Owing to unforeseen difficulties the Topeka Railway company will not be able to have all its cars vestibuled by November first. It was supposed that the work could easily be completed by that time, but the company is making every effort to comply with the law which requires that vestibules shall be in place by November 1. Mr.Joseph M. Patten, manager of the Topeka Rail way company, before leaving for the east yesterday, made the following statement of the conditions, which is the first official announcement from the company. He said: The Topeka Railway company be gan in September to get ready to put vestibules upon its cars. The lumber, mainly of ash and poplar, had to be or dered from the south. On Monday fol lowing the Festival three expert car builders from the car building shops in St. Louis were set at work in addition to the whole force of the railway com pany's shops to try to get the cars ready for service by November 1st. Ow ing to the fact that the cars were not built originally for the addition of a vestibule, and required changes in the framing and fitting, the work has been slow, and it is drubtiul if all the cars will be completed by the date set for the operating of the law, and on some of the lines there may be a diminished car service for a few days until cars can be finished for service. The To peka Railway company realizing the increased liability of accident by hav ing the motorman shut up in a vesti bule has made a stringent order ex cluding all persons, except certain offi cers of the company from riding in the front vestibule, in order that the mo torman may have full opportunity to control his car, and that his attention may not be diverted by conversation with any one. This rule is made ap plicable to the employes of the com pany as well as to the passengers, and the violation of it is made a cause of immediate dis-rharge of both motorman and conductor in charge of the car. The company is making every effort to get the cars finished as rapidly a3 possible, having ten men, all that they have shop room for, constantly at work upon the vestibules, and should it be necessary to diminish the service on some of the lines, it will only be for a few days. It was expected at the out set that the vestibules would all be in place by October 30, but some tmfore seen difficulties having been met the work has been slower than at first an ticipated." BLOODY SUNDAY EVE" At Doyer Two Men Shot, One Purposely, One AccidentallyT" Two men now lie seriously wounded, one at Christ hospital in this city and the other at his home in the country, as the result of a drunken quarrel at Dover Sunday night. In drawing a re volver from his hippocket Arthur Sage, a prominent farmer of that section, 60 years of age, accidentally discharged it, the bullet crashing into his own thigh, but not minding the terrible wound he leveled it at Charles Lindsay and fired. The bullet struck Lindsay in the chest and lodged below the left shoulder blade. Sage fell to the ground uncon scious after he fired at Lindsay. Lindsay is a brother of L. li. Lind say, a brother-in-law of Sage. It is said that both men had been drinking, and commenced a quarrel over the pos session of a piece of land. Words led to blows, and in the fistic encounter Lindsay knocked Sage clown several times. When Sage gained his feet aft er being knocked down the last time he ran into the house and got a revolver, placing it in his right hip-pocket. When he came out of the house Lindsay was still in the yard, and he reached for the revolver with the results as sta ted. Sage was brought to Christ hospital in this city last night. The bullet plough ed into the flesh of the thigh aconsider able distance, but the wound is not considered dangerous by the attending physician. Lindsay is still at his home In Dover, and it is stated tiiat his wound is the most serious of the two. Roth men are prominent farmers in that section of the county. FLA VOlt TO tiOVERN.

