A Kansas Cyclone Would II aye Indeed Been Welcomed By the Big Yachts on Their Ocean Race Course. BRISK MORNING WIND Of 15 Miles Hourly Telocity Early Died Away, And at 3 O'clock the Breeze Is Only Three Knots. Tessels 7 Miles From Finish Almost Becalmed. Long Branch, Oct. 7. W. U. Cable Boat, 3:15 p. m. Many of the New York yacht club boats are returning and the race is apparently oft. Time limit expires 4:52 and yachts can not possibly make it being 74 miles from finish and beating against the wind. New York, Oct. 7. At sunrise this morning a strong northerly breeze was stirring up the white caps on the up per bay; the sky was clear, a light autumnal haze hung over the Long Is land and Staten Island shores, and the air was crisp and invigorating. Brief ly, it would have been impossible to imagine a morning more full of prom ise of a fine race between the Colum bia and the Shamrock. At the anchorage and places of em barkation, however, it was seen that the disappointments of Tuesday and Thursday had affected the spirits of the yachtsmen and yachts women, for the number ofpeople hurrying to the excur sion fleet did not appear to be nearly as large as one the previous days set for racing. Off the battery only five tugs were waiting for their passengers. These boats included the tug Volun teer, frying the Shamrock's flag which was taking on board the guests of Sir Thomas Lipton, who were subsequently transferred to Sir Thomas' yacht Erin in the Horse Shoe. Winter overcoats and wraps were in order on all sides, among the excur sionists. The first weather bulletin of the day came from Galilee, In. J., from which point the Associated Press correspon dent at 7.02 a. m. reported that the north wind there was whistling down the coast at the rate of 20 miles an hour. He added, however, that the breeze showed signs of moderating by noon. A very high sea was running at that time and the observation limit was 12 miles. At the Highlands, at about 8 a. m., the conditions of. the race were almost exactly similar to those prevailing at the same time on Tuesday. The wind was from the north, northeast, blow ing almost directly down the Jersey shore at a velocity of almost 15 knots an hour. The sea was covered with whitecaps and the waves, the relics of yesterday's storm, had their tops and crests taken off by the breeze as they broke on the Jersey shore, off the Highlands. A number of coasters came out around the Hook during the early morning and ran away before the wind down the coast, makhag excellent time. Prom the Highland Light, the range of vision south and east extended to a distance of over fifteen miles. A haze hung over New York harbor and very little in that direction could be seen beyond the point of tie Hook, a dis tance of about 5 miles. The Shamrock was inside the Horse Shoe as usual and harl her two head sails in stops by 7 o'clock and by half past 8 her tender, tha tug James L. Lawrence, was making prtparations to tow her outside. The Columbia was being towed down from Bay Kidge. The breeze was so fine and true off the Hook that the Shamrock dispensed with the aid of the tug and started out for the light ship under sail. She had up her mainsail and jib ami headed up for the channel on the starboard tack. Just as she got under w ay the Colum bia came down the channel ajid round ed the southwest spit in tow of her tug. The Columbia stopped before reach ing the Hook, about a mile to the west of the point and began hoisting her main sail. The Shamrock ran out past the Hook at a lively gait. The wind then still held from the X., X. E., blowing about 15 knots an hour. The weather off shore from the High lands was very clear and ships over twenty miles away could be plainly seen. The Shamrock made the run out from her anchorage to tandy Hook light ship, a distance of over eleven nautical miles, in 56 minutes with only mainsail and jib. The Colombia made fully as good time, passing Scotland lightship before 10 o'clock. The wind at that time was still from the north, northeast, a little over 15 knots and nodding true and strong, with every indication that it would continue throughout the day and enable the boats to have a good race. After reaching the lightship the Shamrock eased off her sheets and stood to the south and the crew began to make ready trie club topsail for hoisting. The old cup defender Vigilant had a little brush with the latest challenger on the run out. The Shamrock went by her as if she was anchored. Behind the Columbia were a half dozen revenue cutters and a number of steam yachts and as the two yachts reached the lightship the first of the excursion fleet appeared heading down the swash channel. At 10 o'clock the steam yacht Erin, with a large party on board, steamed out of the Hook with a big Shamrock flag on her foremast. The Columbia arrived at the lightship at 10:09 a. m., having made the run out under similar canvas as the Shamrock and in practically the sanae time. When she arrived at the light ship she also eased off her sheets and stood a little to the southward but soon came about and ran over towards the challenger which was then sailing along on the port tack about a mile southeast of the lightship. Both boats were evidently trying the breeze to decide as to their light sails. The wind at the time still came from k N. N. E., but had fallen oft a trifle and did not seem to be blowing at the lightship much over 15 knots. The judges boat signalled that the course would lie south of southwest, bringing the boats along the Jersey coast down to Long Beach. The yachts spent a half hour after arriving at the start in trying the strength of the wind running about on one tack or the other and up and down off and on the wind. As the time for the start approached the wind seemed to decrease and at 10:30 was not blowing much over 12 knots. The Shamrock was the first to decide as to topsails and at 10:40 o'clock her big club topsails were set, indicating that those on board did not fear an increase of the breeze. At the time she set the sail aloft she was about half a mile from the light ship heading toward Long Beach on the port tack. The Co lumbia ran along behind her on the starboard tack and at 10:42 her top sail was run up. At 11:05 the Corsair having arrived with a large number of other yachts the preparatory gun was fired. Both boats were then to leeward of the starting point and about on even terms. The Columbia to windward of the judges Columbia went to windward of the judges' boat and tacked starboard. The Shamrock was already on that tack and the Columbia crossed her bow. Both boats at 11:13 had club topsails, mainsail and jib set and when at 11:15 the warning gun was fired the Sham rock went to port about the stake boat and the Columbia to starboard, both rounding quickly and at 11:16 were heading for the line. After getting Shamrock's topsail in place, Sailmaker Ratsey discovered that it was not fitting properly, so it was lowered to the deck. This move ment caused the people on the Colum bia some wonder and easing off a bit the American boat ran down past the challenger to see what the trouble was. Hardly had the Columbia got alongside when the Shamrock's crew commencing hoisting the same club topsail and it appeared to fit satisfactorily. At 11:05 the gun on the tug Lucken bach spoke out the preparatory signal the blue peter and a red ball were hoisted to the foretopmast and main topmast heads. Then the skippers on the rival boats began jockeying for the start in earnest. The Columbia was about northeast from the lightship heading for it, with sheet amidships. This was to allow the Columbia people to have a good look at the Shamrock as the latter's crew fiddled with the club topsail. When the topsail on the green boat was properly in place she was trimmed and as soon as the vessel had sufficient headway, she bore off to starboard toward the eastward end of the line. The Columbia after running down by the lightship trimmed sheets and start ed along the port tack on the lee side of the line coming around under the stern of the committee tug. The Columbia had the weather posi tion and try as he would Hogarth could not oust her from her better berth. As the boats tore along toward the lightship in almost a parallel direction to the starting line they made a beauti ful picture. Both yachts had their boom to port, with the wind over their coun ter, and they heeled down to the pres sure on their sails, throwing out a big wave from the port quarter. Just be fore getting to the lightship, the Colum bia eased off quickly and crossed the line at 11:21:22, breaking out a huge ballooner. The Shamrock tried to get nearer to the lightship than her rival in order to break up Columbia's wind, but found that she had not room and so she cross ed on the Columbia's weather quarter at 11:21:19. The Shamrock's position almost compelled her to take the Col umbia's wind. The Columbia up to the start seemed to be having the best of it. Indeed, she was the first over, but the Shamrock pointed into a weather berth. This was the challenge that set Barr off his course and down on the fleet of steamers. The torpedo boats shrieked wildly. They did not need a second look to know that Barr and Hogarth as well, would sail through walls of iron, rather than give in in the first battle of the new day. So they kited back and forth along the edges of the fleet, whistling lustily. The difference in sails was easily ap parent. The Shamrock was carrying her biggest club topsail and her stay sail and jib. When the Columbia broke out her big ballooner which filled in a. hearty, wholesome way she took a spurt. The windward manoeuver be ginning with the preparatory gun was called off within fifteen minutes after the start. Both boats set back into the course, Columbia in the lead. Both squared off on the course. For a mile the wind, 8 miles an hour, held true. Then a soft spot at least two miles in diameter developed. The wind was up and down in the big ballooners for fif teen minutes. Then a five mile breeze came up, and off they went. At 12:20 the Shamrock passed the Columbia. About 8 miles from the turn the Co lumbia was about 3.000 yards in the lead. Each racer was carrying club topsail, mainsail, spinnaker and balloon jib. The breeze had dropped to about six miles an hour and was, as in the two previous trials, variable. It looked as if another drifting match was on. For about ten minutes the relative positions of the yachts was practically unchanged, when suddenly the Shamrock stirred up a little en thusiasm. She had been holding more to the windward of the course, the Co lumbia was steering, evidently looking for wind and soon she found it. A freshening breeze from off the Jersey shore filled the Emerald sails and slow ly but surely she pulled out ahead. The Shamrock seemed to do less roll ing than her rival and consequently did not spill the wind out of her saiis as much as did the Columbia. By 12:30 the Shamrock had a lead of more than an eighth of a mile but the race was decidedly lacking in interest. For over an hour neither yacht had touched a sheet, or altered a sail. At 12:40 the Shamrock had increased her lead to about a fifth of a mile by standing to windward thus catching the breeze first as it came off shore. At 12:53 the Shamrock took in her spinnaker and gybed over having stood so much to windward hunting for wind that to head for the mark she had to get on the port tack. A few minutes later she sent his spinnaker to port. The Columbia followed suit and both yachts with syinnaker to port, were speeding for the mark which was five miles away, and the Shamrock about one-fifth of a mile in the lead. The Shamrock was still holding her own at her distance of three miles from the outer mark. At the time the wind seemed to be freshening a bit and haul ing slightly to the eastward. Each boat was then under mainsail, club topsail and balloon jib. About 1:15 the Colum bia hauled aft her sheets and stood for the weather of the Shamrock. But it was all to no avail, for the green racer was hundreds of yards ahead, and com manded the situation. At 1:20 p. m. the wind showed still more increase, and the Shamrock open ed the gap still wider. Not satisfies with this good showing, which was the best of the day, the challenger set a No. 2 jib and staysail under her big balloooner. Her mainsail set stiff, while that of the Columbia seemed to be doing little work. At 1:30 both boats struck a light streak, each being affected about the same. The Columbia, however, got the first freshening breeze and pulled up on her rival. It was a grand race. At half a mile from the mark it was anybody's fight. At 1:33 down came Shamrock's balloon jib. Two minutes later Columbia fol lowed suit. Both boats were now stand ing for the mark, the Columbia creep ing up on her rival. Just as the Shamrock was about to round, it looked from the Associated Press boat as though Capt. Barr of the Columbia had established an overlap. He certainly called for room, for the Shamrock bore away and only rounded nine seconds ahead of the Columbia. The official time of rounding the outer mark was: Shamrock, 1:36:25. Columbia, 1:36:34. The surprise of the run out was the remarkable speed shown by the Colum bia during the last half mile before the turn. She kept her balloon jib a few minutes longer than the Shamrock, but even after this was in she seemed to be gaining fast. Captain Barr of the Columbia certainly got the better of the turn, and when both were awav on the starboard tack, close-hauled, she had the windward position. Both boats are now evidently running for the mark and with the wind at present rate and direction it ap appears, from here, that the boats can not finish within time limit. As the boats turned the outer mark at 1:36 the Shamrock seemed to be a length or two in the lead with both boats sailing seemingly for home. At 1:56 the Shamrock is slightly in the lead. At 2:10 p. m., the Shamrock appears to be increasing her lead. The yachts are now about four miles from turning point and both are on port tack, head ing out to sea, where they are ap parently getting better breeze. The relative position seems unchanged, but Columbia appears to be getting the best breeze. The Associated Press dispatch boat Wanda, which is nearing shore here signals that the Shamrock is ahead at 3:05. WILL NOT BE A RACE. The Columbia is off shore on the port tack at 3:07 and Shamrock star board. Both making slow tacks, the wind evidently being too light for long reaches. Yachts fully 11 miles from finish. Wind light, about three knots. At 3:33 p. m.. a dispatch boat of the Associated Press has just signalled Columbia is now ahead. The yachts nearly 8 miles to go at 3:43. It is very doubtful if they can cover the distance In time to make it a race. MUTINYON BOARD Number of Persons Killed on Excursion Steamer Which Went Out to Vievr the Yacht llace. New York, Oct. 7. The Philadelphia excursion steamboat Georgianna which went out to the cup race this morning returned to the city this afternoon with her flag at half mast and the American hoisted with the union down, indicating a death on board and wanting assist ance. As she passed the Battery the captain sung out to the police tug that a muti ny had occurred on board and that four or five persons had been killed and to come immediately. The police captain at once called a number of policemen together and started off with the tug after the Goer gianna which was making for Pier 6, North river. Chief of Police Devery, as soon as he learned of the trouble on the Georgi anna, sent several platoons of police to the North river pier, where she will dock. As soon as the captain of the Georgi anna was assured of police protection, the steamboat made up to pier four. North river, and began to make fast there. The police began to assemble at the place. The captain of a tug boat put into the Battery and shouted to the police to go aboard the Georgianna that there had been a riot and that four men had been killed. The gates to the pier were immediate ly locked and guarded by the police and no persons were allowed to enter or leave the pier. MR. WHITEHEAD DEAD. Comptroller of the Santa Fe Passes Away In New York. Mr. Edward Wilder, treasurer of the Santa Fe, today received a telegram announcing the death of Mr. John P. Whitehead, comptroller of the Santa Fe system lines for the past eleven years, at his home in New York city. Mr. Whitehead was stricken with paralysis in his office last Wednesday, and his death this morning was the result. Mr. Whitehead lived in Topeka for a number of years when he was succes sively joint auditor of the pool between the Kansas Pacific and Santa Fe roads, auditor and general auditor of the San ta Fe. In 1888 he was made comptroller of the Santa Fe, and held the position continuously since that time. Mr. Whitehead was born in London, England, January 25, 1837, and entered railroad service as a clerk in accounting department of the Chicago North western railway in December, 1866, DAILY CAPITAL SUIT.

