AfINAL CONFLICT.
End Of Gates-StilweIl Fight
Now Looked For.

Kansas City, Mo-, Oct. 27.-In some
respects the annual stockholders meet
ing of the Guardian Trust company,
which will be held at the general Off
ces of the company tomorrow. will be
the most important meeting of those
interested in this company ever held,
for there promises to be a final con-
fiict between the John w. Gates in
terests and those of the founder of the
company. A f. Stilwell, president of
the Kansas City, Mexico & Orient rail-
road. Already . several of the eastern
stockholders who are members of the
directory are in the city. Among them
are H. H. Harris. of New York; Will
liam D. Black, of Philadelphia; E.
Henry Barnes, of New Haven and Ed
ward Wagner, of Berlin. These men
are known to be allied with the Still
we'll interests. and they met informally
to discuss a plan for regaining control
of the company. a plan is said to be
on foot to wind up the affairs of the
company, according to one authority,
in which it is asserted all the Stilwell
interests may be centralized in the
United States and Mexican Trust COM
pany, which Mr.. Stilwell organized to
finance his newly projected railway,
the Kansas City, Mexico & Orient. The
latter proposition would not be dis
cussed by the stockholders now here.

WILL BE CUT IN TWO.
Production of Pig Iron to Be Reduc-
ed One Half

Pittsburg, Pa, Oct. 27.-The circular
letter sent out by J. G. Butler. Jr., OF
Youngstown, president of the Bessemer
Furnace association, asking pig iron
producers to vote on a plan to curtail
the production 40 per cent this quarter
has not received serious attention, it is
said, because of the fact that the pro-
duction will be curtailed close to so per
cent The original plan was to cut II
down % per cent, but the furnace opera
tors generally in this district are hold
ing their output far below that from the
simple scarcity of orders. On the other
hand the billet market is looking up.
The demand has been increasing consid-
cradle within the last few weeks and is
being filled from stock. The leading fur
mace operators look to recovery in
pig iron demand after the opening of
the next quarter.

Commissioners Decide Not to
Replace Old Bridges Now.
County Still Owes for Those
Washed Away.
MAY BEGIN NEXT YEAR
Part of Money Will Then Be
Available.
One or Two of Structures May
Be Erected In 1904.

The county commissioners have de-
cided that the four bridges across the
Kansas river washed away by the
flood will not be rebuilt until the
county has the money with which to
pay for them. This means, in all prob
ability, that no bridges will be built
until the fall of 1904. Then one or two
bridges will be built and the year fol-
lowing two more will be built.
At present Shawnee county still owes
for the bridges that We're washed away.
The four bridges cost $S7. 900. The coun-
ty still owes $14, 800 in bridge scrip,
which with the accrued interest
amounts to $4,000.
The county is allowed to make levy
of u mills year for the bridge fund
This brings in about $4,000 a year. This
money will not be available until next
year. To carry the $4,000 until then it
is likely that the commissioners will
borrow that amount from the interest
and sinking fund which is accumu
lating to pay off the c. K. & N. and
K. n. & D. railroad bonds. The CON-
missioners will pay the fund per cent.
outstanding bridge warrants draw 8
per cent. interest. Such deal will
mean a saving of per cent. in interest
to the county.
49, ca INC SOAlii VIZ -
the $4,000 due on the old bridges and
will have about SO 900 left which with
the taxes of 1904 when the one and one
half mill levy for bridge building is
paid will give the commissioners about
$4,000 which to build in all probability
two bridges. Many of the piers of the
old bridges are standing and the cost of
the new bridges will be less than the
original cost of the old bridges
With the $4,000 the commissioners
will not be able to build more than two
bridges, possibly not more than one. The
! commissioners will then wait for the
taxes collected in 1905 before building
| more bridges.

LEAVING FORT RILEY.
National Guards Pack Tents and
Start for Home.

Fort Riley, Kan. Oct. 27-AH of the
national guard regiments broke camp
this morning and left for home. In
reality they broke camp last night, for
the tents were struck and all the heavy
baggage loaded on the trains. 1t was
found necessary to do this in order to
permit the prompt departure of the
trains in the morning. The proceeding,
however, compelled the men to steep in
the open and there was no great COM
fort in doing So for it was as cold d
night as has been experienced in this
place during the maneuvers.
The balance of the programme for the
regulars has been rearranged. There
was no military problem for today and
tomorrow will see the last exercise of
that character, when a convoy will be
sent out and attacked and defended by
the opposing forces. Thursday night the
troops will march out at nightfan,
bivouack and establish outposts in the
morning. The balance of the week will
be given over to drills and target prac-
tice.

COMPANY. BROUGHT TO TIME
Tried to Evade Payment of Insurance
on LIQUORS.

The final disposition of the suit Of
Sherry E. Evans against the Insurance
Company of North America was
reached in the district court this morn
ing when the case was settled and the
plaintiff agreed to pay the costs.
In the trial of the case it was de-
cided that if a stock of liquors was
burned in Kansas that the insura nee
on them could be collected. Evans
owned a drug store at McLouth. The
store burned. He had paid $50 pre-
MUM to the, insurance company. The
company refused to pay on the ground
that Evans sold liquor illegally and
Evans brought suit to recover $500.

tried at Oskaloosa and the verdict

premium. was made. The court grant
ed a new trial. and the case went to
the supreme court. The supreme court
decided that the new trial should he

that in Kansas the owning of stock
of liquor by a drug store did not in
validate the policy. A second trial was
held and the jury failed to agree A
change of venue was allowed to Shaw

GEROW IN TROUBLE.
People Want to Turn His Office Into
Matrimonial Bureau.