G00DB1 TO THE Cil URCII. Princeton Liquor License Trouble Causes Prof Shields to Quit. Princeton. N. J., Oct. 26. Prof. Chas. W. Shields, of Princeton university, authorizes the statement that, in con sequence of the "unjust, unconstitu tional and defamatory action" of cer tain Presbyteries and synods involving his good name, he has decided, for his own personal protection, to separate himself from the Pr?-byterian church in a constitutional manner with the least possible delay. This refers to the granting of a liquor license to the Pres byterian Inn, Prof. Shields being one of the signers of the petition for the granting of the license. D. O. M'CK Al'S WORK. The Excellent Article on Kansas' Debt Paying Power in Yes terday's Paper. The splendid compilation of facts and figures in the article on the paying off of Kansas mortgages in yesterday's State Journal, was the work of Mr. D. O. McCray of this city. Mr. McCray spent several weeks laboriously seeking these figures in the agricultural reports and conferring with Secretary Coburn. The result is an article that will be valuable for reference for several years. A KEG jNJGOURT. A Rotund Witness Against a Joint Keeper. The Beer Had Sonred But It Was Beer. SPIGOT WAS DRIVEN IN And the Amber Liquid Drawn Out and Tasted. One of the Joint Cases on Trial Today. There was a keg of beer on tap in the district court room this forenoon in the presence of Judge Hazen and a jury. It was filled with foaming liquid which was supposed to be beer. The beer came into court in the regu lar way. It was introduced in evidence and those who thought it was there to be used in the celebration of Bailiff Coyne's birthday were mistaken. The case was that of the stateagainst L. H. Holtwick on the charge of liquor selling. J. F. White, who has been the principal witness for the prosecution in the liquor trials at this term of court, bought the beer and stored it in F. H. Foster's cellar. He came into court today with the heavy keg on his shoulder. It was still sealed. After "White had told his story and the keg had been produced, he was turned over to H. C. Safford. attorney for Holtwick, who put him through a fire of questions which wouid have withered most men, but White held his own. 'Do you know what is in that keg?" asked Mr. Safford. 'I bought it for beer," replied White. "Do you know of your own knowledge that the keg contains beer?" "I do not." "How do you know that is the same keg that was stored in Mr. Foster's cel lar?" "I marked it with a W on one of the staves." "Do you see that mark now?" "No, sir." Here the cross-examination ended and County Attorney Jetmore com menced the re-direct examination. "Will you examine the keg and see if you can find the mark you put on It?" said he. White rolled the keg over and found the mark. "There is the mark," said he. "Is there beer in that keg?" "1 think there is." "Open the keg and show the Jury," was the next command. "There is no faucet here," said Attor ney Safford. "Yes there is," replied White, and he drew a new cedar faucet from his coat pocket. White began to examine the keg, pre paratory to opening it. "Don't open it here," commanded Judge Hazen. White carried the keg out into the corridor and got a hatchet in the dis trict clerk's office and with one blow of the hammer drove the wooden faucet into the keg forcing the cork stopper in. The liquor spurted out and some of it went on White's clothes but he again shouldered the keg and returned with it to the court room where it was plac ed on a chair. He then drew a glass of the contents and mounted the witness stand. "Will you taste that and tell the jury what it is?" said Mr. Jetmore. White took a sip of the contents of the glass, made a wry face and said: "It is beer." Some of the members of the jury look ed longingly at the glass but none of them asked for a sample. After White had left the stand At torney Safford tasted the beer. "I would hate to be compelled to drink that," said he. "It tastes more like vinegar." An attempt was made in this case to confuse the prosecuting witness by having Holtwick's younger brother. George in the court room. The broth ers look very much alike and they filed into the court room together and took seats side by side. "Which is the defendant?" asked County Attorney Jetmore. "You tell." replied Mr. Safford. "I demand that the attorney be re quired to point out the defendant," said County Attorney Jetmore. "That is the business of the prosecut ing witness." said Mr. Safford. "Let the matter rest for the present," said Judge Hazen. When White took the stand he at once pointed out the right man. The ruse had failed. There was a change in the make up of the jury to try the Holtwick case. One of the questions propounded by the county attorney was: "Have you ever patronized a joint?" This question dis qualified several members of the jury. Among the new men on the jury were J. W. Thurston, cashier of the Bank of Topeka, Councilman James Burgess, S. M. Wood and J. H. Bevelle. Messrs. Thurston and Bevelle were challenged. The case went to the jury at noon. SAM CAMPBELL'S CAbE On Trial in tha Polica Court for Run -ning a Joint. The liquor case of Sam Campbell was commenced ii police court today. Campbell is charged with having main tained a nuisance in the form of a beer joint at 615 Quincy street last summer. At the time of the raid Campbell disap peared and Henry Shaffer was arrested. In Shaffer's trial the fact was devel oped by testimony that Campbell was probably the proprietor of the place, so Shaffer was discharged, and when Campbell "came to earth" again he was arrested. Today several unwilling wit nesses were examined. Harvey Tincher, who at the Shaffer trial swore that the liquor he bought was purchased from Sam Campbell, today swore positively that he had never bought liquor of Campbell. Chief Steele says he will prosecute Tincher for perjury, as the testimony was taken down at the for mer trial in writing and there is said to be a clear case against him of per jury. Tincher is an employe at the Royal Billiard hall, which is kept by AI Havslip. The case was continued un til Monday on request of the defense An Exp-nsive Building. Hamburg. Oct. 26. The splendid town hall of Hamburg, which cost 16. 000.000 marks will be formally dedicated today. M. A. LOW SUCCESSFUL In Sis Effort to Get C H. Thompson Appointed XT. S. Marshal. The news comes from Washington that President McKinley has decided to ap point C. H. Thompson of the claim de partment of the- Rock Island, United States marshal for Oklahoma, and that his appointment will be officially an nounceJTin a few days. This is a decided victory for General Solicitor M. A. Low of the Rock Island. Thompson has been Mr. Low's candi date from the start. When he went to Washington last spring it was supposed that it was in the interest of the can didacy of Maj. T. J. Anderson for pen sion agent, but it is now claimed that his real business in Washington was to urge the appointment of Mr. Thomp son for United States marshal of Okla homa. Whether that was his purpose in visiting Washington, it is certain that is what he did. While Mr. Thompson's home is in Enid, he has for some time past made Topeka his headquarters. He has work ed in the claim department of the Rock Island at the general office building whenever he was in the city and has enjoyed the confidence of Air. Low. This victory of Mr. Low over men like Senator Cullom, who urged the ap pointment of his brother. Gov. Barnes and many others, marks Mr. Low as the rising political leader. Mr. Low bad the support of the Santa Fe officials in hU fight, for he has the reputation of being able to cope with the bandits who overrun the territory and occasionally rob trains. wiresTre1)qwn. Denver's Storm Now Extends Into Nebraska. Denver, Colo., Oct. 26.-2:00 P. M. At this hour there is no indication of a cessation of the storm, which is general in this section. Wires are generally down to the west and south and rail road trains are much delayed. In this city many telegraph and telephone and electric light poles have broken down and shade trees have been badly dam aged. Mayor Mcllurray has ordered the electric light plant closed down on ac count of the danger from broken and crossed wires. Omaha, Neb., Oct. 26. The warmest month of October ever experienced by white men in this region is closing in a blizzard. Rain began falling in western Nebraska and South Dakota last night turning to snow and continuing all night. Dispatches from Valentine are to the effect that heavy snow has fallen there, while in the western end of the state the railroads are having trouble in moving trains Snow has fallen in the Black Hillls and in central South Da kota cold rains have put a stop to threshing. At Omaha the weather is still warm but the storm is expected here by night. MYSTERY CLEARED UP. Identity of the Drowned Baby Found at Kansas City is Established. Liberty, Mo., Oct. 26. William Carr, a farmer has been arrested at his home here charged with drowning his two-year-old daughter. The arrest clears the mystery succeeding the finding of a body in the river, weighted down with stones, near Kansas City two weeks ago. Mrs. Andrew Stephens whose adopted son Carr is, identiiied the clothes of the dead child as those belonging to her granddaughter. Carr claims that he gave the child to a roving family which he met near Kansas City. When the body was first found Mrs. Eunice Lovine, of Kansas City, posi tively identified the clothes on it as those of her child and on tie strength of her statements a warrant was is sued for her husband, charged with murdering the baby. The Lovine child has since been found alive at Lincoln Center, Kansas. FEAR A &1ASSACRE. Americans in Havana Are Alarmed Over the Situation. Havana, Oct. 26. Considerable anxie ty is expressed among the American residents of this city as to the outcome of the demonstration which the volun teers are expected to make on Friday or Saturday next upon the departure of Gen. Weyler for Spain. In spite of the orders from Madrid and the steps taken by the Spanish of ficials here, there is still apparently a determination upon the part of the vol unteers, who in this matter seem- unwil ling to be controlled by their officers, to make the general's departure from Ha vana the occasion of an anti-American demonstration. Should this be the case it is feared that serious trouble may ensue and many families of this city have be- a heard to express more strong ly than ever the wish that a United States warship will be present in this harbor to protect American life and property if necessary. JERRY'S SILVER DOLLAR. Sends to One of Triplets Named After Him. Mrs. M. C. Linn of Galatia, Russell count-, is the mother of triplets, three bouncing boys. and she has named them Bryan, Leedy and Jerry Simpson. Mrs. Linn has notified Mr. Bryan, the governor and Mr. Simpson of the honor which she has conferred upon them. Mr. Simpson was the first to respond and he sent the baby named for him a silver dollar, recommending its use in teething. Mr. Simpson closed his let ter by saying: "I have discharged my obligation to wards the baby named for me, and will permit the governor and) Mr. Bryan to do likewise." THE CZAR IS UNFORGIVING Holds an Old Grudge Against the Grand Duke of Baden. Berlin. Oct. 26. The Tagblaat ex plains today that the refusal of the czar to receive the Grand Duke and Duch ess of Baden at Darmstadt on Saturday last was due to the sarcastic comments made by the Grand Duke of Baden' up on the conversion of the czarina, for merly Princess Alix of Hesse, sister of the Grand Duke of Hesse to the Greek church previous to her marriage to the czar in November, 1S94. s BOTH FIGHT LOW, Republicans and Democrats Wage Bitter War On the Head of the Citizens Union Ticket. GEORGE MEN SANGUINE They Call Attention to the Fact That Tammany Has Not Been Recognized by Bryan or Jones As the Regular Democratic Or ganization. New York, Oct. 26. With only five days remaining in which to complete the work of the municipal campaign, the political situation in Greater New York continues to afford large oppor tunities for conjecture. So far as the betting is indicative of results, Tam many appears to have the best of it, although thei-e are offers of Republican money upon terms that should prove alluring. The odds on Van Wyck against the field are quoted at betting headquarters as 3 to 1, but at the rooms of the Republican campaign committee it is said that those who have a desire to bet against Gen. Tracy can be accommodated with even money to any extent they desire. That the strength of the Citizens union movement is not held in contempt is shown by the space which is given to it in the journals advocating one or another of the regular political par ties. Columns and even pages are de voted to assaults upon Mr. Low's rec ord as a public official and as the head of Columbia university. While the Jeffersonian Democracy's strength, within certain limitations, is conceded on all sides, it is only among the most enthusiastic adherents of Henry George that the claim is made that he will be elected. The real im portance of his candidacy lies in the source from which his votes will be drawn. The Georgite campaign man agers have visibly abandoned the claim to regularity in the following sentences: "Tammany Hall claims to be the reg ular Democratic organization of this city and county. We dispute that claim and although they have possession of the title which is nine points of the law they have not as yet received one word of approval from Senator Jones or W. J. Bryan who are the leaders of the national Democratic party today and we do not think ehey will get it." Whoever shall be the victor in the mayoralty contest will win by a plural ity vote only. The total vote may be 525.000. The secretary of the Citizens' union asserts that Low will win with 190.000; Van Wyck receiving 135,000 and Tracv and George 100.000 each. The Republican claim is 210.000 for Tracy. 145.000 for Van Wyck, 90,000 for George and 60,000 for Low. FATHER DUCEY TO HELP. Will SpeaK at Cooper Union forGeorge Bourke Cockran for Tracy. New York, Oct. 26. Rev. Thomas J. Ducey, pastor of St. Leo's Catholic church has notified Henry George head quarters that he has engaged Cooper Union for a public meeting on Thurs day evening at which "political boss ism" will be denounced and the name of Henry George as mayor favored. Bourke Cockran announces that he will take the stump for Gen. Tracy. MAYOR TAGGERT IS BUSY. He Hasn't Time to Go to the Aid of Tammany. Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 26. Relative to his reported trip to New York in be half of Tammany, Mayor Taggart says that he has no intention of going to New York and participating in the Tammany campaign. "I was invited a week ago," said he, "to go in the Carter Harrison party but I am too busy right here now trying to take care of local affairs to go away. Mr. Bailey went to Chicago last night where he was authorized by me to say that I would be glad to go, but that I could not. If T should change my mind be fore they leave I will let them know." HURT ON THE TRACK. B. A. Layne of Topeka, Pushed Along by a Locomotive Pilot. B. A. Layne. a son of Mr. John Layne, Santa Fe bridge inspector of this city, was seriously injured while at work in Atchison yesterday. He was struck in the back by a Missouri Pacific switch engine, knocked to the track and pushed along by the pilot for a distance of 20 feet before the engi neer discovered his plight and stopped the engine. He was brought to the Santa Fe hospital in this city last night. On examination it was found that al though no bones were broken Layne had sustained internal injuries, and his body was badiy cut and bruised. He is reported improved at the Santa Fe hos pital today, and it is probable that the injuries will not result seriously. SENATOR MORGAN ILL. He is Suffering From an Attack: of Fever at Hotel del Coronado. San Diego, Cal., Oct. 26. United States Senator Morgan arrived here at 6:30 last evening and proceeded to Cor onado. The senator was not feeling well and consequently it was not deemed advisa ble to tender him the reception that had been arranged at Hotel del Coronado in his honor. Senator Morgan's illness is said to be due to a cold which he caught on the battleship Oregon. At an early hour this morning a telephone message from the Coronado hotel stated that the sen ator was suffering from a high fever. Mass. Masonic xiis in Bad Sbaps. Boston, Oct. 26. A report on the financial condition of the Massachusetts Masonic Life association of Springfield, made by a representative of the state insurance commissioner shows: As sets $32,018; liabilities ?SS,S35. The offi cers had already decided not to send out the October assessment call. CITY WILL NOT ACCEPT Offer of Waterworks Company Asks Further Concessions. The city council at an executive meet ing last night refused to accept the terms for the settlement of the differ ences between the city and the water company, offered by President Street and P. C. Hord of the company. The whole matter was referred to the special committee of three appointed some time ago with instructions to in form the officers of the new company that the council will not consider the proposition for settlement unless the company agrees to a general reduction of 20" per cent on all private rates. The proposition was for a reduction of 20 per cent on all houses of five rooms or less and for sprinkling. It is not yet known whether or not the company will accept th s further de mand. It will be considered, and Mr. Hord, who is in the city, will inform the council of the decision in a day or two. The question now is whether or not the litigation shall be continued or whether the trouble between the city and water company shall be amicably adjusted so that the remaining four years of life which the franchise has to run. will not be one of law suits and quarrels. PULLMAN'S BOYS Are Cut Off From Any Share in the Estate. Chicago, Oct. 26. The will of the late George M. Pullman, the palace car mag nate, will be probated tomorrow. It was read to the Pullman family after their return from the funeral, and was placed in the hands of Robert T. Lin coln. It is locked up in a private vault in Mr. Lincoln's home on the lake shore drive. The will covers five sheets of fools cap paper, distributes $25,000,000 in mon ey, real estate, bonds, mortgages and notes, and names Robert T. Lincoln and Norman B. Ream as executors. Mr. Lincoln says the document is very sim ple considering the extensive interests involved. He will not give out the details until it is probated. It is understood, how ever, that the bulk of the estate will de volve upon Mrs. Pullman, the widow. This will be held by her until her death, when it will revert to the children un der certain conditions for the boys. Mrs. Florence Lowden, one of the daughters, and regarded as the late money king's favorite child, will be made through the beneficiary one of the wealthiest women in Chicago. A considerable portion of the estate will likewise be inherited by her son on the death of her mother. Mrs. Frank J. Carolan, the other daughter, will come in for nearly $1,000,000, but is not so liberally endowed as her sister. George M. and Sanger Walter Pullman, the twin brothers and only sons, will have to undergo a period of probation before they will be intrusted with any portion of the late millionaire's fortune. It is learned through a close friend of the family, who has seen the will, that neither of the boys will lack pocket money. A number of shares in the Pullman Palace Car company and other businesses will be turned over to the trustees, who will provide them from S2.000 to $5,000 a year for five years. Should their conduct be pleasing to their mother and other members of the family they will receive a number of valuable securities outright. The will was drawn up two weeks ago. the es capades of his sons causing Mr. Pull man to make a new testament. All sorts of stories are current in financial circles over the Pullman will. It was said positively that the estate was not worth over $20,000,000 or $25. 000, 000. Some well known LaSalle street men say however, that George M. Pull man's income has averaged $10,000,000 for a number of years. Mr. Lincoln said today that there were a great number of public bequests but refused to give them out. Neither of the exe cutors of the will would confirm or de ny the statement that Mr. Pullman had disinherited his two sons, George M., and Sanger W. Pullman. The Chicago university comes in for a large amount, it is also said. GOT THE STAFFLECACKS. Sheriff Who Put the Murdering Fam ily in PrisoD Visiting Here. Sheriff L. M. Radley of Cherokee county, who distinguished himself by bringing the Stafflebacks to justice, was in the city today on official business, spending a part of his time visiting friends at the state house. Mr. Radley regards the Stafflebacks as the most dangerous criminals ever captured in Kansas. He said today: "The Stafflebacks, while not so crafty and cunning as the Benders, were more cold blooded and dangerous, and I can didly believe that no state in the union has ever been infested by such a gang of murderers and plunderers. Since they have been arrested, tried, convict ed and sent to the penitentiary, we have traced at le.ast a dozen butcheries of human beings to this gang. Chero kee county people are all glad to see them in the penitentiary." Mr. Radley has photographs of the Staffleback family, and it would be dif ficult to imagine three more villainous men or a mother more depraved and criminal in instinct as portrayed in those pictures. BISHOP POT TER'SEXAjIPLE It Prove3 That "Preachin' and Prac tice Don't Gee." New York. Oct. 26. In a recent arti cle Bishop Henry C. Potter pointed out the imperative necessity of every citi zen registering.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 26. 1897. IRISH JJHOLERA Attacks the Inhabitants of the Emerald Isle As the Result of Eating Defec tive Potatoes. THIS SORT IS SCARCE And Prospect of Famine Grows Daily jilore Apparent. Meetings Being Held to ProTide Belief Measures. Dublin, Oct. 26. There are two sides to the question of the famine in Ire land. One side is that of the govern ment, which alleges that the famine is exploited by politicians as an argument against the administration of Irish af fairs. The other side, held by many of the clergy, politicians and people, is that it is certain there will be great distress throughout large sections of the country. A meeting- of Roman Catholic pre lates was held at Maynootb this week and those present adopted resolutions that the Irish bishops and bishops of Ireland deem it their duty to submit to the government a statement of their conviction, formed on the personal knowledge of seven members of that body, that the failure of the potato and e:eal crops in many districts, espec ially on the southern and western coasts must lead to great distress and unless some expedient measures of re lief are adopted, to serious consequen ces. It is particularly bad in the middle and western Cork districts, from Ma croon to the borders of Kerry, includ ing two congested districts. Meetings are being held, the parish priests pre siding, to urge the government to start relief works before the people reach the point of actual suffering. The dis trict of Bantry where the greatest suf fering occurred in 185 and 1879, is as 'bad as the Cork districts. The pota toes are practically exhausted already. In mid-Cork and along the southern coast there is not more than a quarter of the usual crop. It is said that a very email percentage of the farmers in these districts have saved their pota toes, and those saved are reported to be bo badly diseased that when eaten they produce "Irish cholera." It is feared that the supply of food will be exhausted before next year.The other crops are very bad. The laborers are worse off than the farmers, because now that the crops are harvested they have no expectation of work until the spring. The government officials insist on keeping themselves fully informed re garding the conditions prevailing and will be able, apparently to cope with the distress but they say they are un able to announce at this time what dis tricts or how many people will be af fected. J. B. Daugherty, assistant under sec retary of state for Ireland, discussing the situation with a reporter of the Associated Press said there would un doubtedly be suffering but added that the predictions of a famine similar to that of 1S48 were the greatest rubbish. He added: '"There are several coun ties on the west coast of Ireland where the people have had an exceedingly hard time to attain self-support under the best conditions and it requires just a small push to send them over the line so that with a small falling off of the crops they will be obliged to ac cept aid. This will be the case in parts of the west coast. Two circumstances, however, namely the increase of rail road facilities since 1S47 and the fact that the people no longer depend en tirely upon the potato crop, are to be considered. "'The truth is that part of Ireland is -not sufficiently productive to support i Its people, and it is a question whether manufactures should not be taken to 'them or whether they should not be taken to the manufacturers of Eng land, the United States, or elsewhere, though I am not prepared to say which. If electricity was largely applied to (manufacturing in Ireland that country would have a great future as a manu facturing center but if Ireland is obliged to import coal it would be un (bie to compete with England and other countries." In conclusion, Mr. Daugherty left it to be inferred that relief work would be inaugurated, al though, he did not say so. GIRLS AT AUCTION. tSale at La Orange, Oa., to Raise Li brary Fund. Xjsl Grange, fia., Oct. 26. A remark able public sale of young ladies, con ducted for the purpose of raising funds for a woman's library, was conducted j here last night in the Southern Fe male college. There are two female colleges, both of which have pupils all the way from Virginia to Texas, and the rival col lege sent over its students to witness the great exhibition wihch was to be given by the Southern. Messrs. Wisdom and Moon, two prom inent citizens possessing the auction eer's faculty, conducted the auction, describing the charms of each of the twelve young ladies, who were put up one by one. The greatest contest was over Miss Fannie Belle Strong, to whom a prize was awarded for having brought the best price. Two young men dressed up as young ladies were run in as numbers thirteen and fourteen, who were unmercifully STjyed when the fact was discovered upon their unmasking. J. G.

