Distinguished Visitors.

Among the many distinguished visitors
from the states and Europe is Herbert
Baillie of Wellington, New Zealand, who
travelled 1850 miles to attend the con-
vention. He is city librarian OF yelling
ton.
You folks have got the wrong idea
of New Zealand he said. You doubt
less think that New Zealand is largely
peopled by Maori savages. 1t is true that
We have about 10000 Maoris, but they are
not savages. We are making doctors,
lawyers and dentists of them by giving
them education. The work, is similar to
the work in America with the Indians.
We have no race problem in New
zealand The whites and blacks rarely
intermarry, and If they do we consider 1t
their own business and do not worry
about 1t, because we have more important
things on hand.
Il find that people are about the same
in all parts of the world. when they have
had similar educational advantages. The
school is the great equalizer Of human
ity"

Mrs. Lease Is Now IIecturing Before

New York, Dec. 15.-Mrs. Mary

ualism and other ''isms,'' and who has
been chara cterized as 1.-The political

is appearing in a brand new role
Mrs. Lease is now appearing under the
direction of the lecture bureau Of the
department of education as a lecturer
in the public schools of this city. She
lectured at public school No. "a, at
Tenth street and Avenue B, on Amer
lea and the Americans
Her talk was of a patriotic nature
and in her speech there was little to
identify her as the same woman who
turned the politics of Kansas upside
down, who made and unmade senator's
and representatives, who caused the
supreme court of her state to reverse
it's decision on the mortgage tax law
ooh, I've toned down in my old
age she said after the lecture. "but
I feel as strongly on reform issues as
I did years ago. This, however, is a
conservative age, and I find that it is
not the best to be too radical. Then,
too, it would not be proper to discuss
such things in a school room"

Credit for Eczema
Cure Belongs to Him

Whether or not DIR. ]. E. Currier is
entitled to all the credit for discover
ing that the drug citrox is practicaI1v
a specific for all forms of skin diseases
it is certain that he was first to pub
lish his discovery in the medical Jour
nal. Other doctors may, as they claim,
have used citrox in treating eczema
letter, salt rheum, etc, but if they did
not publish their results and DR.. Cur
rier did, they cannot complain if he
is given the credit after having
thrown his discovery open to the
world. At the request of q CORES
pendent we again publish the original
directions for using this wen-known
drug in the treatment OF skin diseases:
dissolve a teaspoonful pure DOW
dered citrox in two tablespoons hot
water and battle the diseased skin twice
a day, 90 minutes at time in this
warm lotion 1t must be made UP
fresh and used warm each time. Be
careful to get the pure drug put up in
sealed packages by the chemical
works" This new use for an old drug
has made a radical advance in the
treatment of skin diseases, as it stops
the itching at once and dries up the
eruption in a short time.

HORSE THIEVES ACTIVE.
Fourth Theft Reported in This County
Recently.
JUN
THE
Y. M. c. A.

Horse stealing is becoming one of
the most popular outdoor sports
around Topeka. The fourth case
within two months was reported last
night, when r. K. Graham returned
after a short absence, to the hitch
rack where he had left his horse and
buggy, and found both absent. He
looked the town over, and then notf-
fed the sheriff. This morning Sheriff
Wilkerson issued description cards,
bearing the following remarks: "Sor-
rel mare stolen from hitchrack in To-
peka at 10 o'clock Monday night
Weight LOO, Is hands high, no white
blind in left eye; good condition, good
traveller, shod all round, with leather
pads under front shoes; heavy short
dark tail. Hitched to black top buggy,
and springs, nearly new. Green plush
laprobe. Owner will pay SIS for re-
covery, and I will pay s25 for capture
or information leading to capture of
the thief"
The officers and the local branch of
the Anti-Horse Thief association are
of the opinion that Topeka is infested
with local talent thieves, who steal the
horses, drive them a short distance
and turn them over to confederates in
time to get back on train and estab-
lish an alfbi.

Pay "Judy's'' Hospital Fees.

In city court Monday evening, a
jury brought in verdict in favor of
the defendant in the case of L. H.
Mum against Peter Plamondon. Dr.
Mum had sued Peter Plamondon
father of the late Judy Plamopdon,
a well known circus performer, for
$500 for medical services performed
during the last illness of the son.
When the facts in the case were heard
by the jury, little time was lost in rem.
dering verdict and charging the costs
TO the plaintiff.
The testimony showed that Clarence,
better known as Judy" Plamondon
was taken to Stormont hospital two
years ago, and operated upon for ap-
pendicitis. The doctors had promised

LETTER

To Louis Eckhart, Rock Island, III.
Dear Sir: You are so well known
that the people have put you in Office
They knew what they were about;
they didn't do it by accident.
Wouldn't it be a handsome thing to
do to paint your house? 1t is a nice
house, has good, substantial, commo-
dious look, and isn't rusty at all, you
know; but fresh coat of paint would
make it so bright; it's pity not to.
Devoe is beautiful paint, but the
beauty of it is: it last so long, and
does so much more than adorn an al
ready interesting and attactive edifice.
House, out-buildings and fences. There
isn't man or woman in town, who
wouldn't see them and make some
pleasant remark.
OF course, you will paint the town
property; nothing would mark your
administration more, in the eyes of
the people; and, having done the same
thing at home, it is the most natural
thing in the world to do it for them.
Yours truly,
F. w. DEvOE & CO.,

O'Clock and could not possibly arrive

was not until after the latter hour that
word was received from Mr.. Bryan
asking that his Chicago engagement
be Cancelled. 1t came in the form of
a telegram to Charles W. Bryan from
La Porte, Ind, and was received by
the latter at the Englewood station.

was dismissed. Similar action was
taken at the meetings at Chutes park.
the Logan Square baseball park and
at Division and Leavitt streets, where
immense throngs were in waiting to
greet the democratic leader.
A remarkable fact was the eager.
ness developed by the audiences to
hear Bryan and the way they remained

, of hearing him.
At the Englewood station Mr.. Sulli.

MI. Bryan from the train to the live
stock pavilion could scarcely control
their tempers. Telegraph and tele
phche wires were kept sizzling and

connected with the delay of Mr.

of those present even went so far as
to charge a republican conspiracy to
defeat the efforts of the Chicago demo
