la LAST .EDITION THURSDAY EVENING. TOPEKA, KANSAS, NOVEMBER 23, 1899. THURSDAY EVENING. TWO CENTS. STAYED BY HISJENGINE. Engineer on the R. 0. Stuck to His Post Daring a Collision and Checked Its Speed. SATED PASSENGERS. Is Seriously Injured Himself and Slay Die. Rear Sleeper Was Wrecked and Burned. Cumberland, Md., Nov. 23. The sec ond section of Baltimore Ohio passen ger train No. 9, west bound, known as the "oyster train," crashed into the first section In South Cumberland early this morning and was badly wrecked. Kngineer L. ,R. Kindle of Baltimore stuck to his post on the second section, checked its speed and prevented the tel escoping of the passenger section. He w as seriously injured and may die. His fireman, Lewis Massey, of Baltimore, was terrible scalded and died in the hospital here. No one else was danger ously hurt. The rear sleeper of the passenger sec tion was wrecked and burned. The accident occurred shortly after 1 o'clock in the morning and it is thought It was caused by the failure of the flag man on the passenger section to go far enough back when the train stopped at a switch. The passengers in the Pull man car which was on the rear end were badly shaken up and several were slightly cut by flying splinters and bro ken glass. Conductor Green and Por ter S. Eels of the passenger train and Mail Clerk Reagen were also slightly injured. RIDES 31 ANY HORSES. Taylor Riddle Stepped Over Bounds ia Denying State Journal Interview. Taylor Riddle, chairman of the Populist ptatocommitteein opposition to the wishes of the leaders of his party, is guilty of attempting to evade the truth of an in terview in which he declared for John Kreidenthal for governor. This Interview was published in the State Journal and its publication was ap proved by Mr. Kiddle. He authorized it publication and afterwards told M r. Breidenthul that he meant every word of it. The statements made for publication by Mr. Riddle do not correspond with his pri vate utterances and this fact lias gotten the chairman into trouble. Mr. Riddle went to the office of A. M. Hurvev just a few days before the inter view was published and without solicita tion informed the ex-lieutenant governor that he was the choice of the chairman for governor. Practically the same assurances have been made to George M. Muntrer and "Webb McXall who are also in the race. Needless to sav the Journal's publica tion of Mr. Riddle's views to the effect that Breidenthul is the "man to nom inate" caused some commotion in the Populist camp and Riddle was ask 'd to explain at the Populist conference Tues day night, and as usual with politicians, denied its authenticity and charged the Journal with changing the "copy." of the statement which he had prepared. Mr. Riddle told friends of the candi dates for governor, so they say. that he prepared the statement and in expressing the opinion as to the right "man to nom inate" said "either Munger. McNall. Preid enthal or Harvey.' There is truth in the statement that Riddle prepares things for publication, but it is not true that he prepared the interview which has gotten him into trouble. Mr. Riddle was sunning himself in the large front window of the National hotel when a Journal reporter engaged in conversation with him. Mr. Riddle, be ing asked his opinion of the political sit uation volunteered the information, with out hesitancy that his preference was Rreidenthal. He not only made the state ment freely but reiterated it at length ami explained Mr. Breidenthul' s n uali Jica t ions atari confided to the reporter the fact that "Breidenthul is the most com petent man who has been talked of." Mr. Riddle did not mention the name of a not her candidate for governor he did not write a single word of the interview; he talked and the reporter did the rest. Mr. Riddle's exact language was repro duced by t he Journal reporter and it is unbecoming Mr. Riddle's high position to take advantage of a newspaper man to get himself out of trouble. MAJOR HOWARD'S EODT. Arrives From Manila on the Belgian King. San Francisco, Nov. 23. On board the transport Belgian King just arrived from the Philippines is the body of Major Guy Howard of Omaha, who was connected with the quartermaster department of the army and was killed on October 21 He whjs passing up the Rio Grande near Ar ray at in a small launch when he was shot by a native concealed along the banks of the stream. He was a son of Major Gen eral O. O. Howard, retired. The body was placed on the transport after funeral ser vices had been held at Manila on the morning of October 1.T. It will be sent to Omaha for interment. The only pussen-gr-i on the Belgian King are a plain Brett of the Twenty-fourth infantry and eleven discharged soldiers from various regiments. The vessel left Manila on Oc tober 25 and as there is no sickness on board will be docked this morning. CI KAN THREATS They Continue to Pour Forth Against the United States Havana. Nov. 23. General Collazo. in an editorial in the Cubano today, says: "We are only waiting for the decision of the United States Congress, upon "which depends the decision that Cuba herself will reach. If the language of the Americans is not clear, the horizon of Cuba will darken with tremendous pro tests which will rise from ail parts of the island. Cubans are resolved. Their words must not be taken as mere boast ings. They will not abandon a solitary right. They will not tolerate the calm, diplomatic cheating of Washington. "A worthy people can not tolerate for eign interference in their private af fair, even when that interfei ence is in the name of altruism. The Cubans do not owe the Americans as much now as they formerly did. Perhaps tomorrow they will have reason to deny that they owe them anything at all." NEW KIND OF FAILURE. Tiiis Bank Paid Everybody and Divi dends Besides. State Bank Commissioner Ereidenthal feas been notified that the Exchange bank of Stockton, which has gone into voluntary liquidation, has collected all its loans, paid off all depositors in full and returned to the stockholders the capital of $23,000 with 30 per cent divi dends. The bank has broken all previous rec ords of this character, having decided just thirty days ago to go out of busi ness by voluntary liquidation. AN ALL AMERICAN ROUTE Opened Up Through the Heart of Alaska. New York, Nov. 23. Captain W. R Abercrombie who haa spent six years in Alaskan exploration and who has just surveyed an all American route to the Klondike, passed through New York today on his way to Washington to make his report to Secretary Root. He said that the main feature of the ex pedition from which he is just return ing is the completion of plans for the opening of the Klondike region for the American miner so he can land at Valdez, with his pack pony and pros pect any part of the public domain, without interference from the officials of a foreign country. "The trail I have purveyed is 380 miles from the boundary, and through the heart of Alaska. I surveyed about Tuo miles, and I built an all Ameri can trail four feet wide, with a view to its ultimate widening, and seventy five miles long through the Rocky mountain divisions from Valdez to the Tonsina river, which Hows into the Copper river. "This road, of course, is merely a trail and very crude, but its course is well watered and game is plentiful, especially bears, goats and wild sheep. The Klondike expedition started from Washington on March 22 and I had with me the topographers, two civil engineers and Lieutenant Babeock, in charge of construction. We went by train to Yellowstone, in Yellowstone park, where we picked up horses and packers which we shipped to Seattle. We left Seattle on April 15, on the steamship Kxcelsior, the expedition numbering about thirty-five souls, in cluding a trail boss, a dynamiter, two sharpeners, rock men, graders and handy men. When we arrived at Val dez we found many miners from the interior stranded and suffering. The war department directed that they be given employment on government work and as a result of this no destitute min ers had to be taken out of the country on the revenue cutters. "During the coming year there will be numerous enterprises embarked in Alaska, especially in the Yukon coun try. The country to be opened to set tlement is fully twice as large as the New Kngland states and will support thousands of people. The water is good, the soil fertile, game abundant, except in the Copper river valley and all the hardy grains, such as areraised in Siberia, are raised along the line of this all-American trail. One hundred and fifty miles above the mouth of the Copper river is dense vegetation and luxurious grass and three or four kinds of edible berries. The mouth of the Copper river is a wide delta containing sandbars and shallows, while sixty miles up are the Miles glacier and the Child's glacier. Finding it is impossible to navigate the Copper river, we went around by Prince William sound. In my experimental garden at Valdez I raised peas, carrots, turnips, lettuce, radishes and other garden stuff. Port Valdez was our base of supplies from Seattle, the supplies being packed in by pack trains." DIG UP THE HATCHET. Sac and Pox Indians Heady to Go on the War Path Omaha. Neb., Nov 23. A special to the Bee from Des Moines, Iowa, says: Four hundred and fifty redskins at the Sac and Fox Indian reservation, in Tama county, are ready to start on the warpath with rifle and top.nhawk. I. E. Wilcox, of Montour, was in con sultation with Judge Oliver P. Shiras, of the federal court, here today and slid that it was only because of his per sonal intercession that the Indians had been prevented from making an assault on the people of Tama City and Toledo to avenge themselves for alleged wrongs inflicted by the Indian agent. Wilcox finally arranged with Judge Shiras to go to Cedar Rapids and there file a petition for habeas corpus for the release of an Indian girl aged IS. con fined in the government Indian school for a month. Wilcox returned to his home last night, assuring the officials that he will be able to control the In dians as long as the courts have the controversy in hand. The woman in the case is Lelah-Puch-Ke-Chee. and she is married. Her hus band is Ta-Ta-Pi-Chi. They were mar ried when she was 17, according to In dian rites, the Sac and Fox Indians be ing permitted to marry on the reserva tion according to tribual customs. When the training school was established by the government at Toledo, Indian Agent W. O. Malin sent out an order for all Indian children under 18 to enroll in the school. The Indians refused and hid their children. The girl in question was taken into another county and was en rolled in a school near Belle Plain. An Indian interpreter was charged with helping children to escape from the reservation and on the trial the state summoned the woman in this case as a witness. Wilcox influenced her parents and husband to accompany her into court at Tama City. The inter preter was discharged, but the Indian agent and Superintendent O. N. Neilis. of the school, seized, the girl, took her away from her husband by force, and. con veying her to the Indian school build ing, confined her there. She has been detained in a room there since the first of the month. It is for her release that Wilcox seeks a writ of habeas corpus. The husband is nominally the plaintiff, and the claim is made that the govern ment has no right to force the Indians to go to sehooi. and in this case has no right to detain a married woman.

London, by Charles Haw trey and his company. It tells the story of a young man who. although betrothed to a beautiful girl, is cursed with inordinate selfishness and whom a messenger from Mars is sent to earth to cure. The cure is effected by a ser ies of misfortunes which reduce him to penury, but prove in the end only a dream. G. S. Tithridge. the messenger; Jessie Bateman and Arthur Williams shared the honors of the performance, "which was cordially received. In response to the calls from the audience Mr. Hawtery appeared and said: "The author is in America, but I thank you in his name." FORM A NEW BASE Insurgents. Are Concentrating at Montalban. Hare Reoccupied and Entrench ed San Mateo. TAKEN BY GEX. YOUNG Last September But He Didn't Think Much of It. Lawton Reported to Be Chasing Aguinaldo. Manila, Nov. 23. 12:50 p. m. The in surgents from the north are concen trating at Montalban and San Mateo where it is said they will make resist ance to the American advance. The Spaniards never occupied these places; and the insurgents believe them to be impregnable. A reconnaissance to the northwest of San Mateo on Tuesday developed the fact that the rebels were moving stores and men to Montalban. The number of the insurgents is unknown. A reconnaissance made yesterday showed that 200 rebels are entrenched at San Mateo and others in the valley between there and Mariquina where the rebel outposts are stationed. Gen. Young entered San Mateo last September and found the place not es pecially adapted for a strong resist ance. News from the pursuit of Aguinaldo is not expected for a day or two. Yes terday a report reached Gen. Lawton by courier from Gen. Young that people knowing the country think Aguinaldo's destination is lloios. With Gen. Lavvton's troops in a posi tion to move toward Bayombong by ev ery road from the south and with im penetrable mountains, peopled by un friendly semi-savage tribes behind, Bayombong would be a poor refuge. Jt is reported that Gen. Lawton in moving northward from Tayug with in fantry to head-off Aguinaldo. Gen. Young has oniy one troop of cavalry and the Maeabebes who orig inally numbered 300. Aguinaldo is sup posed to have two days start from Avail gay. The Newport and Tartar have arriv ed. THE NEXT MOVE. Washington, Nov. 23. The next move of importance in the Philippine cam paign is to be made by Gen. Wheaton, who will go up the coast by transport to Vigan, at the mouth of Aboa river. This will land his forces far to the north of where Aguinaldo is supposed to be, the intention being to cut off his retreat to the north. F'orn the military information bureau, itx is learned that east of the route Aguinaldo is taking are mountains inhabited by natives who are not friendly to Aguinaldo and will be likely to attack him if he at tempts to cross their territory. The country along the coast is quite well settled. There are several little rivers making harbors from which it is feared Aguinaldo may escape by boat. Gen. Young, it is believed is watching these smaller ports with a part of his force. FIGHTING NEAR ILOILO. Manila. Nov. 23. 1:50 p. m. Severe fighting in the north of Iloilo began Tuesday. November 21. Four Ameri cans -were killed and 25 wounded, in cluding three officers. The insurgents are retreating to Santa Barbara but the fighting continues.

College For Orphan Girls to Be Estab lished in Philadelphia. Philadelphia, Nov. 23. A college for girls that will rival Girard college in beneficence and scope is to be estab lished here by Wm. L. Elkins. the trac tion magnate of this city. The idea of a girls' college is said to be an old one with Mr. Elkins and his friends assert that lie has been considering the main features of such a project for several years. It is pointed out that girl orphans have no such advantages as are enjoy ed by boys under the Girard will and it is the chance to supply this badly need ed institution that Mr. Elkins has em braced. Neither Mr. Elkins or those in his confidence care to talk about the plan as yet. M AltCO M FOKAIS A CO 1 P A X Y With an Authorized Capital of $10,000,000 Trenton. X. J.. Nov. 23.

The Republican campaiirn managers have completed their estimates, based on actual returns of the results of the re cent election in Kansas. These figrures they claim show an average majority for that party in the state of Itf.uou, the largest since lss. Chairman Alba ugh and George Clark, secretary of state, prepared the following statement for the newspapers: "The returns have been received com plete from every county in the state ex cept Haskell, which elected the entire Re publican ticket, but from which the com mittee has only received the ma jorities. This county only, polls about lot) votes. These returns show that the averaere vote polled for county officers, taking the vote cast by each party in each county for sheriff, treasurer, clerk, register of deeds, surveyor and coroner, and addinsj the same together and dividing bv 6. in the entire state, was. Republican, 143.379; fus ionist, 127.531. making a, Republican ma jority of i5.s;s. "In the average Republican vote polled in the state for county officers ar rived at in the same mariner, was 134.fJ9y, and the fusion vote 12K.Sv$, giving the Re publicans a majority that year of 10.781. "In 1S!8, when there were state and congressional elections, with the attend ant excitement to induce the voters to go to the polls, the Republican vote polled for governor was 14y.2ini, and the fusion vote 134.15S, giving the state to the Re publicans by 15.134. "On an average vote, the Republicans carried sixty-seven counties by majori ties aggregating 19,251. The fusionists on an average vote on the six county officers carried thirty-eight counties with an ag gregate majority of 3.&&. "On the average vote cast for the six county officers the Republicans carried every congressional district in the state, even the Third which was the only one carried by the fusionists last year. Upon this vote it is Republican by 156. "These returns show further that the Republicans elected their entire ticket, including all of the six officers in twenty nine counties. These counties are: "Allen, Atchison. Barber, P.rown. Chau tauqua, Cowley, Doniphan, Douglas. Ed wards, Elk, Kinney, Harvey. Haskell, Jefferson. Johnson. Lyon. McPherson, Norton. Osage. Osborne, Phillips, Reno, Republic. Riley, Russell. Shawnee, Stan ton; Washington and Wichita. "The fusionist elected straight tickets in only six counties. Chase, Cherokee, Decatur. Grant, Lincoln and Trego. "In 1.)7 the Republicans elected straight tickets in only twenty-six counties, while in that year the fusionists elected straight tickets in ten counties. "The Republicans carried thirty-eight counties by over 100 majority, thirty-one counties by over 200 majority, twenty two counties by over 300 majority, thir teen counties by over EvtO majority, while the opposition only carried fourteen coun ties by over 100 majority, four counties by over 2tnj majority and one county by over 300 majority, and not a single coun ty b y as much as 4o0 in a j or i t y "There were eight judges to be chosen, of which the Republicans elected four and the fusionists four. In the Jackson anil Jefferson district the Republicans lost by reason of the convention making no nom ination, and two candidates being in the field. In "Wyandotte and in the Riley-Clay-Marshall districts, the Republican candi dates were defeated, which were Repub lican losses.' "As a whole, the returns are more than gratifying to the Republican committee.

