1t is a long time since appendicitis
Medicine True, we have had vaca-
lions, and though appendicitis is not
idle, the academy supposes it ought to
rest during the months of August and
September. And, beside, it begins to
become difficult to say anything new
on a question which for ten years past
has made SO much ink and blood run.
1t is DR.. Chauvel, medical inspector of
the army, who has belled the cat by
a study on the frequency of appendi-
citis in the French army.
A little detail in passing. During
the year 1902 the military hospitals re-
eeived 668 patients afflicted with ap-
pendicitis Out of this number 1873
have been treated according to the
surgical rite, and 4S0 have received
purely medical treatment, although, ac-
cording to a celebrated mot, the med
zeal treatment of appendicitis does not
exist OF the 1873 operated on with
the knife, % died. while the 480 not
treated with the knife furnished but
deaths-scarcely 1 per cent. Thus,
theoretically, medical treatment does
not exist; but practically, medical
treatment cures ninety-nine out of
hundred. This is vexatious for the
theorists, but not to be treated with
contempt by the sick.
IN THE ARMY.
The interesting point in the statis-
teal study of NJ. Chauvel is the COM
parison which he Institutes between
the figures furnished by the army of
the metropolis and by the army in Al
geria. In 1901 the 18th Corps of the
army of France had $50 cases of ap-
pendieitis, very nearly one to every
thousand of the effective-to be precise,
0.95; while the 18th Corps in Algeria
and Tunis had but 80 cases, or GA per
thousand, twice less. In 1902 these
figures are larger; 619 cases in France,
or 1.27 per thousand, and 40 in Algeria,
or 0.63. The proportion is smaller in
Algeria than in France, and the differ
ence, which is from simple to double,
remains exactly the same in 1902 as in
1901.
These statistics not having been
manufactured pour les besoins de la
cause, we may consider the deductions
exact, and admit that as a general
rule appendicitis is more rare in Alger-
ia than in France. Besides, that is
the opinion of all the physicians who
practice in our African colony And
NJ. Chauvel cites the example of a
surgeon in very active practice, of
rather enterprising character, who,
during a sojourn of five years at the
civil and military hospital of Blida,
found but a single occasion for OPP
Grating for appendicitis Unlucky sur
geon!
M. Chauvel pushed yet further his
inquiries. Our army in Africa in
cludes Europeans and natives. Legion
aries. soldiers of the line and Turcos,
are they equals before appendicitis?
Or Mohammed. does he kindly extend
his protection over the appendices of
his followers? In five years, from
1898 to 1902, out of an effective of $4,000
men we have among the French and
Europeans 1877 cases of appendicitis.
or 0,64 per thousand, while in the same
space of time out of an effective of
1900 natives we find but thirteen
cases, that is. Ola per thousand
ARABS IMMUNE.
BY this il appears that appendicitis
is two times less frequent among the
French soldiers in Algeria than among

st. Douglass.

Twas the night before Christmas,
And all through, the house,
Not a creature was stirring,
Not even a mouse.
When mama awoke with a start and
shake,
And wondered why papa
Was so wide awake;
A rumbling and roaring
Soon came to their ears
A noise that would follow them.
All through their years.
For down near the bath room
The water rushed out,
And it caused poor papa
And mama to Shout
oh, why did we make such a. fearful
mistake;"
"Oh, John dear, I fear that
My poor heart will break,
Unless you will promise
That tomorrow you'll call
Bath, the plumber, and have him
Go over it all
And then no more leaks,
For We know that it's true,
That folks always call Bath
When there's plumbing to do"

A Talented Indian.

