SHE FEARED HYDRoPHoB1A.
Young Woman Shoots Herselfh at
Her Home North of Frontenac.

Pittsburg, Feb. S.-News has reached
this city that Miss Matte Stone, who
lives with her mother at the home of
D. J. Acklin about four miles north and
east of Frontenac had attempted to
take her own life yesterday morning
by shooting herself in the mouth.
The unfortunate girl was lying in bed
when she attempted to take her own
life
Messengers were dispatched to this
city for a physician and DR.. Sloan re-
sponded. He found that the bullet had
been fired through the roof of the
the right eye. between the eye and the
bridge of the nose. There is little
chance for the girls recovery; although
she was alive when last heard from by
her friends in this city
The weapon that the girl used was a
revolver belonging to her brother
About two weeks ago a mad dog
passed through that neighborhood and
bit several dogs and among others a
dog which was a great pet of hers In
examining the dog to see if it was bad
~ hurt, she feared that some of the sal
iva from the mouth of her pet came in
contact with her hand. Since then she
has been uneasy. She visited the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Johnson in this city
Thursday and had Mrs. johnson exam
inc her mouth and the latter noticed
two large red spots on the roof of the
about the mad dog passing through the
neighborhood of her house and biting
their dog.
There is no doubt that this fear
preyed upon her mind and urged her to
seek self-Slaughter.

MORE PISTOLS NEEDED.
A Plan to Increase the Output of
Small Arms.

Washington, Feb. S.-Provisions for
increasing the supply of small arms to
1000 stands a day undoubtedly will be
made in the army appropriation bill
The matter was considered today by
the military committee of the house
which is framing the bill and Major
Shaler of the ordnance department, eX-
planned the proposed increase of facili-
ties. At present the armOry at Spring
field even on double appropriation and
double time, cannot supply small arms
as fast as the army requires.
The war department therefore recon-
mends an appropriation of $3.50, 900 for
the equipment of a small arms plant at
the Rock Island armory. The buildings
and power are already there and with
the machinery and fixtures, the govern
ment output of small arms can be
brought up to 1900 stands a day and
the demands of the service met. AL
though final action was not taken there
is little doubt the plan will be approved.
Surgeon General Sternberg and Gen.
Greedy also were heard today on their
respective branches.

ulation, and we have Mr.. Brooks word
that Dave Mulvane exacted no prom
ises. But no matter what was said at
this meeting, Dave Mulvane emerged
from it with a candidate for mayor and
from that minute Frank Brooks was in
the field.
1t was before anything had been said
about the water works question that
Frank Brooks had his interview with
Mr.. Holman. Soon after that he awoke
to a realization of the fact that the peo-
pie of Topeka wanted to be sure of their
mayors position in the water works
question.
Then followed a brief interview in
which Mr.. Brooks declared that he was
in favor of city ownership of the water
works question. This was only a few
days after the talk with Mr.. Holman
Drew Stands FIat-FOOted.
The people know where Mr.. Drew
stands on the water works question.
They will not be making an experiment
when they elect him mayor. They also
know that he is watchful of the in
terests of the city and that he is ex-
perienced and can be trusted. That is
the kind of a man the people want to
see elected mayor of Topeka.

FOUR MEN ICE BOUND.
Efforts to Relieve Them Have So Far
Failed.

Chicago, Feb. S.-Four men icebound
several miles out in Lake Michigan
today saw the failure of a strenuous
effort to send them relief by bObsleds,
pulled by hand across fields of ice, with
the temperature IL below zero. Assist
ant City Engineer Paul Brown headed
the relief expedition, which took sup
plies to Capt. Kelly and three assist
ants at city water supply intake known
as the Sixty-eighth street crib. Brown
and his two companions, Capt William
Smith of the Durham Tug line and
Capt. Daniel Donavan, chief city diver.
boarded an Illinois Central express
train with about 500 pounds of provis-
ions. They left the train at Sixty
eighth street, loaded their supplies
a bobsled and started across the ice
fields for the crib. The strong wester-
ly winds made the trip exceedingly dan
gerous, both from the foes of ice and
the risk of freezing to death. Brown
and his associates each took turns at
the rope while the others pushed the
professionalism sled, and after an ex-
citing experience, owing to gaps and
floating ice, the daring mission was
temporarily abandoned.

The position of the United States in
the Philippines is anomalous. The is
lands can hardly be said to belong to
us or to anybody else. If Aguinaldo's
followers have any just claims they
cannot be said to extend to the entire
archipelago. 1t is the duty of somebody
to protect the people from anarchy and
we happen to be on the ground, but
not until Spain ratifies the treaty will
we have so much as a quit claim deed.
In the meantime we cannot declare war
for that would be a recognition of the
Filipino government which has hither-
to been denied it.

Northern Pacific and cost over $500, 600
With the contents the total loss will be
$4O0. 900. The company carried it's own in

The amounts given for the Insurance

The amounts given for the Insurance
department and secretary of states de-
partment are based on results from new
laws enacted at special session of the
legislature.
Thus it will be seen that there would
still remain in the treasury a balance of
$3.50, 617
In all proba bility the total assessed
valuation of the property in the state
may increase, from to 10 million dol
lars, in which case the amount raised
by taxation will be greater than is
estimated in the above
