y LAST EDITION FRIDAY EVENING. TOPEKA, KANSAS, OCTOBER 27, 1899. FRIDAY EVENING. TWO CENTS. i IRRITATION. British Public 19 Annojed and Depressed By the First Results of the Af rican War. A WASTE OF LIFE. Early Confidence Has ReceiTed a llude Shock. Stage of Explanation and Apol ogy Has Been Reached. TCew York, Oct. 27. A dispatch to the Tribune from London, says: A curious cross-current of irritation and depression is noticeable in London. The chief cause is the sad news that Gen. Symons is dead. Medical men and the officials have placed little hope in the slight rally reported in his condi tion but the public mind was more mer curial and Mr. Wyndham's announce ment of the end was received in the house of commons with J, sudden start and in silence all the members, except a umall group of irreeoncilables uncov ering, and by the whole country with porrow and disappointment. The feel ing of public irritation was more subtle and not wholly explicable on the ground of the capture of the Hussars. There was a conviction that the cour age and skill of the British troops V. hich have drawn forth encomiums from the English press have been doubtfully cxpen.lt-d in the engagements of Glen- coe and Elandslaagte when it was un certain that it was necessary to defend these points which have been abandon ed by the concentration of the troops at Ladysmith. The depression caused by the war news in many circles is an unreasoning reaction against over-confidence. The field force in Natal has not met with disaster. It has won three battles and tias greatly increased its fighting power by the concentration of its forces and the abandonment of an unscientific plan of defensive operations. Unpleas ant as it may be for clubmen to hear that a squadron of Hussars is in Pre toria, like Dr. Jameson under guard; that the guns reported to have been captured at Glencoe were not taken; tha the wounded were left behind at Glencoe, and that killed, wounded and missing in three battles number nearly 7u0 out of 12.000 under arms, it still re mains true that the British have won every great battle although they have been greatly outnumbered by the ene my. Strictures upon the war office for issuing deceptive bulletins are unjust. The authorities acted properly in sup pressing information when a retreat was ordered from Dundee and even in creating the erroneous impression that i Glencoe was the point of concentration instead of Ladysmith. Lord "Wolseiey's commentaries upon the dispatches which it was imprudent to publish were not as lucid as Caeser's military notes, but they served the purpose of filling the pauses until the junction of the two forces could be effected. The main fact is that Gen. Yule's retreat was rendered unavoidable by the bad pian of military defense which had been been adopted by Gen. Symons be fore Gen. White's arrival in response to the urgent solicitations of the col onial authorities in Natal. Your correspondent is informed on Jiigh authority that the military staff considered Ladysmith as the real posi tion of defense and heavily fortified it, but that they only expected to hold f l Glencoe temporarily. They did not in trench the camp strongly and anticipa ted a withdrawal from it in the pres ence of overwhelming numbers. While this explanation is made after the retreat and consequently is open to suspicion of being a labored apology, it is probably correct. Certainly the war office should not be criticised with the rigid censorship of news when the ne cessity for it has been proved by Gen. ditions which rendered publicity dan- ditions which rendered puclicity dan gerous. On the other hand the foreign mili tary critics now in London praise the British performance as not only ad mirable in design and execution but in the features of a well considered whole, since the importance of an early dem onstration of the British fighting qual ity must have influenced powerfully the Boer generals and men. Politically, moreover, the effect is daily apparent In the modified behavior of the Cape Dutch. Dr. Leyds is busily contradicting the rumor of a probable attempt of the Transvaal to capitulate on the best terms it can get. It is learned from a trustworthy source that the statement of the great numbers of Boer forces given in the foreign and to some extent in the English press and attributable to Leyds had a purpose behind it. His object is believed to be an attempt by exaggerating the military power of the Boers still to be reckoned with, to induce England, in the event of Gen. White's being de- feated by Joubert's army, which un doubtedly outnumbers the Natal field force in the proportion of five to three into accepting some sort of a compro mise by which the inevitable humilia tion of the Transvaal may be much lessened. The strength of the Boer forces is known at the colonial office, where it was pointed out that Levds' contention that the Free States had 35. O'"i0 men in the field is obviously untrue since there was no such number of men capable of bearing arms. Gen. Joubert now receives more credit than, he probably deserves for brilliant tactics. His general plan of attack was admirable, but its execu tion was poor, and the retreating force was allowed to retire almost without observation and certainly without in terference. No advantage was taken of the opportunity of harassing it in the retreat and overwhelming it in the open country. NEVER SAW SUCH A FIGHT. London. Oct 97 i h;. t treeht. Transvaal, says: The fighting at Glencoe lasted nine hours The burghers say there never witnessed i .'It'11- "fhprai Lucius Meyers' force of 6.000 men with eightv-six guns was several times repulsed Belated dispatches from Tuli Fort h VT:r' -"uauon on the V,, it appears that Col oijtri nunier ascertained that all the Zoutpansberg Boers, numbering several hundred men, mustered under Piet Jou bert. at the Black river and proceeded to Limpopo river, where tv nr-i,..,i October 16, accompanied h- a m,K I armed. Shangan and Zoutpansberg Kaffirs, whom they had compelled to take up arms. The British thereupon captured three Kaffir chlef3, who are now held as hostages for the good be havior of their tribes. On October 19, reconnoitering patrols proceeding along the north bank of the river in a westerly direction, suddenly encountered a party of Boers in some dense bush on the Rhodesia side of the Limpopo. The patrol retired and the Boers fired, wounding a trooper. Sub sequently, Captain Glynne, with a pa trol, left Tuli with the object of locat ing the Boer force. On October 21. a strong Boer patrol was encountered at Rhodes Drift in a thick bush. A sharp skirmish was the result. Two of the British were killed and 2 wounded. The Boers had 7 men killed and many wounded. The Boers retired to a strong position on a kopjo at Fonts Drift. Major Pilsen, with an ambulane. proceeded to fetch the dead and wounded, and while placing the bodies on a cart, the Boers re-opened fire, killing two horses; but in spite of the sharp shooting, the British suc ceeded in carrying away their com rades. The latest dispatch from Tuli, dated October 24, says: "A Boer patrol crossed the river ten miles above Rhodes Drift twice recent ly, carrying native women and children. They shot cattle and looted." Great preparations are being made to welcome the New South Wales Lan cers at Cape Town tomorrow. AN ACT OF BRAVERY. Durban, Natal, Oct. 27. An interest ing incident in connection with the Elandslaagte fight is reported here. When the fire of the British guns be came too hot, eight Boers ran forward out of cover and standing together coolly opened fire at the Imperial light horse, with the evident purpose of drawing the latter's fire while their comrades retired. Seven out of the brave eight were killed. MANY BOER PRISONERS. London, Oct. 27. A special dispatch from Pietermaritzburg, Natal, dated October 24, says: Nine hundred and eighty-eight Boer prisoners arrived here this morning. They include Cap tains Devitt, Hammer, Forthus Dorey, Van Legger and Dotner. FIGHTING AROUND KIM BE RLE Y. London, Oct. 27. During the momen tary lull in the fighting in Natal comes news from the western border which temporarily shifts the scene of chief interest to the beleaguered British force at Kimberley. The sharp strug gle there Tuesday appears to have been the result of a sortie, with the view of breaking the cordon surrounding the place. The British apparently met 709 Boers and according to the official and other accounts, routed them after se vere fighting in which the armored trains appear to have been of valuable service. The Boers were entrenched strongly seven miles northward and the British brilliantly carried the enemy's position without serious loss. It is said that the Boers twice unfairly used a white flag. Botha, who was among the killed was a member of the Volksraad and a famous Dutch fighter. He dis tinguished himself as a marksman at Brenkhortspruit when the Ninety fourth British regiment was mowed down. He afterwards defended a farm house against the British. When he surrendered the farm house Botha was found with five wounds, bathed in blood. A special dispatch from Cape Town today gives details of the defeat of 700 Boers by the British at Riverton, north of Kimberley, Wednesday, in w hich the enemy was completely routed with heavy loss, the British loss being three men killed and 20 men, including two officers, wounded. This is probably the same fight, though a different date is given as referred to in the Cape Town dispatches of yesterday in which it was said that official reports from Kimberley Tuesday announced that Col. Scott-Turner with 270 men had an engagement with the Boers, during which a detachment of 100 men of the Lancashire regiment distinguished it self and the armored trains did good' service. The Boers were unable to withstand the splendid charge of the Lancashires who cleared the hill occu pied by the enemy at the point of the bayonet. The Boer losses are described as very heavy. Col. Scott Turner's force consisting of the local volunteers with the Lan cashires completed the rout of the burghers after Monday's artillery had driven them out of their entrench ments. Botha commanded the Boer force. The fight lasted four hours. Before the sortie Kimberley was apparently in high spirits as a dispatch from there dated October 23 says: "Every one was cheerful there at that time and that a wedding was celebrated there that day.'" The dispatch adds: "Great enthusiasm has been aroused here by the news of the British suc cesses in Natal. Several farmers in the neighborhood of Kimberley have been noticed in the ranks of the Boers. "A letter from Father Rorke said 600 Boers with 100 wagons were laagered at Taungs. "All the whites have left except the women who sought refuge in the con vent. The Boer commandant has promised to protect them. "The news from the northern border indicates that the Boers are actively trying to prevent Col. Plumer from re lieving Mafeking, hence the absence of news since Pretoria announced the bombardment of the place is creating considerable alarm. "The newspapers are making the most of what they claim to be 'signif icant admissions' in the supposed Boer official telegrams." THE RETREAT FROM GLENCOE. Cape Town, Oct. 2C. The story of the retreat from Glencoe and Dundee, shows the British were forced to move their camp twice in order to get out of the range of the excellent Boer prac tice. Just as they had decided to evac uate the second camp, a shell killed two soldiers. When General Yule heard of the bat tle of Elandslaagte, he sent a squad of Hussars under Colonel Knox and a bat tery of artillery to intercept the Boers at Biggarsberg. The artillery succeed ed in shelling the Boers as they were retreating over the Umpati mountain, killing and wounding many, but the artillerymen were forced to retire by the rifle fire of the enemy. It appears that the Boers shelled the camp all day long Sunday and the British were kept busy skirmishing and removing their transport wagons out of range. During the retreat there were many anxious moments Monday night, when the British marched through Van Londeers Pass, six miles long, across to Biggarsberg. The troops got through the dangerous defile, which fifty men could easily have held at 3 o'clock" Tues day morning. EFFECT ON THE ARMY. "Washington, Oct. 27. The death of Gen. Henry was announced to the war department today in a dispatch from Lieut. Traub, aide de camp on the gen- (Continued on Seventh Page.) KEEMVilM Cabinet Holds an Unusually Long Session. Flans For the Philippines Un der Discussion. MEMBERS WON'T TALK Say They Were Cautioned by President Not to Make Any Statement About the Sleeting. "Washington, Oct. 27. The cabinet meeting today lasted two hours and a half, an hour longer than usual. Af ter the adjournment the members were unusually reticent. One of the mem bers said the president had cautioned them against any statement about the meeting. It can be stated, however, that the discussion related to the Phil ippines and there is reason to believe that it was in reference to military and naval plans which are to be placed in operation soon. Fully an hour of the session was con sumed in a discussion of the political outlook, especially in Ohio, some of the members having received advtces from their friends engaged in the campaign conveying an accurate statement of ex isting conditions. There was some talk as to the pre paration of designs for the new custom house at New York, but no attempt was made to reach a conclusion. The Philippine discussion was brought about through newspaper publications of recent date purporting to outline the treaty or arrangement which Gen. Bates has made with the sultan of Sulu archipelago. Secretary Root took occasion to point out the unsoundness and unfairness, as he alleged, of the criticisms which have been cast upon the friends of that arrangement especially where they re late to the question of slave holding in the islands. SIXTEEN BANDS. They Will Furnish Music For Twentieth Kansas Reception. M. C. Holman, chairman of the mu sic committee for the reception, re ceived notice today that three more bands will be here to help swell the volume of music when the Twentieth arrives. The three are the Abilene, Kansas City and Salina bands. This makes a total of sixteen bands that have sent formal notice to Mr. Holman that they will be present. The Salina band sent their notification by wire at noon today. The list of these bands is as follows: Pence, Wamego, Junction City, Esk ridge, Marshall's, Girard, Mound City, Alta Vista, Marion, Dispatch of To peka, Wabaunsee county band, Read ing, Horton, Kansas City, Abilene and Salina. In addition to these there are several others that have sent word to private individuals in Topeka that they are coming, but the formal notification has not been sent to Mr. Holman. There will probably be quite a number, also, that will come without sending notifi cation. These bands will all take part in the parade, and after the parade is finished and they get their dinners, those who have sent in notification that they will be here will be assigned to give concerts in the band stands on the streets. The stands will be erected at the intersections of every cross street with Kansas avenue, all the way from Fourth street to Ninth, and at Jack son and Ninth near the Santa Fe building, at Van Buren and Tenth, south of the state house, and at Har rison and Ninth, west of the state house, and at possibly a few other points. These concerts will he given at 2:00, 3:00 and 3:30 o'clock in th-; afternoon and from 6:30 to 7:30 in the evening. The Twentieth Kansas band is also arranging to give two concerts in the Grand opera house one in the after noon and another in the evening after the fireworks display. This is a private enterprise on the part of the Twentieth band, and an admission fee will be charged. RANKERS ASK FAIR DEAL. Want Expres3 Companies to Pay Tax on Money Orders. "Washington, Oct. 27. A delegation of bankers, consisting of F. W. Hayes, president of Preston National Bank of Detroit, Charles R. Hannor. First Na tional Bank of Council Bluffs, and Per civa! Kuhne, of Knauth, Knachod and Kuhne, New York, representing the convention of bankers that met recent ly, were given a hearing today by Com missioner of Internal Revenue Wilson on the subject of the alleg-d discrim ination in favor of express companies in the matter of the payment of the special war tax imposed upon bankers and brokers for dealing in exchange. Last spring, under an opinion of the attorney general, based upon a decision of the supreme court, the commissioner held that the domestic money orders and travelers' checks issued by ex press companies, were in effect ordin ary checks and not exchange within the meaning of the law and that for their issue express companies were not liable to the payment of the special tax. Against this ruling the bankers and brokers take no exception, but they ar gued that in the issue of foreign money orders and travelers' checks they were selling exchange and were liable for the tax the same as bankers and brokers. Another point made against the Am erican express company is that it buys and sells foreign money. The law-provides for the payment of the special tax by bankers or brokers, buying or selling "exchange, coined money," etc. British Steamer Overdue. London. Oct. 27. There is some anx iety at Madeira, island of Funchal, re garding the fate of the British steamer Dunvegan Castle. She left Cape Town, October 11, and was due at Madeira October 24.