In the service of the Dawes commits

assuming position, yet who has proved
one Of the most valuable aids the COM
mission has had because of his versa
tility. The reference is to Mr.. Alex
Posey, a Creek Indian of F'us Fixico
Letter fame. Mr.. Posey is in the Creek
division. He is used for interpreter,
Creek diplomat, counsel and emissary
Of his department. A friend of his race
and intelligently comprehensive of the
destiny thereof, he has proved an in
valuable factor in bringing about need
ed cooperation on the part of recall
citrant members of the tribe and Sc
cured desirable data for the govern
ment. 1t was he who last week sue
ceeded in bringing Chitto Harjo before
the commission at Okmulgee and for
the first time got the stubborn old
Snake leader to give testimony under

other man in the nation who could have
accomplished this. Mr.. Posey is news
paper man by instinct and training, a
princely fellow and a valuable aid to
the government in many ways.-Mus-

MRS. JORDAN IS DEAD.
A Pioneer of Shawnee County Passes
Away.

Mrs. Hannah P. Jordan, one of the
old settlers of this county, died last
night at the home of her daughter,
Mrs. Charlotte Cleland, near Alma.
Mrs. Jordan was born July IL, 1927,
at Blanchard, Me. She was married
April 10, 1859, to William Jordan,
who was well known to all of the early
settlers of Shawnee county. They
came to Kansas in November, 1855.
and soon after settled on a farm about
two miles south of Topeka which was
for many years their homestead. Mr.
Jordan assisted in organizing the First
Baptist church and he and his wife
were among its earliest members.
Mrs. Jordan leaves four children,
all of whom are married. Josiah
formerly county superintendent, who
lives here; Albert NJ. and Mrs. Char
lotte Cleland who live near Alma and
Arthur, who lives in st. Louis.
She also has three sisters who live
in Topeka, Mrs. William Owen, Mrs
George Packard and Mrs. Sarah c.
Stone.
Funeral services will be held at
Union Center church, Wabaunsee

Friends who desire to see the re-
mains are invited to call at the home

RESCUE TWO PRISONERS.
Scheme to Release a Topeka and a
Leavenworth Jail Bird.

Leavenworth, Kan, Nov. 26.-The
Times says:
A plot to attempt the rescue of
William Briscoe and Charles Ennis,
January on the charge of having fur
nished arms to the federal prison
mutineers, November z. 1901, has been
made known through a tip received
at the federal prison recently by War
den -McClaughry. The warden and
United States Marshal Mackey, al
though they are not yet in possession
of ali the details. have sufficient
knowledge of the affair to be prepared
to give those who may attempt it a
warm reception.
Briscoe is in the Shawnee county Jail
while Ennis is in the Leavenworth
watched closely at the present time
and will be until they are safely land
ed in the federal prison or acquitted
of the charge. Briscoe is a brother of
Tom A. Hating, alias Lon Briscoe, who
was one of the leaders of the recent
big mutiny. Rating was captured in
Colorado and given a trial with Arthur
Hewitt, another leader in the mutiny,
and both were given life sentences.
The Topeka officers have been
warned to be on their guard against
the visiting friends of William Briscoe,
and Sheriff Meyers and his deputies
are also careful in watching any who
may call upon Ennis at the county
Jail here.
One rumor had it that an attempt
would be made to take Ennis from
his guards when he is taken from
Leavenworth to Topeka, but the train
on which he will be taken will not
be made known so it is possible the
plotterS will have to give up this plan.
1t is not thought any attempt will be
made to rescue him from the Leaven-
worth county Jail. This is one of the
strongest jails in the western country
and the only one, it seems, that the
famous bad man, Sol Temple, was
kept in for any considerable length of
time:
It is surmised that, if any attempt
to rescue the men is made, 1t will be
while they are being taken from the
Shawnee county jail to the federal
court room. The officials do not sus-
pect that such an attempt will be
made after the men get into the court
room.

HIS EYEON BUTTONS JOB
Phil Campbell, Who Wants to Succeed
the Senator, Is Here.

