It's bad enough to have the little
German band break loose.
And pile the misery on you
Without the least excuse,
But what Is infinitely worse
Than all the tunes they play
Is to have them come round with the hat,
Suggesting that you pay.

MORE CHARGES.
Reported That Another InEesti-
cation of Surgeon Rafter
Is In Progress.

Sensational charges that John "A.
Rafter, surgeon of the Twentieth Kan
responsible for the death of Mrs. Cap
tain Collins on board the transport
Tartar coming from Manila, have been
filed with General Shafter at San Fran
cisco and are being Investigated by
him.
Movements in the investigation and
inquiries sent here have permitted the
story to leak out in Topeka
An effort to communicate with Sur
geOn Rafter today failed, consequently
his version of the matter does not at
this time appear.
The charges which General Shafter
has in hand were prepared and filed by
soldiers who were on the Tartar with
the kansans on the journey home 1t
IS said these cOmplainants are not
members of the Twentieth but belonged
to the regular army and made the
charges after being placed in the hos
pital at the Preside.
The details as to the identity of Mrs.
Capt. Collins have not reached Topeka.
1t is said that her husband was killed
in the Philippines and that she was on
her return trip to the United States.
She was taken sick and died. The SOL
diers charge that Major Rafter did not
properly treat her and the information
received in Topeka says the charges
specify instances of Rafter's neglect.
Then there is another phase of the
affair which involves DR.. Charles S.
Hoffman, assistant surgeon.
The information which comes from
San Francisco today states that the
charges are also made to include HOf-
man. He is involved by reason of
statements said to have been made by
the stewardess of the Tartar 1t is
claimed that this woman says she gave
to Hoffman, just as the Tartar pulled
up to the wharf, a chamOis skin bag
which had belonged to Mrs. Capt. Col
Inns. The steWardesS claims the bag
contained a large sum of money and
the information states that neither the
1 bag nor the money has been seen or
heard of. DR.. Hoffman probably turn
titled to it.
The report from San Francisco is ex-
tremely sensational and makes serious
charges against the two officers who

CANAL IS ALL RIGHT.
Special Committee Makes Report to
Gov. Tanner.

Chicago, Nov. 23@The special COM
mittee appointed by Gov. Tanner to in
spect the new sanitary canal submitted
its preliminary report to the sanitary
trustees today. The report is favorable
and ENSURES the opening of the canal
at an early day. The commission mas
that to properly dilute the sewage OF
a population of 1, 800, 900 contained in the
sanitary district $50 600 cubic feet OF
water per minute must be furnished
the Chicago river. The commission
finds the Chicago river will be fully
capable of accommodating the flow OF
water required, with a current less
than three miles per hour. The COM
mission will formally approve the en-
tire channel and recommend that Gov
Tanner issue permit for water to pc
turned in as soon as the bypass IN the
Chicago river and work at Joliet are
finished.
Captain Leonhauser's capture of the
town of O'DonnelI was a remarkable
strike. His command consisted of three
companies of the TWenty-fifth regi-
ment, Captain Albright and Lieuten-
ants Bates and Morton commanding.
He started at o'clock at night and
marched fifteen miles in the mud. The
only regular approach was along a
road and over river whose bridge was
strongly fortified. The entrance of the
town was entrenched. The soldiers left
the road and followed a cattle trail to
the rear of the town. At daylight the
command separated, one company ad-
Vapcing on the back of the town and
the others hanking it.
The insurgent force was asleep, eX-
cept those at the outpOstS, who were
captured without shooting. One pla-
toon ran down the main street to a
trench and the other detachmentS made
a quick search of the houses. An Off
/ Ger describing the scene said:
1.-The negro soldiers were pouring out
of every house, dragging sleepy, fright
ened Filipino WarrOrs by the collar and
kicking them into the street. 1t was
a race to see which company would cor
raj the most Filipinos. The women
and children, believing the stories told
that the negro soldiers were cannibals,
shrieked frightfully. After the rifles
had been secured the Filipinos were
surprised by being told to go to their
homes and attend to work."

lar instructions, for it is regarded as a
from sending warships to either the
Cape or to Delagoa Bay or Durham 1t
is felt to be unwise for the United
States to initiate the sending of war
ships to South Africa now. There can
be little doubt that such action on
our part would instantly be followed
by the naval powers of the continent
and French, Russia and German fleets
would follow each other there to the
complication of the situation. It is not
to be inferred that this attitude of
our government has been assumed as
the result of any presentations from
the British government

assert that Aguinaldo was not expect
ing the American advance for month
when the rains would have finished.
He had permitted a large part of his
army to scatter to their homes and do
the harvesting. The soldiers had hid

this is true many rifles are likely to be
brought in to secure the $50 offered for
each weapon seized.

a club in Chicago. It was also learned
that Tom Lotus is expected to sign a
contract with President Hart of the To-
cal club as manager of the Orphans for
the coming season in a few days. 1t
may even be possible that Lotus will
be here today to finish up the deal.

MAI. DALLAS ILL.
Operation Is Performed Wednesday
For Appendicitis.

Major E. J. Dallas, the well known
Topeka attorney, is dangerously ill at
the Stormont hospital. He was operated
on Wednesday for appendicitis.
Mr.. Dallas was taken i'll suddenly the
first of this week, and the attending
physician diagnosed his trouble as ap-
pendicitis. He was removed to StOrmOnt
hospital, and as the symptoms grew
more serious an operation was decided
upon. On opening the abdomen it was
found that the appendix was in a sup
purating condition.
Mr.. Dallas is reported to beresting well
today, but it is impossible for the ply
sicians to predict the outcome of the
case at this time. If he continues to
rest well during the next "a hours the
chances will be favorable to his re-
