OFFICERS OF CHARLESTON
Charged With Being Intoxicated Will
Have to Stand Investigation.

New York, March 5.-A special to the
Herald from Washington, D. c., says:
Besides directing Rear Admiral Wat
son to make a thorough investigation
of charges of intOxication preferred
against officers of the wrecked cruiser
Charleston, Secretary Long has written
to the person making them, requesting
that he specifically name the officers
guilty of the alleged offense.
The secretary is inclined to believe
the charges are without foundation,
especially as they were sent to the de-
partment from Bulgaria. Instead of
being preferred by a consul, as reported.
they were sent by a clergyman. The
secretary said that they We're very gen.
eral in character and failed to give the
name of any officers.
Rear Admiral Watson has been fur
nished with a copy of the communica-
ton from the clergyman and will make
a strict inquiry. 1t is supposed by de-
partment officials that the clergyman
must have got his information from an
enlisted man who had grievance
against the Charleston's officers.

instead of carrying out a few bedclothes
he went diligently to work to subdue the
flames.
B. B. Clary, the member of Marshalps
band who fell through a defective place
in a Kansas avenue sidewalk some time
ago and broke his bass viel has just re-

He has put in bill against the city for
the value of the one which was broken.
During the recent absence of her hus-
wife of the former pastor of the First
Christian church of Topeka filled the pull
pit of her husbands church in Brooklyn,
and the New York Herald gives great
prominence to the fact and highly COM
pliments Mrs. Harlan's sermon.
A woman giving the name of Smith was
looking for lost husband Saturday.
Mrs. Smiths husband is an old soldier,
and they have not lived in Topeka long.
About a week ago Mrs. Smith was called
suddenly to Colorado account of the
sickness of a relative. When she re-
turned Saturday no trace of the husband
could be found.

SLIGHT OUR CONSULS.
Restrictions Placed Upon American
REPRESENTATIVES. in Germany.

New York, March 5.-A special to the
Herald from Washington, D. c., says:
Restrictions imposed by the governor
Of Dusseldorf, Germany, upon American
consuls to prevent them from getting
information of a commercial character
may be objected to by this government
in case an official dispatch regarding
them should be received by the state
department.
Reports Of this character have been
current in this country for several
months, but an official OF the state de-
partment said that no official dispatch
had reached the department If the
facts are as stated in the press reports,
then, he said. the department would
require Germany to live up to the pro-
visions of the treaty Of 1871 respecting
consular officers.
Article of this convention provides
that the respective consuls general,
cOnsuls, vice cOnSuls or consular agents,
as well as their chancellOrS and secre-
taries shall enjoy in the two countries
all privileges, exemptions and immuni-
ties which have been granted or may
in future be granted to the agents of
the same rank of the most favored ma
tions.@
If it should be ascertained that con-
suls of other nations accredited to Ger
many are getting the information de-
sired by the consular representatives
of the United States, then the claim can
be advanced that the latter are not al
lowed the privileges accorded to other
consuls." In the treaty of 1928 with
Prussia the two contracting parties
grant each other the liberty of con-
sular representation, and the consuls
shall enjoy the same privileges and
powers as those of the most favored
nation"
Other states of the German confed-
Grafton have treaties with the United
States containing provisions of like
character. No complaint can be made
to the German government at the action
of the authorities in refusing informa-
tiOn, but If, as stated, such refusal
should be especially directed against
the United States then complaint can
and would be made.
The authorities are not inclined to the
belief that the restrictions imposed by
the governor of Dusseldorf were
prompted by the Berlin government. but
were rather the act of an official who
desired to make political capital with
the Agrarian party

THE SOUSA CONCERT.
Hundreds of Topeka People Heard the
Famous Band Saturday Night.

The big audience that heard the Sousa
concert at the Crawford theater Satur-
day night paid the famous bandmaster
a particular compliment, by demanding
that his latest march, 1.-The Man Behind
the Gun" be played twice over after
the original number.
The applause after the first response
was even greater than that which
greeted the original number, and with
customary generosity Mr.. Sousa con-
scented to direct a second rendition. For
the third time the comets and from
bones, in a lines across the stage, sent
the inspiring strains resounding through
every portion of the auditorium, while
the reeds piped and the heavy brass
Numbered behind them. People who
have been familiar with the march as
a piano number, scarcely realized what

house committee on military affairs in
the Occur d'Alene investigation today.
He testified to the circumstances of his
removal from office, shortly after the
mining demonstration, his arrest and
imprisonment in the county jail for five
days.
A sharp controversy occurred between
Chairman Hull and Representative
Lentz who conducted the examination
as to whether the witness should state
his opinion on the necessity for martial
law. A vote of the committee sustained
Mr.. Hull and excluded this line of in
quiry. The witness said he did not have
a fair trial on his removal from office
William Powers testified that he was
night Waterman and constable at Null
StratiOn at Wardner. He disclaimed
any knowledge of the blowing up of the
mining property. He saw two wagon
loads of men returning from Wardner
late in the day after the explosion The
town was entirely quiet and men went
about their work as usual. A week after
the demonstration the witness was ar
rested by a squad of soldiers but sub
SequentIy released. Later he was sum
moned to appear before the United
States Industrial commission when he
again was arrested by a deputy. He de-
manded to know what charge there was
against him Whereupon, he said, the
deputy drew a gun" and an exciting
ARRAY occurred, in which the deputy
lost his gun"
A soldier interfered and Powers was
arrested and put in the bull pen" He
sent word to the Industrial commission
that he was there and they notified him
that the commission would come to the
pen" and take the testimony of all
prisoners But the witness said, this
testimony was never taken. He said he
never learned the nature of the charge
against him.

