oil BILL WINS
PARTIAL VICTORY
Provides for Purchase By
Kansas Of State
Refinery
ONE DISAPPOINTMENT OVER IT
State Determination Bill Sent to Sen.
ate-ls Considered Vital BY Friends
of Refinery Project - Bill Fixing
Maximum Freight Rates Passes.

Topeka, Kan, Feb. ia bill pro-
viding for the establishment OF
state oil refinery was passed by the
Kansas house of representatives yes.
terday by a vote of 81 to 30. Cover
nor Hoch will sign the bill at once.
Under it's provisions a refinery will
be erected at Peru, Kansas. Another
penitentiary will be built there to
provide for convict labor for the re-
tnery. An appropriation Of $4,000
is made for building and maintaining
the refinery and penitentiary.
Topeka, Kan, Feb. 1.-THE sup
porters of the bill providing for the
purchase by the state of an oil re-
tinery won partial victory in the
house yesterday. AS special order
of business, the house committee OF
the whole considered the bill pre-
viously PASSED by the senate, fixing
maximum rAilrcad freight rate for
the transportation Of crude oil and
the bill preventing discrimination be.
tween localities in selling any com.
modify in general use. The bill fix
ing maximum freight rates was
recommended to the house and later
passed just as it came from the SEN
ate, but the enemies of the anti-dis.
elimination measure succeeded, after.
a hard fight, in referring that bill to
the judiciary committee.
This latter committee is ordered to
report on the const:tutionality of the
measure and it has been set for con.
sideration on Friday.
While it is believed the action OF
the house on the anti-discrimination
bill does not indicate that the meas
ure will be killed, the friends of the
bill are said to be worried over the
prospect.
The bill is one which the supporters
of the state refinery bill consiIer
necessary in connection with the re.
finery, as 1t would prevent the oil
trust, so called, from underselling
the state in any locality.
The opposition to the anti.discrimt'
nation bill came from the members
who represent the jobbing and whole
sale centers of the state.

February is month of severe storms
and intense cold.
Even in the South where the prevail
ing temperature is much above wintry
ATTITUDES, February brings sudden
changes Of temperature.
Mercury sometimes drops 20 degrees
in single night.
Therefore, the following health hints
are applicable to the whole of North
America:
Ventilation.
The sleeping rooms should be well
ventilated, but SO as to avoid direct
currents of air.
Bsfhinx.
Those in vigorous health should take
cold water towel bath every morning
before breakfast. Those in feeble
health should take brisk dry-towel-
rub every morning.
Diet.
The diet should be a generous one,
including meat, and occasionally fresh
vegetables.
Sunshine.
The nights being long and the days
short, as much sunshine as possible
should be let into the house during
the day.
Clofhins.
The head should be kept cool at all
times. The feet should be kept warm
and dry, day and night.
Rs.ru.na.
When unavoidably exposed to cold or
wet, few doses of Peruna will avert
bad consequences.
Precauffon. .
When seized with chill, or even
slight chilliness, dose of Peruna
should be taken at once.

JOY PREVAILS IN RUSSIA.

Over Cars Admission Of Necessity Of
Zemsky Tabor.
St. Petersburg, Feb. 13.-The news
that Emperor Nicholas has Endorsed
the scheme for the revival of the zem-
sky tabor, or ancient land parliament,
which the old emperors convoked in
times of stress, has spread through
the city and created satisfaction
among the liberal classes. The news
papers this morning were filled with
articles descriptive of this ancient
Russian institution, indicating that
word had gone forth that the govern.
ment had decided to listen to the
voice of representatives of the people.
There is some skepticism as to
whether the government intends frank
ly to take the step; but the general
verdict is that if the emperor has sue
ceeded in shaking off reactionary in
f1uences and now proceeds in good
faith to summon the zemsky tabor, he
will rally to his support the moderate
liberals and perhaps arouse wave of
genuine enthusiasm in the country.

Bishop McVicker, of Rhode Island,
told the members of the Boston
Episcopalian Club one Of the best Of
the Butler stories. Butler was on his
way to Boston to try case before
Judge Shaw. A young friend met him
on the train, and asked him il he
might look at the notes on the case.
Butler acquiesced. The young man,
to his establishment, saw written in
pencil at the top of page !: Insult
the judge" "You see," said Butler,
II first get Judge Shaw's Ill will by
insulting him In some way. Later in
the case he will have decisions to
make for or against me. AS he Is an
exceedingly just man, and as l have
insulted him, he will lean to my side,
for fear OF letting his personal feeling
against me sway his decision the op-
posit way"

Claims That the Navy Failed to Do
Its Duty,

Paris, Feb. 16.-French special cor.
respondents sent to meet the French
steamer, Australia, having on board
General Stoessel and others of the
survivors Of Port Arthur, forward de.
tailed accounts Of discord among the
Russian officers. The army officers
are particularly hostile to the fleet,
habitually calling it the frightened
feet" admiral Locnlnsky, who was
commander of the torpedo defenses
at Port Arthur, is lengthily quoted as
making a bitter criticism Of General
Stoessel, Admiral Alexeff and others.
The Matin quotes Lockinsky as char
acterizing Vice Admiral Stark and
Rear Admiral Without as "bedcham-
Der admirals not acquainted with their
duties and seasick whenever afloat."
The admiral added that Vice Ad-
miral Skrydloff prudentiy established
himself ashore at Vladivostok notwith-
standing his opportunity to break the
ineffective blockade at Port Arthur.
Lockinsky declared he would denounce
Stoessel, .Skrydlof and Alexieff before
Iuo COuII-m1ItlAA do uC uAu AOI AAISAN
to let himself be made a scapegoat
like Rear Admiral Ouktomsky, who
now trembles with fear in a Chinese
hospital" Lockinsky cited many in
stances of the unpreparedness OF the
land and naval defenses, frequent con-
flicts of authority and decentralization
during critical engagements.
Subsequently the same account is
given by four French newspapers
which describe General Stoessel and
Admiral Lockinsky as refusing to
speak to or salute each other. The
papers say the discord among the Of
ficers foreshadows grave scenes be-.
fore the court martial.
The Petit Parisien quotes General
Stoessel as sarcastically saying:
"Rojestvensky had better not estab-
lish a too secure base along the route
or like the naval officers at Port Ar.
thur, it will be impossible to let them
venture seward
The correspondent Of the Petit
Parisien adds: -f.,
General Stoessel cannot pardon the
navy's failure to succor him, while the
navy fully returns his hatred"
The French special correspondents
conclude that the fortress fell large
ly because of the regrettable quarrels
among the officers.
