TOPICS OF THE DAY.
Ohhth Hulr nt .
There 1h a man in lluvunt, ling.,
tvho, having been completely buld
from tlio tiny of IiIh birth, has now
tartcd u ilne crop of hair at the ma
ture age of 1)2.
"Uhuorful iiml Hopeful."
The- British treasury in cheerful
end hopeful. Next year'H revenue,
It is estimated, will comu within
$120,000,000 of meeting expenses and
the rest can bo easily borrowed.
It (,'iiimi In llnrrxlft.
Jolin D. Hoekefcller Is fond of tell
ing that ho wiih past 30 before ho
accumultitcd his ilrst $1,000. Hut
when wealth came it came with a
rush about GOO barrels a minute.
Tim "form" U Kiiuillliir.
Senator ilanna snys: "I am not to
bo considered in any sense a candi
date for president." Ah, but then
wouldn't ho take it? The form of
tho senator's statement in very fa
miliar. Hnviuily Yuum hm Mum iiikI Wlfft.
Mr. and Mrs. Israel D. Conklln, of
Mvcrsldo, L. I., have just completed
70 years of married life. Mr. Conk
lln will be Ot years of ago next Au
gust and his wifo will be 88 years
old In September.
Wlmrn tint Coir Weur ICurrlni:.
Tho cows in Hclgium wear ear
rings. The law decrees that every
cow, when it has attained the age
of three mouths, must have in its
ear n ring, to which is attached a
numbered metal tag.
Suuulor IIiiiiiih'h Ambition.
Senator Huumi's friends say that
he intends to devote his life more and
more to the effort of Improving tho
relations between capital and labor,
no winning greater fame than a presi
dent can get. Noblo ambition.
Ill Nrtine In II h I'ortuno.
There is a man in tho ofllce of the
auditor for tho post ofllco depart
ment who, it is said, owes Ids ap
pointment largely to the fact that
his signature contains but ilvo let
ters, lie in Second Deputy Auditor
N. Chew. IFc does little but sign his
name and he does that for about
eight hours a day steadily.
JtlMt Whit Thoy Are lalt For.
It may be true, as tho president
nahl recently, that "tho average grad
uate of West Point during this hun
dred' ycarw has given a greater
amount of service to tho country
through his llfo than has tho average
graduate of any other institution
in this broad land." Hut on tho
other hand isn't that what tho gov
ernment 1ms educated him, paid him
and expected him to do?
Innovation of l'onoo.
Swords will not bo beaten into
plowshnres in South Africa nor
spears into pruning hooks, but it is
said that arrangements have been
made for tho Bale of tho barb wtro
trochas to the Boers at a nominal
price for uso in making fences. Thus
the wire that stopped the tierce Hour,
or failed to stop 1dm, will keep peace
loving kino within xiropcr bounds
hereafter and may it servo warlike
uses no more forever.
Mr Hohwab'H Valued Advloo.
Collego graduates may bo benefited
by tho advice of Charles M. Schwab,
president of the United States Steel
corporation, who, being credited
with a salary of $1,000,000 a year,
may bo regarded as a suitable per
son to give advice. Ono million a
year is, of course, tho ultimate aim
of each of us, and if Mr. Schwab will
kindly enlighten our young men on
how to get $1,000,000 a year he will
doubtless confer a great blessing on
them.
Kliclnml'ft Wnnltltiicton M Union.
Some of tho London papers are
warning their government that tho
rank of its representutho at Wash
ington ought to bo immediately
raised. While the annual salary of
the British minister to Paris is$t5,
000, and those of tho representa
tives at Berlin, Constantinople and
Vienna ? 10,000, that- of tho minister
nt Washington Is only $32,500. Tho
snlary of tho British minister at
Washington, in fact, is smaller than
, is that of tho head of the mission
nt Home.
Queer Notion of (IrHtituiln.
Cuban independence has brought
in its train amnesty and freedom for
all Americans convicted of or in
dicted for crimo during federal oc
cupation of tho island. Thus some
ingrained rascals of tho more des
perate sort will go unwhipped of
justico after all. President Palma's
view of tho matter is that it is sim
ply "an evidence of gratitudo and
good will toward tho American peo
ple." In recognition of our benevo
lence nnd generosity our scoundrels
re to be sent back to us.
WAS MDJftDER DONE?
Matron of Kansas Reform School

