FUMIGATION DELAYED.
People Compelled to Remain in Quar-
antine After Release Order.

The board of health officials say that
they are swanped with demands for
house fumigations, and that it ism
their fault that people are obliged to
stay in quarantine for a week or so
after their physicians have ordered them
released.
Half dozen houses which were or
dered fumigated last week are still I'M
der guard, simply because the depart
ment has not had time to do the work
The city of Topeka spends about $1,000
a month on its health department, I'M
der DIR. c. Z. Judd's administration as
city physician, and still it can not at
ford more than one fumigating appar-
atus. The necessary parephernalia for
another fumigating plant would proba-
bly, cost about So. There is some talk or
making this important purchase, and
Fastening the work somewhat.
Will Thompson makes a vigorous
complaint because his family was or
dered released from quarantine last
Sunday, and is unable to get the health
department to fumigate the house and
raise the ban. Mr.. Thompson lives at
230 Clay street and scarlet fever has
been in the family for a month.
There are numerous other cases which
are ahead of Thompson, and according
to Dr. Judd's method of doing the work,
Mr.. Thompson's case viii have to wait
several days longer till the department
gets around to it.
No blame is attached to the sanitary
officer, Mr. Hill, who attends to the
fumigs tons. He is doing all he can
with the means given him by the city
physician. He works nearly every night
till 10 O'Clock.

STRIKE IS IMMINENT.
Illinois Coal Miners and Opera
tors Can't Agree on Wages.

Peoria, ILL.,, March 12.-The situation
between the United Mine Workers and
the coal operators association regard
ing the wage scale for the ensuing year
in the Illinois district is considered ex-
tremely critical by members of both
bodies, and an order to strike is hourly
expected. The scale had been in the
hands of the joint scale committee of
the two bodies for the past two weeks
and latter1y in the hands of sub
committee, which reported its inability
to reach an agreement to the joint
convention this morning. The points
upon which the present differences hang
are a raise in wages claimed by the
miners, ranging from to Il cents a ton
in the various districts, and conditions
under which work is to be performed.
The powder question has been compro-
missed by agreement to buy powder of
the operators at $1.75 or less per keg.

COMPROMISE ON CUBA.
Twenty Per Cent Reduction for
Two Years, the Terms.


Washington, March 12.-There are in
dications that the Republicans of the
house will compromise on Cuban re-
ciprocity, the basis being a 20 per cent
reduction to continue for two years.
Leaders on both sides have been con-
ferring during the afternoon with
view of reaching an agreem ent on these
lines. The overtures of compromise are
to be considered by three Republicans
from each side, namely: For the ways
and means-Chairman Payne, Represen-
tatives Dalzell-and Cannon; for the OPP
position to the ways and means-Repre-
sentative Dick, (Ohio); Fordney (Mich)
and Morris (Minn.).
The meeting had not been held at 2: 40
but was expected to take place very
shortly. Representative Dick expressed
the belief that with the Republican
membership almost evenly divided the
time had come for compromise instead
of determination. He thought the
chances were good for an agreement
The opposition to the ways and means
committee has gone into conference in
the committee room of VIM Alden
Smith to consider the compromise over
lures

WIFE'S INGENUITY
Saves Her Husband.

The author of the Degeneration of
Dorothy" Mr. Franklin T<insella, 226 w.
25th St, New York city, was the victim
of a little by-play-but he can best tell
the story himself. Il must confess that
l have been the victim of an innocent
deception which turned out all for the
best, however.
1 had been resting under the belief,
for some years, that coffee served as a
lubricant to my cerebral convolutionS,
in other words, made the wheels go
round, and / had an idea that could
not work without it as a stimulant.
1 soon paid the penalty in nervous
ness, loss of flesh, insomnia and rest
1essness, none of which troubles would
yield to any or all medicines. finally
got in rather a bad way and my wife
took a hand in the affair all unknown
to me. She purchased a package of
Postum Coffee and first gave me one
half Postum and one-half coffee. In q
little time she had me down to clear
Postum, and 1 was none the wiser
I noticed that I was getting better,
my nerves were steadier, and I began
to gain flesh and sleep nights. My work
was performed far better than in my
old condition.
Commenting upon my greatly inn
proved health one morning I was told
the truth. 'Tis to laugh, SO I submit
ted gracefully and Joined the Postum
ranks.
Experience teaches that boiling is
one-half the game When the directions
are carried out the result will be as
fine a cup of rich,s fragrant coffee as
ever delighted the senses without ruin
ing the nerves.
