LAST EDITION THURSDAY EVENING. TOPEKA, KANSAS, JUNE 15, 1899. THURSDAY EVENING. TWO CENTS. I I OPENS JN PARIS. Commission to Arbitrate Vene zuelan Controversy Holds First Formal Session In French Capital. JUSTICE D. J. BREWER And Chief Justice Fuller Mem bers of the Court. Ex-President Benjamin Harri son One of the Attorneys. Paris, June 15. The first formal meeting of the Venezuela arbitration commission opened this morning. The weather was cool and the sky was clouded. The arbitrators, counsel and others began assembling in the foreign office shortly before eleven. They were re ceived by the foreign minister, M. Ielcasse in the apartment in which the tribunal will sit. These are the rooms used at the meeting of the Spanish-American peace conference and during the Eering sea arbitration. The main room is an oblong chamber luxuriously decorated. having rich mouldings on the walls and ceilings end heavy gilt ornamentations relieved l.y fresct.es in light tones. The ceiling is light blue and in Its center are mag nificent gilt chandeliers. On a raised iais at the end of the room, facing the entrance, are fl-e massive gilt arm chairs for the arbitrators with a table In front of them. Below the dais are half a dozen long tables, placed across the room, for counsel and the clerical staff. All the furniture is upholstered In bright red with gilt frames. A large colored map of the disputed territory Jiangs on the wall to the right of the arbitrators with a smaller may of the whole of South America beside it. Altogether there were about 40 per sons connected with the tribunal pres ent. The arbitrators and most of their Ftaffs were dressed in frock coats. There were less than a dozen specta tors in the portion of the apartment roped off for the general public and tiH.lt a dozen ladies, including Mrs. Ben jamin Harrison and others belonging to the American party. The arbitrators took their seats soon after 11 o'clock. Chief Justice Melville E. Fuller and Sir Richard Penn Col lins, lord justice of appeals sitting on the rbht of Prof. De Martens, the um pire, and Baron Russell of Killowen, lord chief justice of England, and Jus. tive David J. Brewer sitting at his left frand. Former Pesident Benjamin Har rison and Gen. Benjamin F, Tracy and the remainder of the Americans sat at the tables at the left side of the room facing the court and the other British representatives were seated at tables on the right side. A feature of the pro ceedings was that counsel used the desk which served during the Bering sea tribunal deliberations. The proceedings opened at 11:20, when M. Delcasse briefly addressed the tri bunal in French. The foreign minister In welcoming the arbitrators said it gave him spec ial pleasure to welcome the high com mission in behalf of the government of the republic, which he added was great ly pleased at the fact that Paris had lieen chosen for the sitting of the tribu nal among whom he saw such eminent men, some of whom had occupied with distinction the highest positions. Under the presidency of M. De Martens, who was universally acknowledged as an authority on international law. he con tinued their labors could only result iiappily in the Interests of the dispute and in the interests of humanity: for it would constitute another step toward1? the realization of the noble project which launched from an illustrious throne, was making rapid way into the hearts and consciences of the people and had thus imposed itself with sigu lar force on the solicitude of those who govern them. M. Delcasse concluded with thank ing the arbitrators for having accepted the hospitality of France. Prof. Martens replied, thanking the French foreign minister for his welcome and for the hospitality extended to the arbitrators. The speaker recalled the fact that he came here seven years ago to attend the Bering sea arbitration. Referring to the work being done at The Hague in the matter of arbitration he said the peace conference sought not merely to arrange a settlement of con flicts but the avoidance of conflicts and expressed the hope that the present tribunal would have the result of pro moting the welfare and prosperity of the two countries interested. The pro fessor announced the rules of procedure agreed upon at yesterday's conference and said the arbitrators would meet every day excepting Sundays. Sir Richard Webster thereupon arose and said that in order to meet the views of Former President Harrison and the other American counsel, 'in which the ICnglish representative concurred, he proposed that they only meet four days In the week in view of the extremely tieavy work before them. Mr. Harrison said he thought there would be in four days' work enough for ordinary men. and he evoked a general ftnile as. looking around at the gather ing of the most eminent jurists of Great Britain, he added: "And we are all or dinary men." Th work before them, he added, wrould be a tremendous strain upon the counsel. President De Martens thereupon agreed that four days' meeting per week would be sufficient. arranging that the arbitrators would not meet upon Fridays, Saturdays or Sundays. Sir Richard Webster asked: "As the Jearned Prof. Martens is going back to The Hague tonight, what days does he propose to give us next week?" The professor replied that he hoped to give them two days during the lat ter half of next week and that he would write from The Hague on Sun day, fixing the day of his arrival. After this Sir Richard Webster an nounced hat counsel had arranged he should speak first, then two Venezue lan counsel, next Great Britain with possibly two counsel, then Venezuela and next Great Britain. The final speech was to be made by Venezuela. Sir Richard then opened the British case and spoke until 1:15 p. m., when the commission adjourned for luncheon. Sir Richard occupied the remainder f the day in an explanation with the aid of the map on the wall of the geographical difficulties of the dispute, and concluded the opening stage of his speech shortly before 4 o'clock when the tribunal adjourned, Prof. Martens saying he hoped to be able to hold the next meeting on the coming Wednes day. The members of the tribunal were photographed this afternoon on the steps at the entrance of the foreign of fice. The officials of the foreign office pro vided the commissioners and their staffs with n. substantial luncheon in a hall adjourning to the court room. TUKNON THE LIGHT. Kansas Editors Demand Investiga tion of Asylum Boodle Charges. B. W. Hoch in the Marion Record has the following concerning the Par sons asylum: "The location of the new asylum at Parsons, nearly the jumping off place, was, to put It mildly, an unfortunate act, but it is about what we expected when we first analyzed the joint com mittee. Penitentiary, boys' reform school, deaf and dumb asylum, blind asylum, soldiers' orphans' home, state university, state capital, National Sol diers' home, two insane asylums now the third in short, nearly everything in the eastern fourth, we might more accurately say the eastern fifth, of the state. Nine-tenths of all the state ap propriations dumped every year into this neck o' woods. And all the re mainder of the state depositing its eggs in this litle nest. Had all the Institu tions been grouped at Topeka, in the first place, It would not have been bad, but if a policy of distribution was to be adopted it should not be violated in this manner. We know nothing about the charges of boodle in connection with this unfortunate decision, but we say, turn on the light!" The Salina Republican says: "All will unite with the editor of the Emporia Gazette In demanding of Gov ernor Stanley that the location of the asylum matter be thoroughly examined and sifted. There must be no shirking of the responsibility on the part of the governor, and probably there will be none." ARBITRATION. Secretary Johnson Will Help Adjust Miners' Troubles. Lee Johnson, secretary of the State Society of Labor, left today for Pitts burg, where he goes to act as an ar bitrator between the mine owners and the miners who are now on a strike. The position which Mr. Johnson occu pies under the new law creating h.s de partment under a new name assigns him such work as this, although this is the first time he has ever been called upon to assist In settling a strike. There will be a conference of the miners this afternoon or tonight to dis cuss the new schedule, wages and the working hours. It is believed that this conference may put an end to the strike, but the men are disposed to Insist upon their demands, which they claim are by no means unreasonable. DAY AND NIGHT. The TopekaWoolen Mill Overwhelmed With Orders. The Topeka woolen mill, which was established in this city less than two years ago, has built up a wonderful business. The concern now employs 113 people and for the last six weeks has been running day and night to fill its orders. The firm employs six trav eling men. A large part of the in creased business is from old customers who are doubling orders given formerly as an experiment. Mr. J. T. McAfee, the superintendent, said to a State Journal reporter that he is now paying out about $400 per week for labor; that he had already purchas ed this season 165,000 pounds of wool, and by the middle of July he expects the purchases to aggregate a half mil lion pounds. The mills have just se cured a contract from the state for 400 pairs of blankets and 2,100 yard3 of cas simere. The "Sunflower" brand of cas simere made by this mill Is one of Its popular lines of goods. CANNED FRUIT TRUST. Will Advance Prices About 55 Per Cent. San Francisco, Cala., June 15 A com bination of fruit canners has just been completed in this city and all the neces sary papers, carrying options on about two-thirds of the canneries of the state have been signed. It is reported that the organizers will centralize the product; that is they will close up about half of the canneries un der their control. It Is asserted that the trust contemplates an advance in prices of approximately 55 per cent. The combine controls twenty-six fruit canneries, or an annual output esti mated at 50,640,000 cans. There are at least half a dozen large canneries which have not been taken into the combine and these control an output of 1.250,000 cases per year. LEEDY'S FIND. Ex-Governor Strikes a Big Body of Ore In His Leased Mine. Galena, June 15. Ex-Governor Leedy and ex-Governor Renfrow of Oklahoma made a strike with a drill yesterday that promises them a fortune. The find has created great excitement in the vicinity of Carl Junction. The lease is on the farm of William Lochrie. At a depth of 246 feet a mineral was struck that greatly resembles gold, so pro nounced by those at all familiar with such ore. But this cannot be determ ined until it has been assayed. At a depth of 200 feet they struck a good body of jack, which continued for a depth of 30 feet. At a little greater depth was struck the ore that is now puzzling the oldest settler. Some have faith that the find is gold: others are inclined to believe that it is copper. Specimens have been sent to State Geologist John A. Gallagher at Jeffer son City to be assayed. Mr. Gallagher will clear up the mystery and determ ine whether Leedy Scott are gold miners or copper miners. "Will Investigate. A communication received by the Commercial club from a Cincinnati pro moter regarding the locating of a soap factory was referred to the manufac turing committee for investigation. The promoter claims to have a new process by which soap may be manufactured very cheaply, and he claims that the people whom he represents are looking for a location in the west. BLAND JS DEAD. Silrer Champion Passes Away After a Long Illness. Death Came at an Early Hour This Morning. AFTER A DEEP SLEEP Lasting 32 Hours From Which He Did Not Awake. Sketch of His Life and Character. Lebanon, Mo., June 15. R. P. Bland died at 4:30 this morning after a sleep of 32 hours. Mr. Bland returned home when con gress adjourned in March and soon suf fered a relapse from an attack of la grippe. For more than two months he has been confined to his home and his health has gradually declined. He thought he would not survive the at tack from the first and showed his thorough knowledge of his condition. On the third of this month Mr. Bland sud denly grew worse and his sons, who were In school, were summoned home and for the first time the public was Informed of his critical condition. From time to time since the patient showed signs of improvement, but the physicians in charge would offer very little hope to his family and friends. He continued to lose his vigor and grow weaker. On Sunday and Monday he presented an improved condition and his family took new hope and late Monday afternoon there were many ex pressions that Bland was getting bet ter. About 10 o'clock Tuesday night, however, he fell asleep and continued in that condition until death relieved him today. The funeral will take place at Leba non at 4 o'clock on Saturday afternoon. Mr. Bland's remains will be placed in the opera house tomorrow and will lie in state for 24 hours. The funeral will be conducted by the Masonic order and all the ministers of Lebanon will be present to assist. Private Secretary Bell has notified the clerk of the house of Mr. Bland's death, requesting him to appoint a com mittee of members to attend the fu neral. Prominent friends of Mr. Bland throughout the country have been noti fied of the funeral arrangements. BLAND'S VARIED CAREER. He Successively Became a School master, Lawyer and Statesman. Richard Parks Bland was born on a bluegrass farm in Ohio county, Kentucky, August 19. 1835. The family, of Virginia origin, sprang from Col. Theodric Bland, of Gen. Washington's staff, and was one of the earliest settlers of Kentucky: it was. too. connected with the famous Vir ginia familv of the Lees and related to the mother of that tiery Virginian, John Ran dolph. When young Bland was but 7 years old his father died in broken fortunes and the members of the family were thrown largely upon their own resources. In or der to secure the winter schooling Rich ard was compelled even at the tender age of 8 and 10 to spend his summers and all of his extra time in winters at hard labor. His education was such as the country and the times afforded and was com pleted at the age of 18 at the Hartford, Kv., academv. He then taught school, first in his home county, and later in Wayne county. Missouri. At the age of 20 he drifted westward, moving with a family of relatives to Vir ginia City, New There, as he used to tell, he rose to the dignity of a schoolmaster. But instead of "branching out." he saved as much as possible from his small salary for the education of his younger sister. These amounts were sent by travelers io stage coaches back to Missouri. During his residence there he served one term as treasurer of Carson county, Utah, now known as the state of Nevada. His chosen profession was that of law, and during all the other experiences in the west he kept up the requisite study, which he comnleted in the office of R. B. Mayes, in Nevada county. California, and was admitted to the bar in the United States district court of Utah territory in ISol). In 1SS5 he returned to Missouri and en gaged in the practice of law at Rolla with his brother. Judge C. C. Bland. After three years' practice at Rolla he moved to Lebanon, where he resided until his death. The little old fashioned building which Mr. Bland used as a law office thirty years ago still remains intact, a landmark of Lebanon. He at once furnished modestly the two rooms which form the extent of Richard P. B1W. J the little, low frame building on Jeffer son avenue, now used as a tinshop. A desk, a bookcase and wardrobe used in this little office afterwards became a part of the furniture in his library at his farm home, Mr. Bland refusing to part with them and clinging to them rather than to modern ones. He at once ranked among the ablest lawyers at the bar of Lebanon and soon had a large and lucrative prac tice. He continued actively in his pro fession until his election to congress in 1S72. He took his seat in 1873 in the Forty-third congress, and served in the Forty-fourth. Forty-fifth. Forty-sixth. Forty-seventh, Forty-eighth, Forty-ninth, Fiftieth, Fifty-first. Fifty-second. Fifty third, and was elected to the Fifty-fifth congress as a silver Democrat, receiving 24.605 votes, as against 19,754 votes tor T. X. Hubbard, Republican. Mr. Bland became best known in politics because of his long and earnest advocacy of the free coinage of silver. His acknowl edged leadership earned for him the title of "Silver Dick." He became in 1S75 chairman of the committee on mines and mining, and introduced the well known "Bland bill," which provided that the sec retary of the treasury should purcha.se sufficient bullion to coin the minimum amount of $2.0(10,000 a month In silver dol lars of 412 grains each, and that these dollars should be legal tender. In each succeeding congress he fought faithfullv and persistently for the white metal. It was mainly tnrough his efforts that the memorable silver commission was ap pointed and made the exhaustive report on the subject which is now on file in the. national archives. Mr. Bland was be fore the Chicago convention as a-candidate and received the support of the Mis souri delegation. Mr. Bland was married the first year that he was elected to congress. He met his wife, who was Miss Virdie Mitchell, while she was a student at Caledonia, where he attended to listen to a debate on "Memory and Hope." They were married at the home of Miss Mitchell's uncle. Judge John L. Thomas, afterwards attorney at the postoffice de partment in Washington. The congress man took his wife to Washington and there was spent the honeymoon. They af terward lived during their residence in the capital on Fifteenth street in a plain brick house, just around the corner from Senator Cockrell's. Ten children were born to them, but four died. The eldesc is Miss Fannie, who was educated at the Sacred Heart convent, Washington; Theo dore, a graduate of the Christian Broth ers' college, St. Louis: George Vest, Ew ing. John and Virginia. The Bland home is a short drive from Lebanon. It is a two story red brick house with a farm of 160 acres around it. The farm is in a good state of cultiva tion and has a line apple orchard: yet Mr. Bland used to say that he was ready to sell it for the value of the improve ments: he was not a success as a firmer, he would say. because of his many years in Washington as a congressman. Not withstanding his long service in congress. Mr. Bland was a poor man. his salary of $.i.000 a year going to pay the living ex penses of his large famiiv. He was never content in Washington without his family, and the cost of transportation alone being considerable of an item, it being a muter of common remark that almost without precedent in the life of so public a man that he absolutely refused to use railroad passes or to accept favors from any source. As a citizen Mr. Bland was held In the highest esteem and respect bv everyone in Lebanon. Even his political opponents greatly admired him for his true honesty and sincerity In public and private life. One of Lebanon's prettiest residence streets is called "Bland avenue." after her distinguished townsman. He sub scribed liberally to ail public enterprises and took a keen interest in the town's welfare. His living was always plain but bounteous and he believed in patronizing the home merchant. On his winter so journs in Washington the family wardrobe was made complete in Lebanon and the sewing all done under Mrs. Bland's super vision with the aid of a seamstress. OUR OKLAHOMA COUSINS. What Tbey Are Doing In Wheat and Corn. C. A. Johnson of Newkirk. Oklahoma, has sent small sheaves of wheat to sev eral Topeka people. One has been re ceived by Secretary Coburn and another by C. R. Hudson, assistant general freight agent of the Santa Fe. The wheat is of fine straw and quality. Mr. Johnson writes: "This wheat was grown on the farm of J. H. Walton, which is an upland farm, and there are more than 100 acres of wheat like this bunch on this one farm. v "Many of us feel that we are second cousins to Kansas, as that has been our home for years, and we wish the people of Topeka to see what is grow ing in this country, which was opened for settlement and has been in cultiva tion for five years. We believe we have a right to claim that Oklahoma is the garden spot of the United States, and that Kay county is the best county in Oklahoma. "Many fields of corn in our county are higher than a man's head. And there never was a finer prospect for corn than now. It has been very wet in this localityin fact, too wet for farmers to properly cultivate the ground. But it has cleared off and for three or four days we have had dr weather, and farmers are now cutting their early wheat. We have fields that will yield 25 to 40 bushels to the acre." Present of Painting. George M. Stone, the artist ,and Sul livan Delahoyde have presented the Commercial club with a handsome oil painting. A vote of thanks was re turned to the donors by the club. YUKON JS OPEN. First Steamer From Dawson Reaches White Horse. Made the Trip Up the Stream in Nine Days. RIVER FULL OF SCOWS All Loaded and Bound For the Klondike. Enormous Clean Up at the Mines Predicted. Port Townsend, Wash., June 15. The Upper Yukon river is now open for navigation and the steamer Flora.which left Dawson May 25, arrived at White Horse June 3. One of her passengers, "Win. P. Allen of Seattle, who arrived on steamer Alki reports the Yukon river open for navigation at Dawson on May 17, nine days later than last year. The trip was made without difficulty until Lake Marsh was reached, where the ice had to be cut in order to get through. He reports 42 loaded scows at Tagish. Between Tagisn and Ben nett fifty more scows were passed, all loaded and bound for Dawson. Since the big fire Dawson has heen the scene of business activity; saw mills have been running day and night but have been unable to supply the demand for lumber. Every man who can drive a nail has secured employment. The season was somewhat backward this year and as a result the clean up did not commence until a short time be fore Allen started out. He says what little was known of the results of the clean up was most satisfactory and claim owners were jubilant. Many pre dict that the output of gold this year will far exceed the expectations of the most sanguine. Allen says the reported exodus from Dawson for Cape Nome is mythical, as the strike at that place had not reached Dawson when he left. The latest news from Atlln brought on the Alki states that the open mining season has again been postponed from June 15 to July 1. Gold Commissioner Graham gives as a reason for causing this delay that a large number of claims are in dispute and that he will not un dertake the settlement of the question of the titles until the arrival of the minister of mines or his representative who will hear the cases and pass on them. The delay in settlement causes a stagnation of business as many of the best claims are tied up. Those who have been working claims are reticent about giving out the result of their work, but it is known that some of the claims are turning out fairly well.' A considerable quantity of wreckage was found west of Sitka near Cape Edgecomb on June 3, by a Russian hunter. The wreckage consisted of por tions of pilot house, wheel steps and a large amount of polished oak timber having the appearance of being the in side finishing of some vessel's cabin. A party has left Sitka to bring in the wreckage and ascertain if possible the name of the vessel. The wreckage had not been long in the water. TO LEAVE IN JULY. The Twentieth Kansas to Reach Home by September. Washington, June 15. Adjutant Gen eral Corbin said today that General Otis would send the volunteer regiments in the Philippines back to the United States as soon as posisble. It is the opinion of the department that the Twentieth Kansas would be started home the latter part of July and the men should reach their home in Kansas by September. The plan of mustering them out at San Francisco will not long delay the men after they land. MRS. II AN BACK NAMED. Widow of Popular Eansan to Save Charge of Girls' Industrial School Mrs. Lewis Hanback, matron of the Topeka asylum, has been elected by the state board of charities to the position of superintendent of the girls' industrial school at Beloit. Mrs. Hanback is to take charge of the' Institution August 1, at which time the term of Mrs. Phoebe Baer expires. Mrs. Baer was elected by the Populist board which preceded the present board. Mrs. Hanback is the widow of the late Lewis Hanback. Very soon after the present administration was installed Mrs. Hanback was given the position of matron at the Topeka insane asylum. Her promotion comes in the nature of a reward for meritorious services. CURTIS CONFIDENT. Topeka Congressman Not Afraid of Boss Leland. Charlie Curtis in a speech last night referred to the statements made con cerning the First district campaign by Cyrus Leland, published in the Journal last night, by saying: "That interview does not worry me in the least. The great mogul of the state shows his weakness in bringing out so many candidates but he may bring out as many as he pleases. Other counties will stand so firmly with Shawnee that I have no fear of the re sult." This declaration of his confidence of securing a renomination enthused the crowd of listeners and Mr. Curtis was vigorously applauded. PROTEST FROM MARSHALL. Representative Moore's Constituents Express Their Disapproval Governor Stanley has received a pro test from Marshall county against the new asylum at Parsons. The protest came from the home of Representative Moore, who deserted his own congres sional district and voted steadily for Parsons. The Marshall county protest contains more signatures than any yet received by the governor. It is said to be about equal in its representation of political parties. Of the 300 signers, half are said to be Republicans. ANGLO-SAXON RETIEW. Lady Randolph Churchill's New Mag azine About to Appear. London, June 15. The prinicpal lit erary feature of the first number of Lady Randolph Churchill's new maga zine, the Anglo-Saxon Review, to be issued within the next ten days, will be a paper by Mr. Whitelaw Reid, editor of the New York Tribune, discussing the advances in international law and the changes in national policy resulting from the treaty of Paris, 1S99, which he helped to .negotiate. The most important point In Mr. Reid's paper is that the $20,000,000 paid to Spain upon the cession of the Philip pines to the United States was not in the remotest degree intended as com pensating for the islands, which were taken, the writer asserts, because the Americans had a right to them as in demnity, if not for conquest, and that the money paid was solely in recogni tion of the principle that debts attach ing to territory and incurred for its benefit should be transferred with its sovereignty. Mr. Reid contends that, while the Americans were much reproached be cause they were unjustly accused of ig noring this principle in Cuba where it is not applicable, they have not receiv ed any credit abroad for recognizing it in the Philippines, where there was at least a probability of it seeming to ap ply. He also argues, that while the Monroe doctrine stands unshaken, what has been unsettled by the war with Spain and the treaty of Paris is the old time American idea as to the sphere of national activitites and the power under the United States constitution for their existence. The magazine will have an exquisite James I binding and offers 250 pages of letter press. The illustrated feature will include seven photographic portraits Sir Robert Peel, Georgina, the Duchess of Devonshire, Queen Victoria, Wash ington, the Countess of Pembroke, Anne of Austria, and Lady Montague.

