TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 10, 1898. OT AN INDIAN TVas Killed in the Battle at Leech Lake resent According to Reports of Friend ly Redskins. A Beautiful DANGER TO THE DAMS About the Headwaters of the Mississippi. 700 Soldiers Now Patrolling the Disturbed Region. St. Paul, Minn., Oct 10. General Bacon's orders for the movement of more troops to the vicinity of Leech lake took ninety men from Fort Snel ling on a special train last night. Two companies of the Fourteenth Minne sota volunteers are held at Duluth ready to start for points along- the Fosston line of the Great Northern, where the two batteries of militia ar tillerymen have preceded them, and another company of the Fourteenth, made up of fifty men from Company E, of Merriam park, and fifty from the guard stationed in charge of Camp Van Dusee, where the Fourteenth is to be mustered out, was ordered to take the 9 o'clock train this morning for points along that same road. These last will take with them the equipment of the two Duluth companies which was left at Camp Dusee when the men were fur loughed. The government is particularly anxious about the danger to the dams at the head waters of the Mississippi, only a small guard having been sta tioned there since the trouble with the Indians came on. Ky tonight 700 sol diers will be scattered all around Leech lake, protecting settlers and property from the possible attack of the uncer tain number of Indians now in arms against the government, because they object to being taken to court as wit nesses in prosecutions for illegal selling of liquor to Indans. Walker, Minn.. Oct, 10. "When the troops reached the agency they found that the friendly Indians had them selves made a picket line covering the whole line of woods which surrounded the settlement. As many as fifty of them have done picket duty. Now that the troops are on the grounds these formal preparations for defense will probably be abandoned, but there will be Indian scouts out all the time, ready to bring prompt warning of anything that even looks dangerous. It is said by those who know them that these agency Indians would not hesitate to kill a hostile as quickly as would a soldier. Last night Mah-Ge-Gay-Bow, one of the head men of the Bear island Indians, arrived on the agency point with twenty-seven canoe loads of the Bear islanders, composing those of them who are for peace. There are seventy-five or 100 In the party, men, women and children. They went into camp about. Ave miles from the agency and Mah-Ge-Gay-Bow called on General Bacon at once. He said that he had told the hostiles on the island that he could not go with them, that he and his friends were for peace with, the white men, and that they were go ing to the agency. "All right," said the hostiles laconi cally, "tell them what we are doing,'" and they allowed Mah-Ge-Gay-Bow to depart in peace. "Kah- Win-Nin-Ge-Ka-Da-Zin," said the old man when he was pressed with inquiries as to the number of histiles, their present whereabouts and their in tentions for the future. This being in terpreted means, "I don't know any thing more about it." Ke did say that, so far as he knew, none of the hostiles were killed in the fight, but they all say that. As to how many Indians were actually on the war path, the agency Indians are disposed to hold the number down to something under 100, and many of them say that there are not over twenty-five or fifty. Dr. Hart has prepared a paper.whic h the Indians are being asked to sign as I last as they come into the agency. It is already signed by more than 10(5 In dians, including a dozen or fifteen of the head ,-nen and chiefs, from Flatmouth down. It reads as follows: "To the Great Father, "Washington. "We, the undersigned the Chippewa Pillager Indians of the Leech Lake reservation in Minnesota, deplore the outbreak of some of our brethren upon this reservation and believing you de sire that justice shall be done in your dealings with us, we have, therefore, resolved in council assembled, to re main loyal to the United States and friendly to our white brethren and we agree to use our influence with our friends and relatives, the Bear Island Indians, to lay down their guns and quietly submit to the authorities of the United States." St. Paul. Minn., Oct. 10. A special from Ferris, Minn., a small town north of Leech Lake, says: A report reached here last evening of the killing of a white man near Bear Island during the day. Settlers living near the Indian reserva tion are seeking shelter in towns along the railroad. A large band of Indians of about 150 was reported camped with in two miles north of this town. Armed citizens are guarding the town. Indians professing to be friendly were at Graceland. one and a half miles west of here, last evening, trying to pur chase ammunition.

