The Rock Islun I Ceases to Run Trains Into the Town From the East Today. STARTS FK03I ST. JOE. All Roads Now Dependent on One Line. The Brides Will Very Soon Bo Useless. St. Joseps, Ma, Aug. 3. The Rock Island road ha3 stopped iunning trains into AtcaUon as a result of the river washing Beeral miles of its tracks away. The through train which formerly start ed, from Atchison now- starts from here. The Burlington company has noti fied all line j tiding ita tracks between this city and Atchison to build branches connecting their lines, as the line is too much crowded with five roads running trains over it The Saata Fe is considerably worried about the situation. All the other roads, including the Santa Fe and the Hoct Island, have been using- the I v. C, bf- J. C. 15. track for five miles out of Atch ison, and au trains that can be conven iently, ara being abandoned. General Superintendent Mudge of tho fcanta Fe thiugs that it would require at least au outlay of $100,00 to keep the river from catting through. None of the roads are taking any steps to stop it. HOW FUNDS ARE RAISED. Lolantl Having; PublUhed Iireilenttial Letter, tlie Compliuiaat Kelurned, Chairman Breidenthal of the Populist state central committee is now "playing even" with Chairman Leland of the Re publican stile central committee. About a week ago the Jtepublican com mittert gave out a CfJPy of a letter written by lireidenthal asking for $5 contribu tions to carry on the campaign. Kreident :ial retaliates today by giving out the following letter: i y Deah !mk You have been recom mended to us as a reliable liepubl-can interested in Republican success. The stiite comuittee this year has no funds except those contributed by the people. Wo have no ollicers in the state or na tion who can aasiat us in a financial way :n the campaign. Vv'e need funds badly. There ii a great demand for literature, which we must publish and get out at once. We would like to enlist your serv ices. Can you not raise us Bomo money in your neighborhood, any amount from $5 to $10j and remit to us at once, giv ing name, if possible, of each contrib utor and a -count he contributed? If not tLe name, give us the name of your township, ward or precinct, and it will be to credited" upon our books. Please take hold of this with some en thusiasm, as it is of great necessity at this time. We believe that every citizen of Kansas who realizes the conditions, is anxious that there should be a Republi can victory in this state. It is to his in terest tina icially that the burden under which we have been struggling for two years sheuld be lifted and Kansas be herself again. Help us in this cause. If we can get the great mass of earnest Republicans actively at work, there is no question of our success. This we must d and you can materially aid us. Let us hear from you soon and oblige. Very truly, Signed j J. L. Bit i stow, Sec. Topeka, Kan., Jul" 31, 1SU4. Chairman Breidenthal has discovered that the Republicans secured the letters written by him to J. Q. Adorns of Stock ton and he says that Adams never re ceived the letter. There is nothing particularly inj urious to either party in the letters published. Bjth chairmen appear to be following the usual course in raising funds wnieh are regarded as perfectly legitimate, ex cept that the Republican letter is more clever and doesn't "give away" so many facts as Breidenthal's. THE TOPEKA SEWER CASE filially DlipM.J of Tod ly no Fat ma the Oisinct Court I Concerned. Lawrence, Aug. 3. In the Topeka sewer case J udge Benson today overruled th city's motion for a new trial. The court also decided against the city in the point raised that the judgment was in excess of original contract prices. The city of Topeka was given 120 days time in which to prepare its case for the supreme court. The clfeims for material and labor were ordered made first lien on the judg ment. These claims aggregate about $-'0,000. The result of this ruling will wipe out the $4,500 that was figured aa the Decker, Mullins Berry part of the judgment, and reduce the allowance to the bank about $15,000. As it now stands of the $73,000 awarded, $l'0,0jO will fro to meet the labor and material claims, and 53,000 to the Kan sas National bank of Topeka. A large attendance of the Topeka bar was present at the hearing to day. At long the attorneys here are E. J. Dallas Matt Campbell, J. E. Mc Fariand, W. P. Douthitt, F. II. Foster, J. B. Larimer, S. B. Iseuhart, Rankin Mason, Henry Keeler. Today s action disposes of the case till it reappears in the supreme court. Annual Tax Levy. The loard of county commissioners will hold their annual meeting next Monday morning. At that time the board will make the annual tax levies for all purposes u.nd receive the annual report of the county auditor. The levy it is be lieved will not vary materially from last year, waen it was: General revenue, 3 3-10 mills; bond interest, 1 T-IO mills; total, 3 mills. The school levy is made by districts, and varies from seven to four teen nulla, TO SUE SHERIFF RURDUE. The A. It. C. Taken In the Cue of ttae Moore llru hr. The local lodge of the A. R. U. has em ployed and retained Lawyer W. C. Webb and J. G. Waters and will push damage suits against Sueriil Burdge f jr the im prisoning "without due authority and right," of men brought here and tnrown into jail at the instigation of Chief Detec tive J. J. Kinaey of the Santa Fe and his deputies. 'i here-have been, the A. JL U. claims, fifteen of these men fidseiy held, seven from Dodge City, two frani Argentine, one each from Chanute, Xickersou, Flor ence and Newton, and two from Ottawa. The arrest of the two Moore boys from Ottawa seems to be really the main cause of the suit, and now the union proposes to bring as many suits as they can. Trie btory of the arrest of the Moores was told in yesterday's Journal. The Moore brothers say that one of them has never been employed by the company, and the other has not been in the com pany's employ for several months. Tney were arrested at. the close of the trial at Ottawa of tiie railroad man btilsou for insulting their mother, and the A. Li. U. claims tii.it the arrest was made ou a telegraphic order from Mr. Kinney. The story further is, that awaiting the arrival of the Topeka" train, they were taken to the couuiy jail at Oaawa, but the sheriff of Frankuu county refused to hold them without the leal authority, so they were guarded at the hotel till the train came. At Topeka, it is said, the Moore broth ers were placed in jaii without any com mitment papers, and now they will sue Snerill Burdge for damages. The sum asked in eacn case has not yet been de cided on, but it will probably be not less than $10,000. Sheriff Burdge was seen by a Jour nal reporter this afternoon and declared that he had heard nothing of it. "1 guess they all had commitments that wont into the jail," he said. "I don't know whether the papers were there when the attorneys called or not. I am not always there. 1 am sure, however, that the Moore boys were imprisoned iu a thoroughly legal manner, and that there were commitment papers for both of them. I think the matter will bear investigation." The sheriff takes the matter easily and does not seem worried. The papers in the case have not all been made ready yet, but the retaining fee ha been paid the attorneys and the A. R. U. people declare the suit will bo pushed as rapidly as possible. The same attorneys have also been re tained in the matter of the United States against "Eugene V. Dibs and one thous and others" in the state of Kansas. It will be remembered that during the late strike a restraining order was issued to these men and they were summoned to appear before the United Slates court here to e how why they should not be permanently enjoined from tamp ering with or trespassing on railroad property; $ti00 was raised yesterday afternoon by R. J. Sloat and B. M. Wal lace to defray the attorney's fees and other expenses incidental to tho case. The men will therefore appear on next Monday before Judge Foster in the per sons of their attorneys, Webb and Wa ters, and other attorneys who represent men from other towns of Kansas.

The strike is for an increase iu wages. Auotiier Slory. The strike ordered ty the board of walking dolegates of the building trades on all school buildings in the upper part of this city has so far failed to assume the proportions promised by the repre sentatives of organized labor.

Senate Conferrees Think There's Been Enough Discussion. A Snsrar Schedule lias Been Prepared it is Said. IT IS PROTECTIVE Will Be Offered to Housa as thh Extreme Limit. Bland Will Introduce a Resolu tion for Free Su?ar. Washington-, Aug. 3. The tariff con ference appears to have reached very nearly the paint at which either an early agreement will be reached or a decision to report a disagreement. The senate conferrees apparently have arrived at the conclusion that there has been al ready a sufficient exchange of views upon general lines and that the time has come when the direct issue must be raised. It is stated tUat a sugar schedule has been prepared which the senate will accept and which is to be presented to the house members as the extreme limit to which the senate will go. The schedule, it is said, still provides a differential duty on rerined sugar and in other particulars maintains the pro tective features of the senate schedule. Representative Bland has introduced a resolution instructing the committee on ways and means to report a bill placing all sugars on the free list, and for rais iug 100,000,000 revenue by the income tax. Mr. Bland says concerning the resolu tion: "1 have not consulted Mr. WTilsou or anyone else, but have acied on my own judgment in sub mitting tho resolution. My pur pose is to press it if there is any indication that the general tariff bill will fail. The proposition is some what different from that suggested in Mr. Wilson's speech (at the time the president's letter to him was read), as it proposes raising the necessary govern ment revenue by an income tax. '1 his feature is essential, however, if sugar is placed on the free list. I believe this separate tariff measure would quickly pass both branches of congress if the general bill failed." HARD BLOW AT WHISKY. The Catholic Church Continues Ita War on Saloon Keeper. St. Paul, Aug. 3. The Catholic Total Abstinence association today began the work of changes in the constitution. '1 he resolutions adopted strongly endorse the papal delegate's temperance views. They state thar the union "sees in the recent action of Bishop Watterson, which has been so nobly sustained by Mgr. Satoili, a long step in the right direction. It is believed that this action will crys tallize the influence of the church against the saloon and will stamp this letter indelibly upon the irreconcil ble enemy of the church. The de cision of the papal delegate cannot fail to give additional authority to the recommendation of the court of Balti more, that all Catholic saloon keepers abandon as soon as they can the danger ous traffic and embrace a more becoming way of making a living. "The decision wiil serve as a renewal of the invitation which our holy father, Leo XIII has already addressed to all prienis of the laud to enter into the work of temperance reform. "And with the clergy strongly commit ted against the saloon, the day of vindi cations of the church in America will be near at hand. The scandal ou a prepon derating number of Catholics in the sa loon business is a disgrace too long en dured. Whatever the cause of the fact, a new day is at hand." THE EYER READY MELISH. It M ay lie Sent to Olntha if Striker Get ltioi ous. Omaha. Neb., Aug. 3. All the South Omaha packing houses did a little kill ing today, a few new men having been employed to take the places of the strikiug butchers.

