How the Great Increase Was Made A Few Secrets. :EAR TEN THOUSAND. This IV.p.'r Shows a Daily Average of ,0G, Covering the Three Dull Sum ner Months. This paper devotes very little of It3 space to boast. ng of ita great growth and circulation, but feels sure that its readera appreciate sor lething ia that line occa sionally, henca si few remarks today. During the twelve months ending with the ls-t of September the Topkka Daily Statk Journal has made a growth which is almost incredible without the figures, which are given below, to provo it. That ia to say, the circulation of this paper has increased over fifty per cent in one year, and a thousand per ceut ia the nine years during which it has been under its pressat management. With the exception of the past twelve months the growth has been gradual. Ho great was tie prejudice against the State Journal when its present pro prietor bought the property at receiver's sale in 18S5, that it required several years to inako any considerable head way. The following table gives some perti neut azures concerning the circulation of the Daily State Journal: I ei the year loss ttie c.rcuiation was SOO January 1. 1-j )i 3.1'5 l.i iy avrnuf ft r year l?i -i,;s-4i ImiiV avef.i.rf ter year S.'Jt: l'atly averax' fc-r year ltA i,-'13 luti.y average far chre month 4 ending At.f.lt 81. 5,732 Uuily arfrajc for three luuulhs t u il I1114 August 21, 18U4 S.MOU It ia generally conceded that moat newspapers have lost heavily in circula tion during the last year owing to the hard times. This paper owes its progress under the adverse circumstances to several reasons and condition, namely: In the first place the STATE JOSSNAL is a 1TEWS paper, nit ai cran. Its first ambi tion is to priat the news and print it first All othor considerations, including the furtherance of aay political party's interests, are secondary. It tries to be truthful, fair and enterprising. It punc tures hypocr'y and pretended reform w herever it tees it. The remarkable reason for the growth, however, lies in the fact that more labor has teen expended, more money paid out, more pr.nters employed, more re porters at work, more local and tele graph news p atlished than during any Similar period in the paper's history. Tope peopls never got so much news f or 30 cents a week as they are getting now in the Stitk Journal. The daily lecal circulation of this paper has foryears greatly exceeded that of any oth er Topeka dally, being double that of its only riv al, tho morning paper. The State Jocrnal'8 t:tal circulation now leads them alL The State Journal has never made any great claims as to its outside circulation over the state, but during the past twelve months while a tig growth hts been made in the city, it has made greit strides on the outside. Within a radias of fifty miles of Topeka Its outside circulation exceeds that of auy daily prated at Topeka. The Topeka Capital frequently pub lishes a statement that it pays more post age than the State Jouknal and more ia fact than all the other Topeka dailies combined. This was doubtless true, but as no postage is paid on any papers cir culated in lopefca, or Shawnee county, the Capital's own boast shows its meager local circulation when the State Jour nal's total da.ly circulation exceeds that cf th3 Capital.

Merit "o Coupon Take. -t To attain this great increase the State Journal has simply relied on its merits as a newspaper coupled with energetic efforts and a liberal expenditure of mon ey. The expenses of the paper exceed by 500 a month those of a year ago; but It paid, you see. We gave no cliromss, watchss, encyclopedaes or portf alios, and kept entirely aloof from all tha coupon "fakes" which other papers have used to bolster up their circulation. The State Journal Lks the most mar velous and complete jriuting press (see picture) used in the state. Its capacity is three complete eight-page papers a second, printed at one time and deliv ered folded, counted in bunches of fifties.

The Ex aminer says: lieiijamiu Shearer, mana ger of the Western Union telegraph office at Reno, Nev., and his corps of as sistants have been dismissed from the service at the instigation of the war de partment of the United btates. lie and his operators were at the same time indirectly charged with conspiracy but after the dismissals the charges were not pressed. During the recent strike of the A. R U., in which the regular army took a prominent part, a corps from Utah was stationed at Keuo for the alleged pur pose of protecting the railroad compa nies' property. Some move of the troops, was to be made and Adjutant Bowlen, who was ia charge of the signal corps of the detachment was obliged to telegraph for instructions. lie marched his corps up to the telegraph otlice and demanded that Shearer and his operators vacate the othce while he, with the operators con nected with his command, at;ked for and I received tiie necessary instructions over j the wires from headquarters. enearer reiuseu to leave the oriice. He considered that h and his men were perfectly able to conduct the business of the office, and the rules of the company were that none but regular employes of the office should have access to the wires. The adjuant ia his military way could not quite understand the position taken by the telegraph manager, yet he was obliged to file his message in the regu lar way. lie complained to his superiors of the refusal of Shearer to let him use the wires, and in the complaint he al leged that Shearer and his operators were in sympathy with the strikers and ac quainted them with ull of the telegraph ic messages concerning the movement of the troops. This complaint was sent to the war department at Washington and from there it was sent to Gen. Rugrer for investigation. Gen. Huger in turn sent a copy of the complaint to Frank Jaynes Pacilic coast superintendent of the Western Union Telejrraph company,who in turn discharged the Keno employes. The action stopped ail further proceed ings as far as the charge of conspiracy was concerned. SECY. CARLISLE DECIDES. On Clause of Tariff Kill A OVct lngCanadlau Lumber unl Suar.

It May not Fight to Protect Property if X"ay Isn't Forthcoming. Chicago, Sept. 11. Mutiny is brew ing in the ranks of Battery D. A move ment is on foot among the men to refuse to put on their uniforms or to drill again until they have received what the state of Illinois owes them for their services at the front during the recent strike dis turbances. Some of them openly declare that in case the governor should lind it neces sary to calT them out again they would refuse to respond on the ground that the state had failed to 'fulfill its part of the contract, thus releasing them from ful filling theirs. It was with great difficulty that tho battery was kept from breaking away and refusing to obey orders at the regu lar weekly driil Saturday night. The prevailing discontent was openly manifested in the presence of tha offi cers, and if -anything had happened to stir the men up a mutiny could not have been averted. After the drill was over a committee from the company called on Captain Alfred liussell in his office and a hot dis cussion of the situation followed, lie said at once that it was impossible for him to do auythiug, and ho was as anx ious to get his salary as the men were to get theirs. A member of the com mittee then asked why the bnt tiry in the association did not Liaise an effort to pay at least part of the money to relieve the distress of some of the members of the command, and have lost their positions or are for some other reason in hard circumstances. The cap tain replied that the association was spending all the money it could get in paying the regular running expenses of the armory, and the committee went away without having received a grain of comfort. Since that time the spirit of discontent has grown rwpidly, and it it likely to bear fruit next Saturday uight in an open refusal to drill. The men have not yet decided as to what plan they will fellow, but it is generally understood among them that a light of some kind will be made. When the men marched in after the close of the strike they expected to draw their pay, about 61) to each man, with out any delay, aud it was the keenest disappointment to them when they learned that the money might not be forthcocdng for months. Discontent was kept in check by the hope that some body of wealthy men would take hold of the matter and see that they got their pay. Last week they lost hope of receiving any help from this sonrco and talk of mutiny, has since been freely indulgwd in. The state government, however, has done everything possible to secure the payment of the men. The militia appro priation being exhausted no funds will be available before the next session of the legislature next w'nter, but Govern or Altgeld has offered personally to guar antee the payment of all such sums ad vanced by bankers and ethers pending the meeting of the legislature, both the principal aud interest. Mil. WHALE lr HEARD. lie Says That Mr. Elliott Bid Bring Cjrui Corning to llim. To the Editor of the State Journal: The story as told in the Jackson county paper and reprinted in last evening's Journal, is substantially true. Just be fore Governor Lewelling's inauguration, Charles Elliott, at that tima a clerk in the railroad comminsioner's office, brousrht Cyrus Corning to the state auditor's office and introduced him to me, stating that he (Corniug) desired assistance in start ing a paper with which he intended to fight the Leweliing administration. After that visit I was called by telephone to the railroad commissioner's office, where I again met both gentlemen aud told them 1 could not contribute. E. B. W HALEY. War in the F.at IndiM.

