LAST EDITION ViTIDAY EVENING. TOPEKA, KANSAS, JUNE 16, 1899. FRIDAY EVENING. TWO CENTS. BURIEDJ53. Gen. Charles King Tells of Ills Brigade's Work In a Report Submitted to the Department. HEX ALL VOLUNTEERS Their Work Was Full Up to That of Regulars. High Praise GiTen to Colonels of His Command. Washington, June 16. The report of Brigadier General Charles King-, com manding the First brigade. First divis ion during the early fighting at Ma nila, has been made public at the war department. This brigade composed ot the First California, First Washington, and First Idaho saw some very harl fighting during the first days of the attack of the insurgents. It was while executing an order of Gen. King that Major MeConnville, fell leading his men of the Idaho regiment. Gen. Kins calls attention to the fact that losses of his brigade were greater than those of any other brigade in the corps. He also says that the damage inflicted on the enemy was very great, his men having buried 1S3 Filipinos. He adds: "I beg leave to call attention to the fact that this is the only exclusively volunteer brigade corps and that it fought with all the steadiness, dash and discipline of their comrades, the regulars. And now there devolves on me a duty that I falter in attempting. I saw no instance of shirking I saw many of daring leadership on part of the officers and of devoted following on the part of the men. I shrink from discriminating, yet I should not deserve the faith of the command of which I am so proud, were I to fail tt publicly mention the officers who acting under my orders were most conspicuous. My regimental commanders. Col. Smith. First Califor nia; Col. Wholley, First Washington and Major Figgins. First Idaho, bore themselves with marked bravery and ability Wholley being under the heav iest fire for the longest time his maid en fight at that. Major MeConnville died proudly heading his men in the dash on a dangerous line. "Major Weisenburger. First Washing ton, was an example of soldierly bear ing throughout. Captain Fortso was in command in Pandacan island, constant ly exposed and he and Capt. Whitting ton. First Idaho, won my admiration for their daring assault on a fiercely defended position, the redoubt across the Concordia. Capt. Otis. First Wash ington, with his cheek and ear scored by a. Mauser, led his company from start to finish. The loss of 25 killed and wounded in one company shows what they had to fight through. Lieuts. Irwin and Luhn. First Washington, the form erly severely wounded, were notably cool. Capt. Dyer and Lieut. Hathorne of the artillery won the plaudits of the men for consummate skill and coolness and for the commendation of others in line whom I did not see." SHOT FROM AMBUSH. Another of the Howards Bites the Dust. Chicago. June 16. A special to the Tribune from London, Ky., says: "News is brought here to the effect that James Howard, a member of the celebrated Baker-Howard feud, was shot from ambush and killed near Man chester last night.

Ex-Senator Allen has received an invitation from the Good Government club of the Uni versity of Michigan, at Ann Arbor, to deliver an address there during the summer, but calling his attention to the fact that "a by-law of the board of regents prohibits partisan speeches from the university platform." In de clining the invitation Mr. Allen wrote Mr. Meyers as follows: "My Dear Sir: I have your letter of the 6th instant, in behalf of the Good Government club, inviting me to deliver an address to the students at Ann Arbor some time during the present year. I thank you for the invitation, but regret to say that it will be im possible for me to accept It, owing to the fact that my time will be fully oc cupied with matters that can not be laid aside. "The by-law of the board of regents to which you call my attention, pro hibiting partisan speeches from the uni versity platform, does not suit me, for i will not speak from a platform where I an not the sole judge of the fitness and propriety of the subject I may dis cuss and the language to be used."

Our casu alties fourteen wounded, mostly very slight. Preparations for this attack in progress several days; believed to be under personal direction of Aguinaldo. "(Signed) OTIS." FLED TO THE HILLS. Insurgent Forces in Cavite Fro vince Have Scamped Off. New York, June 16. A dispatch to the Herald from Las Pin as by way of Ma nila, says: Spanish prisoners who fled Into the American lines from Imus report that the enemy has retreated Into the moun tains. They brought to Imus the bodies of one hundred killed and 300 wounded as the result of the recent fighting be tween Las Pinas and Bacoor. The Spaniards further say that the Filipino forces are demoralized and without ammunition and that many rifles have been thrown into the river. The mayor of Imus delivered the town up to General Lawton. saying that the people desire peace and to be friendly with the Americans. He declares that peace would now exist if it were not for Aguinaldo's cut-throat band. Cavite viejo is reported to have been deserted by the enemy. Thousands of non-combatants are entering the Amer ican lines. The official report shows that 121 bodies of insurgents have been buried since the recent engagements. The American soldiers are still finding bodies. A contemplated reception to the Americans at Imus was spoiled by the advent of an insurgent colonel, who is said to have threatened to have the populace killed if they did not leave. Few stayed in the town. The Fourteenth infantry and one bat tery of artillery are now garrisoning the place. The people are regaining confidence and returning in spite of the threats. Tons of concealed saltpetre and thou sands of pounds of antiquated artillery ammunition and brown powder were discovered in the powder house. Large quantities have been thrown into the river. The panic stricken Insurgents have given up several of their best defensive positions in their wild flight southward. Cavite Veigo, Aguinaldo's home, Nove- leta and the entire region where the Filipinos once thrashed the Spaniards, have been deserted after the one battle at the Zapote river. Cascoes are landing supplies easily in Las Pinas and Bacoor and on the civer near Imus. STANDARD OIL REPORT. Capital May Be Increased From a .Hundred to Five Hundred Million. New York. June 16. Interests allied to the Standard Oil company denied to day a persistent report which was afloat to the effect that there was to be an increase of the capital stock of the company from tl00.000.000 to $500,- 000,000. According to the stories in circulation. there was to be held a meeting of the trustees, who would act upon the mat ter and decide upon the distribution of five new shares in exchange for one of the old certificates. As John D. Rockefeller and H. H. Rogers were out of the city and will be away for some days, there could be found no one with authority either to deny or affirm the report. In view of tneir absence from the city, however. the report is not generally believed. DEMAND FOR MOTOR CARS. The Czar Among the Many Recent Purchasers of French Machines. Paris, June 16.

Governor of Michigan Kills Two Bills. Incidentally Giro Legislature a Piece of His Mind. HAS FAILED UTTERLY To Carry Oat the Wishes the People, He Says. of Tax Dodger's Interests Carefully Protected. Are Lansing, Mich., June 16. Gov. Pin- gree marked the closing day of the leg islature by sending in veto messages which hotly criticised .the legislature for alleged failure to carry out the peo ple's wishes. The governor vetoed the amended beet sugar bounty bill and also a bill appropriating 140,00.0, for a state building and exhibit at the Pan-American exposition at Buffalo. The beet sugar bill, as originally pass ed had been recalled from the gover nor's office, the governor having recom mended that the amount paid any sugar factory be limited to $25,000 annually. No limit was inserted, however, in the amended bill which reduced the manu facturer's bounty from a. cent to half a cent a pound. The veto message said: "This legis lature has passed no laws to equalize the burden of taxation and make cor porate and other property pay its share of taxes. It was elected for the pur pose of passing laws to equalize assess ments and taxes and to make railroads and other corporations pay as much taxes in proportion as the farmer and other small property owners It has fail ed utterly to carry out the wish of the people in this respect. The tax dodger has either controlled or obstructed leg islation. His interests have been care fully protected. The effort seems to have been made to appropriate as much money as possible out of all proportion to present income of the state and to stifle all measures framed to make the tax dodger bear his and its share of the increased expense. Governor Pingree strongly attacked the senate in particular because bills for taxing railroads and other corpora tions in like manner with other prop erty still repose in senate committees. He added: "The Republican party In convention in their platform unanimously pledged and the people endorsed reforms in taxation not one of which has been ful filled. Such violations of faith are some times as dangerous to parties as to in dividuals." As to the Buffalo appropriation the governor said: "If this Republican leg islature can not afford to make the pay of Michigan's volunteers in the Spanish American war at least one dollar per day. it certainly should not tax the sol dier's modest home for the purpose of raising a fund to enable tax dodgers to exhibit their wares in a neighboring A NEW TREATY. Reciprocity With West Indies Under Dingley Law. Washington, June 16. A' new treaty between the United States and Great Britain covering reciprocity with the British West Indian colony of the Bar badoes will be signed at the state de partment this afternoon. A conrence was held at noon today to perfect cer tain details and the signing of the in strument is to take place later in the day. This is the first reciprocity treaty under the reciprocity clause of the Dingley tariff, as the previous agree ments have been under a section al lowing reciprocity arrangements "by proclamation and without the formality of a treaty." It is the first of the series which the British West Indian colonies Jamaica, Guiana and Bermuda are seeking. PAYS AT LAST. Oil Inspector Turns $1,500 Over to State Treasurer. S. O. Spencer, state oil inspector, has filed with the state auditor his report of the business of the department for the month of May. Mr. Spencer and his deputies collected as fees for the inspection of oils and gasoline $1,793.05. The expenses of the department amounted to $28.75. The balance of $1,503.30 was today turned into the treasury. Mr. Spencer's expense account amounted to $289.75. The balance of fund for this purpose appropriated is $121.80, so he is out a small sum for May, with nothing in sight to pay the expenses for June. The oil inspector turned in last month $2,000.

