TWO CENTS. MOXDAa' EVENING. TOPEKA, KANSAS, SEPTEMBER 20, 1897. MONDAY EVENING. TWO CENTS. DEATH WHACK Given the Kansas City Livestock Exchange In' a, Decision by Judge Foster Today. ITS UNLAWFUL ACTS Sererely Denounced From the Bench by the Judge Who Speaks Harshly of All Trusts and Monopolies. Judge C. G. Foster of the United States circuit court today dealt a death blow- to the Kansas City Live Stock Ex change and he also delivered a few well directed thumps at other combinations, boards of trade and grain exchanges. The suit decided today was commenc ed a year ago by United States Attor ney W. C. Perry and Attorney General Harmon joined with him and his name appears on the bill filed In the federal court. The suit was really the' result of a quarrel among- the members of the ex change. The firm of Greer-Mills broke the rules of the exchange and was heavily fined. They refused to pay the fine and were expelled from the organization. The ostracized commission men then employed a well known firm of Kansas City lawyers, who assisted the United States district attorney in the trial. The hearing was held in June, and since that time Judge Foster has been work ing steadily on the case except when he was away on his vacation. Since his return he has devoted almost his en tire time to a study of the questions in volved. The opinion Is exhaustive and sweep ing and leaves no loop hole for the or ganization. The members of the Kan sas City Live Stock Exchange must give up their present methods of doing business. Judge Foster says in his opinion: "The object and purpose of the ex change is written across its face where all may read. It is to control and mo nopolize the entire business of buying and selling live stock at the Kansas City stock yards." The stock exchange contended that they were a concern similar to boards of trade in cities and that such organi zations are necessary to carry on the business of the country. This gives Judge Foster an opportu nity to tell what he thinks about trusts in general and grain commission firms. He says: "I may be permitted to say that the methods and aims of many of these ex changes and boards of trade are not al together beneficial to the business and commerce of the country; that they are beneficial to the members and perhaps to the locality may be admitted. It must also be admitted that a properly conducted agency or medium through which the vendor and vendee may read ily sell and buy everything that enters into commerce and trade is demanded by the business interests of the whole country, but this agency should not be permitted to tamper with or in any way impede or restrain the natural flow of the stream of industry or commerce. '"The crying complaint of today and the great menace to the welfare of the people, is the tendency of wealth to mo nopolize and control by trusts and com binations the products and industries of the country, and it must be confess ed by every thoughtful observer that many of the so-called stock and pro duce exchanges are among the most po tent instruments for the accomplish ment of these purposes by speculators and adventurers. Men who add nothing to the productive wealth of the country grow rich or poor by gambling on the wealth produced by others. Men are daily selling through these exchanges millions of bushels of corn, wheat and other produce who neither have nor ex pect to have a bushel; and others are buying millions, who neveer expect to receive a bushel. Both sides are tam pering with the normal prices fixed by the law of supply and demand, and at tempting by false and dishonest means and methods to serve their ends." While this suit is in no way connect ed with the famous Kansas City stock yards suit, which was finally submitted to Judge Foster last week, it is possible that it may affect that case. Judge Horton, who is one of the at torneys in the stock yards case, said today that Judge Foster upholds the contention made that the stock ex change is engaged in interstate com merce. "That is Just what we claim," said he. "with reference to the stock yards. We took the position that the stock yards company is engaged in interstate commerce, and Judge Foster holds in this decision today that the commission men at least are engaged in the busi ness of interstate commerce." The decision will Interest every stock shipper in Kansas. A man who ships his cattle or hogs to Kansas City must sell then through the exchange. He has no alternative. He cannot sell his stock to the consumer. The exchange regu lates the commission charges and all the charges connected with the hand ling of stock in the Kansas City mar ket. Their monopoly was absolute and the decision of Judpe Foster is a. com plete legal annihilation of the concern. NO PEACE AT BROCKTON. Strikers and Employers Confer but Fail to Agrea, Brockton, Mass., Sept. 20. The con ference between the committee of man ufacturers. Treasurer Shaw of the Chase Lasting Machine company and Secretary Williams of the Lasters' Un ion, was not concluded till after eight o'clock last night. Secretary Williams then took the propositions of the manu facturers to the meeting of the union where they were laid before the mem bers and discussed for nearly two hours. At the end of that time the sec retary said that the negotiations had ended without a settlement being reached. He admitted that it did not mean war. Presidential Appointments. Washington, Sept. 20. The president today appointed Archibald J. Simpson, of Arizona, minister to Ecuador and E G. Kennedy of South Dakota, United States marshal for South Dakota, 8,000 PENNANTS Will Decorate the Sides of Kansas Avenue Festival 'Week. L. M. Wood has been hard at work for the last week canvassing among the merchants on Kansas avenue in behalf of the decorations for the avenue. It Is estimated that this can be done for one dollar a number and this amount has been generously contributed by all the business men. One wire 11 feet from the ground and another 14 feet will be stretched on each side of Kansas avenue from Ninth to Fourth streets. From these wires will be hung flags of the three Festival colors, red, white and yellow, 15 inches wide and 30 Inches long and of the pennant style. There will be more than 8.000 of them. The wires will be stretched between the telephone and telegraph poles and this will be done next Saturday. The flags will be put on Sunday night and the first person on Kansas avenue on Mon day morning will see 8.000 flags flutter ing in the breeze. These flags are but part of the decorations that will be seen. Nearly every building will be decorated in Fall Festival and Karni val Knights colors. Every building of prominence should also float the stars and stripes. ON DISPATCHER KING Is Placed the Responsibility for the Lang Disaster. Emporia. Kan., Sept. 20. The coroner's jury sitting in the inquest on the Santa Fe wreck, in which thirteen people were killed and several Injured, today returned a verdict placing the responsibility on Dispatcher King of Topeka.

FROST IN 'IOWA. v Late Corn and Vegetables Are Injured. Marshalltown, la., Sept. 20. There was a heavy frost this morning, the first of the season. Only late corn and tender vegetables will be materially injured. COUNCIL BLUFFS EXCITED. Citizens Determined Street Car Com panies Shall Pay for Franchise. Council Bluffs. la., Sept. 20. The cit ies of western Iowa have gained some measure of fame for the manner in which they have donated valuable fran chises to corporations. Street car com panies, water and lighting companies and similar organizations of a semi public nature have had little difficulty in the past in securing vested rights in this direction. But most of these fran chises of especial value were granted a decade ago and today a large number of them are expiring. Now propositions for acquiring valuable franchises are being scanned very closely. Especially is this true of franchises that must be renewed, and which experience has dem onstrated are very valuable. A proposition of this character Is just at present agitating all Council Bluffs. The entire city has taken sides in the controversy. The trouble is over the effort of the Omaha and Council Bluffs Bridge and Railway company to secure an extension of 60 years in its franchise. Every effort is being made to defeat the renewal of the company's charter. The council seems inclined to favor the com pany, but they are carefully consider ing the situation, in view of the hostili ty of the great body of the citizens. The company does not offer a dollar inducement to the city in return for the extension of the charter. It secured its first charter without paying a dol lar into the public treasury, and desires the same favors this year, to be contin ued for 50 more years. The great body of citizens who are opposing the company insist that the city must derive some revenue from this valuable franchise before any charter for the future is granted. Those most active in the contest assert that the franchise is worth several million dol lars, and express a determination to see that the city is properly compensated before any further steps are taken. ON PUGET SOUND Will be Erected a Mammoth Steel Plant by Penneylvanians. Seattle. Sept. 20. William Price of Mc Keesport, Pa., is here representing the heavily capitalized company of Pennsyl vanians who are to erect and operate a steel plant at Port Angeles. Mr. Price states that work will be commenced within sixty days and pushed to com pletion. The prime object of the large plant which will be erected will be the manufacture of tin plate. The process will be started- in a blast furnace and ended with the shipment of high class tin plates to their destination. The tin that will be used will be imported from Tas mania and can be laid down on the sound for much less than in the eastern manufacturing towns of the United States. Washington will supply the different ores necessary to produce the pig iron. Mr. Fleharty Did It. tT5 'Wabaunsee Populist and Demo cratic conventions Saturday were the first and only ones so far to endorse Governor Leedy's north and south rail road scheme. The resolutions, which were engineered by H. B. Fleharty, the governor's executive clerk declare in favor of the construction of the road and pledge their support to the project. The resolutions also endorsed Webb McNalL Tore Down a Rural Depot. The state board of railroad commis sioners today received from A. E. Dot son of Newark township, Wilson coun ty, a long petition requesting the board to compel the Frisco railroad to re store the depot and station facilities at Brooks. Mr. Dotson alleges that the company tore down its depot at that point and removed it, together with all facilities and equipment, to Neodesha. Franklin County Resolutions. The Franklin county Populist con vention adopted resolutions condemn ing the contemplated special session of the legislature, saying in the resolu tions that in the opinion of the conven tion the idea is a bad one and would result in no good to the state. The platform suggests that the money could be expended to an excellent advantage in "assisting that grand little man. At torney General Boyle, in prosecuting the railroads and trusts in the proper courts." THE SAFFRON HUEDjSCOURGE Tightens His Grip on Edwards, ..Miss. 54 Cases of Fever in That Lit tle Town.

IRON HAND FORGOTTEN By the United States Says the London Globe. London, Sept. 20. The Globe this aft ernoon, in an editorial on the futility of arbitration with a power "which disre gards alike the legal prescriptions and or dinary courtesies of civilized nations," says: "Lord Salisbury has treated the United States with a kindness they do not de serve, always wearing the silk glove, un til America has forgotten the existence of the iron hand beneath it." In conclusion the Globe remarks: "The idea of our being afraid of a fourth rate power like the United States could only emanate from a severe attack of swelled head. America has lost all sense of proportion and has forgotten she plays only a minor role in the affairs of the world. We hope our relations with America will hereafter be distinguished by a firmer tone, as the only way to avert trouble is to make her plainly un derstand that we are determined not to be shouted out of our rights."

Young Man of Doubtful Character Locked Up by the Police. Will Lobb is a young man who left his home in Argentine to come to To peka for the Fall Festival. Being without money and without price he had to steal a ride on the cars. He arrived in Topeka safely but was placed under arrest on his arrival In police court the young man said that he had come to Topeka to get work. His aunt was present, and told the po lice judge before court time that the nephew fame to see the Fall Festival. Chief Stt-ele said in court: "This fel low is a rounder. He was here a few years ago and spent all his time around Smoky Row. It is just this kind of fellows we want to be rid of on Festi val week. They come here to mix in the crowds and rob people." Lobb protested that b was simply In Topeka to get work. He said: "I came up from Lawrence on a freight on the Union Pacific and got here at four min utes after nine o'clock at night."

Discharged Employe of the In sane Asylum is Being Watched. The officers and Inmates of the insane asylum are in a state of terror over the actions of J. J. Allen. A special watch Is being kept at night to prevent him from setting fire to the buildings. Allen was elected as hostler upon the recom mendation of Frank Shane of Jefferson country. Allen wetn to work at the asy lum about two weeks ago and had work ed but a short time when he was notified that his services would no longer be need ed and the place was given to a man by the name of Shanks, who was appointed upon the recommendation of P. H. Dolan of Saline county. Last week Allen made public a letter denouncing the officers and employes of the asylum and charg ing them with running several "joints." Allen left on Wednesday and the letter was published on Saturday. Friday night and morning Allen was seen hanging around the stables and was ordered off the place. The nightwatch saw him at about 3 o'clock in the morning and the dairyman saw him when he went to work at 4 in the morning and the hostler also saw him about 6. The hostler got word to take the buggy to the office at about 9 o'clock for the superintendent to drive to town. The hostler had driven but a short distance from the barn when one of the wheels came off the buggy. He was not going very fast and what might have been a serious accident was avert ed. The buggy was examined and it was found that the burrs had been removed from two of the wheels. The horse was unhitched and a two-seated carriage was brought out, but it was found that it was also minus the burrs. The missing burrs could not be found anywhere and the cause was laid to Allen. Friday night Allen was again seen hanging around and it was reported to the superintendent that he had threatened to burn the barn or some of the buildings. An extra watchman has been on duty patrolling the vicinity of the stables. There are five regular nightwatches kept on duty during the night and with the extra it is thought that if Allen attempts any out rage he will be apprehended in time to prevent any damage being done. At pres ent the, residents at the asylum are in constant fear that they will wake up some night and see flames shooting from some part of the buildings. BEHEADED.