Ajteb a Drawing by W. A. Rogers. Reproduced from Harper' Weekly. By Permission. Copyright, 1898, by Harper Brothers. THE TRANS -MISSISSIPPI EXPOSITION. The Transmississippi exposition means eo much and proves so much that It ranks very closely with the Columbian exposition as a revelation to the visitor. One of the most interesting features of the exposition, to an eastern man, is the congress of Indians, which was brought together at the fair through the aid and co-operation of the govern ment. All the principal tribes are represent ed, from the Apaches of the southwest to the Assiniboins and Sioux of the north. An Indian on foot is generally a rather dignified person, but a six foot warrior sitting back almost on the haunches of a disconsolate little pony is about the most ludicrous sight imag inable. Our illustration, for which we are indebted to Harper's Weekly, shows a scene at the Indian congress. Many of the Indians from a distance brought their savage belongings in new tin trunks, and an ancient earthen water-jar rolled up against a new four dollar trunk seemed to strike the sense of humor of most of the visitors. But the greatest contrast furnished by the Indian encampment is with the exposi tion buildings. Here is a tract of land which, up to a year and a half ago, was never disturbed by anything, except a corn plough, since prehistoric times. Over it, no doubt, many of the older Indians now on the expositions grounds spent their boyhood days, shooting at birds and gophers with their bows and arrows. Today, towering around them are gilded "domes, wonderful reproductions and adaptations of the architectural art of the Greeks and Romans, and exhib its of industrial arts such as the world never saw until the four great Ameri can expositions of the present decade. To that particular class of persons who insist that the Americans are not an artistic people such an achievement as this the building of a mimic city of the utmost grandeur and beauty, on this old hunting ground of forty years ago and corn field of two years back ought to be a sufficient answer. Speak ing of American art, it has shown itself in the past few years in an unexpected direction. Foreigners usually tell us that it is impossible for art to flourish here in these days, because this is the age and the country of invention and mechanics. The people of the Transmississippi states have cause to be proud of this exposition of their success in develop ing the agricultural and mineral re sources of the western plains and mountains. They have much to show the president of the United State3 when he comes to visit the fair.much to make him feel a deeper pride in his exalted station. W. A. ROGERS. CLRTIS LAW EFFECTIVE. Regulations For Its Administration Are Completed. Washington. Oct. 10. The regulations for carrying the Curtis Indian territory law into effect in the Choctaw and Chickasaw nations, have been approved by Secretary Bliss. Inspector J. George Wright, who is to be in charge will leave for the territory in a few days. The language of the regulations large ly follows that of the act. They make it the duty of two trustees controlling the mineral leases, to receive, exam ine and forward to the inspector in charge, all applications for lands and on his authority to enter jointly Into such leases; and examine at least once a month, the operations of all persons, corporations, or companies operating mines there, so as to ascertain the min eral production, royalties due, etc. A royalty of not less than 2 cents per cu bic yard for all sand, or gravel depos its; and 10 cents for all stone quarried, is imposed, along with the minerals specified in the act. All royalties shall be payable in lawful U. S. money to the Indian agent at the Union agency, Indian territory, who shnll always be under the direction of the Indian in spector for Indian territory. Selec tions and rentals on prospective allot ments of land, are to be made before the Dawes commission, which is direct ed to open an office in each nation. The other provisions are entirely covered by the provisions of the act. CHILD FORETOLD TRAGEDY Poisoned by Her Mother Who Then Commits Suicide. Dayton, Oct. 10. Minnie L'nesbach. aged 6. residing with her mother, turned over her doil and canary bird to a playmate re siding next door. "Mother and I are go ing to die." said the little girl, "and I want you to have this doll and bird." The gift was accepted, but the statement about uying was not understood by the recipi ent. On the same day the mother turn ed over several articles to a lady neigh bor, stating that she was going away. Even this railed to arouse any suspicion of what had in reality been decided upon by the mother. At 10 o'clock in the morning, when the milkman drove up to the house, he dis covered that the milk delivered on the previous day was still standing on the porch. He proceeded to make an investi gation, and with considerable difficulty succeeded in arousing the husband and father. Carl Linesbach, who occupied a room in the front part of the house, and who was yet under the influence of liquor when awakened. When the bedroom of the mother and daughter, situated in the rear portion of the house, was visited, it was found that both doors were barred on the inside. Forcing an entrance, mother and daugh ter were found lying on the bed in each other's arms cold and stiff in death. Both were fully dresed and the child was held securely in the arms of the mother. On a stand near the bed was found a half emptied cun. containing a mixture of morphine, whisky and sugar. Near it stood a drachm bottle labeled "morphine," two-thirds empty, leaving no doubt as to the manner of death. Coroner Hatcher, who viewed the remains, said that they had been dead at least twenty-four hours before discovery. The husband, who is employed at the Malleable Iron Works, has been drinking hard for some time past, it was stated. This led to difficulties and the institution of divorce proceedings by the wife a short time since. Linesbach said this morning that he had not seen his wife and child for thirty-six hours. Mrs. Linesbach came to this city from Germany about eight years ago. ESTATE TAX AFFIRMED. Geo. Gould Must Pay on the Special $5,000,000 Legacy. New "Fork, Oct. 10. The contest that has been before the courts since the death of Jay Gould, between the state on the one side and his heirs on the other as to the amount of Inheritance tax which should be paid upon the property he left, was de cided in favor of the state by the court of appeals at Albany. After Jav Gould died, in Dei-ember. 1S92, Surrogate Fitz gerald appointed David McClure as ap praiser under the inheritance tax law, and Mr. McClure reported to the surrogate that the gross amount of the Gould estate was $so. 9:14.5". 79 and the amount subject to taxation $73.615.473.0S. As this property was put in trust by Mr. Gould during the lives of his five children, only about 0.iX thereof was immediately liable to a tax. and upon that Mr. Gould's estate paid under protest $578,000. In rep-ard to the provision made by a codicil to Mr. Gould's will, wherein he gave $.".000,000 to George Gould, who, he said, was entitled to it in payment for services. Mr. McClure in his report found that for that amount Jay Gould's estate was indebted to George Gould, and he de ducted the n.'x.OX from the amount of the estate subject to tax. The state main tained that the $5,000,000 gift to George Gould should be subject to tax the same as any other legacy, while the estate claimed that the exacted payment of $."7S, 0t was excessive and that a large propor tion should be returned. The basis of this claim was that the appraiser, in finding the market value of the property, took as evidence of that value the prevailing Stock Exchange price of the stocks and bonds, while the heirs asserted that these prices could not have been realized if ail the property of Jay Gould had been sold at his death. Before the court of appeals the case was argued by David B. Hill, John R. Dos Passns and Edmund Francis Harding for the state and John F. Dillon. Winslow S. Pierce and Harry Hubbard for the Gould estate. By the decision handed down yesterday the state retains the entire amount already paid, while the tax due upon the share of George Gould is increased bv the amount of tax upon the $5,000,000 given to him. DOHA MARRIES AGAIN. Gen. Clay's Divorced Wife Weds a Day Laborer. Keene. Ky., Oct. 10. At 4 o'clock Sat urday afternoon, in the parsonage of the Keene Baptist church, Riley Brock, day laborer, was married to Dora Rich ardson, the divorced wife of Gen. Cas sius M. Clay. "Master of White Hall," and ex-United States minister to Rus sia, Rev. G. W. Argabright, the pas tor, performed the ceremony, and the couple drove back to the little plank home Gen. Clay bought for Dora be fore he divorced her. The license was secured in Versailles. The only wit nesses were several members of the pastor's family. The bride was attired in a gray walking dress Gen. Clay gave her several months ago, while Brock wore a dark suit of store clothes. The hasty marriage Is the outcome of a recent quarrel Dora and Riley had. Last week Riley put on his soldier clothes, went to Valley View and de clared he was going to Lexington to join one of the regiments there, as Dora would not marry him. Dora for gave him and agreed to marry at once. TO AVOID HORRORS. Germany Wants to Compel Steam ships to Follow Transatlantic Lanes Berlin, Oct. 10. The German foreign af- flce, at the instance of the Hamburg- American Steamship company, intends to Invite the governments of the maritime countries to come to an agreement to com pel steamships to follow transatlantic lane routes in order to avoid collisions. New Tork, Oct. 10. The action noted in the foregoing cable dispatch is directly due to the Bourgogne disaster last July, although the subject has long been dis cussed. The day after the news of the disaster came it was announced that the Bourgogne was 110 miles north of her proper course. This was conrmed by the government court of inquiry at Halifax. A new eastern pathway was established in June by the principal transatlantic lines and bv agreement the ships were to go further north than usual at that time of the year, saving coal and time by so do ing. The arrangement was not binding, however, and the Bourgogne went into the path of the sailing craft in order to still further shorten the distance. She did just what scores of other ships do every month, but was unfortunate enough to be struck by the steel-hulled Cromartyshire. It is now proposed to come to an agree ment bv which captains can be forced by international law to keep in a prescribed course. WILL BID FOR BOXES. Sale of Choice Places For Chi cago's Jubilee Ball. Chicago, Oct. 10. Mrs. Potter Palmer and her co-workers in arranging for the jubilee ball have decided to sell the boxes at auction so that a greater ben efit may be derived for the sick sailors and soldiers and their needy families. The auctioneer will be selected today and the gavel will be wielded at the Auditorium on the afternoon of Thurs day, October 15. Many persons have expressed a wil lingness to contribute to the fund more than the $10 for a ticket, and Mrs. Palmer thinks that the selling of the boxes will affort everybody so inclined an opportunity to go deeper into his pocket than the price of admission de mands. Mrs. Palmer took up the reins of management of the ball and spent the greater part of the day in confer ence with Mrs. Henry M. Shepard, vice chairman of the committee and others. The work of completing the list of persons to be invited to the ball was almost completed and it probably will be in such a condition today as to per mit of sending- out the Invitations. Mrs. Palmer expects at least 5,000 persons in the Auditorium when the first strains of music formally inaugurate the event. It has not yet been definitely decided whether or not a grand march will be held. President McKinley will be at the head of the line if it is decided to have one. Frederick B. Tuttle has been se lected as head or the floor committee. He has had considerable experience in directing charity and other pretentious balls held in this city. At a meeting of the committee on speakers and invitations yesterday it was announced that Henry Watterson, the editor of the Louisville Courier Journal, would be unable to deliver a jubilee address. Members of the com mittee expressed much disappointment when Melville E. Stone told them of Mr. Watterson's decision. Among the others who have declined to speak are Secretary of the Navy Long, ex-Governor Scone of Missouri, Justice Brewer, Joseph H. Choate, "Fighting Bob" Ev ans, Congressman Bailey of Texas and Gen. Lew Wallace. Invitations to deliver addresses have been accepted by the following: Ex Secretary of the Treasury John G. Car lisle, Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson, Burke Cockran, Gen. J. H. Wil son, Samuel Gompers, Gen. Henry M. Duffield, Major General Adna Chaffee, Archbishop Ireland, Booker T. Wash ington, Judge Emory Speer, Senator William B. Allison. It is not definitely known yet whether Grover Cleveland will speak or not. Benjamin Harrison has declined to deliver an address. ENTITLED TO SEATS. Deadly J.N.Murdock, 279 Snoderass Street, Dallas, Texas, says: "My son had a terrible Cancer on his jaw, for which the doctors performed a painful operation, cutting down to the bone and scraping it. The Cancersoon returned, however, and was more violent than before. We were advised to try S. S. S. The sec ond bottle made an improvement; after twenty bottles had been taken the Cancer disappeared entirely, and he was curedjpermanently."