The action of the supreme court re opens the case. Picture display at "Unity church" continued tonight and until Monday noon. LESSONLEARNED. The British Are Profiting fcy Shafter's Experience In Taking the United States Army to Santiago. SEVENTY BIG SHIPS And a Number of Transports Are Engaged In Conveying Men and Supplies to South Africa. (Copyright, 1S99, by Associated Press.) London, Oct. 7. The scope of Great Britain's military preparations can scarcely be grasped by the mere read ing of Individual items as these ap pear from day to day. A fair notion of their immensity can te gained from the semi-official statement that for the transport of the army corps about seventy ships of from 2,000 to 4,000 tons burden are required, not including a score or more of transports, already on the way to the Cape. If these vessels effectively disembark their cargoes of men, horses and equipment within five weeks from their date of sailing the programme will have fulfilled the fore casts of the most optimistic British military experts. If all the troops are able to take their places as component parts of the army corps by the end of November they will have done, according to the best avail able opinion, remarkably well. -The dis embarking of Gen. Shafter's army from its 37 transports is not forgotten by British officers. Although the vessels to be employed in the Cape service are of considerably larger average tonnage than those which carried the Ameri cans to Santiago de Cuba, the admiral ty, in accordance with the existing reg ulations, is suppling them all, and taking complete charge from waters edge to waters edge. This means a tremendous outlay of capital. Nor do the arrangements escape crit icism. Letters begin to appear in the newspapers alleging favoritism and de claring that some of the transports are "rotten hulks." The recent break down of two vessels with troops on board is cited as substantiating this charge, but there does not seem to be any serious ground for supposing that the admiral ty is actuated by wrong motives. Although the impending army corps is a matter of pre-eminent military in. terest the troops already on the scene of probable action, constitute no insig nificant body. Tha original Cape garri son was 9.000 men and this has been in creased by 4.500. There are 12.0uo men at sea, on the way to the Cape and their arrival will make the approximate total of British troops in South Africa, prior to the arrival of tV army corps, 23,500. These troops do not include the irreg ular forces, the Cape mounted sentinels, the Port Elizabeth and Grahamtown volunteers, the Natal police, the Dur ban light infantry, the Australian force and the regular naval brigade. The Cape squadron now includes ten war ships, all heavily manned, and the British first class protected cruisers Terrible and Powerful will soon arrive, enabling the navy to land a brigade of about 2,000 men. Against this array are opposed the Transvaal and its ally, the Orange Free State, with perhaps a sprinkling of natives. This is about all that can be said regarding the Boer forces. They are virtually non-regulars and attempts to estimate their fighting strength are hopeless, although various calculations appear daily in the English newspapers ranging from 25,000 to 125, 000 the latter figure being obviously very extravagant. The whole quesiion was, summed up today for the Associated Press by an influential member of the house of com mons, who said: "Before this is ended Great Britain will have to face every Boer man or boy strong enough to fire a gun for the sake of his country." The party which the foreigners who are volunteering under the Boer stand ard, especially Americans, will take in the expected conflict provokes much supposition and comment. The corre spondent of the St. James Gazette at Pietermaritzburg says: "American civil and mechanical engi neers have been engaged by the Boers to dismantle the Netherlands railway in the event of a Boer retrograde move ment upon Pretoria. They will cer tainly not meet with too considerate treatment if taken prisoners. Some thing like a dozen of these adventurous Yankees are professional railroad wreckers, now living in comparative clover in Pretoria." The Boer ranks will certainly include a number of Irishmen and former offi cers of the German army. It is said the Boers will adopt the policy they adopted in 1881. when ten sharpshooters were detailed out of each company to pick off the British offi cers. The Alaska negotiations proceed, al though Sir Louis H. Davies, the Canad ian minister of marine and fisheries is taking a short vacation in Scotland, with Lord Strathcona and Mount Royal, the Canadian high commission er. The Associated Press learns that there is a good prospect of a tentative settlement within a fortnight, although a definite arrangement apparently can not be reached until the joint high commission ratifies the pending modus Vivendi. The French navy is installing wireless telegraph between the light houses along the French coast. Judging from the results of the preliminary experi ments, the installation will prove of great value to shipping. Justin McCarthy, the historian and novelist, has just undergone the last of a series of operations for the relief of his eyes, and it is now expected that his sight will be completely restored. Charles Frohman will give the first English production of Hall Caine's play, "The Christian," next Monday evening at Liverpool. The Cunard line steamship Etruria will take Sir Henry Irving and Miss Ellen Terry from Liverpool for New York on October 14. Nat Goodwin will sail for the United States the same day. DEATHS AND FUNERALS. Mrs. Emma E. Jewett, aged 54 years, died Thursday night at her home, 307 Branner street. The funeral will be held Sunday at two o'clock from the Third Christian church. Mrs. Jewett was the mother of J. J. Jewett and Mrs. G. M. Wrebster. Picture display at "Unity church" continued tonight and until Aionday noon. SANTA FE TO PAY. The Company Will Furnish. Meal to the Twentieth. The Santa Fe Railway company will pay the Harvey eating house people for furnishing the meals to members of the Twentieth Kansas regiment on the trip from San Francisco to Topeka, and wait for reimbursement until the next session of the legislature. General Passenger Agent Black of the Santa Fe says the regiment will be on the road three days, as considerable time will necessarily have to be spent at the various meal stations. The bill of the Harvey people will be paid in cash by the road, as will also the bill of the Pullman company for furnishing sleepers for the troops. The action of the road is very gratify ing, as the meals for the entire regi ment on the road three days will amount to a considerable sum. JUST AS THEY FOUGHT The Twentieth Will Appear On Topeka's Streets. The people of Kansas who come to Topeka for the reception to the Twen tieth Kansas will have the satisfaction and the privilege of seeing the fighters march in the uniform and with the guns which they used in. the Philippine cam paign. Permission for the regiment to retain the arms and equipment has been re ceived by Governor Stanley from the chief of ordnance at Washington. This is in response to a request made by the governor at the suggestion of the general committee. The governor becomes responsible for the return of the guns to the federal government and upon this condition the members of the regiment are permitted to come home in all the regalia of war. This means that the regiment will have additional inducement to remain intact after the demonstration of honor and welcome in this city. MR. NILES KILLED. Wealthy Topeka Citizen Meets a Yiolent Death. Byron B. Niles, one of the pioneers of Topeka, was found dead in his buggy near Gordon and Taylor streets in North Topeka Friday evening shortly after 7 o'clock. The body was leaning over one side of the buggy with the head between the wheel and shaft, and blood was flowing from an ugly wound over the ear, caused, apparently, by the head striking the wheel. The buggy was first noticed by sev eral men standing in front of the gro cery store at the corner of Gordon and Taylor streets. The horse was walking slowly and it was seen that the seat was vacant. Asher Hunter, one of the men, stepped into the road and caught the horse by the bridle, and then it was discovered that the body of a man was pitched forward across the side of the buggy. Hunter called a colored man named McDonald, and together they placed the body in an upright position. The flesh was still warm, but life was extinct. It is believed that death resulted ac cidentally, although it was at first thought that apoplexy was the cause. The coroner's jury this morning returned a verdict of accidental death, on the the ory that Mr. Niles was thrown forward on the wheel by the sudden lurching of the buggy. Sheriff Cook was informed by a man living about two miles west of North Topeka that when Mr. Niles passed his place the horse he was driv ing was to all appearances endeavoring to run away. The jury took its theory from this information and decided that Mr. Niles fell with sufficient force against the wheel to cause his death. The body was taken to Stoker's under undertaking rooms last night and Mrs. Niles and her daughter sent for. It was then thought that possibly the wound over the ear was causer! hv a blow or a bullet, and later a careful j fiaiiiiiiauun was maae Dy Drs. Stewart, McClintock and Lindsay and Coroner Westerfleld. It was the opinion of each of the physicians that the wound was the result of Mr. Niles falling forward and striking his head on the wheel. Mr. Niles was 72 years of age. and lived at the corner of Sixth and Taylor streets for 33 years. He was quite wealthy, and owned the farm at Me noken in addition to his homestead on West Sixth street. At the time of the boom Mr. Niles was offered an enor mous sum for his homestead property by parties who desired to erect resi dence flats at that corner, but he re fused it. The funeral will be held from the residence at Sixth and Taylor streets Sunday afternoon. MISS COLLINS PAID. The Preferred Accident Insurance company has paid to Miss Grace Col lins $2,500 with interest for one year, be ing her share of the $5,000 insurance carried by the late J. S. Collins. The remaining $2,500 will not be paid to John Collins, who is named as bene ficiary in the policy. The Travelers' in surance company refused to pay and Superintendent of Insurance McNall threatened to bar the company from doing business in the state unless the money was paid. The case is pending in the supreme court. WILL SELL BONDS. The directors of the Elmwood club de cided Friday night to accept Mr. Wil der's suggestion for the construction of a club house, and a committee consist ing of Frank Bonebrake, A. A. Rodgers, A. A. Scott, John E. Frost and H. D. Crosby was appointed to arrange for the sale of bonds. Two series of bonds will be issued. Series "A" will amount to $4,500, and will be taken by Mr. Wilder personally. In payment he will turn over the three lots at the corner of Tenth and Bu chanan street, valued at $1,500, a.nd pav in $3,000 in cash. The bonds will bear 5 per cent interest, and will run 10, 20 or 30 years as the directors may decide. Series "B" will amount to not more than $4,000, and will be i!iued in denom inations of $25. 5$, and $100. These bonds will be taken by members of the club and will be secured by the furni ture the club proposes to purohase with money raised from initiation fees, and a second mortgage on the club house and property. A first mortgage will be taken on the property by Mr. Wilder. SOLD TO YERA CRUZ. Havana,Oct. 7. The Spanish govern ment has sold the Havana floating dock for $600,000 to a syndicate of Vera Cruz merchants. The second series of bonds will be paid from a sinking fund. As the club house can not be built this winter, the club will probably ar range to rent the Bennett property or some other large residence for several months. KANSANS ARRIVE Got. Stanley and Party Hare Beached San Francisco. San Francisco, Oct. 7. Governor W. E. Stanley of Kansas and a representa tive delegation of citizens of his state, have arrived to meet the returning Kansas volunteers who are coming; on the transport Tartar. A $1,000 WATCH. To Be Presented to Dewey by the City of Boston. Boston, Oct. 7. Admiral Dewey will receive a $1,000 watch from the munici pality of Boston. The city will spend $12,000 giving the admiral a welcome. The money will be used for various purposes in connection with a parade which will be a feature of the celebra tion, and also for decorative features, one of which already suggested is the illumination of Bunker Hill monument. A committee left for Washington last night to lay before Admiral Dewey a provisional program. The governor is desirous that the people of the commonwealth should ob serve October 14, as a holiday. If Ad miral Dewey gets here in time on Fri day, it is planned to give him a ban quet on Friday evening. It is proposed to mobilize the entire state militia on the 14th. ILLEGAL TAX. State Can Not Collect Ten Per Cent on Policies tf Outside Companies. The supreme court has declared un constitutional the law passed by the last legislature providing for a tax of 10 per cent upon policies of insurance held by citizens of Kansas in companies not authorized to do business in Kan sas. This is better known as the Thomas Page case of Topeka. Mr. Page was or dered by the superintendent of insur ance to exhibit his policies of insurance, in accordance with the provisions of the law, for the levying of the tax. Mr. Page refused to do so. He was arrest ed upon a complaint charging violations of the law, sworn out by W. V. Church. Mr. Page was placed in custody and applied for release upon an application for a writ of habeas corpus in the su preme court. The court today decided the case by discharging Mr. Page. The opinion of the court was written by Justice W. A. Johnston and it was unanimously accepted as the proper construction of the points involved by Chief Justice Doster and Associate Justice W. R. Smith. MERCHANTS ORGANIZE. Co-Operative Premium Stamp Com pany Started. Topeka merchants who are opposed to the premium stamp business as it is conducted here have decided to form a co-operative organization to compete with the stamp concerns. A meeting was held last evening, attend ed by representatives of a number of the leading merchants of the city, who do not patronize the stamp company, and the preliminaries for getting the organization started were made. At the meeting last evening William Green was elected chairman and S. Snattinger secretary. A committee, consisting of Mr. Green, Julius Snat tinger, D. P. Paxton. W. S. Furman and N. F. Conkle, was appointed to draft a plan for a permanent company, and to recommend the amount of capital stock it would be necessary for the company to have in order to successfully carry on the business. A committee consisting of Abe Stein berg, W. S. Chaney and J. S. Sproat, was also appointed to draft by-laws. Another meeting will be held in the Commercial club rooms on Tuesday evening, to which all merchants inter ested in the project are invited. FOR MARSHAL OF DAY. General Hughes Prominently Men tioned For the Place. Brigadier General Hughes is very gen erally talked about for marshal of the day in connection with the reception to the Twentieth Kansas. It was the custom in New York City on Dewey day and in Philadelphia on the return of the Pennsylvania volunteers to make the ranking officer of the National guard the marshal of the parade. General Hughes is also acting colonel of Colonel Metcalf's national guard regi ment. General Hughes has a complete $300 brigadier general's full dress uniform, the onlv one in the state. This has never been worn. The general, or colonel, as he is more familarly known, has a mag nificent horse, anil altogether would grace the occasion as marshal of the day.

Commemoration of That Great Contest. Greeting of Illinois Extended hy Senator Cullom. Galesburg, 111., Oct. 7 On the campus of historic Knox college where forty one years ago Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas met in one of a memorable series of debates to de termine which should occupy a seat in, the United States senate. President Mc Kinley and Postmaster General Charles Emory Smith this morning delivered stirring addresses commemorative of the contest between those two great leaders of former days. The citizens of Galesburg turned out en masse to honor the president of the United States and the members of his cabinet and an op portunity was given them to greet their distinguished guests as they were driven in carriages through the streets of the city before the exercises at the college began. The escort to the president, under command of Capt. Charles C. Craig, met Mr. McKinley at the residence of Col. Clark E. Carr, minister to Den mark during the administration of President Harrison, where he spent the night. In the carriage with President Mc Kinley were Col. Carr, Mayor Fletcher Carney and Justice Alfred M. Craig of the Illinois supreme court. The mem bers of the cabinet in company with Dr. John Finley, former president of Knox college, and other prominent citi zens of Galesburg, followed in a long line of carriages. Everywhere along the line of march the enthusiasm of the people was unbounded, and when the college campus was reached the presi dent received a great ovation. Col. Carr presided over the exercises and the invocation was delivered by Dr. C. E. Nash, president of Lombard uni versity. Congressman George W. Prince wel comed the president to the Tenth con gressional district and the greeting on behalf of the people of Illinois was spoken by Senator Shelby M. Cullom. The brief speech of the president was listened to with the closest attention and punctuated throughout its delivery with outbursts of applause. THE PRESIDENT'S SPEECH. The president spoke as follows: "Mr. Chairman and Fellow Citizens: The time and place make this meeting memorable. Forty-one years ago on this spot two mighty leaders represent ing opposing ideas contended for mas tery before the tribune of the people. It was a contest which history will not fail to record; and some are yet living to tell of its interesting and thrilling story. It has been recited around the family fireside until to the people of Illinois it has become a household taie, inspiring love of liberty and devotion to free institutions. Here, therefore, are sacred memories which will be cherished by this community for all time and are permanetly incorporated in the life of the nation. Lincoln anil Douglas are inseparably connected in the public mind. Their association be gan in conflict and ended in co-operation. They were in antagonism for more than a generation over the interpreta tion of the constitution and were united at last when the constitution itself was assailed. They might differ as they did over the meaning of some of its provisions but when the crisis came they stood togetner ior its invioianiiity and for the inseparability of th'; Union it established. The one asserted the right of slavery under certain condi tions to enter the territories the other disputed that right under any condi tions; but both agreed that the slave power should not divide the Union. "The debate was national, historical. It commanded profound attention. It interested all sec tions. It was watched with deepest anxiety by the followers of both. It was read and studied as no other public discussion before or since. It presented the best of two conflicting schools of thought. It was epoch making and marked an epoch in our history. It touched the public con science. It influenced public thought and purpose. It made the issue im possible of escape It could be no longer avoided or evaded. It united the friends of liberty as well as those of slavery. It hastened the 'irrepressible conflict." It was not the beginning of the agita tion, but it carried it into the lives and homes of the republic, and no issue is ever rightfully settled until it is settled there. There is no little source of sat isfaction that you on the great ques tion presented in these debates while Douglas carried the legislature Lincoln had a majority of the people. The torch of liberty was not lighted here, but it flamed forth with a broader. brighter, bolder light as it was lighted up by the strong arm of Abraham Lin coln. "Three years only three years in tervened and the debate was remove:! from the arena of peaceful discussion to that of war and carnage. And then Lincoln and Douglas stood no longer di vided. Sumter was fired on April 12. .1861. On the 15th of that month Lin coln Issued his call for ia.000 troops. "The position of Douglas at '.his critical juncture was that of a patriot. Without halting or hesitation he align ed himself upon the side of the national government and threw the force of hia great personality in support of the ex ecutive. Upon the occasion of his me morable visit to Lincoln immediately after the first call for volunteers he dictated to the representative of the Associated Press a dispatch in these words: -April IS, 1861. "Senator Douglas called on the pres ident and had an interesting conversa tion pn the present condition of tha country. The substance of it was, on the part of Mr. Douglas, that while he was unalterably opposed to the admin istration in all its political issues, ha wst-s prepared to fully sustain the presi dent in the exercise of all his constitu tional functions to preserve the Union, maintain the government and defend (Continued on Sixth Page.

