COMMITTING SUICIDE.

Senator Blcon, of Georgia, has intro ducsd resolutions in the United States senate similar in their provisions to those introduced in the house bv Williams, Of Mississippi. His resolutions differ from these Of the Mississippi congressman in tha, thev provide specially for the reeog- milton of Aguinaldo's govemmen, aS the proper authority to Speik for the Filipinos.
 The absolute abSuriity of this propOSi- tion Is apparent. The telegraphie dis patches of the same dl'e of the introdue- tion Of this resolution convey the informa- ton that Aguinalio'S fleeing "force" had been reduced to two women and two Sol1- ietS. lt reillv seems strange that men posing IS leaders ot great plrtv and pre- tenting to Sta,eSmanShip should make themselves so ridiculous. lf this IS the kind of polite | capital th- minority in congress has elected ,o manufacture for itself it will be accepted as conclusive evil dence that the paiiv Is decaying. lt could no, accept a surer method Of eomittinS suicide.

NEW LAWS NEEDED
For Better Care of the State House,
Despite Popalist Jokes.

AS soon as the house was ready for
business yesterday afternoon. Brooke of
Shawnee introduced the following res
olution:
Resolved, That a committee of three
members of this house be appointed by
the speaker as a special committee to
confer with the executive council and
ascertain what steps are necessary for
the care and preservation of the capitol
building and for the proper sanitation
of the same.
This is the first step towards an ap-
preparation for putting the state house
into better shape. Mr.. Brooke said that
the state house had been kept as well
as possible under the existing laws, but
new laws are needed. The Populist
council, he said, had done the best it
could under the circumstances.
Seaton of Atchison said that he was a
member of the board OF public works
under the Morrill, administration, and in
that capacity had found out many
things that were lacking about the state
house. Three hundred tons of debris
had been removed from the basement,
he said, during the Morrill, administra-

FIRST SPANISH PENSION.
Will Be Given a Young Man at Christ
Hospital Hurt on a Furlough.

Occupying a cot at Christ hospital is
young man with bright face and a
happy expression who will soon ask con-
gress to grant him pension. The name
of the young man is John Blair and he
was a sergeant in the TWenty-frst Kan
Sas volunteers.
Sergeant Blair was wounded and will be
a cripple for life, but it was not while
facing Spanish bullets, for the Kansas SOL
diers were not allowed to enjoy that dis
tinction. But while he was at home on
furlough in October he went out to hunt
rabbits and pulled a shotgun out of wa
gon muzzle first. The charge went through
his left leg and carried away a piece of
the bone.
Dr.: ]. G. McClintock of Topeka went to
Stafford to see the young soldier. 81 can
cut off your leg and you will get well in
a couple of MONTHS said the physician,
''or I can save it for you # you will give
me more time, but you will be cripple.
1t will be shorter than the other. Which
7 guess / can wait, doctor; don't cut it
off, said Sergeant Blair.
So Blair was brought to the hospital,
where the injured leg was encased in a
bed since that time, but he is getting well.
A yawning hole in the plaster cast in two
places shows where the shot tore its way
through, but Sergeant Blair will ret well.
His papers have been prepared and he will
ask congress to pass bill giving him a
pension.

General Woods Mission to Washing.
ton is Successful

Santiago de Cuba, Jan. 17.-Mayor
Bacardi has received a cable dispatch
from Dr. Castillo. the representative of
the business men of this city, who ac-
companied General Wood to Washing
ton, announcing that complete autono-
my will be granted this province. The
day, therefore, is practically being OBJ
served as a holiday. The city is decor
ated with flags and a mass meeting has
been held at which General Wood was
warmly praised. Bands of music have
paraded the streets, cheering crowds
were to be seen on all sides and the
clubs have held meetings for the pur-
pose of arranging an ovation to General
Wood and DR.. Castillo on their return.
Subscriptions are pouring in, so there
will be no lack of money to make the
affair a success.

THE KYLE MEMORIAL.
a Beautiful Building Due to Topeka
Philauthropist

The work on the Kyle Memorial build
ang at Christ hospital is almost completed.
The structure is a handsome one of three
stories, though the upper story is called
an attic 1t will be utilized however, with
four private rooms and a laboratory and
large linen closets.
The building is of red pressed brick and
stands directly in front of the old build
ing with which it is connected with closed
passages corridors. The floors are
reached by elevator, and the operating
room, which is on the second floor, is pro-
nounced by surgeons one of the best in
the west.
The rooms are large and well lighted
and on each floor is a bath room. The
floors are being deadened SO that there will
be the least possible noise from the move
ment of people about the building.
The new building is 40 by so feet in d.
mansions. 1t contains 20 large rooms. 1t
will be used exclusively for private pa
tients and the old building, which is much
larger, will be given over to the charity
patients.
This much needed Improvement at
Christ hospital was made possible by the
bequest of J. c. Kyle, the wealthy bach
elor merchant of Topeka, who was cared
for at the hospital during his last illness.
His bequest amounted to nearly $4,000
and every cent of the money will be put
into the building, which will bear the name
of its founder.
The new building will probably be ready
for patients in three or four weeks.

ton, but the sanitation down there is
still very bad.
1.-The trouble is" said Captain Seaton,
that the state house is still governed
by laws made 20 years ago when there
was not near as much of it as there is
now
Fairchild of Kingman moved that the
resolution be referred to the committee
on buildings and grounds, but this was
voted down as a Populist measure, and
the original motion of Brooke to pass
the resolution at once was carried.
AS a ''take-off' on this resolution,
Fairchild then offered the following:
Resolved, That a committee of three
be appointed to ascertain what laws we
should introduce and pass at this ses-
sion.''
Brooke moved to refer the resolution
to the special session, but Speaker Os-
born ruled that it should go over under
the rules.

ONE CEREMONY
Must Satisfy Patti When She Weds
Young Cederstrom.

Talk of the approaching marriage of
Nine. Patti to Rolf Won Cederstrom still
continues to disturb artistic circles. 1t
has been settled that the now time
worn prima donna will be united to
the young Swedish musician in the Ro-
man Catholic church in Brecon, South
Wales on January 25.
AS the young groom is a Protestant,
he wishes that there should be another
ceremony according to his own creed
afterward at Craig-y-Nos Castle. Patti
was anxious to crafty his wishes, and
was making arrangements to that effect
when the Roman bishop of Monmouth
interviewed and absolutely forbade the
second ceremony. He even went so far
as to make his views on the matter pub
lie, and wrote to several papers stating
that there would be but one ceremony,
and that it was impossible for Cath
Ollie to go through any other form than
that of his or her own church--London

A SEASIDE EXPERIENCE.
Little Quiet Joke on the Family.

While we were at the seaside last
summer, 1 sprung little experiment on
my family. I noticed that husband
and the children were all lacking in en-
ergy and go, and something seemed
wrong with them.
We had been using coffee every morn
ing, and it gradually dawned upon me
that perhaps this was the cause
without saying anything, bought a
package of the Postum Food Coffee and
having been warned to look out and see
that 1t was properly made, I gave my
own special attention to it. For about
a week we used it and not one of the
family knew but what they were drink
Eng the best coffee. When I finally told
them that it was Postum, my husband
laughed and said, Let US continue on
the Postum. I have been feeling very
much better for the past week and
didn't exactly know why" The differ
ence in the whole family is very marked
and you can imagine 1 can recommend
Postum with good grace and much
pleasure. Mrs. Alice E. Scarlet, Yolo,
