TWO CENTS. TOPEKA, KANSAS, SEPTEMBER 21, 1897. TUESDAY EVENING. TWO CENTS. STANDJY KING. Santa Fe Holds Coroner's Jury in Contempt In the Inquest on the Wreck at Lang. YEKDICT IS ABSURD la the Opinion of Experienced Railroad Men. Santa Fe Official Investigation Not Ended. As far as the Santa Fe officials are concerned, the coroner's inquest at Em poria to determine the responsibility of the Santa Fe wreck near Lang, night as -well never been held. They refuse to accept the decision of the ju ry, and give as a reason that the jur ors must necessarily have been laboring under misinformation to make the statements made In the verdict. In regard to the verdict Assistant Superintendent Avery Turner said to day: "The verdict states that Dispatcher King is responsible for the wreck be cause he changed orders in violation of the rules of the company I wish to say that Dispatcher King did not make a move in violation of the company's rules. Mr. King changed the meeting point of the two trains from Emporia to Lang in exact accordance with the rules of the company, and more than that he warned the trainmen of train No. 1 to look out for signals at Lang. There is no absolute statement made in the verdict, but the Inference is that the jurors held that the men on No. 1 ran by the real signal. In reference to the statement that the appliances at Lang station were deficient because the agent was not supplied with torpedoes and fusees. I want to state that no nsent is supplied with torpedoes and fusees because the company forbids the explosion of either near a depot platform. They are dangerous and li able to injure persons. The agent at Lang was supplied with a signal lan tern, and some of the witnesses stated that he waived it after the train. The official investigation conducted by the Santa Fe officials will open the latter part of this week. EXPORTS FOB AFRICA. English Company in Cape Town to Purchase in the XT. S. Chicago, Sept. 21. American exports are, according to Louis Halle, editor of the American Adviser, likely to be very largely increased. Mr. Halle has just come from a tour of investigation through all the great manufacturing and commercial centers of the United States. He was accom panied by the representative of an English syndicate which appears to have unlimited means at Its disposal and which proposes to go into the im portation of American goods and Amer ican machinery on a. very extensive scale. The company has heavy interests in Cape Town, Johannesburg and owns 8.000 square miles of land in the Mate bele country, in which it has its own traders carrying, on business. The company is making large purchases of supplies for export to England and South America, the list including toys, playing cards, pencils, matches and tin ned goods, all of American manufact ure. It deals in provisions and meats. Mr. Halle has been appointed purch asing agent in this country for this syn dicate. BRIGHT LIGHT FOR BRIDGE Kansas Avenue Bridge Will be Well Lighted by Electricity. The new Kansas avenue bridge will be lighted with arc lights. The board of county commissioners and the eom mittee on light of the city council held a meeting last night and made that agreement. The plans for the bridge provide that it shall be lighted from 12 lamp posts with three incandescent lights on each post. Superintendent Hinckley recom mended that this plan should be follow ed but the council committee could not see it that way. Four light poles 24 feet high will be placed on the bridge each surmounted by an arc light if the city council adopts the plan agreed upon by the sub-committee. This plan will keep the wires of the Edison company off the bridge as the county commissioners have bepn wait ing for the action of the council on the light question. LEGALIZED SPARRING. Mayor Harrison Says Give the Peo ple What They Want. Chicago, Aug. 21. Sparring contests under police supervision are the allur ing prospect which is now held out to lovers of the sport. Mayor Harrison has liberal views on the subject and has expressed himself in favor of such exhibitions within proper restrictions. In speaking of the matter Mayor Harrison said: "I see no objection to this form of sport unless it is carried too far. If the people want it, I believe they should be allowed to have it. There is no harm in permitting scientific spar ring and wrestling entertainments. I think they are a good thing, and fail to Bee any reason why they should not be pemitted within proper regulation. Of course, I do not approve of prize fighting or slugging contests, and I want it understood that nothing of this kind will be tolerated during my term." HUNT GOLD IN BLOOMERS. Six Oakland Women Return Loaded With Ore Samples San Francisco, Sept. 21. Six Oakland women have returned from a search for gold mines in the mountains of Shasta county. For two weeks they tramped in bloomers over hills, through canyons, fording creeks, etc. They are back with a record of seven placer and quartz mines located. The women are Mrs. May Mauvais, Mrs. Martha D. Hume, Mrs. Alma Ha den, Mrs. J. Hughes, Mrs. Etta De moyx and Mrs. Lelia Herron. They left Oakland, each one fully equipped with miners outfits. They returned with hundreds of pounds of ore sam ples and gold panned from a placer RAILROADS ADMIT IT. Confess That They Save Eeen Fav oring Big Shippers, Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 21. The hearing of the case of the American Warehousemen's association, against the Illinois Central railway and sixty six other great trunk lines of the United States was begun in the federal building yesterday before J. D. Toe mans of Sioux City, Iowa, a member of the interstate commerce commission. The hearing here relates only to the lines running from Kansas City. The American Warehousemen's asso ciation has complained to the commis sion that the railroads of the country, since they have been prevented by the interstate commerce act from favoring their heavy shippers with rebates in freight rates, have continued to show favoritism by granting to these large shippers the privilege of free storage in their freight warehouses. By this means railroad warehouse companies are cut off from a large volume of busi ness and therefore the association has made complaint to the interstate com merce commission. E. K. Summerwell, of New Tork, at torney representing the Warehouse men's association said today that the case is probably the most important ever brought before the commission. Local freight agents of the Union Pa cific, Rock Island, Wabash, C. M. St. Paul and the Chicago Great Western, appeared before the commission. All admitted that their big customers have been receiving accommodation in stor ing for which the railroad was not compensated. BOMBS IN THE PATH. German and Austrian Emperors in a Cloud of Dust. London, Sept. 21. A dispatch to the Daily Mail from Vienna says: It is reported that as Emperor William and Emperor Francis were leaving the station at Buda Pest a sharp detonation was heard, which was followed by a thick cloud of dust and smoke. The crowd took fright, broke through the mil itary cordon and swarmed around the im perial carriages. Emperor Francis Joseph was greatly agitated and shouted to the police to keep back the people. Some arrests are reported, but owing to the silence main tained by the officials it is difficult to ascertain details of the affair. The NeusWeiner Journal was confiscated for publishing telegrams as to the occur rence. CHICAGO ISN'T AFRAID. Will Continue to Keceive Refugees From the Fever Districts. Chicago, Sept. 21. The report that two cases of yellow fever have been discovered at Cairo. 111. has not alarmed Chicago health officials. Health Commissioner Reynolds doubts that the cases at Cairo are yellow fever, and be lieves they are either malaria or"break bone fever." He has no intention of rescinding his proclamation welcoming southern refugees to Chicago. In discussing the situation Dr. Rey nolds said: "There is absolutely no cause for alarm in Chicago, and we should welcome refugees from thl in fected districts. Even if the di sease should be imported into Chicago it could not spread. Our climate would act as a barrier against the contagion, and it would disappear as quickly as it came. Two physicians who saw the patients at Cairo pronounced the -disease malaria. Another physician diag nosticated the disease as yellow fever. I am inclined to believe the disease is not genuine yellow fever." General Superintendent Sullivan of the Illinois Central said the prevalence of yellow fever in the south necessita ted no change in through service, ex cept as far as compliance with the quarantine and Illinois board of health requirements. For the protection of the state Dr. J. A. Egan, the board's executive officer, has issued orders hat no passengers or railroad employes from the infected states shall be permitted to leave trains at any point in Illinois south of the line made by the Baltimore Ohio Southwestern railroad, from Vincennes, Ind., to East St. Louis. North of this barrier passengers with clean bills of health signed by the proper authorities may be admitted. BRINGS BACK THE DEAD. Robert Cummings, Supposed to be Dead, Will Come to the Festival. Robert L. Cummings, the horse-sho-er, formerly a Topeka boy, supposed to be dead, will arrive home one week from next Thursday to visit his mother and attend a part of the festival. The young man is now working at his trade in Colorado Springs. The mother lives at E10 Monroe street. In July 1896 the young man's folks re ceived word that he had been killed by being pushed from a train by a brake man at Hutchinson. Although that im pression i3 held at this time by many of his acquaintances, the boy's mother had been informed that the report vas incorrect; that her son was alive and that the body found was that of a, tramp. Leaving Hutchinson Cum mings went to Colorado Springs where, he has since been at work. Ray Evans of the stereotyping de partment of the Colorado Springs Ga zette who is visiting in Topeka brought the information concerning the return of Cummings to Topeka. ON HER OWN DOORSTEP. Miss Orxne Narrowly Escapes Assas sination. London, Sept. 21. Some excitement and considerable comment has been caused in musical circles by what ap pears to be an attempt to assassinate Miss Ilda Orme, the song writer, author of "A Lesson in Kissing," which Louise Baudette has recently made famous in the United States. Miss Orme was, according to the story told, entering her residence at 1 o'clock Saturday morning last, when a man came up to her and asked for assist ance. Miss Orme says she gave him a shill ing and that then without a word of ex planation, the man drew a revolver and fired at her, the bullet traversing her right breast and setting her blouse on fire. Miss Orme's asailant fled and has not been arrested. The wound inflicted is not a dangerous one. When questioned as to the motive of the seemingly murderous assault. Miss Orme attributed it to a continuance of alleged persecutions to which she says she has been subjected for ten years past at the hands of a "millionaire Bos ton lawyer," M'KINLrTS PERIL A Man is Arrested at the White Honse Door. Was HeaTily Armed and Trying to Get In. HAD MADE THREATS Regarding His Intentions To wards a Government Official. The President Did Not Go Out As He Intended. AVOIDED AN ATTACK By Being Detained by a Num ber of Visitors. Washington, Sept.21. Joseph Bloom field Jackson, who is said to be a crank from Meriden, Conn., was arrested last night at the door of the White House after an unsuccessful effort to enter the executive mansion. Jackson was heavily armed. He has been in the city several days, and at the Raleigh House, where lie stopped has made mysterious boasts as to what he was going to do to a high official of the government. He sent a letter to a local newspaper containing similar threats. He has been under espionage for several days, and is now behind the bars. Cranks of all grades are common about t'he president's home, and the of ficers thought nothing of the arrest un til on searching the man they found the loaded revolver. Only a charge of va grancy and carrying concealed weapons can be made against him, and his treat ment will not be materially different from that given to hundreds of other cranks removed from the White House grounds without disturbances, but there is nevertheless the fear and belief that President McKinley might, if he had driven out in the afternoon instead of receiving some visitors, have been at tacked and perhaps shot as he entered his carriage. It is thought Jackson's mind is unbalanced. WASHED OUT OF BED. Ahumada, Texas, Experiences the Heaviest Rainfall in its History. Dallas, Tex., Sept. 21. A special to the News from El Paso, Tex., says: At 10 o'clock last night the people of Ahumada, about 50 miles south of this city, were visited by the worst flood that ever happened in the history of the state. Men, women and children were driven rrom their beds and had to take refuge on the high ground with their household effects. There was not a place to shelter them, many houses in town tumbling down in great heaps, and many more are expected to collapse any moment. The water stands four and five feet In the houses and the country is flood ed for miles around. Carmen river has overflowed its banks. Unless relief comes soon, women and children will be in a sad plight, as it is raining hard and another bad night seems inevitable. THE MINISTERS OBJECT. Want Work on the Federal Building Stopped on Sunday. Chicago, Sept. 21. Presbyterian min isters of Chicago are indignant over the fact that the work of excavating and putting in the foundation for the new federal building at Clark and Jackson streets is being prosecuted on Sunday.

The ministers are confident that the federal authorities will act favorably in the matter. RACE AROUND THE HORN. Winning Time 122 Days From San Francisco to New York. San Francisco, Sept. 21.

Fire and Explosion Work Ruin and Destruction. Pendleton, Ore., Sept. 21. The Pen dleton Roller mills, with a capacity of 500 barrels, owned by W. S. Byers.were destroyed by fire last night. The loss will reach $200,000, The fire is supposed to have started in a small smut room on the first story at the south end of the building. It spread very rapidly and the large build ing was a mass. of flames before the de partment arrived and nothing could be done except to save the adjoining prop erty. At one time the $80,000 court house on the block opposite was smoking, but the mill walls fell in and the firemen were able to save the court house. The contents of the stone warehouse near the mill were greatly damaged and al most ruined and a corrugated iron warehouse was totally destroyed. In the mill elevator 60,000 bushels of wheat were burned and in the stone ware house 25,000 bushels of wheat and 2,000 barrels of flour.

