ABOUT 5000 MEN.
Gov. Taft Says That Number
Will Suffice in Philippines.

San Francisco, Jan. 22-Regarding a
standing army in the Philippines Gov
ernor Taft is reported by the Call to
have said:
Fifteen thousand men will be an am
pie force in the islands before the close
of the year. was told this only a few
days before I came away. Officers thor
oughly versed in the situation gave me
the figures.
II viii explain to you how peace can
be maintained in the islands. We have
organized a native conStabulary, which
is working efficiently. Congress allows
us to maintain constabulary of 5000
men. They are under the command OF
Major Allen, who has already enlisted
500 men in this branch of the service.
When the force is fully organized the
men will be distributed in the province,
$50 men to each province. The detach-
mentS of constableS are commanded by
four officers, three of whom are retired
volunteer officers and the other a ma
tive Filipino. When the constabulary IS
fully equipped it will be detailed in the
field to clean out the Ladrones who are
intimidating the natives. These Fill
pinos constableS can be maintained by
the government at a cost of $3.50 each
year while the soldiers in the islands
cost Uncle Sam about 1000 a head
Il know the Pacific people would like
to see free trade instituted between this
country and the islands," said the gov
ernor, but / am sorry to say that
cannot see how it would work.
1.-The civil government adopted a
tariff schedule which is working well,
but our international revenue receipts
are not large. When you tax a coun-
try too heavily you spoil it, and that is
the situation in the Philippines.
I'VE have asked that the Dingley
tariff be reduced for the products of the
islands at least 30 per cent. We hope
that congress will be as generous to the
Philippines as it was to Porto Rico.
The reduction of the Dingley tariff will
mean the opening up of a large mar
ket for tobacco and sugar of the islands
as we'll as for other products there.
Hemp you need, and are buying in
larger quantities every day. By SO re-
ducing the Dingley tariff a good market
for the Pacific coast will be opened
up"
Governor Taft said that there had
been no serious clash between the mill
tary authorities, and declared that the
best of good feeling existed between
himself and General Chaffee.
This evening Governor Taft will be
the guest of honor at reception to be
rendered him by the Union League
club, in which the chamber of COM
merce, board of trade and other organ

Perhaps Coffee is Getting Its Work
In On You.

People who think they can digest cof-
fee and yet are sick half the time might
learn valuable lesson in health and
get some happiness out of life if they
would make up their minds to quit cof-
fee and take Postum Food Coffee.
You can trace the results so accurate
ly as to leave no possible doubt of the
cause of the sickness and the reasons
for the return of health.
A lady from Blue Mount, Miss, gives
her experience. She says, "I always
used to drink milk but in 'Ss I went
down to the southern part of the state
to teach school and boarded in family
of coffee drinkers. I began drinking
one half cup at meal The habit
grew on me and increased the amount.
Gradually became nervous, my COM
plexion grew sallow and yellow and
finally my stomach would frequently
throw off the food. 1 gradually ate less
and less, depending upon the coffee to
keep me up. Finally I concluded that
the trouble was malaria, and the doctor
advised me to leave that part of the
country. So 1 went back up to the hills
in the hope of getting better. Instead
of that I got worse. Palpitation of the
heart set in and 1 got SO weak I could
scarcely work.
I took great many remedies but
found no relief. I went to the noun
tains in California for two months
without improvement. I was thorough

Al THE PLAY LAST NIGHT.

Dr. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde was the pro
duction at the Crawford last night. Fred
rick Clarke played the part of the change
able Mr.. JelSyll-Hyde, and the way he dis
torted his features was enough to bring on
an attack of old age. When he would take
a dose of the miraculous medicine he
would take a few preliminary tumbes on
the floor to arrange his front hair a la
Jekyu or Hyde. as the case may be. His

and Hyde His grand coupe in the fifth
and last act consisted of taking the form
of Hyde and having all kinds of amuse-
ment by smashing a collection of pickle
and beer bottles in his alleged laboratory.
and then going over to the other side of
the stage where there were no fragments
of glass. to die in the form of his better
half" Some of the characters were ex-
tremely short on redeeming qualities, but
the audience should always bear in mind
the show looks like two pair, to-wit: dimes
and nickels. One of the most oblig0g and
versatile people in the cast was William
Morris, who was the vicar in the first act,
and kindly allowed Mr. Hyde to smite
him the head with club. Exit Mr..
Morris until the second act, when he dis
cusses his own murder with Mr. Heubner,
who is slated Inspector Newcomer, who
plays Mr.. Seek against DR.. JekylPs Mr..
Hyde. Mr.. Morris appears for the third
time in a neat trapeZe swing and baancing
act between curtains. Last night Mr..
Euebner gave a ladies' watch to the holder
of a certain number which in this case
was sol. and Mrs Anna Peck held the
lucky number. One of these watches will
be given away each night this week.

No Offer Made on Behalf Of
Capital City.
THEY DON'T LIKE 1T.
John Schmidt Resents the Slap
at Topeka.
Says This is the Time Demo-
Gratis Should Come.

