ANDERSON THERE.
Topeka Major Says Nice Things
About Wichita.

The following is from the Wichita
Beacon:
Major T. ]. Anderson, state senator.
secretary of the Commercial club, man
ager of the Modocs, state statistician.
etc, etc, is here from Topeka, dressed
in the uniform of a Knight Templar
and enjoying himself. The session of
the cOmmandery was too much for the
major yesterday, however, and he was
compelled to seek rest last evening in
stead of attending the entertainment in
Consistory temple.
Mr.. Andersons opinion of Wichita
does not differ from that oft repeated
by others, who say that Wichita is all
right and there is no use to deny it.
But when it comes to the Masonic home,
the major says the Masons of Kansas
are proud of it, as well as Wichita, and
when the MasonS of Kansas purchased
this beautiful home in the queen city
they did just right.
The Topeka Commercial club will hold
a street fair from May % to June 2, in
elusive It will be a hot number, and
if the astronomers are not mistaken the
sun will hide it's face on the day this
fair opens. The fair is being held early
in the season, as Topeka wants to hold
some other doings along in the fall
when the auditorium is completed. This
is to be about August 1.

HOOK HEARS STRIKERS
Contempt Cases Before Him at Fort

There is an unusually large criminal
docket for the May term of the federal
court at Fort Scott, which began this
week, and which nearly all the federal
court officials of Topeka are attending.
A grand jury has been empaneIled and
large number of witnesses are under

The principal interest centers around
the trial of the leaders of the miners
strike who are to be tried for contempt.
Their ofense consisted in violating the
injunction granted by Judge Williams
prohibiting them from interfering with
the employees of the coal companies
who had been shipped in to take the
places of the strikers. John Reece, of
the executive committee of the mine
workers union, was imprisoned by
Judge Williams for violating the same
Injunction, but he was released by the
/ United States court of appeals. This
time Judge Hook is sitting on the cases

Fun WITH MIR. GORMAN.

lfrOm the chicago journal.
Not long ago a rather prominent poll
tcian from the middle west was in
Washington. He had heard of Cor
man for years and wanted to meet him.
One day the opportunity presented itself
and an introduction followed. The two
were left together, and then the visitor
tried to draw the Maryland boss out on
various questions of public interest-not
abruptly or with view to making any
use of what might he said, but more
through curiosity to know the German
opinion than anything else German re-
tired into his hole, as usual. The visitor
was nettled and made up his mind to
force the fighting.
by the way, Mr.. German" he said,
what are your initials?"
My name is Arthur Pue German, sir"
was the reply.
"Oh, yes. and believe you are from
Virginia. or is it North Carolina?"
Maryland, SIR" was the response,
German beginning to be a little an
noyed.
''Of course. it is Maryland: how
stupid of me not to remember, ,'-said the
visitor, adding: You were in the house
once, were you motor was it the SEN
ate?''
German nearly stopped breathing. His
| face grew red. The idea that a man
of this visitors prominence should not
! be familiar with the public career of the
| gentleman from Maryland was almost
| beyond comprehension. Rather testify
! he replied: Il was a member of the
| senate, sir, and fatter myself that dur
| ing my terms of service I was not Who'll
! ly a useless member and contributed in
some degree to shaping the policy of my
party"
What was your party, Mr. German =?
| You were Republican, were you nOt2'
This was too much. German grew
ready to utter a volley of high explos-
ives, but as he turned to face his Wis
itor he saw merry twinkle in the
! callers eye. The westerner had been
| guying him and he was just finding it
out. 1t is needless to suggest that the
remainder of the interview, which was
| by far the longer part of it, was of a
most cordial and friendly character and
that the Marylander, to use a street ex-
preston, almost "coughed up his boots
on all matters of public interest and
| more than fulfilled the expectations of
| the man who had met him for the first
time. The man, by the way, is now one
of Germans greatest admirers and
would like to see him president of the
United States.

WINE VS.. COFFEE.

