BUY AT HOME.
State Board Purchased Sup
plies In Missouri.
Commercial Club Will Try to
Discover Why.
IGNORE INSTRUCTION.
Legislature Adopted a ResOlu-
ton Which Was Plain.
Goods to Be Bought In Kansas
When Possible.

The regular monthly meeting Of the
Commercial club, the first one during
the time the club. is supposed to be TAX
ing its summer vacation will be held
Wednesday night, and a meeting OF con-
siderable interest is anticipated.
One matter which will come up for
discussion and possible action, in all
probability, will be the action of the
state board of charities in letting the
contracts for supplies for state institu-
tions for the next six months. It is
claimed that the board was trapped on
some articles, and that they let con-
tracts for certain lines to parties out
side Of the state at a rate cOnSiderabI
larger than was bid by local concerns.
During the last legislature a resolu-
ton was passed in both houses requiring
all articles used by state institutions to
be purchased within the state whenever
possible. 1t was not thought necessary
to make it a law as it was supposed
that the board would act in accordance
with the suggestions made in the reso-
luton.
It is now charged that when the board
of charities awarded its contracts a
short time ago, it gave q, Kansas City,
Missouri, retail firm a contract to fur
nish 303 pairs of wooden blankets at a
price far in excess of bids made by To-
peka firms. It is claimed that the
blankets are Of a very coarse quality
and that the Kansas City firm will make
so per cent on their contract, while one
Topeka firm, at least, put in a bid at a
price that would give it a margin of just
per cent.
The matter will probably come before
the Commercial club tomorrow night,
and the club may conclude to do a little
investigating. There may be other ar
ticles on which discrepancies just as
great were made.
IF We had known the board would
have worked in this way" said Senator
Anderson today, I'VE would put the
matter through the legislature in the
shape Of law instead of a resolution.

SPANS STATESMEN
Were Foolish to Plunge Into War
Says Captain Concas-

Washington, July u.-Captain Victor
NJ. Concas, who commanded the Infanta
Maria Teresa in the battle OF Santiago,
has written an article, which has just
been translated by the navy depart
ment, bitterly arraigning those who pre-
ciDitated his country into war The
arraignment is in connection with a
description of the bravery of Don Joa-
quin Bustamente, Cervers's chief of
staff, who was wounded at Ell Caney
and who died from the effects of the
climate.
The events of the unfortunate war
with the United States" says Captain
COncas, ARE still too recent to make it
necessary for US to recall them, espec-
tally as relates to the personnel of the
navy, prOba bly, the only element of the
whole Spanish nation which is not re
spOnsible for it, and if the smallest OF
statesmen had not been at the head of
our affairs we should never have en-
gagged in this mad war, the results OF
which could not have been different
from what they were.
In this connection we claim glory
and honor for Bustamente. who insisted
that the squadron should not go to
Cuba, as it would mean to surrender
the country to the enemy, so to speak,
and when he insisted on this, and main
tanned it over his own signature. he
was afraid of nothing, but was inspired
by his patriotism.

tains shot and that he would thereby
have saved Porto Rico and the Philip
pines for Spain. But what is as clear
as daylight to any one who knows
something of history, but nothing of
strategy, many of those who call them
selves great men, to say nothing of the
Spanish people generally, could not be
made to understand, and Bustamente,
after stating emphatically-he as we'll
as his chiefs-Where the inevitable dis
aster lay, furnished another instance
of sublime sacrifice
Captain COncaS describes BuSta-
mentes death and the removal of his
remains to Spain, and adds.
REST in peace, beloved Bustamente!
Some of us more fortunate than you
have returned to the dear ones of our
hearts, but at what sacrifice! IF you
could raise your head you would not be
neve that those who have caused the
ruin of our country who would not listen
when we asked for ships and arms for
its defense, and answered that we only
asked for ourselves; those who have,
perhaps become enriched through the
war and live in opulence while your
ones areHvivng in poverty; that they are
the dearOnes who in order to deceive the
people and the whole world. dare raise
their voices to malign those who, like
yourself, had the great courage to say
that we should not go to war, and after

a little daily thought and regard for health.
If when man feels that he is little out

he will never have to submit to the more
serious ills Of life. Most men, when they
have a headache, feel drowsy during the
day and are restless during the night, and
find their appetite falling of, pay little or
no heed to these warnings. The inevitable
result IS some dangerous and possibly fatal
malady. The doctor may call it consump-

some blood or skin disease. It makes but
little difference. These troubles all have
their inception IN the same cause-ir1-
