(lC"iv it n It Mr TWO CENTS. TUESDAY EVENING. TOPEKA, KANSAS, NOVEMBER 2. 1897. TUESDAY EVENING. TWO CENTS. ALL CLAIM IT. Every One of tlie Greater New York Managers Claims the City Election for Ilis Candidate. THE TOTING WAS FAST One-Third of the Vote Cast By 8 A. M. It is Expected 520,000 Votes Will Be Cast. Now York. Nov. 2. The first mayor of Greater New York, will be elected to day. For bitterness, complex situations and uncertainty the campaign has nev er been excelled in national or munici pal elections. The dramatic death and funeral of Henry George. the nominee of the 'Democracy of Thomas Jefferson." and author of "Progress and Poverty," on the eve of the election, an unpre cedented event in the political history of the country, if not of the world, and the selection of his son Henry as his political heir, may in case the unexpect ed happens, because of sympathetic and sentimental considerations, have an effect upon the general results. It is difficult if not impossible, to make any estimate in this regard, be cause of the absolute lack of prece dents similar in character. The aver age man. however, appears to be of the opinion that the votes which would have been cast for the late leader of the Democracy of Thomas Jefferson, will be scattered among the candidates under the existing conditions in a manner which while they may alter the totals received by the various nom inees, will not affect the positions of the leaders at the conclusion of this municipal race. With- the dawn of day came prepara tions for the opening of the polls. The skies were dark and lowering, the fali ing rain presaged a long and disagreea ble day for the workers at the polls. Political leaders early commenced the struggle for the control of the second greatest city in the. world for the priv ileges involved in the expenditures of perhaps $300,000,000 during the next four years, for the patronage involved in the appointment of at least 35,000 men to places under the next municip al government. There is a weather tradition attach ed to New York state politics which is believed by many to hold good in this municipal struggle. Fair weather is called ''Republican weather," while rainy weather, "Demo cratic." A full vote will mean proba bly 529,000. and this estimate is arrived at by taking the total registration 568,568 and deducting therefrom the usual 7 per cent allowance for defective ballots, stay-at-homes and non-voters for other causes. Out of the tangle of alleged "deals and splits and straddles and with drawals" have been drawn into align ment four prominent political parties with the following as their mayoral standard bearers: Democratic (Tammany) Robert A. Van Wyck. National Democratic and Citizens' "Union Seth Low. Republican Benjamin F. Tracy. The Democracy of Thomas Jefferson Henry George, Jr. Patrick Jerome Gleason, the present mayor of Long Island City, is running as an independent candidate and may poll 10.000. The official ballots show that there are three other candidates for mayoralty honors Lucien Saniel. who heads the socialist labor party and who will possibly receive 8.000 votes; Wm. T. Wardwell. the leader of the Prohibitionists, who is not expected to poll more than 5.000 votes at the max imum and Alfred B. Cruikshank, less than 1.000 votes. The scattering total therefore, for Gleason, Saniel, "Wardwell and Cruik shank would be 24.000. which, deducted from the estimated number of votes that will be cast, would leave about ."05,000 to be divided among the candi dates Van Wyck, Tracy, George and Low. If the above calculation is accu rate, and if the candidates "break even," the man who receives over 126. 250 votes, will be the first mayor of Greater New York. The ante-election "claims" of the chairmen of the four leading campaign committees are as follows: Democrat ic estimates gives Van Wyck a major ity over all other candidates combined of 20.000 and plurality over Low, the the next highest of 130.000. Republic an estimates give Track a plurality of 75, 000; Citizens' I'nion estimate gives Low a plurality of 13.000; George estimate gives George a plurality of fi5.000. There are 1.520 election districts and of course, as many polling places in Greater New York divided as follows: Boroughs of Manhattan and the Bronx 883: borough of Brooklyn 516: borough of Queens 76; borough of Richmond 47. To reach a total of 529.000. an average of nearly .350 votes for each district must be attained. In 1S96. the total vote in the same territory was 536.254. Rain which fell more or less per sistently throughout the forenoon, has had little effect to restrain the voters of Greater New York, from giving ex pression to their preferences for city and borough officials. The polls opened at 6 o'clock and within two hours a good third of the votes had been polled in the residential sections of New York and Brooklyn. From that time for ward, the polling proceeded a little less rapidly, though still with enough ani mation to keep the clerks of election from gossiping so that there was at noon, but a small fraction of the reg istered vote remaining uncast. In the suburban precincts, the voting was a little behind. It cost $2,000 to vote four of the seven registered men residing in Central park today. These four men voted at lloth street and Eighth avenue where a special booth had been built for the in spectors, ballot clerks and police had to be furnished for the four voters. The men live in McCowan's Pass tav ern. By 9:30 o'clock all had voted and the inspectors and ballot clerks were free to discuss politics, or anything else, until sundown, but the booths must be kept open in accordance with the law, until 5 o'clock. The other voters in the park were named Conway and his two sons who live at the Sheep Fold and vote at Eighth avenue and 56th street, where there is a big district. WHAT TO EXPECT. Returns From New York Will be Slow and Possibly Unsatisfactory. New York. Nov. 2. The Herald says: The gathering of the election returns to night will be complicated by the large number of tickets in the field and the multiplicity of candidates to be voted for. The size of the ballot and the probability that many mistakes in marking will be made will render the task of getting at the result still more difficult. The special election law for Greater New York makes the police board of the present city the board of canvassers of the vote. The returns from the entire territory included in the new city will be sent to the bureau of elections at police headquarters. The first news received will probably tome from the downtown districts, where Tammany's strength is greatest. The early returns, therefore, will very likely show that Van Wyck is in the lead. The comparative strength of Low and Tracy in these districts, however, will be of im portance. Mr. Low's friends believe that he will receive many votes from the tene ment house districts, and particularly from the densely populated Hebrew dis tricts of the lower Bast side. The Italian vote will probably be divided between General Tracy and Judge Van Wyck. The early returns should also give a de cisive indication of the strength of Henry George. Jr. If he is strong anywhere it is among the dock laborers along the water front of the East and North rivers. There his friends have held hundreds of meetings. Should the Tammany vote in the lower part of the city equal the vote in the same districts last year, it will show that George's total vote will be com paratively small. The residence districts uptown will next be heard from. The returns should show at a glance whether there is any basis for the claim of the Republican leaders that General Tracy will poll the Republican vote. His strength, if he has any, will be shown in these returns. On the other hand, if Low's vote approaches the claims made by his managers in these districts a landslide in his favor is assured. The decisive test of Low's strength. how ever, will come from Brooklyn. News from that borough will begin to come in soon after the uptown districts have been heard from. I'nless Low runs well ahead of Tracy and Van Wyck in Brooklyn the calculations of those in charge of his campaign will be proved erroneous. Should the contest be close, the returns from the boroughs of Queens and Rich mond may be needed to settle it. These will come last, and there may be a long wait before complete and corrected figures can be obtained. LANDSLIDE MAY SAVE LOW. That is the View Held by the British Correspondent. London, Nov. 2. The New York cor respondents of the morning papere hes itate to predict results of today's mayoralty election in Greater New York. Mr. Smalley. the correspondent of the Times thinks the situation fa vorable to the success of Mr. Low. The Daily Chronicle's New York rep resentative hints, "Unless the unex pected happens Judge Van Wyck will be elected." The Daily News correspondent ex pects Mr. Low to win and on the other hand the correspondent of the Daily Telegraph believes Judge Van Wyck's election probable but admits that "a possibile landslide may elect Low." VAN WYCK. VOTED EARLY. RethLcw Sp2nt Two Minutes Prs paring His Ballot. "New York, Nov. 2. Robert A. Van Wyck, Democratic nominee for mayor, voted at 6:40 o'clock, casting ballot No. 19. He spent 30 seconds in the booth. There was no crowd at the polling place and there was no demonstration. It was nearly two hours later when Seth Low appeared at the place where he was registered. He spent two minutes in the booth. His coming and going were not marked by any demonstration. SHAW (REP.) BY 20,000. Such. 13 the Claim of the Iowa Re publicans. Des Moines. Ia., Nov. 2. At 2 o'clock between a third and a half of the vote of the state had been polled, but these estimates of the percentage are still low. Kighty per cent is said to be liberal. The hottest fiKht in the state is in Crawford county, the home of Shaw, the Republican candidate for governor. The Democratic committee of Crawford county issued a circular this morning warning the party workers to be on the lookout for crooked ness. The prediction of the Republicans of the election of Shaw by 20.000 is still adhered to. The gold Democrats are cutting a small figure, voting largely for Shaw. The middle-of-the-road Populists are hardly heard of. CLAIMING NEBRASKA. Fusionists Say They Have Carried it by 5,000. Omaha, Neb.. Nov. 2. At 2 o'clock the vote has progressed steadily, and has been fully two-thirds cast. State Chairman Dahlman, of the Democratic committee has come to Omaha, and is now claiming the state by 5.000 for the fusion ticket. Last night his estimate was 20,000. ALBANY DEMOCRATIC. Democrats Probably Elect Their May or in That City. Albany, N. Y., Nov. 2. 2:30 p. m. The indications are that votes in the districts outside of the cities have fal len off considerably and that the loss is mainly uron one side of the ticket. The Democrats will probably elect their mayor in this city. First Killing Frost "Killing frosts in this vicinity last night." is the information sent out to day by the government weather bureau at Kansas City, and Weather Observer Jennings in this city vouches for the correctness of the statement. There was a heavy frost throughout Kansas last night, the first "killing" frost of the season, and in Topeka the tempera ture fell as low as 25 degrees above. Mr. Jennings says that it was the latest date for the arrival of the first heavy frost in ten years. Fair and slightly warmer weather is predicted for Kansas tomorrow. At 2 o'clock this afternoon the temperature stood 64 de grees above, with a perfectly clear sky. SHEETS OF RAIN Falling in Ohio and All Over the East. Toting in Ohio Seems to Be Favorable to Democrats. 3111. HANNA'S FRIENDS Say That lie Will Undoubted ly Carry Cleveland. All the Interest Centers in tb.9 Legislative Ticket. Rain Causes Falling Off of 200, 000 in the Vote. Youngstown, O., Nov. 2. Weather clearing with promise of a nice day. Much interest manifested in legisla tive ticket. Mahoning county electing two representatives this year.The mill men were out in full force in the early morning hours and the total vote will be heavy. Akron, O., Nov. 2. Notwithstanding damp and'threatening weather a heavy morning vote was polled. Interest centers in the legislative contest. One Republican candidate for state senator is James R. Garfield, son of the late president, who has served one term and was renominated. Indications point to a heavy vote in city and county. Columbus, O., Nov. 2. Thepolls open ed with a heavy shower and cloudy sky and voting almost at the rate of one per minute. This information cov ers precincts in a dozen localities. There is a strong general interest. Men of each of the leading parties say tardy voters will appear later. Cincinnati, Nov. 2. The weather con tinues to be rainy with no prospect of clearing. The polls were opened promptly at 6 o'clock and in many pre cincts long lines were in ivaiting at that hour. But by eight o'clock the crowds were disposed of and voting was pro ceeding slowly with no manifestation of special interest in the way of bring ing out the vote. The law prohibits crowds assembling nearer than 100 feet of the voting places and beyond that limit there was no disposition to as semble in the pouring rain. With a se cret ballot and under the restrictions of the law. it is almost impossible to make any prediction of the tendency of voters. In some precincts well known Republicans were free to declare they would vote the fusion local ticket. It was a common remark that the weath er was favorable to the Democrats. The outlook at this hour is for less than a full vote. Cleveland, Nov. 2. The day in Cleve land opened in gloom. The rain is pouring steadily and during the early hours the vote was slow in coming out. Voting up to 9 o'clock was light. There was some scratching. The interest in the contest is not as keen as it was a year ago, by any means. There is some fight being made on Senator Hanna here, but his friends have no fear of the result in this county. Toledo, O., Nov. 2. Raining steadily but vote is getting out early. At eight o'clock one-third of the total vote was polled in most precincts. Columbus. O., Nov. 2. 11 A. M. Ei Mayor George J. Karb. the only person at Democratic state headquarters, says they have not received any news from over the state, but are'deeply interest ed in the heavy registered vote that is being polled in Columbus. At the gov ernor's office there is a lack of news from the state, but advices from var ious parts of the city, says the private secretary, J. L. Rodgers, indicate that half the registered vote of Columbus was cast by 9 a. m. Hon. George K. Nash, chairman of the Republican state central commit tee, says Republicans in Ohio are too busy voting and getting the vote out, to send him messages. His information from this city shows a heavy vote, not withstanding the rain of this morning. The sky is still very cloudy, but rain practically ceased late in the morning. Cleveland. Nov. 2. By noon in a ma jority of the precincts of the city two thirds of the vote has been cast. The election is a most peculiar one. in that a straight ballot is a rarity. Scratching is being done lavishly on both sides and open charges of factional treachery are being made by the Republicans. The rain prevents the formation of the us ual groups about the booths. The weather continues dismal and dreary and the rain is falling in a con stant drizzle. The indications through out the western reserve are that if the proportion continues throughout the state the vote will fall off by 200.000 over last year. The roads owing to a constant rain of 48 hours, are in bad condition and the farmers are reluc tant to come out to vote. This added to general apathy will make the vote remarkably light. It is impossible to foretell the benefit of this condition, but usually in Ohio a light vote is favorable to the Democratic cause. Columbus. O., Nov. 2 Noon Weath er being threatening at Warren showed indications of a light vote and a scram ble ensued to get the vote out. Governor Bushnell voted at Spring field at 8 a. m., and left for Columbus at 11:15 a. m. He estimates that the Republicans are voting better than the Democrats. Cincinnati. Nov. 2. At 12:30 p. m., reports from all parts of the city show that an unexpectedly large vote is be ing polled. It also appears from ex tended observations that voters are generally voting unscratched tickets and saying very little about their ac tion. Close observers say the result will be decisive one way or the other, but it is not possible, at this hour' to indicate whalj way the victory will go. M'KINLEY CASTS HIS VOTE. Took Him 1 1-3 Minutes to Mark His Ballot Canton. Nov. 2. At 10:10 President McKinley left his mother's home to vote. He was accompanied by George B. Frease, editor of the Repository. It was five blocks' walk to the Fulton street polling place, precinct C. First ward, which was in a carpenter shop. On the way Judge Ricks and his old neighbor, Judge Mc Carty. joined the president. He entered the precinct voting place at 10:20. "Wm. McKinley. 815 West Tuscarawas street. No. 164." read the clerk. The president was in the booth one minute and twenty seconds, put his cross on the blanket sheet with eight tickets by candle light, the curtain of the booth resting on his shoulder and within plain sight of the. crowd that, had gathered. Entering and leaving he returned the sal utations of all the election officers. After voting the president took a walk about some of the streets of his home city, doff ing his hat in reply to the salutations of people who made many manifestations of their love and admiration for their fel low citizen. NEBRASKA. Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 2. The weather is crisp and cool, but the day is fair and promises to be warm. Both Re publicans and silver men were astir early and desperate efforts will be made te overcome the apathy of the voters and get out a large poll. The chief interest in Nebraska is over the contest for supreme judge and Mr. Bryan has sent out word to his follow ers that a victory for the Republicans means a blow to bimetallism. Lincoln. Neb., Nov. 2. Few reports have come in to political headquarters from over the state. In a few of the larger towns outside of Lincoln and .Omaha, nearly an average vote is being polled, a majority of the ballots going in early. The blanket ballot is not caus ing the confusion expected, but it is feared by political managers that the count will be slow. Telegrams received by newspapers up to nearly the noon hour, indicate an entire absence of ex citement and interest lacking. IOWA. "Waterloo, la., Nov.- 2. Election day opened bright ana clear, promising ex ceptionally fine weather. There was very little interest during the campaign and the vote will probably be light. Oskaloosa, la., Nov. 2. The day is bright clear and cold. Much interest is manifested and a heavy vote will be polled. Local politics and an early clos ing of the polls is cousing an unusual turnout. Ottumwa, la., Nov. 2. The weather is fine, cold and crisp. A few voted early, but the workers say the general apathy so noticeable during the last days of the Campaign has been to a great extent overcome. They believe a full vote will be polled. Cedar Rapids, la., Nov. 2. The weather is bright and bracing and the voters are turning out in fair force. There is comparatively little interest, except as to the legislative ticket. Mason City. Ia., Nov. 2. The day is perfect, but little interest is shown in the election. The farmers are in their cornfields. Efforts will be made this afternoon to poll a full vote. Burlington, Ia., Nov 2. The day opened clear and cool with prospects of bright and warmer weather. Voting began early, and it Is thought the poll will be heavy. Interest in the state election is also very great. Des Moines, Ia., Nov. 2. It is a cool crisp morning a perfect autumn day. the temperature is low, frost covering everything. At 9 o'clock the vote is remarkably light, but 50 per cent polled, compared with last year. Some of the precincts show as high as 75 per cent, but there is no enthusiasm. Des Moines. Ia.. Nov. 2. The indica tions at noon point to the polling of about 80 per cent of the vote in the state. The contest is warm. At She nandoah, Cedar Rapids, Burlington, Davenport. Dubuque. Algon, Ottumwa, Fort Madison and Keokuk, the two hours allowed to vote are being ta ken advantage of at noon by the com mercial interests all over the state. COLORADO. Denver, Nov. 2. The weather is clear and cool, but the roads are so muddy in the city as well as in the country, on account of the heavy snow storm of a week ago, that many voters will not take the trouble to go to the polls. The small groups at the various polling places in the city when the polls opened at 7 o'clock this morning, were in marked contrast to the crowds in line last year and there is no doubt the vote will be much smaller than that of 1S96. The betting on the state ticket, consisting only of candidates for judge of the supreme court, is even as be tween Judge Charles D. Hayt (Rep.) and Wm. H. Gabbert (Pop. Dem.). Both are avowed silver men and both voted for Bryan last year, but it is be lieved many silver Republicans will vote for Gabbert because Hayt ac cepted a nomination at the hands of the administration republicans. Denver, Colo., Nov. 2. Up to noon no news has been received from the state at large to indicate whether Hayt or Gabbert is leading. Fine weather pre vails generally in Colorado, but there is no enthusiasm, and the vote will be light everywhere. The lack of interest is plainly shown by the fact that the registration in this (Arapahoe) county fell off from 65,000 in 1896 to 39.000. The women have taken but little interest in the campaign and probably not half of those voting last year will take the trouble to go to the polls today. KENTUCKY. Frankfort, Ky., Nov. 2. The weather is warm but cloudy and threatening. Rain has caused an overflow of brooks and in some parts of the country roaus are impassable. Louisville, Nov. 2. From all indica tions, a big vote will be polled in the municipal race today, notwithstanding it is raining steadily. The feeling is at fever heat and never perhaps in the history of the city have party lines been drawn so closely. The Republican nominee. Mayor George D. Todd, has only a portion of the city machinery in his ands, the police and fire depart ments being controlled by the Demo crats, and as every indication points to an exceedingly close race, the machin ery will count for a great deal. Charges of fraud are being freely made by the Republicans who claim the Democrats are making arrangement to capture the city by fair or foul means. In addition to the feeling be tween the two political parties, the contest is made all the more bitter from the fact that the A. P. A. is solid ly aligned for the Republican ticket, many of whom are members of that or der, and the Catholic vote equally as solidly for the Democratic ticket. Last year McKinley carried Louisville by over 12,000, but Mayor Todd carried it by only 4,500, falling away behind his ticket. Owensboro, Ky., Nov. 2. Voters went to the polls early, and voting is going on rapidly. Drizzling rain insures a large city vote. PENNSYLVANIA. Pittsburg. Pa.. Nov. 2. Election day opened bright and mild and a fair ear ly morning vote was polled. The vot ing was devoid of excitement s very little interest was manifested in the result. Philadelphia, Nov. 2. Rain has fallen almost continuously since yesterday morning. This had its effect and even a lighter vote was cast in the early hours than had been anticipated. The vote in the city will be light. It is ex pected, however, than an average off year vcte will be cast by the end of (Continued on Third Page,) L00KSCL0SE. Kepley Claiming First, Second and Fifth Wards. Cook Has Apparently Large Majorities in 3rd and 4th. VOTE HAS IJEEX LIGHT Up to an Early Hour This Aft ernoon, But is (Jrowing Much Heavier Hourly. KEPLEY SURE TO LOSE The Fourth Ward Which He Carried Before. Says He Will Have 800 Majori ity in the City. In nearly every precinct in the city up till noon the vote has been light. Even wfth the large number of teams out to haul voters to the polling places the result was not perceptible. In many of the precincts three or four vehicles with candidate's names upon them stood for hours at a time with nothing to do. The vote has been heavier in the Third Ward than anywhere else. Busi ness men voted on their way down town or stopped when they went home at noon and they did not wait for can didate's carriages. The almost perfect Kepley organiza tion is more, apparent than ever today. There was not a single polling place opened this morning that did not have at least two carriages driven by Kep ley supporters ready to go after pros pective Kepley voters. The Kepley forces have much the better of the teams. They have two to where the Cook forces have one. Nearly every hack in the city carries a card which say s VOTE FOR BOB KEPLEY. Carriages carry a simple card upon which is printed in large letters: PORTER S. COOK. Everywhere the ward workers are busy. In this particular the perfect Kepley organization again crops out. Not a single precinct is being neglect Men Who can be trusted are watching every point carefully. The Cook workers are in the minority but they are to be found. Sheriff Kepley is watching the Third precinct of the Third ward himself.This is the large colored precinct in which the registration is 654. Two years ago the total vote in the precinct was 328. This year it will probably be in the neighborhood of 500 and Sheriff Kepley is watching it because he hopes to car ry the precinct and off set Cook majori ties in other precincts in the ward. He said at noon that he hopes to make the vote in the Third ward a stand off. Opposed to Kepley in this precinct is Charles T. McCabe, county clerk and known as one of the most tireless Re publican workers in the city. He claims that even with Kepley present the pre cinct will be carried for Cook by 150 majority. Kepley claims that he will have at least that majority or more in the precinct. Sheriff Kepley said at noon that he is confident of being elected by from 600 to 900 majority. He said that his major ity in the Second ward would be 700 and that he would leave the city with at least 800 votes to spare. He also claims that recent advices received from Ross ville, Silver Lake, Menoken, Tecumseh and Richland, indicate that he will carry those townships by good majori ties, and that he has a good show in Auburn. He admits that he will lose the Fourth ward, which he carried be fore, but thinks that he will make gains in the Third over his vote two years ago. He lost the ward then by a majority of 71. He has no doubt about carrying the First and Fifth wards. Chairman Capper of the Republican county central committee said at noon that he had no doubt of the election of the entire Republican ticket. "Kepley will carry the second ward bv about 300." said he. "It may be that he will get 400, but that is the limit. I believe that we will carry the First ward by a small majority and that the Fifth ward will be close. I do not be lieve there is any doubt that we will carry the Third and Fourth wards by from 300 to 400 votes each. The fine weather will help the vote in the coun try, and I know that no one need feel doubtful of the result." The new law. which requires that the cross mark must be placed at the right of the name to be voted for instead of on the left, is making some trouble, but the judges are explaining to the voters and there will probably be few mutilat ed ballots on that account. The regulation which requires the judges to number each ballot and clip off the number when the ballot is pre sented, is also making some trouble. In the Fifth precinct of the Second j ward. Col. Geo. W. Veale presented his ballot and the judge started to clip off the corner. "Here! Here!" shouted the colonel, who had evidently not heard of the new rule. "You are marking the ballot to see how I voted, are you? If that is what you want to know. I will tell you that I voted for two Democrats. Now, does that satisfy you?" This method is followed to prevent the "endless chain" ballot. At noon today a conservative esti mate placed the number of votes cast at 3,000. The registration is 8,700. j First Ward. The election is going off quietly in the First ward. The rush is expected from 4 to 7 o'clock. Most of the votes were polled early in the morning and since then the vote has been light. The polling place of the first precinct at S12 Kansas avenue has been quiet since the rush of the morning. At 11 o'clock 117 votes had been polled out of the 504. Both sides claim that thev are a little ahead but agree that it is close between Kepley and Cook. The supporters of Close claim that he will carry the precinct against Wright for county clerk. In the second precinct the polling place at 805 North Van Buren, there Is no excitement; 101 votes were polled at 11 o'clock out of 502 registered. The supporters of Kepley claim the precinct by a small majority. It is the general opinion that W'right will carry the pre cinct but some claim it for Close. The third precinct voting piace at Grant and Topeka avenues, showed 110 votes at 11 o'clock out of 420 registered. Cook is reported slightly ahead. 2:30 P. M. The First precinct of the First ward had 232 names at 2 o'clock. The sentiment around the poll is that Kepley will have a fair majority. Second Ward. The Second ward shows some lively work by both sides. At the first pre cinct at 311 East Second street, 70 votes were polled at 11:30 out of 370 that are registered. This precinct is claimed for Kepley anywhere from 3 to 5 to one. The rest of the candidates are running close. The afternoon vote is expected to be in favor of the Republican tick et. The second precinct at 235 Jefferson street seems to be a doubtful point. The "heelers" for both tickets are but tonholing the voters and filling their hands and pockets with cards. At 11:30 79 votes out of 391 registered had been $olled. Kepley's supporters claim the precinct by a large majority. The third precinct is claimed for Kep ley and Close with the rest of the tick et in doubt. At 12 o'clock only. 58 votes had been polled out of the 449 register ed. The fourth precinct is claimed by Kepley's supporters four to one, while Cook men say that it is close. At the voting place 1118 East Sixth street, 90 votes out of the 513 registered had been polled at 12 o'clock. The fifth precinct is claimed by Kep ley as high as 10 to 1. The late vote is expected to change the result of this prediction. At 12 o'clock 188 votes out of 638 registered had been polled. 2:30 P. M The Fifth precinct of the Second ward showed 313 names voted at 2:30 o'clock with Kepley decidedly in the lead.Otis Hungate claims the pre cinct for Kepley by 10 to 1. Third Ward. First precinct At noon 92 votes had been cast. It is claimed by Repub licans that a large majority of the votes are for Cook. O. K. Swayze places Cook's vote at twice that cast by the Kepley forces. Kepley carried the precinct by one before. The regis tration in the precinct is 373. Second precinct At noon 178 votes had been cast. The registration is 426. In this precinct the Kepley vote will be larger than at the first and some of the Kepley supporters claim that they will have a majority. John B. Jones, ex-tu.rnkey for Sheriff Kepley is working for Cook at this precinct. Third precinct At noon 185 votes had been cast. The majority of votes were cast by colored people. The precinct Is largely colored and there is a con flict of opinion about who has the best of that vote. Sheriff Kepley is on the ground trying to hold his colored friends in line while Charles McCabe is doing what he can to win them away. Kepley's friends claim that the colored vote is standing by him quite as well as it did two years ago and that he will get as large a propor tion of it. Fourth precinct Admittedlv a Cook precinct. At 1 p. m. 185 votes had been cast. The registration was 436 and Cook's friends claim that Kepley will not get over 150 votes. It depends upon how many of the voters are brought out. how large the Cook ma jority will be in this precinct. Fourth Ward. First precinct At 1:30 p. m., 202 votes had been cast. The registration is 367, and the vote is large. Kepley's friends claim that the result will be a standoff, but the probability is that Cook will have a majority of the votes, though it may be small. Second precinct At 2 p. m., there were 230 votes cast. This is probably a Kepley precinct. The German vote is large here, and the Germans are stand ing by Kepley to a man. The Kepley workers claim, a big majority, but Cook's followers say that the vote will about break even. The registration is 445. Third precinct At 11 o'clock there were 100 votes cast. The vote will be large here this afternoon because a large number of shop men live in the precinct, and the shops close at noon. The Kepley vote here is large owing to the fact that there are many Ger mans and Swedes in the precinct, and the voters of both nationalities are sup porting Kepley. Kepley should carry the precinct, judging by all estimates. Fourth precinct At 10:30. 90 votes were cast. The majority for Cook in this precinct will be large. Many Dem ocrats are supporting the Republican nominee for sheriff. This will probably be the banner Cook precinct in the city. 2:30 P. M. The First precinct of the Fourth ward had polled 1S7 out of 368 names registered. Cook seems to be in the lead if the rumors can be depended upon. The Second precinct of the Fourth ward has 210 names voted out of 455. The knowing ones say that Cook is decidedly in the lead. Fifth Ward. First precinct At 11:30, 87 votes had been cast. Martin Dennis voters are supporting Cook, while South Topeka is for Kepley. Both sides claim the-advantage and the vote will be close. Second precinct At 11 a. m., 70 votes had been cast. The larger number are colored people. It is admitted that Kepley will have a majority in the pre cinct and it will probably carry the ward for him. MONOPOLY IS COMPLETE. Standard Oil Buys Up tho Las Stronghold of the Opposition. Pittsburg. Pa., Nov. 2. The Standard Oil company has just bought 20.000 acres of oil lands in McKean county for $1,400,000 cash. This was clear profit to the sellers, as the property had already paid for itself. The purchase vlrturally puts an end to the fight of independent producers against the Standard. Dr. Miner In a Smashup. Dr. H. C. Miner was painfully bruised in a smashup south of the city last night. He was driving along the road in the di rection of a patient's house when his horse suddenly shied. throwing the buggy against a telegraph pole. Dr. Miner was thrown against one of the front wheels, and a piece of broken shaft struck him in the left eye. The horse tore loose from the harness, and in this way probably prevented a serious runaway. The doc tor is able to be out today, but is suffer ing considerably from his bruises, though the injury to his eye is slight. Insurance Against Strikes. Berlin, Nov. 2. An insurance society to be called Industrla is being formed by employers throughout Germany to ensure against loss arising from strikes. The society will have a capital of five million marks. KANSAS ELECTION Fusion Forces Against Straight Republican Ticket In the Larger Number of Kan sas Counties. JUDICIAL ELECTIONS In Thirteen Judicial Districts of the State. National Issues Affecting tha Vote at Wichita. With very few exceptions the elec tion contest in Kansas today isbetween the Republican party and the "allie.l forces" in each county. In some of the counties the Democrats and silver forces have endorsed the Populist tick ets while in ninety counties the offices have been divided among the Demo crats, Populists and silver Republicans. As usual the chairmen of the two campaign committees have issue! manifestoes claiming the election of all their candidates. There are 753 offices to be filled by to day's election. Seven county officials, including in each county one commis sioner, makes a total of 735. There are thirteen judges to elect and six mem bers of the legislature, two senators and four representatives. R. T. Andrews Republican and George W. Glick fusionist, aspire to the position made vacant by the death of Senator B. F. Wallaek of Effingham. The district is composed of Atchison and Jackson, and is probably safely Republican. The resignation of W. A. Harris who was elected United States senator caused a vacancy in the Third district. Jacob Haun, Republican and James C. Stone Democrat, are rival candidates for the place. The vacancies in the representativa districts are as follows: Forty-seventh I. E. Lambert, re signed. Charles Harris, Republican and R.obert L. Jones, Populist, candi dates. Seventy-fourth District Frank T. Patton, Populist, resigned. Name of Populist nominee, if there is one does not appear on official ballot. W. C. Miller is the Republican nominee. One hundred fifteenth Charles Lob dell, resigned. Nominees: S. L. Fil son, Republican; F. S. Tingley. Popu list. In the 120th district, C. A. Maxwell, Republican died, but the names of the nominees to fill the vacancies have not been reported to the political head quarters in this city. Election of district judges will take place as follows: Ninth district. McPherson, Reno a.-.d, Harvey counties. M. P.Simpson. Repub lican, F. P. Hettinger, fusionist. Tenth district, Johnson and Miami, Sperry Baker, Republican, John T.iiur ris, fusionist. Fifteenth district, Mitchell, Osborne, Jewell and Smith counties, R. M. Piek ler. Republican, M. R. Sutherland, Pop ulist. Seventeenth district, Phillips, Norton, Decatur, Rawlins and Cheyenne coun ties. John R. Hamilton, Republican, A. C. T. Geiger, fusionist. Nineteenth district.

