Your view Of the rapid and sure absorption Of
the legislative power by the Executive is forcible
and true. But you are heavily responsible for the
success of the most daring and dangerous Of all
the Executive moves in our history-the Philippine
treaty. That was originally wholly Presidential,
and was put through the Senate against the free
win OF that body. Besides, its cousummation
goes farther to increase and strengthen Executive
influence and power than all the Reed rules ever
dreamed Of. Not doubt Of this

itself that there is somebody with a rigid
backbone in a position of authority where
matters of health are involved. The bu-
bonic plague has invaded Kobe, Japan, and
the germs have been traced to cotton i'm
ported from China. Yet DR.. Doty, health
officer of the port OF New York, persists in
reiterating his opinion that the plague ship
Taylor and the several suspected vessels
which have arrived at Quarantine from
Brazil should be permitted to discharge
their coffee. DR.. Doty is apparently indif
ferent to the possible danger Of such
procedure and willing to stake a whole
population on his theory concerning the bu-
bonic germ. However. there is we'll

TWO NIGHT CARNIVAL
Begins at the Auditorium To-
night,
NEARLY ONE HUNDRED
Business Houses in Wichita
to be Represented.
ARLY ONE HUNDRED

The Merchants Carnival opens at the
ing affair is promised. Several of Wich-
itas brightest young ladies have been
practicing and preparing for the affair for
a week, and those who have seen the re-
hearsals say that an unusual exhibit pro-
gram has been prepared. Nearly 100 Wich-
tia business houses will be represented.
Speaking OF a similar exercise conducted
by Mr. F'luke at wellington, the Mail
says:
The whole affair was an entertainment
novel and very entertaining to those who
were privileged to witness it.
The fairy drill by eighty little girls,
from real small ones to quite large ones,
was nicely given, showing the effect of
careful training. The same body of young
folks sang 1.-The Babes in the Woods, :"
the part beng acted by two of the small
est girls and the whole closing with a
beautiful tabIeau.
The carnival proper cor sisted of some
forty or fifty young ladies attired in fancy
costumes, each designed to advertise some
one of she wide-awaek merchants Of the
city. Each young lady bore a banner CIV
ing the name Of the merchant she repre-
scented, and each was allowed the stage
to herself longenough to go through a
short march. At the close all together
went through a lot of intricate evolutions,
presenting a very beautiful stage picture
The close was marked by brilliant tab
leau which constituted a fitting finale for
the carnival festivities.
In the first part of the carnival as men
toned each young lady was afforded an
opportunity TO display her originality, and
while space forbids the extended mention
which we would like to give, yet any ore
who attended can vouch for the statement
that the taste and originality of the cos
tunes was both varied and extensive.
All forms of business were represented.
The ladies representing the jewelers. wore
costumes trimmed with chains, spoons,
mirrors, etc. Costumes Of wall paper
which were very pretty, Represented the
wall paper dealers.
The dry goods and furniture and drapery
dealers were afforded an excellent oppor-
tunity to furnish a handsome costume for
young lady. The bankers representa-
tives wore costumes trimmed with paper
money in profusion.
The grocers presented an array of china,
food supplies, etc, which were some times
burden to the lady representatives. Sew
eral ladies trundied wheelbarrows around
and one an implement of the farm. One
lady brought out a load of coal. A lady
blacksmith demonstrated her ability at a
real forge. Another had wheelbarrow
load of tinware. A butchers representa-
tive brought along a young porker-shawI
strap fashion-and took his life before the
eyes of the audience. One young lady
representing dealer in guns discharged
gun toward the horizon and was re-
warded with read goose. The newspa-
pers wer ably represented by some Of the
prettiest girls. And, by the way, all the
girls looked pretty.

forward with cheers and coIors waving.
There were solid lines of insurgents
in trenches on the other bank. Their
bullets cut limbs from the trees and beat
up clouds Of dust as the Kansas troops
and Third artillery boldly waded across
the river and stormed a block house Of
the enemy. The Kansas men almost swan.
They charged the trenches, dripping with
moisture, but enthusiastic.
1t was such a charge as the Filipinos
could not make a stand against.
The fording of the river by the Kan
sas men under terrific fire was the most
heroic and enthralling spectacle OF the
war
This tells a glorious story. Here
were these young Kansans, not fighting
for principle, not fighting for homes and
firesides, not fighting an enemy who had
done them any particular wrong prior to
their engagement, most of the soldiers,
no doubt, not even in harmony with the
administration of the government of which
they are a part and under whose direc-
ton they were fighting, going into battle
like veterans. It was that Americanism,
that indomitable will, that high principle
and thorough bravery that makes the
American citizen the best soldier in the
world. Kansas should be proud Of its
contribution TO the army

MAY MEAN Ne v DEPOT
Missouri Pacific Extends
Across Douglas Ave.
INTO SOUTH WICHITA
Ostensibie Object TO Reach
New industries.

Yesterday morning early gang Of fifty
men set things all whirling on Waco ave
nue., pushing the Missouri Pacific tracks
across Douglas avenue south. The first
thing that passers-by asked was if the
company was going to give Wichita a new
depot. The query naturally comes up be-
cause everybody in Wichita wants new
Missouri Pacific depot, and wants it built
down on Douglas avenue. The extension
Of the track across Douglas avenue has
for it's apparent purpose to reach the new
Union Mills being put up down there near
the river, and one or two other institutions
for manufacture which are to go up soon
in that section of the city. But it may
mean also a fastening of the time when
the Missouri Pacific will give Wichita a
big, roomy, airy passenger house down on
Douglas A depot that isn't so unbearably
hot in the business months and so far
away from the business center. None Of
the Missouri Pacific people say that the
building OF the road toward the south
part of the city means any reduction in
the usual lapse Of time before the growth
Of the city will compel the building of a
new depot The people who think that
the move is step towards a new depot
cannot confirm the opinion, but there is
an opinion that the extension of the tracks
means some other improvements Moth
ing would delight Wichita more than to
have a passenger station on West Doug
las avenue, and next to this would be a
new depot on West Second street.

We wreath as a tribute, and lay at thy

We bid thee goodbye, Russell, and sweet

For this sweet hope we have when life's

We may meet thee and greet thee on

Why women are Nervous,
british Medical News.I


The frequent cases Of nervous prostra-
ton or utter collapse of the nervous sys-
TEN under which women go "all to
pieces" as the saying is, have caused
much thought and investigation on the
part of physicians.
Certain inorganic substances are well
known to cause various forms of nervous
diseases which are readily traced to the
poisons producing them. Further re-
search leads TO the belief that alum is
a prevailing cause of sO-called nervous
prostration, for the symptoms it produces
on the nervous system after its absorb
ton into the blood are very remarkable
indeed. Experiments physiologically made
upon animals by Orfila, Professors Hans
Mayer, Paul Seim and others, show that
alum frequently produces no visible symp
toms for many days after its Introduction
into the body. Then follow loss Of Ape
tite and other alimentary disturbances,
and finally a serious prostration of the
whole nervous system. The most prom
inent physicians now believe that merry
Gus prostration" and many affections Of
the nerves from which both men and
women suffer are caused by the absorp-
ton of alum into the system.
It is probable that many medical men
are unaware of the extent to which salts
of alumina may be introduced into the
body, being under the impression that the
use Of alum in bread is prohibited. Alum,
however, is still used surreptitiouSly to
some extent to whiten bread. and very
largely in making cheap kinds of baking
nOvyda~ In families where ba king pOw.ier
is generally used great care should be
exercised TO procure only those brands
made from cream of tartar. The alum
powders may generally be distinguished
by the lower price at which they are sold.
