SHARES PUBLIC SCHOOLS'S HONORS. And Overwork. Caused Nervous that the property was mortgaged. Jenkins came to the city about two weeks ago soon after his arrival he was put in jail for alleged contempt of court It was charged that he had sold some of the mortgaged property. Last Saturday Jenkins was cited to appear before Judge Fischer and the showing made by the man justified the judge in believing that the prisoner was innocent.

He said he had not sold the property as charged and furnished good evidence in his own behalf. Jenkins had never been in jail before and he returned to ColdwaAr Sunday night He told Oscar Haner jailer, that he wold not soon return to Kansas City He thinks ouce is enough. HOME NEWS.

Visited the President as Emissary From Illinois Delegation That Is Booming Cannon. Washington Representative-elect Lorimer, of Chicago, came here to see if it is true that President Roosevelt proposes to take a hand in the speakership contest, favoring Mr. Littlefield.

"Mr. Lorimer spent two hours with Mr. Roosevelt" He is to report to the Illinois delegation which meets at the Union League Club in Chicago tomorrow night to officially launch Joe Cannon's candidacy' for speaker. The Illinois folks propose to shove "Uncle to the front They have been alarmed as well as annoyed by the repors about the president favoring Mr. Littlefield.

Mr. Lorimer was detailed to find out if Mr. Roosevelt had any serious objection to Mr. Cannon and possibly Mr. Lorimer was to find out if the members of the house were to be allowed to select their own speaker.

But Mr. Lorimer ha3 nothing to say about the interview. On leaving the president he did not look pleased or mad. He was pacific and quiet and his yellow hair betrayed nothing. If Mr.

Roosevelt asked him for the Illinois delegation in the 1904 convention as the stepping stone to an agreement on the speakership matter. Mr. Lorimer gave mo evidence of the "diplomatic touch" but simply looked the part of nothing doing. There is a strong feeling here that Cannon will continue in the race no matter what the outcome Oi. the interview.

The bringing out of Babcock, with his chances of dividing the West and Northwest is looked upon as a Littlefield move. Many members have been aided by Mr. Babcock in the campaign, he being the chairman of the national congressional committee, and naturally they feel kindly toward him KANSAS POLITICIANS CONFER. It Is Said Senator Conrad Will Be Indorsed for Postmaster at Independence. A conference of prominent Republican politicians from Southeastern Kansas was held at the Coates house Sunday afternoon to settle finally the conflicting claims of the two applicants for the postmastership at Independence, Kas, and decide which of the two should be recommended bv Senator Burton and Congressmau-elett Phil Campbell, of the Third district for the appointment ment.

The contestants are Ed Foster, the present incumbent, whos term is soon to expire and who was strongly backed for reappointment, and II. W. Conrad, state senator from that district. Both of them were present. The other members of the conference were Sentor Burton, Congressman-elect Campbell, P.

T. Foley, of Parsons; George Gurnsey, A. C. Stich and O. P.

Ergen bright, of Independence. Foley was on the conference by virtue of his position as Burton's lieutenant ami the fact that he was a supporter of Campbell for the nomination. Ergenb right was a candidate for the congressional momination and it is understood his strength in the district renders it advisable that he be consulted as to the important and closely contested appointments. A. C.

Stich is president of the Citizens national bank, of Independence. The conference lasted until about 5 o'clock after its conclusion Senator Burton and Foley left th city together. Phil Campbell took a train for Pittsburg and the others also took the fiirst train with the exception of Mr. Stich. None of the parties to the conferenc3 would discuss the action ta-ten.

Mr. Stich stated that the contest wsa decided in favor of Senator Conrad, who is to be indorsed by the Burton-Campbell machine if he decides to stand by his application' for the office. Mr. Stich also said that Curtis was the strongest senatorial candidate in the Third district. KANSAS BRIEFS.

Parsons contractors announce that men are very scarce there at present. Baldwin Is the home of the only Chinese baby ever born in Kansas. It came last week. Cupid is slighting Butler county. There hasn't been a marriage license issued out there for over two weeks.

Attica is fast assuming metropolitan airs. A young man named Coe was run over by an automobile there the other day. There was a heavy frost in some parst of Kansas last week that cut down everything exposed, and Ice formed on water out of doors. Alice Winkler, 22 years old, who lived ten miles east of Paola, drowned herself in a shallow stream on the farm because of despondency caused by ill health. George McBrier, an old soldier, was run over and killed by a Santa Fe passenger train near Topeka this week.

He was walking on the tracks and ajda't hear the whistle. The body of N. C. Davis, known as "Nat" Davis, was found in the road near Washington last week. He bad fallen from his cart and his neck was broken.