Swan, president of the state society of homoeopathic doc tors, to the position of secretary of the state board of health to succeed Dr. H. Z. Gill who declined to vacate and was removed by the board. Dr.J. M. Alexander was chosen chair man of the board and Miss Colburn was re-elected stenographer and clerk. Dr. Swan is a Topeka physician and is thoroughly competent for the work which has been assigned to him. Dr. Gill says he will sue to hold his job but the state house people and the ma jority of the members of the board of health are very anxious to have the doctor move back to Pittsburg.

Success Lawton's troops Cavite province greater than reported yesterday. Enemy numbering over 4, 000 lost in killed, wounded and captur ed more than one-third; remainder much scattered, have retreated south to Imus, their arsenal; of five pieces of artillery, three captured. Navy aided! greatly on shore bay, landing forces oc casionally. Inhabitants in that coun try rejoice at deliverance and welcome with enthusiastic demonstrations ar rival of our troops. OTIS. MORE TROOPS FOR CEBU. Washington, June 15. The war de partment bulletins the following: Manila, June 15 Adjutant General, Washington. Prominent Filipino, friendly to Americans, assassinated at Cebu. Inhabitants in that locality ur gently requested American protection in stronger force. Have sent battalion Tennessee and two guns from Iloilo, which insures peace. Hughes now in charge of affairs in that section. OTIS. LAWTON REINFORCED. Manila, June 15. Noon. The fourth regular Infantry and the Wyoming regi ment have been added to General Law ton's command and today they were towed across the bay in cascoes to Las Pinas, preparatory to removing to Imus, five miles inland, where the rebels are reported to have an arsenal and a large quantity of supplies. SPANIARDS JOIN AMERICANS. Manila, June 15. 5:50 p. m. Captain Cable of General Wheaton's staff, with three companies of the Twenty-first regiment, reconnoitered in the direction of Imus. The rebels, who were ap parently expecting an attack, retired, leaving behind them twenty Spanish prisoners, who joined the Americans. The rebels have probably gone to the mountains along the lake. According to native stories the rebels carried 100 dead and 300 wounded through Bacoor after the recent battle. The natives are now flooding into Bacoor and it is probable there are many soldiers in plain clothes among them. The whole section is practically with out food and Major General Otis has ordered the distribution of rice and beef to the inhabitants. Many people still refuse to credit the stories of the as sassination of Gen. Luna by the guard at Aguinaldo's headquarters. Though the reports to that effect are most cir cumstantial and from good sources the rumors of assassinations and disasters from the rebel camp are so frequently printed in the local papers that they have come to be regarded with indiffer ence. The latest is that the governor of Cebu has been killed by natives be cause of his friendship to Americans. A prominent commercial man with ex ceptional means of learning of the Fili pinos' movements claims to know Gen. Luna is still alive, adding that if he Is dead, and if his death occurred a month ago, people would have expected a col lapse of the revolution to follow. The failure of the Filipinos to follow up the peace negotiations strengthens the impression that their overtures were merely to gain time and in order to lure the Americans to show their hands. The Independencia, a revolutionary organ, of May 20, a copy of which has just been obtained, prints an interview with Gen. Luna showing the arguments he used to keep up the spirits of his followers. He represents the Filipino cause as prospering, because the Ameri cans have gained only a hundredth part of Luzon by hard fighting, and says the women and children tilling the fields within the American lines give the proceeds of their work in support of the Filipino army. He is said to have fur ther remarked: "More Americans will be killed by ambuscades, surprises and disease than In battle. "I detest war but we can not accept peace at any price but independence. The Americans suffered for their own independence and in their hearts they appreciate why we resist them." IN HIS OWN DEFENSE. Thos M. James Claims He Did Not Intend to Kill Mr. Hayes. In the trial of Thomas M. James for shooting W. H. Hayes, in district court today, Mr. James took the stand in his own defense. He was the first witness introduced on hi3 side of the case, and he was kept on the stand all the morn ing and his cross-examination by Coun ty Attorney Jetmore is being continued this afternoon. In telling his version of the shooting of Mr. Hayes, he said that he saw Mr. Hayes bringing some posts and a. hatchet to the disputed boundary on the morning of the shooting, and he thought Mr. Hayes intended to build a fence along the line where he con tended the boundary ought to be. It was to frighten Mr. Hayes from dig ging any post-hoies that he got his gun. Mr. James denied that he in tended to kill Mr. Hayes.'and intimated that the gun went off accidentally. The drift of his testimony was that he con sidered Mr. Hayes a trespasser and as such tried to keep him off the disputed territory. The trial may not be concluded till tomorrow.

2 TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, THURSDAY E VEXING, JUNE 15, 1899. DR. KILMER'S SWAMP-ROOT Is Not Recommended For Everything. But If You Have Kidney op Bladder Trouble it Will Be Found J tut the Remedy. Kidney troubble preys upon the mind, discourages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor and cheerfulness soon dis appear when the kidneys are out of or der or diseased. Kidney trouble has become so preva lent that it is not uncommon for a child to be born afflicted with weak kidneys. If the child urinates too often, if the urine scalds the flesh, or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, and it is yet afflcted with bed-wetting, depend upon it, the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first step should fee towards the treatment of these im portant organs. This unpleasant trou ble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. So we find that women as well as men are made miserable with kidney and bladder trouble and both need the fame remedy. The mild and the imme diate effect of Swamp-Root is soon re alized. It is sold by druggists, in fifty-cent- and one dollar sizes. Tou may have a sample bottle by mail free, also pamphlet telling all about it, including many of the thousands of testimonial letters received from sufferers cured.

