MARTIN DEAD. The .Son of tlie Senator I'asvi Away With Appendicitis. Hutchinson, Kan., Sept 26. Charles C. Martin, son of Senator John Martin, and who has had the receivership of the Hutchinson National bank, died at the Santa Fe hotel, in this city, this morning of peritonitis and appendictia at 6:43 o'clock. It was determined yesterday that it was necessary to perform an operation and Senator Martin was wired to come at once and bring with him Dr. McClintock of Topeka. The senator and the doctor arrived by special train at 12:20 a. m., immediately after which the operation was performed. The patient never rallied from the effects of the operation. KKMA1NS TO AKItlVi: TODAY. At a Late Hour the J araily Htul Not Keen Notified. Senator Martin was not informedof the very serious condition of hi. son until late yesterday afternoon, and a few min utes after 8 o'clock last night he left, in company with Dr. J. C. McClintock, for Hutchiuson. Mr. W. J. Black was this forenoon not ified of the death of Mr. Martin and from his information it is expected that Senator Martin will arrive in Topeka this evening with the remains of his son. Charles Martin was one of the best knowu and most, popular young men in Topeka. He was born here about thirty three years ago and waa educated in the public schools of this city. His flrt busi ness was as a railroad employe in a San'.a Fe station, and alter several promotions he became a Pullman conductor. In this latter capacity ha travoled over moat of the United States. About six years ago he left the emj ioy of the Pullman company and entered ths Bank of Topeka, where lie tilled tne po sitions of be ok keeper aud mailing teller until last December, when ho was appointed receiver of the Hutchinson National ban!-:. He was an Odd Follow and stood high ia the rankr, of that order. At a late hour this afternoon Senator Martin's family had not bet a uotilied of the death of Charles. WHAT Jji A TI'KN l! CITIS? A Tujeka Doctor Is lis What the Dis ease Is. Appendicitis, which caused the death of Charles Martin, is a peculiar affliction. A Topeka physician says: "In the right groin ia located the beginning of what is known as the colon or lartre intestime. It is about as large as a man's arm and extends upward to the ribs oti the richt side and then crosses over to the left side and descends to the lower portion of the body. Springing out of tlie rounded head of the colon a short distance from the point where the small intestine enters it, is found a small tuba about the size of a lead pencil and about a finger's length, closed at its outer end, and which looks so much like a worm that it is called the vermiform (worm form) appendix. 'Opening as it does from the lower end of the colon, and hanging down from it, it is quite a common accident for seeds, of apples, raisins or other, email and indigestible substances to fall into this long, narrow canal that has no out let except its inlet. A peanut, a melon seed falling into the appendix is very liable to cause inflammation, which ia often fatal though sometimes not. "Where there is serious inflammation of the appendix, cailed appendicitis, there ia grave danger and an urgent de mand for a surgical operation to remove the thing that ia causing the trouble and often to remove an accumulation of pua in and around the appendix. In such cases medicine is powerless to cure. "If the operation is djno promptly, about 97 per cent of the cases recover. If it is delayed beyond the third or fourth day a very large number prove fatal. Few cases recover after the sixth day, where surgery becomes necessary." IlUmUCAXEA T Ell 11 Oil It Is Sweeping Jacksonville, I'la. Biggest lStttUniiK I' n roofed. Jacksonville:, Fla., Sept. 2t5. The ex pected hurricane from the West Indies struck Jacksonville at 11 a. m. with the wind Mowing' a gale of 46 miles per hour and rain pouring down in torrents. Business is absolutely paralyzed. The Everett, the largest buiiding in the city, is unroofed and flooded with water. The unfinished, Union depot is blown down. Tlie loss is t M,W0, and a number of peo ple are injured, but none killed. There is no communication from south Florida, but it is expected that many groves are totally ruiced and the orange crop damaged incalculably. The streets of Oxenville are flooded. The river is three feet above the nor mal point The wind at the mouth of the river recorded 60 miles an hour and Mayport is flooded and several houses inundated. No persons lost their lives there. Two houses in Jacksonville were blown down. No trains are arriving or departing from Jacksonville. Many large washouts are being re ported. 31 ILITIA EN C A M P3IEN T. It Will Be Divided Into Several Different Camps. The state military board adjourned this afternoon, after coaipleting the arrange ments for the encampment of the Kan sas National Guard, which will last for live djys of the third week ia October. It was originally intended to have a division encampment, but the board found that not enough funds were avail able to sustain an encampment of the entire division and the encampments were ordered by brigades. The first brigade, cjmmanded by Gen. W. II. Sears, will encamp either at Gar nett or Ottawa. This includes the To peka battery, one regiment of infantry and one troop of cavairy. The second brigade, commanded by Gen. I. N. Hettinc-er, will encamp at Wichita. It includes one regiment of infantry and one battery. The third brigade, commanded by Gen. W. 1L Parsons, will encamp at Eeloit Mrs. T. P, Thacher and family have taken roooii at the Throop for the winter. STAMPEDEJFQR HILL Refuses Nomination for Gover nor in the Convention. But the Convention Nominates Him in Spite of It. 3Ir. "Whitney Also Positively Declined to Run. HE FAVORED HILL. Hill Got the Entire Tote of Convention. Saratoga, Sept 2G, The Democratic Etate convention was called to order by Senator Hill at 1:50 p. m. The committee on credentials decided in favor of all the sitting delegations, ex cept in the case of Monroe county. In that instance the representation is di vided equally between the two delega tions, each being half a vote. When some routine business had been disposed of, the convention was ready to nominate a candidate for the governor ship. Galen R. Hitt first took the floor and proposed John Boyd Thacher for U. S. SENATOR DAVID the office. Mr. Hitt'a 3peech was highly eulogistic of Mr. Thacher. After Hitt had finished, Delegate Rey nolds from Allegheny county arose and said: "Mr. Chairman, I desire from Alle gheny county to put in nomination our most and only choice David B. Hill." In an instant there waa pandemonium. Delegates were standing on chairs, crowding aisles, shoving towards the platform and yelling themselves hoarse, losing hats and canes and shouting "Hill," "Hill." Senator Hill stood pounding th egavel, his face pale and his lips shut He hammered vigorously, but as he did so the din increased. "Three cheers for the next governor of the state," shouted a man iu the rear and up went a iniirhty shout After five minutes of this remarkable scene, there was some order restored, and Senator Hill said: "I am grateful to the Democrats for this showing of their good will and their faith, but I cannot accept the nomination you oifer me." (Cries of "yes," "yes.") "I must say no to you." Again the tumult broke out and again Mr. Hill was unable to 3top it He banged with the gavel, appealed to the band to play and looked appealingly at tiie crowd. There was no cessation. The baud played, but its music was drowned by the shouting of the delegates. Col. Fellows got recognition and asked that the clerk be authorized to call the roll of counties. Thia was done and when Columbia, Kings and Lewis were reached the dele gates shouted "Hill." Then New York was reached and Senator Guy arose, lie said it was time for the party to turn around and look for a man that could un doubtedly lead them to victory. "They must have a giant to enatch vic tory from the jawa of defeat." He paid a remarkable tribute to Senator Hill, and then the tumult increased. In the midst of all Bourke Cockran ob tained the platform aud seconded Hill's nomination. The roll call proceeded with every one shouting for Hill and every delegation voting for him. At 3:23 the clerk announced the en tire vote for Hill. Clerk Deforest de clared Hill the nominee of the party for governor. Judge Gaynor waa nominated by ac clamation for the court of appeals. Mr. Hinckley offered a resolution that the convention proceed to nominate lieutenant governor. Mr. Lockwood was then nominated. A resolution to appoint a committee of five to notify the candidates of their nomination waa adopted amid laughter. At 3:29 p. m. the convention adjourned after giving three rousing cheers for the ticket Immediately after the nomination of the ticket Senator David B. Hill was asked by an Associated Press corres pondent what he thought of the situa tion 'Oh," he replied, with no little anger expressed on his face, "it's an outrage; it's an outrage." A The I'latforiu. Following is an abstract of the plat form submitted to the Democratic state convention: Vie rejoice that by the repeal of the Sherman law for the purchase and stor age of silver bullion all fear of a depreciated currency has been allayed and faith has been re stored in the ability of the government to maintain a constant parity between its gold and-iilver coinage; that by the re peal of the McKinley tariff law, the inor dinate taxation of the many for the ben efit "of the few has been notably dimin ished and the plan of inequitable and monstrous customs duties which have starved some industries and overfed others, has been adjusted so that while affording ample safeguards for American labor, they reduce tiie price to the people of necessities of life and en courage the promotion of industry. We concur with President Cleveland that the new tariff law does not embody the full issue of tariff reform, but with him also we indorse its provisions for cheaper and freer raw materials and lower taxes as a substan tial recognition of Democratic princi ples, and we bespeak for the law an im partial trial, confident that its successful operation will convince the people of the wisdom of Democratic policy and induce them to demand its proper extension. We commend the efforts made by the senators and representatives in congress from this state to avert the imposition of the present income tax. It heartily endorses the honest purpose and high ideas which have characterized the administration of President Cleve land and pledges their earnest support in B. HILL, OF NEW YORK. all hia efforts to secure the enactment of Democratic measures and the carrying out of Democratic polities, expressing confidence that the people will sustain it at the polls in November. The remainder of the platform is de voted to state issues, closing with an en dorsement of Governor Flower's admin istration. TAMMANY IN A I'ANIC. They Are ireatly Kxerciseil Over Wliit- f ney s icetusai to itmi. Saratoga, N. Sept. 20. "lammany'a adherents were thrown into a condition bordering on panic today when the As sociated Press bulletin, announcing that Mr. Whitney had declined the nomina tion for governor, waa read. Senator Hill was first shown the dis patch and said: "I supposed that he would decline to accept it I had said all along that Mr. Whitney had no desire to enter politics." Lieutenant Governor Sheehan looked disappointed as he read the dispatch and said: "Whitney would have been a very strong man and the situation now is rather mixed Wo have wasted valuable time chasing a shadow." John D. Crimmins. a personal friend of Mr. Whitney has received a Tjerional message stating that Mr. Whitney de c'ined for personal reasons. In the headquarters of the other can didates the news caused great rejoicing and the several booms all received a new impetus. Senator Hill declined to say that he was for any candidate. The partisans of Mr. Hill were, of course, delighted at the declaration of Mr. Whitney that Mr. Hill was the fittest of the candidates to make the race, aud in the lobbies the report was started that Bonrke Cockran would stampede the con vention in Mr. Hill's favor. Said Senator Canton: "Senator Hill ia the logical candidate." Mayor Gilroy said: "I see nothing but Hill." The Gaynor boom has picked up a lit tle, but it is conceded that there is little hope for it. At 11 o'clock it was Hill or Thacher; the latter in case Hill refuses to accept The committee on credentials recon vened at 9 o'clock and the Monroe coun ty contest was taken up. W 1IITEV KEFfSES TO RUN. He Positively Declines to Accept the Nom ination. New York, Sept. 20. William a Whitney waa interviewed at Quarantine today and announced positively that he would under no circumstances accept the Democratic nomination for governor. He declined to enter at length into his reasons, but gave the impression that his business interests would not allow of his accepting the nomination. "There are plenty of better men in the Democratic party," he said in reply to a question as to his opinion on the subject of the probable nominee. -Mr. Whitney is apparently in the best of health and says he has enjoyed him self immensely while abroad. "In the first place, he said, "I will not accept the nomination under any cir cumstances. I stated that very posi tively before I left Fngland, in a cable gram to some one or other, I don't re member whom. There are plenty of better men in the party than I. I regard David B. Hill as the very best man for the place. "I think he would poll an enormous vote. Of course, I think the next gov ernor will be a Democrat I am not well V WILLIAM C WUITNltV. euough posted in regard to the newa of the last few days to hazard a guess at the probable selection of the Demo cratic convention. I hope to see a strong man nominated" MiBllASKA I KMO C It A TS. A Fight lErln-een the ISryaii I'orces ami Oliier Democrats I On. Omaha, Sept. 20. The Democratic hosts of Nebraska assembled in Omaha todav but the ranks were divided and dis sension had taken the place of harmony, j Before the sta'e convention was called "to order this afternoon the situation was i chaotic. The free silver men were in the majority, but the administration forces had control of the state central committee, and the indications were that a conflict would be precipitated on the temporary organization. The Bryan forces had selected Ed. P. Smith of Omaha for temporary chair man, but this was not satisfactory to the central committee, and a meeting was held thia morning to name a man who would represent the administration. The free silver men have also decided to have W. D. Oldtiam of Kearney, for permanent presiding officer and this was also a thorn in the side of the adminis tration. By a yote ot 30 to .3 the central com mittee decided to- -reccommend Judge Matt Miller of David City, for temporary chairman and allowed the convention to choose the permanent officers. The convention waa called to order at 2:35 by Chairman Euclid Martin of the state central committee and Ed I. Smith was made temporary chairman after Matt Miller had been named aud withdrew. NOT DONE HERE YET. The Palace Car Men Will Make A notlier Visit Here. The report that Myers and Allen, the Pullmen men have accepted the proposi tion made to them at Hiawatha is denied by Frank L. Whitaker who has received a letter from them. "They will bo in Topeka tomorrow," he said, "and you can dedend upon it that they will accept no proposition until they came back to To peka. They will make a proposition when they return a.id will be prepared to listen to any offer Topeka will make." EXCITING KU3IOHS That the Czar of Ilussia is Dead Are Denied. Paris, Sept 26. It is stated here any reports circulated as to the death of the czar are undoubtedly mere bourse ru mors. A member of the Entourage of the Grand Duke Peter of Russia now in this city, when questioned today in regard to the czar's health said that the latter'a physician had promised him a new lease of life if he adtiered strictly to the orders given by hia attendants. It is added that there is no doubt that the czar ia suffering from severe kidney disease. LOCAL MENTION. The funeral of Robert M. Smith waa held at 10 o'clock this morning from his mother's residence at 129 CJuincy street The Rock Island did a big harvest ex cursion business yesterday and there were one or two extra coaches on all west and south bound trains. The case of Mrs. Cooley-Martineau, charged with selling liquor, is on trial in the district court this afternoon. It is the first of Detective F. M. Jacobs' cases. The jury in the libel case of Jefferson Davis came in this afternoon, being una ble to arrive at a verdict. The jury hung with 8 for acquittal and 4 for convic tion. The Ladies' Music club held their reg ular monthly meeting thia afternoon. They are preparing for their concert, complimentary to the Elks, on next Fri day evening. It is probable there will be a change in the time card of the entire Rock Is land system on Sunday, October 7. The officials here do not know what changes will be made. It will be simply the reg ularly semi-yearly change. Harrison Davidson and Fred Merwin had a narrow escape in a runaway lait evening and got off with severe bruises. They were driving Will Eberle'u horse near Christ hospital when it took fright and ran into a ravine. The horse, a val uable colt, was killed. The boys thought for a few minute3 they were seriously hurt but they were not. Mr. R II. Lindsey, the well-known newspaper correspondent who formerly lived in Topeka but who has been Wash ington correspondent of the Kansas City Times since he left Topeka, was in the city todayT During the last two weeks Mr. Lindsey has been investigating the Kansas City, Kan., lotteries for hia paper. CHICAGOAROUSED. The Civic Federation of That City Still Has the (J amblers In' the Throat. A N 0 15 Jj E I! A T T JL E Is Fought For Dormey and IlesiK't'tability By the Society Whose Purpose is to Enforce Laws. Chicago, Sept 20. The continued "close-up" of the gambling houses hero ia giving the gambling fraternity a great deal of anxiety. For the firot lime in years thero havo been no gambling rooms open in Chicago for so long a period. The furniture from most of the resorta has beon hidden away and the houses are barren and forlorn. The zeal of the police also continues. Capt. Hart nett raided two poker joints and a crap game Saturday night These are the last gambling resorts to bo closed up. No more have since been found. Constables arrested Edward Corrigan, John Brenock and Joseph Tllmun at llie Hawthorne track Saturday on warrants from Justice Cunningham's court. Gambling places havo been closed in Chicago many times, but never before has a powerful organization like the Civic Federation got after them. The Federation people with Lyman J. Gage at their head are determine! to keep the gamblers down. Sunday was the Civic Federation's field day, and the crowds that came to join tho uprising against the gambling houses had no limits except iu thousands and tho capacities of the churches und Central Music hall. Tho afternoon mass meet ings began within two hours after all tho pulpits had thundered Invectives, and two of tho largest auditorium in the city were only wide and high enough to ac commodate a fraction of the great jatm of people who applied for udmissioii. The enthusiastic campaigners Hocked iu such hosts that there was not a scat, in the hall from footlights to tide poie a half hour before the time for the lirst speech, and tlie overflow poured liko a m'rhty river along tlie streets to tlie doors of the First MethodUt church. The throngs, about the two meeting places were like those of the world's fair year. So intense was tho excilo ment aud rush for eta-ding room tli.it the ushers were ovrp7.vered, the uUles packed with shouting, cheeriiig, hissing people, aud the streets lined with disap pointed converts and virt Uous warriors who complained that the lake front had not been used for the demoiihtraliou and not buildings big euough only lor tho early comers. Pastors and business men, women, priests and judges graced the topmost galleries, and the boxes held the shifty and thoughtless, who cut short the Sunday dinners and secured front seats. There whs not an inch iu church or thea ter that was vacant, with dignified agita tors perched on window sills, the stage and pulpit edges ami steps, or peeritig from Iho farthermost fringes of tho au dience, barely within seeing and hear ing distance of the orator. Corporation Counsel Henry Rubena attempted to read a statement iu defense of Mayor Hopkins, but was nearly drowned out by hisses. The bold, unequivocal, unqtialitiei statement from tho mayor that thero would be no more public gambling in the town as long as ho waa mayor, was accepted with smiles and side i lances, while tlie member of tho federation who declared this promiso would require watching, was compelled to stand silent in a salvo of approval that lasted consid erably longer than two minutes. And after all the speaking the people's hatred of gambling was expressed in the following resolution commending the federation, and urging all good citizens to aid the mayor aud the chief of police in tho work "We, citizens of Chicago, in mail meeting assembled, believing that public gambling is one of the most demoraliz ing if not the most utterly vicious of pub lic crime3, rejoice in the evidences that we see of the uprising of the p; ple against it We commend the action of the Civic Federation in pushing the con test against the great vice and rejoice to know that both the city and county authorities have resolved to render that organization aid in ita great contest, working together without regard to par ly for the extermination. of gambling in thia city, and we urge all good citizens to give every possible aid not only to the Civic Federation, but to his honor, the mayor, and the chief of police, iu the performance of their duty to suppress this great evil which under succsive administrations has grown to such pro portions in our midst" More interesting developments are looked for. MOVING ON PEKING. Thirty Thousand More 7amncMe Tronps Sail From HiroH, himt. Washington', Sept. 20. Today's ad vices from Tokio stating that a (second Japanese army of 30,01K) men sailed from Hiroa, China, yesterday, is regarded la olficial eirclea here as the first move in the advance on tho Chinese capital, Peking. It is pointed out that there is no need of Japanese reinforcements iu Curea, aa since the battle in Ping Yan tho Japa nese have had practically possession of Corea with their first army. F.vanaton'n Library Dedicated. Chicago. Sept 20. The magnificent Arringtoa Lunt library, the gift to Evans ton of the millionaire, Arrington Lunt, was dedicated today.

