She IS A KANSAN.
Efforts Being Made to Locate Rela-
tives of Annie Kelley.

Washington. May Efforts are
being made by the Washington police
to get in communication with the rela-
tives of Mrs. Annie Kelley. supposed
to be a Kansas woman, who shot her
self at Seventh and Pennsylvania ave-
nue. a few days ago, and died later at
the Emergency hospital.
From letters found in the woman's
trunk in a hotel here where she was
employed as a domestic, it is believed
that her father and sister live in Ar
kansas City, Kan. Mrs. Emma Haines
of that city is supposed to be the dead
woman's sister.
Physicians at the hospital discov-
cred that Mrs. Kelley had been a
patient at the Institution nearly two
years ago, having made a previous at
tempt to kill herself by shooting on
June rs, 1906. For several weeks she
fingered between life and deaths with
three bullet wounds in her breast, and
it was six months before she was able
to leave the hospital.
Mrs. Kelley had been in Washington
for about six years and had worked in
several hotels. She was 20 years old.

PACKED THE HOUSE.
Knights of Columbus Minstrels Prove
Popular.

The Grand opera house was
crowded last night to hear the
Knights of Columbus minstrel show
given under the direction of Chas. j.
O'Loughlin for the benefit of st.
Francis hospital. The large audience
Torrance very much. There was a
very large chorus, in fact, the
largest ever seen on a Topeka stage,
and the presence of a score of choir
boys was an added novelty. The
music was furnished by Prof. Calkins'
orchestra of fourteen pieces and was
very fine.
The end men got off some really
funny jokes in good shape and James
Marshall, the interlocutor, played his
part like a veteran minstrel man.
The ballad singing was very good,
especially the song, Ida. Sweet as
Apple Cider" sung by Chas. Bollette.
The tenors. Frank Robbins and VIM.
A. Graham, also did very well. Had
| a quartette been arranged for the
chorus on these ballads instead of
the entire company accompanied by
the orchestra singing them the effect
| would have been much better. There
| was plenty of good material on the
| stage that was allowed to go to waste
| This class of music is always very
popular with the average audience
AS the opera house was donated
| to the Knights of Columbus for this
performance by L. NJ Crawford and
| every seat in the house was taken
doubtless a handsome sum was
| realized for the new hospital.
The following performers took part
in the show:

INVESTIGATING COMPLAINTS.
A Letter Sent to Shippers by Railway
Board.

The state railway board, after in
vestigating the complaint of Kansas
shippers that stock shipments are de-
layed in the yards at Kansas City be-
fore reaching the stock pens, has come
to the conclusion that the service can
be bettered and is sending the follow
ing letter to the railroad companies of
the state:
Dear Sir: On Tuesday April 90,
1909, the board met at Kansas City,
Kan. and entered upon a hearing of
the complaint of the Hutchinson Com
mission company ct al, in re, prompt
delivery of live stock shipments to the
Kansas City stock yards.
1.-The board having thus advised
itself in the premises, finds that the
delays complained of are occasioned
| in the main by two conditions: First,
| the fact that the Stock Yards company
does not now maintain in a portion
| of its yards adequate facilities for the
prompt unloading of shipments de-
| livered; and, second. the practice of
various of the railroad companies in
| delaying the delivery of such live stock
to the stock yard companies until a
maximum train of stock is gathered
off the various lines for movement to
| the stock yards.
The Stock Yards company has
agreed with the board to forthwith re.
model such OF its unloading chute and
track facilities as are not now ade
lQuate, in such manner as to AFFORD
materially better service. and the board
recommends that your management is
sue to its yard masters at Kansas City
instructions necessary to secure to ship
pers the best possible service through
4 your yard.
kindly advise the board whethel
your company will issue such instruc
| lions without the necessity of furthel
action in the premises"

