INHUMAN TREATMENT.
Colored Men With "Cuban Chicken
pox'' Nearly Starved

George Hicks, a cOlOred man who re-
sides at 1921 East Eighth avenue, ar
rived in Topeka last night from Bel
vue, a, small town half way between St.
Marys and Wamego on the Union Pa
cific. He brought with him a story of
hardships suffered by three cOlOred Ia
bOrers because of a quarantine estab-
Hshed against sO-called Cuban chick
enpox"
Hicks was one of a gang Of colored
1abOrers employed in grading along the
Union Pacific line in the vicinity of
Belvue. Some time ago the disease
broke out in the camp maintained by
the men IN the nelShbOrhOOd, and DR.
Swan, secretary of the state board of
health visited the place and established
a quarantine against the entire camp
Three of the men who were suspected
of having the disease were isolated in
a bunk car and the car was run onto a
Sidetrack some distance from the camp
The citizens of the town observed
the quarantine strictly as far as the col
Ored labOrerS were concerned but white
section men who worked daily in the
vicinity of the camp were allowed TO
come and go as they pleased Patrick
Callahan, a white man in charge of
the grading, was also allowed to go
into WamegO every night. Provisions
for the colOred men We're brought out
from BelVue and deposited at a certain
place, and the cOlOred men We're COM
PEELED to pitch the money for eatables
from a distance. Hicks says the quar-
anIlne was InaQe an excuse TO raise the
price of all provisions about 80 per
cent.
Several of the colored men, includ-
ing Hicks, tired of this system and
started to walk to Topeka On their
journey they passed in the car in which
the three men We're isolated, and talked
with them. The men told them that
from Monday morning up to that time,
Thursday afternoon, their entire food
supply consisted of three quarts of
milk and ore loaf of bread. They also
stated that the doctor had not visited
them for about a week.
The men had been told that if they
left the car they would be jailed and
heavily fined.

ALLEN LEADS.
But Two Candidates Mentioned
For Senator HayWard's Place.

Omaha, Dec. S.-Governor Poynter
has been called from the capital to AL
bion by the illness of his father and
this has caused a slight break III the
fight for the appointment of senator to
succeed Hayward. The friends of both
Allen and Hitchcock are busy organic
ing their forces however.
One feature OF the contest is the
dropping of all talk of a compromise
candidate and it appears certain that
one of the two will get it. The fusion
members of the last legislature are
practically unanimous in urging Aliens
appointment. AS they are practically
all Populists and Governor POynter is
also a POpulist, this is counted upon to
have its effect.
The Democrats are apparently united
on Hitchcock and are making their
strongest fight on the plea that the
Democrats have not heretofore receiV-
ed their share of the offices under the
fusion arrangement. The only serious
detection among the Democrats from
Hitchcock is Attorney General Smyth
who is in Washington and who is re-
ported to have telegraphed POynter
urging Aliens appointment. The gov
ernOr has announced the appointment
would not be made before the middle of
next week in order to give all parties
ample chance to be heard.

TO ACQUIRE MORE ISLANDS
Government Has It's Eye on the Is
lands of Galapagos.

Washington. Dec. S.-Senator Lodge call
ed at the state department to talk with
Secretary Hay about his Galapagos isl
resolution of inquiry he said that aH-the
information he had as to the reported at
tempt of the English government to Sc
cure the islands was derived from news
paper sources. The state department
itself had no direct information of any
recent movement looking 10 the acquisi-
tiOn of the islands but will refer the resO-
luton of inquiry to United States Minis
ter Sampson at Quito for a. response. It
would not be at all surprising it IS said
here. if the ultimate result of the brOa CHI
ing OF this subject We're the acQui-
sitiOn of a COalinS station these ISL
andS by the United States government.
In fact the navy department has within
the past year been making a quiet in
yestigatiOn into the facilities there exist
ing with that object in view. Commander
Tanner was dispatched to Galapagos ISL
ands just after the conclusion of the war
with Spain to make a personal examina-
ton of the conditions existing He found
that the EcRztdorean government had
some years ago abandoned its penal sta
ton on Charles island. leaving behind a
large number of domestic animals in
half wild state and these fOcks had enor-
mOusly increased. Only one of the half
dozen islands was inhabited. namely.
Chatham island and that island had but
one inhabitant in the person Of a Mr..
CObOSS- He was of ECuadOrean birth. but
he was a naturalized American citizen.

public library at the time. CharlebOis,
who is from Helena. is editor of a pub

During his discussion with Dwyer he
made the statement that he had read
the figures "666'' marked on the fore
head of the Pope and Dwyer said they
had an anti-Christ significance and
called Charlebois a liar and made a
rush for him, with an upraised hand
to strike him. Charlebois says he stood
up and called upon God to protect him
and before Dwyer could strike he drop

Salt Lake Tribune Says Pointed
Things About Roberts.

