The bloody jihase of the miners' strike has come, ("oronado shaft house and machinery are in ashes. Three men are known to be dead and two others dying as the re sult of an attack on Coronado and Em mett mines in the dark hours of the early morning. The first attack was made upon the Coronado, which is in the city, being only a half dozen blocks from the post office and surrounded by residenees. The Coronado shaft house was built on a large embankment, enclosed by Jogs and the machinery is 50 feet above the street level. A heavy plank barri cade was erected around the machin ery and shaft house when the mine re sumed operations last month and the house was well stocked with provisions. Winchesters and ammunition. Beyond assaults on working men seen coming from the mine at divers times, no overt acts of violence had been attempted against this mine, until at 1 o'clock this morning when a few bullets struck the barricade and the men on t'uard prepared for action. It was a night atack upon the prop erty. Judging from the sounds of the fighting it came from the east. There was no confusion, no crowd on the street. The first intimation which those down town received of the trouble was a number of shots. The shots came scattered at first, then faster and faster. All the streets west of the Coronado were deserted with the exception of three or four persons attracted by the shooting. Suddenly after 25 minutes of tiring a sheet of flame burst out, fol lowed by a terrible detonation. The at tacking party were using dynamite. The firing then seemed to slack up slightly. Occasionally a bullet went through the air and then a sheet of flame from Eighth or Ninth streets. It was evident that an attempt was be ing made to fire the property. East of the engine house are several tanks of fuel oil. and the attack was concentrat ed on this point. Thre was a sheet of flames and a sputtering as though of blazing powder. The engine room was in flames. A few moments later and the clar.fr of the fire engines was heard coming up the street. But it was not for them to pave the Coronado. It was marked for destruction, and armed men held the firemen at bay. When the hose cart reached the corner the hose was being unreeled and the marshal and his men were getting ready for action, when three men ap peared from around the corner and compelled the firemen with leveled Ti tles to stop work. The flames grew fiercer. The men in the shaft house were finally driven from their fort, but fought to the last. As they ran over the high trestle work a dozen shots were fired, but the men reached the dump in safety and es caped. By this time a large crowd had gath ered, hundreds ready to assist. but held at bay by the rioters and fire bugs, who were concealed near the building. But presently, as the sheets of flame rolled over the buildings, it was ap parent that unless there was timely action, the buildings in the vicinity were doomed. The firemen rallied, for by this time hundreds of citizens, armed with rifles, appeared and guarded the fire depart ment and volunteers. All attention was devoted to saving the houses in the vicinity, but in spite of every ef fort, four dwellings on East Eighth street were destroyed. But more terrible even than the hol ocaust of flame was the loss of life. Jack O'Keefe. foreman of hose No. 2. was turning on the water when a bul let entered his side. He is mortally wounded and dying in a hospital. An unknown man was taken to 612 East Eighth street, dead. blovn to pieces by dynamite. Another unknown man was mortally wounded by dynamite. John Mahoney, a miner at the Big Four.who was near the Emmott, was shot in the stomach. He died in the arms of his companions. One of the men who brought the report had his clothes near ly all torn off, but was not seriously hurt. THE ATTACK ON THE EMSIETT. At 3:30 a. m. an attack was made on the Emmett. There were over 100 shots fired, but a telephone mesage from the mine states that the attack was re pulsed and that no lives are known to have been lost and no damage to prop erty had resulted. The strike began on the 19th of June and therefore enters upon its fourth month today. It has paralyzed busi ness, caused hunger and suffering in hundreds of families and has cut down the mineral output of the camp more than one-haif. Last night's bloody battle Is believed to be the last desperate move of the radical element of the strikers to force the stoppage of all mines that are not paying the increased scale of wages de manded by the union. Many of the strikers have asserted all along that they would "clean out the state" and even government troops if brought here, rather than see outside labor come to the camp. The mine managers who at first refused to recognize the union finally offered a compromise, but thli was rejected and all efforts by the cit izens and others to terminate the strike ince then have failed. All 13 iuiet here succeeding the ter rible events of the early morning. No new outrages have been reported. Five lives at least were sacrificed in the fighting and the work of destruc tion at the Coronado and Emmett mines. Following is a list of the dead and injured. DEAD. Bert Meir. James Benson. Both were miners employed at the Coronado and were killed by the ex plosion. They were identified only by means of papers found on the bodies. DYING. Wm. O'Keefe. foreman of hose com pany No. 2; shot through the stomach. J. Higgins, miner, employed at the Coronado; shot eight times in arms and stomach. John Mahoney, miner; shot through the stomach. INJURED. Frank Telle and Martin Scott. Coro nado miners. Their injuries are not be lieved to be fatal. Mahoney, who was shot near the Em mett mine, claims he was there merely as a spectator. At least three of the attacking party at the Emmett were seen to be hit with bullets, but they were carried away by their comrades. The Coronado people heard of the coming trouble last night, but the sup position was that the attack was to be made at the Emmett. Soon after the destruction commenced many of the citizens responded quickly, armed with rifles and shotguns, but they could do little in fighting the fire and dynamite. Foreman O'Keefe was shot from be hind just after he turned a stream of water on the Coronado. The first at tack at the Coronado was made with dynamite near the oil tanks. The men within the enclosure returned the at tack and a fusilade of bullets followed, but the dynamite did its work well. It is charged that the lawlessness of last night was due to a mob of strik ers, principally from the Coeur d'Alene country, who have long been breeding trouble, and who, seeing that the strike was nearing an end. were determined to make a final stroke. This assertion is largely made by the peaceable miners of the camo. Early last night there was every evi dence that the strike was nearly bro ken. Many miners had announced their intention of going to work this morn ing. After being repulsed at the Em mett mine the mob, which numbered not over 50 persons, fled the town and are hiding in the hills. Today hundreds of miners say they will got to work at once. They bitterly denounce the extremists and say their action has lost the miners their strike. The arrival of the militia is anxiously awaited, despite the apparent calm. The lo'-il companies have been sent to the hibs and armed citizens are patrolling the streets. The city council met today and de cided to aid the state officers in appre-honfliro- lhe rioters. At a mass meeting of citizens this afternoon the lawless element will be denounced, and it will be demanded that the troublesome element leave tne camp. TROOPS AT LEADVILLE. Nearly the Entire Force of the State Sent There. Denver, Sept. 21. At 2:30 this morn ing Sheriff Newman of Leadville and Judge Owens, of the district court of Lake county, called upon Gov. Mcln tire for troops to quell the riot in Lead villa The governor at once issued the call and before day light almost the entire military force of the state were en route for the scene of the trouble. The troops from this city.two infantry com panies and a battery reached Lead ville at noon. The troops ordered to take the held at once are as follows: First brigade, Brigadier General E. J. Brooks commanding. First infantry. Col. A. W. Hogle of Denver commanding. Company B, Denver, Capt. GUI. Company E, Denver, Capt. Grove. Company F, Denver, Capt. Locke. Companv K, Denver, Capt.

Denver: The situation here is beyond my control. I am com pelled to call on you for aid to preserve order and hereby do so. Jn of present opinion strong force is needed. rSigned M. H. NEWMAN. Sheriff. CAUSE OF THE STRIKE. Mines Declared Large Dividends but Would Not Raise Wages. Leadville.Colo., Sept. 21. The miners' strike, of which last night's lawless ness is the outcome. began three months ago yesterday, when at 11 o'clock at night, the men in two or three of the leading mines walked out. The union scale of wages in Leadville was $3 for everybody, but in 1893 when the price of silver dropped below 60 certs an ounce, an agreement was made that $2.50 should be accepted for some classes of work until silver should return to S3 cents. This agreement the miners after ward declared was unfair as many of the mines paid large dividends. It was to enforce the original scale of $3 that the men struck. About 3,000 men were involved. Within the last two weeks several mines have resumed work and this week the output has been 1.200 tons daily against 2,000 tons before the strike. AFRAID OF TRAIN WRECKS. Extraordinary Precautions Taken to Guard Against Rioters. Denver, Sept. 21. The Denver Rio Grand officials have taken extraordi nary precautions to prevent the jwecktj ing of trains carrying troops to Lead ville. Guards were sent out and the entire road from Salida to Leadville will be patrolled and picketed. Three special trains were dispatched from Denver this forenoon carrying soldiers and supplies. The troops are under command of Brigadier General Brooks, and Adjutant General Moses, accompanied them. Banks Closed in Leadville. Washington, Sept. 21. Mr. Coffin, acting comptroller of the currency, re ceived a telegram today from the pres idents of two national banks in Lead ville, saying: "The city is threatened by an armed mob. A battle took place last night attended by fire, destroying valuable property and four men were killed. We do not consider it safe to open the banks until order is restored which we hope will be the case tomor row, as the national guard is expected here this evening." BRYAN ROSE EARLY. People Didn't Know He was Coming and There Were No Crowds. Newark, Del., Sept. 21. William J. Bryan began the week's campaign by rising at 5 o'clock and taking the 6:25 train from Baltimore for Dover. It was nearly 12 o'clock before he retired last night, but today he was remarkably re freshed, taking into consideration the disadvantages under which he is trav elling. There were no large crowds about the depots when the train passed through various stations after leaving Balti more and the few people who general ly assembled to see the trains pass through did not know the candidate was aboard the ordinary coach attach ed to the rear end of the train. All the residents of the towns through which he passed supposed that he would take the train leaving Washington this morning and these people were disap pointed in not seeing the nominee. Mr. Bryan left the Carrollton hotel in Baltimore shortly before 6 o'clock. He was accompanied by the Delaware es cort commitee and Josephus Daniels of Raleigh. N. C, who will make the trip with Mr. Bryan through New Eng land. There were stops at Bayview, where a few railroad men came in the car and shook hands with Mr. Bryan. There were stops at Havre de Grace, Perryville and Northeast.but no crowds were at the stations. At Elkton thecitizens had been ap prised of his coming by telegraph and the first cheer of the day was given him by a crowd of a few dozen. It was the same at Iron Hill and at Newark, no one knowing of the nomineee's com ing. Dover, Del., Sept. 21. At Porter's sta tion Mr. Bryan was met by a reception committee of 26. A delegation of the young men's Democratic club of Wil mington also came down to act as es cort for Mr. Bryan to that city. A few hundred people at Middletown were apprised of the coming of the nominee and they turned out at the depot, having with them a brass band and a good deal of enthusiasm. They cheered and clamored for a speech. Mr. Bryan told them that every com munity that he entered was solicitous about his voice and very anxious for him to speak in that town, but not to speak anywhere else. He said he was going to save his voice as much as pos sible and keep it all through the cam paign. He delegated each of his hear ers to make a speech for silver at the polls on election day and apparently the crowd accepted the commission. There was a short stop at Clayton just long enough for the people to shake hands with and cheer Mr. Bryan. There was a large crowd to welcome Mr. Bryan at Dover. The nominee was taken to the Capital hotel and from there to the residence of R. R. Kenney, where he rested an hour. Then he went to the hotel for luncheon and an informal reception was held until 3 o'clock, when the nominee was taken to the fair grounds where he spoke. Mr. Bryan will address an audience at Brooklyn Wednesday night, but at what place in that city he has not yet been informed. GADESDEN DEAD. The Correspondent in the Yarde Bul ler Trial Passes Away. London, Sept. 21. The following dis patch from Badnoughan, grand duchy of Hesse, has been received at the London office of the Associated Press: Cable all the world Valentine Gades den died suddenly Sunday, heart dis ease. (Signed) TARDE-BULLER. Valentine Gadesden is the name of the real estate dealer of San Francisco who was made co-respondent in the suit for divorce recently brought by Walter Tarde-Buller, a brother of Baron Churston, against his wife, a daughter of the late Gen. R. W. Kirk ham of San Francisco. The case against Gadesden was dismissed, and he was allowed the costs. The verdict rendered was that Mrs. Yarde-Buller was not guilty of cruelty and not guil ty of infidelity, and that a decree of judicial separation be granted to Mrs. Tarde-Buller, with costs. JUDGE HAZEN VACATES. To Let Judge Wm. Thompson Try tha City Waterworks Case. Judge Hazen will tomorrow surren der his place on the bench to Judge Wm. Thompson of Burlingame, who will preside in the suit brought by the city to forfeit the franchise of the To peka Water company. This is the long drawn out suit which has been pending in the district court for five years and has been postponed times without number. City Attorney Bird says he knows of nothing that will prevent the trial of the suit tomor row. The suit has been simplified until the only questions now involved are wheth er the city can compel the company to extend its mains to the suburbs and the inefficiency of fire pressure. If the franchise is forfeited the Water company will be at the mercy of the city. Not Considered an Anarchist. Kansas City, Sept. 21. Joseph Best man, whom the Chicago police say is an anarchist and in whose baggage in that city has been discovered a quan tity of dynamite, lived in Kansas City several years ago. He was a labor leader of minor degree and well known. Although he took part in the labor strifes to an extent and was somewhat of an agitator, he was not classed an anarchist. 40-LIGHTS-40. Merchants Will Light Kansas Avenue Brilliantly With Arc Lights at Their Own Expense. 40 LIGHTS ORDERED, And Probably a Hundred Will Be. Other Features of the Reunion and Festival. It is at last settled that Kansas ave nue will be illuminated during Festival week. Superintendent Maunsell of the Edi son Electric Light company has been soliciting the business men to secure one or more arc lights each for the street illumination in addition to the ones already up. He was out for a short time this morning and secured promises for forty extra lights. He had 100 extra lamps to start with and it seems reasonable to expect that he will get all of them taken. Every one of the arc lights should be put in use. One hundred more arc lights added to those we already have will make Kansas avenue a beautiful sight. Added to them will be calcium lights, red fire, Japanese lanterns, head lights and a dozen other kinds of lights. Now all that is needed to complete the entire scheme of street decoration is a magnificent arch spanning Kansas avenue. The Topeka lumber dealers oue-ht to be the moving spirits in this. From the mere material standpoint of advertising, the lumber dealer who loans lumber for such an arch would make motiey by the operation. BUYING CLOUDS FOR LORINA. She is to Appear as a Beautiful Vision Floating on Nothing. Will Haskell, who is "Lorina's" prime minister, has been in Kansas City this week having a few red, white and blue clouds made for her to appear in car nival night. Tt is believed bv a good many people that "Lorina" is a man, or a brand of flour, or something of that sort, DUt Haskell says it is no such a thing. And there is another thing about "Lo rina" she doesn't chew gum. It is a mean thing to do, but Haskell won't tell a word about "Lorina," ex cept to say that she will be here on Friday night of Carnival week. This is entirely unsatisfactory and a spirit medium who is in town will be consulted about it by a committee of young men who want to know who Lorina is. A spirit photograph of her will be ta ken if possible. No wonder people are anxious about her or it, if all Bill Haskell says is true. "She is the loveliest of the lovely," he says, "and will be dressed according ly." If Bill Haskell fools us about "Lori na" well, we won't let him get up any thing more in Topeka until next win ter, at least. GO TO THE CONCERT. Marshall's Band, the Turners Singing Club and Others Tonight. The people of Topeka should turn out In force at the concert at Hamilton hall tonight. The concert is given for the benefit of the the Fall Festival Music Fund and is for the particular purpose of raising a fund from which to pay the bands engaged during that week. No festival can be a success without plenty of music, and the people of this city should realize this, and contribute handsomely towards this feature. The concert will consist of eight pieces. Six of the pieces will be played by Marshall's band and the Topeka Turn Verein society will sing the other two. The following Is the programme: 1. Overture from Rossini's Stabet Mater Rossini 2. Spanish Fandango, "The Pearl of Madrid" Bachmann 3. Polka, "Midway Plaisance" Herman 4. Waltz, "Ensuem Seductor" ...Rosas 5. (a) "Stanchen" Marchner 5. (b) "Immermehr" Jungst Topeka Turn Verein. 6. "Hungarian Fantasia" Tobani 7. "An Altareder Wahrhelt" Mohr Topeka Turn Verein. 8. Medley Selection, "A Jolly Night" Au Beyer DRIVING ACROSS COUNTRY. Hundreds of Farmers Coming to To peka by Wagon From Western Counties. Reports are coming in that hundreds of old soldiers and farmers have al ready started to drive to the Topeka Reunion and Fall Festival overland, bringing their families and bedding with them. Numerous cases of this kind are re ported as far west in the state as Hodgeman county. This gives an idea of the deep inter est in the Topeka Festival all over the state and shows the certainty of an enormous crowd here. From Garden City it is estimated that 300 people are coming, from Dodge City as many more; at these plae, spe cial cars are being engaged and each delegation is coming with a brass band. Information comes that 500 Newton people are- coming with their G. A. R. post, brass band, fire department and militia company. This is the news that comes to Tope ka from all over Kansas. There is no mistake that the Fall Festival and Re union is going to be a monster. WILL SIMPSON REMEMBERS His Old Home Here and Does the Right Thing by Us. The Santa Fe posters advertising the Topeka Reunion and Fall Festival are out and are the handsomest carnival posters that have been issued in the west this year. They are lithographed in half a dozen colors and on good pa per 11 by 25 inches. On a field of yellow is the long pa rade with G. A. R. men in front, and the Don Quixote parade behind it. "Flora." bands, bicyclists and others follow, stretching back to the state house against the blue sky In the rear. On a balcony is "Columbia," dressed in the stars and stripes with sunflowers behind her. She is scattering showers of roses on the old soldiers. W. H. Simpson, now of Chicago and still a Topekan at heart, originated the design. FOR NEXT YEAR'S FESTIVAL. A Chart of the Days Mapped Out Somebody has said that the Tepeka Festival has unconsciously formed it self into certain well defined depart ments, and that if it is to be repeated, these ideas should be elaborated. He says that the programme for next week is really as follows: Monday Labor. Tuesday Athletics. Wednesday Art and Music. Thursday War. Friday Commerce. Friday Night Jubilee of Peace. On Monday the labor unions cele brate; on Tuesday, the bicyclists. Tur ners. Topeka Athletic association and other similar organizations have their day; on Wednesday, Art and Music represented by the procession of floral pictures has its exemplification; Thurs day, War is ushered in by the parade of regulars and old soldiers; -Friday morning, when the Thursday night pa rade of merchants' floats is to be re peated, means "Commerce," and Fri day night the carnival makers bring in the jubilee. Each day ought to have had Its gods and goddesses. A MIGHTY SHIP Fifty Feet Long Will Appear in the Thursday and Friday Parades. One of the biggest floats in the Fall Festival parade of Thursday night will be the A. O. U. W. float. Capital lodge No. 3, is constructing a ship which will be 50 feet long. It will be mounted on an especially construct ed truck. Six horses gaily decorated with red, white and blue plumes will haul it. Fourteen of the degree team will be on board the ship dressed in sailor cos tume. The main mast will have the A. O. U. W. emblems across it and the jib sails will be decorated. On account of the tact that the electric wk-es cannot be raised higher than 16 feet the main sail of the ship will have to be consid erably shorter than was at first intend ed, unless it can be lowered at cross streets and raised after passingthe cross wires. James S. Kesson originated the idea and he and Guy Penney are build ing it. The body of it is now finished and the painting and draping will be finished shortly. The work is being done at John P. Cole's old barn on Second street. TOMORROW'S BALL GAME. Be Sure to See the Great Society and Athletic Event Look out for the big parade of the Jansen-Wear baseball clubs tomorrow afternoon. At 3 o'clock the big parade will start, A platoon of police will clear the streets then Umpire C. M. Foulks will lead the procession. Following him will be Gormly's band and after this the two base ball clubs, the Jansens and the Wears. At 4 o'clock the great game will be called. It will positively begin on time. Remember that it is Tuesday and not Wednesday. This morning C. M. Foulks tele phoned to the police station and asked permission to carry a gun and a saber, as he said there was no telling what might happen. All of Chief Gardiner's special policemen will be on duty at the ball grounds to prevent any riots over decisions of the umpire. Remember the day (Tuesday), the place (Athletic park), the time (4 p. m.) and last, but not least, the positions of the two teams: Wear'3 Jansen's Glass Arms. Location. South Paws.