The President is Likely to Turn Over the Cuban Question to That Body Washington, Oct. 26. It is not doubt ed among officials that the basis of the Spanish reply to Mr. Woodford's note will be the charge that the United States has not observed the require ments of international law in the mat ter of preventing filibustering. In this case, the state department will have some pertinent facts to present, which, its officials believe, will completely alienate from Spain any sympathy that she may have attracted from other Eu ropean nations on that score. It is asserted positively that in no single case where the Spanish authorities have brought to the attention of our government the fact that an illegal expedition was about to start from our shore for Cuba, has it neglected to use all the means permitted by our laws to prevent the start. It has been so in dulgent in this respect as to accept statements from the Spanish officials, not accompanied by proofs, but mere suggestions that they had reason to be lieve that an expedition had been formed. The United States officials have gone to such lengths in restrain ing alleged expeditions that large claims by ship owners for illegal deten tion have resulted. The navy department, especially, has been embarrassed owing to the neces sity for diverting vessels from other places for the disagreeable Florida pa trol. On the official estimates the ex pense the United States has been to protect the Cuban coast for Spain is about $2,000,000. This is probably a large estimate, but one naval officer, who is thoroughly cognizant of the strain put upon the department by the patrol, stated that it would really be cheaper for the United States to send a fleet to Cuba and blockade the coast there against coming filibusters than to try to stop them on our own extensive coast line. Altogether the officials here are confident of their ability to show that the government has more than complied with the requirements of international law. which as laid down in the Alabama arbitration, simply de mands that a nation use diligence to prevent the departure of hostile expedi tions. On this question the corres pondence may be kept alive between the state department and the Spanish government until congress meets, but it is expected that unless some results in the direction of suggestions of Mr. Woodford are forthcoming by that time, the President will refer the entire mat ter to congress and await its order. It was stated also in other quarters by those in a position to know what had occurred at Madrid that the answer had not been delivered to Minister Woodford. It has been approved by the cabinet, however, and is to be com municated to Minister Woodford today or tomorrow. A denial was made by an authorita tive source that Senor Dupuy de Lome had intimated to the state department that Spain would resort to the search and seizure of suspected American ves sels on the high seas if filibustering expeditions continued to leave this country. The reports, it is believed grew out of visits made by the minister to the state department. On these vis its he called the attention of the offi cials to the departure of the alleged fili buster Silver Heels, after the authori ties were put in possession of explicit information regarding the vessel. As intimations have been made that the instructions to Minister Woodford may be made public at Madrid, the statement is made by officials here that no publication of the instructions be fore the assemblage of congress will be approved by the United States, and without this approval it would be con trary to the usage of diplomacy for the Madrid authorities to make public the correspondence. IN NICARAGUA'S PRISON. An American Citizen Incarcerated Without a Trial. Managua, Nicaragua, Oct. 26. John Au gustine, an American citizen, was arrest ed at San Carlos, at the mouth of the San Juan river, on September 24, by or der of President Zelaya's brother, and without any pretense of a trial was im prisoned in the penitentiary. He former ly was United States consul at Blueflelds, and is at present in charge of the navi gation company's steamers on the San Juan river. About October 3 Mr. Augustine succeed ed in sending word of his imprisonment to the United States consul at Managua, who, it is claimed, informed the prisoner that he could do nothing for him, citing, it is alleged, the instance of two tramps from the United States who had been ar rested several months ago for cause and who were shipped out of the country. However, about October 5 the fact of Mr. Augustine's imprisonment became known to United States Minister Baker, who wrote to President Zelaya with the result that the prisoner was allowed to leave the penitentiary on parole, with or ders not to leave the city of Managua. The faots in the case seem to be that the government of Nicaragua, several days previous to the arrest of Mr. Augus tine, had forcibly taken possession of the steamers of the navigation company and was running them to'suit itself. On Sep tember 28 Mr. Augustine was ordered by a government official to direct the move ments of the boats, apparently for the purpose of getting the company to feed and pay the offiers and men on board. This he refused to do unless the boats were turned over to the company, and he received orders from the latter to com ply with the government's demands. Un der these circumstances, Mr. Augustine requested the Nicaraguan military officer commanding at Fort San Carlos to tele graph to the company for instructions. But, instead, it is asserted, this officer telegraphed something to his superior of ficer, which caused the order for the ar rest of Mr. Augustine to be issued, "whether he is a citizen of the United States or not." J. M. Thirswend, of Grosbeck, Tex., says that when he has a spell of indi gestion, and feels bad and sluggish, he takes two of DeWitt's Little Early Ris ers at night, and he is all right the next morning.

