PROVE ALL THINGS.
This Old, Old Command Is Easy
to FulfiIl 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-

about Doan's Kidney Pills. Read this:
MIR. V. G. 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 trouble
and the pain IN my back was some
thing awful. 1 could not sit or recline
without the aching becoming unbear-
able. The secretions from the kidneys
were discolored and offensive. L was in
bed when I learned of Doan's Kidney
Pills, and I sent to Rowley & Shows
drug store, corner Sixth street and Kan
sas avenue, and got box. The third
dose gave me relief and in a short time
I was able to get up. The treatment
rid me of the pain, the kidney secre-
lions were corrected and my general
health greatly improved

OTHER DAYS TO DO 1T IN.

There was a consequential air about
Rev. Scipio Johnson as he arose at the
opening of the weekly prayer meeting
and gazed significantly at the vacant
seat usually occupied by Deacon Henry
Simpkins.

Pittsburg Dfspatch: Mr.. Sheldon's
remark that he had seen more drunken
men in London in a month than he had
seen in Topeka for a year naturally
recalls William B. Trayers' explanation
why he stammered more in New York
than he did in B-bigger
city" Moreover, it is possible that in
Topeka those who have looked on the
distilled spirits to their obfuscation
might try to keep out of the way of
the pastor of the Central Congrega-
tional church, while in London the in
toxicated persons would maintain a
blissful ignorance of the clergyman's
disapproval. Beyond which it is prob
ably true that our English cousins do
absorb more alcoholic stimulants than
the Americans, and most of them carry
it better.

CARTER'S CONTRACTS
Placed in Evidence in the Gaynor
Trial.

New York, July 11.-Hearing in the
proceedings for the removal of B. D.
Greene and J. F.. E. r. and w. F.
Gaynor to the jurisdiction of the
Georgia federal courts was heard be-
fore Commissioner Shields.
J. W. o. Sterley, who was chief clerk
under Captain Carter, identified one by
one the various contracts made by Gen
eral Gilmore and Captain Carter for
the government work and Mr.. Erwin
offered them in evidence. Some of them
dated back to 1884. Counsel for the de-
Tense objected to them, but Commits
sioner Shields overruled all objections.
Mr.. Rose, of counsel for Defense ar
gued that General Gilmore was not
suspected of any completely in the
frauds and the district attorney ex-
planned that he desired to put the con-
tracts made by General Gilmore in evil
dence to show how the prices had in
creased after Captain Carter had sole
control of the bids put in by the con-
tractors.

QUEENS GARDEN PARTY
Held at Buckingham Palace Was a
Brilliant Function.

London, July 1.-THE queens garden
party at Buckingham palace today was
an especially brilliant function. Her
majesty came from Windsor to attend
the party and drove about among the
thousands of guests, who included the
members of the royal family, the diplo-
matte corps and other distinguished
people. The members of the United
States embassy and the United States
consulate were present in full strength.
The garden party gave rise to an ex-
traordinary scene in the house OF COM
mons. The usual hunndrum Wednesday
business was in progress when an adj
5Ournment was moved to enable the
members to attend the function at
buckingham palace. John Dillon, Irish
Nationalist, objected, saying that bust
ness interfered with such a purpose. A.
F. Madison, Radical. who followed,
protested in an excited manner against
what he considered to be fragrant abuse
of governmental power and gross waste
of the time of the house" He declared
that a single clause of the agricultural
holdings bill, then under discussion,
was worth more than all the royal gar
den parties, with all royalty thrown
in"
These remarks brought forth angry
shouts of Withdraw and on the de-
mand Of the speaker Mr.. Madison
withdrew his expressions.

SLIM ATTENDANCE.
Educational Association Convention
Located Too Far South.