Important Street Car Decision by the Brooklyn Supreme Court. New York, Oct. 10. The supreme court in Brooklyn has decided that sur face railroads which issue transfer tickets are obliged to accept the same even if the time limit has expired, pro viding the person holding the ticket has been unable to secure a seat in a car before the time specified has passed. This decision was rendered in the case of John Jenkins, a real estate dealer of 2307 Pacific street, who brought suit against the Brooklyn Heights Railroad company to recover damages because a conductor refused to accept a transfer ticket on which the time limit had ex pired and then put him off the car and had him arrested for causing a disturb ance. On making a statement of the case at the station house Mr. Jenkins was discharged. He then brought suit in the supreme court, and a decision was rendered in favor of the railroad. He appealed and Justice Woodward of the appellate division ordered a new trial on the point outlined above. The second trial ended yesterday and a sealed verdict was handed in. When opened this morning it was found that the complainant was awarded a verdict of $400. MILLS RUN AT A LOSS. Ex-Go v. Sawyer, of New Hampshire Involved in Heavy Failure. Dover, N. H., Oct. 10. The Sawyer Woolen Mills Corporation of this city and the firm of F. A J. Sawyer, who are the selling agents, with headquar ters in Mew York, have made assign ments to Jeremiah Williams of Boston and Alvah W. Sulloway of Franklin, N. H. Mr. Sulloway, who is one of the best known woolen manufacturers in the state, will take charge of the plant. The failure comes as a complete sur prise, as the corporation was supposed to be perfectly sound financially, and for several months past the mills had been running night and day filling gov ernment contracts. Ex-Govffrnor Charles H. Sawyer Is president of the corporation and has been reputed to be the richest man in Dover, his wealth being estimated at several millions. The liabilities are in the neighborhood of $1,500,000. The assets are probably more than $1,000,000. The corporation owns six mills, has thirty-nine sets of woolen machinery and four Noble combs. It employs 600 hands. The mills have been manufacturing about 1,380,000 yards of woollen and worsted goods for men's wear and consumed 2,400,000 pounds of wool yearly. In addition to the mills the corpora tion owns practically the whole of Saw yer's Mills settlement, a station on the Portsmouth and Dover branch of the Boston Maine railroad, consisting of more than .one hundred tenements. Charles F. Sawyer, son of the ex-governor, has been suDerintendent of the mills and Charles H. Foss paymaster. Various causes are assigned in local circles for the failure, some ascribing it to the recent depression in business and others to the taking of contracts at too close a margin in order to keep the mills running. It is a fact that while other mills all over New England have been closed down, Sawyer's have been running on full time and giving steady employment to the help. The mills will be kept running as usu al under the new management. The creditors are mostly banks. SUES ON NOVEL GROUNDS. Pullman Company Blamed For Con sumption Contracted in a Car. El Paso, Tex., Oct. 10. J. M. Edmond son, a prominent attorney of San An tonio, Tex., formerly of Dallas, has sued the Pullman Palace Car company in the United States circuit court here -lor $15,000 alleged damages. The- plaintiff s grounds for the suit are somewhat novel. He claimed that while journeying in a Pullman car from San Antonio to Denver he was drenched with rainwater through a hole in the roof while asleep in his berth. From the effects of the- wetting he says he contracted a severe cold, which resulted in consumption. The case went to the jury at noon today, and as no verdict has yet been reached, the indications are the Jury is hopelessly disagreed. Rock Island Excursion, Omaha, Tuesday, October 11th.

First regi ment at Manila is reported in poor health, sickness Increasing and general desire by men to return home. Four d-ths reported to Sept. 10. Third r'iment at Jacksonville 21 deaths, 172 sick in hospitals, 85 absent on sick leave. Health poor and men desirous of discharge. Many deserving men In each regiment entitled to same favor able consideration. Designation of one entire regiment would work unnecessa ry hardship on many In the other. Have heretofore requested muster out of volunteers in excess of this state's just proportion on basis 100,000, this by battalion or individual discharges, re ducing the company strength from I116 to 81 enlisted men. Muster out of en tire regiment is in excess and at vari ance with my original request.