Dawson. Stations Will Be Fifty Miles Apart and Provisioned. WORK HAS COMMENCED Journey to the Klondike Will JBe Safe and Easy. Supplies Can Be Purchased All Along the llonte. Skaguay, Oct. 21, via Seattle, Oct.26. Clifford Sifton, minister of the interior returned yesterday from a trip over the Chilkoot and Skaguay trails, going as far as Lake Tagish. Mr. Sifton says from information he received while in the interior there will be no shortage of food at Dawson City this winter, and that the reports of ravages by the typhoid fever have been greatly exag gerated. He also says that the richness of the new discoveries on Dominion, Sulphur, Quartz and Moose Skin creeks in the Klondike district has been fully established. Mr. Sifton further said the disposition of the Canadian govern ment was to facilitate any reasonable plan for getting into the Yukon. The government he said, understands that if the rich gold fields of the Yukon dis trict are to be developed easy means of communication must be had. Posts will be established at other points along the routes leading from Skaguay to and down the lakes and rivers at Dawson City. These posts will be gar risoned with police to aid in the sup pression of lawlessness and furnish any needed assistance to travelers. They will also contain stores of food and clothing which can be forwarded as re quired at any time to the Yukon coun try. The work of building the posts has already been commenced at Sheep Camp, Linderman, Tagish, and White Horse Rapids and others will be built at a distance of 50 miles all the way down the Yukon to Dawson City. Mr. sifton will leave for the south to morrow or the next day. They will as cend the btickeen river as far as prac ticable, the object being to examine the shoals and quicksands that beset the rapid Stickeen. There is a corner in flour at Dawson and none can be had at any price. This is the statement made by Cliff C. Moore. one or a party of four who reached here last night, having come direct from Dawson City. ivaoore was accompanied bv his son. Morris R. Moore. N. C. Woodring and George F. Compton, all residents of Se attle, Wn. The party left Dawson on September 9. At that time, not a pound of flour could be obtained. There was plenty in town, However, the availiable supply being held for higher prices. Enter prising speculators with monev "cor nered the flour" and while their ware houses were filled to overflowing there was not an ounce to sell. Mr. Moore thought the people would finally raid the warehouses and help themselves. Canned meats sold at 75c a can; milk at oic; Deans at 25c: sugar at 30c a pound. Six steamers were daily expected to arrive from St. Michael and their ar rival would end the flour corner and insure ample provisions for this winter. On their way up the river, Mr. Moore and party met from five to twenty ooats aaiiy going down to Dawson City. They only heard of one wreck on the route, no lives being reported lost. .Dominion, bulphur. Quartz and Mon tana creeks and branches of Indian riv er, a tributary of the Klondike and Moose Skin, a tributary of the Yukon. a few miles below Dawson, which were described last summer, are all exceed ingly rich, but do not rival Eldorado and Bonanza creeks in the Klondike.

Farmers along the line of the abandoned Meriden, Wat erbury Connecticut River railroad have been victimized by a tramp under pecu liar circumstances. He stopped at nearly every house along the road and told this story: 'My employer, Judge Robertson, sent me from his Kew Haven office to close up the affairs of the railroad. As the land through which the railroad runs re verts to the persons who owned it prio to the tracks being laid. Judge Robertson is disposing of all passenger stations, pumping stations, tanks, railroad ties, etc. The judge is anxious to sell off these en cumbrances as soon as possible, so that the land can be tilled once more In all its verdant freshness." The man "sold" over $1,000 worth ot property to Herr Mischler for $2 on ac count, with railroad ties thrown in. At West Cheshing he offered to sell the de pot for $100, but dropped to $5 and ac cepted $3 from a conliding victim. In each case the tramp signed receipts for the money. CONVICTS NOT LEASED. North Carolina Penitentiary Directors Make Changes. Raleigh, N. C, Oct. 26. The peniten tiary directors today unanimously decided that Dr. Kirby Smith, son of the super intendent, had been guilty of Immorality with female prisoners and that the charges against him were fully proved. Dr. George L. Kirby and Superintendent Smith were commended for promptly dis charging him as supervisor. All the officials and employes who have their families in the penitentiary are or. dered to move them immediately.

A Case Similar to the Sohlegel One Comes TJp at Kansas City. Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 26. Dr. Jeffer son D. Goddard has been placed on trial here for the murder of Frederick J. Jackson at the Woodland hotel on the night of April 2 last. Mrs. Jackson had previously been arrested for complicity in the crime, but the subsequent grand jury failed to indict her and she was re leased. Dr. Goddard managed a drug store owned by Mrs. Jackson, who also was proprietress of an extensive laundry busi ness. Jackson called on his wife on the evening of the murder at her private apartments to persuade her from spend ing more money on Goddard. He met Goddard there and the two quarreled. Jackson drew a revolver, but his daugh ter disarmed him, and two hours later, while Jackson was unarmed.Goddard shot and killed him. Mrs. Jackson's lawyer Is one of the attorneys for the defense, and since Goddard's arrest she and her two daughters have sided with him. Com ing as it does on the heels of the sensa tional trial of John Schlegel for the mur der of Dr. Berger, the Goddard case is attracting great attention. In both cases the doctors were charged with breaking up a home. ACCIDENTAL DEATH Is the Verdict of the Coroner's Jury in the Case of I-angtry. Chester, England.Oct. 26.

An Old Indian Woman Takes Them to the Lost Placer Diggings. Victoria, B. C. Oct. 26. Nine years aeo two pioneer miners, Gid .Hathaway and John Robinson, started from Germanson creek, in Omineca district, to prospect the national lake and river country. The next year their skeletons were found side by side, they having been evidently re turning when overtaken by death. Heavy shot gold was found in their clothing-, and it was learned at Kort Macleod that they had paid coarse sold for supplies there, remarking that there was plenty more where that came from. Where they lo cated the treasure remained a mystery until this season, although several lives have been lost in the futile endeavor to!' rediscover the lost creek. Last year seven of the old timers got together J. J. May, Captain Black, Wil liam Kenton, John Lyons. Harry Good all, Hugh Grant and Ezra Evans and agreed that one more move should be made. So a well equipped expedition was last June dispatched into the Omineca wilderness, starting from Manson creek and piloted by an Indian woman who re membered Hathaway and thought she knew the country they had been working in. The path she selected was in the territory of the Stikeen rivef, little known to the Omineca Indians. No objection was made by them to the invasion of their country, and the stream was eventually reached wrhere Hathaway and Robinson had been working. Abundant indications of their opera tions were found, besides a cabin par tially in ruin, in which over $l,uu0 in dust was recovered, stored in a wooden soap box, which there had been no effort to conceal. Grant and his companions panned the creek in several places, tak ing out $30 to ?G0 daily, and immediately staking claims for all interested with them. Their report, on returning to Mansion, so excited the old Cassiar min ers that a great rush is anticipated in the spring. Colonel Weatherljy, a for mer Cuban insurgent commander, has al ready organized an expedition, which he expects will be first in the field. The new creek has been named Hathaway, and one adjoining it, equally promising, Robinson, ENGLAND'S NAVAL BATTLE. The Nelson Status in TrafalgarSquaro Decorated on the Anniversary. London, Oct. 26. Tha anniversary of the Battle of Trafagar was celebrated in the usual manner recently. The Nelson col umn In Trafalgar square was decorated in memory of Lord Nelson, and the usual crowds, quiet and orderly, elbowed one another in the space around the monu ment. The Navy league dressed the column half way up with an unsightly wisp called a "naval crown," and from that point down to the base the monument was covered with evergreen streamers. Upon the base of the column were four shields bearing mottoes, such as: "Eng land expects every man to do his duty." etc., and Rudyard's Kipling's "Lest We Forget." The private wreaths which were placed at the foot of the monument were almost countless. The mastheads and yardarms of Nelson's old flagship Victory, lying in Portsmouth harbor.were covered with laurel wreaths and ever greens. Newspapers take advantage of the op portunity to print the verses of "Brit annia Rules the Wave," "Mistress of the Seas," etc. J. H. Oregg, of Dundee, Kan., writes: "My little daughter who has been trou bled with Croup ever since she was three months old, I never found any thing to relieve her until I tried Begsis Chei.'y Cough Syrup, and that hascured her entirely. I think it is the best Cough Syrup on the market. At drug gists. Coids quickly caught are more quick ly cured by Beggs Cherry Cough Syr up. At druggists. V

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAX,, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 26. 1897. IN B0YJ5ATTIRE Annabel Farmer Fled From Her Home in Chanute. Story of Her Hard Luck Chicago. in GOT XO EMPLOYMENT. Y. W. C A., of Which She Was an Active Member, Turned Her Out When Jloney Was Gone. Her Chicago, Oct. 26. Much comment has fceen aroused against the management of the Y. W. C. A. home, 22S Michigan avenue, because of the treatment ac corded Miss Annabel Farmer.the young girl who ran away from her home in Chanute, Kan., and was found by a park policeman overcome by exhaustion after having been turned out of the Michigan avenue quarters, because of her inability to pay for accommoda tions. For almost a week the young woman has been lodged in the Harrison street station. Up to today no reply had been received from her father to re quests for transportation home, and of ficers of the Y. W. C. A., of which Miss Farmer was an active member in Kan sas City, have, she says, not tried to lielp her in any way. Late yesterday, however, Miss Far mer found employment and a home.he also received an offer of marriage, but this she refused. A letter was received from the youns lady's father today saying that he was dependent on his pension for support, and would not be able to provide for lier expenses home until the next pay ment was due. He requested that she secure employment until then. The let ter was signed: "Hon." J. Q. Farmer. Miss Farmer is an accomplished young woman, being a graduate of Stephens college, a Baptist institution at Colum bia. Mo. After graduating she took a course in elocution and music at the state university of Missouri. She then entered Spalding's business college at Kansas City, where she took a six months' course in stenography and bookkeeping. Through her father's influence she secured a government position as ste nographer at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., in the revenue office. With the change of administration she lost her position, and, being unable to get along with h stepmother, she decided to come to Chi cago. "I wish I had never taken the foolish step to run away from home." she said last night, as the tears coursed down her pale cheeks. "Now I feel that I am disgraced forever, and I can't go back and I'Mce the people who held me in high esteem before my foolish escapade. I cut my hair off it reached to my knees almost so as to better my disguise. In boy's attire I escaped from the house late at night and I walked along lonely country roads until I came to Humboldt the first town north of Chanute on the Santa Fe railroad. I had purchased a ticket to Chicago, with a sleeping car berth, the day before, and when the train came along I got aboard without exciting suspicion. "It was night when I arrived in Chi cago, and I went to the Saratoga hotel in Dearborn street, where I registered as a man. I paid my bill in advance and ordered breakfast brought to my room in the morning. After breakfast I discarded the boy's suit and donned my own attire, which I carried in a satchel. I walked out of the hotel and went directly to the Y. W. C. A. home on Michigan avenue. I was there about three weeks, and then my money ran out. During that time I had searched every day for employment, but without success. I must have answered 50 ad vertisements, but I was always too late, not being acquainted with the city and not knowing the quickest way to get to the places. In some instances I could have got a position if I had had city references. After leaving the Y. C. A. home. I went to the Sherman house, where I stayed a week. I pre sume that my manner and dress indi cated to the clerks that I was a person of some refinement, and a week passed before I was sent a bill. I expected ev ery day to find work, and I used to walk the streets until I was exhausted. I was told very politely by the Sherman house cashier that unless I paid the bill I owed. I would have to leave. With a wenk heart and an empty stomach. I started out again to look for employ ment, and I tramped until I sank from exhaustion in the park, where the po lice found me. "I don't want to go home, because I am of an independent nature, and want to earn my own living. If I could onlv get a position I would be so happy. I thought of applying to some of the Baptist institutions in Chicago, for in stance, having been educated in a Bap tist college, but I couldn't summon up courn ge." Miss Farmer shows refinement and culture in her talk. Physically, she is frail, but she claims to be able to do a large amount of work. Her hair, a beautiful auburn, is cut close to her head at the back. "The last thing I did when I left tiome." she said, "was to kiss the hair I had out off. and lay it affectionate! v on the dresser. At college the girls used to admire my hair so much, and the loss of it almost drives me insane at times. If my mother had lived I never would have had this kind of an exper ience."