The converting of cay and frivolous Coney Island Into a huge public park seems but a short way off now. The authorities of the metropolis are pushing the movement with an avidity that is refreshing-, and before many days the venders of the Coney Island frank furters and other pastronomic features there will have to seek a new field. The city "has little to do outside of making- the improvement the land belongs to It anyway as the people on the proposed property are merely "squatters, having been granted their titles in lieu of votes lay Boss MoKane in his palmy days. They affect to imagine that they will not have to vacate, "but they will," says the city controller, "and soon at that." The ob literation of the breezy section it is all breezy for that matter of the best known resort in America, prompts one to say a little of that plaee as it really is. A clear and comprehensive idea of Coney can not be conveyed in fifty newspaper articles. It Is the least understood place in the world, although for a quarter of a cen tury it has been New York's most pop ular refuge In hot weather. Long- asr r it should have been made a jrreat public park, where pleasures were provided and comfort safeguarded. The need for it today is greater than ever. Nine-tenths of the various amusements provided at Coney are supported by the people, who would not dream of entering places like the Coney Island resorts in the city. People go there expecting to be fleeced. They crowd into the time they pass there as many different "games" as they can. That tells more about the place than volumes of descriptive matter. Not more than 10 per cent of the people who visit Coney Island go in bathing. Not more than 25 per cent see the ocean unless it is by accident. There are manv reasons for making Coney Island into a "park. RASPBERRIES IN LOADS. New Albany Preparing to Supply the Chicago Market Nfw Albany, Ind.. June 15.

The price has dropped so low that prow rs have ceased to pick and thousands of faJlons are Roing to waste in the fields, t Is estimated that 5OO.U00 gallons of strawberries were shipped from this point this season.

The berries are loaded in express cars holding 600 crates each, and a train of from five to fifteen cars leaves here at 9 o'clock every night. It runs on lightning express time, having right of way over all other trains, and reaches Chicago in nine hours, in time for the early morning market.

It is not a hard matter for men and women to preserve their health if they wish. It is far from impossible for them to restore it after it has been lost. That being the case, the modern Cupid is right in looking with disfavor upon matrimonial matches between sick men and unhealthy women.

Willis Gleed, In an Address at Columbus, O., Fays Tribute to tbe Black Sol diers In the Cuban War. TALKS TO GRADUATES. Commencement Day at the State Unirersity. Defines Democracy as Clear Road For Merit. Columbus, O., June 15. The address to the graduating class of the Uni versity of Ohio was delivered by James Willis Gleed of Topeka, Kan. "Real Life" was the subject of Mr. deed's discourse. He earnestly assured the students starting out into a. new life that real life consisted above all else In being true to themselves and their cherished ideals. In the course of his address the speaker made the following remarks on the race question: "Democracy should mean, as Napo leon said the revolution meant, 'A. clear pathway for merit of whatever kind. This does not mean-white merit, man merit, rich merit, educated merit, but merit of every kind, merit in black as well as white, merit in woman as well as man, merit in the weak as well as the strong, the poor as well aa the rich, the ignorant as well as the learned, a clear pathway for merit, stripped of every artificial or accidental covering; merit only, merit solely; merit naked, as the human soul before God, the just and omnipotent judge. But where in this country is the clear pathway? "All who participated in the cam paign about Santiago unite in praise of the black regulars. They did the finest fighting of all. They took San Juan hill. They the blacks,- the troopers, the privates achieved that wonderful vic tory; for, fine as the officers were, it was the blacks who first reached the top and seized the colors. All unite in praising their fearlessness in battle, their patience and cheerfulness In suf fering. The newspapers gave scant re ports of all this; they naturally paid more attention to the volunteers; but listen to the testimonials of Roosevelt's regiment. Listen to the testimony of the Rough Riders. "A wealthy young New Torker said to a friend of mine, "The black regulars saved the day saved us. I shall never see a black regular again but I shall want to hug him.' "Another, rich and educated, son of a former slave-owner, is quoted by the New York Tribune as saying: 'I have fought side by side with negroes, I have been happy to share their mess, and I am glad to have had the honor of fight ing with them and eating with them. A braver and kinder set of men never existed.' "Another said: "Their skins may be black, but after San Juan hill I know no better color. Since that time I have regarded the negro regular as more than a friend a brother.' "Another, an educated man, member of a fine old New York family, I my self heard lecture in Philadelphia upon his experience, and the tribute lie paid to the heroism or the Tenth cavalry was one of the most eloquent and thrilling things I ever listened to. A few days later this lecture was deliver ed in Richmond, and this soul-stirring tribute to black heroes who died on San Juan hill fighting the battles of a country they could hardly call their own. this spontaneous and glowing tribute to the memory of dead martyrs, was greeted with hisses, so that the curtain of the opera house had to be rung down. This at least was the re port of the Associated Press. Mere ex pression of gratitude of one soldier to others, mere admiration of bravery on the battlefield, hissed by an audience in an opera house and not a paper north or south, so far as I could see, took the slightest notice of it! "And why should they? Why should they notice mere hisses when murder and torture which go on from day to day can hardly get a hearing? murder and torture and a flood of black cal umnies; for I believe the excuses put forward for these atrocities are as in famous as the atrocities themselves. The crimes that are charges against the whole black race in southern states are crimes not heard of in the desolate days of war when southern homes were wholly without protection not heard of in days of reconstruction when southern state were garrisoned with northern troops crimes never heard of in the history of African slavery, not yet end ed till they were ended as palliation and excuse for political crime. "Charles Sumner devoted the last years of his life to certain measures in tended to make the liberated negroes free in fact as well as in name. The fourteenth and fifteenth amendments were adopted. Sumner has been in his grave for twenty-five years, and these portions of the constitution are through out one great area, of our country, as so much waste paper. Throughout the south the black man is disfranchised, sometimes by force, sometimes by fic tion of law. North and south he is de prived of his civil rights. Northern states do indeed educate him, but to what end? When the black boy or girl leaves the high school or college, what confronts him? A wall of blind and cruel prejudice which practically bars him from all respectable callings and vocations except the most menial, whatever the black man's character or ability, however Christian his character or great his ability he finds himself handicapped and manacled still. The finer his character, tBe greater his ability, the more cruel his station must be. Employment he can not get in the professions; trade is practically impos sible for him: trades unions exclude him; and when as a laborer he crowds into the free state of Illinois to dig on coal for us. a recreant governor greets him with fixed bayonet and gaping can non. We attempted to abolish slavery and to emancipate a race, but abolition and emancipation were only just be gun. It" will not be complete when southern butchery stops; It will not be completed when negro votes are inde pendently cast and honestly counted; it will not be complete even when all honorable paths to fame and fortune are as open to blacks as they are to whites; it will not be complete till the word nigger is used only by black guards and blackguards have gone hopelessly into the minority. "Well, says one statesman, if the blacks want their rights, let them fight for them. It is the retort of the brute. The blacks are the weaker race. If it comes to a race war, it will be eight millions against eighty millions. They ought not to be compelled to fight; all they ask is democracy, government by consent, a clear pathway for merit. They are entitled to it. It ought not to be necessary for them to fight, but if it ervetttu&liy ia necessary, Santiago shows that they can do it. Jefferson said of slavery, 'God is just, and His justice can not sleep forever.' DEWEY'S MISTAKE. Gen. Anderson Says Insurgent Can non Were Given Them by the Admiral. Chicago, June 15. According to Gen. Anderson, the heavy losses of the Ameri can troops In the recent engagements with the Filipinos at Las Pinas and Racoor, south of Manila, were caused by the can non which Admiral Dewey presented to Aguinaldo last winter. The batteries in question are being manipulated by Span ish prisoners, who Gen. Anderson says have been released by Aguinaldo with the understanding that they enlist in the in surgent army. Gen. Anderson took the first detach ment of troops to the Philippines last summer and was a prominent figure in the first negotiations between this coun try and the Filipino government. "When Admiral Dewey captured Cavite he took possession of a lot or artillery and later presented ft to Aguinaldo." said the general. "The insurgents removed the field pieces to Las Pinas and adjacent points and have kept them there ever since. It Is these cannon that are now being used by the insurgents a.tfcinst.our troops with such terrible effect In the province south of Manila. These guns are manned by Spanish prisoners who have been given their liberty and enlisted in Aguinaldo's army. These Spaniards are trained experts in handling field pieces and are evidently using their knowledge with deadly effect on our troops. "The native Filipino is unable to use a cannon, and Aguinaldo has placed all his field pieces in charge of former Spanish prisoners. After the first skirmish we had with the insurgents last fall I con ferred with Gen. Otis and strongly ad vised that Aguinaldo and the men be driven from the province south of Manila, as they might cause trouble later if per mitted to retain their position. Gen. Otis did not see fit to follow my advice, how ever, and the insurgents have been there ever since, building entrenchments and preparing for attack. Gen. Otis enter tained the opinion that the enemy could be dislodged at any time without trouble. "In this he was mistaken, as the stub born engagements of the last few days show." SEARCH FOR DIAMONDS. Geologists Hope to Be Able to Discov er a Field of the Precious Gems. Milwaukee, June 15. Prof. "W. H. Hobbs of the University of Wisconsin, assisted by a score of geologists throughout the great lake regions, have begun a survey of the gravel ridges in Ohio, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, New York, Minnesota and Michigan with the view of locating the origin of diamonds that have been found in various parts of the country from time to time. Prof. Hobbs believes that the diamonds come from some place in Canada, and considers it possible that the survey may help to locate that place. They were, he believes, brought down by the glaciers, and by tracing them back their birthplace may be found. Seventeen genuine diamonds have been found along these gravel ridges in lake regions. The investigation will be made under teh direction of the Wisconsin geol under the direction of the Wisconsin geol- S 1 2,000 IN PRIZES. Offered at the Annual Convention of Elks. St. Louis, June 15.

For years I had female troubles and did nothing for them. Of course I became no better and finally broke down entirely. My troubles began with inflammation and hemorrhages from the kidneys, then inflammation, congestion and falling of the womb and inflammation of ovaries. I underwent local treatment every day for some time; then after nearly two months the doctor gave me permis sion to go back to work. I went back, but in less than a week was com pelled to give up and go to bed. On breaking down the second time, I de cided to let doctors and their medicine alone and try your remedies. Before the first bottle was gone I felt the ef fects of it. Three bottles of Lydia E.

John Norden, who says that 'way out in Fergus coun ty, Montana, he owns six miles of ranch property, upon which countless herds of cattle graze, has come east looking for a wife. He is 34 years old and not par ticularly good looking, but what are good looks to a man who says he can draw a check for $200,000 at any time? Norden came to this country from Holland eleven years ago, and immed iately went to Montana, where he set tled down in Fergus county. On Mon day he appeared in Hoboken and en gaged passage to Rotterdam on one of the North German Lloyd steamers. Now Norden has decided to delay his de parture until he gets a wife.

He is willing to make over to her on the day of their marriage property worth $-200,000, to be held in trust for the period of ten years.

LOOKING UP EVIDENCE Has Backing of All the State Officers. News From Various State House Departments. 'Although 'Attorney General Godard has maintained a strict silence with reference to his future intentions, there are indications that he is making pre parations to descend upon the trusts in this state at no very remote date. In- an interview published in the State Journal Mr. Godard declared, among other things, that the trusts are menac ing the business interests of the country and that if it was possible for him to "do so, action would be taken against them. Just what direction Mr. Godard will proceed in is now a question. He may take no steps towards prosecution be cause the evidence which he has gained possession of up to this time, is not of the character that would be useful as a basis for a suit and would, in his opinion, have little if indeed any stand ing in court. From various parts of the state letters have reached Mr, Godard informing him, that the trust is doing so and so. "This so and so business," Mr. Godard says, "will not win law suJts. Positive evi-, dence of violations of the law are all that we can base a proceeding upon." While the letters hint at dire conse quences to business because of the trusts not a word of specific information has come to the attorney general's office. The authors of the letters evade the subject and only make suggestions. Mr. Godard's attitude is one of opposi tion to the trusts. Were he possessed of convicting evidence, he says there would be no delay in the organization of the fight against them. In this posi tion Mr. Godard has the support of the whole administration, the governor be ing particularly vigorous in denuncia tion of this new method of controlling the trade of the state. Of course the organization represented by these trusts would resist any effort to break the combines down, but the sentiment of the people is opposed to the whole scheme. The time will probably come when specific information concerning these institutions will be furnished to the attorney general at which time there is no doubt as to the policy he will pursue. Some of Mr. Godard's friends claim that he is silent now be cause he is only waiting to secure addi tional evidence upon which to base a suit against one of the combines in a line of business which the consumer would classify as "staples." Mr. Godard declines to discuss the subject at this time. He hopes, however, to have some thing to say and do later on. FIGHT OVER TAXES. Santa Fe and State Quarrelling Over Levy. Attorney General Godard is now at work preparing to aid the state in an important suit which has been filed by the Santa Fe railroad in the supreme court upon an appeal from the district court of Edwards county. The state law requires that all coun ties shall be responsible to the state for state taxes. In cases where the full amount of taxes are not collected the law provides a method for another levy for the purpose of securing for the state the amount of the deficiency. This condition of affairs prevailed in Edwards county under the last Repub lican administration. Attorney Gen eral Dawes ordered the county to make the additional levy to pay the amount of the deficit. The county clerk ex tended the levy on the tax rolls and made an effort to collect the deficiency. The Santa Fe, which is the principal taxpayer in the county, enjoined the collection of the tax. The district court was reversed by the court of appeals and now the company appeals to the supreme court. Should the company win this suit it will be an important victory, involving as it does thousands of dollars annually. It is of greater importance to the counties because it has an important bearing upon the state taxes which must be paid each year. FISH IS DEAD. One of Antique Ancestry Offered to the State. All letters pertaining to fisheries and questions of fish are referred by the state officers to George A. Clark, secre tary of state, who is the Izaak Walton of the state house. Today Frank Grimes received from H. G. Schle gle at Otis, Kan., a letter which was at once sent to Mr. Clark by spe cial messenger. Schlegle says: "While at work in a stone quarry a few days ago I found a petrified fish. It is about ten by five inches in size. Knowing that the state sometimes purchases these things, I write to inquire if you want this one, and how much you will give me for it." As there is no appropriation for the purchase of petrified fish and the live article is of more value to the state of ficers, it is probable that Mr. Schlegle will receive no offers for his prize. Mr. Clark is in doubt about the legality of the catch. He doubtless labors under the delusion that the fish was blasted out, and this is a direct violation of the What do the Children Drink?

Automobiles Excluded From the Chi cago Boulevards. Chicago, June 15. The South Side park commissioners issued an order to day excluding from the driveways and boulevards all vehicles propelled by electricity. This rule applies to pleas ure automobiles as well as those used by mercantile concerns. The main reason for the action of the commission was the alleged effect upon the horses, the animals, it is claimed, becoming frightened at the sight of the automobiles and threatening the lives of the occupants of other carriages as well as pedestrians and cyclists. On the south side the number of the automobiles runs into the hundreds and the owners are making vigorous objec tions to giving up the pastime. Piano Purchasers.

Toi know our town of Kirksville, Ana that cyclone that laid bare The spot, and sent the houses A-flyin' through the air? I won't tell all that story, Forthe horror of that night Is known to all; but Kirksville went Like blowing out a light.

That she picked out while h an tin' round The church on afternoons. She wanted a piano. Ami she wanted it worst way. And begged and teased, no matter what Her ma. and me would say.