"A wine makers wife on whom was
calling year or two ago, urged me to
drink large cup of very strong coffee
When mad declined to take a glass of
VINE Tor the reason that the wine affect
ed me unpleasantly. The coffee was so
strong that my head reeled and rolled

wine would have been the more tenper-
ate drink after all
I had been a moderate user of coffee
Dut had been suffering from sick head
aches for some time and was becouins q
very suspicious that coffee was the
cause OF them. After this experiment
the drug power of coffee was made so
pam that abandoned it altogether and
had long season Of hot water drinking
which Is not enjoyable, as you will adj
nit.
After awhile I was introduced to
Postum Food Coffee and it proved a JOY
and promise Of pleasure to come If
tasted SO much like coffee that I waited
Tor some of the evil effects to develop.
They did not come. so I drank it three
times day and still continue. The
habit spread from me to the rest OF the
FAMILY. Even father, a confirmed cot
fee drinker, "a years old, now drinks
Postum with great relish, and his health
has been better the past winter than fol
several years.
"On Christmas we had a reunion OF
several old-time friends and served Pos
tum instead Of coffee. One of the ladies'
who holds an important educational po-
sition and must care for her nerves
said, Give me the smallest cup-I dar,
not drink coffee She was told that il
was not coffee, but was Postum. After
drinking a little of it she said, I never
liked Postum before. The way we mad,

HERE'S ANOTHER.
George Hamilton Enters Third Dis
trict Congressional Race.

George Hamilton of Crawford coun-
ty,a new man in politics, has announced
himself as a candidate for the fusion
congressional nomination in the Third
district.
This is the latest entry in the congress
siOnal race but the politicians can not
identify Hamilton so he is not given
much standing in this contest. Some of
the POpulist managers have been look
ing for something of Hamilton's history
but it is announced at Populist head
quarters that he is too new to cut much
figure.
However, at the present rate of new
candidates, every county in the district
will have man on the entry list by the
time the convention is held May 81 at

DEDICATION
OF the Authenticated Colossal Thes
plan Temple at the North Dakota
Chautauqua, Devils Lake, to
be Grandly Dedicated.

The management of the North Da-
kota C~hautauqua has just completed
the largest building in the state de-
voted exclusively to amusements. The
mammoth auditorium on the grounds at
Devils Lake will seat over 5000 people,
with a stage twice as large as any
other in the state The cost of the
building has run into thousands, and
to help meet q portion of this vast
outlay the management decided to
open the magnificent building, in ad-
vance Of the Chautauqua session, by a
performance in keeping with the
structure. After searching the amuse
ment realm for months for an attrac.
ton, one was selected as positively the
greatest to be had ..
The Manning School of Music,
Orat tory Dramatic Art, Language and
Dancing, or Minneapolis, has graduated
a large percentage Of the leading
people in these branches now before
the public. The graduates this. year
consist of As charming young ladies,
any one of whom Is capable Of taking

star cast, will be the greatest ever
witnessed in the Northwest. I'd.
Besides the comedy of "Midsummer
Nights Dream" there will be musical,
cha, acter impersonations aud dancing
lsp~ecialties by individual members Of
the company who are artists in these
lines. No such aggregation of beauty,
refinement and brilliant talent ever
assembled before on any STAGE and
unquestionabIy the people of this
state will never again be- given an op-
%portunity to witness a performance
that will equal it.

The Program.

The list of entertainers engaged by.
the Chautauqua for the 1900 Assembly
is 81 long that space does not permit
publishing the program in full or in
detail. There will be the regular daily
meetings Of the G. L. S. G. Ministerial
conference, w. c. T. u, and other
organizations Of similar character.
DR.. May, an experienced Chautauquan,
as we'll as a brilliant lecturer and
traveller, will have charge of the plat
form during the entire Assembly. He
needs no introduction to North Dako-
tians. It would be impossible to have
q dragging entertainment when the
stage is managed by DR.. May. The
popular Indian band of rs pieces has
been engagedfor the entire Assembly,
and will give out door concerts daily.
Captain Herman has his feetof boats
in excellent condition and will run
excursions to all points on the lake
several times each day. He has a new
quick moving launch that will enable
him to carry passengers for 25 cents.