They Were Thrown at a Pro hibition Speaker On Kansas Avenue By Hoodlums Last Xight. DISGRACEFUL AFFAIR. The Enemies of the Prohib itory Law Permitted to Assault a Peaceful Speaker. POLICEMAN PRESENT. He Made Xo Attempt to Arrest the Perpetrators. Temperance sentiment is not what it ought to be in Topeka when a Prohibition speaker is pelted with eggs on Kansas avenue, and yet this is what occurred last night, A. Q. Wilson, who has for some time been making temperance speeches on the street nightly, was pelted with eggs by liquor sympathizers at the corner of Fifth street and Kansas avenue last night about half past eight o'clock. Mr. Wilson, who was assisted by an elderly man who sings, was just con cluding hia meeting and was taking dowu his gasoline lamp, when some one back in the crowd threw an egg, which missed the mark and smashed on a by stander's shirt front. Another egg fol lowed, which was aimed straight, aud it struck Mr. Wilson squarely on top of the head; a third egg was thrown, which hit the lamp Mr. Wilson was taking down. Mr. Wilson did not quail before the egg throwers, as he says he got used to that kind of treatment in California sev eral years ago, and he anuounced thai, he would hold another meeting Weduesday evening, at tho corner ol Seventh and Kansas avenue. W ilson had been talking very plainly. In the early part of his speech, he ac cused the police department of being corrupted by the enemies of temperance, and then said the county authorities were no better. When he uttered this sentiment there was a slight commotion in tiie crowd, but no one said anything, although there were about 150 people present When Wilson concluded hia speech he got do-'n from his platform and hia as sistant commenced to sing:. The crowd did not want to hear any singing, and the '"Sankey" of the combi nation was jeered and told to quit, while there were continued calls for "Shorty," as Mr. Wilson is called by hia street auditors. Wiison concluded it was time to quit, aud got up to put out his light when the egg's were thrown. The crowd was ap parently in sympathy with the man who threw the eggs and cheered loudly. A policeman stood on the sidewalk and witnessed the entire disgraceful per formance, and made no attempt to arrest the perpetrators of the deed. Policeman Jones is in charge of the beat 011 Fifth street from Kansas avenue to the Santa Fe depot, and Policeman Russell has the beat on Kansas avenue between Fourth and Sixth streets. It must have been one of the two. Police man Jones says he was on the other end of the beat and came running up Fifth street, but when he arrived the egg thrower could not bo apprehended, and the affair was all over. Wilson is not a brilliant talker, but he has a way of putting facts which is not pleasing to the enemies of temperance and prohibition, aud this is no doubt the reason Topeka's record was broken, and for the first time in her history a temper ance speaker was egged. Some of Mr. Wilson's friends say he is indiscreet, which may be so, but as long as ho himself does not disturb the peace, he should be given protection and the hoodlums should not bo allowed to as sail him. SAM JONES' HOT WORDS. Ridicules the Idea That Saloon Keepers Can be Slandered. Memphis, Tenn., Sept. 11. Rev. Sam Jones was seen on a Louisville Xash ville train and had this to say about the liquor dealers of St. Louis: "After I left St. Louia I was informed by the press of the action on the part of the liquor dealers, which was unsuc cessful. I laughed at the affair, and con sidered it a very fine joke. The idea of a lot of red-nosed dispensers of fire water accusing me of slandering them! How can they be sland ered? I might publicly call them all of the hard names in my vocabulary and then fall short of the roasting that they deserve. Slander them'r It makes me laugh. A lot of unprincipled home-destroyers who day after day, by their ne farious trade, wreck tho lives of our j'oung men and cause tears of shame to course down the cheeks of mothers, fathers and sisters. You might as well try to perfume a skunk by pouring Ger man cologne on him aa to try and slander a liquor dealer. You can't do it. "Talk about skinning pooplo with the skin on, you just wait until I dictate my letter to the press in regard to that slander business. If I don't give them a wholesale dose, then my name is not Sam Jones. Xatiaasl Ii.ee Icy liCijoei. Colorado Springs, Colo., Sept. 11.

Ills victims in clude prominent Kew Yorkera and other residents of the United States and Canada, llow far the scheme has succeeded has not yet been deter mined, but one victim, James II. Beatty, president of the German and Northwest insura jce company of On tario, Canada, and of the Federal life insurance company of Hamilton, Ont, swears he has lost 837,500, and it is charged that the goal of John C.

The company was first organized on January 7, 1892, under the name of the Arizona and Sonora Land and Irrigation company, but the title was chana-od on January 9, 1893, to its present form. Its ostensible object was to carry on the irrig-ation of land iu California, Arizona, Lower Cali fornia and Mexico. Its capital stock was 87,500.000, divided into 150,000 shares of 4,50 each. According- to the complaint, how ever, the company was organized by John C. I'.eatty for his sole interest and benefit, and to enable hira to real ize $7,500, 000 on a tract of worthless land containing- 1, 300,000 acres on the Altar river in the province of Sonora, Mexico, to which, it is said, he did not even have a title. Having org-anized the company and obtained the issue of capital stock by alleged fraud a nd fictitious state nents, it is charg-ed, John C. Beatty went about negotiating- with the object of transferring the land to the company for the whole of its capital stock, or 7,500,000. The land formed part of what is known in Mexico as the Jecher concession, the meaning of which is not explained in the complaint, but it is charg-ed that John C Beatty had no title to it. The board of directors, it is charged, were then, as now, the mere tools find creatures of John C Beatty, ready and willing- at all times to tarry out his behests. The president of the board was Charles II. Dow, and by a vote of the majority it was agreed to transfer 250,000 shares of the stock to Join C lieatty for 57,500,000 as soon as it was possible to carry out the transfer. The direc tors being Mr. Beatty'a factotums, made no effort to investigate either the character of the land or the genuineness of Mr. Beatty's title to it. To further facilitate matters, Mr. Beatty's board of directors decided to appoint him manf ger, with exclusive control of the al?a rsof the company, s.t a salary of 0,000, while Frank A. Miller, concerned with Beatty, was elected vice president of the company and also given a salary of 80,000 a year, both of which transactions are charged to be illegal. The first actual transfer of stock was made on Jan uary 10 by the board of directors, when S4.CK0 shares were transferred to John C. Beatty on the basis of 560 acres of land, or one shafe for ten acres. John CX. Beatty himself pre sided at this meeting, and against the yrotests of James II. Beatty, a stock holder, it was agreed to issue 56,000 fchares of new stock. The known assets of the company did not exceed 840.(H). It had no bank account since last, October, and was obliged to g-ive .p its office at 60 Broad street, this city, last July, for non-payment of rent. Its ofilces in Philadelphia.

Charged With Violating United States Statutes, IX. ISSUING $200,000 Of Mississippi Special Warrants in Imitation of Money. Jackson-, Miss., Sept. 11. Warrant were yesterday sworn out for the arrest of the following- stata ofScers of Mississippi: J. M. Stone, governor; W. W. Stone, auditor, and J. J. Evans; state treas urer. William J. Burns, special agent of the secret service bureau at Wash ington, who has been here for the past two months on the special war rant case, has made affidavit before Commissioner L. B. Mosely, charging them with violating section 5,430 of the revised statutes of the United States in issuing 200,000 Mississippi special warrants, charged to be in the similitude of United States currency. The warrant was placed in the hands ot United States Marshal J. McNealy. Auditor Stone appeared before the commissioner and entered into per sonal recognizance for $1,000 for his appearance at the November term of the circuit court, waiving examina tion. The warrants have not been served on Governor Stone, who was officially engaged, nor on State Treasurer Evans, who is out of the city. They will be served on the governor to-day and on the treasurer when he returns. The affidavit contains three charges conta:ning each of the three denominations of warrants with a photograph print of both the front and back of the same. These charges allege that on the 15th day of June, 1894, the aforesaid men tioned state officials did unlawfully and feloniously at Jackson, Miss., and not by direction of any proper officer of the United States, print, photo graph, make and caused to be printed, photographs, prints or impressions of the likeness of national bank currency of said United States. The state officers have been expect ing these proceeding-s for several days and were not therefore the least sur prise 1 when served. They appeared not al all disturbed and are sanguine of the successful termination of the issue. The first demand made by the United States government was a few days ago, when Special Officer Burnes demanded the canceled plates from which the warrants were printed. His demand was refused. lie wired the result to Washington and re ceived instructions to swear out war rants for the arrest of the officials. Governor Stone was seen, and said the state officials had no purpose to violate any United States law, and that he did not believe that such law had been violated; that the matter was now to come before a court for which he had the greatest respect and in which he had the utmost con fidence. He did not, therefore, care to publicly discuss the matter. United States Senators G. Z. George and A. J. McLaurin and ex-Chief Jus tice J. A. P. Campbell have been re tained by the state officials to defend them. 31AINE ELECTION. Eepnblicaoi Carry the State toy the Lamest Majority In its History. Augusta, Me., Sept. 11.

