Yet, in spite of the fact that her majesty had J traveled by train from Windsor and Jiad been driven from Farnborough to I.afayn's Plain she appeared tc enjoy the scene frcm first to last.

The Puke and Duchess of J t'rleans have g-ne to Austria. They J desired to stay at Brussels and Turin previously, but received strong hints j from King Leopold and King Humbert that their presence was not desirable. Th fact is that the absurd and elabor ate fuss a handful of the duke's follow ers persist in making when he is in Brussels or Turin has caused a great leai of trouble to the respective gov ernments. Extraordinary interest was taken in the sale of the Marlborough gems at g 'hristii's Thursday. Three of the most costly went to dealers, viz: A head of Augustus for 2.350: A Claudius Caesar y 3.750 and a pair of Imperial Heads 3.300. Mr. Talcot, who is understood to havo been buying for the Boston museum, secured a number of famous Intaglios and cameos, including the re ltowne, t cameo representing the Hy s, menial process of Kros and Psvche for hieh he paid 2.000. The sale realized t 34.762, or within 23$ of what David 'omibuv paid for the entire collection. V "AMERICAN KING MAKER." j" Senator Hanna is attracting much at- ntlon in the London papers. The nerican king maker." is what the V y Chronicle styles him. In regard j. presidential prospects he said:"If you f t a year I shall, perhaps be able to f -U who will be the next president. f .'hjs is about all most anybody could y. But as to Admiral Dewey, why I l io not suppose he is to likely to walk 1 t i! the carpet." f. The papers publish with all serious i less a story of Senator Hanna's visit I to the house of commons on Tuesday. I He was taken to the house by Mr. Henry. White, secretary of the United j States embassy and after listening to !the opening speeches of debate the sen ator is reported to have asked: "How imKh will a vote on this bill be worth?" The St. James impertinently comments f n this version of the senator's visit to the commons, saving he was "merely I applying the standard of Washington f to Westminster," adding: "It will be understood by those familiar with the scandals of congress that he put the pjesti"-in quit seriously." 1 DKFKW IS DJSOOFRAGF.D. The news from The Hague is regarded J ps quite discouraging.

The Times says: "Lady Randolph Churchill has planned her quarterly with daring and originality and has carried it out with remarkable success." THE CZARINA'S DAUGHTER. The birth of a third daughter to the Czar and Czarina, is regarded as an event of great importance, because a strong party ir. Russia was only await ing the event to resume its mischiev ous intrigues gainst the hated Prin cess of Anglo-German blood. The in fluence of the Empress Dowager whose relations with her daughter-in-law are not of the most cordiai description is expected to increase. The book publishing season is now practically over. No book of importance will be issued for another two months. The successful writers are already pre paring for the holidays, Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert Parker start for Carlsbad, early in July and Samuel L. Clemens. "Mark Twain" and his family go to Sweden. Mr. Clemens while in London has been much benefited by the treatment of a Swedish doctor and he is now going to a remote town in Sweden to take the regular Swedish cure. A limited edition of "Mark Twain's" writings which ChatLo and Windus will publish, consists of twenty-two vol umes. They will be specially illustrated and will contain more than is included in any other publication of his works. Mr. Anthony Drexel has taken Lord Ampthiile's seat, Norrie castle, Cowes, Isle of Wight, for the yachting season. The Clyde shipping returns for the past six months beat all records. One hundred and twenty-five vessels, aggre gating 244,877 tons have been launched and over six month's full work is still on hand. An interesting order was issued this week to the governor of prisons to the effect that all convicts undergoing penal servitude who have not passed the third standard in education must be relieved from labor for an hour daily, to be de voted to instruction, until the convict is able to pass tne examination. BAD MEDICINE Being Made by Indians at White Rock Agency. Price, Utah, July 1. The White River Uncompahgre and L'intah, Utes are dancing at White Rock agency. They are about 2.000 strong and the band of which Old Sow'owic is the leader numbers fully 1.000. They are camped in a bunch about a mile from the agen cy. Among this crowd there are some three hundred and fifty bucks, followers of Old Sowowic who says he will lead them back to their lands in Colorado when the dance is finished and the Green river has gone down, so it will permit of thejr taking their ponies and squaws across. This year the dance is known as the harvest dance. Indian Agent Myton having fjrbidden the sun dance. It is nothing more or less than the old shost dance or the coyote dnce and its significance is to make bad med icine. There has been considerable uneasi ness on the two reservations and in the Ashley valley country over the declara tion of Old Sowowic to go back to Col orado and this has been increased by reason of the fact that one troop of the Ninth cavalry has lately been with drawn from Fort Duchesne and sent to Fort Douglas, leaving but one troop of 103 men at the Fort Duchesne post. At the time the transfer was made Indian Agent Myton and the settlers near the reservation made a vigorous protest, but this was ignor-d by the war de partment. Captain Guilfoyle, in com mand at Fort Duchesne went to Den ver two weeks ago expecting to be ab sent a. month but returned in about ten days. There are at the dance nearly all the bad Indians from the Dakota reservation who are trouble breeders. The dance began Thursday night and. will continue for three days without food, rest or water. Word from White Rocks over the telephone line says the settlers are much alarmed. WATER IN WACO. Stands Six Feet Deep In Streets and Railroad Depot. Waco, Texas, July 1. The Brazos river reached the highest point today it has attained in 14 years. Crops along the bottoms are inundated from six to fifteen feet and in most cases are a total loss. Hundreds of people have fled from the valley and have taken refuge in this city. In East Waco the main street is six feet deep and the business houses are completely under water and all mer chandise is ruined. All trains entering this city have been abandoned, the tracks having been washed away for several miles. The water stands six feet deep in the passenger depot. The river is slowly falling, but the rain con tinues. RIVERS JOINED. Houston, Texas, July 1. The remark able heavy rains of the past four days in Texas have done damage which will amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars. Railroad traffic is suspended in south Texas, because of the numerous washouts and many bridges are gone. Every stream in this section of the state is above high water mark and the waters have destroyed thousands of acres of cotton, corn and cane, besides houses and cattle. At Calvert the rise was so sudden that when the water went through the town several negroes were drowned and rive bodies have been recovered. It is rumored that many farmers, white and colored, living in the Brazos bot toms, have been drowned, but neither names nor reliable particulars ar" yet obtainable. The Big and Little Brazos rivers have joined at Navasota, where they are ordinarily three miles apart, and the whole country between, mostly ootton and corn land, is ruined. It is reliably stated that one family of six persons perished. The loss in cotton and corn alone will reach a million dol lars, while another million will not cover the loss to railroads and other property. NEBRASKANS START HOME. Gov. Poyntsr Issues a Proclamation In Consequence. Omaha. July 1. A cablegram from Col. Mulford announces that the First Nebraka sailed from Manila for home this morning. Governor Poynter, on its receipt, issued a proclamation calling upon the people of the state to give them a. fitting welcome on their return. O. A. R- Picnic. Topeka Post G. A. R. and the W. R.

Charged That Purpose Is to Detract Attention. Ua?e the People Think About Other Officers. There is a crowd of politicians in this city who are circulating the report that the visit of the temperance committee to the office of Attorney General God ard, Wednesday, was, in reality, a movement in the interests of Porter S. Cook for sheriff, although the members of th committee were not fully ad vised s to its real import. J. A. Troutman, who is one of Sheriff Cook's friends is charged with having put up the job on the committee. It is claimed that Mr. Troutman devised the scheme for the purpose of getting the liq-.ior element in the city arrayed against the attorney general, forgetting for the time, their enmity to the sheriff, while he would walk to victory at the polls. This is a very pretty romance and does not seem impossible but the mem bers of the committee disclaim any knowledge of such a movement. It will be remembered that the members of the committee which called on Mr. Godard expressed the opinion that the city administration is in reality respon sible for the non-observance of the pro hibitory law by the jointists. In concluding the conference it was stated by the attorney general that he would take the matter up when he re turns to the city. It will be also re membered that it was suggested that the attorney general notify the city marshal, police judge and other ofTi cers charged with the responsibility of enforcing the law, that they are sub ject not only to criminal prosecution for permitting violations of the law but also by this neglect make themselves liable to a forfeiture of their offices. This latter clause was added to the old law by an amendment adopted dur ing the last session of the legislature. It is claimed also by the circulators of the story that the real purpose of the committee was to direct attention to the city government's laxity in the enforcement of the law and thereby shift the burden of responsibility from the county officers. It is argued that if the work of the committee created this new condition that Mr. Godard and not the bcrl rfliria's; the state and not the county administration would be held responsible and receive the abuse. Under these circumstances it is reasoned that Cook would have an easy victory at the polls. It is also claimed that James A. Troutman inspired the meeting. A call signed by J. W. Gleed, V. H. Cowles. Dr. S. G. Stewart. T. E. Stephens and Mr. Troutman was first circulated, re questing that a meeting be held in Mr. Gleed's office after which a call was to be made upon the attorney general. Mr. Troutman did not inspire the meeting and was not present. He was in Kansas City that day and one of Sheriff Cook's opponents says Trout man was smart enough to get up the meeting and then leave town. All of this is denied by Mr. Trout man. When asked about the rumor he said: "That's quite a scheme." "You don't seem to be denying it," said the reporter. "It's too absurd to deny," was the re ply as he turned away with a heavy laugh. Mr.Gleed pronounces the story a hoax and says the meeting was called in the interests of law and order and is not in any sense a political scheme. TOWN BURNED. Miners Apply the Torch to Un ion City. St. Louis, July 1. A special to the Post-Dispatch from Carbondale, 111., says: Union City, named from the fact that it is occupied by union miners, was the scene of a battle last night about mid night, and as a result the town is in ruins. The non-union negroes and oth er men employed by Brush at his mines near Fredonia having become crazed over the killing of the woman yesterday went to the camp which consists of mine houses and opened fire on them which was at once returned. The bat tle raged until the union miners ran from their homes and took refuge in a clump of timber, close to the village. The non-union men at once applied the torch to the houses and all were burn ed to the ground. After the men had destroyed all pro perty previously occupied by the union men. they moved on the woods and un til daylight the fusillade was kept up. No lives so far have been reported lost in the engagement at Union City. Un ion miners have been arriving at the Fcene of the trouble all night and the outcome must be a long drawn out bat tle. Both sides seem determined to win. ARMS AND TROOPS ASKED FOR. Springfield, III., July 1. Acting Gov ernor Worder today received a telegram from Sheriff Gray at Carterville saying he was powerless to control the rioters and asking that rifles and 200 troops be sent at once. The acting governor immediately ordered 150 rifles and am munition sent to Sheriff Gray and or dered him to summon and arm a posse. No troops will be ordered out until the sheriff's resources are exhausted. Sher iff Gray telegraphed that a coroner's inquest was held over the body of the negro woman killed yesterday and sev eral warrants issued. Sheriff Gray ar rested three men. but when on his way to the jail his carriage was surrounded by the men's sympathizers, the horses cut loose and the prisoners released. PRISONERS RESCUED. St. Louis, July 1. A special to the Post-Dispatch from Marion, 111., says: When Coroner James Armstrong con cluded the inquest at Cartersville over the negro woman, Anna Carr, who was killed by the mob that fired into the coach at Fredonia mines, James Hicks, Ed Richie, Eli Brooks, George Dutton, Mike Brown, negroes, and John Piano, an Italian, were held as guilty to the murder. These six were the only mem bers of the mob that could be recog nized by the witnesses. Sheriff Gray who was present at the inquest, arrest ed Hicks, Richie and Brooks, being un able to find the other three. Two of the prisoners were taken from him by a mob in the streets of Cartersville. He succeeded in getting away with Hicks and landed him in jail here late last night. A NIGHTlTTAGK. Filipino Makes a Rush on the American Lines. Repulsed With a Loss of One Killed and Four Wounded. Manila, July 1. 7:55 p. m. The rebels made a demonstration at San Fernando last evening. They took advantage of the darkness and ran to make a sally against the north line, seemingly only for the purpose of annoying the Amer icans as they failed to push their at tack. The Americans' loss was a private of the Seventeenth regiment killed and four wounded. The firing began at 10 and the rebels expended quantities of ammunition. All the troops hastened to entrench in ex pectation of a general attack. The Sev enteenth regiment, the Twelfth regi ment and the Iowa regiment partici pated in the engagement, but did not advance beyond the outposts. After an hour the Filipinos fired rockets, appar ently as a signal to cease firing, but there were scattering shots all night long which kept the Americans under arms. The enemy's loss was not discoverable but was probably small. The Americans were guided In their shooting only by flashes of the rebels' rifles. The United States transport Hancock sails for home tonight with 740 men of the Nebraska regiment and 250 men of the Utah artillery. About thirty of the Nebraskans and twenty-five of the Utahs remain here, a majority of them re-enlisting. The Nebraska troops have been living on board the ship in the harbor a week awaiting the Utah's readiness for de parture. The soldiers enjoyed the transport life immensely after months spent in the trenches. HO SURRENDER. Dr. Gill Locks Himself In His Office and DeSes His Successor. Dr. II. Z. Gill gave another exhibi tion of his disposition today. When Dr. W. B. Swan, the newly elected sec retary of the state board of health, went to take charge of the department this forenoon, Dr. Gill had the door3 locked. After a series of raps the doc tor opened the door the space of a foot and refused to admit Dr. Swan. Dr. Swan informed the doctor that he had come to take possession of the office whereupon Dr. Gill immediately informed him that he would not vacate. After some desultory conversation Dr. Swan retired. The executive council is considering the advisability of establishing a new office for Dr. Swan and ignoring Dr. Gill. However, the chances are that Dr. Swan will be compelled to go into court. He was accompanied by his lawyer. J. A. Troutman, today. Ciiirges have been preferred against Dr. Gill but the board of health can not hear them until the regular meeting in Septpmber. Dr. Gill figures that he can hold the office two months longer at least. Last night the stenographer in the office left some pieces of paper on the floor by her desk. It was the end which she had torn off an envelope con taining a letter received just as she was leaving the office. The paper flut tered to the floor. When" the janitor was cleaning up the office Dr. Gill re quired him to leave the bits of paper on the floor and this morning made the young lady pick them up. In a burst of confidence to a janitor last night Dr. Gill said: "I'll teach her not to permit papers to scatter over the floor of the office."