Salt Lake, Utah, Dec. 6.-In reply to
the appeal to the American people is
sued by Brigham H. Roberts yesterday
the Tribune of this city today prints
the following editorials:
''B. H. Roberts appeal to the country
adds nothing to the merits of his case.
He is evidently seeking to awaken a.
belief that it was a Republican major
ity that met him at the threshold of
the house and declined without an in
VeStigatiOn to accept his ticket of ad-
mission. In his disappointment he di-
rectly charges the members of the
house of representatives with cow
ardice as betraying their trust and viO-
lating their Oaths, being cowed by pop
faith of the state IN the matter of
pOlygamy is a dishonest plea, a mere
juggle with words his declarations in
this matter are belied by abundant
proofs His affected sorrow lest other
states may be deprived of their repre-
sentatiOn on the precedent in his case
is balderdash, of the same order as his
affectatiOn that the action taken
against him has been without cause
But the most indecent play he makes
is where he pretends to believe that he
is excluded because he is a Mormon
when no one knows better than he that
his predecessor was a Mormon in quite
as good standing in the church as him
self and not a whisper was raised
against him. And when Mr. Roberts
pledges his honor to the denial of
things that are well known and in
evitably arise from the circumstances
and facts involved in his election, so
much the worse for his honor"

powerful Howitzers, which were sent
out from England. A single section of
this battery arrived at Cape Town
three days ago, and its 1yddite shells
would be a source Of strength for the
relief column.
Cautious veterans who discussed the
situation last night refused to believe
that Ladysmith could be reduced to eX-
tremities when SO large a British army
was encamped twenty-five miles away.
There was an unCOnfrmed rumOr dur
ing the evening that the Ladysmith
garrison had made successful sortie
on Monday. Another bulletin was that
the garrison was safe on Wednesday.
and, unfortunately, there was a more
trustworthy report that George Lynch,
the correspondent of the Echo, had
been captured by the Beers outside the
British lines. He is brainy journalist

left London at twenty-four hours
notice to represent three journals.

HABEAS CORPUS
Writ Granted by Judge Thayer
in the Reese Case.

St. Louis, Dec. 8.-Judge Thayer, in
the United States court today, granted
a writ of habeas corpus in the case of
Jno. Reese, one of the members of the
executive council of the United Mine
Workers association of Iowa, who is
now in Jail in Fort Scott, Bourbon
county, Kansas, for contempt of court.
The writ was made returnable Decem-
Der p, when arguments as to the juris-
dictiOn of the circuit court of Bourbon
county viii be heard Bail was fixed
at s., 900.
Reese is a walking delegate of the
Mine Workers association, who went to
Bourbon county, Kansas, where coal
miners strike was in progress and con-
trary to the injunction of the circuit
court held meetings. He was arrested
and sentenced to three months impris-
onment for contempt of court. The at
torneys of Reese appealed to the Uni
ted States appellate court, claiming that
the circuit court of Bourbon county las
no jurisdiction over him in this case.

Wagner Car Company Must Pay For
Selling Same Berth to Two Persons.

New York, Dec. S.-One of the most
singular suits on record has just been
decided in the city court in this city,
Marcus Braun having secured a judg-
ment against the Wagner Palace Car
company for $3.50 as damages for a
conductors who allotted berth al
ready sold to Braun to a woman. When
the error was discovered every berth
in the train was sold and Braun was
compelled to sit in the smoking com
partment during trip from Cleveland
to this city When Braun bought his
coupon for the berth he left his lug
gage in the seat and went to the smOk-
ing compartment. He did not return
for two hours. according to his own
story. but when he did he found the

jured his feelings, he says, that a mon
ey compensation is due him, he al
leges. The woman in the berth pro-
duced a coupon which was an exact
duplicate of the coupon given to Braun.

Favor Kansas City Paper.

The Republican politicians are now
involved in a quarrel over a statement
that some of the leaders made an ef-

meeting to have the committee circu-

Cy Leland was charged with being
behind the scheme and he gave out the
following today:
Topeka, Kan, Dec. 8, 1899
c. Leland, jr., Topeka, Kansas:
Dear Sir: observe that it is charged
in some quarters that you at the recent
meeting Of the Republican state cen
trail committee or the executive COM
mittee of that body advocated the
sending out of the Kansas City Jour
nal to doubtful voters in this state.
Since my name was connected with the
matter, I desire to state in justice TO
you, that you did not at said meeting
advocate the sending out by the com
mittee of any newspaper published out
side of the state of Kansas
Respectfully. T T. KELLY
We. the undersigned, desire to state
that we were present at the committee
meetings referred to by Nj. Kelly and
take pleasure in saying that his state
ment to you in regard to the matter
mentioned is true and correct.