John W. Leedy is the Prohibition candidate for governor of Iowa. While he is no relation to the former governor of Kansas, there is not much show for his election. H. W.

Cochran, of Linn county, is 91 years old. Mr. Cochran has never ridden on a railroad train or on a street car. He boasts that In all his life he never attended a wedding save his own. Lawrence fell off nearly one-half in her registration.

She is an exception among the towns of the state. Most o. them held their registration up to the usual figure and some of them made large gains. The case brought by J. B.

Billard to compel the school board to desist from the use of the Bible in the public schools has been heard in the district court at Topeka, The decision will not be given for a week. The Kaw valley farmer who planted potatoes this year is a happy man. A year ago the potato crop of the valley was almost a total failure. This year the yield is averaging 350 bushels to the acre and they are bringing first rate prices. While there are now hundreds of empty cribs in Kansas, reports from all parts of the state say that farmers are preparing to build more to hold the big corn crop.

This would indicate that the movefent of corn to market during the coming winter will not be heavy. Citizens of Douglass "pitched in" last week and bought a house and lot' for Aunt Dinah Fouts, a respected old negro woman of that town. The old woman, who is becoming too feeble to work, broke down and cried when she was told that she owned her little home. Mr. Nusbaum.

secretary of the Otta wa Chautauqua, has sent word from the East that he has secured Senator M. A. Hanna. John Wanamaker and Mavor Jones for next year's lecture platforf. He will endeavor to get a promise from President John Mitchell of the Mine Workers before he returns.

Governor Stanley has issued a requi sition on the goevrnor of Iowa -for the return of Harvey Meacham, wanted in Marshall county for grand larceny. Meacham stole a horse and buggy at Marysville and drove It to Iowa, where he was captured. He is now In jail at Cherokee, but will be brought back to Kansas for trial. Moses Bertram, an old resident of Junction City, was killed by being run over by a Missouri, Kansas Texa3 train. Mr.

Bertram was a retired sergeant of the United States army. He had served thirty years and seven months In the army and four years in the navy. The body was given a military burial, the funeral being held at Fort Riley. The long period of fine weather in Central Kansas has enabled the farmers to sow a large amount of wheat and drills have been kept busy. But now rain is needed to start the wheat and put it in condition for winter.

The fields sown before the fall rains began are in good condition, but those sown In the last three weeks are in need of an inch of rain. Unless the plant gets a good growth before freezing weather begins it may suffer in the winter. "I ought to feel quite stcyk up, writes a Kansas girl from a small town in one of the Philippine Islands, where she is teaching the young Philippine idea how to shoot, "The other day I received a proposal of marriage from the native governor of this province. It was too funny for. anything, yet somehow I pitied the fellow when he showed such a lot of disappointment.

He has a big rice plantation and acres of sugar lands, too, and I might have been quite my lady If I had cared to." Don Emilio de Ojeda, the new Spanish minister, is almost certain to be a great favorite in Washington. He has a distinguished appearance, speaks English fluently, has a wide knowledge of literature, and as a painter easily might have made a career. Senor de Ojeda is, besides, 3 man of ample fortune.

Dr. Miles' Nervine Cured Me. Dr. Miles Nervine will cure nervous pros tration. It will brinf sweet sleep and rest; it will relieve the mind of the tendency to worry; it will make the nerves strong and the patient well.

It has cured thousands. It will cure you. Try it to-day. "Some years aro I was stricken with nerv ous prostration caused by overwork and worry. I was in such a weakened, exhausted, run down ndition that I was unable to do my housework.

I felt too weak and tired to even make calls on my neighbors. Frequently when out driving I would become so exhausted that it seemed that I would die before I reached home. I was also troubled with sinking spells at night which left me so weak that thought I could not live until morning. I was in this deplorable condition when one day Dr. Miles' Nervine was brought to my notice.

I had little faith in proprietary remedies but determined to give the Nervine a trial. After the second dose of the Restorative Nervine I was able to sit at the table and eat a meat something I had been unable to do for many days. I have since taken a number of bottles of Nervine. I consider myself cured. I am doing my own work and give Dr.

Miles' Nervine credit for my general good health. My object in writing this is to recommend your medicine but I cannot write as strongly as I feeL" Miss AddikB. Varble, 405 E. Marion St, Guthrie, Oklahoma. All sell and guarantee first bot tle Dr.

