10 CENTS A WEEK. NIGHT EDITION. TOPEKA, KANSAS, MONDAY EVENING. JUNE 11, 1894, TWENTY-SECOND YEAR. HOT PLASTMSA1LING. The Governor's Itenomination Not AbsolutelyAssured. Feelinj in Favor of "One Term" is Developing. DON'T .LIKE CHASE Many of the Delegates Object to the Warden, "Who Has Too Much Influence With the Governor. SUFF11AGE PROSPECTS. Annie Dijrs Says She Feels More Than Hopeful That It Will Go Into the Platform. Governor L. D. Lewelling may be re nominated by the Populist state conven tion that meets tomorrow, but the pros pects for his renomination are not as brig-tit as they were a few days ago. The administration friends have since the delegates to the conventi began arriving in the city, been "he lping" on thoir prophecy of the nomination of Lewelling on the first ballot, and now eay he will be renominated on the first ballot unless an agreement is made for his withdrawal as a candidate. There is a determination among Gov ernor Lewelling's friends to shut off John G. Otis, IN'oah Allen, W. F. Right mire and Cyrus Corning, although it is freely admitted that there is more oppo sition to the renomination of the old ticket than had boen expected, and dele gntes who were heretofore considered administration men, are today shouting fur "one term candidates." The principal cause in this change in sentiment is admitted to be the recent peniteutiary scandal which Governor Lewelling has ignored, instead of order ing an investigation. A delegate who has been pronounced for the renomination of Lewelling, said today: J am a friend of Governor Le welling, but I am opposed to the dicta torship of Dick Chase. Governor Lew elling made a mistake when he allowed Chase to run the penitentiary to suit himself. .There is no use in talking about Lewelling's getting the nomina tion again without a tight, but Cy. Corn ing and his class of kickers will not be able to claim any of the glory for the change." The delegates to the convention are slow in arriving for the reason that the reduced railroad rates did not go into ef fect until today and the delegates from the western part of the state will not ar rive until tonight and tomorrow morn ing. it is announced that the administration wing of the party has agreed upon W. L. Brown, of Kingman, secretary of the state senate, as temporary chairman, but this may be changed when the western delegates get here and have their say. Tonight there will be three meetings in progress to which delegates to the conventivm will have their attention directed. At Representative hall the state officers will give a reception to the delegates and give everybody an oppor tunity to shake hands with Governor Lewelling and the other officials who want renomiuations. At Hamilton h;ill the suffragists, Mrs. Annie L. Diggs. Mrs. Catt and others will tell the delegates why they should put a sullrage plank in the platform. At Trades and Labor Assembly hall from 2 o'clock this afternoon until the convention adjourns there will be an anti-administration caucus. At 4 o'clock this afternoon and at 8 o'clock this evening the meeting at Trades Assembly hall will be open to the public, and speeches will be made in which reasons will be given why the present administration should not be re nominated. This meeting is conducted by Noah Allen, V. R. Rightmire, John G. Otis and their followers. OIUECTIOXS TO LEVTELLIXa. rr.t L. Ilailey feays the Popolltti Kted a New Ticket. Fred I Bailey, the well known Popu list, who, as chairman of the SeventU dis trict congressional committee, success fully managed Jerry Simpson's campaign two years ago, is here to attend the Pop ulist state convention, which convenes tomorrow. Mr. Bailey is now publishing the Okla homa Representative at Guthrie. Okla homa, where he is holding a government po&ition in the land office, but he still re tains his political residence in Kansas, and ia here for business with the dele gates to the convention. He said: "It is possible that Governor Lewelling will be nominated, aud I am inclined to think he would be were it not for the fact that there is a strong feeling that we can win easier by nominating an entire new state ticket. The Republicans nominated a good ticket and put up a platform that any speaker can talk on, and we need to put our best foot forward." Mr. Bailey is still chairman of Jerry Simpson's committee, although details of the present campaign will be attended to by others. He says-Jerry is expected to stump his district himself, if possible, and it is now understood he is gaining in health rapidly. WAST TO IlKX IT DOW X. The A ntl-Administration I'eople Iaane a FroamntiiuMato. This afternoon a proclamation was is sued by the Anti-Fusion People's Party League giving reasons why the present otBceis should not be given a second term. This proclamation was signed by John G. Otis as president and Ed Corn ing as secretary and was distributed among the delegates at the different depots as they arrived. This proclamation ends with the fol lowing demands: "We demand that the convention shall declare itself against fusion, fusion methods, fusion fixers and adhere strictly to the principles of the Omaha platform. We protest against the policy ot the ad ministration of appointing Democrats and Republicans to office where equally good men may be obtained from the People's party "We protest against the fostering care which the administration is giving to the whisky power which enables in to run joints, gambling and disorderly houses in violation of law. W e aver that the ad ministration has completely surrendered to the whisky power and is intent on do ing its bidding to please Democracy and get the slum vote. "We demand that the conven tion in making a state ticket, give to the people a new deal, choosing men who have not been, or who are not now, in favor of fusion and machine politics, men who are Populists from principle and who scorn to sit in council with one wing of plutocracy pretending to plan a campaign which shall defeat the other wing of plutocracy, and further, we demand that the same care be exercised and the same rule be applied, in selecting a state committee. Upon no other consideration can we pledge to the party our support. "We demand that the convention so far consider the true aims and objects of the People's party in building a higher and better civ ilization as to incorporate in its plat form planks in favor of the suppression of the liquor traffic and suffrage amend ment, and in choosing candidates in har mony therewith. "We believe in making the home with all its.measureless interests paramount. Party building along any other line is a snare, a fraud and a delusion." THE JOINTS WILL SHUT UP. If Populists Wiiul to Drink lliir They Must Join a Clab. The Populists who come to Topeka to attend the convention this week will not be allowed the same liberties in the mat ter of clubs and beer that were enjoyed by their Republican brothers last week. Then the delegates entered and left the clubs at will, as many as 20 to 25 sometimes going to one joint at a time. Now, however. Captain Gish has given orders that the clubs shall ad mit none but their own members, "and if any of the Populist delegates want beer they must go through the formality of joining the club, which also has an ex pense of $1 attached. Gish said to a Joiksal reporter today regarding this order: "The reason we did not close up the clubs when the Republicans were here was because a howl would have gone up that it was done for political effect. We make this ruling" now because we "must draw the line somewhere, and we can't have the performance of last week repeated. Last week twenty or twenty-five men would walk boldly into a club at once. That won't do. If the delegates want beer at the clubs they must join like other peo ple. I have assurances that this order will be enforced." "ADVOCATE" FOR LEWELLING. Bat Dr. McLallin Personally Does Not Endorse the Administration. The Advocate came out squarely today for the renomination of Governor Lewel ling, and Advocate head-quarters were opened on the fourth floor of the Columbian building with Governor Lewelling's photograph tacked to the sign announcing the headquarters. The fact that the paper is for the renomina tion of the present administration does not, however, change the attitude of Dr. S. McLallin. Dr. McLallin writes the editorials for the Advocate, but individually he is opposed to the present state house circle, and in party caucuses his voice is against the renom ination of Lewelling. rotate Printer K. IL Snow has opened headquarters at the Populist league rooms on East Eighth street, where all the delegates are asked to register and the administration endeavors to influ ence them iuto standing by Lewelling. ANNIE DIGGS CONFIDENT That Woman Suffrage is Going Into the Platform. There is every indication that the Pop ulists who are opposed to woman suffrage being put in the state platform are afraid to say so and that it will be put in. A Journal reporter asked Senator Leedy if he is in favor of a suffrage plank. "Well well well I don't think that is a fair question," said he hesi tatingly, "but I really have no opinion at alL" That is the sentiment of the opposi tion. They won't say any thing and if they do they take particular pains to re quest that they shall not be quoted. Mrs. Annie Diggs is on baud and takes particular pains to meet as many delegates as possible. She wants suf frage mentioned in the platform and thinks it will be. "What do you think will be the result of the refusal of the Republicans to en dorse suffrage?" asked a reporter. "It will be the sorriest day of their lives, for we are just going to trounce the lives out of them." And Mrs. Diggs stamped her small foot as if she could whip all the men in the Republican party by herself. "Will the Populists put a suffrage plank in their platform?" "We expect them to do it," replied Mrs. Diggs, with emphasis. "It hasn't been a foregone conclusion with our people as it was with the Republicans. The Republicans had it settled long be fore the convention met. This is abso lutely a convention of the people and the people are going to rule." "I have a letter from a prominent Pop ulist," and sue fished into her hand satchel and produced it, "who says that our party can stand anything but cowar diae. We will ask for favorable men tion of the amendment in the platform, if they do not wish to give us a plank." "Don't you see," said Mrs. Diggs with enthusiasm, "what an immense advant age it will be to the party if the? take a favorable stand on the question. We will command the respect of the people who are disgusted with the cowardice of the Republican party which made an open bid for the German league vote, in stead of the influence of their own loyal Republican women. "If the Populists do not favor suffrage in their platform the effect will be the same and many members of the People's party will be disgusted with the coward ice of the party. I know there ia a large sized revolt in the Republican party against the actien of the convention. "WelL I did have something to say after all," said Mrs. Diggs, "and now that I think about it I have something else to say. It is this: "There has been room for honest differ ence of opinion among suffragists as to the wisdom of asking the Populists to endorse the amendment in face of the Republicans refasing, but since witness ing Major Morrill's apologetic attitude and hearing him plead his suffrage re cord in extenuation of the party blunder in refusing to endorse it, it is evident that if the Populists give the endorse ment the Republican party refuse, Re publican speakers during the entire campaign will be on the defensive and give more earnest advocacy to the suffrage cause than if they had put it into their platform. They will be forced to this position, and instead of the campaign of silence which we feared, the reverse- will be true; while Populists will have the immense advantage, of being able to ridicule the Republicans for their fatal mistake. Thua the Republicans will have bid in vain for the German league and liquor vote. Their apologetic ros trum utterances will more than neutral ize the abject surrender of their plat form. "Now, Mr. Hoffman, listen to tpia and see if you endorse it", said Mrs. Diggs, turning to C. B. Hoffman, of Enterprise, one of the prominent Populists of the state. Mr. Hoffman listened to the read ing of it, and said he endorsed every word of it. fubbeck"aTandidate. lie Is Coming: to the Front for Percy Daniel's Place. Whether Governor Lewelling is re nominated or not it is now conceded that the "one term" idea will apply to the lieutenant governorship, at least this year. Percy Daniels a few days ago delivered his ultimatum, and said he would leave the party unless his property tax idea was adopted by the Populists. The Pop ulist is yet to be found who is in favor of adopting Daniels' property tax idea, and two strong candidates for the nomination for lieutenant governor have already de veloped. The stronger of these two seems to be D. I. Furbeck, of Shawnee county, who is no doubt the favorite with the Lewelling faction.. Furbeck was former-ly-a Santa Fe conductor anit has since been a farmer, and he has lately moved to town and is now living at Lowinan Hill. Furbeck is expected to catch the rail road as well as the farmer votes. -The,' other candidate ia D. J. Cole of Reno cjunty, who is a farmer, and he will re ceive the support of the delegates from the western part of the state. WHERE STANDS ST. JOHN lielle vetl That He Will Announce Him self as a Populist. There is much interest among the dele gates from the Second congressional dis trict in the attitude of ex-Governor John P. St. John. Major E. B. Gill, an ex-confederate sol dier who wears a wooden leg, and who is chairman of the Johnson county dele gation, every member of which except himself is an ex-union soldier, said to a Journal reporter today: "Gov. St. John has freely expressed himself as believing in the doctrines of the People's party, and he said to me that the People's party platform only lacked two planks which he regarded as paramount. These planks are prohibition and suffrage. Gov. St. John will not, however, take a nomina tion for any office. "I would not be surprised if Governor St. John would announce himself as a Populist should our convention adopt suffrage and prohibition planks in its platform. The Prohibition state conven tion, which is called for tomorrow at Em poria, will not, so I am informed, take any action as to its candidates until it hears from Jhis convention." OSBOKN WANTS IT. He Would Take the Secretaryship of State If He Could Get It. Secretary of State Osborn is hedging again and this time he is stepping on the toes of his own crowd. He says he never said he would not accept the renomina tion for secretary of state if it were tendered him. J. W. Amos of Smith county, who is the most prominently mentioned for Os born's place, says that Osborn told him he would not accept the nomination, and Frank Forrest the Populist orator, tells the same story about Osborn's declara tion and they are both indiguant at the stand taken by him today; namely, that he is not a candidate, but that he will ac cept the nomination if it is tendered him. G. C. CLEMENS FLOPS. He Will Fight the Combination On the State Ticket. "A sentiment is developing against Lewelling." said G. C Clemens today. "It doesn't come from these Topeka kickers this time; it Is from the fellows who vote and will have a hand in the convention. They are not opposed to Lewelling, but they can't swallow Dick Chase and that crowd. I am not against the governor, but I am fighting the com bination with all the power I can com mand." Clemens has heretofore been a worker for the administration. C. H. J. TAYLOR'S FLYING VISIT. Was Entertained Saturday Night and Left to Return Tomorrow. C. H. J. Taylor, the colored Democrat of national roputation, arrived in Topeka last evening at 6:30 and went away this morning. He was entertained by Will iam Eagleson and a dozen other mem bers of the colored Democratic club at 713 Quincy street, when he talked poli tics and other matters informally. Mr. Taylor will return to Topeka tomorrow again and remain through the Populist convention. He says, however, that he will be nothing more than an interested spectator. MAY SETTLE IT. The Coal Strike May Soon Come to an End, If the Conference at Columbus So Decides. OWNERS AND MINERS Discussing the Payment of a Uniform Scale. Disorder and Eioting in Many Places. Columbus, O., June 11. The joint committee on scale, composed of presi dents and miners, went into executive session at 9 o'clock this morning. John McBride said that the miners are not contending for a recognition of the min ers union, but a uniform scale. Before going into executive session as a joint committee, the miners held a pri vate conference of about an hour's dura tion. Some of the operators have said that they prefer to deal with organized rather than unorganized labor. More uniform results can be obtained. A failure to agree means, in their opinion, a resump tion of the strike at some inopportune time in the future. Col. W. P. Rend, who is very anxious to affect a settlement, submitted a propo sition on his own account to agree to a ecale of 69 cents for Pennsylvania and CO cents for Ohio, other territory in a fair proportion, the price to hold good until September 1, when the rate is to be in creased to 79 cents in western Pennsyl vania and other districts in proportion. The proposition was made to President McBride and the probabilities are that he will make a fair proposition to the scale committee. Several of the operators in a private way said they would agree to Col. Rend's plan. The statement wired from here that the strike has been settled with the ex ception of Illinois is not correct, but the agent of the Associated Press has infor mation to the effect that the conference will not adjourn until it is settled, and that in his judgment it will be on the basis outlined in his dispatches of today. AT CRIPPLJc: CREEK. Deputies Leave For Colorado Springs and All is Oulet. Cripple Creek, Colo., June 11. The deputies broke camp and started for Col orado Springs at 9 o'clock today, in ac cordance with the agreement between Gen. Brooks and Sheriff Bowers. The mines will now be reopened, and the militia will act as guards as long as pro tection is needed. The mine owners will pay $3 for eight hours work. GOV. WAIrE OBJECTS To the Militia Serving as Guards of the Gold Alines. Denver, June 11. The agreement made between Gen. Brooks and Sheriff Bowers at Cripple Creek, does not meet with Gov. Waite's approval in all respects. The governor today wired Adjutant General Tarsney that the troops must not be used as guards at the mines; that receipts must be given the miners of the arms taken from them, and that not more than twenty-five miners must be arrested. DYNAMITED. Railroad Bridge on the Kansas City, Bir mingham Memphis Blown Up. Birmingham, Ala., June 11. The big iron bridge on the Kansas City, Mem phis Birmingham at Carbon Hill was blown up with dynamite by the strikers early this morning. The explosion of the dynamite occured only a few moments befose the morning train reached the bridge. The sheriff goes to Carbon Hill to make arrests. Handled the !py Roughly. Cleveland, June 1L The striking miners along the Cleveland, Loraine Sc Wheeling railroad last night set fire to a wooden bridge at Midvale. The Massil lon miners have decided that coal trains should be held up and everything possi ble done to prevent fuel being sent to Cleveland. A spy in the employ of the railroad company was discovered by the strikers to be present at the meeting listening to what was being said. The miners at tacked the man and he only escaped af ter receiving some very rough handling. Only a Few Go to Work. Springfield, I1L, June 11. Col. Bayle has wired from Pana that only 71 out of 800 men went to work in the mines there today. The sheriff of Peoria county wires that the mines will attempt to work tomorrow. The adjutant general has sent him thirty rifles and ammunition for the use of the deputies. Tried to Blow Up the Bridge. Canton, June 11. An attempt was made late last night, it is believed by strikers, to blow up the Cleveland, Can ton fc Southern railroad bridge over the Tuscarawas river at Navarre. The bridge caught fire, but the flames were extin guished, and it is believed the bridge has not been seriously damaged. Striker Will Stay Six Months. Pana, Ills., June 11. The mob here is growing larger. Pope on whose farm the Springfield miners are in camp, says the invaders declare they will stay six months, if necessary to close the Pana mines. More troops arrived today. At 2 a. m., there was rapid firing near the center of the city. The mil'tia soon got in motion, but found nothing. English Miners Will Strike. London, June 11. The English com bination of coal owners have decided to make a general reduction of 10 per cent in the wages of miners. The latter are organizing to resist the cut. Oxford-Vale Contest. London, June 1L The Oxford-Yale contest has been fixed upon for July 16. TO UIIITELnBOR. Opening of the Conference of Labor Leaders Who Seek to Organize for Combined Action. NOTABLE MEN THERE. T. V. Powderly and Samuel Gompers Present. Sessions of the Conference Will Not Be Open. St. Louis, June 11. A conference of national officers of labor organizations assembled here today, called by the gen eral executive board of the Knights of Labor, with a view to bringing about unity of work among all labor organiza tions, and to report back to the next meetings of all such national bodies.

