It A,- if SATURDAY EVENING. TWO CENTS. SATURDAY EVENING. TOPEKA, KANSAS, OCTOBER 2. 1S97. TWO CENTS. I i i i i 1 WEYIERRESICNS. Tho Formation of the New Spanish Cabinet Means a Change of Policy To ward Cuba. RECALL WAS CERTAIN, And the Captain General lias Forestalled It. The Queen Jiagent is Worried Over the Turn of Affairs. London, Oct. 2. A special dispatch received here Iran Madrid today says that Gen. Weyler has been recalled from Cuba. His successor, it is added, has not yet been officially announced. C'apt. Gen. Weyler is credited with having amassed a fortune in the Phil ippine Islands and he is said to have in creased it in Cuba, although probably lie has had to divide with a good many politicians at home. The Spanish array is pronounced to be as rotten as the Spanish civil service system, and still, according to a prominent Span iai d Here, when a Spanish regimcni. is sent to at tack a force of Insurgents, the Spanish commander sends an emissary witli a purse who makes arrangements umcii provide that while the Spaniards march une way the insurgents go away by an 01 her route. Havana, Oct. 2. El Pais, the organ of the Autonomist party, commenting editorially on the Spanish cabinet cris is, says: There are powerful reasons why we advise the continuance of the Conserv atives in control of the government so as to avoid the prejudice and danger which mis. it be occasioned by a vio.ent transition in the abnormal circum stances of the present political and m 1 itary problem in Cuba. The negotia tions with the United States have ar jived at a stage which does noi admit of a violent interruption or a radical reversal. La Luilia says: The Liberals during the last political campaign went further than prudence advised and compromised more than they thought. Their demands for the recall of Capt. Gen. Weyler places Sell er Sagasta in a difficult situation, when the captain general has asked for two years' time to put down the revolu tion. Capt. Gen. Weyler will be able to prove that in the provinces of Havana, jiatanzas and Pinar del iiio, the rebel lion is under control. The advantage or disadvantage of his resignation will lie exclusively at the uix.r of the Liberal party. Senor Sa gasta has made a mistake and given a chance to his adversary to route him by making it impossible for him to form a durable cabinet. New York, Oct. 2. A special to the World from Madrid, Spain, by way of ISayonne, says: In all her consultations with the Span ish generals and the leaders of the po litical parties, the queen regent has laid stress chiefly upon the question of Spain's relations with the L'nited States and the best means of averting the loss of Cuba through prolongation of the war and consequent American inter vention, thereby imperiling the stability- of her son's throne, let alone playing into the hands of the Republicans and I'ariists, who have been especially trou blesome of late. The queen also insist ed strongly vipon discussing whether Spanish rule in the West Indies would not be jeopardized by a too extended grant of autonomy, thus enabling the separatists and autonomists to prepare gradually and legally a revolution. HUSHING FORTIFICATIONS. The Government is Pushing the Work at San Diego. Pan Diego, Cab. Oct. 2. The war de partment is rushing work on the for tifications of San Diego harbor with remarkable energy. Lieutenant Meyler, in charge of the construction of fortifi cations, said that the first two gangs to be placed at Paiiast Point, had been shipped by the quartermaster's depart ment from the Watervleit arsenal and that they would soon arrive. They are ten inch guns, to be mounted on dis appearing carriages, and the contractor is instructed to do the work as rapidly as possiole. The third gun emplacement is being bui'.t by the California Construction company with a force of nearly 100 men working day and night. The war department is building tor pedo defenses at San Diego that are as important, if not more so, than the gun batteries. One of these casements is now completed, extending into the bay under the surface. AFTER THE SANTA FE. Robbers of the Rock Island Had De signs on Another Train. Ardmore. I. T., Oct. 2. Ten deputy United States marshals under Chief Ftowe have left here with the hope of capturing the bandits who held up the Rock Island passenger train just north of Chickasha. They are acting upon the confession of a man jailed last week for suppose,! complicity in a re cent Santa Fe robbery. He is sai 1 to have revealed to the of ficers the plans, as arranged in ad vance, for the robbery on the Rock Is land road. He states that the band in Tended riding east from the scene of the robbery to Paoli. in the Chickasaw country where they intended to hold tip and rob the southbound passenger train on the Santa Fe road, due there early this morning. The officers expect to board the threatened train at Pur cell. Australian 3a'.lot Law. The changes made in the Australian Fallot law by the legislature last win ter has started an extended controver sy over the one point as to which party is entitled to the first place on the offi cial ballot. The Populists claim the Re publicans are trying to keep them off the county tickets, while the Republi cans, through their state committee headquarters, announce that thev pro pose to stand on their rights even if legal steps be necessary to protect thei interests. The attorney general has de cided the law means that the pa'tv casting the highest number of votes n't the last election for any one ofPVe is entitled to the first place on the official ballot. TUKEE BOATS LOST Which Were Intended for Service on the Yukon. Tacoma, Wash., Oct. 2. The steamer North Fork has arrived direct from St. Michael with 2S passengers and the fol lowing letter from H. M. Morgan, As sociated Press correspondent: Dutch Harbor, Sept. 21. The wreck of the schooner Hueneme, having on board the material for three river boats to be built at St. Michael isiand for service on the Yukon, has had the effect of changing the route of the steamer Portland, which had on board the ma terial for one river boat also for service on the Yukon. The Portland will discharge her cargo here (Dutch Harbor) and leave Moran Bros., the contractors for building riv er boats here, together with their em ployes, who will proceed with the con struction of the one boat brought up on the Portland. As soon as the Portland has unloaded she will return to Seattle, where ar rangements will be made to send ma terial for the construction of three boats as originally intended to be con structed here, and forwarded to St. Michael in the spring. The passengers and Mr. C. II. Hamil ton anil Parber party are to be trans ferred to the steamer Bertha of San Francisco, Captain J. M. Hayes, which is expected to leave Unalaska, on Fri day, the 24th inst., for St. Michael. The Bertha left St. Michael on Wed nesday, the Kith inst., and arrived at Dutch Harbor Friday morning, the 17:h. This will be her last trip this season, she returning to San Francisco for the winter. The steam schooner North Fork of Tacoma arrived here from St. Michael late this evening with about 35 passen gers on hoard. Among them were P. C. Richardson of Seattle. Mr. Richard son left the Sound July 25th over Chil koot pass, arriving in Dawson City on August 12th. He stayed at Dyea two days, and two days at Lake Bennett. Mr. Richardson says there are at least 5.500 people at Dawson, the greater number living in tents. Soon after he arrived there, the North American Transportation and Trading company closed their store, be ing out of provisions and unable to fill about 40 paid orders. The Alaska Commercial company was filling about one-third of their paid or ders, with a bare chance of the Margar et, with 100 tons of provisions, and the Alice, with 75 tons, arriving before they would be compelled to clK.5. The Margaret ought to have arrived by Au gust 25, but it is almost impossible to get up the Yukon on account of the lack of water. Mr. W. K. Langdon of Seattle, also a passenger on the North Fork, has been up the Yukon as far as Yukon on the Hamilton. Mr. Langdon says the water fell four and a half feet in five days, and that it is impossible for anyone to get through to Dawson City this year. He says it is impossible to exaggerate the danger from starvation in the Klondike this winter, and an early winter is pre dicted, and there are absolutely no pro visions to be had. There are about 1.000 people at Rampart City living in tents and the Hunter and Minook creeks are all located. IMRK TWAIN HAS GOUT He Calls It "Tooth Pain in His Toe." London. Oct. 2. A dispatch to the Daily Chronicle from Vienna says that Mr. Samuel L. Clemens, (Mark Twain) is confined to his bed with the gout, but he is in excellent spirits and calls his ailmert "tooth pain in the toe." BLAND GRINDS AN ORGAN. One of the Incidents of the "Time" the Atchison Folks Had, A distinguished looking gentleman with spectacles and waving black hair walked up Kansas avenue yesterday afternoon with a hand organ in front of him and a agile monkey fastened with a chain hopping along in front. He was followed by a crowd of men with corn husk umbrellas. The man was Judge W. T. Bland. who now presides over the district court of Atchison county, and he came to To peka with the rest of the delegation to see the town and have a time. As the Atchisonites walked across Kansas avenue, near Fifth street, they caught sight of an Italian with an organ and monkey, who was trying to coax pen nies from the children who surrounded them. Judge Bland broke away from the crowd. He went up to the Italian, un strapped the hand orpan and i'Ut it on his own back. He then took the mon key's chain and started to grinding, meanwhile jerking the chain, which caused the little animal to hop around as if he were dancing. The Italian looked on helplessly, but when he saw the dimes and nickles being dropped in to the monkey's hat. a broad smile over spread his face and he pocketed the money. Judge Bland and his party went two blocks and they stopped whenever they saw a crowd, and did not leave until thev had made a collection. Then Judge Bland handed the organ and monkey back to the Italian and the party started out to look for other fields to conquer. T 11 OUGHT IT GRAN D. Ottawa People Enjoyed the Splendid Santa Fe Parade. From the Ottawa Daily Herald: Most of the Ottawa people who went to To peka. on special trains yesterday came back last night. The train bringing about 250 shopmen and their families arrived about l::-0 a. m. They were all tired and nearly worn out by yesterday's big crowd, out all are very enthusiastic in speaking of the Santa Fe s parade and big silver anniversary demonstration. It was a grand and "imposing spectacle that wi'.l long be remembered by every man. wo man and child who saw it. Undoubted ly' it was the biggest parade ever seen in Kansas. Presidential Appo;ntm9nts. Washington, Oct. Z The president has made the following appointments: John I. Worthington, register of the land office at Harrison, Ark.: David L. Geyer of Porrieroy, O.. receiver of pub lic moneys at Roswell. N. M.: Albert M. Anderson, agent for the Indians of the Colville agency in Washington; Wm H. Driggs to be lieutenant commander in the navy; L'lysses Grant Ammen to be assistant paymaster in the navy with the relative rank of ensign. IN AH0RN. Witnesses in the Luetgert Case Now Talk Into the Receiver of a Large Sized Phonograph. A QUESTION OF BONES. Experts Continue to Give Con tradictory Evidence Regarding the Kind of Bones Brought Into Court Chicago, Oct. 2. It looked for a few moments today as if there would be an interruption in the Luetgert trial. Jur or John E. Fowler was not feeling well, but he expressed a desire that the case proceed and court opened at the usual hour. The first witness called this morning was Dr. V. A. Merrillat. of the McKillop Veterinary college, Chicago. Dr. Mer rillat was called upon to identify va rious bones placed in evidence by the prosecution and declared by the defense to he the bones of the lower order of anii als. Like his predecessors upon the 1'anil in the expert line, the witness was inclined to lecture and demonstrate his remarks to a degree that became tiresome. Dr. Merrillat w as less confident in his identification than other experts who have been heard during the trial. Bene fitting by their amusing and at times humiliating blunders the witness avoid ed the cleverly laid technical pitfalls arranged by Prof. Dorsey of the Field Columbian museum. Dr. Merrillat re fused to identify the gorilla femur which yesterday proved a stumbling block to Dr. Allport, who said it was the femur of a strong man, who in life had probably been 5 feet 4 inches tall. In reality the gorilla, whose bones now rest in the Field Columbian museum was 6 feet 6 inches tall when he roamed the jur.gles. The witness also refused to commit himself as to a temporal bone. He said that he wanted some thing more than an isolated bone in order to positively state its probable nature and connection. While he felt sure in his own mind as to the identity of the bones, yet he did not propose, he said, in a case involving so much, and while he was under oath, to posi tively state that these bones were ab solutely what he thought they were. He did not believe in off-hand guessing and thought any expert should be granted time to make a thorough inves tigation. A phonograph expert brought into court today a score of receiving cylin ders and a vast bugle shaped tube. This was trained on the witness stand and by request of counsel, witnesses will speak loud and clear in the future. In a short time phonographic reproduc tions of some of the evidence will be heard all over the country. On cross-examination by Assistant State's Attorney McKwen, Dr. Merril lat was led into a flat contradiction of Dr. Allport as to the identification of a hog femur. Yesterday Dr. Allport positively identified the bone as the up per part of the femur of a hog. This morning. Dr. Merrillat just as posi tively stated the bone was the lower part of the femur. "Sure?" queried Assistant State's Attorney McKwen. "Sure" echoed the witness. "You could not be mistaken?" "T think not, no sir." "That's all" remarked Mr. McEwen smiling as he toyed with the femur of the hog. Dr. J. Hughes, of the Chicago Vet erinary college was next called to the stand and told what he knew about bones to the phonograph and incident ally also to the attorneys and the jury. His evidence did not differ materially from that of the other experts. Later Prof. Kckley, of the Chicago College of Physicians and Surgeons was called and questioned at length regarding ses amoids, femurs, temporals and other bones. Luetgert was apparently in the best of spirits and good humor and laughed frequently over the tilts between coun sel. fslRS. LGTRY RETIRES The Jersey Lily Gives Up the Stage Will Keep IJer Horses. London, Oct. 2. Mrs. Langtry makes the announcement that she has retired from the stage and that her steam yacht, Whyte Ladye, will be sold. Her racing stable, which is conducted un der the name of "Mr. Jersey," will be retained and her horses run as hereto fore. SHE SOLD HER HUSBAND. A Remarkable Matrimonial Deal Con summated In St. Louis. St. Louis, Oct. 2. John A. Truitt, a conductor on the Northern Central electric street car line, was sold today by his wife for 54,000 to a woman who declares that she loves the man more than his wife does. The deal was the sequel to the follow ing remarkable statement made to Mrs. Truitt by a Mrs. Stephens, who lives in this city with her father: "Mrs. Truitt: I love your husband and I want him. I have traveled the world over and he is the first man I ev er loved. I will give you $4,000 cash for him if you will give him up." Truitt, who is the father of four chil dren, seems to agree to the deal. It is stated that last Thursday Mrs. Truitt. knowing that her husband loved another, attempted to take her life by swallowing a big dose of morphine. Died on His Birthday. Samuel Cobb, who lives six miles west of Topeka, died last night at 7 o'clock, it being his S3 birthday. Mr. Cobb came to Kansas in 18,0 and settled on the farm where he died. He was born in Mahoning county, Ohio, and moved from there here. He leaves a widow and four daughters Mrs. A. H. Buck mon and Mrs. H. W. Peart of Hering ton. Mrs. L. T. Yoimt and Mrs. John W. Marsh of Topeka. The funeral will take place Sunday at 10 o'clock from the home of the deceased. The interment will be in Mission Center cemetery. NOTHING BUT TROUBLE Attended the Encampment of the Kansas National Guard Here. All during the encampment of the K. N. O. there has been trouble. The first trouble arose from the fact that the different companies failed to obey the orders issued. Each company was prdered to bring rations enough to last until Monday af ternoon, as- they would receive no ra tions from the camp quartermaster, Maj. Seers, until time for supper Mon day. Many of the companies failed to bring enough to last until they were issued supplies, and the different companies that went hungry blamed the officers in charge of the camp for the neglect. All during theweek the line officers and men complained of the food. In common camp parlance, Lhey "kicked on the grub." They complained that they did not have enough meat. A ration of meat for each man and for a day is a pound. While on the march from Ft. Riley here, the regulars were put on march ing rations, and received 10 2-3 ounces of meat and two meals a day. After the flurry of the food question, the militia undertook to run. the fair grounds, and thought that the civil of ficers had no right to arrest them for violating any law. They were mistak en, and quite a number have slept in the city jail. There have been two or three riots. The civil officers were sup ported by the commissioned officers of the guard, and serious trouble was avoided. The staff officers of the guard are very much annoyed over the state of affairs and are not at all in favor of holding another state encampment un der such conditions. On. Charles McCrum said: "We have been placed under very try ing circumstances and we have had a great deal to contend with. Right in the midst of our camp is a large sized beer joint. It has lieen pulled several times, but it has been kept running and it is impossible to keep our hoys out of it. We are not in camp under pay, as we should be, and we cannot command the boysorplacethe restriction around them that we should. There was not enough money appropriated for the en campment, and it was by the aid of a good donation from the Committee of Fifteen that we were brought here. but. we came to make a show, and not for real work, and with all this excitement going on on the grounds, discipline and order is unavoidably free and easy. I am not at all in favor of another en campment under such circumstances." Col. Hoisington said: "If we were in camp by ourselves and not where the men could come in con tact with the bad influences that they are subject to here all fehe time, we would show the people a well behaved and orderly set of men. The stand-men and fakirs still remember an episode of 11 years ago, when the militia was encamped here and raided some fake shows. The proprietors of such places are afraid of trouble and bitterly de nounce the men without cause. We have never had any such trouble before since mv connection with the guard." The militia may be a well behaved set when they are away from civilization, but they are not here by any means. Xesterdav afternoon a crowd of 100 gathered" in front of the fair grounds gate, holloing and yelling "right this way for an escort. Ladies escorted in to the grounds free of charge. Here's vour uniformed escorts." Every uni formed man was allowed to take a lady in free, but the gatekeepers soon put a stop to this. MISS WHITNEY GOES HOME. She Will Be the Guest of the Veiled Prophets Next Week. Miss Edna Whitney, the Queen of the Carnival, her mother and younger sis- ,tr.tlny Vio occnrl of Mr tnhn O Waters, left over the Santa Fe at 1:55 o'clock this afternoon for Chillicothe. Mr. Waters will go to Chillicothe and return tomorrow evening. Miss Whit ney is delighted with the reception giv en her during her stay here. Speaking of it she said today: "I think Topeka is just the nicest place I was ever in. Everyone has been so kind to me.and this has been a great week for me. I will be glad to get home for I am so tired. I will rest a little there, and then go to St. Louis Mon day where I have been invited as an honored guest at the Veiled Prophets' ball." During Miss Whitney's visit in To peka she was escorted on all occasions bv Charles K. Holliday, John F. Mc Manus, Dr. G. P. Ashton and John Waters, who were a committee of Kar nival Knights appointed to show her the courtesies of the occasion. LOO KING INTO Till NGS. Inspector of Steam Vessels Making Investigations. San Francisco. Oct. 2. -James A. Du mont. supervising inspector of steam vessels, is in the city on official busi ness. He came west by way of Puget Sound and Portland. He spent two days in Seattle during which time he gave his attention several cases which have been before the local inspectors of that place recently. The cases of the officers of the steam er Mexico, who were suspended from duty for their responsibility in the loss of the vessel on the Alaskan coast re cently were taken under advisement. He also investigated during his stay in Seattle the charges made against the local inspectors for permitting tne steamer Eiiza Anderson to sail for Alas ka He is inclined to think they acted in good faith, as they were both anx ious to sail on the vessel themselves. A NEW DR EI BUND Is Advocated in Franco to Include the United States. Paris Oct. 2. The Eclaire today ad vocates' a Franco-Russian-American dreibund. In so doing that paper says it considers America s commercial and agricultural support necessary even in the case of a Franco-German war and expresses the hope that the new French ambassador to the L'nited States, M.