Just now T. B. Gerow, director of the
state free employment bureau, is being
flooded with letters from men and wo-
men who want life partners for their
joys and sorrows. In other words, they
are trying to turn the employment bu-
reau into a matrimonial agency,to which
Mr. Gerow strenuoGSly objects.
The trouble seems to have started over
a story which was published in an east
ern paper that Mr.. Gerow proposed to
relieve the stringency in the demand for
domestic help by bringing west shop
girls stenographers and girl clerks who
want to benefit themselves. and that
many of them would doubtless find hus-
bands among the rich western farmers
The story was, of course, a pure rake,
but it started trouble for Gerow.
Now he is receiving letters not only
from eastern girls who want to come
west and be found" by some rich
ranchman, but he is also getting many
letters from men who want to put III
their applications for one OF Mr.. GeroW :, >
importa lions. Mr.. Gerow says he Will
not even answer the letters. as they Will
simply use up the states stamps
Among the letters which have Just
come to the bureau is one from Ros-
ton girl apparently young woman OF
a high order of intelligence. She writes
a fine hand. and her letter bears every
evidence of refinement. She is now an
office clerk.
Mr. Gerow says that he will not I'M
dertake to fill the demand for husbands
and wives-that that is entirely out OF
the range of his duties. He has enough
other troubles to attend to without
running a matrimonial bureau.
]. H. BagnalI, of Independence, writes
the bureau that he would like thirty
wood choppers. The oil business and
other Industries have used up al the
laborers in that part of the state. and
he can get no men to chop wood he
will pay IS cents and a sdollar cord
for chopping four-foot wood. He wants
ten men at Independence. ten at Crane.
and ten at Oak Valley.
The last echo of the demand for har-
vest hands has just reached Director
Gerow Today he received letter from
John c. Irving. of Wonga. Allora
Queensland. Australia, enclosing a
clipping from an Australian paper
about the demand for harvest hands
and he wanted to know if he could get
work here and if he could get part OF
his passage to this country advanced

COONEY LOST HIS SUIT.
Jury In District Court Decides
Against Him.


Thomas Cooney lost his suit in the
district court which he brought against
Alfred HyIt for $4,000 damages. The
jury decided that CoOney did not de-
serve any financial consideration.
Hylt and Cooney are farmers living
in the northwestern part of Shawnee
county. Hylt was building a division
fence between his farm and Cooney's
when Cooney appeared on the ground
and trouble began. The result was
Cooney. Cooney swore out a warrant
charging Hylt with assault The trial
was held before a justice of the peace
Cooney brought the damage suit for
and the jury decided that he was not
entitled to damages.
Cooney has been keeping the courts
busy for some time. He was a tenant
on the farm of the Norton estate. H.
r. Chase, the guardian of the heir
claimed that Cooney had not paid rent
for several years and two suits were
started against Cooney, one for rent due
and one to eject him from the farm
Both cases were settled and judgment
for rent was given against Cooney in
the sum of $340 and he was ordered by
the court to leave the farm by January
l. After Coney lost these two cases he
brought his damage case against Hylt.
Now it is rumored that CoOney is con-
sidering bringing a damage suit against
the Union Pacific railroad for damages
for injuries received while getting off
4 train which started before Cooney

TWO BOYS ARRESTED.
They Are Accused of Tapping Santa
Fe Wheat Cars.

The Santa F'e railroad is after two
boys, Vernon Jones and Roy Dutton
each under ii years of age, on the
charge of stealing grain.
Complaint was made before Probate
Judge Hayden, and he will be asked
to send the boys to the reform school
The railroad company charges the boys
with stealing grain from cars. The
method followed by the boys. SO the
Santa Fe officials claim, was to get
under cars loaded with grain and bore
holes in the floor and let the Pr ain
run into sacks. This was not a great
loss. for after a certain amount of
grain had slipped through the hole
the grain would quit running, but when
the cars were taken into a train and
started for Kansas City the grain was

BOWEN Is READY.
Has Money to Pay the Taxes Due the
State.

Shawnee county will pay the taxes
due the state Just as soon as the ac-
count of the county in the state treas
urer's office shows that Shawnee county
receives credit for the erroneous and
double assessments.
County Treasurer Bowen has the
funds on hand and will make the pay
ment as soon as the proper credit is
given the county. If State Treasurer
Kelly needs the money all he has to do
is to give Shawnee county credit for
double and erroneous assessments which
would make Shawnee county's state tax
$751; 4S too high. The double and err
roneous assessment on personal property
amount to S5S6.40 and on real estate

Paine'S Celery
Compound
Permanently Cures Sick and
Nervous Headaches that
Make Life Miserable.

Sick and nervous headaches are amongst
the worst ills of life. The man or woman who
is subject to headache at irregular intervals,
goes through life bearing a load Of misery
and wretchedness that is terrible to think
Of.
Headaches as a rule, result from a dis
ordered condition of the nervous system.
Mental excitement, loss Of sleep, bodily
fatigue, and disordered digestion are exciting
causes. When the brain becomes tired and
debilitated, the whole nervous system is weak
ened, and headaches result. II the liver is
sluggish, the kidneys inactive, and digestion
deranged, headaches invariably follow. To
cure and prevent headache, the nervous sys-
tenn must be strengthened and vitalized.
The most persistent cases of headache, nervous
feebleness, and sleeplessness, are permanently
cured by Paines Celery Compound; it is the
great reconstructant of the nervous system.
Mrs. Henry Westrick St. Clair, Mich, tells
of her release from suffering as follows:-
"I have been troubled with dyspepsia and
sick headache for a number of years. About
every week | would have a bad spell of sick
headache, but since l began using PaineE
Celery Compound, my dyspepsia is gone, and
do not have any more headaches. / feel
better than have for years"
