There is one thing aboat the French man river, that inhabits this immedi ate locality, that, says the Chase County Champion, a great many people not ac quainted with the stream cannot un derstand, and that is its never varying volume as affected by the seasons throughout the comparatively short distance that it flows upon the surface. It is easy enough when you enter into the geological condition of the matter. Hut the plain situation is that the river is made up of the most numerous, un ceasing and mammoth springs that go to make up any stream of its size in any plain country, we dare sav, on the face i of the earth. CONSUMPTION SURELY CONQUERED. Physicians Everywhere are now Caring tble Heretofore Fatal Disease and tbe Medical World I* Convinced. Enthusiastic reports from once hope less consumptives all over the land make it certain the cure discovered by a Cincinnati scientist is all that was claimed for it a year or so ago when The New York Hecorder awarded him the diploma and 81000 prize it had of fered for a treatment which would stay tjie ravages of consumption. Even the most conservative medical journals now admit the marvelous re sults reported by the thirty thousand physicians prescribing Amick's medi cines are not exaggerated. The Doctor of Hygene of which Dr. Cyrus Edson, chief of the New York State Hoard of Health, is the editor, says in its last issue: “We have de layed for something over a year giving notice to the Amick treatment for con sumption because as the formula was not given to the profession, time alone would demonstrate whether it merited condemnation or endorsement. With the evidence which month after month has accumulated we are obliged to ad mit the preponderance of testimony favors Dr. Amick’s claims and in the face of results reported from physicians who if anything were rather disposed against the treatment at the beginning the claims of the Cincinnati physician are shown to have been within the bounds of truth and conservatism. He has from the first shown an evidently sincere desire to have crucial and im partial tests made of the treatment by all physicians and to this end he still distributes broadcast free test packages of his medicines, each of which must represent quite a little money. All conscientious physicians admit them selves powerless to cope with this de stroyer of life except with the Amick treatment and therefore feel bound to give it to patients under their care, and the fact that any person with lung trouble can obtain sufficient of the med icines to show just what they, will do for each sufferer without cost proves conclusively that Dr. Amick knows the results will be favorable. WHO THEY ARE. Secretary Carllele Makes Public the Names of the Bond Subscribers. Washington, Feb. 10.—Responding to the resolution passed by the senate on the 2d inst., the secretary of the treasury yesterday sent to the senate a statement showing the names of bond subscribers offering 117.223, whoso subscriptions were accepted, together with the amount subscribed for and the amount allotted at the price.

Ill* Views and Policy on Financial Ques tions, Including Silver Seigniorage, Bonds and Finance In General as Set Forth In His Testimony Before the Secret Meeting of the Judiciary Committee. Washington, Feb. 12.—Secretary Carlisle’s exact views and policy on financial questions, including silver seigniorage, bonds and finance in gen eral, are set forth in the testimony of the secret hearing of Secretary Car lisle before the house committee on judiciary recently. This is as follows: Concerning the coinage of silver seigniorage, Representative Oates asked: “I want to ask you if there is any objection to the proposition about coining the seigniorage and issuing certificates against that.” Secretary Carlisle—Well, the effect of that would be that the secretary of the treasury would issue silver certifi cates calling for dollars. I suppose when there were no dollars behind them and if they came in for re demption, as they might, the secre tary of the treasury would be com pelled to use gold or whatever else he had to redeem them. Mr. lloatner—Could you not coin the silver and use that? Secretary Carlisle—Yes, in about two years. It would take about that time. W. A. Stone of Pennsylvania—Have you not got enough silver to redeem it? Secretary Carlisle—No, sir; certifi cates are outstanding against what we have, except about §5,000,000 or $6,000,000. Mr. Stoner—What would be the ob jection to issuing certificates on ac count of the seigniorage? Secretary Carlisle—I was going to state that if we should issue certifi cates with nothing behind them but bullion I think they would be greatly discredited in the public mind. Mr. Stone—And in order to keep up the credit you would have to redeem them in gold? Secretary Carlisle—They would have to be redeemed in something. , Mr. Stone—If you redeemed it In silver it would be discredited and you would have to redeem it in gold? Secretary Carlisle—They would call for silver dollars and there are no silv er dollars to redeem them. In answer to a question as to how fast the coinage seigniorage could be coned, Mr. Carlisle said: “If all other coinage was suspended at the mints, I estimate that we could coin about 4,000,000 silver dollars per month or $48,000,000 a year.” The bond question was treated very elaborately by Mr. Carlisle. His pur pose as to using the proceeds of the sales of bonds is sharply set forth in the following colloquy: Mr. Stone—I understand your pur pose is simply to sell bonds to redeem United States treasury notes and the surplus to replenish the reserve fund? Secretary Carlisle—That is my pur pose, but 1 want to say to you gentle men that the secretary of the treasury may be confronted hereafter with a very serious _ question as to what he will do in the event congress fails or refuses to make provision to allow the deficiency. Suppose, for instance, congress passes a law, which it does every session, making appro priations for some particular purpose —the payment of pensions for illus tration—and makes it the duty of the secretary of the treasury to pay them out of any money in the treasury not otherwise appropriated—which is the language of all of your appropriation laws—and the secretary of the Inte rior makes a requisition upon the treasury department for money to pay pensions. The secretary of the treasury finds no money in the treasury not otherwise not ap propriated except the money that has been realized from the sale of bonds. He will be confronted with the ques tion whether he will stop the payment of pensions, whether he will stop the payments upon public buildings, whether he will stop payment for work upon rivers and harbors, whether