"A Hot Time In the Old Town" fol lows the American flag wherever 1' goes. The latest thing's in trusts is the one toeing- organized by the nine national banks of Boston. The war department seems to have made another enemy in the person of Governor Clough of Minnesota. The Philadelphia peace jubilee seems likely to be marred by a war between the management and the brass bands. The Oregon senatorship was not for Mr. Corbett. The United States senate would not have him, neither would the legislature. When Mr. Wanamaker started out to purify his party in Pennsylvania, he began at the top by securing the ar raignment of Senator Quay. The long expected has happened at last in the tobacco business. The trust has finally absorbed the big Drummond works at St. Louis valued at $10,000,000. The gold Democratic corpse Is show ing signs of life. An executive commit tee has been appointed to conduct the campaign. People will naturally won der, what campaign? Uncle Sam now has a finger In the postponement of asettlement of matters pertaining to that region until he has time to look after his interests. Workmen in an English manufactur ing town struck the other day because 1 their employes would not consent to their going to see Barnum's "greatest show on earth." The cause of liberty is still advancing. Syracuse Herald: Not long ago Sena tor Hoar contributed a powerful article to the North American Review to dem onstrate that the senate had not degen erated. It was written, however, be fore Senator Kenney of Delaware had been indicted for looting a bank and Senator Quay of Pennsylvania arrested for conspiracy to defraud the state. Senator Hoar now has the floor for a few supplementary observations. Much has been accomplished by tha government and the medical fraternity in the control of yellow fever but the existing situation in Mississippi indi cates that there is a great deal to do yet. The mortality has been greatly reduced as compared with similar epi- demies in years past but the disease has baffled all effort3 to prevent it3 spread. The entire state is now report- j ed to be infected and 20,000 of the in- habitants have fled northward to await the arrival of cold weather, which alone is sure death to the scourge. OUR FAME ABROAD. Under the caption "A New Kansas Invasion," the Philadelphia Times thus discourses of the recent flight of but terflies: Kansas continues to be a state of surprises. It has been devoured by I rasshoppers, has been represented in congress by Jerry Simpson, in the sen ate by Peffer and on the platform by Mary Ellen Lease; it elected Le welling to the governorship and went wild over the forty-cent dollar. Big wheat and corn crops sold at remunerative prices have restored a portion of its inhabi tants to sanity and very largely de creased its mortgage indebtedness, but there is a spell upon Kansas yet. When its inhabitants recover the use of their wits nature continues to play queer pranks. The latest queer phenomenon report ed from Kansas is a swarm of butter flies. They appeared in the neighbor hood of Wichita on Monday afternoon filling the air. and for more than three hours the winged procession passed the j astonished the Kansas gazers, the con stant flutter of so many gaudy wings producing a dizzy sensation in the spec tators. From 3 o'clock until sunset the air was filled with the flying insects as plentifully as with autumn leaves on a windy October day. At sunset the pro cession had passed, end the Kansan heads became steady again. Naturally Kansas people are asking what this butterfly invasion means, and are inclined to attribute it to the for est fires in Colorado. A better guess would probably be that prohibition does not prohibit in Kansas, and that the Kansas bent for rainbow-chasing has got itself mixed up with some beverage not usually found in a water tank, which has changed rainbow tints to gaudy butterflies in the Kansas imagi nation. Perhaps the Colorado fires are to blame, however. We will give Kan sas the benefit of the doubt until furth er proof is furnished. GLOBE SIGHTS tFrom the Atchison Globe. Don't give a friend a five cent cigar: keep it for your enemy. When a business man has had a. good many partners, it is a bad sign. The best way to solve some problems Is to refuse to think or talk about them. It is as difficult to make some people work as It is to make a sluggish liver. Some people who never do anything fery bad, never do anything very good, either. Talk of a man (ailing heir to money Is usually as unreliable aa talk; of a farmer making money at gold mining.

BOOK NOTES. Miss Molly Elliott Seawell's new novel "The Loves of the Lady Arabella" ran through a large first edition on the day the Macmillan company sent it out. The Doubleday McClure company has just ready Hamlin Garland's Life and Character of General Grant," which is really the first personal life of the great commander and which has occu pied the author's time for the last three years. It is said that Mr. Garland's quest for his material has carried him over some 35,000 miles, he having visited every place where Grant ever lived, made trips to all the battlefields, and talked personally with all the general's intimate friends still living. In view of these extraordinary labors and of the fact that the author has had access to manv unpublished letters it is no won der that the volume, with its wealth of pictorial matter, throws many fresh lights upon the soldier president who was for so long the chief figure in the United States. The wonderful progress which the south has been making in all lines of industrial, commercial and intellectual development has been fittingly set forth in the magnificent volume, which, after months of careful preparation, has just been issued by the Southern railway. This book, the title of which, "The Em pire of the South." conveys an idea of its character, is one of the most com prehensive and at the same time ar tistic publications. It contains nearly 200 octave pages, over 400 expuisitely printed illustrations, and makes a pre sentation of southern interests in all lines of human activity, which for thor oughness of treatment has never been approached. The author of the work, Mr. Frank Presbrey, is well known by many To pekans. For the first year, the Doubleday McClure company may fairly be said to have established an unusually strong list of books. Their catalogue includes, besides the Kipling volume, Henry George's complete works. Jokai's "The Nameless Castle," Neltje Blanchan'a very successful "Bird Neighbors" (now in i s twei tieth thousand) Dr. W. J. Hol land's "The Butterfly Book," Stephen Crane's "The Open Boat," Grant Allen's "Flashlights on Nature." a translation of Edmond Rostand's famous "Cyrano de Bergarac." Miss Wilkins' "The Peo ple of our Neighborhood," Dr. George Adams Smith's "Life of Henry Drum mond." the dainty "Temple Dickens." as well as volumes by Mrs. Burton Har rison. Joseph Hocking, Samuel J. Par sons, General Miles, Colonel Waring and so on. The article In the October Scribner"s on the "Battle of San Juan," by Rich ard Harding Davis, is not only a vivid description of that famous victory but a complete and careful analysis of the conduct of the whole Santiago cam paign. He points out with clearness the problems involved, shows the lack of adequate preparation, and says that the final success obtained was due to the splendid and persistent valor of the troops who fought under the most try ing and dangerous conditions, com bined with the destruction of Cervera's fleet by the navy. Mr. Davis places the blame where he believes it is due, and at the same time gives all credit to the men who did the real work. It is a deliberate and conscientious history of the campaign. A monthly cook book with the newest as well as most reliable recipes, menus, decorations, entertainments and so forth, is to be had in "Table Talks." A sample copy may be secured free by ad dressing Table Talk Publishing Co., Philadelphia, Pa, The Macmillan company will publish at an early date, for the Columbia Uni versity Press, a concise outline of the life work of Bismarck, by Frof.

Dr. Hedin is a Swede, a native of Stockholm, and still in the prime of early manhood. As a preparative for scientific research he made three preliminary journeys into Asia, and in 1S93 started on his trip through Asia, an account of which ap pears in the October number of Har- Painful Ulcers Troubled with Them for tha Past Ten Years Purifying the Blood with Hood's Sarsaparilla Effects a Cure.

I decided to try Hood's Barsaparilla, and when I had taken two bottles I could see a change for the better. I have now taken four bottles and the ulcers are well.

Holt Schooling, continuing his fascinating and instructive series of pa pers on "Crime," in the Pall Mall Ga zette, tells in the October number of the magazine how burglars "get in." He writes that the window Is by far the most favored way of entry, and that the proportion of each mode of entry out of a hundred burglaries is: by window, 72; by door or fanlight, 19; by false key, 7; by area grating, etc., 2. These records, which are not without Interest to peace able citizens, show very plainly the ne cessity of seeing that the windows are securely fastened before one goes to bed.

American Book Company, New York, Cincinnati and Chicago. This book i3 an object demonstration of a new meth od for making the study of geography Intensely interesting.

