Egypt an Cure For sunstroke.

Egypt an Cure For Sunstroke.
Travellers In Egypt must often have
noticed curious scars upon the fore
heads Of the natives. though pernap.
they have not discovered its signifi-
canoe. II is sign that the man who
bears 1t has had, or has fancied that
he had sunstroke.
The formula for the malady is curl
ous and typical Eastern. The victim
must be laid full length upon the
ground and massaged from the feet
upward. The sunstroke is some form
OF evil genius which must be squeezed
and forced into one spot. This the
massage accomplishes. When the
masseur has done his best to this end,
and assumes that the virus of the
enemy Is all concentrated in the fore
head of the patient. then the teeth Of
the operator are applied to the in
fected area. and a piece of the flesh
Of the forehead bitten out.
The strange thing is that the treat
ment Is said TO be Invariably effica-
cious. 1t may be faith cure, or IL
may be that the sunstroke itself was
imaginary-the cure is sure.

seems clear. This is particularly so
concerning items making UP $14,329.01
unacc0unted for upon coupons stamped
property Of the permanent school fund.
Again there are large items entering in
TO make up the S60,319.90 for which the
right of the state to demand an account
ing is not so clear. This applies in par
ticular to the large item of S23,092.05
claimed upon coupons not stamped as
propertv of the permanent school fund
and payment not traced to the treasurer
or to his account at the fiscal agency.
The explanations offered by the
treasurers upon this item, as well as
upon others entering into the total sum
held to be accountable for, are most
plausible. The right of the state to
claim payment of the many items
varies in apparent strength from what
appears absolute and conceded right
upon some items all the way to right
that seems. to say the least, uncertain.
In demanding the accounting for the to-
tai amount Of coupons held to be ac-
courtable for. it is difficult TO determine
in what Instances the apparent right of
the state should yield to explanation
and where it should still be asserted

Under such circumstances L hold that
no one has the right or authority to
abandon the states apparent claims by
accepting explanations, however plausi-

and inquiry that the law provides for.
1t is the duty of every official to pro-
mote such inquiry and if it viii, as it

people, and none more than the trea-
surers interested, should desire that it
be made. I therefore shall direct the at
torney general to bring proper actions
against the treasurers for the recovery

able for, and to conduct the proseeu-
ton of such suits with special reference

FLORISTS ARE EXCITED.
Purchase of Kansas Day Club Flowers
in Chicago Arouses Them.

The Kansas Day club is being
called to account by some Topeka
florists because the SOC carnations
which viii lie at the plates at the
banquet were bought in Chicago.
The difficulty seems to have been
an inability of the local florists to meet
the price which the Chicago jobbers
offered. Mrs. Julia A. Wiley says
that IS cents a dozen is the lowest
quotation which she could receive in
this city. while in Chicago she was
able to buy carnations for 40 cents a
dozen.
A local florist said this morning
concerning the matter: I'VE could
have met that price of 40 cents a
dozen even if we would have had to
lose money in the matter. The reputa-
ton of having furnished the flowers
would have meant something to any
one of US 1t is possible that adding
the express charges to 40 cents per
dozen, we might have been able to
furnish the flowers without losing
anything. 1t seems very peculiar that
such an institution as the Kansas Day
club, purely an organization of this
state, should go outside to buy things
for its banquet. The quotation of the
Chicago florists should have been fur
nished US, and then we should have
been given opportunity to try and
meet it, We were asked to give a
price and we did and one much lower
than the usual rate. Evidently that
was taken for granted as our best
quotation, and the matter dropped by
the committee at that, and the flow
ers ordered from Chicago. l think
that we ought to have been given a
final chance"
Mrs. Julia A. Wiley, the caterer
having the banquet in charge, bought
the flowers under the direction of the
committee from Chicago 81 went to

$4,000 WEDDING GIFT
Cuban Senate Makes Appropriation
for Miss RooseveIt's Marriage.

