Lady Moore, says a writer in a
 sporting journal, is the first English
 woman to depart from the tinfe-hon- ored custom of being identified with
 the raising of only single breed of dogs and to follow the idea of the
 mixed kennel as found in Americas. At Cruft's dog show in London, Lady
 Moore was one of the most notable ex- hibitors. Some of her best known
 dogs are the toy white French poodles,
 Wang of Braywick. So enthusiastic a
 dog fancier has Lady Moore become that she has planned the establishment of new kennels at Limehurst, Roe hampton, her country residence. Miss Armyne Gordon, Lord Granville Cor don's daughter, has commanded con- siderable attention for the rare colors exhibited by her kennel in teams. This year it is Miss Gordon's intention to create a vogue for cream colored elbows, bred from her own kennels of famous blues. This breed originally belonged to the Dowager Marchioness of Huntley, mother of Lord Granville Gordon. Miss Gordon's mother was one of the original founders of the La dies Kennel association of England.
 Miss Gordon's champion Blue Blood has won seventy-two first prizes, be- sides cups and medals. This energetic young woman may be regarded as the ! type of the English girl athlete. She ! plays hockey on the Middlesex team
 ] has hunted with as many as eleven of l the chief packs, won q fifty-yard swim
 ming race at the Bath club, and has walked q distance of twenty-five miles from London to Hertford-in six
 hours and forty minutes. While 1T l Scotland she firmly refuses to do else
 than play golf and drive her auto car.

bed, and he took a shot at the man who was supposed to be behind it from under the bedding, not taking his re-, volver out, for fear the light on tho barrel would reveal him to the bur- glar. The powder set fire to- the bed clothing and the shot struck the wall, rebounding onto the bed. .'
 The neighbors have been as badly scared as Knauss for fear some of the aimed-at-nothing shots which have been disturbing their slumbers should take a notion to enter their houses. After remonstrating with MT. Knauss and the members of the family with out success and trying to convince them that the lights seen were not from burglars lantern, but were caused by the swinging of the arc light on the corner, near by, caused by the high winds which have been prevailing so much of the time, they called on the police.
 An officer visited the house the other night and remained until he found to his own satisfaction that the staEtling illumination did come from the street light. and succeeded in convincing most of the family. But MT. Knauss had be- come so imbued with the burglar idea that he could not be convinced, and was sure that he had not only seen lights, but that he had heard door knobs stealthily turned after all of the family had retired.

locking with the rail on the lower sur face. Thus, with the electric energy carried through the medium of the aeroplanes just enough to cause the rush of air to light the weight of the car, keeping it somewhere balanced between, the upper and lower drivers. with the result that from above or be- low his machine will receive the force of the driving wheels at all times.
 The lower aeroplane in the pair is to be five and half feet above the top of the car, and the upper plane will bs four feet above the other. The pair will be tipped as the needs of the car require. The faster the speed the less weight MT. Reeve proposes to have upon the rails, but in the main he wishes to get his speed from the force of the upper rather than the lower drivers.
 No matter what the speed, he hopes to have acquired absolute safety through putting double fanges upon each of the eight drivers in the car, making it impossible for the machine to leave the rails. These wheels are nearly four feet in diameter, and, fig uring upon the speed acquired by the German aerial railway, the inventor explains that these big drivers will make eight miles a minute as easily and with more safety than the one- foot drivers under the German car make their 200 miles an hour. 1. ':It is friction only that has prevent aJ fba German carS from ta aa 200 miles an hour that were credited to them in the beginning" said Mr, Reeve to a Chicago Tribune man. "Ir my car the aeroplanes will do away with the weight and, consequently, with the friction on the journals, such as the Germans have had to contend with, and I see scarcely limit to the speed that may be attained on an air line, with a rotary motion rather than a piston stroke in the motors

There are, of course. two stand points from which Russia's motives ana actions in the far east may be Judged, says a writer in Ieslie's Monthly. She has constructed rail- ways through fertile regions, hitherto inaccessible; built fine towns. mills and factories where before nothing of the kind existed, and established orderly government where formerly misrule prevailed. In doing these things she mas made enormous expenditures, thereby creating important interests which she has now a valid right to protect. Considering the methods by which Russia gained a hold on Man chufla and the means she has taken to strengthen and perpetuate it; consider Ing, also, the ulterior object her actions have plainly shown she has all the tune had in view, this argument, let ne say with all due respect, puts the cart before the horse. It is the same as if, having obtained your permission to erect q building on your laaad for our Joint use and benefit, and having built far more elaborate structure than was originally planned, I claimed exclusive ownership and control, not only of the building and the land on which it stood, but also of your ad- joining property, because I had spent a great deal of money in the enterprise and had succeeded in constructing a very fine building indeed. The justice of such a claim, as between individ- uals, could hardly be admitted, and Yet it differs in no degree in principle from the claim Set up on Russia's be half in the extension of railway enter. l prises in Manchuria.

