TWO CENTS. MONDAY EVENING. TOPEKA, KANSAS, OCTOBER 21, 1S95. MONDAY EVENING. TWO CENTS. K1LLEDTHE BO! As the Result of a Drunken Blow Given Andrew Anderson a Week Ai?o, He is Dying WHILE THE POLICE Are Looking for Charles Oliver His Slayer. After Striking Anderson, Oliver Fell Upon Him. Andrew Anderson, the fourteen year old son of A. Anderson, who lives at 120 Buchanan street is dying at his home and the police are looking for Charles Oliver, a young butcher, who will be charged with his death. Oliver, who is 22 years old and unmar ried, has been working at the butcher shop of A. Hanson, near the corner of Sixth and Buchanan streets, and lived with his parents at Auburndaley A week ago last night llausou and Oliver had been drinking. They were feeling ex ceedingly drunk about 7 o'clock w hen Andrew Anderson and his cousin, John Anderson, who is about the same age, were going toward the Anderson home at 12tf Buchanan s'reet. The boys were in a hurry for they intended to attend church. They started across Sixth at Buchanan when Oliver and Hanson caught sight of them. Young Andrew Anderson it is Baid cried out "hello" to the men but nothing else. A drunken frenzy seemed to enter Oliver's befuddled brain and shouting, "let me catch those fallows" he started toward the boys. They both ran and John Anderson suc ceeded in escaping, but Andy was less fleet and Oliver caught him just as he reached the north side of Sixtn street According to the story toid by the boy Oliver struck him twice in the side with his list and when he dropped to the pave ment from the effect of the blows fell w ith his weight on him. It is also said that he kicked the boy. When the Anderson boy got up he did not know that he was badly hurt but when he reached home he complained of a pain in his side. He instructed his cousin to not tell his parents of the oc- currence and attended church. His side hurt more when he came homo from Church and the next morning he could ecatcely walk. He still persisted that there wits nothing the matter and went to a butcher shop for meat for the- dogs. When he reached the house he fell help less at the door crying. His mother helped him into the house and to bed and he continued to grow worse. The parents of the boy say that they supposed he had rheumatism and hoped he wouid soon be well, and so did not call a physician, Wednesday he told w hat had happened, and Dr. Aikire was at once summoned. Ha found that the boy was very badly hurt but thought he might recover. The next day he became unconscious, and though several other doctors were summoned he never re gained consciousness. A Journal reporter called at the An derson home this morning and found the family grief stricken. Another physic ian had just left the house and he told them that there was no hope for their son. Between his sobs the lather told of the assault which will deprive him of his only child before uight. lie is dying now,"said he. I don't think he will live more than an hour. My boy was a good boy and never troubled any one. The meu were drunk or they would not have hurt him, I suppose. When he came home he would not tell me what had happened because he was afraid that Oliver would be arrested. He toid his cousin, who was with him, to say nothing, and he did not tell us until he got very sick. We thought he had rheu matism." 'Did you promise Oliver that you would not prosecute him if he paid the doctor bills'?" "No sir. I saw Oliver and he said that he could give ua $o next Saturday even ing. He said that he could not help us pay. I have not yet had a warrant for his arrest issued. I went over to see the county attorney last night and he told me to find Justice Guy and he would jjive me a warrant. I could not find Guy and nothing has been done. They say that Oliver has left town and can not be arrested, anyhow." John Anderson, the cousin of the boy who was assaulted, said: "We were coming across the street and the men were drunk. Andy said 'hello' to them but nothing else. Oliver started after us and we ran. I got away but he caught Andy and I saw Olliver hit him in the Bide and then fall upon him. When I got down the street I waited for Andy and we went home together. I was afraid of the men for I thought they would hurt me. Andy told me not to say any thing about it. We said nothing to Oliver and Hanson but 'hello.'" A. Hanson, who owns the butcher shop where Oliver worked, Baid: "Oliver hit the boy and he fell against the post at the corner of the street. Oliver had been drinking, but he was not what you cU drunk. I do not think thit he meant to hurt the boy, "I do not think he' has" left town. lie is not working today, but he told me last night that he was sick. Some one told me that they saw him to-day." County Attorney Safford this'morning telephoned to the police an account of this case, and Sergeant Tim Donovan at once went to work looking for Oliver. XYjter. Andrew Audersoo, the bov injured by Charles Oliver, died at 10:30 without hav ing regained consciousness. A warrant was issued for Oliver's ar rest by Justice Guy. and he was arrested i-re noon at the erocerv store of JJ. D. Knox at the corner of Sixth and Buchanan streets by Chief of Police Wilkerson. Oliver sava that he had no thought of hurting the boy. He is in (rest sorrow and agitation of mind. Jus- tice Guy committed Oliver to the county jail and fixed his hearing for next Tues day. UNION PACIFIC PLAN. Great Advantages of Direct Line From Omaha to Onklnn.1. Omaha, Neb., Oct. 21 J. N. Patrick, the Omaha member of the Union Pacific government directorate expresses him self at length upon the report of that board relating to the road's reorganiza tion. He says: "We propose such action in foreclosure as will given a direct line under one management from Omaha to Oakland. The advantage of this cannot be over estimated. It would bring about greatly reduced rates, between Omaha and the coast. The plan, in Bhort, is this: Foreclosure ol the mortgages, the seizure under them of the road, the revocation of the lease of the Central Pacillc, the brushing aside of all the cumbrous com plex features which now handicap the Union Pacific, and the disposition of it to a syndicate to operate under such fed eral laws as will positively preyeut a tie up with the Southern Pacific, or other hues in short the co-operation of the line as a plain business proposition from Omaha to Oakland. "We do not contemplate the recovery of branch lines in the hands of other re ceivers, nor doe3 the Kansas Pacific, on which the government also has a lien come into the measure. Ye, there are syndicates willing to take the line at a favorable valuation. If the line can be operated continuously the revenue will be such as to induce capitalists to go into it. I have every reason to believe it will be dona" WAS GARFIELD TKAITOlt? Senator CuIIotii Say That lie Betrayed John SlterinHD. Milwaukee, Oct. 21. The Journal to night will say: Senator Sherman's book just from the press is reviving a great deal of unwritten history in regard to the national Republican convention of 188J when James A. Garfield was nom inated for the presidency. In his book Senator Sherman without making a di rect charge, intimates that Garfield as his manager for the race for presidential nomination betrayed him. Tho sons of the late Paesident Garfield deny this and threaten a complete expose of the affair. In 1833, while en route Milwaukee to Washington, a represeuta tiAe of the Journal met Congressman John Finnerty of Chicago and was by him introduced to Senator Cullom of Illinois, and in the course of tho conversation that followed Senator Cullom referred to the national convention of 1830, Among other things he mentioned was the fact that a secret meeting had been called by Gen. Garlield of leading men of the party whom he couid trust, to be held before the opening of the conven tion in the parlor of the Grand Pacific hotel. Senator Cullom was present at this meeting and so was E. li. Wash burne of Illinois, then in the race as a presidential candidate! General Garfield then and there out lined his plans by which he was him self to secure the nomination, which so disgusted Washburne that he got up and lef thfj meeting without saying a word, A few hours later, Garfieid went into the convention ar.d nominated Senator Sher man with a eulogy that was the greatest effort of his life, while his henchmen in different parts of the convention hall did their part in his own behalf. WOOLEN MILL CASE. It Will Be Hurried Up Out of the Way By Juile llHZan. The woolen mill in the district court again this mo. in When the property was sold at bu. riff's sale the usaal eighteen months stay of execution was given by the court. This morning the attorneys of the purchasers were in court asking that the title should be given to them in six months instead of eighteen. Mr. Lurimer, for the Appleyard fac tion, characterized the motion as a scheme to freeze his clients out. That if given time the machinery would be got out of the cars and the mill run. Judge Hazen said: "What is the mat ter with you people? Some time ago you were here asking that there might be as much hurry as poseble. Now you want to delay these people eighteen months before they can get their money. I shall look up the law and if there is any chance to make it the shorter time I shall do so." NOT LIKELY HE'S DEAD. The Illston Boy Who Disappeared Seen Twice Driving Eastward. Sheriff Burdge went to Kansas City this afternoon to try to find Edward Ill ston, the 15-year-old son of William Ill ston, living ten miles southeast of town, who has not been seen since he left To peka last Monday afternoon with a load of sand for his home. The sand was found Saturday morning near the Den ning school house, within two miles of his home, A searching party started from the school house at 1:30 Saturday afternoon. Sheriff Burdge met sorxe .-men in a cov ered wagon about tea miles east who said they had met the boy driving to wards Lawrence. Later the sheriff met a man who had seen the boy, wagon and. horse3 a few milos east of Lawrence, and the sheriff thinks he is in Kansas City. There was a man in the wagon with the boy when the parties referred to saw him. WESLEY DAVIS CASE. Judge Hiizsu Refuses to let Other Creditors in With the Bank. When the Hossville grain speculator, Wesley Davis, left the country in July the Rossviile State bank took most of his real estate, which had been given as se curity for debts he owed the bank amounting to about 10,000. Joseph G. Waters then filed a suit for Josiuh T. Hopkins and others of Davis' creditors to set aside the judgment which the bank had secured for the property and give it to his clients. This was decided this morning in the district court. The judge overruled the petition of the creditors to set aside the judgment rendered in favor of the bank. The bank was sharp enough to have its loans secured, while the other people were not. A TALE OKBUELTY. The Pitiful Situation of Mrs. Frank Conklin. She Lies Sick in a Topeka Hospital. HER CHILDREN TAKEN. Separated from Their Mother and Carried Off To XewMexico by Their Father's Family. Deserted by her husband, and her children carried away by their father, Mrs. Prank Conklin lies dangerously ill at Dr. Ward's hospital iu this city, and her condition is pitiful in the extreme. The story as related by Mrs. Thomas Mooney, a sister of Mrs. Conklin, and other friends in this city, from state ments made to them by Mrs. Conklin, and from their personal knowledge is as fol lows: About nine years ago Miss Hattie Cor coran of Topeka went to Santa Fe, New Mexico, to keep house for Father James Defouri, parish priest at Santa Fe, and while there formed the acquaintance of Frank Conk lin, a son of C. M. Conklin, at that time sheriff. In October, 1888, she married Conklin and went to reside with his family in that city. Coniilin's mother was a Mexican by birth and his father a half Mexican, and they evinced a particular dislike to his wife on account of her being an Aineri can, objecting very strongly to tho mar riage oi their sou to her. Her husband, too, was of a particular ly jealous disposition, aud whatever re gard he had for his wife at the time of their marriage seemed to soon disappear, as he joined his family in making life miserable for his wife, questioning all her actions and keeping a constant watch upon her. It was a common occurrence for htm to beat her severely it is said by Mrs. Mooney, nnd he always carried the key to the street door, rarely if ever allowing her to be on the street unless he accom panied her. It is related that her best clothes he burned to prevent her from attending the church, as he also did the clothes sent her by friends in Topeka. In the course of time two children were born to them, both girls.. She decided some time since to leave her husband and escape to her relatives in Topeka, but watched as closely as she was by her husband and his family, an opportunity did not occur for some timo. In November 1814, her husband was sent by his father to a ranch which he owned at some dis tance, and her father-in-law being great ly interested in the election in progress at that time, she found opportunity, and, aided with money and clothes by a Mrs. llample, an American lady residing in Santa Fe, started with her two children to Topeka. On her arrival here she went to the home of her sister. Mrs. Thomas Moouey, where she resided until 1ns'. April. A few days after her arrival in this city, says Mrs. Mooney, she showed her an uudervest covered with blood, stating that a few days prior to her escape her husband had struck her repeatedly in the face while undressing for bed, caus ing her mouth and nose to bleed. Her husband wrote to her shortly after she left Santa Fe, asking her if she would live with hitn if he came to Topeka, promising to lead a model life. She indignantly refused to agree to any reconciliation. He wrote to her con tinually begging her to consent, and making such promises that she finally did agree last April to live with h:m if ho would come here, and he immediate ly removed to Topeka and secured a po sition in the Santa Fe round house. As she wa3 among relatives here, her husband was much kinder to her, al though at times when he was drinking, he proved that his disposition had not im proved. Some weeks ago Mrs. Conklin was taken ill with a serious trouble, and three weeks ago was removed to Dr. Ward's hospital for a surgical operation. A day or two after the operation was performed Conklin telegraphed his father to come to Topeka, aud her rela tives now suppose that it was for the purpose of securing the children in case of their'mother's death, or of kidnaping them if she recovered. Conklin' a father came to Topeka and was invited to stay at Tom Mooney's house, where the children were being kept, and shortly after his arrival visited his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Conklin, at the hospital. The nurses at the hospital say that after his first visit Mrs. Conklia ap peared to be worried about her children, and would often remark: "I cannot live without my children. They must not take my children away." Last Thursday morning her father in liw visited her and asked if he couid take the oldest girl to Santa Fe, She implored him not to do so, aud ho left the room angry, saying that he was going back to Santa Fe iu a few days. After leaving the hospital he went to Mr. Mooney's house and told Mrs.Mooney that Frank was ill and that he would take the children to see their father at No. 3 Seward avenueT Mrs. Mooney consented and he left about 10:3 a. m. That w.is the last seen of the children, and it is supposed that Conklin and his father left that day for Santa Fe with them, as Mrs. Mooney, visiting the house at 6 o'clock Thursday evening, found the door open and every thing in disorder. Mr. Mooney immediately sent a tele gram to the sheriff at Santa Fe, but op to this time ho has received no reply, and he believes that they have stopped off for a few days at some point on the line. Mrs. Conklin .knows nothing of the kidnaping, but is greatly excited over the possibility of losing her children, and tho physicians say that if the the fact3 were told her in her present condition, the shock might cause her death. County Attorney Safford told a Journal reporter this morning that nothing could be done In reference to bringing the children back, as the father had as much authority B the mother, and in this case more, as the mother Is incapacitated by illness. MINERS WALK OUT. A General Strike is Threatened at X.eaven worUi SOO Have Already Struck. Leavenworth, Oct. 21. The 300 min ers employed at the North Leavenworth coal shaft quit work this morning and visited the Home Riverside mines for the purpose of inducing the men em ployed there to quit. The Morth Leven worth company is paying 8'J cents a ton for mine run coal and tho Home com pany Iu cents. The walk out is to force the Home Riverside company to pay 80 cents. A mass meeting of miners will be held to night and a general strike seem3 almost certain as tho Riverside people are not disposed to accede to the demands made. Trouble was threatened at the Leaven worth shaft a short time ago over some feeling between the regular miners'union and tho organization of colored miners This bas all been fixed up and the two organizations are said to be getting along together in a harmonious manner at present. It is said that the superintendent of the Leavenworth mine notified his em ployes that a cut from SO to 70 cents a ton will be made in the price of raining linloss the other mines in the city pay 80 cents a ton. The IIomeJRiversidn Mining company has only been paying 70 cents a ton for several months and the officials of the Leavenworth shaft say they cannot com pete with this mine and pay ten cents more a ton for mining. At the miners' meeting, when it was decided to quit work Monday, this reso lution was adopted: "Whichever company will pay the price, eighty cents per ton, the miners at that mine will donate tweuty per cent of their earnings to the men out of work, until the prices re settled in all the shafts. The twenty per cent to bs taken out at the office and distributed "equally among the idle miners by any competent com mittee selected by them for that pur pose." Members of the miners' union claim that thev have many members in the Home Riverside mines and that there will be a big walk-out. GETS OUT OF THE ASYLUM. Dunn, Who ATiis Sent For Assault in AValnuc Grov, Kscnpei. Benjamin Dunn, tho member of the official board of the Walnut Grove M. E. church, who was sent to the asylum a few weeks ago for attempting to crim inally assault a little girl, escaped lrom the asylum last night. Dunn, in compatiy with Joseph Marah, anj insane patient from Harvey couuty, escaped from the second story window of an asyiuru building last night. This morning the attendants on the ward where these men were confined discovered that the iron burs on the win dows had been removed during the night and the two men had let them selves down to the ground using bed clothes for a rope. Dunu is pructicaily sane, and tho mem bers of the church which he disgraced, believe he is sane enough to leave the country. lie has relatives at Davisville, Mo., and he has probably gone there. Dunn is five feet six inches tail, rather slender, has a moustache and light colored hair. lie wore a black Prince Albert coat. Joseph Marah who escaped with Dunn is 4i years of age, is five feet two inches tall, has thin short dark brown beard over his face. One or two upper teeth are gone and he has a loud voice. If the patients at tho insane asylum were uniformed they could not thus easily escape. SUNDAY. WHEELING. Record ILtneen Lawrence and Topeka Krokpn Some Itideto 3T;tple Hill. Webb Stevenson and C. C.

