CUTICURA
 OINTMENT PureSt of EmOIIientS and Greatest of Skin Cures. The Most Wonderful Curative
 of All Time For Torturing, Disiguring
 Humours.

Cuticura Ointment is beyond question the most successful curative for tOrtur- ing, disfguring humours of the skin and scalp, including loss of hair, ever com pounded, in proof of which a single amounting with it, preceded by hot bath with Cuticura Soap, and followed in the severer cases by a dose of Cuti- cura Resolvent Pills. is often sufficient to afford immediate relief in the most distressing forms of itching, burning and scaly humours, permits rest and sleep, and points to a speedy cure when all other remedies fail. It is especially so in the treatment of infants and chiI- dren, cleansing, soothing and healing the most distressing of infantie hu- mours, and preserving, purifying and beautifying the skin, scalp and hair.
 Cuticura Ointment possesses, at the same time, the charm of satisfying the simple wants of the toilet, in caring for the skin, scalp, hair and hands from in fancy to age, far more effectually, agreeably and economically than the most expensive of toilet emollients. Its "Instant relief for skin-tortured babies, or "Sanative, antiseptic cleans ing" or "One-night treatment of the hands," or "Single treatment of the hair," or Use after athletics, cycling, golf, tennis, riding, sparring, or any sport, each in connection with the use of Cuticura Soap, is sufficient evidence of this.
 Millions now rely on Cuticura Soap, assisted by Cuticura Ointment, for pre- serving, purifying and beautifying the skin, for cleansing the scalp of crusts, scales and dandruff, and the stopping of falling hair, for softening, whitening and soothing red, rough and sore hands, for baby rashes, itchings and chafings, as well as for all purposes of the toilet, bath and nursery.

POSTOFFICE BRIBERY.
Charges Still Under Investiga-
tiOn at Omaha.

Omaha, Dec. 9.-The federal grand
jury today continued its. investiga ton
of Nebraska postoffice appointments,
that unde reconsideration being the al
legged conspiracy to bribe in connection
with the naming of a postmaster at
Alma. Former State Senator Elliott
Lowe was given an opportunity to tes-
tify and ]. 9. Thompson, who has act
ed as counsel for Postmaster Mitchell
of Alma, was also summoned to apss
pear.
DR.. w H. Banwell. who has twice
been before the jury, was another wit
ness today. He was called, it is stated
to corroborate the testimony given by
w r. Beddeo and former Postmaster
Billings of Alma. with regard to a trip
taken by him to Denver in company
with Senator Lowe and Beddo, and of
alleged negotiations for the appoint
ment.
In a signed statement DR.. Banwell
denies that the Denver trip had any
significance and says it was merely an
outing. He also denies being a party
to any money transactions in connec-
ton with the postoffice appointment at
Orleans.

DOWIE IN CONTROL.
Receivers of Zion City Property
Have Been Dismissed.

Chicago, Dec. 9.-John Alexander Dowie
IS again in control of Zion City and all It's
industries. This turn in the affairs OF the
head of the Christian Catholic church fol-
lowed financial showing which satisfied
all creditors, who Immediately made d
formal motion before Judge Kohlsaat to
nave the receivers appointed by the Uni
ted states district court week ago, dis
charged. AS no objection was offered 70
the motion by any of the creditors, Judge
kohlsaat granted the request and Re-
ceIvers Blount and Currier We're discharg-
ed. While the receivers have been re-
Heved from further duty at Zion City,
the bankruptcy proceedings are still main
tanned. 1t is likely, however, that these
will be dismissed in day or two, or as
soon as the creditors committee, appoint
on advisability of accepting Dowie's offer
of settlement.
This provides for the payment of all
merchandise accounts within one year
and the giving of notes in the meantime
bearing 5 per cent interest. BY the terms
of agreement Dowie has agreed to pay
all the expenses of the receivers. The re-
appeared to please all parties concerned
Dowie, who was in court with his rep
resentatives, appeared jubilant over the
turn in his financial affairs Attorney
Ettelson, who filed the original petition,
said he was agreeable to g discharge of
the receivers on terms which shall give
his clients an opportunity to get full pay
ment of their claims.
Attorney Apmadoc, representing the
only secured creditor, Samuel Stevenson
said his clients interests are now w6il
protected and there will be no occasion
for demanding an immediate indemnify
ing bond.