LITTLE DROPS OF WATER. y

In Galesburg, III, there lives an el- der1y lady whose rhythmic words near ly every English speaking person has recited. She is Mrs Julia A. Carney, the author of the famous poem Little Drops of Water,Y and she is nearly S2 years old. While Mrs Carney has de- voted most of her life to writing, pub fishing greater part of her widely read poems anonymously, her popular lty rests upon the one short poem Little Drops of Water,'' as it is popl1- larly known, or "Little Things which, the author says, is the real title.
 |. A short time ago I had the pleasure of visiting Mrs Carney, who lives in a small, prettily situated house. I was escorted to her room and found her at a small writing table Something in the radiance of her pleasant counte- nance told me that | was more than welcome, and without hesitation took advantage of the situation. I directed few questions concerning the writing of Little Drops of Water"
 The poem was written while Mrs Carney was attending a class ill pho- nography held in the Old fremont temple, Boston, fifty y-nine years ago, She wrote it in ten minutes merely as an exercise in meter which q professor desired the students to practice. The next morning she made a few changes ill it, adding a verse or two, for she enjoyed teaching Sunday school class, and thought that it might be well to read her verses as poetic les son. This she did on the following Sunday, and the parents of some of the children sought publisher for the young authoress. Several periodicals published the poem soon after.-Suc- cess. 4,

TORNADO NOT IN IT.
ELECTRIC ROAD THAT PROMISES
 TO BE A HUMMER.
Passengers Can Eat Breakfast in New York, Take Luncheon at Denver
 and Enjoy Dinner at San Francisco.

Driving a loaded passenger car which weighs nothing upon the rails of the elevated structure, which shall serve only to guide it, Charles B. Reeve, with a law office at Chicago, is looking for ward to 8 transcontinental electric line which shall enable the New York CT to eat an early breakfast at home, a luncheon in Denver, and late din- ner in San Francisco, all on sum- mer's day.
 Two hundred and forty miles an hour, with absolute safety to the pas senger or 10 the transcontinental last mail, is one of the claims for the car. An elevated structure that shall weigh only one-fifth that of the ordinary ele- vated structures in the cities is anoth- CT feature of the patents, dependent upon the elimination of weight upon the rails. Lack of sriction upon the journals, due to this disposition of weight, is to make ball bearings pos sible, and with these the inventor sees the elimination of distance.
 The invention of Mr. Reeve is an outgroWth of a design for an airship in which the aeroplane figured. The original design contemplated the draw ing of a floating car through the air, with the motors travelling upon paral- Tel cables on each side of the right of way. But from this MT. Reeve decided to suspend car from two rails set the width of an ordinary passenger coach apart, and elevated according to the topography of the country and the obstacles which cities and towns might have left in his way.
 With the car suspended from these rails, using drive wheels of cog gear ing, interlacfng with a track of like pattern, two aeroplanes, each of three times the width and length of the car, are placed above the rails and an- chored to the top of the car and to four other cogged drive wheels inter-

To the Editor of the State Journal.
The frantic efforts of the Topeka
Capital to nisrepresent the people of
jackson county and prejudice their
rights by publishing to the state that
the congressional convention which as
sembled in the tabernacle at Holton on
the I'd inst, imperiled the public safe
ty and that the citizens who had as
sembleds to witness the proceedings
We're chiefly composed of booze fighters,
thugs and outlaws is only equalled in
moral turpitude by its fraudulent and
revolutionary attempt to disfranchise
the delegates of Jackson and other
counties in the district and thereby
force the nomination Of it's favorite for
congress against the will of the ma
jority.
The men assembled at the tabernacle
on that occasion were farmers and =e-
putable business men, nor were they
meditating any violence; but they
knew that the Curtis managers, disap-
pointed in their defeat at the polls, had
adopted rules by which all were to be
excluded from the tabernacle except
the delegates from three counties, the
uSurperS, and a handful of Curtis sym
pathiZerS. This scheme was resented
so the rightful delegates and their
friends marched to the tabernacle first
and entered; they did not break the
doors, nor did they at any time close
the doors against any persons. Their
acts were open. The tabernacle had
been hired for the convention and it
was arranged by the congressional
committee that the convention be held
there.
The real objection of the Curtis peo-
pie was to having the rightful dele
gates from Jackson, Atchison and LeaV-
enworth, and some of the friends on
the inside to witness the fraud and out
rage that the Curtis committee had
planned to perpetrate; that of unseat-
ing the legally elected delegates and
seating usurpers.
The tabernacle audience was compos-
ed of as fine a body of representative
men as ever assembled in the state and
had not Mr. Curtis and his hackers
contemplated and determined upon do
ing an unwarranted and revolutionary
act they would have been only too glad
to have met and transacted the bust
ness of the hour in their presence. But
the offense was too grave to be con-
summated in the presence of thou
sand witnesses; so they refused to at
tend the convention ordered by their
committee, secured a small hall located
in another block, bolted, and craven
like hurried over, went through the
farce of organizing, and announced the
nomination of Mr.. Curtis.