The first train was run over the new Kansas, Oklahoma Central Southwestern railroad yesterday. The steel rails which are being put down and the ties, which are the best obtainable, and the excellent roadbed indicate that the Santa Fe intends making it a main line. A contract -was let yesterday to R. L. Plunkett, of Coffeyville, for 280,000 ties, to be delivered at Bartlesville, and will be used on the road south from there. The contract will amount to about $10,000, and it will be quite a Job to furnish that number of ties. Other contracts have already been let for ties to other parties. Telegraph lines are being put up as fast as the track is laid, and a telephone line extends as far as the grading has been done, so that the whole system is in direct com munication. The track has been put down as far as Cotton creek, and the train that was run over the line yester day was a work train from Caney. This train will be run now every day and will be kept constantly in use. A special ran out to the end of the line today with several of the officers of the road on it. TO DISSOLVE. IT. the Southwestern lane to Abolish Southwestern Bureau. St. Louis, June 15. At a meeting of the executive officers of the southwest ern lines it has been determined to take steps for the dissolution of the South western bureau. Previous to this meet ing the executive board had decided to abolish the conference committee on and after September 1, and the attitude of the Southern Pacific in sending- a notice of withdrawal and demanding the return of its deposit now leads to the dissolution of the bureau. A meeting- of the traffic managers will be called at headquarters here on the second Tuesday in July, when the executive officers will be assembled in St. Louis for the monthly conference on the gen eral rate situation, with one or more members of the interstate commerce commission. SANTA FE WILL HELP. Build a Brick Walk Prom Depot to Memorial Gateway. Ottawa, June 15. The committee on parks of the city council is very much elated over the meeting with Supt.

K, Twentieth Kansas, and in keeping with this and the many other improvements to be made at For est Park he gave the committee assur ances that a twelve-foot brick walk would be put in leading from the Santa Fe depot to the park entrance. REWARDED THE BOT3. Hutchinson and Southern Grateful For Favor Done Them. Railroad companies are grateful for favors. The Hutchinson Southern has just given an example of this: Several weeks ago a wreck on their road was narrowly averted by the promptness of a boy notifying the rail road people that a bridge on the line south of Kingman was on fire and need ed attention, which information gave the company's men time to repair the damage before an excursion train from the north was due. At the time of the occurrence the railroad company did not learn the name of the boy, but since then the company made search and found the boy to be an orphan about 15 years of age named Todd Young. The other day the railroad officials sent him a letter acknowledg ing in thankful terms their apprecia tion' of his thoughtfulness and action in notifying them of the burned bridge and asking him to call on them at his convenience. They enclosed passes over the entire line and a check for a neat sum to partially repay him for the Interest he had volunteered in their be half and the safety of the load of hu manity in their charge.

Possibilities as a SerrantGirl or Lawyer or Journalist. In introducing Rev. Charles M. Shel don to the thirty-fourth graduating class at Washburn college Wednesday morning, President George R. Herriek said that in order to secure a man of national reputation to deliver the an nual address it was not necessary to go beyond the bounds of the college com munity for Rev. Mr. Sheldon lives on College hill. Rev. Mr. Sheldon took for his subject "New Opportunities in Old Professions." After giving a list of professions best suited to college graduates Rev. Mr. Sheldon said: "First you can do your best as a law yer to keep men out of law suits. There are a few men in this state who make a good living in the law as peacemakers. I asked one of the best lawyers in this city a few weeks ago what was one of the highest Christian motives that could influence a young man to enter the profession of the law with the dis tinct purpose of serving his fellowmen as a brother to them. And his answer was just this: let him arbitrate cases out of court when the cases are plainly produced by anger and ill will between man and man. Of course such cases do not by any means exhaust all of a lawyer's legitimate business, but it is astonishing to see how vast a quantity of the lawyer's business comes to him as the result of quarrels and anger be tween men. "In the second place the young lawyer can identify himself positively with po litical and especially civic righteousness. The lawyer's profession is peculiarly and specially favorable to a study of history and political movements. A man who wants to serve his brother can not do so more nobly than the young lawyer who sees his opportunity in the needs of a city. "My grandfather on my mother's side was a doctor in a small country village. I never saw him. It is nearly half a century since he died in the beginning of his middle manhood. But he left his stamp on the spiritual life and thought of that whole township. "I have asked myself a good many times, why? He was a good doctor so far as skill is -concerned. He was suc cessful in his treatment of serious cases. But other doctors in the township had equal skill and success. It was not his technical ability as a physician that made him worth while to the life of that village. It was something that every doctor ought to have in as full a degree as every minister, and that is. Chris tian character. 1 should think a young man would no more dare to practice medicine unless he were a tremendous believer in God and his redemption than he would dare attempt to preach or pray unless he believed in preaching and praying. "The formation of the trust is only one sign of the times. There is no question that out of the trust will in evitably come its own destruction or at any rate the formation of a new oppor tunity for an unselfish corporation of forces. A Christian trust would be one of the highest forms of commercial co operation based on the brotherhood of man and built up on love to one an other. "It is a monstrous teaching that we have taught and believed, that men could be loving, gentle, tender-hearted in their family circles, in their churches, in their friendships, but that the minute they emerged from the sacred shrines of these private devotions and affec tions they must begin a heartless war on their fellowmen in order to succeed. in order to make business pay. "We have not time to show in detail how this fact gives the ministry new opportunities. The illustrations of it are all about us in the new and prac tical share the church is taking in hu man life. But the word ministry is a very large word. It refers not only to the man who works in a pulpit, but to any life that is spent in service. And I have been thinking of a practical op portunity that waits for some college young woman who has imagination and intelligence and love enough in her na ture to realize and grasp it. "Here is this servant girl problem. Who has ever made any real serious attempt to solve it? If I were a young woman with a college education, young, that is to say, not over twenty-one or two, blessed with perfect health, possi bly with some money at my disposal to use in doing what would be necessary to carry out my plans, I would choose for my life work something like this. "I would go out to service in some city or town. I would do the kitchen work in some family, do its housekeep ing, its cooking, its dishwashing, its hard, necessary drudgery, and do it with all my ability to the glory of God. I would learn from actual experience the actual .work that a servant in a family must do. And become familiar with the whole question so far as the present relations that exist between the servant and the mistress of the house are concerned. Gradually I would try to make the acquaintance of other girls in similar service and bring about a simple organization of a practical kind between the Christian girls and the Christian women who need their serv ices. And in time I believe a move ment could be begun in this way that would destroy the unjust, unchristian social stigma that prevents hundreds of young women working in a family in stead of in a store. "There is a wonderful field of useful ness and power open to the man or wo man who chooses music for his life work. Last winter a company of men and women numbering some of the best players and singers in this city went over into Tennesseetown and gave a concert at a nominal price. Some of the people in Tennesseetown still speak of that concert as an event in their lives. And yet it was so eriFy for the musicians to do. Why should the best things in life be generally so far away from the people that need them most? "The Lord Jesus Christ had some very poor material as a teacher. A stupid, unresponsive, narrow minded, selfish lot of men for the most part were the apostles when they started in that School of the Kingdom, with no apparatus, no books even, no wealth or culture, but they turned the world upside down after they had come out of that school and most of them died for the love of the truth they had been taught in it. That was because the teacher was one who saw in the work of teaching more than the books could give, more than technical skill could impart, more than a knowledge of facts could inspire. The teacher who sees today his opportunities can make the history of the United States. "If you choose the author's life it will not be because of the money you can make out of it. There are hardly a hundred men in the whole world who can make much money by writingbooks or magazine articles. Authorship as a profession is an exceedingly precarious and uncertain means of making a phys ical living. The number of people who are writing something is simply enorm ous. The quantity of material accept ed and stored away in the papers and magazines is almost incredible. "A curious illustration of that fact came into my personal experience a few weeks ago. In 1S91 I wrote an article for a New York paper. It was accepted, anil, as the rule with that paper was not to pay until the article was printed. I waited patiently, although gradually as the years went y I forgot what the article was about. A few weeks ago 1 received that article back HOSTETT'; E CELEBRATED tw STOMACH There is noth ing which drains energy, amb'tlon and. endurance like Malaria, Fever and Ague. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters will Send them away and Keep them away. It has never failed to cure the worst cases. This Is a fact not an ex periment Try it with a note from the editor saying- that he did not see any prospect of their Print ing it lor some time yet, owing: to other material on hand that had the precedence nd that I might want to uwe it else where. He had had the article only eight years, and when 1 looked it over I read it with great interest, not only because 1 had forgotten a, good deal of it, but be cause 1 no longer believed some of il. So it is just as well perhaps that it was not printed, especially as 1 might have died, meanwhile. "Having entered this open door of pur pose, another opportunity before the au thor is to make what he writes within the reach of people on account of its cheap form. There are thousands of people in the world who do not feel able to pay $1 for a book. I remember pleading years ago with a certain pubiisner to issue a. book in paper covers at no more than 20 or 25 cents. He replied that it would cheapen the book. And when I answered, that that was just what I wanted to do, he answered it would cheapen its contents. And besides, he said, it would be setting a precedent and making it more difficult for them to sell the hign-priced books. A3 if the main object in writing and publish ing books was to get all the money pos sible out of them, instead of getting tnem read by the peopie. I have been urging a publisher lately to put out a 5-cent book, and have good hopes that he will do so, although there is no money to be made in 5-cent books if they are properly made. Shall the dollar sign always sLand before us as the standard by which to do our best? For years 1 have pleaded with a publishing house to issue trie best books for sale a,t the news stands at a cheaper figure. A young man can get a glass of beer for a nickel, or a cigar, or an impure magazine or picture. If he should buy a, first class novel or Sunday school book published in cloth it would be $1 or Sl.zTi. 1 asked an audience in Toronto last winter if any Knglishman there had ever seen av paper edition of one of England's most famous poets. And not one of them ever had, because the poet would not permit his publishers to Issue a cheap edition of his books. Heaven forbid that we judge others unjustly. "Here is inspiration for a right ambi tion! If I were not a minister I would, choose to be a journalist. For surely no prospect for a lifework ever opened up so vivid a picture of opportunity! There is an alluring fascination at the thought of the originality, the resourcefulness, the influence that may be found in a paper or a magazine that has for its motto, "For a Better World," and for its pur pose everything holy. "What a magnificent opportunity to mark one's own plan ami to develop his own campaign! What endless possibilities to shape public feeling and mould private character! O, yes, I know the old pessi mistic cry of Utopian! and visionary: and impractical! It is not the first time I have heard practical newspaper men say a paper can not be run on strictly Christian principles without going bankrupt in thir ty days. Nevertheless, oh ye future jour nalists, what a splendid opportunity is of fered you to try running your paper or magazine on new principles as old as God, but applied in new places! "If in every town in Kansas we had one daily paper that every day contained one editorial fearlessly written in behalf of the majesty of law and the possibility of its enforcement and if this editorial was un derstood by the people to represent the blood earnestness of the man who wrote It and signHl his name to it, how long do you think our prohibitory law would be despised as a dead letter? How long would selfish politicians and criminal offi cers who perjure themselves without fear of punishment continue to block the piuin. will of the people? "What we do in the world Is not worth doing unless it is done to the glory of God. We have been created with differ ent powers and are called to do different things. But if eah one of us in his own calling works out the will of Him who made us the result shall be one result. The world is always ready to rest what we do by its standard of 'success.' But eternitv will test what we do by the standard of the 'cross.' FEDERAL All) EXTENDED. Restraining Order by Judge Hoot Given to Coal Operators. Leavenworth, June 15 Judge William C. Hook of the United States district court has granted a restraining order against the striking miners in the southern Kansas coal district in the vicinity of Pittsburg from interfering with the operations of the mines. The attorneys representing the min ing companies wanted an injunction covering almost every mine in the sec tion involved, but Judge Hook declined to grant an order until he had given the application a more thorough ex amination. This morning he gave the attorneys an additional hearing, and the latter as soon as they secured an order wired its text to the clerk of- the Fort Scott division, where they had left a copy of the application on the previous day.

The Filipinos are learning to shoot effectively. Judge Tuley's decision that the free silver issue is dead, may be reversed when the case reaches the next nation al Democratic convention. One noticeable incident in connection with the recent prize fight on Coney Island is the fact that neither of the participants is doing much talking:. Mr. Henry O.