Morss, the consul ge ieral at Paris, has sent to the state c epartment an abstract of the official r jport on tbe wheat erop in France for 1334. It is estimated by tha French statistician, says Mr. Morss, that the crops of 1S94 throughout the world will be 35 per cent in excess of the world's demands for consumption and seel. The annual consumption of wheat in France is estimated at from 118.000.000 to 125-, 000,000 hectolitres, an a nount in ex cess of, if equal to the probable di ruestic production for the current year. On July 31 the ariount of im ported wheat awaiting withdrawal for consumption from the custom en trepots was 559,620 heetos, so that there will be a large surplus over the probable demand forth; next twelve months., even should ai-otht-r bushel be not imported. It is mentioned that in Belgium, Holltnd and the United Kingdom, which admit wheat free, the current prices are less than in Paris. IMPERIAL EDICT ISSUED.

The littla steamer Falcon, with the Peary re lief party and members of the expedi tion; on board, arrived y enter Ja after noon. Long- before the vessel reached her moorings thousand of people had gathered at the wharves in the vicinity to welcome the explorers. As soon as the Falcon was tied to the dock, Mrs. Pearj-, with her baby and an Esquimaux girl, whom Mrs. Feary brought witH her, were escorted aboard a train for Washington, the home of her mother. The brave little woman showed plainly by her man ner that she was much chagrined be cause of her husband's determination to remain in the Arctic regions. She declares she is going nortn again next summer and bring him back to civilization if she has to drag him. Commander Bryant, who had charge of the relief party, says the expedi tion was a great success. "We made many valuable collec tions, the ethnological specimens be ing very rare. I think we have the finest series of photographs of life and scenes in the Arctic country that were ever taken." All on board were very reticent. It is said an embargo has been placed on their lips for five days or loader, and it will' therefore be difficult to get in formation about the trip.' It was in timated by one of the men with Peary that several wto came away would have remained with the ex plorer in the frozen .North but for the scarcity of food. When asked if it was true the ex plorer and his party had been com pelled to eat whale blubber, the men declined to either couarm or deny the story. It is believed, however, that Peary is threatened with a lack of food that may become serious. The Falcon will load with coal here and return im mediately to St. Johns. COLGATE'S BODY FOUND. A Is and Thigh Hone AU That TVai Left of the Deserted Cook. Missoula, Mont., Sept. 26. The Missoulan contains a sens itional story of the recovery and burial of the re mains of George Colgate, deserved cook of the notorous hunting party headed by William A. Carl in, the son of General Carlin, late commander of the department of the Columbia. The discovery was made about August 23 by Lieutenant Elliott, eight miles below the spot where the de sertion occurred on the Clearwater river. All that remained of Colgate's body was a thigh bone and one leg, and these were mangled and gnawed by wild beasts infesting that region. It is presumed the balance of the re mains were carried away by the oni inals into mountain fastnesses. At the same spot alo was found the match box, fishing lines and other articles identified as Colgate's prop erty. The remains were interred in Lower Hot Springs, on the Mi id hi fork of the Clearwater. Lieutenant Elliott was sent out on this mission by the present commander of the depart ment of the Columbia, to which of ficial he will make a full report, there being many points ten'ding tc prove Colgate's desertion was cow ardly in the extreme.