AGATE CLUB BANQUET.
Sidelights on Advertising Presented
by Members and Guests

Chicago, Dec. 9.-Sidelights on adver-
tising have been presented at the an
nual banquet of the Agate club, where
experts from various cities have been
assembled by the advertising represent
atives of Chicago newspapers and mag
azines, who compose the organization.
Average mankind is guided-is the
vietim-of suggestions" said George E.
Vincent, professor of sociology at the
University Of Chicago. You men have
a profound responsibility. for you make
the suggestions. am glad to say that
you do not wrongfully exercise that
power" Albert A. Pope, president of
the Pope company, said the failure of
the American Bicycle company-the
combine-was because it ceased adver-
tising at critical time.
D. NJ Lord of Chicago observed that
man might as well expect to maintain
steam in boiler without coal as to at
tempt to continue business created by
advertising, though dropping the ad-
vertising.
Lafayette Young. editor of the Des
Moines Capital. said continuous adver-
tising was necessary for the future sue
cess of any business firm.

BUTLER GOES FREE.
Supreme Court Releases st.
Louis Man Convicted Of Bribery.

Kansas City. Mo-, Dec. 9.-The su-
preme court today reversed the case of
Col. E. D. Butler, of St. Louis, con-
victed in November. 1902, of bribery and
sentenced to three years in the peniten-
tiary, and the prisoner was discharged.
The offense of which he was found
guilty was that of offering DR.. Chap
man, a member of the board of health
of the city of st. Louis $2,5 500 to award
a contract for the destruction of the
eity's garbage to the st. Louis Reduc-
tion company, of which Butler was a
part owner.
Indictments charging bribery in the
st. Louis lighting bill case are still
pending against Butler.
The court holds that the board of
health had no authority to let the gar
bage contracts, but that this power be-
1onged tc the board of public improve
ments. The board of health having no
authority to award this contract the
defendant could not bribe members to
do something which they had no au-
thor1ty to do.

FAILURE COMPLETE.
Langley Airship Takes a Head
er in the Potomac.

Washington, Dec. 9.-Under weather
conditions which were regarded as per-
feet the Langley airShip or aeroplane
has been given a second trial a short
Potomac. the result being the complete
wreck of the airship. Everything had
been in readiness for the trial for some
days so that it was felt that all that
was needed for the test was the right
sort of wind and weather. These con-
ditions presented themselves, and the
test was made under auspicious con-
ditions. On the word being given to
launch the aeroplane glided smoothly
along the launching tramway until the
end of the tramWay was reached when
on being left to itself the aeroplane
broke in two and turned completely
over, precipitating Prof Chas. M. Man
ley, who was operating it, into the icy
water beneath the tangled mass. A
number of launches containing news
paper men and others Immediately
steered for the spot. but before they
could reach Prof Manley one of his
assistants leaped overheard and
which the launching tramway was laid.
Prof. Langley was present to witness
the test, ana appeared crestfal1en when
he saw the product of months of study
and labor. combined with an enormous
expenditure of money, disappear be-
meath the water close to where he was
standing aboard a tug.
Prof Langley after witnessing the
disaster to the flying machine said that
the machine itself was not at fault.
The accident. in his opinion. was
caused by a defect of the launching
weakness in the machine itself.
Il want to say" he added. "that
greatly appreciate the efforts and
bravery of Mr.. Manley."

RITCHIE rs NOT READY.
Doesn't Want to Give Up ourbins
Contract.