The business houses of Clay Center were decorated with flags and bunting and pictures of many noted war gener als hung in the windows. Two large arches span the streets with the ban ners "Welcome" flying from them, while on top of the main arch was a union and confederate soldier shaking hands. Companies F and K of the First regi ment of U. S. cavalry and Company F of the Fourth regiment of U. S. artillery from Fort Riley were present. The parade of the IT. S. troops and school children was a notable and in spiring success. The school children numbered several thousand and every school in Clay county was represented! in the parade. A portion of the Modoc club of To peka, headed by Maj. Tom Anderson, was present, and sang as they never did before and as only the Modocs can. The dedication of the soldiers' monu ment under the auspices of the Clay Center W. R. C assisted by the United States troops from i ort Riley, was a feature of the reunion. The inscrip tion on the marble slab reads: "Erected and dedicated to the mem ory of the soldiers and sailors of the war of the rebellion of 1S61 to 1865 by Phil Sheridan Women's Relief Corps Xo. 10 and the patriotic citizens of Clay county. Kansas, 1S97." The foundation is built of stone about four feet high, on the top of which is a cannon, furnished by the war depart ment. The programme of the dedicatory ex ercises was as follows: Salute Ft. Riley troops. Singing School children. Invocation Rev. J. G. Henderson. Modocs. Presentation address Effie Loader. Response J. C. Mayos. Placing of records. Unveiling of monument by Merithal Millen. Salute by troops. Solo "Star Spangled Banner," Mrs. Susie Priest. Flag salute School children. Dedication address W. A. Calder head. "America." Pembleton's noted drum corps of Ne braska was present to entertain the comrades and visitors. Mrs. Belle Harris of Emporia, a prom inent W. R. C. lady, entertained the old soldiers with her patriotic songs. Junction City was chosen for the next reunion and J. K. Wright was elected president of the Fifth District Reunion association. The people of Clay Center will long be remembered for their hospitality in do ing all in their power to make the re union a success. The 1.000 visitors who looked on and took part in the most magnificent parade the place has ever seen will always have a warm spot in their heart for the town.

Ex.Senator Ingalla Holds a Note for $5,000 Other Amounts. The Atchison Globe says: Several Atchison councilmen are said to favor the purchase of several thousand dol lars worth of new fire department ap paratus. Do these councilmen realize that there is an overdraft in the general revenue fund, at the present time, of $4,000? Besides this overdraft, notes for the following amounts are held against the city: Exchange National bank. $10,000; John J. Ingalls, $5,000; Julius Kuhn, $2,500; A. J. Harwi, $2,500. The money which the notes represent was borrowed in July last, to make up a deficit in the interest and internal improvement funds. The money was borrowed for three years at 7 per cent interest, but the Ingalls note was recently renewed for three months. The city now has $7,000 with which to apply on these loans, and will have about $3,000 more in a few days. The overdraft in the general revenue fund has existed several years. It was $10,000 at the beginning of May or Waggener's term, but has been gradually reduced. BARN BURNERS OUT. Smith County Having a Reign of In cendiary Fires.

Two nights before the barn of a man named John Kennedy, living some twelve miles southeast of town, was destroj-ed by fire in the same mysteri ous manner, about the same time of night, and nine head of horses perished. WICHITA MASONS HAD. Withdrew From the Scottish Rite Convention at Washington. Washington, D. C, Oct. 26.

The W'ichita consistory stands second numerically and first financially of all the consistories of the southern juris diction. It was largely organized by members formerly from the states in the northern jurisdiction. Colonel J. Jiles Smith, of Wichita, had the unani mous backing of the delegates from his city for inspector general. He has long been prominently identified with the progressive element of the order, and his comrades felt that he should be rewarded, and decided upon him for the place. There was a vacancy, as Mr. Carr, the former inspector of the state, naa lett Kansas, and is now ir Montana. Mr. Carr. before leaving, recommended that M. M. Miller, of To- peKa, succeed him. The matter came up at the session two years ago, but was postponed until the present meet ing. The council ignored the claims of Col. Smith, and appointed Mr. Miller deputy for the entire state. This made the Wichita delegates, personal friends of Col. Smith, angry, and, telling the coun cil tnat they thought they were entitled to have some voice in the distribution of the plums for their own state, left the hall. At the conclusion of the giving of the thirty-third degree. Col. J. Jiles Smith, of Wichita, on behalf of his western brethren, presented S. H. Horner of Caldwell, Kan., with an elegantly orna mented cut-glass goblet. Mr. Horner acted as the purveyor to the party which met in Chicago, and the goblet was presented as a memento of the trip.

Abilene, Oct. 26. The business of the Rinehart Cheese company is spreading out remarkably. A draft has been re ceived for cheese shipped to the city of Mexico. It was worded in Spanish. A lew weeks ago the editor was taken with a very severe cold that caused him to be in a most miserable condition. It was undoubtedly a bad case of la gripne and recognizing it as dangerous he took immediate steps to bring about a speedy cure. From the advertisement of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and the many good recommendations in cluded therein, we concluded to make a first trial of the medicine. To say that it was satisfactory in its results, is putting it very mildly indeed. It al-ted like magic and the result was a speedy and permanent cure. We have no hesi tancy in recommending this excellent Cough Remedy to anyone afflicted with a cough or cold In any form The Ban ner of Liberty, Libertytown, Maryland.

LATE SANTA FE OKDEK Lake View and Tecumseh to Hare New Depots. A. E. Austin Named Assistant Trainsmaster at Wellington. The Santa Fe railway company Js becoming absolutely solicitous about the comfort of its passengers. An or der has been issued instructing all pas senger conductors that from this time on, while passing through the coaches during the night, their lanterns must be thoroughly concealed underneath their coats so that the light may not disturb passengers. The order further instructs conductors to be particular in closing car doors, and under no circumstances to allow them to slam. It appears that the complaints which have been received from time to time by the company from passengers who were rudely awakened by the glare of a railroad lantern or the slam of a coach door are responsible for the issu ance of this particular order. If pas sengers will now take the opportunity of making a general complaint on the unpleasantness of sleeping in a chair car or regulation passenger coach, the company may conclude to furnish pil lows and dressing gowns, if not to change the present equipment for Pull man standard sleepers.

Congress, by a recent enactment, authorized the liquidation of the indebt edness of the Creeks, amounting to $2'X,,-000,- incurred by the Indians for various purposes. The amount appropriated was to be paid out of the United States treas ury and deducted out of the funds of the tribe now in the treasury. The work of paying off was brgtm months ago, but when the last warrants were presented it was found that th amount paid had reached $42,000. Special Agent W. H. Zeverley of Missouri, for merly confidential agent for Secretary Francis, was immediately dispatched to make an investigation. Mr. Zeverley left here October 4. Since then he has been working on the case and official advices from him show that over $!J.0 worth of the warrants were fraudulent.

THE UNION PACIFIC SITUATION After all that has been said about the government's bad bargain in con nection with the aid granted to the Un ion Pacific railroad. Uncle Sam now seems in a fair way to get his money back. Under an arrangement made by Mr. Cleveland and his attorney general the government became a party to a fore closure suit with the understanding that the reorganization committee, a syndicate formed for the purchase of the property should bid $40,000, OHO at the sale. This was the situation when President McKinley assumed the ad ministration of affairs. He at first con cluded to let matters proceed as they had been started but later decided that the guaranteed bid was not high enough and the syndicate headed by J. Pierpont Morgan and backed by the Vanderbilts raised the bid $4,090,000. With this understanding the suit pro ceeded and the order of sale was is sued. Recently however, railroad property has been looking up in the market and ehrewed financiers hve expressed th opinion that the Union Pacific property is worth more even, than the govern ment's entire claim, which is $53,000,000. So strong has this impression become that Attorney General McKeraia has announced to the reorganization com mittee that he will ak the court to postpone the sale until after the as sembling of congress. On receiving this information the purchasing syndicate declared its in tention of opposing an extension of time and expressed a determination to bid the full amount of the govern ment's claim if by so doing delay could be prevented. In the meantime it is reported that another syndicate is being formed headed by Russell Sage for the pur pose of buying the property which seems to have risen so greatly in value in a short time. It will be remembered that when an effort was being made by a lobby in congress to obtain a fifty years exten sion of the debt, it was alleged that no body would buy the roads if the gov ernment should force a sale. For the purpose of covering such a contingency a bill was passed, known as the Thur man act, making provision for pur chase by the government at a price equivalent to its claim. There has been no movement in the direction of carrying out this provision apparently from a fear that the government might be left with the property on its hands. There now seems no reason why any such fear should be entertained. The United States would doubtless be per fectly safe in making a bid if it were necessary to do so. But as matters now stand such a course will scarcely fee called for unless the rival syndicates shall pool their interests. That they have not yet done so is evidenced by the declaration of the Morgan syndi cate above referred to. If the government can make sure of receiving all that is due it there seems to be no necessity for the attorney general to cause any delay in the sale. GLOBE SIGHTS. (From the Atchison Globe.) No tight laced woman ever made good butter. An Kpiscopal minister doesn't preach; he "officiates." The best pugilist in Atchison acquired his art fighting over the girls after church Sunday evening. We have long expected it: Pictures of the Madonna are beginning to ap pear with the hair frizzed. When a woman with "proper pride" takes in roomers, she says it isn't for the money, but for the company. A man who left Atchison several years ago comparatively poor, was in town today with seven five cent cigars in his pocket.