ASYLUM CASE OPENED. Investigation of Reported fraud Commences at Clay Center. The politicians are now watching with considerable interest the proceedings of the district court in Clay county where the final hearing of the asylum contro versy is in 'progress. Judge W. S. Glass announced In open ing the case for trial on its merits Wednesday afternoon that no official cognizance wouid be taken by him of the appeal upon a writ of error now pending in the supreme court. This is the litigation by which Clay Center hopes to prove that the location of the new state insane asylum at Par sons was accomplished by improper methods, the most important one being the use of boodle upon members of the legislative committee. These charges are made a part of the original petition which was filed some months ago in that court. The proceeding was established as an injunction to restrain the state auditor and the state board of charities from expending the $100,000 in the state treas ury, appropriated for the purchase of a site and the erection of a new asylum. The .application states that the result of the balloting by members of the committee to select a location was in fluenced by improper means A BiilTISH VICTORY. But This One Is In Northern Africa. Cairo, Nov. 23. Gen. Wingate with an Egyptian force moved from Faki kohi yesterday to attack the force of Ahmed Fedit. reported to be at Nefissa, 23 miles from the river Nile, on the road to Gimeh. The sirdar. Gen. Kitchener, has telegraphed to Lord Cromer, the British minister, as follows: Omdurman. Nov. 23. Wingate found Nelissa evacuated. pushed on to Abriaa dil. four miles further and found Fedil's forces encamped. They were forthwith engaged by the mounted troops under Mahon. with four Maxims and two guns and the Jehadieh under Gorringe. The dervishes charged with all their old dash to within i-0 yards of the gur.s. Wingate, with the infantry arrived in time to support Mahon and cleared the whole camp. The dervishes bolted through the bush pursued bvthemoant ed troops. Wingate estimates Fedil's force at 2,500 men, of whom 400 were killed. Poor Jury Material New York. Nov. 23. At the opening of the trial of Roland Molineux today two of the jurors were taken out of the box and excused because of sickness. They are Abraham Altmayer and Morris A: Brauae. The first named, it was shown had recently suffered an attack of con gestion of the brain and Braude was subject to epileptic fits, according to his family physician. Recorder Goff, af ter hearing testimony regarding the health of the two men excused them from serving. HUMILIATION. British Public" Is Deeply Cha grined at the Course Which the Operations in South Africa Have Taken. BOERS UNDERRATED. They Are Constantly Causing Surprises to Their Foes. Situation of .English Colonies Becoming Intolerable. London, Nov. 23. The fact that fresh portions of Natal are being overrun daily by the Boers is producing ex asperation in that colony and intense humiliation in Great Britain where the idea of a possible extensive violation of British soil was contemptuously dis missed in the early stages of the war. Operators on the stock exchange here are becoming nervous and the contin ued fall in consols exemplifies the rest lessness of the market. The rumors that a peace deputation from President Kruger is on its way to Cape Town, for the purpose of ascertaining the terms upon which an immediate cessation of hostilities could be secured, are dis credited here, and it is said that if such a deputation has been sent it will meet with scant courtesy, as those who are conducting the war will be satisfied with nothing less than dictating terms of peace at Pretoria, after a parade of British strength throughout the Trans vaal. In the meanwhile, from the scanty and emasculated dispatches which are dribbling in from the front, it is diffi cult to form an opinion of the true sit uation. The Boer invaders are occasion ing constant surprises. They have al ready cut off two portions of the Lady smith relieving force from their base of supplies, and with great rapidity are advancing on Pietermaritzburg with howitzers and other artillery. Gen. Clery's situation, it would appear, must be becoming intolerable, so serious fighting may be expected at any time, as it is pointed out the general must clear his line of communications i or der to complete the concentration of the relieving force. According to the latest reports from Natal, the artillery duel was recom menced this morning at Mooi river. The statement that the British garrison there is only acting on the defensive appears to be an admission of weakness and it is thought the troops may be at the mercy of the strong Boer forces reported in that neighborhood. A collision may also be expected on the western frontier within 48 hours if it is true that Gen. Metheun has started northward, as he is certain to meet en trenched Boers at Belmont and Modder river. It is reported that Mafeking is suffer ing trom lack ot water and that fever is rife there. A FORWARD MOVEMENT. Queenstown. Cape Colony, Wednes day, Nov. 22. For strategical reasons and to reassure the British population. Gen. Gatacre has decided on a partial forward movement after the reinforce ments arrive tonight. Several further arrests have been made at Naauwpoort and in that neigh borhood, of influential Dutch suspected of disloyalty. Replying to deputations from Herschell regarding the intentions of the Free State forces at Lady Grey, Commandant Olivier declared that an invasion of the Herschell district was not intended. Nevertheless an incursion is anticipated and the natives are arm ing and preparing to resist. AN I) LI) LAW SUIT. Fight Over a Dru Stock Which Has Continued Several fears. For the past three days the district court has been engaged in hearing the damage suit brought by W. J. Kilch ner and R. J. Mackay against ex-Sheriff D. N. Burdge. It is an old case which has been pending for the past three or four years, and has been tried once be fore, but the verdict .was set aside and a new trial ordered. The suit grows out of an attachment suit in which the sheriff levied on a stock of drugs which the plaintiffs claim was sold to them the day before the attachment was made. The amount originally sued for was $4,300. On the first trial a verdict was rendered for the defense, but it was this verdict that was set aside. The present trial was begun on Tues day and testimony was taken up to last night. Judge Hazen gave his in structions to the jury this morning and the case was argued by the attorneys until noon, at which time it was given to the jury. ROBBING AN OLD SOLDIEIl. Man Named Wise Being Tried In District Court. "State of Kansas ve. Wise," is the ti tle of a case which was called for trial in the district court this afternoon. The defendant is accused of robbing an old soldier by the name of McKeon last summer. McKeon was drinking with some parties, and the next time he was conscious of anything he was lying out on Tenth avenue east near the Shunga nunga. and he was short several hun dred dollars. It is alleged that Wise was seen with him in a buggy, and Wise was arrested for the robbery. A special venire of eight jurymen were summoned this morning to hear the case, as the regular panel is out on other cases. APPEARED SANE. But W. H. Bryan Prayed In a Loud Voice So He "Was Declared Crazy. William H. Bryan, the Tecumse'n man who was brought to Topeka early yes terday morning by Sheriff Cook. had his hearing for insanity in the probate court today and was declared insane. At the hearing he was apparently as sane as anyone, and he set up the claim that his wife w anted to send him to the asylum to get his pension money, but the people around the county jail, where he was kept yesterday and last night, have a different opinion. Bryan has become very religious at times, and yesterday and last night he would frequently pray in a loud tune of voice. He also refuses to eat the food that is given him. PEPPERILL PREDICTS. Democratic Leader Says There Will Be Fusion In Kansas, The following appeared in the Kansas Citv Journal this morning: W. H. H. Pepperill of Concoria, Kan., secretary of the state Democratic central committee, drifted into Kansas City. Kan sas, yesterday. He said that there was nothing of particular significance In his unexpected visit. A leading local Demo crat, after caucusing with the state sec retary, announced that he was in the city for the purpose of taking an inven tory of the Wyandotte county Democratic odds and ends counter. He had heard of the Democrats electing two candidates at the recent county election here and felt it his duty as one of the axles on which the Democratic party of the stale turns, to visit the county and inform the faithful that their work had been noticed by the "big men'' of the party. "The Democrats will put up a solid front next year," said Mr. Pepperill, as he leaned back in a large arm chair in the lobby of the National hotel, Kansas City, Kansas. "Yes, the Democrats will carry the country in 1900," he continued. "As a narly we are thoroughly united. There will be no division in the party next year as the gold standard Democrats have either re turned to pure Democracy or slipped un der the Republican tent. A large ma jority of them have come back home and asked forgiveness. On the other hand the free silver Republicans have either de clared themselves for Republicanism as prescribed by the family doctor or have taken up a homestead in the Democratic promised land. In Kansas a golden crop awaits Democratic harvesters. All that remains for us to do is to keep together and be ready to vote when the great day Cometh." When asked if the Populists in Kansas wouid be given any recognition at the hands of the Democrats, the man who has been secretary of the Democratic state central committee for twelve years closed his eyes and from all appearances went Into another trance. He soon awoke and from his answer it was apparent that he had not obtained a very clear view of the future."" "That I can not answer positively, he replied, "but I am of the opinion that the Democrats and Populists will effect a fusion deal on state officers. Of course, it will depend altogether on what action is taken at the national conventions of the two parties. There are a great manv Populists in Kansas and the Democrats can not afford to offend them." Mr. Pepperill was asked what would be the probable course of the Democrats should the Populists insist on running Breidenthal for governor. He did not seem in a hurry to answer. One of the faithful who happened to be an admirer of the bank examiner, remarket! that the Populists would insist on Breidenthal run ning for governor. The political prognosticator from Con cordia did not consider the question of sufficient importance to go into another trance in order to obtain a positive an swer, and dropped the subject with the remark that Breidenthal was a strong man. CHICAGO AFTER DEWEY. Wants to Get Him For May Next Year. Chicago, Nov.23. The Chicago Dewey committee owing to the recent criticism of Admiral Dewey in connection with the transfer of his home, decided today to urge an early acceptance of Chi cago's invitation to the admiral to visit this city. The date for the visit is named as May 1st of next year and in the committee's communications to the admiral he is assured that Chicago cit izens do not approve of the storm of criticism recently raised. Mayor Harrison supplemented the committee's communication by a per sonal telegram in which he urged the admiral to accept the invitation. The committee's letter and the mayor's telegram follow: Chicago. 111., Nov. 23. 1899. To Mr. George Dewey, Admiral U. S. N.

The following cablegram was received at the navy department today from the commander of the United States naval station at Cavite. P. I.: "Cavite, Nov. 23. Charleston wrecked November 2. Last seen November 13 under water from stem to smoke stack; three unsuccessful attempt:; to get near here; heavy typhoon since; expect Culgoa with later news. Officers and crew all saved and well. (Signed.) "LET'TZE." The Culgoa is the supply ship which sailed from Hong Kong several days ago with wreckers and diver: to exam ine the Charleston. She has undoubt edly arrived at the scene of the wreck by this time. The officers at the navy department look upon this report from Captain Leutze as dismissing the last hope of saving the Charleston. Three Houses Demolished. St. Louis. Nov. 23.

Will Cooperate to Secure Legis lation to That End. IN THE DIRECTORATE They Are Willing Government Shall Re Represented. Thinks He Sees Solution to the Whole Problem. Chicago, Nov. 23. "Trade combina tions trusts are ready for and invite government supervision. I know of one big combine whose otlicers even go so far as to say that no objection would be raised to the government having a representative on its board of directors. You will find that the trusts will co operate in securing the enactment of legislation looking to federal supervis ion and this problem will be easily and quickly settled." This was the statement of Congress man Lorimer to his associates on the subcommission on transportation dur ing an informal discussion yesterday of the results thus far attained by the congressional inquiry into the condition of capitaf and labor in the United States. His authority for this view was named as President Lambert of the American Steel and Wire company. Hj supported his contention with a conver sation he had held recently with John W. Gates, former head of the Illinois Steel company. Members of the subcommission ar gued further that the life of the com mission should be live years instead of two as prescribed by the law. Con gressman Lorimer will start for Wash ington on December 1. firm in this be lief. The commissioners admit that the report to congress 011 the trust problem will be the most important feature of their work. Commissioner Kennedy stated that difficulty might lie expected when the 19 members of the investigat ing body sought to draft this report. "I think the question will be easily settled." continued Congressman Lori mer. "I recently talked with President Lambert of the American Steel and Wire company. He asserts that th trade combinations want government supervision. His company, so lie stated, would not obiect to the government appointing a representative on the di rectorate. Examination of the con cern's books, he said, by government inspectors would meet with no opposi tion if reports were not published in such a way as might benefit .competi tors. This position, Mr. Lambert said, is- held generally by officials of trade combinations. They have a selfish pur pose in desiring government control in that they believe it will make their stock more secure in the market." The subcommission on transporta tion struck an obstacle in the lack of witnesses. Postponement of the after noon session was necessary and further delays may induce the commissioners to issue subpoenas for those whom they desire to question. Of the two witnesses appearing, Joseph Chapman, a ware houseman of Zanesville, O., stirred up a mild sensation by proposing as a rem edy to check discriminations !n railroad rates the creation by law of a board of control, composed of one member from each state, which should have absolute power over this and contingent railway problems, with its ruling amenable only to the United States supreme court. He' intimated that the crovernmeiit might possess his plan for a considera tion. "My system," said Mr. Chapman, "contemplates the handling of trallio on a miieag basis, which soould be so arranged that the railroads would get a reasonable return for their services, and the public a reasonable rate of transportation. The vinterstate com merce commission should have a court s power to investigate, dett rmine and rule, but these orders should not be en forced until sanctioned by the board of control." C. C. Emmerson of St. Paul presented the complaints of produce dealers of his city. Rate-cutting, said he, is not now so bnd as formerly. II. H. Porter, when questioned in re gard to Congressman Loiimer's state ment, 3aid: "I can not say what the industrial combinations want. I know nothing of any request to the government that their affairs be examined." John I. Wilson said: "I aro unable to say anything in regard to Congressman Lorimer's statements, for L have no knowledge of what the trusts or indus trial combinations want." SIXTY-FIVE CASES. There Are That Many People In Topeka With Cuban Chickeupox. The city tvili not have a pest house for "Cuban chiokenpox" cases. Mayor Drew and City Physician Peers so de cided this morning. It was the intention of the city board of health to use the Pourth Street hotel but the proprietor, a man named Ver lin, wished the city to buy all his fur niture for $400. Mayor Drew decided that the city could not bear such a heavy expense. At present there are four cases in Fourth Street hotel and the proprietor wishes the city to care for them as they are keeping peoph away from his hotel. Although there will be no pest house the city officials promise a strict quar antine and say that any one breaking the rules of the quarantine will be ar rested. At present there are about tj'i cases of the disease reported to Ser geant Patterson of the sanitary police. Mavor Drew has appointed an extra sanitary policeman and will appoint more if the city physician needs them in enforcing the quarantine. Dr. Peers says there are not as many cases novt as there were some weeks ago. Tvstte Gilbert Seriously 111. London. Nov. 23.

SPORTING NEWS. Jeffries and Corbett May Fight at Taris Exposition. Although the Purses Offered at Home Are Big. COULD FINISH THERE. San -Francisco Club Offers 50,000 For the Bout. Jeffries Thinks Corbett Will Be Hard to Whip. New Tork. Nov. 23. The date for the Jeffries-Corbett contest has not been definitely arranged, but the fighters have agreed to meet on or about Sep tember 15, the contest to take place be fore the club offering the best induce ments. Where the battleground will be pitch ed is hard to tell, but it would not b at all surprising if the encounter took place in Paris during the exposition. The principals would prefer a finish fight, and as such a battle would not be permitted to take place in New Tork. it is likely that some other location will be selected. A fight in Paris between two such noted pugilists as Jeffries and Corbett would be a great attraction. Corbett is well-known abroad, having defeated Mitchell and Sullivan, who were admir ed throughout Kurope. Of course the New York clubs will make an effort to secure the fight, provided the liorton law is not repealed. The final arrangements have been made and W. A. Brady, on behalf of Jeffries, and George Considine, on be half of Corbett, signed articles of agreement for a contest to take place on or about September 15, lyuO. Cor bett wanted the date for September 7 it was on that date in 1S1J2 that he de feated John L. Sullivan for the heavy weight championship of the world but Brady refused to name the date. The contest will go to the club offering the largest purse and bids will remain open until May 1 next. Brady, on behalf of Jeffries, insisted that the rules to govern the contest permit of hitting in clinches and hit ting on the breakaways. Corbett made a vigorous objection to the incorpora tion of these clauses in the articles, and Brady called "Jim's" attention to the fact that he fought Fitzsimmons under those rules. Corbett said: "Well, 1 lost the fight, and the rules evidently did not agree with me, and I want to try some other kind." Finally it was agreed to have straight Marquis of Queensberry rules govern the battle. Corbett also asked for the privilege of using bandages on his hands, to which Brady objected. It was agreed to leave this matter to the referee, who will be selected later on. Bradv suggested Siler for referee, but Considine and Corbett both entered ob jections. After the men had signed the articles D. T. Tobin of San Francisco offered a purse of $50,000 for the contest, which Brady and Considine agreed to accept. Then they changed their minds to see if there would not be better induce ments offered later. If the fight takes place in New Tork state, it will be lim ited to twenty-five rounds. Should the battleground, however, be at Carson City, it will be to a finish. The articles of agrement are as fol lows: Articles of agreement, etc., entered into on this 20th day of November. 1S99, between James J. Jeffries of Los An geles. Cal., champion of the world, party of the first part, and James J. Corbett. of New York, party of the sec ond part. First The said parties of the first part and of the second part agree to engage in a pugilistic contest for the title of championship of the world. Second The date of the contest to be on or about September 15, 1900. Third Said contest to be of twenty five rounds' duration, or to a finish, un der the existing laws of the state in which the contest shall take place. Fourth The said contest to be decided under the so-call'd Marquis of Qneens berry rules, which are to be strictly in terpreted bv the referee. Fifth The parties to this agreement have each deposited the sum of So,""" with "Al" Smith of New York which shall be forfeited by the contracting party failing to appeax or failing to comply with the stipulations herein provided. Sixth It is hereby stipulated that the contest shall be decided under the aus pices of the club making the highest or most desirable bid, that option being left open until May 1. V."0. to receive bids, such bills to be sealed and placed in the custody of "Al" Smith at the Oiisey house in New Tork city and to remain unopen ed until midnight of the day appointed. Seventh It is further agreed that the contest shall be for the largest purse offered, or for a percentage of the gate receipts to be divided a.s follows: Seventv-five (75 per cent to the winner and twenty-five (2b per cent to the loser of the contest, Kiirhth The said parties to this agree ments to have an equal share in the profits accruing from the sale of all priv ileges. Ninth The fight shall be for the Police Gazette belt, which is emblematic of the championship of the world. Tenth The referee to be selected and mutually agreed to on May 1. VM). "I really don't think the tight will be fought any earlier than next September," says Jeffries. "This long delay is caused by the severe injury to my left arm which I received in my fiht with Sharkey. You see. I can't bend my fingers down to my shoulder, a-s I can my right arm and el bow. In the fight with Sharkey 1 hurt my arm in the first few rounds of the battle and I was unable to do any exe cution with my left throughout the fight. "Now, in regard to the opinion which some persons have that Corbett will be the easiest mark which I have had in some time, let me say that Corbett will give me a more troublesome and harder battle than any fighter has yet given me, not even barring Fitzsimmons and Shar key. Corbett is a remarkable clever man. a good ring general anil extremely lively on his feet. Sharkey. I think, is an easH'r man for me to beat than Corbett. My reason for saying this is not for the pur- fose of underrating Sharkey as a pugi ist for be is a wonderful tighter but just because I have fought him twice and know his style thoroughly." HARVARD'S NEXT CAPTAIN. Choice Lies Between Quarter Back Daly and Hallowel the End. Cambridge. Mass., Xov. 23. "Harvard's football captain for next year will not be decided for possibly three weeks. In the meantime a pretty electioneering: scheme is poing- on among the fifteen men who played in the Yale and Pennsylvania grames. These will elect the leader and there is no doubt that the honor lies be tween Charles Dalv. the younMT quarter back, and H. P. Hallowed, the crack end. Many thought even last year that Daly should have been captain, but as he was only a junior the Harvard tradition of selecting a senior proved too strong against him. Now he finds a strong but a friendly rival in Hallowed. The latter was captain of the freshman team and has the abilitv to command and lead. He comes from the famous Hallowell family that for years has given Harvard foot bail and track men. He is a cousin to Hal lowell the '3 end and a brother to "Joio" Haiiowell, tackle in '&5. He w ent to Eig- land last year as a member of the inter national track team, and is about as pop ular a man as there is in the class. IJaly, the quarter buck, should be a logical candida-te for the captaincy, and his remarkable playing, offensively and defensively, has made him a college hero. He can infuse life into a. team and his judgment has always been reckoned as the soundest. Uny was the Harvard broad jumper in the international track team. The chances are that he will win the captaincy, and if so he is sure to bo a. good leader. SWIFT TOMMY RYAN". Has Been Matched to Meet Myster ious Billy Smith. New Tork, Nov. 23. Mysterious Billy Smith and Tommy Ryan have been matched to meet in a twenty-five round bout at the I.enox or Broadway Athletic club iy, January. Tom O'Kourke. manager of Strilth. had a talk with Ryan today and articles of agreement were signed on the part of both principals. Kid .McCoy, who is matched to box Pet er Maher in a twenty-five round bout at the Coney Island Sporting club, on Ie cember 11 for a purse of $20. U"". says he will not fight Maher under the canopy of lights as Jeffries did Sharkey. McCoy in speaking about this matter today, said: "1 understand they intend to take the pictures of the fight between Maher and myself, but if they think they are going to get me to light under those same lights that Sharkey and Jeffries boxed under they are greatly mistaken. I will not tight Maher if those lights are to be over our heads, for. as I am not very strong, I don't intend -to throw away any chances of winning the battle by boxing under them." Jeffries also said today that he will never again fight under such lights, as the heat, weakens a man. THREE CLUBS FOR CHICAGO. Baseball Leaders Seem to Be Getting Further Apart. Chicago. Nov. 2.1. Baseball politics have reached a stage so tangled that it will probably take all winte rto straighten out the ravels. In the meantime the Chicago public is promised a chanc to patronize three league teams next year. Unless some one is hluftinj? fir makintr some lartro I miscalculation there will be interesting times about the season when the flowers begin to bloom again. President Kan Johnson bids definnnce to the National league with the announce ment that the American league will be doing business on the south side next spring. James A. Hart is credited with a 1 desire to add the stars of the Louisville 1 club to his list of players, and A. C. An son has all but signed a lease for grounds to be used by the American assoeiation. And a wealth of managerial talen Com iskey, Loftus and Anson is elected to hava nharge of the there teams. Joh'in and Comiskey returned from Milwaukee yesterday and the former re asserted the intention of the American league to place a team in Chicago. The reported interview that such a team could play in opposition to the National league without breaking the national agreement wa-s denied by the American league presi dent as coming from himself. He did not commit himself on that point. STEAD AFTER M'GOVERN. 'Ole Olson" Wants to Box the Cham pion Six Rounds. Chicago, Nov. 23. George Stead ("Ole Olson"! is anxious to right six rounds with Terry MeGovern in Chicago or any other place where a purse can be secured. Stend offers to weigh in at 124 pounds at 3 o'clock or 120 at the ringside. He is certain that MeGovern can not dispose of him within the six-round limit find offers to tight under the condition that MeGovern is to receive the entire purse in case he knocks Stead out in six rounds. If Olson stays the limit he wants half of the purse. Olson is a clever boxer and can hit hard with either hand. 2C XT. HERE ON SATURDAY. Strong University Team to Play Washburn on Topeka Grounds. On Saturday afternoon the football root ers of Topeka will have an opportunity f watching1 the 1. team play fr the firRt time on a Topeka prridiron. Wash burn "will line up acrainst thevarsity team. Witshburn has little chance of winning". This years lv. f. team is the Ftrong-est football team that has been known in the west. The fact will not detract from the interest of the- prairie for Washburn will make a hard lip lit for a score. It might be said that the contest will really be over the scoring. The K. T'. team de feated Washburn on McCook field early in the season by the score of 31 to 0. Now "Washburn will fight to score. If the team dos the Topeka contingent will be satis field. Washburn stands a crood chance of a score. The team is probably stronrer than when the lirst game with K. 17., wa.s played. On the other hand K. U. has develoned wonderfully since that game. The Washburn team has also im proved. Several of the players who have been out of the game have returned. The X. I', team plays the snappiest game with the best interference of any team that has represented the university. Stagg Has Baseball Plans. Chicago. Nov. 23. The Vniverslty of Chicago baseball nine will take plentv of railroad work next year if the present plans of Coach St a gg and Captain Ver non carry out. A trip to the e.-tst. plaving1 Yale, Harvard.

