TRUST DEAL IS OFF.
Plan to Organize Gigantic
Creamery Combine Fails.


A Kansas City morning paper today
prints a story that G. H. Pattison and
John S. Parks have enlarged the Cont
mental Creamery company of Topeka to
take in all the large creamery companies
of the country. The story is that the en-
larged company will be known as the Ma
tional Creamery company and that 1t will
be capitalized for is million dollars; that
Mr.. Pattison will be the vice president and
general manager on a salary of $4,000
with headquarters in New York, while Mr.
Parks will be manager of the western end
of the concern, on a salary of 10000, with
headquarters in Chicago.
Mr.. Parks, who is president of the Con-
tlnental company, empnaticaIly denies the
has been accomplished.
1T is true that Mr.. PattisOn WAS work
ing on the organization of a big eastern
company to handle the bi-products Of our
creamery business" Mr.. Parks said today,
but it has fallen through. Mr.. Pattison
has moved to New York, but he has gone
there the eastern selling agent for the
Continental Creamery company, and that
alone. The story published in the Kansas
City paper is entirely incorrect and have
already asked its correction"

KEARNEY co. BOND CASE
It Is on Trial Before Judge Philips in
Kansas City,

Kansas City, Jan. 21.-The old case
against Kearney county, Kan. in which
the plaintiffs sue to recover on $35, 900
of county warrants, is on trial in the
federal court here before Judge Phillips.
The plaintiffs are Louise NJ. Irvine, of
Missouri, and Coffin & Stanton, of New
York. They are the purchasers of $685.
600 of county bonds issued to pay war
rants which were themselves issued in
payment for building roads, furnishing
supplies, occupying records, etc.
The county, through the county
court, resists the payment on the ground
that the warrants were Illegally issued
for the reason that the work for which
they were issued was never done. There
being no consideration, the county
claims it should not be called upon to
pay.
The federal court has once declared
that the bonds were void for the reason
that they were issued within one year
from the time the county was organ
lied This is independently of any ques-
ton of consideration. The plaintiffs now
argue that having bought the bonds,
they are entitled to be subrogated on
the warrants.
Wash Adams, of this city. and Milton
Brown, of Topeka, represent the plain
tiffs. Rossington, Smith & Histed,
of Topeka, represent the defendant

They always talk through their cures.
A backache always means kidney
trouble.
The beginning is always the back
ache.
The ending may be Bright's disease.
Read the following case of a Topeka
citizen, who found the remedy in time:
Mr. Joseph Voytek, cabinet maker of
213 West Sixth street says: II had
kidney trouble for four or five years
coming on me gradually and causing
me a great deal of suffering. Later on
a severe attack of the grip left my kid
neys in a much weaker state and in the
mornings my back hurt me so acutely
that I could hardly get out of bed, and
felt tired and unrefreshed. If I unthink-
ingly stopped or attempted to lift any
thing sharp twinges of pain caught me
in the back almost making me ex-
claim. I procured Doan's Kidney Pills
at Rowley & Shows drug store and the
promptness with which they acted was
very pleasant to me. They took away
all the pain and restored me to normal

FIGHT WITH BURGLARS.
Policeman Mortally Wounded
but Winged His Man.

San Francisco. Jan. 21.-At an early
hour this morning Patrolman Eugene
c. Robinson, of the Southern station,
was mortally wounded by three burg
lars whom he surprised in the act of
breaking into hardware store on Va
lencia street near Sixteenth. One of the
trio of safe crackers, supposed to be F.
DAILY, was badly wounded by shot
from the policemans pistol, and captur-
ed. Robinson discovered the burglars
just as they were entering the store
and crossed the street to arrest them,
calling upon them to surrender as he
did so. They opened fire upon him sim
ultaneously and three bullets struck the
policeman in the abdomen. AS he fell
he opened fire with his revolver and
struck one of the burglars, who ran
into the arms of another policeman at
tracted to the scene by the shots. The
other two men escaped. The wounded
burglar was taken to the city hospital,
while the dying policeman was convey
ed to the receiving hospital. Daily re-
fused to tell who were his companions.
Robinson died in few hours after
having been taken to the hospital. Daily

suits from his wound.

