a reduction of 10 cents in the rate of
mining. The arguments on both sides
were strong. The miner members of
the committee urged that the American
Federation of Labor, with which they
are affiliated, are at their back and it
would not do to recede from the conces-
sionS granted by the operators at Chi
cago one year ago"

THE MONEY ELEMENT
Has Revolutionized English Society
Customs.

London, Jan. 21.-Vanity Fair this
week publishes an interesting article on
the change which has taken place in
society of late years, owing to the in
PRODUCTION of what is known as the
money element. 1t says:
THE great people of today do not en-
terrain as formerly. They do not care
to compete with the millionaire brewer
the Jew financier or the American
whose concerts or parties often cost s.
900 pounds or even more. A quarter of a
century ago all the great houses were
regularly thrown open each season Now
it is the exception when big houses en-
terrain.
Another unfortunate phase has made
it's appearance in a certain set, i. E., for
a society aspirant to get a. great lady
to ask the guests to her first party and
thus give her a start. OF couse, a very
handsome douceur is given the lady for
doing So"

JAMES B. WEIR DEAD.
Was Prominently Connected With
Many Industrial Enterprises

New York, Jan. 21.-James B. WEIR
who was prominently connected with
several of the historical Industrial de-
velopments of this country, is dead at
his home. His death was the result of
an attack of grip a short time ago
which developed into pneumonia.
Mr.. Weir was born in 1926 in the
north of Ireland and was of Scotch
Irish descent. When he was eight years
old his father brought him to this coun-
try. He went to school here and start
ed his business in Philadelphia He
moved to New York before he was of
age and went into the nursery business
on his own account in 1S46. His father
was in the linen business. In 1849 he
went to California and was one of the
earliest "forty-niners. He visited sew
eral of the gold mines in order to make
sure that there was really an abundance
of gold and then went into the whole
sale grocery business in California.
He was successful and soon estab-
HShed house in New Ork, under the
name of j. B. Weir, through which the
buying was done. In 1853 his California
establishment was burned by the big
fire of that year. He turned his atten-
ton to specialties Immediately after
this and continued in this business until
1862, when he returned to New York.
He next became interested in the pro-
ductiOn of oil and was one of the pio-
neers in the industry. He was director
and chairman of the Columbia Oil COM
pany, of Oil City, Pa.
This led him into the business of ship
ping and exporting oil to Europe, in
which business he was also pioneer.
He then took up tramway enterprises in
England. He retired from business
about 3 years ago. He still owned, how
ever, large coal property in West Vir-
ginia, which had not been worked be-
cause of it's distance from any railroad
This he opened up and has been in
operation for the last few years under
the name of the Failing Rock Camel
Coal company. He was president of the

hot vapor or medicated vapor baths at
home for cents each, with no possibility
of taking cold or in any way weakening
the system.
A well known physician of Topeka, KAN
Sas, E. L. Eaton, NJ. d., gave up his prac-
fice to sell these bath Cabinets, feeling
that they were all his patients needed to
get well and keep veil, as they cured the
most obstinate diseases often when his
medicine failed, and we understand he has
already sold over 600. Another physician
of Chicago DR.. John c. Wright, followed
DR.. Eaton's example, moved West, and
devotes his entire time to selling these
Cabinets. Many others are doing like
wise.

sHARKYE'S LATEST PLAN.
He Wants to Marry and Settle Down
in Boston.

Boston, Jan. 21.-Tom Sharkey says
that he seriously thinks of marrying
and settling down in Boston, as he likes
Boston better than any other city he
has yet visited. He says he believes
in marriage for a young man.
Tom states he will always be the same
Tom Sharkey to his friends, and that
his head will never be turned. Sharkey
is understood to have a bank account of
$4,000 all won by the sweat of his
brow, or some one else's. He says he
received $500 for defeating Rubin,
ST., 800 for defeating Corbett and $4,000
for his last victory over Mccoy.

AMERICAN LUMBERMEN
Object to Saving Their Logs on the
Canadian Side.

Toronto, Ont, Jan. 21.-The Ontario
government has received an intimation
that the American lumber firms who
are cutting logs in this province this
winter will before the opening of nav
igation, apply to the government for
permission to tow their logs across to
the American side and that, if such per-
mission be refused they will bring an
action against the government, claim
ing that the prohibitory law is a breach
of their vested rights. The Ontario gov
eminent passed a bill some time ago the
purport. of which was that all logs cut
in Ontario must be manufactured into
lumber in Canada before being export