Officers Hear Money Rattling But Find Booms Empty. The chief and two sergeants mar shaled several members of the police force last night to make a raid, but it proved to be a "water haul." The police had reason to believe that a gambling joint was being operated in the second story of a building on Kansas avenue between Third and Fourth and determined to raid the place. Sergeant Tim Donovan and Officer Lucas were" to enter the place from the back stairs and Chief Ramsey, Ser geant Betts and Officer Carpenter from the front. When all was ready the two squads started for the suspected place. Sergeant Donovan and Officer Lucas went around the back way through the alley, under clotheslines, passageways and stairways. Up a short flight of stairs went the sergeant. He felt around for a moment in the dark and opened a door. Officer Lucas followed. Sergeant Donovan stopped at the top and touched Lucas to stop him. The two officers could hear loud talking in the room at the south side of the hall. They waited for the chief and his party to come upstairs at the other end of the hall. Both officers could plainly hear the talking and the clink of the money as it fell upon the gambling ta bles. It seemed an age to the waiting of ficer, and finally Sergeant Donovan sent a courier- out to inform the chief that everything was ready. The chief and his followers charged up the front stairs. Sergeant Donovan guarded the rear end of the hall. Officer Carpenter unlocked the door with a skeleton key. Chief Ramsey held the electric bull's-eye lantern ready to to throw the' searchlight around the room. Sergeant Betts grasped his club a little tighter. Officer Carpenter turned the door-knob. He looked around to see if all were ready. Each one nodded. The door flew open, the crowd rushed in. The electric search light from the bull's-eye was thrown around the room. Not a thing was there. Not even a chair. Whether it was spirits or what cannot be said, but Sergeant Donovan and Officer Lu cas are still sure they heard people talking and heard the money rattle. The people talking might have been on the other side of the hall, and the clinking of money might have been the noise made on the floor below, where several girls were washing dishes. UNDER WATER.

Haremeyer. to Accuses Sugar King of Work ing In Interest Of DEMOCRATIC PARTY. Corporation Attorney Shephard Agrees With Trust Magnate. Lanterbach Deprecates Agita tion of Tariff Question. New York.June 16. The Herald says: Opinions widely different are being ex pressed in this city in regard to the statement of Henry O. Havemyer, pres ident of the American Sugar Refining company before the industrial commis sion at Washington recently. Senator Thomas C. Piatt said: "Mr. Havemyer expresses the views of a Democrat and his statement was in the interest of the Democratic party." Edward M. Sbepard. a leading attor ney for large corporations said: "I thoroughly agree with the propo sition that the serious evils of so called trusts and monopolies are evils arising from the tariff system. This general doctrine was very well put by Augustus Van Wyck in his speech at the Democratic dinner in April. What ever excuse there may have been in the past for the maintenance of 'infant industries," it is certain the United States has grown far beyond the use fulness, if there ever were any useful ness of the extreme protective system under which we now live. The true warfare against monopolies ought to be waged not by undemocratic interfer ence with the liberty of business but by dealing with the system of special privileges created by the existing tar iff." Edward Lauterbach said: "Mr. Havemyer's statement is preg nant with ideas that call for careful consideration by those who shape our national policy. The acquisition of Ha waii. Porto Rico and the Philippines and what appears to be almost the cer tainty of the early acquisition of Cuba will beget a situation. As soon as these provinces become a part of the United. States that will necessitate the most careful consideration of the tariff ques tion. No Republican would rashly and without the most abundant considera tion advocate an alteration of existing tariffs. Changes in tariffs and even threats of changes do more to unsettle business conditions than anything else and even a faulty schedule is better than agitation on the subject unless it shall result in a policy that shall be just and above all, lasting for a contin ued period." Former Representative Dewltt War ner, one of the leading members of the Reform club said: "If Mr. Havemyer imagines he can elude pursuit by cry ing "stop theif he is not the first man that made that mistake. Though the accuracy of his statements as to other people's sin make one query as to whether with a somewhat further de velopment of veracity he may not turn out to be a new Saul among the proph ets. "Should he once become converted, his courage would make him invalua ble. In the face of the facts, his own conduct and the course of sugar stock prices, his suggestion that he is pro tected by only one-eighth of one per cent is simply heroic. It is true, how ever, that since Doescher and Arbuckle have been producing he has actually realized but little more than one-eighth to which he owns up." Gen. Wager Swayne. said: "There is not a doubt in my mind that the insti tution and maintenance of a protective tariff as one of the features of the gov ernment of this country was originally wise and right and has been an essen tial if not an indispensable factor in its growth and welfare." AS BRYAN SEES IX. The Colonel Says Havemeyer Is Talk ing For a Purpose. Chicago, June 16. Colonel William J. Bryan, who was in Chicago today, said concerning the statement of President Havemeyer of the American Sugar Re fining company before the industrial commission: "We will find out a lot about these combinations before we get through with them. Here is Havemeyer, who has made millions through the agency of combinations, saying these things, which are invariably inimical to labor he could not live were it not for the high protective duties. Now these du ties were put there by the Republi cans when they got in power and they will remain as long as the Republicans stay in power, but the fight of next year will not be made on the trusts, which will constitute a purely or a com paratively collateral issue; the high tariff duties and the consequent com binations which follow in their wake are the result of the victory in 1896 over the money of the people as against the money of the men who manage the trusts. "Of course, just as Mr. Havemeyer says, 'the people are plundered through the tariff laws,' but we must go back of the tariff if we want to find where the real reason lies. This sugar trust magnate has not said anything that has not been said scores of times before, but never by some prominent an advocate of trusts. Mr. Havemeyer has some object in view in making his statements, but what it is, of course, I cannot say. "These men of millions never waste words any more than they throw away dollars; every move is calculated; they say and do things for the effect that they will have; they do not talk idly, for they are busy men; therefore, what was Mr. Havemeyer's object in making the declaration he did? We will have to wait for that." SLOAN STRIKES A WAITER Who Accidentally Spilled Champagne on Him London, June 16. The Star says to day: N After the racing yesterday (at Ascot) waiter accidentally upset a glass of waiter aecidentall yupset a glass of liquor on Sloan's clothing. The latter instantly rose from his chair and struck the waiter in the face with a cham pagne bottle, inflicting severe wounds. No doubt the affair will be hushed up, but it was the most unprovoked assault ever witnessed. MILLIONS SHORT. World's Wheat Crop Greatly Below Last Year's. Washington, June 16. The agricul tural department has issued a circular giving the substance of reports received by it up to June 10 on the condition of foreign crops. It says that a British commercial estimate tentatively puts the world's wheat crop of 1S99 at 2. 504,000,000 bushels .against 2,748,000,000 bushels in 1898, a reduction of 244,000,000 bushels or nearly 8.9 per cent. Another estimate makes a reduction of 352,000, 000 bushels. Reports from the country around Odessa and Nikolaieff, Russia, repre sent the grain crops, both wheat and rye, as almost destroyed by drouth. Taking into account the injuries here after reported in three or four other provinces within the winter wheat re gion, is Is evident that the crop of bread grain for the empire as a whole can not be a good one. It has even been suggested that the crop may not ex ceed that of 1897. Information from Germany is scant, but there has been complaint of de ficient sunshine and warmth and the Harvest was thought lucky to be a wesk or two later than usual. Later advices indicate better weather in var ious parts of Germany. According to the official report on the Austrian crops for the middle of May wheat and barley promised about an average yield, but rye and oats were below that standard. In a report of the Hungarian minis tery of agriculture issued May 20, the area under wheat was estimated at about 7,800,000 acres, against 7,100,000 acres last year and on this basis, taken in connection with conditions of plant some commercial estimates put the crops as high as 140,000,000 bushels, against 124,000,000 bushels in 1S9S, though other estimates are less favor able. Severe drought has prevailed in Rou mania and the wheat and rye crops are not expected to give more than half of an average yield. Other cereals also have suffered. No official report has yet been made as to the Indian wheat crop. Next to the Russian wheat crop, that of France is the largest and the outlook for a good yield is decidedly better than in the former country. According to the official crop report for May 10, the area under wheat is about the same as last year or very little less, while the condition is about 5 per cent lower. On this basis a crop would be, in round numbers, about 20,000,000 bushels less than of last year. In other continental countries and al so in Great Britain there has been con siderable complaint of cold, unseasona ble weather, but except in Denmark and Sweden there is no mention of any serious injury to important cereal crops. No official report has yet been made as to the Indian wheat crop recently harvested, but it is known to be consid erably smaller than that of 1898. Re ports as to the agricultural outlook in Australia are very favorable. AGUINALDO'S DEATH Is Reported But Rumor Is De nied by Junta. Chicago, June 16. The Tribune today prints the following: "London, June 16. An unconfirmed rumor is circulated here that Aguinal do has met a fate similar to that meted out to General Luna two days ago. De tails of the assassination are lacking. However, as ihe report was brought into Manila by a native, it finds some believers there and here. The Lon don papers have made every effort to verify it, but so far have been unsuc cessful. It is supposed here that the murder was done by Luna's friends." DENIED BY JUNTA. London, June 16. The Filipino junta here says there is no truth in the report circulated here and cabled to the Unit ed States that Aguinaldo has been as sassinated. J. H. ATWOOD CHOSEN.