Fusion failed in the following coun ties: Barber, Dickinson, Greeley, Gray, Leavenworth, except on state senator. Ness, Kearny. Pawnee, Rawlins, Thomas, Woodson, and Wallace. In Leavenworth, and Meade county the Democrats outgeneraled the Popu lists and nominated the candidates for all of the county offices. In Haskell and Thomas county straight Populist tickets are in the field. Complete fusion exists in the re maining counties of the state. In these counties the offices are divided equally among the Populists, Democrats a.'d. Silver Republicans. Troy. Troy, Nov. 2. The election in Doni phan county today is one of the hot test the county has experienced for years. The Populists are making a strong fight to secure a part of the county offices and are making frequent charges of corruption against the Re publicans. Indications point to tha election of the Republican ticket. Leavenworth. Leavenworth, Nov. 2. The Democrat ic ticket will not receive the support of the Populists to any alarming extent in this county today. Local Populists are making a vigorous fight against the Democratic machine, which, witli John H. Atwood at its head, has been running things with a high hand in the city. Much criticism is being heard against Gov. Lee-iy because he ignored the Populists and placed municipal af fairs in the hands of the Democrats by permitting Mr. Atwood to become the dictator. Republicans claim the elec tion of the county ticket and assert that they have the best of the chances to elect a Republican successor to Sen. ator W. A. Harris. Osage City, Osage City", Nov. 2.