ALL ALOXG THE LINE TheAIarchcrs Are Regaled With Lemonade. Emerg-ency Hospital Tents to Care tor the Tired. Pittsburg, Sept. 11. Forty thousand men who fought to save the union marched through the cities of Pittsburg aud Allegheny today. The old familiar war tunes to which they and their com rades rushed to victory or to death filled the air and echoed buck from the sur rounding hills. The music Liade their hearts beat as in the stirring times of thirty years ago and brought the flush of patriotism and cour age to their cheeks. 3ut while they stepped out boldly an 1 bravely, they could net straighten their bent forms nor conceii their gray hairs and furrowed cheeks. They aided their aged limbs with walking canes, while here and there in the line of blue, came a com rade On crutches. They marched no more beneath the yawning muzzles of frowning cauuou. but paat battery after battery of bright eyes while the fair enemy waved white handkerchiefs and applauded with shrill sweet voices. On every street corner and vacant lot rose tier after tier of human faces, and as the veterans passed cheer after cheer greeted them. Every window along the route, the tire escapes aud roof tops were crowded, while the sidewalks were packed solidly from the building line to the wire ropes stretched along the curb to prevent interference with the free tnovem.mt of the parade of the grand army of the republic, 'I he decorations of the two cities were most lavish. It was stated by men who attended many previous encampments that while individual displays may have excelled in other cities, they had never seen depurations on such a gener ous and general scule. Hardly a dwell ing, no matter how poor, or how far from the route of parade, but at least had a i flag and usually a uisplay of bunting as well, while the business houses in every purt of the cities made a gorgeous show ing. lhis was probably the last time the veteraus would turn out iu such force, as it if seriously contemplated by the G. A R. officials, in view of the advancing age aud infirmities of the maaiberi, to aban don this most attractive feature of the national encampment. Governor Pattiaon, cf Pennsylvania, with his stall and a number of notable t men and women from all parts of the country, occupied the reviewing stand in Allegheny park, and saluted each divis ion as it swung around and passed in re view. The arrangements for the corrfjrt of the marchers were excellent. At short distances apart were stationed e mergency hospital, with the red cross fluttering 1 before the door, while all along-the route were men with cool water and lemonade for the veterans. It is impossible to form any accurate estimate of the spectators who witnessed the parade today. Every available inch aiong the route was parked; every side street was jammed full for a hundred yards back and the house tops for blocks were hidden by thousands of applauders. A rough estimate is that between 5J0. 000 and 000,000 people saw the parade. Of this number 300,000 came over the railroads 100,000 arriving this morning. The almost innumerable lines of eiectric roads running to thicily settled suburbs within a radius of fifteen miles brought as many more. out ia force, but few being seen out of line while the parade was moving. The weather was perfect. The sky put on its deepest blue tint, relieved here and there by white fleecy clouds.

At the church, a large congregation w itnetaed the ceremony over the remains of their dead brother, 'lhe altar was beautifully aud tastefully decorated with floral tributes to the departed friend sheps. The casket sat o.i its black ped estals on the black robes and was almost covered with flowers. Oa the casket rested the funeral plate of heavy silver of the M. W. of A.

The only members of the family from a distance at the funeral were his broth ers, George Hunter from Pennsylvania and John Hunter from Kentucky. IT WILL RE HOTTER. Observer Jenuings Says Xext "Weelt May lie a. Scorcher. The weather continues to be cool and delightful. Last night the mercury dropped to 45 degreos, or within 13 of freezmg point. This afternoon it is 71 at the observing station, or 3 degrees cooler than yesterday. Lieutenant Jennings predicts an other hot spell before the close of the month, which will probably come next week. He bases his calcula tions not only on present indications but the precedent for the past seven years. On September 14, 1893, the thermometer jumped up to .10o degrees. In 1887 it was hot on the 19th and 20th. In 1SS9 it was hottest from the '20th to the 24th. In 1891 it was extremely hot from the 15th to 20th. In 1S92 it was intolerable on the 22d aud24:h. MR.

IERVY WOMEI Arm Themselves With Shovels and Drive Away Workmen. A Lively Fight at Setauket, Long Island. NAHIXG OF A STREET Causes the Row Women Want It Called "Bay view.' Xew York, Sept. 11. Setauket, the pretty little village of Long Island, was the scene of a little tight between a num ber of prominent men aud women of the place. The women, armed with shovels, won a temporary victory, and the high way commissioners will be on hand to day to settle the difficulty. The trouble arose over the naming of Bayview, or Hand avenue, a short street running from the Main street to the bay. N. Hand, a wealthy retired ship builder, wants the street to bear hi3 name. His neighbors are in favor of having the street named Bayview. Oa several oc casions Mr. Hand erected signs with the name "JIaad avenue"' on the street. No sooner were they put up than they were taken away by the indignant resi dents. A short time asro an iron post having Hand's name cut on it, was sawed off at night and carried away. Several weeks later Mr. Hand had iron signs cast with Hand avenue in big letters on the cross piece. The signs arrived yes terday and Mr. Ilaud's workmen began to put them up. Each one weighed half a ton and required half a dozen men to handle it. A gang of laborers had dug the holes and were ready to set the posts iu position, when a band of women with sleeves rolled up and shovels in hand ap peared. The women spread over the street and part of them began to till up the holes dug by Hand's worlanen, while the balance kept the men at tyy with their shovels. Dirt and stones hew in every direction. No sooner would one woman be driven from her work than she was reinforced by three or four companions, until the hole was tilled up. The women persisted in the tight for half an hour. Finally their adversaries threw down their spades aud left them in charge of the field. After all the holes had been filled up the women waved their aprons iu triumph and defied Hand to put up the signs. Mr. Hand says the signs will go up, cost what it may. The women are fully determined they shall not. The light is likely to be renewed again. TIM ON FOUND GUILTY. Other Work Dune in the Shawnee District Court Today. Jointigt Ed i'imon, who ran a club over A'oody'a barber shop, iu North Topeka, was found guilty of selling liquor on four counts in the district court today. Ho has not been sentenced yet, and he cluims he is going to carry his case up to the supreme court. There was no evidence in the case, aa it had been submitted to Judge Hazen on a statement of facts agreed to by County Attorney Safford and Timon's attorney. Eugene Hagan. Judge Hazen, after examining this statement of facts decided Timou was guilty on four counts. The penalty would probably be ?400 lino and 120 days. Mr. Hagan was given time in which to prepare his case for the su preme court. It is a significant fact that four of the witnesses who bought beer at Timon's "club" were not members of the club. Slelimail Pleads Ouilty. "Speedy" Stenman, the little one-eyed bootblack who was an accomplice with Frank White in breaking into the First Baptist church, went before Judge Hazen this morning and pleaded guilty to burg lary in the second degree. Clarence McDonald, the third accomplice in the case, will probably plead guilty tomor row, Stenman who is sixteen years old, was sentenced to serve in the state reform school until he shall become 21 years of age, where he can be taught true sweet ness of character under the example of Superintendent Hitchcock. White was also sentenced to the same place for the same period. Out on Habeas Corpus. John Barnea, who ia charged with breaking into a district school house and stealing a large dictionary, was released from the county jail today on a writ of habeas corpus granted by Judge Hazen. The writ was granted on the ground that the papers in the case were improperly drawn up. Barnes was CTinmitted by Justice W. L. Black of Auburn, The commitment on which he was locked up was a most re markable instrument from a legal stand point. It was not drawn in proper form and a school boy could have clothed it in better terms. '1 here was no transcript from Justice Black's court and no com plaint or warrant.

Purnlihed by th Associated Presi to th State Journal. Chicago, Sept 11. -The mathematicians of the board of trade are tituriut' out tho aggregate crop yields of wheat and corn j from the averages of condition given m the government crop summary was some what like that problem in tho higher mathematics, the solution of which ia zero or infinity. The wheat crop, accord ing to this, that and the other's experts' figures amounted anywhere from 403 to 450 million bushels, and the figures ou corn varied aa widely. Both grains opened higher, but there were more sell era than buyers, and the advance did not hold good. The easy feeling in wheat was as sisted by lower prices at Liverpool. De cember opened sfef jc higher at 57, 57gC, sagged off to 577 and rallied to 67i8c. Corn opened raggedly higher, on the lower condition as shown in the govern ment report, with May quoted at 55,j 5034C against oosu'c at the close yester day, but there seemed to be an impres sion that the report had been fully dis counted, and on free selling the price rapidly slid oil to 53c, but recovered to 551-2C May oats opened c higher at 36c, sold at 35gC and at Uo'c Provisions opened higher in sympathy with corn and on tho light receipts of hogs, but at once broke badly.