All money that is received at the gate will be turned over to the Fall Festival fund, except that for a few trifling doc tor bills incurred by serious accidents, and ambulance rides. NEW POLICEMEN. Assignments Made by the Police Board Saturday Night The board of police commissioners at the regular meeting Saturday appoint ed more special policemen, the list now consisting of twenty-five extras. There were over 100 applications for positions during Fall Festival week. Some of the specials will be given regular beats and the regular patrol men used to follow the crowd and pre serve order generally. Several of the specials will do secret duty in citizens' clothes. It was thought that perhaps the city jail would be too small to accommodate all who may be arrested, so arrangements were made for an extra room in the building across from the county jail. The jail room will accommodate about 50, the base ment "tramp" room about 40 and this extra room about 20. TOPEKA TRIBE OF TUMULT. Catchey Name of a Suggested Band of Carnival Makers. A proposed organization of 100 young men for carnival night is one that is to be named the "Topeka Tribe of Tu mult." They are to wear buttons half as large as saucers with the letters "T. T. T." on them, and each is to carry a gong. The costumes proposed are Chi nese with peaked Chinese hats. The gongs are to be made of sheet iron. but the officers of the brigade are to have real hotel gongs. This organization is not formed yet. It is only proposed, and it ought to have a boost. DECORATE THE WOODEN POLES All Unsightly Objects Should be Cov ered With Decorations. While the iron trolley poles are to be decorated with foliage and flowers by the ladies' general committee, no pro vision has been made for covering up the hideous wooden poles that every where line the sidewalks. The best that can be done with these is to drape them in bunting, nail flags to them or twine evergreen around them. Every business house on Kansas ave nue should look after the poles in front of its own place; by doing this there would be no unpleasant contrasts made between decorated buildings and un decorated poles. The decoration need not be elaborate and can be done very effectively in an hour or two at small expense. SEVEN COMPANIES READY With Guns and Knapsacks to Move on Topeka Next Week. From present Indications the attend ance of militiamen at the Fall Festival will be as large as anticipated. Already Col. J. W. F. Hughes has received word from the following Kansas towns and the number of men: Emporia, 40 men. Holton, 40 men. Burlingame, 40 men. Junction City, 40 men. Manhattan, 40 men. Kansas City, (Co. E) 40 met Fort Scott, 40 men. The first company of Kansas City, Kan., and the company at Lawrence have not yet notified Col. Hughes that they will be here, though it is supposed that they will be. Prizes ior Floral Parade. The prizes offered for decorated ve hicles, horses and bicycles in the Fall Festival Flower parade were placed on exhibition this morning in the windows of Charles Eagle's cigar store. The windows 'were prettily decorated with red. white and blue paper by Mrs. C. S. Sutton, and present a very attractive appearance. The prizes will remain on exhibition up to Wednesday night. The journal will tomorrow contain a full list of them. More Flowers Wanted. Mrs. Milliken, chairman of the gen eral committee of ladies, requests that all ladies of the committee meet at the court house tomorrow afternoon for the purpose of making paper flowers. NO FREE TRAIN TO CANTON. Santa Fe Officials Say That They Will Not Run One. The report that the Santa Fe officials are arranging to run an excursion train from Topeka to Canton, O., to give the employes of the road an oppor tunity to hear McKinley is evidently incorrect.General Manager Frey stated today that he knew nothing whatever about the proposed excursion, other than a rumor that Republican leaders were planning to get up a crowd to go to Canton. There is talk at the Republican head quarters in this city of arranging an excurison to Canton, O., in which ail persons who desire to hear McKinley can participate. The excursion as talk ed of will be made up principally of workingmen, but will not be limited to railroad men as a class. The matter of making a low rate from all points in transmissouri territory to Canton is be ing considered by the western passen ger association today, and the rate agreed upon will probably be one fare for the round trip. Santa Fe officials state that there is no intention on the part of the com pany of running a train from Topeka, or any other point, to Canton free. If the company employes can secure leave of absence they can visit Canton if they so wish, and if they are entitled to transportation the road will furnish It over their lines. But, as an official of the road expressed it, "there will be no deadheads shipped to Canton in a special train to talk with Major Mc Kinley any more than they would be shipped to any other point to talk with any other man." SILVER FOR THE IN DIANA. Gov. Matthews and Party on Board to Present the Service. New York, Sept. 21. Governor Claude Matthews and about 75 prominent citi zens of Indiana went on board the Uni ted States battleship Indiana, lying off Tompkinsville, S. I., today. They were welcomed, by Captain R. D. Evans and a salute of 13 guns was fired in their honor. The purpose of the visit of this del egation to the finest of the nation's warships was to present to its officers the silver serivce and library that the citizens of Indiana have provided for the craft, named in honor of the state they represent. ROUNDING UP CROOKS. Police Have Begun the Work of Weeding Them Out Yesterday afternoon Sergeant Ellison and six policemen went to the Rock Island "Y" and walked west, gathering in all tramps whom they found and driving them on ahead of them. In all seventeen were "rounded up" and driven about a mile beyond the city limits. They left an overcoat which it is supposed they had stolen, for none of them would claim it. This "rounding up" will be done sev eral times before next week by the po lice in order to clear the city of all sus picious characters. If any who have been ejected come back they will be arrested and locked in the dark room in the basement of the city prison, where they will be erved one meal a day. More Massacres in Armenia. Washington. Sept. 21. United States Minister Terrill at Constantinople has cabled the state department that he has been advised from Harput that there have been serious massacres at Kock and Seazs, in that province. No details are given. It is believed at the state department that there has been an error in transmitting the names of the localities concerned. Dates for Blackburn a-id Patterson. Chicago, Sept. 21.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 21." 1896 BOTH DEAD SURE. 3Iark llanna is Confident of Re publican Yictory. Johnson of Kansas Is Sure of Democratic Success. TAFFY FOR LELAND. llanna Says He Can Do Almost Anything. Teller, Sam Small and Towne To Be In Kansas. Chicago. Sept. 21. M. A. Hanna, the Republican national chairman, left here Saturday for New York, where he will spend a week or ten days. He was at the western headquarters three weeks and he left for the east expressing the greatest confidence that the western middle states would join the east In the election of McKinley. "It is only a question now ot how many states we will get," said Mr. Hanna to a correspondent. "We have enough in sight sure to cast their lot on the side of sound money and in the break cT the so-called doubtful states to ua we will take a wide fringe off the 'solid south." Sentiment has turned stroBgly toward McKinley during this month. The people are awaken ing to the fact that the country is on the eve of an important election, the most important since the war." "Where is this growth the most ap parent?" "Oh, in the west, of course, the middle "west. There has been little room to stow In the eastern states we had everything there to begin with. In the T.est we have plowed deeper, the soil la more fertile, more people in need of conversion. And we are making great progress, too. We are in better shape now. In the midst of September, than at the opening of the campaign we ex pected to be in October. Men who, earlier in the campaign, were in doubt now see that the Chicago platform is a menace to the credit of the nation and they are unwilling to lend themselves to repudiation." You are sure of Illinois" "Oh, bless you, yes." "And Altgeid? Tou will defeat him, too?" "Why, I don't see what Altgeid is pinning his hopes to. The McKinley majority will be so big that it will carry the state ticket with it, governor and all. Yes. Illinois is safe for Mc Kinley. and Michigan. Xebraska, too. Mr. Bryan will not carry his own state." "Y.ou don't include Kansas?" "Kansas oug-ht to join the procession. I think it will from all I hear. But we are leaving that to Mr. Leland. If he can't carry it. nobody can. In fact, since we have become acquainted with Mr. Leland "we have come to think he can do almost anything. He is a worker. Untiring, he never sleeps." "Where will you get your biggest ma jority?" "Well, New York will run up between 10O.O0O and 200,000. Pennsylvania will do better. It will be almost unanimous in Pennsylvania.' "And Ohio? Will McKinley do as well there as he did when he was elected governor?" "Oh, he will carry Ohio by a good strong majority, but we do not forget that there is a considerable free silver sentiment in the state." "When will your crack speakers, such as Mr. Harrison. Mr. Sherman and Mr. Iteed. be sent to Missouri and Kansas?" We do not expect many speeches from Mr. Harrison, although he will grtve us a part of his time. We have assigned Mr. Sherman to the Pacific coast. We expect Mr. Reed to come west, but will not bill him out until tie reaches Chicago. There is some tloubt about his going west of here. But Jf he does. Mr. Leland no doubt will se cure him for Netraska. Kansas and Missouri. However, we may not be able to spare him for more than one speech out there, and in that event it will be at Kansas City. Colonel Thurs ton will speak at Kansas City and he may go over to Colonel Sam Scott's bar becue at Excelsior Springs for one day. Mr. Leland may be able to get Mr. Thurston for a week in Kansas also. In the Auditorium annex, where the Democrats have their national head quarters, confidence of Democratic usc cess is manifested. It may be assumed. l,ut it so nearly resembles the genuine article that it deceives the casual visi- J M Orr of Atchison was a visitor there, in doubt and distress. Saturday., tut after an hour with J. G. Johnson of Kansas and Chairman Jones, he de lrted in great glee, sure that Bryan -ould win. Mr. Johnson said to a correspondent that the men. who are In charge of the campaign are encouraged by the daily movements on the chess board. "VV hen we took hold of the campaign," he said, we mapped out the territory that we were certain to carry. That territory includes enough states to elect Mr. Bry an and as the campaign has progress ed sentiment in those states has hard ened up and become crystallized. Noth ing can take them away from us. We will carry the southern states, every one of them. Even West Virginia will not get away, and it is all nonsense for them over at the other building to say we will lose Florida and Louisiana. We swill carry Kansas. Nebraska. Michigan and Minnesota. Out there in Kansas the Watson ticket will not help the Re publicans much. It may get a few votes, but not enough to hurt us. If Iowa were to vote tomorrow it would go for Bryan." "How about Illinois?" Nobody can tell about Illinois not row. Today Bryan has 49,000 ma jority outside of Cook county. It is for Cook county to decide. We are greatly encouraged by the local situation here. In the county the united silver organiza tion has 166 clubs and 40.000 members. It is non-pa.rtisan and I judge, there fore that its members are Republicans. They will vote for Bryan. I don't hear much about Indiana. b"ut I think It is a free silver state. As to Ohio. McKin ley will have to scratch to carry it. I pet it from good Republican sourceB, that a Republican poll of that state shows a majority of only 12.000 for Mc Kinley over Democrats and Populists. That ourjht to be close enough to scare our Republican friends. Bryan could pet enough Prohibition votes to wipe that out. Why. I am told by Republi cans that Cuyahoga county. In which Cleveland Is situated, will not give Mc Jvirley a majority. "We are just now beginning our speaking campaign and we will have plenty of speakers. In October Kansas Mill get Senator Teller. Congressman Towne. General A. J. Warner, Senator Blackburn and Ham Small. Our only embarrassment is caused by lack of money to conduct the camoaie-n. We Lava enough to live on, but we espec- ially need money to pay the expenses f our document department. Mr.Mc Kee of the Republican committee, tells me they have sent out 68 million docu ments from thsir headquarters here and 25 million from Washington, mak ing a total of 1 million. We have sent out only 12 million. We have an abun dance of literature, but it takes money to distribute it. This explains to our people why we have not responded to their requests as quickly as we should have done if we had had the money." TO THE PUBLIC. Notices in Relation to Floats in the Dragon Parade. To the Public I am directed by the Committee of Fifteen to ask all who are building or contemplate building floats for the Dragon parade on Thurs day night of Festival week, to report the same before Monday evening, Sep tember 21, to chairman of the commit tee on amusements, postoffice box No. 84, stating the character of the float, its length width, and height, and the number of horses to be attached, giv ing the name of the person or persons in charge with their address and where the floats are being constructed. No float should be of greater height than 20 feet unless constructed upon a plan that will admit of lowering so as to pass under the trolley wires. THOS. F. DORAN, Secretary of the Committee of Fifteen. To the Public It is the desire of the Committee of Fifteen that all floats ap pear in the Dragon parade on Thurs day night of Festival week. Should any organization arrange for a display in the day parades of any floats or march ing, drills, etc., they are respectfully re quested to participate In the general parade on Thursday evening. It is the desire of the Committee further that all floats appear in line on Thursday even ing, although they may appear in the day parades previous to that time. The Committee respectfully requests that all floats be reported at once to C. H. Titus, chairman of the amuse ment committee, postoffice box 84, for the approval of that committee. THOS. F. DORAN, Secretary of Committee of Fifteen. MUST HELP DUBOIS. Silver Senators Tell Democrats They Won't Help Them if They Don't Washington. Sept. 21. It is now known that the conference here be tween Senators Jones, Faulkner, Gor man, Dubois, Teller and Butler, repre senting all the elements that compose the silver party, was due almost entiie ly to the situation in Idaho. The combination of Democrats and Populists in that state determined to ignore the silver Republicans and to oppose the re-election of Senator Du bois to the senate. This was not satis factory to the Democratic leaders, but inasmuch as the fusion had been effect ed by the state committee, it was thought best by Senator Jones to in terpose no opposition. In other words, the national Democratic committee concluded that Senator Dubois and the silver Repub. leans of Idaho and of oth er states must take their chances. Sen ator Dubois and his silver Republican allies, however, have had no intention from the beginning of submitting to such treatment, and as the result there has arisen one of the gravest situations that has yet confronted the silver Dem ocratic leaders. In the conference it is understood Senator Teller acted as spokesman, with a firmness which could not be misun derstood declared that if the Republi can silver leaders were to be ignored by the Democratic national committee and Senator Dubois was to be sacrificed then the managers of the Bryan and Sewall campaign could expect no co operation from the men who had bolted the St. Louis convention and had re nounced their steadfast belief in Re publican doctrines in order to join the silver movement. Senator Teller informed the Demo cratic managers that unless they agreed to prevent any combination of Demo crats and Populists against Dubois, ail the silver Republican leaders. Including himself. Senators Dobois. Mantle and Pettigrew and Representatives Towne and Hartman, would not only withdraw their support from the Bryan and Sew all ticket, but would concentrate their efforts in Idaho in support of Mr. Du bois and would ignore the Bryan cam paign in all other sections of the west. The emphasis with which he enuncia ted this proposition left no doubt in the minds of either Senator Jones or Senator Butler of his absolute sincerity. Senator Gorman, who was present, took sides with the silver Republicans and declared that it would be fatal to sacrifice a man like Dubois in order to gratify a few politicians in Idaho who might be aspirants for his position. The arguments of the silver Republican senators were of so convincing a char acter that the chairman of the two na tional committees most directly inter ested Senators Jones and Butler are said to have given ready acquiescence, and it is further asserted that Senator Jones' hurried departure for the west was due to his desire to arrange the situation in Idaho in a manner satisfac tory to Senators Teller and Dubois.