Loss, $100,000; part ly insured. TOPEKft MUST ACT. More Must be Done at Once to Take Care of the Crowd. Something definite should be under stood by the people of Topeka along the line of sanitary conveniences for the 100,000 or more visitors who will be in Topeka next week. Topeka is a city of good sanitary arrangements ordinarily, but with the addition of the immense crowd which will be here next week the conveniences will be only too few for the demand. Every busines shouse and every residence which has sanitary conveniences should make them free to the public. It may be disagreeable.but it is absolutely necessary. Public toilet rooms should be arrang ed wherever possible. For the accom modation of 100.000 people arrangements should be made for their comfort and for their necessities. Experience at the World's fair showed that too many toilet rooms and sanitary conveniences could not be supplied. In out of way places, but easy of access by the crowds, sanitary buildings should be supplied. Ice water will be supplied to the crowds by the management at conven ient places along the streets. But the question of furnishing filter wants and necessities of humanity,1-it is feared. has not been attended to properly. There is no use trying to avoid the question, for if the sanitary arrangements in a city are not sufficient in number and in accessibility, the crowds will suffer and great inconvenience will be caused. The Committee of Fifteen has its hands full in making arrangements, but some sort of arrangements should be made along the line here suggested. The question is not easy of solution, but a great amount can be done by individual effort. All toilet rooms in the city, both in the business portion of the city and also in the residence portions, where the crowds will move, should be designated by some sign or notice. The crowds should be afforded every convenience possible, and it is the duty of everyone to take this matter in hand and by in dividual effort help out in the arrange ments. A gentleman who has handled large crowds expresses great fears that this time Topeka has undertaken more than she can take care of. It is hoped he is mistaken, but every effort should be made to do- our best In this particular. He says Topeka can easily take care of 50 000 people, but every additional thou sand will make the problem more dif ficult Wre should be prepared for ev erything. Enough sleeping room should be provided. If necessary, every church in the city should be thrown open and provided with cots. All lodge rooms and vacant buildings should be likewise kept in readiness to use for that pur pose if necessary. In case of a. heavy rain the 100.000 visitors will have to be housed or there will be great suffering. The people are coming; the entertain ments are ready. Now, our entire en ergies must be bent on properly taking care of them. "A VIRGINIA COURTSHIP" Hob Its First Night at the Baldwin and Scores a Success. San Francisco, Sept. 21. Eugene W. Fresbrey's new comedy "A Virginia Courtship," was presented at the Bald win theater last night by W. H. Crane for the first time on any stage. The comedy is in three acts and be ing set in the early portion of the cen tury, presents opportunities for hand some and picturesque costuming which the producer was careful to take ad vantage of. The story of the play is one in which love and intrigue are features. A pep pery old major, whose illustrious an cestor -was one of the first settlers in the colony of Virginia, quarreled with his neighbor, a French widow. The latter has a daughter, the former a son, who plight their troth, and after many vicissitudes the widow and the major adjust their differences and the former sets her cap at the gallant old soldier. Judging from the reception accorded to both play and author, its success is already assured. Some of the scenes were heartily appreciated and vigor ously applauded. Have You BeeD There Yet? There are many delightful resorts in New Mexico, but none excelling Las Vegas Hot Springs. The Montezuma hotel is really just a little the nicest of its class in the southwest. If you are well, run up there for a few days' out ing. If sick, no better place to get well all kinds of baths, expert medical at tendance, etc. Railroad and hotel rates reasonable. W. C. Garvey, Agent, A, T. S. F. Railway. PROVING MOTIVE.

The Prosecution in the Trial of Adolph Luetgert Brings Witnesses to Prove At tentions to Other Women. THE OLD MAN WAS GAY His Conduct Was Displeasing to Mrs. Luetgert And for This Reason It Is Al leged He Got Rid of Her. Chicago. Sept. 21. The prosecution scored an important point in the Luet gert case this morning. Judge Tuthill ruled that the motive evidence of Frank Bialk and Frank Odorofsky, formerly employes of the sausage maker was ad missable as long as it was direct. This was the matter taken under advisement last Saturday. The evidence of these two men is in relation to the frequent visits to Luetgert's sausage factory of Mary Siemmenng. Luetgert's servant. it ts tne theory of the state that Luet gert's alleged attentions to other wo men was the original cause of the trou ble with his wife and his persistence in open flirtations with other women cul minated in a continued warfare be tween husband and wife. Luetgert, it is believed by the prosecution in order to pursue his course undisturbed con ceived the idea of getting rid of his wife and did so. Frank Bialk, the aged watchman at the Luetgert sausage factory who, be sides watching the premises at night, kept fires burning in the furnaces, was the first witness called this morning to show the motive. He said that Mary Siemmering paid frequent visits to Lu etgert in the latter's office in the sau sage factory at night. Luetgert. be cause of his unpleasant domestic affairs had a bed placed in a small room just off his office and slept there. The last time the witness remembered seeing Mary Siemmering there was one week before May 1. the date of the disap pearance of Mrs. Luetgert. It was 9:30 o'clock in the evening and Luetgert and the young woman retired to the bed room and closed the door. The witness said that Mary Siemmerig visited Luet gert on an average of three nights each .week for months before Mrs. Luetgert disappeared. This had been going on for three or four years before May 1, of the present year. Upon one occasion, the witness said Luetgert called him about 10 o'clock at night and told him to go and get Mary and Luetgert said he was ill. Bialk said he went to Mary's bed room win dow and tapped upon it with a stick. When she appeared he told her Luet gert wanted her. She soon appeared at the sausage factory and entered through a window and went to Luet gert's bed room. Ex-Judge Vincent sharply cross-examined Bialk. He asked him if he had not been constantly with Detective Klinger since a month before the trial opened and the witness said he had. Then the lawyer wanted to know if he was not telling a story which had been prepared for him by the prosecution. The old man shook his head slowly and replied: "No; I am telling the God's truth." Frank Odorofsky testified to sub stantially the same story. The prosecution in the famous case closed its evidence with the testimony of Bialk and Odorofsky and the battle of the defense began with the opening statement by Luetgert's attorneys. The defense will Introduce evidence in an attempt to show that Mrs. Luetgert is alive and in Germany. SHOE LASTERS WIN. Strike at Brockton, Mass., Comes to an End. Brockton, Mass., Sept. 21. The great lasters' strike which began last Satur day at the Churchill and Allen factory in this city and rapialy extended to factories in this city and others in neighboring towns, was settled last night, and it is the belief that the strik ers won. For two days the manufacturers have worked hard with Mr. Shaw to get him to sign an agreement which was put in at the beginning, and today he yielded. The agreement says that the Chase Ma chine company will not operate ma chines In the Churchill and Allen fac tory until the matter of prices is sat isfactorily settled and that it will not furnish its agents to last shoes in case of any dispute between the manufac turers and lasters' unions regarding the price of lasting unless an attempt is made to discriminate against the com pany by raising the price of labor on the Chase machines above the present union prices or lowering of prices on competitive machines. SHOULD TAKE WARNING. Boy o! Good Family Who Fell by the Wayside. Last night at 10:45 p. m. Patrolman Woods found a Topeka boy of excellent parentage and family in a beastly state of intoxication near the Union Pacific de pot. The lad was not of age, but he had imbibed liquor too freely and he didn't know where he was, and In fact very little else. He was taken to the police station and locked up. Judge Atch ison this morning fined him $3. Today while in jail the young man said: "I went to North Topeka and drank some whisk v. Soon I didn't know anything. Don't say anything about it. I'll never drinK anotner crop. jrxienas raisea money for his release. SHE SPEAKS FOR KANSAS. Sirs. Dewey Considers it a Good place to Emigrate To. Chicago. Sept. 21.

No damage was done, STRIKE ENDS TODAY. 75,000 Coal Miners Will Return to Work in Bituminous Districts. Washington, Sept 21. M. D. Ratch ford, president of the United Mine Workers of America, who is here to at tend a special meeting of the officers of the Federation of Labor, gave the fol lowing authorized statement to the As sociated Press today: "Today will see about 75,000 miners resume work in the bituminous coal fields of the central states. The strike generally ends today. This is the middle of the twelfth week of its duration. It was brought to a close at our conven tion held at Columbus, O., on the 8th to the 11th of the present month, the ten days time being given to allow miners and operators to come together in Illinois and West Virginia to meet the prices fixed 65 cents a ton in Pitts burg, 56 cents in Ohio and Indiana, the same to continue till the end of Decem ber. The mining situation is not likely to become disturbed again until the be ginning of next year, at which time we hope to be able to settle wage differ ences amicably and without the neces sity of a strike. It is well understood that the fight will continue from the present time in all fields and against all operators, who refuse to meet the rates. The greatest trouble will be found in West Virginia and a portion of Illinois. I am still hopeful, however, that the producers in those fields will conform to the change and put their mines in operation. Failing to do this, we will fight them as we have done until the beginning of next year, at which time it is said their present contracts will expire." MONSTER MEETING Of National Creamery Proprie tors in Topeka Next February. A decided effort is being made to have the annual National Creamery convention held in Topeka in February, 1898.

A Topeka gentleman who has a team of handsome ponies has already ordered the decorations for the equipage, but he says that snouia ne win he does not wish a bottle of perfumery.

Senator Elkins, in speaking of the section, said today: "I am not ashamed of the part I have played. I am proud of it. The section would have meant for the ocean. what the tariff does for the land. I think it was American, and for that reason I pushed it. "This country is bound to be the mis tress of the seas just as soon ps we get time to attend to it. I want to hurry it along. There was no trick about it at all. I simply worked to succ eed. Of course, I was not going to tell those op posed to the scheme all about it. During President Harrison's admin istration we came very near reaching this end. Secretary Windom. two days before he died, drew up a resolution in pencil with this end in view. Had he lived it would have been pushed. I am going to push it now. "I shall be sorry if Attorney General McKenna finds fault against the dis criminating clause. Should he do so I think he will give Americanism and American shipping a setback of 25 years." KNOCKED OUT. Attorney General McKenna Settles the Discriminating Tariff Duty. Washington, Sept. 21. Attorney Gen eral McKenna announced his opinion in the matter of section 22, of the new tariff law. He holds in effect that goods coming' directly into the United States from foreign countries through Canadian ports are not subject to thii discriminating duty of 10 per cent and also holds that foreign goods shipped from countries other than the British possessions in British vessels are not subject to the discriminating duty. Two questions were asked the attor ney general, the first of which was ir effect whether the discriminating duty of 10 per cent provided for in section 2l' should be assessed against an invoice of tea from China which had arrived at Vancouver in British vessels and was thence shipped through Canada V Chicago. The second question was whether the discriminating duty should be assessed against a cargo of manga nese ore from Chile, which recently ar rived in a British ship at Philadelphia. Both of these questions the attorney general answered in the negative. The opinion of the attorney general first quotes section 22 in full and then, says: Three plausible contentions ar based upon this section, which as to strength, only differ in degree. (1) That the duty is a discrimination upon im ports of the United States, whether1 shipped directly to the United States or to a contiguous country and thence t the United States. 2. A discrimination against importa tions of goods (not in the usual course of strictly retail trade) from a contigu ous country, they not being the prod ucts thereof. In this, the character of the vessel is not important. 3. A discrimination against goods be--lng the productions of a foreign country not contiguous to the United States which shall come into the Uniteil States from a contiguous country. In this connection, the words "come into the United States" are used as des ignating movement only. Under the first and second conten tions the duty would not be imposed. Under the third it would be.

But Two Cases So Far in the Illinois Town. SPREADING RAPIDLY. New Orleans Reports Many New Cases Daily. Germs Conveyed in a Letter From Ocean Springs. "Washington, Sept, 21. Information has been received at the marine hospi tal from Dr. John Guileras, that two cases of yellow fever at Cairo, 111., have been isolated and every precaution pos sible taken to prevent spread. He says that the cases are very mild and have caused little alarm in Cairo.. Instruc tions have been given for the disinfec tion of the vessels from which the two patients were taken. Surgeon General Wyman has been informed that a ves sel has been anchored in the river near Cairo by the Illinois board of health for the purpose of inspecting vessels from New Orleans. Surgeon Carter has arranged a train inspection of all vessels leaving New Orleans. Cairo, 111., Sept. 21. The two cases in the marine hospital pronounced yellow fever in a mild form by Dr. Guiteras, and the hospital surgeon, are improving and one of them is convalescent. New Orleans, Sept. 21. The largest number of cases reported on any day since yellow fever first made its ap pearance in New Orleans, two weeks ago was recorded on the books of the board of health last night, although not a single case had proven fatal during the day. There were 18 cases in all, in cluding nine by Dr. Joseph Holt, all of the latter having been duly flagged and been put under quarantine regulations. Those reported are: Sophie Ricard, 1436 Date street. E. C. Ray, Lucas Ray, Catherine Ray, and Clinton S. Dixon, all of 2912 Prytanna street. Andrew Schloner, 848 Pordras street. James C. Simpson, Pitts street, corner Leontme. Lizzie Nussbaum, 1300 Galve street. Charles M. Gerr, Frank M. Gerr, 831 Bourbon street. Miss L. A. Phelps, 1114 Soniat street. W. A. Mills, 5964 Patton street.