RIDGE GIVES WAY A Crowded Bridge Breaks at an Algiers, La., WJiarf. A Hundred and Fifty People Thrown Into the Water. THIRTY ARE INJURED. Three More Are Supposed to Have Been Drowned. Screaming Women and Crying Children Make Frantic Scenes. Sew Orleans, Oct, 21 There cams near being a horrible calamity about six o'clock yesterday afternoon and as it is there are about thirty persons suffering from injuries, more or less serious while there are fears of three people being drowned. This state of affairs was caused by tho breaking down of the little iron bridge which leads from the Algiers ferry house to the floating wharf where the ferry boat is accustomed to laud. Tho following is a list of the missing and injured: Annie Mason, aged 8 years, Mary Lauer, aged 11 years, Injured: D. Meehan, leg broken: F. C. Champagne, head cut aud bruised; Joseph Alfina, leg broken; J. J. Carroll, court officer, leg injured; Mrs. August Camper,bruised; Mrs. Moss, bruised; Mrs. W. S. Garvey, leg and arm injured; Mrs. Sarah Condon, hip injured; Mrs P. Mac Mahon, bruised; Laura Wagner, head cut; .Miss Jennie W'agner cut on the head, John Courtney left arm injured; Joe Gregory, leg broken; Miss Lulu Law man, internal injuries; Henry Acker, right arm broken; KalpU Patton aged (5 years, injured about head, Wm. Brooks, injured about body, Louis Margiosky, bruised; Thomas Luuday, left hand cut; unKnown lady, hip injured. It is stated that an unknown woman was drowned. Some three weeks ago the owners of the ferrv line began to construct a new ferry house at the Algiers and Canal s'reet ferry and a few days ago it was sufficiently completed to be used. Yes terday morning for tho first time the building was placed in use. The iron bridge which is fastened to the piling on the shore and has a support on the other end of the floating wnarf was a week ago moved to its position iu front of the ferry house. There was considerable care taken in the fitting of the bridge, for it is ppon this one companion way that all passen gers are supposed to cross tho hundr "d of feet water aud shore. At the shore end of the bridge there was a large clamp which held it in place, and iu addition long belts were added to increase the safety of the passageway. The bridge itseif proved the weakest part of tho entire structure, and just as the ferry was lauding it parted very near the middle, throwing about 150 people into the shallow water, near the bank of the river. The distance between thp.t portion of the bridge which gave way and the surface of the water and the bank of the river measures about fifteen feet. It was nearly dusk and peopie of all descriptions wero hurrying back to the ferry and to their homes. There was a rush for the wharf as soon as the ferry w-as in sight, and before the steamer had landed there crowded on the pontoon wharf as many people as that structure would hold, llien the ms of human ity crowded down through the door of the ferry house to tho iron wharf until it too was packed with meu, women and children, and there was another great crowd in the ferry house waiting to rush headlong lor the steamboat. The ferry boat, Thomas Pickles, was also crowded. The engines were slowed down on ap proaching the wharf and she, as usual, almost drifted to her landing. However the stern of the vessel bumped against tho end of the pontoon, and with a crash tho spun parted and a hundred or more frantic people were literally dumped into tho water among the piling and drifting timbers. Fully thirty men, women and children were injured, while there are missing two children, and the statement of two of those in the wreck adds the drowning of a young woman to the list of casualties. Women screamed, men shouted, and above the groans of the injured and frightened and the cries ot the little ones could be heard the oaths of many. The men on tho pontoon bridge and those in the ferry house did not wait a moment before they began to look toward assisting those in the water. While hun areds of strong hands grasped every plank within reach on the pontoon and dashed them into tho water for the un fortunates to cling to for safety, dozens devoted their efforts to pacifying the women and children ou the pontoon. The mate and passengers crew on the Thomas Pickles hurried to the pontoon took an active part in rescuing the peo ple in the water. Several men on the pontoon divested themselves of their coats and vests aud were ready to make a dive into the water and swim to the un fortunates and help them to shore. SNOW IS CHICAGO.