The latest in gait Is the "School Teachers' Trot." It is a gait adopted r t Frl. Sal 13 i 15 16 22 23 1 29 30 1 k by a teacher when she is afraid the bell will ring before she gets there. An Atchison man does not have much luck with his love affairs: he recently thought he had a. love affair with a certain young woman, who took poison because of love for another fellow. Shiftlessness is about the worst of all tha bad habits. A man may be smart enough, but if he is shiftless, and sleeps until nine o'clock in the morning, because he bums around the streets until late at night, he can never amount to anything. We are tired of hearing of these smart young men: they seldom amount to anything. SUNSHINE. (From the Buffalo Evening News.) If we sit down at set of sun And count the things that we have done. And counting, find One self-denying act, one word That eased the heart of him who heard. One glance most kind, That fell like sunshine where it went, Then we may count the day well spent. But if through all the livelong day We've eased no heart by yea or nay; If through it all We've done no thing that we can trace. That brought the sunshine to the face; No act. most small. That helped some soul and nothing cost, Then count that day as worse than lost. Learn to laugh. A good laugh is better than medicine. Learn to keep your own troubles to yourself. The world is too busy to care for your ills and sorrows. If you cannot see any good In the world, keep the bad to yourself. Learn to hide your pains and aches under a pleasant smile. Brooding over trouble is like sur rounding oneself with a fog; it magni fies all the objects seen through it. Oc cupation of the mind prevents this. This learned I from the shadow of a tree That to and fro did sway upon a wall. Our shadow-selves, our influence, may fall Where we can never be. COLORADO AY051EN REVOLT. Tired of the Way in Which Their Sis ters Conduct Politics. Denver, Oct. 26. The women of Colo rado have grown tired or the way in which their own dear sisters run poli tics, and have bolted the very ticket that had been selected for the purity of the ballot and a lot of other things that looked well in print. They have come to the conclusion that if men are wor thy of their hire they ought to share the spoils, and not be asked to work for love when great, husky fellows are paid at the rate of $5 a day for canvassing their districts. In fact the women are divided into more tactions man tne men, and are out on the warpath for the delegates who slighted them by failing to nomi nate a woman for county superintend ent of schools. One of the local papers, referring to the situation, boldly expressed itself on the suffrage question as follows: "The party has the benefit of twMng rid of a number of women this time who are not Republicans at heart, and who do much harm to any ticket they are connec ted with. Their places have been tilled with women who have the respect of the community where they live, and that is a great deal in the campaign." This insult provoked a retort from the ladies, defending their revolt in the following card: "Whatever of benetit may have been accomplished in the past in local affairs under the banner of the Civic federation, it is now appar ent that nothing can be expected from what remains of that organization at the present time, as it has come under the domination of one or two politi cians who have nothing in common with the objects the federation was organized to promulgate. Through these influences it has retrograded, and has no individuality of its own." FROM MESQLITE BEANS. Problem of Converting the Wild Growth Into Oil Solved. San Antonio, Tex., Oct. 26. The prob lem of how to utilize the vast quantities of mesquite beans that grow on the prairies of western Texas has, it is believed, been solved. Numerous ex periments at converting the bean into a marketable commodity have been made in recent years, but have been productive of no permanent results. A. J. Conley, manager of the Luling cotton oil mill, believes he has solved the prob lem. He had gathered a ton of mes quite beans and treated in the same manner as cotton seed. From the ton of beans he secured sixteen and one half gallons of clear, amber-colored oil, very rich and with a very pleasant, aromatic smell. The cake is dark brown, quite oily and is eaten greedily by stock. It is a well-known fact that stock fat ten rapidly on the beans, and that the year when the crop is a heavy one is always a prosperous one for stockmen. This year the beans are very plentiful, thousands of tons of them falling from the trees and rotting. If they could be saved in the shape of oil cake there would be almost enough to carry stock through the winter. TALKS TO BRIDE BY SIGNS. White Man Married Indian Squaw and Doesn't Speak Her Language. Denison, Tex., Oct. 26. Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Watts, of theTalihino district, Choctaw nation, were guests in the city today. The bridegroom is a white man, a graduate of Union College, New York. His parents, who reside near Kinder hook. N. Y.,are prominent and wealthy. The bride is a full-blooded Choctaw, who does not understand a word of English. Her maiden name is Sallie Roebuck. The courtship was carried on by signs, as the groom does not speak Choctaw. Attended "Bed Blass." London, Oct. 26. For the first time since the Reformation the opening of the law courts today was initiated by a spe cial service in Westminster abbey, which was attended by the bench and bar, all wearing their robes. The lord chancellor. Lord Halsbury, afterwards held a recep tion of the judges and barristers. The Catholic judge and baristers attended "red mass" at the Sardinia chapel. The cause lists show a marked increase of all de scriptions. G. A. Van Hall, the leading Druggist of Butler. Mo., writes: "We are hav ing splendid success with Beggs Blood Purifier and Blood Maker. It is one of the best seners we ever had and gives satisfaction to all who have tried it. We take pleasure in recommending it. At druggists. RIDE ON A LILY LEAF. Plant With Leaves 20 Feet in Cir cumference Serves as a Boat. St. Louis, Oct. 26. A green leaf, no thicker than ordinary card board, float ing on water five feet deep and bearing the weight of a 217 pound woman. This was witnessed at Tower Grove park yesterday, when Superintendent James Gurney sought to determine the carrying capacity of the leaves of the Nymphaea Victoria Regia, more com monly known as the Royal Water Lily. The leaves of this remarkable plant spring from a mammoth parent stalk growing in water. They are attached to the stalk by a growth resembling an ordinary rope. This cable is several feet in length, allowing the leaf lati tude in which to itoat about. The rope which holds it to the central stalk is under water far enough to be invisible, except on close inspection. The parent growth is also submerged, except a small bit of its top. An average leaf of this species is IS or 20 feet in cir cumference and perfectly round. The outer edges turn upward, forming a rim, which makes a basin-like interior. The rope or cable through which the leaf draws its sustenance from the par ent growth which is stationary, at taches itself to the leaf in the center on the under side. There is no other sup port and the leaf moves about on the water. The cable is of no value as a support to keep the leaf from sinking under a load, because it is not more than an inch in diameter and is so slack that it dangles in the water. Adventurous people who like to take the risk of standing on the leaves of the pretty lily walk out into the pond on boards which are laid for that pur pose. A circular frame is laid upon the leaf, fitting snugiy inside of the rim. This frame is covered underneath with soft cloth to prevent bruising the tender leaf. Thus arranged, a man or woman steps into the basin. The leaf moves about, the motive power being furnished by the swaying of the pas senger's body. "1 want to find a heavy person to make the test," said Superintendent Gurney. "I suppose 1 will get the park policeman. He weighs 198 pounds." The ofiicer was called, but before he reached the pond w here the lilies grow a fat man of middle age strolled along. A little persuasion and he agreed to make the novel voyage. "Fix the ship for navigation," said Superintendent Gurney to Philip, the gardener. Philip hastened to supply the frame work and the fat man walked the gang plank and stepped upon one of the big leaves. "I weigh 212 pounds," he said, "and this is rather dangerous, I fear, yet I will try it." Once aboard the unique craft, the man of ponderous weight felt as much at ease as if standing on the lower deck of the biggest boat that ever plied the Mississippi. The fat man, who refused to reveal his identity, had hardly regained terra firma when along came a woman, even more corpulent than he. "I saw that kind of lily in Rome this summer, when I was making a tour of the old world," the woman said, "and I would like to stand on one of those leaves. Over in Rome they were afraid to let me try it." "How much do you weigh?" inquired Superintendent Gurney. "Two hundred and seventeen pounds." "Well, I hardly know about that. You will not get nervous, will you?" "What! A woman like me get nerv ous? Why, sir, I can swim as well as any athlete in this city. If you are willing to take chances on your lily be ing smashed. I will assume all risk so far as I am concerned." Enough said. The superintendent knew his lily well enough to have faith in its ability to take care of itself. The gang plank swayed and squeaked un der the woman's weight, and it wasn't a frail plank, either. She walked out on the plank to the leaf that had been equipped with the frame work. Cautiously she placed one foot, then the other, on the leaf. Then with arms akimbo the woman of ilesh sailed away as jolly as any tar. She went as far as the cable would permit, then when her body swayed by the sudden stop, she sailed back to the starting point. The crowd that wit nessed the exhibition said it was won derful. The fat woman was accompa nied by a boy well along in his teens. He followed his mother on the leaf. Several other spectators tried the ex periment. "I believe that leaf would bear up 3")0 pounds," said the superintendent after he had seen the graceful voyage of the fut woman. "How can it be possible for 200 pounds to be held up that way?" was a fre quent question. It is not because of thickness, for the leaves are not thick. It is not because of durability of texture, for the leaves are so fragile that a child could poke its finger through them. An examination of the under side re veals the secret. Each leaf is a net work of ceils, somewhat like honey comb, only the compartments are larg er. On a leaf of average size these cells are about two inches square In di mension. The air gathers in these re ceptacles, giving floating buoyancy. HARVARD'S UNDERTAKING. A French Play to be Performed by Students and Graduates. Cambridge, Mass., Oct. 26.