Salvador Caslnor, 1423 Charles street. The most sensational incident of the day Was the announrpmenf fmm Tiy Joseph Holt, ex-president of the board 1 or neaitn that he had discovered nine cases among his practice, the first of which had come under his observation on Friday. Dr. Holt wrote a letter to President Olliphant and entrusted it to the mail, and his letter reached the board of health office yesterday. But fearing that the letter might not reach its destination in time. Dr. Holt sent a special messenger to the residence of Dr. Olliphant, giving this information. At the board of health office when the Holt letter was opened, there was first incredulity and then criticism of Dr. Holt because he adopted what the board considered an irregular way in which to make his cases known. Immediately upon the receipt of the letter, the machinery of the board was placed in motion and Inspectors were sent to the various houses where Dr. Holt reported sickness to exist. The place's were all disinfected and guards placed in front of them, but the board said it had very "little hope of the ef fectiveness of these measures, since all those who desired were given an oppor tunity to- escape from the infected house One of the houses, where four of the patients axe, is a fashionable boarding house. The first case to develop In this house was at 2:30 Saturday morning, and the other cases in the same place were noted on Saturday afternoon. Those liv ing in the house, of whom there were quite a number, knew of the existence of the fever early Saturday morning, and therefore got away as fast as pos sible. Some of them moved their baggage on Saturday and others on Sunday, while it is said some of the boarders took a train and went to Atlanta. Short ly after the board of health was made acquainted with the contents of the let ter of Dr. Holt, it held an executive con ference and decided immediately for a board of experts to visit the nine cases of Dr. Holt and decide whether or not they were suffering with yellow fever. The experts attempted to carry out the instructions of the board, but when they proceeded to the first house, Dr. Holt entered an objection and refused them permission to examine any of his patients, taking the position that he had properly diagnosticated them, and that being an expert himself, there was no occasion for further investigation. After the experts made their report, the board of health went into executive session and discussed at length what was termed Dr. Holt's violation of a city ordinance which he himself had passed and which provides for the pun ishment by fine or imprisonment of any physician who might fail to report a positive or suspicious case of yellow fever in a period like the present one. The question of the immediate prosecu tion of Dr. Holt came up and was con sidered, but the board finally decided to summon Dr. Holt to appear before them and explain his alleged negligence in the premises. The board of health has decided to send an appeal to Gov. Foster, asking him to supply the board with $25,000 from the surplus fund of the state to assist the board in prosecuting its fight against the fever. The governor was also asked to issue orders for tents and other camp supplies to "be used at the camp of detention. There were no new cases at Ocean Springs up to this evening, and several of the old patients were discharged. Miss May Chinn died at Biloxi. All malls are now being sent from the infected districts with as much regu larity as possible with the reduced rail road facilities. Dr. Holt, in his report to the- board of health, stated that all his cases were traceable to Ocean Springs. One of them contracted the fever through a letter written by a woman in a room where her child was sick at Ocean Springs. The public circulating library at New Orleans has been closed at the sugges tion of the board of health. Two private schools that have refused to close in accordance with the sugges tion of the board of health, will be pro ceeded against legally. Mobile, Ala., Sept. 21. Sunday, after the hot spell was broken by a heavy rain, which served also to wash, out the the gutters and improve the city's sani tary condition, the temperature con tinued to fall during the night and real autumn weather was experienced. At noon the people were almost Jubi lant over the health report. Many were seen to shake hands and give other evi dences of the intense feeling of relief. Large crowds gathered in front of the newspaper offices to hear the reports for the 24 hours past. Saturday there were 11 new cases.and Sunday as many more, so that the public expected at least a score of new cases to be an nounced yesterday, but the board of health report was published as fol lows: Two new cases; no suspicious cases; no deaths. The new patients are J. E. Bolton, living in the infected district on Texas street, and Mrs. "William C. Carroll. A member of the board said today that he expected the disease would be subdued and traffic and travel be re sumed before the middle of next month. The total number of deaths has been three, one a man who had been on a spree; another of a bricklayer in such bad health that he had not been regu lar in his work for a month, and the tb'-d, of a newsboy, up all hours, ex posed to every change of the weather. WHISTLING AT NEW ORLEANS Lower Temperature Gives Courage to the People. New Orleans, Sept. 21. The local fe ver situation was greatly improved this morning by a materially lower temper ature, the thermometer at 6 o'clock be ing 62. Incubation of yellow fever germs requires a sustained Fahrenheit temperature of 70, and if the present cool spell continues, conditions promise steadily to grow better. While 18 cases were reported yesterday at least nine were properly to be accredited to Fri day, Saturday and Sunday, and only one of these cases was of anything but a mild type, the exception being an un acclimated stranger. There have been no new cases reported this morning. Dr. Toatre, an eminent and experi enced yellow fever physician and a member of the board of experts, says in an interview that the records since 1853 show that yellow fever has never been declared epidemic in any year after its appearance here inside of two or three months. That was the case in 1853. '59, '67 and '78. The history of the epidemics of the last half century prove that all epidemics waned with the first cold of October.disappearing almost en tirely in November. If we add a month and a half more to the period of incu bation for infectious foci to establish themselves, we are brought almost to the end of October to have an epidemic. An epidemic at that late date is out of the question. Dr. Toatre produces a number of instances where fever broke out in August, September and October, only to be quickly stamped out by the frost before it had assumed the propor tion of an epidemic. The principal topic of interest here today is the letter of Dr. Holt replying to the criticism that he had not prompt ly reported his nine cases to the board of health and his rather fierce criticism of the action of the board of health in failing to quarantine Ocean Springs early enough to have prevented the ar rival here of a large number of people with their baggage from the infected points on the coast causing the intro duction of the fever in this city. The session of the board of health this aft ernoon, when Dr. Holt will be arraigned together with two other physicians, who are alleged to have violated the city and beard of health laws promises to be among the most spicy sessions ever held by that body. The government put in effect this morning, its baggage inspection at trains and steamboats. It will require at least five hours each day in which to do this work of inspection and the rail roads have issued notices to outgoing passengers to have all their baggage at depots and landings early. NAPOLEON'S WATERLOO. He Had the Chance of His Life in a Theatrical Way Before He Was Arrested. New Tork, Sept. 21. Until the condition of his wife, whom he attacked with a knife last night,shows more decided signs of recovery, August Cook, the actor, must remain in prison. He cannot be bailed out. He was committed in Harlem court today to await the result of her in juries. Before the case was called Cook, once the impressive Napoleon of "Madame Sans-Gene," stood among a lot of rum soaked prisoners in the Harlem court and bemoaned his fate. He did not refer to the wife he tried to kill last night, except to reproach her for aggravating him. "This affair will ruin me." he declared. "It was all her fault. She made me crazy. I was just going to sign a con tract with Augustin Daly to play Shy lock to Ada Rehan'3 Portia. It would have been the chance of my life, and now I suppose it is off. Probably Daly won't sign me now." WAR OF THE WOODMEN Will be Settled Finally in the Fod.ral Court. Chicago, Sept. 21. The rivalry between the two factions of the Woodmen of the World and the respective towns of Ful ton and Rock Island for the possession of the headquarters of the order will be finally settled in a few days. The coun. ter injunction in the state courts of the section in which the towns are located and between master In chancery t and judges has been ended by an appeal to federal authority. The restraining order granted by Judge Jenkins two weeks ago against further molestation of the headquarters at Ful ton was argued before Judge Showalter of the federal court today. VETERAN WANDERER. Former Kansan Arrives in St. Louis From Boston Aged and Penniless. St. Louis, Sept. 21. Lowell Emery, 76 years of age, arrived in this city yester day, after having been on the road from Boston since the 20th of March. He claims to have been robbed on the road of $460 in money and his coat, con taining his commission papers issued during the war, making him captain of a company in the Third Kansas regi ment and subsequent promotions up to the rank of major, and letters from Generals Hunter and Montgomery, un der whom he served. He talks interestingly of old times, battles and of his wanderings. He was sent to the hospital by a policeman who found him wandering about the streets.

Staisneld, 32 Kansas aveuus SILVERVBOGIE Continues to Agitate the Enj lish Gold Men. London Times Says Politics is Behind the Silver Movement. PROTECTION FAILED To Raise the Price of Wheat In France And That Country Now Pro poses to Try Silver. London, Sept. 21. The Times, in a special article dealing with the causes which led France to propose the free coinage of silver, says that the French Ambassador proposed 15 to 1, as the ratio at which France would open her mints and then proceeds to review the bimetallic movement in France. It points out that in spite of protection the price of wheat continued to fall in France until M. Meline, in 1895, in view of the immensity of the agricultural vote changed front and decided that, as protection had failed and a high price for wheat was neccessary bimetallism must be tried. The Times continues: "At the con ference in- May in the presence of M. Loubet and of M. Maginn, he (M.Melin) said to Senator Wolcott: 'Our support will not be wanting.' It must be said then what the Times hinted is abso lutely correct. Politics is at the bottom of all this. It is stated in the city that France is not serious and that the gov ernor of the bank is aware of this. Do not let us be too sure in questioning the statements and avowals of the lead ing French statesmen; for we shall be neither courteous nor prudent in doing so and may even be mistaken in the facts in the case." NORTH AND SOUTil ROAD. Citizens of Little Bock Enthusiastic Over the Matter. Little Rock, Sept. 21. The proposition of Governor Jones, president of the board of commissioners created by the last leg islature under what is known as the Bush law, for the construction of a road northward from Little Rock to the Mis souri border, there to be joined by a road to be built from St. Louis, thus giving the people of Arkansas another great trunk line through the state the inten tion being to ultimately continue the road southward to the gulf was presented at the board of trade building to a very large audience. In order to secure the building of this road the board asks the citizens of Little Rock to guarantee $75,000. First they are asked to put up $7,500 for a preliminary survey of the line. Whether the contract which Governor Jones' board has par tially made with St. Louis parties is fi nally consummated or not, this $7,500 i9 necessary for the preliminary work. Of course the remainder of the $75,000 is not to be paid unless the agreement is finelly made. That the parties with whom Gov. ernor Jones is negotiating are in earnest there Is every reason to believe. At the meeting no definite steps were taken looking toward the raising of the sum asked by Governor Jones. The remarks of Col. John G. Fletcher at the meeting were peculiarly appropri ate and timely. Turning to Governor Jones he said: "Go ahead with your proj ect, governor. Little Rock will pay the expenses; start your surveyors out to morrow we will pay them. We are con fident all that is necessary to secure the sum wanted is to ask for it." When completed. Governor Jones does not propose that the fixed charges on the road shall exceed $10,500 per miles. This is five times less than the Iron Mountain. To Cure a Cold in One Day Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets.

