" " .i- TT . --Y.-. f5 = Since the death of Max Muller. Prof. Francis A. March of Lafayette Col lege, is universally admitted to be the worlds foremost linguist. Prof. March has an admirable sense of hu- mor, and this humor is permitted to reveal itself often in his conversation. and occasionally in his clear and graceful prose.
 One of the distinguished scholars students. now living in India, sent to Prof. March last week an amusing specimen of Hindoo- English. It was an excerpt from a speech delivered in an Indian court by an attorney, whose client. a widow, had been assaulted. :. It ran:
 My learned frienu. with mere wind from . teapot, thinks to browbeat me from my legs. But this is mere goril- la warfare. I stand under the shoes of my client, and only seek to place my bone of contention plainly in your hon. or's eye. My learned friend vainly runs amuck upon the sheet irons of my case.

A pleasant story about Andrew Car negie was brought from Scotland last week by a tourist.
 "At Skibo Castle the tourist said, MT. Carnegie had during the summer a beautiful rose garden. There were thousands of red and white and yellow roses always blooming there. and the villagers were free to saunter In the garden paths to their hearts content.
 One day the head gardner waited upon MT. Carnegie.
 Sir he said, I wish to lodge a complaint
 " 'Well?" said the master.
 Well, sir the gardner began, I wish to inform you that the village folk are plucking the roses in your rose gar den. They are denuding your rose- trees, sir
 " 'Ah, said MT. Carnegie, gently, my people are fond of flowers. are they, Donald? Then you must plant more.'"
 John Pereivai, Bishop of Hereford, attended the International Peace Con gress in Boston. A lifelong friend of the prelates said of him with a smile:
 When Dr. Percival lived in Birming- ham, he went one Sunday to preach in a village on the Humber.
 The village church was small and only one person was needed to take up the collection. This person, an aged man with an intelligent face, passed up and down the aisles with the collection basket. and. at the end, came into the chancel and advanced to lay the money on the sacrament table. As he came ofrward with his back to the congrega- ton, he did a dreadful thing. From the collection, which was unusually generous, he took a silver half-crown. and this little coin he slipped quietly into his pocket.
 No one had seen him but Dr. Perci- val. Dr. Percival was mortified, but he said nothing. As he preached, the per- fidious old man sat and listened with righteous air The minister could scarcely refrain from denouncing him.
 At the sermons end the old man was the first to offer congratulations.
 An excellent sermon, sir he said The people of Birmingham are to be % VT wish to speak to you,' said Dr. Percival I wish to see you alone Wait for me-
 ''The old man waited, and after the little church had emptied Itself, Dr. Percival said:
 "T saw you take a haIf-crown from the collection basket. Why did you do it?
 The old man smiled
 "Is that what was worrying you, sir?' he said. Well, make your mind easy. That half-crown has done duty this many a year. I keep it to put in the basket first, and then our towns richest men. seeing poor chap like me put in a half-crown, can't for shame give less

SHE IS Acquitted.
Mrs. Lulu Prince Kennedy
Found Not guilty.

Kansas City, Mo-, Jan. 29.-Mrs. Lulu
Prince-Kennedy-K Kramer, on trial
second time for the murder in January,
1901, of her first husband, Philip Ken
nedy, was found not guilty by a jury
here today. At her first trial she was
convicted and sentenced to ten years
in the penitentiary. The case was re-
versed and during her release on bond
last February she married John
Kramer, an attorney, who had defend
ed her brother. Will Prince, who later
was convicted on a charge of conspir-
ing with the defendant to kill Kennedy.
Mrs. Kennedy killed Kennedy, who was
local agent for the Merchants Dispatch
Transportation company, a month after
they had been married. He had refused
to live with her, bringing suit to have
the marriage annulled on the ground
that he had been forced into it,
The first verdict was reversed on
technicality. Mrs. Kennedy's defense
was emotional insanity. and evidence
was presented to show that her grand
father and great grandfather had died
in insane aSvlums.
The verdict of acquittal was found
solely on the ground that Mrs. Ken
nedy was insane when she shot her
husband. The jury, however, found
that the defendant has since regained
her sanity" which will save her from
being sent to an insane asylum.