Episode of Home Life in Australia Dumb Brutes Know When They Welcome. The wild birds love the place or did ove it. It was mainly for their sakes that the ax was not laid at any root of any tree while we were there, and they came to it from far and near far, I should say, since one rarely heard a bird note, not even that of the once ubi quitous magpie on the surrounding hills and set up housekeeping in peace and privacy, and in larger numbers every year. How soon they know where they are welcome! and it is the same with all dumb things. I am convinced that there is scarcely a creature living which does not prove itself possessed of quite human intelligence as soon as one begins to make a friend of it They talk under onr own feet and scatter from our path in fear and trembling; their minds are cramped and starved by their hunted, downtrodden, tragical lives; they are shut up within themselves.

But show them a little kindness and understand- ng and comradship, and results are as tonishing. I have tried it often enough to know. I have had such things as toads and hedgehogs scrambling after me about garden paths, prefering to burst themselves rather that lose the chance of my company. Some white rats presented to my children were let out of their cage to enjoy themselves in an empty froof room, and had not been thus indulged for a week before their endearments became overpowering. A widowed dove was my companion for several years, and fell sick and refused food if parted from me, which was only when I went out of the house then would follow if not guarded cerefully and was killed at last in a tangle of street traffic through which it was hunting me.

In this very house at I was silly enough to make friends with a mouse that had holes in the hearth by which I used to sit at work. All I did was to put a crumlb or a spoonful of milk between me and it Soon it took to sitting in its porch we could just see its little sout twiddling to watch until the family were ah gone from the room and then to run out to me fearlessly the instant the door was closed behind them. This was in the dining room. Oppo site its glass doors, across the veranda and a path, there was an arrangement of granite blocks to shore up the ground where the hill had been cut away to make a level for the house, and in the interstices of this rough wall more mice lived. We were quite unaware of the fact until I had begun petting the hearth dweller, when they suddenly popped out from their burrows as bold as I could not resist giving them a crum or two, and their subsequent behavior convinced me that their indoor neighbor had communicated to them the fact that there was a friend at court As I sat at meals in broad daylight and sunshine French window open between us I could see them on their thresholds star ing across the gap with, all their eyes.

You will rue this," said the person in authority, and I soon did. We became all at once inundated with mice. Alas for the eternal tragedy of life! A cat was introduced. One morning I was writing at the table with, my back to the hearth when a tremendous clat ter of fire irons made me jump out of my chair. I flew after that young tigress and I got her prey from her, but too late.

My pet died in my hand and am never going to take any notice of a mouse again. But the possibilities in, the way of social intercourse with our dumb fel low creatures are, I am convinced, among the happy surprises reserved for an enlightened future, PTJT( THE- HUSBAND IN JAIL. A Coldwater, Farmer, Held Contempt of Court, Proves His Innocence. for" Isaac Jenkins, a farmer of Cold water, was released from the Wyandotte county jail Sunday; after having been the guest of Sheriff Mendenhall for the last ten days. Jenkins' case Is an odd Some time ago his wife sued for divorce Her attorneys secured an order from the district court, which directed that Jenkins should not sell cer- tain property, which the wife claimed NOT ALL "SPRING CHICKENS." Thirty-four of Ninety-four Republican Kansas Legislators Have Served Before.

The next legislature will not be entirely composed of "spring chickens," so to speak Thirty-four of the ninety-four Republicans in the house have had previous legislative experience. They are: Honnell, Leland, Sarbach, Hayden, Betts. Sims, Francis, Campbell, of Finley, Mendenhall, Hawkins, Whistler, Nation, Kirkpatrick, Adams, of sutler, Stavely, Pralle, Mc-Kee, Meade, Hill, Weldon, Dougherty, Mustoe, Godshalk, Kinkel, Watkins, Hutcheson- and Adams, of Sedgwick. All the' above were in the legislature of 1901 with the exception of Leland, Campbell, of Bourbon, Kirkpatrick and Adams, of Sedgwick. There will be nine physicians in the Republican membership of the incoming house.

They will lead the other professions in inumbers, even probably the law. The doctors of Bourbon; Mendenhall of Linn; Fisher and Lewis, of Crawford; Adair, of Chautauqua; O'Donnell of Ellsworth; Jones, of Trego; Hutchinson of Pratt, and Farris, of Sumner. eBsides these, Janes, of Grove is a druggist Four physicians, who were Republicans were defeated Andress, of Montgomery; Beaver, of Thomas; Sharp, of Pawnee; and Richards, of Kearney. There are two ministers among the majority Hunter, of Anderson, and Hamilton. Of the "duplicates" the Joneses lead.

