Cordier, HaTing Been Re leased From Obligations Of Professional Secrecy, Gires Taluable Testimony IN DREYFUS' INTEREST Says Sandbsrr, and Not Henry, ReceiTed the Bordereau. Declares That Henry Was Jealous of Picquart. Former War Minister De Frey cinet Testifies. Rennes, Aug. 29. Gen. Mercier, the former minister of war and most of the other generals interested in the case, were present in the hall of the Lycee this morning when the second session of the fourth week of the trial by court martial of Alfred Dreyfus of the ar tillery, charged with treason, was opened. Col. Cordier, deputy chief of the in telligence department under the late Lieut. Col. Henry who since his prev ious appearance in court, had been re leased by the minister of war. Gen, De Marquis de Gallifet, from his oath of professional secrecy, was the first wit ness called today. He testified to the effect that the late Col. Sandherr and not Lieut. Col. Henry received the famous bordereau. The witness deposed strongly in favor of Dreyfus and was most amus ing in delivering his testimony. He kept the court and even the judges in roars of laughter by his jolly face and a very red nose. The colonel declared that his belief in the guilt of Dreyfus was first shaken whn the date of the bordereau was gi'en as May. The wit ness declared stoutly that he was now convinced Dreyfus was innocent. HENRI WAS JEALOUS. Col. Cordier then spoke up strongly for Col. Picquart as a conscientious soldier and an honorable man and threw light upon the situation which existed in the offices of the intelligence department of the war office. He ex plained that Henry was jealous of Pic quart because the latter was given charge of the statistical section which Henry had hoped to get for himself. Cordier expressed the belief that it was because of Picquart that Hejary permitted his forgery. The evidence of Col. Cordier was delivered in a loud voice accompanied by humorous asides. He several times mentioned the am bassador of Germany which caused the president of the court Col. Jouaust to intervene and tell the witness that he must not introduce the ambassador's name or refer to Germany. The hasty corrections of the witness when he re peated the same slips of the tongue as he did more than once and the amus ing miinner in which he avoided men tioning Germany at other times caused the greatest merriment. During his testimony no fewer than five witnesses rose and asked to be confronted with him. But the colonel received the in terruptions with the utmost good humor. Dreyfus spoke a few words at the conclusion of Col. Cordier's statements. He said the scene which preceded his arrest was so fantastic that it com pletely bewildered him and merely left a blunted impression on his memory, DREYFUS HAS BRACED UP. The prisoner is now accustomed to his surroundings and lias apparently recovered his self-confidence. as he speaks readily and clearly and follows the witnesses closely, taking notes of various points of their depositions. Major Lauth first confronted Col. Cordier and tried to score against him by pointing out that Cordier was in correct in saying there were no anti semites on the general staff since Cor dier himself was one. The colonel re torted turning the tables on the major, as raising his hand he cried: "Quite true. I was an anti-semite but I never bore false witness against the Jew. I am an honest man." The audience applauded these re marks. Col. Cordier then administered a well deserved snub to Major Lauth by re marking that he (the colonel) might be ai,.jFU 10 Know more than Major Lauth with reference to the work of the intelligance since he (Cordier) re placed Col. Sandherr as chief of the department whenever Sandherr was absent while Major Lauth. the witness concluded, "was merely my assistant :Xiy assistant, mark you." Major Lauth did riot enjoy this little scene at all. Gen. Roget next confronted Col Cor dier. The general assumed the same supercilious air which characterized him when he appeared at the witness bar. strutting about the stace in dis dainful attitudes. His evidence how t'hf fWoS, very striWng nor was that of Col. Heur.or Archivist Gribelin who also contested minor points o Cor dier's deposition. Finally Gen.

De Freycinet. however, did not re member the details of the conversation nor could he say if any specific amount was mentioned. M. De Freycinet then alluded to his fears that "attacks on the chiefs of the army might be prejudicial to disci pline," adding, "might not these at tacks lead to the disappearance of dis cipline and what then would be the re sult if we found ourselves in difficulties with a foreign country?" In short M. De Freycinet delivered a patriotic speech. The testimony of minor witnesses concluded the day's proceedings. PROCEEDIXGS IN DETAIL. Following are the proceedings in de tail: The appearance of Col. Cordier, form erly deputy chief of the intelligence department of the war office as the first witness at the Dreyfus court mar tial today aroused great interest, as since his previous appearance the col onel has been released by the minister of war from his oath of professional secrecy. Speaking in firm audible tones, the colonel testified that Sep tember 23, 1S94, he left Paris on a fort nights leave of absence and that noth ing was then known in the statistical department of the war office of the dis covery of treason. Continuing, Col. Cordier said that the day after he returned to Paris, Col. Sandherr. who appeared greatly dis tressed, handed him a copy of the bor dereau on foolscap paper. Sandherr and Cordier animatedly discussed the bor dereau, Sandherr considering it ample evidence of treason. The document was photographed and an investigation was opened, resulting in suspicions against Dreyfus being aroused. Prior to this there was no pre sumption of Dreyfus' guilt. It was Oc tober S that the suspicions of the pris oner's guilt became definite. Witness said he believed the bor dereau arrived at the war office after September 24. He could not say who received it. Very few officers were then aware that treason had been committed. Witness thought it necessary to enter these par ticulars in reply to the statements of his assistant. Major Lauth, before the court of cassation. At this point. Major Lauth, rising in the center of the court, exclaimed: "I beg leave to speak, my colonel." Proceeding with his testimony, Colo nel Cordier said he believed the bor dereau was handed to Colonel Sand herr by Colonel Henry. Cordier then explained what was the "ordinary channel" by which informa tion reached the war office. "THE ORDINARY CHANNEL." "The ordinary channel," the witness said, "was a very clever spy attached to the intelligence department, who had the habit of visiting great houses, but who preferred the company of servants to the company of their masters." Cordier then described the method of piecing documents and showed how the bordereau was pasted together by Henry, who was usually entrusted with such work. The witness said piecing documents possessed fascination for the men who were engaged upon such work, "like the passion of fortune-telling by cards." "Men who have once pieced papers," said the witness amidst laughter, "will always continue to do so." Referring to the spy who has been dubbed as the "ordinary channel," Colonel Cordier said the former did not directly receive the documents from the embassy from which they were ab stracted. A woman, he expralned, serv ed as an intermediary and the ordin ary channel having been closed, it was found necessary to negotiate directly with the intermediary, otherwise the woman with whom rendezvouses were usually made in churches. But as the "ordinary channel's" services were still available elsewhere, his pay was con tinued. Possibly, continued the wit ness, the spy endeavored to renew his relations with the embassy. Such was the situation at the moment of the reception of the bordereau. AS TO THE LEAKAGE. Dealing with the leakage discovered by the military authorities. Colonel Cordier said he ascertained it was oc curring at Bourges. Witness recalled the fact that an ar tificer named Thomas was sentenced for treason in 1S94. The foreign correspondents did not notice his arrest and consequently a letter addressed to him wad intercept ed and a reply was sent. This letter asked for plans of a shell. The head quarters staff obtained the plans and sent them to Thomas' correspondents. The latter replied, thanking Thomas and enclosing bank notes which were credited to the funds of the headquar ters staff. hatever has been said to the contrary, witness maintained that the leakage at Bourges could not be as cribed to Dreyfus. This was also the opinion of Colonel Sandherr, who frequently had recourse to witness' intimate knowledge of this question in the futile efforts to discover evidence against Dreyfus. Cordier's evidence greatly interested his hearers, as he described the var ious leakages. He especially referred to a very serious case designated as leakage of "St. Thomas Acquinas." in which a clerk of the church of St. Thomas Acquinas, Paris, was mixed up in espionage and serious leakage in the ministry of marine. The witness recalled how information of the leakage of 1894 was received primarily. The name mentioned was that of a gentleman 45 years of age and decora ted, who used to convey documents to the embassy which the witness de scribed as a house with a large gar den. Col. Cordier emDhasized the fact that the above personal description did not bear the slightest resemblance to Dreyfus but resembled much more closely another officer whise name had been mentioned and who could no long er be prosecuted, or convicted. The witness then referred to the spv Guenee's denunciations to the effect that officers of the headquarters staff were guilty of treacherv, but the col onel explained that it was very diffi cult to accept Guenee's statement as gospel. Witness regretted Guenee's death, as he said, the court would have been ed ified by his testimony in regard to th manner in which many things were fabricated. LACK OF SPIES. Referring next to what he styled "the huge undertaking of Richard Cuers, La. Joux and company." the colonel de clared the object was nothing less than (Continued on Sixth Pae.) EIGHT JNJURED. Rock Island Flyer Is Wrecked This Morning. Scene of Accident at Keats Near Manhattan. AN OPEN SWITCH. It Was Left by Crew of Freight Train. Three Coaches Thrown' From the Track. No Topeka People In the List of Hurt. East bound Flyer No. 10 on the Rock Island, due here at 7:30 a. m., was wrecked at 5:45 o'clock this morning at Keats, the first station west of Man hattan. The accident was caused by the Flyer running into the rear of a freight train, which had just pulled onto the siding to allow the flyer to pass. The front of the engine was stove in, three passenger coaches were thrown off the track, and two freight cars damaged. The wrecking train was immediately sent out from Fairbury, and a special train with offi cials of the road and surgeons left Manhattan and McFarland for the scene of the accident. Everything pos sible is being done to care for the in jured and clear away the wreck. It is reported in Topeka that no one was killed and the following were in jured Engineer Cuthbertson, foot and ankle sprained. Fireman Crawford, shoulder sprained. E. T. Roach, Mena, Ark., bad cut on arm. Geo. Van Cleves, mail clerk, collar bone broken. Tom Gilbert, Kansas City, Kan., bead ar.d left arm cut. Ed. Hallsy, injured in chest; doctor thinks not serious. Mrs. F. E. McElwel, Peru, Ind., arm bruised. Miss Jennie Raneses, Ferrysburg. Ind., bruise on arm. Train No. 10, the east bound flyer due in Topeka at 7:30 a. m., was behind time and running at high rate of speed. Just before reaching Keats there is a curve which hides the siding from view of trains coming east. The morning was foggy and the engineer did not see the signal which the freight train had sent ahead until he was just rounding the curve. The brakes were immediate ly put on and Engineer Cuthbertson and Fireman Crawford both jumped, receiving slight injuries. The freight train had just pulled on to the siding and three cars were still on the main track. Into these the passenger train crashed, throwing two off the track. The front of the passenger engine was smashed and three cars thrown off track. The passengers did not realize the danger until after the accident oc curred, as at that early hour they were mostly dozing in their seats or asleep. It is remarkable that the casualties were not more severe, as the passenger train was running at a speed of 30 miles an hour when it struck. The wrecker was immediately start ed to the scene of the accident from Fairbury, Neb., and relief trains car rying officials and surgeons from sur rounding towns were on the ground soon after the accident. It will take at least six hours to clear away the de bris and make the track passable. The passengers and injured were brought to Topeka by special train at noon today. The Arion special train, carrying a partyof Arionsover the west and to the Pacific coast, should have followed this train, but on account of the accident, was transferred to the Union Pacific at Clay Center, and brought over that road through Junction City to Topeka. The relief train which was sent to Keats to bring the Rock Island pas sengers and those injured to Topeka arrived in the city at 1:15 this after noon. The train was made up of one freight car, one passenger coach for those not hurt and two cabooses made into hospitals for the injured. The train stayed in Topeka only long enough to change passengers and put on more cars, after which it continued to Kansas City, where the injured will be placed in the company's hospital. Dr. C. M. Stemmon was on the train when the accident occurred and ren dered valuable assistance until the re lief train came carrying Drs. Sherbon, Morton of Keats and Limon of Man hattan. Everything possible was done to re lieve the suffering of those injured and it is almost a miracle that there were not more hurt or killed as the train was running at the rate of 70 miles an hour when it struck the freight train. Some one evidently made a big blun der which resulted in the wreck. The passenger train signalled half mile away from the freight train which was standing on the siding with the rear three cars on the main track. The track was wet from the dew of the morning and the engineer of the passenger train had no orders to pass the freight train at Keats. If the signal torpedo had been placed farther ahead of the freight train, giv ing the passenger engineer time to stop, no accident would have occurred. Plenty of time was had to place this signal ahead, as the freight was on the siding over 45 minutes before the pas senger train came along. The engineer of the passenger train said to some of the passengers that just before the torpedo signal went off that he was timing the train and it was going at the rate of 70 miles an hour. When the torpedo was struck, the brakes were immediately put on, but they did little good and the train was making almost 70 miles an hour when it struck the freight train. The brakes were of no use as the wheels slid on the track. The following stories of the wreck were secured from passengers: T. B. Gilbert, member of city council at Kansas City, Kansas, said: "I was just going out on the platform when the signal went off and started to go back into the chair car but just then we struck.' The glass from the vesti bule broke from the shock and struck my face and arm. The train was going at the rate of over 70 miles an hour as the train was late and was making up time. The accident could have been avoided had the torpedo been placed farther away from trie freight train, which had been left standing on the siding with three cars on main track. "I had 12 stitches taken in my wrist and five in my forehead, but am in good shape otherwise and thankful that I was not hurt worse." H. H. Ashlock of Clyde, Kansas: "I was not hurt, but it was a miracle for we were going at the rate of 70 miles an hour and we struck that freight train hard. I was in the smoker and grabbed hold of seats and braced my self when the crash came. If that tor pedo had been placed on the track far ther away the accident would have been avoided." Geo. Van Cleves, mail clerk: "I saw the danger just after the torpedo went off. I saw the engineer and fireman jump after they had put on the brakes and then I jumped through the door. I lit on my left foot and was thrown to the ground and hit my shoulder and head and broke my collar bone. There is no doubt that the accident could have been averted had the train crew of the freight attended to business. They should have known that the pas senger was going fast and that the torpedo should have been farther ahead than one-half mile, as the track was slippery. "The train was running at the rate of 70 miles an hour for the engineer told me so just after the accident occurred. He said that he had counted the time and it was between 68 and 70 miles an hour that the train was going. I look ed for the cars to telescope and it was a miracle that more were not hurt. The accident was due to the criminal care lessness on the part of the train crew of the freight train in not placing the signal far enough ahead to stop the passenger before getting too close to the freight. I understand also that the engineer of passenger train had no or ders for passing the freight at this point. Webb McNall was in the Keats wreck. "I was in the rear Pullman in an upper berth." said Mr. McNall, "and was awake. The first I knew the car was bumping along on the ties. I did not feel any shock. I got out as quick ly as possible and found all the pas senger cars were right side up. The two last freight cars were badly wrecked and one was on fire. It seems that the freight backed onto the siding and that six cars lapped over the sid ing onto the main track. The brake man went back and put down a torpedo and a fig but the track was wet and when the engineer and fireman heard the signal and saw the train they re versed the engine and turned on the sand and jumped. The train was be hind hand and was making about 70 miles an hour. Ed Roach of Clyde was in the first car and he broke the win dow glass out with his fist. His hand was so badly cut that he was given chloroform when the physicians sewed it up. A man by the name of Goodman from Kansas City was standing in one of the vestibules and was badly cut by glass. "The officials had h"!f a dozen physi cians on hand soon after the wreck and the injured were cared for in the station. The passengers were brought to Topeka as quickly as possible." J. I. Thackray, mail clerk I was in the car working with Van Cleves and when I saw him jump and he hallowed to me to jump quick, I followed him and jumped and lit on my head and shoulders; my head is bruised and I am very sore about the neck and chest but aside from that I feel no bad effects. There is no doubt that there was a big blunder some where. The engineer of the passenger train did not have any orders to pass freight train and the freight train did not put the signal far enough ahead to stop the passenger in time. If the engineer had known of the freight waiting on the siding he would have had the train under control and would have slacked up long before reaching the siding instead of going along at the rate of 70 miles an hour. The passenger train should have been notified of the freight train waiting on the siding. SUCCEEDS FUNSTON. Gen. Joe Wheeler Will Com mand the Kansan's Old Brigade. Manila, Aug. 20. (6:10 p. m.) General Wheeler has been ordered to report to General MacArthur. He will be given com mand of Gen. Funston's brigade which Col. Liscum has commanded temporarily. General Wheeler will proceed to San Fer nando tomorrow after having spent a week in energetically visiting the lines. General Wheeler said to a representa tive of the Associated Press: "I am much pleased with the situation. I think that when Major General Otis gets more troops he will make rapid progress. The country is more favorable for military operations than I supposed. The imrtres sion that the country is unhealthy is wrong." The railroad to Angeles will be restored within a week and General MacArthur will advance his headquarters to that place. TEN DEAD. One More Added to the Victims of tne Chicago Catastrophe. Chicago, Aug. 29. The list of those who lost their lives yesterday in the falling of the heavy iron arches which formed the skeleton of the Coliseum, a huge convention hall in course of construction now number ten. One man, Edward Swanson, reported among the missing, was today added to the roll of death. A companion of Swanson when the accident happened today told the police he had taken his friend's body from the ruins in a hor ribly mangled condition and that it had been taken away in an ambulance. What disposition' was made of it is un known. Samuel Smith. Alexander Mil las. Joseph King and other reported missing, have been accounted for, all having escaped. The hospital authori ties today reported of the injured, John Marsham was in the most serious con dition and will probably die. His skull was fractured, his right leg cut off and the other limb badly crushed. Insurance Company Admitted. The Union Assurance company of London has been admitted to do busi ness in Kansas. This is a new com pany and it has never before trans acted business in the state. The com pany has paid the fees, $156, and the certificate of authority has been forwarded. FEW HOURS LEFT. Registration Books Will Close Tomorrow Evening. Don't Neglect an Important Duty to Yourself and City. "VOTE FOK PROGRESS.'' Rallying Cry-of the Friends of Greater Topeka. State Journal Readers Opinions on Coming Election. The registration books for the elec tion for the city hall proposition close tomorrow evening. If your name i3 not on them by that time you cannot vote for the upbuilding of your city.' People are beginning to wake up as the last hours for registration draw near, but there are not as many regis tering as there should be. There are now 7,400 names on the books, which is an increase of 270 since last Saturday morning. Between now and tomorrow night there should be at least 600 reg istrations, bringing the total up to 8, 000.' The books for the Sixth ward were sent out to Auburndale this morning and will be kept there for the benefit of the people of that section until they close. Remember that the books are open tonight until 9 o'clock and if you have not had time to register during the daytime, go around tonight and see that your name is properly enrolled. Another thing: If you have moved from one ward to another since you last registered you must register again or you will lose your vote. There are always a lot of people who neglect to register and who are always anxious to vote when election day comes. Be sure that you are not among these this time. It is a question of whether the people of the city shall have a place where they can assemble in large gatherings absolutely free of cost or whether they will be compelled to hire inadequate halls for public meetings. It is a question whether Topeka shall be prepared to entertain large conven tions and lodge meetings, which will bring people here from abroad to spend their money in Topeka and to add to the prosperity of the city, or whether all such gatherings shall be driven to other towns which are progressive enough to provide a hall large enough to accommodate such gatherings. It is a question as to whether Topeka shall acquit herself as the capital of a great state should, or whether she shall bring upon herself the ridicule, not only of the state of Kansas, but of all other cities as well. If you are interested in the solution of any of these questions be sure that you are registered before tomorrow night, and then Vote for Progress! Some of the citizens of Topeka have been given the idea that the proposed city hall would only be called into use on an average of two or three times a year for convention purposes, and they are being told that 15 cents a year is too much for each of the citizens of To peka to pay for such a building. This is an erroneous idea. The hall would be used more than any other public build ing in Topeka. A prominent citizen and taxpayer, in discussing this question today, said: "There seems to be an impression among quite a number of voters that the proposed convention hall is intend ed for political conventions only and they express themselves as against the proposition on the score that big politi cal conventions occurring only each al ternate year would not justify the ex pense to the city. They entirely lose sight of the large number of gatherings of fraternal societies that take place each year and that are made up very largely of men that have money to spend, money that would be expended in Topeka among the business houses and thereby increase the ability of the business men to give employment to additional help. Political conventions are comparatively a small item, though a very essential one, in the whole. "Topeka today has no place in which she can hold a meeting of any size. Wrhat was Hamilton hall is now a car riage repository; Representative hall at the state house is so small as to be incapable of seating a thousand people and our opera houses for purposes of large meetings aside from not having adequate seating capacity are entirely unadapted to the purpose. "It is hard to understand, with these facts before them, how any voter can cast his ballot other than favorable to the proposition. It is not at all un reasonable to predict that a room with a seating capacity of at least 4,000 would be used on an average of once each week at least throughout the year." Vote for Progress! The circular issued by the opponents to progress to defeat the city hall pro position is proving a boomerang to their cause. J. A. Davis, who was ap pointed as the free silver member of the board of managers of the state sol diers' home at Dodge City by Governor Leedy, writes the State Journal a let ter in which he states that the circular stirred him to action. Mr. Davis says: "I have read the circular which has been published by the opponents to the city hall proposition, and it is a 'cracker-jack.' I felt very little interested in the auditorium bond proposition un til after I read the knockers' side of the case. I immediately went and register ed so I can vote, and I think now I shall vote for the bonds. "The question every one should ask himself is, do we need the city hall? The people of Topeka are at this time as much in need of that kind of a public building as the people of the state are in need of the state house. The so called obstructionists all say we need it. The absence of large gatherings of various kinds to come to Topeka this fall, where they have nearly always met hertofore, 'convinces every citizen of our capital city that we need an auditorium. I never have cared, nor do I care now, where it is built It is like a man's money, when you make a financial deal with him, you never ask him how he got it, nor where he got it; all you want to know is that he has got it. "The 'kickers (I will call them V their right name) are kicking V cause the city officials would not locate the auditorium building out of town down in the city park, at the mouth o the sewer. When I was a boy I used to try to swim up stream against a swift current in my grandfather's mill race. I would kick, scratch and struggle, and look at an object on the bank and see that I was crawfishing. So you see I have been a 'kicker' but I am not a 'kicker' now against progress. When people living outside of Topeka came to the capital of their state they would hardly expect to find our auditorium out in the country, and to locate it away from the business center of the city is like trying to swim up stream. I suppose the mayor and council fully realize this fact. The city park can be used for a much better purpose. As North Topeka and vicinity is the great agricultural coun try tributary to the city, I would sug gest that the park be used for a city market place. This would benefit the farmer who sells his produce in To peka and knock out the commission trust and enable every consumer to live cheaper and at the same time pay the farmer more than he now gets for what he has to sell. I would suggest to the Commer cial club, that in view of the fact that Omaha, St. Louis. St. Joe, Atchison, Leavenworth and Kansas City all have union depots, they might take up the question of locating one in Topeka, at or near where the Rock Island depot now stands. This ought to satisfy the most enthusiastic "knocker" in North Topeka. All these things and more will come along with the tide of pros perity and good times the enormous crops will bring for the next two or three years. Farmers will be money loaners and merchants discounters, all over the state. They will invest their money in home bonds, if given an op portunity. It seems to me that now is a good time for us to go ahead with public improvements and let up on the old abolition and prohibition legisla tion and past statesmanship. We have eight million dollars more money on reserve in our banks in Kansas now than New York has. This money is seeking profitable investments. We want our full share of it in Topeka. We can not stand still and get it.t An auditorium, a public market and a un ion depot, would distribute millions of dollars in our city, and advance every dollars worth of real estate within the next two years twentv-five per cent or rrore. J. A. DAVIS. Vote for progress! Wichita, Kan., August 27, 1S99. To the Editor of the State Journal: I have been reading a good deal of late about the proposed auditorium proposi tion, about its taxing the poor man, dis honesty in city officials, and many other woes too numerous to mention at this time. A stranger reading these direful tales of woe would naturally conclude that the whole population of our beauti ful city was made up of the worst kind of pickpockets, thugs and thieves. I do not believe that. Topeka is my home and .has been for 15 years. In all of those years it has been my misfortune to travel and earn a living for myself and family away from home, but never for a moment have I lost mv interests in Tnnpks nnrl her success. All that I have on earth is there and I now see no reason for a change. I am as much interested in the success and upbuilding of Topeka as any man. and being away from home most of the lime gives me at least a fair chance to form an unbiased opinion, without preiu diee to either party. 1 for one do not be lieve that when an honest man is e'ected or appointed to office he immediately be comes a thief. I therefore have no sym pathy and not much patience with the cry of dishonesty and rascality that some of our people would attach to the men who are laboring day and night for Topeka and her best interests. I pay some taxes in Topeka. I wish I paid more, and if the city hall proposition makes it necessary to pay 25 or 50 per cent, or even double my taxes, I assure you there would be no kick coming from me. I, like others on the road, am inter ested in this city hall fight, and we are all wondering whether the opponents of progress are afflicted with a genuine case of stomach ache or only a slight attack of wind colic. This is Sunday morning and the nhove are my Sunday morning reflections. I wiil be at home in time to vote for Pro gress and Greater Topeka. AN INTERESTED CITIZEN. Vote for Progress!