Senator Depew has given out a statement of the terms of the will of the late Cornelius Van derbilt. It shows that the fortune is estimated at $70,000,000. Alfred Gwynn Vanderbilt will get about $50,000,000. He thus becomes the head of the family. The will gives Cornelius Vanderbilt about $1,500,000. It gives to each of his remaining brothers and sisters about $7,500,000. Alfred, of course, not includ ed. Out of the spirit of affection for the purpose of satisfying all of the mem bers of the family, Alfred Gwynn Van derbilt gives his brother Cornelius enough of his inheritance to make his fortune equal to that of the other mem bers, namely $7,500,000. Senator Depew says that Cornelius Vanderbilt has ac cepted this arrangement in the spirit in which it was offered. GEN. HENRY IS DEAD. A Victim of Pneumonia at the Age of GO Years. New York, Oct. 27. Brigadier Gen eral Guy V. Henry, U. S. V., late mili tary governor of Porto Rico, died a few minutes before 4 o'clock this morning at his home 139 Madison avenue of pneumonia, aged 60 years. He had been unconscious for several hours and Iff s ii .-4 V J,- V-i'.-W i;. i--. .v. Cm t BRIG. GEN GUY V. HENRY, his end was peaceful. At his bedside were all the members of his family ex cept his son, Capt. Guy V. Henry Jr., who is in the Philippines. When Gen. Henry was taken ill ten days ago. Dr. Smith, a specialist in pulmonary troubles was summoned. and he later called in consultation two other physicians. The patient commenced to sink yesterday and in the afternoon became unconscious. Oxygen was used last night in the hope of carrying him through the crisis, but it was of no avail. BREIDENTHAL FIRM. Will Not Be a Candidate For GoTernor. John "W. Breidenthal was in Kansas City yesterday. One of the local papers quotes him as saying: "I have had a number of letters urg ing me to become a candidate for gov ernor but I will not do so." Despite Breidenthal's protests that he will not be a candidate, the Populists are booming him as their candidate. MANY LOST LETTERS. They Are For Soldiers and "Were on Wrecked Morgan City. Adjutant General S. M. Fox has re ceived a large consignment of mail for the members of the Twentieth Kansas which was thought to have been lost in the wreck of the steamer Morgan City off the Japan coast. The steamer was outward bound from the United States coast. She has been floated and the mail and other cargo removed. The letters in the possession of the adjutant general look as though they had gone through a long war. The majority of them are in good condition and will be given to the Kansans when they arrive in Topeka next week. BUT ONE MAN LEFT To Tell of the Disaster to the Steamer Zurich. Christiania, October 27 Details of the foundering of the steamer Zurich have reached here. It appears that when her fate was evident the crew constructed two rafts. The captain, three engi neers, the second mate and four ne groes, with two dogs, went with the first and the mate, boatswain, stocker, one white seaman and five blacks with the second. Neither raft was supplied with food or water and both were buf feted by the waves for four days, the crews starving. The first raft was picked up near the Bigton islands on October 24, with only the captain alive. The second was washed ashore the following day, bear ing no trace of humanity except the corpse of a negro. RECOGNITION DENIED. To the New Venezuelan Government by Foreign Ministers. Caracas, Venezuela, Oct. 27. The foreign ministers met yesterday at the American legation and decided not to recognize the Castro government with out instructions from their respective governments. President Andrade has cabled from Barbadoes, where he arrived recently, to the commander at Puerto Cabello, to defend that city against General Castro to the last extremity. Coro and Maracaibo have surrendered to General Castro. Order reigns here, i A. PAYSTHEPENALTY Rev. G. E. Morrison Hanged To day In Texas. Killed Wife That He Might Marry a Topeka Girl. WAS CAPTURED HERE. After Being Held Several Days Giren His Liberty. Afterwards Apprehended California and Tried. In Vernon, Tex., Oct. 27. Rev. G. E. Morrison, convicted of murdering his wife because he wished to marry a To peka girl, Miss Annie Whittlesey, was hanged here today at 12 o'clock. He met his death resignedly. On the scaffold he said to the select party of twenty witnesses permitted at the ex ecution: "I am innocent. Circumstances over which I had no control have placed me in this position. "I have taken my trouble in private to my God. I admit that I have acted indiscreetly. I have done no worse, however, than hundreds of men who stand high in the religious, social, bus iness and official circles of your state. I have done nothing to confess. I am in the hands of my Maker. He knows I am innocent." Morrison's neck was broken by the fall and his death appeared to be pain less. Rev. G. E. Morrison's crime was committed at Canadian, Tex., (in the Panhandle), on the night of October 10, 1897, by the administration of strych nine. The poison was given about 10 o'clock at night and Mrs. Morrison lived in terrible agony until the next morning. Mr. and Mrs. Morrison had on the night mentioned been to the church of which her husband was pas tor and he had preached a short ser mon. She was attacked with spasms soon after reaching home, and when her neighbors called. Rev. Morrison in formed them that his wife was subject to such attacks; that she had taken a capsule of quinine and that the medi cine seemed to have operated badly on her. Their neighbors had no thought at the time that Mrs. Morrison was the victim of a crime at the hands of her husband, and when the funeral was over the matter was soon dismissed as an unusual death incident in the com munity. The Rev. Morrison soon dis appeared, however.and his conduct was at first productive of comments of sur prise, then of suspicions of something being wrong and finally by open dec laration by many persons that their be lief was that he had committed wife murder. The train of thought and talk result ed in an official investigation. It was soon developed that for several months previous to the murder of Mrs. Morri son her husband had written letters to a former sweetheart, Miss Annie Whit tlesey, then living at Topeka, Kan. These letters contained strong protes tations of love. He represented himself as being still a widower and engaged in the cattle ranching business at Higgins, Tex. He desired Miss Whittlesey to marry him. The part the Rev. Morrison played toward Miss Whittlesey is best told in her own language, given on the witness stand on September 25. 1S98, when she appeared as a witness for the state in the trial of the Rev.Morrison, on change of venue, at Vernon, Tex. She testified that on the 29th day of July, 1897, G. E. Morrison visited her for the first time at her home at Topeka, Kan. He in troduced himself to her as an old schoolmate and sweetheart at Lebanon, 111. He stated that he had been mar ried and his wife had been dead about eleven years; that he was in the stock business at Higgins, Tex.; the next day he wrote her a note asking her to go buggy riding with him, and during the drive he proposed marriage to her and was accepted. He told her at that time he could not marry in less than one year, and possibly two years. He visited her the next day and again made expressions of love to her. He then returned to his home in the Pan handle of Texas. On August 3 he wrote her aletter call ing her dearest, darling, baby girlie, stating that he was lonely without her and would return as soon as possible. This letter was addressed at Higgins, Tex., and mailed on the train, but was evidently written at Panhandle. Tex., his home. Morrison again wrote Miss Whittlesey on the 9th day of Septem ber. 1S97. using the same endearing terms as in the former letter. In the letter he referred to something that had been written to him by her, and said that Mrs. Norris, sister of Miss Annie Whittlesey, and her brother were op posed to him when they were sweet hearts in Illinois, and that he believed that they would do everything possible to separate them again, but protested his love for her and said that he would prove himself to be what he represent ed himself. About ten days later he visited Miss Whittlesey at her home at Topeka and remained in Topeka during the carnival which was held at that time, and remained till the latter part of September. During his visit he ac companied her to the carnival and took frequent buggy rides with her. He told her that his cousin, Guy E. Morrison, a married man and a minister, was re siding at Panhandle, Tex.; that he was a minister himself, but was forced to quit regular preaching by reason of trouble with his throat; that he was now in the stock business. He return ed to his home at Panhandle about the 1st of October, and on October 5 mailed her a letter. He again called her his darling baby wife, and frequently re ferred to her as his darling baby girlie. The facts recited above were in the possession of the Texas authorities be fore the Rev. Mr. Morrison was arrest ed. They were learned while he was being searched for all over the United States as a fugitive from Texas justice. Miss Whittlesey's exposures, after she had discovered his duplicity and vi! lainly, did much to bring about his cap ture and sealed his conviction. Morrison was traced to Los Angeles, Cal., and thence to San Francisco, where he was arrested on April 1, 1898. He had, however, been taken into custody on November 20, 1897, and detained sev eral dais before by Chief of Police Steele of Topeka, Kan. His release was brought about by a telegram from persons in Panhandle City, Tex., who represented that Morrison's arrest was the resuLt of a mistake. He immediate ly disappeared from Topeka, and Miss "Whittlesey's statements soon put the officers of the law again on his track. He was traced to St Louis, down through Louisiana, up into Indiana, thence across the continent to the Pa cific coast, where he was about to en list In the United States navy when identified and captured through a de scription on one of the 1.100 cards sent broadcast over the land by Chief Steele, immedately after Morrison's departure from Topeka. On the trial at Vernon it was proven that a few days before the death of his wife, the Rev. Mr. Morrison purchased at a drug store In Panhandle City a quantity of quinine and strychnine. An autopsy developed a considerable quan tity of strychnine in the stomach of th dead woman. This testimony, and that of Miss Whittlesey, made up the prin cipal part of the state's case. Morri son was convicted on September 27, 1S93. His lawyers and friends exerted their best efforts to procure a reversal from the state court of criminal ap peals, but the verdict of the lower court was sustained. Much pressure was .brought to bear on Governor Sayers for a commutation of the death penalty sentence to one of life imprisonment. Mr. and Mrs. Morrison were natives of Illinois. Before they were married she was Miss Minnie Brady. They were married at Hillsboro, 111., in 1880. J. H. Thompson of that place married a sis ter of Mrs. Morrison, and other rela tives still live there. BOTH GOING TO HEAVEN. Austin and Dallas, Texas, Each Have a Hanging. St. Louis, Oct. 27. A special to the Post Dispatch from Austin, Tex., says: Samuel Watrous, one of the murderers of G. W. Engberg and his wife was hanged in the jail yard here today. Be fore dying Watrous said he was going to heaven. James Davidson, convicted of the same crime, will be hanged on November 24th. A Post-Dispatch special from Dallas, Tex., says: Walter Ford, who cruelly murdered his sweetheart, Lucinda Moore at Caco in June, 1898, was hanged in the city today. He died without faltering, saying he was going straight to heaven. $8,335.00. The Twentieth Kansas Entertainment Fund.

