Aiuiropuliin Vell Creased Is to Slip Down. Chicago, May liO. A special to the Record from Indianapolis. Ind.. says: "The Populists of Indiana make the announcement that within the last ten clays an understanding has been reach ed whereby the Populists of every state in the union are to aeo-pt the platform and candidate of tile Chicago conven tion in case both are for free silver. '"in accordance wit h the negotiations v, hich began several months ago, the Populist national conention and the Convention of the national silver party are to endorse the Democratic candi date and platform provided the latter declares for free silver. The Populist leaders in Indiana are only too willing to g-o into this deal, be cause they believe that they are prac tically swallowing up the Democratic pa.rty in so doing. The professional pol iti' ians wno have always controlled the policy of the Lemocratic party in Indi ana, are also willimr. because in this, th.-y can see the only possible way of hope for success and continued grip on the olfices. What they are after is the off cos ard to them this end justifies all means The basis of the fusion is to be free sil ver. and the Liemocratic politicians have gone so far as to receive assurances front Populist leaders that in case they adopt a l.l to 1 plank and nominate a soft money man. either Shandiin or Shievoly. the Populists will either hold 110 convention at all. or. holding- one, will endorse the Democratic ticket and platform. Gov. Matthews seems favor ably inclined toward the scheme, and has opened correspondence with some of the Populists. One of his letters, that to John H. Prunt, the Anderson Popu list, was published last Sunday. A (JOOD PRACTICE. If You "Want a Good Appetite and Perfect Digestion. After each meal dissolve one or two of Stuart's Dysnepsia Tablets in the mouth, and, mingling with the food, they constitute a perfect digestive, ab solutely safe for the most sensitive stomach. They digest the food before it has time to tersjent, thus preventing the formation of gas and ket-pinj? the blood pure and free from poisonous products of fermented, half-digested food. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets make the complexion clear by keeping- the blood pure. They increase flesh by digesting flesh forming foods. Stuart's loyspiepsia Tablets is the only remedy designed especially for the cure of stomach troubles and noth ing else. One disease, one remedy; the suc cessful physician of today is the spe cialist, the successful medicine is the im-dieine prepared especially for one disease. A whole package of them taken at one time would not hurt you, but would simply be a waste of good material. Over six thousand men and w omen in the state of Michigan ahme have been cured of indigestion and dyspepsia by the use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. Sold by all druggists at SO cents per packa ge.

The rainmakers are evidently not satisfied with the dose of wet weather administered to the eastern portion of Kansas yesterday, ami wish to repeat it this afternoon if possible. The pre diction calls for showers in the eastern part of th.e state, with cooler weather tonight and fair and warmer weather tomorrow. At 1 o'clock this afternoon the sun was making a rather taint aternpt to break tnrougn the clouds for the purpose of ultimately foiling the weather bureau. Tlie thermometer registered ,1 degrees. Throughout the state today the weather is reported generally part cloudy, the temperature ranging from 5 to M! degrees. Over the eastern di visions of both the Rock Island and Santa Fe raids heavy rain feill yester day. On tne Horton division of the Rock Island a good rain also fell and on the main line from Phil! iosburg to Goodland.

IE1DIA TO REPKESEXT THE WEST. The Products of "Washington to Ee Exhibited at Philadelphia. Tacoma, Wn., May 20. The Tacoma Chamber of Commerce has issued a call for a convention of the commercial bodies of Washington to be held here June 17. to take action on the Invita tion of the Philadelphia museum for Washington as the typical western state to make a permanent exhibition of the natural and manufactured pro ducts of the state in the great commer cial museum now being established in Philadelphia. Pending erection of permanent build ings, space is too limited to allow an exhibit from each state. Washington was recently chosen to represent the west and Georgia the south. The muse um is international in scope, one of the chief objects being to show the products imported and sold in foreign markets where the United States can by special efforts secure a share of the trade. It is intended to raise funds and make even more complete exhibit of her tim ber, mining, tish, acricuitural and hor ticultural resources than Washington made at the Columbian exposition. 1 X iHaX A-VF1 R E The Great Battleship Has a Narrow Escape from Destruction. New York, May 20. "Fire in the bun kers, sir." was the startling word pass- 1 to the chief engineer of the big bat tleship Indiana, which lay in tne coat dock at tlie Brooklyn navy yard coal ing up ready to take her place with the fleet off Tompkinsville. The fire was in Pel forward amidship bunker on the starboard side. Right ext to it was the magazine for the itrht inch guns, stored with powder enough to blow the great ship out of the water and wreck half the navy yard be sides. The crew was called to fire quar ters, the few visitors aboard hustled ashore and warned to gave trie snip a wide berth, and the jack tars got to work upon the fire. A bunker lull ot sott coal had caugnt fire by spontaneous comoustion. T. he agazine grew hot while the men work ed. and the walls nearest to the fire plainly showed the effects of the heat. Happily the ammunition was removed before the danger point was really reached, but tne incident caused no little excitement. NOW THE PRESBYTERIANS. The 18th General Assembly Begins Tomorrow at Saratoga. New Y'ork. May 20. The ISth assem bly of the Presbyterian church of the F'nited States of America is to begin its sessions at Saratoga at 11 o'clock tomorrow. The retiring moderator, the Rev. Russell P.ooth, D. D., of New Yoik will preach the opening sermon. The scheduled business of the assem bly is the consideration and furtherance of the benevolent and missionary work of the denomination. Interspersed among the regular order is the consideration of incidental mat ters which have great interest to many who are outside as well as inside of the church. Prominent among those this year is a report to be submitted by a committee of 11. Dr. David R. Breed of Pittsburg, chairman, to which was com mitted the consideration of "The Whole Subject of Young People's Societies and Their Relation to the Church." An attempt has been made to agitate for the restoration of Prof. Ib-nry Pre served s.mith. D. D.. formerly of Lane Theological seminary, who was sus pended from the ministry two years ago on account of heretical teachings. It is reported that the conservatives have threatened to complete the process in his ease by the eie-position unless a stop is put to this movement, and it is said that Prof. Smith would prefer such action rather than remain longer under suspension. Another burning question has regard to the answer of the New Y'ork Presby tery to the a tion of tin- last assembly enjoining it from receiving under its care with a vi.-w to licensure, the stu dents from Union seminary. The Pres bytery adopted a resolution drawn fov Dr. John Hall declaring that the prev ious practice of tlie Presbytery had been to receive all applicants who could answer the 1 eq uirements laid down in the constitution of the church announc ing its determination to proofed in fu ture according to the same plan. Another report that will be awaited with interest is the dealing with rela tions of the assembly to theological seminaries. Last year a lawwer addressed the as sembly on the subject of Union semina ry, and said tiiat when it terminated its relations with the assembly it "stole' its eridowmet ts away from the Presby terian church. He was instrumental in having adootod the following resolu tion and was promptly placed on the committee having the matter in charge: "Resolvd, Th.at the committee of con ferenco with the theological seminaries lie requested to inquire into and report to the n-xt treneral assemble as to tlie rights of the Presbyterian church in the f'nited States of Amerb-a in their prop erty not hs 1,1 by tne Union theological seminary of the city of New York, and to recommend what measures should be taken to enforce said rights." Many other matters of interest will fully occupy the ten or twelve days of the assembly's sessions, though In the absence of such cases as those of Drs. Priggs and Smith, the body ought to be ablo to adjourn even before the usual time, noon of the second Tuesday. OFFICEHOLDERS FOR GOLD. They Will Hate a Fight For Control of Democratic State Convention. Although the silver Democrats are preparing to capture the state conven tion in this city June 3. the gold stand ard men are also working for the con trol of the convention. Nearly all the delegation so far se lected are for the free coinage of sil ver, but very few conventions have been' held yet in the Sixth and First cor gressional districts. James Fike, receiver of the United Stares land office at Colby is here attending the grand lodge of the ivments of Pythias. Mr. Fike says that out of the twenty-two counties in the Sixth district, twenty one wiil send gold delesrations to the state convention. The one which may send a silver delegation, according to Mr. Fike. is Decatur county, the home of Tuliy Scott, who is an ardent sii verite. James "W. Orr of Atchison, is a warm supporter of the administration and vouches for the First district. Politicians Gather. Albany, N. Y., May 20. Fix-Senator Thomas Piatt.