Terrible Explosion fn Cape Rreton Coal Mine. Forty Miners In the Pit at the Time. PROCABLF KILLED. Twelve Lifeless Bodies Hard Eeen Recovered. Catastrophe Was Caused by Accumulated Gas. Halifax, N. S., June 16. A special dispatch from Glacebay, C. B., one mile from the Caledonia mine, one of tha collieries of the Dominion Coal Co. says an explosion accompanied by ter rible loss of life occurred early today. More than 40 men were in the pit when the explosion occurred and it is believed that nearly all of them per ished. Twelve lifeless bodies have al ready been recovered. The explosion was caused by gas which had accumulated in the oM workings. The night shift had just come out of the mine, otherwise tha loss of life would have been even mora appalling than it is. Some of those in the mine escaped through the top but how many is not yet known. The officials at 10 a. m. were unable to state how many were in the pit but say theer may have been fifty-five. AN AWFUL ROAR. The explosions occurred in the west pit at a depth of about three-quarters of a mile and were caused by gas which, had accumulated in the old workings. The full force of men employed in the mine at night is about 150. but the night shift had just stopped work and all but about sixty had left the mine. There was scarcely an intermission between the concussions. The first was a dull boom. Then there was a rumbling noisa like an earthquake, succeeded by a deafening, prolonged and awful roar which reveberated among the hills for miles, and the shock of which shattered glass in every direction, in the immed iate vicinity or tne disaster, urc mean ing of the sound was well understood throughout the district and an anxious people flocked to the mine entrance. Be fore they arrived suffocating volumes of coal smoke began to pour out, showing that fire had tollowed the explosion. The officials of the mine were among the first to reach the shaft. A tally ot the men showed that some three score were missing, but a moment later a' number of the miners appeared, having escaped by a slope. There were about 25 in the company who were ableto re port their presence to the anxious friends at the shaft, but several others who had managed to get out of tha slope had fallen, overcome by exhaus tion or the fumes which they had in haled. When these had been reached it was evident at least twenty men. audi possibly thirty, had been cut off by. the explosion and perished. Of the incidents attending the explos ion, the survivors were for a long tima too confused to give an intelligent ac count. There was no apparent danger at midnight nor up to 2 o'clock when the underground manager, Thomas Johnson, now missing, last reported. Shortly after 4 o'clock the watchman, smelled gas and burning wood and Manager Thomas Brown was notified. He opened the shaft just as the ex plosion occurred. The work of rescue was promptly undertaken by Assistant General Manager Johnson and Daniel Merlien, underground manager of the Hub colliery, with a large number ot miners. WORK OF RESCUE. The party were confronted with many difficulties. Men, women and children hung about the opening of the slope, weeping and distracted. Down beiow a pitchy darkness prevailed, lighted by occasional brilliant bursts of conflagra tion raging throughout the pit. Tha lamps of the rescuing party shed feeble gleams as the volunteers gropej their way down into the mine, the pois onous gases almost choking them. After a brief time a body was brought up, then another, and another, until 13 had come the surface. None of them was mangled, but all were blackened. The bodies were laid side by side in the? large room in the office building. Men and women crowded into the place anil the identifications were accompanied by most pitiful scenes. In the midst of the excitement at tha mouth of the shaft the form of Manager Brown was brought to the surface. The opening of a door in one of the pass ages was followed by an explosion, and Brown was knocked senseless by tha shock. In spite of the efforts of tha rescuing party, the proportions of the fire in the pit soon forced them to give all their attention to that. The work had to be stopped at frequent intervals owing to the danger from fire damp, and with each retreat of the men tha fire traveled with double fury. The wreck of the mine seemed beyond! question, but later the atmosphere cleared somewhat and the work of fight ing the fire was effective.

Monopolies Are Merely Machinery Used the Under Present Tariff Laws Says Magnate Hayenieyer. ISSUES ARE DISCUSSED Inordinate Protection Fosters the Trusts People Are Powerless to Remedy the Evil. Mr. Henry O. Havemeyer, president of the sugar trust, appeared before the industrial commission sitting at Wash ington, on Wednesday, and read a pa per, the main features of which were printed In the State Journal of that date. In view of the great Interest which has been manifested in Mr.Have meyer" statement, the full text of his remarkable document is presented. It is as follows: "The mother of all trusts Is the cus toms tariff bill. The existing; bill and the preceding' one have been the occa sions for the formation of all the large trusts with very few exceptions, inas much as they provide for an incidental protection to all the interests of the country sugar refining excepted. Econ omic advantages incident to the consol idation of large interests in the same line of business are a great incentive to their formation, but these bear a very insignificant proportion to the ad vantages granted in the way of pro tection under the customs tariff. "There probably is not an industry that requires a protection of more than 10 per cent ad valorem, and it is to ob tain what is provided over such per centage in the tariff that leads to the formation of what are commonly spo ken of as 'trusts.' "With a protection to an industry not exceeding 10 per cent, all menace of trusts would cease. This 10 per cent would represent the difference in cost of production and likewise act as a pro tection against surplus products of for eign countries being dumped in our lo cal markets, thereby interfering with the regular and economic working of our industries. Any advantages that might then accrue would not be dam aged thereby, as any expansion of price would be met by foreign compe tition and relief. "1 have said that sugar was an excep tion. The rate of protection on sugar Is an eighth of a cent per pound, which Is about 3M- per cent ad valorem, and is not the difference in the cost of refining between this and foreign countries. The least it should have is 8 per cent or, in specific figures, a quarter per cent per pound. The sugar refining Industry of this country, no matter what form its organization, is entitled to adequate protection, if any industry is. There are at least 100.000 people dependent upon it. What it pays, or has paid, to its stockholders in the past represents nothing more than a fair return to the capital invested, considering the ex tent of the business. "The United States tariff bill in as sessing about $40 per ton duty on im ported sugar, pays into the pockets of a few Louisianans on their annual crop, 250,000 tons, t20.000.000: to the Hawaiian islanders, probably represented by 150 foreigners, on their annual crop of 250, 000 tons, $10,000,000; say 100,000 tons produced elsewhere, in the United States $4,000,000. "Here you have $34,000,000 extracted from the people of the United States for the sake of getting the revenues which $40 per ton on foreign sugar pro vides. This is merely illustrative of the whole tariff every line of it and its effect upon the people. In fact, the tariff bill clutches the people by the throat, and then the governors and the attorney generals of the southern states take action not against the cause but against the machinery which the people employ to rifle the public's pockets. "There appears to be in the public mind a distinction between robbery by an individual and that by a corpora tion. What is commendable In an in dividual appears to be dishonest In a corporation. "I maintain that It is Immaterial to the public in what form business is done whether by an individual, firm, corporation or even trust. These are merely forms of conducting business, or In other words, machinery for the op eration of business. It is the duty of the government to see that under the tariff laws they enact this machinery can not in its action result to the detri ment or impoverishment of the public. "It would have been very easy and proper for the government to put a cor- responding internal revenue tax on su gar simultaneously with the imposition of the customs duty, and have these $24,000,000 which now go into the pock ets of a few individuals go Into the treasury for the benefit of the whole people. If no expenses of the govern ment need to be provided for and pro tection to American industries was de sired, the Imposition of 10 per cent ad valorem on all manufactured products would have settled the matter. There is every reason why, if revenue is de sired, that with a duty on raw ma- terials of foreign production a corre- i spending internal revenue tax should be levied on similar products. "I repeat that all this agitation against trusts is against merely the business machinery employed to take from the public what the government in its tariff laws says it is proper and suitable they should have. It is the government, through its tariff laws, which plunders the people, and the trusts, etc., are merely the machinery for doing it. "The statements made before the committee in congress and the speeches against the sugar refining company are absolutely devoid of truth utterly un worthy of credit. "Whether the sugar refining company has been a benefit or injury to the com munity can be best expressed in a table showing the prices for a considerable period prior to the formation of the trust and for a corresponding period subsequent. "The difference since its formation shows an advantage to the consumer note that consumer of over of a I cent per pound. 1 "What the sugar company has dis bursed in dividends has not been be- I cause of any extreme protection under j the tariff, but only out of conditions j perfectly legitimate and commendable. Their record shows conclusively that no i advantage has ever been taken by the company of any protection in excess of j the 8 per cent claimed, that is, one quarter of a cent per pound, under the tariff. "Tariff laws should not afford protec tion exceeding 10 per cent to any indus try, so that irrespective of the form of doing business, individual or corpora tion, the people, that is, the consumer. lv oulii-be protected. As the tariXt laws are and have been. It Is the consumer, that is, the great mass of the people, who has terribly suffered to the great advantage of the few of the business community. "The sugar company undoubtedly tries to do its utmost to enlarge its bus iness, but does it in a way which they consider the only proper one, that is, by making the price so low as to defy competition. "It is my opinion that corporations are under no obligations whatever to any of the states for their existence. Quite the reverse: The states are under obligations to them. It" the plants of these industries consolidated were capa ble of being put on wheels and moved from state to state you would find very active bidding for them. It Is not an unusual thing for certain localities to guarantee exemption from taxation for twenty years, free water, and in some instances give the land to corporations to have them organize under their stat utes and locate in their states. "Hostility to capital meets with its own condemnation. That is illustrat ed by the situation in New York, where a discrimination against capital has prevented its employment and driven it elsewhere.resulting in a greatly increas ed tax rate and a tendency to increase the number of unemployed. "All I have to say about trade or ganizations and strikes is that, without violence, they are natural. They have one objection, however: their tendency to reduce all labor to a low level. "Business is not philanthropy. Capital and labor will adjust their own relations if they are let alone. Interference al ways operates against one or the other. That means to the disadvantage of both. "There Is no such thing as monopoly In these days, except that what results from patents and copyrights. "The nue 'communism of pelf Is the customs tariff bill. It says to the peo ple: 'Here Is the law we have enacted for your robbery. Do not complain of it. but do your utmost to attack and injure the machinery engaged in ex tracting from you what we legislate shall be taken from you. 'Keep up the clatter while the voters on the tariff bill take advantage of the noise and enact laws that cause your Impoverishment and thus contribute to the greed and avarice of the few.' "There is a prevailing hostility to wealth. This is perfectly illogical. Every one wants money. It is the abuse of money, not its possession, which is op posed to public Interest. "This hostility finds its outlet in hos tile legislation, in unequal and unjust taxation. All this is probably uncon stitutional. It is directly against the in terest of the very class, I mean the poorer class, whom it is supposed to benefit. "Corporations, whether directly such or in the form of trusts, are an exped ient for uniting the interests of a large number of persons of smaller means, into a large aggregation of capital. "Attack upon them is, therefore, an attacks upon their stockholders. In the case of many well conducted corpora tions the stockholders are very numer ous and are often persons of moderate means, dependent upon their income for their support. "In the absence of all disturbing causes the direct tendency of a combination of capital is to promote economy, reduce ex penses and diminish prices. "This does not mean that a person hav ing anything to sell will not get for It the largest price that he can. It means that with the abundance of capital ready for investment which is always found everywhere the only way to prevent com petition Is to keep prices below tno com petitive point- "tjreat public improvements, factories and other enterprises require large capi tal. These are impossible unless through the instrumentality of corporations, or are possible only through the action of In dividuals themselves possessed of unlim ited capital. It is easy to see what in the latter case would happen to the com munity. "One form In which hostile action mani fests itself is by legislation which is in tended to keep corporations and their products out of particular states. "This legislation in some sta.tes takes the form of bills which permit citizens to buy goods and with impunity to refuse to pay lor them. This is a premium on dis honesty. "In other states the attempt Is to ex clude articles which are of prime neces sity. If the prwiucers of such articles were to follow the lead and to combine to keep their commodities out of the state it is easy to see what would result, i. e., either the people would be compelled to go without or they would be forced to pay an inordinate price. "Trade will always take care of itself. If it is left to pursue ordinary channels, A will see to it that B does not have any extraordinary advantages. It is only when the state interferes that a situation is created of which advantage can be taken against the interests of the com munity. "In these days there are two forms, and only two forms, of monopoly. One, that which results from a patent and copy rights. It is universally recognized that this is In the interest of, not against, the interest of the public. "The orher that which comes from un fair tariff discrimination. "Tariff for revenue need not be consid ered. The expenses of the government must, of course, he provided for. Tariff for the purpose of equalizing against for eign bounties or foreign discrimination does not need to be justified. Beyond that there Is no excuse for giving to one indus try a protection of W0 per cent as against per cent lor another, or any more than 10.Jer cent, "The result that th firovernment fleeces the community at large in the in terest or some favored Industry. "It must be kept in mind that this is a rich country, not a poor country. "It must be kept in mind that the object of every one is to maJte the countrv i stronger, wealthier, more important, more J influential. "The hostile action to which I referred, I legislation against corporations, If fol t lowed to it legitimate results. would i make the country less powerful, its people less prosperous, and would destroy the in- rluence which comes from the richness of i the land and its people. "Citizens are divided into two classes 1 indilSt rini nn.l thnea mho irich n ll,,, nn the Industry of others. It Is they who are without capital who are hostile to it. This Is only another nnxle of stating the ob vious proposition that it is those who are without means who wish to have it with out work." Mr. Havemeyer'9 statement 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 commis sion construed into an admission that business was not profitable now.