Money Collected From Students Amounts to Thousands. Used as a Contingent Fund by the Institutions. The new system of requiring all fees collected by the state institutions ta be turned into the state treasury, adopted by the state auditor and fur which blanks will be sent out thia week, will play havoc with some of the business methods in vogue at the Kan sas university, the State Agricultural college and the State Normal school. These institutions charge the stu dents a small incidental fee. At the normal it is $5 per term. At the uni--versity the fee is from $5 to $25, whila practically the same rule applies at tha state agricultural college. The revenues derived from these sources amount to about $60,000 per year. Not since the institutions hava been established have these fees been, turned into the state treasury. At the three colleges named this money is used for incidental expenses. It has practically been applied in tha place of a contingent fund and pur chases which could not be made with! other funds have been made with this money derived from the students. There is but one law upon this sub ject and that expressly defines that alt such fees shall be turned into the state treasury, to be re-appropriated by the legislature in case that body should sea fit to do so. The Manhattan college wanted a spe cial catalogue printed and it was paM for out of these funds. The auditor found this out and has ordered the money returned to the fund, which, means that the college authorities must get it from their own pockets. At the normal the largest fees are collected. With more than 1,000 stu dents who pay $5 each for each term of twenty weeks, the sum collected amounts to $10,000 annually. This is quite a large sum of money, especially when it is applied to the purchase of supplies which can not be procured in any other manner. The Kansas university fees vary, be ing governed, it is said, by the char acter of the course taken by the stu dent. This is also true at the agricul tural college. With ajl of .these, fees turned into the tate treasury at the opening of the school year and at the opening of the mid-winter terms, the general revenue fund would be largely increased. Mr. Cole expects to Jnsist that all these moneys be turned in, although ic is expected that some resistance v.ill come from the college authorities. CHURCH POWERLESS, Cannot Stop Raids of Irresponsible Insurance Company. The National Church Mutual Insure ance association of Lisbon, la., is caus ing some people in Kansas uneasiness; because of the non-payment of losses incurred by fire. Several complaints have been received by W. V. Church, superintendent of insurance, but Air. Church is powerless to do anything to prevent the further impositions of the company, because he has no jurisdic tion over the association which has; been doing business in the state with out a license. This same company caused consider able trouble when Webb McNall was superintendent of Insurance, anil he is sued monthly bulletins displaying the; fact that the company was unreliable and exhibited a bundle of complaints which he had received as evidence that the company made a specialty of refus ing to pay losses. Mr. Church said today: "I have no jurisdiction over this company because it is not licensed to do business in Kan sas. I can only warn patrons of the company that the company is doing an (Continued on Sixth Page.)

