if PRICE 2 CENTS. MONDAY. TOPEKA, KANSAS, AUGUST 12, 1895. MONDAY. PRICE 2 CEHTS. COMING J0M0RR0W. The Republican State Central Committee's Meeting. The People Have Already Nom inated David Martin. BUT PARTY SCHEMERS Want a Convention for Ulterior Reasons. Something About Chief JusJ,e David Martin. For the first time in the history of Kansas the people have taken the bits in their teeth and nominated a candidate for chief justice without regard to the action of committees or conventions. Chief Justice David Martin ia the choice of four-fiftha of the voters of the state, and it ia perfectly eafe to say that if all the parties should meet in state convention and nominate candidates for this office and ignore David Martin, he wouid bo nominated by petition and elected anyway. The Republicans know this is a fact, and the Democrats and Populists admitted it when ex-Governors Glick and Levelling headed a pe tition to make Justice Maitin a non partisan candidate. Chief Justice Mar tin is. therefore, already nominated and it only remains for the Republican com mittee which meets here tomorrow to make it unanimous. David Martin is a pure man. He is a just judge. His decisions will be in ac cardance with the law. In northeastern Kansas where he is best known he is strongest with the people. He was twice elected judge of the First district, comprising the counties of Atchison, Brown, Donphan and Nemaha without opposition. He will be elected Chief Justice in November in the same way. On the one great question which is now agitating the people silver Judge Martin reflects the sentiments of the masses of all parties. He has been a consistent advocate of the free coinage of silver, and has not dodged from one side to the other to gain popular favor. He has bean right, and the people are fast finding it out. Fonr-fifths of the voters of the etate endorse his views on the money question, and his personality as the candidate for chief justice is a better and stronger free silver platform for the Republicans of Kansas than any that couid be made by a convention. There are several interesting coinci dences connected with Martin's appoint ment to succeed Horton. The latter, upon resigning last spring, immediately formed a partnership with B. P. Wag gener and J. V. Orr, Martin's old part ners. Horton and Waggener were iaw partners in Atchison eighteen years ago, when Horton received his appointment to the supreme bench. When Horton left Atchison to make his home in To peka he sold his residence to David Martin, who atill occupies it. Outside of the officials and employes at the state house who occasionally see Judge Martin as he darts in and out of the building through the east entrance under the steps, there are not more than twenty-five people in Topeka who know Judge Martin. Since his appointment to the supreme bench he has appeared., in the corridors of the Copeland hotel but twice. Both times be went there to attend and give encour agement to a meeting of free silver Re publicans. He did not chat with the" politicians, as is the custom of members of the supreme court. The reason so few people in Topeka know Judge Martin at sizht is because he never appears on Kanuas avenue when he can avoid it lie boards at the Throop and when he goes to the state house he walks down Fourth street to Jackson, thence to the northeast entrance to Capitol square and then along the well-beaten path which leads to the 'cave of the winds" under the steps of the east wing. Judge Martin does not visit with state officers unless they climb the stairs to his room off the senate chamber. There he spends'his time, working ten hours a day endeavoring to untangle the many knotty problems which come before him for final settlement. While there is no opposition in the Re publican party to the nomination of Judge Martin, there is a division in the ranks as to how it should be done. The anti-administration crowd want a state convention because a gathering of pro hibitionists, anti-prohibitionists, free sil ver advocates, sound money theorists aad anti-administration Republicans at this time would be an attraction worth traveling many miles to soe. The 'cuckoos" on the committee are those the convention advocates claim are "fixed by Cy." The majority of these are holding office and will, it is charged, vote as Cy dictates. Then it is claimed that Cy has been traveling over the state far the past ten days securing proxies aad that he has enough to defeat the convention crowd in the committee. The fallows on the committee who wanted a mething and didn't get it are demaad lag a state convention. They argue that li is always safe to trust the people and that it is never safe to trust Cy Lei and Among these might be mentioned Charles F. Johnson, who wanted to ba bank commissioner; W. E. Sterne, who didn't name the police commissioners of Topeka; J. J. Cox of Lawrence, who was'nt appointed a member of the state board of public works; J. L. Senior of Coffey county, who failed in his candi cacy for bank commissioner; Geo. IL Burr of St. John, also a candidate for bank commissioner, and a number of others who are. fighting Cy and the ad ministration for various reasons. The "cuckoos" who are said to be con trolled by Leland are George A. Clark of Junction City, member of the state board of charities; Morton Albaugh of King man, member of same board; K. E. Wil eocksoa of Logan county, same; J. C Postlewaite of Jewell City, mem ber board of regents state agri cultural college; John Kelly of Wichita, guard at the penitentiary; S. M. Fox, adjutant general; Tim Stover, assistant secretary of. state; T. J. Hayes, steward of Osawatomie insane asylum; Jim Simp eon, railroad commissioner, and Lit Crum, the mysterious man with a "pull," of Oswego. There are thirty-five members of the committee and it is believed that there will not be more than twenty present at the meeting tomorrow, but the others will be represented by proxy, and it is safe to guess that Chairman Leland will hold the most of them. HALF A MILLION BURNS. Two Big; Manufactories at Philadelphia Are Destroyed. Philadelphia, Aug, 12. A fire which did damage amounting to between $35U,00U and 400,000 started in the big live-story building occupied by Brown Bailey as a paper box manufactory, and before the flames had been got under control the big gas fixture establishment of Buck Company adjoining and a dozen dwellings which suriounded the two factories were laid in ashes. The principal losers are Brown Bailey and Buck Co. The former's loss will reach .$150,000 with an in surance of $100,00t, Buck Co.'s loss is between $100,000 and $125,000, with an insurance of between $75,OJO and $80,000. Yeager Bro., coal dealers, place their loss at about $20,000. while the loss on the burned dwellings will reach in the neighborhood of $50,000. Several firemen were injured, but none fatally. PEFFEIt DIDN'T SAY That silver Sentlmmt is Dying: Out He Leavei on an Eastern Trip. Senator W. A. Peffer left, today for Knowlesville. New York, where he ad dresses the New York Farmer's Alliance on the 15th inst. From there he will go to Tiffin, Ohio where he delivers the Labor Day address. Sanator Peffer is one of the six sena tors appointed to represent the govern ment at the opening of the National Military park at Chattanooga, Tennessee, from the 18th to the 21st of September, and he may not return to Topeka until after the dedication. He was selected by Vice President Stephenson because he was in the division of the army in the vicinity of Chattanooga at the time of the battle. The senator's trips are not always pleasant to him, for he is so often mid represented in the eastern newspapers. On a recent trip it was given out that he said the silver sentiment was dying out in the west. To a Journal reporter today he said: "I have been misquoted in the New York papers about the sub sidence of the silver sentiment. What I did say was that the silver sentiment is spreading constantly wider and wider among the people, and that the pyrotech nic part of the business, the calling of meetings, passing of resolutions and hur rahing had been passed, and that now the subject is being discussed in the homes and hamlets and in small assemblies and that they will be heard from at the polls, I believe the whole west and south is practically unanimous for the restoration of the free coinage system as it existed under the law of 1837." Senator Peffer said he had hoped to get some rest, but he finds it "the most difficult matter in the world." SARATOGA RACES. Bey Del Santa Anita Wins the Saratoga Prize Handicap. Saratoga, Aug. 12.

S. 0. THACHER DEAD. Passed Away at Lawrence Early t.- Sunday Morning. '-'"V-;- His Family Present and He Was Conscious. MR. THACHER'S LIFE. Many Positions of Trust Held by Him. Funeral Will be Held Wednesday at Lawrence. Lawrekck, Kan., Aug. 12. The death of Judge Solon O. Thacher took place at his home in the south part of the city at 5:30 o'clock Sunday morning, eurrounded by his family. He was conscious to the last and had known during the past week all that had been going on in his waking hours. He slept much of the time, and thus the report got out that he was unconscious. Judge Thacher was sick a little over two weeks. He had gone to Colorado for his health, but soon returned. On the way home the train was de layed for thirty-six hours by high water, and during that during that lime it was mi- possible to get to eat. This troubles, and he house for several anything whatever aggravated his was confined to his days after he arrived at home. The following week he was out again at his office, though not at all well. A week ago Friday he was taken much worse, and Bright's disease in its worst form was added to the other com plaints. He was so ill that his lite was despaired of at the time, and it was not thought he could live until Mrs. Thacher could be sent for, she being in New York visiting relatives. He continued very low till a week ago, when he rallied and seemed much better. There was no ap parent change from then till the time of his death, his life hanging by a thread all the time. The news of Judge Thacher'a death spread rapidly through the city, and on every hand were heard expressions of regret at the sad news. The funeral services will be held Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock in the Plymouth Congregational church, of which Judge Thacher was a member. The services will be conducted by Rev. Richard Cordley, pastor of the church. It is expected there will be many present from all parts of the state, who have known Judge Thacher in his long res idence, and who honored his ability and integrity. Judge Solon O. Thacher was born in Hornellsville, N. Y., August 31, 1830. His early education was in the district schools of the state, and later he went to Alfred academy, where he graduated, From there he went to Union college and completed a course of study, and then became a student of the Albany law shool, where he graduated with honors in 1S56. He soon became active in poli tics, and was a delegate to the first state convention in New York for ihe organ ization of the Republican party. After the Fremont campaign he moved to Kan sas, where he at once took a leading part in the couflict then in progress be tween the free-state and pro-slavery par ties for the possession of the state. He located at Lawrence and his talents were at once recognized by the invitation ex tended to him to be one of the counselors of the free-state movement. When the Wyandotte constitutional convention wss convened in July, 1859, Judge Thacher was one of its members. He was unanimously chosen temporary presiding officer, and there was a strong eifort on the part of many or the dele gates to have him made permanent pre sident, but he was finally selected as chairman of the legislative committee of the body. B. F. Simpson in his recollections has this to say of Judge Thacher'a work in the Wyandotte convention: "The great speech of that convention was delivered by Judge Solon O. Thacher of Douglas, in opposition to a resolution offered by Air. McCune of Leavenworth county; asking that "free negroes" be ex cluded from a residence in the state. From the circumstances attending the delivery, I do not believe that the effort was a premeditated one; for the cruel proposition was offered in the midst of the consideration of other questions, and without notice. "After several others had spoken and notably General John Ritchie, who had made a most earnest protest against it, Judge Thacher took the floor and deliv ered the most scholastic, eloquent and unanswerable argument in opposition to it. That speech settled the question in favor of the absolute freedom of the Kansas soil to all colors and conditions in life." The next winter Judge. Thacher was one of the influential citizens of Law rence who succeeded in getting the fifth territorial legislature of Kansas to ad journ from Lecompton to Lawrence, on guarantee of good accommodations to that body. In September, 1S64, he was nominated by the Republican union state conven tion for governor, in opposition to Sam uel J. Crawford, who was elected. Previous to this, on the organization of the judicial districts of the state under the Wyandotte constitution, he was elected judge of the fourth district, which includes Douglas county, and served from December 6, 3859, the date of the election, till 1S6-L when he re signed. In 1867 he was a candidate for United States senator, and received the second highest number of votes for the short term. When St John was up for the third term nomination for governor, the op position to him in the Republican con vention united on Thacher as the most available candidate, but did not have votes enough to nomi nate him. He was appointed in July, 1884, by President Arthur, as one of three commissioners from the United States to visit South America to negotiate treaties and do other diplomatic work in the South and Central American coun tries. His associates on that commission were George H. Sharp of New York and Thomas C. Reynolds of St. Louis. His work with this commission was of the highest order. A few years later, on the assembling of the Pan-American congress at Washing ton, he made a report of the work ac complished, and his part in the proceed ing! of that congress was considered as among its most important. Judge Thacher was several times a member of the Kansas legislature, and at his death was state senator from the district comprising Jefferson and Doug las counties. In the United States senatorial fight last winter he was one of the leading candidates, and on account of his ability and fitness for the position was considered at all times a for midable candidate, and wae third in the race till the final selection was made by the caucus. His name was also mentioned in connection with the chief justiceship on the Btate supreme bench, on the occurrence of the recent vacancy. Judge Thacher'a family was the only Puritan Thacher family that settled in Massachusetts, the first preacher of the old South church in Boston. Rev. Thoa, Thacher, being an ancestor of his. In 1856 he was married to Miss Sarah M. Gilmore, and she and one daughter, Mrs. Peter E, Emery, are all the mem bers of his immediate family who are now living. Judge Thacher was a mem ber of the Plymouth Congregational church of Lawrence, and was always a free giver to all charitable enterprises. For several years past his health has not been good, and last fall he had an attack something similar to that which caused his death, and was then thought to be at the point of death, but he re covered. MILES OF LANTERNS. The Wheelman to Give a Parade on Thursdny. The T. A. A. W.'s are doing their ut most to make the ninth annual state meet of the L. A. W. an affair long to' be re membered by the visiting wheelmen. The track is in most excellent condi tion and it is thought there will be a general record smashing. There are already Bixty entries includ ing men from St. Louis, Omaha, Grand Island, Denver, and Chicago, besides the fastest men in the state. No carriages will be admitted to the quarter stretch, so there will be no dif ficulty in seeing the races from start to finish. The admission to the ground, in cluding grand stand, will be 50c, one child under 12 years of age, accompanied by adult with paid ticket, will be admit ted free. The railroads will make a rate of one-third fare for round trip. Visitors should see to getting receipts with tick ets which must be countersigned by agent here. All open races will be paced by tan dems, which will cause every man to do his best. There will probably be a tan dem race during the meet with three or four entries. The local club will present each mem ber of the Lv A. W. from this state with a sonvenir pin. Thursday night at 8 o'clock a lantern parade will form at the Copeland, the league headquarters, in which all local and visiting wheelmen will take part. This will undoubtedly be the largest bicycle parade ever held in the city. On Friday also at 12 o'clock sharp there will be a parade from the Cope land. Friday evening the T. A. A., W. will meet the visitors at Tenth and Kan sas avenue, and headed by Marshall's band escort them to Garfield park, where they will be entertained at the band concert and fireworks display.