Terrible Denunciation of Stanford Iljr Congressman Geary of California. Washington, June 11. Before tha house committee on Pacific railroads to day, Representative Geary argued strong ly that the act creating the Central Pa cific road contemplated that the govern ment should take possession if there waa default in payments. "I do not know," said Mr. Geary, "why we should put poor old Coxey, who trod on three or four blades of grass, in jail and let go another criminal because of the enormity of his offense, who filched hundreds of millions and deify him be cause in his last moments he erected with his money and the people's money a uni versity. "We, of California," Mr. Geary con tinued, "are proud of that university, but ashamed of the motives that built it. We know that it was erected from mean ness and revenge, to destroy an other university because of the graduates that refused to make the founder a trustee. Would you wink at the crime through which that institution was erected. Ho respect for men, living nor dead should blind us into leaving monuments to criminals that should be monuments to people." Mrs. Lease for Concreii. Arrangements are being made for Mrs. Lease's arrival. She will be here to at tend the convention tomorrow. 8he will enter the race for congressman-at-large. The only opponent she fears, she says, is the present incumbent, W. A- Harris, but he has stated that he will not be in the race. One other candidate has appeared in the field. He is State Senator S. S. King of Cowley county. Mrs. Lease will use her influ ence to have a woman suffrage plank put in the platform. nratl Hard on rover. Washington, June 11.

About 8 o'clock yesterday morning a party of fifteen deputies, while approaching Bull Hill on their way from camp to this place, were fired on by twenty miners. The deputies, be ing unprepared for an attack, retreated without returning the fire. General Brooks called out enougrh. militia to surround the miners and ar rested them. No one was injured. Sheriff Bovvers denies that he has lost control of the deputies, and General Brooks denies having made any such statement. It was a false report that caused Governor Waite to order Gen eral Brooks to disarm the deputies. General- Brooks says his force may not be large enough to protect all the mining property about here. Should this prove to be the case he will press into service the deputies now on the ground. The cost of this strike to El Paso county has already reached SKiO.OOO, and is piling up at an estimated rate of 86,000 a day. FOUNDED WITH STONES. Wives of the Miners at. Sopis Almost Kill a Sleilcau Miner. Trinidad, Col., June 11. At the So pis mines yesterday a party of women, wives of the strikers, stationed them selves at the opening of the mine and attempted by throwing stones to pre vent the men from going to work. A Mexican miner was dumped in the mud and pounded with stones. A man was with them urging them on. He was placed under arrest, with two of the most vicious of the women, and lodged in jail. This ended the riot and there has been no trouble since. IN WEST VIRGINIA. The Situation Unchanged Governor McCorkle'i Views. Charleston. W. Va June 11. The situation in the disturbed district is still unchanged. Whatever coal trains are being moved it is accom plished with the aid of the militia. Governor McCorkle says that the trou ble is too deep seated to be settled by the show of force on the scene. He said that he had nine companies at Boggs Run and two more would be there by 8 o'clock to-night. He says the entire military force of the state will be used if necessary in moving coal in Ohio and Pennsylvania. DRIVEN AWAY MY HOBS.

'Bm Dalteax'a ttaraalna Identified by TOm Brother Viewed by Thousands: Aedhobe, I. T., June lL -Sheriff Howard, accompanied by Frank Fisher and Claude Lacy, citizens of Longview, Texas, arrived last night and viewed the remains of the dead bandit. They unhesitatingly pro nounced him to be the same man who took the leading part in the Long view bank robbery, and" say that he was the man who presented the note of introduction to the cashier. Charles Benjamin Dalton arrived on the early train yesterday morning from Kingfisher, Ok., and in the dead body at once recognized his wayward brother, BilL Tbia settles the fact in the minds of the incredulous that Bill Dalton now sleeps cold in death. United States Marshal Williams gave orders to his deputies to hand over" to Mrs. Dalton the pistol and all letters, also all the money found on his per son when killed, which was 8285. It is estimated that not less than 10,000 people have viewed the remains. The meeting between Charles Dal ton and Mrs. Dalton was very affect ing. Charles Dalton is a man six feet tall, weighs 185, has light hair and moustache, and a steely gray eye. He takes care of the mother and is a highly respectable citizen. He re fused to talk, but said that later he would prepare a statement for pub lication which will brush aside many published fabrications. The only de tire now of both he and Mrs. Dalton seems to be to get possession of the remains, so they can be sent to Cali fornia for burial. Houston Wallace, at whose house Dalton was killed, and who is now in jail here, was identified by J. T. Har ris of Duncan as the man who passed the unsigned Longview bank bills at that place where he purchased over $200 worth of supplies. Wallace has been on the scout for four years and he was formerlj a United States dep- utv marshal on the iorce here before that time. According to Mrs. Dalton, her hus band has never been under arrest, nor was he ever wounded, until the fatal single shot of Loss Hart ended his career. Deputy Stewart arrested Mrs. Dal ton on a process issued by the prose cuting attorney for the Eastern dis trict oi lexas, charging her with re ceiving stolen property. Between 835,000 and $50,000 will be paid by three states, two territories and the United fetates authorities to the nine officers who composed the posse when Dalton was killed. FLOOD AT ELDORADO. Walnut River Rises Twenty Feet in Four If our. Eldorado, Kan., June 11. The rain of Saturday night was the heaviest this county lias had for twenty-nve years,and as a consequence. the entire Walnut valley is entirely covered with water and considerable damage to crops andrproperty will result. The Walnut river commenced raising at 3 o'clock yesterday morning, and by 7 had raised twenty feet and was out of its banks. It was a mile and a half wide in this city. Several families were rescued in boats from Riverside, a suburban vil lage. It is thought no lives are lost. The Santa Fe and Missouri Pacific have suffered considerable, having several bridges and considerable track washed out. A train came within two miles of here on the Mis souri Pacific last evening and the passengers were then brought here in boats. The electric light, gas and waterworks are all under water. robbeiTdF masked mex. The Railroad Station and Express Office at Gibson, L r. Looted. Little Rock, Ark.. June 11. The railroad station and express office at Gibson, I. T.,were held up and robbed by two masked men about 11:30 last night. The exact amount of money secured by the robbers is not known, but it will probably aggregate a large amount, as it is thought the express packages stolen contained large sums, as a great deal of cash paid to the Cherokees has been shipped by the ex press from Fort Gibson. It is known that 5600 in cash was secured, $100 of which belonged to the Kansas and Arkansas Valley railroad. COXEY RELEASED. The Commander of the Commonweal Army and His Companions Free. Washington. June 11. Coxey, Browne and Christopher Columbus Jones were yesterday morning re leased from jail. They were met at the door of the jail by Oklahoma Sam, driving four horses attached to Coxey's phaeton. The four proceeded to the National hotel, where they shook hands with the clerk and a few friends who happened to be present. After spending a quarter of an hour in the hotel they started for the Coxey camp in Bladensburg. The Oregon Election. Portland, Ore., June 14.

