GAS FOR rs CENTS.
A Rival Concern Enters the Field
OF San Francisco.


San Francisco, Nov. 3o.-The Ex-
aminer today says:
Jacob Schiff, the New York
financier is one of the men behind the
proposition to establish an opposition
gas and electric company in San Fran
cisco. A fifty million dollar syndicate
was organized some time ago in New
York to take hold of certain large in
dustrial propositions in big western
cities and one of these schemes is an
opposition lighting plant in San Fran
cisco.
Mr.. Schiff has already a consider
able interest in the stock of the San
Francisco Coke and Gas company
which is the foundation on which the
new lighting enterprise is to be con-
structed.
The San Francisco Gas and Coke
company has SO, 900 shares of stock of
which $4,000 shares are held in New
York by eight men, including Mr..
Schiff. Three men in this city hold
the remaining three thousand shares.
The new company is already making
contracts for rs cent gas for five years
with consumers. Just as soon as the
eastern nanufa cturers can deliver the
pipe the new company will put down
a lot of mains. Another thing that
Mr.. Schiff did while here was to ap-
prove of E. H. Harriman's plan for a
1000 foot tunnel through the Sierra
mountains. By this means over 800
feet of the present mountain grade of
the Central Pacific will be got rid Of
many curves abolished and most of the
thirty-six miles of costly snowsh eds
done aWaV with.

that Attorney E. z. Richardson, who
was reported yesterday to have left
Denver for st. Louis to apply to Judge

under sentence of contempt of court,
probably had gone to st. Paul, where
the United States court of appeals is
now sitting. A telegram was received
bH Clerk Jordan from John NJ. VALID
ran counsel for Governor Peabody
of Colorado, asking him to request
Judge Thayer not to issue any such
writ until counsel for the governor
could have an opportunity to file a
brief reply. Mr.. Waldron was notified
that the circuit court of appeals is sit
ting in st. Paul and to address his re-
quest to Judge Sanborn there.

PHYSICIANS ENDORSE 1T.
Recognize Ascatco as a True Specific
for Asthma and Catarrh.

New York, Nov. 30.-In spite of the
well known reluctance with which
American physicians accept the discov-
cries of foreign specialists, the new
Austrian drug, ascatco, has attracted
the attention of the medical profession
in this country more than anything
that has heretofore emanated from the
savantS of Europe. One year has
elapsed since it's introduction from
abroad and ascatco is today almost uni
versally recognized as a positive specific
for asthma, catarrh and bronchitis
especially as the relief obtained from it
is not palliative but permanent, even in
the most chronic cases.
More than one hundred thousand suf-
ferers have received this treatment
from the Austrian dispensary at East
18th street, New York City, which, by
special commission, supplies ascatco
free to all sufferers who write to them
for it.

FOOL KILLER NO. g."
Peter Nissen and His Aquatic Balloon
Probably Lost.

Chicago, Nov. 30.-Members of the
four life saving stations in the Chicago
district spent last night keeping close
lookout for any trace of Peter Nissen,
who started across Lake Michigan in
a heavy gale yesterday afternoon in
his so-called aquatic balloon, Fool
Killer No. 81
During the night the wind shifted
from the northwest to due west This
probably would cause a change in
near South Haven or st. Joseph, Mich.
The captain of the steamer Indiana,
on arrival here today, stated that dur
inng the greater part of last night he
had his searchlight turned on because
of the rough condition of the lake. He
saw no trace of the missing balloon
Ship
The captain expressed the opinion
that Nissen If not in Michigan must
have drowned in the gale.

THIS INDIAN Is CLEVER.
Two Southwest Colleges Are Quarrel
ing About w. HI. Deitz, an Artist.

wichita, Kan. Nov. 3o.-w. H. Deitz,
the Indian whose appearance in e
Friends football suit on Thanksgiving
day may result in the breaking off OF
diplomatic relations between that insti-
tuition and Paramount college, can do
something besides play football. He IL
fairly well educated and is a very clever
artist Deitz's chief claim to fame in
that line is based upon a piece of work
which found its way to the Worlds
fair in st. Louis. 1t is an immense In
dian, Is feet in height, made of grains
of various kinds, cleverly wrought into
the picture in such a way that 1t has
attracted the attention of connoisseurs.
1t took the stalwart young Indian eight
weeks to complete the picture.
Deitz is a graduate of a Chicago art
school and grows more enthusiastic over
the fine lines of a sketch than he does
over a mass play or a touchdown. He
is a quarter-blood Sioux. His father
is a Wisconsin farmer. 1t is contended
by the Quakers that Deftz did not at
tend Chilocco school, but was an en-
ploye in the commissary department,
and hence was eligible to play with
Friends.

Richard Golden in Common Sense
Bracket" one of the best shows of
the season, played to a ridiculously
small audience last night. The attrac-
ton was poorly advertised and Topeka
people are tired of Crawford's imposi-
lions in prices, coupled with an in
ferior and dangerous opera house.
The Ringing and Barnum circuses
have announced that they will give no
more free tickets for the privilege of
posting show bills in store windows.
This is only a dream of the press
agent. A year ago he dreamed that
the big shows would not give street
parades. The big shows will continue
to fill windows full of Autographs and
to pay for the privilege with tickets.
Another instance of the injustice
done the Topeka theater going public
is the fact that while Crawford put up
the prices here for Williams and
Walker to so cents in the gallery and
$3.50 for every seat on the first floor,
this same show is appearing at the
Tabor Grand this week in Denver at
25, so and IS cents, the latter being
the highest priced seat in the house,
but then Topeka people are good
natured.
Mort A1baugh received congratulations
from his friends and from the federal

warm personal friends in fact. When
people told Albaugh that they were glad
to see him get the position he remarked

Not only should the railroad commission

THE X. c. BLUES SOLD.
Dale Gear Says That Arthur Irwin
Really Owns the Team.

Kansas City, Nov. 3o.-In Chicago
Monday afternoon the Kansas City
Athletic association held a meeting
and the baseball franchise of Kansas
City was again sold. Those who took
part in the meeting were Dale Gear,
George Tebeau, Arthur Irwin, and
Nate Wilbur. Thomas w. Barker and
the other stockholders were represent
ed by proxy. All of the stock belong
ing to George Tebeau and Dale Gear
was sold to Irwin-at least that is
what Dale Gear says, and he ought to
know as he was present, and because,
as he says, his bank account is some
few dollars larger in actual cash as
the result of the conference.
"There is no fake about the pur-
chase this time" Gear said last night.
Arthur Irwin now has absolute con-
troll of the Kansas City team, because
he owns it. At the meeting in Chicago
the club was sold to Irwin and he has
the papers to show for it. Two thou

Tangier is most fascinating at night:
then the clear moon of the South
throws a veil over the city, the browns
become softened, the shadows deepen
ed; the shrouded women looking down
from the roof tops appear as pale and
lovely ghosts, writes Martha Lowell
in the Four-Track News. 1t is at
night that the Moor goes to some cafe.
joins the circle of his brethren seated
around lighted brazier, smokes and
hears the musicians sing songs of val
or and of love. And If the musicians
sing well, wealthy Moor may throw
some rare incense upon the brazier
and the air is then filed with a won
drous perfume, such as is found in no
other country in the world.
II is at night that the wedding pro-
cessions march through the winding
streets. A band of men, singing the
weird wedding song. accompanies the
bride. She rides in covered palan-