He is Re-elected Without Any Opposing Votes. Joseph Chamberlain is Jeered by the Irish. London, Aug. 12. The preparations for the assembling of the house of com mons commenced at an early hour this morning. One member arrived at 5 o'clock in the morning and waited out side until the house was opened at 6 o'clock in order to win the distinction of being the first member to enter. The other members came in later until 10 a. m. Thirty places were secured on the government side of the house while only six seats had been taken on the opposi tion. Mr. E. G. Hatch, Conservative who de feated Park hurst. Liberal in the Gorton division of Lancashire, was the person who entered at 5 o'clock. As generally expected Mr. Wm. Court Gully, Liberal, member of parliament for Carlisle, who was elected speaker of the house of commons in succession to the now viscount Peel, was re-elected speaker when the house of commons as sembled this afternoon without oppo sition. There was a large attendance of mem bers. The government benches at an early hour were crowded to excess, and many members were compelled to take refuge in the cross benches. The Liberal and Irish benches were not crowded early in the day. Among the Irish mem bers of parliament present were the men who Bat between Mr. T. P. O'Connor and Mr. Edward Blake. Also present on the Irish bench es were Mr. l. cumvan, air. John Dillon, Dr. Charles K. D. Tanner and other distinguished leaders of the Irish Nationalist party. Later in the day however the Liberal benches became crowded and when the proceedings com menced the Liberals had showed up in strong force. At 2:15 the usher of the BlackJRod ap peared at the bar of the house of com mons and all talking was immediately hushed. The members of the house were then formally requested to attend the house of lords and hear the reading of the royal commission opening the new parliament. Thereupon Sir Reginald Francis Douce Palgrave, K. C. B., clerk of the house of commons, followed by a number of the members, proceeded to the house of lords, where the royal commission was read. In their turn H. J. Balfour, first lord of the treasury and Conservative leader in the house of commons, and Sir William Vernon Harcourt, liberal leader, entered the house and were loudly cheer ed. The Right Honorable Joseph Cham erlain, secretary of state for the colonies, who followed, was received with loud, derisive cries from the Irish. The Right Honorable Sir John Robert Mobray, Bart., member for Oxford uni versity, Conservative, who has been chairman of the standing orders and se lection committees since 1884, then moved the re-election of Mr. Wm. Court Gully as speaker of the house of commons, and congratulated the house upon being able to open its proceedings with such an act and without a dissenting voice. He pointed out that Mr. Gully eminently proved his fitness for the poBt. The Liberal whip, Mr. Thomas E. Ellis, member of parliament for Merionshire, seconded the motion, and complimented the conservative leader, Mr. Balfour on the course he had taken in this connec tion. Mr. Gully then thanked the house for the honor done him, which, he said, he did not think he owed to personal con siderations, but to the manner in which he hoped he had acquitted himself dur ing his term of office. The speaker was then conducted to the chair amid loud cheers from all parts of the house. Upon assuming the chair Mr. Gaily again thanked the house for the honor done him, and the mace was then laid upon the table. Mr. Balfour congratulated Mr. Gully upon his re-election in a few words ex pressing confidence in his impartiality. Sir William Vernon Harcourt, on be half of the Liberals, also congratulated Mr. Gully, but it was noticed that he was not cheered as warmly as was Mr. Bal four. The house of commons then adjourned until tomorrow. TO BE WARMER. No Hope for a Cool Breeze Promised by Mr. Jennings.

A bright flash in the grate, and all was over. Mortimer Maxwell had burned his uncle's will. He and his three brothers would inherit the estate equally. Why did he do this thing? His uncle had loved him and had treated his wild escapades with leniency. And when the old man realized that his health was failing his heart yearned for the handsome, wayward youth, and he made a will leaving his entire fortune to Mor timer MaxwelL It was this document that fell into the young man's hands. After he read it he buried his face in his hands and remained for some moments in profound thought. Suddenly he started up and cried: "It must not be! My brothers shall never have an opportunity to con test this will and let this princely for tune be devoured by the greedy cormo rants of the law 2s or shall they lay the flattering unction to their goals that they have bluffed me into au amicable settlement. And he destroyed the will as above mentioned. Then he went forth into the air with the free, glad step of a man who thinks he has a level head. Life. He Drew the luce.

The District court rendered a decision in the Omaha police i commission controversy, hold ing, that the old board is legally in possession and entitled to maintain its position until further legal proceedings may show it is not properly in power. The court, however, refuses to make permanent the injunction restraining the A. P. A. police commission from exercising its functions. The decision is in the nature of a compromise, and it remains for the A. P. A. board to go to the supreme couit to have the case decided on its merits. It is rumored that the A. P. A. board will to-day appoint a police force and demand possession of the office and books, and if this is refused, to at tempt to take possession by force. The present police force is prepared to re sist any attempt of this kind. In case the newly appointed police force can not get possession of the city jail, it counts upon securing recognition from the police judge and setting up a little jail of its own.

The fiercest fire the department of this city has had to contend with in many years, with the possible exception of the big grain fire at Ballentine brew ery a couple of months ago, broke out in the plant of the Central Stamping company yesterday afternoon. The front of the Central Stamping com pany s plant was on New Jersey and Railroad avenues, and covered ten city lots on that street. From this branched another building, five stories high and seventy-five feet wide, run ning through the block to Liberty street. From this building there was a wing of the same size, extending from the middle of the block through to East Fair street. On the south side of the main building on the avenue were five three-story brick buildings, and on the north was a new two-story brick structure. All these were destroyed. The loss to the Central Stamping company was estimated by State Senator Ketcham, treasurer of the company, as upward of $500,000; insurance, J2o0,00o. The other losses will aggregate 830,000. The flames were discovered about 2 o'clock in the blacksmith shop. Then the fire had a firm hold on the build ing. A general alarm was sent out, and within twenty minutes every piece of fire apparatus in the city was on the scene. Fifty thousand people watched the progress of the flames. Several firemen were injured. The stamping company started on full time last week and employed 487 men. GENTLEMAN JIM. Pugilist Corbett Spits in Fitzsimmons' Face During- a Barroom Brawl. Philadelphia, Aug. 12. Pugilist Corbett, his brother Joe, and some friends met Bob Fitzsimmons Satur day night in the barroom of Green's hotel. Corbett walked up to the New Zealander and said: "Well, you're shooting off your mouth again about me flunkiug out of that bicycle race, and that you would pull my nose. Now, I'll do the nose pulling," and with this remark tlie cnampion gave Robert's nose a smart tweak. The two men clinched, but before any dam age was done they were separated. Fitzsimmons then turned upon Joe Corbett, who had grabbed the lanky fighter, and attempted to butt him with his head. Joe broke away from Fitzsimmons, at the same time saying: "You big you can't whip me, to say nothing of my brother." Fitzsimmons reached around, picked up a decanter and hurled it at Joe Cor bett, but it went wide of its mark. He then grabbed a castor and was in the act of throwing it at young Cor bett, when he was seized by a special officer. When the quarrel had appar ently been smoothed over, Jim Corbett walked over to Fitzsimmons and spat in his face. The New Zealander was apparently not anxious to tackle the champion, and Fitzsimmons was taken out of the hotel by some friends. THE TAYLORS SENTENCED.