GET OUT. Debs Tells the Anarchists to Leave the Social Democracy. Those at Chicago Who Whoop ed Around About DAGGERS AND TORCHES Says He Favors Only a Peacea ble Plan of Action And Tells Them That if They Have Other Yiews They Can't Leave the Organi zation Too Quick. Chicago, Sept. 20. Eugene V. Debs attended a meeting of branch No. 1 of the Social Democracy at Journal hall last evening and lectured its members soundly on the incendiary speeches of the preceding Sunday. Mr. Debs told them in plain language he did not favor the use of the dagger or the torch. He said he did not advocate arson and assassination. He repudiated the talk of revolution. He declared that vio lence and bloodshed had no part in the plans of Social Democracy. He said the hope of Social Democracy lay in peaceful methods, and he pointed to the ballot as the remedy for the evils com plained of. He told the anarchistic element in plain terms that it would better withdraw from the organization. The hall was crowded and Mr. Debs was frequently interrupted with ques tions. One questioner, who asked if Social Democracy was not virtually anarchy seemed to be hostile, but as a rule the meeting seemed to be in sym pathy with Mr. Debs, applauding his repudiation of violence and laughing at the hostile questioner. Several po lice officers were present in citizens clothes, but there was no excuse for their interference. "I want it plainly understood," said Mr. Debs after the meeting, "that we repudiate all such sentiments as were expressed both in speech and in resolu tion at the meetings last Sunday. We will give the men who advocate the gun and the torch to understand that when they talk that way they go outside the purposes and aims of the Social De mocracy. They will be called down in no uncertain way. We will not allow that sort of impression of our organi zation to go forth without a protest. Nothing is further from our desires. "Why, how can anyone imagine that we would stand for murder and arson, when those are the very things we are protesting against? There is no doubt that the killing of the men at Hazleton was murder, but we are not going to commit murder in return. Such talk is diametrically opposed to our prin ciples. I for one will not tolerate it, and the men who have placed the So cial Democracy in such a false position will have to answer for it. We repu diate the whole affair. "I understand that the meeting of branch No. 1 was moderate in tone and that the resolutions had nothing ob jectionable in them, but the resolutions of branch No. 2 were of an incendiary nature. "Such men as Murphy, Lloyd, Rich ardson and others, who pretend to ac cept the propaganda of the co-operative commonwealth and then preach re prisals by torch or gun for the slaying of workmen, must cease such teachings or get out of the organization. It will not be tolerated. The Social Democ racy is not organized for any such pur pose. "The organization believes there are many wrongs done in the name of the law, but they cannot be corrected by blood. Our aim is to educate, to di rect the people's thoughts In the right way, so that they can mend the defects in the laws in a legitimate manner, by the intelligent use of the ballot. "The slaughter of the miners in Pennsylvania cannot be condemned too strongly, but let us seek redress in a lawful way. As a body we will do all in our power to bring the sheriff and his hirelings to justice." Debs' pacific mood has had its efTect upon his followers. The white flag is afloat and "the red rag of anarchy" has been put away in a locker. Fitzgerald Murphy, president of branch No. 1, Social Democracy, said: "I am not an anarchist. Anarchy is a visionary impossibility. I believe in law and order. I am a student of law now. My utterances of last Sunday were those of an individual. I was la boring under great mental excitement when I talked as I did. I realize now that I made a mistake and I would be the first man to try to prevent any overt act against the law." This law-abiding student of the law, thus repentant, was one of the fiery speakers of last Sunday. He sounded the tocsin, "Get a gun," and advised "kill twenty millionaires." Murphy is now 28 years old, born In County Kerry, Ireland. He came td America in 1881, as a protege of John Boyle O'Reilly, he claims. He has since been printer, reporter and playwright. The "gold bug" press, he says, killed his play, "The Silver Lining," in this city. "For a year," he said. "I have been engaged in politics; worked at the last spring campaign; expected to get something out of the city administra tion, but haven't." T. P. Quinn, the torchbearer of the new conflagration, is supposed to be an insurance solicitor; possibly there is method in his madness. He is not named in the city directory. In social istic circles he first made his appear ance here in 1893 at a meeting of the unemployed at Aurora Turner Hall. He made a red-hot talk, saying: "You unemployed see the stores and warehouses full of clothes and food and you need them. Why don't you go and take them?" Then he gave an account of himself as a leader of the steve dores' strike in New York and praised the Mollie Maguires- of Pennsylvania. In 1894 he was prominent in the Peo ple's Party in the Sixteenth ward, and last year was a Bryan and free silver curbstone orator of the Sixteenth ward. Elmer su. Cook, another one of last Sunday's torchlight procession, is said to be a square and honest man. a ma chinist, without a residence in Chicago, but at one time a foreman in the Illinois Central shops. A. E. Gage, "the old soldier," who said he had faced "the business end of a gun" for four years and was ready to do it again "for the people." is secretary of branch No. 1 Social Democracy, and is without a registered habitation. It' is claimed he is an old soldier and draws a pension. Leroy Al. Goodwin is one of the na tional officers of the Social Democracy. He was one of the directors of the American Railway Union during the great strike of 1894. Goodwin was formerly a railroad man and claims to have been "blacklisted" since 1894. ALL CALL IT MURDER Organization at Chicago to Prosecute Sheriff Martin. Chicago, Sept 20. There is a move ment on foot in Chicago to determine whether Sheriff Martin and his deputies can be prosecuted for the shooting of striking miners at Hazleton, Pa. The plan is to create a central committee, made up of sub-committees from the Lithuanians. Poles, Bohemians and certain labor unions, the membership of which is composed of these classes; then collect a fund and employ lawyers to take charge of and push the case. The Lithuanians met at Church hall. Thirty-third street and Auburn avenue. Speeches were made and resolutions adopted condemning the action of Sher iff Martin and his men. Every speaker urged that whatever is attempted towards redress for the alleged wrong should be within the limits of the law. The resolutions treated the affair at Hazleton as a murder. HELD UP BY TRAMPS. They Stop a Cattle Train and Rob the Shippers. Minneapolis, Sept. 20. Three tramp3 held up a Great Northern cattle train at daylight this morning at Smith Lake, Minn. They made their way to the ca boose, where they robbed several cattle men. Two of the robbers succeeded in jumping from the train, while the third was cornered and arrested. He gave his name as Fisher. ARMOR PLATE FOR $100. J. H. Carpenter is Preparing to Dem onstrate the Genuineness of His Offer. Reading, Pa., Sept. 20. Several gov ernment officials were in the city last week, in consultation with J. H. Car penter, the steel projectile manufactur er, whose proposition to make armor plate for $100 a ton is now before the armor board. By his new methods he claims to have eliminated a serious difficulty which all have to contend with, that is the acid reactions in the molten metal, which have prevented steel from being used with more confi dence and saving in enormous wastage of castings, which could not be used, because they were unsound and full of blow holes. A plant is now being erected at Cramp Son's ship yards under Mr. Carpenter's supervision, which will soon be ready for the making of cast ings and the carrying on of any fur their experimental work, which he may desire to enter into. The present method of making steel armor plate is by what is known as the open hearth process and it takes from eight to ten hours to convert iro mixed with steel scraps into steel, while by the new process the same amount of steel is made in less than an hour and without the difficulties of casting incident to the open hearth method. EQUESTRIAN DIVISION Of the Floral Parade to b9 Much Larg er Than Last Tear. The marshal and aides of the bicycle division of the Floral parade today secured pledges from the majority of the bicycle dealers in this city to place floats in the parade.

Dallas, marshal of the division, says it will be larger than the division in the parade of last year.

When the coming stars in the profes sion theatrical ended their labors about 10 o'clock and descended to the first floor, they found that they were locked in the Library building. The two doors; were tried, but both found locked, and some of the young ladies, forgetting for the moment that there were windo w in the building, became hysterical. They were soon consoled by the young men in the cast calling attention to the stained glass window effects, and the easy method of escape the same afford ed. One of the hall windows wan o;wnea and several of the young men made their exit and arranged themselves on the outside in readiness to catch the young ladies when they jumped, while the remainder remained within and "boosted" the young ladies up to the window. It took about ten minutes and a whole lot of suppressed screams and giggling for everybody to get out. ON CHICKAMAUUA FIELD. Places Selected for Two Illinois Mon uments to be Erected. New York, Sept. 20. A special to the Tribune says: Chattanooga, Tenn., Sept. 19.--Gen.H. V. Boynton, president of the. Chicka-mauga-Chattanooga park commission, has arrived here and announced that the state of Illinois would begin at once the erection of two more handsome monuments, to cost $15,000 eaih. One of these will be on Orchard Knob. where the large body of Illinois soldier-s fought on the first day's battle on M.ssionary Ridge. The other will be just north of Braggs' headquarters on Missionary Ridge. The Illinois park commission will meet on September 25 at Springfield and let the contract for the monu ments. General Boynton aluo says the ten monuments erected by Illinois on the Trueblood place, are now In posi tion. The 28th and 14th monuments of Pennsylvania on Lookout Motntaln are nearly finished and work has been be gun on the sixth Illinois monament on the Hooker battlefield. The Georgia monument which is being built at a cost of $20,000 Is nearing completion. CUDAHY NOT IN IT. Chicago Capitalist Eenies the Story That He Will Start a Sugar Factory. Chicago, Sept. 20. The rumor that John Cudahy, the well known packer and board of trade man, was about to embark In the beet sugar industry at Los Angeles, was denied tods' y by Mr. Cudahy. He said: "Aly brother, Mi chael Cudahy, owns several thousand acres of land near Los Angeles and may start a beet sugar plantation there at some future day. But I have no considerable real estate interests in that region. My brother is now in New York. He has no intention of doing anything in the beet sugar industry line at pres ent." Wellington Eauk Paying Out Washington, Sept. 20. The comptroller, of the currency has declared dividends in favor of the creditors of insolvent na tional banks as follows: 20 per cent, the First National bank of Wellington, Kan.; 6 per cent, the Merchants' National bank of Seattle, Wash.; 18 per cent, the First National bank of Red field, S.

The Salvation Army hallelujah wedding takes place this evening at Hamilton hall. The entire receipts will be given direct to the Salvation Army hospital fund. At the West End Gun club shoot Satur day the first event was won by H. S. Montgomery. His score on 20 targets was 19, Cartlidge 15, Elliott 15 and Clark 17. In the second shoot of 25 targets El liott and Montgomery tied, their score being 24, and Cartlidge 22. Clark 23, Ab bott 16 and Snyder 14. Chas. Murphy, who says he is a spike, maker, and Frank Braden, who clai.ns to be a driller, are being held at police sta tion as vagrants. It is thought that they answer descriptions of men wanted else where. If they don't, they will be either sent away from the city for Fall Festival week or fined enough to keep them Indoors at that time. They do not look like workingmen.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 20, 1S97. n Dawson Celebrates the Annl- versary of Gold Discovery At a Grand Ball Given in Louse town Addition. JOAQUIN MILLER GOES Dances With a Hungry Look ing Girl From Portland, Who Hires Out to Dance at $20 a Night. New York, Sept. 20. Joaquin Miller writes to the Journal from Dawson City as follows: Dawson City, Aug. 17. Via San Fran cisco Sept. 20. Yesterday was the anni versary of the discovery of this bonanza. The story told a San Francisco lias not only been repeated.butdupl.cated.and this Is going to last, even though nothing new Is discovered; but there will be discov eries, and great ones. It is in the air. You are conscious all the time of a strong- undercurrent that flows from somewhere straight and steadily, yet you can't quite lay hands on the date and place and name as yet, but from what we have seen the last few hours on this deep, level and muddy' gulch, the last place on earth that I. an old miner of 40 years' experience and adventure, would look for gold, it seems evident that it will take at least ten years to work out these mines. So, you see, this new city will continue to build and build for years. Yesterday I went to the new Catholic hospital the Sisters' hospital of St. Ann's It is called and had a long talk with the the wise and serene little Father Inago. He is building a spacious and substantial structure hospital, residence and church the bt-st building in Dawson as yet. He is at the extreme down the river end of two miles of stumps, mud, malaria, ty phoid fever, dogs, squaws and sawlogs, lumber barges and boats of every shape, color and kind. From the good father's front window you can see little farms. little fields. with a tent in the mlSdle of a little clearing: the brush heaps blazing and the log heaps smoking, and. as I said before, this place is not so terribly cold, and men can come and will make the ground bring forth Its yield all the way up and down the great Yukon. Last night a grand ball was given In commemoration of the discovery of geld here. It was given at Lousetown. This is at the extreme up-the-rtver end of Dawson. I atended the ball with Cap tain Hansen, the head of the Alaskan company. (A man must see what is going on.) Alex McDonald, the John ilackay of Klondike, danced with a beau tiful Alaska squaw, who had a small gold ring in her nose and several rings in her ears. I should say she had a dozen gold rings in each ear. She is a great belle here. I danced or rather gobbled about with a slim and hungry looking girl from Portland, who maintains, she says, her mother and helps her sister at school. "And how do you make your money?" "I hire out to dance. I get $20 tonight. I get MO a week and a quarter for every dollar the boys spend with me at the bar. Sometimes I make more than I get a night. No, I don't drink whisky; only berry juice. I am off tonight because their business got so big they had to tear down their house and fix it bigger. They start in fresh tomorrow night, and I ex pect to do a right smart business." A scribe here must be one of the boys If he wants to know things. I had to pull this up, this story of hers, in pieces, interrupted by "Ail hands forward," "Swing to the bar," etc. These dance women are not necessarily bad. I know, or. at least. I am told by a man who has been here long enough to know, one place where a mother and daughter dance the long night through. They came here to make money and are doing it. They each have a 'mining claim. Women take up claims here the same as men, my inform ant says, and employ several men to dig at $15 a day each, while they dance. Such boundless good nature as at this Lousetown dance I never saw, and I have been in all the new mining camps that have been built within the last many, many years. I dined with the collector of customs yesterday and he said that the good order here is due in part to the vigilance of the public officers and the prompt enforce ment of the Canadian laws, but mostly to the high class of people who came here from the states. They have a calaboose here, but It has never been used. There has not thus far been a single disturb ance. This morning about 4 o'clock we were delighted with the shrill call of a com ing steamer. We all sprang from our beds and the thousands of dogs stood on the high river bank 'and simply made Rome howl. Men shouted and swung their hats. The congestion was broken. The question of famine or no famine was settled. Here were 400 tons of food and supplies, and only 30 men coming in with them. Another steamer was reported to be only 18 hours behind, so who cares to come can come. Yet the honest farmer, as a rule, will get more money, and with less work, by sticking to his farm than by coming hre. So will almost anyone who Is established in some good pursuit at home. Let all remember that we hear only -of the hundred fortunate miners. while noth ing at all Is said of the thousand and one failures. Talking with a man on a hill side, working all alone, we find that he is working only for wages. He said many more were earning less than the standard $15 per day above and below him on the hillside. Eut to go on with the fortunate ones. An agent of the Rothschilds told me that he offered one million and a quarter for 10 claims together, but did not get them. I think he Is going out without making any purchases. The most of the ten claims have not had a pick in them as yet. and so, as far as I can see, they look a marsh, with mud and moss. You sink at least six Inches In the soft and sloppy marsh as you walk over It. This marsh is a muck, as you can see by claims that are partly opened up, and be law this muck of three or four feet Is "BALANCE, ALL the frozen ground, five or ten feet in thickness, in which the gold is found. The prices asked for claims are abso lutely steep. A lawyer from Juneau of fered $100,000 for a claim yesterday, but he was laughed at by the owner, who sunp ly camps on his claim and does Just enough work to, hold It. He Is waiting to get a quarter of a million for It, he says. Captain John Healy, an old news paper man of Montana, tells me he will get It easily before the year Is over. This Healy Is one of the discoverers of the first Idaho mine, where I knew him and always relied on his good sense and veracity. He is vice president of the North American Trading and Transporta tion company. Talking over old times In Idaho, he told me that neither Montana nor Idaho ever showed anything like the gold In sight in the Klondike mines. He said: "There will be more gold taken out of this Yukon country than has ever been taken out of all the states together. Of course, we all agree that they are the richest mines in the world, and that they are practically exhaustless.but you ought to advise men to keep away if they are not miners. It Is to our interest to have a great rush this way, but I don't want weak men of any sort here. This is no place for a man who knows nothing about mining. Only miners, and sound.' good miners at that, should come to the Klon dike." The coming In of the steamer from be low stopped our going out over the hills to the mines last evening. We will travel by moonlight, as the day is too hot. Just think of suffering from heat here, at the edge of the Arctic circle! KEENE AFRAID. s Changes His Theatrical Route on Account of Yellow Fever. Chicago, Sept. 20. The yellow fever i in Louisiana ana Mississippi la upset j ting the plans of theatrical companies heading southward. The south promis ed to be so profitable for the play-act-!

