ORGAN HERE CHRIST MAS
Big Instrument Will Be Ready for Use
Before January 8.

President J. w. Going of the Topeka
Pipe Organ association received word
on Saturday from f. W. Hedgeland of
the Kimbal company of Chicago, that
the Topeka pipe organ would be in this
city by Christmas and would be in
stalled into the auditorium a day or
two before January 8, at which time
the state poultry show is scheduled to
begin.
1t was feared from the recent corra-
spondence which passed between the
association and the Kimba1l company
that the organ could not be installed
until about March 1. because the
makers thought that they could not
complete the big instrument in time to
erect it in Topeka before the poultry
show and the Midwinter fair were put
on at the auditorium.
President Going wrote letter to the
planning in detail why the organ should
be put in at once if possible, and today
he received a reply that efforts are be-
ing made and that the organ would be
in Topeka by Christmas, and would be
completely placed in the auditorium not
more thanatWo weeks later.
The voicing and tuning will probably
take another week, according to Mr..
HedgelandS letter, but this can be done
at convenient timea One Topeka wit
was wondering this morning whether
the tuning and the cacl1le of the chick
ems WOULD throw TIE organ OH us pllCn.
A movement is on foot to have several
concerts on the organ during the Mid
winter exposition. This would doubt
lessly prove a great attraction. The
matter has been presented to Secretary
R. S. Brigham of the fair
According to Mr.. Hedgeland'S letter,
the Kimball company promises to give
Topeka and the country around here
surprise in the way of an organ. The
instrument costs the city of Topeka
$12,0 900, but people who know anything
about organs say that the one to be put
into the auditorium will be worth at
least $1S, 900.
The Kimball company also seemed to
take some offense at the publicity given
to the failure of the Kimball company
by December Is. Mr.. Hedgeland men |
lions that matter and says that the
publicity was tunadviSed.' In regard |
to that Secretary Foster says that the
Kimball company is-one party to the
contract and the public of Topeka the |
other party to the contract to build the |
Topeka organ, and that the people of
this CITY are entitled to an acquaint- |
ance with the progress of the matter.
The delay in the erection of the organ
will not hurt the winters program of |
the Pipe Organ association further than
the December concerts which Professor
Penny had been engaged for These |
will be given during the latter part of |
the winter and the spring. Arrange
ments for the dedication of the organ |
viii not be made for the present. 1t
was planned to have some noted artist |
from the east here on the night of De-
cember Is. The poultry show ana the /
Midwinter fair and the concert of
Melba in the auditorium, will naturally
take up the dates OF the big hall for
the latter half of January and most OF
The dedication will not take
place until about March 1.

Diplomat LOOMS, Body Found.

Kingsbridge, Devonshire. July H.
The body of F. Kent Loomis, who dis
appeared from the steamer Kaiser
Wilhelm II. June 20, as that vessel
was nearing Plymouth was found yes
terday morning at Wardenpoint, ada
cent to Thurlstone Sands, Bigbury bay.
some fifteen miles from Plymouth, by
laborer, Thomas Snowden. 1t was
dressed in a gray overcoat, dark blue
suit and white shirt.
Snowden at once informed the police
and neighbors. When the body was
searched a gold watch and quantity
of American and English money in
notes and coins were found in the
pockets, and also card with the name
IF Kent Loomis." The pockets also
contained number of private papers.
1t has long been the theory of the
relatives of Kent Loomis that he went
upon the hurricane deck to get
glimpse Of the English shore and acci-
dentally stepped overheard. He was
on his way to Abyssinia, carrying the
text of an American treaty to King
Menelik, when he disappeared from

Treatment Of Leprosy.

Captain e. r. Rost of the Indian
medical service has succeeded in cul-
tivating the bacillus of leprosy. ac-
cording to dispatches from Ransoon.
Burmah. says a Times special from
London. He has made substance
from the culture which he calls lepro-
lin, and which, injected into lepers.
has marked beneficial action, alleviat-
ing the symptoms of the disease.
The method of growing the bacillus
is to extract the salts from the nutri-
ent media and Captain Rost has dis
coxered that the bacillus will not grow
in the presence Of the salt. In order
to make such nutrient media he dis
tills beef extract soaked in pumice
stone in a current of superheated
steam and obtains medium in which
the bacillus of leprosy. and. also. that
of tuberculosis, grows with the great
est ease.
Over 100 cases of leprosy are being
treated in Burmah by injections of
this substance. and the treatment is
also being tried in thirty places in In
dia. Already four cases have been re-
ported cured, and in the great major

STRIKE STILL ON.
All Must Go Back, or None.-President
Donneiiy at st. Louis.-says
There VIII BE No Riots.

