A Poisonous Drug Still Freely Used.

Many people are brought up to be-

and the strong hold that the drug has

its grip even when one realizes its in
furious effects.
A lady in Baraboo, writes: ct had

HANGS ON TO DIGNITY.
That and Money Is All Colombia
Wants Out of Canal Situation.

New York, July 14-President Mario
Quin, of this republic, last month decid-
ed to ascertain the opinion of the 18TH
milan residents regarding the canal
in having the business satisfactorily
settled, says a Herald dispatch from
Panama, Colombia. He instructed Gov
ernor Salazar of this department to ap-
point five prominent citizens here to
study the matter carefully.
The committee rendered a report
which was almost unanimous except
on some trif1ing points. This report is
probably already in the hands of Presi-
dent Marroquin, having been forwarded
to Bogota some time ago.
So far as it is possible to ascertain,
the salient points of the anwers in SUBJ
stance are:
The gentlemen of this committee not
only consider it convenient but en-
phatically declare that it is urgent to
authorize without unnecessary delay
the new Panama Canal company to
transfer to the United States the con-
cession it holds to build the interoceanic
canal through Colombian territory.
They suggest prompt government ac-
ton with prudent tact, but advise ac-
celebrating the pending negotiation in
order to bring to fruition the United
States preference for the prompt con-
struction of the canal over the Panama
route. Colombia would act in suicidal
manner if. by objectionable neglect or
want of diplomatic ability on the part
pose on the United States governn emit
the alternative of choosing the rival OF
Nicaraguan route.
The practical successful solution or
the most important problem of the CEN
fury, the report continues, has now be-
come an indispensable necessity I'm
necessary delays and uncalled for senti-
ment should not compromise Colombia's
future or the prosperity of the Isthmus
of Panama, which would become the
| commercial route of the world.
| The members of the committee believe
| Colombia should gratuitously permit
| the canal con pany to transfer to the
| Unied States its concession bearing in
| mind not only the tremendous losses
| the original French shareholders already
| have sustained and the Millions of francs
| paid by the company to the Bogota
| government at different times. but also
| the indisputable fact that the United
| States engineers have been Influenced
| in their selection of the Panama route
! over all others principally on account
| of the amount of practical work a1read y
i done on both sides of the isthmus, es-
| pecially the Cu1ebra cut
In the committees opinion very
/ liberal and reasonable concession should
be granted to the United States pro-
vided the sovereignty and dignity of
I the republic of Colombia is maintained

THE WALLACE SHOW.
What the Advance Man Says Of Its

What the Advance Man Says Of Its
Success.
The first big circus of the season to
visit Topeka will be the Wallace show
on Wednesday, July %.
The advance man says: The show is
such a mammoth aggregation that it is
compelled to visit points of the coun-
try where it is sure of liberal patron
age. This fact requires it to travel from
10000 to 10000 miles annually. visiting
only the big cities and the larger towns
which are surrounded by productive
territory. But whether it be in an east
ern city or in the prosperous town on
western prairie, the Wallace show is
fully capable of pleasing the crowds in
either place Even in Washington City,
D. c., the home of the official dignitar-
les and political aristocrats of the ma
ton, a place where some people might
great Wallace show was unable to ac-
commodate the crowds. The Washing
ton Post said:
IF there is any city which is better
show town than the national capital, it
is not down on the map. The Wallace
show pleased two big throngs yester-
day, many people being turned away.
The circus was a success. both for the
management and for those who wanted
good entertainment. The city was turn
ed over almost entirely to the big at
traction. The programme commenced
promptly and in earnest from the start.
No one but the child whose first visit it
was to a circus could possibly tell all
that was done. Hardly anything could
have been more wonderful than their
acrobatic features.

WHAT THE CITY COLLECTS.
Revenues Outside of Direct Taxes
Amount to $27,O Per Annum.


Aside from taxes, the city of Topeka
has an annual income, available for
current expenses of about $27 900 year.
This is quite a neat sum, but the city
uses it all up, and needs more every
year. The city officials are now try
ing to devise some way to increase the
revenues and decrease the expenses. If
they can do that, the financial troubles
of Topeka will be ended.
At the request of Mayor Parker and
the ways and means committee, City
Treasurer M. M. Hale has completed
some interesting tabulations showing
that the average monthly revenue of
the city of Topeka, exclusive of the tax
eS received from the county treasurer,
is $2,251.77. This represents the receipts
of the general improvement and general
revenue funds, which are available for
current expenses.
The total amount received for the six
months ending June 80, as shown in the
report, is $13, 510.63. The largest income
was from the police court fines, which
netted $7,52075. Next came the insur-
ance companies which paid in licenses
the sum of $1,735. The food inspector
collected $1,254.25 from the meat COM
panies which ship meat into the city.
Dog tax receipts have amounted to
Sits.
Some of the receipts have not been
up to what is considered the proper
mark. AuctioneerS have paid only $50. 25
in licenses; pawn shops have paid only
$50 and hucksters have put up only
$43.15. The belief is that these sums
ought to be considerably more.
The items on Mr.. Hale's report are as

used 165 sets of iron crossing plates,
which cost $40 a set when furnished by
NJ w. Gilmore, and $649 a set when fur
nished by others. The contracts have
been let for building SO catch basins
in the new paven emit Ramsey & Ram
sey will build part of them at $14 and

who is accused of knowledge Of the
shooting of Miss Maude Holmes.
Arthur Ryno and family live north
east of Canton and are very retiring
people. They never visit anyone ana
no one ever visits them Mr.. Ryno has
always had the reputation of being ex-
tremely queer.
The rumor is out and is vouched for
by his own relatives that for the past
three months Mr.. Ryno has slept out III
the barn and has kept shotgun with
him all the time. 1t is also stated that
in the past year he has forbidden his
family to get his mail at any time, ana
has always received it himself

to go out driving with him. Miss
Holmes spoke up and said that she was
not in the habit of going buggy riding
or keeping company with strangers, and
she wanted him to go away and mind
his own business. RynO tried many
ways to get her to go with him. but she
declined them all.
dog of Holmes was poisoned and it is
almost proven that Ryno was the man
who poisoned it, The druggist says
about that time Ryno- bought poison
of him and signed up for it. They also
found some meat with poison on that
the dog had not eaten, and 1t proved
to be the sane kind of poison that
Ryno had purchased.
The theory is that Ryno had fallen in
love with Miss Holmes some time ago
and had since tormented her with let
tiers and visits. But seeing that she
would have nothing to do with him and
being jealous of Charles Sadie he wished
to take out his revenge in this way.
The Holmes family say that Charles
Sadie had nothing to do with the shoot
ing scrape. However, Mr.. Sadie was
keeping company with Miss Holmes at
the time and is n constant waiter and
helper at the bedside of Miss Holmes at
the present time. He is doing all in his
power to save her life, and is more than
anxious to have the guilty man punish
ed Miss Nellie Holmes, who swore out
the warrant for Ryno, says that she is
positive that he is the guilty man and
that Charles Sadie had nothing what
ever to do with the shooting.
