IS DOWN ON SELF-MADE MEN HAS SWORN ETERNAL VEN- GEANCE AGAINST ALL SUCH STATESMEN. Topeka, Kan., April 5.—An insane man, who gives his name as J, Everest Worthington, whose former place of residence the police have been unable to learn, was caotured Monday within a block of the state house, where he said he was going to kill Gov. E. W. Hoch. The man was unarmed, but he is of a powerful build and undoubted- ly would have handled the chief execu- tive roughly had he not been inter- cepted. The news of the capture was withheld by the police until yesterday. Worthington is now in the county jail and will be seut to an asylum. Communication his held with him by means of written questions and an- swers, as he prétends To Be Deaf and Dumb. In answer to a question in regard to what his purpose was with the govern- or, Worthington said: “J was inspired by Pyrus, the god of fire, to come here and kill Gov. Hoch. I have sworn eternal vengeance against all statesmen who pretend that they are self-niade men. If it had not been for his officer who captured me, Gov. Hoch would have been no more, for | was on my way to the cap- itol to kill him when I was arrested. One who has risen from obscurity to a high place is the worst enemy of the impecunious genteel. Therefore, I hate Hoch.” Worthington dresses well and has the appearance of a man of intelli- gence. He is tall and strong and has yed hair and blue eyes. He was ar- rested by C. D. Miler, the officer of the juvenile court, whose attention was at- tracted by the peculiar actions of the man. ATTORNEY GENERAL FIRED. Col. A. C. Stewart of lowa Too Busy Socially in Porto Rico.

There were thir- teen bills on the calendar yesterday, but none were voted on, the house pre- ferring to work in committee of the whole, disposing of the many meas- ures on general orders. The result was a surprise to the most industrious members. Eighty bills were considered and fifty-tour a third fish hatchery to be located | peasures were recommended to pass. near Brainerd, with the understanding | that the measure be referred to the finance committee, retaining its place om the calendar. The senate passed the following: Authorizing county commissioners to allow county superintendents re- ceiving salary less than $1,200 per an- num $250 for expenses; providing for the adoption’ of abandoned children coming into the possession of an in- corporated Bethel society; regulating the practice of embalming; permitting cities of less than 10,000 inhabitants to include within their within an adjoining county; to pro- vide for the separation of unplatted agricultural lands included within the limits of villages in certain cases; to provide for the drainage of the swamp | and marshy lands of the state.

The measure requires that the capitol be turned over to the governor at the ex- piration of two years, if it is not com- pleted sooner. Senator George W. Somerville’s in- heritance tax bill was recommended for passage yesterday by the senate committee of the whole without a dis- senting vote. The senate adopted an amendment to Senator Henry A.

At the request of Senator Morgan, the committee re- ported progress on the bill. The Perley bill, taking university and the normai schools from the jurisdiction of the state board of control, scored an over- whelming victory in the house, and passed by a vote of 78 to 27.

A. Gates’ bill to re- quire grade crossings in cities or vil- lages to be protected with automatic gates or flagmen. The senate yesterday made a spe- cialty of killing election bills.

Senatorial Courtesy. It was in the year 1903. . The senator from Colorado talking on the statehood Dill. There came an interruption. he senator from Wisconsin arose and: said: “Will the gentleman permit me to ask a question?” “Yes, if it is germane to the matter in hand,” was the reply. “It is, Mr. President.

What Everybody Says. Jamboree, Ky., April 3rd.—*(Spe- cial.) —“I suffered for years with my pack,” says Mr. J. M. Coleman, a well known resident of this place. “Then I used Dodd’s Kidney Pills and I have not felt a pain since. My little girl complained of her back. She used about one-half box of Dodd’s Kidney Pills and she is sound and well.” It is thousands of statements like the above that show Dodd’s Kidney Pils to be the one cure for Backache or any other symptom of deranged kidneys. For Backache is simply a sign that the Kidneys need help. Dodd’s Kidney Pills always cure Backache. They also always cure Bright’s Disease, Diabetes, Dropsy, Rheumatism, Bladder and Urinary Troubles and Heart Disease. These are more advanced stages of kidney disease. Cure your Backache with Dodd’s Kidney Pills and you need never fear them. A Fair Exchange. Mrs. Stuckup (to dear friend)— Have you any cards to change, dear? Dear Friend—What do you mean, post cards?

The other afternoon, while talking to his gardener, a certain Yorkshire gentleman expressed the opinion that the ivy on the end of the porch was “in a bad way.” Indeed, he was haif in- clined to pull it down. He subsequent- ly mentioned the matter to his wife, who, however, was strongly against such a course. “Ah, John,” remarked the gentle- man, on meetiug his gardener the next morning, “about that ivy. Mrs. prefers to let it remain as it is. She advances many good reasons why it should not be destroyed.” “Well, sir,” replied John, “the lady’s entitled to her opinion, of course, but that ivy ought to come down, y’know.” “Perhaps it should—” “And I’ve got a good reason or two for saying so,” went on the gardener. “In the first place, it’s a reg’lar heye- sore; in the second, it harbors spar- rows, and sparrows is a noosance; in the third, you had a sort of an idea it ought to come down yesterday; and in the fourth—well, I cut it down last night, sir.” Mr, X—— appreciated the “fourth reason” far better than did his wife. CHILDREN AFFECTED. By Mother’s Food and Drink. Many babies have been launched into life with constitutions weakened by disease taken in with their moth- er’s milk. Mothers cannot be too care- ful as to the food they use while nurs- ing their babes. The experience of a Kansas City mother is a case in point: “I was a great coffee drinker from a child and thought I could not eat a meal without it. But I found at last it was doing me harm. For years I had been troubled with di ; before my eyes and pain in my heart, to which was added two years ago a chronic sour stomach. The baby was born 7 months ago, and almost from the beginning it, too, suffered from sour stomach. She was taking it from me! “In my distress I consulted a friend of more experience than mine, and she told me to quit coffee, that coffee didnot make good milk, I have since ascertained that it really dries up the milk. “So, I quit coffee and tried tea and at last cocoa. But they did not agree with me. Then I turned to Postum Coffee with the happiest results. It proved to be the very thing I needed. It not only agreed perfectly with baby and myself, but it increased the flow of my milk. My husband then quit coffee and used Postum, quickly got well of the dyspepsia with which he had been troubled. I no longer suffer from the dizziness, blind spells, pain in my heart or sour stomach. Post- um has cured them. “Now we all drink Postim from my husband to my seven months’ old baby. It has proved to be the best hot drink we have ever used. We would not give up Postum for the best coffee we ever drank.” Name giver by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. ‘There’s @ reason. Get the little book “The Road te Wellville” in each pkg. | | 4 *
