A Long and Pleasant Chat With the Harrises. They Wish to Talk Little About Their Trouble. WILL FIG II T TI1E SUIT. Colonel Harris Is Sure Vindication. of a Another Reporter Interviews Bernard Murray. One of the most beautiful if, indeed, not the most beautiful home in Kansas, ia Linwood Farm, situated on the main line of the Union Pacific railroad, twenty seven miles west of Kansas City. As I walked up the delightful country road from the little station that took its name from Linwood Farm, on Monday afternoon, I remembered the line, "I'd rather live in Arcadia than any other land." On a gently rising eminence nearly a quarter of a mils from the main road, stands the handsome country home of CoL W. A. Harris, with its sloping lawns of blue grass. Half-way between it and the road is the house where lives the herder of Col. "W. A. Harris' famous imported short horns, which are grazing near by, and which lift their eyes, almost human in intelligence, half startled at first, but re sume their -occupation of cropping the grass when satisfied that I'm a friend. I reflect that the dog, about such a well kept place, is never savage, so I walk boldly up and rap on the front door. The girl ushers me into a cool, dark parlor; a large room as rooms go in Kan sas, suggestive of the owner's southern home, where most rooms would take in an ordinary house built to rent. 1 have waited but a moment, when a pleasant faced, plump little lady, a little less than mediam height, enters and bids me welcome. Mrs. Harris looks about 30, but is prob ably a little more than that. Since later in my visit Bhe refers to her Belf as a red haired woman, I suppose I may say she has red hair. It is not the very dark red, nor the very bright red; if it were blonde, it would be drab blonde, but it is undeniably red, and very pretty; luxuriant, glossy, well kept, and smooth ly brushed back from the gleaming white part into a' "figure 8" coil on the crown of its owners shapely head. Her eyes attract me most. They are amber colored, as if the golden Kansas sunlight had long been reflected from their depths. They look at me frankly, and in stinctively, as one woman to another, we Are friends, Mrs. Harris wears a house-gown with S little' longer waist than the style known as the Josephine. It is of the shade known as old blue, snd the fabric is creponette: the trim ming of cream lace and delicate old rose jilk. Though plump, the fingers of the white hand, which toy with the bow on her gown, are long and graceful, and the beautifully shaped nails add to the re markable beauty of that rare though much to be coveted possession, a pretty hand. So much do I admire Mrs. Harris' hands that X fear she will notice me taring at them all the afternoon. For an hour or two we t.dk of every thing Kansas, Topeka, Lawrence, Pitts burg, Pennsylvania, where she was born, "Washington, where she first went to live after she was married to Mr, Harris, last February. I am Mrs. Harris' first offense in the line of an interviewer, and I am a little chary of broaching the subject which lies nearest my heart or rather nearest the heart of the assignment which brought me here and makes me feel like an intruder. So we talk on. Bhe says she has not been In Topeka for some time. The last time she attended a reception at the home of Mrs. Frank Wear. Bhe also knew Mrs. Updyke, whose husband laid out Potwin, over the beauty of which Topeka suburb Mrs. Harris is quite enthusiastic. Then she speaks of Mr. A. A. Robinson and his daughter Meta, whom she once knew quite welL A"t last I muster up the courage to say to her that no doubt she will excuse me if I ask what she, or rather her husband, will do regarding the damage suit brought against him by her first hus band, Bernard Murray of Lawrence, bhe Said "Mr. Harris went to Lawrence to day; he will be home at 4 o'clock, and perhaps he will tell you." A troubled look had crept into the clear eyes, and they are dimmed for a moment, as their owner fingers now, in stead of the bow on her dress, the border pt her handkerchief; but they do not falter, as witn a catch in her always well modulated voice, Mrs. Harris says: "Now that you have spoken of it, I may say that we feel this is a great misfortune for us, and we all regret it most sincerelv. But it Is so plainly attempted revenge or Eiacaman, or com, taai we snail fight it, and shall win, of course. "Mr. Murray is not the sort of man who would ever nave permitted the things he charges against me in his damage suit. He was habitually intoxi cated as charged in my suit for divorce, which he never contested, but which I withdrew once at his promise to do better. "Lawrence people know in part what I suffered at his hands, though I always hid as much as possible. I only eued for divorce after he had repeatedly gone away on his periodical sprees and left me, unprovided for, and with no knowl edge of his whereabouts, or the time of his return. "But this has all been public knowl edge a long time, and the trial of the suit, which he has offered to compromise for a trifling sum, will bring it all out." Mrs. Harris talks about her trouble with a sob in her voice. Then she goes out toy order the supper, and some one 'on the front lawn shouts "papa is coming." She meets her husband at the front gate and as I hear the greeting I feel that just now, this Eden has a serpent, slander. I do not hear what she says to him as they come un the walk, but I do hear him say, "I will not talk about that," and then 1 know. I have a prejudice to over come at once, and am prepared for the rather .reserved greeting, which this usu ally most cordial of men gives me. We sit down and Colonel Harris says "sometimes you newspaper people are intruders, sometimes you are not; you will find that I recognize no sex in this matter, and shall refuse to talk to you on the subject," and a stern look crept into his grey eyes, and about the corners of his firm mouth, which is now shielded only by a grey mustache instead of the beard CoL Harris used to wear. As he talks. he is opening his mail and hands me a marked paper. The paper is the Clay Center Dispatch, and the paragraph marked says that the damage suit brought against Col. Harris is plain ly a political scheme as well as a desire for revenge, but most of all is intended to bleed him, and that it will fail of its purpose to.injure him; being brought as it was by a drunken sot against a re eneotable and- honorable ireDtleman. It will not hurt him with respectable peo ple. "I hope," said Col. Harris, "that the latter part of the paragraph is true." "Regarding the first part, which refers to this being a political scheme to hurt me in that way, as a Kansan who is proud of Kansas and of her representative men, be they of whatever pany, I should hate to believe that any of them could stoop to anything so low as connivance at an affair of this kind." i could not but admire the very noble ness wnicn prompted tnis sentiment, coming so quickly, so spontaneously, so evidently from the heart. I He continued, "there are things of which men do not talk, this is one of them; if I am permitted to fight this suit, and I will be, vindication will be certain." Dinner was announced, and I was no longer' the newspaper interviewer, but the honored guest of a southern gentle man.' Not the Kentucky colonel given us in an exaggerated form by the novel and the stage today, bur an educated and refined, cultivated Virginian, at once the most hospitable and entertaining of men. As we -discussed the fresh milk, the home-grown vegetables, the peaches and cream and other good things, Col, Harris said, "if you like we will introduce you to the shorthorns and the blue grass, of both of which we are justly proud. I believe you can appreciate my fondness for blue grass, having come from that kind of a country yourself- If- I have never done anything else for Kansas I may be called a benefactor in that I've perhaps sown more blue grass in the state than any other man has. "I'm in favor of erecting a monument to Mr. Ingalls if for no other reason, be cause of that classic of his about blue grass. I keep a copy of it handy all the time, and when I read it over my pride in my seven hundred and fifty acres of blue grass grows stronger." Then we all went out into 'the front porch and enjoyed the scenery, while Col. Harris told me how he found his beautiful home twenty-five years ago, before the Datawares vacated the site. He was surveying for the railroad com pany, being a civil engineer by profes sion, when he saw the place and made up his mind to secure it from the company, which was then, negotiating for it, with the Indians. "So you see," he said, "I am the im mediate successor of the noble red man." CoL Harris' daughters were expected home from Fort Worth, Texas, so I did not see them. Beside himself and wife I met but one other member of his in teresting family, his bright son Master Craig Harris, who, unlike most boys of twelve, thinks his home preferable to one in the city. When Mrs. Harris goes into the house for her hat to accompany me on my way to the station, 1 again refer to the dam age suit, and CoL Harris says: "Of course this is most mortifying tome and my family, but, as 1 said before, it is only the attempt of a besotted and depraved man to persecute and perhaps be re venged upon a woman who, as his wife, he grosslv neglected and mistreated for Tears. I shall fight it of course, and will win." "Have you been to Lawrence to see anyone about this! 'lou know -Frank Webster recently published in the Lawrence Gazette the opinions of different people on the sub ject" Mrs. Harris joins us again, and we walk down through the pasture and meet the herd. Calves and all are named, and such pretty names as Fairy Queen, Queen of Hearts, Lavender, Lochiel, Lochinvar and Sir Galahad, who is lead er of the herd. Here is a beautiful heifer called Lav ender the Eleventh. They are all Short horns and CoL Harris imports them him self from Scotland. I am fain to linger, but trains do not wait, and I try to thank my kind host and hostess for their genial hospitality, as I say good-bye. Colonel Harris graciously says: "We, too, have enjoyed your visit and are glad it has cot been the bore such things so often are." As the train leaves the station I strain my eyes for a last glimpse of Linwood farm, with The meadows and the lowing herds, the swaths of new mown hay.. And the wafted air from forest.sweet as breezes of Cathay; Then look, down at the fragrant bou quet of mignonette, verbenas and gera nium leaves which Mrs. Harris has gath ered for me and tears creep into my eyes TOPEKA, KANSAS, that slander should have pushed its hide ous form into the life of this woman so evidently reared amid refined surroundings, but who has not had a home for years until now, and who is so plainly happy in this most desirable one. Following this thought comes an in spiring memory of CoL Harris' dignified avowal of his pride and faith in the honor of Kansas' representative men; his reit eration of that sentiment when I referred to it later, and I can but feel that were all men like him, his trust in their hon esty of purpose might be more fully shared in. Becky Sharp. A VISIT TO BERNARD MURRAY. He Conniders Himsrlf a Much Injured Uaa Something; Abjut Him. Bernard Murray, the man who has brought a $20,000 damage suit against ex-Congressman W. A. Harris, has never done anything else to distinguish him self. He has been contented if he made a living, and is willing to let the world wag as it will. Murray ia best known to the traveling public, for he has been a proprietor of hotels all his life. Those who have not met him when he presided at the table of tnat ancient hostelry, the Eldridge house at Lawrence, have met him during his brief experience in the hotel business in Kansas City or in Canon City, Colorado, where the tourist ate trout from his table and enjoyed the mountain air. If you imagine a man of medium stat ure, with gray hair, blue eyes, a weak chin but a pleasant intelligent counten ance covered with a short beard and dressed very plainly you have Bernard Murray and you would at once conclude that he is not the man to create much of a stir in the world or in society. Approach him as a Journal reporter did recently in the Eldridge house at Lawrence and if you are a stranger he will greet you with a rather suspicious re served air. He has seen considerable of the world and he is not inclined to put a great deal of trust in strangers. If you talk with him awhile you will discover that there is a subject which weighs very heavily on bis mind and any reference to it will bring a cloud on his countenance, his voice will quaver and he will try to change the Bubjact, or if you persist in following that tiiread he will refuse to talk. That subject is his wife s divorce and her subsequent mar riage to ex-Congressman Harris. It would be a. very cruel man indeed who would pursue a subject fraught with so many painful recollections and so it is that very few try a second time to talk to Mur ray about his trouble or his damage suit. He says he is 50 years old, but in appear ance he is 7.). In conversation with the Journal re porter Mr. Murray said he went to Colo rado in the seventies. It was not until 1832 that he moved to Lawrence and took charge of the EJdridge house. He stayed in Lawrence until 1888, when he returned to Colorado with his wife. Now. don't ask me about xnv case." said he. "I do not want to talk about it. My petition is on file in the court at To peka, and it speaks for itself. There is nothing else, and if any one is to talk about my case, it must be my lawyers. I will refer you to them. You know I have three, one in Topeka, one in Law rence, and another in Denver. They have my case and will have to attend to it." It has been reported that this suit was brought to prevent Mr. Harris from becoming a candidate for governor, and for political reasons," suggested the re porter. 'res I have heard that," replied Mur ray, lowering his voice." But there is nothing in the report. This suit is be tween myaelf and Mr. Harris, and no one else has a single thing to do with it. It is not brought to frighten him, nor in jure him, and I shall press it to the end. Harris has done me a terrible wrong more than I could tell, and whatever I could get would not repay me for what I have suffered. My home and family have been broken up, when I trusted the man as much as any one could." These words he repeated twice again during the conversation. "You say that you were damaged fi nancially?" "Yes, I have been, but I must refer you to my petition or my attornevs for anything about the case. Now please talk to me about Colorado or anything else, but I cannot talk about this matter. I do not want to appear rude, but I must refuse to talk. Then he did talk about Colorado for at least an hour. The beauties of the moun tains, the vigor of the climate, the growth of the state, and lastly about politics. Mr. Murray is a Republican, "but," said he, "the Populists got away with us in our county. They were stronger than people gave them credit for." If there was a subject on which Mur ray could not talk it was not broached in the conversation and his language wxs alwavs good, his points clear and indi cating intelligence. Once when the reporter asked if he liked Colorado better than Kansas, Mr. Murray said: "Yes, I d Would to God I had never come to this state. It has been a costly experiment to me. I am going home in a day or two and I shall not return until my case comes up which is in Novem ber, i now nave no business but 1 own considerable property in Canon City and I will have to see to that. I suppose I will go into the hotel business again some time but i d.3 not know now that I wilL" it is said that JUr. Murray is not in good circumstances, and it came from the best of authority that he borrowed money to commence bis suit agaiast Mr. Harris. As far as the suit is concerned, the public will hear nothing more of it until it is called for trial next November, and it is extremely unlikely that it will be heard then, for one side or the other is almost sure to ask for a continuance, though Murray says he will be ready for trial. Consul Poarey Very melt. New York, July 11. A special to the World from Colon, Columbia, says: The United States consulate here has been closed since Monday. Consul Pearey being confined to his bed by an attack of fever, there is no one to act in his ab sence. He is reported to be very ilL Trial or the Defender Postponed. Bristol, R. L, July 11.

