Magnificent arches are being erected on the main thoroughfares; search-lighta of intense power are beng placed on the surrounding heights an 1 experts are trying to outdo eaeh other m the size aud beauty of electr.e light designs. Business, politics and social functions) are merely side issues just now. The one prevailing anl all absorbing idea is to prepare a lit. ing reception for the veterans who are coining here to at tend the? Tweuty-Eightu national en campment of the Grand Army of the Re public. ApplicationJ for quarters are pouring into the ollice of tue local -executive council from all parts of the country. It was thought that the hard times would affect the attendance at the coming en campment but there seems to be no per cep ible decrease. It is generally understood this will be the last encampment at whic h the old soldier will parade in tens of thousands. Old age aud its intirmities are rapidly overtaking the heroes of '61-65, and many are uo longer able to march long distances, regardiess of storm or sun shine. The route this year is shorter than any previous encampment, being but two miles in length. The majority of strangers so far are men who expect to turn a penny or two during the encampment. A few old soldiers from distaut points have ar rived? bringing with them their wives and children. In addition to the veter ans and their relatives, an enormous crowd cf visitors is expected, and the vanguard has already reached here. They feel that they may never have the opportunity to see many of the nation's heroes massed in one place. The tirst of the veterans' organizations to reach here are scheduled to arrive on Sundav, and arrangements have been made to meet them at th-t depots and es cort them to their quarters. The naval veterans will arrive on that day and will be quartered ia boats on tho Monongahela river. On Sunday the railroads have ar ranged to bring in 0,000 m jre, and by Monday evoniug nearly 100,UUJ veterans will be here. The finishing touches are being placed today on the mamrnotu buildings of "Westinghouse, in whh'h a reception will be tendered next Weduet-day evening to tho delegates ta the C. A. It. encamp ment, the Woman's Relief corps and the ladies of the G. A. E. This will be the eocia! event of the en campment. Every civilian will be ex pected to attend in lull dress, while the military men and members of the G. A. IL will appear in their uniforms. The oontest for the honor of holding the next encampment will likely be a hot one, St. Paul aud Louisville, tho latter already has a representative on tho ground, being coutiieut cf victory.

Those closest to hiiu are convinced that Senator Don Cameron of Pennsylvania has long contemplated j umping over to the Popu list side. Should eiecuoai this year show the Republicans as receding aud Popu lists as the advancing tide, they believe that Dm Cameron v.ili not hesitate to take the step.

Government Officials Don't Be lieve it is Cholera. Cumberland, Md., Sept. 6. Great ex citement was caused here last night by the discovery of sporadic or Asiatic chol era among immigrants from Bremen, en route for Pittsburg. The man, Johu Peter 'Walther, was so ill that he could not walk. He was removed from tha train to the immigrant house, aud later to the pest house outside the city limits. He landed in New York yesterday on the German-Lloyds steamer. Other im migrants were sent to Pittsburg in a closed car, and the authorities notilied. The health physician, Dr. Duke, is iu charge of the sick man and the state tjoard of health will make bacterial ex aminations tomorrow. Pittsburg, Sept. 0. The emigrant car from which a suspected victim of chol era was taken at fev Cumberland, W. Ya., last night, is now pi le-tracked at Shauer, a station a few miles from here on the B. 5c O. Nine emigrants are con fined in the car. Dr. J. Guy McCandies, member of the state board of health, aud Health Otlicer Baker examined the sus pects today. They think the man who died was suffering from cholera morbus or cholerine. To avoid auj', risks, how ever, the car will be kept iu quarantine for another twenty-four hours at ieast.

Tlie Surgreon General of tlie Hospital Ser vice Says It Can's Get Iu. Washington, Sept. 6. A telegram was received today by Surgeon General Wyman of the marine hospital service from Health Officer Duke of Cumber land, lid., announcing the death there last night of John P. Walther, a German immigrant, with symptoms pointing to Asiatic cholera. Dr. Wyman wired tho otlicer to hold a post mortem and report the results. Dr. Wyman said: "I do not believe that this man died of Asiatic cholera. There is now no cholera iu Bremen, the port irom which ho is said to have come, aud has been none. 1 here has bean no disease among the other men from tho Elbe, now detained at Pittsburg, being hell for further developments." "What is the situation with regard to the disease in Europe!"' was asked. 'It is rather on the increase in Russia and is fretting over into western Europe, but so far has been confined to the most southern portions of that coast and is most prevalent in Austro-ltungary. This has kept it away from the ports whence the immigrants come to these shores and as there is a rigid consular inspection on that side, as well as a most thorough quarantine service on this, I am abso lutely certain that no case of cholera has got into America this year. "There have baen two cases caught at quarantine, but have not amounted to anything. It will be practically impossi ble for the epidemic to get iu unless there is a relaxation of vigilance on the part of the health officers and consult. By the first of September we were prac tically over the worst of the panic and it looks as though the great danger of con tagion is passed" New York, Sept. 6. Nothing is known at quarantine relating to the sup posed case of choleia at Cumberland, Md. The steamer Elbe arrived Monday night and early Tuesday morning the steerage passengers were all carefully inspected and found well. Captain You Goesset and the ship's surgeon made no report of any sickness during the voy age. FOR OBSERVING LABOR DAY Seven Iieliijan Slate Employes Dis charged Because They Didn't Work.

Washington, Sept. 6. The much mooted German question was decided by the supreme lodge of the Knights of Pythias today by a decisive vote against permitting the use of the ritual in other than the English language. Two votes were taken, the first on the substitution of the minority report to give the Ger man lodges five years of time in which to adopt the English ritual, resulted 74 to 41 against the minority. Then the majority report was adopted by a vote of 7'J to o!j. The gist of the majority report is found in the following recommendation: "That the supreme lodge reannounces and affirms the declaration made at the Kan sas city session, that henceforth and for evermore the ritual used in this and all other English speaking nations shall be printed in the English language only aud that when the standard of our order shall be planted in any country speaking another than the English language, the ritual there in used Bhall be printed and all con cerns over which the body has control shall be conducted only in the language of such government to the end that it may be known to all men and to all nations that around our altars, Pythian Knitrhts are taught, is one of the cardinal princi ples of the order, undying loyalty aud devotion to the government to which they owe their allegiance, whether it bo tho land of their birth, or the country of their adoption." It also commends the supremo chan cellor for his action in upholding the law in this matter, and was signed by four members of the committee, Stantu.n L. Carter, Thomas D. Mears, L. P. Hunt and Aaron Myers. John il. ltusse of Indiana was the author of the minority report, which recommended that lodges that have remained loyal to the su preme lodge and which were working with rituals in other than the English language when the last ritual was promulgated, be furnished with rituals in tho language they were previously using for a period of live years, after which they would surrender them and use only the English. Three hours debate was had. The principal speech for the minority was made by Representative Featherstoue, of Wisconsin, and for the majority by Representative Carter of California.