Great Steel Arclies of Chicago's Unfinished Coliseum Come Crashing to the Ground One After Another. CRUSHED TO DEATH. Nine Workmen Are Known to 11 a ?e Been Killed. Others Missing and Thougkt to lie In the 11 u ins. Chicago, Aug. 29. Twelve arches, each weighing 33 tons, which 7ere to have supported the superstructure of the coliseum building in course of con struction on Wabash avenue, between Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets, fell to the ground late yesterday afternoon. It is known that nine lives were crush ed out. The bodies of two men are sup posed to be under the wreckage. Seven are in the hospital with injuries re ceived in the accident, and of these two will surely die, one may possibly re cover and the balance are for the great er part seriously injured. DEAD. CHARLES WALPOT. EDWARD MURRAY. FRANK LOGAN. STEPHEN J. THOMPSON. JOHN FARREY. RICHARD SHERMAN. THEODORE THORN. LEROY FENNEE, workman from Toledo. A. L. NORMAN, workman from To ledo. FATALLY INJURED: John Marshman, fractured skull and fractured right leg. J. J. Dowd, internal injuries, both eyes out. both legs broken. Peter Peletier, right arm cut off at shoulder, skull fractured. John White, skull fractured, internal injuries. MISSING AND BELIEVED TO BE IN THE RUINS: Edward Swanson. Joseph King. INJURED, NOT SERIOUS: Cornelius Toomry. J. H. Warley. John Hawthorne John J. Johnson. David Reardon. H. P. Zimmer. J. F. Flack. J. Hanson. Andrew Morrison. All of the twelve arches were stand ing, the twelfth and last having just been completed. It was the intention of the steel contractors. the Pittsburg Bridge company of Pittsburg, Pa., to turn over its work last night to the general contractors. The iron "trav eler" or derrick, which had been used in the erection of the arches had been removed and the agents of the bridge company were accounting their work as practically completed, when sudden ly and without the slightest prelimin ary warning, the arch last put in place fell over against the one next to it. The weight was too much for this, and it gave away, crashing against the third and one by one the great steel spans fell over to the south, precisely in the same manner as a number of cards would fall. Nearly all the men who were killed were at work on top of the arches, forty feet above the ground. Some of them made futile attempts to slide down the sides of the arches, but be fore they could help themselves, they were hurled to the ground. Many of them uttered piercing shrieks for aid as they fell. Most of them were killed out right by the awful nature of their in juries. The skulls of the unfortunate men were crushed into shapeless masses; their limbs were cut off as if by a monster knife and they were mangled beyond recognition. The immense structure began falling slowly, each arch being sustained by the cross beam supporting the entire structure. As the mass gained impe tus, the bars of iron inches thick, snapped with a loud report and the great mass moved faster and faster in its descent. To the ground with a crash that was heard blocks distant, the structure fell, leaving the walls practic ally uninjured and sending up great clouds of dust and dirt. An immense crowd gathered around the place and despite the efforts of the police who were close at hand, they swarmed over the mass of wreckage, making desperate but ill-directed ef forts to drag out the dead and save the wounded. It was only with the great est difficulty that the police were able to drive back the crowd and give the firemen and uninjured workmen a chance to rescue the injured. That more men were not killed and injured was almost a miracle. Fully fifty men were at work in the space covered by the arches as they fell. A number of the men fell into small ex cavations of which there are many in the ground beneath the steel works, and although some were battered up by their tumble, these were saved from the great masses of steel that crashed down over them. Several of them were standing under the arches when they commenced to fall, and running to the side walls, by great good fortune, hap pened to stand in the space left vacant by the curve of the arches away from the side walls. Had the arches fallen to either side, the loss of life must have been much heavier but they fell true to the south on a line parallel to the side of the building and none of them save the two southern arches fell out side of the space to be occupied by the building. The direct cause of the accident is not known. One theory which receives some support is that a shifting of sand beneath the foundation caused the col lapse of the first arch which brought all the others to the ground. A story which can not be substanti ated is that a number of workmen were using a pulley on the north arch while they were taking down some scaffold ing that had been erected around it They caused the arch to sway and finally it swayed too far and fell over. I can not say what caused the acci dent." said Superintendent Johnson. ,-I could hardly believe my eves when I saw the results of our weeks of work destroyed in a minute." The work of rebuilding will com mence at once and it is exDeeted thai- 1 the accident will delay the opening of nit uuiwing not over one month. No financial loss will fall upon the coli seum company, which is erecting the structure. The only losers will be th Pittsburg Bridge company. The com- pany's loss is estimated at $25,0(10. The coliseum will lose indirectly financially through inability to arrange for attrac tions during the coming winter season. The unfinished building occupied the ground on the east side of Wabash ave nue between Fourteenth and Sixteenth streets on which Libbey prison former ly stood. The structure was -204 feet long by 172 wide and when completed would have been 85 feet high. It was designed for the accommodation of large conventions, expositions, circuses, football games and other affairs of great public attraction. A singuar fatality has attended all buildings erected in Chicago and called coliseum." The first to be erected stood on Thirty-sixth street and like the present coliseum, it collapsed while being built in the fall of 18iH. The side walls of the building had been erected and eleven steel arches had been put in place. It was desirable that it should be speedily finished and the work was pushed night and day. It was the custom of the contractor to allow his men time for lunch between 11:30 p. m. and midnight. During this I half hour, while all men were absent, j all the arches fell to the ground, in- juring nobody, but catising a property 1 loss of about $30,01)0. The building was rebuilt,' and the last national Demo cratic convention was held within its walls. The second coliseum was totally destroyed by fire on the night of De cember 24, :C37, and was never rebuilt. The accident of yesterday brought down the third coliseum which will be at once rebuilt. BOYER ENCOURAGED. Klondike Saloon Keeper Sajs Officials Are Backing Ont. Klondike.near Soldiers' Home, Leaven worth, Kan., Aug. 26, 1899. To the Editor of the State Journal: A Leavenworth dispatch to a Topeka paper is inclined to make the fight on the Klondike political. Two prominent clergymen of the state were here re cently discussing the situation and that phase came up. I said to the M. E. minister, "What party do you belong to?" "I have belonged to and voted the Republican ticket for twenty years," was his answer. Turning to the Catholic father I asked his political affiliations. He replied: "I have al ways belonged to the Democratic party." Then the question came from both as to what party I belonged to. I answered emphatically, "To no party, all parties belong to us." I voted for Morrill, Leedy and Stanley. The liquor men helped the insurance companies and railroads to beat Leedy with full assurance that the Stanley administra tion would not molest our business. The idea of a Democrat or Populist of any standing wanting to enforce sumptuary legislation is a good one. Only a few cranks led by that sweet scented re former, Daniel Anthony, have said anything about suppressing the Klon dike. Now they see the handwriting on the wall and that if they ever set the ball in motion it will sweep Leav enworth and the whole state and they are learning that discretion is the better part of valor. For three whole day3 the Times has been as mum as an oys ter. The thing now is to back out as gracefully as possible. Leavenworth is too busy just now with a whole lot of bum deputies robbing the old sol diers. They are all from the city. As to typewriters in the Klondike we can't use them like they do all those in the Soldiers' Home, but we are im proving and ours always tells the truth and that hurts. It has a whole lot of truth to reveal yet that will make some fellows squirm from the state house to the Leavenworth county attorney. Why don't Anthony and his crowd in form the people that old soldiers are more unsafe in the care of the Leaven worth police than in the Klondike? They have a lovely mayor to assist the sheriff in these little details. They are two of a kind. With all our faults we always tell the truth. Could you have seen the riot and revelry in the two hundred and fifty places in Leaven worth the last three days and nights, and the hundreds of old blue coats piled up in back rooms like cordwood, with the officials taking care of their valuables, you would appreciate why Anthony and Karl Muller want the city let alone. Attorney General God ard can't keep his mouth closed let alone close the Klondike. This week's Lansing News, a Republican paper, ex plains: "It is said the governor has employed Tom Fenlon and Buck Dawes to make the fight for him. If this is true we do not think Stanley and God ard could have found two men in the state who would take this money quicker and do less towards closing the joints." JOHN BOYER. JR. P. S. We are giving you facts and you can bank on them. Many of the 20th to Stay. Lawrence, Aug. 29. A letter received from Colonel Wilder S.

Many women seem to have been denied the precious gift of motherhood be- con- ltion of the pecial organ- tsm which makes mother- 'hood possible: '''JbyiX. in the great majority 01 cases such a difficulty is not bv anv means incurable. In thousands of instances Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, by restoring the natural, healthy condition of the organs distinctly feminine has been the means of conferring upon childless women the one inestimable blessing. A Georgia clergyman. Rev. G. H. Akridge, of Pelham, Mitchell Co., Ga., in a letter written to Dr. Pierce, says: "We had been married six years without offspring, when mv wife com menced taking Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip tion. I then wrote to you for advice, and your instructions were to give Golden Medical Dis covery alternately with the Favorite Prescrip tion.' This we did. The result is restoration of my wife to good health and a ten pound boy. In honor of the world-famed Dr. Pierce, I have named him Pierce. Favorite Prescription is certainly the medicine for invalid women." The vast experience and skill which Dr. Pierce has acquired during his thirty years' practice as chief consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo. N.

Will It Bring a Calm or an Awful Melee. Rennes, Aug. 29. I have been follow ing the stage for many long years. I am acquainted with the stirring stories devised by the most ingenious brains the world has ever known. But the dramatic force and beauty of what is now going on at Rennes fills me with unbounded artistic admira tion. Circumstances and real life have been combined here into a plot which no author would have the mental strength to conserve. I do not know which excites the most wonder, the bold, general outlines of the splendid mass movements with the wealth of colors, or the infinitely clever intricacy and perfection of details. What genius ever revealed the secret workings of human nature as com pletely as we can study them in the course of this trial? Was even Shakespeare capable of conceiving a drama where in struggled so fiercely and logically, and where such intensified or finely contrasted characters were engaged in such a tre mendous situation? We have not yet reached the end, which I expect will be superb. The last curtain will fall eith er upon a scene of great calm, as If peace were descending from heaven to reconcile all the children of France, or upon an awful melee in which brothers w ill kill brothers and French blood will drench French soil. The end is not yet. We wait with it with troubled hearts. HAND OF THE ASSASSIN. But let us speak of what we have so far seen at Rennes. At the close of the first act, when the action is well en gaged, when all the principal charac ters stand out in high relief and the first clash between the two interests and the two factions is expected, the man who embodies the hopes not only of the poor victim whose life is at stake, but of all that is best in the na tion, that champion suddenly falls. The hand of a mercenary murderer strikes him from behind. When the curtain rises again and for a week afterward everything goes wrong. The criminals have things their own way. The partisans of truth ate dismayed and cry after each charge, as defeat seems more certain. We have lost our chief man, the man who could save us. The center of in terest in that whole act is not on the stage, but behind the scenes in that sick room w here the bleeding hero lies, listening to accounts of the legal bat tle brought back by friends maddened by the impudence of the enemies. He o.ten tries to rise and go back to the thick of the fight, only to fall back helplessly. All this time the universal audience is kept in suspense as if by devices of a masterful playwright, after the great shock of the attempted assassination. After the first great discouragement news is brought in from time to time to the scene: "Labori is better," or "Labor! is worse;" now the wound is said to be slight; now there are fears that the spine is injured. And you know that all this Is real; that celebrated doctors are bending over that sick bed. VILLIANS IN THE PLAY. Mercier, Gonze, Roget all the lead ing conspirators go through the same severe alternatives of hope and des pondency as do the partisans of Drey fus, only not at the same moments. They, too, await with the same emo tion the bulletins telegraphed hourly to all corners of the earth, for they fear the turn of the languid and pas sionate young giant who has sworn to spear them all one after the other, and deliver them, with proofs of their crimes, to their executioners. At last the moment came when It was announced that Labori was getting well; that his glorious constitution had worked the miracle. He would be at the trial on the morrow. The morrow came, but Labori, de spite his energy, had fainted when he tried to stand. At this announcement ripples went over the world as over a pond worked by contrary currents. Labori's friends no longer dared be lieve the reports that he would shortly reappear. The other side, with hypo critical show- of sympathy, began to jubilate, believing his condition was graver than was reported, and that fa vorable reports had been circulated only to check their boldness. Tuesday morning the situation was more exciting. Can you imagine how many dramas were worked in the minds of men gathered in that court room before the session opened? For we must remember that all those gild ed .high-priced men knew as well as those about them that they ought to be convicts with cropped hair and striped clothes. JUSTICE CONQUERORS. Ah! how anxiously they are watch ing the narrow door through which La bori would come if he came at all. And suddenly, clad in the majesty of his toga, Labori entered that great hall in which friends and foes were as sembed. He must have appeared the very Incarnation of law and punish ment. He was wounded like Justice, but, like Justice, too, stood strong and unconquered. The news flashed over wires, crossed and skirted continents, and plunged under oceans to our brothers of other races. The momentous climax comes. The distressful suspense over, wounded and suffering though he is, with La bori as our chieftain we are sure of vic tory, of acquittal. Let us hope another battle will not have to be fought to defend the first success. SARAH BERNHARDT.

Milwaukee has signed Atherton, third baseman, late of the Washington club. Manager Selee says he fears Baltimore more than he does Brooklyn or Philadel phia. For which position? Tebeau is still experimenting with Don lin, who may be given a few days' trial in the outfield. Both McGuire and Daly are batting bet ter for the Brooklyn team than Joe Kel ley. Keeler easily leads the team in bat ting. McGraw still leads the league in. runs scored. He averages about l'A run per game. The Washington club will sell Winnie Mercer but tor cash only. No trades will be considered. The Milwaukee team of the Western league has been shut out eleven times this season, leading the league in this respect. Baltimore has seven men batting above the .300 mark. Thev are McGraw, Keister, Fultz. Brodie, Crisham, Holmes and La, Chance. The Philadelphia club announces that Dick Coolev will not be released this sea son. He will do bench duty until he re turns to his home in Kansas. The New York players express a decid ed preference for the Phillies in the mat ter of the championship. This will not in crease the Quakers' chances. Several league clubs are after Hooker, the star pitcher of the Albany team of the New York state league. Pittsburg, Chicago and Boston are the strongest bid ders for his services. An exchange says: Young Crisham claimed he was too fast to go in a minor league. Looks as if he was right. He has batted for .315. Boston Herald: In his 12 games with Baltimore DeMont has batted .377. Is some one fattening his averages now? Wagner, please answer. Jimmv Stafford, the new Senator, batted at a .320 clip for the Champions, and thus leads the Senators at the bat. Selee predicted early last season that Hickman would finally bloom as an out fielder because of his natural batting tal ents. It is announced that Joe Kelley will try to metamorphose himself into a third baseman. The Brooklyns have been weak on that corner all season. The Louisville club makes the announce ment that neither Waner., Leach, Wad dell nor any other member of the Louis vilel team yill be sold. It is a sensible re solve if the club only sticks to it. De Montreville will outbat Dahlen at least 40 points on the season. Dahlen's steady neldings in Brooklyn has made up for his weakness with the stick. The Chicago team has discarded the maroon-colored stockings and appeared in hos of dark blue. The liability to poison from the maroon dye in case of players With cut or chafed legs was the main rea-so-i for the change. Frank Bonner of Washington, is one of the steadiest surest fielders among the s cond basemen of the major league, and his improvement since his return to" the bi-r league is due in a large measure to physical condition. In all the games Boston and its oppo nents have played since the team return ed the center fielder has led in the bat ting order. Hamilton, of course for Bos ton: Slagie for Washington: Dowd for Cleveland: McBride for Cincinnati: Hoy for Louisville and Jones for Brooklyn. Boston Globe. COOLER PERMANENTLY OFF The Topeka Player Still Under Full Pay, and Reports at the Grounds Daily. The Sporting Life contains the fol lowing newsy letter pertaining to Dick Cooley: It is settled that Dick Cooley will play no more with the team which he brought so high in the race and han dled so ably that the spirit which he in fused has not even yet quite died out, though he has been off the team for two weeks. Colonel Rogers will have no more of Cooley, and as he is the controlling power in the club that quite settled it; and that bfing the case there is no reason why there should be anv worry over the good or ill effects of the colonel's tudden movo, on the part of those who have nothing more at stake than the welfare of the sport in this patient and longr-suffering city. The colonel's conviction that he did j the right thing at the right time is un- j shakeable. No stronger illustration of his resentment toward Cooley could be furnished than the fact that with the team further weakened through the accident of Flick, Cooley, who is an outfielder, is kept on the bench, and Chiles, an infielder, is put in Flick's place, and the team is sent on the road thus hooked up. As to Cooley he has become recon ciled to the situation and accepts it philosophically. He has gotten over his soreness, and now says he has no desire to ever again play for the Phil adelphia club. Though still under full pay and with nothing to do but report at the ball park daily, he has asked for his release. This, lie says, has been re fused, but he has been given permis sion to negotiate with any other club. This he thinks shows that the club in tends to sell or trade him.

And so passes the best team captain. Philadelphia ever had, not even barring- Arthur Irwin: and the only good accomplished by his retirement, aside from carrying out a managerial policy regarding deportment, is to weaken a once powerful team at a time when it could least bear weakening; to break a harmonious and winning combination and to split a united loyal following of critics and patrons Into Cooley and anti-Cooley factions, whose recurring and ever-widening contentions will maintain strife long after the original cause shall have become merely a local memory. Since Cooley's retirement the team has been shut out twice, it has won but one double figure victory, it has not played an errorless contest, it Is aver aging less than 8 hits per game, it is making fewer runs than any other team, and it is running bases very poorly. Moreover, despite the fact that Cooley was deposed to "strengthen the fielding," the team's fielding is worse than at any time this season.