"Isn't that rather a sweeping declara tion?" said Misa Glenn, who safe opposite. Mr. Parrham was a rich bachelor, port ly, sleek and well to do, and his 'never,,i applied to the great question of matrimony as regarding himself. Kitty Glenn was well, she certainly was not an old maid, but she was 29, with brown eyes and bright chestnut hair and lips fresh and crimson as the earliest strawberry of the eeason. And Mrs. Parrham, the old bach elor's sister-in-law, had been doing her best to "get up a math" between them. "No," said Mr. Parrham, "I don't think it is. Marriage Is altogether a mistake!" "Oh, Paulus!" chirped Mrs. Parrham, with a tiny shudder. "That's flying in the face of Scripture!" "How?" demanded Mr. Parrham. "Don't the Bible say, 'It is not good for man to be alone?' "Ah-h-h," said Mr. Parrham convinc ingly, "but we haven't lived up to the Bible ever since. We have degenerated, Sarah. Marriage is a mistake. Any man who sells his birthright of freedom and independence for a wedding ring and a pretty face deserves to be put in bondage. I shah never be such a fool!" Did Kitty's head drop a very trifle as Mrs. Parrham watched her? Nevertheless there was a very perceptible movement of relief in the room when Charley March entered a tall young fellow, with laugh ing eyes and a healthy complexion. "You don't know what you have lost, Mr. March," said Mrs. Parrham lightly. "What?" demanded Charley. "A dissertation on matrimony." "Oh. that's a question that I have noth ing to do with." And he glanced as he spoke at Kitty Glenn. "It's too bad," said Mrs. Parrham to Kitty that night. "What is too bad?" questioned Kitty innocently. "He would have made you such a splen did husband," sighed Mrs. Parrham. "Pooh! That's all past and gone!" While Mr. Parrham, in his own snug room, enwrapped as it were In the fra grance of a Havana, chuckled to himself as he thought how nicely he had outwitted the scheming clique of women down stairs. A week afterward and the mental and epiritual clime had changed. "I'm not going to be very sick, am I?" asked Mr. Parkham. "Oh, no!" answered Dr. Medriek. "It's nothing but a little touch of inflammatory rheumatism 1 I had a patient last week who's been down with it for seven weeks. Couldn't lift his finger without scream ing, I assure you "I can't take care of him any longer, Kitty," said poor little Mrs. Parrham, coming out, pale and haggard, at the ex piration of a weary fortnight. '"He says I get the gruel too hot and the tea too cold, and I step like an elephant, and rustle my dress as if I were robed in newspapers, and, do what I will, I can't please himl And he won't have a nurse a mere mer cenary, he calls it and what shall I do?" "There, there," soothed Kitty. "Don't cry! I'll see what I can do." Some people have dewy coolness at their fingers' ends, mesmeric influences in every step or touch. The invalid's fevered impa tience subsided as she moved softly about the room. "If you were to stay and nure me, I should get well," he 6aid pitously. "Then I'll do my best," said Kitty quietly. "Only, if you are not good, I shall go away." Mr. Parrham frowned and then smiled. After all, dignity aside, there was some thing very pleasant in thus becoming a mere spoiled, humored child ia such beau tiful hands as those of Kitty Glenn, and being'admonished that hemustbe "good" by a voice which was as sweet as a bird's. And the third day, as Mr. Parrham was waiting eagerly for his soup, in came his sister-in-law. "Where's Kitty?" he demanded dolor ously, wrinkling up his broad brow like a 4-year-old about to cry. "She's gone ridiug with Mr. March. It's quite an old engagement and she couldn't very well escape it, but she will be back by 4 o'clock." "Four o'clock How am I to get along until then?" "I'm sure I don't know," said Mrs. Parrham, who possessed one great dis qualification for a sick chamber. "Try your broth, Paulus. It's very nice!" "It's sca-a-alding, said the invalid. "I won't touch a mouthful till she comes back." "Do, Paulus," urged Mrs. Parrham nervously. "Oh, dear, what will the doc tor say?" "I don't caro what ho says," growled the pick man. When she came back, Mrs. Parrham in dulged in a burst of hysterical sobs. "Don't leave us again, Kitty, she be-, wailed, "or I shall certainly die! He is, such a trial." And Kitty laughed tod wcr straight into the sick room with her 'it;t still on to scold the patient for his 1. .a behavior. "Kitty," said he one twilight as she stood opposite him, looking very pretty and very graceful, "how can I ever thank you for all you have done? It will take a whole lifetime to express my gratitude!" "I hope not," said Kitty, shrugging her shoulders. "That would be very tiresome to both of us!" "Nevertheless I shall try it," said Mr. Parrham. "Kitty, I've a question I want to ask yon." "Ask away," said Kitty blithely. "Will vou be mv wife?" "Thank you," said Kitty, "but I'm en gaged." "Engaged!" Yes to Mr. March. We are to be mar ried in May." "But, Kitty" "First come, first served," asserted the young lady calmly. "I won't deny, Mr. Parrham, that I did fancy you a little once, but you declared yourself devoted to celibacy aDd Mr. March was pressing and eager, and dear me, what was a girl to do?" And as she ran blithely away Mr. Parr bam sank back in his chair, convinced that he was the most miserable of men in that he had made his matrimonial offer "too late." New York News. Maine Gold.

The Buffalo Graud Circuit meeting has progressed just far enough, according to racing- au thorities, to convince those most interest ed in it financially that light harness rac ing without pools can not be carried on successfully in this state. The present meeting, which is now half over, has offered sport to those inter ested in put racing far better than any afforded in past years. In thia way the meeting has been a success. Bnt gate receipts and other sources of inconB have fallen far short of any previous year, and in this regard the meeting has BO far been a failure. Barring the interest in the big match race between Robert J. and Joe Patchen, each day has seen a falling off in the at tendance, though the sport has been of a superior kind. Hundreds f Dollars la Cash. The Second Baptist church, of which Rev. G. D. Olden is pastor, collected yes terday for their new church building $312.18; $50 dollars of this sum was given by a few of tha leading white citi zens. This speaks well for Rev. Mr. Olden and his congregation, which is as of the most progressive ia the city. Am silver CTRI ST CCMCAGOJPDEUB To Be Multiplied Many Fold by a New Park To Be Built Out Into the Lake. GRAND AS THE FAIR. Court of Honor Reproduced in Enduring Stone. The Inner Harbor to Be Filled Up. Chicago, Aug. 12. The plans for the magnificent Lake Front park are com pleted. This park is to be made by dumping the aetrituB from the drainage canal into the inner harbor, giving an immense area of made land, which will be beautified with trees and public buildings. Frederick Law Olmstead, who de signed the World's fair, is to be en gaged to create the park. The Illinois Central railway tracks are to be de pressed eleven feet below the surface of the ground. The plan calls for not only a park, but a grouping of public build ings in a manner similar to the court of honor at the World's fair. The committee in its report suggests that what the city needs is not so much another park as another kind of park. It is proposed to have the Lake Front park correspond to the court of honor, as the existing parks now are similar to the wooded island at the World's fair. In carrying out this idea of a great court of honor it is proposed to erect a facade in line with the south end of the art in stitute and another facade at the south end of the park. These, with the build ings along Michigan avenue, will form three sides of the court. The fourth will be left open to afford an unobstructed view of the lake. This would give an area of 140 acres unincumbered with buildings. At the north end of the park are to be located an exposition building 300 feet by 1,1225 feet, and an armory of the same size divided into two sections. These are to be connected by a peristyle and triumphant arch, and an amphithea ter seating 10,000 people. The space thus enclosed, 400x1,12 5 in size, may be used as a parads ground for the nation al guard. The plans for the armories are similar to the plans of Brigadier Gen eral II. A. Wheeler, and similar in exte rior design to the Art institute. Between the Art institute and Randolph street should be located, the committee thinks, several public buildings and ad ditions to the present Art institute. It is suggested that the proposed new city hall be located here. The police and fire department and board of educa tion should have another building. At the south end of tha park, facing Michigan avenue, and corresponding to the Art institute, the Crerar library may bo located. Beyond the tracks the Field Columbian museum should be built. The plans call for a building 200 feet in width by nearly 1,000 in length, with an immense dome in the center This location, it is said, is better than the one in the center of the park, as it does not obstruct the view of the lake. The central feature is to be the im mense lagoon in the center of the park. The lagoon will be bordered by two ter races, one four and the other ten feet above the water. The upper terrace will be on a level with the general grade of the park. The broad foot bridge that crosses the center of the lagoon leads to an island formed by the two inlets. Upon this the music pavilion, open at the sides and to accommodate 1,000 singers and 300 in strumental performers, is be be built. In front of the pavilion is to run the grand plaza, 400x250 feet, for promenade pur poses. Accommodations for tenni3, ball games and other Bports are provided. BBECKIMIIDGE TO RUN.

ACTOR CRANE OVERC031E. Heat in w York Can.es the Veteran Actor to Collapse. Nw York, Aug. 12. William H. Crane, the actor, who was overcome by heat at the Hotel Imperial Saturday afternoon, is dangerously ill. When he fell he wag deathly pale and a gurgling sound came from his lips. His whole as pect was deathlike. It was fifteen minutes or so before Mr. Crane recovered consciousness, and seemed to recognize all, although he was Vdry feeble. He explained in a whisper that he had drunk several ice cream so dts during the afternoon, and seemed to tnink that they were responsible for the fact of his having been overcome by the heat. Perhaps they'were. The Tramp Cared for. A tramp riding on tho trucks of a San ta Fe passenger train yesterday after noon lost his hold about two miles west of Topeka and was run over.

Continued reports are received In this country of the large opportunities for the introduction of American ma chinery and the investment of Ameri can capital which are offered by the peace agreement entered into between China and Japan. A provision is made that China shall hereafter be open for the Introduction of all forms of mod ern machinery, and that such machin ery shall be admitted free of duty. The Emperor of China has' heretofore strictly prohibited the introduction of modern machinery, as the result of which the Chinese are to-day using wooden plows similar to those made centuries ago. May it not be possible that American shoe machinery will find its way into the Celestial Empire? And it la beyond the comprehension of the ordinary individual to estimate as to what is likely to be tha result. It is said that the mill manufacturers in England are beginning to be alarmed by the transmission of cotton manufacture from Europe to Asia. The great trouble seems to be that there is no means by which England or America can meet the competition which is likely to come from Asia as the extension of knowledge and civili zation goes on, for the Asiatics, when they once learn to operate the im proved machinery which they will new be permitted to employ, will have such an abundance of labor available as to appall ordinary comprehension. Think of four hundred millions of Chinese and three hundred millions of Hindoos who have been accustomed to work for ten cents a day and less! A3 Matthew Marshall said recently: "These people will constitute a new mine of human labor as extensive and valuable as were the fertile lands of America when it was first discovered or the gold fields of California and Aus tralia." This may be all right for those who will utilize the labor, but how about the Americans and Euro peans with whom they will compete in products? THE SUMMER GIRL. A Little Tan, a Callous Heart, New Slang," Is What She Shows. It is safe to allege that the average summer girl in this country has been doing all she ought to do in the way of dancing, prancing, gadding, going, working, and generally spending her vital powers in the autumn, winter and spring immediately preceding, and con sequently when summer comes needs, quite as much as her parents, physical, mental and moral ozone. But what does she prefer to do? Whither is she bent on leading her father by the nose with the assistance of her mother? To various places, ac cording to her special predilection, and the farthest limit of the parental purse. If possible, to one of the gayest water ing places, where she hopes to bathe, play tennis, walk, talk and drive dur ing the day; paddle, stroll or sit out during the evening and dance until 12 o'clock at night two or three times a week. Else to some much advertised mountain cataract or lake resort, to lead a stagnant hotel corridor and piaz za life, in the fond hope of seeing the vividly imagined Him alight from the stage coach some Saturday night. Meanwhile she is one of three-score for lorn girls who haunt the office and make eyes at the hotel clerk. The summer girl has a mania for the sum mer hotel. It seems to open to her radiant possibilities. She kindles at the mention of a hop in August, and if she is musical the tingle of her piano playing reverberates through the house all day until the other boarders are driven nearly crazy. And so it goes all summer. When autumn comes and the leaf is about to fall and Dorothy returns to town, what has she to show for it? A little tan and callous heart, a promised winter cor respondence with the hotel clerk, new slang, some knack at banjo-playing, and considerable uncertainty in her mind as to whom she is engaged to, or whether she is engaged at all. The Poor Bishop. A well-known bishop, who take3 a prominent interest in everything af fecting the working classes, wishing to judge for himself what a journey in a workman's carriage was like, took a ticket and joined the miscellaneous crowd who fill these trains on the Great Eastern Railway, says a London paper. After a most undignified struggle for a seat he found himself jammed in be tween a navvy, smoking a strong black pipe, on his right, and an artist in house painting, smelling strongly of his craft, and carefully balancing a can of green paint, on his left hand. In addition to apprehensions for the safe balance of thi3 can and the very unpleasant odors arising, the good bishop was much shocked by the bad language which garnished the conversation of hi3 neighbors. After a particularly strong expression from the navvy, the bishop, touching him gently, inquired: "My good man, please tell me where you learn the language you have just made use of?" The navvy replied, with a suspicion of pride in his tone: "Learn it, guv' nor! You can't learn it. It's a gift that's wot it is!" The Smallest Woman. It is thought that the smallest living woman is Miss Isabella Pinder, of Spanish Wells, on the Bahama Islands. She is 35 years of age, 36 inches tall, and weighs less than 50 pounds.