Havana, Jan. 27.-The senate has un-
animously passed an appropriation of
$4,000 for the purchase of a wedding
gift for Miss Alice Roosevelt. The bill,
which was introduced Jointly by SEN
ator Mendez Capote, the vice president
elect; Senator Alfredo Zayas, president
of the Liberal party, and General Man
uel Sanguily, the leader of the Inde-
pendent party, directed President Palma
to select a wedding gift for Miss Roose-
welt and appropriates $25000 therefor.
Each of the senators introducing the
bill spoke in d similar strain to Senor
Zayas. who said that Cuba owed some
evidence of appreciation to her unfail
ing friend, Theodore Roosevelt, and that
the wedding of his daughter afforded
opportunity to demonstrate Cubass love
for and appreciation of her illustriOus
father. Each speaker pointed out that
all parties had agreed as to the proprie-
ty and appropriateness Of the making of
such a gift.
General Cisneros, who has been called
the most anti-American man in con-
gress, voiced his approval of the BILL
and moved that it be passed by accla-
nation. 1t was so passed.
Assurances are given that the house
will take similar action.

HAOLEY CANT COME.
Missouri Attorney General Won't Be at
Kansas Day Club.

Herbert S. Hadley, attorney general
of Missouri, IS too busy stalking Stand
ard Oil magnates to come to Topeka
next Monday evening and speak at
the banquet of the Kansas Day club.
His acceptance of the invitation of the
club to make the principal address
of the evening was conditional upon
his being able to postpone the inqui-
sition before the New York courts
But he has already left for Cleveland,
Ohio, for New York, so the Kansas
Day people have given up hope of hav-
ing their star attraction present.
The attendance at the banquet prom
ises to surpass all previous records.
Last year there were less than 500
present. This year there have al
ready been $50 tickets sold and the
officers of the club have instructed
the caterer to make provision for en-
tertaining 700 guests
The electricians are at work string
ing lights in the basement of the ro-
tunda, where the tables win be spread
It has been found that it will be neces-
sary to extend the tables into the wide
corridor of the south wing. About
200 places win be laid in the south
corridor.

LOCK CANAL.
That Form Is Believed to Have
Been Agreed Upon.

Washington, Jan. 27.-The isthmian
canal commission met today and con-
cluded its consideration of the report of
the board of consulting engineers with
respect to the type of the canal that
should be constructed. The commission
has had before it the reports of the
majority and minority Of the consult
ing board. At today's meeting the com
mission adopted report to the secre-
tary of war which they will forward to
him. While no official announcement is
made with reference to the commissions s
report there is good reason to believe
that they have summarized the two re-
ports and have recommended the con-
struction of a lock canal with an eigh-
ty-three-foot lever, practically following
the recommendation of the minority of
the consulting engineers.

BROKE The TRUST
Helianthus Club Deals Hackmen
a Blow.
When Prices We're Raised They
Quit Hacks.
USED STREET CARS.
One of the Big Hack Owners
Surrenders.
Expected That Others VIII
Follow Suit.

The trust of the hackmen which was
recently formed on the plan of raising
the rates and securing alluringly large
returns has come to grief.
Using street cars instead of hacks,
the young society men of the city have
not only given a well deserved rebuke
to the hackmen's trust, but they have
also succeeded in breaking their ranks.
J. V. Stamey, one of the leading
haekmen of the city, has come in from
out of the trust, and will make the
same old rates which held formerly.
H. c. Lindsey still holds out and refuses
to make the reduction. It am not go
ing to make any reduction said Lind
sey.
The hackmen of the city got to-
gether several months ago and raised
the price of hacks for party use. Be
fore that the rate was SO for party
hire whether one or two couples rented
a hack. Then came the raise and the
hackmen put up the rental where two
couples were hauled to 81.
"A great deal of protest was occasion
ed by this on the grounds that the
schedule of prices already was high
here in Topeka and higher than any
other Kansas towns. The young men
of the Helianthus club entered into an
agreement and as a result last evening
the members made arrangements with
the city street railway system for two
cars to be run following the dance Of
the club. The street railway company
furnished two cars, one for West Sixth
avenue and another for West Twelfth
street. Private rigs were also pressed
into service. The hackmen looked on
at this plan with dismay and a number
were intimidated into lowering their
rate.
Mr.. Patten of the street railway
company said: s@This is simply a busi-
ness matter and no personal feelings
enter into it at all. We haven't any
fight on the hackmen. We considered
it good business to furnish the cars and
furnished them
well, I guess we have broken the
back of the trust all right all right,
said one of the Helianthus crowd with
great glee this morning.

