NEED NOT FEAR.
D. S. Omcer Tells How to Prevent vel
low Fever in Panama.

1.-The Americans need have no fear
of working on the lsthmus of Pam
anna" said Naval Recruiting Onicer
Leukart this morning as he perehed
himself comfortably In big chair at
his Office in the federal building.
"Underclothes, big. heavy wooden
underclothes, will protect him from all
the yellow fever which ever existed
ne continued. II man were simply
to wear winter weight undergarments
through the day, and at night dry
them out thoroughly. ne would need
to worry very little in fear of getting
the dread tropical disease.
You see,a he continued, during
the day the sun beats down very hot
but almost in the twinkIng of an eye,
rain storm may come up and thor
oughly drench everything. The sun
will come out and the sky clear up
again almost as rapidly. The result is
that the ground exudes a lot of vapor,
which gets into the clothes of people
and if they permit this to dry entirely
on their bodies the germs of the fever
are simply transmitted to them right
out of the ground through the vapor.
1--WE learned what to do" he con-
tinued. 1--WE dropped marines off the
northwestern coast of South America
during some of the little rebellions
down there two years ago. They went
inland for a few miles and then we
picked them up at some point along
the shore farther south. A few of the
marines were taken down with yellow
fever, and in fact whole lot of them
were sick. A surgeon from our ship,
the New York, went with the marines
on one of their accommodating ex-
petitions, and he quickly discovered
that the vapors from the ground
which rose after heavy. rains were re-
sponsible for the yellow fever. So he
at once set about to devise some sort
of a protective remedy. After looking
into the matter he decided that plenty

thing which might be devised.
so the next party which was sent
out carried with its baggage enough
underwear to make their haversacks
| look like a gents furnishing store.
After each days march, the men had
to wash out the underclothes which
they wore on that day, dry them thor
oughly, and hang them out to be aired.
/ The next day they had to put on a
different suit of undertaking.
1.-The scheme proved absolutely sue
cessful. Five trips were made after
this plan was put into operation, and
but two men came back on the ship
out of them all, who had temperature
| indicating fever. They were given a
large quantity of whisky, bathed in
| hot water, and put to bed, and within
| "a hours both of them were cool as
| the proverbial cucumber.
mo" continued Mr.. Leukart, sno
| fear need be entertained by people
who want to go to work on the Pan
anna canal if they take care of them
selves properly. Neglect will kill. lots
/ of them probably but in a very great
measure it will be their own fault
The sailors on the ships on which ]
have served, all learned that under
wear was the best yellow fever medi-
cine ever made. and you will find all
| the jackies and marines who make
southern waters, well supplied with
heavy wooden underclothing.

THEY ASK FOR A PARDON.
Delegation of Labette County Citizens
Appeal to Governor.

Representative A. M. Sourbeer of La
bette county, Judge c. II. Klmban OF
Parsons and Rev. J. T. Mortimer of
Cherryyale, called upon Governor Hoch
Wednesday afternoon to urge that he
grant a pardon to Rudolph Brochmann
of Labette county, man who in 1897
was sentenced to the penitentiary for
life for beating his 17-year-old daugh-
ter so severely that it was supposed she
died from the effects of the injury.
Tt is now claimed that a hostile pub
lie sentiment had much to do with
Brochmann's conviction. The people
We're mad because Brochmann's second
wife had compelled the girl to sleep in
the barn, from which she was taken by
Brochmann's brother-in-laW, Jake
K1einfelter. KIeinfelter took the girl to
his home, where she died soon AFTER
and Kleinfelter was the prosecuting
witness against Brochmann.
Kleinfeiter had become very religious
of late, and is one Of those who rec
ommend Brochmann's pardon. This
judge and county attorney in the case
also advocate the pardon.
Governor Hoch promised to investi~
gate the application carefully but he
stated before in connection with the
Willie Sell case, that he does not exc
pect to grant a pardon unless he is
convinced that the convict is innocent
of the crime charged. There would not
be so much mob violence, + said the gov
ernor, IF the people were confident
that criminals would get their just de-
serts and would not be always likely
to get a pardon"

SO that a policy could be inaugurated
and the necessary improvements
adopted. Mr.. Moeser states that the
city stands liable of a severe fire loss

cause of the smallness of the reserve

absolutely imperative that an addi-

The Lawrence World says: A man
in Topeka has written to the State
university to say that the institution
which is up to date in so many things,
ought not to be behind in weather He
says he has noticed carefully, and
while DIR. Shows records the weather
accurately after it has happened, that
it is locking the stable door after the
horse has been stolen. He proposes
to forecast the weather for the uni
versfty. Or. rather. he thinks the
state of Kansas ought to have an Off
cial forecaster and that the station
ought to be in Lawrence. The man
contends that forecasting the weather
/ is a science and should have a depart
ment in the State university the same
as other sciences. The matter has
been referred to the regents for con
sideration.