Sax Fbakcisco, CaL, Aug. 12. A local paper says: A number of eastern capital ists are in this city at work on a scheme to reclaim the Colorado desert by turn ing the waters of the Colorado river over the vast territory. The company also has a grant of 1,500,000 acres in Mexico that it will irrigate. As outlined the- plan comprehends the development of the greatest irriga ting systems in the western hemisphere. As an indication of the good faith of the promoters they are said to have handed the Southern Pacific a check for $1,500, 000 in return for its title to tho alternate sections of land in the Salton basin. The land turned over amounted to about 600,000 aores. Principally eastern capitalists are behind the scheme. John Beatty is general manager of the com pany. Interested with Mr. Beatty in the enterprise are sucb men as James Lin ten and Henry A. Pierce of Providence, R. L, and R. J. McLean of New York. The importance ef the project lies in the fact that the irrigation of so vast a tract of iand will revolutionize the fruit industry of the country. Work will be begun soon, it is said, and water will be running through the trenches before the end of next year. The company expects to have 300.000 farmers on its land within a few years.

Since her Majesty came to the throne she has been the subject of six attacks, I but only three of them can be described as attempts on her life. The first at tack on the Queen occurred on Consti tution Hill, on June 10, 1S40, soon after her marriage, the assailant being a pot boy named Edward Oxford. Two years later, on-May 39, 1342, John Francis fired at the Queen when within a few feet of her carriage. This outrage also took place on Constitution Hill. In July of the same year a crack-brained lad named Bean leveled a loaded pistol at her Majesty, who was driving from Buckingham Castle to the Chapel Roy al, St. James, but the weapon missed fire. In May, 1850, Robert Pate, an ex lieutenant in the Hussars, as the royal carriage was emerging from the Duke of Cambridge's gate, struck the Queen with a stick, leaving a mark on her cheek and crushing her bonnet. In February, 1872, a youth named Arthur O'Connor presented an old and un loaded pistol at her Majesty as she was entering Buckingham Palace, and on March 2, 1882, a man named Roderick Maclean deliberately fired at the Queen as she was driving from Windsor Sta tion to the castle, but no damage was done.

September wheat opened Jc higher at 674 068, but ca bles were quiet, St Louis and New York weak, the government report indicated a heavy crop and one or two local houses sold freely while there was no support to speak of.

Furnished by Topeka tirain and Stock Ex change, Room 5, Columbian Building. Wheat ho'ders were astounded at the manner in which the country accepted the government crop report. An estimate of a total yield of winter and spring con siderably under 400,000,000 bushels under certain circumstances would unquestion ably have created some enthusiasm, but from the way the market acted very lit tle faith is put in the official statistics. They argued that the conditions of the spring wheat crop at present war rant more than 159,000,000, and proceeded to follow up this theory by rather free selling. From the northwest the advices re ceived were of a very favorable charac ter a3 to the outlook. Very few reports of damage were received. The profes sional element seemed to be arrayed on the bear side with ono or two exceptions, but the weight, as a whole, was just the other way. St. Louis receipts took a jump today and Bhowed slightly over last year. Then the English visible sup ply increased 1,270,000 bushels, offset ting the decrease of over half a million on this side. This re duction in the American visible today could not be construed otherwise than as a bullish factor, but it was without any effect whatever in the absence of sup porting orders. Some little wheat was worked here for export and New York reported seventeen loads there. Corn and Oats Corn was without friends today and there was a continua tion of the Saturday. Every month listed participated in the decline with September leading and selling down to 37a Long lines were sold out at a loss and professionals helped the work along by pounding everything from Sep tember to May. Government crop fig ures were bearish and weather condi tions all that could be desired. Oats were weaker in sympathy with corn. Provisions Very little trading in hog products. Prices at the yards were 510c lower on heavier receipts than expected. Cudahy was a moderate buy er of products. The close was very tame at lower prices than on Saturday. upaiL fiiyu .Low.

The four ports cleared for export wheat and flour 171,586 bushels. Chicago In July this year the falling off in the quantity of available supplies of wheat averaged 50 per cent heavier than in July, 1893. The falling off in supplies throughout the country for the month is the heaviest on record. The decrease in available wheat afloat for and in Europe last month was 12,000,0000 bushels. In the face of the record, this shrink age of 12 million bushels goes to em phacise previous reports of short sup plies of old wheat reduced exports and slowness with which new wheat is com ing to market. There is good demand for cash wheat 180,000 now reported as been sold for export here. Chicago Cudahy has been a larger buyer of pork today covering shorts very freely.

Seattle Press Times: Tho personal element ia largely disappearing from journalism. No respectable paper now thinks of attacking the personnel of the staff of another paper. Indeed, except the owner or editor of a paper is promi nent in publio life, apart from his news paper, the rule is never to refer to him. Quarrels between rival newspapers have been banished to the backwoods, and criticism of the opinions of other news papers Is becoming the exception instead of the rule, as it formerly was. Success ful newspapers are becoming less and lesB the organs of cliques and parties and becoming more independent in their tone and treatment of public questions. To persons educated in the school of ex treme partisanship that is supposed to indicate a lack of policy. They forget that independence is itself a policy. Newspapers with a mission are following women with a mission into the limbo of oblivion. The modern newspaper is a commercial enterprise and the aim of its management is to hold a mirror up to the every day life of the people and not erect a pulpit from which to thunder forth anathemas or pronounce benedic tions. Freedom of speech and of the press in this country is rapidly coming to mean freedom to starve also. The latest de velopment in this direction is the forced resignation of Professor Bemis of the Chicago university, because he espoused the Ciuse of the masses as against the Rockefellers and the Yorkese3. The large conriibuiions on the part of mil lionaires to the cause of learning will probably not be so greatly appreciated when the people realize, as they must soon do, that the object Is rather to re tard education than to advance it. These richly endowed places of learning, it seems, are intended to keep the youth of the country in the old ruts rather than as aidi to progress. The universities seem to be no place for men of intelli gence, originality, or genius. When politics does net drive them out the in terests of the moneyed classes do.