Sharkey In Better Condition Than Erer Before, For Bis Coming Fight With Champion Jeffries. HE IS HARD AT WORK. Some Think the Sailor "Will Win the Mill. Jeffries Considers Him Easier Than Fitzsimmons. New York, Oct. 7. The sailor pugilist, Tom Sharkey, and the champion pugilist of the world, Jim Jeffries, are now both in training for their battle for the cham pionship of the world, which is to take place in New York the latter part of this month. Jeffries Is at his old quarters at Asbury Park, while Sharkey is at New Dorp, L. I. From all accounts this will sure enough be a battle between well-trained giants and neither man is to have a walkover. Sharkev is said to be in the best condi tion he has ever been in for a prize bat tle. He is said to be thoroughly hardened. He is also reported to have lust much o his awkwardness. He was badly muscle bound when he began to box. But now he surprises the clever men who spar with him bv his shiftiness. Sharkey believes in hard work. He box es long and hard. He runs, wrestles, punches the bag .and is in motion from the get-up bell to' good night. Jeffries and his manager, Billy Brady, are confident of an easy victory. Sharkey and his manager. Tom O'Kourke, are quite certain or winning. But tnere will be hustling in both camps until the day of the fight. Charlev Daly, once St. Louis' crack light weight boxer, -and who has seen all the big nghts thinks that this time Shar kev will win. Take the records of the men," said laly, "and you will see that Sharkey has the best. True, Jeffries is tile biggest man of the two, but Sharkey weighs lt5, and a man of that weight is heavv enough for all practical purposes. Beside that, Sharkey set his neart on winning this fight a long while ago and has trained for it as he never did before. Jeffries, on the other hand, has been taking things easy and has only com menced to get in condition. Of course, at that he may win. But if he does, he will sumrise me." WHAT JEFFRIES SAYS. Training is simply a pleasure to me at this time of the year. I feel as though I could run, skip the rope, punch the bag and box for ten hours at a stretch. Of course, I don't, for I need but little hard preparation for my coming contest with Sharkey. I regard him as much less dan gerous opponent than Fitzsimmons. Nevertheless, I will take no chances, and will be in the best possible condition when I step into the ring to face the sailor. I am now down to 210 pounds, and will not reduce my avoirdupois much more. I could easily do it if necessary, by taking a few hard runs along the Long Branch, road. I am not afraid of being affected by the cold at the Coney Island clubhouse. That sort of temperature suits me, and will add 15 per cent to my chances. I will say, for the benefit of my friends that I have studied out a system of de fense which. I think, will more than coun teract the rushing tactics for which, I believe, Sharkey is noted. The situation of my training quarters at Loch Arbor is the best, I think that could have been selected near New York. The salt air is a constant bracer and makes me feel as though i never wanted to go to bed. When 1 get through with KnarKey 1 tninit x will give jreier -ianer the first chance. McCoy, too, can have a go, but I will not split the purse with the latter. I in tend to adopt the old policy of John L. Sullivan and give every aspirant of my class a chance to meet me, so long as I hold the championship. NOTED HORSE SOLD. DelgaddoBrings Twelve ThousandDol lars in Private Sale. Lexington, Ky., Oct. 7. Bowerman Bros, have sold to Dr. J. C. McCoy, of Kirkwood, Del., the five-year-old brown stallion Delgaddo (full brother to Boreal, sire of Boralma, winner of the Kentucky Futurity), by Bow Bells out of Rosy Morn, by Alcantara, for $12,000. This horse is green- He has never raced. After he had sold Boralma to Thomas W. Lawton for J17.000, Dr. Mc Coy went after Delgaddo. "I warted one of the same family," he said. "It 13 good odds. Boralma has proved a splendid investment for me. I bought him from Scott Newman at Louisville two weeks ago, paying JlO.OoO. Since he has won the Matron stakes at Louis ville for me. That was $4,000. Now I have sold him for $17,000, making a clear profit of $11,000, besides some odd pennies out of the pool box. If Delgaddo does quite as well next year I will be satisfied." Bowerman Bros, paid $2,000 for this horse in panicky times four years ago. ALL CLUBS MADE MONEY.; President Nick Young Says This Has Been a Prosperous Ball Season. New York, Oct. 7. President Nick Young, of the National league, today made a statement that will surprise many persons. In an interview he said: "Every club in the league has made money this season. Even the poor, un fortunate Cleveland combination has come out ahead, in spite of all the diffi culties it has encountered at home. It is true some of the clubs have not been the money-makers they were expected to be, for instance, Cincinnati, because the team failed to come up to expecta tions. Chicago, in spite of the disap pointing showing made by that team, has made big money this year, if the unofficial reports which reach me are reliable. New York has not reaped a harvest of dollars, owing to local trou bles, with which the baseball world has been made familiar by the newspapers of that city. Notwithstanding the ups and downs of that club, Mr. Freedman's balance sheet will probably show a good round sum on the right side of the ledger after paying all expenses. Balti more has been the surprise of the sea son, not only as a winner but as a money-maker. Boston, Philadelphia, Pittsburg. Brooklyn, Louisville and Washington have also cleared hand some profits upon the money invested during the present year. Under the circumstances, there is no reason to be lieve that any of the magnates are go ing to sacrifice their holdings simply to verify the predictions of baseball speculators." LEXINGTON EACE1 Favorite Failed to Win In Most of the Events. Lexington, Ky., Oct. 7. The crowd fell off some from that of Transylvania day, but it was still large. The October wind had a biting touch which made overcoats necessary. The track was in fine condition. The pacing futurity, which should have been the feature of the day, was a farce. Glory broke re peatedly in both heats, and so badly in the last that Lucie May distanced her. The 2:17 pace was a big surprise. Tom Wilkes sold for 25 to 13 in the first heat and 25 to 10 la the second. He won both with apparent ease. For the third Wrilkes sold for 50 and the field for 10, but the favorite broke at the head of the stretch and finished second. Car melite won in handy fashion from Billy George. Carmelite was made favorite then, selling for 50; field 25. She took the next two heats with but little trou ble. It took seven heats to decide the 2:21 trot. A schedule of betting by heats shows how bettors tried to hedge. Maie C. was the original favorite, and after winning one heat she sold for 50; field 8. She could not keep her feet and was practically left at the post after the starter had warned her driver repeatedly. She was distanced, Earlim S. winning the second heat. Earlim S. sold for 17, the field 25, and when she took the heat her price went to 50 and the field sold for' 50. In the next heat the betting was the same. After the fifth heat Baron Belt sold for 25, the field 15. Finally, for the last heat, Ear im S. was again the favorite, the field being 15. Malsour was best and won the last heat handily. The free-for-all pace for tomorrow was declared off, only Searchlight re maining in. Mr. S. H. Bronson of New Haven, Conn., offered to match his horse. Searchlight, against any pacer on the track for $2,500 to $5,000. He also offered to race with any three pacers for $2,500 a side, each racing with Searchlight a single heat. LAVIGNE KNOCKED OUT. Whipped by George McFadden In the Nineteenth Round. New York, Oct.' 7. George McFadden of this city knocked out George (Kid) Lavigne, ex-light weight champion of the world, in the nineteenth round, be fore the New Broadway Athletic club last night. They met at 133 pounds and put up a fight which was as sensational as it was prolific hard hitting and clever ring work. McFadden's blocking of the Kid's rushes and leads was phe nomenal, and toward the end of the bout he had the Saginaw boxer very raw and sore. At the opening Lavigne was the favorite, but after the twelfth round odds of 100 to 80 were freely of fered on McFadden. Lavigne was well battered, and sev eral minutes elapsed before he realized what had happened to him. McFadden left the ring virtually without a mark. LEWIS RETTB, WRESTLER. Desires to Match Any Two Kansas Man Catch as Catch Can In 80 Minutes. Lewis Rueb, who is stopping In To peka, wishes to Issue a challenge through the State Journal to wrestle and defeat any two men in Kansas at catch-as-catch-can in SO minutes. He will make the match two falls for each man. and wrestle continuously, taking out no rest. The match to take place at the Olympic club, a new ath letic club in Topeka. Rueb was with the Fitzsimmons show and wrestled with Ernest Roeber. Rueb is a good man and would put up a good match. If his challenge is accepted an exhibi tion will be arranged with some other good attractions such as Oscar Gardner. Rueb would like to hear from Kansas wrestlers. MEDICS DEFEAT OTTAWA. Two Sours and Five Min utes of Play With the Score 16 to 5. Kansas City, Oct. 7. It took the Medics two hours and five min utes to defeat the Ottawa uni versity foot ball team in two thirty minute halves at Exposition park yes terday afternoon, by a score of 16 to 5. The balance of the time was consumed in wrangling over rules and interpreta tions of rules, and in allowing fallen gladiators to recover breath. From the standpoint of the spectators there were but a few interes Tg moments in the game, and there w i so many kicks of one kind and anotner that even the players were more or less dissatisfied with the contest. Ottawa won the toss and took the south goal. Holman kicked to Barnett, who returned ten yards. The Medics got the ball on a fumble, after a wran gle which lasted some time. One down went without a gain, and then Heller got around the right end until he was within a yard of the goal line. He dropped the ball, and Foorman, who recovered it, fell over the line for a touch down, after four minutes of play. Holman kicked out, and Lewis, who heeled, failed to make the goal. Gill kicked off to Moreley, who came back fifteen yards. After a gain of twenty yards on three downs, the Medics lost the ball on a fumble. Ot tawa worked it back thirteen yards on four downs and then lost it on a fum ble. Heller, Poorman and Moreley made gains of fifteen, eight and five yards, and then Ottawa took the ball on downs. The Kansas men could not gain much, and by a great play Ewing went through the line and took the ball away from Lambertson. In a dozen downs the Medics took the ball almost to the goal line, and in a close formation Moreley was pushed over for a touch down. Lewis kicked the goal, making the score 11 to 0, where is remained for the rest of the first half. HELLER MAKES A GOOD RUN. The other touch down of the Medics was made with but a minute to play in the second half. Porter, who had taken the place of Robinson, who in turn had replaced Moreley, got around the left end for a nice run of twenty five yards, and on the next play Heller went through right tackle for fifteen yards and a touchdown. The line-up was: Medics. Position. Ottawa. Atwood left end Lewis Settel left tackle Peterson Hill left guard Baughman Baum center Newell Wyson right guard Hess Ewing right tackle.

Each Says Other Is Responsible For Early Fight. MUCH HARD WORK. Curtis Seems to Hare Advan tage of Organization. What M. A. Low's Candidacy Really Means. Charles Curtis and his friends claim to have made an effort to keep the First congressional district fight in abeyance this year, but the activity of the oppo sition has compelled them to go to work and they are making the best of the means which they have at their com mand. Both Mr. Bailey and Mr. Curtis con tend that the fight should have been put off another year, but they are now both as busy as they can be seeing the people in the district in their respective interests. Bailey is charged by the Curtis supporters with the responsibil ity of inaugurating the trouble which the district is now having. However, he claims not to have commenced his campaign until the movements on the checker board in the hands of the Cur tis forces compelled him to do so. Mr. Bailey says he is merely defending his own interests; the Curtis men claim Bailey is premature in making a fight for an office when he has not yet drawn one cent of pay for the office to which he has been elected, congressman at large. W'hile the Bailey forces, headed by Mr. Bailey himself have been making a personal campaign they have not yet effected an organization by which they propose to add strength to the side of the controversy which they represent. On the other hand the Curtis forces are busy and have selected the men for whom they will ask support in addi tion to the support which they them selves seek for the present congress man. These gentlemen are as follows: Delegate at large from the district to the national Republican convention M. A. Low. District delegates Judge J. S. Emery of Nemaha county and David W. Mulvane of Shawnee county. The Curtis forces admit the selection of these men to help make the cam paign for the places mentioned but they refuse to explain what the motive is. The ticket or slate, has set the poli ticians in the opposition camp specu lating in every direction but even the wise Mr. Leland does not fully under stand it. He is inclined to fear that the entrance of Mr. Low into the campaign for this place may mean a fight to re tire Mr. Leland himself from the na tional committee. Then, too, the Baker forces are at a expend great nerve energy The organs of the body need vigorous nerves to insure their healthy action Suffering of acute nervousness loss to understand the report that this is a Burton-Curtis combination. That the two men will rely upon the ar rangement which has been made to carry the district in their interest. Last week the State Journal publish ed the fact that Mr. Low would be a candidate for the position of delegate, representing the First district and in timated at the time that a fight for the place new held by Leland on the national committee might be made by Mr. Low's friends. One of the Curtis managers exploits the fact that this is an agreement be tween Curtis and Burton, but the friends of Mr. Baker decline to accept this statement as a fact. One of the principal reasons is that the indications point to the fact that at the proper time Mr. Low will be for the re-election of Mr. Baker. If this be true then Mr. Low has not gone into a Burton combination because he is not the kind of a man who says one thing and does something else. So far as in tegrity and fair dealing go there is not a man in Kansas who has a higher rep utation than Mr. Low. The trouble is Mr. Low keeps his own counsel. When he is ready to make a move he makes it and he does not ask the permission of any man to do it. Judge Emery's selection as a candi date for delegate is a bold step Into the enemy's camp. Emery was judge of the district court, the position now be ing held by W. I. Stuart. Emery was a popular man at home, but the politi cians, headed by Mr. Leland, defeated him for renomination after a fight which threatened to disrupt the party in that judicial district and was re sponsible for the bitterness against Leland which some of the papers of the district are now expressing. There are Republicans in Nemaha county who think Mr. Emery was not fairly treated and they are ready to do battle for him. This is not the first move made in the enemy's stronghold by Curtis.

The influential Republicans met him on the street and expressed pleas ure at seeing him and many of them promised him support. The reception accorded Curtis both in Trop and in the surrounding country, surprised Cur tis' friends immensely and they are overjoyed to know that Curtis stands so well in the home of the man who is making it his life work to retire him from congress. The Bailey men figure that if Curtis can be defeated next summer he will be compelled to retire to private life. They claim that in the event the next legis lature is Republican, Shawnee county will be put back in the Fourth district. If Curtis is then not In congress they believe he will not have another oppor tunity to go to Washington, provided Bailey and his friends can wrest from him the nomination next year.