Nine Thousand Assemble in Big Tent Endeavor. BOSTON'S WELCOME. Rev. Mr. Kneeland Calls C. E. 'tj6d's High Geared Bicycle." There Are Over Two Million Members in the Society. Boston, July 11. The big convention of all the Christian Endeavor societies in the United States began here today. Over 9.0U0 enthusiastic Endeavorers crowded the Tent Endeavor. Crimson and white streamers waved all over the tent, the bunting being draped from the great center pole of the tent. Flags and colors of all nations inter spersed the streamers and added va riety to the grand scene. High above all the fiags of the United Kingdom of Great Britain aud the stars and stripes floated. Upon the platform at the ex treme end the grand chorus of 51)0 and the speakers and prominent members of the society were seated. Before the time for the opening of the service arrived the chorus and delegates spontaneously started an' Endeavor hymn. Giber songs followed and the music was almost, continuous until the Rev. J. T. Backley, D D, of New York, opened the meeting according to the programme by announcing tne first hymn, "Onward, Christian Soldiers." The hymn of welcome, written for the occasion by Dr. S. F. Smith, the author of "America," -was sung aud then Mr. Uecicley addressed A. J. Uorcnett, presi dent of the Boston local union, who wel comed the delegates in behalf of the En deavorers 'f Boston. The welcome of the city pastors was extended by Rev. M. D. Kneeland, 1). D., of Boston, who said: 'It was the Christian Endeavor society in Kansas that Helped put legislation upon the statute booics which struck gambling and lotteries a deadly blow in that state: a Christian Endeavorer draft ing the bill in the exact form in which it was passed. Yes, we can never forget that it was a Christian Endeavorer in Troy, in the person of Robert Ross, who gave his life to protect the ballot box, and when that young martyr fell in this holy cause, tens of thousands of young men had a new impulse to do their duties as patriots at any cost. "And this leads me to say that we will welcome you to our city just at this time in our history because you all stand for 'good citizenship.' We believe in God in politics, and tnat allegiance to God and patriotism are synonymous. "Wi it not a young ladv who was a Christian Endeavorer that said: "If we cannot have a vote, we can have a voter." The women are recognizing their respon sibilities for good government and much of the success of reform movements in Brooklyn and New York is due to their efiScient'serrice. "At last the world has come to the hub." You are all spokes of the hub to day, fifty or sixty thousand spokes. Quite a wheel that! Its buzzing, whizzing, singing era heard around the globe. "Christian Endeavor is God s high gear bicycle by means or which he is girdling the world with righteousness. Boston is certainly the hub ot this wheel because this is the center and in the Portland suburb of greater Boston the first Christian Endeavor cradle was rocked. That baby has proved to be, in fourteen years, a very Medusa, since every hair of its head is today a Christian Endeavor society. All honor to that man of a magnificent idea which God in breathed, and has so signally blessed, Father Endeavor Clark." In behalf of the state of Massachusetts Lieutenant Governor Wolcott then wel comed the delegates and Rev. J. IL Bar rows, D. D., of Chicago, responded to the welcome of Massachusetts and Boston in behalf of the society and the delegates. The Rev. J. R. Cheesman of Cleveland, Ohio, read the annual report of the sec retary, John Willis Baer of Boston, The session then adjourned. The total membership of the society is placed at 2,473,740, and there are 41,229 societies. During the year there have been formed 7,750 new societies, the largest number for any one year since the Christian Endeavor movement was inaugurated 14 years ago. Pennsylvania still leads with 4,139 societies; New York next with 3,882. In all there are 9,122 junior societies, with a total membership of 340,000. Pennsylvania also leads with 1,023, and New York is second with 920. At the meeting in the Mechanics building hundreds were unable to gain admission to the audience, which held 10,000 people. The stage portion re served for the speakers was occupied by one section of the chorus of nearly 1,000 voices. The advent of President Clark, the founder and leader of the Christian En deavor meeting, was a signal for the out burst of tremendous applause, which continued for several minutes. At the close of his address Gov. Green halge was escorted to the stage. The aud ience greeted him with the Chauiuuqua salute, thousands of handkerchiefs being waved from all parts of the hall s he took his seat. He was introduced and welcomed the delegates to Massachu setts. A Clark Co. llnrier Case. An appeal in a sensational murder case from Clark county was filed iu the su preme court this afternoon. January 29 1 last Sidney J. Jackman was shot twice and killed by Frank J. Ernest.