Urigham, was a member of tho tirst cremation society organized in Mas sachusetts. Ho said to J 113 "I do not ceo how anyone who seriously thinks of the matter can be in favor of disposing of the dead any other way. Tho process of decomposition is revolting to rue. It takes a number of years for the body to return to the elements. In the east I have seen the bones of buried peopie dug up and left on top of tUi ground, and boys playing with skulls. "On the other hand wneu tho remains are put into a crematory, in au hour or hour and a half, there is nothing there but puru clean ashes. There is nothing repulsive about it." The funeral services over the remains of Mrs. Urigham will bo hel 1 next Mon day at the old home iu Shrewsbury, -Uass., aud the body will then be taken to Forest Hill cemeter', Hoston, where the now crematory is located and incin erated. The ashes will then be placed in an iron urn and deposited in the family vault. Tho crematory is a stone building like a chapel, and was built last Decern ber. The body of Lucy Stone was tho tirst cremated there. The temperature of the retort in which the incineration takes place is from 1,200 to 1,(00 degrees, and the time required to consume the body varies. About three months ago Mr. Urighatn's mother was cremated at the same place, this being the forty-second incineration. Mrs. Urigham was 51 years old and she had been a sullerer from consumption for over a year. Tho family moved to Topeka from Riverside, Rhode Island, in April. Mrs. Urlgham's health improved after she came to Kansas, but a lew days ago she began to fail and death soon came. There are two children, both grown.

Fortunately the procls mat en has been- made by 1 'resident Cleveland Mud Mr. Wil-on that the tariff bill is not a tlnality, but this estructive war fare is to 6 on. If you approve this, -how it by returning' Mr. Wilson to cougress, out if, on the other hand, you have felt the effect of the de pression; if you thiuk more of those i ho prefer to letid the country through a slouch of despondency, fchow it by defeating- him. "I can not say much of the last ad ministration; delicacy forbids me to say much of this, but if you consider the heads of departments and subor dinate officers, you will see there was iad attempt to act for the best inter ests of the people I can not say how we tare succeeded, but eniy that we have done the best we could do. If the people at elections this fall con demn the recent action m the tariff we shall have an end of tariff tinker-i-.gs. When the tide of emigra tion started from the sea-board it turned to Ohio and the interior valleys, but it is now toward West Virginia.

It is impossible to state accurately the number of fatalities, or if there are any. Rescuing parties are exert ing every means to release the occu pants of the engulfed dwellings. One of the buried houses has taken fire. The cave-in was caused by the giving- way of timber supports in the work ings of the Mount Lookout colliery, whjeh has not been in operation for about two years, and had been neg lected in consequence.

They Gt Out of China as Fast as Possible. Their Heads Are in Banker if They Remain.' BLOWN TO PIECES. Japanese Soldiers Decoyed Over a Hidden Mine by Chinese. Shanghai, Sept. 6. The recent sur render to the Taotai, outside the set tlement limited, by the American consul, of two Japauese, who were recently arrested, accused of being spies, and who had been under the protection of the United States, has created a panic among the Japanese in this country. The latter believed themselves to be safe under the pro tection of the United States, and their alarm is increasing in view of the re port that their two countrymen now in the hands of the Taotai, are to be immediately executed. The Chinese authorities, as already cabled, when the prisoners were sur rendered, pledged themselves not to torture the captives, and to give them a fair trial. All tiie Japanese in this city, numbering about are making preparations to leiive China at the earliest moment poibU?. The Yokohoinu pecie bank branch here is transferr.u it busin ss to the Comptoir d'Escomple during the war. The Japanese merchants are selling out their business, preparatory to leaving the country. A junk which was passing through a forbidden channel was blown up by a torpedo. The alarm among the Japanese con tinues to spread and they may now be said to be fleeing the country, as there seems to be no protection for them here. They insist the surren dered prisoners were executed im mediately after they were given into the hands of the Chinese authorities. BLOWN TO SMITH E MEEIfS. How the Chinese lieuiled the Japs Over a Loaded Mine. Saj F.RANCISCO, Sept. o. The offi cers and passengers of the Belgic could give little news of the war. When a reporter boarded the steamer those on deck inquired eagerly for news, stating that the governments had control of the wires in the two countries and they would not let any news get out. Little was known be yond lhat brought over in the papers. ,One story was told of the remarka ble cunning of the Chinese in an en gagement, but the name of the place where the battle took place was not known, except that it was on the Cor ean border. A small detachment of Chinese were sent out to attack a strong force of J apanese. The latter turned out in force and almost annihilated the small band of Chinese; those who were left retreat ed and lured the Japanese on to an underground mine. When the exul tant Japanese rushed forward shout ing out victorious cries, the mine was fired and about 500 Japanese were blown into the air. The entire Chi nese force then squared against the remainder and cut them down. The general belief among the officers of the Belgic is that the Chinese will not be a great while in bringing the Jap anese government to itself. T HE DEATH LIS T. Between 37S and 0O People Perished in the Minnesota Horror. Pine City, Minn.. Sept. 6. Last night's correct figures are of a charac ter calculated to lower rather than raise the total number of dead. There has been an increase over previous estimates at Hinckev, but the pros pect of any considerable number re maining still in the woods is decreas ing. There are 233 buried in the Hinckley graveyard, and perhaps a dozen more buried at other points in the vicinity, increasing the total here to about 350, but the a IdiConal num ber here may be safely taken away from the liberal estimate allowed for those yet unfound leaving the total between 375 and 400. Ibe New Liberty ISelL Chicago, Sept. C. The new Liberty and Peace bell which rang so often during tho world's fair, has been resting in Chicago since its return from New York last fall.