Stagg- also has offers from one of the western league teams to play ball for practice and he mav take it up. Practice for the ball team does not begin before the first of next year. "Wagner to Join the Rods. Cincinnati, O., Nov. 23. Perhaps ""FTon est" Hans Wagner, t he heavy hitting player with the Jjouisvilies will be with the Reds next season. There is reason to believe that the T,ouisYille club will sell out. President Dreyfus promised Presi dent Brush some time agt that Cincin nati should have the first choice of plav ers if the Ixuiisville club decided to sell out. This would mean that President Brush would choose Wagner. ADMIRAL FEELS WOUNDED. Would Have Declined the House Had He Known of a "String." New York, Nov. 23. The Brooklyn Eagle prints the following dispatch under Wash ington date line: "Had I supposed that my many friends who gave me this beautiful home at tached a string to it when they gave it to me I most certainly would not have ac cepted it," said Admiral Dewey today. "Mrs. Dewey and I expect to occupy this house that has been so generously given to me by my fellow-countrvmen as Ions as we live. After my wedding I thought it would be an appropriate act on my part to give to the woman I loved best in the world the most valuable of mv posses sions, the thing that I prized the his-hest. And so I placed in her name the title to this house." Admiral Dewey is deeply wounded bv the criticisms that have been made bv different papers throughout the country of turning over to Mrs. Dewev the title of the house. 1747 Rhode Island avenue, in this city. He feels that his action has been misunderstood, and that the pub lished reports of the transaction will serve to convey to his friends and admir ers throughout the country, who gener ously contributed money toward the pur chase of a home for him, a false impres sion, and that he will be placed bv these criticisms in a wrong light before the pub lic. Admiral Dewey did not at first intend to make any comment upon the attacks that have been made upon him on ac count of the transfer of his house to Mrs. Dewey. But he and his wife both felt many contributors to the Dewey home fund entitled to an explanation. It was this belief which led the admiral to make the remarks already quoted. Made Young Again.

Says Eastern Women Should Purify Morals OF MEN FRIENDS. There Are Worse Things Than Polygamy Abroad. Best Let Congress, Unaided, Deal W ith Roberts. Rochester, Nov. 23. From criticisms that have appeared in the press of the country since the so-called "Roberts motion" came up in the convention of the State Federation of Women's Clubs held in this city, in which I made a short speech recommending- the federa tion to take no action in the matter. I think I have been grossly misunder stood and probably misquoted. No person could abhor polygamy more than myself, but I detest even more the license taken by men under the loose morals existing in what the Mormons call the Gentile world. The point is not that I uphold polygamy or any of its exponents, but I do feel more charily for a Mormon when he transgresses the laws of the land, who has been taught from his birth that it is not only his right but his duty to God to enter into plural marriages, and that the man who has the greatest number of wives stands highest in God's favor, than I do for the man who has been taught from his cradle that the unpardonable sin is the desecration of wmaonhood. His religious training and the moral code of civilization in which he is reared all make it a crime for man to violate the Seventh Com mandment or the established law of monogamy. Yet', judging from the tes timony we see all about us our Doors of Hope, our lying-in and foundlinghos pitals and our fallen womanhood the married or single man who lives a pure life is rare. Therefore I have more re spect for the Mormon polygamist, who follows his teachings and lives up to the traditions of the religious sect by marrying the different women with whom he cohabits, supporting them and their children, than I have for the man who defies public opinion and in the light of our advanced civilization and religious moral teaching gives his name anl his support to one openly while secretly desecrating the lives of other women, thus committicg a crime against his lawful wife as well as the other woman or women whom he wrongs. If he have no wife the sin is as great against morality, and he should suffer equally with the woman. Therefore, while abhorring the prin ciples of polygamy, I think the wives and the mothers of the east might bet ter enter a crusade against the licen tiousness existing all around us and polluting our manhood, ami leave it to our lawmakers to settle the matter of Roberts' fitness to be their associate in congress. If women would require the same moral purity in men that men require of women, and if mothers would refuse to entertain in their homes or give their sweet, virtuous young daughters to men whom they know to have trans gressed the moral code, society would soon undergo a purification a revolu tion. If our women would take this decided stand it would strike the strong est, most decisive blow at polygamy, for the root of the two evils polygamy in T"tah and licentiousness in the east is the same, and nothing but the high est moral teaching and the example of pure lives can blot out either. With that man Roberts I have no sympathy personally. He is a strong anti-suffragist and did all in his power to prevent the women of Utah from securing the ballot. SUSAN B. ANTHONY. BETTER READ THIS!

WHY NOT A TRUST While Other States Are After Insur ance Combinations, Kansas Is Silent. Interest in the recent insurance rate war has been revived by a controversy which is going on in Minnesota between the state administration and the in surance companies on account of the union and non-union rules and regula tions. The attorney general and the super intendent of insurance have taken the position that the union of insurance companies is a violation of the anti trust laws. The Kansas law upon this subject is more drastic than the Minnesota law. The attention of some of the insurance men in Kansas has been attracted to the Minnesota fight and some of them have called upon W. V. Church, super intendent of insurance and also the at torney general to inquire if the same kind of a fight could not be inaugura ted in Kansas. To this there has been a negative answer or no answer at all. The state administration does not seem disposed to enforce the anti-trust law. The Minnesota officials are stirring up the insurance companies in great style. The attorney general of Minnesota takes the position that the practical operation of the union plan will be to shut out very largely the various non union companies from doing a success ful business, and thereby competition in the insurance business is decreased, unless such company join the union. He holds it quite clear that nonunion companies are prohibited from joining at this time the so-called union, that the bare offer for an increased commis sion by any company would not be the subject of objection, but action by any company a member of the union pur suant to the compact entered into, which would either force companies to an illegal act or else require them to surrender a large percenLage of their business and thereby decrease competi tion, was outside the original powers of such company. He further advises the department that it should require such companies to withdraw or eliminate the offer of increasing the compensation of the agent only upon condition that such agent should surrender the business of nonunion fire insurance companies and cease thereafter to represent them. The superintendent says: "I therefore notify you as president of this union to advise the members thereof that it is the opinion of the legal department of this state that a circular letter ad dressed to agents of union companies providing for a payment of an increas ed commission conditional that they hereafter will not represent other than exclusively union companies is contra ry to the laws thereof. I would also ask that you file with this department a paper in writing to the effect that the union has excluded Minnesota in the enforcement of its rule as to condition al graded commissions." The companies w ho refused to comply with this ruling will be excluded from Minnesota. BOOM FOR MADDEN. Emporia Democratic Paper Wants Him Nominated Por Congress. The Emporia Democrat publishes the following1: "There seems to be a very strong' and almost universal deMre on the part of the Democrats and Populists in this part of the state to bring John Madden out as a candidate for congress against J. M. Miller. Four years ago when there was no possible chance to elect a Democrat or Populist. Mr. Madden accepted the nom ination and made one of the most remark able campaigns ever put up in Kansas. Two years later when there "was a chance to elect a congressman. Mr. Madden in the interest of harmony, stood aside in order that a Democrat mifeht be nominat ed. "At present on the congressional Ques tion the Republican party here is split wide open. There is now and probabiy will be in the next campaign, perfect har mony between the Democrats and Popu lists. If this condjtion of affairs continue to exist there is but one thing to do, and that is nominate Mr. Madden for congress from this district. He is entitled to the nomination and he can be elected. If t ha t is done, the Democrats and Popu lists will have something to work for in the next campaign. On all the issues of the Democrat and Populist parties, Mr. Madden is in perfect harmony except ex pansion, and while a good many Demo crats are opposed to it, there is a possi bility that he is just a little in advance of his party on this question. The last few weeks hav? developed the fact that many of the ablest Democrats of the na tion are in fa tor of expansion. While there may be other available men in other counties, the nomination belongs to John Madden as a man. Without saying any thing to the discredit of any other man who might be nominated, he can go out of Lyon county with more votes than any man who can be selected. While Mr. Madden has not consented to enter the race some of his most intimate and close friends say that he will accept if It comes to him without a scramble.' Editor Sees Wonders. Editor W. V.

Are on Rock Island's Enid Tonkawa Branch. GARBER IN THE LEAD. Central Town is So Far Ahead of Competitors. Interesting Items of a General and Local Nature. The Rock Island officials are pleased over the bright prospects of the Knid Tonkawa railroad, the new branch line out of Xorth Enid, which was open ed for regular traffic last Monday morning. Even at this early date the new line gives promise of being one of the best paying branches of the Rock Island system. The three towns. Cropper, Garber and Billings are growing steadily. The towns are located about ten miles apart and there is great rivalry between them for supremacy. Buildings, both of brick and wood, are being rapidly erected and several large enterprises are listed as possibilities. Garber seems to be in the lead, but Cropper and Billings are closely fol lowing. At Garber, the streets have already been graded and laid out in ev ery direction, and roads opened up into the country. Alreafly grain and pro duce is being hauied in, and finds a ready market. The shipments of grain from Garber and vicinity up to the resent time number 25 cars, with many more in sight. Ground has already been broken for a large flouring mill and it will be erect ed as soon as the material can be deliv ered. The contracts have been let for the erection of two two-story brick buildings. A well known wheat and grain exporter has completed arrange ments for the immediate erection of a large elevator near the railroad tracks. Land has been secured for church pur poses and a large edifice will be built at the earliest possible date. Everything in the town is business. Everyone is busy. Material is being hauled into the town every day by the carload and a large number of men are at work putting up store buildings and dwelling houses. Dealers in all kinds of merchandise have opened up stores, and business is said to be good. Located as Garber is in the very heart of a very fertile and productive country, it is believed that it will be come one of the leading towns in Okla homa. The railroad service is good, of fering close connection with outside points. NEW PULLMAN TICKET. Annoyance of Present System on Sleeping Cars to Be Done Away With. Chieago, Xov. 23. A. new form of sleeping car ticket which, it is believed, will save passengers much of the an noyance now occasioned in checking berths, is being experimented with by the Pullman's company on the Alton road between Chicago and St. Louis. The ticket consists of fouv attached coupons, the first of which is torn off and retained by the agent selling the ticket, the second goes to the conductor, the third to the auditor of the sleeping car company and the fourth is given to the passenger as a check for his berth, displacing the old porter's check given passengers in exchange for their tickets. At .present when a patron buys a berth ticket he ertains it until thesleep ing car conductor makes his collection, when it is taken up and a porter's check given him. On night trains this red tape has been particularly annoying to patrons. For example, on trains de parting from Chicago between 11 and 12 o'clock at night passengers are often compelled to sit up until 1 o'clock or later to exchange their berth tickets for the porter's checks. The new form of coupon ticket will obviate all this, as the passenger will be given a check before he boards a train. "We believe the new coupon sleeping car ticket will prove very popular," said an official of the Pullman com pany. "It will save night passengers the inconvenience of sitting up until their tickets are collected on the train. It will mean more work for the ticket agents, but less trouble to our patrons. We are experimenting with the coupon affair and if it proves popular it may displace the present card form en tirely." FIGHT PIERPONT MORGAN". Independent Anthracite Coal Opera tors Combine Against Him. New York, Xov. 23. At a meeting held in this city, the Anthracite Coal Operators' association adopted resolu tions pledging the support of all its members in the speedy building of a railroad to connect the railroad lines already controlled by the association in Pennsylvania to tide water atRound ouVet, Xew York. The association is composed of all the independent coal operators in the Lackawanna, Wvom ing. Lehigh and Schuylkill vailevs. These number sixty-eight and repre sent a capital of $110,000,000 and one third the total output of anthracite coal, which it is estimated will amount to 47.500.000 tons this year. This, it is stated by the coal opera tors, means a fight against the railroad combine which is controlled largely by J. Pierpont Morgan, of this eitv, through the Reading. Erie and Lehigh railroads, which roads, the Pennsyl vania coal operators say, have put op pressive rates on the coal traffic from the independent mines. A TRAIN CHASE. Great Northern Mail Train Breaks Record For 557 Miles. St. Paul, Minn., Xov. 23. The Great Xorthern claims the record for the fastest run on a Northwestern railroad. An eastbound Great Xorthern train was delayed near Leavenworth. Wash., several hundred miles west of Spokane, by a landslide. In the delayed train was some important mail. A special train was made up of an engine, mail car and caboose, the mail was trans ferred and the train started east. In the meantime, finding that the eastbound train would not reach Spokane, another train had started on toward St. Paul in order to fill the vacancy. So it became a stern chase. The special east from Spokane had a start of 210 miles. The trip of the pursuer to Spokane. 205 miles, was made in four hours and thirty minutes. The best time was made between "Wil son and Spokane. 105 miles, in one hour and thirty minutes. The pursuer came up with the pursued at Biackioot. Mont., having made up seven hours of delay. It was the fastest long distance run made by a western road, the distance being 557 miles. PULLMAN SHOPS IN DENVER. Officials From Chicago Go in Search of a Site For Proposed Plant Denver, Xov. 23. Officials of the Pull man company are looking for a Denver site upon which to build large shops. Vice President Wickes of the Pullman company arrived from Chicago this morning, accompanied by C. A. Garson, general superintendent: "W. H. Reed, superintendent of the Chicago division; D. H. Martyn, superintendent of the St. Louis division: H. M. Plager, chief me chanic and engineer, and R. Dean, as sistant to the vice president. It was ru mored that Mr. "vVickes had come out for the purpose of inspecting old Twenty-sixth street roundhouse for the pur pose of converting it into a shop. Mr. Wickes said: "Our company has been considering a proposition to build a large shop west of Chicago. I think this is a good point and have come out to look over the pro position. So far no site has been se lected." PLEA FOR SAFETY PAPER. Secretary of Passenger Agents' Asso ciation Recommends Its Use. A. J. Smith, secretary of the Ameri can Association of General Passenger and Ticket agents, has issued an im portant circular to all the railroads in this country and Canada. He re fers to the recent successful attempt to counterfeit tickets of the Colorado Mid land road, because it does not use the kind of safety paper which the asso ciation recommended some years ago, and which has been adopted by two thirds of the railroads. The manufac turer of that paper has a monopoly, but he is under big bonds to sell it only to certain printers, who have secured a license from the association. Not over 20 printing firms in the country have such a license. It is claimed that every sheet of the safety paper is handled and guarded as carefully as the paper made for treas ury or bank notes, and that it is prac tically impossible for persons not enti tled to it to get it or successfully imi tate it. Secretary Smith expresses the liope that by January 1, 1901, every rail road in the "United States, Canada and Mexico will use the safety paper recom mended by the association exclusively for interline tickets. PAUL MORTON TALKS. Favors Legalized Fooling and Denies Benefits of Government Ownership. Chicago, Xov. 23. A strong argument in favor of legalized pooling was made before the sub-committee of the indus trial commission by Paul Morton, sec ond vice president of the Santa Fe. He went into thes ubject at considerable length and declared that a system of legalized pooling would come nearer to attaining stability of rates than any thing ret proposed. He also stated that the system would protect small ship pers in small towns to an extent not possible under present methods. He disapproved government owner ship or railroads, claiming that it would bring higher rates and inferior service. "Stability on freight rates is just as essential," he said, "as unfluctuating, import duties." He expressed the opin ion that ticket scalpers are the cause of much dishonesty and ought not to be tolerated. NEW MEXICAN CONNECTION. American Railroad Promoter Secures Valuable Concession. Monterey, Mex., Xov. 23. Francisco Armendiaz, the millionaire business man of this city, has sold his interest in the concession recently obtained for the building of a railroad from Monter ey to Matamoros, on the Rio Grande border, to Wr. S. Anderson, an Ameri can railway promoter. It is expected that the work of constructing the line will begin about January 1. Governor Guadalupe Mainero, of the State of Tamaulipas. is one of the parties in terested with Mr. Anderson in the en terprise. The proposed road, in connection with the San Antonio and Brownsville road, that is to be built from San Antonio to Brownsville, opposite Matamoros, Alex., will give a new through line between this part of Mexico and the United States. FOLLOW SANTA FE MEN'S LEAD Pennsylvania Road Firemen Make a Demand For Higher Wages. Pittsburg, Pa., Xov. 23. The meeting of the protective board of the Brother hood of Locomotive Firemen, held here during the past two days, has developed into a demand for higher wages. A committee from the boaid called on General Manager L. F. Loree of the Pennsylvania lines west and proposed a higher rate of wages for the firemen. The demand was taken into consider ation, but no answer was given, and until the railroad officials are heard from the men will not say what they may do. 8,300 MILES IN ONE CAR. From Kansas City to City of Mexico Without Change. You may step into a sleeping car at Kansas City at 2:30 o'clock any after noon and if you stay in the car for nearly four days jiou may alight from the same car in the historic City of Mexico. The distance covered is almost 2.300 miles without change of cars, re checking of -baggage or other discom forts to travelers. The new through passenger service between Kansas City and the City of Mexico was established by the Santa Fe railroad on November 19. It is working satisfactorily. The comfort of travel ers is better and the profits of the rail road company are enhanced. Through sleepers are run between both cities daily. The route is by the Santa Fe to El Paso, Texas, and thence over the Mexican Central road to the City of Mexico. The service is to be further improved at an early date with new twelve section, buffet, Pullman palace cars. Santa Fe's Grand Canyon Line, Work on the Santa Fe Grand Can yon railroad is progressing at a rapid rate. Steel is laid for nearly fifteen miles, out. Work has been retarded to some extent by reason of Contractor Coleman's inability to secure men. as it has been impossible to fill the track gang's quota of 1.5 men. Thirty-five men have arrived from Los Angeles and about twenty-five came in from the east, which will be of material help. Everything looks favorable for the completion of the road out to the forty ninth mile post by Christmas, and com pletion of the road to the canyon by the middle of February.