Will Not Be Pat On Until Fly ers Are Discontinued. FAST TIME TO COAST. Limited Trains Will Hake the Trip In 66 Hours. Railroad News of a General and Local Nature. For the present, the Santa Ke man agement has abandoned the idea of es tablishing an additional overland train between Chicago and Kansas City inci dental to the opening of the new line into the California metropolis. The through train service during the winter will consist of trains 1 and 2 and the limited trains four times each week. What will be done when the flyers are taken oft in the spring is still a question, and depends largely on the showing made in passenger traffic on the San Joaquin Valley road after Its opening. It is looked upon as a certain ty, however, that one through train will be unable to accommodate the travel to and from the coast after the. limited service is discontinued, and a second overland train will have to be estab lished. Next fall, the second through train may be turned into a daily limi ted train, or if traffic is heavy, limited service will be inaugurated in addition, and three through trains run between Chicago and San Francisco. The Santa Fe limited train this win ter will make the trip from Chicago to the coast in 66 hours. When the San Joaquin Valley line is opened into San Francisco, the time of the trains be tween Chicago and Kansas City may be cut in order to get them into San Fran cisco earlier. The regular equipment of the limited trains this year will consist of six cars. Several new observation and composite cars are now building at the Pullman works, and all cars will have wide ves tibules and be equipped with electric lights. The rule allowing only first-class paid tickets to be honored on the limited trains will remain in effect. No free transportation will be accepted, not even from officials of the company. ADVANTAGE FOB SANTA FE. It Is Interested In the Colorado Southern Line Out of Denver. Denver, Oct. 7. Recent developments In railroad matters, and especially the build ing by the Colorado Southern railway of a line through Platte canon, which probably will be the much-looked for Den ver and Cripple Creek road, have brought to light the close connection formed with in the last vear between the Colorado Southern and the Midland road. So close has this connection become th.'it among the railroad men the rumor is abroad that the Colorado Midland is to have a share in the benefits to be reaped by the Colo rado Southern from its proposed new line to Cripple Creek. The arrangement includes for the Col orado Southern a short line to Cripple Creek, using the tracks of the Colorado Midland and the Midland Terminal and for the Colorado Midland a short line from Leadville to Denver which will en able it to compete on a more than an equal footing with the Rio Grande. The Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe. rec ognized tc be hand in glove with the Midland also will come in for a share of the benefits, in that it will have a short and valuable middle country route which will give it a Pacific connection that will comiHJte with the Vnion Pacific on the north, and the Rio Grande on the south. In the great scheme of transcontinental traffic the Santa Fe as the co-partner of the Midland, would reap its benefit in be ing able to cover the territory in the mid dle of Colorado, in a way it has never been able to before. Denver would then become a terminus of the Santa Fe rath er than a way station on the big system, which is the position which it now occu pies. RIGHT OF WAY GRANTED. Survey of Wichita Southern Road to Be Commenced. Wichita, Oct. 7. Senator O. IT. Bentley has received a letter from W. H. Arnold, general manager of the Wichita and Southern railroad, stating that he had secured the right-of-way for his road through the Indian territory. The right-of-wav was granted by the secretary of the interior as soon as the plans of the road was presented to him. Mr. Arnold also states that he has signed a contract with eastern financiers for the funds to construct the road and that the money will be available as soon as the promoters are furnished with in formation regarding the road and the nec essary preliminary work is done by the local men. Mr. Arnold urges Senator Bentley to have the Wichita men ready to advance the money for the preliminary survey at once. He will return to New York in a few days and will then commence the survey. The eastern financiers insist that the survey must be made of the line be fore they will advance the money to con struct it. Several months ago George Dixon and J. O. Davidson reported that thev had $10,000 in their control for the surveying of the line, so it is thought there will be no delay. LIABILITY SHIFTED. Union Pacific Claimed to Be Liable For Stock Killed by Rock Island. Denver, Oct. 7. The question as to which road is liable for accidents be tween Limon and Denver, the Rock Is land or the Union Pacific, was raised in a suit before Judge Butler. Ruth E. Burton commenced an action against the Rock Island for $227 damages for stock killed near Deer Trail. The en gineer is said to have been negligent in not warning the stock of the train's ap proach. In reply., the road denies carelessness and denies its liability by saying that it simply has a right of way from the Union Pacific between the two points, j ana mat me trams are operated under the control of the Union Pacific offi cials, who are liable it anyone. The case was non-suited as no documentary evi dence was introduced showing the rela tions ot the roads. An appeal was en tered. DAMMED A CREEK. Rock Island Called Upon to Fay Dam ages For an Overflow. Wichita. Oct. 7. Three damage suits, aggregating $3,500, have been filed in the district court against the Chicago, Rock Island Pacific Railway com pany as a result of the big overflow along the Cowskin creek, near Hays ville last May. Nearly the entire coun try along the creek was overflowed, and the crops of many of the farmers in i that section were ruined. Numerous damage suits were threatened then, but the farmers thought they would be able to compromise the matter with the railroad company .and thus avoid the courts'. Yesterday J. Fv Fager, Caleb Shaw and H. C. Wadkins filed their petitions at the same time, through their attor neys, Amidon Conly, asking dam ages for their' respective crops which were ruined by the high waters. From their petitions it seems that the Rock Island road crosses the Cowskin, a natural stream, near Haysville, and in making the roadbed over the Cowskin the company made deep excavations on each side of the roadbed and also threw up embankments on which the track was laid, of sufficient height to stop the flow of water in the creek. The natural flow of water, it is alleged, is perman ently stopped by these embankments. SHOPS RUN AT NIGHT. An Unusual Order Is Made by the M- K. T. Management. Denison, Texas, Oct. 7. The employes at the Missouri, Kansas and Texas ma chine shops have received notice that, beginning tonight the entire force will work until 10:30 p. m., every night until further notice. It has been found neces sary to do this on account of the great amount of work on hand and the shortage of motive power. Never in the history of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas has this department of the service been so heavily taxed, and it is for the purpose of getting every en gine on the system in good order and re pair that this step is taken. It is under stood that the Parsons and Sedalia shops will be similarly affected. STEEL FREIGHT CARS. Colorado Southern Road Will Use Them In Coal and Ore Traffic Denver, Oct. 7. The Colorado South ern railway is the first of the roads of the state to order steel freight cars. The 100 steel cars recently ordered will arrive before the close of the present month. The cars will be utilized in carrying coal and ore and it is freely prophesied by railroad transportation men that the days of wooden freight cars axe about to come to a close. Electric headlights are being placed in the locomotives of the Colorado and an additional cafe car for use between Den ver and gulf points has been ordered. Byron Cross Promoted. Byron Cross, superintendent of the bridge and building of the Oklahoma division of the Santa Fe, has been pro moted to superintendent of construc tion of bridges and building on the Ok lahoma and Eastern railroad, which is being built north from Guthrie to Ca ney, Kan. J. M. Wells of Augusta, a foreman in the bridge and building de partment, has been appointed superin tendent to fill Mr. Cross's place. The changes take place immediately Well ington Mail. Grain Car Famine. St. Joseph, Mo., Oct. 7. The Burling ton people today were notified by the Mississippi river connections that they will turn no more loaded cars to them without the delivery of loaded cars In return. The car famine Is becoming serious. The Maple Leaf is short over 800 cars, and none of the roads running into St. Joseph from the west can fur nish cars to relieve the elevators, which are congested throughout the grain belt. No relief is in sight. Albuquerque Depot. The Commercial club of Albuquerque has appointed a committee to draft suit able resolutions requesting the Santa Fe company to speedily proceed to the con struction of a depot and hotel that would be a credit and blessingto the city as well as a just index to the importance of Al buquerque as a railroad point. The city council will prepare similar resolutions. Albuquerque Journal-Democrat. RAILROAD LOCALS. Rob Slusser Is laying off on account of sickness. He has malarial fever. An extra switch engine has been put on in the yards here, to work at 4 a. m. and at 4 p. m. There is a great deal of extra work to be done at these times, and the extra engine will facilitate matters very much. Rob Barnes has reported for work. Runs No. 106 and 107, recently va cated by E. D. Webb, is advertised for a fireman. Also the mail run recently vacated by Roger Williams. The coal train and the ballast train runs are advertised for both engineers and fire men. New Baldwin engine No. 840 will be sent west today for service. Fireman Ed Connelly has reported for work. Engine No. 2,231 was broken In yes terday afternoon by Amos Beeler. Engineer Polly has reported for work after a couple of days' lay off. Engine No. 82S is taking the place of No. 638 on runs 6 and 7. Engineers Scahill and McGinnis have reported for work. Engineer Islip, of the Leavenworth Holiday passenger run, is visiting rela tives in the city while his engine is in the shops for repairs. Ben Butler is now boss wiper. Fireman Berry is laying off. One of William Glenn's hands Is swelled up as big as two hands. Friday, as he was going home walking along First street, he felt something strike against his hand. He closed his hand but quickly opened it again, for it was a wasp which was quietly resting there, and now Bill is trying to get his hand back to its original size. E. J. McDonald, Archie M. Baird and C. T. McLellan, left this morning on special train for a short trip of inspec tion over the cut off. PROM BELLEVILLE. Items Concerning Rock Island Peo ple In Northern Kansas.

The amount t business the Rock Is land is doing out of Belleville is enor mous. The local west bound is running in two sections almost daily, and No. 90. east bound, usually goes out in four and five sections. Engineer James Gleason and wife are visiting friends in Kansas City. Simon Gregg, helper in the freight house, has resigned and gone to Okla homa to engage in other business. He is succeeded by C. A. Day, of Kensing ton. Conductor W. A. Pike has resumed his work on the Clay Center local after a 60 days' visit in the east. Lineman Carl Hanson has purchased the lunch counter opposite the depot Mrs. J. A. McQuaid, wife of Engineer McQuaid. is visiting friends in Daven port, la. V. A. Myers has been assigned to pas senger engine No. 310 between Belleville and McFarland. The promotion is a deserved one. Edwin Harding, of Topeka, traveling freight and live stock agent, has been transferred to Belleville, and has moved his family here. This is a stroke of en terprise on the part of the Rock Island, and here after the stock shipments on this line will be carefully watched by Mr. Harding. T. L. Uter, heretofore running be tween Belleville and McFarland, has been assigned to a passenger run be tween Belleville, McFarland and Phil lipsburg. Engines 301 and 310 have taken the place of Nos. 184 and 210, on passenger runs between Belleville and lIcFarland. This change is made on account of the growing business of the Rock Island, as the former can pull heavier loads. The substantial improvements being made in and around the Belleville round house lead many to believe that the Rock Island has many more good things in store for this place. The work now being done here is a gravel roof on the roundhouse, a boiler and pump for washing boilers and an iron turntable. Fireman M. B. Weaver, of passenger service between Belleville, McFarland and Phillipsburg, is laying off for a few weeks' visit. Day Operator W. H. Schissler has re sumed his station after a layoff of a few weeks. Roadmaster Sweeney has just com pleted a new passing track at Keats, 1,660 feet long. This track will be kept clear, and only used by passing trains. I. J. Ketchum, general car inspector of the Rock Island, paid his Belleville friends a visit this week. Roadmaster Sweeney's division cov ers 168 miles. Of this mileage 95 miles has already been ballasted with stone taken from the Montrose, Jewell county quarries. The farmers are offering more wages to hands than the railroad com pany, hence the Rock Island is short of men in this work. Mrs. Mollie Nelson, wife of Dr. C. E. Nelson, of Phillipsburg, and daughter of Roadmaster Sweeney, of the Rock Island, is visiting her parents in Belle ville. The Rock Island is hauling thousands of head of cattle to the corn counties through which the road runs, to take advantage of the magnificent crops raised this year. Train after train load passes through here-almost daily to be fed this winter in the great corn coun ties of the north and northwest. Their business is enormous for this time of year. The Rock Island is to north and northwest Kansas what the Santa Fe has long been for southwest Kansas. Towns have more than doubled in popu lation since the building of this great road through this section of Kansas. FROM DODGE CITY. Conductor Hughes has resigned. Conductor Healey has Hughes car and crew. Conductor Sears has returned from Denver. Engineer Frank Otys has gone to Las Vegas on a 30 days' visit. Night Yardmaster Walker spent the forepart of the week at Salina and Hutchinson. Brakeman Stanton has returned from the La Junta hospital and will soon be ready for duty. More tickets were sold in the rail road offices in this city fn September than during any September for eight years. done by the mixed train on the Rock done by the mived train on the Rock Island road, which arrives here so often behind time, it is probable, says Agent Snideman, that another train will be put on the western division. Master Mechanic Forester, in charge of the Colorado Southern railroad shops in Denver, telegraphed to Engi neer Ben Oldham that he had employ ment for him. While in charge of the La Junta shops. Forester discharged Oldham, apparently without cause, as it now appears. Ben has had a "lay off" of two years and two days. FROM FLORENCE. C. W.Creasy is acting as agent here while Mr. Monroe is taking a vacation. There is a story out now that the Santa Fe will put up a new three-story brick hotel here. Engineer Turnpaugh, who runs on the McPherson branch opposite to Engineer Hampson, has been laying off this week in order to move his family here from Emporia. Engineer Charley Sanborn has been reinstated in the employ of the Santa Fe. This will please every one, for there is not a more competent or worthy man on the system. Brakeman Brazier, who nas been on the McPherson branch a year or so, has been promoted to a conductorship and is running out of Wellington. Dave Martin takes his place on the branch. Mr. John Shields was in Florence this week, Good things are coming John's way now. He recently won one of the best girls of Wichita for his life partner, and this week he was promoted to be an engineer. And he deserves all his good fortune. It is such men as John who will get to the top in railway service. Homer Palmer, of the car repairing force, picked up a dynamite cap at the depot, and not knowing what it was, began picking at it. The cap exploded and blew off the end of Homer's thumb, the end of his index finger and broke the bone of the middle finger. It was his left hand that was injured. It will be a number of weeks before he is able to work. Eat plenty, Kodol Dyspepsia Cure will digest what you' eat. It cures all forms of dyspepsia and stomach troubles. E. R. Gamble. Vernon.