Congressman Phil Campbell of the Third
congressional district was in Topeka long
enough today to shake hands with all his
old friends and acquaintance.
MI Campbell has mission, though he
will probably try to deny it if you should
ask him. The fact is now that this bril-
liant young man has had a taste of con-
greSSional life, and being possessed of
like to be advanced. He is accordingly
keeping his eye on Senator Burton's seat
in the United States senate.
When the subject was preached to Mr..
Campbell today he .smiled-he always
does-for that is why he succeeds so well
in politics, and said: mo. 1 am not a
candidate for the United States senate,
that is as Ingalls, said, not now. The
TACT is there is no senator to be elected
at this time and there is no use in spec
ulating about the future
You may say, however, that / am in
favor of redistricting the state and 1 am
satisfied that the legislature win not treat
the congressman unfairly in doing so. The
state ought to be rediStricted, and 1 hope
that it will be DONE

FOOTBALL CHAMPIONS.
Michigan in the West and Pennsy in
the East Were Best.

New York, Nov 26.-Another foot
ball season has closed, except for the
annual army-navy game and the In
| dams, without producing that which
is most dear to the layman-an un-
disputed champion-in either section
of the country. Because of the i'm
possibility of bringing together all the
strong teams and the fact that, when
schedules are made up, the leading
teams cannot be foretold the usual
result is disputed supremacy.
Michigan and MINI esota in the west
and Pennsylvania and Dartmouth in
the east finished their seasons without
being defeated, all the other teams of
prominence meeting defeat at least
once. Michigan and Minnesota played
only one big game on which COM
parison could be based. That was
with Wisconsin, and each of them
licked the Badgers by score of % to
o. On the strength of this the sup
porters of the maroon and gold claim
matter of the western championship"
Michigan enthusiasts, on the other
hand, point to Chicago's defeat of
Northwestern by a score of 80 to O.,
Michigans victory over the maroons
by 20 points to IL, and minnesota
count of IL to against Northwestern
as establishing a clear title to first
rank for the Wolverines.
The season in the west apparently
was more successful from a playing
standpoint than in the east. The COM
parat1Vely poor showing of three of the
hitherto leaders-Yale, Princeton and
Eiarvard-was the occasion of much
dissatisfaction in their respective
camps. The prominence which some of
the smaller eastern teams took in the
seasons campaign was decidedly con-
fusing also. Although beaten by West
Point, Yale vanquished all other rivals
and brought its team to a level where
it can argue with Pennsylvania for
first honors, although the QQakers were
1nhRafan "a nj T.fl
by score of II to 0, matches up well
with Pennsylvania victory over the
crimson by IL to 0. The fact that Har-
ward was supposedly in much better
trim when it played Yale than against
Pennsylvania is to be considered. But
the other fact remains that Yale did
not meet Pennsylvania and no valid
claims can be made. Harvard and
Princeton had decidedly second class
teams, the crimson barely escaping de-
feat at the hands of Dartmouth, which
never was rated as even second class
until within a couple of years.

KING LEoPoLD's HoREs.
They Are Center of Attraction at the
Chicago Stock Show.

Chicago, Nov. 26.-King Leopold's
Belgian horses were the center of at
traction at the opening of the interna-
tional live stock show at the Union
stock yards here today. The king
has presented General Manager A. G.
Leonard of the Union Stock Yards and
Transit company, who is closely iden-
titled with the annual live stock exhi-
bition, a bronze statue of a steer. The
gift is a token of the kings esteem for
Mr.. Leonard and of his interest in the
exhibition. John Ross, of Meikle Far
rell, Scotland, and Robert T. Blofeld,
of Wymondham, Norfolk, England,
are expected to reach Chicago today.
Mr.. Ross will judge red polled cattle;
Mr.. Blofield will judge grade and cross
bred cattle.
Today was devoted to a student
judging contest, in which nine colleges
were represented.

CHICAGO TO ST. LOUIS.
Indications Point to a Rate War
Among Chicago-St. Louis Roads.