Wants tin Journal Reporter Excluded Froiutli.C.ancit Chamber. Cuacilman Bradford has a resolution ready to be introduced at the council meeting tonight expelling the Journal representative from the council chambsr, as a result of the stand taken by this pa per for better sanitary conrf'-'.loos and the prevention of the spread of contagious diseases, particularly diphtheria The Journal's course will remain un changed. It made a fight on the board, the city physician and the mayor for negligence and carelesseess. The city council was In no way involved in the matter. S. B. Bradford, however, rushed i&to the breach on his own motion and criticized the Journal. Mr. Bradford is in no way involved in this diphtheriu fight. The council is not responsible for the spread of diptheria, and the Journal has not criticized that body in the matter. Mr, Bradford meddled where it was none of his business and got his toes trod on, that's all. ONE MORE DEATH. A Child of Mr. and Mrs. Mortliland Dies or Diphtheria, Making 26. Little Charlie Morthland, son of Mr. and Mrs. Morthland, of 1130 Quincy street, 19 the twenty-sixth victim of the diphtheria scourge in Topeka. He died last night and was buried today. On October 2 the quarantine had been raised from a sick cuild at the Morth land home, and the place thoroughly fumigated. On the 10. h of the month the Utile boy that died last night was taken ill. This shows, as the Journal has all along contended, that when there is contact with the victim, fumigation is not going to prevent the disease. Ihe attendance at the Grant and Lane schools on the north side today shows about 50 per cent decrease from enroll ment. At the Quincy school there are still 285 pupils absent out of 360. The home of the Morthland's is near the Quincy school, and it is well that pupils at that school remain away at least this week. The School board still refuses to take any action iu the matter of closing a school that is running with less tnan one third attendance and others with less than half. In district No. 8 (Tecumseh) four miles east of town, there have been cases of diphtheria among the pupils, and the di rectors met and closed the schools promptly, holding that to be tho best means of stamping out the disease. The Atchison Globe very pointedly says: "Some one in Topeka is acting in a disgracefully stubborn manner. The diphtheria is so bad that in some of the school rooms not more than seven or eight pupils are present out of an enroll ment of over fortv, but the school board refuses to close the schools. The Hoard insisted at tho beginning of the epi demic that diphtheria was not prevaleat. niid refuses to back down from its orig ins! position, though there is at least one funeral a day from the disease." f'r. Thos. Kirkpatrick, secretary of tho state board of health, has notified the county health officer of Die'-iinsou conn-' ty, Dr. Uazlett of Abilene, that ho must requite all cases of membraneous croup to be quarantined just the same as diph theria. Dr. Uazlett notified Dr. Ivirkpatrick that he had disc jvered a case of diph theria and pronounced it as such and ordered it quarantined. The noit dy another physician pronounced it a case of membraneous croup and said there was no necessity for continuing the quar antine. Dr. Kirkpntrick wrote ordering the case quarantined, and said: 'There is no diif erenc? between it aud diphtheriu, and it is undoubtedly contagious. Ail suspected cases should be quarantined. You would be derelict in your duty at this time if you did not enforce tho ruies of the board in this particular." To a State Journ al reporter Dr. Kirk -patrick said the orders of the state board of health to county and city health offic ers are to commence prosecutions where cases of bontagious d.sease are not re ported and quarantined.