Atlantic City, N. J., July 11. No deaths have yet resulted from last night's disaster at the Baltic avenue Casino, al though in other respects the details of the occurrence have not been' exaggerated. A conservative estimate places the num ber of wounded at close to 200. Of these the only one in immediate danger of death is Frederick Clapproth of Jen nings' Bank, Camden, N. J. Among those injured who were taken to the United States hotel were C. M. Foote of Minneapolis, collar bone and arm broken; C. R. Lombard, Boston, feet mashed and arm fractured; J. R.

Gives the Ground fur a High School in Memory of Senator Plumb. Emporia, Kan July 11. Mrs. P. B. Plumb has offered to donate the half block north of Major Hood's home to the school district if the board would erect upon the lots a high school building in memory of the late Senator Plumb. -The building is to cost somewhere be tween $30,000 and $5O,O0l) and is to be used entirely for high school purposes, upon the ground, and that the place 1t kept up as a park, trimmed and beau'-t-fied as carefully as private grounds. This proposition has been talked ovm with a number of leading citizens of Em- poria for the past week, and seems to meet with universal approbation. Major Hood wou.d be most seriously affecied by the proposed building, if it should happen to be undesirable. Be fore the plan was thoroughly understood Major Hood, thinking it was to be a ward school, and fearing that- the children might destroy his beautiful landscape gardening, very naturally opposed the idea. But this morning he said to a re porter: "Since I hive seen Mrs. Plumb, and have heard the plan as outlined by him, to put up a handsome building to be I used exclusively for high school pur poses, and to keep the grounds. for a park, vou may say that I heartily favor' the plan."

M 3 DOWH WITHfi CRASH One Thousand Persons Buried in a Collapsed Building. The Casino at Atlantic City, N. JM Falls Down. 100 PERSONS HURT. The Building Was Filled With Visiting Elks. Atlantic Citt, N. J., July 11. The social session tendered by Atlantic City lodge to the visiting1 Elks at the Baltic avenue casino last evening ended in. a terrible disaster, in which fully 100 persons were more or less seriously injured. The session had just opened and only one of the speakers had been heard when without the slightest warning the "building, which has not teen used for several years, collapsed and fully 1,000 persons were thrown to the floor beneath. Many women, the wives of the visiting Elks, went down in the ruins. Fully 200 persons who were on the first floor of the building, and immediately beneath the banquet hall, were crushed beneath the timbers and lay helpless. The fact that all the electric lights in the building went out at the time the building gave way added to the confusion. An alarm was immediately turned in and the city's force of 200 firemen, and every police officer in the city were called to the scene as a hos pital corps. The police ambulance and carriages of every description were utilized to convey the injured to the hospital, and to their hotels. Within a few minutes the police suc ceeded in clearing the space in the im mediate neighborhood of the building and placed ropes around to keep the crowd back. In the meantime the firemen had set to work to extricate the wounded from beneath the mass of timbers, and they were aided in their work by the hotel keepers and resi dents near the scene. Every house was thrown open for the reception of the injured and every available con veyance was pressed into Bervice to carry them to their hotels. Meanwhile the physicians were on the scene and were doing everything in their power to aid the unfortunates who had been caught in the crash. As quickly as the unconscious forms of the wounded were taken out, willing hands bore them to the nearest place, and everything that surgical skill could do to alleviate their sufferings was done. The first victim to succumb to his in juries was Frederick Claproth of 846 Kimer street, Camden. He died shortly after midnight at a hotel to which he had been conveyed. Claproth had been in the crowd on the lower floor of the building when the crash came. He was caught and pinioned down under a mass of timbers, and when, after great difficulty, the police suc ceeded in extracting his body, it was found that both his legs and arms had been broken. He never regained con sciousness, it is now feared otner deaths will result, and it is a matter of wonder that more persons who were on the under floor were not killed outright. MISSOURI MINES. Official State Report of Lead and Zinc Resources Just Published. Jefferson Citt, Mo., July 11. Dr. Charles R. Keyes, director of the Mis souri geological survey, has just is sued from the office of the bureau of geology and mines an exhaustive re port on the lead and zinc resources of the state by Messrs. A. Winslow and J. D. Bobertson. The work is in two large volumes, aggregating some 800 pages, and is amply illustrated. From it it is learned that the metals lead and zinc form Missouri's most promi nent mineral products. The real im portance of these metals is further comprehended when it is known that as a producer of the first named ore the state ranks second among the states of the Union, and of the second metal, first, supplying more than two fifths of the entire amount of mineral in the United States.

Boston, July 1L The most im portant proceedings in connection with, the fourteenth annual convention of the Young People's Society of Christ ian Endeavor, which formally opened at 9:30 a. m. to-day, was the meeting of the trustees of the organization at noon yesterday. The session lasted all the afternoon, with a brief intermis sion for lunch. The chief business to be considered was the offer of H. H. Kolhsaat of the Chicago Times-Herald, who agreed to pay $5,000 a year for three years to wards the maintenance of the so ciety's headquarters on condition that they be removed from Boston to Chi cago. After a committee had passed adversely upon the subject and re ported, the report of the. the commit tee was unanimously accepted, and the headquarters will not be removed from Boston at present. Besides the routine business and the consideration of the question of re moval to Chicago the only matter of general interest was the presentation of the claims of Los Angeles, Cal., for the convention of 1897. To-day the claims of Portland, Ore. San Francisco and Seattle will be pre sented and the matter taken under ad visement. At the reception headquarters at Me chanics' hall messengers are constantly bringing reports from the 1,000 white capped Endeavorers who are at the railroad stations and boat landings, giving aid and directions to the dele gates who are coming in from all parts of the country. The San Francisco delegation num bered only ten persons, although it was expected to comprise 100. THE EDUCATORS. Many Papers Read at the Opening; of the If. E. A. Convention. Denver, Col., July 11. The subject of papers read yesterday morning at j tne national .educational association was "Co-ordination of Studies Elemen tary Education."