he will withhold salaries or use the money in the treasury not otherwise appropriated. Mr. Boatner—Would you consider it improper to give your opinion as to the duties of the secretary of the treasury? Secretary Carlisle—I will give it very plainly. I believe that it is my duty to pay pensions and all other public obligations and, unless con gress stops me, I shall do so. While I stay there I shall endeavor to main tain the credit of the government by paying its obligations. Mr. Boatner—Out of the proceeds of the bonds which you, now propose to sell? .. secretary Carlisle—I would not use the proceeds of bonds if it were pos sible to avoid it, but I^would not let the obligations of the government go to protest and fail to pay the appro priations made by congress for legiti mate purposes and for carrying on the expenses of the government as long as there is a dollar in the treasury. Mr. Carlisle further stated his re luctance to resort to bonds. As to the kind of a bond he thought congress would authorize there was the follow ing: Mr. Boatner: The plan that yon sug gest to remedy this trouble will be for the secretary to issue bonds for a specific purpose: is that the point? Secretary Carlisle: I think a short time bond should be authorized bear ing » low rate of interest, to be issued in small denominations, which I think would be taken largely by the people who have money in the savings banks, ind the secretary could sell them or use the proceeds in payment of ex penditures and redeem them out of the further revenues. That was my -ecommendation on the subject simply because I saw it was impossible for :ongress to provide by taxation any j revenue which could be collected in time for this fiscal year. FOR FREE SILVER COINAGE. Another Fight for It to Be Made Shortly by Mr. Bland. Washington, Feb. 12.—The strength developed by Mr. Bland’s silver seig niorage bill leads to the belief that another movement will be made for unlimited silver coinage as a sequence of the passage of the silver seignior age bill. Mr. Bland introduced a bill “for the free coinage of standard silver dol lars’’ and it went to tne coinage com mittee and was about to be discussed when Mr. Bland asked that it be tem porarily laid aside in order that the seigniorage bill might first be acted on. As to the measure Mr. Bland said to-day: “It has been put aside for the present but will probably be taken up later. No definite plans have yet been made, but it is evident that many members want the opportunity again of voting on the free silver question.” 1 Representative Williams of Illinois, one of Mr. Bland’s lieutenants, says that lie has no doubt that the free silver question, pure and simple, will again be presented to this congress. The facts is also being noted that of about twenty-five Republican mem bers counted in favor of tfie seignior age bill, some are outspoken in favor of following up the measure with a free coinage bill. Representative Tracy of New York, one of the anti-silver leaders, says that a bill for unlimited coinage of silver could not pass the house. Mr. Bland’s free silver bill repeals that portion of the act of 1883 which prohibits the coinage of standard sil ver dollars. It also repeals that por tion of the law of 1887 that provides "for the coinage and legal tender power of silver dollars of 412% grains standard silver.” RECEIVERSHIP PROBLEMS. Congress May Be Called Upon to Define the Status of Court Protected Roads. Washington, Feb. 12.—There is a movement in the bouse to urge upon the judiciary committee an investiga tion of the management of railroads under receivers appointed by the federal courts. So many complica tions have arisen lately as the system of receivership control has spread, that the matter has been brought be fore the committee in several of its phases. An influence which tends to restrain the committee on judiciary from re viewing the actions of the courts un necessarily is that the judiciary is a co-ordinate branch of the government. Its members hesitate to take any ac tion which might look like interfer ence by one branch of the govern ment with the functions of another. THE HOUSE’S SESSION SAD. Work Cut Short by Mr. Honk's Death— Eulogies on Other Dead Postponed. Washington, Feb. 12.—To-day was set aside by special order for eulogies upon the life and character of the late Representative O'Neill of Pensylvania and the late Senator Stanford of California, but on account of the death of Mr. Houk of Ohio that order was vacated and the house adjourned out of resjject to the memory of the dead Ohio representative. In liis prayer at the opening of the session Chaplain Bagby referred feelingly to Judge Ilouk's death. . l-pon motion of Mr. Loud the time for paying tribute to the memory of tiie late Senator Stanford and Repre sentative O’Neill was postponed until Monday at 3 o’clock. SOLDIERS’ HOMES. A Clause In an Appropriation Bill Af fecting Veterans’ Resting Places. Milwaukee, Wis., Feb. 12.—The Telegraph of this city has advices from Washington that the house com mittee on appropriations has tacked a clause. to a bill which it recently reported, which will take the control of the national soldiers’ .homes from the boards of man agers and place them entirely under the control of the war depart ment. Little Money for the River. Washington, Feb. 12.—Chairman Blanchard says that the river and har bor bill will probably not be ready to report to the house for at least three weeks. Speaking of the size of it he says that it will be a very small bill, probably carrying about $10,000,000, as the determination has been reached not to have any new improvements provided for in this bill and to cut the appropriations for projects now under way. NEW KANSAS DECISIONS. The Supreme Court Kentores Sheriff Mort gage Sale Fees—-.Bull Fens" Upheld. Topeka, Kas.. Feb. 12.— Among the 'opinions handed down by the supreme court this morning was one by Chief Justice Horton, holding that section of the Douglass mortgage redemption law relating to the fees and commis sions of sheriffs unconstitutional and of no effect. It provided that when land was bid in by or for the “prior creditor’ the sheriff should receive no commission for the sale. Another interesting case decided was one involving the right of cities to compel offenders against ordinances to work out their fines. The court held that ordinances of this kind were not unconstitutional and could be en forced. Justice Allen, populist mem ber, dissented. Shot bf m Jealous Hnibaad. v Scranton, Kan., Feb. 12.—Lastniglit about midnight Samuel Cannady, liv ing south of here, followed Ezra Mil ler, who had accompanied Cannady’s wife to the railway station, and shot him through the abdomen.
