LAST EDITION SATURDAY EVENING. TOPEKA, KANSAS, JUNE 17, 1899. SATURDAY EVENING. TWO CENTS. MARLBORO TEAM Outclassed All the Others at Ascot Heath. 31 any Noted Americans Attend the Races IX GORGEOUS RAIMENT Mark Twain Guest of Honor at White Friars Club. Dinner Attended by Many Eng lish and American Authors. tCopyright, 1S99, by Associated Press.! London. June 17. England had the Hisual mixtur? of winter and summer this week. Until Thursday It was so cold that the weather seriously inter fered with the brilliancy of Ascot, to which place the social headquarters was transferred. 'Women appeared in furs and heavy coats and the men wore vercoats. But on Thursday and Fri day beautiful summer weather enabled the fair sex to make dazzling display of light, airy dresses and brought an enor mous assemblage to the royal heath. There were more coaches than usual, the team of tiie Duke and Duchess of Marlboro, being specially admired. In the royal enclosure there was a large contingent of Americans, includ ing all the members of the United States embassy, the Bradley Martins, Mrs. Bonynge, Lady Deerhurst. Lady Wm.Beresiord. Ladv Randolph Church Ill, and Mrs. --Jack'- Leslie. On Thurs day, cup day. the dresses were espec ially beautiful flowered muslins pre dominating. The Duchess of Marlbor ough wore white silk covered with fine Mack lace; Lady Mary Sackville was dressed in white lace over white satin with hanging sleeves of lace and touch of blue satin at the waist and a large leghorn hat embellished with pink roses. Lady Hesketh's costume was of flow ered muslin. She wore also a beautiful necklace of round opals. ABOUT THE SHAMROCK. In spite of the abnormal secrecy in writing connected with the America's cup challenger Shamrock, a representa tive of the Associated Press has been able to glean a few facts about the boat Interesting alike to yachtsmen and the general puolic. The original esti mate of the cost of the vessel has nearly doubled, but Sir Thomas Lipton will not have to foot the whole of the bill as the Thornycrofts, who are keen ly interested, hoping the Shamrock's success will add laurels to the firm's reputation are bearing a portion of the expense. Those who are Inside declare the yacht's construction is absolutely unique and that the amount of metal employed will be a surprise to the yachting world when it is divulged. In color and texture the alloy has the appearance of aluminum of which in deed, it has a large percentage. It possesses extraordinary resistance and lightness and has been used everywhere where wood was not considered abso lutely essential. Great difficulty has been encountered in molding the plates. Although the sheathing tends to give her a heavy appearance the yacht has in reality been built for light weather and It is considered that her chances of success will be reduced should the weather be heavy during the cup races. Her deck and overdeck arrangements as regards sails, etc.. are considered original and peculiarly effective'. Light larchwood berths are being fitted for the use of the crew in crossing the At lantic. The contracts of the crew have been signed for six months certain in racing pay and substantial bonuses friave been promised in case of victory. The first appearance of the Sham rock will be at the Hunter's Quay re fratta. Firth of Clyde, where Sir Thom as Lipton gives a 100 guinea cup. The cup challenger will not be regularly raced, but will take a few trial spir.3 and may perhaps be tested in a race or two. but that will be arranged ac cording to the weather. If it is wet. Captain Hogarth will not set the new mainsail. From the Clyde the Shamrock will proceed to the Royal Ulster regatta in Belfast Lochs where the same course in regard to her trials will be followed. It is very improbable that Shamrock ho go to Cowes and meet the Prince of Wales' cutter Brittania. She is more likely to be placed under ketch rig and got away immediately for New York 1'rom North Ireland, so as to get a good Atlantic passage. A DICKENS SALE. Remarkable prices were realized at the Dickens sale at Sothebys this week. A first of the edition original parts of the "Pickwick papers" presented by Charles Dickens to his sister-in-law, Mary Hogarth, brought 105 and other copies were sold for 85 and 63 a copy. An "American Notes," presented by Dickens to Thomas Carlyle. sold for 61. the original autograph manu script of Dickens' "Battle of Life" on 50 MUirto pages brought 200; Forster's Life of Dickens containing autograph letters, manuscripts and portraits of literary celebrities was knocked down for 500 and Dickens' "Cash Book." when he was in the office of Lawyer Blackmore. showing Dickens' salary to (lave been 13 shillings, 6 pence per week, brought 95. MARLBOROUGH GEMS. Connoisseurs are greatly interested in he forthcoming sale of the Marlborough gems at Christie's. It will be the most important of its kind since 1S75 when the pamc collection was sold on block for 33.000 guineas. The purchaser, David XrtHiiilow, maintained the collection in tact. but he recently died and the gems wlfich the third duke of Marlborough spent the best part of his life in gather ing will be scattered. They are largely ameos and intaglio3 belonging to the -tnturies between the reign of Augus tus and the end of the Antoine period, jt U urged that the best should be se cured for the British museum. The charity bazaar to be held at Al bert hall in aid of the funds of the Charing Cross hospital is much talked of among the aristocracy and others. A representative of the Associated IPress has Interviewed the Countess of Chesterfield and Mrs. Arthur Paget on the subject. The latter said: "We have practically got every noted family in London interested. Mrs. Bradley Martin has brought choice silver objects rfe art. from Tiffarv's and Whiting's. ;Mra. Ronalds has been in Paris all week buying things for the bazaar. The- Misses Drexel and Swift and Mrs. Clarence Mackay are getting together a. fine collection for the American stall, .t which the stall holders will be at tired In white gowns, lace fichus, sashes of the national dors and large picture hats." TO SEE ANOTHER CENTURY. Prof. Mazzoni revisited the pope early this week to examine the scar from which the bandage was removed only three weeks ago. The pope asked him how long he thought he would live and the surgeon replied: "I believe your holiness will see the new century." The Democratic tendencies of the times were well exemplified in the Cam bridge mathematical tripos list, issued a few days ago, in which a colored man was bracketed senior wrangler, another senior, the son of poor parents who be gan his education at an elementary day school, and the third and fourth wrang lers were Australians. Paranjpye, bracketed senior, was the first Indian who ever secured the honor. He is a Muhratta Brahmin, educated at Poona, Bombay, and was sent to Cambridge in 1S96 with a government of India scholarship. Archbishop Ireland is expected in London June 21 and the United States ambassador. Mr. Joseph H.

Mr. Frohman's London Cri terion season opens in October with "My Daughter-in-law. "an adaptation of a French comedy. His New York Cri terion season opens September 5 with "The Girl from Maximes." Mr. Frohman startsfor Paris Tuesday to initiate a very important theatrical scheme there. DINNER FOR MARK TRAIN. The dinner which the White Friars club gave Mark Twain last evening at the Hotel Cecil was a remarkable trib ute to the author and at the same time to tha friendly relations existing be tween Great Britain and the United States. Each of the speakers, among whom were the Very Rev. S. Reynolds Hole, United States Senator-elect Chauncey M. Depew and Mr. Poultney Bigelow, dwelt upon this theme. Mr. Bigelow presided, with the guest of the evening upon his left and Airs. Clemens on his right. The company included Max O'Rell (M. Paul Blouet), Mr. Robert Barr. the Misses Clemens, Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert Parker, Mr. T. P. O'Connor, member of parliament; Sarah Grand, Mrs. Frank Leslie, Miss Beatrice Harraden and two hundred other representatives of literary Lon don. Mr. Louis Frederick Austin, in pro posing Mark Twain's health, said: "What most appeals to men and wo men in his own calling, and what will ever cause his name to be associated with Sir Walter Scott's in similar cir cumstances, is his noble courage in misfortune, the high honor which ac cepted the penalty of disaster and the undaunted toil that now enables him again to lift the colers of victory." The reply of Mr. Clemens, who was received on rising with prolonged cheers, was in his happiest vein, caus ing much laughter and applause. Mr. Depew, after some slight banter ing and a tribute to Mark Twain, struck a serious note, which received hearty indorsement. Alluding to the change of sentiment produced by Great Brit ain's attitude and action during the Hispano-Ameriean war. he said: "When Captain Coghlan of the Ra leigh returned from Manila he told us about the attitude of Admiral von Died richs and Sir Edward Chichester of the Immortalite: and he told us what we all in our hearts already knew that the European powers, save England, sym pathized with our enemies and that it was only their knowledge that England would support us morally and actively, if necessary, which prevented their in terference (Applause): and it was this knowledge which made it possible for me, when addressing a political gath ering of 20.000 people in America, the other day, to take the Stars and Stripes in one hand and the Union Jack in the other and not to hear one dissenting voice in that vast audience." A fitting climax was given at this point when Sir Edward Chichester, who had been prevented by another engage ment from coming earlier, entered the room and was greeted with three cheers. Sir Edward Chichester expressed his admiration for Admiral Dewey and his officers and for the American sailors generally. He said: "I was very glad to be at Manila, and the visit increased my respect for the American character. After all, blood is thicker than water; but I must not go on. for a friend of mine. Captain Coghlan, got into trouble through talk ing the other day." (Laughter and cheers.) From this stage of the proceedings Mark Twain and Captain Chichester shared the honors of the evening.every body desiring to shake hands with both. J U ST HEARD FK0M. Another Locality Visited by the New Richmond Storm. Minneapolis, Minn., June 17. A de layed special to the Tribune from Fine ville. Polk county. Wis., says: A storm which swept over this part of the state Monday left death and de struction in its path. Several persons were killed and injured and much pro perty were destroyed. The dead: FRED KENNETZ. SAMUEL OLSEN. The storm struck this place about 6:30 p. m. It wrought immense damage and few escaped with no loss. Property of P.