SICK AND PKXX1LESS. A Family Spends Three Days and Nights in the Bock Island Depot. Samuel Flagelan, a brakeman, who was racked with pain and weakened by con sumption, his frail wife and two little children came to Topeka on their way to Denver, and being without money, friends or food spent three days and two nights in the Rock Island depot. The man was 35 years of age and has been a brakeman for the Hannibal St. Joseph railroad, running between Brookfield and Kansas City. He lived at Argentine and had a happy home. A sickness came upon him which resisted treatment and he grad ually grew worse until tuberculosis had an iron grip on his emaciated body. Un able to work he soon lost his residence and in a last vain hope to prolong Ufa started for Denver, where he had friends, thinking that the Colorado air would be beneficial. Securing transportation as far as Topeka, he thought to find a friend who used to live here and to rest a day or two and then secure help to continue the Journey. The first night was spent In the depot. SEW MEDICALJISCOTEItY. A Positive Cure for Dyspepsia This may read as though we were putting- it a little strong because it is generally thought by the majority of people that Dyspepsia in its chronic form is incurable, or practically so. But we have long since shown that Dyspep sia is curable, nor is it such a difficult matter as at first appears. The trouble with Dyspeptics is that they are continually dieting-, starving themselves, or going to opposite ex tremes or else deluging the already overburdened stomach with "bitters," "after dinner pills," etc., which invari ably increase the difficulty even If in some cases they do give a slight tem porary relief. Such treatment of the stomach simply makes matters worse. What the stomach wants is rest. Now how can the stomach become rested, recuperated and at the same time the body nourished and sustained? This is the great secret and this is nlso the secret of the uniform success of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. This is a comparatively new remedy, but its suc cess and popularity leaves no doubt as to its merits. The Tablets will digest the food any way, regardless of condition of stom ach. The sufferer from Dyspepsia accord ing to directions is to eat an abundance or good, wholesome food and use the tablets before and after each meal and the result will be that the food will be digested, no matter how bad your dys pepsia may be, because as before stat ed, the tablets will digest the food even if the stomach is wholly Inactive. To il lustrate our meaning plainly, if you take l.SOO grains of meat, egg's or ordi nary food and place it In a temperature of 9S degrees, and put with It one of Stuart's Dyspepsia. Tablets it Will d g-est the meat or eggs almost as perfectly as if the meat waa enclosed within the stomach. The stomach may be ever so weak yet these tablets will perform the work of digestion and the body and brain will be properly nourished and at the same time a radical, lasting cure of dyspepsia will be made because the much abused stomach will be given, to some extent, a much needed rest. Your druggist will tell you that of the many remedies ad vertised to cure dyspepsia none of them has given so complete and general sat isfaction as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tables and not least in importance in these hard times is the fact that they are al?o the cheapest and give the most good for the least money. A little book on cause and cure of stomach troubles sent free by address ing Stuart Co., Maranail, Mich. THE SUN JTEVER SETS ON UNCLE SAM. The Britons proudly boast that the sun never sets on the queen's dominions, as if they were special subjects of solar favoritism. But It Is equally true that there is always sunshine on some part of Uncle Sam's great possessions. When it is six p. m. on Artoo's Inland, Alaska, it is 9:36 a. m. of the day following at Eastport, Maine. If we locate the center of the United States, calculating it as midway between longitude 67 of Eastportand longitude 193 of Attoo's Island, it will be found on the 12ttLh degree of longitude, about 2o0 miles west of San Fr&zuasco, In the Paci fic ocean. The next day a policeman Investigated the case. Samuel Flagelan told him that he had a friend in Topeka but was un able to get out of the depot, he was so weak. The officer tried to find the man whom the sick man named, but was un able to do so. Meantime Police Matron Thorpe was notified and she went to see the family. When she arrived Samuel Flagelan was sitting at the entrance to the depot, where he had coughed so constantly that he was unable to speak. He was so sick that he wept as Mrs. Thorpe talked with him." Food was procured. Physicians said that the man would undoubtedly die with in a few days. Poor Commissioner Hale was called upon for help and the family were sent on west on the night train. The man was not fit to travel, but Jn this day of great Christian organizations and vast charitable enterprises, no way has yet been found to take care of sick wanderers that are unloaded from one community to another, each seeking to shove the burden onto another. There ought to be some law covering these cases. Christianity has so far shown Its total Inability to reach them or to stop this shipping of the sick, aged and Imbecile from one community to another. Instead of discussing whether the prayer meeting is "Ineffective" or not, why wouldn't It be a humane idea to call a convention of church members to discuss what shall be done to stop this outrage and disgrace to Christian civilization? Of course To peka can't undertake to care for all the "miserables" sent to her. She would soon become a "soft mark" for every villain ous commissioner and police chief in the United States; but some way should be found to make each community take care of Its own sick and decrepit. MEXICO'S SHAME. Government is Pushing the Inquiry Into the Recent Lynching. City of Mexico, Sept. 30 Edurado Velasquez, chief of police; Lieutenant Cabrera, assistant chief of detectives, and Commandant Maure Sanchez, have been arrested and taken to prison and placed in solitary confinement, by order of the fifth criminal Judge, to whom had also been turned over 21 prisoners, arrested for entering the municipal building on the night of the recent lynching. Public opinion is behind the government and the investigation will be pushed rapidly. The officials arrest ed were accompanied to the prison by the new chief of police, who takes charge of his department in stirring times. Te deums In thanksgiving for the es cape of President Diaz were sung In all Catholic churches and cathedrals of the city by order of Archbishop Arlacon. The government, by this course, has not prejudiced the case, but has taken precautions demanded by popular sent iment, which, fed by rumors, has be come excessively Irritated, for the pub lic fail to understand how a prisoner of so great importance should be left In charge of unarmed officials. High offi cials of the federal government have to some extent shared the popular feeling and it is reported that at the regular cabinet meeting Friday several minis ters urged that the conduct of the po lice be thoroughly investigated. A communication was accordingly sent to Governor Rebollar of the federal dis trict for transmission to the Inspector general In which the latter was inform ed that he must give up his office im mediately. He is censured for not hav ing taken proper precautions in guard ing the prisoner. If the police authorities are proven criminally negligent in guarding the prisoner, they will undoubtedly be se verely punished, and whoever took part in killing the prisoner will be held for murder, even If they were merely pas sively acting as investigators of the crime. Popular rumors ascribing a part in this affair to the members of the po lice force are based on mere suspicion, and it is deemed unjust, pending judic ial Inquiry.to maintain this view. There was gross carelessness with out doubt. More than that is far from demonstra ttd. But the government is determined to fhow the world that lynching has not been naturalized here. Com to tha Wedding. Ensign Hawk of the Salvation Army is urgent in his invitation to the people to come to the hallelujah wedding at Hamilton hall next Monday night. An admission of 10 cents will be charged and the money taken In will be used in placlrg more beds in the Palvation Ar my hospital. While the army was hold ing a meeting on the street last night Ensign Hawk said: "We want you to come to the wedding and see how the Army Joins people." The rank and file cried "Amen" and the prospective bridegroom looked rather ill at ease with so many crowded around him. The Ensign spoke further about the wedding and at one point was inter rupted by the yourg men In the Army crying "Hallelujah." The Ensign ex plained their enthusiasm by saying that none of them was married.

Wheat Dealers, Millers and Banks of Manitoba Sa d to Have Combined. Montreal.Sept.' 20. A "Winnipeg dispatch says that the grain dealers there have de cided to fix prices each day, which shall remain in force during the day, IrrespecU lve of any changes in the Chicago mar kets. This course has been rendered necessary by the fact that the telegraph offices are unable to handle message sent to the buyers, who are scattered all over the country, in time to be of any use. The other day, when the Chicago prices changed very rapidly no less than 700 messages were sent, and too long a time elapsed before they were forwarded to be of any service to the buyers. It Is stated that the grain dealers of Manitoba have formed a combine by which the dealers, millers and grain syn dicates will keep down the price of wheat. It Is also asserted that the banks have joined in and agreed not to assist any buyer who does not Join the syndicate. HANK SUSPENDS. First National of Benton HarborFails to Open its Doors. Benton Harber, Mich., Sept. 20. The First National bank of this city did not open for business Saturday, and Bank Examiner George B. Caldwell of De troit is in charge. About $90,000 is due depositors, and It is generally believed that 75 per cent will be about as much as will be real ized. The suspension is not wholly a sur prise. Deposits have decreased about $50,000 the past three months. The bank's capi tal stock was $50,000, with surplus of J40.000. James Bailey, cashier, makes no statement.excepting that in his opin ion depositors will be paid in full. There is a crowd of anxious deposit ors about the door. They attribute the bank embarrassment chiefly to bad loans. Bank Examiner Caldwell says the failure was due to the speculations of Cashier James Bailey, "whose unwise investments and dangerous speculative tendencies led to his removal last June." The bank Is also burdened with a large amount of real estate, taken as security, which is not available for paying depositors. A thorough investigation will be made. "GENERAL" COXKY ANGRY. Advocates Killing Off All of tha Dem ocrat c. Editors Leipsic, O., Sept. 20. J. S. Coxey of Massillon, was In the city this morning trying to straighten the affairs of the Populist party, the disarrangement be ing caused by the article thai appeared a few days ago concerning the promise of J. H. Dazey to sell out the party to Hanna Co. The reporter had an Interview with Mr. Coxey and he branded the whole effair as a lie. And upon being informed that the contract signed by J. H. Dazey, together with the Hanna agent and witnesses, could be produced, the general became ve hement in his language and talk con cerning newspaper men. His exact words concerning editors were: "Men that publish such things ought to be shot. A shotgun should be used and blow the heads off of the I'll fix some of them myself that way if they don't let me alone," and a lot more of such talk too rank to appear in the columns of any paper.. He denied in stringent language the entire newspaper talk connecting him in any way with the Kanna organiza tion.

CASTOR I A For Infants and Children. timi it n Bgaaton SI A FLEET OF JIRSHIPS. Aerial Navigation Company Files a Charter. First Yessel to Be Launched Next Mouth. IS MADE OF ALUMINUM Inventor Has Spent 18 Years in Perfecting It. Weighs 1,500 Pounds and Will Carry 4,000. New Tork, Sept. 20. The Aerial Nav igation company, organized for the manufacture of flying machines, has filed articles of incorporation In the Hudson county (N. J.) clerk's office.The machines are the inventions of Charles A. Kuenzel of No. 200 Eleventh street, Hoboken, who holds ail but three of the 3,000 shares into which the capital stock of the company ($300,000) is divided. Wm. H. Graffmeyer and John Skelly hold the remainder of the stock. The office of the company is at the printing office of Mr. Graffmeyer, No. 260 Ninth street, Hoboken. When the inventor was seen at his home he was loth to disciiss the mat ter of his achievements in aerial navi gation. "Wait until we are ready to give our perfected mechanism a public trial," he said. "Then the facts will speak for themselves. I have worked on this theo ry of a practical air ship for almost 18 years. "Five years ago In one of the publio parks of Philadelphia I tried a working model. It waa not large enough to sat isfy me as a 'trial horse,' so I have had a larger one made one that can carry five men, provisions, etc. Next month it will be tried from the Guttenberg race track. The parts have been con structed in two different machine shops in widely separated localities In order to preserve the necessary secrecy. All I care to say now is that the balloon is 135 feet long and 40 feet in diameter, with a capacity of 250,000 cub', feet of gas. The ship is 60 feet lonfe and 20 feet in diameter. The engine and all the running parts, steering gear, etc., are made of aluminum. One gallon of petroleum a day will suffice to run the engine, and about 40 gallons can be car ried enough to last for a month with out replenishing the fuel. "Unlike Prof. Andree, we are able to renew our supply of gas as fast as it leaks and the balloon loses its proper buoyancy. The entire weight of the whole affair will not exceed 1,500 pounds The balloon proper cost $9,000 to con struct. It will support 4.000 pounds be sides the weight of the craft. "Last spring I received a letter from the Spanish war department, which was forwarded to me in Chicago from Mad rid, and others have made propositions to us. But we are not boastful, and prefer to wait until a fair public test shall have been made before claiming to have fully solved the great problem of aerial navigation. t The filing of in corporation papers was only a necessa ry legal preliminary." Kuenzel Is a frank, blue eyed Ger man, only 37 years old, but Is a mem ber of the American Association of En gineers, a machinist of 18 years' exper ience, and the holder of more than a dozen American and foTeign patents. He has patented a beer filter for brew eries, a rapid water filter, an ice-making machine, a furnace which is heated by chemical action, several improve ments in deep sea fishing- apparatus and a butcher's meat chopping machine. He received a medal at the last Paris exposition and also a diploma for his ingenuity. He has worked at his trade of machinist and boiler designer in Philadelphia and this city. His present factory is at Union Hill, N. J., If all goes well the Aerial Navigation compa ny will make a strong effort to get the $100,000 mentioned in the resolution of fered by Senator Lodge in congress last year for the construction of an air ship up to certain specifications of weignt, carrying capacity, speed, etc., for war purposes. In appearance Kuenzel's Invention is an elliptical-shaped balloon, supporting by guys a boat shaped vehicle equipped with a complicated looking gas ergine. A pair of wings operating in eccentric circles, so arranged as to present little or no resistance to the upward motion of the air ship, furnish motive power, while a screw serves as a rudder. The engine is of 25 horse power, sufficient to enable the navigator to make headway against most ordinary adverse air cur rents. Kuenzel is an experienced aeronaut, having served In the German army corps which was detailed to make ex periments with balloons for war pur poses in 1S81-83, and he has made many ascensions in this country with the late Prof. Williams. ELECTRIC M BBLE B.KST. J. J. Astor and Dr. Webb Have Money in Ir-s ng Scheme. New Tork, Sept. 20. Another commer cial bubble has burst, in which were In terested such prominent capitalists as John Jacob Astor and Dr. W. Seward Webb. Incidentally, a system of electri cal propulsion, which it was thought would revolutionize marine engineering, has failed to prove a success. This enterprise, in which Vanderbilt and Astor money was Invested, was the Samuels Dynamic Accumulator Com pany. with offices and workshops here. The company manufactured a storaga battery cell by Zack Samuels. This cell was expected to solve the problem of electrical traction both on sea and land, because It was thought It could do twice the work of any other battery, while weighing and costing only one-fourth as much. The Samuels cell was not a lead sulphuric acid, but a composite cell, the composition of which was Mr. Samuels' secret. The first test was made on Mr.. Aster's small yacht. Progress. Dr. Webb had a buffet car equipped with 90 cells, to sup ply incandescent lights for the round trip, and arranged to have his, car Klsmere and his locomotive Nehasene lighted by the same system. Then came the experiments. They were not successful. The system did not prove effective on a large scale. The result was that Dr. Webb and Mr. Astor have withdrawn from the company. Atchison Dfeati Laavaawor'h. Atchison, Sept. 20. Atchison defeated the Rothschilds of Leavenworth yester day by a score of 10 to 1. Eylar and Brown formed the battery for AtchiFon and Mf -Donald and Lyons for the Rothschilds. UNDER A REBEL FLAG. A Southern Woman Who Has Not Been Down Town Sinco tha War. Charleston, Sept. 20. There Is an old woman in Charleston who has not been on the Battery since the war and has not been on King street in fifteen years. This may seem like a fairy tale to many, but it is a true statement. She is not a cripple, either, but is as well and strong as a wo man could expect to be who had reached the age of 74 years. She lives in the western part of the city, within a few squares of King street and near the Rut ledge avenue, street car line. Another remarkable thing about this old lady is t'tat she has never seen th electric cars and has no desire to sea one, so she says. She was asked by a friend of hers the other day to join her in a trolley ride, but she declined with thanks, saying she did not care to ride on anything that was propelled by an un seen power. "Law, me," said she, when asked to take a trolley rlde,"do you think I'd get on one of those cars that run by electricity? I could not be induced to take one of those electric rides. You are fooling with something you can't see." As before stated, the old lady has not been on the battery since before the war, notwithstanding repeated efforts have been made by friends and relatives to get her to visit this beautiful place; all ap peals fell on deaf ears.