A PICTURE OF HADES. Edith Sessions Tupper Describes the Worst Place on Earth. GOOD PLACE FOR LOST SOULS. There is So Water or shade There.but Ic Kevels In ila JUonsters. Me or pieaa, Tarantula. Rata and Huch, Barstow, Cal., Aug. 10. As the train shoots across the Mohave desert, that most desolate and sterile waste, with its awful monotony, its drear expanse of sand and alkali, unbroken 6a vo for the stretch of rails glittering in the burning sun, you -wonder if anywhere on earth there can be a more desolate and terri ble region. Saying this to a grizzled old native, an Arizonian of 40 years' experience, who had come on the train at the Nee dles and who had told me many inter esting stories of hardship and hairbreath escapes, he replied "Yes, mom" (ev erybody says "yes, mom," and "no, mom," in this country), "there ia. Wait till we git ter Daggett, an I'll p'int out a section of country that leads right in ter the jaws of death an the mouth of helL" Hades Pointed Ont. And when later we stepped on to the platform of the railroad station at this desert camp my friend pointed away to the varicolored Calico mountains and said earnestly: "Thar, mom. Beyond them peaks lies belli" Gratified as I was to have the place located, I was a bit startled as I asked, "What do you mean?'" "Death valley," replied my guide, the awfulest spot on earth. Thar hain't no human critter can stand the horrors of that country. It's alive with snakes an vermin, the worst ye ever see sud den death, sure thins; reptiles. Hot! I tell ye thar hain't but one place hotter. An it's ha'nted by the brave fellers who have gone plumb, clean mad tryin ter face it, an who have died an baked an scorched thar. I had of course read and heard of this terrible waterless desert, but until the hardy old veteran's solemn manner and vigorous English had set it before me it had made no impression. Now, how ever, I became interested and asked many questions. Mo Shade, No Breeze, No Water. Death valley lies in the southeast cor ner of California, close to the Nevada line. It is 8 miles broad by 35 lorjg and comprises 300 square miles of such des olation as wonld make a Siberian steppe or Lybian desert seem a paradise. On the west tower the Telescope mountains, and the east is shut away by the Fu neral mountains, an appropriately named rampart for the valley of the ehadow of death. Parched, scorchins, HOLDING HIS. TATTERED CLOTHING HIGH ABOVE HIS HEAD. suffocating, lies the arid, awful plain, unmarked by any vegetation save the scraggy, fierce cactus. From the salt and lava beds here and there oozes a hor rible liquid which has maddened and poisoned many a hardy adventurer, caus ing his bones to bleach on the burning sand and become merely a playhouse for rattlesnakes, scorpions and the deadly Gila monster. Shut in by these awful mountains, with an interminable stretch of burning sand underfoot, no shade, no cooling breezes, no water, with only hideous reptiles for companions, what wonder men have gone mad, babbling as they died of the sparkling pools of water they saw in their path I The scene is said to be a weird and awful study in black and white -tho black of the frowning mountains, the white of the burning sand, which in various places is heaped in high monnds by the furious blasts which swoop down from the heights. Then there is the fiendish "self rising" earth, as they call it out here, which curves and puffs up as far as one may see, as if invisible yeast were foaming and working be neath it. Whoever steps upon this treach erous quicksand is lost. It ia but a crust over a horrible slimy swamp of salt mud. Nothing more awful than this "shuddering sand" can be imagined. Another section is called the salt earth, consisting of millions of sharply point ed pinnacles of salt, harder than stone, like cruel, glistening steel instruments. Tempted and Were Lost. What would ever tempt one to enter this accursed place? The rich fields of borax have Toeen the bait which have lured men to their doom in this barren valley. Scientists say it was once a lake impregnated with solutions of sodium, from which come the deposits of salt and borax. It is undoubtedly of volcan io origin. Its doleful name was given it back in the days of the argonauts. In those early days of the excitement following the discovery cf gold in California thou sands of gold seekers made their way overland by every available route. One of these led through Salt Lake City and across a thousand miles of alkali plains and desert that lay between the Mormon settlement and the Sierra Nevada moun tains. One party, numbering about 70, including women and children, was in duced to deflect southward from the reg ular trail across Nevada in the belief that more abundant water would thus be found and the perils of the long jour ney much abated. But it proved a trail to death. The oxen died of thirst and starvation, and one after another of the party perished on the sands of the cruel, implacable desert. At last they reached the summit of the Funeral range. Look ing down into the valley below them, they saw a great body of water, as they believed, but on descending they found they were the victims of a mirage, and that what they had fancied was watet was only the reflection of the sun on alkali marshes. All the party but two men, Bennett and Stockton, perished, madly seeking water. The story is mora terrible from the fact that subsequent prospectors discovered fresh water springs not very far from where the un fortunates died. In 1891 the region was scientifically explored by naturalists employed by the United States department of agricul ture. They reported that some of the noblest mountain peaks in the world are there visible, but the traveler might as well leap into the crater of a volcano as to venture within the awful vale. The record of deaths shows that the victims are always seized with delusions about water. My Arizonian friend told me that a rescuing party found one poor man walking about stripped and hold ing his tattered clothing high above his head. As they approached him he called to them to look out, the water was very deep, and when they came up to him he clutched at them as a drowning man would. In 1880 a party of Frenchmen at tempted to cross the valley. All sturdy fellows, they scouted the idea of peril. They took, as they fancied, plenty of water, but before they were half way across it gave out. Crazed with thirst, they cut the throats of their burros and drank their blood. Four escaped, but several died. The leader of the expedi tion never recovered from his frightful experience, but was so affected by the memory of his torture that he blew out his brains. There are no birds in this neighbor hood save the weird, mysterious raven, whose ominous voice fitly croaks tho fatal entrance of those who brave the terrors of the valley. Howling coyotes add their harsh cries to the sum of hor rors about the place. Curious reptiles, uncanny and hobgoblin in appearance, are found here. The most deadly crea ture next to the Gila monster is what the natives call a "side winder" snake, which is peculiar to this desolate desert. It is a rattler about 20 inches long, which moves from side to side with a startling spring instead of gliding along. Moreover, it baa horns, and I don't know but hoofs too. It is assuredly of the evil one. Scorpions, tarantulas, rats, horned toads and gnats lend their aids to render Death valley the most appall ing place on earth. There are mice, too mice which live upon centipeds and there are rats with huge ears, a sight to scare the dogs. Remarkable Effects. There is no humidity in the place. The frizliri? heat, which rerr-ains in the neighborhood of 150 in the shade all the time, produces remarkable effects. Wood falls apart; chairs and wagons and barrels drop to pieces within a few minutes. No one can support life an hour without water. A terrible story is told of the exploring party of 1871. The commander, Lieutenant Wheeler, called his guide up and ordered him to cross the valley on foot. On the guide's re monstrating two soldiers were ordered to start him with fixed bayonets. Before an hour had passed one soldier crawled into the camp more dead than alive. The other was found by a rescuing party, but the wretched guide had wandered away beyond help, and one more victim was added to the roll which the ghastly, ghoulish spot calls for every year. In the adjoining country about Death valley are found many traces of former occupation by a civilized people. In one range of mountains is a lofty perpen dicular cliff of limestone over 250 feet in height and having a smooth surface. About 100 feet from the base of this cliff are cut a cross and the letters X L D. They are at least 60 feet in height and can be readily seen from a great distance. The Indians have no traditions concerning them, and the accepted be lief is that they were carved by the Jesuit priests who in 1633 established missions to the south in Arizona. To cut these letters on the face of this great cliff man must have erected a 6caffoId 100 feet high or have been let down 150 feet from the top of the cliff. Ghosts There Too. But Death valley that place in which, Dante might have laid the scene of hi3 "Inferno" and among whose noisome va pors, slimy pools, hideous reptiles and heaps of dead men's bones the pencil o Dore would have reveled has yet other horrors. The terrors of the daytime ar9 as nothing, it is said, to the unknown and awful influences abroad at night. My Arizonian lowered his voice as he spoke of the ghostly shapes and appari tions that walk there, the fearful moan3 and sighs that float upon the hot 6irocc5 breath of midnight. "Ha'nted" is the frightful valley by the most dreadful specters, from whose open mouths pro truding tongues loll in search of one drop of cooling water and whose parch ed heads split apart with the terrific heat. There is one awful phantom that rides its horse with a canteen in its bony hand, putting it to its fleshless lips again and again to find it empty and to drop it with a heartreniing moan. This ap parition has been seen time and again by those who have ventured near the valley at the hour when graveyards yawn. Indeed, take it all in all, one might search the whole world round and not find another such spot which from its situation, its surroundings, its hor rors and its shadows would so aptly cor respond to one's conception of a place for lost souls.

TATE JOURNAL,, MONDAY EVENING AUGUST 12, i895. 5 SHALL WE HAVE RACES Our Local Horse Men "Want a Ten Year Lease OF THE STATE FAIR GROUNDS. If They Can Make It Thy Propeae to Build a Kite Tract and 31ake Ureat Improvements. There will be no race meeting given la Topeka this fall by the association that gave the last year's meeting. But a new organization ia making arrangements to hold a meeting on. the date claimed by the abandoned association. The story of the troubles of last year's bodj is a long one. The association was rent by internal disseniohs and as a house divided against itself cannot stand, it succumbed. This was the primary cause of the disruption of the body, though a meeting was agreed on and has been declared oil for other reasons. The association decided to hold a meet ing this year, claimed the dates Sept. 17 to 20, and spent $200 in advertising. They applied to the county commission ers for the fair grounds and secured the track. Then when Topeka was trying to get the state encampment for the same week the grounds were promised to those having it in charge. On learning this the race association immediately declared its meeting olf and so notified the horse man. Now, if the county commissioners do notegree to a proposition which the new association has made them, Topeka will be out a race meeting altogether. The new body is made up of members of the old organization who have not taken an active part in this year's plans, and other citizens. Among them are E. G. Moon, George Burghart, Dr. Prit criard, John R Price, Colonel Burgess, Hank Lindsey, John Lonberg, Arthur Massey, George Wolfe, and others. They have asked the commissioners for the lease of the grounds for ten years. If this is granted, the new organization proposes to go in on a big scale, buiding a mile track and improving the grouuds. The disunions of the abandoned as sociation may be sta;ed as follows. Twenty men paid in $20 each and agred to pay 2j0 each should the meeting prova a failure. At a subsequent meet ing at which there was a quorum, eleven, it was resolved to incorporate. When the race meeting waa over the officers offered each member his $20 or four shares of stock instead. Those who took their $20 were counted oat of the asso ciation, it seems, as the officers would give them no accounting of the finances when asked, holding that they wera not forced to account to any one but stock holders. The meeting proved a success by a $500 margin, it ia understood, and this was held as a guarrantee fund for this yeir's races. Tim commissioners ara expected to make an answer to the new organiza tion's proposition shortly. A meeting of the race men will be heid this evening. COXEY SPEAKS HERE. He Will Males An Address at Hamilton Hair Friday Night. General Jacob S. Coxey will lecture in Topeka next Friday evening. The Popu list league has with some trouble secured that date, as the famous leader will be on bis return trip from Ft. Worth, Texas, An attempt will be made to have the wheelmen in Topeka turn out to welcome Coxey because of his advocacy of "Good Roads' Wheelmen from all over the state will be here and the local managers think a demonstration may be made. BUSINESS HOUSES CLOSE On Friday tht Big- Iny of the Bicyclists Meet.

It gives programmes of a musical and literary character. It is nothing unusual to see a Topeka policeman riding down the street on a bicycle. Several of the force know how to ride, and they avail themselves of their opportunities. There is a man in the dity who was a Bcout on the western plains for fifteen years, and during that time was awarded 44 medals for superior marksmanship and five for bravery. The next time a base ball team is started in Topeka it might be a good thing to enclose the grounds in canvas.

H. W. McAfee thinks that he Bhould be allowed to sell his cider from the wagon at the corner of Sixth and Kan sas avenue, having purchased a peddlers' license. Captain Gardner thinks differ ently. He gave orders that Mr. McAfee be arrested, and Officer McEIroy took him in charge. This morning Mr. McAfee showed hia peddlers' license to the court, but the judge told him that he would have to get a stand license also, if he wished to sell his cider by the drink on the street corner. If Mr. McAfee gets a stand license, he need not come down to the police court tomorrow morning; but if he don't there is no telling bow mad Judge Ferry and Prosecutor Bird will get at him. WAS THIS THE REASON? A Peculiar Stery Told by Discharged Asylum Attendants. Attendants Bolnig and Decker, who have just been discharged from the To peka insane asylum, tell a very strange story connected with their discharge. Both men were subscribers to the State Journal, and their papers were always delayed and it was often 9 o'clock at night before they received them. The men, entered a complaint that some one waa using their papers and put up a pri vate box for the delivery of the papers. A day or two afterward they received notice of their discharge. CAPT, DODDS IN JAIL, The Salvation Army Leader Placed tinder Arrest. HE WILL HOT PAY HIS FI5E. The Trouble Originate In an Attack by Cape Dortda on a Tsaag Han Wht Mas Inlaw fully Wearing an Army Badge. Capt. J. W. Dodda, who has charge of the Salvation lassies and cadets In this city, now languishes in jail, and he says he will stay there and rot before he will pay his five dollar fine. The captain is a good bud, bat like all men, he has his weak momenta. But the worst part of it is that he doesn't think he was in the wrong ia the case just settled. To add to hia discomfiture he was arrested on Sunday afternoon. The whole trouble was over a Jewish tramp who came to the city eometime Sat urday, lis was very poorly dressed, and was suffering for food. He wore a Salvation Army badge on his blouse, and that is where the trouble started. Some of Capt. Dodd's cadets found the lad begging for something to eat They questioned him in regard to the badge. He told them that he was from Den ver, that he had bought the badge and that he was going to wear it He was not a member or. the Army, he said The cadets corralled him into Capt Dodd's house, which the Salvationists term the "garrison." There, t' e boy was qnest'onei by the captain, itiatttrs came to a head by the captain throwing the boy upon the floor and tearing the badge off the blouse. He then let the boy up and told him to get out of town or he would have him ar rested The boy left, but the captain followed, in hot pursuit As the boy was nearing Seventh and Jackson streets the captain called to some colored men to stop him. The men did so, and the rather fleshy captain came puffing up and ordered an officer to the place. George Hapgood and Dr. Huatoon were soon upon the ground of ac tion, and parted the captain from the boy. The former had taken a paper from the lad. Serjeant Donovan was there in quick time and he arrested them both and booked them as disturbers of the peace. Captain Dodds would not give up the paper until the sergeant raised his club in a dangerous manner. The paper was found to be a pass which the Salvation Army issues to its mem bers. The boy had been a member of the Army in Denver, but to use his own words: "i backslid, and wasn't a soldier any longer." When Dr. Huntoon told what he knew of the case to Judge Ferry this morning, capt uoaas interrupted him often. I his nettled the doctor and he said: "If I were outside, I would call you a liar. I won't be contradicted here. "It's a lie." Some of the cadets testified, but it must have been that they didn't pay very close attention, for they didn't give very satis factory testimony. Then Jude Ferry said, "Probably this boy hasn't any right to wear that badge, but at the same time you had no right to take the law in your on hands and take the badge off the boy, if it is against the forms of Vouf church, you have redress in the law. I fine you 5." "I'll go to jail first," said the captain. And he did. He sat back with the prisoners with a defiant look upon his face. This didn't work on Jailor Disbrow's feelings a bit, though. The boy, whose name ia Louis Schneider man, was discharged. The police got a coat for him to wear in the place of the one that the captain tore olf him. They also gave him underclothes and shoes, and he was made happy. Captain Dodds is a large man, with rather a benevolent countenance and a quick temper. HURLED AGAINST A POST. St. Joseph Travelling Man Suffers From Trollpy Car Accident. Annother man has tried to get oS the electric cars on the left side, and as a re sult he ia nursing some very troublesome bruises. The unfortunate man is Mr. K. It, Mokel, a traveling man from St Jo seph.