The plan to widen Huntoon street be-
tween Jackson and Van Buren, and
cancel the paving contracts entered
into with Wall & HanIey, John Ritchie
and J. H. Maxwell may be blocked by
the refusal of John Ritchie to consent
to waive his contract for furnishing
eurbstones for this block
People living on that street petitioned
for a 30-foot pavement. Then the city
railway doubled its track, and practical
ly monopolized the whole 30 feet. Now
the property owners want to cancel the
30-foot paving contract, and build a
wider pavement The following agree
ment was drawn up for the contractors
who hold the job to sign:
ITO the city council: By request of
your honorable body, we the under
signed contractors that now have the
contracts for the paving of Huntoon
street from Jackson to Van Buren,,
hereby waive our claim to the contracts
as awarded to US by your honorable
body"
This document has been signed by
Wall & Hanley, and will be signed by
Maxwell, the grader. Ritchie is the
only one who declines He says he has
contracted for the curbstones necessary
to use on this block. and the stones are
now ready for shipment at Fort Scott.
What he wants is for somebody to
either take this stone off his hands, or
else agree to keep out of the curbstone
competition next spring on this block.

$4,000 to Zion City Octopus.

Pittsburg, Kas.. Dec. 81. K. Web
ster. formerly a prosperous farmer of
Cherokee county, who sold his farm
moving himself and family to Zion
City and embracing the John Alex
ander Dowie faith, wants to come back.
It IS stated by his son-in-law that he
realized about 81, 900 from his holdings,
all Of which he threw into the general
fund for the Dowie work, and now
since the bursting of the bubble he is
left where he was about thirty years
ago-withorIt a dollar in his pocket and
in the decline of life. He accompanied
Dowie on his trip to New York which
proved SO disastrous to the Zion City
interests. "I and my wife, said the
son-in-law, begged of him to keep his
farm and drop the notion of being so
foolish, but he would not listen to US.
He is willing to let go now though, for
he has sent to me for money enough to-
come back to Kansas. but then he will
come back without a cent

COOKE IS UNDECIDED.
He Hasn't Accepted Governor
ship Of Leavenw0rth Home.

Washington, Dec. st is stated hero
today on the authority of a member of
the national board of managers for
soldiers homes, that Sydney Cooke has
not definitely accepted the governor
ship of the Soldiers Home at Leaven--
worth, as was reported on Saturday
when the national board adjourned. 1t
is very probable, however, that he will
accept the place.
He has returned to Kansas and if he
can arrange some business matters at
Herington, to his satisfaction, there is
little doubt but that he will take it, 1t
will perhaps be two three months be-
fore he will decide definitely.
This will mean of course delay in ap-
pointment of successor to Col. Cooke
on national board managers. John Sea-
ton of Atcfison is a candidate for this
place and Calderhead would like to
have it. The Kansas delegation has
endorsed nobody as yet. Judging from
pasts experiences it doesn't matter
much anyway.

Judge Fischer Delivers Instruc-
tions to Grand Jury.

Kansas City, Mo-, Dec. 9.-When the
grand jury called to investigate alleged
boodling in Kansas City, Kan. met to-
day, Judge Fischer of the district court,
gave explicit instructions regarding its
work.
For years. said he. "it has been
commonly rumored and often openly
charged, that public officers of the city
of Kansas City, Kan, were in the habit
of soliciting and receiving bribes. In
this community there has grown to be
d sentiment that pare municipal gov
ernment is an unobtainable thing; that
corruption in Office is conventional
crime that every man has his price
Such a condition OF affairs Is appalling
and demoralIzlng and no good citizen
will refuse to assist in eradicating it.
There Is no offense more despicable
than the betrayal of a public trust for
private gain.
Let no bribe giver, or bribe taker
OF corrupt public official escape"
The instructions call for the investi-
CATION of the prohibitory law, as well
as malfeasance in office. Attorney Cen
eral Coleman of Kansas, was present in
court and will take charge of the in
veStigation.