His Speech at Washington In terrupted By Rain. CARLISLE DENOUNCED. Bryan Assails the Secretary's Recent Letter. The Policy Is Called "Heart less, Merciless, Criminal." Baltimore. Sept. 21 William Jennings Bryan spoke here Saturday night to two of the largest crowds ever present at a political meeting In this city. This speech was made in the open air, and conservative estimates place the num ber who heard it at 30,000. The second was held in Music hall, the largest au ditorium in Baltimore, and the house was packed until women fainted and many had to be removed before the speaking could proceed. This arose from the fact that the local committee had issued tickets to the number of almost 15,000 when the capacity of the hall is scant 3,500. Mr. Bryan reached here in a special car from Washington at 7:45 p. m., and was driven to a temporary platform erected three squares away in the plaza of Mount Royal avenue, in front of the new station of the Baltimore Ohio railway. He reached the platform about 8 o'clock and was greeted with tremen dous cheers from thousands who had gathered there in anticipation of his coming. Just as he bared his head in ac knowledgment of greeting, a slight rain began to fall, which increased to a brisk shower as he proceeded. His voice was not clear, the strain of the past few days having evidently told upon it. Pale of face, with great beads of perspiration standing upon his fore head, Mr. Bryan created the impression of a man who had tested his powers of endurance to their fullest capacity. His speeches were mainly a repeti tion of those he had made during his tour through the south, and were fre quently interrupted by demands from the audience for "something about Mc Kinley," and other subjects. His first address lasted barely 20 minutes, after which he repaired to Music hall, whith er as many of the crowd as could get in followed him. Accompanied in the rain and escorted to the platform by a com mittee, of which Senator Gorman was a member. Congressman H. W. Rusk, chairman of the Democratic committee, introduced him. At the conclusion of his speech at Music hall Mr. Bryan returned to Washington on the 11 o'clock train over the Baltimore Ohio railway, although he had previously announced his inten tion of remaining here until today and rooms had been engaged for him at the Carrollton. BRYAN IN WASHINGTON". Spoke In a Driving Bain to an En thusiastic Crowd. "Washington, Sept. 21. A heavy wind and rain storm seriously interfered with the arrangements which had been, made by the local committees for a grand re ception to Candidate Bryan at the Old Capitol base ball park Saturday after noon. The crowd was considerably be low the expectations of those having the arrangements in charge, but there was no lack of enthusiasm. When Mr. Bryan appeared on the platform he was received with such a demonstration as is rarely accorded a public speaker. For fully Ave minutes the cheering con tinued, Mr. Bryan standing bareheaded and evidently much gratified at re ceiving such unmistakable evidence of approval of himself and his cause. For some time before his arrival dark, rain and wind-laden clouds from the west gave certain promise of a downpour, and he had not spoken more than 40 minutes when the rain came down in torrents, drenching everyone exposed to it. Still, the great crowd kept their places and cheered and called to the speaker to go on. The scene was a remarkable one. After waiting some time, however, Mr. Bryan left the platform and drove to his hotel. Almost every sentence in the speaker's brief address was wildly cheered. The nominee opened his speech by a reference to his four years of official life in Washington, which provoked the cry, "We'll make it four more" from his audience. Then when he strongly endorsed the home rule plank in the Chicago platform, the audience was es pecially vociferous, but there was still greater applause when he said the Democracy stood opposed to life ten ure in the public service, and in favor of appointments based upon merit, and in favor of such an administration of the civil service laws as will afford equal opportunities to all citizens of ascertained fitness. Continuing, he said: "My friends, we are in favor of the civil service reforms that mean some thing, and not a civil service reform law that permits the president to sus pend the civil service law until he can get his friends into office and permits another president to extend the service just as he is going out ,to keep his friends in. (Applause.) We are in favor of fixed terms of office in the civil department of the government. We want it so that when a man goes in he will know how long he is going to stay and when he is going out. We do not want to build up an office holding class and fill our offices for life. A man when he gets his office will then have no more concern about his country except to draw his salary when it is due. (Great applause.) We believe that the life tenure Which relieves a man from all further care is destructive to the high est forms of citizenship and should not be tolerated in a country like ours. (Applause.) "Now, my friends, I want to call your attention to one other subject. Our oppononts are doing as much for us in this campaign as we are able to do for ourselves. (Applause.) And of all the public documents recently issued, the most important one is a letter just given to the public, written by the sec retary of the treasury, from which I desire to qr,ote one sentence. "It ia the duty of the secretary of the treasury and all ether public offi cials to execute in good faith the peltcy declared by congress.' And mark these words: 'But whenever he shall be sat isfied that a silver dollar cannot tie kept equal in purchasing power with a gold dollar, except by receiving it in exchange for a gold dollar, when such exchange Is demanded, it will be his duty to adopt that course. "I want you to mark those words, be cause in those words the secretary of tne treasury tells you that when the secretary ia satisfied it is necessary he will commence redeeming silver dollars in gold. I call your attention to it, my friends, because I want to emphasize the deception that has been practiced by this administration on the money question. "When this administration advised the repeal of the Sherman law, you were told the repeal of the Sherman law would remedy the difficulty, and as soon es the Sherman law was repealed the same authority which promised re lief as soon as that law was repealed came to congress with a demand that the greenbacks and treasury notes must be retired by the issue of gold bonds in order to stop the drain on the treas ury gold, and now the secretary of the treasury informs you that even if the greenbacks and treasury notes were all retired, it would be his duty, whenever in his opinion it became necessary, to re deem silver dollars in gold, and thus start another endless chain that would drain the treasury. (Great applause.) Ac cording to the doctrine laid down in Mr. Carlisle's letter, you cannot stop the decline of gold from the treasury until you retire all the silver dollars and sil ver certificates, and leave nothing but gold as the money in this country. "I am glad this declaration has been made. I am gli?a2 our opponents are, step by step, revealing to the public their heartless, merciless, criminal pol icy. (Great applause.) I denounce the policy as more cruel and heartless than political dominations of a foreign power. I would rather, as some one has said, I would rather put our army in the hands of a foreign general, or our navy in the command of a foreign admiral than to put the treasury department in the hands of a secretary who would barter it away. (Great applause.) I would resist such a financial policy with as much earnestness as I would re sist the progress of an invading army coming to attack our hosts. (Great ap plause.) I am glad the overruling providence manifested itself so clearly when It opened the mouth of the secre tary and it disclosed his policy. If the administration knew the Sherman law would not bring relief and concealed the knowledge from the American peo ple, then you have a right to distrust the honesty of such an administration. (Great applause.) Did the administra tion know when it recommended the re tirement of the greenbacks and treasury notes as a means of stopping the drain upon the gold in the trasury-did the administration, when it recommended that, know that after they were all re tired it would propose the policy which tiie secretary of tne treasury has out lined? If it did, and did not tell the people, it was dishonest in not taking the people into the connder.ee of the ad ministration, and if it did not know that then, will it confess its ignorance of monetary laws and the finances of this country? (Great applause.) Does the administration know that when it starts to redeem silver dollars in gold that it will start another end less chain that will drain the treasury indefinitely and increase the bonded debts without limit unless they retire all the silver dollars and substitute bonds in their place? If they do not know, my friends, they must confess themselves ignorant of the finances of this country, and if they know and will not tell the people, then we have a right to distrust their candor and frankness whsn they deal with the peo ple of this country. Do you think that my language is harsh? It is not harsh. (Cries of -It's all right.') These men are the public servants of the Ameri can people and they have no more right to betray the people into the hands of the shylocks of London than Benedict Arnold to betray the American army. (Enthusiastic applause.) That is all I have to say about the secretary's let ter at this time. (A voice: 'Well, that settles it.') Now in my few moments left, let me call your attention to the language used by the father of his country in the message given to the world 100 years ago today. (Great ap plause.) In this campaign we are de manding an American financial policy for the American people, and insist that to our people alone shall be submitted the question of the kind of a dollar, and how many dollars the American people shall have. (Tremendous ap plause.) The Republican party, in con vention assembled, adopted a platform which declares that we must maintain a gold standard until the commercial nations of Europe shall join with us in letting go of that gold standard. (Cries of 'No. no.') "Washington said: 'As avenues to foreign influence in innumerable ways, such attachments are particularly alarming to the truly enlightened and independent patriots.' "Washington also said in that mes sage: 'There can be no greater error than to expect or calculate upon real favors from nation to nation. It is an illusion which experience must cure, which a just pride ought to discard.' "Those who are expecting foreign na tions., dominated by the creditor class es, who profit by a rising dollar, to join with us in stopping the rise in the dol lar, are doomed to disappointment and it is difficult to see how any person can expect silver to be restored to its right ful place by foreign aid when we have waited for 20 years, only to find our opponents more hostile than ever. They covertly threaten that they will use the notes which they hold to control our financial palicy. If relief is to come to the American people it must come from the American people themselves and on this day, when we celebrate the one hundredth anniversary of Washing ton's farewell address, we may resolve to achieve our financial independence without the aid of any other nation." (Great applause and cheering.) T. A. A. W. Meeting. A meeting of the T. A. A. W. will be held at T. A. A. rooms on Tuesday evening.

