CHEATED FOR YEARS
Prejudice VIII Cheat Us often If We
Let II.

Lex
You will be astonished to find how
largely you are Influenced in every way
by unreasoning prejudice. In many
cases you will also find that the preju-
dice has swindled you, or rather. made
you swindIe yourself. A case in illus
tration:
7 have been a constant user of Grape
Nuts for nearly three years. says a
correspondent, land am happy to say
that I am wei pleased with the result
of the experiment, for such it has been.
Seeing your advertisement in almost
all Of the periodicals. I for a long time
looked upon it as a hoax. But after
years OF suffering with gaseous and Bit
ter quotations from my stomach, to-
gether with more or less loss of appetite
and flesh, I concluded to try Grape
Nuts food for a little time and note the
result.
Il found it delicious. and it was not
long till I began to experience bene-
fetal effects. My stomach resumed its
normal state, the quotations and bitter
ness both ceased and I have gained all
my lost weight back.
7 am so we'll satisfied with the result
that so long as I may live and retain
my reason Grape-Nuts shall constitute
quite a portion of my daily food Name
given by Postum Co, Battle Creek,
Mich
There's a reason.

SUSPECTED OF CHILD MURDER.
Minnie Lewis, Young Negro Woman,
Is Under Suspicion.

A suspected case of infanticide, ac-
cording to Coroner H H Keith was
called to his attention this morning,
for which he ordered a post mOrtem
and inquest to be held this afternoon
at the undertaking rooms of Stone
street & Hamilton.
On Friday morning. Minnie Lewis,
an unmarried negro girl about 20
years of age, gave birth to a boy child.
1t was in good health and perfectly
well. Mrs. Mary Anderson attended
the mother when the baby was born,
and when she left them alone together
last night at their home, sos East
Fifteenth street, the child was in ap-
parent entire health.
This morning the baby was dead.
It's little form was badly crushed
especially over the breast. Minnie
alone all night She said that while
asleep she rolled over on the baby
and crushed it, but knew nothing
about it until this morning, when she
found the child beside her in the bed,
cold in death.
THE case looks very suspicious to
me-" said Coroner Keith this morn
ing "Of course it may be possible
that she crushed it while asleep, as
she said she did. but then. I'm not
willing to let it go at that. I am just
a little suspicious, so / ordered a post
mortem and inquest at the undertake
ing rooms of Stonestreet & Hamilton
this afternoon"
DR. Keith informed the county Off
Gals of the matter this morning, but
no warrants were sworn out.
Due to CareIessness.
In the Minnie Lewis infanticide case
today the coroner's jrry decided that
the child came to it's death by the care
lessness of its mother.

HARMON IN THE TOLLS.
Aged Kansas Free Lover Held on Same
Old Charge.

Chicago, Feb. 25-For years, it is de-
clared, Moses Harmon. more than sc
years old, has been the editor of a mag
azine which constantly wars against mar
riage and against the treatment and ed
ucation given young women by their
mothers, and has twice served terms in
the penitentiary, so great was his love
for his theories.
After his release from the penitentiary
several months ago he again took up the
editorship of his paper, entitled the Luz
offer, with the result that ne has been
arrested by a deputy United States mar
shall on a charge of sending prohibited
matter through the mails. He was held
900.
In connection with the printing of the
Lucifer, Harmon, it is alleged has pub
lished a large number of books and arti-
cles written by a woman, all of which
strike at the base OF the sacredness OF
marriage and the proper teaching and
rearing of girls.

ATTACKS MONET
Washington Despatch Says He
VIII be Descredited.
Won't Be Appointed by Depart
ment of Commerce.
DOESN'T WANT TT.
Former Ohio Official Says He
Isn't an Applicant.
Charges the Reports to Standard
Oil Sources.