The crime for which Lowe will be
tried was comitted on Sunday, June %,
1902. at the State Reform school. ]. c.
Lowe and his wife, Fanny Lowe were
employed a the institution. At about 9
O'Clock Sunday morning five shots were
heard IN the room occupied by Mr.. and
Mrs Lowe The night watchman,
Smith, was the first to reach the room
He saw Mrs. Lowe lying on the floor
She had been shot twice in the abdo-
men Mr.. Lowe was walking up and
DOWN the room Blood was streaming
down his face from flesh wound in
his head. The revolver, used in the
shooting, was found in the room Mrs
Lowe was taken to Storfnont hospital
and Mr.. Lowe was arrested and placed
in the county Jail Mrs. Lowe died the
next day. She made a statement before
her death that the shooting was an ac-
cident.
In the defense of Lowe an attempt
was made to prove that he was subiecs
to insane spells and that at various
times he had threatened to take his own
lie and that he had attempted suicide
on several occasions. The theory of the
defense was that Lowe tried to commit
suicide and that his wife attempted to
prevent him from doing so and was ac-
cidentally shot. Lowe was known to be
very Jealous of his wife and at the first
trial it was proven that he had mis-
treated her by striking. her. Lowe
charged his wife with receiving the at
tentions of men at the Reform school.
The testimony revealed the fact that
loves suspicious of his wife were un-
founded. Before being employed at the
Reform school Lowe was a school
teacher in Linn county and served one
term as county superintendent.
Several of the witnesses, used by the
prosecution, at the first trial have left
the Reform schools and it will not be
possible to secure them for iris trial
One Of the witnesses is Timothy
Struthers. who Is now in the state of
Washington
A special venire of 40 5urymen was
ordered drawn for the case as 1t is ex-
pected that some difficulty will be ex-
perienced in securing a jury to try the
case The special venire is as follows:

Says 1t Makes Heavy Burden

What Has Been Done and Ii
TINE TO CALL HALT.
What Has Been Done and LIS
Being Done This Year.

Mayor w. S. Bergundthal will fight
all paving construction in the year 1904.
He says the city can't afford to pave
any more for the present.
Only one thing will be excepted by
Mayor Bergundthal in his warfare on
paving, and that is the paving of a
few alleys, where the improvement is
badly needed. But it is almost certain
that if the city council tries to pass
any paving ordinances for next year.
they will have to be passed over the
mayors veto. It is very doubtful
whether enough councilmen win favor
paving to make this possible. So in
all probability, Topeka will take rest
in the paving business.
Not a single street should be paved
next year. said Mayor Bergundthal
today, except those which are already
contracted for. We have enough of
those left over to keep a good many
men busy. But if we let down the bars
for single block of paving, we will
not be able to put them up again until
the usual rush has passed the council.
There are few alleys which the coun-
Gil now has under consideration which
need to be paved, and which will not
cost the city much of anything. These
am willing to let go through, but no
streets shall be paved with my consent,
while it is true that go per cent of
the cost of paving comes directly out
of the pockets of the people living on
the street, 1t is also true that the other
40 per cent must be paid by the city.
The payment of this 40 per cent is
what is making our tax levy so large
If people want the tax levy kept down,
the paving must stop. The more we
pave the higher the tax levy will have
to go to cover the cost"
There is stiIl over half of this years
work to be carried over into next year.
All of the paving contractors will have
to be granted an extension of time on
their contracts: Ramsey & Ramsey
are only about one-third through with
the work they undertook to do and
have applied for an extension of their
time to July 1, 1904. The time limit on
all the paving work expires December
Is, and under the contracts, the city
could from that time until the compile
tien OF the pavement charge $40 day
penalty for each contract. But this is
never done. The city simply extends
the time of the contract. unless it can
be shown that there has been an inten-
tiortaI delay in the work on the part of
the contractor. This year the trouble
was caused principally by the flood,
which drowned out the brick works and
made it difficult for a long time to get
any sand.
The following shows the number of
square yards of paving completed this
wear by each of the three contractors,
and the approximate number of square
Carried