John Schmidt, the Democratic wheel
horse, in common with many other citi-
zens of Topeka, is very much displeased
because the Democrats voted to hold
their state convention at Wichita
Il know of no reason" said Mr..
Schmidt last night, why the conven-
ton should have been taken away from
Topeka Just about the time that we
have shown the Democrats that we are
on earth and just as a Democrat has
been installed as mayor of Topeka,
they take the convention to Repub-
Gcan town.
Topeka is really the only town in the
state that can properly care for a con-
vention like that of the Democrats. We
have the only auditorium in the state
worthy the name: our hotel facilities
can not be beaten, and we are in bet
ter shape than ever before to take care
of a convention.
"It looks to me as if the Republican
elem ent was in control in the meeting
of the Democratic committee. and that
things were run to suit them, but
guess that Topeka can stand it
But while we are talking of con-
ventions, it must not be forgotten that
the most important convention of all
is in session here-the grocers. They
represent the state commercial inter
ests, and will do the city more good
than a half dozen political conventions.
Topeka is coming to the front as com
nercld1 center, ana the more 6nC6rpr1S-
ing business men we can get here the
better. 1 think that we should go
right out into the field and make an
effort to secure every meeting of busi-
ness men possible. 1t is that class of
people who build up a town, and we
can not get too m any of them.''
There is a general feeling of disap-
pointment because the people believe
that the Democratic convention was
practically allowed to slip between To-
peka's fingers. They say that while
Wichita was on the ground to make a
fight for the convention Topeka stood
idly by and watched the important
meeting drift away. 1t is said with
good reason that there is no reason
why a city so inaccessible as Wichita
should be chosen as a place for a state
convention. Topeka built a handsome
and most expensive auditorium just for
conventions, and the very first oppor-
tunity to put it to use is allowed to
slip.
Major Anderson, secretary of the
Commercial club, says that the reason
no effort was made to secure the con-
vention was because it was found that
Wichita would make a lash offer to
the committee for the convention. 1T
was discussed said Major Anderson,
land we decided that we would not en-
ter the field to bid on the convention.
1t was not overlooked. 1t was simply
a question of cas1."
1t is understood that Wichita gave
$40O for the convention.

YALE-HARVARD FUSS.
Athletic Agreement Between Two
Colleges May Be Severed.

Cambridge, Mass, Jan. 22.-It is un-
derstood at Cambridge that the propos-
ed plans for another five years agree
ment between Harvard and Yale are
not progressing smoothly. The unoff-
cial story is as follows:
Harvard has proposed to Yale five
years agreement with arbitration to
decide all questions of eligibility, but
Yale is unwilling to accept this. Yale
wishes five years agreement with
each college playing under its own
rules. Harvard does not favor this,
claiming that Yale's eligibility rules
may be entirely changed during the
next five years under her present sys-
tenn of undergraduates control of ath-
leticS.
Harvard does not think it fair to bind
herself to an agreement by which Yale
could play men who would not be eligi-
BILE at Harvard. The cases of Orourke
of the Yale football team, and Spraker,
of the track team. are cited on this
point
It seems possible that a. yearly agree
ment may be made unless Yale shossfd
consent to an arbitration committee
which is generally considered at Har-
ward to be perfectly fair and for the
best interests of sports

RIOT BROKE OUT.
A Fight ON Board Steamer Co.
lOmbia at Panama.

San Francisco, Cal, Jan. 22.-News
has been received by the steamer Argyll
that a riot broke out on the Pacific
Steam Navigation company's steamer
Columbia at Panama on Christmas day,
and that several members of the crew
were perhaps fatally, or at least dan
gerously, wounded. The Columbia was
on the way down the coast to Valpa-
rajso from this port and through the
kindness of Captain Hughes nearly
every member of the crew composed
principally of Chi1eans and Peruvians,
celebrated Christmas by imbibing free
ly of wine.
Details of the fracas that resulted on
board the big passenger steamer Will
not be available for some time. but
people on the Argyll and on shore at
Panama heard many shots fired and
saw the flash of many knives on the
Columbia, and Captain Hughes is re-
ported to have rushed along the decks
armed with a gun, making efforts to
quell the riot that had broken out.
There is no report of any details as a
result of the fighting.

WILL FIX 1T UP.
Finishing Touches to Be Put on Fed
eral Building.

A short time ago Cyrus Leland. who
is custodian of the federal building as
well as pension agent, wrote to Wash
ington advising that a governm ent
architect be sent to Topeka to draw
specifications as to the painting and re-
pairs necessary on the federal building.
The United States court room and the
private office of Judge Hook and the
judges chambers need painting, and
Mr.. Leland advised that this be done
before the April term of the United
States court opens.
In reply to this letter, John Young,
superintendent of construction of gov
ernment buildings, has come to To-
peka, and is making specifications for
the painting of the court room and
judges rooms, and the contract for do
ing the work will be let in a short time
He will also go over the building care
fully and make specifications for re
pairing the building in a thorough
manner, and will make contracts for
doing that work later

the Light Fantastic.

New Haven, Conn, Jan. 22.-The an
nual Junior promenade at Yale was held
this year in the Second regiment ar

it is estimated that between 900 and 700
couples danced. Forty-one dances were
on the programme. Several others were
added as extras and encores. At mid
night a supper was served. The dance
concludes the promenade week festivi-