TREASURY. Our Consul General Yiews the Golden Store. Over 30,000,000 of Our Gold Coin In One Rody. Washington, May 20. The state de partment has received a report from United States Consul General Laurel, at St. Petersburg, in relation to the amount of American gold held by the Russian government. The consul gen eral says that he has seen no less than $:n,Tt)-i,H5 in good F'nited States gold coin in the coffers of the Russian gov ernment. That was on the first day of last Jan uary. The consul general was invited with the consuls of other countries at St. Petersburg to witness the transfer of a sum of 50.000.000 roubles in gold in the Russian treasury to the exchange fund of the government bank where it was needed for the redemption of pa per roubles. Included in this store of gold he saw 14,371,7,16 roubles in value of United States half eagles. While the coinage of all the nations of the world were re-presented in this particular pile of gold, no other nation save Russia itself, came any where near the store contributed by the United States to the Russian coffers. Japan came next with only 1.67S.51H roubles worth of yens, while of British gold in this pile of Rus sian money, there were pounds sterling to the small amount of less than a mil lion roubles. Afterwards to make the impression stronirer. our consul general was taken into the- bank vaults and per mitted to look upon the balance of the bank's funds held upon that particular day and saw more United States gold, this time a stack of :i.;!";:.82.'i United States gold half eagles amounting in value to .$2r,.'lt;2.fii.1 roubles, so that the Russian batik had in its possession of our gold coin 7t"a. 1 l.r). When he .asked how that amount of United Sta.tes g-old came into the possession of the Russian hank, tlie governor informed him th.at the Russian minister of finance had pur chased it at dPe-rent timers in Berlin, Paris and London. The gedd was kpt in small bags and these again in larger o'.ies which were piled up in tiers, cadi bag being sealed and ticketed with tlie li'-iioniitiation and value of the con tents. New York.

He Has Made Himself Solid With ths County Clerks. State Auditor George H. Cole is re ceiving a number of letters daily from county clerks and other officials com plimenting him on breaking the record in getting out the assessment sheets for the railway assessments of this year. It will be remembered that the sheets were sent out to county otiicials earlier this year by all the way from one to three months than ever before, which is a great aid to the county offi cers in their work. The following was received today by the auditor from .a county clerk in southern Kansas who evidently appre ciates the good record Mr. Cole has made: "The railway assessments for ispo re ceived at this date. That's business. The Lord loves a man who gets there in time for a front seat in the band wagon. May 1st bents August 1 three months or thereabouts, and two terms beats one. We are with you for another te-rm." May 19 was the date on -which auditor Cole sent out the assessments, and Aug ust It) was the date upon which the Populists completed the work two years ago.

It is said that at the meeting last night there were but thirty members present, and this almost includes the entire list of active members. The question the organization is now trying to decide is whom to sup port for county attorney and a meeting is to be held tonight for that purpose. There will be only two candidates con sidered for Mir. Tillotson is making an open fight on the "joints" and does not fill the requirements of the organiza tion.

Y'esterday there was at work a skill ful and daring quartette of crooks who operated on the depot platform for an hour, secured over $2''C) in cash, more than $10o worth of railroad tickets and a iaO diamond, and then made good their escape. Chas. Sehwenske of Eagle Grove, la., arrived in Kansas City yesterday morn ing, en route to West Plains, Mo. He had $75 and a railroad ticket when he boarded a Memphis train at 10:30. As he entered the train four men emerged and jostled against him. A few minutes later when he went to look for his pock etbook, w hich contained his money and transportation, he found it had been stolen. A passenger on the Missouri Pacific train that w ent east about S o'clock was relieved of a diamond worth $r.O. He left his name and a description of the stone with the officers and went out on the train. His name could not lie secured last evening, although one of the oili-ce-rs admitted the facts. J-'Ted Pick lives at Seward. Neb., and had been on a visit with friends in Kan sas. where he attended a Grand Array gathering. He readied the city from the west on an early train and was intend ing to go home over the Burlington rail road. Shortly after the train hacked in to the de-pot four men went to it and en tered. Each was supplied with a Bur lington mileage book. Two of them went in the front car and two in the second coach. They had been there but a few minutes when Bick also went on board. As he stepped on the platform and start ed into the coach, the four men aiso stepped out onto the platform and passed him. They left the car and aft er he recovered from the surprise of being squeezed in the hurry of the men to get out he found that his w atch was hanging out of his pocket and that his pocketbook had been lifted from his in side vest pocket. STRIKERS WIX. Armour's Kansas City Plant Concede Most of Workmen's Demands. Kansas City, May 20. The striking firemen of the Armour packing plant, who went out May6 for increased wages and fewer hours, compromised their dif ferences today. lifted the boycott against the company's meats and will return to work tomorow morning. The thousand or more employes in different departments of the plant, who were laid off because of lack of work, will all be reinstated. The firemen gain an increase of Pi cents an hour for eight hours, which is practically all they demanded. J. E. Fitzgerald, secretary of the industrial council, has accordingly issued the fol lowing: Kansas City. May 20, 1?96. To Organized Labor Everywhere: The boycott placed upon the product of the Armour Packing company has been declared off. existing difficulties having been amicably adjusted. The strikers' committee have issued the follow ing, which has been agreed to by the. strikers: "Be it resolved that this committee of 15, representing the different unions interested in the difficulty now exist ing r,t the .Armour Packing house, hav ing been assured by Air. K. B. Armour that the firemen would lose nothing If they would return to work ami would never have cause to regret their ac tion, we therefore recommend to the firemen that they return to work at 20 cents pier hour, an increase of 1', cents per hmir. and the granUr.g of eight hours a dav with direct understanding that every man who went out on the strike "May B, that all members, or other unions who have since been discharged, be also re instated without prejudice." GOLD 31 AN PBESIDES. As Temporary Chairman of Iowa Dem ocratic Con vej Mors. Dubuque, May 20. The Democratic state convention met at 11 o'clock. C. S. Ranck, chairman of the state committee, rapped for order and prayer was offered by Rev. W. D. Benton. After prayer Chairman Ranck an nounced the state committee's choice of temporary officers. The first was S. S. Wright of Cedar county as tem porary chairman. This was received with a silence that, notwithstading the agreement made last night foreboded trouble, but when Air. Wright was for mally presented the hearty welcome given him by the convention set at rest all anticipation of an open protest from the silver men. Air. Wright's speech was frequently interrupted with appplause, and when he mentioned the name of General Weaver the silver men's enthusiasm found vent in cheers, and his declara tion that silver should be considered as money at proportionate value with gold called out prolonged cheers from the gold standard people, while the silver men remained silent except in a mild protest from one or two delegates to which no attention was paid. The speaker followed this line and created immense enthusiasm among the anti-silver delegates. Boies, name brought the convention to its feet and the cheers continued fully- five min utes. Intimation of Boies' alleged in consistency was interrupted by cries of "Boies, Boies and cheers from the gold men. Cleveland's name also was enthusiastically received. At the conclusion of Mr. Wright's speech the roll of districts was called for names of committees. After the naming of the committees the conven tion adjourned until 2 p. m. BAIN MUST STAND TRIAL. A motion was argued this afternoon before Judge Foster to quash the in dictment against T. H. Bain for using the mails to defraud. Judge Foster overruled the motion and said that while the Coupon Invest ment company, of which Mr. Bain was a member, may have defrauded no one, still fraud might have been practiced under their method of doing business and he said that is a question for a jury to decide, and he accordingly overruled the motion. Mr. Bain will consequently-, have to stand trial. It Was a Leahy Fake, Anyway. Wichita, Kan., May 20.

Only Eerresentative That Toted Against tlie Eiil. ZssiP Members Will rocfcet tlie Tunl and Hire No Clerk. From Our Special Correspondent. Washincton, May 20 The charge of "steal" which has been made in some Quarters against the action of the house of representatives in voting its members annual clerks depends for its truth upon how the. matter is look ed at. The action of the house will cause the expenditure of $21 S.000 for the period vi f i the close of this session and th beginning of next, providing: each member draws his full allowance of $100 per month for clerk hire. And of course no one expects that any member will fail to perform this Utile (ilitv. Hiit while It is true that dozens of renresent ai ives perhaps, oo not need f 1 line the vat tti r and in these instances the appropriation will be in tft nature of a steal, there are scores of others, ir not a oociued majority of t m v.! j e i c rk worse Curing the vacation than during the fcs-oori. .Members so situated have paid out rv.r:v for tne necessary help from tiie;r own pockets. 1 n mistake made bv the liouse in votmsr th--mse!veS annua! in place of n ch-rk.s which thev had previous ly been allowed, was in not putting tnese clerics on the reguiar payroll of trie nom-e. Then there could have been no pos sibility ot the member drawing pay for cient hire without emplovimr a clerk, i ne resolution which passed the house !:ovrever. srives each member an al lowance ot $leu per month lor clerical hem. Thus the name of tne person em ployed bv a member doesn't appear on tne house pav roll at all. his emjiloy n;nt is a private tianaction between trie member and himselr. to a mem ber it so minded mav hire no clerk at ei! and fatten his own pocket with the I r a i jit hp a clerk for 3 75 or even a inontn and put the i -t I p 'ket. To 1 e sure the member when he draws the iw has to certnv that he has paid it cut for clerical heir, out a few breaths ct 'A a shir, cti m air have such a sooth ing: enect on c-nscience that such a trims is easv to do.

