PIMPLEs AND BoILs.
Are Caused by scrofulous Condition
of the Blood.

While not alarming in themselves
these eruptions of the skin are very an
noying to persons of a sensitive nature,
and show decidedly by their telltale APP
pearance an evil condition of the blood.
Scrofula in anW of its forms is as old
as antiquity. 1t has infested the blood
of humanity for ages, making it's ap-
pearance in swollen glands, boils, pirn-
pies, eruptions of the skin and scrofu-
lous sores.
These diseases are constitutional and
should be met by constitutional rene
dies of known merit and effectiveness
In Hyde's Bi Sulpho Tablets we have
a new and up-to-date remedy, which is
certainly the safest if not the best pre-
paration sold today for the cure of
these blood disorders.
Unlike sarSaparillaS and liquid blood
purifiers no secret is made of the in
gradients in Hyde's Bi-Sulpho Tablets;
they are composed of sulphur, bi-tar-
trate of potassia and other harmless
are very pleasing to the taste.
John McWilliams of us East I'd street,
Kansas City, writes:
IT am glad to recommend to my
friends your Bi-Sulpho Tablets. Have
been troubled with a serious blood and
skin disorder for months which has
been entirely cured by the use of your

TEN HORSES BURNED.
Racing Stable Of D. W. Kent Is De-
stroyed.

The sheep barn at the fair grounds.
used by D. w. Kent as a training
stable, was completely destroyed by
fire Sunday morning about two o'clock
and 10 horses and several buggies and
sulkies were burned.
The origin of the fire is not known.
The barn was enveloped in flames when
the alarm-was turned in at 2:15 and
when the firemen reached there the
structure was past saving had there
been water to use. Among the horses
burned were Miss Emily and P. D. Q.
The building was owned by the county
and was valued at So, 900. The loss
to Mr.. Kent is estimated at $1,000. Both
the building and it's contents were
covered by insurance. This is the
sixth serious fire at the fair grounds.
At five o'clock Saturday afternoon
the department received a call from
the National hotel. The chemical en-
CINE responded. Fire was found be-
tween the joist of the third floor and
was started by a defective fue. It
was put out with but little loss
At $50 the department was called
to 1921 Harrison street. A bed tick had
been left too close to a stove and had
caught fire. The building was filled
with smoke. but the fire was extin-
guished with but little loss.

MENACING ASSURANCE.

from New Orleans Ttmes-Democratl
I had a peculiar case in court the other

named Callahan had got into a row with
his landlord about some repairs and re-

fussy little ex-col1ege professor. totally
IMMERSED in the ways of the world and he
was imprudent enough to send word that
he would have the family evicted and
then called to discuss it personally. He
emerged yelling .Murderi' and said that
he had first met Mrs. Callahan who told
him her husband would do him no harm,
upon the strength of which he had waited
for his return. When Callahan came in
he promptly gave the visitor a beating.
The old Irishman and his wife were both
arrested and 1 appeared for the defence.
The ugly feature of the case was the al
legged effort of the woman to lure her
caller into a trap, but when put on the
stand she denied the landlords story in
toto, and swore point blank she had warm
ed him that her husband proposed to
punch his head. Both parties seemed per-
fectly sincere in their statements, and I
was somewhat puzzled.

MIDNIGHT SERVICES.
Many WOrshippers Attend Solemn
High Mass at Opening of
New Year

Solemn high midnight mass opened
the New Year aud the Holy Year Of the
Roman Catholic church at the Church
of the Assumption in this city last
night.
The affection shown by the tempera-
ture for the zero mark and the Iateness
of the hour had no effect on the attend
ante at the service. By the time the
big bell announced the half hour before
all the seating space in the church was
occupied, and before the celebrant and
the assisting priests made their ap-
pearance before the high altar scores of
people were standing in the aisleS and
in the rear of the church. It was the
first midnight mass to be celebrated in
Topeka at the opening Of new year.
and hundreds of PrOtestants were there
as we'll as hundreds of those of the
Catholic faith.
Very Rev. Dean Hayden acted as Gel
ebrant of the mass, Rev. Father Harri-
gan, deacon, and Rev. Father DAILY of
st. Marys, sUb-deaeon. Solemn high
mass is probably the most impressive
ceremony of the Roman Catholic
church, and the hour and the occasion
it marked seemed to make that of last
night more impressive still. For over
an hour the chanting of the priests and
the music of the mass resOunded
through the church, while the hundreds
of Worshippers changed their pOsture5

The high altar in the center of the
church was a mass of varied colored
electric lights and Pickering candle
flames. In unison with the altar arch,
Gloria in Excelsios Deo' shone out in
letters of brilliant incandescent globes,
the arrangement having been allowed
to remain since the Christmas services.
The side affairs were also agloW With
lights, and in the space to the right a
representation of the crib at Bethlehem,
which like the inscription was prepared
for the Christmas masses, was to be
seen. Flowers and palms held place be-
tween the lights on each of the three al
tars- 5
A short sermon was preached by Rev.
Father Harrigan, assistant pastor of
the church. He spoke of the fact that
the keeping of New Years resolutions
had come to be matter of jest, and ex-
horted his hearers to make it a matter
Of fact instead.
At the close of the mass there was
Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament
This concluded the midnight service
which will not be repeated until mid
night of the last day of the present
year. After that, unless some extraor-
binary circumstance takes place. mid
night mass will not be celebrated New
Years until of the next Holy Year, 81
years hence.