Three Hundred Million People of India Look to the Nebraskanas Their Savior. HE MUST WIS IN 1900 Says Prof. Chosh of the Cal cutta University, Unless Something Comes of the Wolcott Commission. New York, Oct. 2. Prof. A. S. Chosh of the Calcutta university, a native East Indian, sets forth in an article en titled "India's Cause for Silver," in the October number of the North American Review, the reasons why the people of India desire the re-opening of the In dian mints. Prof. Chosh arraigns the British gov ernment for blocking the way to an in ternational agreement for the remone tization of silver, charging that by closing the Indian mints, it has con fiscated one-half of the wealth of the people of the Indian empire. He expresses the opinion that Eng land may be forced out of regard to her own interests to change her course and he concluded: "If, however, notwithstanding every entreaty, she proves false to her own and the world's interests, then she may learn to her cost that other nations can act without her and may see the very thing come to pass in retribution which she so long opposed. If she still continues to block the way, if Senator Wolcott's mission fails, and the Indian mints remain unopened, then the last hope of India must lie in Mr. Bryan. "If three years hence his efforts are crowned with success, which necessar ily they must be if nothing is done meanwhile to solve the great question, he will perhaps find the gold worship pers of Europe, headed by England, waiting in trepidation in his ante chamber to entreat an international agreement. That will be the hour of his triumph and in the anticipation of it the three hundred millions of India will wish him godspeed with all the power of their stricken hearts." IT COST ssboo For the Committee of Fifteen to Give the Festival. Treasurer Greenwald of the Commit tee of Fifteen is not yet able to tell ex actly how the Festival finances stand. The paid entertainments were disap pointments from a financial standpoint owing to the fact that the militia threw every possible obstacle in the way of collection of gate receipts. The Committee of Fifteen lost enough by the outrageous conduct of members of the Kansas National Guard at the gates to have paid their expenses. Last year the receipts from the sham battle were $3,900. This year with the same charge at the gate and a larger crowd they were but a trifle over $1, 300. Every one who could worked the gate keepers. People on the free list grumbled because they were not al lowed to take a dozen people in with them. The receipts from the various paid entertainments according to P. I. Bone brake who had charge of the gates are as follows: Tuesday $1,300 Wednesday, no charge. Thursday afternoon 800 Fr.day 1,300 Total $3,400 These figures have not yet been checked up and a few tickets were sold up town which may raise the total $100 or $200. The shows, street parades and so forth cost the committee considerably more than last year. The expense of the Kansas National Guard will be much greater and there will be the cost of the Indians, the Knights' tourna ment feature and similar expenditures which will raise the grand total of ex penses, according to Treasurer Green wa'd, dangerously near $14,000. The committee will have by subscrip tions and balance left from last year about $S,000, though part of this year's subscriptions are still uncollected. This with the receipts from the shows at the grounds will make the receipts on all accounts this year about $11,400. If Treasurer Greenwald is eorrect about the expenses this would leave a deficit of $2,600. which is about what the sur plus was last year. It is the bringing of the militia here which was a heavy expense that will be responsible for the deficit, if there is one. LOCAL .MENTION. Last night on Kansas avenue J. W. Matheny was intoxicated and he struck a special policeman with his fist. The officer arrested him and he was fined $5. Francis Bonebrake, the little son of F. M. Bonebrake, won the first prize in the Floral parade for the best decorat ed pony ridden by a boy under 15. His name was omitted in the published list of the awards. The Atchison band, that splendid mu sical organization, gave the superb pro gramme printed in last evening's Jour nal. The members played till dark at the east steps of the state house, and the programme finished at the Journal corner. Atchison may well be as proud of her band as Topeka is of Marshall's. During the Karnival Knights ball last night at Hamilton hall a party of young men dressed as Zulus, rushed up stairs from the street and pushed past the doorkeeper, and entering the center of the hall danced a war dance. Danc ers made a large space for them, and they executed a fancy dance, which was somewhat realistic. Otto Kuehne then called them back and they wer.t away. A fencing contest by two Knights in armor was given, and when the swords struck the steel mail the ladies said "Oh," sympathetically. Funeral of John Hawk. The funeral of the late John Hawk will be held at the residence of A. F. Wessen, 324 Hancock street, at 4 p. m. Sunday. FOR PICKING POCKETS. Small Boy Arrested Who Strongly Protests His Innocence. Thomas Lewis, a 13 year old boy, was arrested at the fair ground yesterday afternoon for picking an old lady's pocket. Young Lewis lives in Kansas City, Mo., and ha:f been stopping with Special Policeman Farnsworth during the Festival. The officers arrested Lewis and telephoned for the patrol wagon. The patrol came and the boy was bundled into the wagon and taken to the city jail and afterwards turned over to the sheriff. The boy is confined in the county jail. He said, between his sobs, "I was in the grand stand all alone, another boy that I did not know was crowding around the woman who lost the pocket book. I looked down on the floor and saw the pocket book lying there. I picked it up and started to hand it to the woman when she grabbed me and accused me of stealing it. If any one stole it, it must have been the other boy." A woman who was sitting in the grand stand close to the place where the trouble was. said she saw Lewis pick up the pocket book from the floor and look around to see whom it might belong to and then start toward the lady who lost it. County Jailer Leach is not at all backward in saying what he thinks about the arrest. "All the notorious crooks and thieves have teen allowed to go scot free and the police make a great spread and arrest a small boy and lock him up. I do not think for a minute the boy is guilty." Lewis was taken before Justice Guy this morning and the case set for next week. Judge Guy wrote the boy's parents this morning and will set the case for some time next week when the father can be here. The fath- r's name is James Lewis. 1025 East Eighteenth street, Kansas City, Mo. He is a gas fitter. During the time between now and the trial Lewis will remain in the county jail. KNOCKS A "MELISH." Major Anderson Has a Personal Encounter With One of the Rowdies. Maj. T. J. Anderson is wearing band ages on his right hand this morning, and a member of the K. N. G. has a black eye. When Maj. Anderson came up from the camp last evening he was not in good humor. He had seen the K. N. G. imposing upon the gatekeepers. So when he heard a man who wore the uniform of the militia abusing Topeka, he informed him that the conduct of the soldiers had been ungentlemanly and generally bad. The militiaman retorted sharply. Major Anderson was in a white heat. His long right arm was drawn back, and the next minute the militiaman was sprawling on the pavement. His companions did not say a word, and Major Anderson strode majestically away. CAN'T STOP THE SALE. Success of the Denver Courts to Pre vent XT. P. Sale is Doubted. Denver, Col., Oct. 2. A special to the Times from Omaha says: Local lawyers and railroad officials ridicule the idea that the injunction of the district court at Denver, directed to the receivers of the LTnion Pacific re straining them from selling the real estate of the company as ordered by the federal court, on account of the claims of the heirs of ex-Governor Evans, can prevent the sale. No at tention will be paid to the order it is said. The local sheriff today served the papers however, and says the Den ver court will find a way of enforcing its decree, at least as far as disposing of real estate in Colorado is concerned. ELECTRIC SEAL BRANDING. Stanford Party Meet With Success at Pribyloff. Palo Alto. Cal.. Oct. 2. The members of the Stanford party engaged in branding seals by electricity on Priby loff islands, arrived on the Campus yesterday. They claim that the exper iment of branding of the seals was successful. Beside the work of taking the seal census and building a fence enclosing the salt lagoon to prevent the redriving of bachelor seals a number of bird skins, skeletons, insects and marine invertebrata were collected. The par ty consisted of Greely '98: Snodgrass, '99: Edwards. 1900; Bristow, Adams, 1900, and Instructor Farmer. CHRISTENS MARLBOROUGH. Duke and Duchess of York Will Be Sponsors for the Infant. London, Oct. 2. The Marlborough baby will be christened at Blenheim towards the end of October and it is reported that the Duke and Duchess of York, who will visit the Duke and Duchess of Marlborough for the shoot ing season, will be the sponsors of the infant. EARTH ON FIRE. Farms Are Burning Up in Iroquois County, 111. Kankakee, 111., Oct. 2. A strange phe nomenon is exciting Watseka, in Iro quois county. The earth is on fire. The old slough beds burn like dry peat in the hot weather, the conflagration ex tending three or four feet into the ground. Portions of several farms are affect ed and in several instances buildings have only been saved by timely work. Nothing can extinguish the fires but a drenching rain. Fortunately, progress of the flames is slow. Police Record of the Week. This was a record breaker for the police department. For the entire week from Sunday to today noon the police made 166 arrests. This is four times the number of arrests made by the police during last Festival week. Of the num ber of arrerts made, 40 were for drunk enness. Several pickpockets were ar rested, 16 in number. For liquor sell ing and charges of maintaining nui sances in the forms of beer joints. there were 14 arrests. There were eight ar rests for robbery and larceny, and six for resisting officers. Free exhibit paintings and sketches, American and European, by the late Arthur Peck, 835 Monroe street, every afternoon except Mondays. TOO MUCH GOLD. Banks Have so Much of the Tel low Metal That They Don't Know What To Do With It. TBEASURY MAY GET IT There is a Corresponding Sear city of Greenbacks. The Situation is Likely to Stop Their Retirement. New York, Oct. 2. The plethora of gold in the banks and the treasury and the scarcity of greenbacks is causing banks some difficulty in making their payments at the clearing house in bills and may cause most of them in a short while to return to the practice of years ago. and settle their daily debt balances in gold. The first movement in this direction was made when the National Park bank paid its entire debit balance of $;iS6,000 in gold. Two other banks have also paid gold in settlement of the debit balance. It is considered likely that other banks will have to follow suit shortly. Just at present the banks mostly prefer to receive bills rather than gold in payment of their credit balances. The gold is paid into the clearing house in i the shape of clearing house gold cer tificates which is the most convenient form of payment, as it does not involve any counting or handling of so much coin. BIG LEAK AT FAIRGROUNDS Militia Tore Down the Fence Admit ting 6,000 People Free. Yesterday afternoon while the crowd at the gates of the fair grounds, was1 the largest and the ticket sellers and ticket takers were busy handling the throng that was going to attend the sham battle, a crowd of about 200 milt t amen torn down the east fence of the fair grounds for a distance of about 100 yards and let in several thousand people free. The nvlltia men went to the cars and guided the people to the open.ng and let them in. They went to people in wagons and told them they could go in free. In a very few min utes the crowd understood the situa tion and made a rush for the opening. Some of the officers of the companies were aiding in the scheme and when Major Tom Anderson arrived at the sc-ene a young lieutenant got a little too fresh with the Major and was knocked down for his ungentlemaniy conduct by the irate Major and in structed to learn better manners. The Major's hand is badly swollen and is today done up in a bandage. Before the rush could be stopped and the fence repaired enough people got in. ac cording to Major Anderson's estimate, to cheat the Committee of Fifteen out of about $1.:0" MEAL DOW DEAD.

