Opportunity.


For the Leader
oThere is tide ia the affairs OF
men, which. taken at the hood, leads
on TO fortune, Shakespeare.
Time was when this adage was as
good as gold; when men sought fame
and turned the tide Of unpopularity
into the food OF fame. Love, beaming
from the eye and aushiug the soft
cheeks Of womhnhood, served as fooe
TO mantle the throne OF opportunity.
Fortune smiled on those who sought
the opportunity to live and love in
happiness and plenty. But in all
changing times, Time changes oppor-
tunitv. and Golden Opportunity is bet
ter read~-opportunity Of gold,
Gold stands upon the highest pima
Gle OF fame and marks the needy aspi-
rant.
Gold masquerades beneath the blush
OF virtue and sits upon the throne Of
love.
Gold turns the tide of modest for
tunes into damnable adversities and
watches with cruel eyes the wave that
bears our highest hopes dash out
against It's closed fioodgates. And op-
portunity, by John j. ingalls,, is bet
ter read;
Master OF Human Destinies am l.
Fame, love and fortune on my foot
steps wait;
Cities and feld walk; I penetrate
Deserts and seas, and pass them by
hovel and mast lest / be late
To knock for readmission at the rich
mans gate.
II sleeping, sleep; II feesting, feast
yet more,
For stay may, 1t is the hour Of
trusts
And they who follow me safe every
lust
Such souls desire; and conquer ev-
cry foe
Save Death. But those who doubt
or hesitate
Condemned 10 failure, penury and
woe.
Seek me in vain and uselessly i'm
plore,
/ answer not, and discern no more"

THE WHITE PAPER TRUST.

Ltrom the Seattle Times.
That our patrons may knew what the
white paper trust Is trying to do with
the newspapers Of the United States. it
will only be necessary to say that the
daily newspapers published in Seattle
and Tacoma, and whose annual con-
tracts are just expiring, have been no
titled by the Pacific Coase Paper Man
ufacturing company that an advance of
about 60 per cent will be demanded on
the 18th day of April.
If the Times and Post-Intelligencer
were to follow suit it would be neces-
sary to increase the price Of the Times
to 80 cents a month, ami the Post-In-
telligencer the price Of its seven-day is
sues to one dollar and twenty cents
instead of the present rl11ce of so cents
for six issues Of the Times. and IS cents
for seven issues Of the Post-Intelligen-
GER
To show the absurditN Of such a prop
ositiOn. we have only Is remark that it
doesn't cost the paper manufacturing
company at Oregon Ct1y, where these
papers now purchase tkair white mater
ial. 8 per cent more t. produce paper
than it did one year as.o. and yet they
advance the price nearly SO per cent.

Brockton Times: The frequent an
nouncement Of bank embeZzlenents
and the downfall from the pedestal of
confidence of a trusted teller or cashier
shows on the face of it the bungling
work Of directors in not exercising a
closed guardianship over the funds of
the institution of which they are Off
GERS and an unwise inclination to trust
everything to the one or two individuals
who have the direct handling IF the
funds. The case reported from Rutland,
VT. where a cashier is found to have
squandered an amount equal to half as
much again as the benk's entire capital
is but one Of many instances of SINH
lar character. There is too much Of a
disposition on the part Of bank directors
to take everything for granted and ac-
cept the statements of the cashier with
out other evidence. Even when exarni-
nations are made the work is done in
such an Indifferent and perfunctory
manner as to be Va1ueless. No honest
bank cashier will ever feel the slightest
fear that a careful examination of the
institutions condition at proper inter-
walls implies any lack Of confidence in
his honor or ability. He WI realize
that the directors have a duty to depos-
itors and stockholders that they cannot
properly shift to other shoulc ers. and if
these directors do their whore duty the
chances of any serious loss Is reduced
to a minimum.

Ponds on too many variant factors for
accurate prophecy. As near an esti-

TO Go EAST.
Miss Viola Horlocker, Acquitted of At
tempted Poisoning, Talks
of Her Plans.

Hastings, Neb., April 2.-Afiss Viola
Horlocker. acquitted OF attempting to
poison Mrs. c. E. Morey. left Saturday
sister. Mrs. Cheevers. In an interview
Miss Horlocker said:
"As yet there is nothing definitely set
tied, but within the next week I am go
ing to a sanitarium at Jacksonville ILL.,,
or perhaps to some other similar inStitu-
ton, for the purpose of recuperating, and
that l may have my health restored. 1
am in a bad physical condition, as 1 have
been under severe nervous strain for
eighteen months, and my general health
has suffered in consequence.
Il will remain at the sanitarium and re-
ceive treatment until I have completely
regained my health, but l hope by seclu-
sion from the public and close attention
to my health to so far recover as to re-
sumo my ordinary vocation"
Miss Horlocker said that after leaving
the sanitarium she would probably go to
New York to join her mother and sisters,
where they will reside. She will devote
her time to music

INDIA MASS MEETING.
Mr.. SheldOn's Plan to BE Dis
cussed Thursday Evening.