Federal Prisoner Applies For Par don For Soldiers' Reception. B. F. Hime, who is serving a sentence in the county jail for delaying the United States mails, is trying to devise ways and means whereby he can witness the parade of the Twentieth Kansas when it arrives. He is an old soldier and the fact that he is to be shut up in a jail within two blocks of the heroes and not even get a glimpse of them, is very obnoxious to im. On this account he has written to Pres ident McKinley asking to be pardoned in time to witness the parade. He also says he wants to get out of jail in time to vote this fall, as he is a good Republican. As nis letter only went to wasnmgton this week, however, it is doubtful about his reouest being granted. Hime is the man who was a mail car rier out In Russell county. He got into a fight, and when he was arrested he clung to his mail sacks and took them to jail with him, refusing to allow anyone else to carry them. For this he was arrested for delaying the mails and taken before Judge Hook at Leavenworth about two weeks ago, and was sentenced to 30 days in the Shawnee county jail and to pay a fine of $25. His time will be out on November 11. Immediately after he was sentenced he applied to Governor Stanley for a pardon, under the impression that the governor could pardon him. After he is released from jail Hime wants to get into the Leavenworth sold iers' home, and has made application for the "by-laws" of the institution. PAPER MAN. He Was Received Today For TJaa of Medical Students. A paper-mache model of a well de veloped man about six feet tall was received at the Kansas Medical college today. Every nerve, vein, ar tery and other anatomical element of the human body is reproduced with ex act coloring and properly placed in the model, and all are detachable. The model can be separated into hundreds of parts and put together again. It will be used to famaliarize students with anatomical locations and condi tions before they are initiated into the art of dissection. The model is an imported affair, and cost $1,000. It arrived at the college in a box resembling a coffin, and people living in that vicinity probably suppos ed it was a "subject" for the dissecting room. BAD FOR PYRAMIDS. Topeka Insurance Order Is Again Sued. Suit has been brought in Justice Wright's court to recover $160.85 which F. L. Mclnnis claims is due him from the Ancient Order of the Pyramids, and garnishment papers have been served on the Merchants National bank, barnisheeing any money that the order may have on deposit there. Mclnnis was state inspector of the order for Missouri, and he claims that the money is due him on salary and commissions. A similar suit has also been brought by E. L. Stratton, who was state in spector of the order for Colorado, and it is said that other actions are being preparea. Frank S. Thomas has been granted a license as agent of the Continental In surance company. ONE MORE ENTRY Judge Wm. Thomson In the Congressional Race. Would Represent the People of the Fourth District. POPULAR OFFICIAL. Politicians' Plans Would Cut Little Figure With Him. Apt to Make Trouble For Mr. Miller. Osage county Republicans who have visited Topeka this week have brought the news that Judge William Thomson of Burlingame is considering the idea of becoming a candidate for congress In the Fourth district next year. Judge Thomson has long had con gressional aspirations and some of his friends urged him to make the race last year but he preferred to seek re-election as judge of the district comprising Osage and Wabaunsee counties. Early this year there were various complications in the district, concern ing the census supervisorship, which caused some of the politicians to believe that there would be a general warfare inaugurated against the present incum bent, J. M. Miller. The situation has been smoothed out, however, and the Osage county Repub licans are reported to be for the nomin ation of Mr. Miller. This being true the candidacy of Judge Thomson would embarrass them and would also have a tendency to dis arrange some of their plans. This condition is responsible for a statement that Judge Thomson would not be given a show if he should decide to make the race this year. A group of politicians from Osage county who were discussing this subject with some of the Republicans in this city this week professed to be surprised at the attitude of Mr. Thomson. One of them who lives at Scranton said: "That would never do. The plans have already been made and we are for Miller's renomination. If the judge should become a candidate he wouid play havoc with the deals already made. He must keep out of the race this next year and give Mr. Miller a show for a second term." With this sentiment the politicians and the local workers from Osawe seem ed to agree and the conference ended, the feeling being that Judge Thom son and his ambitions had been dis posed of effectually. KANSAN IN INDIANA. Mr. Cook Says Hoosiers Talk a Great Deal About 17 a. W. "W. Cook, assistant state auditor, returned yesterday from a visit at his old home, Noblesville, Ind., having been absent almost two weeks, renewing the acquaintances of his youth and being introduced to cousins he had never seen. "A man from Kansas feels proud to go east," said Mr. Cook to a Journal reporter. "The people back at my old home talk more about Kansas than they do about their own affairs. Our politicians are as well known among many of the people as are the Indiana leaders. Our crop reports are eagerly sought after and anything in the way of news from Kansas is always inter esting to them. "The one subject which people there and on the train talk about constantly is the Twentieth Kansas. The deeds of the Kansas fighters are recited in detail and every one seems to have a good word for our boys. I think I heardi more than 100 people say that they re gretted their inability to be present an I see the reception which the twentieth receives on the arrival in Topeka. I in vited everybody I saw to come," con cluded Mr. Cook. FOST SCOTT COMING. Will Charter a Train to Attend Re ception. Judge J. S. "West, assistant attorney general, has returned to his desk after a week's campaigning in the southeast ern part of the state, during which tim? he paid a visit to his former home, Fort Scott. Judge West is a resident of Kansas City, Kan., at this time. Judge West said to a Journal re porter today: "The people in the south eastern, part of the state are much in terested in the reception which Topeka is planning for the Twentieth Kansas. The last thing I heard when J left Fort Scott was that an effort was being made to charter a special train to brintr the people from that and adjoining towns to Topeka for the reception. There will be a multitude of people from that part of the state because a ma jority of the regiment comes from down there. Every town is talking of the event and not a cross road in a ha!f dozen counties will fail to send repre sentatives. W. F. GUTHRIE'S PROMISE. Will Leave Kansas Forever If Charges Can Be Proved. When the Atchison National bank failed it was charged that W. F. Guth rie, the attorney for the bank, also one of the attorneys for the Atchison Bridge company, had given the latter company a "tip" which enabled the company to draw from the bank $15, 000. Mr. Guthrie has issued a manifesto too long to read but in the closing para graph he says: "If it is proven by the litigation which has now been commenced that I gave the bridge company such a "tip." I promise to leave the town and the state and never again trouble the peo ple of my own home town." MR. BAILEY'S COMMITTEE. Congressman Wants to Serve With, the Agriculturists. Congressman W. J. Bailey who repre sents the state at large is a candidate for a place on the committee of agri culture. All of the political influence which Mr. Bailey and his friends can muster is being brought to bear in his favor. Mr. Bailey wants to get as near the head of the committee as possible. He is keeping up a fire of correspondence which he hopes will gratify his ambition.

Carriages Will Not Be Allowed on Streets During Reception. No teams, carriages or wagons will ie allowed on Kansas avenue, or any of the cross streets within a block of the avenue along the line of march of the parade on the morning of the Twentieth Kansas reception. This or der is imperative. Chief Ramsey requests that people will remember to leave their carriages at home on that day, so that there will tie no trouble. It will do no good to bring them down town, because they will positively be kept off the avenue and the side streets. The side streets have been included in this order because whenever there has been a parade heretofore, people would come in carriages and collect in the side streets in such numbers as to blockade the entire street. This year there will be people enough on foot to fill in all that room. The principal rea son is that if the fire department should be called out there would be no possible way for it to turn off of the avenue on account of the blockade of teams. For this reason the side streets will be kept clear. People will also be required to keep on the sidewalks on the avenue so as to leave the street entirely clear for the parade. This is another order that win be absolutely enforced on that day. CHARLES ADAMS CO. Tlie Women's Store. SATURDAY Sp2GaI Safe -.OF...

This not only interferes with those in the parade, but it also shuts off the view of everybody on the walks and in the buildings, while if the people will remain on the walks there will be room enough for all to see. Chief Ramsey is having trouble find ing enough competent men to act as special policemen on the day of the re ception. '"On circus days." he said, "I have about three applications for every job, but for this reception we have to hunt for men. No one seems to want to work on that day, even at being a po liceman." Express Car Burned In Santa Fe. Chicago, Oct. 27. A carload of ex press packages of the Wells Fargo Ex press company was burned near Holton, 111., on the Santa Fe road yesterday.

It is announced that the pulpit committee o the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church will next Sunday recommend to the congregation the selection of Rev G. Campbell Mor gan, of New Court Congregational church, London, as successor to Rev. Dr. John Hall. The Fifth avenue pul pit committee is extremely anxious for early action, since the Rev. Mr. Mor gan has received four other formal and informal calls to American churches, among them the Second Presbyterian church of Chicago. Mr. Morgan will not be 3G years old until December 9, next. His father was a Baptist minister in Gloucestershire, and his mother the daughter of a Bap tist deacon. He educated himself in the sense that he began to study on his own account and went to Cheltenham and the Jewish Collegiate school in Birmingham to acquire there certain things which in his self -educational process he found he wanted to know. His first pastorate was at Hull. WILL EMPLOY HELP. Plan of Campaign to Be Car ried on by Aguinaldo'a Kepresentatire. New York, Oct. 27. A special to the World from Washington says: Secretary of State Hay when asked if Senor Regidor, the Filipino envoy, would be permitted to appear before the Philippine commission, said: "I have heard that he contemplated visit ing the United States and would pre sent some such plan as that outlined by the newspapers. He would have no of ficial or diplomatic status in Washing ton, either as the agent of the Filipino insurgents or as a diplomatic represen tative of the so-called Filipino govern ment. The question of his being heard by the Philippine peace commission rests entirely with the commission it self. The state department is not con cerned in the matter in any way." From a confidential source it is learn ed that Senor Regidor, who contem plates visiting the United States within the next six weeks as the envoy of Aguinaldo with plenipotentiary powers, to treat with the United States govern ment will employ as his legal represen tatives a well known firm of Washing ton lawyers, who have had much ex perience in international problems. The basis of demand of the Filipinos for the establishment of an independ ent government will be contained in a memorial to be filed with the commis sion as coming from a number of the leading residents of several of the larger islands in the Philippine archipe lago.representing various races and not by any means confined to the Filipino. This memorial will recite that the Filipino government which was estab lished June 18, 1898, was directly in spired by the example of the United States; that at the time of the adoption of the so-called government the natives who were in a majority and by every right should govern the islands, found themselves superior in position as to their control of their country to that of the Americans when the American declaration of independence was framed. The memorial will plead that this country should not repudiate an exam ple based upon its own experience in resisting conditions similar to those which the United States contested a century ago. The Filipino envoy, Senor Regidor, will, it is understood, not confine him self to diplomatic representations. If he i3 refused an official status he will immediately start a newspaper propa ganda much after the fashijn of that instituted by the Cuban Junta during the early years of their war. He will endeavor to have literature favorable to the Filipinos published in the Congressional Record which will be distributed throughout the country and in this manner arouse sympathy for his people. Senator Hoar and others of equal note can be depended upon to assist in this crusade. Members of the house of representatives will also be willing to champion the cause of the Filipinos. The withdrawal of Speaker Reed is regarded as of material assistance to their cause for the reason that, while personally favoring the independence of the Fil!pino3, he was so great a par ty man that he refused to permit a dis cussion of the question in the house. To Prevent Spread of Sesease. Chicago, Oct. 27. To prevent the spread of infectious diseases among children the school board has decided to appoint fifty medical inspectors.

Robert Wiziarde, the Kansas City writ er, who is managing the western tour of Miss Ida Simmons, the concert pianiste, has donated I'M copies of his "Annual" to be sold for the Twentieth Kansas recep tion fund.

Notwithstanding the feud which has existed between William Hayes and Thomas James, of North Topeka, who are now engaged in a law suit in the district court, the warmest friendship has pre vailed between Mrs. Hayes and Mrs. James throughout all the troubles.

Many people purchase buggy horses in the spring and then sell them in the fall to save the expense of keeping them through the wrinter, but a Topeka doctor reverses this order. He keeps a horse during the winter when the roads are bad. and then sells him in the summer when he can use his bicycle most of the time. He is looking for a new horse now. Alice Neilsen and her company, seen here last season in "The Fortune Teller," opened with a new opera. "The Singing Girl," at the Casino in New York city this week. Topeka people will probably not be so fortunate as to see Miss Neilsen and her company this season, as the New York critics are generous in their praise of the new production. This probably means an all winter stay in New York. The following are the new officers of the Union Veterans' Union: M. O. Frost of lopeka, commander; A. J. Weaver of RIBBONS.

It was during such weather as we have been having for the past three days a year ago last spring that the wild geese came to the electric lights in great num bers in several towns over the state, and were so thick in some of the suburbs of Topeka that they were killed with clubs. People who witnessed that phenomenon have been watching for its return, but the same thing may not happen again in fifty years. This is Ed Howe's view expressed in the Atchison Globe: "This is a funnv world. Over in Topeka, Governor Stanley has nominated H. Ij. Robinson to be "major of artillery." His duties will be to keep track of the state's artillery. The state has but one piece, a rusty old can non on the state house grounds In which the neighbors' chickens roost and lay eggs. "Major of artillery" is a fine title for a job that will consist of shooing off chickens." SENATOR BAKER'S RETORT Says Kansas Delegation Has Been Fulling For funston. New York, Oct. 27. A special to the Times from -Washington says: Senator Lucien Baker.of Kansaswhife disclaiming; any idea of holding a con troversy with General Funston, today made a retort to the latter's statement that the Kansas soldiers owed nothing to the Kansas congressmen. He said: "The Kansas delegation urged the sending of the Kansas soldiers to the Philippines. It may not be that their requests had anything to do with the orders that were finally issued by the war department. In the same way I know that the promotion of General Funston to the rank of brigadier was urged by members of the Kansas dele gation. That action, again may have had no weight or may not have been of service to him. He highly deserved the promotion, and It would probably have come to him in any event." SAMPSON IS HONORED. New Yorkers Are Making: Much Fuss Over Him. Rochester, N. T., Oct. 27. Rear Ad miral Sampson after spending 24 hours in this city, left at 10:40 o'clock this morning over the New York Central for Palmyra, the place of his birth. Preparations have been making for some time to extend him welcome. The admiral and his wife were escorted to the station by the George H. Thomas post, G. A. R., headed by the 54th regi ment band and a great crowd of people were in and about the depot to see him off. An invitation extended to Rear Ad miral Sampson some time ago to visit this city as the guest at the annual dinner of the chamber of commerce has been accepted.

In. the face of the successful opera tion of axle light on Santa Fe trains every night George H. Benjamin, of New "Fork, declares the -proposition' Impractical. Mr. Benjamin in an article In the New York Mail and Express eays: -It is stated by a writer in your pa per that to drive the dynamo 'does not lessen the speed of the train or call for any additional power from the en gine,' which is equivalent to saying that no horse power is required to fur nish the current. In point of fact, the cost of driving the dynamo from the axle is greater than where the power is derived from a separate steam en gine, and for the simple reason that the cost of generating power in a locomo tive engine is about twice that in a stationary engine. Again, that such a system may be maintained in run ning order by "a five minutes' inspec tion of the battery every six weeks meets every requirement.' Every elec trician who has had any experience with dynamo electric machines and storage batteries knows that they re quire constant attention to maintain them even in fair working order. "Without discussing further the mis leading statements of the article. I would give as my opinion, after twen ty years' experience in this country and Europe, that such system is abso lutely impracticable." Harvey Hiddleton's Career.