Chicago's popula tion, according to Chief of Police Kip ley, has finally passed the two million mark and is now $2,088,043. The figures are the result of yearly census taken by the police force. Sergeant D. E. Long, of the police department, who has charge of the work, does not claim that the figures are exact. SUBURBAN DAY. Great Racing: Event at Sheeps head Bay Track Scheduled For Half Past Four This Afternoon. BANASTAR FAVORITE. Winner of the Brooklyn Handi cap Leads. Would Be First to Win Both Races In One Tear. New York, June 17. This is Suburban day at the Coney Island Jockey club's Sheepshead Buy track. The air was clear and cool early in the day, the track was in good condition and the horses down to start were all fit for the event of the day. The rain of Thurs day night freshened up the lawn and flowers, and the place looked today as if there had been no two months of drouth. As far as could be learned this morning the list of starters for the great Suburban Handicap, which will be run as fourth race on the card at about half past 4 o'clock this after noon, is as follows: Horse. Weight. Jockey. Ben Holliday 129 Taral Banastar 122 Maher Briar Sweet 121 Spencer Imp 114 Ciavton Geo. Keene 114 Glawson Warrenton 114 Kimms Bannockburn 112 W. Martin Filigrane 110 Lit tleneld Previous 110 'Connor Tragedian 110 Williams Candle Black 107 O'Dom Latson 105 McCue Thomas Cat 100 O Leary Star of Bethlehem. 95 Mitc'nell Yesterday was devoted to gentle ex ercise gallops by the handicap horses and this morning they had their usual galop of two miles or so, with a sharp rush through the stretch to keep them on edge for the race. The last real work was done on Thursday, and some of the candidates got their preparation earlier in the week. Banastar, who from all accounts is likely, to be the favorite, has not been raced since he won the Brooklyn han dicap, for which he will have to take 12 pounds. He has been worked con sistently by his trainer. Matt Allen, and twice this week has been asked to go the mile and a quarter. On Tues day he was sent over the route with weight up in the afternoon and cover ed it in 2:08, rocking as if he was go ing in about 2:12, so easily did he move. This is a characteristic of this really great horse, and he was thought by those who saw the move to be good enough to win. On Thursday, how ever, he went the distance again, but was hard held and took 2:11 2-5. His stable companion. Candle Black, who is to be the pacemaker, did a mile very handily in 1.41 and was then pulled up by Odom. This showed that he ought to be able to fulfill his mission. Briar Sweet got a mile and a quarter on Tuesday in 2:0SH4, going nicely, and then on Thursday she was sent the same distance in about 2:15, good slow work. Ben Holliday has not raced since the Brooklyn handicap, but he has had plenty of work, his last being on Thursday, when he did the distance in 2:15, just romping. He could have done a good deal better if he had been asked. George Keene had his final preparation on Tuesday, whn he went the routs in 2:10, slowing up a bit at the finish. It is not impressive work. Imp's last race was all the preparation she needs, for she then took up ten pounds or so, which she will carry to day, and ran in, fast time for a mile and a furlong. Warrenton was in the same race and did not impress the spectators with his speed or staying qualities. He has had a lot of racing thus far this year and may be a bit stale. Bannockburn has raced well at Gravesend and on Wed nesday had his last trial, covering the mile and a quarter in 2:11A, with some thing left. Filigrane has surely had work enough this W-eek, for on Tuesday he went the mile and a quarter In 2:09H. going well within himself. Then on Thursday, to the surprise of the owners and trainers, he was sent a mile and a half at top speed in 2:38. al though some caught it a second slower. Previous and Tragedian have raced re cently and shown no particularly fast time. The Star of Bethlehem ran this week, but was not able to keep up even in moderate company. Jefferson, who may be added at the post, is reported as having done a lot of fast work at Brighton Beach, but it was too early even for the average railbird, and Lat son has done nothing remarkable. The consensus of opinion this morning Is that Banastar would be the first horse to put to his credit both the Brooklyn and Suburban handicaps in one year, and that in today's contest Ben Holli day and Briar Sweet would be the most likely to be fighting for the place. Printing Ink Trust. Cincinnati, June 17. L. A. Ault, sen ior member of the Ault Wiborg Ink Manufacturing company of Cincinnati, confirms the reports from New York of the organization of the Federal Printing Ink and Supply company. The headquarters of the concern will be In New York, where President Ault will go shortly to live. The new concern takes in all the leading ink houses. California Reform School Burns. Los Angeles. Cal.. June 17. The building containing the kitchen, com missary department, bakery and dining hall of the state reform school at Whit tier, burned down completely today. The loss is about J20.00O. with no insur ance. The fire started by the acciden tal overturning of a bucket of grease on the range in the kitchen. Georgia Keeps TTp Her Lick. Baxtry, Ga., June 17. "Boy" Wil liams, colored, who is said to have at tempted an assault on Mrs. H. W. Ken nedy near Surrency, Ga., a few days ago, has been taken from jail and lynched. Dave Clark, another Surren cy negro, was found dead in the woods today with several holes in his body. He had been arrested for trying to shoot a constable. Artificial CoaL London, June 17. The Berlin corres pondent of the Daily Mail says that a workman named Montag, living in Mannheim, Baden, has succeeded in manufacturing artificial coal from earth and mineral substances. HOPE FOR ANDREE. Dr. Nansen Figures Out How He May be Safe Stockholm, June 17. The members of the hydrographic convention were received by King Oscar at the royal castle today. His majesty showed them the torn dispatch from Prof. An. dree, the missing arctic balloonist re cently found in Iceland and Dr. Nan sen, who examined it most carefully, declared that if Andree has succeeded in descending with his balloon and tak ing with him his arms and ammunition there was good reason to assume he had reached Greenland, rwhere he would probably be found by the Nathorst ex pedition. It will be impossible to hear the result of this expedition until Sep tember. 20TH IN A NEW ROLE. Put on Defensive For About a Minute. Manila, June 17. Arter cutting the railroad and telegraph at Apalit, seven miles south, for the purpose of severing connection, the rebels attacked General MacArthur's lines at San Fernando yesterday. They met with an unexpectedly warm reception and were repulsed with a loss of 75 killed, 3 pris oners and many wounded. The rebel force .estimated to have numbered 5,000 men, advanced stealth ily from the Jungle north of the city, and then divided with the evident pur pose of surrounding the Americans. The outposts of the Iowa regiment discovered the enemy and retired to their lines, where the entire division awaited in an entrenched position. The Iowa regiment and the Kansas regi ment recived the first shock of the at tack. Reserving their fire until the enemy was within 600 yards, the first volley of the American hit the rebels, who returned the fire wildly, the rest of their line failing to advance. The Americans, who thoroughly enjoyed the novelty of the situation, aw aiting an attack, sallied forth and the insurgents thereupon turned and fled into the jun gle. Our loss was 14 men wounded. and the majority of them were only slightly hurt. General Funston's brigade of Kan sans and Montanas and General Hale's brigade, the Sevententh regiment and the Iowa regiment, constituted the force engaged. Aguinaldo is reported to have person ally conducted the attack and prepara tions were made for several days to bring forward troops from Candaba and others from Dagupan were transported by rail. Along the front of the Kansas regi ment 39 rebel dead were counted. The first news of the Filipino advance was reported by telegraph operator. who was sent to the bridge at Apalit to ascertain the cause of a break in one of the wires. He was compelled to beat a hasty retreat, under fire. HOW LUNA WAS KILLED. A Spanish officer who has been a pris. oner in the hands of the rebels, and who was released by Aguinaldo, has come through our lines to .Manila. He claims to have been a witness of the assassin ation of General Luna. According to his story, the relations between the two Filipino leaders had been strained to the breaking point because of Luna's attempts to assume control of affairs, and the final rupture was forced by Aguinaldo issuing secret orders to the proviniclal governments. Luna there upon notified Aguinaldo, demanding copies of the documents, and Aguinaldo replied curtly that Luna was a general of the army and that the civil govern ment did not concern him. Luna, on opening the reply at his headquarters in the presence of his officers, exclaim ed hotly: "He will be dead tomorrow." One officer. who was friendly to Aguin aldo, hastened to warn him, and Aguin aldo called together twenty trusted sol diers, fellow townsmen of his, and sta tioned them around his house with in structions to kill anyone attempting to enter, regardless of rank. Luna ap peared the next day and saw Aguinal do at the window. A member of the guard said: "Aguinaldo has gone to inspect the troops." Luna then exclaimed: "You are a liar," drew his revolver, struck the guard and tried to force an entrance into the house. Before he could use his revolver one of the guards bayonet ed him. another shot him in the back and others stabbed him. Luna's aide-de-camp was killed in the same way. STORY IS DOUBTED. The Spaniard's story has not entirely dispelled the doubts of Luna's death and bets that he is alive are freely made at the clubs. Some people think that Aguinaldo has taken pains to send this Spaniard here with his story, in furtherance of some diplomatic scheme, while others suspect Aguinaldo has been assassinated by Luna's men. Since the Americans withdrew from Candaba recently the rebels have re turned and have wreaked vengeance upon those who befriended the Ameri cans. They slaughtered the natives who surrendered the town and display ed their heads on poles in the public square. The hostile natives of Cebu are more menacing. Mail advices say hostili ties against the Americans have begun there. Colonel Hammer, the American commander, has asked for reinforce ments, and four companies of the Ten nessee regiment have been sent to him from Iloilo. The Nebraska regiment has been ordered to sail for home early next week. ILOILO SHAKEN. Severest Earthquake Ever Known in the Island. Manila, June 17. 10 a. m. An earth quake shock was felt at Iloilo at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The inhab itants say it was the severest ever known. It is supposed that the shock was caused by the volcano Conloan in Negros in eruption. An explosion was heard, apparently under Iloilo, follow ing 30 seconds later by shaking of the earth. New President Elected. San Francisco, June 17. The board of regents of the University of California today selected Benjamin Ide Wheeler, of Cornell, as president of the universi ty to succeed Martin Kellogg, resigned. The salary of the president was fixed at $10,000. It was decided to charge all students a registration fee of $20 for next school year. OLD TIMEJJEBTS. Fight Over Haskell County Ob ligations In Supreme Court. Question If Commissioners Can Be Forced to Make Levy. MANDAMUS BEGUN. Edgar M. Wood Has a Judgment For 5,000. Other News From the State House Departments. A novel method of evading financial obligations has been exposed by a suit which has been filed in the supreme court by Edgar M. Wood, who seeks to recover from Haskell county a judg ment for $5,000 and interest for several years. A decision in the case may also have an important bearing upon the meth ods of assessment now in vogue in this state, a more Inequitable system having never been devised by man. The plain tiff in the action seeks to have these questions passed upon but the court may not go into that feature of the case. Several years ago the plaintiff ob tained Haskell county bonds upon which the interest has been defaulted. Warrants were issued to him but the i county has always refused to pay them. The county commissioners have claim ed that the county had no money to pay this debt and declined to make a levy for this purpose. In 1896 Mr.Wood obtained a judgment for the amount for which he sues in the district court of Haskell county. The debt was ordered paid but the commis sioners claimed they had no money and he has been deprived of any sort of revenue upon the outstanding ac count. The plaintiff then went before the board of county commissioners sitting as a board of equalization and request ed that the commissioners equalize the assessment of the county, assuring them that such action would raise sufficient money to pay him. This the commis sioners refused to do and now Mr. Wood asks for a writ of mandamus to compel them to do so. The petition sets out the fact that the commissioners should equalize the assessment because the assessors as sessed real estate at three times its actual value and levied on live stock at one-fourth actual value. Under this system Mr. Wood claims that no money is brought into the coun ty treasury. He says that a just sys tem of valuation would raise revenue to pay the debt the county owes him. He also sets up the claim that the land is owned by non-residents and that the residents of the county do not pay a fair share of the tax. He also claims that the system adopted by the com missioners is unreasonable and inequi table and he asks the supreme court to inquire into the case. The court heard the application and issued an alternative writ. The case will come up in July. CRITICISE SPECIAL COMMITTEE George Martin Opposes Investiga tions Conducted by Women. Referring to the committee of women which at the suggestion of Governor Stanley made an investigation of the state institutions, George W. Martin (Rep.), editor of the Kansas City Ga zette, says in an editorial in his pa per: "Governor Stanley has had his wife, Mrs. Royce of Phillipsburg, and Mrs. Harbough of Erie, make a tour of in spection of the state institutions. Con cerning it there are signs of the usual contempt men hold of the woman bus iness in public affairs, and also that the members of the state board of charities think it a species of the spy system. Others think it simply a junketing tour at the expense of the contingent fund, and the board should not take it ser iously. Mrs. Stanley was appointed so that she could tell the governor about things that other ladies would hesitate to mention. "People might see things in most any place and under most any circumstances that might occasionally and in some company be a disagreeable subject of conversation, and yet be more reflection upon general conditions or gen eral management. The inspec tion of the various institutions in this way strikes us as be ing a trifle soft. We remember away back hearing Republican regents swear because of a female colleague, and dur ing Lewelling's time we never met a Populist member but he swore at the various kinds of a nuisance Mrs. Lease was on the board. There are a great many places where women are all right, but in general administration men can not get along with them. If Governor Stanley's idea amounts to anything more than a junketing tour for the ladies it will materalize only in trou ble." BAILEY'S ULTIMATUM. Will Retire if Charlie Curtis Gets One MT emaha County Delegate. W J. Bailey has issued an ultimatum containing a challenge to Congressman Curtis which in the very nature of things should be a joke. Mr. Curtis could make the same proposition to Mr. Bailey and not lose sleep over it. If a man can not carry his own county especially when he i3 already in con gress he ought to retire. Mr. Bailey in speaking of this matter said: "Somebody will think he has been to a horse race before he gets through with this fight. I have seen in the pa pers that Mr. Curtis says he is going to come into my county: if he does, and gets one vote, I'll not allow my name to be presented to the convention. I feel confident that I will be nominated. The First distric t is my home, and I in tend to live there. Shawnee county will be cut out of the First district as soon as the Republicans get control of both houses in the Kansas legislature." LOAN ASSOCIATION TROUBLES. New Law Proves a Boomerang to Many Must Change Methods. Only four domestic or foreign loan associations of the 150 that have been doing business in Kansas are in condi tion to do business under the new law which Bank Commissioner Breidenthal is enforcing. Five others have filed bonds and are trying to get ready, but the remainder are very slow. Under the new law it is necessary for every company to change its by-laws and method of doing business. They are required to put up bond with the bank commissioner also before they can do business. So far as can be learned, all but about a dozen concerns are making an effort to get in line with the provisions, of the new law. A few re alize that they cannot fool the banking department and have pulled up stakes and quit. SORRY THAT HE SPOKE. Editor Brady Withdraws Compliment ary Remarks Concerning Chari table Board The Lawrence World apologizes for throwing bouquets at the board of charities by saying: "Just as the World was compliment ing the board of charities for keeping Mrs. Bare as matron of the reform school she was let out. However, what we said was true and Mrs. Bare should have been retained. There is too much narrow partisanship in this administra tion." DECISION JULY lO. Judge Hook Continues Injunction Against Court of Visitation. The motion of the Western Union Tel egraph company for a permanent in junction to restrain the state court of visitation from enforcing the new tele graph rate fixed by the last legislature was argued before Judge Hook in the federal court yesterday. Judge Hook will announce his decision on July 10. and has issued an order con tinuing the temporary injunction until that time. LANDIS OUT. He Keeps His Promise, and Sends In His Resignation. Governor Stanley today received the resignation of Warden Harry Landis of the state penitentiary to take effect July L JUDGE HOOK DECLINES. He Refuses to Try the Sunny Slope Cattle Ranch Suits. Judge Hook will not try the suit in volving the disposition of the Sunny Slope cattle ranch, which was part of the Cross estate at Emporia, although it is filed in his circuit. The reason for this is that he formerly represented some of the parties who are now par ties to the suit, and he therefore re fuses to try the case now that he has become judge. It will be tried before Judge Williams, of Little Rock.at Man. ltou. Col., some time next month. Judge Williams always spends his summers in Colorado, and whenever there is any court business to be attended to during the hot months it has to go out there where he is. There are a large number of claim ants to the Sunny Slope ranch, which is one of the finest cattle ranches in the west. Among the claimants are Morton Albaugh, as receiver of the Cross bank, the St. Louis and New York banks that have claims against the Cross estate, and other creditors who have similar claims. ARMS SEIZED. Four Thousand Uifles Intended For Carlists Captured. Madrid, June 17. Official confirmation has been received here of the seizure of the yacht Firefly at Arcachon, a pop ular summer bathing resort thirty-five miles by rail southwest of Bordeaux, France, with 4,000 rifles said to have been intended for the Carlists. It is claimed the Firefly belongs to Lord Ashburton, who is looked upon as be ing the representative of Don Carlos, the Spanish pretender in England. A well known Carlist who has been interviewed on the subject said: "Even if 4,000 rifies have been secured, 8.000 have already entered the country. The rifles are of Chass Pott pattern." The Firefly arrived at Arcachon from Dartmouth, Eng. JURY DISAGREES. T. M. James Must Be Tried Again For Shooting W. H. Hayes. The jury in the T. M. James case in the district court failed to reach a ver dict and were discharged by Judge Hazen at noon today. They have had the case under consideration since just before noon on Friday, but were allow ed to go home last night. On the first bailot it is said there were two votes for acquittal, six were for a verdict of guilty of assault with intent to kill, and the other four for a verdict of simple assault and battery. After they had been out for some time those who were in favor of an acquittal agreed to a verdict of assault and bat tery, and the six who had voted for a verdict returning a greater degree of guilt agreed to a verdict of assault with culpable negligence, and there they hung six for assault and battery, and six for assault with culpable neglig ence. The difference between these two ver dicts would be that assault and battery is only a misdemeanor, punishable with imprisonment in the county jail, while assault with criminal negligence is a felony, the maximum punishment for which is five years in the penitentiary. In connection with this case it is in teresting to note the position taken by the court with reference to the use of violence or deadly weapons upon a per son engaged in a trespass, or supposed trespass, upon property rights. In his instructions to the jury Judge Hazen said: "Where one person is trespassing upon the land of another that of itself would not justify the owner of the Ind in taking the life of the trespasser, nor would that of itself justify the owner in doing the trespasser great bodily harm. If you believe from the evidence in this case that at and prior to the time of the alleged assault there was a dispute be tween the defendant. James, and the prosecuting witness, Hayes, as to where the dividing line was between their re spective properties, and that. James claimed the line to be further north than Hayes claimed it to be, and that Hayes went upon the land claimed by him and was in the act of digging a post hole, or in attempting to locate the position occupied by a certain post which had previously been placed there, or intending to place one or more posts upon the land, then I instruct you that those acts on the part of Hayes would not justify James in making a felonious assault upon him, if you find he did make such assault, or in attempting to take the life of Hayes or to do him great bodily harm."