Make the Passengers Get Out and Line Up. TAKE ALL VALUABLES They Then Rifle the Registered Mail Pouches. Try to Open the Express Com pany's Safe, But Fail. El Reno, I. T., Oct. 2. Bandits rob bed the southVound Rock Island pas senger train and all its passengers yes terday at Siding No. 1. about Ave miles south of Miaco, in the Indian Territo ry. The railroad and express officials have feared a hold up in that section for several weeks, and armed guards have been put aboard all right trains at El Reno and carried through to Chickasha. It had not been thought that the out laws would be bold enough to attack a train in mid-day. The trainmen were completely surprised, and they were not prepared to offer any resistance when five masked men came upon them at the lonely siding. The place is uninhabited, and the on ly persons in the vicinity at the time were four section men. These section men flagged the train, the robbers hav ing compelled them to do so. The ban dits were hidden at the time in a brush pile, and jumped out as soon as the passenger train had taken the siding. Under the pressure of Winchesters and ugly looking six shooters the trainmen, the express messenger, and all of the score or more of passengers were made to climb down from the train and stand in line, hands up, on the prairie along the railway. While three of the robbers covered the badly frightened crowd with their guns, the other two coolly and carefully rob bed them, passing from one passenger to another down the line. The bandits secured about $300 in cash and such val uables, in the way of watches, pins and Jewelry, as were in sight. The passengers and trainmen having been thoroughly plucked, three of the bandits turned their attention to the express and mail coaches, the others standing guard over the helpless crowd on the prairie. The registered mail pouches were qu.ckly riiied, but the through safe in the express car resisted all the force and ingenuity of the road agents. When the passengers had convinced the ban dits that they could not open the strong box, they resorted to dynamite. Several heavy charges were exploded, but the safe proved bandit proof, and though it was badly battered, its contents was saved to the express company. Having taken forcible possession of everything that they could carry away, the bandits mounted their horses and rode off toward the west. As soon as the trainmen could collect their wits, they got their scared pas sengers aboard and hurried on to the next station south. Chickasha. from which point the railroad officials were notified of the hold up. At Chickasha a posse of citizens was hurriedly form ed. These citizens set out in pursuit of the gang and officers have been dis patched from El Keno and other points in this section. It is hardly possible that the bandits can be overtaken in the prairie, and they will probably be able to reach the Wichita mountains, to the west of the scene of the hold up. Of ficers here believe the gang to be the same one that held up Santa Fe trains at Edmunds tvice during last month. A sensational feature of the hold up Is a statement made by the conductor of the looted train. During the robbery one of the bandits touched his mask, his features for a moment being wholly exposed. The conductor of the train states that this man was Al Jennings, ex-county attorney of Canadian county, Oklaho ma, whose father is now probate judge of Pottawatomie county. Oklahoma.The family is from Kentucky, and Al Jen rings was educated at the University of Svest Virginia. His brother. Edward Jennings, was killed by Temple Houston, in a shooting Fcrape at Woodward, Oklahoma, some two vears ago. Al Jennings was shot in the arm dur ing the same affray. The family is known throughout Oklahoma, Kansas and Colorado. No Oranges. There are no oranges on the market Just at present.

TVork on the repairs to the second class battleship Texas is rapidly nearing completion and she- will be ready to join the squadron next week. Both the bow and stein torpedo outfits are being- removed. They have been found to be practically useless, as tor pedoes could not be fired from them with out danger to the vessel. Twenty of the crew of the Texas deserted her while she was in dry dock. The Texas has been particularly unfor tunate with her crew. They have de serted at every opportunity. The vessel is uncomfortable. The engine rooms are so situated that it is impossible to keep them cool, and the living quarters of the crew are also unnecessarily heated.

A Dozen People Meet Tragic Deaths in New York In the Short Space of Twenty Four Hours. GAS HAS PHEFEItENCE As a Means For Ending Their Earthly Existence. Poison and Shooting Help to Make Up the List. New York, Oct. 2. Nearly a score of unfortunates met tragic deaths in and about the city yesterday. It was suicide day. To some, death came in aleep; several suffered the ag onies that come with caustic poisons: shooting was found an easy way to rid one of the burdens of life; a convict cut his throat with a piece of glass. One, a woman, brought four children for a day's pleasure in the metropolis. She and the children are dead now. A phy sician in high standing who came here with his bride of an hour, leaped from a window- in his apartments in a mo ment, his friends say, of frenzy. No day within recent years has been so replete with tales of weak human nature. Here is the list: airs. Caroline Rivinius of West Point, N. Y., and her children, Laura, 15 years old; William, aged 11; Albert, 8, and Elizabeth, a, found dead in the West Shore hotel at Forty-second street and Eleventh avenue asphyxiated by gas, thought to be murder and suicide. Harmon S. Burt of Norwich, Conn., registered at the Devonshire hotel, east Forty-second street as E. W. Smith of Providence. R. I.; found dead in bed from poison. Man registered as C. E. Kroyce, San Franciseo.found dead at the Grand Un ion hotel. A tube through which gas was Mowing from an open jet was in his mouth. Nothing was found by which he might be identified. Dr. Kotiert W. Flagg, a prominent young physician of Yonkers, who came to this city with his bride, leaped from a window in his apartment in the Hur ray Hill hotel, for what reason is not at present known, fractured his skull and injured himself otherwise so badly that he died. Theodore Miller, a clothing cutter, out of work, killed himself by shooting, at his boarding house on Seventh avenue. Rudolph Knoche. out of work, drank carbolic acid and died an hour later. At White Plains, Edward L. Hafner and Frank C. Holly of Norwalk, Conn., the former a cigar merchant and the latter in the employ of a druggist's sup ply company, were found dead in their apartments, asphyxiated by gas. At a picnic in the outskirts of Brook lyn, Wm. Klinger killed John McNally by a blow with his list. Mrs. Bertha Hummell died in the Se ney hospital in Brooklyn from the ef fects of carbolic acid, which she took at her home while despondent this morn ing. She was married and leaves two child ren. Julia Cotto of Brooklyn, worn out by family troubles, ended her life tonight by a draught of carbolic acid. George Martin,, serving a sentence for burglary in the Kings county peni tentiary, cut his throat this afternoon with a piece of glass, part of a broken lamp chimney, and cannot recover. Michael Walsch was found dead at the Fulton hotel, from the effects, it is believed, of drugs. SECOND SILVER WEDDING. Unique Matrimonial Record of James W. Twaits of Saginaw. Saginaw, Mich.. Oct. 2.