Kef used to Haul the Band and Pumpkins WITHOUT EXTRA PAT So the Exhibit Coaches Were Taken on a Northern Tour. The Baud Bojs Are Now Work ins Back Home. Syl Dinox's flour train -which at tracted such a large crowd while in this city recently at the Rock Island depot, came to grief at Chicago. The Baltimore Ohio, which was to pull the train from Chicago to New York, wouldn't pull the exhibit car without a payment of freight to equal that of any other car in the train, or full fare for all the men- engaged as speakers and belonging to the band. No provis ion was made for any such deal as this and it spoiled all the plans. It is not known just what led to the misunder standing. It was supposed that the Baltimore had agreed to have the train on some such terms as the Kock Is land had made, and that road was ad vertised in such connection. But when it came time for the train to leave the Baltimore Ohio wouldn't pull any tinsel. They took the flour cars at full freight rates for their loads and that was all. Mr. Dixon then took his exhibit coaches on a tour through Minnesota and will stop at Omaha on his way home. Most of the band boys went from Chicago to "Milwaukee on an ex cursion steamer and then started for home. AWAY FROM LA JUNTA. Santa Fe Will Move Division Head quarters to Colorado Springs, Says a Dispatch New Depot Master. Denver, Aug. 29. "E. J. Hawkins is hereby appointed depot master at Colo rado Springs, duties to begin at once," was the bulletin over the Santa Fe that created some gratification among the older railroad men in Denver yester day. "Why I used to run with 'Jones' Hawkins," exclaimed Captain Lon Pierce at the depot last nignt, "and he was one of the squarest railroad men that ever got on a train. Why, there wasn't a better liked man out of Chi cago or St. Louis several years ago than Hawkins and all the old-timers swear by him. so they do." Hawkins has been working on the Colorado Midland for several years. He was known as the most polished and gentlemanly employe on the road and when Superintendent Dyer, of the San ta Fe, was looking around for a good man who could be depended upon to take the entire responsibility of handl ing the recently increased business at Colorado Springs, he offered the place to Mr. Hawkins and appointed him even before the positive acceptance was received. The depot at the Springs is now one of the most important in the state. It ranks second to Denver on account of the great amount of business handled. The Santa Fe, Gulf and Midland trains all come in there. All the available ground in the yards is being covered with new tracks and the depot itself ia being more than doubled in size, stone additions being built at each end. As soon as the room is completed the Santa Fe division headquarters will be located there instead of at La Junta. A double track between Denver and Pueblo is another improvement de cided upon. QUEER CASE OF DONAHUE. The Santa Fe Conductor Still Suffers Pain In an Arm That Was Amputated. Conductor James Donahue, who had his arm run over by a train and so badly mashed as to necessitate ampu tation at the Santa Fe hospital in this city, is a witness of the peculiar fact that persons who undergo amputations often suffer pain in the lost member or members. Mr. Donahue says that at times the pain he feels in the arm that was amputated is almost unbearable, and that it constitutes practically all his suffering since he has been in the hospital. Chief Surgeon Kaster tells of an In stance of the same kind which came to his attention not long ago. An employe had one of his hands amputated, and a few days after the amputation he com plained that something was cutting into the palm of the amputated hand with such force as to cause intense pain. When the hand was taken off the fingers were doubled against the palm. The hospital attendants unearthed the hand, and on straightening out the fingers found a large, sharp pebble imbedded in the palm. The member was then burned and the man suffered no further pain. A UNIQUE ADVERTISEMENT. Rock Island Will Place a Natural Painting of Their Colorado Flyer at Garfield Park. The Rock Island railroad is about to place an advertisement which will be both conspicuous and ornamental. All those who have visited Garfield Park recently have no doubt noticed that portion of the tight board fence, which is built up high er than the surrounding fence, just south of the gate. This higher piece of fence is 21 feet bv 40 feet arid is surrounded by a heavy moulding, which will give to it the form and appearance of a framed picture, when the advertisement is place.! thereon. As a proper and fitting advertisement, the Rock Island advertising department have decided upon a reproduction of their "Colorado Flyer" done in colors and rep resenting a night scene. The "Flyer" will be shown in detail with color reproduced, and will show it speeding along at an ap parent rate of sixty miies an hour, with some of the beautiful scenery which lies along this route, as a back ground. The "Fiver" will be made up of the following equipment: Engine, baggage car. smoker, chair car. two Pullmans and a diner, all lighted and givn as near a night view as possible. In front and a little to the side of the track, will be placed the trade mark of the Rock Island route, and on this will shine the rays of the electric headlight, with which the engine is equip ped. The artists who have the contract for this picture have all arrangements made and are expected to begin work im mediately. TO LIVE IN DENVER. F. C. Gay Can Attend to His Mining Interests Better In Colorado. Mr. F. C. Gay. who lately resigned as general freight agent of the Santa Fe, will remove from Topeka and make his permanent home in Denver. He iikes the Colorado city, and a residence there will enable him to better attend to his mining interests. Mr. Gay form erly lived in Denver during the period the general freight office was located there. Shipments of ore are being made reg ularly from Mr. Gay's copper mine in California, and it is now paying hand somely. Negotiations are on for the sale of the mine, and if sold the price will be at least three-quarters of a mil lion dollars. P. O. GOES TO COURT. Secures an Injunction Against the Twelve Boycotting Roads. St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 29. On applica tion of Samuel W. Fordyce and Web ster Withers, receivers of the Kansas City, Pittsburg Gulf railway. United State Circuit Judge Thayer, in cham bers, late yesterday afternoon, issued an order restraining the twelve western railroads which recently inaugurated a boycott against the Gulf road from continuing their campaign. September 21 was set as the day on which the de fendants shall show cause why the in junction should not be mane perma nent. The boycotting roads are enjoined from cancelling joint tariffs and divi sions of rates for the transportation of freight which existed on August 16, and from refusing to receive, deliver and transport freight according to the joint tariffs, arrangements and agree ments for the transaction of business and divisions of rates which existed at that date. KILLED WHILE HUNTING. Rock Island Brakeman Accidentally Shoots Him3elf at Pratt. Pratt, Aug. 29. Andy Harris, the Rock Island brakeman, who accident ally shot himself while hunting plover Sunday, died yesterday. Mr. Harris was in company with another of the railroad boys, and the gun fell from the buggy. It was discharged, the load grazing Harris leg and entering the left arm near the body. He was in a dying condition before town was reached and the physicians were un able to save him. He leaves a wife and child. Harris came here last week to take the place of Chas. Huxtable, who was injured and taken to a Topeka hospital, where the surgeons said he would die. His run was between Pratt and Lib eral. CAUSE OF THE WRECK. Engineer and Conductor of East Bound Rock Island Held Equally Responsible. At the Rock Island depot yesterday afternoon an investigation was held to inquire into the causes of the Satur day evening wreck, in which two Rock Island trains collided, near Muncie, a few miles out of Kansas City. The in vestigation resulted in placing the blame on the east-bound train and the engineer and conductor were held equally responsible for the accident. LAID WITH OIL. Union Pacific Gives the .New Dust Layer a Fair Trial. The Union Pacific intends to make a thorough test of the use of crude oil to lay the dust. Thirty-five miles of the road west from Cheyenne Wells, on the Kansas division, will be sprinkled with oil just as fast as it can be done and the results closely watched. It it proves successful the rest of the division into Denver will be given a coat of oil. Santa Fe Freight Ditched. "Wichita. Aug. 29. A Santa Fe south hound extra freight was wrecked at Dale, a little town north of Winfield. Six cars of wheat were ditched, but no one was hurt. A car in the middle of the train jumped the track on a switch frog and four others, with the caboose, followed. Big piles of wheat were heap ed up on the track and a switch had to be built around to get other trains along. Reserve Engines Called Out The reserve engines which the Santa Fe have stored in the Sixth street roundhouse are already being called in to use. One of these engines was ta ken out last week for service here, and two more, Nos. 71 and 77, were yester day taken out and examined and sent west for immediate service. There are still several more engines stored there, which will undoubtedly be called into use, if the freight and passenger traffic increases, which it gives promise of do ing. Has Some Rare Plants. Harry Goodrich of the south shops has one of the finest collections of choice flowers and plants in the city. Among the collection is a calladium or elephant ears as it is some times called, which gives promise of blooming to day. These plants have been known to bloom before but it is a very rare thing for them to bloom as they are prized for their huge leaves which attain a size sometimes of forty inches across. Mr. Goodrich lives at 712 Topeka ave nue. LAS VEGAS OPTIC NOTES. Brakeman Ixtzier of Raton expects to go in a day of two to Denver.

Jerome "was thrown into a fever of excitement today by the sudden appearance of a band of Apaches in war paint. Leaders of the tribe stopped and purchased a largo sup ply of ammunition and hastily left for Hed Rock. The band was composed ex ciusiwlv of bucks. A mounted correspondent of the Asso ciated Press overtook the Indians a few miles from Jerome and after considerable persuasion was permitted to accompitny them on the journey of twenty miles over the roughest country imaginable. In a canyon with perpendicular walls rising to a height of hundreds of feet were the remains of a camp fire and nearby the wigwam. In front of the wigwam was the body of a squaw and papoose, while a few rods in front lay a buck. All three had been horribly mutilated and scalped. The hands and feet were cut oft". The Indians formed a circle about the bodies and on the dismembered bodies swore to work an awful vengeance. The name Zuni occur red many times. The bodies were buried near the scene of the crime and the band took the trail to the north. The Zunis are a New Mexico tribe while the Apaches are of Arizona. A bitter en mity has existed for years between the tribes, but a truce has put an end to hos tilities for a long time. The three murdered Indians had left their reservation near Camp Verde, and were surprised by a band of Zunis. The Apaches took the trail in the direc tion of Xew Mexico and old settlers fear that a furious outbreak will follow and end in the extermination of one of the tribes. There are no soldiers within reach and the settlers are not disposed to inter fere in the expected outbreak. DESCRIPTION OF THIBET. Two Englishman Travel Through the Mysterious Land. Tacoma, Wash., Aug-. 29. Two Eng lishmen, E. Amendsen and J. Bonin, have just traversed Chinese Thibet.sit uated in the southwestern corner of See Chuan Province. This country has heretofore been a closed book to for eigners, no Europeans having previous ly penetrated it. Amendsen and his companion bring much Interesting in formation. Everything in this part of Thibet bears the stamp of poverty, but the moral status of the people is much above that of their wealthier neighbors of adjoining provinces. Robbers are unknown and travel is safe. The roads are mountainous and baggage animals scarce. This Thibetan district is divided into the kingdoms of Mill and Chalag. The supreme authority in each is in vested in a priest-king. The king of Mill spends his time between three dif ferent lamaseries, the principal one be ing Miligenchen, where 300 lamas live. Three days before reaching this place Amendsen met the king at his Wajin lamaseri, and vas courteously received. The king stated that his people were poor, but honest. He rules them with an iron hand, severely punishing all wrongdoing;. The kingdom of Chalag is more populous and wealthy. Gold is known to exist there in paying quanti ties. Chinese attempted to work it, but the Thibetans rose against them, driv ing them out with great loss. In Cha lag Amendsen passed a large cave which the natives claimed was five days' journey in extent. Li Hung Chang and his brother. Li Han Chang, have been recently buy ing up a large amount of land near the foreign settlement in Wu Hu. Investi gation shows the reason for this to be that the Chinese government has de cided to open a commercial port there, on similar lines to Woo Sung. Earl Li learned this at Pekin, and immediately sent out agents to purchase all the available property within the proposed new port. Japanese newspapers announce a case of bona fide introduction of foreign capital without official intervention. The amount is said to be 1,000,000 yen, with interest at 6 per cent. The bonds sold at 02. They run for thirty-six years, but redemption is allowed after ten years. The money was raised for the Kobe water works. That municipal ity desired to borrow 2,000,000 yen, but the American Trading company would guarantee only 1.000,000. half of which was due August 15. and the remainder by December 15. J. Pierpont Morgan of New York, is stated in Japan to have made the loan. Efforts are being made to further interest him. WAS TOO QUICK. A Father Kills Himself on Strength of a False Report.

LETTER READ ALOUD At an Immense Gathering In Elizabethtown. The ouisTilIe& NashTille Con trolled by Belmonts. Louisville, Ky., Aug. 29. A sensation was created at Elizabethtown when Sen ator William Goebel, during an address before 3,000 people, read a letter sent him by August Belmont, who o;je'ly declares the Louisville and Nashvilla railroad is leading the fight against Democracy in Kentucky. Senator Goebel and Air. Black burn were cheered time ano" again by the big it-ass of people. Belmont's letter in full ir. as follows: "Xew York, Aug. IS. Hon. William Goebel. Kenton, Ky. My Dear Sir I no tice in a copy of the Courier-Journal, dat ed Sunday, August 13, the following para graph from a speech made by you at Mavrield: 'The Louisville and Nashville railroad company is controlled by the Belmonts. who are and for many years have been the American representatives of the Rothschilds and Mr. Belmont is the chair man of the executive board of the ilireo torv of the Louisville and Nashville Rail road companv. The Cleveland and Car lisle gold bond sale contract was signed bv August Belmont Company on behalf of Messrs. Rothschild Son of London and themselves, and none other have a greater interest in maintaining a single gold standard than the Rothschilds and the Belmonts, because they are the larg est holders of American securities on earth. "The agency through which they can more effectively work in Kentuckv is the Louisville and Nashville Railroad com pany. Now, as in lbiai, that corporation employs every known engine of coercion and intimidation against the Democratic party, and now, as in 1S!6, it uses the monev gathered by it from the people of Kentucky to send broadcast over the commonwealth many thousands of free copies of newspapers that it has subsi dized, containing every assault upon the Democratic party and its candidates that malignity and mendacity can invent. "I am not a citizen of your common wealth, and. therefore, should not pre nme m mpflrlle with nolitics which are I purely local, but, inasmuch as you have i deemed it policy to make the above state ment, l assume me pnvut-g currencv to mv unqualified repudiation of its truth. I am the chairman ofthe Louisville and Nashville Railroad, whose stockholders are very equally divided be tween Europe and this country, and there were at the time of the last election 1.U3S stockholders of the company, divided be tween Europe and America, and on nn average, stockholders represented by 33'.:, UO0 to 360. 000 shares of both classes, out of a total of shares, have sent me their proxies to vote annually ever since mv 'official connection with the company. "Such has been my purpose and I must presume that the stockholders nave been satisfied, or they would not have me in mv present position, for there is no influ ence or control of stock which I personal ly or Messrs. Rothschilds direct which could effect the result contrary to the general wishes of the shareholders. The corporation, under the management of Milton H.

"If in order to gain adherents to your political ambition in the state you en deavor to create a prejudice of the people against the L. N. R. R., and trv to ex cite animosity and legislation destructive to its interests, the L. N. R. R. is driv en to take the best means within the law and its right to meet such attacks, and this it is now doing by bringing before the public the arguments which are at its command to counteract the evil influences of your unjustifiable hostility. The com pany takes no part in politics, nor does it intend to in order to promote or undo the political fortunes of any party or indi vidual, and its present attitude has no such purpose in view. "Believe me yours respectfully. "AUGUST BELMONT, "Chairman." SUSAN B. ANTHONY ABROAD From the Washington Post. Two little stories are told about that stanchest exponent of Democratic and Re publican institutions, Susan B. Anthony. On one occasion she actually undertook to introduce one of the greatest lords in the kingm to two poor little girl employes on a London paper, and, as if this were not sufficiently heinous, she told him franklv that she had forgotten his name. He did not tell it to her. and if Gibson could have caught the expression of his lordship's face he might have produced his masterpiece. At another time she was invited to a swell luncheon to meet Princess Chris tian, the queen's daughter. After shaking hands with her and talking a few min utes Miss Anthony sat down. Presently some one came and told her she must not sit while royalty was standing. Some of her friends say that her eighty ye'trs and the fatigue from the strain of the past weeks iustif.ed her in sitting. Others say that she could have stood up two hours if she had had a suffrage speech to make, but that the awful breach of etiquette was due to that spirit of her Quaker an cestors which made them face death rath er than take off their hat to a kins;. Miss Anthony herself only laughs and "refuses to be interviewed." Enjoy Life. How we all desire to enjoy good health; to enjov life as our neighbors do: to laugh and have bright.