A mass meeting of the members of all
churches in Topeka will be held at the
First Methodist church Thursday night
in the interest OF Rev. Charles NJ. Shell
don's movement to send a million bush
els of corn from Kansas to India. Gov
ernor Stanley will preside at the meet
ing.
At the meeting Of the Ministerial
union this morning Mr.. Sheldon brought
up the question of a mass meeting, and
asked the ministers of the city TO CO.
operate with him. A committee. con-
sisting of Mr.. Sheldon, Rev. D. NJ. Fisk
and Dean Sykes, was named to arrange
for the meeting.
Governor Stanley told me he would
take up this matter provided the min
iste1s of Topeka lined up with him,
said Mr.. Sheldon. He expressed the
belief that the cooperation of the
churches over the state would be nee
essary to make the movement a, sue
cess and suggested that the churches of
Topeka start 1t. We will need money
as well as corn. ard I believe Governor
Stanley is the best money raiser in the
state.
"A great many people fail to realize
what this project means" continued
Mr.. Sheldon. 1T will not only relieve
starvation in India, but it will be the
greatest leverage under heathendom
the world has ever known. The Hindu
women are now bringing their children
to the Christian missionary stations in
India and returning to their homes to
die A million bushels of corn may
mean a million souls to the Christian
faith"
Mr. Sheldon said he had assurances
| from several railroads that the trans
portation Of the corn could be arranged
for practically free He suggested the
possibility of securing a transport from
| the national government for the ship
| ment of the corn to India.

From the Chicago NeWs.l
By and by is the path that leads to
never.
One mans faults may be another
mans virtues.
Many an idle rumor has been worked
beyond the limit.
A dog in his dotage is preferable to
one in the sausage
Love speaks through the eyes; the lips
are otherwise engaged
Live eagles are as hard to catch as
thc%e on our silver dollars.
All the worlds a stage, and the ma
jority of the actors are transformers.
The hour of anticipation is often more
pleasing than the instant of realiza-
ton.
Even a fool gets credit for wisdom he
doesn't possess when he appreciates the
bright things you say.
An egotist is a person who thinks it
a waste of time to listen to what others
have to say of themselves.
Many a man while awaiting an OPP
portunity to pose as a hero makes his
wife get up every morning and light
the fire.
About the time the friends of a mod
est, unassuming girl begin to think she
is cut out for an old maid, she fools
them by getting married.

REACHED THE SOUTH POLE
Exploring Steamer Southern Cross
Returns With Survivors.

Wellington, New Zealand, April q
The exploring steamer Southern Cross,
bearing Mr.. C. E. Borchgrevink and the
survivors of the south polar expedition,
fitted out in 1898 by Sir George Newnes,
of London, arrived here today.
Mr. Borchgrevink reports that the
magnetic pole has been located. Mr..
n. Hansen. one of the biologists who
started with the expedition, died on the
voyage.
The Borchgrevfnk expedition left FIo-
bart, Tasmania, for the Antarctic region
on December 10, 1898. During the latter
part of February, 1899, the members
landed from the Southern Cross near
Cape Adair Victorialand, it having
been arranged that the steamer should
leave them there with full equipment of
every kind and should re. 1rn for them
early in 1900. Mr. Borchgrevink's party
consisted of nine, including himself.
Lieutenant w. Colbeck, r. N. r., was
selected as first magnetic observer, to
be assisted by Mr.. Louis Bernacchi
Mr. N. Hansen and Mr.. Hugh Evans
were chosen as biologists, and DR.. H.
KlOevstad as medical officer. Mr..
Foughnai was general utility man and
cook. With these went two natives of
Finland to look after ninety dogs.
Enormous supplies of provisions We're
laid in.

TOPEKA ICE TRUST.
This Is a Good One That Prom
ises Not to Raise Prices.

