broken pane of glass after them, when
they fed.
The night force at the place were too
scared TO tell how it all happened, but it
appears that a bunch of bullying negroes
went into the saloon about 1 O'Clock and
called for the drinks. They insisted
that the bar keeper short changed them
and he, in order to avoid trouble. gave
them what they said they were short
They still insisted that he had not paid
them in fun and became abusive.
The restaurant walters came TO the as
sistance Of The barkeeper ard chased the
negroes out. No sooner had they reached
the street than they began picking bricks
from pile of building material and began
to lombard the place. one Of them as

bricks went the entire length of the room
and made marks on the rear wall.
There were two or three customers at
the lunch counter and they had 10 fall

Wichita Woman Who Looks Out for
Reai Estate Esargtine


Mrs Thomas Costello. life Of the well
known Santa F'e engineer. purchased two
residence houses on the corner OF Dewey
and Market streets yesterday. They cost
her Sl,Sg9, and on that amount are yield
ing more than y per cent Some OF her
friends were telling her yesterday that
she got the houses for nothing, as the
lots were worth what she paid for the
entire property; and what they said isn't
far from the truth Mrs. Costello has
developed considerable real estate talent
during the past month. She started out
then IN search Of real estate bargains in
which to invest a few thousand dollars
she had no immediate use for. and it has
been the JOY Of her husband TO watch her
progress. He says she has talked nothing
but real estate to him for four weeks. and
he is willing to bet that she knows more
about the value OF lots in all parts of the
city than half the real estate dealers.
Mrs. Costello is a born diplomat and
there is a hearty welcome for her in every
real estate Office in town.
Mrs. Costello isn't done buying yet;

watch and he failed to come to the sur

Fatal Plunge-Baby Falls Thirty Feet
and Is Only Bruise i.

Judge Elliott, Of Milwaukee, handed
down a batch of important decisions be-
lore leaving for his vacation. The most
important to the State is one declaring
the inheritance tax law of 1899 valid.
inns decision was rendered on test ease
brought by the heirs of the John Back
estate, on an appeal from the decision
Oh Judge Wallber of the County Court,
ordering them to pay an Inheritance tax
OF So,o4I. The court said that the ques-
ton OF the constitutionaliry of an inhcri-
lance law discriminating between prop
erty to be taxed was no longer an open
one, having been settled by the Supreme
Court III decision cited. In conclusion,
the court ordered the tax to be paid.
The ruling of the court is highly impor-
tant, as other estates were awaiting Il
decision i'll the Black case before paying
the tax.

One of the most remarkable escapes
from death ever recorded i'll Kenosha
was that of Leroy Huff, the 3-year-old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Huff. The
child, while playing in third-story Win
dow, fell to the ground below, a distance
of fully thirty feet, and escaped with a
slight bruise on one leg. Three feet in
front of the house runs a sharp picket
fence, and directly under the window a
pointed post. Had the child struck
either in its descent it would have been
impaled.

Men Who Chase After Fires.

The latest thing for fire insurance
agents to do is to be on the spot look
ing for new business While the old bust
vassers of a New England company be-
gan to make money so rapidly few
months ago that some of his competi-
tors tried to find out how he did it.
They learned that he made spe-
cialty of following the fire engines, and
if the fire happened to be in tene-
ment house or fiat he waited until the
flames were subdued and reaped har-
vest by insuring the other tenants and
neighbors Hosts of people are apt to
be so badly scared by fire near their
home that if not insured they are glad
to take out policies on the spot. 1t
didn't take the other agents long to
catch on. and it is said that the other
day after a fire twenty-one agents
wrote seventy policies in the immediate
neighborhood.
1T Is a great scheme" said one of
these agents yesterday. "All one has
to do is to hit the iron while it is hot.
Don't talk insurance to any of the ten
ants or neighbors while the fire is go
ing on, because they are likely to be
too excited to think of anything but
their personal safety. When every
thing is quieted down and the fire en-
gines are going away is the time to
jump in with your proposition. Chi

NOT DUE TO CLIMATE. Catarrh Is Found Everywhere.

Catarrh is at home anywhere and every where While more common in cold, changeable climates, it is by no means con fined to them, but is prevalent in every state and territory in the Union.
 The common definition of catarrh is a chronic cold in the head, which if long neglected often destroys the sense of smell and hearing; but there are many other forms of the disease, even more obstinate and dangerous.
 Catarrh of the throat and bronchial tubes as we'll as catarrh of the stomach and liver are almost as common as nasal catarrh and generally more difficult to cure.
 Catarrh is undoubtedly a blood disease and can only be successfully eradicated by an internal treatment; sprays, washes and powders are useless as far as reaching the real seat of the disease Is concerned.
 Dr. McIverney advises catarrh sufferers to use new preparation, sold by druggists called Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, because actual anaylsis has shown these tablets to contain certain antl-septc qualities of the highest value and being an internal reme- dy. pleasant to the taste, convenient and harmless, can be used as freely as required, as we'll for children as for adults.
 An attorney and public speaker who had been a catarrh sufferer for years, says:
 .'Every fall would catch a cold which would settle in my head and throat and hang on all winter long, and every winter it seemed to get a little worse I was con tinually clearing my throat and my voice became affected to such an extent as to interfere with my public speaking
 q tried troches and cheap cough cures and sometimes got relief, but only for a short time until this winter when I learn ed of the new catarrh cure, Stuart's Ca- tarrh Tablets, through newspaper adver- tisement Two fifty cent boxes which I bought at my druggists, cleared my head and throat in fine shape and to guard against a return of my old trouble I keep a box of the tablets on hand and when ever I catch a little cold l take tablet or two and ward off any serious develop ments."
 Stuart's Catarrh Tablets deserves to head the list as a household remedy, to check and break up coughs and colds, because unlike many other catarrh and cough cures these tablets contain no opiate, cocaine or any injurious drug.

PlNcREE coNTRADIcTED.
Steamship Men Say They Did Want
 Spanish Prisoner Contract.

New York, January 4.-Steamship men in this city discussed today the statement of former Governor Pingree that the down. fall of former Secretary of War Alger dated from the time that he opposed the bids of the transatlantic lines for carry ing the Spanish prisoners of war to Spain from the Philippines, Porto Rico and Cuba MT. Pingree says that there was combina- tion of the steamship interests to charge twice as much as was finally paid to the Spanish craft.
 MT. Pingree's statement is absolute non- sense," said Emil L. Boaz, of the Ham, burg-American Line, today There was no combination, and none of the trans-At- lantic lines wanted to carry the Spaniards. I said at the time that the best thing the United States could do would be to award the contract to the Spanish line, for the reason that the governments responsibdl-