DEFENSE OF THE BEAR. Dr. Croffut Protests Against Dimin ishing the Number in Yellowstone. Washington, D. C, Sept. 20. Dr. W. A. Croffut, who has just returned from a trip to the Tellowstone park, has entered a protest to the Interior department against the suggestion of Superintendent Young that the black bear In the park be diminished In number by being cap tured and given to museums. Dr. Crof fut says. "A good many will think Colonel Young's report premature. But black bear are by no means numerous in the park. One may wander all over it for a fortnight and not see a bear. In the Immediate vicinity of the hotels and per manent camps these half tame wild beasts make frequent appearances, and their playful antics and gambols are the de light of tourists. If a vote were taken of those most interested it would certain, ly be in favor of Increasing, rather than diminishing, their number. Unless their cubs are Injured they will run from any body who faces them, and women, and even children, have been known to cap ture a cub and carry It away from Its mother without serious resistance. An old trapper told me he had never known a bear In the park to Injure a human be. ing unless first wounded by him. A black bear will run from any kind of dog, and is just about as harmless aa a cow. The bear In the Yellowstone rivals the geysers and the canyons as entertainment for the tourist, and I would as soon think of fill ing up Morning Glory spring as allowing these good natured and playful creatures to be carried away." RABBITS EAT THE CROPS. New York Farmers Want Law Passed for Their Extermination. Blnghampton, N. Y Sept. 20. A com mittee of farmers called on Assemblyman Tupper on Saturday and requested that he introduce a bill in the next legislature for the extermination of rabbits, which are doing hundreds of dollars' worth of damage to the crops. One of the farmers in presenting the case said: "I have had two acres of cabbage en. tirely eaten up by these pests, and as tha game laws prevent my killing them, what am I to do?" "Do as I did." answered another. "I just squirted a certain kind of liquid over a lot of my cabbage plants, and in the morning I counted 228 rabbits dead." Assemblyman Tupper thought that they had a right to protect their property from rabbits or any other pests without changing the law. This didn't satisfy them, however, and before the committee left they exacted a promise from Mr. Tup. per that he would Introduce Just such a bill as they wanted in case he was again sent to trie assembly. It is a fact that the number of rabbits Is Increasing at a great rate, and unless something Is done to kill them off they will do any amount of damage to the crops. A HANNA PAPER. Suddenly Changes Froct and Warns All Honest Voters. Toledo, O., Sept. 20. The Toledo Com mercial, which has heretofore been rec ognized as Senator Hanna' s official organ In this section of the state, has suddenly changed front, and in Saturday's Issue published an editorial which explains how Hanna expects to gain a seat in the sen ate. The sudden desertion of Hanna by the Commercial has created the greatest political sensation. The editorial is a follows, and coming from a paper which is so closely allied with the Hanna people is conceded to be correct: "Hanna's paid agents are preparing to rape the ballot box In the most unexpect. ed places. The attempts will be made wherever the people are the most honest and unsuspecting. Citizens, be on your guard." Another editorial is as follows: "Governor Bushnell. George B. Cox and Mark Hanna have made an alliance of fensive and beneficial to throw down For. aker, Kurta Co." Hesu't of Foot Rus3ian Harvests St. Petersburg, Sept. 20. The bad harvest affects 17 Russian provinces and it is feared It will soon be felt in 1S9 as the drought has prevented sow ing winter wheat on the large areas. Sr. Nans 3n Has an Heir.

TOPEKA STATE JOTJRNAIi, MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 20, 1897. 3 DIES INANGER. An Aged Farmer Near Lyndon Grows So Angry Because His Brother Hitches Up His Horse THAT HE DllOPS DEAD After Trying to Stab His Broth er With a Knife. Lired on a 400 Acre Farm and Was Wealthy. Nels Larsen, aged 60 years, die Sat urday, six miles north of Lyndon, un der very peculiar circumstances. He and his brother, both old bach elors, live together on their 400 acre farm on the Iragoon. Saturday morn ing the brother, John, went to the sta ble and hitched up his brother's team to do some work. Nels came out and ordered him not to take the team. A. few words passed between them when Kels drew a large knife from his pock et and made a slash at his brother. John caught him around the waist from his back and called for Mr. Watson, who happened to be near at hand, to take the knife away from Nels, which he did. John saw that his brother was quiet and placed him on the ground. Notic ing that he did not move he made a hurried examination and found that he was dead. He was buried Sunday af ter an inquest had been held. Mr. Larsen is very wealthy. FT. SCOIT POLICE FIGHT. Trouble, Nothing but Trouble, Over the Police Appointments There. The fight between tfce police commis sioners of Ft. Scott ana the subordinate officers who were discharged, has been transferred to Topeka by the latter, who will make an effort to have the gov ernor interfere in their behalf. A few weeks ago the commissioners discharged Chief of Police Ross Will iams and the police judge, also three members of the police force. The aggrieved persons went into court and secured a temporary order restrain ing the commissioners from removing them. This case will come up next week, but in the meantime the dis charged officials are seeking to have the commissioners removed, and Mr. Will iams and County Attorney Shepherd came to Topeka today to present their case to the governor. The governor being at Lawrence, the men went down to see him at home. Williams claims that Commissioner Lowry, who was appointed at the so licitation of the railroad men, is a gold Democrat, although masquerading as a fusionist. Williams also avers that Commission er Robbins is a Republican and a sup porter of the McKinley policy of gov ernment. Asserting that the commissioners, un der whose power he was .satisfied to hold an office, but from whom he re fuses to accept a discharge, do not rep resent the state administration in a fitting manner. Mr. WTilliams proposes to have them removed, so that he can hold onto the place as chief of police. Mr. Williams wants the governor to appoint a Populist board and give the metropolitan police system one more trial: then if it proves unsuccessful, he wants the governor to abolish it. SENATOR BAKES GOES EAST. "Will Inquire About the Wa Keeney Land Office and U. S. Marshal. Leavenworth, Sept. 20. Senator Ba ker left for Washington Saturday aft ernoon. The senator will be absent ten or fifteen days. It is understood that he is making the trip by way of looking after some appointments. The claim is made that the senator believes the administration has been imposed upon in selecting a register of the land office at Wa-Keeney. The senator, in his list of recommendations, included the name of W. S. Tilton. edi tor of the Osborne County Farmer, for that place. In happens that Ike Pur cell, of Grainfield. was appointed. The claim is made that the secretary of the interior has in some way got the thing tangled up and has named the wrong man. It is well known that Pension Agent Leland and many leading Re publicans had Indorsed Purcell, but no one suspected that the recommendation of the senator would in any way fail to bring an appointment. The claim is also made that some thing may be done in the matter of United States marshal. An effort is being made to induce the senator to abandon Sterne and select some one else." It is not thought, however, that this has anything to do with his unex pected trip east. NOAH ALLEN SITES. Seeks to Recover $6,120 From the Gulf Interstate as Attorneys Fees. Galveston, Sept. 20. Noah Allen han instituted suit against the Gulf and Interstate railway company for $6,120, alleged to be due for services rendered. The plaintiff says that in August, 1S94. the defendant employed him as its attorney and legal adviser and agreed to pay him the sum of $1,500 a year, said salary to be paid in the paid up capital stock of the defendant compa ny, at its par value, the stock to be is sued to the defendant after the rendi tion of his services; that defendant was not ready to issue such stock until April 12, 1S97, but since that time it has failed and refused; to issue the stock to the plaintiff, which was due him. Plaintiff says there is a balance of $S25 due him on his salary. Plaintiff further' says that In May, 1895, he was employed by the defendant to take control of its legal business, and rendered services in that capacity until May. S96, but that no salary nor com pensation was agreed upon. Plaintiff, however, says such services were reas onably worth the sum of $5,000. He asks judgment for $6,120, as debt and interest. K S. TJ. WOMEN. Llaiy of Them Hava Achieved mark ed Eminence. Lawrence, Sept. 20. In the elect'on of Miss Mary F. Winston to the chair cf mathematics the Agricultural college at Alanhattan shows its annreciation of woman's ability. Miss Winston is a graduate from the University of Wis consin and has received the doctor's de gree from Goettingei. Germany. Kan sas In granting her a place in one of the state institutions pays her the just re ward of many years of labor. But the University of Kansas herself has a fos ter child of equal abilUy and education. This la Miss Anna Louise Mackinnon, professor of mathematics at Wells col lege, Aurora, N. x. Miss Mackinnon, like Miss Winston, has pursued an advanced course of study at Goettinaren ana has received the doctor's degree. Prior to this Miss Mackinnon was graduated from, the University of Kansas in 1889, taking the master's degree. After her graduation she taught mathematics in the Law rence high school for a time, but re signed this position in order to pursue her studies further at Cornell college. The work at Cornell, supplemented by the higher training received at Goettin gen. gained for Miss Mackinnon the professorship of mathematics at Wells college the position which she holds at tne present time. It is a fact worthy of mention that Wrells college has just admitted to its tacuity another cne of the Kansas Uni versity's graduates. Miss Anne Reese Pugh. Miss Pugh is a sister-in-law of Prof. W. C. Stevens, of the department of botany at the State University, and was graduated from the university with the class of 1891, receiving the master's degree. Miss Pirgh has since pursued a special line of study abroad and has held the chair of Roman languages at Wellesley college, Mass. Every induce ment was offered her to retain this posi tion, but after mature deliberation Miss Pugh resigned, and with the open ing of the school year will take charge of the French department of Wells col lege. Although Kansas University women have been given positions in eastern colleges, they have not been compelled to seek recognition abroad. .From the very beginning the university has ac knowledged and rewarded the faithful endeavors of women scholars. Among the first to be called to her support were Miss Leonard, Miss Sehlrgel (now Mrs. Proressor Carruth) and Miss Kate Ste phens( daughter of Judge N. T. Ste phens, of Lawrence), the former com ing from the east, the latter being graduated with the third class which the university sent out. Miss Stephens held the chair ofGreek. succeeding one of the earliest and ablest of the university's instructors. Prof. Byron C. Smith. None of the three is in the university at present.

Sack to Keep Them Off the Ballot. Marion, Sept. 20. The Republicans in Marion county have announced that under the Australian ballot law, as amended by the last legislature, they will shut the Populists out of represen tation on the official ballot this fall. The situation is this: Under the amended law no political party shall be entitled to place on the official ballot unless it shall have cast at the previous general election at least 5 per cent of the total vote of the county. In a num ber of counties it has been said that the Populists will be barred from represen tation because of the slight or in some cases entire absence cf Populist vote, owing to the fact that fusionists of all parties voted the Democratic ticket. Since the question has been investi gated it has been discovered that the Democrats of Marion county last fall cast between 600 and 700 votes, while the Populists cast in the neighborhood of 1,100.

The Chicago Northwestern Makes a Reduction on St. Louis Rate. Chicago, Sept. 20. The Chicago Northwestern road has announced a rate of $10.95 from Omaha, $10.85 from Council Bluffs and $7.00 from Des Moines to take effect on Tuesdays and Thursdays, during the continuance of the St. Louis exposition. All the other roads interested in the territory affected will make the same rates. It is said by the roads making the rates, that they are compelled to make them in conse sequemce of the $7.00 rate made from Kansas City to Chicago by the Great Western. The rates made are based on the rate of $7.00 from Des Moines, the local rates being added to the Des Moines from Omaha and Council Bluffs. The result of the rate of $7.00 from Kansas City made by the Great Western has been to reduce all through rates from trans Mississippi territory for which Kansas City is a common gateway and it will cost all the roads thousands of dollars before the matter is settled. THE LARGEST LOCOMOTIVE. Mexican Central Has a Monster Made in New York. New Tork, Sept, 20. The last locomo tive, finished Saturday at Dunkirk, N.

The en gine alone weighs 195,000 pounds, and in full working order, with a loaded tender, weighs 285,000 pounds. The cylinders are 21x26, the drivers, 49 inches in diameter. The boiler is of the Belpaire type, and is 78 inches in side diameter at the front end, thus al lowing an extremely tall man to stand upright in it. The height of the engine from the ground Is nearly 18 feet, and three men standing one on another's shoulders could just reach the top of the whistle. The fire-box is 122x42 on top of frame. The engine is equipped auivmain; .n- tnu arive DraKes I and the La- Chatelier water brake.

Bryan stopped off in this city on his way to Illinois and took breakfast at the Pal mer with Senator Cockrell and Col. Wet more. Before 8 o'clock the three were in the rotunda, Mr. Bryan and Senator Cock rell preparing for immediate departure from the city in different directions. The three statesmen moved out to Chestnut street, following the porter through the saloon. "Might have known this was a Dem ocratic crowd," said CoL Wetmore. "Straight shoot for the bar." On the sidewalk the party waited a moment and compared watches. Then a dapper little gentleman hove in sight He had on a brown suit of fall cloth ing. On his head he wore, a Kansas white hat. His choker was stiff and high, and he walked along with an air of boyish healthfulness. "Bless me, there's Ingalls," said Mr. Bryan, and in another moment the Kansas ex-senator, the Nebraska ora tor and the Missouri senator were all shaking hands at once. "Must have had a great exhibition at Sedalia," said Ingalls. There was an embarrassed pause. "I don't exactly understand you," said Bryan, somewhat inclined to resent the insinuation. Ingalls" eyes twinkled. "I mean the fair was a great success." "Oh, yes," said Bryan, suavely. Then the car came along and Bryan and Cockerell started toward the sta tion. "Truth is," said Ingalls, as he watch ed the statesmen out of sight, "there is no interest anywhere in the question of free silver. It is a dying issue.