Chicago, Sept. 2 The Atchison road has much disconcerted the other Western lines by announcing its in tention to make a S .T5 rate between Chicago and Kansas City, tickets to be on s lie from September 23 to Octo ber 6, from Chicago, and from October 1 to October 3 for the retarn trip from Kansas City. The action was taken by the Atchison because the other Western lines hare ngreed not to make a Sf.'J5 rate from Chicago to St. Louis and to confine cheap rates on account of the St. Louis fair to terri tory within 200 miles of St. Louis.

HURTS TIIE1R SUGAR. Reciprocity Treaty Gave Them a United Sates Market. Washington-, Sept. 26. The Brazil ian government has given notice that the reciprocity treaty between th e United States and Brazil will be ab rogated by Brazil on January 1 next Minister Mendonca, the Brazilian minister here, received cable d ireo sions on Stmday to give the reqnis't notice. The minister says authorities in Brazil had notified United States Minister Thompson at Rio of this ac tion on Saturday. The treaty is the principal one negotiated by Secretary Blaiae under the reciprocity provis ions of the McKinley law. Senor Mendonca said: "Brazil's action is a necessary sequence to the enactment of the new tariff law by the united Estates, and there is no significance in the action of my country beyond its aoing- its part towards the termination of a treaty which the tariff law itself abrogates. Brazil has acted, however, in strict conformity to the original agree ment embodied in notes between Mr. Blaine and myself, ex changed when the treaty was made. They gave either country the privilege of renouncing the treaty oa July or January 1 of any given year by giving three months' notice. The tariff law served to abrogate the treaty without notice to Brazil, but our government saw fit to give the full three months' notice. The effect is to make the new tariff rates exist against Brazilian exports since Au gust, while the reciprocity rates for American goods will remain until January in Brazil." Mr. Mendouca was asked as to the effect of the change on trade. "The reciprocity treaty w'orked very well," he said. "It was chiefly beneficial to Brazil in sugar. Prior to it our sugar had only the domestic market, but the reciprocity treaty gave us the united States market, and, as a result, our sugar trade to this country has tripled in the last three years. It promised even greater increase when the full benefit of the reciprocity treaty was understood. The coffee trade, which was another main item, will not be affected by the change. On the part of the United States the reciprocity treaty gave ad vantages to this country on manufac tured iron goods, railroad supplies, lard and agricultural products." !oney for Moving Crops. Washin-gtox, Sept. 20. Since the work of moving crops in the South imd West the treasury department has been called upon to supply thesa sections with large quantities of sil ver dollars.

Alex Garrett Says He rer Signed the In formation Against Jointist Campbell. A motion for a new trial in the case of Bjb Campbell, who was convicted ou seven counts of selling liquor, waa argued in the did.ric-t court yesterday afternoon by his attorney, Charles Fenaky. The motion was taken under advisement by Judge Hazen. The moiion ia some respects is a re markable one, being backed by a charge of forgery to the original information. In sub&tautiation of his motion Mr. Fensky had Alex Garrett placed on the 6taad. Garrett ia tue colored man whose name was attached to the information on which Campbell waa arrested. Garrett stated that if his name, or rath er his mark, waa on the document, it was a forgery, for he never signed the docu ment to hia knowledge. He staled that Jim McCoy, a colored spotter, had given him the money to buy liquor from Ben Jordan. He bought it of Jordan and not of Campbell. He a'.gned an information against Jordan, he says, but not against Campteil. The people in the sheriU'a oice laugh at Garrett's denial, and say he is talking through hia hat. Mr. C. A.

The message re ceived tha other day by the republio of Franco, the largest in Europe, from the republic of Andorra, the smallest in the world, waa a surprising thing. It was instigated by a Spanish, prelate and pos sessed other qualities than that of being a surprise. It was amusing and at the eame time significant, and while it can not be said to have been important in the sense that would attach to such a communication if Andorra were a larger etate, yet there is likely to be consider able diplomatic correspondence before the lust word is heard about it. The republic of Andorra has" a popu lation of but 9,000 souls, and it is be cause of its numerical insignificance, coupled with the unique physical char acteristics of its location and territory, that it has been able to preserve a vir tual independence since the time of the "emperor with the long beard," Charle magne, who gave it its autonomy. It is situated in a narrow, secluded vale, high up in the Pyrenees, that noble range that divides .France from Spain. All about it are high rocky mountain walls, which at points rise into impos ing pine clad peaks, that stand watch and ward over the handful of men and women who live and toil below. Over the territories of France and Spain the red tide of war has surged back and forth. Waged between the two fiery na tions, it has reached across the range more than once, but through it alL when thrones have crumbled and dynas ties have changed, Andorra has been at peace. Its people, eimple in their Ijves, primitive in their thought, have been content to let the outside world worry and fight, while they have attended to their own small affairs. As in matters of war, so it has been in mental and material things. Andorra has slept while the world has rnshed by, and the Aiidorrans of today transact their affairs, eat, elerp and clothe themselves as did their ancestors of hundreds of years ago. Only at rare intervals has tbe outside world even remembered that there was an Andorra, and then it has almost always been only because some writer of books or maker of picture hrs Bought out the vale and made known some of the quaint things there and no whero else existing outside the realm of fancy. Although possessing autonomy with regard to internal affairs, certain of An dorra's outside matters have always been controlled by a sort of joizit suzerainty between Franco and Spain, the former's control being direct, while that of Spain has been through the bishop of Urgel. It is ho who put up the Andorrans to send the message spoken of, wherein Franco waa notified that in future she must ceaso to mind the affairs of her Bmall neighbor. Its people feel now, they eay, that with the bishop's help they can get along very well aloue. Two or three years ago this same bishop of Urgel declared that no telegraph wire could pass over Andor ran territory, for he held the telegraph to be an invention of satan. Just how this mutter turned out I do not remem ber, and perhaps few others outside those directly interested do either, for hurrying men of affairs have morrf im portant matters to think and worry and talk about. The bishop's authority, it will be observed, is well nigh as great as that of a monarch, nnd it is quite likely that he controls the elections. In that case ho is as much cf a boss as even waa Mr. Croker of New York, of whom Paris has heard recently. The bishop's influence and that of his predecessors, however, must have always been salu tary, for we are told that crime has been unknown in Andorra eince the close of the seventeenth century. The people still speak with something Jlike awe of the last instance. It was the out come of a love affair and was not a very heinous offense. Lawsuits seem to be almost as rare as crime, and there are but two notaries in all Andorra. They receive small fees for thfir services, but all other public du ties are performed gratuitously. AH able bodied adult male Andorrans are nomi nally members of the army, so that the republic has quite a military force, but its martial duties are light, for the last recorded engagement occurred more than 1,000 years ago. The etate is governed by a select council of 24 members, elect ed each year, and a president, chosen for life from among the oldest and wis est men. From this it will appear that great respect is paid to age. This is ren dered more apparent even by the fact that the oldest member of each family is its nominal and actual head and is obeyed implicitly by all the others. It is to be hoped that the recent action of the council in cutting loose from France will not tend to destroy the almost ideal and wholly quaint customs and life of the people of the tiny state. Baron Sartor. The Xew Guoa Are Dangerous. Some interesting articles have been published by The Vossisehe Zeitung on the small caliber guns and the research es of various professors as to the effect of wounds made by these guns at differ ent distances effects that are horrible. The conclusion is that in any future battles there will be incomparably more dead and severely wounded than ever before in the world's history. And as the new guns shoot far the treatment of the wounded on the battlefield and their transport to the hospitals will be much more slow, difficult and danger ous. Angry at World's Tair Officials.

Hurst, chancellor of the projected American university-, and Vice Chancel lor Samu'l IL Beiler will return here j shortly after extensive tripa through the west in the furtherance of the establish ment of the university. The work of se curing f u ids and preparing for building has progressed systematically at the headquarters here through the summer. Large subscriptions have been for establishing- professorships, but the uni versity otiicers are anxious to get the buildings before establishing professor ships aud scholarships. This desire has led to the oiler by a wealthy gentleman, who doe not wish his name used at present, tJ build the tirst structure, to be used as an administration building. It is estimated that it will cost from f 200,000 to 250.000. It will be of stone or marble, three stories high, about 250 feet long by 100 feet deep. The time for breaking ground for this building has not yet been set, but it is not likely to be begun before spring. It will bo first used for a special pur pose, probably a school of history, and while thus used, a second building will bo added. Thus the whole group of 1 buildings will be gradually developed. The observatory is to be located on the highest point in the District of Colum bia, aud i4 to have a height equal to the government observatory near by. Be sides the offer to build the tirst building, there have been twodonations of $100,000 each, one by an Ohio gentleman and the other by a. New York lady, whose names are withheld. The preachers' fund has also grown to $03,000 within recent days. It was started in New York, being restricted to preachers and has been taken up all ever the country until the fund is ex pected to reach $100,000. It will be used to b liM Asbury hall, named after the tirs-t American bishop. The hall will ferve as a religious museum. Mrs. John A. Logan, one of the trustees, has also undertdk sn to raise a special fund, and has set tte figure at .$1,000,000. SPENDS $150,000 A DAY. Japan II to Pay That Morh for the Pleasure of Warring;.

Judge Foote's Pass Pound in a Ticket Scalper's Office. The story about Judge C. E. Foote and Attorney General Little's pass, published in last evening's State Journal, brings out the fact that this is not the first pass scrape Judge Foote has had.

A prominent railroad official said today that last December a trip pass over a well-known Kansas railroad, which was issued to Judge Foote on account of his paper, was found in a Kansas City ticket scalper's office. Judge Foote has never been able to ac count for the pass being in possession of the scalper in a manner satisfactory to the railroad man who issued the pass and for that reason he has since lost all his railroad passes.