Walter Well man, the leader of the Wellman Polar expedition, who returned to Tromsoe, Norway, August 17. after having suc cessfully completed operations in Franz Joseph land, arrived here yesterday. He walks with the aid of crutches, his right leg, -which was seriously injured by a fall Into a snow covered crevasse, while Mr. Wellman was leading his party, still being useless. The explorer was accompanied by the American members of the expedition, who are well. In an interview with a representa tive of the Associated press, Mr. Well man said: "The object of the expedition was two-fold to complete the exploration of Franz Joseph land, of which the north and northeast parts were prac tically unknown and to reach a high latitude or even the pole itself. Tne first object was successfully accom plished. The second would have been achieved, at least to a greater extent than by previous explorers, but for the accident to myself." Mr. Wellman recounted the starting of the expedition from Tro-isoe, June 26, 1S98; how it reached Elmwood, the headquarters of the Jackson expedition July 28, and hoisted there the stars and stripes underneath the union jack, which had been flying over the deserted settlement for nearly two years. The provisions left for Prof. Andree, the missing aeronaut, were found by Mr. Wellman untouched. After leaving letters about his expe dition and taking a collapsible house with him, Mr. Wellman proceeded due east for Cape Tegelhoff and arrived there July 30, 1898. There the party landed all the stores and the steamer returned to Norway. "We established our headquarters in the little house brought from Jackson's headquarters," continued Mr. Wellman, "over which flew the stars and stripes. "Desiring to push further north with the greatest speed, I dispatched Bald win August 5th, with the Norwegians, sledges, dogs and boats, myself and others intending to follow in a few days. "Shortly after Baldwin's departure, I discovered that owing to a sudden break up of the ice, I was unable to proceed, but I sent two Norwegians to inform Baldwin to build his outpost, leave two men in charge of it and re turn to my headquarters." Here, Lieutenant Evelyn B. Baldwin, of the weather bureau, told of the do ings of his expedition. He said: "September 21 my party reached Cape Heller, in latitude 81, where we decided to make an outpost. From the very outset we had a constant fight with the high seas, ice and wind and there was a continual fog. The ice underneath us parted with terrific crashes, leaving us adrift on small floes. Here we built a station and called it Fort McKinley. We stocked it with blubber and meat and, leaving there two volunteers, Ventzen and Bjervig. I started to return October 22, to Mr. Wellman's headquarters, arriv ing there October 30, In safety in spite' of great hardships, cold, darkness and ice. "The party spent the winter comfort ably in Harmsworth house, which was completely buried in snow. They killed many bears. "Mr. Wellman, February 18, 1899, with Norwegians, sledges and dogs, started north." Mr. Wellman. continuing, said: "February 26, 1899, I arrived at Fort McKinley. Bjervig, rifle in hand, stood at the mouth of the snow tunnel. He wrung my hand and with tears in his eyes, said: 'Poor Ventzen is dead." "Of course you have buried him? I said. 'No, Bjervig replied, 'he lies there," pointing to the hut. 'I have kept my promise.' "The two men had made a compact that in case of death, the survivor should keep the body until help came. In the little hut the quick and the dead had slept side by side through two months of Arctic darkness. "Bjervig said he had managed to keep up his spirits by reciting aloud Ibsen's poetry. "The next day we gathered stones and under the sea we buried our dead comrade. A few fitting words were spoken as we stood around in seventy degrees of frost. "After a delay of ten days, the party, including Bjervig pressed north in sledges and by march until we reach ed 82 degrees east of Rudolf island. "The prospects then were most reas suring. We had three months of the best season before us and were confi dent of preaching 87 degrees. Though, of course, we had suffered from cold, we were all in form. "Then a seemingly trivial accident turned the advance into a precipitate retreat. While struggling with the sledges in rough ice. my right leg was bruised and sprained by my falling in to a hidden crevice. For two days I went on, and unless othercircumstances had occurred, I should have pressed onward so far that I would never have been able to return alive. At midnight, March 22, we were awakened by the crashing of the ice under our feet. It swayed and deep crevices yawned about us. Several dogs and sledges were crushed. In the darkness and storm it was impossible to see a patch of safety. Expecting to be overwhelm ed at any moment by the ice, we scrambled over the field of ice and saved most of our equipment except the dog food, reaching a place of safety in half an hour. "Our brave Norwegian comrades did not express the slightest fear. While it was possible to go on for a time, my leg now demanded a retreat. For two or three days I stumbled along, until I fell. There was nothing to do then but get a sledge and be dragged back to headquarters by the men and dogs. Forced marches by my devoted comrades saved my life. "The point at which we turned back was twenty-five miles northwest of Freeden islands, where Dr. Nansen landed in 1S95. North of these islands we photographed three islands and some large land, unseen either by Payer or Nansen. We also found that Payer's so called over glacier does not exist. "I still believe it is possible to reach the pole by Franz Josefland. But I can not say if I shall make another effort." After Mr. Wellman's return to Harmsworth house, April 9, Baldwin and four Norwegians went out to W7il czek land, charting the unexplored east coast and discovering a new ice cover ed island extending to 64 degrees east, almost as large as Wilczek land. They named it Graham Bell land, after the president of the American Geographi cal society. Baldwin, returned to the base April 30. A. Harlan, of the United States coast survey, also took a separate trip be fore the united expedition sailed July 27, on the steamer Capella. A fairly complete survey of the archi pelago has been prepared by Mr. Well man and his party. They all show traces of hardship. The faces are'pale and drawn, and Wellman is much thin ner than formerly. His right leg is drawn up a foot from the ground and it is not known yet whether he will ever again use it. He will consult a Sick Women Advised to Seek Advice of Mrs. Pinkham. LITTE TO UMS.

Other doctors prescribed strong and violent medicine, and one said I was incurable, another told me my only salvation was galvanic batteries, which I tried, but nothing relieved me. One day a f riand called and begged ma to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I began its use and took several bottles. From the very first bottle there was a wonderful change for the better.

On board the Eldorado, the Norweg ian mail boat which brought the party from Bergen to Hull, Mr. Wellman was the center of attraction, and on ar riving at Hull the passengers gave him a cordial send off. The party proceeded Immediately to London. DUPES AND THEIR MONEY. Claimants of European Estates Try to Get Back Their Cash. New York, Aug. 29. A Times special from London says: Thatcher, the man who is accused of swindling citizens 'Of Ohio, Michigan and other cities tried to commit sui cide yesterday by taking a huge dose of chloral, on account of the many Americans who came here for the pur pose of getting back the money which he had induced them to give him in order that he might secure for them large unclaimed sums in chancery. The visitors found his English wife and told her their story. Thatcher lives in a different part of the town from his wife. The latter saw him and told him. that the Americans seemed determinfed to get their money. He promised to see them, but instead of doing so he took the chloral, evidently feeling that he was at the end of his rope. His wife's mother seemed to guess his intention and sent the wife back to him. She found him almost at his last gasp. A doctor was called in and an antidote was administered. The doc tor said that the man would have been dead in another ten minutes. Thatcher is still prostrated, but was able to send word to his victims that he would be able to prove his honesty of pur pose. Thatcher is without money and his dupes, who thought to get back their own, will lose the expenses of their trip and get nothing but experience for their trouble. G. A. It.

THE ISSUE IS MADE. The issue of the next campaign is made. In spite of what this or that person or party may desire territorial expan sion is to be the point of attack and defense. The challenge of Mr. Bryan and his followers, who declare that the Philip pines should be treated like Cuba has been accepted by President McKinley. In his speech delivered at Pittsburg yesterday on the occasion of the cele bration of the Tenth Pennsylvania's return, the president took up the gage of battle, when he declared: "Peace brought us the Philippines, by treaty cession from Spain. The senate of the United States ratified the treaty. Every step taken was in obedience to the requirements of the constitution. It became our territory and is ours, as much as the Louisiana purchase, or Texas, or Alaska." And in the course of the same ad dress: "Until the treaty was ratified we had no authority beyond Manila city, bay and harbor. We then had no other title to defend, no authority oeyona mat to maintain, cpa.ui as still in possession or tne remainder or the archipelago. Spain had sued for peace. The truce and treaty were not concluded. The first blow was struck by the insurgents. Our kindness was reciprocated with cruelty, our mercy with a Mauser. The flag of truce was invoked only to be dishonored. Our soldiers were shot down when minister ing to wounded Filipinos. Our human ity was interpreted as weakness, our forbearance as cowardice. They as sailed our sovereignty and there will be no useless parley no pause until the insurrection is suppressed and American authority acknowledged and estab lished." And again: "While we give you hail and greeting from overflowing hearts, we do not for get the brave men who remained and those who have gone forward to take your places and those other men who have so promptly volunteered, crowd ing each other to go to the front, to carry forward to successful completion the work you so nobly began. Our prayers go with them and more men and munitions if required for the speedy suppression of the rebellion, the estab lishment of peace and tranquility and a government under the undisputed sovereignty of the United States a government which will do justice to all and at once encourage the best efforts and aspirations of these distant people and the highest development of the rich and fertile lands." The president's words admit of but one interpretation. While he is able to prevent it, the Philippines will not be surrendered to any body, native or foreign. His policy is one of annexation and on that he is willing to go before the country next year. BRIGHT PROSPECTS. Henry Clews, in his Wet-kly Finan cial Review, takes the following rose ate view of the business future of the country: The activity of our industries far ex ceeds anything ever witnessed in the past: nor is there anywhere an indi cation of impending overproduction nor of any reactionary tendency; and what is still more important, producers have now a guaranty they never had before, in the rapid growth of their abilitv to command foreign outlets for' any pos sible surplus in the home markets. At the beginning of the summer there were some uncertainties in the situa tion which produced a degree of hesi tancy in the securities market and made operators the more willing to take a breathing spell after several euecessi-e months of extraordinary ex citement. Those obstacles have now disappeared. The crops, taking them as a whole, are more than a good aver age. Our grain market may be ex pected to receive the stimulus of an other season of short crops in other countries; and, judging from the pres- ent temper of business on the produce exchange, it seems possible that while the quantity of our exportable surplus of cereals may not fully equal that of the last two seasons, yet their aerere- j gate value may easily approximate that or either of those years., too that ap pearances indicate the probability of a continuance of the remarkable creditor foreign balances that have marked the fiscal years 18&7-8 and 1898-9. These are prospects the importance of which it u hul catty iu eiaBBciate. Prosperous conditions continue throughout the land, and the wave ad vances rather than recedes, with brig'rt prospects ahead. A larger number of working men are employed today on terms satisfactory to themselves and their employers than ever before in the national history. Discontent is nowhere justifiably to be found. It is true grievances creep out occasionally here and there, but they are not of ser ious consequence. The demand has fairly caught up to the supply in every thing. There is little selling ahead. The business of the country is on a legiti mate basis and devoid of boom, which is the best evidence of its substantial and lasting character. Now that the crops are assured and the money scare has passed over, the impetus to push business ahead can be relied upon for the balance of this year at least, there by making it the best record year ever experienced in business circles. A TRUST REMEDY. The Chicago Record, discussing? the trust problem, declares that; While congress possesses no direct jurisdiction to regulate corporations. it has unlimited power to tax their earnings, their securities issued and their dividends. An annual tax can be collected on all their stocks, and this tax can be graduated so to fall lightly or not at all on the small legiti mate companies, but heavy enough on the large concerns to squeeze all the water out of their capital. A good fea- ture of guch a Jaw would be a tax of say, ten per cent annually, like the tax on state bank notes, on all securities issued in excess of the actual property ot a company. Another necessary fea ture would be a heavy tax on the pay ment or excessive dividends or the ac cumulation of profits in excess of the amount necessary to pay a reason able return to the investor Such a law collecting a prohibitive tax on exces- five issues of securities ami excessive dividends and profits, would draw the fangs of the trusts and make them harmless, while preserving to the pro ducer and consumer the advantages of consolidation. GLOBE SIGHTS From the Atchison Globe. There is a certain style of woman whose hair always looks faded. Atchison has had another streak of luck: one of her lovely characters has gone to another part of the country to reside. An Atchison woman, who does all her marketing by telephone, has had a short skirt made which she calls her market gown." Many women get married for no other reason than that they may have some one to pay for giving their teeth a good overhauling. Every engaged girl makes the mis take of imagining that she now has him too secure to be scared off by her appearance in curl papers. We have an idea that a king never meets with the adoration, or feels as good, as a clarionet player in a real negro minstrel band, who can play by note. A terrible thing happened in town last night. A North Atchison man went home mad and couldn't find any thing wrong to scold about when he got there. When ever the women see a new widow coming down the street they put on a look of sweet sympathy that length of her crepe. The women all envy a certain Atchi son woman who has bluffed her hus band into the belief that she has heart disease and is liable to drop dead If crossed in her wishes. Mothers may as well prepare them selves to hear as soon as their boys come home from the Philippines that the food at home is not near as good as that they got In Manila. Of almost every young man who has been drowned in this vicinity this sum mer, it was said that he was engaged to be married. It seems that a man in love, is too absent minded to be trust ed in swimming. An Atchison woman who clung to a worthless young man and married him a year ago. In spite of her parents' ob jections, is now always the one to start the song. "I am clinging to the cross," at prayer meetings. Half the troubles of women are a re sult of borrowing things for parties. If they could be persuaded to quit giv ing these fool parties, and pay atten tion to matters of real Importance, their husbands and children would greatly appreciate the change. An Atchison woman takes her daughters visiting out of town quite often, in order to let them have a greater choice in the selection of a husband. She says that when a girl stays in one town, it has a worse result than doing all the trading at one grocery store. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. Some men are like cigars the more you puff them the smaller they become. Make it an object for them and some men can plainly see that black is white. Why not change the motto on the sil ver dollar to "In New Jersey we trust The man who says something every time he speaks Is not cut out for a so ciety idol. A man who has been treated to a coat of tar and feathers naturally feels stuck-up. All Paris is raving over a monkey that plays the violin. Musical mon keys are plentiful in Chicago. We are admonished to lick the hand that smites us, but we fefei more like smiting the hand that licks us. The ordinary courtship Is a very weak foundation upon which to erect the gigantic structure of matrimony. If men could live their lives over atain they would avoid all thoir mistakes and make a lot of new ones. Hash affords us an example of an end without means. Never resurrect an evil that has been fairly buried. The cynic probably wears leather spectacles. A spinster says: "Marriage may be a serious thing, but it can't be mere so than single blessedness." Anyway his Satanic majesty never conducted the business in his wife's name. The man who finds his level is sure of success. If he gets too high or too low he' is bound to fall. There are times when a man would be appreciated more if he would keep his mouth shut and let his money talk. An extravagent preson is one who exchanges money that he doesn't want for a lot of fool things he doesn't know what to do with. If at the age of 2 years a child doesn't know which of its parents is most eas ily imposed upon it will never amount to much. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR From the New York Press. Babies are just footprints of their parents. What a man can not find out by ac cident about a woman he never can iind out by study. Maybe a man wouldn't want pockets either if he had such convenient places inside his clothes to put things as a woman has. As soon as a woman finds out that the man she wants to love her is begin ning to love her she acts like there was some mysterious barrier to prevent his loving her the way she wants him to love her. JAYHAWKEE JOTS. There is another Sol Miller in Kan sas. He is a Democrat and he lives at Newton. Corn will not be the only crop in Kansas this year. There will be the crop of fakirs. A Ford county man already has 170 acres of ground plowed for next year's wheat crop. George Martin: The alliterative ques tion now is not what did Dewey do, but when is Dewey due? A blue-eyed girl and a brown-eyed boy were born to Mr. and Mrs. Blake ley of Sedgwick county a few days ago. M. D. Simpson, of the Salina Repub lican, thinks Grant Gillett is at last engaged in an honest business that is, if he doesn't water the milk. Gillett has started a dairy at Chihuahua. Here is another chance for the ad vocates of "personal liberty" to make a fuss. The county attorney of Ellis county has served notice on the people of Hays City that they must liberate their mocking birds or he will prose cute them. The law of 1897 makes it an offense to entrap a mocking bird. The Medicine Lodge Cresset says that Barber county should stand first in the list of cattle counties instead of fourth, as given in Secretary Coburn's report. He says the county has 85.614 head on the tax roll. The Cresset man evi dently lumps all cattle in a bunch, while Secretary Coburn separates them. A Sumner county man struck up a correspondence with a Kentucky girl. Neither had ever seen the other, but they became engaged to be married. They were to meet in Wellington on a certain day, the bride was to wear a blue ribbon on her arm and the young man was also to have some distin guishing mark about him. The pro gramme was carried out last week, and the Mail says they are now spending their honeymoon happily together. The alfalfa country out around Gar den City is a great place for "raising" honey, but this year the "crop" is short. The Imprint attributes this to the late spring, the weather and in sects that fed on the nectar of the al falfa bloom. Still there is yet two months in which the bees can work and the crop at the close of the season may prove very good. The honey crop of the United States generally Is very light and the old stock of honey is gone. The life of the country editor does not always consist of small potatoes and few in a hill. Once in awhile an oasis appears in the desert. The Wa Keeney World man struck one recently, and here is what he says about it: "Last Saturday was hallelujah day at the World office. About 10 o'clock our short friend, Louis Morrell, called and donated a large watermelon and a doz en or more cucumbers. Next came our good friend, A. R. MIenik, of Collyer, who chatted with us for half an hour, but before leaving he deposited a dol lar with us to help World rotate. We went to dinner and returned to our haunts about 1. and to our surprise we found upon the exchange table two young prairie chickens, the gift of an out of town friend. Half an hour later our staunch friend, A. V. Hixson, of Ogallah, hailed us with $2 in his hand. He left it with us to help buy ink so the World can keep on moving. We were happy and left the care of World in the hands of any of our friends who might drop in, and proceeded to the ball grounds where we did the scoring for the boys, and we might add that we made the only score for the Wa Keeney boys, and that was on paper but didn't count. We returned to our office with a sad heart on account of the goose-egging our boys had just re ceived, when in stepped Frank Stimits, the new postmaster at Bosna. Frank had attended the Democratic county convention and informed us of their deliberations. We chatted awhile and before leaving he dropped a dollar into the slot to keep this blasted Republi can sheet from going to the dogs.Frank had just departed and in came one of the best young men of Ogallah town shipJohnnie Hixson. Johnnie and us played the ball game over and talked about a little of everything. Johnnie left another dollar with us to keep his uncle in Illinois posted on Trego coun ty doings. We started for home but something told us to take a peep in the southeast corner of the office, we did and uncovered three large watermel ons, two big cantaloupes and two spring fries. Wre haven't the slightest idea who left these nice things there, but if it should come to pass that the donor wants the nomination for repre sentative, we're for him. We only men tion these little gifts to remind our readers that there is a bright side to the editor's life as well as a dark one. We highly appreciate the donations received and the donors have our thanks, thanks, thank3." Dyspeptic People should try Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.