Stansfield, 632 Kansas avenue. 50 SLEEP FOR THREE MO.YTaS. One Cause of Sleeplessness That Can be Readily Overcome. Mr. Wm. Handschu of R6th St., Cot ton Alley, Pittsburg, Pa.,expreses him self as follows regarding the new leme dy for that common and obstinate dis ease, piles: "I take pleasure in stating that I was so afflicted with piles that for three months I got no regular sleep; I became completely prostrated, the doctors did me no good; my brother told me of the new remedy for piles, the Pyramid Pile Cure; I purchased from my druggist three 50 cent bottles and they completely cured me. I am once more at my work and but for this ex cellent medicine I should be on my back. I take great pleasure in writing this letter because so many people are sufferers from this trouble who like myself did not know where to look for a permanent, reliable, safe cure. Experience with the Pyramid Pile Cure In the past three years has dem onstrated to the medical profession, as well as to thousands of sufferers from piles, that it is the safest and most ef fectual cure ever offered to the public, containing no opiates or poisons of any kind, painless and convenient to han dle and being sold by druggists at 50 cents and $1 per box, is within the reach of every sufferer. Very frequently two or three boxes have made a complete cure of chronic cases that had not yielded to other remedies for years. There is scarcely a disease more ag gravating and obstinate to cure than the various forms of piles and it is a common practice to use ointments, salves and similar preparations con taining dangerous poisons to remove the trouble. The Pyramid ha3 superceded all of these ineffectual remedies and no one suffering with any rectal trouble makes any mistake in giving the Pyra mid a trial. If in doubt as to the nature or your trouble send to the Pyramid Drug Co., Albion, Mich., for a valuable little book on piles, describing all forms of the dis ease and describing the method of cure. Any druggist can furnish the Pyra mid Pile Cure as it is the best known and most popular remedy for piles and if you ask him he can doubtless refer you to many people in your vicinity who have been cured completely by it. BIG GRUB STAKE RETURN. A Rich Prospector in Klondike o members a Benefactor. Denver, Sept. 21. An investment of $300 produces $4,000,000. It sounds like a tale of fairyland, but J. L. Malcolm, a well known attorney of Denver, is In posses sion of documentary evidence that the story is not without foundation. Two years ago the attorney, then temporarily in charge of the Cripple Creek gold mine, grubstaked Mike Gideon, who went to Alaska. The prospector disappeared and for nine months not a word was heard from him. Then came a letter addressed to the attorney in Denver announcing that the prospector was stranded in Salt Lake City. "I have been to Alaska," said the for mer Cripple Creek man, "but it is not a poor man's country. I have reached Salt Lake and am possessed with the impres sion that Bolivia is a good region for a prospector. If you will outfit me for the trip I will go to Bolivia." The attorney was disappointed at the news from the northwest and he did not answer the letter. He charged up $300 to profit and loss and forgot all about the little incident of starting a trusted pros pector out in search of a fortune. Yes terday the attorney received a second let ter from his old friend. The letter Is dated at Dawson City, August 2, and postmarked at Juneau September 2. The letter contained the most astonishing news that has yet come out of the far away gold fields. The prospector who left Cripple Creek two years ago for Alaska had a second time gone into the country and had gained a fortune. The letter says that the miner has $200,000 in nuggets in his possession, has been of fered $500,000 for one mining claim and is prepared as soon as a bank is established to send a certified check for $200,000 as a preliminary free will offering to the Den ver attorney. The writer estimates that he is worth $4,000,000 and promises to de liver half to his benefactor. Gideon is well known in Colorado, as he was for years foreman of the Springdale mine. Boulder county. He Is regarded as eminently reliable, and the attorney is preparing to leave for the gold fields to take care of any legal complications that might arise. The letter reads as fol fows 'I worked all last winter and sold $86,- 000 worth of gold dust and nuggets in June. This made me able to buy lots of grub and hire three men, and I now have more gold than you and two other men could pack. As soon as we get an exchange bank I will send you $200,000 And have plenty left." PEACHES WITHOUT DOWN. Remarkable Results of a Maryland Horticulturist's Experiments. Baltimore, Sept. 21. Mr. William P. Winter, a retired carpenter who lives at 826 North Carey street, has entered heart and soul into the wizard business with remarkable results. In a cosy little yard back of Mr. Winter's home grows a peach tree that has produced annual crops of luscious fruit for a number of years. Two years ago Mr. "Winters grew weary of the conventional covering of the peaches in his limited orchard, and de termined at least to produce a peach minus that objectionable nap or down. He began a series of experiments and that year produced a peach clothed in the ordinary raiment of the banana; but, not satisfied with the result of his start ling assault on nature, he has succeeded in producing a crop, which is Just now ripe, that looks for all the world like a tree full of apples. The skin of the fruit is perfectly smooth and of a dark red hue, shading gradually into a yellow that Mr. Winter claims is a remnant of the banana skin. "Next year," said he, "I will have an orange skin on them." The method employed by Mr. Winter to produce these startling results is a pro found secret, and he is preparing to copy right the scheme. Grapevines, as well as peach trees, tremble before the skill of the ex-carpenter, and among the curi ous things that thrive in the rear of 826 North Carey street is a vine of this sort that bears at this time ripe grapes as sweet as honey and unusually large, half ripe grapes, blossoms and buds, which Mr. Winter expects to ripen by Christ mas. GOLD FROM EUROPE. Wall Street Authority Expects to See the Tide Set in Soon. New Tork, Sept. 21. One of the best known sterling exchange authorities in Wall street, Charles Schumacher, expects to see gold shipped from Europe to this country within the next two or three weeks. He said today: "The usual autumn decline in sterling rates, which we have been expecting for some time, but which has been delayed by developments beyond control, has come at last. As it looks at present, the decline will go very much further during the next two or three weeks will go on until the gold Importing point is reached. "Just what that point Is, however, is somewhat difficult to determine. It varies with each individual arrangement be tween our gold importers and European correspondents, depending upon the price at which the latter can obtain gold in Paris, London or Berlin. "I think the Bank, of England has sur prised almost everyone familiar with the exchange situation by not advancing its discount rate. By maintaining its pres ent rate it keeps the official rate below that of the private market. "This is a state of affairs which has not existed for two years. By the 1st of October or a little later we should have gold coming into this country from Europe. Something to Know.

It i9 Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.- Thousands of corpulent people who need this medicine have failed to take it because of its world-wide reputation as a blood-maker and flesh-builder. They im agine because it has an established reputa tion for building up the flesh and strength ening emaciated people, that it will make corpulent people more corpulent. This is a misconception. The'"GoIden Medical Discovery" builds firm, healthy flesh but does not raise the weight above a natural normal figure. Unlike cod liver oil, it does not make soft, flabby flesh. It builds solid, healthy flesh but tears down and ex cretes the weak, half-dead tissues that con stitute corpulency. It makes the appetite keen, the digestion perfect, the liver active, the blood pure and the nerves steady. It cures all blood and skin diseases.

Pretty vari-colored ribbons, streamers and pennants floated from the whip and top of the vehicle. The other young ladies with Miss Cleven ger were Miss Ethel Morris, Miss Flor ence Musson and Miss Bessie Fluke.

Society here is all in a flutter over the elopemer.t and wedding yesterday of Henry Burr and Miss Grace Ryan at Kansas City. The groom is a son of Henry Burr, a wholesale shoe dealer of this city, and the bride is a daughter of Matthew Ry an, one of the wealthiest men of Leav enworth. He is at the head of several ice manufacturing plants in Kansas, and owns a half dozen ranches in Kansas. Nebraska and South Dakota. Mrs. Burr is the oldest of a family of four children. For a number of 3 ears Henry Burr, the father of the young man, has had the contract for the labor of the con victs in the shoe shops at Lansing.

Metsker, and James W. Preston, all well known stockmen of Alford, Kan., were arrest- ed at the stock yards yesterday on war rants charging them with obtaining money under false pretenses from the John C. Hall Live Stock Commission company, to the amount of $9,100. They were taken before Judge Fisher and re leased on $500 bonds each to appear for trial on October 14. According to the complaint sworn out by the Hall Commission company, the three defendants borrowed $9,100 and gave as security a mortgage on a bunch of cattle and some property at Alford. There were two loans made. One of $4,600 to the Metsker brothers and $4,500 to Preston. It appears now that the mortgage given by them was valueless in as much as they did not own the property on which the mortgage was given. HAD HIS BEER IN" JAIL.

The improvements will consist of a new wheel shop 40 by 60 feet in size. The shop will be built between the car penter shop and the new car shop, and will be of frame and corrugated iron. The wheel shop will be fitted with the latest machinery, and here all the wheel work of the Topeka shops will be done in the future. At present this work is done in the machine shop, and the new shop will not only afford a more convenient location for the work, but be the means of providing needed room in the large shop.

As soon as the new shop is built all the ma chinery and equipment will be moved from the planing mill and the work done in the separate shop. FULL TEXI OF THE VERDICT. Wreck Blame Placed Upon Dispatch er King and Agent Larson. Emporia, Sept. 21. The coroner's Jury in the Santa Fe wreck case finish ed the inquest and reached a verdict in fifteen minutes yesterday. James Bruce was the only witness examined, and his testimony showed that both Dis patcher King and Agent Larson had failed to use proper precaution. The coroner's verdict holds King responsi ble and Agent Larson partly responsi ble. The verdict is as follows: "The jurors do say that the said Mi chael J. McGlade came to his death by injuries received in a wreck on the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe, three and one-half miles northeast of Em poria, in Lyon county, Kan., on the evening of September 8, 1897; that said wreck was caused by Dispatcher King of Topeka, changing said orders and making said meeting point of trains Nos. 1 and 118 Lang instead of Empor ia; that changing said order put said trains in a dangerous and hazardous position: that such change of orders is customary, but in violation of the rules of said railway company, and that ex tra precautions requested by the rules were not taken by Dispatcher King and Agent Larson to protect these trains; that the appliances furnished the agent at Lang are deficient, having no hand lantern, torpedo or fuse, and that the red light displayed on the evening of September 8 was dimmed by smoke; that the neg'igent acts of said employes of said railway company were not fel onious." RIPLEY'S REPORT. President of the Santa Fe Tells of the Relations of the Road. Chicago, Sept. 21. President Ripley, in submitting the Atchison report to the stockholders, has this to say: "The year under review has been largely devoted to preparation for the future. Its early months were during a period of continued business depres sion, from which no positive evidence of recovery were discernible until toward the close of the year. At the present time the volume of business is increas ing, and the earnings of the system for the current fiscal year bid fair to con siderably exceed the earnings for the year covered by this report. "The relations of the company to its patrons and the communities along its lines are, in the main, satisfactory and harmonious, with the exception of some unreasonable demands for the reduc tion of rates. "The relations of the company to its competitors and the general rate condi tions are as good as can be expected under laws which foster the evils of unrestricted competition and forbid the formation of reasonable agreements." LARGEST PASSENGER ENGINES Euer Built in America Arrive in To peka for Santa Fe Co. Today there arrived in the Santa Fe yards in this city two of the largest passenger engines ever built for any road in the United States. They are the first of a consignment of eight en gines, built for the Santa Fe by the Dickinson Locomotive works of New "York after plans submitted by Superin tendent of Machinery John Player, and aie to be used on California trains 1 and 2 from Topeka to Las Vegas, New Mexico. The engines each weigh-over 70 tons, and the driving wheels are as large as those of any ten-wheel locomotive ev er turned out of an American shop. From rim to rim they measure six feet, and the cylinders are 28 by 19 inches. The engines are constructed for a pres sure of ISO pounds of steam, or 20 pounds over what was a few years ago considered a remarkable pressure. The engines are built especially for pulling heavy loads at a high rate of speed. Trains 1 and 2 are the heaviest trains on the Santa Fe system, and hardly a day now goes by that No. 1 is not cut in two sections at Topeka and sent west as two trains, or two engines attached to pull it. At points along the line from Topeka to Las Vegas the grades are unusually heavy, and singly none of the engines row owned by th road are able to pull the train on time when the equipment amounts to 11 or 12 cars. Only one of the new engines will be required on a train of 12 cars, and it is expected that even better time than the present schedule can be made with the California trains. The remaining six engines will ar rive within 30 days. DODGE CITY ITEMS. Several Changes Made Among En gineeis and Conductors. Dcdge City, Sept. 21.

Rock Island passenger train No. 23. west bound, running over the Union Pacific tracks and an east bound Union Pacific stock train collided head-on at 9:30 o'clock last night two miles west of Muncy, a flag station next east of this place. Both locomotives were com pletely wrecked, the baggage car of the Rock Island train was badly shattered and several of the stock cars were wrecked, but no one was killed. The locomotive crews of both trains jumped. Engineer James W. Scarff of Kansas City, Kan., who was on the stock train, is seriously hurt, and En gineer Charles Goodall of Chicago, who was on the Rock Island train is slight ly injured. The Rock Island postal clerks were considerably shaken up, and one wo man passenger was cut by falling glass. The uninjured coaches of the passenger train were pulled back to Kansas City and the stock cars back to Topeka and both will be dispatched over the Santa Fe tracks. The wreck was caused by the Rock Island train men ignoring or ders to pass the stock train at Muncy. IN THE NEW REPAIR SHOP. The Santa Fa Moves Into the Topeka Shops Today.

On account of the present heavy work it will prob ably be impossible to allow the shops to remain closed the entire week, as was done last year, but the officials of the mechanical department are willing that the shops should be closed at least three days out of the six. The general impression now is that the shops will be closed Monday. Wednesday and Thursday of next week. General Man ager Frey will definitely settle the mat ter this week. Manager Ohmer Moves.