As a further evidence of a reunited country, the bands at Qulncy played "Dixie" on the occasion of the presi dent's arrival yesterday. Mexico has discovered a use for vice presidents. She sends them to attend entertainments gotten up outside the country, when the president is invited. The weather during the week closing today will recall to the mind of the older settler the time when Kansas had weeks of such during the autumn months. Congressman-elect Brigham H. Rob erts of Utah is getting a rest. A num ber of big church conventions have been held lately at which his name was not mentioned. By the time Admiral Dewey wit nesses some of the football games this fall, he will come to the conclusion that hiB little affair in Manila bay was not so much of a scrimmage after all. In seeking for somebody with whom they can beat Carter Harrison, Illinois Republicans have hit upon the most likely man in the state. If George R. Peck can't do it probably nobody can. The United States paid $20,000,000 for the Philippines and Germany has just handed over to Spain $5,000,000 for the Carolines and yet there is not what would be called a boom in the real es tate market. Nebraska Republicans in state con vention declared in favor of a revision of the national constitution, and this too, after the supreme court has spent a century in efforts to make us under stand the one we now have and is still working on the same job. A signed statement from Admiral Dewey, that he will not under any cir cumstances accept a nomination for the presidency, is what the politicians of both parties would like to see. Then they could go ahead fighting over the money question and the spoils, undis turbed. If it were not for an occasional hap pening like that of the killing of some hundreds of mules on board the trans port Siam during a storm in Philippine waters, the world might ultimately be overrun by these long-eared animals. Nobody ever heard of a mule's dying peacefully in bed. In his manner of accepting the offer of a home In Washington, Admiral Dewey has displayed the same tact and common sense which has characterized his every act and utterance since he came so prominently before the public as the result of hi3 victory over the Spanish in Manila Bay. Washington Star: Gen. Funston once said he doubted whether his state would offer him any office which he would feel like accepting. By nominating him for congress, his estimate of the import ance of the national legislative body will be definitely placed on record. The general should remember that all Kan sas congressmen are not alike. There have been some very admirable speci mens. AUTUMN FOTJAGE. For the first time in a number" of years the trees in this part of Kansas are taking on those brilliant colors of foliage for which the autumn season in this state was once noted. The condi tions are right for a beautiful display of nature's coloring frosty nights, bright days and an entire absence of rain. Commenting on this change in foliage coloring, from green to red, brown, yel low and chocolate the Cincinnait Com mercial Tribune says: As yet learned arboriculturists are unable to offer a satisfactory explana tion for the changes in the color of the leaves at this season. All they know is that some maples change to a yellow and others not many feet away change to a scarlet. Some oaks take on the most vivid reds, and others near by change to brown and chocolate without a reason. It is said that American ma ples planted in England keep up their habit of changing colors in the fall, while the English maples planted in America act as they did in England, that is, they pass from the deep green to the brown state without the inter mediary scarlet. Some attribute the change to loss of vitality, and cite the cases of leaves upon dying branches developing bright scarlets and yellows even in midsum mer. But this is exceptional, and does not account for all the changes. No one has been able to tell why one leaf takes on a brilliant red. another yellow another purple, and still others differ ent shades of brown. And more, an oak will be yellow at a certain time, while one of the same species not a rod away will be resplendent in scarlet. Yet it matters but little. The why and the wherefore are not Important, except as an addition to man's store of knowledge. The fact remains that the glories of autumnal foliage are a pleas ure to the tired eyes of man. and that, as the season rolls around, millions love the change, without xvonderins: or mik ing why. GLOBE SIGHTS From the Atchison GlobeJ Every man in town seems to imagine he is qualified to umpire the hits and fouls of reporters. No one can be romantic, and have enough sense to be trusted, with the buying of a sack of salt, A man admits that he Is growing old just as he admits a great many things he doesn't believe. There never lived a man outside of books who thought he was too old to marry any child he admired. The women do not care how severely a man scores their sex if he will admit that he loves one of them. Almost every man is In rebellion against his wife and daughter, the same as he was against his mother years before. A woman wearing a rainy day skirt, dropped a bundle on the street today, and was afraid to stoop over, and pick it up. She therefore called a police man. A girl brought up in idleness, is more apt to become dissatisfied with married life, and vote life a failure, and become a poorer wife and mother, than the girl who has had tasks at home. The latest Atchison woman to be talked about, has an indulgent, kind and industrious husband. Whenever you find an unfaithful wife, you will find that she has a kind and indulgent husband. If you want to find a woman whose chastity is like adamant, find a woman who has a loafing, mean, worthless husband. Atchison people once knew a woman who was married to a vicious, quarrelsome, worthless loafer, and the patient manner in which she worked for a living, attract ed favorable comment everywhere. She was truly a wonderful woman, and when her husband was killed in a drunken row, her good reputation re sulted in an offer of marriage from an excellent man of means. He was in dulgent and kind, and his wife soon lost her good qualities, and became a loafer, devoting her time to afternoon parties, card playing, and club meet ings. Finally there was "talk" about her, in connection with a gay loafer about town, and the "talk" was not without foundation. About that time people became disgusted with the wo man, and quit watching her career. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. The seat of learning is often worn threadbare. Talk is cheap probably because of the overproduction. A hole is the only thing a man can keep in an empty pocket. The gossip delivers many a telling blow, but they are always foul. Oysters, like ambitions, soon disap pear after they get into a stew. He who builds according to every man's advice will have a queer struc ture. The man who is satisfied with himself is usually disappointed with other peo ple. Sometimes a man's will is broken af ter his demise and sometimes after his marriage. A girl pulls the wool over a man's eyes and then laughs at him bacause he looks sheepish. No matter how good a man's reputa tion for veracity may be, his friends always doubt his fish stories. Some men are so fond of an argu ment that they will dispute with a guide board about the distance to the next town. The average woman, would never be successful in running for office; she Would have to stop too often to see if her hat was on straight. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. From the New York Press. 'A woman can hide a secret jusf about as well as a sandwich-sign man can conceal his business. Woman's real greatness consists in being able to cry over the little disap pointments of life and laugh at the big ones. There probably never was a woman that weighed over a hundred and forty that didn't just love to sit on her hus band's lap. 1 If a woman could have all the new clothes she wanted and wasn't allowed to keep any old ones she would be per fectly miserable every rainy day she stayed at home. A woman always remembers longest some little fool thing her husband said when he was out of patience and the tender way he patted her face once when she was sick. JAYHAWKEB JOTS. rA' Kansas City "boom" publication la trying to work Iola for a write-up. This is the last day for filing nomina tion papers. An Atchison man is weighted down with Hekelnkaemper as a name. The Arkansas City Traveler still re fers to ex-Senator Peffer as a Popu list. A woman has corralled the contract for carrying the mail on a star route in Stafford county. Ed Howe says that the Leavenworth Klondike has proved to be Governor Stanley's White Horse Pass. And now just as "Kansas was getting ready to buy a few carloads, it is an nounced that a diamond famine is threatened. Between Dewey and the yacht race Oom Paul has been crowded out his po sition top-of-column-next-to-reading-matter in Kansas papers this week. Concordia is so "literary" that when one wants to get "David Harum" from the public library it is necessary to speak for it six weeks in advance. While a Salina newspaper man was listening to the story of a man who had had his pocket picked at the street fair in that town, another pickpockef'touch ed" the reporter. One of the floats in a parade in Kan sas City was labeled. "What Has Made Kansas City," and on the lloat were several hogs. It is needless to say that they came from Kansas. Kansas City owes everything it has to Kansas. The street fairs and carnivals in Kansas this year are largely responsi ble for the fact the Kansas City street fair was a failure. The people of Kan sas have learned to amuse themselves and spend their money at home instead of going to Kansas City to spend it. Will White estimates that Emporia peo ple would have gone to Kansas City and spent $10,000 this wk if th n U not had a street fair of their own. One of Topeka's leading educators who served many terms as county sup erintendent of public instruction is well known for his facetious nature. While addressing a bevy of school ma'ams he can be as dignified as the chief jus tice of the supreme court, but when he wishes to do so he can almost start the ripples of laughter on the face of a statue. Not long ago his facetiousness came near getting him into trouble and he has never been able to fully explain the matter to the satisfaction of those in terested. He delights in visiting a cer tain family in Potwin in which all the members are of a literary- turn. He is almost regarded as a member of the family and he does not take his dignity with him when he visits at this particu lar household. A few evenings ago the gentleman started to visit his friends and when he alighted from the Potwin car he sauntered leisurely down the street to ward Mr. O's. handsome home. He was absorbed in thought, but as he walked up on the porch and rang the bell his mind came back to things munaane and as the lady came to the door he was prepared for his usual joke. "Who's there?" said the woman, as she cautiously opened the door. "A burglar," shouted the joker. The lady slammed the door in the gentleman's face and rushed up stairs, calling for her husband. The educator then looked around and was horrified to find that he was at the wrong house. He had unconsciously wandered up the walk of the house next to that of his friend. He did not stop to explain, but bolted. He ran to his friend's house and was admitted before the frightened husband with the revolver came out of his house to look for the audacious burglar. "It was a long time ago," said a re tired member of the police force, that we came near arresting one of our of ficers. "Along about 1 o'clock in the morning the telephone bell at the police station rang and a woman at the other end excitedly told the jailer that a burglar was trying to get into the top floor of a Kansas avenue building. The woman who telephoned roomed with her hus band in a Topeka hotel. It was a warm night. She happened to be awake and looked out of the window and saw a man sneaking across the roofs of the business buildings in the block. "I went up to investigate. I got out on the roofs and started after the burg lar. I was on a roof 10 feet higher than the one next to it and I could see him trying to get in a window. I was afraid to jump down to where he was because he might get the drop on me, but I drew my revolver and jumped. I recov ered myself as quickly as possible and intended to get the' drop on him. He was too quick for me. 'Throw up your hands,' he cried and pointed his gun at m. "I thought it was the best thing to do and did so. I wondered what would come next but I was willing to be still as long as that gun was leveled at me. I was in citizen's clothes but as he came out of the shadow I saw he was a policeman. 'What the world are you doing here?' I said. 'Looking for a burglar,' he said as he saw who I was and put his revolver in his pocket. "He explained that he was looking for the burglar I was after and we started in together. We found he had entered another building by way of a window. We followed him and heard him rummaging around in a room. We got our revolvers ready, broke open the door and rushed in. "Surprised! Why that burglar was just getting into bed. We found that he roomed there and that the front door was locked when he came home so he sneaked in through the window. He set 'em up and we asked him to say noth ing about it and left." A Topeka woman, who is of a fas tidious nature and who wanted to be an invalid tor a while in order to have a fashionable sick room, found the task of fooling the doctors impossible. She announced that it was impossible for her to speak above a whisper or to walk across the room. A young physi cian was summoned because he was of a well known family and the youthful practitioner took the case in earnest. He could not understand what the trou ble was, and as the patient daily as serted that she was worse, he called in an older practitioner. The older man could not be fooled. He exam ined the patient's pulse, felt of her forehead, looked at her tongue and placed a thermometer in her mouth. "Very slow pulse," tie said, looking very dubious. "Feverish too," he said to the young physician. "Temperature high," he said, as he removed the thermometer. The patient was really becoming alarmed. "Trephining is a good remedy," said the old physician. "Great Haste is Not Almays Good Speed." cHany people trust to luck to pull them through, and are often disappointed Do not dilly-dally in matters of health. With it you can accomplish miracles..

"Is there no other remedy?" he asked. "Only one I know of," said the older man. "What is that?" asked the younger physician. "We must relieve her head from that weight of hair," he said, holding up her long, beautiful braids. "Hand me those scissors." "No, you don't," yelled the woman, as the young man reached for a pair of scissors. "Yes, we 'do," said the older man. "I'll see if you do," said the patient, as she Jumped out of bed and fled from the room. "Guess she's cured." said the older man, as he left the house. "I don't see any excitement in this yacht race," said Ananias Fisher, as he read about Sir Thomas and his racer. "Why, where is the fun? Both those Doats had to holler for steam to haul them home. How would it be for a couple of race horses to start around the track, go half way, balk and have to De nauiea under tne wire witn a aray team? That wouldn't be as exciting as a potato race. "I'll tell you that the best kind of boat races I ever heard of was out here on the prairies before there were any fences. What kind of boats did we run on the prairies? .Why prairie schooners of course. "We fitted them up with spanker club sail, jib bow sprits, pillow slip top sails and lots of main braces. I'll teli you when we spread all that collection of bed quilts and horse blanket sails with a good little thirty-mile breeze we made time, "We had one here we called the 'Pride of the West' and the one the fellows out at Dodge had was the 'Shooting Star.' We arranged for a 20 mile race one Sat urday and started the two schooners from Buffalo Mound. Gee whiz but they went. Didn't have to get tug boats to pull them t in. "The 'Shooting Star" was in the lead when the captain of the 'Pride of the West' hollered for more sail. There wasn't any more sails but two men stood in the hind end and held up a blanket. They went faster and faster and were over taking the other boat when the captain saw a big boulder right in front. The fellow who was guiding her did not see it. 'Gee!' yelled the captain. 'What?' said the fellow who was steering. 'Gee!' shouted the captain. 'What's that? said the steerer. 'That means over that way,' roared the captain. 'Oh, you mean transport the helm.' said the pilot or something like that and just then the boomsprit swung across the header box we had for a pop deck and knocked half of us overboard. "The blamed thing ran right for the river. 'Put on the brake," yelled the captain. 'Yachts don't have brakes.' roared the pilot, 'What you mean is furl the gib spanker bow sprit and clear the decks for action,' said the pilot near as I can re member. "Anyway the 'Pride of the West' ran into the river and as the header box leaked we lost the race, but I'll tell you that was excitement." DIDN'T STOP FOB DEWEY, Business Record For Four Days In New York Never Equaled. New York, Oct. 7. R. G. Dun Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: The grand demonstration in honor of Admiral Dewey effectually stopped business of most kinds, for two days at the chief city of the country and yet the remaining transactions of the week would have excited wonder a year ago. At New York, where the interruption was greatest, payments through clear ing houses exceeded $1,059,000,000 in four business days, a record never be fore approached and outside of New York the gain reflects a great expan sion in the volume of that kind of busi ness which does not depend on ex changes. It has been a week of re markable monetary changes here and elsewhere. The Bank of England raised its rate one per cent before and a half more after its weekly statement from 3Vi to 5 per cent, with the hope that the outgo of gold to New York might be checked, but the Bank of Germany lost also and raised its rate to 6 per cent, and the Bank of France lost heavily. While high rates were paid here for money required in speculation, no stringency embarrassed any breach of legitimate business and the stock mar ket has held up surprisingly. With such business as the great steel companies are doing, it is not strange that their stocks are firmly held. There have been heavy sales of rails deliver able next year, $33 being fixed as the price after consultation, and about 50, 000 tons, fairly divided between eastern and western works, were sold. For their protection, the great companies bought billets in large quantities, for which it is said $35 was paid by some, and of Bessemer pig nearly 200.000 tons, the Federal Steel company taking 110.000 and Pittsburg works taking advantage of old options. Other large rail con I tracts are expected soon, especially those of the Pennsylvania. Plate works seem to be gaining little if any on their I orders and bar mills are crowded as i ever, while the renewal of efforts for consolidation of sheet mills causes more active buying. But while Bessemer pig I rose 25 cents and grey forge at Pitts burg declined 50 cents, finished pro ducts were not changed, excepting an other rise of 15 cents per keg in cut nails, and there is reported some dis position to hold back orders because of the general rise In prices. The wool market is strong, with sales of 10,582,152 pounds at the three mar kets, prices being maintained, although the advance at London has been check ed. The cotton mills, after the general advance in prices last week, have had a large business, being helped by the rise in material. It seems still uncer tain what form of consolidation, if any, will be adopted by the Fall River con cerns. After advancing about two cents, wheat declined sharply, uncertainty in the Transvaal being used by specula tors as excuse for the fluctuation. The closing price is unchanged with Atlan tic exports of 3.562.062 bushels, flour in cluded, against 2,884,533 bushels last year, and Pacific exports of 397,502 bushels against 702,414 last year. When it is noted that corn exports were also 2.992,232 bushels for the week, against 2.531,002 bushels last year, the price rising one cent, it seems not strange that wheat continues firm and western receipts have been only 6.644.113 bushels for the week against 10,539,359 bushels last year. The merchandise exports from New York have been in four weeks $31,202,622 in value against $32, 748,494 last year, which with the in crease in manufactured exports and in cotton exports from other points in sures an enormous outgo for September, while the increase in imports at New York has been about $9,500,000 in value, apparently not enough to reduce the ex cess of exports for the month below $30,000,000. Iola Postoffice Gains. Iola, Oct. 7. Iola postofHce has done a gross business of $8,087.81 during the year ending October 1.