STATE JOURNAL, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 21, 1895. IT BLOWSJCY COLD. The Northwest is Visited by a Cold Wind. JL Blizzard, With Blinding: Dust Sweep3 That Country. S031E LIVES ARE LOST. Wind freshens Smouldering Prairie Fires Into Flames. Much Property of Farmers Has Been Destroyed. St. Paul, Minn., Oct. 21. For tha last two days the arid wastes and Mistering winds of Arizona and New Mexico seem to have been transferred to the American and Canadian Xorth-: west. The chief difference is that in stead of the scorch of an equatorial sirocco, the icy blasts of the poles have held 'sway. This "has been the general condition, not only in Minnesota, but in Iowa, the Dkotas and Manitoba. Sand storms and dust storms have made the air a blinding, freezing- scourge, ac companied as they have been by a low temperature that can not ordinarily be expected before the latter part of November. The wind lias reached and maintained for hours a velocity of fifty miles per hour, and the alkali de posits of Northern North Dakota and ..Manitoba and the sandy soil of South Dakota and Minnesota have armed and intensified the universal blizzard. .Mere phy sisal discomfort has not been the worst characteristic of the storin3 of the last few days. More than one human life and large amounts of farming' property have been the forfeit of nature's angry mood. The winds have fanned smold ering prairie fires into fresh blaze and fury, and started new conflagrations, particularly in the Red river valley and Manitoba, and the consequences in the way of loss to farmers have been fearful. Seldom have such large areas of country in theNorlhwest be.-n swept by fire. Some of these prairie conllagrations have appeared in Souih western Minnesota and South Dakota, but the bulk of the disaster has fallen on both si tes of the lied river valley ia Minnesota and North Dakota and extending1 for many miles up into Man itoba. Locomotive sparks set three fires on the trip from Red Lake Falls to the crossing of the Fosston lire at Tilden. Just east of this crossing1 th1 worst tire occurred. It swept north r,nd great loss resulted. Another bad fire started in Ieri sonville, eight miles east of Crookston. Nearly all the country between Crookston and Maple Lake north of the Fosston line has been fire-swept, and the loss will be verv i heavv. Only one life has been thus far re ported lost in this State, a child of H. Timmeriek, who was burned to death near Hermann. In Manitoba, near Elm Creek, two section men of the Canadian Pacific were burned to death. Houses, stables, live stock, grain stacks and hay have been con sumed in all directions in the Prov ince, and half a dozen people, all told, have lost their lives and a score or more have been seriously burned &nd permanently maimed. It is estimated that L'-tO.OOO bushels of grain and near ly 1,000,000 tons of hay have been de stroyed. SEVEN HUNDRED HOMELESS. Fire at Aljriers. La., Destroys Ovor Oae Hundred Xuildiiigs. New Orleans, La., Oct. 21. Fire broke out about 1 o'clock yesterday morning in Algiers, snd before the fS tines wore finally subdued, destroyed about 100 small buildings and about twenty more pretentious structures, including the court house and a num ber of hands' me residences. The fire started at the corner of Bermuda and Morgan streets and swept in a south westerly direction. It is estimated TOO persons are rendered homeless. NEW WITNESS FOUND. Prosecution in tlie .Dnrrant Case Win Spring Its Greatest ot AH Sensations. San Francisco, Oct. 3J. The prose cution in the trial of W. II. T. Durrant has found a witness who will testify that everything was not right ia Emanuel church prior to the'murder of Blanche Lainont and Minnie Will iams. This witness is a colored boot black by the name of liudd Wilson. Last night, when he was served with a subpoena, he told his story to De tective Seymour. "I know King and Durrant so well that they talked freely with me," said he. "At first I was surprised that such religious young men should be carrying on in such a fashion, but after awhile I concluded they were about the same as other young men. I learned from those two boys themselves that they were taking girls to the church every night. I often heard "them tell of the fun they had there and of the different girls who ac companied them. I know myself of five girls who used to go to the church at night with .these boys. The people in the mission would be very much surprised if they knew who the girls were. They all belong to respectable families, and the. worst of it all is that the parents never dreamed that such things were go ing on. Hay Press Factory Burned. LiwEEser, Kan., Oct 31. One of the Eclipse Hay Press factories, lo cated on the line of the Santa Fe road, burnei yesterday afternoon, the fire starting in the boiler room. The other factories adjacent were saved, together with a large amount of machinery in the building in which the fire started. The loss will not ex ceed S15.000, fully covered by insur ance. Charges of insubordination and con duct unbecoming a postmaster have been filed against Postmaster Wash iiesing of Chicago. SEVERE DROUGHT. Weather Bureau Information as to the Recent I'rolons'ed Dry Spell. Washington, Oct. 1. Eeports re ceived at the weather bureau indicate the present drouth is one of the-se-verest, most prolonged and general known in the United States since the bureau's organization. There are a few places which show an exception to the general condition, but in no large section of country unless per haps the Northwest and far West does there appear to have been" a heavy xain for the past two months 'or more. Where there has been exceptional pre cipitation it has been confined to small areas. In some parts of the coun try the drouth began in the latter part of July, but in most of the sec tions it did not become markedly pro nounced until August. The entire Atlantic coast, with a few exceptions, such as Charleston, S. C, and Augusta, Ga., shows a de ficiency below the normal rainfall since the 1st of August, amounting in some instances to almost half of the average precipitation. The Ohio and Mississippi valleys report similar con ditions, as does a part of the Pacific coast. The Great Lake region upon the whole has fared better than other f-eetions of the country east of the Mississippi. In some parts of the Rocky Mountain region, as in Colo rado, Wyoming, Utah and Neva la, there have been excessive rainfalls dur'ng tiiis period, and along the, Pa cific coast from Olympia to San Fran cisco there were good rains in Septem ber, as there have been in places since then, in that section. Further east. Fort Smith, Ark., Indianapolis. Ind., and St. Paul, Minn., are the centers of the districts where the drouth was broken in September. There have been good rains also in parts o Iowa, Ncbra-ka. Missouri and Kansas. The greatest- complaints come in from West Virgin;a. Kentucky and Western Pennsylvania. Fortunately, in most part of the country t ie drouth did not sat in until after the principal crops were mauirjd, consequently the effect has not been so disastrous as it would have been had it begun earlier. In some places it has had a slight ef fect on the planting of winter wheat, and complaints come from many quar ters of the inconvenience of securing water for domeslic and stock purpo es, many small stream stock por.ds, springs and wells having become dry. Pastures have been injured in many states. It is also noticeable that there has Deem an increase of typhoid fever ov -r the normal in many of the sec tions where the drouth is severe The oilicial figures of the entire country coverina the period frfmi March 1 to October li, shew a '"de ficiency, SHERMAN'S BOOK Cincinnati "Enquirer" Snys Sherman's ktricties on Garliwld are Justified. Cincinnati, Oh.o. Oct. 21. The En quirer says editoriaiy: ''.Mr. Sherman speaks in high terms of the personality and eloquence of Garfield, but says he was a man lacking in will power, and changed' his opinion-, easily. This I i is a faithful picture, expressed in terms i of reserve. Mr. Sherman might have g-one further and only reflected the I views of contemporaneous Itepub lican politicians who had associa tion with the martyr presideut, j and said that while Garfield was a t good stumper and qualified to act ifi a lCgiltl LI C UUiiV uiLt:uuii ilUU restraint, he was unfit for leadership. The statement in this new chapter in political history that Garaeld, in I making up his cabinet, was guided by James li. JJlaine in his resolve not to j retain Sherman as secre.ary of the i treasury is another Kiguiricmt re- I minder. It was the opinion of many experienced and thoughtful men that lUaitie would run the tiartield admin istrat.ion. The assassin's bjllst cut i oil' a strong adjuv.n'stration in all probability. When so distinguished a I statesman as John Sherman takes these matters up it is fairly within the province of current joui- nalism to say that had Gartield stir- vived, his position as f resident of the 1 United Sla'e.s would lir.ve been almost pitiable unless hs friends had risen and brought an irresistible pressure to bear to oust Liaine from the cabinet. Garfield was always taken care of by his friends in polities. lie was looked i upon as a valuable factor in pa'-ty work, whose intellect aul eloquence i should not fce allowed to go to wate, but he was in scarcely any sense a leader.' SILVER REPUBLICANS. Their Position on the Reorganization of the United -Stutes Senate. Washington, Oct. 21. Senator Teller, who has just arrived in Wash ington for the winter, said the silver Eepublicans in the senate would not agree to the rorgauizrtion of the senate by the Republicans when con gress reconvenes except upon con dition that they be allowed to fill the vacancy on the finance committee caused by the retirement of Senator McPberson. He also expressed the opinion that the president, in his an nual message, would recommend the retirement of the greenbacks, and pre dicted that if he should do so the rec ommendations would have the effect of opening up the entire financial ques tion. Well Known Journalist Dead. Kansas City. Ma, Oct. 21. Frank Hills, one of the best known news paper men in the West, and (or many ears city editor of the Kansas City fournal, died last night of consump tion, after a long illness. England Wants AsHantl; London, Oct. 21. An ultimatum which Great Britain has sent to the K.i'4' of Ashacti was forwarded from London on September f, and its terms plaee Ashanti under the British p ro te el ion and establish a resident Brit ish commissioner in that country. A British mijsion, bearing the ultimatum to Coomassie, left the Gold Coast on September 26, and the king was given until October 31 to reply. The insurgents will try to prevent the grinding of sugar cane in Cuba to cripple the government in its revenue. BETT IS LET GO, Chancellor Leatherman Decides in His Favor. Declares There's No LawAgainst Glove Exhibitions. EYES OS GOV. CLARKE. What He Will Do is Speculated On. Much An Extra Session of Legislature Talked. Hot Springs, Ark., Oct. 21. Chan cellor Leatherman has released Cor bett frcm custody, on the ground that there was no law in Arkansas prohib iting glove sparring exhib'tions. The atforney general appealed from the decision and will take the case be fore the supreme court. Those favoring the contest here were greatly pleased at the turn of Rfrairs, and held that the hght would I surely take place if Fitzsimmons could be got here, though it was rumored j that the governor would call a special session of the legislature to pass a law bv which he could surely prevent the fight. Governor Clarke said of the decision i of Chancellor Leatherman: "I knew what Leatherman's decision would be j when the case was brought before him. He starts the light; I don't." l The probable action of Governor j Clarke, in view of the decision of the chancellor, is the subject cf much i comment and surmise. His declara ti.;n at the beginning that lie would not call out the legislature if the meu 1'uugkt, in the sinte house yard, is re meuibeied, and the iear now is that he Will not abide by it, but will call an i extra session of the legislature at j once. It is a recognized :act that the gtvernor has now no law to warrant him ia calling upon the militia with out first being called upon to do so by the civil authorities of Garland county, j An extra session of the legislature is i now the governor's only hope of mak in- good his word that there shall be l.o meeting of Coreett and Fitzsim- nuns aay.vhere in Arkansas. If he I stiould peroi-st in sending the militia into this county without being culled j Uiioa to do so, the local peace officers will see that tney do no damage to either life or property. i'lTZSirdJlONS ANGRY.

Armed with a Winchester rifle and a revolver, a mad man defied the police for hours yester day at No. 5 Wooiland park, in one of the most aristocratic residence dis tricts of the city. liarricaded and loektd in a second story room, coui manding a complete view of the park, the lunatic splintered doors, shatteied window panes and tore holes in the piaster of the room, with bullets from his rifle, wuile he shouted defiance to the poiiee and others attracted to the scene.

San Francisco, Oct. 21. -C. P. Hunt ington, when shown the dispatch from Washington to the effect that the gov ernment directors of the Union Pacific road had uiade a report to the Secre tary of the Interior, recommending that the attorney general shall, im mediately after the maturity of any portion of the debt to the government from either the Union or Central Pa cific, institute proceedings for the pro tection and foreclosure of the lien of the United States on the roads from Omaha to Ojrden, and from Ogden to Sacramento, and thence to San Jose, said: "I doubt very much if the directors have made a report of the character outlined in the dispatch. I am in clined to think there is not anything in the story the telegram contains. As I at a moment's glance understand the dispatch's account of the supposed report, I do not see that it means any thing. "The settlement of the Union Pacific and Central Pacific, government debts is a business question. It is not a political matter by any .means. The government must and will no doubt make up its mind as to what is the best thing for it to do in the premises. The railroad companies must also de cide what they should best do. Of course, if the government through, its proper authorities makes up its mind that it will take possession of the two roads, and assume their other indebtedness, well and good. No one could prevent it from so doing, and I for one would not prevent it. "liy this statement I mean that un less some settlement of the debt is ar ranged through an extension of time of payment, the Central Pacific will not be able to pay the debt when it matures. At the maturity of the debt, and a failure to make payment, the government can step in and take the road with its remaining indebtedness. It will, of course, have to provide for itie latter."

TWO DAYS AT MOST. Durrant's Attorneys Still Cling to Conspiracy Theory. Say That Mrs. Leak's Story is Manufactured. San Fhanchco, Oct. 2L Eugene D. Deuprey the principal defender of Theo dore Durrant will not appear in court to day when the trial ia resumed. He is still a very sick man and although his physician reports the attorney is on the road to recovery it is doubtful if he will be strong enough to leave his bed dur ing the coining week let alone appear in court The aymtoms of paralysis, which were so manifest when ir. Deuprey was first taken ill, have not left him, notwith standing the skilfull treatment and care ful nursing he has received.

"I am drawing up insiructions in the case," said General Dickinson, "and that U all I am doing. Yes, I think the case fur the defense may close in one day, cer tainly in two. Of course I can not aa yet tell what there will be in rebuttal, but I do cot believe that there will be a great deal. The field has been pretty well winnowed, you know, and there can not be much more to come." Durrant's lawyer still clings to the theory that the story told by Mto.

