STATE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.
The Salient Points OF Declarations OF
State Convention.

Wichita, April 1.-THE democratic
state convention adopted a concise but
emphatic platform, of which salient
points are here given.
We, the democrats of Kansas, in
state convention assembled at Wichita,
make the following declaration:
We favor and endorse the lasting
principles of the democratic party as
enunciated in the Chicago platform of
1896, and the Kansas City platform of
1896, and the Kansas City platform of
the present national organization of
the democratic party. We hereby ex-
press our appreciation and the admira-
ton for the candidate of our choice in
two great campaigns, the Honorable
w. ]. Bryan.
We favor the nomination by the next
democratic national convention of men
for president and vice president who
are in sympathy with these principles
and who supported the candidates who
represent them.
That in w. r. Hearst, of New York,
we recognize one of the foremost dem
ocrats of the nation. His uses his OPP
portunities and power in all cases in
behalf of the common people, without
counting the cost to himself. He sim
glc-handed legal contest with the coal
trust, just successfully concluded in
the supreme court, is the most signal
triumph of democratic principles since
the trusts seized the business of the
country.
We endorse the great work he is do
ing in the interest of his party and his
country, and commend his example to
good democrats everywhere.

An Infantryman's Long Siege.
This soldiers tale of food is interest
ing.
During his term of service in 18th
Infantry in Cuba and Philippines, an
Ohio soldier boy contracted a disease
of the stomach and bowels which all
army doctors who treated him pro-
nounced incurable, but which Grape
Nuts food alone cured:
''In October, 1899, when my enlist
ment expired, l was discharged from
the army at Calulute, Philippines, and
returned to the States on the first
available steamer that left Manila.
When l got home 1 was total wreck
physically and my doctor put me to
bed saying he considered me the worst
broken-down man of my age he ever
saw and after treating me months
he considered my case beyond medical
aid. s.~
During the fall and winter of 1900
and 'O1 1 was admitted to the Barnes
Hospital in Washington, D. c., for
treatment for chronic Inflammation of
the stomach and bowels but after s
months returned home as bad as ever.
Il continued taking medicine until
February, 1902. when reading a news
paper one day 1 read about Grape-Nuts

Four Miles.

Washington, April 11.-Mr. Williams
of Mississippi fled in house for repro
duction in the Congressional Record, a
letter from Secretary Moody, giving
detailed history of the use of the May
flower by the president.
He says the Mayfiower is not, as was
stated in the criticism. 1.-The presidents
yacht"
''She receives her orders from the
department the same as other vessels
In accordance with a custom of long
standing, however, a vessel of tn
navy has been at the disposal of the
president from time to time, as he may
desire it. The Mayfower has been the
vessel selected for this service, under
directions from the president that at
no time should she be diverted from
any naval duties for which she might
be needed. 1t would be an injustice
to the officers and men of the May
flower to show that her sole or princi-
pal use was that of yacht.
''The only use Of the vessel made by
the president or by his direction has
been made since the beginning of her
present commission, June %, 1902.
During the twenty-one months she has
cruised twenty-five thousand miles,
which is more than the average of our
naval vessels The president has spent
aboard her at various times total of
something less than forty hours and
has travelled in her ninety-four miles
He has spent one night aboard her, be-
ing detained there by bad weather on
his return from review of the nation
al guard of the state of New Jersey.
Of these forty hours, all except on one
occasion were spent in the performapc e
of official duties. The total time spent
on board the vessel by the presidents
family has been one week and the dis
tance travelled while they were abroad
40 miles
All expenditure of every nature oc-
casioned by the visit of president or
any member of his family or guests
have been paid by him. The May
flower has never been held for the
presidents use, nor at any time has
any money been expended on 'refur-
nishing the ship as the presidents pri-
vate yacht nor for reftting and
repairing for the presidents personal
use,' nor for keeping the Mayfower at
the disposition of the president Since
she last went into commission there
has been absolutely no change in her
interior fittings, except for the comfort
of the crew, the installation of wireless
Geographic apparatus for increased
signalling facilities, and for the in
crease of the battery by an addition
of two four inch breech loading rifles
81 have the honor to say in closing
that, according to the best of my
knowledge and belief, the Mayfower
has not been diverted an hour from
any naval duty for which she was
needed, nor has dollar of the public
money been expended for the pleasure
or convenience of the president or his
family or guests.

Kansas City, April -. = Contracts
were closed and approved at meeting
of the directors ot the new Kansas City
& Olathe electric railway, whereby
more than 800 miles of trolley lines
built and now building in southeast
Kansas will become directly tributary
to Kansas City and will run their cars
into this city as fast as the connecting
links can be laid.
The Kansas City & Olathe electric
road is the keynote to this system of
development and men are building 1T
now as fast as they can, backed by am
pie means. This lines directory has
approved contracts already entered
into for connections and interchange
of traffic with the Kansas City, Bur
lingame & Western Electric railway,
which runs out to Burlington via
Baldwin, and on to Council Grove, 100
miles; with the Kansas City, Ottawa &
Southern, which runs to Garnett and
Burlington, but has a branch to Otta-
wa. and covers eighty-fve miles, and
with the Kansas City Southern Elec-
tric railway, the Crouch lines in South
eastern Kansas, which are now in
operation between Humboldt and lola,
and will be continued now to Pitts
burg, and thence to a connection with
the Joplin system, and. also on the
other side to Garnett, to connect with
the new line, and so into Kansas City,
covering 100 miles. An agreement has
already been made with the new Kan
sas City and Topeka road, and this
road, short of sixty miles long, will
make Topeka within two hours of
Kansas City by trolley. In all, the
systems thus united in common traffic

The Kansas City & OIathe line will
be double track practically all its dis
lance and over it all the rest are to
enter Kansas City. The Topeka line
will be partly double track, and will
be equipped for the highest speed, 40
miles an hour being the already
scheduled time of it's through cars.

Fast express trains will be operated
between the principal points on each
line, and local cars viii care for the
smaller places and the farm traffic.
Through cars at stated intervals will
run from the most outlying points to

will especially cater to the hauling OF

Glover, one of our brightest young
ladies, is receiving the congratula-

was accomplished.

Miss Glover. 81 had neglected myself

immediate attention. I could not
sleep at night, my appetite failed and
my kidneys were affected, causing a