Ban Away From Atchison Or phans' Home TO SEE DONG MOTHER Walked AH the Way to Kansas City, Kansas. Met at the Door by an Attend ant and Taken to Jail. Sent Back Without Admission to Sick Boom. Kansas City, Oct. 7. Little Philip Young ran away from the soldiers' or phans' home at Atchison and walked all the way to Kansas City, Kan., to attend his mother on her death bed, and when he arrived at the little home on Troup avenue where the woman lay unconscious and dying he was not al lowed by the attendants to see her, but was turned over to the police to be sent back to Atchison. Tired and weary after his long tramp, the lad was led crying and sobbing to the county jail, where he was locked up and where he will be held until provis ion can be made for sending him back to the home to which he was commit ted by the probate court several months ago because his widowed mother, sick and helpless, was not able to support him. Little Philip learned Monday that his mother was dying. He asked the super intendent of the home to let him come and see her before the end came, but however soft the superintendent's heart might have been there were no funds at hand to buy the child a ticket and his request was refused. But the knowl edge that his mother was soon to pass from this world weighed upon him and when he went back to his work with the other boys and girls at the home, their cheerfulness made him more sad and as night came he resolved to run away. He escaped successfully and without stopping a single time on the way he walked the entire distance to Kansas City, Kan., and went straight to the lit tle home where his mother lay. In a three-room cottage at 1139 Troup avenue Mrs. Young, the mother of the brave lad and the widow of a Union soldier, lies at the point of death. Mrs. Young ha3 been critically ill for many days. FORT SCOTT MAIDS OP HONOR. Animated Election Held la Nina Dif ferent Towns. Fort Scott, Oct. 7. Fourteen Kansas and Missouri towns will send maids of honors to this city next week to attend Queen Ariadne of the Fort Scott street fair carnival. The election of these maids has been by coupon vote in their respective towns and in some places more than 20,000 votes have been cast, showing great interest. In every town the contest was animated. Nine towns have named their maids of honor, as follows: Parsons, Miss Addle Maynard; Galena.Miss Pauline Webb: Coffey ville, Miss Bonnie Curry: ElDorado, Miss Jannette Gardner; Liberal, Miss Rene Mayer: Columbus, Miss Nannie Allison; Iola, Miss Katie Ausherman; Webb City, Miss Eva Ashcroft; Lamar, Ger trude Faulkner. The queen whom they will attend Is Miss Hattie Combs, daughter of Col. C, B. Combs, of this city. DODGE CITY'S TROUBLE. The Waterworks Company Will Shut Off City Water October 15. Dodge City, Oct. 7. The waterworks company give notice that they will shut off the supply of water to the city on the 15th inst. The city and waterworks company have failed to agree upon a basis for supplying the city with water, the company holding that it was fur nishing water under an old contract, and the city claiming that the contract had expired. The city has made a tender of $7a in warrants a month for use of the water, but the waterworks company has re fused to accept this tender. Should the waterworks company shut off the sup ply of water to the city, there can be no use of the water in case of fire. The probability of an increase in insurance rates and other disadvantages will like ly result in case the company adheres to the demand against the city. The situation is not likely to change with out much litigation. WAS HE POISONED f J, W. Sipes Believed to Have Been Murdered by Use of Arsenic. Emporia, Oct. 7. J. W. Sipes, a well known resident of Madison, 20 miles south of here, in Greenwood county, on Saturday last was taken with a violent fit of cramps in the stomach, and al though medical aid was immediately called in, died the next day in terrible agony. He had all the symptoms of having been poisoned with arsenic, so medical examination was ordered, which, being had, developed unmistak able evidence of poison. The stomach had three holes eaten through it. Portions of the liver and stomach have been sent to Kansas City for a more thorough analysis. The impression is that Sipes was poisoned, the poison having been put in his food. AFTER BACK TAXES. Bourbon County Sues For What Is Alleged to Be Due. Fort Scott, Oct. 7. A unique suit was brought in the district court here to recover $88,000 of back taxes alleged to be due from the estate of the late Jas. McCord of this city. If the county should be successful the system of as sessing personal property now in vogue would be revolutionized. Mr. McCord died leaving an estate of about $500,000 to his nephew, C. H. Har bison, who is executor of the will. The petition alleges that in the year 1892 Mr. McCord reported to the assessor that he had $25,940 of personal property and failed to return $130,060 of addition al property which he had. The amounts alleged to have been un reported from year to year increase an nually until in 1899 he is alleged to have withheld $217,6i5 of personal property. The petition specifically alleges that the amount of back taxes due on this pro perty is $58,922.23 and that the penalties accruing increase it to $88,384.93, for which amount suit is brought. If it wins this suit the county proposes to bring suit against a number of other taxpayers to recover on the same ground.

Atchison, Oct. 7. W. H. Booth, who, it is alleged, secured $250 from the Ex change National bank of Atchison a month ago under false pretenses, is un der arrest at Milwaukee and will be brought back for trial. He came here claiming to be a manufacturer of yel low pine lumber at Wise, Ark., and opened an office which he said was for his firm's western trade.

The stock market has bad to contend during the week with a continued stringency in the money market, aggravated by disturb ances in foreign stock markets on the prospect of war in South Africa. The latter influence brought rather a heavy liquidation on this market for London account on Tuesday. It was even more effective on the Bide of depression by causing a sharp advance in discount rates in London and so preventing the chance of further shipments of gold from that center. Last week strong hopes were entertained of early and complete relief from the stringency of the local money market by that means. Some gold has been received here from Cuba and some has been released to the market by draft from the San Francisco mint with a resulting relaxa tion of money stringency toward the end of the week. Earlier declines which were not very large, have been for the most part recovered and the stock mar ket has quite firmly resisted the de pressing influences. Notes For $47,000,000.

An important meeting of the Daugh ters of the American Revolution was held Friday afternoon at the home of Mrs. George D. Hale on Tenth avenue. The literary feature of the afternoon was a historical paper, prepared and read by Miss Zu Adams. The paper was a fine production and of much interest to those who heard it. In it Miss Adams embodied the story of the brave Lieutenant Pike, who in 1806 led an expedition into Kansas; he was the first recognized American explorer to attempt this feat. On reaching Paw nee City he found a Spanish flag, which had been hoisted by Spanish troops sent to intercept him. Lieutenant Pike had it taken down and the Stars and Stripes raised for the first time in Kan sas. The spot where this occurred is one of the few historical places in the west and the Daughters of the American Revolution think that it should in some way be marked with an appropriate monument or something of the kind. The subject will be discussed at the state meeting of the D. A. R. which will be held in Topeka in December, and doubtless a petition will be presented to the legislature for an appropriation for the same. A committee was appointed to con fer with General Hudson to ascertain what the D. A. R. can best do to help in welcoming the Twentieth; they will, of course. Join the Federation in assist ing at the banquet: but as they are a patriotic organization, they wish to do something more. Some revisions were made in the constitution and committees appointed. On December 6th an all day meeting of the state D. A. R. and the regents of the surrounding states will be held in Topeka. The morning will be de voted to the election of officers and other business. In the afternoon an in teresting program has been arranged, consisting of music, speeches and pa pers. Papers on the following subjects will be read: "Restoration of Mount Vernon," "What Are We Doing?" "Stars and Stripes," "Our Foremother ers and Their Part in the Revolution ary War," and "American Folklore." In the evening the Topeka chapter will give a reception for the new offi cers and the visiting ladies. On Feb ruary 22, the Sons of the American Revolution will join with the Daughters in an all day meeting, at which a loan collection will be one of the important features. The collection will consist of curios of all kinds, something on the order of the one held at the home of Mrs. T. W. Harrison last year. Meeting of District Federation.

The porci off of this room was en closed by canvas, and walled up with palms and ferns and the welcome autumn sun streaming through here made a pretty scene. A mandolin club was stationed here and played during the afternoon. The library was in yellow, but the dining room was the prettiest of all. The decorations were of red and green: great ropes of asparagus crossed the ends of the room and were massed on top of the side board with red lights gleamin-g in the center. Ropes of the asparagus extended from the comers of the room to the chandelier and from there to the four corners of the table. In the center of the table was a Bat tenburg centerpiece over red. on which was a silver urn of deep crimson roses.

It Horered Ofer Washburn Col lege'Last Night. "Whoop," yelled the Freshmen. Here they come," shouted the Sophomores and the annual cane rush at W'ashburn college was on anvi for half an hour Friday night it waged hot and furious in front of the college chapel. The annual cane rush is a time hon ored custom. Each member of the Freshman class attempts to carry a cane into the college chapel. The Sophomores endeavor to capture the canes and break them. That is all there is to it. If the Freshmen win they yell. If the Sophomores are victorious they shout. Those who witnessed the rush are of the opinion that if the affair was transplanted to the football field and an admission charged it would be a far better attraction than, football. The college literary societies met In the chapel. The Freshmen were to at tend and carry their canes. Long be fore eight o'clock the Sophomores were lined up in front of the stone steps leading to the first floor of the chapel building. They had guards posted around to keep the Freshmen from sur prising them. It was just about eight o'clock when the Sophomores heard a yell on the other side of the road, directly In front of the steps. All looked in the direction of the yell. Just then the Freshmen emerged from the shadows of the trees. There was a vivid flash. The Freshmen had touched off a monster flash light. It blinded the Sophomores so they could see nothing for half a minute. The Freshmen charged for the steps in a body, 30 strong, taking advantage of the bewilderment of the enemy. The charge was met by a determined resistance. The two sides came to gether with a crash. The battle was on. "Tear 'em up," yelled the Sophomores. "Go through 'em," shouted the Fresh men. The struggle shifted from the steps to the ground. Two, three and four men were mixed up in struggling masses. Those with the canes trying to keep them. The others fighting to cap ture them. Presently a couple of Freshmen freed themselves and rushed up the stone steps but just as they were starting up the stairway on the inside they were pounced upon by the rear guard of Sophomores and carried back down the stairs. Their canes were captured. The Freshmen rallied and fought to regain the canes. Gradually all the cane men fought their way up the stone steps to the foot of the stairway. There the charge ended and the Sophomores repeatedly rushed them back down the stairs as they attempted to gain the chapel. "Tear 'em up," yelled the Sophomores and the Freshmen were dragged, car ried and rolled back down the stone steps. Many of the contestants on both sides wore football suits. Those who did not had taken pains to dress in old clothes. Men were dragged down the steps by their feet. Others who had captured canes were carried up the stairs. "Go through 'em," was the rallying cry of the Freshmen and a crowd with canes rushed up the steps and after fighting their way up the stairs, de posited their canes in the chapel and rushed back down stairs to aid their comrades. The Sophomores were hem med in between two lines of Freshmen. An anti-cane man rushed down the stairs pell-mell. Threw himself on the struggling mass and a conglomeration of arms, legs, heads and shoulders roll ed down the stone steps in danger of cracked skulls, splintered shins and broken arms. Finally by a united effort the last cane was carried by main force into the chapel amid the yells of the Fresh men and the battle was over won by the Freshmen. OPINION AGAINST IT. Leading Men Advise Keeping Oat of Transvaal Affair. New Tork, Oct. 7. A special to the Herald from Washington says: Opinion among leading men in Wash ington is decidedly against the United States offering mediation between Great Britain and the South African republics. Even among those who sym pathize with the Boers out of a natural tendency to side with the weaker side, there is little disposition to assume that the controversy is one in which the Un ited States would be justified in offering mediation without being requested. This opposition to mediation is due not only to the fact that it is contrary to the policy of the United States to in terfere in controversies that do not af T. fect America directly, but also to a feeling that Great Britain's claim of suzerainty over the Transvaal, which is to some extent recognized by the Boers themselves, makes the contro versy different from a controversy be tween two independent states. The Transvaal has no foreign relations ex cept through Great Britain and tech nically an offer from the United States to mediate might be regarded as inter ference in the international affairs of the British empire, in much the same way that an offer from a European power to mediate between the United States and Aguinaldo might be con sidered an interference in the internal affairs of the United States. Former Secretary Sherman is one of those who do not think it would be wise for the United States to offer media tion. He said: "I have been led to suppose by what I read in the papers that the English are rather sorry that matters have gone so far in South Africa. "They already exert a practically controlling Influence over all that coun try and there are signs that Great Britain would be glad to avoid war and to compromise in some way that would not alarm the British people. I do not think there is much doubt that the people of the Transvaal would be bet ter off with British control. It is very evident that England is disposed to avoid open war and it is clear that the people of the Transvaal are dis posed to resist and from their num bers they could certainly make a for midable defense. "I do not think the United States ought to seek in any way to interfere. We are too far away and we should not involve ourselves in a controversy that might lead to war." Representative Burton of Ohio, said on the same subject: "I think it would be a very serious mistake to offer mediation. Mediation is properly tendered under one of two conditions first, on the application of one or both of the nations involved in the quarrel; no application has as yet been made by either. Second, when a nation of its own initiative regards the conflict as likely to occasion serious in jury to its own interests or desires to take the part of one of the contending nations. In the latter case an offer of mediation is a decidedly unfriendly act. It thus appears that it would be mani festly improper to offer mediation un der the present circumstances." DEWEY PROMISES ATLANTA Will Go There Not Later Than Nov ember 1st. Washington, Oct. 7. A delegation of Atlanta citizens called on Admiral Dewey today and Invited him to be come the guest of that city. The ad miral promised that he would go to At lanta at some time not later than No vember 1, the date to be arranged la ter. Repersentative Livingstone of Georgia with a delegation of citizens called on Acting Secretary Meiklejohn and entered a formal protest against the order which makes the department of the gulf with headquarters at At lanta a part of the department of the east. President McKinley and Secre tary Root were today advised of the wishes of the Atlanta people. EXPORT HATES RAISED. Corn Goes Up From 18 Cents to 22 Cent. Chicago, Oct. T. Representatives of the Transcontinental lines decided to day to raise the rate from Chicago to the Atlantic seaboard on export corn from 14 to 20 cents per 100 pounds and from 18 to 22 -cents on domestic corn. All other export grains will be placed at 22 cents. The advance to go in effect November 1. At present the railroad companies are having a great deal of difficulty in moving the eastbound ship ments, car famine troubling many of the roads. Robbed the Grave. A startling incident is narrated by John Oliver of Philadelphia, as follows: "I was in an awful condition. My skin was al most yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coated, pain continually in back and Bides, no ap petite, growing weaker day by day. Three physicians had given me up.

TOPEKA STATE JOTTRNAI SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 7, 1899. Vo 97?rs. SPinkham, letter to mils. FINXHAH MO. 4Ir7 Dear Friend A year ago I was a gTeat sufferer from female weakness. My head ached all the time and I would g-et so dizzy and have that all gone feeling in the stomach and was so nervous and restless that I did not know what to do with myself. My food did me no good and I had a tad case of whites. I wrote to you and after taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege table Compound as directed, 1 can truly say that I feel like a new woman and cannot tell you how grateful I am to you. "I hare recommended it to all my friends and have given it to my daughter who is now getting along splendidly. May you live many years to help our suffering sisters.' Mrs. C. Cabpesieb, 253 Grand St., Brooklyn, Over eighty thousand such letters as this were re ceived by Mrs. Pinkham during 1897. Surely this is strong proof of her ability to help suffering women. THE BISHOP'S FAREWELL. Rev. Dr. Potter Gives a Dinner Party. Kew York, Oet.7.

This dinner was in the nature of a farewell as Bishop Potter will start tomorrow for St. Paul, the first stage in his jour ney to Hawaii and the Philippines where he will be Joined next week by the Rev. Dr. Percy S. Grant. On his way to the Philippines Mr. Potter will make a long sojourn in the Hawaiian islands with headquarters at Honolulu.

Consideration of the church's status in Hawaii and the Phil ippines was held most important. After Bishop Potter's return in about three months, there will be a conference with the authorities of the Church of England before taking any decisive and final action. C R BATES A PAN I C.

A staff of emient physicians and sur peons from the British Medical institute have, at the urgent solicitation of a large number of patients under their treatment In Topeka, established a permanent branch in this city at No. 412 Topeka avenue. These eminent gentlemen have decided to rive their services entirely free for three months (medicines excepted) to all invalids who call upon them for treat ment between now and November 15. These services consist not only of consul tation, examination and advice, but also of all minur surgical operations. The object in pursuing this course is to become rapidly and personally acquainted with the sick and afflicted, and under no condition whatever will any charge be made for any services rendered for three months, to all who call before November 15.

Many papers through the state are casting slurs on Topeka regarding the Twentieth Kansas reception. As a rule they are unworthy of notice and indi cate a disorganization of the digestive organs of the kicker. The Lawrence Daily World prints tne following: "The officers monopolize attention in every army. The privates carry the muskets and do the shooting but the officers win the renown. A. case of as rank injustice as has ever been seen was perpetrated against the privates comes from Topeka. It is proposed to take the officers to the big hotels of the city and pay all their expenses. The privates will be fed out on the com mons. The men are then expected to march in front of every man's place who has contributed to the reception. "If they have the gumption they dis played in the Philippines they will sim ply refuse to do so. "The officers get big salaries while the privates are scantily paid. The offi cers could pay their own way and not feel it but the privates need every cent they have. "it is hoped that Topeka will recon sider and do justice to the privates." If the people of Topeka intended to do as the article indicates there would be cause for complaint but the people of Topeka are too loyal to allow the privates to be "fed out on the com mons." At present no less than 50 peo ple have requested that they be allowed to entertain from one to three privates at their homes. They did not ask for officers but for the men who "carry the muskets and do the shooting. Every man in the regiment will be entertained in Topeka in a royal man ner. The regiment will not be requested to make a tour of the town and march in front of every man's store who has contributed to the entertainment fund. That is absurd. The regiment will march by the shortest route from the depot to the state house and the regi mental flag will be returned to the gov ernor and the sword presented to Gen. Funston. That is all.