Adjutant General Gage, of the Ne braska national guards, w ho has been or dered to report at South Omaha, did not reach there this morning, but he is ex pected this afternoon. A large force of special policemen has been sworn in and stationed about the packiug houses and gtock yards. EVEN THE INDIANS STRIKE Sign of Advancing: Civilization Among tin WFlcnin Herry IMcker. West Superior, Wis., Aug. 3. A pe culiar strike is on throughout northwest ern Wisconsin. Indians to the number of several hundred are given permission every season to leave the reservations and nick berries for the owner of tFie j berry farms in the northern part of the state. All the Indians have quit, saying the pay was too small, and that they would not go back until it was increased. Un less the matter is settled in a few days the crop will spoil. Dan l Be a Ciam. Rock away Beach, R. I., Aug. a Wm. II. Neibecker and Henry Colton, two waiters here, had a clam eating contest last night. As a result both men are very sick, and Colton may die. The mea have long been rivals for the title of champion clam eater of Rockaway Beach. Big "ir at Marion, lonn Cedar Rapids, la.. Ami. 3.

A dispatch received here from Tieu Tsin says that all desert ers from the troops marching to Taku will be beheaded today. COLD WATEItOX KELLY. It I Said the ex-Senator "Approached." the UepabllaAa Committee. II. B. Kelly's espousal of the Populist cause has created a great deal of talk among the politicians. It now appears from the gossip that is in circu.ation that Kelly had several strings to pull in making his change of political faith. A member of the Republican Btate central committee said today: "When the rumor was first circulated that Kelly had become a Populist he had a conversation with a prominent Repub lican. He said that he was a Republi can but that he had some obligations Which must be met and that he had to provide for his family. lie said that this would require about 150 a month and that if he was guaranteed that amount he would enter the campaign for the Republicans. He also said that he had received many inducements from the Populists and that they promised to make him United States senator if he would come out openly for their party." There is also a rumor current that Mr. Kelly offered his services to the Demo crats. Kugene Hagan, who is a member of the state executive committee, said: "A proposition was never made to me, but it is generally understood that Mr. Kelly would have considered a proposition to enter the campaign for the Democrats. We understood it that way, but can give you no positive information on the sub ject." SUED FOR LIBEL. The Merry Political War Involve Editor J. II. Chpm4n. Late this afternoon a warrant was is sued by County Attorney Safford for the arrest of J. B. Chapman, editor of the Topeka Pres3 on the charge of criminal libel.

The charge was made in the Pre3S that McWiliiams had served a term in the penitentiary and that he and another man had robbed a store at Cameron, Mo. It is because of these charges that the warrant was issued. FROST IN WISCONSIN. The Signals are Ulxpliiyed Throughout Wisc intln Today. Chicago, Aug. 3.

Wrhen the women get al ter the jails we shall wait what we shall see. lrinUins MT lloiial.lioii's Hody. Adams, Mass., Aug. 3. The whole town is horrified at the finding this after noon of tiie body of George Donaldson, in the Drybrook reservoir, which sup plies drinking water for the town.

WAR IH-GEORGIA.

Cleveland R"buke4 in .the House of His Friends. After Making Hundreds of Ap- poiutments in Georgia, The Democratic Convention Slaps Him in the Face. TURNS SQUARE ABOUT On All the Administration's Financial Acts. Demanding the Restoration of Silver to It3 Tlace. Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 3. One of the hardest fought battles between the ad ministration and the Democrats who do not approve of its financial policy was brought to a close at 10 o'clock last night in the Democratic State convention of Georgia. A week ago tho administration people recognized the fact that President Cleve land's anti silver attitude as previously maintained could not be indorsed by the state convention, hence there was a change of faith, and the Atlanta Journal, Secretary Hoke Smith's paper, began in double-leaded editorials to prove that Mr. Cleveland was a bimetallist, and had even now begun the work of free silver coinage at the rate of $1,000,000 a month. When the platform committee went out it was with angry feelings on both Bides. It was composed in equal num bers of Cleveland and anti-Cleveland men as they are known here. For ten hours this committee remained iu con tinuous session, the administration men fighting for a square endorsement of Mr. Cleveland's policy and personality. Not even to the latter feature would his ad versaries agree. In the meantime the convention had proceeded with the nomination of Col. Atkinson to the governorship. In his speech he declared that he wanted no dodging platform; that he had never dodged iu politics before and did not not propose to begin now. This message he sent into the platform committee through Hon. WTarner Hill, one of his most trusted friends. This declaration it was that made the administration members yield their effort to have an indorsement of Mr. Cleveland in the platform, and ou the currency plank they agreed to this: 'We demand the immediate passage of such legislation as will restore silver to its constitutional position as a money metal, and will secure at once the free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver on a parity, and give to every dollar in circulation, whether coin or pwper, the same debt-paying and purchasing pow ers." This put the convention into an up roar. The administration men were de termined to get an indorsement of Mr. Cleveland's policy. One such amend ment by Mr. Dessau Squaus, indorsing the president, was ruled out of order, and the platform a3 read was agreed to. Finally, when the body was about to ad journ, this resolution of personal indorse ment was passed: "We have an abiding faith in the courage, wisdom, honesty and patriotism of President Cleveland, and appreciate the difficulties confronting his adminis tration in its effort to remedy the evil effects of Republican misrule and ex travagance." DEMOCRATIC HARMONY Chair and Fintols Used In a leiu Con resitionl Coaventlon. Dallas, Texas, Aug. 3. A mass meet ing of Democrats of Dallas has been called for 3 o'clock this afternoon to pro test against the Dallas county delegation in the Third congressional district con vention at Corsicana voting for and caus ing the adoption of a free silver plat form at a ratio of 10 to 1 and condemn ing President Cleveland's financial pol icy. The Dallas delegations were instructed against free silver. In the Corsicana convention at noon today a gold standard delegate accused the Dallas delegation of violating instructions. Mayor Barry, of Dallas, called the delegate a liar. A riot followed and chairs were used and pistols drawn. The riot was stopped by the police. More than 1,2 0 ballots have been taken and the convention is hopelessly deadlocked. CHI CAOcTrHOYER RS. Pay as you go never goes lame. Neither the borrower nor lender keeps many friends. Envy throws vitriol at that which it cannot emulate. It is easier to drown in a race pool than in a horse pond. It is not the doctor's business to give a clean bill of health. There is a radical difference between aiming low and low aims. If you wish to call critical attentiou to your station, dress above it. Don't lend your umbrella- unless you can borrow fair weather in return. There is more heavenly music in one good act than in a hundred hymns. Ambition should consider that the pyramids are but punctuation points in the world's history. It is not necessary to look sour iu or der to prove that you are enjoying the sweets of religion.

STATT3 JOTJRXA-L. FRIDAY EVEOTXGk AUGUST 3. 189 4. IlIIYTHHIG WILL 00. Cleveland Will Faro? Any Kind of Tariff Compromise. House and Senate Almost as Far Apart as Ever. SENATE STANDS FIRM. House On the Other Hand De clines Propositions. WAfHnfOTOV, Aug:. 3. The tariff eoiiferrees made two ineifectual at tempts to get tog-ether yesterday. Uoth senate and house eoiiferrees, however, declare that a tariff bill will be forthcoming- in a few days. Yesterday's hitch was over the sugar schedule. No less than thirty propo sitions were submitted an l rejected. They ran the entire raa;e of news paper discussion as to probable sugar compromises, and after it free discus sion there was nothing- to indicate that any material change from the senate schedule was possible. But equally important were the develop ments coacercinff coal aid iron ore. The house coaferrees Lave b.-ea forced to the conclusion that the house sentiment is not suiliciently strong- to enable them to secure free coal and iron ore at the risk of defeating- the bill. Upon this proposi tion the president has be-jn emphatic, but the fact stands forth that in the South and West, where the Demo cracy must look for its vct?s, there is no strong sjntitm-nt in favor of either j free coal or free iron ore. 'With the i entire country demanding- some kind of a tariff bill the Representatives are j disposed to yield on these demands. There are other scheduljs more im- j portant to them, and by an insistanca upon free coal and iron o -e the housa places itself at a disadvantage by having to yield on all oth :v schedules in order to secure two m which it is not especially interested. The house conft rrees do not dare to give the houie a chance to vote on the bill. This was apparent from the story which benatur Brice brought from the conference room. lie told a i half dozen correspondents waiting- to see him that the senate conferrals bad submitted two propositions to the I bouse conference managers. First, the ten-ite managers asked that the bill, w.th the senate amend ments, be submitted to the houe to be voted upon. This the house man agers absolutely refused to do. As a second proposition, tr.e senate man agers asked permission to submit the Wilson bill to the senate, and this proposition was also declined. 'I he reasons f r both inclinations were apparent to evervons conversant with the situation. The house man agers knew that three-fo it ths of the Democratic members are anxious to accept the senate bill and go home. A revenue duty on sugar cannot now be avoided, and there is no heart in a tight for coal and iron ore, which alone aids the New England manu factures. The great beneficiary of the free coal schedule would be the Canadian company, the concern re cently capitalized for 20,000,000, to flood the Atlantic coast with Nova JScotia coal as soon as it is placed on the free list. This growing sentiment in favor of accepting the senate bill was clearly shown in the house. Just after the house adjourned, one of the congress men remarked to another: "1 will venture that if you submit the propo sition squarely to the twenty-live Democratic congressmen here as to whether or not they are unxious to .take the senate bill and tnd this con troversy, three-fourths of them would vote yes." It was suggested that a .poll be taken. There Aero thirty congressmen present instsad of twenty-live and eighteen of the number were anxious to tahe the senate bilL It will be impossible to hold the bouse much longer. If the eoiiferrees do not come to terms tho house will demand that a report of some kind be made, and having once secured an op portunity for voting, it viil pass the senate bill and Lave the controversy ended. It is rumored that the president is J.o-.v willing to make any compromise it is possible to etlect. Th.s attitude of certain representati ves who were dogmatic and determined a few days a?o. but now who urge :t settlement of the controversy at all hazards con firm this report. iienator Smith has left with Senator Murphy for Saratoga. Neither cava au indication as to wh n hj would re turn, but it is intimated t iat they had completed their legislative delibera tions for the session. If the tariff bill is to be defeated. Smith and Murphy will do it. Murphy left his pair with Chandler with the under standing that the cenferrees were to be backed if they stood firm. Farther than this, nothing can be learned. The significance of this anion is that these senators do not prooose to sub mit to anv jugg-linc? with t he bilL To-day it is more clearly manifest than ever before that there will b? no material changes in the sugar, coal or iron ore schedules.