If he be correct the rem edy is easy of application. AMERICAN MILLIONAIRES. Mr. John Gilmer Speed gives in the June number of Ainslie's Magazine some facts concerning American mil lionaires. He says that there are 4,000 men in the United States who are worth $1,000,000 and upward. It is sup posed that these 4,000 include a number of women who have a million or more in their own right. Of the whole num ber 1,400 are in New York city. If, as would seem from this, there are 2,600 outside of that city, rich men are not in such haste to get to New York as has been represented. Mr. Speed says: "Of those in New York city, one has in excess of $100,000,000, one in excess of $7.ri,000,000, one in excess of $50,000,000, three in excess of $40,000,000, six in ex cess of $X0,000,0U0, five in excess of $20, 000.000, three in excess of $15,000,000, eighteen in excess of $10,000,000, seven teen in excess of $5,000,000, thirty in ex cess of $4,000,000. fifty-four In excess of $3,000,000, 1S9 in excess of $2,000,000, and 1.050 in excess of Sl.OOO.OOO." Making a list of 50 of the richest men in the country, Mr. Speed finds that 12 gained their wealth by building and op erating railroads and speculation in railroad shares. Ten got their millions through what the single-tax men call unearned Increment of land. Seven got rich by producing and refining petrol eum Five found their fortunes in gold, silver and copper mining, and three by refining sugar. Steamboating contributed two, meat packing one, in surance one, iron dealing one and the telephone business one. to the list of millionaires. Only two bankers are found among the 50 richest. But as the 50 richest do not include any with less than $5,000,000, there may be several bankers in the country fairly well pro vided with this world's goods. D. O. Mills and J.Pierpont Morgan are doubt less the two bankers who are included In the richest 50, but while both of these men are engaged in banking, neither devoted his time and talent to the bank ing business. UNLOOSED FOB ISSUE. The Indianapolis News is deeply stirred over the president's recent civil service order and the organizaztion of the National League of Republican "Workers at Washington has proved an additional aggravation. In considera tion of the two events the News is prompted to extend a mild sort of warning to the administration as fol lows: There has been much speculation as to what the issues in the coming cam paign would be. Of course, the war and the conduct of the war and the foreign affairs of the country will constitute an administration issue, and for its de fense a strong appeal will be made. Sil ver will be more or less prominent, ac cording as the Democrats are wise or foolish. But no one has thought that the question of civil service reform would enter the campaign. Now. how ever, if this new organization at Wash ington amounts to anything, we may have here in the last months before the campaign begins an issue sprung that will not down and that may make trou ble for more than at present are con cerned. It is natural, of course, fol lowing the president's'-backward step." that such an organization should arise When there is the slightest encourage ment to this kind of people they come to the front with great noise and much positlveness of assertion. They need but the slightest encouragement, or in deed, no encouragement. The only way to deal with them is with a club, so to say. The only kind of argument thev understand is to be knocked out. We commend to the president, the admin istration and the friends of the admin istration, the organization of this Na tional League of Republican Workers and to the Republican politicians next year as to whether they want to have the civil service -question come to the front as a national issue." If they do they can have it. And they can be as sured that there are civil service re formers sufficient in many states to cast a vote that will make a difference between victory and defeat. GLOBE SIGHTS (From the Atchison Globe.) A quarrelsome man is always a petty man. If you want to keep cool, keep busy. There is no other way. Tba last patent medicine man in town convinced the people that two-thirds of them had kidney disease. Every honest man admits that he is nearly as fickle as a woman. If the cook is skillful, the gravy is in as great demand as the spring chicken. The men are looking for something as thin as cheese cloth to make Into gar ment, but which will not show through. There is nothing that makes a woman quite so mad as to have a neighbor who borrows of her, but who never invites her to her party. It is one sign of prosperity when a man pays cash for a horse. Previous to good time he always found something he could trade for it- The majority of women on the streets these days are looking for something that costs but that looks as if it cost $9: two weddings next week. There Is nothing in the theory that prac tice makes perfect: an Atchison man is having as much trouble with his fourth wife as with his first. An Atchison woman will give a party shortly for the sole purpose of having an excuse for asking for the return of her doylies from the neighbors who bor rowed them. We hone that when we die some kind friend will head off the officiating clergy man when he approaches the family to ask in a subdued voice, "At what age was he converted?" When a girl's engagement to an out-of-town man is reported, it is first said that she is to marry a king. As time pro gresses the girl's mother confesses that the young man is a prince. It leaks out later that he works on a salary, and has to work Saturday nights, and later, just before the wedding, no one is surprised at learning that he is a clerk and gives dancing lessons on the side to make a. living. The first distressingly hot night of the season was experienced by Atchison peo ple last night. There was tossing and grumbling all over town. and people awoke this morning as tired as when they first went to bed. A hot bath at night, and an avoidance of a heavy supDer and iced drinks, will help one to sleep. (Note. This good advice is given by one who eats too much at night, drinks too much ice water, and never sleeps well in sum mer.) POINTED PARAGRAPHS. (From the Chicago News.) Hope is a dream a man has when he is awake. Fools begin a lot of things that wise men finish. The beauty of a tattooed picture 13 only skin deep. Always expect less of people than you expect them to give you. Every time a battle Is fought another scrap of history is made. The world doesn't spend much time in watching a man's good acts. Any dealer in firearms will furnish you an. empty gun free of charge. If a man is a good listener a woman votes him a pleasing conversationalist. The man who has no little vices may make up for it by having one big one. When a man loses a $20 gold piece It isn't a case of "out of sight, out of mind." It's better to love the person you can't marry than to marry the person you can't love. All men are more or less prejudiced not because they want to be, but because they can't help it. Butter is prime when it is fresh; but man's youthful freshness disappears when he reaches his prime. Tf some people knew half as much as they think they know they wouldn't have such good opinions of themselves. A revolver that will shoot three miles has been invented. The wise poet will now see the advisability of sending bis contributions by mail. REFLECTIONS OP A BACHELOR (From the New York Press.) The most reckless of all gambling is done at the altar. Man is the slave of duty; duty is the slave of woman. What is the need of women proposing when they can make men do it and then fling it up to them all through life? A man feels less anxious about the fu ture of his children when everyone says they are like their mother, but it makes him snarl with her just the same. WHAT WOULD YOU THINK If any office ever went begging in Kan sas? If people would not flock to murder trials? If people would always say only what they mean? If Topeka would support a creditable baseball team? If policemen would consider It wrong to lie to the public? Tf men would refuse to bet on the slightest provocation? If the college graduate could realize on what he thinks of himself? If lawyers would never sell their con sciences with their services? If men would refuse to wear neckties which resemble bed quilts? If a baseball umpire decided things to the satisfaction of everybody? If someone would discover when betting on races is a crime in Kansas? Tf a woman would be discovered who did not relish personal praise? If a man who wears a high collar would admit that he is uncomfortable? If the ordinary mortal knew what doc tors mean by a "successful surgical oper ation" If young students would not think an ugly black gown makes them look learned If a person would know that It is silly to see a personal slight in every turn of the head? If people would not expect an amateur baseball player to perform as well as a professional? If a bride would understand that people no longer take an interest in her after the honeymoon? If the modern girl would realize that a knowledge of cooking acquired now may save some man from the horrors of dys pepsia? CUBAN COLONY SCHEME. Paul Vandervoort Wants to Take Old Soldiers to the Island. Omaha. Neb.. June 15. Paul Vander voort has received a letter from Presi dent McKinley acknowledging receipt of his letter offering to take to Cuba a great colony of all soldiers of both the blue and the gray, whose presence shall be a guar antee against the outlawry practiced by some of the Cutan bands. Mr. Van.ler voort is receiving hundreds of letters daily from veterans in all parts of the country who are anxious to accompany the expe dition. Mr. Vandervoort was commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic and knows all the leaders of the organi zation personally. He says they will go in the fall whether the movement has the sanction of the government or not merely as a private affair. Many of the oM sol diers have no means with which to pay their transportation, but many others are financially well flxfd. Those interested in the movement now favor having the Grand Army posts throughout the coun try pass resolutions asking the president to do something in favor of the move ment. The west and south seem to be the largest contributors to the scheme. W. M Oallagher, of Bryan. Pa., says: "For forty years I have tried various cough medicines. One Minute Cough Cure is best of all." It relieves instantly and cures all throat and lung troubles, coughs, colds, croup, whooping-cough, la grippe and pneumonia. Geo. W. StansfielJ. W. H. Wilson, A. J. Arnold Son, A. J. Kane C KANSAS NEWS. Another Case Where Trusts Hurt Kansas. the Groceryman Now Complains of Their Work. WAIL FROM GOODLAND Is Driving Traveling Men From the Road. Business Houses to Unite In a Department Store. Goodland, June 15. Mr. H. H. Auer, a well known groceryman of this city, discourses on Republicanism as exem plified and illustrated by trusts. Mr. Auer is a veteran Republican, and a few months ago "thought trusts were a pretty good thing." Says Mr. Auer: "Take the Horseshoe tobacco for in stance. Prior to the formation of the $12,000,000 trust now controlling this to bacco traveling salesmen offered the article, in $100 orders or over, for 40 cents per pound, with 10 per cent off on account of the order and 2 per cent off for cash, a total discount of 12 per cent. Now the trust sells Horseshoe at 45 cents per pound with no discount of any kind whatever. "Take again the Letts, Spencer Gro cery company of St. Joseph, Mo., sell ers for trust California fruits. This company makes the buyer sign the fol lowing contract, said contract accom panying the order: 'First It is agreed that all goods sold shall be shipped as soon as ready. 'Second It is further agreed that the prices named are guaranteed by Letts. Spencer Grocery company until the date of shipment against decline in their prices, or on goods of equal quali ty sold by others, option being given Letts, Spencer Grocery company in writing to meet such prices, or cancel and allow orders to be placed else where.' "The first of these conditions means that the buyer's goods can be shipped solely at the seller's Inclination, discre tion or convenience, and the buyer be still compelled to receive and pay for them. "The second condition practically re strains or enjoins the buyer from can celing his order for any cause what ever. Indeed, the first condition, in its wording 'It is agreed that all goods shall be shipped as soon as ready,' is a virtual embargo on all order cancella tion. "With the rapid growth, of the trusts it will only be a short time before the traveling salesman will be as extinct as the buffalo, and," reflectively con tinued Mr. Auer, "I would not be sur- j prised to see Goodland's entire commer cial strength of 30 or 40 business houses usurped by one immense department store." FAMOUS CHERRY TREE DEAD. Under Its Shading Branches First Populist Ticket Was Chosen. From the Medicine Lodge Cresset. The little blow which came up from the west Sunday, blew down the old cherry tree on the corner of Main street and Kansas avenue. It has been a "land mark" for nearly 20 years, and under its shade more politics and horse trades have been talked than any other spot in Kansas. It was under its spreading branches.while the hot winds were curling the hair of the natives outside its cooling shade, that two or three leading spirits decided that the farmers' alliance must go into politics, and here it was that Harry Landis fix ed up the first ticket ever nominated by that party. WIND TROUSERS FOR WOMEN. Short Grass Editor Pleads For a Stormy Weather Garment. Henry Rlack, an editor in Syracuse, western Kansas, has started a move ment for a special stormy weather skirt for women to wear during the season when the wind blows at a ve locity of 40 miles an hour across the prairies. In his paper, the Journal, Editor Black appeals to the women to turn from fashion and custom and wear dur ing the windy weather divided skirts, or better still, the trousers of their broth ers or husbands. He says ten women of Syracuse have agreed to inaugurate this new western Kansas reform. NEGROES CAME NOT. But Striking Pittsburg Miners Were Prepared to Make Trouble. Pittsburg, June 15. Excitement was caused among the striking union miners at Yale today by rumors of the coming of a train load of negroes, said to have been hired in the south to operate trie mines. Before daylight a crowd of probably a thousand union miners as sembled at Yale. The patrolled the Missouri Pacific tracks for two miles on either side of the mines and stopped several trains, which were searched for the expected negroes. The reported coming of the negroes caused the min ers to quit the Frontenac, Pittsburg and Midway mines today. These mines had been operated regularly since the beginning of the strike. No negroes have appeared, however, and there has been no disturbance. MORE KANSAS SOLDIERS. Recruiting Officers Get a Good List at Independence. Independence, June 15. Lieutenant Haines of the Fifth cavalry, accompa nied by Sergeant Walter P. Bletz and Dr. E. W. Slusher, opened a recruiting office here Wednesday morning. Last night when the office closed 58 had ap plied to be enlisted, and of these 32 had passed the rigid physical examination. One of the recruits was Daniel McTag gart. a son of the late Senator McTag gart and a brother of First Lieutenant William- McTaggart of company G, Twentieth Kansas, who was recently killed near Manila. COLORADO SMELTER STRIKE. May Close the Works at Argentine Says President A. R- Myer. Argentine, June 15. With the closing of the trust smelters of Colorado, the Consolidated Kansas City Smelting and 1 Refining company may suspend busi- I ness at the big plant in Argentine. A. R. Myer, president of the company, j which is controlled by the trus;, in an 1 interview last might said: I "Reports seem to indicate that the strike in Colorado is nearing a serious crisis, and if the smelters there have to be closed we will, of course, fellow I suit." I The closing of the Consolidated Kan- I sas City Smelting and Refining com- pany means that many men will be thrown out of employment. It has been the general belief all along among the people of Argentine that the only local effect of the Colorado strike would be to increase work in Argentine. It was believed that the ores from Colo rado would be shipped in immense quantities to Argentine and that the low tide of operations there since the trust was formed would be materially changed. Mr. Myer maintains that, inasmuch as the Argentine plant is valuable to the trust principally as a re finery, and that inasmuch as the shut ting down in Colorado would greatly lessen the amount of refining to be done, a logical result would be a shut down at Argentine. CLOUDBURST AT MOLINE. Causes Elk Rivers to Wash Out Hun dreds of Acres of Harvested Wheat Independence, June 15. A heavy rain fell here yesterday afternon and reports state that it was general all over southern Kansas. There was a water spout at Moline, twenty-two miles west of here, and six inches of water fell in two hours. At Humboldt, north of here, a heavy rain and hail fell. The Elk river, north of here, is raging and is higher than at any time since the flood, fourteen years ago. Hundreds of acres of wheat that has just been cut has been washed away. A great deal of the wheat that isn't cut has fallen on account of the rain. This rain will prevent the farmers from getting in their fields for at least a week, and by that time the wheat will be dead ripe and not much of it can be saved. This rain has caused the wheat crop in this section to be almost a total failure and what there is will be of a very poor quality. The wheat crop will not possibly make more than one-third the average crop. HE VOTED FOR JACKSON. Veteran Abilene Democrat Passes Away at 87 Years. Abilene, June 15. Zorah Densmore, who was born in Ontario county, New York, June 22, 1812, died at the home of his grandson, C. M. Harger, in this city, at 2 o'clock Wednesday morning, of paralysis. He came to Abilene from Michigan, where he was a pioneer, in 1883. lie was a staunch Democrat, cast ing his first vote for Jackson for presi dent. Until his last illness he had nev er been under a doctor's care but once in his 87 years of life. DR. GILL IN A RAGE. Secretary of Board of Health Imprisons His Stenographer. Dr. H. Z. Gill, secretary of the state board of health, is in a range since the members of the board ousted him and elected Dr. W. B. Swan to take the of fice July 1. Dr. Gill locked his stenographer in the office today and in closing the doors upon her said: "Don't you dare to touch that door to open it. Stay here until I come back." The doctor then tsalked out of the of fice in a high dudgeon and left the young woman. Miss Ina Colburn, trem bling with fear. A side door is fastened by a safety lock. The other door with a key. The safety lock is the only appliance upon the side door and Miss Colburn could have gotten out through that door but she was too badly frightened to move. The doctor stalked out of the of She sat trembling and crying in a chair until the irate doctor returned some time later. This incident occurr ed early this forenoon. When the ex-secretary returned to the office he demanded the keys In the possession of the stenographer. She demurred and said: "If I give up my keys I can not get in the office when I come to work." "Tell me," yelled the doctor, "whether or not you will give me the keys. Say yes or no," be shouted, quivering with rage. Miss Colburn handed him her keys. He then exclaimed: "You come to the office at 8:30 in the morning and at 1:30 after dinner. If I'm not here wait around in the hall un til I come. When I want you to go in I will open the door." Doctor Gill is incensed at the members of the board and to this is attributed his display of wrath against the young woman. Asked If he had locked the young woman in the office Doctor Gill said: "1 haven't time to tell the details of this affair." "Was she locked in the office by you?" "I decline to answer the question," re plied the doctor. "Was there any reasonwhy she should be locked in?" "None that I know of," said Gill. "Has she neglected her work?" "She has been an efficient and faith ful stenographer," said the doctor. "Why was she locked up?" "I haven't time to tell the details," was the reply. The doctor denies that he locked the office. He later attempted to explain the matter by saying that the side door spring lock could have been opened, and said: "She could have walked out there any minute." "Did you not tell her not to touch the spring lock under any circumstances?" asked the reporter. "Yes, I did' said the doctor. "But she could have gone out if she had wanted to." he said meekly. It is generally known around the state house that the secretary of the board has always been disagreeable to the sten ographer. He attempted to prevent her re-election to the position at the meeting of the board last night. He was asked for reasons why he opposed her re-election. He could give none except: "I don't want her." Since the doctor is to go out July 1 the board did not heed his wishes. Endorse Horse Show. Ex-Mayor Fellows introduced a res olution at the meeting of the Commer cial club indorsing the race meet and horse show next week, and recommend ing that the business houses close on Thursday afternoon in order to make the meet a success. President Brig ham was authorized to appoint a com mittee of three to aid in carrying out the purposes of the resolution. Baking Powder Made from pure cream of tartar.

