According to the central COMMITTEES
of scrutiny allow myself to assure you
that the election was practically unan-

only in a few provinces. The convic-
ton here Is that the vote taken repre-
sents the will of the people by an i'm
mense majority"
The president-elect said: There are
two things which I shall ever strive to
accomplish. The most important IS to
strengthen the cordial relations existing
between the republic of Cuba and the
United States OF America
1.-THE other object will be to conduct
an economical administration and I'M

Everett Moore Failure Created No
Surprise in New York.

New York, Jan.3-The troubles of the
Everett Moore syndicate did not come
as a surprise to Wall street bankers,
says the Press. Bankers here say that
those interested are principally small
investors and banks throughout Michi-
gan, Ohio and Indiana and that only
indirectly will eastern financiers feel the
effect of the passing of the trolley lines
into the hands of bankers.
Interest coupons of some of the COM
panies in the Everett-Moore syndica tie
were paid In this city yesterday by
Kean, VanCortlandt & Co., bankers, of
this city. At that office it was said that
the firms only interest in the syndicate
was to act as fiscal agent for some of
the companies which the syndicate con-
trolled; that it had none of the securl-
ties.
The syndicate's attempt to build line
parallel to the Lake Shore, a part of
the New York Central system, from
that the New York Central manage
ment intended to buy out this opposi-
ton. 1t was asserted here, however,
that failure to sell to the Lake Shore
has caused the financial difficulties of
the EverettMoore syndicate man.
ayers.
Local interest was aroused by the re-
ports from Cleveland, because Edward
W. Moore is a director Of the Phoenix
National bank. 1t was explained that
the syndicate directly or indirectly did
not owe the bank one dollar, and the
banks officers had not even seen any
of the syndicate's securities.N
Mr.. Moore's position as a Wall street
banker was also explained by saying
that the banks management had con-
Sidered him as q man who probably
would bring business to the bank. For
that reason his name was added to the
directory year ago this month. Rut
Mr.. Moore did nothing more than open
a small personal account with the bank.
On account of his absence from the
city he has been unable to even attend
any of the meetings of the board of di-
rectorS

STEPHENS A CANDIDATE.
Another Topeka Negro in Race For
Minister to HaytL

James H Guy will not have a walk
away in his candidacy for the post of
minister to Hayti. He has an opponent
in Edward Stephens, founder of the negro
industrial institute in South Topeka
Mr.. Stephens has a peculiar claim to the
job. His mother was a native of Hayd
and he himself is a great grand nephew
Of the famous Iiberator Toussaint
L Ouverture. He claims to be acquainted
with both republics on the island. He
speaks their languages, knows their Gus
toms and is acquainted with some of the
leading men on the island. He is one of
the best educated negroes in the west,
having been educated in Paris, Germany
and Scotland.
Mr.. Guy has the start of Mr.. Stephens
in that he is more of practical politician
and already has a large number of in
dorsements. Speaking Of Blooms" for the
place stephens says:
''Of course no one can hinder politicians
from puttering for any nincompoop
nonentity, but the Haytians are self-re-
speeding people. Especially from the Uni.
ted States, which claims the hegemony of
the western continent, do they look for
respectable representative from among its
best citizens. Such one must be sent
or this government will be Inundated by
being cl1rtly told by those so-caned semi
barbarians: Persona non gratar "

PETRIFIEs THE BODY.
New Embalming Fluid Superior to
Kind Egyptians Used.

Memphis, Tenn, Jan. 3.-The Memphis
Medical college has for several weeks
been experimenting with an embalming
fluid for which great possibilities are
predicted 1t is asserted that this dis
covery is superior to the embalming
preparation used by the Egyptians, for
while the infusion will preserve the sub
ject for all time humanity speaking, as
did that of the ancients, it prevents the
shriveling up that was inseparable from
Egyptian embalming, and it does not
call for the swaths and bandages in
which all Egyptian mummies were en-
cased.
The principal experiment up to this
time has been upon the body of dog,
which was treated thirty days ago. To-
day it looks as natural as in life. 1t is
rigid, but in perfectly natural pose
There is no trace of odor about it, nor
is there any other visible sign of de-
cay Tests of fluids have been made by
the demonstration at the Memphis col
lege, and he is so well convinced of its
practical utility that he will use 1t Tor
the preservation of all the cadavers
used in the college.
The fluid petrifies the body. Neither
arsenic nor strychnine is used in the
preparation.