From 2 o'clock yes terday afternoon until 7:30 o'clock the delegates to the national W. C. T. TJ. field continuous session behind closed floors, and discussed with much ,-warmth the report of Mrs. Matilda B. Carse of the Chicago temple. Miss Sarah G. Johnson, financial sec retary of the temple presented her re port. Mrs. Kathrine Stevenson of Mas sachusetts, one of a committee recently Bent to Chicago to investigate the tem ple matter, reported that the income of the temple If it was rented would be S1T5.0W) a year. Its annual expense, including- interest would be J125.000. iAbout one-fourth of the building has lieen unrented last year and about one third this year. Mrs. Carse was then called upon to Bnswer hundreds of questions, relevant land irrelevant regarding the finances tif that temple, most of which were covered in her report, which, as read toy her, was in part as follows: She attributes the crisis in its af fairs to the financial condition of the country and "the determination to re Vive the enterprise." She declared that Jiad all unions responded as did a few, the stock would have been in posses sion of the union without incumbrance. i?he quotes from previous reports, showing the receipts and expenditures end the partial subscriptions, and adds that of over JZOO.OOO subscribed, $141,000 is still in her hands. She is entering into negotiations which promise to be most successful and will insure at least $:;JOCHX with what she already feas. Sine incorporates in her report a paper signed by Lyman J. Gage and ten other prominent business men of Chicago, made after an examination of eft'airs of the temple the rirst year. This report declares that "aside from the moral value in the interests of the Hv. C. T. U. we are fully convinced that if the friends of the W. C. T. U. are willing- to put into bur hands the sum fcf $300,000 within six or twelve months, also that you may stop the present outgo of the interest charges, you will obtain control of the building and the income from which may be expected to increase from year to year with the final result of an established income to the interests you represent." Mrs. Carse continues: "We are tobd the enterprise should be abandoned; that it is dishonest to support it. I think it most dishonest and unbusiness-like for us to stop at this juncture1 when we have put in so Jtiuch money and now that business prospects are returning to the country to let go our hold of that which is with in our grasp. I beg of you, dear dele pates, to stand by the pledge which the national otVicers sent out in Novem ber lMtD, which contained the following words: 'While God reigns in Heaven and white rilbon hearts beat stead fastly on earth we will never desert this enterprise or take a backward step.' A long and spirited discussion of the temple mattr followed a dozen or more conflictfng plans being proposed and voted down. The president. Miss Willard. was fin felly called upon to state her plans, and jBuid: "I have no great plan. I believe we must not givt? up the temple. I know it would be the death of some of us. 1 just thought I would go to some rich people who have been a little friendly n-ith me arwi ask them to help us. I So not know about owning the temple, Tut I do want to keep a controlling in terest in it. I believe it is going to pay a fine margin. If I did not 1 Would not try to raise the money. I thought I would go out and see what I could do. I am not going to make any appeal te the local unions, but of course, if. they sit up nights and hanker to give well then, all right." One after another the complex amendments that had piled up were cleared away, and the vote came on the original motion to adopt the report. Jt was carried by an easy majoritv. Miss Willard suggested Miss Cornelia tew as custdian of the trust fund imd the convention approved. Then came a resolution offered orig inally by Mrs. Marion H. Uunham of Iowa, pledging support In the work of raising the money. After going through a series of amendments of codification it was adopted as follows: "That in view of the pledge of the fupport of our leader and from the fact that Mrs. Carse has secured 13.000 pledges with promises of $200,000, we pledge our support and co-operation to eecure $300,000 to be given Miss Dow as custodian to hold until she shall have enough money to retire the bonds."

One of tha Curses of France the Mo tive of a Popular Play. Paris, Nov. 2.- One hears a good deal lately about the marriage question, and a new play by Mr. Brieux, which is being presented at a popular theater, has given an impetus to the question. Mr. Brieux in his new play, which Is called "Les Trois Fill?s de M. Dupont," takes a decided stand against the dow ry system prevalent in France and in favor of selection on the footing of mutual regard and affection. Of the three principal heroines of the play, to wit, the daughters of Mr. Du pont, a grasping man of business, one, Caroline, is getting: on in years as a de vout but unhappy old maid ;another,An. Kele, has taken to what is euphemis tically termed a gay life, to the horror of her outwardly respectable relatives, while the third, Julie, the object of the orthodox barter, in which, however, any amount of trickery has been displayed by the contracting parties, provision having even been prudently made for a possible divorce at no distant date, has been united to a man lor whom she has no love and who does not treat her in a chivalrous or generous manner. Matters get hopelessly muddled ere the curtain drops at the close in the last act. The erewhile devout Caroline be comes enamored of an individual for whom she is prepared to sacrifice her reputation, as marriage is impossible, he having already an old liason to which he is a slave, but Angele, who has opportunely turned up, warns her by her own experience against such a mad course; while Julie, after rain ef forts to live in harmony with a hard, not to say brutal, husband, gives up the effort in disgust and goes her own way, as so many women have done before under like circumstances, she having, ere she was wedded, had some liking for a certain young man, who reap pears, as luck will have it, just when a fresh crisis is impending. "As for the moral which I intended to convey," Mr. Brieux explained, "it is very simple. It is that women can only be happy in a marriage of affec tion. Look at the three distinct types which I have brought forward. Caro line, the eldest daughter, is devout and tries to do her duty, but she is misera ble all the time, as she does not dwell in the atmosphere of a congenial home of her own. Angele has gone to the other extreme and has quaffed the cup of pleasure to the dreg's, but with pre cisely the same result. As for Julie. the only wedded sister, her wishes were never consulted:she was simply the vic tim of an odious bargain and was tied to a man who did not understand her and for whom she had no love." "Do you think such cases are very common in France?" "Well," replied Mr. Brieux. "I may have made the most of the spirit of re volt aroused in Julie by the treatment to which she was subjected, but I con sider that her mother, Mrs. Dupont, is a fair and characteristic type of the average class of married women in this country: downtrodden, but resigned in the effort to do their duty and to sac rifice themselves for their children." "The dowry system is the cause of much of this trouble." "Precisely so. and you will have no ticed how I have protested against it. So long as marriages are arranged on a purely pecuniary basis they are mor ally bound to end in failure. Such things should be conducted with prudence and there is not the slightest reason why a young man should not happen to fall in love with a girl endowed with a fair share of this world's goods. "Such matches are of every-day oc currence in England, for instance; they usually turn out well and there is nothing to say against them. But this is scarcely the point. The two systems are absolutely different and it is against the barter with dowries, so general in France, that I have waged this cam paign as being: totally and diametrical ly opposed to the principle which I have laid down, and the true and real hap piness of every woman is only to be se cured by a marriage of affection as contrasted with one of mere sordid interest." BOATS ON ST. LAWRENCE. Steamers Like the Priscilla to Ply Between Toronto and Montreal Next Summer. Montreal, Nov. 2. The official an nouncement is made by the Richelieu Ontario Navigation company, whose boats ply between Lewiston and the Saguenay, that next year two palace steamers will be put on the route be tween Toronto and Montreal. These boats will be, it is further an nounced, counterparts of the Priscilla, which runs between Fall River and New York. The boats will be built by the Ber trams of Toronto, and will cost about $300,000 each. The step has been taken to meet the competition of an Ameri can line, having at its head the Folgers of Kingston, Ont., which announces its intention to run boats from the Thou sand Islands to Montreal again next year. The three-year-old boy of J. A. John son, of Lynn Center, 111., is subject to attacks of croup. Mr. Johnson says he is satisfied that the timely use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, during a severe attack, saved his little boy's life. He is in the drug business, a member of the firm of Johnson Bros, of that place and they handle a great many patent medicines for throat and lung diseases. He had all these to choose from, and skilled physicians ready to respond to his call, but selected this remedy for use in his own family at a time when his child's life was in danger, because he knew it to be su perior to any other, and famous the country over for its cures of croup. Mr. Johnson says this is the best sel ling cough medicine they handle, and that it gives splendid satisfaction in all cases. Sold by druggists. Poultry for South Africa. New York. Nov. 2.