K.U.BEGINs OUTDOOR WORK
Jayhawker Track Team Is Being In
structed by Fay Moulton.

Lawrence, Kan. March 2.-Tuesday
was the busiest day in athletics that
the Jayhawkers have had since foot
ball season. Coach Moulton appeared
for the first time and put the track
men through their first workout under
his tutelage.
Moulton, who has offered his ser
vices to the Kansans gratis, prefers to
hold his standing as an amateur ath-
lete rather than to lose it by being
a professional track team coach. He
will live in Kansas City, making regu-
lar trips to Lawrence to give the men
instruction. Today the men showed
considerable improvement in some of
the departments, especially in starting
and the manner in which they carried
themselves in the sprints. The track
practice was held outdoors for the first
time this season.
Kansas has secured another well
known track man to instruct the men
with Moulton. He is J. E. Mullfgan of
Minneapolis, Kan, who was captain of
the Georgetown varsity track team
and who has a well established reputa-
ton for field work. Mulligan will give
the team his undivided attention, be-

ANOTHER NEW STORE.
New Era to Open at Barnum's Old
Stand.

Next Saturday morning will add an
other large store to the business dis
trict of Kansas avenue. By that time
Mr. Louis Spear expects to open the
doors of the New Era" located in the
building recently vacated by Barnum's
dry goods store. Mr.. Spear thinks the
name a good one for the place, which
has been occupied for the past thirty
five years by Barnums. Everything
will be new but the building and its
associations as an old time business
stand The New Era" will contain
nothing which is not new. The stock
which will be displayed Saturday morn
ing never rested on shelves before it
was unpacked in the building, and is
composed of up-to-date dry goods,
ladies' furnishings and millinery.
Mr.. Spear has been in business In
North Topeka for ten years. He and
his brother built up a thriving bust
ness in the New Era" department
store, and refused to give up when the
flood destroyed a large portion of the
stock They saved what they could and
sold it for what they could get, and fol-
lowed by Immediately restocking the
store.
The old Barnum store is in an excel
lent location in the principal business
district, and Mr.. Spear considers him
self lucky in securing it. Extensive
house cleaning andrevarnishing is being
done, and large shipments of dry goods
being unpacked in anticipation Of a good
business from the start.

THE WAR
IN THE EAST
West, North and South That stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets are Waging Against
All Forms of Stomach Trouble.
Can Only End One Way.
aYspepsia Will be Driver On the Earth

dyspepsia viii be Driven Of the Earth.
The great and effective work of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is no longer
confined to America. They are being
used now all over the world, Cor their
fame has spread throughout foreign
countries and they cure dyspepsia in all
lands and all climates just as well as
they do at home. In fact, surroundings
and conditions never interfere with the
successful work of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets not even the conditions of the
stomach itself. They go ahead in their
own natural way regardless of the
stomach and digest the food that the
bad stomach cannot digest, and permit
that organ to do just as it pleases. rest
up take a vacation, get well or what
not The stomach, however, always
makes it point to get we'll when it has
nothing else to do. That's what stom-
achs always have done and will con-
tinue to do when they have the oppor-
tunity.
A prominent Detroit physician says:
II prescribe Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets
for all cases of stomach trouble. I have
tried many prescriptions, including a
number of my own, but find nothing
that gives such universal relief as this
remedy They are natural, harmless
and thoroughly effective in their work,
and while l have a natural antipathy
to patent medicines, I do not hesitate
to prescribe and recommend Stuart's
Dyspepasia Tablets on all occasions
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for sale
by all druggists at fifty cents a box.
They are so well known and. their popu-
larity is so great that a druggist would
as soon think of being out of alcohol
or quinine. The above testimonial of
the physician is, no exception In fact,
physicians are prescribing them all over
the land and if your own doctor is real
honest with you he will tell you frankly
that there is nothing on earth SO good
for dyspepsia as Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