And there isn t a member of tne Kansas delegation but that needs a. clei'K ad the vear. Probabiy no constituency in the t"ni ted States is so free to write to its rep resentatives in congress as Kansas and it is doubtful if any delegation fives such prompt attention to the wants and re-iuesTs of its constituents as the Kan sas dfief.Tion. A Kansas man would rather write to his cor pressman for a bit of informa tion and wait the necessary four or five flays for a reply, than to look the same thins- up himself in an encyclopaedia in five minutes. For this kind of reasons and cn ac count of trie enormous pension business each has to attend to. Kansas congress men, all of them, keep their clerks busy ail the time. And the correspond ence is almost as large during- the re cess as during the session, so it is only lust and proper for representatives who have this heavy public work to be fur nished with help by the government which they otherwise have to employ out of their own pockets. Kone of the allowances for clerk hire drawn by Kansas congressmen has any chance to rind Its way into their own purses, their constituents keep them too busy. :LIEF FOR ESTATES. fcsnator PeSer Introduces Bill Along That Line.

Four Ellis Eefore Congress Shut Out to Undesirable Immigrants From Foreign Countries. ONE BILL IS STRICT. Will Admit No One to Our Shores Who Can Not Read and Write English. Washington, May 20. The house has entered upon a two days debate of the immigration bills reported from the immigration committee. Mr. William Stone of Pennsylvania and Mr. Trace well of Indiana argued for a restric tive measure. Mr. Corliss of Michigan for his bill, designed to put an end to Canadian competition with American labor; Mr. Morse of Massachusetts and Mr. Barth oldt of Missouri for the educational test bill. The feature of the debate was the plea of Mr. Buck of Louisiana against any sort of restrictive legisla tion beyond that now on the statute books, which excluded paupers and criminals. The immigration bills w-ere four in number. One known variously as the I'.artholdt, McCall, or Lodge bill pro vided an educational test. It excluded all male persons between 1G and 60 years of age. who could not read and write English or some other language. Another, the Stone bill, provided for tile inspection of immmrants by our consular officers and their certification that the immigrants do not belong to any of the classes of immigrants ex cluded by existing contract labor or other immigration laws. This bill was off-Ted as an amend ment to the Itartholdt-McCail bill. Tlie Corliss bill offered as a substi tute applied wholly to the Canadian border and made it unlawful for any alien to enter tlie United States (ex cept to teach new arts or industries) and to engage in any mercantile trade r manual labor. The provision of the bill does not to apply to sailors on the great lakes. The Mahaney bill, also offered as a substitute makes all con tracts by aliens to perform labor in the United States illegal. It also makes it a misdemeanor for any person to per form labor in the United States who has become a citizen of the United States and returned to a foreign coun- try to make that his home. Mr. Ma haney's substitute was ruled out on a point of order. Mr. Johnson (Rep.. Cal.) then offered a sweeping measure to absolutely exclude all "'foreign I born' laborers.skelled or unskilled, and to make captains and masters of ves sels responsible tor the character of their passengers. This was also ruled out. Mr. P.artheldt said that there was no question so much talked about and so little understod as tile problem of im migration. There was. he thontrht too j much passion and prejudice in the de mand from certwin ounrters in favor of the exclusion ()f foreigners. Good im-mim-ation. he urged was desirable. His bill was a moderate measure for the exclusion of the illiterate. An educa tional tst he pointed out. would not materially affect immigration from Germany and other countries of north ern Europe. He warned his Renubli can associates that as the advocates of the durational test for immigration they could go to the country, but con sular inspection that would cut off all immigration save of the undesirable sort from Germany and Scandinavia could never be success," u!ly defended. Mr. Traoeweii (Ret).. Ini.) who fol lowed Bart hold t. prefac-d his remarks by stating that he was not an A. P. A., and declared himself in favor of all the bills reported by the committee. They were not inconsisre.nl. he argued, and coull ail be passed with benefit to the conn try. Mr. W. A. Stone (Rep. Pa.) the au thor of the Stone bill, explained its provisions and advocated its passage The country, he argued, had long suf fered from unrestricted immigration. The immigration for the iat ten years had exceeded the natural in crease. Mr. Bart hold t challenged this statement, contending that the natural increase was one million a, year while the immigration had averaged only about a quarter of a million last year. Mr. Stone said that during the hard times of the past three years immigra tion had fallen off. but with the return of prosperity and high wages it would increase to startling proportions. Mr. Corliss (Rep. Mich.) submitted an argument in favor of his bill for the exibision of foreigners who crossed our frontiers each year to compete with American labor. He quoted the testi mony of inspection agents and others along the Canadian border as to the evil effects of the annual influx of the Canadian "birds of pnsage." Mr. Morse (Rep. Mass.) favored the McCall bill. He said that there was a strong demand in the country for rad ical legislation to restrict immigration and that congress could not afford to disregard it. Mr. Buck mora. La.) a naturalized German opposed restriction of immigra tion in eloquent language. An educational test, he Insisted, was valueless as a measure of paeiiy. man's ca- WOMEN'S EOARD OF MISSION The Cumberland Presbyterian Church. Closes Its Session. Memphis, Term., May 20. At the ses sion of the Women's Board of Misions of the Cumberland Presbyterian church a communication was read from Mrs. W. W. Beck of Seattle. Wn. The letter was a stirring appeal to the board to carry the missionary work into the great fields of the far west. "Young Ladies' Work" was then ta ken up for discussion. Mrs. Bergen of Mat t-.on.

Miss Morgan, missionary to Japan. had some heloful suggestions to make, as also did Mrs. Harris, one of the editors of the Christian Observer, who has had much experience in work among young people.

"You'd find it rather pleasant to have rne dropping in every day about this time and staying to dinner, wouldn't you?" "What are you talking about?" she ex claims, lifting hor had impatiently. "'Why, if you should marry me." "Well, I'm not going to marry you, and I'm not going to got this letter finished if you don't go away." There is a silence, brokn only by tho frantic scratching of her pen. "Some one wishes to speak to yon at tho telephone, miss, says a voice from the doorway. "As usual," she murmurs, rising hur riedly and shutting the door bahind her with a bang. The draft blows a sheet of her letter off the desk and wickedly drops it on the edge of the divan. Her writing is abominably clear. He catches sight of his own name, and for a se- ond is lost. "He has just come in, in his dear lit tle jolly way, pretetidiug isevcr to mean anything and really moaning everything. I'm going fast. If man only knew enough to use personal violence, tiiey'd often" Ho suddenly realizes that this is base treachery, and resolutvly shutting his eyes replaces the sheet on the deak as he hear her step in the hall. She comes in, all un suspecting. Hr latter did not catch tha overland that day in fart, it wasn't even finished, and he never said anything about its little adventure. Sneaking, wasn't it? Ex change. A Pageant la 1761. The most important royal visit to the city of London on a lord mayor's day was in 1761, tlie year ef the coronation of King George III. The lord mayor, ijir Saruual Fludyer, determined to inaugurate his year of office by asking tho then newly crowned king and queen to honor the city festivities with their presence, and a large sum of money was voted by the common council to offer their majesties a loyal and hearty welcome. A revival of the ancient pageants was decided upon, but instead of giving the commission to one of the many poets who flourished at that prriod an old work, written by Matthew Taubmau for the ceremony of 1683. was rpprinted, with slight alterations and revisions, for the oc casion as a guide to the show. The king and queen attended, and the lord mayor's procession rivaled that of coronation day. The streets wore lined with tapestries, triumphal arches were erected at proper distances, and in the evening the city of London was gayly il luminated. After this brilliant display tho annual processions were not by any moans marked by such striking features of originality or vigor as some of the pro ceding years. The probable cause cf the nonrevival of the ancient pageants on lord mayor's day was no doubt owing to "the late Mr. Pope ridiculing the whole affair and the last oltici.il poet in '"Tlie Duneiad." That once popular poein. however, is little read nowadays, except by a few literary students, while the lord mayor's show, though shorn of its ancient glories, is still popular with tho masses. Gentleman's Magazine. Oame Shad. Joseph English says in the Manchester H. Mirror that shad are game fsh. and that they will rise to a small bright ily as gamely almost as a brook trout, and that it is the regular thing for anglers to haul in hickory shad. They are said to give a "bull minnow's nibble and a casSsis'a Lite." The following conclusive statement of facts i3 guaran teed by tha American Newspaper Directory the standard authority on newspaper ratings. This directory is published at No. 10 Spruce street, New York City, and such is its car to pretect itself from loss and preserve its national reputation for accurate ratings that it makes the S1C0 guaranty to only eight dailies in the entire state of Kansas. The edition fcr 189S will bs issued in May. Ths Directory authorizes the publication of the follow ing: "The Topeka Daily State Journal has credit for tho largest circulation accorded to any daily published in tha Fourth Congressional District of Kansas, which has a popu lation of 214,544, and the publishers of the American News paper Directory guarantee the accuracy of the circulation rating accorded to this paper by a reward of 1100 to the first person who successfully assails it." This is one of the most sweeping and convincing guar anties ever made in behalf of a Kans as newspaper. It is an announcement of interest to every purchaser oi Clothing and to every purchaser of any other kind of mer chandise, who lives not only in Topeka, but in this con gressional district of eleven counties in thi3 portion of Kansas. It leads these purchasers to believe that all Topeka merchants who have any interesting: facts to present to pros pective purchasers will not fail to present them through th'eir favorite paper, the Topeka Daily Daily Daily Daily Daily fSJ"Remember that "It is not what tising, but what advertising pays you." VERY HARD. Sentences of 15 Years in Pris on Imposed On John Hays Hammond and Otlier Prisoners. IS MUCH TOO SEVERE. The Pnrishment Regarded In England As Too Great. Will Produce Hore Eitter Feel ing Than Ever. London, May 20. A Pretoria dispatch to the Times dated May 18 says: The executive council today decided that the punishment of Colonel Francis Rhodes, Lionel Phillips. G. It. Farrar and John Hays Hammond (the leaders of the reformers who were sentenced to death) shall be fifteen years' impris onment. The hope is entertained that these sentences Willi be modified. The decision of the sentence of the other re formers is still awaited. The Times explains in an editorial that there is a bare possibility that in itsPretoria dispatch fifteen years means the period of banishment instead of im prisonment. "If it means imprisonment," says the Times, "it is almost equivalent to a death sentence and will produce a pain ful impression of surprise as being se vere beyond all expectations and its tendency will be to perpetuate political strife." The Daily Telegraph has a dispatch from Pretoria dated Monday, May 18, which says the executive council, after a heated discussion, postponed the final decision in the punishment for the re form leaders until the next day (Tues day). A difficulty has arisen, says this dispatch, from the fact that fifty-two of the prisoners, including the leaders, have signed a petition asking for a, commutation of their sentences to fines, while ten of the prisoners have refused to sign.

