T., Oct. 10 "What is be lieved to be the first strike in Oklahoma on account of the color line is now on in Gufhrie. At the start the strike was gen eral anions the stonemasons and stone cutters, and -work came to a standstill on every building now in course of erec tion. .Today the strike was declared off, the contractors acceding to the demands of the men that they1 discharge their ne gro hefp, except at the Masonic temple, where the trouble orijrlnated. The strike is not due to the usual ques tion of wages or hours, but arose over the employment of a negro stonemason, the "white men who are employed on the walls of the temple refusing to work with him. The riegro workman, whose name is Brown, and who caries a card of. membership in the Winfleld Stonecut ters' union, applied to Contractor Van denberg and was given a job. The work men protested to the contractor that they would not -work with a negro, but tho contractor, after consuling with the Ma sonic building committee, told the men ttiat cither they would work with the negro or they might take their tools and so, which latter course the men elected to follow. The workmen employed on other buildings followed suit, at first as a sympathy movement, which turned into a demand upon the contractors that the skilled workmen mustt be either all white or all negro. As stated before, all the contractors except Vandenberg gave in to the men and work was resumed ex cept at the temple, whore a force of three nerroes is at work. There is another story afloat to the effect that a rival contractor ribbed up ihe trouble among the workmen employed on the Masonic temple with the expecta tion that tho Masonic committee would nullify the contract with Vandenberg and give it to him, the rival contractor. SPEECH OF MELVILLE E STONE introducing the Specchiuaking at the Chicago lay Banquet. Chicago, Oct. 10. At the Chicago Day banquet Mr. Melville E. Stone, general manager of the Associated Press, offici ated as toastmaster. He introduced the intellectual part of tho festivities in the following speech: "Happy tho man who could voice in fitting phrase tho sentiments inspired by this hour. Tho occasion perhaps is not one of great moment the laying of a cornaretone. But it lias served a higher purpose and has a wider significance. "What day could be more fitting for such a ceremony? It commemorutes4 tho anniversary of that other day twenty eight years ago, when in the ashes we laid the foundation of this new and better city.- We laid it to the music of a tempest of flame and then began a sad procession of homeless men and women. Desolate but undaunted, the people of Chicago turneu tneir laces to tne east, ana tawing conrage from the. sympathy and support of their fellow men, went forward to a deslny far outstripping every dream of their imagination. "Kijt. more than this it was in this month and on this very day that we t ounded the last note of discord with our ister republic of Mexico, and still more, one hundred and eighteen years ago, on the plains of Torktown, in the month of October, and almost this very day, we struck the final blow for American inde pendence and thus laid the cornerstone of our national edifice. "On such an anniversary we (are happy to open our gates and greet this asem blage. It is a gathering of tho high min isters of authority of the three great poo pies of this continent. Three peoples with a common purpose. Three peoples having a single aim. Three peoples working out under difforlng conditions the problems of self government. "You are met, gentlemen, to cement a closer bond of amity, to ordain a new citizenship In that higher realm where national lines disappear and where wo shall all be loyal to American liberty, the forces which make for the betterment of the human race."

The Oklalioma City Times-Journal says,: Bert Cornell- aon was placed under-aqres; this morning; toy the sheriff of Cowley eoaaty. Kansas, t non warrant charging him whA the I r i'iVh of $336 from the Glacrtvne'RMBi t J Arkaiwis City. Bert protects his lano k ard wi'l go to Arkansas City with c .t a rt-qulMon. Everybody her a 60 llves that some ig mistake has been snade, as Brt Conca nn aahnosSHRD j made, as Bert Concannon has always borne the best kind of a reputation here for honesty and industry. The facts, as we get them from the Arkansas City Trav eler, are as follows: One day last week between 9 and 12 o'clock the safe of the Gladstone hotel was robbed of ?326, all the funds that were in It. Nobody saw the thief, nor any persan loitering about the premises. Bert Concannon was day clerk of the hotel, and Inpjsmuch as he had con-' trol of the saft at the time the robbery took place, the owner naturally felt some what aggrieved at what at the -time ne claimed was Bert's carelessness in -leaving the safe unlocked. The proprietor dis charged Bert for his carelessness. Bert came down here to visit his father. "While here the 'arrest jwas made, as stated above. GOVERNOR BARNES' REPORT Completed, and Will be an Advance Evcn.onX.ast Year's. Guthrie, O. T., Oct. 10 Governor Barnes finished writing his report Saturday night late. A force of type-writers Is now at work on It, and it will be complete and "hnimfi rondv for the frovernor's signature n-in Vio -otnrn frnm Chicago tomorrow I night, and will then be forwarded to Washington. The report contains some thing over CO.OOO words, and five copies of it are being made. It will be accom panied by twenty-five photographs Illus trating the resources and conditions of the territory; also by a correct, up-to-date map of the territory. Governor Barnes' report last year was something entirely new and novel from the usual run of re port submitted from the territories. It was an eloquent word-painting of the re sources of Oklahoma such as never before had been presented in an official form, and it excited favorable comment from the leading journals of the nation. So large was the demand from outside sources for cosies of the report that the supply of 700 copies furnished by the general government was soon exhausted, but the legislature, in recognition of the advertising value of the report, appro priated $1,000 for the purchase of addi tional copies. Excellent as was last year's report, that of this year will be even better. FOR CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE Ericnds of S. I. Johnson of Alva are Working for Win. Alva, O. T., Oct. 10. Sunday night the people of Alva were entertained by an entertaining lecture at the Congregational church, by Hon. S. L. Johnson, his sub ject being "God in History," and "Bel 3cRazzars Feast" the text. His lecture was a genuine surprise to many, original in i'ts conception; and adderssed to one of the largest audiences ever assembled in Alva. Mr. Johnson has been here for the past six years and vas postmaster under Cleveland. He 'has many friends all over the territory, and the people who know him believe his ability second to none. For some time past his friends here have been quietly working with a view to his nomination as delegate to congress,, which Dosition. they assert, he would fill with' honor to himself and credit to the terri tory. As Woods county alone lias at least 5,000 votes, to say nothing of the balance of the counties west of the Rock Island railroad, his freinds claim the nomination should come to the west side by right, and they propose to have it, and say that in the future the east, In fix ing up slates, had "better foe careful, lest they should be broken later on.