A very ingenious and valuable contrivance for the sav ing of life by preventing railroad acci dents through forgetfulness of train men has been invented. The machine tiej just stood a very severe test on the Great Northern railroad after hav ing been previously operated success fully on the St. Paul Duluth road. Practical railroad men in this section have given strong endorsements to the device after seeing its work. The object of the device is to provide an accurate and reliable reminder sig nal and distance indicator for locomo tives, by means of which enginers are prevented from forgetting their train orders as to stopping or meeting points. The mechanism is simply but positive ly connected with the forward trucks of the engine thereby accurately meas uring the distance traveled, the dial placed in front of the engineer, showing correctly the distance traveled. Above the smaller of the two dials are placed 15 triggers or dogs pivoted at equal distances around the centre. When the engineer receives his orders he sets one or more of these triggers to a point one mile short of the distance to be traveled before reaching stopping place. The mileage indicator on reach ing such point, releases the trigger, which starts a signal whistle blowing. This continues to blow for one quarter of a mile, promptly warning the engi neer of the near approach to stopping place. If the engineer is inattentive and fails to stop when this last mile has been run over.the machine sets the air brake and stops the train for him. A train similarly equipped coming in the opposite direction would be stopped in the same manner and a colision pre vented. The device can be made to run forward or backward. For foggy or stormy weather, or for dark nights the device is considered especially val uable for ordinary road use although its life saving feature was the point at first sought by Mr. Wallace. After a trial on the St. Paul and Du luth and repeated trials on the Fergus Falls division of the Great Northern, the new invention was given an unus ual test on the recent trip of President J. J. Hill to the coast and back. For this trip the new fcheme on one engine. No. 663 with Engineer Kilbane for the entire trip was tried and the new life saving device was on the en gine. For the 1.S20 miles to Seattle on the Great Northern 197 to Portland on the Northern Pacific 450 to Spokane on the Oregon railway and Navigation company line and through Montana back to St. Paul, the new device meas ured all distances with accuracy and by other tests completely demonstra ted its ability to do all claimed for it. President Hill has approved it with considerable enthusiasm as have other officials on his road. During the past few months, this new device has been used successfully on over 7.000 miles of road. A peculiar feature of the test is the fact that it has been made with the inventor's working model. THINK US LAND GRABBERS. Europe Thinks the United State Wants the Earth. Berlin. Oct. 2. The officials of the United States embassy and of the Uni ted States consulate here, say there is no truth in the story, contained in a dispatch from Berlin to the London Daily Chronicle, saying that President McKinley has instructed the new Uni ted States consul general at Berlin in the absence of Ambassador White, who has been spending a fortnight at Iler insi?dorf, to give an opinion as to the alteration of the Samoan treaty and that it was believed the United States intended to invite a new conference on the subject. It was added that Germany was cer tain to object strenuously to any weak ening of her hold on Samoa and that the complete cession of the group of islands to Great Britain would meet with far more support in Berlin than would an occupation of the islands. The Vossische Zeitung expresses the opin ion that Samoa ought to become Ger man, as two-thirds of the land is own ed by Germans. The Vossische Zeitung also says: "The existing treaty must be abolish ed and order re-established." Other newspapers express similar views on the subject. Negroe3 Hang a White Woman. Richmond, Va., Oct. 2. An afternoon paper here prints a story of the lynch ing of a white woman in the Massanut ten mountains, in the western part of Vir ginia. The dispatch was sent from Cow an's depot, in Rockingham county. The sender states that "Pet" Hall's body was found in the mountains dangling from the end of a rope which was tied to the limb of a tree. Hunters discovered it. The woman had been dead two or three days. She was a bad character and was the victim of tar and feathers some time ago. She had no home, but stayed anywhere she could find lodging. Often she slept in the fields. Negroes lynched her, but the cause of their action Is not explained.

A FIKE AT CANTON Cremates Seventeen Horses Otlier Damajre. Democrats of Gray County Nominate a Ticket. Columbus, Oct. 2. The Staffleback family was sentenced yesterday. EJ and tJeurge Staiileback, convicted ot murder in the first decree, were given life sentences in the penitentiary, and old ilrs. StatF.ebaek, who was convict ed as an accessory, got 21 years. They murdered Frank Galbreath at Oaiena last June, then robbed the body and threw it into an abandoned shaft. Mike StafHebatk was in jail for bur glary at that time, hence was not im plicated in the Galbreath murder. Ho i. leaded guilty to burglary and was sentenced to live years' imprisonment. Mike Staffieback is charged with being one of the principals in the murder of the peddler and two girls and throw ing their bodies in another old shaft two years ago. In a recent conversation with a fel low prisoner, Kd Stalrleback said that the truth had never been told concern ing (laibrettth's murder. He denied tiarttcii.atins in it. V.ut rays he saw his brother George and Charlie Wilson, j Mrs. Staiiieuack's alleged husband, kill j Galbreath early in the evening. lie says Galbreath had a friend with him I and the friend ran away, but returned later in the night to look for Galbret'th. He says he looked out the window while in bed and saw George and Wilson throw a man's body in the shaft near est to the Staffi-Lack house, one that litis si. it b .-en searched. Many pers. n suppose that if Kd Staf flcWii'K fa.v a man murdered and tin-own into the shaft described that man was Galbreath's companion. TT. B.

URY OF CURES -9 Sri TKii RECORD OF Ayer's Snrsaparllia. WOMAN BULL FIGHTER. Beautiful Donna Pledros, Spain's Fa vorite Matador. Now that woman has usurped man's place in many occupations, it is not at all surprising: that she has entered the arena where bulis are killed in civil ized Spain. Spain can boast of three women who are bull fighters, despite their supposedly gentle sex. One of them is a matador, who kills the animal after it has been tormented and wound ed and the otker two are toreadors, who worry and injure the beast. Ail three aire young and beautiful, says the Xew York Journal, and all three are the idols of the public. The principal one is Donna Piedros, the matador. She is 22. remarkably hand some, with big black eyes and long raven hair. She has been in the ring for six years and during that time Ilos been in danger repeatedly. When first she made known her inten tion of entering the arena there was a howl of protest, but she persisted, and when she made her first appearance she was showered with flowers. Since then she has been in the ring once every month, and on several occasions has been more or less injured. Her part of the work consisted in giv ing the quietus to the bull after he had been disabled Toy the toreadors. She did this with a sharp, two-edged sword, which she plunged into the heart or neck of the beast. The animals have a bad habit of making a last desperate rally and of charging upon their tor mentors. In this way Donna Piedros has been face to face with a horribla death more than once. Her two feminine competitors are the pisters Pretel, Lola and Angelica, who, -r i 5i fT-s'e:- V.Y i vr i it.' 'ti i .ii. T-rx p. DONNA PIEDROS. (Famous Woman Bullfighter in the Cos tume She Wears in the Arena.) althoutrh they fight bulls in Spain, yei are German, hailing from Brandenburg. 'Phey are extremely beautiful, scarcely out of their teens, and are brilliant and daring riders. Their exploits in the bull rings have been the themes of Spanish poets, they are the pets of the populace, and for their achievements in thearena they receive great financial reward. They were originally circus riders. Their manager, being struck with their eoiiestrian ability, determined to make bull figiiters of them. He took them Seville, where there is a school devoted to the fine aTt of killing a bull. Thera the two girls killed a stuffed bull three or four times a day until finally they were allowed to practice on a live bull. From that they were graduated to the ring proper, and quickly won renown by their daring. Donna Piedros wears a divided skirt when in the ring, while the Pretel sis ters wear the regulation man's bull fighting costume. The former does all her work cm foot, while the latter two ride horses. Tluit bull fighting- is still the Spanish national pastime is shown by the statis tics for the season from April 5 to Oc tober 20 of last year. During that period there were 47S fights: 1.21S bulls, valued at $300,000, and 5,730 horses, val ued at $200,000, were killed; 25 matadors were employed, their earnings amount ing to $221,500. The famous Guerrita appeared in C3 fights and made $51,000. killing 174 bulls. Bombita fought 43 times, killed 112 bulls and received $21,000 for his labors. Moz zantini foxtght 29 times, killed 63 bulls and earned $21,700. The three women mentioned are not classified as to eithcx killing or earning capacity. Take Can of Yourself.

Medical Reporter. Complexion (nd Marrinsre. A statistician has discovered that the number of dnrk-liaired giris who marry greatly exceed the fair ones, owing to man's choice and not to the redundancy of brunettes, by showing that a major ity of women who live and die ucmar ried have fair hair and blue eyes, says Form. This is a little surprising, for blonds are so much more confiding and inclined to sentiment than brunettes that one would imagine they were more attractive to men. Perhaps the ordi nary man fails to reach the ideal stand ard of maiden fancy, and this may be why so many golden-haired dreamers prefer to remain single, thus leaving the mere practical dark-haired maidens to make wives.

In some parts of Hungary the most beautiful and intricate embroidery is done by the peasant women, who work all summer in the fields at the hardest labor, spending their winters in the art which one naturally thinks calls for delicate fingers and refined touch. As certain birds sing in their own way, as the Sioux Indians astonish, us HUNGARIAN ARM CHAIR. with skillful designs in color with beads, in the same manner these Hun garian peasants do marvelous work. The needlework is most delicate, the pattern raised in silk or cotton and so exact that it seems to have been done by mechanical means. The chair shown is one upholstered in this work. It was made for Archduke Ferdinand tl'Este. The chief personage interested in this work is Archduchess Isabella, the wife of Archduke Frederick, nephew and heir to the richest untitled man in Aus tria. She is devoted to benevolence.and charity and is active in furthering the working institution for the development of this industry. At the Buda-Peeth exhdbiton last year much of this em broidery was shown, and foreigners would not believe it was the work of ignorant, uncultured and rough peas ants. The work done includes blouses made and embroidered in silk, altar cloths and all kinds of church em broidery, tablecloths and curtains. SHE KEPT ACCOUNTS. And Because Slie Doctored Them S!ie I.ofc t a Husband. There is a Xorth side girl who has a laudable ambition to know just where her money goes. She has tried two or three times to keep mental track of her expenditures, but this always proved unsatisfactory. At last she de cided that she must keep an exact and minute account of ever3"thing she spent. She got her a small book with rulings and margins and a pliable cover and set to work in earnest. She put down re ligiously everything she spent, the ex act amount, the article and the date. She never alLowed the slightest matter to go till there was a chance of her for getting it. When she made any pur chases downtown she went over the list carefully in the car on her way home, and put the amounts on the out side of a package. In this way she suc ceeded in keeping a very satisfactory record of her expenditures. There was only one drawback. She was forever leaving the book around. Of course, there are a great many peo ple who are ouly too glad to read such things. The servant would see it, the man who came to tune the piano might easily had done it if he liked, and she did not know whether he had or not. A neighbor had once picked it up on the lawn in front of the house and brought it in. B-ut what was worse than all the rest was the fact that a couple of girl friends perused it one day. There were some things which she had talked a good deal ar.iout that she got for down right bargains. In fact, after the catas trophe everything on her record seemed to be shamefully cheap. However, she was unwilling to give up the bookkeep ing, and if she didn't carry a note book around with her she would certainly forget something, so she bethought herself of another expedient. She de termined for the purpose of mystifica tion to multiply everything she? put down by ten. That is, to acid a cipher to each entry. In this way she could al ways tell that every item really cost one-tenth of what appeared on the book. After this she didn't care who saw it. There is a lot at the side of her father's house and a rustic seat. One day she left the book on this scat. In the even ing the young man who had about con cluded to ask her hand in marriage I came along. lie noticed the book, i picked it up, and looked through it care lessly. He was amazed. She had al ways claimed to be such a prudent girl and he had believed she was. Still there he saw: Candv 3 0C Gloves 11 00 Fiowors 4 (K Gum 53 Soda water 2 00 f an 22 cr.