The house went into the committee of
the whole for the consideration of the
urgent deficiency bill. The reading of
the bill under the fve-minute rule was
begun, when Mr.. Hill Comm made a
point of order against the paragraph
appropriating $1,000 for the expenses
of the commission on international ex-
change appointed to bring about a fixed
relationship between gold standard and
silver using countries He contended
that it was new legislation and the

The point of order was sustained and

IN THE SENATE
Washington, Jan. 29.-Mr. Hoar was
in the senate today for the first time
SINCE ln6 uedtn OF MS VIE a month
ago.
The Democratic caucus resolution
calling on the president to inform the
senate whether all the papers in pos
session of the executive bearing upon
the Panama revolution had been sent
to the senate was Immediately taken
up, the especial question under consid-
GRAFTON being the motion of Mr.. Cullom
to add a clause relieving the president
of the necessity of supplying the docu-
ments if considered Incompatible with
the public interest
Mr.. COckreu cOntended that the SEN
ate has no right to ask for information
concerning a treaty while 1t was under
negotiation, but it had the right to all
possible information after the negotia-
tions were completed and the treaty
sent to the senate.
Mr. McLaurin spoke in support of the
resolution and in opposition to the
amendment Referring to the treaty
with Panama Mr.. McLaurin said that
1.-The very first article of the treaty
is a declaration of war against Colon
bia, if Colombia sees proper to assert
its authority in the face of the United
States" and he argued that this being
so, the senate should have full infor-
nation as to whether the United States
had anything to do in establishing the
government of Panama that would JUS
tify US in taking the responsibility OF
provoking a possible war.
The vote then was taken on the Col
lum amendment inserting the discre-
tionary clause and the motion pre-
vailed 80 to 20, a party vote with the
exception of Mr.. McEnerey, who voted
with the Republicans.

VOICE FROM JACKSON.
e, III. Ruffner Gives a Few Facts
About HOyt Primary.

A good many of the Republicans at
Hoyt, in Jackson county, resent the i'm
putations of the Curtis Walker people
that So Democrats voted in the primary
there slast Friday for Broderick and
Thompson E NJ. Ruffner of Hoyt is
in Topeka today and in speaking of the
matter he sand:
There were not more than three or
four men who voted for Broderick to
whom objections could possibly have
been raised, and each one of them is
now a Republican and was ready to
swear his vote in. That the Curtis
Walker forces kenw they We're all right
is shown by the fact that their votes
We're not even challenged, although the
Curtis Walker people had judge and
clerk on the election board.
*On the other hand we can get afff-
davits from two men that some of the
Curtis Walker people tried to buy their
votes. We don't know how many they
succeeded in buying, but notwithstand-
ing that the vote stood 105 for Brod-
erick and Thompson to 81 for Curtis and
Walker.
''The other fellows claim that S. E.
Lyons arbitrarily organized the primary
but that is untrue AS the county COM
mitteeman for that township he had a
right to do so, but instead he named
a Judge and a clerk in addition to him
self and allowed the Curtis-W Walker
forces to name the other judge and
clerk, and they selected E. H Hall for
their judge and NJ. Porter for their
clerk Both are strong Curtis Walker
men. Nothing could have been fairer.
The way they are trying to override
the majority in Jackson county is
losing them friends even from among
those who supported them in the pri-
maries.'
The Holton Recorder also publishes
the following concerning the Mayetta
primary, which was carried by the
Curtis Walker forces. This is the pre-
cinct in which It is alleged the Curtis
Walker workers ran in settlers off the
Pottawatomie reservation and voted
them. The Recorder says:
THE Republican vote in Mayetta in
1902 for secretary of state was los, and
the total vote us. Last Friday at the
primary which was run by a Curtis
Walker central committeeman and a
board OF his choosing, the total vote
cast was IT'S, which was three more
than the total of Democrats and Re
publicans two years ago If only Re
publicans had been allowed to vote, the
81 votes cast for Broderick and Thomp-
son would have left but Al for Curtis
and Walker. and shows that the 20
other votes received for that ticket to
make the III reported must have been
Democrats -

WARNED TO TURN BACK
Thibet Issues an Ultimatum to
Advancing British.