Labor Commissioner Lee Johnson is at Pittsburg acting as a mediator be tween the striking miners and the op erators, lending his influence towards bringing the difficulties to an end. In a letter to W. L. Hulcomb today Mr. Johnson, discussing the situation in the strike district, says: "I understand that an additional con signment of negroes is expected front the south to take the place of the strik ers. Then there may be trouble. A crowd of 400 or 500 men waited all night for the first train of negroes from the south and succeeded in inducing 150 of them to stay out of the mines. Stock ades had been built to protect triem when they went to work but they de clined to enter the stockade. The mer were assured of fair treatment. The following day others declined to go to work but about 50 of the imported men went to work. "The negroes exhibit circulars whichi they received in Alabama, the majority of the men coming from Birmingham. These circulars say: 'Kansas, the para dise of the colored man; good wages mining, coal; no strikes.' The circular then recites the advantages of the coun try; the prospects for increased wages to $1 per ton, and explains the desire of the company to fill the mines with col ored men. "I understand that last night the miners succeeded in inducing the re maining fifty men who were at work to agree to stop. "The deputy United States marshals have been here serving papers in the injunction cases. I was served as I came from the meeting but I shall pay no attention to the matter but shall continue to investigate the conditions of the pending difficulty in accordance with the law creating the department which I represent. 1 will use my in fluence to bring about an adjustment of the trouble."

The New Yorka forfeited a grame to the Brooklyns in the second inning:, when the Brooklyns were at the bat, the score at the time beinfr 5 to 1 in favor of the Brooklyns. Seymour, in the second inning-, sent a straight over the plate that Umpire Burns called a "ball." Sevmour and War ner threw up their hands. Warner was immediately removed. Then came Glea son and this left the home team in a. hope less condition. Wilson went in to catch; Coakley, a pitcher, replaced Gleasnn, and Foster went to short. The first ball pitched by Seymour was a strike, but YV ilson stepped to one side and the ball came close to Umpire Burns. Jle prompt ly removed Wilson from the prame for what he claimed was a deliberate move to allow the ball to hit him. This caused an other row. and Oleason and Warner were ordered off the prounds. They did not ro promptly enoush to suit Burns and he declared the game forfeited. The forfeiture places the N'ew York club liable to a St. 000 fine which must be paid to the Brooklyn club.

POLITICAL There Will Bo Three Notable Contests This Fall. State Elections In Ohio, Mary land and Kentucky. MARYLAND DOUBTFUL Democrats Will Carry the Bine grass State. Ohio Fight Will Be Along New Lines, and Close. "Washington, June 17. There will be four notable elections for governor In November; in Maryland and Kentucky among the border states, and in Iowa and Ohio among the western states. The other governorship contests will be practically uncontested, Massachu setts being- overwhelmingly Republican and Mississippi overwhelmingly Demo cratic. Iowa, Ohio, Maryland and Kentucky have, all four. Republican governors at present, though Kentucky is normally a Democratic state and j Maryland is usually so. j The term of the governor in Iowa is j two years, in Kentucky four years. I There is very little doubt among-per- I sons familiar with the existing political conditions in the Hawkeye state of the j success of the Republican nominees for governor and lieutenant governor. Iowa was carried by the Republicans at the presidential election of lsab by bu.OOO plurality. It was carried by the Re publicans in the last governorship con test, two years ago, by 30,000. The state went Republican last year by 63, 000, and all present conditions point to a failure of fusion in it this year. In Kentucky these conditions appear to be almost exactly reversed. In the pres idential election of 1SS6 the McKinley electoral ticket carried the state by 200 votes, with 5,000 gold Democrats in overt revolt. Last year, on the restoration of former party lines, and with two Democratic tickets in the field and Pop ulist ticket nominated besides, the sil ver Democrats carried the state by a plurality of 18,000. They won the leg islature and a majority of the congres sional delegation. This year the Re publicans expect to make a vigorous fight in Kentucky, but against the same sort of obstacles that have kept Ken tucky in the Democratic column so long and seem likely to make Governor Bradley the last as well as the first Republican governor elected in that state. Whatever likelihood of success for the Republicans in Iowa or for the Demo crats in Kentucky may be conceded, the battle over the governorship in Mary land is no sure thing for either side. The term of the governor of Maryland is four years, and the salary is $4,500; his place of official residence is the lit tle town of Annapolis. For thirty years before January, 1S9B. when the term of the present Republican gover nor of Maryland, Lloyd Lowndes, be gan, the executive of Maryland was a Democrat, and in the contest of 1895 the former relation of the two political parties in the Terrapin state was re versed, the plurality of Mr. Lowndes being 18,000. To this total the city of Baltimore contributed 11.000, so that outside of Baltimore the Republican majority in the year most propitious for Republican success was 7,000. At the recent May election for mayor of Bal timore, according to the official returns as canvassed, the Democratic vote was 57.600 and the Republican vote 49.000, a Democratic lead of 8,600. If, therefore, Maryland politicians argue, the Repub licans hold their lead outside of Balti more, and the Democrats retain in No vember the lead which their mayoralty candidate secured in May, the fight of 1899 would be on lines so close as to give no assurance to one or the other party, though in the consideration of Mary land affairs two important facts are to be regarded which did not formerly ob tain. In the first place, Maryland has now an honest election law, whereby wholesale frauds upon the franchise, especially in the city of Baltimore, are rendered difficult, if not impossible, and in the second place, Maryland is rep resented in Washington by two Repub lican senators, whereas almost uniform ly heretofore its representatives have been Democrats. This is a matter of political importance, because Maryland is the next neighboring state to the District of Columbia and in proportion to its population it is more largely rep resented in the federal departments than any other state of the country. In the connection between the federal government and the state, through the United States senators, the Republicans have gained an advantage, through the displacement of the two Democrats, which is further made of importance by the fact that Mr. Gorman was not only one of the most resourceful and influen tial of Democrat! leaders, but also in timate with the ways and subways of political life in Washington. In ad dition to a governor, Maryland will in November choose a comptroller and at torney general, as well as legislators, and the members of the house of dele gates elected in 1899 will vote for a state treasurer in place of Thomas J. Shryock, whose term expires in Febru ary. Mr. Shryock, who is a Republi can, has been regarded as a prospective candidate for the nomination to suc ceed Governor Lowndes this year, it be ing taken for granted among Maryland politicians that Mr. Lowndes would be in the field to succeed himself, espe cially in view of the fact that there is no political vacancy to which he can aspire either in the cabinet or the Unit ed States senate. Maryland had a place in the cabinet of President Mc Kinley in the selection of James A. Gary as postmaster general. After some service he resigned the place to make way for Postmaster General Smith, and it is not at all likely that Maryland will have the opportunity of again filling a place in the cabinet of a Republican president during this ad ministration at least. The term of Senator Wellington does not expire un til 1903 and the term of Senator Mc Comas does not expire until 1905. Under these circumstances Mr. Lowndes has the choice of either retiring from office to private life at the end of his present term or running for a second term, and he has recently declared himself a can didate for renomination on the Repub lican ticket. In support of his avail ability as a candidate, the statement is made that an honest election law has een placed upon the statute books for the first time. The taxation laws as enacted by the Republican legislature have had the effect of bringing into the treasury a much larger amount than ever before received. The free school book law has been passed and there has been collected and disbursed. for the use of the schools, a larger sum than at any time in their past history. The Ohio state election is for gover nor, lieutenant governor, treasurer and attorney general, and under ordinary circumstances and normal political coo- MUNYON'S INHALER CURES CATARRH Colds, Coughs.

In a period of 30 years, covering 15 elections for the governorship, there have been only four Democratic gover nors of Ohio: William Allen, elected in 1873; Richard M. Bishop, elected in 1877; George Hoadly, elected in 18S3. and James E. Campbell, elected in 1889. No Democratic governor of Ohio has been elected for a second term; Allen, Hoad ly and Campbell, all renomination, were defeated. The electoral votes of Ohio have been cast uniformly for the presi dential nominees of the Republican par ty since its establishment. Yet, not withstanding these facts, there is a vigorous contest this year, as hereto fore, for the Democratic nomination in Ohio. Wrhy? Ohio is not less a Repub lican state now than it has been here tofore. At last year's election, under political conditions about the same as exist now, the Republican plurality was 61,000. The Democratic party in Ohio has been, to a great extent, disrupted by Bryanism, and the Republican party has been in even greater measure bene fited by the administration of an Ohio man as president, for the popularity of William McKinley has been great in Ohio and is greater now than it even was before. Both United States senators from Ohio are Republicans, the state admin istration is Republican, a majority of the delegates to congress are Republi can, the chairman of the Republican national committee is an Ohio man, and since the date of the last election some substantial Ohio Democrats have re tired from politics; others, ex-Senator Brice among them, have died. The peculiar feature of this year's Ohio elec tion is found in the importance of its large cities, which have been gaining enormously In population, and in the anti-corporation acts of some officials. The present governor. Mr. Bushnell, broke away from his Republican asso ciates at the big Hanna fight for sena tor in Columbus. The attorney general, Mr. Monnett, whose controversy with the Standard Oil concern has brought him into considerable prominence, is a Republican. Mayor Jones, of Toledo, "Municipal Ownership" Jones is a Re publican, and was elected to his pre vious term of mayor on the Republican ticket. Previously, heretofore, radical projects in finance or administration have been undertaken in Ohio by Dem ocrats. The Republican party of the state, the conservative force in Ohio politics, has arrayed itself against vio lent, radical and sometimes incendiary plans and methods, and in the encoun ter between the two the Republicans have almost invariably won. In the memorable election of 1877, however, they took a contrary course, espousing the views of many discon tented radicals and declaring their sympathy "with the conditions of the honest and industrious laborers who are willing to work, but remain unemploy ed, or are employed at wages inade quate to comfort and independence." In the ensuing battle they were over whelmingly defeated by a Cincinnati business man nominated on the Demo cratic ticket fof governor, though at that period Hamilton county, which in cludes the city of Cincinnati, cast only 50,000 votes, and Cuyahoga, which in cludes the city of Cleveland, cast only 25,000 in a total of 555,000. The present vote of Hamilton county is 105,000, and of Cuyahoga county 85.000. Both Cin cinnati and Cleveland have Democratic mayors, and the projection of any such issue as municipal ownership or state regulation into this year's contest would have the effect only of solidifying the Democratic forces in the large cities, and it is in the large cities that Ohio Republicans look for their majorities and usually get them. The country districts of the state, and especially in southern and central Ohio, are strongly inclined to the Democratic party, and in the presidential election of 1896 Bryan carried outright 30 of the counties of Ohio, and in ten other counties was defeated by a small vote only in each. It was a full vote, a presidential year, and an Ohio Republican as a standard bearer of the party, but despite these disadvantages Bryan and Sewall polled 40 per cent of the vote of the state, and outside of its large cities their propor tion of the total vote was a little over 50 per cent. J0INT1STS DRIVEN OUT. Mulvane Takes Drastic Measures to Closs Its Saloons. From the Wellington Journal.! For some months the city of Mulvane has been troubled with joints and the people up there were unable to make them quit. Several weeks ago H. L. Woods of Wellington, was employed to fight them. He looked up the Mulvane ordi nances and found that they had no city anti-liquor law that was very effective and he accordingly drew up an ordi nance and had the Mulvane council pass it. The new ordinance was pub lished in the Record last week. Upon its publication, two of the three Joint ists concluded to auit. and so informed the mayor and council. The third said he would fight it. Mr. WToods was preparing to go to Mulvane the last of this week to begin proceedings against the remaining jointists, but he received word yester day that the jointist had thrown up the sponge and agreed to quit.