Firemen Were Caught Under the Falling Walls. Kansas Citt, Mo., June 11. The largest and most destructive fire that has occurred in Kansas City for years broke out yesterday afternoon in the building of the Keystone Implement company, 1317 to 1321 West Thir teenth street. Before the flames could be subdued they had destroyed f30O,0OO worth of property. Five men were injured, two of them seriously. They were: James Donnelly, fireman, of hook and ladder No. 2; buried under a fall idg wall; removed to Sisters' hospital; may die. James P. Hope, colored, of 1325 West Thirteenth street; buried under a falling wall; will recover. William Randell, switchman in the employ of the Kansas City, St. Joseph Council Bluffs railway; at the city hospital; dangerously hurt. James Marvin of 809 Wyoming street, struck by falling bricks; wounds not serious. Patrick Ahern, fireman, hook and ladder company No. 1; cut by glass; not serious. The four-story brick building of the Keystone Implement company is a total loss, as is also the five-story brick warehouse of the Buford-George Manufacturing company adjoining. Two small dwellings were also de stroyed. The two warehouses were of equal size on the ground, each covering two lots, 72x120 feet. The Keystone build ing was the property of the company, and was valued at $30,000. It con tained a stock estimated at ST5.O0O. The Buford-George building be longed to Charles Francis Adams of Boston. It cost about $50,000. The company's stock is valued at 5150,000. The two dwellings destroyed were the property of the Keystone Imple ment company. They were worth perhaps $1,000. The total loss is accordingly not far from $306,000. The insurance amounts to only about 8220,000. The cause of the gre, and even the exact point at which it originated, are urjkuowtj. HE 1VAS BEJiT OX MURDER A Desperate Cherokee Character Kills Three People, One a Woman. Wagoner, I. T., June 11. Saturday afternoon there was a robbery and sensational tragedy enacted on the road between Fort Gibson and Tahlequah, where the big Chero kee payment is in progress. A stage load of passengers was some miles out from Tahlequah en route to Fort Gibson, the railroad station, when Levi Sanders, a desperate Cher okee character, who was on the front seat with the driver and was consid erably drunk, punched the driver in the side with his pistol and ordered him to hold up. He then made the passengers get out, and robbed them of about 870 and some jewelry. One man, a person from Texas, who declined to give his name, was shot through the breast because he had no money to give up. The wounded man is now in Fort Gibson in a critical condition, and may possi bly recover, though he is shot entire ly through the left lung. He was a fine-looking, well-dressed man. The robber then left, walking through the woods in the direction of Tahlequah. He soon found a man and an Indian boy herding some cattle. He began shooting at the boy and killed him. He secured the horse the boy was riding and when he again emerged into the road, he came upon two wagons containing two men and some women. He shot into one of them, killing Airs. Duncan, a lady who is connected with one of the best families of the Cherokee nation. Her son, Levi Duncan, was with her. He drew his pistol and began shooting at Sanders as also did the man who was in the other wagon, but he was getting away on his horse when young Duncan got a Winchester from the wagon and shot the horse. Sanders was then afoot and could not escape, and he was literally shot to pieces. He was sot through the body several times, through the head and through the loot.

WILL BE WOOL THIS WEEK Schedule of the Tariff Bill That Will Develop Important Debate. Washington, June li. It is expect ed on both sides of the senate cham ber the woolen schedule will be reached during the present week in the consideration of the tariff bill. This schedule will develop one of the most important debates connected with the bill. Next to the duty on sugar, free wool has attracted more attention than any other item in the bill, and there can be no doubt that many Republican senators will make speeches vigorously assailing the Democratic position, A Train Held Up In Philadelphia. Philadelphia, June 11. Four des perate thieves, armed with no other weapons save lumps of coal, held up a Reading railroad train within the city limits at high noon yesterday.

San Franciace, CaL Fork Versos Speosu The Question which is shaking England to its very foundation at present is wheth er the spoon shall be entirely banished from good society, and, if not, how far the fork shall be substituted for it. There are those who hunt their ice with a fork, which lets the melting margin drop through the prongs, and some stick their small trident into jelly at the risk of seeing the whole thing slip off like an amorphous, translucent, gold colored enake. The same with such compounds as custard pudding, creme renversee and the like, where it Is a feat of skill to skewer the separate morsels deftly and where a small sea of unutilised juice ia left on the plate. The monotonous use of the fork and craven fear of the vul garity lying in the spoon seem to us mere table snobbery. It is a well known English axiom that the fork is to be used in preference to the spoon when possible and convenient. The people who use it always when scarcely possible and decidedly incon venient are people so desperately afraid of not doing the right thing that they do the wrong out of very fear of Mrs. Grun dy. It is the same with the law of eat ing all soft meats with the fork only, ab juring the knife. On the one hand, you will see people courageously hewing with their knives at sweetbread, supreme de volaille and the like. On the other, the snobbish fine work themselves Into a fe ver with their forks against a cutlet and would not for the lives of them use a knife to cut with ease that which by main force and great discomfort they tear asunder with a fork.

STATE JOTTRXATi, MOXDAY EVENTN"Gr, JUNE 11 1891. 3 FEW fiEWJILLS. The Lonr Session of Congress Shows. Very Few Results In the Way of New Legisla tion Enacted. GOOD TIMES AIIEAD. A Big Revival of Business is Confidently Predicted. "Washington, D. C, June 11. Special. I am not worried much by the delay oi the senate," said Mr. McNagny of Indiana in a summary of prospects in his district, "for I think they will succeed in Retting the new tariff into operation just tn time for a tremendous revival of business. It will come about the turn of the season, as we say in Indiana, and will work well in my district. The Democrats there have re versed the usual process this year. They lost the municipal elections and have there fore harmonized early and none to work foi Js'ovember, while the Republicans have al ready quarreled over their successes. Ev erything is in good shape for a revival. The supply of coal is so nearly exhausted that when this strike is over the mines will run day and night for t,ix months. It will take all the coal miners in the United States till next Christmas to catch up with the de mand, and then, as has been so often stated, the shelves are bare of goods, and consump tive demand will force great activity. It is the fashion to say that the Democrats blun der at the critical time, but I am satisfied the Republicans have done it this year in delaying action on the tariff." Isidor Itajnert Speech. This sort of consolation is becoming quite common among the majority members, and even those who are sore over the financial measures find soldo relief in it. It is almost a pity that the bill to repeal the tax on state bank.jssues had to be side tracked, foi the debate cn it was both entertaining and Instructive, and it got better the longer it lasted. The speech of Isidor Rayner against state banks was particularly able, except the usual errors in history which are so common in the debates on finance, and the fact that his blows were telling was evidenced by the number of interruptions. Messrs. Iioatner, Bailey, Cox and Warner or? re all after him at one time, and no sooner would the chairman get them to sit dawn and the speaker utter a sentence or two when two or three more members would pop up and refuse to be silenced. The wit and humor of this running debate were very largely mingled with sarcasm, and it was evident that the state bank men felt the irritation due to the consciousness of a losing cause. Their best counting showed a majority of 30 against the repeal, and so they were quite willing to let the measure be side tracked for the present. Work of the Session Practically Done. I The calculations of the managers of the measures next in order varied greatly, but all admitted that the end of the session is postponed. For the Indian appropriation bill they allowed from two to five days, for the deficiency bill three to six days, and for the bill appropriating $200,000 to the inter national cotton exposition "of next year at Atlanta at least two days. These have the right of way, and the hope is still indulged that by the time they are done with or done for the tariff bill will come back from the senate. "It will be discussed with great liveliness," says Hon. John J. O'Neill, "but it will pass just the same. The opposition will be sporadic and not organized. The members will seek to emphasize their indi vidual opposition to certain features of it, but the bill will pass." Other members express a conviction that it will pass sub stantially as it comes from the senate, mem bers of the house being, as a rule, much more easer to get things done and get home than senators. .Many other measures, very many indeed. Will die for want of time. Prac tically, say the spider heads, the work of the session is done, its record is made, and it will go to the country with the ap propriation bills and the tariff bill, the re peal of the Sherman law and the federal election law as its record of work. This is about all, they say, t hat will really be done at the date of adjournment, which they now considerately name aa "some time in July." Bills Which Will Not Pass. This leaves out a great many measures as to which even their authors now give up fcope for this session and are not very en thusiastic for the next. There are all the agricultural bills, with antioption at the head of them; all the bills for irrigatingall creation out west; nearly all the measures from the judiciary committee and all that beautiful mess w hich comes in every year from the advocates of education, labor re form, temperance and so forth that vast fcerd of bills to make everybody virtuous and happy by isct of congress. With these must go the 13 or more bills to improve the currency in various ways, the lest known of which are Mr. Walker's somewhat elab orate bill, ilr. Cooper's bill permitting the taxation of greenbacks, Mr. Brookshire's lill for regulating money in general and Wr. Meyer's bill for coining the seigniorage on a plan that will obviate the objections set forth in the president's veto. All these, too, make but a small part of the many bills which must go over, though a few of them likely to exeite very little discussion may be slipped through. As to passing or even considering one in 50 cf the bills referred to the committee on war claims, congress never thinks of doing that. As a Republican member very wittily ex pressed it the other day when some ono chided him for voting to set aside the regu lar order (it was private bill day) and con tinue the discussion on state banks, "It is only a quest-iou between wildcat money and Id rebel claims anyhow." In this sentence is explained a great deal of the weariness the house has shown over these private bill days, and a kindred Bentiment accounts for that over the Friday night ses sions. At these last there have been at least CjO hours of discussion and more than twice as many angry altercations, to say nothing of hundreds of little spats and pungent personalities, and as a result of it all t litre have not been 10 bills made laws. In fact, it would not be safe to say without a minute examination of the senate journal that a single measure introduced at these Friday night sessions had yet become a law. It i worth noting also that, while a vast mass of business, and some little of it im portant, must go over to the short session, there is a very strong impression among the older members that there will be enough of entirely new business to consume all the time of that session not given to the regu lar anropriaticu bills. It is not easy to give all the reasons for this impression, but many of them are connected with our foreign relations. QUAY GROWS ANGRY. Accused, of Doing Work For m Street Railway Syndicate. Washington, June 1L Senator Quay created a slight diversion in the senate this morning, by rising to a question of privilege, and sending to the clerk's desk what he characterized as a "lying statement for which Senator Chandler is given as authority." It proved to be a Washington dispatch to a New York paper alleging that a Philadelphia syndicate of which Mr. Quay was the active agent, was seeking to get control of the surface roads of Washington through congressional leg islation. The dispatch stated that the scheme waa aa malodorous as the sugar trust scandal. Mr. Quay made a personal explanation after the clerk had read the article. The statements contained in it, he said, were absolutely false. The facts were, he said, that certain citizens of Philadelphia, of whom Thomas Dolan wae one (who the others were he knew not) had cor porate interests in certain railroads in the District of Columbia and were seek ing an enlargement of the ecope of their franchises; in what way he knew not. At the request of Mr. Dolan, he (Quay) had done for the Philadelphia gentlemen what he would do for any other citizen of Pennsylvania; he had introduced them to McMillan and Faulkner of the Dis trict of Columbia committee. At the request of Mr. Dolan he had not talked with either of those senators since. Last Friday, being informed that that bill effecting the interests of this corporation would be under considera tion in the house today he had asked some of the members of the delegation from Pennsylvania to bet present to help constitute a quorum. That was the whole of his connection with the matter. Mr. Quay said that in making this ex planation he had departed from his usual custom of treating with the silent con tempt the hundred thousand lies made up abont him, for two reasons; first, be cause the article was evidently written with the purpose of affecting legislation, and second, because Mr. Chandler had been given as authority for the state ments contained therein. Mr. Chandler made a statement, when Mr. Quay took his seat, to the effect that he heard of this syn dicate; had perhaps discussed the matter with newspaper men, but knew little about it. He had never heard of Mr. Dolan until this moment. Certainly he had made no remarks attributing mo tives or relations to any senator. Mr. Quay suggested with a broad smile that this newspaper fabrication be re ferred to the "scandal committee," of which Mr. Gray was chairman, and with easy-going senatorial way, there being no objection beyond a slight frown on Senator Lindsay's face, it was so re ferred.