Railway Age. Aluminum Headlight Keflector. "A new departure in the wav of an aluminum reflector is Delng tried in the headlight of Santa Fe engine No. 51. The advantages claimed for this kind of a reflector are a great saving in the first cost, and brilliancy as long as the reflector lasts. When it gets dull, all that is necessary to bring back the brilliancy is to rub it up a little. With the usual plated reflectors the bril liancy is lost after they have been used for a long time, owing to the silver wearing off, and can be replaced only by having the reflector replated with ilver. B. B. Agnew Dead. K. B. Agnew, formerly dispatcher for the D. and R.

His Brother Expects to Hear Prom Him Next Tear. Mobile, Ala., Oct. 27 Evelyn B. Bald win, Arctic explorer and observer in the United States weather bureau, who has been assigned to duty at this sta tion, has arrived here from Washing ton. He has Just received a letter from Capt. Ernest Andree of Sweden, broth er of the polar aeronaut and has given to the Associated Press the following extract expressive of Andree's confi dence in his brother's safety and his conjectures as to his whereabouts: "My opinion is that if my brother had land ed anyw here between 86 or SS degrees north and 70 or 80 degrees west and ISO degrees west (Greenwich meridian) we would have heard from him. But not having heard directly from him as to his having landed, I think he must have come down to the west of ISO de grees and between S3 and 87 degrees north. From S5 degrees north and ISO degrees west it is about 750 miles to the nearest known land, to new Si beria. Taymur, Franz Josef Land, Greenland, and the Parry islands. At the same daily progress made by Nan sen of three miles, it would take him two years to reach the coast of the Parry islands and another year before he could communicate with civilization. My brothsr several times expressed his wish to examine the ocean north of the Parry islands. "The first one of my brother's buoys was found on the north coast of Ice land. Lately, however, another has been found on the north coast of King Charles land east of Spitzbergen. He had with him 12 buoys, 11 smaller ones and a large one.the latter to be thrown out when the balloon was as far north as the expedition expected to reach. "If the expedition reached S4 or S5 de grees north and 90 or 100 degrees east and then got northerly winds it is most likely they would have thrown the buoy not expecting to go any more to the north. But the wind might have changed in a few hours again to the south or southwest and thus have car ried the balloon to 84 or 86 degrees north and 90 degrees west or 180 de grees. Here they may have landed in an unexplored region previous to reach ing which they may have sailed back ward and forward several times. Re member that the balloon sailed 15 or 16 miles an hour during the first three hours. "I do not put the least faith in any of the many reports with the exception of course, of the pigeon message and the two buoys. I do not expect to hear anything more this year but expect to hear more next summer." HILLMON CASE TROUBLES. At- n HAS MO EQUAL. (in a Borden's Condensed Milk Co., NswYarS f l INFANT F00. May Be Thrown Out of Court tempt to Bribe a Juror. Leavenworth, Kan., Oct. 27. The Hillmon case being tried in the United States circuit court, is in danger of being thrown out of court on a de murrer. When the prosecution finished its case last evening one of the attor neys moved a demurrer to the evidence in behalf of both companies, and the court was inclined to sustain it, but de ferred argument until Friday morning. The grounds upon which the motion is based are that the plaintiff, in bring ing the case into the federal courts, had failed to state that it was brought by a citizen of one state against a citi zen of another. The defense urged; however, that the facts of the corpora tion's being of another state were stated explicitly in the insurance poli cies, and begged leave to put Mrs. Smith (Hillmon) upon the stand to state that at the time of bringing the suit she was a resident of Kansas. Mrs. Hillmon finished her evidence for the prosecution about 4:30 o'clock, when the prosecution rested its case. Her evidence was as to a mole upon the back, of Hillmon. a mole being about the only point of identification found at the post mortem upon the body. Judge Hook ruled out the evidence of Dr. Patterson, a dentist, of Law rence, who made a plaster cast of the mouth of the body. Judge Hook caused a sensation by stating that an attempt had been made to tamper with a juror. Judge Hook said: "Before we ad journ I desire to speak of a matter that I deem it my imperative duty to men tion. One of the jurors has come to me with the statement (and I honor him for his prompt compliance with his duty, and the orders of the court) and in formed me that he had been, approach ed by a person, with what seemed to him as the preliminary step to an at tempt at bribery. lie has stated the facts to me and I am bound to say that it impressed me in the same way that it did the juror. "The matter has not gone far enough to cause me to feel that it is necessary to mention either the name of the per son or the name of the juror, but this I do say, that if that attempt is con tinueu or that sort of an effort is again made I will see that that person goes before the next grand jury in this court." One of the attorneys for the insur ance companies arose and stated that they had no connection with anything of the kind. They courted the fulelst in vestigation and moved for the dismissal of the entire panel. This was not done, but Judge Hook said: "What I have said is not in any way to be construed to be a reflection upon any attorney connected with this case, because the person whom I have in mind was not an attorney connected with the case and there is no occasion for any counsel to say anything; but this I say, that this kind of thing must stop, for this trial will be conducted, if it lies within my power to do it, with out the result being affected by corrup tion and bribery.

Dollars rained for three minutes in the sale ring in the Hereford show yesterday. It was the culmination of a scene that was entirely foreign to a stock sale. The money was for Mrs. Kate Wilder Cross, widow of the late Charles S. Cross, founder of the Sunny Slope (Kansas) stock farm and one of the most noted breeders in the country. When Cross, last fall, found that he could no longer keep up under a weight of debt which wrecked him and the Emporia National bank, of which he was president, he shot himself. His widow promptly turned over to his creditors all that she possessed. Fin ally one calf, Bonnie Prince, a Here ford of fine lineage, reverted to Mrs. Cross. She put the animal up for sale. When Auctioneer Colonel Woods asked for bids, an offer of $500 was made. Immediately a spirited contest began, the representative of Marshall Field of Chicago, finally bidding $f00. Then Colonel Slaughter of Fort Worth, Texas, stepped into the ring and WORST KIND OF CASE. We Will Tell You if You Will Believe It. The Experience of Well Known Persons Ought Surely Be Convincing;. We ask you to read the following statement from a well known citizen because she suffered from one of the worst kind of cases of backache and kidney disorders, and was cured by Morrow's Kid-ne-oids. If you are in the least way troubled with a weak back or disordered kidneys use Mor row's Kid-ne-oids, they cure every time. Mrs. G. W. Sweezey, 723 Van Buren street, Topeka. Kansas, says: "I have suffered from kidney troubles for four or five years, also muscular rheuma tism, extreme nervousness, dizziness, sick headache and indigestion. Learn ing of Morrow's Kid-ne-oids I conclud ed to give them a trial. I did so and was greatly relieved. I continued to use them and am today cured of my former complaints. I also used Mor row's Liverlax and found it to be an excellent remedy also." Morrow's Kid-ne-oids are not pills, but Yellow Tablets and sell at fifty cents a box. Morrow's Liverlax are small red granules and sell at twenty five cents a box. Both can be pur chased at all drug stores and at Swift Holliday's drug store. Mailed on receipt of price. Manufac tured by John Morrow Co., Chemists, Springfield, Ohio. throwing a silver dolar in the saw dust near where Bonnie Prince stood, call ed on those present to "throw in a dol lar as a little present for the brave lit tle woman." Dollars fairly rained and when they were later gathered up they filled a peck measure. Then Mrs. Pauline Whit man, whose late husband. C. Is. Whit man, was one of the great Hereford breeders of the country offered to add $200 to the highest price bid for Bonnie Prince. It was announced that Mar shall Field's representative had offered $910 for the calf, which with Mrs. Whit man's $200, made $1,110. Field was de clared to be the purchaser. Fancy prices were again the rule at the sale and many high bred Here fords were disposed of. Colonel Slaugh ter, of Fort Worth, Texas, paid the highest price of the day. giving $1,950 for Aaron, a calf just a year and a day old. owned by W. S. Van Natta and Son of Fowler. Ind. Baby of Alamo, a handsome three-year-old cow, was knocked down to Frank Rockefeller, of Cleveland. O., for $1,600, after a spirited bidding. She was sold by John Sparks of Reno, Xev., who paid $2,500 for the blooded heifer Ar mour Rose. Beau Donald the eighth, calf, was sold by W. H. Curtice of Eminence, Ky., to P. C- Rohme. Fort Worth, Tex., for $1,200. Colonel Slaughter dropped out after bidding $1,125. Other sales: Beau Donald, the seventh, calf, to John W. Lowell. Denver, $600. Vestana, young cow, to K. B. Armour, Kansas City, $G60. SOME LAND LEFT TET. Government Still Owns Nearly a Bil lion Acres. Washington, Oct. 27. The annual re port of Commissioner Hermann of the general land office, shows a grand total of 929,308.068 acres of unappropriated and reserved public lands in the Un ited States. The disposals of public lands during the fiscal year show an in crease gf 728.586 acres, as compared with the aggregate of the previous year. The total cash receipts of the service in creased $729,142 over last year. Origin al homestead entries showed a de crease of 28,970 in area involved and final entries an increase o 329.934,192 in area. There were 150.541 acres cer tified or patented as swamp lands dur ing the year, an increase of almost 54, fcO J. Indian and miscellaneous land pat ents issued aggregated 212.843 acres and 420.760 acres selected by the various states and territories were approved and certified for educational and other purposes. Under the several railway grants made by congress there were certified and patented last year 504.671 acres of land, together with 60,392 acres for wag on road construction. The commission er made a number of returns looking to the betterment of the land laws and suggests the enlargement of the Mount Ranier national park in Washington, and the Tellowstone national park in Wyoming.

The proper utiliz ation of the grazing lands on the public domain is also urged and it is pointed out that so long as the land laws re quire mill men and other lumber men to ,pay a fair price to the government for timber supplies drawn from public land there should be an equal charge levied on the grazing products of pub lic lands. The government, it is urged, should derive a revenue from leasing such lands. The adjustment of the Northern Pacific grants shows 36,570, 099 acres as the quantity of lands to which that company is entitled and there is still due the company 11,851,832 acres. The whole area of the grant to the Union Pacific is found to be 12.129,842 acres, of which 5,155.646 acres is still due. The whole area of the grant to the St. Paul. Minneapolis and Mani toba company is 1.287,228 acres and the company has actually received an ex cess of 10.975 acres. The adjustment of the Northern Pa cific grant shows there was a deficiency of more than half a million by the grant of May, 1878. A deficiency also may be found of the grant of 18S4. CANNON COMING. Col Metcalf Says It Will Be Put Off In Topeka. A letter, received by the governor from Col. Wilder S. Metcalf of the Twentieth, states that the Moorish can non being brought home for the manu facture of the medals for the Twentieth Kansas boys is to be shipped as regi mental baggage and will be put off the train in Topeka. Col. Metcalf says the order changing the date of the muster out from No vember 3 to October 28 has made the men hustle with their work in order to be ready on the latter date. "I believe," says the colonel, "that the work will all be completed in due time because the men are busy night and day." In a letter to Major A. P. Shreve, Col.