PRUITT WILL BE NAMED.
Governor Selects Montgomery For
Sheriff Test Case.

Governor Stanley has announced that
he will appoint a sheriff in Montgomery
county in order to make a test case OF
whether or not the sheriffs can hold on.
The Republicans of Montgomery coun-
ty have concentrated on WilliamsPruitt
as the proper man for the place, and he
will be named by the governor. The
county now has a Populist sheriff.
As stated in the State Journal last
week Governor Stanley will not make
the appointment until January 13, the
date on which the term of the present
sheriff expires. He says there will be
no vacancy until that time and he can
not make an appointment until there
is a vacancy.
AS soon as the appointment is made
Mr.. Pruttt will make a demand upon
the present sheriff for the office. The
demand will probably be refused and
the Republicans will then bring quo
Warranto proceedings in the supreme
court to get possession of the office
In case the appointee is successful
Governor Stanley will have to name a
sheT1n in every county in Kansas. In
counties where a Republican is serv-
Ing his first term he can name the pres
ent incumbent, but if the supreme court
decides a vacancy exists 1t will be i'm
possible to reappoint sheriffs who are
serving their second terms even though
they are Republicans, for a sheriff is
prohibited from serving more than two
consecutive terms.

hN ELEUIkIU LINE
One Proposed From Topeka to
Eskridge.
Commercial Club to Consider the
Question.
SERVICE is NOW POOR.
Country to Be Reached Has Few
Railroad Facilities.
HarVeyViIle People Are Pushing
the Scheme.
SERVICE is NOW POOR.

"A project is on foot to secure the con-
struction of an interurban electric rail-
way connecting Topeka with Eskridge,
Harveyville, Burlingame and other
towns intermediate.
The movement has been given an i'm
petus in Wabaunsee county, and
through the efforts of Mrs. E. w. Crumb
of Harveyville the idea has taken firm
hold of the minds of the people of the
vicinity and it is reported that the SEN
timent is fat growing in favor of the
project
The discussion of the project in the
territory named ends in the belief that
Euchta line to Topeka will be profitable
and feasible, and that it will give the
people of this territory much better
connection with the capital city that
win result alike in good to the city of
Topeka and the patrons along the line
THE cooperation of the Topeka Com
mercial club is needed to plant the pro-
ject firmly on its feet" writes one of
the promoters Of the idea to a friend In
Topeka THE present railway service
on the Alma branch as well as on the
Missouri Pacific is useless to Topeka
The project will be presented to the
members of the Commercial club at the
meeting next Wednesday night for con-
sheraton 1t is not unlikely that a
large per cent of the capital necessary
for the building of such line will be
subscribed here.
With the necessary local township
and county aid the contemplated line
could be built advantageously. The ter
ritory to be traverSed, according to the
projected plan is sadly in need of better
railway accommodations. Through a
territory about forty miles wide lying
to the southwest of Topeka the only
railroads that cross it are northwest,
southeast roads. The Rock Island
forms the boundary to this territory on
the north and the Santa F'e on the
south, but between these two roads
that are abouG forty miles apart is a
rich territory that should be able to
support a railway line to Topeka.
The projected road might reach as far
as Council Grove or Strong City. An
excellent field lies open in that terri
tory.
This part of Kansas I believe will
some day be among the very richest of
territories" said Major T. J. Anderson,
and the construction of such a line it
seems should be a profitable invest

GRIMES WILL PAY.
Soon Ready to Take Up Not Paid
Warrants

One month from today State Treasurer
Grimes will begin to pay the outstanding
warrants which are stamped mot paid for
want of funds" and they will cease to
bear interest after that date. Treasurer
Grimes has issued a formal notice to peo-
pie holding such warrants that he will re-
deem them February 8. There are
about $500, 900 of such warrants outstand-
ing which bear per cent interest from
the time they are stamped until notice is
given that they can be collected. Those
now outstanding are the ones which were
presented for payment from the. general
revenue fund from October 1 until in De
cember, at which time enough money had
accumulated to again begin payment as
fast as warrants were presented. The
state taxes which have been coming in
will be sufficient in short time to re-
deem all those outstanding well as to
keep up the current expenses.
