a big brown pie, very juicy and very
hot The absence Of beef steak is
evident when you cut the pie, but you
ind inside a liberal sprinkling Of
sleeps liver, onions and turnips and
a plentiful supply Of grayey. For a
half-penny extra two aices u bread

CALLS IT A WILD CAT.
That Is What Mr.. Church Says of
Old Wayne Insurance Co.

Complaints have come into the office
of State Superintendent of Insurance
Church about the business methods of
the Old Wayne Mutual Life Insurance
company, of Indianapolis. The Old
Wayne is not licensed to do business in
Kansas and is therefore classed as
working Underground"
The complaints state that an agent of
the company has taken their money and
has not issued policies to them in rea-
sonable time.
Superintendent Church says the Old
Wayne is a wildcat concern that has
poor rating in its own state; that it
slips In and solicitis business in Kansas
without taking out a state license and
schemes to evade the law. He says to
proceed against the company would ne
cessitate going to Indiana with the suit
and the best thing for people to do is to
do busiress with duly licensed compa-
MES. Some Of the insurance taken by
the old Wayne has been written in To-
peka.

St. Louis, April 27.-In the contest pro-
ceedings of Geo. w. Parker. Republican

1t is. further alleged that in numerous
precincts many Parker votes were not
counted for him: that thousands of Par
l1er ballots were unlawfully rejected;
that Parker ballots We're extracted from
the ballot boxes and replaced with Wells
ballots; that there was a wholesale fraud
ulent registration, and finally that in q
precincts the legally certified Republican

Others under the protection of the pO-
lice who elected the real judges and

relations for the benefit of the Cubans.
The president replied that nothing
could be done on economic lines until
the present questions We're settled; that
it would be necessary for the Cubans to
form government before any negotia-

the delegation that as soon as the Gu
ban government was formed he would
appoint a commission to consider eco
nomic relations.
