TO START A SCHOOL.
Chicago Polish Priests Here to
Look Over Lands.

Brothers Leo and Anthony two Polish
priests from Chicago, are in Topeka to-
day investigating vacant lands in Kan
sas with a view to establishing an in
dustrial school for Polish orphan boys.
They wish to secure tract of land of
considerable size, not only with a view
to supporting their school and giving
the boys in their charge something to
do, but they also wish to colonize
around the school Poles from the cities,
where conditions of life are hard
They visited the state house today to
secure all the information possible
about vacant school lands and the pro-
cesses necessary to secure title to Them
They secured a copy of the list of all
the vacant school lands in the state,
and will proceed to investigate condi-
tons in different localities
1t is the desire of the priests to secure
their land and locate their school in
locality where it will be possible for
their people to at least make a living.
They are impelled by a motive of phil
anthropy, and they wish to get the
Poles who now come to America and
settle in congested quarters of the large
cities to move out upon farms where
they can support themselves and be-
come useful citizens. They will estab-
fish their orphans mechanical training
school as a nucleus for the settlement,
and around it will gather those of their
countrymen whom they can persuade
to leave the cities.

SEVEN KILLED.
Athens Chief of Police Wounded
and Resigns.

Athens, Nov. 22.-The commander of
the gen d'armes and the project of po-
lice have resigned.
General VasSoS has been placed in
command of the armed forces.
Twenty thousand persons assembled
around the ruins in the Temple of
Jupiter Olympus and took part in a
demonstration organized by the stu
dents against the proposal to translate
the gospels into modern Greek. A reso-
luton was passed calling on the Holy
Synod to excommunicate any person
who translated the gospels into Greek
as now spoken. Eight hundred marines
were landed and co-operated with the
troops in patrolling the locality.
In encounters between the military
and the crowd seven persons were kill
ed, thirty were severely wounded and
many others were slightly injured.
Several shots were fired at NJ. Theoto-
kis, the Greek premier.
Opposition deputies paraded the
streets during the day, exciting the
rioters by violent languages.
Strong military attachments guard
the palace and the residence of the
premier. The bodies of the dead were
handed over to their relatives

arrived at the university, but the build
ing is still guarded by the students who

CANTON CONES FIRST.
In the Matter of Memorial to Presi-
dent McKinIev.

| Cleveland, O.. Nov 22-The executive
committee of the Mckinley National
Monument association after lengthy
| session at the office of Senator Hanna
issued the following statement:
AT a meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the Mckinley National Me-
mortal association held in Cleveland,
the secretary, Ryerson Ritchey, sub
Union showing gratifying success and
the appeal to the people to provide
funds for memorial at Canton is
meeting with very general and hearty
response. A plan for future work was
outlined and the same will be pushed
vigorously to completion. Reports re-
ceived indicate that auxiliary organi-
cations have already been perfected in
nearly all states of the Union
THE expression of sentiment from
every quarter of the country indicates
that the people desire to make the erec-
ton of monument at the home of
President Mckinley their first duty, as
1T is well known he often expressed to
his family and friends his desire to be
buried at Canton. where already reDoSe
the remains of his children, and where
his beloved wife will rest when she has
departed this life In Difference to this
sentiment, as we'll as to the propriety
of the occasion, as evidenced in the
monuments provided for the 1amented
Lincoln and Garfield, it will be the
purpose of the association to carry for
ward the work of providing for such a
memorial at his home. Should more
funds be subscribed than are necessary
for the purpose of erecting memorial
compatible with the dignity and sim
plicity of the late presidents life and
character, any surplus will be devoted
to national memorial at Washington.
"A letter from Secretary Gage, treas
urer of the Washington Arch associa-
ton, to Senator Hanna, was laid be-
fore the committee, but the questions
involved in the communication were re-
ferred to the board of trustees at their
meeting to be held at Washington, De-
cember Z, when it is hoped that any
possible differences may be adjusted.
1t was the sentiment of the members
of the committee present that provision
for a suitable memorial at Canton was
the first duty to be performed.
This purpose is believed to be in ac-
cordance with the wishes of the family
and near personal friends of the presi-
deQt'

FIXED THE MINISTER.
And He Needed Looking After.

In a minister's family in Los
Angeles where I was visiting sometime
ago, the wife complained of serious in
digestion and dyspepsia. She admitted
that she used coffee and said she more
than half believed that was the trouble
1 told her that knew it was the trou-
BILE, for I had gone through with the
experience myself and had only been
cured when left off coffee and took
up Postum Food Coffee.
She said she had tried the Postum
both for herself and her husband but
they did not like it. With her permits
sion, made Postum next morning nv
self, and boiled it full fifteen minutes
after the real boiling of the pot began.
Then when it was served, it was a rich,
deep brown color and had the true
navor and food value that every Pos
tum maker knows It is all folly to talk
about trying to make Postum with one
or two minutes sleeping
You can't get something good for
nothing 1t must be boiled boiled boil
ed, and to keep it from boiling over
use small lump or butter, perhaps twice
the size or a pea That morning the
minister and his wife liked Postum so
we'll that their whole lives were changed
on the question of diet and they ADAM
ooned coffee at once and for all time
Now after a hard days work, they
are comforted, refreshed, and rested by
q cup of Well-made Postum for supper
They are both enthusiastic in its praise.

PIGEONS ARE A PEST.
Occupants of the Thompson Block
Are Greatly Worried.

There may be a chance for the To-
peka Gun club to offer the public some
thing strictly novel and unique in the
line of Thanksgiving day shoots.
People who live in the Thompson
block, on Quincy street, between Sixth
and Seventh streets, have appealed to
the city to protect them from a flock of
200 pigeons which are proving to be the
biggest nuisance that ever infested that
part of town.
II want to get permission to shoot
them, said a woman who called on
Mayor Hughes yesterday to protest.
1T is against the law for you to
shoot inside the city limits said the
mayor.
well, but you can give me permit .
said the woman.
Not a bit of it," replied the 1aayor.
Nobody but the council can repeal an
ordinance
'"Then the chief of police can give me
a permit
NO. said the chief executive of To-
peka, mot even the chief of police can
issue permits to shoot firearms inside
the city limits
The mayor put his head g. into his
hands and pondered. AT last AN ideo
struck him. He lit a cigarette. Then
the solution came easier.
I'VE can swear in some of the crack
shots of Topeka to kill the pigeons for
you," he said. "How would it do to
A1Aor>C opCCidl pOilConleH Ol ali the 10
peka Gun club members, and let them
hold their Thanksgiving day shoot
down on Quincy street?''
Apparently. this is about the only
way to rid the city of the pest of pig
cons. The Thompson block is just op-
posite one of the farmers feed yards,
and the pigeons flock there to pick up
grain. Attempts have been made to
put poisoned wheat on the roof of the
Thompson building, but the pigeons fill
up on the feed yard refuse, and turn
up their beaks at Thompson block
wheat with strychnine dressing At
tempts have been made to trap Them
but the pigeons are too foxy for that
No one claims to own the birds so
nobody can be held responsible for their
deDredations.
So great an annoyance have the birds
become, that the people who live in the
Thompson block claim that if no other
way can be found for disposing of tie
the board of health ought to
declare them a nuisance, and appoint
some sanitary officers with shotguns to
abate them.