Washtngtoh, Sept 11. Forecast till 8 p. m.t Weduesdav For Kansas Fair, slowly rising temper iture; southerly winds. The withdrawal of J 1 Hudson in the Third district means that the fight ia over in that district. Jeff Hudson throws up the sponge. Is the Populist party marching through a slaughter Lous to an open grave. The hard pressed farmers of Kansas expected so much from the Populist par ty. It ia a shame that they have been so deceived. Senator Puffer says this eesaion of congress was nothing- bat a "grab game." Bo the senator grabbed at salt and wool; with indifferent success, however. Kiowa County Signal: Tha State Jourxal of Topeka ia the only reliable Republican newspaper published at the state capital; and it gives all the news, too. Nothing prevents a man from being a Democrat. Cue of tha hardest workers ia last Saturday's convention ia an avowed socialist, and an ablo advocate of so cialism. Pastor "Wake is bnng more or less persecuted for his opinions. He will find that the right of free speech while not denied, involves a gra.it many incon veniences. Will, Col. Tonilinsou shut up all the wicked drug store when he is elected pro Late judge? The coloiel never drinks a drop, and can't be expected to look with too kind an eye on illegal liquor selling. "Tub Autobiography of a President" la this moatL' Cosmopolitan, ought to be read by everybody who is in danger of becoming too much of a partisan. Even Senator lagalla could enjoy a laugh over it. Charlie Uollidat will have more fun out of running for oZice than he did out of running a newjpaper. Charlie always looks cn the cheerful side of everything; oca may lay, on the humor ous side. The Mayor has the old-fashioned no tion that be ia mayor of all the people in Topeka, and not merely the representa tive of a party. This is one of the few old-faahioued notious that this age ought to endorse. It ia to be hoped that the pretty little euburb of Lowraan Hill is not to be rended asunder, because the Ilev. Rich ard Wake stands on hit rlarhta as a citizen and insists on talking prohibition to the people there. It is agreeable to note that Gaspard C Cl'mens ia hil new njvel happily mar ries everybody oil Mr. Clemsns, fortu nately doesn't believe in auarchy ia the relations between men and women, whatever he may thick about it politi cally. The in&ueatial papers in this state are joining the Statk Juhnai. in calling attention to the evil of judges taking railroad passe. We l ope they will keep up the agitation. lie .it winter let us have Boiae wholesome legislation, on this subject. Meantime the judges ought to return their parses. Txzs so-called "Municipal League" which started out to trosecute the joint keepers, ought to beoocne a municipal league in earnest and enlarge its sphere and its membership. There is room for much educational work ia line with what la being done by municipal leagues in othar cities. Independence in politics is the puri fying element that driyes out corruption. Vote with whatever prty suits you, but insist that the men who hold odea ia that party shall be worthy your vote. Always reserve the right to tira them down if they are not the right kind of men. It is the independent elenuat ia th Populist party that ia going to vote again3t evil leaders in that party t lis year, and it was the Independent voter in the Republican party who rebuked hij party two years ago. Tha independent voter ia the hope cf the cotmtry. No very Lig political iaala can Le pat through If Lo la oa jjnard, General Coxet ia making his cam paign for congress ia the Massillou dis trict in a UQique way, If he should suc ceed it may reasonably be expected that the circus method of carrying on a campaign will becoma p opular. An or ganization of a similar scheme was pro posed by some Populists in thia stats two years ago, but it fell through for either lacs of money or of nerve to carry it out. Another result of tha success of the Coxey method would be the demonatra tioa of the value of advertising ia poli tics. Wherever liberal and judicious advertising has been tried it has paid and why should it cot pay Coxey? Senator Puffer's statement that he voted for a tariff, on salt because tha tar iff matter waa a grab game in which each member tried to get all he could for his constituents, will hardly justify such a course in the eyes of the people. Unless free salt would reduce the price of that commodity to the consumer, he needed no excuse or apology for his vote. If, on the other hand, a tarid on suit was to put money into the pockets of a dozen men at Hutchison at the expense of the rest of the people of the state, then his vote on that phaaa of the bill was hardly justified. THINGS LOOK BETTER. T. 1$. Jennlnict' Weekly Weather-Crop Bulletin a Cheerful One. The following is the weekly weather crop bulletin of the Kansas weather er vice for the week ending September 10, 1894: The conditions have teea very favor able thia week, for although there has been a daily average of nearly sis de grees excess in temperature, yet U sun shine has been more nearly normal, while the rainfall has generally been much above the average.

Brother's Wheel CT1 With Dlnas trons Rasnlta by Two Sisters. There is a New York family which has a country place in Westchester sounty. In the family are two young women who (in town, at any rate) are extremely digni.led and extremely sonventionaL There ia also a brother, who beeame infatuated with the idea that it would be good exer cise for him to ride a bicycle. Oa a tnnlight evening, when the brother was not at home, the two sisters stole quietly out to the barn and brought forth the bicycle. They were arravel In strange and weird costumes which they had improvised f or the occasion. They wheeled the "machine' over to the tennis court and than, for the benefit of the sleepless Hara and the wide-awake moon, gave an exhibition of attempted bicycle-riding which would make the fortune of a roof-garden miD&jar. The result of that little performance, not counting in the bicycle, may be summarized as follows: One wrecked tennis net, two broken poles, twenty five square yards of ruined turf, jrushed and broken shrubbery in lare quanties.one twinted ankle, one knee sap bruised, two arms stiffened, and seventeen separate and distiuot blaek-nd-blue spots. "It'a funny," say the girls, con fidentially, "that a bicycle goes back ward when you want it to go ahead, nd can run into two dozen things at one time." "What I can't understand," says the brother to the whole family, "is how a load of brick fell on my bicycle when it was locked up in the barn." The girls have nothing' to bay to this, and when their brother is in their presence they heroically walk without limping. A Healthful Enterprli for Olrls. A writer recommends g'irls who wish to make money at a healthy oc cupation to try the raising- of flower eeda for market. Begin, he suggests, with the seeds of some such popular Bower as the sweet pea or aster or phlox, set aside some choice plants, find train them for competition; go to dealer in flower seeds in your town or community and tell him what you are doing and ask him to give your seeds a trial. Advertise in your local paper and by and by you will have built up for yourself a business and be earning something all the time. As an instance of extreme success the writer refers to sweet pea enterprises that bora seed abundantly, one of them three tons in a year, which were sold at a crood profit.

It Will He Held In Washing-toa In Octo ber Something About the Origin and Gowth of the Society Ita Wsik and Alma. The present may very properly be termed an ago cf societies. Whoso has an object, grave or gay, important or cf little moment, to accomplish straight way forms a club or a brotherhood or a eociety, and if the reason for the organi zation have any vitality at all the thing sought to be accomplished is already as good as done. The convention of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew that ia to be held in Wash ington next October, beginning on the 11th and lasting four days, will be a gathering of one cf the most important Bocieties, looked at from a religious standpoint, now in existence. The brotherhood was formed 11 years ago. Its founders were young men, all members of the Bible class attached to the Sunday school of one of the Episco pal churches in Chicago. Their teacher, a banker of the town, was a young man, too, and they often talked of and la mented the fact that more young men did not feel called upon to live active Chris- .".ft. -sA JAMES L. HOUGHTELINO. tian lives to take part in the work of the church and the promotion of good habits and upright life among their fel lows. One day some member of the class euggested that a society of Christian young men bo formed for the doing of Christian work among young men. The idea pleased, and the society came into being, its name being chosen not in hon or of Scotland's tutelary saint, but be cause the original idea of the organiza tion was suggested by the following passage of Scripture: "One of the two which heard John speak and followed him wa3 Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. He first findeth his own brother, Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messiaa. And he brought him to Jesus." John i, 40, 41. The now brotherhood was organized very carefully and with due regard to the performance of effective work. Its members, though all at first from the one Bible class andof the Episcopal faith, were of various walks in life physi cians, lawyers, clerks, merchants, me chanics but all young and earnest. They adopted a badge and set about their self appointed task with a wilL Mindful of the mandate, "Forget not the assembling of yourselves together," they sought to impress the necessity of church attendance upon all with whom they came in contact, confining their efforts to the winning of young men. One brotherhood man who had a friend in view went so far as to change a pleas ant for an unpleasant boarding house so that ho might be near the object of his solicitous care. It is stated that the young man was won. It was not long before the pews of the parish church that was headquarters of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew began to fill with young men, whereas tbey had before been conspicuous mainly be cause of their absence. Then the news of the new departure began to spread, and presently inquiries were made by devout young men of other parishes looking to the establishment therein of similar brotherhoods. So the brother hood grew and multiplied, and in 1886 there were enough brotherhoods to make it worth while to bold a convention. It was not a large gathering, but it was a fervent one, and its plain talks, straight from the heart, detailing experiences of brotherhood men in their work among their fellows, were of great value in strengthening and enlightening those who were present. "When it was over, they went out fortified in their deter mination not to "count all men breth ren, but for each to "count every man his brother." Conventions since that time have been held in New York, Cleveland, Philadelphia, St. Louis, Bos ton and Detroit in the order named. The attendance at these gatherings has been quite a thousand in number for two or three years now, and it is ex pected that it will be still larger at Washington. It will include a large delegation from Canada, for the brother hood was heard of there some time ago and has made for itself a foothold in 149 parishes, with over 2,000 members. In Scotland the society flourishes, a concordat having been signed between the order there and here, and the same is true as regards Australia, while over tures have been made by distinguished English prelates for the purpose of ef fecting an organization in England of a brotherhood along the lines laid down by the parent American society. The officers are: President of the gen-' eral council, James L. Houghteling cf Chicago, who has held the post by unan imous voice of the brotherhood since 1SS8; first vice president, G. Harry Davis of Philadelphia; second vice pres ident, Silas MacBee of Sewanee, Tenn. general secretary, John W. Wood of New York; treasurer, John P.