Owing to a sort of accident, as Is sup posed, though some members of the house take another v.ew of it, certain figures heretofore aim rig the first to come out are in tiiis census to bo anions the very lust. The bulletin which pives the total number of Itirw rers in the L'nited Slates ar ci t he number engaged in each special occupation i-i eagerly sought for anil is now tein j mace up. The delay, accord ing to the expert of the census office, is due to tin fact that the department hr..s dune so much mere and collected so many more facts than ever before; that every thing had to I t! jrono over two or three time:, and every doubtful point cleared up before, linal takulHtion. The net result is tl.nt congressional agitators will not bo abio to pet figures for use this session and may ro: even s:ct them in time to use dur tbo campaign. The I'netiiployed. Tlio facts airc -idy tabulated, however, present very ii:Tvrent conclusions from thobO p.iven in popular rhetoric. Instead cf there leing millions cf laborers with out, employment" it appears doubtful if there are half :i million that is, cf people who habitus!!- labor in pood timer, and Instead of the. country being ""overrun by tramt V they f.re comparatively rare crea tures. In fact, unless a great many pco 1:1. j aro lying-, there are. largo sections of tli is country in which ti tramp is a curiosi ty, and hi three-fourths cf the south tlure are jh idlers except thoso who never work anyhow. As to farm labor, it would bo very hard f ,r a man to tako the figures now going through t!iepr.;, end which congressmen will be able to frank to their constituents before they leave here, and prove that tho country is any liss prosperous than it was in ts'.'u or 1 SfSt The main truth is that there is a great lowering of prices all around, and that makes t he figures smaller and presumably makes it hard on debtors. The abstract; cf the census just out is a document col pressmen will iitudy wiih some caro during vacation, for it is dol lars to dou jbmitj that there will be the biggest kind of a row about this census next winter, Some of; the figures are ob viously wrong and ere admitted to be so though the thleials hero tabulated them from the local reports, and no one can toll why the latter tell bo far short of the truth. Tlio points of manifest error, m lcss human nature changed very suddenly about a dozu years ago, aro in the enu meration in New York city and two or three, southern states, especially in the color. el population. Takinp it by decades, the colored people are represented as hav ing increased about 21 percent in lt-50-oO, y per cent ir. liiCO-70, over 35 per cent in 1S70-a0 and but 13.M,' per cent in 1S6U-90, which is self evident nonsense. Ten Thousand JVtorc Pensioners. Of the great mass of bills rushed through by the house, and which the senate is now rushing through almost as rapidly, cer tainly not mere than 1 in 20 is of national interest, but the committee's have sum marized the results with an approach cf accuracy. I; is estimate! that ail tho bills libt raiding tho pension laws will make it possible to add some 10,0'JO pen sioners to tho roils, but it may exceed thut. The lit t result of a score cr mora of tiiis and resolutions on the labor question Is that one first class commission, with Commissioner Wright at the heatl of it, is now at work, anel a few fellows aro tak inp testimony in a feeble way from some of the standi ig committees of congress. The; subcommittee, of thelumso commit ted immigration lias reported strongly in favor of Mr. Lock wood's bill, and as tho full committer will probably support it i" stands a chance at the next session. It forbids latcrers from Canada anel Mex ico to cross t ic line and work on tempo rary contracts, whether for a day or a. year, and forbids shipowners from employing them in any capacity whatever. It also provides that alien laborers coming to this country are to be examirieel at the perfc of entry and net Allowed to land unless they possess $75 cae h or 530 for minors and makes stringent rules about immigrant wottien. Sonui of the committee say that it is too stro i a measure for them to in dorse if the trouble can bo pot at in any other way, but admit that the sentiment is pre-tty strong in i favor and something must be don?. Liberal I'ublic Bulletins Policy. Another movement for liberalizing things in ;re leral is the McKaip bill, which the committee on public buildings lias ap proved, and which provides that public buildings are to be designed on the basis of free competition among architects aud built' on a n.ore liberal system than here tofore. All sorts of plans have been sug gested for n aking government contracts in other lines more democratic. Inciden tally the very latest report from the bureau of navigation in the treasury department shows that during the last fiscal year there were built ia the United States 63S wotei en sailing vessels of 87,719 tons, 308 wood en steam vessels of 44,158 tons, three iron and steel sailing vessels of 4,750 tons and 45 iron and steel steam vessels of 47,710 tons, an ag;iregate of 42,400 in tonnage of sailers and 31,34 in tonnage of steamers. Other reports just issued show in a gen eral way considerable decrease in tho pro duction cf metals and a great decrease in the consumption of many kinds of manu factured goods. Ko Excitement Over the Asiatic War. u.ljn woii.d naturally have expected the China-Japanese trouble to creato excite ment here, but it hasn't. It had been dis counted in advance. Xor has the Blue fields incident and Nicaragua trouble gen erally distracted attention frjm the tariff inabroglio. There is real grief, however, in many minds because the promoters of the Nicaragua canal have at last abandon ed hope of doiir anything here and gone to England to nugoiiato. CLOVER CHANCES COLORS. The Malodoroat Pop. Kx-Ltreeler Decide to 1 lee' o roe a Kepubtic.in. Ex-CoDgresstn in Ben II. Clover, late of Cowley county, has come eiut in an open letter renouncing Populism and announcing- his return to the Repullicaus. Clover came into prominence as the first presielent of the Kaunas Farmers' Alliance, having- been re-elected ia 1888. lie heid the position until October, 1890, when he was the Populist candidate for congress in the Third district agaiust Bishop W. Perkins, and at the election he received a large majority. In 1373 Clover joined the Greenback party, but subsequently returned to the .Republicans. In 1S&S he again left the party and became the Union labor candi date for the legislature. lie ouly re ceived 000 votes in the district. Clover only served one term in con gress and when he asked fur h renomin ation he was defeated ty Jeff Hudson. His congressional career was terminated by a scandal in which his typewriter was a prominent ligure. His wife theu ap plied for a divorce, lu her petition, among other things, sho charged him with cruelty. 1 he divorce was granted and Clover married the typewriter. He has been a farmer, but for some time has been in the live stock commission busi ness in Kansas City. Owing to his malodorous personal reputation he is not coasidered much of an acquition by the Republican.. Ho gives tho following reasons for leaving the Populists: "As tor me, I publicly state that I can no longer affiliate with the Populist par ty and maintain my self respect. I can never support the Democratic party, be cause I ilo not believe in its principles, I shall therefore, go back to my old party, the Republican party. The Republican party has a matchless history. It has given our nation its greatest reforms and its greatest statesmen. The defeats which, it has suiTered for the last four years in our state have brought it to a real ization of the nece-ssities of purity in its methods, aud taught it that if it expects the support of the mass us it must be the champion of purity and refcu-m. While the Republican party is more conserva tive tiiau Iain on liuaucial matters, yet I believe that through it we can se cure liaancial reft mis. The public utter ances of its uational lea iers lead me to this belief. As one of the old Republi cans who went into the Populist party in 189 hoping for relief. 1 believe that we can secure the ueedeel reforms better in the Republican par.y than any other. We dou't want anarchy; we doa't want socialism. We want simply just recog nition of the rights of the farming and laboring masses. I have eonlidence that the Republican party is now willing to grant us these rights, and for tais cam paign 1 shall give my influence ia its be half, believing that if i: is successful it will listen to the voice of the people and p.ive them the justice and equity which they demand." GEO. R. PECK IN IT. One of tta Lenders in tlie Proposed Ills; Labor Conference. Chicago, Av.g, 3. The special com mittee at pointed by the civic federation to consider the advisability of calling a national conference, tif representative men to consider the labor question, and the question of arbitration iu particular, has taken counsel of some of the leading business men and prominent trade union ists of the city. The decision was aimo-t unanimous in favor of the proposed conference. The special committee is composed of A. W. fcmull, K. O. Keith, Mrs. Potter Palmer, M. J. Carroll. J. J. Ryan, A. C. Bartiett and George R. Peck. Those who attendeei the preliminary meeting of the civic federation were President Lymau J. Gajre, M. J. Carroll, chairman, and I'rof. A V. Small, John J. Ryan and 11. G.

"The further purposo of tho congress would be to compare method of concili ation already employed in this and for eign countries, with a view to recom mending the most practicable features of all. "The committee wishes to get the atl vice of representative men upon the matter to be treated in its report. You are, therefore, earnestly requested to meet the committee, vi:h about twenty five other gentlemen to whom this invi tation has been extended, Tuesday, July 31, at the Commerce club, Auditorium building, at 8 p. in., and to express your views upon the following points: "1. Is such a congress advisable? "i Will you give the civic federation your moral support in organizing a con gress? "3. What suggestions can you offer about desirable scope or limitations of the subjects to be discussed? "4. Will you mentioa men who should be invited to take part in tho congress? "In case it is practicable for you to meet the committee, will you not express in writing your views upon the point3 indicated? "Any opinions elicited at the meeting or expressed ia writing will not be given to the public, it being the purpose of the committee solely to get ttie Le3t advice of those whom it deems most deeply in terested."