TOFEXA STEAI LAODRY, Both Phones 153. 25 Jackson St 1 A SENSATli5.IT j SWEPTBYA GALE. Heavy IVind and Rain Storm In the East. Two Small Cyclones Strike New Bedford, Mass. DAMAGE SEAR X. YORK Toboggan Slide at Coney Island Blown Down. A Destructive Storm Also Tis ited Ogden, Utah. New Tork, Sept. 21. A furious storm swept over New England Saturday, causing great damage. Three states were swept by a tempist of violent winds, rain and hail. At New Bedford, Mass., a cyclone from the northwest struck the city ear ly in the morning, dealing destruction on every hand end perhaps death in one instance. There was, of course, an immense number of minor accidents but soon after daylight a particularly severe burst caused damage of a more serious import. A bolt of lightning descended upon the big cotton shed of the Bennett mills. The electricity ignited the inflammable contents and imperiled nearly 8,000 bales of cotton of high grade. It took the fireman three hours to get the main blaze subdued, and in all about 2,500 bales, valued at upward of $100,000 were ignited. In the midst of the mill fire another cyclone burst, characterized by terrific wind and a torrent of rain. The crowd near the mill fire ran for shelter, and about 20 of them found it in a new building near by. No sooner had they assembled than the wind entered the building, raised the roof bodily and the whole structure fell with a crash. By a miracle all but one of the crowd in the building escaped. He was Zoel Levigr.ey, a French Canadian, aged 65. He was pinned down by heavy timbers. His spine was injured, several ribs were broken and he was internally injured. Several other houses were unroofed, and one, unfinished, was wrecked. In Fairhaven. big, patriarchal elms were uprooted and filled the streets, so that they were rendered impassable for a time. At Fall River, Mass. an extraordinary thunderstorm, partaking of the charac ter of a tempest, swept over the city. It had been raining, but the people be came thoroughly frightened by the ap pearance of an immense black cloud from the west, acompanied by winds having the force of a hurricane. The darkness that came upon the whole section put a weird appearance on everything, and operatives in the mills stood aghast at the windows as they watched the cloud settle down outside. It was necessary to turn on lights in the mills as well as in the houses. The edge of the cloud was lighted intermittently by lightning and the thunder pealed heavily. When the cloud seemed to have reached a point in the zenith it began to hail terrifical ly, the stones being as large as mar bles. Horses ran away in all parts of the city, and in the middle of the storm the lightning began striking near by places. The hail gradually lessened its force but was quickly followed by a deluge of rain. In three quarters of an hour an inch of rain fell. This great storm was followed by a series of lesser ones until the elements spent themselves. Mary Burns, aged 55, residing on Short street, became so frightened that she was stricken with apoplexy and died. At Providence a tempest of rain and lightning passed over the city, and, al though of short duration, inflicted a large amount of damage. In New York city and its immediate surroundings the weather was in a fit ful mood all day. Late in the afternoon there was a heavy downpour of rain, accompanied by a high wind. Consider able damage is reported from the bay end the rivers. There were many accidents to small craft in the vicinity of Brighton Beach but no casualties. A roof 50 feet long which was over the pier at the foot of Seventeenth street. Bath Beach, was lifted by the wind and carried a dis tance of 400 feet. The toboggan slide at Coney island, the property of J. L. Rankin of Saek ett Harbor. N. T., was destroyed by the storm. The damage is estimated at $6,000. A furious wind storm raged at Ni agar falls Saturday night and Sunday morning. Passengers who came from Toronto on the steamer Chicora of the Niagara River Navigation line report the trip as one of the worst they ever experienced. The sea ran high and the waves were constantly dashing over the boat. The steamer suffered a broken side and took in lots of water. The Corona started out from Lewiston, but was obliged to put back. Fears are entertained for the safety of some of the smaller craft known to be on the lake. OGDEN BADLY WRECKED. Scarcely a Building; in Town Unharm ed by the Storm. Ogden, Utah, Sept. 21. One or the most destructive storms ever witnessed in this vicinity passed over this city Saturday night, leaving devastation in its path. Fortunately there was no loss of life, but the damage amounts to $100,000. The large warehouse of F. J. Keisel Co. was burned; loss $50,000. The fire department by great effort saved the surrounding buildings. Great damage was caused by wire being blown down. The smokestack of the street railway powerhouse was blown down and the city left in darkness. Camps at the powerhouse south of Ogden were torn to rags. The roof of the large machine shops was torn away and other dam age done. Scarcely one of the large buildings of the city escaped without some damage. HEAVY GALE ON LAKES. Passenger Steamers Would Not Put Out From Chicago. Chicago, Sept. 21. The heavy gale that struck Lake Michigan Saturday morning raised in a very short time a tremendous sea, which proved a serious menace to navigation. The wind blew with great velocity and the tempera ture fell rapidly, adding to the discom fort of the unfortunate mariner. In coming boats report one of the heaviest gales of the season, with terrific seas, and nearly all boats that arrived dur ing the day bore evidence of having battled with the waves. The passenger boats that were sched uled to leave in the morning did not get away from their docks all day. Their captains were not disposed to take them out in the face of the gale, and there were no passengers willing t venture on the lake, no matter what their confidence in the boats might be. The steamers City of Milwaukee. City ef Kalamazoo and Soo City were all due to leave early in the morninff, but up to a late hour Saturday night they were moored to the dock, waiting for a chance for the better in the weather. SET THE DOG ON TIIEM. Inhuman Treatment of Sailors on the British Ship Warries. Boston, Sept. 21. Sixteen members of the crew of the British ship Warries, Capt. Kitchen, which has just arrived in port reported at the British consul's office and preferred charges against the captain, second mate and steward, which if true, indicate unusual cruelty and brutality. The complaint of the men in substance is that on several oc casions when sailing from Manilla last December, the second mate and stew ard beat the men unmercifully with belaying pins, besides setting the cap tain's dog on them. According to the crew the dog is a large and ferocious Russian hound, trained especially to terrorize the men on board the ship. The captain was summoned to a pre liminary examination by the consul, laughed and said: "I know nothing about the charges. There was no trou ble on board the ship." He admitted owning the dog, but re fused to talk further. The case will come up for a hearing again in the con sul's office, when the crew and all the officers of the Warries will be asked to testify under oath, as to the exact state of affairs. A statement written by a member of the crew and signed by all the men re cites that sailors were beaten until covered by blood and seriously bitten by the dog beside. On the passage of the vessel from Rio Janeiro the port whence she sailed from Cibu, Philip pine Islands, and thence to Boston, the boatswain who had been laid up four or five weeks with fever was buried at sea, although with what some of the crew thought were signs of life appar ent.

Senator Jones in his daily bulletin pays particular at tention to Illinois. After claiming the state for Bryan by 30,000, the bulletin says: The state, outside of Chicago, is so thoroughly saturated with free silver sentiment that even the Republicans concede that Bryan will come up to Chicago with a majority. A Democrat ic i-anvass of the state shows that Brv- an will come to Chicago with at least 30,000 majority. In Chicago, where the corporations and moneyed syndicates have been pursuing a policy of intimi dation and bulldozing of laboring men, conditions are more difficult to ana lyze, but the Democratic managers are assured from reports by leading labor representatives that nine-tenths of the organized labor vote of this city will be cast for Bryan, notwithstanding such intimidation on the part of the McKin leyized corporations. The electoral vote of Illinois is sure for Bryan by an overwhelming- majority." Mrs. Maybrick Given Consideration. London, Sept. 21. The home secreta ry.

Other Sporting News of a Gen eral Nature. Lawrence, Sept. 21. Whatever fear remained as to the gridiron prospects for the season was dispelled after the first evening's practice, and it can now lie stated positively that whether gold wins in Kansas or the cause of silver triumphs, the state university will have a foot ball team, as usual, and one to which all opposition must do honor. The "old men" the heroes of the bat tles of the past are slow to don the suits, preferring to take the preliminary work from the side lines. Captain Burt Hamill. Tom Hester, Griffith, Crooks and Kennedy are in school and will try for their old positions. "Walk er and Foster, center and tackle of last year's team, have not yet reported, but are expected soon. Piatt, Hill. Wil liamson and Pope have been graduated; Outland has gone to Pennsylvania uni versity; C. A. Burney is managing the team and will not play unless an emergency arises. Not all of the new men thus far re ported are new at the foot ball busi ness. Some of them have made them selves known with other teams. W. E. Fitzpatrick has played center with the St. Mary's college team; F. E. Howard has captained and played tackle with the Hiawatha academy team; Harry Whitney is from Oberlin, where he played end; Will Baine played full back last year for the Haskell institute eleven; Chester Dam played with the university '92 team, and Guy Simpson, after a rest of a year, is again out for tackle. J. C. Sanderson, who last year won the Cowan medal as the champion athlete of the university, is having his first experience at foot ball. Great things axe expected of him. Coach Hector Cowan, who has had charge of the university team for three years, will again look after the destinies of the team in the capacity of coach. He has spent the summer at the east, studying gymnastics and foot ball tactics. Will Matteson. the old 'var elty tackle, will assist Coach Cowan in handling the team. An effort is also being made to secure the services of ex-Captain O. K. Williamson. Trainer George Palmer is again here and has the training quarters under charge. The training table is already In operation. The first game of the season will be played on McCook field next Saturday with Ottawa university.

New York, Sept. 21. It is reported on good authority that General Horace Porter, a stalwart of the stalwarts, is slated for a position in the cabinet in case of McKinley's election. General Porter is a prominent mem ber of the Union League club, and the frined of the Vanderbilts, J. Pierpont Morgan, Geo. M. Pullman, and a host of Wall street men. General Porter is one of the most ef fective public speakers in the Republi can ranks. It is known that General Porter has long been a personal friend and admirer of Major McKinley, which of course adds to the probability of the report that slates him for a cabinet po sition. He has been vice president of Mr. Pullman's Palace Car company for nearly twenty-five years, a position which he just resigned to accept the chairmanship of the board of directors of the St. Louis San Francisco Rail road company. Eryan-Iieedy Club. The Bryan-Leedy Free Silver Flam beau club will hold a business meeting at the headquarters this even ing at 8 o'clock. Some important bus iness, say the officers. Subscribe for the STATE JOUENAU WADEJNJ5AND. Wichita Society Women Hare a New Fad. Think It a Most Sure Cnre For Rheumatism. SPECTATORS AMUSED. Adds to Blood Circulation to Trudge the Sand. Other Kansas News of a General Nature. Wichita, Sept. 21. The great sand wading fad has struck Wichita. Nobody ever thought that it would strike Wichita, but it has. It com menced last Wednesday night and has grown ever since. On that evening 'three of the most prominent society la dies in Wichita went down below the Maple street bridge in that desert of sand that stretches out there and they waded in it until nearly 10 o'clock. Thursday evening the number had in creased and on Friday evening there were at least thirty of them there. Peo ple stopped on the bridge, some out of curiosity and some horror-stricken, and watched them cavort over and through the sand, not knowing whether they were sane or insane. It was a novel sight, but the novelty will soon wear off as the sport becomes common, which doubtless it will in a short time. The fact is. there is a great deal of fun in the pastime, and the ladies seem to enjoy it fully as well as the specta tors. Not a few bell-cve that there is a great deal of curative virtue in wading in the sand. They claim the sand is warm and is especially agreeable to rheumatism in the ankles. They say also the exercise is healthful and that nothing in the world will help the cir culation of the blood more than the effort to maki one's way across half a mile of sand. There is one thing quite sure, and that is that the river bed down at the west end of Morris street is getting to be quite a resort. The cool weather will probably put a stop to the pastime. SYL DIXON'S WHEAT. A Gueer Case Ended in SumnerCounty Court Sold Mortgaged Wheat Wellington, Sept. 21. A strange suit has just come to a still stranger end in the district court. The suit grew out of the case of Anderson Gray vs. C. R. Riggs over some damages which Gray alleges he had sustained from Riggs' live stock. Gray appealed the damage suit from justice court to district court and Bur china! went on his appeal bond for 51,000 and took a mortgage on Gray's wheat to secure himself from loss. In the meantime Gray sold the mortgaged wheat to J. E. Carr and Svl Dixon of Argonia and the suit which came up Saturday was that of Burchinal vs. Carr to recover payment for the wheat upon which he. Burchinal, held the mortgage. When the case came up some irregularity in the appeal bond which rendered it illegal and void was discovered and consequently Mr. Burch inal was really on no bond and was not liable for a cent of costs. The case was at once dismissed. It exempted the plaintiff from any liability for pay ment of costs in the former suit and at the same time dispelled the defend ant's fears of having to pay twice for the wheat. LEAVENWORTH CARNIVAL. Citizens Actively at Work on Prepar ations Building Arches. Leavenworth, Sept. 21. The advertis ing committee for the Apple Carnival have perfected their work for advertis ing the festivities of the carnival. Copy was furnished the printers for the large posters, which are to be posted in every town and postoffice in surrounding counties, as- well as furnished to the large business houses to send out to their customers. The railroads will also distribute them along their lines. Carnival envelopes are to be printed and distributed to the business houses, for their use. Five thousand small handbills are to be printed for distribu tion at Atchison during the "Korn Kar nival." The Maple Leaf agent proposes to build a big arch opposite the Maple Leaf depot and his road has given him permission to spend $100 for this pur pose. Other roads will come to the front with something for the occasion. AFRAID OF TEXAS FEVEK. Stock Yards at Altamont and Oswego are Quarantined. Parsons, Sept. 21. The 'Frisco yards Altamont and the M. K. T. yards at Oswego have been quarantined, it be ing alleged that cattle from the Indian Territory had been shipped from these points. It is not known that the cattle were affected by the Texas fever, but it was considered advisable to be on the safe side. The quarantine was under the direction of J. W. Johnson, chairman of the state live stock sanitary commis sion. The Texas fever is raging at some points in Cherokee county on ac count of cattle being driven into the state in violation of law, and every pre caution will be taken to prevent the spread of the disease. TO CHASE WOIVE& Atchison County Farmers Tired of Losing Chickens. Atchison, Sept. 21. John Gabbert is getting up a wolf drive across the river. The wolves will be chased onto the big sandbar above the bridge, where they will be shot if they refuse to swim the river. Gabbert says the bottoms near the lakes are alive with these four-legged nuisances and there is not a night passes that some one's chicken house is not raided. Gabbert has lost over two hundred fowls during the last two weeks and others in his neighborhood have lost nearly as many. FORT SCOTT NORMAL SOLD.