The check reads, "The Central National Bank of Topeka. to the First National Bank of Denver. Pay to the order of Jasper Car ter $25, E. J. Kies, cashier."' Carter's bill was 10. Mrs. Kitchen was suspicious of the draft, and was willing to pay $10 for it instead of $13. She volunteered b iwever to go out and get it cashed. Instead she showed it to Ollicer Capron, who knew that E. J. Kies was not cashier of the Central National bank. He telephoned for Sergeant Don ovan, and together they arrested Carter. The prisoner was too dumbfounded to make any explanation. .Mrs. Kitchen says Carter had another boizus draft for $275, but the ollicers were unable to se cure it. Carter's case has been taken to Justice Chesney's court. Carter was four years ago found gnilty in the federal court hero of embezzling the funds of a postoffice in western Kan sas, of which he was the postmaster.1 He was sentenced for six months.

The Democratic party ia too stupid to be very -wicked. All, political pools an. ell bad. The people can take a sniff taax whichever they please. All that is left of tte Democratic party ia Kansas are the postmasters and David Uvertnyer. PxTfiTJ.PS when politicians are lynched for betraying- the trust reposed in them by the people, the a we nay have purity ia politics. The governor certainly did not stand on a prohibition platform at Kerr's park on Labor Day. Nor even o:i a. law and order platform. About everybody who ia anybody gets railroad passes. You poor people who haven't any "power" except to vote have to pay your fare. In the language of a Chicago speaker, the blacklist follows it3 victims more re lentlessly than ever the fugitive slaves of the south were followed by blood hounds. If the Farmers' Alliance u 1 only kept on sending three true and trid men up to Topeka with each ciliolal to see that he didn't trans res, they might have kept things straight. The man who makes fun of a woman for making such a fuss over having a tooth pulled lives at Ark.-un.is City, lie had one pulled himself t ie other day and wont into hysterics. After Kansas is redeemed keep a sharp eye on the redeemer These chaps never want to forget for a minute that they are the eervants of the people servants, do you hear? We have pointed out t vo judfrea in Kansas who da not take railroad passes; one a Republican and one a Populist. Is that all there are ia the whole, big state of Kansas? For shame, gen.lernen of the juiiciary. Dk. McLallin says in the Advocate that the administration would put Dr. MeCajey out if it could. It can. All it needs to do Is to show caus- for his re moval; there is no trouble about the evidence. Bili. Hackney says he has a club re served for anybody who doesn't keep bis political promises. That's r ght. Every voter in Kansas should feel the same wy. Don't '"belong" to the psirty; make the party belon g to you. The papers that drove James II. Can tleld out of Kansas are now "wolfing" Prof. Blackmar because he happened to be in Chicago with Sirs. Lease trying to get the Pullman employes into a car works scheme at Lawrence. WicnrTA llagle: Is Associate Justice Allen still a Populist? Yes. Is Ben Jfeuderaca still a Populist? Yes. What d-j they say? Defeat Lewelliag. Why? Because they know he i.- killing the Populist party with corrupt! ku So f'.EOKJK Washington Clark, the Amiable, the jjvlal, the (;hj1 fellow George, has a ass on evry railroad in Kausa.

The Topeka Journal ia complaining because the press of the state doesn't take up its fight on judges who accept railroad passes. Probably the pre3 is afraid the judges would retaliate. -Emporia Republican. That is where soma of "the press'' we are sorry to say, is ia a somewhat unfor tunate position. Editors who accept railroad passes, are open to the charge that they are unfair in their news col umns whenever a controversy arises be tween the railroads and the people. It is a fact that soma editors are influenced by railroad passes and other favors, but the people are not compelled to buy newspapers that they regard as unluly influenced; whereas in the ease of the judiciary the people must try their suits in the regularly established courts; they have no alternativa The Srire Jour nal does not accept paes. All the railroad transportation it used, is paid for at regular ratea. We regard this as best for the paper and be.-t for the railroads. But even newspapers that do accept passes, have no reason to withhold their cuudamnatiou of julges for the Sitae act. The case is quite diiTerent in its effects. Most newspapers which do ac cept passes give valuable advertising in exchange. What do the ju Iges give? Out of seventy-seven cities reported by Bradstreet last week only four show ed an increase of bank clearings. Of these Topeka led the list with an in crease of 1&5 per cent. This is cold comfort for our Pop friends, but they can't get around it, and probably won't try. Ottawa Republican. And Topeka is the only prohibition city among the seventy-seven. This is also cold comfort for those who think that saloons are essential to prosperity. Dow the saloons do help those other seventy-six towns! Bums Citizen. From 1836 to 1830 when Topeka gain ed 15,000 in population and built most of its largest business blocks, the prohibi tory law was more strictly enforced than ever in its history. There were no clubs and joints and fewer drug stores. Tais does not prove that saloons retard the growth of a town, but it proves that they are not necessary to its growth. "Let reverence of the law be breathed by every mother to the lisping babe that prattles in her lap; let it be taught in the schools, seminaries and colleges; let it be written in primer, spelling book and al manac; let it be preached from the pul pits and be proclaimed in legislative halls, and enforced in courts of justice. Abraham Lincoln. We suppose Abraham would not have excepted the interstate commerce law, either, lie would, if he were living now, have the bad taste to require Gene ral Managers associations and Mr. Rein hart to obey it just the same as Mr. Debs and the labor unions. Chicago Herald: Jerry Simpson speaks hopefully of his prospects for re-electio i. "In my last campaign," he says, "I was opposed by two railroud-i. O le of them is now iu the hands of a receiver an I the other has gone out of politics." If this statement is true the Kansas railroads will doubtless hesitate befora they tackle Jerry again. lie amounts w ithin himself to about half a dozen well organized general "strikes." KAXSAi PA It AGRAPirS. Moran ia a queer place. It has offered a lawyer inducements to locate there. The editor of the Ft. S"t tt Monitor part3 his camo in tha mi.idi j aud pre fixes Prof. A widower and widow were recently married in Rush county, each of whom had seven children. The women built the Union church at Parnell and the mea are runniug it says the Atchison Globe. The Abilene Reflector eays the Prof, before Superintendent Gaines' name Etaads for profanity. A horse that was killed by lightning in Lyon county was knocked clear through a barbed wire fence. Mr. Jolly of Ellsworth thought the meeting of the German league was an appropriate time to visit Saluia. Cameron has seven temporary widow ers, and the gladdening pop of the cork awakens echoes iu places that have never known it before. Ft Scott has an ordinance against the sale of cigarettes but the boys have no more trouble to get them than the men have to get whisky. A young store clerk at Arkansas City has washed the front windows f r the first time in mouths, since the high school girls began to pass to school. The Hays City Sentinel c! iims it d f business with nil, botri the good and the ba l; two preachers a.id a nic-ui5er of the legislature being aaioag its new oub scribers. A Ft. Scott small boy hit a playmate such a blow on the chest that it stopped the action of the Le-trt for awhile but his own was .beating fast enough for two just then. Jerry Simpson sa"d at Wichita that, he hadn't real thu new-pape-s for two mouths. This accounts then for the good opinion which Jerry stiil entertains of congre-s. At. a concert in Atchison it was an nounced that tw c r lets would plair ulhe Larboard Wach" and the house wouldn't hold the crowd. Atchison peo ple just love that kiud of soigi Eight Hutchinson young women drove out Into the country and ha I a picnic all by themselves. This method precludes all quarrels as to who shall ride on the back seat coming home. The Democrats in their county con ven tion in Kearney county nominated a woman for county superintendent. The county is strongly Republican. Demo crats believe that women are just as good as anybody else to sacrifice. Cheap lia.tr- Kasi. SANTA FS ROUTE.