OLD PIETJOUBERT'S VIEW Dr. (Gavin tBrown Clark, radical mem ber of the pulfllc commons for Caithness, who all along has worked hard for peace, has just received a characteristic letter of thanks from Commandant General Joubert, in which General Joubert de clares .that Cecil Rhodes, Dr. Jameson and Mr. Chamberlain are responsible for the mischief. He says: "The Johannes burg clique say that Mr. Chamberlain regards the existence of the Orange Free State and the Transvaal as two blots which, as Cecil Rhodes has said, must be wiped out from the map. He seems de sirous to do this with the blood of the Afrikander people and of the poor Brit ish soldiers. We do not desire war. We know we are not a match, for the power ful armies of Great Britain and her will ing colonies. We never have been able to do anything against England's might. Mr. Chamberlain is trying to drive us will speak to the kind heart of her ma jesty, the queen, and that of her noble people, and that they will not allow this wicked Haman to cool his hatred against our land's Mordeacl. We are convinced that Chamberlain will try to conquer our country and we shall try to prevent Mm, by the help of God, to the last drop of our blood." 5 PUBLIC HAS GONE WAR-MAD Whatever official feeling might be, 'there was no mistaking the significance of the great-manifestation, combined with war spirit, of imperial solidarity that oc curred in the streets of London this morning when the New South Wales Lancers traversed tthe city to embark for South Africa. Tens of thousands assem bled to do homage to the little handful of soldiers, representing the empire's loy alty. Rrom the arrival of the squadron' at Waterloo station to the embarking on the railway train at Fenchurch Street station, tumultuous scenes of wild en thusiasm marked ithe route traversed.. The bands were allowed to play nothing but "Soldiers of the Queen," '"Rule Britannia," and "God Save the Queen," in which the dense crowds joined. It is doubtful if such a frenzied welcome was ever before witnessed in London. There was an incessant roar of cheers and song until the Mansion House, tho official res idence of the lord mayor of London, was reached. Here traffic was completely "blocked toy the surging throngs, and iti was only with the greatest difficulty that the lord mayor, Sir John "Voce Moore, In the full robes of office, restrained the singing and vociferous cheering while ho addressed the troops, wishing them god speed and expressing the Interest of the country in (their heroic determination to assist in asserting imperial authority in South Africa. Sir John Moore said: "I hope there will be no war, but the 'ne cessities of the moment require a dem onstration of authority." The inspiring scene closed with (the singing of the' na tional anthem, the lord mayor leading. A similar demonstration took place at Fenchurch Street station. The windows in the neighborhood were crowded with sightseers, 'who showero minuiature un ion jacks and squares of buntlrfg bearing portraits of the queen upon the passing troops. When the station was reached an incident occurred typical of the read iness of the colonists to fight. Viscount Hampden, former governor and commander-in-chief of New South Wales, was present. A sargeant .ajor stepped forward and drew Lord Hampden's at tention to the fact that he was wearing the same sword used by his lordship when tho latter belonged to the New South Wales Lancers. Lord Hampden was about to examine the weapon, when the sergeant major cautioned him, say ing: "That sword has been sharpened. and Is ready for active service." 00IYI PAUL'S HAND FORCED The reports from all the military cen tres show that, the mobilization orders are received with the greatest enthusi asm, now that President Kruger has crossed the Rubicon and taken the irre vocable step of issuing an ultimatum. The only wonder is why, if President Kruger is resolved upon fighting, he has waited so long. The explanation seems to be that his hand has been forced by the fact that tho Boers have got out of control, or that, if he awaited the arri val of the British ormy corps, the chances of military success for him would be of the islmest possible character. BURGHERS IMPATIENTTO'STRIKE A dispatch from Pretoria, datad Men day evening, says: "Owing tD tne ftate of the country generally and the sad cr cumsances which prevail, it has basi cf ficiaUy announced that there will oe no birthday reception at the presidency. Matters are becoming critical and many of the burghers In the three main com mandoes are impatient and feel that it is suicidal to await the arrival of oer whelming reinforcements from Europe. The president has done his utmost to stem this feeling, in the hope that diplo macy might still settle matters. During the past few days telegraphic confer ences have been held with President Seyn. and whatever course shall be tak en by the Transvaal will receive the rec ommendation of the Free State.