After music by the Euterpe quartette the convention adjourned and the members of the association attended a reception by the state officers at the capitol. BASEBALL SCORES. Western League.

Officials at the state department and about the treasury department, who should be in a position to know, have no knowl edge of any tender by the Russian government to the United States of gold to make good the gold reserve, as is reported to have been made about two years ago. They say that if any uch offer was made it must have been in an informal manner, but from the fact that the Russian government has itself been obliged to negotiate a gold loan since that time, they are inclined to believe that no such proposition was made.

The well-organized forces of General Fran cis Marion Drake of Centerville achieved a signal victory in the Repub lican state convention when he was nominated for governor on the sixth ballot, after one of the most warmly contested ante-convention campaigns ever witnessed in Iowa. After prolonged cheering, balloting for lieutenant governor was com menced.

In rapid succession Henry Sabin was renomi nated for superintendent of public in struction; George W. Perkins for rail road commissioner and Josiah Given for judge of the supreme court. The resolutions, among other things, deplore the revocation of reciprocity, denounce tariff for revenue only and declare for American wages. On cur rency the platform says: "We affirm the declarations of the Republican na tional platform of 1892, adopted at Minneapolis, 'that the American peo ple from tradition and interest, favor bimetalism, and the Republican party demands the use of both gold and silver as standard money with such restrictions and under such provisions to be determined by legislation as will secure the mainte nance of the parity of the value of the two metals, that the purchasing and debt paying power of the dollar, whether of silver, gold or paper, shall be at all times equal. The interest of the producers of the country, its farmers and the workingmen demands that every dollar, paper or coin, is sued by the government, shall be as good as any other. a ALDERMEN IN A TRAP.

Corbett and Fitzgimmons Will Combat in a Stupendous Structure. Dallas, Texas, July 11. A diagram of the great Corbett-Fitzsimmons building was displayed at Dan Stuart's office in the Astor building yesterday morning. It showed an octagon struc ture covering 400 feet of ground or nearly four acres.

The prize ring is in the ex act center and will be forty feet square, elevated four feet from the ground. The 652 seats reserved for the pre-s will be next around the ring. From thence there is a sharp ascent toward the clouds, dizzy with marks and squares and pierced with aisles. As enormous as the capacity is, it is confidently expected that every seat will be taken.

They were rescued from their perilous positions six hours later by men in boats. N o estimate of loss and damage can be made till the waters recede, but it will be very great. Loss of life has so far been averted. Ihe outlook to-night is gloomy and the danger menacing. MISSOURI SILYERITES. The Democratic State Committee to Con sider the Question.

The committee appointed by Gov. Mor rill to investigate the condition of the bonds held by the state and purchased by the school fund commissioners for the past years and years, began its session today at representative hall. Its purpose is to sort out the bonds and see what of them are delinquent and make an esti mate of the value of them all. This will take several days. The committee consists of Senators Brown, Dillard and Carpenter and Rep resentative Hopkins, Tucker. Fitzgerald, Hilton and Funk. Dillard and Carpen ter are not present. The clerks in the office of Superinten dent of Instruction Stanley have just completed the report of bond purchases that the new board has made from Jan uary 14 to July 1, and it appears to re flect credit on its sagacity. The amount of bonds purchased was $202,400. The assessed valuation of the property on which these bonds were is sued is $29,933, 78a The limit allowed at an average of about 6 per cent is $2,461,714 The total indebtedness against this property is $1,103,104. It will be seen by these figures that the amount of the purchases is but 7 per cent of the valuation; the total indebted ness is less than 4 per cent of the valua tion and less than half of the limit al lowed. The board is proud of these purchases. CONTRACTS LET. By the Stats Penitentiary Board For Flour and Groceries. The stato penitentiary board let sev eral important contracts at its last meet ing. J.

Find Fault With Appearance of Their Jerseys. TO RETURN IX 1896. Cornell Will Take Two Crews Over Next Year. Grand Challenge Cup Won by New College, Oxford. Henley-on-Thames, July 11. In the final heat for the grand Challenge cup the Trinity Hall Cambridge Rowing club crew, which defeated Cornell yesterday, beat the New College Oxford Boat club crew and thus captured the trophy rep resenting the blue ribbon of aquatics. London. July 11. The Pall Mall Ga zette this afternoon commenting on the Cornell crew says: The Americans failed to enter into the spirit of the Henley regatta, which calia upon competitors as well as visi tors to dress cleanly and tidily as pos sible. The 'Varsity and other English crews make a point of: rowing in new jerseys with colors unstained by rain or pre8piration. It is not too much to say that such a dirty looking crew as Cornell never competed in the regatta within the memory of most of its frequenters. "They wore a large red 'C" em broidered on the front of their jer seys and in every case the color of this letter had run several inches. We hope that they will get a turnout if they row in the coming metro politan regatta. I he lilobe tnis afternoon remarks: "it is much to be regretted that the visit of the Cornell crew, instead of promoting good fellowship between English and American athletes, has struck only a jarring note in the otherwise har monious rivalry of nations at Henley. We cannot help thinking that the Ameri can oarsmen have been somewhat harsh ly judged for standing upon their rights. At any rate it would have been more gracious to abstain from hostile com ments in view of the decision of the com mittee." The St James Gazette expresses the opinion that "there is a good deal of un reasonable prejudice against Cornell, and if they had won the Grand there might have been unpleasantness. The best possible thing which could occur was that Cornell Bhould be fairly beaten by Trinity. After all, the most impor tant thing was that our American cousins should have a fair race with an English crew." The trustees of Cornell university, who are now here have decided to bring two crews to Henley in 1896. Secretary Cooper of the regatta committee heartily approves of the position and offers the Cornell men every inducement and facil ity.

Wheat has been on the jump all day. The bears succeeded in opening it off cent, but the continuous wave of buying orders from the country started it on the run, and forced bears who had sold on the opening to cover. Foreign cables came stronger, and export demand is increasing very rapidly. We look for higher prices right aloug now that there has beeu so many weak holders had to let go, and as we said a few days ago, wheat has passed into very strong hands, who will send it to higher prices than we have yet seen. Corn and Oats Corn has been very strong all day, advancing about lc. Reports from Sioux City, la, said there had been a killing frost there last night, which formed a thick ice. With a small amount ot corn in store, and the excellent export de mand, we look for a very rapid advance in corn. Oats have been strong all day. and ad vancing almost a cent We look for higher prices on corn and oats for some time to come. Provisions opened strong and have ruled firm all day. closing at an advance of lo cents over yesterday. We look lor much higher prices in pork, as the run of hogs is steadily growing lighter.