Henry with Mrs. Ler.k and Dr. Gibson in this alleged conspiracy. Mrs. Leak and Mr3. Henry have been subpoenaed and when put on the stand will be questioned on the sub ject. A HOT CIRCULATION WAR. Death Ended It aud tile Editoi- Was Cheated Oat of His Revenge. "Running a newspaper out in Okla homa ain't the wild and wooly sort of a thing people here in Chicago might think it is," he said to a Chicago Trib une reporter as he pulled up another chair to rest his feet on. "I've been running the Weekly Noose since the day after 'the strip' was opened," he continued. "Living off public printing, done nicely, and run ning a real estate and insurance busi ness on the side. "But speaking of circulation," he went on, "reminds me of an epoch in the history of the Noose. As I have intimated, the public printing is the thing, I might say it is the life o jour nalism in many Oklahoma communi ties. The public printing consists chiefly of the notices of publication of settlers in making proof in support of claims. They are given out by the register of the land office. Well, they changed registers on me when things were going along smoothly, and a lit tle, narrow-chested down-Easterner got the job. One of the first things he did was to switch the printing around. There were two other papers which used to divide the business of our sec tion with me, but when this little pirJt nosed reformer zot into the office he gave the whole thing to one paper. It was not long till the Noose began to feel the effect of this despoliation. Weil, .the Noose and our esteemed contem porary who was also left out in the cold, trained editorial broadsides on that register till I almost lost confi dence in the power of the press..' Final ly he gave evidence he was hit by printing a reply in the contemporary which was getting all the patronage. Before doing it, he hired a couple of snaaks to go and work on the Noose, and the other lonesome contemporary. It was a political trick he had brought out from the East. He said in his re ply the reason why he did not give any advertising to the Noose and our other contemporary was because the circu lation of these two would not justify him in doing it. Then followed affi davits from these two sneaks. The wail-eyed sneak who had worked for me, setting type and running the press for three weeks, made an affidavit that the circulation of the Noose was sixty seven copies by actual count, free list and exchanges included." "Was it the truth?" asked one of hi3 auditors. "Well, supposing It was," he said, pulling his feet off the extra chair, and there was a gleam In his eye that caused his auditors to straighten up and draw their chairs closer. "That ain't the point," he went (in. "While I was oiling my gun the coroner came in grinning, and I knew I was too late. "Your esteemed contemporary," he says, "has already referred that chicken-breasted register to me for an in quest as to cause." "Well, I haven't had any trouble with registers since, and, as I said, the Noose is doing nicely with public printing. But I felt cut up Over that affair for a while. You see our esteemed contem porary didn't have as good a case against that register as I did by eight copies." DALLAS AND UETUKN BY THE SAHTA Fe ROCTE. One fare for the round trip.

You can secure furniture in these rooms which will commend itself to your good taste in every particular and may possibly meet with the favorably critical commentary of your friends when sit ting in judgment on your purchases. Anything that will stand this crucial test cannot ba anything but good, and the unanimity of sentiment is that the place to secure furniture that can be subjected to and stand under any sort of crnicUin is at our two bazaars of trade, or reposi tories of correct and elegant furniture furnishings.

OTHER STATE NEWS. A Student Thief in Midland College in Atchison. Franchise for Electric Road in Emporia Asked. Wichita, Oct, 21. Judge Reed will be called upoa witkia a few days to pass upoa a question of great importance to old soldiers. Tlie question to be decided is whether the pension of au oid soldier can bo claimed by the wife k3 a portion of the alimony to which the wife is enii tied. The evidence is now beinp heard ind JuUjfe Heed will weigh the 133119 raisod before giving his decision. The question arises in the divorce suit of Sarah DeweV vs. Manviile Dewey. The husband receives a peiieiou of f 72 per month, so stated in the petition of the plaintiff, and the wife asgis that she may be allowed a certain portion of the money received for the rest of her life. It is asked that a guardian be appoint ed and that when the uionoy is received from the government that tha guardian shall divide the money between the hus b.md and wife according to the decree of the court. The defendant sets up the plea that this pension money is not subject to either execution or the decree of the court. That it is money set apart for his own individual use by the government of the United stales for services rendered and personal injuries received. It is said that this is the first time that a judge has been called upon to pass upon a question of the full nature and Bcope brought up by the petition of the plaintiff in this case. The defendant states that if the case is decided against him he will refuse to obey the order of the court, stand com mitment and try the issues involved in the case in the supreme court. CLl'B MEMItEKM IMMC3JE. Jutlga Reed Say" Membxn of the Drinking Clubt Needn't Testify. Wichita, Ocr. 21. Jude Reed made a very important ruling in the tSchniizier injunction case Saturday in regard to evidence of members of ciubi. (J. M. Jones vns called as a witness in the case with the intention on the part of the assistant attorney general of showing that the cluD had kept a place in the ischnitzler building where liquors were kept for drinking purposes. Mr. Jones refused to answer the ques tion on the ground that his evidence might tend to criminate himself, he be ing a member of the club. The assistant attorney general asked the court to inform him that his evi dence could not be used against him and then to compel him to answer. Judge Reed said: "I am willing to go upon record as saying that the con stitutional provision that no person can be required to be a witness against him self, as a proposition of law, can not be taken away by Bny legitimate act. The witness has a right to stand upon his con stitutional privilege. The constitution is made a barrier against arbitrary leiris latiou; against fanaticism on one side and fanaticism on the other."

OTHER SPOUTING NEWS Saturday's Football Games Midland Wins from Campbell. Large Entries for the Louisville Jocky Club Stakes. New York, Oct. 21. It is now stated as a certainty that a match hus been made between Capt. J. L. Brewer of Npw York and Thos. Morfey of Patfirson, N. J., for $1,000 a side, and that eiich man has to put up half ofthe staka 1:9 a for feit. The match is to be at 100 live birds per man, and is to be shot at Dexter Park, L. I., within two weeks. Capt. Krewer concedes Mr. Morfey throe yards in the rise, which places the first named at 33 yards from the traps. TOfEKA'S TIIAP SHOTS. They Can Shoot Well Enough lint I.:ic-k Nerve. But two members of the West Side gun club went out to shoot last Friday. Ihey were J. C. Elliott snd F. C. Mont gomery, and their scores were far above the average. Mr. Montgomery has pur chased a new Spencer hammurless 12 tore, which he has had altered to lit him perfectly, and he is doing excellent work with it both at targets and live birde. In the live bird race, 15 birds per man, Mr. Montgomery made a straight scorei while Mr. Elliott dropped 13 inside the boundary line. Elliott was the winner in the 25 bird race at targets, with the good score of 23, to Montgomery's 20. It appears strange that when Topeka trap shots can make such high scores as these, that they are afraid to meet the shots of Leavenworth, Frankfort, Atchi son, Weir City, etc. Topeka should have three state troph ies, and would have them if the local shooters had a little more nerve. They are the shooting and fishing cup, for the team championship now held by Frank fort, the individual target and individual live bird championships, both of which are now held bv W. W. Mcllhaney of Weir City, Mr. Mcllhaney is undoubted ly a very superior wing shot, but either J. C. Elliott, P. J. Hiudmarsh or J. C. Clark, should, with a little steady prac tice, defeat him ut live birds, and Mr. Biscoe would iu all probability be the vtctor in a race with Mr. Mcllhaney at targets. All that is lacking in the West Side Gun club is a little ginger. ON 1U GKIUIROX.