In falling he made several revolutions of the body and struck heavily upon the water. On the bridge near the place where the man took his fatal drop were found a brown coat and a black Fedora hat but they afforded no clew to his identits'. The body has not been recovered.

Disembarks From the Sfax and Is Whisked Away TO RENNES BY TRAIN. The Event Attracted LUtle Notice at Any Point Until the Captain Beached the Prison Gates. CROWD MAKES A RUSH, But Is Held Back by a Line of Soldiers. Husband and Wife Meet After Years of Separation. Eennes, France, July 1. Dreyfus ar rived here at 6 a. m., via L'Orient and Redon. The prisoner appeared to be in good health. He wore a blue suit, grey overcoat and soft felt hat. His hair is turning grey and his beard is of a red dish color.. He held himself very erect. The landing of Dreyfus at Quibernon was almost unnoticed. At 9 o'clock yes terday evening the guardship Caudan put to sea to meet the Sfax which had been sighted. The unusual bustle at-

Latest Portrait tracted many people to the harbor, but as they saw nothing the crowd dis persed. The only persons remaining were those who knew where the prison er was to be landed. The weather was most stormy and for a time it was feared it would be im possible to effect a landing. For hours the lights of the Caudan and Sfax were distinctly visible, as the vessels pitched and rolled. It seemed impossible to ap proach them in the rough sea. Oh the landing stage were M. Viguie, the chief of detectives; M. Hennion, a commissary of police and a force of gen d'armes and police inspectors. Fin ally at 1 a. m.. a cutter in charge of a naval officer, put off from the Caudan and went along side the Sfax. Then the boat rowed to the shore, where Dreyfus was landed at 1:30 a. m. A company of infantry was drawn up at the landing. Dreyfus who had been brought ashore in the boat, was immediately placed un der the guard of a captain of engineers and a sergeant and corporal of gen d'armes, who. formally handed the pris oner over to M. Viguie. The latter then entered a landau with Dreyfus and two detectives and started for the railway station. Dreyfus did not speak a worr. He personally opened the door of the com partment of the special train, consisting of three carriages and a baggage car, which was in waiting. As the train was about to start the local health officer refused to permit Dreyfus to leave on the ground that he had just arrived from the colonies. The matter was quickly arranged, however, and the train proceeded. Dreyfus was only visible for a moment to the reporters. The train stopped at Rabelais, three kilometers from Rennes. There the party alighted and quickly entered a carriage drawn by two splen did horses which immediately started at a sharp pace. It was 5:30 a. m. At the level crossing of the line a wagonette containing the prefects of the department of Ille-Kt-Vilaine, M. Viguie and three inspectors joined the party. An amusing incident occurred there. The woman in charge of the crossing, when told that if she watched she would irf-T' i i'iiii' mriTiilll in i n AW VI, 1 1 11 11 (l n see Dreyfus, asked: "Who is Dreyfus? I have never even heard of him." The drive from Rabelais to Rennes was without incident. Owing to the precautions the prisoner passed unno ticed in front of the arsenal. Workmen read from the posters but did not turn their heads, little suspecting who was passing. The clock was striking 6 when the crowd which had been waiting since midnight around the prison, the people beginning to think themselves the vic tims of a practical joke, saw a landau surrounded by gen d'armes beyond the station. Then they all cried with one voice: "There he is." At this cry the people started off to meet tie carriage and suddenly the t-oops and mounted gen d'armes hur ..ed madly forward, yelling and shouting as if accompanying a fire en gine instead of escorting a prisoner. The carriage was driven so fast that it covered the distance in a few minutes passing the watchers like a flash. It was a race for the prison gates be tween the gen d'armes with the captive and the spectators. The gates then opened suddenly and about twenty gen d'armes rushed out and barred the street, pressing back the crowd with rifle stocks. The transformation from tranquillity to a wild scene of gesticulation almost defies description. The suddenness of the movement stupefied everybody as much as, apparently it did the pris oner, whose face showed from the quickly passing carriage. But beyond the excited exclamations of surprise and curiosity there were no cries of any sort raised. Protected by his guards Dreyfus en tered the prison and was consigned to the care of the governor and taken to a cell on the second story. The rain fell heavily all night, the sun shone out brightly when Dreyfus entered the pris on. The governor of the prison sent Mad ame Dreyfus notice of the arrival of her husband and she immediately went to the governor and asked permission to see the prisoner. Leave being grant ed, the faithful wife entered the prison almost unobserved and was conducted f n Lasss of Dreyfus. to. cell No. S30, accompanied by Madame Ha ivet. The meeting between the long parted husband and wife can better be imag ined than described. Naturally, it was most touching. Both Dreyfus and his wife were deeply affected. They remained long clasped in each other's arms, tears and smiles intermingling with tender endearments. Madame Dreyfus issued from the prison in a state of collapse. She found her husband much aged with beard and hair whitened and body shrunken and stooped. She said Dreyfus knows noth ing of the events of the past two years. The weeping wife acknowledged the courtesy with which she had been treated. The gen d'arme, who was or dered to be present at the interview carried out his instructions and kept at a discreet distance. Up to noon there has been no sign of a pu'ulic demonstration. riusTpAY MORE. The Water Company "Eaiding" Its Customers. There Is consternation and indigna tion brewing along Kansas avenue among various stores where the water company has recently made a meter rate. One store which has been paying $20 a year for the use of water is now told that it is using five .dollars' worth of water in two weeks. The proprie tors think that an advance of from $20 a year to $130 for fifty-two weeks, is a pretty stiff advance. They figure that the meter charges them with a barrel an hour and they thought they were economical, too. Paving Appraisers. I. T. Lcckard, T. L. Ross and Jj. T. Cage have been appointed by Mayor Drew to appraise the property in the blocks between Fifth street and Sixth avenue on West street preparatory to paving the street. 1 i f I' 'A II IT ISTHEPLAGUE. No Longer Any Doubt That the Asiatic Scourge Has Beached the Shores of America at Frisco. Has Beached San Francisco on the Nippon Jlaru. DOCTOR FOUND GERMS In the Bodies of Two of the Tessel's Crew. Detention Camp to Be Estab lished on Angel Island For Volunteer Regiments From the Philippines. San Francisco, July 1. The arrival of the steamer Nippon Maru with the al leged cases of the Asiatic plague aboard has aroused the health authorities to the danger to be apprehended from the return of volunteer regiments from the Philippines. Arrangements are being made to establish on Angel island, a "camp of detention" fur such regiments as are founu to have been exposed to contagion. The camp will accommo date about 1,500 men. It is the intention to quarter there all troops coming on infected transports. The Nippon Maru will be towed fmrn the mail dock into the stream this morning. That was decided by the board of health, and the ship will be moved if every policeman in the city has to haul on the tow line. The phy sicians that guarded the city's health consider the vessel highly dangerous In view of the statement of Dr. Barbat, the bacteriologist, that the germs from, ine two sailors of the Nippon M i.ru ara those of the bubonic plague. The vessel's ngent has agree! ro fum iga' the ship in the nrean:. The mail doi. will be guarded by police who will ar-est and send to the pest mse any person who may leave the tte. .mer with out the permission of the oard of health. Any person wh.: mtv board the tfiip until she is released wi l be quar antined with the crew. Vo freight will be landed until further orders are made by the board of health. Di William F. Barbat said: "From the result of my bacteriologi cal work on the organs sent to me by the coroner, I am convinced that i:he Japanese who were drowned after leav ing the Nippon inaru suffered from bu bonic' plague. 1 experimented suffi ciently to determine that the plague was there and then, with the consent of the members of the board of health, I destroyed everything that came from the bodies." NEIGHBORS TO RESCUE. S. li. Yeoman Released From Jail by Aid of Old Friends. S. E. Yeoman, who is charged with the murder of David Jackson, was released from the county jail this morning under $15,000 bond, which was approved by Sheriff Cook. The bond is signed by J, R. Holmes, Wm. Jeffrey, W. A.Wood. C. L. Jeffrey, C. A. Davis, Robert Brash, H. K. Akers, K. J. Gamer and J. A. Holmes. All of them live at Klmdale, Chase county, and while the bond only calls for $15,000. they qualify for an ag gregate of $22,000. The bond was forwarded from Em poria today by John Madden, the well known Populist politician and lawyer. In a letter which accompanied the bond he stated that every man that had sign ed it was as good as gold, and there was still another man who was going to sign it, but whom he had not been able to see prior to forwarding the bond.

An Interesting Sketch of Kan sas People Holding Important Places Un der the Government. MANHATTAN'S LIST. Agricultural College Furnishes Many Representatiyes. A Source For Obtaining Men of Scientific Ability. The following special correspondence to the State Journal from Washington gives interesting news of Kansans hold ing government positions: Kansas may well feel proud of the fact that she has much honor and prominence bestowed upon her in man ner ot ner representation here in gov ernment employ. Another thing that gives prominence to the state, is the undisputed fact that the Manhattan Agricultural college is looked upon as source of obtaining some of the best scientific men as any like institution of the country produces for government service, as shown by the demand from that college in the past few years. In each case where appointments have Deen made from this source, as conclus ive evidence of their ability and worth they have eventually become chiefs of their special line of Work. So it has been in most every case of other Kan sans in their various positions. Through individual merit and close application they have forged to the front in a prom inent and praise-worthy manner. Prof. M. A. Carleton, formerly of Manhattan, who has for the past year been one of the agricultural explorers for the department of agriculture, re turned a few months ago from a tour of European Russia and Siberia. Prof. Carleton brought back large varieties of grain and plants from these foreign lands, which will be planted and ex perimented with at the department ex periment stations for introduction to this country. Prof. David G. Fairchild, a son of the former president of the agricultural col lege at Manhattan, is also a special agent for the importation and distri bution of foreign seeds, which may have some economic value to this country. He is now traveling in South America in the interest of this work, with a nice salary of $2,000 a year and expenses. Prof. Walter T. Swingle, generally regarded as one of the world's best authorities on vegetable pathology, '3 in the service of the department of ag riculture, and is among the agricultural explorers abroad. During the past year he traveled through the countries of Germany, France and Italy, and now is touring Algiers. Africa. He is a grad uate of Manhattan college, and is a son of Hon. J. F. Swingle, county com missioner of Riley county. Prof. C. C. Georgeson, who is the Alaska explorer of agriculture for the government, has gone back to Alaska. His wife and three children are with him this time. He returned from Alas ka last December to prepare his report, which is printed by orders of congress as a public document. Prof. Georgeson has his headquarters at Sitka, where he established an experiment station last year and raised a remarkable crop of corn, wheat, rye, barley, potatoes, etc. This year he will establish two sub stations, one at Kenai, on Cook Inlet, and the other at iladiak, where he win 1 make more extensive agricultural ex periments in that new and undeveloped country. He was professor of agricul ture at the Manhattan college from 1S91 to 1897, when he resigned to accept his present position. Mr. E. P. Hanna of Salina, occupies the position of chief clerk of the judge advocate general's office in the navy de partment, and his work is highly satis factory. Col. S. R. Burch of Olathe Is chief clerk of the bureau of animal industry of the department of agriculture. Col. Burch's position is one of the greatest importance and responsibility, as this bureau is the largest part of the de partment. Besides supervising the gen eral business of his office, he has charge of the bureau's finances, which amount to annual appropriations of from $600, OO'' to $800,000. He receives a salary of $2,000 a year and is a very prominent official in government circles. Mr. Lewis W. Call, formerly of Man hattan, was for several years the only law clerk in the office of the Judge ad vocate of the army, but about two years ago Was promoted to chief clerk of that office. He was a graduate of the agri cultural college of Manhattan In 1X83, and has been in government employ ever since. Mr. I. W. Stone of Lawrence is hold ing a position In the department of ag riculture as a statistician, at a salary of $1,400 a year, and is an expert on the compilation of railroad figures. Mr. George F. Thompson, formerly editor and proprietor of the Manhattan Nationalist, holds the responsible posi tion of chief editor of the bureau of an imal industry in the department of agri culture. He edits a vast number of con gressional documents whieh annually emanate from that bureau and is con sidered the bes,t authority on indexing in government employ. His salary is $1,800. Outside of office hours he is de voting considerable time in writing on scientific subjects for leading magazines and metropolitan dailies. Mr. S. W. Norton of Winfield. is em ployed as a clerk in the general land office at a salary of $1,400, to w hich he was promoted some months since. Mr. L. W. Thavis, formerly a news paper correspondent at Olathe for many years, has held a good position as clerk in the department of agriculture dur ing the past two years. In addition to liis duties at the department he is doing newspaper work outside of office hours. He has been appointed correspondent to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat and the Chicago Inter-Ocean and writes upon agricultural economics and scientific subjects. Mr. Frederick P. Metzger. formerly a newspaper man at Kiowa, holds the re sponsible position of chief clerk of the general land office at a splendid salary. He is a popular official and has won de serving laurels in his tenure of ofllce. Mr. Ben Allen of Manhattan, is chief c.f a division in the treasury depart ment. His service of eighteen or twen ty years makes him a competent officer. Mr. Herbert Noteman of Olathe is one of the oldest and foremost clerks in the office of commissary general of sub sistence, war department. His services are made invaluable by long term of office in his present position, and his chances for a splendid promotion are most favorable. Several months ago he refused the position of chief clerk to the commissary general of subsistence es tablished in Cuba, which would have given him a much advanced salary. Mr. Will R. Spillman, son of Judge R. B. Spillman of Manhattan, has been exceedingly fortunate since entering government service. About eighteen months ago he entered the navy depart ment service at $900. Shortly afterward he was promoted to $1,000. Being an ex pert stenographer and typewriter he was soon transferred to the White House under Secretary Porter. Last June he was transferred to the office of Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow and now receives $1,200. Mr. O. M-. Jackson of Olathe. ranks among the efficient clerks in the.war department, which postion he has held for many years. Mr. Henry A. Lyon, formerly of Man hattan, is employed in the government printing office as a proof reader. This position brings him a salary of $1,600 a year. Mr. Wm. S. Canatsey of Iola is an as sistant in the division of entomology in the department of agriculture. His long time of service in various positions and clever treatment has won him a popular place in the department with every one. Mr. Heslet of Topeka, Is one of the chief proof readers in the government printing office. Mr. C. F. Marlatt of Manhattan Is as sistant of the division of entomology, department of agriculture and draws a salary of $1,800 per annum. An honor bestowed upon a Kansas man was the appointment of Mr. Frank D. Brooks of Lawrence to the private secretaryship of the United States con sulate at Smyrna. Mr. Brooks has been a resident of Lawrence since 1867, and has held numerous city and county elec tive offices with honor to himself and Douglas county. In going to his station he sailed from New York to Liverpool, thence to Antwerp, Holland. From there through Belgium, Germany, Switzer land and Austria, thence to Venice, where he took a steamer down the Ad riatic sea, touching at various points in Italy. After leaving Italy he went to Greece and then to Athens, where he stopped and took a steamer at Constan tinople, going through the famous Dar danelles on the Asiatic shore. Here is said to be the most beautiful and pic turesque country in the world. Smyrna is the cradle of humanity and is located on the far gulf of the Aegean sea, west of Asia Minor. This is a Turkish prov ince and has a population of 210,000 peo ple. The American settlement there is represented by about 100 families. L. W. THAVIS. .Washington, D. C. TOWN OUT OF WATER.