STATE JOURNAL, THURSDAY EVENING- JULY 11, 1895. The State Journal CSclal Paper of ths City of Topeka. Bt Fbhts P. MacLmsik, TE23I3 0? SUSSJSIPTISIT. Sally edition, deliverai ty carrier, 19 seats a week to any part of Topska or suburbs, er at the came price in any Eansas tows where this paper has a oar rier system. By mail, three souths ........I .153 By mail, one year 3.C3 Weekly Edition, per year .53 Weather Indications, Chicago, July 11. For Kansas: Generally fair and warmer tonight and Friday; variable winds. Of course Cleveland and Carlisle would not borrow money eo kindly of fered by Czar Alexander at 2 per cent. There was nothing in it for them. People who steal generally say they did it in a "weak moment." Unfortu nately this plea doesn't keep them out of the jails and penitentiaries. It is to be hoped our esteemed morning contempo rary will take warning in time. With McKinley saying that he will bolt if the Republican party declares for free silver atd Don Cameron and Sena tor Teller declaring thev will not vote the ticket if it doesn't, it looks as though there was a necessity for a getting to gether. Some good has already resulted from the free silver agitation. The treasury raiders have become so alarmed at its progress thai tney will scarcely dare to force another issue of bonds. They are afraid thejr might kill the goose that lays the golden egg. They have not only ceased to withdraw gold but they have permitted a return of prosperity which -if not checked, may get beyond easy con trol The Morning Purloiner and Prevari cator excuses its shortcomings by sayiDg "it did it in a weak moment" We sup pose that it was in a "weak moment" that it stole the Journal's Susan B. An thony interview, and another weak mo ment when it stole the Kansas City Star's report of the Goodland jubilee. If the Capital keeps on having "weak momenta" it will succeed in getting up quite a readable paper at the expense of its neighbors. It is related of the city of Sodom, in holy writ, that Jehovah was willing to spare it from destruction if ten righteous persons couid be found within its envi rons. As so many could not be found the city was doomed. Leavenworth seems to be even worse than Sodom since Gov ernor Morrill says be is unable to find three people in all the city who are will ing to undertake the enforcement of the prohibitory law. It is fortunate for Leavenworth that the days of direct dealing between the Almighty and his creatures are ended. There is a "progressive husband" party in progress in Topeka. When one woman gets tired of a man they are di vorced and he progresses on and another woman gets him. The prizes are all of the consolation kind and the game has been in progress for a number of years. Only three women have had the same husband twice in the game. Atchison Globe, These are the kind of lies about Tope ka that Topeka people resent. The Atchison Globe has contained more than a dozen whining editorials recently be cause the Topeka papers said that there was so much licentiousness in Atchison that women did not dare to go to prayer meeting at night. Yet it keeps up its untruthful attacks on Topeka. Now that Governor Morrill has started in to enforce the prohibitory law he should have the encouragement of every friend of law and order in the state. Whatever doubts he may have had re garding his ability to control the lawless element In the larger cities must have been dispelled by the success of his efforts in this direction in Atchison and Wichita. The result of hii course re garding these cities proves that the crim inal element ana their friends were merely indulging in a game of bluff, carried on with intent to deceive and frighten the executive. What has been accomplished in Atchison, Wichita and Ft Scott, can be accomplished in Leav enworth. In fact Col. Anthony has as good as said that if the saloons of the other cities of Kansas were closed and kept closed, the law might be enforced in Leavenworth. It will be greatly to the governor's credit if his administra tion shall go down in history as the first to enforce all the laws in every part of the state. He has now started right, and with a continuation of his present course and the endorsement of the better class of people, which is sure to be his, he will succeed But he must not let his grip on the law breakers loosen. THE STRAIGHT OF IT. The Atchison Globe is awfully mad at the Journal because it thinks the Journal's agitation is responsible for the closing of the joints at Atchison, con equently it belabors this paper about everything. The latest is our publica tion of the story about S. O. Thacher being first appointed chief justice and afterwards, David Martin's name being substituted. As the Journal recollects it, the original story came to light through CoL D. R. Anthony, of Leaven worth. CoL Anthony made the state ment several weeks ago, and the State Journal printed it at that time as a matter of news. A few days ago CoL Anthony pub lished the story again with more details. Again the State Joubsal published CoL .Anthony's statement, and if CoL Anthony or anybody else has any details about the affair to offer that have a news value the Journal will continue to pub lish them. We dp not know what the facts are in the case, but we are doing the best we can to find out. CoL Anthony says Judge Horton told him the story and Judge Horton says he didn't Corrobora tive evidence is now needed on CoL Anthony's side. KANSAS PARAGRAPHS.

Fair and frail, the favorite alike of king and people, Countess Du Barry caused commotion enough in her day in France, and now in this quiet year of our Lord, 1895, a pic ture showing her reclining on her couch is causing a renewed commotion in At lanta. The primary reason for the stir here is that the picture, a study of the nude,on exhibition in the Norcrosa build ing, one of Atlanta s principal omce buildings, and that the son of Hon. Jon athan .Norcross. who owns the building, is Rev. Virgil Norcross, who insists that it is a picture that will have a bud effect; in short, that it is immoral. I he picture is by the French artist, Francois Theve not, and was first exhibited in the Paris solon in 1882, where it was a prize win ner. It snows the countess, nude, re clining on her bed, apparently in deep thought. About the room are various articles of clothing, rich dresses, some silk stockings and a pair of dainty slip pers. It was yesterday that Rev. Virgil Nor- cross first saw the picture, and it shocked him so much that he immediately went down to see Chief of Police Connolly and brought him as the city connoisseur to .decide whether or not it was an immoral picture. Chief Connolly gazed at u long and earnestly, and then announced it as his solemn opinion that it was re markably beautiful and not at all im moral. This did not suit Rev. Mr. Norcross, however and he brought his father to look at it. After a long and careful view Hon. Jonathan Norcross decided with his son that it was a picture that was calcu lated to corrupt the morals of such a city as Atlanta, lie then endeavored to oust the owners of the picture, but they claimed a thirty days' clause in their contract with one of Dr. Norcross' bosses. The reverend gentleman is very wrathy and says he will invoke the aid of the courts. ALL IN SILTEll. Mr. Lease Gets 6lSO In Silver Dollars for Two Silver Speeches. When Mary Elizabeth Lease was in To peka recently she carried with her a hand bag contaimug loo nice shiny silver dol lars, and this, according to her own story, is how she happened to net them: On July 3 and i she delivered speeches before an encampment of old soldiers in South Dakota. Both of the speeches were to favor free silver, and at the con elusion of the last speech the committee in charge walked to the platform and counted out $150, all in silver dollars. The crowd cheered itself almost hoarse. and Mrs. Lease told the committee that they might bring her another car load of the same sort of stuff, But they didn't She brought the money home with her just as it was given.

The cannon at Burlington, Kan., which has done duty for many years to cele brate the Fourth and other occasions, Is no mora It blew up on the Fourth of July and expired in one loud explosive note of rejoicing. Fortunately the explosion injured no one, although Charles Fisher, who palled the lanyard, stood within two ieet or the gun when it occurred. The barrel was split right through the center from top to bottom and one of the side pieces broken in two, making three large pieces, one of which was hurled through the side of the calaboose. The carriage was completely wrecked. JSo cauae for the explosion can be given except that the gun was old and rusty and the men were using rifle powder instead of the coarse blasting powder generally used in such guns. Fifteen shots had been fired and it exploded on the sixteenth. A TOPEKA AUTHORESS. Mr. Mary Cornelia. Writing1 Her Third FublUhed Book. Mrs. Mary A.

To the Editor of the State Journal: In reading the resolutions adopted by the county central committee, I notice that they make the test of a man's Re publicanism the manner in which he voted last fall at the state election, only allowing those who voted the straight Re publican ticket or promise on oath to do so in the future to vote at the coming primaries.