Boston and va rious cities, districts and portions of the country are treated in a story form, the resources of the different states and countries are related in an impressive and interesting manner. "When the Birds Go North Again" is the title of a volume of verse by Mrs Ella Higginson, to be published imme diately by the Macmillan company. Mrs. Higginson has prepared her readers for these verses by the imaginative quality of her stories. These poems show the author on another side of her genius which has already won so favorable a reception for her "Land of the Snow Pearls" and "A Forest Orchid." For some years there has been a demand for a manual of etiquette which should be written by some one of au thority and be brought directly up to date. Messrs. Herbert S. Stone Co. of Chicago announce that "Etiquette for Americans" by "A Woman of Fash ion" fills exactly this want. It is a sensible book and does not try to force ultra fashionable rules on every one, but it is still adequate for those who wish to know fashion's last edict. The identity of the writer is naturally not disclosed. A woman whose position made her an absolute authority on the subject would naturally wish to avoid the notoriety of her own name on the title page. "The Underground Railroad from Slavery to Freedom," by Wilbur H. Siebert, associate professor of European history, Ohio State university, with an introduction by Prof. Albert Bushnell Hart, Harvard university, is the title of an interesting work to be brought out by the Macmillan company at an early date. This is the first attempt at a systematic study of the efforts and results of the efforts put forth by abo litionists during a period of more than sixy years in behalf of hundreds of slaves that sought and received free dom by flight. The volume is illus trated with portraits of well-known "conductors" and "passengers," repro ductions of typical stations, etc., besides facsimiles, maps and the like. Years have been spent in accumulating ma terial from the most reliable sources, and the fascinating narrative can be depended upon for entire accuracy. The appendix contains a list of notable fugitive slave cases, a directory of more than 3,000 names of underground oper ators arranged alphabetically by states and counties and a bibliography. The title of Mr. Marion Crawford's new book is "Ave Roma Immortalis." Studies from the Chronicles of Rome, in two volumes. The author was born in Italy, where his childhood and youth were spent in the Eternal city. An im mense amount of information has been brought together in a convenient form, while Mr. Crawford's enthusiasm for his subject, together with his skill and experience as a novelist enable him to breathe life into the shadowy figures of legend and romance. There are thirty full-page illustrations' in photo gravure of rare and historic scenes, and one hundred other illustrations which have been especially drawn for the text. The Macmillan company will publish it at an early date. The Doubleday McClure company Is about to celebrate its first anniversary by issuing what Is unquestionably an event of the year in the publishing world, Mr. Kipling's new book. The volume is called "The Day's Work" and contains a dozen stories which repre sent the high-water mark of Mr. Kip ling's genius thus far, including as they do examples of his most mature and most varied work. They range from the sheer imagination and dream quali ty that distinguish "The Brushwood Boy," to the notable group of tales em bodying the author's own contribution to the "Song of Steam," and dealing as only a great genius could deal with the throbbing engines of the ocean steamer I and the railway locomotive that play such a vital part in modern civilization, j Mr. Kipling has been working over tnis volume for the last three or four years. LEXOW MAY BE A JUDGE. He la to Be Named to Fill Van Wyck's Unexpired Term Brooklyn, Oct, 10. There Is already a scramble in Brooklyn for the successor ship of Justice Van Wyck. His res ignation from the bench was filed yes terday in Albany, and right on its heels went "Mike" Dady from Brooklyn to ask the governor to appoint Frederick Ward to fill the unexpired term. It was reported yesterday that Gov ernor Black would name Senator Lex ow. Mr. Ward is supported by Dady, and ex-Senator Charles H. Rus sell is being backed by Walter B. At terbury and Lieutenant Governor Woodruff. On account of this scramble other Republicans outside of Kings county say that the charces for Lexow's success are made stronger, as it is rep resented to the governor that he would not add to the harmony In the party if he selected either of the Brooklyn men.

Foul Play Suspected but Evidence Is Found. No BODY CUT TO PIECES. SeTeral Memphis Trains Passed Orer the Remains. Was Assistant Superintendent of Topeka Reform School. Kansas City, Kan., Oct. 10. The mangled body of Charles A. Sowers of Wichita, formerly assistant superin tendent of the state reform school at Topeka, was found in the railroad yards in this city. The last known of Sowers in life was when he started home to Wichita after spending a part of the w-eek attending the Kansas City festivi ties. The body was found near the Memphis tracks in Rosedale and an in quest was held by Coroner Glasscock of Wyandotte county. The jury found that Sowers came to his death in a manner unknown to them Although the body had been run over by several trains there seems to have been a possibility that the unfortunate man was the victim of foul play. It is believed that such was true and that the body was placed on the track to conceal the crime. Sowers left Kansas City presumably last Wednesday for Wichita on the San ta Fe. The fact that the body was found several days thereafter at a point far out of the way of such a journey adds also to the mystery con cerning the death. Sowers was assistant superintendent of the state reform school at Topeka until complications compelled him to re sign and James Butler, the present in cumbent was elected to take his place. About the time Sowers left the in stitution a son, who was considerable of a rover in a quiet way, was found dead with a bullet hole In his head, in a corn field in Smith county. He was a jeweler by trade and had gone to the northwest part of the state in search of work. LOOKING FOR A LEAK. Kan sans Will Station Inspectors at Kansas City Elevators. Kansas City, Oct. 10. The Kansas Grain Dealers' association, which has 393 members in Kansas, will put a num ber of men in Kansas City to see the weighing of the grain as it comes in from Kansas and discover, if possible, why there are discrepancies between the weight as it leaves its starting point and that which the Kansas City elevator receipts show. This was definitely decided upon after a series of meetings and talks which have extend ed over the past several months. For some three days the board of directors of the association have been in Kansas City. These are N. B. Hiatt, of Willis, president;, E. J. Smiley, of Concordia, secretary; H. Work, of Ells worth; L. -Cortelgow, of Muscato, and Frank Tomen, of Summerfield. The board had a meeting in the Commercial club room, at which a number of ele vator men and members of the board of trade were present and the matter was talked over as it has been a num ber of times during the summer. The Kansas grain dealers complain to the association that frequently their grain shipped to Kansas City does not weigh out as much as it should, making al lowance for all reasonable shrinkage. The Kansas City elevator men and board of trade and commission men point out that there are a number of ways this might occur without fault on the part of the Kansas City dealers or elevators. They say that frequently the country buyer does not know the exact weight of his car when it leaves home. He weighs carelessly or figures hasti ly, or even guesses, and should not be surprised if he gets a good way from the mark at times. Secretary Smiley acknowledged that this might be the cause of the trouble in some cases. He himself knew of men who "weigh their car with a tapeline." That is, they measure the cubic feet of grain and "figure" It in that way, which, of course, is far from accurate. Then the Kansas City men say a large portion of the cars in which grain is shipped from the west are not fit for that purpose. Their floors are so open as to let grain through, their grain doors do not fit and can not be closed properly, and from other imperfections in the cars the grain can commence leaking out of the car at its initial point and keep it up all the way to Kansas City. Secretary Smiley acknowl edged this fact also, and the discussion brought out the statement that some of the grain cars furnished on some of the branch roads in Kansas are scarce ly tight enough to ship live stock in without a risk of the animals getting away. WOMEN" SUFFRAGISTS MEET. Fifteenth Annual Convention to Be Held at Paola. Eureka, Oct. 10. Katie R. Addison, president of the Equal Suffrage associ ation of Kansas, has issued a call for the fifteenth annual convention of the Kansas Suffragists to be held at Paola on October 21 and 22. For the first time for a number of years two of the na tional officers, Susan B. Anthony and Carrie Chapman Catt, will be present and will speak in the evenings of both davs. The convention of the Kansas Suf fragists promises to be an interesting one, as among the noted advocates of woman's rights who will address the convention will be Miss Susan B. An thony, president of the national associ ation, and Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, chairman of the national executive committee. The above two suffragists are in the west and will invade South Dakota before their return to the east as an important suffrage measure is to be acted upon by the legislature of that state soon. PREDICTS HIGHER WHEAT. C. "Wood Davis Says Shortage Means Advance in Prices. Abilene, Kan., Oct. 10. In a personal letter, C. Wood Davis makes some pre dictions as to the Immediate future of wheat prices. After recalling the ac curacy of his prediction of last year, he says as to the next few months: "My opinion is that prices are, be cause of the persistent exaggerations of interested parties grain gamblers, both in America and Europe, and buyers of grain in Europe little likely to advance materially until a large part of the 0 Come in NRURU TUESDAY, OCTOBER THERE WILL Our Milliner, Mrs. M.