This city Is without any fire protection today and all the manufacturing enterprises have shut down on account of the burning of the pumping station of the city wa terworks Thursday night. The origin of the fire Is not known. The enginee was away at the time, and returned to find the building in flames. The supply of water in the tower was exhausted by 10 o'clock this morning. A majority of the people of the town depend on the waterworks for domestic use. Work men have been busy all day trying to get the pumps repaired and in working order, but they have not succeeded in doing so, and it may be several days before they do succeed, as the fire did considerable damage.

IS THISJMID Serious Charges Made Against a Fraternal Society. 0 facers of Ancient Order of Pyramids Accused. ALL ARE TOPEKA MEN. They Disclaim any Knowledge of the Trouble. Salina Lodge Surrenders Its Charter and Quits. Claim One Family lias Gobbled Nearly All Fat Positions. Salina, Kan., July 1 The Salina Council of the Ancient Order of Pyra mids.a fraternal insurance organization, has voted to surrender its charter. This action was taken, when an investigating committee, appointed to examine the workings of the grand lodge, made its report. The committee stated that it had found the affairs of the order in very bad condition and accused the grand officers of gross irregularities. Appended to the committee's report was the minority report of the last grand lodge auditing committee, which stated that $5,000 policies had been is sued to grand lodge officers andmem bers of their families, when only $2,000 policies can be issued according to the constitution; that no dues had ever been paid on these $5,000 policies; that the grand scribe had made a false re port to the insurance commissioner of Illinois as to the expense of maintain ing the order; that the books show $17, 000 due officers for salaries, when the officers publicly claim that the organiza tion is solvent and do not give this liability In their report. The minority report then says: "Possibly you do not know it, but it is a fact that a banker who receives money on deposit after he is aware of the insolvency of his bank is sent to the penitentiary for grand larceny." The investigating committee further reported that the grand lodge charter revealed the startling information that the grand officers serve for life, can vote themselves whatever salary they please, have full control of everything and pass on all laws with power to nullify. The Ancient Order of Pyramids is chartered under the laws of Missouri. Its headquarters are supposed to be at Springfield, Mo., but all the officers live at Topeka, Kan. The founder of the order is E. S. McClintock, who is su preme manager; C. S. McClintock, his son, is royal medical director; F. P. Long, nephew of E. S. McClintock, is royal scribe. This gives the McClintock faral'y the majority of the five members of the executive council. In regard to the above charge of fraud and insolvency, which the Salina lodge of the Ancient Order of Pyramids makes against the head officers of this asso ciation, most of whom live In Topeka; the head officers have very little to say except to dTiy the accusation. A reporter for the State Journal call ed upon the head officers and was ush ered into the presence of a committee composed of Mrs. E. S. McClintock, royal prophet; Dr. C. S. McClintock, medical director; Mr. T). R. Hite and Mr. D. L. Shelton, members of the committee on laws. When shown the dispatch, these gentlemen seemed very much surprised that such a report should get out and all were unanimous in declaring that it was untrue in every particular. They disclaimed any knowl edge of such an existing state of af fairs and even asserted that no notice had been received from the Salina lodge nor had their Charter been returned. The committee authorized Mr. E. S. McClintock, royal prophet of the order, to give out the following statement: "In regard to the matter of the issuing of certificates in the sum of $5,000 It is true so far as the grand lodge officers are concerned, but in regard to their not paying their assessments, I want to say that we pay our assessments just the same as any other members. At the time of issuing the certificates in the sum of $5 000, any one either officer or member could insure for that amount. Since then, at our meeting In Kansas City in 1S1'7, the by-laws have been amended prohibiting the issuing of cer tificates for more than $2,000. "In regard to the reports and state ments which the order has filed with the Insurance department of the states in which the order is doing business, I wish to say that they are true. There is no truth in the report that we have filed false statements. It is not true that the books of the order show any liability not shown in statements made to the various insurance departments. The books are open to inspection at any time and are examined once a month by the finance committee, composed of Mr. A. K. Rodgers, Dr. J. E. Minney and Dr. M. R. Mitchell. Their report together with vouchers, etc., were ap proved by the convention held in Kan sas City. "The officers are at a loss to under stand the report and the lodge has not surrendered their charter. The last time that we beard from Salina was in regard to a claim for disability." When asked what probable action would be taken in regard to the charges of the Salina lodge, Mr. McClintock said. "We will take no notice of it whatever unless the lodge surrenders its charter. I think that I know w here the trouble lavs. We had a man in the Salina j lodge who was a member of the finance committee, but be did not attend to his lodge work nor show any interest in the lodge, so I removed him and appointed another man in his place. I think that it is for this act that these charges have been made against the order." NOT GAMBLING. Slot Machine Which Contains STo Blanks Is Approved by Court. Judge Hazen ruled against the Good Citizens Friday w hen he announced that Chumos and Charowhas had not vio lated the injunction against their run ning slot machines when they operated machines which paid a cigar for every nickel put in. Judge Hazen said: "The attempt to show that these men violated the in junction of the court seemed to me so trivial that I simply swept it away and refused to have anything to do with it. This court has more Important things to attend to than that. Of course, one can conceive of a slot machine being played in a similar way to this, and still be gambling pure and simple. This court has not yet been called upon to mark out the line of distinction between gambling and that which Is not gam bling when operated in this way."

Clarence Scott, Who Lives Near the City, Stricken. Clarence Scott, sexton of Rochester cemetery, is sick at the home of his father, Andrew Scott, who lives six miles north of Topeka, with a well de veloped case of smallpox. He was taken sick on Thursday and Mrs. Dr. Swift or North Topeka, was summoned. Dr. Swift was not certain in her diagnosis of the case and on Friday requested Dr. C. F. Menninger to accompany her. Dr. Menninger saw Mr. Scott at a private house near the cemetery where he was rooming. The house is about three miles from town and as the jurisdiction of the city phy sician includes the country within five miles of the city. Dr. Menninger notified City Physician Peers. Dr. Peers and Dr. Menninger went this morning to the house where Scott was staying when he was taken sick and found that on Friday night he had been taken to the home of his father, three miles further north. The two physicians drove to the house and after looking at Scott pronounced the disease smallpox. As the young man had been removed to a point outside the jurisdiction of the city physician Dr. Peers notified County Physician Ellinger, who will take im mediate steps to have the case properly Quarantined. Clarence Scott is about 25 years old and has been in charge of Rochester cemetery for some time. In answers to the physicians' questions be said that he had not been away from the city and had no idea as to where he contracted the disease. -Scott digs tjhe graves at the cemetery and It may be that he contracted the disease from an infected corpse. It is not known that any person, who died from smallpox, has been buried in the cemetery or in the potter's field, but it is very likely that in his work Scott has either filled the grave of a person who died of smallpox or in digging the graves in the potter's field has dug too close to some grave where a smallpox body was buried. In digging a grave so close to another that the old one was molested Scott may have unmeaningly exposed a body infected by the disease and whether the body had been buried a month or a year or two would make no difference In the spreading of the dis ease. The law requires that the physician in attendance upon all persons who die shall file a certificate of death with the board of health but no death from smallpox has been reported. The mat ter will be thoroughly Investigated by both the county and city physician to determine whether some physician has made a false report or neglected to make any report at all. Before the sick man was removed to his home the family, with the exception of a sister who does the cooking and the father, left the house. Dr. Ellinger says there is no danger that the family in the house where the young man was taken sick will contract the disease as it was then in the first stage and con sequently not liable to spread. "I shall see the county commissioner" at once and make arrangements for a thorough quarantine," said Dr.EIlinger. "As the house is in the country it will only be necessary to have guards there. One man should be kept there all the time and I shall have two men to watch day and night. I think there is no danger of the disease spreading on account of the isolation of the case. It is very difficult to tell where the young man contracted the disease. He says he has not been away and it would seem that he has been exposed to a body infected with smallpox. I have not seen the case but Dr. Peers report ed to me that he did not know what it could be unless it was smallpox and I shall go ahead and quarantine the case." Dr. Peers said: "I was called to go with Dr. Menninger and see the case as it was within three miles of the city but when we arrived at the house found that the young man had been removed to his father's house, which is six miles from town. I have not made an official diagnosis as the case comes under the supervision of the county physician and it is not my business to do so. I think there Is no danger of the disease spread ing." COMING AT LAST. Reduced Telephone Rates Offer ed For Prirate Residences. The Bell Telephone company has made a cut of $12 per year In the rate for telephones in privates residences in this city and in view of the fact that a new telephone company is soon to be gin constructing a new line the com pany now here has Solicitors at work pushing the introduction of residence phones at the new rate, $18 per year. The old rate is $30. Although the management of the company admits that it has been pos sible to make this rate on telephones in private residences, no effort has pre viously been made to secure patronage at the rate of $18 per year. To secure the new rate of $1.50 per month in residences, it is necessary for the subscriber to be attached to a line with four phones. Under the old rate four phones yielded a revenue of $10 per month; under the new arrangement they bring $6. Asked how this arrange ment, worked, Manager Geo. J. Bayless Laundry to TOPEKA STEAM LAUH0 J. W. HARDT, 625 Jackson St of the Bell company in this city si today: "We now have an arrangement so ranged that four phones can be plac on one line and the mechanism is su that when the call is made for one the phones, the bells on the others not ring. This is a great improveraf over the old system because when mt than one phone was attached to a li and a call was made, all of the bel would ring." Asked if this instrument had bee available for use long, Mr. Baylesf said: "We have had it for some time bu me bu I Ye now I it suc-f have never before pushed it. W hope to succeed in introducing cessfully in Topeka." The people who subscribed for new ieiepiiunt?5 in 11113 city iiuiii a nrw pany did so with almost no exception not that any one wanted two systems but because they believed the rates of the old company were exorbitant. The saw no way of relief except through u new company. The Missouri and Kansas company's rates have been $30 for residences: $36 for business houses. A new company says a good profit can be made at much lower rates and offers residence tele phones for $18 and business telephones for $24. There is the whole secret. The rates of the existing company are from 50 to 66 per cent higher than these proposed rates by a new company. Nobody wants to be bothered with r two telephones but people will submit to much annoyance rather than be "held up." The general feeling in Topeka Is that the people have been "held up" on tele phone rates. 3 When there were two systems here, f Topeka had reasonable rates. The mo- k' ment opposition ceased up went rates The State Journal has been asked to print some interviews from business V men on the subject of two telephone systems. Interviews are being pirinted right along in various towns where the Missouri and Kansas Telephone com- pany is threatened with opposition and i: the burden of the interviews is that two systems are a nuisance. Of course they are. This papers could interview! about every business man in the citj, and get the same kind of talk. But that isn't the point. The rates are' too high. The telephone company knows. it and is now canvassing for $18.00 sub- I scribers and offering a service similar t to that for w-hich it has charged $30. j If the present company had put its rates down some months ago, no en- J couragement would have been offeret 1 a new concern. That is if they had put down rates with the agreement that they would stay down and on top of that had not permitted their service to degenerate and annoy their patrons by delays in connections which were ex asperating'. The telephone business is essentially monopolistic, but the only way one company can get the business of Topeka is with the best service at the lowest rates. cvDnciTinu norijc LAruoi 1 iuii ur tiio.

THE CITY'S BONDS. A Big Demand For Them. Sharp Competition. The city will shortly issue about $210, 000 in bonds. About $150,000 is for pav ing purposes on which the Interest is five per cent. The auditorium bonds to the amount of $60,000 will draw four percent. The former are paid off in ten annual in stallmentsthe latter run for thirty years and are thus regarded as more satisfactory for long time Investments. The law permits the paving bonds to draw six per cent interest, but Mayor Drew ordered the bonds printed to bear five per cent and he already has offers to take them at par. A number of bond buyers are now here from the east. The council will consider the bids next Monday evening. From the open letters received it is shown Topeka city bonds have a fine j standing. It is expected that the new securities will be sold on a most satis factory basis. Not Obstructionists. j The impression prevails among sorf' of our citizens, as we had signed petition with others against the sale! the citv building for 40,ooo; tnat were against the building of an auditor ium. This is a mistake and places 1 in the wrong light. We did believe was to the best interest of the city keep the property, rather than sell at so low a price. That with the $60.0(X) bonds voted would have purchased a site and built the city an auditorium that would have met the present de mands. Now that the city has sold t!--.' property at a fair price we believe t site should be selected at once and t building pushed as rapidly as possibi'w Wr. S. KALE. W. S. FURMAN.

