WILL HAVE A DOG SHOW.
Kansas City Kennel Club Will Give an
Exhibit March 14-17.

Kansas City, Feb. 19.-This city will
have a dog show again this year, and it
will probably be the most successful
ever held in this city. The local dog
fanciers, who made up the Kansas
City Kennel club, which gave two sue
cessful shows in 1897 and 1898, held a
meeting last week and completely re-
organized. new officers and new d.
rectors being elected.
After the election the matter of hold
ing a bench show this year was taken
under consideration. and it did not
take long to find out that the opinion
was unanimous in favor of holding it.
Further discussion led to an agreement
upon March IA to II, inclusive, as the
dates to be claimed, and Convention
hall as the place, to hold the show.
Secretary VredenbuIgh, of the Ameri-
can Kennel Club, was Immediately no
titled of this action, and the member
ship fees were sent on by letter He
has since ratified these dates, and has
thus admitted Kansas City into the
grand circuit along with New York.
Chicago and st. Louis Chtcago's
show closes on March II, and as the
local exhibit opens three days later
it is a certainty that most of the breed
ers and handlers, especially the west
ern ones, will come on here with their
strings.

SAMPSON DECLINES.
The Rear Admiral Will Not Accept
Presidency of an Eastern
Institute

Boston, Feb. 19-Rear Admiral William
T. Sampson has been offered and has de-
clined the presidency of the Massachu-
sets institute of technology The offer
was surprise. as it was thought that the
ques ton of successor to President James
NJ. Craft, who retired in June had been
laid aside to await the action of the trus-
tees
Admiral Sampson said:
Yes. it is true that I have been offered
the presidency of the institute and have
declined. An acceptance would mean my
leaving the service, with which I have
been so long identified and entering upon
a new life which 1 am probably less fitted
than for the one which now hold. While
I appreciate the honor conferred me,
and while as a matter of fact such q
change would mean an increase in salary,
at my time of life the change is not to
be thought Of"
Reports have connected with the presi-
dency of the institute the names of many
persons prominent in public life. among
whom are Secretary of the Navy John
d. Long. former Governor Wolcott, Presi-
dent Seth Low of Columbia university,
and several others.

MAY FIGHT M'eovERN.
Steve Flanagan Says He is the Ban
tam Champion.

Philadelphia, Feb. 19.-Steve F1ana-
gen wants to fight Terry McGovern.
The clever little fighter, of whom all
Philadelphia lovers of the fistic art are
justly proud, thinks he has a good
chance with Terrible Terry in a short
contest Flanagan in fighting condition
weighs but 105 pounds, but in the past
two years has met and vanquished
men who outweighed him from ten to
twenty pounds. Flanagan has met and
defeated men who have given McGov-
ern good contests, and Steve thinks he
can stand off Dixon's conQueror in a
six-round contest.
Il am the real bantam weight cham
pion,' says Flanagan. "McGovern can
not weigh in in that class, and his claim
to the bantam weight championship has
no standing with the sporting public.
1 will take him on, however, at his
own weight, in a six-round bout. ]
boxed with him when he showed in this
city some weeks ago. and every one
who witnessed the bout will bear me
out when I say that Terry could not
hit me with any effect.
Il feel sure I can evade his rushes
and meet him with good left-hand
smashes, and L am willing to try II
any promoter will make it financially
interesting I will gladly meet Terry,
and will go on with the understanding
that do not get a cent if I am not on
my feet at the end of the bout"

GOLD STANDARD BILL.
Slight Differences in House and SEN
ate Bills to Be Compromised.