RAGE FORRICHES Wealth Fairly Won Seized by Greedy Monsters. The Trust Is the Great Public Enemy, WHITES J. J. 1XGALLS. Laws Ample For Its Destruc tion Not Invoked. By and By the Lamp Post and the Torch. John J. Ingalls in New Tork Journal. The gentleman who said that the love of money was the root of all evil either had the epigram habit, and was the unconscious dupe of his own exaggera tlons, or else he spoke without reflec tion and from insufficient data. It was a hasty generalization which omitted from the catalogue of the gen eric causes of evil the love of power ana glory; the hunger for fame, the passion for woman and the grape, the appetite for knowledge that is forbid den. There was no money in Eden. Adam drew no checks. Eve ran no bills. Evil in plenty exists among those who are not disturbed by the volume or the ratio or their circulating medium. But even were the aphorism of the moral ist true, which it is not, it would be no discredit to money. In a successful universe evil is quite as indispensable as good. It keeps the procession going. Without evil progress would cease. It is the contest between the forces which would destroy and those that would uphold which keeps the planets in their orbits and the constellations in the firmament. Without temptation virtue would ex pire for lack of exercise. Were evil extinct there would no longer be any pretext for religion. Nor any throne for the sovereign of the moral kingdom. Singing psalms, waving palm branches and taking constitutionals along the golden streets of the new Jerusalem would become monotonous if hell were abolished. To paraphrase Voltaire, were there no devil, it would be neces sary for man to invent one. But this is another story. Perhaps by the love of money the Dolemic meant the sordid desire of wealth for its own sake, or for the pur chase of guilty pleasures or the ac complishment of wicked designs. But the utmost ingenuity of the glos sarian cannot change the fact that among all sources of earthly power the most potent, palpable and beneficent is that which accompanies the possession of money honestly acquired and honor ably employed. Some care nothing for ambition or re nown, but everyone must have money manhood may forget the joys of youth and age sink into an- apathy which is indifferent alike -to the allurements of pleasure and the intoxication of suc cess, but no one is so young or so old as not to want money. The necessity for cash begins with the germ and ends with the period at the end of the epi taph. The praises of poverty have been pro nounced by the rich. Seneca wrote the eulogy of poverty on a table or gold, but nobody wants to be poor. Some philosopher has said that the way to have what you want is to want what you have: and another, that it is better not to wish for a thing than to have it, but money still remains the universal object of chief desire. The reason is obvious. For the individual, money means education, travel, books, leisure, superiority to the accidents of life, comely apparel, in health the best cook, in sickness the most skillful physician, the happiness of those beloved, the lux ury of doing good. For society it means libraries, muse ums, parks, galleries of art, hospitals, universities, comfort for the unfortun ate, splendor for the rich, everything that distinguishes civilization from bar barism. The aggregated wealth of the United States is estimated to be about $7,500, 000,000. Divided equally per capita, each person would have in the neighborhood of $1,000, and the. idea seems to be gain ing ground that every man who has more than this is to that degree culpa ble in that he is feloniously in posses sion of what morally belongs to some one else. AH questions In our system, except those of theology, are political, and come at last to the ballot box Tor de cision. It is a government of numbers, and the majority have less than $1,200 apiece. As things are going now, the time is not far off when the man with a hundred millions may be required to show his title, and if there is any flaw, to make restitution. Some with much less apparently an ticipate the crisis and are already mak ing contributions to the conscience fund of the nation, announcing that it is dis creditable for any man to die rich. The millionaires are on the defensive. They are beginning to apologize. Some are expatriating, which is an involuntary tribute to public opinion. Indifferent to statutes, human or divine, they dread the daily newspaper and the verdict of the people. They belong to that class, engendered by the superfluous wealth, among whom education has degenerated 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 survival 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 better for all. A man can not expect to have himself continuously wet-nursed by the govern ment. If the men do not want to buy onr stocks they need not. They don't need government protection. If they wade In and get stuck, let them get out, and, if they wish, wade in again. The fate of rival concerns is their -affair, not ours."" He declared that the tariff enabled the steel rati trust to mulct the puhiic to the extent of $9 per ton and said Inci dentally 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 element was forced to form organizations, but that In doing so they sacrificed much independ dence 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 em ploy of the trust- were paid 10 per cent more than- they could get elsewhere. Mr. Havemeyer said that many things were done In business which looked cold blooded and harsh, but that business con ditions often required conduct justifying such characterization. The farmers, 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. The witness expressed the opinion that it would be a good plan to expose the business books to a government inspector. He closed with a protest against what he called the tariff discriminations against sugar, reiterating that it was due entirely to the feeiing against combinations in business.

For whatever hatred and exaspera tion there are against wealth in the United. States, its possessors are directly responsible. They have brought it upon themselves by their senseless greed and folly and rapacity. Great rewards for great services is the law of our race. No genuine American grudges the for tune acquired by industry, courage, en terprise, forethought and genius in fair competition and honest rivalry, whether it be a millionaire or a hundred million. He does not believe that any limit can be fixed for individual acquisition, nor that the wealth of the rich is the cause of the poverty of the poor, nor in taking from those who have and giving to those who have not. Least of all does he accept those vagaries of the Impotent, which would deprive ambition of its in centive and labor of Its reward, and in stead of lifting all to the level of the highest would drag all down to the standard of the lowest. The Osage tribe of Indians, whose fer tile reservation lies between Kansas and the Creek Country, is the richest com munity in the world. Their per capita of wealth is more than ten times greater than that of the most opulent civilized nation. They number about 1.500. They have in tie United States treasury nearly $8,000,000, derived mainly from the sale of superfluous lands, drawing interest at the rate of 7 per cent. They own, in addition, nearly 1,500.000 acres of wood land, farms and pastures, worth not less than $10 an acre. Each Osage Indian man, woman and child is worth at least $15,000. Every family, upon a division, would possess on an average $60,000. It is held and owned in common. All their Industries are "nationalized." The government takes care of their property, superin tends their education and religion, pro vides food and clothing, protects the weak from the aggressions of the strong and abolishes as far as it may the in justice of destiny. All have equal rights; none have special privileges. They toil not, neither do they spin. The problems of existence are solved for them. The rate of wages, the hours of labor, the unearned increment, the ra pacity of the monopolist, the wrongs of the toller, the howl of the dema gogue do not disturb nor perplex them. They have ample leisure for intellectual cultivation and development, for com munion with nature, for the contempla tion of art. for the joys of home, but they remain Osage Indians. Socialism and communion are the pre scriptions of those who have failed. They are the hallucinations of despair. They have been tried and found want ing. Instead of being novelties they are the refuse and debris of history. Civil ization has been built on their ruins. The action of the Window Glass Trust last week will not tend to allay the irri tation between labor and capital, nor to mitigate public judgment when the day a reckoning comes. Window glass is the vehicle of light and air; the indis pensable minister of life in the hovel and the palace. Having a capital of $30,000,000, it began its nefarious work by decreasing the price of glass until the independent concerns were crushed. Having thus cleared the field of rivals, it proceeded to restrict production so that the demand might exceed the sup ply, in order to advance prices and in crease profit by grinding the consumer. The edict was issued a few days ago, and all the factories in the country, with the exception of a few co-operative con cerns, were shut down simultaneouslj for an indefinite period, and 17,000 work men, skilled and unskilled, representing through their families a population of not less than 50.000 men. women and children, thrown out of employment and left to shift or starve. This trust is a public enemy. It de liberately raises the price of one of the staples of every community for the selfish purpose of increasing its unlaw ful gains. It destroys competition. It restricts trade. It menaces the life and health of Its employes. It should be outlawed, so that Its members and its property could be dealt with as we deal with the rattlesnake, the tiger and the mad dog. l The laws are ample for the destruc AG&'.