There are three of them Jones, of Grove; Jones, of Norton, and Jones of Trego. All are from the Sixth district There are two Martins Martin of Morton: Martin, of Woodson The two Millers of Ellis and of Lincoln, were defeated. The Browns number two one comes from Brown and the other from Labette. Williams, of Shawnee, and Williams of Stanton, will doubtless get together on the name The Campbells "are that is, two of them: of Bourbon, and Campbell, of Meade. There will be two Adamses one hail ing from Butler, and one from Sedgwick.

ROOT IS BUSY PREPARING REPORT OF WAR DEPARTMENT. The Principal Recommendation Will lie the Re-establishment of the Canteen System. Washington Secretary Root has begun the preparation of his annual report, which this year will be of particular interest to the army, as it will contain special recommendations regarding a general staff, the army war college. the militia, and a scheme for annual field maneuvers. Mr.

Root is determ ined to express himself in positive terms in favor of the re-establishment of the army canteen and his report will in clude a strong recommendation on this subject He will also again recommend to congress legislation favoring a con solidation of the supply depots of the army, as he believes that considerable improvement will result from placing the quartermasters' subsistence and pay departments under erne head without at the same time destroying the individual character of each bureau. Another feature of the report which has been already mapped out by Secre tary Root will relate to the reduction of the military force in the last year from about 76,000 men to the minimum provided by law of less than 60,000 He will point out that this reduction was accomplished gradually and with out detriment to the interests of the country, the improved situation in the Philippines permitting a withdrawl of a large force to the United States and a reduction In the e.rmy to about 66,000 rrw as early as last July. This was further reduced to 59.000 October 1, and another reduction is now in progress so that within a short time the army will be at the minimum. Secretary Root will urge a more liberal appropriation by cosiCTess for the training of militia in the field with regular soldiers. The salt trust dissolved on account cf too much water.

VAN WYCKE, KANSAS and he is the one man above all others to trot out for the purpose of dividing the Cannon support HUMANE SOCIETY TRYING TO IN CREASE MEMBE1BSHIP.

Several Plan for Increasing Its Effi ciency The membership Fees to Be Reduced. A house-to-house can ass to secure an increase in the membership of the Humane socety of Kansas City is to be made. President E. R. Weeks has on foot a number of plans for extension of the organization's work.

To accom plish, the results desired additional mon ey will ibe needed. While an increase in membership will contribute to this result, this is not the only purpose of the campaign. The influence of the so ciety will be strengthened and widened as he number of persons interested in the cause increase. President Weeks proposes that the public drinking fountain of the city shall, be attractive from an artistic as well as a humanitarian standpoint. He would increase the number and coni-struct fountains which should be orni-mental as well as useful.

People generally object to the placing of fountains in front of their residences for those constructed so far have been eyesores. If the public drinking places were erected with an eye to their beauty this objection would be largely overcome. The fountains might then, indeed, be sought after because of their ornamental qualit.es. Mr. Weeks be lieves that if me.n interested in the humane work would agree to shoulder the expense incident to the improvement of the fountains the city could offer no objections to their ornamentation.

The suggestion made some time ago to reduce the fee for membership in the society probably will be adopted. Mr. Weeks will propose at the annual meeting to be held in January that the annual dues for men be decreased from $5 to $2 and for women from $2.50 to $1. The reduction undoubtedly would result in the desired increase in membership and the awakening of interest would, it is figured, result in more financial -contributions. Mr.

Weeks also favors the establishment of a permanent literary fund. The distribution cf "Black Beauty" and works of a similar nature by individual members of the society has had a salutary effect upon people with whom hey have been placed. With a fund by which more books could be secured and a systematic distribution made possible inhuman practices, which already are on the decrease, would become less frequent than ever. When the organization is placed upon a more substantial financial basis it is hoped to increase the number of paid humane agents. D.

F. Tiazzek, the president of the Kemper Grain company, has asked for an agent commission. He proposes to devote his spare time to the work of the society without remuneration. The enlistment of such men as workers is grat ifying, to the officers of the organiza tion.

Stone, will be taken to the penitentiary at Lansing, some time this week, probably Wednesday. Nugent was convicted of manslaughter in the fourth degree, and sentenced to two years in the penitentiary. Good behavior in prison will reduce his time to eighteen months. The prisoner's attorneys did not ask Judge Holt for a new trial for the good reason that they feared they would get it. Nugent and his attorneys are satisfied with the jury's verdict, especially since Judge Holt delivered such a strong rebuke to the jury when he sentenced Nugent a week ago.

Fully 200 men and women visited the Wyandotte county jail Sunday and about three-fourths of this number call-ed to see Nugent. The prisoner was the recipient of many presents from his friends and cigars and tobacco were among the lot. Nothing he received was better appreciated better than a basket of good things to eat which his mother prepared for him. ON CHARGE OF FAST DRIVING.
