Once in Congress, Now a Cook

Edward r. Ridgely, who retired
from the office of Representative
from the Third Kansas district on
March 4, 1901, is today cooking
and working for his board and a
place to sleep in Lawton, o. II.
When Mr., Ridgely was elected
to Congress in 1896, he owned a
half interest in a mercantile bust
ness in Pittsburg, Kansas, but he
sold his share to his brother; when
he left the Office he had little mo-
ney and no profession to fall back
upon. He lived in Pittsburg for
time, without doing anything,
and finally drifted to the Kiowa
country in search Of a place and
opportunity to begin life again.
Mr.. Ridgley was found in Law
ton last week by Col. Frederick
Oonelson, who had been one of his
political supporters in former
years. Col Donelson says that
v ion he saw Mr.. Ridgley the for
mer Representative had Just re-
turned from an GRAND for the gro
Ger who gives him his board. He
was carrying a large piece Of ice
in sack on his back.
The former Representative said
he had been offered chance to
sleep in the grocery wagon and a
job of cooking and running er-
rands for his board He said the
accommodations were not as good
as he had had, but he could not
complain, and was looking for
chance to make fortune.-[ To-
peka letter to the New York

Quite a number of churches
were censured for not sending up
their church books to be examin-
ed
Temperance and the observance
of the Sabbath were emphasized
in very strong terms. The men,
bers were urged to take our church
paper and 10 buy and read it some
at least, of our many good books.

sized and the first week in Noveln-
Der, beginning with the first Sun

Why 0steopathy is Popular.


1t is fact that the osteopath in
a few weeks or months obtains a
standing with the best people in
his community that it would take
a physician years to acquire.
The reasons for this arc many
and obvious. In the first place
the theory Of the science of oste-
opathy is rational aud common
sense one. There is nothing vague,
mysterious, OF occult about it; but
being based upon the laws OF ma
ture, it commends itself to the un-
prepared and thinking mind.
Another thing that tends to pop
ularize it is the plain and reason
able system Of charges usually adj
opted by the osteopath-a system
whereby the patient Is enabled to
tell approxom ately what it is 60
ing to cost him to regain health.
The treatment is undertaken with
the knowledge tn at there will be
no bill for medicine, extra visits,
ETC., at the final reckoning.
Almost every one dislikes to
take medicine. There is hardly an
adult to be found who has not ma.
ny times been depressed and sick

ed in the name of the school of
healing to which his doctor be-
longs as he is in the fact that he
can do what he claims to do. 1t
is by this standard that osteopathy
asks to be judged. While the
claim is not made for it that it is
a cure-all, or that it has eliminated
death from the world, yet the fact
remains that it has brought health
and vigor to the body and cheer to
the heart of many an invalid from
whom all hope had vanished for
ever.

Secret Archives Captured IN Lu.o.
Tell the story OF His
Perhdy

Murat Halstead has made an anal.
ysis of the Filipino archives captured
when Aguinaldo and his cabinet fed
from Malolos in the spring of 1899.
The result of this study is a reveIa-
ton Of Aguinaldo's character that
places him before the American pub
lie in an entirely new light. Among
the documents captured were MANY
of Aguinaldo's private papers and let
ters from the Spanish authorities in
Manila, written after Dewey's vic
tory and before the capturs of the
city. There are the minutes of the
so-called Filipino republic, proclama-
tions, private instructions and OFF,
cial reports.
These various papers prove from
Filipino sources that Aguipaldo plot
ted treachery against the United
States and in favor of Spain before
the fall of Manila, that he was u,
correspondence with the Spanish
Gen. Augustin. There are letters
proving that Aguinaldo wrote after
the battle of Manila and before the
capture of the city that he had the
hope of preserving from the ship

THE SITUATION I'm CUBA.
Compliance with the PIatt Amend
ment Must BE the Ont
come.

The new hitch in the Cuban case is
to be regretted, but it has been
brought about by the Cubans them
selves, and doubtless will soon be re-
moved by them. In the acceptance of
the Platt amendment by the Havana
constitutional convention there was
an addenda which gives different in
depreciation to one or two of the pro-
visions of the amendment than the
letter of that measure will permit.
The visiting delegation of Cubans mis-
understood Secretary Root in his ex-
PLANTATION of some of the provisions of
the Platt terms, and their notion got
into the proceedings of the convention
at the time the terms were accepted.
Ihey evidently supposed that the pres
ldent and the secretary of war intend
ed to remove some of the rigors of the
stIpulations as set forth in the amend
ment, and they gave this idea to their
colleagues in the convention. In this
way the constitution trainers obtained
an erroneous view of the situation, ana
this is reflected in their acceptance of
the terms.
What the Cubans have been told
now by Secretary Root is that the