About 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon a terrific rain storm occurred here and about two inches of water fell in about 20 minutes, and rain continued to fall throughout the afternoon. The rainfall for the last seven days has been heav ier than ever before in the same length of time. The country to the north of this city for miles is entirely under water. A section of country about four miles wide is covered to a depth of two feet, and if it rises higher many families will have to leave their homes. A mile of the tracks of the Council Bluffs road near Forest City, which was washed out last Sunday had been repaired and was ready for use, but it is feared this afternoon's rain will undo the work. Much track on several lines is under water. A Look Through South Missouri for Four Cents.

Everybody, even the- most staid of regulars, had cat! slit the infection, and everybody had become a partisan. To add to the excitement Colonel Hill MoG uipan. minus coat, was seen to rush franti cally out on tiie track and as he waved on hich his over- iresent umbr-.-ila, he cried out something- that sounded like "My mare can beat any hers a in Amer ica." and then making Iris way nearer to the judge's stand, he called up.

Resolutions de nouncing as disgraceful the sale of in toxicating liquors in the capitol at We shangton and commending the biil reported by the house committee pro hibiting it. were adopted by the Meth odist general conference today. I.oais Curti? was re-elected book a gent of the Western Look concern at Cincinnati. Tire committee on the state of the church reported in favor of no change in the rule prohibiting the use or en couragement of liquor, dancing, games of char-c-e, theater going, circuses and horse races. Dr. J. B. Graw of New Jersey, vio lently opposed any change. Dr. Ber ry said he had carefully investigated the desires of the young people and on behalf of the younb people of the church he protested against any change. Further debate was closed by moving the previous question. Dr. Walsh of Kentucky, who was present ing the report insisted on his right to speak, bur. cries of "Vote, Vote," drowned his voice. The rule was then voted 011 and remains the same by an overwhelming majority. Only about 40 voted in favor of striking out the restrictions Dr. Man is was then elected junior book agent for Xew York thus making the Xew York agents Dr. Eaton and Dr. Manis. Dr. II. C.

Hiss Clara Barton Savs the Turkish Powers Aid Her in Every Way. Washington, May 20. Secretary Ol ney has received a letter from Miss Clara Barton in which, referring to ru mors that she was prohibited from dis tributing relief in Asia Minor, except under direction and control of the Turk ish authorities, and from lists of per sons furnished by Turkish officials, she emphatically denies that any members 01- officials of the Turkish government have ever tried to direct or control her distributions. Sire adds: Sir Phillip Currie has done and is doing splendid work in facilitating the labors and distributions of the heroic missionaries: the Angio-American oper ations. through consuls and missionar ies, and in a general way, our own af fairs." "As the Turkish government is thor oughly convinced there is no political significance attached to our visit: that we have no sectarian interests to serve, and certainly no racial prejudices, there have been no requests which they have not granted, no suggestions which they have not favorably acted upon. Our ever?.- desire has received respectful at tention, careful consideration and cor dial concession." CHINESE 10 1 TMS C03IING. A Party of Boys Sent Here to Grow Up With the Country. Xew York, May 20. The Chinese, gov ernment has awakened to the fact that the recent defeat by their smaller but more highly educated neighbor Japan, was due entirely to the inculcation in the latter nation of western methods, in view of possible future complica tions the Chinese government has de cided to recognize the superiority of foreign training. As a result twenty Chinese boys ranging in ago from 10 to 12 years will soon make their appear ance in this country. Unlike their pre deceasors these visitors come as child ren to become skilled in mechanical arts. The youngsters will come over in care of Rev. Hui Kin. superintendent of the Presbyterian church mission who is a graduate of an American college and the third Chinaman to be ordained in this country. Rev. Kin left for Jap an, in January and according to the re ports sent in by him. preach .-d the gos p d with success in Tokio. thence to China. lb" found that government 'easy with the problem of the advanced education cf its young m-n. Three ilrjnsarid of its young men were b ir.g sent at government expense to Germany and oth-'rs to France. Mr. Kin saw what the- Chinese officials had not -en that o property educate the Oriental in. western methods he must fie brought here while v:n-y young. Finally as an experiment, it was de cided to p -rmit the minister to bring back with him to America, 20 boys. He seiec -ted the sons of farmers, as being better fitted physically to enter into m c 1: a n i e a 1 1 1 -a i n i n g. The expenses of the pupils are paid by their fathers. The party left China some time ago and will arrive in San Francisco next week reaching this city early in June. The boys will be im mediately taken to some nearby coun try place where they wiil remain dur ing the summer tinder the watchful eye of Rev. Kin. During- the summer they will be taught the rudiments of the English language as well as tiie tenets of Christianity and or; their return to the city in the fall will take up their me chanical studies.

It appears that the delay in appointing- a surowr to Walter N". Allien has served a double purpose. It has saved the state some money and saved the Sixth district for Governor Morrill if Lockard and his friends can deliver it. Osborne Farmer: Topeka is to have an enormous crowd tit the state sol diers' reunion next fail.

TIo Louisiana election centr versy fcas ended, as they always do n the south, in the svo-ingr of th Democrat. There is little doubt that the Republican- Populist candidate was elected, but the other side hud the machinery End knew how to use it. La Cropse Chieftain: Topeka is al ready at work in do-ad earnest on its much talked of fall festival. Six thous and dollars will be expended on mag nificent floats, i-luniinated processions, fiambeau displays and grand tableaux on the south portico of the state cap itol. The name for the bia; carnival will be the "Kansas G. A. R. Reunion ltd Toptka's Annual Festivities for the Union Veterans of 1S61-65, September 2S, S3, S3, October 1, 2, S, liSS.- Chetopa Advance: An examination of the election returns of two years aS reveals some very interesting facts just at this time. Morrill's plurality was 3' Troutman's was 33,536. Although Morrill had such a bis majority over all others at the convention he seems to have been less popular at the polls. The vote reveals the further fact that if the opposition vote had been com bined on one man. Morrill would have been defeated by 1.8:i9 votes, and yet Troutirian, with a combined opposition aeainst him, would have been elected by 1,963 votes. In eighty-one counties Troutman received more votes than Morrill. Troutman is even more popu lar now than he was two years ago, be cause of the magnificent canvass he made at that time. He won friends everywhere. We heard one delegate to the state convention two years ago say that after hearing Troutman make his speech before the convention he was sorry he did not vote for him for gov ernor, and he said other delegates felt as he did about the matter. The truth of the matter is that today the people of Kansas are nearly as strong in the state for Troutman as they are in the nation for MeKinley. The politicians are aeainst MeKinley and Troutman. But this year the politicians don't stem to be in it. They are not in the nation, and we hope they Willi not be in the state. No one can give the figures to sub stantiate it. but there is a reliable story abroad that Burton's hold on western Kansas has loosened. Wichita He never had any hold. The Burton boom is confined principally to Wichita and Dodge City, and it's a riitrhty slim boom even there. Ashland Journal. Tlie more Mr. Burton S"cs about and "mineies" the smaller his boom grows. With all his acquirements. Mr. Burton lias failed to acquire sincerity. Always artiti'dal. never genuine. It is the char acter of the man. Some learn to con ceal, but Mr. Burton is unable to fool many. Pittsburg Tribune: The Grand Army reunion at Topeka next fall will be the bir occasion of the season in Kan sas. The people of the state would like to for once see what Topeka can do in the way of entertaining; a large crowd. They have been disappointed some times in the past.