John Darby, who has for many years Been considered hi ij in sane, is onoo more in Lis right iidnd, and tho return of reason enabled Mm to give the solution of his wifeV hi th which has long remained h my.-tery, eays tho Reno, Nevada, correspond nt of tho Cincinnati Enqu:rr. She v jiri supposed to haveboer. murdered, as her body was found, mutilate."! and partly covered with earth, while her husband was caught roaming through the for est witli an ax on his shoulder, a rav ing maniac. Tho woman was killed and the man crazed in a fight with a bear. In detail it is perhaps the most pathetic story of lifts ever known, and would furnish a theme for a novelist's pen. John Darby camo to California when a boy, thirty years ago, travel ing with his father and mother, tho former an invalid seeking a climate where he might b restored to health. He died suddenly in the little town o Grass Valley. Hid widow could not survive the shock, and in a few days she rested by the side of her husband, leaving the son, then but 14 years of ago, alone in the world without friends or money, all of their meaua having been exhausted in tho expenses of tho sickness and death of the parents. The boy worked at anything he could do, drifting eventually into Nevada. Here he met a girl as poor as himself, and they were married, going to housekeeping- in a small cabin with a few acres of cleared land around it. They prospered on the little place, and it used to be a common expression among the settlers of that community; "As happy as John and Mary Darby." One day a young pig disappeared, then another, and another, and bear tracks were seen. The husband and wife started together to hunt tho "varmint," ho carrying the ax and sho the rille, with which sho was an ex pert. John in some way became sep arated from his wife, and wxts some distance ahead of her when he was suddenly confronted by a x-nr. It was too close quarters for a fight witli nothing but an ax as a weapon, and he climbed a tree, calling to his wife to le careful, that the bear was there. In some way she misunderstood him and thought that he wanted her. Not suspecting that tho lxar was there, she was within a few feet of the ani mal before she saw him. Hastily raising the rifle the woman fired, but only succeeded in maddening 1liO brute, and a moment later lie wu crushing her in his ponderous paws. Tho husband, when lio saw his wife's fate, j tun pod from the tree to get his ax, but the animal had carried his vic tim into a thicket, and the man, crazed with grief, could not find him. It was noticed that the Darby house was open, and yet no one ap peared to be there, and in a few days a search was made, resulting in find ing tho mutilated body of tho woman, in the thicket and tho marks of tho death struggle. The next day the husband was seen roaming through tho woods with an ax upon his shoulder, alternately moaning and shrieking. Ho was captured by st rat egy, several men appearing in front, of him to attract his attention, while others lassoed him from behind. For five years he was a raving maniac, but two years ago he legan to show signs of returning reason, and is now cured, but he is a broken-down old man ai the age of 45 years, and will never again be fit for work. His recollection is vivid up to tho moment that the bear seized his wife, while beyond that he remembers nothing. In lln Had Lands. Princeton expedition into the Bad Lands in search of fossils lias been wonderfully successful. One of the most important specimens found was the titanotherium, or extinct rhin- .oceros, which was twice as largo as the modern rhinoceros. They also found several specimens of the rhin oceros family and the metamydor, a, j relative of the rhinoceros. Then there i are skeletons of numerous Finall ani mals. TTiey found a few fih skele j tons, the only fish skeletons ever I found in those beds. Last year's ex- pedition from Princeton succeeded in obtaining the only crocodile ever found in the Bad Lands. On this trip a good 8iecimen of the ainphisbaenold lizard was unearthed, the only speci men of tlas reptile ever found in the world. This has no limbs at all, ari l was a vey low order of the lizard. Domesticating the Denny Ihosant A young woman of Oregon has ac complished what the most experiene'-d fanciers have been unable to do; that is, the domestic propagating- of ti. Denny pheasant. She has tamed the wild young chicks so that they ar j willing to feed among domestic fowls and do not try to escape to the woods and fields. She has four pheasant hens in captivity and puts their eggs under a domestic fowl. It is tr, opinion of experts that the chicks hatched from eggs laid in the pheas ant's native nest in the fields an 1 hatched by a domestic fowl will never be tamed.

Promise everything before election and do as they please after they are ia oSce. Clay Cen ter Dispatch. That is what ails the Populist party. Its leaders promised everything before they got into oSca and have performed nothing. The governor has not enforced the prohibitory and anti-gambling laws, he haa appointed to office men who can not command the respect of their fellow- 1 citizens and associates, like Artz, To ld, McCasey and others. lie and his follow state officials have accepted railroad passes and Pullman passes. In fact they have "done as they please 1 since el ac tion." A few days ago a Topesa Journal reporter interviewed all the state board of railroad assessors who were in Tope ka. They all acknowledge 1 tht they have annual passes on ail the railroais of the state and two of them acknowl edged that they have passes oa Pull man cars while Auditor Prattler said he got a Pullman trip paas when he wanted them. Does this account tor the heavy decrease in the Pullmau as4essmoat this year? Doesn't it look a little Strang for these reformers to be accepting favors from the soulless corporations? Oiage City Free Press. We want to call the attention of the Free Press to' another point These same state officials made much of the local A. R. U. organization here, said to be composed of 1,3J0 men. They f.-iirly outdid themselves ia expressing sympa thy for the A. R. U. ia their boycott oa Pullman cars, while all the time thay were carrying Pullman passes in their pockets; a base deception was practicad on the confiding A. li. U. men. Gentle reader, you find by followiag the columns of the Journal that the pass influence taints all grades of oilicial life; it doesn't matter what political party is in power. If thia fact doesn't open your eyes to the rottenness cf the system, then you are blind, indeed. The people j ought to "get real mad" about this mat ter and then they ought to keep from baing partisan. Whea you take sides, then you begin to justify the rottenness on your own side, instead of denouncing It wherever you see it. Political parti ss are an evil which the world is not yet ready to be rid of because it hasn't pro gressed far enough. This i3 a very stupid old world yet. There is no good reason why Charlie Curtis and y. M. Scott should not meet in joint debate. It is not necessary for them to jaunt all over the district and make the debate continuous, but two or three meetings might be arranged that would afford the people an opportunity of hear ing both at the same time. It looks fool ish for Curtis' committee to dodge the challenge when there isn't the slightest danger that Charlie Curtij caa not held his own.

We have teen investigated ia turn by Butler, Sheridan, two Shermans, Blair and so on down to little Billy Chandler, and if we caa stand all that, great Scott I what can't we stand? To eay that raoat cf our folks are redhot over this truly English performance would bo drawing is mild, but a minority and I am in and out of it look on it as a huge joke, an appropriate close for a season vv-hich opened with Corey's inarch on Washington. Ordinary impudence an noys, bat euch ooloefcal cheek as this has in it an element of the sublime. And t-aero is one good thing to bo said for these Englishmen they are not trying to make votes. I have made seven tonrs in tho south and changed my mind on Borne point after each tour, and am therefore dis posed to be charitable. My first experienco after tha war was in Tesas in 1878. Coming fresh from a ruther radical northern community, I expected freedom to do everything for the blacks and do it quickly. Irritated by their dawdling incompetence, I reacted to .the other extreme. I tried the negro by the northern white man's standard and pronounced him incapabla of pxog- t 1 C ..III YyN? V.i! IDA B. WELLS. ress. Set this down as the northern man's first mistako on coming south. They nearly all make it. My next view waa in South Carolina in the campaign of 1876, and there I was almost per suaded that if tho whites did not ester ruinate them they would soon be eating each other. In Mississippi in 1877 and Louisiana in 18791 inclined to the their prevalent theory that the race tended to die out. The census of 1880 knocked all that nonsense oat of ns, and we took a fresh start. Tlire Conclusive Facts. Three long totu-s through the black belt have since convinced me of at least three facta. First, the progress of the blacks in any section depends chief ly on the progress of the whites in that section. Tako this beautiful and pros perous city as an example. A little OTer 50 years ago it was not marked on tho map. Since 1850 it has doubled in popu lation each decade and far more than doubled its wealth and business. It has therefore about the finest colored popu lation in the south. Tho English com mitteemen can se9 their well organized colleges, their fine churches, their ele gant high school and other public build ings. They will be welcomed by many refined and intelligent colored people. They will be handsomely entertained at the hoinss of bishops, doctors of divinity, learned professors and fairly well to do busine-s and professional men, all col ored, biit they will find another class of blacks which is a menace to tho peace of any community. Where white progress has been greatest colored progress has been great est Where the whites Lave been slow or stationary the blacks have also, and if there bo a place in the south where the whites have retrograded I think you will find that the negroes have moved back and kept "company distance." The second fact of importance is that the colored race is rapidly divid ing into classes as clearly marked as the Four Hundred and the ragged Reu bens in New York. And this is one of the surest signs of increasing civiliza tion. There is a small class gaining rapidly, a much larger class gaining slowly and another stationary or retro grading. It mast not be forgotten that the imported negroes were from many different regions. One authority says 143 tribes were represented, the intel lectual range as great aa from the Cau casian cf Boston to the "greaser" of Mexico. The third fact of importance is that tho two races are getting farther apart, and that right rapidly. The good of each race respect each other, but have no wish for closer association, and, as for the bad, one fact tells it all mis cegenation haa almost entirely ceased. A Case In Point. Standards of right and propriety dif fer amazingly, but there is one offense which rouses to fiercest fury the men of every race from the Caucasian to the Piute violence to its women, especial ly to little girl. In the presence of a victim the most enlightened community goes iEsana. In 1S76 I was in southern Ohio when the corpse of a lady (her name was Bennett, I think) was found in the woods, murdered by a tramp. He was dragged through the streets, with the best men and women in the place crying for vengeance. A leading cilizen, an aged Christian, who had never been heard to utter an ro to, was asked to address tha mob for law and v i order. He began, broke down in tears and fairly screamed, "Boys, go hang th ii And they did hang him, the geod mmxi agisting, the good wosaes plaudig. The popular rage at tha so a tii ia tafoll fiercer becaus the danger is tenfold greater. In a thickly aafctled and thoroughly policed country like Eagland that crime is al most aa impoeaibility. The south ia all frontier. Savs in a very few localities the population is sparse. Women and Echoclgirls must often go long distances on lonely roads. The temptation to the naturally lawless is great The retribu tion must be swift, certain and terrible. Aa a rac our negro is most unfortu nately situated. He has been brought from the rudest condition of barbarism and put under the requirements of the highest civilization, while there he has not been time for the internal to change in harmony with the external. Scien tifically speaking, the organism has not developed to lit the environment The negro is subjected to 600 times as much temptation as in Africa and has not acquired five times the power of moral resistance. The result is much the same as it would be with a lot of wild cattle gathered at random from the plains and mountains and put under the restraints of a well ordered stock farm. It has taken 1,200 years of select breeding to produce the mild eyed and gentle Jer sey, yet every stockman knows that when the sex instinct is roused the wild nature is apt to break out and the Jer sey to become as dangerous as a wild Northumbri an. A Kodd Kenedy. There is, however, a remedy, and it is high time to apply it. The negroes themselves should organize more thor oughly and mark the bad men of their race. The whites must realize that every lynching has a reactive effect on the natura of citizens a hardening, de moralizing effect. Most important of all, there is a chance that an innocent man may suffer, and though the chance be but one in a thousand that is enough to condemn the whole Fystem. Miss Ida B. Wells has achieved a re markable success of tho kind. It is evident at a glance that her view is al together presumed and one eided, and many of the statements she makes can not in the very nature of things be true. Nevertheless there is an evil, and it should be cured, nor should tho absurd exaggerations of reformers hinder it. And, as to our English friends, let them come, and welcome. They are sure to see ten times an much good as evil, and tho more they see of us the better they will likens. They will find nine-tenths cf this southern country as open to the rambler as their own settlemei: in new countries are and much the s-ije sort of people. They will be sneered at a lit tle and laughed at a good deal, but their own countrymen already settled here will tell them many things they did not know, and after hearing it they will think better of us.