Commandant General Jcubert is credited with declaring that he would die fighting, but tliat tho Feer forces are inferior to the British and that nclhing would save the country after the first shot was fired. President Steyn, of the Orange Free Stat, 1.: going to t;sit the western border in orler to reassure anil stimulate the burghers there. Rum ors are current at Durban, that the Be ers have begun shooting the natives at the mines and that many bodies have ceenl seen lying on the veldt. A mysterious distribution of Mausers is occurring at Steynsburgh and other Dutch, districts of the Cape Colony. A meeting of Dutch residents has been held at Sterkstroom, at which It was resolved to ask the Cape government for arms, and the event of refusal to apply to to the Free Sfate. Two scouts from Labostl rade fifteen miles into Transvaal territory on Sunday last and found the Boers forming a camp near the Tull river. The scouts were ob served by the Boers, who gave chase and pursued them for two miles. A dispatch from Durban, Natal, dated yesterday, says: "The Gordon High landers, and all the troops that arrived from India today have been ordered to Ladysmlth. The coal that was seized by the Orange Free State authorities has been released, the officials explaining that it was seized because they thount the Transvaal mines were likely o close." A dispatch from Blomfonteln, capUal of the Orange Free State, notes the diffi culties in working the railroads, owing to the resignations of the employes. The Orange Free State authorities are already borrowing engineers from the Transvaal The action of the British third-class cruiser Philomel in Intercepting the Brit ish steamer Guedph, from Soutbamaton, supposed to be carrying ammunition to the Boers, and the fact ihat the Philo mel sailed today to.interceb the German liner Kansledr, with ammunition, go to show that Great Brltaln.,wilL not permit future deliveries of ammunition to the Boers, if it can be prevented. WHAT THE PAPERS;SAy London, Oct. 11. The "Vestminster Ga zette says: ""We learn 'from a trust worthy sourse that the British govern ment has also dispatcned a note contain ing stilngent demands, which must have crossed the Boer ultimatum. Diplomacy fias- thus said its last word, and the last word on each side Is of the kind to which the other is not In the least likely to yield." The Daily Chronicle this morning edito rially says it Is compelled to admit that the oBer ultimatum, unhappily worded as it is, makes war unavoidable. Edito rial aricles In other papers generally ex press pity for President Kruger's precip itancy, which places the Transvaal tech nically in the wrong. The Standard says: "The Transvaal's worst enemies could hardly have sup posed that its arrogance would lead It to such an extravagance. The note Is writ ten in a style which would-be offensive if it came from a first-rate" power and Is Inconceivably ridiculaus as emanating from a trumpery little state which exists only by Great Britain's forbearance." The Daily Mail says: "The Boers have doffed the mask and declared war, which their deluded supporters in England had considered so Impossible. Doubtless at first we may, suffer, but we suqered be fore, and in the end the Boers and their supporters will receive the punishment which their insane attempt to perpetu ate on an almost barbaric system, their government in the nineteenth century, most toroughly deserves." The Daily News, admitting that if de termined on war Kruger is Justified in striking while he has a chance of some isolated successes, says: "The Boers' "best friends will deplore that they have put themselves In the wrong." The Dally Telegraph says: "President Kruger has slammed' the door in the face of Great Britain with all the violence of infuriated folly He appears to have cele brated his birthday in a manner whicli (will bring his republic down upon his head." The Times says It has reason to believe that the government's reply to President Kruger will contain simply a brief ex pression of Tegret that he should have taken the serious step involved In ad dressing a communication of such a na ture to her majesty's government and in such a manner that her majesty's gov ernment has no further communication to -"make to him at the present moment. The crimes says, editorially: "The news that the Transvaal has taken such a step will be-jecelved with profound regret by a. jnajuriiy pi me, xiruisn people. the last we clung to the hope that blood- sned would be avoided, but that hope has deliberately been quenched by the wanton action of the Pretoria government. In i tone and substance, the ultimatum Is a document of studied insolent defiance. It ls the Transvaal, not we, who snap the last frail thread of negotiations. They .have declared war upon the British cm plre and they must feel her arm and pay ftfte penalty of their aggression." The ar- "cle concludes: "With Swlnbarne-in a vigorous ana cnaracierisuc soonei, wnicn he sends out today the sons of Cromwell tint! of B5ak( -nrHl err Strfe "P-nIand rz Trir mr- vftOTnr -orst a Tuin tv- 91 g,,.. fev s ed a0"a to" w-" Mateo, which was kaock- GHHgan of Boston for t$v.