The necessity of feeding the child was such a tax on me at first that I became nervous, weak and exhausted. "Best" Tonic waa recommended. I took it and began to build at once. Baby began to snow tne enecta witnm a week. 1 continued its use for months, un til I went out into the country and neglected to take my tonic with me. I lost fifteen pounds in six weeks, and could scarce ly feed baby. Since return ing, some three weeks ago, I have again been taking "Best" Tonic. I have gained six pounds and the little one is again progress ing. Just think, he is nine teen months old, weighs 62 pounds, and I have not weaned him yet." Let every mother apply this to her own experience and at least give the "Best" Tonic a trial, if not for her own sake, for that of her child. Let her provide for baby as nature says every mother should. To produce magnificent children was a, supreme aim among the Greeks, those lovers of perfection in those rigid ath letic exercises which aggrandized the flory of the body. For without a perfect ody how can a babe at once begin to fight the battle of existence with con quering energy, or how derive those elements of hardiness, pure blood, calm nerves and bright minel, if the mother is not prepared, helped and insured against too great weakness, given the T I bare seen very good results from the prolonged use of your Malt Extract, The "Best" Tonic, and I find the prepara tion rery beneficial, especially for nursing'women.

Mr. Curtis Is In the Race Stay Just the Same. to The friends of "W. J. Bailey have been making an effort to crowd Charley Curtis out of the race for congress in the First district because of an agreement which they claim Mr. Curtis authorized. T.iis document in substance provides that Mr. "urtis should stay out of the race in the Kirst district, accepting the support of Mr. Bailey and Mr. Inland for congress-man-at-large, the place now occupied by Mr. Bailey. The two sides to this fight are main taining secrecy as to their plans. Each refrains from precipitating a fight. But The leaders on both sides are confident of victory when the matter comes to a The supporters of Mr. Bailev claim that 1 Mr. Curtis, who was in Washington, au thorized this agreement. It wa signed by Judge A. H. Horton. D. AY. Mulvane and A. K. Rougers. The representatives ft Mr. Bail-y were John Schilling of Urown. Ira Collins of Nemaha and Cyrus Iceland. The claim has been made by the Bailev people that this agreement was authorized ty wire from Washington by Mr. Curtis. As a consequence they are insisting that "urtis get out of the race. This he de clines to do. and will tight it out with the emissaries of the loniphan county politician, who is most persistent in his cemand that Curtis retire. Tnere is a theoiy among lawyers, and jr has been upheld by the courts, thnt an ect committed under duress is not bin ling or legal. Of course a political agreement c-oul.i not be enforced by law. Thi.i theory is doubtless the one which has prompted the tbret1. Shawnoe countv men who signed that aEm! which has been so much talked about to advise Mr. "urtis to make the campaign for renom JnaTion. Judge Horton is reported to have per onaiy advised Mr. C;irtis to p.v no at tention to the agreement, because it had been exacted under duress; that is to say. Mr. Iceland and the Bailey crowd had forced lite Curtis followers to sign the document, which is now held to have erved its purpose and is not binding for the remainder of the political lives of the men who were interested in it. L. "VV. Mulvane also says the agreement J. of no value as a document to bind men. jnd he has also urged Mr. Ctirtis to make the race, despite the claims made by the opposition. A. K. Rodgei. who also signed the agreement, has taken the same position, fcnd the three men are not the kind of men who believe in dishonorable politics: ;o there is a suspicion in the minds of nome of those watching this contest th:it there are certain conditions imposed by the agreement which vlesrroy its effective ness, even for the purpose wliich Mr. lie land proposes to use it. The Kailey followers insist that Mr. Cur tis has no right to enter, the race for con press in the Kirst district. Thev claim tie is a part of the Fourth district, to which they hope to return him during the next legislature. The scheme now Is. fn the event there 5s a Republican legislature and Mr. Cur tis should secure the nomination, to have the county of Shawnee returned to the I-'ounh district and thereby embarrass Mr. Curtis.

Politicians HaveTrouble to Dispose of Statistical Agent Oarvey. The candidates for the position of state statistical agent, now held by H. O. Garvey of this city, are up against an unexpected proposition, which to dis pose of necessitates preferring charges against Mr. Garvey to secure his re moval. The candidates believed that when the place was taken out of the classified list by President McKinley all would be smooth sailing, but the place is not yet vacant and cannot be vacated except for cause. Up to date none of the candidates for the place has had nerve enough to attempt this plan of gaining possession of the office and Mr. Garvey goes on doing the work and drawing the salary. AN EARLY REFUSAL. Frank Weinschenk Says Ha Would Not Be State Treasurer. Some of the Populists down in the southwestern part of the state have been talking of candidates for state of fices and have mentioned Frank Wein schenk of Kingman for state treasurer. He is practically a Democrat, but was a member of the state live stock sani tary commission and is the man who wanted Governor Leedy to remove Tay lor Riddle from the board because, it was claimed. Riddle was not doing things as the cattlemen dictated. Weinsehenk declines to court the fa vor of offlceseeking and announces that under no circumstances will he consent to the use of his name in connection with any office. IS SAIL ROAD LAWYER.

Mr. Wilson is a lawyer and is the attorney for the 'Frisco railroad in Labette. Montgom ery, Wilson and Elk counties. The politicians fear that a railroad lawyer would not make a good race in the Third district, and for that reason Wilson has been advised to keep out. PUT HIM OUT.

It is reported at the state house that Governor Stanley has determined to rid the state board of charities of the only Populist member remaining, P. H. Do Ian of Salina. Mr. Dolan has told his friends that he will not resign until his term of of fice expires next year, but some of the Republicans want him ousted so some of the faithful may be given a place.

Burrell of Hutchinson has filed a damage suit for $15,000 against the Santa Fe Burrell fell from a moving train last November, and had his left arm cut off, while three fingers were mashed from his right hand, and hi3 back and legs wrenched, bruised and perhaps permanently injured. In his petition Burrell says he stepped on the train while it was moving at a slow speed, and while going into the car, the door of the vestibule struck him.knock ing him against the conductor.

Frank Richardson. Mgr. LONDON OFFTCR. 12 Red Lion Court. Fleet Street. TELEPHONES. Reporters' Room Beil Phone 577 Only dead Filipinos appear to stay whipped. Mr. Ingalls Is acquiring something of a reputation as a trust baiter himself. Mr. Havemeyer gives evidence of pos sessing notions about other things be sides the manufacture of sugar. The -watermelon season having ar rived in the south, there will probably be a decline in the number of lynchings while it lasts. Many newspapers which have main tained for two years that the free sil ver issue Is dead, continue to kick the alleged corpse. The collector of the Democratic cam paign fund should lose no time in see ing President Havemeyer of the sugar trust. He thinks he has been unjustly dealt with in the tariff divy and is against the whole thing. Four distinguished American citizens are now in Paris engaged in an effort to settle a dispute between England and Venezuela. Both countries are friends of the United States and the position Is thus rendered doubly deli cate. By the way, why is it that ev erything of this sort goes to Paris? What an innocent man Chief revery of the New Tork police force must be! He testified that he didn't see any vio lation of law at Coney Island on the occasion of the recent meeting between Mr. Fitzsimmons and Mr. Jeffries and was not aware that people were paying money to see the show. Yet, he said he would have prevented the affair if public sentiment had not been against him. On what grounds, if there were no infringement of law? When the steamship Bourgogne was sunk on July 4. 1S9S. Mrs. Pauline Costa Langles and her daughter were lost. The Langles estate represented almost $200,000. The question as to whether the mother died before the daughter, or vice versa, came up when the succes sion was opened, and some of the lead ing: lawyers of New Orleans were en gaged. The Jury said that it was un able to decide who died first. The judge ruled that the younger woman, being stronger than the elder, would natural ly live longer. Professor Atwater of Wesleyan Uni versity, recently kept a man shut up ten days, on a diet of which sugar and alcoholic beverages formed a consider able part- It is understood that he will report that he has determined that al cohol and alcoholic beverages perform, to some extent, the functions of food; that is, they supply the body with fuel for the production of heat and muscu lar power. It is expected that he will criticize the teachings regarding the ef fect of alcohol on the human system, which are now in vogue in public schools. Professor Atwater's experi ments have been made for the "Com mittee of Fifty to Investigate the Drink rroblem," which is composed largely of prominent educators. The commit tee's work is not along the line of tem perance agitation or reform. Its pur pose, purely scientific, is to determine exactly what effect alcohol has on the human system. The moral effects of the use of alcoholic beverages will not be considered. It is about time for some body to rise up and suggest that Pro". Atwater is in the pay of the whisky trust. GOLD ENOUGH AND TO SPARE. From the Philadelphia Times. Some little interest has been excited In financial quarters by a slight export of American gold and the prospect that further shipments may follow. The feeling Is one of curiosity rather than apprehension, as the financial condition of this country is now deemed impreg nable. The statistics show that in the matter of gold supply the United States leads the world with an aggregate in coin and bullion of $1,000,000,000, France following with JSlO.O'io.OOO. Russia with J756.600.000. Germany with $G6S.500.0C0 and Great Britain with $438,000,000. Nearly one-fourth of the billion of gold in this country is held in the gold re serve of the United States treasury, the actual amount being $234. 000.000. The withdrawal of a few millions of this abundant surplus from any cause cannot offset the financial situation or cause a tightening in the American money market, for even if the ship ments should run up to $13,000,000 or $20,000,000 the winter output from the Klondike, which will reach the mints and assay offices of the United States within a few weeks, will offset the en tire amount withdrawn. The new wheat harvest will begin to be drawn upon for export within two months. The balance of trade is certain to be in our favor with the entire year's exports and imports taken into account, and this balance must be eventually paid In gold unless a large amount of Amer ican securities are returned for pay ment by foreign holders. In the now Improbable contingency of a small bal ance of trade against us there will be increase of our gold stock of native. production of from $60,000,000 to $75, 000.000. In other words, the gold supply of the country will be increased rather than otherwise in spite of any possible con tingency, and a country with a gold stock already reaching one billion of dollars Is in no peril from any probable paralysis of business. We are without any serious foreign complications ex cept the Philippine war, and that is not of sufficient dimensions to affect the finances or business of the country. The existing monetary and business condi tions are of the most inspiring nature, and any one who can see approaching financial stringency in the export of a few millions of American gold must be hunting for business disaster with a microscope. GLOBE SIGHTS From the Atchison Globe.l Kvery insane man seems to be sane enough to buy a gun without exciting suspicion. Say what you please about kissing games: all of us play them, under the right circumstances. It occurs to us that there Is mighty little marrying going on, considering the amount of society. We are waiting for a political speaker to come along in order to learn the cor rect way to pronounce "octopus." Atchison is full of mother's boys who could be improved 100 per cent if they were bound out to some farmer for the summer vacation. A woman always curls her hair on the anniversary of her wedding day, though she may neglect it the remain ing 364 days of the year. An Atchison man has discovered a way of keeping people from working him; he does not pay his bills, and the smooth men keep away from him. Some women consider it necessary to pet up and chase a fly whenever they have callers, in order to convince their guests that they are neat housekeepers. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. All railway tourists are personally conductored. Fools never rush in where theatrical agents fear to tread. The cyclone can raise anything on. a farm except the mortgage. A diamond of the first water is one that has never been In "soak." Nothing goes as fax with a woman as a little masculine remorse. It's a poor poultry yard that doesn't contain more than three feet. Advice is about the only thing you can offer some people that they won't take. It's a poor base ball player that doesn't make a change of base occa sionally. Two men trying to entertain one wo man is a pretty good example of a silent majority. About the only difference between a doctor and a physician is in the size of their bills. Dinner in a state prison Is usually served in three courses coarse bread, coarse meat and coarse vegetables. The wise man seeks a woman with an independent fortune rather than a fortune with the independent woman attached. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR From the New York Press.! Originality is a good thing for people who don't have it. The men that have the most faorse sense do the most kicking. Love would be all 'right as a lottery if the dice weren't loaded. If a woman never threw lierself at a man's head, she would probably never strike him favorably. The average man's reputation with other women depends less on his char acter than it does on his wife's dresses. WHAT WOULD YOU THINK If people would not go wild over a hero? If Kansas towns would not be jealous of Topeka? If a boy would not be happy when school is out? If an old politician would say that politics pays? If bill collectors would always meet a hearty welcome? If many people cared what the poli ticians are doing? If photographers would not attempt to improve on nature? If the antiquated signs along Kansas avenue would be removed? If the aristocrat would believe "that all men are created equal?" If the public would remember that even preachers make mistakes? If lawyers did not attempt to make witnesses tell what they do not know? If people knew what are the constitu ent parts of many things they eat? If women would approve of clubs which consume their husbands' spare time? If lawyers would write legal docu ments so that people could understand what they mean? If a man would ever admit that he was so intoxicated that he could not perform his duty? If a young man would act while with his sweetheart as he does in the pres ence of his mother? If a young woman who has Jilted a man would not feel some degree of re morse when he marries? If the man who fails to secure an of fice would not think that the "party" is going to destruction? If the man who loses In a contest would be as anxious to have the fact published as the person who wins?