A MATRIMONIAL TALE. The Drammer Tells a Story of a Unique Marriage. "When I was down at Squawville, Lnd., last week," said a commercial traveler at the Palmer House the other night, "I was fortunate enough to be Invited to a 'new' wedding, In which the groom was the son of one of my old customers. The whole affair was a surprise to me, and is yet the topio of the town and surrounding coun try. In fact, the people looked forward to the ceremony with the liveliest interest not only on account of the prominence of the couple, but because of the novelty of the event. I would not be surprised If the manner of conducting the festivity was widely imitated In this day of the new woman. "The bride was Georgians Bold and the groom Little Orr Nlll. The ceremony was at the house of the groom's parents on 1 ha street and was performed by the Rev. Hannah Pshaw, lecturer to the Soci ety of the Banished Nobility, a sort of so cial and religious organization the men of the town formed last winter. The Invited guests were not numerous, and their num ber was confined to the relatives of the contracting couple, though I saw but few of the bride's friends. The uninvited at tendants were as numerous almost as the residents of the county. "The fatal words were spoken at what was designated as 'low noon, In contra distinction, I suppose, to the 'high noon' observed elsewhere. The bride came alone to the house and was unattended through out the observance of the rite. The groom entered leaning on the arm of his mother and took his place at the left of the bride, under a floral design that looked to me like a life preserver. All the officiating clergyman's questions were addressed fh-ss to the bride and repeated to the groom, and I didn't hear the word 'obey' at all. At the ring point in the servico the bride produced the gold circlet and slipped it on the third finger of the blushing groom's left hand. There was no music nor any decorations except the life preserver, which appeared to be made of thorns and nettles. The wedding feast was dispensed with, the happy couple repairing at once after the ceremony to the new homo prepared by the bride a home without a kitchen, I understand. "Not the least entertaining part of the epeotacle was the dress feature. The groom wore a combination knickerbocker suit a silk waist of big plaids in violent colors, a blue crepon jacket, baggy trou sers to the knoe, also of crepon black silk stockings, and a yellow silk sash. He was bareheaded, had his hair parted in the middle and had a jack rose tucked in just above his left ear. He carried a bouquet also. The bride, who, by the way, had been a veterinary in that section of coun try for the last 20 years, wore an out and out bicycle suit of gray mixed Scotch stuff and golf Btoi l- iugs and carried her capote or chapeau, or whatever you call it, during the ceremony. Cuff ribbons of the color of cow's blood were the only ornaments. "It was a great affair," the drummer rattled on. "You see, the groom was quite popular. He had been a clerk in his father's store for a long time, knew every body, and was considered the best gossip at 'the corners.' Besides he was a petite blond, quite dressy and stylish, and really of a sweet and obliging disposition. Al though a counter hopper, his disposition was seraphic and he was possessed of many accomplishments and domestic virtues. He is a graduate of the Indiana Domescio Training School For New Men, and at his graduation received a prize for an essay on 'Ventilation of the Nursery.' The drummer paused, out of breath, and gave one of his hearers a chance to get in a word. "Yon ought to have gone into the newspaper business," was the suggestion, followed by the query, "What is your line?" "My liner Oh, I'm selling inflations for balloons, bloomers and sleeves." Chi cago Tribune. Trial. "Does her love her icky darling?" he queried. 'Es." "Docs her love her icky darling lots?" 'Es." "Will her love her icky darling always?" A man with gray hair, who bore a strik ing personal resemblance to the young woman whose head rested upon the shoul der of the youth attired in an ice cream suit, strode into the apartment and called time. "I would suggest," he said, with an ef fort to be calm, "that this civil service ex amination be adjourned until tomorrow evening." Then the effort to be calm became too much for him, and he burst Into a harsh, mirthless laugh. Detroit Tribune. Was Wondering-. Little Jack Where are you goin this summer, Mr. Softchapp?

The K tato Kerormitery Board Tell Sena Btertea A6at BiperlaUaleat Hatch, The three men who act as director of tha Hutchinson reformatory are not ready to resign nor do they expect to be re moved. They came to Topeka last even ing and are quartered at the Throop. They are here to re Tate the charges made against the board by Superinten dent Hatch and others who aay that the beard has been recklessly extravagant and hint that some of their transactions savor of dishonesty. They are John Armstrong, J. 1L Humphrey, and Tnliy Scott. "We will not resign," said J. H. Hum phrey, "because we have done nothing which should cauge as to resign. We have done what we considered best, and while I admit that we might have saved f 4u0 or $500 on furniture we purchased, what we got was on the recommendation of Superintendent Hatch and his wife and perhaps because we were a little green. "We have considered ourselves In the light of a judicial body, and we con cluded that the dignity of our positions would not warrant us replying to trie viiifying slanders of Hatch or anyone else, but now our lips have been unsealed and we are here to tell what we know." Then Chairman John Armstrong and Mr. Humphrey told the story and they to d everything they knew about Mr. Hatch. They said that Mrs. Hatch was in Kansas City a month before the board reached there and she acd Mr. Hatch selectfd everything. "iir. Hatcn told us," sud Mr. Humphrey, "when we reached Kansas City that if we would leave tne purchase of the furniture to him we could get away the next day and every thing would be satisfactory. He said we would bur the furniture of Kieth. When I toid him we would look around he d.d not lua it. "We lojked over the furniture at the Kieth. establishment and took the prices and continued our inspection in other etores. Hatch tried to prevent as from going to North's, where we bought the furniture, but when we went there we found the prices a great deal cheaper than at Kieth'a, und we concluded to buy there After we had concluded to buy. Hitch got into a quarrel with Mr. North and said that he would not live in a house furnished by that firm. "Hatch had a nephew working for Burnham, Hanna, Munger Co., and wanted us to take tha carpets there. He said his wife wouid feel very bad if we did not, and we finally agreed to fix up matters by buying the carpets of the nephew provided wa could get them as cheap as at the other place. "Mr. and Mrs. Hatch helped in the se lection of the furniture, but before we lef: he told Mr. North that he would have control of all the finances of the institu tion within sixty days. "When we got back to Hutchinson we found that Hatch had bought an incubat cr and had hatched out twelve or thir teen rhickeas, though the apparatus cost over (6Jl He had changed the plans of the work on the buildings; he had bought bath tubs; he had ordered the roof of the ceil house torn oil and all this without the knowledge or consent of the board, and we determined to get rid of him as soon as possible. The piano was purchased by Mrs. Hatch without the knowledge of the board." Then Mr. Humphrey talked about the vouchers that were disallowed on the opinion of the attorney general. "Before we took our eastern trip" said he, 'we advised with the governor about our pay and be told us that he thought it should come from the building and maintenance fund. We had a talk with Auditor Cole and the attorney general who told U3 that he would give an opinion. The auditor promised to fix up our vouchers and return them to us if they were not correct but when they were sent in Mr. Cole was not here and Mr. Cook sent the vouchers to the attor ney general who gave his opinion which was published at the time." The board has copies of the charges and findings against Hatch and they say that everything will be all right now that he has been got oat of the way. STATE HOUSE NOTES.

He was outnumbered and either of his antagonists were larger than he, but he fought with the recklessness of youth and succeeded in getting himself well bruised.