AID FOR THE BOERS.
A Movement Started in New York to
Become National.

New York, March 5.-sTo express
sympathy with the United Republics
of South Africa fighting for indepen-
dence and self government and to Sc
cure aid for the sick and wounded
within the Boer lines" is the announced
object of the New York committee to
aid the United Republics of South Afri-
ca and this committee has broadened it's
field to include the entire United States.
The committee OF which Geo. NJ.
VanHoeSen is chairman, has issued an
address to the public, inviting the CO
operation of all in its work and asking
that petitions and other means should
be adopted to influence the senators and
representatives in Washington to take
some action in the interest of media
ton and peace. The circular adds:
Within the last three months, one
hundred mass meetings have been held
throughout the United States, which
have been attended by over 1000, 600
citizens at which the friendly offices of
this government have been invoked in
the interest of mediation and peace.
Up to the present time President Nc
Kinley has not felt justified in giving
ear to these appeals
We therefore urge the citizens of
the United States to continue to hold
mass meetings for the purpose of in
forming the national administration of
the true sentiment of the American peo-
pie in regard to this cruel and unwar-
ranted assault upon the liberty of two
independent republics. This organiza-
ton, having established headquarters
at the Morton House, Union Square,
New York, requests the various Trans
vaal committees throughout the coun-
try to enter into correspondence with
our secretary for the purpose of joint
political action and national Organiza-
ton upon this most urgent question"

Clever Engineertng Feat.

A railway recently built in southern
Bavaria practically carries a creek
across the railway, instead Of the rail-
way crossing the creek. The stream is
a small tributary Of the Isar river,
that in stormy times is swelled to enor-
nous proportions. Every bridge that
has been built over 1t has been carried
away. Finally a young engineer offered
to solve the difficulty.
A tunnel Of strong masonry was first
constructed across the valley and re-
enforced on the outside, turned toward
the torrent with all the rocks availa-
BILE that had collected there. Cross
walls leading from the solid rock and
across the tunnel were built and
strongly braced. This was done to
protect the railway. The rest was left
for nature to do. At the first strong
rain everything happened as the young
engineer had predicted. Bowlders and
rocks coming down with the water
filed up the big hole left between the
tunnel and the rocks, until the over
fow carried everything across the tun.
mel. The bed Of the torrent was raised
by Itself, and nov there IL not the
slightest danger Of interruption in this
part of the railroad even after the
most severe rainstorm.

Fista.sx Of Eisetalsikg,

The photography Of lightning is
sciences latest achievement. These are
called "electrographs, and are eonsid-
cred of great value in the future knowl-
edge of electricity. 1t is well known
that a person struck by lightning bears
an impression resembling a tree. The
electrograph has proved that this is be-
cause lightning itself has a tree1like
shape, which always leaves a vivid i'm
preston wherever it strikes. In this
respect it is similar to the famous medi-
cine, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, whlch
also leaves it's impression-thatof health
upon every one who uses it. This
great specific is for all stomach Ills such
as dyspepsia, constipation, biliousness,
malaria, kidney trouble, and all ailments
which arise from impaired digestion. 1t
will not offend the weakest stomach.

ROBBED THE GRAVE.

A startling incident, Of which Mr..
John Oliver, Of Philadelphia, was the
subject, is narrated by him as follows:
IT was in a most dreadful condition. My
skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken,
tongue coated, pain continually in back
and sides, no appetite-gradually grow
ing weaker day by day. Three physi-
clans had given me up. Fortunately, q
friend advised trying Electric Bitters';
and to my great Joy and surprise, the
first bottle made a decided improve
ment. I continued their use for three
weeks, and am now a well man. I know
they saved my life, and robbed the
grave Of another victim" No n should
fail to try them. Only so cts, guaran-
teed, at Fischer & Co.'s drug store.

He lifted his head,
And the Vision that stood there smiled.
"Oh, Poet" she said,
II have come at thy bidding; no child
OF thy fancy, dead,
But living and breathing as thou!
Take me now!'
His heart, how it burned!
But he thought, "'Ti a dream. II I move,
1t will vanish and yearned
With an infinite y%earning and strove
With his doubts till she turned
She, the Vision-and sorrowful vent
Ere he knew her intent.
He leapt to his feet
And seized on her undulant veil,
With its odor as sweet
As the Maytime, and, 10, it did trail
In his hand, all completed
She had gone, and he cherished, f%orlorn,
The veil she had worn.
The veil he appraised.
He showed it to men, and they cried
As they noted, amazed,
The diaphanous wonder, "What pride
OF invention!" and praised.
But sweeter and sadder he grew
And replied, "If you knew!"