L"., and there is, perhaps, no place in the country wher; the temperance spirit is stronger. The members of the W. C. T. U. here are in a state of tunno.l, owing to the fact that at dinner ia the public dining room of the hotel Frances Willard and Lady Henry Sotuerse, drank from a very sus picious looking bottle. On investigating it was found t i at the beverage was a brand of unfermented wine which had been largely caaiumed hare this season. I he stutf is pronounced harmless and quite beneficial, but many of the tem perance ladies do not see it ia that light. it may be i r. fermented, but, just the fame, it makes the face red," gat J a lead er ia temperance circles here while dis-eu-nuu; the matter. -o matter wl al the effect of the drink may be, the majority of the people were, temperance an 1 otherwise," inclined to censure Mis Wibard for her act; for, as president of ths great W.

The children of Potwin Place are ail right Their hearts are in th j riffht places and you cannot say a word against their ability or enterprise and tell the truth. There was conference of them re cently and they concluded that whereas, the summer vacation was beginning to drag and wherear-, they wanted a little amusement and whereas, they could have it and do a good deal cf good for such little folks at the same timr; it was there fore resolved, that tht-y give a circus and donate the proceeds to tne buildiug fund of the Orphans home. It was a splendid idea and it was splendidly carried out. After the usual time spe it in prepara tion and the Potwin mammas had been worried almost into early graves in re gard to old stockings for tigbta and bits of ribbon and oid caiica for gashes the momentous day came and the show was given. A tent had been secured from a firm in the city and it was almost crowded to the exclusion of the patrons with lath cages lulled with cats and dogs and rab bits, livery boy that ha I an animal had it on exhibition and you could have gone in to see it all for the littis sum of five cents. Aa show people say, they played to good business; The tent was full. The regulatioa programme was given. The boys got up on the turning poles and fell off, the girls sang songs and a couple of colored boys "did'' a double clog. There were several encores and they were all deserved. There was no concert but the audience was satisfied to go home without it. And now comes the best part of it: The show netted to the Orphans' home the neat little sum of ten dollars in cash and it was turned over to the manage ment the next day. That's the kind of a show that is really "indorsed by the press and clergy." MAX'S NEW EJIASCIPATION. Hia Trousers "Will Hasr no Longer at ttie Heading of the Kuee. We have all or at least nearly all experienced at some time or several times that forlorn feeling of lost re spectability that wiil steal over one when he finds for the tirst time that his new trousers have begun to bag at the knee, and it is therefore much more than prob able that the soon to be emancipated male populace is fully prepared to throw up its hats and welcome with an extend ed hurrah the era of bug-less pantaloons about to be sprung upon a knee-bagged world. This article will have no particular interest perhaps to suffragists, but to the enthralled beings described in the first paragraph its meaning is most signifi cant. lime out of mind the tailors have been wrestling with the problem of how to make troupers that wid not bag at the knees. At last they claim to have suc ceeded, by a simple trick in the cutting. All trousers this season wiil be made ac cording to the alleged new discovery by tailors who know their business. They will be large at the hips and will slope down with almoat straight seams to the bottoms. If the widths are, nay, nine teen inches at the knees, they will be seventeen inches or less at the feet. This will enable the legs to fall ia per pendicular lines and will prevent the knees from bunching. A Topeka tailor said today that he is already receiving orders for the new cut, aud that he even made a faw of them last year. The new cut resembles, the tail ors say, the old "pegtop" style that was in vogue twenty ortwenty-dve years ago. This time they will be laa i j with a slight spring. As compared with the style now dying they wiil iuok, of course, strange. IS ew styles always do. The old measure for an ordinary "pant" leg was, if twenty inches at the knee, then ni aeteen inches at the foot; now the same man will need a pair of pants that measure nineteen and one-half inches at the knee and about seventeen inches at the bottom. You see this makes a fall of two inches or more and the men will look a little as though they had on their sister's bloom ers and had forgotten to pull them up properly. HLBR CIJvMENS' SOVEI. The Dead line" Is Largely a. liitter At tack o n tlie rjlic fcystem. G. C. Clemens' novel, The Dead Line," has male its appearance in book form from the Advocate piress. The book is bound in paper covers. A frontispiece of the author is t h 9 only illustration. It is printed in double columns and there are numerous typographical errors. Tiiis is the author's tirst novel, though he has written several law books. Its character is socialistic a i 1 it will hold the attention of the average reader to the close, though its denouement is some what disappointing. Trie continuity of the story is broken with apologies for the author's method of construction and the effect is nomewhat destroyed by aa effort to make partisan politics a feature of the work. The police system of the country is dealt some powerful blows though the author's imagination got beyond the bounds of leason. Policemen are not ail brutes, neither are their victims often blameless. The state ra.litia is also giv en some attention The heroine is Hate Ccttrill, a farm er's daughter, with a strong tc.ud bnt with a penchant txrr looking with favor upon men who condescend to smile up on her.