The supreme court has announced a decision in a case of local interest in volving the property known as the Evans fiats on Tyler street, built by George H. Evans, now owned by the Misses Kahr. In the suits which fol lowed the purchase of the property by the Kahr sisters from John Bushnell an attempt was made to recover the property by tendering, in redemption, the amount for which it sold under the foreclosure proceedings, which left a balance of $1,500 on the amount of money due, but the sale satisfied the judgment. Justice Johnston and Justice Smith held, a majority of the court, that a mortgagor to redeem the property mustl pay the full amount of the mortgage debt and that a tender of the amount for which the property sold under fore closure proceedings is insufficient. This decision brought from Chief Justice Doster a dissenting opinion. WHIST PLAYERS Will Meet In Annual Session Next Monday Night. The Topeka Whist club's annual meeting will be held at their new club rooms at No. 119 West Sixth avenue next Monday evening, October 9. Re ports of officers and election of new board of directors will constitute the business, after which a game will be played. It is expected every member will be present as action will be taken on holding another social session for Oc tober 23, at which time each member will invite a guest for an evening game. The prospect for a close contest for the winter tournament is very encour aging as many of the new players are becoming very proficient and will give the old teams some hard work. The club has recently taken in five new members and has a list of twenty-five prospective members for the winter tourney. The meeting will be called early so that the evening's play will be very little later than usual. FRISCO JOBBERS MEET. Organize to Oppose St. Louis Traffic Bureau on Freight Tariffs. San Francisco, Oct. 7. Fifty or sixty representatives of leading jobbing firms of San Francisco today met and organized the Pacific Coast Traffic as sociation for the purpose of opposing the St. Louis traffic bureau to overturn the transcontinental freight tariff. Twenty thousand dollars was raised to fight the case before the Interstate com mission at Washington at the end of this month. GOOD THINGS GALORE. How Our Returning Soldiers Will Be Fed. Many of the representative grocers and butchers of the city met last night at the Commercial club rooms, and continued the work of making arrange ments and mapping out the plans for the banquet which they are preparing to give to the Twentieth Kansas regi ment when it returns to this city. Everything is rrioving along nicely and the prospects are very encouraging for one of the finest spreads which was ever laid before a hungry man. After the meeting was called to order by the president, T. M. Hanley, the main business of the evening was taken up. This was the report of the com mittee on arrangements, which had been appointed at the last meeting of the grocers and butchers, and whose duty it was to make estimates on the amount of food required, the necessary committees and duties of each which would be necessary to properly take care of the banquet, and to look up such other details as must be disposed of be fore the real work of preparing for the banquet. Mr. Harry vells read the report of the committee, which was as follows: "We have made an estimate of the amount of meat, bread, potatoes, oysters and other good things which will be needed for the banquet, and find that the total amount of money neces sary to be spent for these things, amounts to about $350, and including the extras, possible expense for the use of the lumber for the tables, rent of chairs, possible decorations, and other possible unforeseen expenses will bring this amount up to about $450. This amount the committee think ample to cover everything. "It has been decided to hold the banquet in the new state library rooms jn the north wing of the state house. This room is plenty large for all needs, and the tables can be arranged with two foot aisles between, and still give sufficient table room to serve 900 peo ple. The room can be darkened and the electric lights turned on and with the decorations and the long tables filled, with good things to eat, will pre sent a very appetizing appearance. "The High School orchestra has of fered its services to furnish music on this occasion, and they win be placed on a raised platform to one side and in the center of the room. The Federa tion of Clubs has offered to take charge and be responsible for the furnishing of all pastry work, and to them will be delegated this important part of the banquet. "The committee has thought it best not to try to arrange to give the regi ment two warm meals, as it is improb able that the regiment can be kept to gether after the first meal. The sol diers will become scattered and no doubt only a few of them would come back for the second meal. There will be plenty for them to eat provided they come back, but under the circum stances, we think it best to serve a cold lunch to them for the second meal. With plenty of fruit and pastry, this would probably suit the boys a great deal better than if the food was warm." Wm. Dransfield That is my idea. We can hardly expect to get those hnvs back again for the second meal, as they win ut; scaiierea an over tne city by that time, and some of them may have left town. If it is thought best to give them two warm meals, then we ought to do it, but I believe that it would suit the boys better to know that they could come back any time that thev wanted to and get a cold lunch, ana plenty of 1L.

He spoke of the present and future without any reefrence to the past. "He no longer considered party. His sole concern was for his country. He had no sympathy with our enemies in the north who openly or secretly coun seled the dissolution of the Union." Then followed the oration of the day which Was delivered by Postmaster General Charles Emory Smith. Mr. Smith's eloquent tributes to the char acter and services of both Lincoln and Douglas and his reminiscences of old days in the Illinois political arena were much appreciated by the immense crowd of listeners, some of whom had b.-en among the audiences, which in 185S witnessed the. polemic warfare be tween the great emancipator and the champion of popular sovereignty. At the conclusion of the exercises shortly before noon the presidential party boarded the train for Chicago. IF LINCOLN WERE PRESIDENT Charles Emory Smith Tells What He Would Do. Galesburg. 111., Oct. 7. Postmaster General Charles Emory Smith, the ora tor of the occasion, spoke as follows today: "vve are here to commemorate the famous Lincoln-Douglas debate. On the very spot where we now stand the great combatants met forty-one years ago today in one of the brilliant en counters of that glittering intellectual and political tournament. Some of you saw and well remember the gleam and blows of the flashing swords. With the vivid traditions and the striking figures ever living in the American memory and imagination, you can all picture the dramatic scene. "It is fit that the president with his cabinet should come to this memorable ground. Here history was made and moulded. Here the mightiest issues of the age were tried in the forum of rea son before being appealed to the arbi trament of arms. Here the two con tending chieftains stamped their deep impress on the rushing current of thought and events which speedily cul minated in the most gigantic moral and physical conflict of the century. Here may be found the inspiration of ex ample and the lesson of experience. The debate was worthy of this dis tinctive commemoration. It was the most significant and decisive dual con-i troversy in our history. The only other forensic tourney which can compare with it was the celebrated discussion of Webster and Hayne nearly forty years before. Between the two there was in deed a logical and historical connection. The one was the complement and the sequence of the other. The Webster- Hayne debate turned upon the abstract issue of an indissoluble union as against the right of nullification and secession. The Lincoln-Douglas debate turned on the concrete struggle of freedom and slavery which brought on the War of the Rebellion and put the issue of Un ion against secession to the practical test. That debate presaged and crys tallized the great coming conflict. It was the ominous thunder before the outbreak of the storm. In declaring and defining the irresistible tendencies, in fashioning the attitude and action of parties, in directly moulding the course of events, as it did, it was a potent and momentous element in the swift advancing climax. Neither Lincoln nor Douglas sought the final and crucial clash. Both earnestly and anxiously labored against it. Each believed that his own policy was the true way to avert it. But their stupendous conten tion signified and shaped the irrepressi ble conflict and determined the political alignments and divisions which pre cipitated the ultimate and inevitable issue. "Lincoln lived to save the nation, and died to consecrate it with his blood. His unrivalled place among the world's elect is immutably fixed. He remains the best loved of all Americans. It is not merely that his gaunt and sombre and picturesque personality, 'deep on his front engraven deliberation sad and public care, has an enduring and ir resistible fascination. It is not merely that he stands out among the most ma jestic figures in the world's mighty drama, and that of the builders and saviors of states who have moulded the decisive epochs in the world's progress he is preeminent for moral heroism and grandeur. Beyond and beneath these imposing historic proportions there is a magic of kinship and fate that brings him above all others close to the heart of the people. Around what other name. however great and honored, clusters so much of tender, sympathetic and im passioned sentiment? Where else will you find at once so much of the human quality that pulses to the common heartbeat, so muc h of the heroic conse cration that uplifts the nation and ex alts liberty, and so much of the pathos of tragedy that seemed to consecrate in one appealing blow a vicarious sacrifice for all the people? "Lincoln was the most typical of Americans. You can think of Wash ington as another Hampden, grand, se rene, benign, the rounded and perfected archetype of English liberty. You can think of Hamilton as another Pitt, equally precocious, equally brilliant in eloquence and statecraft, equally mas ter of the men and measures of his time. You can think of Webster as an other Lord Mansfield in his massive le gal creations, or another Lord Chatham in his majestic oratory and his impos ing statesmanship. You can think even of Lincoln's fiery rival, Douglas, as an other Charles James Fox, vehement, impetuous ar.d fervid, the very Prince Rupert of debaters. But you cannot think of Lincoln as any other than a characteristic and unmistakable Amer ican. He was copied from no model and founded on no example. He blended and accentuated the recognized American traits, and stands out before the world as preeminently the American of Amer icans. "He was equally skilled in leading the leaders and in getting into the hearts of the plain people. No other American ever so thoroughly understood or came so close to the great throbbing masses. He sprang from their ranks and he continued to be their soul. Con centrate the genius of the common peo ple in one grand incarnation, refining and sublimating theiressence.to be then idealized in their adoration, and you call it Abraham Lincoln. He had at once the flavor of the soil and the flight of the stars. When he rose to large en deavor he had what seemed to be al most divine inspiration. Some of his papers in their simplicity, directness and strength are more like the epistles of St. Paul than anything else in liter ature. His speech was as lucent as crystal because his thought was as clear as the sunbeam. "He was filled w ith sublime thoughts which transmuted themselves into sublime acts. The imperishable speech at Gettysburg, which will ever remain the noblest monument of that immortal field, sprang from the greatness of his soul and reflected his inmost being. The second inaugural rose to a moral eleva tion not reached outside of, sacred de liverance, and its lofty portraiture of the supreme law of justice and retribu tion in God's universe almost suggests the awful and mystic communion of Sinai. "The great lesson of Lincoln's match less career and service is that he brave ly accepted the duty which came to him and followed where its mandates led. He himself said he did not control events but events controlled him. He was great enough to see their import and move forward with their require ments. He fought the extension of slavery but had no purpose to interfere with it where it existed. When the war came his sole object was to save the Union, but as events unfolded and com manded, he proclaimed emancipation. He did not seek to force the decree of destiny, but when it was revealed by the uplifted curtain he had the moral strength to execute. If he were presi dent today, he would maintain the honor of the flag, uphold the dignity of the nation and advance its high mis sion of liberty, humanity and civiliza tion, as his faithful successor is doing. His example and his inspiration live for all time. The appreciation of his great personality and his true historic grandeur increases as we gain the juster perspective of distance, and the sanctity of his memory will deepen in the hearts of his countrymen as the sublimity of his service and the mys tery of his martyrdom become more and more the loftiest legend of our national story." "I coOld not but think as I looked upon that inspiring procession that my country was safe. (Applause.) God bless the scrfbols of America. God bless the patriotic women of the United States (continued applause) and the patriotic band that projected and car ried this monument to a successful con clusion. And I must not close without congratulating you that you can find in Peoria, indeed you have everything in Peoria, an artist of such high skill, born in your own city, to conceive and exe cute this noble monument. I thank you over and over again for this splendid demonstration of patriotism and devo tion to duty." (Applause.) At the conclusion of the exercises a brief opportunity was given the crowd to shake hands with the president, al though the press of time did not allow more than a small portion of the surg ing moo to be presented to him. The party was next driven to the "corn palace," a building wholly con structed of corn, where the Peoria corn festival was irJiugurated by the presi dent. An informal reception and dinner at the residence of J. B. Greenhut was the closing event of the president's visit to Peoria. The party boarded the train at 8:4a o clock, and was rapidly carried to Galesburg to spend the night. The presidential train arrived at Galesburg, a little behind scheduled time. A little crowd of citizens greeted the trai nwith great enthusiasm as it pulled into the station. The president was immediately driven to the resi dence of Colonel Clark E. Carr, for the night. The other members of the party remained on board the tram over night. WONDERFUL. The Benefits Given by Mme, ZaMora's Facial Treatment. Mme.

The President Speaks at the Unveil ing of a Monument. Peoria. 111., Oct. 7. A good part of the population of Peoria, the second city of Illinois, yesterday, took part in an elaborate demonstration to welcome to their city the president of the United States. The great event of the day was the unveiling of a beautiful monument erected by Peoria's citizens as a mem orial to the soldiers of the rebellion. living and dead. The monument is a tall shaft of marble, ornamented at the base with bronze groups commemorating scenes of the civil war. It is erected on an elevation in front of the court house and by its base had been constructed a platform upon which the president and the members of his party took seats to review long procession of militia, veter ans of the war and returned volunteers of the Spanish war. The concourse of people surrounding this platform and packing every street in its vicinity was by far the largest which has thus far greeted the president on his western tour. After his review of the parade the president took his seat facing the veiled monument, by the side of Martin Kingman, chairman of the exercises. The monument was unveiled by Mrs. S. A. Kinsey, who has been chairman of the monument committee since its inception in 1883. A great cheer burst from the multitude as the folds of can vas fell away from the shaft. Then President McKinley, leaning on the arm of Mr. Kingman, and followed by the cabinet officers, made a tour of the open space surrounding the monument, in specting the beauties carefully on ail sides. The sculptor of the figures at the base. Mr. Fritz Triebel, of Peoria, also walkd by the side of the president during this inspection. The formal ex ercises of dedication were then pro ceeded with. An address was given by Mr. King man, followed by the president, who dedicated the monument in a formal address. The president said: "Mr. President and Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen, My Fellow Citizens: I am glad with my fellow citizens of Peoria county, the members of the Grand Army of the Republic and the ladies memorial association to stand about this monument, dedicated to pa triotic service and heroic devotion in as holy a cause as ever engaged man kind. This monument awakens sacred memories; that is its purpose. It was erected by these patriotic women that it might for all time perpetuate one of the most glorious pages in American history. It tells the whole story of the war the siege, the march, the bivouac, the battle line, the sufferings, the sacri fices of the brave men, who from 61 to '65 upheld the flag (great applause. It tells every page of the history of that civil struggle and its triumphant consummation by Appomattox court house, when Grant accepted the surren der from Lee and we were kept a na tion united again forever. I like this monument. I like this symbol that I face today the defense of the flag. (Cheers.) That is what we do when ever and wherever that flag is as sailed (applause) and with us war al ways sleeps when the assailants of our flag consent to Grant's terms of uncon ditional surrender (great and continued applause). My fellow citizens, I do not intend to make a speech here today (cries of 'Go on.') I could add nothing of a patriotic sentiment to that which has already been uttered. But I de sire to express in this presence my ap preciation, not of the tribute that was paid to the president of the United States, but the tribute which the peo ple of Peoria city and Peoria county have paid to the brave defenders of the American flag in time of our greatest peril. You are proud of the monument. You should be proud of the demonstra tion today which led to its unveiling. Six thousand children from the schools marching by with the flag of stars In their hands and the love of their coun try in their hearts. Senator Charged With Bribery. Butte, Mont., Oct. 6.