A Band of Cheyenne Bucks, Squaws and Papooses FIND TREASURY MINUS Touring the Countrj, GiTing War Dances. White Men In Charge Try to Abandon Them. Emporia, Aug. 29. The band of Cheyenne Indians that have been in this city for the past few days, are in hard luck. They were brought here by a man who took them from their reser vation at Darlington, Indian Territory, to tour the surrounding country and give war dances. They have lost mon ey ever since they started out, and on reaching here went broke. The crowds they received here did not retrieve their lost fortune, and yester day the white men who had them in charge started to take down the tent, preparing to leave town, and incident ally the Indians, but the city officials got onto the fact, and they promptly informed the white men that they could not take the tent away until they took the Indians back to the reserva tion. The band consists of 16 bucks, six squaws and two papooses. Such an ag gregation is a source of some expense at best, and it is surprising that they should tour a country so close to the Indian nation as this. WHO HIT HIM? McPherson Man Badly Injured Is Unable to Explain How. McPherson, Aug. 29. Yesterday Gust Gustafson was found by his wife wan dering about the yard in a dazed con dition, his head covered with blood. When she asked him what was the matter he answered, "Why, he hit me." Since then he has been unable to give any account of himself, or what happened to him. It was at first thought that one of the horses had kicked him, but he had left the house to drive the cattle to the pasture and had not gone near the stable. His hat was found in a manger in the stable, where a colt is kept. It has since been found that his pocketbook is gone. The hired man on the place was found at work in the field and apparently knew nothing of what had happened. The injuries on Mr. Gustafson's head were evidently made with a weapon, and not by the kick of a horse, as there was a long cut over the eye, another on top of the head and one on the back of the head. The affair is very mysterious, as he was not known to have any enemies. The doctors have little hope of his re covery. SOLD TO THE INDIANS. Is the Charge Made Against Arkansas City Saloon ists. "Wichita, Aug. 29. Deputy United States Marshal Fred Trigg went to Arkansas City and arrested Ben Con rade and Albert Blanchard, two saloon men, on the charge of selling intoxicat ing liquors to Indians. They were brought here and furnished bonds of $400 for their appearance before the September term of the federal court. It is charged that on the Fourth of July Ben Conrade sold some whisky to Samuel Thunder Bull and that Albert Blanchard dispensed some of the same stuff to William Cross. Both are pu pils in the Chillocco Indian school near Arkansas City. The people behind the temperance movement claim that it is Impossible to convict a saloon man in Arkansas City under the state law. They say that it has been tried in several cases and that the defendants have always been ac quitted. In order that the matter might be brought into court outside of the county, the charge was preferred against the parties for selling liquor to Indians. The penalty Is either a term in the penitentiary or a heavy fine at the discretion of the court. Both Conrade and Blanchard have fine saloons. Conrade's place Is said to be the finest in the state. He but lately finished the erection of a new building and now operates his place in his own building. FRANKLIN COUNTY FAIR. A Good Speed Program Prepared For September 20-22.

Cass Warner Writes From Manila That the General Is Sick of War. Fort Scott, Aug. 29. A letter was re ceived here last evening from Lieuten ant C. G. Warner of this city, who is aide on General Fred Funston's staff, stating that Funston is in Manila awaiting orders to sail for home with the Twentieth Kansas regiment. The latter states that Funston will retire from army life and reside in Kansas. The Twentieth boys are eager to come home and are unanimous in the desire to be mustered out in San Francisco in order to obtain travel pay to thi3 state. The announcement of General Funston's determination to re tire from army life is regarded as final by his many friends here, as Lieuten ant Warner is one of Funston's closest friends, having served continuously by his side. INSANE FROM WORRY. Kansas Soldier Returns Home to Find His Wife In an Insane Asylum. Independence, Aug. 29.

The Solomon Tribune says: This week the McCullough Bros, are plow ing for wheat, but no mules or horses are used, instead a traction engine is hitched to two plows, one four gang plow and one two gang plow, making six 14-inch plows that are ripping up the ground at the rate of 84 inches wide and rows a mile long.

Logan, was recently appointed by the president a major in the volunteer army, but his name was accidentally omitted from the lists. He has been assigned to the Thirty-third infantry. BREI DEN TRIAL'S IDEAS. He Would Have the Elections Re formed. John W. Breiaenthal thinks the Pop ulist party would make a long stride in the direction of progress and honest elections by nominating the candidates for state officers next year by primary elections. Breidenthal has been work ing this plan among the men he has chanced to meet recently and believes it will be some time adopted in Kan sas. He is not so sure about the plan being put into operation next year. However, he says: "This is no new thing with me, al though I admit it is an old subject re turned to my mind recently. The Peo ple's party really needs this reform less than any other, for when our people are in downright earnest they come out to the primaries and send the right men to the convention, but it would be a good thing even for us. "I favor primary elections for all nominations. The nearer we bring pub lic questions to the people the more satisfactory will our government be. Nominations are often made by pri mary' elections in counties and cities, and why not the entire stater Of course, ward politicians and hired heel ers would seek to control as now, but their opportunity would not be so easy. "It would be an application of the principle of the initiative which the People's party has advocated since its inception. Every voter of the party would have an opportunity to express his preference of the aspirants before the people. In this way the best men in the judgment of the people would be nominated, and the judgment of the people seldom is wrong. I would rather take their judgment than that of a convention of politicians. "Besides, nominations by that meth od would be conducive of party harmo ny, and party harmony is very desira ble, especially in a close campaign. Of course men or factions would be dis appointed, as by the present method, for it is impossible to make nomina tions satisfactory to all, but the ticket named would be a fair expression of the will of the people, and the first les son taught us by our republic is to bow to the will of the people. "The question never has been before the state central committee, and the committee you know, will have to take the first step. Of course, our people have discussed it at their homes, and it will be for them to say through their local papers and other means, what the committee shall do. I have suggested it to some of my friends incidentally, but not with a view of getting it up immediately. It may come next year; the sooner it comes the better. It would be a step well taken, and other parties would be compelled by public senti ment to follow the example. It is com ing some time, and since it is so easy to bring about it may be adopted by our people in 1900." AGUINALDO DEAD According to a Report In Jap anese Paper. Hamilton, O., Aug. 29. F. O. Maya and S. Lange, Japanese tea merchants of this city, today received a copy of the Chu Kizo Shinko, a newspaper printed in Nagoga, Japan, July 22, which contains a dispatch from Manila that has not yet become public in America. Under the heading: "New Philippine Information," the paper prints the fol lowing: "In the latter part of June near San Fernando, Aguinaldo was killed by Gen. Bio Pilas. Pilar visited him to enquire about the death of Gen. Luna and Aguinaldo answered that he never knew anything about this case and told Pilar to mind his own business. Gen. Pilar then called Aguin aldo a liar and pulling a pistol shot Aguinaldo in the forehead, killing him instantly." PLEA FOR MRS. NEW. Sister Comes From Bigbse, Arizona to Intercede. Mrs. Mary Kinsey of Bigbee, Arizona, has come to Kansas to make an effort to secure for her sister, Mrs. Eiizabeth' New a pardon from the state peniten tiary where she is now serving a 40 year sentence for the murder of her husband. Mrs. New recently made a will in which she bequeathed to the matron of the penitentiary, Mrs. Martha J. Fitz gerald. $200. H. E. Ballou. chaplain of the prison is also the beneficiary of the will to the amount of $200. In this doc ument Mis. New says: "In the presence of Almighty God I here protest and proclaim that I am in nocent of the awful crime of killing my beloved husband, Joseph New." Mrs. New directs that she shall be buried beside her father and mother at Eureka and that the body of her mur dered husband shall be exhumed and buried beside her. Mrs. Kinsey is now in Greenwood county circulating a petition for the pardon of her sister. WELLMAN ALL RIGHT. After He Undergoes Two Surgical Operations. London. Aug. 29. A specialist who has been consulted by Walter Wellman. who arrived in London yesterday p-fter his re turn of explorations of Franz Jof It's land, reports that the injury to Mr. Wellman's right leg which was seriously hurt by a fall into a snow covered crevasse will not be permanent and that he expects Mr. Wellman will be quite well in a few months. The patient, however, will have to undergo two operations. It is thought he will remain here. Giraffes In Central Africa. From the British Central Africa Gazette. From time to time it has been rumor ed that giraffes existed in British Cen tral Africa, on the Loangwa river, but, although that river valley has been fre quently visited during the last ten years by Europeans, no authentic in formation on the point has ever been obtained. Last month, however, a giraffe was shot on the east bank of the Loangwa in the Marimba district, by a European prospector, and its skin (incomplete) sent in to Captain Chi chester, in Mpezeni's country. The hinder half of the skin is being sent to the British museum, and it is hoped that a complete specimen may now be obtained. The existence of giraffes in Marimba is remarkable: the area in which they are found is extremely restricted, and their number appears to be very few. The one shot, however, was in a herd of about thirty-five. The nearest coun try north of Marimba in which giraffes are known to exist is north of Mareres. where- the Elton-Cotterill expedition met with them (many years ago.) To the south Matabeleland is the nearest giraffe country. INSIGHT. Oom Paul's Declaration Makes' It Almost Inevitable. London, Aug. 29. Commenting on the declaration of President Kruger of the Transvaal to the effect that the South African republic adhered to its latest offer and would not make any further concessions, the afternoon papers hero unanimously draw attention to the in creased seriousness of the Transvaal crisis, but at the same time they ex press uncertainty regarding the nature of the concessions beyond which Presi dent Kruger says he will not go. No official announcement has been made of this though they are generally be lieved to be a five year franchise and increased Outiander representation. "If this is correct," the Globe says, "it can not be long before diplomacy has to stand aside as of no further service. The Pail Mall Gazette says: "President Kruger's adherence to these would mean adherence to impos sible conditions, and if so the situation has come to an ugly head." The Westminster Gazette: "While lamenting the immoderation which it says led to the present crisis, admits that the country is within sight a war which may shortly be as unavoidable as on the merits of the uuestion it would be inexcusable. "To whatever dispatch or conditions President Kruger's defiant remark re ferred, it has brought home sharply the keep possibility of an impending war against no weak-kneed adversary. It is said that with recruits from over the borders, the Transvaal would have about 60,000 men at its disposal, where as the most British now could throw on the frontier would be 30.000, though of course this number would be materially increased within a month. The British public is taking intense interest in the preparations of their own forces already in South Africa. In dignation against W. P. Sehreiner, pre mier of Cape Colony who in the Cape house of assembly yesterday declared that under the customs convention, the Orange Free State was .justified in importing arms through Cape Colony is fairly general, though that section which believes that a Boer war would be a crime are making, by editorials, politicians, etc., what they appear to think is the last effort to avert hostili ties.

CCPVRIQHT ISSB BY THE PROCTCR TOUTO RICO'S SORROW. W. S. Post Says That the Islanders Have Lost Absolutely Everything. Chicago, Aug. 29. W. S. Post, a civil engineer who has been engaged in rail road surveys in Porto Rico for several months past and was there during the hurricane which devastated the island, passed' through Chicago last night on his way to his home at Galesburg. In describing the conditions of the island, Mr. Post said: "The damage from the storm is more far-reaching than can be imagined by any one who has not visited the island and become acquainted with the con ditions. of life there. The people are in good spirits and are rallying nobly af ter the first paralysis caused by the disaster, but the worst is yet to come. The principal food of the poor classes is green bananas, which is really their bread. The banana trees were nearly all blown down and by this time the stock of green bananas, which the Por to Ricans cook in various ways is ex hausted. The difficulty of rebuilding the houses is great on account of the scarcity of tools and the fact that there is no supply of lumber on hand. "In addition to all this is the loss of the coffee crop and of the mills neces sary for the production of the sugar output of the island. The hurricane added but one more evil to trade condi tions which were bad enough before. The people of Porto Rico have always sold their products and imported ev erything they use. Their principal ex ports were coffee, sugar and tobacco, which went chiefly to Spain and the Spanish colonies and were there dis tributed to the consumers. "As soon as the United States took possession of the island Spain put a tariff on Porto Rican products which was practically prohibitive. The peo ple could send no more goods to Spain and the United States market did not take the place of that which was clos ed. The United States tariff is just as high against Porto Rican products as it was before the island came into our possession and the people there have not taken the advantages of reciprocity which are enjoyed by some of the Eng lish and French islands. Unable to sell anything the people of course, cannot buy and commercially the island is at a standstill. Even before the hurricane the employer had no work for his men and the islanders are plunged into the most terrible poverty." SR1G1LT FOR MINNESOTA. Business Affairs Never Looked Better For That Section. New York, Aug. 29. Thomas Lowery of Minneapolis, who is in the city, says: "Business affairs never looked better in Minnesota than they do today. The spring wheat crop of the three great wheat states, Minnesota. North Dako ta and South Dakota, will amount to about two hundred million bushels. One of the best expert judges returned to Minneapolis just before I left there and reported that after a thorough personal investigation he estimated the crop at 197,000.000 bushels. At first it was fear ed that the high and hot winds which have recently been prevailing in the wheat producing areas would greatly damage the crop, but they are over now and the damage is not nearlv so great as anticipated. To move "this crop I do not believe we. will have to borrow a dollar outside capital, there is so much money in the three states at present." SANTA FE ON THE COAST. Aldace F.