There were few peo ple around the palace of justice, when the trial of Santo, the assassin of Presi dent Carnot, was resumed today. The court regulations and military guard were the same as yesterday. The prisoner was escorted into the dock hand culled to two gens d'armes, and with two more bringing up the rear. The prisoner seemed even more defiant than yester day anel took his ieat with a mocking smile upon his face. Leblanc, tho soldier who was a fellow prisoner with Cesario at Marseilles, testi fied that Cesario told him that he in tended to kill President Carnot, probably at Lyons, when the chief magistrate vis ited that city. "That is a lie," interrupted Cesario, excitedly. "I never told you or anyone else anything about my plans." Leblanc continued: "Cesario confessed to me that he was designated by lot." "That is untrue," shrieked Cesario. "How untrue," asked the judge, turn ing to the prisoner. I said to you," said Cesario, address ing Leblanc, "afier you had made that remark, 'But who would be so bold as to kill President Carnot? I saw him in Paris surrounded by troops and police.' You answered, 'He will be chosen by lot.'" There was great excitement in court while the prisoner and Leblanc were speaking to each other. Later Leblanc said: "Cesario told me that he had often seen King Humbert in the streets, but he added that to kill him it would be necessary to have a rifle and shoot him from the street, as he would be so surrounded by soldiers." "That is a lie," shouted the prisoner. "I was never chosen to kill President Carnot. Moreover, absolute liberty of action prevails among anarchists." The prosecuting attorney reviewed at length all the details of the trial and de mauded that the jury should not hesitate to do its dut'. M. Breuiilac, counsel for the defense, followed and made an appeal for the prisoner. At noon the jury retired and after an absence of about fifteen minutes, during which there was considerable excitement in court, the jury returned, announced a verdict of guilty without extenuating circumstances. The presiding then pronounced judge, M. Breuiilac, the sentence of death by the guillotine. When the death sentence was uttered, Cesario exclaimed: "Vive la revolution sociale.' 1 ho prisoner was immediately seized and hurried toward his cell. As he left the court room, Cesario cried: "Courage comrades;" "vive l'anarchie. In spite of the prisoner's detiant atti elioappe;ired sentence of mae ins habitual sm: from his face when death was pronounced. Al. Dubruellac, the prisoners counsel gave notice of appeal and in so doing asked that the presiding judge's charge to the jury, at the peniug of the ses sion, be entered on the records. THE SHAFFER WILL CASE, i Xt In XaksD From tlio Probate Court to tlie District tour An appenl from the probate court to the elistrict court was filed today in the matter of the etate of the late Howard S. Shaffer. Mr. Shaffer lived near Lin coln and Fifth streets, and committed sui cide about five months ago. In his will he left all of his estate, vaiued at about filo.UUO, to his wife, Margaret Shaffer, except $5 which he left to his daughter Mrs. Olive Spencer, and $o to each of her three children. The vviil stipulated that Mrs. Shaffer should be the sole ex ecutrix of the estate. Mrs. Spencer contested the will on the ground tiiat her father was not of sound mind when the will was executed. Judge Kiliott after several hearings of the case, concluded that Mr. Shaffer was not of sound mind. The widow, Mrs. Margaret Shaffer, is the plaintiff in the appeal case. She will endeavor to prove that her husband was of sound mind, and ca pable of attending to his business af fairs at the lima the will was signed, which was a year prior to his death.

Booker, the colored orator and educa tor, was the principal attraction at the Monona Laice assembly last night with his lecture on "Tne Best Method of Overcoming the Negro Problem." He gave a graphic and concise history of his race in tlie country, an analysis of its abilities and weaknesses, and a de scription of the disadvantages it is under freim generations of slavery aud the prej udices existing against it in the south. Tho workings of the normal and indus trial institute for colored people under his direction at Tuskogee, Ala., were de fined by him, and he gave as the proper solution of the race problem the educa tion of the negroes, the accumulation of property by them sure to follow and in cidentally the teaching of them in re ligious knowledge.

Is hla race for congreia Budd Doble will doubtless point with pride to the record of Nancy Hanks. This time Chicago's tire was not at the World'3 fair grounds perhaps there is nothing niare left there to burn. Faith, hope and charity may have been factors ia Senator Kelly's flop to the Pops, but the greatest of those is the board of charities. The statement that Cosario U3ed to figure iu street parades beause of his beauty, is apt to be receive I with several grains of allowance. If the trial of the assassin Cesario should not prove quite as spicy as ex pected the blatue must be placed on the judge's blue pencil. The indorsement of Cleveland by Iowa Democrats is only oae of many thiugs that show how littla they expect from this year's election. The report of the senate bribery com mittee is just what might have been ex pected when a body of uneu are delegat ed to investigate themselves. Bcdd DiiHLE shouldn't estimate too lightly his Populist opuoneat in the cam paign for congress. He has driven in too many races not to knew how much wind counts. When Congressman Lafe Pence comes to help Jerry Simpson in his campaign be should bo asked to explain why, if congress is such a nice place, he doesn't want to go back again. The disturbance of the tomb of An drew Jackson was probably only that helpless old man turning over in his grave at Borne of the references to him lu recent Democratic platftrms. Congress max Bryan has become the editor of a newspaper to boom himself for the senatorship. Until the campaign is over the people will naturally read seme other paper for the nsws. If the Populists of this state needed any fxample of thorough whitewashing executed in bold, masterful strokes they would need only take the joo just fin ished by the senate committee. It would take only about one mere Democratic convention, indorsing this adaiiuistratijn as wise and patriotic and the exemplification of Democratic prin ciples, tocause a big upheaval at Thomas Jefferson's grave. Senatob. Qcat with the calmest as surance admitted that he dealt ia sugar stocks and didn't expect to stop, o of course he was ignored In the bribery committee report. It was opposed to ieaatorial courtesy. Representatives of the sugar trust visited senators for the purpose of influ encing legislation, the bill was changed Just as they would have it changed, but Jh,j senators say they were not actuated by improper motives, and the senators are honorable men. Ths senate committee deprecates the "importunity and pressur? brought to bear on congress" as tending to create a "belief ia the public mini in the exist ence of corrupt politics." Poor, inno cent lambs, let the dangerous wolf Ioflu i?..ce be removed at once. Mayor Pino Kfc.E of Detroit has bolted the Republican party because the meth od used to nominate Goveraor Rich were too corrupt. Mr. Piagree should have made known his desire to be the candi date for governor sooner and perhaps he would have received more consideration. NOT long ago Secretary Gresham sent tli blundering message to Japan giving B3 an excuse our large interests in Corea and China. Now tn s country s elected as a protector of Chinese citi strjs in Japan and Japanese citizens in Ciina because of Its absolute impartiality ac i disinterestedness.

The Minneapolis, the Fastest Cruiser A font, Recently Earned a lJonnaof S414.60O F01 Her Builders How an F.tra Qnartei Knot May Savo t tie Ooveriiuuent Million. It costs Uncle Sam many a barrel ot money to possess the fastest crnicrs and commerce destroyers on the seas; but, although they come hih, he feels that he must have 'em. When it was an nounced recently that the new 23. 073 knot cruiser Minnc-tipolis, the fastest warship afloat, had, by developing speed far beyond the contract stipulation, earned a premium for her builders of 414,600; which would increase her cost from $2,090,000 to $3, 1 04, 00 J, many persons doubtless wondered why the government should pay very well f jr a ship and then donate ever $400,000 to her builders because they had turned out a good job. The question is ona that is easily answered. Our commerce de.-troyers are built more for sweeping the merchant vessels of aa enemy from the sea than fordoing any great amount of fighting, and on the principle that he who fights and runs away will Jive to fight another day the faster the cruisers ere the better they will bs able to run away when an enemy cf too heavy caliber looms up in pursuit on tha horizon. In such an emergency the fZO, 0C0 that has been paid iVr an extra quarter of a knot of speed tuny result in saving to tho country a 3,000C0u ship. An other view of the situation is that, nj matter what merchant vessel cr cruiser of equal fighting ability the commerce tiustiuyer may pursue, she id ecre to fv A :,V1 THE CRUISER MnrXIAPOLia. overhaul tho valuable prey. During the Revolutiou and the war of 1812 supe rior speed on the part of our war ves sels was a great factor in their success. In the first year of the war for Amer ican independence the Yankee wnrship Providence, under the command of gal lant John Paul Jones, time and again escaped capture by her ability to outsail the pursuing British frigates. Good sailing also enabled the Reprisal to escape a British ship of line and con tinue her depredations along the English coast in 1777, and superior speed alono allowed the Lexington, Surprise an i Re venge to remain in English waters and sweep away the enemy's commerce in that memorable conflict. During the war of 1813 the United States navy of barely 17 efficient ships was pitted against 1,000 vessels of the British, and yet by superior speed stxh famous Yankee cruisers as the Presi dent, Essex, Chesapeake, Wasp, Pea cock, Enterprise, Siren and Adams scoured the seas where Britannia was supposed to rule and inflicted unprece dented loss upon the king's commerce. In one cruise the Adams was chased five times by British frigates of superior armament and at one titae remained within gnnshot for 40 hours before the succeeded in getting away. How valu able then was even an extra quarter of a knot of speed In 1815 the Hornet was chased for 72 hours by the 74 gun ship of line Cornwal lis. Commander Diddle lightened ship by throwing overboard arms, powder and about every movable thing aboard, but he finally succeeded in eluding his big pursuer. At another time the Re prisal escaped by sawing away her bul warks and throwing overboard her gnus and shot. She at once refitted and con tinued her career of destruction. Run ning away, however, was not all c ur gallant ships did, fcr during the first seven months of the war of 1812 they captured over 00 British armed vessels, 2o0 merchantmen and 8,000 piisoners. The premium and penalty system, which has given the navy suoh excel lent ships, was introduced by Secretary Whitney. Since then 17 vessels have earned in premiums the big sum of $2, 204,586, according to the New York Snn, and vessels awaiting trial will increase the sum to an even 3, G00.0C0. Among the 10 contract ships remaining to be tried is the torpedo boat Ericsson, which must show a speed of 24 knots. She will receive $2,500 for every quar ter knot she makes above 24, and if she exceeds 23 knots $3,500 per quarter be yond that point. She will probably dis place the .Minneapolis as the navy's fastest ship. The ram Katadin will re ceive $15,000 for each quarter knot be yond the contract stipulation of 17 knots, and the gnr.boc.ts Penguin, Al batross and Porpoise are to get $;0,0J0 for a full knot in excess of the contract speed. The battleships Indiana, Oregon and Massachusetts, built f or fighting and not running away, will receive $25,0 30 per quarter knot above 15 knots. The gunboat Castine earned $50, 000 pre mium and the ilacl.ias and Barton ft 45, 000 each. In tho case of all these ships similar deductions are made pro vided they fail to develop contract Bpeed. The Minneapolis is 412 fett long, 53 feet beam, 22 feet 6 y2 inches draft and displaces 7. 350 tons.

