KANSAS.

Topeka, kas., April 4.-The muni- cipal elections ili Kansas this year have be-n of much more than the usual interest. Mrs. Nations crusade and the subsequent widespread re- yi,al of interest in the enforcement Cf pToh ihition combined to make the city elections the battlefelds upon which. in large measure, would de- pend the ultimate fate of the prohib- ;tory law. The results of the various elections over the state, Tuesday, serse to show that the prohibitory sentiment is still in the ascendancy. In Atchison and ieayenworth the tenn perancc issue was not brought up. city improvements ana other ques. tions taking rhe precedence. In Wich- 1ta the temperance people made a hghi for supreI1acy, but boiled only about IS per cent. of the vote. Nu- nerous cities went straight republi- can. In nearly every case the republi- can candidates were law-enforcement people. and their election can there fore be counted victory for that element.
 hlhert Parker. democrat, was elect e mayor of Topeka over Hughes. re- publican. by the small majority of II votes. The vote was so close on may ar that the result was in doubt until the final count was received Wednes- Gay morning. The republican elected the oaianee of the ticket with the exception of one council man. Hughes ran considerably behind the rest of Inc ticket on account of the bitter fight at the republican primaries, many of the republicans opposed to Eis noIairrtion voting for Parker.

CONGRESSMAN BOTKIN is one of the most influential and best
 known men in the State of Kansas. Whatever he may say on any subject will be accepted by the people as the truth. So famous remedy as Peruna could not have well escaped the atten- tion of so famous man. He not only has heard of the remedy, but he has used it and was relieved of an affiiction of twenty-five years standing. Peruna Is the one internal remedy that cures chronic catarrh. It cures catarrh wherever located. This is a fact that the people are rapidly finding out, but there are still large multitude who need to know it.
 MT. Frank Richter, of Winona, Minn., says in letter to The Peruna Medi- cine Company:
 ''As a remedy for catarrh I take pleasure in recommending Peruna for catarrh of the stomach. l know what 1t is to be afflicted with this awful dis ease and consider 1t my duty to say n word in behalf of the remedy which gave me such relief. Peruna cured me. and know 1t will cure anyone else who suffers from this disease. It gives me great pleasure to testify to the cura-
 
 a we'll tested and frequently used rem edy, and for catarrh of the stomach is unsurpassed.
 My catarrh was principally located in my head and stomach. tried many remedies without success. I tried sev- eral doctors, but they were unable to cure me. I read of Peruna in the pa- pers and five bottles cured me. ."- Frank Richter.
 The gastric juice is secreted by the mucous follicles of the stomach. When this juice is normal it digests (dissolves) the food without produc- ing any disturbance whatever. If. however, the gastric juice Is not nor nal, digestion causes many disagree able symptoms. This condition is known as indigestion. Peruna will cure this.

ILLINOIS.

Chicago, April 4.-- Carter H. Harri- son has been elected mayor of Chica- % for tho third time and will next week commence his third term as the chief executive of the city. His off cial plurality over Judge Elbridgc Hanecy. the republican nominee, is in the neighbofhood of 2s.5oo votes.
 The total vote of the city, with a few precincts 10 hear from, is: Harri- son, 1s5.a75: Hanecy. I2T,2o2; Harri- soi's plurality, 2s.013.
 Out of the B wards of the city, Harrison carried 36 md IIanecy nine. The vote was badly split, some of the strongest republican parts of the city giying only n small plurality for the party nominee, and some of them go- ing for Harrison. who. however, sui fercd in some of the democratic strongho!ds.
 The new city coancii. which prob ably will he called upon to decide the question of the extension of the street railway franchises and other public grants worth many millions. is repub- lean by majority of ten votes. As . resul. of Tuesdays election the council will be niade up of 3e repub- hcanA, 29 democrats, ? independent re- pnhlicans and z independent demo- crats. This makes a total of 9. or two more than are provided for by law, the tangle being caused by the recent ward redisfricting and the con- scGuent shifting of two holdover al- slermen in the Second and Twenty first wards. The new council and the courts will be called upon to decide the problem.
 According to leaders of both par tics. The conncil probably will be or gnnised on non-partisan lines. Th. will be ;n accordance with the policy of Mayor Harrison and of the Muni- cipal Voters league. a non-partisan organization which has been prom fnent ia recent local campaigns.

THE DIFFICULTY IN COREA.
United states Mtnister Allen Cables that It Hns Been SatisfRc-
 torily Adjusted.

Washington. April IA cablegram has been received at the state depart ment from United States Minister Allen, al Seoul, stating briefly that the McLeavy Brown difficulty has been satisfactorily adjusted. Brown was an Englishman charged with the management of the Corean customs department, and il was reported that he had been removed under Russian influence. Although Mir. Allen does not state directly the basis of settle ment, it is known that his sympathies were strongly with Brown, so it is believed that the official must have been reinstated.
 The immediate result of this set tlement is to remove what promised to be an ugly issue between the Unit ed States and Russia. for the Ameri- can minister's report shows clearly that Browns removal would have seriously injured American commer- cial interests in Cores.

Chicago. April 4.-George II. Phil lips, whose daring operations in grain have made him the exposure of all speculative eyes interested in the cereal markets. passed a crisis in his career on the board of trade. He was driven from the wheat pit. the weak est of his defenses. but stood firm be- hind the breastworks of corn and oats he has thrown up during the past few weeks.
 Monday call for additional mar gins was made and the young specu- lator put up ~220.000. Tuesday it was reported that an additional call would be made Wednesday, and that tre- mendous onslaught calculated to force him to the wall would be made by big operators. Al the top of tho opening gong the attack came. Phil lips produced S2O0.000 additional mar gin money in response to the second call. Severely pressed he retract ed from the wheat pit after selling T. 500.000 bushels of May wheat at loss, which will probably average 1L cents per bushel. May wheat opened F cent to 1@s cents under Monday at 137s cents to 73 cents under the de- luge of sales. but steadied at the de cline. The corn market, in which Phillips is said to be interested to the extent of eight or ten million bushels broke 3, of cent to 1R cents at the opening. selling stimuli taneously from 42s4 cents to 42 cents  first ten minutes was enormous. but the market received spirited support from the young bull leader, who ab- sorbed heavy lines through brokers. Weak longs scrambled to get out from under what they thought to be a crumbling market, but others ral- lied to Phillips side. The first out burst over. trade became less excit- ed and May corn worked gradually back to 43 cents. In oats the attack was also strenuous. int again Phil lips. holding a line estimated at J. GOO, 900 bushels, defended himself with great spirit and the opening loss of F cent was nearly all recovered dur ing the first hour.
 Other markets. notably St. Louis were weakened. Tuesday, by the bears in preparation for the fight here. i. is said. A decline at Liverpool, it waa also reported. was in a measure due to manipulation from this side.
 The five members of the commis sion took the oath of office at tn. state department and received their commissions
 From 42 cents May corn. on later trading. reacted to 40H cents. Profit taking by shorts and buying for turn caused a rally from this to i23s cents. The closing price was 4lM cents, IFS cents under Mondays close. May wheat closed two cents lower at 72as and 72hz cents after hav- ing touched 71ss cents. May oats closed 24 and H- cents depressed at 24H cents. The afternoon had been as trying as the earlier part of the day to Phillips. but he retired from the floor apparently cool and confi- dent. The market" he said, need ed d shake-up.'