Much Larger Increase in Population Than Any Kansas City Reported. Returns received by the state board of agriculture from 54 counties, taken from assessors' figures, show that March 1, this year, there was 2,120,646 bushels more wheat in farmers hands than one year before, or 125 per cent, while of corn there was a falling off of over 10,000,000 bushels, or almost 37 per cent. The increase in value of animals slaughtered was nearly 7 per cent, n crease in value of poultry and eggs sold 4 1-3 per cent; of milk sold, other than for butter and cheese, 13 per cent, and of garden products sold, 34 per cent. A slight increase is shown for but ter, and of cheese a considerable de crease. Increase in the population of various larger towns is given as follows: Em pire City, 905; Galena, 437; Weir City, 46S; Concordia, 350; Ellsworth, 354; An thony, 220: Harper, 171; Kingman, 30.; Leavenworth, 236; Chanute, 418; Phil lipsburg, 175: Topeka, 2,714; Welling ton, 522; Caldwell, 262; Wilson, 272. Hiawatha shows a decrease of 118; Horton. 204; Howard,- 64; Newton, 17, and Sabetha, 20. Forty-six towns with a population of 1,000 or more show a total increase of 10.103, and six a total decrease of 521. In the number of dogs, Sumner coun ty shows tire handsome increase of 612, followed next by Shawnee, which has gained 548, and Linn, 339. Crawford county has suffered a loss of 404; Ellis, 131; Rooks, 95, and 17 other counties a less number- in each. The net increase in the counties heard from amounts to 2,6i7, or 3 per cent. ANOTHER ROUTE. Soldier Township Will Hare Mall Delivery Changes. The statement made by Special Agent Hathaway that he would not establish a free delivery route in Tecumseh town ship until the people decided on what they wanted, woke them up, and Wed nesday afternoon four men canvassed the township to ascertain the wishes of these whom the route Is designed to accommodate. As a result the route will be radically changed from what it has been mapped out. Out of 143 heads of families to whom the matter was presented, all but four asked that the route be started from Tecumseh, and only two objected to the route. A pe tition setting out the wishes of these 143 has been presented to Mr. Hath away, and he will recommend the route as they wish it, to be started on July 1. The route will go 2 miles east from Tecumseh, south a. half mile, east a half mile, south a half, east a half, south five miles, west two, north one, east one, north one to Watson postof fice, west 2V4, north one, east 1, north one, west three, north two, east two to Tecumseh, with a total length of 26 miles. This will practically do away with the Watson postoffice but will be a good thing for the Tecumseh office. Mr. Hathaway has also decided on a route for Soldier township, and will recommend that it also be started on July 1. He will make no change in it. It is to start from station A, in North Topeka, but no deliveries will be made until a half mile north of Soldier creek is reached on the Kansas avenue road. From there it will go north three miles, east one, north two, west one, north one, east one, north west lVi. south three, west one, south two. east south two, east one, south two, then in to station A. This route will pass through the edge of Rochester and will serve about 15 houses there. There are 170 houses on the route. It will come in past Shorey but no deliveries will be made in that neighborhood except to people living immediately on the route. Mr. Hathaway will send in the plats of these routes immediately and will recommend that both of them be start ed on July 1. He expects to return to Topeka later to examine the Mission township route. AT A BIG MEETING. Frank Holliday Represented the Drag gists of the United States. F. E. Holliday returned today from New York. He had been delegated to represent the National Retail Druggists' association at the meeting of the Pro prietary Association of America which held a several days' session at the new Netherlands hotel. Mr. Holliday was well entertained in New York, Philadel phia, Baltimore, Atlantic City and else where and made several speeches at the social and business gatherings. The association is composed of the proprietors of the great patent medi cines of the United States. Mr. Holll day's mission was to induce the manu facturers to sell only to recognized job bers and to cut off, if possible, sales to "cut rate druggists." Mr. Holliday ex presses himself as well pleased with re sults. BACK FKOM COSTA HICA. Mr. Popenoe Returns From a Busi ness Trip. Mr. F. O. Popenoe returned today from Costa Rica, where he has been spending several weeks on business connected with his extensive mining interests. Col. A. S. Johnson, who accompanied Mr. Popenoe, stopped in New York to visit a few days. He will reach Topeka early next week. GO TO HIAWATHA. Topeka Masons Will Exemplify Se cret Work. The team from Orient lodge No. 51 A. F. and A. M. will go to Hiawatha June 24, St. John's day, to exemplify the work in the third degree.

It is certainly a very strong and clear pre sentation of the railroad view of the case and I have no inclination to rob Mr. Hurd of the credit for writing it. It is true that 1 have not approved Mr. Hurd's political methods, but I have always regarded him as a very able lawyer, and I think so still, and would not under any circumstances do him an intentional injustice; so there is no joke in the case. Yours very truly, JOHN MARTIN. Topeka, June 15, 1899. CLOSED EYES AND EAUS. Chief Devery Didn't Know Admis sion Was Charged at Coney Island. New York. June 15. Chief of Police Dev ery was catechised today before the Mazet committee as to what he knew about box ing matches as they are conducted in New York. Deverv said he attended a number of the performances, but had seen no violation of the law. He did not know, he said, that money was charged for ad mission to the JefTries-Fitzsimmons exhi bition; he did not see any money pass for tickets of admission. (Under tiie ilorion law boxing exhibitions may be given orilv before club members, the contestants be ing also members, and no fee may be charged.) He explained the difference between Marouis of Queensbury and London prize ring rules. He would interfere in a tight under the London prize ring rules. He had wanted to prevent the Jeff ries-Fitzsim-mons bout, but deferred to the wishes of the people who took the opposite view. PAKSONS ACTIVE. E. D. Stevens, representing the Par sons Commercial club, came to Topeka today and filed with Governor Stanley the deeds to the property purchased by the committee as a location for the new asylum.

To the Farmers Is That They Form a Trust Washington, June 15. Mr. H. O. Havemeyer's statement before the in dustrial commission yesterday aroused great interest and the next three hours were devoted to answering questions asked him in rapid succession by the members of the commission. He made an incidental statement which the com mission construed into an admission that business, was not profitable now. The witness confessed that his company had very little regard for the welfare of rivals of business, saying that prestige, ability, experience and wealth would win in the long run in the struggle and that trusts were an example of the sur vival of the fittest in business. "That is trade," he said, "and the sooner you realize it and quit trying to control it by federal legislation, the bet ter for all. A man can not expect to have himself continuously wet-nursed by the government. If men do not want to buy our stocks they need not. They don't need government protection. If they wade in and get stuck, iet them get out and, if they wish, wade in again. The fate of rival concerns is their af fairs, not ours." He declared that the tariff enabled the steel rail trust to mulct the public to the extent of $9 per ton, and said incidentally that Mr. Carnegie had not yet stated what he was going to do with his money. On the question of labor. Mr. Have meyer said the laboring elements were forced to form organizations, but that in doing so they sacrificed much inde pendence and the unions had the effect of "bringing other men down to a low level." He contended that he was a friend of labor and said that good men in the employ of the trust were paid ten per cent more than they could get else where. Mr. Havemeyer said that many things were done in business which looked cold blooded and harsh, but that business conditions often required conduct Justi fying such characterization. The farm ers, he thought, ought to establish a trust for their protection. He declared that his company had not gone into a combination with any of the independent refineries. Reports that such a consolidation had been effected were untrue. Replying to a question as to how he could conduct business at a loss and still declare dividends. Mr. Havemeyer declared laughingly: "One is an execu tive and the other a matter of busi ness." The witness expressed the opinion that It would be a good plan to expose the business books to a government in spector. He closed with a protest against what he called the tariff dis criminations against sugar, reiterating that it was due entirely to the feeling against combinations in business.

Quantities of field daisies in every conceivable spot added the finishing touch. Just before the ceremony. Miss Irene Horner sang "Simple Confession," by Miss Caro Louise Penfield. Williams. Thome.

The bridesmaids looked charming in simple white batiste gowns, which harmonized so well with the green and white of the decorations; they carried white car nations. The bride, who Is a pretty brunette, wore a handsome gown of white duchess satin, with a long train. The upper part of the bodice was trimmed with quillings of white chiffon, below which was a bertha of duchess lace; the belt was of white satin ribbon and a crush collar of chiffon finished the bodice.

The electric lights in each room had shades to harmonize with the prevail ing color. The west parlor was In red: great, long-stemmed red roses hid the mantel from sight. The bay window where the punch bowl stood was draped with asparagus. The young ladies who pre sided at the punch bowl were Miss Ran ney. Miss Lotta Ranney, Miss Ollie O'Brien and Miss Pearl Latham. The orchestra, stationed in this room.played all evening. The hall was in green: the banisters and railing were wound with aspara gus and tied at intervals with white satin ribbons, and overhead were fes toons of asparagus and hanging bas kets of ferns. White prevailed In the dining room, with a background of green to soften the effect. The polished dining table was placed in the center of the room, and shimmering draperies of white tulle extended from the chandelier to the corners, where they were caught with bows of white satin ribbon. On the table was a beautiful centerpiece of Battenburg. on which was a cut glass vase cf white roses. The pictures and mantel were banked with green. Assisting through the rooms were Mrs. M. C. Hammatt, Mrs. J. B. Thompson, Mrs. Reid Alexander and Miss Crosby. In an upstairs the pres ents were arranged, and were both nu merous and handsome. Mr. Williams is a nephew of Mr. W. T. and Mr. E. H. Crosby, and both he and his bride are well known in Topeka. Mr. and Mrs. Williams will not make a trip now. They will be at home to their friends after July 21 at 221 .West Tenth street. The Ladies' Music Club Picnic, The annual picnic of the Ladies' Music club was held Wednesday at the Campdoras farm, northwest of town For a number of years this has been an annual event, looked forward to with interest several months beforehand. The picnics are always held at the home of Misses Irene and Grace Camp doras, whose kindly hospitality makes them doubly pleasant. Their home, too. is perfect for an affair of this kind with its wide porches and pretty lawn. Last year, owing to the rain, the pic nic was given up. but this year they de termined to go in spite of it; part went in a large covered wagon and others in carriages. It was so damp that it was necessary to spend the day in the house and on the porches. An unusually interesting programme was given. It was as follows: 1. Minuet Bochinero Miss Campdoras. 2. Birthday Song Adele Aus Der Ohe Mrs. Charles. 3. A May Morning ......Denza Mrs. .Parkhurst. 4. Entreaty Bohm Mrs. JCieinnans, 5. Gavotte D" Albert Miss Smith. 6.

Miss Parkhurst read an interesting report of the year's work and plans for next year were discussed. The scheme tried by the club last year of having associate members and giving occa sional public concerts for them was so successful that it was decided to work on a similar plan next year. The Ladies' Music club is one of the most progressive organizations in town; it was so successful with the attrac tions it brought to the city last year, that it now has a large sum on hand, with which other fine musical attrac tions will be brought here next season.