McKinney, Ky., Nov. 2. "There is no devil," said Rev. Gilham of the Chris tian church during a sermon at Mont- j onville, Sunday night. The congregation rose almost as one man and protested that the pulpit should not be profaned by such state ments. Rev. Gilham repeated his assertion, then tried to make an argument in sup port of it. Part of the congregation left the church. There were cries of "Shame!" from those remaining, and a hurried consultation was held by sev eral of the elders, while the preacher was trying to make himself heard. A decision was speedily reached. Two of the elders, tall, sinewy mountaineers, stalked up to the pulpit. Each had a hand on Rev. Oilman's person. "You get out of here. You ain't fit to preach to white folks," said one of them. Rev. Gilham said he wouldn't go un til he finished his sermon. The committee of two pulled him out of the pulpit. He resisted, and the al tar was overturned. Dragging the preacher to the door, the elders thranv him out. The crowd was wild by this time. Many persons had assembled who did not hear Rev. Gilham's words, and there were many versions of what he said in circulation. It was reported that he had declared himself an Atheist and denounced the Christian religion. Someone threw a stone at the preach er and he ran. Then a pistol shot was heard. It was followed by another and another. A hundred men and boys were chasing the preacher down the main street of Montonville. Half a dozen of them were shooting at him. He knew he would be lynched if he were caught while the mob's blood was up. and he ran like a deer. Fully 20 shots o ere fired at him. He reached the house of a friend unhurt and ask ed for protection. His friend is a man of influence, and after a parley quieted the mob. Mr. Gilman was warned, however, that he must never again ad vance a theory that the devil is dead or never lived, at least not in Monton ville. -Montonville is a mountain hamlet SO miles from McKinney. The people there are very earnest in all their views and their strongest arti cle of faith is a belief in a personal devil and a material hell. TARIFF STOPS TRADE. Business With Canada is at a Stand still. Washington, Nov. 2. Commercial Agent Hamilton at Morrishurgr, Ont., in a report to the state department says that merchants of the tTnited States are making a great mistake in not sending- their agents into Canada. The charge in the tariff law of the tTnited States has for the present necessarily stopped trade, but this will be only temporary. The agent says one of the largest lumber dealers told him that the $!T rate on lumber had checked business, but he believed that it will revive. Mr. Hamilton adds: "Reciprocity is the cry of the Canadian." No Us 3 for Fat Policemen, Ft. Joseph, Nov. 2.

TOPEKA STATE JOTTRNATV TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 2,' 1897. v. KANSASNEWS. Atcbison Electric Car Co Dodges the Law. Makes No Attempt to Place Ves tibules on Cars. IT COSTS TOO MUCH. Besides They Think the Law is "Unconstitutional." G. A. K. Monument to Be Erect ed at Junction City. Atchison,' Nov. 2. The law requiring the vestibuling of electric cars in Kan sas, went into effect yesterday but the Atchison cars still present open faces. Mr. Wassener said there was no ques tion but that the Kansas law is uncon stitutional. On the ground that it ex empts other than electric cars from the operation of the law. but that the Atch ison Railway, Light and Power com pany does not want to take advantage of the defect in the law. Owing to the construction of the cars in use at Atchison it would cost a large sum of money to provide them with vestibules, but snr,i arrangement for the protec tion of the moiornien will unquestion ably be made.

Hp.w John Irons Gave the Thanks giving Fruit a Start The Arkansas City Traveler says: When John irons came to Cowley coun ty he walked from Cedarvale to what is now Silverdale township and carried a bushel of potatoes on his back in a sack. On the way, he was given some garden seeds by an old woman. Among them were some pumpkin seeds and when he located, he planted his seeds but all his pumpkin vines died except one. He raised four pumpkins on that one. Pumpkins were very scarce in Cowley county; also the seed.

Gave a Kate of $3 to Kansas City and $5 to Chicago. Show Company Paid the id are of Th ose Who Were "Broke." The Santa Fe captured the contract to transport the Ringling circus crowd from Guthrie north at a rate of $3 to Kansas City and $5 to Chicago. General Passenger Agent Jerry Black was on the ground and was a material aid in securing the big contract. It will be remembered that for some weeks, the various trunk line railroad companies have been watching the movements of Ringling Bros.' big show. The time and place of disbandment for the winter was the cause of this at tention. Quarantine laws of the south had forced them to change their plans very materially and the railroad people were kept guessing. When it became known that the show would disband at Purcell, there was a rush of the general ticket agents to that point to secure a share of the 400 people who would scatter to all parts of the country. The breaking up was a great sight. Ringling Bros, told their people that any of them who had had hard luck, had no money and wanted to go either to Chicago or Kansas City, to get on the train and they would pay the trans portation. TO SOOTHE THE SOO. Chairman Caldwell Goes to St. Paul to Straighten Rates. Chicago, Nov. 2. B. T. Caldwell, chairman of the Western Passenger association, left here for St. Paul yes terday to confer with the executives of the Soo road, regarding the withdraw al of excessive commission payments. That road threatens to undo all that was accomplished last week by the agreement reached with the Union Pa cific, in the matter. Should the Soo persist In this course of paying excessive commissions, the Great Northern and Northern Pacific will probably do the same and the ex cessive commissions will be continued on business to all of the Pacific coast points. The Burlington will probably feel compelled to continue the excessive payments on business over its Billings route, and If so it may feel compelled to pay them on Colorado business as well. That would upset the whole plan of their withdrawal, and last week's work would all go for nothing. A meeting of the executive committee of the Western Passenger association was held yesterday afternoon, at which steps were taken to prevent the con tinuance of excessive commissions on California business irrespective of what the Soo may do in regard to their pay ment on North Pacific coast business. It was the sense of the committee that the action of the Soo should be ignored, so far as California business is con cerned and a strong recommendation will be made to all the lines to that ef fect. It is by no means certain, how ever, that the executive committee will succeed in having its recommendation adopted. The business is so inter woven that when any course is adopted relating to North Pacific coast business it is almost impossible to prevent Cali fornia business being effected. K. C. BEAN GOES TO EMPORIA. His Position in Trainmaster Tico's Office to be Filled by O. G. Sage. Mr. K. C. Bean, who has been clerk in the office of Trainmaster H. A. Tice of the eastern division of the Santa Fe in this city for over a year, has been transferred to a similar position in the office of Trainmaster Bailey of the middle division at Emporia. Mr. Bean formerly worked with Mr. Bailey, and because of the heavy freight business at Emporia, the position is a more lu crative one. Mr. O. G. Sage, who has been with the Mexican Central road for several years, will succeed Mr. Bean in the of fice in this city. i ENGINEER JAMISON UUITa Has Been With the Santa Fe for 21 Years Goes to Washington.

Hanford, the manager of Thomas Keene, the tragedian, who is booked for the Crawford theater in this city early in December, has writ ten Manager L. M. Crawford asking for an expression as to what one of the tragedian's repertoire would be pre ferred by the theater goers of Topeka. The repertoire of Keene includes Othel lo, Hamlet, Louis XI, Richelieu, Rich ard III, Julius Caesar and Merchant of Venice. Ot ihese Keene has pro duced Hamlet, Richelieu, Richard III and Louis XI in this city, and the the ater goers who wil'. go to see the tra gedian would probably prefer to see him in a new piece. Mr. Crawford will endeavor to secure expressions from a number of Topeka people before replying. By a mechanical arrangement a bi cycle race is represented on the stage during the course of the comedy "Ole Olson," which comes to the Grand Op era house in this city next Saturday naght. It is said that the bicycle race is as realistic as the horse race in "The County Fair." John Lawson, the "Terrible Swede" is with the "Ole Ol son" company and appears as one of the riders in the race. The comedy has been freshened in places, and the prices have been reduced to 75, 50 and 25 cents. "The Girl from Paris" and "My Friend from India" are two of the best attractions that will come to Topeka this month. The former comes to the Crawford theater next Monday night. As large an audience as could find ac commodations in the Crawford theater saw the Paiges open a week's engage ment last night. The melodrama "Master and Man" was presented as the opening piece, with George W. Paige, Lillian Paige and Harry English in the principal roles, and the audience was thoroughly pleased with the pro duction. Between the acts of the piece entertaining specialties were in troduced by Mr. George W. Paige and other members of the company. A different play will be presented each evening, and specialties will be intro duced between the acts at every per formance. The prices are 10, 20 and 30 cents. "A Tramp's Dream" attracted but a small audience to the Grand Opera house last night. The piece is adver tised as a musical comedy, but it would be rather difficult to say what it is ex cept that it is bad. Musical comedies don't generally end with a murder scene and the hero standing tragically over the body of his victim shouting "God's will be done." The company includes an orchestra which furnishes the musical features. The piece will be repeated tonight. rH'KINLEV'S WELCOME. People of His Home Town. Extend a Hearty Greeting to the President Canton, O., Nov. 2. The people of Canton turned out in large numbers to welcome President McKinley upon his arrival home. He was escorted to his residence by the Canton troop, where he was waited upon by the Commercial Traveler's association and a large del egation of workingmen from Dueber Heights, most of them from the Dueber watch works. In response to addresses of welcome the president said: "It gives me great pleasure to be back at my old home again, and to re ceive at the hands of my fellow citizens the warm and cordial, and I am sure, heartfelt welcome with which they greet me, I am glad to be assured by the spokesman who has addressed me that those for whom he spoke gave ap proval of the national administration with which I have been associated by your suffrages given last year. (Applause and cries "good, good.") "I assure you, my fellow citizens, that when I entered upon my public duties I had but one aim, but one purpose the good of my country and the welfare of my countrymen, (applause and "good boy"), and nothing could be more en couraging to me, nothing stimulate me to greater effort than to be assured by my fellow citizens as I have been as sured by them, that they "are now em ployed and have steady work (prolong ed cheering). I am deeply interested in the prosperity of my home city, and the greater the prosperity the greater will be my satisfaction. I will not delay you in this inclement weather (cries of "go on") only long enough to assure you that from the bottom of my heart I thank you for this generous welcome home." (Great cheering.) Simultaneous meetings at two halls were held. The speeches were made at both by Senators Hanna, Burrows and Mason and Assistant Secretary of the Interipr Davis. President and Mrs. Mc Kinley remain with President McKin ley's mother. The president will leave for Pittsburg Wednesday morning. BRITISH 31AKE A DEAL.

Prof. Green declared that the normal school here was turning out more graduates than could find posi tions as teachers. Eorn With a Set of Teeth. Wilmington, Nov. 2.

In the city there is no doubt that the Republi can city ticket, headed by Col. Clayton McMichael for city treasurer, will be elected by majorities exceeding 50.000 and that the plurality for the Republi can state ticket will also go beyond that figure. Swallow, the Prohibition candi date for state treasurer, is receiving many votes from those who have not heretofore voted the Prohibition tick et. Reports from the country districts state that the weather is clearing, but that up to noon a light vote had been cast. The roads are deep with mud, and this will have the effect of further de creasing the vote. GREATER NEW TORE. Tracy's Vote Fully as Large as Re publicans Expected. New York. Nov. 23:15 p. m. In the borough of Queens the vote is thought j to be running close between Van Wyck and Low. In Long Island City there was a report at noon that the Gleason party was throwing its strength in fa vor of Gen. Trr-cy but this was denied by Mayor Gleason. During the afternoon, Chairman Quigg of the Republican campaign committee issued a statement that the events were bearing out ail the claims of the Re publican success that had previously been put forward. In a word Mr. Quigg concluded: "The Republican party is voting its full strength, and its full strength is more than enough to elect." FRAUDULENT VOTERS. Warrants Out for the Arrest of 400 in New York. New York, Nov. 2. 3:00 p. m. At police headquarters, there are about 400 warrants out for the arrest of fraudulent voters. The Republican, Democratic and Citizens' Cnion parties are represented by lawyers in the vari ous police courts to defend voters of their respective parties. MARYLAND. Baltimore, Nov. 2. The polls opened this morning, during a perfect deluge of rain that appears to have extended to all parts of the state and effectually checked the voting in the first hour. It also had a tendency to keep the party workers away from the polling places, and the result was one of the quietest times ever seen here on such an occa sion. At 8 o'clock the skies cleared up a bit, and the indications at that hour pointed to the polling of a very heavy vote both in the city and county, with the result in doubt. Both parties issued manifestoes last night in which eah claimed a sweeping victory, the Repub licans placing the probable majority for their ticket at 10.000 in the city and 20, 000 in the state. The Democrats on the other hand claimed 12,000 in the city and 20,000 in the state. As to the legis lature, which will elect a successor to United States Senator Gorman, both Democrats and Republicans express the utmost confidence that they will carry it. In addition to the legislature, a state comptroller and a clerk of the court of appeals are to be chosen in the state and a mayor and a city coun cil in the city. Baltimore, Nov. 2. At 1:30 p. m. it was estimated that two-thirds of the total registration of 111,000 in the city had been polled. It was done in the most orderly manner imaginable, but ten arrests having been reported by the police up tf that hour and of these 8 were charged with drunkenness and refusing to leave the neighborhood of the polling place when told to do so. The voting was done with such unus ual rapidity as to lead to the belief that little scratching was being in dulged in, a fact which seemed to give great satisfaction to the leaders of both the great parties. Inasmuch as the voting is being- done under the Aus tralian system, it is impossible to pre dict the drift of the balloting. VIRGINIA. Richmond. Va Nov. 2. Weather is cloudy in Richmond and all over state with rain on the coast, but pros pect of becoming fair this afternoon in all sections. The vote in one-half of the city exceeds expectations, while in the other half, it is very light, the ne groes not voting. In the white pre cincts, where some negroes are regis tered, no negro votes have been polled, while usually there are a number by this time. In Jackson ward, a negro stronghold, the negroes are now get ting to the polls. A dramatic incident of the campaign and coincident with the tragic end of Henry George, was the death this morning at Staunton of Colomes James Cockran. the Republican senatorial candidate for the Ninth district. He expired suddenly after a vigorous cam pa ign. Richmond, Va., Nov. 2. The returns from all parts of Virginia indicate that the vote polled today is very light. In many sections the negroes are follow ing the advice of the organization lead ers and are refraining from voting. It is probable that the vote polled today will not exceed 60 per cent of that thrown at the presidential election of last year. The Democrats will carry their gubernatorial ticket withoutprac tical opposition and will have an over whelming majority in both branches of the legislature. There will however, be more independents in each branch than usual. MICHIGAN. Detroit, Nov. 2. A steady, drenching, cold rain, with no apparent prospect of cessation was the kind of weather fur nished for the Detroit municipal elec tion. Consequently the morning vote was light in most of the 120 voting precincts. Mayor Maybury's adherents claimed that it was Democratic weath er and tended to add to the Democratic majorities, which they have been con fidently predicting. The Republicans insist apparently with equal confidence that Clarence A. Black will be the next mayor, but tney do not claim as large majorities as do the Democrats. It is a quiet closing of a quiet campaign. Citizens have been rather apathetic, as both candidates for mayor are repre sentative public men of highest charac ter. NEW YORK (STATE.) Albany. N. Y., Nov. 2. The weather in the Mohawk valley has been very unpleasant since Sunday night, -but It is clearing this afternoon. The country roads are muddy and the rural vote will be lighter than in several years. In some towns the vote will not run much over half the vote of last year. In this city, it is generally conceded That John G. Gibson, democrat, will be re-elected mayor. The vote here is heavy. SOUTH DAKOTA. Siou-x Falls, S. D.. Nov. 2. An ideal day dawned this morning. It was warm and clear with a bright sun and no wind. The effect of this will be to increase the vote, especially in the rur al districts which is favorable to the Populists. The indications, however, point to a light vote, though it will be heavier by several thousand than was anticipated a week ago. The interest in the election has come to a sudden, climax and something of the old time stir is reported from various points in ti.a state. MASSACHUSETTS. Boston, Nov. 2. Rain is prevailing all over Massachusetts today and voting during the early hours of the day was slow. The feeling, which has been general that Govenor Wolcott is- sura of re-election, has doubtless also af fected the volume of the vote. Boston, Mass., Nov. 2. Braintree was the first town to report the vote for governor today. The vote is: Wolcott, Rep., 311; Williams, Dein., 131; Everett, National Dem., 2S. SPINDLES TO STOP. Cotton Opiratives Determined to Re sist a Reduction of Wages. Manchester, Eng., Nov. 2. At a con ference held here between representa tives of employers of cotton operatives the employers gave a month's notice of their intention to make a 5 per cent re duction in the amount of wages of their employes. As the operatives throughout the north of England have already announc ed that they will resist a reduction in their wages, it seems probable a strike affecting 200.000 persons which may last for months, entail the loss of $350,000,000 according to the Pall Mail Gazette, and also possibly bring about the ruin of the cotton industry in this country wiil begin on December 1.