Some of the Imported Negroes Promise Not to Work. Striking Miners Offer No Vio lence to New Miners. Pittsburg, June 16. Thursday was, a day of considerable interest and excite ment in the strike situation here. The attorneys for the coal companies and the deputy United States marshals ar rived here late Wednesday night with subpoenas and orders of Injunction and began at once serving the same upon the strikers. The Western Coal and Mining company also delivered a train load of miners at its Fleming mine a little before daylight. All day long the marshals have been engaged in serving the papers, and the attorneys for the coal companies, Messrs. Richards, Ben ton, Cliggitt and Campbell, have been busy preparing the cases. A little before 7 o'clock a train con sisting of three coaches and one bag gage car arrived at Fleming from Bir mingham, Ala., loaded with 200 negroes, all men except seven. The train back ed in from the west and stopped by No. 3 shaft, where some of the men alight ed to meet about -300 miners from Chico pee and Kirkwood. who had waited there all night. After those who had wished to get off had left the train, it entered the switch and ran to shaft No. 7, where those remaining on the train were unloaded and went into quarters prepared by the Western Coal and Min ing company. The company is build ing a stockade around No. 7 shaft- The stockade is built of inch boards and is about eight feet high. It incloses a space about 800 feet square. Inside the stockade are about seventy-five tents for the accommodation of the negroes and persons who wish to work, also a wash house, a dining hall, a kitchen and a storeroom for the accommodation of the miners. The sanitary condition of the grounds is first class. The com pany has provided every comfort pos sible under the circumstances. Those getting off the train at shaft No. 3 scattered among the miners wait ing for them, and were warned not to go to work. They were somewhat puzzled to know what to do. At 11 o'clock this morning about 200 miners from Chicopee. accompanied by the band, marched into Fleming, gathered the newcomers together, treated them and marched through the camp to a school house.where they were addressed by several miners, and made to promise not to work and asked to join in the union in a very short time. Those in side the stockades are contented and expect to go to work at once. So far the striking miners are taking this turn in affairs in a philosophicai manner. The miners in the district ex cept Litchfield and Arnott Co. were idle today. Even some of the strip pit and gin shafts were stopped because of the men preferring to lay off and learn the result of the conference at the earli est possible moment. The conference convened at 2:30 o'clock and adjourned at 6 o'clock, un til next Tuesday, after agreeing to leave the settlement to an arbitration board of ten five operators and five miners. Three of each five will be call ed in from Missouri and two each from Kansas. Fort Scott. June 16. General Fore man Hurd and three negro miners of the Missouri Coal and Mining company mines at Tale and Fleming. Kan., came here secretly Wednesday night and ear ly Thursday morning met a train load of 300 negro miners imported from Ala bama to take the places of striking miners. The three negro miners passed through the train to assure the Ala bama men that the mine officers would do the right thing by them. The train traveled in darkness very secretly. It did not stop here, but went on to the Katy crossing and was switched to that road, going east to Nevada and thence south to the mine stockades. Attorney Ralph Richards, son of Cel. J. H. Richards, attorney for the mining company, yesterday collected a carload of Fort Scott negroes for guards and started with them for Fleming. At Englevale he got word that 400 miners were waiting at Yale to attack the guards, and he took them off and sent them to Pittsburg in buggies. Deputy Marshals Mooney and Trigg, with a lot of assistants and the railroad com pany's attorneys, left here in a spec ial train for the mines to serve injunc tions on the strikers. AFTER GAS. Field Between Hutchinson and Burr ton to Be Tested. Hutchinson. June 16. It is probable that in a short time a company will be gin prospecting for gas between this city and Burrton. Mr. E. H. Hoag of Newton, who has secured a franchise for furnishing Hutchinson with natur al gas was in town Thursday. The city council of Wichita has now granted Mr. Hoag a franchise of that city for the same purpose, and a franchise at New ton was secured some time ago. "Now." said Mr. Hoag in talking of his plans, "I am ready to go to work organizing a company and prospecting for natural gas. Personally I am satis fied as to what the result will be. The gas was located ten years ago. In one instance there was great enough pres sure to drive the workmen from a 60 foot well. I do not believe in there be ing such a thing as a pocket of gas. There are already located three sepa rate gas fields at almost equal dis tances from Hutchinson, Wichita and Newton. Hutchinson is a little farther away than the other towns, but this will give Wichita and Newton no ad vantage. It is my belief that the body of gas will be found in the third sand at a depth of not more than 1,000 feet." SOME OLD PEOPLE. Interesting Facts Shown by Dickin son County Census Takers. Abilene, June 16. The census taken by the various township assessors show some interesting facts relative to the number of old people now living in this county. There are 232 men and 171 women who have lived to be 70 years of age or older. Of these the oldest are Alexander Gunn and wife of Lyon township, who are yet active and hearty at the respective ages of 107 and 67 years. Both are natives of Caithnes shire, Scotland. Next in age is Mary Mary Hopkins of Solomon, who is 92, and next are Milton Edwards of Abilene and Mrs. Johanna Caiene of Center township, who are both past 89. There are 31 men and 28 women between 80 and 99 years of age. With a total population of 21.868 in the county, about 2 per cent are three score years and ten or over. ARGENTINE LOSES 10.OOO. Defaulting Treasurer Left Little Property Behind. Argentine; June 16. At the time of the disappearance of John E. Wiscoskie, the defaulting ex-treasurer of Argen tine, the friends of the embezzler eon tended that his property would fully cover the amount he stole from the city, but the report of the appraisers, which was filed in the district court yester day, shows that their claims were ab surd. The defaulter's shortage is over $18,000, and the men who looked after his assets say that the most the city can realize from what he left behind is less than $7,000. Wiscoskie converted to his own use al most every dollar that passed through his hands during the six years he acted as guardian of the funds of the Silver City. SWELL BELOIT PARTY. air. and Mrs. A H. Ellis Entertain 200 Guests at Home. Beloit, June 16. The largest and most successful society event ever given in Beloit was that of the famous Round Robin club, who richly entertained all the other society clubs at the home of Judge and Mrs. A. H. Ellis. The beau tiful lawn was decorated and lighted, and seats were furnished for the ac commodation of over 200 who were pres ent. A fine musical pro Gramme was ren dered, after which the entertainment was turned over to the Fatal Ten club, composed of marriageable voung ladies. but the rules and regulations of their club say their members cannot marry as long as they are members of the CJUO. They served ice cream, strawberries and cake until a late hour. POSTMASTERS' SALARIES. Officials In Many Kansas Towns Get an Increase of $100. Washington, June 16.

STOOPS HERE. She Comes to Topeka to Plead With Got. Stanley For Pardon. Mrs. Harry Stoops appeared before Governor Stanley this afternoon accom panied by two pretty little girls, one probably 5 years old, the other younger, and made a plea for a pardon for her husband who is now serving a term in the penitentiary for abducting Marjorie Wallace of this city. Governor Stanley for the fourth, time declined to pardon Stoops although Mrs. Stoops pleaded with him to do so, urg ing upon the governor the fact that she needs the husband's support for herself and care for the children. Mrs. Stoops, the woman who today appeared before the governor, upon the witness stand in the trial of her hus band swore that she was not and never had been married to Stoops in the hope of saving him from the penitentiary, as he claimed that he had been married to Miss Wallace whom he was charged with enticing to Chicago. Governor Stanley today took action in the following applications for par dons: S. P. Watson, Norton county, assault; pardon refused. "William Hupp, Sedgwick county grand larceny; refused.