Charleston. s. c.. July 1.-THE Con-
tributions of Religious Organizations to
the Cause of Education" was the gen.
eral topic at the forenoon session of the
National Educational association.
President Corson announced that
General Secretary Rev. H NJ Duboz, of
the Epworth league, who was to speak
for the Methodist church, had been
compelled to return to Nashville be-
cause of the illness of his wife. Presi-
dent Cooper, of Baylor university,
Waco, Tex. spoke of the part taken by
the Baptist church in the cause of gen.
eral education.
The president announced the nomi-
mating committee, which will nominate
officers for the coming year. Nearly
1900 delegates have arrived, but con-
siderable disappointment is expressed
that there are not more present. Some
of the delegates claim the convention
city is too far south to be reached
by the travellers of the far north and
west, while nearly all of those states
sent large delegations to Los Angeles
a year ago. It is believed the Califor-
mia convention will hold the attendance
record for years to come.

SUPPLIES COAL TO THE WORLD.

The remarkable increase in coal ex-
portations from the United States,
coupled with the fact that we became
In 1899 the worlds largest producer of
coal, gives special interest to an eIab-
crate discussion of the worlds coal pro-
duct, published by the bureau of sta
tistics of the treasury department in the
April number of the Monthly Summary
of Commerce and Finance. Exporta-
lions Of coal from the United States
in the ten months ending with April
were nearly so per cent larger than
those of the same months of the pre-
ceding fiscal year and so per cent
larger than those Of the corresponding
months of 1898 while our total pro-
duction for 1898 was not only the Iarg-
est in our history but larger than that
of any other country in the world
For the first time the United States
figures show a larger production than
the British figures for the same period.
The significance of this fact cannot be
overestimated- Coal is now more than
ever 1.-The material energy of a coun-
try, the universal aid the factor in
every thing we do" The relative album
dance or scarcity Of coal, therefore, is
the truest index of a country's position
among its Industrial rivals. According
to recent informa ton steamers have
been chartered to carry coal from
America to st. Petersburg and Stock
holm. as well as to italian, French and
German ports While these exports
may be due mainly to the present alb
normal conditions of the British coal
market, there is no doubt that in time
this country viii be called upon to sup
ply an ever larger part of the coal need
ed by foreign Industrial countries,
which, until recently. have been draw
ing upon the British output. This is
the more probable since cost of pro-
duction and prices of coal show fall
ing tendency for this country, whereas

WASHBURN MUST WAIT.
Paving to College Can Not Be Com
pleted.

The people interested in the paving of
College avenue from Piercy street to
Euclid avenue are doomed to disap-
pointment as it will be impossible to
pave the two blocks this year
Nothing can be done by the city until
Judge Hazen has passed on the annexa-
ton ordinance which includes this
street. This will probably be done next
week but there is so many petitions
ahead that the work can not be reached
although the residents have their petit
ton prepared and will present it as
soon as they are taken into the city
The paving will join the proposed coun-
ty macadamized road at the corner of
Euclid and College avenue and the COL
lege people have been anxious to have
it completed this year.

HOW THE CROOK WORKS.
Police Sergeant Donovan Discusses
His Experienca.

Sergeant Donovan who. with officer
Pavey, went to Kansas City during the
convention to keep a lookout for To-
peka crooks, was discussing his trip
last evening, when he was asked some
thing about the manner in which the
crooks worked in crowds like the one
in Kansas City. He said:
THE crooks who attend large gath
erings are generally the light fingered
gentry, but of course all kinds of crooks
are there looking for any opportunity
that might come up in their line. The
pickpockets work singly and in pairs.
If two are working together the one
who makes the touch passes his booty
to his pal who easily gets away, and if
the operator is caught nothing can be
found on his person and he can not be
prosecuted. The litter of diamonds
and watches has a good chance to work
in a crowd as he can push against one
and remove a stud or a watch without
the least trouble and with very small
chance OF detection The only way that
crowds can be protected from this kind
of work is by having officers who are
acquainted with suspicious characters
on hand to arrest them on some charge
and keep them out of the way while the
crowd is in the city.

were in the day of the big pocket-book