It is believed here that in view of the great promi nence Alaska has achieved owing to the recent gold discoveries and the im portance of definitely fixing the bound ary line between the territory and that of the dominion of Canada, that the senate, when it assembles in December will take early action upon the treaty pending between Great Britain and the United States for the survey and mark ing of the 141st meridian. This treaty was sent to the senate almost two years ago. The 141st meridian marks the east ern boundary of Alaska down to within ten marine leagues of the southern coast where the line tends to the south east keeping that distance from the coast. Concerning the 141st meridian, there is, of course, no controversy be tween the United States and Great Brit ain, but no basis of settlement of the southern line has yet been reached by the two countries. The original treaty as sent to the senate, it is understood, was amended or proposed to be amended by Senator Stewart so as to include, the settlement of the dispute relating, to the southeastern line. If such an amendment were insisted upon by the senate as appears not unlikely will be the case it is not at all certain that Great Britain will agree to the modifi cation. The work of adjusting the dif ferences between the two countries re garding the southeastern line has not progressed Tor two years. In lSti)3 each government appointed a commissioner to survey the territory through which this line runs and each made typographical maps of the coun try, which were submitted to the re spective governments December 31, 1S95. These commissioners, however, had no power to propose settlement as their work was confined strictly to fur nishing information upon which sub sequent negotiations could proceed. As no range of mountains runs along the coast as was assumed to be the case when the boundary line between Rus sia and Canada was fixed in terms, the alternative proposition of a line of ten marine leagues from the coast must mark the limit of our territory. But in the determination many intricate questions are involved: whether the coast line shall be assumed to follow the sinuosities of the shore or run from headland to headland; or, whether the line shall be considered to run ten ma rine leagues from the outer shore of the islands which form a sort of arch ipelago along the coast. The govern ment commissioners of the country who studied the question are confident that our title includes the islands and ten marine leagues of territory from the coast line with all its sinuosities. NANSEN SOUVENIRS On Exhibition in New York First Lecture November 6. New York, Oct. 26. Some of Dr. Nan sen's souvenirs have arrived in this city before him and are now in one of the private parlors of the Hotel Savoy. The lot is one of considerable interest and includes several of the articles iised by Dr. Nansen on his famous canoeing and sledging trip, when he' left the good ship Fram stuck in the ice and proceeded further north. The largest of the lot is the bamboo frame canoe that was made bv Dr. Nansen on the Fram and which he used in his trip, together with the sledge, snow shoes, tent poles, over shoes made of bearskin by the explorer, and a harness likewise made from the skin of a walrus. With this Dr. Nan sen used to pull the sladge and canoe over the ice fields. Among the other articles to be seen is a model of the Fram made by Colin Archer, the builder of the Fram. There are also a number of printed photo graphs taken by Dr. Nansen and his men and which give new views of the great explorer in his working clothes. The exhibition will continue for some time and Richard Heard, who has it in charge will be happy to have those see it who are interested and they should be many. Ir. Nansen's first New York, lecture will be given in the Metropolitan Opera House on November 6. HOIST BY DYNAMITE. A Workman Standing Over the Blast is Lifted Fully 40 Feet. New York, Oct. 26. Nobody ever got off a burning deck quicker than did a workman who stood on the planks bridging a big hole on Thirty-third street, just east of Broadway today. Somebody touched off a charge of dy namite in the hole beneath, and with a "Let her go," there was a roar and a crash, and the bridge, platform and workman went flying through the air, broken fragments of the rail playing an anvil chorus on the ribs of the astonish ed laborer. What goes up must come down, and in due course of time the shower of lumber and stones was over. Every thing came back except the workman. When the dust had cleared away the workman was seen clinging to the arm of a derrick that was swung over the hole, 40 feet from the ground. A wild yell went up to know if he was hurt. The workman only shook his head and gathered his tattered clothing about him. He came down the derrick rope hand over hand and fell into the arms of a white faced contractor. A STATE WATERWORKS. Frankfort Penitentiary Managers Ob l jectto $7,000 Increase in Kent. Frankfort, Ky., Oct. 26.

He Wants MarySanders Winter's Suit Thrown Out of Court. Washington, Oct. 26. Richard Mans field, the actor, through his attorneys, Messrs. Phillips and McKenney, filed in the court of appeals yesterday a peti tion for a writ of mandamus against the chief justice and associate justices of the district supreme court to compel them to strike from the files of the dis trict supreme court the amended de claration recently filed by Mary San ders Winter and her husband, Percy Winter, to vacate the order of the low er court permitting the amended dec laration to be filed and to dismiss the suit for want of jurisdiction. It will be remembered that Mrs. Win ter sued Mansfield for the sum of $1,300 alleged to be due under a contract she claims to have made with Mansfield for a theatrical engagement.lt was claim ed that Mansfield broke the original agreement, but subsequently agreed to pay her $50 a month during the period of the contract. It was claimed that Mansfield defaulted in the monthly payments, when suit was brought for the entire amount of the contract, and a verdict was given Mrs. Winter for the full amount claimed, $1,300. The court of appeals, to which tribunal Actor Mansfield resorted, reversed the action of the lower court upon the ground that at the time the suit was brought there was only a portion of the amount due, and that Mrs. Winter could only recover judgment for that amount. On the 18th of last month, through her attorneys, Mrs. Winter secured per mission to file an amended declaration, when she asked for judgment for $1,300, the term of alleged contract having ex pired. It is contended by Mr. Manfield's at torneys that the action of the court of appeals in reversing the judgment of the lower court finally determined the case, leaving the district supreme court without authority to permit the filing of an amended declaration, as was done.

WHISKY BREATH 1NSCH00L Greenwich Principal Found That it Came From Candy. Greenwich, Conn., Oct. 26. The pres ence of brandy drops among the pupils of the Havemeyer public school has caused consternation among the teach ers. About a year ago the brandy drop habit broke out in the same schtiol and was with dirM-culty suppressed. The drops look like chocolate cream drops, but contain instead of cream about five drops of whisky in a sugar lining.About a week ago the teachers in the higher grades noticed a peculiar odor in the air. Principal Hobart was informed and soon discovered the cause. Many of the pupils came to school eating candy, and some left the grounds at recess to get another supply. As J. result several pounds were confiscated. An effort will be made to stop the sale of the can dies. LAUNDRY WAR AT MUNCIE. Labor TJnionsBoycott a Chinaman and Get a Fight. Muncie, Ind., Oct. 26.

TO HADES A Revivalist Prays That Two Young Women May Die and Go to HelL Richmond, Va., Oct. 26. The Rev. T. H. Leavitt. a North Carolina evange list, who is conducting a revival in a church here, last night saw two young women smiling during service. Walk ing down the aisle, to where they were he knelt and prayed that they would die immediately and go to hell. The Rev. S. C. Hatcher, who was present and who has attended the revivals, straightway left the church. When he was asked why he left the church he is said to have replied: "I think it my duty to pray people out of hell, not to pray them in." CUDAHY'S BIG DEAL.

An Unfortunate Man Burning Up With Fe?er, Found Lying Unconscious Near the llock Island Depot. II ad Just Come From Oklaho ma Suffering With Malaria. Herman Patterson, an employe of the Armour Packing company of Kansas City, arrivecj in Topeka from Oklahoma territory ill with malarial fever and heart trouble and in attempting to walk from the Rock Island depot, fell in the street on Jackson street be tween First and Second streets where he lay for an hour suffering intense pain and too weak to arise. He had gone to Oklahonra. four weeks ago to comply with the law regarding home steads, owning a claim there, and being required to be on the claim at least once every six months. While in Oklahoma he was taken ill with malaria and started for his home in Kansas City. Arriving in Topeka on the Rock Island, the raging fever was too much, even for his strong sys tem and he staggered off the train in hopes of seeing some one who would summon medical aid for him. Being practically without money and knowing no one in Topeka Herman Patterson started up town in the hopes of finding a policeman, but before he had gone a block lie fell prostrate upon the side walk. He says he lay there about half an hour, but upon investigation it was found that he must have been there fully an hour and perhaps more. It was late in the afternoon and soon darkness came on. No one saw the suffering man, or if they did, took him for a drunk, and he lay half conscious. Several times he tried to arise, but each time he was so weak that he fell back exhausted. lie says the throbbing at his fore head made it seem to him that at the next moment the arteries would burst and blow off the top of his head. The high lever blinded his eyes and made his brain whirl. His mouth gaped open and was hot and dry, while his hands and feet were cold. Finally as the darkness crept upon him and he realized that unless he could get nearer help he would perish, he summoned all the muscular force in his system and arose, staggering almost off his bal ance and grasped a friendly fence. Again he wavered, and again he braced himself for another effort. Finally he crept along and got farther on the street, v hen Patrolman Pavey, who lives near there, found him. Had Patrolman Pavey been a new policeman, he might have grabbed him and marched him to the police station thinking he was a drunken man. But the officer has had experience enough which enabled him to tell the difference between a drunkard and a sick man. Patrolman Pavey immediately called the patrol wagon. The man after meeting the officer and telling him the simple sentence: "I am sick. Help me to a doctor, will you please?" fell again to the sidewalk. He lapsed into a semi-conscious state from which it was difficult to arouse him. The patrol wagon arrived and the sick man was put on a spring stretcher, and taken to the Salvation Army hos pital. Upon arriving at the hospital the pa tient was given the closest attention, for it was feared he would die. His temperature was a trifle over 104 de grees while his pulse was very low. Hypodermic injections were given him to stimulate the heart and efforts made to reduce the high temperature. After awhile the desired result was apparent. The patient lay unconscious of all about him but seeming not to suffer much pain. Finally he regained con sciousness and was able to tell his sto ry. He said: "I work for the Armour Packing company at Kansas City. I have a claim down in Oklahoma and I went down there to be on it at the time th" law requires people to be there. We have to be on the claim once every six months. I went there and started back. I had been sick for three weeks with this fever but managed to get around. When I got to Topeka I was so sick that I couldn't hold up my head and I got off, hoping to meet a police man to get him to take me to some place where I could get some medicine. When I started up town I fell down near the Rock Island depot and I lay there over half an hour, and then when I was able I got un. I came up a little farther and met the policeman. I have my job vet with Armour. I worked around the cars. I came to this coun try when I was seven years old. I am not married, and was never sick a dav In my life before this time." Herman Patterson is 27 years of age. He speaks with an accent indicative of foreign birth. He is much better now and his recovery Is assured. CHICAGO TO DEN VER 10. Migratory Italians Causa Demoraliza tion of Rates. Chicago, Oct 26. Italian laborers who are leaving points in the north and northwest for warmer places in which to work during the winter are responsi ble for a serious demoralization in rates between St. Paul and Chicago and be tween Chicago and Denver. The rates now in effect between St. Paul and Chi cago run anywhere from $3.50 to $6, the agreed rate being $8.05. From Chicago to Denver the Italians have also demoralized rates. The com petition has been so keen for this busi ness, that, although the regular rate is $29.50. the roads are, when necessary, taking the business at a cut of $19.50. Chairman Caldwell has notified all in terested roads that a lower rate than the regular tariff should not be made, but for all that all the Italians who wish can go rrom Chicago to Denver for $10.