Lots of us would like to have more than we now possess, so we talk along in that strain, meanwhile real izing that we are in pretty good shape after all. Friend Bryan is a good fel low, though, and thoroughly in earn est." HEARD IN LOS ANGELES 400 Costumes Said to Be Ship ped From There to Topeka. The following appears in the last issue of the Los Angeles Express to reach To peka: "All the costumes for the great carni val to be held in Topeka, Kan., next month were made in Los Angeles. The Queen of the Carnival is Mrs. Sutton, the wife of C. S. Sutton, the Santa Fe au ditor. Mrs. Sutton was in Los Angeles during the Fiesta and noticed the com pleteness of detail in the costumes and the gorgeous effect of the whole. When she was appointed Queen of the Topeka carnival she decided to have her cos tumes and those of the members of her court made here, as well as those to be used for people on the floats. "Winn C. Stone designed and manufac tured the 400 dresses necessary for the occasion. Some of the gowns are gor geous in texture and design. They were, all shipped to Topeka Monday. Such an order as this is very gratifying, for it is something new to 'go west for ele gance." (The Los Angeles paper has the facts somewhat twisted. Mr. Stone. who designed the costumes for the Bradley Martin ball, only made a few of the principal cos tumes for the Topeka Festival at Los Angeles, principally the Queen's gowns. The rest were all bought and made in Topeka. The greater part of the other costumes shipped from Los Angeles are those used in the Fiesta there, ..the use of which has been obtained. The Queen's gowns were not bought in Los Angeles, and they would not have been made there had it not been that Mr. Stone had other work in that city that kept him there. Fifty of the costumes mentioned are sailor suits provided by Mr. Stone for the Turners, who will wear them in the floral parade.) VISIT MISS WHITNEY-. Karnival Knights Officers Go to Ch.il licoth.3 to Make Arrangements. Chas. K. Holliday, president of the Karnival Knights, and John C. Waters, chairman of the ball committee, went to Chillicothe, Mo., yesterday to see Miss Edna Whitney, who is to be Queen Lorena at the Karnival Knights celebration Oc tober 1. They will make the necessary arrangements with Miss Whitney and will return to Topeka tomorrow. Today a committee is arranging for a headquarters for Manager Will Haskell. The Karnival Knights hold an important meeting Wednesday evening and on Thursday morning go to Atchison in a body. 1 FESTIVAL QUEEN'S BALL. Additional Names Placed on the Floor Committee List. Mr. J. R. Hankla, chairman of the floor committee of the Festival Queen's ball, has secured the assistance of the following gentlemen, who will comprise the remainder of the committee: F. E. Wear, W.A.

Wyatt wants to meet all the school children who will participate in the "Living Flag" tomorrow at 4 p. m. cm the north steps of the state house. The final arrangements will be made at that time. Card of Thanks.

HOHESEEKEKS MEET. The Call Declares That 75 Per Cent of the People are Tenants. Chicago, Sept. 20. The first annual con vention of the National Homeseekers' as sociation, a meeting of those interested in urging the surplus population of the i ctties to take up homes in the sparsely j settled agricultural regions of the United States, was held here today. About 50 delegates were present from all parts of the country, but at least 200 are expect ed to appear at tomorrow's session. To. day's meeting was called to order by George B. Girling of Chicago, chairman of the executive committee of the asso ciation. He made a short statement out lining the work of the association and also read the call of the convention. The call says: "We firmly believe that the safety of the republic is threatened by the concentration of the population into the crowded centers and history teaches that those nations achieve the highest attainments where the majority of the people are home owners and not tenants, and at the present time nearly three-fourths of the American people are living in rented homes. Such a condi tion endangers the stability of the gov ernment." Permanent organization was then com pleted. FT. SCOTT'S TROUBLE. Governor Leedy Makes Another Over turn There Today. At 3 o'clock this afternoon Governor Leedy, in response to the demands of County Attorney John I. Shepherd and Ross Williams, chief of police, removed by the old board of police commissioners at Fort Scott, removed two members of the commission, W. D. Lowry, Democrat, and J. P. Rohens, Populist. E. M. Bowen, Democrat, was appointed to suc ceed Lowry. M. M. Jones, Populist, was appointed president to succeed Rohens. The secretary, J. W. Bowlus, was not disturbed. This change means the restoration of Ross Williams, Police Judge Shipp and the policemen who were discharged by the old commissioners. It was represented to the governor that Lowry is a gold Democrat and voted for Morrill for governor, and that Rohens, who was supposed to be a Populist, com bined with Lowry and removed all the Populist policemen and the chief and po lice judge. The two officers last named brought injunction proceedings to retain their plaees.but the legal proceedings will now be dismissed. THE THREE LINKS.

This afternoon the sovereign grand lodge held a session and a reception was tendered the visiting Rebekahs at Odd Fellows hall. Sixty thousand vis itois are expected tomorrow and exten sive preparations have been made for their entertainment. JUST AN IDEA For the State House Decorators to Think Over and Consider. While the state house people are dis cussing how they shall decorate the state house for the Fall Festival why not adopt this design: Run four wires from the top of the dome to four poles at the corners of the state house grounds and string the wires with red, yellow and white pennants. This would be the easiest and cheapest decoration and one of the most effective. RIDE ON THE TRUCKS. People Adopt Extraordinary Methods to Escape the Pestilence. St. Lcuii, Sept. 20. Two special trains which left Mobile, Ala., today, are ex pected to reach here Tuesday morning. On the trains are the clerks and other employes in the general offices of the Mobile Ohio railroad at Mobile, with their wives and families. The em ployes number about 200 and they with their families make a total of 1.000 per sons, who will remain here until the frost kills the yellow fever germs in the south. Temporary headquarters of the road have been opened up here by act ing President E. L. Russell and General Auditor R. V. Taylor, who have been in the city several days. Refugees continue to pour in from the south, every train yesterday and today being crowded. A dozen men in the re spectable waiks of life in Mobile came in on the trucks of today's trains over the Mobile Ohio road. They were too poor to get out of town in any other way.Among the prominent people from Mobile is Judge O. J. Semmes. PERU IS SHAKEX. Earthquake Shocks Cause the People to Rush to the Streets.

Few events of so little public concern In themselves have attracted so much attention or led to so much discussion as has the position on the silver ques tion, which Dr. E. Benjamin Andrews took and publicly sustained. It led to dissatisfaction on the part of the di rectory of Brown university, to his resignation, and the whole matter has finally terminated In his withdrawing his resignation at the request' of that same directory. But his tendency to iconoclasm does not seem to have been checked. In the current number of the Cosmopolitan he takes the classics in the colleges from the lofty pedestal they have hitherto oc cupied and places them far down In the list of important things to be taught. The position taken by Dr. Andrews is that the time spent on the study of Latin and Greek is not only to a large degree wasted, but that their study is p.sitively detrimental morally, rel g iously and from a business point of -view. There is an old and rather wide spread belief that a man who has work ed his way through a classical course Is rarely successful In the practical af fairs of life, but never before, perhaps, has this view of the matter received endorsement from such a quarter. In regard to the reason advanced In Its favor by the advocates of classical education, viz.: that it affords an ex ceptional mental drill, Dr. Andrews de clare that all the advantages in this direction can be derived from numerous other branches of learning which pos sess the merit of being of use in after life. In dealing with other phases of the question he says: "The effort to appre hend modern things by the aid of an cient, unless carried very far and made perfectly thorough, is worse than use less. It confuses what it seeks to clear up. History does not exactly repeat it self. The modern world is wholly un like the ancient in every important de tail. The Athenian and Roman repub lics were not prototypes of the repub'lc3 now in existence. For the ordinary stu dent, desiring to, understand granger laws and Henry George, reading about ancient land quarrels would be as like ly to do harm as good." He also denies that the study of the classical authors is a help in acquiring the art of facile and correct writing. It may now be expected that the college men will take up the cudgel recently used by the gold men. REFLECTIONS OF A EACHEL03 (From the New Tork Press.) Lots of girls know how a man Is caught, but very few know how to catch one. Every woman, 'way down In her heart, believes any woman is too good for a man. I wonder why when a woman tries on rew hat she always dabs her face with a handkerchief. Some preachers go through life as thimgh they were the whole circu, tak lrg their maker along as a sort of eid? show. When a girl is walking with a man and sudderly begins to act queer and absent mirded, it is a sign that she has seen a mirror. When a girl gets engaged to her last chance she writes letters to all th men who have turned her down, telling them abut her "new found happiness."

Sergeant Iva Bald win, the aeronaut connected with the signal service department of the Color ":ado. will in a short time begin experi ments with the box kite as a means of observing naval and military manoeuv ring for the purpose of long distance signaling. Sergeant Baldwin will collaborate with Prof.Otto Chanute.the well known engineer of Chicago. The idea is to build a series of box kites for the pur pose of elevating observers to great heights. "phe advantage of the device is that it will withstand the violent urg'ngs of air currents and be render ad mors safe by them. WEATHER AND CROPS. Observer T. B. Jennings Issues His Report for August. The monthly climate and crop Bervice report as compiled by Weather Observ er T. B. Jennings, was issued today and in it he says: "The first day of the month was, with few exceptions, the hottest and, crowning the week of ex treme heat of July, was very severe on all crops, but rains setting in on the 3d with slowly falling temperature re j juvenated all growing crops in the northwestern, northern and most of the easiern counties, also in many of the central southern counties. By the close of the first week corn was in prime con dition from Chautauqua to Wyandotte, in McPherson, and in the northern, northwestern and western counties; upland corn in many of the other coun ties has been badly damaged, while in Harvey, Stafford, Pratt, Kingman, Har per and parts of Reno, Sedgwick and Sumner the corn as a grain crop was practically ruined. Threshing continu ed to show good yields of wheat and flax. Prairie haying and fall plowing continued, though in the southeast part of Kingman the grass was too dry and prairie fires had become a daily occur rence. During the second week rains were more general over the state except in Osborne, Smith and Jewell, and the temperature much cooler, helping all growing vegetation, bringing late corn out remarkably well, and putting the ground in fine condition for plowing, which was being pushed, but it delayed threshing and was unfavorable to wheat in shock and stack in the north western counties. The week ending the 21st was unus ai:y cool.the temperature ranging about 5 degrees below the normal; fine rains fell over the western counties, while heavy dews, nightly, were of general occurrence; much of the damaged corn filled nicely this week, except in Smith and Osborne; Sumner finished thresh ing her shock wheat; corn cutting be gan in the southern counties; grapes and peaches were abundant; haying and fall plowing continued. The fourth week was warm, the temperature aver aging about 6 degrees above the normal and only traces of rain occurred except .11 at Kansas City, .25 at Clay Center, and .80 at Atchison; hot winds were frequent and caused much damage; corn cutting was rushed to save fod der, the corn maturing rapidly under the hot dry influences, which also dried out the wheat stacks in the western counties, fitting them for threshing; early sown wheat began coming up in Sedgwick; the western range had con tinued and cattle were In fine condition. The 29th was a showery day in the east half of the state giving fair to good rains in the central southern counties and in Greenwood, Lyon, Coffey and continguous portions of Osage, and Franklin. Hot winds prevailed on the 1st and 3rd, and the last seven days of the month. The temperature for the month is stated as follows: The mean temperature was above the normal in the Smoky Hill and Kaw valleys west of Lawrence, also in Clark, extending thence E. N. E. through Co manche, Barber, Kingman, Sedgwick, Butler and Greenwood into Coffey and Woodson, thence down through Wilson, Montgomery, Labette and Cherokee; over the rest of the state it was below normal, reaching a deficiency of 2.9 de grees in McPherson. PRECIPITATION. The precipitation was above normal in the western counties, and through the southern to Wilson and Labette, extending from Elk north through Greenwood. Chase, Marion, Dickinson, Clay, Washington and Marshall; it was below normal in the central and north central counties, and in the eastern counties, the greatest deficiency being 2.74 at Manhattan, while Just west at Abilene there is an excess of 2.73. There is an excess of 3 inches and up wards in the extreme western counties north of Stanton, the greatest excess being 4.23 at Lakin. SUMMARY. The mean temperature was 76.0 degs.. being 0.1 degs-below the normal; highest monthly mean, 81.6 degs.. at Pratt; lowest monthly mean, 71.6 degrees, at Norton; maximum, 109 degrees, at Abilene, Cun ningham, Medicine Lodge, Minneapolis and Salina on the 1st; minimum 45 de grees at Goodland on 17th; greatest monthly range, 59 degrees, at Salina; least monthly range, 44 degrees, at Cha nute. Precipitation (in Inches): Average for the state 3.06. which is .09 below the normal; greatest monthly, 6.30 at La kin and Pratt; least monthly, 0.56. at Beloit Prevailing direction of wind: South. DATES. Thunderstorms: 2, 3. 4, 5, 6. 7, 8, 9, 10, 13, 14. 15, 16, 17, 18, 21, 23, 25, 28. 29, 30, 31. Hail: 3, 17. Fog: 5, 6, 7, 9. 11, 14, 18, 30. Hazy, or smoky: 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 25. Cunningham reports the water in Panther creek lower at end of the month than it has been since 1883. Beloit reports the least August rain fall in ten years except in 1894, when it was 0.10. CY" HELPS A BROTHER, Howard Leland, Santa Fe Clerk, Made Register of a New Mexico Land Office. Denver, Sept. 20. A special to the News from Santa Fe, N. M., says: Howard Leland, appointed register of the Roswell land office, is an elder bro ther of Cyrus Leland, the Kansas politi cian. He came to Albuquerque from Leavenworth four years ago for his health and Is now a clerk in the Santa Fe Pacific offices. SUIT AGAINST R. T. KREIPE For Injury Done to Cattle Barns Be iag Used as Sheep Pens The county attorney has been In structed to commence suit against R. T. Kreipe on his bond given to insure the proper care of the fair grounds while under his jurisdiction. Mr. Kreipe had charge of the grounds a year ago and he permitted the cattle barns to be used as a sheep pen. The result was that the stable was left in a filthy condition. The Committee of Fifteen wanted the barn to use for sleeping quarters and the county com misioners Instructed Mr. Kreipe to clean it up. He paid no attention to the notice. County Clerk McCabe wrote to Mr. Kreipe today giving him ten days in which to commence the work. At the same time a letter was sent to County Attorney Jetmore Instructing him to bring suit against Mrs. Emma Kreipe who signed the bond. The commis sioners claim that Kreipe violated his contract. At the time the sheep were put into the fair ground it was repeatedly an nounced "that they would do no dam age." Now, it seems clear that that statement wasn't true. TEMPERANCE PEOPLE MEET Committee of Fifteen is Said to Have a Contract That No Liquor Shall be Sold on Fairgrounds County Treasurer Stahl made an im passioned speech at the temperance mass meeting Saturday afternoon. Mr. Stahl was chairman of the meet ing and his address was the first-Amongr other things he said: "Why are we here today? Because our laws are being trampled under foot, by lawless men. Because lawful offi cers are resisted in the discharge of their duties. Because our public offi cers.no matter what the reason may be, made no effort to arrest the gamblers and jointists at the grocers and butch ers' picnic, nor at the Labor day pic nic, although they were present, and knew that the laws of our state were being openly and publicly violated. We are here because our beautiful city, of which we all are proud, is in danger. We are here because of our boys. I have six boys, and that I give as six good reasons why I am here today. We are here because we believe laws were made to be obeyed. We are here be cause the time has come when the law and order people of this city and coun ty must arise in their might, show their strength, and through legitimate chan nels enforce the law, or throw up the sponge, and let the joints and gambling hells have their own way.although they are far less in numbers, than the law and order element. "At the liquor dealers convention held in the state of Ohio one of the speakers used the following language: 'The success of our business is depend ent very largely upon the creation of appetite for drink. If there is no appe tite created, our counters will be empty as will be our coffers. After men are grown and their habits are formed they rarely ever change in this regard. It will be needful therefore that mission ary work be done among the boys, and I make the suggestion, gentlemen, that nickels expended In treats to the boys now will turn in dollars to your tills after the appetite has been formed. Above all things create an appetite.' "Can anything be more Satanic, or devilish than this; and yet every word is true; every word is logical; every word is consistent with the hellish traf fic in which they are engaged. The man that robs me on the highway or sand-bags men in some dark alley is a gentleman compared with the man that used the language referred to; or the men who put it into practice in their nefarious business. "Public office is a public trust and we want to teach the officer who violates his oath and betrays a public trust.that at the first opportunity he will be elect ed to stay at home and his place filled by a better man. "Public sentiment in favor of law and order is a thing to be desired; a thing to be worked for, and a dangerous thing for a public officer to ignore. Neverthe less let it be what it may here in this city, a determined set of county offi cers in sympathy with our laws would close every gambling resort, every joint and every law breaking establishment in this city in less than one week." Rev. Mr. Hitchcock of Meriden who followed Mr. Stahl placed the whole blame of the laxity In the enforcement of the prohibitory law on Governor Leedy. R. S. Osborn, ex-secretary of state, followed and advised that the people should vote for officers who they know "will enforce the law. Judge T. F. Garver congratulated the people because the joints have been driven to dark corners. He said he be lieved the county attorney and justices of the peace would do their duty. Edward Wilder spoke a few minutes "as an individual and not as treasurer of the Santa Fe road." He said. "It is wrong to consider that during Festival week any power, the governor, or chief of police, or the Committee of Fifteen, or the Kansas liquor dealers can sus pend the action of this law. If they can do this then any individual can do it with any law at any time. "I appreciate the fact that the Com mittee of Fifteen is in an unpleasant situation. They have not the power to accept conditional subscriptions. They have nothing whatever to do with it. The contract which the Committee of Fifteen has with the privilege men dis tinctly provides that no liquor shall be sold on the grounds. At least this state ment was made to me within this hour by a member of the Committee of Fif teen." J. W. Gleed made a brief talk and In troduced the resolutions which were printed in Saturday's Journal. They were adopted unanimously. WISE AND UPRIGHT JUDGE National Corporation Reporter Com pliments Chief Justice Doster. In the current number of the Nation al Corporation Reporter, edited by Adolph Moses, one of the foremost members of the Chicago bar, appears an article on an opinion by Chief Jus tice Doster as to the trust relationship between a shareholder and the presi dent of a corporation which prevents the officer from misusing his superior means of information concerning the value of shares, and selling for the stockholder when the latter is at such a disadvantage. The opinion of the chief justice had been published in full by the Reporter the week before. After commenting upon the soundness and justness of the doctrine, the editorial says: "We are pleased to observe the abil ity of the chief justice, whose reputa tion as a jurist has been somewhat dimmed by political adversions, and, perhaps, by the chief justice himself in the use of immoderate disputation either before or after the election. The chief justice will do credit to the court over which he presides." Have You BeeD There YetP There are many delightful resorts In New Mexico, but none excelling Las Vegas Hot Springs.