Or a Train Composed of Sixty Loaded Cars Easily, From Argentine Into Topeka Double Header Work. The new tandem compound engine No. 907, which was turned out of the Santa Fe shops a short time ago, has broken the record for heavy hauling. The engine I was built as an experiment and was put into the mountain service, where the grades are steep ana the loads extra heavy. It was hoped that these kind of engines would be capable of doing the work of the usual double-headers which are generally run on that part of the system, and If today's performance Is any criterion the engines will meet all ex pectations. The 997, without extra exertion, came into Topeka today from Argentine pull ing a load of 1.9U0 tons, composed o. jt) cars, which is the heaviest load ever pulled by one engine in Kansas. The pulling power of these new compound en gines is an unknown quantity and with out a doubt Is capable of a greater load than was brought in today. Anotner en gine identical in every respect to .o. tH7 is Xo. yas. which is in the paint shops, and will be readv for service in a few davs. The railroad men are anxious for a demonstration of the maximum power of these engines. NEW SANTA FE TRAIN. Will Be Put on From Blackwell to "Wichita. Wichita, July 1 The Santa Fe is pushing the work on its Blackwell ex tension from Eraman, O. T., south as rapidlv as possible. When the line is completed to Blackwell an important change will be made in Wichita's train service. People will go to Caldwell and points from Wellington south on a freight. As soon as Blackwell is reached, a morning passenger train will be put on. It will start at Blackwell early in the morning and run as far north as Wich ita, reaching that point ahead of the through Clalveston train north-bound. In the evening it will return, leaving Wichita after the arrival of the south bound Galveston train and run through to Blackwell. This train will not carry anv freight. For the freight traffic, a regular freight train will leave Blackwell in the morning, following the passenger, and run through to Augusta, making con nection at Mulvane with, the through north-bound freight. It will return in the evening to Blackwell. These trains will handle the freight business that is now done by the morning and evening trains now running between .Wellington and Augusta. ARGENTINE R. K- Y. M. C. A. Part That the Santa Fe Has Taken In Its Construction and Maintenance. The Santa Fe railroad laid the foun dation a short time ago for something that will repay it twenty fold in the years to come. ISTot exactly in money will it be paid back but In the good will of its employes and the genuine in creased labor inspired by the knowledge that they are working for a company which not only pays them well for their services but appreciates their services. In the establishing of the Railroad Young Men's Christian Association at Argentine, the Santa Ke has taken the initial step in establishing a home for the welfare and instruction of its em ployes, and without a doubt the R. R. Y. M. C. A. will in a short time become a national institution, with homes in every town of any size through which the railroad passes. Already arrange ments are made for two in Texas and others are under consideration. Nut many months ago, the Santa Fe. realizing the great benefit to be derived from such an institution, made a pro position to its employes at Argentine and vicinity that for every dollar that they would raise for this purpose, that the company would give three dollars. In a short time the employes had se cured $2,500 and adding this amount to the company's promised share, would give them $10,000 with which to erect their building and furnish it. The com pany did even more, they donated a most desirable piece of land on which to place the building. The building is now completed, fur nished and opened to the use of its members. The bu'Iing is substantially built and is finished throughout in hard wood. There are reading rooms in which are many of the daily papers, maga zine... periodicals and books which are both interesting and instructive. The parlor is nicely furnished and aJfords a place in which to talk and spend their leisure hours. The smoking room is as the name implies, a place to enjoy this comfort of life. A hospital room, which in case of accident is a necessity, sav ing much time and inconvenience. A bowling alley and gymnasium where exercise and recreation may be had. A lecture hall where the members may assemble to witness demonstrations in mechanical arts, etc. Bath rooms sup plied with hot and cold water for both tub and shower haths. Sleeping rooms, fourteen in number, each containing a brass trimmed iron bed, one chair and a table. All this is given to the mem bers. Now to illustrate: An engineer comes in from his run tired and begrimmed with grease and dirt. He belongs to the R. R. Y. M. C. A. and can go to the rooms, take a bath, read the paper and go to bed and get a good night's rest in a clean bed. After an employe be comes a member there is no additional charge for any privilege but for lodging and for this a charge of only 10 cents per bed per night is made, and this is made to cover the cost of laundry pur poses. In addition to all that the Santa Fe has already done towards establishing this home, it promises to do even more, and if for any year the running expenses exceed the money received, the com- iniiy win maKe up tne dencit. SANTA FE EMPLOYEES. Will Picnic at Tecumseh July 4th The Programme. The employes of the Santa Fe tin shop WL, five a Picnic on the Fourth of July which will probablv eclipse anv other pic nic to be riven this season bv the rail road employes. The committee on ar rangements, with Henry Ruple as chair man and Kd Kerwick as master of cere monies, has been at work for the past 10 days getting everything in good shape for the occasion. About 30 tinners with their wives and sweethearts expect to attend the picnic, which will be held in a grove near Te cumseh. Besides enjoying a good, old fashioned picnic, several unique fea-tures have, been arranged for which will pleas antly pass away the time. One of the members of the committee today gave out the following features which have already been arranged: There will be a cake walk In which Rob Barnet. Louie JDutcher and Frank Benson will contest. The winner will take the cake. Will Powell, who claims to he a fencer of considerable ability, has issued a chal lenge to meet all comers and he will prob ably have a lively time, as four or five have already signified their intention of accommodating him. There will be running jumps, high jums, broad jumps, all kinds of jumps, while for those who do not care to jump an orchestra has been secured to furnish music for dancing. As to eatables, there will be an abund ance of good things to eat and dinner will be served at regular and irregular inter vals. After dinner will take place the most interesting feature of the picnic. Amos Beeier wiil wrestle with W!ll Wilson. This will probably be the best thing on the programme. A base ball game between picked nines will finK-h the day's sports, and the picnio party will return by moonlight. INTERCHANGEABLE MILEAGE. New- Form of Ticket Arranged Which Will Meet All Requirements. Up to the present time there has been no interchangeable mileage tickets sold, west of St. Louis. Several attempts have been made to provide a suitable interchangeable mileage ticket which would fulfill all requirements but for various reasons a satisfactory agree ment could never be reached by the roads desiring this form of transporta tion. At a meeting of the passenger asso ciation at St. Louis a short time ago, a new form of interchangeable mileage ticket was arranged which will fully meet all necessary requirements and which will be of much convenience to traveling men and people in general who do any great amount of traveling. This new system will be known as the interchangeable mileage credit system, and will be worked as follows: A per son who wishes to take advantage of this system, will purchase a credential, which is merely a certificate numbered, with name, description, etc., of the pur chaser and this must be shown at the purchase of all tickets. This creden tial, good for one year from the date of purchase, will be on sale by all local agents and will cost one dollar. Regu lar one way tickets are to be pur chased at full tariff rates and credit checks will be given by the ticket agent at the time of purchase. Now provid ed that 2,000 miles or more are travel ed during the yearly limit, then the cre dential and all credit checks are to be forwarded to the joint agents and a re bate will be given of the difference of full fare and two and one-half centa per mile. This system is effective on nearly all railroads in the states of Kansas, Mis souri, Nebraska. Colorado, Texas, Lou isiana, Arkansas, Indian and Oklahoma Territories. Roads will place these tickets on sale July 13, at which time the interchangeable mileage system be comes effective. PARK FOR NORTONVILLE. Citizens and Santa Fe Company Unite In Its Building. Nortonville. July 1 The Santa Fe and the citizens of this town are jointly making a fine little park of a. couple of acres. The Santa Fe furnishes the land and the citizens are doing the work.

Deposits of Jack Found In Large Quantities In the Flint Hills of Chase County Create Excitement. RISE IX LAND VALUES. The Zinc Ore Located East of Hatfield Green. Emporia Parties Are Leasing Up the Lands. Cottonwood Falls, July 1. Great ex citement has been aroused in this town and county by the discovery of jack ore, from which zinc is made in paying quantities in the flint hills on Camp creek, four miles east of Matfield Green. The ore is of a brownish color re sembling flint rock only much softer and is pronounced by experts as the real article. Mr. Peck, agent for the starch, syndi cate lands of Atchison was In town to day with samples of the ore showing it to a few friends. The matter was In tended to have been kept a secret but it leaked out somehow. Certain Emporia parties for three weeks have been trying to secure leases on all the land in that section and have secured several. Thomas Ryan, treas urer of Lyon county, is interested in the matter, but he prefers to purchase the land outright. The country where the jack has been discovered is large ly in a vast cattle pasture of many thousand acres. Hence the haste to se cure the leases. A Cottonwood Falls man yesterday was made a large offer by the starch syndicate for a forty he had in the vicinity but refused to sell, although for the past five years he has offered the land for $100. The Missouri Pacific has a corps of surveyors locating a line from Madison up that direction. It is reported here today that the Santa Fe has had an expert in the ter ritory for three days examining into the find and securing specimens for assay. There will undoubtedly be a great rush to prospect and secure leases and much disappointment at the sagacious move of the Emporia contingent. MTJKDER. AT M'FARLAND.

Since January 1 the exports of gold from this country have- amounted to $21,833,964; the imports have been $7, 764.598; leaving net exports of some thing over 112,000,000. If the government would only Get about laying a cable to Manila it might yet save a considerable amount in tele graphic tolls on war messages and re ports of officers in the field. Perhaps the failure of Gov. Plngree's plan for municipal ownership of De troit street railways made him feel desperate and while in that frame of mind he rushed out and formed an al liance with Alger. The Buffalo Times thinks that it was a pity that Governor Roosevelt's ad dress at Las Vegas should have been marred "'with his nonsense about ever hauling down the flag." The governor knows what is popular and perhaps he studigg to please. Syracuse, N. Y., Herald: Municipal ownership of the electric plant is said to have gained favor with the repre sentatives of the city who are making a trip of investigation, and it is probable that the proposition will be furthered fcy their report to the common council. General Leonard Wood Is receiving a salary of $5,500 a year. Asked whether he would accept the offer of the presi dency of the Washington street railroad system at $30,000, he replied: "I will not leave the military service of the United States so long as my services are wanted, not for $j0,000 a year or twice that amount. Money is not the only thing in this world." The attorney general of Colorado has decided that there is no authority for a woman changing her name at marriage, or any other time. The case in point was that of a woman notary public who contracted a marriage. She then asked the attoney general what name she ehould sign officially, and he answered that she should still sign her maiden name, which, was her proper designation. The first lord of the treasury in the British government has received a peti tion asking for government aid to build a tunnel under the sea between England end Ireland. The proposed route would make the tunnel 35 miles long, 25 miles under the sea and 10 miles of land ap proaches. The estimated cost is $30,000. 000. One of the reasons assigned for this stupendous work is that it will greatly shorten the time of travel between the United States and London, as the At lantic steamers can receive and dis charge passengers at Galway and Lough Foyle instead of Southampton and Liverpool. THE EDISON AUTOMOBILE. Thomas A. Edison, If he has been cor rectly quoted, will soon have an auto mobile ready for use which will eclipse all other vehicles of that class. "The French, naphtha machines will not be In the same class with mine," he is ,uoted as saying, "and the inventors v ill hang their heads with disgust when the one which is now being completed Is placed beside those of the French make. The mechanism of my machine Is far more practical; it is greatly con densed; the clumsy appearance will be done away T.-ith and the whole affair Will be lighter." Mr. Edison is said to have added that no experience will be necessary to run the vehicle, that it will travel at the rate of between twelve and fourteen miles an hour, and that the motive power will be sufficient to. run 150 miles "without recharging the battery. More over, Mr. Edison's automobile will be comparatively cheap. A one-seat buggy will be sold for between three and four hundred dollars. GLOBE SIGHTS From the Atchison Globe. The greatest objection to nearly ev ry hero, is his fool wife. Statistics will show that no success ful business man ever wore long curls after he put on pants. Mothers, take notice. At the circus last night, an ugly wo man came out, and the women in the audience started the story that she was ma.n. A blind woman was begging on. the Streets today.and the young men talked f hiring her to remain in town, and become a chaperon. A recent social affair proved a flat tailure because the only Dexsoa all ESiLVS Z?VVrst 10 arriv: What the women call one of the "Ironies of fate" is a big generous porch to a man's house, and no girls in the family to spoon on it. One thing an 18 year old girl will not believe, and that is that her mother was just as good looking at the same age. As a matter of fact, the chances are even that she was better looking. A woman who weeps is not a pleasing object, but it must be consoling to some husbands to know that women who are addicted to the tear-shedding habit never throw flatirons. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. Even the peaceful infant is often up in arms. Spinsters should rejoice when It rains cats and dogs. Paradoxical as It may seem, well wa ter often makes people ill. A man Isn't necessarily in the swim because he drinks like a fish. One can acquire an elastic tread by constantly wearing rubber shoes. Some women take pains with their personal appearance, while others srive them. Every time a genius invents a good thing some other genius makes a for tune out of it. A soft answer may turn away wrath, but it doesn't turn away people who ask soft questions. The political party that comes down with the most "dust" usually makes a "clean sweep" at the polls. We are told that man is 90 per cent water. That is probably why he finds it so much easier to go down hill than to climb. Genius is a peculiar form of insanity that causes a man to toil incessantly without knowing whether he will get $.00 or $100 for his labor. Marriage is responsible for the great est human happiness also, for the greatest human misery. With all the gold we are sending abroad just now we are sending people who know how to distribute it. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. From the New Tork Press. Charity begins at home, and it ends at the back door. Because marriage comes of love, love doesn't come of marriage. There are few of us who are not brave' enough to bear up under the mis fortunes of others. A man seldom fails to do a good deed for another if he sees more in it for himself than for the other. What a woman can't understand is how she understands to make a fool of a man without understanding why. JAYKAWKER JOTS. A Solomon boy has been admitted to the hospital corps of the Brooklyn navy yard, and left for there last week. Billy Morgan places his O.

