HAS PROMISED THRICE.
Sultan of Turkey Hopes Soon to Pay
Debts Owed Uncle Sam.

New York, Feb. 21.-Oscar G. Strauss.
United States minister to Turkey, after
comforting with state department off,
Gals on Monday in Washington return
ed to New York. and is now enjoying
the beginning of his three months leave
of absence. He said last night that he
had no intention of resigning his office,
although there had been rumors to the
effect that he had become somewhat
tired of the duties.
Asked what progress the Turkish gov
eminent had made with reference to in
Identifying the American owners of
property destroyed during the American
troubles, he said:
Until my arrival there Turkey had
denied liability for these property dam
ages, but since then the governments
liability has been admitted and the sui
tan has not only promised to pay, but
he has twice repeated that promise. That
he will have to pay the several claims
within reasonable short time there is no
question and 1 credit him with the in
tention of fulfilling his promise. The
sum involved is less than 800, 000''
did the Spanish war and the victory
of Dewey at Manila make US any better
known in Turkey?" Mr.. Strauss was
asked.
They certainly did do just that thing
and the Oriental world has a far better
appreciation of the power of this coun-
try than it had before. The sultan, how
ever, has not vet an adequate cOncep-
peace and war of the United States. He
regards it as a country too far away to
cause him uneasiness. but as a matter
of fact. Constantinople is nearer to
New York than Manila is to San Fran
,cisco.
1.-The Germans, Continued Mr.. Strauss,
ARE just beginning the preliminary
work on their great railway concession
from Angora to Bagdad, on the Persian
gulf, a distance of 1000 or 1900 miles.
The surveys are being made and doubt
less the road will be pushed through in
good time. This will result in throwing
across a good part of the Turkish en-
pire a belt of German commercial inf1u-
ence and the result will be an interest
ing thing to watch. The route will ira
verse the old Babylonish commercial
highways. I obtained not long ago per-
mission for the Robert college to erect
a new building and on the day left
my post the sultan sent me word that
permission had been granted for the re-
construction of Euphrates college at
Harpot, destroyed during the Armenian
troubles in 1895. This is a congrega-
tional institution under the charge of
the Rev. DR.. Gates and probably the
new work will go forward as soon as
the snow is off the ground.

Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, Feb. 21.-Returns of
yesterdays election in this city did not
come in from some of the outlying
wards until most daylight today. Six
teen magistrates were voted for, and
the result shows a decided victory for
the candidates nominated by the NUM-

reduced pIuralities the ten candidates
they We're entitled to under the law,
only two OF the six Democratic candi-

league electing the other four.
The four men elected by the muni-
cipal league are: Albert H. Ladner,

Press Agent Pick Smith submits the
following:
Remember that the Elks' show, my
Lord in Petticoats." will be presented
at the Grand on Thursday and Friday
nights, with Saturday matinee.
You will find that the Elks' enter
tainment Thursday and Friday
nights will give you more real pleasure
than any Of the good shows of the week,
with the possible exception of Mar
shalPS last evening. Homemade shows
are not always like homemade clothes.
and all who have attended the home
made shows of the Elks have had the
worth of their money, and then some.
The Topeka Dramatic club, which
does the acting at the Elks' great moral
show, contains all the best talent in
Shawnee county, and it laps over a
trif1e into Douglas county.
Miss Georgia Brown has directed
many fine entertainments in our city,
''She Stops to Conquer" "Midsummer
Nights Dream and others, and all
who witnessed these, or any of them,
will not miss the Elks' show Thursday
and Friday evenings or the matinee on
Saturday afternoon.
A certain man on West Eighth street
got up the other night to heat some
water for medical purposes, and upon

the cook stove was missing. Upon
making inquiry of his wife as to what
had become of this necessary piece of
furniture, he was informed that she
had pawned it for money to buy tick
cts to the Elks. show. Strange to
say, when he learned the truth from
his wife, who never deceiveS her nus
band, he wasn't a bit mad, but went
next day and bought another stove,
and a better one than they had before.
Now, if the wife of the doctor whose
stove exploded the other day and blew
the everlasting daylights out of his
kitchen had been of the same notion
as the wife of this other man, and had
snapped the stove for Elk Show tick
cts that family would be better off than
it is, for they would have something to
show for their money.

SAVING COLONIES.
Bees That Are Apparently Dead Can
often Be Saved by Taking Them
Into a Warm Room.

Colonies of bees apparently dead may
be found, owing to the unusual wealth
er conditions existing this winter. The
A, B, C of Bee Culture gives the follow
ing:
stores unexpectedly, and, to all ap-
pearances, be dead from starvation,
the greater part of the bees on the bot
tom board and others with their heads
in the cells. Now, if they have not been
in this condition more than three or
four days, they can often be revived
by taking them into a warm room.
AS soon as they begin to show signs of
life, sprinkle them with diluted honey
or sweetened water. In the course OF
two to six or eight hours they Will
come to life, as it were, crawl up on
the combs and be nearly as well as if
their mishap had never happened
Such cases occur most frequently in
the apiary, when the nights are not
very cold. Valuable queens may often
be saved when but few or none of the
worker bees can be resuscitated; for
it is a strange fact that the queens ten
acity of life is greater than that of any
of the workers.
''In my earlier experiences 1 was try
ing very hard one year to winter my
whole apiary, of IS colonies, without
any loss. 1 did it, but one of them
came SO near being lost that it was
saved only by the above treatments
therefore, friends, don't be in a hurry
to decide that a colony is lost ire
trievably."

moving the grain. from the trough
should you choose to do so. This, how
ever, is seldom done. The bottom of
the feeder is built high in the mid
die and slopes to the feed trough on
either side. The roof projects a lit
tie over the sides and measures about
IA feet from cave to cave. A door or
cover is provided at either side for
the feed trough. If one has cows in
the lot at night, but wishes calves to
grain from the feeder during the day,
he can simply drop the lid when the
COWS are in the lot and raise it on
turning them out. Calves can then eat
oats or shelled corn or whatever you
may have in the feeder for them. Cut
the'rafters for the floor out of 14-foot
2x4's, making them each 31s feet
long; So rafters of this sort will be
needed for the bottom of the drop on
the sides.
After the feeder is sided up with
shiplap or flooring, the roof of 1x3
sheeting is put on, which is after
wards covered with shingles. 1t is a
good idea to put several braces across
the feeder from cave to cave. Bolt
these to the 2x4s. Strength will be
given to the structure by running a
half-inch rod the length of the feed
er and making it fast just below the
grain DOORS The feeder is about 16
feet long, and has capacity of about
1000 bushels of corn. Total cost, in
Guiding lumber, labor and hardware,

feeders. Have slides in the troughs
so the amount of grain can be adjust