She is Is suing "greenbacks." Oom Paul, who Is a millionaire 25 times could carry on the war for some time on his own, resources. There Is one important difference be tween football and war. In the former no prisoners are taken. These victories that are followed by enforced retreats are not calculated to bring Joy to the British heart. General Funston has declared that the politicians had nothing to do with his going to the Philippines. Now let Dewey speak up, too. Gen. Davis Rives it out that the in habitants of Porto Rico will never be fitted for self government. Now let us hear about the Cubans. Colonel Roosevelt has taken one more step in the direction of a presidential nomination by making a record of 18 speeches in 36 hours down in Maryland. It is a little remarkable that the re formers are paying so much attention to the possibility of the seating of Con gressman Roberts and so little to that of Senator Quay. When voting machines come into general use, thus doing away with the possibility of a false count, what will the defeated candidates do for an ex planation of the result? The opponents of the Philippine war seem to be confining their efforts to stop it exclusively to one of the com batantsthe United States. Tet the Filipinos are doing a large share of the fighting. Omaha Bee: Eastern investors, who, during the hard times were making so much fuss about being compelled to take western farms on foreclosure pro ceedings, are now only too glad to get possession of those same farms by out right purchase. They are willing to buy them or loan money on them. But the western farmers are in no hurry to sell and instead of borrowing more money are rapidly paying off what they borrowed in years past. The following from the Philadelphia Record shows what a soldier may ex pect to get when he becomes a candi date for office: Unless the soldiers of his own regi ment belie him. Lieutenant Colonel Barnett, Republican candidate for state treasurer, should follow the ex ample of Mr. Adams, the Republican nominee for judge of the superior court, and take himself off the ticket. He is denounced as a skulker in bat tle, who when the bullets were flying was afraid to lead his men, but found cowardly shelter in a rice dyke. He is also charged with neglect of duty toward the lamented Colonel Hawkins, the beloved commander of the Tenth Pennsylvania, on his fatal Journey homeward. These are not rumors. They are the averments of soldiers of the regiment with whom Lieutenant Colonel Barnett served in the Philippines. If the sol diers have told the truth and we are not at liberty to doubt them Lieutenant Colonel Barnett ought to be ashamed to parade in his regimentals in any part of Pennsylvania. He should have stopped off in Honolulu and kept com pany with Eagan. The Keystone state has no further use for him. Worcester Spy: A new luminary has appeared in the western political sky, in the shape of General Funston. That toe will be honored in some way politic ally. If he survives the next campaign In the Philippines, seems assured, but there seems to be some uncertainty what form the political preferment will take. He is already counted as one of the coming men in politics by the lead ers, and it is said that his return to the Philippines has been brought about by politicians who want him out of the way. If his next record on the firing line is as good as his past one, instead of getting him out of the way, they will find that it has put him very much in the way of political preferment. Fun ston has a liking for the United States Senate, and it Is thought that his re turn to the Philippines will insure his election to succeed Senator Baker. Wars make political leaders as well as sol diers. Funston was unknown outside his own state when the war broke out, but now he is but little less known than Dewey. The Tacoma Ledger embodies its Idea of the duty of the citizens to the returning volunteers in the following: Respecting, as we do, the motives of all who have sought to make a regi ment's return the signal for a holiday, and giving them credit for all single ness of purpose, we believe that the desires of the boys themselves point out the welcome home that will be most grateful to them all. Large sums of money have been offered and collected to make the occasion a memorable one. These are sufficient, first, to carry ev ery soldier to his home without ex pense, and that should be done. They Sviil, in the second place, be adequate to place every man. within reach of honorable employment for the future: and thus ends his next and most anxious concern. With these purposes realized, we believe that the men who have de fended the flag will feel themselves a thousand times happier and more hon ored than if they were the center of one fete day, to their own embarrass ment, and then disbanded to meet the new and possibly hard conditions of their future without a helping hand. The Ledger approves most heartily the action that has been taken in har mony with these views by the Tacoma committee. Our own boys will be brought back here without expense to themselves, coming by the route of their own choice. This will Include and not interfere with any demonstration anywhere in their honor in which they may choose to participate. We will re ceive them not as if a circus had come to town, but with the homely yet tender thoughtfulness tnat marks the return of husbands, brothers, sons. Already positions that have been held for those who left them are being made ready. We urge that any funds remaining available be devoted to placing in busi ness occupations those others who are less fortunate. Our disgrace will come not if we fail to go out with a brass band, but if any Tacoma soldier is to be found three months from now with out proper support for himself and those dependent upon him. GLOBE SIGHTS From the Atchison Globe.J It can usually be said of every daughter of sixteen years that she runs the house. Don't depend on the future too much: there is a funeral in store for everyone in the future. The people devote more time to rub bernecking every day, but there is no more see than there was centuries ago. When a girl walks home, swinging her parasol in a reckless sort of way, it is a sign that she lacks a nickel with which to pay her street car fare. A girl visiting in Atchison has four party dresses in her trunk. This means that she expects four parties, and her hostess is looking scared to death. i In families where they don t put up any iruit, one or the children is sent j around the corner for canned peaches i wnenever company unexpectedly comes. A bridegroom can get a good deal of credit for helping his wife with the housework, by going out once or twice a week, and upsetting a few things in the kitchen. When a traveling man visits a new town, and finds four or five hotels of the same class, he knows that they are all poor. But if there is only one hotel, he knows that it is a good one, and has driven out the indifferent ones. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. There are tricks in all trades pertain ing to horses. Don't worry about slander; it will rub off when it gets dry. The more a man loafs the more wages he expects when he works. A successful poker player attributes his good fortune to pot-luck. Self-preservation may be nature's first law, but lying is a close second. A wise man knows when to withdraw, but a fool never knows when he is beaten. A non-openable door Is wanted for closets in which family skeletons are stored. Unless a man has confidence in his imagination he should never pose as a theorist. A married man says a thing of beauty ceases to be a joy when his wife wants one like it. It is useless to acquire knowledge un less you have a little common sense with which to season it. What a happy world this would be if his satanical majesty never cared to wander from his own fireside. The map who slowly climbs the lad der to success remains there longer than the one who reaches it via the balloon route. AYHAWKER JOTS. Ahe Daily Iola Register was two years old Wednesday.

Thej Claim the Ordinance Tax ing Them Monthly VIOLATES STATE LAW. In the Past Six Years City Has Received 50,000. And Jointists Will Seek to Re cover by Law. Salina, Oct.27. The charges preferred by Councilman Miller against Marshal Gilbert promise to be but a step toward what is likely to prove one of the big gest and most sensational happenings in the history of the city. It will in volve every member of the city coun cil, the mayor, marshal and city attor ney. It is rumored that each of the 15 jointists, who have been putting up their "long green" to the amount of $54 per month for the purpose of dispens ing "hop tea," now declare that they have been unlawfully fleeced of their money and will bring action against the city and its officials for extracting money without authority of law. They claim the ordinance taxing them $54 per month for running a joint is in direct violation of the state law and are pre paring, it is said on good authority, to redress their grievance by bringing suit against the city and its officials for the amounts they have paid into the city treasury. Most of the men, who were until re cently engaged in the liquor business in Salina, have been here for a number of years, during which time they have paid several thousand dollars in the way of fines. It is estimated the city has in the past six years received near ly $50,000 revenue from the sale of in toxicants. The jointists who willingly paid this money for the privilege of running their business have all along, it said, claimed they did so without authority of law. RECEIVES A POKTTJNE. A French Spoliation Claim Benefits a Former Ottawa Lady. Ottawa, Oct. 2". Friends of Mrs. Day, relict of the late Dr. S. W. Day. of Burroughs street, will be rejoiced to learn that she has recently come into a small fortune, as one of the heirs to a sum of money received through the government under the French spolia tion act. Mrs. Day's share of the mon ies received was not far from $3,000. She is now resident at Minneapolis, Minn. Quite a number of persons in Ottawa are claimants under the above act; Mr. E. W. Dowd is in the line of descent in a family prosecuting a heavy claim and a gentleman connected with this office is of a family that indulges in the pleasing hope of the successful termina tion of proceedings that will net it something over two millions. Proceedings in these cases have been pending for many years; a few years since congress passed the necessary act ordering proved claims paid. It now remains only to get the claims adjudi cated in the court of claims, a proceed ing of some difficulty as the docket is some five years in advance of the court. SUES DEFUNCT BANK. Conspiracy to Defraud Creditors Al leged at Arkansas City. Wichita, Oct. 27. Aconspiracy to de fraud the creditors is charged against the officers of the defunct First Na tional bank of Arkansas City in a suit brought in the federal court here yes terday afternoon by W. A. Leech of Akron, Ohio. Leech wants a new ac counting of the assets of the bank in order that he may recover judgment of $3,810 obtained in the United States court here in March, 1S97.

Deering and others of its stockholders at Arkansas City organized the Bank of Arkansas City, assigning it as their purpose to transfer the property and assume the debts of the defunct bank. Leech, who was a depositor in the First National bank at the time its affairs went into liquidation, failed to receive the amount of his deposit and he now charges that the organization of the Bank of Ar kansas City was a conspiracy on the part of Hartley and Deering to secure the assets for their personal use and defraud a part or all of the creditors of the money due them from the insol vent bank. It is charged by Leech that between $150,000 and $200,000 was realiz ed by the Bank of Arkansas City from the assets of the First National bank. It is said that there are nearly one hundred unpaid judgments against the First National bank and that all other creditors will become parties to the suit brought by Leech before the case comes up for trial.

Washington, Oct. 27. War depart ment officials refuse to make public any of the provisions of the arrangements made by General Bates with the Sultan of Sulu, the southernmost eroup of the Philippines, but state that its main fea tures have been touched upon in the cabled press reports from Manila. The document arrived in Washington about six weeks ago. A cabinet official says General Bates has secured for the Un ited States the valuable services of the whole royal family of Sulu for the com pensation of a good clerk, and provided for the immediate mitigation of the conditions of the slaves and their ulti mate emancipation. Not bring in act ual possession of the Sulu group, Spain has never been able to obtain more than a nominal suzerainty over it. the ability of the United States comman der to effect these things Desides pre serving peace and opening the islands to trade, is regarded as commendable. It is further said that this arrange ment is not permanent and does not prevent different treatment of the is lands in the future, and still further, it has not been approved thus far by the president and may be rejected if it is deemed proper to do so. The arrange ment is regarded as a pure'y military one, fully within the powers of the American commanding officer to draw up, and so it will not be submitted to the senate as would be a treaty, but will be merely transmitted as a matter of information. $2.67 Kansas City and Return Via Rock Island route good for return October 30th.

General Manager Frey and General Superintendent Mudge of the Santa Fe are with President Ripley In Chicago today conferring with the grievance committees of the Brotherhood of Loco motive Engineers and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen. Both the en gineers and firemen are demanding in creased pay for work on the heavier type of engines. The grievance committees came to Topeka some weeks ago, but after be ing in session for a considerable time, adjourned without calling on either Mr. Frey or Mr. Mudge.

Firemen re ceive two cents per mile for 100 miles or less, and from one and one-half to two and one-half cents per mile over that distance. The greatest rate of pay is for work on the heavier engines on the mountain divisions. Within the last year the number of heavy type en gines in service on the Santa Fe proper has been materially increased without particular regard to territory, and the employes are demanding that the rate both for the first hundred miles and the distance over that number be increased for work on the heavy engines.

Interest in the late heavy transaction in United States Leather stock was increased today when the announcement was made in WTall street that a block of 200,000 shares of the common stock had been transferred on the books of the com pany last night to John D. Rockefel ler, jr. The Mail and Kxpress says: "The transfer of this big block of stock makes it certain that the leather common stock is now in the control of the Rockefellers. The outstanding cap ital of the Leather trust is $125,051,800, of which $62,225,900 Is preferred and the remainder common. The voting privi leges of the company are vested in the common stock. "It is estimated that the privileges of control of the common has cost the Standard Oil people between four and five millions. They probably own or have the direction of between 350,000 and 400.000 shares. This has been bought in the open market. The trans actions in the stock on the exchange this week have been over 100,000 shares daily. "Wall street is puzzled to know what attitude the new owners of leather com mon will take toward the plan proposed by the preferred shareholders to aban don the thirtv per cent accumulated dividends on the preferred and reduce their- dividend to six per cent, while the common stockholders as a recipro cal act surrender 50 per cent of their holding to the preferred. "Ahout eiehtv per cent of the pre ferred has indorsed the plan, but no authoritive statement has yet come from Mr. Rockefeller regarding his at titude toward it." HOAXING A BRITISH FLEET tFrom the Westminster Gazette. An amusing story is told of the hoax ing of a British fleet by "a stupid Irishman" during the recent naval maneuvers, it appears tnat aurmg an attack on Bere Island by some of the vessels of the "B" fleet the officer at the Hut received instructions from Castle town coast-guard station to gather up all telegrams and secret plans, send a man away with the same to hide in a cave, and on no account to let them fall into the enemy's hands. Writh the remainder of his crew he was then to show fight until the last. In the mean time an attacking force of eighteen men and an officer had been landed, which marched to the Hut and secured its surrender. All search for the secret tarers. however, proved useless, and the men at the Hut maintained a pro found silence to all interrogations. Dunne the afternoon one of the men of Castletown coast-guard station had been sent to Bere Island with the pay of the men. Upon arrival there he pro ceeded at once to the Hut (having previously disguised himself) and found himself surrounded by the invaders.who wanted to know his business. He posed as an old naval pensioner, stating that he was a native, and was trying, with the help of his small pension, to make a living on the island by cutting and selling turf. He had provided himself with a turf-cutting spade in order to give color to his story. The sailors of the invading party were very sympathetic, and advised him to go to England, where he would be sure of getting work in one of the royal dockyards. After getting the in vaders into a good humor he immed iately went in search of the man with the secret documents in his possession. With the aid of some of the islanders he found the man he was in search of, took from him all the documents, which he hid in two baskets of turf, and re turned to the Hut. This time the sub lieutenant in charge of the invaders took him in hand and closely questioned him with a view to obtain some re liable information regarding the de fenders, but all to no purpose. At last the sub-lieutenant dismissed the man. with the remark that he was the most stupid Irishman that he had ever met. Little did the officer imagine that the supposed stupid Irishman was the very man they wanted, as at the time he had in his possession all the documents the invaders were searching for. During the night the enemy's flotilla left Berehaven, going west, disconnect ing the telephone at the Hut before leaving. Fairbanks In Nebraska. Omaha. Oct. 27. Charles W.

"The great corn states, according to the statistics of last year," writes John Gil mer Speed, in the November Ainslee's, "are in the order named, Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska, Missouri, Kansas, Indiana, Texas and Ohio. Kach of these states grew In excess of 100.000,000 bushels, while the total of Iowa was 254.99a.b50 bushels. This year we are promised from Kansas alone in excess of 350.000,000 bushels. Mon tana, among the new states, grew the smallest amount of corn last year, and Rhode Island among the old states. In Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont. Mas sachusetts, Connecticut, North Dakota. Montana, Wyoming and Washington all of the corn grown was consumed at home gracticaliv none of It being transported eyond the county in which It was pro duced. The other states, according to the amount grown, shipped corn to other parts of the country and abroad. In price the corn on the farms realized all the way from 66 cents a bushel in Montana to 23 cents in Iowa, the general average throughout the country being 28 7-10 cents per bushel. In 1897 this general average was 26 3-10 cents:in 1896 it was 21 5-10 cents, in 1X95 it was 25 3-10 cents and in 1X94 it was 45 7-10 cents. In the latter year (1894) the production was short, being some what more than twenty per cent less than last year. Dyspepsia bane of human existence.