A new ice trust has it's grip on To-
peka. A concern called the Peoples Ice
company has contracted for all the pro-
duct of the Topeka plants and all ice
sold in Topeka this season must pass
through the hands of this new company.
The manager of the combination is W.
F. Hebb, well known young man who
has been conducting a seed store be-
tween Fourth and Fifth streets.
Manager Hebb says that the new
company does not propose to raise the
price of ice and that a uniform scale
will be maintained. He says, however,
that no favars will be shown consumers
of large quantities who have been re-
ceiving an inside" price. The family
rate will continue to be $1-50 per month
for ten pounds per day. Manager Hebb
was unable to say what the other rates
will De.
The president of the new company is
w. c. Robinson but he does not live IN
Topeka and the local manager does not
remember his address but says it is in
some town in western Illinois. He says
that there are no Topeka men in the
new company and that it controls the
output in five or six towns, Topeka be-
ing the only one in Kansas. Mr. Hebb
says that he has nothing to do with
any town but Topeka and consequently
does not know the names of the other
places in which the company has con-
troll.
The Topeka plants which have sold
their product to the new company are:
Moesers'.
Charles Wolff
Crystal Ice Co.
Williams & Dickey
This includes all the plants in Topeka
and as there is little or no natural ice
this year the new concern will abso-
lutely control the product in Topeka
Mr.. Hebb says that the total capacity
of the Topeka. ice plant is from 80 to SO
tons per day.
The new company will have six or
seven wagons in service and will do a
wholesale as well as retail business. The
peddlers of ice will be supplied through
the new concern only.
VIM. Moeser was asked about the new
company and said that all he knows
about it is that his company has sold
the product to the new concern.
The new order Of things went into
| effect Sunday.

HEART DISEASE
Some Facts Regarding the Rapid In
crease Of Heart Trouble.

Heart trouble. at least among fha
Americans, is certainly increasing. and
while this may be largely due to the ex-
citement and worry Of American BUSH
ness life, it Is more often the result Of
weak stomachs, Of poor digestion.
Real organic disease is incurable; but
not one case in a hundred Of heart
trouble is organic
The close relation between heart
trouble and poor digestion is because
both organs are controlled by the same
great nerves. the sympathetic and the
pneumoga
In another way also the heart is
affected by the form of poor digestion.
from half digested food. There is a
feeling of oppression and heaviness IN
the chest caused by pressure of the dis
tended stomach on the heart and lungs
interfering with their action; hence
arises palpitation and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood
making It thin and watery, which irri-
tates and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
trouble is to improve the digestion and
TO insure the prompt assimilation CT
food.
This can be done by the regular use
after meals of some safe, pleasant and
effective digestive preparation, like
be found at drug stores, and which con-
tain valuable. harmless digestive ele-
ments in a pleasant, convenient form.
It is safe to say that the regular. per-
sistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's at meal time will cure any form Of
stomach trouble except cancer Of the
stomach.

ANOTHER IS GONE.
Concluded FROM Sixth Page.)

When Topeka first felt the breath of
the great boom which scattered pros
perity broadcast for a limited time, Mr..
Bartholomew was the first to realize
its possibilities. He started to secure
land adjoining the city as it existed at
that time, and in a short time had ac-
quired several hundred acres. The first
addition to be plated was the Williams
& Dillon The second was the StjllsOn
& Bartholomew, which is now Lowman
Hill.
The name of the addition was
changed on the establishment of the
Lowman Hill chapel by Mr.. BarthoIo-
NEW. The present church was built by
him at his own expense, and named
"Lowman" Hill chapel in memory of
Mrs. Bartholomew father, Rev. G. A.
Lowman.
The beautiful suburb of Potwin,
which is now a part of the Sixth ward
of the city, was the work of Mr.. Bar
tholomew. It was his idea to locate
parks at the intersection of streets, and
plant trees by hundreds. AS a result
Potwin is now the most beautiful of the
outlying residence portions.
Mr. Bartholomew was instrumental in
regulating Oakland and the several small
additions in that vicinity. When the
boom" was at its height, he was one of
the wealthiest residents of Topeka With
many others, however, he suffered from
tine reaction Following the wave of pros
perity.
Mr.. bartholomew was the kind of a
man who makes city better by living
in it.. He was at all times ready to iden-
tify himself with any work looking to
the betterment of Topeka. AS Colonel
Holiday was the founder of Topeka, he
might largely be credited as its builder.
The funeral services will be held at the
First Methodist Episcopal church Tues
day afternoon at o. clock, Rev. J. T. Nc
Farland, to whom Mr. Bartholomew was
greatly attached, officiating. The casket
will be opened at the church. to give his
many friends the opportunity of a last
view
The burial will be private, only the
members OF the family accompanying the
body to the cemetery. The casket will be
placed in a vault for the present it be-
ing the intention of Mrs. Bartholomew to
later remove the body to the family bury
ing ground at Wellsvil1e, Ohio.
The pail bearers will be chosen this af-
ternoon. There will be six active pail
bearers and six to serve in an honorary
capacity.

Pittsburg. Pa, April From 1900
to $4,000 coal miners in the Pittsburg