If the crop of Russia is no better than now indicated, the year's harvest world's harvest is likely to prove largely de ficient, with no considerable stores of old grain anywhere in the world. In fact, even the European trade journals, that always try to minimize demand and exaggerate the available supply, agree in stating the remainder from former world's harvests are the smallest ever known. In view of these facts, and the related one that the wheat of 1S9S went into consumption from two to four weeks earlier than usual, and thus must meet nearly thirteen months' re quirements, there is little probability of prices remaning low until another harvest unless, as the Mark Lane Ex press contends, the Russian out-turn Is 60.000,000 bushels greater than in 1897, and the growing world's crop promises unusually well when the spring growth of 1S99 begins." KANSAS STORIES IN FRENCH. Mme. Bentzon-Blanc Translates and Eulogizes "William Allen "White. New York, Oct. 10. The Paris corres pondent of the Commercial Advertiser says: Mme Bentzon-Blanc has presented our new writer, Mr. Wm. Allen Wite to the continental public in the mid September of the Revue des Duex Mondes, by means of a most interest ing article in which she has collected the essence of his fresh and vigorous little volume, "The Real Issue." She deals with stories of Kansas in partic ular. The stories are not translated at length, but in parts, and the connecting links merely summarized. Mme. Bent zon says that it was not easy to choose from among the stories, as they were all so good, and that she had nothing to do but to put Mr. White to her wide circle of readers and allow him to do the rest for himself with the little book, in which he shows his deep and poetic understanding of lives that seem so commonplace to the commonplace, may I say? It was delightful to read these western episodes in French ,to feel their individuality, enjoy their unique savor and rejoice in their crisp fresh ness, racy with elements of a virgin soil in a tongue that usually brings its read ers more carefully elaborated studies of a far more complex form of society, for there is no parallel in France for a sketch like "The King of BoyviUe," and "Aqua Pura." 39,420 LBS. OF CATTLE STOLEN. 27 Head of Fine Cattle Missing From a Pasture. El Dorado, Oct. 10. Twenty-seven head of fine, fat cattle that average 1, 460 pounds each, are missing from A. J. Holderman's pasture near Chelsea. Yesterday morning he discovered that they were gone. He traced them as far as Mr. Osburn's, a neighbor who lives near. The cattle were heard there in the night, but when some one went out with a lantern, they ran away. Since then, no one has seen them. Whether they have strayed or were stolen is a mystery though it is believed they were stolen. The cattle are described as fol lows: 11 black polled; 3 white faces; 5 roans; 8 red. All of the cattle are de horned except one red and one roan. Two of the roans and one red are branded H on the right hip. ELECTRIC LIGHT FOR HORTON. Cleveland, O., Company Will Put in New Plant.

It is not generally known that on the signing of the peace protocol the enlistment of volunteers un der the president's second call for troops was suspended, except that a few good cooks would still be taken if they offered themselves, as the volunteer army is pain fully short of that material. The rul of war forbid, pending negotiations for a plan of evacuation in Cuba, the strength ening of the force actually in hostile ar ray, beyond the mere keeping of the regi ments up to the normal standard. As the military phase goes, the status of tha armies which are "within striking dis tance" of each other must remain un changed until the business Is complete. There can be no objection on either side, however, to strengthening the reserves, building or improving fortifications and the like, as long as it is out of the im mediate arena of action. Meanwhile, although there has been no actual suspension of recruiting for the regular army, no effort is making to push it. Desirable men are accepted whenever they offer themselves, and lust now there is a little "boom" on. It is probably in duced by the evidence forthcoming from so many Eources, since the fire of criti cism opened on Secretary Alster, of how much better the regular armv fares fhan the volunteer army. Up to the latest re ports the regular armv had swelled to somewhat more than 50,000 men, leaving between 10.000 and J 1,000 men still to ba got in order to bring the army to its legal luaximum. CAPTCItED AND MARRIED. Thrilling Experience of Woman Who Now Seeks Divorce. Butte. Mont., 10.

The young woman has so far successfully con cealed her other name. She was formerly an actress and married a man in Denver, with whom she disagreed, and left him, coming to Butte last July. She visited friends on a ranch near Elk horn. Mont., and there met a stage driver Edwin Ivev, who drives a stage between Helena and Elkhorn. He became Infatu ated with her and wanted her to marry him. She refused and told him she was already married. He opened and read let ters she received from her husband, and knew that she was telling him the truth, but still he insisted that she should marry him. She claims that her friends also urged her to do so, but she still refused. She was guarded and prevented from making her escape. One day. July 30. Ivsy came to the house with a marriage license and a preacher, and told the young woman to prepare for the marriage.

HILL SHOT. Mysterious Accident at Osawkie Sat urday Night Hock Creek, Kan.. Oct. 10. Dr. Hill of Osawkie sustained a painful injury Sat urday niht about 12 o'clock, being shot through the leg. The shooting is somewhat of a mys tery as he had been enjoying himself wit some of his friends here and start ed home shortly before the hour above mentioned and returned in a few min utes for medical treatment. Dr. Cross dressed the wound and found it was caused by a bullet of Jargre calibre, the ball passing through the entire calf of the leg, not injuring any bones.

The train was a handsome one of four cars including the sleepers Socrates and Dromio, the dining car Gilsey and the combination car Brutus. The party is scheduled to arrive in Chicago at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning. From the Baltimore Ohio station the other train left a few minutes after 8 o'clock. Aboard it were General Miles and other army officers, the members of the diplomatic corps and the repre sentatives of the press.

