LOOK HERE, MIR. STANLEY.
The Peerless Princess Says You Are
Treating Her Real Mean.

Wichita thinks that Governor Stan
ley is not treating his home town fair
ly.
The Wichita Beacon of June 2, says
editorially:
General criticism is made of the con-
duct of Governor Stanley with refer
ence to his attitude toward the Trans
mississippi congress now being held in
this city. There are two governors, five
ex-governors and several of the most
solid citizens of 81 western states in his
home state and home city and he ism
here. He came here Wednesday, spoke
for about five minutes welcoming the
congress and then pulled out for To-
peka. He is the man whose election
was urged because it would be a great
thing for Wichita to have the governor
of the state. His action is character
istically small and it can't help but be
as noticeable to the visitors as hum1ll-
ating to Wichita. Common courtesy
would dictate to any governor that he
should remain a few days in a city
especially his home city-whlle such a
distinguished gathering of visitors We're
in it to say nothing of the governor
and ex-gOVernOrS who We're present
The fact is that Governor Barnes OF
Oklahoma is more of a Kansas COVER
nor this week than Governor Stanley
Governor Barnes is making himself at
home in Wichita and making the other
governors feel at home with him.
Wichita will remember Governor stan
ley's smallness when he is again seek
ing to misrepresent Kansas"

Mcpherson Republican: The Topeka
Journal has begun a needed war on the
bad sanitation of the state house. The
air in the capitol has been bad so long
that no one has thought it possible to
be otherwise.

part of the state. and is headed to-
wards Topeka. 1t went out from Kan

An observant Kansas editor who has

WHY SHOULD 1T BE s?
Correspondent Makes Pertinent Sug-
gestions About Charities
Convention.

To the Editor of the State Journal.
A morning paper recently contained
an interview with DR.. Eva Harding re-
garding the selection of Topeka as the
place of meeting of the next National
Conference of Charities and Correc-
tons. This conference is not a money
making affair and it is doubtful if To-
peka or the state at large (Which ought
to assume large share of the expense
attending the meeting) will realize an
immediate money return for their in
vestment- But If the people of the
state will interest themselves in this
convention and come up to Topeka to
learn of the best way to administer
charities and correction and then apply
what they may learn to our own state
problems, it will be the best paying
convention Topeka ever had
DR.. Harding herself points out I'M
Willingly, perhaps, one of the lessons
which the. people of Kansas ought to
learn, and that is to keep the wither-
dng boa constructor OF politics from
crushing the vitality of honest, clean,
effective, experienced administration
out of the charitable and correctional
institutions. DR.. Harding has been for
several years physician to the reform
school and probably knows whereof
she speaks as to that institution when
she says: THAT extraordinary efforts
will be made to put the reform school
and insane asylum in the best possible
condition for the inspection of dele
gatesl -
Before these institutions fell into the
clutches of politics they were under
the superintendency of DR.. Buck and
DR.. Eastman respectively and were in
condition for the inspection of the
delegates seven days in every week
and 81 weeks in every year. Now extra
ordinary efforts must be made for
year to put them in condition!
Out upon it when the drag net of the
sectional party machine is hauled over
the state to gather up party workers
whoarefto berewarded fortheir dirty job

rollment in the charitable and correc-
tionaI institutions.

to such an enthusiasm as will cause

BETTER DROP 1T.
The Dewey Home Promoters Are All
Torn Up.

New York, June "a special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
The suggestion of Admiral Upshur
that the home which it is proposed to
purchase for Admiral Dewey should be
his only while he remains at the head
of the navy and at his death should fall
to the ranking officer of the navy does
not meet with favor at the hands Of
the committee in charge of the collec-
ton of funds.
The members of the committee point
out several objections to it, which from
their point of view seem vital. This
home, they say, is a tribute to the gal
liant and brave services of Admiral
Dewey personally and could not descend
to another admiral for the reason that
the rank will die with the man who
won that title at the battle of Manila
The rank ceased to exist with the
death of Admiral Porter and was only
revived on the occasion of great event
1t is probable that with the death of
Dewey there will be no other admiral
until another war produces another
naval hero. To make this house the
home of the ranking officer means
simply that it shall fall to the officer
VINO becomes rear admiral at the top of
the list through the ordinary promo
lions incident to the service. The pro-
position is not likely to be accepted by
the committee.
Mr.. Heath. the first assistant post
master general, a member of the ma
tional committee in charge of the col
lection of funds, has received assur-
anceS from relative of the admiral
that he will accept this gift from the
American people. The committee has
communicated with banks and post
masters throughout the country author
lZlng them to receive contributions and
II expects within a short time to hear
favorable reports. 1t is authoritatively
announced that the committee intends
to leave the selection of the house site
ETC. to the admiral. The statement that
the house is to be purchased and fitted
up before the return of Admiral Dewey
is repudiated by the committee This
home is to be located where Dewey
wishes it and will be furnished in ac-
cordance with his taste. Pending the
arrival in Washington of the dis
t1nguished occupant of the home, moth
ing more will be done than to proceed
with the collection of funds