Kditor. 5ix Hundred Democratic Clubs, (A.t Topeka Monday the executive committee of the Sun flower Democratic League met and decided upon the ap pointment of several organizers for each congressional dis trict In Kansas. These organizers are to form before Janu- ary 1, 1000, 600 Democratic clubs in the state. This is the final step in the plan of amalgamating the Populists the Democrats have decided to take so long, but have, for various reasons, feared. But good cause for fear seems to have passed, it 'is true that there Tvas a time when the Populists affected to despise one old party as much as the other. At that time it would have been political nonsense for the Democrats to have attempted 'to absorb the Populists, althought the Re publicans at that time, fearful the Democrats would swal low the populists, asserted that such deglutition was in progress. So there developed in the? years of campaigning two po litical efforts, one by the Democrats to absorb the Popu lists by keeping intact their own organization and gradually breaking that of the Populists; the second by the Repub licans through broad-side assaults on the tenets of Popul ism and honeyed prayers to themlito return them to the fold. It is noteworthy that the present disintegration of Pop ulism has not been accomplished by either the Democratic or Republican effort The break-up of Populism seems to be largely internal, and to have been caused ty several things. In the first place, Populism no longer hopes to cut a na tional figure. A member of the Populist party must con tent himself with a voice in purely, local or state politlrs. Anything he may say or do in national politics is only as an echo to regular Democrats. The Democratic national cen tral committee has the national campaign in charge. It ministry cares to be responsible for, If any loophole can be L found for escape from the position into which Chamberlain has led the government. The Hired Man, Tou are still determined to spend your vacation with Grandmother Eton at the It is certain that this painful sense of a very hard and iPld farm," ..said Mrs. Armstrong to her somewhat dangerous undertaking is the result, in great I Zunsestf dauf hter' w,ho ha4 "turned 0,0 home a. few davs nrevlnus from VAss.tr. measure, or tna ooia stana or mie ifree state, ay xisKing everything at once, the Boere of South Africa may saveall. Let the disinclination for a bloody and wicked war become a little stronger in Britain, and Lord Salisbury can safely. take counsel of his own prudence and love of peace, disre garding Chamberlain's threats of dire political consequences from any failure ito crush the Transvaal government. That is .the one element of hope In the South African crisis. does not look to Taylor Riddle or the Populist organization for the necessary work In Kansas. If there is national Pop ulist committee it is long ago forgotten. It is never men tioned. Populism In the South, where it started, has disap peared. American aspiration in a Populist or anybody else, does not rest happy with an exclusion from participation in national politics. But Kansas Populists have no voice in the nation politfcally, except as a buncoed and unthanked Democratic auxiliary. In the second case, the cause of the original Populist protest is largefy gone. Tinres are prosperous, and calam ity, when talked at all, is more a habit than the expres sion of actual and pinching grievance. It is not natural nor possible for American citizens to carry a prejudice for ever. The bitter protest against the Republican party by Populism in 1S90, may be reiterated today In Populist platforms, but it is no longer felt by the Populist Individ ually, except in rare instances. Again, a great majority of the Populists are Republi cans Ty birth. Thousands of them went through the Civil war. The Democratic party's conduct during that war was ignoble. Another war is in progress and the Democratic party takes the same old copperhead stand and has been sufficiently Influential to insert like expressions in Populist platforms, platforms which are repugnant to thousands of Populists who were raised in the idea that in the progress of a war, an American must be for America and for the flag. There are other causes for Populistic collapse but they all point one way, to the disintegration of the party by in dividual desertion from the party. It had been the hope of the Republicans in the past that the Populist party would swing back into the Republican party as a unit; It had been the hope of the Democrats that the Populist party would "be absorbed hy the Democratic party as a unit. As the evolution is working the individuals are slipping away from the Populist party and making choice of their own between the two dominant parties. The organization of the GOO Democratic clubs In Kansas Is to pick up, for the aid of the Democratic party, Popu lists who have jumped overboard and are swimming to new homes. It is an ingenious plan, ana is going to aid the Democrats of Kansas vastly; and to such an extent that within a very short time, when, in Kansas, that a man is not a Republican, it can be safely assumed that he is ,a Democrat. Our Lieutenant Chauncey Humphrey. The dispatches from Manila tell of the bravery of Lieu tenant Chauncey Humphrey of Wichita. There are so many acts of heroism on the part of our soldiers that special mention may be taken to meant that Lieutenant Humphrey's act was extraordinary. In crossing a trecnerous swollen stream he rescued several of his men and was nearly drowned himself. This is another young man that war has developed. First Jie took part in the Cuban, campaign and led a com pany up the heights east) of Santiago with signal bravery. Then he came home for a short visit and again departed. The esxt time the community heard from his he was in the short but exciting Leech Lake Indian campaign. From that point he went to the Philippines, the Eagle receiving a postal card from him at Singapore. The dispatches next related that he had plunged into the hostilities in Luzon and had been wounded and sent to the hospital. Now it seems he is out again and sturdy enough and daring enough to be swimming into a stream and hauling the men, who could not swim, out "When a young man has the knightly blood in him and the grit and the dash, there are a whole lot of things worse than a military career.

The Poor Canadian, "Sir." Sir "Wilfrid Laurier delivered himself at Chicago of the sentiment that Canada does not want one inch of our land. Canada; will not gt an Inch of our land. It would behoove Canada, to get over the cradle's side and toddle as far as the window and back before itj enters into a discussion with anybody. For Canada to assume an attitude towards the United States in a matter of which an eventuality might be war,) is ludicrous. The admixture of marsh Indian and im potent Gaul which owes allegiance to Great Britain and whose only recompense for homage is an all-day-sucker in rthe form of a Governor General, could not, seriously, whip one side of Texas, let alone the United States. If Canada could stand where It is today and the United States could be turned back a hundred and twenty-flve years and be a group of colonies again, war between the two would still be regarded in the light of a spring picnic by the Americans. Canada should be admitted to banquets and permitted to talk, but she should not have the presumption to be ask ed to) be taken seriously. Sitting Down on Hoar. Senator George F. Hoar, honored for nearly half a cen tury with the victorious vote of the Massachusetts