Condition Of the Alliance Ex
change.


In The Cotton Plant, the or
gan of the State Alliance, of
last Friday there appears a
signed article from Col. D. P.
Duncan in regard to the affairs
of the State Alliance Exchange,
which makes interesting read
ing in view of the approaching
meeting of the State Alliance.
1t contains information of which
no part has heretofore been
made known. The bank re-
ferred to in the article has since
the time referred to been thor
oughly reorganized, has doubled
it's capital stock and is now do
ing fiourishing business, re-
fecting credit upon the present
efficient management. So far
as this bank is concerned the
facts related are now ancient
history.

"We have been requested so
often to make a full statement
Of the inside working of the
business methods and expert
ences of the State Exchange
that we feel it is our duty to do
so, and that the whole matter
be fully discussed before the
county trustee stockholders at
the July meeting of the State
Alliance.
"When the directors of the
State Exchange decided in 1892
to remove the headquarters of
the exchange from Greenville,
S. c., to Columbia the business
Of the organization had SO de-
clined until in 1893 our receipts
barely paid the salary of the
clerk and the directors ex-
penses, and the manager re-
ceived no salary whatever from
the exchange. From 1898 to
1896 the brokerage and interest
from the exchange funds paid
all expenses, and a small bal
ance in the hands Of our treas
urcr.
"Our bank, az we call it, un-
der the management of DR.. w.
I. G. Bates, president, and Mr..
Watkins, cashier, made some
terrible business losses. We
lost in one cotton season over
$l3, 900 by one cotton firm,
was nealy one-half of our
capital stock. The experience
of the Loan and Exchange bank
in the courts over a similar loss
about the same time decided us
not to make our misfortunes
known to the public, but for us
to go to work and recOvor the
losses. The directors of the
bank decided not to declare any
dividend, but to use our earn
lngs to replace this loss, which
was satisfactory to all stock
holders, with the exception of |
the matter of the operation of |
the State Exchange. We were
dependent on the interest from |
his fund to carry on the work.

PROVE ALL THINGS.
This Old, Old Command Is Easy
to Fu1fil1 IN Topeka.

To win a wager, an English Marquis
stood on London Bridge and offered for
an hour British sovereigns ($5) for five
shillings ($1.25). He could not find a
customer. There are several good rea-
sons why the ordinary mortal could not
be induced to buy, but no reason can be
given why Topeka people will not ac-
cept the following convincing proof
about Doan's Kidney Pills. Read this:
Mr.. V. c. Hay, No. 81 Locust St,
says: I'm August, 1898, I was taken
sick and was unable to work all winter.
My sickness left me with kidney trou-
BILE and the pain in my back was some
thing awful. 1 could not sit or recline
without the aching becoming unbeara-
BILE. The secretions from the kidneys
were discolored and offensive. 1 was in
bed when 1 learned of Doan's Kidney
Pills, and 1 sent to Rowley & Snow $
drug store, corner Sixth St. and Kansas
Ave. and got a box The third dose
gave me relief and in a short time
was able to get up. The treatment rid
me of the pain, the kidney secretions
were corrected and my general health
greatly improved"

CALL FOR HELP.
Gen. Young Asks Otis For Re-
Inducements.

Manila, March 9.-Generals Young
ments, and a battalion of the Forty
eighth regiment has been sent to Aparri.
Other troops will follow. The rebels
recently persistently attacked Aparri
for several hours, but were finally
driven away. Details of the affair are
lacking.
The rebels are holding reunions in
the province of North Ilocos, and the
sistance, is again appearing among the
natives.
1t is believed that the insurgent gem
erals Tinio and Flores have been driven
by General Young into General Hoods
territory, south of Aparri.
The fact that General Young is un-
able owing to lack of troops to main
tain garrisons in all the towns occupied
has had a bad effect on the natives.
General Bates has returned here after
leaving garrisons in the provinces of
North and South Camarines. The ex-
pedition lost seven men killed and ten
wounded. On entering New Caceres
province Of South Camarines, General
Bates learned that two thousand in
surgents- had departed the same day.
The Americans Immediately sent out
three pursuing columns, encountering
the enemy in three small engagements,
and killing total of 40 men.
The Spanish prisoners report that the
enemy has divided into small bands in
the mountains under the leadership of
Gen. Legaspi. The town of Iriga has
been burned by the enemy. Both
provinces We're thoroughly secuted. The
inhabitants of the district of Libmanan,
including Abella, the provincial COVER
nor, and other officials, are returning to
! their homes. Abella has issued a
/ proclamation calling upon the natives
| to submit to the Americans.
The liberated priests from New
| Caceres report that the insurgents kill
| ed 6S Cinnamon and 40 Spaniards at the
/ town of Calabanga
1t is estimated that there are a hun
| dred thousand bales of hemp in the
Camarines provinces.
Twelve hundred well armed inSur-
gents, formerly of Cavite province with
| a Chinese general in command, sur
round the towns of the Albay and
| Legaspi. They have effected three
night attacks and continually harass
| the Forty seventh regiment, which has
/ lost eight men killed and 20 wounded
in defending those towns.