Cody (Buffalo Bill) and Nate Palsbury, his partner, were re cently ele vated to the thirty-second degree of .Masonry. Thirteen of the presidents of the United States were Masons. They were Wash ington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Jack Bon, William II. Harrison, Tyler, Polk, Tavlor, Pierce, Buchanan, Johnson and Garfield. Masonry was not intended for the crowd. It is a self evident fact that a Mason ia born, for he cannot be made into one by any human ingenuity. You may preach to him, obligate him all you will, but if the Masonic principle is not there it can not be forced into him. If the work and lecture in the E. A. are ilurred over hastily and in a perfunctory manner, the newly made brother is de prived of the instruction for which he haa already paid. Sir William IT. S. Wright is grand com mnnder and Sir Thomas Montgomery grand recorder of tho grand commander of Minncseta. We can only admit those among us who will subscribe to the tru3 teachiegsof Ma tonry, among which is tolerance, forbear tnoe and respect to the opinions of others, so lorg as these do not conflict with the moral code or the laws of God and man. Sir William J. McMakin is grand com mander and Sir William H. Holt grand recorder of the grand commandery of South Dakota. The twenty-fifth annual session of the prnnd chapter of New Jersey, Order of the Pastern Star, will be held at Newark Sept. 19.

Troy, supreme master workman: J. E. Riggs, supreme f jreman; J. G. Tate, supreme overseer; 51. W. Sackett, supreme recorder; J. J. Acker, supreme receiver; W. C. Richard son, supreme medical examiner. It was voted by the supreme lodge to set aside $10,000 to employ organizers in weak jurisdictions. When amendments, laws, etc., are or dered changed by the supremo master workman during recess, such changes do not become operative until re-enacted by the grand lodge from which they came. The law is positive that a brother is not entitled to sit in a lodge without tho semi annual password. The supreme lodge deeided that an ap peal cannot bo prosecuted from a member direct to tho supreme master workman, but must go to the supreme lodgo for ac tion. RED MEN.

LODUSKTE WATSINS' CASE. liar Two Thonaod Dalian Withheld from &T on Saapiclon. A case has been filed in the district court seeking to recover $2,000 from the Masonic Mutual Benefit society of Kan sas, of which Dr. L. C. Wasson ia the president and Daniel C. Nellis is secre tary. In some respects the case seems liable to become highly interesting. Mrs. Loduskye Watkiaa, the widow of the late John W. Watkins of Brown county is the plaintiff in the case, and her story as told through her attorneys, llerrick Lynch, is an unusual one even for the district court, 1 he story as told in the petition is in substance as follows: Mr. Watkins joined the aiasonic bene fit society October 18, 183. Ho was then 49 years of age. lie died April 15 last from the effects of poison "administered by persons unknown," the coroner's jury said. A short time before his death, about a month before, Mr. Watkins was induced to send his insurance certificate back to Topeka and have it changed so that the beneficiaries should be not his wife but his sons. This was done, and the certificate was returned. The sous are diaries J., William, Roy J. and Gree ley Watkins. Mrs. Watkins claims the sous accomplished this change in the in surance papers by duress; that they used threats uud fraud which so weighed upon the mind of Mr. Watkius that he made the change through fear. His mysterious deatn shortly afterwards looks suspicious, and although the peti tion does not lay special stress oa this phase of the case, it is liable to be a prominent feature of the triaL Mrs. Watkins contests the payment of the policy to the sons not only on the grounds of duress, but also on the propo sition that when they were married the husband entered into au agreement to iusure his life in the Bum of $2,00 She claims to be able to prove both of these claims. Mrs. Watkin3 has presented her claim to the Masonic Benefit society but as the policy did not read in her favor it was refused. The society is a sound one and amply able to meet all its obligations, and is hoidiag back the money until tho courts determine who of the claimants is entitled to tiie $2,000. Mrs. Watkins asks the court for judg ment frutn tho Masonic Beuefit society for $2,000 aad costs of the action. WAS NOT A FAST HORSE. Suit Krousht By m Man Who Paid $1, 30 For It. John W. Banks bought a horse of W. H. Wasson last winter that wa3 repre sented to be capable of attaining a high rate of speed witu proper training, lie pa.d $l,Sio0 for the horse and after train ing it several mouths concludes it can neither trot, pace nor run and isn't worth to exceed $75 or $100, so he has com menced a suit in the district court to re cover the price of fne horse with interest at six per cent, from January 1st. Mr. Banks claims that when he bought the mare she was represented to be of extra-tiue breeding aud although never trained a3 a racer could be developed into a swift one with proper training. He claims it was stipulated at the time that if after reasonable trial the animal was fouud to be unsatisfactory she could be returned and the money refunded. Mr, Banks hired an experienced trainer wiio has been working with the alleged fast horse ever siuce last winter, and he has given it as his opinion that it isn't Worth $100. Mr. BanKs claims to have demanded the $1,250 from Mr. Wasson aad whs refused. He therefore asks judgment in the sum named. Ovor myer isenhart are the plaintiff's at torneys. TU1JF TOPICS.

That I Why W Are Concerned In the Dif ficulty Between Nicaragua and tha Mos quito Indians Historic Interest of the Mosquito Coast. The international complication at BluefieMs, in Nicaragua, has been some what of a puzzle to newspaper readers not particularly well posted in Central Americ;a affairs. It was well enough understood from the dispatches that the Nicaragnan government or its represent ative, General Lacayo, had overthrown the Mosquito government, but just why the United States and England should get mixed np in the affair was not eas ily apparent to those who did not know that England has for years asserted a virtual protector ate over the Mosquito Indians, and that American citizens had developed practically all the industries and commerce of the country. Though the Mosquito country is with in the territorial limits of Nicaragua, the Indians, who have occupied it from time immemorial, have always been practically independent and have been absolutely so since I860, when England made a treaty with Nicaragua by which they were guaranteed the right of self government. Under this treaty the Nic aragnan government was permitted to senel a commissioner into the Mosquito country to look out for its interests, but T V ROBERT HENRY CLARENCE. was not to disturb the local government cf the Indians so long as they did not interfere with tho sovereign powers of the republic After this treaty had been made the Indians and all the inhabitants of Blue fields, which had sprung up as a sea port town on the Caribbean coast, held a general council and adopted a constitu tion providing for a republican form of government, divided into executive, leg islative and judicial departments. Tho new government began its administra tion Sept. 12, 1861, and has sine been tho sole source of authority in the Mos quito reservation. In 1881 some enterprising Americans went down there and began the cultiva tion and exportation of tropical fruits, leasing land for their plantations from the Mosquito government. Gold was discovered, and the Americans did not hesitate to invest their capital in the mines. The cutting and shipping of ma hogany and other valuable woods and also the india rubber trade developed into an extensive commerce. In tho gold, hard wood and rubber industries alone Americans have $2, 000, 000 of cap ital invested. Twelve years ago the commerce of the Mosquito reservation amounted to noth ing, and now the volume of trado amounts to $4, 000, 000 annually. Twelve steamers ply between Blnefields and the southern ports of the United States, making 24 voyages each month. Two million bunches of bananas are export ed annually, besides the large quantities of mahogany, gold dust, rubber and co coanuts, and all to the United States. The United States send back in return 25,000 half barrels of flour annually, be sides large quantities of beans, lard, pork, beef, com, rice and many other products. The Mosquito government is controlled by the following officials: The chief and president is Robert Henry Clarence, a Mosquito Indian, 22 years old. The vice president is a half breed Indian of tho name of Patterson. The treasurer is a German of the name of Burgenhagen, who is the head man of the Moravian church. The attorney general is J. W. Cuthbert, a Jamaican negro, who is as black as coal and who is a subject of Great Britain. The supreme court is composed of Stephen Hodgson, a native Mosquito; John Taylor, a native of Co lumbia, South America, and John O. Thomas, another Jamaican negro, who is a British subject. The management of public affairs has not been entirely satisfactory. The British lion's paw was altogether too fre quently observable in the administra tion of affairs to suit the American resi dents; of whom there are five times aa many as cf all other foreign nationalities combined. It was under the pretense of reforming things that Lacayo proclaimed martial law and attempted the role of dictator. Tho Mosquito coast is historically in teresting as the place where Columbus made his first landing on the continent four centuries ago. His landing place, which he named Cabo de Gracias a Dins (Cape of Thanks to God), is at the north em boundary of what is now the Mos quito reservation, a strip of territory ex tending some 200 mile3 along tho Carib bean coast and averaging about 35 miles in width. The friendly Indians whom Columbus found there, and who received him with cordial hospitality, were the progenitors of the Mosquitoes of today. They were inoffensive, sleepy children of nature, who had never learned the utility of exertion, because ample sus tenance was provided for them by na ture without the asking.