The new engines, just delivered to the Rio Grande are the most powerful locomotives ever put to work on mountain lines. Although pas senger engines in build they are capa ble of pulling, at passenger speed, more than the heaviest freight engine opera ted in the state can pull at freight speed. FROM HORTON. Fireman Frank Hall, who has been on the switch engine for several months, is now firing on the extra list on the road. The paycar was in the Horton shops for repairs last week, before starting out on its trip. Assistant Hostler Harry Berry was examined Monday for fireman, and re ceived a favorable report. Conductor O. F. Hill has been off duty the past week, having mashed a foot while unloading way-freight. The roundhouse is now fitted with new pits for the stalls and a new brick floor. Cy Penrod, who has been an employe of the machine shop for several years, took the examination for fireman Tues day. Engineer Art Hodgdon was severely injured at Herington last week, by step ping in a new cinder pit that had been dug since his last trip there. The railroad boys of Horton drew their checks from the paycar Tuesday, instead of receiving them at the offices. The company runs the paycar out occa sionally to see If there are any padded payrolls. Engineer Ed Bryant will move his family to Scranton, Pa., where he will work for the D. L. W. Mr. Bryant has been a resident of Horton for sev eral years, and with his excellent fam ily, will be greatly missed. He resign ed from the Rock Island of his own ac cord, FROM ELDORADO. Dave Henderson will be fireman on 9 and 10 east hereafter, and Lee Davis takes his place on 5 and 6 east. Guy Marshall is now foreman of the Missouri Pacific depot paint gang. Guy has attended closely to business and deserved promotion. H. Bartels has resigned his position under James Hardie, and has gone to Little Rock to accept a position on the Oklahoma, Choctaw Gulf railroad. Mr. Holly, who has been relieving Ed Abbott, night operator, and Mr. Alex ander, operator in Lew Samuel's place, went to Sedalia, Mo., yesterday. Messrs. Abbott and Samuels returned yesterday morning. There is a great deal of wondering as to what the Santa Fe is going to do re garding the train service on this branch. It is an established fact that the company is not spending so much money fixing up tlw roadbed for noth ing. Whether it is for through freight service alone or for both freight and passenger to the south, it is impossible to find out just now. AN AMBITIOUS HORSE. Tried, to Run Up a Sixth Avenue Stairway. There was a runaway on Sixth avenue, west, Wednesday afternoon. There may be nothing unusual in an announcement of this character, but the horse which I was the principal actor in the incident j was unusual. It wished to rise in the world, and in gratifying this ambition it attempted to climb a stairway. The vehicle to which the horse was at tached was a light buckboard. As the animal came running along on Sixth ave nue it evidently intended to turn into Love Cook's livery barn, between Jack son and an Buren streets, but it got mixed up in the street numbers or else h.'id lost the atltlross, and it turned in at the Topeka Cornice works, v.. few doors west of the barn. Over the sidewalk went the horse, straight for the stairway that leads to the second storv of the' building. The screen door was still over the doorway, j nilL Lilt? HUlJe U1U liUL JIllllO a 11LL1-" Illlllg like that. Into the screen he jumped, taking it with him. and he only stopped when the wheels of the vehicle struck the door casing. When bystanders reached the animal he was entirely inside the stairway with his fore feet well up the stnirs. The buckboard was somewhat damag ed, but the horse appeared to be entirely uninjured- Round Trip in 61 Days. San Francisco. Cal., Nov. 23.

Dr. Von Holleben, in the course of an informal talk today with a representative of the Associated Press, spoke of his recent visit to Europe and his observations there on the trend of sentiment concerning international questions. "The Samoan settlement meets with very general approval," said the am bassador, "also it is to be regarded as a good thing for all the parties in terested. It is certainly a good thing for the three governments who have hitherto exercised a joint protectorate over the islands, as this arrangement was cumbersome and unsatisfactory and the event of last spring showed that it might give occasion for serious differences. It is equally good for Samoa as the citizens no longer share in the uncertainty of the tri-partite agreement but will have a uniform and stable government. "Xaturally the settlement is most gratifying to Germany, as she secures the two large islands of Lpolu and Savaii, where her interests have long been established and where the com merce is considerable. The Germans have been in that locality so long that considerable attention is attached to the retention of these islands. Moreover, this accession, following so closely the accession of the Carolines is regarded as another marked tribute to the strong and successful policy which Count von Buelow is carrying out. "Concerning the war in South Africa, the sentiment in Europe so far as I was able to observe is one of profound pub lic interest and complete official neu trality. Xaturally in a conflict of this character, the public takes sides. It is the same as here in the United States for I have noticed since my return that opinion is divided here. This public sentiment in Germany and elsewhere simply shows the free play which is given to individual opinion. But this is quite different from the attitude of the government which is scrupulously correct, neither showing favor nor dis favor to either side. And so far as I observed this is the attitude through out Europe, for while there has been much conjecture in the press concern ing intervention such a step does not appear to have received the slightest consideration in responsible quarters." Refering to China and the recent ne gotiations which the United States has been, engaged Dr. Von Holleben said: "I notice that the question has at tracted much attention in this country but so far as I am concerned, I come back entirely without instructions. I may say, however, that Germany's policy in China has always been favor able to "the open door.' The German port of Kiao-Chau has its doors open to the commerce of the world without favor or discrimination, and I have no reason to believe that any change in this well established policy is contem plated." SAYS HUSKY WAS DRUNK California Soldier Makes State ment Concerning Affidavit. San Francisco, Cal., Xov. 23. Harold V. Chambers, a soldier of the Twentieth Kansas regiment, and a personal friend of Harris Husky, of the same regiment, whose deposition alleges that Colonel Metcalf shot a Filipino pris oner while the latter was on the ground begging for mercy, makes the following statement in regard to the matter: "On the 24th day of July, the day the affidavit was obtained from Husky, I saw him in company with Lieutenant Hall, crossing the bridge of Spain in Manila and was surprised to see that he was much under the influence of liquor, as Husky was not a drinking man. When I met him later in the day he was very talkative and said that he had signed a statement, bat had no clear recollection as to what it related to. Just before leaving Manila, I went to see Husky, who had re-enlisted in the Eleventh volunteer cavalry, and he again spoke to me about the affidavit, saying that at the time he signed it he was drunk, and that if he had been sober he would never have made such a statement, as he was not sure that it was the truth. He said that though he had seen Colonel Metcalf shoot a man he believed that the man was a Filipino prisoner who was attempting to escape by running through the firing line. "He further stated that once having signed such a paper, he was compelled to testify before the board of-investiga-tion appointed at Manila, and that he was sorry for the injury he had done Colonel Metcalf, who was one of the kindest and bravest of officers. "Husky, in a further statement, said his signature had been coaxed from him while drunk, and that on sobering up he had asked the statement return ed to him, but had been obliged to be contented with the assurance that it would not be used. He also stated that he had not written the statement, but had simply signed one already prepar ed, and that in case it was used, upon the return of the regiment to the Unit ed States, I should take the opportunity to make clear this statement of the case." CORBIX CAN FIXD NOTHING. Washington, Nov. 23. Adjutant Gen eral Corbin yesterday ordered an in spection of the military records on file in the war department, but nothing was developed to give the least color to the report that Colonel Metcalf, of the Twentieth Kansas, had murdered a na tive of the Philippines. So far as the war department is concerned. General Corbin says, there is absolutely nothing on file in all the numerous reports to give any warrant for the charge. The adjutant general evinced a personal in terest in the case and ordered a search ing inquiry to be made by bis subordi nates to determine if there is any ground for the assertion. The result of this inquiry is summarized above. There is nothing on record, either from Major Mallory or from the board of in quiry which is said to have made a re port on the subject, or from General Otis, as commander-in-chief of the American forces. General Corbin sail that he does not believe there is any thing in the story, as the report of an investigation of a matter of so much importance would have been transmit ted to the war department by General Otis. However, as the charges are be ing made openly, he says he will order an immediate investigation and ask for an official denial or affirmation from General Otis. j The Aristocratic Refinement Of the furnishings of the Santa Fe's California Limited will commend itself to those who appreciate the luxuries and conveniences of a perfectly ap pointed fast train.

New York is getting ready to experi ment with Kansas' discarded metropol itan police law. Japan is about to reverse the custom ary order of events by jumping onto a nation larger than herself. The city is entering- upon another winter without any adequate provision for keeping the sidewalks clear of snow. Japan is preparing to furnish the remainder of the world a little enter tainment by making the bear dance. Aguinaldo has escaped again. Gen. Otis was just about to put his finger on him when he found that he was not there. The chart makers In time will be able to find all the hidden rocks in Philippine .waters if the war ships hold out. Considering the habits of language which he would be likely to imbibe from association with the admiral, perhaps it is as well that Mrs. Dewey disposed of her parrot. Since the announcement that Mrs. Aguinaldo keeps her clothing in barrels, there seems no longer any doubt that the Filipinos are unfit for self-government. In the Thanksgiving proclamations is sued this year, by some strange over Eight, the end of the Dreyfus case was omitted from the causes for thankful ness. The situation in the state of Wash ington must be deplorable.judging from the following in the Seattle Times: "It's getting to be time to have a legal hanging in this state." Senator Clarke of Montana, Is ac cused of paying $750,000 for his seat in the senate. It has come to pass that it costs as much to buy a seat in the sen ate as it does to obtain one at a prize fight, Tacoma Ledger: A captain of the Second United States infantry, who was convicted of financial irregulari ties, used to mess with Carter, and will again join Carter's mess at Leaven worth prison. Of course, if Admiral Dewey Is in clanger of suit for damages, on account of a breach of promise, why that's dif ferent. Nobody could expect him to try to hang on to that house under such circumstances. Evangelist Moody has carried the grospel into many benighted places in the land but when he tackled Kansas City, the job of reforming it was too much for him and he has gone home to recuperate. "With the currency refrom bill, colon ial matters, the Nicaragua canal and Pacific cable taking precedence, it is not improbable that the postal savings bank will again be sidetracked at the approaching session of congress. If George Fred Williams should be come Mr. Bryan's running mate next year, the country is likely to witness the spectacle of two trains rushing about the country each bearing a rear platform speaker.