Senator from Illinois Not In Accord With His Party. Chicago, Oct. 27. William E. Mason, junior United States senator from Illi nois, declared today that he would re sign if the Republican national conven tion in 1900 did not declare against "criminal aggression" in the Philip pines. Mr. Mason even went so far as to say he would resign if the convention fa vored offering the Filipinos "canned freedom" as he thought it might do. There must be no evasion on the vital issue of pure and unadulterated free dom, or the senator will step down and out. Then Mr.Mason proposes to stand for a re-eloction to see whether the Illinois general assembly sides with him or with the policy of the McKinley ad ministration. "I have talked the matter over with my wife and a few intimate friends," said Senator Mason. "I will not talk for publication on the policy of our administration in the Philippines until after congress convenes and the ques tion comes before that body. I am op posed to criminal aggression but not to expansion. If it develops that I am not in touch with the people who made me their senator there would be only one thing for me to do resign, and give the Started Fieri Ifcir Hon. John H. Gardner, member Wyom ing State Legislature from Beulah, Crook Co. in letter dated February ao, 1S99, to the Sutherland Sistors says: "According' to agreement made in Salt Lake City, if your preparations proved a benefit to my bald bead, I was to send you a testimonial. There is a fine growth of new hair started. Am not troubled any more with dandruff and that annoying itching of the scalp. I had tried even, thing I could hear of before I saw you, bui. received no benefit. You can use this if vou wish. Please send me half-dozen bottles." We have thousands of testimonials equally as strong. Ail hair and scalo troubles readily succumb to these merit ous preparations. Sold by dealers everywhere. party a chance to select another for the last two years of my term. 'I will serve through the coming ses sion and wait until the national con vention enunciates its platform. It probably will offer the Filipinos canned freedom. If the platform on this issue does not meet my views. I will resign. But I want to serve notice right now however, that I shall be a candidate for re-election." A FATAL WRECK. Electric Car Collides With Freight Train Killing Two and Injuring Many at Detroit. rvetroit, Mich., Oct. 27. Shortly be fore midnight last night Car No. 15 of the Mount Clemens Rapid railway, su burban electric line, was struck by a Michigan Central freight train at the corner of Gariot and Bellevue avenue, killing Conductor Schneider and Injur ing 22 men and women, two of them fatally. The suburban car was filled with the regular theater load bound for Mount Clemens. Between 25 and 30 passengers were thrown violently from their seats as the heavy train threw the car from the track and crushed it against an adjoining building. Conduc tor Schneider was just mounting the rear step and was instantly crushed to death between the car and a telephone pole. The following are the victims: KILLED: TONY SCHNEIDER, conductor, of Mount Clemens. INJURED: Otto Vanderke, Belgium, Mich., cut about hands. Mrs. Joseph Egenelf, Mount Clemens, face cut. Miss Josie Juis, Conners Creek, slightly injured. A. Pipper, Leesville, hand injured. Ed. Bolan, motorman, slightly In jured. John Neiberheiser, Detroit, fatally In jured. Oscar Hollis, Detroit, head and leg bruised. Mrs. E. Richmond, Mount Clemens, slightly injured internally, head cut. James Gardiner, Detroit, head cut. R. M. Eyth, Mount Clemens, leg in jured. Miss Annie Kerns, Mount Clemens, face bruised. Maggie Kerns, Mt. Clemens, shoulder cut open and ear cut, quite seriously. E. J. Mayo, Kalamazoo, leg and hand injured. Fred Miller, Mount Clemens, hand injured. Maud Donaldson, Mount Clemens, hip injured: injured internally. Frank "W. Pruessel, Mount Clemens, back injured. C. P. Kilkline, petroit, slightly in jured. Maud Graham, Mount Clemens, arm injured. Miss Nellie Groves, Mount Clemens, hands injured. Miss Ida Johnson, Mount Clemens, hand injured. Louis Krels, Detroit. C. Obermyer, All Star Bowling team, Toledo Ohio, bruised. Motorman Dowling, who escaped with slight injuries, saw the approach ing train, but the brakes of the heavy trolley car failed to hold on the slippery track. The train was going slowly, as the crossing is a dangerous one and only this saved all the passengers from death. The Rapid Railway car was struck by the locomotive and thrown on its side and almost wholly demolished. The pecuniary damage will be about J5.000. TEDDY IN MARYLAND. SMOKE KLAUER'S GOLD BUG. Governor Roosevelt Bays tho Spanish War Well "Worth, tho Cost Baltimore, Oct. 27 A most enthusias tic multitude assembled in and about Music hall last night to hear Governor Roosevelt, of New York, who closed a most successful tour of the western counties of the state, expounding Re publican principles. Seven thousand persons were massed in the' building when Charles J. Bonaparte arose to in troduce Colonel Roosevelt, and of the several thousands of others who were turned away 3,000 remained to attend the overflow gathering that was held on the plaza in front of the building. The governor addressed both audiences. He asserted that the cam paign in Maryland was being fought on national as well as on state issues, and declared the war with Spain was well worth the cost, since it united the north with the south, the west with the east, under one flag. AT THE PLAY LAST NIGHT. The best feature of the "Uncle Joshua Simpkins" performance at the Craw ford theater last night proved to be the orchestra. Seven men sat below the footlights and dispensed music in a style that is unknown to the majority of the musical contingents of "rural" shows. If the musicians are not the highest salaried people with the com pany, the management is not distribut ing the finances appropriately and with an eye to justice. Some of the members of the company presenting the piece give evidence of being able to do better work if the opoprtunity was given them, but the plot and the lines are almost a proof that authors of rural plays have in their power the commis sion of crime. The audience that saw the performance was not large, but was attentive and appreciative. Miss Irene Duckett received an encore on a "coon" song, and responded with another,-and Mr. Dave Williams did a monologue sketch. The performance will be re peated tonight. It contains a saw mill scene which was so realistic that a wo man, in the balcony almost went into hysterics for fear of the "prodigal son's" life. He was saved just in time to save her from a hysterical condition. No. 60 K. It. of 8. Anniversary. Columbia Council No. 50 K.

HUS. SHORT RESTORED. Officially Declared to Be In Her Bight Mind. Judge Dolman has issued an order in probate court declaring that Mrs. Mars J. Short is restored to her right mind.

Did Little Work Yesterday Owing to a Stiff Neck. New Tork, Oct. 27. James J. Jeffries did less work Thursday than at any time since he took the bandage off his arm. A great part of the day was spent in idleness, sitting or lying about the house. One of Ryan's punches or one of Roeber's grips of yesterday af ternoon had given him a stiff neck and he thought it best not to put on the gloves at all. The customary run was taken in the morning, but the after noon's work was confined to two games of handball, bag punching, rope skip ping and a light tussle with Brother Jack. Tom Sharkey is working hard. He ran six miles in the morning, and spar red in the afternoon. George Dixon is training with Sharkey at Newdorp for his fight with Will Curley. MISS SIMMONS TONIGHT.

Ida Simmons. Her repertoire, besides heavy compositions of the high est order of pianoforte music, and call ing for a rare degree of virtuosity, in cludes the daintiest poetic fancies, sel dom brought to a hearing, and often the gems of the composer.

Manager Patten of the Tipeka City railway testified in the Wichita Street railway case this week. The Eagle says of Mr. Patten's testimony: "One of the principal things ascer tained In the trial of the injunction suit yesterday was the great problem of how to stop the awful noise made by the cars as they are dragged over the lines in this city. It required an expert to figure this out, and if noth ing better comes of the case, perhaps the long sought information will be worth the cost of the suit. Mr. Joseph Patten, manager of the Topeka street railway, and one of the expert wit nesses in the injunction suit now on trial, said in his testimony yesterday that the noises made by the street cars was due to the steel pinions running against the gearing in the electrical construction of the motor underneath the car. He said this noise could be stopped by replacing these steel pin ions with the rawhide pinions, which could be done easily and with very lit tle expense. The steel pinions cost $2.50 each, while the rawhide pinions cost about 16 each, a mere trifle in the ex pense of a good street railway system, such as Wichita is entitled to. "Mr. Patten was on the stand nearly all of the afternoon, rendering expert 1 testimony as to the condition of the system, the probable worth of it as it is, and the probable cost of repairing the line so as to give the city a first- j class and up-to-date service. He said 1 he had been in the street railway busi- j ness for thirty years, and went from Boston to Topeka in 1SS8, where he has i been ever since as general manager and receiver of the Topeka street railway. In his time he has examined and in voiced many roads, among them being that at Kansas City, St. Joseph, Leav enworth, Atchison, Topeka. Omaha. St. Paul, Minneapolis, Syracuse, Boston, etc. Most of these he had examined merely to educate himself 0:1 the new developments in street railway work. He had also appraised street car prop erties in many places, and had invoiced six different roads, so it was considered that Mr. Patten is pretty well qualified to testify on matters for which he was placed on the stand." FIRST FIGHT. In the Latest Illinois Coal Min ers' Strike. Decatur, III., Oct. 27 The first bloody fight of the coal miners' strike which was declared seven weeks ago occurred here today. Two union men were shot, one probably fatally. As four non-union men accompanied by a guard of twelve policemen and six deputy sheriffs were about to enter the shaft today they were ac costed by five union miners who asked them to stay out. One of the four non union men for answer made a motion as if to strike a union man with a club. Instantly there was a fight. Two shots were fired. Fred Dongowshi, a striker, was wounded, probably fatally. Chas. Maurits, another striker, received a bullet in the arm. Marion Mays, a non union man, who is said to have fired the shots, was arrested. There is much excitement and it is feared the strikers may revenge them selves. SEPTEMBER WEATHER. The following is the summary for the month of September as issued by the United States department of agricul ture: The first seven days of the month were decidedly warm, during which the highest temperatures of the month were reached, a cool wave then swept over the state, reducing the tempera ture below normal and, in the eastern half of the state, the temperature, with occasional exceptions, remained below the normal. The mean temperature for the state is 0.3 below the September normal. The mean temperature is above normal in Cheyenne, Rawlins, Decatur, Sherman, Wallace, and Gree ley, extending southeastward to and through Meade, Clark, Comanche, and Barber; it is also above the normal in Republic, Washington, and Cloud, ex tending thence southeastward to Mor ris and Wabaunsee. Over the rest of the state it is below normal. There is an excess of 2 degrees extending from Cheyenne southeastward into Ness, while a deficiency of 2 degrees and up ward appears in the eastern, extreme northeastern and southeastern counties of the state. Maximum temperatures of 100 de crees and over were frequent during the first week. A killing frost occurred in the extreme northwest on the 17th, in Smith on the 20th, in Marshall and Doniphan on the 26th, in Phillips on the 2Sth, and in the northeastern counties on the 29th, the first of the season. The warmest September during our 13 years' record occurred in 1S97 with a mean of 74.0 degrees, and the coolest in 1890 with an average of 65.4 degrees. The precipitation averages 0.53 inch below the normal for September. Six of the preceding Septembers, beginning with 1S87, have given the state more, and six less rain than the current month. The greatest September rain fall, 3.85 inches, occurred in 1898, and the least, 0.72 inch, in 1888. The rain fall this month Is two inches and up wards from Clark, Barber, and Harper northeastward to Jefferson and Leav enworth, with two areas of four inches the first covering the northern part of Harper and southern part of King man, the southern half of Sedgwick and northwestern part of Cowley; the second extending from the northeast part of Chase and southeast part of Morris across the central part of Lyon. The rainfall for the current month is above normal in the three southern tiers of counties from the Colorado line to Cowley, Elk, and Greenwood, ex tending north into Saline, Morris, and Lyon. The greatest excess. 2.08, occurs at Wichita, the greatest deficiency, 2.93, at Independence. The Weather. The rain that commenced Wednesday morning has so far resulted in a pre cipitation of nearly three-quarters of an inch. Just 73-hundredths. The fore cast is for "Partly cloudy weather to night and Saturday, with showers in southeast portion tonight." It is hoped and very likely that this bad weather will be over before the reception. But rain or shine the reception in all its glory will be held. A State of Siege. Barcelona, Oct. 27. A state of siege has been proclaimed in this province. Statue of Christ Falls. Boston, Oct. 27.

