The inslstence Of few yellow jour-
mails in regard to the supposed presi-
Dental aspirations Of Admiral Dewey
was for no Other purpose than to harry
the administration. They never could
have had any basis for the assertion
that Dewey's ambition pointed that
way. 1t was entirely foreign to the
character Of the man. and was COM
pletely at variance with all his acts
and public expressions. Admiral Dewey
being an unusually sensible man, fore
saw the effect Of entering politics. Adj
miral Dewey as a presidential candl-
date would be very different from Ad-
miral Dewey, the victor of Manila bay.
But these consclenceless journals as
much as insisted that Dewey did not
know his own mind, and in the most
lmpertinent manner put words into the
admlral's mouth which he never ut
tered.
This has gone to such lengths that
patience has ceased to be virtue with
the admiral, and he comes out in public
print to emphasize his convictions. He
stamps all the alleged interviews and
the casual remarks attributed to him
in private conversation as false in
every particular. After impressively
stating that he would not under any
circumstances be candidate for the
presidency, he frankly and sensibly
SAYS: az am now CO years of age, and
feel that l have reached all the honors
and rewards due to man in one life
time. have no training for political
career, and I should certainly make
great mistake to enter the race for the
presidency. There was Grant who
made a grand career as a soldier. but
1t is very doubtful and disputed
question whether he added anything to
his laurels by going into politics. My
old friend Hancock is an example and
warning to the same effect"
It is not the first time that Admiral
Dewey has suffered misrepresentation
at the hands of the yellow press. Be-
fore he arrived home he was quoted
with much circumstantIallty of detail,
as being opposed to the Filipino war,
and as u warm friend of AguInaldo.
The penalties and likewise the mIsrep-
reservations of greatness are some
times more varied than the hues Of the
rainbow,

As to Ohio.

Our friends across the river have just
closed a remarkably active campaign
for what is called an OF year. Its
Importance this year. however has
been emphasized by the demogogic
conduct of the Democratic campaign
managers, and the vicious methods em-
ployed by the Democratic candidate for
governor The real question in Ohio,
remarks the Cleveland Leader, is;
"shail the state proclaim that tho coun-
try must accept and fulfill its duties
IN the Philippine islands, or shall It
take Its stand with those who demand
that the stars and stripes shall be low
cred to a ml-barbarous adventurer,
and that whole people shall be sur
rendered to the wolves OF Europe?
Shall Ohio declare its confidence in the
statesmen and patriotic leaders within
the Republican party or shall this
state repudlate them for the men now
al the head Of the Democratic party,
Bryan, the political mountebank, Gro
ker, the ex-prIze fighter and greatest
corruptlonst Of modern times; Altgcld,
the iibern4or Of mountaineering anarsh-

MOVING ICE ON THE LAKE.

[FNrom the Chicago Daily Tribune. I
The immense ice field which covered
the entire head of Lake Michigan dur
ing the recent cold wave, and which is
estimated to have contained not less
than 1000 square miles of ice has dis
appeared. The warm weather of the
last two days, coupled with the south
west gale which has been sweeping out
from land, 1oosened the ice from the
shore and drove it far down the lake.
Sounds like the discharge of cannon
were heard when the big foe took it's
departure, and so violent were the de-
donations that buildings on shore were
shaken and a globe on q. hanging lamp
in the four-nile crib was shattered by
the shock. The occupants of the Sixty
when the shocks came, and they were
so startled by the heavy reports and
the trembling of the structure that they
ran out of doors hatless.
THE noise was like the sound Dewey's
guns must have made when he cleaned
out the Spanish fleet in Manila Bay"
said Captain William Smith of the Nor
ford. THE water had been falling at
the crib and we were in the house when
the first report came The crib trem-
bled like an earthquake, and we all
rushed out of doors in time to see the
field begin to move. 1t tore past the crib
about three miles an hour. The ice be-
tween the crib South Chicago piers and
SiXty-e eighth street pumping station
piers was held by the crib for a time,
but that gave way during the night
and commenced piling up against the
structure. First a big cake would slide
over the rest and land almost on the
breakwater and then fall back, to be
ground into powder by the one riding
over it in turn. The roaring and crack
ing were terrible, and the hard, fourteen
inch ice kept up heavy grinding
against the breakwater of the crib until
the last had gone by. I think the loud
cracks were caused by the water falling
faster than the, ice and air getting un-
der, which BECAME compressed and blew
UP the ice

Ex.sEN. BRICE.s EXPENSES


(From the New York Hera1d,)
The late Calvin s. Brice was one of the
most lavish entertainers who figured in Of
fetal life in Washington. 1t is estimated
that he spent upward of $4,000 a year
upon himself, his family and his large
circle of social acquaintance. One of his
former associates in the senate, in refer
ring to the recent death of Mr.. Brice,
lates this incident of him:
1t appears that Mr.. Brice and his fam
lily were rounding up their expenditures
at the close of a particularly brilliant but
expensive season. 1t was discovered that

to be very wealthy man, but he does
not spend much more than his salary for
his legitimate living expenses There are
many other rich men in congress who live

Looking southwark, it is not difficult to
find a number of senators and representa-

Times have changed, and the ma jority of
the Democratic senators are poor men who
have nothing but their salaries to live up
on. They do not make effort to plunge
in society-of course, there are few ex-
ceptions, but they own or rent comfort
able homes in a quiet neighborhood, and
some of them manage to save something
each year from their salary.
In the house of representatives the
southern men are, as rule, exceedingly
economica1. They spend as little time in
Washington as possible when congress is
not in session, and while here they live in
small homes and in modest boarding
houses removed from the fashionable
whirlpool. Some of the members are so
frugal that they do not draw the $75
worth of stationery allowed them each ses-

piled to the various committees on which
they serve.