Bynum of Indiana, one of the Gold Democratic wheel horses in the campaign of 1SI6 has at last receiv ed his reward. President McKinley has appointed him to a life position at $7, 000 a year in which there is nothing to do. It has been a long time coming but proves to be worth waiting for. Those party renegades like Powderly who reached the pie counter early in the game did not do so well. GLOBE SIGHTS tFrom the Atchison Globe. 1 How pleasantly we think of picnics In winter, and how tiresome they are in summer! After a girl has been married three or four weeks, a look appears on her face indicating that she thinks maybe Bhe made a mistake. A man ought to have some one around him all the time, to keep him from doing things that are not good for him. This is the 'season when the sausage and buckwheat cake tempta tion is great. The members of the church at Duff er ville met lately, to elect a new pastor, the last one having resigned by request. Indeed, the last three had been unsat isfactory, and had resigned by request. For five years, there had been quarrel ing in the church, and a disagreeable feeling among the members. Old Dea con Hardsense arose at the meeting, Bjud said; "iireUaren. ,w have beta worrying for five years past trying to pet rid of pastors we did not like. We did more quarreling and backbiting than was good for us, and we did not advance the cause of religion or moral ity. Now, what is the matter with trying to get along without a pastor?" The other deacons scratched their heads awhile. -and finally one of them said: "Well, I'm glad some one thought of that. Sure enough: why not try this plan? If a pastor only makes us quarrelsome and uncomfortable, why hire one at all?" POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. J The mining shark generally does a hole sale business. Two heads may be better than one, but not in the same family. A servant girl trust wouldn't do a thing to the crockery trust. A woman forgets she has a headache when she is wearing a new hat. If a boy's mother admits he is a trifle w lid he must be pretty tough. The less there is in a dude's pockets the better his clothes fit him. Said a man with the gout: "The pain is something awful, but I can't Kick." "Know thyself" and the chances are you'll have one more undesirable ac quaintance. Always purchase umbrellas in dry weather, as they are sure to go up whenever it rains. There are times when this world seems very small one of the times is when you are trying to dodge your creditors. No woman should ever be allowed to vote until she is able to sharpen a lead pencil for the purpose of scratching her ticket. A man is liable to cast his bread upon the waters during his first ocean voy age, but it's his first excursion in a balloon that makes him soar. BACHELOR BUTTONS. From the New Tork Press. A man may smile when his heart is breaking, but a woman can smile when she has cold feet. The man that a woman generally ends by caring most for is the one that she began by not caring to care for. The only time a man can ever find a woman's pocket is when her hand is in it, and even then he may make a terrible mistake. The man that makes the best hus band isn't always the one that when he was a boy used to make one piece of candy last him a week A woman's bosom friend is a good deal like a man's dog. Just as soon as they begin to take real comfort with it, it either runs away or else some of the neighbors poison it. JAYHAWKEE JOTS. The Chanute Tribune warns its sub scribers that it has a big surprise in store for them. A "boy soprano" is touring Southern Kansas. Ed. Greer must be making money. He is not printing any politics in his paper now. Chester Long's private secretary is writing letters to Seventh district pa pers. There is a golf club at Hutchinson, but Billy Morgan has not learned the game. Kansas politicians evidently believe in trusts. The latest is a combination of bosses to down the other bosses. Wouldn't it be fun to see a man like Charley Finch governor? Every profes sional politician in the state would be out of a job. Kansas has some of the brightest wo men editors in the country, but they al lowed Ingalls to slander their sex with out talking back. A man in Harrisburg. Pennsylvania, has given Bethany college at Linrls borg a half section of land, and it is not in the sand hills either. The editor of the Horton Leader has taken his life in his hands by boldly asserting that the father of a Powhat tan rival was arrested for being drunk. A Oreenwod county man files a claim to fame because he raised fifty bushels of onions, each one of which averaged 12 inches in circumference and a pound in weight. Newton gets enjoyment by pondering over the times when things took a backward turn and nearly all her banks closed their doors. Newton is on the up-grade now. In a quarrel in the Winfield city council over a shooting gallery the shooting gallery advocates won. Win field does not propose to allow her peo ple to forget how to fire a rifle. The Salina Union announces that hereafter "cards of thanks" and "reso lutions of condolence" will be charged for at advertising rates. The Union man has nerve and he is right. Up at Salina the council has refused to give the A. D. T. a franchise to de liver notes and parcels. This is a di rect slap at the young women and men who will have to continue to leave their love missives in unsuspecting tin cans. Walnut Valley Times: The people are bound to kick. A man who was in the Times office today said he raised 5,000 bushels of corn on 100 acres. He was glad that he had raised a good crop, but said with a sigh that it was awful hard on the land. Salina has evidently outgrown the Uncle Tom age. as the following from the Republican-Journal indicates: "The Uncle Tom show that appeared at the opera house last night was the bummiest affair that has been in Salina for a good many years. It was a fake from start to finish." Charley Finch thinks that Chester Long will queer himself in the Seventh district if he persists in his determina tion to work for the Nicaragua canal, because it is the idea of the Seventh district that the inter-oceanic canal should follow up the Arkansas river to its source and then cut across the country to the Pacific. Any attempt to destroy this plan will meet with de feat at the hands of the Seventh dis trict voters. Historic item by Ewing Herbert: The old Higby hotel burned at Troy Tues day morning, was originally the first court house in the county. It was in early days a one-story frame structure, situated on the block north of the pub lic square. In this building Abraham Lincoln was welcomed by the people of northeastern Kansas in 1S59, and there he miule a characteristic speech. Also, where he entertained his admirers with his feet resting on the judicial bench. Jim Lane, John Brown, Judge Pettit, Judge Le Compte and many others celebrated in the early history of Kan sas, were visitors at this historic old jourt house, a small, unpretentious building, which was transrormed into a hotel by the late Charles Higby. who was known the county over as a most hospitable landlord. KANSASJJEWS. Independence Has a Hydropho bia Scare. Every Day From One to Six Cases Are Developing. ARE GENUINE RABIES. Orer Fifty Animals Killed Within the Past Month. Pigs, Horses and Cows Affected Terrible Suffering. Independence, Nov. 23. Hydrophobia among cattle and other animals is be coming an alarming matter with farm ers and other people who own stock. In the past two weeks quite a number of animals have been killed. People inclined to be skeptical In the matter have complained of killing every cow, horse or hog which became sick and calling its disease hydrophobia; and to give a more thorough test the cow be longing to Clarence King, which was a suspected case, was allowed to linger through yesterday and last night; and after six o'clock last evening she passed from one violent convulsion to another and died at an early hour this morning in one of the convulsions. Dr. Leeper who took a special and thorough course on hydrophobia in a veterinary college, and who fully understands the disease in all its stages, says there is no possi ble doubt about the prevailing malady being genuine rabies. This morning two hogs belonging to S. W. Irby became mad. They were bitten twenty-three days ago, by the dog which was chased all over the east end of town at that time by Mr. Irby and Constable John Anderson, and tin ally allowed to escape, but afterwards killed on Michael Naut's farm the fol low ing afternoon, after biting a large number of dogs in the east part of the city, and possibly a number of cat tle. During the last month more than fifty head of cattle suffering from the dis ease have been killed east of town, and every day from one to a half dozen cases of rabies are developed. Pigs, horses and cows are affected. KLONDIKE OASES. First One to Come Up For Hearing on Monday. Leavenworth, Nov. 23. The prosecu tion of the Klondike jointists has been set for next week in the district court. The prosecution which will then be brought will be on the complaints which were filed by County Attorney Wen dorff acting for Attorney General God ard of the state through F. B. Dawes. These complaints are five in number and are brought under the section of the prohibitory law which prohibits the sale of malt, vinous or other intoxi cating liquors. In the complaints which were filed by the county attorney there are sixteen counts against each of fender. One of the counts is for main taining a place where such liquors are sold, under the law a nuisance. The first of these suits which will be tried in the district court will be brought up Monday and is against John and Mary Hoddle, and Mrs. Karst. For the first time in years the last Sunday's quiet in the Klondike was un broken and citizens riding by the long disreputable resort were surprised to notice the stillness and air of Sunday repose that pervaded the place. PIERSON DISCHARGED. Mail Obstruction Case Decided in the Kanaaa'a Favor. Fort Scott, Nov. 23. John Pierson, a Wilson county farmer, who was arrest ed six months ago for obstructing the mails, was induced to plead guilty in the federal court here today, but Judge illiams, upon hearing a statement of the facts, required him to withdraw his plea and discharged him. He was hauling a load of corn to Fredonia, and was stopped on a railroad crossing b a freight train, which held him a half hour. A fast mail came along and he re fused to back off. The engineer whis tled and cursed, but the farmer refused to budge until the freight train was cut in two. The district attorney insisted that he had impeded the mails, but the court suggested that the freight train had impeded Mr. Pierson. MEET AT PITTSBURG.

Mr. Lee was the promoter of a large and influential company involving the ownership of the rich mineral and coal lands of the famous Hocking valley.

Armourdale Young Man Held For Trying to Dispose of a Large Amount of Postage. Leavenworth, Nov. 23. Chief Crans ton of the police force arrested a young man 21 years old named Frank Golden yesterday afternoon and is holding him for investigation. Golden was trying to dispose of a number of postage stamps which, he said, his mother had sent him in a letter to pay his board with. He had two sheets of fifty stamps each and several smaller sheets, altogether numbering 191 stamps of the value of $3.S2. The boy also had 14 cents in money. Chief Cranston does not be lieve a parent in the ordinary walks of life would have nearly 200 postage stamps on hand at one time, or that she would go to the postoflice and buy that many to send through the mails when a money order would be more easily handled. Golden said his mother's name is Kerry and that her home is 1028 South Eighth street .Armourdale. He said he came here Sunday to look for work. He is comfortably dressed and had on a light overcoat and cap. SUES THE CITY. Emporia Marshal Wants the Munici pality to Pay Fees of Witnesses. Emporia, Nov. 23. Dan Dryer, city marshal, will bring suit against the city to pay the fees of his witnesses in the assault and battery case, in which he was defendant at the last session of the District court. Dryer was convicted, in the police court, of assault and battery, but ap pealed the case to the District court. The jury, after being out a long time, acquitted Dryer of the charge. At the time of the trial the marshal had, of course, a number of witnesses who testified in his behalf The fees of the witnesses amounted to some thing over $34. He refused to pay the fees, alleging that the city is liable for the witness fees of both sides of the case. Accordingly, he presented a bill for the amount to the city council, but that body refused to allow the fees on the ground that it was not liable for them. WELLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL. May Yet Be Defeated Over a Tech nicality of Defective Ballots. Wellington, Nov. 23 S. S. Kincaid, with the assistance of Sheriff Heskett, is looking over the vote on the? county high school with the view of testing it. Their contention is that the defect ive ballots which were thrown out should not be added to the number of total votes cast. The number of defective ballots thrown out is 52. If they succeed in having these ballots deducted from the total number cast, the school will be defeated, and its only hope will be in having the special act submitting the question to a vote knocked out on the ground of its unconstitutionality.

Friends of Mr. Hobart "Will Take Their Last Look la His Library. Faterson, N. J., Nov. 23. The body of the late Garret A. Hobort lies In a hand some casket of oak, the plate bearing this inscription; 1844. GARJtET A. HOB ART, The following official statement was given out at the Hobart residence by Pri vate Secretary Evans last night: "The funeral services over the body of the late vice president will be held at the Church of the Redeemer, Paterson, on Saturday, November 25, at 2:30 p. m. "Inasmuch as the seating accommoda tions of the church are entirely inade quate, it will be necessary that seats be reserved for the various national, state and local officials, representatives of the organizations with which Mr. Hobart was connected and intimate persona.1 friends of the family. It is expected, therefore, It will be impossible to provide for the general public until various officials, rep resen ta t i ves and friends have been ac commodated. "Previous to the public exercises on Saturday a brief service will be held at the lfobart mansion only for the family, the president and his cabinet and inti mate personal friends. "On Friday afternoon the body of the vice president will be placed in the li brary of his home, where the public may have an opportunity to view it. The in terment will be itt the convenience of the family at Cedar Lawn cemetery." Four companies of regular soldiers from Governor's Island will take part in the funeral ceremony and will probably act as an escort from the late residence of the vice president to the church. The mil itary will also act as an escort to Presi dent McKinley and his party. It is expected that President McKJnley and his cabinet, the supreme court jus tices and ol her officials from Washing ton will arrive before noon on Saturday. A special train bearing the senators and representatives and other United States officials will start from New York and committees will be on hand at Paterson to take charge of those on board. Dr. Newton, the vice president's physi cian, today tiled the certificate of deatR, giving the cause of death as "dilation or heart, due to myocarditis." Mr. Hobart was a member of the Order of free and Accepted Masons of hit?h rank, a thirty-second degree Scottish Rite Mason and a Knight Templar. In reply to inquiries of representatives of various Masonic bodies, it has been explained to them that the family deem it best not to have a Masonic funeral. I'p to the pres ent the names of the pall bearers have not been announced. Mr. Hobart two months ago when he feared something might happen named six of his most in timate friends in New Jersey and it is believed that these will act as his pall bearers. Mrs. Hobart is bearing up well under her great trouble, and today was able to see a few of her most intimate friends in cluding Attorney General Griggs and Mrs. Griggs, and Rev. lr.

Donald McPhail Tells About the Klondike "BlufE" The State Journal is in receipt of a communication from Donald McPhail, who is an inmate of the soldiers' home at Leavemvorth, regarding the present condition of the dives at Klondike, near the home. "Eight 'small fry' were recently pull ed," he writes. "They were given due notice in advance and were put under a small bond. Then they returned to the business of poisoning and robbing the old soldiers as usual. There are 23 dives now running in Delaware town ship. "Pensions will be paid at the home the latter part of this week or the first of next. At this writing thieves and rough women are landing here from Kansas City and other places, and they will bave full sway without fear of mo lestation from those in authority from governor down to constable." Mr. McPhail also tells of a dance which he says was held at the state penitentiary last Saturday night in cel ebration of the completion of the peni tentiary binding plant, and at which some of the church members are in censed. Mr. McPhail claims that the celebration was originally an oyster supper, but that the "oysters" had a hilarious effect on the company and the dance followed, in which, Mr. Mc Phail alleges, some of the convicts were allowed to participate and dance with the wives of some of the guards and others who were present. Mr. McPhail says this is the first time a dance was ever held inside the walls of the state prison. Died From Hazing. Princeton, N. J., Nov. 23 Martin "V.

Chamberlain's Pain Balm Cures Oth ers, Why Not You. Mv wife has been using Chamberlain's Pain Balm, with good results, for a lame shoulder that has pained her continually for nine vears. We have tried all kinds of medicines and doctors without receiv ing any benefit from any of them.

Miilett, Man chester, N H. For saie by ail druggists. THE ills of women overshadow their whole lives. Some women are constantly getting medical treat ment and are never well. "A woman best understands women's ills," and the women who consult Mrs. Pinkham find her counsel practical assistance. Mrs. Pinkham's address is Mass. Mrs. Mabel Good, Correctionville, la., tells how Mrs. Pinkham saved her life. She says I cannot thank you enough for what your medicine has done for me. I can recommend it as one of the best medicines on earth for all women's ills. I suffered for two years with female weakness and at last became bedfast.

After taking a few bottles of your medicine, I was L .-ix I" li.v -rt y x evening and recommended Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, saying that she knew that it would cure me. I then sent for your medicine and after taking five bottles of it, I wa3 entirely cured. I cannot praise it enough." MONEY FOR BONDS In Xew York Is Being Invested in City Securities. New York, Nov. 23. The subtreasury purchased bonds calling for the dis bursement of $400,000 yesterday. Of this amount $100,000 was paid for 5 per cent bonds. Yesterday's transactions, on account of bond purchases, gave a debit balance against the subtreasury of $2,050,714 at the clearing house. This is the second large debt balance that the subtreasury has had since the bond purchases released some of the treasury cash in this city. Today's pay ments bring the subtreasury bond dis bursements to about $9,300,000. It was pointed out in banking circles that the financing of the city loan, re quiring $rs,050.900, caused stiff rates for money. City bonds have thirty years to run .paying 3 per cent interest, and costing but 106. Four per cent govern ment bonds redeemable under the treasury circular have only eight years to run and bring 113. the 5 per cent ma ture in five years and sell for HI. For this reason it will be seen that a sav ings bank could easily afford to turn over its 4 and 5 per cent bonds to the government inventing the proceeds in long term municipal secur. ties at a profitable basis. A local savings insti tution is said to have secured most of the city bonds. The proceeds of the sale will go into the regular municipal de positories. LEADF1L1P1X0S. Dishonorably Discharged American Soldiers Join the Enemy. Lynn, Mass., Nov. 23. Edward S. Chester of this city, formerly a private in Company M, Seventeenth United States infantry, and who has just re turned from the Philippines, whem he was two months on the firing line, says the American soldiers, who for crimes of one sort or another have been dis honorably discharged from the army, officer many of the Filipino commands. The rebel commanders offer large in ducements in the way of salary and po sitions to any who will -forsake the American army. Chester says these Americans are a reckless class, and in a great part to their energy is due the tenacity of the rebellion. He said these American soldiers led the Filipinos in several off the fiercest engagements, and play an important part in keeping alive the spirit of the rebellion among the fragments of Aguinaido's com mands. Yankton Bank Closes. Minneapolis. Minn., Nov. 23. A spe cial from Yankton, S. D., to the Journal says that the Yankton Savings bank closed its doors at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon.

STIRS UP PATRIOTISM. Mrs. Potter Arouses the Feeling of a British Audience. London, Nov. 23. In the Empire the ater last night there was a most re markable patriotic American, demon stration. The management of the Empire en gaged Mrs. Brown Potter to recite a stirring composition in verse by Mr. Henry Hamilton. The whole of the house was crowded to overflowing with the nobility. When Mrs. Brown Rotter appeared in white satin flowing robes, trimmed with sable, and with a red rose in her hair an danother over her heart, the house cheered like one man. On each side of her stood a soldier in khaki uniform, one holding the English flag and the other the Stars and Stripes. Mrs. Brown Potter went through the piece, "Ordered to the Front." in fine, declamatory style, with a good deal of stage effect. When she closed with the final words, "God Save the Queen," the whole house rose and sang "God Save the Queen" time and time again. She was recalled. When the curtain went up the second she clasped the two flags and wound them together, and upon that the audi ence made another wildly enthusiastic demonstration. Rheumatism Cured in 24 Hours. T. J.

"IRONQUILi." 10 cent Cigars. The history of the stage records many instances of entertainers singing and dancing and Joking -fend jesting their way into public favor. But it re mained for Jefferson De Angelis, in his part as a stellar light in the comic op era world to veritably slide his way into the hearts of his audience. This is what he did at the Crawford theater Wednesday night. Not that his wonderful sliding propensities are his only stock in trade, for his interloping jests are so keen as to cut into the very core of the human sense of humor, and his physical and mental nimbleness is a continual demand for mirth. But he has the most bewildering knack of skating about the stage witnout rollers, displayed at first after the fatal "sis- JEFFERSON DE ANGELIS. sisinfras" and continuous at intervals thereafter until the time of the final curtain, which at once engenders a fear for his personal safety and the knowl edge that there are some circumstances under which seriousness is an impossi bility. "The Jolly Musketeer" is individually an entertaining swashbuckler. Collect ively, as a comic opera, it is musically and scenicly a success. The audience that saw it last night was large enough to completely fill the house. It is far from being a matter of won der that "The Jolly Musketeer" has proven one of the biggest comic opera successes of the past two years. In the role of "Henri, Count De Beaupret" Jefferson De Angelis has a part which j fits his capabilities admirably. Julian Edwards, the composer, has given the opera a solid, tuneful score, with an in spiration here and melody there. Stan islaus Stange, who is responsible for j the book, displays no miserly propensi ties in the matter of good lines. The chorus work is strong, and the ensem bles particularly well arranged. The period in which the opera is laid gives generous opportunity for effective cos tuming, and this has been thoroughly taken advantage of. Mr. De Angelis has his special brand of humor. It is as unlike that of De Wolf Hopper as Hopper's humor is like that of Frank Daniels. If it approaches the style of any of the other comic op era comedians it is that of Francis Wil son. It is buffoonery of a jolly kind. It amounts to an ability to provoke laugh ter in an instantaneous manner and to an unlimited extent. The rather diminutive comedian is on the stage much of the time, and that alone means that there is much enter tainment in "The Jolly Musketeer." The author and composer have supplied him with several selections of a topical class, probably the most popular being his duet with Harry McDon ough in the second act. All of these, especially the latter, insure his repeated reappearance, as was proven by the manner in which last night's audience received them. The principals supporting Mr. De An gelis are wholly capable in their re spective parts. Harry McDonough is extremely funny as "Didot Blanc," and the fine stage appearance and fine bari tone voice of Hubert Wilke show to ad vantage in the role of "Francois." The soprano of Miss Grace Studdiford is pleasing, although not exceptional and Miss Maud Hollins makes an accept able "Verve." Miss Studdiford and Miss Hollins. with Lenore Soulier and Miss Hilda Hollins, are heard in a pret ty quartette, "Wicked, Wicked Men," accompanied by a graceful dance, in the second act. There was a noticeable lack of dis play of female anatomy in the costum ing of "The Jolly Muketeer" chorus. It forms an acceptable diversion from the usual manner of comic opera chorus dressing.