COMING DRAMATIC EVENTS

Fifty people and an operatic orches-
ira of noted soloistS appear in the
musical first part of William H. West s
Big Minstrel Jubilee which is to be the
attraction at the Crawford theater to-
night. In addition to these there are
a score Of speciality artists, the very
cream of vaudeville celebrities. There is
a car load of scenery and spectacular
effects, and, taken together. the ag-
gregation appears to have set a pace
that few, If any, are able to follow.
The childish innocence on the part
of little Editha after awakening from
her blissful slumbers to find a burglar
in her very presence and her conduct
toward the unwelcomed intruder, never
fails to arouse the keenest kind of ad-
niration. In the coolest, most self
collected manner she confrontS the
burglar and through her perfect indif-
ference as to danger wins him over to
her completely. All this occurs in The
Burglar" a play that has now won its
way into popular favor on account of
its really pretty sentiment. 1t is from
the pen of Augustus Thomas and will
be seen at the Crawford theater Sat
urday afternoon and evening.
The Clara Mathes Stock company will
open an engagement of three nights at
popular prices at the Crawford theater
Monday Shadows of a Great City,
will be the BILL and ladies will be ad-
mitted free.

YET TIME TO REMEDY A BLUM
DER.

IF'rom the Cincinnati Commercial Tri-
bune.
There is yet time for the senate to
correct the mistake made by the house
in the passage of the Porto Rican tariff
bill. The senate failing, there is re-
served to the president the high privi-
lege of placing his veto upon a measure
passed in face of his most positive rec
ommendation to the contrary. His
message outlined a policy Of open ports
between the United States and her new
ward. Mr.. Payne's word is out for it
that the president will sign the bill, his
recommendation for the benefit of
Porto Rico to the contrary notwith-
standing. But that does not bind the
president. It is to be hoped that it was
made without authority and will not
be borne out by events
1t Is inconceivable that congress
should so run counter to expressed pub
lie opinion, and of evident equity. as
specifically outlined by the president in
open message, as it has in this matter
OF Porto Rican trade. Independent of
party restrictions or sectional divisions
popular opinion opposed the passage of
the bill Popular opinion is still oppos-
ed TO the measure. and viii so remain
to the end. This state of case is in no
manner relieved by the subsequent pas
sage through the house of a Porto
Hlcan relief measure, at the presidents
suggestion, by which the amount of the
tariff already collected is turned back
into Porto RicO's public revenues. There
IS more than the question of philan-
trophy involved, there is principle.

Public Ledger of this week there is re-

TO ADVERTISERS.

For the past three or four weeks the
demand upon the news and advertising
columns of the Saturday issue has
been so heavy that from four to eight
columns have been unavoidably crowd
ed out every Saturday. Tomorrow the
State Journal will issue sixteen pages
and hopes to find room for all the news
and all the advertising offered. Owing
to current interest in the daily news
papers of Topeka and the large extra
outside circulation of both, the demand
on the State Journals advertising
columns for next week is very heavy,
about four pages of advertising being
already reserved. The rates for adver-
tising next week will be the same as
usual, but advertisers are requested to
furnish us copy two days in advance,
if possible, and one day in advance GER
tainly. The State Journal will make
every effort to please its advertisers
next week, as always, but we can not
do the impossible. Advertisers who are
late can necessarily not be given the
attention or the care of the advertiser
who has furnished his copy in season.
The demands for space have already
made it necessary for the State Journal
to decide to print at least two sixteen
page issues next week, Wednesday and
Saturday.

DISGUST AND REGRET
Expressed Against a Correspondent
by Havana Council

Havana, March AT a meeting of
the municipal council today portion
of the article written by James D. Run
Gle, for an American publication on
misgovernment in Cuba was read and it
was proposed that the municipality re-
quest that Mr. Runcie be not permitted
to continue as a member of the law
commission here. Objection was made
to this step however, it being pointed
out that when a much higher official
than Mr.. Runcie had made far graver
charges against the Cubans. the muni-
cipality had not taken any action
Other councilmen said that this un-
doubtedly referred to Gen.Ludlow, gov
ernor of the department of Havana, in
whose case, however, it was said there
were only newspaper reports to go by,
without any signature attached to
them. Besides, it was asserted many
of the things Gen. Ludlow had said
against the Cubans were true.
1t was finally agreed to send an ad-
dress to Governor General Wood saying
that the municipality regards Mr.. Run
cie's article with profound disgust and
regret,
