IT DOES DECREASE.
Insanity From Intemperance
Shows a Distinct Falling Off
Since the PrOhibitOry Law
Went Into Effect.
CAREFUL FIGURES
Made by DR.. Eastman and Com
parsons Drawn.
Insanity From Religious Ex-
element Increases.
CAREFUL FIGURES

"A Kansas City paper recently con-
tanned the statement that in Kansas, in
sanity is on an alarming increase caus-
ed by the poor quality of whisky used in
the state on account of the prohibitory
law.
The article further stated that there
are two insane asylums at present, an
other being talked of and 1000 insane
persons being maintained at the ex-
pense of the state outside of the asy-
1ums.
The number of insane cared for at the
expense of the state outside of the two
asylums does not number over 1000 and
is probably about 700.
Dr. B. D. Eastman was asked rela-
tive to the increase or decrease of in
sanity in Kansas and he said: Upon
examining the report of the Kansas in
sane asylums from 1867 to $780, with the
exception of 1873 which is missing, I
find that out of 1,067 patients admitted
to the insane asylums, A were caused
by intemperance, which is four and one
tenth per cent.
''Since the prohibitory amendment was
adopted or in the years 1881 to 1898 in
elusive out of $50 patients admitted,
215 or three and one-tenth per cent
We're attributed to intemperance- This
shows that the proportion of cases
caused by intemperance computed on
the number of insane, decreased from
four and one-tenth to three and one
tenth, which is a. reduction of % per
cent or in other words if the proportion
had kept up to the former figures the
number of cases admitted from intern
perance would have been 1874 instead
of 251 These figures show that insanity
from intemperance in Kansas has less
ened since the adoption of the prohibit
tory amendment
Il have also examined such asylum
reports as / had at hand for 1897 and
1898 and find the per cent of cases of
insanity from intemperance on the

Miss Daisy Davidson, the Topeka
young lady who aspires to be the
youngest Juliet on the stage, will
make her first professional appearance
in Mr. Lewis Morrisons stock company
at the Alcazar theater in San Francisco
next June. Her debut will probably be
as 'fJessica'' in 1.-THE Merchant of Ven
ice" Miss Davidson will be then but II
years of age.
Mr. Morrison wanted Miss Davidson
to study "Portia'' so as to play that
character to his ''Shylock," but Miss
Davidson preferred 'Jessica.' L think
Jessica is a more natural and sweeter
character" she told him. Mr.. Morrison
said she might have her way.
Probably the summer following her
debut on the stage Mr.. Morrison will
bring the Topeka girl out as Juliet

Her wish to be the youngest Juliet
will then be fulfilled, as there is no rec
ord of professional Juliet at Is.
If Miss Davidson fails to make a sue
cess on the stage it will not be because
she has not ability, ambition, deterni-
nation and a pretty face. She has dis
played her histrionic ability on several
occasions in amateur theatricals here.
That she is ambitious and determined
can be discovered by talking with her.
Topeka people have often commented on
her appearance.
AS might be supposed from her de-
sire to play Juliet Miss Davidson is
a great admirer of Shakespeare. Next
to her favorite character she likes
Hamlet above all others, and says
she would love to be able to portray

Santa Fe Will Invest In Much
New Equipment.
Money Expended the Past Two
Years on the Track.
ROADBED EXCELLENT.
Ten New Locomotives Will Be
Turned Out In Topeka,
Thi Year, Besides Receiving
Ten From the East.

Considerable money will be spent this
year by the Santa Fe management for
equipment. During the past two years
the bulk of the money expended went
into the improvement of the track, and
as a consequence the roadbed is now in
excellent condition and some of the sur
plus earnings can be turned to other
uses.
Much of the money set aside for
equipment will be paid out in this city,
as the greater part of the new equip
ment will be built at the general shops
here. If the earnings of the road suffer
no misfortune of one kind or another
this year will prove to be a steady year
at the shops here.
Ten new locomotives will be turned
out before the first of next January.
Every one of the ten will be of the
heavy compound class, capable of maxi
ing good time in all kinds of weather
with long freight trains. Furniture cars
and coal cars will be built to as great
a number as can be done without inter-
fering with the regular repair work
in the carpenter shop. These cars will
each have a capacity of SO, 900 pounds,
giving the Santa Fe some of the heav-
lest freight equipment OF any road in
the country.
Besides the locomotives built in this
city. the Santa Fe will receive from the
Baldwin Locomotive Works another
batch of ten passenger engines, calcu
lated to make excellent time. The plan
is not so much to reduce time to be
able to maintain speed in bad weather
and make up time in case of loss.