"A THOUGHTFUL WRITER.
Finds it Pays to Be Thoughtful


when I first read in your advertise
ments the serious charges brought
against the old-style coffee, I knew
them to contain simple and accurate
statements of scientific fact which any
psychologist or hygienist could substan-
tate.
''Still, as an old coffee drinker, it was
hard to make up my mind to change
the old habit which had become SEEM
fngly so fixed a part of my life. For
many weeks 1 allowed myself to read
your sober warnings and stirring APP
peals to the conscience and reason of
the people, without taking action, not
withstanding the fact that I had for
years felt the habit was undermining
my nervous force, impairing the mem
DRY, weakening the sight and threaten
ing even to soften the brain. I had
also come across numerous instances
among my acquaintance of dyspepsia
brought about or largely aided by the
accumulated evils of daily coffee drink
Eng.
AN old restaurant man finally in
duced me to give Postum trial, he
and his wife having adopted it as one
of their household staples. I knew
him to be somewhat of a coffee connois-
seur, and was the more impressed by
his suggestion My first trial was un-
satisfactory and put it away, but for
tunately noticed your published warn
ing as to not cooking the coffee suffi-
GENTLY, and l saw then that 1 had not
given it a fair trial; so 1 went at it
again, and this last trial was sufficient
to convince me that the product is in
deed a marvellous invention and justi-
fies all the claims and more that you
make regarding it.
''Since that time the Postum has be-
come a daily beverage and a household
necessity with the whole of my family.
The benefits that have come to US
have been too many and too subtitle to
fully specify. In my own case, 1 enjoy
a sound sleep at night, waking thor
oughly refreshed; my eyes are stronger
and brighter, memory is certainly bet
ter and my nerves and digestion i'm
zneasurably improved 1t is my belief
that coffee and tea drinking is largely
responsible for much of the domestic
friction and misery, owing to the terri
bic ravages it works on the nerves and
digestion of those subject to these I'M
fortunate habits'' w Mitchell, The

Kansas Soldier Says He Is the Only

Seth A Hammel, hospital steward
with the Twentieth Kansas, writes his
father, George NJ. Hammel, under date
of April 20 as follows:
''Since recovering from malaria 1

climate here is excellent, the whole
Kansas regiment having lost but one
man from disease excepting smallpox
No 80 degrees below zero here but the
heat is nothing to notice. l am unde-
cided whether to remain here or to go

ty of $500 and travel pay to place of
enlistment. which in my case would
amount to 81, 600, provided we re-enlist
for three years. 1 have thought the
clusion that I can live on SIS a month
and save $4,000 by the end of the three
years I like the country and the work.
I'VE are still encamped at Malolos
and expect to move on to the next town
in day or two and then to be relieved
and sent to Manila. Kansas has done
more than her share of fighting and
ought to be relieved. 1t is rumored
that Col. Funston is to be appointed a
brigadier general and every one here
hopes that it is so. He has surely
earned it. Almost every one would be
pleased to have Major Metcalf for col
onel. He is fully capable of handling
the regiment and would be the only
man that could do it in the same man
ner as Funston.

other day and had it not been for John
Steele, who pulled me out, this letter

THE NURSES STORY.
She Unfolds the Whole Scheme of the
Clarke Abduction.

New York, June 3.-Before a notary
public Belle Anderson has made the fol-
lowing confession:
Il aided in the abduction of Marion
Clarke, the infant child of Arthur w.
Clarke, of this city, county and state of
New York. In this abduction 1 was
prompted by Mark Beauregard and his
wife Jennie.
II was told by them that I would get
half of any ransom paid for the return
of the child. 1 was poor, tired of hard
work and wanted money. I was told
that there would be absolutely no dan
ger.
The Beauregards schooled me in the
way to abduct the child. We had de-
termined to take the first child that
would command a ransom.
THE plan was suggested this spring
by Mr.. Beauregard 1 hesitated, but
they persuaded me to act.
"On Saturday, before we abducted
Marion L met Mrs. Beauregard in Cen
trail park. L would not let her take the
child then. I so pitied its mother.
ON Sunday met Mrs. Beauregard in
the park again, and she was so persist
ent that l let her take Marion from the
baby carriage. We went to Brooklyn
by the South ferry. That afternoon
ClarkeS she herself had written and
gave it to a boy in New York to de-
liver to the Clarkes. I knew Mrs.
Beauregard wrote the letter On Mon
day, when the abduction became public,
the Beauregards and Marion and l.
Mrs. Beauregard carrying the baby,
went to Sloatsburg.
II stayed there until Friday and then
went to the BeauregardS fat
Yesterday Mr.. Beauregard came to
see me, gave me $40 and told me to
leave the city.
Il then went to my aunt's home at

I was i'll and needed money"

Augusta, Me, Jan. 4.-The general re-
nubliean caucus of the Maine legislature
was held in the hail of the house TINS
evening to nominate state officials,
seven councillors and a United states
senator. Every nomination was by ac-
clamation. The event of the evening
was the nomination of q United states
senator. 1t was a foregone conclusion
that Hon. Eugene Hale would be named
to succeed himself, all idea Of opposi-
ton having vanished. The nomination
was made by grand chorus of ayes
without a mo- being heard. Mr.. Hale
appeared before the convention and
was gre eeted by a whrlwind of applause.
He made a strong speech of thanks,
clearly explaining his attitude on the
great question of the day. He was in
terrupted by applause several times and
given an ovation at the close.
Speaking upon expansion, he said:
Upon the question which perhaps to-
day is occupying mems minds more
than any other, the question Of what
is called expansion, there are two sides
/ am not an expansonist. | dread the
results of it. / dread the effect. ! am
honest in that. ! cannot with my views
vote for any measure or law Whatever
it may be that involves us in that. But
if I am overruled and oVerborne by the
majority-it is my business and my
duty to submit as party man and to
make the best of it, The republican
party can be trusted. If 1t has got to
go forward it will go forward. If it
has got to take any back steps it is
not ashamed to take them. And no
man can tell now in the present Cir
cumstances with the great subjects that
are coming before us, what will be
best That we have got to settle in the
future"