St. Louis, Sept. 21. Frank James, the noted reformed bandit, brother of Jesse James, is one of the most persistent silver advocates in the state. Frank is doorkeeper at the Standard theater, and he also drops a flag for Starter Kit Chinn at the fair grounds every after noon. Chinn and his father, Colonel Jack Chinn, are two of the most enthus iastic supporters of the white metal in the state of Kentucky, but. James' other employer, Colonel Ed Butler.own er of the Standard theater, is a gold man. James has been preaching sil ver between races, instead of worrying himself over the outcome of the finan cial game in the betting ring. The former guerrilla is a keen-eyed, mild-mannered looking individual. He is very conservative in his talk among strangers, but when he gets started on the silver question there is no end to the colloquy. He can talk intelligent ly on the matter and produces facts and "cold logic" to back up his theory that the double standard is what the United States need. "I am willing to confess," said Frank to a gathering of horsemen on the quarter stretch the other day, "that I don't like Bryan and I think I have good cause. He made some speeches several years ago in which he referred in a very uncomplimentary manner to my dead brother, Jesse, and myself, but I can afford to be generous and re turn good for evil. We are not going to vote for individuals in November, but for a cause that is right and that must prevail. Silver is the stuff and the money barons can't stop us from having it. This country has been gov erned too long by Wall street, and the west is about due to make a change. I don't believe in permitting any foreign ers to dictate our financial policy, and if necessary I am willing to shoulder a gun and do my share towards effecting our release from the bonds of the monopolies. They are going too far with the squeezing process, and the masses are not going to stand it much longer. Money is a power and the man with it can do a lot of things that would get a poor beggar in trouble." ELECTRIC RELIGION. Rev. Mr. Knapp JW ill Have an Elec tric Blotor on Wheels. New Tork, Sept. 21. Rev. E. C. Knapp of the Baptist Church of the Re deemer has been receiving subscrip tions for some time for the construction of a gospel wagon, which he intends to be a memorial to his father, the late Rev. S. J. Knapp. It was at first intended that this lit tle church on wheels should be moved from place to piace by horses, but it has now been decided to equip it with an electric motor and machinery to run it without the aid of horses. Mr. Knapp will himself preach from the vehicle on week days. There will also be a stage large enough to accommo date ten singers and a folding organ. He is consulting with a motor ve hicle firm in this city and expects to have the plan for its construction ma tured in about a month. When fin ished the wagon will be the only one of its kind in tha world. It will cost about $1,000. 600 ARMENIANS KILLED. This is the Result of the Massacre at Egin. Constantinople, Sept. 21. Details re ceived here regarding the massacre at Egin, in the Vilayet of Kharput, show that it occurred on the lath and ICth of the present month. The Kurds at tacked the Armenian qua.rter, killed a large number of its inhabitants and pillaged and burned their houses. Many Armenians escaped to the mountains. According to the accounts of the Turkish government, 600 Armenians were killed at Egin, and these advices also state that the outrage was pro voked by the Armenians firing into the Turkish quarter. No authentic details of the massacre have yet been received. The Armen ians of Egin escaped the massacre of 1895 by purchasing their security. It is feared here that the massacre at Egin is the beginning of a fresh ser ies of. massacres in Armenia. A special cabinet meeting has been held at the place in order to consider plana for completing the defences of the Dardanelles as proposed by the Russian General Tschikatscheff who inspected these fortifications some time ago, which was regarded as indicating an understanding between Turkey and Russia for defensive purposes. Artim Pasha, the Turkish under sec retary of foreign affairs, has been in structed to accomplish the reconcilia tion of the government with the Ar menians, the means suggested being that Armenians should send an address to the sultan, praying for protection, asserting that the Armenians are al ways loyal and condemning the agitators. A BICYCLE THAT W ILL FLY. Designer Says He Can Go to Europe on the Machine in Two Days. New Tork, Sept. 21. Persons ad dicted to the bicycle habit are only be ginning to learn the possibilities there of. An inventor In Brooklyn says he is going to make a wheel soar in the air for any distance.

The inventor is Oscar Creymann of Moscow, Russia, who is now a guest of a Miss Schwardt in Brooklyn. The ma chine has eight wings of steel and silk. It weighs 85 pounds. It will be ready for trial in a few days. CARLISTS MAKE HEADWAY Followers of Don Carlos are Getting Stronger in Spain. Madrid, Sept.21. The Carlist agitation continues making headway slowly and the organization in that interest is be ing perfected at every point. The Heraldo today publishes another interview with Don Carlos, in which he is quoted as blaming the feebleness in Spain's dealings with the United States and declares that the situation is the same as that w hich preceded the revo lution of 1S68. In conclusion, Don Car los is said to have remarked that the Carlists were completely organized and armed and that they only await his word in order to rise against the gov ernment. CHARGES OF REBILLING. Witnesses Before Interstate Com merce Commission Affirm and Deny. Chicago, Sept. 21. The interstate commerce commission today investiga ted charges of rebilling; made against railroads in the northwestern territory. D. O. Ives, general freight agent of the Kansas City, St. Joe Council Bluffs and three other feeders of the Burling ton road admitted that his road was still rebilling on the balance of the through rate but only to a limited ex tent. George H. Crosby, general freight agent of the Burlington Missouri River lines in Nebraska and W. M. Hopkins of the Minneapolis St. Louis road denied that their roads indulged in the practice of rebilling. A FAYOR FOR LEEDT. How Mr. Hurd Stopped the Through Train for Him. J. W. Leedy, Populist candidate for g-overrior, came within an ace of hav ing to break his engagement to deliver a speech at Carbondale tonight. If it was not for the kindness of A. A. Hurd, solicitor for the Santa Fe, the Carbon dale people might have had to suffer this disappointment. Mr. Leedy planned to leave Topeka on train 113 this morning and reach Car bondale about noon. During the night, however, his watch had slowed up about five minutes, and when he reach ed the Santa Fe depot the rear of No. 113 was vanishing around the Ninth street curve. In other words he missed his train, and the only other west bound train be fore midnight did not stop at Carbon dale. The only two ways left Mr. Leedy of getting to Carbondale to fill his date was to drive there, a distance of 20 miles, or get the Santa Fe officials into giving him an order to have the through train stopped at that station. Mr. Leedy lost no time in calling on Mr. Hurd, the official who handles all politicians, and that gentleman made the order to have the train stopped. The gubernatorial candidate left for Car bondale at 12:05. NOT AN EYE WAS DRY. Odd Fellows Widows and Orphans Create an Affecting Scene. Dallas, Tex., Sept. 21. A grand public reception was tendered the sovereign grand lodge. Independent Order of Odd Fellows, which is in session here this morning. Governor Charles A. Culber son, in behalf of the state of Texas, welcomed the visitors in a short but appropriate address. A most touching sight closed the re ception, when the orphans and widows of members of the order, especial charges of the Odd Fellows of Texas, marched onto the stage singing an ode. There was not a dry eye among the thousands of spectators. The first session of the grand lodge was held this afternoon. Tomorrow there will be a reunion of grand past representatives.

Price, $L PENSIONS WILL GROW LESS Commissioner Murphy Says the Roll Will Grow Smaller From Now Oa. Washington, Sept 21. Domlnio I. Murphy, commissioner of pensions, has made his annual report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1896, to Secretary Francis. He says: "There were added to the rolls during the year 40,374 new pensioners, and there were restored 3,873 who had been previously dropped, a total of 44,247. "During the same period the losses were 29,393 by death and 1,141 by re marriage (widows), 1,684 by legal limi tation (minors), 2,552 because of failure to claim pension for three years and 9,323 for other causes, an aggregate of 44,093. The net gain over the previous year was only 154, and it may be now safely assumed that the roll from this time forth will show a marked and steady diminution, unless congress should enact still more liberal pro visions than are now upon the statute books. "The rate of mortality among pension ers, particularly amongthose who served during the war of the rebellion, is rap idly inereasing.the number reported de ceased during the year far exceeding that of any corresponding period in the history of the. bureau. The whole num ber of pensioners on the roll June 30, 1896, was 970,678. "While the rolls show a slight gain in numbers over the year immediately preceding, the amount disbursed for pensions was $138,214,761, a decrease of $1,592,575, as compared with the pre vious year. "There were 493,664 pension claims pending at the close of the fiscal year, 234,337 being applications for increases made by persons now on the rolls. "Although last year's estimate of $140,000,000 for pensions was $1,790,000 more than was necessary for the past fiscal year, the commissioner duplicates that estimate for the next fiscal year, stating that he believes the adjudica tion of many cases will make the full amount necessary. It is his intention to push the settlement of cases as rap idly as possible. An estimate of $1, 228,580 is made for miscellaneous ex penses." The commissioner says the payment by vouchers has worked satisfactorily and opposes a return to personal pay ments. Some difficulty is experienced in the execution of vouchers in Ger many and the state department has been requested to furnish the bureau information as to what persons have authority to administer oaths. There are 601 United States pensioners in Germany. Regarding the revision of the pension list the commissioner says: "There is no foundation for the er roneous impression that it is the inten tion still further to revise the lists, as the purging of the rolls commenced in 1S93 has been thoroughly accomplished. It ought to be understood however, that there still exists the purpose to maintain the pension roll as the na tion's roll of honor." Concerning prosecutions he says: "I am glad to state that the rigorous measures instituted by my predecessors have apparently discouraged violators of the pension laws and rendered the business of procuring fraudulent pen sions unsafe and unprofitable." Commissioner Murphy commends the work of the special examiners and says that the additional force of 150 should be continued. He recommends the passage of the bill pending in congress for the codification of the pension laws. M'KINLEY AND WATSON. This is the Ticket Talked of in Texas. Washington, Sept. 21. E. H. It Green, chairman of the Republican state committee of Texas was in the city today on his way to New Tork and had a brief conference with Chairman Babcock of the Republican cangress ional campaign committee. He told Mr. Babcock that Texas was excellent fighting ground for the Republicans and expressed his own determination to press the contest to the end with the hope of winning. He says that fusion with the Popu lists and gold Democrats has been prac tically accomplished and states that in some portions of the state the Populists are talking of a ticket composed of Mc omi Wntson. Mr. Green also says that a canvass of the state has just been completed which snows that tne Populists outnumber the silver Demo crats. Mr. Green thinks it possible to win at least five congressmen from the Demo crats in the state. Chairman Stevens of the silver party, who has just returned from Colorado, takes exception to the claims of Con gressman Apsley in regard to the elec tion prospects in the west. Mr. Stev ens says that all the states west of the Missouri river are sure for Bryan and that Colorado, which Apsley regards as somewhat doubtful, will give the Dem ocratic candidate 150,000 majority. Mr. Stevens also regards the south as solid against McKinley and is of the opinion that Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, Minnesota and Iowa are the fighting grounds for the remainder of the cam paign. For this reason, Mr. Stevens expects to spend most of his time be tween now and election day in Chi cago. Pleaded Guilty to the Blow. John Brokaw, of 520 Liberty street, met Homer Repp of Vinewood, last ev-pnir.2- near his home and attacked him viciously. For this he was arrest ed on a warrant from Justice Guy's court today. "I guess I'll plead guilty," said Brokaw. I hit him only once with my fist." The quarrel has been brewing since last spring. Brokaw is 17, Repp 20. Argument in Scott-Jackson Case.

A special dispatch from Berne, Switzerland, says that Mr. George F. Curtis, one of the assistant librarians of congress of the United States, residing at the Arno, Washing ton, D. C. has been arrested by two de tectives at the hotel at which he was stopping In Grlndefald, 33 miles from this city. He was thrown into Jail at Interlaken, searched, all his money and papers were seized, his baggage was ransacked and he was kept in prison until late at night, when a director of police arrived at Interlaken from Berne arid Mr. Curtis was released. It appears that the outrage was the result of police stupidity, Mr. Curtis being mistaken for a. criminal who is wanted by the Swiss police. In addi tion to his passport Mr. Curtis carried a circular letter of introduction from the secretary of state of the United States. He has lodged complaint against his treatment with the consul of the United States, who is now mak ing a thorough investigation of the matter. POLITICAL GARNISHMENT. Mr. Bonebrake Says He Hasn't Got Anything to Do With It, Anyway. P. I.