Murdnr.
Topeka, Kan., Juno 21. Matron
Lowe, of tho state reform school, lies
at Stormont hospital with two bul
let wounds through her abdomen, un
conscious and with no hopo of re
covery. Her husband, J. C. Lowe, is
in priBon charged with tho crime, a
bullet wound in his hend. When
tho shots were heard Sunday by a
watchman ho rushed to tho scene,
found Mrs. Lowe writhing on tho
floor exclaiming: "It was an acci
dent; it was an accident." In a few
moments she became unconscious.
Lowe also declared that the shooting
was accidental. Nearby lay a re
volver with four empty chambers.
Passing the medical ward, Lowo
seized a quart can labeled "carbolic
acid" and swallowed it, but tho con
tents proved a weak solution and had
no injurious elTcct. There has been
no quarrel between them that was
known of and the entire ail'air la en
veloped In mystery.
Mrs. Lowo died at 1:15 this morn
ing. John C. Lowe, who is under a ter
rible shadow, was born in Linn coun
ty, Kan., about 32 years ago. Pre
vious to his appointment to a posi
tion in the reform school he was n
prominent school-teacher and served
as county school superintendent.
Lowe is a graduate of the Kansas
state normal school. His father is a
wealthy stockman and chairman of
the republican central committee of
Linn count. Mrs. Lowe, tho mur
dered woman, previous to her mar
riage, was a school-teacher.
HE ACKNOWLEDGES DEFEAT.
I'rimblnrit HooxovHt Di-npnlrs of TiirllT Hoc-
Iproolty with Culm. Klltior by Lcr-
Ulittlou or Troll ty.
Washington, Juno 24. It hns been
determined that no reciprocity treaty
with Cuba can bo submitted at tho
present session of congress. It was
at first planned that, in the event of
the failure of the administration
managers in tho senate to secure fa
vorable action on tho Cuban sugar
bill, a treaty would bo drafted at
once. This was on tho understand
ing that Scnor Qucsada, tho Cuban
minister hero had full powers and
that a treaty could be drawn in
Washington entirely. Tt is stated
now, however, that this cannot bo
done and that any draft of a treaty
must go to Hawinn and bo returned
before it can be submitted to tho
senate. This, of course, cannot bo
accomplished in the short space of
time intervening before adjournment
if the estimates of the leaders that
congress will adjourn by July 4 nre
correct. No confidence is felt in ad
ministration circles as to the ability
of tho senate managers to secure
tho ratification of a treaty, even if
ono is drawn, and while tho presi
dent mny feel called upon to put the
matter to a test, it will be rather
with tho idea of demonstrating his
own purpose to do everything possi
ble for Cuba, than in any expectation
that 'a two-thirds vote for ratification
could bo received.

companies of United States infantry,
which arrived here Friday night on

urday and marched to their tempo
rary quarters nt the presidio. In
ferring to his regiment, Col. Habo
said: "I have only about 400 of my

times by bolos and stilettos in the
fierce onslaught of tho natives of
Samar, and Sergeant Pickett was
severely cut in the abdomen with n
bolo. The losses of the regiment in
the four campaigns of Santiago, Lu

those of any other in tho United
States army. Six officers and 110 men
were killed and seven officers and 1C3
men wounded. In addition three offi
cers and 102 men died of disease
or were drowned.

1111(1 Cut tin KiiIhith.
Havana, June 23. President Palma
and his cabinet have decided on a
plan which they hope will relievo tho
the economic situation on the island.
A message will be sent to congress,
probably next week, which will call
for the expenditure of $3,500,000, to
be distributed among the sugar grow
ers and cattle raisers. Three million
dollars is to be advanced to sugar
planters at the rate of 50 cents an
nrroba, or 25 pounds; to be returned
in two installments in Februnry and
March. To cattle breeders will bo
paid a premium of $5 for each animal
imported for breding purposes, up to
100,000. Further than this nil such
cattle will be admitted free of duty.
There also is to be an increased tariff
on many articles imported now un
der small duties, to raise the money
to be distributed.

By a Majority of Eight the Senate
Adopts Spooner Amendment.
President Will Select Panama Iloute for
Ixthmlan Canal If Hn Can Obtain Clear
Title, Otherwise Hn Shall Adopt
Nicaragua Itnuto,
Washington, June 20. An isthmian
canal, while not yet absolutely as
sured, is nearer to construction than
it ever has been. The senate yester
day by a majority of eight votes
adopted the Spooner substitute for
tho Hepburn Nlcnragua canal bill,
the vote on tho substitute being 42
to 31. After two amendments to tho
measure had been adopted, ono pro
viding for a commission to superviso
tho construction of the canal and tho
other providing for the issuance of
$130,000,000 of two per cent, gold
bonds to raise money with which to
construct the waterway, it was
passed by a vote of 07 to 0.
It lias been evident for several
days that tho Spooner substitute,
which in brief provides thnt tho
president shall select the Pnnnma
route if he can obtain a clear title
to the Panama Cannl company's
property, but, otherwise, he shnll
adopt the Nicaragua route, would

command the votes of a majority of
tho senate. The Panama route was
considered more desirable by the sen

only question left open is the titlo
to the property and that the presi
dent will determine if tho houso
should ndopt the senate's amend
ment to its bill.

A Good Tonic.
Pe-ru-na is a natural and efficient
nerve tonic. It strengthens and re

the body.
Through tho use of Pe-ru-nn tho .
weakenedor overworked nerves resume 1
their natural strength nnd the blood '
vessels begin at once to regulate the
flow of blood according to nature's
laws. Congestions immediately disap
pear. Cut a r I'll Curctl.
All phases of catarrh, acute or
chronic, are promptly nnd permanent
ly cured. It is through its operation
upon the nervous system that Pe-ru-na
has attained such a world-wide reputa
tion as a sure and reliable remedy for
nil phases of catarrh wherever located.
If you do not derive prompt and sat
isfactory results from the use of Pe