If you want to hear good etories, you will do well to gee into the company of an accomplish ed patent promoter. "One of the most interesting cranks I've met in a long time," said one of them to me the other day, "was a chap with a scheme for a church which he thought would be a treasure to indolent preachers. The pulpit was to be in tho center, and the pews were to be in cir cles extending clear around the speak er's stand, rising at the back as tho tiers of seats rif;e in a theater. The pulpit was to be stationary, but the pews were to rest on rollers, running on circular tracks. Ey the use of an electrio motor the seats were to be kept in constant, gentle motion, and in that way the preacher would face the entire congre gation in service without once having to turn around. I don't remember whether the device had yet been patent ed or not, but I had a great time getting rid of the fellow. "His scheme," said the second of my promoter friends, "reminds me of tho plan that has actually been adopted in jailbuildiug somewhere in the west The cells are in tiers in a great cylinder of boiler iron. This stands on end in side a cylindrical structure of masonry and is kept slowly moving, while the outer etotio walls, of course, remain still. Before this jail was built there were many escapes from the sheriff's custody, but not afterward. The most persistent chap I have met was a fellow who wanted to save a lot of money to liquor bottlers. He proposed to get up a bottle that could not be used a second time. Inside the flask he was to have some sort of a movable float which the minute the last drop of liquor was pour ed out would fly up and act as a stopper. Until it was removed nothing more could be poured in, and the only way to remove it was to break the bottle. "I knew an inventor, said the third man, "who, inspired, I suppose, by see ing a gas engine at work, proposed to use gunpowder in the cylinders of en gines for ocean eteamera He had a model of his contrivance, too, but it was of wood, and he even tried to v7ork it, of course. His machine was to au tomatically deposit, say, a quarter of an ounce of powder behind the piston at every stroke. It waa to be exploded by electricity, and the resulting gases, he held, would furnish ample force to move an engine of gTeat horsepower. I told him I wouldn't take the invention up because I was afraid that some day a spark from the explosions in the cylinder would reach the main powder magazine, and then there would be force enough to smash the entire craft. The fellow got very angry at me and would never speak to rue again. But I didn't mind. Then the talk drifted to the subject of good luck in touching cripples on the street and the bad luck that inheres in the number 13, but as the state ments made were not substantiated by affidavits it would be injudicious to re pet them here.

Our stock, consisting of a good assort ment of popular priced Dry Goods, Notions, Millinery, Boots and Shoes, Racket Notions, and dipping lightly into many lines besides, is nearly all here and will probably all bo here by the end of the week. We expect to have it marked and ready for sale by Satur day, the 29th September. Our entire stcck has been bought for cash, with the benefit Of all cash discounts. It is the result of the best judgment and careful work in hunting bargains of our three buyers, all experts in their several lines. Our rent and other expenses will be much less than that of any of our competitors carrying anywhere near asnlarge a stock. We shall sell abso lutely for spot cash and with one price to everybody. All this gives us, we think, an advantage over whether it does or not, the fact dollar's worth of our goods is and all bought since the recent tremendous reductions brought about by the new tariff, does unquestionably give us a big insido over those dealers whose stock is princi pally made up of old goods, half or more of them bought months (or years) ago at old time prices. Do you realize what this new tariff means? Three .items out of four in a general stock can actually be retailed profitably for less than the wholesale prices of last spring. Nothing is higher; every thing, or almost everything, is much cheaper. In a few days we will adver tise some prices. Watch for that "ad." It will interest you.

The local Populist organization has denounced and repudiated General L. C. Frye, the commander-in-chief of the industrial army of California, who was invited here last weiek to lecture. His address was very radical, almost revolutionary, and before lwaviug- this city he took into his confidence several persons whom he could trust and told them he was the agent and organizer of a revolutionist farty and was merely using the Populist cloak to get in his work. The group system of the anarchists is used, though it is entirely separate from them. It is international in scope and growing rapidly in numbers, he said. Tha idea was suggested by the great Chicago railway ttrike of last summer. When well organized they will await the coming of a similar condition, and when the laborers of the nation are in hot blood over a wrong and the state and national soldiers are supporting corpor ate greed, the signal to rise up and seiz& the government will be given, and the orgauizatica will act according to the arranged plan. "General" Frye was told he could not use the Populist party here to machinate against the government. The men he took into his confidence exposed him and ha was told by the Populist leaders that he could not address Populist meet ings here. The persons who have ex posed Frye's schemes are reliable. Frye is an educated man and a good speaker. He was one. the instructor in rnechanic.il drawing in the schools of San Francisco, I and later was master mechanic in large railway shops in the west j NOT ALL TIIIETES. Dr. Parkhnrst Says Tlier Are Soma Good Men in Tammany, But Very l ew. Tkw York, Sept i(J. Dr. Parkhurat carried his crusade against vice into the annexed district last night. The doctor had never been north of the Harlem river before, although a branch of the City Vigilance league has been doing efficient work there for the past two years. Last night a rousing meeting of the league was held in Bethany Presby terian church, One Hundred and Thirty seventh street, near Willis avenue, Dr. Parkhurst being the principal orator. When Dr. Parkhurst stepped to the front of the platform h. was heartily ap plauded. He said he was not going to make a speech- but merely a talk. He got at Tammany ia the first iur.. r. There are good men in this despicable organization," he said, -but only a few of them. Many ara amiable men, and when I see them I feel glad that the or ganization is not wholly composed of thieves. "But it ia the women I am going to talk to tonight," continued the doctor. He said he knew the women were inter ested in the work of the league, although it was not until recently that he heard of them. He said the women could do almost as much as the men to bring about the desired reform by using their persuasive powers. He asked them to look to their sons and use their influenoe to induce such of them as are wayward to steer clear of fnntaminatimr associations. other stores here; but that every bran new, a the outlook fur victory for hia society this fail was brighter than ever before, but the man lor mayor must be a person who would do his duty.

The two grat?t womea orators in the United States were in town at the same time today. Mrs. J. Eilsn Foster and Mr. M. Elizabeth Lease broke bread under the roof of Topeka hotels this morning. Mrs. J. Ellen Foster, president of the Woman's National Hepntlican associa tion, has just finished her second week in Kansas,and she will be here for 10 days more, and then return to Colorado and complete the work of the campaign in that state. She will make her last speech in the state in Topeka on the evening of October 5. "I have never seen so larga meetings," said she to a Joi;hnal reporter, or such large audiences from the rural districts. Great wagon loads of farm people came ten to twenty-five miles to attend after noon meetings. Among the country people ther is a marked change of opin ion concerning Populism. The farnnri and farmers' wives are realizing that the promises of the People's party have not been redeemed, but on the contrary the administration of the state affairs by the present administration Las been waste ful of the people's money and shameful of the people's honor. "The women also realize that the ques tion r .J government, which involves the dignity of Isw and the certainty of its enforcement, must not be sac-ririced, even though some of thern feel keenly the absence of a recognition of woman suffrage ia the Republican platform. All inlt IligenS womea know that every interest of womea social, educational, legal and political are Eafer ia the hands of Republicans than in any other. A woman who today in Kansas gives her strongest Influence and her best work to the support of Republicanism is doing, in my opinion, the most for herself and her home. 'I do not mean to say that the women who are working for political equality from a non-partisan standpoint are doing inferior wcrk by no means. No grander reform ever engaged the attention of any people than is pending in the amend ment now before Kansas, but I make no plea from a Republican standpoint for the adoption of this amendment, al though I believe the amendment will carry in the stat-, and that a largo pro portion of its supporters viil be Repub licans. 'T do not impugn the motives of any man who is opposed to woman suffrage. I do not believe his opposition is alw-ys grounded in ignorance, or arrogance, or a desire to 'keep women down.' Some few men believe that a woman's vote might be an advantage to the state, but they fear the effect upon woman herself. "I believe they are sincere when they say they shrink from this new departure and will not consent to throw wooiaii in to the arena of political controversy and expose her to possible contamination of practical politics. I think the apprehen sions of these men are not well grounded, but appreciate the chivalry of their mo tive. "I have had large experience among women and in woman's work. I believe woman's power in the home and her in fluence for everything good and her precious relation to the family, to socie ty and to all that Is best in life will be increased by giving her the ballot. I do not say this as a Republican. I say this as a woman and as a lover of my coun try and of the race." "Do youspeak for woman suffrage?" questioned the reporter. "No, not specifically," replied Mrs. Foster. "I am in Kansas as a Republi can, advocating the doctriues of the par ty as they are set forth in the national and state platforms. I do declare my personal convictions on the pending amendment, but I do not attempt to drive Republican voters to support it on party grounds.

She has a ready com mand of choice language, has a remark ably good voice, tells anecdotes well, makes her illustrations plain, and is a woman of great power, perseverance and fortitude.

A SILENT liOWEHY All the "All Nish" Iluu in i-v V.iik Clise(l. New York, Sept. SO. Twenty -fivo 'it Inspector McLaughlin's detectives left police headquarteis at 1 o'clock this mornincr and broke up into pairs at the Bowery and Hotistou sireet. Some wont on east and west shies of that lively thor oughfare aud others got on cars going up aud down town. Ihey were out to show that Supt. Byrnes has about made up his mind to see that excise law could not be held up as a red rag in his face in the future. The de'.ective3 stopped at every galoot) as they went along the Bowery and at 1:30 there was not an "all night" bar iti operatiou on the street. The bartenders were simply tol l that ,:this goes."

Down Park Row where nobody it ever supposed to go to sleep the '"all-nights" were closed tight as a drum. That is to say they were not open to full view from the street. Some saloon keeper, who thought it was simply another bluff, went on selling beer and whisky. They found out their mistake soon when the bartenders were marched oil to the police stations.

The great, all powerful 'long scciety, whose member? are commonly known as Highbinders, has decreed that the law of the 6t.ite of Missouri shall not be enforced in tho case of the attempted murder of Lee Jong by Fung Lou. An agreement written in the strange hieroglyphics of the Chinese language was drawn up. The compact speiiies that Fung Lou shall pay a stipulated sum to Lee Jong for a number of years, and that Lee Jong shall exorcise and perma nently remove the devil which he put in Fung Lou. The crime which Fuag Lou commit ted is a felony by the code of this state but the Tong society would rather nettle the matter itself, and it seeun that the police are perfectly willing for the so ciety to do so. caklisleTka V ES.