New Tork, June 16. It Is not only generally admitted at the treasury that Charles Lyman, appointment clerk, is the author of the text of the president's civil service order as well as Secretary Gage's defense of it, but an effort is be ing made to make capital out of the fact that Lyman was formerly connect ed with the civil service commission. Hence, it is said, he, as a civil service reformer, made only such changes as were necessary for the good of the service. Mr. Lyman's connection with the civil service commission Is not recent, and his retirement was not entirely volun tary. There was a scandal in the office of the commission some years ago from which the fact was developed that a trusted clerk of the commission had been selling examination papers. UnfoT- Tonight. HATS ana 75c, $1.00 and $1.50 39C Knox's are $4 and $5. 44c tunately for Mr. Lyman, the dishonest clerk was a near relative, and hence it seemed best, although he was not charged with any guilty knowledge, that he should retire from the office. Accordingly he joined the great army of "unattached" officials, and remained on the outside until the present admin istration, when he was restored to a place in the treasury, and subsequently became appointment clerk, fining a position which is as nearly political as any place in the treasury can be under existing laws. In any event Mr. Ly man's connection with the civil service commission has hardly been of the character to justify classifying him among the reformers. RIO GRANDE FLOOD.

Some weeks ago Fred B. Glover, representing a Kansas City live stock firm, rented the Oak Ranch," containing 10,000 acres in the southwest part of this county.

DCPREE'S TRICK. How He Secured a Successor aa a Boot Black. Abe Hiatt, black and cunning, is in the city jail again, charged with the same old trouble stealing brass to sell at junk shops. When he was arrested Abe decided to plead not guilty and stuck to his resolu tion. The station had been without an active trusty for some time and needed Abe. Big Andy Dupree is in for 200 days being cured of bis same old trouble of selling liquor. He has acted as trusty, but big belies move slowly. When the chief wanted his shoes shined Andy was called. He was slow getting down onto has knees and rather awkward at the business, but he was willing. First he rubbed on the red stuff from the bottle and took a big piece of red flannel and rubbed It into the leather, while the chief talked to some unfortunate with troubles. Then Andy rubbed on the wax from the little tin box. and. taking the ends of a rag in his hands, sawed the greasy rag across Ihe shoes, working up a gloss. Andy's big body swayed to and fro and the drops of perspiration fell from his massive brow. When the Job was through he went ioto the corridor and talked through the bars to Abe. "Looke 'ere. Abe." he said, "youse gwlne ter go inter de cot room and plead guilty." "Huh huh, n sir. I'se not guilty." "Yes. I'se sure ob dat. You neber stole no brass, but den you go in dere and say youse guilty." Abe went in and pleaded guilty, and Aiifiv smiled. "What are you smiling at, Andy?" asked one of the officers. "Kase Abe'll have ter shine de chief's shoes now. I'se gwine ter be de boss trusty. It am too heavy er work fer me." Head of Banana Trust Sick. New Orleans.June 16. Minor C.

USEAJ3LUB. Elk County Doesn't Want a High School. Suit Commenced to Force People to Build One Any Way. LEGISLATIVE ACTION. Legislature and Commissioners Clash on Question. Board Refuses to Obey Com mands of Lawmakers. According to a case filed in the su preme court today the commissioners of Elk county have been ignoring and violating a new law in a manner alto gether unknown in the records of juris prudence in Kansas. The 'last legislature enacted a law establishing a county high school at Howard, in Elk county. The law con tains the following: "The board of county commissioners shall appoint at their first regular session after this act shall take effect trustees" to take charge of the business connected with the new institution. It will be observed that the law is Mr. George Gerrard Tunell. mandatory so far as the requirement pertaining to the action of the com missioners is concerned, yet the com missioners have refused to take action and the suit is the result. It is brought on the relation of the state of Kansas by the county attorney, W. A. McCaus land and is a mandamus proceedings to compel the commissioners to name the trustees and proceed to comply with the law. The reasons why the commissioners failed to act are an interesting feature of the case. The board met in official session with the intention of naming the trustees June 1. R. W. M. Roe, representing the citi zens of the county, appeared before the board and presented a petition contain ing 1.903 signatures, asking the board not to take action towards complying with the requirements of the law. The petition which is made a part of the case filed in the supreme court, sets out the following reasons why the com missioners should not act: First The people of Elk county have not been consulted or have had no voice in the matter. Second We believe the act was Il legal, unjust and uncalled for. Third We believe that our county is not able at present to build and sup port a high school. Fourth We believe to force this school on our people would materially injure our district schools by taking money we need for their support. Fifth We believe that on account of the strong opposition to the school it would not be a success if established. The county commissioners thereupon by a majority vote decided to annul the law and agreed to take no action. The members of the board. S. Z. Ellsworth and L. A. Freeman voted this way, but Jefferson Hurst voted "no" and in sisted that the commissioners comply with the law. Then the litigation was inaugurated. The petiton incidentally crticises Representative L. Scott, who fathered the bill in the legislature. It refers to the law as "Scott's special act" and states that the law was prepared and passed without consideration for the taxpayers and citizens of the com munity. As a reason for taking the place of the supreme court and declaring the law unreasonable and unnecessary, the commissioners state that the petition against it is signed by a majority of the taxpayers of the county. A law passed in 1886 provides the method for the establishment of county high schools and this law has been held constitutional by the supreme court. The enactment of the special bill is for the purpose of enabling the county to avail itself of the opportunities afford ed by the old law. It Is the opinion of lawyers who are watching this case with much interest that although there may be some opposition to the county high school, that the proceedings have been regular and that the commission ers have clearly violated the law by re fusing to name trustees to take charge of the high school work. An alternative writ of mandamus was Issued by the supreme court, returnable July 5, at which time the case will come up for hearing. The "Victor" bicycle for $30 until June 30.

The indis cretion displayed by Patrick Broughal in visiting Mrs. Robert Redpath in the absence of her husband, after being warned to keep away, led to his being treated to a coat of tar and liberally sprinkled with feathers last night. For some time Broughal's attentions to Mrs. Redpath had been offensive to several persons in the community. Last night he was seen to go into the Red path home, and late in the evening ad mission was demanded by a party of masked men. This was refused, and the mob promptly smashed out a window, made an entrance, took Broughal out to a retired spot and administered bis punishment. He received no bodily in juries. His clothing was ruined and his hair was filled with tar. He went back to his boarding place, in North flelcl, and left here on a morning train. Mr. Redpath had warned Broughal to keep away from the house In his ab sence, and when Redpath went to New Brunswick he left word for the neigh bors to take care of Broughal if he vis ited the house.

BEST OF HEALTH. Is Declared to Prevail In the Army In the Philippines. New Tork. June 16. The statements to the eJTeet that men around Manila are dying like flies and that the war department has been compelled to sup press the regulation health, reports which it was formerly customary to make public, turn out to be gratuitous ly false, but serve the good purpose of bringing out the fact that the health conditions in the American aj-my under General Otis are not only astonishing ly excellent, but have probably never been equaled in any army in tropical countries, says the Washington corre spondent of the Tribune. Compared with that of last summer in Cuba, the comparative immunity from death or serious illness of the troops fighting outside of Manila seems little short of miraculous. From the landing of Gen eral Anderson's first military expedi tion near Cavlte on June 30, last year, up to the last weekly report from Gen eral Otis, dated June 6. there have been only 364 deaths from disease, although his total force has been 40.000 men. In the same period 69 men have died from wounds. In view of the notorious insalubrity of Manila and its environs, these figures are almost incredible. They challenge contrast with the best English experi ence in Egypt or in India, and they surpass even the excellent conditions that exist in Cuba, where there is no fighting and the men are not exposed to the elements, but have comfortable grarrisons. Men drowned or who have died from injuries received otherwise than In battle are counted in the total of 364. This total is interesting com pared with that of the men killed out right in action with the Filpinos from February 4 to June S.ooverng the period active hostilities.

This great disparity demonstrates what improve ment has resulted, from the experience of the Santiago campaign, when 2,000 men died from disease and only 260 were killed. In fact the health ques tion in the Philippines has apparently lost its novelty, and no question having been raised about it from this side of the ocean, no recent cable reports from General Otis contain any allusion to it. JUDGE REAGAN TELLS What He Knows About Discrimina tion In Freight Bates. St. Louis, June 16. Judge John H. Reagan, chairman of the Texas board of railroad commissioners, appeared be fore the interstate commerce commis sion today and made a statement in re gard to the alleged discrimination against domestic and in favor of ex porting handlers of grain and the al leged discrimination against the pro ducts of grain. It has been charged that railroads making export points have made spe cial rates on grain for export and th commission received a protest from the handlers of grain for domestic con sumption. It was also charged that there was discrimination against the products of grain. The meeting today was largely at tended by railroad men connected witfi western roads. Most of the morning session was devoted to hearing Judga Reagan, who appeared for those who are protesting against the alleged dis crimination. Arter stating the situa tion as it appeared to him and in an swer to a question as to the most prac tical remedy for the difficulty. Judge Reagan suggested that there should be a meeting of railroad men and ship pers fom all over the country at which the situation could be thoroughly can vassed and some agreement reached which would be satisfactory to all con cerned. He though it possible for the railroads and the shippers to reach such an agreement. Chairman Knapp asked if, in view of the 2rislation against rate agreements and the decisions of the courts uphold ing such legislation, it would be possi ble to make such an agreement valid before the bar. "I am not wholly pre pared to answer that question," replied1 Judge Reagan, "and I am inclined to believe it would be necessary before an agreement could be reported that we have some more legislation on the sub ject. This would be necessary. not only to make the agreement valid and binding, but also to fix penalties for its violation. Certainly the spirit of such an agreement is not opposed to the spirit of the laws ag'ainst pools and trusts. Such an agreement would be for the benefit of the people and the shippers as well as the railroads. There lij certainly some middle ground upon wi'iith all can stand with equal advant ap" Clvairman Knapp thanked Judge Rea pan tfor his valuable suggestions, andi the ttrJcing of testimony from the rail road men on the question involved was resume.!.