LARGE cue? cf ms THIS YEAH. They Appear Earlier Than Usual In The Path of the Atlantic Liners and Add to the Picturesqueness end Perils of Navigation. Abont this season of the year the pas etijrers and cfiieers en the Atlantic liners come into port and tell startling yarns fcbottt narrow escapes from icebergs and marvelous stories describing their plircpsps of these weird and ghostly phantoms of tlie deep. This spring it seems tho steamers, have njet ice earlier thaa usual and berfs in greater num bers than for years. The charts sent out by the hydrograpliic bureau show that the corth Atlantic is dotted with float ing mcur tains of ice. The lower edge c f the ice pack extends down across tho path taken Ly the fast passenger steam ships, and not a captain in the service but feels more or less anxiety until his craft is safely past the ice belt. The appearance of large numbers of bergs at this time of the year indicates that there will be a big crop of them r.IP.TIIPLACE OF THE TCKDEISO. this pntnmor. About once in ten years this recurs, and such seasons have gen erally teen marked in the past by ocean disasters. Just 40 years ago this sum mer the greatest mass cf ice ever known to have F.ppeare I in tlie Atlantic drifted down frcm the arctic regions, and many a good ship met disaster among the bergs. It is to be hoped, though, with tho powerful scarchlighls with which steamers are now- equipped, and with the increased methods of warning sailors cf such dangers, the summer may pass without a repetition of such catastrophes. Most of the people who crowd to the rail of a big liner in r.iidocean when tlie word is passed around frcra pikt house, to steerage, "Iceberg to starboard," have but a dim idea as to where the strange visiter came from. Ther marvel at th-" faiitiist;o shnpes cf its peaks and pinnacles, at the glory of its colors, at the chill which it causes in the atmos phere and speculate vnguoiy us to how and why it left its far'. -if home. Tlie unnibT of ppcpl nlivc who have witnessed that grand and awful sight, the birth cf an iceberg, ore few indeed. Those who have tell lis that it is one of the most impressive and awe inspiring exhibitions cf any c f which tlie forces cf nature allow man to be a speculator. Through the cyr-s of some cf these bold investigators let us trace one cf these icy mountains of tho deep from the cradle to tho grave. Of course when we look for the home cf tho iceberg wo turn naturally to Greenland. That vast and mysterious island, which scree explorers say should be called ;i continent, is entirely cover ed by a great sea of ice, mauy thousand? of IV-et. deep. This is called tho ice can. The immense falls of snow yearly in creaso it in thickness. On tlie top it is merely snow, but as this melts it sinks down and under pressure of many tons becomes ice, clear as crystal and atnicst as solid and haid as uutrMe. The pressure of this great mass, so enormous that, we can scarcely realize it, does something more than chango snow into ice. It causes a slow but gradual movement cf the great ice cap over tlie surface of tho country, which slope s gently to Hie coast. As the ice reaches the shore it is met by a barrii r in the shape of a rugged range of rocky mountains. If there were no outlet, tlie me sea would overflow tneir tops, high o. oi k I

Into these the ice cap pours its solid rivers, which scientists call glaciers. The rste at which they move is so slow as to bo imperceptible three or four feet a year at racist. Yet these riv ers are hundrois of miles long. With out Eny figuring you can see that the ice which finally reaches the ocean after such a trip xuvst be centuries old. Xow v.-e will look at the mouth of one of thoss arctic rivers of ice. The scene in summer is one of deceptive tranquillity. You can see th precipitous cliffs from between which tlie glacier protrudes. A wall of ice from 350 to 400 feet high has been pushed out into the bay. Against- its foot the waves lap jreutly. The great mass cf ice looks as stable and as solid as the rocky prom ontory beside it. All is peace. Suddenly sornethir.g happens. With a tremendous roar and a crash like a peal cf tfcvuidep a big section cf the eiacit-r STORY OF 1 s e a- foot splits off, and before the echoes have ceased it is tossing and rolling like some huge leviathan. The water is lashed into foam all around it, and huge waves chase each other about in reckless confusion. An iceberg has been born. Captain C. F. Hall, who was a poet as well as an exnlorer, has described such a scene in Verse as follows: Hark! A dull crash, a howlin?, ravenous yell, Opcnine full symphony of ghastly sound; Jarrintr. yet blunt, ns if the dismal hell Leaf its stranga anguish from the reat pro found, Thretigh nil its scale the horrid discord ranar, K'jw mocked the beait-, now took the gro&n of nin. Gradually the water becomes calm, the noises cease, the huge berg finds its equilibrium, and then, from out thosa glacial solitudes, begins its long journey gout h ward. The cause of the splitting of the berg from the glacier is better understood now than it used to be. The first ex plcrrers saw masses of ice drop from the tops of the cliffs into the sea. This was still more spectacular and grand. But Dr. Kane found that most of the bergs were formed at the months of the gla ciers where the ice rivers projected into the sea. It is the upward pressure of the water on the floating end of the glacier that breaks off tho bergs, so that they do not ordinarily drop into the sea, but rise from it. The first year or so of the iceberg's existence may be passed as part of the ice floe in which it is securely locked by the winter formation. But when the spring conies and the pack is broken up by fierce storms the berg is released and swings out into tho arctic current to take its place in the procession that moves majestically southward. Xow its days are numbered. All goes well, however, as it sweeps down through Davis straits. Its appearance is sub stantial and formidable. Its walls rise almost perpendicularly for over SCO feet. Its sides may bo seametl and grooved from its contact with the mountains which it has passed, but its top is cov ererl with pure white snow. As the berg rounds the Newfound land coast it first feels the warm lap of the Gulf stream which is to destroy it. Its progress up to this time has been somewhat rapid, but now it goes more slowly. The reason for this is that tho upper current cf warm water is moving north. Yet it moves on against current and wind, for tlie great mass f the berg, which extends eight times as far under tho water as it towers above it, is urged on by the underlying arctic cur rep f By the time the brg has reached a point opposite- the northern coast cf Labrador the warm sun above and the warm waves at its water lino have be gun to chauge its appearance. Its top is 110 longer a level plateau, but is molded into queer shapes. A south wind will Fet tiie waves to carving out a great cavern in its exposed side. Tlie snow on its top will melt and run off the sides iu i THK BXr.G IN ITS OI.P AGE. impetuous cataracts that wear away the walis until they look like spires or pin nacles. In its passage over the Grand bank the berg will generally ground two or three times, and will not move until its size lias been diminished sufficiently for it to float again. When it does move off, it encounters tlie full force of tho Gulf stream. Then disintegration goes on rapidly. The wave caverns are worn clear through until tiiey form arches. Jutting cliffs are formed, which break off of their own weight and fall into the sea. Tlie berg is worn away at the water line and below it, so that it be comes top heavy. Then it topples over with a great crush. "Turning turtle," the sailors call this, and woe to the un lucky ship that happens to be in the way when this occurs. This inclination of bergs to roll over makes it dangerous for curious spectators to approach too closely to them. As the berg gets farther south the water grows warmer and the rays of the sun stronger. It changes position often, and is split up into smaller pieces. These smaller bergs do not last long, ami finally disappear altogether, leav ing not a trace of the great white mass which left its arctic cradle with so much commotion only a few months be fore. Icebergs of large size are seldom seen below latitude 41 decrees, which is about opposite the port of New York, and thry never get farther south than 40 degrees. The snow of which they were formed, and which fell ages ago in the region around the pole, returns again to liquid shape and mingles with the waters of the Atlantic. Cyrus Sylvester.

Defore lie joined the Dem ocratic party there was no trouble in Shawnee county. Since then there has been nothing- but trouble. I am told the committee save no notice to the country precincts of the primary. There were no primaries heid in the country, i and the great rain storm prevented the I attendance of country Democrats. A motion was made to .adjourn me Con vention to a future day. Ihe fellows who did not vote the ticket in 1P4 voted it down. Tile committe pretended to follow the leial primary system. Un der it the law reijuires a live day no tice. The only notice in the city even was published only tw. nty-four hours before tile primaries in an obscure cor ner of the Journal, in obscure print, in a late edition of the paper, so that few would see it. Thus the law was vio lated and a fraud was practiced upon the honest Democratic voters by these shysters in charge of the machine. The real Democrats were left in ignorance of the tact of a primary and of the time and place thereof, while the heel ers and strikers of "the gans" were fully posted for more than a week be- fore'hand of the time and place of each i primary. The result was no expression ,i-l.-.t..,-,. tl!.. i .r, t ..p Iw, at.,fl. oerats of Shawnee county. Very few major part of the ring vote was of men who have not voted the Demo cratic ticket for six years past. This is not the first instance in which this element has flouted me. Twice before has it occurred in county conventions. Three times in all, and Snyder, Frank Thomas' man Friday, in the chair every time. DAVID OVERJIYEK. ANTI-M'.IvliLEY A. P. A.