Security Building. ACME OF LUXURY. From the New York Sun. Th new steam yacht Margarita that is being built at the yard of Scott Co., Greenock, Scotland, for Anthony J. Drexel, of Philadelphia, will be com pleted early in the spring, and when in commission will be one of the finest yachts in the fleet of the New York Yacht club. The Margarita, which is the second vessel of that name that Mr. Drexel has owned. Is designed by Geo. L. Watson. who also furnished the plans for the Mayflower, Nahma and Va runa. Mr. Drexel was a long time deciding just what accommodation his yacht was to have and the plans show that considerable thought was given to the interior arrangement of the yacht. The dimensions of the new Margarita are: Length over all, 323 feet; length on the load-water line 272 feet; extreme beam 36 feet 7 inches; draught, 16 feet 3 inches. The engines are to be 5,000 in dicated horse power, which are to drive the yacht at the rate of 17 knots over an SO-knot course. She will be much larger than the Nahma. Varuna, Cor sair or any other yacht in the New York Yacht club fleet, with the excep tion of the Valiant, which is 332 feet all over. The Margarita has three decks and every inch of room is utilized to the best advantage. There are two bridges, one for navigating purposes and the other for the guests on the yacht. On the bridge will be a chart room and under it the smoking room. The deck houses are all of steel covered with paneled teak, and in the after deck house will be a boudoir. Over this will be a promenade deck. On the cabin deck forward will be the forecastle. Then come rooms for the firemen, stewards, petty officers, and further aft on the starboard side will be the pan try, fruit room and wine cellar, and on the port side will be rooms for the val ets and maids, with a sitting room for the maids. Above this deck will be the owner's stateroom, and forward of this will be the messroom for the officers and crew. Aft the engine space will be the din ing room, and still further aft the draw ing room and several staterooms. Be low will be six large staterooms and a room for trunks. The drawing room ex tends the full width of the ship and is to be finished in Louis XV. style. The library or main hall is to be furnished in Empire style and the dining room in Chippendale. The wood work in this room is to be carved Spanish mahog any and it is to have a glass dome. Mrs. Drexel's stateroom Is to be fur nished in Louis XV. style and her bou doir in Louis XVI. style. The smoke room is to be finished in old English. Every modern convenience will be on the yacht, which will have an electric light plant with S00 lights and an ice plant with a capacity of 1,200 pounds a day. All the rooms are to be ventilated by the "blow down and uptake" sys tem and heated by steam. The Mar garita will carry eight boats, including a steam launch for the crew and a li quid fuel launch for the owner. This launch is 35 feet long and has already shown a speed of 13 knots on her trial trip. The yacht will be armed with two breechloading guns, two Colts rap id fire guns, 30 Lee-Metford rifles and 30 revolvers of the army pattern. It is expected that the yacht will be launch ed in February and be ready to go in commission early in June. THE MEXICO OF TODAY. Don I. Mariscal in the Independent. 1 With freedom of worship, free speech, compulsory education, universal suf frage and" a constitution and form of government modeled on those of the United States, Mexico is marching joy ously forward along the path of pro gress, and will be found quite ready for the twentieth century when it arrives. She is worthy to stand beside her great sister republic and what prouder boast than that can a nation make? So far as natural advantages are concerned there is no country in all the world that compares with Mexico; all the fruits and plants indigenous to America, between the tropics and the poles, are to be found growing in her soil, and her situation, perched so high between the Pacific ocean and the Gulf of Mexico, saves her alike from the ex treme heat and cold that are to be found at any altitude in the United States. There is little difference be tween the temperatures of summer and winter throughout the larger part of her area, the greatest variation of the thermometer being caused by day and night. All that the poets have written about the beauties of natural scenery might with entire truth be applied to the val ley in which the City of Mexico is sit uated. It is lovely, and its guardian mountains are infinitely solemn and grand. But as Senor Matias Romero, former Mexican minister at Washing ton, remarks in his recently published book, which tells so much about our country: "Each traveler in his turn describes the valley (of Mexico) in which he has tarried longest as the loveliest in all the world: nowhere else do the snowy crests or volcanic cones LONESOME NOW centers have switched off to another line of business Well no doubt the anyway One can advertise a train load of henskin shoes and be safe.

Call or address for terms and prices O OXYGENOR CO., rise in more imposing grandeur above the surrounding sea of verdure, all car peted with the brightest flowers." Mexico is besides the sanitarium of the world, and many invalids, especial ly consumptives, are cured there. But nature was not contented with all this, she also made Mexico the world's treasure house. For 300 years she has produced one-third of all the silver that was mined. The production at present is more than $60,000,000 per annum. When Li Hung Chang was in Washington he asked Senor Romero how much silver Mexico was mining and how long she could keep up the supply. Senor Romero, trying to be conservative, replied that Mexico was turning out $50,000,000 per year and could keep it up for 200 years. Li would not hear of such a thing. He insisted that our minister had been so long away from his own country that he had forgotten details and that he must be mistaken about the abundance of silver. Mexico expects to supply the world with $100,000,000 of silver per annum soon. Not much has been done in the way of gold mining in Mexico, and the Spaniards never found the great de posits from which Montezuma filled his treasure house. But the gold is there and the rush and scramble for it may still come, filling up the country as fast as California filled up. In Oaxaca there is known to be a gold belt as rich as those of South Africa. California and Alaska combined. What has been wanting in Mexican mining is modern machinery and methods. By means of these many rich mines that had to be abandoned because the inrush of water was too great for the primitive ma chinery to contend with, will be pumped out and worked again. Iron In mounds and mountains and gems as one might say. by the wagon load, copper In the very greatest abundance, quicksilver, lead what you will Mexico's mineral treasures are far beyond count. Carelessness and ignorance of the past denuded the great central plateau of the forest which grew upon it. The wood was used lor fuel and the country is now suffering on account of this action. Rail roads and new industry are aggravating that situation. For one thing. It has so seriouslv affected the rainfall as to pro duce arid lands where were formerly good farms, and for another thing it has made fuel so scarce that coal is now sold at from to $22 a ton. which, of course is a very serious difficulty in the way of developing industries. But the fuel problem can easily be solv ed by working new coal fields recently discovered and extending our railroads to the old ones, and the leading men of the countrv are alive to the importance of doing this. In Sonora alone there is a carboniferous area of several miles in ex tent, with innumerable veins from five to sixteen feet in thickness of hard, clean, anthracite coal containing as high a per centage of carbon as the best that is fur nished bv Wales. And that is only one of many large coal fields to be found in Mexico. Humboldt said In 1524 that the universi ties and scientific institutions of Mexico, were then the best In America, That, perhaps is no longer true. The rapid growth of the United States in popula tion and wealth has enabled the univer sities here to pay the highest prices and fill their professors' chairs with the best talent. W ith 12.0"0.000 of population. Mex ico has 1 .000.000 children in primary schools supported bv the federal government and the states, and In addition to these there are S1.0OO in private schools, and 18.000 of both sexes in the one hundred and thirty six technical schools established and maintained by the nation and the various states. These free techrjeal schools are not al together an unmixed blessing. as the young men of all classes attend them, and after taking their courses set out to pursue a literary or professional career, and so. for the time being, the nation Is furnished with many more doctors, law yers, etc.. than can get a living with their profession; but the rapid development of 0 v up a harvest" of profit, what on sale in progress No more No less Now, if they sale at a $12.50 price that is a They'll stand the test, too. a $10 Suit for $10 a $20 Overcoat 703 Kansas Avenue o o o o o o o o o o o L Columbian Building Topeka, Kansas. o o o "A Skin of Eoautr i at Jov Porer r.

G TOPEKA STATE JOURNAI THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 23, 1899. WAS HEREBEFORE Jefferson DeAnjjells Tells Abont His Visit to Topeka. Was in the Grasshopper Year and Tilings Were Gloomy. TRAVELED IN WAGONS Hoppers Barely Allowed the Company to Escape Alife. gays He May Write a Boot of His Experiences. Some day Jefferson De Angelis. the comic opera curaedijn seen here last night may write an autobiography. And Jefferson De Angelis announces that if that day ever arrives. Mark Twain's "Roughing If will simply not be "in it." "I can discount Mark Twain without half trying by simply writing what I have seen and ey perienced," said Mr. De Angelis at his room in the Throop hotel last night. "I have often thought that I would turn author because the various adventures I have had are all fresh in my memory. Some day. when the public refuses to longer accept me in comic opera, I think I will put them together and publish them. However, I may not wait until that time, and may turn historian some summer when I am not rehearsing a new opera. "Twenty-live years ago I passed through this territory, and distinctly remember of having been in Atchison and Topeka. Your old residents here know- what happened 25 years ago. It was the grasshopper year, and I never have seen suc h il. solution in my life as I saw through Kansas a .id Colorado. 1 was then traveling with my father's company, and our mode of transporta tion was two canvas covered wagons. The grasshoppers ruined us, and when we finally got out of the territory th- covered, we had but little canvas left (in our wagons and were almost desti tute. "I remember we called the company "The New York Comedy company,' continued Mr. De Angelis. "I was do ing a song and dance. (German special ties, and almost anything else that came necessary and no one else would try. I had never known anything else, because I was practically born in the theatrical business. My father had a company before the war, and after the war organized another. I left him for a while to take a clown part in the cir cus, but when he started on the tour through the west I joined him again. 1 believe I would rather have remained a circus clown than to have gone through the experiences that we did grasshopper year. "At Atchison we played to $11. In To peka 1 think our receipts amounted to something less than that amount. Some of the people were on the verge of Ptarvatit.n, and scarcely any one had money to spend on amusement. I re member that the day we were in To peka I bought two apples and sat down in front of a little hotel here to eat them. I put one of the apples in my pocket and cut the other in two. In cut ting it one of the halves fell to the ground, and almost instar.tly it was covered by a swarm of grasshoppers. I give you my word of lienor that in less than five minutes the half apple was gone. I ate the other half, and when I put my hand in my pocket for the second apple. I found several stray grasshoppers had preceded me, and the fruit was partially eaten. "During our trip through Kansas I repeatedly saw entire corn fields and cabbage patches devoured in a small tmace of time. The grasshoppers were so thick at times that they formed a cloud. At night I would always find several dozen of them in my pockets and about my clothes. "Our destination was California, and it took us almost a year to reach there from the Missouri river. After we got into the central part of the state there was no business at all. and we lived principally on jack rabbits. The rab bits were so thick that you could almost kill them with a club. We kept on be cause it was just as well to go on- as to turn back. When we finally got out side the grasshopper territory we were entirely out of money, our clothes were ragged, our wagons dilapidated and our horses half starved. Talk about strand ed 'boomers.' I'll wager that the stranded New York Comedy company was t'n sorriest outfit that ever crossed the plains." Mr. De Angelis says that he has done everything in the theatrical line except tragedy. He entered comic opera sev eral years ago. and when Ixlla Fox secured "The Little Trooper" he won praise in her support. Prior to taking "The Jolly Musketeer" he was one of the triumvirate of stars in "The Wed ding Day," Delia Fox and Lillian Rus sell being the other two. A year ago he appeared in his present opera in. New York, and was received with the greatest favor there as he has been in. all cities he has visited. FIREWOHKS KOilANCE. There May Be One Lurking Hero Says O. K. Swayz;. When the fire works which were used for the Twentieth Kansas recep tion, were being prepared for firing. Secretary Swayze, of the flambeau club, noticed some writing on one of the bombs. He investigated and found the following: Miss Rose Tucker, P. O. Box 299, Richmond Station, Staten Island. Mr. Swayze made a note of the ad dress on a piece of paper just before the bomb was fired, but in the excite ment he put the parer in his pocket and forgot it until today. Richmond Station. Staten Island, is the place where the fire works are man ufactured, and it is supposed that Miss Tucker is the girl wlio made the bomb in question. Mr. Sw.-iyze thought there might be a f oundati on for a romance in connection with t he bomb, but be ing a married man h imself and thereby unable to strike up a romance of his own, he intended to give the address to some bachelor f ri ?nd "If Miss Rose is anything like that bomb." said Mr. Swayze. 'I'll recom mend her as being all right. That bomb was a five-break:, and was one of the prettiest ones w- had." "Cure the cough and save the life."

