! EFFRIES will arrive in San Fran
cisco tomorrow afternoon on his
way to Los Angeles, according to
telegram which Jack Ripper re-
ceived yesterday morning. The big
fellow wired his partner that he would
leave Omaha last night. Kip and his
| wife took the Owl last evening for the
northern city, to be on hand to welcome
| the king of pugilistic kings back to the
Golden state. 1t is known that jeff
| will lose little time in getting back to
Los Angeles, but he undoubtedly will
remain in Frisco for a few days to
! greet old friends. Just what day he
will arrive in Los Angeles will not be
known until Ripper has had a talk
with him. The length of his stay in
Los Angeles viii depend entirely upon
the kindliness of his friends in re-
framing from asking too many foolish
questions about his condition, his hopes
and what he thinks of Jack Johnson
He will go to Mazatlan for a long hunt
with his brother Jack, and will be ac-
companied by party of friends from
here and Frisco, but viii try to stick
at home for fortnight or a month
before leaving on this trip. He proba-

NO POLITICS GOES.
Police Must Not Work for Any Candi-
dates for Office.

No electioneering by members of the
police force. This is the latest order to
be given the members of the police de-
partment and it was. made by Mayor
Green himself. The mayor made it
plain that he would not allow it. The
order was announced at the night roll
cali last night.
For a short time last night Topeka
was without a policeman on the beats
throughout the city. Every man, both
night and day, was at the police station
to listen to speech by the mayor. The
day men reported in instead of off as
usual and the night men assembled
with them for the usual roll call.
This is the first time since the pres
ent police force was organized that it
has been assembled together. Usually
only portion of the force is assembled
at one time. The night and day shifts
seldom see each other.
In announcing the order Mayor Green
made a speech in which he told the po-
vote their time to watching after the
city and preserving order, rather than
in electioneering for their favorite can
didates. He praised the force, saying
it was the best force ever organized in
Topeka, and said that he was pleased
with its work in the past. The per-
sonnet of the force suited him, he said.
The mayor said the men had right
to vote for the candidates who suited
them best and promised that as long
as he was mayor no member of the
police force would be discharged for
voting for the candidate who suited
him best. The mayor also announced
that there was to be no campaign fund
raised by the city employees as he had
decided to finance his own campaign.
In thanking the members of the force
for the work they have done the mayor
advised them to study the ordinance
and thus be prepared to know exactly
what to do and when to do it, and
urged the men to attend strictly to
their work as officers and let politics
alone.

MEASLES IS DANGEROUS
Crumbine Declares Mortality Rate
Higher Than Smallpox.

DIR. S. j. Crumbine of the state
/ board of health said that morning: II
do not believe that the people gem
orally realize that the little old dis
ease of measles has reached a point
where it has mortality rate greater
than that of smallpox. The disease
of measles should be Guaranteed and
cared for with the same seriousness
that is given to smallpox, diphtheria
and other dangerous and contagious
diseases 1 believe that measles pre-
pares the soil for tuberculosis and
other lung troubles"
The doctor has statistics in his office
that show that the death rate in Kan
SaS from measles has reached start
ling proportions. During the last four
years there have been 9,176 cases of
smallpox in the state with nineteen
fatalities. In this same period there
have been Is, Ill cases of measles with
152 deaths. In other words the death
rate from measles is six times greater
than from smallpox.
Reports for February from Sumner
county show that two deaths resulted
from measles and from Harper coun-
ty there were three deaths. In these
counties the death rate from measles
was as great and greater than from
tuberculosis. There are a large num-
Der of cases of measles in Topeka at
this time, much larger than usual.
Years ago, it will be remembered,
that smallpox was regarded as a ter
rible disease, often fatal. Now small
pOx is not taken seriously beyond the
Inconvenience of a quarantine, except
in a small number of cases where the
disease has been incurred in it's most
virulent form
Speaking of the serious character
of this malady commonly called the
measles, zDr.2Crumbine stated this
disease was at one time regarded in
the islands of the south seas as the
most fatal of all diseases. The natives
succumbed to its ravages like the
Europeans did during the time of the
black plague. And to this day it is
scourge among these islands. The
white races seem to have become i'm
mune to its more serious effects. But
during the last year the medical fra
ternity have come to regard this dis
ease with more respect because of its
prevalency and the increasing number
of deaths that result therefrom.

SAVED BY A BARKEEP.
A Number of Persons Rescued From
a Burning Building.

Kansas City, Mo-, March IS
Charles O'Donne1l, formerly an actor,
of Sedalia, Mo, is dead and Bert Sal
ers, a car repairer, is missing as the
result of fire that destroyed a rail-
road workers boarding house early
today. A score of other men in the
house escaped death through the
heroism of James Hicks, a bartender,
in a nearby saloon.
The building was a two story struc-
ture and was provided with two mar
row stairWays. The boarders were all
sleeping upstairs when the fire started.
Hicks was the first to discover the
fire and he rushed into the burning
building and saved nearly all the oc-
cupants. O'DonnelPs body was found
in the ruins.
It is supposed the fire was caused
by the explosion of kerosene lamp.