Everybody ha3 heard of her, but not everybody knows that she is now 79 years old, and that she lives quietly upon the west sid j of New York in a pretty apartment, sur rounded with all the implements for work. She manages a typewriting ma chine nicely. Compared with Mrs. Stan ton, Hiss Anthony, at 74, is really youth ful, with her oldae qnito ahtad of her. Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher, aged 82, almost complained this spring of being fatigued. For .financial reasons, owing to an unfortunate investment, she was obliged to Etoye, giving rip her old rooms, where she could eee the doors of Plymouth church, and move into a flat. She had to "store" many cf her things, and ehe packed several trunks for Ecnd ing away to relatives. Mrs. Gilbert, at 74, and 2Jrs. John Drew, 7G, a-o both as active as kittens. Mrs. Drew's theatrical company, recent ly formed, owes much of its sncce.-s to her very clever dancing, always many times encored, and those who have f-cou Mrs. Gilbert's "old women" of late years and have noted the exquisite minuet dancing done by them can hard ly forbear wishing that tome of the younger dancers would .-row old, that they mipht be as gi-aceful and nimble. Mrs. D. P. Bowers, nr:a!y 70, and Maggie Mitchell, over the (10 mark, are improving as they come into the realm of tha charmed exi&ttnco of perfect old age. Lady Wilde is probably some years over 70, but her "blind goes on untiring ly. Her latest public movo is to secure titles for wemen similar to those con ferred upon men for deeds performed. And she has never ceased for a day to lecture for woman's rights. Among the suffragists are several that are more than hale and hearty over threescore and ten. There is Matilda Jocelyn Gage, grand in her platform eloquence and bu:-y writing all the time in ber home at Fayettevilie, where she "leads the town" in all senses, social and intellectual. Isabella Beecner Hooker is another of these. Last winter, after catching up with her correspondence, too long neglected for the- World's fair, Mrs. Hooker jour neyed to southern California, hoping to "shake off" a slight attack of rheuma tism, so that &he could spend the sum mer at her country home near Hartford entertaining guests and working as usu al. Mrs, Hooker, past 75, of course deeply pities 2T unfortunate sister, Harriet Beecher Stowe, who from over work lost her brain faculties, thongh smart otherwise, at 82. A very delightful woman is Miss Katherine Draper, who i i ls41 had the honor to be photographed by Ler broth er, Professor Draper of the University of the Citv of New York. Miss Draper j was as that time a yosng lac in soeie- ty, and the fact t hat a "sun picture" had been taken of her made her a great object of interest. The picture, which was the first one ever "taken" of a per son, was sent to England to Sir William Herschel, from whose sou it was procur ed for the World's fair. Miss Draper, still -jnrharried and very fine looking at 80, tolls of it with much enjoyment. She remembers the process more vividly and with more intelligence than could in any of tho fcocioty belles nowadays tell how thev arc photograph ed. Among writers thoro are a few who must have passed into what ordinary women would consider old ace, yet who are livelier than ever and doing better work. Some are even assisted by their grandchildren. Think of it! Marion Harland has just returned from the orient, whither she went to write an eastern novel and to get pointers for eastern reform. Amelia Barr, in her seventieth year, is one of the best paid of living novelists and travels to Europe every Hummer, taking a party of young people with her. Then, toward the old age mark, yet so splendid that no one dares to send them quite over it into tha seventy-lives, are the leaders of New York society. Among them are Mrs. William Astor and Mrs. Paran Stevens. These fine society women never grow old. Occasionally they die. One reads about their demise in tho newspapers. Their friends speak of it as "sudden" and "unexpected," but they never say that she was "old" or "feeble." Grace Greenwood is another cf the 6mart old women. She holds annual re ceptions, very large ones, at her Wash ington home, and she does considerable writing and pullic reading now, though 50 years ago she was an accomplished editor and owner of a magazine. Bos ton Globe. Women Iliysicins. According to recent statistics, there are about 2,000 women practicing medi cine on tho continent of North America, of whom ISO are homeopath ists. Tl e majority are ordinary practitioners, but among the remainder are 7o hospital physicians or surgeons, 90 professors in the schools, 610 specialists for tho dis eases of women, 70 alienists. Go orthop edists, 40 oculists and auristsai d final ly 30 electro therapeutists. In Camtda there is but one medical school exclu sively devoted to the training of medical women, but in the United States ia 1893 there were 10, cue of them being a homeopathic establishment. A Sense of Duty. To fo many of our women who theo retically believe in their right of suf frage the exercise of that right will b-3 accomplished more from a sense of duty than from any pleasure to be derived, and already many of otir best informed women are shrinking from the respon sibilities which such legislation will place upon their shoulders. At all times more actively conscientious than men, they will brood over the vital questions of the day and morbidly consider tho obligation to vote the heaviest burden they have yet be?n called upon to bear.

Alary Antell ISivrrie. Mary Ansel 1 Barrie, the young bride cf the clever author, J. M. Barrie, is a very pretty girl and a sweet, gentle and estimable one. Though for some years a successful actress in Loudon, she has always been a yirl of simple and retir ing tastes. She has led the quietest of lives in the home of a matron friend a life so quiet that old fashioned peo ple, it is said, would have called her a "homo bird. She has a special talent for dressmaking and millinery, and all her costumes, professional and private, have been made by her own fingers. She is accomplished, being a skilled musician and a clever artist in oils and water colors. Riding and swimming must be added to the list. She is a member cf an old and much rer-pected family and has treasures of beautiful old lace and china. No portrait, i is said, has ever dona justice to her bem- ty, especially to her complexion, so per fect that she has scarcely needed to make up at all for tho stage. But better than her beauty is her kindly, upright and generotts nature. Altogether Mr. B;rrio is a lucky man in spite of the illness which may perhaps take him from this world while his lifa and hap piness aro in their prime. St. Louis Republic. I.T'-Ty Tennyson. Tho dowager Lady Tennyson is mak ing an excellent recovery from tho severe fall she recently suffered at Aid worth. At the best of times spending her life upon a sofa, the laureate's wid ow is an untiring reader of books both grave and gr.y. In a modest way herself an author, too, she will doubtless be represented in future anthologies of poetry by women, though she supposes a denial of that luxury due to her hus band's name while she lives. Lady Tennyson, though a strcng patriot, has never shared in the national fits of dis like toward other peoples. Not even the periodical tides of anti-French feeling have carried her along with them, and when Lord Tennyson wrote his "Rifle men, Form!" she made her protest at tho first reading aloud in tho family circle. "My wife thinks it too inflam ing to the English and too insulting to tho French," wrote the laureate on the margin of the first rough draft of tho verses before sending them to a friend. Pall Mall Budget. EnjjlisH Women on Eicyclea. English women of fashion, with the conservatism of their race, are oniy just now formally adopting the bicycle craze after the smart dames of Paris and Newport aro probably half through with it. A fashionable "cycling school" near Hyde park receives most of the pu pils from the aristocratic social ranks, and duchesses and countesses sprawl and tumble recklessly from their ma chines in their efforts to attain profi ciency. No English woman permits her self to be seen riding in public until she is thoroughly mistress of her wheel. Part cf their outfit is a tailor made skirt, neatly rolled and carried on the handle bar, to be quickly buttoned if the rider dismount.-;. Mrs. Jack Leslie, formerly .Miss Jerome, a Randolph Churchill, is i sister of Lady fikillful m. r. as is the Daehef-s of Jeune is said to be and takes early mo Manchester. Lady fond of the t-poit uir.g spins almost daily. Mrs. Asquiih has long been an accomplished wheelwoman. Ouidti's Latest Scold. Oxiida never was particularly merci ful to her cwn sex, but sometimes sho docs give them a most merciless castiga tion, as when recently she declares of '"the new woman:" "Her precept and example in the treatment of the animal creation might be of infinite use in mit igating the hideous tyranny of human ity over them, but she does little or nothing to this effect S?;o wears dead birds and the fikins of dead creatures; she hunts t he hare and shoots the pheas ant; she drives and rides with more brutal recklessness than men; she watches with delight the struggles of tie dying salmon and of the wounded r V.J f-i,J. is deer; she keeps her horses standing in fog and snow for hours undc-r the torture of the bearing rein," and so on.lhrough a long list of misdemeanors. To the last indictment I am afraid very many of our fashionable women will have to plead guilty. The society woman is not merciful to her beast. Jecumette H. Walworth. A I;sli Trashing: Circuit. I hope the f-tory cf the colored wom an who has a dishwashing circuit in Chicago is a true cm-, for such a helper, if once evolved in one city, might be apt to cause others to appear elsewhere, and. great would bo the happiness of those women who, for economy's sake or other good reason, keep no servants. The dishes that must be done alter the dainty breakfast, the lunch and cozy dinncr are the bugbear of many a wom an s existence, tho real hindrance to many delights that might be. Now, if some one will only make real this fairy story of tho woman who goes to 20 neighboring houses three times a day and washes the dishes of a family of three for 15 cents a week, washes them 'lean without breakage and without walking off with them, she will have the gratitude of many housewives. New York Post. A correspondent writes from Queens land, Australia, as fellows: Tho wom an's movement in Australia is bound ing along. A bill providing forwomau hood suffrago is to be introduced into our parliament nest session, and yon will bo glad to learn that a majority of members arc pledged to support the measure. No Sex Distinction. The board of regents of the State university of Michigan has resolved "that henceforth in the selection of professors, instructors and other assist ants for the university no distinction be mailo between men and women, but that the applicant best fitted for the po sition receive the appointment." Hard Winter Signs In Maine. Those who study omens say another longf cold winter, rilled with blustering storms, is ahead. The goose bone is nearly all white, and snow, they say, will lie on the ground from early in De cember until April or later. Corn husks are more than usually thick. The maize has put on an extra overcoat to protect itself from the rero temperature to come. Woodchucks and chipmunks are already fat enough to kill, and their fur is dtjnse and fine and soft. They, too, predict cold weather and will seek winter quar ters early. Finally, the price cf coal is advancing, and that should settle all doubts in tho mind of tho average man as to whether we're going to have any winter this vear. Lcwiston Journal. Courtesy Id 8wcdca.