SANTA FE LOSES.
Must Take Its Chances With other
DevIin Creditors.

AS referee in the Devlin bankruptcy
case. H. n. LOOMS. this morning decid-
ed that the Santa Fe railroad had to
take its chances alongside Of the rest Of
the creditors TO get back $4,000 which it
paid to Mount Carmel company en-
ployes.
Along in May and June when Mr..
Devlin suffered some financial stringen-
cy, he asked the Santa F'e to furnish
him money with which to pay employs
of his mines. 1t was said that there was
some danger of strike in case the men
We're not paid. In all the Santa Fe gave
Mr. DeVlin about S57 600 for this pur-
Eose.
The Santa Fe had an original contract
with Mr.. Devlin by which it leased Ger
tain coal lands as q consideration. Later
a verbal contract was made by which
Mr.. Devlin was to pay back this money
with coal. The Santa Fe cOntended that
the verbal contract was an amendment
10 the original contract and in case Of
not being fulfilled knocked out the
whole agreement
Referee IsOomis, however, held that the
contracts were distinct and separate and
that the Santa Fe is not entitled t.
have the original contract cancelled.
That brings the whole matter back tc
is simply indebted to the Santa Fe
for certain amount, and therefore, like
the rest Of the creditors. must take its
chance. The points in equity were Civ

IT'S HEREAT LAST
First National Dividend No
Longer a Myth.
Becomes Reality When Checks
Arrive Today.
READY FOR MONDAY.
Distribution Will Commence at
8 O'clock.
Over Eight Hundred Thousand
Dollars in Checks.
SOME ARE LEFT OUT.
Three Hundred DepOsitors Who
Failed to Prove Claims.
Check No. l Will Go to Eliza w.
Bowman.

The money for the first dividend, IS
pc. cent of the defunct First National
bank, was received today by express at
1910 o'clock.
The amount represented in signed
checks is s8O1, So and is to be divided
among /, 300 depositors of the bank.
The receiver viii commence issuing
the checks at o'clock Monday morning
from the office of the receiver in the
Real Estate building at the corner Of
Seventh and Jackson streets.
The first to come will be the first
served, no other form of paying out viii
be observed. Receiver J. r. Bradley is
out of the city and will not return un-
til Monday and his office force, Walter
Niedner and John Morrisey, assumed the
responsibility of taking charge of the
nearly one million dollars worth of
checks which came in a leather covered
cas!-et.
The checks were filed out here in To-
peka about two weeks since and were
then shipped east to Washington to be
signed by J. P. Kane, deputy comp
troller of the currency. They had to be
figured over again there by the clerical
force in Washington for VerifcatiOn
But happy to state there was no error
found. Upon the special request of Re
NcANS1 ldIlGy Oldl tile WOih De has
tened in Washington as speedily as pos
sible, the work was rushed through in
stead of waiting the usual routine.
The 80 per cent dividend was nrst an
nounced on Christmas morning but il
was delayed from time to time by the
difficulty attending the collection of all
OF the insurance money.
The SS01, 600 of money does not rep1 e
sent the total So per cent dividend but
simply represents the amount of the
claims of the depOSitOrs which have been
proved up. There are about 300 deposi
tors who still have failed TO prove up
their claims.
The checks viii be issued only to
those of the depOsitoTs who hold re-
ceiver's certificates. Those who do
not possess such certificates will have
to present their pass books at the Of
flee Monday and certificates will be is
sued on their presentation. The checks
are not on any national bank but upon
the United States treasurer. They can
be presented for payment at any bank
in the city and will be hOnored just
the same as any other form of check.
That the food of money which Will
be turned loose will be hailed with
great glee by depOsitor and the busi-
ness men of the town alike is only
putting it mildly The merchants have
been waiting for this sort of thing
for several months and the depositors
VIII feel again the well filed pocket
book.
Check number one belongs to Eliza
W. Bowman while check 1900 is the
property OF Martha Hackney. The
payment, however. will be made to the
one who first gets there.
The First National bank went into
the hands of a receiver on Monday
morning, July 3rd.