St. Louis. July 1s.-There was no
change noticeable in the strike situ-
alton in ST. Louis and East st. Louis
packing plants yesterday. The engi-
neers and firemen were the only men
employed about the houses to-day.
Michael Donnelly. international
president arrived from Chicago
and spent much of the day in
conference in East st. Louis with
strike leaders. He addressed mass
meeting of strikers in East st. Louis
city hall. Several thousand men We're
unable to gain admittance. President
Donnelly received an ovation. He
said:
I'VE shall never again enter into
arbitration unless every man. woman
and child who has been discharged or
who is out on strike has been re-
turned to their former positions with
out prejudice. Cattle buyers and 9TH
er men who have been with the pack
ing houses for years have given up
their jobs rather than fill the posi-
tions of the strikers, and we would be
ingrates II we accepted any plan or ac-
quiesce in any movement which would
not result in the immediate re-employ-
ment of these men who had been faith
full to us.
THE strike is only in its infancy.
1t will be the most gigantic in the
history of the country since the coal
strike. The meat strike. affects every
working man. 1t enters into the per-
sonal life of every home. for meat is
an absolute necessity.
No riot shall take place in Chicago
or any other center. and the union Of
ficials and the men must see to this
even if they have to stand insult to
avoid it. There were no riots as re-
ported In Chicago and South st. Paul;
merely brawls between our own men.
I'VE have had the representatives
of the trades unions who are employed
by the packing houses say to us, we
are at your command
whenever we say that they shall
come out, they will march out, to a
man.
"The strike will never be forgotten.
1t will prove one of the best educators
in the history OF the country. 1t will
Illustrate the pre-eminent standing of
the brotherhood of man."
At the conclusion of the meeting
President Donnelly. in an interview,
stated that, according to information
which he had received from John
JOyCt, lHleTHdllOldl bcClStdIg VI thV
union. the packers killed between 500
and 1000 cattle during last week, as
compared with $4,000 to 100000 head
during the same period one year ago.
In three months time" said Presi-
dent Donnelly, "if the strike should
happen to last that long. the packers
cannot get skilled men sufficient to
kill over five per cent. OF the regular
run of cattle.
Should sympathetic strike be
called, it will include the union men in
every division of employment of the
packing houses. This will include the
firemen, engineers, electrical workers,
carpenters, plumbers, painters. coop
ers. steam filters. drivers and railroad
men. The latter will refuse to handle
goods consigned to and from the pack
ing houses. This call will not be
made, until it is deemed absolutely
necessary, but when it is made | have
been assured that they will come out"

Every housekeeper should know
that II they will buy Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundry use they
will save not only time, because it
never sticks to the iron. but because
each package contains 16 oz.-one full
pound-while all other Cold Water
Starches are put up in a-pound pack
ages, and the price is the same, 10
cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch IL free from all injurious chem
icals. II your grocer tries to sell you
12-oz. package 1t is because he has
q stock on hand which he wishes to
dispose of before he puts in Defiance.
He knows that Defiance Starch has
printed on every package in large let

OF Wide Interest.

Breed, Wis. July 1S-Special-
Charles Y. Peterson. Justice OF the
Peace for Oconto Co., has delivered
a judgment that is OF interest to the
whole United States. Put briefly, that
judgment is, "Dodd's Kidney Pills are
the best Kidney medicine on the mar
ket to-day"
And Mr.. Peterson gives his reason
for this Judgment. He says: Last
winter | had an aching pain in my
back which troubled me very much.
the morning could hardly straight
en- my back. did not know what it
was but an advertisement led me to
try Dodd's Kidney Pills. After taking
one box can only say they have done
more for me than expected as | feel

Pain in the back is one of the first
symptoms of Kidney disease. II not