"I have taken Hood's Sarsaparilla for dyspepsia and to purify my blood, with excellent results. I was so that I could not eat anything without distress, but since taking a few bottles of Hood's Sarsaparilla my food does not distress me, and I have felt better In every way.

Boyle is Supported by a Ballot Of 123 to 41 Bat Will Resign Nevertheless. The Trouble Arose Ostensibly Over Dr. Boyle's Failing Health, Al though the Pastor Says His Health is Excellent The congregation of the First Christian church in executive session yesterday morning, immediately after the morning service, voted to reject the resignation of the Rev. D. D. Boyle as pastor of the church by a vote of 123 to 41. The Rev. Mr. Boyle, however, will not remain as pastor of the church on account of the minority vote. Although the difference which has sprung up In the church Is of somewhat short origin, yet it has assumed de gree of strength which makes it a bitter fight. The matter has been uppermost in the minds of the church people for several weeks and yesterday was set as a day on which the question should be settled permanently. Rev. D. D. Boyle preached yesterday to a congregation which filled comfortably the large new auditorium of the First Christian church. He chose for his sub ject "The Voice Unseen," and the Scrip ture lesson was taken from I Samuel, 1-10. He said in part: "My friends, when we have plenty of water In the land we do not appreciate it so much. When the sun shines con tinuously we do not appreciate it. Over in Turkey, where the tramp of horrible, blundering armies is heard they may wish for peace, but in our land where all Is quiet we do not appreciate peace. When we have plenty of kind friends we don't pray for more friends. But when we get into a strange place we sometimes say: "O that I might look Into the face of a friend.' There are those who sit in the meeting house and listen to the Gos pel as given by the minister, yet they do not heed what is said. The harass ing disappointments of life sometimes dull the ear to the sweet, small voice, You'll hear enough of the wicked world, but listen to the admonition of the kind, loving Father." After a hymn had been sung Rev. Mr. Boyle stepped down from the pulpit and standing directly in front of the audi ence, said: "Brethren and sisters, before I retire from the room I wish to say a few words. It is a source of deep regret and sorrow to me that dissatisfaction has arisen. But this seems to be true. When the board decided that I should resign. I sent my resignation to them .and asked them to accept It. I had hoped that that would settle it. But they have seen fit to submit the question to you. The right thing to do is to follow the elders, your spiritual advisers. The reason given for asking me to resign was that my health hac failed. At present my health is bet ter than it has been for years. For the future I cannot insure my health. If la grippe should attack me this winter it may pull me down. But I ask you this as Christians: That if you are prompted by any other than the Spirit of Christ, do not deceive the board nor deceive your selves. If you believe that you can la bor with me in the saving of souls, say so by your voice. Speak what is in your heart. I am at your disposal. I am will ing to go if you choose that 1 shall. nd even if a respectable minority is against my staying I shall not stay; I shall go. I ask that you do what is right in the matter and in the sight of God." As the minister finished and walked back on the pulpit platform and left the room, his face was flushed with emotion. His audience was affected and a dead si lence followed, which was only broken by Druggist R. B. Kelly stepping forward and giving out a hymn. After this Mr. Kelly, who is president of the church board, called the congregation to order and stated that it now devolved upon them to settle the question before the church as regarded the retention or dis missal of the pastor. He said: "T have here the resignation of Mr. Boyle, which Is as' follows: "I hereby tender my resignation to the "church board on account of failing health, to take effect within 60 days or sooner if my successor can be named.' "I have the unpleasant duty of acting under the rules of this board and con ducting this meeting. I will give a short history of the case. August 29 the board met to discuss the matter. A secret bal lot was taken which resulted in eleven voting for a change and five against it. A committee was appointed which noti fied the pastor. The latter sent his res ignation September 5. September 15 at a special meeting of the board twelve members were present. Six voted to re ject the resignation and five to accept it, the chairman pro tern, not voting. Now that is the status of the case. Twelve board members voted, while nine were not present. I was not present and I can speak only for myself. I would like to know if you now wish to take action on this or to refer it back to the board with power to act." Another silence prevailed and then the chairman said: "All in favor of rejecting the resignation of the pastor will please rise." One hundred and twenty-three men and women stood up, including the members of the choir. Then the vote to accept the resignation was called for and forty one people arose. This prompted Chair man Kelly to say: "Now, everyone ought to vote on this. We can't make you vote, but it is your duty." The vote was announced by the clerk of the church as 123 for and 41 against re jecting the resignation. The action had been taken and Chairman Kelly said: "Let us sing 'Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow." The hymn was sung and a prayer offered, and the con gregation of the First Christian church filed out. Rev. Mr. Boyle had been vin dicated by a 3 to 1 vote, but it Is prob able that he will consider the one-fourth a "respectable minority." The pastor is a man of talent, being a pulpit orator of note and well thought of. Last winter he had a severe spell of sickness and was unable to pay close attention to his duties as a result. The church has had in it factions ever since the trouble over the expulsion of Mr. J. J. Hitt a few years go. fx. syvy. v.'fv. J "BEAUTIFUL. WORK." I WE.

New Tork, Sept. 20. Four brokers were arrested today on a charge of hav ing defrauded Mrs. F. M. Wheaton out of $2,110. The men arrested were Stev en R. Tobin and Willis B. Troy, bank ers and brokers, at No. 11 Broadway, and Clifford Davis and a man of the name of Archer. Mrs. Wheaton sent to Tobin and Troy, at the suggestion of the other two men, $810 in Reading stock and $1,300 in cash, to be invested in discretionary pools. Mrs. Wheaton ordered them to buy some sugar on August 31. They sent her word that she had been short of sugar at 150, and that they had closed her out on the rise at 155, thus wiping out her margins. The transaction preyed upon Troy's mind. He finally went to, the district attorney's office, and telling the district attorney of the affair.confessed that the alleged transaction had never taken place and that Mrs. Wheaton had been defrauded of her money. YOUNG HERRMANN RIGHT. Kansas City Pronounces the legerde main Artist to be Perfect. Tomorrow night the theatrical sea son opens in Topeka. Leon and Adel aide Herrmann will appear at the Grand in a combination entertainment of magic and spectacular dances. Of the entertainment Chicago papers say there has never been better of Its kind on the American stage. They say that Leon Herrmann is the equal in ev ery way of his famous uncle, "Herr mann the Great," and that Adelaide Herrmann's dances this wear are beau tiful. The Herrmanns have played to crowded houses in Chicago and Kansas City, and deserve to be greeted by a large audience tomorrow night. The Herrmanns spent the past week in Kansas City, and of their entertain ment Austin Latehaw had the following to say in the Kansas City Journal: "Young Herrmann made a most fav orable impression. He bears a striking resemblance to his distinguished ur ele in form, feature and method. He had performed but a few of his simplest tricks when he was accepted as all right, a hasty verdict that was not changed by the developments of the evening." IT'S aITowdv; instinct." That Makes Any Young Man Think It's Fun to Strike Maskers. At the last meeting of the Karnival Knie-hts it was decided that inflated 1 bladders would not be allowed on Kan- sas avenue on Friday night, Oct. 1st. Some of the young men about town think this is an imposition upon them and think that their so-called fun-making should have no bounds. Good, pure 1 fun will be allowed to flow as freely as anyone could wish, but such rowdy ish means of having so-called fun as by striking people with bladders or i striking them with anything else will not be tolerated at alL The regular police will arrest anyone who strikes another with a bladder or any other article and the special police, 200 str; ng. will keep the other officers informed of any depredations.

CARING FOR THE CROWD Hare You Rooms and Beds for Festival Visitors! Sons of Veterans Are Looking After Accommodations For the Incoming Thousands Other Fest val News of General Interest. To the Citizens of Topeka: With favoring weather, ail irdica tions point to the presei.ce of a very great number of strangers in the city during Festival week more perhaps than the hoieis and other ordinary means of accommodation can provide for. A large detail of the Sons of Veter ans of the cou.ty ha3 been empowered to act as a Reception Committee, and a part of their duty will be to assiga this expected excess of people to pri vate families for meals and beds. The Committee of Fifteen has an ar rai gement with Messrs. Henderson aiid Wood at the southeast con.er of 7th and Jackson streets, whereby informa tion as to the nature and extent of the utommodation a;iy family can furnish JilJi.. l.tT if It 14.11 lUCUl. Ti.e undersigned have been designat ed by the Committee of Twenty-e.ght to suggest, with the approval of the Committee of Fifteen, further rapid means for putting the city in a condi tion of readiness to take care of the overflow if it comes; and we respect fully recommend that each family In coi.dition to extend such iiccommoda tion at once have, written upon a card their name, street and number, and how many persons they can provide for and then send this card without delay to Messrs. Henderson Wood for the Use of the Reception Committee. To those in North Topeka and other parts of the city not near Messrs Hen derson Wood we recommend that they hand their information to their grocer or butcher with instructions to send direct to the committee. As a further precaution we also urge Upon the grocers and butchers that they instruct their order men each morning to gather up these lists and fee that they get promptly to commit tee headquarters each day. The Reception Committee will know every r ight from the raiiroad offices Just what the attendance of the follow ing day is liable to be, and if each gro cer and butcher keeps in communica tion with the committee he can tell his customers at any time what further preparations may bee needed to make visitors comfortable. Let the accommodations now avail able be promptly offered by the citi zens that the Sons of Veterans may have the lists as they go out to meet trains; and then incur the special ex pense of further preparation when the nee essity therefor becomes apparent. If the citizens fail to furnish the Re ception Committee with these lists no assignments can be made. All these lists should be in the hands of the com mittee before next Saturday night if possible. E. L. SMITH, A. M. FULLER, T. M. JAMES, Committee. SNAP SHOTS AT HOME NEWS The grocers and coal men meet tonight. Keuben Spivey is seriously ill with ty phoid fever.

The float under preparation by the Modoc club will appear for the first time in the Santa Fe parade on Wednesday morning. Dr. J. C. Egelston of the Santa Fe dis pensary has returned after a two weeks' vacation spent in Colorado and New Mexico. Some people" never learn that a news paper won't make a book account of a want ad or that It will not take them over the telephone. F. C. White, who was sandbagged at Salina a few nights ago, lives at 1357 Dil lon street, this city. His injuries are said to be serious. Mr. J. H. Rohrer has moved to Topeka from Salina to take the position of cash ier and clerk at the Missouri Pacific freight depot in this city. An enterprising real estate firm has a large sign painted and placed in front of Its office showing the value of the crops raised in Kansas this year.

Miss Lottie Bowes, "Charlotte Crane," is receiving flattering notices from the Louisville, Ky., press. Miss Bowes is temporarily a member of the Meffert Stock company, now filling a season en gagement at the Temple theater in Louis ville. Topeka people will appreciate the pub lic spirit of the A. O. U. W. lodges. Their arch will do more to improve the appear ance of Kansas avenue during Festival week than anything else. It is too bad some other organization can't build an other one between Eighth and Ninth streets. It would complete the picture. One of the largest crowds of the sea Bon attended Marshall's last band con cert yesterday afternoon at Garfield park. Three Topeka march compositions were played for the first time by the band. They were "Queen of the Festival," by Roehr, "Santa Fe Silver Anniversary," by Chesney, and "Klondike," by Hack ney.