Admission iwc MORBILL HAKES a DEAL Jy Which He Expects to Secure the Wyamlotte Delegation. Appoints a New Police Eoard at Kansas City. The New Commissioners Are Trickett Hen and of Course Suppor ters of Jack Harris. Despite Gov. Morrill's repeated dec laration that he would make no change in the police commissions of Kansas City, Kan., and Wichita, he has at last changed the commission of the former city. There are two political reasons for the change made by the governor. One of them is that he places the commis I sion in the hands of the Trickett fac j tion in Wyandotte polities and helps 1 Jack Harris; and another is that he has made a deal with Trickett for the Wy andotte delegation in the state conven tion by his action. For over a month. Mayor George J. Twiss of Kansas City, Kan., and sev eral politicians from the city at the mouth of the Kaw, have been running j incessantly to Topeka and telling the governor about their trouoies down i there and Hskinir for a dianzp in the commission which would permit the col lection of monthly fines from the joir.t ists in order to stop the deficit in the city treasury. Gov. Morrill has stead fastly refused to take any action till yesterday, when he removed the old commission, at the instigation of C. W. Trickett. the anti-i luehan leader, and Mayor Twiss, appointing a brand new board. The old commissioners were: J. Cas key, S. McCoiinell and Jacob Gress. The n-w members are: Otis Clatlln. John E. Sterrett and Thomas Worthington. Of the milliters of the old commission McCoiinell, who was chairman, is one of tile strong Duchan sympathizers in the late disturbance in V "yandotte and v. hich v- as ca: i i-d to Dawrence. Mr. MfConr.cIl is also one of the active workers against Jack Harris' election in t'ne coit ity. Cress, the Democratic member of ike old board, is a fusionist ami trying to work tiie fusion racket as against Harris in Wyandotte. Of the n-w members. ClnfMn is a druggist and local politician: Sterrett is assistant superintendent of the Swans child Suzoiiburg Packing company, and Worthington, the Democratic mem ber, is a stalwart and opposed to fus- I ion. He has been under sheriff in Wy I andotte county and is well known as a local politician. The Republican mem- bt"rs nre r tht' Ti ickett faith and will work for Jack Harris for congress nro- id..

;o into politics as their pre- der-essors did There will be both satisfaction and dis-ntisfac tion in Kansas Rtv over the haiige. The Puchans are down on the 1 ric'vetts, cr an' one wno nas any who has tb.ii'.g to do with that faction, ami 110 matt-r if fines are collected and the city finances in 1 otter condition. the Buchans wiil still light the board on account of th- supremacy of the opposing faction and the political deal in connection with it. Mr. Trickett's main plea, to the gov erneir was that the city was tunning be lli nel about io.O'Xi per month in its ex penses 011 account of the new ordinance recently passed which could not be en forced. Trickett ami those with, him in sisted ttiat the only way to deal with the joints in their city was to have a system of monthly fine collections, and it is likely that tiie new board will put this into operation immediately. V7H.L BAKES EUKP Sixth District Congressman'3 Inten tions Uncertain. There is some doubt as to whether or not Congressman William Baker of the Sixth district is a candidate for renom ination this year. Mr. Raker is quoted from Washington as practically saying that if the nomination came to him he would take it. ami that he might even light for it. R. M. Sutherland of Jew ell, however, who claims to know all about it, says that Raker is not and will j not be a candidate. Sir. Sutherland was mentioned some time ago as a possible candidate, but says he will not go into the race. Jewell county, according to Mr. Sutherland, wili send a delegation to the congres sional convention instructed for W. K. Push, editor of the Mankato Advocate. WYANDOTTE KEDEEISEKS. George Irlartin Says the County Must Ee Eescued From Trickett Control. There is a determined effort on the part of the Buehan people in Wyan dotte county to defeat Jack Harris, the nominee for congress in the Second dis trict, if it can be done. George Martin, editor of the Kansas City, Kan., Ga zette, is practically at the head of the movement, acting under the sunervis-. ion. probably, of Billy Buehan. Mar tin in his paper is moving heaven and earth to beat Harris and is extremely bitter in his denunciations of the anti Buchan men. who made Harris' nom ination possible. It is not so much opposition to Har ris that is respimsible for all this or ganization in Wyandotte county to de feat the Republican nominee as it is opposition to the Trickett faction. As George Martin said yesterday, "We want to teach those other fellows that they cannot run our politics in this county. They make Wyandotte a butt of ridicule and the whole state is laugh ing at us. Trickett is unscrupulous and we are going to down him completely. He has basely betrayed But ban by tell ing him ho- would support him and then fighting him bitterly in the county con vention and at Lawrence. On account of all this tiie Buehan sympathizers will never rest until they defeat not only the man who was nominated, but the man who nominated him, even though the success of the Republican ticket is endangered thereby. We are bound to redeem this county at any cost." There is an organization sailing un der the colors of a so-called McKiniey club that now numbers about 125 mem bers. This club ie known as a "county club," and is the result of the anti-Trickett-Harris meeting held at the armory in Kansas City. Kan., last week. Sub-clubs are now being organized all over the county and the Buehan men are pushing things all they can. Their primary intention is to kill off Harris when he enters Wyandotte county, by a majority for his opponent of any where between 2.000 and 3.000 votes. George Martin puts it at 3,000. Then they will beat Trickett if he is a can didate for the state senate, provided they are strong enough to do so.

The names of Senator Edwin Taylor and Mason It. I'eters, both Populists and fusionists, are most mentioned. The foiling in Wyandotte is that Cub bison will be a candidate? for the state senate, and will be elected, despite the action of the Trickett people, who may run either their own leader or James F. Getty. Mark Cromwell, editor of a weekly paper in Kansas City, is a candidate for the Republican nomina tion for representative frcim the other city district of Wyandotte now repre sented by Allen. O. 1. B. AND A. P. A. Both Strong in Sedgwick and Iiikely to Cause Trouble. Representative Otto Eckstein and Pat Rohrbaugh of Sedgwick county will both probably be candidates for re nomination, but there is a possibility of their defeat. Regarding their chances, P.epresenta us tive Rohrbaugh says: "The trouble with us down there is that the O. 51. B. and the A. P. A. are very strong in Wichita and both organizations have it in for Eckstein and me. I think Eck stein will probably pull through, but I have my doubts as to my own chances. However, if I see there is much of a fight upon me, I wiil pull out for I don't want any more trouble in the Sedgwick political atmosphere than there is now." Speakins of the situation in Sedg- clearer and handsomer than they can be made to appear on print paper. The picture on upper right hand corner of the envelope may be interpreted as one pleases. The designer did not vouch safe to say what it means. It represents the state house in a glare of light with three gnomeiike creatures, apparently gazing on it in wrapt enthusiasm. These may be politicians who would like a job in the state house, or it may symbolize envious rival cities blinded by the glor ies of Topeka's Fail Festival.

An Ingalls Irian Nominated For State Senator in the Fifth District Contrary to the general expectation, but agreeably to all. Charles F. John son of Oskuioosa, was nominated yes terday for state senator by the Repub licans of the Fifth senatorial district. The convention was held at Lawrence and veas a peaceful, ouiet affair, ai'te-r a few preliminaries. The Douglas del egation composed of delegates selected by the county central committee, held their seats, though the opponents of this way of selecting delegates to a con vention, wanted the nomination of sen ator deferred to a later date on this ac count. The effort failed, and Johnson was nominated by acclamation. The conventicm passed no resolutions upon the senatorial situation, but the recent action of the Jefferson county convention endorsing John J. Ingalls, is thought to practically bind Johnson to his support. Charles F. Johnson is one of the leading politicians in the First district. He is a lawyer and about 40 years of age. He has served as coun ty treasurer of Jefferson county, was elected state senator in IfcSS and ap pointed bank commissioner by Govern or Humphrey in IS'jI. when that office was created. He was succeeded by John Breidenthal in lsb3. soo erable fun can be got out of guesses.

Furnished by Topeka Grain and Stock Exchange, 526 Kansas Avenue. Chicago, ally 20. There was an easier opening on ac count of lower cables and moderate re ceipts i nthe northwest, but the decline was only fractional, as bad crop news from the northwest began pouring in and as the crowd went home short last night the market was in a position where it could easily advance on any good buying or short covering, and as a result shorts got rattled and bid the market up on each other. We look for a better market from this time on, as it must be borne in mind tha.t we are just now passing through the most critical stage of the growing crop. We beiieve that wheat should be bought on all soft spots, as any material advance in our market would bring good buying orders from foreigners, as they never commence to buy until our market has an up turn of three or four cents. The prudent speculator will act wisely if he takes time by the forelock and gets in and m M SSSi T 625 ij Kansas Av w w owns some wheat, as we believe that wheat bought at these prices is a bet ter investment than government bonds. Corn and oats were strong despite the fact that outsiders and receiving houses were active sellers. Chlm-h bugs are expected to do great damage should the weather turn dry. Pork was a weak sister on account of the heavy run of hogs and the low prices at the yards, which brought heavy selling orders from outsiders. We believe pork bought at these prices is a bargain and if protected with a reasonable margin will reward hand somely. Market Gossip. London: Wheat off coast, steady: on passage, steady.

New York, May There was a continuation of stagna tion in the stock market today and about half of the day's transactions were contributed by Sugar alone. It is evident that holders of stocks are anxious to get out and are easily dislodged from their position. Sugar has recently shown a total ab sence of support and the general mar ket conditions, it must be confessed. are not favorable to investment buyers. The railroad list does not present, a promise of early activity. There is some doubt as to Europe's future attitude toward St. Paul and speculation in the grangers is some what retarded. Continual dread of gold shipments tends to keep buyers out of the market and we believe there will be a good break on the whole list before they can be induced to take hold. Sales on quick bulges should return handsome profits until the situation changes materially for the better. Range of Prices on Stocks. Topeka Grain Exchange, ri Ks, Av.2n. m. Op'n. High. Low. Cl'se.