New York, Feb. ia special dis
patch to the Times from Washington
says:
1T is probable that the senate con-
ferees on the currency bill, Messrs Aid
rich (Rep-, r. II, Allison (Rep., Iowa.,
and Jones (Dem., Ark will contend
strongly for everything that is regarded
essential in the senate bill. The efforts
of the house conferees. Representative
Overstreet (Rep., Ind.), Brosius (Rep.,
Pa-) and Co (Dem., TENN will be to Sc
cure, if possible, some of the features
of the house measure that are regarded
by them as better than parts of the
senate bill. A compromise is certain,
but members of both committees agree
tha principles sought to be embodied in
the law will be asserted whatever hap
pens
I'VE shall hold our first meeting Sat-
urday," said Mr.. Overstreet. 1.-THE first
see wherein the senate and the house
are in agreement. Generally speaking,
the aim in both bills is the same. But
there is difference in phraSeOlOgy, and
from what 1 have read of comment
upon the house bill, there is a very
widespread preference for the bill of
the house, in which preference share.
Both are for the gold standard. The
house bill defines the standard and
takes several paragraphs to reach what
the senate asserts in one paragraph.
Before passing their bill the senate
adopted an amendment by Which they
but changed it so as to provide for
banks in towns of 1000 inhabitants in
stead of banks in towns of 1000 inhab-
itants, as in the house bill That ac-
cepts the suggestion that banking ia
cilities should be provided for a larger
number of towns. The acceptance of
the idea will make the work of the con-
ferees easier.
1.-THE senate has not accepted the
house idea looking to the establishment
of bureau of issue and redemption in
the treasury and it has Incorporated
a provision for refunding the loans at
a lower rate of interest. The house
conference considers that matters and
decided that it would not make it part
of it's bill. We shall make an effort to
get rid of it, and there is support for
that contention in and out of the house.
OF course, If there is a necessity for
permitting the refunding of the loans,
the house confereeS will not unreaSon-
ably oppose it. But it is plain that the
necessity has not been supported by the
press.
Il do not expect that the conferences
will be prolonged or that the bill will
be long delayed. The house and the
country are ready for the legislation.
A conference is always a place in which
the game of give and take is looked for.
| We hope to finish our work with a good
bill as the result of our consultations -

WHY SAGE QUIT.
Chicago Grain Elevator Was Not
Paying Concern.

New York, Feb. 19.-The Times today
publishes the following:
Russell Sage announced yesterday
that the Chicago Elevator company, of
which he is the president, was going
out of business. 1t is capitalized at
$500. 900 and has been in the field for
Fifteen years owning two grain ele-
vators in Chicago. The directors have
voted to go into liquidation and wind
up the affairs of the company. Mr..
Sage has held the office of president for
several years.
1.-The reason we are going out of BUSH
ness is because we have not been get
ting any business to do for some time"
he said. THE company paid well at
first, but in recent years there has been
a competitor and our concern has not
done much. Then we have been injured
by the actions of some spectators in
grain who preferred their own private
concerns to the welfare Of the com
pany.'
Were there spectators in your con-
GERM" he was asked.
Some of the men were in our COM
pany," said he, land they acted in con-
junction with outside spectators They
used the elevators for their "rain with
out paying the proper charges. I wont
tell what their names are. I don't want
to discuss it"

MONUMENT FOR JONES.
To Be Erected in Paris-Remains of
Naval Hero Not to Be Disturbed.

New York, Feb 19.-The proposition
to exhume the bones of Commodore
John Paul Jones and bring them to this
country for burial must probably be
abandoned. The navy department at
Washington has received from Lieuten-
ant William S. Sims, naval attache to
the United States embassy in Paris,
letter on the subject. from which the
following extract is taken:
1t is the opinion of the ambassador
that the remains of John Paul Jones are
definitely located in the area clearly in
dtcated in NJ. De Ricaudy'S report, but
1t appears to be matter of conjecture
as to whether the actual remains of
John Paul Jones could be identified.
This would depend on whether or not
he was buried in such a manner that
his remains would be preserved and
particularly whether his coffin bore any
inscription, and whether he was buried
in a uniform or with sword or some
emblem of his former grade.
M De Ricaudy states in the report
above referred to that the information
given therein is taken from documents
existing in various archives and from
authentic plans of the city of Paris;
and that no statement has been made
that is not supported by documentary
proof that in each case can be produc-
ed if needed. In view of the reputation
of M De Ricaudy and his success in pre-
vious researches, particularly that in
locating the body of Turgot, it is safe
to conclude that the statements con-
tained in the report can, as he says,
be thoroughly authenticated
BY reason of the occupations of NJ
De Ricaudy, he has not been able up to
the present time to give me any further
details concerning this subject, but in
conversation with him he acknowledges
that, although he is absolutely convinc-
ed that the body of John Paul Jones
was buried in the area indicated and
mas never been removed, he still con-
siders it purely conjectural whether or
not it would be possible to identify the
remains, although he is reasonably sure
that he has established within a narrow
limit the site where the body was bur
led. 1t was by reason of this uncer-
tainty of Identification of the body
that M De Ricaudy suggested the ad-
visibility of acquiring a part or all of
the area formerly included in this GEM
etery, and after clearing it of the in
considerable structures which now COW
er it, to make it a small square and
erect thereon a suitable monument to
the naval hero"
An effort will be made to have con-
gress authorize the purchase of the pro-
perty in Paris and the erection of a
monument there.

BANK RECEIVERSHIP.
Effort Being Made to Make Them
Short and Less Expensive.

