CHARITY IN TOPEKA.
Secretary J. E. Squire Writes of the
Work

Secretary Squire of the Associated
Charities writes as follows Of the work
of the associations
In giving charity it is like anything
else it must be given in the right
spirit in order to produce the right re-
suits. When the good seed is sown It
viii bring forth fruit of its kind. but
when Door seed is used nothing Will
come forth. It is like the wind, we know
not from whence it cOmeth nor whittier
it goeth l wish to explain the work Of
the Associated Charities of Topeka. It was
started January 1, 1903, and so far 1t hah
progressed under difficulties. The num-
Der of applicants has been SO great that
/ wonder how our beautiful city has been
able to do without it. Children come IN
drOves, as many as eleven at one time
five and seven Of one family, asking for
shoes and clothing. and an old lady so
years Of age, with her poor feet COW
cred with rags to keep them warm. She
said she wanted shoes. She took with
her a pair not mates, for that was all
that I had in my office. She Jared like
many others who have taken from here
the same kind of foot covering. Shoes
that are not mates cannot comfortably
be worn by anyone, and those with a
lot Of sleeveless coats and jackets and a
few summer hats were the donation of
Mrs. Thorpe. the kindly disposed police
matron- These things no doubt had
been picked over a hundred times.
Now kind friends, while you are sitting
by your warm flreside, remember that
there are lrVOO children suffering from
cold and hunger I know you want to
do something. Now IS your opportunity
to give, and give something that we
can give. 1t goes to the right place
May God bless you in giving for it is
more blessed to give than to receive
Send everything to the Office of the asso-
citation, as Mrs. Thorpe sends all the
people to me now at Ills Kansas ave-
nue.. Therefore all communications and
donations should be sent directly to j.
E. Squire, general secretary, who win
attend to all matters in the charity work
Of this city.

MOON SINNER MERE CURIO
civilizing Agencies Are Making of
Kentucky a Better State.

Louisville, KY, Jan. I'm short
time there will be no such things as
moonshiners in Kentucky" said w. N
Chopper, of Lexington, KY, here today.
1T used to be that every stranger who
entered the mountains of Kentucky
risked his life and was altogether La
BILE to be shot as a revenue officer
Now it is gradually becoming diff
ferent Fortunes are being made IN
the oil wells, and the illicit stills are
being abandoned. Railroads are open
ing up the country, and the moonshiner
will die with the present generation It
is a fact that a short time ago the fed

suppressing moonshine than it gath
cred IN revenue Notwithstanding the
fact that Kentucky has a large number
of licensed distilleries.
Kentucky is going ahead in company
with her sister states. though I saw
something lately which looked queer

disappointed, for he was giving the

furrow he yelled 'Haw. and Whoa

BOWEN SAILS.
Venezuela Matter Awaits His
Arrival in Washington.

Berlin, Jan. 1.-THE foreign office
here is somewhat puzzled by President
Castros last note. He avoids specific
acceptance Of the powers supulations
and seemingly leaves the basis for a set
Element as indefinite as in his preceding
dispatch agreeing generally to arb!tra-
ton. The presidents reply has really
not advanced the matter at all, but 1t IS
confidently supposed he has given Mr
Bowen full power Of attorney.
The state department at Washington
has advised the foreign Office that Mr..
Bowen has sailed from La Guayra-
Nothing more VIII be done from this
side until Mr.. Bowen arrives in Wash
ington.
New York, Jan. 12-Referring to the
situation in Venezuela the London COR
respondent of the Tribune says The opin-
ion expressed by the leading Officials
there is that the blockade has evidently
oppressed Castro and that he mas given
UP all hope of American intervention
The Americans La Guayra cores
pOndent is authority for the statement
that under the persuasion of pressure of
President Castro the foreign merchants
of Caracas have Contributed" $4,000 TO
the expense fund Of Minister Bowen on
his trip TO Washington.
MAY RAISE THE BLOCKADE
Rome Jan AUTHORIZATIONS between
the cooperating powers relative to
raising the blockade of the Venezuelan
coast are proceeding, the main point
being the question of guarantees for the
payment Of claims should the warships
be Withdrawn. The italian foreign Of
flee recognizes the correctness of the
contention in Secretary Hays last note
that a continuance of the blockade will
only further impoverish Venezuela and
make the settlement of the claims more
difficult and is DESTROYS of meeting the
suggestion of the United States At the
same time it cannot act without any
q agreement with Germany and Great
Britain. AS the quickest solution the
suggestion is again mooted, whether the
United States might not again be asked
to guarantee the payment of the sums
awarded, now that the situation has so
completely changed

TO FIGHT KANSAS.
Colorado Governor Urges Liberal APP
preparation for the Purpose.