A Cyllader Head Blows Out amd the aariae Crete Beyond CeatreL. The passengers on the Highland Park railway train from Highland Park to Topeka all jumped from a runaway train at 8 o'clock this morning to avoid a more serious accident, and some of those who jumped were badly bruised, though none were fatally hurt Just as the train on this road started down the big hill east of the city at 8 o'clock thia morning the cylinder rod on the motor broke and the cylinder head blew out. The train crew attempted to set the brake on the open car when the brake chain broke and the train started down the steep grade without control. As soon as the train got out of the cut all the passengers jumped off and in so doing some of them were badly bruised, although no one was seriously hurt. Those on the train were: Mrs. A. G. Miner of Highland Park jumped oS backwards, badly bruised and had her back hurt. Mrs. N. J. Rush of Ottawa, a relative of Mrs Miner, ankle sprained. Mua Kate Bobbin, bruised. Mrs.- C E. Curry, bally bruised. Geo E. Flanders, back hurt and sides bruised. The other passengers who were shaken up and ilightly bruised were: Fred Webster, of the Green Coal com pany. H. I Bevelle, manager of the Western Union. Will Berry, of the Edison company.' Ed- Curry, of Eigie Carry. Frank C urry, employed by the Ac counting Trust company. A. F. Barry, superintendent, and hii son Frank Barry. The train was ia charge of Engineer George Woods and Fireman Hendy. Mr. H. L. Bevelle, manager of the Wes'ern Union who was a passenger on the train, gave tha Jocbxal an account of the accident. He said: "When the cylinder head blew oat of the engine the train was running about eight or ten miles an hour and nad jus: started on the down grade through the cut. 1 he en gineer and fireman rushed back to the car and both attempted to set the brake. They pulled too hard and the brake chain broke. "The speed kept increasing all the time and as soon as we got ou: of the cut ail the passengers, including the en gineer and Superintendent Barry who was on bord jumped oil. "In jumping from the train which was then goiag not less than twelve or fif teen miles an hour, almost all the pas sengers were more or less braised aud shaken up. "I waa the first one off, and it was a sight the wav the passengers tumoled ofif, some going head over heels three or tour times before they could stop. It is a great wonder no one was killed. "Every person left the train but the fireman, and it looked every minute as though the train would leave the track and ue would be killed. "The train was not stopped until it had almost reached the round house, a mile from the scene of the accident." Superintendent Barry says th6 train was not runniag faster than five miles an hour whaa the passengers jumped off. ABOUT THAT RAIN. More Misrepresentation by the Morales Fake Organ Cesented by Mr. Jenuinci. Observer T.B. Jennings of the weather bureau at Topeka feels that the Capital does him an injustice for criticising him for the failure of predictions which he never made. The Capital one day this week, after stating that Mr. Jennings had promised rain, says: "Nevertheless the night was oue of the moat beautiful of the summer season. There waa not a cloud in the sicy," eta W hile Mr. Jennings does not dispute the accuracy of the observations of the Capital young man whose duty it is to gaze towards the heav ens and report the movements of the cloud and the condition of tne atmos phere, he denies making the prediction. "In the first place," Mr. Jennings says: I was not in Topeka at the time to make the prediction. I was in southern Kansas getting data for my next report. My assistant, Mr. Belden, tells me ha did net promise rain for that night. What he said was that it might rain that night or the next day. It showered the next day. Considering the disadvantages we labor under it is specially unjust to criti cise us for the failure of predictions we never made." ANOTHER SUICIDE. John Palm Blows Hi Fee Off With, a Shot Gun. John Palm, who worked on the farm of Eri Hansford, near Silver Lake, com mitted suicide about noon yesterday by blowing almost his entire face away with a shot gun.

Palm has relatives in Osage City, aud his remains were sent there for burial. He is of Swedish parentage. GOOD CROPS, GOOD SHOWS. Cight More Attraction Booked for the Grand et Winter.

The committee on streets and walks of the city council will soon have a serious question to grapple with, and the whole council will probably be called upon to consider it For some reason the east line of Kan sas avenue from Kious street to Garfield Park ia laid oat in crescent shape, and there ia not room enough in one block between the street railway tracks and the sidewalk for two buggies to pass. When new brick walks were laid they were put down by the city on the false line though the matter waa discussed. The city engineer said that he did not feel like ordering the walks put on the line, because it would make a great deal of trouble. Now more of the wooden walks have been condemned and the question ia whether the new walks shall be built on the old line or where they belong. Some of the buildings on the street are several feet ia the street and the walks would have to be built around the build ings or the buildings moved if they are put where thev belong. There ia another thing that is worrying the people along the street and that is the trolley poles are put ia without any regard to regularity, some of them being in the middle of the sidewalk, some on the inside and some on the outside of the walk. The council will be asked to or der them changed. CLASSMATE OF THE CZAR. AKomancing Physician Who Telle Big Sroriee of His LI fa. Oakland, CaL, July 11. The trial of a suit brought against Dr. S. A. Ambrose for practicing medicine without a li cense, disclosed the sensational eareer of a man who is either a count and a friend of the present czar of Russia, or one of the wildest romancers who ever faced a judge. The doctor says he was a classmate of Czar Nicholas II and graduated from two celebrated medical colleges in Russia from which certified copi of diplomas were exhibited. The diplomas are pro nounced forgeries. The doctor says he wa3 banished from Russia and that the present suit is a plot to deprive him of his title of count and the vast estates to which he is heir, as under the Russian law when a citizen is imprisoned a year for a felony he forfeits his titles and estates.

Marti, mounted on a large stal lion, which he spurred furiously into a gallop, charged madly on the Spanish square, breaking down their ranks. The horse became unmanageable and plunged violently, goaded and pierced by the Spanish bayonets. Mur.i was dragged from his horse and bayoneted, and his body afterwards riddled with bulleta, MORE LAND TO OPEN. Several Hundred Thousand Acres in Cali fornia May Be Thrown Opsn.

TVhat Dr. Fram of London and the Lmto Sr. Oliver Wendell Holme Have Said Concerning Them. A great many physicians can discover diseases and then can't cure them. A great many oculists can discover what is wrong with a person's eyes but can't find a remedy for them. When a person has suffered with his stomach for several years and has persistently doctored for it and has not been benefitted be declares that the trouble is not in his stomach at all, but is in some other organ. And the physician switches off and is convinced that the trouble lies in the patient's kid neys. After a failure is made in that di rection the physician shifts again to the liver when m fact he does not know at all where the Beat of the trouble is. In the meantime, the patient is being pois oned with strong medicines and more in jury has been done than had he never consulted a physician. As Dr. Evans, Fellow of the Royal college, London, s&ya: "The popular medical system is a most uncertain and unsatisfactory system. It has neither philosophy nor common sense to commend it !o confidonce." And the late Dr. Oliver Wendell Hclmes, of Boston, said: 'If the con tents of all the drug stores were emptied into the sea mankind would be better oil." Has not Prof. Samuels, who is now at tha Throop hotel, proved to thousands of people that they don't need so much med icine in their systems? When a person is having trouble with his stomach, Prof. Samuels can cure him. He cures people without medicine. If you know of any one who is having spasms, Prof. Samuels will try to cure him. Fie has done it be fore. People who suffer with dizziness can be cured by Prof. Samuels. The worst kind of headache can be perma nently relieved by Prof. Samuels no mat ter how old the person may be. Persons who experience that tired feeling should call on Prof. Samuels. The worst kind of sore eyes Prof. Samuels cures without any pain. Ulcers of the worst form are removed by Prof. Samuels in a short time. Parents whose children suffer with weak eyes should not fill their little systems with drugs. Take them to Prof. Samuels. He does not believe in the drug treatment, and neither do the doc tors themselves. Prof. Samuels cures all the above troubles entirely through the eyes. TO RELIEVE PEARY. The Steamer "Kite" Sails Today to Find tha Explorer. St. Johns. N. F., July 11. The steam er Kite will sail today with the Green land scientific expedition to relieve Lieutenant Peary.

To a reporter he said before leaving: "The beef and pork industry is still in a very unsatisfactory condition. The public has had an erroneous idea with regard to the business in which I am interested. There has been no trust formed to advance prices, nor to take ad vantage of a mythical scarcity of cattle to corner the market "The cattle raisers are masters of the ituation. They are holding their cattle at such figures as compel the packers to pay unprofitable prices for stock, and in order to get out without any loss, we have had to advance prices to the mar ket men. The result is that there has been no money in meat for a long time." Baltimore, Md., and return $29.25 Bock Island route. Baltimore and return by the Santa Fe route $29.25.

A Friend of Ir. Aldsrson Say He Will Not Resign Just Now. A member of Dr. Alderson's congrega tion who is favorable to the doctor, de clares that the minister is not looking about for a new field and an opportunity to resign. "It is a fact that there is opposition to him in the church," he said, "There has been opposition to every minister we have had. There seems to be a dissatis fied faction that objects to something al ways. It seems to be their hope to keep this talk about Dr. Alderson going and so force him to resign. Tne doctor feels it keenly and so do his friends, aud if it koeps up I believe it will result in a split even if the disturbers do try to smooth things over by saying there is no feeling in the church, All this talk about him not being a capable 'minister is foolish ness, lie is good enough. We have had better ones, but this same faction managed to get them out. If we get a better one we will have to pay more, and the congregation can't Btand it, finan cially." John E. Moon, one of the board, said today: "Only recently the church voted by a large majority to retain their pres ent pastor and Dr. Alderson informs us that no one is authorized to make any statement as to what he proposes to do in the future. I am sure there is no foundation for asserting that a 'meeting is soon to be called to discus the matter.' The finances of the church are in good condition and the board has recently congratulated itself that its money affairs are even more satisfactory than usual at this time of the year."