It is 35 years since the first subsidy was voted. Fur a third of a century the history of the road is one of fortunes made at the expense of the public and schemes to get more. Now that it is all over as far as the main line is concerned and the gov ernment is fortunately out of it with out loss it is to be hoped that the new management will settle down to legiti mate railroading and conduct the busi ness of the road on business principles. It is a fine piece of property and capa ble of earning good dividends on what it has cost the new owners. There yet remains the Kansas Pa cific and the Central Pacific to be straightened out. The former's debt to the government is about $13,000,000 including interest. The mortgage has been foreclosed in the same manner as that on the main line and the date of the sale is set for December 15 in this city. It is said that the purchasers of the maine line do not want the Kansas branch and will not bid on it. This is probably true. It is not easy to see wherein the line would be of any spec ial value to the owners of the Omaha division, more than it would to any other company. It is understood that the government is prepared for an emergency of this kind and will itself bid the full amount of its claim, though Attorney General JIcKenna holds that the reorganiza tion committee is under obligation to stick to its original proposition regard ing the entire property. It is improbable that the government will sustain any loss in any event. If it should be forced to buy the road, it can doubtless be leased for an amount sufficient to pay interest on the invest ment and it is becoming more valuable all the time. The outlook for the government to get out of the Central Pacific end of the deal is not so good. The debt of that section of the road from Ogden westward is about equal to the claim settled yesterday. Foreclosure proceedings have not yet been commenced but it is anticipated that a suit will be filed early in the coming year, as a large installment of guaranteed bonds fall due in January which the government will be com pelled to pay. In the following January another large block of these bonds will be due and it is desirable therefore that some adjustment of the matter be reached during the coming year. It is fortunate for the tax payers of the country that the day of settlement has come at a time when railroad val ues are on the rise else so good a sale as that of yesterday might have been impossible. Now, however, the purch asers are considered to have obtained a bargain even at the advance of $13, 000,000 which they were forced to make over their original bid. PEOPLE YOU HEAR OF.

Mrs. McKinley is said to be enjoying much better health at present than at any time since she went to Washington. Her friends say that there has been a great improvement during the summer vaca tion.

THIS IS THE NUT SEASON. All of the Familiar Varieties Now in the Market- Chicago, Nov. 2. Now that the summer fruit season is on its last legs the trade which caters to the taste of the public in the way of table delicacies la turn ing its attention to nuts. All the old, familiar varieties are now in the market, as well as some kinds with which the public generally is not at all familiar. Chief among the latter is the cob nut. This is an English importa tion and has been brought over by a State street house which makes a spe cialty of fancy edibles of most any kind. The cob nut is a close family relative of the American hazel nut, its form and tex ture being identical, except that the Eng lish product is large and elongated. where as the nut from the American bush is small and round. Abroad the bush is cultivated for hedges. The nut is ship ped to this country in the husk or burr, which aids in keeping it moist. Its price is 43c per pound. Although the most ex pensive nut in the market, it is growing in popularity with the class who are on the lookout for something new and deli cate in the eating line. Pecans are always popular, and this winter's supply promises to be choice. They are coming now from Texas, Mis souri and southern Illinois, those raised in this state said to be as good as any. The three popular kinds of almonds are the paper shell, Jordan and IXL, in the order named. Walnuts, both English and black, are in good supply from California, as are filberts from Sicily and Naples. Hickory nuts are coming mainly from Wisconsin and Ohio. Those from the Badger state are the Shadbark variety. Brazil nuts, the name of which indicates their origina, are in good supply, as are the almonds, which come almost entirely from California- Prices on all these nuts except the cob, run from 15 to 20c per pounds. Meats from all of them are also sold at 45c per pound. P. G.

California Fruit Orowera Fear the Mexican Orange Worm. Sacramento, Cal., Nov. 2. Secretary Le long of the state board of horticulture says of late there has been considerable discussion as to the probable introduction of the "Mexican orange worm" into this state. The state board of horticulture has taken all precautions possible to pre vent its Introduction. All shipments of fruit arriving in this state will be thor oughly inspected before being allowed to land, and if any fruit should be found in fected by this pest it will be promptly destroyed. The quarantine officer of the board, Alexander Craw, has been in structed to take every precaution to pre vent the introduction of the pest. A fruit dealer of Los Angeles, interest ed in the Mexican orange trade, in an indignant letter to the Nogales (Ariz.) Oasis, asserts that this orange pest has already secured a lodgement in southern California. This statement is without foundation, as the California insect is the larva of a small moth, and not one .or ange In a thousand is attacked by it. It only pierces the rind and never enters the pulp. The Mexican orange worm Is the larva of a fly, and enters the pulp. The Mexican pest is reported to be con fined to two states south of the City of Mexico. In answer to a telegram sent to Dr. L. G. Howard, United States en tomologist, by the quarantine officer, ask ing if this pest is known to exist in any other state in Mexico, Dr. Howard re plied: "No certain knowledge except Morales and Puebla, but must occur else where. Investigating now." These states are south and southeast of the City of Mexico, and adjoin each other. Mr. Sproule said that but few oranges have been brought to California by rail for two or three years past, and those only from the extreme northwestern state of Sonora. Mexican oranges are shipped to Chicago and northern cities from the end of October until December or Janu ary, and go by way of Eagle Pass or El Paso, Tex. The general freight and passenger agent of the Mexican Central railway has been communicated with and requested to no tify its shippers not to make any ship ments of citrus fruit to any point in Cali fornia, for in the event of the fruit be ing infested with the "Mexican orange worm" it will be immediately destroyed, and that such notification will prevent any misunderstanding and los sto its pa trons. His attention has also been called to the magnitude of the citrus industry of California, and the well grounded alarm of the growers as to the danger of intro ducing such a pest into their orchards. 9 c tos by 5 Hovember Sale These chilly nights suersrest that it is blankets that you will want.

TO FACE THE EEVER. Problem That Confronts the Supreme Court of Alabama. Birmingham, Ala., Nov. 2. Under the laws of Alabama the state supreme court must convene in Montgomery not later than November 6 each year. it cannot meet elsewhere In the state, and unless it assembles by or before the date named it must stand adjourned for another year. The judges of the court met at Blount Springs last night to determine what they shall do in the present emergency, while yellow fever is raging in Montgomery. The law was thoroughly examined and it was determined that there was no way out of the difficulty but to brave a trip to the capital on November 6 to comply with the law. Accordingly a letter was addressed by them to the governor today asking his permission for the judges to return to their homes, or to points in north Alabama after their Montgomery trip. The letter says that they will go to Montgomery on a special train on the date named, proceed at once to the capi- tol, organize and adjourn court until a date when the city is clear of yellow fever and leave town. They think this can be done in half an hour. The governor has referred the matter to the state board of health for their opinion. It is a violation of the state quarantine regulations for anyone from an infected part to go to uninfected parts within ten days, but it looks as if this law must either be violated or there will be no session of the supreme oourt in Alabama for a year, unless the judges leave the state immediately after their departure from Montgomery and remain without its bounds ten days. 11-4 Gray Wool Mixed Blankets.

Mary Bradford, a Boston Spinster, Wills $4,000 to Her House hold Companion. Boston, Nov. 2. Miss Mary Bradford of South Boston made no public bequests in her will, but she established a trust of a somewhat novel nature and which merits perhaps more than passing notice. Mary had a parrot which was evidently dear to her feminine heart. Love which might have been lavished on some hu man being was given this bird. It is not known whaIts accomplishments were whether it swore or was a devout par rotbut Mary loved it. She could not bear to leave it the mercy of a cold, un feeling world, and so she provided for its future. She did not want it sold or placed in any sihop, store or other public place, but she wanted it cared for as it should be. So she left a fund of $4,000, the income of which should be paid to some trust worthy person, who should see to it that Polly had proper care and nourishment during the course of Its natural life. And Mary's wishes are to be carried out. Judge Grant has appointed G. H. Pierce trustee of this poll parrot fund and Polly is to have the income of it. UNCLE SA3TS GOLD.

Lawsuit at Fort Dodge, Iowa, Grows Out of Alleged Practical Juke. Fort Dodge, la., Nov. 2. The attention of the district court has been taken up for a week with the case of Lazarus Rey nolds vs. Thomas Reedy. The plaintiff sues for $26,000 for damages to the health and mind of his son, Ralph II. Reynolds. He alleges that in the winter of K95 Reedy for a joke Induced Ralph Reynolds, a young man of 22, to go to the railroad tracks to see the body of a man supposed to have been killed; that when he did so at ,a late hour in the night the corpse, which was really the hired man, Allen Johnson, jumped up in his winding sheet and chased him until he was frantic with fear; that he became insane the next day and that after being three times at the insane hospital he is pronounced incura ble. Reedy denies that the incident took place and says it is a creation of Ralph Reynolds' insanity. The case went to the jury at noon and they are still out. DEATH MASK OF GEORGE.

If you have any doubt on this point kindly read the fol lowing letters from people who know that our claims regarding the merits of the Pyramid Pile Cure are borne out by the facts. From N. A. Stall, Ridge Road, Niag ara Co., N. Y. I received your Pyramid Pile Cure and tested it last night. It did me more good than anything I have ever found yet, and remember this was the result of one eight's treatment Fr'om Penn W. Arnett. Batesville. Ark.: Gentlemen: Your Pyramid Pile Cure has done so much good in so short a time that my son-in-law, Capt. T. J. Klein, of Fort Smith, Ark., has written me for your address as he wishes to try it also. From A. E. Townsend, Benville, Ind.: I have been so much benefitted by the Pyramid Pile Cure that I enclose $1 for which please send a package which I wish to give to a friend of mine who suffers very much from piles. From John H. Wright, Clinton, De Witt Co., Ills.: I am so well pleased with the Pyramid Pile Cure that I think it is but right to drop you a few lines to inform you its effects have been all that I could ask or wish. From P. A. Bruton, Llano, Tex.: Gentlemen: The Pyramid Pile cure has done so much good for me that I will say for the benefit of others that after using only two days I am better than I have been for months. The Pyramid Pile Cure is prepared bv The Pyramid Drug Co. of Albion, Mich., and it is truly a wonderful rem edy for all forms of piles. So great has been the number of testimonial let ters received by them from all parts of the country that they have decided to publish each week a number of such letters and never "use the same letter twice, but only fresh letters will be published. All druggists recommend the Pyra imd Pile Cure, as they know from what their customers say that no remedy gives such general satisfaction. Taken by His Son Richard, Who is a Sculptor. New York, Nov. 2. Henry George's son Richard has taken a death mask of his illustrious father. The work was done Friday afternoon. The features have thus been denntely retained and will in time be done in marble. Richard George is a sculptor, and although he felt some deli cacy about undertaking the work of mak ing a death mask of his own father, he felt that he, who had studied him long, could do justice to the man as no one else could. Richard George is a remarkable mem ber of a remarkable family. Just before the mayoralty campaign of 1SS6 Richard went into the employ of Tom L. Johnson on his railroad in Brooklyn, which was afterward abandoned. Then he got back nearer to his cherished ambition by be coming draughtsman for a street railroad company in Johnstown. For three years he worked there, put ting in his spare time studying art. For awhile he was In the. photographing busi ness in Johnstown, but the panic of 1893 broke up the firm of which he was a partner. While in Johnstown Mr. George married Miss Mary E. Robinson. Then the offer of a position in the archi tectural terra cotta works in West Phila delphia gave him a chance to model in clay. Then he began on his best work, a bust of Henry .George, his father. Henry George's widow has not been left penniless, although the amount of the es tate left by the dead philosopher is very small, when the enormous sale of his books Is taken into consideration. The home is entirely paid for and it stands in Mrs. George's name. It is worth about $12,000. In addition to this Henry George had In bank perhaps $1,500 more, and he also carried a small amount of life in surance. The whole amount of his es tate will not exceed $15,000.