All Other "Boonis" Then to Be Pushed Aside. It is Possible That it Will bo Burton Pitted Against Hessin. J. R. Burton for governor! There is no use to get excited about this announcement, for it will do no good. The friends of Mr. Burton are laying the plans right now to make him the Re publican candidate for governor next year. Understand, it is not the plan for the Burton combination to spring" him on an unsuspecting people right away far from it. The Burton boom is not to bloom until early next spring, because if it did it might waste its sweetness on the desert air. The scheme, as the State Journal gets it, is to coddle, fool with and nurse the booms of Chester Long, John Seaton, Jack Harris, Jim Troutman and John Hessin through the fall and winter months, and thus wear them out. While this process of wearing out pro ceeds, the star actor is to make his ap pearance in Ohio (sharing Kansas honors with Abe Steinberger) and make a few "speeches of his life" for Mark Hanna. The opening gun of the Burton campaign was fired at the Marquette club banquet at Chicago. It is needless to state that Cy Leland, Lit Crum, Jim Simpson, Mort Albaugh and Frank Brown are behind the Burton boom. The average schoolboy would guess that as soon as he heard of the proposed candidacy. The morning paper is, of course, in on the ground floor, and when the Burton boom gets ripe will, presumably, announce it to a waiting world. Several newspapers, among them the Lawrence World, have declared for Burton, or intimated two or three weeks ago that he would make a model gov ernor, but these papers have been dis ciplined, and upon the Burton candidacy are as silent as the grave. There are two or three reasons why the Leland-Simpson-Crum syndicate would like to have Burton in the governor's of fice. The principle one is that Burton is one of them and would deliver goods as per requisition. During the past three months Jno. E. Hessin, who lives at Man hattan, has been nursing a very promis ing boom for governor. It has caused no end of fear and trembling among the members of the Leland syndicate. Sen ator Hessin is a new man in the politics of Kansas, and as a cry for new candi dates is going up from White Cloud to Richfield, and from Baxter Springs to St. Francis, he is naturally regarded as available timber. The nomination and election of such a man as Senator Hessin would end the Leland dynasty. He might not make any better governor than any of the others mentioned, but he would surround himself with a new junta and new ma chine, which, although odious, could not possibly be worse than the Leland-Simpson-Crum combination, who would sur render their eye teeth to get possession of the state government again. The truth may as well be told now as later. The Republican party Is going to be divided into two strong factions. Le land will be the boss and ringleader of one, and United States Senator Baker will be at the head of the other. Such condition is inevitable. Baker has at last discovered that if he expects to suc ceed himself he must put his friends on guard arid organize and capture the ma chinery of the party. This he is seeking to do, and it is the most natural thing that he would join in the movement to nominate Hessin for governor. The sen ator's most trusted friends are the prime movers in the Hessin boom. Senator Sterne of this city Is chief among them. The ink on the Copeland hotel register, where Senator Baker wrote his name last Friday evening, had not dried when Sen ator Hessin walked in to spend the even inr. Things are working for a real lively state convention next year, when Cy and Baker will measure swords over the nom ination of a state ticket, and the proba bility now is that Burton and Hessin, both of the Fifth district, will be backed by the two factions for the nomination for governor. 4 BELIEVERS IN BAKER. Mr. Bcatss Expects Confirmation When Congress Meets. Thomas A. Scates of Liberal, whose de feat for receiver of the Dodge City Unit ed States land office is sought by Cyrus Leland, is in the city today on private business, accompanying M. W. Sutton of Dodge City. Mr. Scates and Mr. Sterne of Topeka are the men whom Senator Baker has recommended for positions that Leland wants for his friends, but Senator Baker informed Mr. Leland in the course of their interview at the Copeland last Fri day night that he would stand by these two men until the last and they are con fident that they will be confirmed when congress assembles. Mr. Scates said today: "I have heard little about the opposition to my con firmation, but I believe Senator Baker will do what he thinks for the best in terests of the party in this matter. The people of the western part of the state are well pleased with Mr. Baker's record thus far and there is, so far as I have been able to discover, not the slightest disposition among them to waver in giv ing him unqualified support. I believe that I will secure the position for which I have been recommended by Mr. Baker." THE NEW LIBRARIAN. C. A. Johnson's Prospects for the Place Seem Good. The term of James L. King as state librarian, expires next March, and al ready there is a list of nearly 40 appli cants for the place, which will be filled by a Populist, who will be elected by a majority of the supreme court, which is now composed of Chief Justice Doster and Associate Justice Allen. Associate Justice Johnston's vote as a Republican having no influence in the decision of this matter. The man for whom the biggest fight has been made, quietly, for months. anc1 the one who is confident of securing the appointment, is C. A. Johnson, at pres ent a bond clerk in the office of the state auditor. Mr. Johnson's strongest I backers are Dr. R. W. Pilcher, superin tendent of the V infield imbecile asy lum, and Senator 1 P. King, of Cowley county, who is Mr. Johnson's uncle. Added to the influence which they personally possess, the men who are pushing Johnson, as well as himself, have secured from members of the leg islature, state officers, congressmen and other Populists of prominence in the state, recommendations urging the ap pointment of Johnson to the position. Mr. King's relationship to Johnson is not the only reason why he is so act ive in his support for this position. Mr. Johnson managed King's campaign for governor before the Abilene convention last year, and during the session of the legislature occupied the same import ant position during the time Mr. King was a candidate for United States sen ator. In the event of a nomination and elec tion as governor coming to Mr. King, Johnson would have been his private secretary. Had Mr. King gone to the United States senate, Johnson would have been his private secretary in Washington. Mr. Johnson's home is in Cowley county and the Populists of that county are rallying to his support almost to a man. Senator King was in the city a few days ago and held a long conference with Judges Doster and Allen, calling upon each of them separately, and pre senting at length the claims of Mr. Johnson for the position of state librar ian. Whether or ant any pledges have been made is a question which re mains unanswered. WILL SUE MIAMI CO. Attorney General Will Attempt to Collect Delinquent Taxes. There is a controversy between the state auditor, state treasurer and near ly every county clerk in Kansas as to the accounts for state taxes, the county officials disputing the claims made by the state officers. The counties claim credits of various amounts to offset the claims against them on delinquent state taxes, assert ing that on account of double and er- roneous assessments, in many lnstan cos. the accounts are about even.where j as the records at the state house show I delinquencies in lare-e amounts, the to tal amounting to $350,000. To arrive at a solution of the problem the attorney general will bring a suit to recover the delinquent taxes from Mi ami county and secure a decision of the court upon the points of difference, dis posing of the entire controversy through this test case.

G. W. Stansfield, 6 Kan sas avenue. LJ When a female gymnast leaps blindfold through the air, the women spectators usu ally think it is a terribly risky thing to do, and wonder how she ever has the hardihood yet the leap is taken with perfect confidence be cause she knows that strong and dextrous hands are ready to re ceive her. She would never take snch chances at the hands of any but a trained and skillful ath lete. That is where she is really more pru dent than many of her sex. Women who would shudder at the risk3 of a gymnastic performance take vastly more dangerous chances by trusting their life and health to the advice of some incom petent, uneducated person, when they are suffering from weakness or disease. Only a skilled, experienced physician is competent to prescribe remedies for the complicated ailments of the feminine or ganism. No mere nurse is fitted to deal with diseases which demand the utmost resources of medical science. For nearly 30 years Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting physician of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo, N. Y., has given special, expert attention and study to the treatment of women's diseases. No physician' in the United States has had more remarkable success in this particular field of practice. His Favorite Prescription has cured more cases of obstinate female diseases than any other known remedy. No other medi cine in the world so completely restores organic health and strength to" suffering women. Btrs. Jacob Schaffner, of Freeraansbtirg, North ampton Co..

I was troubled with female weakness; had pains in my hack all the time, sometimes so severe that I could not lie still in bed at nisrht. I tried different doctors but they could not help me.

Elliott, 728 KANSAS AVE. BUTTWO MINUTES V A Year is All That John Ansel Will Work. All People Should Be Put in Jail Who Won't Talk Sense at Least a Part of the l'ear. This morning, sometime after midnight, a tali, slim man, wearing shabby clothes j and having a rough, unkempt beard and I staring blue eyes, and moving at a sham bling walk, was found near Tenth and Madison streets wandering aimlessly about. People in the neighborhood who were up were greatly frightened by the man's presence. Some who had returned late at night saw him, and when they aproached he ran away from them as If in terror. At one house on Jefferson street south of Eleventh street he walked into the front yard and groped about the porch. He was frightened away. Com plaints were made to police headquarters and Sergeant Owen went in search of the lunatic. He found him at 3:15 o'clock this morning near Tenth and Jefferson streets. When he saw the officer com ing he tried to escape, but the sergeant stopped him and took him to the police station. It was John Ansel. He is a man 30 years of age and lives on East Tenth street near the Crosby mills. He lives at home with his parents. Two weeks ago he was released from the Bed well insane asylum, where he had been kept for several months. Although he is considered harmless, he is said to be dan gerous when he becomes excited. At the city jail he said: "I got lost last night and I couldn't get home. When I was a few years younger than Grover Cleveland I shot a shotgun and it kicked and broke my collar bone. I thought I would die from it. I was shooting at ducks, but I didn't kill them. I have been sick a long time; that's the reason my whiskers are so fine. I'm a farmer by trade, but I don't work much. This land was made to enjoy life in, and I don't expect to work more than two or three minutes a year. If they insist on my working I'll just go to Governor Leedy and make him give me an order on these people. If he don't give it to me he will wish he had. Sometimes my head hurts me and then I feel like I want to do something big. But, say, it's an awful thing to get lost. Why, if I had my way I would have everyone put in jail who re fused to talk sense at least a part of the time. If I ever get lost again, I be lieve I will just kill myself or do some thing big. I'm a queer fellow, and I do queer things sometimes. Sometime you will hear about me doing something big, and then you will remember that I was the fellow who got lost last night." John Ansel held one hand close to his left cheek when he talked and his face bore an expression of earnestness which was occasionally changed by a smile. When stating his determination to "do something big" he grasped the steel bars of the jail door convulsively and swayed backward and forward. He will be tried in probate court for his sanity and an effort will be made to get him into the Topeka insane asylum. He is not considered a tit person to be at large. DEPEW IS INDIGNANT. N. Y. Central Charged With Knowing the Track's Bad Condition at Garrison. New York, Oct. 26. President Chaun cey M. Depew of the New York Central said today concerning a statement pub lished in an afternoon paper to the ef fect that the company had for some time been watching the place where the wreck occurred Sunday morning, well knowing its danger: "That is so absurd that I hardly care to make any report. We run the New York Central to make money. We ride over it almost every day. Now. does it seem likely that we are knowingly risking our own lives? The only way we can make money out of the road is to make it safer than any other, and we spare no expense to do this. I have wired the state railroad commissioners asking them to come at once, while the matter is fresh, and make a thorough investigation. One of the commission ers was at the scene of the wrv-k Sun day, but I want to get all of them there." Tried for Runnine a Joint. Amos Morris was tried in Justice Mc Clintock's court yesterday afternoon on the charge of running a joint in the basement of Frank Long's restaurant. He pleaded not guilty. Burdge McFall and F. S.

Lucas, who made the arrest, testified that when he searched the place there was no beer in sight and that the room was locked. Morris and two of the waiters testified that no beer was sold there. Judge McClintock took the case under advisement and will render a de cision tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock. Rheumatism Cured in a Day.