STAGNATION. Heavy Blow to Colorado's Chief Industries. Thirty Thousand Men to Cease Working. STRIKE AT SMELTERS About to Paralyze Entire Mining Business. Trouble Grows Out of Eight Hour Law. New Denver, Col., June 15. Thirty thous and men in Colorado will be out of work within the next three days unless steps are taken to end the strike of the smelter employes. The Omaha and Grant and the Globe in Denver, the Bimetallic and the Ar kansas Valley at Leadville, the Filers and the Colorado smelters at Pueblo are closed. The Argo smelter in Denver has com plied with the eight hour law and is still running. The Guggenheim smelter at Pueblo also is running. The closed works are under guard but nowhere have the men made any demonstration. At Central City the men employed in the stamp mills are expected to strike today. These mines have already clos ed: The Commodore, Amethyst, Bach elor, Bachelor No. 2, and Last Chance mines in the Creede district; the Calli ope and Hagerty, at Ouray; the Carib bean and Montezuma, near Ophir; the Iron Mask and Black Iron at Red Cliff; the Smuggler at Aspen. The Porter Fuel company at Durango has closed, throwing 150 men out of work. From all parts of the state come re ports that mines are reducing forces. At Leadville 900 men have been dis charged and in view of the orders to ship no more ore to the closed smelters little except development work is going on. The loss in wages to the men at Durango by the 12 days closing of the smelter Is $50,000. Should the mines close all over the state 500 railroad men will be thrown out of employment. Four mines of the Colorado Fuel and Iron company, three near Canon City and one in Pitkin county, have been shut down on account of wage differences. DECLINES BIG OFFER. Rev. C. N. Sheldon Offered $5,000 For 50 Lectures In Europe. The modesty, which is known to be genuine, of Rev. Chas. M. Sheldon keeps from the public a number of good news items. The popularity of this now famous author causes him to re ceive many flattering offers to lecture. These offers are generally met with a refusal, and in so doing Mr. Sheldon tries to carry out the ideas in his book "In His Steps." This paper learns indirectly, but from an authentic source, that Mr. Sheldon has recently received an offer by tele gram, followed by a letter, offering him $5,000 and all his expenses for a series of fifty lectures in Europe, where sev eral million copies of "In His Steps" have been issued. When Mr. Sheldon received this offer he said: "I cannot accept it. It might ruin the influence of the book. Furthermore, I am devoted to my church in Topeka. Mr. Sheldon has accepted two Invita tions for about the middle of July to lecture at Chautauqua assemblies in Buffalo and Detroit, but for which he receives no compensation. It is un derstood that Rev. and Mrs. Sheldon may visit Europe next year. The trustees of Washburn college re cently decided to honor Mr. Sheldon with the degree of doctor of divinity, but Mr. Sheldon heard of the plan and requested the trustees not to confer it. REPORT ISSUED. ing that time the average number of I actual business In bankers' bills at $l.S7-., inmates nas Deen tnirty-nve. me in stitution is in good financial condition State Horticultural Society Book Limited to lOO Pages. Secretary W. H. Barnes of the State Horticultural society has issued a re port which contains a record of the pro ceedings of the thirty-second annual meeting of the state society held in To peka last December. All papers pre sented at the meeting, discussions and other useful information are found in the report. Much important matter has been omitted from the report owing to the fact that the legislature limited it to 100 pages. The secretary and the pres ident. Judge Fred Welihouse, believe more space should be given to these reports and cite the fact that adjoining states permit the publication of a re port carrying from 400 to 600 pages. Mr. Barnes has already issued a val uable report upon the Kansas Apple and is now preparing another on the Kansas Peach. SCHLEY RECITES IT. The Admiral Gives Iron quill's Dewey Lines at a Banquet. Glen Miller, formerly of Kansas, but now of Salt Lake City, writes to a per sonal friend in Topeka about a banquet given a few evenings ago by Governor Wells of Utah, to Rear Admiral Schley. Mr. Miller says that on that occasion the admiral recited, with much expres sion, Ironquill's famous Dewey poem, as follows: "O. Dewey was the morning. Upon the first of May, And Dewey was the admiral Down in Manila bay; And Dewey were the Regent's eyes, Them' orbs of royal blue! And Dewey feel discouraged? I Dew not think we Dew." Mr. Miller says that Admiral Schley gave credit to a "Kansas poet" and that the recitation was received with cheers. WICHITA MASONIC HOME. Board Holds Its Annual Meeting and Re-elects Officers. Wichita, June 15. The board of man agers of the Masonic home in this city held its annual meeting Tuesday. During the past year $8,000 has been expended in improvements. The board decided to build a four room hospital on the ground owing to the prevalence of sickness of late among the inmates. The sick cannot now be cared for properly, as it is not possible to separate them from the other inmates. The new building will not be an expensive one, but will be equipped in the best manner and be large enough to accommodate the sick of the institution. The expenses of the institution during the past year have been $5,000. Dur- and has been conducted in a safe and careful manner. The officers of the board were reelected. CUBANS BUY GUNS. In Order to Get tbe $75 From the Government. Havana, June 15. Lieut. Col. W. H. Bisbee paid 350 men at Guanajay yes terday and there are 500 still unpaid. The arms of those who have been paid have been delivered to the alcalde. Many of those who had no arms de manded arms from the mayor but were refused. The men then assumed a threatening attitude and the officers in command ordered the troops to guard the building and telegraphed to General Brooke asking permission to extend the time of payment, as some of the Cubans are entirely destitute and many of them without means of returning to their homes. A guard was quartered in the town all night and the signal office was kept open waiting for the governor general's message granting an extension of the time. The Cubans bought all the re volvers in town and Cuban officers hav ing rifles sold them for as much as $25. The arms will probably be returned if the men are not paid as they were only purchased as a means of obtaining the paymaster's recognition. At Cardenas, Policemen Rodriguez and Hernendez who were off duty were gathering fruit about a league from town when they were attacked by Mar teli Ribero and Felix Piloto, two out laws, who escaped from jail in May. Rodriguez was shot through the abdo men and retreated to the city. The out laws were armed with Mauser rifles and mounted on horses stolen last week. At Romedios the payment of the Cubans continues briskly. Many who gave up their arms.in May have been asking the alcalde to return them in order to en able them to receive payment. POURING IX. Protests Against Asylum Location Kansas Editor's Despair. Decatur county, the home of Frank Reeder, the Populist representative who stood by Clay Center in the balloting for the new asylum, has sent a lon protest to the governor against the ac tion of the committee. The protest is on the blanks sent out from Clay Center but it contains about 100 signatures. The signers of the doc ument are representatives of all politi cal parties and are leading business men and citizens. A western Kansas editor, residing in the Fifth district, has written a per sonal letter to the governor concerning the asylum scandal in which he says: "What's the use of having an invest igation. We can't find out the facts. The committee, we know, made a good thing out of the deal and put the asylum in an out of the way place. So let 'er go at that and fight it out in the campaign." This letter.whileittookthe governor's breath for a moment, amused him very much. Race Track Improvements Sold. St. Louis, June 15. All the improve ments, including the long grand stand, the massive betting ring inclosure and other buildings of the Madison race track at Madison, 111., have been sold to a wrecking company for $400. The wrecking company will clear the ground, which will probably be used by the Terminal association as a switch ing yard. The Madison track was started in 1S92, but after running sev eral years it was compelled to close down. TODAY'S MARKET REPORT. Chicago. June 15. WHBAT?Wheat showed tirmness today 1 on a decidedly narrow trade. The opening j was lirm at a slight advance, September j starting at 7674fa77V4c, compared with yes- I terday's closing price of 76c. Buyers were encouraged by Beerbohm's report on t the condition of the Russian crops, th.tt I authority stating tnat wneat was lost in a large area north of the Black sea. This report also affected Liverpool, that market showing fractional advances. Weather conditions in this country were ideal in the northwest, but unfavorable in the southwest, where harvesting operations are going on, too much rain being reported from there. September advanced to 7ic son after the opening. Considerable selling was done against calls, but the advance was checked only momentarily, and by 11 o'clock September had touched 77c.

New York, June 15. Foreign houses are without orders for London account. Those who are inclined to be bearish on Sugar should permit facts to govern them. The American Sugar Refining company is not a trust in any sense of the word: it is not a monopoly, nor does it interfere with anybody, individuals or congregations of capital, going into the sugar retinin busi ness. For many years the American Su gar Refining company has paid its divi dends at the rate of 12 per cent and there is nothing, as far as Well street Is con cerned, that will prevent the payments of its profits taking place .at the same late. Tne feeling on coal stocks is vs confi dent as it has been at anv time and higher prices are looked for. Mr. Flower i. bull ish on B. R.

A drizzling rain this afternoon prevented a very large attendance at the Elks' street fair. A good deal of excitement was caused this afternoon by one of the snakes. The owner of the show was endeavoring to get it to eat and was holding a live chicken by the legs and was swinging the fowl back and forth above the head of the snake. This he kept up for fully rive minutes, at the same time giving the Fnake a push every once in awhile to induce hitn to make a strike at the chicken. The glass door of the cage was open full and the tent was crowded with people, when the snake gave a sudden bound from the cage, shot past the keeper's body and seized his arms in its powerful jaws. The people in the tent made aa rush for the outside and quite a panic ensued for a few min utes. The showman could be heard inside talking to the snake, and when the people finally ventured in the snake was back in its cage, while Mr. Lam brigger was rubbing his arm. The arm is badly discolored, but. as the bite of the serrent is not poisonous, it will cause him no harm. He says that he thought for awhile that his arm was broken.

Commercial Club Pushing "Made In Topeka" Movement The Commercial club at Its meeting last evening endorsed the "Made in Topeka" circular which has been pre pared by the committee on manufac tures, and ordered that 10,000 copies of the circular be printed for distribution among the citizens of Topeka. It shows what can be accomplished if the people of Topeka will support the manufactur ing institutions that are established here, and will go a long ways towards solving the trust problem locally. The circular is as follows: To the Retail Merchants and Consumers of Topeka: The Commercial club has taken the subject of home industry in hand and wishes to call your attention to some of the benefits to accrue from patronizing goods "Made in Topeka." If you will buy all the flour you use or sell from the home mills, ten men will be given work. If you will buy all the cigars you smoke or sell from home manufacturers, 40 more men will be given work in To peka. If you will buy all the pickles, baking powder, catsup and similar goods that you use or sell from the Topeka manu facturer ten more men will be given work. If you will buy all the woolens that you use or sell from the Topeka mill 100 more employes will be added to the rolls of the institution. In two months time you will by this simple act have added 160 heads of families to the population of your city. Five to a family would make the wel come addition of 800 to the number now residing in the city. This means that the business of the city will at once be increased nearly two per cent and that your business will ex perience the same increase. Can you afford to buy goods else where? In Kansas City, the cry "patronize home industry" has been raised and a perfect furore exists. Forty cigar mak makers have been added to the number already employed and even Topeka sent down three. Men are wearing but tons with the home industry legend on them. Business houses are proud to ex hibit the label "Made in Kansas City, U. S. A.," and as a result hundreds of dollars which were sent east are now staying in Kansas City and every mer chant great and small, is reaping, the benefit, for no other class of people spend money as freely as workingmen when they have it, and you have it en tirely within your pover to give it to them to spend. To the end that the goods from To peka manufacturers may be known.the Commercial club has adopted a label, a copy ofw hich is printed hereon. It is our sincere hope that manufacturers and merchants will as far as possible place it on all goods manufactured in the city and sold by merchants. Awnings, bee hives, books (all kinds.) boots and shoes, brooms, butter, bar ber supplies, brick, baking powder, boil ers, blinds, blankets, boxes (paper ind cigar), badges, carpets, carriages, ci gars, candies, castings, iron all kinds), cellulose, copper ware, cornices, corn meal, cider, condiments, (table), dresses, doors, door plates, engines, extracts, ex ray machines, flour, frames (picture), furniture, fur goods, hats, harness, hair goods, horse shoes, ice, ice cream, light (gas and electric), lime, mattresses.mir rors, milinery goods, monuments, metal signs, machinery (mill, etc..) packing house products, photographs, plows, pumps, proprietary medicines, rubber stamps, signs, soda water, spices, shirts, spring beds, sash, saddles.tents, trusses, tinware, trunks, vinegar wagons, wool ens and yeast, are all manufactured in Tupeka and lithographing is executed here. You can not afford to ignore this ap peal. Are you with tis? The label adopted is similar to the one published in the State Journal a short time ago when the "home indus try" agitation first commenced. VOLUNTEERS SATISFIED. They Show Little Inclination to Re enlist at Manila. Washington, June 15. Pursuing a policy determined upon some months ago. General Otis is organizing three regiments in the Philippines composed of officers and men of the state volun teers who desire to remain in the serv ice. The army bill authorized this kind of enlistment in the Philippines. If the full complement cannot be made up from these discharged volunteers in the Philippines, the regiments will be or ganized and offered in skeleton form until recruits can be sent from the United Slates to fill them. General Otis and the volunteer officers in the Philippines have been consulting to see how many men w ill enlist. The number has not been very large, as there seems to be a desire on the part of the volun teers to return to the United States with their organizations. These three proposed regiments, with three regi ments of regulars to sail from San Francisco on the 22nd and 24th. and those under orders for Manila, will give General Otis 33.000 righting men. It is stated positively at the war de partment that the report that it was in tended to reduce the cavalry troops and artillery batteries in this country to 95 men each in order to increase the com panies in the Philippines to 150 men each is absolutely without foundation.

Suck Fin Tournament Is Becoming Interesting. The contest in the duck pin tourna ment on the T. A. A. alleys Wednesday night between the Sunflowers and the Topekas resulted in a victory for the Sunflowers by two pins. The score was: Topekas. 1.208: Sunflowers. 1,210. This places the Sunflowers in the lead in the tournament. They still have one more game to play with the strong Santa Fe team, which may change the final standing of the teams. The Santa Fes and Topekas are tied for second place. The Tosekas have one more game to play with the All Stars. Last night's play changed the indi vidual averages somewhat. Carr moved up from second to first place with an average of 85 5-12. Robert Thompson improved his position and is now in sec ond place, seven pins behind the first man. Prizes will be awarded for individual and team averages. The contest closes next week. J0INTI8TS FINED. Chief of Police Announces That He Controls Situation. "I believe the jointists are routed," said Chief Ramsey today. "This 'double-barreled' ordinance about selling liquor and maintaining a place where liquor is sold is too much for them. The fines make the opera tion of the places too expensive and the proprietors cannot stand the drain upon their money drawers." Yesterday James Sheasley was fined $200 and his appeal bond placed at $1, 000. Charles Jockheck was arrested again on Tuesday evening and stoutly affirms that his place is closed and will not be opened again. Bob Pigg and W. W. Kiley, who operated on East Sixth street have closed, and A. B. Crist was arrested yesterday for sell ing liquor in the rear of the Milwaukee restaurant. KANSAS ARTIST. Channel P.

The Commercial club will not suspend its meeting during the summer. There is entirely too much business demand ing its attention. At the meeting "Wednesday evening J. B. Billard moved that the meetings be continued during the hot weather regardless of what has been the custom heretofore.

There are trusts and rumors of trusts many are mere rumors. So much is said and written about these combina tions of trade that they are naturally expected to lurk in almost every dark alley and behind every mill and fac-tory- A report that the box factory was the next victim, brought a State Journal report to interview L. H. Crandell, the proprietor of the Topeka Paper Box factory on Van Buren street. Mr. Cran dell said: "I have never been approached by any agent of a trust, and do not think a trust has been organized yet, but I believe one is in the process of forma tion, and as a preliminary to that end the larger manufacturers are endeavor ing to freeze out the smaller ones so that there will not be so many factories to be corralled. 'T have received good patronage from many of the Topeka business men who require boxes, but recently prices I could not meet have been made to some of my best customers by eastern factories. "I do not especially blame business men for saving all they can, but such a policy means the encouragement of the formation of the trust and which eventually may drive the Topeka con cern out of business. When the trust gets control the prices will, of course, be advanced far above what they would be with legitimate ompetition. "There were at one time three box factories doing business in Kansas City. Competition was so keen between them that none of them were making money. A few months ago two of them were burned up, leaving only one in control of the field, and no other fac tory has dared to go in there and start, so that Kansas City is now an easy field to control." Mr. Crandell has had experience with trusts before, and he realizes the dif ficulties before a small concern and the need of the support of the territory in which it does business. "Several years ago," said Mr. Cran dell, "I owned a half interest in the To peka Cracker factory. At that time trusts were in their infancy, but a cracker trust was organized strong enough to stifle competition. The To peka factory fought it for awhile, but the trust sent crackers into Topeka and sold" them at the same price per pound that the Topeka factory paid for its flour, so that if it met the trust price, it received nothing for the other mater ials, its labor, nor for expenses. The majority of the merchants bought trust crackers because they were cheaper, and the result was that in a few months the Topeka factory was forced Into the trust. "The trust dictated not only the price at which the crackers should be sold, but also the kind and amount of flour and lard to be used in them, so that the crackers of one factory should be no better than those of another factory. The Topeka factory was required to de posit $1,000 in cash with the trust as a forfeit to keep it from violating any of the rules of the trust. Prices were advanced in Topeka and the factory made money. Whenever another fac tory was to be run out the trust put crackers in its territory at a price far below cost, and the loss was made up from the trust treasury. The Topeka factory was eventually burned by an incendiary." CLAIMED Bl TWO. Wife No. 1 and Wife No. 2 See Their Husband Sentenced. A peculiar spectacle was witnessed in district court late Wednesday after noon. It was the sight of a man con fessing to having two wives, while both women who claimed him as their hus band sat looking on, apparently the best of friends. The man was J. L. Gilbert, who was arrested at Oakland several weeks ago on the charge of bigamy, and who has been in the county jail awaiting trial ever since. He entered a plea of guilty and Judge Hazen gave him the mini mum sentence for the offense, a fine of $100 and a jail sentence of 90 days. Mr. Gilbert evidently did not know how serious an offense he was commit ting at the time he committed it, for when he was arrested he laughed about it until the officers explained to him that he was a felon in the eyes of the law. Since then he has treated the matter seriously. That is the reason why hev was given such a light sen tence. Judge Hazen warned him, how ever, that he never wanted to hear of his doing the like again. While waiting for the case to be called and while sentence was being pronounced upon Gilbert, both of his wives occupied seats side by side among the spectators. They came to the court room together, and occasionally whis pered to each other while waiting for Gilbert's case to be called. The older woman, Mrs. Gilbert No. 1, was ac companied by her little boy, who point ed to his father when he first caught sight of him. The woman's face was hard and relentless. She had suffered enough at the hands of her faithless husband, and she wished to see him punished. With the other woman it was differ ent. She was a pretty girl of 18, and it could be seen at a glance that her affections were still centered on the man who had deceived her. The tears flowed down her cheeks and at times sobs shook her frame. She has repeat edly declared that she loved Gilbert and meant to stay by him through all his troubles. As soon as the trial was over and Gilbert had been taken back to the county jail to begin his sentence, the two women, with the little boy between them, left the court room together. BROUGHT TO A TRUCE. From the Detroit Free Press. Such occurrences as this are inevit able. The father is a veteran of the civil war and the son helped settle things in Cuba. "You don't know what war is," said the old gentleman at dinner the other day. "It's nothing to go over and clean out a lot of half-breeds and heathens. Wre fought as brave a lot of men as ever strapped on a knapsack or pulled a trigger, and we didn't come home kicking because our bill of fare wasn't up to that of a five-dollar-a-day hotel." "Oh, I guess you did your share of kicking, from what I read. And I guess you didn't strike anything much hotter than it was going up that hill at San tiago." "Papa," said little Johnny from near the foot of the table, "do you mean that a man that was wounded or killed in your war was any more woundeded or killeded than they was in brother Ike's war?" The older veteran simply hoisted his napkin on his fork, and the Cuban hero smilingly acknowledged the surrender. $32,50. $32.5G.