Slonecker Says His Throat Is In Very Bad Condition. J. G. Slonecker, who was over at Atchison recently to defend John J. In galls in a law suit, and was entertained by Mr. Ingalls, says that the ex-senator's throat is still in a very bad con dition and is improving very slowly. It was with the greatest difficulty that Mr. Ingalls could testify in his suit so that the jury could understand him, and it was necessary for him to rest at intervals. Mr. Slonecker says that even when carrying on ordinary conversations in his home Senator Ingalls could talk only a few minutes at a time before he would be obliged to rest his throat. He left yesterday for New Mexico in the hopen that the change of climate would benefit him. HARRISON'S FEE. May Take a Lawyer Tr the) Navy to Collect It New York, Oct. 1j A special to the Times from Washiugrton says: A suggestion wa-j made today of the possibility that a diplomatic officer of the United States might have to be em ployed to collect a lawyer's fee for an ex-president of the United States. The situation, it Teas admitted, would be unprecedented if it presented itself but is not thought likely that it will. The fee in volved. so it is reported, is $250,000 promised bsy the present Vene zuelan government to Benjamin Harri son for his service! as legal counsel of the Venezuela republic before the Paris arbitration corroni ssion. It was sug gested that in the event of the triumph of the insurrectionists in Venezuela now almost at the gates of the capital city of Caracas, thie o bligation of the pre ceding administra tion might be repud iated inasmut-b as the benefits derived by Venezuela fr-om the award are doubtful. In this car ip- state department officials are of the opinion that the debt would be regardrd as one of honor, partly on account of Mr. Harrison's high posi tion as tbe former chief executive of a republic whose good offices were alone responsible for averting war and secur ing arbi tration to Venezuela, The obli gation 5s none the less binding, it is urged, because the question was only considered during Harrison's and won during Cleveland's administration.

In Located on Fifth Street Near Police Station. CHINESE PKOPiUETOR. He Plies His Trade In Rear Boom of Laundry.' Place Has Regular Customers Yho "Hit the Pipe." SECRECY OBSERVED. Stranger Must Furnish Proof That He Is "All Right." Men and Women Lie In Filthy Hunk and Smoke. Fumes of Poison Send Them to Land of Happy Dreams. In the back room of the building at No. 113 Kast Fifth street, diagonally across from the postoffice and within two blocks of the police station is lo- cated an opium den. Hiding behind the guise of running a laundry, Joe Lee, the proprietor of the laundry, has opened a "hop joint," as it is common ly called, and for the past two months has been doling out this poison to all who could pass the scrutiny of his sus picious eyes. The building was formerly rented by Kung Wee, another Chinaman, who ran A launury txiere iui tne past, l w ui initrc y cell o, uul lie suiu tjui vincc months ago, and returned to China, L L -J DIAGRAM OF1 TOPEKA OPIUM DEN. having made considerable money. Dr. Wa of this city bought the laundry bijsiness and Joe Lee ran it for him. A s hort time ago, Joe got possession of the business and now runs it in connec tion with the opium joint, which is op erated in the back room. This opium den is located in the southwest corner of the back room, along the west wall, and is curtained off from the rest of the room bv a vile smelling curtain, saturated by the fumes of the many pipefuls of opium which have been smoked there. Here is found a bunk made of rough boards, on which are pillows and quiltg, providing a place for two people to recline, vvhl they smoke. In the center of the bunk is placed the lamp, where the opium DISCARDED. The Old Methods of Treating Piles and Rectal Diseases Supplanted by the Pyramid Pile Cure. The old method of treating piles by ligature, by the knife or by the cruel methods of dilation, besides causing in tense ppiin and frequently collapse and death, :ire now known to be but mere makeshifts as far as a cure is concern ed. The liver is responsible for nearly ev ery case of piles and the mistake has been made of treating piles as a pure ly local disease. Such is not the case, however, and the success of the new treatment known as the Pyramid File Cure has demostrated it. The Py ramid Pile Cure is not a salve or ointment but a suppository which is applied at night and absorbed into the sensitive rectal membrane and acts both as a local and a constitutional treatment, and in cases of many years' standing this treatment has been ef fectual. Thousands of pile sufferers bear wit ness to the inestimable value of the Pyramid and even those who have un dergone surgical operations without a cure have been happily surprised by re sults from a few weeks' treatment with the Pyramid. The relief from pain i3 so immediate that patients sometimes imagine that the Pyramid contains opiates or cocaine because the relief is so instantaneous, but the Pyramid Pile Cure is guaran teed absolutely free from any opiate or mineral poison whatever. The relief is the result of the astrin gent properties of the remedy which causes the little tumors and congested blood vessels to contract and a normal circulation is established. The Pyramid Pile Cure is strictly sci entific, both in its composition and in its therapeutic action and the best fea- ture of it is that it is perfectly safe and harmless. No ill effects ever result from its use, but only positive benefit. A singular fact, in view of the large number of patent medicines before the public is that the Pyramid is the only Pile cure of national reputation. It is the only pile cure popular enough and meritorious enough to be found in ev ery drug store in the United States. It sells at 50 cents for a full sized pack age. A little book on cause and cure of piles mailed free by addressing Pyra mid Drug Co., Marshall, Mich pills are cooked, while the Chinaman or perhaps a regular customer wno nas become adept at the business, sits on the front of the bunk, and tends to the cooking of the pills. Dirty and ill-smelling as the place la, yet there are on an average of six smokers there day and night, and Joe Lee's customers are increasing so fast that even now his laundry has ceased to be his main means of support. Those who at first smoked opium "just for fun," or were induced to try it by some of their friends, have tried it again and again, and they now find themselves unable to stop, and the proprietor of the joint is reaping a harvest. The secrecy with which this opium joint has been conducted and the al most impossible chance for a stranger to gain admittance, is probably respon sible for the fact that the joint has existed so long, undisturbed by the po lice and unknown to the general pub lic. Joe Lee, the proprietor of the place, is very cunning and he knows that the success of his place is in keeping it a secret from all but those whom he can trust and who are patrons of his joint. He is very suspicious of a stranger, whenever one enters his place of busi ness, and takes good care that he does not go or look out into the back room. To all outward appearances, the front room is similar to that of all Chinese laundries. The long table and shelves on which are the bundles of clothes. The open book, on the table, in which he keeps his record of the daily wash ing, and which is covered with hun dreds of funny scrawls are all there. But there is one thing about Joe Lee s place which is very prominent and which would lead a stranger to think that something besides a laundry is be ing carried on there, and that is the strong smell of opium, with which the very atmosphere and everything about the place is thoroughly saturated. As you enter, Joe Lee, queue and all, greets you with a tunny nine ume j an'a possibly he says good evening to you in his peculiar broken English. He laet000es Sf over'ca": i and being assured that everything is all right, he leads the way back into tne uaes iooi.i. First one door is passed through, then along a short hallway, and through a second door. Both of these doors are heavily curtained. You are now in the back room. There in the corner is the bunk, and if you intend to smoke, and it is very seldom that anyone get into the back room unless he smokes, the curtains around the Duns are orau j )acjc you pay Joe iee fee of 50 cents ana you climb in. The Chinaman lights the lamp, gets out the pipe and soon both are busy. The Chinaman cooking the opium and placing it on the bowl of the pipe, and you are in the corner of the bunk, drawing deep breaths of the opium and filling your system with a poison that transports you to the land of peaceful though weird dreams. Once an opium smoker, always an opium smoker, is a rule that has been proven more than once, and already there are over twenty persons in To peka who have become so addicted to this terrible habit that they are almost daily and nightly visitors to this place. These regular patrons are confined mostly to the lower class of society, and of this number fifteen are men and five are women. Added to this num ber, are several young men of the city, who go, or rather pretend to go, in the best society of Topeka, who have visit ed this opium den upon different oc casions and "hit the pipe," just for fun, to find out how it feels to smoke opium. Only the regular customers of the place have free access. Strangers to the proprietor are not allowed there unless accompanied by one of the regular cus tomers, a"nd he must be vouched for be fore" he is allowed to enter. To the confirmed opium smoker, who does not live here, there is another way open for him to gain, admittance. The con firmed smoker must have his pipe, every so often, and should he chance to come here, he can get a letter from a Chinaman in his own town, which is presented to the proprietor of the opium joint here, and if all right, he is ad mitted, and once known can come and go as he pleases. The beginner thinks that no harm can come from "hitting the pipe," and the pleasant sensation which comes to him," as he lies on the bunk in a dozing sort of a way, and feels at peace with the world, and the weird and fantasti cal thoughts go through his Tnind, is1 a source of pleasure, and does' much to influence him to try it again. After he has smoked a few pills and gets up and is helped out into the open air. a different feeling comes over him, and he becomes dizzy and light headed, and remains in this helpless condition until the effect of the drug wears off. The next time the desire to smoke comes upon him, it is stronger than ever. and his thoughts are more weird, and more opium Is necessary to produce the desired effect. With every smoke he becomes a greater slave to the drug, and soon must have his regular pipe, the dreams turn to be more weird and more horrible and no doubt his mind will soon give away under the immense strain, and another perhaps good per son is lost to the world. Oftentimes a customer may take an opium outfit to his room, which can be done by depositing 15 with the proprie tor for the safe return of the outfit. When this is done, no one knows what may result. In-nocent girls and young men may be initiated into the mysteries of opium smoking and given their first lesson in a habit which may drag them down to the lowest depths of life. A just for fun smoke may ruin them, and be a step in their life which they can never retrace. PRAISES TENNESSEEANS. The President Pays a Glowing Tribute to the Volunteers. Peoria, Oct. 7.

At Macomb the president said: "My fellow citizens, I thank you for I this cordial greeting and generous wel- come, it is a pleasure to me to look into your face to feel your warm hearts and to know that you are interested in the prosperity and honor of the govern ment of the United States. These great assemblages of the people teach patri otism and patriotism is the mighty power that sustains the government in peace and unites us in war. (Great ap plause.) The patriot loves his home, his I family, his profession, his farm, his books, but he has a great love which in cludes all these he loves his country. (Great applause.) No more splendid exhibition of patriotism was ever shown than was shown a few days ago in the distant Philippines. (Applause). That gallant Tennessee regiment from our southern border, that had been absent from home and family and friends for more than a year and was embarked on the good ship Sherman homeward bound, when the enemy attacked our forces remaining near Cebu these mag nificent soldiers disembarked from their Bhip and joined their comrades on tba firing line and achieved a glorious tri umph for American arms. (Great ap plause). This an example of patriot ism that should be an inspiration to duty to all of us in every part of our common country." The speech of President McKinley at Bushnell was as follows: "My fellow citizens, I thank you for this warm welcome. I thank the child ren of the schools for coming to give me greeting with the flag of our country in their hands. The last two years have registered not alone our martial tri umph, but have recorded equal tri umphs in peace. We have not only over come in the war with Spain, but we have overcome the enemies of prosperi ty and scattered their forces, and today the United States is enjoying an era of "prosperity unprecedented in our his tory. No man rejoices more in that fact than I do, because it has taken bless ings to the homes and the firesides o seventy millions of my countrymen." M'KINLEY AND BRYAN MEET. Victor and Vanquished Come Together at Canton, 111. Peoria, 111., Oct, 7. Colonel William Jennings Bryan sat directly behind President McKinley at Canton, 111., while the president delivered an address to the citizens of that town. A street fair is in progress at Canton and Colo nel Bryan had been secured to deliver a two hours' speech. The Nebraskan was among the urst to greet President McKinley as he left the train and as cended the platform. When the presi dent concluded his address, he turned and heartily grasped Colonel Bryan's outstretched hand. "Bood bye, Mr. President," said Colonel Bryan, and the president responded with a word of farewell. This closed the short meet ing between the former rivals of 1896, as the presidential train left immed iately. Colonel Bryan delivered his address after the departure of the president. President McKinley said at Canton: "Our glorious old flag, the symbol of liberty, floats today over two hemis pheres. During the recent war we had exhibitions of unprecedented patriotism on the part of the people and unmatch ed heroism on the part of our soldiers and sailors. (Applause) Our second great triumph is the triumph of pros perity. The busy mills, the active in dustries, the general prosperity, have scattered plenty over a smiling country. Our third great triumph is the triumph we have had over sectionalism. We are no longer a divided people and he who would stir up animosities between the north and south is denied a hearing in both sections. The boys of the south and the boys of the north fought tri umphantly on land in every engage ment during our war. 'North and south together brought now own the same electric thought in peace a common flag salute.' 'And with free and unresentful ri valry harvest the fields whereon they fought.' "So I conclude by saying that this nation has been greatly blessed and at this hour we are a united and pros perous and patriotic people and may that divine providence wrho has guided us in all our undertakings from the In ception of the government continue His gracious and assuring favor to us for evermore." (Applause.) OUR NEW GEOGRAPHY. Speech of Attorney General Griggs at Quincy. Macomb, 111., Oct. 7. Attorney General Griggs spoke at Quincy yesterday as fol lows: "I was interested to see that vast con course of school children who turned out this morning, all with flags in their hands to welcome the President of the United States. It took me bade in memory to the days when I was an American school boy and I remember that in those days when I opened my geography I could find all the territory of the United States upon one continent and one page, but now when your children open their books and are told to point out the possessions over which the American flag floats in sover eignty, it takes two continents to dis close that territory. The secretary of the interior is making a new map of the United States of America and he is em barrassed to find room to place not only the states, but these vast new island pos sessions which have become ours. And what is their present condition? What do these school children learn about these islands that have come to stay? They will be told by their teachers that within a year there has been added to our domain a vast archipelago In the Pacific ocean, peopled with eight or ten millions of souls who speak more than a score of different languages, who compose more than two score different discordant and discon nected tribes. They will be told that for more than 300 years these Islands, rich in natural possessions, fertile in soil, have been governed by Spanish authority and that down to the end of this nineteenth century of civilization and progress, they have attained not much more intelligence not much more civilization, not much more wealth, and no more liberty than they had attained in those davs when the great Spanish galleons carried home an nually from those islands their wealth of gold and silver to enrich the treasury of King Phillip. "They will be told that today the United States of America possess bv solemn treaty, signed and ratified by Spain, ac cepted and approved bv the senate and the congress of the United States and its president the only lawful sovereignty and authority over those islands, a sovereign ty and an authority recognized and un disputed by any single nation or people on the faee of the earth. They will be told that In one of those islands, one of these numerous tribes has raised an armv of insurrection against the American flar that they, while our soldiers were in peaceful possession of Manila, attempted to rise and murder them and the Ameri can representative. That they fired on the American flag, that they defied its author ity and that they have attempted bv mur der, by conflagration ami by arms to drive the lawful authoritv of the United States from the iuland of Luzon. "They will be told, these children of ours, that these men who have attempted this comprise not one-tenth per cent of the people of those islands, and the an swer is to be made to those who ask what we are to do about It, is the plain and simple answer that was given In 1S81 'If any man attempts to haul down the American flag, shoot him on the spot." BACK FROM EGYPT. Men Who Built the Atbara Bridge Raturn. Philadelphia, Oct. 7. Supt. Wenneas of the Pencold Iron works of this city and the seven skilled iron workers who accompanied him to Egypt to erect the bridge over Atbara river in the Soudan reached the Pencoid works today. The whole force turned out to greet them. Work was suspended and whistles were blown. Supt. Wenneas modestly said today that he did not regard his achievement as a great one. He said that if he could have had a big force of American helpers to assist him in the erection of the bridge, instead of convicts, the only help available, he could have finished the work even quicker than it was done. There was no skilled labor In the Sou dan and Supt. Wenneas was forced to accept the services of the convicts who were provokingly slow in their work. As an instance, Mr. Wenneas said six gangs of these people, of six men each were able to drive only 100 rivets a day while in America one gang of four men is expected to drive 150 rivets a day. The intense heat was also a drawback and obliged suspension of operations each day from 11 o'clock to 3, work be- ing performed only from 8 to 11 and 3 to 6 o'clock. The many storms also seriouslv interfered with the nroe-ressi f the work. BARKLEY, Undertaker and Embalmer. The largest assortment of fine goods in the city at reasonable prices.

He said: "I was taken with rheumatism that began in my hips and spread throughout my body. For two years and a half I was confined to my bed. I employed nitie of the best physicians of Albany, and two specialists from New York, bat all declared my case hopeless. My niece recommended Dr. Will iams' Pink Pills for Pale People. The use of several boxes enabled me to leave my bed and go about with crutches. Finally I aban doned the crutches, and am now as well as ever. No praise of Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People is too strong for my case. MatTannek." Sworn to and subscribed before tne this 17th day of Sept., 1898. NaitB F. Towner, Notary Public.
