BELGlUM'S PLAN.
She Is Willing to Attend to Col
lection for Allies.

Paris. Jan. 2s-It was learned today
that the Belgian charge d'affaires at Car
acas has informed his diplomatic and Off
eial colleagues that Belgium will under
take the administration of the Venezuelan
customs in behalf of the allies and other
foreign claimants. thus relieving the Uni
ted States and other interested parties
from the responsibility of administering
the settlement. Belgian agents will be az
pointed to receive the customs and dis
tribute the respective proportion to the
defendants.
Washington, Jan 2s.-No advices have
arrived here from London, Berlin or Rome
relative to the Venezuelan negotiations.
The representatives of the allies are hope
ful that the final answer of the powers
authorizing the raising of the blockade
may reach here within the next "A hours,
1t viii be communicated at once to Mr..
Bowen and the preliminary protocol Will
then be signed. Impressed with the fair
spirit in which Mr. Bowen has conducted
the negotiations for Venezuela an appeal
has come to the minister from one Of the
largest German firms in existence, asking
he may be able in his representations to
the powers. He is especially urged to call
to the attention Of the powers the serious
harm that will accrue to foreign trade III
Venezuela and throughout South Amer-
lea if the allies insist any prOpo-
sitiOn involving the OVeFturning of the cur
rency system OF Venezuela. This appeal

is thus placed inrethe attitudes Of asking

est of their citizens

Just which is the best act is hard to tell,
but the feats of the Raschetta brothers,
barrel jumpers. and Of Pascatel, the con-
tortionist, are marvellous to the extreme.
Vontena and Nina, the Roman ring per-
formers, receive as much applause, even
when they appear for their act. as do any
of tie others during their performance
Pascatel in the vaudeville business holds
the same relative position as Mile. ZeIie de
Lussan does in the concert world He is a
star and he draws a salary that will keep
him out of the poor house for life even if
he spends half of it as he goes along and
then quits when he is six years older. Pas
catel goes from Topeka to New Orleans
for an extended engagement.
one OF Pascatel s most alarming turns
is when he closes his act. Everyone who
was ever boy or a girl. knows what il
is to skin the cat. on horizontal bar.
Pascatel takes hold of his trapeze and
skins the cat forward for dozen times
and the same old cat backwards dozen
times more Pascatel has no joints; he is
all -riStle.

The Raschetta brothers take their lives
form with their barrels. They jump in and
out. blindfolded and tied. fall in and out.
dive in and out of the barrels as if the
barrels were dish pans.
VOntella and Nina, who are really Mr
and Mrs. NOntella perform in the Roman
rings. Mrs. Vontela could start a school

week has wrought a change toe real
to be pleasant, too profound to be UNI

and his mind says, Why, Father? Then
the great, loving, kind and tender hand
of the good Father is extended to
our brow while he draws us to his bosom
and conpassionately dries the perspira-
ton, brushes away our hot and fast
flowing tears. and bids our throbbins

made many complete cures of indiges-

port of Morton Albaugh. state bank
commissioner, that trust companies be
not allowed to hold stock in banks. ex-
cept to take it in payment of debts and
then it must be disposed of within one

The present law was framed by ex-

under it Mr.. Breidenthal is now operat-

OLIVER AS WHIPPER.
Evangelist Would Like to Be an Of
fetal Lasher IN Topeka.

Topeka ought to be the model town
of the state as it is here where lives the
governor and the county officials but
instead of that it is a disgrace to the
state with its open violation Of the pro-
hibitory law going on unmolested.' p
This statement was made last evening
by Evangelist Oliver at the North Side
Tabernacle meeting and met with the
approval of those present Mr.. Oliver
also took occasion to say that a whip
ping post was needed here where such
persons as the representative who in
troduced the resolution favoring local
option could receive their Just deserts
ment could be meted out he would like
to apply for. the position of whipper.
The crowd at last evenings meeting
was large The service opened with
song service lasting three quarters OF
an hour and was followed by. a prayer
by Rev. T. J. Pearson of the Congre-
gatiOnaI church. Evangelist Oliver
then announced his text which was
found in the 18th chapter, Gath verse
Of the gospel according to St Mark
Prayer" said Mr.. Oliver, is the most
important question Of the day, the
most important question that confronts
Christianity If the ministers and con-
gregations spent more time in prayer
and less time splitting theological hairs
better spiritual as well as practical re-
suits would be obtained
The work this week is of a prepara-
tory nature and on Saturday evening
Mr.. Oliver expects to make call for
all those who desire to lead a better life
to come forward. A committee will be

given to the different pastors.
