NEW SANTA FE MOVE.
Line to the Orient Will Take Its
Freight at San Francisco

San Francisco, Feb. 4-Re1iable pri-
vate advices from New York received in
this city state that the Santa Fe rail-
road system has entered into an agree
ment with the North German Lloyd
Steamship company by which the Ger
man corporation, before the end of the
present year, will establish a line of
steamers from this city to the Orient.
In spite of the numerous denialS by the
steamship people these dispatches say
that the new line will be inaugurated.
The Santa Fe company, which taps
the great cotton belt and also the iron
region, has guaranteed to give such
freight rates to the North German
Lloyd that the steamship company can
compete successfully with the Pacific
mail monopoly. The Oriental trade in
iron and cotton is growing with great
rapidity and it is this rich traffic
which the North German Lloyd people
desire to share.
The Santa Fe will run trains into San
Francisco over it's own tracks in Sep
TENDER and Robert Capelle, the German
Lloyd company's. agent here, says he
believes that corporation will inaugur-
ate it's steamer line soon after that 1t
is expected that the opening of the pro-
posed line will greatly stimulate the
trade of the middle west and southwest.

BATTLE WITH INDIANS.
United States Marshal Mcclure and
His Deputies Kill or Wound
Number of Northern
Savapes
Savages.

Vancouver, B. c., Feb. 4.-Indians are
on the warpath in Alaska One battle
has taken place, and more fighting is
imminent.
Four Indians were killed and several
wounded in the fight which has already
taken place. Four American deputy
marshals were wounded. The Indians
are drunk, and there may be a general
uprising.
The steamer Clutch brings the news of
the battle at Juneau. An Indian was
killed by the United States Marshal
MCGUIRE in self defense. Fearing the
dead mans death would be avenged by
his friends, a vigilance committee was
formed, who acted promptly, captured
the malcontents and took them to pris-
on. On promising good behavior, they
were liberated next day, but the re-
vengeful nature of the savages demand
ed blood for blood.
The pretended acquiescence was
ruse. Plying themselves with liquor,
the blood-thirsty Alaskans deliberately
planned the murder of every member of
the vigilance committee. The attack
was made at night A friendly Indian
warned the whites of the contemplated
treachery, and as the Siwashes advanc-
officers warned them back. They still
came forward, opening fire, which the
whites promptly returned.
The United States marshal and his
followers having the advantage OF pO-
sition were able to pour in a deadly fire.
After the first fusillade the SavageS
stampeded hurriedly into the darkness,
leaving their dead and four wounded
comrades on the ground.
For some time the Indians and the
United States authorities have been
hostile the coast. The British Col
umbia legislature passed an obnoxious
law excluding Americans from one of
the richest parts of the Klondilke coun-
try, and Americans naturally resented
the discrimination. The quarrel spread
until the Canadians began smuggling
whisky into Alaska and selling it to the
Indians. The United States authorities
have been Selling large quantities OF
this liquor, and this led to the fight.

MISS KELLY'S LECTURE
Tells of Her Thrilling Adventures in
the Klondike Country.

Miss Emma Leonidas Kelly, who
spent a year in the Klondike, lectured
last night, at Crawford's opera house,
on the hardships and pleasures of life
in the Northwest Territory.
Miss Kelly is a handsome blonde, tall
and graceful, and although she has been
Iecturing but very short time, she has
a pleasing stage appearance and holds
the interest of her audience throughout
the lecture, which lasted two hours.
Miss Kelly speaks with sangfroid
that would certainly seem natural to
one who has shot White Horse rapids
The audience that greeted the lecturer
was small but appreciative, and fol-
lowed Miss Kelly with laughter and
sympathy from humorous to touching
stories of life in the gold country, and
at the close of the lecture many asked
questions which the lecturer answered
81 wanted to shoot White Horse rap
ids said Miss Kelly for I wished to
experience that thing called danger
which men court and women
dread. The occupants of the
boat wished to have me walk
across the land instead of shoot
ing the rapids, but I refused. The shoot
ing of White Horse rapids might be
compared to shooting the chutes. only
the boat attains twice the speed, the
walls of the canon are 200 feet high
and nearly perpendicular, the water is
rushing through the canon at an awful
rate and boiling away as II hfteen
steamboats, were running under the
water upside down; rocks are jutting
out in the middle of the stream and
have to be avoided; shoot the chutes,
imagine all this, only try to think of it
as being a little worse and then you
may have q very faint idea of the SEN
sations and dangers of shooting White
Horse rapids.
ssThere is an old established order in
the northwest called the I. o. o. P,
which stands for Independent Order of

ENOUGH LEFT TO DISAGREE
Not Many Democrats and Those There
Were, Were Inharmonious