ARCHAEOLOGICAL.
How Topeka Got Worst of It in Nat
ural Gas Franchise.

Z. H. Pattison, who is now represent
ing the Kansas Natural Gas company
in the securing of franchises from the
various city councils makes a PROPOSE
ton to the city council of Atchison to
furnish that city with natural gas at
maximum rate of IS cents with a 30
cent rate prevailing for the first three
years. A minimum charge is provided
for of so cents. All the city buildings
and lighted free of charge. No special
rate is made for manufacturers. Mr..
Pattison claimed to the city council of
Atchison that no special rate is being
made for manufacturing purposes any
where. This is a new fact. The city
council of Atchison has not yet accept
ed the offer of the Kansas Natural Gas
company It is understood that the
company at present furnishing that city
with artificial gas will act as distribut-
ing agent for the Kansas Natural Gas
company the same as will be done here.
In face of the fact that Mr. Pattison
says it costs more to supply Atchison
with natural gas than towns nearer the
fields like Topeka and Lawrence owing
to the fact that the pipe line will not
have to be constructed for as great
distance. Topeka is bound to a higher
rate. Topeka, nearer to the gas fields
by so miles, has 80 cent rate for man
ufacturers and 40 cents for the private
consumer. Mr.. Pattison claims to the
Atehison council that the Kansas Nat
ural Gas company viii furnish that
town with 25 cent gas for the first two
years. It costs more to the citizens OF
Topeka but costs less to the Kansas
Natural Gas company and the promot-
ers The profits are therefore eorre-
SpOndingIy greater.

HOW TOPEKA GROWS.
Over 100000 Worth of Building
Permits This Spring.

The building permits thus far issued
from the office of Fire Marshal Wilmarth
have aggregated in value for the year 1895
to 1882, $40 For the month of May the per-
mits represented in value $104,30, or S2,l05
less than that of the preceding month Of
April, when they represented an invest
ment of s106. SIS.
Indications are that the building opera
tons will remain fairly brisk through the
months of June and July as well. Very
few business houses of any Importance
have been erected. but there are several
large business buildings and offices under
contemplation to be erected during the
neXt several months enough to give work
to large force of men for a. good pOr-
ton of the year.
The majority by far of the building of
the month of May has been confined to
dwellings. This is the same condition
which has marked the preceding months.
Out Of the 81 permits issued, 81 have been
additions. In the list are two churches,
the most expensive of which was the Sec
ond United Brethren church. which cost
$1,000. Five business buildings are also in
the list, the most important of which are
a laundry costing 5000 and a foundry
costing 5000

"The Marriage of Kitty" is, in my
opinion, one of the few clever farces
seen nowadays which carry the mem.
DRY back to the days when Glowing
and horse play were happily un.
known. While much of the original
veneer of the Marriage of Kitty" is,
no doubt, scratched in the translation
been suppressed, there still remains
enough to appeal to ones intelligent
humor and refined appreciation OF
suggestive hilarity. Although the
fun of the situations are like the wit
neither new nor old-still both are
to a pleasurable extent, different. The
playwright makes no attempt-ano
with joy you witness the effort-to
rub in" anything. There is no chance
for any character in the play to be Sc
rious, and the actor who catches the
spirit of it, while giving free rein
to mirth, can not become clownish
In short it is intelligent, refined, pig
uant farce, and, when properly inter
preted, these qualities stand clearly
uppermost. The sophisticated see in
the theme and situations of the play
much that is striking because so un
affectedly casual. Those who like
their fun cut in thick slices may
think 1.-THE Marriage of Kitty" rather
dry and tame. Those that like to
spread their morals in their laps for a
tombstone might think kitty" wick
ed. The farce will satisfy neither the
circus-minded nor the Puritanic crit
ic, but there are many others to whom
its half-toned Partisan gaiety of fun is
hugely diverting. 1t is too bad that