The Republi cans regard the result of yesterday's election as the biggest victory they have ever achieved in this state. The vote for governor, which two years ago was 130,000, ia reduced 15,000 to 20,000, but even with this it is alleged that Cleaves has received 70,000.

The returns so far Indicate that Johnson, Democrat, will not get over 35,000 votes, to 55,00'J cast for him two years ago, and this may be reduced by later returns. All four of the Republican congress men are elected by largely increased ma jorities. The Republicans have carried both branches of the legislature, electing a solid senate, which two years ago stood 30 Republicans and one Democrat. In the house of representatives, which consista of 151 members, and which two years ago stood 107 Republicans and forty-four Democrats, the Republicans, it is be lieved, have elected 110 members, while the remainder have been elected by the Democrats and Populists. 3 p.

The distribution of the seed wheat will be entirely in the hands of the county commissionera. Ightlng&le Schools. In Russia when a person happens to possess a nightingale which is a good singer, the bird is made a sort of teacher of music to others of his kind in the neighborhood. Many Russians seem to be in the habit of keeping pet nightingales and the neighbors bring their cages to the owner of tha finest one, that the inexperienced birds may listen to the singing of their master. The latter are reported as keeping quiet and listening in tently. Then after a while they ven ture a note or two, then another, and another, till they have caught the song and can go through with it. It is said that the nightingale sits in ap parent meditation, as if inwardly re hearsing, and then bursts out into song. Thing: Looked Seriona to Sandy.

'I thought I knew better, however, and began to set trap3. I did not ex pect to catch the postofBce employes but was after Leach Mortland for opening my mail even it had been given to them accidentally. "I inserted an advertisement in the Staie Journal which read: 'Wanted Fifty young persons to Co writing at home at twenty-five cents per hundred words.'

I receiv ed several answers and accepted about twelve in different parts of the country. These I instructed to write to ma at stated times, write the address plainly on both inside the letter and on the envelope. It was as I thought.

Vanderberg farther said that he wanted to get out of the jail because the confinement was breaking down his health. AVliat Sheriff Iturdgre Says. Jailer Burdge was also seen by a re porter. "I wish Vanderberg could be got out of here," he said. "He came last Octo ber fiom Leavenworth under arrest on a bench warrant. The deputy marshal in the case is L. D. DeBost, and he said that ou the warrant he held he could de mand his imprisonment in any jail in the district. 1 wasn't here then. Until March we had nothing in the way of a commitment or order to show why he was held or that we had any right to hold him. We made such a fuss about it that the deputy got this order from Judge Foster's court." After considerable hunting a paper was produced, which was an order from the court to Marshal iNeely to seize Vanderberg and hold him for appearance in the court here on April 9th, last. The paper was dated March 21, 18SJ4 It was unsigned except by George Sharitt, cleric of the court, and there was no oflicial seal on the paper at alL Mr. Burdge continued: "When Judge Iiiner was here Vander berg was taken before him April 9th, and told that he could pled guilty to a misdemeanor and take a thirty day jail sentence. That was all the prosecution thought it could prove and it was willing to lei it go at that. Vanderberg said he had committed no misdemeanor and would not plead guilty. He was brought back to jail. I believe from what Vanderberg himself has told me that thsy would be able to prove a misdemeanor. I have not heard that they intend doing anything further with the case. Lawyers have said that the paper here was not suiScient to hold him, but when they tried to get him out it always seemed to stick." THE ASTOli DIRTY LINEN. Jatues Coleman Drayton to Publish His .Side of the Affair. New York, Sept. 11. Ihe World says in reference to the divorce brought by James Coleman Drayton against Lis wife, the daughter of the late William Astor, Mr. Drayton will, upon his arrival in this country, publish a statement giv ing in detail the story told briefly in the papers filed at Trenton, X. J. The strength of his position has been that the marriage vows had been kept inviolate by him. Friends of Mrs. Drayton have recently secured the publication of re ports tending to show that he had first given her the example of holding the marriage contract lightly. If she should be able to substantiate this position and prove that Drayton wronged her and Uarrowe lied about her then it might be expected that the whole social world, backed by the Astors, would rally to her support.

If this man is a Populist I want to know it You had to beat a Democrat and a Populibt, Mr. Mayor, and it is not fair to give the of fices to those who fought you. As long as we have Republicans who are compe tent they ought to be appointed." Councilman Fellows presented a reso lution to appoint another sanitary ollicer but the resolution was defeated. The liicycle Orliia.uce Killed. Councilman btevens called up his bicycle ordinance which has been re ferred to the council by the committee on streets and walks without action. Mr. Stevens himself moved to strike out the first section which requires bicy clists to register with the city clerk. The next section which prohibited bicycles being ridden oil sidewalks' was passed. The third required the riders to dismount when horses scared at the bicycle. Mr. P'ellows moved to strike out the" section and the motion carried. He then moved to indefinitely postpone the consideration of the ordinance and his motion was adopted without opposition. This kills the bicycle ordinance. An ordinance levying taxes on prop erty before which sidewalks are being built under the contract with John Kitchie was introduced and passed under suspension of the rules. An ordinance was also passed author izing tho mayor and city clerk to issue warrants to uav John Kitchie for build ing sidewalks. The lottery ordinance which is designed to put a stop to policy shops and the sale of lottery tickets, was introduced and re ferred to the committee on licenses. Lowe Offers to Work Free. The mayor presented the names of A. W. Brown, T. W. Durham aud R T. btewart as city scavengers, to be con firmed, lie said that he could not vouch for Brown being a Republican, but was satisfied he was competent. There was no objection until Stewart's name waa reached, when Councilman Griggs asked if the mayor did not have a proposition from a man who offered to haul the dead animals away for nothing? The mayor said Mr. Lowe had made such a proposition, but he was not a city scavenger and could not do the work for that reason. Councilmen flolman and Griggs voted against Stewart's confirmation. The bonds for the new scavengers were then presented and approved. A. W. Brown's sureties were b. Cunningham and F. M. Newland. T. W. Durham's sureties were T. J. Ke'lam and Samuel T. Howe. R T. Stewart's sureties were A. F. Chesney and Joseph Reed. Vainlerpuol's l ine Itemitted. L. T. Yount. secretary of the board of police commissioners, presented a writ ten request that the tine of C. L.

By resolution introduced by Council man Fellows lot No. 10'J on Fillmore street was released from the sid'jwal k assessment It had been included by mistake. Councilman Holraan introduced a res olution asking that the sidewalk in front of the Presbyterian church be raised to grade. It was referred to the committee on streets aud walks. Councilman Stevenson's resolution to move and repair tho city scales went to the committee on streets and walks. Councilman Griggs presented a reso lution asking that lot JSo. 1 in Crane's addition bo released from the contract to build new sidewalks. The resolution was tabled. C. A. Figerstrom, who lost an arm while working on a sewer in the city, asked permission to run a street stand withot t a license. Permission was granted. II. R Achenbach and ten others asked that a sidewalk be built in front of lot 43i on Polk street, west to the alley on the south side of Huntoon, and the re quest was granted. Council then ad journed slue due. IS IT BIGAMY? Divorced Mr. M. II. Alexander Appears to Have Married Too Noon. Records at the court house show that Mrs. Melissa B Alexander is apparently guilty of bigamy. Who was granted a divorce by Judge Hazeu on July i!Sth, and six days afterwards she married again. This however was not known until last evening when an acquaintance of hers inadvertently dropped a remark to that effect. There Is a claue in the Kansas divorce laws that a divorced per son cannot re-marry for six months after the granting of a divorce. I. 8. Curtis and others in the district clerk's office were surprised to hear of Mrs. Alexan der's marriage, but the statement was substantiated by an examination of the records of the probate court. Mrs. Alex ander lives in this county. THE CURTIS RALLY. Anticipation That It Will lie tt Milt A ftalr.