This is a greater figure than was reached by any daily paper in Topeka for the year 1804. The American Newspaper Directory, Issued In June. 1395. and covering the year 1S94. gives the average daily circuiaticn of the Topeka Dally Capital for the year 1SS4, as only S.744. These figures were furnished by the publishers of the Capital, to the Directory, and are guaranteed to be correct by a forfeit of $100. which will ba paid to any one disrroTing their correctness. The following figures, substantiated by sworn statements in detail, giving every issue for the first six months in 1833. 1S94 and 1893, shows the Topeka State Journal's Wonderful QroWth. rally average for first six months of 1533 0,4-0 Eaily average for first sis months of 1834 'iU Eaily averao for rst siz -is, months of 1833 'J.OO- The boast of the Topeka Capital that it payt mere rostago than ail other Topeka dailies combined, only proves the meagerness of its local circulation as compared with that of tho Etate Joi ksal-as no postage is raid on any circulation within Topeka or Shawnee county. The State Journal's local circulation Is faf and away ahead of ihe combined circulation ol ali the other Topeka dailies. 1 he circulation of the Topeka Daily Stats Jouro"Ai. in the towns near by and tributary to Topeka is very large, as tho evening trains in various directions carry the State JounrAr a-ivir.; its readers the first and latest Associated Press and state news of the day. Weather Indicntl9. Chicago, Oct. 21. For Kansa3: Fair, Cojler; westerly winds. The fact that the amount of wool marketed this year is more than 50 per cent greater than daring a correspond ing period in 1893 indicates that the wool growers are not going oat of the business just ye'. Rev. Dr. Nicholson has been pre aented with a handsome illuminated al bum as a testimonial in recognition of his services in refuting Ignatius Don nelly's ''Great Cryptogram." Who gets rile reward for refuting that other work of Donnelly's, the Omaha platform, in which he asserted the country was on the verge of three kinds of ruin. Lord Sclixy who owns vast tracts of land in various parts of the United States, is reported to have taken out nat uralization papers. This is a wise pre caution on the part of Lord Scully, in ev of the complications arising in .con nection with the Venezuelan affair. In tb.3 event of serious trouble between this country and Great Britain his timely ac tion may save his property from confis cation. The workings of the over production theory are having a practical illustration in connecton with the cotton crop in the south. It has been nrged that the low price of cotton during the past few years has been occasioned by too large a yield, and concerted action was taken in many of the cotton growing district to limit the acreage. The success attained is ev idenced by a greatly reduced yield ac cording to the estimates. Cotton has advanced greatly in price, it is said,' in consequence of this purposely limited supply. The cotton growers of the south have doubtless been benefitted to some extent by this increase in the value of their product, but for every one who has received a few cents a pound more for his cotton how many hundreds of already overburdened workers in other industries have been forced to pay an increased price for necessary clothings or else do withle3s? If the cotton grower by rais ing one bale instead of two can enhance the value of his crop, why cannot tho laborer raise the value of hia work by working five hours a day instead of ten? Suppose every laborer in the country adopted this rule there would be just as much produced. Does anybody .ippose that there would be any less poverty, deprivation and suffering? While there may be overproduction in a few fancy or unusual articles it is safe to assume that there is never overproduc tion of the necessaries of life bo long as any considerable class is deprived of them. The theory when applied to the things which sustain life is much like that of Malthus regarding humanity. George N. Ai-DRiDfis repeated the same old time-worn falsehood to the Banker's association at Atlanta, about the government's having on band $330,000, 000 in silver which it stands ready to furnish to anybody who wants it He repeats this cuckoo like in the face of the fact that the only time silver has been asked for it was refused by Mr. Carlisle although those who made the demand offered Sherman notes for it. The secre tary of the treasury took advantage of that clause of the Sherman law which permits him to exercise his discretion regarding the kind of coin to be used in redemption. A clause which was clearly inserted to enable him to refuse to pay in the scarcer of the two motals, he made use of to keep from paying out tho more plentiful of the two metais. This arbi trary act of the secrotary was but one of many which have been perpetrated for the purpose of debasing and discredit ing silver and then he and his fellow conspirators and the cuckoos all over the land snesr at the SJ-cent silver dollar which would be a 100 -cent silver dollar commercially and every other way ex cept for them. Though their falsehoods are exposed every day they go ri;ht on repeating them, perhaps imagining that the people l'.s:en and believe. The outcome of the conflict between the executive and judicial departments of the state government of Arkansas wiil be watched with interest both on account of the prominence of the parties concerned, and of Ihe fact that such a clash is unusual. I: is an everyday oc currence for the legislative and judicial departments of government to coma in conflict all over the couutry, and in such cases the judiciary nearly always coms.f out iirst best. The legislative branch of the Texas government has won a tempo rary victory ever the judicial depart ment, but it may not prove a lasting one. The Topeka Journal and Capitan Joe Walers have already commenced to agi tate a week's festivities for next fall. Captain Joe says: "it must be original. It doesn't take originality to plaster a lot of corn on a building and call it a corn carnival, or coal on a board fenca and call it a coai carnival, behind which stands a man with a Dottle with tho cork out," Ac cording to that we must expect to see something out of the ordinary at Topeka next fall. Winchester Star. It is the intention of Topeka to have something very much out of the ordi nary. All that is now necessary is organization. That Senator Thurston will sever his connection with the Union Pacific road before entering upon his congressional duties, as he has announced, is not likely to alter his sentiments toward his old employers and their interests. His resig nation is only a tribute to the common idea cf decency and propriety. Regard ing the matter from a practical common sense standpoint it will be generally agreed that he might as well have re tained his connection with the road open- John Sherman is giving evidence that he is a disappointed cross, sour old man. tie has wanted to be president for many years, and now that he is past 70 years of age and see3 that it is impos sible that his ambition can ever be grati fied, he has written a book in which he ays mean thing's abont everybody. He has turned state's evidence, as it were. John Sherman is not only a back num ber, but the people of the country have grown away from him and his idea on finance, the only thing for which he was ever distinguished. He has been in of fice continuously for forty years and should be satisfied. Many greater men than he have died without reaching the presidency, although desirous of doing a They didn't write books abasing lh?ir successful rivals, either: Notable among these were Henry Clay and James G.

The colored voters of Abilene have or ganizad for the purpose of devising ways and means not to be the tools of poli ticians. "The Yoeman of the Guard" which is being presented by Emporia amateurs is said to be as good as 'surely'' traveling troops can do. When a Wichita man was arrested for being drunk the other day be indignant ly denied it as he had only had two pints of alcohol that day. Now that the Irrigation Farmer has been moved to Ottawa perhaps it will discover some way to make water run in the Alarais des Cygnes. Broason is getting to bs a decidedly quiet place. It has been at least two months since the milk cows down there have got drunk on cider apples. A Holton man believes that any man who burns dead leaves in the streets making everyone sick by the smoke ought to be sent to the penitentiary. The pleasure of having a thorough bred English bull pup cost an Emporia man 126.50 in costs because the animal tasted the savory flesh of a neighbor.

Hih up in the Masonic temple.Chicago's loftiest build ing, yesterday I met Dr. Joseph Fir niemch, president c2 the Firiucuich Manufacturing company, and a mnny times millionaire. He has been called the "Father of Glr.eose. A large, heavily built man, ho has a remarkable, face. It remiuda cue of the featuros of Seueca. There are the same eager eyes, with an expression of interest which is more like pain, the bushy brows and the straight aquiline juosg. His beard, too, which is of a brownish gray hue and cropped closo, emphasizes his likeness to the Roman philosopher. Thirty years ago the doctor started to make glucose and grape sugar in Buf falo. He was the first manufacturer so to do in this country, but glucose had been made in Germany for 20 years pre vious to that time. His factory in Buf falo had a capacity of 50 bushels of coin a day. People said he was going icto the thing too deeply. Last year, how ever, his factories turned out full three fifths of the entire American production. Dr. Firmenich is a chemist of distinc tion. He said to ma: "Within a week 1 have discovered that two very impor tant commodities can be made from corn. These are in addition to glucose, KraFs sugar, starch and cornstarch, which are all corn products. I have disposed of my manufactory at Marshalltown, la., which was one of thehiggest in the corn country. We are going to erect either in Chicago or some town west of here the most stupendous plant which the west has ever seen, with the largest capacity in the world. I believe there are many other staple articles which can be made from corn. I purpose experimenting un til I have discovered them all." TjDtil recently Dr. Firmenich was a heavy stockholder in the American Glu cose company, one of the wealthiest trusts in existence. ,He owns a mam moth plant at Peoria, Ills. at present, which the trust has in vain tried to buy. More and more glucose is used every year. The consumption is something enormous. Just where the demand will cease it is hard to say, but the doctor proposes to manufacture glucose just as long as the great American public will use it. He makes tests and experiments every day. As he sat in his office sur rounded by bottles,' cans, cylinders, measuring glasses, etc., Dr. Firmenich looked no older than when, 20 years ago, he used to be a director in all the German savings banks of Buffalo and was hand in glove with Millard Fill more.

Ho fills his clothes so full that he didn't notice until Liza had sung her last song that his gold watch had been taken from his pocket. Tho police have been looking for the robber ever since. Officer Burgess finally got track of the thief. Yesterday after noon he went to Bed well's asylum, near tlio Topeka cemetery, and there found the watch in the possession of a colored girl who works there. She said that George Fisher had given it to her. Sho had an engagement to meet him at the colored church on Thirteenth street last night. The officers stalked in and arrested him during the service. The church was crowded and it created a commotion. Ho was today turned over to the state. Fisher is a bad colored man who cams here about six weeks ago from St. Louis. Bad negro characters frequently drift in here and no sooner arrive than they commit some crime. Navels, the accused murderer is not a Topeka man. Nearly all the colored criminals in town are im-. ported. Nearly all our own colored peo ple are respectable.

J. Court ney cf that placa While there she met a number of people in the store of a gentleman named Gold man and a conversation took place in which the names of her two sons were brought up, and also the absence of her arm and hand, destroyed by the bomb thrown into the Samuels home on Jan uary 26, 1875. When, reference was made to the mUsing arm Mrs. Samuels' eyes flashed and she spoke vigorously of the outrage perpetrated on her home, saying that had her two sons been at home some one else would have been cap tured besides them. Then the matter of Jesse's death in this city came up and Mrs, Samuels is quoted as saying: "Yes, 1 saw Jesse's dead body at St. Jo:eph and I want to tell you what I have not told before. A doctor who had charce of the body for awhile removed poor Jesse's brain aud it is now kept bp him in alcohol at his of lice.

Two young men of this citv, Ben Pettigrove and Charles Sally, are just in from the Olympic mountains, where they have been hunting elk, and report that after experiencing a series of slight earthquake shocks, covering a period of two weeks, flames and huce volumes of black smoke were observed ascending from one of the smaller peaks. The flames would shoot up and then dense volumes of black smoke would belch forth. Pettigrove and Sally hurried back to Port Towosend for a fresh supply of pro visions, and will make an effort to locate the supposed volcano. South of Port Townsend last night the sky was clear and the volcanic phenomena was witnessed by dozens of people, who accurately, describe the eruptions of smoke in the same manner as the elk hunters. Many navigators on the lower sound and straits report seeing a strange sight, and all believe it to be a small volcano. "Ten lioaa's or J-'iIi.' Seattle, Wn., Oct. 21.