A Convict Whipped With a Huge Strap Till Blood Sported Out. Atlanta, Qa., Aug. 12. Harvey Merritt, recently pardoned out of the penitentiary, has entered suit for heavy damages against the penitentiary company. Merritt recites a horrible story of inhuman and cruel treatment as the basis of his action. He was in for 12 years, but was pardoned after serving nine years because he was no longer use ful to the lessee. While working for the Chattahoochie Brick Co., and in the coal mines of the lessee in Walker county, he alleges that he was at frequent times beaten with inhuman savagery. Sixty to seventy licks on the naked back, he says, with a three pound strap was no unusual pun ishment. At one time he was given 175 lashes, the blood spurting forth at each blow. After this particular beating he at tempted to escape, was recaptured and he recites the horrible details of the beating he received.

UKE Mini. AND UKB StFEKlOH TKANS. CO. Rush and N. Water St Chicago A NEW ENGLISH PARTY. Liberal Party Threatened with a Third Movement. Not since the chartist agitation col lapsed nearly fifty years ago, has the Liberal party In England been threat ened with a third-party movement which has caused the whips of the lib eral party anything like the uneasiness they are now feeling in connection with the independent labor party. This or ganization has now nineteen candi dates In the field at work, in view of the dissolution, and it threatens that every one of them shall go to the poll. It ig led by Keir Hardle, already in the House of Commons, as the representa tive of one of the outlying working class constituencies of London. The new party holds that the English working classes must look to them selves for a solution of the problems in which labor is interested, and to this end its speakers, wherever they can get a hearing, urge the working classes to put themselves outside both the exist ing political parties, and to aim at hold ing the balance of power in the con stituencies and in the House of Com mons. As a national organization the Independent labor party has now been in existence for about three years. Summed up briefly, the new party is in politics for national maDhood and womanhood suffrage, payment of members of parliament and of all members of public bodies, and the general democratization of tha whole system of municipal and nation al government. It also demands a legal eight-hour day, the compulsory abolition of overtime and pieee work, the prohibition of the employment of children under 14 years of age, pro vision outside the workhouses for tbe sick, disabled, and aged out of the taxes on unearned incomes, state pensions for all over 50 years of age, fee and unsec tarlan education, primary, secondary, and university, remunerative work for the unemployed, and the substitution of arbitration for war. These are the planks of the platform upon which the independent labor party candidates will stand at the general election. Tha nineteen candidates who are now in the field are all assigned to industrial constituencies in which but for .their presence liberal and radical candidates would have good chances of election. Many of the seats to be contested by tha pary, as in the case of John Morley'B at Newcastle, have long been held by Liberals, whose return would otherwise be as certain as anything can be in. English politics. The Liberal party has now given up any idea of com promise with the independent la bor men. Their only hope is that the majority of the candidates will not be able to find tha sum of 200 or 300 which It costs to contest a parlia mentary constituency. From any point of view the new party introduces a treat element of uncertainty into tha approaching election. Subscribe for .the Daily State Jockkaj,

A Topeka "Jonrnal" Woman Sees the Oama Sw to Topeka. To the uninitiated a game of cricket resembles more than anything else, a Chinese puzzle, and, like a Chinese play, it sort of seems to go on forever, though men may come and go. And that ie what they do, too, prin cipally as the scoring is accomplished by the two men who bat at. the same time, coming and going, exchanging places whenever the ball is struck or is thrown far enough away. It is necessary to witness more than one .game of the sport to get thoroughly on to the bowler's curves. The bowler in pricket is the pitcher in base ball. At the game Saturday afternoon out near "Washburn college, where the elevens were made np almost entirely from the Santa Fe office forces, Mr. E. J. Shake shaft, whom the public knows in connec tion with tickets more than wicKets, was wicket keeper, and the man who attempt ed the task of explaining the game to a Journal reporter says he ia a good one. Though the reporter learned some of the terms, several more games must be witnessed in order to thoroughly under stand the significance of a "bye," a "sent in," a "hit," a "wide," or an "overthrow." A "bye" is said to be similar to a pass ed ball in base baiL One of the batters, Mr. Wilton, missing a ball, fell flat on his back from the force of the blow, and the reporter innocently asked if that were an overthrow, to the great amusement of Mr. Nicoll and Mr. Richard Shakeshaft, who were kindly acting as coachers to the reporter, not the players. The only thing about cricket that re sembles a home run or creates anything like the same enthusiasm is called a double run, several of which were made by the best players. The bowler makes a running throw which resembles the proverbial style in which a woman throws at a hen. The wicket keeper, who is the catcher of base ball, wears sort of piaster of paris casta on his legs from just above the knees reaching to his feet All of one side fields when the other side bats, and after every five balls bow lers change positions, as do the fielders. Among the good fielders Mr. Nat Black is best. A small, but enthusiastic crowd wit nessed the game, which consisted of two innings. A cricket game, by the way, can be called for as many innings as the players please. The sides were under the captaincy of Mr. William Atkinson and Mr. E, J. Shakeshaft, and the best players were these gentlemen themselves, Mr. Fuller, D. Soiibrook, Mr. Richard Shakeshaft, Mr. Nat Black, Mr. turncock, Mr. Hugh Black and Dr. W. N. West. Cricket promises to prove most popu lar in Topeka. SHOriilKL A3D PEERESS. Hoir r.ady Xudley Hose from Obscurity to Her Iresent Social Position. "Shopgirl and Peeress; or.

Miss Gurney's father was quite well to do at one time and was a partner in the Gurney bank, but reverses overtook him and he lost all his property. In this emergency Mrs. Gurney opened a millinery store in London, and her two daughters assisted her. The busi ness failed to prove profitable, however, and the two girls were compelled to become assistant saleswomen in the shop of Mme. Elise, the Regent street modiste. While they were thus em ployed Lady Henry Somerset and her sister, the Duchess of Bedford, heard their story, and kindness of heart led them to adopt the girls. Rachel became the daughter of the Dachess of Bedford and iu about a year was married to Lord Dudley. Her sister became Lady Somerset's adopted daughter and is now Lady Trowbridge. Previous to his matrimonial venture Lord Dudley had been devoting his en ergies mainly to sowing a large crop of wild oats, but marriage to Rachel Gur ney seemed to have a sobering effect on the lively young earl. His natural com mon sense came to his rescue, and he is now an active and successful politician, a clever parliamentary debater and a shrewd business man. The value of his vast mining interests has nearly dou bled since he began to look after his af fairs with more care, and his talents have won for him a small parliamentary office under the Salisbury regime re cently inaugurated. Rachel Gurney is said to be the only peeress of the realm who was a bona fide shopgirl, but judg ing from the reformation she has effect ed in Lord Dudley he might easily have aimed higher matrimonially and fared worse.