"Buttons off his shirts, his etockings a perfect sieve and riot a string where it ought to be!" "Let ma see, Betty," said Miss Chequer field, taking the bundle of newly ironed clothes gingerly between her tCngers. '"Yes, it's his wash come home, sure enough. with 'Moses Blandford' pinned on a paper, so there shouldn't be any mis take. I wonder if it isn't my Christian duty just to set a stitch in thee. He's nil alono in the world. Betty, giro me my work basket. Yes 'm," said Betty, and away she went to tell Mrs. Ferguson, the landlady, that "the old maid on the top floor had undertook to mend Mr. Blandford'a clothes for him." Miiis Mercy Chequerfleld stitched away, humming- snatches of Bong, a3 romantical ly as if she had been a 17-year-old. Sen timent lurked In the stockings. Romance was sewed in around the frayed edges of melancholy buttonholes. Now, as Mr. Motes Blandford waa a well grown 6 footer of 40 odd summers, the lerm "boy," was perhaps eoniewhut inappropriate. "I wonder why he never got married," thought Miss ClH4uerfleld. "Dear, dear, here's a button sewed on with black silk! I must cut it off and replace it properly. And a zigzaar tear just run up ou the wrong side! Keally, it's quite sad!" And Miss Chequerfleld nipped off a stray end of thread with her scissors as vicious ly as if it had represented the head of the imaginary coquette who had blighted the sensitive heart of Mr. Moses Blandford! Miss Meredith culled Mercy by the nick name of the Fornloin Hope! She didn't mean anything. She was a little laugh ing beauty, with a lover for each one of her ten taper fingers and two or three to spare, and Mh;s Chequerlield imitated her cravats and ribbon bows, with a fond idea that what became Patty Meredith could not be unbecoming to her. "I think somebody ought to tell that Chequerlield woman what a fool she is making of herself, said Miss Ferguson austerely. "Law, mem!" said Betty, "she wouldn't believe you! And she's got a good heart, arter all!" Mr. Moses Blandford chuckled when ha saw the basket of neatly mended linen on the chair in his room. "Betty," quoth Mr. Blandford, eying the miraculous outblosisoiiiing of buttons where were blanks and dainty darns in place of unsightly rents. "Betty, who did thisr" "That old maid, sir, across the hall," said Betty, grinning. "She was sewin away for dear life all this niornin." "Very thoughtful of the old girl!" said Mr. Blandford. "Betty, give her my compliments, and tell her I am much obliged. Miss Chequerfleld smirked radiantly when the message of thanks arrived. "I knew he had an appreciative eoul," said she. ''I read it in his eyes. I am never mistaken in physiognomy." And she set diligently to work to em broider a pair of slippers for him. From that moment Moses Blandfoid lived, as it were, in a btate of siege. Smok ing cases, a. crocheted nightcap, with a tassel like that of Ali 1'aoha's self, a sear let dressing gown, nearly startled him out of his wits. "Just as she can afford!" chuckled Mr. Blandford. So he wore the dressing gown, 6huliled about in the slippers, pulled the) nightcap over hia brows every night and generally reveled in the goods the gods had provided for him, while Patty Meredith giggled, and asked Miss Chequerlield "if a day was set yet." "Because," said little Patty, "there's no use trying to cheat me! I know there's going to be a wedding in tho house as well as if I saw the veil and orange wreath!" "Nonsense!" said Miss Mercy. "How can you?" And the blushed to the tip of her roseate noso as Mr. Blandford came into the room, a baldheaded Apollo. "My goodness me!" said Patty. "What charming Slippers! Whero did you get them, Mr. Blandford?" "A fairy dropped them from her wings!" said Mr. Blandford, bowing clumsily in tho direction of the spinster. Patty clipped considerately out of the room, and Miss Chequerfield felt that her hour had come. Mr. Blandford cleared his throat. "I guess likely we're going to get rain," said he. Yes, fluttered Mercy, almost inaudi bly. "Gold's down again," he added. '"Is it!'" said Miss Chequerlield. And at this stage the dinner bell inter rupted the current of soft nothings. "He will certainly propose tonight!" thought Merey. So she dressed herself in a plum colored silk, with trimmings of black lace, and an artificial rose over her left ear, and came down stairs at about S o'clock. Mr. Blandford sat there reading a letter. "I hope I'm not intruding?" said Mercy. "Not at all, not at all," sttid Moms. "Tho truth is, I'm very glnd to see you. I wanted to tell you something." "Now it's coming," thought Miss Chequerfleld. "Though perhaps I've no right to take it for granted you are interested in my concerns," added Mr. Blandford. "Whatever interests you must interest me," she murmured. I've just got a letter from my wife, and she's coming on next week." "From your wife?" "Yes," said Mr. Blandford complacent ly, "and a right smart, stirring woman 6ho is. I should like you to make her ac quaintance, because you've been very kind to me." "Kind!" Miss Chequerfield thought, with a sinking heart, of the piles of stock ings she had patiently darned; the t-birts she had mended, the funds the had invest ed in fancy materials, and fihe felt, for an Instant, almost inclined to commence a suit for the recovery of money obtained under false pretenses. His wife! And lie had the face to sit there, calmly staring at her, and tell her thisl But there is a world of endurance in fe male human nature, and people have smiled at the rack before now. Misa Chequerlield faltered something about 'very happy Indeed," and so faded away the last dim sparkle of her lost hope. For she is an old maid yet, and she doesn't grow younger as the years roll by.

GUILELESS. r I The Young Slan With the Downy Beard and the Games lie Flayed. He was a young man, with a downy beard, who had come off an evening train. Instead of going out with other passengers, he hunted up the epeoial offi cer and said: "I want a little information. When I was coming in, a man sat down beside me in the smoking car and took out three cards and began to throw 'em about like this. One was an ace, and he said he'd bet me $3 I couldn't pick out that card after he'd thrown 'em around. It was a game, wasn't it?" "Of course it was!" replied the offi cer. "He was a three card monte man, and you ought to have known better than to put up your money. How much did you lose?" "Oh, I didn't lose! I bet him three times and made $15. All I wanted to know was what they call the game. I'll write the name down before I forget it. Three card monte. I seel Then tho fel low did something else. He pulled out three little cups and a pea and mixed 'em all up and wanted to bet me I couldn't find the pea. Is that a game?" "Certainly it's a game thimble rig ging. You ought to have read of it ia the papers years ago. You lost about $20, I suppose?" "Lose $20! Oh, no! I bet him twice and won $10. I'll write that down under the other game. Let's see. Thimblo rig ging. Rather odd name, isn't it? Don't see what a thimble has to do with it. No use to ask who invented it or when. The fellow seemed to be greatly discour aged about something, but he got out a pack of cards and asked me if I could play poke poke" "You mean poker?" "Perhaps I do. Is that a game?" "I should remark! Did you play poker with him?" "I suppose I did. He gave me some cards, took some himself and then said he'd bet $5 on his hand. I said I'd bet 10 on mine, and when he said $15 I Eaidi20. Then he flung down his cards, called mo a fool and went into the next car. "And he gave up the bet?" "Oh, yes; gave it right up." "And you won T5 of hiia ia all?" "Yes, if 15. See? Just ?15. That last game was poker, eh? Queer name, but I suppose it's allright. I'll put it down under the others. That makes three card monte, thimble rigging and poker. You are sure about it, are you?" "Of course." "Well, that's all right, except about the money. Do you have any orphan asy lums in this town, officer?" "Three or four. "Yes, very glad. I'll hunt them up and divide the monev between 'em. That will be right, won't it?" The oflicer stared at him and made no reply, and tho young man with a downy beard and childlike expression lifted up his grip and added: "Three card monte, thimble rigging and poker. I've got 'em down and will try to commit tho names to memory. Officer, your intelligence and courtesy are to be commended. Farewell 1" Detroit Free Press. Wear and Tear.

STATE JOURNAL, WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 26, 1894. SOW, JUDGE THOMPSON A The Crowning Glory of the 'Age. Man's enterprise culminated at the World's Columbian Exposition. The memory of it will be a marvel for all time. The fame there acquired will live for years. The manufact urers of Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder a-ppreciate the award to them of highest honors at the Exposition. The significance of the compliment, the splendid character of the indorsement, cannot be underrated. It stamps Dr. Price's as without a peer among the baking- pow ders. The jury of awards, an exceptionally intelligent bedy, was headed by the Chief Chemist of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture. They found Dr. Price's Cream Baking: Powder strongest in leavening- power, perfect in purity, and of uniform excellence. 'Foremost Baking Ponder in all the World. WO II HIED THE MAYOR. A Delegation of Women Want n Water Trough in I.oninali Hill. Mayor Harrison is in an unhappy state of rain 1 today. A delegation of women waited upon him this morning and pave him such a "talking to" as the mayor of a city seldcm receives. Two months ago the council ordered a water trough put up at the corner of Tenth and Buchanan streets, to accom modate the people in Lowman Hill and vicinity whose wells had given out and who had not the advbntage of city water. The trough was not put in and the people did not understand why the order of the council has not been complied with and the ladies waited upon the mayor to land out the reason. He tol l them that The water company had refused to allow a trough to be put up unless a meter was put in and the city pay gallon rates for the water used. He eaidthe city could net afford to do this, lie also said that if a trough is put up there the people in. the other suburbs will demand troughs, and besides there is already a troueh two blocks away. "Well, we would like to know," said the spokeswoman, "why it is that wo have to pay taxes and receive no benefit. 1 would just like to know where the money goes we pay for taxes." The mayor tried to pacify them in his most persur.sive manner but utterly failed, and they left in extremely bad humor. F. J. CLOSE'S DOUBLE. The Go Vfnior'it 1'rlvate Secretary lias One ilk John L.. atiy. Fred J. Close, tl e govsrnor's private secretary, has a double in Topeka in the person of John L. Guy, late candidate for prolate judge. The two men are about the same height, both have full gray beards, and tbe left sleeves of each of them are empty from mutilations re ceived in the civil war. Mr. Guy is frequently taken for Mr. Close, but he is a st tunch Republican. Mr. Guy is thinking therefore of having n large card printed to wear on the front of his coat: "1 am not F. J. Close." To a Journal reporter today he said: I was walking up Kansas avenue last night when an old m.n from some rural district stopped me and extended his hand. "How air you. Colonel? We're goin' to lick the everlasting stuffia' outeu 'em this year out my way.' '"Hold on, 1 said, vho do you suppose I am?' "Why, ain't you Fred Close?' ''No; and what's more I am not a Pop ulist. You'ra the fourth man that's tak en me for Close today, and I want you to understand but the man had dived in to the Dutton house." BETTER VACCINATE. rsestioiie Made by the City Physician in K. -Kuril to Smallpox. Offk k of Hoard of Health, Topeka, Kan, Sept. 0, The smallpox is prevalent in Leaven worth and Atchison and neighboring citiea. The authorities at Leavenworth have wisely closed the public schools on account of the distase being iu their midst. We intend to prevent its entrance into Topeka. As a precautionary meas ure, however, public attention is called to the necessity of vaccination. The physicians are asked to report to the board of health tier;- and ail suspicious oases. With vaccination, Emallpoi can be stamped out of existence, and with proper c.uo on the part of pi ysicians of the city, should the d.sease mike its appearance in our midst, it can be perfectly con trolled. A little carelessness in the mat ter, however, may cause loss of life and seriously interfere with our business in terests, and hence the importance of ,ea&s the -if Will if. etrictly carrying1 out the only mean3 of prevention. The city administration has wisely provided that persons who are unable to pay for being vaccinated will be vacci nated free by the city physician upon satisfactory proof of their inabil'ry. J. 15. HlBBEX, M. D., City Pnysician. HOW TO DO CHAKITY WORK Edward Wilder rviakes His Plans For the Poor 3lueh Clearer. Since the famous meeting at Library haJl at which Edward 'W ilder expressed such decided views regarding the treat ment of the poor by the people of To peka this winter the Associated Charities have not had a meeting. The committees to visit and confer with the city and county authorities on the poor question have not sent in their re ports and they will be expected to pre sent them at the regular annual meeting which takes place at Library hall next Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock. This is also the regular election of officers and directors. The plan of Mr. Wilder will also be further discussed. Notwithstanding the amount of ad verse criticism aud in some instances abuse that his scheme for taking care of the poor has brought down upon him, Mr. Wilder continued to investigate the matter and is more in favor of his idea now than ever. When he whs east re cently he talked to a good many people about it that had had experience and they left the impression with him that they too considered it the only good way to protect the deserving in all cases. "This is rtot a political idea," said Mr. Wilder, "it is simply a question of keep ing the most people from starving with the means at our command, and of keep ing unworthy people from robbing the doserving poor. I think it much better, and all with whom I have talked on the subject agree with me, to give employ ment to a deserving number than to keep in idleness a host of unworthies. "If we should offer $1 a day to the poor people of Topeka it would not le long before all the poor people in Kansas would be Slocking into Topeka to be em ployed at that price. And if we should make the hire $1.50 a day they would te coming in from Oregon and Indiana. Another thing, we do not want to com pete with the living industries of our city in tha matter of wages. It is simply charity work, and while we can get along perhaps without the work they would give us, we can use it. "I think it is a good scheme, too, to have the city divided into twenty or thirty charity districts and have one 'vis itor' for each. Let the visitor lea visi tor in reality and get posted personally on the poor of her particular district; not sit down and receive promiscuous appli cations and deal out promiscuous alms. "I know that the way we handled the poor here last winter there were lots of people who received alms that were sim ply frauds and took the fool out of the mouths of their deserving neighbors. Whenever we would be donated a car of coal or fifty sacks of tlour, and the fact was printed in the papers, we were im mediately besieged by people who did not really and absolutely neei it as a charity at all until we were compelled to tell deserving paople that we h id noth ing for them. "I am not in favor of advertising our donations, either of money or articles, ia the papers until the end of the season when a satisfactory report caa be made to the public covering the entire winter. "My only aim in thi is to da the most good with the limited means we hae, invite independence among the people and have the charity work this year handled in a way to please all interested."