Philadelphia, Nov. 23. James Mc Manes. who for many years was the acknowledged Republican leader of this city, died today in his TSth year. Mr. McManes was a delegate to the Repub lican national convention which nom inated Lincoln and also to .the one which selected Garfield. At the latter he was one of the framers of the mani-ft-sto in opposition to Grant. He organized the Peoples Bank and was Its president until its failure near ly two years ago after its cashier, John Hopkins, had committed suicide. With the affairs of the bank in a very much involved condition and owing consider able money Mr. McManes then feeble and as many believed, near death's door, took from his private fortune over $500, 000 and reimbursed depositors and oth er creditors and closed the bank's doors forever without its owing a dollar. mXOY COLLAPSES. Great Pugilist Hay Never En ter the King Again. New Tork, Nov. 23. A report comes from White Plains that Kid McCoy, w ho has been training at William Muldoon's farm for the match with Peter Maher on December 11, has collapsed physical ly and will probably never be able to enter the ring again. It is said that his nervous system is almost a complete wreck. NEW BALL CIRCUIT. Four Strong Cities in the West and Four in the Fast Chicago, Nov. 23. The Times-Herald says: It was announced yesterday that all local entanglements in the national game of base ball politics would be set tled before the league meeting in New York. The statement was made that in the next two weeks the American league will hare held its meeting here and settled upon the details of locating a club in Chicago. It was also learned that Tom Loftus is expected to sign a contract with President Hart of the lo cal club as manager of the Orphans for the coming season in a few days. It may even be possible that Loftus will be here today to finish up the deal. Loftus will still retain his interest in the Grand Rapids club. The club will be managed by "White Wings" Tebeau, and undoubtedly will be transferred to Cleveland. The new circuit as made up by the American league, will consist of Min neapolis, Milwaukee, Kansas City and Chicago in the west, and Detroit, In dianapolis, Cleveland and Buffalo in the east. There is a bare possibility that Louisville might be substituted for Buffalo. DEWEY ACCEL'TS. Will Enter the Show Business Again Feburary22- Washington. Nov. 23. A delegation from Wheeling. W. Va., today called on Admiral Dewey and extended an invi tation to him to visit that city on Feb ruary 22 next. The admiral accepted the invitation. He was presented by the committee with a superb Sevres jardi nier. Lieut. Crawford, today gave out the following statement on behalf of the admiral: "Admiral Dewey has received many hundreds of letters and telegrams from persons in all walks of life and in every section of the country from Maine to Texas, assuring him that he is not without defenders and expressing their sincere sympathy with him in connec tion with the recent attack upon him. These letters and telegrams are far too numerous to receive personal acknowl edgment, but the adimral is deeply grateful to their senders, and desires to assure them of his hearty appreciation of their kind consideration for him." IT ALL DEPENDS. Chicago University May Send Foot, ball Eleven to California. Pan Francisco. Nov. 23. Negotiations are now in progress looking to a meet ing in this state before the end of the year between the football elevens of the universities of California and Chicago. It all now depends on whether or not the faculty of the Chicago university will permit the players from that city to come to the Pacific coast. HE IS ltlCIl NOW. A Young Farmer Comes Into Mil lions. St. Paul. Minn., Nov. 23. A Chippewa Falls, Wis., special to the Dispatch says Frank Steinmetz, a young farmer who resides in the town of Tilden, received a letter last night from Paris inform ing him that he is a millionaire twice over. Steinmetz's grandfather was a wealthy resident of France before the Franco-Prussian war. and during that conflict all his property was seized and later confiscated by the French gov ernment. Ten years ago a uit was commenced in the French courts for the recovery of the property and not until last week was a favorable deci sion reached. The property, which is valued at about lS.0O0.0oO francs, will be divided between Steinmetz and two brothers, who reside in Germany. YOUTHFUL TRUANTS. Two Boys Who Would Rather Camp Out Than Attend School. Edward Tyler, aged in, and Frank "Widenor, aged S, ran away from school yesterday and were not found until this morning. They are the children of C. B. Tyler and Mail Carrier Widenor. The young sters attend Clay school, but they are not over anxious to study. They would rather "play hookey" so they did. Their parents were almost distracted and hunted all day. The police were noti fied. The parents kept up the search all night, but could not find the missing children. This morning they were found camped in the engine house of the sand dredge in the city park. They had been there all night. This is not the first time they have run away. A week ago they disappeared and were found in a box car in the Santa Fe yards. Mr. Tyler called at the police station this morning and was told that his son had been found and sent home. He left immediately for home with some remark about "A hot time." A MATTER OF POLICY. To Refrain From Sending War Ships to South Africa. Washington, Nov. 23. It is said at the navy department that the disincli nation of the department to order Rear Admiral Schley to South Africa has no connection whatever with the personal ity of that officer. Whoever command ed the South Atlantic squadron at this juncture would, it Is said receive simi- I lar instructions, for it is regarded as a matter of national policy to refrain from sending warships to either the Cape or to Delagoa Bay or Durban. It is felt to be unwise for the United States to initiate the sending of war ships to South Africa now. There can be little doubt that such action on our part would instantly be followed by the naval powers of the continent and French, Russia and CJerman fleets would follow each other there to the complication of the sitvsation. It is not to be inferred that this attitude of our government has been assumed as the result of any presentaitons from the British government. ABOUT CATS. Among the best known and 'widest famed of catteries in England, which year by year are becoming more num erous, as puss advances in popular fa vor and fashion, is Miss Hester Coch ran's excellent collection now housed at the cottage, Witchchampton, Wim borne. The cats mostly made their names anl their owner's while she and they were living near Salisbury, at Alder holt, and have onlv lately been trans ferred to the silvan seclusions of Witchnmpton. one of the prettiest vil lages in pretty Dorsetshire, says the Ladies' Pictorial. Silvers, shaded silvers and silver tab bies, but more especially the former, are perhaps Miss Cochran's special specialty, and she has bred and owns some of the best unmarked silvers of the day. A prettier creature in this line than Mistress Dimity, for example, it would be hard to imagine, nor one more free from every shade of contam inating color, and more evenly and purely akin to the precious metal she represents. Shown but twice, she took first, second and two specials, but has renounced an exhibtion career. A cat of character, her children in herit some quaint traits, among them a strong family attachment. Her kit ten play unweariedly together, but treat any advances from scions of other races with cold contempt; no "Dimity" kitten forms any attachment outside its own family, and consequently it is desirable to deal with them in couples! The" present infants of the ilk are a promising little pair, the female an es pecially lovely, pale and pure silver, without the slightest marking of any kind, beautifully shaped, with an ex ceptionally fine head and limbs, an im mense brush, and the promise of much coat; altogether a treasure such as all silver breeders, and silvers are cer tainly the most difficult of all Persians to produce in anything like perfection, must long, at the merest sight, to pos ses. Another merit, shared by the oth er members of the family, is her ex tremely sweet temper; even the gener ally abhorred process of the daily combing, provocative in most cats of much red rapine tooth and claw af ter nature's best traditions, is under gone in amiable resignation. That the daily toilet alone, to say nothing of all the other cares of feed ing and rearing the diet table at Witchompton is on the most liberal scale take time is easily to be imagin ed. Miss Cochran tends her pets her self, maintaining that disaster is sure to attend her absence from them, in which opinion most cat-owners will heartily concur. Partly for their at tractions per se and partly for the ben efit of the cattery, a typical little herd of goats is kept and. like the cats, these are of the very best of their kind, which, in one instance at least, that of the Nubian goat, Marmion. is one to strike the most ignorant beholder with admiration. The sultanship among the silvers, a position formerly occupied by Sweet Boy, is now given to Fitz Eustace, a line young cat. even paler in color than Dimity, with a wide head, big eyes of the most correct emerald. He was sold from the cattery at a kitten to Mrs. Marriott, but on seeing and coveting him in the spring Miss Cochran per suaded his then owner to allow her to repurchase him. Another line cat is Blue Robin, a light blue with silver ear tufts and a silver chin. He is the possessor of a tremendously wide head, unusually short legs ando a heavy coat, which alvantages secured him a challenge cup and two specials on the solitary occa sion of his making a public appearance at West minster. Another blue is Mo kanna, a kitten. The latest of Miss Cochran's hobbies is for Siamese cats, and she has gone about it most thor oughly and systematically, reading all she could on the subject its literature is not extensive and collecting infor mation in every quarter for the better understanding of this most interesting breed. Her conclusions, summed up In var ious most able and interesting articles for though "but a lassie yet" Miss Cochran is a very clever litterateur are somewhat to the effect that the Siamese themselves are slightly ob scure as to the respective merits of "kinked" and non-kinked tails, of "roy al' 'and "ordinary' 'points, and conse quently and inevitably, until some one comes forward with a tabulated schema of the Siamese as it should be, differ ences of opinion among judges are tem porarily unavoidable. Be this as it may, no admirer of the breed could fail to include Kras among the best of his race. His is a most in dependent, quaint personalitv, well worth preserving, even though doing so, in his interest owner's case, has entail ed nursing him through a severe ill ness, during which he occupied her own room, and exacted incessant attention. All the more gratifying was her ela tion, when he rose from his sick bed, somewhere about 4 o'clock of a certain morning, mounted a tall chest of draw ers, and sang! The song of the Sia mese cat is one which no pen less than that of a Carlyle, dipped in luridlv pow erful ink, could describe, and "Krags sings it with feeling and expression. His markings the dark seal-colored reliefs to a clear fawn coat, short and velvety might be better, but in form he is excellent, very large, and with a fine head and eyes of true, coerulean hue. His wife. Susa II., is a charming little person, with pretty marking and the most intense of sky-colored orbs, who came from Mrs. Sutherland, of Siamese fame, and is descended from Miss Forestier-Walker's celebrated cats as is Minthamee. her half sister, a trav eled princess, who came from France at 2 months old. and has since spent three weeks successively in London, Dumfriesshire and Glasgow with her mistress. And now we come to the gem of the cattery, as far as rarity goes, for a pure white Manx cat, named Pan, ab solutely genuine in breed, as his shape, with the hare-like hind legs, shows, is a curiosity, not to say a thing of love liness, not to be picked up every dav. Miss Cochran possessed two of these reall exquisite kittens, but under an old engagement, reluctantly parted with one, now the property of Lady Alexander. To the remaining one she is fondly attached and describes him as a most intelligent beastie. quite above the average as a companion and very lovably in all his ways. From eats to horses is a sheer de scent, but a word must be passed with the smart little trapper who is enjoying life in a flowery field hard by. Quiet, nice tempered and a pretty mover, she responds most creditably to the break ing she has had from Miss Cochran, who is an accomplished horse-woman, rides close up to hounds and can do more than make a 3 year old. HE WAS NOT READY. Aguinaldo Didn't Expect the Ameri cans So Soon. Manila, Nov. 23. 5:55 p. m. It is in tended to garrison all the towns on the railroad. Hundreds of men are in the fields harvesting rice along the rail road. The foreigners in the territory assert that Aguinaldo was not expect ing the American advance for a month when the rains would have finished. He had permitted a large part of his army to scatter to their homes and do the harvesting. The soldiers had hid den their rifles about their homes. If this is true many rifles are likely to be brought in to secure the $30 offered for each weapon seized. The fording of Pampanga river above Tarlac, by the Thirty-sixth regiment and a battalion of the Seventeenth reg iment was a noteworthy feat. The river is broad and swift. Part of the com mand was ferried on rafts and the re ma inder swam over, holding onto a life line strung across. Gen Wheaton, when Gen. MacArthur communicated with him was holding San Fabian and two or three neighbor ing towns. IVIORE CHARGES. Reported That Another Investi gation of Surgeon Rafter Is In Progress. Sensational charges that John 'A. Rafter, surgeon of the Twentieth Kan sas, by negligence and inefficiency, was responsible for the death of Mrs. Cap tain Collins on board the transport Tartar coming from Manila, have been filed with General Shafter at San Fran cisco and are being investigated by him. Movements in the investigation and inquiries sent here have permitted the story to leak out in Topeka An effort to communicate with Sur geon Rafter today failed, consequently his version of the matter does not at this time appear. The charges which General Shafter has in hand were prepared and filed by soldiers who were on the Tartar with the Kansans on the journey home. It is said these complainants are not members of the Twentieth but belonged to the regular army and made the charges after being placed in the hos pital at the Presidio. The details as to the identity of Mrs. Capt. Collins have not reached Topeka. It is said that her husband was killed in the Philippines and that she was on her return trip to the United States. She was taken sick and died. The sol diers charge that Major Rafter did not properly treat her and the information received in Topeka says the charges specify instances of Rafter's neglect. Then there is another phase of the affair which involves Dr. Charles S. Hoffman, assistant surgeon. The information which comes from San Francisco today states that the charges are also made to include Hoff man. He is involved by reason of statements said to have been made by the stewardess of the Tartar. It is claimed that this woman says she gave to Hoffman, just as the Tartar pulled up to the wharf, a chamois skin bag which had belonged to Mrs. Capt. Col lins. The stewardess claims the bag contained a large sum of money and the information, states that neither the bag nor the money has been seen or heard of. Dr. Hoffman probably turn ed it over to the person who was en titled to it. The report from San Francisco is ex tremely sensational and makes serious charges against the two officers who were taking care of the health of the Twentieth Kansas soldiers. DEATHS AND FUNERALS.

The paper trade is threatened with a famine according to several large manufacturers. Low water in streams which supply the paper mills is said to be the cause of the scarcity. All grades arid qualities of papers have advanced in price from 30 to 40 per cent and jobbers tight for the chance to buy f even at advanced rates.

Special Committee Makes Report to Gov. Tanner. Chicago, Nov. 23. The special com mittee appointed by Gov. Tanner to in spect the jiew sanitary canal submitted its preliminary report to the sanitary trustees today. The report is favorable and 'insures the opening of the canal at an early day. The commission finds that to properly dilute the sewage of a population of 1,800,000 contained in the sanitary district, 360,000 cubic feet of water per minute must be furnished the Chicago river. The commission finds the Chicago river will be fully capable of accommodating the flow of water required, with a current less than three miles per hour. The com mission will formally approve the en tire channel and recommend that Gov. Tanner issue a permit for water to be turned in as soon as the by-pass in the Chicago river and work at Joliet are finished. Captain Leonhauser's capture of the town of O'Donnell was a remarkable strike. His command consisted of three companies of the Twenty-fifth regi ment. Captain Albright and Lieuten ants Bates and Morton commanding. He started at G o'clock at night and marched fifteen miles in the mud. The only regular approach was along a road and over a river whose bridge was strongly fortified. The entrance of the town was entrenched. The soldiers left the road and followed a cattle trail to the rfar of the town. At daylight the command separated, one company ad vancing on the back of the town and the others flanking it. The insurgent force was asleep, ex cept those at the outposts, who were captured without shooting. One pla toon ran down the main street to a trench and the other detachments made a quick search of the houses. An offi cer describing the scene said: "The negro soldiers were pouring out of every house, dragging sleepy, fright ened Filipino warrors by the collar and kicking them into the street. It was a race to see which company would cor ral the most Filipinos. The women and children, believing the stories told that the negro soldiers were cannibals, shrieked frightfully. After the rifles had been secured the Filipinos were surprised by being told to go to their homes and attend to work.'" PASSED ON UP. Louisville Election Muddle Goes to State Board.

TODAY'S MARKET REPORT. Chicago. Nov. 23. WHEAT The opening- tone of the wheat market was easier today, a condition due largely to the weakness of Liverpool. Initial prices were Vs'dc under yesterday's close, le cember at 6Cri4ra6ti"(C and May at TltulKc. There was little speculative trade. Dfe cember eased off to ijic and May to ToTs'aTlc. both options fluctuating narrow ly at these points for some time. The weather w as reported generally seasonable. Liverpool weakness was due principally to prospects of a large crop from Aus tralia and Argentine. Receipts here were 78 cars, 23 of contract grade. Minneapolis and Duluth reported T"5 cars compared with Ttfti last week. The corresponding day last year was a holiday. The entire session was practically with out a grain of hope for the bulls.

Nov. 23. WHEAT It would appear that the nearer we get to Decem ber the more liquidation takes place in that option. Today s sales on this ac count have been large, and even in the face of better export demand our market has declined and speculatively shows a weakening tendency. The northwestern markets have shown good strength in cash wheat and demand for flour has been on a lnrije scale. Local operators have been inclined to change their views and feel that wheat is low enough and hesitate about shorting the market. The Price Current laid some stress on the sit uation in the winter wheat country and reported that complaints of bugs in the plant were quite numerous. The close is at the bottom prices and with lower ca bles in the morning a continuance of the liquidation is looked for. COKX Lower with the December op tion losing more than the May. The fea ture has been selling which has looked like Patten although he denies it. Cash demand slow. It is still wet through the corn belt but clear, colder weather is In dicated. Market is not weak at the de cline and we favor purchases on these dips. OATS have been devoid of incident but were easy with corn. The seaboard de mand has been slow for a week but there has been a fair New England demand. There has been a fair scattered trade in futures. PliO VISIONS Have been quiet but dttanrlv- Flnnr riro t'essionrt Is leading the I buving but the whole market a small one. Prices have been steady. There were 30. i (0ft hogs with 29.000 estimated for Friday. Prices were a shade lower. The Chicago Board of Trade will be closed Saturday out of respect for the late Vice President Hobart. J.F.

The Republican flambeau club held a big meeting at their hall last evening, in the old court house. Pictures of Ma jor T. J. Anderson and Congressman Chas. Curtis were formally presented to the club. Governor Stanley was there and was received with loud ap plause as he entered the hall. The club hall was decorated with the national colors. Long streamers of bunting were draped along the sides of the room, while flags and shields were placed here and there where they would heighten the effect. A large pic ture of President McKinley occupied a place in the front of the hall, while on the sides and rear of the room were hung the pictures of Chas. Curtis, Ma jor T. J. Anderson, Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Fuuston, George Washing ton and John A. Logan. On the desk was a large bouquet of roses, the gift of Mr. J. F. Snyder.

CHARACTERISTIC POSES OF GOVERNOR STANLEY IN HIS SPEECH TO THE FLAMBEAU CLUB. ing was disposed of. and W. E. Fagan was introduced. Mr. Fagan said: "I desire to discuss briefly two of our mosc honored and respected members. One of them has already passed the meri dian of life, the other is still a young man. It is appropriate that I should speak of the older first. "Major T. J. Anderson was in ear ly manhood an active participant of the civil war. As a soldier he never shirk ed responsibility. He was always ready to answer the call of duty. He has al ways been to the front for the good of the public. Has held several positions of public trust and has performed the duties with honor and credit. His splendid executive ability has made possible this grand organization of which he was the father. "Chas. Curtis is a young man and a striking illustration of the possibilities of the son of humble parents in Amer ica. He has by his own efforts won a place in the hearts of the people, and a place which might well be envied by any man in public life. Although too young to be a soldier in the civil war, yet I will venture to say that more old soldiers in his district feel under more personal obligation to him than to any other man. It gives me great pleasure to present to this club, for these gentle men, the image of the father of the club and of our Charlie." At this point the pictures were uncovered and were re ceived by loud applause. Governor W. E. Stanley was then in troduced and said: "I just begin to see what this meeting is. As I sat in my seat I looked over the audience and saw Sheriff Cook. I thought to myself, this must be some political meeting. Then I looked over there in the corner and saw Al Mooney and John Dudley, and I thought to my self, this must be a business meeting. Then I looked over here to this side and saw Dave Mulvane, and I declared that it must be some Methodist prayer meeting. "When the picture of Major Anderson was unveiled, and I saw the likeness and underneath on the banner the date 1S76. I thought it has been 23 years since this Republican flambeau club was organized. That is a long time, and is a big span in the life of a man. That same 23 years has been quite a span in the life of the state of Kansas. The state has grown up in that time and during all the upheavels and vicissi tudes, this Republican organization has remained intact. "It is wonderful to be the father of such a club as this. I do not wonder that you unvail the picture of the man who started this glorious organization. He has been with you all through these years. What has kept you intact? Not the Republican party, for the Republi can party has not always been in power. It is the fact that the organization stands for something. It stands for the Republican principles. "If all the counties in the state had Republican clubs like this Republican Flambeau club, this state would never have gone away from the Republican party. You can well feel proud of your organization which has done so much for the Republican party in Kansas. "Look at Charles Curtis. What good company he is in. The name of Chas. Curtis in Shawnee county and all the First congressional district is a house hold word. He stands for the fidelity of the state of Kansas. "What a great man is Wm. McKinley. He is great for standing for a great Republican principle. He fought for Republican protection when the sky was dark and Republicans all over the country wanted to give up the fight. "What made Logan great? He fought for the great Republican doctrine. We idolize John A. Logan and cherish hi3 memory. "Look at Lincoln's picture. What an honor it is to have his picture in such good honest company. He was the great Republican of the age. We cher ish the memory of Abraham Lincoln because he stood for Republican prin ciples. "Why do we cherish the name of Fred Funston. Because he went at the head of the Twentieth Kansas to plant the flag of the American Republic there where I hope it will remain forever. "I am glad to meet with you tonight. Look at Kansas. Ail her glory has been during the time of Republicanism. The good name of the state was never de graded until it left the Republican party. As long as we stand on Repub lican principles, we are right. The Re publican party settled the money ques tion and settled it right. The Repub lican Flambeau club is known all over the state of Kansas. You have made a name for yourself, and one of which you ought to be proud." Ex-Senator Matt Edmunds of Jeffer son county was present at the meeting and was called on for a speech. He said: "I did not come here to make a speech. I came to help you celebrate and listen to Governor Stanley. I en joy meeting with you, and agree in all that Governor Stanley has said. I know that the Republican Flambeau club has been true to the Republican party. We have had hard times to to keep the party up, but we are now on top and we intend to stay there. "The Republican party always swings into line just at the proper time and all things are landed safe. When the Re publican party is in the saddle we have good times. When the Democratic party is in the saddle we have bad times. T he moral in business life is to have noth ing to do with an unlucky man. That is right and applies to the Populist and Democratic parties. They are no good. "The fusionists and Populists are re deeming themselves by the Republican party taking them back into the fold. "I think that every member of the Democratic party is proud of the WHAT A G R AT rt A W TH P US L I CA N fLANBA c B iS KNOWV 4Lt OVER, achievements of the Republican party. I heard a prominent Democrat say not long ago, that Mr. McKinley will be his own successor, and the next year will be Dewey. That is twelve years of Republicanism and prosperity. There is a. demand among the Democrats for the Republican party to stay in power. "Chas. Curtis is a bright young man. He is never tired and is always looking out for the best interests of the state of Kansas. He is not a man to be laid on the shelf, but a man growing in power, both in Kansas and Washington. He is always right and next fall we will all help him." The audience listened to the speeches with close attention and were liberal in its applause. A letter received by O. K. Swayze, from Hon. Thomas Ryan, is in part as follows: "In the character and in fluence of its membership, the club is most fortunate. Such an organization of young men is capable of great in fluence, and merits the aid and encour agement of those of us who have grown gray in the party service, and who be lieve that upon thecontinued supremacy of the party and its pi-incirles, depend the highest attainable welfare of the American people. "With my thanks to you and the members of the club, for kindness to me in this matter, I am, verv sincerely your friend, THOS. RYAN." The following new members were elected to membership in the club: George B. Harrison, Frank J. Mather, D. E. Blakesley and A. M. Murdock. The following applications were re ceived for membership and were re ferred to the membership committee: L. F. McLelland, Amos E. Embree, Squire F. Fridell, Nesbit Elmore, E. L. Pinkerton. C. H.