Ba ker and Mr. Wm. Van Ness will take part In the opening exercises at the fair grounds Monday afternoon. Hereafter Saturday will not be included as part of Festival week unless rain compels its use in place of some of the other days. TALK WITH THE QUEEN. Mrs. Sutton Delighted With Success of Arrangements. Grateful to the Many People Who Have Helped Iler By Kind Words of Encouragement and in Many Other Ways Will be Happy if the Feop a are Pleased. Mrs. C. S. Sutton, Queen of the Fes tival, is delighted with the prospects for Festival week. "I think the Committee of Fifteen deserves a great deal of credit," she said, "for arranging the splendid week of attractions. The members of the committee have given their time and energy to the work, and probably no one who has not watched closely the arrangements realizes the amount of labor they have performed. The com mittee undoubtedly deserves the com mendation of every citizen of Topeka. "In regard to the Floral feature of the week, I am sure that it will be a great success. It is true that at first it ap peared that the ladies were not taking es much interest in the Floral parade as last year, but I think that the ma jority are now thoroughly interested and will aid in making it one of the best features of the week. I appreciate probably more than any one else that it takes both time and money to decor ate carriages, and this is why I feel grateful towards the ladies who are arranging to participate in the parade. It is in a certain sense something of a sacrifice perhaps, and every lady who enters the parade deserves great credit for doing so. "I have given my entire time for the past three months to the Floral feature of the Festival, but I shall feel amply rewarded if it is a success. And no one can appreciate more than I do the help I have had from Topeka ladies. They are coming forward nobly for the benefit of our city. Women are just as public spirited as men, only they don't always have the same opportunity of serving their home city, as the men. Every lady who werks two or three weeks decorating her carriage and spends $25 or $35 to do it is just as much entitled to public regard as the banker or merchant who subscribes to the Festival fund; sometimes more be cause that much money isn't so easy to have In one's pocketbook. "Through the kindness cf the Topeka merchants we have been able to offer over 40 handsome prizes for the best decorations in the Floral parade, and probably several additional special pri zes will also be offered later. The num ber of floats in the parade thi3 year will be much larger than last year, and while I am speaking about floats I wish to say that I am especially grateful to Mrs. Meredith for the assistance she has given this feature by not only the presentation of 'Cinderella' but by rais ing funds with which to place in the parade handsome floats. This is the kind cf assistance that I thoroughly ap preciate. Mrs. Meredith has been ex tremely kind and if we only had more ladies of such energy and excellent ideas to help in the Foral parade, it would be a much easier task. "If the ladies who are as yet unde cided about the decoration of their car riages will only make up their minds to enter the parade, I am sure they will feel satisfied when they see the beauti ful scene they have aided in bringing about. "I have been encouraged by many kind words In my efforts to make our Topeka display as good as those in other cities, and I shall always have a warm place in my heart for those who when d couragements came thick and fast helped me by encouraging words and good advice. But if our floral fea ture pleases the thousands of people who come here, I shall be happy, be cause I have done what I could for the city which is my home." HEAR HOW THEY TALK. Newton Daily Republican on the To peka Fall Festival. The following from the Newton Daily Republican quite caps the climax for splendid notices of the Topeka Fall Festival. These superb notices are all given free and ought to forever bind Topeka and Newton together In amity. If Newton ever wants Topeka's help in any matter of any kind or description, let her call on us at once and we shall respond: One week from Monday September 27, will commence the biggest show or event of any kind that ever has been seen in the west. It will be the Fall Festival at Topeka. Conservative esti mates now place the number of persons who will be in attendance at 100,000,and this is not thought at all too large; in deed, many persons claim that the crowds will reach a higher figure than that. This is the time of the world when people demand rest, recreation and pleasure and are not satisfied unless they get it. Relaxation from the cares of business and the every day life is sought. People must have a good time, even at rare intervals. This being the case, a strictly Kansas show has been introduced in this Fall Festival at Topeka, and it shtould be well attended. There will be countless attractions to gratify the minds of those who will go to the great event. One day will be de voted to the firemen and in the evening the Pompier company of Kansas City will give demonstrations of life saving which will be well worth seeing. There will be a day for lodges. Thousands upon thousands of lodge men of the state will be there to participate in the ceremonies and exercises of the day. But what will Interest Newton most of all will be the monster railroad celebra tion of Wednesday, September 29. Ab solutely and positively there is nothing in the west which ever did equal this mammoth demonstration. It is im possible at this time to conceive of the magnitude of the affair. It was pro posed to commemorate the advent of the Santa Fe road as a Kansas institu tion its silver centennial. Twenty-five years ago that day witnessed the com pletion of the greatest railroad system in the world and it has done inca'culable good for Kansas, and as Kansas has done much good for the road, a celebra tion of this size and character is fitting. Many are the attractions for that day. There will be the grand parade of the day, in which fl.oa.ts, the like of which never have been seen.will play the prin cipal part. There will be thousands of railroad men, employes of the Santa Fe, In line, reviewed by President Ripley, by other officials, and probably by the board of directors. There will be speechmaking by President Ripley, by Geo. R. Peck, one of Kansas' greatest men, and a railroad man himself, by others of renown ;this of itself enough to warrant the attendance of thousands. Newton will be in that paxade and it will play a conspicuous part therein. The old soldiers also will be treated royally and everyone of them who shall ga will have a good time. One day has been set aside for the old veterans, and they may have their campfires ga lore. Parades, music, speechies, all will contribute to their pleasure, while scores of thousands of loyal and patriotic Kan sans shall do them homage. There never has been such a grand show in the west, let it be repeated, for the purpose of emphasis. Therefore, to those who can attend if they shall de sire, should be propounded this ques tion "Can you afford to miss it?" Of course you cannot, and you will not. You want to make arrangements to at tend this grand event, particularly Santa Fe day in which railroad men of your own town will take such a promi nent part. The representation from Newton should be 2,000 not a single person less. Will you, each one of you, help to make up that 2,000? KNIGHTS OF ANCIENT DAYS. The Tournament Will be a Brilliant andExciting Contest All day yesterday the Knights of the Floral Queen's court were practicing at the fair grounds. They charged and recharged, they slashed and parried. Now and then a horse and rider would go down in a heap and covered with dust, the gallant knight would mount his restless steed and be eft" to Join his comrades who were waging battle, in some other part of the quarter stretch, with as much seeming earnestness as ever the Knights of the Round Table fought for their gallant King Arthur. Legion No. 1 was charging at full tilt at Legion No. 2 when the stirrup of one Sir Knight broke and down he went right in front of the Knights who were following him. Luckily he escaped without any serious injury. The most skeptical need not be afraid of seeing a tame performance. If the grand tournament that is held before the Queen is even as exciting as yesterday's practice it will set the nerves of the audience tingling with excitement and keep their excitement keyed up to the highest pitch until the last blow is struck. All the armor Is being made by F. C. TJterman and will be complted by next Saturday. The shirts of mail are made of housands of small seel rings and it would be impossible for the strongest man to drive even the heav iest sword through them. The helmets are to be of beaten brass and will have a heavy visor. The first of the programme will be a lance contest. The riders going at full speed, charge up and down the track and with long sharp pointed lances they attempt to catch as many rings, suspended in air, as they can. Then with heavy lances they ride up and down trying to spear heavy wood en pegs driven into the earth. When one is impaled on the end of a lance the ri3er endeavors to pull the peg up, still riding at full speed. Then comes the sword contest. With heavy keen edged swords the knight3 slash at apples hung on strings and out of the five apples It is not unusual for 3 and 4 to be cut in halves as neatly as could it be done on a kitchen table. This part of the programme is short as it is for the purpose of showing the skill of the riders. Then comes the battle royal. G. G. Burton is the herald and as soon as he gets the two legions lined up in line of battle and gives the word to charge the fun commences in earn est. The tournrfment takes place Thurs day morning of Festival week and will be viewed by the Queen and her court. The following are the knights: H. A. TJterman, W. S. Buck, F. C. Buck.Clad Hamilton, B. F. Abmeyer. H. Voegtle, Dr. M. G. Cockey, A. Bishop. W. S. Eberle, E. Douglass. A. Douglass, li. Lyman and G. G. Burton. BICYCLES COME FIB.8T. This Insures the Wheel Feature of Floral Farads Plenty of Room. The bicycle feature of the Floral pa rade will be a success. The committee having the arrangements for the bicyc lists in charge have secured the prom ise of 12 floats from the local bicycle dealers. A large number have prom ised to enter the parade. This year the bicyclists will have the right of line in the Floral parade. This means that they will lead the procession. This is important, and a large number of bi cyclists should enter in this pretty fea ture. Five prizes for the bicyclists have been offered. All who can enter the parade should signify their intention to the Topeka Cycle company or to any of the other uptown dealers, or to Marshal H. L. Robinson. There is not much time left and the work will have to be done quickly. The bicyc lists' portion of the parade will be a success and it is only a question of making it a big one. There will prob ably be 500 wheelmen in line. ALL WANT BUTTONS. Karnival Knights May Find a Way to Greatly Increase Revenue. Harry Wells returned from Holton yesterday and reports the festival on the boom there. He took with him ten Karnival Knights buttons and sold them before he had got off the depot platform. He had to sell the one he wore to satisfy the crowd. At least 25 crowded around him and demanded buttons. Everybody is coming from Holton and they want buttons to wear in advance. As soon as the second con signment of buttons arrives a large quantity will be sent to Holton. The Karnival Knights have been wondering how they could sell more buttons. This is like a man in an or chard wondering how he is going to get the apples. Just reach up and pick them, would seem to be the easiest way. If the Knights want a full treasury they might send men with buttons to Junction City, Emporia, Abilene, Horton, Beloit and a score of other towns. Pretty nearly the whole eastern part of the state could be covered this week. IN THE FLORAL PARADE. Miss WhitDey Will Appear in the Thursday Proo ssion. One of the handsomest carriages in Topeka will be decorated for Miss Whitney of Chillicothe by the Karnival Knights and in it she will ride in the Floral parade. The floral decorations for the carriage will alone cost $100. Marshal Robinson today received no tice that Mrs. H. M. Hadley and Misses Santa and Fe Waters would decorate a surrpy and enter the Floral parade, and that Mrs. A. C. Keating would also en ter the parade. Mrs. Phi Adams, Mrs. J. W. F. Hughes and Mrs. H. M. Had ley will place saddle ponies in the pony division of the parade. A BRIGHT REFLECTION From the Abilene "Reflector" About the Big Kansas Jubilee.

Army circles are greatly Interested in the approach ing infantry and cavalry target com petitions which are to commence in the department of the Colorado within the next few days. Picked men from 30 companies of infantry are at Camp E. T. Jeffrey near Colorado Springs and crack shots from the cavalry are en route from Fort Wingate, N. M.,to take part in the cavalry tournament- Cali fornia and Texas send men to contest in the cavalry arm of the service. The contests are of special interest as this is the first annual meeting of skilled marksmen, in all the depart ments of the army since the new rifle ond the new firing regulation were adopted. The contests were not held last year, as the Krag-Jorgensen rifle had just come into use and the new gun required new firing regulations.To Capt. J. S. Mallory of the department of the Colorado, was accorded the responsibil ity of revising the regulations. The man gaining the highest score In each arm of the service is to receive a gold medal, the three marksmen stand ing next are to receive silver medals and bronze medals are to be distribu ted among the next six standing at the close of the contest. A board of officers has been detailed to take charge of the contest at Camp E. T. Jeffrey and Fort Wingate. Capt. C. B. Hoppin of the second cavalry will have charge of Fort Wingate and Capt. Charles Dodge of the twenty-fourth in fantry will have charge at Camp E. T. Jeffrey. Each contestant is given the opportunity of firing 160 shots with the carbine and SO with the revolver. The winner of a gold medal may, if he choose, receive in lieu of the medal, a rifle or carbine of special design and superior workmanship, provided with the most improved sights, which be comes his personal property. In even numbered years, it is pro posed to assemble the distinguished marksmen of the army in a competi tion, for which suitable medals will be awarded. The five men making the highest scores in each department will constitute the team of that department, and no man can take part after he ha3 won three medals or been three times a member of a department team. He will then be placed in a distinguished class no longer eligible for army competitions. The infantry programme at Colorado Springs is as follows: Preliminary first day, Sept. 20. Ten shots at rectangular targets at each of the ranges, 200, 300, 500 and 600 yards, 40 shots in all. Second Sept. 21.

INVITES GOVERNOR LEEDY. Enterprising ana Guileless Mr. Curry of Guenemo and His Stock Sale. J. C Curry of Quenemo has arranged for a public sale of stock in the near fu ture and he desires to have the occasion honored by the presence of the govern or, to whom he has addressed a long letter, enclosing a sale bill and an urg ent invitation to be present. Mr. Curry suggests that it is perhaps a long time since the governor attend ed a public sale. "You perhaps get tired of a continual feast of politics and the society if the men who always want something from you or want to give you something, principally advice, and an easy and profitable way to escape those environ ments would be to attend my sale," he says. "Here you will meet," continues the affable Mr. Curry, "a large section of the best men in this part of the state, including many honest Dunkards and all the prominent cattlemen from sur rounding states. "If you come unannounced I think it would be much better. In that way I will be able to assure you that you will not be pursued by persecuting poli ticians, and I will see to it that the great common people will not be driven away from their governor or deprived of the opportunity to visit and talk with him by that class of people." TO KEEP OUT ANTHRAX. TJ. S. Consuls Will Refuse Authenti cation in Infected Districts. Washington, Sept.20. Acting upon the request of secretary of agriculture, the treasury department has requested the secretary of state to instruct all consu lar officers of the United States to re fuse authentication of invoices of hides of neat cattle from districts in which anthrax exists. This request Is made in view of the fact that a number of deaths of human beings and cattle re cently occurred at Falls Creek, Pa., in consequence of the manipulation of hides in tanneries at that place.

CHEESBOROUGH, "Cashier." Nothing definite can be learned aa to the bank's liabilities and assets. JOHN" M'CULLAG IT. THE NEW CHIEF OF POLICE OF NEW YORK CITY4 SYMPATHY FOR BANKERS Leads Kindly Disposed Persons to Suggest Means of Relief The fact that the Kansas banks are overrun with demands to accept money on deposit has opened the eyes of the brokers of the east and already fifty banks in the state have been offered a new use for the money of the Kansas farmers and stock men. The Jacob Dold Packing company of Kansas City was the first to suggest the plan which consists in floating com mercial paper, well secured. me scheme is to issue this commer cial paper to the bankers who in turn shall loan the surplus money which they secure on deposits. In this way the banks will be relieved of the re sponsibility of taking care of the vast sums of money which they are now de clining to accept as deposits. The plan is being very generally dis cussed among the financial men. It would seem if the banks are Just groaning and shrieking under the amount of money poured in on them. that the system of postal savings banks suggested by Postmaster Gary might relieve them of the burden. Nobody wants the banks to suffer in this mat ter. They have the heartfelt sympathy of the public BEAT THE WITCHES. Priests of the Zuni Tribe Arrested for Mistreating Women. Fort Wingate, N. M., Sept. 20. Under escort of three troops of cavalry, com manded by Maj.

