a woman. Then, 1 think l should
not have done so had she been truth
full and treated us with any degree
of respect. She was wealthy and
naughty, and, after she had abused
us as only hot-blooded woman can
abuse anyone, l, being a kind of lead
er on this scout, concluded that if
there was anything about the prem
ises that would be of use to us, we
would appropriate it for that pur-
pose.
My battery team was getting
rather thin with hard labor and
short rations, and l had noticed .
large barn before entering the house
that looked as though there might be
horses in it. l put the question to
her:
Have you any horses"
mo, we have none"
What is that big barn for, if you
have no horses to put in it?"
"Oh, we had horses before the
war!"
Il suppose they are now in the
confederate service?' | remarked.
That, sir, l consider is none of
your business, and you will please
trouble me with no more of your i'm
pertinence, SIR" she replied very dis
painfully.
Very well, madam" l said. Come
on, boys; we will see what is in that
barn without troubling the madam
to answer any more questions"
On entering the barn, the first
thing that greeted my vision was a
splendid pair of carriage horses. I
laid my hands on them and turned to
the boys, who were following closely.
Boys, these are mine!"
Several made EXPLANATIONS of sur
prise.
you understand" 1 emphasized,
these are mine; whatever else you
may find you are welcome to, as far
as 1 am concerned" and led them
from the barn.
The lady came out and pleaded
piteously for her carriage team. But
it was of no use then. If she had
treated us with respect we would not
have molested her property. | told
her there was my battery team; all
they needed to make a good carriage
team was a little feeding up, and
would trade with her. | unhitched
my shadows, hitched on the noble
pair, led the relieved pair into the
barn, and tied them. The trade was
made.
After we returned to camp, the
captain, noticing the improvement in
my team, asked:
where did you get that team?"
"Traded for it, sir. Pretty fine
team, isn't it, captain?"
Noble animals, sir. Pretty fine
team, yes. But where did you get
them? Who did you get them of?
How did you trade?" he questioned
'Well, sir, 1 got them at fine
plantation we visited to-day, of "A
lady, and l gave my team for them,
even up"
"Was the lady willing to trade?"
''Well, we held quite a conversation
over the matter, and l brought the
team away with me-"
Didn't the woman protest against
letting you bring them away?"
81 didn't ask her"
81 think, sir, you will have the
pleasure of returning that team to
the owner in the morning." said he,
somewhat sternly. 'We can't allow
such work.
"All right, captain, if you say so.''
But when morning came the cap
tain did not enforce the order, and
determined not to carry it out unless
had to do so.

Puerto Cabello, Feb. 25.-The Ven.
ezuelan gunboat Restaurador, which
was captured by the Germans, was
handed over by them to Venezuela
yesterday.
At II o'clock yesterday morning
Commander Chalbaud, accompanied
by an interpreter and the German COM
modore, Scheder, went on board the
Restaurador, which is now lying in
this harbor, in order to effect the de-
livery of the ship to Venezuela. At
11:30 o'clock the German flag was
lowered, the German cruiser Vineta
firing salute as the colors were
brought down. At o'clock in the af-
ternoon the Restaurador hoiseted the
Venezuelan flag and was then handed
over to Commander Chalbaud by Com
modore Scheder. The Vineta immedi-
ately steamed out of port.

m tue enorr to obtaM from Mr. Bow.
en- the immediate payment in cash of
the $500 which it was provided in
the protocol of Feb. 13 should be paid
to Germany thirty days from that
date, Germany yesterday requested
Mr.. Bowen to give q draft for the
amount payable in Caracas on the lat
ter date.
Mr.. Bowen was again forced to de-
cline this request, which he did po-
litely, at the same time reminding
Herr Baltazzi that he was bound by
the terms OF the protocol, which pro-
vided that the G5,500 should be paid
at Caracas on the 18th day of March
to the diplomatic, representative of
Germany. Just what reason was
given by the German representative
for making the request Is not known.
Such draft, however, it is presumed,
would be negotiable and the result
would be that the Germans could i'm
mediately obtain the money it called
for. The whole matter is presumed
to hinge on the question of the return
Of the ships, national and private,
which were taken by the German ves-
sells during the blockade, and regard
ing which there appears to be hitch.
Rebel Forces Defeated.
Miguerote, Venezuela, Feb. 24.-Gen.

lasting ten hours the rebel forces
abandoned the field, leaving a number
Of wounded, among them Vidal and
another rebel leader named Flores.
Gen. Olivares is continuing his
march on Caracas in order to take the
revolutionist army under Gen. Rolando
between two fires, as the government
will shortly take the offensive in the
direction of Guarenas.