Re publicans, met with stern rebuke at their state convention at "Boston Friday. Angered at his "fight in the rear upon President McKinley," as one of the Indignant delegates characterized the Senator's anti-expansion utterances, the party's chosen representatives gave the aged legislator these two distinct raps: "L Adopted a state platform in which the distinctive feature fs unqualified approval of President MoKinley's conduct of the war and hearty indorsement of his policies on the questions arising therefrom. "2. Open ignoring of the existence of Senator Hoar by the selection toy the state committee of Theodore C. Bates of "Worcester to preside at the party's customary ratifica tion meeting in that city next week." To those outside the state the selection of Mr. Bates as presiding; officer at the ratification, rally will doubtless con vey no significance, init to Massachusetts Republicans it is full of portent Always heretofore during his many decRdes of public life Senator, Hoar has been asked to preside at the annual ratification meetings in "Worcester when the con vention Is held in Boston and In Boston when the convention is held in Worcester. This year he has taken no part in the state campaign and he has been and will be ignored by I the state committee in its plans and programs. Why Great Britain Goes Slow, The Boers of the Orange Free State may possibly have saved South Africa from war by their bold and' loyal stand la behalf of their brethren of the Transvaal. It begins to look that way in London. If the Free State had decided to he neutral, the British Jjngo party would have swept the Salisbury ministry into iar in short order. Then t might have been said, with f tme show,- of reason, that the rule of President Kruger ws c ndemoed hy the Dutch neighbors of his country, and that ia pmce man iwrmony 01 boutn Africa wouid be best J sn.dny sutQectfn? the Transvaal Republic to British con trol The wafc prty would have had a far beuer oase be f re tie bax of international opinion than it can hope for now. t TH Thase of the question Is not.'eo important as the m-Ltary side of the matter ItIs tleaitht the nearer the British ffcvernment comes to war the less It likes the pros- -pcct Tne promise of very hard fighting' is good. The dan S r of reverses which might cause no end of "trouble in c.her parts of the British empire, notably In India, is too .great T- strength qf the Boers. owing t the alliance be in ecn the ino httle Dutch republics is enough to call for a much bigger and more expensive war than the British One of Lincoln's Advisers. The passing away of ex-Senator Harlan at the age of 79 removes one of Iowa's most noted public men, who had seen and participated in much "making of history?' He was reared as a farmer's boy in Indiana, and soon obtained prominence in whig political circles, being chosen governor of lowai when too young to fill the office. In 1854 he was sent to the senate and proved himself an able and eloquent leader. His relations with Abraham Lincoln af ter his election to the presidency in 18C0 were peculiarly close, one of his daughters marrying Lincoln's son, Robert He was called to fill the post of secretary of the interior in Lincoln's second cahinet, but returned to the senate in 1866. Mr. Harlan had lived in honored retirement for some time. From the 'presidency of Pierce to the presidency of Mc Kinley is a long span indeed of ibusy, interested life. What an interesting and valuable autobiography and study of contemporaries James Harlan of Iowa might have written. The Columbia's Men All Right. The newspaper sentiment of New York Is that the Sham rock is going to beat the Columbia. The crew aboard the Shamrock is pictured as confident and easy, and the men aboard the Columbia, the American yacht, as being con siderably rattled. If Mr. Oliver Iselln has a rattled crew aboard, they are rattled only because they are anxious for the test, and it does not augur defeat. They might appear better perhaps cool and collected, but the first race will show that they have their wits about them. At all events Americans are not the kind to go to pieces because they see a worthy com petitor. The decision to have a race every day after today Is good. This will keep the isterest taut, and add to the en thusiasm. g The Mexican minister in his speech at Chicago Hays that Mexico is adopting our Institutions. As a matter of fact when you step from El Paso across the river to Juarez you step from the nineteenth century back into the sixteenth. Lord Salisbury hasn't the grit to go to war. He is afraid to tackle the Boers w ith good reason. He was afraid to tackle the Sultan of Turkey when he should have attacked. It cannot be the Boers are delaying In the hope of for eign aid. The Boers have too good sense for that The Boers are delaying because their best war is a defensive one. The newspapers are criticising the American yacht The newspapers ore scared and want to scare the American sailors. A scared American sailor is a warm article. Fighting during the rainy season, as evidenced by eo many recent drownings, was not feasible. But the rainy season is over and the work will begin at once.

Mc- graduatlng with high honors. "Yes, mamma, I have given her my promise, and I will not disappoint her or Aunt Julia." "I am sorry, as I am most anxious that you should spend the season with us at Bar Harbor." "Yes, mamma, but Essie and Nell will be with you, and they will make up for my loss." "But, my dear, what will Mr. Roji ston say, or what will he think of you? We gave him to understand that you Would surely go, and It will be a great disappointment to him." "Never mind, mamma, Mr. Boylston will succeed, in getting some one to amuse 2iim as well as I possibly could." "Why, Lottie, how can you talk so when you know he adores you? There are few joung ladies that would throw away the opportunity that you are now doing. Robert Roylston is rich, hand some, and comes of a good family," said Mrs. Armstrong. v "Yes, and considers that he can take any girl's heart and kick it about like a foot-ball," added Lottie. Mrs. Arm strong was horrified, but she knew It would be useless to attempt to change her self-willed child, so it was settled that Lottie would spend her vacation on the old farm. It was not Robert Roylston's fault he heard the above conversation, as he sat on the piazza near the room where the mother and daughter were talking, it being Impossible for him to get away without letting them know that he heard at least part of their conversation. "So I take young girls' hearts and kick them round like a foot-ball? Eh, that's what my little spitfire thinks of me." Half an hour after Bob Roylston left the Arm strong cottage smoking a cigar and in a meditative mood. "This way, if you please, miss. I will ket your traps aboard." Lottie jumped into a comfortable two-seated carryall, and the hired man, after stowing away the satchels and bags, jumped in and turned the horses' heads toward the Eton farmhouse, a journey of five miles over the mountains. Miss Lottie, sitting In the rear seat, had ample opportunity to sudy Grand moher Eton's hired man. He had but lit tle to say, Lottie doing the most of the talking during the drive over the mount ains. It was a warm and hearty welcome Lottie received from grandmother and Aunt Julia. But later on, when the lat ter accompanied her to her room and assisted her In removing her uraps, It was evident that her mind was still on the "hired man." "Who is he, Aunt Julia? Where did he come from? What Is his name?" and fifty other questions