0 V STATE JOURNAL, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAX 20, 189(5. The County Commissioner From the North District Has Hade a Record That Shouli Interest Voters In Selecting Some One Else to Look After the County Affairs. The office in ivhich the people of Shawnee county are more interested than any other is county commissioner. That board has control of all the ex penditures of money on behalf of the county and th positions of the mem hers are accordingly important. While the salary of a county commissioner is final! in comparison with his duties, the people should not be less careful in his se-leetion. This year a commissioner is to be elected from the north district which includes all the territory north of the Kansas river. County Commissioner D. A. Wi'diams is seekeing a reiiumina tioii and it is proper for the people to look over his record of three years to see whether he has done his full duty and has taken care of the iuterestes of the county. It is doubtful if the record of Mr. Wiitbims is su h as to entitle him to re flection arnl it is not surprising that there is opposition to his rem 'initiation, lie voted with the other members of tie b .itrd to pa nearly Sl.-Jcu to political strikers to dispose of the last install ir.ont of court hotise bonds without a shadow of justitication. As the serv ants of the county the board should have disposed of the bonds themselves and there was absolutely no excuse for the action of the board in voting away of the people's money. It is the business .1 of .Mr. Wil liams as a public onieer that is at tacked and ret his record as a private oitiZ'-n. It is certain that he is not a safe man to trust with the affairs of the county and this is the foundation for the opposition to his reiiomination. There is opposition to Mr. Williams in his own township and it is stated pos itively that lie will be defeated there. His opponent is Mr. Frank Fleming, a successful firmer and a near neighbor of Mr. Williams at Silver Lake. Mr. Fie-mir.g has made a success of his business and for twenty-two years he has lived in Shawnee county. He has lived on the farm he now occupies for sixteen years and his record is a clear one. He is a heavier taxpayer than Mr. Williams and would consequently take more interest in the affairs of the county. The contest next Saturday will be be tween pr. Fleming and Mr. Williams and the record of the two men justifies the Journal in savins? that Mr. Fleming should be nominated. HALF HATE FARES. The Transcontinental Passenger Asso ciation Grants Privileges San Francisco. May 20. The Trans continental Passenger association has concluded its labors and adjourned to meet in Chicago at a date to be deter mined upon by Chairman Caldwell. The definite work it accomplished here was to make an agreement with the roads between the Missouri river and Chicago by which the half rates will be given the Republican national convention at St. Louis, the Hem ocra.tic convention at Chicago ,the G. A. It. en campmer.t at St. Paul and the Young People's Daptist convention at Milwau kee. The half rates will apply from all western cities to the four eastern cities mentioned above. Arrangements were also made with the roads east of Chi cago and St. Louis by which half rates will be given to the Christian Kndeavor convention at Washington, the National Ktlucat lonal association at Buffalo and the Prohibition national convention at Pittsburg.

Eeport3 From the Otoe Reservation Cominj In Slowly. Palls City, Neb., May 20. All efforts to ascertain the extent, of the cyclone damage in the (Jtoe reservation have been unavailing. The report of forty killed and many injured cannot be veriiied. The report is said to have been brought from the interior of the reservation by a courier. Nws travels slowly on the reservation tinder favorable circumstances, and with all forms cf communication ren dered difficult by reason of high water, bad roads and wrecked wires, it is ex ceptionally difficult to verify the rumor. Citizens of this county held a mass meeting here and appointed a commit tee to procure funds for the cyclone victims of this immediate locality. Sev eral hundred dollars were contributed.

O's- at Hutchinson. From the Hutchinson News.. The P. F. O.'s met in regular session Tuesday evening with the Misses Fast man on Ninth avenue east. After the regular routine cf work they were en tertained with a splendid programme. Subject: "The Life ar-d Political Works of Kugene Ware." A sketch of his life was to be given by Mrs. Fall, and she thinking the best way to secure this, wrote him a letter. He very kindly answered with thn following: Topeka, Kan.. May 11, lSfi-3. Mrs. Ida G. Fall, Hutc hinson, Kan.: Pear Madam: The question you have piut to me is a puzzling one, and it is a great effort for me to write this letter, because 1 desire to conceal ail that I can from you and jet appear to tell something. So kind and g- c.ial a letter as yours ought not to go unanswered, and yet. owing to the fact that I have been somewhat in Kansas polities, I feel embarrassed and shrink from any allusion to myself. Where I was born does not perhaps cut much figure, but nevertheless it seems t be. as a rule, the starting point of a biography, because prior to that point there is nothing to expect, as Kmer son suggests, to make an intelligent selection of one's ancestors. When I'e Toeq ueville. who had been the at torney general of France, came over and visited tl- b'nited States, he wa.s particular to inquire of ail th-a smart men he met w here they had been born. Hearing so many of them say they were born in Connecticut he looked up to liud where Connecticut was. and on the mai it being painted yellow he very wisely observed, in a conversation with a member of the 'resident's cabinet, that an unusual number of smart Americans were born "in the little yel low state of Connecticut." from wiiicli I wish you to infer that Connecticut is my native state. Afterward when the war broke out I served tive years In the army. You will notice that I skip considerable of a period. Tht period was uneventful. During the latter portion of it I spent consid erable time in learning to sreer a neck tie into shape and cultivating a mus tache: so that when, at the are of 13, I went into the army the afternoon Fort Sumter was fired on, I was pre pared for war. I was wounded in-, the army and came out of it with a good education. War is a greater school than any university. Here again follows a hiatus and I reach the period in which I was paying attention to a young lady who was born in Vermont. At some time after the be ginning of this proceeding a red-headed young man from Indiana made his appearance. I therefore turned my thoughts upon diplomacy and I devel oped an amount of strategem and sa gacity which has been my salvation ever since. Somewhere about this time I also began writing verses, a disease from w hieh I have subsequently recov ered. The gentleman from Indiana went west to grow up with the country. The:- young lady from Vermont is now i living in Topeka. Outside of the events herein recorded I have lived a very quiet, placid and uneventful life. I think that no im portant matter has escaped me in giv ing you the foregoing details. I hope you will keep them confidential, but you may, if you see proper, work them up into a narrative, adding such thril ling ocurrences as your imagination may suggest, because what I here give is intended to be merely an outline hastily dicta ted to a srenogra pher dur ing a great press of business and is, of course, lacking in the essential elements of grace and perspeeuity which so fre quently attract attention to the biogra hy of Kansas people. With great re spect, yours truiv, F. F. WARE. DRANK RAYAH I) S HEALTH1 The Ambassador at a Banquet Where Rothschild Presides. London, May 20. The United States ambassador. Mr. P.a ard, was a guest tonight at the banquet of the foreign cnsuls at the Hotel C-m il. The hail was elaborately decorated with Fnited States and Pritish flags entwined.

United States consul general in London, in a speech proposed the toast to the sover eigns and presidents of the world. Mr. Rayard replied to the toast "The Diplo mats," in proposing which the Persian consul general. II. S.