PAID A f I J 11E SEES THE SHOPMEN Whaley Talks to Santa FeMen For the First Tima SOCE THEY TUKSED 03 THE HOSE. He TeIlAIIesed'-lDil(leFeti''W'hich Ite Mays He Learned Before lie JLeft the Republicans. The Populist county campaigners are making a strong play for votes in the Santa Fe shops precinct. They held' a meeting over in that end of town last night and played their trump card, E. B. Whaley. It was Mr. Whaley'a first ap pearauce before an audience of shopmen since they turned the hose on him. The Republicans would as soon have used vinegar to catch flies as Mr. Whaley to make votes in the Santa Fe precinct; but the Populist are sort of vice versa anyhow and go on the "last shall be tirot" and "a lutle one shall head them" principles, and Mr. Whaley was right in it. The meeting was held at the house of Levi Hammond at 1103 East Sixth street. T'aere were some voiers present who ap peared anxious to hear the leading is sues of the day discussed, but they were outnumbered by the bad boy3 smoking cigarettes, and other children. 1L 11. Brown of the Ottawa Journal, who, if he went to as many prayer meet ings as he does Pop meetings, would be a regular i. L. Moody, presided. Mr. Whaley was the principal speaker, and after talking about things in general was not long in getting onto the subject of profound secrets of Republican corrup tion, most of which, he sai i, he was told by Senator Sterne. Ho said, in part: "i was for Kd Hocn for governor. I believed tuat wttli a new ou.tit of candi dates and by weed.ug out the Bill Hig gmes the party might get along. But when they put Cy Lclaud at the nead of the central commitieo I gave up all hope. 1 havo nothing personal against Jlr. Eelaud; it is all political. Alter the election oi iy2, wheu votes were needed badly, he was asked what Doniphan county would do. He replied: 'Domphan will do her share towards making up the discrepancy.' At tho same electioa when the returns indicated that the Re publican ticket was about B.UOO short. I was asKed uy Jim Simpson wtiat Shaw nee would 'do.' Bill Higgius stood be side me and shook his head. 1 replied that the returns of Shawnee could not be ciiuuged. "1 Know that the Santa Fe railway fur nished money in lbtci to carry the legis lature fur the Republicans in order to prevent any anti-railroad legislation. I happen to Know that $l.iW0 of Santa Fe money was ued in Senator Ed Berry's district alone. George R. Peck was be hiud the Republican slate ceutral com muiee all the time, and directed the cam paign, and poor Jim Bimpsou, the wheel noise of the party, had uoiniug to say about it. "mure was a Republican in the house named Gree-iiee wno runs a wholesale grocery house in Hutchin son, lie Was elected on the issue that lie should get decent freight rates for Wichita and Hutcuiuson. But Peck patied him on his back aai got a lot more Republicans to pat him on the back and made him itnuK he would get the nomination for congress in the Seveuth district if he would let his bill drop, so he dropped it. T'ne Populists tried to get a maximum freight, bill through the house, like the one iu Iowa, wuich Justice Brewer, a railroad judge, has deeded since was unconstitutional." Changing the subject Mr. Whaley con tinued, "1 Know one note-shaver iu town who told the tax-assessor his property was worth $800, who can draw a cneck for $30,000 that will be cashed at any bank. 1 know another money-shark in 'lopeka who returned hia wealth at sfoOO, who shortly after paid $14,000 cash tor a piece of property, which he took out of his private safe and had 20,OOJ more there. "A great deal has been said lately about me alleged scandals at the various state charitable institutions. There are some bad men amoug them, it would be moie surprising if there not, but I want to say to you that they are run as well as a new Republican administration could hope to run them. So far as the charges of corruption are concerned they have fallen very flat indeed. "Sam Gardenhire, the clerk of your district court, is feathering his nest juet as his predecessor Bill Sterne did. 1 liey have both made from 3,000 to 10,000 a year. Those two men put up the seueuie by whicu the Shawnee county circuit court is in existence, which costs the state $10,. 0J a year. They both had caes pending in which they had fees, and they got the circuit court so they could be settled and get their money more speedily. Isow Gardenhire is run ning for another office before his term is up. What can you expect of such a Frank Stevens, candidate for county commissioner, and E. E Chesney, also made speeches. H. II. Brown in closing the meeting said the Populists intended to hold meetings at the same place frequently duriug the campaign. He recommended that every one present should read Senator Kelly's letter, pub lished in the Journal, and laid special stress on the fact that the Republican state ticket was composed of two bank ers, one teacher and five lawyers, while the Populists have only two lawyers and no bankers on their ticket. All of the Republican cand. dates for congress are lawyers, but only one of the Populist aspirants in this direction is a lawyer. THE POLICE 1I0MANCE. A. Pleasant Horns I:stnrbd Again A. Ttilef, a tojtg. auil koui fgddltri. Officer Capron had an exciting time yesterday aftercooa. John Mayweather, colored, had taken unlawful possession of a set of harness that belonged to T. E Bowman. Mr. Capron caught May weatuer and was bringing him to the station. When in front of Simpson's commission house ou the avenue May weatuer broke away.dropped the harness which he had iu the sack and uiaJa a bold dash for liberty. His bold dash didn't carry him more than three or four blocks before Capron caught him and took him along with a firmer grip than before. Ha appeared ia court this morning and pleaded not guilty. As the case was not quite ready for trial it was tostooned till Monday morning. Omenta White was in court this morn ine. Oinenia hails from H amego, and is a vtry innocent you;h. lie is either very, very tuiuuiu or decidedly gullible. He had hardly struck town yesterday when he began to feel the need of a cig arette to quiet his nerves. He began asking for one, and one magnanimous friend whose name he has forgotten gave him a five dollar bill to buy a box of the dude destroyers. When he pre sented the bill "to de lady fer de cigger rets" he was pained and surprised to dis cover that it was nothing but a three dol lar shoe bill an advertisement. The valiant police immediately arrested Ome nia for trying to pass counterfeit money. Omenia made the matter clear to the judge this morning, however, and was discharged. The case of Mrs. Kiernan was next called. Mrs. Kiernan lives on east Fourth street, and had been rudely ac costed the other night by divers parties in a hack. The hackmen whom she had named in the case heard that a warrant was out for them and felt so innocent about it that they came right down and give themselves up to the police. Ed Travis says he wasn't there because he was sick. Frank Hen dricks was also a willing prisoner. Both Mrs. Kiernan and her cousin were in court. But they didn't identify the men on the bench, bo the men were dis charged. The police are now doing all in their power to bring to justice the guilty persons. The children will be very indignant to learn that Mr. Sc.jtt, the ice cream man, has been arrested for peddling the frozen bliss without having asked the city clerk about it. His case has been continued till Tuesday. O. F. Stewart is also in trouble for monkeying with the city license law, and his case has been held over till Monday. Mr. Hungate then slammed the docket book together and went home. P. E. COOK CORRESPONDS. He Has a X-engtliy Currfapoodinoi Wltli Judge Caldwell A b u l Wag-e. The day after the lockout at the Santa Fe shops on July 2nd at a mass meeting of the A R. U. in this city, a committee of the laid off men was appointed head ed by P. E. Cook, to call on Treasurer Wilder, of the road, and find out when the employes would receive the two month's pay then due them. Mr. Wilder at that time d.d not kuow wheu they would be paid and could not make any promises. The committee was instruct ed to lay the matter before Judge Cald well, which they did. In due tune they received the following answer, dated at Wequetonsing, Mich., July 17th: E. Cook. Chairman, Topeka. Kas.: "Dear Sir Your letter in relation to payment of wages due the men has been referred to the receivers, with positive instructions to pay as soon as they can raise the money. You ought to be paid, but recent events have put it out of the power of the receivers to pay anything from the earnings and they will be com pelled to borrow money for the purpose of paying wages. Yours truly, "Henry C. Caldwell." Soon after the receipt of this letter Mr. Cook aga.n wrote to Jude Caldwell un der date of the 23d. His letter was as follows: "Dear Sir Your letter in answer to our communication in regard to wages of the Santa Fe employes received, and in reply would like to say: It was no fault of ours that the company did not havo the money with which to pay wages. We are locked out without any notice as to the cause and aga.nst our wishes, and wheu our committee called on Treasurer Wilder he gave us no satisfaction as to whm we would get it, and did not ap pear to be coucerned as to whether we ever got paid or not. "Mr. Wilder also stated to us that it was costing the company $40,01)0 par day to carry ou the fight against the strikers. Now it looks to me lite asking for bread and being given a stone. "Since writing the communication re ferred to in this letter I have been dis charged and told that I would never again be employed by the company so long as it was in the hands of the re ceivers. No reason was assigned for my dismissal. In fact the general foreman in the department in which I was em plo3red told me that they (the olli cials) asked him to bring charges against me. The general fore man says that there was not a thing that he could say detrimental to me as a me chanic or a man, but inasmuch as you have referred my letter to the receivers, therefore, 1 have reason to believe thac there lies the cause of my dismissal I have a wife and three children depend ent on me for supporL I am located here so that I cannot get away without a great sacrifice to my property and with no prospects of getting anything to do in the city, and because I was selected as chairman of the committee to wait on Mr. Wilder, the treasurer, and to com municate with j-our honor 1 have been discharged. Is there any justice in this when the company was owing me over two months waes? "I would like to appear before your honor in person and make a statement of my case and I ask you to request the re ceivers to furnish me with transportation for that purpose. "I hope you will pardon me for annoy ing you in this matter. Though it may be trifling to you, let me assure you it is very important to me. "I have the honor to be your obedient servant, P. E Cook." The reply to this letter has just been received, and is as follows: 'Dear Sir Your request to furnish you transportation to euable you to ap pear before me to make a statement of your grievance cannot be complied with for two reasons: (1) I am just now out of my circuit. (2) If I was in my circuit I could not hear and decide your case upou your own ex parte statement. The receivers are entitled to be heard. No court should attempt to decide a dispute without hearing both sides. "If you think you have a grievance en titling you to a judicial investigation you can tile your petition with Judge J. B. Johnson, master in chancery at Topeka, and he will hear the evidence on both sides and decide the matter. -As to the payment of wage3 due you, T have instructed the receivers to borrow money to pay all pst due wages. Yours truly, Henry C. Caldwell." Before this letter was written Mr. Cook had received his pay.