The managers of the Festival Queen's ball at the state house wish it distinctly understood that no tickets are reserved for any Special persons. Everyone is welcome to attend the ball who will con form to the rules by which the ball is governed and pay the price fixed for the ticket. The fact is recognized that the festival is a great public occasion and that the ball is for the entertainment of our visit ors. Unfortunately, the only suitable hall in the city is far too small. If we had the proposed auditorium, 3,000 tickets could be Issued to the ball, but experience has proven that not more than 600 persons can crowd into Representative hall and dance there. So the tickets must be lim ited to the capacity of the hall; and first come, first served. Complimentary tick ets have been issued to the heads of the state administration and prominent guests invited by the Committee of Fifteen. This left only about 200 tickets to be sold; it is a physical impossibility to get any more people into the hall. Today the executive council made the provision that both the east and west galleries should be open to the public free of charge. It had been intended to re serve one gallery for the newspaper men from all over Kansas, and the executive council were beseeched to permit this res ervation to be made, but they would not yield. The head of the press committee, Mr. L. L. Kiene, then asked the state house people for forty seats for editors, but with no better success. This is not just treatment of Kansas editors by the state administration and the blame will have to go where it belongs. More than half the tickets to the ball have already been sold. It is more than likely that $10 apiece could be obtained for the tickets on the night of the ball. ST11ICKEN EDWARDS. New Cases of Fever Devoloping With Extraordinary Frequency. Edwards, Miss., Sept. 21. New cases of yellow fever since last reported are as follows: Mrs. Graves, sr., and George Elliott, both white, and three or four negroes, names unknown. Col. R. Robb died today of yellow fever. Mrs. Henry is reported as not doing well. Mrs. Graves, sr., mother of Mrs. Henry, was taken with the fever yesterday and is quite sick. Meridian, Miss., Sept. 21. The Mobile Ohio railway has abandoned two of its passenge rtrains on acount of the yellow fever. The company will run one train each way every day. WEATHER IN DOUBT. Mr. Jennings Can't be Sure YetAbout Weather Next Week. Weather Observer T. B. Jenning says that if the low barometric areas form in the northwest and travel southeast erly in as rapid succession this week as they did last, there will be some cloudy weather Fall Festival week. This, he says, does not mean necessarily that it will rain that week, for the barometric conditions may change completely and fair weather may prevail the entire week. The center of a low barometric area is spoken of in meteorological language as a "low." When a "low" forms in the northwest, the opposite condition, or a "high"forms around it and keeps crowding it south easterly and gradually neutralizes it partially, and sometimes wholly. It is when a locality is on the whirling edge of a "low" that storms prevail. These "lows" travel very rapidly and when they come in large numbers, one after the other, they cause unsettled weather 'and often heavy rains. Mr. Jennings is not willing to say that the Fall Festival will have clear weather the whole week, but the chan ces are greatly in favor of it. Just as soon as the proper observations can be made the people of Kansas will be no tified. Several other weather prophet3 in and around Topeka have prophesied fair weather for the week. SPANISH BONDS FALL. Pall Mall Gazette Attributes it to the United States. London, Sept. 21. The Pall Mall Ga zette this afternoon comments in its financial article on the fall of three quarters in Spanish four's on heavy sales for continental accounts, saying: "The bonds were absurdly high owing to the support of Paris, which was loaded up; but probably the conditions will be changed by the action of the United States in regard to Cuba. Spain evidently cannot wage war with Ameri ca, but the concessions of independence to Cuba may lead to disasters at Mad rid, and if Spain defaults, the French financiers will be hit very badly." CHARGE IS MURDER. Sheriff and Deputies Arraigned for the Hazleton Affair. Wilkesbarre, Pa., Sept. 21. Sheriff James Martin and about forty of his deputies were arraigned in court this morning charged with the murder of 24 striking miners at Lattimer on Sep tember 10. Aft?r several witnesses had testified, the judges held the sheriff and his deputies in $4,000 each for trial. Bail wan furnished and they returned to Hazleton.

The decision rendered by Judge Fos ter in the Kansas City Live Stock Ex change case marks one more step to ward the termination of the war be tween the trusts and the people. Tet none can tell how much longer the bat- tie will last. While decisions along the lines laid down by Judge Foster are becoming more and more frequent and sweeping In their character the trusts seem not at all dismayed. They go on organ izing, combining and extending the field of their operations. From con solidating a number of corporations in to a trust, the trusts themselves have i begun to unite. I The Rockefellers who were the pio neers in the formation of an Immense combination for the control of the oil business are now reported to have in cluded sugar in their operations and are reaching out for gas. Combinations for the production and distribution of the necessaries of life might be so conducted as to be of great i advantage to the public and at the j same time profitable to those in control of them. But the disposition to over work the machinery for squeezing out Dfofita and to thus lew an tirHilcfr tribute on the people seems ever pres ent. It is this tendency which excites crit icism, then condemnation and finally open revolt which culminates in some thing like Judge Foster's decision. If the Kansas City Live Stock Ex change had been content to conduct its business on a fair and equitable basis, exacting from its patrons no more than Its services were worth it is improba ble that there would have been any in interfering with its operations. All the other trusts singly or com bined must ultimately be wrecked on the same rock of greed. THE INDIANA LYNCHING. They are lynching people in blocks of five down in Indiana. Mr. Dudley set a very reprehensible fashion. Minne apolis Times. Lynching is bad enough when it fol lows a capital crime, but in a civilized country there should be no possible ex cuse for the illegal killing of robbers. Columbus, O., Dispatch. Five men taken out of the custody of officers of the law and done to death for the crime of burglary! The state ment reads like a wild exaggeration. Atlanta Constitution. It is one of the worst cases in the whole history of lynching, and shows a murderous spirit that should be dealt with according to its terrible deed.i St. Louis Globe-Democrat. In all the ahnals of lynch law there is nothing north or south to surpass this deed of fiendish violence, for no act of such magnitude ever followed a crime so trivial. Pittsburg Times. This is an advance In the Jurisdiction or judge Lynch. Usually he is called on to avenge only crimes against life or person, but in this case it was a matter of robbery. Pittsburg Post. Lynchings are getting to be so com mon in the grand old Republican states of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois that southern newspapers are printing very little about them now. St. Louis Re public. The Indiana lynching emphasizes the fact that in too many parts of the country today the people are forget ting the old homely moral precept two wrongs do not make a right. New York World.

Southern men resorting to lynching to protect their wives and daughters from brutes are models of civilization compared with these Indiana regula tors, who resorted to wholesale murder to avpnge petty thefts.

Which Is greater, a railroad engin eer's responsibility or a passenger's risk? When a singer warbles, "Take Back Tour Gold," is she supposed to be for free silver? They had quarreled. "Do you love me?" she asked. "Yes," he replied, "but no one loves you as much as you love yourself."

In the country towns, a man shows his symptons of love by buying every thing offered him for sale when hi3 best girl is with him. "What do you do here for excite ment?" an eastern man asked today. We don't want any. There is nothing quite so foolish as "excitement."

Owing to the high price that wheat has brougFTt, the real swell society events in Kansas this winter will be given in the country school houses. An Atchison man used to refer admir ingly to the stiff back bone a friend of his always showed on tryinsr occa sions. They quarreled recently, and he now talks of his ex-friend's great gall and nerve. I No man can control his temper per fectly, or his likes or dislikes. There are certain men in Atchison the mere sight of whom makes us mad and un comfortable, but if they insist upon talking to us, we go crazy. The death of a young man on the eve of his marriage is regarded as sadder by the wrman than the death of a man who leaves a family destitute. A tinge of romance acts on a woman's sym pathy like a cake of yeast in a pan of dough. PEOPLE YOTJ HEAR, OF. Olive Schreiner's health is causing anxiety to bxr London friends. Harriet Prescott Spofford is slowly re covering from an illness of four months at her home on Deer isle, near New buryport, Mass. A statue of Canovas Del Castillo. Spain's murdered premier, is to be erected at Madrid, the authorities of that city having unanimously decided to thus honor his memory. Mrs. Livermore is a believer in co operative housekeeping, and holds that a saving of from 12 to 15 per cent in purchases, could be made by a combi nation of 25 families.If the bills of fare were prepared by one set cf cooks an other large saving would result. Although President Faure's life has several times been attempted, and is known to be threatened at the present moment by the anarchists, yet he de clined to permit any members of the French police or Parisian detective force to accompany him to St. Peters burg, declaring that it would consti tute a slur cast upon the hospitality of the czar and of the Muscovite nation. Bishop Huntington of the Protestant Episcopal diocese of central New York is an ardent single taxer. The well know novelist, Signor Ga briel d'Annunzio has been elected depu ty for Francovilla in the Italian cham ber. Miss Beatrice Harraden has become a practical woman farmer. She can plow a field, plant and cultivate the same, build fences, harness horses, etc. She rises very early in the morning. When Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes.aft er a visit to Professor Max Muller, was bidding his host good-by, he said: "I have had much talk with people in Eng land; with you I have had real conver sation." Count Tolstoi, in a recent interview which is recorded in a Russian paper, has stated his strong objection to Wag ner, whom he looks upon as decadent. Further, he says that he is not compre hensible to common folks. The Topeka Journal of course puts the worst construction possible on a couple of our last week's items in ref erence to the governorship. But we shan't take back what we said; we are, and always shall be, in favor of any Republican of decent character, back number or new, in preference to a Le welling or a Leedy. Of course this kind of talk does not suit such "independ ent" papers as the Journal, which fa vors anything which will make a sen sation. Beloit Gazette. Editor Dodge is a candidate for gov ernor. Hurrah for Editor Dodge! There, now; isn't that satisfactory? "Old Ironside" Ordered to Boston. Washington, Sept. 21.

Fres Silver Men Would Nominate Him for Mayor of New York. New Tork, Sept. 21. Henry George wil) be asked to accept the nomination for mayor of New Tork on the platform of the free silver Democrats, and in the event of his refusal William J. Gaynor, justice of the supreme court, is to be asked to become the standard bearer. Should Justice Gaynor decline the honor there are others from whom the silver men may choose. Whoever the candidate may be, he will not be compelled to personally bear the expenses of the campaign, as the free silver Democrats have been raising money and are said to have an exchequer strong enough to meet ail reasonable de mands. The question whether or not the regular Democratic organization will reaffirm the Chicago platform does not influence the silver men, according to Robert Stewart, chairman of the united Democracy and a possible candidate for mayor. He said: "There is nothing left for the Chicago platform men who are the regular Dem ocrats to do but nominate a ticket. "The action of the state committee and the influences that are at work in the Democratic organizations in the Greater New Tork are such that the Democratic voters feel that they must taRe matters in their own hands. "As to the state's ticket, we are Dem ocrats and want to see the Democratic j party win, but we cannot and will not accept any man for office about whose loyalty last year there Is any question. If Judge Parker should withdraw and a loyal Democrat, known to have stood by the party and the ticket last fall should be substituted, we would gladly aid in his election. If he remains on the ticket we will do our best to defeat him. "If Henry George would accept the mayoralty nomination he can have it unanimously. I understand, however, that he is unwilling to assume the bur den of the campaign, because he desires to devote his time and strength to his forthcoming work on political economy. A strong effort will be made to make him accept the nomination. "Should Mr. George decline. Justice William J. Gaynor may be prevailed upon to accept. He would unite all Demo crats. I understand that Henry George indorses Justice Gaynor. There is plenty of material available, however.and money to conduct a vigorous campaign." The free silver men. known as the Unit ed Democratic Organizations of the Greater New Tork, last night decided to hold a city convention on September 27 and nominate an independent ticket. This action was taken by the committee of twenty-five to whom had been given full power by the conference of the United Democratic Organizations, held at the Holland House last week. FARMER BGOSH IN TOWN. Some of the Things About Topeka Incomprehensible to Him. A farmer from Rooks county came to Topeka yesterday to stay until after the Fall Festival. He rode out on an asy lum car and the following conversation followed between the farmer and the motorman: Farmer I am from Rooks county. I raised a big crop of wheat and I Jest thought I would come down here and stay two weeks. Is this the road to the asylum? Motorman Yes; this is the way to the asylum. Farmer If I go out there now, will I have to stay for dinner? Motorman You may. Farmer Then I guess I will Jest put oft my trip until some other time. Have you lived here long? Motorman Twenty years. Farmer Well, then, you must know everybody in town. Motorman Not quite. Farmer (Looking intently at the ced ar block pavement) How did they manage to cut off all them stumps so even? Motorman I don't know. Farmer Say, what kind of a monu ment are they building down at the Motorman That is the. new bridge. Farmer Well, I'll swan. They have two bridges there already, and are building another. It beats all how some people spend money. The conversation was Interrupted oy the car reaching the end of the line. steImTssow sleds. A Line Will be Established on the Yukon This Winter. Washington. Sept. 21 Secretary Al ger has been anticipated in his scheme for supplying transportation over the Yukon by steam snow sleds. Today he received a telegram from E. B. Hart ley secretary of the Klondike Trans portation, Express and Commercial company of St. Louis, stating that his company has already contracted for several cf the locomotives and trains will be running over the Yukon river in December. The instructions given to Lieutenant Colonel Randall, who will command the small post to be established at St. Mi chael are very simple and direct. Sec retary Aler tells him to make his way to that place' with despatch and estab lish a post temporarily, for it is not the intention of the department to make this a permanent post. He will pre serve life and property to the best of his ability, endeavoring to do so with out exercising force if that is possible. It is said that the little command will arrive at St. Michael about October 5. TEL LER IS FOR HA Y T. Declares Himself in a Letter to Chair man Blood. Denver, Col., Sept. 21. Senator Tel ler has written a letter to Chairman James H. Blood of the Arapahoe county committee of the Silver Republican party, in which he announces his inten tion of supporting Judge Charles D. Hayt, nominee jt the Republican and Silver Republican parties for justice of the supreme court. The senator says he regrets that Judge Hayt accepted the nomination by the administration party, but in considera tion of Judge Hayt's plain statement of his position as well as his record on the silver question he will support him.