In order to put himself out of any possibility of such a thing he married soon afterward a girl on the West side who never kept any accounts. Chicago Tribune. Care of Dlaclt Hosier?. Never wash black hose in water in which white clothes have been washed, because the lint will stick to them and soon make them look gray. The best way to wash black hose is to take them by themselves and wash in ammonia water with some good soap. Rinse in very blue water and hang wrong side out. in a place sheltered from the sun. but where they will dry quickly. Al ways shake and brush stockings well before putting into the water and turn all colors wrong side out. Then if they have a mind to streak tbe streaks will be on the inside, where they will not show. Washington Star. MrBaO'p if 0;0t$ I 7 T;''ryz I r.. lrjT$ r Yvs-'-r-! f FEVEK MAKES WOtlK.

Today marked the close of what has been, taking it all together, per haps, the most successful and enjoyable series of entertainments ever offered to the public in this part of the United States. This; is no boast. Many peoplewho have seen pageants similar in character to those presented this week are ready to testify that they never saw the pa rade of Wednesday or that of Thurs day equalled anywhere. There have been pageants arranged for one day and to carry out one idea, which have made famous the cities presenting them. But it can be assert ed without fear of contradiction that never before have so many and so var ied features been presented in the same space of time and so uniform a degree of excellence. People from a distance who have ta ken advantage of Topeka's effort to entertain them can hardly have any proper idea of the amount of time, money and labor expended. The amount of patriotic devotion to civic pride and the self-sacrifice on the part of Topeka's citizens necessary to pro duce the week's entertainment cannot be estimated. Their efforts have been crowned with success, the people came and were pleased and Topeka is satis fied. In addition to the thousands of dol lars expended by the various commit tees other thousands were spent in decorations and costumes by the citi zens individually. orations by the citizens individually. To the fraternal societies, the firemen, the military and the musical organiza tions from abroad who contributed so liberally to the success of the week Topeka must ever feel grateful. To the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe railway officials and employes too much credit cannot be accorded, not only for their assistance in furnishing the great est parade of the week, but for help all along the line. Of the thousands of Topeka citizens who have contributed time and money it can be said, they have done their duty nobly, many of them their own duty and their neighbor s. Their re ward will come to them in future mem ories and in witnessing the growth and progress of the city. In addition to this will come the feel ing that they have been discharging a debt. The people of Kansas, through their representatives have been liberal In the expenditure of public money in the capital city; so also has the Santa Fe railroad. Topeka has been en able to show the appreciation of both at the same time. PEOPLE YOU HEAR, OF. The park commissioners of Roches ter, M.

It is understood that a syndicate has 'cornered"all of Whistler's future work in England, securing exclusive control, and that a gallery exclusively Whist lerian will be opened shortly.

In a recent interview, which Js recorded in a Russian paper, he has Stated his strong objection to Wagner, whom he looks upon as a decadent. Further he says that he is not compre hensive to common folks. Mrs. Jefferson Davis, when told of the criticism that had been excited in the south by her removal from her old home at Beauvoir to Mew York, said that her principal reason for moving was her health, but that she was also influenced by the isolation of her south ern home and the annoyance of sight Beers who visited the oid home of the confederacy. Senator Hoar said the other day in addressing a graduating class of young women at a normal school in Massa chusetts: "Whatever plans or vows of celibacy may prevail among the young ladies who get onto your catalogue. I suspect a large number of them will get married. The microbe or bacillus of matrimony cannot be kept out by any diet or exterminated by any doctor." Following the continental superstition that a successful literary man must be a good politician, Gabriele d'Annunzio Is running at Pescara for the Italian parliament and making poetic speeches.

ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. Now for the auditorium. The Fall Festival is over and the public spirited citizens who have the Auditorium pro ject in charge have nothing in their way. It was necessary in the excite ment which accompanied the arrange ments for the Fall Festival, to aban don the Auditorium but not a single one of the promoters had any other thought but it would be taken up as soon as the Festival was a thing of the past. Never was the need of an Auditor ium more apparent than during the Fall Festival which closed today. The floor of the Grand Court ball was too small to accommodate the crowds who were on the dancing floor. The Karni val ball was a bewildering jam of tiu manity because Hamilton hall, large as it is, was too small. Two thousand people were anxious to dance but they could not. The tent at the fair grounds was inadequate for the meetings held there and it was impossible to hear the speakers two-thirds of the way from the platform. All this was painfully evident to Kansas people during the Fall Festi val and it is apparent that something must be done to give the capital city of Kansas a hall where a large number of people may be accommodated. Secretary Nettels of the executive committee of the Auditorium associa tion has everything in readiness to commence the work. A meeting of the committee will be called soon to do what is necessary to start the ball a rolling. There are various plans for raising the money necessary but the association has not formally adopted any plan. It is the suggestion of Mr. Edward Wilder that stock be sold of the par value of $1 for $10 per share, the pur chaser to be given $9 worth of tickets to a series of entertainments to be given after the completion of the building. This is the plan that has found favor with the committee and it is probable that it is the one which will be used. Of course there will be nothing to prevent anyone from mak ing a personal donation to the Audi torium fund. In connection with the plan. Audi torium buttons may be used and sold for a stipulated sum, each button to represent an interest in the- building. A large fair has also been proposed to aid in the work of raising funds. It is proposed to hold the fair on a grand scale and have it continue a week. But the executive committee will at tend to all that. It is composed of such men as Edward Wilder, W. H. Davis and S. T. Howe and they will see that something is done to insure the Audi torium. It is estimated the Auditorium will cost in the neighborhood of $25,000. The coal hole money which Js to be used in the building of the Auditoriumamounts to $10,000, so that it leaves $15,000 to be raised in one way or another. That looks like a big sum but it can be rais ed. Otto Kuehne has already received pledges for $3,000 by private subscrip tions and if a few others could do as well the Auditorium problem would be come a simple one. Let the people go to work. Topeka must rise to the dignity of the position she occupies. It is a disgrace that there should be no place in the largest city in Kansas for big conventions. There are dozens of occasions every year when the Auditorium is a dire ne cessity. Let the people arise to the emergency and build the Auditorium. GLOBE SIGHTS. (From the Atchison Globe.) A superstitious man is nearly always a petty man. No man likes to' be told that he is looking old, but it is a popular joke. We some times think that people do not die with old age; they worry them selves to death. The morning after the Carnival a float back of a store, in an alley, looks like a drunken man. An old man's good time lasts longer than a young one's because it takes him longer to get over it. You can't do anything with some men unless you scare them; they have no regard for patriotism, or duty. A man with a bicycle has the same feeling toward a professional bicycle thief that a mother has toward kidnap pers. A man is as touchy about anything that might hurt his business as a wo man is about an injury to her child, or her social standing. The kind of assistance that is given in trouble is not always satisfactory: it is easier to prove friendship for a man by laughing at his jokes. There is such a thing as an aggra vated wrong: have an enemy so stupid that he doesn't know it when you get even with hint. How much do carrier pigeons cost? An Atchison woman thinks of sending six out with her husband on all his trips. It would cost more than post age, but think how romantic it would be! If any joys are headed this way, the telegraph never hears of it, but it makes the announcement that the grip will ravage this country again this winter, with more serious results than followed its last appearance. An Atchison woman knows what grief is: she is a Baptist and made a beautiful salad for the Baptist dinner last Thursday. She gave it to her son to take down town, and he took it to the Methodists. i There is a good deal said about the timid country girls, but clerks around town say that they are all afraid of country girls: that they look fierce enouerh in buying to slap on the least provocation.

Record of Failures f jr the Third Quar ter of 1897. New York, Oct. 2. R. G. Dun Co's. weekly review of trade says in its issue today: The failures during the third quarter of 197 obtained yesterday by telegraph were 2,903. with liabilities of $2S.963,2tl, of which 29 were in banking for $3,870, 069. Commercial failures 2,874 with li abilities of $25,576,192. average only $8, 899 each, lower than in any other quar ter for 23 years. The amount of de faulted liabilities is the smallest in any quarter for five years and in 15 years only six quarters have shown smaller liabilities. Manufacturing failures 651 with lia bilities of $9,431,191. average but $li.4o7 each and trading 2.1C4 with liabilities of $12,825, 0K5, average but $5,927 each, both smaller in average of liabilities than in any previous year of which classifis-d records exist. The volume of legitimate business continues a little larger than the last month of 1892, for while the great increase of 27.4 per cent at New York for the week might be supposed to be due to speculative ac tivity in spite of the establishment and growth of the stock exchange clearing house, yet payments through the prin cipal clearing houses, outside of New York exceeded those of 1892 by 3.5 per cent for the week and 2.0 per cent for September. New York makes settle ment for large part of the country and daily average including this city was in September $206,364,0011, against $134,859, 000. last, $133,310,000 in 1S94; $122,733,000 in 1S93, and $176,327,000 in 1892, so that the gain over the same month in the best past years is 17.0 per cent. These evidences of reviving prosperi ty are more important because prices have advanced but moderately and are below the level of 1892, while specula tive markets are all declining with curious unanimity as if the large crops which make grain and cotton weak would not assume increased business to rail ways, and warrant better prices for stocks. Speculation in wheat and cotton has been set back by bright crop prospects. The wheat estimates of 590.000.000 bush els about 200,000,000 bushels more than would be required for food and seed leaving the smallest stocks for six years without replenishment was fol lowed by decrease in foreign buying and caused weakness. Yet western re ceipts for four weeks were 27.825,554 bushels against 24,094,044, for the same weeks last year and Atlantic exports, flour included, are 16.325.118 bushels against 8.176.364 last year, while Pa cific shipments are also very heavy and corn exports continue over 7 per cent more than last year. The price of wheat has declined 5c and corn nearly 2c for the week. Dismal reports have been frequent, but the market shows more faith in prediction of some large yields and prices declined a quarter of a cent for the past week. Turning from speculative markets to productive industry, the change in tone is striking. All industries are pushed to increase working force with occas ional rise in rate of wages by the grow ing demand. This is largely for re plenishment of stocks, but dispatches show that retail trade at nearly all northern points continues to expand and dealers well know that increase of working force and of wages insures a larger distribution of goods. Numerous appeals lor speedy deliv eries disclose more rapid distribution already than had been expected, and in textile manufacturers the works are hindered from taking as liberal orders as they might by doubts about future prices, though having enough to do for some time. The advance in cotton goods has been checked by the decline in material but in woolen goods the ad vance in price has been small compared with the rise in wool, which is helped by stronger prices in London sales. The dealings, mainly speculative have amounted to 66,501.100 pounds, in four weeks, 48,572,200 being domestic, but re cent sales of very large lots suggest that profit-taking may have begun. Slower to gain, because less affected by replenishment of dealers' stock than other industries, the iron manu facturers has been pushed to further expansion by growing demand for fin ished products, which has caused a lit tle further advance in prices, while pig iron is also higher, 25 cents, for Bes semer at Pittsburg, with purchases of 30,000 tons by one concern, and as much higher for anthracite No. 1 at the east with No. 2 advancing by the associa tion to $10.50 and southern No. 2, no longer offered below $8, at Birmingham. The average advance in all iron and steel prices, 9.9 per cent from the low est is still restricted by addition of many furnaces and other works of those in operation. Failures for the week have been 194 in the I'nited States asrainst 299 last year and 34 in Canada, against 40 last year. Cleveland's Man Settled It. Managua. Nicaragua, Via Galveston, Tex., Oct. 2. There is considerable re joicing accompanied by military and civic displays at the announcement that General Alexander the engineer appointed by President Cleveland to settle the boundary dispute between Costa Rica and Nicaragua has decided that the eastern boundary of Nicar agua and Costa Rica commences at the harbor head of Greytown, as claimed by Nicaragua. Had to Come to America. London, Oct. 2. A dispatch to the Times from Melbourne says. "The government of New South Wales as serts that it has found such difficulty in placing in England an order for 2.000 tons of steel rails of high carbon qual ity that it has been compelled to place the order in America where the manu facturers have readily undertaken the contract at $25 per ton.