The Chicago Tribune, editorially, says of Funston and the politicians: "Gen. Funston is delightfully frank. He says he is getting tired of the 'ab surd claims made by certain politicians of Kansas' who have written to him telling him it was through their influ ence that he or his regiment has been helped along on the path to fame. The general says furiously that these poli ticians did nothing of the sort. Of course they did not, but Gen. Funston should be more philosophical and laugh at the politicians who are trying to get hold of him and exploit him. "His experience is that of many oth ers. No sooner does a man achieve military glory in this country, where it is the custom to reward 'heroes' by electing them to office, than state or national politicians surround him. Each one of them whispers in the ear of the 'hero' that he it was who gave him a chance to be famous, who insisted on his promotion, and who stood by him when others were trying to pull him down. Probably not one of them ever did anything for him in reality. "If the politicians who have been writing to Gen. Funston had known that he was going back to the Philip pines, that his stay in Kansas will be so brief that he cannot be utilized for any political purpose, it is more than pro bable he would not have received so many letters as he has. Politicians do not waste paper, postage, and assur ances of friendship on soldiers who will not be candidates for office, or will not exert their influence in favor of the candidates those politicians are work ing for. "If Gen. Funston ever meets Admiral Dewey he should compare notes with him. He would find that the admiral learned with surprise after he became famous what a number of unknown friends he had, who had been looking after his interests while he was away. Every American who wins glory must take it for granted that the endear ments of politicians will be lavished on him. They will try to wheedle and 'honey fugle' him. It is useless to get angry when this happens. Civil indef ference is the best attitude to assume toward these gushing politicians." THE BANKERS PROTEST. Insist That the Express Companies Shall Pay Equal War Tax With Them. Washington, Oct. 27. A committee appointed at the recent National Bank ers' convention headed by F. W. Hayes, of Detroit, is here to obtain, if possible, a reversal of the opinion rendered by the commissioner of internal revenue, holding that express companies selling domestic and foreign exchange are not compelled to pay the $50 annual war tax exacted of bankers dealing in such pa per. The bankers say this decision oper ates to their disadvantage and is a dis crimination against them by the gov ernment. A hearing on the subject was originally set for October 20th. but as Secretary Gage was absent from the city that day the hearing was postponed until October 27. Last night when the committee met it learned that the commissioner had decided the matter on the first named date in favor of the express companies. The bankers will in sist on being heard today and if re fused, will test the matter in the courts. ASK FOR PEACE. Tammany Meeting Desires the U. S. To Intercede In the Transvaal New York, Oct. 27.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 27, 1899. 7 THE IMPERIAL X X X X X Wonders why "Cap" Curtis of kicking machine fame does not invent an INFLATING machine for clothing merchants to blow up their values. THE PEN BRAIN AND MOUTH Inflation has surely reached its limit when advertisers torture you with $3.50 Pants for $1.90; $3.00 Hats for $1.95; $2.00 Underwear for 51.23; $t2.502Suits for $8.75; $15.00 Overcoats for $9.75, and a display of similar nonsense every day in the year when they advertise. IF THE CELEBRATED "CAP" Will only produce a machine that will fclow Men's $5.00 Suits up to about $13.00 so they can be reduced and placed on sale for "one day only" at $4.98. IF OUR GENIAL MR. CURTIS Will only invent a machine that will in the twinkling of an eye inflate a pair of Boys' 50c Knee Pants up to about $2.75 so they may be reduced (on paper) for "tomorrow only" 49c IF THIS MASTER. GENIUS "Will supply a machine that without danger of explosion on Friday and Sunday of each week will inflate a whole clothing stock ready for "Saturday Specials" and "Monday Specials," the margin of price on merchandise will be so beautifully shaded that the wind only merchant will surely hail the inventor with delight. THE IMPERIAL Does not think at present writing that we will care to use one of these machines, as we always sell 25c goods for 25c; $1.00 articles for $1.00; $5.00 Suits for $5.00; $10.00 Overcoats for $10.00, and the people seem to like our way of doing business. 'N x SECURITY BUILDING. GOY.STASLEY TO BUCKEYES First Speech In Ohio Campaign Made Last Night. In his speech at Kenton. O., last night Governor Stanley of Kansas quoted volumes from the writing and speeches of Polk, Jefferson and other Democratic leaders to prove that the theory of ex pansion, which is now being opposed by the Democratic party, was in years gone by the cardinal principle of that organization. The governor pronounc ed the trusts a menace to the govern ment of the United States and proved to his own satisfaction that the Demo crats failed to enforce Republican anti trust laws and have permitted these octopi to secure a firm grip on the throats of the American people. The governor complimented the warriors of the Spanish conflict, which were sent from the United States to suppress the oppression of the yellow flag and lauded the theories of Republicanism, calling upon all lovers of good government to rally under the Republican banner and win a decisive victory. The governor's advice to the young men of the century is this: "This battle is not a new one. It is the old, old contest between the radical and conservative forces of society, the one going out for new conquests, new developments, new achievements, new victories; the other, opposing every at temnt to advance and clogging the wheels of progress at every turn. These I Ions, Poictiers. They struggled in Switzerland centuries ago until the vic tory of the radical element gave to the world its first permanent republic. They met in awful clash in Russia, un til radical victory resulted in the liber ation of the serfs. The contended at Saratoga, Bunker Hill and Yorktown, until the radical forces gave to the world a republic founded upon the fundamental doctrine that all men are created equal. They struggled for hu man rights in this country until radi cal triumph gave liberty to a race of slaves. Along the world's history, ev ery progress, every expansion, every de velopment, every achievement that has resulted in the bettering of human ity and the elevation of the race, has been won by the radical forces of so ciety against society's conservative in fluences. "The Antis are not new. They have been elements in all times, in all ages, and in all countries opposing every thing that was good. There have been Antis in religion, Antis in society, Antis in commerce, and Antis in poli tics. The world has many Antis yet. We have them in this country and in this contest. "Young man, don't be an 'anti.' Have a. higher purpose than to be an obstruc tionist. Be for something. In the great march for civilization find your place somewhere in the column and keep step with the music of advance ment. The conservative forces of so ciety never advanced a cause, nor broke a shackle, nor won a battle, nor shouted a pean of victory. "Join the radical element of society and do something for the race. The radical forces under Luther started in Germany the mightiest religious refor mation in the history of the world. They followed Cromwell in England for the dethronement of a tyrant king, that the people might have larger liberty. They stood with Leonidas at Thermo pylae and went to defeat and destruc tion, that all who came after them might have the inspiring influence of their example. They rallied around Warren at Bunker Hill, followed Wash ington with bleeding feet at Valley Forge and compelled the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown. They un furled the flag of freedom on the ram parts of victory in this country more than a century ago, and under the shadow of its folds have been singing the songs of patriotism ever since. "They fought with Hooker above the clouds on Lookout's bloody summit. They sang a song of victory on the na tion's birthday with Grant at Vicks burg and Meade at Gettysburg. They marched without a leader up the burn ing, blazing slopes of Mission Ridge to plant the stars and stripes upon its crest. Behind the frowning prison walls of Andersonville they died living, and living died, for a cause that each loved better than his life. "At Appomattox they received the surrender which marked the downfall of armed opposition to popular free government. They struck the manacles from the limbs of a race, made men of chattels, and put upon the brow of the Blave the crown of citizenship At Ma nila they raised high honor's shaft and on the very top placed an unfading wreath to the brave Dewey and his heroic men. They shouted the song of the Rough Riders with Roosevelt in Cuba, penetrated jungles and swam rivers with Funston in the Philippines They established the authority of this government in Luzon, and as a symbol of that authority have unfurled the stars and stripes above Manila, and to day the radical forces in Ohio have Joined the vast millions of the radical .IA1SHAL 703 forces throughout the length and breadth of the land, and have resolved that where that flag is planted there it shall stay forever." MEDALS AWARDED To Members of the Naval Service For Meritorious Conduct. Washington, Oct. 27. Brigadier Gen eral Charles Heywood, commanding the United States marine corps has submitted his annual report to the sec retary of the navy. He states that the condition of the corps is satisfactory except for a lack of officers. The op portunity that has been offered for en listed men to obtain commissions has had a stimulating effect on the per sonnel of the corps and a number of such appointments are noted. It is an interesting fact also that the physical requirements for recruits have been changed, making an additional increase in the maximum height. The recruiting officers have been hampered somewhat by lack of funds, but the work is beings prosecuted at seven stations. During the Spanish war and on other occasions during the past year the men of the marine corps have rendered service calling for especial commenda tion and a number of these cases are mentioned by Gen. Heywood. For services during the fighting ashore at Apia, Samoa, in April, 1899, Sergeant Michael McNally. Bruno For rester and Private Henry Hulbert were personally mentioned by Lieut. Perkins and the thanks of the secretary of the navy were conveyed to them. Medals of honor were awarded to twelve men of the Nashville and Mar blehead for their gallantry In the cable cutting off Cienfuegos during the war. Medals were also awarded to Sergeant John H. Quick. Corporal Harry McXeal of the Brooklyn and Corporal J. E. Cooper of the Brooklyn, for gal lant and meritorious services. NAMES GO ON. Greenwood County Republicans to Be Represented on Official Ballot. The chairman and secretary of the county Republican convention of Green wood county and the candidates named by the convention, neglected to file the nomination papers with the county clerk before the time prescribed by law expired. As a result the Populists and fusionists were encouraged believing that the Republicans could not get a place on the official ballot, leaving the opposition a clear field. The Republicans took the case to the supreme court which today ordered the county clerk to place the names of the Republican candidates on the official ballot. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS. Martha J.

Matter ia Discussed by Santa Fe Of ficials. "The engine and train men of the Gulf, Colorado Santa Fe, who are de manding the abolishment of the "double header" system are working directly against their own interests," said a prominent Santa Fe official in this city today. As I understand it, the men are commencing to realize this, and there will probably be no more trouble over the running of double headers on that line. "Suppose the men made their case sufficiently strong to cause the company to abolish the double header system; there could be but one result. The present locomotive equipment of the Gulf road is practically all of a light type, and there are several heavy grades from Purcell to Galveston. The company could not afford to run freight train as light as to be handled by one small engine, and within a very short time monster locomotives would begin to make their appearance on the Gulf road. Then the employes would be brought to a sorrowful realization of what they had done. Half the engine men would lose their jobs, and a large percentage of the trainmen, because the heavy engines could pull a much heavier train than two of the smaller engines. "Of course the employes make danger a feature of their argument on the double header question, but there is practically no more danger to engine and train men running with double headers than there is with single en gines. Railroad statistics show that only a very small percentage of acci dents can be charged to double head ers. Double headers were formerly common on the Santa Fe road proper, and are now run to some extent on the New Mexico division, "out the in troduction of heavier locomotives dur ing the past few years has done away with the necessity of running them generally. Eventually, heavier locomotive equipment will be introduced on the Gulf road, but the men had bet ter 'make hay while the sun shines.' and let the double header matter drop." HELEN GOULD LEADS In the Fight Against Roberts, With a Subscription of 6,000. New York, Oct. 27. Miss Helen Mil ler Gould has given $6,000 to the League for Social Service, to be used in a cru sade against Mormonism. The league has issued one million pamphlets in pursuance of Miss Gould's directions. They are aimed directly at Mormonism and Brigham H. Roberts, as congress man, and will be distributed all over the country. When they are exhausted millions more will follow them. The pamphlets and blank petitions will be sent to 50,000 clergymen and to hun dreds of clubs and societies. These to gether with a varied assortment of other printed matter, are expected to enlist the co-operation and financial support of people of all classes through out the country. Clergymen will be asked to preach on the subject of Mormon practices and also to take up collection for use in the crusade against them. As fast as the blank petitions are filled in they are to be returned to the league in New York. Only the names of qualified voters will be solicited for the petitions and in stead of presenting the names in t. sin gle list there will be a separate petition for each congressional distiict. When they are received by the league they will be presented to the respective con gressmen of the districts. Grocers and Butchers Meeting. A meeting of the Grocers and Butch ers will be held this evening at Weber's hall. Business of importance to every grocer and butcher in the city will come up for consideration, and a full attend ance is desired. The various commit tees will give a report of what they have done up to the present time and considerable new business will be brought up. The time is short now until the time of giving the banquet and many little things are coming up every day which need the attention and consideration of the grocers and butch ers. The banquet to the Twentieth Kansas is one of the main features in the celebration to be given in their honor, aria it is important that nothing be overlooked in the arrangements. The meeting tonight will be called to order at promptly 8 o'clock. KANSAS CITY AND RETURN $2.67 Via the Santa Fe. on sale from October 22 to October 28, returning good until October 30.

The announcement was received with heartfelt expressions of regret from Secretary Root. Adjutant General Corbin and other officials as well as from the rank and file about the war department, for Gen. Henry was a well known fighter and universally esteemdd Gen. Henry's' death has the effect of leaving vacant the department of the Missouri to which he was recently ap pointed. It has the further important effect of creating another vacancy in the grade of brigadier general in the regular army, Gen. Henry standing fourth on the list. LAVTON'S ADVANCE.

Leary was sent out as governor to take pos session of the island. There are no details of the occur rence. It appears Lieut.

WHEAT Nearly everything favored the bear side in wheat today and the market was a weak one from the start. Argentine shipments during the week were heavv amounting to 1.532,010 bushels and the indications were that the domes tic visible would increase more than 2, 000. 000 bushels. In addition there were further rains throughout the winter wheat belt sufficient to put an end to all drouth complaints. The situation in South Africa was also more reassuring. Selling- pressure was light, but sufficient to force a gradual decline, as Hie market received little support. Complains of damage by Hessian ny throughout Mich igan were ignored by the bulls. Decem ber opened Vs'ic lower at 70ti7W4c and declined to 70Vc. Chicago received 128 cars, one of which graded contract, Min neapolis and Duluth got 643 cars compare ed with 1.0S3 for the same day a year ago. Cash demand slack. CORN" was conspicuously strong and ac tive. Disappointing yields, moderate re ceipts, higher cables and wet weather encouraged general buying under which the market scored a substantial gain. Profit taking checked the advance. Re ceipts 402 cars. December opened a shade higher at 32c32Ic, advanced to 32&C and reacted to 31Tfi32c. Oats ruled dull but steady in sympathy with corn. Receipts 205 cars. December ranged between 2'2'a22ic. PROVISIONS Lower prices for hogs and a better cash meat demand handi capped provisions but the market held steady owing to the advance in corn. January pork ruled a shade lower at $9.55 iJU.ST'. January lard a shade higher at $5.37''c5.40 and January ribs a shade lower at $4.95. RYE December 55e: May 56c. BARLEY Cash 3J4r-4e.

Foreign houses have scattering orders, but will probably take 5,000 shares on bal ance. The anticipation of an unfavorable bank statement may lead to a little fur ther reaction in prices but the question for you to answer satisfactorily to your self is whether it is worth your while taking the chance of losing long stocks, which surely will show big profits in the near future for the sake of making a lit tle turn on the short side of the market which in our judgment will not average one point for the entire list including ail issues. We insist that the low priced stocks will do to take hold of. The action of Burlington shows that it is being tak en by strong interests. There is no reason why Burlington should not sell at 150.