If it can can Kansas corn and other things it can. Mack Stevenson, an amateur sports man of Salina, won highest honors at a big gun shoot at Abilene this week. He made 111 points out of a possible 130. Hutchinson girls are so anxious for leap year privileges that they recently got up a picnic, hired rigs -single ones took their young men, and footed all the bills. This is the time of year that the coun try school teachers hieth himself, or of tener herself over the country in search of a better job than the one toe or she held down last year. Central Kansas papers are complain ing of a swindler who is fleecing real estate agents. A man who can fleece a Kansas real estate agent must be a forty-third degree swindler. A Hutchinson woman will have a painting at the Omaha show this sum mer along with those of the great mas ters. Kansas is coming right to the front in art as well as in some other lines. Already the farmers are bringing prize corn stalks into every town in Kansas and tying them up in front of the postoffice or in the local newspaper office, and then daring everybody to beat it. A photographer taking pictures for Collier's Weekly visited MePherson this week and "shot" all the dilapidated buildings there, and now the town is wondering why he didn't "take" some of its good buildings too. No matter if the wheat was "all kill ed by the cold weather" last winter, the demand for harvest hands shows no decrease from that of other years. But then, Kansas wheat has a habit of be ing killed off and resurrected several times during the season. The first man to draw the festive quarter from the Kansas pocket with a lecture on the Philippines is a Montana man. Hasn't Kansas any home talent fur this purpose? If it hasn't now, there will be plenty when the Twentieth comes marching home. "A Filipino come up to me," writes home a Kansas volunteer, "and made i himself known as a Mason. He invited me to visit San Geronimo lodge No. 18. You run across Masons in all countries and among all nationalities. This is one of its virtues. Aguinaldo is a Mas on, I understand." J. Mack Love gives it as his profes sional opinion that the waters at Geuda Springs are good for everything on earth except to drink, but there are those who might insinuate that Mr. Love, being a Democrat, is not compe tent to give an expert opinion on water as a beverage. Warren Swayze, a Dickinson county boy, got an idea that he was a natural born snake charmer, because bull snakes and garter snakes had never killed him. He tried his charms on a rattler and the result was that the doctors had hard work saving his life. He has given up snake charming as a profession. A few grains of prehistoric corn from Egypt were planted down at Medicine Lodge this spring and it is not only growing, but is giving indications of a good yield. If a mummy of one of the Pharoahs were planted in Kansas and the Kansas sunshine and Kansas ozone were given a chance at it, it would pro duce another Egptian dynasty in a single season. There was a big gathering of Masons down at Cottonwood Falls the other day. The debt on the Masonic temple was paid, and the mortgage was burned with appropriate ceremonies. After th s there was a "spread," and among the good things consumed were 42 cakes, 125 roasts, 36 ox tongues, 84 chickens and there were six courses to the affair. Of course "a good time was toad." The door bell of a doctor's house In the west part of town ran? furiously. The physician jumped out of bed, lit the gas and glanced at the clock. It was three m the morning. He fell over a chair on his way to the front door and swore a little. The front door lock did not work as well as it might antl while he was trying to un lock it the bell kept jingling. Finally he got it open. There was a messenger. "You are wanted at No. T street," said the boy. "What's the matter?" asked the doc tor as he rubbed his eyes. "I diuino." said the boy. The doctor dressed hurriedly, grabbed his medicine case and started for the house. As he approached toe saw a man on the porch. "Have you any sweet oil?" shouted the man as the doctor turned in the front gate. "Yes." "Good," said the man and be drew a sigh of relief. "Come in." The doctor followed the man inside. "There it is," said the man. "Where?" asked the doctor. "There." "Well, what is it?" "The watch." "What do I want of the watch." "It won't run." "Well, I'm not a jeweler." "But you have some sweet oil. I have to take my train out in a half hour and IS. Mi XT I IV 9 that watch must run. All it needs is a little sweet oil." "Well, I'll said the doctor, but he oiled the watch and sent in a. bill for $5.00. He was a prisoner in the city jail and she a prisoner in the county jail, but "love laughs at locksmiths" and a quiet summer flirtation was carried on between the two and between the bars. He signed his name Jack and called her Rosa. He was serving 100 days for selling intoxicating liquors and she was awaiting trial for burglary. He was a trusty around the city jail and spent a good part of his time in the jail yard lookingatacell window in thecounty jail and in turn she spent a great deal of time in front of the iron grating of her cell. He Would lean against a telerhone pole and raze upward by the hour and she would lean against the window casement and lookdown toward the tele phone pole by the hour. The distance from the telephone pole to the window is over 100 feet. But gazing was not his only forte. He managed to send up little delicacies to the girl behind the bars every once in a while, and once or twice toe pur- chased a 15-cent spread at a neighbor ing restaurant and had it "sent to her room" with his compliments. But fate in the shape of a very unsenti mental jailor kept the loving pair from communicating orally. The jailer ha3 no jurisdiction over the jointist on the outside of the jail, but he has given orders to his charge on the inside that she is not to talk to the men, under penalty of removal to an inner cell. But "love will find a way'' and Jack wrote some very touching letters to Rosa. He explained early in the court ship that he "was up for selling booze" and wanted to know what she was "jug ged for." She probably explained that she was "pinched for copping out a few dresses from a private house." He explained that he was in for 100 days and wanted to know how long before she would get out. He explained that watching her from his station near the telephone pole was the only thing that kept him alive. The letters were smuggled from him to his summer girl by a trusty in the county jail and Rosa's were smuggled back. The letters were full of kisses and vows of ever lasting friendship! Oh, the strength of a man's devotion! The courtship ended as suddenly as it commenced. He was allowed 25 days for good conduct and left the city jail a free man. He deserted the girl be hind the bars without so much as a farewell letter. When he was told he could go he lost no time but she is still behind the bars. She was a pretty girl and as she sat on the front porch of a modest little To peka home on the west side, with the afternoon shadow s of a Virginia creeper llickering across her face, she presented an inviting portrait. Tw o young men who were passing had not failed to notice the interesting scene. They had been drinking and were in the if A m! 11 r H 's. S 1,1 tit d desperate stage. At the corner of the home yard the admirers came to a stop and John said to Jim in a husky voice: "Say, I'm going to speak to that girl." "You're not; come back," exclaimed Jim. "I'll bet a dollar I do and she gives me a bouquet besides." "Taken," said Jim, as the daring knight errant made a bee line back across the yard to the front door leav ing Jim standing spell bound with sur prise. Raising hl3 hat very politely to the startled young lady who rose at his ap proach, John began in most solemn style. (John had once taken the part of Uriah Heep in an amateur show and could assume an humble attitude.) "Pardon me, madame, but I have a companion, a friend of years, who Is dying with consumption. His chief de light is flowers. I see you have many growing in the bed out there. Will you sell me a bouquet?" "We have no flow-ers to sell," mur mured the young lady in a subdued one, "but a bouquet for the sick room could not be refused. I will call papa to help gather them." Together the three proceeded to the bed of old-fashioned flowers but neither the young lady nor the old gentleman noticed the triumphant smile John flashed quietly at Jim as the trio turned the house corner. "I could easly buy my dying friend a bouquet at a greenhouse," explained John, "but they would not be the kind that his mother raised back in York state and of which he continually bab bles in his delirious sleep." And here John wiped his eyes in a mournful way and the young lady in sympathetic grief, too, brushed away a tear with her dain ty handkerchief. "What are those bell-shaped flowers that look so pretty?" exclaimed John, as the young lady was deftly arranging the choice collection interspersed with a few fern sprays. "Petunias," she said; "they are very fragrant and pleasant for the sick room." "Pe-too-nas; he often speaks of them. Madame; he will bless you to his last hour for your kindness. Please accept a half dollar for the token of your gen erosity. "No; then thanks again," and John passed out to where Jim stood leaning against a tree with a dollar in his hand to pay the bet. "Poor man, I felt so sorry for him, didn't you. papa?" But the young lady's elder sister who knew men and their ways better and who had been an Interested observer from an upper window, remarked: "Pooh, he was simply drunk. I'll bet he had no sick friend at all." And Jim softly echoed, "That's me." "I see that the people are talking of a bridge across the Kansas river near Rossville," said Ananias Fisher a few nights ago as he sat on an empty chicken crate in the hay market and talked politics to the. farmers who were there.. "That reminds me of a bridge across Mill creek that was carried out by a fish years ago. All the big fish were in Mill creek and one of them was the cause of the country out there being without a bridge. "We used to catch all kinds of fish out there in the early fifties before the In dians were driven away. The creek was bigger then than now and so were the fish. We used grub worms for bait. "We used 'shrink lines,' and they beat any throw or tree line ever invented. There was a vine called the yerba beu na that used to grow out near the old Indian mission on the Valencia road, and we used this for a line. It was about half an inch in diameter when it was full grown and strong as a log chain. We used to tie one end to a tree or stake and throw the line into the creek and we did not have to stay and watch. Well I put one of those 'shrink lines' out once and went off and left it. "Well, what's the shrink part got to do with it?" asked a barefooted boy who was interested. "Why, I plum forgot that, but the lines would shrink when they got wet you know, and draw the fish up on the bank. But as I was telling you about leaving this line. I went back in the morning after I had done the chores and the tree that I tied the line to was gone. It was pulled right up by the roots. I got a skiff and started down stream to look for it. "The creek was up and I found the tree lodged in the braces of the bridge. The "shrink line' was all right and on the other end was a big fish. I couldn't say how big it was, but it was powerful. I suppose the fish was so stout that when it pulled and when the line shrunk that it pulled the tree up. "The fish got under the bridge all right. The water was high and the tree caught. The fish was a pretty strong one, for it pulled the bridge, piers and all over and not a thing was left of it. We heard a month or two after that one of the spans of the bridge lodged on his back and made a good big platform and that he was trained and used for a ferry boat down in Mississippi some where. Of course I don't know about that, but I heard it." "Keep to Your Place and Your Place mill Keep You." Without good health nw cannot keep situations nor enjoy life.

Silicfan Scientist Shows aNorel Indention. STOPS SEA DISASTERS. Will Also Render Submarine Boats Useless For Hostile Purposes Expla nation of Discoyery. Washington.July 1. An Invention re cently made by a Sicilian scientist is aimed to prevent collisions at sea and render submarine boats useless for hostile operations. The invention is known as "wireless telephony," and is intended to enable officers on different ships to talk with each other without the aid of wires. Commander Richardson Clover, chief of the office of naval intelligence, said today that the invention has received considerable attention abroad and con tains elements of success. It is likely that the navy department will careful ly look into the matter with a view to the use of the invention in the Ameri can naval service. Experiments have been made on the Italian gunboat Scilla in the Gulf of Genoa, in the presence of scientists and naval experts. The inventor is a Sicil ian, Professor Mario Russo d'Asar. Wireless telephony announces in the darkness of the night or a dense fog the approach of ships, torpedo boats and even of the invisible submarine boat, indicates their direction and places the men on watch on guard. Concerning the invention and the trials which have been made, this trans lation of an article on the subject in the Marine Gazette of Italy has been made: "It is well known that transmissibil ity of sounds is in direct ratio to the density of the means through which they are transmitted. It is equally well known that water is an excellent means for transmitting sounds to a dis tance. It has been noticed that a bath er immersed in water hears with great distinctness the sound of a steamer's engine in motion, because the water in which the latter is immersed is in a special state of vibration, owing to the movement of the engine and the screw actuated thereby. "From these principles the inventor derived the conclusion that if the air could seize these vibrations of sound, an instrument of great sensibility be low water would be susceptible of seiz ing them at a greater distance and with greater distinctness and became con vinced that a telephone apparatus should be the point of departure for obtaining the practical means of sig naling between two vessels. "The water would take the place of the wires. It was necessary, first of all, to construct a sound receiver which would perform the functions of the ear below the surface of the water, then another apparatus that would Increase the sounds received and indicate the di rection whence they came. "The submarine receiver is a kind of box secured to the hull with a number of depressions, so as to receive the sounds from all directions. From the center of each of these an electric wire leads to the telephone, which latter contains an ingenious mechanism based on Edison's well known scientific prin ciples. "A dial plate on a board is divided into two parts corresponding to the two sides of the ship. Two hands indicate the direction of the steamer signaled. A system of bells at the upper part of the dial plate and one of the receivers on the board indicates by sound with the greatest distinctness the rhythm of the screw of the distant vessel. "When coming within seven kilome ters of a steamer the hand of the tele phone turns and indicates the direction of the vessel and follows its route, while the bells and receiver beat simultan eously the cadence of the distant screw. The noises of the vessel on which the apparatus is located cause no disturb ance, because, owing to the special con struction of the submarine receiver, they are not transmitted." BY SURGICAL SKILL. Successful Cass of Trephining on a I Paralytic. Geneva, N. Y., July 1. Surgeons In this vicinity are watching with great interest the case of Eugene Brazee of Oaks Corners, who, through an opera tion on the brain in the city hospital here last Friday, has regained the pow er of speech, recovered his memory and has been relieved of paralysis of the right side. While repairing a barn on April 18, Brazee was struck on the left side of the head by a falling timber. He was slightly stunned, but rallied in a few minutes and resumed his work. The skull was not fractured and except for a large bump where the timber struck, there were no immediate ill-effects from the injury. Physicians decided, however, that he had received injuries that would ulti mately prove fatal if they did not re ceive proper attention. About three weeks ago Brazee found that he was losing his memory and could not re member words, and one day he forgot his name. Scon afterward he lost the power of speech and gradually his whole right side became completely paralyzed. Dr. Church of Oaks Corners, Brazee's physician, called Dr. Covert and Dr. Skinner of this city, in consultation. The seat of the trouble was located in the motor tract of the left side of the brain. An operation was deemed neces sary, and last Friday Brazee was placed on the operating table of the Geneva city hospital. As there was no fracture, it was nec essary for Dr. Skinner, who performed the operation, to cut through the skull, and as soon as this was done the diag nosis made at the consultation was proved to be correct. A blood vessel in the brain toad been ruptured by the falling timber. A little more than a half pint of blood clots and other matter was removed from the left side of the brain cavity. The effect of the operation was ap parent almost as soon as Mr. Brazee was restored from the influence of anes thetics. He has already regained his memory and power of speech and the free use of the entire right side, and is making rapid progress toward recov ery. Thomas Rhoads. Centerneld.