WHAT NExTg

The druggists and doctors in New
York have been considering the own
ership of prescription that had once
been filed, and the conclusion reach
ed is that the original owner of the
prescription parted with all his right,
title and interest when it was once
used. He was neither entitled to 1t
or to copy of it, and no druggist
should fill it again. The Chicago
druggists and doctors have reached
these conclusions:
81. The prescription is an utter
ance, the prescriber, who alone should
direct and control it's employment. 1t
should, whenever practicable, carry
the name of the patient, the age in
years, if a minor, and the date when
written.
'2. The pharmacist who prepares
the medicine should retain the pre-
scription as reference for his services
and as record for a certain limited
period not less than five years, for
the protection of the prescriber, him
self and the patient.
SO. The medicine prescribed should
be supplied not more than once on the
same prescription; Cd If ordered by
the prescriber not to be repeated
IN. rep.); CD If containing medical
substances commonly called narcotic
or habit forming drugs; 60 If called
for by some person known not to be
tho ORIGINAL holder
81. Copy of the prescription may be
furnished and should be written ON {
special blank, containing a declara
ton that it is a copy of prescription
which has been delivered to the origi
nal holder and is not to be reffllet
except on order of the prescriber. Th'
copy is made without recourse to pos
sible error
In Philadelphia blank is uset
which limits the use of prescription
to one filling, ''for present indication
only" and it can be renewed on1.
by the physician who issued it, ant
the renewal must be in writing. /
will thus be seen that prescription
is practically limited to one filling
and it carries no legal rights beyont
present use.

Mr.. H. M. Humphrey, Manager Ma.
tional Life Insurance Company
Goldsboro, N. C.
Dear Sir: It is with pleasure that
enclose herewith my check for $26.28
and dividend voucher for $500 in pay
ment of premium of $34.30 due April
goth, on account on my contract No.
194,059 for $4,000 and l wish to ex-
press here my appreciation Of this
large dividend, which is in excess of
23 per cent. of the premium. This
policy is issued upon the 10-Year Re-
newable Term plan, the gross premi-
um being only $34.3O, which I regard
ed at the time of buying the insurance
very cheap. The policy is renewable
at the end of each 10-year period, or
exchangeable at any time without re-
medical examination. l think this is
the cheapest form of insurance in ex-
istence and regard the National Life
Insurance Company as one of the best
companies in the world.
It's 59th annual statement is very
satisfactory. 1 also approve of it's sys-
tenn of making it's investments in the
states in which it does business and
recommend it to the insuring public.
Yours very truly,
D. H. DIXON.

THE MODUs OPERANDI.

The preparation of a new tariff is
ests in a country that is almost con-
tinental in size. The trading that
Senator AIdrich is conducting may
comport with his idea of good govern
ment, but it is very far from being
based on the greatest good to- the
greatest number. Practical and selfish
and local considerations are in the
saddle and public considerations
scarcely gain hearing. The ethics
of the Rhode Island senator largely
sprung from his education, and the
outcome will be but a lot of conpro-
misses based on shrewd trades.
The duty on iron ore is case in
point. At present there is a duty of
40 cents ton on iron ore. In the
Payne bill iron ore was placed on the
free list at the desire of the Atlantic
coast states. In the Aldrich bill it
is proposed to place a duty of 25
cents on iron ore.
How this was brought about is well
illustrated in Pennsylvania. Western
Pennsylvania owning Lake Superior
ores and drawing its supply from
there chiefly by water prefers q duty
on iron ore. Eastern Pennsylvania
can not trund1e Lake Superior ore
over a mountain wall and it is forced
to fill its stacks with Cuban ores. It
therefore, wants no duty on iron ore
Trader Aldrich adjusts the matter il
his customary manner by naming {
duty of 25 cents in his bill, and thi
compromise will probably become law
The rate named would probably b.
acceptable in this district.
1t is a fair illustration of the man
ner in which tariff bill is fitted t
: private pockets rather than to tn
public purse. A modern tariff bill
made. by Republicans is scheme t
enrich the few at the expense of tn
+ many, but sometimes the few hav
conflicting interests, as is the case i
Pennsylvania in relation to iron ore
and then compromise must be patch
ed up This has been done in the irol
ore matter, and no doubt it will b
accepted as the best settlement tha
opposing interests would permit
Trader Aldrich will go on trading il
the hope that he can send his bill t
4 conference and can defeat an incom
tax. He and the class he represent
abhor an income tax