Mandel Brothers of Chicago imported several busts, single figures and groups in marble, alabaster and bronze and claimed free entry on the ground that they were works of art. They were copies of the originals of "Venus de Milo," "Cupid and Psyche," "Diana," "Three Graces," "Aurora," and other well known -pieces of sculpture. The invoices were accompanied by the usual "artists' certificates" to the effect that the maker of the articles Imported was in each instance a professional sculptor and that the figures were "produced by him." The collector of customs in Chicago as sessed these goods for duty at 45 and 30 per cent ad valorem respectively. The importers appealed to the general appraisers. In the denial of the appeal the board holds that the only statuary entitled to classification under the law as "the pro fessional productions of a statuary or sculptor only" is such as is produced by a professional sculptor in hi3 own studio, either by his own hand or by others un der his direction and supervision, and to which he has himself given the final chas ing or finishing touches and expression. The board also refused free entry to church altars. Established 1875. Formerly Topeka Foundry ana Machine Works, fcstao. 1865.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, TUESDAY EVENTXG, NOVEMBER 2, 189?. 5 a it fOfF.COUAnS AND .WEAR FOR THE MOST A FIGHT FOR WATER. People in the Dry Districts of Topeka Put Up a Strong Plea to the Council And Almost Win Their Point The Council Stancs a Tie on the Vote. There was a dead lock in the council last night over the proposition to settle the water company controversy and the proposition to settle was lost on a. tie vote and likewise the recommendation to reject the proposition was lost by the same Vote, five to five. That leaves the controversy just where it was be fore there was any talk of settlement. This means, however, that the litiga tion will be continued and City Attor ney Bird will be urged to push matters as fast as possible in the hope that something may be done betore the franchise of the company expires which is in lour years. The right over the proposition had really bi-en settled in committee of the whole and it was conceded that there wits little hope of carrying tne meas ure, Counciliiien Nettels and Warner still kept up the fight, however, in be half of the "dry district" and they won over enough votes to prevent the re jection of the proposition even though tney were not aole to carry it. The question came up on the report of the special committee of three. Councilmtn Drew and Pattison, the majority of the committee made a re poi t favoring the rejection of the pro position. Councilman Netttls submit ted a minority report recommending that the proposition be accepted. Councilman Mergan was the first member to speak on the proposition to substitutethe minority for the major ity report. He said that he represented that portion of the Second ward which is in the dry district but that he had secured an expression from his constit uents and he was satisried that they were in favor of lighting it out to the bitter end. They did not want a com promise and he was therefore opposed to the minority report. i rank .Snyder of the Fifth ward was present. He begged the council to ae- opt the proposition for a settlement so that his part of the city might secure water and tire protection. L). W. Mulvane said that this propo sition offered a sure way of securing the extensions of the water mains and immediate relief for the people who have been paying water tax without receiving any benefits. Simon Greenspan who has tried to start a rival water company in Topeka read a law passed by the last legisla ture requiring water companies to make reports to the city. It is your duty to demand that they follow this law," said Greenspan. "That is all i have to say." J. G. Holland who lives in the dry district in the Third ward made an ex tended plea for settlement. "I am sat ished," said he, "that those who favor this proposition live outside the water limits and that those who are against it enjoy all the privileges of an ade quate water supply. 1 am unfortunate enough to live in the dry district and I have tried to build up and beautify a home but I have been hampered by a lack of water. I have spent $3u0 within a radius of 100 feet to secure water but the difficulty with which 1 am forced to contend is pressure which people of the city receive without extra pay. We have been promised water for several years and this is the first time that anything has been done toward giving us what has been promised. This com pany lias offered to compromise and it peema to me that this council owes it to the people who pay at least their proportion of taxes to give us relief when you have the opportunity." Councilman Stephenson spoke in fa vor of the minority report. "This is a frond time to settle if we want to set tie." said he. "It seems to me that this proposition is fair and 1 believe we owe it to the people who have no water pri ilege to accept it. 1 nave paid wa ter tax for years and 1 have felt that it was exorbitant but there are others who have paid water tax without re ceiving any benefit and I am in favor of doing something for them." Councilman ILoundtree I come from n ward that is dry. I have however, held out lor a 2u per cent reduction. l:ut it is admitted that we have a right to reduce the rates at any time so I am in favor of aecexuing this proposi tion and then reduce the rates our selves. It can be done and by that means we will have the rates lower end have these law suits settled at the same time. Councilman Warner The eyes of the whole city are upon us, especially those of the people who live outside the wa ter privileges. I see no legitimate rea son why any one should be against this proposition. Councilman Nettels closed the debate Royal makes the food pure, wholesome and delicious. .Absolutely Pure ROVAL RAKINQ POWDtn CO NEW YORK. S3. VMM: FN, iks-ri?

Could Not Stop the Business if it Tried, so Council Does Not Try. The city council got into a muddle about the "all night lunch wagon," op erated by F. A. Warren. Mr. Warren secured a license a month ago for his wagon, but when he asked to have it renewed, he was refused on the ground that the license ordinance does not include "lunch wagons." Mr. Warren appeared before the coun cil and asked that the council allow him to operate his wagon. Councilman Nettels said that since the ordinance said nothing about this business, there was nothing to prevent Mr. Warren from continuing at his pleasure. It was finally decided to al low Mr. Warren to have license for his wagon, if he cares to pay it. RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED. Various Things That Will be Dona by Council Instruction. By a resolution introduced by Coun cilman Elliott, the street commissioner was instructed to open the alley be tween Jackson and Van Buren streets from Thirteenth to Fourteenth.

Central National Bank and School Board Coma to an Amicabla Agreement The difference between the city school board and the Central National bank on the question of interest on the school funds has been satisfactorily adjusted. At the meeting of the board last night the report of the finance committee, recom mending the acceptance of 2lr. per cent as a compromise between the 3 per cent claimed by the board and the 2 per cent proposed by the bank, was adopted. Over a year ago the school board decid ed that the funds should be deposited in the bank offering the best rate of interest, and the Central National bank came for ward with a bid of 3 per cent, 1 per cent higher than the rate offered by any of the other banks. But it appears that after paying this rate for several months the bank decided that the rate was too high, and sent a letter to the board noti fying it that after a certain date the rate of 2 per cent would be substituted. This notification, it is said, was never received by the board, and when it was discovered some time afterward that but 2 per cent was being paid trouble ensued. From the time of the discovery up to a short time ago a contention has been on between the bank and the school board, but the adoption of the linance commit tee's report last night definitely settles the matter. The board will receive the rate of 2!a per cent on the funds from the time the notice was sent out by the bank up to the present time. From this time on the funds of the board will be distributed among the vari ous banks of this city, and the board will receive the rate of 2 per cent. According to the report of Superintend ent William Davidson, read at the school board meeting last night, the enrollment of the city schools for the first month is as follows: iBoyGirl"srTotal High school Grant cuincy Lincoln Branner Parkdale Oartield Van Buren Jackson Polk Kuclid Lowman Hill Clay Sumner Harrison Lane Washington Madison Monroe Buchanan Total l!iS rw9 214 242 S37 4S.) 4-17 ."23 4:.S 2 'ti 173 2"i)

ELCGD HUXCES crTc-uITai8. rp n t b 1 tu ii Vv, mM m mm mmwm WHY THERE IS A ROW. BecauseUepublican Sta te Chair men Are Selected Wrong. Many Influential Republicans Want the Plan Changed. Let the State Convention Select the Chairman and Give the Party Mora of a Voice in Its Own Affairs. A change in the method of electing a chairman of the Republican state cen tral committee is one of the new sub jects which ia receiving the attention of the Republicans of this state. The former custom has been for the nomi nees for the state offices to select a chairman, the governor having former ly, as a rule, been conceded the power and the privilege of naming the chair man. Borne of the party members have sug gested that the chairman be selected by the state convention before the can didates for state otiieers are chosen. This suggestion is meeting with the ap probation of nearly all of the Republi cans who have discussed it, but few refraining from an unequivocal en dorsement of the idea. The change is advocated by men who are not strictly speaking, offensive partisans, but men who are conserva tive and support the idea, believing that a change would be beneficial. Ex-Governors Thomas A. Osborn and Lyman U. Humphrey and in favor of the change. Mr. Osborn said: "There is but one way to give the people of the state a voice in the election of a chairman who is chosen to represent, not one man or set of men, but the entire party. A representative of a particular faction might neglect interests belonging to other canuidates and of as great im portance as the head of the ticket. The experiment of electing a chairman by the convention has been tried in many of the eastern states and it has given eminent satisfaction. Undoubtedly that is the only way to deal with the problem. The convention unquestion ably has the right to take such action but custom has made it otherwise in Xansas. Custom, it is said, often makes law, but in this particular instance it is my opinion that it would be an ex cellent display of wisdom for the Re publicans of Kansas to change the cus tom." Ex-Governor Humphrey said: "The practice of leaving the selection of a chairman of the state committee to the successful candidate nearly always produces unsatisfactory results. The defeated factions believe that they are being ignored in the distribution of campaign favors. This produces dis satisfaction which causes defection and later develops into a serious quarrel among the various elements. The new method would remove all of these ob stacles and I believe bring us the best results." T. F. Doran of Topeka does not ap prove of the plan. He says: "It oc curs to me, at iirst thought, that a man who had proven himself an active champion of the successful candidates for nominations in state conventions should be selected to manage their in terests in campaigns folowing their nomination. I am of the opinion that the present method is a good one and that being true I see no necessity for a change." Mr. Doran stated that after further investigation of the subject, he might change his opinion, but at present he is opposed to any new departures or the introduction of new ideas. "What we want now," he said, "is harmony and work. With these essen tial elements of a campaign, we can win." Ex-Lieut. Gov. James A. Trontman approves of the plan to have the chair man of the state committee elected by the convention. He said: "The idea is a new one in Kansas, but in some of the eastern states I am informed that it has proven satisfacto ry under all circumstances. I should be in favor of its adoption in Kansas. Under the present method of electing a chairman, the successful candidates are likely to subordinate other inter- ests in favor of their own, which would mean that party interests would be compelled to submit before the inter ests of individuals. This propagates a wrong idea which would be overcome were we to elect a chairman elected in the convention. "A chairman selected by a candidate for governor, nominated in a conven tion filled with close and long fought contests, would be very likely to devote his time, talents and influence to the advancement of the gubernatorial as pirant, which would, of course, react against the remaining candidates. It might also be responsible for overlook ing the legislative interests which are certainly as important as those of the state officers. The legislature is an es sential isart of government and we should look after it as carefully as we would oversee the interests of candi dates for other offices. We should look after everything else connected with a campaign just as much as we should look after the minor details of a cam paign of one man for governor or any other state office." A. C. Sherman of Rossville. one of Shawnee county's representatives in the legislature of 1S95, said: "The election of a chairman by the state convention before the candidates for state offices are chosen, is the on ly correct method of handling this ques tion. The record of the Republican party through all the years of its de velopment in Kansas shows beyond peradventure. the fact that the selec tion of a chairman of the state com mittee by the state officers, who usu ally take a back seat and give the nom inee for governor that privilege, has, during each two years, built up a sort of one man power which has, without exception, proven disastrous to the best interests of the party. Permit the delegates in a convention to select the chairman, and we will then give the people an opportunity to be heard. The delegates come fresh from the people and are in a position to know the senti ments of their constituents, and to them should unquestionably be accord ed the privilege of naming a chairman of the state committee. It is the only correct way to do and will relieve the Republican party o embarrassment which have surrounded it in several campaigns in which I could name." Representative Ed JIcKeever thinks the present method cjuld not be im proved upon. He thinks the delegates in a convention might trade the office of chairman for a candidate for gov ernor or something of that kind and opposes any change being made in the selection of a chairman of the state committee. ONE MORE STALE SCANDAL. W. F. Brown of Pratt, Says That He was Coquetted With. W. F. Brown ofPratt, who was chair man of the house committee on rail roads during the last legislature, is out in an interview, charging that Oy Le land offered him two bribes during the session in an effort to induce Brown to "lay down" in his fight for a maximum freight rate bill and accept the senate bill. Brown says that Leland first offered him $1,500, and later, when the crisis was near at hand and the matter was about to be finally voted on in the house, he says Leland came to him and offered him $5,000 in cash to accept the senate bill. All of these offers. Brown declares, he refused to accept, but pretended to ne gotiate with Leland and his emissaries for the purpose of discovering the plans of the railroad lobby, and thereby equip ping himself with the power to block their movements. THE HUTCHINSON MILITIA. The Company Denies That its Con duct was Disorderly The Journal' Authority. Captain R.A. Campbell of the Hutch inson militia company denies that the members of his company indulged in any disorderly conduct upon their ar rival home from the state encampment at Topeka during the Fall Festival. It was reported and published in the Journal that the company intimidated men and women on the platform of the Hutchinson depot and that the mem bers were firing their guns over the heads of the people, terrifying all with w hom they came in contact. The Journal's information came from the office of the adjutant general where complaint was made by Morris Cain, at the solicitation of some of his friends in Hutchinson. He also sug gested that the company should be mustered out and he says he will con tinue an effort to secure such action from the state military board. Adjutant General Allen says: "If the charges made against the Hutchin son company are filed in proper order and substantiated there will be a court martial." Asked if he had received any com plaints against the company or any charges of disorderly conduct, Mr. Al len said: "Two or three men from Hutchinson have come to my office and told me that the company was con stantly violating the rules and regula tions of the K. N. G. and recommended that they be mustered out." "Who were the men ycu refer to?" inquired a Journal reporter. "I have forgotten their names," said Mr. Allen. "Have you received any communica tions on the subject?" was asked. "I have a letter, which I have been unable to find, left here by Mr. Cain, chief clerk in the office of the secretary of state when he first called on me and made complaint against the company, in which the writer states that the company is a disgrace to Reno county; is disreputable and should be mustered out." "Who signed that letter?" asked the reporter. "I am unable to tell you because I have forgotten the man's name and do not remember where I put the letter. It is on file somewhere in this office," said Mr. Allen. "Do you consider that sufficient cause to muster the company out of the ser vice?" "I cannot answer that question," re plied the adjutant general, "because that would be prejudging the case." Mr. Cain lives in Hutchinson and was presumed to be familiar with the situa tion there. P'rom information and com plaint made by him to the adjutant general came the story which appeared in the Journal. Fighting Over a Cheap Joh. J. F. Beverldge of Jefferson county is in the city to see Governor Leedy and press his demand for the removal of Frank Shane as a member of the state board of charities on the allega tion that Shane accepted from Bever ldge $100 as a fee in return for which he was to secure the appointment of Bev eridge as clerk at the Topeka asylum. The irate but jobless reformer has af fidavits in support of his assertions and promises a bitter fight on Shane. Shane and his friends deny the story and say that Beveridge is engaged in an at tempted blackmailing scheme. The gov ernor has thus far refused to take cog nizance of the demands and protests against Shane, being made by Bever idge, but the latter says he is here to make a fight, and will remain until the governor is compelled to take notice of his presence and the matters which he has for the consideration of the chief executive.