STRAIGHTENS OUT TANGLE
Missing Senate Journal Found at
Last.

The missing original senatet journal
of the last legislature has been found
1t had never been turned over to the
secretary of state. but was found
locked up in one of the little rooms
back of the senate chamber which was
used by Charles NJ. Sheldon, secretary
of the senate.
This original removes all blame from
both Sheldon and w. P Mason, chief
clerk of the house. for the mistakes
with reference to the constitutional
amendment resolutions. SO far as the
original copy is concerned. In the jour
nal is embodied the original ge
from the house to the senate concern
ing the action of the house on these
amendment resolutions. and it plainly
says that the house 'concurred' in
stead of ''non-concu1Ted" as the mes
sage states in the printed journal of
the senate
This shows that the mistake was a
typographical error made in the state
printers office and which was not no.
ticed when the journal was oroof-read.
The original copy will guide the secre-
tary OF state. and as this shows that
the passage of the resolutions and the
record of the same is entirely regular.
they will doubtless be certified by Sec
retarY Gu-row.
Consequently. if the state printer
amendment carries. there is no doubt
but George A. Clark will hold the office
until 1907.

RULE THAT IS IGNORED.
Health officers Pay Little Attention
to Diaries.

One of the rules provided by city or
dinance for the regulation of the milk
business of Topeka is as follows:
mo person who is afflicted with. or
is suffering from, any contagious or in
fictitious disease, namely, consumption.
typhus fever typhoid fever, typhoid
malarial fever smallpox, measles,
scarlet fever or diphtheria, shall sell or
handle or be in any way connected with
selling or handling any milk, and on
recovery from any of said diseases he
shall furnish to the secretary of the
board of health a certificate from the
attending or some other legally quail
flied reputable physician that said per-
son has recovered from said disease"
So far as can be learned. the city
physician has never made the slightest
effort to enforce this law, though it has
been repeatedly pointed out that one of
the chief sources of typhoid contagion
NAV be the milk from dairies. The
probability is that DR. Storrs does not
even know whether there have been
supplying Topeka with milk. 1t is his
business to know such things. He can
not do his duty without knowing them.
The law gives him the authority to
compel every physician in the city to
report cases of typhoid to him.
There is considerable objection to fur
Their delay in investigating the milk
and water question, and it is said that
at the next council meeting the city
physician will present some recon-
mendations'' in regard to what should
fore the council in official form the re-
suit of the work which the Christian
Fzndeavorers have been doing toward
the suppression of typhoid.

WEST SIXTH PROTEST.
j. A. Ramsey Writes of Proposed Use
of Macadam

To the, Editor of the State Journal:
With very many others who use
West Sixth avenue wish to enter a
decided protest against the use of ma
cadam in the paving of the tracks now
being laid on that avenue.
The street is billy and the current of
water along the rail and down these
hills will most surely wash out the ma
cadam, and on the extreme west end,
the muddy wheels of wagons will pick
it up and distribute it over the pave
ment, adding to its now horrible condi-
ton.
Why not replace the block on the out
side of the tracks and pave between the
tracks and in the middle by trolley
poles with brick as the ordinance pro-
vides. The sale of the cedar blocks as
wood, when fuel is so high. will go
quite a way towards the buying of
brick to repave with.
1 do not want to be a kicker or to
hinder the City railway in the good
work they are doing, but L do feel like
entering a legal protest to the course
which has been recommended by the
streets and walks committee.

Stone Cutters, strike Binds.

Emporia, Kan, Sept. 24.-The strike
of the stone cutters working on the
government building has been called off
and the men are at work again. The
strike was ordered by the local union
because the stone for the cornice of the
building had been cut by machinery in
Indiana and the union demanded that
it be cut by hand in Emporia. Two car
loads of the stone was already on the
way between here and the stone cutter
in Indiana and the contractor refused to
give in The men were off three weeks
and came back to work Wednesday on
the same conditions that they worked
under before the strike.