The attention of Judge Hazen and the jury in the dstrict court is taken up today with the case of Louis Charow has against Dave Burge and John Wil kerson. Charowhas is the Greek who keeps the confectionery store at the corner of Fifth and Kansas avenue, and he is suing Burge and Wilkerson for $50 damages and the return of five barrels of hop tea tonic and four kegs of cider.

The state failed to make the charge stick, and the Greek was discharged. This is the first case on the civil docket of the district court. The reg ular criminal docket was concluded with the convi-.'tion of Hummer Satur day evening. SOT AN ELDORADO. Admiral Miller Gives Some Advice About Hawaii. San Francisco, Oct. 10. Rear Admiral Miller, who will retire from the navy on October 15. says he will stop at his old home in Ohio on his way east, but will probably reside part of the time in San Francisco. He warns people against going to Honolulu in the ex pectation of making their fortunes. He says: "The simple fact that the form of government is going to change has not opened up additional resources or ex tended any which have been in exist ence. There are no new positions for people who go in, and there are not likely to be any." The admiral, however, thinks there is a great future in store for the islands. He will turn his flagship, the Phila delphia, over to Commodore Kautz.who will succeed him on the Pacific station. After being overhauled at the Mare Island navy yard, the cruiser will prob ably be sent either to Honolulu or Samoa. Certificates of Nominations. The certificates of nomination of the different state tickets will be sent out by the secretary of state to the county clerks over the state today. There are five tickets entitled to go on the official ballot the Populist, Democratic, Re publican. Socialist Labor andProhibition. The tickets are full except the Prhibi tion, which lacks nominees for associ ate justice and attorney general. Three of the tickets, the Republican. Populist and Democratic, are headed by associ ate justice and the other two by gover nor. The secretary of state sends them out in the order in which they were filed. The order in which the tickets appear on the official ballot is arranged by the different county clerks according to the vote polled by the different par ties two years ago.

A Big Meeting is Assured for the Present "Week. A' few straggling Odd Fellows are ar riving in Topeka but the main body will come tomorrow. The encampment which comprises one of the higher degrees of Odd Fellow ship will hold a special meeting to night in Representative hall, but their regular meeting will not commence un til tomorrow morning. A school of in struction is being held today in the Odd Fellows temple on Quincy street. Ed T. Rees of Leavenworth, grand scribe of the encampment says that he expects about 150 delegates in Topeka to attend the encampment. This body will have little except routine business to transact and the Odd Fellows home question will not be considered. Secretary D. W. Kent of the Grand Lodge says that there will be about 600 delegates present to attend the Grand Lodge. They will commence to arrive Tuesday afternoon and all the delegates will be present for the initial meeting Wednesday morning. It is ex pected that the Grand Lodge will com plete its work and adjourn on Thursday evening. The Odd Fellow home question Is by far the most important one to be con sidered and the location of the home will naturally open up a rivalry which will make the meeting at least inter esting. L. G. Beal of the local committee to secure the location of the home for To peka says that he feels greatly en couraged. There will be a meeting of the local lodges this evening when the preliminaries will be arranged and a canvass of the resources of the local committee will be made. Mr. Beal says that he does not know just how much money in pledges has been secured, but he thinks that there will be enough when the meeting of the local lodges is held this evening to put Topeka in good position to capture the home. Mr. Beal says that those who will furnish teams to take the delegates out to inspect the proposed Odd Fellows home should have them at the west en trance to the state house at 3 o'clock Wednesday afternoon as that is the time when the local committee will re quest an adjournment of the Grand Lodge for the purpose of visiting the property. Aside from the vote on the Odd Fel lows home the most interesting thing that will come u?j for consideration will be the election of a grand warden. The Grand Lodge elects its officers by send ing blanks to the lodges and allowing them to vote and return the result. J. A. Colaw of Chanute was elected grand master, D. W. Kent, grand secretary, and John M. Bright, deputy grand mas ter without any trouble but there were nine candidates for grand warden and no one of the candidates received 40 per cent of the vote cast as required by the rules governing the elections. X. M. Penwell of Topeka has the highest number of votes and M. B. Nicholson of Council Grove was second. Mow the Grand Lodge will have to de cide the matter and an interesting con test is expected. The reception committee appointed by the local lodges has established headquarters at 623 Kansas avenue where the visitors will be received and assigned to rooms. The room has; been decorated with emblems of the order and red, white and blue bunting. SPAIN IS POWERLESS. Loss of All the Philippines is Now Accepted. Madrid, Oct. 10. The eventual loss of the entire Philippine group is now accepted as a fact by the premier, Sen or Sagasta, and his followers. It has been learned that as late as last Tues day the government attempted to pre vail upon France to exert her influence and prevent, if possible, the yielding of the islands to the United States. Ger many and certain other powers were counted on to bring to bear pressure, but all of the hopes of Sagasta and his ministers have now vanished, for France while expressing sympathy for Spain, declined to hold out encourage ment in any form. The disappointment is a most bitter one for Spain and the queen regent. The cabinet ministers have recently, it is said, conferred, and practically ac knowledged that the case of Spain i3 hopeless. The last hope was that the powers might bring about the settle ment of the Philippine question by in ternational conference in case the Uni ted States should insist upon anything in excess of a coaling station. The ex pected Influence has not materialized, and it is now realized here that -the French government, aware of the in tention of Spain ultimately to dispose of whatever can be saved from the Philippine wreck to the highest cash bidder, would rather see the whole archipelago annexed outright by the United States than have it remain a bone of contention, with the likelihood of its being some day transferred to Germany. Such, at least, is the present situation, subject, of course, to modifi cations when the American demands are actually known in detail. A rise of a few points has taken place in the 6 per cent Philippine bonds.whieh are held almost exclusively at Madrid, Barcelona and Manila, and are largely in the hands of Jesuits and the mon astic orders which have relations with the Philippines. FIRES BREAK OUT AGAIN. Snow in Colorado Only Checked Them Temporarily. Marble, Colo., Oct. 10 The big forest fires are gaining momentum again, the fall of a snow a week ago in the Elk mountain range having proved only a temporary check. The cattle herds are being removed from the Muddy mead ows, as prairie fires are sweeping them. The intermountains country is ablaze in several places, one of the heaviest of fires devastating the country between Slate and East rivers and the Pittsburg breakers, and the town of Gothic ia again threatened. A big blaze has been started on Bellevue mountain, on the Maroon trail of East Rocky creek. From the West Elk mountains come reports of a nar row escape of a party of crystal pros pectors who had to move camp three times in one night. Great clouds of dense black and white smoke hang over the valley bj day. and at night the heavens are mirroring red, ominous looking glares. DEATHS AND FUNERALS. The body of Mrs. A.