in as many seconds were asked by Lottie. Aunt Julia replied that he was a poor student, and came up to the Profile House, where he expected fcvork. but das disappointed. "He asked us to take him for his board and give him any wages that we saw fit He said fils name was Edmund (Roberts, and he came from Plymouth, only he is the best hired man we ever had." Pretty as a picture was Lottie Arm strong as she entered the dining-room of the old farm-house that day. She barely noticed that the hired man was seated at the table, but was sensitive of the ;fao that his eyes were coninually upon her. She scarcely looked up during the meal, but when she did she felt that his eyes were looking through her. After dessert Mr. Roberts made a simple excuse about attending to business and left the ladies to themselves, much to Lottie's relief. "How far is the Profile House from here, grandma?" f, "About five miles," salirMrs. Eton. ""Would you have anytfpbjectlon to Mr. Roberts driving me overvthere this after noon?" "f "Certainly not; order him to do any thing you want done. Don't be timid In asking him; he is accommodating." It did not take him long to set old Dobbin hitched up, and the look he gave Miss Lottie when she asked him kent (her thinking where she saw Mr. Rott ers before, but the heavy dark beard de ceived her. Nearly every day some of the many places of Interest in the New Hampshire hills were visited. So much time did Lottie take of the hired man that another !hand was employed to do the rough work. One afternoon they started off on a huckleberry expedition. They were warn ed by Grandma Eton that there was a storm in the air and to be careful. But the sun shone so brightly that no heed was taken of her warning. 'Twas late In the afternoon when a lit tle spec appeared in the sky, but it grew Wonderfully fast and black. Little drops of rain commenced to fall, sharp flashes of lightning made the sky vivid, while the Toll of thunder made them think hea ven's artillery was let loose. Peal upon peal followed one after the other, and the rain fell in torrents. The berry-pickers ran at the first sign of the storm, but when they arrived at the place where they had left their team the storm was at its height To make matters worse, old Dobbin had broken his halter and started for home. "What shall ve do, O what shall we do?" cried Lottie. "O, Robert; O, I mean Mr. Roberts; no I mean Mr. Roylston. O, Robert, Rob, what shall we do?" And then, woman-like, fell in his arms in a faint. He lifted her In hjs arms to a nook on the side of the mountain road, which sheltered them from the heavy rain, and when she recovered she found his bushy beard asalnst her face and his great blue eyes looking down at her. She could not help smiling when Bob Roylston told her that he knew that she recognized him almost from the first day, but It took lightning and thunder from a clear sky to make her acknowledge it. But of course, the clouds cleared away and the sun smiled down upon the lov ers. Explanation followed.

Hensley yester day received a check from the county treasurer reimbursing him for $500 he had lost, and which, for a long time, he de spaired of ever recovering. When the county issued bonds in 1S95 Hensley was the first to purchase the bonds, most of which were sold to eastern speculators. (His bond was No. 1, Series 1 of the '95 Issue. The bond was placed In a private vault in the First National Bank, Mr. Hensley says, and no further thought giv en it for months. Going to his private vault one day, Hensley found that the bond was gone and at once notified B. F. Still, the cashier of the bank. Mr. Still was unable to throw any light on the mystery and for over a year a search was kept up for the missing bond. The (county commissioners at different ses sions were asked to take action in the matter and at a recent session the treas urer was Instructed to call In bond No. 1, series 1, for payment. The bond not being offered, the board of commission ers at the present session ordered the treasurer upon receipt of an indemnifying bond by Mr. Hensley, to pay the amount of the bond with accrued interest It was a matter of simple justice and the editor of the Democrat rejoices. that occurred between Robert and Aggie Larkln.

The vote for queen closed yesterday at 1 o'clock 'and Miss Mahaney, who has kept the lead every day since she was nominated, won by 2,500 votes. She is stenographer at the Dold Packing House, where her popularity made her sure of winning from the start. She was elected by a majority of nearly 1,600 votes over all the other candidates. The contest has been spirited and brought the committee over $500. Sliss Mahaney will be crowned Friday night at the Audi torium. The grand concert promises to be the most novel event of the season, and, judging from present indications, the au-, ditorium will be filled by a tremendous and enthusiastic audience. It has been found that the auditorium stage is not Jarge enough to accommodate the large chorus and orchestra, so it will be espe cially enlarged to give plenty of space for the .elaborate coronation ceremony. Mrs. Ada Smith Fullerton, dramatic so prano from Chicago, has been engaged as one of the soloists. Mrs. Fullerton is ono of the most comic opera singers in the west, and is to star next season with the famous Bostonian Opera company. She will be on the program for two solo num bers besides singing the obligato part to "EI Capitan," in connection with the chorus and orchestra. Mrs, Fullerton's style and stage manner always captivates her audiences. No one should miss hear ing her. Mrs. "W. F. Heacock, St. Joseph's most (popular contralto, has also been! engaged. Mrs. Heacock is the contralto at the First Christian church of St. Joseph, Mo., and has a voice the range and quality of which are seldom found and never ex celled. She will appear in a solo and will also ping the low alto parts in the 3adies' quartette, which will sing Dudley Buck's beautiful arrangement of the old Scotch ballad, "Annie Laurie." Mr. Jack Shields, Wichita's old time tenor, is back again and will sing "All Hail the Pure and Simple Cottage," from Faust. This Js "one of the greatest of all the creations for tenors. Mr. Shields is said to bo at his best in this number, and has received very flattering press notices from all over the country regarding it. Ralph Dunbar, the director and solo 'cellist, needs no introduction to Wichita people. Ho was known here, and Wichita people are always glad to hear of his success abroad, and to welcome him homo whenever he sees fit to visit Wichita, He Js on the program for two 'cello solos be sides directing the chorus and orchestra. The queen and her court are rehearsing daily the coronation ceremony. The court consists of queen, master of ceremonies, prime minister, maids of honor and pages, all dressed in the royal costumes. Just the second the ceremony is over the chorua breaks into Sousa's soul-stirring Stars and Stripes. Flags will be waved, calcium lights will be thrown on the scene and everything which will add to Its effectiveness will be done. The audi ence may expect one of the grandest climaxes that they have ever witnessed. In order that the price would be within the reach of all, the committee decided "to make the admission 23 and 50 cents, which as very low considering the enor mous expense of bringing the soloists, Jthe costuming and calcium effects for the coronation scene. The 50 cent seats will foe all of those in the middle of the first floor. Those on the sides and the entire balcony will be sold for 23 cents.

