come Yice-President.

New York, April 19-Vice-President
Roosevelt assisted in the entertain
ment of large number of newsboys
who were the guests of his sister, Mrs
Douglas Robinson, in the West Side
Boys home late yesterday. After
carrying turkey and cranberry sauce,
ice cream and other good things
around, the Vice-President made a
speech. He told the boys they might
become great men and said they had
as good chance to become governor
and vice-president as he had. Then
he touched on his recent hunting trip
in Colorado and told the boys that
the biggest lion that he and his dog
together had killed weighed only 227
pounds. A number of society people

HOW TO MAKE A STAKE"
The Way To-day Is to Buy Kansas
Farm.

Topeka, April 2l.-Inquiries were
sent to number of the leading busi-
ness men of the state recently, asking
their advice as to what young man
should do in Kansas to ''make a
stake" A dozen or more answers
we're given. They we're from such bus
mess men and bankers as eX-Gover-
nor E. N. Morrill,, c. j. Devlin of To-
peka; Joab Mulvane, of Topeka; Sen
ator G. w. Mcknight, of Junction
City; A. c. Jobes, of Wichita; D. w.
Blaine, of Pratt; G. G.. Chandler, of
Medicine Lodge; w. H. Davis, of To-
peka, and Captain John Seaton, OF
Atchison. Strange to say, everyone
of these men advised the young man
to get Kansas farm and stay with it,
Yet not one of those who gave this ad-
vice is a farmer in the true sense OF
the word. Some of them run farms,
but only as side sue or hobby.
There was a time, however, when all
of them followed the plow.

FAILURE IN AFRICA
Sir Alfred Miner Acknowledges An
Unsuccessful Campaign

London, April 1S.-An acknowledge
ment of the temporary failure of Brit
ish military operations in South
Africa is made by Sir Alfred Milner
in official dispatches published in the
blue book last night. "It is no use
denying" says Sir Alfred in one mes

been one of retrogression. Seven
months ago this colony was perfectly
quiet. To-day the scene is completely
ered." The failure of the British
forces to make any headway or to
hold the advantage heretofore gained
is attributed to the guerrilla tactics

KANSAS EGGS GO TO CUBA
One Hundred Car Loads to be Dis
tributed Through the Island.

Abilene, April 19.-The Wholesale
Egg Dealers association of Kansas
closed special meeting here today.
It's object was to discuss project for
shipping 100 cars of Kansas eggs to
Havana, Cuba. The demand for
eggs, butter and produce in the island
is reported to be increasing. One
plan is shipping by the way of Gal
weston and another through New Or.
leans. One shipment of five cars
will go in thirty days by the way of
New Orleans and others will follow.
1t is probable that several car loads
will be put in cold storage at gulf
portsiduring the spring and summer
and sent to Cuba for distribution over
the island in early fall. The new
market promises to give the Kansa
egg trade profitable outlet and the
dealers are much interested in it.

sent him letter. He told her he not
received the letter and that it had
probably been stolen. April 26, r. e.

lying on the sidewalk. He picked it

PLEADS FOR PEACE
Aguinaldo tissues an Address to the
Filipino People

Manila, April 19.-The following is
Aguinaldo's address to the Filipino
people, made public this evening:
81 believe l am not in error in pre-
suming that the unhappy fate to which
my adverse fortune has led me is
not a surprise to those who have been
familiar with the progress of the war.
"The lessons taught with full
meaning, and which have recently
come to my knowledge, suggest with
irresistible force that complete ter
mination of hostilities and lasting
peace are not only desirable, but alb
solute.y essential to the welfare of the
Philippine islands.
"The Filipinos have never been dis
mayed at their weakness, nor have
they faltered in following the path
pointed out by their fortitude and
courage. The time has come, how
ever, in which they find their advance
along this path to be impeded by an
irresistible force which, while it re-
strains them, yet enlightens their
minds and opens to them another
course, presenting them the cause of
peace.
"This cause has been joyfully en-
braced by the majority of my fellow
countrymen, who have already united
around the glorious sovereign banner
of the United States.
"In this banner they repose their
trust and believe that under its pro-
lection the Filipino people will attain
all those promised liberties which
they are beginning to enjoy. The
country has declared Enthusiastically IL
favor of peace, So be 1t.
"There has been enough blood
enough tears and enough desolation
"This wish can not be ignored by
the men still in arms if they are ami
mated by desire to serve our noble
people, which has thus clearly mani
tested its will. So do l respect thi
will, now that it is known to me.
CATER mature deliberation | reso
lutely proclaim TO the Worlu OhaU

people longing for peace, nor the. la
mentations of thousands of familie
yearning to see their dear ones enjoy