"He did not tell me he had such an in tention and if he had, I should have taken the necessary precautions. Indeed, I should have forbidden him, as would have been my duty, to divulge anything of our conversation. I did not use the language M. Routier attributes to me, and I do not understand why M. Routier thought he had the right to invite me to discuss delicate questions of international policies. The Estafette, discussing the affair, re marks: "It would not require manv such I incidents, especially in view of the effect which it produced in Snain, to lead to serious complications with the United States. The fault rests entirely with the Lnited States, which by carrying out the application of the Monroe doctrine to an abuse and bv the iniquity of their inter vention disturb the European nations and injure in the end their most legiti mate interests."

GROCER. 112 East Sixth St, KIRK'S FRIENDS. They Are Legion In Topeka. ALL RECORDS BROKER 1,216 Packages of Kirk's Rain Water Maker Sold Yesterday By the Grocery Trada. The wonderful success that has attend ed the introduction of Kirk's Rain Water Maker is unprecedented in the history of Topeka. Think of it 1,216 packages sold in one day. The merchant, the professional man, the mechanic and he who earns his bread by tht, sweat of nis brow, oue and all indorse Kirk's latest and greatest dis covery, and Kirk's Rain Water Maker may be iustly termed the great universal preparation for properly preparing water for all washing purposes. CAS'T WOBK WITHOUT IT. In thn Work About the Home As Universal Cleanser and Dirt Killer. Mrs. Nichols of 717 Madison was seen by a reporter. She said: "I have not had a chance to use this preparation myself, but ciy mother has and finds it an ex ceptional article. She says it breaks hard water so well that the difference is hardly apparent, the broken water being a trifle the softer. She used it for wash ing and the clothes came out splendidly; she used it for dishwashing and window washing, which work it made much easier. Some of my friends have spoken in high terms of its many merits and I am sure all will derive great benefit from its use." KIRK'S BAH WATER MAKEH." Kirk's '-Rain Water Maker" will hold colors from running in printed goods. Flannels and woolens washed in water prepared with this most valuable prep aration will positively not shrink. It breaks the hardest water intantly. For the bath or toilet it is indispensa ble, making the water soft and velvety, accelerating the action of soap, giving the skin a healthy glow and helping to remove any superfluous excretions that may adhere to the body. For the dishes and general washing purposes it is very essential, as it saves both labor and soap. The preparation is not to be confound ed with soap powder, as it contains no soap, lye, ammonia, borax, lime or any deleterious ingredients.

His brows were drawn together by a. frown thas looked like ill temper, but may have been perplexity, and his lips were set in a straight line that showed the possession of a will, determined and self reliant a handsome man, well groomed, no longer young, but in that golden prime where the alert soul knows its own value. "Ethel has told me another falsehood,' he said in cold, even tones, addressing his nephew, Ralph Meadows, who eat in a window retreat reading up some problem in civil engineering, and who laughed sud denly, as if the subject impressed him hu morously instead of shocking him, as his uncle expected. "Poor Ethel!" he said. "I don't be lient it is in that child to epeakthe truth." "Child!" His uncle winced. There was too forced a contrast presented to his im agination by the term. "You forget, Ralph, that Ethel is 18 quite old enough to have some ideaof moral responsibility." "True, uncle," answered Ralph, with a yawn, "but I should as soon expect to find a kitten with a conscience. She has never been allowed to think or act for herself, but has always been a puppet in others' hands." "Yon undervalue her," said Ms uncle sharply. "No; I only do not expect too much of her. She has a beautiful character, but her moral nature has been perverted through fear." "Lying is such a contemptible thing," said Mr. Wynne severely. "So is gambling. Yet I have heard you gay that you believed you were born with a passion for gambling, and you have needed help to save you from yourself. Still you have no mercy for another sin ner." Harold Wynne looked at hia presumptu ous young relative in astonishment. Could this be tho thoughtless youth who had lived under his roof, looking up to him as to a father, and who was now constituting himself judge and jury to arraign and condemn? Before he could speak the door opened, and Ethel herself entered, a boautlful liar indeed, her large, guileless blue eyes wide and wondering with innocent curiosity. "There she is to spoak for herself," said Mr. Wynne. "Ethel, did you not tell me you were at home last night all the even ing?" Ethel looked anxiously from the face of the uncle to that of the nephew but, see ing no help in either, she answered sweetly: "Y-es, Guardy, I was in my own room, learning the lines you gave ma to commit from Longfellow. I can recite them now." Ralph Meadows was convulsed with suppressed merriment, but Mr. Wynne saw nothing amusing in the occasion, as Ethel, with a stately pose and dramatic gestures, recited the Hues: If "by night the frogs are croaking, Kindle but a torch's fire. Ea, how soon they all are silent So truth silences the liar. Harold Wynne applauded his ward, but' his nephew was undeniably angry. "I have read somewhere' he said; "that truth was a greatly overestimated virtue. If things were to go on like this, I should be inclined to adopt that opinion." Mr. Wynne returned persistently to the original crievance. "Where were you last night, Ethel?" "I have told you, Guardy." "You were out walking with me, Ethel. Why do you not tell him?" asked Ralph. "I I forgot." "There!" said Mr. Wynne angrily; "See how one lie begets another. Why could she not have told me that in the first place? I must say it was an improper pro ceeding. Where was Mrs. Fleming?" "In her bed, sleeping the sleep of the just. We were in by 9 o'clock. If there was any blame, it belongs to me, as I asked Ethel for company." "It is not necessary, Ralph, that you' should shoulder Ethel's responsibilities," his uncle said in an annoyed manner "she is old enough to act for herself. I some times wish" He stopped and remained silent. "Not that you had never taken me Into your life don't say that 1" cried the girl, slipping down on her knees beside him and pressing her sweet lips to his hard hand. "You have been too good and kind to me, and I can nevejr repay you and I will try, Guardy, indeed I will, to profit by your goodness. Forgive me." She rose with shining eyes and like a vision of sweetness passed but of the room, nor did she once cast a glance at the younger man, who in his heart was call ing his relative a jellyfish of judgment and other unapostelic names. When the girl was gone from the room; Harold Wynne clasped his hands at the back of his neck and sat deeply thinking. "I'll do it!" he said at last. "It is my duty and the only way to save her. She needs a strong, firm, hand to guide her. I know her failing and will temper jastice with mercy. Ralph, listen to me a mo ment." "Yes, sir." Ralph laid his book down it waa doubtful if he had been reading and prepared to give respectful attention to what his uncle was about to say. "I have decided to marry Ethel." "Indeed, sir." "It will make no difference to you, as your property will remain yours by law. I have enough without that. And you will make your home here with Ethel and me. She likes you, and if she did not it would make no difference. She inust respect my wishes." "I should think," said the younger man slowly, "that you would hesitate to place your happiness in the keeping of one who tells lies!" "Not at all," answered his uncle coolly. "That is the one flaw in an otherwise per fect character. I shall read to her treatises on the 'Philosophy of Truth' and other literature of the same moral aim and strive to teach her to love truth for truth's sake." His nephew smiled. He did" not know much, of that delicate and complex shrine, a woman's heart, but he felt assured hi uncle knew eveu less than he. To be co erced into telling the truth soemod to him a poor way of avoiding falsehood. But he merely asked: "Have you spoken to Ethel?" "No, but I will see her tonight." Mr. Wynne touched a bell and sent word to his ward that he wished to see her. She came as promptly as if she had been wait ing for hia message. Was it possible she anticipated the honor about to be conferred upon her? Before Harold Wynne could speak his nephew advanced to meet Ethel and had taken her hand. "You need not sacrifice yourself, uncle, be said briefly. "Ethel is my wife. We were married last night." Detroit Free Press. T i