Are You Sure Tliat the Holding of a Pass DOES HOT INFLUENCE DECISIONS In Yonr Conrt !-There Are Lawjeri in Topeka That Think It hoes. Lawyers S. B. Isenhart and Ed Mc Keever will go next week to Osage City to try a case before Judge B. L. Thomp son; and the case is one in which a topic now commanding a great deal of atten tion, that of judges holding passes, has played an important part. The client of the Topeka attorneys is a crippled man named Thomas Wallace, who was injured in a Rock Island mine by the premature explosion of a blast. Both eyes were totally blinded, fingers on both hands were mutilated and he was otherwise crippled for life. David Overmyer and Ed McKeever were the lawyers at the previous trial of the case. They had an ideal jury and got a judgment in excess of $20,0u0. Judge Thompson, however, set the judg ment jside and granted the corporation a retrial of the case. When this was donellr. Overnayer arose with great dignity said to the court. "Never mind, your honor, about giving the reasons for your ruling, I think I know the reason. I have $60, 000 in judgments against railroad cor porations that are standing in just the shape this judgment is in." Mr. Over myer was too good a lawyer to venture outside the lines of court decorum, but he carried the point he wished to convey with extreme directness. By the judge's ruling the unfortunate crippled client has had his just claim delayed over a year. David Overmyer, owing to his political dates, will not be able to try the case, so his legal associate, Mr. Isenhart, will take liis place. Judge Thompson is one of the Kansas judges who ride on a pass. While Mr. McKeever did not wish to say anything about it for fear of injuring his case, it is safe to assume that they would go be fore the bar of justice with more conti--deuce of securing equitable relief for their client, did not the judge of that court carry a Kock Islaud pass in his pocket. David Overmyer does not ride on a pass, and his friends say that his ideas on the subject of passes in high places of trust are in thorough accord with those of J. G. Waters. Mr. Overmyer does not use a. pass, but not because he cannot get one. A friend of his a short time ago asked his iurluence in ai ling him to get free transportation, Mr. Over myer replied. "I wouldn't ask them for a pass if I had to walk." NOT A MITE OF DIFFERENCE Has Yet Been Made in Topeka in Prices 15y the Turin" Bill. The new tariff law does not affect the prices of goods of any character which are purchased in Topeka. The tariff on manufactured woolen goods does not go into effect until January 1, and until then the effect of the new tariff law can not be exactly ascertained. The free wool schedule went into effect, however, as soon as the bill became a law, and raw wool is now admitted free of dutv. W. W. Mills, of W. W. Mills Sons, dealers in carpets, says: "Free wool has had no effect on the prices of carpets., Carpets are down, but they went down long before the tariff law was passed. 1 do not looK for a change in prices as a result of the new tariff. Wool sold this year in Michigan at 82 cents per pound, while the usual price is from 25 to 30. I have bought wool for $1 per pound. I do not see how wool can be any cheaper than it is now. The new law, as it relates to manufactured carpets, does not go into effect until January 1, but I do not ex pect that it will affect the prices. The old law put a duty of forty cents a square yard and 40 per cent ad valorem on most grades of carpets, and in the new law the specific duty is removed and the ad valorem alone remains." Mr. Stevenson, of Stevenson Co., dry goods, said: "There has been no change of prices as a result of free wool. We are paying just about the same for goods that we did before the law went into ef fect. I do not expect any change in prices either way as a result of the new tariff bill. I expect the prices to remain about what they are now." D. A. Clements, of Clements Chaffee, clothiers, said: "It doesn't make a bit of difference as far as I can see. Of course the tariff on clo'hing doe3 not go inr.o ef fect until January 1, and I can not tell what the effect will be, but I do not ex pect much change in prices. In buying sock9 now we get them for twenty-five cents a dozen less, but that is such a small reduction that it does not enable us to sell them any cheaper, so, as far as the consumer is concerned, there is no differ ence," Fl'SED IVIIII POITLISTS. Oklahoma Colored Voters Fuse With the Pops, so One From There Says. John Jones, the colored politician who used to be Governor Humphrey's messen ger, and was later city dog-tax collector, his a brother who is known ua "Met" Jones. His home is in Oklahoma, and Met is prominent in Republican caucuses in Kingfisher. Met is visiting in Tope ka for a few days, and he says a new de parture has been made in the fusion idea in his town. The colored people as a unit are going to fuse with the Populists because the Republicans "went back on them." "Bill" McKinley is a colored man who used to live in the Tennesseetown precinct of Topeka, but moved to Okla homa when it first opened. McKinley was a candidate for the nomination of register of deeds, and had been promised it before the convention, so Jones says. Bui in the convention the delegates who were pledged to McKinley gave their votes to a white man. Jones says the colored people have fused with the Pop ulists on their county ticket aid are going to beat the Republicans this fall just to teach them a lesson. Proof J- noecessiry. Mr. S. E. Payne of IXewton, has writ ten to this paper defending the pension record of Major E. X. Morrill and has forwarded two autograph letters written by Major Morrill while in congress prov ing that he was always the sincere friend of even the private soldier. It is entire ly unnecessary to izive space to these let ters as Major Morrill's pension record is so far above reproach that even his polit ical enemies dare not attack it.

LADY It Wjll Ii at the Cirixnd Saturday and Iond;ay ii;iits. The Topeka theater going people are looking forward with eager expectancy to the production of "Lady Windermere's Fan" at the Grand Saturday and Mon day niarhts. O-car Wilde seems to have reached the zenith 01 h;s well known literary taieut when he wrote this play. It is an English society comedy in i out acts and it is safe to say it is good or Gustave Frohman would nut have given it into the hands of one of his companies. It carries sucb people as L.iura Giiviary, who plays Lady Windermere, John Archer, who plays' Charlas Dumby aud Oiive Oliver, who does Mrs. Eslynue aud wears dresses that are described as mag nificent, in the role of the beautiful ad venturess. The advance sale will be open tomorrow. "Uloriana, auotner society drama, win be at the Grand Monday night and will be handled by another of Frohman's companies, "(jloriana nas oeen in to peka before. It was Here last winter ana gave good eatisfaction. Xice People but Poor Actors. The "Tornado" closed a two nights run. at the Grand to poor business last night. There is no doubt that Mr. Carter thor oughly understands putting a scenic show on the stage, but if he expects to hold his own with the public in the show business he must get at least a few actors to put into his casts. 1 he cast of the "Fast Mail" which was here last week, was with a few possible exceptions mediocre, but as compared with that of the "Tornado" it was superb. the theater going public demands a good show for its money these hard times and no man can expect to make a win ning success in the play business even through the benighted west if he per sists in using a lot of good scenery to hide a lot of poor actors. It does not require a very smart audi ence to see behind the curtain of an ama teur play. Allowing that the audiences were small and "cold" the piece could have been much better put on if the actors Understood their lines and did not spoil the "business." The comedy of the piece centers for more than half an hour about the wild west antic3 of a young man who is sea sick. For the lirst live minutes it's all right but twenty or thirty minutes of it is too much. If the corn crop in Kansas had not been a failure th'19 year the company might have been able to get better employ merit. It ia too bad that such nice peo ple, personally, are such poor actors. Jood Vaudeville at the Mnsee. The 10 cent show at the Musee last night waa a great deal better than the 1 show at the Grand. The audience was not a large one, but it was a delight ed one. Mclutyre cte Fitzgerald have a very clever vaudeville company of eight people, evenly balanced as regards sex. Fitzgerald and Miss Lewis, his wife, are well up in character work. Mcln tyre and wife, Miss Rice, do a pleasant little comedy sketch, and O'Rourke and Miss Bennett, to whom he is married, are good in their song and dance. Little Inez Pearl, who is only 15 years old, is a good dancer. The show closes with an hour of the English drama called "The Bag of Gold." The company was given their parts in this piece on the train yesterday morning, had one rehearsal yesterday afternoon and gave a good rendition of the piece last night without a visible hitch. It is not a high clasi show, but it pleases, and will finish the week here. On Sunday night Dr. Alexander Hume and Kate Fox will give a spiritualistic entertainment at the musee. WILY THE LA XI) SUNK. The Phenomenon In Southern ivanfcaa Fxplained by "V. F. File. To tlie Kditor of the State Journal: Permit me to offer a brief explanation of the land sinking spoken of in the press dispatches a few days ago. 1 he occurrence is not unusual in the part of Kansas where these sinks took place, aud it will be Been that they are not of such extent as to produce alarm. The reason of the siukiug of the sur face is th.it the sand forming its founda tion bas been eroded by the water. Tne sand pockets are numerous, and some times fifty or sixty feet iu diameter, thju2h generally smaller. Tho surface with its grass roots, soil aau hard pan, 1 remains intact until some unusual pres- j sure comes upon it, when it gives way. j An instance of this kind may be cited, j i (a 7 1 yVV 4, J f. y 1 w GllQO! i m I u mm 0 of 5 A cur v I V Ouildtr. Second Floor. Mr. Phinice of Marion county, some years ago, while looking after his cattle on horseback, was precipitated to the bottom of a pit twelve or fif teen feet deep. There was not the slight est indication that the ground was not as firm as any. There was a tremor then the great circular piece of earth sunk carryin jt horse and rider with it until it rested at the bottom. When the cloud of dust cleared away he found himself a prisoner. He was not long in scrambling to the service aud two or three hours work cut a ditch for the pas sage of the horse. The pits formed, rarely fill with water or contain water at all, as the presence of so much sand absorbs it- The dry season has something to do with the sinks no doubt, as then the water seeks the lower levels und of course the sand too, whereas if the upper levels remain ed full of water the body of sand would remain understurbed, to a greater degree at least. W. F. File. SEEK A NEW ORGANIST. The First Preubvterlan Church in Need of One Church Orowth. The First Presbyterian church mana gers are now trying to secure an organ ist to succeed Mr. II. S. Wilder, who re cently resigned, and to make other ar rangements for music for the coming writer season. The First Presbyterian church now has 9")0 members. Since He v. S. B. Alderson became pas tor of the church, two years and a half ago, over 300 new members have been added aud the present outlook is most encouraging. During the last two years 3.000 has been paid on the church debt, which has, on account of the pressing financial condition, embarrassed some of the church departments to some extent but this embarrassment is now being overcome. Hev. Mr. Alderson will attend the meeting of the Topeka Presbytery at Wampgo, October 2, and will go on to Salina to the meeting of the synod of Kansas October 4. ile will be away a week.

A liquor case from Silver Lake is oc cupying the time of the district court today. The defendant is Charles Oliver who is charged with selling whisky at 60 aud 75 cnts a pint, according to tho size of the pint The city marshal is the complaining witness against him. The fact that Tecumseh is spelled "Tecomseh" on the new court house cornerstone has created a great deal of criticism. In order to avoid ridicule In the future, the letter "o" should be changed, for it is easier to do that than have the spelling of tho town changed by an enactment of the legislature. J.