New York, Oct. 21. A dispatch to the World from Paris says: The exact details of the deplorable death of Jolin W. Mackay, Jr., as furnished to his sis ter, the Princess Colonna.Jars as follows: Young Mackay was taking lunch on Friday afternoon witii Messrs. Lynch and Digby, when a steeplechase match was proposed. Somebody suggested that a gallop might be unwise immedi ately after eating, but the suggestiou was overruled, and the horses were brought out. One of them was a half broken colt belonging to the stables of the chateau which Mackay had rented. Mr. Mackay mounted this one himself, rather against the protests of his friend;, audr they started off around a circular course. The colt was fractious, and Mr. Mackay'a companions easily distanced him. On the second round they noticed that Mr. Mackay looked rather flushed as they passed him. On the third round they found him lying on the ground. Ho was carried to the house and a doctor was summoned. The physician on his arrival two hours later, first bound up the injured head. On further examination he found a leg broken and the knee cap fractured. During the examination the sufferer looked up and smiled. The doctor said: "If I had seen this at firs'. I need have done nothing for the other wound. He is paralyzed from the waist down, and feels no pain. Even could he survive, he would be a helpless cripple for life." Mrs. Mackay. his mother, went into the country on Friday to make a tour through Normandy with her friend Lady Mary Lloyd of London. Telegrams could not find her until morning Mrs. Mackay and her children have been living at the hotel, but the body was taken to her house in Rue de Tilsit which has been closed since Mrs. Mackay took a resi dence in London.

T.rfend of Tell of Vri Explained. Swiss papers have of late been full ol the legend of William Tell. Did he ex ist, or was he a pure myth? At the Altorf commemoration and the Fetspiel then given. History and Legend, per sonified by two beautiful women, discussed the question with critical acumen. History accepted the role of Mrs. Betsy Prig, and "didn't believe I there never was no sich a person." Le gend seemed to be of the opinion that, even, if he did not exist, it was well to invent him, as he represented the life of nations in their struggle against ty rants. A Swedish savant of Upsala has, however, settled the .vexed ques tion much to his own satisfaction. The hero is the spirit of the pine forests. This seems quite natural. Pines have hitherto yielded chiefly turpentine, but there is no reason why they should not produce a spirit of their own. The east wind is the foe from the East, (Aus tria), which bows their lofty heads, and Tell's enemy is merely Geiseler, the German, for a scourger. Another name for the east. wind is Eurus, and this in t some way got mixed with the Canton of Uri. Now TJri was proud of its 'j genesis"of the record-breaking apple trick. And tnus ue wnoie legend is explained. Any one who is suSefing from Consti pation or Indigestion would do well to try Beps? Little Giant Pills. They give perfect satisfaction.

As they pass one of the tables a young man starts violently, half rises and takes oft his hat. Mrs. Ormerod eyes him with an imperti nent stare, and Miss Ormerod looks iLxedly at the wall beyond him. The young man hastily resumes his seat. When they have found seats at a safe distanoe and ordered refreshment, the ladies give vent to their indignation. "Well, Laura, of the impudent" "Mr. Marston never was noted for his modesty, mother." "I should think not. But iiondon Is the place to bring him to his senses'. He'll soon find his level here." "I wonder what he is doing? He seeins well dressed. "Counter jumping or shoplifting, I should imagine. That's all he's fit for." "He could waltz divinely." "Then ho had one redeeming virtue. Perhaps he teaches dancing." As the band outside ceases playing sun dry people saunter In. "Why, there's Sir William. I do hope he'll see us." "Why d,oesn't the man look this way?" "If he isn't talking to Mr. Marston! How flattered that young man must feel!" "Perhaps he is ordering a new coat." "Or, more likely, complaining about the old one." "I hope he is arranging for some danc ing lessons. He waltzes horribly." You could forgive that if he were only good looking." "At any rate, he is very good natured." "Or ho wouldn't be talking to young Marston." "At last he sees us." The ladies bow gracefully. Sir William walks across to them. '.'Now, whoever would have thought of meeting you hero!" "How br.dly expressed, Sir William! 'An unexpected pleasure' would have sounded so much better. "I sit corrected. Ices, I see. Are they goodf" "Very bad. But we are pretending it's summer." By the way, Laura and I are quite dy ing to know what you have in commou with Mr. Marston." "A very great deal, Mrs. Ormerod." "Coats and waistcoats?" "Dancing?" "Really, I ought to have had an ice, for without one I see no connection. STou know Marston, then?" "He was a clerk in father's office. We did know him, mother?" "Certainly, my dear. Sir William will understand the degree of intimacy that in dicates. Sir William looks from one to the other in a doubtful, questioning manner and then says gravely "Mr. Marston is a friend of mine." "How extremely condescending of you to put it that way. Mr. Marston would be flattered if ho heard you." "I fail to see why." "Look at your different positions in life. You aro a man of title."

"Yes." "I told her she would have to send for me then, as I should never ask again. You have just brought her summons." ."The deuce I have!" "She has only just learned that I am er a success?"

The original formation of the crust of the world consists of sterile volcanic rocks, only cr.pabie of supporting a very limited amount of plant life. By the action of water these rocks are worn away and de graded, and the debris being transported and deposited in layers of soil of more or less thickness, on which vegetation can flourish and produce food for human con I sumption, the surface of tho earth is j thus subject to constant degradation and reconstruction. The mills of nature grind slowly, but surely and without ceasing, and as steadily as existing rocks are worn away new land is being formed. In fact, the whole cultivated land of the world is derived from debris disintegrated from vol i canic rocks, transported by water, depos- ited at some lower level and subsequently i again raised into the elevated tracts which j now form the greater part of the surface of the earth. i It requires a strong effort of imagina i tion to realize the enormous periods of I time that must have elapsed during which the sandstone rocks, the limestone hills ami plains and the chalk downs with which this country is diversified were be ing eroded, transported and deposited. There are, however, also vast plains of al luvial soil, a largo part of which has been made within comjiaratively recent periods of time, and the composition of which is stili going on in a manner that can be traced and realized. The process of deg radation is principally due to mechanical action, the primary and moving ageDt of destruction being water. Longman's Magazine. His Case Explt&iced.

There are many little skin troubles which are both persistent and trouble some, and vex one's very soul by ap pearing on the face. A greasy sldrx may arise from various causes, but gen erally from lack of cleanliness or de bility of the skin. Only an astringent, has any effect upon it, and a very sim ple, entirely harmless on-2 may be made from one pint of rosewater, half a pint of vinegar and a few drops of essence of rose. This lotion mtii be applied, with a piece of soft linen or a very fine sponge. Blackheads are very difficult to get rid of, and are caused by the clogging of the pores of the skin by dust or for eign matter. Alcohol, ninety per cent., applied by the means of a piece of chamois skin, will give tone to the s'-tin.: arid remove unsuspected dirt and dut, al the same time stimulating the smalL glands and removing, by constant uss,l the blackheads. Tan and freckles may be removed by! the use of the following lotion: Ttvot drachms of powered sal ammoniac,: four fluid drachms of eau de cologne,; one quart of distilled water. Lemon juice and borax are both very eiiica- cious, and are home remedies. Many skins will not stand constant washing, but need to be cleaned after a -dusty ride or walk by other means than soap and water. Lait Virginal i.- a delicious preparation, and can ha made as follows: One pint of res:.-, orange-Sower or elder-fiower water, half an ounce of simple tincture of benzoin, and ten drops of tincture of myrrh. After being exposed to harsh or chilling winds, it is a good plan upon, retiring to rr.b a quantity of fresh, cream on the face, removing after five or ton minutes, to be applied again, fol lowed by a generous puffing of rieai powder.

A neat little device has been patented by a German inventor, which effect ually prevents the boiling over of anyl fluid, even at an open fir, says tliaj tEE MILK W11L SOT BOIL OVER. Philadelphia Keeord. It is a simp'y-i constructed rim, which must tightly lit the pot in which the milk is to be boiled. Upon the inside of it is another rim in which holes are cut oven dis tances apart. This pot needs no watch ing, and if it does boil over no harm caa be done, as the overflow returns to tha pot through the small holes provided ia, the rim sufficiently coo:ed off to prc- j vent it from boiling over any mure. A benefit of this system is that milk can be kept boiling for a long time, and thereby sterilized milk, forming iiu tritious and healthy food for babies, can be obtained.