CELEBRATEOS WORK OFTRUSTS President of the Commercial Travelers' National League Tells the Industrial Commis sion of Their Effect. FACTS AND FIGURES. Thousands of Salesmen Dis charged and Salaries Reduced. Prices of Goods Are Advanced as the Same Time. Washington, June 17. Testerday af ternoon the Industrial commission heard a, statement from P. E. Dowe, of New York, president of the Commercial Travelers' National league. Mr. Dowe said the opinion of the commercial men at large was that trusts were a menace to the community. He estimated the traveling salesmen in the United States at 350,000. The formation of trusts and combinations was throwing a large number of these men out of employ ment. In giving specific instances, he said: "The National Enameling and Stamp ing company, which depends for its raw material upon the American Tin Plate company has thrown a great many out of employment and those retained have had their salaries reduced The great tobacco combines threw out about 3.000 salesmen. The Continental Tobacco company telegraphed the discharge of 350 in one day; the baking powder trust has dispensed with all excepting half a dozen men. I know of two salesmen discharged by the trust who were form erly in the employ of the Cleveland Baking Powder company, one receiving a salary of $5,000 a year, the other $4,500. Their routes with those of other dis charged salesmen are covered by one agent at $1S a week. The bicycle trust will throw out 600 salesmen gradually and will cut down agencies in every city. The chair trust will effect immed iately more than 500 salesmen by cut ting them out of the line. "One man writes that the Union Bag and Paper company has thrown out of employment hundreds of salesmen. "The number of salesmen out of work because of the United States Rubber company is 300; the salesmen -retained have been reduced to a salary averag ing, so I am informed, $1,300 a year. The American Tin Plate company cut off about ninety out of every 100 sales men. The American Steel and Rod company, I have been told, discharged 300 commercial travelers in one day. In giving these estimates I am not consid ering the office force thrown out through the trusts. Sugar and coffee monop olies have thrown out 1,000 salesmen; arerage reduction in salary of those re tained $1,000 a year, twenty-five per cent only of the old force being retained In house positions. The Standard Oil com pany employs fewer salesmen than any other concern in the mercantile world of one-half of its capital." Mr. Dowe said that the trust com binations had raised the prices of the commodities they controlled from 5 to 100 per cent, in almost every instance except coffee and sugar. In these they were still fighting for control of the field. He said his figures in this line were absolutely correct, being from re liable commercial acquaintances. The examples he gave were: Iron pipe over 100 per cent; tinware and enameled ware about 33 per cent; brass goods 60 per cent: chair trust just formed will advance prices 30 per cent; rubber overshoes (United States Rubber company) advanced prices 14 per cent on May 1; American Tin Plate advanced prices something like 30 per cent; news paper, quarter to half cent a pound; book papers 5 and 10 per cent; in com mon soap 25 cents to 50 cents a box; jobbers and manufacturers of clocks have advanced the wholesale prices on account of the advance of metals 60 per cent; all metal goods have been ad vanced; brass pins 25 per cent; pipes and brushes 12V& per cent; combs 7 per cent; ribbons 10 per cent. "The umbrella trust failed four years ago. but it advanced prices while in existence; and after its break up, the return to legitimate and healthy prices caused a loss to the retailer through the stock on hand." This witness concluded by saying that before leaving New York he had been warned by an acquaintance, a lawyer, indirectly connected with some of the trusts, that he was doing a dangerous thing in speaking before the commis sion, as he was liable to "be crushed like a caterpillar."

It worked like magic and one dose fixed me all right. It certainly is the finest thing I ever used for stomach trouble.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 17, 1899. KANSASJEWS. Kansas Gold Mine Owners Near McCracken Rejoice. Claim is Made That Car of Ore Shipped to Colorado ASSAYS $40 PER TON. New Machinery Ordered For the Mines And Derelopment of the Vein Will Be Pushed. McCracken. June 17. Returns have tw-en received here from a car or ore recently shipped by the Johnson-Holli-riay syndicate to a. mill at Florence, Col. The proprietors maintain the utmost recreov in regard to the assay, but a near friend declares that the ore will i-dd in g-old to the ton and the as 6a y so shows. There is much excitement over the matter and the mine owners have or dered new and additional machinery to develop the mine. Other claims will be staked out at NEGROES JOIN STRIKERS. Colored Imported Miners Refuse to Work, Claiming They Were Deceived. Pittsburg. June 17. The committee appointed at the conference yesterday to draw up a scale of prices has been in session here ail day and will prob ably require another day or two to com plete its work. The imported negroes were all taken into the United Mine Workers' union at a meeting held in Fleming last night. As a result they Jiave refused to work and are drawing rations from the union's commissary. There is not the least doubt that they w?re deceived into coming here. Many of them have circulars which were dis tributed among them in the south in or der to induce them to come to Kansas. The circulars promised them 871 cents end $1 per ton. Who is to blame for the misrepresentations is not known, for the circulars were distributed by others than the agent with whom they contracted. i The strike situation is in a calm con- dition again, and it is difficult to pre- d:ct how it wll termnate. GUILTY OF EMBEZZLEMENT. Robert Teller, of Arkansas City, In Trouble With the Indians. Winfield, June 17. Dr. Robert R. Tel ler of Arkansas City was found guilti er embezzlement in the district court last night, the jury having been out thirty hours. Teller and John A. Gorman, an at torney of Washington, were arrested last fall on complaint of Stephen A. Fuller, a squaw man. who married a member of the Omaha family of Osage Indians. The Omaha family, number ing members, were dropped from the sage annuity rolls and Fuller gave Teller a draft for Jl.uOO, with the under standing, he claims, that it was to be Kiven to Gorman when he succeeded in securing the reinstatement of all the Omaha family on the pay roll, agree ing, when that was done, to pay $1.5'X more. Teller Immediately turned the 3raft over to Gorman and all theOmaha family except Fuller and his wife and children were reinstated, but he claims It was through no effort of Gorman, who is himself a squaw man, and was at that time the attorney for the Osage Indians and working against the rein statement of the Omaha family. Tel ler, in his evidence, intimated that this action was brought by Fuller to preju dice Gorman's claim for the balance of the $3,000. OFF FOR EUROPE. Prof, and Mrs. G. J.

The Paris Haskell Ranch, Near Gaylord, Reaps a Big Harvest. Gaylord, June 17. The first crop of alfalfa on the big stock ranch of Paris, Paris Haskell, adjoining Gaylord, is safely in the stack. The firm cut 100 acres, which yielded over 150 tons. This ranch is one of th? largest in Kansas. containing 3.k0 I acres, embracing hill, valley and ample water supply. The second crop will be cut a few weeks later. There are 27 miles of fence on the ranch, and at this time has 1. 00 head of hogs. 500 head of cattle on feed, and about 500 head in the pasture. W. H. Haskell, of the firm, was a candidate for congress in the Sixth dis trict convention in Beloit a year ago. and his pretty wife has been "mayor of Gaylord. giving the town one of the test governments it has ever had. ROOM FOR 300 STUDENTS. Regents of Manhattan College Re ceiving Bids For Additional Building. Manhattan. June 17. The regents of the State Agricultural college are now receiving bids for erecting the extension to the machine shops, for which the last legislature appropriated $16,000. The capacity ol the shops will be doubled and the new buildings will In clude blacksmith shop, foundry, testing laboratory, steam fitting shop, brass foundry and additional machine shop. The extension will provide room for 300 additional students and, will be ready for use October 1. REPAIRS NEEDED. Millions Required to Fat the P. G. in Good Condition. Kansas City, Mo., June 17. Receiv ers Fordyce and Withers, of the Pittsburg Gulf, have prepared their first report of the condition of the road and its needs, which has been submit ted to Judge Phillips, of the federal court. The report is a surprise as showing the immense amount of repairs necessary and the amount of rolling stock needed. While $S14,769 is asked for Immediate use, the figures given for necessary re pairs show that $3,711,581.02 will be re quired to put the road in good condi tion The report calls attention to the necessity of establishing the credit of the road. The receivers say that a very high estimate of the gross earn ings for the fiscal year ending July 1, 1SK9. is $4,000,000. In view of the present condition of the road and its limited equipment, 90 per cent for running ex penses is regarded as a low estimate. This would leave $400,000 above operat ing expenses. About $100,000 should be expended at once upon railway tracks and $100,000 immediately provided to pay preferential claims, as the discre tion of the receivers may dictate. This makes a total of $S14.769, which should be spent immediately. No action was taken on the report. FALLS IN A PAINT. In the Middle of a Gaylord Marriage Ceremony the Groom Swoons Away. Gaylord, June 17. As a swell wed ding in the Methodist church in Gay lord, the house being crowded with the elite of the town, the groom fainted midway in the ceremony, and fell to the floor.

The incident caused a broad smile all over the town. Campbell University Closing. Holton.June 17. The closing exercises of Campbell university commencement were held in the university chapel.

OVER A TON OF GOLD Landed at White Horse From the First Steamers. Skaguay, June 13, via Seattle, Wn., June 17. A large amount cf gold dust and nuggets was landed at White Horse Rapids last Friday, June 9, from the first three steamers to reach that point from Dawson City. Over one ton of it was officially checked off by the officers at White Horse when making the transfer from steamer to steamer. The remainder was divided in packages ranging from 10 to 75 .pounds carried by the more than 300 passengers of the three boats. They were in all sorts of odd packages and with no attempt at concealment. Owing to the low stage of the water on the lakes and rivers it was impos sible for the small steamers from Ben nett to reach them before Sunday and the first lot of 65 was landed in Ben nett yesterday by the Nora and reach ed Skaguay last evening. Another lot of over 100 reached here at 2 this morn ing and the remainder will get here some time today. Every hotel safe in Skaguay last night was crammed full of gold dust with a watchman on guard all night and as these safes could not accommo date all who had gold the safes of the several merchants had to be called into requisition and the largest of these were taxed to their utmost. This gold Is brought out largely by merchants. Only about half of it is from the win ter's clean up and that from benching, as sluicing had only about commenced when the steamers left Dawson May 25. No. 17 El Dorado, it is said will prove to be the richest claim on the whole Klondike. Mr. Peacock, of Quebec, who owns half interest, had 37 men at work on it all winter and the clean up will be in the neighborhood of from $1,200, 000 to $1,500,000. E. W. Ward, of New Castle, Wn., who Ss on Bonanza, said when he left they were working rockers on the benches and sluicing had only fairly begun. Not much work is being done below Discov ery but great activity prevails above it and the claims are showing up rich. Dominion creek is going to make a good record and so is HunKer. Peter Odin gives a good account of Gold Hill at the junction of El Dorado and Bonanza and says the result will surprise many. Frank Slavin, the prize fighter, and his partners have thirty-seven placer claims, most of them good. There has been a lot of prospecting for quartz but no great discoveries have been heard from. Slavin is going to New York and London. He and his partners have bonded the Dome quartz prospect with a London company and got $100,000 for development work. The ice is still troublesome. The Nora on her way down to White Horse went through two miles of nine-inch ice. At Cariboo crossing, the Nora passed three steamers yesterday morn ing. The consensus of opinion gathered from almost every man reaching Skag way was to the effect that the output of the Klondike in the past year would be between $15,000,000 and $20,000,000. Fifteen million, which w-ill nearly double last year's output. will be found to be good figures to gamble on. The exact figures of the actual out put will never be known for the reason that every effort is being made to evade the royalty and every trick and device is being resorted to to smuggle the dust out of the country. GOLD REACHES SEATTLE. Seattle, Wash., June 17 Two hundred Klondikers arrived here last night on steamer City of Seattle. Collectively they had considerable gold dust, but their estimates of the total amount varied greatly. Purser Pope said: "About four hundred thousand dol lars in actual dust is a conservative estimate. I think. I had about 250.000 dollars placed in my care on the jour ney. "Several passengers carried drafts but no authoritative estimate can be made of the total amount. One man was said to have one for $80,000." Marshall's Band Will render an interesting program at their concert tomorrow afternoon. What you want is not temporary relief from piles but a cure lo stay cured.

Production Is the Largest That lias Eyer Been Known. New York, June 17. R. G. Dun Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: It is one of the frequent paradoxes of business that the one thing which now makes prices rise is the only thing that clouds the future. The rise in iron and wheat is because scarcity is feared, but the scarcity, if prolonged and real, would much impair prosperity. In wheat it does not seem to be real, nor In iron lasting, and meanwhile other elements of prosperity continue potent. It Is a great thing in the month's markets that exports of gold have caused no appre hension, because recognized as mere j borrowings by foreign bankers, the May exports $23,000,000 larger than imports, in spite of a decrease in the export price of wheat and a large increase in imports. In eleven months the excess of merchandise exports has been $495, 000,000 and the bankers estimate that $260,000,000 worth of securities have been returned from Europe, with so few in recent months that the amount remaining to be dislodged is probably small. The scarcity of iron is real, in spite of the greatest production ever known in this or any other country, 256,062 tons weekly June 1, against 250,095 May 1. Stocks were reduced 7.092 tons in May, indicating a consumption of 1,190.866 tons .against 1,000,000 tons per month last year, the greatest ever known. Consuming demand does not seem to di minish and appears greater because it falls upon works crowded for months ahead with contracts at lower prices, but some of it is speculative and would cease with prospects of lower prices. With more furnaces going into blast, ten last month, production will over take the demand after a time and the largest buyers of finished product for implements and car works and railways are taking nothing to cover next year's needs. Pig has been irregularly strong at the east and at Chicago and un changed at Pittsburg, while finished product averages 2"?i per cent higher, plates, bars, pipe and rail sharing the advance, with demand for structural forms and sheets beyond the capacity of works. Even in nails a 2 per cent discount on quick payments is stopped. Woolen gained a little further ad vance in clay worsted and indigo blues, with generally strong demand and works well engaged ahead. But deal ers face the stubborn facts that con sumers accustomed to cheap grades make every advance difficult and milis appear to be buying very little in mar kets which are largely on a rise in wool. Sales, mostly between traders, have been in two weeks 16,247.700 pounds, in cluding 13,587,300 pounds domestic, but until speculation halts will indicate nothing as to consumption, nor is any thing known of the stocks actually held by mills. Cotton sales have ben fully sustained, without advance in price, by good de mand. The cotton market has not changed, doubts about the coming yield being held in check by certainty of large stocks on hand. Wheat reports by the government seem to mean just what anybody wants them to mean, but the Produce Ex change interpretation of the June re port that the 68,000,000 bushels mean no greater decrease in yield than may be beneficial to both growers and con sumers. With probable additions to stock from the last crop it would pro vide for exports of nearly 200.000.000 bushels, and foreign prospects, though by no means wholly cheering, scarcely warrant expectations of a demand as large. The price has risen 3 cents, but much prudence is shown, for western receipts of 10.202. 1R9 bushels in two weeks, against 2.684,521 bushels last year, discredit short crop reports, and foreign exports of 4.5S2.313 bushels, flour included, against 8,655.684 bushels last year, do not indicate great needs abroad. Corn exports are better sustained than wheat, 5,Sl2.tS9 bushels in two weeks, against 7, 1 17,241 bushels last year, and the price has been steady. Failures for the week have been 136 in the United States, against 233 last year, and 18 in Canda, against 20 last year. National Educational Association Meeting.