LOVE AND LAW Form the Basis of a Romanes Which Culminated in a Wedding Today. Jealousy of a brother and the most meager circumstantial evidence, based wholly on a technicality of law, were the causes which in November, 1895, landed Dr. Homer A. Call of Cherokee county in the penitentiary for thirteen years. He was pardoned yesterday by Gov. Leedy and was immediately married to the girl whose jealous brother had pros ecuted Call for alleged wrong. In September, lS'J5,CaJl and his sweet heart. Miss Lora Havely, decided that they would marry. Some weeks were spent in preparations for the event, but they finally decided to cross the line in to Missouri, where, under the common consent law, they were married by a justice of the peace with but little ex pense compared with that which the Kansas laws require. After the wedding the bride and groom returned home and spent a day with her parents. They then went to the home of Call's parents, where, upon complaint of the girl's brother, who was a rival doctor. Call was arrested under charges of statutory assault. Young Havely produced witnesses to prove that the girl was not quite 18 years of age, and therefore not eligible to marriage under the Missouri laws, and upon that evidence. Call was con victed and sent to the penitentiary. He ha3 been behind the prison bars two years, but the young wife has re mained true to him despite the protests of her brother, and today she met Call as he emerged from the penitentiary, whereupon they proceeded to the office of the probate judge of Leavenworth county and were married. The governor issued the pardon upon condition that the marriage should take place. ANNIE BESANT'S SUCCESS. Her Lecture Tour in the TJultedStates Has Borne Fruit. New York, Sept. 21. Mrs. Annie Be sant, who arrived in the city today, after a six months' lecturing tour of the country expounding theosophy, is to return to England September 22. She will give a farewell lecture tonight at Chiekering hall on "Life After Death." There is a probability that Mrs. Be sant will be a passenger on the same steamship as Ernest T. Hargrove, the young English barrister, who has re signed from the theosophical society of which Mrs. Katherine Tingley, the veiled Mahatma, is leader, thus follow ing the example of Claude Falls Wright whose marriage according to theosophi cal rites attracted attention. The result of Mrs. Besant's tour through the country has been the or ganization of more than 50 branches of the Thecsophical society, American sec tion. Count Axel Wachmeister, who, with his mother, the Countess Wach meibter, accompanied Mrs. Besant, said today: "The tour has been a most satisfac tory one, and Mrs. Besant's work in the cause of theosophy has been most fruitful. Her visit to this country has not been in any spirit of antagonism toward any other organization, despite reports to the contrary. Indeed, this could not have been the case, for the osophy shows that all antagonisms of such a character are wrong and do not tend to the universal brotherhood which Mrs. Besant teaches." CARNEGIE AN EXILE. Wealthy Pittsburger Will Spend Most of His Time Abroad Pittsburg, Pa., Sept. 21. Andrew Car negie will spend less time in this coun try hereafter. Robert A. Franks, rep resenting Mr. Carnegie; said yesterday: "Mr. Carnegie has been strongly advis ed by his physicians to spend his sum mer holidays in the dryest part cf Scot land, near the sea. This location is a narrow strip extending south from Cro marty, Moray and Beauly firths to In verness. Mr. Carnegie has found the sea r.i3 cure under all circumstances; an ocean voyage has never failed to bene fit him. "But Mr. Carnegie's health is the principal consideration in view. He hopes to live to a ripe old age in the dry and mild though bracing climate in the summers, running out to the friend ly sea now and then for the day, re turning at night. "Mr. Carnegie may not return to New York this year, as his physicians obtained a positive promise from him before he sailed from New York that the family would spend one winter among the flowers in the south of France to insure his recovery before again trying a New York season." UE TOOK UP TICKETS. Bridegroom Busy Up to the Moment of His Marriage. The Salvationists are practical peo ple. The hallelujah wedding took place at Hamilton hall last night and up to the last minute of his freedon, the bridegroom took tickets at the door. The army made a free street parade. The men were dressed in white ulsters and silk hats, the women wore white, the bass drum boomed and the uninitiated would have mistaken it for a minstrel parade. The army marched to the hall and the services commenced. Lieu tenant Carter of Kansas City had charge of the meeting and he managed to stir up plenty of enthusiasm. Ev eryone had to be a Salvationist for that night at least and by the time two good rousing songs were sung the audi ence joined in clapping their bands and singing as loud as anyone. 'The dif ferent members of the army told of their life and all of course spoke about marriage. Those who were married pronounced it a success and those who were not married said they hoped to be. It was not until 9:30 that the most interesting part of the ceremonies was reached. While the army was singing the marriage procession approached. The procession was led by Maj. Stilwell of Kansas City followed by Beecher B. Wooden, the groom and Capt. Norton best man, Dora C. James the bride, and Miss Emma Crawford as brides maid. The Salvatioin Army marriage vows were read by Maj. Stilwell and both parties accepted them. Then as the couple stood with clasped hands he pronounced the marriage service of the army holding the clasped hands of the couple between his own.

New York, Sept. 21. George J.Gould, with his family, returned on the Amer ican liner St. Louis. For three months, while Mr. Gould has been resting in Europe, a business revival has added at least 15, 000, 000 to the value of the Gould securities. "It was a good thing for the country that I went away," said Mr. Gould, whose bronzed face was radiant with good nature, "for with my absence good times seem to have come. They are here to stay for a long time, too. I am sure of that." There were 17 persons in the Gould party Mr. and Mrs. Gould, their three little boys and two girls; Mrs. Kingdon, who is Mrs. Gould's mother; Miss Car ter, who is Mrs.Gould's aunt; three maid servants, two men servants, a gover ness, a trained nurse and special stew ardess. They occupied eight large staterooms. "Am I going to stay here and wait for the inspectors to go through my baggage?" said Mr. Gould, as he took a seat on a trunk. "Yes, I am so pleas ed with the way things have been go ing, with the improvement in the values of my properties here, that I am willing to wait here all night if I have to, and then shake hands with the inspectors in the morning." "So you think that the business re vival here is not spasmodic?" "Most certainly. There has been a strengthening in the markets all along the line. Business men abroad realize that the United States is now master of the situation. We have the goods to sell grain, cotton and everything.Their crops are short, their needs are great and they must buy of us. In moving our enormous crops there will be In creased activity in railroad securities, and the railroads that are benefiting by this are building cars and engines to handle the immense tonnage which must be hauled this fall." Mr. Gould was told of trouble that had been caused in Tarrytown through high assessments of estates of wealthy residents. "The up-state people are simply fol lowing the example which the tax offi cers of this city set them," said Mr. Gould, rather bitterly. "Why should they drive rich people away from New York city and New York state? I was the first victim. Our estate and my personal property were taxed at an ad vance of 1,000 per cent without a simi lar advance in other properties. I would not stand such gross and unjust dis crimination, although I am always wit ling to bear my fair share of taxes." "You, of course, heard of the col lapse of the conspiracy which sought to establish that Sarah Angell was the wife of your father, and entitled to a share in his estate?" he was asked. "Yes," he replied, "and of the wom an's confession that the whole thing was a conspiracy, and that she was the dupe. Of course, it was very gratify ing news to me, but I never was alarm ed by the case. We knew from the very start that it was nothing but a biackmailing conspiracy that must fail." "Will you criminally prosecute those who inspired it?" "No; why should I? I am not paid to prosecute criminals. The public offi cials know that this crime has been committed. They know who are the guilty persons, and it is their duty to prosecute, not mine." As Mr. Gould talked he opened up trunk after trunk for the inspectors, who found nothing dutiable. When it was all over and everything had been taken to the express wagons Mr. Gould started for La kewood, saying as he left: "I have had a glorious vacation; never felt better in my life, and now I am go ing to take off my coat and go to work." PENSION LIST GROWS. Deficit is $6,000,000 With 200.00C App. .cations on File. Washington, Sept. 21. It is about the life of a generation of men since Grant received Lee's sword at Appomattox, and yet the pension list is steadily grow ing larger. It has been known for some time that the appropriation would be insufficient, but today Commissioner Evans admitted officially that when congress meets in regular session in De cember it will be confronted with the necessity of passing a deficiency ap propriation bill carrying at least $3,000, 000, and possibly more, to square up Uncle Sam's accounts with his veteran defenders and their relatives of differ ent degrees. Commissioner Evans estimates that the payments for pensions for the fiscal year will foot up $147,500,000. The ap propriation was $141,263,8S0. The high water mark for pensions was in 1S93, when the payments amount to $159,357,-; 507, since which time they have been kept down to the figures of this year's appropriation. The payments for pen sions this year will be within $30,000,000 of as much as the entire receipts of the government from customs last year.and more than equal to the entire internal revenue tax. In explaning the reasons for the in crease Commissioner Evans said: "To begin with, there are something like 200.000 old claims pending before the bureau, which will be acted upon as rapidly as we can get to them. A great many cf these are good claims, ought to be, and will have to be allowed. They will involve a considerable amount of money, possibly $5,000,000, although no definite estimate of this can be made now. "Then there is a remarkable increase in the number of new applications for pensions. For instance, in the last six months of the fiscal year of 1896 the ap plications under the general laws were 15,909, while in 1897, the month of June, they were 18.168. The applications un der the act of June 27, 1S90, for six months in 1896, were 10,865. and for the mcnth of June, 1897, were 22,001. "There are a number of persons on the pension roll of the United Sates," said Commissioner Evans of the pension bu reau, "who are drawing $45 per month and upward and it is my intention to prepare a list of them for publication. Hundreds of people are being provided for on this roll of honor, many of whom deserve all that can be given them, but there are others who are not so worthy. We want to weed out all who are not entitled to consideration and the con clusion has been reached to scatter the list of highly paid pensioners as widely as possible." COURT NOTES. Yesterday in Justice Guy's court the Jury found Harry Croft not guilty.Crofi was charged with resisting an officer at the "riot" at Garfield park. The case of Herman Crow for a like offense is be ing heard today. The testimony show ed Croft was not at Garfield park at the time. W.H.Eamest was bound over in Jus tice McClintock's court to await trial ir the district court on the charge of em bezzling from the Trades and Libor Assembly. He was formerly treasurer of the association. Herberi A3s!nra nleaded guilty to the charge of petit larceny and Jiistk-t Chesney fined him $1 and costs, amount ing to $30.

Sept. 2L Dr. J.

Be is cow in this city aad aspires to found a great black em-X-irr?. "A3 a medical Trait." Dr. Tbcne said tjday: "I know that the United Stares and West Indian negroes cannot thrive n the west coast cf Africa. We are rne descendants of slaves brought from the highlands of the interior, and are unable- to stand the tembie west coast 'iima.ce. It is criminal ta entice ignor ant Afro-Americana to pest holes like U oeria. "My idea s that the black race in America should jradaaiij return to that part of Africa whence it came. Since we have no chance on the Amer ican continent, it is my plan to start a. general exodus to southeastern Afri ca. There, on the l;?pris Just north of the Zambesi river, is the future home cf cur race. The country is called the Kritish East African protectorate and is ruled by Sir H. H. Johnson, the great African explorer and administrator. "W hen I speak of a general excdus. do not think that I wish the whole col ored rice to arise together and attempt to start the colony. The work should be done by decrees and a smaii begin ning is necessary. I have raised about 13.500 in England for preliminary work -and will start for Africa in a few months. Many of the most prominent colored, oecpie-in the. country have ex pressed their approval of my prrrfeet and I have been overrun by appiica- 1 lions of men of all classes who wish, to go. "The first company win start with, me and will number about ten men. Ar rived in Africa, we shall begin to culti vate the land, build houses and make the nucleus of a settlement.

