MRS. BLACK IS BETTER
Now Almost Sure Her Foot Will Be
Saved.

Mrs. W. J. Black continues to slow
ly but steadily improve under the care
given her at the Santa Fe hospital. 1t
is now considered assured that it will
not be necessary to amputate her right
foot on account of the injuries which
she received in the Missouri Pacific
wreck. Amputation is now considered
as one of the remOtest of possibilities.
Efforts are now directed towards keep
ing the injured part from becoming in
fected in any manner SO that there
will be no danger from blood poison
ing.
Mr.. Black was up and sat in a chair
most of the day. 1t is now stated
that his weakened back is but a. small
factor in his recovery. 1t has now re-
solved itself into the question of TAX
ing good care that the collar bone may
mend nicely so that it will not incon-
venience him in the free movement
of his right arm.

LIE IS PASSED
Row Breaks Out in French Chamber
of Deputies.

Paris. Nov. 4.-The chamber of
deputies held a tumuItous session to-
day over renewed interpretations on
the subject of the policy of War Min
lister Andre, alleging that he was per
sonally cognizant of the system of
spying upon officers. During the time
when the minister was making his
reply there was a scene of intense con-
fusion. He said that during the
Dreyfus affair some officers partici-
pated in manifestations against Presi-
dent Loubet, and he cited other in
stances showing intolerance and lack
of discipline among officers. The min
lister declared that this was fomented
by political and clerical agitatOrs.
During the maneuvers, he added, a
regimental colonel had dared to re-
place the tricolo rby an ensign bearing
the insignia of royalty. The war min
ister's declaration caused a wild dem
onstration. General Jacquey exclaim-
ing that the minister lied. The presi-
dent of the chamber threatened to
censure General Jacquey, who with
drew his words, and the minister con-
tinued his statement amid great ex-
element.

ED EPPS ON WALL STREET.
Former Topeka Boy Is Attracting At
tention in New York.

Edward E. Epps, formerly of Tope-
ka, has formed a partnership with his
brother-in-law, E. c. Devereaux in the
brokerage business in Wall street, New
York.
Mr.. Epps lived in Topeka for about
II years He married Mrs. Kate Dew
ereaux-F'linton, of Lawrence. He has
been in New York for several years.
Mr.. Epps father is also well known in
Topeka, having lived here many years
The elder Mr.. Epps is now living at
Pittsburg, Pa. The family of M. w.
Van Valkenburg of Topeka are rela-
tives of Mr.. Epps.
The New oYrk Mercantile and Finan-
cial Times says:
with the dissolution of the we'll
known brokerage firm of Lewis, Epps
& Co, of No. Is William street, comes
the announcement that the business of
that house will be taken up by the new
house of Edward E. Epps & Co. at the
same address, this firm having acQuir-
ed the good will and assets of the old
concern and having assumed its liabili-
ties.
THE head of the new firm, Mr.. Ed
ward E. EppS, was one of the founders
of the former establishment and was
in a very large measure responsible for
its brilliant success. He has a wide
acquaintance in financial circles and
bears an enviable reputation as bro
ker of sterling integrity and pronounce
ed business shrewdness. His partner
in the new house is Mr.. E. c. Devereux,
who is also prominent figure in Wall
street and whose speciality, mining
stocks, has been most thoroughly
studied and mastered by him.
"'Inasmuch as the retiring firm en-
joyed the patronage of large clientele
of important operators, and the new
partners control an extensive business
on their own account, the firm of Ed
ward E. Epps & Co. would appear to
be pre-destined to a wide share of
success.
MIR. Epps is naturally familiar with
all of the details of the business of
Lewis, Epps & Co., so that the new
conditions will fit logically into the old
will cause no ripple in the financial
world. The field is to be materially
extended by Mr.. Epps and Mr.. De-
vereux, both of whom are gentlemen
of indomitable energy and executive
ability"

portion to the length of time during