The numerous candidates for county commissioner, opposing the incumbent, who appears to desire the office for life, have earned the gratitude of the Re publican masses by uniting on one man. Candidates for office are generally slow to yield their personal wishes and often each believes he is stronger than the other. But in the interest of good poli tics, with a commendable desire to place in nomination a strong man who will not be defeated at the polls, all the opposing candidates have generously united on T. P. Rodgera. The Journal endorses this action and hopes to see the movement ratified at the primaries next Saturday. Mr. Rodgers can be cheerfully voted for by all Repub licans who have the interest ef the coun ty as well as the party, in view. Ilr. Rodgers is an experienced business man and has always been a Republican. He comes of a strong Republican family, of good birth and associations. At the beginning of the war he enlisted as a private in the Forty-sixth Indiana Volunteer Infantry and served with distinction with that regiment on many hard fought fields, only receiving a scratch or two until the Vicksburg campaign, at which time he was severely wounded in the thigh, disabling him for awhile. He soon returned to his regi ment and served until the end of the war, being mustered out with the rank of first lieutenant. He came to Topeka in 186SJ, and with his brothers A. K. and A. T., opened a grocery business in which he was quite successful, continuing in the same for twelve years. He is proud of the fact that during all this time he was friendly to the working man. Many of the older Santa Fe men remember his kind deeds to them. "I never garnisheed a customer," says Mr. Rodgers. He stands high with all classes and has the qualifications necessary for the very important office of commis sioner. NEAR THE DANGER LINE. The Missouri River is Oolnr Much Dana afire Near Omaha.

When that gen tleman arrived at the door he found the young fellow standing on Jhe porch with one hand on his hip pocket. In reply toRev.Mr.Freed's question as to what he could do for him, the young fel low said he wanted him to go at once and ring the church bell. When asked what he wanted the bell rung for, he said that he desired to have the citizens all brought together, as the angels were going to visit Coffeyville and everybody ought to turn out and hear them sing. He was dually persuaded to leave the premises? and coming down the street he mounted his horse, rode north as far as the school house and then turned east Marshal Loving started after him, but failed to find him. IKKIGATION A REMEDY, x-Judg Botkin Sayi Western Kansas People Gat Discouraged. Abilene, June 11. ExJudge Botkin, whose connection with the Stevens county troubles gave him worldwide no toriety, spent most of the week in town. Speaking of western Kansas he said: "Things are fearfully dry out there and unless irrigation or rainmaking prove possible and practicable the country will be deserted. The people are moving out all the time and something must be done. It was chiefly because of this lack of prosperity that the troubles in which I figured came. "The people grew dissatisfied and dis couraged and took to shooting one an other and quarreling over the county seat location in order to make themselves happy again. Of course it failed, but that did not stop the hard times. Con sidering the frame of mind of the lead ers it was a wonder more were not kill ed." ONE FAKMER SHOOTS ANOTHER. Two Farmers Near Clrard Get Into a Fatal Altercation. Girard, June 11. W. H. Young, who resides on the McKay farm north of Brazilton, shot W. R. Weaver, also a farmer living near by. Young, accom panied by his son, immediately drove to town and gave himself up to the sheriff and is now in the couuty jail. Young gave the following account of the shooting: Young and his wife start ed to Walnut in a wagon and on the way met Weaver and his wife also in a wagon. Weaver had been talking about Young and Young hailed him about it. Words followed and Weaver gathered a club. Young told Weaver not to hit him or he would kill him. Weaver did strike him and he grabfced Weaver's whiskers and pulled out a handful. He then stepped back, pulled his revolver and shot Weaver. Young said he did not know whether he killed Weaver or not HELD UP AND BOBBED. A Doctor Near Independence Meats High wayxnen on Returning From a Visit. Independence, June 11. Doctor Till ison of Jefferson, a town southwest of here about (en miles, waa held up and robbed as he was returning from a visit to ex-Sherifl! Hester, who had been taken ill. When near the mouth of Spring creek, in a very dark place ih the timber, two men with revolvers compelled him to dismount and shell out The doctor had about $12 in his pocket3 which the fel lows secured. After robbing him one of the men placed his pistol to the doctor's breast, and said he had a notion to kill him anyhow, but concluded not to. It was so dark that the doctor would not be able to identify them. M. K. T. EXTENSION. Tbe Survey on the Bonthirtit Extension From Parsons Commenced. Parsons, June 11. The much-talked-of extension of the M., K. T. railroad southeast through the rich coal fields of Crawford county is no longer a conjec ture, but a certainty. Chief Engineer Cary A. Wilson of the M K. T. has received orders from headquarters to commence the survey from this city and today Col. Wilson will start a corps of men out over the pro posed line. The work, it is understood, will be pushed to speedy completion. One of the Daltoa Gang. Wichita, June 11.

In his possession were found two clippings frpm newspapers telling of the death of Bill Dalton. He had a roll of 1,500, which he was flashing during the day. The police think they have a man worth holding. Held by a Woman for the First Time. Parsons, June 11.

There's many a slip 'twixt the jocli and the whip. There is as ranch difference in horses as in anybody. It is the "purse proud" meetings that draw the horses that draw the people that fill the grand stand. Pay a reasonable price to secure the right stallion and thus prove yourself at any rate deserving of success. "The best is none too good." Such should be the motto of every owner oi a mare when looking for a sire to breed to. Do not turn the colts out to grass too early, and it is a good plan to feed them a little grain for awhile after youfco turn them loose. Few horsemen will take defeat in good grace when they believe that they were defeated through a blundering or a de signedly unjust decision. The saying that "there are two quarts of oats in the currycomb and four in the brush" evidences a well established belief in the efficacy of grooming.' Buy a straight horse from a straight man at a straight price, which will ba a straight transaction, and come pretty near giving straight results all round. If your stock is of good temper, the blood of the Arab will make them still more kind and intelligent. If bad tem pered, he will make devils of them, says Hark Comstock. Turf, Field and Farm. THE JEWELER'S WINDOW. A new spoon has an Egyptian design of lotus leaves on the handle. Mucilage bottles and perfume bottles seem to vie with one another in new and attractive forms. An aquamarine with an antique head in high relief was set in a frame of ruby spinels and olivines connected by small diamonds. This was a work of art. New white morocco purses and card cases have fiat borders of gold or silvei gilt, not ornamented, but highly bur nished. These are marvelously elegant and quiet. Jewelers of romantic fancy provide deep petaled flowers which inclose lit tle white ring boxes for the presentation of jewels. These floral emblems are chiefly used over the footlights. Fancy pencils for the watch chain seem from their frequency to be much sought after. Some of them are very ingenious, the pencil running through pigs, dogs, monkeys and other animals. Jewelers' Circular Tbe Man Who Knows It All. He bears within his massive girth the meat and essence of all worth. The stars round him revolve; the sky rests on his mighty shoulders higb. And so he walks, erect and grand, the solar system in his hand, and matched with him the sun looks small, the mighty man who knows it all! Then let the sun go out at noon and throw a towel o'er the moon, and let the stars remote and high drop, like loose but tons, from the sky and send to Night's Plutonian shores your selectmen and sophomores, but spare him for the good of all, the lOjighty man who knows it all! Ah, when he dies, will wisdom dio, the sun of knowledge leave our sky, and we'll be left in dark and doubt, like Moses when the light went out! Oh. leave us not in darkness blind, thou luminary of man kind, through dark blind ways to grope and fall, oh, wondrous man who knows it all! Give to the vulture and the shark your statesmen and your men of mark; give to the beasts who know no pity the members of your school committee. Let bear and lion do their work upon your learned city clerk. Spare not the mighty and obese and portly justice of the peace, but save, oh, save, we humbly call, the wondrous man who knows it all! With him all truth, all lore begins; om niscience and this man are twins. All wis dom's watermains outspread from the main cistern of his head, and should this mighty cistern burst then all the schools would die of thirst. So spare, kind fate, we humbly call, this wondrous man who knows it all! New York World. Wi mi in a; si Case. Mr. Sergeant Wilkins once defended a breach of promise case for a. singularly ugly little man, which he told tho defend ant, after reading his brief," must bo "bounced" through. And the sergeant did bounce it through in a truly remarka ble manner. "Gentlemen of the jury," he said at the close of a most eloquent speech, "you have heard the evidence for the plaintiff, and, gentlemen of the jury, you have seen and have admired that most bewitching plaintiff herself. Gentlemen, do you believe that this enchanting, this fascinating, this captivating, this accom plished lady would for one moment favor the advances or listen with anything save scorn and indignation to the amorous protestations of the wretched and repul sive homunculus, the deformed and degrad ed defendant?" His client looked up from the well of the court and piteously murmured: ''Mr. Sergeant Wilkins! Oh, Mr. Sergeant Wil kins!" "Silence, sir," replied the sergeant in a wrathful undertone. "Gentlemen," he continued, bringing his fist down heavily on the desk before him, "do you think that this lovely lady, this fair and smiling creature, would ever have permitted an offer of marriage to be made to her by this miserable atom of humanity, this stunted creature, who would have to stand on a sheet of note paper to look over twopence V The jury at once gave a verdict for the defendant. -Argonaut.