YALIASLE STASIS CF Tl 'Tt UTA X The Cost of Bad Temper Eusie's'Won derful Control of the Curve Some New Uaterial That 13 Wearing Well. Th rrr the article the greater tha worth. Baseball pitchers of thefirct class come under the head cf jewels on account cf their rarity, A team is easily made up In every other position, but one which is weak in it3 pitching department Is almost as helpless as a ship without a rudder. Xo club ever won a championship without the aid of pitchers who ranked first class. Spalding, Corcoran and Goldsmith took tiio peunsnc to Chicago, Bond helped Bos ton win, Radbourno piloted Providence to tho front, Baldwin aided Detroit, Keefo and Welsh carried Now York to tha goal, Nichols sent Boston's team to tho top cgain, and finally McMahon and Hoffer helped Baltimore to its late honor. No matter how strong a team may be in battiDg and fielding, it is weak unless its pitchers are capable of opposing rivals in the "box." For years Philadelphia has Lad a superb team, with the exception of A' r 5 J SAMUEL b. THOMPSON, pitchers, yet that exception has been fatal to tiie city's pennant hopes. Tho club stood ready to pay enormous sums for oca or more pitching stars with established reputations, but no release of such a man was on the market. Tho St. Louis club rejected tha sum of 7,r00 for tha releaso of Brei' enstein last summer. Mr. Robi son cf Cleveland announced that 20,000 would not secure tho transfer of Young to another city, and ha no doubt did not ex aggerate. Mr. Freedman of the New York club has just gone on record with the as sertion that an oiler cf 25,000 spot cash would not secure the release of Kusie, who is now in revolt, and who denies his serv ices to the Giants. When one realizes how great the profits of a winning; club are and how hard it is to get one cf these winning pitcher;, the wonder ceases at the high value in which the few aro held. If the Philadelphia club had Nichois and Rusie, the championship race fcr this year would be ail over except jng through tho motion. A lack of pitching strength has been Anson's handi cap since 1P?-D. He has experimented year after year with scarcely better results than a diamond digger in the Transvaal. Many aro called, but few aro chosen. Very few pitchers jump into fame in a single season. They generally require plenty of experi ence. Lack of control is usually tho new "phenotn's" weakness. It took Meekin four years to "get it over tho plate" enough to make his services valuable. Cf the pitchers in tho National league who may be classed as roliable and ex tremely valuable may be mentioned Nich ols, Young, Kuslo, Cuppy, Mercer, Ken nedy, Clarke, Meekin, Hawley, Breir.en stein, Dwyer, Stein, Taylor, McMahon, Griffith and IJoffor, which are four nicro than tho number of clubs in the circuit. There are others, like Ehrot, Killen, Wal lace, Esper, Rhines ami some of the young er men, who pitch well perhaps oneo a week, but cannot stand regular work and are sur? to go to pieces some timo during the season. The stanubys are fuw and precious. Control of the hall, courago and food sense are tho requisites of a successful pitcher. Ho may have all tho curves, epped and shoots known to the profession, and yet Is a dismai failure. Nichols has no wonderful variety of delivery, but his control is so great that he can put the ball pretty nearly where ho wants it to go. So, with his great speed and a knowledge of the i. cahiiess which nearly every batsman has, Nichols is ab!a to shoot tho ball across tho plate almost exr.etly where his victim liuds it most difficult to meet it. Young is another pitcher w hoso control of the ball and ktiuwlaclpo cf his batsmen aro nearly pertect. Koefa was such a pitcher in his day. Goupled with Rusie's mastery of the ball is his great and incomparable control cf tiio curve. In this respect ho stands alono. Most pitchers, when they pet "in a hole" that is, havo three bails called do not have tho courage to use tho curve, but I havo seen Ruslo in just that situa tion curve tbrao bails across the plate in succession. Clarka of the New Ynrks is noted for "misicij tkoiii up" on the better. He luis good control as well as a puzzling siuw bail. Jesse Bnrkeft told me last year that no pitcher in tho land uses so many different deliveries on batsmen as does Ciurko. "And ha has such discretion that we never know v. lu;t is coming until the ball is ou its way and ic is too late to ba ready for it," concluded the champion br.teinan. There have been many pitchers in the profession who failed sciely because they lacked courage and ability to apply their ti-ilonts. A uuubie instance of this was Tony Mullauo. Ha was a pi'chwr whose physical abilities wera never surpassed, but he was quick to iosa his courage and become positively headless iu his work whenever tho situation grew critical. HuiehieoQ was another pitcher who was inclined to "go up into the air." as the players called it. Gierke's cno expensive fault is Iocs cf temper. As long as he keeps coui" he is nearly invincible, but Dr.d is quick to anger, and when ha "gets his Irish up" ho loses his valuable judg ment. Ja?.ter usually follows. Kusie Maes cot gat revoked 'J mw&j, but I've GMLOO S DaLL f-n him loss his game because ha could not curb his temper. Among tka imported crop of pitchers this spring are a few who will take ad vanced places in the National league after a few years of experience. Among them are Brigg, Friend, Seymour, Bowen, Do heny, McJaraes, Hiil, McCreary, Mains and Foreman. Several of them may fail on account of intemperate habits, but they Ail show rare promise. Let mo pay a tribute tc one of the best, and most reserving players in tho National league, i refer to Sam Thompson of tha Philadelphia club. This star is one of the veterans. I belief he is 37 years old, but as a sure neldor and throwor he has no equal. Since 1833 Thompson has dropped but one fbr ball, a record which stands alone. As a batsman ho always ranks among tho firet. This great player owes his long popularity on tha ballfiold to ex emplary habits. What a living sermon for the your.ig players who are undermining their future by drink and dissipation! O. P. CAYLOR. SAVED RY THE MISSION. One of the Florence Crittenton Eome Happily Harried. Kansas City, May 20. One of the most telling indications of the good work being done by the Florence Crit tenton mission in Kansas City was the marriage here of one of the mission's girls. Miss Myrtle Welch, to Martin Culver, a respectable man of this city. Mrytle Welch's parents lived in St. Joseph. She ran away from home about two months ago and was taken in charge shortly afterwards by the mission. The bridegroom had known Miss Welch prior to her going astray, and was apprised of all the circum stances. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. S. M. Neel. WOMAN TO PRESS THE KEY. 0rs.

Items of Interest About Kansas Rail road Hatters Personals and Miscellaneous. A line of road which will open up one of the finest grazing and agricultural portions of Texas and be of material importance to the Santa Fe from the fact that the business of that section will be handled east over that road, will probably be built during the coming summer or fall. The proposed line is an extension of the Pecos Valley railway, and will run from the present terminus of that road at P.oswell, X. M., to Pan handle, Tex., where it will connect with the Panhandle branch of the Santa Fe The Pecos Va.ll.-y road now runs from Pecos, Tex., to Reswell, X. ML, a dis tance of 164 miles. The road is at pres ent in the hands of a receiver, Peceiver Faulkner acting as general manager. The proposed line will cover a distance of about f-50 miles. Vice President D. B. Robinson of the Santa Fe. w ho is now- in this city. stated that the line from Koswell to Panhan dle had been contemplated for some time and would probably be built this year if Receiver Faulkner can raise the required amount.. It is not the inten tion of the Santa Fe to aid in the t in struction of the new line, and if built it will be operated as an independent road under traffic contracts with the Santa Fe. Receiver Faulkner is now in the east on business connected with the proposed extension. Resides the immense amount of cat tle 'business which the new road would handle from the grazing country of Texas, it is the intention of the man agement to promote piassenger traffic by establishing a summer resort at the hills in the vicinity of Roswell. The alti tude in that section of the country var ies from 2. uOO to it.ooo feet above the sea level, this variation making it very suitable for a health resort. Hunting is said to be fine. bear, antelope and other wild game being found in abundance. A system of irrigation has been intro duced in this locality the water being obtained from a number of small lakes, and it has been found that the soil is especially adapted for truck gardening. FEEIGHT BLOCKADE AT DIVIDE It Hay Eesult in W. K. Gillett Ex tending His Road to Canon City. It is rumored that "vV. TC. Gillett, e:c general auditor of the Santa Fe, will extend the line of the Midland Termin al railway, of whic h lie is the owner, from Cripple Creek to Canon City to conect with the Santa re during the I coming summer. This move is said to j be the result of a disagreement with the Colorado Midland, in the matter cf per cents. The Midland Terminal road connects with the Colorado Midland at Divide, j When the Santa Fe a short time ago found it necessary to alter its contract w ith the Colorado Midland that road wa? compelled to make a new traffic agree ment with the Midland Terminal. This new agroerhent wa.s not acceptable to Mr. Cillett. and while in Colorado re cently he held a conference with Re ceiver Ristine of the Colorado Midland. The meeting accomplished nothing, nowever, and a lew days ago the Mid land Terminal issued an order refusing to accept freight from the Coiorado Midland unless that road would sub mit to a better schedule of pier cents. As yet no move lias been taken in this direction by the Colorado Midland, and as a result great piles of freight for Cripple Creek are stacking up at the Divide station. As the Midland Terminal is the only road into Cripple Creek, the trouble be tween the two lines will retard the re building of that tow n. STORE CARS OF THE LIMITED. Santa Fe Puts Away California Cars For the Summer. Kight of the fifteen ciining cars owned by the Santa Fe, which are in service 011 the California and Chicago limited trains Nos. 3 and 4, are being stripped of their equipment in Chicago, preparatory to storing during the sum mer. The? cars will probably be brought to this city and stored in the car shops at this point. The equipment of the eight cars, con sisting of chairs, table linen, silver ware and cooking utensils, is estimated to be worth II0.O11O. It was at first de cided to store the equipment in the Harvey cold storage plant at Chicago, but it is now the intention to also bring this to Topeka and place it in the store house in charge of Storekeeper Hil ton. If the plan of again establishing the limited train service during the winter is carried out. the cars will be refitted early in the fall. They will probably be repaired and repainted while in the shops during the summer. PSYCHOLOGICAL PUZZLE. Why Do Deaf Mutes Always "Walk on Railroad Tracks. "Why deaf and dumb men always choose a railroad track for a prome nade is a mystery. That this is a fact, however, is demonstrated by the large number of deaf mutes who are thrown from railroad tracks anntjally and each involuntary parting from the ties gen erally means death to the silent indi vidual. Keck Island passenger train NTo. 8 struck and killed a deaf and dumb man who was walking on the track about two miles east of Richfield. Net)., yes terday. The man was walking in the direction of the oncoming train and paid no attention to the repeated whistling of the locomotive, not even looking up. He was struck and thrown from the track by the pilot of the en gine and was instantly killed. A b-tter was found in his pocket addressed to a man at Nebraska City, and it is sup posed that he was on his way to that point. He was unknown at Richfield. HB. COLLINS STJRPRISFD.