Experiments Show That It Can Be Made For 2 Cents a Gallon. One Drop Will Freeze a Large Glass of Water. AS A HIGH EXPLOSIVE, It Surpasses Dynamite A Pure Refrigerant. The Onlj Obstacle Is the Dan ger of Explosion. New York, July 1. An experimental test of a liquid pir plant built after the de signs of Oscar P. Ostergress and Morritz Burger was made last evening at the fac tory, No. 531 West Twenty-third street, before many scientists and others inter ested In the new power. One of the principal objects of the ex periment was to demonstrate that it 13 possible to make liquid air at a cost which will render It useful for commercial purposes and make it as common in every household as heat and light. rne capacity 01 trie plant is l.aw gallons dav. and durlne the actual running time of the machinery this average was kept up. The riuid, looKlng iiae pure water, had a temperature of about 409 degrees below zero, and cost a trifle over 5 cents a gallon, wnich is said to be 15 cents less than any ever made before. The first gallon of liuuid air ever made cost about $2,500. Mr. Ostergrees demon strated to the satisiactlon or tne experts that it can now be made for 2 cents a gallon. The machinery comprising the plant is simple and the only care necessary Is to have receptacles strong enough to sustain very mgn pressure. The air to be liauefied is taken through a standpipe from above the roof of the factory, and after being washed and fil tered is compressed until the gauge shows a pressure of l,2o0 degrees. This pressure maxes neat, so tne compressed air. ai:er being cooled by passing it through coils of pipe immersed in water, is permitted to escape into a chamber, where it expands instantly ana turns into liquid, wnicn can be drawn from a receiver under the cham ber. The air which does not iiauefy passes again through the system and cool the incominer air so that bv this circulation the temperature is kept below 322 de grees, at which temperature compressed air becomes liquid. This process can be kept up for an indefinite period. The value of liquid air as 3 refrigerant was shown in several appliances designed for use in an entirely new lln. The fluid being chemically pure, an ap paratus has been made to distribute it through hospitals, hoteis. private houses and other places, so that any desired tem perature can be maintained. It can be made cold enough inyide a house to make flannels a necessity, while the outside wails may be blistering from th heat. Few persons would like to bo the Ice man when liquid air plants are running. Barrooms can furnish liquid air cocktails mixed with whisky that will taste like a section of the north pole. A drop of liquid air will freeze a glass of water, and a quart of the air will make everything in a refrigerator like a lump of ice. It was shown by experiments that liquid air mixed with carbon or any volatile sub stance becomes a powerful explosive, and experts believe that it will take the place of other explosives for blasting purposes. It has been demonstrated that twelve gal lons of liquid air are equal in power to a ton of dvnamite. The only obstacle In the way of the ex tensive use of liquid air Is the danger of explosion from heat. Mr. Ostergress has invented a carrier by which the fluid pre served in the new way is safe, and can be transported anywhere without danger. THE BAKERS ARE LEAVING Without a Leader, They Realize Their Relative Weakness. London, Ky., July 1. The Bakers are leaving the mountains, fearing assassi nation by the Whites and Howards, who continue to harass them. Since Beverly Baker was shot at while sit ting with his family at home the Ba kers have awakened to the situation and, seeing that they have no leader, they have decided to vacate Clay coun ty, at least temporarily. Mrs. Emma Baker, the widow of Tom Baker, is improving and her new born son promises to grow into a strong man. She says she does not fear fur ther harm to her, since all of her boys are small. She says she will try to raise a crop on the little farm. Carlo and Bob Baker, with their mother, have arrived here and announce that they will remain until something is done by the state to protect them and their pro perty. Andy Baker and Jason Bowling, who went back into Clay county and are at Bowling's home, have not been molest ed as yet. They remain close in-doors and are heavily armed. Bee Baker, the brother of Tom- Ba ker, is here with his sister, Mrs. Chris Jackson. Andy Howard, a brother of Jim How FROCTKR OAMBLS CO. CfKCtWUn ard, has returned from the army and brought with him. a. large supply of guns and arnraunition. He was met here by Daugh White, Felix Davidson and Tom Mitrriam. of the Howard White faction. t They came here lest Andy Howard 'should encounter the Bakers and be killed. Before enlisting in the army Andy Howard was regard ed as one of the most dangerous of the Howard faction. BTJSI1NES8 FAILURES. Show Great Falling Off In Number and Amount. New Tork, July 1. R. Of. Dua Co' Weekly Review;,of Trade says: Failures for I the second quarter of 1S99, haye been 2.0S0 in number against 3,055 last year, with liabilities of $20. 259,000, against K'6,602,252 last year, and for the first hatf of 1899 failures were 4,852 against 6,766 last year, with lia bilities of J48,711,,000, against $.1,246,783 last year. Nearly half of the June lia bilities are dues to one failure, not strictly commercial, covering some banking concerns, a promoter and a railway equipment company for $5,136, 000, in essential i features a loan and trust concern. With it banking- failures amount to $6,436,000 for the half year, leaving for commercial failures $42,276, 053, against $67,441,639 last year. Manufacturing failures were $16,900, 000 for the half year, against $30,768,144 last year, and trading were $23,000,000, against $32,956,626 last year. The demand for iron and steel seems to have no limit. Scarcity of pig has raised the price a dollar per ton for local coke at Chicago, $1.10 to $19.75 for bessemer at Pittsburg and $1.75 to $17.73 for grey forge and 75 cents to $19.25 for anthracite No. 1 at Fhiladelphia, witti some iron selling above these quota tions at all points for early delivery. Efforts to get foreign contracts out of the way are met by fresh orders from Europe at last week's prices. Some furnaces have started, with con tracts for their whole year's product, but others are yet delayed. Prices of pig average higher than at any other time since February, 1890, and prices of fin ished products higher than since March 1891. Billets are hardly obtainable, bar and plate orders are refused quite large ly because works are overcrowed, sheet mills have much stronger demand at the west, but less at the east, and structural works report 26,000 tons re quired in two new eastern contracts. The continuing demand in spite df ris ing prices astonishes everybody. ,Coke ovens. 17,453 at work, put out for the week 181.872 tons, the heaviest wek's work ever known at Connellsvillei Tin is stronger at 26 cents and copper at 13 cents for lake, but lead is lull rvtth hope of an end to the Colorado stjrike. Another industry passes all records, boot and shoe shipments from theieast 400,813 cases, exceeding those inlar.y other month of any other year for (Tour weeks and the demands for speedM de livery show enormous distribution In all directions. New orders are large, and several months ahead. Wool sles, 36,179,900 pounds, of which 29.8. 900 were domestic, reveal a speculation scarcely less obtrusive than in l&;7, when 41,179,000 bales were sold in; the same weeks, against 23.768.200 in 1892, when the mills were well emplojed. Cotton mills are doing well in spit of the fall in cotton as the demand gives them enough to do at current prices and weak spots in the trade are defend ed by the agreement between Fall Hiv er mills. Wheat receipts at the west In four weeks have been 21,691,536 bushels against 4,111.625 bushels last year, and western receipts in June have ranged between 5,794,528 bushels in 1894, and 9. 551,278 in 1S96. Beyond question the farmers and the speculators and eleva tor owners in farming regions believe that about 80 cents here is as much as the old wheat will fetch, although exports have been for four weeks 8.-894,838- bushels from Atlantic ports, against 15,012.687 last year, and 2,445. 749 from Pacific ports, against 1.829.709 last year. It is not surprising that with such receipts the price has dropped lM,c and corn also fell 2c, with exports in four weeks 11.485,596 bushels, against 12,076.703 last vear. The cotton mar ket is also weak, with heavy receipts and good crop prospects, and declined a sixteenth. Failures for the week have been lil in the ITnited States againat 254 last year, and 22 in Canada, against 15 last year. ROCK ISLAND ROUTE.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, SATURDAY EVENING, JULY ,1 1899. 5 r ItyPfZfc Art In the school room is rapidly be coming an essential feature of a child's education. True, it finds no place in the regular course of study, but with su. table decorations and a very few minutes spent on the subject each day a great deal may be learned by the pupils. Clubs all over the country are inter ested in this work and our own city fed eration has decided to make it part of its wort- next year. It may be interest ing to Topeka women to know how this work is carried on in l-nver. It was commenced there about two years aso anil in that time lies made great pro gress. Mrs. W. S. Tilton, an active worker in the Denver Woman's club said: "An art league of which a n ember of the Wo man's club is chairman, is formed in each school district and the work is conducted in a systematic manner. "The art of one nation alone is used In each room: samples of the finest pic tures, sculpture and pottery are used to decorate the rooms artistically. The lives of the masters whose works are represented, are studied thoroughly and the history of each tit of sculpture and ji,.ttf-ry is taught. "The pupils look lorward eagerly to their art lesson eacvi day, and by the time they have finish -d the grades, they have acquired a con prehensive knowl edge of art of all twe nations. "A specialty is male of the schools In the poorer parts of town, as it is there that the influence of good pictures Is most needed. "Committees are appointed for the purpose of mounting the pictures and getting them ready for use in the schools; this is by no means a simple task as it takes thousands of them. The l'e?ry pictures are used until something better can be afforded; they are mount ed on card b'jard and some times entire screens are covered with them. "At the River Front Park which is located in the poorer part of town, there 4s a eoud collection of pit tures which are loaned out just as the books are, and it is wonderful the influence thse pictures havp on the children in th"ir homes. "Mrs. Laura Herron Halm, formerly of Topek i, is chairman of the art league of the Corona school. '"'In order to foster a feehner of pat riotism in the pupils, the halts of all the schools are decorab d with Ameri can, flags and the pictures of some of our American, heroes." A Minneapolis Kansas, Club. The Atlantean Brown club of Minne apolis. Kansas, finished a successful year of study last Friday and disbanded for the summer after a very pleasant meeting at the home of Mrs. H. H. Jar k. A few guests were present, but the Usual programme was f 'loed, the les son being upon some of the great mas ters of music. A pap-. r was read by Mrs. It M Gonther, on the lives of Ba::h. Handel, Haydn, Mozart, Schub ert, Mendelssohn, Verdi. Chopin, Wag ner and Strauss and selections from the composition of each were rendered. "The use of German Opera," was the subject of a paper by Mrs Christie Midgley, after which the roll was called and each member present responded with some fact about a noted composer. After a short business session, a dainty tea was served and the good-byes were said for the summer. The first week in September the club will reorganize, and begin its work upon th new course of study which has been in preparation the past few weeks. Their year book for "y-'S9 shows that they have studied, principally, litera ture, though occasional afternoons have have been given to music and painting, civil service reform and domestic econ omy. They devoted four meetings to Tennyson, two to Shakespeare and an other to George Kbot. Many of the modern writers were taken up, and the late popular books read and discussed. The year book which will appear for 99-'0O will follow similar lines, for their principal study will again be given to a course in literature. Before Christ- mas they will take the English writer?