The poem orirljially appeared in priit in tho New York D&i'.y Graphic in 1S70. Mrs. Spauldiii,? still has in her posses sion a note from Iiitor Croft'ut ai:cept ing tiie poem, complimenting it in the highest terms and regrertiujr that The Graphic coald not pay for poetry, no matter how meritorious. This letter has provtnl Mrs. Spaulding's claim and has confounded many an impostor. The words of "Fate" follow: Two shall be born the wholu wide world apart Axid speak in different tongues and lave no thought Kach of tho other's being:, and no heed. And these o'er unknown seas to Uiknown lands Shall cress, escaping wreck, defying deith. And, all unconsciously, shape every net And bend each wandering step to this one end That one day out of darkness they shall meet And read life'd meaning in each other's eyes. And two shall walk some narrow wy of life So neariy side by sido that, should one turn Ever bo little space to right or left. They needs must ttand acknowledged face to face. And yet, with wistful eyes that rever meet. With groping hands that never clasp and lips Calling in vain to ears tiiat never hear. They seek each ether all their weary days And die unsatisfied, and that is fate! Mrs. Spaulding was born in Bath, Ma., and received hey education there. Sho was married while very younr, and her wedded life was exceedingly happy, brat death soon robbed her of her hus band. She is describe-d as a charming woman, with rare conversational pow ers and a vast fund of entertaining in formation. Ske has written cont-idt ra ble poetry besides "Fate," and hor sun nets have been particularly admired by discriminating critics. Her best known poem is the only blank verse that has ever come from her pen. THE CONGRESSIONAL CAMPAIGN. lieu Who Direct Operations at the National Headquarters 111 Washington. These aro busy times at the Repub lican and Democratic headquarters of the congressional campaign committees in Washington. Tons of copies of pub lic documents, extracts from speeches and party arguments are being sent all over the United States, particular atten tion being paid, of course, to doubtful congressional districts. Every such dis trict is very carefully studied, and such arguments are brought to bear upon thy voters as seem aj)t to be particularly effective, owing to the pursuits and character of the inhabitants. Campaign speakers are also sent ont in much the eanie manner, tariff eiperte being dis patched to manufacturing and agricul tural districts and soldier orators to dis tricts where there are many voters who are war veterans. Tho subject is made the most careful study, and every wire is pulled that will aid one party or an other to secure control of the coming house of representatives. The Republican headquarters are at 210 Delaware avenue, near the capital, and the campaign is being conducted by Joseph W. Habcock, congressman from the Third Yvisconsin district and chairman of the national Republican congressional campaign committee. Mr. Babcock was bora in Vermont March 6, 1850, and with his parents removed iT--!i-T-. CHAIRMAk' BAWOCK.' CHAIKM AN FAULKXEB. to Iowa in 1S56, where ho received a common school education.

WATS TO MAKE A LIVING. Extraordinary Sasracity antl Enterprise of a Thrifty o u n Woman- "There are more ways than one to make a living," said a demure little woman, with flashing black eyes. "I know a woman who was left penni less in New York. She was riding on the elevated road one day when she was struck with the sameness of the advertisements that are posted up in the cars. She thought that she could write good advertisements, and she thought out a lot of little four-line rhymes for a certain article. She submitted them to the advertising manager of that firm, and they were accepted, and now she is making a lot of money every year with her verses extolling various wares." "Pshaw!" said the blonde who sat next to the demure little woman. "I knew of a case right here in UuiSalo that discounts that." "I don't believe it," said the demure little woman. "Well I do, and I'll tell you about it to prove it- A friend of mine, who had been doing some newspaper work, got the craze for writing ad vertisements and she went around to a lot of stores, only to rind that they were well supplied with people to look after that branch of their busi ness. She did find one firm that was willing to let her try her hand and sh began work. In less than a yerr she was comfortably off for the rest of her life." "Did she invert somo new style of writing or something of that kind? asked the demure little woman. "No," replied the blonde, "but she married the senior partner." WONDERFUL BABY. A Phenomenon That Surpasses tho Pow ers of Feiiasogaea and Medics. A real infant phenomenon, keeps all the medical men and pedagogues sof the good old town of Brunswick, in Hanover, in a state of wonder and de light. The little son of a local butch er, a baby just 2 years old, can read with perfect ease anything written or printed in German or Latin charac ters. A few weeks ago three Bruns wick doctors had the baby introduced to them at the house of one of the learned gentlemen. The first thing the little one did when brought into the consulting room was to stand on his toes at the table, read ing out from the books that were lying about. All that could be ascertained as to the why and where fore of this uncanny accomplishment is that, when the baby was 18 months old, and his grandmother took him out, he always immediately caught sig-ht of the inscriptions over shops, and asked about them as only a small child can ask, until he had fathomed the meaning of the letters. It was the same at home; books and news papers had greater fascinations than lollipops and toys, and whatever the parents playfully told him he remem bered, with the result that at the age of 2 years he reads with perfect ease. Apart from his accomplishment in reading the boy's development is quite normal. The Twelve Yellow Waistcoats. The Chinese order of the Yellow Waistcoat appears to be the most ex clusive order on the face of the earth. It is said that thare have never been more than a round dozen of members in existence at the same time. Li Hung Chang, the lively septuagen arian who has been deprived of his insignia, was the doyen of the con fraternity. Before him that distinc tion was enjoyed by the lat Admiral Fong, who held it until some three years ago. Join the Ganff.

It may surprise some old globe trot ters to know that the big ocean grey hounds running between New York ind the European ports carry on an iverag-e of 19,000 pieces of sterling dlverware for their table service, and that this large amount of plate is han dled during the voyage by from 200 to J40 waiters or "stewards," as they are called on shipboard. The ;hief steward is responsible for ev ry piece. He must be a man of quick eowers of observation, a student of ttuman nature and be up to all the little devices of a small army of sub ordinates usually keener. and quicker vvitted than those usually found ashore in the same calling. It is a busy day for the steward twenty-four hours before the time set for depar ture. He has purchased or contracted for all the supplies and an assistant sees that the contracts are fulfilled. But his personal attention must be jiven to the silverware. He keeps a regular debit and credit account and can tell to a tooth pick just what he will start away with. Gn the voyage passengers are apt to lose spoons or forks or other ware by accident, and occasionally a jay blade may think it amusement to toss a sugar bowl or half a dozen knives through a port hole. It is needless to say that he furnishes a Huid pro quo before he goes ashore. When the other side is reached the ihief steward spends a day in balanc ing accounts. He started with so much and so much should be on hand. If there is a diff erencedie seeks to find it, and if he can't find it he "makes good" himself. The responsibility of such a position naturally commands a high salary, and every chief steward onevery ocean steamship is, without ex ception, a man of unimpeachable in tegrity. The extraordinary record is that in thirty years there have been but two accusations of a betrayal of a trust. ONE OF CHINA'S CITIES. Canton, Where the Plague Comes From, and It Isn't .Surprising:. A line or two from Mrs. Archibald Dunn's new book gives a striking pic ture of the horrors of life in Canton. "The circumference of the city walls measures from six to seven miles, and within their enclosure there exist 61,000,000 Chinese people. I had been in many oriental cities and smelt many oriental smells, but those of Canton," say3 Mrs. Dunn, "were eiants of them all. The passage-like streets are open sewers, every de scription of refuse beinjr cast into them and forming continuous heaps on either side of the way. The water supply is raised from wells in the streets, the mouths of which are on a level with the ground, and a shower of rain, or drippings from the buckets in which they lift it must carry back i the surrounding filth in a way horri- ble to think of. Through miles and j miles of these high, narrow alleys did j we travel, through the most fetid, air less atmosphere that human lungs I could cope with, through the most evil and noisome odors that could as- sail human nostrils, past the most loathsome sights in the shape of ab normal butcher meat such as dogs and cats, skinned and dressed ready i for cooking; rats, both dried and hanging alive by the tails; frogs and unnatural-looking fish in tubs of water, alive, and awaiting death and consumption.

