MILWAUKEE IN EARNEST
Busy Raising 100000 For the Dem

Milwaukee, Feb. 8.-Milwaukee is
very much in earnest in regard to Sc

city viii put up 100000 for the expenses
of the convention and there is every
Indication that the promise will be
made good. For the last week Mayor
Rose and some Of the prominent Dem

the most of their time to securing sub
scriptions to the fund. The sum Of
So, 900 was added to the fund this morn
ing by Mayor Rose as the result of
few hours work. There will be no let
up in the work until the committee has
the funds in hand and a certified check
ready to present to the Democratic
committee as a guaranty. A committee
of boomers will leave here for Wash

American Associations Backing

TO FINANCE THE CLUB
For Privilege of Selling Beer in
the Bleachers.
Manager Schaefer Enthusiastic
Over the Prospects.

st. Louis, Feb. S-George Schaefer,
the head of the New American Associa-
ton, announced yesterday that he has
obtained the financial backing of the
st. Louis Brewing association, the COM
bination of local breweries commonly
known as the English Syndicate" for
his st. Louis association club. "They
have given me carte blanche to go
ahead" said Mr.. Shaefer yesterday
Ever since the new association was

my backing. Now have the honor OF
producing it.

baby about February Is.

cry way. If the Philadelphia people
had taken as good care of their end of

as soon as they do we will go after
players.
The members of the st. Louis Brew
ing association were very enthusiastic
over the American Association when
attended their meeting this morning.
President Nolker. Marquard Forster,
Otto Stifel and Phil Stock all agreed
to take individual stock in the con-
Germ.
This is not half the backing I can
show. It is only the beginning. Keep
an eye on my exhaust during the next
few days and watch the sparks go out
the smokestack. I am compound mo-
gul and running under full steam with
the gauge screwed down"
From Mr.. Schaefer's announcement it
would appear that his club has secured
splendid backing. The st. Louis Brew
ing association is figured as worth some
$50 900, 900, and such a thing as backing
a baseball club is merely a side issue of
a picayune sort with them.
The fact that a brewing association
is back of the club no doubt means that
beverages will be sold in the bleachers,
old days. Mr.. Schaefer said that this
feature had not been discussed. but
would come up later. to be decided as
the patrons of the club desired.

The shadows of the coming presiden-
tial campaign are swiftly enveloping the
administration and congress and the
henchmen of the various political parties.
The harmony which prevailed Is

THE president probably realizes by this
time that the next eight or nine months

him in office, as Wen as to the president

prominent among these. Leaving wholly
out of consideration the AtkinSonS, the
Pettigrews, the Masons, the Aliens and
their followers and sympathizers and the
so-called anti-imp erialists who share the

conservative citizens who disagree with one

MR.. BARNES, SCHEME.
Ex-City Engineer o. Topeka Proposes
to Build Sewers on Long Island

Since W. H Barnes resigned as city
engineer of Topeka he has been active
. IN his old home on Long Island, and is
showing the fasteners what western
push and energy mean:
The following dispatch appeared il
the Brooklyn Times:
East Hampton, Feb. 5.-Application
for franchise to provide the village of
East Hampton with a complete sys-
tenn of sewers, to be constructed in ac-
cordance with the most approved mod
ern methods of sanitation, was made
yesterday to the town board and the
highway commissioners of East Hamp-
ton through Town Clerk Osborne. The
applicant was William H. Barnes, an
engineer of wide experience in the con-
struction of municipal works.
Like a number of other Long Island
villages, East Hampton has recently
installed a complete water works sys-
tenn, but has SO far made no provision
for sewerage system on a comprehen-
sive scale.
The right is asked to maintain out
falls, settling basin, filter beds, a sew
erage farm, or precipitation chamber,
as the best method may develop, upon
his own or leased land, provided how
ever, that it is located a reasonable
distance from a source of public water
supply or a present human habitatiOn.
The plant and all it's appurtenances
are to be subject to inspection by state
and town health officers or boards of
health and recommendations from
them must receive due consideration.
The right is asked to form a chartered
company and to transfer this franchise
to said proposed company; said com
pany to have the power to issue stock
and bonds to build the system, and to
charge and collect for the use of the
sewers and their appurtenances. Church
structures, public libraries town hall
and public fountains are to have free
use of the sewer connections upon pay
ment of cost of installation.
The collection of data and the making
of plans and specifications, are to COM
mence within thirty days, and the COM
pleted plans are to be laid before the
board of health before July 1, 1900. Ac-
tual work must begin before January

RULERS OF THE WORLD.
Meat Eating Nations Are Leaders in
Every Branch of Human
Achievement