Judge Chetlaia is not sittiug in the criminal court, and the case came before Judge Payne. I When the continuance agreed on was submitted to him he refused to enter the order, saying he knew of no reason why a continuance should be granted. The matter went over temporarily. Prendergast was brought Into court during the proceedings aod insisted on making a speech. "I am the defend ant," he said, "and I want no continu ance. I want no delay.

Even though Bill Dal ton Is ia his coffin, it would be a good plan to shoot through it sevoral times just to make sure. Boss Choker has gone to Europe but the evil he has done was left behind on account of the small capacity of the vessel. The sentimental historian will proba bly come forward now and relatte that Bill Dalton was a "good husband and kind father." The little town of Hartford, Lyon county, has had another prize fight, and see ma to be making a determined effort to be aa tough as Leavenworth. Now that the Cripple Creek trouble Is settled, Governor Walte will lead a rest leas, unhappy Ufa until trouble breaks out some place else in the state. Kelly's army is to land next at Padu cah, Kentucky. If his army accepts largely of Kentucky hospitality they may yet become followers of Keeley. It may have been finicky ia Judge Ilorton of Chicago to refuse to sit on the same platform with Governor Alt gelA, but it showed a wholesome self respect. The Missouri river in Montana is rising and Atchison correspondents are delighted to think they will soon be able to send out word that East Atchison has fallen into the river again. Spain owes this country 15,000,000 pesetas, according to a recent dispatch, bat it probably won't do this government any more good than if it were Colonel Breckinridge's creditor for $15,000. Governor Lkwellino's butter and egg business appears to be sound, but needs watching. The governor nesd not worry long; after January he will be able to give it his undivided attention. The last official act of Governor Hum phrey has just taken effect. It is to be hoped that all of Governor Lewelling's official deeds will end promptly with his retirement from office next January. When Kansas Republicans see how popular and strong tie cause of silver Las become even in the east and middle states, they may regret that they did not take a bold manly stand on that issue in a section that always has been, and ought to be, friendly to it. Jcdgb IIorton of Chicago says Gov ernor Altgeld is an anarchist and he will therefore not sit on the same platform with him at the Northwestern university commencement. Perhaps'after all it is only considerations of personal safety that make the judge decline. It could hardly be expected that the Populist police would rail the joints and clubs until after the Populist state con vention. If they allowed the Republi cans the free use of them, they argue that it would not-only be disloyal, but unjust discrimination to prevent their own party brethren from wetting their parched throats. Tee Osage Populist county convention at Lyndon condemned severely Congress man Curtis for introducing a bill to ap propriate $400,000 for the army, believ ing it was Charles Curtis of the Fourth district. Now it Is declared that it was not Charles Curtis, but Congressman Cur tis of New York, and the Populists had all their fuss for nothing.

Professor Charles D. Walcott, the new director of the United States geological survey, came originally from Utica, N.

He was appointed on the national survey July 1, 1879, as assistant geolo gist and ha3 risen by hard -work to the place of chief. I found him in the some what cramped quarters of the survey near the Ebbitt House on F street, and all around him were varied and curious proofs that this was the resort of "rock sharps." There are specimens of all the stones and minerals in almost ev ery section of the country; there are numerous maps showing the surface of the earth and rocks and the supposed waters nhder the earth; there are sci entific instruments of many kinds and books calculated to make the unlearned man's head ache, while the walls are almost covered with drawings of those bte boned monsters which inhabited this earth when it was as hot from pole to pole as central Africa now is and leath ern lungs Were necessary to breathe the Eupercarbonated air. Nor are these the ideally reconstructed monsters of Mr. Waterhouse Hawkins. They are exact drawings of the actual skeletons dug up or washed cut in the great basins of the later geological ages. In Support of Irrigation. Some of them are very curious indeed, and by merely walking through the rooms the most unlearned in the sci ence can get a pretty fair idea of what condition our country was in a few mil lions or billions of years ago. The great survey of the region commonly known as the great plains the great survey is. merely the general view as distinguish ed from the minute local survey now in progress is completed and shows this curious fact that while one going west ward from the Missouri line is con stantly rising higher in topography he is going deeper in a geological basin. In other words, long after the central west was high land the ocean extended from the present gulf of Mexico far into British America, and the region just east of the Rocky mountains be- 4 rWff i M V PROFESSOR CHARLES D. WALCOTT. came habitable land long after Missouri did. It is this which makes the possi bilities of development there so great, and Major Powell's great scheme of ir rigation finds strong support in the lat est conclusions of this bureau. At the northern part of this region was one of the last of the great basins to be filled, and there the living creatures of that era seem to have found their last and great est burial place. In the so called "Bad Lands" may be found thousands of tons of sharks' teeth and other marine remains, and with them the fossils of some 30 kinds of moles and almost in numerable species of crawling things. It was a display of these fossils at the Smithsonian which so excited the horror of Spotted Tail, the Indian chief, when he was here a few years ago, that he made an offer of 50 ponies to have them all returned. He declared that the In dians of Dakota would never again have good fortune, for the Great Spirit had told them not to allow those fossils to be disturbed. Work Now In Progress. Professor Walcott, having just taken charge of the office, has but little time to chat, but all his assistants are enthu siastic in their work and ready to ex plain. This is, of course, a bureau of the interior department, and there are two grand divisions of it, one of which deals only with the surface and the other with what is below it. The subdivisions are the departments of paleontology, chem istry, library, engraving, mining, statis tics, illustrations and editorial. The bureau has been a matter of growth rath er than of creation by a single law, so that its age can hardly be determined, but its fifteenth annual report is now in type and will be ready for the public by the close of the current fiscal year. The most practical work now in progress is the preparation of maps in the topo graphical department, and, by the way, the maps now published for use in the schools of New York were made up from the recent charts of this division. After looking over the minute charts repre senting the survey by townships in the valley of the Hudson I am compelled to conclude that if the scale there set ia to be followed all over the United States it will be a work of 40 years or more un less the force be very greatly increased. Connected with the topographic is the art division, in which the largest pho tographs now made are produced. All this, be it understood, has nothing to do with geology proper, but the maps, or rather charts, show by fine lines the ele vation of every mile wide of the surface and are in great demand by the design- V 1 i i in xcw rw ftfUUUll Satin Striped ORGANDY Worth 18c; This Week, lOo yd THE MOST COMPLETE LINE OF WASH AND WHITE GOODS IN THE CITY New Jap.

Pro fessor Henry Gannett is chief of the eastern division of this work and Pro fessor A. H. Thompson of the western. "This topographic map, gays Professor Gannett, "is a necessity for accurate ge ological survey. We begin by locating a number of points in the areas under sur vey and then draw the lines, sketching the topography as it rises or falls from these located points. This is, however, only the universal method of surveying and preparing maps. The cost varies widely. The most expensive work is that done on the mile Bcale in the north eastern states, where it averages about 1 0 per mile. On the great plains in Kan eas, Nebraska and the Dakotas it costs less than a third as much, and averaging the cost on all the scales for the whole United States year after year it is about $5 per square mile. You can see how very little work is required to present tho variations of level on this chart for a section of South Dakota. Leaving out Alaska, the work for the whole country will cost about $15,000,000, which is as expensive as congress ia in the humor to authorize at present. The work has now been in progress 12 years. Uses of Maps. "The amount of money wasted for want of such maps has been enormous. It is certain that in the matter of rail road building alone the Iobs has been many times greater than the cost of this entire survey. In the large map you see that the scale ia four miles to an inch, but this will not do for economic pur poses, and so we have two other scales the densely settled portions of the country on the scale of one mile to an inch and other sections at two miled. These lines present at a glance the re lief of the country, hills, valleys, moun tains and canyons, each successive line showing the increasing height above sea level, so where the slope is steep these lines are very close, and where it is gentle they are far apart, and any observer can see the slope at a glance. The map is drawn in sheets i 7 inches long and from 12 to 15 inches wide, each sheet upon a two mile scale, and therefore comprising an area of half a degree in latitude" by half a degree in longitude, and so the width of the map must be greater as we go toward the south." Major Powell's Grand Work. It was in Utah in the summer of 1869 that I first met Major Powell and felt the contagion of his enthusiasm. He had made his first trial at the Grand canyon of the Colorado and was full of schemes for the survey of all that part of the great river's valley north of the Arizona line, a survey since largely com pleted. About 100,000 square miles of the Colorado basin are now as familiar to geologists as most of the area of the older states, and scores of mining camps are located where then only the .Moun tain Utes roamed, save when the' white hunters went there in the autumn for deer and other game and an occasional encounter with cinnamon bear and mountain lion. John Wesley Powell, son of a Meth odist preacher, ia a native of Mount Morris, N. Y., and became a teacher of geology and enthusiastio explorer while yet in his college course. He enlisted among the first in Illinois and left a right arm at Shiloh a loss which laid the foundation for occasional troubles ever after and has finally caused him the great suffering of which all lovers of science have been sorry to hear. As professor of geology he went with his class of Bloomington, Ills. to Colora do in 1867 and there conceived the grand scheme with which his name is so bril liantly connected. The surveys he began continued till 1874 and were at first un der the direction of the Smithsonian in stitution, but the matter grew to a sep arate department, and in 1879 this bu reau was formally organized and Clar ence King made director. In 1881 he gave place to Major Powell, who now gives place to Professor Walcott. Three years after meeting Major Pow ell I crossed northern Arizona with a band of Navajo Indians to the mouth of Pahreah creek, in the Colorado canyon, finding there the cache of the Powell expedition's boats and supplies and at Kanab found Professor Thompson in charge of the work. To meet such peo ple in the remote wilds, as that country then emphatically was, is one of the most delightful experiences in the life of a rambler. In those days the once notorious John D. Lee was the only white man resident in all that region, but the Powell survey was followed soon u run ML Ml SUCCESSORS TO WiaGIN, CROSBY CO. Fine Corded DIMITIES Worth 15c yd., This Week, lOo yd.

Professor Walcott also began his work for the United States in southern Utah in 1879, and there could scarcely be a better place, for there is precious little there except rock. In 1882 he surveyed the Eureka district in Nevada. Indebtedness to Mormons. John D. Lee, whose retreat was then in the deep canyon at the mouth of Pahreah creek, seemed to know the whole gamut of Indian nature by a sort of instinct, spoke the tongues of all the tribes in that vicinity and was a man of great influence among them. Next to him in familiarity with Indian af fairs was Jacob Hamlin, a Mormon elder of Kanab, at whose house I met Pro fessor Thompson and lady and some of their employees in 1872. Major Powell acknowledged his great indebtedness to these two pioneer Mormons, and his en thusiasm in the study of Indian affairs was catching. He had already laid out an extensive outline of studies to be made of the movements of Indian tribes and was one of the first to show how rapidly the general characteristics of tribes are changed by their long extend ed movements and change of climate and habits. Of the Utes, Navajoes and those branches of the Pueblos which are located in northern Arizona he had al ready made a study and formed a very clear and consistent theory of their de velopment ana the causes of their differ ences from other Indians. -T.