Chumbi British India, Jan. 29.-Col.
Younghusband, commanding the Brit
ish expedition to Tibet, has received
personal visit from the Depon-Lama,
one of the five great Lamas of Tibet,
who delivered an ultimatum warning
hirn to return to Gnatong and promis-
ing that there would be serious trouble
if he did not do so. Large reinforce
ments of infantry and cavalry have al
ready reached the Tibet camp and
more are coming from Lhana and
Shigatso, the western capital. It is
expected an attack will be made on the
British camp at Tuna when the Tibet
ans are sufficiently reinforced In the
meantime the British are pushing the
work of road making through a gorge
north of Lingmathang which is said to
be more difficult to traverse and higher
than the kyber pass. The military tel
egraph is keeping pace with the road
makers. All this work is being done
in the face of the arctic weather. The
British expedition is still waiting a
proper report from the Dalaf-Lama at
Thasa. A flying column under COM
nand of Col. Mcdonald is ready to
push forward at any moment should
necessity arise

CUT GRAIN RATES.
Santa Fe Reduces Galveston
Rate Five Cents.
Expects That Other Roads Will
Meet Cut.
CUTS OUT KANSAS CITY
Rock Island Reduction of Two
Cents Via That Center.
Nav Make Kansas Storm Center
in Rate War.

Kansas is the storm center for a
freight rate war in grain, and within the
next fortnight, it is likely that the state
will be pretty thoroughly drained of the
10000, 600 bushels of wheat which are
supposed to be still held by the farm
ers.
Thursday the Santa Fe announced a
cut of 5 cents per hundred in the rate
on grain from interior Kansas points to
Galveston by the direct route. This
means that the grain will not be sent
around by way of Kansas City, but will
move direct from Kansas over the G.
c. & S. F. to the gulf port It is ex-
pecter that the other roads will meet
the Santa Fes cut for gulf business.
and the probability is that the eastern
roads, which depend for their business
on the haul to Minneapolis, Chicago or
eastern ports, will make a deep slash
in the rates to turn some of the busi-
ness in that direction instead of allow
ing it to all slip away by the back
door, of the gulf.
In addition to the cut made by the
Santa Fe, the Rock Island and Missouri
Pacific have given notice of a reduction
of cents in the rates to the gulf via
Kansas City.
The Rock Island issued the following
circular last night:
Effective February 1, proportional
rates via the Chicago. Rock Island &
Pacific railroad, on grain, carloads. from
Kansas City to Galveston, Texas, for
export, will be as follows:
Wheat, 515 cents; corn, II cents. This
is a reduction of cents per cwt. from
the present rates. -
Some of the lines, and it is thought
all will follow, have reduced the pro-
| portiona1 rate FROM Kansas City to
| Gulf ports cents a hundred. The
1 through rate from interior points to
| gulf ports has been reduced cents,
and the through rates to Mississippi
river points ana Chicago are reduced
but cents a hundred, or the same as
the reduction on the proportional rates.
AS a result of the reduction of cents
to gulf ports as against a reduction of
only cents to Eastern and Atlantic
ports will leave the latter cents out
of line as compared with the recent
adjustment.
1t has long been a dispute between
eastern lines and gulf lines as to the
differentials which should be accorded
| gulf ports under Atlantic ports, and
this reduction serving to increase The
| gulf differentials under the Atlantic
ports will doubtless cause a further re-
! duction in the rates from Missouri riv-
| er points east.
The rate war affects the grain dis
! trict extending from the Dakotas 10
| Oklahoma, but the reduction of cents
from interior points does not extend
further south than the Kansas state
| line on the south.
It is thought that the chaotic condi-
! tion which now exists in the rates will
! not last more than two weeks and the
| lines will come together and readJust
them. For three months there has
been no understanding on this question
and it is hoped that rates which will
not discriminate against this city Will
| be made.