Mr Baldwin said: "This message indicates that Andree has safely crossed the 150 miles or 30 of open water which extends from, the north coast of Spitsbergen to the be ginning cf the pack ice. It is evident that the loss cf three guide ropes. which occurred on the day Andree started had not prevented him from giidinjr the taiioon. If the extreme cold caused any perceptible change in the gases, such action would have taken place be f re Andree wrote his last message and if the eoid had done the work so much feared, Andree would not have said 'AH we-lL" "It is significant to note that Andree was gning eastward, the direction he in; ended to take. This is a straw which helps to verify his reported safe reap pearance in Arctic Russia. "Doubtful scientists declared, before Andree left, that he would be unable to determine his exact location from the balloon. The tenths of decree given in his message prove that Andree was not only able to ascertain his whereabouts, but did so witn remarkable accuracy. "The first three days were looked up rn as being the most perilous and im portant cf the entire journey.

Ala., to the Picay une says: About two hours after the men went to work in mine No. 2. of the Bessmer Land and Improvement company's coal mine, at Beile Ellen, near Blockton, yesterday, fire was discovered far down in the mine slope. About loO men are employed in the mine. At once, an alarm was given. A panic followed among the workers, and in the little town of Belle Ellen. Hundreds gathered at the mine en trance of the smoking mine, while res cue parties were at once formed to re lieve the miners. More than 30 were gotten out from the various entrances without harm. Others were overcome by smoke and fell by the wayside. These the searchers found and dragged out while those waiting at the entrance restored lite to their unconscious friends. Fle men who wre working about the slope were beyond where the fire originated could not be reached, ami it is regarded as certain that they are dead. The missing men are Her man Kramer and Eubbard Foley, white. and Henry P.eeves, Frank James and William Fairfax, colored. It is possible that two or three others may be in the mine. The fire briga.de battled with the flames all day in a vain attempt to reach the entombed men. but at nightfall the Are was still burning fiercely and efforts were aban done and the men were given up for dead. The fire is thought to have or ginated from an overheated steam pipe which ignited gas in the mine. BT BAIL OYER WHITE PASS 21 arrow Guage Band From. Skauay to bo Completed by May 1 Seattle, "Wash..

Wis: "We. the members of the Woman's Christian Temperance union of Ashland. Wis., protest against women working on rock piles as we understand is being done in your state. Equality should begin at the ballot box and not at the rock pile. TTntil woman has a vote and chance for office equally with man she should have privileges because of her disabili tiea.

"When woman as builder of the race is shown more consideration, better en vironments and consideration, then we can hope for am upward tendency in the coming generation. But while woman must be silent and submissive, a slave to man and man-made laws, only slaves and tyrants can be born. "Tn the face of all this we demand, for humanity's sake, that her treatment be 3uch a3 to eliminate the evil that man has developed and fostered.to restore and uplift if possible, to her proper sphere, by giving her good, wholesome influ ences and conditans and that her pun ishment shall be of a reformatory na. ture and woman's work. D23IOC3AT3 ASS EYiSYTHETG In the Leavenworth. County Fusion and Senator Harris is Drowned Out. Leavenworth, Sept 21. The stormiest Populist convention held in Kansas this year took place in this city yester day. It was a wild, unruly mob, fight ing over fusion, which was defeated. and during which Senator W. A Harris was "aumiiiated. and the convention ad journed in disorder. The disturbance was created by the effort of Mr. Harris to secure fusion with the Democrats. He made the mo tion in the convention and was made chairman of the committee which, "con ferred with the Democrats The conference was held and" the committee reported that the Democrats were to have sheriff, register of deeds, treasurer and county cierk; the Pop ulists to have coroner, surveyor and state senator, to nil the vacancy caused by Mr. Harris' resignation. When this report was made the con fusion in the Populist convention was something extraordinary. While Sena tor Harris was making a speech in fa vor of the report he was compelled to sit down, the chairman sustaining some unimportant point of order raised against the speaker. The convention then Instructed the conference committee to make a de mand for more offices upon the Demo crats, but when the committee re turned to the Dmocratie convention candidates for those otSces had been nominated and the Demcr?rat3 wouid not treat with the committee. When this report was returned to the convention, further efforts at fus ion were abandoned. The only tee any interest was awak ened in the Democratic convention was when Thomas P. Fenion mude a mo ton to- suppress a resolution reaffirm ing the Chicago platform. Mr. Fenlon's motion did not prevail., but there was a good following in the convention in fa vor of it Mr. Fenlon afterward offered these amendments to a meaningies3 platform that had been reported by the committee, and they were adopted: Resolved, That locking back to. the proceedings of the legislature of last winter with shame and disgust we de mand that that tody shall not be called together again to further inflict the state bv it3 venality and imbecility. "Resolved. That every principle of home rule,' dear to every citizen, de mands the repeal of the metropolitan police system; the financial interests cf the taxnaver as well as the good gov ernment of our cities by the people thereof, demand this reform." EUIi OF BTjSIZSESS. Railroad Commissioners are Flooded Witn Petitions and Grievances. Since the decision of Judge Randolph cf Emporia granting an injunction in the live stock rate case, conferring thereby, at least until higher courts re verse the decision, additional and ex tended powers on the state board of railroad commissioners, that depart ment of the state government is being flooded with petitions, requests and ab solute demands for an adjustment cf freight rates and an investigation of the methods of procedure in transac tions between shippers and the railroad companies, the burden of ccmplaint al ways beins against the roads. Not a day passes but seme case of this character is filed before the com-mi'-sioners. The most recent case showing, if the. allegations of the pettion are sustained by evidence, unjust discriminations by the Rock Island, was filed today by John Q. Hardy, trustee of Manhattan township, Riley county. The petition recites that the Rock Island charges as much for shipping freight frcm Manhattan to a point 20 iroles west as is charged- for similar shipments from Kansas City. The petitioner further alleges that these charges are net only unjust and discriminatory but extortionate and un reasonable, and si that the commis sioners give the subject a riose invest igation, a request which the commis sioners assert will be granted.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAI TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 21, 1897. M VISIT QUEEN L0R1NA. liarnival Knights Ambassador to the Queen's Court lleturn After Receiving Iiojal Mandates. Her TSiaa Whitney, Who is to Act aa Car nival Queen, Will Reach Topeka Tuesday of Festival Week. President Chas. K. Holliday of the Karnival Knights, and John C. Wa ters, went to Chillicothe, Mo., Sunday, to call upon Miss Edna Whitney who is to be guest of honor of the Knights during festival week. Chas. HoUiday says that he was nev er before tendered such an ovation aa the people of Chillicothe gave to John Waters and himself. Speaking of it to day he said: "Why it was simply ele gant. When we got there it was about U:3i o'clock in the evening. We went to the Henrietta hotel and registered. The clerk read our names and his eyes bulged out and he motioned frantical ly to an old gentleman who sat in the ffice. He came up and read the names and then he came over and introduced himself to us as the police judge. Pret ty soon the hotel proprietor came in and it wasn't long before a large number of the prominent people of the town were there. They all seemed intent on as suring us that Miss Whitney was Just the nicest kind of a girl imaginable. We went to bed about 11 o'clock and early the next morning there was a rap at our door and we were informed that the mayor and corporation were down stairs awaiting us. We went down and there was the mayor, the councilmen, the police Judge, the city marshal, the tire marshal, the newspaper men, the bankers and prominent business men. .All the officers seemed to wish to as sure us officially that Miss Whitney was a fine girl, the pride of the town. They told us that the town was ours. Everybody spoke well of the young la dy. "We went to the factory where she works and went right through the of fice and found her at work at her bench. She looked very pretty as she sat there at work. We were pleased to find that she is remarkably modest and retiring. She is a brunette with beau tiful eyes. But I cannot describe her, as my friend Waters took close notes. We called upon Miss Whitney at her home. Her mother is a handsome lady who seems to be a model mother. She expressed herself as pleased that her daughter should be selected. Miss Whitney brought in a bunch of mail a foot high and said: 'Look here, this is my daily mail." There were offers of marriage, propositions from theatrical managers, in fact almost everything. While we were at the house the preach er called and he told us that he had known the young lady from a child and that she was a thoroughly good girl, that she was invited to all the best so ciety gatherings in the town. "A Sunday school man told us that she had been in his class for many years and she was an excellent girl. "They wanted us to stay over night In the town as the band had been secur ed to give us a serenade. But we had to leave, we had the best kind of a time over there." Miss Whitney will arrive in Topeka Tuesday noon of Festival week. She will review the Santa Fe parade and will ride in the Floral parade in an elaborately decorated carriage. John C. Waters is enthusiastic about Miss Whitney. He said: "The best thing I can say about her i ma.i sne iooks liKe a Topeka girl. We i-eceivea royaiiy tn Chillicothe. AH the prominent rjeonle of tho tnwn called on ua and they all praised Miss hitney. The preacher told of her suoa sianaing. "Miss Whitney is not vain as a result of this sudden fame. She treats it just me jiyni way. one nas a younger sis ter who is very pretty. All three will come to Topeka and be entertained by V"L ""uunoi .iviiieiiis at me 'jnroop hotel. A special train is to be run from Chillicothe, and the people will be led by the band, which is a. good one." Miss Whitney, her mother and sister win nave a suite of rooms at the Throop hotel. Miss Whitney, as Queen Lorina, will lead the grand march at the Karnival Knights ball to be given Carnival night at Hamilton hall. She will preside as Queen at this function. In the parade sue win occupy a Deautirul float, and as court ladies three unmarried ladies and three married ladies will ride with her. Behind this float in a decorated car riage, will ride the young lady, heav ily veiled, whose picture adorns the Karnival Knights button. At the Kar nival Knights ball this young lady's Identity will be revealed. The tickets for the ball are how on pale at Stansfield's drug store. Those holding official invitations are entitled to purchase ball tickets at Jl each.Those having friends in other cities whom they wish to receive invitations should confer with W. W. Webb, chairman of he invitation committee. For the ball Marshall's and Mani fold's bands, Watson's and Steinberg's orchestras will furnish the music It will be the most elaborate masquerade ball ever given in Topeka. Both floors of Hamilton hall will be used for danc ing. KANSAS CITY COMMENT. Some of the Statements About Mibs Whitney in Kansas City Papers. From the Kansas City Journal: Miss Edna Whitney of Chillicothe, Mo., who was chosen to act as Queen Lorina at the Fall Festivities at Tope ka. beginning Tuesday, September 27, will be taken from her Missouri home to Topeka in a special train, where she will be welcomed by knights in armor and, representative ladies of the city. Miss Whitney was waited upon yester dty in Chillicothe by a committee com posed of Charley K. Holliday, Jr., and John Waters, who were accompanied by Mr. A. C. Jordan. Both Mr. Holliday and Mr. Waters are representative Kansans. Mr. Waters is a lawyer and Mr. Holliday is a politician. Upon their arrival in Chillicothe the committee proceeded direct to the tobacco factory where Miss Whitney is employed. She was sitting before a bench, her dress covered by a big apron and her sleeves rolled up to her elbows, displaying plump and well rounded arms. She was busy "shading" cigars. She did not Eeem to be at all disconcerted when the committee stated that it had been dele gated by the people of Topeka to visit Chillicothe and request her to become the guest for a week of the capital city of the great state of Kansas. There eeemed to be no affectation in her make-up and she discussed the invita tion frankly with the committee, and. after a consultataion with her parents her mother is not a widow as was stated she gracefully accepted. Her mother and an aunt from St. Louis will accompany her to Topeka. That Miss Whitney will be a conspic uous feature of the Topeka festivities is evidenced in the programme adopted by the board of directors. Here it is in Cull: Tuesday morning Miss Whitney will be escorted from Kansas City to Tope ka in a special train by the K. K. com mittee. She will be met at the Topeka depot by K. K. in mailed armor, brass bands and a parade of citizens to escort her to Hotel Throop. Tuesday night Public reception In honor of Miss Whitney. Wednesday morning Miss Whitney and Gov. Leedy will review the Santa Fe parade from a special stand. Wednesday evening Entertainment at the clubs in honor of Miss Whitney. Thursday Miss Whitney will ride in the K. K. coach; colors, rose and elec tric green. Thursday night Miss Whitney will be escorted to the Floral ball. Friday Miss Whitney, as Queen Lo rina, with a court of six society ladies of Topeka, will ride in a gorgeous float, followed by maskers in decorated car riages, in the "Battle of Flowers" and parade of K. K. Friday night Miss Whitney will be escorted to the masquerade ball, where she will reign as queen and lead the grand march. That Miss Whitney's fame Is not con fined to the states of Missouri and Kan sas is evidenced by the fact that last week she received an offer of marriage from a man in New York, who declared that he was worth $1,500,000. He sent the names of people of standing as ref erences. A shrewd theatrical manager has offered Miss Whitney a position in an opera company. Special to the Kansas City Times: Chillicothe, Mo., Sept. 20. Miss Edna Whitney, the modest young lady of this city who suddenly found herself famous in being rejected as one of the maids of honor of the Flower Queen in the com ing Kansas City Carnival on account of being an employe in a cigar factory, is inclined to regret so much fame, as it is in some instances annoying. She has received all sorts of offers. none of which she has accepted except the one to appear as Flower Queen at the Topeka, Kan., Carnival, and a com mittee from that city was here today to arrange for her escort there. Among other offers she has received was one of a large amount of money and a royalty to allow her photograph to appear on the cigar boxes of a great manufactory; another of $200 a week to go on the stage with a theatrical company. But the most enticing offer was the proposal by letter of marriage by a New York millionaire, who gives first class references. Miss Whitney is a level headed Mis souri girl and her head is not likely to be upset by adulation or otherwise. Special to the Kansas City World: Chillicothe, Mo., Sept. 20. William B. Rogers, manager of the Mackay Opera company, is in the city trying to close a contract with Miss Edna Whitney to go on the stage with his company. Just what salary is offered is not yet known, but Mr. Rogers remarked that it required three fingers to represent it and the first figure was not a one. Miss Whitney has the matter under consideration. The committee from Topeka is also here tcr arrange with Miss Whitney for her appearance at the Carnival in Topeka in October. Special to the Kansas City Star: Chillicothe, Mo.. Sept. 20. Miss Edna Whitney.the handsome cigarmaker.who was barred from the Chillicothe contest for maid of honor in the Kansas City Flower parade, is considering an, offer lo go on the stage. The advance agent of the Mackay Opera company, A. Rog ers is in the city and Is using every endeavor to get her to sign with the company. He said to the Star reporter: "I have made Miss Whitney an offer and she has 48 hours to answer in. I do not wish to state the salary I have offered her, but it is a large one." uriea Whitney has not made up her mind about the offer and refuses to talk at length with newspaper men. "I have not decided." she said, "and I don't care to say anything about It." Miss Whitney was formally notified this morning of her selection as Queen Lorina of the Topeka Carnival. A com mittee of three Topeka men waited up on her. The manager of the Mackay Opera company, on the strength of his nego tiations with Miss Whitney, has tried to get a date for the company at one of the Kansas City theaters. He said in his telegram to the Kansas City man agers that he had signed the young lady. COUNTY. SUNDAY SCHOOLS. Annual Convention Friday and Sat urday of This Week.