Harrison recently consented to temporarily fill the office of provost of the University of Pennsyl vania, made va cant by tho resig nation of Dr. Pepper, it was upon the distinct understa nding that he should be allowed to retire as soon as the trustees could agree upon an other suitable man for the posi tion. The trus- Charles c. Harrison. tees, however, hope that if Mr. Harri son does not find the duties of the posi tion too onerous his love for the univer isity may induce him to retain it per manently, and in this hope the trustees are heartily seconded by the faculty, the alumni, the students and by all Phila- delphians interested in the welfare of the university. Mr. Harrison has been one of the uni versity trustees for a long time and has been chairman of the ways and means committee of the board since 1886. He was formerly the senior member of the sugar refining firm of Harrison, Frazier Co. and since his retirement from active business several years ago has de voted most of his time to advancing the interests of the university. He has been a liberal benefactor of the institution, and recently he and his two brothers en dowed the John Harrison laboratory of chemistry in honor of their grandfather, who was one of the pioneer chemists of Philadelphia. Born in Philadelphia May 8, 1844, Mr. Harrison received his early education at the Episcopal academy. He entered the university in 1858 and was a class mate of Dr. Pepper, the retired provost, of whom he has ever since been a close friend and adviser. They graduated in 1862, Mr. Harrison being the honor man of the class and receiving the Henry Reed prise. Whether he retains the pro tostship or not, Mr. Harrison has an nounced his desire to devote the re mainder of his life to the service of his ulma mater. The resignation of Dr. Pepper was uiused by the fact that the duties of tvovost had become eo onerous that ha had to give up the position or retire from '.lis medical practice. He will still re tain his professorship and take an ln 1 arest in the university's affairs. With 1 is letter of resignation Dr. Pepper sent tbe trustees his check for $50,000 as a c ontribution toward the new wing of the hospital.

The Scheme Embodies a Plan For Handling Coal In the Iorin of Dust. A leading engineering journal make out a good case for the scheme of pump ing coal to market and favors the idea that it will be adopted for practical working. The system embodies the re duction of all coal at the mines to the form of impalpable dust at a cost of t to 5 cents per ton; the separation from the coal by one of the present washing processes of all free sulphur, pyrites, slate, etc., at the cost of another 5 cents per ton; the mixture of the ceal powdei with about its own weight of water, thui converting it into a sort of black milk, and the pumping of it in that state tc any desired market, as oil now is pumped. WThen the mixture has arrived thui far, it is deprived of most of its water it great settling basins, but as much as i to 10 per cent of the fluid is left in tht mixture, which in that state is pumped short distances only to points of con sumption, where the remainder of tht water may be dried out by the otherwist waste heat. The capacity per day of 24 hours of a 24 inch pipe, with a meai speed of five miles per hour, is about 81, 000 long tons, taking the coal conveyec at 351 pounds per cubic foot of mixture. At 1,200 pounds pressure for pumping stations 30 miles apart a 4 inch pipe woulc carry 320 tons daily; an 8 i ach pipe, 1,824 a 12 inch pipe, 5,120. The total coal con sumption of New York city average! considerably under 25,000 tons per day the New England states burn about 5( per cent more than this; the whole Unit ed States, nearly 20 times as much, it round figures, so that comparatively few pipes would suffice to handle the whole coal supply of the country. The evapo ration of the water from the coal dusi presents no serious difficulty. This system opens up again the ques tion of the comparative value of coal dust for fuel. While in many cases coaJ dust is commercially valueless, in other it cannot be replaced by any other forir of coal for real services for instance, in the manufacture of fuel or other gas, the making of stiff coke, the mixing wit ti iron ore dust before coking, to the greal improvement of the product both in quan tity and quality; the remedying of tht smoke nuisance, as the dust mixed with air is blown into the furnace, and the maximum combustion is secured, and generally wherever coal is burned mere ly to generate heat in properly designed combustion chambers. The inventor oi the pipe conduction of coal claims, and apparently with good reason, that it ef fects a great saving in cost of transmis sion. Pittsburg Dispatch. A Blizzard Victim's Strug-gle For Life. The body of J. M. Hershaw, who was lost in the blizzard, has been recoved, and the position of the body and othei evidences show a-desperate struggle foi lite. Mr. Hershaw went to town for oil and was within 80 rods of his home when th blizzard overtook him. Not being able to make headway against it, he drifted south with the storm and crossed the graded road, expecting to find a wire fence which led up to a tree claim with a house on it. His tracks show that he missed the end of the fence by only a few feet, which in such a storm was as good as a mile, as no living being could be ex posed to the fury of such a storm 10 min utes without having his face completely covered with a frozen sleet which would Bhut out from view a building within five feet. Mr. Hershaw was found upon a plow ed field six miles from home, lying down, with the oil can between his legs and blood on the point of the can spout, caused by rubbing his forehead in his desperate efforts to remove the frozen enow from his face. Hamilton (N. D.) Dispatch. Training; Thoroughbreds In Harness. Nearly all successful trainers of the thoroughbred have in the course of long experience developed some methods pe culiarly their own, but it has been re served for Mr. J. E. Cushing, owner ol Boundless, winner of the $30,000 Ameri can Derby of 1893, to advocate the theory of driving the running horse to a sleigh in the winter months. Mr. Cushing states that he has adopted this method of training with all the good horses he ever owned.

Mr. Cushing claims that his plan enables the trainer to give his horse enough exercise to keep the mus cles hard and firm without having to carry any weight.

Mr. Cushing was an engineer a few years ago and is one of the accidental developments of the run ning turf. Spirit of the Times. Only IticU Men Can He British Officers. What the demands upon the private means of a cavalry officer really amount to was strikingly shown the other day by an excellent article in The Army and Navy Gazette. The initial outlay was here put at 900 and the annual expend iture at 700, and these totals were sup ported by full details of regimental and personal expenses. Who can wonder that almost every Gazette tells the tale of young cavalry officers cutting the service, regardless of the money they have sunk, as soon as they replizo what the position means, or that the difficulty of keeping up the supply of officers is constantly increasing, notwithstanding the fact that the entrance standard for the cavalry is now below that of any other branch of tht army? Unless it Is desired that the British, cavalry shall eventually be officered exclusivfly by the class which has money and no brains, some drastic measures will need to be taken without delay to curtail the de mands on cavalry officers purses.

STATE JOURNAL 3IOND AY EVENING, JUNE 11, 1S9 4. IN RAIL HO AD CIRCLES. What Becomes of General Manager St. John? 1 CHIKGE OH THE ROCK ISLISD. Otkr Railroad XatUr or Iatcrcst I.e-al and GeneraL There is much speculation in railroad circles over the fate of General Manager E. 8t John of the Rock Island, since the appointment of Third Vice President Truesdale to succeed IL A. Parker. A New York railroad paper which is regarded as authority in official circles, a few days ago printed a story to the ef fect that Vice President Truesdale is to hay charge of traffic affairs, and will also act in the capacity of general mana ger. Nothing has been said about the re tirement of General Manager St John, and some of his friends here fear there is some truth in the New York story, al though no official information has been received here on that subject The appointment of Vice President Truesdale will, according to a Chicago authority, give the Kock Island control of the Minneapolis line, which is consid ered a valuable link to the system. A GREAT, HIU TIME. Th Santa Fe People Wall Pleased With Their Excursion Saturday. The Santa Fe shops excursion to Wash ington park, Kansas City, Saturday, was a great success, aad the crowd got home all right with no bones broken. Of course it rained and a good deal of the pleasure of the trip was spoiled, but in spite of the bad weather every one of the excursionists declares that the picnic was aa nice as could be. The trains reached Kansas City before nine o'clock and were unloaded at Fif teenth street, where the dummy train was waiting to take them to the park. The management of the line were not good guessers, however, and a large number had to wait a long time before they got to the park. When the trains left Topeka it is said that people were hanging onto the car window sills by their eyebrows, and on the return trip Mr. Tice, who went along to sort of over see things transportational, had two extra coaches provided to escape th6 crush. The sports were considerably abbre viated on account of the wet weather, and the ball game between the Capital Citys and the Favorites was necessarily shortened to three innings, with a score of three to four, and the Capital Citys got the $10 prize offered by the park management. There was dancing of course, and Harry IX Dustiu got the gen tleman s prize umbrella, while AIiss Jen Die Dudding was awarded the silk para sol as the best dancer among the ladies present, lhe races were entirely done away with. The first train left Kansas City at 5:30, and the last one at 8:30, and the entire crowd was at home tired, sleepy and nappy by eleven o clock. FACKT1UUS FKIEND9, Two Trunks With Heart and Ribbon Tacked on Each One. There were evidently two bridal couples on the southbound Santa Fe train yesterday forenoon and their trunks bore evidence that somebody had been playing a practical joke on them. One of the trunks bore the initials "J. G. B." A white satin ribbon was tied in a handsome bow lover's knot to the left strap and a dainty white kid slipper with the sole full of sharp projecting tacks probably with a view to possible posterity was also attached to the trunk by a ribbon. Over its surface were tacked hearts innumerable, fashioned from red card board. The other trunk was labeled "H. M. Pollard." It also bore hearts and half moons and an old bronze slipper, but no riDoons. On one placard attached was the legend "Just Married," and on a cres cent shaped card a foot long were the words "Our Honey Moon," and on an other "Our Bridal Trip." The trunks were billed for Houston, Texas. It was mighty mean of somebody. RAILROAD RUMBLINGS. 1'eriogil 'olei Among- tha Railroad shops and Offices. The employes of the Santa Fe offices were paid today inetead of tomorrow as at first announced. Robert McKeen of the Rock Island general superintendent's office, who was married last week at Lincoln, Nebraska, to Miss Ida Banks, has returned with his bride and they are living at 930 Bu chanan street. Superintendent of Telegraph A. R. Llngafelt of the Rack Island, leaves to day for Detroit, Michigan, to attend the annual national meeting of superinten dents of telegraph. He will return next week. S. J. TTightower, a chair car porter on the K. C, F. S. M., has been arrested for selling liquor to passengers. He will plead not guilty. A Santa Fe switch engine went wild at Pueblo Saturday and collided with an other engine. Both were wrecked but no one hurt On his retirement from the general Bupenntendency of the Santa Fe yester day, IX. R. Nickerson presented his chief clerk, F. B. McKercher with a watch charm emblematic of the order of Knights Templar. It is a magnificent emblem and contains live diamonds. Strong City". Trouble. At a mass meeting of citizens at Strong City Saturday night regarding the troubles between that city and the Chi cago, Kansas Western railway, resolu tions were adopted accepting the propo sition of General Manager Frey to op erate the Chicago, Kansas Western railway from Strong City; to return all engines from Emporia to the round house there before September 1. to transfer all Chicago. Kansas West era train crews to Strong City and to make that city the division terminal headquarters. The Chicago, Kansas Y estern is a Sanfa Fe branch and the people of Strong City paid part of its cost on condition that division head quarters be maintained there. Kew Engines at the Shops. The last installment of the Santa Fe's twenty new engines from the Richmond Locomotive works at Richmond, Va, Is arriving at the shops. Ten of the en gines had been received up to May 1st and four more have arrived within the last few days. These engines aro of the .1 Yarlet7 nd have four drivers on side. They are for use on the moun tain divisions and are monsters. The rest are coming on as fast as they can be made ready tot shipment. Change In Santa Fe Time. The changes in Santa Fe time on this division yesterday were not radical. No. 1, westbound, now reaches Topeka at 3:45 instead of 3:50 p. m. Three east bound trains change a little. No. 2 now leaves at 5:15 instead of 5:25 a. m., No. 6 changes from 4:35 to 5. -05 p. nx, and No. 106 from 4:40 to 5.-05 p. m. These are all the changes made on this division. Kxoarsien (rm Hiawatha. A Hiawatha party has made arrange ments to run an excursion to Topeka on Wednesday the 20th, as a sort of sight seeing expedition. The train will leave Hiawatha early in the morning and go to V athena over the Grand Island and there take the Rock Island for this place. The round trip fare will be $1.75. ANNA SHAW'S SEK3I0N. Am Immense Audience Listens to an Able Sermon. The First Methodist church was crowded yesterday morning to hear the Rev. Anna IL Shaw preach. Not only was every seat occupied, but a large number of people had to stand up at the back of the church and many sat on the gallery stairway leading to the pulpit. Her sermon was on the subject of "What is a christian." She held that there was a great difference between a religionist and a christian. "One may be a religionist and not a christian," said she. "Belief doesn't constitute a christian, because the devils believed and the devils were devils still." She told several interesting anecdotes to illustrate her points. "We call our country a christian coun try, but I believe that conditions have been such during the last few years that we have had to appeal to tne United States supreme court to decide whether we were or not and I believe it decided that we were." In speaking of creeds, she said: "The longer I live the less I remember about my creed. I suppose if I were asked what we believe, 1 should not be able to tell half of what we do believe, and I should not be sorry if I should forget the other half." Continuing she said: "No man ever achieved great success unless he had a vision. The office boy to the lawyer, does not see in himself the errand boy, but sees in himself the judge on the bench, and the difference between the office boy who deis a judge and the office boy who dies a janitor, is the difference between a man with a vision and one that is visionless." Mr. Geo. Bright sang a pretty sacred solo, and an extra collection was taken for Mi3s Shaw after the sermon. "If all women could preach like Miss Shaw," said Rev. A. S. Embree,- "I would be in favor of letting them preach." YARROLL HAD TO GO. More of the Statahouse Crowd's Rela- tlons to Get Joba. The charges of crookedness filed with Governor Lewelling recently against Warden Chase and the directors of the state penitentiary have not been investi gated, and now the chief clerk at the penitentiary John Yarroll, one of the men who signed the charges, has been removed. The charges which were filed by ex Mine Inspector Asa Bunn, were referred by Governor Lewelling back to the direc tors themselves. The directors in retaliation met at the penitentiary and removed Chief Clerk John W. Yarroll, and appointed In his place E. T. Prather, a cousin of State Auditor Van B. Prather. The Leavenworth Times also sayB that it is the understanding that Warden Chase's daughter will be made assistant chief clerk and that John Chase, a son of the warden, is to be appointed super intendent of the mines. The appoint ment of Chase, Jr., as mine superintend ent is nbt to be officially announced until after the Populist state convention has been held. The assistant clerk who was removed to make room for the daughter of War den Chase is Sam Semple. a brother of Bob Semple, of the state bank commis sioner's office, and a brother of the Sem ples of Franklin and Cherokee counties. LAST DAYS AT WASHBUftN The Baccalaureate Sermon Preached by Dr. MoVior Coming Invents. Dr. Peter McViear delivered the bac calaureate sermon to the seniors of Washburn at the college chapel yester day afternoon. His text was: "Moses smote the rock three times and staid." There wa3 a good attendance of students although the weather was somewhat threatening. Dr. McViear in his discourse insisted that things should be done thoroughly. There was too much of the slip-shod, half way of doing things, said he. In the evening Rev. A. S. Euibree de livered the annual address before the re ligious societies of the college.