Denver. Jan. 12.-In his biennial mes
sage to the legislature. Gov. James B.
Orman recommended a liberal appropria-
ton for defending the suit of Kansas
against Colorado. the object Of which is
to stop the use of the water of the Ar
kanssa river for irrigating in this state.
, Should the state of Kansas be success
full in this litigation said the governor.
''it would work untold injury to Colora-
do in her agricultural resources. The work
and expenditures OF years would be lost.
But this would not be the end. The state
Of Nebraska would come in and inhibit
the state of Colorado from using any OF
the waters of the Platte or its tributaries.
It would. indeed, be great calamity
should Colorado be precluded from the
privileges now enjoyed"
The governor said that the construction
of storage reservoirs by the national gov
eminent would open up vast tracts of now
undeveloped farming lands in this state.

TEACHERS SCARCE.
St. Louis High School Pupils to Be
Used as Tutors.

st. Louis. Jan. 12.-The teachers com
mittee of the board of education took
steps yesterday to provide for addition
al teachers for the public schools by
proposing the employment oe high
school pupils, who have completed a
classic or scientific course, as apprentice
tutors for one year without salary.
The scarcity Of teachers has alarmed
the members of the board and this plan
was proposed to relieve the condition
until a new normal school is establish
ed. It is believed by those who fathared
the proposition that such method
would work excellently.
It is said that matrimony has depicted
the ranks of proficient instructors, and

WASHINGTON NOTES.
The Successor for DR.. Grassland
Won't Come from Kansas.

Washington, Jan 12.-Now that DR.
Grassland has been recalled by the
state department from his post at
MonrOvia, Liberia, there is quite a
scramble for this appointment. It was
expected that several Kansas negroes
would become candidateS-in fact, one
of them, George B. Dardis, of Atchi-
son, had already filed his application
but the president lost no time in decid-
ing whom he should appoint to the
vacancy, and DR.. CrOssland's success
scr is as good as chosen. He viii not
be a western man. The president prac-
tically had decided to appoint a Mary
land negro, and the announcement
doubtless will be made within a few
days. The appointment c d Maryland
man to the place makes ii certain that
George W. Ellis, the Lawrence negro
who is at present secretary of lega-
ton. will not retain his place He is
expected to return to the United States
as soon as he can get here.
There is a hitch in the establishment
Of a national bank at lola. Applica-
ton for charter with a capital of $4,000
was made to the comptroller of the
currency by J. B. Case, of Abilene, M.
A. Low. of Topeka, and several lola
men. but the comptroller has ruled
that lola has population OF more
than 5000. hence charter for a national
bank with a capital of less than $780,
600 cannot be granted. It is not known
whether the promoters of the new in
stitution will go ahead and establish
the bank under these circumstances.
Sidney Clarke, of Oklahoma City, is
in Washington. He represented Kan
sas in congress from 1855 to 1871, and
was fond of calling himself the lone
representative of Kansas in the house.
He finds but two men now in congress
who were here when he represented the
state in the Thirty-ninth, Fortieth and
Forty first congresses.

strong men in the race, but Long is
ahead of his rival. and unless I am
greatly mistaken will be elected. There
IS no i'll will against Mr. Curtis, but

selected by the Herald at Thirty-fiftn

said to be $500, 900. Like the similar sites
selected by the Herald at LongaCre

great advantage will be the immediate
connection that will be made with the

TO COLLECT
PARK FUND
The Mckinley Grounds
To Be Put In
Shape.

Collectors will at once get to work
upon the getting together of the
funds which have been subscribed for
the completion of Mckinley Park. The
committee, at n meeting held at the
Bank of Hawaii, yesterday afternoon,
heard the report Of Treasurer c. NJ
Cooke, and decided that steps should
be taken at once for the collection and
investment of the fund.
The cash on hand at the pres ,,it
time amounts to something like $1,000.
and the subscriptions uncollected are
in the region of $1,000. This amount
is ready for investment, and the COM
mittee voted that steps should be ak
en- to get the money into the treasury
Immediately. 1t Is not thought that
there will be any difficulty in securing
the money, and 1t Is expected that
there will be the full amount in the
hands of the treasurer within a weeks
time after the collectors get to work.
Governor Dole appointed as commit
tee to look after the investment of
this fund, Messrs. Cooke and Scha FER,
himself being the third committee man.
j. A. McCandless was designated as
the officer to look after the park lands.
1t was reported that some of the al
geroba trees had been blown down,
and a source of some revenue lies IN
the sale Of the wood, which will pc

comes time in mems lives when
they are "afraid of that which is
high; when fears are in the way;
when desire fails and the grass
hopper is a burden" In these
days we call it nervous prostra-

thing and is brought about in
the identical way SO popular with
Solomon himself. The nerves
collapse and the mans force and

state of things is not constitu-

Without the use of the dyeing vat