There was a mass meeting of Demo-
Gratis at the Flambeau club rooms last
night to reOrganize the tattered rem
nants of the Democracy in Topeka. For
three years there has been no city CEN
trail committee and consequently no
organization and the meeting was held
to organize a new committee. 1t was
only partially successful.
Ex-senator John Martin acted as
chairman of the meeting and he called
for opinions from those present on the
question of reorganization.
G.. Max Claudy said that there had
been no meetings of the committee for
three years and no one knew much
about the affairs of the committee.
who is the chairman" asked some
one.
Lee Jones was chairman, but he
never attended a meeting, was the re-
A proposal was then made for the
Democrats present to organize a new
committee.
'+This meeting has no authority to or
ganize new committee" said Tom
Shillinglaw.
when as many Democrats as this
meet together said Senator Martin,
they have authority to do anything"
Tom Hanley of the First ward took
exceptions to the proposed plan of pro-
cedure. mo attempt has been made
to call the old committee together"
to serve until their successors were
chosen. 1t is not Democratic for this
meeting to usurp the authority that be-
longs to the wards and precincts. Let
the primary be held and at that time
the Democrats can meet and choose
their representatives.
M. Heery said that the time to act
was now. 1--WE have got to a place"
said he, where we have to build up.
We have been tearing down until we
have not even an organization left. We
have had no state ticket for years and
I think if there is to be any more fusion
we will let some one fuse with u.s.
Democrat chOck full of enthusiasm
arose at this juncture and said: "Ac-
when a meeting is called to reorganize
it means that the old committee don't
exist any more and we had better go
right to work now and elect a new
committee"
The meeting decided to elect a new
committee and the First ward represen-
tatiVes, led by Mr.. Hanley, revolted and
refused to name any members. Mr..
Hanley said that the First ward would
not recognize the new committee.
The committeeman chosen by the
meeting are as follows:
Second ward-First precinct, Owen
Callahan; Second precinct, F. v Ben
son; Third precinct, Geo. EtzeI; Fourth
precinct, H. Studevant; Fifth precinct,
L. M. Penwell.
Third ward-First precinct, NJ Mona

precinct, Furman Baker; Fourth pre-

cinct, L. Y. Grubbs.

DR.. HOWARD.
Tells His Experience with Coffee.

I am pleased to add my help to your
campaign of instruction on the subject
of coffee drinking. For ten or twelve
years have been a severe sufferer
from that cause.
gradually abandoned everything
from time to time that 1 thought pro-
duced the extreme nervousness from
which I suffered, and all of my very
frequent calls on my fellow physicians
resulted in no benefit until I was ad-
vised to do without coffee.
My condition at that time was such
that 1 was certain that L had heart
disease in one of it's worst forms. Many
a night [ have retired not expecting to
live to see morning. The action was so
feeble and slow that it would run as
low as 80 to 40, and never so, unless 1
was taking severe exercise or using
some stimulant.
My experience in examining patients
who presented themselves for opera
lions under an anesthetic, led me to
continually compare my condition with
theirs. and life was made very tniSera BILE
for me by such comparisons.
] suffered also from a constant mus
cular contraction of the f1eShy portion
of the left hand, a technical description
of which 1 will not undertake in this
letter, but 1 could not get rid of the
trouble.
These conditions, with a constantly
sour stomach, a feeling of extreme
faintness about an hour before regular
meal time, and a. sallow complexion.

was in just before / discontinued the
use of coffee. 1t was very hard to give
up coffee, but I was compelled to do so,
and for a while used water and milk.
Then ! tried SO-called cereal coffee,
which / have since learned is made
partly of coffee and partly of Drowned
grains, and is sold as an imitation of
your Postum. This did not work, so I
went back to the water and milk, until
about year ago got hold of Postum
the genuine. Since then have had one
cup and sometimes two every morning
and frequently for dinner at night. My
health was never better than it is now,
mo nervousness nor muscular contrac-
ton, no heart trouble or sour stomach,
and the pulse running from 20 to T6.
AT the time 1 was suffering from the
effects of coffee, 1 made application for
on account of the action of my heart.
To show what the abstinence of coffee
and the drinking of Postum will do, and
has done for me, 1 will say that in
March last 1 was examined for life in
surance and passed a most excellent
examination. Having gone through the
very disagreeable experience and been
relieved from the trouble, it is but nat
1lral that I should feel willingness to
assist you all can in your work, for
do not believe one person in ten has a
realizing sense of the damage to the
nervous system caused by the consump-
kion of Coffee. DIR. C. w. HOWARD,

26 MILES OF WATER
Reported to Be in the Panama Canal
Already.

New York, Feb. 4.-The Herald says:
Reports of extensive work on the Pana-
ma canal are brought by Charles l.
Dobson, an English civil engineer, who
has just arrived here from Colon. MI
Dobson said: II have visited the canal
on several occasions since 1891, but
have never seen anything like the ac-
tivity visible at present. The French
are evidently in earnest and are pro-
crossing at a wonderfully rapid rate
They are concentrating their energies
on the great Culebra cut, the most SER
ious obstacle along the whole route. The
company has from l, 700 to 1000 laborers
at work with about fifty locomotives,
each of which haulS a train of from ten
to fifteen cars.
''At the rate at which they are now
eXcavating the great cut will be COM
pleted within nine months. My impress
sion is that the management having
finished this cut, will declare that they
have solved the greatest problem Of the
canal and that additional funds are all
to completion. Water is actually in
nineteen miles miles of the canal on the
Atlantic side and seven on the Pacific
side.
up to the present about $137, 100000
in American gold has been spent and I
believe the canal can be finished for
$125, 100000 The company appears to
suffer from no lack of money, for the
men are promptly paid.
THE concession given by Colon ia,
expired last October, but I am informed
that arrangements have been made for
it's extension for another period of six
years. My impression is that it will re-
quire about ten years more work before
the canal is ready to receive Ships