THE CLOUD LIFTS. Tlie heavy importations of gold which hav been going on for some weeks are having tha effect which always results from an expansion o the volume of the circulating medium. Prices are ad vancing and the stagnation in business is beginning to disappear. This condi tion will last and grow until another period of contraction sets in. Stocks are the first to respond to the new condition as they always are and for the past week there has been a steady advance all along the line. Ce reals and provisions are also beginning to feel the effect of the prevailing sit uation. The volume of business throughout the country is Increasing and there can be little doubt that the country is entering upon an era of business activity and prosperity which it will be difficult to arrest. Topeka's Fall Festival could not oc cur at a more opportune time. It will give additional impetus to the good feeling which already pervades local business circles. The general improve ment throughout the country is sup plemented here by vhe repairing of the streets, the building of the new bridge and the Increase of time at the Santa Fe shops; all important factors in To peka's future welfare. The cloud which has rested over the country like a pall for three years is lifting. There is no longer any doubt about it. Having suffered less from the general depression during this trying period than most cities, Topeka is in a condition to more quickly re spond to the altered situation. It is notable that throughout the critical period in financial affairs there has been no bank failure in this city and there have been very few commer cial failures. Topeka can and will fall in line with the general forward move ment just as though nothing had hap pened. The Fall Festival may be Justly regarded in the light of a cele bration of the return to prosperity. SHERMAN'S TESTIMONY. The Denver Republican prints the following extract from a speech de livered by John Sherman in the senate April 11, 1876: "The utter ruin that would come to mankind, especially to the poorer na tions, by the entire demonetization of silver, cannot be estimated by us. Take one-half of the solid money of the world out of existence, take the sole standard of more than two-thirds of the human race, reduce it to a base metal, and the effect upon the com merce of the world would be incalcula ble. It cannot be done, it will not be done. These two metals have traveled side by side from the beginning of time. The records of human history do not go back to a time where they did not move together. They have varied in value, sometimes one and some times the other being the higher; but they have gone on, gold the money of the rich, silver the money of the poor, the one to measure acquired wealth, the other to measure the daily neces sities of life, and, sir, no act of parlia ment, although it may disturb for a moment the relations of these two met als to each other, nothing but the act of God, can destroy the use of both of them by mankind." Probably anticipating that the sena tor would, as is his custom, deny this the Republican adds: In order that there may be no dis pute about the authenticity of this ci tation, we will say that it can be found on page 206 of the "Life of John Sher man," written by Rev. S. A. Bronson, and published in 1888 "by authority of Sena .or Sherman, and corrected by himself." The weather man appears to be look ing out that Mr. Bryan's meetings shall not be dry affairs. There is a growing Impression that Chairman Butler talks almost as much with hia mouth as does Tom Watson. Can it be possible that the gold stand ard managers are overlooking the great moral advantage to their cause of hav ing Colonel Breckinridge on the stump? Mr. Ingalls appears to have delivered an almost entirely new speech at Wa karusa. Saturday. Mr. Ingalls is to be congratulated; he needed it, and the public deserved it. It will be well for those who do not Wish to forget the incidents or thiscam paign to fix firmly in their minds now the fact that there was a ticket nomi nated at Indianapolis. We hope Gov. Morrill is not going on Che stump to tell what an "imbecile, anarchist, thief and repudiationist" he was in 1894, when he declared for the free coinage of silver. There ought to be at least one more national ticket In the field with Ben nington for president and Willits and Steinberger for vice presidents. It would be certain to poll three votes. In New York there are 30,000 more school children than there are accom modations for. It Is the New York pa pers that talk most loudly about the "ignorant and imbecile" people of the West. In declaring himself la favor of the free coinage of silver in 1S94 CorrgTess- kman Blue said the matter of ratio was a mere detail. Mr. Blue now advocates the single gold standard. With Mr. Blue principle is a mere matter ol tech nicality and detaxk INFLUENCE OF THE STAGE TODAY. From the Chicago Chronicle. Some jaundiced observers are forever informing us that the drama Is not what it used to be, and not a few crit ics, especially those in the pulpit, are fond of harping upon the uncleanness of the stage and the degeneracy of the popular taste. But a sincere and intelligent Inquiry into the matter would, we Imagine.have a cheering effect upon these mourners, and for their sake we will call atten tion to some encouraging features In the present situation. Setting aside the tremendous question of the drama's decay, the actor's and the public's degeneracy in regard to the art of acting, the record of the sea son recently closed shows that the plays which were most successful were almost invariably of the most whole some kind. There was a marked de cline in the popularity, never pronounc ed In this country, of the erotic plays form France, of the usually immoral so-called problem play with which English dramatists in particular flood ed our stage and of all works which contained nastiness of any sort. On the other hand, the greatest suc cess of the season was a romantic dra ma, which depended upon its atmos phere of adventure and heart interest to attract and delight the public. If a list of the important plays which made money and won applause last season were to be compiled hardly one not possessed of healthy tone would be found there. The theater-goer in this city will readily recall as among the most note worthy events of the season Mr.Herne's beautiful "Shore Acres," Sir Henry Irving's superb productions of the po etic drama, the lamented Frank Mayo's clean-cut creation of "Pudd'nhead Wil son," Clay Clement's picture of noble manhood in "The New Dominion," the old-fashioned romance of "The Prisoner of Zenda," Mr. Skinner's "Hamlet" and the accustomed excursions in comedy of the best kind by such artists as Nat Goodwin, John Drew and the veteran Joseph Jefferson. As far as we can see the effect of all these plays and of the actors' work in them was to elevate as well as to en tertain mankind. In some of them, as broad-minded ministers of the gospel have occasionally testified, moral truths and ennobling influences were exhibi ted and enforced with great and per suasive power. There were plays also which appealed to the baser instincts of man, which pandered to his animality and so did great harm. But they were not the ar tistic triumphs nor the money makers of the season. Very few of them found a lodgement in the reputable theaters. Even in what are called the cheap the aters, where melodrama and farce pre vail, there was seldom to be found any thing worse than insanity or vulgarity. It is a noteworthy fact that the most indecent plays of the last decade have been served up at high prices in thea ters of the first-class. In the same line of argument can be adduced the fact that in those theaters where variety entertainments are giv en continuously there is seldom to be found a performance to which objec tion can be taken on moral grounds. The multitudes which flock to these theaters evidently prefer, for instance, a song breathing a pure sentiment to the naughty chanson imported from Parisian boulevards. Look over the sales of the popular songs of the day and you will find that far beyond all are the "Sweet Maries," "Annie Rooneys" and the like which in a homely way have idealized some gentler impulse of the heart. It is the wise manager, in this land at all events, who never forgets that the masses are for the pure and good in the main, that the most influential of all theater-goers are the women, in whose hearts God has planted a strong er and more steadfast aspiration for sweetness and light than man in the rough, soiling tide of life can maintain. That more and more of our managers are becoming wise augurs well for the extension of the theater's influence in an uplifting direction. CAN'T GO TO FAIRS. Marc Hanna Says That Republ iean Orators are Wasted There. Chicago. Sept. 21. Marc Hanna has decided that political speakers shall not be sent to county or state fairs. For the last three weeks each day has brought to the Republican national headquaiters 200 requests for Republi can speakers for county fairs. The request was generally for such men as Thomas B. Reed. Senator John M. Thurston, General Alger, ex-President Harrison. Senator Frye and William MeKlnley. All of these requests were refused by the Republican managers. "Why cannot speakers go to the fairs?" was asked Mr. Hanna. Well," came the answer from the di rector of the campaign, "the average attendant at a county or state fair is a great deal more interested in the six legged calf, the sword eater, the bal loon ascension, the parade of prize stock, the trotting races and the patch work exhibit than in the intricacies of the financial question or the benefit of high tariff.

The preparations for the reception of the czar and czari na who are expected to reach Leith harbor at 2:30 p. m. on Tuesday are almost completed. With the exception of the arrival and the departure of their Russian majesties, there will be no state cere monies. The recently discovered dyn amite conspiracy has undoubtedly served to cause the authorities to double the precautions taken to ensure the safety of the imperial travelers and the greatest anxiety is expressed lest any accident should occur. The Rus sian embassy here is vibrating with excitement, several members of the Russian secret police have been in England for a week past and they will be reinforced by a squad of the most famous of the czar's Nihilist detectives the latter accompanying the czar to Balmoral and later to Paris. The Russian imperial yacht Standard on entering Leith harbor will pass through lines of warships belonging to the channel squadron which will fire imperial salutes. The czar and czarina will be received at the jetty by the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Con naught, a number of field officers and the guard of honor composed of blue jackets. The czar's escort will consist of a de tachment of the Second Dragoons(Roy al Scots Grey3) of which the czar is colonel in chief, and 300 policemen and a regiment of Highlanders will line the streets leading from the jetty to the railroad station which is only 400 yards distant. The czar will ride to the station in a carriage sent from Buckingham pal ace made for their use and the train which will convey the imperial party to Balmoral is the queen's "special," which will run. from Leith to Ballatar, the railroad station of Balmoral with out any stops. Upon arriving at Ballater the czar and czarina will drive in state carri ages through the lanes of servants in Highland costume, holding flaming torches in their hands.. The entire route will be guarded by soldiers and po lice and will be barricaded throughout. The visit of the czar and czarina to the queen will last a fortnight, at the expiration of which time the imperial travelers will leave by Perth arid will go direct to Portsmouth where they will embark on board the imperial yacht Standard for France. For the entertainment of the czar, the Prince of Wales has projected a number of shooting, fishing and driving excursions in which the Duke of Con naught will also take part. The Prince and Princess of Wales will stay with the queen at Balmoral castle, but the other members of the royal family will put up at Bergeldie. A private chapel for the use of the czar and czarina has been arranged in one of the rooms of Balmorai castle. The sacred vestments, crucifixes and tokens for the chapel have been sent from the Greek church in London. The apartments which will be oc cupied by the czar and czarina at Bal moral castle face the river Dee. They are simply furnished, as for the matter, are all the rooms at Balmoral. The corridors are hung with horrible imi tation marble wall paper and are lighted by oil lamps and trophies of the chase shot by distinguished visit ors. Heads and antlers of deer, etc., are fixed at every available spot and hunting pictures abound. The general public is expecting some political work to be accomplished at Balmoral to the advantage of Great Britain during the visit of the czar by which an agreement will be ratified at Balmoral in regard to Armenia. Great Rritain is to take a dignified position in the interest of humanity and will stand aside while the czar polices Turkey. no campaignTng On Either Side Allowed in TJhcle Sam's Navy Yards.

FITZ1IUGII LEE Refutes Some of the Foolish Fabrica tions of Cuban Correspondents. (Copyrighted, 1896. by Associated Press.) Havana, Sept. 21. General Fltz hugh Lee.the United States consul gen eral here, was asked today by a rep resentative of the La Lucha about the widely circulated reports in some of the American newspapers charging General Weyler with having had a no tice posted at Las Cabannes directing that he. General Fitzhugh Lee, should be arrested and detained there if he visited the fortress. General Lee was also questioned about statements fre quently made in the newspapers of the United States that he was not permit ted to visit the American prisoners in carcerated in the forts near Havana and that, therefore, he could not keep informed as to their health and condi tion. Consul General Lee submitted to an interview in which he said: '"A few days after my arrival in Havana, at the invitation of my pre decessor, Mr. Williams. I accompanied him on a visit to the Competitor pris oners confined at Las Cabannes. Some days later I heard that it was against the regulations to allow foreigners to visit millitary forts at this time, even on visitors' day, as it is called, and that the officer commanding at Las Cabannes had been reprimanded by General Weyler for allowing me to make the said visit. The officer in question offered as an excuse that his subordinate officers on duty at the gates did not know me, but supposed I was one of the visitors entitled to enter the fort on visitors' day. "From abundant caution and in or der to prevent any occurrence of that sort in future, the commanding officer at Las Cabannes I heard, had a no tice posted in one of the guard rooms directing his officers to arrest and de tain me if I should again attempt to enter the fort. "When I heard of this notice I at once called General Weyler's attention to it and he very promptly had It re moved. I am informed that he repri manded the officers who had posted it. "As to the statements that I am not allowed to see the American prisoners and that the prohibition does not apply to the consuls of other countries I de sire to say that all such statements are incorrect. I, or my representative can see any or all the American prisoners at any time that it is desirable to do so by simply sending notice to the com manding officer of the fort on the even ing before. This being done, the offi cer is required by General Weyler to have the prisoners named at a certain point where they can be seen and talked with alone if necessary. Only a morning or two ago one of my rep resentatives went over to Las Caban nes and saw and conversed with all the Competitor prisoners, distributing among them a lot of money which had been sent to me for their use as well as a large bundle of American newspa pers. "I think It but justice to General Weyler to state these facts and to add further that I know of no instance of which he has made any discrimination against the consul general of the Uni ted States who is now and has been in the exercise of all the rights of consuls of other countries. Why, General Weyler, added Mr. Lee, has fined a newspaper for using offensive language about the American consul general." ROBERT TUTT COMMUTED And His Sentence to the Penitentiary Will Expire Shortly. Governor Morrill has commuted the sentence of Robert Tutt of Douglas county from five to two years in the cHiLcmiary. xutt and two others broke into a car on the' Union Pacific railroad at Lawrence and were tried and found guilty of burglarv in the second degree under the statutory law. One of the three turned state's evidence and was instrumental in the conviction of the other two. The third man was tried and found guilty of grand lar ceny only and was sentenced to two years in the penitentiary, while Tutt got five on account of being found guil ty of burglary. Since Tutt's conviction the supreme court has declared that the section of the statute under which he was tried and convicted was unconstitutional. Taking all these matters into consider ation the board of pardons recommend ed that his sentence be commuted to two years and the governor has ap proved the recommendation of the board and signed his commutation. By the commutation Tutts' term will ex pire in a short time. IN BRIAN'S LUCKY ROOM. Kansas Man is Apprised That He Has Struck It Rich. Chicago, Sept. 21. The famous "lucky No. 13" room at the Clifton house has once more been distinguished. Ever since Candidate Bryan occupied the room and was nominated it has been in great demand among persons of senti ment. Although an unlucky number, It is said that it has never failed to bring luck in some form to the person occupy ing it. When A. C. Majors of Wichita, Kan., registered last evening and asked for a room of a particular price. No. 13 happened to be vacant, and Clerk Koh ler assigned it to him. As he did so he handed him a. telegram which had just arrived. "What do you make out that word to be?" he asked the clerk as he read the dispatch. The clerk deciphered that the word was "favorably." "Then I am just J100.000 richer than I was five minutes ago," said the delight ed Kansan. The dispatch was a brief one an nouncing to him that some investments in mining stocks had turned out favor ably, thereby netting him a fortune. MO. PACIFIC Reunion Excursion.