The ruling nations of the world are
meat eaters, and history records that
they always have been.
Vegetarians and food cranks may ex-
plain this in any way they choose, but
the facts remain that the Americans
English, French, Russians and Germans
are meat eating nations, and they are
also the most energetic and most pro-
gressive.
The principal food of the heroic Boer
solder, known as biltong, is a sort of
dried beef, affording a great deal of
nourishment in highly concentrated
form.
The weak races of people are the rice
eating Chinese, Hindoos, and Siamese,
non progressive, superstitious and infe-
rior physically and mentally to the
meat eating nations who dominate
them.
The structure Of the teeth plainly in
dicates that human beings should sub
sist upon a variety of food, meat, fruit
and grains, and it is unhygienic to con-
fine ones diet to any one of those
classes to the exclusion of another.
Meat is the most concentrated and
most easily digested of foods, but our
manner of living is often so unnatural
that the digestive organs refuse to
properly digest meat, eggs, and similar
nutritious and wholesome food but it
is not because such food is unWhoIe-
some but the real reason is that the
stomach lacks, from disease or weak
ness, some necessary digestive element;
hence arising indigestion and later on,
chronic dyspepsia.
Nervous people should eat plenty of
meat, convalescents should make meat
the principal food, hard working people
have to do so and brain workers and
office men should eat, not so much
meat but at least once a day, and to
insure its perfect digestion one or two
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets should be
taken after each meal, because they
supply the peptones, diastase and fruit
acids, lacking in every case of stomach
trouble.
Nervous dyspepsia, catarrh of stom-
ach. gastritis, sour stomach, gas and
acidity are only different names for in
digestion, the failure to digest whole
some food, and the use of Stuart's Tab
let's cures them all because by affording
perfect digestion the stomach has a
/ chance to rest and recover it's natural
tone and vigor
household incidence it is as safe and
pleasant for the stomach ache of the
baby as it is for the imperfect diges-
/ ton of its grand sire.
They are not a cathartic, but a. diges-
tive and no pill habit can ever follow
their use; the only habit Stuart's Tab
| let's induce is the habit of good diges-
| ton and consequently good health.
A little book on stomach diseases
mailed free by addressing T. A. Stuart
| Co, Marshall, Mich. All drug stores
| sell the tablets at so cents for complete
! treatment.

GODDARD ON THE LOOKOUT.
Attorney General Watching For Vio-
lators of Screen Law.

Attorney General GODDARD has inaug-
urated an investigation by which he
hopes to discover alleged violation of
the screen law by mining companies
in the southeastern part of the state.
Reports to the office of the attorney
general indicate that a small number
of companies continue violations of this
law which was recently declared con-
stitutional by the supreme court.
A majority of the companies, i'm
mediately after the decision of the su-
preme court was announced, complied
with the law and others announced
their intention of so doing as soon as
the necessary machinery could be Sc
cured. Some of them have not yet
done so. The penalty for these viola
lions is severe.
The mining companies labored several
years to prove that this law was I'M
constitutional and refused to obey its
provisions so long as it was in court.
Now that the law has received the ap-
prevail of the court some insist on con-
tinuing the violation, an act which
will be exampled when the attorney
general can secure sufficient evidence.

1t ought to be taken in. as it is not an

H. c. Root appeared for the owners
of the Douthitt tract and other portions
of the Douthitt estate. principally
Douthitt Place and a small tract near
the. cemetery. He discussed several le-
gal propositions bearing on the ques-

is no indebtedness on The Strip IN
derstand that some years ago The
Strip petitioned to be taken into the
city, but we then owed $4,000 and we
were refused admission. 1t is different
now. We are out of debt, and it would
be unjust to us to be forced into the
city against our will. We have some
valuable property out there. 1t would
be a precious morsel to be added to the

1T is thrown up to US sometimes
that we have the advantages of a city

them. I believe we are paying for all
the advantages We have. We haven't a

addition have to go out to Oakland to

not wish Fry's addition taken into the

Bill LANCE Highly Recommends Te-

San Francisco. Cal. Feb. 8.-Big Bill
Lange has turned a good trick for St.
Louis by signing Midget" Sheehan,
crack third baseman of the pennant-
winning Sacramento team of the Cal
ifornia state league. Some time ago
Bill wrote Selee of Boston, Freedman
Of New York and Tebeau about Shee-
han. If ever a young player received
a warm letter of recommendation. Shee-
han did in Leng's. Patsy, who has con-
fdence in the judgment of Big Bill,
wired back to LANCE to sign Sheehan at
once. A day or so later instructions
came from Selee and Freedman to sign
him. The first to come was first served,
and Tebeau got him.
Il am confident Sheehan will make a
success in the big league said Bill to-
day. "Of course Tebeau won't press
him into service right away. He will

LAWRENCE STILL THERE.
Veteran Ell Dorado silverite Denies
That He Has Deserted Is to /.

DR.. F. B. Lawrence, the Ell Dorado
in a 16 to 1 silver policy, has been
charged with having deserted the cause
of silver and Bryan but this he denies
and says he believes Bryan will be
nominated and that he will work for
the election of the ticket upon which
the Nebraska mans name appears.
Lawrence has been talked of as a
fusion candidate for congress in the
Fourth district and he has a suspicion
that some of his opponents are trying
to make out that he is not following the
traditions of the silverites as he should.
Lawrence resents this imputation and
says he is still in the silver ranks and
win remain there.

A Few
Personal Words.

The readers of the Journal have on
more than one occasion voluntarily
thanked US for calling their attention to
matters of deep interest to them. It is
this feeling of satisfaction that prompts
us to mention the fact that the Brit
ish Medical Institute has established a
permanent branch office in Topeka, at
412 Topeka avenue, and that it offers
it's services free for three months to
all invalids who call for treatment be-
fore February II.
The full Importance of this munificent
offer can scarcely be realized. Suffice it
to say that the British Medical Insti-
tute has on its staff a large number of
the most expert British medical spe-
cialists in the United States, and that
DR.. s. Edward McCully, the chief con-
suIting surgeon. is now in Topeka,
and will remain permanently, assisted
by one or more Of his staff.
The reader should remember that no
charge whatever will be made for con-
sultat.on, examination or advice medf-
cines excepted), and that all minor sur
gicaI operations will be performed
free. the only condition being that in
yalids must avail themsels es of this
between now and February IT. and
from now until that date the office will
be kept open every day, Sundays ex-
copied, from Q a. m till p. M
Male and female weakness, Catarrh
and Catarrhal deafness, also Rupture,
Goiter, Cancer, and all diseases of the
Rectum are positively cured by their
new treatment.
Those of our readers who are ailing
should call at once and avoid the crowd
ing that will naturally take place later
on.