Washington, Feb. 25.=Frank D.
Monet, of Ohio, will probably not be
designated by COMMISSIONS Garfield
of the bureau of corporations to act
as special agent for the bureau in the
Standard Oil investigation in Kansas.
Monet, it seems, practically had
arranged a deal with the Kansas oil
producers to represent them in the
investigation. He temporarily passed
up the matter pending an effort he
sought to have made in Washin gton
to be designated as a government spe-
cial agent.
The oil men of Kansas it is under
stood then directed their efforts
toward such designation by Commits
sioner Garfield of the bureau of cor
porationS. Monet, so it is alleged,
the only man who ever successfully
opposed Standard Oil in Ohio as at
torney general for the state. Monet
and prominent Ohio men in congress
and out who are here now do not
agree as to Monett's estimate of his
great ability. The OhioanS declare
Monet has no legal ability and that
it was D. NJ. Watson, a former MEM
performed the deeds claimed by Mo-
nett as his own.
So Monet may now accept the prop
osition of the Kansas oil men,
Says It's Standard Oil.
When shown the above dispatch this
afternoon, Mr.. Monett at once pro-
ncunced it a Standard Oil move.
See here, Walsh, here is the tack the
Standard is taking today" addressing
c. A Walsh, the representative of w.
r. Hearst, who is accompanying him
here.
Mr.. Monet believes the Standard Oil
people are making an attack on him
personally in washington.
In the first place." said Mr.. Monet,
4 did not ask for the appointment in
connection with the federal inquiry.
Neither did I pass up the matter of
representing the Kansas oil producers
during the investigation. This man
Watson, mentioned in this dispatch, was
a Hanna appointee, and the Ohio boys
are trying to jolly him a little, guess
and Mr.. Monet smiled.
1T was not Mr.. Monet who asked
for his appointment as special agent
for The bureau of corporation in the
Standard Oil investigation, but 1t was
the Kansas oil producers said Mr..
Walsh. 1.-The oil men employed him
as their attorney and they requested
that he be made a special agent to
represent the oil producers in the in
quiry, which was perfectly just and
proper"
Mr. Monet is now going through
the Kansas statutes and figuring on
the best method of attacking the trust.
The upholding of the Kansas anti
trust law by the United States SUI
preme court comes at an extremely
opportune time, and Mr.. Monet is
carefully studying this statute in con-
nection with others today. There is
one provision in the Ohio law that he
thinks would be a good thing in Kan
sas. That is a provision making hear
say evidence competent in a case of
this kind, for it compels the other
side to assume the burden of proof.
which is an important matter in deal
ing with a trust which keeps every
thing as secret as possible.

JUDGE dunno NAMED.
Nominated for Mayor of Chicago by
the Democrats.

Chicago. Feb. 25.-Edward F.
Dunno, Judge of the circuit court, was
unanimously nominated by the Demo-
cratic city convention today as candi-
date for mayor of Chicago. The party
platform declares the issue to be
whether the expressed will of our
own citizens or "the interests of a
Wall street syndicate" shall direct
public policy regarding the ownership
and control of the city streets for
traction purposes. The platform de-
mands that the people now assert
their rights and proceed to bring
about municipal ownership and opera
ton of the street car lines.

ignored the Price raid resolution
unanimously passed by this senate
early in the session. I now under

Mr.. Beekman was absent from the

be secured from him. 1t is possible
that his report was due to some mis-
take
The members of the committee
seem to think that it was a deliberate
plan to assassinate the bill, and leave
the gas producers without any pro-
lection whatever.
The bill which has caused all the
trouble is the substitute for senate bill
256, by Senator Porter. The bill does
not allow pumps to be used to draw
gas out of the gas wells by artificial
pressure, but it permits the use of
pumps out on the pipe line, to force
the gas along from the storage tanks.
such a bill as this said one of the
members of the committee from the
to protect us from having our gas all
pumped out and the wells spoiled
within few years. Without this bill.
we are utterly at the mercy of the
pipe line companies and so the COM
mittee wanted this bill reported fav-
Orably. Some members of the COM
mittee discovered accidentally that
such a bill had been passed by the
senate and messaged to the house, and
we started an investigation. We we. 2
astonished to find that the bill had
been adversely reported from our own
committee, and that it was filed away
with the dead timber. None Of the
committee know anything about it.
We elected Mr.. Banks as temporary
chairman of the committee in the alb
sence of Mr.. Beekman, and secured
the consent of the house to reconsider

Salaries Are Fixed.
Il don't want any more watchdog
business in mine; they can plumber the
state treasury all they want to-.
This is what "BilI' Hackney says.
Bill has had troubles of his own in
large applications since his committee
was given the job of fixing up laws to
provide salaries for all the state house
employees not specified in the law.
There will be no report from the
Hackney committee today. Mr. Hack
ney says the committee wants to check
over its work 1t is expected that the
omnibus salary bill will be introduced
Monday. The list of positions and sal
aries which will be reported is practi-
cally the same as it is at present. with
the exception of the Stenographers at
the uniform basis of $500 a year. Some
of the stenographers now get $500, some
get s., 200. and there are all degrees be-
tween. The committee has come to the
conclusion that $500 is about the right
price for any kind of q StenOgrapher.
The janitors around the state house,
also the firemen, Will be rejoiced to
know that they are given an increase
in pay of 500 a year Instead of get
ting 5000, they will be allowed $500.
1t has been decided that the dep
uty bank examiners will be allowed
$500 a year. This is the job upon
which Mr.. Hackney made his big
fight. Hackney said that $1,000 was
enough for any deputy; that he could
hire 500 men right here in Topeka at
a salary of $1,000 who are just as
competent as any of the deputies now
in the bank commissioners Office.