W RAT DOES IT ME AN I'aet or Fiction About Two Great Fair Awards. A newspaper paragraph denounces as "false" the claim of a baking powder company to an award at the World's Fair. What can it mean? Certainly not Dr. Price's. Why? Be cause, as the records show, Dr. Price's exhibited, competed and received the highest award, both at Chicago and the California Midwinter Fair. The award in California included Gold Medal. The official examiners pronounced it the strongest, the purest, the most whole some and efficient of al! the baking pow ders. Its title to confidence ia unques tioned Can it be the manufacturers of a Xew Tork powder, fictitiously labeled "abso lutely pure" who are making false claims? That would be strange indeed, inasmuch as they were not even consid ered ia the awards. Was it ammonia in the Xew York pow der that prevented its makers from com peting? If not, what? 1N0 DESTITUTION HERE. The Victims of the Late Strike Here Isot So Very Hungry Vet. C The local members of the A. R TJ. do not take much stock in the recently re ported appeal for aid said to have been issued by the local lodge at Argentine. The appeal published (without signa tures, however,) is as follows: "The late American Railway union strike, while it was probably ill advised and ha?y, has resulted in placing a num ber of f amilies in very bad shape finan cially, and the depression in almost all lines of business in connection with the restrictions place! oa these men by the railroad companies makes it next to im possible for them to obtain employment either at home or abroad. The majority of these men are sober and industrious and took no active part in the late trou ble, simply adding their numeri cal strength to the movement, and this was done as much from the force of example and sur roundings as anything else. We do not care to enter into a discussion a to the merits of the case, or the motives that prompted so many men to quit work, tsuffice it to say, the majority of these men thought they were right, otherwise they would not have made the sacrifices they did in a cause which they well un derstood was only sympathetic on their part. "We are making an effort to help sup port these unfortunate families till such a time as the men can find employment somewhere. Any assistance you feel able to give will be thankfully received, receipted for and gratefully remem bered." The oScials of the lodge, at this point say they do not believe the appeal was ever officially issued because they would certainly have received a copy and they have not. So far as the lodge here ia concerned they say its members are getting along really better than was expected. There are nearly one thousand mem bers In the lodge here and there have as jet bea aa c&nm oX absc!u.t destitution V) i kulTMl il We guarantee satisfaction iM&h l.W.rraiicfl..rfa DTi frO 1 i OTi .4. fp3 1 5t1 reported to the officials since the strike. The "store" that was started during the strike and supplied by the farmers who sympathized with the strikers did a great amount of good in the way sf relief to people who could not Had anything to do just then. Since then nearly 200 of the 980 mem bers of the A. R. U. in Topeka have been returned to their places in the Sauta Fc shops. Some of the members of the lodge were not at work for the Sauta Fe when they joined the A. R U. .The officials of the lodge here say there are hardly any of the men who were de prived of work by the strike that have not had work enouarh of some kind to keep themselves aud families alive, aud that the conditions are growing better weekly. A good many of the men have left town aud found work elsewhere. Several are working on farms aud some who had money saved before the strike have not worked at all. Many of them had gardens of their own and have been depending on them mostly for their liv ing. It is certain that the destitution is not so appalling as it was thought at first it would be. Even the A. R U. store is uo longer in existence, the oriicers of the lodge saying it was not needed. ABUSES HIS WIFE. va Johnston XVunts Her Husband. Ku joined frum jSlanderinjr Her. Eva Johnston, whose divorce proceed ings from W. L. Johnston, the Sauta Fe engineer who got $10,0oQ damages for the loss of an arm, created a sensation in court circles three months ago, appeared in court yesterday in a new roie. She asked for a restraining order to prevent "Bill" from annoying her. She alleges that he writes decoy letters to her to en tice her into compromising circumstan ces; that he lies in wait for her and calls her vile names in a loud voice, whenever he meets her on the streets. She asks that her husband be enjoined from slan dering her or otherwise disturbing her peace. Johnston was committed to the county jail for contempt of court at the last trial of the case, but he took his cause to the supreme court, and ha3 been released temporarily oa a writ of habeas corpus. HIGHEST HONORS GIVEN To Or. Price's at the World's Fair. (Chicago Tribune.) For leavening power, keeping quali ties, purity aud general excellence, the World's fair jury decided that Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder had no equal. On each of its claims it was awarded a first prize or a diploma. All the baking pow ders entered for prizes were subjected to a most exhaustive examinatiou, aud the jury was the best equipped to make the decision of any ever got together. Their verdict was supported by the testimony of Dr. If. W. Wiley, chief chemist of the United States Department of Agriculture at Washington. Dr. Wiley is an expert on food products and the highest author ity on such matters in America. This verdict settles a long debated question as to which among the many baking powders is the best.