TO FIGHT THE TAX. Ice Cream, Milk and Other Wagons to Pay Ten Dollars. THE CITY TAX DEPARTMENT Deilrei to Collect That Amount Cot the Owner Will Take Their Cue t the Courts. The legality of the city council's last license ordinance is a question that will soon be submitted to the district court. The enemies of the ordinance who are chiefly those affected by its provision, contend that it is void; and their lawyer who are preparing to contest it are able to prove its illegality at least to their own satisfaction. The license collector, who is Charles Vanderpool, has been trying to collect f 10 from each ice wagon, milk wagon, ice cream wagon and oil wagon in the city, under section 3 of the ordinance which reads: "Peddlers of articles not otherwise mentioned in this ordinance, $1 per week, $3 per month or If 10 per year; provided, nothing herein shall re quire the payment of a license tax by parties peddling grains, fruits, vegeta bles or meals of their own production." For refusing to comply with this sec tion of the ordiuauce Vanderpool has had Agent Stewart of the Standard Oil company arrested in the police court, and has been trying to collect the $10 for each wagon from Baughman, Scott Bros, and other ice cream dealers, as well as the milk men and ice men. Ex-City Attorney W. A. 8. Bird con tends that the whole ordinance is illegal; that not only section 3, but the clauses relating to slot machines and insurance agents are illegal. He says: "Tue principal fault with the ordinance on which its opponents can base their claim of illegality is that the citycouucil cauuot delegate its authority. It leaves it discretionary .with License Collector Vanderpool who is a peddler and who isn't. It is the aim of the laws against peddlers to collect a license from people who carry packs and who pay no other tax. But the Standard Oil company and the icecream men and ice men all pay taxes, and it is a question whether or not they can be taxed twice for the same prop erly. In a case from the Iowa Supreme court, that of the city of State enter against Bernstein, it was decided that they could not. "I claim that the milk men and oil men are not peddlers, Vanderpool to the contrary notwithstanding. They do not peddle but have their regular customers and deliver their goods just as a grocery wagon does. We claim also that the ice dealers and ice cream men peddle arti cles of their own production, and it is unjust and class legislation to say that peddlers of fruit and meat of their own production shall not be licensed, while peddlers of ice cream of their own pro duction shall pay a license. "Another phase of the the matter is who is the peddler? Is Baughman the peddler or the drivers of his e.ght or ten wagons? If Baughman is the peddler he is willing to pay the $10, but here is another case of delegated power. Van derpool says he must pay $10 for each wagon, and the same with each ice wagon, milk wagon and o:l wagon. Baughman is willing to pay $10, but ob jects to paying fSj or $1U0. "The ordinance proposes to tax each insurance company operating in Topeka, except the Kansas Aiutual Life and the Shawnee Fire. The spirit of the ordi nance is very nice to protect home indus tries, but I claim it is illegal to tax one company and not another. 1 agree with Judge Ensmiugerand I think every law yer in town does, when he says the clause relating to slot machines is invalid. For these reasons and others we propose to prove in the district court that the pres ent license ordinance is not only invalid in parts, but bo from top to bottom." Mr. Bird has been engaged by both Baughman and Stewart'to test the validi ty of the ordinance, and J. 11. Collier is taking charge of the interests of Srott Brothers. It is likely that all the cases will be united in one big test case that will settle the matter. Hard Coal Cheap.

Books wen1 printed in Paris from ste reotyped plates by Didjt in 179s. In 1274 a very finely written Bible was sold for M marks about 170. The first English paper mill was set tip in 1470, but no book was printed on Ihiglish paper nntil 1495. Many of the early wood cuts employ ed in books wore painted over by hand after the printing had been done. In 1873 two copies of Gutenberg's Latin Bible were sold. One on vellum brought 3.400; one on paper, '2,600. The work of tho flr.it bookbinder con sisted iu fasteuiiiK s of wood, metal or parchment to;,'.-; h-: r with clamps, clasps, hinges or vorila. French bindings ex?el in taste and finish, English in solidity and strength, American iu jrenoral excellence and ra pidity of workmanship. The Tartars f ormerly made their books of some rip Ties of I f rlc The leaves were long and narrow, anil the letters were white on a black ground. The scroll work of the early Bibles is sometimes vr-rj b: -autif jl. It is usually broajrht up between the two columns, and turnin g ar top an 1 bottom passed around the ends of the printed mattr. The first bonk print d by machinery was '"12 la to on bar hs Physiology, "which came from th- press ai 1M7.

To bo absolutely swagt-r tho necktie and. hatband, n.;;?; be an exact match. Ho pays tho summer girl. Not in so many words, but iu practicing what she silently proaohe-s. If the necktie hap pens to be da' k blue, with diagonal whito stripes running in opposite directions and forming little diamond shajjed plaids, it is the correct thing to wear a hatband exactly like it. Of course if there isn't something a bit different from the general. ty of plain solid col ors in either it is hardly noticeable that they are alike a'ld tho correct thing. A peculiar;..-.- oi. i.nglish women is the wearing of elaborate coiffures. No where is so much f alsa hair worn as in England. It is made up in all sorts of ingenious ways to be pimiL-d on bodily. The fashion of parting tho hair and wearing the little curl in tho middle of the forehead s: prevalent heio is not seen there. Instead the lino frizzes worn by the Princ-ss of Wales and her daugh ters are imitated by mo.-1 c-f the sex- A. Mexican Iunorattou.

A sister of the late Mr. Spurgeon preached twice recently to crowded con gregations at the handsome church in Hampstead Road in connection with the service.

American Steam Lauidry, 113 West iUte&tj tele, II, HERE IS THE LATEST ADVANCE. I July Florence Itjtio Would Have Cooi panie of "Women olunteerf.. Lady Florence Dixie finds matter for an article of considerable length in a Loudon paper advocating the organiza tion of a corps of women volunteers. She begins by saying that the pro posal has met with many women's ap proval and then proceeds to outline her scheme. She advocates the estab lishment of institutions where would be "volunteers' could be physically train ed into good gymnast.! and l a able to Bwim, ride, run, march, shoot and t u dure fatigue. Hand in hand with these subjects should go instructions in cook ing, nursing, ambulance work and man ual skill in tailoring and bootn.akf t.g, a knowledge, however rude, of these two last named accomplishments being at times most serviceable and useful. "I am totally opposed, com inaes the paper, "to the formation of a volunteer corps for women either merely as a medical one,' a lighting one or an am bulance one. My idea ot a volunte er coris of women is one whose members in time of national need could volun teer for all and every kind of service and perform the same efficiently whether it be fighting, medical work, ambulance work, nursing or anything else, and the unity of this volunteer corps should bo firm and strong knitted by the indissolu ble tie of esprit tie corps, which would build it into a powerful organization. "It should be the great national school for working class girls and wom en who could depend upon receiving a technical education if desired therein. It should be the national club for wom en of all classes; it should bo able to furnish in case of need skilled work women in every grade; it should have its branches in every town or outside every town, and it should have it- great central institution, its hall of liberty, iu London. "The corps might be known as tho United Corps of Women Volunteers, and it could be classified in companies under different names, certain duties being apportioned to each. Thes i com panies could furnish whatever the na tional need required, trained an 1 dis ciplined bcdicK of vomeu beinst forth coming in any emergency to supply the service sought. Before Lady Dixie announces her uni form she paves the way witu an anath ema against modern dress, and then introduces her "neat Norfolk shaped tunic, reaching to just above the knees; knie'tt ib.icio rs ai d gaiters to natch, the gaiters to bo substituted for brown tanned top boots, lacing up the entire front to the knee, where much riding is necessary. "For head dress I would recommend a colored cap, Tarn o' Shanter or Carl ist in shape, a plain round straw hat in hot weather or helmet if deemed more suitable. And to harmonize with such a costume woman's appalling headgear must be abandoned. No head can be truly comfortable or neat which is doom ed to wenr the present day erections and combinations of false and real hair, frizzes and fads, all pinned together in bewildering confusion. Having thus annihilated the present coiffures, a woman is urged "either to cut her hair short or wear it in the King Charles fashion adopted by the cavaliers, or if she prefers to keep it very long wind it in a neat coil behind her head. Lady Dixie admits that the move ment is radical, and that "there are difficulties to bo encountered, sneers and jeers to be lived clown, satires to be re futed, converts to be made," but she is sanguine of ultimate success and con nects the arrival of the women volun teers with great national re-forms ami all the rest of it. Serving ElackberrieH. A pretty way to serve blackberries with cream is to pick fresh, ripe ber ries over carefully. Heap them in a glass bowl and set on ice, serve on sau cers, with little bowls of supc and pitchers of cream, allowing each person at the table to sugar the fruit to suit tasta Blackberries may be served with me ringue as follows: Place a quart of ripo blackberries in a bowl, sprinkle with powdered sugar, beat the whites of li eggs with half a cup of sugar and spread over the berries. Set ou ice until very cold. Blackberry flummery is made by plac ing a pint of ripe blackberries in a saucepan with a pint of water; let boil slowly without stirring for 10 minutes, moisten 2 tablespoouinls of cornstarch with cold water, stir into the berries, let thicken, take from the fire and add half a teacup of sugar. When cool, servo with sugar and cream. Minnie liauk Decorated. Mine. Minnie Hank, who is making a tour of the world with her husband, the Chevalier von Hesse Wartcgg, ar rived some time ago at Sineapoie and sang at Johore by invitation for the sul tan, tho princess and dates, who were greatly pleaseiL The sultan conferred on the prima donna and her husband the order of the Crown of Johore, this being the eleventh ordet Mme Hauk has received from the hands of ruling ruonarchs. Honors For Betsy IIu. A ceremony to be repeated every year took place ou Decoration day at Mount Moriah cemetery, Philadelphia. This was the raising of a tlag over the grave of Betsy Ross, who made the firs: stars and stripes. The ceremonv was conduct ed by the V. S.

AN AFRICAN PRINCE. Recalled Troiii an African College to ItulA Over Hi Tribe. A dark story of consanguinal duplic ity, treachery and murder is that told by Princo Thomas Besolow, an African of royal blood who is now a student at Williams college, but who has been called by his people to return to his na- PRINCE THOMAS BESOLOW. tivo wilds r.nd rule over them. No one would think Thomas a prince at first glance, but ha admits it himself, mid there is no r.eed of looking further for proof. Here is the story he tells: "My father, King Aruiah, son of Zo dimah, who once held the supremacy in the Vei hexarchy, died and left the sov ereignty of his people to the youngest son of his first wife, Jas.sa Quey, daugh ter of the Oolah people and sister of King Mambruro, the great warrior and plunderer, before whom the African tribes trembled, which son is myself, Solow Bey, or Bey Solow Besolow as Anglicized. "After my father's death my uncle, Ifualusaw, usurped my rights, for at that time I was young and inexperi enced. I saw one of my sisters stran gled, and that, too, with her child. My uncle and his follow plotters squandered my father's wealth until tho kingdom sank from power iato poverty. "I planned secretly with my relatives to bring my uncle to account, but while I was debating what steps to take I met the Rev. Thomas Halley Roberts of the Vei people, an African and a graduate of tho Lincoln university, Chester coun ty. Pa. Ho advised me to come to Amer ica to be educated, and I decided to do so. Now it- has happened that Besolow's people have rebelled against the contin uance of tho rule of his usurping uncle tmd desire the return of their rightful sovereign, anel unless the young man is drawing on his imaginatitm for his facts he will soesn be ruler of a considerable Flice of the tlark continent. His uncle, it seems, has got frightened, tot), and joins in tho request for his return, so Besolow will not have any opposition from him to fear. Tho prince says he will probably go back in August or September and will make short visies to France, England and Germany on the way. Ho is a very good talker for mi African and has lec tured in Bo.-toti, Springfield and New York. He excuses his good English on the plea that he was educaceel in child hcod by a missionary.