ers has always been the same, at least
the controlling proportion
81 think it has not" replied Mr.. KEEL
logg. 1.-THE number of stockholders
has increased from three to many
thousands
Justice Lurton said wanted to
ask Mr.. Milburn just what his claim
was.
1T was a BODY of common owners
from the beginning. Individuals
changed. A man might sell his inter-
est to another man and the court so
finds it, Mr.. Milburn replied.
Justice White wanted to know if it
were true the increase of the Standard
Oil since 1879 was due to accretion
and not to the purchase of new com
panieS.
Mr.. Kellogg replied that since that
year the Standard had acquired 25 re-
fneries and IS marketing companies.
I'VE demanded of the Standard
full list of its acquisitions sand Mr..
Kellogg, but they never produced it.
He recalled Mr.. Milburn's statement
yesterday that the Standard of Ohio
had not dismantled refineries pur-
chased.
Mr.. Milburn has not been connected
with this case since its beginning as
I have" said Mr.. Kellogg. HE is not
Informed on This point. In 1888, Mr..
Rogers testified they had dismantled
so reffneries. I may say without ex-
aggeration that Pennsylvania was
strewn with dismantled refineries.''

FIVE YEARS ENOUGH.
For Standard to Own the Country I'm
less Checked. Says Kellogg.

Washington. March They
have waved the black flag over the
land as others have done over the
ocean. Do 1 deny they have demon
strated their ability? No. They have
competed with an ability unequalled
in this country
In these words Frank B. Kellogg,
for the government, arraigned the
Standard Oil company before the SUI
preme court of the United States in
the second days argument of the case
for the dissolution of the New Jersey
corporation as decreed by the United
states circuit court for the eastern
district of Missouri.

and its money power, give it carte
blanche, let it combine, as Mr.. Wat
son suggests and let it cut prices as
Mr.. Milburn speaks about and ] pre-
dict it will control every industry in
this country in ten years, yea, in five
years"
What makes a great country" he
asked. Not great corporations. 1t is
the individual; the independent pro-
prietor with the star of hope that
has always been held out to man be-
fore him. Your honors, it is but a
step from combination to socialism
and but another from socialism to
anarchy
IF your honors. please" said Mr..
kellogg, this is the second time I
peal to protect American foreign COM
merce. 1t has always been the slogan
in this case. As a matter of fact, the
the Standard has not increased Ameri-
can percentage of exports of this prod
Ilct- The percentage exported previous
to 1871 was greater than it has been
since. For many years the Standard
Oil did not create a market or in
crease it. Those markets were made
by Independents by struggling in COM
petition for the commerce of the
world"
Mr.. kellogg launched forth into the
history of the Standard Oil as dis
cussed by Mr.. Milburn and concluded
by telling of the purchasing and clos
ing up of the refineries.
THAT was the genius of Mr.. Rock
efeller." shouted Mr.. Kellogg, turning
to Mr.. Milburn. whose words he
quoted.
Justice Lurton asked Mr.. Kellogg if
he would not reply to the claim that
all the Standard Oil properties had
always common owners.

ton. that the body of the stockhold-

Japan doesn't want war, either with
Russia or any other nation, and moth
ing but self-defense will make our
country take up arms said Mr.. K.
Kohno, of Dalny, goods manager for
the South Manchuria railway, at that
port.
Japan is not in a militant humor,
for it needs all its energies and people
for the upbuilding of the country. 1t
will uphold the open door in Manchuria,
and no nation will be put to a disad-
vantage in seeking the commerce of
that country. In London 1 saw thou
sands of idle men on the embankment
Of the Thames. The poor fellows could
get no work. In Japan every one is
busy, and there can be no problem of
the unemployed. One reason is that our
labor is so cheap. A workman with
us who gets as much as 3715 cents a
day, unless he be highly skilled, is
very fortunate. In the United States
your scale of wages is fully six times
as high as in Japan.
'Our constant aim is to emulate the
United States. Our boys and girls,
when in the high schools, are compell-
ed to study English. In the colleges
and universities it is an optional
course, but many pursue it, and though
the opportunities to converse in that

The Last Great Indian chief.

The death of Red Cloud at the Pine
Ridge Agency last week, marks the
passing of about the last Indian chief
great enough to deserve a place in
history. He will be remembered with
Osceolo, Tecumseh. Sitting Bull, Gero-
nimo, and others whose daring and
generalship kept Indian warfare from
being wholly one sided. To the white
man, these chiefs were fiends, to whom
murder and torture of innocents was
pastime, but, in considering them,
it is we'll to remember that Indian
standards were not civilized standards.
They fought the whites savagely as
they had fought among themselves,
and it may be said to their credit as
fighters that many of their tactics have
found their way into our world.
No army now fights in solid phalanx,
and they learned the open order from
the Indians. 1t is said the japanese
whipped the Russians because they
were better schooled in taking advan-
tage of such cover as offered. And
seeking cover is now one of the fore
The Indian taught the lesson of folly
of needless exposure, and they taught
it with expensive lessons such as
Braddock's defeat, Clusters massacre,
etc. Indeed, it was an ambush which
resulted in the Fetterman massacre
near Fort Phil Kearney, which
brought fame to Red Cloud. There,
with superior numbers, he over
whelmed Captain Fetterman and his
command in December, 1866, and he

Brule, Ogallala, and other sub-divis-
ions of the tribe, acknowledged him
as a leader, and, under his leadership,

posed, and Spotted Tail made chief
