NIPPED IN THE BUD.
A San Salvador Revolution Squelched
and Promoters $4,000 Taken.

New York, March 6.-From San Sal
vador comes news of a revolutionary
movement recently nipped in the bud
and of the confiscation by the govern
ment of $4,000 belonging to DR.. Jose
Alfaro, who it is reported, was to lead

some months he has been in Honduras
dent Tomas Regelado, it is said. DR..
Alfaro is wealthy and it is reportedthat
he instructed his representative in San

ammunition.
The agent did this, but President
Regelado learned of the plot. the re-
port goes, and Immediately took possess
sion of the money and also caused the

other is not knowing how to eat. What
women don't know about both has built
ten thousand hospitals. Consider the
ways of man and be wise Women
worry too much; they hurry too much;
they are misers to jolity, and they
nearly always die leaving a large ac-
count in the banks of merriment. Wo-
men not only cross bridges before they
come to them, but they are gifted bridge
builders. Men can stop in the midst of
perplexities and have a 'guffaw.' 1t
is this faculty that keeps them young.
Women can not and that is why they
fade earlier. Worry not only wrinkles
the face, but it wrinkles and withers

Fads and Fancies.
Lately it has seemed that street
skirts were becoming more sensible in
length and width, but the latest edict
dispells that illusion as it states that
the popular skirt for the coming spring
and summer is to be very long and
flaring, not only in the back and on the
Sides but in front as well. 1t also seems
that the plaid skirts are to remain with
us and the plaids will be larger and
gaudier than ever.
The stores are full of fluffy chiffon
neck gear, in all colors and styles,
which add greatly to the plain waists
now being worn.
Among the new petticoats shown in
the stores is an exquisite affair of shell
pink tafeta; it has Scant knee
tlounce, finished with a frin of aceor-
dion pleating about a foot wide, and
falling over this is a flounce cut in
deep points, edged with a narrow white,
pink polka dotted ribbon; at the top of
the f1ounce is a quilting of the silk
edged with the ribbon. This, worn with
a handsome white pique skirt and pink
silk blouse to match will make a lovely
summer costume.
The newest thing in purses is the
finger purse; besides possessing the
charm of novelty, it is very convenient
to carry while shopping. 1t is about
two inches wide, and three long, with
a narrow strap across one side through
which the fingers may be slipped A
handsome silver or gold monogram on
the back adds an air of elegance.
Grenadine is now so skillfully copied
in cotton that there is little difference
in the weave of the silk article. Cotton
grenadine is certainly the daintier, and
judging from the tales of woe told by
owners of expensive silk grenadines, it
would be nearly as satisfactory to wear.
Cotton gFenadine is one of the most
transparent fabrics on the market, and
calls for extremely pretty Innings.

MAY NEED THE MONEY.
Balance in North Topeka Sewer Fund
Will Be Saved.

Councilman Belts introduced a reso-
luton into the council last evening pro-
viding that the unexpended balance in
the North Topeka sewer fund.- amount
ing to something over $500, be expended
for catch basins leading into the sewer.
Mayor Drew said he did not believe
that the catch basins could be properly
located until the ground becomes more
settled, and he was opposed to putting
in any catch basins at present, other
than one near the residence of A NJ.
Baird, which it was conceded was bad
Iy needed.
City Attorney Bird also called atten-
ton to the fact that a suit is pending
in the district court over the North To-
peka sewer. which is likely to cost con-
siderable money, and part of the fund
ought to be reserved for that. The suit
is the one brought by Mrs. L. NJ. Thorn
as for larger damages for her property
than was allowed by the sewer APP
praisers.
Mr.. Belts then amended his resolution
to provide for the catch basin near the
residence of Mr.. Baird.

JOHN LENFESTY'S RISE.
Topeka Boy Now City Ticket Agent
of Frisco in Chicago.

John Lenfesty, a Topeka boy, is now
city passenger agent in Chicago for the
Frisco railroad.
Mr.. Lenfesty has experienced a re-
markable advancement in the short
time he has been in the railroad bust
ness. He started as an assistant in the
local Santa Fe ticket office in Topeka,
but soon resigned and accepted a minor
position in the Wabash ticket office at
Chicago. His ability was soon recog-
nized and he received several promo
lions in rapid succession.
Mr.. Lenfesty is now regarded by rail-
road officials as one of the best pas

WOODRUFF HAS HOPES.
New Yorker Expects to Be Elected to
the Vice Presidency.

New York. March 6.-Timothy L.
Woodruff said at the conclusion of an
interview with President Mckinley:
Il expect to be nominated and elected
vice president of the United States"
r. H. Hoyt, a bosom friend of the
president, said:
Timothy L. Woodruff is not too
young nor too little known to be vice
president of the United States. This is
an age when young men should be put
to the front. New York should name
the vice presidential candidate and
Woodruff would make magnificent
running mate for President Mckinley
Thomas c.. Platt said: 'Of course, l
am friendly to Woodruff. now think
the denomination of Roosevelt for gov
ernor a foregone conclusion. But con-
tingencies may arise to change plans
carefully arranged"
Mark Hanna said: yes, I have
thought Woodruff too young and too
little known to run for vice president.
But the vice president is to be named
by the Republican national convention
and not by any Individual"

JUMPER TO RETIRE.
Report That Populist Leader Has
Given Up Politics.

Horace Greeley Jumper, who was so
long a conspicuous figure in the Popu-
list state senate and later in a similar
position on the state board of charities
has probably served the people as
public servant for the last time. It
is reported that Jumper has decided to
retire from politics and that he will
make no further effort to obtain office
Jumper defeated H. B. Miller of Usage
City for senator four years ago, the Re
publican candidate making a strong
fight against overwhelming odds in the
county. Mr.. Miller's candidacy was of
such a character that a denomination
is conceded to him and he will make
his fight over again.