A momentous change has been inaugurated in the public schools in this city. Last spring the board of education determined to enforce the separation of the colored and white pupils in the schools. Two new buildings were needed and these were built and furnished with every modern equipment for the accommoda tion of the colored children. Efficient colored teachers were hired and the schools have been opened and an order issued for all colored pupils to repair to the new schools. It had been feared that there might be a clash over the order, but bo far all has been peaceable and satisfactory. In a few instances the children remained in their old places, but this was not pushed, as there was much to do in getting the others established. 1 The colored people are divided In their sentiment toward this move, but a large majority of them are opposed to it from a sentimental standpoint and they have raised $500 for the purpose of fighting the order of the board in the courts. If they do this the matter will go up to the court of last resort. Nearly Jl.000.00 worth of stock in the Kansas-Alaska Cooperative Mining company has been taken already. It is going rapidly at $10 per share. The company are now taking the initial steps preparatory to their start in Feb- ruary. Applications for stock will be taken by any of the directors or at the Secretary's office, 413 Kansas avenue. TODAY'S MARKET REPORT. Furnished by the Associated Press to the State Journal. Chicago, Sept. 21. WHEAT Wheat was very weak at the opening today. Initial trades in De cember, which closed yesterday at 9274c, ranged all the way from 91c to 91e, with most of the trading at the lower of the two figures: 914c was almost immedi ately touched. The influences were lower cables and enormous northwest receipts. Notwithstanding the firm tone of yester day's closing here, Liverpool started at a d decline, which had increased by 3:30 p. m. to ld. Paris was also a shade lower. Minneapolis and Duluth reported receipts of 1.924 cars, compared with 1.691 last week and 903 a year ago. Chicago receipts were 583 cars. There was gen eral selling at the opening.

Warrensbur, Ma Sept. 2L The latest developments in the Stills abduction case are exceedingly sensational. Relatives of the accused parties persuaded Prosecut ing Attorney N. M. Bradley to go to Jef ferson, township and investigate. He waa t.i'-frn Into the woods ten miles from the scene of the alleged crime and shown, a woman, in company with, a gang of young men. who claimed to be the miss ing Mrs. Sri ITs. When questioned she ad mitted that she waa the wife of Andrew Stills, but said she had. left him willingly to go with Hull. McKeeben and Jackson, and did not want to return to him. Mr. Bradley says he satisfied himself that the story of abduction aid outrage of the wife as told by Stills is untrue, but many persons here are not satisfied with the revelations made by friends of the accused. Constable Hudson says he found Mrs. Stills was with her mother at White Sulphur Springs up to 11 a'eloek Sunday morning. A liveryman, at Letton ays positively that he took Mrs. Stills to the home of her mother and was paid by a relative of the three accused young men. for doing so. FELL FKQ3I THE BOCKS.

A letter from Crater Tir iia-ifg dated September 2, sasyr A thousand men toiled all of yesterday in. a blinding storm of snow and sleet on the summit of Chilcoot pass. The bliz zard lasted from daylight until dark. H. C. Willard of Butte. Mont, fell from tne rocks at a point half way between the summit and Crater lake and fractured a bone in hia left forearm. A physician set the bone andWillard continued across Crater lake to Lake Lndemaon. An In dian chief at Dyea sa. a few days ago that Chilcoot pass would probably be blockaded by snow by the 25th. He said that miners fortunate enough to have their supplies across the summit before that time can reach Dawson. The rivers, he claimed, will keep open until late in November, although the lakes will prob ably be frozen in six weeks. Ten days ago the India is charged cents a pound far packing from Dyea to Lake Lindemann. The rate is now 40 cents. When the next steamer arrives tt will probably jump to 30 or SO centai ALL READ!

Washington. Sept. 21. Georgia Re publicans here say that it Is pretty well settled that General Longstreet will be appointed railroad commissioner to succeed General Hampton some time next month; at any rate, by the 1st of Kovember. It is said that General Hampton is engaged in the preparation of his an nual report. This must be submitted to Secretary Bliss by the 1st of Novem ber. It may be done before. It Is not desired, it is thought, to disturb Gen eral Hampton until he has reported. In connection with the report recently circulated that the office of commis sioner of railroads is to be abolished, Secretary of the Interior Bliss says there is no foundation for such an im pression. The office was created by congress, and, therefore, legislative ac tion is necessary to abolish it. Such action would hardly be taken without the recommendation of the administra tion, and judging from the past record f the Republican party it is not given to abolishing public offices. It is disposed to create additional offi ces wherever the slightest prospect is offered. Secretary Bliss is in no hurry to disturb General Hampton. KILLING CANNIBAL FISH. Iowa Lakes to b Rid of Troublesome Gar and Buffalo Species. Sioux City, Iowa, Sept. 21. An ef fort is to be made to have the state legislature next winter adopt a plan for the removing of objectionable fish In Spirit lake. For a number of years the state has pursued a policy of en couraging the breedin of fish in the streams and lakes and a great many young fish have been placed in Spirit lake, Okoboji lake Clear lake and others in the northern part of the state. Recently it has been discovered that the most of the fish placed in Spirit lake became food for the garfish, which are multiplying in great numbers and thriving well on the good food at state expense. Now it is proposed that the lake be cleared of the gar and also the buffalo fish, which are plentiful. B. F. Stevens, of St. Louis, who has a fine cottage on the shore of Spirit lake, and spends his summers there, has of fered to donate something to assist in having the lake cleared of the cannibal Jish at private expense, but a number of others, led by Frank Faulkes, of Cedar liapids, proposes to enlist the interest of the sportsmen and have the ptate do the work. It is claimed that the gar can be taken out of the lake iuite easily by seining the edges of the lake at spawning time. It Saves the Croupy Children. Seaview. Va.

Cumberland Gap, Tenn., Sept. 21. the search party that went up the un derground river in search of the Henry Bourson and Charles Sommers explor ing expedition have returned unsuc cessful, worn out and in most deplora ble condition. They had proceeded up the river for about two miles, when they were swept down by a sudden flow of water which went on its way roaring and surging against the sides of the cave, carrying their frail boat with it, dashing it against the sides and whirling it on ward with its mighty force until they were exhausted by endeavoring to keep it away from dangerous whirlpools, side currents and projecting rocks, and had reluctantly given up the unequal struggle and lay in the bottom waiting what seemed their inevitable destruc tion, when they felt their boat shoot down a steep falls. When It came to a standstill in what seemed to be a large pool into which the water was pouring and apparently rising rapidly until at the expiration of about 24 hours the flow gradually decreased, and they felt the boat drawn out by the current into the main stream, from where they made their way as best they could to the mouth of the cave, and were con veyed to their homes by awaiting friends. They have seen no sign of the explor ers, and are in such an exhausted con dition that no further intelligence can be derived from them. AN APACHE IN HARVARD. The Young Indian Has Distinguished Himself as an Indian War Cor respondent.' Cambridge, Mass., Sept. 21. Harvard University is soon to attain the distinc tion which Holy Cross college but a few years ago was proud of namely, to welcome within its walls a full-blooded Indian as a student. Unlike that hon or which the Worcester college has un dergone in the well-known Sockalexis, Harvard will receive a pure-blooded Chirracabua Apache in place of one from the forests of Maine. A dark, handsome man of about 24 years, tall and straight, and with phys ical development that a trained athlete might well envy, is Antoni Apache. As an example of the youth's1 brilliancy, it is said that while engaged as a scout and a young boy he also essayed news paper correspondence, and many of the Eastern and Western newspapers at the time published his reports of the work executed by the federal troops against the Indians. At present the young Indian is en gaged by a sportsmen's association in scouring the woods of Maine and Cana da in search of game trappers, Indian guides and hunters.

Two years ago Topeka people saw for the last time Alexander Herrmann, or "Herrmann the Great" as he was com monly called. A few days prior to the date he was booked to appear in this city last year he died suddenly in his private car in Buffalo. Tonight they will have an opportunity of seeing not only his successor in the art of leger demain, but what is said to be his equal in the person of his nephew, Leon Herrmann. Leon Herrmann is accompanied by Adelaide Herrmann, the widow of the late Alexander, and together they pro vide a splendid evening's entertain ment. Besides assisting the young magician in his feats of magic, Madame Herrmann appears in a series of beau tiful spectacular dances. Of this part of the Herrmann entertainment the Chicago Inter-Ocean printed the fol lowing: "It remained for Madame Herrmann to exploit one of the most dazzling ser ies of spectacular dances ever witness ed on the local stage. These dances, it may be stated, are not to be -regarded as terpsichorean tests, as the dancer is merely the graceful figure adroitly pos ing as the focal point for play of light. The electric appliances used in this act were of the most modern and complica ted character, and were all concealed on, above, or below the stage, and furnished most beautiful and fascinat ing results, artistically, in form and color. The Vesuvian dance, with steam effects, was startling in its way. and the others were singularly beautiful in blending of color on skillfully disposed draperies." State Control of Bread.

The Tu kon river, Mr. Ladue says, is still open to navigation, and he thinks the most feasible plan to warn the miners of their impending danger would be to dispatch two couriers over the Chilcoot pass. The latter could reach Dawson City before navigation on the Tukon closes. Mr. La due declares that the use of a locomotive sled on the Tukon, as suggested by Secre tary Alger, is Impracticable, as the fbe Is hilly In formation; nor could supplies be taken over the Chilcoot pass, the only other way that Mr. Ladue thinks more supplies might get to Dawson City and Circle City in limited quantities is to EW MODEL SUPPLY EW MEL.