Every one has read and hr 3 that a peacock's feet are ugly, aul rhf.t the bird is eo conscious cf it that it invaria bly tries to hide tl. em when it fi i 1 that it is observed. This belief is not of modern origin, for it is to be fotnd in ancient writings and in works 3 old 3 the classical Greek and Latin n i in old fables. It has been recorded as aa ornithological truth by writers from time immemorial, and even at the pres ent day it is to bo fouad in books that aro considered standard works on natural history." This constant reiteration of something that has no foundation in fact is simply an illustration of how some writers -will take as an accepted fact the assertions of some ether writers who have gone before them and not exercise their own judgment and eyes. Tho as sertion that peacocks have ugly feet i3 arrant nouseti?e, as &nj one can see if they will examine the next bird they see. Tho feet ara slightly larger than those of a turkey, but aro well propor tioned and small for the siz-i cf the bird. The popular misconception regarding this bird's feet undoubtedly arose from the fact that the peacock, being by na ture -a wild bird, is apt to drop its beau tiful fan tail to the ground behind him and scuttle away as rapidly as possible. The dropping of the tail, of course, hides the feet, and tho impre-'sion is conveyed to tho ignorant or unthinking that the bird is trying to hide his foet. St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The Criminal a Fool. Regarding th criminal as regardinfj everything el.-:c we are no longer re stricting ourselves to moralizing and speculating and consulting the opinions of the Hebrew prophets and tho me dieval saints, but we have beg-an study ing him. And our fundamental discov ery is one at least as old as Solomon namely, that the criminal is a fool. Tho ancient discoveries cf a truth, how ever, generally differ from tho modern discoveries jf tho same truth in the fact that they Spread it or less gro-a.id. Our revolutionary discovery regard ing the criminal is that, in our times at least, he is intellectually a fool. In the good eld tira-js ho was mvrt ly mor ally a fool. The fact that h:ne.:ty is tho best policy, though fitfully implied through the Bible, sef rus to have had very little effect till ai'ter tho reforma tion and not to have been definitely put on record before Cervantes. Bat the growing realization of the fact and perhaps the growing inconveniences of being dishonest have, aided by a host of other agencies, brought the world to a stage where, roughly speaking, only the fools condescend to be criminal. Anybody familiar w;th courtrooms and prisons will testify that, with r-ro ex ceptions, this is true. Henry Holt in ForuLi. Ainljer. Amber is the gum of a cotiifer, but of what species no ore knows. It 1 1 longed to the iirst period of vegetation of the earth. 2vo cue knows in what climato these trees grew, and no fo-sil traces of them are left for the geologist. It is not improbable that thoy produced amber and were stately trees millions of years ago. Dr. R. Klebs of Koni zsberg, the highest authority on this subject in the world, rays therer.ro 2,000 different varieties of insects found imprisoned in amber, and this gives ns a pretty cor rect idea of the fauna in the remote ago in which they lived. They givo us be sides evidences of that period cf which we have no other trace. It is very in teresting to compare these insects with those now existing, as the common fly, for example. Others, again, are entirely different, showing extinct species. Dr. Kleb's theory is that the amber was car ried to East Pru.-sia during the glacial epoch and imbedded in the blue earth where it is found. This blue earth is a very heavy clay, and the strata vary in thickness from 8 to 27 feet. Dr. Klebs considers that this imbedding process occurred in what geologists term the tertiary period. Philadelphia Bulletin. Ceo AVater In Carnival Time. During carnival time in some parts of South America there is a geueral revolt against nature in withholding rain tho greater part of the year. Water is showered from the balconies and house tops with wanton extravagance, all classes joining in the frolic. I was in Lima during one of these periods of jolli fication and found that there was not a street where one could be secure from these watery attacks. In all parts of the town passe rsby were treated to a shower bath, and toward evening tho sport in creased in intensity, every successful delivery of dipper or bucket being greeted with fctiouts cf laughter. All classes met with tho same reception. Roughly dressed men sauntering along tho street would on meeting it richly dressed lady dash a cup of water, which they held concealed behind their backs, straight in the lady's face. Th-3 ladies attacked in this way would merely smile grimly and pass on. I saw hundreds cf men and women showered in tLia way, but in no instance were the least ligns of resentment or auger displayed. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Maine Wild I-liiUi. A Maine lumberman says the will lands of this state would make 13 states as large as Rhode Island, two as large as New Hampshire :ind Vermont and one twice as large as Massachusetts. These lands are located in the fc blowing counties: Aroostook, 2,83S, 018 acres; Franklin, 58 lJ, OS 2 acres; Hancotk, 3U2, 893 acres; Gxfird, 533,654 acres; Pe nobscot, 827,604 acres; Pise .taquis, 2,000,444 acres; Somerset, 1,735, S3 3 acres; Washington, 034, 1 23 acres. The spruce timber lands cf Maine are worth more today than the pine lands were 50 years ago. This statement is based oa the opinion of lambermtn who havo been engaged in thd bu.-ine.ss for 40 yeas. Tho value of these spruoe lanes has been greatly enhanced by the enor mous demand for pulp wood. Lewis ton JournuL 4 r-J

K Jonas CARRIED A MUTINOUS CREW, U1 Were Keirrore and They Plotted ta Commit ilurdar and Piracy. The bark ISellie Troop, after a loD voyage to the .Dutch East Indies, is now lyin? ia the Erie Basin, and according to the captain, he aod his officers have had a most iventrul time with a mutinous crew, says the Brooklyn Times, lie is in possession of the written confessions of several of the mea to prove his Ellegation. The bark is rated at 1,300 tons, and is owned principally by parties in Sc. John, B. The captain's name is V. J. Young. He is a man of sturdy built and middle age. He served throuyht the late war here, his crew was a mixed one t f Portuauese, bpaniih and Mexican negroes, and a negio named John Kheinart, from iioston, who had just been discharged from the etate prison there. He carries a bullet in his.ie?. The captain was accom panied on his voyage by his wife and two daughters, atied lespectfully 12 and 14 year- Before starting on her voyage the bark took on 18,000 cases of petroleum at Phiiaaelphia. Captain Young tells the following story of his adventure: The crew became Mutinous at the fctart and without any provocation etarted in to attack the officers with eyerytheng they could lay their hands on. The captain and his omcers, assisted by the boatswain, James Edwards, a colored man, at once armed themselves. The leader of the mutineers was a black man, Roderick Daber. Captain Young soon unearthed a plot which had been formed by the men to kill all of the oilicers and take possession of the -e3sel. This knowledge made the situation double dangerous, be cause of the presence of his wife and children on shipboard. An officer, therefore, took turns each nignt in keping watch at their cabin door. It vas in this state of practical siege that th y at last rea hed Uavaria with their cargo. An attempt was made during the trip thither to burn the thip, and one or two of the cases of petroleum were set on lire, but quickly extinguished. After reaching Bavaria, Baber, the ringlead r, asked permission of the mate to go ashore, and was refused. Iu a frenzy he then picked up a hatchet aud severed two of the Angers of his left hand, and then thrust it Id the captain's face. He insanely eatd that he did it because the re quest to land had been icfused him. He was then sent ashore to the hos pital, and sent back to the ship later. He had also attempted to murder one of the rew. All of the crew were later paid off and discharged except Baber. During the voyage some of the' men voluntarily gave their de position that they had all deter mined to kill the otticera and siea the ship. Baber, who is in the city, was seen yesterday, and said that he was go ng to bring suit for back pay, against the captain, before ftie Brit sir consul. The captain scoffs tbi3 idea, however, and 6ays he does not think it will go well with him if he does. The Coldest fold. The science of chemistry, like that of geography, has its undiscovered Mbrth Pole. Four hundred and sixty one degrees below the freezing point of the Fahienheit thermometer 274 degrees C) lies a mysterious, specially in iicated deg.ee of cold, which science has long been gating toward and striving to attain, wun dering iceanwhile what may be the conditions of matter at this unex. plored point. Its existence has long been indicated and its position es tablished in two di.Teient ways, viz., the regularly diminishing volumes of trases and the steady failing off in the rasistance made by pute metals to the passage through them of elec tricity under increasing cegrees of cold. This point, to which both these processes tend as an ultimate, is called the zero of ab olute temper bture. By more than one eminent observer it is supposed to be the tem perature of interstellar space, the normal terup-ratu e of the universe. Whether or not this supposition be correct, the efforts which have been made. and are still in progress to reach this degree of cold have been many, diverse and ingenious: the equipment of the explorer being not boats, con densed foods, and the general ma chinery of ice exploration, but all the varied resources of mechanics and of chemistry which can be com bined to compass the extremest de grees of cold. From "Four Hun dred Degrees Below Ze.o," in Aic Cluxe's Magazine. Steam I in gines on Hlgtiwajs. There are now more than 8,000 Steam engines used for transport serv ice on highways in Great Britain. The fact was stated by Lieut -CoL Temnler, at the Boyal United Serv. ice iastitution, some days ago. In a lecture advocating the use of 6team transport for army purposes. He said that extensive experiments had shown that a train of wagons can, on the best roads, make but fifteen to twenty miles a day, while a traction engine can transport the same train sixty to seventy miles a day, and at less cost. Horses sooner or later give out, but the engine can keen right on, day after day, under all circum stances. The 8,000 engines men tioned are, ot course, used for a great variety of work, mainly about farms, teside simple transport There are 22.000 miles of turnpike road in Great Britain.