It was an ovation every jump of the wav from Ivansas City to Chicago. Peoria. Spring field Des Moines, Omaha and all the larger northwest cities of the countrv. The train was written ur and photo graphed for hundreds of columns, every Jine of which was worth a thousand dol lars to Oklahoma. The Farmers' Voice of Chicago gave a bjUf page illustration of the train and i write up in which the following compliment was paid to Mr. Dixon and the exhibit enterprise: "A list of the exhibits would include about all of the agricultural products known to civilization, but there are speci mens here whose epnal it would be diffi- j cult to find elsewhere. The display of melons begins with a watermelon that weighs eightv pounds and would make the folk in South Africa show their teeth in delight, and the big squash tipped the beam at 101 pounds. There were speci mens of Persian white muskmalone be yond comparison,, and a castor-bean grower who never had seen Oklahoma de clared the specimens he saw there ex ceeded his wildest dreams of what a cas tor bean might do in the way of develop ment.

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are a discov ery of Igreat value to the medical profes sion and the public. They are an unfail ing specific in all cases of dyspepsia and disordered digestion. Almost everybody's digestion is disor dered more or less, and the commonest thing they do for' it is to take eome one of the many so-called blood purifiers, twh!ch in many cases are merely strong cathartics. Such things are not needed. If the organs are in a clogged condition, they need only a little help and they will right themselves. Cathartics irritate the sensitive linings of the stomach and bow els and often do more harm than good. Purging is not What Is needed. The thing to do is to put the food in condi tion to be readily digested and assimi lated. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do this perfectly. They partly digest what is eaten and give the stomach just the help it needs. They stimulate the secretion and excretion of the digestive fluids and relieve the congested condition of the glands and membranes. They put the whole digestive system in condition to do Its work. When that is done, you need take no more tablets, unless you eat what does not agree with you. Then take one, or two tablets give them needed help, and you will have no trouble. It's a common sense medicine and a common sense treatment and it will cure every time. Not only cure the disease, but cure the cause. Goes about it in a per fectly sensible and scientific way. Wo have testimonials enough to fill a book, but we don't publish many of them. However Mrs. E. M. Faith of Byrds Creek, Wis., says: I have taken all the Tablets I got of you and they have done their work well In my case, for I feel like a different person altogether. I don't doubt if I had not got them I should have been at rest by this time. H. E. Willard, Onslow, la., says: Mr. White of Canton, was telling me of your Dyspepsia Tablets curing him of dyspep sia, from which he had suffered for eight years. As I am a sufferer myself, I wish you to send me a package by return mail. Phil. JSrooks, Detroit, Mich., says: Tour dyspepsia cure has worked wonders in my case. I suffered for years from dyspepsia but am now entirely cured and enjoy life as I never have before. I gladly recommend them. It will cost EOc to find out just how much Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will help you. Try them that's the best way to de cide. All drjiggists sell them.

IBS, MS CASE Against Emil Werner Argued in Appellate Court LEGAL POINTS INVOLVED Old Soldier Testing the Valid ity, of State Law. The October term of the appellate court opened yesterday with Judges Dennison, Schoonover and Milton in their chairs. The session will coninue until Friday, about fifty cases having been assigned for this term. A very interesting case Involving some fine technical discriminations between the legal meaning of character and repu tation, was argued yesterday. It is the old case of Rosalie "Voegli against Emil Werner of this city. In 1S93, during the palmy days of the "Merchants' Protective association," Werner claimed to have sold the plaintiff a stove which she re fused to pay for, and Werner had her name placed on the so-called "black list," as a person unworthy of credit. She then sued Werner for libel and in 1S95 obtained Judgment against Werner in the district court for 5400 and costs, from which judg ment Werner appealed. The case was ably argued by Colonel Dyer for Werner and Otto Eckstein for Mrs. Voegli, the contention of counsel for Werner being that the publication was a privileged communication, the object of the organization being to protect its members and regulate credit. Mr. Eck stein contended, however, that this was not its primary object, but that it was used solely for tho purpose of forcing payment of bad debts, the "black list" being the pillory or punishment threat ened and to be endured if they do not pay, and the conduct of its members, particularly Werner, takes it out of the category of the legitimate commercial agencies. Its methods were condemned in no uncertain manner, and as meriting no kind treatment at the hands of any court. Tho principal contention in the case, however, appeared to be the elements of damage, the jury having split the amount up into the six different items of reputation, character, credit, humiliation, mental anguish and ridicule, for all of which they allowed a small sum. Wer ner's counsel claimed that character was embraced In the allowance for damage to reputation and that she being a married woman and not in business, there could be no damage to credit, while Mr. Eck stein in a very unique argument, en deavored to show that credit and char acter were elements that make reputa tion. The domain of speculative sophistry is herein entered into and counsel Insist ed that tho eminent counsel for Werner was following in the footsteps of tho logician who "Could a hair divide be twixt the north and northwest side." The court is also called upon to say whether a married woman ought or should have a credit, Werner's counsel insisting that she could not be injured, not being engaged in any business, coun sel urging that some of the