well to the front among the comedians
of the American stage and Topeka should
tender him one of the largest audiences of
the season. ''His Fathers Boy is by
Sydney RosenfeId. and is said to be one
of the best plays this favorite actor has
ever had. He has a most congenial role

plicated situations ever laughed at. The
story of the play is highly diverting, and
the characters are admirably drawn, be-
ing of natural and most interesting types.

exceptionally strong one, all have splen-
did opportunities

question, says the Osaka Mainichi, is
giving the Japanese government a lot
of trouble. Everywhere the emigrants
have gone they have met with opposi-
ton, and the policy of the government
was to refuse, as far as possible, to
grant passports to free 1aborers to Ha-
wall, America and Australia.
The adjournment of the United States
congress before arriving at any decis-
ion on the question Of immigration has
given further opportunity for the con-
SideratiOn of the matter. The Japanese
government intends to enter into nego-
tiations with the United States in re-
gard to the matter.
Hitherto, it appears, the fact that Jap
anese emigration companies are obliged
under the provisions of the japanese
emigrants protection law to keep agents
at the different landing places and there
sign agreements with the emigrants,
promising them all necessary assist
ance should they become i'll and help
less, has led to great difficulties with
the United States customs authorities
as to whether such were contracted
free laborers. 1t is anticipated, also,
that in the event of contracted immigra-
ton into Hawaii being prohibited the
same difficulty may arise there

GUATEMALA LINE.
G. p. Huntington's Plan For q New
Route to the Pacific.

New Orleans, April For nearly half
a century there have been spasmodic
attempts to construct railway lines
across the isthmus between the two
oceans at various points in Mexico,
Guatemala, Honduras and Costa Rica,
but the Panama road, which was built
during the gold excitement of 1849, is
the only one that has succeeded. 1t cost
q mint of money and thousands of lives.
1t is said that every tie on the track
represents some poor 1aborer who was
sacrificed to the climate and the dis
eases it breeds. The Panama road has
been a profitably property. There is
probably no other piece of track Al
miles long in the world that pays SO
much revenue. 1t belongs to the Pan
anna Canal company.
The Mexican government has built
railroad across the isthmuS of Tehuan-
tepec, but it has been of little use to
commerce, for the reason that there is
no harbor at either of the termini which
will accommodate ocean-going steam
ships. Contracts have been let and are
now being executed by English engl-
neers for the construction of docks,
breakwaters and other harbor works
which will make the Tehuantepec ROAD
an important factor in tranScontlnentaI
traffic.
For several years Costa Rica has had
a line of railway from San Jose, the
capital, to Port Limon, the chief city on
the north coast, and a short line run
ming toward the Pacific, but there has
been a gap to be covered by stage
coaches or other vehicles for passengers
and oxcarts for freight. Gen. J. ).
Easement of gainesville, O., has a con-
tract for completing the road during
the present year. 1t will be great
thing for Costa RIGA and add much to
the prosperity of the country.
For Is years or more the government
of Guatemala has been trying to build
a railroad from Guatemala City to
Puerto Barrios, on the Caribbean sea-
Several million of dollars have been
borrowed at home and abroad for this
enterprise but it has been diverted to
other purposes and wasted in reVolu-
tions Within the last few weeks, how
ever a contract has been made with Z.
p Huntington for the completion of the
line which he promises to accomplish
very promptly. 1t will cost about 3d.
600 900, and not only open up a new COT
fee district of great Importance, but Will
shorten the distance from Guatemala
to the United States nearly 1900 miles,
by allowing steamers to enter the mar
bOrs on the north coast. At present
everybody and everything has to go
and come from the Pacific side by way
of Panama or San Francisco. A glance
at the map will show that the distance
New Orleans and other ports on the
gulf of Mexico is comparatively short
Mr. Huntington already owns the 9TH
err railroads in Guatemala, including
the line from Guatemala City to the
Pacific port of San Jose, and 1t has been
a profitable enterprise. Work Is to be
pushed upon the new line to the north,
and the beginning Of the century will
probably see it completed.

There are some kinds of trout e that

trouble that is easily avoided If you
know how to do 1t. Here is true
statement of Mrs. NJ. Langton of 2o21
Hanna street, Logansport, Ind, telling
of her trouble and now she got entirely
over 1t. She says: Il am well aware
every one has trouble without listening
to mine, but hope by telling mine
shall instruct others how to avoid theirs.
For ten years at least I have had
more trouble with my back than can
well be expressed on paper. 1t began

Increased and urinary disturbances fol-
lowed. The urine was excessive In

passage. Then 1 had sharp, shooting
pains and swelling of the limbs wh1ch
became very painful. For the past hVe
or six years several doctors have treat

After the first box was used 1 grew

BARGAIN WAS MADE.
Reed Will Offer No Opposition to nc.
Kinley in 1900.