MEASURING EARTHQUAKES
IFrom the London Globe.]

Twenty-three stations are now fitted
for ascertaining and measuring the
trembling of the earth; but it is desir-
able, according to Engineering" that
a central chronological laboratory
should be established, at which earth
movements could be recorded and an
alyZed in relation to the corresponding
registers received from abroad. Profess
SOr Mines own station at Sh1de, Isle OF
Wight, is still located in some dark and
damp stables, which have ruined some
photographs and are responsible for
other mischief. In spite of these diff
cultieS, Professor Milne has recorded
during the past year 103 earthquakes.
Over 70 per cent of these records are
repeated in the registers Of Kew; from
So to IS per cent are common to Nico-
laiev, Potsdam and Trieste; and Sc per
cent to Victoria in British Columbia
From the time at which these disturb
ances reach the various ObservatOries
it has been possible to locate the CEN
terS from which they have originated.
In many instances these were shown to
be sub-oceanic; and while they give
evidence of geological activity in ocean
beds they promise to indicate localitieS
which it would be unwise to cross with
cables. A curious feature exhibited in
a collection of results of the same
earthquake is that the large waves may
be less in amplitude at a station near
their origin than they are at stations
more remote.
An earthquake, originating in Japan,
crossing beneath the Pacific to Victoria,
3. c.. may yield a smaller diagram at
that place than the one obtained at
double the distance in the Isle of Wight.
In this latter case the large waves
swept over the free surfaces of two
continents The inference is that oceans
exert a dampening influence upon in
dulatiOns of their beds. Mr.. Milne, re-
referring to earthquake echoes, says
that as an earthquake dies it does so
by a rhythmical succession of similar
movements, which are more suggestive
of surgings following reflections than
of a spasmodic settlement Of disjointed
strata. The first of these surgings often
! appears about five minutes after the
chief shock, and this, but on a contin-
ually decreasing scale, may be repeated
many times before the earthquake has
| ceased. Mr.. Symons states that earth
quakes get a character impressed upon
them, so that we have something like
a postmark. Thus last year Mr. Milne
| correctly predicted that an earthquake
report wired from Japan was wrong
| by twenty-fOur hours. The colonial and
the war offices have met the committee
| of the British association, and different
| types Of instruments will be compared
| in the new central station.

WOLFSOHN MYSTERY.

Whom Insurance Was Written.

Los Angeles, Cal. Jan. 1.-The Wolf
sohn mystery has been partially clear
ed up by the arrival from Chicago of
Aaron Wolfsohn. He has beer identified
by S. A. D. Jones, the local agent of the
New York Life Insurance company, as
the man he insured for SO 600, notwith-
standing Jones' previous positive decla-
suicide in a lodging house in this city
several weeks ago was Wolfsohn, whose
heirs were entitled to the amount of the
insurance policy which was paid over
to the public administrator of this coun-
ty. The identity of the suicide and the
object of his representation as Wolf
sohn will now be investigated.

BIG CATTLE CASE.
Clark County Ranchman Defendant
In a Suit.

A suit has been filed in the federal
court by the National bank of Califor-
mia, No, against J. w. Jones, a cattle
man of Clark county, Kansas, on a
transcript from the district court of Clark
county, where it was first brought. The
suit is to secure a judgment of 81, 500
against Jones, and also asks for the ap-
pointment of a receiver for between 500
and 500 cattle which Mr.. Jones has on his
Clark county ranch, and which are secur-
ity for the amount sued for.
Mr.. Jones, it is alleged, gave his note
to a Kansas City commission company
and a mortgage on the cattle, and the
commission company Immediately sold
the note to the bank. Now the bank
claims that the cattle are not being well
cared for, and it wants a receiver ap-
pointed to take charge of them.
The defense filed a motion in the fed
eral court to take the suit back to the
Clark county district court.

along the line, and it is confidently ex-
pected that radical and extensive
changes will be the result. With the
facts of the special report before them,
the General Assembly ought to remedy
any unjust conditions which may be
found to exist.
There is also an evident disposition
to at once take hold energetically Of
many matters suggested for reform by
both Governors Smith and Stickney,
and these of themselves will furnish
material for many an earnest and labor
ious days work.
Certainly there is work enough ahead

the Office of tax commissioner be con-

that the offices OF adjutant general and

further recommendations respecting
the militia, the hospital for the insane,
temperance, and particularly respect
ing constitutional amendments and the
time of holding the elections for Sta o
officers, will commend themselves to
the good judgment and sound sense of
the people OF Vermont. 1t will be
surprising indeed if Governor Stick

iects he enumerates are not observed,
and laws enacted to give them practi-
cal effect. These subjects are OF mo-
ment and will inevitably come up for
special consideration as the session
advances.
These two executive documents mark
the beginning of fundamental change
in State administration. They point
to the institution of reforms that must
commend themselves to the approval
OF the great majority of the people OF
the State and the effective sanction of
their representatives in the law making