A Decision of the Supreme Court Affects It. The supreme court has handed down an opinion by Judge Allen, holding that an ex-confederate cannot vote in Kansas until his disabilities have been removed by legislative enactment The case wa3 argued in the April term Dy jc rann jjoster and Chester X. Long- in original proceedings in quo warranto Drought Dy O. C Joyd to oust O. Mills irom the office of sheriff, of Barber coun ty on the ground of illegal votes. The decision was on a motion to strike out parts of the petition which held that sample ballots cast in one township in the countv were illegal, and that ex-con federates whose disabilities had not been removed had no right to vote at the elec tion. The motion was made by Judge uoster. The court hqld that the casting of the sample ballots was legal, no matter what the color if all the ballots voted were of the same color and no other ballots were obtainable, as was true in this case, but that the ballots cast by ex-oonfederate soldiers were illegal. The point at issue was not decided. PARDON NOT NEEDED. Pat Patterson Dies While Friends Are Trying- to Secure His Release.

A great number of signatures were se cured, but about the time of the adjourn ment of the convention word was re ceived that Patterson had died in the penitentiary. WORTHLESS WHEAT. It Appears to Tie" Ripening: Rut No Grain In the Heads. N. L Dalton has returned from a trip northeast of the city to Thompsonville. On the road he stopped at four different wheat fields which had the appearance of being nearly ready to harvest and cut a bundle of the grain in each of the fields. In every case the wheat is almost worthless, having been killed by the frosts. Many farmers notice their fields turn ing brown as if the grain were ripening, but upon examination find that the heads are unfilled and the grain not worth har vesting. The wheat that is not situated in low bottom land has not suffered from the frost but the chinch bugs have done a great deal of damage and some fields have been cut lor feed.

The Conn ty Commissioners Have N In spector on the Work. The courthouse contractors will today finish that part of the work on the foun dation in which the concrete is placed in the trenches preparatory to placing the heavy stone work for the foundation. 1 he remarkable part of this is that the county commissioners have up to this time failed to place an inspector on the work to see that the work is faithfully done in the interest of the county. It is true that Architect Holland has had a general oversight of the work, but he has only been on the courthouse site a small part of the time. lhe commissioners should have had a man on the ground to look after the in terests of the county, but they seem to be willing that the courthouse shall be con structed as the contractors see fit.

There will be lots of good marksmen in the city tomorrow, for the Kansas Sportsmen's association will hold its fifth annual session at the grounds of the West Side gun club west of the city to morrow.

A prominent politician tells a good story on Pat Coney, which however, dates back several years. A little group of politicians were clustered in the cor ridor of the Copeland discussing enthus iasm at political meetings. One of the group said: "It was some years ago when I was a member of the state cen tral committee and Capt. P. H. Coney had made some very successful speeches in the Irish settlements, when we got a request from Lyons asking that Coney be sent there. He went but when he got off the train, not a aoul was there to meet him. 'I shall never leave this station without a brass band,' he said and messengers were sent over the town to drum up enough men to make a proces sion and the band was engaged. A pro cession was formed and Capt. Coney was escorted from the depot in the midst of a great demonstration. Then he sent a bill for 40 to the committee and of course we paid it. You can rely upon Capt, Coney when you want enthusiasm." THE JUDGE LETS THEM OUT The Evidence Age lust Three Alleged Burglars Not Considered Sufficient. In the district court this morning Judge Uazen released Lee Curtis, Sid Pickens and Lew Webb from the county jail on a writ of habeas corpus. The writ was granted on the ground that the evidence was insufficient. These three young men were charged with committing two Parkdale burglaries, one of which was at the residence of Dr. Taylor where f 50 was taken from under the pillow of the doctor. In granting the writ Judge Ilazen said while the evidence was not sutlicient to hold the prisoners, it was in his mind only a question of time until they would find the inside of the penitentiary, a9 two of them have already served terms there.

My feet and limbs were badly swol len, and I was indeed in a serious condition when a srentleman directed my attention to lr.

Jtfax Sale by mil Xroezi9ts- km FOR OCTIXO AND TSATEU make a "utility garment" an ngly one. It requires to be neat and unobtrusive, but it can be made pretty all the same. I found just such a dress today, and I will tell you all about it. First the Ekirt just cleared the ground all around. The skirt was perfectly plain and had plaits only in the back. There were two good, deep pockets and two neatly stitched pocket flies, which gave a slight degree of ornament to the skirt. The coat basque was at once simple and stylish, having a sprung polka and an incroyable collar, very large and wide and opening low to show a veFt of bro cade in silver gray. The gown was of Elate gray cheviot of good quality. The sleeves were very large gigots, with a narrow twist of brocade around the wrist. Gray suede gloves, a "burnt" straw hat, with a twist of black vel vet and a full chou of the same, and a black parasol were the accessories to this simple but useful costume. Its utility is enhanced by the fact that any one can wear it. Its plainness makes it suitable for the active grandmother of today, and its style, which is undenia ble, renders it just right for the grand daughter. Not so the ulster. None but the young can wear an ulster like this, which is made of shepherd's plaid in prune and gray. The undergarment is hollowed in the back, but hangs loose in front and buttons two-thirds the length with molds covered with the material. The cape is cut so that there are fulled shoul ders, which makes a dressy garment. There is a high collar and a comforta ble capuchin hood, the latter lined with gray taffeta. The plaid is thick enough to reqiure no lining, and botli capa and capuchin are postiche. With this go gray or black gloves and a black sailor hat, trimmed with a rich array of loops of black velvet ribbon, the only point of color being a large square gilt buckle set with imitation amethysts. The fashion of employing imitation jewrels, while not quite as general or as brilliant as last season, is still quite of ten noticed. There are several ways of using these stones that were not thought of then. One is to make loops of them strung upon thread and let them hang from shoulder to the point of the waist, like a new sort of bretelle. Dancing shoes are decorated with garns ts, pearls, rubies, emeralds and diamonds, all bright and sparkling and quite goo enough imitations to bo handsome whil not costly. And when used as trim mings the public accepts as a fact that they are false, but admires the effect and does not abhor the wearer for false pretenses. It is not the poor girl long ing for a bit of brilliancy and bright ness who buys and wears these imita tions in the hope that no one will know the difference. The wealthiest often decks herself with quantities of these stones, "but then she wears them with a manner that shows clearly that she ex pects them to be taken at their full value, while the poor girl is too con scious. Never mind false things. Let us say a word about the true and, I may add, the beautiful I mean the little girls. They are going to be sweeter than ever mm, Mm ":---r" tin w i STATE SECRETS. in their white embroidered frocks, with quaint little blouse waists and puffed eleeves of pretty silks and their wide lace berthas, just like big sisters. This is for a party dress, and there will be white socks for warm weather, and the arms and neck will be partly bared when it is very warm. When some little girl is to go out and stay until evening, she 'must have coat of some sort, so a cozy little gar ment of that kind made of the pretty new striped flannel in black and tan is made with a yoke and collar and bish op sleeves and edged with a cherry red ribbon.

Be G t Three Copies, at;d the Aent Felt Lovely Over It. A suburban resident, whose home is on a height far above his railway station and approachable by a moderately short, steep path and a long, roundabout road, fell in with a book agent the other day. The suburban was just hastening off in his carriage to the station, but the book agent nailed him with his glittering eye and sold his book for $5. The suburban traveled down to New York with hja book, found it extremely dull and left it at his office. On reaching home he was saluted by his wife with the announcement that she had paid for the book, as he desired. It was the same book, the agent having watched his victim depart and deceived the wife by the story that her husband had bought the book and desired her to pay for it. "If I had him here, I'd kick him," said the suburban, and then his wife exclaimed, "Why, there he is, walk ing down the path to the station." Then that man hastened out of his slippers and into his shoes, meaning to pursue the agent. But a neighbor drove up at that moment and was asked to drive down to the station and stop the stranger. Off went the neighbor like a shot and halted the man ju6t as he was about to board the train. "That man up there on the bluff wants" said the obliging neighbor. "Oh, yes; he wants one of my books," said the agent. "Do you mind taking it for him? It's $5." The money was paid, and the neighbor hurried back with the prize. "Here's your book," he cried, holding it aloft, "and I've paid the $5," and the suburban realized with wrath that he had three copies of a dull book that he did not want. New York Sun. Ho Hit It Right. The class in geography was reciting, and there were several visitors. The sub ject for the day was the state of Penn sylvania. "Now, children," said the teacher, "who can bound Pennsylvania?" Half a dozen hands went up and waved wildly in the air, and a little girl gave the boundaries of the state correctly. "What is the largest city in Pennsyl vania?" asked the teacher. "Philadelphia!" shouted the little boy with the jersey suit. "Now," continued the teacher, "who can tell me what building there is in Philadelphia about which no true Amer ican should think without a glow of love and patriotism? What building is there which we should all revere, and which is the pride and hope of every loyal son of the United States?" This was a poser, and no one answered for a time.