Columbus, O., Aug. 29. A special to the Ohio State Journal from East Liv erpool, Ohio, says: This old pottery city, where William McKinley visited almost every summer during the early nineties, awoke last night and gave the president the nois iest possible welcome on the arrival of the party from Pittsburg at 11 o'clock. Five thousand people greeted him at the train. The crowd jostled and cheer ed and the president and wife were driven to the home of Colonel Taylor, where he and his wife are stopping, through streets ablaze with electric il luminations and fireworks. The escort was the East Liverpool company of the old Eighth Ohio regi ment, "the President's Own," which saw service in Cuba last year. Mean while a salute was boomed out in his honor upon the hill. In the diamond stood a handsome arch lighted by elec tricity, from which the words "Our President" blazed. At Colonel Taylor's house the people thronged the street and lawn until the president was forced to come out and bow his acknowledge ment. HORSE MARKET INJURED. Dreyfus Case Makes French Investors Timid. Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 29. One of the biggest horse buying firms in France recently sent an agent to Kan sas City to buy 3.000 horses to be used as cab horses in Paris during the ex position. The agent had bought and shipped 120 horses when he received a telegram to buy no more. Inquiry developed the information that the French buyers are alarmed because of the excitement created by the Dreyfus case, which seems to have the same effect of making investors timid that a. presidential campaign has in this coun try. The French buyers were giving $60 for horses: the farmers are willing to sell for $45 and the speculators saw good business ahead. When the order to stop buying came they were round ing up horses from every direction and are now unloading at a heavy loss. Gold Strike Confirmed. Port Arthur, Ont., Aug. 29.

Although Attorney General Godard has made no public announcement of his intentions he has indicated to some of his friends that he will not at this time bring proceedings in the courts to oust the county attorney and sheriff of Shawnee county from office, for al leged failure to take proper steps to secure the enforcement of the prohib itory law. There seems to be some division of opinion among the members of the committee of 200. Three members of the committee', headed by J. W. Gleed, called on Mr. Godard a few days ago and requested him to at once proceed against County Attorney Jetmore and Sheriff Cook. Mr. Godard sent for Mr. Jetmore Monday afternoon and the two men held a long conference. During the con ference Mr. Jetmore explained to Mr. Godard that the effort to have him ousted from office could not be made successfully. "Because," said Mr. Jet more, VI have not violated my oath of office. The records of my office and the courts will show that I have not failed to prosecute a single case against a jointist. I am ready at all times to bring prosecutions upon, proper infor mation but the law does not contemplate and the people do not expect a county attorney to spend his time prowling around seeking evidence against men. If persons have the information and will bring it to me I will bring the suits." What is the use of County Attorney Jetmore trying to hide behind that subterfuge of every official who does not want to do an unpleasant duty. "The people won't bring me evidence." Politicians might as well admit that they are afraid to do anything to sup press the joints and Attorney General Godard is himself in a dilemma where he can appreciate Mr. Jetmore's posi tion. No wonder he sympathizes with him. When the committee of twenty-five members called on Mr. Godard and asked him to take a hand in local af fairs one or two memrjers of the com mittee pledged themselves to furnish evidence against the joints then op erating in Topeka. The member of the committee who was strongest in his promises agreed to furnish the evi dence in a certain number of days. That was more than a month ago but the evidence has not yet been presented to the attorney general. Mr. Jetmore says the representatives of the temperance committee have promised, several times, to present to him evidence which would be con clusive, but up to date they have failed to do so. "I am ready to proceed when I receive that evidence," he said to Mr. Godard. Mr. Godard did not say to Mr. Jet more yesterday afternoon that no pro ceedings would be brought but it is generally believed that at this time Mr. Godard will take no part in the local fight. He thinks the officers ready to enforce the law if proper evidence is secured and until the officers positive ly decline to act he does not believe be has any right to go into the matter. MR. SWEET TO RLAME. City Council Refuses to Return Taxes Paid on Chesney Park. Some time ago T. B.

Some time after Mr. Sweet had purchased the property at tax sale the courts decided that it be longed to the city for park purposes. Now Mr. Sweet wants his money back. The matter was referred to the ways and means committee, and in making its report the committee said: "Your committee on -ways and means has had under consideration the propo sition of T. B. Sweet, offering to take $1,340.27 in discharge of his claims for taxes paid upon the park in the Fifth ward, and recommend that the propo sition be rejected. It is the opinion of your committee that these taxes were wrongfully levied upon the park and are not a lien thereon. Your committee is inclined to believe from information before it, that the holder of these tax certificates, or his assigns, knew when he bought them that the land was a public park and under the law not sub ject to assessment and taxation." The report of the committee was un animously adopted. GARTER APPOINTED. Will Have Charge of the City Prose cutions. Judge T. F. Garver will have charge of the general litigation of the city during the next two or three months at least, while City Attorney Bird is at work on the waterworks case and other matters requiring his close attention. Mr. Bird has gone to New York naw to be present at the taking of depositions in the waterworks case. He stated to Mayor Drew that it would require two months of steady work on that one case. In the 'meantime the September term of district court is coming on and a large number of city cases will come up in that. The majority of them are cases which have been appealed from the police court. In view of this state of affairs the city council thought it best to appoint someone to take charge of the general run of litigation while Mr. Bird devo ted himself to the waterworks case, and last evening the following resolution, introduced by Councilman Nettels, was adopted: "Whereas, The work of the city at torney is now, and throughout the sea son has been, unusually heavy, owing to the large number of special improve ments being made, the pending contro versies writh the water company, the suits growing out of the efforts of the city to erect a city hall, and from other causes; and "Whereas, He is now necessarily ab sent from the city on business, and the services of an experienced lawyer are needed during his absence and likely for some time after his return, because of the near approach of the time of trial of the waterworks case, and the necessity of thorough preparation therefor; therefore, be it "Resolved, By the mayor and coun cilmen of the city of Topeka, that the mayor be and he is hereby empowered to appoint an assistant city attorney to render such services to the city as may be necessary by the absence or occupa tion of the city attorney upon other important business of this city." Before Mr. Bird left for the east he recommended to Mayor Drew that Judge Garver be appointed to take charge of matters, and the mayor will follow the recommendation. Judge Gar ver stated today that he would ac cept. TJ". P. Gets O. N. Stock. New York, Aug. 29.

McDowell of fered to sell the city the three lots just north of the city prison for $3,000. The offer was referred to the ways and means committee, which has recom mended that the offer be not accepted. The ordinance which was introduced some time ago to place a license on bill posters and persons who distribute hand bills, dodgers and miscellaneous samples, was turned down unceremon iously by the w-ays and means commit tee of the city council last evening, and the report was adopted. A special bond ordinance, issuing in ternal improvement bonds to the amount of $25,237.50, was passed. Concerning the invitation of Syra cuse, New York, to the council to at tend the third annual meeting of the League of American Municipalities, on September 19, the ways and means com mittee recommended that if any mem ber of the city government wishes to attend the convention he be accredited as a representative of the city of To peka.

An unusually noisy audience saw the performance of Mahara's Minstrels at the Crawford theater Monday night. The balcony and gallery were filled with people, and but little was needed to throw both floors into spasms of applause of heterogeneous character. The noise seemed to be somewhat in fectious, as there was more noise than harmony in the choruses of the first part. There is nothing startiingly new about the performance the Mahara brothers have arranged for their or ganization. The second part has few features of any worth, the educated pony and dogs constituting one of the best. Of the work of the performers, Gordon Collins is entitled to the great est credit for his step dancing in the first part. Tonight Garfield park F. Weightman in comic songs. Admission, 10 cents. Cslmnsf W V INJURIOUS J Ming Powder TAKE A GLOOMY VIEW. British Ship Officers Say Peace With the Filipinos Is Far Away. New York, Aug. 29. According to the first and second officers of the Holyrood, a British vessel just arrived here from the Philippines with 10,000 mats of raw sugar which are being unloaded in Brooklyn, the natives of Iloilo are glad that the Americans instead of the Spaniards are now occupying the Philippines. "The Filipinos at Iloilo who loaded our sugar got about $1.50 in Mexican money for twelve hours' work," said First Of ficer Fleming. "That is equal to about 75 cents in gold. They are good workers, those natives, al though stupid. Their work as stevedores makes them extremely muscular. They are big fellows, too. They are satisfied with the control of Hollo by the United States because they are getting pretty nearly double the wages they received three years ago and the scale is still go ing up." "Where do they get their ammunition?" the reporter asked Second Officer Car rington. "That's what Otis and Dewey want to know," said Carrlngton. "They seem to have money and friends among the big powers. One of these days it will all come out that some rich gang of filibusters is supplying Aguinaldo with ammunition and when that comes, look out for break ers. They are even getting quicjt-firing guns from somewhere. "I don't see," continued Carrlngton, "how these ignorant backwoods savages are ever going to learn that the United States is not there to harm them. AH white men look alike ta them. They were oppressed by the Spaniards and they are too ignorant to see the difference between a Spaniard and a Yankee. It is going to be hard work to thrash them. It would need about all the ships in the British navy to police these islands, there are so many of them. And. by the way, they are the finest group of islands in the world. You can sail a deep vessel all through them and the scenery is something won derful. They are in their wild state yet, with the woodland reaching to the wat er's edge. No one knows what they con tain in the way of minerals and riches, as some of them are inhabited by natives that are just about as bad as cannibals." "What about peace between the natives and the Americans?" "There won't be any right awav." said Carrlngton. "The natives are savages. I would not like to trust them any further than I could see them. The better classes like the idea of belonging to the United States, but the more stupid know just enougn to ngnt. suppose tnis country will lick them out after a while, but it will be a long time. There are so many of them." "Are the islands worth having?" "Well, I should say so." ejaculated Car rlngton. "Under intelligent cultivation they will prove immensely valuable." "How did the soldiers you saw like the idea of being there?" "They want to get back and see their friends. They don't ilke so many Tagais all at once. I guess most of the boys went out. there with the idea of seeing a lot of the world and not thinking they would stay long. I don't see how they stand it during the rainy season." GOLD FROM ALASKA.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, TUESDAY E VEXING, AUGUST 29, 1899. GAG IS REMOVED. (Continued from First Page.) recruiting German spies for the service of the French government. He said the organization would have been of the greatest utility in the event of war and eaid regrets were frequent during the last war in regard to the lack of spies. Cuers, he pointed out, spoke French admirably and therefore it could not be maintained that only German was spoken at the interview at Basle, be tween Cuers. Henry and Lauth. One of Cuers' special services, con tinued the witness, was furnishing Ger many with falsse information. He therefore, was sometimes obliged to say he had succeeded in suborning a Krench officer, and in this way Cuers was induced to declare he had obtained the collaboration of an officer of the headquarters staff. Proof of this could be found at head quarters in the dossier of false docu ments delivered to Germany. "These documents," added Col. Cor dier, "are no doubt in all the better or der because the archivist, M. Gribelin, wears blue spectacles." (Laughter.) Col. Jouaust called the witness to or der and the remark was withdrawn, witness declaring amidst peals of laughter: "It escaped me, Monsier Lo president. I withdraw the spectacles." Cordier then described the events firior to the arrest of Dreyfus and showed that only a single real leakage, namely the plans of the fortresses, had occurred at the time of his arrest. The document known as "Cotte Canaille de 3j he explained, was contempor aneous with this leakage. "It has been suid," said the witness, "that I made a mistake on this point and confounded the document with an other containing the initial alone. I should like very much to see the docu ment in order to assure myself that it had not been tampered with. It is not, however, of any importance except to show that General Roget's evidence concerning me is false from beginning to end." (Sensation.) General Roget asked leave to speak, hut Colonel Cordier continued showing how the leakage of plans of fortresses was facilitated by the carelessness of headquarters staff and maintaining that the leakage was still occurring When the witness left the war office. DREYFUS WAS GAT. Reverting to the manner in which the suspicions against Dreyfus crystal lized, the colonel described the efforts to pry into the prisoner's life and said the information at first received was very bad and constituted strong proof against the prisoner. Later, however, it assumed quite a different aspect. It was admitted that before his marriage Dreyfus was not unimpeachable moral ly, nor was he entitled to wear a wreath of orange blossoms. (Laughter). Hut Cordier added, after his marriage Dreyfus was quite different. The witness also said that wbHe Dreyfus boasted of his conquests, he Cordier) was of the opinion that those who boasted the most accomplished the least. (Laughter). Dreyfus, he continued, bragged a great deal and probably now repented having done so and Dreyfus' inquisi tiveness, according to the witness, was jrobably explained by his knowledge that he would not long remain on the headquarters staff and he desired to obtain all the information which might he useful to him in after life. The colonel then paid a tribute to the memory of Colonel Sandheir, who ex amined the immense mass of docu ments relating to espionage and un earthed the "Cette Canaille de D document, which seemed to the witness to date back to antiquity. DOUBTS RETURNED. In 1894 the witness regarded as in sufficient the sole proof against Drey fus, namely the bordereau. He did not believe the prisoner was guilty, but the fact that the judges were unanimous in convicting him changed the witness mind. His doubts, however, returned when he saw that the date of the bor dereau received in September had been fixed as May. Colonel Piequart's in vestigation and the infamous campaign against Piequart increased the suspi cions of the witness. "In 1894," declared Col. Cordier em phatically, "I had been reassured by the unanimity of the judges and I was absolutely convinced of the guilt of Dreyfus. Now I am absolutely con vinced of his innocence." (Great excite ment). Next the witness discussed the at tacks on himself. He said he was astonished at being accused of being soured because he was not given charge of the intelligence department in suc cession to Col. Sandherr as "everyone knew I wished to quit the service sim ultaneously with my friend Sandherr." Replying to the president Col. Cor dier declared that the approaches of the Dreyfus family to Col. Sandherr were not attempts at corruption and that Dreyfus' brother's remark, "Our fortune is at your disposal." was only the expression of the family's ardent desire to save an innocent member of it. Witness well remembered hearing that Esterhazy and Henry were in the Intelligence department together about the year 1S78 but he added Esterhazy had not since been employed there and if he had any relations with the depart ment they must have been clandestine. HENRY MADE MISCHIEF. Replying to Col. Jouaust's request to Btate what he knew regarding Henry's relations with Piequart, Cordier said s:ood fellowship prevailed in thedepart ment until the appearance of Henry who had been forced on Sandherr. Henry had close relations with the su preme chief and hi3 colleagues suspect ed he might report what he heard in the office in the divisions and what oc curred in the department. Some supported Sandherr and others supported Henry. Among the latter was Gribelin. It was then while the division was rampant that the witness handed over his department to Col. Piequart. Henry was much incensed at being superseded by a junior officer and resolved to do everything to sup jjlant him and added the witness, the Henry forgery could have had no other object but to ruin Col. Piequart with the view of giving Henry his place. Maitre Labori asked the witness what tie knew in regard to the arrest of Dreyfus and Cordier replied that his recollections on that point were not very definite. He found difficulty in recalling the names of those who were present at the dictation scene, but he was informed on several occasions as to what occurred. "I remember," he declared, "that one of the proofs ad vanced against Dreyfus was that dur ing the scene he looked in a mirror. That ia going too far. If Dreyfus look ed in the mirror it was because he had seen another head besides his own there. There was an arrangement of mirrors and since it must be told, I will say it. Behind the curtain were two ears listening. Dreyfus, therefore, might have seen something besides his own face in the mirror. M. Labori questioned the witness in regard to the letter mentioned in M. de la Roche Vernet's evidence referring to the spy "C. C. C." which was de spatched to the war office at the time of Piequart's arrival. Cordier explained that it was a let ter from an Italian lady with whom the department at that time was in corre spondence through an intermediary at the foreign office. NO PETTICOATS. "I greatly respect Italian ladies in general," said Cordier, "not when it is a case of espionage and I advised Piequart not to make too much use of the lady's offers, saying to him: 'There must be no petticoats.' At this juncture M. Labori informed the president of the court that he had received a telegram signed "Pages," announcing the dispatch of a letter rel ative to the relations between Colonel Sandherr and the Dreyfus family. Counsel added that he had himself re ceived a telegram as follows: "I de clare Colonel Sandherr told me dis tinctly that neither before, nor after the conviction was an offer of money made to him." Col. Jouaust announced that he would not read the writer because he did not know the writer and asked the usual question of Dreyfus, who replied that he would refer merely to the scene on October 15, preceding his ar rest. "It was," he said, "so fantastic that I frankly confess I understood nothing connected with it. It was conducted under such conditions that I do not know what manner of brain could have conceived it and when I left the extra ordinary scene my head literally reeled, so I can not remember the facts and details." Major Lauth having been permitted to speak said Col. Cordier's leave of absence commenced September 13 and not September 23 to which Cordier re torted that he was much surprised at contradictions on such an unimportant point. But nevertheless his original statement was true. Continuing, the major commented on Col. Cordier's testimony, especially the statement that there were no anti semites on the headquarter's staff, re marking that there was one exception and this was Cordier himself who was always expressing antipathy to the Jews.especially when there was a ques tion of introducing Dreyfus to the de partment. MAN WITH A CONSCIENCE "Yes." exclaimed Cordier, "quite true. I was an anti-semite, But nrv opinions never went to the length of bringing false evidence against the Jews. (Sensation.) I am an honest man and I have a conscience." (Re newed excitement.) NO SPECIAL SESSION. Governor Stanley Says He "Will Not Call One. Governor Stanley arrived in the city today from Wichita and left this after noon at 4 o'clock to speak tomorrow at Washington, Kan. A reporter for the State Journal asked the governor if he would call a special session of the leg islature to appropriate money to pay the expense of bringing the Kansas soldiers home from San Francisco. He replied by saying;. "No, I will not call the legislature to gether for this purpose because I do not believe there is such an emergency con fronting us. A special session of the legislature for this purpose would mean an enormous expense and I do not be lieve it would be justifiable." Asked if his plan to have the rail roads bring the troops home and trust to the next legislature for their pay was working successfully, the governor said: "I have yet to see the representatives of one or two lines but I am confident that the plan will succeed. The rail roads seem to consider the question fa vorably and I believe they will bring the Kansas boys home. I also believe too that no legislature would fail to re munerate the railroads for this public service. It is a duty the state owes to our fighters and one which I believe the people will approve." IMPROVE GAGE PARK. Something Ought to Be Bone to Beautify the Gift The city will not come into active pos session of Gage park until next spring. If it had possession right away It would be necessary to employ men to keep the weeds down and keep vandals out, and In the unorganized condition of the park commission it is probable that it might not be looked after as closely as it ought to be. Mrs. Gage recently voluntarily offered to retain the property until next spring and pay the colored man, who has had charge of the place for some time, to con tinue to care for it. The council Monday evening accepted the offer. In connection with this matter a com munication was read, signed by both Mrs. Gage and Norris L. Gage of Ashtabula. Ohio, a brother of G. G. Gage. In the communication they favor the leasing of 10 or 20 acres from one end of the park to the Country club, arguing that this will be Improved by the club and will serve as an incentive to the city to improve the balance. MORE GENERALS. Numbar Ia the Philippines Is Con sidered Inadequate. Washington, Aug. 29. It is believed that after the new regiments are on their way to the Philippines the subject of more general officers in the islands will be considered. There are now three major generals of the regular army and six brigadier generals. Of this num ber only one brigadier general, Otis, holding a commission as major general of volunteers, is in the Philippines. It is generally conceded that the number of general officers in the Philippines, 13 at present, will not be sufficient to com mand the force of 60,000 men, but no se lections have yet been jnade. The G. A. R. Train.