The state bank commissioner has deliv-
cred to the attorney general a list or
of receivers since the creation of the
banking law in 1898. The list includes 81
banks and so far as the bank commits
sioner has been informed, 50 of them are
still in the hands of receivers and 1t is
the purpose of Attorney General Gouard
to investigate the present condition OF the
receiverships and to require the receivers
to show cause why they. have not closed
up their trusts and distributed the assets
among the creditors.
Attorney General GODDARD is opposed to
the expense of long receiverships He be-
lieves that with industry and good bust
ness methods receiverships in this day of
prosperity and debt paying ought to be
tom of attorney generals heretofore to
neglect this important. duty to the deposit
tors of liquidating banks and in conse-
quence the receivers and their paid attor-
news have by long delay not only con-
sumed the assets largely. but have kept
and drawn the interest as their personal
perquisite.
with the creditors and gone out of liqui-
dalton are: The Banks of efreenSburg. the
Bank of Hutchinson: the Northrup Bank
ing Co., of Kansas City. the PaWnee
County bank of Larned, B. F. Harpster'a
bank at Severance, G. H. Sawyers bank
of Scottsville and the Leon Exchange
Of the Bank of Ness city. G. A. Borth-
wick, receiver. the bank commissioner in
his letter to the attorney general, makes
this interesting comment: This receiv-
ership is in a peculiar condition Mr..
Borthwick was the cashier and principal
owner of the bank. At the time the bank
was closed the assets would not have paid
% cents on the dollar but Mr. Borthwicl5
is engaged in the milling business and has
been doing a profitable business and has
applied every dollar of his earnings to
the settlement of these claims. The court
has permitted him to proceed in his own
manner and a result he is gradually
paying off the entire Indebtedness of the
bank, and. in. my judgment, will in time
settle every dollar of the Indebtedness"

VERY FEW PEOPLE.
Are Free From Some Form of Indiges-
ton.


Very few people are free from some
form of indigestion, but scarcely two
will have the same symptoms.
Some suffer most directly after eat
ing, bloating from gas in stomach and
bowels, others have heartburn or sour
risings. still others have paIpitation of
heart, headaches, sleeplessness, pains in
chest and under shoulder blades, some
have extreme nervousness as in ner-
vous dyspepsia
But whatever the symptoms may be,
the cause in all cases Of indigestion is
the same, that is, the stomach for some
reason fails to promptly and properly
ligest what is eaten.
This is the whole story of stomach
troubles in a nutshell. The stomach
must have rest and assistance and
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets give it both
by supplying those natural digestives
which every weak stomach lacks, owing
to the failure of the peptic glands in
the stomach to secrete sufficient acid
and pepsin to thoroughly digest and as
simulate the food eaten.
One grain of the active principle in
| Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
5000 grains of meat, eggs or other
wholesome food, and this claim has
been proven by actual experiment which
anyone can perform for himself in the
following manner: Cut hard boiled egg
into very small pieces, as it would be if
mastlcated, place the egg and two or
three of the tablets in a bottle or
jar containing warm water heated to
| S. degrees 0he temperature of the body
and keep it at this temperature for
three and one-half hours, at the end
of which time the egg will be as com
| pIetely digested as it would have been
| in the healthy stomach of a hungry boy.
The point of this experiment is that
what Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will
/ do to the egg in the bottle it will do to
| egg or meat in the stomach and moth
| ing else will rest and invigorate the
/ stomach so safely and effectually.
/ Even a little child can take Stuart's
! Tablets with safety and benefit if its
| digestion is weak and the thousands, of
| cures accomplished by their regular
/ daily use are easily explained when it
1 is understood that they are composed of
vegetable essences, aseptic pepsin dia-
stase and Golden Seal. which mingle
! with the food and digest it thoroughly,
/ giving the overWorked stomach a
/ chance to recuperate.
| Dieting never cures dyspepsia, neither
/ do pills and cathartic medicines, which
simply irritate and inf1ame the intes-
| tines.
When enough food is eaten and
| promptly digeSted there will be no con-
| stipation, nor in fact will there be dis
! ease of any kind because good diges-
| ton means good health in every organ.
/ The merit and success of Stuart 5
/ Dyspepsia Tablets are world wide and
they are sold at the moderate price of
| so cents for full sized packages in every
| drug store in the United States and
Canada, as we'll as in Europe.
For the information of these inter
| ested a little book will be mailed free
by ADDRESSING F. A Stuart Co, Mar
shall, Mich, giving briefly the symp-
| toms of the various forms of stomach
| weakness, causes and cure.

SPREAD OF SOCIALISM.
Indian Territory Society Wants to
Place Socialism in Constitution.

The socialists of Mulhan. Ind. Ty,
have completed a territorial organiza-