A city of marble was Cesarea wharves of marble, houses of marble, temples of marble. This being1 the ordinary architecture of the place, you may imagine something- of the splendor of Gov. Felix's residence. In a room of that palace, floor tesselated, windows curtained, ceiling1 fretted, the whole ecene affluent with Tyrian purple, and statues, and pictures, and carvings, sat a very dark-complexioned man by the name of Felix, and beside him a woman of extraordinary beauty, whom he had stolen by breaking up another domestic circle. She was only 18 years of age, a princess by birth. and unwittingly waiting for-her doom that of being buried alive in the ashes and scoriie of Mount Vesuvius, Which in sudden eruption, one day, put an end to her abominations. Well, one' afternoon Drusilla, seated in the palace, weary with the magnificent Stupidities of the place, says to Felix: "You have a very distinguished prisr oner, I believe, by the name of Paul. Do you know he is one of my country men? I should very much like to see him, and I should very much like to hear him speak, for I have heard so much about his eloquence. Be sides that, the other day, when be was being tried in another room of this palace, and the windows were open, I heard the applause that greeted the speech of Lawyer Ter tullus, as he denounced PauL Now, I very much wish I could hear Paul speak. Won't you let me hear him speak?" "Yes," said Felix, "I will, will order him up now from the guard-room. Clank, clank, comes a chain up the marble stairway and there is a shuffle at the door, and in comes Paul, a little old man, prema turely old through exposure only 60 years of age, but looking as though he were SO. He bows very courteously before the governor and the beautiful woman by his side. They say: "Paul, we have heard a great deal about your speaking; give us now a specimen of your eloauence." OhI if there ever was a chance for a man to show off, Paul had a chance there. He might have harangued them about Grecian art, about the wonderful water works he had seen at Corinth, about the Acropolis by moonlight, about prison life in Philippi, about "what I saw in Thessalonica," about the old mytholo gies; but '"No!" Paul said to himself; "I am now on the way to martyrdom, and this man and woman will soon be dead, and this is my only oppor tunity to talk to them about the things of eternity." And just there and then, there broke in upon the scene a peal of thunder. It was the voice of a judgment day speaking through the words of the decrepit apostle. As that grand old missionary proceeded with his remarks, the stoop begins to go out of his shoulders, and he rises up, and his countenance is illumined with the glories of a future life, and his shackles rattle and grind as he lifts his fettered arm, and with it hurls upon his abashed auditors the bolts of God's indignation. Felix grew very white about the lips. His heart beat unevenly. He put his hand to his brow, as though to stop the quickness and violence of his thoughts. He drew his robe tighter about him, as under a sudden chili His eyes glare and his knees shake, and, as he clutches the side of his -chair in a very paroxysm of terror, he orders the sheriff to take Paul back to the guard room. "Felix trembled, and said, Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee." A young man came one night to our services, with pencil in hand, to caricature the whole scene, and make mirth of those who should ex press any anxiety about their souls; but I met him at the door, his face very white, tears running down his cheek, as he said, "Do you think there is any chance for me?" Felix trem bled, and so may God grant it may be so with others. I propose to give you two or three reasons why I think Felix sent Paul back to the guard room and adjourned this whole subject of religion. The first reason was, he did not want to give up his sins. He looked around; there was Drusilla. He knew that when he became a Christian, he must send her back to Azizus, her lawful husband, and he said to himself, "I will risk the destruction of my immor tal soul, sooner than I will do that." How many there are now who can not get to be Christians, because they will not abandon their sins! In vain all their prayers and all their church go ing. You can not keep these darling sins and win heaven; and now some of you will have to decide between the wine cup, and unlawful amusements, and lascivious gratifications on one hand and eternal salvation on the other. Delilah sheared the locks of Samson; Salome danced Herod into the pit; Drusilla blocked up the way to heaven for Felix. Yet when I pre sent the subject now, I fear that some of you will say, "Not quite yet Don't be so precipitate in your demands. I have a few tickets yet that I have to use. I have a few engagements that I must keep. I want to stay a little longer in the whirl of convivialty a few more guffaws of unclean laughter, a few more steps on the road to death, and then, sir, I will listen to what you say. "Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee." Another reason why Felix sent Paul back to the guard room and adjourned this subject was. he was so very busy. In ordinary times he found the affairs of state absorbing', but those were ex traordinary times. The whole land was ripe for insurrection. The Sicarii, a band of assassins, were already prowling around the palace, and I suppose he thought, "I can't attend to religion while I am so pressed by affairs of state." It was business, among; other things, that ruined his soul, and I suppose there are thou sands of people who are not children of God because they have so much business. It is business in the store losses, gains, unfaithful employes. It is business in your law office sub poenas, writs you have to write out, papers you have to file, arguments you have to make. It is your medical pro fession, with its broken nights, and the exhausted anxieties of life hang ing' upon your treatment. It is your real estate office, your business with landlords and tenants, and the failure of men to meet their obligations with you. Ay, with some of those who are here, it is the annoy ance of the kitchen, and the sitting room, and the parlor the wearing economy of trying- to meet large ex penses with a small income. Ten thousand voices of "business, busi ness, business," drown the voice of the Eternal spirit, silencing the voice of the advancing' judgment day, over coming the voice of eternity; and they can not hear, they can not listen. They say, "Go thy way for this time. Some of you look upon your goods, look upon your profession, you look upon your- memorandum-books, and you see the demands that are made this very week upon your time and your patience and your money; and while I am entreating you about your soul and the danger of procrastination you say, "Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee." Oh, Felix, why be bothered about the affairs of this world so much more than about the affairs of eternity? Do you not know that when death comes you will have to stop business, though it be in the most exacting period of it between the payment of the money and the taking of the re ceipt? The moment he comes you will have to go. Death waits for no man, however high, however low. Will you put your office, will you put your shop in comparison with the affairs of an eternal world? Affairs that in volve thrones, palaces, dominions eternal? Will you put 200 acres of ground against immensity? Will you put forty or fifty years of your life against millions of ages? Oh, Felix, you might better postpone everything else! for do you not know that the up holstering of Tyrian purple in your palace will fade, and the marble blocks of Cesarea will crumble and tho breakwater at the beach, made of great blocks of stone sixty feet long, must give way before the perpetual wash of the sea; but the redemption that Paul offers you will be forever? And yet, and yet, and yet you wave him back to the guard room, saying, 'Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season I will call for thee. Again, Felix adjourned this subject of religion and put oft Paul's argu ment, because he could not give up the honors of the world. He was afraid somehow he would be compromised himself in this matter. Remarks he made afterward showed him to be in tensely ambitious. Oh, how he hugged the favor of men! I never saw the honors of this world in their hollowness and hypocrisy so much as in the life and death of that wonderful man, Charles Sumner. As he went toward the place of burial, even Independence halL in Philadel phia., asked that his remains stop there on their way to Boston. The flags were at half-mast, and the minute guns on Boston Common throbbed after his heart had ceased to beat Was it always so? While he lived, how censured of legislative resolu tions, how caricatured of the pictori als; how charged with every motive mean and ridiculous; how all the urns of scorn and hatred aud billings gate emptied upon his head; how, when struck down in senate chamber, there were hundreds of thousands of people who said, "Good for him, served him right!" how he had to put the ocean between him and his maligners, that he might have a little peace, and how, when he went off sick, they said he was broken hearted because he could not get to be President or secretary of state. Oh Commonwealth of Massachusetts! who is that man who sleeps in your public halL covered with garlands and wrapped in the stars and stripes? Is that the man who, only a few months before, you denounced as 'the foe of republican and democratic insti tutions? Is that the same man? Ye American people, ye could not by one week of funeral eulogium and news paper leaders, which the dead sena tor could neither read nor hear, atone for twenty-five years of maltreatment and caricature. When I see a man like that pursued by all the hounds of the political kennel so long- as he lives, and then buried under a great pile of g-arlands, and amidst the lamentations of a whole nation, I say to myself: What an unutterably hypocritical thing is all human ap plause and all human favor! You took twenty-five years in trying to pull down his fame, and then take twenty-five years in trying to build his monument My friends, was there ever a better commentary on the hol lowness of all earthly favor? If there are young men who read this who are postponing- religion in order that they may have the favors of this world, let me persuade them of their complete folly. If you are looking forward to gubernatorial, senatorial or Presiden tial chair, let me show you your great mistake. Can it be that there is now any young- man saying-, "Let me have political office, let me have some of the high positions of trust and power, and then I will attend to religion; but not now. "Go thy way for this time; when I have a. convenient season, I will call for thee!'" And now my subject takes a deeper tone, and it shows what a dangerous thing is this deferring of religion. When Paul's chain rattled down the marble stairs of Felix, that was Felix's last chance for heaven. Judging from his character afterward, he was repro bate and abandoned. And so was Drusilla. One day in southern Italy there was a trembling of the earth, and the air g-ot black with smoke intershot with liquid rocks, and Vesuvius rained upon Drusilla and upon her son a horrible tempest of ashes and fire. They did not reject religion; they only put it off. They did not understand that that day, that that hour when Paul stood before them, was the pivotal hour upon which everything was poised, and that it tipped the wrong wat Their convenient season came when Paul and his guardsman entered the palace; it went away when Paul and his guardsman left Have you never seen men waiting for a con venient season? There is such a great fascination about it, that though you may have great respect to the truth of Christ, yet somehow there is in your soul the thought "Not quite yet It is not time for me to become a Chris tian." I say to a boy, "Seek Christ" He says, "No; wait until I get to be a young man." I say to the young man, "Seek Christ" lie says, "Wait until I come to mid-life." I meet the same person in mid-life, and I say, "Seek Christ" He says, "Wait until I get old." I meet the same person in old age, and say to him, "Seek Christ" He says, "Wait until I am on my dying bed." I am called to his dying couch. His last moments have come. I bend over the couch and listen for his last words. I have par tially to guess what they are by the motion of his lips, he is so feeble; but rallying- himself, he whispers, until X can hear him say, "I am waiting for a more convenient season and he is gone! May God Almighty forbid that any of you, my brethren or sisters, act the part of Felix and Drusilla, and put away this great subject If you are going to be saved ever, why not begin to-night? Throw down your sins and take the Lord's pardon. Christ has been tramping after you many a day. An Indian and a white man became Christians. The Indian, almost as soon as he heard the gospel, believed and was saved; but the white man struggled on in darkness for a long while before he found light After their peace in Christ, the white man said to the Indian, "Why was it that I was kept so long in the darkness, and you immediately found peace?" The Indian replied, "I will tell you. A prince comes along, and he offers you a coat You look at your coat, and you say, 'My coat is good enough, and you ref usehis offer;but the prince comes along and he offers me the coat, and I look at my old blanket and I throw that away, and take his offer. You, sir," continued the Indian, "are cling ing to your own righteousness, you think you are g-ood enough, and you keep your righteousness; but I have nothing, nothing, and so when Jesus offers me pardon and peace, I simply take it." My reader, why not now throw away the worn-out blanket of your sin and take the robe of a Savi iour's righteousness a robe so white, so fair, so lustrous, that no fuller Jon earth can whiten it? O, shepherd, to night bring home the lost sheep! O, father, to-night give a welcoming kiss to the wan prodigal! O, friend of Lazarus, to-night break down the door of the sepulchre, and say to all these dead souls as by irresitible fiat, Live! Live!" T. DeWiti Talmaqk. ETCHINGS AND ECHOES.

This story is told at the expense of the empress of Austria, in connection with royal photographs. Permission to be granted a sitting by her majesty, was always refused, till one up-to date photographer issued to the trade' a eounterfeit presentment, which was so unlike as to be almost a caricature. The royal vanity was touched, and theu,cefortl appeared more pleasing and much more truthful portraits of the empress.