EXPECT A BEER WAR.
Agreement of St Louis Breweries
With English Syndicate Ten
Years Ago Expires.

St Louis, Feb 4.-Local saloon men
are expecting a beer war. They say st.
Louis brewers who sold out to the Eng
lsh. syndicate agreed not to REF enter
the business for ten years. The agree
ment, they say, will expire tomorrow.
Ellis Wainwright, president of the
trust, admits the agreement, but says
1t does not expire until October.
An excited meeting was held by the
syndicate directors today in the Vain
wright building, however, and saloon
men insist that two glasses of beer for
cents is on the bills.
The field of competition, which has
practically been closed since the syndi-
cate purchased SO many breweries, will
be opened then and one or more new
plants are likely to be started.

ROCK ISLAND EARNINGS.
Net Income for December $5o7,O36,
Increase of $2o, 1855 Over
December, 1897.

Chicago, Feb. 4.-The net income of
the Rock Island road for the month of
December was 1881, 036. an increase of
$29, 255 over the same month of last
year. The net income of the road for
the nine months ending December 81
was $6,034,265, an increase of $3.50, 1853
over the corresponding period of the
preceding year.
President Purdy says the December
figures show moderate increases over a
year ago. January was also slightly
ahead of a year ago, which is attributed
principally to the maintenance of tariff
rates
Weather conditions for moving traffic
are good. There is a fair movement of
corn, of which considerable is new crop.
Mr.. Purdy makes no attempt to fore
cast the business of the next three
months Usually storms prevail, caus-
ing uncertainty as to movement. Rates
are exceptionally we'll held. He asserts
that the Rock Island is taking nothing
below tariff and that he hears nothing
to the contrary from competitors.

A Purely Vegetable Blood
Remedy is the Only
Cure.

If the people generally knew the
true cause of rheumatism, there
would be no such thing as lln1-
ments and lotions for this painful
and disabling disease. The fact Is,
Rheumatism is a disordered state
of the blood-it can be reached,
therefore, only through the blood.
But all blood remedies can not cure
Rheumatism, for it is an obstinate
disease, one which requires a real
blood renledy-something more than
& mere tonic. Swift's Specific is
the only real blood remedy, and it
promptly goes to the very bottom
of even the most obstinate case.
A few years ago was taken with in
f1anlmatory Rheumatism which though
mild at first, became gradually SO in
tense that was for weeks unable to
walk. 1 tried several prominent Physi-
clans and took their treatment faith
fully, but was unable to get the slightest
relief. In fact, my condition seemed to
grow worse, the pains spread over my
e. tire body, and from November to
March 1 suffered agony. 1 tried many
patent medicines, but none relieved me.
Upon the advice of friend decided to
try s. S. s. Before allowing me to take
It, however, my guardian, who was a
chemist. analysed the remedy, and pro-
nounced it free of potash or mercury.

ton to association work along the line
of the Santa F'e and the Union Pacific.
Mr. McDin is an old railroad man.
having been chief clerk of Mr.. Burt

very highly among railroad men and
meets with the heartiest cooperation
in his work.

of the work January 1 by the interna-
tionaI committee of the Y. M G. A, and

Peoria Distillers Say Law Does Not
Allow Enough for Evaporation

Peoria, Ill, Feb. 4.-The distiIlers of
Peoria, in common with those of the
rest of the country, are trying to get
through congress a bill increasing the
amount of outage allowed by the evap-
Grafton of whisky in bond.
Under the present law the whisky can
remain in the warehouse in bond for
four years, with an allowance for loss
and evaporation during that time of
nine gallons a barrel, and with four
years after that time in which the own
ers can pay the taxes.
The proposed new law asks that they
be allowed an additional gallon and a
half at the end of each of these four
years as long as the whisky remains in
the bonded warehouse.