June 16. Professor O. T. Morgan, the alifged heretic who was tried before the trustees of Drake University last April and transferred from the theological department to the rhair of Hebrew and Greek languages, was today removed from the faculty and institution altogether by the trus tees. General Francis M. Drake, former governor of Iowa and founder of the university, presided at the meeting and seemingly strongly favored the removal of Mcrgart. who has denied the inspira tion of the Bible. He acknowledged that the Bible was the history of an in spired or noble people, but denied its divine authority as a book. When the trustees met in April the affair reached a crisis amen? the students, who had taken sides and published anonymous statements on both sides. Morgan was very popular with a large majority of the students, and some of the trus tees and faculty greatly admired him. Bo he was retained, with a change of work and an increased salary. Gen. Drake says he has been re moved, not particularly because of his views, but because he has carried the controversy into the denominational papers of the Christian church, and has been writing; freely on his side of the question, encouraging- students to de part from the established creed. The trustees voted 12 to 4 after dis cussing the matter all the afternoon, to remove him. though H. O. Breeden. pas tor of the Central Christian church of this city, the leading minister of the denomination in the state, was opposed to It and spoke in defense of Morgan, against whom, he said, nothing had been proved sufficient to warrant his removal. Gen. Drake summed it all up by say ing: "No one will criticise us for de fending the Bible." $32,50. $32.50. The above greatly reduced rate has been made by the Union Pacific to Cali fornia points.

Topeka Kan Goes to Pittsburg to Advise the Miners. O. t. Clemens leaves this afternoon for Pittsburg in response to a telegram asking him to come down there and ad vise with the striking miners. He re ceived a similar telegram Thursday af ternoon, but refused to go at that time unless it should be absolutely necessary and he wired a reply to that effect. This morning he received another tele gram asking him to come at once. The telegram were sent by the local attor ney for the strikers at Pittsburg. This will not be the first experience Mr. Clemens has had with strikes. Dur ing the great strike among the miners in 1S93, he advised with the strikers and assisted in bringing about peace negotiations. "I do net know enough about the slt tiation down there to tell what can be done," be said, "but if Judge Hook has only granted a restraining order instead of a positive injunction, it will allow us to bring a question of equity before the federal court in a manner that will al low courts to settle the whole question of strikes." CATTLE WAR. Supreme Court Orders the Release of Rawlins County Men Who Were Arrested Application was made in the supreme court today, under habeas corpus pro ceedings, for the release of seventeen men from the custody of the sheriff of Rawlins county. This litigation in volves a large number of prominent cattlemen. The court granted the ap plication and will hear the case July 5. The bond of each of the parties plain tiff was fixed at $300. Some weeks ago F. B. Glover, repre senting a Kansas City live stock firm, rented the Oak ranch of ten thousand acres in Rawlins county. When he at tempted to take possession of the prop erty his rights were questioned and a force of fifteen men under the direction of C. P. Dewey of Chicago, who claims Trir. rr'ht t the nmnertv. went to work to run Glover and his thousand I head of cattle off the ranch. There was much loud talking and a generous display of firearms but up to date no blood has been shed. The first conflict ended unsuccessfully for the Deweys but the cattle owned by Glover were later stampeded and driven from the pasture. This is charged to Dewey. May 31 Glover secured a temporary in junction against the Dewey forces and against Mr. Dewey himself. However, the injunction was ignored and two thousand head of cattle have been driven to the ranch. Judge A. T. C. Geiger cited the men for contempt. They were brought before the court but pending trial have instituted habeas corpus proceedings. The men arrested for contempt and who now seek re lease from the custody of the sheriff are: Dempster Scott. H. J. Bamhouser. W. J. Ratcliff. Charles Kendall. Charles Scott. Joseph Yates. Walter Wallace, Chauncey Dewey. Albert Winchip, Wil liam Brewer, Harry March, G. J. Mar tin, E. C. McXemar, John Johnson. B. C. Robertson and Albert Long. The attorneysfor the plaintiffs in the habeas corpus proceedings are Sam Kimble of Manhattan. Bertram and Wilson of Oberlin and Howel Jones of Topeka. POINCARE DECLINES.

Should Be Decidedly More Con vincing to Topeka People Than Proof From Utter Strangers. The statement which follows, like all that have preceded it on this subject, is from Topeka. It is not from some distant corner of the Union. Topeka people cannot flinch from testimony like this. Mr. Henry Page, No. 302 East Fourth street, a resident of Topeka for twenty years, says: "A five weeks' attack of grippe left me as it does many others, with a weakness of the kidneys. The pain across the loins and the trouble with the kidney secretions, particularly noticeable at night. were.to say the least, annoying.and I thought if Dean's Kidney Pills performed half what they prom ised, the treatment might help me. I procured a box at Rowley Snow's drug store, corner of Sixth street and Kansas avenue, and took it. The treat ment was very satisfactory. To say I endorse Doan's Kidney Pills is a mild way of expressing my opinion or that remedy."

Remember the name, Doan's, and take no substitute. EXPENSIVE ANNOYANCE. Land Holders 'Who -Have Been Wor ried by Lawyers, Relieved at Last. The M. K. T. land grant cases, which have been in the federal court for the past 15 years, are to be simpli fied in a degree by the dismissal of the complaints so far as all innocent pur chasers are concerned. This will remove from the controversy those lands out side of Allen county. The case still stands as against the M. K. T. and those defendants who own land in Allen county. There are questions which enter into the title to the lands in Allen county which have nothing to do with the other cases. An old grant enters into it, and some of the parties settled on the land before the M. K. T. received its patent. The dismissal of the case against those defendants who are innocent pur chasers was in accordance with the findings of Charles Bucher. of Newton, who was appointed master to examine the case. The case will come up for hearing at Leavenworth next Monday. KIDNAPERS PUNISHED. Sentenced to Terms In the Penitentiary. New York, June 16. George Beaure gard Barrow, the principal in the kid naping of Marion Clark, the infant daughter of Arthur Clark of this city, was today sentenced to fourteen years and ten months imprisonment. The trial, which was begun on Wednesday, when Bella Anderson, or Carrie Jones, the tool of Barrow and his wife, gave her evidence for the state, was con cluded with testimony intended to es tablish the previous good character of the defendant. The summing up by counsel was very brief and the case was given to the jury with a few words of instruction from the bench. The jury .after being out about five minutes, rendered a verdict of guilty and sentence was passed as above stated. Carrie Jones, who pleaded guilty, was sentenced to four years' imprisonment. The trial of Mrs. Bar row as her husband's accomplice will follow. STANLEY WILL WAIT. Governor Refuses to Discuss Impor- tation of Southern Negroes. Governor Stanley this afternoon de clined to discuss, for publication, the importation of southern negroes into the southeastern Kansas mining dis trict where the strike is now on among the laboring men. Asked for his opinion the governor replied by saying: "I don't know any thing about it." "What is your opinion?" "That is too important a subject to be interviewed upon."the governor said. "I will say nothing until we see how this trouble is going to end." HE WANTS A DIVORCE. Columbus, Ind., Man Wearies of Har ried Life at the Age of 103. Columbus. Ind., June 16.

They are now on their way north, and w-ill drive from Park Rapids, Minn., to Hernando de Soto, where the start will be made. SHOW A COLUMN OF GOLD. Flans For Dazzling American Attrac tions at the Paris Exposition. New York, June 16. A meeting of Commissioner Peck and the members of the staff of the New York office of the United States commissioners to the Paris exposition of 1900 was held here today to discuss the allotment of space to exhibitors. E. W. Runyon, the California state commissioner, said that California had appropriated $130,000 for the exhibition already, the largest amount given by any state, and would put up $100,000 more if assurances were given that ade quate returns would be got for the money. Commissioner Peck suggested that it California would contribute a certain amount to the general fund it would be given a special room in the national building. He said that this offer would be good to every state in the Union. No state buildings will be permitted. Commissioner Peck said it was planned to have five star American attractions at the Paris exposition. One of these is to be an exhibit of the gold mining of this country, being a gold column con taining tl. 000.000 in gold. Another will be an American trolley line six miles long from the American landing to the national building down the Seine. A third will be a pier landing, where Americans will take steamers carrying the American flag for the Vincennes woods. FAULT IN UNIFORMS. Soldiers In the Colonies Complain of Their Clothing. Washington, June 16 Complaints con tinue to be received from officers in Cuba and the Philippines in regard to the uniform which the troops are wear ing. Constant changes have been made to conform to the climatic demands of those localities, but there still remains a great deal to be done for the comfort of the troops. The inspectors have en countered numerous suggestions and have transmitted them to the war de partment, where a diversity of opinion is noted, to the confusion of the whole subject. Many of the articles issued to the troops are declared unsuitable for mil itary uses. This is accounted for by the fact that inferior goods were bought in the haste of acquiring military sup plies in the days just before war broke out. Lately the contracts have been made with greater care and inspection of material has been more rigid. The purchases, however, have not always been' satisfactory to the officers and men who must wear the clothing bought. The quartermasters are desirous of se curing the best material, and such as will be most conducive to the comfort of the soldiers, It is proposed, among other things, to authorize coats and trousers of bleach ed cotton duck for non-commissioned officers and bandsmen and of unbleach ed duck for the privates. While linen caps will be worn, the officers will be provided with a light white helmet, and cork helmets are to be worn by the sol diers. Straw hats will be adopted for fatigue duty dress by the enlisted force, and the white collar will be worn when summer clothing is permitted. It has been suggested that the matter of uniforms be taken up systematically, and departmental commanders mean while be permitted to exercise discretion in the matter of dress for the troops of their commands.