As ttty turn him away to tbe left be will say -no-r many aneaa 01 me?" ON THE BATTLEFIELD. The sua was well up in the eastern. icy, yet only a half -liht penetrated the dense North Carolina pine for est, through which two weary way farers were trudging northward, near- lnff Petersburg. One was a colored man, past middle aire, bat how far It would have been had to say. since, although his wo illy head was well frosted and his thick eyeDrows white as snow, there were few wrinkles In his face, and his frame still seemed Tlgoroi.s. His companion was a lit tle white girl, not more than 9 jears old, daintily dressed and exceedingly pretty. The deep carpet of pine needles upon which they walked wallowed up the sound of their footsteps, and, as t!ey went silently forward for some time, they might well have seemed to a superstitious observer, an ill-assorted pair of ghosts "Wha' dat?" suddenly exclaimed tbe darkey, in a start ed, and excited tone, pausing with one foot raised -Y, V r' A' i'v Vai' DAT?" EXCLAIMED THK DiBXET. and held in the air, as it ready to be et down In a reverse direction for lnataut Might. "A cannon!" answered the child, and instantly, as if to emphasize the correctness of the guess, the com bined roars of a num oer of great guns filled the air, and seemed to set the earth tremDling. The first 6hot was doubtless the eignal for a general attack, but by whom and upon what.the wander ers could not know. And they could not even tell, with any satisfying certainty, the direction from whica those terrifying sounds came. "Uncle Sam," exclaimed the little girl, "they're right in front of us!" "Yaas, Missy .Eunice; so dey is. We bes to be gwine back, jes' as fas' as we can. Dis yer no place for us," and he wheeled around for a retreat. But the mstant he did so, facing the range of low hills previously at his back, their echoes made the canon adiner se m to come from them. He grew confused and stood stili. 'Fo' de Lawd!" he exclaimed. "Deydone busted out da, too. Uey's all rouu' us. Aain't no whar' we c'n go! Oh! Lawd! lemnie out dis yer scrape, an' 1 nebber mo' ta x up wif seen foolishness, long as I lib." 'CJhl fcjam! Can't we hide some wher?" "Laws, missy, 1 dunno. Dey don't eeem to be no safe place In all de wide yea'th, 'ceptin' maybe deep down In de groun', or roostin mighty hign, no lower dan de clouds." Could they have seen beyond the low hill, and dense forest In their Immediate front, they would have beheld the battle of Hatch's Run, fought on April 1, 1865, one of tbe j most important movements in the advance upon Petersburg. They were hardly more than a quarter of a mile from where one of the fiercest conflicts of the day was at that mo ment raginsr. "la's no use tryin' runnin 'way, Missy Eunice," said Sam. "L,ak de ahmy ob de Lawd en da sperlcli'l hymn, dey's done surrounded us. You's too tired to run; Pa too weak In de knees to cyah' you, 'side wha'd we run ef we could? Lak as not we run right in 'moogstde red hot balls an' bloody men sockin bay'nets into eo'rybo iy. -lies' I c'n do is hide you low down 'tween dem two b;g rocks; what de bullets '11 bounce ofTn, kibah you up wif bresh, so de killers won't know you's da. Den I eo fin Mass' Frank an come back fo' you when dis foolishness am otier." The child having no better sug gestion to offer and trusting im plicitly, was submissive, and as he Lad proposed, so in a few minutes was done. As he stood panting from his hurried won and trjing to decide whi.hway he should go, that de cision was suddenly made for him. While be had been. hiding bis little charge the tide or battle had relied la h a direction. The Confederates, tfHCci LiU. fcttfosi tua little valley h v. i Jt 1 r- f h v,i I I r byan advance of the Federal llnea, were driven up'the slope of the little hill which had hitherto shelterd Sam from the actual presence ot the fight, and though they fought well to hold their ground, were gradually forced to move farther and farther back. When the v passed the brow of the hill and started retrograding down its southern slope, panic spread among them, retreat became rout Sam was already far in advance of tbe most fleet-footed among them, his years forgotten, devouring time and space with a gait that would, by comparison, have made a 6cared rabbit seem slow. Dusk had fallen. A group of tired, disheartened, bedraggled, tattered, powder-begrimed men, some in gray uniforms, others in ordinary dress or its remnants gathered about a small Are in a nook of the hills. The were a few of the scattered Confederates whom accident and com mon sympathy had brought together. After eating a meager supper, one of the number was selected to do sentry duty for the night and while tbe others lay down to sleep the bright, handsome young fellow, hardly more than a boy who was to be sentry, went on duty. A loDg time he aat near the little fire which they had iignrea to Keep turn warm, wnen a voice called out, just loud enough for him to hear, "Mar's Frank! Mar's Frank!" The next Instant an old negro crept cautiously Into the light, exclaiming: "Mar's Frankl I'a glad it am you." "Why, Uncle Sam, how on earth do you cme to be here?" "Pse gwine tell y'u, Mar's Frank. Dat's what 1's hyuh lo. JJefo' Miss s Silvia died" "Aunt Silvia dead! I did not know 6he had died." "No, 6ah; but I know'd it, caze I was dar. JRiggest fun'l you ebber saw, Mar's Frank. She mighty good woman. "Poor Aunt Silvial She was in deed a good woman, deserving and winning the love of all who knew her. She was a second mother to my 6ister Eunice and me." "Me too, Mar's Frank. Well, be fo' she die 6he say when she gone I be ta take Missy Eunice to Jedge Wadleigh's, u by the Lunenburg co't house. She write him an he writ back he mighty glad ler to bab he's dear little niece wid him. Well, dat was a while befo' she so dre t e sick. Ater de fun'l I sta't wid Miss Eunice fer Jedge Wadleigh's.

So we sot out. I know'd you was in de ahmy, sah, an folks tole me wha' de ahmy wuz, so we gwine erlong ail right, but lugs' dead beat out, till dis mawnin'. Den.de debbil broke, lo' shuah.

It was a mighty long ways, but 1 crope an' crope till I see dis yer flah an seed you, Mar's Frank; den 1 know'd 1 was all right," "AnJ you have left Eunice some where alone ail this terrible day?" "Mar's Frank, 1 couldn't a help it. An' ho ha'am come to Missy Eun.ce. She lie quiet, lak' a little mouse in de nes' an nobody tin' her." "We must see about this at once, if you can find where you left her." "Shy'ly, Mar's irank, 1 go dar straight as de crow fly. Ain't mo'n a quahtah-mile, sab." "she cuust at best be almost starved and frightened to death. In a few moments Franic had a comrade waned to take hi- place as watcher, but a second also had to be called, as the first, upon being made acquainted with the circumstances. roundly swore he would sit by no camptlre while a friend went away alone upon such an errand as Frank's. He would go along. Sam guided them. They iouna the two big rocks between which the cbiid was hidden. The brush piled to conceal her had been torn away the ground about It was much trampled nothing but pine needles remained in her hiding place blood was spattered apon one of the rocks. When the war was over none was less in sympathy with the partisan demagouery which strove to keep sectional bitterness alive than tbe crave veterans of t'.ie Grand Army. At ail their public reunions they made a point of weloomi .g and hos pitably entertaining men who had been "on the other side." So, in 18T2. L Post of New York re ceived as one of its guests a young Southerner, Capt. Frank Beverly, who happened to be north on busi ness, and Invited him to participate In their cmmeruo''ation of that an uivifiury wUich bfciuld Le fceia tacred j by all alike, North an4 Ccmth, !a memory of our loved ae3 honored dead. During the day Capt- Beverly met Col. Swift. Conversation drifted back to war times. "And now that it Is all over," asked tbe Colonel, "are you not glad the thing ended as It diJi"' "Frankly, yes. Tbe experience did both North and South good, mak ing them know each other better, and the Souta ia better off without slavery. I have no regrets fenr the past except one, a purely peraonal matter, a Tery sad memory. Per haps I might think it less bard if I could be assured that she 13 at re;t, but doubt, suspense, hoping against hope, and fearing all linslnary ill for one who may yet be alive, are In deed hard to bear. She waa so young, gentle, tender, good and beautiful; and to think of how she disappeared, leaving no more trace than a name written in water, sometimes almost unmans me." "Indeed, I sympathize with you deeply, Capt. .Beverly. May I the circumstances f your bereave ment?" 'It occurred ia April, 1865. I was in the fight at Hatch's JRun" "So was L" interpolated the Colonel, in an undertone. -and that night I got word that a foolish old slave had tried to bring to me, in tbe army, mr little sister Eunice, that I might tell him r i t i, WHT, UNCLK BAM. BOW DO TOW COMB TO MM HKBKV" where he should carry her. Suddenly they found themselves on the verge of the battlefield. The old darkiy became frightened, put her in what he thought a safe hiding place and ran away. When he guided me back to where he had left her, he found only trampled ground and blood. Sha was gone. And the cloud of mystery that then fell u on her fate has never since been lifted." Col. Swift listened attentively, but said nothing more than toolfer sym pathy. That evening the Captain was the guest of the Colonel at h a home. The latter and his guet were, upon entering the Colonel's parlor, received by two ladies, one of middle age, who were introdu ed as "My wife, Mrs. .wift;" the othr a lovely girl, of whom the Colonel said, "My adopted daughter, Miss Eunice." For a minute tbe young man and the girl stood stating at each other, without word or movement, as if paralyzed by surprise. Then, with simultaneous cries, "Brother Frthki" and "My sister!" thev spraog into each other's arms. Seeing them to gether, no one could have wondered that the Colonel had found the feat ures of the Southern Captain strange ly afmiliar. At dinner theold soldier explained: "From the moment you poke of ths old darkey hiding the little girl away, the mystery was at an end for me. Some of your boy made a pretty stiff stand behind the big rocks, where he had hidden br, and there was hard fighting around there, but the little one kept quiet, and her presence was not suspected until man who was shot fell on the brusn and his blood ran down on her. Then she screamed. My boys took her out and biought her to me, and I turned her over to tbe care of my wife, who was in the camp at tha time on some Sanitary Commission business. The child's fright had been 6o great that not until some time aftei she had been brought to New Vork was she able to tell her frailly name or give any information by which we might tlDd the 'brother Frank,' for whom she was constantly calling. I sent word Into your lines by exchanged prisoners again and again, trying to reach you, but never could. In time I forgot her old name, for we gave her a new one our own. Having no children of our own, and t-he having no ties, eo far as we could learn, we legally adopted her, and she became as dear to us as if she were our own child by birth. Boston Herald.