Chicago, Nov. 26-Unable to secure
the withdrawal of the seven hour trains
between Chicago and st. Louis, the
Chicago Eastern Illinois railroad today
declared that, commencing Monday
next, 1t will place in effect between
Chicago and st. Louis, rates which will
materially reduce those in effect at the
present time The new rates will be as
follows: One way rate of IS, good in
either direction, and good in both
coaches and sleeping cars; round trip
rate of IS. good in coaches only, apply
ing from Chicago to st. Louis and re-
turn with a return limit of seven days;
round trip rate of $3.50 from Chicago to
st. Louis and return only tickets good
in coaches and sleeping cars, return
limit Is days.
The rates will undoubtedly be met by
the Alton, the wabash and the Illinois
Central, and in that event it is EXPECT
ed that upon three days notice. as re-
quired by the western passenger traffic
agreement, the Frisco will announce a
rate of 81 each way between Chicago
and st. Louis and will at once put in
a round trip rate of 81 between the two
cities.

CODDING WILL SPEAK.
Wamego Senator to Deliver an Adj
dress Sunday Evening.

Tomorrow is Worlds Temperance
Sunday and the day will be quite gen.
orally observed by the churches of the
city. Several have given up their ev-
ening service to the presentation of this
subject and a number of the young peo-
pies societies are preparing special pro-
grammeS for the occasion.
Senator J. &. Codding of Wamego.
the attorney for the Kansas State Tenn
perance union, will speak at the First
Christian church at 1880 o'clock. The
subject of his address will be How"
Judge T. F. Carver will lecture before
the congregation of the Walnut Grove
M. E. church and Rev. Mr.. Estep will
speak at the Central Park Christian
church at the same hour on some phase
of the temperance work. Several other
speakers will give short talks at the
Young Peoples meetings.
Total abstinence pledge signers will be
secured at most of these services, the
pledge most generally used being that of
the Lincoln Legion. The Lincoln Legion
is a national movement. The pledge is
as follows and is the one that Lincoln
signed when young man and which he
kept throughout his whole career:
whereas, The, use of Intoxicating
liquors as a beverage is productive of
pauperism, degradation and crime, and
believing it is our duty to discourage that
which produces more evil than good, we
therefore pledge ourselves to abstain from
the use of intoxicating liquors as bev-
erage.'

TOWNSHIP MUST DO 1T.
County Will Not Build Approaches to
Bridges.

The board of county commissioners
has decided that the county will not
make appropriations for the building of
approaches to county bridges and that
the townships must bear that expense.
County bridges are built with the
county funds but the commissioners
have held for some years that the town
ships should build the approaches. The
question was revived at the meeting
Friday when Rossville township Off
GERS wished the county to build a steel
span as an approach to a bridge across
Cross creek. The high water last
spring washed the bank away and in
stead of filling in a. dirt approach the
township officers want a steel span 30
feet long. The commissioners decided
that the township must construct the
approach.

Juror in Nan Patterson Case Is Seri-

New York, Nov. 26.-The serious
illness of Edward Dressler. one of the
jurors, which was reported at the
opening of court today, may necessi-
tate a new trial in the case of Nan
Patterson, the former show girl, who
is charged with the murder of Caesar
Young. An affidavit from the sick
Jurors physician which was presented
to Justice Davis said that the patient
had suffered stroke of apoplexy and
that his condition is serious. AS this
was a third attack, fear was at once
expressed that d, sssler might not be
abs to resE IT, his duties and that
the WORK. done during the past two
wees Nould be set at naught-
Miss Patterson vas in court when
the adjournment was announced. She
expressed keen disappointment at the
sudden and unexpected interruption
in the progress of the trial.
I suppose this will mean a new
trial., she said as she was being led
back to her cell in the Tombs. 81
am sorry the juror is ill, both for his
sake and for my own. 1 was sure the
jury would acquit me. If there must
be new trial, hope it will come at
once