SQUIRES, PHARMACIST. Telephone No. 743. 732 Kansas Ave. beginning: with Chaucer, reading In turns Milton, Shakespeare, Scott, Uick ens and the greater writers of both prose and poetry. Later they will study foreign authors, as Ebers and Tolstoi; then they will turn to American litera ture, taking first the eastern writers, then the western, including those of Kansas. As last year, they will read the later works of fiction, among which are "Penelope's Progress," "When Knighthood was in Flower," "Rose of Dutcher's Coolly," and "David Harura." Their meetings will be interspersed with occasional days on other interesting topics, such as the five on church study, the ones on "Monopolies and Trusts," "Great Conventions of the Year," "Re cent Scientific Discoveries," and a mus ical program. This club was organized March 26. 1W6, first as a Chautauqua circle, but after finishing the course prescribed by that body they have chosen their own topics for study. There have always been fifteen members at present they are: President, Mrs. Ada F. Riddle; vice presidents, Mrs. Carrie K. Goucher, and Mrs. Kmma O. Jack; secretary, Mrs. Pearl E. Coughlin: treasurer, Mrs. Ella W. Dickinson: Mrs. Lorain M. Clark, Mrs. Lizzie E. Gafford, Mrs. W. Blanche Morris, Mrs. Emma Cole, Mrs. Emma B. Gemeny, Mrs. Clara C. Hen ry, Mrs. Christie M. Midgley. Mrs. Catherine E. Purton, Mrs. Alice M. Sexton. Mrs. Zorah L. Thompson. Something New in Club Lines. A new path in club lines has been struck out by the County Woman's club, of Lapeer, Mich. The organiza tion is composed chiefly of farmers' wives and other women who have lived on farms. There were two vacant rooms in the county court house, and the women got permission to use them as clubrooms. Each member paid for one yard of car pet and gave one chair, one cup. saucer, plate, knife, fork and spoon. The club has a literary programme every Satur day, and a meeting, with refreshments, once a month. The roewns are open all day Saturday, giving the members a comfortable and homelike place to which to come. This club is the first of its kind in the state. The idea started at the meeting of the State Federation in Detroit, and was carried out when a farmers' institute was held at Lapeer soon after. About Women. Mrs. C. W. Goodlander, the young wife of the mayor of Fort Scott, Kan., has attracted much attention by an innova tion she has introduced in the line of assisting her husband in one of his most onerous public duties, namely, provid ing for the needy poor of the city. She spends certain hours of each day driv ing around the poorer quarters of the city and personally investigating claims for assistance, and no indolent or unde serving person gets an order frim her. She permits no social function to inter fere with this work. The results of her enterprise are being anticipated with great interest. Several of Ellen Terry's gowns which she wears in "Robespierre" were de signed by her daughter. Miss Craig, who also superintended the making of the women's costumes. Mrs. W. H. Gannaway, wife of the Methodist pastor at Latah, Wash., late ly took charge of the pulpit services for a Sunday in her husband's absence, and conducted them with credit to her self and satisfaction to the people. It is well known that the Princess of Wales and her two sisters were early trained in all domestic economies. They had to make their own gowns when at home, and the Princess of Wales has always been an industrious worker. She has become an expert bookbinder. In Paris and other large cities in France women are taking the places of the boy bootblacks. They wear a pe culiar garb! not unlike that of the Sis ters of Mercy, which renders their ap pearance neat and attractive. Not a few among them attend to their work with gloved hands. An anecdote that has created consid erable amusement has been told of the Princess Charles of Denmark and her interview at a railway station with a reporter. The latter was scribbling in a notebook, when, looking up, ho caught the princess regarding him intently. Then she began to write in a notebook. Tearing the leaf out. she dropped it near the reporter and walked away. He eagerly picked it up and found written upon it. "I wish I were a reporter." The oldest love letter in the world Is a proposal of marriage for the hand of an Egyptian princess, made 3.500 years ago. It is in the form of an inscribed brick, and is therefore not only the old est, but the most substantial love letter that has ever been written. A Few Delicious Salads. This is the most difficult season of the year for the brain of the busy housewife to devise new dishes with which to tempt the fitful appetite, A dainintess of service should charac terize every meal, and with a little thought and care this may be accom plished. It becomes an irksome mat ter to plan (and in may cases, prepare and serve) thre meals every day, but if one plans her work carefullv the great est amount of it may be done in the I """"""FS "OIJC IL IS COOI. A salad gives tone to a meal that no other dish can. At this season anv amount of dainty salads mav be made with very little work and expense. There are two rules which should be observed m the making of every salad: it should be crisp and cool, and should never be mixed until time to serve it A dainty way to serve salad is to line the salad dish with crisp lettuce leaves, and arrange it so that in serving each one may receive a leaf containing the salad. Following are a few simple receipts for warm weather salads. Either may onnaise or cooked dressing may be used. Tomato salad is always accepta ble: select large smooth tomatoes, which have been thoroughly chilled; peel, hollow out and place on lettuce leaves. Surround each, tomato with thin slices of cucumber and fill the hol low with chopped cucumber; sprinkle lightly with salt, pour the dressing over and serve. Another delicious salad is made of peas, and chopped English walnuts; when celery can be obtained it may also be used. The proportions are, half celery, a quarter nuts and a quarter peas, but when it is made without cel ery, half nuts and half peas should be used. Cook the peas in salt water un til tender, drain and place on ice until cold; blanch the nuts and chop until about the size of the peas; mix and serve at once. Tomatoes and cucumbers peeled and sliced thin are appetizing, served" with a good dressing; a few slices of Span ish onion improve the flavor. Cabbage, chilled and chopped fine makes a good salad, as do also chopped cucumbers. Cauliflower may also be utilized as a salad. Select a medium sized head and simmer slowly in salt water until tender; when cold, pick to pieces (no not cut) mix with dressing and serve. Salmon salad is also good but heavier than the vegetables. Take half salmon and half cabbage and mix with enough dressing to make the right consistency. The simplest way of serving a salad at the table without the trouble of making a mayonnaise or cooked dress ing is to put in the bottom of the saiad bowl a half teaspoonful of onion juice scraped from the onion, vinegar, oil, salt and pepper, according to taste. In to this are laid the cress or lettuce leaves, turning and tossing with the salad knife and fork, so that the whole salad is mixed with the dressing. This is the usual French method of prepar ing salad. A good proportion for the ingredients will be found to be a half teaspoonful of salt, a dash of whit pepper or paprika, four tablespoonfuls of olive oil and a tablespoonful of vine gar or lemon juice. Some prefer it with a half teaspoonful of Worcester shire or Tobasco sauce added. An Italian dressing that may also be made at the table calls for a halt teaspoonful of salt, a quarter of a tea spoonful of pepper and a teaspoonful of tomato catsup or paste. Rub the salad spoon and the bottom of the bowl with a clove of garlic, and add gradually to the catsup four table spoonfuls of olive oil. mixing carefully. Pour in a tablespoonful of tarragon vinegar, beat thoroughly and mix with saiad. PIXEAPPLE JELLT. A pint and one-half of pineapple, a scant pint of sugar, the white and shell of an egg. a box of gelatin, the juice of a lemon, one quart of boiling water, half a pint of cold water. Cut the pine apple in fine pieces, put with the boiling water and simmer gently 20 minutes. Soak the gelatin in cold water for two hours. Add it, the sugar, lemon and pineapple juice and the white mc shell of the egg to the boiling mixture. Let this boil up once, and set back for 20 minutes where it will keep riot but will not boil. Strain through a napkin, turn into molds and set away to harden. Menus For Tomorrow. BREAKFAST. Cantaloupe, Hominy with Cream, Calves Liver and Bacon. French Fried Potatoes. Hot Rolls. Coffee.

Manila, July 1.-10:40 a. m. A col lision between the two armies at San Fernando seems inevitable soon. The insurgents are active all around the town and can be seen working in the trenches to strengthen their positions. Day and night forces are at work. It is estimated that 3,000 men were seen marching in the road north of town yesterday morning. The Americans turned out and manned the defences, expecting an attack. The soldiers sleep in their clothes and breakfast at four o'clock in the morning, so as to be ready for another day break assault. The commission of three Spanish offi cers who entered the insurgent lines a fortnight ago tomake a final attempt to arrange for the release of the Span ish prisoners have not returned. Their long absence has occasioned alarm. But reports come to Manila that they were received by Aguinaldo at Tarlac and entertained hospitably. It is said that Aguinaldo gave a banquet in their honor, all the leading families of the rebel leader's present cabinet attending, hence the Spaniards in Manila hope that the mission of the commissioners will be successful.

0 TOPEKA STATE JOURXAL, SATURDAY EVENING, JTJHLY 1, 1899. FATTED CALF." Animal Is Slaughtered Benefit of Science. For So Prodigal Partakes of It3 Juicy Loins. MIL DUDLEY'S FEED. lie Banquets a Party of His farmer Frien Js. Method of Feeding Balanced Ration Is Discussed. Appropriate obsequies were held at the Topeka club last night over the re mains of a fatted calf, three years old. brought to a fine point of perfection by the process of feeding known as the balanced ration of which Guilford Dud ley, banker and farmer, is a scientific and practical advocate. As. M. W. Van IValkenburg remarked, it was a "very Eteer-ful occasion." Three months ago Mr. Dudley pur chased 100 head o steers. He fed them on the balanced ration. In 83 days the liiinch was pronounced finished and ready for market. Forty head sold for 5 cents a pound. Sixty head fed MO days were sold in the Kansas City mar kns at S cents, both prices being the top of the market. Mr. Dudley kept one of the steers; had the animal slaugh tered at Charles Wolffs packing house end last night treated his friends to a banquet in which the meat produced by this plan of feeding was an important feature. It was pronounced par excel lence bv the guests and judging from the few" fragments which, remained the balanced ration is a success. This plan prevailed last night. There were other delicacies served in a rive course din ner. Mr. Dudley's explanation of his ex periment caused considerable amuse ment last night. He said, being called upon at the close of the programme of fcpeeches: While I am studying and experi menting with some success in grain and cattle, I might tell you a little incident in connection with the business. In get ting these 100 cattle together to put on the 'balanced ration' I was very anxious to secure ail natives. I employed an -expert' to buy them and paid him a Jiberal commission. I looked the cattle over and thought I had secured what I had bargained for. This was in March. Later in the season when the steers be gan to shed their hair, do you know that half of those beasts were covered over with iron brands? I will tell you something now for nothing what has cost me some dollars to learn, and that is that generally, when a Texas steer is branded, his ears are clipped. The next time anybody wishes to sell me native steers I will look at the animal's ars as critically as I would look into a horse's mouth when I am buying a roadster." The "balanced ration" fed by Mr. Dudley with such success to the 100 head of cattle was weighed out each day and the weight of the average daily rations issued was as follows: Meal made from grinding the corn and cob up together, 1.750 pounds; bran. 600 pounds; linseed oil meal, 2"0 pounds; hay, liOO pounds; a total of 2.800 pounds, which would give 28 pounds of feed each day to each head; that is. I.1-. pounds of cob meal, 6 pounds of bran.2'ii pounds of oil meal and 2 pounds of hay. This ration yields by chemical anal ysis 2.91 of protein, which goes to make up the lean meat: 14.44 of carbo hydrates, which goes into the bone, muscle, hair, waste, etc., and .S9 of fat. This ration was fed to these cattle reg ularly for from So to 91 days, when they mere pronounced ready for the market. The banquet endd at 10 o'clock. Chancellor F. H. Snow of the State university started the speechmaking. He was introduced as a representative of the "survival of the fightest." Mr. finow suggested that the grand march cf oratory if indulged in at length would prolong the programme, consequently lie promised to make his contribution a "balanced ration." His subject was "Evolution," which he discussed from a scientific standpoint. He cited the fact that twenty-five years ago he was an opponent of the idea, and that people believed evolution was a near approach to atheism. Now only in remote com munities is the theory not generally ac cepted. He took the position that species and individuals are created by the pro cess of evolution. The princ iples of evo lution, heredity, environment, "as ap plied to us farmers," are found in the effort to procure stock of go. )d quality. "This," he said, "is responsible for the revolution which has overcome the razor-backed, slab-sided hog. Environ ment means that we must have the best processes in the cultivation of the oil and the maturing of crops. weeeding out defects, getting the best in every thing is the hope of advancement for the future." Illustrating his theory Mr. now told of a handsome boy who ask ed his homely father if God had not f v, i Excursion Rales.

The Sonta Fe offers unusual attrac tions to persons who desire to travel in comfort and luxury and on fast trains. The tracks are rock-ballasted; the bridges are of steel or stone or both; grade crossings are minimized; the cars are lighted by electricity: while the dining rooms, dining cars and lunch counters are under the management of Mr. Fred Harvey, and are not equalled any where. Passengers on the Santa Fe find there's comfort in every turn of the wheels. T. L. King. Agent, A. 31. a. F, ftj., Topeka, Kansas ft done a better job with the son than with the father. "God is now doing- better than He did, and that is accountable for the advanced ideas and improvement which, is characteristic of the living gen eration. We are weeding out the bad and putting in its place the good Prof. H. M. Cottrell of the State Agri cultural college discussed the "Balanced Ration," saying that Mr. Dudley was the first man to attempt it in the west, with the result that the price of bran has doubled. ""Last week," he said, "hogs on the college farm fed the bal anced ration, gained 15 pounds- hogs fed the ordinary run of grain gained but S pounds. A hen fed on the bal anced ration will produce 150 to 201 eggs per year; the ordinary feed will produce stout 65." He advised the feeding of blood from slaughtered stock, saying: 'There is nothing which so stimulates the development of hogs. Mr. Wolff, the packer, buries the blood from his slaughter pens. It should be fed by th3 farmers in the two townships surround ing Topeka." Experiments in the bal anced ration will be inaugurated at the college soon with 250 hogs. Introducing Prof. E. H. Bailey, Mr. Godard said: "I have discovered why the farmers fa-or the enforcement of the prohibitory law; because since sa loons were opened in the county seat towns, there are no flies in the pas tures." Prof. Bailey's part of the pro gram, comprised a scientific explanation of the protein of food products. Col. W. H. Rossington was presented as "the hard working and over worked farmer," to which he responded by ad dressing the gentlemen as "fellow horny-handed farmers." The colonel said Mr. Dudley did not know what he meant when he suggested the subjec t "Agricola." "Neither did I." he said, with frank humor. He had found a definition of the word which pertained to farming and this phase he followed. He said: "I could farm as well as Dud ley. I could sit on a fence under an umbrbella and perspire while the hired man did the work; I could feed cattle in a manner not probably acceptable to the learned gentlemen present or the cattle. Seriously this is a practical meeting and the production of nutrit ious foods is a problem of the time. I believe the spit and gridiron should be established in Kansas kitchens and the frying pan and skillet should be abol ished." Ex-Governor George W. Glick was in troduced as the "Nestor of Kansas farming, and a man who is still on the nest." Mr. Glick created applause by saying that when he first met Mr. Dud ley "he was marshalling the Kansas boys and sending them out to protect the honor of the state and the integrity of the union. "Kansas agriculture. One of Our Things." was his subject. Mr. Glick recalled the fact that he has had to do with the establishment of the university, normal and agricultural col lege. He suggested that the university is taking care of itself. "The agricul tural college is doing its duty and will continue to do so unless the politicians run it." The speakers referred to Mr. Dudley as "colonel." "This makes me hot," said Mr. Glick, "because I know he Is General Dudley." Referring to the farmer's life he said: "When the government calls for troops to defend us the soldiers who can march 24 hours a day come from the farms." In conclusion, Mr. Glick said: "I have said what I have said under protest and if you don't like it kick to General Dud ley." "You've done very well," said the host. "System in Feeding" was discussed by J. D. Small. Who said there are 2.175. 000 cattle in Kansas: 700.000 are milch cows; 1.300.000 are being fattened for food. The system which he has adopted is first; purchase feeders at as low a price as possible; do all the work as cheaply as possible. C. A. Stannard. formerly of Abilene, now the owner of Sunnyslope. the late C. S. Cross famous Hereford cattle farm at Emporia, talked about his hobby, Hereford cattle. This hobby has been ridden to marked success by Mr. Stan nard. and his remarks were received with attention. He advised the breeder to begin with pure bred stock. He pro duced figures to prove that a man would succeed better, so far as profits in the long run, are concerned, by begin ning with a dozen pure bred cattle, than with 100 "scrubs." Charles Wolff, the Topeka packer, "of whom we are all proud," said Mr. God ard, read an entertaining paper on "Finished Meat Products." He said, "to procure good meat it is absolutely nec essary to adopt the best plan of feed ing and development. The Kansas hog," he said, "is generally all right as to breeding, but demands and should re ceive careful attention as to feed." He made sussestions as to the care of hogs, necessary in producing a market able and palatable animal. He advised tha feeding of corn when hogs weigh 100 pounds. Ex-Gov.Glick commended, as the best ever done in the state, the work to de velop the science of breeding cattle, by Prof. Geo. L. Clothier at the state ag ricultural college. Prof. Clothier was present and discussed "Seed Breeding." This was in general a plea for the feed ing of better grades of cattle. The speaker proclaimed against the "scrub" cattle and said that the best results can be obtained only by paying partic ular attention to the pure-bred cattle. This adddress was also an interesting explanation of the success possible in developing and improving the quality of feed, which is accomplished by "seed breeding," on cereals which can resist drouth and chinchbugs. Prof. B. F. Eyer of the Topeka high school, discussing the "Farmers' Boy." pictured the opportunities coming to that class of American citizens as un surpassed in building a nation and rearing a monument for future genera tions. Harold T. Chase, associate editor of the Topeka Capital, read a paper upon the subject: "Public Interest in the Farmer." Mr. Chase explained that he had responded to the invitation to at tend this farmers' institute because such recognized representatives of that class of citizens as Mr. Godard, Colonel Rossington, Arthur Capper and others were to be present. Mr. Chase said this country has been the most watchful of its agricultural interests which ac counts for the fact that it now- leas the world. He referred to the "politi cal farmer." and suggested that some profitable lessons might by them be learned in giving attention to the ac tive, vigorous thought which is charac teristic of the "new farmer." "Our pros perity," he said, "depends upon the man who tills the soil. Agriculture is proper ly the most respected and prosperous, and the most necessary of all the world's occupations." H. B. Miller, a prosperous cattle man of Osage county, was present and dis cussed the proposition which always is important to cattlemen, "When to Mar ket Cattle." "All successful business." he said, "requires preparation; why not ours?" Reasoning from this basis Mr. Miller said working with a purpose in all business, especially rais ing cattle, is necessary to obtain the best results. Dr. George C. Pritchard. of Topeka, ex-state veterinarian, read a paper in which he explained how farmers and cattlemen may stop Texas fever.Any of the crude oils, carbolic acid and kero sene, mixed in proper portions, he said by experience, had proven to be a val uable preventive. 1 J, L. Shellabarger, a conspicuous ex-, ample of the successful and scientific miller, a resident of Topeka, told the stockmen and farmers, of the changes which have taken place in the milling industries in recent years; how the simple primitive methods have been succeeded by scientific inventions in the line of machinery. "The old way" was explained by Mr. Shellabarger, by a story. It was about a boy who went to a mill, and becoming- impatient wait ing for a grist, offered to wager that he could eat the flour as fast as it was being ground. "How long?" asked the miller. "Until 1 starve to death," retorted the boy. The present process was then explain ed in an interesting paper. The subject to which M. W. Van Valkenburg gave attention was: "By Design or Chance." Mr. Godard sug gested that subject as the method by which "an insurance man broke into the meeting." Mr. Van Valkenburg re plied by saying: "I scorn the imputation that I am an insurance man. If I am anything to night I am a farmer, and I presume our farms all adjoin. This meeting hereafter. I presume," he said, "will be referred to as this 'steerful occa sion. "We boast of our advancement." he said; "of our Great school system; of our high percentage in industrial matters, but our farmers do not study what treats of their business; or. if they do treat it as theoretical. The work of the progressive practical agri culturist is a God given work. "You iarmers.gentlemen.have it in your power to make Kansas the beacon light of progressive agriculture.