married fra ternity would not call it a violent pre sumption or soft impeachment from the amount of patronage of the retail stores of Wichita. As the Jury allowed separate damages for humiliation, mental anguish and ridi cule, another nice question arises wheth er all three are not embraced In tne cne element of mental feelings or are sepa rate and distinct The injuries which the calumlnator Inflicts, plaintiff says, acting always Immediately upon the mental sen sibilities of the victim. This opens up an other field of speculation and technical computation of damages for the court to decide, as It has been frequently held that mere Injuries to the feelings or imagina tion are not capable of measurement, in damages, when standing alone, but may be only when based and connected with a substantial right as injury to reputation in this case as the jury placed an estimatp upon each of those elements, the question is how the same was meas ured and what they really intended. As this is the first case of black listing to come to the higher courts in Kansas, the decision of the court will be watched with interest By the bar, and especially the old members of the organization, which, however, went out of existence soon after the trial of thist case. Messrs. Dyer Davis are attorneys for Werner and Auams Adams and Otto Eckstein for Mrs. Voegli. Another case that is of much interest to old soldiers and involving the consti tutionality of the law giving to old sol diers the preference in all appointments to public service in the state, was called and argued before the court. D. M. Thompson is riuing the city of Emporia and others for possession of the office of assistant engineer of the city water works, claiming that he should have had the appointment from the city council under the law referred to. He is an old soldier of the civil war, having served his country well, while the successful candi date for the position had never seen army service. Mr. Thompson claims that he is equally qualified, while the city's answer to his petition states, that he was not, qualified, and therefore the state law did not apply to him. The case was decided against Mr. Thompson on a demurrer in the district court of Lyon county, and was then appealed. In the argument be fore the court yesterday Judge Buckner, representing Mr. Thompson, made one of the finest pleas ever heard in the appel late court room. It was eloquent and logical, full of tender sentiment for the men who stood on the firing line in de fense of their country, and applauding sentiments for the loyal state which had by Its liberal laws Intended to reward the old soldier. The case was submitted to the judges on briefs filed by .both defen dants and plaintiffs. A great deal of in terest will be taken in their opinion. Other cases were disposed of as follows: W. L.

STORY OF A SLAVE To be bound hand and foot for years by the chains of disease is the worst form of slavery. George D. Williams, of Manchester, Mich., tells how such a slave was made free. He says: "My wife has been so helpless for five years that she could not turn over in bed alone. After using two bottles of Electric Bitters she la wonderfully improved and able to do her ownWork." This supreme remedy for female diseases quickly cures nervous ness, sleeplessness, melancholy, headache, backache, fainting and dizzy spells. This miracle working medicine is a godsend to weak, sickly, run down people. Every bottle guaranteed- Only 50 cents. Sold by G. Gearing, druggist. CITY IN BP.1EF.

The foreign mission meeting of the Friends' meeting was opened by Martilla Cox of western yearly meeting. Mida Lawrence of Indiana, who is on her way to Alaska to devote ,all of her time, not wholly required for making a living, to mission work, was (Introduced and said her only desire in going was to "do whatever He would have her do." A vote of sympathy expressed by rising brought the audience to its feet and was followed by two friends proposing to show metallic sympathy for her, and a fund of J43.Hi was raised in a few minutes. A very expressive duct was sung en titled "Jesus, I'll Go Through With Thee" by Willis R. Hotchkiss and Arthur Chill son, the two young men enroute to Af rica. Gilbert Bowles! addressed the meeting on "The Open World." The Christian work of the apostolic age was carried Into but one-fourth of ihe then known world. Like the mustard seed, by the year 325 it had expanded till it was the religion of the Roman world. Second, from the fourth to eighth centuries we have the work of St. Patrick and St. Augustine, who carried the gospel to Ireland and England. Third, the reformation. Fourth, from 17&2 to now. The world is open to travel and residence excepting only the capjtal of Thibet and Mecca, the center of Mohammedanism. If we could read the story of the open ing of the world, we would see first the open Bible. We would read of prayers and tears and also of self sacrifice, like Miss IRankin going into Mexico, and Ad (omram Judson in 3urmah.. We Would read also the story of love. JJut this story is the appeal of the open worTa. We ought to study these 'things. jThls open world calls for men and money. "Money is my self." The work requires haste. These people are all our brothers. Willis R. Hotchkiss, returned mission ary from Africa, emphasized the need of the church studying the world's need of God. We know far more about the pro gress of the United States in the Philip pines and Cuba than of the progress of God's kingdom on earth. We ought to study God's way of leveling obstacles be fore the progress of his servants. There is no more thrilling or safer literature. Consecration Is 'a practical thing. Study the question till His unwearied passion takes hold of your heart. How shall they hear without a preacher? President Stanley spoke tof the mission aries gone out from Kansas to Falestijie, Jamaica, Japan, Mexico, Alaska and in vited a season of united prayer in behalf of Gurney Bmford and wife who today sail from 'Vancouver as missionaries bound for Japan. A collection to aid the Alaska mission work was taken to the amount of $100.83. The collection taken yesterday for use of evangelistic board amounted to $1S7.72. Epistles were read from Indiana, west ern California, London and New Tork yearly meetings.