SUGAR TRUSTS FRIENDS.

Mr.. A. B. Farquhar, head of a firm of
agricultural implement makers at York,
pa, has written an open letter to the
ways and means committee in favor of
reciprocity with Cuba. in which he calls
attention to several interesting facts.
One is that the present protest from the
beet sugar people is inconsistent with
their recent professions. In 1899 Mr..
Henry Oxnard, president, and w. B.
Cutting, secretary of the American beet
sugar company. issued a letter in which
they declared that sugar can be pro-
duced cheaper here than it can in Eu-
rope"
To substantiate this they cited the
fact that the cost of a ton OF beets at
their factory, under existing contracts,
was 81 and the total expense of making
it into sugar was So, that there was
a net profit of SO ton at free trade
prices. or 43 per cent The object of this
was to induce farmers to raise sugar
beets, by demonstrating that even with
free sugar there was a good profit in
the business, and it should not be dis
continued. There is no apparent reason
why this argument should not be equal
Iy forcible now To the plea that the
sugar trust Is back of the demand for
reciprocity with Cuba, Mr.. Farquhar
makes this answer:
We are not infrequently treated to
the assertion that lowering the duty
on Cuban sugar will not bring greater
gains to the Cuban growers, but that
the lions share will fall to the sugar
trust That corporation occupies a
singular position in our politics. Every
body appeals with confidence to its as
sumed unpopuiarity; everybody expects
approval for this or that scheme which
he claims will diminish its profits, or
calls down denunciation on the other
scheme which is certain to enhance
them; yet, meantime, no one, by any
chance, undertakes to effect the only
means of really cutting down it's gains,
taking off a part of the impost on re-
fined sugar. Both great parties seem
alike in this. The sugar trust seems to
hold both in its grasp. The Mckinley
bill made raw sugar free, but allowed a
generous duty on refined; the Wilson
bill dealt gently with sugar refining;
the Dingley bill was not behind it's pre-
decessors in Difference to the same pow
erful interest And yet, to Judge from
the general trend of talk on the sub
5ect, one would think that it had not a

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

Blood will tell-but the less some
blood tells the better.
The hot-corn dealer is the one who
has to put up another margin.
The man who makes a fool of himself
seldom boasts of being self-made.
II young man is really in love he

No man is ever perfectly sure of

Occasionally a woman uses a ham,
mer to drive a tack-if there is no hair
brush handy.
The vegetable dealer is apt to get into
a peck of trouble when his measure
falls short of the standard.
The lazy man consoles himself with
the shop-worn adage about the race not
always being to the swift.
Time waits for no man, but man has
to wait at least an hour when a woman
tells him to wait just a second.

SCALE DOWN EXPENSES.
Three of Five Sanitary officers Will
Be DISCHARGED.

Three of the five sanitary policemen are
to be dropped by Mayor Parker in the in
terest of economy. Mcclure and Jones are
certain to lose their Jobs and the third
man will be either Hill or Hostetler.
Coddington will be retained. Mr.. Cod
dington is the father-in-law of James s.
Warner, and has done good work as
sanitary officer
The fight between Hill and Hostetler is
rather peculiar. Hostetler wrote a letter
few days ago to Mayor Parker, stating
that he believed that Mr.. Parker was
rightfully elected and should have the
right to name new officials. He therefore
rendered his resignation, to take erect
whenever Mr.. Parker should desire. This
act won him a place in Mr.. Parker's heart
and would have resulted in keeping him
safe in his position sanitary officer had
not a few of HilPs friends started a fire
under Mr. Hostetler They declared that
Hostetler had fought Warner in the pri-
marieS and Parker in the election. and
that his protestations of friendship were
made simply to soIidify himself with his
job. Mr. HIS friends alleged that Hill
worked for Warner in the primaries, but
then stood by the party nominee, Mr.:
Hughes. Perhaps neither Hostetler or Hill
will get the place.