Why not, Alice? "Tis just the love liest thin'of the kind I ever beheld, and so costly. It will just suit Al fred; he aiore9 beautiful thing-s. I'm surprised that you do not like it, Alice." "Oh, as to that, I like the set well enough," replied Alice, lifting1 the pretty, frail ornament in her finders. "It is perfect: but a wine-set is not a suitable gdft to a g-entleman, espe cially such a gentleman as Alfred Montrose. If you will pardon me for saying it, Gertie, I think you oujht to discourage your betrothed husband's love of wine, not foster it by such a g'ift as that exquisite Bohemian set." Gertrude broke into a mockinsr laugh, and tossed her small head till her yellow ringlets were in a shim mer. "Oh, that's your drift, is it? For pity's sake. Alice! You are .prone to be stupid at your best; don't turn pious lecturer, or you will be simply unbearable. Mr. Montrose may love wine quite as much as he likes, and I sha'n't object. I wouldn't have him a horrid temperance man for the worldl rah! the idea. Why 'tis as much out of style as brass heel3 and hooped petticoats. Just fancy one dining at Belvidere place, Alice, and refusing wine! No, child, don't preach temperance 'tis vulg-ar! I shall send my pretty Bohemian set to Alfred; it will just suit his luxurious bachelor apartments and sparkling1 Cliquot. I wouldn't miss sending1 it for the world." "Very well," sighed Alice, "of course you must have your own way about it; but I'm sorry you cannot re gard the matter as I do you may e pent when it is too lat?." "Oh, do hush," cried the beauty petulently. "I sha'n't repent, and I will send the wine set to Alfred! What else could I send him? and to morrow is his birthday. I'll do it up now, and ring for Myer3 at once." According-ly she went to work with deft white fingers, folding the costly frame and exquisite glasses in a mass of silver tissue, with a little em bossed card suspended therefrom, upon which was written: "A birthday present from Ger trude." The footman came in answer to the bell, and was dispatched to the hand some bachelor apartments in Regrent street, with Gertrude's beautiful present. Alice sighed a-gain as he passed down the stairs. "I hope you'll never repent it, Gertie," bhe said. "Oh, Alice, you're silly," retorted pretty Gertrude, spitefully. Alfred Montrose was sitting in his luxurious drawing-room when the g-ift from his betrothed bride arrived. Ho was a handsome, scholarly young man, the last son of a fine old family, with abundant means at his command, and endowed with superior intellect a favorite wher ever he went, a kind, genial, gener ous fellow, who had but one fault. He was a trifle too fond of his wine a trifle too fond of his club dinners and convivial suppers. Sitting in the summer twilight, he was thinking it all over. "E.gTit-and-twenty years to-night! BECAME A BAR-ROOM SOT. Alf, my boy. you're getting pretty well down the hill of time, and next Thursday is your wedding'-day! No time for wild oats now! How much have I squandered in my life time, I wonder, on wine-suppers and club dinners, and fast horses and the like? By George! I don't like to think of it! I might have been a rich man; and now well another year or so like this last, will make me a bankrupt." He paused, watching the blue smoke curling from his Havana, a serious lig-ht in his handsome eyes. "Darling little Gertie," he con tinued, a tender smile on his lip. 'I ought to do a good part by her, and I wilL The little thing trusts me so entirely. I must give over the wild oats for her sake. By George, I will. To-morrow's my birthday, and I'D begin at once. 'If you've a mind tc do a thing, do it at once,' my good old mother used to say. I wonder if I am man enough to make a resolve and tick to it? By Jove, I'll try! I'll be e rr r rst 1 man a teetotaler that s the ocljr way no half-measures will do for juid, Little Gertie will help me, ton. I should never have been tho worthies- dog I am if mother had lived!

The young1 man tore away the wrap per, and his cheek flushed and his eye brightened, as he saw tbe R'.aru;ej silver tissue and the daintily-directed card "A birthday present fro a Gertrude!" He tore it open with eacrer f5r.rcrs. "By Jove!" he cried, a look of b ank disappointment oa his face, "it ij a wine- set." He set it out upon the marble u bio, where the afternoon siinllpht streamed in, brina-insj out till its rich tints, till it blazed like a mass of to!.l and rubies. lie lighted a second Havana, and smoked Cvrrely, whi:; he looked at it, hiis handsome far;., sober with conflicting thoughts. At last he arose with a deep-drawn brea th. "Well, it is. no use i ;end out th wine-botfles now," he sail. "I must n't -slight Gertie's, pi osi-ti t -suck a costly affair, too fit for a U i j- to drink from. So here goi-s!" He caught up a bottle, ;ui.l, Zlllcg every glass in the dainty m:(, pro ceeded to drink their eon tent-, in rapid succession; and the f.illiug1 twilight closed upon him. Unshed, ex cited, witn a feverish tire in his eyes, and a reckless abandon in his manner. His last state bade fair to be worsa than his first.

They had been man and wifa f nearly three years, pretty Gertrude and Alfred Montrose. There w-r-j two babies, frail little things, cling ing to the young mother's skirts ts she sat in her cheerless, lodging. The handsome house in Regent .street hud, been sold the very first year of their marriage. Mr. Montrose was doin'T ouite bad ly; he had squandered his fortune, and fallen to the low degree of n bar-roo-u sot. Gertrude's wild-ro .e bloom wai rapidly fading, and there were wrin kles on her white forehead. Sim frett?d and scolded at the litt le w: n faced babea hat clung to her dress; and tha unmotherly ill-tern per spoi led all her sweet beauty, and gave her face a sour, utj-ly look. Bv and bv, as the wintry afternoon closed, her husband came siouclnni in a shabb3 ill-dressed man, tvi;U the look of an idle vagabond. Tin babies shrank away at tho sight of him. "No supper yet?" he said, jrru fM v, tumbling himself into a s(at. "H'lnl the deuce arc you at all the time, that you can't have a mouthful for a inn a when he comes in?" "There's nothing in the house to cook," replied Gertrude, bi-g i n n i ng to cry in a peevish, childish manner, "and not a cent to buy any. and I and the childre n are half-starved. I, h .in going back to father, Alfred; 1 won' t stand this treatment any longer. If I had known what I know m,', T never would have married you never!" The man's besotted fao- softened with a momentary gleam ot huui iti feeling. lie looked at his wan. faded young wife, with the wan I ill, -babies cl'mgintr to her skirts. "Poor Gertie," he half sice hod. 'h ovv bright and pretty she used to be.' 1 have treated her .shabbily, bv Ge r'.-e But reform's out of t he quest Ion now it is too late! I was on the ri;;ht road Once, and I believe I should iiavt. kept in it by Heaven, I do! if that infernal Bohemian wine set hadn't turned up. 'Twaa your own fault, Gertie your birthday gift in ide me what I am, so don't find fault with me." Slovene of Army I'romnt Ion.

"I would lika ta know," said a man on the etreet yesterday, "how all these rail road people that are out of work, live." A good many people are wondering the same thing, aud a few statements in connection with the matter may be inter esting. A month ago when the strike was at its height and tie men out of employ ment were beginning to feel the need of immediate relief, the farmers' alliance of Dover started the ball to roiling by an nouncing that it was ready to furnish anything it had to tho unemployed, and would begin at once. The A. R. U. ac cepted the offer and the scheme is work ing nicely. In a cozy corner of the cellar of the Alliance exchange, at the corner of Sixth and Quinc tlie "store" of the A. li. L"., at which distributions are made to those of the union tnat apply for them. Win. Blevens is in charge and is some times kept tjuite busy. There is nothing Btore like about the place. It has no rtuor, no counter. and no shelves, but the stock is scattered about iu boxes and barrels. Here tt e needy members of the A. IL V. apply for help and never turn away empty handeii. There are apples, potatoes, tlour, tr eal, vegetables and corn in abundance, and Mr. Blevens pays that with what they have in stock and what has been promised he is sure he could take care of a hundred families for hve or six months at least. So far the regu lar patrons of the "store" number up wards of e;ght3'. Stuff is coming in daily, or nightly rather, for moat of it comes in the night. Whether this ia due to the modesty of the givers or because they haven't time to bring it any ether time is left to the the readers to docide. And all of it comes from Shawnee county farmers. Mr. Blevens says. He thinks that the li.-t of contributors will number over tifty of the most prominent farmers of the county and the list is be ing increased d iily. On the list now may be found Mich well known men as J. .1. Kopp, F. A. Kiene, P. B. Chadwick, 1. A. Ldly, V. Hoffman, J. W. Stewart and Ch rirles I oilman. The union is very much encouraged with thj support it is receiving from the farmers of the county and wishes to ex press its sincere thanks. KnniSaj- Kxrorgiou St. Joe and return $1.50.

Th; Largejt Bequrtst 5.00O is to Her Daughter, 3tla Jtlllen Vail. No will that has been probated in Shawnee county for many yeirs is of as much public importance, perhaps, as is the one of the late Mrs. KlUm L. Bowman Vail that was tiled for probate this week. The property disposed of by this will will reach a valuation of something iu the region of $100,000, and a good deal of it is given to charitable objacta iu which the worthy lady was so tieeply in terested.

Contract Let for lirlclc Sidewalk Assess ment Ordinances l'ali. The special meeting of the city coun cil last night was uneventful. It was called to dispose of routine business, so that at the regular monthly meeting next Monday night the time of the city law makers would not be taken up with business which requires very little at tention on the part of the members. Councilman Pattison of the First ward and Fellows of the Fourth ward were absent. There were eight bids for the three miles and a half of brick sidewalk to be built. The successful bidder was John Ritchie, and a resolution was passed giv ing him the contract. The bids were all considered as unusually low. They were a3 follows per square foot: G. II. Griggs, 5.9 cents; John Ritchie, 3.59; W. IL Barnes, 6.19; IL P. Winens, 6; James Ramsey, 5.69; C. J. Rasen, 6; J. C. Moore, 5.8; O. Swanson, 6.1. Instead of a certified check for $100, which was required as security from those who made bids, Ritchie turned $100 in money over to the clerk. This apparently so surprised the city fathers that several of them begged to be al lowed to look at the money, and they Combination tJo. 11 SUGAR 1 1 lb.