Thousands of Fictitious Acres Sold to the Innocents. Parkersburg. W. Va.. Oct. 2. With in the past 60 days hundreds of deeds have been recorded in McDowell county covering many thousands of acres of land the considerations aggregating hundreds of thousands of dollars, all of which are believed to be fraudulent. There is now on the land book deeds for over 1,000,000 acres of land, when in fact the county contains but 60,000 acres all told. It is believed that a gigantic scheme of fraud is being perpetrated in the large eastern and western cities by a gang of swindlers who prepare a deed for a certain tract, generally coal land, have it acknowledged before a fictitious no tary public in some far off state, send it to the county clerk of McDowell county for record, directing the clerk to send in return certified copies of the same, taken direct from the record book This puts the swindlers in a position to sell the property and apparently give the purchaser a clear title. Nearly every week strangers arrive at the county seat with deeds for thou sands of acres of land, which show all straight on record, but can not be lo cated outside of the book. New York city, Philadelphia, Boston, Baltimore and Washington appear to be getting the largest share of the busi ness in the east, while the western sec tion is being worked in a scattering manner as far west as Nevada. There is no law in this state covering these fraudulent transactions. BAD FOR SHOE 31EN. Failures Among Manufacturers Owing to L ather Trust Manipulations New York, Oct. 2. The manufactur ers of cheap shoes are having a hard time just now to keep their heads above water. In the last three weeks many of them have been driven to the wail. It is said that the situation is due in a large part to the sole leather trust. Geo. J. Axt's shoe factory at Spring Valley, which has been running for 20 years, closed its doors on Tuesday. Charles Fritz of Folk Fritz, said today that his firm had been obliged to foreclose a mortgage they had held on Mr. Axt's place. "He owes us about $3,000," he said. "When the price of leather went up three or four weeks ago he couldn't stand the strain. He found that he had to pay about 15 per cent more for sole leather than before. The United States Leather company controls the sole leather market of the country. This trust has been putting up the price right along lately. The price on sole leather has increased about 15 per cent. The result is that manufacturers of cheap shoes are being forced to shut down. "The result of the trust's action in raising the price on sole leather to such an extent must be that there will be a big increase in the price of shoes sooner or later. "H. W. Bishop Co. of Chautauqua, N. Y., are now in the hands of a re ceiver, and Charles Joyce of Nyack was obliged to shut down. Bishop Co. turned out 2,000 pairs of shoes a day and Joyce about 2,500." FIRES HAVE STARTED. And the Usual Destruction of Prop er'.y is Looked for in the Northern Stataa Chicago, Oct. 2. Suburban towns to the west of Chicago are in danger of fires. Little or no rain has fallen for several weeks and the tall prairie grass is dry to its very roots and inflammable as tinder. If a prairie fire should spring up In the immense fields that encompass Berwin, Clyde Park. Lyons, Riverside and the other villages that dot this district the danger of an ex tensive conflagration would be great. Facilities for fighting flames in that district are meagre. Huntington. Ind., Oct. 2. Forest fires in the south part of this township are doing great damage. The timber and meadows are so dry that the fires burn with great rapidity and cover large areas of ground in a short time. Fires have been raging fiercely for three days In the forest and there appears noway of checking them. Crowdsof far mers are out with plows tearing up the ground around farm houses and build ings to prevent the fires from reaching and destroying them. The dense smoke that rises from the forest fires is almost unbearable. Kenosha, Wis., Oct. 2. Kenosha county is in danger of being burned out unless rain falls soon. Extensive prai rie fires have been raging for the past two days in the town of Somers. Large quantities of hay and other materials have been destroyed while acres of corn, stubbles and fences have been burned. The progress of the flames seems to be slow but steady. So far the damage will reach into thousands CARLISTS ARE BOLD. They are Beginning to Show Their Hands in Spanish Affairs. London, Oct. 2. The Daily Mail in its special article this morning on the Spanish situation, says: "The symptoms of Carlist agitation are every ('ay becoming more manifest and attracting the attention of the Spanish government. Carlist emis saries are visiting the province of Na varre where the party has its strongest supporters. "There is the best reason for believ ing that the signal for rising will soon be given. The revolt will probably oc cur in Navarre and the population of the Basque provinces is also ready to rise. "The Carlist press has changed its tone, and now 'hints that Don Carlos may intervene." LOCAL DBA 31 A TIC NEWS. Patrons of minstrel entertainments will be afforded tonight for the first time this season the opportunity of witnessing a minstrel performance. Al G. Field's colored minstrels will appear at the Grand Opera House and provide an entertainment which is said to be above the standard of this organiza tion in the past. There are 40 min strels in the company, which includes a full band and orchestra. The prices for the engagement axe 50, 35 and 25 cents. The last exhibition of the veriseope pictures of the Corbett-Fitzsimmons fight will be given at the Crawford theater tonight. Either the people have been too busy during the week to at tend the theater or they don't care to know just how Fitzsimmons won the championship, as the attendance at the exhibitions has been disappointing. The pictures will be taken west from To 'peka. The Tea V as All Right San Francisco. Oct. 2.

Former President Benjamin Harrison is quoted in an in terview on municipal politics in the World as saying: "Of special importance are the safe guards to be thrown about the granting of franchises to the promoters of great schemes for the public service. In this respect there are valuable lessons to be learned from late foreign experiments. Pome of the principal cities of Scotland have assumed each the control of its street railway systems and in its light ing plants, as well as its waterworks. The results of this public ownership of great public enterprises have been ex ceedingly satisfactory and instructive. I am inclined to consider municipal ownership as the best means to secure the people the cheapest and best ser vice." "Of course, the effects of competition between private enterprises are not to be. lost sight of as far as they increase Quality and lower price. But the us ual methods of selling franchises out right or in receiving for them royalty seldom give to the people more than a tithe of what the people themselves later return. The bigger the price, the larger the royalty the greater the cost of a ride or of a gas jet. It is a spe cie3 of tax." BLASPHEMY. Charge Against a New Ohio Postmas ter. Akron, Ohio, Oct. 2. Dr. L. S. Kbright Akron's newly appointed Republican postmaster, seems to have put his foot into it in a serious manner. The doctor made a fiery, distasteful speech at a political meeting. Not only did he offend the politicians but the preachers are after him for alleged blasphemy. In his speech Ebright said "We can not have other than prosperity wHh God and the Republican party training together under the leadership of Wm. McKinley." A movement is to be made to have President McKinley remove Ebright on a charge of "offensive partisanship." DANCED IN AIUY C0STU31ES Students Make a Spectacle of Them selves in aMiduight Escapade. Alliance. O., Oct. 2. Last night 75 students of Alt. Vernon college sallied forth arrayed in their night clothes and indulged in a dance on the public square. They completed the affair with sere nades at the different fraternity houses, but, while grouped about the S. L. C. house (ladies' fraternity) were alarmed by the approach of a vehicle. Believing it to be the patrol wagon, a stampede followed. Several of the young men became en tangled in a barbed wire fence in their efforts to escape, and, as a result, brought indisputable evidence of their part in the afiir to their classes to day.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 2, 1897. "A woman's ?j rank lies in the w M fullness of her wo- 3 woman, a nervous JVJ to a fretful WW woman, woman who suffers 1 1 cn weakness and dis ease of the delicate and important or gans that consti tute womanhood, a woman doomed to childlessness, is ot a real woman. The mct glorious duty and privilege of womanhood is motherhood. The childless woman cannot be a happy woman. A woman who never knows the caressinpr touch of a first-born's finprers, cannot know the full measure of happiness possible to a woman. There are thousands of unhappy women who sro throtitrh life without knowing the Buptjeme happiness of motherhood, who each day through a faithful but weary rouud of work, and live almost loveless and usu ally pain-racked lives, because they neg lect to take care of themselves in a wo manly way. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip tion is the most wonderful of all medicines for ailing1 women. It acts directly on the delicate and important orprans that make maternity possible. It makes them well and strong". It fits for wifehood and moth erhood. It banishes the dangers of mater nity.

Thousands of Masks on Street, and the Ball the Is Attended by 2,000 Dancers, Be sides Many Not in Mask Who Went to Look On. Carnival night in Topeka was a deaf ening roar of tin horns and the glad cries of hundreds of maskers, set off by the brilliant illumination and the fancy colors of the masquerade suits. The large crowd on Kansas avenue was, as A. W. Dana predicted, one in which there was absolutely no con duct. But there was practically no rowdyism. Once or twice rough people overstepped the rules, but not often. Will Haskell had considerable trou ble in getting his parade in line for starting. When it did come Marshall's band marched down Kansas avenue playing "A Hot Time" with volume and harmony. Queen Lorena, Miss Edna Whitney sat in a showy float and bowed smibngly to the crowds and was loudly cheered. She wore a white op era cape over her masquerade costume. Her court ladies were attired in hand some white dresses and wore masks. In the carriage following, Mis3 Edna Best, the young lady whose face ap pears masked on the Karnival Knights button, rode masked. The ball com mittee in carriages came next and there were several pretty floral car riages. As a general thing decorated carriages were not in the parade. All parts of the parade were brilliantly Kgnxea wun rea ore. The first and last sections of last year's "Dragon of the Ages" were joined together, bandages tied over the faee and on the head rode a masker. On the side were the words: "I met Fitz; But still in the ring." A long ear of corn mounted on wheels was drawn in parade and on its sMes were the words: "Captured in Atchison." Four men dressed in white tights rnde on a float and posed as statuary. The Committee of Fifteen flying ma chine was relieved of its wings and propeller and drawn as "Pick Smith's Fisu." In the submarine float Mr. O'Grady attempted to "Swim Out." There were other ridiculous floats and following these the maskers in large numbers danced to "A Hot Time" and enjoyed the occasion. The best feature and the funniest was the "Statuary" in gro tesque attitudes. The revelry continued on the street until midnight. At Hamilton hall the Karnival Knights ball was a great success in point of attendance. The grand march laved by Marshall's band set the ball rolling. Miss Edna Whitney and Adrian Sherman led the march. Only those wearing masquerade costumes were allowed on the floor. After half a d zen dances by Marshall's band Prof. Wetherell led Miss Edna Pest to the stage and announced that she was the young lady whose picture appeared on the K. K. button. She lifted her mask and the crowd applauded. Miss Edna Whitney was then introduced. Masks were removed and dancing was kept up until 3 o'clock this morning to the musi- of Watson's and Steinberg's or chestras of 10 men. There were over 2. "00 people in Hamilton hall at differ ent times who were dancers in costume. Miss Edna Whitney was the belle of the ball. She was attired in a rich, red and black satin gown resplendent with jewels. She wore a red satin Napoleon hat and a red satin mask. She was an imposing figure of the ball. This afternoon Miss Whitney, her younger sister and her mother leave for Chi'.Meothe. Miss Whitney will go to St. Louis on Monday where she will visit and attend the Veiled Prophets ball. THE SUA. It BATTLE. 80,000 Rounds of Ammunition Were Fired During Its Progress. The sham battle at the fair grounds yesterday afternoon was a success. About 80.000 rounds of blank ammu nition were fired and the noise was so great at times that the bugle com mands could hardly be heard by the men. The battle started by the "Army of the East" under command of Col. Hoisington. A skirmish line was sent out and a raj id fire kept up. After some little skirmishing reenforoements were sent forward and in a few minutes the bat tle itself opened by a movement in line of battle on the part of the "Army of the East." Under command of Col. Metealf the "Army of the West" was entrenched behind a small bank and it seemed impossible to dislodge them. The light battery of the boys on the east side kept up a rattling fire and tried to shell the enemy from behind their breastworks. Now and then the gunners would turn their attention to the Catling gun and b-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r it would go and and the boys would give a cheer for "the old pepper box" as they called it. The hospital corps were stationed on each side of the field and whenever a man fell he was immediately brought to the hospital tent and cared for. The Army of the East attempted a flank movement and were repulsed by a charge from the enemy as they were trying to go around their flank. The battle surg'd around the race track. It started on the west side and closed in the timber on the east side. The Army of the East was victorious. The hospital corps under charge of Majors Armstrong and de Needman were in constant readiness. Two men were kept on the field with red cross flags and when any one was hurt thev signalled with them for the main corps at the tent. The signals are the inven tion of Major Armstrong and are useful in summoning assistance when there is too much noise for commands to be un derstood. One Case of Ruffianism. John Pasley.master workman of lodge No. 3. A.- O. V. W., was hurt at mid night last night by a crowd of drunken toughs on Kansas avenue.