To take a cow from door to door and milk her la Lreseuce of each cus tomer is the very newest departure In the London milk business. It is one that is not lacking in boldness and originality, and it deserves mora success than it is likely, we fear, to meet with. The practice ia common enough in Egypt, where householders appreciate the advantage of being able to judge for themselves whether the cow from which they draw their supply look3 healthy or the reverse. But then the average Egyptian Is not the slave of 'Vhe British urban superstition which demands that milk should look thick and yellow in order to be genuine. It is ail in vain to assure most people in English towns that pure milk is not of a ricn yellow hue, and that, as a matter of tact, it ought to be white. They know better than the cow and tha milkmaid combined, and, as they de mand yellowness, they are supplied with it to their hearts content. All that has to be done, and is done, is to mix various coloring matters with the fluid, and these pigments usually are innocuous, though not always so. This popular delusion as to the ap pearance of real country milk will probably be fatal to the enterprise of the tradesman who is now taking a 'personally conducted"' cow on a milk round to the houses of his pat rons. It will be impossible to induce the cow to produce milk of the re quired color and consistency, even if it is fed ail day on buttei-cups, saf fton, and yellow chalk, and custom ers will denounce it as a bovine fraud, or, at all events, as being in a feeble and unhealthy condition. As far as the experiment has gone at present, it is said to be one to which the cows themselves take kindly. Tney do not, as we should naturally expect, object to having the milking process prolonged thiough several streets, nor will they giieadrip the less, even though crowds of idle persons assemble to see the fun. If the system "catches on" there is no doubt that the Lon doner will have cause to be thankful, because he will have a certainty of being supplied with an absolutely jure product. There would be only a few minutes between the cow and the breakfast table, and, though the tfrst person served would very likely get the most cream, ana though the sight of fine herds of kine being led through the streets in the early morning would be strange and un usual, yet in time we should all get to acknowledge the desirability of the reform if it were not for the "color blindness" to which we have referred. Norman Gauntlets. Under the Norman Kings gloves, or, more 6trictly speaking, gaunt lets, for they were made to cover the arm as well as the hand, were often richly embroidered and the backs set with piecious stones. IN'o doubt the Norman ladies, whose skill In needle work is shown by many an old frasr mentof tapestry still preserved, tbut up as they were in the gloomy re cesses of their strong castles, would find a pleasant change of occupation in ornamenting their lords' gloves with curious tracery and quaint de vices in gold and silver thread. The glove she was embi oiderlng, with its suggestions of merry hawk, lng parties by the reedy mere, of friendly contests in the tilting yard, would seem to the noble dame the token of peace'ul recreation when the iron gauntlet with its heavy linkj and chains could be safely laid aside. As a proof that glove3 at this period formed a distinctive part of the dress of persons of high rank, tradition tells that Eichard Coeur d Lion, on his way home from Pales tine through Austria, was recognized by the servants of his enemy. Duke Leopold, by the pair of jew led gauntlets whi- h he wore in his belt, these latter ill according with th disguise he had assumed of a tra"el ing meichant or home-returninj- pit grim. Ciood ords.