Sh Hid It In nn Old Stove 'ow Sereral l'eoplo Want It. Over one thousand dollars in gold, United States and English bank notes were found in an old second-hand soft coal stove at J. S. Rhodes' second-hand store Saturday afternoon. "When Mr. Rhodes a few weeks ago purchased the old Btova from Mr. Robert Giles, a civil engineer, who lives in North Topeka, neither the seller nor purchaser of the 6tove knew that it was being used as a savings bank. The stove waa sold on Saturday to AV. T5. Hinman, of North Topeka, and' was being loaded into his wagon when several five dollar gold pieces rolled out of the stove and clinked on the pave ment. An examination of the stove brought more money to light, la the air cham ber undar the ash pan was found a pack ase containing more gold and several United States and Engiish bank notes, over $1,000 in all. The stove was already in Mr. Hinman's wagon and he claimed the money. Mr. Rhodes found the money and he claimed it and tock possession. Sir. Rhodes then went to North Topeka nnd informed Mr. Giles, the former own er of the stove, of the lind. Mr. Giles said although helid not know the money was in the stove when he soid it, there is no doubt that it be longs to him. Ho says that he end Mrs. Giles visited their old home in 1887, England, and while there came into a legacy of four hundred pounds or about $2,000. Mr. Giles says he gave this money to Mrs. Giles to do with as she, pleased and he had supposed she had either invested it in building and loan stock or deposited it in some bank. Mrs. Giles died about two months ago and after her death Mr. Giles and several intimate friends of the family made a thorough search of the house and prem ises for this money or something that would show where it was deposited, but their efforts were fruitless. Mr. Fred lies, who is a friend of the family, said to a State Journal reporter today: "There is no doubt that the money foundin the 6tovo was placed there by Mrs. Giles, as she was very economical, and we who knew her think sho had more money than the amount found, hid some place. The fact that the English bank uote3 were in the package found, ought to be enough to show where the inonev belongs. After Mrs. Giles died I helped look for this money but we found no trace of it." Mr. Rhodes, who found the money, still has it, and says he will hold it until the rightful owner proves the property by positively identifying it. Mr. Hinman, who bought the stove, has filed a claim with Mr. Rhode9 for the money. He says it is his because he had paid for the stove when the money was found. The Btove in which the money was found was stored all summer in Mr. Giles' b.irn, and after it was purchased by Mr. Rhodes was kept in an unlocked room. WASHBURN COLLEGE NEWS. Mr. R.

Two men in the unifopm of the city railway company attracted a crowd at Twelfth street and Kansas avenue on Saturday. They stood near the tracks pummeling each other in a manner which would have drawn applause from admirers of the fistic art The men were Conductor W. II. Light of the South Topeka line and Motorneer II. F. Robinson. Robinson did not belong on the car and he got aboard to ride to the station to be assigned to a car. Con ductor Light is a young man who goes to Lawrence today to enter the state-university law department. As Light was coming up on his car Robinson began to reproach him for what he said Light had been telling about him. The conductor rang up his fares and then said some uncomplimen tary things to RohinsoD. After an ex niiange of some warm words Conductor Light rang the bell and stopped his car, and the two men went at each other. What the result would have been no one knows, for a colored man named Galloway and one or two others got between the men at the end of the second round and stopped the fight. Then Light got on his car, gave the signal to start, and went on as if nothing had happened. It is said that there is a woman in the case about whom the quarrel started. Motorneer Robinson said: "I suppose I will got fired, but tht is all right. That is what I expect. The trouble was about a revolver." Conductor Light has a long scratch on his face. STRANGE POP-El ED FISH. A Curious Species Is Caujjlit by a Net ill Hi 'ortli l'acilio Ocean. San Francisco, Oct 21. The fish commission's steamer Albatross, has re turned from the north with a pop-eyed denizen of the deep that is certain to be a wonder of the naturalists the world over. It is a fish, bnt utterly unlike any thing ever caught before and in no way resembling ordinary fishes. It was scooped in by a dredge that was at the time traveling along the bottom of the ocean a mile and a half deep. The very fact of bringing this fish near the surface of the sea killed it. When the enormous pressure was taken off its vital organs its heart and every thing else within it began to puff up. Its bladder was forced partly out through its mouth and its eyes were driven forward out of their sockets. The fish will ba forwarded to the Smithsonian institute. AC!1! DU ROESER MANN.

HELD TELLS A STORY About Topaka Amateurs He Met in Missouri. EDMUND COLLIER WASTED HIS PLAY Of "Hainan Hearts," bnt Couldn't Get Backing to Pat It On Karl Gardner Will Sing Apple Bioiaomi. During the matinee performance of "Human Hearts" at the Grand Saturday in the closing scene where a tramp stands with uplifted hand to stab a sleeping child, a girl in the parquet cried audibly, "Don't strike, oh, don't Btrike." This re veals the character of the play. It is a melodrama, "As ye sow, so shall ye reap" are the last words of the play. It is the spirit of the piece. The drama has a message to deliver, a lesson to teach, a wholesome song to sing. Hal Reid, the author, star and hero, does some bad things. His gestures are poor and he uses the same ones too much. In some of the pathetic scenes he changes his voice too perceptibly. For all this most of his acting is excel lent. Mrs. Reid, as the wicked confidence. woman was very good. "This is my seventeenth play," said Hal Reid, "and I have been on the stage off and on 14 years. I wrote 'Human Hearts' five years ago and called it 'Logan's Luck.' It took me five days. taking out time for my meals, and going to bed about 11. "Edmund Collier wanted a play to star in and wrote me saying he would come on to see me and asking me to have' a synopsis ready. He was surprised to see the play completed when he arrived. But the reason was that I had had the piece pretty thoroughly planned out in my mind for some time. Usually one word leads to another and one scene calls up another until when your play is finished it isn't at all what you started out to write. "Collier and I made arrangement?, but when the time expired he was unable to get backing and had to return the manu script to me. I had it in New. York last spring and thought I would put it on. "Being in Topeka reminds me of two Topeka girls and a boy I met over in a small Missouri town two or three years ago. I was in the place on business and heard there was going to beau entertain ment of some kind at the theater. I con sidered this a godsend and hurried down. The manager was tickled to d?ath to see me. He said, 'Hal, you'll have to give us some recitations, or something. Some of my people refuse to go on.' "I went back and met the young man. He said, 'My dress suit hasn't arrived, and I positively will not go on without it.' So I gave something in his pines. "A day or two afterward I met them standing on the depot plat form in a town a number of miles closer to Topeka. They said that was as far as they could buy tickeia 1 questioned them and found out the young man had an uncle keeping a hotel about 30 miles from there. 1 said 'strike straight for the uncle who keeps the hotel' and bought ail three of them tickets. Afterward 1 received a letter from the mother of the girls ;hanking and bless icg me. I don't supposo tliey ever told their Topeka friends of this." The young ladies mentioned were the Misses SiinpsoD, daughters of 13en Simp son, aud the yov.ng man was Will Kelly 'We are doing fairly well. Our ex penses are $U51) a week. One the one night stands we are losing money, be cause the people don't know whM the play is. On week stands I am making from ?500 to $700 a week. The audi ences get larger every night. We cer tainly ought to do good business when we come through here next year." Mr. Reid i3 a large, handsome young looking man of 34. He weighs 18S1 pounds arid is over 6 feet tall. His hair, which is black and curly, is worn very long. "Human Hearts" plays this week at the Ninth street thea'.er in Kansas City. "The Ynzt AVinner" next Friday at the Grand will present the German dialect comedinn, Chas. A. Gurdnar, in a play new to Topeka people. Gardner will be remembered in "Prince Karl" aud other.?. This is tho second season of "The Prizs Winner." Mr. Gardner has com posed several new songs for the piece. He has made a hit with one called "Apple Blossoms." The plot of the piece turns on tho athletic games of the Turners, the Turnfest. George Mauderback, Gardner's ad vance ygent, was in the city Saturday. He says the season opened auspiciously iu Chicago on the 1st of SeDteinber, and I the company has been doing a good Id the Topeka letter of a recent num ber of the New York Dramatic Mirror, the conespondent advises all companies to keep away. He says business is poor and sugffeats that companies which are coming here had better come with a well tilled pocketbook and few trnuks. This ia an injustice to tho place. Be cause a deluge of Bowery pkiys failed to draw here, is no reason why good pro ductions should stay away. Upon read ing this article Lillian Lewis aud other attractions wanted to cancel. John Griffith played to but $275 here on Wednesday night, but he considers Topeka a very good town. It has been played to death with "Faust."

CThere is one thing however that construes to make theien receipts look bear ish and that is the fact that thes spring wheat receipts are counted '.wo or three times, 'lhey are couuted in tho Minneapolis and Duluth receipts and the same cars are shipped to Chicago, St. .Louis.

The weather continues very dry every where and the United States signal ser vice at Washington says there has nev er been such a serious and extensive drouth since that service was established twenty-six years ago. John Cudahy had his brokers in the pit trying to buy wheat but trading was so limited that any attempt to buy caused a rapid advance. Closing cables were steady, with the early Liverpool slump regained. The visible 6upply was not largo as expected and the guesses before t!ie announcement ranged from 2) to 3 millions. The situation is very bullish. Armour buying the spring wheat and a drouth in the winter wheat soeding districts, causing a very large decrease in the acreage.

One of the first stp towards securing the state reunion for Topeka next fall was taken at Lincoln Post hall Saturday night. The attendance was very large, over 200 members being present. .t The prospects for the reunion and au tumn festival of 1896 were fully discuss ed, and all present were of the opinion that Immediate action should be taken. A committee, consisting of Blajor T. J. Anderson, J. M. '.Miller. A. II. fuller. Major R. W. Jenkins, W. W.'Denniosou, Al Rogers and Sam Groche, were ap pointed to take the preliminary steps. This committee will confer with mem bers of Topeka, Blue and Fort Pillow posts and report at the meeting of Lin coln post November 2. It was the opinion of the committee that from the four posts one committee should be farmed to go to the Beloit re union in February and work among the veterans with the single idea of securing a reunion-of the Grand Army of Kansas in Topeka in 1836. The report of the committee appointed to secure the change of date of the Leav enworth reunion from Kovember 2 until November 7 was heard. The committee read a letter from the Leavenworth fort commander saying the grounds and band would be free to the soldiers and the lake was full of pure clear water making beer unnecessary. The idea of the Q, A. R men is to have the Leavenworth reunion after .Novem ber 4, which is pension day, so more can go. But a number will go from Topeka whether the change of date is -made or not.