Another hit him over the head with an iron rod he carried. Pasley finally managed to escape from his as sailants, and he was taken in charge by the police and taken to the station where his wounds were dressed. The men who assaulted him were not ar rested.

The Herald prints an interview with Lieutenant Peary in which it says: "I have found no evidence of cannibal ism at Camp Clay on Cape Sabine. I have said this repeatedly. I didn't look for proof or indications or evidence of anything which would again open this terrible episode of arctic adventure. I did not go to Cape Sabine to obtain proof that the men with Greely had their na tural feelings overcome by the agonies of starvation. "It seems to me. however, that this talk of cannibalism is unnecessarily revived. I think it has been conceded that the tragedy of Cape Sabine forced the men into conditions which could not have ex isted under other circumstances. It seems to me that the violations of laws of nature would have been to have the living to perish when their existence have been sustained by the 'food' which was put before them. It would be, it seems to me. only a matter for the in dividual to decide whether he would par take of the dead or die. "It would be different if lots weredrawn and the unfortunate being made the vic tim of the lust of appetite of his living murderers. Nothing of that sort has been even imagined of the tragedy of Cape Sabine. The living In order to sustain life, may have been tempted, in fact, I believe it was decided that they had pre served their lives in this manner. But as for taking part in any ghoulish search, that I did not, nor will I do so." At present the whole world is wonder ing at the tremendous sales and desira ble effects of BegBs' German Salve.

Grand Ate Successor to CARL SCHUKZ IS JIITTEU. Writes a Scathing Letter to Senator Gallinger of Hjw Hampsbira. Tsew York, Oct. 2. Carl Sthurz has ad dressed anotlier oi:en letter to United Slates Senator J. II. Gallinger of Xew Hampshire, in the series which has grown out of the senator's attack on the civil service law as now extended and on its supporters. The first portion of the doc ument is taken up with a defense of the writer's political record. Mr. Schurz says his principles have al ways remained the same, but the parties have changed their positions. lie ac cuses Senator Gallinger with misrepre sentation in regard to the working- of the civil service and induces in severe person alities in connection with the same. ilr. Schurz says, in part: "You pretend to great indignation at the wicked Grover Cleveland, who as you say, did not honestly enforce the civil service law, but prostituted it to partisan ends. 4'Of course, you wish your constituents to understand that you fairly yearn for an "honest enforcement of the law and that "partisan ends' are a horror to your patriotic soul. Do you not again presume upon the supposed ignorance of the peo-. pie of New Hampshire? They need only open the Congressional Record to find that on March 1SW7. less than nine months after the Republican party had reiterated its solemn pledge, you spoke in the senate thus: "I do not believe that life is long enough for this senate to in vestigate the civil service of this gcv ernment. There is a shorter and easier Way and that Is to get rid of the whole thing. I have voted against it (the civil service law) in the other house of con gress. I have voted against it in the sen ate whenever opportunity offered and what I desire is to cast my vote to blot out that statute.' "Thus it appears that you recognize the pledge of the Republican party to en. force the civil service law 'honestly and thoroughly' and "to extend it wherever practicable:' that you reserve to the Re publican party the right to 'interpret' this pledge, and at the same time you urge the Republican party to redeem the pledge binding it to enforce the civil ser vice law honestly and thoroughly by blot ting out the law altogether. It is a some what unpleasant question to ask, sen ator, but it must be asked: Is this a po sition to be taken or a game to be play ed by an honest man? I venture to sug gest that it will not be a sufficient ans wer to this Question to cry that the per son asking it is a 'traitor' or "renegade.' or even if you please, a common felon. Nor will it be sufficient to affirm that you "have never voted any other than the straight party ticket. "As the matter stands, every unpre judiced person examining the evidence be fore us will find himself forced to the conclusion, that you have deliberately 0 All 0 quarters. x. --Hfc I 'i-' I 3' HJ iTTi-' f Bi.. i L. -.t i wm: dHz- H m y.KVH: V aV 'ai 11 r it ir m c rrtAC'aKS e. co.

Memphis lawyers have brought suit in Dresden, Weakly county, Tenn., for damages for defamation of character alleged to be contained in an epitaph cut in a tomb stone.

He was acquitted on the plea of self-defence. The parents of the deceased thought to honor his memory by erecting a suitable tombstone over his grave and by having cut in the marble a legend petting forth the circumstances of his taking oft. The following Is the epi taph: L. B.. son of .1. C. and L. J. Cate, born April 10, 1S70. Married Minnie Freeman Dec. 21. ISsT; was shot and killed by Bill Penick Dec. 11.

Those who believe chronic diarrhoea to be incurable should read what Mr. P. E. Grisham. of Gaars Mills, La., has to say on the subject, viz.: "I have been a sufferer from chronic diarrhoea ever since the war and have tried all kinds of medicines for it. At last I found a remedy that effected a cure, and that was Chamberlain's Colic.Chol era and Diarrhoea Remedy." This medicine can always be depended upon for colic, cholera morbus, dysentary and diarrhoea. It is pleasant to take and never fails to effect a cure. 2o and 50 cent sizes for sale by all drug gists.

Irs Wenderfal Benefits W'ltblB th Reach of Any Woman.' The strengl.heriing' and vitalizing- eff feot of massage and electricity upon the system is, in these days of advanced science, an accepted principle. The "massage bath," which combines both is a possible luxury in the bathroom of every household. The "hydraulic massage" as it is righrtly called, is an effect from a direct current of water applied to a particular part of the body, while the whole surface is immersed in water of a high temperature. The rubber tubing and nozzle, for this may be attached to the main tube of supply with very little expense or trouble. A length of rubber hose is fastened as usual to the faucet. To the end of this hose is attachied a short piece of iron piping about two inches long and with the same diameter. The end of this short cylinder is capped with a piece of iron perforated by a number of small holes. In each of theee. holes is inserted a small discharge point in side of the tube, whicli admits a sharp arrow-like jet of water with great force. When the full strength of the current is turned on the force would be suffi cient to throw the jet into the air 25 or 30 fee. When the current is directed under the water at a distance of five or ix inches from the body the fric tion creates a perceptible electrical cur rent. The effect is a digging out and cleansing of the skin pores, a knead ing of the muscle and tissue to the very bone equal "to a combination of the thermal bath and massage combined. There is a result of general stimula tion and invigoration. Up and down the. spine when the current is so ap plied there is a more thorough manipu lation than can possible be obtained with the rub of the hand. The tem perature of the main bath raust. be as high as can be borne, from 102 degrees up; the current is about the same tem perature. After the bath a spray of listerine or alcohol is sent all over the body. This prevents the possibility of cold. The tonic effect of this bath must be felt to be appreciated. The skin, as every body should know, is one of the main drains to free the system of impuri ties. Keep the pores of this free and tinclogged and it means half of health, and activity. Add to this the limber ing of muscle and joint, the knead of tissue and abnormal deposits of fleeh, and the stimulation of the vital organs, and there is a firm compactness of body with a sustaining machinery within that makes life a power and a joy.

Brooklyn is the only city whose chil dren Li Hung Chang admired; he fan cied one little girl so much that he wrote her a letter after he got home and commented upon her neat appear ance. This fall every little girl in Brooklyn wears an apron. It is made either of checked muslin or India lawn, thepref enoe being for the. lawn. The apron, is in three parts, waist, skirt and sleeves. There is a belt of in- A BROOKLYN SCHOOLGIRL sertion and a band of insertion around the neck. Lace ruffles trim the arm holes. The apron fastens at the back with a big bow of lawn, which is a made bow, and is sewed to the back of the apron. The dress is completely pro tected and the Brooklyn school girl is neat and clean for her music lesson in the afternoon when she takes off her apron. How to Clean Llnoleam. Oilcloth and linoleum are ruined oftener in the cleaning than, in any other manner. Too hot water and the free use of scap are the usual faults in the treatment they receive. Left half wiped they look very bright while wet, but dingy and streaked when 4ry, and the colors soon crack and peal off. A soft flannel and lukewarm water are the best things for general use upon oilcloth, and you should make sure that it is thoroughly dried after wash ing. Equal parts of milk and water used upon oilcloth brighten and im prove it. To Tberengkl; Clean Kntvea.

Mr. James McMillen, of Champaign, Has Follcwed ths Shoemaker's Trade All His Life Every Day at His Esnnh Working with Appar ently ths Sams Vigor as a Ycung Man A Sketch cf His Life. From the Gazette Champaign, HI. At the advanced age of eighty-fire years, James McMillen, of 112 West Washington treet, is one of the most active men in Cham paign, Illinois. Mr. McMillen is a pioneer citizen of the city, and his form is as familiar cn the streets as that of any citizen of the town. All his life Mr. Mc'Millea has fol lowed the trade of shoemaker, and every day finds him at his bench, bending over his work with apparently the same vigor he com manded whn he was a young man. He has a little shop on North Wright street, in the vicinity of the University of Illinois, and he is the official shoemaker, as it were, for the students ot that institution. About a year ago Mr. McMillen was absent from his bench for several weeks, and his familiar form was missed along the streets. The local newspapers announced that he was dangerously ill. For months he was a sufferer, but finally he appeared again at his shop, and has lost but very few days Bince then and none, perhaps, on account of sickness. His friends were surprised to see him out aerain, and they were more surprised when he told them the cause of his recovery There was no small amount of local inter est in his ease, and a reporter visited him, to have him relate the story. "I feel," said the spry old gentleman, "that I owe my life to Dr. AVilliams' Pink Pills for Pale People. Something like a year ago it appeared to me that I was almost a physical wreck. I was suffering from a disease of the kidneys. A thick scurf had formed on the bottoms of my feet and my ankles were terribly swollen and inflamed. In fact, they reached snch a condition that I could not walk, and it looked as though my days were numbered. TAMMANY IS READ OUT. New York Silver Democrats .Repu diate the Tiger. New Tork, Oct. 2. At the city nomi nating convention of the Democratic alliance of Greater New York Henry George was unanimously nominated for mayor. The nominating speech was made by Charles Francis Adams. The nomination was greeted with enthusi astic applause. The platform in part is as follows: "The Democratic alliance is a body of Democrats loyal to the policy of the Breat Democratic party. Our aim and object was to find a basis for united action of all Democrats in the pending municipal contest. "We deemed it essential that the Democratic party of Greater New Tork should reaffirm the Chicago plat form, pledge itself to a policy of muni cipal ownership and operation of fran chises and to the principles of direct employment instead of the contract system. "The action of the city convention of September 30, is clear to all men. "Tammany and iter allies hide awav the national banner of Democracv and are ashamed to march under its folds. The Benedict Arnolds of last fall, who deserted to the enemy on the eve of the battle are to be restored to places of honor and friendship: the franchise grabbers are to retain their clutch on tie city's Ivgnways, by Tammany's aid and connivance. Thus Tammany and lier allies separate themselves in prin ciple and policy from the Democratic party of the nation an must be look ed upon solely as a local bodv of un principled spoils' hunters, unfit to sit In the councils of the party whose doc trine they ignore and whose honor they betray." The platform also declares in favor of municipal home rule, municipal ownership and operation of franchises, three-cent street railway fares, dol lar gas, an eight hour day at prevail ing rate of wages, representation of labor in administrative and legislative branches of the city's government, free open air places for the holding of pi.blic meetings and opposition to gov ernment by the injunction. NEW SPANISH CABINET. It la Expected That it Will be Com pleted This Ween. Madrid, Oct. 2. The Liberals are preparing to give an ovation to Senor Sagasta. their leader, upon his arrival here today. It is taken for granted that he will form a cabinet, of which probably Senor Gamazo will be minister of for eign affairs, Senor Moret y Frer.de r gast minister for the colonies, and Gen. Correa minister for war, although Sen or Moret y Prendergast has been men tioned for appointment as Spanish min ister at Washington to succeed Senor Dupuy de Lome. It is now expected that the cabinet crisis will be ended in less than a week. Steel Company to Reorganize. Pottsville. Pa., Oct. 2. The Pottsville Iron and Steel company, which went into a receiver's hands several months ago. has formulated plans of reorgani zation by which the plant may resume and give employment to the 1,000 hands. It is proposed to issue first mortgage bonds, amounting to $350,000 with which to rehabilitate the mill and for a work ing capital. The preferred creditors will accept second mortgage bonds to satisfy their claims of about $150,000, and the unpref erred creditors will be given $430,000 in preferred stock.