Cast out of the minis of the farmers the idea that chance results is their only hope and replace it with the bright and intelligent element of purpose in all that they do. This is your work, gentlemen, and these are a few of the possibilities before you. Are you ready to assume the duties? Are the few ad vocates of progressi ve ideas and prac tices ready to apply this tincture of a new life to the many who are without it? The idea 13 ennobling and elevating and should find a responsive chord in the he.trt of every man friendly to the agricultural in terests of our great agricultural state." E. II. Crosby of Crosby Bros, discussed the business of the farmer "From the Merchant's View." He explained the laby rinth of business proceedings, placing up on the management of a business the re sponsibility of success. "The recognition of an opportunity to save money: prompt ness in discharging obligations; close at tention to details, and care in every de partment, mean a successful business. The snme nrincinle rirmlies In farming. Mv i personal observation is that the farmers i of Kansas are now purchasing the best j class of goods; they have iuit buying J shoddy stuffs. This alone is an indica tion ul me progress ui cms i itiss ui our citizens." The speaker said that Crosby Bros, own and operate a cotton plantation in the south. He told how some of the Louisiana farmers conducted their busi ness. They come to market with a few bales of cotton, sell it, and with the money purchase salt and meat, corn and other necessities of life, shipped from K::nsas. As to tiie neglect of other branches of farminsr. Mr. Crosbv said the "average farmer." in Louisiana, in response toa query as to why no did n:t raise, hogs for meat and not buy it. would say: "Weil, the hoe's wnui.l have to run so much to keep away from the niggers that they would die before being lare enough to eat." This paper was exceedingly interesting and was in the main a tribute to the in telligence arid thrift of the Kansas farmer, ''who." he said, "has set the pace which the rest of tiie world attempts to follow." Prof. E. B. Cowgill talked about "The New Farmer." referring to Mr. Dtnlley as "the imister builder of beef.' Mr. Dudley was called out and. respond ing to t lie compliments which had been bestowed upon his work in fattening cat tle, expressed surprise at the attention which has been given a little bit of or dinary farming. In closing Air. Dudley sugerested that the meeting result in the formation of an organization for the purpose of continuing them in the future. "Of course, I could not suggest the method, but there are breeders of hoi's here who have volunteered to furnish the pig for the next meeting." Mr. Dudley then explained his method of feeding, and the crowd went home at 1:30. In conclusion the following toast, proposed by Mr. Van Valkenburg, was "dryly enjoyed": Here's a toast To our host.

Should Slake Food Taste and Look WelL The true science of cookery is to se lect proper and nourishing ingredients and then prepare them in such a man ner as will please the taste, and inci dently the eye. The most valuable food will not Ions' agree with a person if its taste is dis agreeable. This does not argue that all nice tasting articles are nutritious and nourishing. However, it is the duty of all food experts to produce rtf -licious food and from the best possible ingredients, and to have a comprehen sive knowledge of the laws of diges tion and assirniliation. Grape-Nuts, the new food, made by Postum Cereal Co., Lim., Battle Creek, and now on sale at grocers, is thought to be the highest type of scientifically made food thus far produced. It possesses the delicate sweet of grape-sugar, with a new and peculiar flavor of a most winning character, while the processes of manufacture have brought the food to such a condi tion that it i absorbed by the system in a most natural and healthful man- ner.

An important suit for $100,000 damag es, involving a patent on a woven wire fence, lias been filed by Troutman ttone of this city in the federal court Ugainst Congressman J. D. Bowersock, and Representative A. Henley, J. A. Jlenley and A. D. Mackey of Lawrence. Tne plaintiff in the 'case is William Warner of Melvern who claims to be the original inventor of this particular kind of fence and his contention is sustained by a ruling from the commissioner of patents at Washington. Mr. Henley. Mr. Bowersock and the other gentlemen named in the petition constituted the Consolidated Barb Wire company of Lawrence which was re cently absorbed by the trust. This company engaged from July, 1893, until it went out of business last winter, in the -manufacture of a certain kind of fence upon which Mr. Warner claims to frold letters patent. The wire company attempted to pro cure a patent but the commissioner of patents ruled that it was an infringe ment upon the patent for the same kind of a fence previously issued to Mr. War ner. Upon the ruling of the patent office Ihe main contention of the suit is based and this ruling- is made a part of the petition. Mr. Warner's fence is in gen eral use throughout the west and it is claimed that this demand caused the Iawrenee company to take up its man ufacture.

Major Ja cob Ppahn, a well known lawyer, had a desperate encounter with, a wood eagle of unusually large size. Mr. Stiahn was walking along the beach yesterday afternoon when he suddenly came face to face with a bird that was almost as tall as himself. The bird made directly for him and not until he was attacked by beak and claws did he realize what a serious position he was in. A desperate encounter followed resulting in the death of the bird, which measured over seven feet from tip to tip. The major's clothing was torn in shreds, and he was badly scratched by the bird's talons. The eagle is the larg est ever seen in this section. New Tork. July 1. Charles M. Mur phy of the Kings county Wheelmen, rode a mile on a bicycle, paced by a lo comotive in 57 4-5 seconds late yesterday afternoon. His course was a two mile board track on a siding of the Long Is: and railroad. Murphy followed an en- gine and a day coach, the latter being provided with a hood, which acted as a wind shield for the rider. The board track was laid near Maywood, L. I., and extended from that station two miles east, and was nearly perfect to a level as skill could make it. Fully 3.000 people saw Murphy make his dar ing ride. Engineer Sam Booth had his hand on the throttle of engine 74 when the word was riven to start, ten minutes past five.

Of the Social ists Political conference yesterday, Chairman Mills at the session called for Eugene V. Debs to speak for the Social Democratic party. Mr. Debs did not re spond and Mrs. Corrine H. Braun of Chicago, was asked to represent the party. The necessity for the abolition of wage slavery was the keynote of her address. She declared she was for the basic socialistic idea, the whole of so cialism. John G. Wooley, of Chicago, spoke for the prohibitionists. He attacked the Republican and the Democratic parties and Senators Hanna, Piatt and Quay, Richard Croker and others. His re marks became so sarcastic and scath ing that he was called to order. He re ferred to President McKinley as a good man, but "absolutely the creature of monopolies and plutocracy." Mr. Kennedy of Binghamton, took the platform and asked all those who were in favor of the United States withdrawing from the Philippines to stand. Almost everybody arose before the chairman could rap them down and de clared Kennedy out of order. Chairman Mills shouted: "Take your seats." and then said: "The motion is lost." Kennedy's action, was denounced by many. Mayor S. M. Jones of Topledo spoke briefly on public ownership. John W. Breidenthal, bank commissioner of Kansas, championed the cause of Popu lism. "We want," he said, "a return to the government of Lincoln, for the people, of the people and by the peo ple." Oen. E. C. Howard of Chicago, of the silver reform party, took the platform and said he did not know what use there was for his party since he had heard what Mr. Willams had to say of heard what Mr.Williams had to say of Prof. Richard Ely of Cambridge, ac knowledged being a mugwump and said he would like as a Republican to vote for Dewey for president of the TTnited States and he led in a tremend ous applause and cheering for Dewey.

Murphy was keeping well within the hood. As they neared the be ginning of the mile stretch the pace was a mile a minute and a cloud of dust obscured everything from the view of the spectators who lined the banks on either side. On entering the space which would test his spi'ed. Murphy, in reply to a query, shouted "I'm all right, send her along," but there was no nec essity for his remarks regarding speed, as the engineer was sending the big steam flyer along at top speed. The quarter was reached in 15 seconds and the half in 9 2-5. The timers for the three-quarters were Messrs. Bieges and Stoll, the former registering 4i and the latter A.i 4-5. At the finish two of the watches showed 57 4-5. one 57 3-5 and the rift'i which was held by Sheriff Creamei, 57. The timers agreed that VIEWED WITH ALARM. Commercial Travelers Voice Their Sentiments on Trusts. Albany, July 1. President Dow? in his annual address to the Commercial Travelers' association, in convention here, dwelt upon the effect of the trusts upon commercial travelers, and what the commercial travelers should do un der the circumstances. He declared that he had obtained from the most reliable sources information that 65,000 commer cial travelers had been thrown out of work through trusts and that 25.000 more had had their salaries reduced. One in every ten was affected. In con clusion, President Dowe said: "As to action on trusts I would not advise positive or over aggressive action. As against trusts, we are novices. We would simply get whipped in a hap hazard fight. It would be to our in terest to see whether any one of the great political organizations desires our approval. I have thought a monster non-partisan organization might be formed to fight trusts regardless of politics. We are, undoubtedly, confront ed with a demoralized and un-American situation." The following resolutions -were adopt ed after protracted debates: Resolved, That we. the Commercial Travelers' National league, in conven tion assembled, deplore the organiza tion of trusts; the centralization of cap ital and the curtailment of individual possibilities as a spectes of speculative conspiracy and menace especially to the employment of commercial travelers. Resolved.

Those on the back platform who watched Murphy all through his won derful ride stated that the rider's handle bar had knocked against the rubber buf fer at least six times, and each time the concussion sent him back fully six feet; but Murphy always had strength enough to regain this distance. During the last quarter of a mile the rider cov ered the ground for the greater part fully a wheel's length outside of the hood, but as he passed the finish he was close up. Just then two strong men on board the train reached down and seized the rider by either arm and lifted him aboard the car in safety. Their action undoubtedly saved Murphy's life, be cause he was then in such a weak con dition that had he been allowed to re main on the wheel he would have been unable to control it and a serious if not Ft.

NEW CKEED OF CATTLE Polled Kan sans Originated by Chan cellor F. H. Snow. To Chancellor F. H. Snow of the State university, is due the credit of originating a new breed of cattle. To Judge W. W. Gutherie of Atchison is due the credit of experimenting with and perfecting this new breed and proving that it is a distinct and one of the best all around breeds of cattle known. Some six years ago, while in conversa tion with Judge Gutherie, Chancellor Snow explained to him the evolution of this new breed, rnd from this conversa tion developed th' breed of cattle known as the "Polled Kansans." Judge Guth erie, who owns a'.fine ranch near Atchi son, was much impressed with this new idea ,and opportunities' being favor able, he experimented carefully, and as a result, he has today a large herd of "Polled Kansans." These cattle, as the name implies, are devoid of horns but combine the qualities of being good milkers and good feeders. Mort Albaugh throws bouquets at George A.

Murphy was carried to the front part of the car and laid on a cot. when a physician administered to him and in less than five minutes the cyclist was able to converse with those around him. Murphy seemed dazed at first and said in answer to queries as to why he fell back so many times: "1 did ahat so that I might not come in contact with the planks which were being torn up in front of me." Later on, however, he did not refer to this, but said: "Boys, I've always felt that I could do this. Now that I have done it I am satisfied and so are many others." Before the train had reached Babylon Murphy had regained his normal condi tion. Murphy rode a 28-inch wheel, geared to 120, crank hangers and the weight of the machine was 2Q& pounds. i i DO Si'-- ssi Hi III" CATARRH cured, scrofula, early consumption, bronchitis, asthma, pleurisy, cough, chronic throat disease, blood and skin diseases, heart disease, pains and palpitation of the heart, liver, kidney and bladder troubles, diabetes.