It is plain that what pugilism needs is an application of the civil service regulations. It looks as though the beer trust when capitalized at $1. 000.000.000 would have little water left to put into its product. If Mr. Havemeyer fail to get into Col. Bryan's party perhaps he and David Hill and Henry Watterson might form a little party of their own. Col. Bryan is not evincing any eager ness to welcome Mr. Havemeyer into the Democratic party. The sugar king should put up a check as an evidence of good faith. The worst joke about Congressman Henderson and his absent leg, j et per petrated, is by the Peoria Journal, which remarks that "he is quite a stump speaker. It has always been asserted that competition is the life of trade, yet the trusts seem to do quite a thriving busi ness without it. Captain Coghlan is to lecture before a Chautauqua assembly in Kansas dur ing the summer. If the management desires to make a hit. it should see that a recitation of "Hoch der Kaiser" is on the programme. It has been said often that Grover Cleveland filled all the offices with Democrats before issuing his civil ser vice order. It is now alleged that President McKinley pursued a similar course except for a difference in poli tics. It is given out that the receipts of the late prize fight amounted to JS5.000. This great sum was made up as fol lows: Five thousand admission at $5, $-3,000; 1,000 reserved seats at $10, $10. 0O0; 6--!S reserved seats at $15. $9,870; soo mezzanine seats at $20. $16,000, and 976 box seats at $25. $24,400. Prof. Atwater, in deciding that a man can subsist on two ounces of alcohol a day and sugar, neglects to state how much sugar he considers the proper V-oncomitant for that quantity of li quor. His popularity among certain classes would be enhanced if he could find that mint also is valuable as a life sustainer. Many partisan journals are signify ing their approval of the changes which have taken place recently at the Kan sas agricultural college, justifying the action of the Republican board on the ground that the Populists did it first. But there are still some people who re fuse to believe that two wrongs con stitute a right. At Peoria. 111., a club has been form ed by 35 men who have pledged them selves to marry widows, if they marry at all. The members of the club Fay that their motive is purely philanthrop ic. They believe that eligible girls have no difficulty in securing husbands, but that widows are handicapped, especial ly if they are left with children. Clear ly they have little knowledge of widows and their resources. Among the supposable causes for gold exports are mentioned first the dimin ished excess of exports over Imports: second, the great sums taken abroad by tourists, and, thiid. the return of American securities sold back to Amer ica since the great boom last January. Pome experts think the total amount of securities returned to this country during the fiscal year just closing will be cot fax from $250,000,000. St. Paul Dispatch: The Democratic convention of 1900 may choose what ever platform its fancy may dictate; it may declare for anti-expansion, anti trust, free trade or anything it likes; It may reaffirm or repudiate the Chi cago platform as its wnim may prompt, but the nomination of W. J. Bryan will fix the single issue of the campaign, and it will be the free and unlimited coinage of silver with trold at the ratio of 16 to 1. Bryan stands for that and nothing else, and his nomination will sidetrack all side issues. Mr. Eugene Dehs has been heard from on the Fubject of trusts. He does not take the alarmist view of these or ganizations held by Col. Bryan and many other intelligent and honest citi zens. On the contrary Mr. Debs de clares that he favors the trusts. He says they have come of a necessity as a modern method of doing business. He favors them because he regards them as representing a transitory state be tween the competitive system and so. ciaiisTi. The destruction of competi tion. Le believes, will create singularity of ownership, the legitimate outcome of which will be ownership by the state rather than by individuals. GLOBE SIGHTS fFrom the Atchison Globe.J As soon as a man saves up a fen- dol lars he begins to lie about his ances tors. After &a engagement is three months old. the man leans back, and lets the girl do the fanning. When a child scratches Its head, its mother wants to know whom it has been playing with of late. Most of the women who visit dry goods stores in summer, are looking for a blue in cotton goods that .will wash. The feeling that he will be talked, about if he is not present to prevent it, is what prompts lots of people to go into society. Hospitality has become a sort of bartering dinner for dinner, and party for party, at which no one's credit is good very long. When a woman is entertaining an out of town guest, she looks very grateful when some one asks her "company" how long she is going to stay. The women attach too much impor tance to the fact that they have given a party, and their friends who are not invited may be offended. In the ma jority of cases, those not invited con gratulate themselves because they will escape being bored. Kvery man who addresses a bunch, of graduates, tells them of the duties to be met in life, as if the country had its eyes upon them, and would signal one of them out to save it in an hour of peril. The graduates are given an im pression that the duties to be met are away off. and great, and carry honor and fame with them. The duties which will face the bunch of white dressed girls and trembling young men are dish-washing, and mowing the lawn and bringing in wood. No orator can grow eloquent in talking of the glory in wiping dishes clean, and keeping the lawn mowed, and for that reason, they talk of a Paul Revere sort of a future, which is the worst kind of silliness. History will show that the men who have come to their country's aid, in an hour of peril, were never graduated at all, and received no in spiration regarding their duty from a man who addressed the graduates. POINTED PARAGRAPH 3, From the Chicago News. A steak is none the more costly for being rare. An unbridled passion sometimes leads to the halter. It's an easy matter to chase any man you can get on the run. The mule is very apt to be behind with his business affairs. Every man is more or less of a gossip, but he refuses to admit it. Silence is doubly golden when you can't think of a satisfactory answer. It's some consolation to find yourself at the bottom of the ladder when it breaks. About the saddest sight we ever saw was a fat man trying to look cute. The child Is wiser in his simplicity than the philosopher in his wisdom. Many a man has lost a lot of money through the hole in the top of his the drop curtain goes down men go out and put down another drop. Whenever a man happens to make a good guess he begins to talk about his good judgment. The man who considers his own faults has but little to say concerning the faults of others. A charitable speech is but little credit to the man who is afraid to put his hand in his pocket. The youthful graduate is probably the only person who knows enough to run the affairs of the nation successfully. Stupid people are entitled to eat, but they should not talk. Their mouths are all right as banks of deposit, but they were never intended for banks of issue. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR From the New Tork Press. 3 The devil always needs women in his business. As soon as a man begins to have more than he needs he begins to have less than his wife wants. When it comes to a frying-pan and a piece of raw meat the average man is 'way ahead of the average girl. When the Recording Angel gets melancholy he takes a day off and goes to some cemetery and reads the tomb stones. Teach a boy that men are not worse than women and he will believe that women are no better than men. When he is a man he will belieVe that they have no business to be. WHAT WOULD YOU THINK If the gas trust would give Topeka Dollar gas? If men with gold mines would realize on their hopes? If rice throwing would be made a capital offense? If men in politics would always tell each other the truth? If any one would enjoy a vacation as much as he expected? If officers would go after the trusts as if they meant business? If a woman of 35 would ever admit that she cared to be married? If a man who smokes a dozen cigars a day would enjoy good health? If the government would keep its promise to bring the Kansas troop3 home? If the modern novelist would not think that people like a story with a dismal ending? If some one could explain how the street corner loafers manage to always be well dressed? If prisoners in the jails would enjoy divine services as much as they do a fresh custard pie? If merit counted for anything when men are being selected to look after the state's business? If it would not cost four or five times as much for a woman to get ready to take a trip as it does a man? If some one could explain why young men have a better opinion of them selves at 20 than they do at 30? If people would take less interest in the wrongs of Dreyfus and more in out rages committed in their own state? If the modern bride could enter a rail way train without being imposed upon by people who imagine they are smart? If a married man would keep the promise he made his wife early in their matrimonial life to stay at home nights? If Topeka's Twentieth Kansas recep tion committee would think of some thing original as a means of entertain ment? If the policeman who arrests a child of 12 for riding across a sidewalk would use the same cunning in finding real criminals t STORIES OF THE TOWN. A heavily veiled woman, dressed in black and carrying a large, full-blown rose, stepped Into the jailer's office at the county jail. "Anything I can do for you, madam?" asked Jailer Lawson. "Yes," she said. "I am a soldier's daughter and saw by the paper that you have a prisoner here, who is a sol dier. Can I see him?" "Are you a relative of his?" "No." "A friend?" "No, sir." "Well, why do you Want to see blm?" "I want to give him this rose. He is a soldier and I am a soldier's daugh ter, and I feel sorry for him. I thought this rose might show him that he has someone's sympathy, even if it is only a stranger's. Tou can go with me and see that I give him nothing but the rose." Tha 4atlaK mnlii.na.l rnllniv him and led the way upstairs to the prisoner s cell, which is directly over the Jail office. The prisoner came to the bars, scrutinized the woman and then looked inquiringly at the jailer. "She wishes to give you a rose," was the jailer's answer to the mute in quiry. "I am a soldier's daughter," explain ed the woman, as she pinned the rose on his coat through the bars, "and I feel sorry for a soldier in trouble. I thought this might seem fresh and bright from the outside world." The prisoner looked at tier intently as if trying to see her face through the heavy veil, but he never moved while she was pinning on the flower. "We have plenty of these at home, and I'll bring you some more," she said as she moved away. The pris oner thanked her in an abstracted sort of manner. The jailer accompanied the unknown visitor downstairs and to the door and then seated himself by the open win dow. He was musing, too. Presently something fluttered down past the win dow. The jailer looked out and for a few moments, at equal intervals, rose leaves fluttered down from the cell above and last of all came the stem. Across the street from the court house there lives a parrot. In the days of its youth it accidentally overheard a man using language which would not look well in print. The language has clung to the parrot ever since, and de spite the owner's efforts the parrot has become very proficient in the use of profanity. It can swear almost as well as a politician. It might be termed an expert. It certainly is a professional. A few days ago an interesting case was on trial in the district court. The room was very warm, and all the win dows were open. A gentle breeze waft ed in from the south, bearing in the sounds from the street below. An especially interesting place in the testimony had been reached and the court room was very still. Everyone was listening intently to the witness. The witness made a statement, and then "You're a blankety-blank liar," said a small, still voice. The witness wriggled. Judge Hazen glanced around to see where the sound came from, and Bailiff John Coyne tapped w ith his lead pencil and scowled around the room to quell the disturb ance. The witness began again. "Shut up, you horse thief," said the voice again. Judge Hazen frowned. Some disre spectful persons near the window tit tered. Bailiff Coyne edged over in that direction and stood by the window. "Get out, you," suggested the parrot. The bailiff saw the bird and shook his fist at it. 1!" remarked the parrot again. This was too much for the bailiff. He pulled the window down to shut out the profane sounds and went out. In a few minutes he came back and said: "I'll bet that blamed parrot don't swear at this court any more. I've got a muzzle on 'im." An old colored woman entered the of fice of the probate judge Friday after noon, carrying a week's washing in a large basket which she was about to deliver to its owner. "I want to git a marriage license," she announced to Judge Dolman. Is that so? Who for?" asked the judsre. "Me." "You?" "Uh-uh." answered the old woman, nodding her head, with that peculiar 44 A Gentle Wind of Western Birth 99 TeUs no sweeter story to humanity than the announcement that the health-giver and health-bringer. Hood's SarsaparUla, tells of the birth of an era of good health. is the one reliable specific for the cure of all blood, stomach and liver troubles. i ilium- 'V'l''"' Jiff! unspellable grunt which is expressive of an affirmative answer. "Who do you want to get married to?" asked Judge Dolman. "My ole man." i "I don't understand," said the Judge. "If you've already got an old man, what do you want to marry him again for?" "Well, it's dis yere way." said the woman, shifting to the other foot. "We done got married in slave times, way back fo' de wah. We didn't have no license nor nuffin'. My massa Just gin me an order to Pete's massa, sayin' as how he war willin' fur me to marry Pete, and we just had a preacher say the cer'mony, an' that's all there was to it. Now me an' Pete has done 'eluded that we wants to git married like folks nowadays. Seems like our marriage haint jest like it orto bin. So we wants a marriage to git married right." The explanation was satisfactory to Judge Dolman, so the license was duly maae out, tne old woman produced the necessary $2.50 fee, and she went away happy, tightly grasping the precious document in her hand. This is w hy this entry appears in the marriage license docket: "Malinda G. Vinson, aged 62 years, to Peter Vinson, aged 86 years." A new policeman often makes amuse ment for the older members of the po lice force but the greenest one on record was a special who for convenience will be called Jones. Jones was assigned to the residence part of town west of Kansas avenue. He was to work in connection with an other special officer. The first night Jones reported that he had seen several suspicious characters. He borrowed a revolver and a box of cartridges and went out on his beat. It was a dark night. He was walking along and saw a man coming toward him. He drew his revolver, stepped to the side of the walk and waited. As the man was opposite him he jumped to the sidewalk, stuck the revolver in the man's face and commanded him to hold up his hands. The man was the other special police man. In a short time the special returned to the station and reported that Jones was too thorough in his work and he would rather not be in his neighbor hood. A half hour later another man came and later still another, all report ing that they had been held up for ex amination by a play detective with a tin star. It was Jones. He held up everyone at the point of his revolver and examined them. Later a telephone message came that there was a pitched battle out near Clay street. At least 25 shots had been fired. Two officer were sent out to in vestigate. Before they returned Jones came in hatless and breathless. "Give me another box of cartridges," he shouted. "Where's the other box?" asked the jailer. "I shot those at some chicken thieves." "How close to them did you get?" "About a block and a half. I sat down and fired that whole box at them. Give me another box and I'll go back after them." Jones was relieved from further duties as a policeman.