WORLD'S FAiR.CflZCAGO, !S93 "I read in the newspaper testimonials from people who claimed to have been cured of kidney trouble by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and thought that it would do me no harm to give them a trial. I bought a box of them at the drug store and began taking them according to directions. It may seem strange, but it is a fact that I felt the benefit of them almost as soon as I began to take them. After I had taken a few pills my urinal discharges became almost as black as tar and I noticed at the same time that the pain and soreness were leav ing my kidneys. ''A few days later the swelling began to go out of my ankles, and at the end of five weeks it had entirely disappeared, taking with it that terrible scurf which had formed on the bottoms of my fret and caused me so much trouble. I continued to gather my lost strength, and at the end of six weeks I felt entirely recovered and resumed my work at the shop. I think I took from tour to five boxes of the pills and have taken none since." Mr. McMillen's residence on West Wash ington street, is more than a mile distant from his shop, but nearly every day he walks the entire distance, morning and evening, and he could not do this if that swelling still existed. Mr. McMillen has no backwardness in tnlk ine of the merits of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People contain in a condensed form, all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the biood and restore shattered nerves. Pink Pills are sold by all dealers, or will be sent post paid on receipt of price, 50cents a box, or six boxes for $2.50 (they are never sold in bulk or by the 100), by addressing Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Schenectady. N. Y. NO DISCRETION Is Permitted the Secretary of Ag riculture in this Case. Washington, Oct. 2. The agricultur al department has been compelled to forego its decision to distribute this year's seed from Washington because of a decision by Comptroller Tracewell of the treasury, that such distribution would be a violation of the law by which the appropriation was made. This decision was rendered today in re sponse to a letter from Secretary Wil son. In his reply Mr. Tracewell says that the appropriation for last year was in the same language as that for the present fiscal year, excepting as to the amount appropriated, and he calls at tention to the fact that Attorney Gen eral Harmon rendered a decision to the effect that the appropriation of last year authorized the secretary of agri culture to purchase seeds already put up in packages and labeled for distri bution. Mr.Tracewell holds, in View of this decision, that while the secretary can determine the form in which the contractors shall deliver the seeds, he cannot purchase the seeds and employ persons to put them up or contract with some one to do the work. "It must not be forgotten," he adds, "that congress has used the very plain est language in providing $130,000 for the purchase and distribution of seeds, bulbs, etc., and has attached to the ap propriation the specific requirement that not less than $110,000 shall be used in the purchase of valuable seeds. Con gress thus fixed a minimum amount and did not intend that a discretion should be exercised by the secretary of agriculture. "The whole act is mandatory in form and the use of one-half of this sum in payment for personal services in dis tributing seeds would not be a com pliance with the specific order of con gress. "The head of a department." the comptroller adds, "ordinarily has some d scretion in the use of appropriations for his department. The appropriation for seeds seems to be drawn for the very purpose of preventing a construction which would admit of the exercise of any discretion." JUMPED FROM A WINDOW. Suicida of a Crazy Bridegroom in New York. New Tork, Oct. 2. Dr. Robert F. Flagg.a well known resident of Yonk ers and the oldest son of Dr. Levi W.

The Great Pacer Clips One-Half Second From 2.01 Baseball News. Springfield, 111., Oct. 2. In a race that was witnessed by at least 65,000 people. Star Pointer, on the Illinois State fair grounds, yesterday afternoon, not only maintained his reputation as the king of pacers by beating Joe Patchen, but he also lowered the world's pacing record in a race by half a second, making the mile in 2:002, the record in a race having been 2:01, which Star Pointer made on Saturday, September IS, at Indianapolis; when he defeated Joe Patchen. Star Pointer was greeted with tremendous cheers by the assembled thousands as he passed under the wire in the third heat, and the announcement of the lowering of the world" pacing record in a race was received with tumultuous applause. When the two great pacers made their appearance they were greeted with cheers At the first they got a nice start. Patch en having the pole, but after going a few hundred feet Star Pointer broke badly, and before he recovered Joe Patchen was about an eighth of a mile ahead af him, Joe Patchen finished the heat in a jo in 2:14 amid cheers, with Star Pointer 200 to 3u0 feet behind. The first quarter was made in 0:30: the half in l:02'i; three quarters in l:St4, and the mile in 2:14. Star Pointer was given the pole in the second heat, and the two horses started even but Joe Patchen soon broke and lost a dozen or more lengths. He gained on Pointer toward the three-quarters and rapidly overhauled him. McCleary hold ing his horse down. Down the home stretch it was a pretty fight between the two, but Pointer maintained his lead and passed under the wire a half a length ahead. Pointer made the first quarter in 0:30; half fn 1:03; three-quarters in 1:3S., and the mile in 2:06, the last quarter being in 0:29i. The third heat was a wildly exciting one and was the race for blood from the start. After three ineffectual attempts the horses got off together. Pointer soon took the lead and in the first quarter he was one and one-half lengths ahead. The black pulled tip some toward the half and when that was reached Pointer was but three-fourths of a length ahead. Then Patchen lost and gained again, and at the three-quarters was not quite one length behind. When near the wire Patchen fell behind, however, and Point er won by five or six lengths. The time bv quarters was as follows: First, 0:29; second, 1:00, third, l;3o. mile 2:00ti. THE NATIONAL LEAGUE. PITTSBFRG 11-7, CLEVELAND 10-3. Pittsburg. Oct. 2.

The Orioles had no trouble in trouncing the Senators. al though the latter hit Hoffer more freely than the latter hit McJames. Several very pronounced errors on the part of the visitors did the trick in spite of the fact that the home teamhad a patchwork nine in the field and that the visitors were anxious to win in order to make their hold on sixth place more secure.

With Solid Tires, They May Take the Place of the Present Hubs and Tire3. New York, Oct. 2. Pneumatic hu':s and solid tires may yet supplant the present style of hubs and tires on bicy cles. Almost simultaneously inventions of pneumatic, or spring, hubs have been made in three different parts of the globe. One of these inventions is the pro duct of a Pennsylvania machinist, and the test made last week was reported to be highly satisfactory. Around the axle, protected by steel thimbles, is a pneumatic tube, blown up the same as pneumatic tires. This tube is incased in a nickel steel frame, to which the spokes are attached. The frame, hanging on these inflated hubs, causes the rider to rock easily, as though sit ting in a swing. There is the least pos sible vibration, jarring or jolting. The tires, being solid, are non-puncturable. A similar invention is credited to an Englishman, who has taken out pat ents in his own country. In his device, rims are formed around the flanges of the inner hubs to receive annular pneu matic tubes. Another invention to serve the same end has been patented abroad by an Australian, but it differs from the other two in that it is a spring and not a pneumatic tube. The hub has around it a fixed flange and an adjustable flange plate, both of which are per forated to receive bolts by which the inner ends of these spring pins are at tached. Around the spring pins are coiled springs bearing against washers of rigid material. Each of the spring pins is made to slide inwardly as well as outwardly against the resistance of the coiled spring, and as one of the spring pins slides outwardly the other two slide in the opposite direction, or vice versa. Still another Pennsylvanian has in- vented an armor for pneumatic tires. MISMM FINDS SREater Newark MANYCAHDfDAT5 Mayoralty Qoh to find HER. (Jonerhor. The armor consists of a strip of raw hide, bevelled and tanned partiaKy at the edges, and the texture of the strip ranges from a soft and flexible material at the edges to a hard, springy and non-puncturable substance at the cen ter. The armor is placed on the out side of single tube tires and between the casing and inner tube in double tube tires. The inventor claims that while his armor adds only a fraction to the weight of a tire, it does not de tract from its resiliency, but rather adds to it. National League Drafting Players.

At last western men are to have a chance to serve in Uncle Sam's navy. Chicago is to be a permanent station and rendezvous for the enlistment of men for the naval service, and temporary rendezvouses for a similar purpose are to be established at various places in the northwest. These are the recommendations of Lieut. Commander Hawley, and there is every probability that they will be adopted. Lieut. Commander Hawley recently visited the lake ports and established temporary rendezvouses at Chicago, Du luth, Detroit and Milwaukee. a:.d ob tained a number of men well adapted for service in the navy. He submitted today his report to Secretary Long, giving the details of the expedition in which he was ergaged. The reports show the desirability of these being station at the places recom mended by Lieut. Commander Hawley, and promises as a result to secure for the navy a class of men much better than could be obtained from the eastern ports alone. Lepine Goes to Algeria. Paris, Oct. 2.

The most common and annoying is itch ing piles, indicated by warmth, slight moisture and intense, uncontrollable itching in the parts affected. The usual treatment has been some simple ointment or salve which some times give temporary relief, but noth ing like a permanent cure can be ex pected from such superficial treatment. The only permanent cure for itching piles yet discovered is the Pyramid Pile Cure, not only for itching piles, but for every other form of piles, blind, bleed ing or protruding. The first applica tion gives instant relief and the con tinued use for a short time causes a permanent removal of the tumors or the small parasites which cause the in tense itching and discomfort of itching piles. Many physicians for a long time sup posed that the remarkab'e relief af forded by the Pyramid Pile Cure was because it was supposed to contain co caine, opium or similar drugs, but such is not the case. A recent careful anal ysis of the remedy showed it to be ab solutely free from any cocaine, opium, or in fact any poisonous. injurious drugs what ever. Sold by drugg.sts at 10 cents per package.

Sorry will be the plight of five girls and boys from the Hawaiian islands if ex-Queen Liliuo kalani ever gets on the throne again. Her majesty was the subject of much fun while on her way to Chicago from San Francisco during the past few days. Five of her former subjects were on the train bound for schools in the east. Such songs, "She May Have Seen Bet ter Days," "You're Not the Only Peb ble on the Beach" were sung by the young students, much to the anger of the ex-queen. In fact she grew so in dignant that she called upon two young men, who are on their way to Cam bridge, Engand, and are faithful ad herents of "her majesty," to chastise the chorus. They failed after some ex citement and Queen Lil made a grand exit out of one sleeping car into anoth er where she was not bothered by the merry students. YON liOLST AN AMERICAN.

Day and SHE WAS HYPNOTIZED. A Bride of a Weak Wants a Divorce as Soon as Possible. Ravenna, Oct. 2. A marriage cere mony which was performed by Chas. Stretor at Mantua some days ago has led to trouble. Miss ftose Wadsworth nad Mr. Newton Peck were married on Fridav, and on the following Friday the young wife of but a few days left the husband of her choice. She visited Ravenna today and went directly to the office of an attorney, where she told a remarkable story. She claims that she was hypnotized when she was married, and that when she came out of that state she immediately left Peck. S e wants a divorce as soon as possible. The young woman thought she could get out of her troubles very easily, as she learned that the justice who married them was not a justice and that his term of office expired last April. Her attorney told her, however, that in such cases, where the m. stake was not on the part of the contracting parties, the law held them to be man and wife until they were divorced.