Q L COFRAN, Proprietor. A HAND SAW IS A GOOD THING, BUT NOT TO SHAVE WITH." IS THE PROPER THING COL. VAN HORN FOR SILVER The Kansas City Republican Con gressman to Address a Bryan Club. From the Kansas City Times. Col. R. T. Van Horn, editor of the Kansas City Journal, and Republican congressman from this district, will de clare his position in the present cam paign in an address before the Central Bryan free silver club at Turner hall next Tuesday night. Col. "Van Horn has long been an en thusiastic advocate of free coinag-e and will doubtless reiterate his well known belief on that question. In this cam paign he is out of line with his party, and there has been much speculation about his position as to the candidates. It is presumed that he will take occa sion in his address to answer these in quiries, but he flatly refuses to de clare in advance whether he will or what is his position. D. S. Patterson, secretary of the Bry an club, made the announcement last evening that Col. Van Horn has ac cepted an invitation to address the club and that Turner hall has already been engaged. "Persons who know Col. Van Horn," said one of his close friends last night, "are confident that he will leave no uncertainty as to his devotion to the cause of silver. I know that he consid ers Mr. Bryan a man vastly superior in every way to Mr. McKinley. and I believe he will vote for the silver cham pion. He Is keeping his Intentions as to his ballot to himself, however, and I shalr not be surprised if he makes no announcement thereof." Col. Van Horn will make a number of free silver speeches before the end of the campaign. The story that he in tends to publish a letter repudiating the platform of his party and Indorsing Bryan is not confirmed by him, al though it Is very probable that he will do so before the campaign ia over. Those who know him best say that he is contemplating such a step, and that he long ago made up his mind to vote for Bryan. Speaking of the mat ter yesterday, Col. Van Horn said: I have not made the announcement of what I expect to do, and I am not ready to make any announcement at this time. All I have ever said to give anyone an idea of what I intended to do is that I told Henry K. E33 that if he wanted me to speak before his non partisan free silver club some night. I would be glad to do it. This is all I have to say about the matter Just at present." This means Just as much, coming from the lips of Col. R. T. Van Horn, as though he had issued a formal state ment a column long denouncing the St. Louis platform. He will look after this when he takes the stump. The Republican feossej are much troubled over the position taken by the veteran Republican, and are won dering how many Republicans will stay with him in his stand for free sil ver. When his name came before the voters the other day he received one fourth of the entire vote, and at that many of hia friends were prevented "I V W f l"f W 3i 1 tZ. $75.oo loo.oo u Clipper," new, f) rims, mahogany v. wheel, nearly X ?ioo.oo t5-u w Stormer, gent's A a Ai nn J ic.n.i V-7 w.wv x. make lively trade. the bargain want- c v once. m m iii r v FOR HOUSE-CLEANING. from voting for him because they were challenged and refused to swear that they would vote for McKinley. The most conservative estimate places the number of Republicans in Kansas City who will vote for Bryan at 1.000, and the best posted politicians of both parties place the number a great deal higher. There is every indication that Bryan will have a large majority In side the city limits. MISS WILLAED'S MISSION. She is in London in the Interest of Armenian Refugees. London, Sept. 21.

How do our Methodist brethren like that for a Sunday school teacher?" but it stated also, that his voice is tuned to the doxoloey." I would like 1 1 know how those ministerial brethren can reconcile those statements. Mr. Leedy's voice may not be "tuned to the doxcircy." but at least he is not a hyp ocrite.

I hardly think so. as thy were organ ized for the expressed purpose of over throwing cur prohibitory law. If you know they are coming to your party, you must also know it is because they have the assurance that if Morrill is elected they will "receive favor in his pight." can you make any profession cf loyalty to our prohibitory law-, and vote a ticket endorsed by the O. M. B. Your ballets could not be told apart v.hen counted. As to the statement that Morriil is a better man "political ly" than ?dr. Leedy. Weill there is rom for a difference of opinion there. Ministers should rem-rr.ber that quite a per cent ef those upon whom they de pend for their salaried support, have difterent vi.-ws concerning that ques tion, the prairies are full of them, and the glitter of the constantly increasing in value gold dollar, should not blind their eyes to that fact. It would hardly be rood policy for Dr. Fisher to go into a count! y church and preach his gold standard from the pulpit. Should he cio so. I tear he would soon be preach ing to empty pews, and that his salary Wouid net be grer.tiy increased thereby. As an old time, party Prohibitionist. I can see no way for one to do. who has our prohibitory law at heart, but to vote with one of the Prohibition par ties. You can be a Void man. or. a "silver" man and say so by y.mr ballot fcr either Hurley or Douthart. and be consistent, and be counted for prohibi tion at the same time. You ministers who have so long "resolved" and -protested" will you not now act? Don't go to the polls and vote an M.

Ingalls said: -If this !s done for the purpose of disturbing this meet ing it is ill-timed and will be of no ef fect.

It Issues a Proclamation to the Peo ple of Topeka. To the Public: Since the proper ad justment of my ears, I have heard of misapprehensions of my personal being and I beg to state that I am not the ferocious, angular, vindictive fire-spitting dragon of past ages that my ce lestial education has changed me w hol ly from my terrestial, barbarous na ture. Through the companionship of the valorous Don Quixote that most learn ed, courteous, equitable ;tnd polished of chivalric knights and the influence of the peerless Dulcinea del Toboso; and the homely wisdom and good nature of Sancho even my features have chang ed. No more have I the sharp angles of the dragon of old; but my lines are rounded out in Hogarth's curves of beauty. Even Dulcinea is pleased to call me beautiful, even unto loveliness. Distincly I am not the kind of dragon that was overcome by Saint George.No; I am rather a good natured. genial dra gon can appreciate jokes, know the humor of my coming again upon earth. I am permitted to roll high'" with you; to come and to show- that in the great ness of our vast universe, culture and Improvement do not end on earth. With mirth and jolity I am thine. THE DRAGON OF AGES. By his groom, HENRY WORRALL. SX0W IN MICHIGAN'. The Upper Peninsula Enveloped In a Mantle of White. Marquette. Mich.. Sept. 21. The earl iest snow storm ever known in this sec tion struck ITpper Peninsula yesterday. The fire sufferers in Ontonagan, who are living in tents, were the worst smitten of all. Their tents were blown down by the terrible wind, and 200 peo ple forced to walk the streets in snow two inches deep and shelter themselves as best they could against the bitter gale. At Republic snow began to fall shortly before noon, and was still falling at last reports. At Westmore the mercury fell over 30 degrees in twelve hours, and snow be gan to fall this morning, while the wind was blowing a terrific gale. From many other points in the fpper Penin sular come reports of like nature, and a heavy snowfall Is shown in a number of towns. Great fear3 are entertained for the safety of the boats on Lake Su perior and Upper Lake Michigan, but thus far no actual loss of life has been reported. ir "Jt state, was again Si--- who sells cheapest. MR. BURTON SPEAKS. Addresses tle Republicans of North Topeka. J. R. Burton, candidate for United States senator, delivered his first cam paign address in this city to a large and enthusiastic audience of Republi cans at Lukens' Opera House in North Topeka, Saturday right. Mr. Burton spoke for about two hours. He said: "Notwithstanding the intense interest in this campaign.and there Is the great est interest exhibited everywhere. I think it should be conducted as a cam paign of education. Mr. Bryan has said it is to be a campaign of deep feeling. He is trying to array the masses against the classes, the south and west against the east. "The real question, what is money and what are its uses, should be con sidered in a quiet, dispassionate man ner. Money is used to measure the bal ances. Money is the life blood of com merce. What is commerce? Commerce is the handling, development, trading and sometimes we call it swapping of property. It is the handling, develop ment and trading of all the property in the world. Since money is the life blood of com merce, let us discuss its uses. Many consider its particular use is to pay debts. That is only a small part. It is to transact business. If we should not pay any debts for a year it would not create a hundredth part of the dam age that would occur should we loert the wheels of commerce for one week. "Suppose commerce shouid. be stop ped for one week. Paralysis would sweep over the country and I can not conceive of any other cause that would be so disastrous in its effects. To draw the life blood from commerce is like drawing the life blood from the body. The body would be completely prostra ted. "What is government? The Populists say it is a big father who can take care of his children and make money for them. The government is no more than a hired hand, our servant, not our mas ter. Government is a pauper. It has no money except what we give it. "There is one man who has been more maligned than anyone since George Washington, and even more than he. No. for John Sherman has never been accused of being an embezzler as Wash ington was when he was running for president. "Young men. don't imagine because a man is abused he is necessarily not a patriot. Mark my words. A hundred years from now. when the people have passed far enough away from John Sherman to appreciate his political ca reer, as a mountain gains in grandeur, in receding, he will tower higher than any other statesman of the century, unles.s it be that other great financier, Alexander Hamilton. "Every government in the world has tried the double standard. Every gov ernment has abandoned it. that is every government that is worth anything. England tried it first. She tried to lock the metals in a vice and hold them lev el, but found the impossibility of it, and had to take the dearer. "Today this country is the university of the world to which the other coun tries are looking for enlightenment. If McKinley is elected I believe we can complete the work Harrison started.and gain a dollar worth one hundred cents. "Bryan and Watson are trying to ar ray the west and south against the east. In an address one hundred years ago today. George Washington said there should be no north, no south, no east and no west. You soidiers thought you had stifled sectionalism by the war ar.d our motto is still. 'Union, now and forever, one and inseparable.' VALUABLE ORE IS STOLEN. Tom Boy 21ine in Colorado Loses Be tween $20,000 and $30,000. Teiluride. Colo.. Sept. 21. The Tom Boy mine has been robbed of between 120.000 and $30,900 of ore. The most valuable ore was sacked and placed in the powder house, which was left open for a short time, and nine bags taken. It is supposed that the ore, after hav ing been stolen, was hidden in the vi cinity of the mine, and a close watch is being kept. The man who had charge of the pow der house was brought to the city this morning in custody of the officers, but nothing was proved against him. The mine is one of the greatest gold pro ducers in southern Colorado. Finest Work, Shortest Time, Least Expensive, At TOPEKA STEAM LAUNDRY. Both 'Pfcones 153.

In a speech here Saturday Governor Culberson read the following significant correspond ence between himself and Prince Bis marck on the money question: "Prince Bismarck: Sir The great question of finance is now of supreme interest to the people of the United States. It is presented in various forma, but in a general way, it may be said to be, first, whether the United States shall adopt the single gold standard, or second, whether they shall adopt bi metallism, with gold ar.d silver as the primary money. The argument in fa vor of each is well known to you. but it is purely insisted that we should adopt the policy of the bimetallism be cause the supply of gold in the world for coinage is insufficient to meet the demand, and because such a standard will stiil further depress the value of all property. "Which, in your judgment, i3 the best policy to adopt, the gold standard or bimetallism, giving your reasons? -What effect, in your judgment, will the immediate adoption of bimetallism by the United States have on the cause of bimetallism in Germany and other great commercial nations. (.Signed) "C. CULBERSON., "Governor of Texas." INDEPENDENT ACTION RIGHT. In reply Prince Bismarck said: Friedrichsruhe. Aug. 24. "Honored Sir: Your esteemed favcr has been duly received. I hold that this is the very hour that would be advisable to bring about between the nations chiefly engaged in the world's commerce a mutual agreement in fa vor of the establishment of bimetallism. The United States are freer by far in their movements than any nation of Europe, and hence if the people of the United States should find it compatible with their interests to take independent action in the direction of bimetallism. I cannot but believe that such action would exert a most salutary influence upon the consummation of an interna tional agreement. (Signed) "BISMARCK." POPULIST CERTIFICATES Of Nominations are Filed Two Chair men Talk. The Populist state central commit tee filed the certificates of the nomi nation of the Abilene convention with the secretary of state on Saturday aft ernoon. The electors are the ones namcl by the Abilene and Hutchinson conven tions and are all Democrats. On the Democratic certificate, which was filed last week they are designated in the party column as' "Democrats" while in the Populist certificate they are de nominated as -People's Party." The certificate that was filed Saturday reads: "Certificate of nomination for presidential electors of the People's Party, "and then is added with pen and ink. "whose candidate for president is William J. Bryan and for vice presi dent Thomas E. Watson." Some of the Republicans have sought to make a good deal of capital out of this addition, claiming that there was a disposition on the part of the Popu lisms to bolt the agreement. Chairman J. Mack Love said this morning: "I don't think that claim will fool any one. It was discussed by both com mittees before any action was taken and is in line with the action of the Hutchinson and Abilene conventions." Chairman Breidenthal said: "The claim that is being made by the oppo sition that there i3 a scheme of some kind in the certificate being worded in that way is too absurd to pay any at ention to. It won't fool anyone." FORCE TURKEY TO TERMS. St. James Gazette Says England, Italy and United States Will Act Together. London, Sept. 21.