Every thoughtful man whether he be an ar tist or a busi ness man, a mechanic or farmer, feels that he has a cer tain work to do in this world, and he wants to complete it. A brave man's prin cipal fear of death is because it compels him to leave his life work unfinished. He fears sickness for the same reason. He feels that he might as well break his neck p and done with, as to have his best working powers hampered and wasted away by dis ease. To have the brain dulled and the body en feebled by impure bile-poisoned blood, is no better than a living death, with all its horri ble accompaniments of dyspepsia, nervous ness and melancholy. The best thing in the world to restore clear-headed energetic vitality and working power is Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery. It acts directly upon the liver and digestive organs, giving them power to man ufacture rich, healthy blood free from bili ous poisons and morbid impurities. It fills the blood with the red life-givir.g elements which nourish every organ and tissue. It replaces wasted tissue with healthy flesh and solid muscular strength. By feeding the brain and nerves with vital energy, it banishes neuralgia and nervous weakness and sleeplessness. It is better than malt extracts or oily emulsions. It is not a mere temporary stimulant but a genuine and lasting nutri ent, easily assimilated by the weakest stom achs. Ralph Green, Esq.. of Williamsburg.

The battle ground of the Crawford county election is in this city.

The tragedy was the result of an attempt on the life of Ben Marshal and other polit ical workers about midnight Marshall and others heading the fight for the Democratic municipal ticket start ed to the country at 11 o'clock with a load of negroes.

Bismarck, N. D., Nov. 2. The supreme court has filed a decision in the case of the Fort Totten Indians who have taken lands in severalty within Benson county and who applied to the commissioners of that county before the last election for the establishment of a polling place, claiming that they were entitled to vote. The commissioners refused to establish a polling place and the Indians took the case to the district court. Judge Morgan ordered the polling place, and the com missioners appealed to the supreme court. That tribunal sustained Judge Morgan and decides that the Indians who have taken land in severalty and have received preliminary patents are electors and that the provisions of the state code which re quire them to have final patents from the government is unconstitutional. There are about 300 Indians in Benson county who will be entitled to vote under this ruling, and if their vote is cast solid it will practically control factions in that county. STANDS BY FREE TRADE. Lord Rossbsry Advises That Eng land Stick to It. Manchester, Nov. 2. Lord Rosebery addressed a large meeting here last night in connection with the century celebration of the Chamber of Com merce. He reviewed the history of free trade elaborately, eulogising what he described as its "advantages to England." Lord Rosebery contended that the condition of agriculture abroad despite bounties and protection, was in some cases worse, than in England. He fully agreed with Sir Wilfred Lau rier. he declared, that any deviation from absolute political and commer cial freedom would only weaken the bonds holding the empire together and that anything in the dirction of an im perial zollverein would weaken the em pire internally and excite the perma nent hostility of the whole world, al ready excited by British prosperity un der free trade. He said he would "tread softly in the presence of the idea of a zollverein" for he believed it already dead. It behooved them to walk strongly and warily in the path of empire but such zollverein would form a permanent menace of war. Something to Know.

It was the regular monthly meeting of the Liars' club. The chairman, Lionel Phibbs. introduced the guest of the even ing, Sergeant Brown of the weather bu reau. His introductory words were very happy "There is no man wao has had more opportunities for lying or who haa availed himself of them with more fre quency than Sergeant Brown, who will now lie a little." "Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the Liars' club," baid the sergeant, "with mo, as a member of the weather bureau, lying is a business, and I cannot therefore tell a lie with the gusto of an amateur, but a little incident that happened a few sum mers ago out in Indiana may possess some interest for you. "You may remember the summer of fearful drought in Indiana. Crops were frizzled up, brooks lost their right of way and people who had reviled water as the last thing to put in a man's mouth went about hunting for a drop of it. At no place was water more needed than in the manufacturing town of Egerton, Ind. The chief industry of the place is locomotive building, and they had an order for ten locomotives to be finished in a certain timer or thoy would not be accepted. The lake that ran the factory had but seven inches of water in it, and the owners were in despair. If the machinery didn't start inside of three days, they would lose the order. "At this juncture the owners sent for me to see if something could not be done, and I went out there. To make matters worse, enormous black clouds hurried in both directions across Indiana day after I day, to empty themselves into the wator soaked neighboring states but, as if they hud a grudge against the Hoobiers, not a drop fell there. 'If you can make it rain, we will give you a life pas good on any railroad in the country,' said the president of the company. "I acted promptly. I ordered the local artillery company to bring its cannons and plant one on each of the four sides of the lake, with the bores pointed at an an gle of 45 degree and to get ready to fire. Then I issued a weather report, prophesy ing a clear day, and, of course, that brought the clouds. They traveled from east to west and were very black and heavy. I got the men to train their guns so that whou shot the four balls would meet over the lake and not do any damage to property, and then I waited for a cloud oi the right slzo. It soon came. 'Fire!' said I. They fired and the cloud burst then and there, and its contents filled that lake bed as neatly as if the cloud had been measured for it. In a few minutes tha factory was running and the locomotives were finished on time, and I got my pass." "What became of the cannon balls?" asked a member. "Oh," replied the sergeant, "they were welded together by the force of contact and dropped on an island in the exact cen ter of the lake, and the company had an inscription engraved upon them setting forth the facts and giving me due credit for my services."

BONDHOLDERS OBJECT They Don't Like the Way the Pacific Roads Matter is Going. New York, Nov. 2. The Herald says: Opposition to Union Paciflc plans of reorganization developed yesterday from a new source The Kansas Pa cific bondholders object to the treat ment of their securities under the mod ified arrangement, and they propose to block the reorganization if possible. Those bonds received under the origi nal plan SO per cent in first 4 per cent bonds and 50 per cent in preferred stock but these terms were modified so as to issue $75,000,000 bonds and accord ing to the amendment Kansas Pacific consols received 50 per cent 4 per cent bonds and 110 per cent preferred stock. The opposition to the plan which is largely interested in Kansas Pacific consols claims that the government's agreement on which the deposits of there consols under the plan were ob tained has been broken. It is said that steps will be taken in the federal courts to test the matter if the plan proceeds on its present lines.

WHEAT Interest in the grain and pro visions markets was nppartntly confined this morning to professionals. The feel ing ft the opening in wheat was eay. December starting at OaSiWe, as com pared with yesterday's closing price of 96!4e, and lack of support caused a fur ther decline to fo-'Vc. Liverpool was oft s7d at the opf-nin? here, but 1:30 p. m. cables from that market showed a Ud recovery. Paris showed a 40 centimes advance over Saturday. The principal bearish factors were the increase in northwestern receipts, the very favorable Argentine crop news and the' thorough snaking the drought district east of the Mississippi river has been receiving. The closing of the St. Louis flour mills on ac count. It Is said, of the high prices of wheat had some unfavorable influence. Northwestern receipts were 1,048 cars, compared with S97 last week. The corre sponding day last year was a holiday. After tha decline to 95?sc, buying, which was credited to the bull crowd, caused a rally to P576c, but the price later reacted to 95ti9i,ic. CORN Corn acted weak. chiefly through sympathy with wheat. Trade was very slow. Receipts were moderate. 640 cars, and the recent rains are expected to delay the movement of new corn. December opened He lower at 2tvfrc, sold at 20c and recovered to 'MfiZftvc. OATS Oats were duller thnn corn, if possible, with the same weak feeling ap parent. The, pit at times was practically deserted. Receipts were 317 cars. De cember opened c lower at 19Vc, sold at 19c and reacted to IHc. PROVISIONS Provisions were dull and easy. Cudahy was a moderate seller of ribs, about the only incident of the eurly trading. Stocks did not decrease so much as expected. December pork opened 5c lower at $7.60. declined to $7.f.O and re acted to $7.i)5. January bird opened un changed at $4.35 and declined to 4.3L".

The Memorable Contest of the Susque hanna and Roanoke Some Sailing; Rec ords American Ships the fastest Their Great Cara;o Capacity. Outward bound and our ship must go! Goodby! Fare you weili Goodbyl Fare you well! Around Cape Horn through frost and snowl Hurrah, my boys, we're outward bound! This is a verse from an old anchor song that "was popular when Yankee clipper ships sailed out of Yankee har bors bound for every port in the world. Yon may listen a long time nowadays before you hear an anchor song. Modern sailors do not "lift the dipsy chanty." The principal reason is that few of them THE AMERICAN SHIP SHENANDOAH. epeak English and that the crews are made up of men of various nationali ties. But, chanty or no chanty, outward bound ships are leaving our big ports in even greater numbers than in the old days. Many of them are bound around Capo Horn, where there is just as much frost and snow as ever. They are not all foreign ships either. The largest sailing ship afloat flies the stars and stripes. The largest wooden ship ever built hails from Bath, He., and is still in commis sion, and of the half dozen sailing ves sels which claim distinction as to size three of them were built in a down east shipyard which is famous the world over. It is true that the bulk of the cargo carrying is done by steam in this pro saic age, but it is a mistake to think that the clipper ship has entirely disap peared from the seas or that we no lon ger have a merchant marine worthy of the name. For long distance ocean traffic the sailing ship is still cheaper by far than the steamer, and the American skipper with his Yankee built boat gets his share of the business in spite of the fact that he works at disadvantage when he has a Britisher as competitor. Only the other day two American clipper ships sailed from Philadelphia together on a 10,000 mile race around the Horn to San Francisco. They were the Tacoma and the Indiana, both of Bath, Me. The latter is owned by Ar thnr Sewall, who was the vice presiden tial candidate in the late presidential campaign. One of the arguments against building wooden ships is that they are estimated to last only about 15 years, and this was one of the reasons given by Mr. Sewall a few years ago when he changed from wood to steel shipbuild ing. But the Indiana, on which he pina his faith as one of the fastest ships afloat, was launohed from the Sewall yards 2 1 years ago, and since then has carried untold millions of goods back and forth around the Horn, being still in good condition and able to carry all the sail a captain who has bet half a year's salary on the result of the race cares to spread. The Tacoma is also owned in Bath and has a record of hav ing made the passage from the Philip pine islands to Philadelphia in 120 days. One of the most interesting races on the great ocean course was that sailed between the Susquehanna and the Roan oke, two of the finest of the Sewall fleet and the largest of the American mer chant marine. They left New York harbor together just four days before Christmas, 1893, and sailed through the Golden Gate not half an hour apart on the 22d day of the following April, making the voyage in 122 days. The Susquehanna was the victor, but by so narrow a margin that the skipper of the Roanoke has been longing for another chance at his rival ever since. This was not unusually fast time, but the voyage is seldom made inside of S3 i .1 -Li. THE FIVE MASTER LA FRANCE. 120 days, and considering that the ships had only ordinary weather and that the Susquehanna carried 3,815 tons of coal and the Roanoke 5, 000 tons of general cargo it was not at all slow. There are no very well authenticated sailing records concerning the San Francisco-New York voyage, but it is claim ed that in 1891 the Shenandoah, anoth er big Sewall ship, beat the 90 day rec ord which had been held by the Flying 1 ,k''!r Far Cloud, an old fashioned clipper ship. In 1886 the English ship Glenavon, tea laden, made the voyage from Hongkong to New York in the remarkably fast time of 53 days, which still stands as an unbeaten record. The British, with their modern steel ships, have never been able "to touch some of the records established by our old clippers. They held the records then from and to every port. There was the Northern Light, which was credited With making the voyage from San Fran cisco to New York in 72 days, which is the record time of the steam flier Mine ola, which made the same voyage in the same time in 1892. Then there was the Flying Dutchman, built by Webb, which averaged 12 knots an hour for 16 consecutive days, while the famous Red Jacket made over 325 statute miles a day for a week. Few landsmen realize what immense ships some of these modern leviathans are. The biggest sailing ship afloat to day is probabfy the four masted iron Milled craft which now bears the name of the May Flint, but which used to be known as the Persian Monarch. She was originally a steamer, belonging to the Wilson line, but after being wreck ed on Long Island she was towed to Newport News and converted into a sailing ship. From her stern to the point of her bowsprit she measures 411 feet, and she is 830 feet between perpen diculars. Mere figures do not convey the right idea either. For instance, you would jjrobably say that no ship in the world is large enough ffo take in one of" the skyscraping office buildings of New York, yet the tallest of these structures would fit nicely into the hold of the May Flint, and there would be plenty of room to spare at bow and stem. Of course this does not mean that the hold of the ship is deep enough to accommo date the whole length or breadth of the building, but if the structure could be taken to pieces and stowed under the hatches it would come far from sinking the vessel, or if the May Flint could be stood up on end in Broadway beside the 26 story St. Paul building the bow sprit of the ship would tower over 100 feet above the roof of the architectural wonder of New York. In the matter of cargo capacity these big ships are surprising too. If the May Flint was loading coal at a wharf and receiving, with open hatches, a train load of coal cars at a time, it would take 25 trains of ten cars each, the cars containing 20 tons of coal apiece, to give her a good cargo. The La France, another iron ship, was, up to the changing of the Persian Monarch, the largest sailing ship in the world. She is a five masted, full rigged ship of French build. The La France is 675 feet over all, 49 feet beam and S4 ROUNDING CAPE HORN. teet deep. When loaded to her plimsoll mark, she can carry 6, 100 tons of cargo. The British have built some big iron ships too. One is the Liverpool, a Clyde built boat with four masts and a total length of 883 feet. She has run 14 knots an hour for a whole day. The Palgrave of Glasgow is 322 feet 5 inches from stem to stern and has a width of 49 feet. In the spring of 1888 she made a somewhat remarkable run from Calcut ta to New York, making the passage in 1 06 days with 6,711 tons of cargo stow ed beneath her iron decks. She had phe nomenal weather, however, and the cap tain reported on arrival that "he set stunsails in the China sea and nevei took in a stitch until off Hatteras. With the change from wood to iron have come in other alterations which make the modern merchantman a much different craft from the old clipperhips. Steel wire rigging has supplanted tarred hemp because it is lighter and more dur able. It has its disadvantages though. Hollow steel topmasts and yards are now used instead of the heavy pine tim bers of the old daya They are painted wood color as a rule, and the appearance of the spars is not changed. The old clippers were all three masted ships, but the new ones have four and five masts, all square rigged except the last one, which gees by the name of "tha jigger" and carries a spanker boom. The old time fo'castle has gone too. The crew now inhabit fairly comfort able quarters in the forward part of the midship deckhouse, while the captain and other officers have the after part of the same house. Steam hoisting gear for getting up anchor and warping it another improvement and has reduced the number of sailors from 60, which was often the size of a crew on an old clipper ship, to 80, which is a good sized crew for the biggest of modern, mer chantmen. Perhaps you think that much of the romance has gone too. Well, it may be so. Still, even the biggest and most modern of our sailing ships is good to see. I doubt if you can watch such a ship as, for instance, the Roanoke, when under full sail, with a mile square spread of canvas driving her graceful length through the waves, her house flag flying from the main truck nearly 800 feet above the water, and say that it is a prosaic sight. Cyrus Sylvester. The Growth of London Since the year 1849 there have been built in London 500,852 new house and 1,833 miles of new streets and squares have been formed.