New York, April with the return
of Senators Platt and Depew from their
recent visit to the president came
abundant confirmation of the story that
Mckinley and Reed made a bargain at
Jekyl island whereby the latter will
offer no opposition to the denomination
OF the old ticket of 1896, provided the
administration places no hurdles in the
way of his own reelection as speaker.
Senator Depew, while unwilling to char
acterize it as bargain was very frank
in his utterances.
81 believe that Mckinley and Hobart
will be renominated and reelected" he
said tonight. II returned from Wash
ington thoroughly convinced that Pres
ident Mckinley is to be renominated;
that Vice President Hobart will prob
ably again be his running mate, and
that Thomas 3. Reed will have no OPP
position from the administration and
perhaps from no quarter within the Re
publican party for reelection as speaker
of the house of representatives. Not
once that L can recall did L hear Gov
ernor Roosevelt's name mentioned in
connection with either the presidential
or vice presidential nomination.
What do you think of the proclama-
ton to the Philippine natives?" he was
asked.
1T is a most able and fair document.
Now is the chance for Aguinaldo and
his followers to come in and discover
what real liberty under Uncle Sam

ALARMED BY ICE GORGES.
Missouri River Overflow Expected and
Stockmen Warned.

Sioux City, Ia, April 7.-Start1ing dis
patches were received today by the SUI
perintendent of the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul railway at this point re-
garding the sudden rising of the water
in the Missouri river near Gayville, s.
D., and he Immediately wired back that
messengers must be dispatched among
the stock raisers in the valley, warning
them that the ice was gorging below
that point.
The water is spreading rapidly over
the sloughs and is already at the top
of the river banks. The greatest fears
are entertained that the muddy stream
will overflow and do great damage to
property and live stock. The dispatches
stated that an ice gorge had formed in
the early morning three miles south
west of Gayville and that every hour
it had become firmer, and there was no
hope of it's breaking for several days.
Men on horseback are stationed at the
gorge, and the moment the danger of
overflow is seen to be great they will
ride through the valley, warning the
hundreds Of farmers to leave with their
stock. The country is fiat in that vi
cinity. Word has also been received
that a gorge has formed below Sioux
City near the town of Onawa, and that
arrangements are being made to blow
it I'D with dynamite.

BIGDAMAGE TOWHEAT
Country Grain Men Say About 80 Per
Cent of the Kansas Crop is Killed

Kansas City, April IA compilation
and summary of nearly 100 reports from
Kansas was made this morning in the
office of Perrine Brothers, in the Ex-
change building. They cover nearly
half of all the counties in the state.
and three fourths of the big wheat
growing counties. The tenor of them
is uniform. Nearly all report so per
cent damage. A few put the figure a
little less than that and some of them
more. There are six reports claiming
that only % per cent of a crop can be
raised. From north to south and from
east to west, throughout the wheat sec
ton, the reports are the same.
In southeastern Kansas, where much
soft wheat is raised, the reports are not
so bad and in the far northwestern
counties there has been little damage
Indeed, in some of those counties the
prospect is for as great a yield as was
ever harvested. But they have only a
small percentage of the aggregate area
OF the state
The summary made of the Perrine re-
ports is as follows:
Spring is fully three weeks late No
farm work has been done except in the
southern tier of counties. The winter
was very severe on wheat and the alter
nate freezing and thawins Of the past
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1899-04-07

fifteen days has done much damage,
especially to late sown fields. Reports
show average damage of so per cent in
the important wheat counties. In the
southern counties many fields have
been plOwed up, but over the rest of the
state it has been too cold and wet for
blowing. The almost universal opinion
damage is; that it will take ten days
of growing weather to demonstrate the
extent of damage. The plant is losing
vitality every day. If weather condi
lions are favorable there will be an in
crease of 10 to so per cent in oats area,
yet it is so late that it is doubtful
whether they will make a crop. There
will be an increased acreage of corn
The area of wheat planted in Kansas
of agriculture was 4,64O,O00 acres, an
increase of only per cent over the
area of the previous year. 1t is likely,
however, that the acreage is close to
million acres, for the private reports
show a much greater increase than 3
per cent If half the area should be
abandoned. the remaining 21a million
bushels of wheat under favorable con-
ditions. The yield of 1898 was so, 795, 900
bushels, according to the state report.
1t is well to bear in mind, in consid-
ering crop news, that reports are al
most always exaggerated. 1t is possible
that the present reports of so per cent
damage may be modified one-half, af-
ter a week or so of growing weather,
and it may be still possible for Kansas
year, but the great majority of country
men who have written to grain men
here, seem positive that their reports
have not been exaggerated.