The members of the state board of charities are holding a meeting at the state house this afternoon to select a. successor for Mr. Wetmore as superin tendent of the Topeka insane asylum. The most prominent candidate before the board and the one who, it seems likely, will secure the appointment, is Dr. L. D. McKinley. of Topeka. Dr. McKinley was a candidate for the po sition when Wetmore was appointed, but was given a physician's appoint ment instead. "Dr. McKinley has frequently re marked that in case there is ever a va cancy in the superintendency he would like the place," said Frank Shane, sec retary of the board of charities, this morning. "In his connection with the asylum as a physician he has kept free from the troubles in which the others have engaged and he is well thought of." Dr. Pilcher of the state asylum of imbeciles at Winfield, came to Topeka as soon as he heard of Wetmore's resignation, but members of the board of charities claim that he is not an ap plicant for the superintendency and will not be elected to the place. SANTA FE STEAMSHIPS. North German Lloyd Going to Supply Them. San Francisco, Oct. 10. Leading men of California, who are in a position to acquire inside intelligence regarding certain enterprises for the extension of the commerce of the Pacific coast, as sert that arrangements have been per fected between the North German Lloyd Steamship company and the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe system of railways for a through line by rail and steamer from New York via San Francisco to Japan and China. The steamship com pany has long contemplated the estab lishment of a new line on the Pacific, but owing to the lack of desirable rail way competitions has not been able to compete with the Pacific Mail. The extension of the San Joaquin Valley road from Bakersfield to Lea Angeles now will give a through line independent of the Southern Pacific system from New York to San Francis co. Last Thursday evening Herman Oel richs left this city for Bremen Dr. Wiegand, managing director of the German steamship line, left here about the same time for the Orient, via Vic toria. It is said that Oelrich3 has been devoting his time in San Francisco for several months In aid of the new enter prise. He will return from Bremen within five weeks. The new through line from New York to San Francisco will, it is helieved, benefit the commerce of this port. HE KNEW IT WAS LOADED. But Joseph Corcoran Pointed His Re volver at a Companion. Carlyle, 111., Oct. 10. While a party composed of Joseph Corcoran, Scott Crabtree, Leila Shade and Rosa Smith were rambling in the cemetery Corcoran exhibited a revolver and the party closed about him to examine it. Cor coran playfully pointed it at Miss Smith. She jumped aside but the fire arm was discharged and the bullet en tered Miss Shade's thigh. She fainted away. Corcoran supposed he had killed her, walked away a few steps, placed the muzzle of the revolver to his left temple and blew out his brains. The young woman was taken- home and is in a precarious condition. Cor coran was 20 years old and Miss Shade is 19. WEYLER'S BIG SCHEME. W onld Unite Spain and Portu gal In a Republic. New York. Oct. 10. The Madrid cor respondent of the Tribune telegraphs his paper, among other things, the fol lowing: "General Weyler, whose recent arri val here from the Balearic Islands caus es considerable uneasiness in circles friendly to the dynasty, is believed to have at least made his choice between the Carlists and the Republicans and to have cast his lot with the latter. It is learned from sources that have hither to proved trustworthy that Weyler is zealously working with a newly formed committee, whose sphere of activity is Portugal as well as Spain, and whose aim it to proclaim after the signature of peace an Iberian republic, uniting the whole peninsula, with Weyler as pres ident."

This visit has been the happiest period in my life." END OF THE CASE. The Kesson-Keith Blackmail Suit is Dismissed.

Detective Mintz says tbjat at the time he knew Mrs. George she told him Sax ton had promised to marry her as soon as she could get a divorce from her hus band. About a year ago Mrs. George was ar rested and brought here on the charge of having sent an obscene letter to Sax ton through the mails. She was after ward indicted and her case was to have come to trial at the approaching term of the United States court. Mrs. George was out on bail, her bond having been signed by Mayor Rice, of Canton, who has been retained as one of the lawyers to defend her against the charge of murder. In the letter upon which the arrest of Mrs. George was secured, she expressed her jealousy of Mrs. Eva Althouse, be fore whose home the murder of Saxton occurred, and in the letter she also threatened to kill Saxton unless he car ried out his promise to marry her. PHILIPPINE BONDS. A Sudden Rush to Buy Them Made In Paris. By James Creelman. Paris, Oct, 10. (Copyright, 1898, by W. R. Hearst.) It is possible that the scandal about the mismanagement of our army during the war may be suc ceeded by a greater scandal about the negotiations for peace .in Paris. It was ex-Secretary "Day who made the motion in joint session of the Spanish-American commission that the pro ceedings be kept an absolute secret. This secrecy is maintained, not only with respect to the joint sessions, but also covers separate meetings of the American commissioners. Not only is the American public to be kept in utter ignorance of what the United States will propose to Spain as a basis of peace, in order that the pend ing congressional elections may not be affected, but a few choice spirits have apparently been let into the secret of the situation so rigidly guarded from the public. In consequence, a ring has been form ed to buy Philippine bonds, and the market is being scoured for them. I discovered two days ago that powerful friends of both Spanish and American commissioners had received inside in formation that the United States will insist upon annexing the whole archi pelago, and would assume responsibil ity for the Philippine debt, although the interest on the bonds might be reduced from 6 to 4, or even 3 per cent. I know tat communications on the subject of these bonds have been passing between Paris and Madrid. In order to test the situation, I tried to buy some Philippine bonds in Mad rid through French agents. I at once discovered that a powerful movement was on foot to gather up the Philippine bonds. This is one of the most suggestive results of Day's scheme of secrecy. Under its shelter gigantic combinations seem to be form ing enterprises that would be impos sible were the air and sunlight of pub licity let into the main features of the negotiations.

TODAY'S MARKET REPORT. Furnished by the Associated Press to the State Journal. Chicago. Oct. 10. WHEAT An advance of liild today at Liverpool, said to be due to political complications between France and Eng land over Nile territory, started wheat hprp tiisrber. "First trades showed a eain of Ta&lHc over Saturday's close, December selling at t:fab3',c. snorts were large buyers at the opening, and when it be came known that the Russian shipments had fallen off about 600.000 bushels less than the week previous and 700.000 bushels less than the same week last year the demand became so urgent that the price was bid up to 64c. On this rally the north west sold freely and as buyers appeared to have acquired sufficient for the time being, December was forcd back to CjC. Chicago received 4M7 cars, none of which graded contract. Receipts in the north west were 1.5o2 bushels against 2,448 last week and 1,470 a year ago. World's ship ments last week were 7,000.000 bushels, as compared with 8,000.000 bushels the year before. Wheat on passage showed a de crease of 400,000 bushels. An improved demand for cash wheat sent the price of December up once more to 62'U63c, but the market did not hold and gradually receded again to 631-2C CORN Expectation of a drop in the Oc tober condition in the government report tonight started corn at an advance. The rally in wheat also was an inliuence as any embroglio abroad over disputed terri tory would affect the price of corn as well as wheat. Receipts were large, how ever, 1.364 cars and traders sold causing a slight recession from the early advance. Elevator people were inclined to buy. De cember opened fa&c higher at 29fa30c and held fairly steady at 25.'iI29T4c. OATS Oats followed the other grains. Receipts were 6Si cars. May began ac up at 22"krg23c and a good business was done at 22v&c.