Items of Interest About Kansas Rail road Matters Personals and Miscellaneous. It is probable that at the time the beard of directors of the Santa Fe elect a first vice president to succeed D B Kobmson that the offi.ee of first vice president will be authorized to be changed from Chicago to Topeka Shrould this change be made it will be due principally to the efforts' of Colonel- C. K. Helliday of this city For eome time Colonel Hollidav has favored the transfer of this office from Chicago to Topeka, and since the resignation of Mr. Robinson has been working ear nestly for this end. Years ago all the executive officers of the Santa Fe, with bet one or two ex ceptions, made their headquarters in this city. As the road increased in mileage and the volume of-business be came greater, however, thsK oiEcials were one by one transferred to Chicago until at -last not one of the svstem of ficers, only the officials of the A. T. S. F. road proper, made their head Quarters in this city. All such changes were strongly protested against by Col onel Holliday, and men who advocated the transfers always found in him'an opponent. Colonel Holliday believed that the history of the Santa Fe road was so closely identified with that of To peka that the city should be made the general headquarters of the entire sys tem, and all officials whose work did not require an easter office should re train here. Since the new management assumed control of the road. Colonel Holliday riaa again interested himself In this matter with'a view of having1 at least some of the offices changed. Mr. Rip ley is a thorough business man and un doubtedly fully realizes "that the closer a railroad .can identify itself with the interests or the state Whefe its busi ness is, the better it will be for the road. Besides, the first Vice president, fcaving direct charge of the operating department, could handle the work as "well, if not betier, from Topeka a from tlie east. The question of electing a successor to Mr. Robinson will probably come up fct tiie next meeting of the board of di rectors, on October 7. While the office of first viee president may not be filled at that meeting.the committee appoint ed to select a man for the place, of which Mr. Ripley 1b rhairman, will un doubtedly make its report.

Judge Hazen this morning decided in favor of the American Book company rn the Crane school book contest by denying the application of George W. W. Crane Co., for an injunction to prevent County Superintendent Stout from cariying out the provisions of the contract made by the text book board for school books for the county. This is the end of what promised ta be a hard fight on the school book ques tion. There was a bitter contest before the text book board between the Amer ican Book company and George W. Crane Co. in which Mr. Crane at tempted to have Barnes Readers which are now in use supplanted by the Ex celsior readers. The American Book company won the fight by a close vote and Mr. Crane then sought an injunc tion. Before the preliminary papers could be secured the board entered into a contract and adjourned. The suit was brought on the ground that the American Book company was a trust and the" contract was therefore void and also on the ground that there had been a combination against Mr. Crane before the board. It was also claimed that the Crane readers were superior and cheaper in price. Judge Hazen said that he could not deal with the question of superiority of books and the only question involved was whether the anti-trust law had been violated. "The plaintiff has fallen short of proving that," said he. "The evidence shows that there is sharp com petition in many counties and there is no evidence that there was a combine that would justify this court in inter fering."

Judge Hazen said it appeared from the evidence of lawyers that the fees charged were not excessive in view of the work to be done and that it was not the fault of the at torneys that she lost her property on mortgage after the attorneys had saved it for her when she had been defrauded. The amount of the fees charged in the various cases by the two attorneys was about $1,000 and the value of the property involved was about $S,000. TO MOVE THE BRIDGE. Contractor Keepers Says He Can Not Delay Matters. Contractor W. H. Keepers, who is to build the Melan bridge across the Kan sas river told a Journal reporter today that he expected to move the old bridge to its new foundation this week com mencing next Friday evening. He says that the delay means loss of money to the contractors because it is essential that they should commence work as soon as possible to take advan tage of the fair weather. The water pipes have not yet been removed and it is that fact that prevented the moving Saturday night. It is possible that if the new water connections are not made the bridge will not be moved this week. The movement to allow the old bridge to remain in place until after the Fall Festival has taken no definite shape. The contractors are the only ones who have authority as the contract they have with the county commissioners al lows them to move the bridge when they wish. FLOODS IN WYOMING. Rock Springs Flooded Piles of Hail Two Feet Deep. Denver, Colo.. Sept. 21. A special to the News from Rock Springs, Wyo., says: Late this afternoon a heavy rain fell and a fiooS came in from the south side of the town and the streets were covered with water about a foot and a half deep. It carried away sidewalks and flooded cellars of residences arid business houses, causing damage to the amount of $50,000. Two men came in from the south and report that there was a heavy fall of hail and rain about three miles out. They saw piles of hail two feet deep. Bitter Creek is rising and it is feared that it will continue for some time as the storm passed east. If so, more damage is expected. Gen. Coxey Bolts. Columbus, O., Sept. 21. J. S.

We often, laug-h. at old-fashioned peo ple who keep a reg-ulax stock of rem edies, and seem able to offer a cure for almost every ill, but these same home ly medicines have often done much g-ood while waiting1 for a physician, or in case of an accident when, to wait might hare been fatal or have caused permanent injury. The follawiiir aire only a few hints whoso merits are known to the writer and may be of service in. any emer gency: For a cold, for hoarseness, or when pneumonia is threatened, take equal parts of dried hops, pennyroyal and sag-e, place in a kettle and pour about! a quart of boiling" water upon them: let these boil for a few minutes, then stop up the spout and place a cloth about the lid, opening1 in such a way that it can be broug'ht tip over the pa tient's face; let the fumes be inhaled as hot as possible. When not using1 it, it should gently simmer in the same room, and will make the atmosphere moist and grateful to tlue sore lungs. At the same time the chest and soles of the feet should be rubbed with tur pentine and sweet oil alternately. For inflamed eyes take a piece of alum and with it stir the white of an egg until it becomes a creamy con sistency, then spread between a fold of thin linen and lay upon a hand kerchief, after which bind it over the eyes. For a burn take one part fresh lara and two parts baking1 soda, mix to gether and spread upon pieces of white or cream tissue paper, lay these gently upon alTected part, and bind on with muslin strips. While waiting for the lard end soda the bum should be bathed with witch hazel. For earache or toothache put a large cup of salt into a skillet, and heat it until very hot, stirring all the time. Put it into a cloth and tie with a string1 into a loose bunch. Hold this as hot as can be borne over the ear or cheek. If covered with a thick piece of nannea the heat will be retained longer. For a bruise or sprain, bathe with hot water and afterwards bind on a cloth saturated with hot witch hazel. These remedies are so simple and harmless in their nature that tbey can be used by anyone, and are sure to help, if they do not always cure. Workman. PAPER FLOWER POTS. Taey Can Be Used to Great Advantage in the Garden. A serviceable and yet inexpensive de vice, so simple that children can make it, is the paper flower pot, especially designed for seedlings. On a piece of stiff paper draw two concentric circles of six and three inches radius respec tively and cut out a portion of the ring thus formed, about eight inches long and of the shape of the upper diagram in the illustration. Using this as a pat tern cut as many like forms from stiff manilla paper as may be desired. On MAKING PAPER FLOWER POTS. opposite margins, and aboutflve-eighths of an inch from each end, cut radially half way across the strips, as shown by the lines a b in the diagram. Now coil the strips and slip the ends together along the cut lines and the flower pot is complete, as shown down in the lower sketch. When the Feedings or cuttings have been placed in these pots, they should be plunged into sand or soil until ready to be shifted to larger pots or to be transplanted. The plant may then be readily removed without disturbing the roots, by simply tear ing oft the projecting slip s, and the paper unwrapped from the soil.

Notably Short and Effective Wed ding Ceremonies Hero and There, "Make it short." "Very welL Then you do not cars to repeat much 'of the ceremony?" '"Oh, no! I am faint now," says she. That is one experience. Oar -next was the very opposite. The young couple wanted all they could ar range for in the way of ceremony two rehearsals, one up at mother's and a final one down at the church, the floor all but chalk marked where bride and groom and each attendant was to put his or her feet, the sentences learned and repeated and ev ery motion gone through aprain and again, as though the whole matter were a bit of "linked sweetness, better enjoyed in pro portion as "long drawn out In this land of light and liberty the nup tial knot may be tied in all styles to suit the parties, from the bare form of the rural justice to the flowing robes and stately ceremony of the Episcopal ohurch. As simple as any is the formula of a cer tain western onioial of whom we have somewhere heard: Jake, du you 'low ter take Sal?" "Yer bet I du." "Sal, du you 'low ter take Jake?" "I 'low ter." "Then, in the name o' ther state o Mls soury, I pernounce you una man and woman. Amen." Though somewhat abbreviated, this service was not quite so short as that of a rather eccentric old minister in Connecti cut, who, chancing to meet a couple that had for years harafled him by seeming at any time about to put their heads into the matrimonial noose, yet never doing it, said: "Stephen and Sarah, do you two really want to be married?" "Why, yes." Then I declare you husband and wife. And away he went and entered the mar riage in the town records. But not all ceremonies are by any means bo short; for, on the contrary, we have heard of ministers with ceremonies occu pying the greater part of a half hour and covering pretty thoroughly the moral law and the history of the Jews. There is a story of a young man who seemed to know a good deal better what he was about. When the minister asked him, "Do you take this woman to bo your wedded wife?" he answered instantly, with no small degree of warmth, "See here, parson, what do you suppose we came here for, a divorce?" No more true to life was that than another case when in addressing the bride the minister asked, "Do you take this man for better or for worse?" "I can't tell until I have had him awhile," interrupted the bride. On this occasion eve think it would not have been inappropriate had the friend who presided at the piano played for a reces sional the same selection that is said to have been performed at a recent wedding in Boston. As the newly married pair retired down the aisle the organist is said to have innocently rendered "Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war!" Independent. Perfectly Safe. A rural Georgia preacher, finding the weather too warm, pulled off his coat and preached in his shirt sleeves. After the sermon a good brother, thinking an editor who was present would make a sensation of the incident, said to the parson: "I don't suppose you knew when you pulled off your coat today that one of them newspaper feiltrs was in meetin?" Yss, I did, replied the preacher. "But I had my eye oil it all the time Atlanta Constitution. It Didn't Work. Tlie beautiful young woman was floun dering about in six inches of water.

Offices Divided Among the Three Par ties, Giving but One to Straight out Democrats. 'After -working all afternoon a fusion was made between the Democrats, Populists and free silver Republicans In Topeka. It was done by giving the Republicans the big end of the deal .rvd almost leaving the Democrats out in the cold. The conference committees had work ed faithfully for three weeks without accomplishing anything. The Repub licans demanded the legislative nomi nations, the Populists wanted the same and the Democrats were unwilling to surrender all the legislative candidates. Upon this point the committees hung mtil Saturday afternoon when the Democrats gave way and a compromise was made. The Populists agreed to surrender the south representative district and the Democrats consented to give up all except one legislative candidate and minor offices. The report of the committee was sat isfactory to all but the Democrats who thought they had not been treated fair ly. Eugene Wolfe made a bitter speech denouncing the committee, llr? said that the Democrats had always surrendered everything to the Populists and that he did not believe now in making an abso lute surrender when there was an op portunity of electing some one. The report of the committee was adapted, however, and the following ticket was named: District Judge L. A. Stebbins, Pop ulist. County Attorney J. L. Ensminger, Populist. Probate Judge W. R. Hazen, silver Republican. Awarded Highest I Honors World's, Fair, f' iC7 r""? Ann -J i A t i r -v 5 J -1 J1". smT- g ""'t1 11 MOST PERFECT MADLj A pure Grape Cream of Tartar Powder.

Representative, Thirty-fifth district- Elder Pence, Populist. The Democrats will name the nomi nee for the legislature in the city dis trict. The convention in the south district was held at the fair grounds after the county conventions adjourned. It had been agreed that Wilson Keith, a sil ver Republican, should be nominated, but the Populists refused to ratify the election of Mr. Keith until it could be found whether he would bind himself to vote for Senator Peffer, if elected. The convention adjourned until next Saturday without acting, and in the meantime Mr. Keith will be asked to put himself on record. A WOULD CIRCUIT Now Provided for Theatrical Conpa nies Including Honolulu. San. Francisco, Sept. 21. Melville Marx, of the Columbia theater man agement, will be a passenger on the steamer Australia, which sails for Hon olulu tomorrow.

Be hind Mr. Marx's trip is one of the big gest theatrical ventures that has been contemplated in some years. San Fran cisco has been heretofore called the "jumping off place," for eastern at tractions which can only get away from New York in the summer months, when the theaters are closed, but now the Columbia management proposes to In clude in the western tour Honolulu and have entered into negotiations with Musgrave and Williamson of Sydney and Melbourne with a view of extend ing the bookings to Australia.

Shreve thinks that Kan sas avenue should be kept cleared on the night of the Karnival from First street to Tenth street. He says that people w ill want to dance on the street between Fifth and Tenth streets and that it will make it too crowded to shut them off at Fourth street. No cars will be allowed on Kansas avenue that night. Red Laird writes from Salt Lake: "The people of this state will need money worse than Bill Sells did the first season he had a circus out if Bryan is not lucky, but they are con fident of his strength to put a crimp in Hanna this coming fall. The Utah people's estimate of Bryan is an awful big thing. Why, you can't even sell a Republican paper on the D. R. G. out here." An error has been made in the an nouncement of the Fall Festival bene fit ball game at Athletic park. It will be Tuesday afternoon, tomorrow. A big parade, headed by Gormly's band will be given at noon. It will be most gorgeous, as all the players will parade in costume. The game will begin at 3 o'clock and will be called off at the fifth inning on account of darkness, probably. KANSAS BANKERS. Their Annual Convention to be Held in Topeka During the Fall Festi val Handsome Invitations Sent Out by Secretary. There are in round numbers 600 banking institutions in the state. The biggest convention they ever held will occur here during the Fall Festival. William Macferran, secretary of the association, recently sent out to the Kansas bankers and to other state or ganizations an envelope containing handsomely printed invitations, asso ciation by-laws and small brochure programmes for the session. The work was executed in the office of Adams Bros., and that firm has received many compliments on the designs and execu tion. The following letter from the Illinois State Bankers' association would seem to indicate that Chicago printers are not in the same class with Topeka' s. The letter is as follows: Chicago, Sept. 4, 1S96. Mr. Wm. Macferran, secretary The Kansas Bankers' Association, Topeka, Kansas: Dear Sir: I am in receipt of your in vitation to the ninth annual convention of your association, together with con stitution and by-laws and all other mat ter, all of which I have noted with in terest and must say that you have the right kind of a printer only wish we had one like him in Chicago. I admire the style and arrangement of your "Subjects for Discussion" pamphlet, which is very nicely done. With best wishes for a successful and pleasant convention, I am very truly, EDWARD TILDEN, Sec. Death of Minnie Akin Brown. Mrs. Minnie Akin Brown died at the residence of her grandfather, Mr. H. W.