A Topeka young man was walking homeward after office hours when he was overtaken by a young lady driving a stylish turnout. She stopped and' in vited him to ride. He climbed in and as she was tired of handling the reins she handed them over to the young man with the request that he do the driving. He drove along at a brisk gait and the conversation was as lively. He noticed ahead of them a crowd in the road and as they came nearer saw it was a fire. The firemen had the hose stretched across the street. The young man saw it but did not want to turn and go back so he drove over it and had barely crossed when a policeman grabbed the horse and said. "You have to go to the station with me." The young man forgot, perhaps, that it is against the law to drive over a fire hose. "SVhy I can't leave this young lady and go with you," said the young man. "What do you want with him?" quer ied the young lady. "I must arerst him for driving over that hose," said the policeman. "Well I'll drive you all down," said the young lady and the policeman made the duo a trio and off for the station they started. When they reached there the jailer informed the young man that he would have to deposit $5 for his appearance in the morning at court time. The young man did not have it. "Perhaps the young lady has it," said the officer. "But I don't want to ask her," said the young man in desperation. "I'll ask her," and before the almost frantic young man could stop him the officer told the young lady the way matters stood. She did not have $5 but put up her watch and drove the young man home. He reported at the station the next morning, pleaded guilty, paid his fine and remarked to the officer as he took the watch to return to the young lady, "I'm going to take her something else, too. I never had courage to before but I have now." It must have been a ring he took her for they have been married since. MR. MULYANE INDIGNANT. He Did Not Know There Was a Joint In Sis Building'. The June number of the Good Citi zen, the organ of the Young People's Good Citizenship Federation, is out and contains the promised list of the joints in Topeka, with their location, proprie tors and the names of the owners of the buildings where they are located. There are 24 Joints on the list, and the names and locations of 21 others which are said to have quit, are also given. In the list of joints now in operation the following paragraph is given: "Resubmission club, Crawford's Opera House. John Kneissler in charge, owned by John R. Mulvane." When asked if the statement in the Good Citizen was true, Mr. Mulvane said today: "I had no knowledge that a joint was being run in the buildingg. The pro perty came into my possession last September, and since that time Mr. Crawford has acted as my agent. I gave him instructions that there should be no lease given for joint purposes and I did not suppose that there was any place in the building where liquor3 were sold. A club might run under that name and still not be selling whisky and violating the law. I shall investigate the matter as soon as Mr. Crawford returns to the city, and if there is a joint running there I will fire it out. I have lived in Topeka for 30 years and I never have rented a build ing for such a purpose and I don't pro pose to. There is no mistake about my owning the building. I own it and have tiled suits to quiet my title to it." NEED NEW ENGINE. City Will Buy One For North Topeka Soon as Possible. In answering the alarm of fire in North Topeka Friday afternoon the chemical engine from station No. 1 broke down while going to the fire and had to be run in for repairs. The old chemical engine has been in service about 25 years and the mechani cal parts of the cylinders have become so worn that the apparatus has several times broken down while going to a fire. The people in that fire district are anxious for a new chemical engine. Chief Wilmarth is just as anxious for a new chemical engine and his recom mendation that a new one be purchased w-as approved by the council some time ago with the understanding that it would be bought -as soon as the city's finances would warrant it. A new chemical engine, such as is needed, would cost $2,100 but by turning in the old Babcock engine and the old chemical engine now In use the new one could be bought for $1,800. Mayor Drew said today: "I know that a new chemi cal engine is needed in North Topeka and as was understood when the coun cil approved Chief Wilmarth's request for a new one, it will be bought as soon as the city has the money available. I think after the tax settlement in July the council will And a way to purchase the new engine. "At present the city is under extra ordinary heavy expenses this year and we have to be careful to make our avail able money met the expenses. Some of the items is the paving on Topeka avenue, the Fourth street bridge which will have to be refloored, the new floor ing to the viaduct and the improve ments at the electric light plant. I feet confident that the new engine can be bought this fall." 25,000 PEOPLE Come Into Holyoke to See President McKinley. Holyoke, Mass., June 17. Fully 25,000 persons came to Holyoke during the day. The procession stretched for nearly a mile. The president and the other guests and officials occupied the reviewing stand at Athletic park. The procession passed in review of the president, who remained standing with uncovered head throughout and acknowledged with a bow each salute by the marching battalions. Later the president and Mrs. McKinley enjoyed a short drive under the guidance of Mr. Whiting, and then they returned to the latter's residence for dinner. Brick: Company Sued. L. L. Alexander was appointed ad ministrator of the estate of W. E. Alexander by Judge Dolman today. W. E.

CHARGES FILED. Secretary of State Board of Health, Will Be "Investigated.'' A matter which has thus far escaped the attention' of the public is the fact that charges of gross neglect of duty, incompetency and unbecoming conduct as an official, were filed with the state board of health against H. Z. Gill, the secretary, at the meeting this week. The charges were signed by Dr. Charles Lowry of this city. The board adjourn ed, without taking action on the charges, until the next meeting, which is in Sep tember. Dr. Gill is still making war against his stenographer and has carried it to such an extent that the young woman has been compelled to appeal to her brother for protection. The doctor in sists that Miss Colburn issue a public denial or retraction of the statements in the papers that she was locked in the office by him. She declines to do so. It now transpires that the reason why Dr. Gill wants to drive Miss Colburn out of the office is to create a vacancy which would be filled by the appoint ment of a member of Dr. Gill's family. Mrs. Gill recently wrote Miss Colburn a letter asking her to find another job so her daughter could get the place in her father's office. CATTLE QUARANTINE. It Is to Be Directed Against Tuber culosis Illinois Stock. The probabilities are that at the next meeting the Kansas live stock sanitary commission will establish a quarantine against Illinois to prevent the shipment into the state of stock and dairy cat tle. This is due to the fact that the com missioners believe there is danger of tu berculosis getting into Kansas from Il linois. M. C. Campbell, a member of the commission, has been in Chicago during the week witnessing the slaugh ter of the cattle infected with tubercu losis, and it is his opinion that a quar antine should be established. The commissioners have not taken the matter up officially, but the mem bers individually favor the establish ment of a quarantine against Illinois cattle at this time. 5,000 CUBANS Are Awaiting Payment of American Honey at Kemedios. Havana, June 17. At Remedios today over 5,000 Cuban soldiers are waiting payment. Lieutenant Colonel Rafferty so far has paid out $28,275. The mayor of Remedios has received 323 rifles. The men awaiting payment fill the hotels and houses and many of them sleep in the parks. A number of men expecting payment, have incurred debts for food and several of the names do not show on the lists. Benito Hernandez, who served during the ten years war and who has been in the field since 1895, has not been placed on the list. This is an example of the I way in which the lists are drawn up. The American soldiers are restraining the crowds, who are anxious to be paid j Dut tne fjunans are oraeriy. The payment of the Cubans at Car denas began this morning. After an ar gument between the mayor and the Cu ban colonel, Mayato, the Americans agreed to pay all men who were identi fied even if they did not have any arms in their possession. LOST IN BRAZIL. Fort Scott Boy Will Fit Out a Relief Expedition to Find His Brother. Fort Scott, June 17. Frank Greenfield arrived today from South America and will at once undertake to outfit a relief expedition to find his brother Alfred, who went into the interior of South America last August with a Kansas City company to take possession of a rubber concession given by the Brazil ian government. The two Greenfield boys left here for South Africa over two years ago and there joined a company of English min ers and went to South America, where they separated, Alfred joining the Kan sas City company, which he now thinks is lost or destroyed by the natives. SLOAN'S DENIAL. The Jockey Says He Did Not Strike the Waiter at Ascot. London, June 17. Tod Sloan, the American jockey who is alleged to have Assaulted a waiter at Ascot Heath, made a further statement on the sub ject this afternoon. He said the reason he took the blame and did not deny the affair at the time was to protect the friend who was with him. He added that he had received letters asking for compensation and says he heard a num ber of men say to the waiter: "Go to the hospital and there is a chance of getting money from him." I absolutely refused to give the wait er, under the circumstances, five cents to save his life," said Sloan. "I deny striking the waiter, who is not seriously hurt." DEATHS AND FUNERALS. The funeral of David T. Jackson, who was shot by S. E. Yoeman last Sunday, will take place from the First Presby terian church Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock. Rev. J. D. Countermine will officiate. LOCAL MENTION. Sam Merrit, of North Topeka, was run away with by his horse near the bridge last night. The horse kicked and wrecked the buggy and Merrit's shoul der was dislocated and his side badly hurt. Edith Bevins, the colored woman who was associated with Johnson Jordan, was badly cut with a razor in a fight with another colored woman at Wichita a day or two ago. J. W. Priddy has sold his bock and stationery business, corner Eighth and Jackson streets, to W. M. Forbes of Potwin, for his son. The business will be continued at the same place. Rehearing Granted. The court of appeals has granted a rehearing in the suit of John C. Doug lass against Isaac Lieberman, a tax title suit from Leavenworth. The reason for the rehearing is that the defendant knew nothing about the case until he received notice that the court had ren dered a judgment against him. Through an oversight the court officials did not notice that the plaintiff had not served notice of the appeal on the defendant, and when the plaintiff appeared to ar gue the case the court understood that the defendant would make no defense. Judge Hook was the defendant's at torney before he went on the federal bench, and it was upon an affidavit made by him that a rehearing was granted. Telephone 530, Kaczynski, for char coal.

The Society's Growth in the First Five Months of 1899 Exceeds All Previous Records, While Its' Re serve Fund is Fast Nearing the $200,000.00 Mark. The Knights and Ladies of Security whose headquarters are In Topeka, oc cupying the first floor of the Stormont building, 107 West Sixth avenue, have had a most remarkable and successful career and now rank as the most se cure and reliable among the many good fraternal orders of the country. Organized in 1892 under a "Reserve Fund" plan, that is today recognized as the best yet devised to insure per petuity and reasonable cost, it has grown to number more than 25,000 mem bers and has councils organized in seventeen states of the union. On the first of January, 1899, the so ciety had over 20,000 members and has added over 5,000 to their rank3 since that time. Commencing without capital it had on January 1, 1899, $123,000 reserve fund, which, has increased since that time to $160,000 and will by the end of 1899 near ly if not altogether reach the sum of $200,000. For its age It has the greatest amount of reserve fund or capital of any fra ternal order ever organized, and this, too, accumulated when its membership was small and its plan opposed by nearly all the fraternal orders of the country. The plans of fraternal orders have been undergoing great changes in the past few years. Several of the oldest and largest or ders have been compelled by the force of circumstances (which in their case was the payment of death losses) to en tirely revolutionize their plans and con fess than the system as conducted here tofore was a failure and only a benefit to those who died early and that to prove of benefit to the masses, for whom they were organized, it would be necessary to charge such sums as monthly payments from their members as would meet the natural mortality in a series of years. The majority of orders have done this and are to be congratulated on devising remedies to overcome the mistakes of the past and have proven too that" the men who succeeded the early projectors of the system that has done so much to benefit mankind, has kept homes in tact, has saved widows from despair, and children from poverty, were men who realized their duties and tried to remedy the mistakes of the past as soon as they were apparent. The founders of the Knights and Ladies of Security profiting by the twenty-five years of experience of fra ternal orders and realizing the defects of the system, started in with the view of building a fraternal order that with each succeeding year would grow stronger and that the man of middle age could advise his son to join with the certainty that should both live life's expectancy their beneficiaries would re ceive the sum that they had provided for in their certificates. In Topeka nearly 1.500 of its citizens are members of the Knights and Ladies of Security and in many families father, mother, sons and daughters carry cer tificates for the protection of each other; The order publishes a monthly paper of 30,000 copies each issue and a copy will be given any one who calls at the office or sends a postal giving address which will fully explain Its plans and give full information in regard to the society.

Send for Catalogue. Crane Co., Agents, 812 KANSAS AVENUE, TOPEKA, KAS. BY A TOPEKA GIRL. Book of Letters Written by Miss Anna Maris Nellis. A book of letters written by Anna Marie Nellis has just been issued from the Kansas Farmer press. It bears the alluring title of "Young Folks in the Old Country." Hiss Nellis is a Topeka girl who is now in Europe. The letters are mainlv 2escriptions of things she lias seen and they are written an an entertaining style which is usually absent in stories of travel. The following paragraph from a let ter written in Denmark will serve to illustrate the interesting method em ployed in the treatment of subjects: "The royal home of the king of Den mark is not far from the center of the city of Copenhagen and consists of four uniform rococo buildings which bound the sides of a handsome square park. This is called AmaUenborg palace and t." occupied by the king, crown prince, with their families and the officials of their households. "The four buildings are almost ex actly alike, the center of each beinp: three stories in height with wings of only two stories. No flags were float ing from any of the buildings so we knew that none of the royal family were at home. It being summer time they were at one of their summer pal aces, after the manner of rich American kings. "We had the exquisite pleasure of thoroughly inspecting the outside but we were informed that no visitors were Ulowed to examine the inside of the palace. We could find no fault with this arrangement for we knew that good sensible people in America or any where else would object to having curi osity hunters promiscuously locating their noses in private household affairs, ttill it is a fact that very many royal palaces in Europe are open to inspec tion."' The book is printed on heavy calen dered paper and is lOH inches long by inches wide and contains 220 pages. 14 of which are page pictures. There are 49 illustrations in all. Only 20 of the illustrations appeared in Kansas Farmer, as the plates were made for the book after the letters illustrated bad been printed. The book has been bound by Crane Co.