This new aquarium fish was first brought to Germany by an enthusiast a. year ago and was successfully prop agated last summer. We saw the origi nal imported fish, with their fry. Our picture, which we reproduce from Natur und Haus, is a good representa tion. The fish attains a size of about five inches in length by two inches in width. The general appearance is that of a sunfish; the ground color of the body, which is entirely covered with small scales similar in size to those of the Paradise fish, is a brassy yellow marked with a number of irregular vertical bars or stripes of black; the dorsal and anal fins are large and long, being composed of a great many rays of which about one-third are spinous; they are black in color; at times, how ever, when the fish is excited, the yel low of the body becomes brighter and runs in streaks into the black dorsal! fin, making this appear as if it was a' continuation of the body; the ventral fin is colorless and transparent; thai caudal fin is rounded. The eyes are: yellow, flashing like fire on some oeea-; 6ions, and resembling those of the moss bass. The fish is very attractive, especially, when excited, it reminds one of a her ald of the middle ages, whose dress used to display the colors of their mas ters in stripes. At other times the fish1 will assume a very plain grayish color with only one irregular black spot on each side of the body, midways and near the ends of the dorsal and anal fins. Young specimens show these pe culiar markings even more distinctly than the adults. The habits of the zebrafish are very much like those of our moss bass; they are very pugnacious and display tho same motions when attacking one an other as the moss bass do, but their point of attack is the mouth, and if they succeed in grasping it, they hold firmly, like much fighting male Paradise fish do, until the weaker gives up. But-al-though they fight a great deal we have not yet seen one that was seriously hurt. They seem to be on friendly terms again soon after. Their breeding habits, too, are much like those of the sunfish family. They pair off during the summer and prepare a nest on the bottom of the tank, where the female deposits her eggs, which both guard. Four days after spawn ing the young hatch. These are as carefully guarded as the eggs were, and later on the fry'are instructed for their future career by both parents, who swim about with them as a hen walks around with her chicks. We find that the zebrafish stand captivity well, immensely enjoying their meals, consisting of scraped raw beef or I. X. L. fish food. Their native home is La Plata valley. The South Americans call them "Chanehitos," which means "pig," either because in form they are somewhat like that animal or because they fight in a manner similar to young pigs. In Germany the name "chame leon fish" is proposed, owing to the ability of the fish to change its colors. This, however, we consider no denom inative feature, as nearly all of our sunfishes, and also the Chinese Paradise fish, possess this ability, in cases even to a greater extent than the zebrafish does. We selected the latter name for them because we find that through their color and stripes this fish resem bles a zebra more than anything else, especialty when the fish are most bril liant in colors and the yellow appears in the dorsal fin, then even the mark ings of the mane of the zebra are repre sented. Rice Soup a la Creme. A rice soup that is valuable in these high priced meat days is made without stock. Let two quarts of water, in which an onion has been sliced and a bunch of celery tops thrown, boil for an hour; remove the onion and leaves, and add a half cup of rice that has been carefully washed and looked over. Cook for three-quarters of an hour, stirring often, or until the rice is well swollen and tender. Just before serv ing beat up in the tureen itself the yolks of two eggs, with half a tumbler ful of rich milk cream is better and a pinch of nutmeg, if liked. Pour the boiling soup over this mixture from a height, beating it still with a whisk, to mix all thoroughly, and serve with toast squares. How to Relievo Colic. For relieving colic one eminent physi cian recommends simple bicarbonate of soda, of which one-half teaspocnf ul is to be dissolved in half a tumblerful of water, and a teaspoon ful of the solu tion given to the infant every fifteen minutes. This, by the way, is a very good preventive of colic, and may be safely administered half a dozen times a day to children predisposed to the trouble. In addition to giving this sim ple medicine, the abdomen should be gently massaged with the hand, the movement being from right to left; or, if this fails to alleviate the distress, hot flannels may be applied to the stomach and bowels. How to Clean Nickel Ware. The best cleaning compound for nickel ware is fifty parts of alcohol and one of sulphuric acid. The article to be cleaned is held in the solution five to fifteen seconds, after which it is washed with water, rinsed with alcohol and wiped dry with a'clean rag. The dirtiest of nickel goods is said to come out with a bright, new look BRAZILIAN ZEBRAFISH. HOUSEHOLD METAL WORK. Favorite and Effective Cleaning Agenta For Brass, Copper, Tin and Steel. It may not be out of place to consider ome of the best ways of cleaning the numerors metal objects that are cf ne cessity used in most households. Silver plate, which naturally comes first, may be passed with brief mention, as any housewife already knows the value of frhitening and silver soap in this con nection. By the bye, silver which ia washed each day iu hot suds and dried with soft linen cloth and rubbed with chamois requires but little extra clean ing with whiting,' jewelers' soap or oth er special cleaning medium. Brass and copper articles may bo roughly divided into two classes those lacquered and those left unlacquered. The lacquered articles ought not to be scoured, but simply dusted from time to time. With careful treatment these will retain their luster for a long time, and when it becomes tarnished the sim plest way to renew the brightness is to have the articles relacquered. Implements of brass or copper that are much used, as a rule, are not lac quered, and to these attention is now directed. Avoid all cleaning mediums containing corrosive acids for brass. Ia the shops one finds a red paste which, in conjunction with elbow grease, pro duces a fine polish. There is, however, nothing really better than rotten stone and oil finely sifted rotten stone and good sweet oil. None of the polishing fluids or pastes or soaps can compare with it. These latter day nostrums cer tainly clean more quickly, but things cleaned with them tarnish again much sooner than things cleaned in simpler ways. Brass fenders may be cleaned either in one piece, or better still if taken to pieces by unscrewing the screws. A soft rubber of blanket or flannel wrapped round a piece of wood or cork dipped in oil, wrung out and powdered over with rotten s'tone, will soon polish up tho flat portions. Round portions, such as knobs and bars, are the best cleaned by passing round them a band of flan nel, moistened as above, pulling the ends alternately. Coal scuttles and any repousse articles such as kettles and bellows can be cleaned by brushing with the same compound or with am monia. Brush all traces of the rotten stone or paste out of the recesses. The same applies to brass candlesticks, trays and waiters. Stair rods can be cleaned by making a thick pad of felt, anointed with rotten stone and oil, to shut like a book. The rods must then be inserted and worked in and out for half their length, then reversed and treated similarly for the other end. All brass things should be finished first by rub bing with an oiled or vaselined rag and then by rubbing with a leather. To se cure a good effect, rubbing should all be in one direction. Cross rubbing never gives a good result. Copper may bo cleaned in exactly the same way as brass, though at times very fine emery powder maybe required to give the best results. Tinned waro looks very nice when new, but the vigorous scouring it often receives from the ignorant soon wears through the thin coating of tin and leaves the iron underneath exposed to view and to atmospheric action. Whit ing with plain water, or else with am monia, is the best for such ware, only the angles and recesses must be brushed to remove all traces. If the iron under neath is exposed, retinning may be nec essary. Such ware should be carefully dried inside to prevent the chance of rusting. Steel fire irons, fenders, etc., are best cleaned with emery powder and oiL After cleaning and polishing they should be rubbed over with an oiled rag and then rubbed up again. To preserve them from rust it is a good plan to rub on vaseline. Another favorite cleansing agent is bath brick. Two pieces may be rubbed down, and the resulting powder eif ted and mixed with sweet oil or with paraffin oil. When rust has once got hold of steel goods, it is difficult to eradicate it, especially when, like fend ers, they are usually in a direct draft. Alice Vaesum. Meat In Hot Weather. To keep meat a long time in hot weather, according to directions given in a Philadelphia exchange, proceed a3 follows As soon as the animal heat is out slice as for cooking. Prepare a stone jar by scalding with hot salt and water, mix salt and saltpeter in the proportion of a tablespoonful of saltpeter to a tea cupful of salt, sprinkle the bottom of the jar with the prepared salt and pep per, put in a layer of meat, then a sprinkle of salt and pepper, season just as if for the table, continue until all the meat is in. Wet a folded cloth in cold salt and saltpeter water, wring out and press closely over the meat, put on an other dry cloth, cover closely and put in a cool place. Occasionally change the cloths, and as the meat is taken out keep the inside of the jar wiped clean. Embroidery on Scrim. A design furnished by Modern Pris cilla shows an effective trimming for a scrim apron or scarf. It should be work- HOW TO TAKE THE STITCHES. ed in Asiatic twisted embroidery silk. The illustration shows how all th8 stitches are taken through the center hole of the square, and one to each mesh of the scrim at the edge. This pattern is best worked in a frame, to prevent drawing. A NOVELTY IN SULKIES. The votaries of trotting' are Just now interested in a new and somewhat novel style of sulky Ifor harness racing, which the inventor claims will prove to be almost as great an improvement lover the present pneumatic vehicle as the latter has been shown to be in comparison with thn Ihigh-wheel sulky that was in use prior to 1S92. The new contrivance is the work of a well fknown Hartford horseman, and its design is so well set forth in the accompanying illustration jfrom the Hartford Courant that scarcely any further description seems necessary in order to .enable horsemen to lorm an opinion as to the merits of the invention. One of the chief advan tages claimed by this Yankee notion is that it relieves the horse of much of the usual draught '.incident to any sulky -which he is forced to drag along behind him. Every trainer recognizes ;the fact that the closer he can hitch his bike to his horse the lighter the draught will be, land it is to this knowledge that the extremely high truss axle now in use is due. THE UNITED STATES STEAMSHIP "HARTFORD," As she will appear when rebuilt and modernized. The loss of tho Kcarsarge last February so accentuated the value of the Hartford as one of the last of our war-time relics that congress, by act approved July 0, 1894. appropriated $150. 000 with which to begin the work of rebuilding and modernizing that vessel, says Harper's Weekly. As much of the structural part of the present vessel as will answer will remain, but for the greater portion the new ship will bo more strictly a patriotic setting for fragments en deared by the traditions of a fearful ordeal. The old lines will be adhered to, and when finished the bark for such will be her rig will be 215 feet long on her lead water iine, 44 feet beam at greatest breadth, with a displacement of 2,7W) tons, and a draueht of a trifle over 13 feet. With the modern engines of 2.000 horsepower which are to be installed, she will attain an estimated speed of twelve knots under steam alone. Her batteries, like her machinery, will be strictly modern, and will be composed of thirteen 5-inch breech-loading rifles of theorapid-fire type in the main batterv, twelve on the gun-deck, and. one cn the forecastle, and of four 6-pouuder and two 10-pounder ranid-fire euns. disposed on the poop, forecastle, and spar-decks, in tha secondary battery. The heaviest guns the vessel carried in 13G2 were 9-inch muzzle-loading smooth-bores, throwing a 70 pound shot with a muzzle energy of 847 foot-tons; but her intend ed 6-inch guns will fire a 50-pound projectile with double that force, and with a frequency fead power many times greater than of old. When rebuilt she will be used as a training ship. MAJOR-GENERAL WESLEY MERRITT, U. S. A., Commanding the Department of the Missouri with Headquarters at Chicago.

''1 thick that the real estate business in Topeka will improve this fall, for there is a demand for Topeka property," said E. W. Benedict. James Hatfield has purchased the lota next to Rev. L. Blakesley, near the cor ner of Eighth and Polk, and is building: a handsome two story house. He will move here from Valley Falis to educate his children. Mr. Benedict says that there are oth ers from neighboring towns who will do the same thing. One man from Jo Her eon county has recently purchased two lots on Western avenue and built two large frame houses. 6. SI. Wood says that ha finds that real estate business is improving, and he has made more sales in the past month than for some time before. Among those re cently made are the following: J. D. Norton has bought the house owned by ex-Secretary of State Allen, at 618 West Eighth street, for $5,000. J. M. Whitehead has purchased the Peasley property, at 616 Taylor street, owned by Mrs. Faulkner of Rockford, IiL, for 6,000. The Mrs. Congdon property, at 806 West Eighth street, has been sotd to G, W.