Frrth Brown put a dry goods box out side of his store door at Wichita 11 years ago. It was not a common dry goods box, fragile and made of pine. Not at all. It Was a noble box of ash, which had held a consignment of little shell trinkets, made by a man up In the Superior country. When Farrish B Mit the box out. he had an idea that it be a good place to display his goods, but before the mer chant had selected the goods he was to ar range there Tad, Hunt come along and sat down. "Nice box,'' said Hunt. "Yes," said Brown. There was silence for a few moments. Hunt sat still and looked pensive. 14 seemed as if he were thinkiug. He was a peculiar man and had wandered about the streets for several years in a lost sort of fashion as if he were see"king for some thing. He had never been able to get a job. His wife kept a boarding house, and it was said that Tad was her man of affairs that ia to say, nor steward. But, as a matter of fact, Mrs. Hunt could not trust Tad. She had commissioned him to pu chase the meat, but he had made such bad selections and brought home such dejected looking cuts tlmt she had been obliged to attend to that herself In addition to her other duties. Then she put him at carv ing at table, but he couldn't remember which way the grain of the meat ran. So she had to take that off his hands too. Then it occurred to her that he might split the kindling wood, but after a week or two of that he took to buying patent kin dling wood, and then she gave it up. The day he found this box in front of Brown's he appeared to have attained sat isfaction. After a happy and pensive si lence he began to talk to a man who stood near. "It's a queer world, he said, drawing a knife from his pocket and opening it, "men and women everywhere and nothing but men and women, and nearly all of 'era making one another miserable and nothing to show for It but the grave at last. The places that knew them once know them no more forever and the sun rises each mom and sets each night and none of the questions of roau is annwered. Talk of the sphinx! "Why, every blade of grass is a sphinx and holds a secret. There is not a star in heaven that we are not obliged to question. And what answer have wef Silence. Silence." He was tracing a little border on the box, made of an intertwining of figure 8 's, and thd man who 6tood near watched him and was much interested; so much so that another man who wasn't doing much either stopped, too, and watched the mak ing of the border. Tad looked up and nodded to him. "It is astonishing," went on Tad, "to see how men toil and toil. This man has one scheme and the next man has another. Yet talk with any man over 40 and you find him to be a graveyard of blasted hopes. The struggle has been in vain. Kven success proves to be failure, for no man makes a success which satisfies him. Farrish Brown, having no customers at that moment, came out and leaned against the framework of the door and listened. "And yet," said Tad, "it is the destiny of man to aspire. Some great power be yond himself drives him on to hope. He must rise. He is a part of the scheme of evolution and cannot help himself any more than as if he were a mollusk in the sea. He is driven to settle America, in vent machines, to make laws adapted to wider ideas of liberty. He congratulates himself on his improvement, but he haa really no call to congratulate himself. He is driven by the winds of destiny." He did quite a strip of the border in si lence, wiped his forehead on his shirt sleeve for he wore no coat and repeated with pensive accent: "Driven by the winds of destiny." These remarks were repeated about town by those who listened to them. "Tad Hunt is quite a philosopher in bis way, they said. Tad had staid on the box the first day till noon and returned at 2, after which he left the spot till 6 :45. The next morning he was on hand at 8. Brown thought it looked rather business like to have a crowd about his doors and didn't object much. Besides, he enjoyed Hunt's reflections, which came nearer be ing thought than anything Brown hud met with for some time. He almost thought himself as he listened to theiu, and sum moned from that unused chamber politely denominated his mind sentiments of ap proval or disapproval. As time went on Hunt improved in appearance. To be sure he was no more particular about button ing his cuffs, nor was he more addicted to the wearing of coats, but a certain look of fire and enthusiasm came to his eyes, such as may be seen in the glance of a populaf actor or preacher. He walked down he str9et to his box mornings with an alert step. He became eager for his au dience. Sometimes ho returned in the evening and talked till time for shutting up shop. As the years rolled by his audience changed, but he seemed to always be able to seoure a hearing from some one. Thus it came about that he sat perched on his place of preaching for 14 years and differed from the Kast Indian mystics who do sim ilar things principally in the facta that h went home to his meals and that he de sired to disseminate his views. One morning Hunt came swinging down from his house leisurely, but with a look of self satisfaction, and made his way as usual to the store. There he stopped as if paralysed. A cold perspiration crept out on his forehead. He grew red and then whit. For the box was gone The pulpit was destroyed. The high place was over thrown. There was a crowd about him presently, chafSng him and roaring, but Hunt seemed to hear nothing. He looked about in utter dismay. It was as if a man with all his vineyard on a mountain side had gone to till his vines and found the mountain gone. Then something remarkable happened. Tad brought a suit for damages against Brown. Tho court had to actually consider the case, and Tad Hunt was his own coun sel and put up an eloquent argument. So the court granted him the suit and gavo him a penny. In away Hunt felt himself t Indicated, but that didn't restore his box, for he had been unable to secure a man damus for its return. So he walked about sadly for a few days, looking detached like a protoplasm cutoff from its own par ticular slimy ooze and at last staid in doors at home. After that the boarders began to leave, and one day Irs. Hunt broke up house and took Tad away with heron the train. They didn't say where they were going.

It was announced In Wall street today that representa tives of the New York and Cuban Mail Steamship company are in Washington for the purpose of signing contracts with agents of both the Roach and Cramp shipyards for the construction of two of the largest steamships ever built for the coastwise trade. This statement is made upon the authority of one of the largest stockholders in the company. The new ships are to be fitted out as auxiliary cruisers, to be used by the government in case of war, when they Will carry a full armament. It was said that the steamship com pany is building: the steamers in an ticipation of an early close of the war in Cuba, and with the expectation that the commercial relations between Cuba and the United States will be much closer in. the near future than they have ever been in the past. In Wall street this policy of the company is be lieved to be caused by an intimate knowledge of the administration's plans regarding the Cuban question. HUNTERS IN HARD LUCK.

This will be a frame and Ralph Field, the super intendent, hopes to have it erected as quickly as possible in time to have his boys under its shelter before winter sets in for good, as they are very much cramped in their present quarters. Mr. Phillips also has completed the plans for a hotel to cost about $9,000 for Charles W. Caryl, to be erected by the members of the "New Era Union," of which he is the founder. The hotel -will be the first building built under this new scheme of co-operation. The building will be 100x30 feet and three stories high. It will contain a large sitting room, par lor and dining room and bed rooms suf ficient to accommodate seventy people. There is also every convenience as to lavatories and bath rooms. The build ing will be heated by hot water and lighted by electricity. IT BURNS UP THE SMOKE. A Successful Smoke Consumer Pat ented in Germany. Berlin, Nov. 2. The firm of Kuhut Deissler, of this city has patented a simple smoke consumer, consisting of a fire clay plate to be inserted in the furnace, which is said to effect a com plete combustion of smoke and to aver age a saving of 20 per cent in fuel. An ordinary fireman is able to replace it. Its cost is 400 marks. Experts declare that it will revolu tionize the system of heating by coal. It is reported from Kiel that thorough tests of the invention have been made at the navy yards there with the result that the government has ordered the application of the smoke consumer to all the boilers in use in the navy and negotiating with the inventors for the sole right to use it on steamers. Lieu tenant Niblack, naval attache of the United States embassy, has sent a special report to Washington recom mending the adoption of the invention in the United States navy. The naval attache of the Chinese em bassy has sent a similar recommenda tion to Pekin. i Is it a Bounty P Washington, Nov. 2. A. W.

Ottawa Dafeats Washburn 10 to 4 University of Missouri Loses to Tarkio Schaefer Defeats Maggilo. Chicago, Nov. 2. Wm. Beverly, who left a few days ago for San Francisco, had thi3 to say about eastern racing matters: "I have just returned from New York and the healthy state of turf matters there is shown by the large betting transactions. If anyone had told me that which I myself saw, I would have said: 'No pipestories, please," for the magnitude of betting transactions on the part of well-known individuals is simply astonishing. I had heard that one day this year Joe Ullman had In $34,000 on a race and paid out $40,000 and so was somewhat prepared for big things, still was dumbfounded when on Friday last 'Pittsburg Phil' took $140, 000 out of the ring on three races. He backed Nautch Girl from 20 down to 6, Rhodesia from 15 down to 6, and wound up by placing $50,000 on his own horse, The Winner, knocking his price from evens to 3 to 5. And all these horses winning, he won the $140,000. Just be fore this he had had several bad days, but the more conservative of his inti mates place his winnings on the season at $250,000. "All of the big bookmakers are ahead on the year, and, by the way, I cannot see how they can well be otherwise, as prices are good and money plenty. Har ry Harris, who used to be with George Wheelock, is the biggest fish in the puddle. Last week, one day, making book entry for himself, he lost $40,000, but afterwards said that he was $175, 000 winner on the season. He probably meant that the combination of Riley Grannan, Harry Harris and Charlie Quinn so stood. The latter partner, the young brother-in-law of P. A. Brady, has 20 per cent of the book. These par ties are to go to San Francisco for the winter, while 'Pittsburg Phil' will most likely go to Europe, where now with Tod Sloan is Ed Gaines, a dashing oper ator, known many times to put up 8 to 5 against the favorite and take all money offered, having no other figures on his slate. "They say that 'Pittsburg Phil' bet Joe Ullman $200,000 to $200 that he would not be seen west of the Rocky Mountains inside of three years. Dave Gideon, Mike Dwyer and George Wheel ock is a bettor on election as well as on the horses, and has S12.000 on Tracy at even money to beat Low for mayor of Greater New York. George figures that no independent candidate can ever be elected mayor and says that history points that way. Van Wyck is at 1 to 2 in all the books, and his election is conceded by all the sports. May be the wish is father to the thought, it being generally understood that the faro banks and everything else will go un der a Tammany administration. "Mike Dwyer and John McCafferty are to take their horses to New Orleans to race and John Madden will be seen there early in the year with Hamburg. Frank Eckert of Chicago has made $30, 000 in the east this year and Abe Levy has done well." WILL THE INDIAN REFORH. 'Fire Water" Sockalexis Promises to Make Amends Next Season. Cleveland, Nov. 2. Cleveland has a new kind of gold brick in Sockalexis, the Penobscot Indian. Tebeau still be leves that the red man is one of the league's best players, and is loth to re lease him. But he is utterly unman ageable, and for the last two months of the season rendered no service to the team. The Indian is a bright, intel lectual fellow, and the Cleveland offi cials believe that he will see the error of his ways and turn over a new leaf by next season. When Tebeau's troupe disbanded, Sockalexis sought out President Robin son and made a clean breast of his po sition. He was penitent and penniless, and the generous magnate allowed him to draw his salary for the term of his suspension upon a promise to be in con dition by the spring. "Attend to your work, Sock," said Robinson, "and you will make a hit next year." "I should say I would," replied the redskin. "If I don't make about three hits to a game I am no Indian." Tebeau has but little faith in the strength of Sockalexis' resolution, but hopes that he will adhere to his prom ise. "If he keeps his word about get ting into condition, I think he will lead the league in batting next season," said the Cleveland captain in a recent in terview. "But if he fails to get in trim I will farm him out. Many minor league clubs would be willing to take him as a drawing card, no matter how poorly he played." OTTAWA TOO STRONG. Defeated the Washburn Eleven by a Score of 10 to 4. Ottawa university foot ball team re turned home today with the scalp of Washburn's team hanging from their belt. Score, 10 to 4. Because they carried off the honors of the day is no sign that Washburn was not in the game. Washburn play ed a good game and fought every point of vantage with a stubbornness and pluck that was remarkable. Ottawa was slightly the heaviest, and although slow in starting the play, seemed to hold the balance of power. Ottawa sent her heavy backs and guards through Washburn's line for repeated gains. At other times Wash burn's line was like so many pillars of stone, and Ottawa would lose instead of gain. Part of the time Washburn's line would hold1 the Ottawa team while the wearers of the blue would make good gains around the end. At other times Washburn's line was easily bat tered down before the opposing team and her backs would be brought to the ground before they had fairly started. I Helps Make I Gold.