The Luncheon is Growing in Favor Among Entertainers Kow an Excellent One May Be Given at Little Expense Things House keepers Should Know Some Hints For People Who "Wear Nice Things What Is Transpiring Among Topeka Society People. The luncheon Is becoming more and more popular as a. mode of entertaining. There is one advantage about a lunch eon, it may be as simple or as elaborate as one desires. This is the season when one craves simplicity, both of menu and decora tions. After the winter's round of heavy dinners and gorgeous receptions, a dainty repast with few decorations, appeals both to the palate and the eye. A rose or a daisy luncheon is charm ing, as well as appropriate to the sea son and with a little ingenuity on the part of the hostess, may be given at little expense. Pure white napery is always In good taste; the only color should be that of the centerpiece, and the sparkling silver and cut glass. At a daisy or rose lunch eon it is not necessary to follow out the color scheme in the different viands. j though it is a pretty idea if one caxes to go to the extra bother. The center piece should be of Batten burg or honiton, with a bowl or vase of daisies; the big creamy field daisies with yellow centers are the most effec tive and the bowl or vase should be of clear glass through which the stems of the blossoms may be seen; every mantle and table in the room should be massed with daisies, and the name cards paint- j ed in daisies or inscribed with appro priate quotations. Roses may be used in the same manner and but one color gives the prettiest effect. Following are two menus, suitable for spring luncheons: Bouillon. Wafers. Pressed Chicken. Creamed Peas. Olives Pickles. Thin Bread and Butter. Lettuce Salad. Wafers, Cheese. Pineapple Sherbet. Angel Food. Coffee. Almonds. Chicken Broth. Croutons. Cold Sliced Ham. Creamed Cauliflower. Parker House Rolls. Cucumbers. Potato Chips Tomatoe Salad. Cheese Wafers. Strawberry Shortcake with Whipped Cream. Coffee. Assorted Cakes. Cheese. Things Worth Knowing. Little onions are now boiled and served on toast with a cream dressing after the manner of asparagus: besides possessing the charm of novelty, they are most appetizing. One cup of sugar sweetens one quart of anything to be served icy cold or frozen. Melons should be packed in ice several hours before using, but should not be filled with cracked ice as it destroys the flavor. If you spill kerosene on the carpet don't wait until It evaporates, but cover the place with corn meal or bran about an Inch thick, on which set enough hot irons to cover the spot. Let stand until cool then sweep off the meal and if any traces of the spot remain repeat the operation. Rice absorbs three times its bulk of water and more of milk or stock. Veal, which is one of the principal summer meats, should be thoroughly cooked, and that rather slowly. A dainty way to prepare radishes for the table is to cut off a morsel from the tip of each, leaving at the other end the heart, leaves and a bit of the stem. Cut the skin down from the tip in five or six places, bending each piece slightly outward to simulate the petals. If this is carefully done, the radish takes on the appearance of a half opened flower. Some Pretty Gowns. j It is said that the French can design costumes, but it takes American wo men to wear them. Following are de scriptions of a few Paris gowns, which are aliuring enough to make the most sound minded girl a little envious of the fortunate possessors of them: Felix has sorrre especially lovely, high necked gowns, designed for tne summer. One shows a form of overskirt that is interesting. The material is a sky blue silk, heavily embroidered in a rose pat tern, done in fine crochet braid. This embroidery is done by hand. and is won derfully effective. The overskirt is of two deep, pointed pieces, in the shape of half-handkerchiefs,that cross each other in front. These are edged with the embroidery and a deep lace flounce, and fall over an underskirt of white mousseline over pink. The bodice is of pink, covered with much lace inser tion, and tiny tucks of white mousse line. On the sides, under the arms, are pointed pieces of blue silk, embroid ered, and small, half-handkerchief pieces of the same are edged with a deep lace flounce, and arranged back and front. This pretty, old combina tion of sky blue and light pink prom ises to be fashionable this summer. Another dainty gown is of white silk, printed with blue and pink flowers. The skirt is lined with pink silk and cut with demi-train, and lace entre deux, edged with ruchinsts of pink mous selins de soie. form a trimming up and down and about the skirt. On the bodice the top of the sleeves and yoke are of pleated pink mousseline over this is a lattice of black velvet that ties in rows of little bows. The belt is a scarf of mousseline de soie, with bow and long ends falling on skirt. Baking Powder Made from pure cream of tartar. Safeguards the food against alum. Alum baking powders are the greatest meaacers to health of the present day. Bwu. baking wrnrn co., mew vonc. A unique summer frock Is a coarse ecru linen toile, trimmed with broad, waving panels of Vosges lace. There is a suggestion of window draperies in the combination, it must be admitted, but for certain occasions it will be most suitable. For the seashore this gown would look well trimmed with red. The present model is lined with lavender, and has lavender trimmings on the bod ice. A deep lace collar outlines a tuck ed yoke of lavender silk. A cravat ties In a sailor knot on the breast, some four or five inches below the choker. This form of cravat, by the way, appears on a lot of smart blouses. The small bo lero on this bodice is trimmed on the fevers by tiny ladders of lavender silk. Imagine a band of silk cut out to form an exact ladder, with all the edges turn ed in and nicely stitched, and one has an excellent idea of what this trim ming is like. In this case the trim ming is about an inch and a half broad and is used as an edge. The narrow vest is tucked like the yoke, and a scarf of lavender mousseline de soie is tied about the waist. An alluring frock of lavender and white India silk has its tight-fitting skirt trimmed down the front and around the bottom with a four-inch band of white cloth, stitched with white. Over the simply constructed blouse of silk is worn a very short bo lero of the cloth perforated. A beauti ful gray crepe de chine has a long over skirt that opens on the left side and is fastened with bows of gray velvet and rhinestone buckles. The overskirt is trimmed all around with Irish crochet, put on with as little fullness as possible, and the lace falls over two deep ruffles of silk that finish the underskirt. The bodice is made with a series of tucks at the lower part, while the upper part hangs loosely from the shoulders, and is made almost entirely of Irish lace. It is fastened at the left shoulder with lit tle bows to match the overskirt. The sleeves are tucked the entire length and have flaring cuffs of the lace fastened at the wrist with a black velvet band. Embroidery appears on the elaborate silk blouses. A blouse of primrose yellow corded silk is embroidered with black chenille. The guimpe is of tuck ed mousseline de soie. Embroidery sounds most difficult to the home dress maker, but when it is known that there are various shops in town that do the most attractive embroidery of all kinds by machine, for a nominal price, this i very fashionable accessory of fashion is I within the reach of all. Black and j white effects in blouses are very smart, j and the clever needlewoman can wear j her own blouse, so to speak, with small f effort. For example, white inch-wide taffeta ribbon can be sewed together with feather stitching of black. Again, lace insertion and ribbon are joined by this same stitch. What to Wear. Piques will be worn more than ever this season. Big Alsatian bows promise to be fa vorite hat trimmings this summer. A handsome belt buckle is in the shape of two butterflies of gold, beau tifully enameled and set with precious stones. A pretty combination for summer wear is the white pique skirt, with deli cate tinted silk shirt waists; to be ab solutely correct the hat and parasol should match the waist. Transparent lace sleeves are to be worn in this summer's evening gowns, and the semi-transparent to the elbow for afternoon toilets. Alpaca in dark blue, brown and gray is serviceable for traveling dresses. IN TOPEKA SOCIETY. How the Summer is Being Spent by Those Loft at Home. 'A delightful porch party was given Thursday evening by Miss Pearlade Prescott at her home on Taylor street. Miss Prescott is a charming hostess and always has some novel manner of entertainment for her guests, and this occasion was no exception to the rule; each one present told a story, pathetic or humorous as he or she felt inclined.

According to a "Washington correspondent of the Jour nal and Advertiser, two important de cisions were made at the meeting of the cabinet held Just before the presi dent started for Holyoke, referring to the campaign in the Philippines. First That in view of the strength of Aguinaldo in the north as developed In dispatches from Gen. Otis, the ag gressive campaign against the rebel chief must be renewed with vigor. Second That the army and navy must co-operate to maintain a tight blockade of Luzon in order to prevent the landing of supplies of any charac ter for the rebel forces. In renewing the war against Aguinaldo the president is pursuing the same pol icy as that now in operation against the rebel forces in the south. President McKinley expressed sur prise that the insurgent forces should be able apparently, to procure inex haustible supplies of arms and ammu nition, and directions were cabled to Admiral Watson to co-operate with Gen. Otis in trying to prevent the landing of munitions of war on the is land of Luzon. A blockade of the island was reported established some time ago, but every encounter with the insurgents demon strates that they still have abundant supplies. Cabinet officers are of the opinion that if a strict blockade is maintained the insurgents will quickly exhaust their resources. Especial reasons fur using extraordinary vigilance in main taining the blockade are now said to exist. English and American mer chants in Hong Kong who are help ing the FTiilippine junta are showing great activity and are said to be offer ing enticing inducements to blockade runners to carry arms and ammunition to Aguinaldo. A telegram was sent to Major Gen eral Ehafter. in command at the Pre sidio, San Francisco, directing him to use the utmost expedition in preparing the transports Zealandia, Valencia, Sheridan and Pennsylvania for the trip to Manila. Although it is deemed im perative by the president to get rein forcements to Gen. Otis as soon as pos sible, the lack of transports may delay some of them until next month. The first expedition starting on June 22 on the Pennsylvania, and Zealandia will carry six troops of the Fourth cav alry, two companies of the Fourteenth infantry, and as many recruits as pos sible. The second expedition starting June 24, on the Sheridan and Valencia, will consist of the Nineteenth infantry and recruits. A point of importance to the many applicants for commissions in the vol unteer service was decided at the meet ing. Gen. Otis is to name officers for the three regiments of volunteers only in proportion to the number of men in the Philippines who re-enlist. If only 3.000 should enlist there. Gen. Otis would appoint only 80 or 90 of the total 150 officers that would be needed, the rest of the officers being appointed by the president from applicants in the United States.

Lease to Be a Great Attrac tion at Their Camp Meetings. Chesterfield, Ind., June 17. A list of spiritualists' state and district summer camp meetings for the north central states has just been completed. The camp season opens this month and con tinues through September. There will be fifty-six state and district meetings this year and of that number twenty one are in the north central states. Im mediately after the close of the state camps the last week in September will occur the national meeting, which con venes in Chicago October 8. Both state and national meetings this year will be of exceptional interest, because the long fight on the question of declaring a creed has reached a crisis "and will have to be disposed of.

STREETS PILED HIGH. Cleveland Car Company Forced to Heat a Retreat. Cleveland, O., June 17. When cars began running today over the lines opened by the street railway company since the strike began, the tracks in every direction were found piled high with obstacles of all kinds. These were removed with some difficulty and cars continued running on all lines, but one without serious interruption. A few stones were thrown at points on all lines, and on Perkins avenue two cars were stopped by a crowd which was easily dispersed. On the South side, however, there was rioting. At 11 o'clock two cars at Clark and Jennings avenues found the switches broken. These were repaired in the midst of a howling mob and the cars rushed on to Clark avenue and Pearl street. As they arrived, a bugler in the crowd gave warning, and the crowds congregated in vast numbers. Four thousand people were soon on the scene. Wagons, trucks and other con veyances were purposely driven across the tracks and the blockade was com pleted. The police then charged the mob with a vengeance. The crowd was especial ly disorderly. The usual volleys of missiles were hurled and the windows of the cars shattered. As the mob was beaten back at one point, it advanced at another. During the battle Edward Miller was struck over the head by an officer and very badly injured. The cars were taken back to the city. Half a dozen people were injured in the Clark avenue riot. Edward Miller, Dr. George and Conrad Mclntyre were seriously hurt. An unknown baby in its carriage was hit by a stone and terribly hurt. The police fairly out matched, gave up the battle and went back to town. There were enormous mobs on the South side all day and at times very demonstrative. For a short time a set tlement of the strike seemed at hand, but complications arose which again increased the gulf between the men and the company. A conference had been arranged for 10 o'clock but the company officials at the last moment refused to meet the strikers committee composed in part of general officers of the union. The com pany would meet union officials only as individuals, they would have no deal ings with the union. The strikers now charge the company with bad faith and have declared all negotiations off.

John Nolan, the holder of the 4-year-old trotting record of 2:08 and the largest purse winner of last season, will be in the free-for-all trot next Thurs day. No horse In the list of entries is as well known nor as famous as John No lan. There are but 16 horses in the country who ever surpassed Nolan's rec ord of 2:08. It was on the famous Louisville track last year that he set the mark for the fastest heat ever trotted by a 4-year-old. The Topeka track rec ord of 2:18 will undoubtedly go by the board during the free-for-all trot. John Nolan's greatest race was for the Charter Oak stakes at Hartford, Conn., last year. He carried off first money in the $10,000 purse. During the season he started in 12 races. At the beginning of the season he was without a record and at the close was down to the eight mark. He won first money in eight straight events and second money in two. The Transylvania stakes brought in $5,000 at Lexington, the Douglass stakes at Louisville $5,000, and first money at Boston, Detroit and Fort Wayne placed him for the season $15, 600 ahead and gave him the credit of having won more money during the sea son than any other horse. In all the races John Nolan is driven by Willis O. Foote the .famous horseman who has carried the greatest money makers in his string for the past three seasons. He is a tall, slender man with a black beard, and would never be taken for a. jockey, but he has piloted many a winner under the wire. DEAD NUMBER 125. Summary of the Storm's Work at Now Richmond.

Attorney General Godard, while In Leavenworth, made a personal investi gation of the "Klondike" district, which is the scene of so much crime and has been responsible for the death of many old soldier inmates of the National Mil itary home. Recently the governor of the home made a complaint to the governor, re questing official action to drive the no torious resorts out of business. The governor promised to take the matter up, and the inspection made by Mr. Godard is presumed to be for the pur pose of opening up a legal warfare against the criminals and criminal re sorts which constitute the "Klondike."