The Mission township Populists are very angry, and they said a great many uncomplimentary things about their county central committee at an indigna tion meeting held Saturday at Elevation. When the date for the county conven tion was fixed the basis of representation was made on the vote cast for Governor Lewelling. The Populists in the country say that was dons with no other inten tion than to take the control of the con vention away from them and turn it over to the city Populists. They say that nearly all the Democrats in the city voted for Lewelling, and when that vote is made the basis the city delegates will unjustly be in the majority, while if the basis had been made on the vote on Pop ulist county officers it would be the true Populist vote and the country would con trol. A lively time may be expected at the convention on September 14. FOR BERGMAN'S PARDON. Emma Desmond, Anarchist, Is Working for Prick's Assailant. Pittsburg, Pa., August 12. Emma Desmond of New York, an anarchist of national notoriety is in this locality. The main object of her visit as far as could be learned, was to help a movement to secure the pardon of Alexander Berg man, now serving a term of 23 years in the Western pen for the attempted mur der of H. C. Frick. The Desmond woman is a native of New Orleans, but lived many years in New York city." She is an intimate friend of Emma Goldman of New York. It is not the intention to ask for Berg man's pardon now, she said, but to first arouse sentiment in his favor. It was likely, she said, Sir. Frick would be asked to sign the petition for Bergman's par don. BLACKS AND WHITES SHOOT Negroes Were Determined to Protect One of Their Race From Lynching. Wihston, N. C, Aug. 12. A serious riot between whites and blacks was nar rowly averted here last night It was g-iven out in colored churches during the day that an attempt was going to be made to lynch Arthur Tuttle, a negro on trial here for the mnrder of Policeman Vickers last May. After church about 150 negroes or ganized and marched to the jail where they remained for several hours. They were armed with pistols and guns. May or Gray went to the jail and assured the negroes that there was no danger of lynching and begged them to disperse. Sheriff McArthur and two lawyers also addressed the negroe3 assuring then there was no danger of lynching. Judge Brown who is holding court, notified the negroes that they were violating the law, telling them that Tuttle should have a fair trail and that he would be responsi ble for Tuttle's protection. The negroes said they would leave if the sheriff would put a guard of 20 men arouod the jail: 'lniswas done, but many of the mob refused to go away. Sheriff McAnhur then ordered out the Forsythe riflemen, besides a number of deputies, who were sworn in. Judge Brown also instructed the sheriff to ar rest those who did not leave. The mob began firing on the officers, several of whom were struck with small bird shot, but none seriously wounded. The riflemen fired several volleys into the crowd, causing the negroes to dis perse in quick order. Fourteen of the rioters were arrested by the officers and put in jaiL Everything was quiet at 10 o'clock this morning. HUGH'S DOG BIT A MAN. Mr, McGivern Insists That His Dos Is Hot Vicious. Hugh McGivern owns a dog that got him into trouble last evening. He bit a man who was walking past the house, and so hurt his feelings that he swore out a warrant for McGivern, charging him with bing the owner of a vicious dog. As his name implies, McGivern is an Irishman. When charged with the offense in court this morning, he said: "Oi have a dog, but Oi niver knew that was wan bit vicious." He promised to have the dog killed, and Sergeant Donovan was in structed to see that the vicious canine was put out of the way. BURGLAR WRIGHT HELD. The Thief ffh Entered Albert Sherwood's Heme Bound Over. The preliminary hearing of the state against Everett Wright, coLpred, charged with burglarizing the home of Albert Sherwood on January 17, was held this morning in Justice Guy's court. Wright was bound over to the district court in the sum of $500. The state presented its case a week ago, and this morning the defendant offered no testimony. Wright was cap tured in Lawrence July 29 by Police Cap tain Gardiner. WOOLEN MILL NOT WANTED Nobody Bids Upon It When the Sheriff Offers It Today. The woolen mill was offered at sher iff's sale at 10 o'clock this morning, bat there were no bids. Several parties were present to bid for it, but none of them broke the ice. It will be offered again in thirty days if no arrangements are made between the par ties, which Sheriff Burdge thinks likely. Peerless Steam Steam Laundry. Laundry Peerless fa Jii U U. w M-' JA Ii o CI POKER PL A VERS MUST 0. LIT Police will Gather Tliem in the Same as Crap Shooters. People in the neighborhood of Thir teenth and Lincoln streets were surpris ed not to Bay alarmed, to hear the rum ble of the police patrol wagon past their doors early Sunday morning. It was quite an unusual thing for a policeman or the wagon to be out in that direction, but the result of the raid proved that the police had had a straight tip. In an upper chamber of the house neai the corner of Thirteenth and Lin coln streets, five men were playing pok er. One man sat upon the front porch maybe because it was too warm in the second story, but probably for the purpose of watching for iutrud ers. As the patrol wagon dashed along on the quiet streets, the people stuck their heads out of the windows in wild amazement. But the noise of the big wagon did not reach the ears of the cam biers. Officers Ellison, Aye, Carlson. Haisch and Dee Wilkerson were on the "hurry up." Stopping the wagon about a block away, the officers alighted and approach ed the house from two directions. To see a young man sitting out oa the front porch at 1 o'clock in the morning, looked a little unusual. After a little talk, the officers told the watchman that they wished to search the house. When the door was opened a scrambling was heard up stairs, and the officers hurried up there to see who was making the racket. The room certainly looked mussed up. But no one was in sight. Before long the officers had "dug out" five ot the culprits from the closet and from under the bed. A pack of cards had been concealed between the covers of the bed. Other indications of gam ing were found. Soon the entire com pany was spinning toward the city prison on the corner of Fifth and Jackson, be hind Mr. Bundy's lively team. The five gamblers gave fictitious names. The iollowing names were given: Thomas Wheeler, H. F. Martin, Goo. Grant, Frank Thompson and Tom Ends. Of this num ber one is a clerk in a shoe store, one a driver for a lauudry, and one a former electric car conductor. The latter gave hi3 name as Martin, and his occupation as 'loafer." The $10 for each was forth coming, and the five sports left the jail. They failed to appear this morning. This will probably end the matter. Ihe ponce had received nu merous complaints of the place and had watched ic for a few nights. Poker players, it appears, are to be spared no more by the police than the crap players. Certainly one is as much a violator of the law as the other. BABY MARION'S BIOGRAPHY Kept in Book The President the "Hap py Pathor of Three Girls. Cincinnati, Aug. 12. Mr. A. O. Kap lan of this city sent President Cleveland a blank book called "Baby's Biography" on the occasion of the birth of each of the president's three children, in which to record early events in the history of the baby's life. The third book elicited the following reply: "Buzzard's Bay, Mass., July 18, 1895. "A. O. Kaplan: "My Dear Sir: On behalf of the par ents or our little child, I desire to thank you for the 'Baby Biography' which you kindly sent us. "We hope the records which will be made in this book will be as full of joy and comfort as those which adorn the pages of the biographies of the elder sisters, for which we are also indebted to your thoughtfulnes3 and friendliness. "As the contented and happy father of three girls, I desire from the bottom of my heart to congratulate you, who are the father of four of th3e great treas ures. Yours very truly, "Grovbr Clevelad." PEFFER WANTS PAPER. He Declares It Is a Great Deal Better Than Silver for Money. Emporia, Kas., Aug. 12. Senator Peffsr was in town Saturday on his way home to Topeka from Parsons. In con versation Mr. Peffer said: "I was cor rectly reported the other day as having said that silver sentiment in the west is dying out. I believe it is dying. Here in Emporia there is a gentleman who is doing a great work to kill out the stupid idea that silver is the only method of making a circulating medium. Mr. Uolden with his 'Independent League' is on the right line. "Paper is better as a medium of .ex change than metal, and I am not fully persuaded that Mr. Uolden is on the wrong line in proposing to make land values the basis of issuing money." Small II omen for Shopmen. "I find a great demand for small houses," said E. W. Benedict to a Jour nal reporter. "The fact that the Santa Fe is putting on more men is, I think, responsible for the demand. More peo ple want to rent houses than I can sup ply. On the other hand there are many vacant big houses in Topeka. The peo ple who have occupied them have moved away." Huns: Himself to the Bedpost. Sacramento, Cal, Aug. 12. J. S. Judge, a freight agent for the Union Pacific railroad company, committed suicide last night by hanging himself to a bed post with a shawl strap. Judge was 40 years of age, and leaves a wife and two chil dren in Denver. It is said that he car ried an insurance policy for several thousand dollars.

A Great Deal of Excavation lias Been Done and the Workmen Are Prompt ly Paid. It would surprise the average citizen of Topeka if he could visit the proposed site of the lower dam. It would surprise him because he would find that much more work had been done than he ex pected. The company is spending at least $50 every day and the men say they are getting their money. A Journal reporter who visited the site found a small city of tents on the bank of the big ditch which has been dug. The greater number of those em ployed on the work live there in tents. There are eight wheel scrapers being used and one four horse plow team, be sides two other teams used to fill scrapers. The men with teams are paid $2.50 per day and the other workmen $1.25, except one man who holds scrapers and is paid $1.75. The men receive their pay every baturday evening regularly. All the work which has been done has been in an old creek bed leading to the river. The strip of ground on which work has been done is about a quarter of a mile in length. In some places the earth has been taken out to the depth of ten feet. The plans contemplate that the race-way shall be 200 feet wide on top and 150 at the bottom. It will require many weeks to complete the work commenced on the strip. There is no material on the ground to be used in the construction of the dam, and no work whatever has been done on the dam. Contractors say that it is an unusual proceeding to build the race way first, but that is what is being done. The question suggested by an inspection of the work done is: If the company does not intend to build the dam, why are they doing so much work? JAPAN WANTS U. S. SHIPS. Will Have Her New War Ships Built by Americans. San Francisco, Aug. 12. Irving M. Soott. president of th9 Union Iron works, which turned out the Olympia and several other crack American cruis ers, will soon go to Japan to bid on The contracts for building men-of-war for the Japanese navy. The feeling of the Japanese govern ment is shown in the following state ment, recently made to an American by the secretary general of the imperial cabinet: "You are building the swiftest and most formidable cruisers known. Be sides that you have invented armor plate for your battle ships which Russia has chosen for hers in a competition of all the makes of armor plate in Europe. "Our government, seeing these ahievement8,indicating that America has twice revolutionized the navies of the world by her infinite capacity for inven tion, first in creating the ironclad and then the turret, is strongly disposed to draw upon American ship yards for a part of its new navy," NEW WOMEN AT THE BATH. Try to Wear Men's Clothes at Chicago, But Are Oj-dered Out. Chicago, Aug. 12. The Lincoln Park commissioners recently opened a beach for free bathing. 8aturday was one of the days set aside for women. The com missioners notified the women they must wear skirts. Ten women, all respectable, but of the "new'"variety, insisted on going in the water in men's suist. A thousand spectators were on the beach when the first one tripped out. A tall, thin woman of uncertain age threw up her hands and cried: "What in the world has that wo man got on?" "It's a slip," answered another woman. The garmentwas a combination in cheese cloth of old-fashioned chemise and bloom ers, It was transparent and clung to her like a postage stamp. She was sent back to the dressing rooms. Two women in tight, blue, skirtless serge suits got in the water as far as their waists, when they were ordered out and told to put on skirts. Another woman succeeded in getting into the surf in a mother hubbard night gown. She was jumping up and down at the ropes when the eyes of ths atten dant wandered that way. "That woman ought to be called in," emphatically de clared a man with a ministerial air. The attendant thought so too, and she, too, was directed to the dressing rooms. LIGHTNING IN SAME PLACE. Quakertown, X. J., is Again Struck by an Electrical Storm. Philadelphia, Aug. 12. The terror stricken people of Quakertown, N. J., the scene of Sunday's awful work by lightning, were again visited by a ter rific thunderstorm last evening. It was more severe than the one a week ago, but the damage is much less. Tremendous balls of fire were seen in midair, bursting several at a time. Lightning struck the country residence of Captain Samuel Everett, demolishing the two top floors and destroying all the furniture, i he family on the first floor was uninjured as was also the furniture. Floors were torn up and huge rafters were wrenched from their places and stood upright, penetrating the roof. UNDER A RED FLAG. Italian Strikers Attack Workmen and Are Captured By the Police. Pittsburg, Pa.,Aug. 12. O ne hundred Italian laborers formerly employed by Booth and Flynn on street improvements, but who are now on a strike for an ad vance of 25 cents per day, 'attacked a party of workmen on Squirrel hill this morning. The workmen made a strong resistance and several were injured in both crowds, but none fatally. The police charged the mob and captured 21 of the rioters who had marched into the melee under a red flag. Work is being carried on under police guard. At the Treasurer's Office. The people at the county treasurer's office are busy endorsing the county sales for '94 and getting ready for this year's sale on September 3. A number of those who bousrht property at the sale of September 1, 1891, have not yet taken out their deeds for the same. If these do not secure deeds before September 2, the 1b4 will revert to the county. Man always gets at least one chance in life to become a success. If hs takes advantage of the opportunity his fortune is made. The trouble usually lies in knowing when the chance is offered, and having the nerve to accept it when it is.