C. T. U. LOBBY To Be Maintained at Washington to Fight Roberts. Seattle, Wash., Oct. 27. Unless some thing unforeseen should prevent it, the r.ext national convention ol the Wo men's Christian Temperance union will he held in Washington. D. C. A senti ment practically in favor of that city exists in the executive committee of the national union to which body the convention delegated the duty of fixing a place and time for the convention of 1900. The matter finally rests, however, with the president, Mrs. L. M. Stevens, and the other general officers. This done there are certain arrangements re garding entertainment to be made be fore the matter is settled. The executive committee transacted Trobably more important business at its meeting yesterday than it has at any previous meeting here. It was decided among other things to maintain an active lobby at Washing ton this winter in order to prevent the seating, if possible, of Congressman Brigham H. Roberts of Utah. Mrs. F. t. Ellis, of New Jersey, is the regular lobbyist at the national capital. The matter will be placed in her charge, the general officers of the national un ion assisting in every way and furnish ing powder, so to speak, for her guns. It was also decided that a number of prominent W. C. T. U. leaders should assemble at Washington, during the cession of congress, to aid Mrs. Ellis in Iier work. The matter of extension of the or ganization and its anti-liquor work in CJuba, Porto Rico and Hawaii was brought up by President Stevens. It was decided that steps should be im mediately taken by the general officers to effect an organization in Cuba, Porto Crippled by Rheumatism. Those 'who have Rheumatism find themselves growing steadily worse all the while.

A committee representing the Women's National In dustrial and Patriotic league and the Washington Industrial League called upon Rear Admiral Schley last night and informed him that the league had decided and was ready to undertake the task of procuring by popular sub scription a home for hid! here at the capital. The admiral thanked the ladies of the committee and again informed them that he left the matter in their hands, saying that anything they might do would be acceptable. The National League has about 22 branch organizations throughout the country. Mrs. Charlotte Smith, as chairman of the national committee, informed the admiral that all plans preparatory to going on with the work had been perfected and as he had ac cepted the offer of the Industrial wo men, the plans would be put into active operation. "WITHOUT AS ERROR. Message of 1500 Words Telegraphed Without Wires. New York, Oct. 27. The navy depart ment on Thursday began a series of ex periments with the Marconi system of wireless telegraphy with the object of determining its practicability for gen eral use for naval purposes on sea and land. The experiments will extend over a period of several days. The cruiser New York. Admiral Far quhar's flagship and the battleship Massachusetts have been designated for use in the experiments and have been equipped with the new telegraph apparatus of Signor Marconi. The par ticular object of the tests was to de termine the practicability of using the system for short signalling while squadrons are at sea. Marconi's system if it does all that is claimed, would be of immense advantage in this work. The afternoon experiments consisted of six tests. The first test was sending of the contents of a newspaper article of about 1.500 words. This was sent and received without a single error, at the rate of eleven words a minute. The second test was the sending of a series of numbers of varying lengths which were ticked off with a little more rapidity than the previous message. Test No. 3 was the sending of a series of letters written and drawn at ran dom. The fourth test was the sending of a series of short messages. The fifth and sixth tests were the transmitting of a series of code messages. These were enough to tax the skill and pa tience of the operators, the words having united no sense or meaning. There were one or two errors discovered in these tests. WHAT VICTORIA SAID. On the Occasion of the Prorogation of Parliament. London, Oct. 27. The queen's speech at the prorogation of parliament today was as follows: My Lords and Gentlemen: I am happy to be able to release you of the exceptional duties which have been im posed upon you by the exigencies of public service. I congratulate you on the brilliant qualities which have been displayed by the brave regiments upon, whom the task of repelling the invasion of my South African colonies has been. laid. In doing so, I can not but express my profound sorrow that so many gallant officers and soldiers should have fallen in the performance of their duty. Gentlemen of tne House of Commons: I acknowledge with gratitude the liberal provisions you have made to repay the expenses of the military operations in South Africa, My Lords and Gentlemen: I trust that the Divine blessing may rest upon your -efforts and those of my gallant army to restore peace and good govern ment to that portion of my empire and .to vindicate the honor ot thia country. 5 P0LICY0F ROOT. Secretary of War Asks Con gress to Pass a Law To Increase the Present Army to 100,000 Men. ADMINISTRATION IDEA Proposed That the Grade General Be Created. of In Imitation of the Imperial Armies of Europe. Washington, Oct, 27. The following special dispatch from this city appear ed in the Baltimore Sun: In his first annual report to the presi dent, which has been completed and sent to the printer. Secretary Root makes more than usual important rec ommendations in regard to the new army, but it is understood he defers detailed recommendations for material changes and reforms in organization until congress meets, when he will com municate his views in letters to the chairmen of the two military commit tees. There Is little doubt that a large standing army will be urgently recom mended, and congress will be asked to raise the regular military establish ment to at least 100,000 men. If this is done the regiments now enlisted could be tranferred to the permanent estab lishment, and the army would be at once a well equipped and well drilled solid organization, whereas if an in crease is postponed until after 1901 the new army would have to be raised by enlistments. TO CREATE NEW OFFICES. There is a rumor about the war de partment that the secretary has adopt ed the recommendation made by Gen. Miles last session favoring the revival of the grade of general and the crea tion of two places, each of the grade of lieutenant general. An important feature of the report, and one which has permanent value, is the statistical portion. This is embraced in seven tabular statements relating to the strength of the army at different times during the year, together with much information on the casualties of the army during the war. The probability of the grade of lieu tenant general being revived is strong er than last year, when the proposition was opposed by the administration, which was then most unfriendly to Gen. Miles. Since Secretary Alger's resignation, however, the authority and position of the general have been in some measure restored, and his ad vice and influence are now considered. Gen. Miles would naturally be the lieu tenant general should the bill pass, and in the eventThat the grade of general is revived would succeed to that rank. BUFF1NGTON CRITICISED. The army ordnance bureau is much criticised on account of the policy of tis head, Gen. Burlington, in refusing army officers and others an insight into the experiments under its direction. Gen. Buffington goes on the theory that it is no business of any one what the ex periments consist of, or what their val ue may be until they have been adopted for the service. He does not intend to let any one, even those interested in the inventions, have any knowledge of what is being done to develop certain lines of ordnance work. The result has been to make the bureau unpopular, and to provoke dissatisfaction on the part of those wishing to have inven tions tested. Recently an order was issued prohib iting persons outside of the government service from witnessing experiments and tests conducted at Sandy Hook and other ordnance stations, but so greatly were the inventors aroused that this order has been revoked by Secre tary Root. The important work of powder investigation is being actively pursued, but what results have been obtained no one outside of Gen. Buf fington and the other officers under his direction seem to know. It is al leged, however, that the army is far be hind the navy in this particular branch and has wasted years in experimental work with apparently very little profit to the service. ORDNANCE FACTORIES, Gen. Buffington has recently returned from an important tour of inspection of ordnance factories in the east, to learn their capacities for supplying ammuni tion, especially of the small-arm vari ety. He found the plants were capable of supplying the government with am munition in quantities far in excess of the demand. In discussing the marvel ous growth of these factories, as a re sult practically of the demands made on them by the war with Spain, Gen. Buffington said that all the factories were now in the finest possible condi tion, and all the inspecting officers ef ficient and hard working. A new factory.he said.had been open ed at Frankford, where the small cart ridges are manufactured now at the rate of 30,000 a day, but the factories, he said, were capable of turning out 160.000 a day. The gun factory at Wa tervliet was now completed and in fine working order. At Watertown he found an extensive plant for the manufacture of sea coast gun carriages, and at all other places visited he learned that the facilities for supplying the army with every variety of ordnance were increas ing every month.

The sailor reluctantly cut out hia long; Jaunts over the Staten island hills and has replaced them with gentle walks along the shore road. Tom Mc Grath, Sharkey's chief trainer, is keep ing a close watch on the sailor's work in O'Rourke's absence to prevent him from taking unnecessary exercise. Sharkey is confident of winning the championship. He believes he will de feat the Californian before the limit. When shown a prediction made by Nib lo, the palmist, in which he favored Jeffries' chances of victory, Sharkey smiled at the statement. SHARKEY DOUBTS THE PALMIST. "Well, I guess that fellow will have to change his report after November 3," he said. "What does he know about me? I never saw him and he knows nothing about what I am capable of do ing. It makes no difference what pro fessors or experts say, I will win any way. In all my previous fights I have been marked as a sure loser, but al .ways have returned the winner." MEDICS VS. NEBRASKA. Will Play Saturday at Kansas City Are Evenly Matched. Kansas City, Oct. 27. The gridiron followers will be out in full force Sat urday afternoon at Exposition park for the first really big game of the season. It will be the occasion of the annual meeting of the Kansas City University Medical college with the Nebraska state university eleven and a good game is expected. Both teams are put ting in hard licks preparing themselves for the game and both will try hard to win. Coach Morris, of the Medics, is get ting his men into fine trim and expects them to put up the strongest kind of a game. This will be one of the recog nized big games of the season, being second to one only, viz., the Kansas and Missouri Thanksgiving day game and a first class exhibition may be expected. Past events show that the two teams are very evenly matched as upon their former meeting, which was in Lincoln one week ago. they played a tie game, the score being 6 to 6 at the end of play. The Medics will have a shade the advantage of their Nebraska rivals this time as they will have their opponents on a foreign ground and before a crowd of foreign rooters.

From the present outlook the game Saturday will be the hardest fought contest that is scheduled for Kansas City this season. Johnson, the old fullback from the University of California, has agreed to play with the Medics and will, with Heller and Morly, make a set of backs that cannot be beaten by any team in the state. This will be the last game in Kansas City until the Medics return from their western trip. They leave for Denver on November 2, when they will meet the Denver Athletic club on November 4. On November 7 they play the Uni versity of Colorado at Colorado Springs and then go to Butte City, Mont., to play the Athletic club at that city on November 11. The next game in Kan sas City will be on the afternoon of November 18. The following will be the Medics' line up: Baum, center; Hysong, right guard; Ewing, right tackle; Lewis, right end: Hill, left guard; Grady, left tackle; Pcorman, left end; Wyatt, quarterback: JVlorley, right halfback; Heller (captain), left halfback; John son, fullback. YALE IN FORM. Keane, Wear, Adams and Ordway Again In the Game. New Haven, Conn., Oct. 27. With careful forethought, the manager of the Yale football eleven aranged the schedule this year so that Yale should work by degrees up to the big contests with Harvard and Princeton. None of the midweek practice games are hard, and the eleven gets out of each just the kind of work that is necessary to keep the players in condition, and de velop their improvement. The hardest game that Yale has had has been with the University of Wis consin, and the Yale eleven came out of it in signally good condition. There is no record of a contest this season where the players received less injury. There is a great deal of speculation at Yale as to the actual strength of the Columbia eleven and not a few of the players believe that they may count upon as hard a game as that which Wisconsin played against them. Of course, Columbia has no fullback like O'Dea, but it seems to have a rush line that will be able to keep the sons of Eli busy enough. The return of several of Yale's cripples and conditioned play ers has gladdened the hearts of coaches. Keane, Wear, Adams and Ordway.who have been laid up for many days, have resumed playing, and Coy, who has been kept on the side line by the facul ty, is again in uniform, and on the 'Varsity for the first time this year. He will probably play in the game with Columbia on Saturday. Some new coaches were present, Louis Hinkey, end rush two years ago; Laurie T. Bliss, the former halfback, and "Alex" Marvin, substitute fullback last year. Aside from Sharpe's goal, the only scoring was the touchdown by Ordway, after a forty-yard run, on a fumble.

CHICAGO LOSES SCHAEFER. Billiard "Wizard" Sacure an Interest In Ives Academy. New York, Oct 27. Jake Schaefer, the well known billiardist, will be a New Yorker henceforth. A deal was consummated today which means that Chicago will lose her "wizard." Schaefer has entered into a partnership which gives him a half interest in the acad emy hitherto known as Ives' academy. In future it will be run under Schaef er's name. The "wizard" practiced again today for his match at cushion caroms with George Slosson, which begins t the Madison Square garden concert hall next Monday night. In the afternoon he defeated Tom Gallagher in a 200 point game, averaging 6 26-29. At night he beat Morningstar in a 200 point game, with an average of 5 10-S8. Slosson ended his match with Mc Laughlin last night. His grand total was 1.200 to McLaughlin's 783. Mc Laughlin was to have made 840. Slos son's grand average was 6. BREAKS WORLD'S RECORD. Frince Alert Faced a Mile In 2:06 on Half Mile Track. Bethlehem, Pa., Oct. 27. The world's pacing record for a half mile track was beaten twice by Prince Alert here Thursday in the concluding event of the Pennsylvania Fair association's fall meeting. The weather was fine, the track fairly good, and with comparati'e ease Prince Alert paced the first mile in 2:0614, pushed out by Democracy.and the third heat in 2:06 flat, Mari being on his heels at the finish. In the second heat Prince Alert broke soon after the start and Democracy, losing his hob bles, Mari had his own way until the last quarter, which Prince Alert step ped in 30 seconds and won by a length in 2:1214. The best previous record over a half mile track was 2:06, which was established by Prince Alert at Allen town, Pa., on September 22 last. Idle Steel Mill to Start. Troy, N. Y., Oct, 27.

The capacity of the works is 700 tons of basic bessemer steel a day, which at market rates would mean an annual profit of more than $2,000,000.