"Money," said State Treasurer Frank Grimes, as he accepted the cash for a large batch of school bonds, "was never so plentiful nor so cheap as at the pres ent. We have to be very careful or some localities would take up bonds be longing to the school fund that are not due. The law does not permit, their payment before maturity unless the money has been regularly raised by taxation for such purpose. "Eastern parties are offering any quantity of money at 4 per cent inter est. A great number of school bonds held in out vaults which bear 6 per cent or 7 per cent contain an option of re demption clause and they are being taken up by the municipalities them selves or by refunding at a lower rate of interest. "The day is past when Kansas bonds are a reproach on the markets of the world. Today they are at a premium. Of course this applies to bonds which have been regularly and legitimately issued, and not to the boom time issues of ten years ago. Some of those will not be paid for many a year perhaps never. "I wish that the matter of the boom time bonds of western Kansas could fairly be presented to the eastern hold ers. Many of them never were regu larly issued, although their defects may have been 'cured' so that a court of law could not knock them out. I have lived in western Kansas for many years and I know what the people out there have gone through. There are no better people on the face of the earth, but these are not the boomers who put the bonds on those counties. No, indeed: the boomer, after getting all he could in western Kansas, swindling the west and the east alike, has gone to practice his nefarious trade in some other local ity. I know of instances where mu nicipalities in the west have been bond ed before there were bona fide settlers residing there. Our people now in the west are there for the purpose of mak ing their homes and improving the country, and it is very discouraging to them that bonds to the extent of tens of thousands of dollars have been placed on their towns and counties by parties who came and resided there long enough to do that and then left. "The holders of these bonds should understand this, and not insist upon the 'full pound of flesh' and the exac tion of the uttermost farthing. Many of these western bonds were bought away below par. We are not repudi ators, but, when I see wealthier portions of the state getting all the money they want at 4 per cent, I think something might be done for the homesteaders of the west who pay 6 per cent or more on bonds that never benefited them a dol lar. Where the bonds run to the state I have hopes of seeing a more equitable adjustment of this matter in the near future. We must do this. Certainly the school fund must be kept inviolate, as nearly as possible, but a scaling of the indebtedness in principal or interest for these western counties and school districts would be a just and righteous thing to do. The wrong, if wrong there be, was perpetrated years ago when the money was first expended. The law for the protection of the school fund cannot mean that where a school dis trict is unable to pay all the debt, that the state cannot accept a part, but must let it all be lost." ROBBERY THE SAME Sajs L. M. Rock wood, Whether Done by Dick Turpin or Rockefeller. Washington, June 17. The industrial commission today heard a statement from L. M. Rcckwood, an oil producer of Zelienople, Pa., in opposition to the Standard Oil trust. Mr. Lockwood de clared that this company had driven the independent refineries into bank ruptcy and servitude and he denounced the course pursued in severe terms. He held the railroads especially responsi ble for this condition of affairs. Going back to 1872, he referred at length to a contract made by the trunk lines of Pennsylvania with the South Improve ment company. Under this contract, he said, the freight rates on oil were dou bled and half the amount collected was paid back as rebate not only this, but the contract company received a like rebate of the shipments of all other companies. This contract he declared had been secretly continued by the rail roads with the Standard Oil company. He quoted A. J.Cassatt. the new pres ident of the Pennsylvania railway as testifying before the interstate com merce commission to the effect that while the open rate to the public was $1.90 per barrel, the rate to the Stand ard company was 80 cents. Further in vestigation said Mr. Lockwood, had developed the fact that the railway companies actually received only 35 cents. This condition of affairs had re sulted for a time, according to the wit ness, in giving the Standard company, a profit of 400 per cent while the inde pendent refineries were being driven rapidly into bankruptcy. Mr. Lockwood was free in the use of epithets charac terizing both the old company and rail road officials as highwaymen and brig ands. "If you have got to be robbed,"he ex claimed, "it does not matter much whether you are held up by Dick Tur pin with a pistol, or by John Rockefel ler, with a railroad; it is robbery all the same." He said that men who had carefully analyzed the testimony taken before the Hepburn committee estimated that in 186 months time the five trunks lines of Pennsylvania had paid the Standard company $11,000,000 in rebates. The rail ways companies, had, he said, com pletely ignored the interstate commis sion's order to stop their discrimina tion in favor of the Standard company, resorting to the system of false billing. Speaking of the remedy for the evil Mr. Lockwood said it was in public ownership of the railroads and not to be found in courts the courts were too slow and expensive. "The railroads and the oil company can razoo a man up and down in the courts for ten years," he said, '"until he is ruined, and then go on with their work, leaving their victim stranded." As a reward, the combines elevate their instruments to higher places po litically. Thus it was that the thought of the common people was gradually becoming fixed to the effect that the great railway combines were gradually packing the supreme courts with men in sympathy with their monopolists tendencies and who would do their bid ding.

Judge Simon ton today in the county court decided that an army canteen for the sale of liquor to soldiers cannot be carried on without a regular license from the courts.. This decision was made in the case of two men who were arrested on complaint of the anti-saloon league of the state for maintaining a canteen at Camp Meade. Counsel for the defend ants argued that they were acting un der instructions of the commandant of the camp who was acting under auth ority of military law. Judge Simonton said that he did not recognize such a law when in conflict with the law of the state; that the United States had no authority to issue a license to sell liquor in the states. He directed the jury to find a verdict of guilty and then sus pended sentence. At the same time he notified all con cerned that if there were any more violations of the law he would sentence them all. The commandant of the camp promised that the canteen would be suppressed. BRITISH SQUADRON. Reported to Have Arrived at Delagoa Bay. London, June 17. According to a dis patch to a news agency from Pretoria, a squadron of seven British warships has arrived at Inyack island (or St. Mary island) at the entrance of Delagoa bay. There is no confirmation of the report and in semi-official circles it is looked upon as being untrue. TRAIN KUJSi.l.KS CAUGHT Three Men Who Held Up a P. G. Train Are Taken, Kansas City, Mo., June 17. A Star special from Mena, Ark., says: The three train robbers who held up the Pittsburg Gulf passenger train Friday morning have been captured at Cameron, I. T., after a running fight. A number of shots were exchanged be- iween tne robbers and posse, but no one- was injured. The men gave their names as Burns, Peters and Tate, and have been working in the coal mines in that vicinity. The capture was made by Inspector Hank, of the postoffice department, and Charles Copeland. chief of the secret I service department of the Gulf road. Burns, the leader of the gang, is an ex railway engineer and this accounts for the familiarity with which he handled the engine. GRACEFULLY STEPS DOWN Warden Landis Will Turn Keys Over Promptly on July 1st. Governor Stanley today received the resignation of Harry Landis as warden of the state penitentiary effective July The document was delivered to the governor by W. T. Tipton, clerk at the penitentiary. The governor immedi ately wrote to Air. Landis accepting his resignation. Mr. Landis' letter is short and to the point, as follows: "I hereby tender you my resignation to take effect July 1, 1899, as demanded by you." The governor claims that he made no demand upon Mr. Landis for his resig nation. Some months ago Mr. Landis agreed to resign July 1 with the un derstanding that there would be no investigation started against him in the meantime. A few days ago the governor told Mr. Landis, that as the fiscal year is draw ing to a close it might be a good idea to send in the resignation so the mat ter could be gotten out of the way and Mr. Tomlinson could prepare to take charge. The governor says no demand other than this was made on Mr.Landis and that the suggestion made to the warden was but along the line of the agreement which the two men made. In view of the circumstances it is the opinion of the administration that the words "as demanded by you"in the let ter are unfair to the governor. The friends of Mr. Landis say Stanley did insist upon the resignation or an in vestigation. So there are the two sides of the story. Caution. Should be used in buying Colic and Diarrhoea Medicine. Very hot prepara- tions are iniurious to the lining: of the stomach and are absolutely dangerous for children to take. Begga' Diarrhoea Bal sam is guaranteed to cure Colic, Cholera Infantum and Flux.

COFFEE DID IT. Would Have Been Fatal if Kept TJp Coffee!! Oh how I did want It after the nervous strain of public work. Something warm to brace me up was all the breakfast I craved, but every time I drank It, I suffered the dying (sensation that follows it with heart fluttering and throbbing of the throat and ears. I had no strength to throw away In that way, so decided that hot water must do for me. One morning I came to breakfast In the home of some friends In Pueblo, Colo., Just in time to see the Mother pouring some richh deep yellow coffee Into mugs for the two little boys. One little chap had thrust his fingers In the mug and was licking them with such approving smacks. This opened the way for me to say, "Are you not afraid of the effects of coffee on the little folks?" The Mother explained that it was Postum Food Coffee made at Bat tle Creek, Michigan, and remarked, "We think there is nothing like it." Then she explained how the new coffee had weaned them away from the use of the old-fashioned coffee and tea because "it is so wholesome." I drank it there for the first time, and was delighted, not only with the delicious flavor, but the after satisfaction It gives. One day I was speaking with our family phy sician's wife about Postum. when her daughter remarked, '"Yes. Mamma, we are out of Postum. and I have used coffee for the last two mornings and it always brings the tired feeling and troubles my stomach and bowels, but Postum makes me feel all right." In one home they served Postum In such a way that it was tasteless. I have found that Potrtum boiled some times five minutes, and sometimes ten, is nothing more than spoiled water, but when it is made with two heaping tea ftpoonsful for each cup. and boiled fif teen or twenty minutes, it becomes a tried and proven breakfast favorite, and lor refreshment and wholesome nourish ment, has no equal. M. M. Yates, Ceaben, Ind, NEW YORKER SEES WEST. Reports That the Country Was Never So Prosperous Before. New York, June 17. Anson. R. Flow-, er, head of the firm of Flower Co., who has Just returned from the west, said in discussing his trip: "I visit the west every year at about this season with the object of learning for myself the state of business and the crop outlook. I believe, from what I have seen and heard on the trip just ended, during which we traveled about 4,000 miles, that the country has never been more prosperous than it is at pres ent. The crops seem to be in good con dition and the western railroad officials say, basing their opinion on the reports furnished directly to them by the agents along their respective lines, that there will be at least an average crop this year. The manager of one of the northwestern lines, who was with us on the trip, told us that the crop in the region traversed by his road, which is chiefly a epring wheat country, would probably be larger than last year. The railroads are carrying more tons than ever to the mile and are reducing grades and otherwise bettering their properties. As for the Federal Steel company, it owns its own mines and steamers, as well as its manufacturing plants and an enormous quantity of ore is being taken from its mines. All the other companies also are prospering and industrial conditions throughout the country appear to be excellent. There does not seem to be a cloud on the financial sky." MEN AND DOGS Have the XT. P. Train Robbers Sur rounded Again. Cheyenne, Wyo., June 17. The blood hounds sent to the Big Horn mountains several days ago to assist in the chase of the bandits who dynamited the Un ion Pacific mail train, have been suc cessful in picking up the trail and fol lowing it from T. K. Mountain, where the robbers eluded their pursuers, to the headwaters of No Wood river, south of Red Bank, Wyo., and west of the Hole in the Wall country. They are in the heart of the moun tains, where the bandits are now sur rounded on all sides by the state mi litia and popses of armed men. Captain Thorn, in command of the state troops sent against the bandits, reports that the robbers hemmed in as they are, cannot possibly escape. ORE MEN DECLARE WAR. Zinc Miners Clash With Smelters Over the Price of the Product. Joplin June 17. A fight between the zinc mine operators and zinc smelters has begun and will probably result in the exportation of thousands of tons of zinc ore to Europe. Formerly the smelters paid what they pleased for zinc ore and the miners were compelled to accept the prices offered or keep their ore. The prices being con sidered too low the zinc miners or ganized the Missouri-Kansas Zinc Miners" association six months ago, which all of the leading ore producers Joined. The association pledged its members to accept nothing under sched ule prices for their ore, and every week it makes the zinc ore prices, based upon the market price of spelter and the as say value of the ore. This plan proved a. success. Zinc advanced from the neighborhood of $30 to 55, going even above schedule prices. But it began to drop several weeks ago and has been steadily declining. The smelters have never refused to pay schedule prices, however, until this week. Last night the ore buyers met and de termined to stand together and fight the association to a finish. They agreed to turn over 2 per cent of their ore for a fund to operate with and to hold their ore for schedule prices. The as sociation will cable to Europe today to ascertain what prices will be paid for several thousand tons of zinc ore, and steps will soon be taken to build sev eral zinc smelters in the Missouri-Kansas district. The ore buyers say the low price of spelter will not warrant their paying schedule prices for ore, but the mine owners think the smelters are try ing to discourage the association in or der to get control of affairs. ANACONDA SOLD. Town and Mine Goes to Rocke feller For $23,000,000. Chicago, June 17. A special to the Times-Herald from Salt Lake says: Marcus Daly of Montana and his as sociates in the Anaconda Mining com pany have sold al Itheir holdings in that company's vast and varied interests to an eastern syndicate headed by John I. Rockefeller for $23,000,000. Though the transfer occurred more than a month ago. It has never been made public. The sale leaves Mr. Daly nothing in Montana except his Bitter Root stock farm. He is also pledged not to en gage in copper mining in Montana. Of the $23,000,000 for which the allied interests were sold Mr. Daly pockets $16,000,000. In the transfer are included practical ly the entire town of Anaconda, with its mines and smelters, with vast coal and timber lands in Montana and Wy oming, and all the accessories that go to make up a princely property. Even for this vast sum, however, the purchasers do not become the sole own ers. A London syndicate that two years ago bought the interest of the Hearsts for $7,000,000 stil lowns that fragment. Mr. Daly has agreed to remain at the head of the entire property for one year. His salary is reported to be $25, 000. At the end of that time he will go on a tour around the world. It is 28 years since Mr. Daly, who had been prospecting in the Mercer, Utah, district, went to Walkerville. Mont., to manage the Alice, owned by the Walkers of this city and himself. In 18S0 he laid the foundation of his immense fortune by selling his share of the Alice to Walkers for $S0,000. With the money thus secured he purchased a half interest in the St. Lawrence, which adjoined it on the east, in part nership with Charles Larrabee. In 1882, Larrabee sold his entire inter est and Daly sold half of his half to George Hearst and J. B. Haggin.Hearst was dealing for himself, but Lloyd Te vis was jointly interested with Haggin. The properties were consolidated. Numerous nearby claims were purchas ed together with coal and timber lands. From a struggling village of two or three hundred houses, Butte suddenly developed into a bustling city. The mines paid enormous dividends from the start, in addition to leaving enough money in the treasury to pay for improvements. Since that time the company has added mine after mine to its holdings, built the town of Anacon da, that a few years ago was the com petitor of Helena for capital of the state, erected immense smelters and become a dominant force in the indus trial and political life of the state.

UNWARRANTED. Governor Leedy Is Now Suffering the Penalty of Greatness. Ex-Governor Leedy is suffering' one of the penalties of greatness by being made a "reference" of firms that he never heard of. It seems that a new Kansas investment institution has been using Governor Leedy's name as one of its "references," and now he is kept writing letters denying that he has any knowledge of the concern. In one of these letters he says: "In reply to yours concerning the Tontine Mercantile company, will say that I never heard of it and if my name is used as a reference it is without my knowledge and consent. 1 am only ac quainted with one of the parties whose names appear as officers of the com pany and know nothing of its business methods or responsibility."