The ChargeThat Ppulit 1'apert Are Iinorea on Account of rh r i r Poli tics Befnted by AdvertiiiDg liana Etr i in pou The Alliance Gazette published at Hutchinson, which has been righting the Santa Fe for some time, says editorially: If the Santa Fe is not in league with the Republican party as some claim, why is it that it gives passes to all the Repub lican papers and none to the Populist papers? One at a time please." W. IL Simpson, advertising manager of the Santa Fe, gives the following facts: The Santa Fe does business with the newspapers of Kansas without respect to politics. The Gazette formerly did business with the Santa Fe, but when that paper entered upon a relentless warfare against the road witnout regard to politics the advertising manager simply withdrew hia business from the columns of the pa per and ordered the parses in tho hands of its publishers taken up. Afterwards the Santa Fe gave the Gazette trans portation with an agreement for fair treatment, but that agreement was soou broken. The Santa Fe then introduced its ad vertisements into the columns of the Ga zette through a ready print house and a3 the Gazette did not get transportation for this advertising it has since been fighting the road editorially. Mr. W. II. Simpson, advertising mana ger of the Santa Fe, says it is the policy of the road to patronize all the papers in its territory without regard to politics, but that there are a few papers in the state with which the road can not do. business just as there are a few men in every community who can not or will not do business with their local mer chants. Mr. Simpson says most of the Populist papers published iu towns along the line of the Santa Fe publish advertising mat ter for the road in exchange for trans portation. O.NLt SKCOXD CLASS IVlio Fear tlie Adoption of tlie "Woman Suffrage Amendment .Says Simpson. Jerry Simpson says he is for woman's suffrage unqualifiedly. In his speech opening his congres sional campaign at Wichita ho said: "A responsible human being-, innocent of crime, yielding allegiance to the govern ment, answerable to it in person and property for disobedience, and yet denied any political right, is a slave. Women have an inhereut and constitu tional right to vote and ought not to be de barred from exercising that right, and 1, j as a champion ci human rights and con- 5 stitutional liberty, nnd believing- that i every h-iman being- be not only allowed I but protected in the exercise of all in- i herent lights he h;is, cannot consistently do other-vise than uphold the enfran chisement of women. "There is nothing to fear from women j voting. It is only second clans m m that fear the domination of women in poli tics. I do not fear it. If she can fill my position better than I cat:, let her do it; what the peoplo want is results. The constitutional amendment in regard to woman sulfirage has to le met by the voters of the state. It will be printed upon all the ballots. It will be found upon the Democratic ticket. Republican ticket and the People's party tit net. The voter must vote ''for' or "againtt." It is an issue by itself, which tiie voter must determine by his ballot. I have my opinion and convictions upon that sub ject, and I am in favor of granting to woman her inherent and constitutional right to vote, and shall so declare with my ballot. "What is woman's causo is man's cause, and I am for the enfranchisement of wo men first, last and all tho time." A LETTER FItOI WINNIE DAVIS. Published in Hilly Uolton's l'apt r-Xot a Woman SiiRVaijif.t. Billy Bolton's paper, tho Woodward, Ok., "News," publishes a letter from Miss Winnie Davis denying that she has be come a Republican. The story that she had renounced the Domocracy was first published in the Troy Chief as follows: Miss Winnie Davis, daughter of Jeff Davis, and the "Daughter of the Confed eracy," who now lives at Colorado Springs, Colo., where women have the right to vote, has announced her deter mination to vote the Republican ticket. And still the tidal wave continues to wave." This item was republished in the Wichita Eagle, where it was seen by Captain F. S. Harris of Woodward, Ok., a personal friend of Misa Davis, who wrote to her about the story and received the following reply: Narragansett Piek. R. I., Aug. 30. Capt. F. S. Harris, Woodward, Ott. Dear Captain Yours kindly enclos ing clipping- of Wichita Eag-le from Kan Baa Chief to hand. iiiany thanks lor tho opportunity you give ma to contradict in toto the statement. I am proud to say I am a resident of Mississippi and, there fore, would have no right to vote in Colorado. Again, I never would, under any con sideration, give adhesion to any save the Democratic party, in which I have been brought up. I am not a believer in woman's rights, and, therefore, would havj gravn daubts about voting, even if my own state were to give her daughters a voice in politics. I spent three months with my sister (with whom you are acquainted) in Colo rado, and that is the oniy fjraiu of truth I can discover in the s:ory. You will greatly oblige me by positively stating that the statement iu the Kansas Chief is untrue. Believe me with renewed thank?, cordially your friend. (Winnie.) Vksxa Amie Davis. MK. PEFFKK'S HOPES HlCiH. everywhere, and I think we have organ izations in every state iu the union, with perhaps the exception of Rhode Island and Connecticut, and I think by this time we have organizations in those states also. Congressman ar belag nominated in all the districts, and ws will have between twenty-five and thirty-five congressmen in the Fifty-fourth con gress enough to hold the balance of power. "Our greaUst gaim will come from the south and nortnwest, and in the large cities. And it is possible and within the range of probability that we will get one member in New York and three in Chi cago. We will hold our own in all the states and gain in many. The states in the northwest where we will gain are Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, Wy oming, Montana, Minnesota and the Da kotas. "In Nebraska, things are somewhat mixed, and the Populists show a disposi tion to unite with the Democrats, which will probably result as it did in Kansas, in electing a Democrat to the United States senate. "In the south a majority of the white voters south of Virginia are Populists, except perhaps in Louisiana and Texas. The negroes will largely go to the Dem ocrats at least their votes will be count ed that way. The right there is like it is in Kansas, the dominaut party ia fight ing the Populists, not the old enemy. "What is known as JetTersoniau Dem ocracy is coming our way. The earth works have been taken to use an army phrase and the rest will soon follow. "At the last election in Alabama, as far as the actual vote is concerned we car ried the state by a big- majority but in the black belt they made up the votes they lost elsewhere. In Tom Watson's district two vears ago he carried nine out of the ten counties. The other county included Augusta and they made up tho losses there. They waited until they knew how many votes were needed and then they supplied them in the tenth county. That is the way they are trying to do things iu the south." Politlcul Jiotes. Col. WT. P. 'fomlinson says when Sena tor Martin comes home his tirst duty as a Democrat will be to straighten out the Shawnee club which was called into life to do him honor. Tom O'Neil the Democratic candidate for congress in this district has declined to get off the track in favor of S. M. Scott the Populist nominee. C. L. McKesson of Howard, Elk coun tv, will bo one of the most prominent candidates for the Populist nomination for congress to succeed Jeff Hudson in the Third district. Mr. McKesson is now one of the most influential members of the state central committee and is a trusted advisor of Chairman Breiden thal. Chairman Breidenthal has received a letter from K. H. Atchison of Oswego, Labette county, chairman of the Third district congressional committee, in which he says Jell Hudson is ull right, his withdrawal was simply on account of his private business, but that he has made a large contribution to the con gressional campaign fund and has agreed to stump the district for the Pop ulist ticket. 8 0 CI A L AND PEiiSO X A L He Says t lie Populists AVill Have Thirty l'ive (ougrt"uien Nxt Congress.