Now the letters which I have received indicate that the company is making an assess ment, for premiums, amounting to 40 per cent, and in many instances can celling the insurance after collecting the premiums. "Patrons of the company are limited, according to the circulars issued by the company, to property owned by churches or ministers, but one letter which I have received states that the company is accepting in one place in the state all kinds of property." SCHOOL APPORTIONMENT. Shawnee County Is Second In School Population. The state superintendent has com pleted the semi-annual disbursement of the state school fund and the amounts to which the various cities are entitled will be sent out by draft or check in a few days: There are in the state 496,766 children of school age. The-interest fund distri buted amounts to $203,678.16, or 41 cents for each pupil. During the last half of 1898 the per capita was 43 cents. The seven counties receiving the largest amount of money and having a school population of more than 10,000 are as follows: Wyandotte 20.661 $8,471 Shawnee 17.166 7,038 Sedgwick 13,384 5,487 Crawford 13.266 5.439 Cherokee 13,254 5,434 Leavenworth 12,348 5,062 Cowley 10,409 4,267 ELECTING TEACHERS. Agricultural College Regents Are Holding a Session. J. M. Satterthwaite of Douglas, a member of the board of regents of the state agricultural college, was in the city today on his way to Manhattan to attend a special meeting of the board this afternoon. The board convenes to fill some va cancies in the corps of teachers. One of the most important was caused by G. W. Xendrick of Junction City, who. af ter being elected to the chair of Eng lish, declined to accept the position. Kendrick first applied for the presi dency of the college; he withdrew that application and sought the chair of English to which he was elected. He later declined. It is not improbable that the board may select a president of the college. At the last session of the board the meting ended in a dead lock after sev eral ballots were taken for president.

McKeon remembers that while sitting on the back steps of Kennady's drug store Wise put his arm around him and pointed to the wallet in his inside pocket and said: "Be careful and do not lose that." HORTOfl FIGURATIVE. Kansas Man Used Metaphors In Discussing Conditions at Home. Judge A. H. Horton has been Inter viewed in Denver with the following result: "Kansas is all right," said Judge Horton to the Times. "It is sound and sensible politically, and it is strong financially. The hot winds of Populism that withered us have passed forever. The sixteen-to-one grasshoppers that were consuming us are disappearing.The drought of Bryanism has been succeed ed by the blessed rains of Republican ism producing a crop of prosperity. Kansans are enthusiastic expansion ists. I recently returned from a trip to New York and other eastern points and I found that out on the Kansas prairies the sentiment favoring a Greater America is far stronger than in the east. With us Democrats and Pop ulists, thousands of them, approve the administration's policy on this ques tion. Bryan's attitude of vindictive bitterness has alienated many of his old followers in Kansas. It will cost him many thousands of votes in our state. Unless the Kansas regiment re turns to give evidence against the ad ministration's policy in the Philip pines which I do not anticipate the Democrats can not stem this tide that has set in. It will engulf them if they attempt it. "Kansas, a peaceful, agricultural commonwealth, has always been a most patriotic one. As a young state, it sent a very large proportion of its men to fight for the preservation of the Union. In our recent war it hasfurnish ed the most conspicuous state regiment in the service. Where the American flag has been once raised, there shall it forever remain, is the universal senti ment of our people; and Kansas is a dangerous locality for the man who would suggest hauling down that flag. "The free silver remedy .for Cleve land industrial depression is fast being recognized in Kansas as a quack nos trum. Ingenious advertising of the Bryan patent panacea humbugged our people for a while. But they are com ing to understand that it was an adroit fraud to catch their votes. They have recovered from their ills without its use, and they are now glad that they escaped its poison. They were made to believe that MeKinleyism meant de struction. The horrors of it were pic tured to them in the reddest colors, and the prospect frightened them. Instead of being turned into slavery as they really expected to be, they have been emancipated. Instead of fulfillment of the awful predictions, they have found, under the administration that was to bring such dire distress upon the farm er and laborer, rich compensation and ample employment prosperity such as they have not known in years. With their eyes thus opened to their delusion, it is natural that they should hereaf ter shun the confidence games by which they have been victimized in the past. Kansas will be good for at least 25,000 majority for the Republican ticket, state and national, next year. "Money is plentiful in Kansas. The banks have more than they can use. Cattle and hogs are bringing big prices, and with the movement of an enormous corn crop this fall our farmers will all be in independent circumstances. In terest is lower than it ever has been. Loans on farm property may be had at hVz and 6 per cent. I know farmers who are loaning out their surplus to their neighbors at 5 per cent. Under such circumstances the voice of the calamity howler will be drowned by the noise of prosperity." "What will Kansas do for her return ing volunteers?" "They will be brought home from San Francisco on a free train. The ex act plan has not yet been determined. The cost, however, will be defrayed from the state treasury. The legislature may be called in extra session, but it is more likely the money will be ad vanced and an appropriation made for its return at the next regular session." DEAD IN THE STREET. Body of a Woman Found on Fashionable Thoroughfare. Omaha, Aug. 29. A woman whose identity is a mystery was found dead on the pavement on Park avenue this morning by a newspaper carrier. Doctors say she had been dead for sev eral hours and that death resulted from a fracture of the skull evidently caused by a fall on the pavement. All that the people who live in the vicinity know about it is that about 11 o'clock last night they heard a woman scream and saw a buggy passing in which was a man and a woman. The man was lashing the horse into a run and holding the woman, who was stand ing up and evidently trying to jump out of the buggy. There is at present no clue as to the identity of the dead wo man or the man who was with her. She is well dressed and evidently a woman of refinement. The street where she was found is in the heart of the best residence section of the city. NEGLECTED CHILD. Charged That Mother Mistreats Her Five Months Old Babe. The people living near Mrs. Daniel Taylor, the wife of the man who was killed several weeks ago by being run over by a freight train in North Tope ka, have complained to the police that Mrs. Taylor has neglected her 5 months old baby. Officers Carpenter and McMillan in vestigated the case this morning and an effort will be made to have the child properly cared for. Mrs. Taylor lives close to the river near the foot of Jack son street in North Topeka. When the officers went to the house this morning they found the child lying on a bed while Mrs. Taylor and the rest of the children were away. The child needs nourishment and care. It is wasting away and the officers are of the opinion that any assistance that can be given will be too late. DEATHS AND FUNERALS. Ivey Reser, the infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Reser, who lives at 315 Lake street, died this morning. The body will be taken to Rossville for burial. Margaret E. Sayler, aged 23, died yes terday at her home in Pleasant Valley. The funeral will be held Wednesday at two o'clock from the Third Presby terian church. The Weather. The maximum temperature today was 93 and at two o'clock the ther mometer fell to 92. The minimum was 66. The humidity 49 with the wind southeast making 7 miles an hour. OHIO DEMOCRATS Gather at ZanesYille For Their State Convention. Zanesville, O., Aug. 29. There is an un usually large attendance at the Demo cratic state convention this year. The 802 delegates constitute a small part of the attendance. The only clubs in attendance in bodies are those from Cincinnati and Columbus, the homes of McLean and Kil bourne. There are many others here from the 88 counties in the interest of these two leaders and of other candidates for gov ernor. The new state central committee selected today will hold over for the pres idential vear and the interest in the con trol of the party machinery for the presi dency attracts many at this time. There are those present who are willing to have a strong declaration against Mc Kinley and imperialism, but they protest against declaration against the war in the Philippines. There is no opposition to a declaration against Hanna and bossism, or the usual issues. The Chicago platform w'll be re affirmed with a strong endorsement of Brvan. There is an unusual fight for the committee on permanent organization as the anti-McLean men objected to the Mc lean slate which included Congressman J. A. Norton of Tiffin for permanent chairman and Thomas J. Qogan of Cin cinnati for secretary. A BROKEN WHEEL Causes a Rock Island Train to Leave the Track. Eldon, Ia Aug. 29. The Chicago, Rock Island Pacific local passenger No. 202 and known as the "Keokuk Ex press' ran off the track a mile west of here at 11:30 o'clock today, demolishing the engine, baggage, mail and smoking cars. The accident was due to a broken wheel on the locomotive. The engi neer, fireman, mail clerk, and baggage man were injured, but it is believed not fatally. None of the passengers, it is reported, was seriously hurt. Young Quay Resigns. Washington, Aug. 29. Captain An drew G. C. Quay, son of Senator Quay of Pennsylvania, has resigned from the army to go into private business. He is a graduate of the military academy class of 1SS8. His resignation has been accepted by the president, to take ef fect August 31. IIIDDLE SWIN STREET. From the London Mail.l Most people who have not much ex perience of the sea at night, imagine that is, for the most part, a gloomy waste of waters, with here and there a lighthouse on a reef or a lightship moored a few miles from the coast. No idea could be more mistaken, and it will probably surprise them to learn that there is a great highway for ships a few miles from the mouth of the Thames which is, if anything, even more brilliantly lighted than Regent street. Mariners about our English coasts have the sea marked out for them into roads and streets as definite and ob vious as Piccadilly or the Strand. It is only by extreme negligence or by an absolutely unforeseen combination of adverse circumstances that a ship can lose its way nowadays when it is within twenty or thirty miles of the English coast. The greatest sea road in the whole world is the Swin Deep, at the mouth of the Thames. It is not too much to say that every foot of it is surveyed and marked down in the chart. It is lighted more completely than many city thoroughfares, and to the sailor it is more homelike and familiar than the Commercial Road or the Whitechapel High street. Down this great high road of the sea much of the trade of the world is car ried. Ships from the furthest parts of the world patrol it day and night in an endless procession, bringing goods to London or taking English produce to distant lands. As the traveler steams down the Thames between the low mud reaches beyond Gravesend, his first glimpse of the wonderful system of lights which guides the ships is obtained at South ead. A red light shines out over the water, and it is a warning that the river jour ney is nearly finished, and that Swin street is near at hand. Tom Hood immortalized the Nore in a poem called the "Little Buoy at the Nore," but he had nothing to say about one of the most famous of our English lightships. The "Nore Light," as the sailors call it, is at the very entrance to the great highway. It shows a white light, which revolves every half min utes. Every lighthouse and lightship has its own particular and distinguishing sys tem of signalling its name. For ex ample, the next light in Swin street is seven miles from the Nore, and is called the "Mouse" Light. In order that there may be no confu sion between the two ships, .the Mouse ship shows a green light, which re volves every twenty seconds, and which is visible for exactly ten miles. It is also provided with a foghorn, which is blown by compressed air, and is said to have the most unpleasant voice in the whole Channel. These lightships provide the principal illuminations of Swin street. In day time each one carried a cone of iron bars of different shapes in. the places where the light is hoisted at night, and moreover, the name of the ship is painted upon its side in colossal white letters. One of the most powerful and curious lights in Swin street is known as the Maplin light. It stands at the endge of the dangerous flat known as the Maplin and Foulness sands. These sands dry at low water, and extend for seven teen miles along the coast. It was found impossible to build solid mason ry upon the shifting surface, and so the famous Maplin light has been built, upon an enormous erection of piles. It is one of the most conspicuous sights in Swin street, for it appears to be rising straight up out of the middle of the sea. The light is what is known as a red "occulting" light. Every half minute it is hidden by a revolution of the lantern behind a steel shutter. There are many of these occulting lights in Swin street, and it is often a welcome sight to see one of them flash out of the dark, explaining with absolute certainty the exact position of the ship in the channel. The smallest lights of all the many colored illumin ations are those at the heads of the buoys which mark out the various safe passages for ships. These burn night and day, and the light is produced from ordinary gas. The great buoys, many of them from fifteen to twenty feet high, are hollow and filled with gas, which burns continually in a lamp at the top. Often the traveler in Swin street may see a curious slowly moving vessel with a great tank on the deck, moving from buov to buoy. This is the gas boat which supplies the lights with fresh gas at stated intervals. It may be called the lamplighter of the sea road. KANSAS FAIRS.

Foreign houses will sell approximately 15,00) shares on balance. Arrangements have been concluded for the regular list ing of American Steel and Wire stocks. We understand that a more bullish senti ment will be created. There is quite an extensive short interest in the stock created a couple of weeks ago. This will be forced to cover. The dividend period is approaching and it may be well to give some little attention to those stocks that will be at least favorably market wise, by these periodical distributions of net profits. Today the directors of Union Pa cific expect to meet to take action on. the dividend on the preferred stock. The es tablishment of this property on a 4 per cent basis will be the precusor of infinite ly better times, not only for the preferred stock, but likewise for the common. We are inclined to the belief that Union Pa cific preferred will sell many poitns above this level and there is good reason why it should. Union Pacific common will appre ciate considerably in value. We still ara inclined to believe that big money will be found in Sugar, the short interest is larger than it has been in many months. 3. ARTHUR JOSEPH. New York Money Market. New York. Aug. 29.