A C05FERESCE ON SILVER (1UESTICH Some Weeks Ag& Before the Format Aauosjieement Male of Position of llorrlll ana Blue on That Point Other PolttiCR.1 Xews. Chairman John W. Breidenthal of the Populist state central committee, today made public some confidential corres pondence between Chairman Leland of the Republican state central committee and Dick Blue, the Republican candidate for congressman-at-large. The lirst letter was written by a Rush county man, B. IL Bunn to Dick Blue, and the second from Chairman Leland to Blue. The first letter to Dick Blue was aa follows: Rush Center, Ha., June 30, '94. lion. li. W. Blue, Pleasanton, Kas. Dear Sir Yours of recent date re ceived, and I am sorry you could not be with us at our convention on the 27th, as the court house was crowded. We nom inated a good, strong ticket, with 8. I. Hale at the head for representative, I find on taking the assessor's returns of male residents that we, the Republicans, have lost more votes than the oppo sition. This will be against ua this year. Now, Mr. Blue, I promised the Republicans of this county that you would address them dur ing the campaign. Please ds not disap point them and let me know before hand ho I can give the meeting good notice. This is due us as we gave you three votes ouf of four in the convention and I went to the convention more to vote for you than any other one man. When you go to Topeka I wish you would see Mr. Leland aud have him send me A, T. S. F. transportation good until after the election. Hoping to see you soon, I am, Yours truly, B. II. Bras. The second letter written from the of fice of C. Leland, Jr., pork packer, and signed by Chairman Leland in his own handwriting, was carefully marked '"con fidential," and was as follows: Troy, Kansas, July l'2th, 189L lion. K. W. Blue, l'ieaanton, Kansas. Dear Sir: I did not have time to write you this afternoon from Topeka. iMaj. Morrill speaks at Burliagame to day. Maj. Morrill talked over the silver question and said about what he would say in his speech today, that the platform was all right, that he believed the silver produced in this country 6houId be coined, that with a duty on silver we could coin the produce of our mines, that protection to our own industries would give work to all our citizens seeking em ployment etc. 'I he major realizes the importance of the silver question, that we don't want the other parties to make that the issue with us. I do not think it necessary to confer with major about this question unless, you can meet without inconven ience to either of you. I believe bafore our campaign opens out we should have a meeting at Topeka of those who are to speak: so as to have some understand ing and agreement as to tiie line of policy of the speeches. Thii would not be ft necessary for the candidates, but I think the other speakers should have some understanding with us. There are i quite a number of things that can be discussed among ourselves, cno is cur treatment to Democrats. I believe you are all right in writing to Andy Felt. He certainly would not do you an injustice. Your friend, (Signed) C. Leland, Jr. I return Bunn's letter. I mailed pass to him today. Chairman Breidenthal savs the rail roads aro assisting the Republican state central committee in their campaign by furnishing ail the transportation asked for. Ho says, however, that the politi cians of his party aside from the state of ficers must walk or pay their fare. Two years ago the railroads furnished passes to the workers of all parties, but this year the Populists claim they are being slighted. Mr. Breidenthal says the Populist members of the legislature can't get passes and even the Populist members of the senate who lue taking part in the campaign have to pay regu lar fare. f OLE'S "IMPS OF SATAN'." CandHate for State Auditor Cola Criti cised ty a Cririr;i Farmer. A correspondent of the Kansas Farmer who signs himself ''Horace" is after Geo. Ju. Cole, the Republican candidate for state auditor, who he says "allowed the imps of satan to have full swing" at the Crawford county fair held last week at Girard. In tbe last issue of the Kansas Farmer this correspondent says: "One thing, however, marred the good results of the Girard fair, and ihat was the admittance of fakirs, gamblers, thugs and joint-keepers. Iheir numbers appeared to be legion, for one could meet them on every turn, fleecing everybody right and left as fast as a chance would admit. Scores of parents came with their children to attend the fair; they paid their admission fees, but after entering the ground and see ing the condition of surroundings, they would not remain and be a party to lead ing their children and those of their neighbors into the very pit of damnation, such as existed so openly within the con fines and jurisdiction of the association's grounds and by consent of the fair man agement. By the way. the secretary who issued the permits allowing satan's imps to have fuil swing on the fair grounds, is the nominee for state auditor upon the ticket of one of the parties now before the Jan Eas people, and his name is Cole."

The Blinded Ofilcer 'ire Two Knot After II iiu and Bringta Hint to II Kit. Sidney Pickens, the young scamp who was found guilty of burglary in the dis trict court this morning, made a desper ate effort to escape from Deputy Sheriff Dan Jones as he was being taken to the county jail, shortly before noon today. At the alley which separates the county jail from the city prison, Pickens sud denly took a handful of cayenne pepper from his right hand coatpocket and dashed it into the officer's face. Shouting "I'm gone," Pickens ran north up the alley. Jones was blinded for a moment and the pain was terrible, but he drew his revolver and started after the young desperado. Two shota were fired, the first striking a brick in the wall of the stoneyard and glaucing over Pickens shoulder, and the other passing through the left leg of Pickens' trousers. North of the jail Pickens turned west towards the new court house. This was his great mistake, for Jones was able to get a clear shot at him. Pickens real ized this, and as Jones was in the act of firing a third time the prisoner stopped, and throwing up his hands, cried: "I'm done! Don't shoot!" Jones didn't shoot, but after the excitement was over and the pepper begah to more forcibly get in its work, he almost wished he had shot again, a view in which his friends agreed with him. Pickens trembling in every limb from excitement was taken back to the county jail. His chagrin was great and he said, sullenly, 'Tf the pepper had done its work, 1 would have done mine." Later he tried to square himself with Jones and said: I hated to throw that stuff in your face, Dan, on the square I did." "What did you do it for, then?" Jones demanded. "Because I had to." 'No you didn't." "Well, I wanted to escape. I didn't get a fair shake at tho trial." "Well, that wasn't my fault, was it?" Pickens was searched thoroughly be fore being locked up again, but the only things found in his possession were a cigar and a large pocket-knife. The shooting attracted a large crowd, and Sherilf Burdgo was on the spot a bhort time after it occurred. Pickens is a son of Policeman Pickens, and has been in the penitentiary before. Tlio Trial of the Case. The jury returned a verdict of "guil ty" at 1U:3J this morniug after being out an hour. The evidence and arguments in the Pickens case were completed late last evening. The offence consisted in burg larizing Culver Bailey's hardware store and stealing a cabefuil of revolvers and razors. Con Ryan is said to have been associated with Pickens in the theft. The prosecution was ablo to trace mi nuiely tho journey of the young men from Topeka to Leavenworth, which they made in a buggy. 1 hey stopped at Osawkee, Aleriden and Oskaloosa. At Leavenworth the young men attempted to sell their stolen razors to a colored barber. The barber was in court wear ing a very high collar and a look of dig nity. '.-ilate 3'cur name and occupation," said County Attorney Safford. "I am William Augustus Lightfoot, a tonsorial artist of Leavenworth, Leaven worth county, Kansas, sah." Oh, you are a barber? Well, Mr. Whitscop I mean Air. Lightfoot, tell us what you know about this case." Air. Lightfoot replied that the men had offerej to sell him a number of 'Vazzers" cheap but he was "ieary of them" and refused to purchase. The evidence against Picken3 peems to be very con clusive. Ryan will be tried later. ORPHANS INVITED To See Uncle Tom's Cabin at tho Topeka Theater This Afternoon.

Holmes has proper requisions for his re turn east, but unfortunately Powers is tansrled up in litigation of the same sort in Emporia aud llolton. which must bo disposed of before he can be taken to Illinois. Powers says "thero is some ground for the case against me in Illi nois, although it isn't so bad as they make out; but the cases against me at Emporia and llolton are malicious and I inteud to vindicate myself before going back."