CANAL COMMISSION. Meets This Morning and Prepares For Business. Washington, June 15.

The only absentee was ex-Senator Pasco of Florida. Admiral Walker was elected presi dent, after which the commission called upon the president in a "body to pay their respects. Later they went to the state department and called upon Sec retary Hay, with whom they discussed somewhat in detail the plans of the work before them. WRONG MAN DEAD. Blunder of Coroner May Cause Com plication in Yoeman Murder Case. Before the coroner's jury in the Jack-son-Yoeman shooting affray had com menced to hear evidence Coroner West erfieid, anticipating the verdict, wrote it out. After the usual introduction he wrote that "We, the jury, find that G. F. Jackson came to his death by a bullet' shot from a revolver in the hands of S. E. Yoeman." The paper was ready for the jury to sign as soon as the ver dict was reached. At the conclusion of the evidence the jury signed the pa per without reading it, demanded their fees and departed. The question of the legality or the in quest arises from the fact that the man who was killed was not G. F. Jackson, but David T. Jackson. "You have found the wrong man dead," someone said to the coroner. "Oh, it's easy enough to scratch that out and put in the right name," he replied. That was done, but the fact remains that the jury came to the conclusion that some other man was killed. ATHLETIC FIELD. Washburn College May Have One of Its Own. The prospects for a good season in athletics at Washburn college next year are good. This year's base ball and foot ball teams were the best for many years and the interest in athletics has been revived.

The young man who was robbed Tuesday night in a hotel by a woman of questionable character, recovered his money. He kept hunting all day and at four o'clock in the afternoon found the young woman just ready to board a train for the west. He accused her of the theft She admitted she was "hard up" and thought she had a good chance to re plenish her purse and took the money.

POLITICAL GOSSIP. Story About Senator Baker Support ing Bailey. The politicians are gossiping over a rumor that Baker and Leland have de cided to work together in supporting Bailey for congress in the First dis trict next year. It is claimed that the conditions surrounding the preliminary skirmishes for United States senator compel Mr. Baker to work with Le land. Mr. Leland, however, denies the re port and says he has not seen Mr. Baker for some time. "When I did see him we did not talk about this sub ject, and no agreement of any kind has been made between us on congressional affairs. "Mr. Bailey may have decided that he will support Bailey in preference to Curtis, but he has informed me of noth ing concerning his intentions."

A Tip Out That the Santa To 'Will Move Its Division Point From Arkansas City. The story is going the rounds of the railroad circles that Perry Is to be made division point of the Santa Fe which 'will be moved from Arkansas City. One thing is certain that the San ta Fe is looking very kindly at Perry &nd Intends to make it an important railroad point on its southern main line. The town is the best situated one in Oklahoma for a division point of the Santa Fe. It is directly midway between Jewton and Purcell and is just about 150 miles from each of these towns. This makes proper sized freight division and It will be this fact that will have much to do with the placing of the division at that point. The Santa Fe now has a force of en gineers making the final survey of the new line from Blackwell to Perry and the construction work will be com menced by July 1. The line -will be pushed to completion at once and it is thought trains will be running over the new line before fall. A FIGHT FOR LIFE. Is the Opposition of the Drummers to the Trusts. New York. June 15. Remarkable evi dence will be given before the indus trial commission at Washington on Friday, when Percy E. Dowel the prei dent of the Commercial Travelers' Na tional league, takes the stand to testify regarding the effect of trusts upon com mercial travelers. "It is a cape of 350.000 men fighting tor their existence as a body of ex jxrt business men." said Mr. Dowe, "and I think the rank and file are fully alive to the seriousness of the situation. The 350.000 commercial travelers in this country spend on an average three mil lion dollars a day in railroad fares and hotel expenses. I have already heard from nearly 4.000 representative men. and their opinion is unanimously against all trusts. combinations and monopolies. I have collected a quan tity of evidence," continued Mr. Dowe, "and I shall be able to give the com mission a number of instances in which the formation of trusts has worked liavoc among our ranks. The chair trust threw 1.000 travelers out of em ployment. The American steel com bination caused the discharge of 300 travelers in one day from one house taken into the combine. The tobacco deal cost 350 men their positions at one time. All these points and many others I shall bring out in my evidence." YOEMAX MAY DIE. Blood Poisoning From Wounds Feared by Physicians. S. E.

"About a year ago a doctor and his wife came to board with us. We al ready had Miss G., who was at that time thin and yellow and considerably out of health. The first morning the new boarders came to the table as guests, the young lady remarked as she sat her cup down, "This is coffee!' while the doctor added, 'Not at all like the poor coffee the: have been giving us at the hotel.' I smiled behind my napkin and asked if either of them ever used Postum Food Coffee. The doctor said he had tasted (t, but it was weak, miserable stuff. Miss G. had heard of it and wished she could try it. "I said nothing, but at the end of three months, when Miss G. was ready to leave us for a new field of labor.said, I have been giving you Postum Food Coffee all the time you have been here.' What, is that coffee, Postum?'she said. I remarked that 1 had noticed with great pleasures.her daily gain in health, and now that she was leaving us after only three months at our table, she had rosy cheeks and a plump figure, which wa all the argument anyone needed to prove the fact that she had been well cared for, and the reason for her gain In health was the use of Postum Food Coffee, for no other change had been made of any account, in her food. "The doctor was very much delighted with the experiment, and discovered that where he had tried Postum before, he had been unfortunate in having it underboiled. Postum must be boiled fifteen or twenty minutes to bring out the delicious flavor, and then it will suit the taste of any one." Mrs. Flor- ouUerty, PlacerviUe, Idaho. i tending physicians fear blood poisoning. The most serious wound seems to be the one in his right hand. It was thought that the bullet was removed but his hand and forearm have swollen greatly and it may be that some of the bullet is still lodged in his hand. An X ray will be used in an endeavor to find the bullet. Yoeman rested comfortably Wednesday night but suffers consider able pain. He is still in the county jaiL GIFTS TO VASSAR.

Cleveland, June 15. A special from Xenia, O., says-a unique condition of affairs exists here, owing to the refusal of the city council to provide money for meeting the expenses of the work house. The board of directors of the work house passed a resolution ordering that all prisoners confined there should be released from custody and work on the rock pile suspended. Twenty-eight prisoners will be released. PRIZE MONEY. Attorney's Anticipate a Rich. Harvest in Commissions. Washington, June 15. The court of claims has decided to make special the claims for bounty of the sailors of Dewey and Sampson's fleets and there is every prospect that the men will' succeed in getting their money at the present term. After consultation with the attorneys and with the Judge advo cate general's office of the navy de partment, the court has arranged a set of rules which will greatly facilitate the settlement of these claims. The at torneys for the claimants have notified the court officers and the navy depart ment that they have arranged to collect the claims for a commission of not more than 10 to 15 per cent instead of the 50 per cent commission that was at first demanded in some cases; also that the commission will not be exacted in all cases, but the attorneys will prose cute those involving difficult or novel features and when the decision of the court Is announced other claimants on the same grounds will secure their money without cost, the court and the navy department, simply accepting the Judgment as sufficient. To further fa cilitate action the court has arranged to try the cases by engagements; in other words, to try at once all cases connected with the Santiago battle; then those with Manila and then the blockade and miscellaneous claims. FAMILY DROWNED. Cloud Burst In Texas Does Immense Damage. St. Louis, June 15. A special to the Republic from San Antonio, Texas, says: A cloudburst occurred in the moun tains north of Spofford Junction last night about midnight. The immense volume of water rushed down the mountain side, sweeping everything be fore it and converting dry arroyas and small creeks and rivers into raging tor rents and completely flooding the valley and level country below. At the sheep ranch of M. L. Butler, every living thing was swept away and the entire Butler family, consisting of father, mother and two children, are reported to have perished. Henry Carver, on the cattle ranch lower down was drowned. The Southern Pacific track was wash ed away in a half dozen places and two large bridges were completely destroy ed. At 1 o'clock this morning the bridge over the Pinto river was swept away. The water is flowing four feet deep over the track in many places. The Southern Pacific westbound Mexiw co and California trains were turned back to Cline this morning. The train men report that the wires are down and that the water is still pouring over the trade with tremendous force. The distance between the two main wash outs is about 20 miles and it is impos sible to gain any idea of the extent of the damage between these two points. There are many rumors of loss of life below the railroad but it is impossible to get particulars until the water sub sides. It is certain, however, that there has been great damage to cattle and sheep ranches along the streams that are now so swollen. IRON STILL GOING UP. Now a Question of Delivery and Not of Price. New York, June 15. Discussing trade conditions the Iron Age says today: In place of any check of the upward tendency in the iron markets, prices are still rising all along the line and the feeling is growing more and more nerv ous. Consumption does not seem to be checked in any direction; on the con trary it is a question more of delivery than of price. While it is true that the bulk of current business in many lines is merely the covering of urgent needs, it is equally true that a disposi tion to take hold for next year's deliv ery at or near present value is devel oping. The manner in. which contracts are being covered for material for the bal ance of this year indicates that con sumers do not hope for any receding values. Where usually contracts for a long season are placed, buyers, how ever, are not disposed to go much into 1900. Thus the agricultural implement makers have bought very heavily of bar, merchant steel, malleable castings, etc., for the balance of 1899, but against their usual custom, they are not cover ing beyond that period. The scarcity of Bessemer pig contin ues and some good sales have been made. Reports are current that some of the large works of the central west still need additional quan tities. The situation is reflected to some extent by the purchases of south ern basic pig for 1900 delivery which have already been made. In foundry iron the advance continues under a moderate volume of business. We note a sale of about 20,000 tons of southern iron to be put into warrant yard during the first part of 1900. The rush for material is well reflected by the heavy sales of muck bars in the central west, one interest alone hav ing sold 16,000 tons in the last few days. The price has now risen from $31.25 to $31.50. We understand also that there have been some very large sales of sheet bars from the fourth quarter. In bar iron the eastern as well as the western markets have had an extra ordinary rush of business and the east ern prices, which lagged behind the par ity of western prices, have now taken a rapid upward movement. The scarcity in plates continues, and with the constant flow of new ship building and bridge orders coming in it looks as if the large additions to ca pacity of plate plants would be well taken care of. In fact, we hear of one sale of 5,000 tons for next year's deliv ery at present prices. Inquiries from abroad keep coming SORES ON LIMBS Two Years. Had Eaten into Bone. Wore Slippers All the Time.

Pro Bailey Goes to a New York Training School For Teachers. Emporia, June 15. Prof. aBiley has received notice of his election to the de partment of mathematics in the Train ing School for Teachers in New York, at a. salary of $3,500, to begin In Sep tember. The following are the destinations of some of the faculty who are soon to leave the city for their summer abodes: Prof. Bailey and family, with Miss M'Louise Jones, to Bay View, Mich.; Prof. Iden, to Indianapolis; Miss M. L. Stone, to New oYrk; Misses Mc Nally and Carle, to Chicago university; Miss "Whitbeek, to Cleveland, O. CURIO DEALERS. From the New Orleans Times-Democrat. "In the great maiority of cases," said a New Orleans lawyer who makes a recreation of old china hunting, "a dealer in curios becomes infected sooner or later with the collecting mama him self, and it becomes harder and harder for "nim to part witn any or nis wares. He will put up the prices on the pre text that the things have increased in value, but really to prevent people from buying them, and in time customers be come so obnoxious to him that he will fairly drive them out of his place. I have known a. small shopkeeper for a good many years who is an excellent il lustration of this peculiar passion. Al though he claims to be desperately poor I happen to know that he has accumu lated a modest little competency, and I have been greatly interested in watch ing the gradual transformation of his character from tradesman to virtuoso. During the past year or so it has been morally impossible for him to sell any thing in his stock. Most of the stuff Is mere rubbish, but the idea of losing the smallest article fills him with an guish. Of course he will not admit this to be true and pretends that the things are enormously valuable, so as to have an excuse for fixing prohibitive prices. I was in his shop recently when a well dressed stranger strolled in and picked up a silver candlestick worth maybe $5. 'How much?' he asked briefly. 'Thirty-five dollars,' snarled the old man. 'All right,' said the visitor, laying down the money and proceeding to walk off with his purchase. The shop keeper turned pale as death. I never saw such a change in a face- in my life. He gave two bounds, overtook the cus tomer and snatched the candlestick out of his hands. 'You can't have it! You can't have it!' was all he was able to say. The other man must have sunposed him crazy, for he made no reply but picked up his money and went out at once. I couldn't help laughing. Of course it was a somewhat extreme case, but most of them drift that way eventually. It is one of the penalties of the business." PRINCESS SENT TO AS 1LUM.