Senator Elkins is the Pirst Man to Show Interest in the Discrim inating Duty. Washington, Sept. 20. The White House throngs had a last opportunity to see the president today, as the cab inet meeting tomorrow will cut off most of the visitors and it is expected that the president will leave tomorrow even ing for North Adams, Mass., where he will be the guest of Mr. Plunkett, an extensive woolen manufacturer. The train arrangements for the trip are be ing made today. Assistant Secretary of State Day call ed during the morning and was with the president for an hour. Gen. Alger came over from the war department accom panied by P. B. Weare of the Alaska Trading company, for the purpose of completing arrangements for relief measures for the Klondike country. Senators Thurston and Elkins call ed, the latter desiring to have a word with the president concerning the dis criminating tariff duties before the ap pearance of the attorney general's opin ion, which is expected later in the day, according to the understanding at the White Houfc Other callers were Representative Marsh of Illinois, P. V. Corliss of Mich igan, ex-Representative McCreary of Kentucky and Judson Lyons, colored, the candiate for the Augusta, Ga., post mastership. The killing of the colored postmaster at Hogansville, Va., was the subject of much comment among the representative colored men who called on the president. One of them. Nation al Committeeman Hill of Mississippi, who was postmaster at Vicksburg un der the Harrison administration, said that the Hogansville incident was in no wise characteristic of the attitude of the people of the south. The racial feeling had been largely overcome, he said and such as existed was confined to the smaller communities. The choice of colored officials would not, he said lead to any general opposition so long as the men named were capable. Everybody Bays So.

I CASE OF VON VALTHEIM. Murder of an American Consul Devel opes a Strange Career. New York, Sept. 20. A dispatch to the World from London says: Scotland yard is now endeavoring to trace the murderer or murderers or Moritz Wilhelm Von Valtheim, a natur alized American citizen, and from 1893 to 1896 the American consul at Santa Matra. Colombia. On August 5 the naked body of a man six feet four inches in height was found floating in the Thames in the vicinity of the docks. A strong lanyard rope was wound tightly around the neck and down the back, tying the hands and then securely fastened to the ankles. The body, it was declared, had been in the water a month, and the doctors affirmed that death was caused by strangulation be fore immersion. The police content with the verdict of the coroner's jury, consigned the body to a pauper's grave in Ilford cem etery. About two weeks ago Mine. Von Valtheim applied to the home sec retary for an order to have the body exhumed, as she believed it to be that of her husband. She said she had lost sight of him early in the year and that soon afterwards he had bigamouely married a Greek lady, Marie Magrover dato, whom he met at Bloomsbury boarding house. The body was exhumed last Friday night and Mme. Valtheim immediately identified it as that of her husband. Von Valtheim had had a remarkable career. Born in the north of Ger many, he began life in the German na vy and then fought as a volunteer for Bulgaria against Servia. Subsequent ly, he tramped across the Australian continent. He jmarried his first wife, a Miss Yearsley, at Perth Western Australia, in 18SC. Afterwards he set tled in the United States. Then he went into the banana trade at Santa Martia where he was appointed U. S. marshal. Von Valtheim's second wife, discovering that he had another wife living, had begun proceedings to nul lify her marriage, but they were post poned on information that Von Val theim had gone to Madagascar. How ever, a decree of nullifying the mar riage was granted in July. How the body came in the river is a complete mystery. But it is surmised that Von Valtheim was thrown overboard from some fareign ship. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE? Saturday's Newton Daily Republican contains the following: "Thursday will be the floral day. Those who were at this event last year said it was the finest ever seen in the west, sur passing either the famous Mardi Gras of New Orleans, the Veiled Prohpets of St, Louis or the Floral Fiesta of Los An geles. Then what will it be this year, with all that Is being done to make it excel by far last year's grand affair?" This little paragraph expresses the ex pectations of every one of the 100,000 vis itors who are coming to Topeka. While the floral parade will be splendid, nothing should be left undone to make it come up to the highest expectations of our visit ors. Have you done your share? Have you prepared to decorate your carriage or vehicle? It is hoped that you have not been one of those mean-spirited persons who so far forgot the glory of their own town as to go about sneering about the floral parade and trying to injure it. There have been some people in Topeka unjust enough to do this. They are doubt less ashamed of it now and will do all they can to make amends for their con duct. The floral parade is going to be three miles long, beyond a doubt. Make it five miles! The Ward Will Fight Judge Hazen today refused to allow the transfer of the suit contesting the Ward will to the federal court. Mrs. Ross, who lives in Illinois, made the ap plication, but Judge Hazen decided that it is not such a case as may be taken to the United States court. This is the suit in which the children of Mrs. Mary J. Ward, who died a year ago. are seek ing to have the will set aside. They were not satisfied with the division of the property. An effort will be made to prevent the entire estate being used up in lawyers' fees. Relief ii Six Hours.

The seeker after roey cheeks may Ull a whole cupboard with lotions, and spend half of her rime in the beautify ing bathtub, but success will not crown her efforxn artrbeauty unless she turns her- attention' also to her die list. Clear complexions do not wait on the fickle, nor rosy cheeks on the morning; griddle ake. The woman, who intends to have a good complexion must make a careful study of the food queetion. It goes with out saying that sugary substances must largely be banished from the bill of fare. Candies are, of course, excluded. Cakes follow in their wake. As for pies and all other compounds of flour end grease, they are fatal to clear sikdns. Bread thatt is doughy or Starchy should rank almost as low as peetry in tie estimation of the seeker after good looks. Alcoholic drinks are banished ul mctst entirely, their effect even in small quantities being a mild form of coo gestion of blood in the face, which eventually coarsens the texture as well as ruins the color of the skin. For somewhat similar reasons all sorts of narcotics and stimulants ere to be avoided. Dor whatever excites the nerves or overheats the blood tends to ward the final destruction of the smooth peachy texture which is the chief of eveiry woman's ambition, to at tain. Whatever has the effect of produc ing a healthy action of the digesftive or gans is good for the complexion. Acid and laxative fruits especially, if taken at breakfast, are good. Entire wheat bread and toast rank high a&raong tbe bread beauitiflers. Bled and juicy meats, green vegetables, milk and eggs are all conducive to the attaining of a brilliant complexion, Q. H.

This calls the icook to the 'phone andithe lady of the house may give her orders in an under tone and even in a whisper, which will be plainly understood by the cook. The mouthpiece is a simplified microphone, the membrane being placedi just a lit tle above a very small electric magnet. (The same magnet is used for the push button. In other respects this installa tion does not differ from the ordinary microphone, and its rapid popularity in Germany will be understood when it is stated that the manufacturers sell the apparatus, together with 250 feet of wire, for about eight dollars.

He gives some details for the movement on foot looking- to the sale by the full blood Choctaws of all their rights in the In dian Territory, and me removal of the entire tribe to a. tract of land In Old Mexico. The new home lies In a valley on the west, and measures 150 miles in lengrth by 40 miles in width. It is rep resented to be a beautiful valley, and of ample territory to give all the Choc taws homes. Jacob Jackson, the defeated candidate for principal chief, is to lead the tribe to the new land. The details of the plan by which the exchange of lands in Mexico for the Choctaw rights in the Territory is to be made are not yet given to the public but Mr. Hudson says that several of the most influential warriors and headmen of the nation are in the movement and fully expect the deal to be consummat ed. PENNSYLVANIA STOCK BOOM Shares Iteach the Highest Point in Ten Years. Philadelphia, Sept. 20. The report that J. Piei-pont Morgan of New York was endeavoring to harmonize the an thracite coal interests by securing large holdings in the Pennsylvania Railroad company, had the effect of sending- up the price of shares in that company from 57 to 59. This is the highest point reached by Pennsylvania stock since 18S7. Today's sales amounted to 13,000 shares.nearly all of which were bought for New York people, most of them, it Is supposed, by Air. Morgan. While the Pennsylvania railroad is not actually a competitor in the an thracite coal market, its influence would seriously affect the Reading should the matter be put to a test, and Mr. Mor gan is said to be securing his Reading property by buying large holdings in Pennsylvania. Otficials of the latter company said today they knew nothirrg of the reports concerning Mr. Morgan. DROWNING AT NIAGARA. Bteps to Be Taken to Prevent Loss of Human Life. Niagara Falls, Sept. 20.

Macklen has addressed a let ter to Gov. Black, in which he advo cates stretching a light wire cable across the river just above the danger line, which is below the line of navi gation. He would run a light metal or rub ter tube with bufbs at intervals along the cable. He also advocates the use of incandescent lights along the cable eo that it could be seen at night. A letter from Wm. N. Griffith, the governor's private secretary, approves the plan, and expresses the opinion that steps should be taken in the matter jointly by the state of New York and the Dominion government.

London, Sept" 20. The old frigate "President," captured by the British oft Long Island in the war of 1812, may become a subject of diplomatic negotia tion. Since the success of Ambassador Bayard in securing the restoration to the United States of the Mayflower log, several letters received at the American embassy call attention to the old"Pres ldent," asking if some means cannot be devised for securing her return. Thus far the embassy has taken no action in the matter. The President lies at the West India docks in London, where she is used as a drill ship for the naval reserves. The frigate is kept in excellent order and the figurehead of John Adams is bright with gold. At the time of her capture, when com manded by the gallant Decatur, she was the largest frigate in the world, carry ing 60 guns, and only surrendered after 100 Americans of her crew had been killed and when a second British fri gate came to the aid of the Endymion. Today, however, Decatur's flagship looks like a toy vessel. She is less than 2,000 tons and bears no evidence of the terrific cannonading she sustained.Eve ry plank seems to be as sound as when the vessel was launched. At the admiralty office, however, doubts were expressed that she could cross the Atlantic without going to pieces. Apropos this subject, an Eng lishmen writes to the Times, asking what Great Britain is to get for the re turn of the Mayflower log, suggesting a general exchange of war trophies to cement friendship. 'The United States," this writer says "should give up the flags and the wood en lion now held at Annapolis, which were captured from the British." FEAR FOR MRS. ALTGELD She is Seriously Stricken by Neuralgia. Chicago, Sept. 20. Mrs. John P. Alt geld is lying at the family apartments. 1886 Diversey avenue, seriously ill with neuralgia.

Her condition is considered dangerous by friends, although the at tending physicians declare there is no doubt of her recovery. SOFT SNAPS FOB CONVICTS. They Commit Crimes to Get Good. Long Sentences. Weldon, N. C, Sept. 20. All the available convict labor from the peni tentiary at Raleigh has been, sent to the state farm. The convict3 brought to the slate farm near this city are to as sist in picking out the cotton, over 50, 000 acres of which the state has under cultivation on this one farm alone. About 1.000 convicts will be at work in the white fields at this farm, and the state expects to harvest over 25,000 bales of the staple, as the river bottom land on the Roanoke is above the aver age in cotton producing in this state. On the farms owned and worked by the state over 2,000 convicts are em ployed at present. Unlike Georgia and some other southern states. North Car olina does not let out its convicts to pri vate persons or corporations. They are uniformly well treated so well treated, in fact, that in several cases ex-convicts have committed some crime to get back. Such a case occurred last week, and when the culprit (who stole a hammer or some article which constituted petty larceny only) was sentenced to the county chain gang for 30 days, instead of to the penitentiary for three to five years, he expressed his disappointment. MARSHALL FIELD'S GIFT. I To Give a Valuable Building Site to a Chicago Church. Chicago, Sept 20. Much interest has been awakened in Kenwood religious circles recently by the rumors that Mar shall Field has signified his intention of giving a large piece of property on the east side of Drexel boulevard. near Forty-seventh street, to the congregation of the Kenwood Presbyterian church and that ground would be broken for the erection of a $250,000 church within a few months. Several times during the last year a similar rumor has been current, but entire reliance Is put in the truthfulness of the report this time owing to the fact that Dr. J. H. Bar rows, who was the founder of the church and who has just accepted a call to its pulpit, is known to be a close friend and adviser of the millionaire. Mr. Field and Dr. Barrows are both out of the city at present, but several members of the Kenwood congregation, who claim to be in a position to know the affairs of the church, express them selves as positive that negotiations are in progress for the purchase of the property desired for the site of the new church, and that as soon as the proper ty is secured it will be transferred, ti tle free, to the congregation. GUITEAL'S SISTER ILL. Mrs. Frances M. Norton at Her Home in a Critical Condition. Chicago, Sept. 20. Mrs. Frances M. Norton, formerly Mrs. Seoville, whose devotion to her unfortunate brother, Chas. J. Guiteau, is so well known, is suffering a relapse after an attack of nervous prostration, complicated with neuralgia of the stomach. Mrs. Norton is at her home, 1190 East Englewood avenue, and she has been sick for sev eral weeks.

Eddy, the kite man, who has for a week or two been making sky photographs of the capitol and other public buildings in Washington, says he has perfected a device by which aerial vitas cope pic tures of cities, street scenes, battle fields and parades and landscapes may be taken. "The vitascope consists of a light frame work covered with thin black pa per," the kite flyer explains. "Its top is a gable roof at the apex of which ia a mirror, which can be turned in any direction. Below the mirror and enter ing the interior of the vitascope is a 21 inch photographic lens, which re ceives the reflection in the mirror, and throws it in turn on a large square plate of paraffin, or, what is better, a trans parent plate of celluloid. "The vitascope, which is five feet In height and three in diameter and weighs five pounds, is raised 300 feet in the air by my kites, and observers, lying on their backs on the grass, may see the entire landscape, which is re flected in the mirror reproduced on the paraffin plate in all its natural colors and every movement. "I made the first experiment August 21 last and a public test which was successful, August 28. Everything an imate and inanimate as far as the hori zon which was caught by the mirror was reproduced on the paraffin. By manipulating the mirror the entire panorama included within the whole horizon can be slowly reproduced." SHORTER SCHOOL HOURS.- Five and a Half Hours Allotted for Study at Milwaukee. Milwaukee, Sept. 20. A reduction has been made in the length of time to be given to public school work in this city. Hereafter five and a half hours will constitute a day's work. The change has been under contem nlation for some time, as the school di rectors have thought that the longer hours are wearing on the pupils ana ao not add materially to the amount of work they can accomplish. The study hours have been hereto fore six hours for part of the year and five and three-quarter hours the re mainder of the time. These hours are longer than are cus tomary in most cities, and the change here is considered in line with improv ed educational methods. The question of the change was left with the directors and the superintend ent, each director to decide for his own ward what the hours should be. Super intendent Seifert was, however, such a strong advocate of the shorter period that his advice ha prevailed in every case. CHILK00TPASS TRIP. David Brown Breaks the Record Indian Carriers Strike.

The Topeka Baseball Association Owes $90 Rent With the disbanding of the Topeka tiasehall club with a few bills un paid an item of expense amounting to $90 was entirely overlooked. This was i for rent of Athletic park. The park was rented for $100 for the season. The agent did not care to run the risk of trusting a ball organization, so when Manager J. F. Myers went to secure a lease he was told that he would be held responsible. He paid $10 to secure it and the remainder was to be due July 4. Speaking of it Mr. Myers said: "I didn't think much about it at the time, but the other day Mr. Quinton came down and asked me if that $90 balance was ready. Then I remembered about it. I have spent two summers rust ling for that ball club and this summer spent $25 of my own money for it. Now I will have to raise that $90 out of my own pocket, for I expect he will hold me to the agreement. Don't it beat the band about baseball in Topeka?" ACCUSED OF ABDUCTION.
