De SAGAN GOT A FRANC
His Cousin Boni Was Fined Twenty
Dollars Besides.

Paris, Feb. 11.-Count Boni de
Castellane, the divorced husband of
Anna Gould, of New York. was today
found guilty by the correctional court
of criminal assault and battery on
Prince Helie de Sagan, his cousin
and fined $40. The prince was award
ed 20 cents damages
The encouter between Count Boni
de Castellane and Prince Helie De
Sagan, which resulted in the prince
preferring charges against his cousin.
took place January 2, in front of the
church of st. Pierre de Chaillot,
where a special memorial service had
been celebrated in memory of Lady
Stanley Errington, relative of both
Of the fighters. The service had just
ended and Count Boni and Prince
Helie met on the steps. Words were
exchanged and then the two men
came to blows, and Count Bonf swore
at his cousin and spat in his face.
The prince took the matter to court
and made charges against the count
and his brother Count Jean. The
charge against Count Jean was dis
missed.
The cause of the fight is said to
have been because Prince De Sagan
was paying attention to Nine. Gould,
and this is supposed to have provoked
Count Boni to the assault.

Further Evidence of Graft In Penn
sylvania Capitol Furnishings.

Harrisburg. Pa, Feb. 1.-THE COM
monwealth offered in evidence at the
trial today of the state capitol con-
spiracy suit bills of lading from rail-
road companies to sustain it's charge
that ]. H. Sanderson, contractor, was
paid hundreds of thousands of dollars
for furnishings for the capitol prior to
the delivery of these furnishings. The
states lawyers contend that large
sums of money were paid to Sanderson
without regard to the quality or guam
tity of the furnishings and the bills
were afterwards fitted to the advance.
The commonwealth probably will
close today. The defense still declines
to say who will be the chief witness,
although it is supposed the defendants
themselves will take the stand. Former
Governor Pennypacker may also be an
important witness.

STILL AFTER KELSEY.
Governor Hughes Again Recommends
Removal of Insurance superintendent

New York, Feb. 11-Governor or
Hughes today renewed to the senate
his recommendation of last year that
Otto Kelsey be removed from the Of
fee of state superintendent of insur-
ance on the ground of fncompetency.
Last year the senate refused by a vote
of 27 to "a to remove Superintendent
Kelsey.
While admitting the magnitude of
the work of the insurance department
and that its task has recently increased
the governor says, that side by side
with these departmental activities there
grew up wasteful and corrupt methods.
which scandalized the country and
brought the supervision of the depart
ment with regard to important interests
of the holders Of life insurance pollc1eS
into contempt"
From the insurance investigation of
1905. says the governor. ''it appeared
that If it's energy had been we'll direct
ed and the department had been eff
cient in the true sense, most OF the
scandals which were revealed could not
have existed"
The concluding paragraph Of the gov
ernor's message is as follows:
'"The matter now presented to you in
wolves the credit of the state The con-
duct of the department should exhibit
that care for thOroughness and Wig
ilance which will guarantee adequate
protection to the interests of the policy
holders, and at the same time Justly
insure the standing and promote tho
success of the companies bearing the
seal of the departments approval. rms,
1 am convinced, can be obtained only
one way and that is by having the de-
partment placed in other hands. The
interests of the state require change
should be made. I therefore recon-
mend that OFT Kelsey, superintendent
of insurance, be removed from his Of
fice''

FOR PDfPLEs, TOO
New Discovery Cures Eczema and
Eradicates Minor Skin Troubles
Over Night.

About a month ago the dispensers
of pos1am, the new discovery for the
cure of eczema decided to allow the
druggists of the country to handle it.
Previous to that time it could only be
obtained direct from the Laboratories.
Since this change in the method of
distribution, poslam has met with the
most phenomenal success of any
thing introduced to the drug trade in
the last 80 years. All leading drug
gists, including Shows in Topeka are
now carrying the special 50-cent size
recently adopted, also the 81 Jar.
This great success is not surprising
when it is remembered that. in ecze-
ma cases, poslam stops the itching
with first application, proceeds to
heal Immediately, and cures chronic
cases in a few weeks. In minor skin
troubles such as pimples, blackheads,
acne, herpes, blotches, rash, etc.. re-
suits show after an overnight appli-
cation. Experimental samples of
poslam are sent to anyone by mail
free of charge. by the EN- mergeney
Laboratories. 80 West Twenty-f1fth

coming to him. Although her search
has been diligent, Mrs. Boltz has not

WHEEL MEN HAVE
MONSTER COMPLAINT
If Streets Are Not Torn Up,
Glass Is Encountered.

Bfcyclists of the city have cause to
saament. They believe there must be
some kind of conspiracy between the
street commissioner nnd the street
railway repair gang, whereby it is
agreed to keep Main street between
the bridge and Fourth street torn up.
II the commissioner is not putting
fresh stone on this section of the street
or spiking 1t up by the road roller. the
street car men are making new wir-
ings on the railing, and picking up
the street at each joint. Wheelmen
endeavor to keep a path along the side
OF the street car rails, as the rest of
the roads surface is too rough to make
riding comfortable
The bicycle men also are complain
ing because of the large amount OF
glass to be found on the streets of the
city.