Life Saved by Swamp-ROOt
The Great Discovery That Cores
Kidney and Bladder Troubles.

Statistics prove that more people are
brought to the grave by diseases of the
kidneys and bladder than by any other
disease.
For many years medical science has
been trying to discover some remedy
that would positively overcome these
dangerous troubles.
But not until recently was the dis
covery made. Doctor Ki1mer, the emf
nent physician and scientist, after years
of study and research, and after test on
test that never varied in the grand re-
suit, ANNOUNCED the discovery of Swamp
Root, which has proven itself a most
wonderful cure for all diseases of the
kidneys and bladder.
While Swamp-Root has proven such
a remarkable success in curing kidney
and bladder diseases. it has also proved
equally invaluable in the cure of blood
diseases, rheumatism, liver and stom-
ach troubles and in the regulation and
cure of all uric acid troubles.
Swamp-Root has been tested in so
many ways, in hospital work. in private
practice, among the helpless too poor
to purchase relief, and has proved so
successfully in every case that special
arrangement has been made by which
all readers of the State Journal, who
have not already tried it, may have a
sample bottle sent absolutely free by
mail Also a book telling more about
SWamp-Root and containing some OF
the thousands upon thousands of testi-
monial letters received from men and
women who owe their good health, in
fact their very lives, to the wonderful
curative properties of Swamp-R Root. Be
sure and mention the Topeka Daily
State Journal when sending your ad-
dress to DIR. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton.
N. Y.

sale at most drug stores in fifty cent
and one dollar sizes.

operating a bakery. The family were
all living in one building when this
awful QuantreH tragedy occurred Mr..
Wise was shot and died in the arms of
his wife. The dwelling and furniture
were burned, and the bereaved family
were left houseless and homeless. This
claim of Sc, 900 ought to have been al
lowed years ago, as the general govern
ment has appropriated large sums of
money to Hquidate these claims. Some
of them have been paid. but much of
this government appropriation has been
turned into the state treasury and used
for other purposes.
This just claim has been before the
legislature but has been neglected. The
state house war, the press of legislative
duties by the members and alleged
scarcity of time and various other ex-
cuses have prevented the allowance of
this claim, and the case should no
longer be neglected.

this claim, if allowed, would afford her
a great relief, to which she is justly

TWO TOPEKA BOYS
Have an Adventure With the In
surgents at Manila.

An extract from a letter received
from Manila says: Several days ago
Privates Davis and Myers of company
A had an exciting experience with the
insurgents.
After receiving passport they start
ed inland for few days prospecting
tour. They succeeded in passing both
lines easily, and were five miles beyond
the outpost of Aguinaldo's forces when
they met a band of natives about ten
strong and heavily armed. The insur-
gents would accept no remonstrances,
and the boys were promptly arrested.
Fearing that they were to be held as
prisoners they made a concerted break
for liberty. In the rush Myers was
struck by a heavy club and several
shots were fired after them as they
fed through the muddy fields and the
cane thickets, but they finally pulled
up, almost exhausted, under the protec-
ton of American rifles.

INTO A BAKERS OVEN
Chicago Thieves Threw the Proprietor
to Make Him Give Up Money.

Chicago, Feb. 23.-Burglars thrust
Fred Mottler, a Halsted street baker,
into his oven yesterday morning and
threatened to roast him alive unless he
told them where his cash was. The
thieves had bound and gagged him, and
the heat of the oven was blistering
Mothers skin, when he succeeded in
dislodging the gag and crying for help.
His screams alarmed his wife and chill
dren, and their cries in turn frightened
the three masked men, who were tortur-
ing the baker, and they turned and fled.
Mother was kneading dough for his
morning baking at the shop, No. 5125
Halsted street, when the outer door
suddenly opened and three hold-up men
confronted him. They quickly seized
and gagged him. Tying his hands and
feet with a rope taken from the pock-
cts of one of the men, they forced Mott
Ter into chair.
I'VE want your money that you've
got hidden here, and we want it quick
said one of the robbers.
Mother shook his head, and the man
who had spoken laughingly said to his
companions, HE can't talk much with
that" at the same time 1oosening the
piece of bagging which had been thrust
into the bakers mouth.
Mottler protested he had no money
on the premises One of the thieves, no.
ticing the preparation for baking, pulled
open the oven door, and said: stick
him in there till he warns up a bit, and
then he'll tell"
Suiting the action to the word the
men readjusted the gag in the bakers
mouth and pushed him into the oven.
Realizing his danger Mottler managed
to get the gag loose and uttered a pierre
ing scream.
The cry reached his wife just as the
iron door swung to with a clang. With
out knowing just what danger her hus-
band was in, Mrs Mother began to
scream, and the children followed suit.
and giving him a brutal kick the men
fled through an open window.
Policemen Sandstrom and Burns, at
tracted by the cries, responded, and a
general alarm was turned in. The po-
licemen released Mottler, who was in a
state of nervous prostratiOn bordering
on collapse because of his terrible or
deal.
The police made a thorough search of
the district for Mothers assailants, but
could get no trace of them.