Owners of His Charge Have Been Gone Three Days. Chicago. Nov. 23. "Stay with this horse until we return." That was the order Scott Smith, a negro boy of No. 3535 Armour avenue received from two unknown men as he watched them leading a sick horse along West Madison street, near Prairie avenue, Austin. Today the boy was at his post. watching and caring for the suffering brute. On a pile of straw and among pieces of carpets given by the neigh bors, the faithful watcher Is camping near the sidewalk with his charge. About three o'clock Monday after noon two men were driving along West Madison street, leading the horse. On reaching Prairie avenue the horse fell, and young Smith ran to the assistance of the two men. All efforts to get the horse up failed and the men drove on. telling Smith they would return for the animal later on. Monday night the young darky was busy with his suffer ing patient. He removed his own over coat to keep the horse warm. Tuesday a piece of carpet was given to the boy, and that night and last night he stuck to his post of duty. Dr. James Bond of Kinzie street and Fifty-first street gave a prescription to Smith to be filled for the horse, and he managed to get enough money from neighbors to pay for it. Today Smith has his charge well cov ered and he kept moving from a little fire he had built to the horse. Sharp pain made the brute struggle wildly. "Don't you worry, poor old nag," said Smith, "this boy is going to stay with you. Gee! But I wish I had some more drugs. 'Course I'm going to stay. Them men told me to." R. R. BOND REDEMPTION.

None came and she was forced through ex haustion to drop the child, allowing it to drown.

She was rescued but may die from exposure and nervous exhaus tion. MILWAUKEE IN A FOG. Many Serious Collisions Occur in the Wisconsin City's Streets. Milwaukee, Wis., Nov. 23.

The weeklv bank statement will be published this week at the usual hour on Saturday notwith standing that the stock exchange and sub-treasury will be closed on that day. SCANDAL GROWS. Berlin Official Circles Greatly Agitated. Are Berlin, Nov. 23. Investigation shows that the facts in the Camercons scan dal made public by the Tageblatt Nov. 18, when that paper said an apparent ly corrupt deal had taken place, by which the chief of the colonial depart ment gave away 80,000 square kilo meters of Cameroon soil estimated to be worth about 40,000,000 marks to var ious high personages, far exceed the Tageblatt's story. The promoters, it appears, first formed a company and soon sold out to a new company form ed at Brussels and made up of Bel gians. Englishmen and several Ameri cans for 18.500,000 francs. The concession it further- appears really cost them nothing. The first company was named in the concession, Sudekamerun. Prince Hohenlohe- Oehringeu was one of the original con cessioners. For this reason, the em peror forced his resignation as chief court chamberlain. The facts in the most recent grant of a concession are even worse. To a company called the Nordwest-Kam-erum, territory was conceded larger than Bavaria. It lies in the Hinterland of the Cameroons, is extremely fertile and includes valuable forests worth a thousand times the obligations the com pany assumes towards the empire. The entire financial obligation is only 100,000 marks contribution to the pro posed Tchad lake expedition, while there are other undertakings to spend 3,000.000 marks within ten years in im provements of the tract, to construct roads, steamer lines, plantations and factories, all redounding to the benefit of the company. The concession was granted for fifty years, which is to be extended for sixty years more if the company, within twelve years, con structs a railroad coastwards. At the expiration of the second term the immense tract becomes the com pany's proporty absolutely. The com pany also agrees to pay the govern ment a small share of its net profits. There is no condition that the company or a majority of its shareholders must be Germans. The correspondent of the Associated Press learns from the colonial office, in explanation of the above, that the pres ent chief, Dr. Von Buchka, adopted the British policy of getting big moneyed syndicates to take hold of the col onies on the prospect of large profits. It is understood that the whole affair will be thoroughly ventilated in the reich stag, and that Dr. Von Buchka's days as an official are probably numbered. BALLOJMiEl'EATERS. Will Bo Fought In Philadelphia Without Glove3. Harrisburg;, Pa,. Nov. 23. Dr. Swallow, whose battle against the machine in the campaign of ISLtT and attracted v.'ide- spread attention, is taking an active in terest in the exposure of the Philadelphia election frauds. The doctor claims that he was robbed of thousands of votes in that city when he ran for state treasurer and later whn he was a candidate for governor. He thinks it is about time that some vigorous measures are adopted to prevent the alleged ballot frauds and if a general movement is started to bring this about he will join it. "The integrity of the ballot," said Dr. Swallow, "is indispensable to the main tenance of our republican form of gov ernment. That abandoned and the gov ernment itself is doomed. The govern ment gone and commerce, business, edu cation and religion, in the promotion of which our best citizens are now so en grossed as to lose sight of government, will be gone: for back of all these in terests, including the home, which is the unit and pledge of our perpetuity, must be the government. l he remedy tor the wholesale prosti tution of the ballot box is the banding together of the business men, profes sional men, artisans and laboring men. irrespective of party for the overthrow of the corrupt machine that has its strong hold in the saloon, the brewery, and the liquor trust. "Political corruption and the liquor traffic are indissolubly wedded. The de struction of one means the crippling, if not the death of the other. As rebellion and slavery must die together, so in the rinal analysis it will be found that the liquor business and political corruption must die together. "When the sober, respectable, church going, education-supporting business men of Pennsylvania shall form in every vot ing precinct a league, auxiliary to a state league, which in turn shall be auxil iary to a national league, the purpose of which shall be meetings held every month the year round and by the circulation of literature every month in the year, the education of the voters in that precinct for the duties and privileges of citizen ship, then may we hope for reform. "When these citizens, through commit tees, shall know the name, face, occu pation and right to vote of every elector in that precinct and be willing to do everything honorable for love of coun try that the Quays, Platts. Clarksons, Durhams, Salters and Rodgerses now do for love of office and its emoluments, then will have come the end of repeating, ballot-box stuffing, false registering and the kindred evils. "When our moneyed men are as willing to pour out their money to help to keep the, peace by keeping the government, as they are to carry on war when through their neglect the government Is in the throes of revolution, then will have dawn ed the millennium of politics, and then shall we witness the perfection of state craft. All this will not come to pass till the American people learn to love their government more than they love money, luxury and self -ease. "Today the thugs run the government and the decent people pay the bills. It is only a question of time for this an archy to deny the right of decent people to life, liberty and the pursuit of, happi ness." BEATEN RY NEGROES. Miss Ella Currell Almost Murdered Lynching Threatened Hot Springs, Ark., Nov. 23. A case of cruelty and maltreatment, perpe trated upon Miss Ella Currell, 17 years old, a citizen of Bain township, seven miles from the city, came to light to day. The perpetrators of the crime are six negro boys from 12 to 20 years old. Sunday afternoon, while Miss Cur rell was en route to the home of a neighbor, she was assaulted by these negroes with sticks and clubs and beaten into insensibility. Her screams attracted the attention of a passer-by, who came to her rescue in time to save her life. The assault was made entirely with out provocation and is one of the most brutal affairs that ever occurred in this section of the state. Lynching is freely talked of and if the negroes are captured they will be summarily dealt with. Several officers with warrants for their arrest were dispatched to the scene of the crime this morning.

IT FLOATS. COPYRIGHT ISSS BY THC PHOCTEH GAM B LI CO. CINCINNATI HE MAY BE TASCOTT. tthe Famous Murderer Again Said to Be in Custody. Vancouver, B. C, Nov. 23. Chief of (Police Stewart thinks that he has cap tured George Tascott, murderer of Mil lionaire Snell, of Chicago, a crime com mitted nearly ten years ago. Tascott, or Graham, as he calls him self, was arrested here yesterday, and nvas this morning sentenced to three months for vagrancy. His appearance tallies with descriptions furnished by the Chicago police at the time of the famous murder. He spent this summer In Dawson, where he was ill in the hos pital of fever. Tascott is now 28 years of age, having but a little over IS when he committed the shooting of one of the best known citizens of Chicago at that time. He got away, partly by the aid of the memorable giving away of the ptory by the police, and came west. At that time he was identified partly by Chief Stewart in Vancouver, but the chief let the man depart to China by theEmpress of India. The only differ ence between his appearance and the telegraphed description was regarding the gold filling in his teeth. This fooled the chief at the time, but it made him vow at the time that the man would not Blip through his fingers again. Tascott was across the Pacific two or three times in succeeding years, and at the first of the Klondike rush he went to Dawson, and for a couple of months nvas employed as a bartender. Then he fell into bad ways, and last summer he mas carried to a hospital in a raging fever. He thought he was about to die, and confided to the nurse that he was the murderer of Snell. of Chicago. The police was notified, but they allowed the man to remain where he was until he recovered. One morning the hospi tal authorities awoke to the fact that Ihe had cleared out, and that was the last that was heard of him until he was errested here. Chief Stewart will take ip the case tomorrow thoroughly to make sure he has the right man. "WATER SUl'I'Lr CKIPPLED. Selena Reservoir Leaks Away Its Entire Volume Helena, Ark., Nov. 23. The big reser ivoir of the Helena Water company's plant sprung a lean yesterday after noon and before this morning the entire volume of water stored in it had wasted away. The reservoir is located on a hill In the suburbs of the city and was sup posed to be perfectly safe. Steps will be taken to repair the dam age at once.

Nebeker of Vtah, Mormon elders, arrived in this city to day and announced their intention of opening headquarters at once and mak ing Columbus a recruiting station for the Mormon faith. They engaged the Odd Fellows' temple for a two days' conference which is to be held Nov. 2S 29. An attendance of atout thirty Mor- ROSY COLOR. Produced By Postum Food Coffee. 'When a person rises from each meal Kvith a ringing in the ears and a general Fense of nervousness, it is a common tiabit to charge it to a deranged stom ach. "I found it was caused from drinking coffee, which I never suspected for a long time, but found by leaving off cof fee that the disagreeable feelings went away. "I was brought to think of the sub ject by getting some Postum Food Cof fee, and this brought me out of the trouble. "It is a most appetizing and invigor ating beverage and has been of such (treat benefit to me that I naturally Fpeak of it from time to time as oppor tunity offers. "A lady friend complained to me that ehe had tried Postum, but it did not taste good. In reply to my question she raid she guessed she boiled it about ten minutes. I advised her to follow di rections and know that she boiled it fifteen or twenty minutes, and she "would have something worth talking about. A short time ago I heard one of frier children say that they were drink ing Postum now-adays, so I judge she succeeded in making it good, which is by no means a difficult task. "Tom O'Brien. the son of a friend who lives on Bridge St., was formerly a pale lad. but since he has been drinking Postum, has a fine color.

The clergv of Columbus are highly indignant over the actions of the Mor mons. They claim it is not only im pudent for them to locate in the capital city, but it is a direct insult, they say, that will be returned at the proper time. To indicate the popular feeling against polygamy the ministers cite the fact that in every church in the city Sun day petitions were liberally and eagerly signedasking congressto oust Roberts of Utah from his seat in that body and registering a protest generally against the principles of Mormonism. Upon the other hand, the elders who arrived to day claim that they received more en couragement in Ohio than any other state outside of Utah. HAY WORD GROWS WORSE. Paralysis Is Again Extending and His Case is Hopeless. Nebraska City, Neb., Nov. 23 Senator Hayward gradually grows worse as the hours pass by. He had a bad night last night and his condition during the day has shown no improvement. The paralysis is again extending and there are evidences that it has affected the bladder. What is still more discourag ing, the brain lesion is becoming more pronounced. The patient's mind is cloudy and the attending physician is very much worried and discouraged. The family is troubled over the new developments and the senator's brother. Major E. P. Hayward, who intended leaving today, will remain longer to watch the case.

New York, Nov. 23. Richard R. Lip pincott, a traveling salesman for a wholesale grocery house of Philadel phia, was suddenly stricken with total blindness while on a train of the Cen tral raiiroad of New Jersey from Lake wood, this morning. He was led from the train at Freehold. N. J., where a physician, after an examination, could give no relief. He was later taken to Philadelphia for treatment by a speci alist. While in apparently perfect health and without pain or inflammation of the eyes, Mr. Lippincott was suddenly deprived of his sight. He leisurely read a newspaper as the train drew out of Lakewood this morning. He was seated in the rear of the smoking car. The train was moving at full speed and all the windows were closed when men near him heard Mr. Lippincott give a sharp cry. Turning they saw him arise confusedly from his seat, with his arms stretched out before him. Passengers in the car thought he had become in sane and ran to seize him. Protesting, he told the men who gathered about him that he could not see anything. "I've been sticken blind," he said, with an agonizing cry. Men in the car hastily pulled down the window shades. They poured cold water over Lippincott's face. But, al though he suffered no pain, their ef forts could not make him see again. Dr. Meifee made a thorough examination of Mr. Lippincott's eyes and finally de clared he could not understand the blindness. He advised him to take the first train to Philadelphia and there consult a specialist. Milos Swinging Around the Circle. New Orleans. Nov. 23. General Nel son A.

Nov. 23. At 10 o'clock this morning the exercises of dedicating the 107 monuments and the markers of the state of Illinois on the battlefields surrounding the city were held at Orchard Knob, the site of one of the principal memorial shafts and famous during the civil war as the headquarters of Gen. Grant. It is esti- J mated that more than one thousand residents of Illinois and at least 3,000 Chattanooga people attended the exer cises. Among the distinguished visitors were Senator Cullom, Governor Tanner, and staff of Illinois, Commissioner of Pensions H. Clay Evans, Gen. H. V. Boynton, representing the secretary of war and a large delegation from the confederate camp of this city. Major Charles A. Connelly delivered the speech presenting the monuments to the governor of Illinois on behalf of the Illinois commissioners. Governor Tanner of Illinois received the monuments, delivering an eloquent speech of acceptance and in turn pre sented them to the government. Gen. Henry V. Boynton, president of the Chickamauga Park commission re ceived the monuments in behalf of the secretary of war. BOYNTON'S ADDRESS. General H. V. Boynton, chairman of the National Park commission, in re ceiving the monuments said: "The citizens of any state, or of any nation, might well be proud to stand on this historic spot, with the right to stand here as the military associates of General Grant, participants with him, each in his appointed rank, in that miracle of military history, the storm ing of Missionary Ridge. First, toward this point, and then from this point he directed that series of memorable bat tles which have given Chattanooga a world-wide fame. "But it is especially fitting that the state of Illinois which gave Grant to the Union army should come here and set up a monument to the heroism of its soldiers upon the very ground of his field headquarters, and from which he observed the progress of the battle. It is also fitting that Illinois should place that other lofty shaft which looks down upon us from the crest reached by his victorious columns so largely composed of soldiers from that state. And it is especially fitting that Illinois, in the presence of its chief executive and his staff, accompanied by many of its dis tinguished men, by this large represen tation of its citizens, and by these laurel-crowned heroes of the musket and the sword, who glorified this region with the prowess of their arms a gener ation ago, should gather on this anni versary to dedicate the monuments which their state has erected to com memorate the valor of her sons. "As we stand upon this spot, the spirit w'hich actuated General Grant must of necessity move ah hearts to day. What brave men. whether he faught under the flag for wnich we all fight now, or under the battle flag of the South, will ever forget that the vic tory at Appamatox sent Southern sol diers hxme with their horses, which, in hi sthoughtfulr.es of the gi neral wel fare, he saw they would need for their spring plowing? Or when will pass from the minds of men his military benediction heaven-directed, we must believe 'Let us live in pctce?' Over every corner of our land that peace has come to abide forever. And in its blessed strength inspired bv the joint memories of all our armies and their leaders, and all our battlefields. the nation has sent its flag half around the earth and taken its place as one of the controlling powers of the world. "What of the soldiers who won the battles which these monuments com memorate, and the great captains who command them? "Did General Grant spend his timo about the commissary stores in the ca pacity of a pure food commissioner? Did he send his staff officers through- j uui me inline ui command iu tsaLiier evidence to prove that the war depart ment did not know more than a thing or two about war? Did he fill the press of the land with interviews criticizing everything and everybody but himself? When he telegraphed General Thomas from 'Louisville to hold Chattanooga, did Thomas reply, 'We are out of the proper brand of meat and it can't be done,' or, did he reply, 'We k ill hold the town till we starve?' Did General Thomas and his general officers send a round robin to Washington concern ing the condition of their stomachs, thei rtemperature and their pulse, and promptly furnish a copy of it to the prt-ss? "And what of the soldiers who served under General Thomas? They went about the streets of Chattanooga, and the horse and mule corrals, nicking up kernels of scattered corn. They gath ered about the refuse heaps of the com missary stores where mouldy bread was thrown, whittled off the mould and tilled their haversacks with the crumbs, and when interrupted by the play of the selge guns, they would look up at the smoking summit of Lookout and ex laim. 'If these rations hold, Mr. Johnny Reb. we'll get you yet.' "The monuments which Ilinois here dedicates are to such officers and men. Let the small, but the loud and persist ent crowd of gumblers of the National guard in th? war with Spain, who filled the land with their baseless groanings, take notice of the kind o soldiers which an American state delights to honor. "And those who fought against these iron men were soldiers of like mould. When Union veterans gather, that fact should never be forgotten, and ever be held as a. matter of prjde. since, to gether, they fix the universal and un disputed standard of American rluek. endurance anr heroism on the field of battle. "This great park, embracing seven battlefields, is being established with absolute impartiality as a military ob ject lesson, and an illustration of the. prowess of the American soldier in bat tle. More than a thousand historical tablets attest this impartiality. The like of it was never seen before in tny land. "To its e-stablishment and develop ment Illinois has most generously con tributed, and its state commission has been efficient. energetic, painstaking and able, and has reflected credit equal ly upon the governor whose officers they are. and upon their state.

It is a pleasure to testify to this, and to further testify that the sentiment among public men at Washington is that he is worthy of every honor which his state can confer. "It is my duty and my extreme pleas ure to express the sincere thanks of the National park commission to the state of Illinois, through you its dis tinguished governor, for the elaborate and imposing work which has been per formed upon these surrounding battle fields with such patriotic devotion. "And now. sir, after these remarks which are wholly and solely my own, it remains for me to execute the commis sion of the secretary of war, and in his name to receive these monuments into the care and keeping of the great re public." Brief informal addresses were made by others of the visitors among them Senator Shelby M Cullom, of Illinois. Gov. Tanner will formally receive at the Read House tonight and the Grand Army Veterans will hold a symposium. The visitors will spend tomorrow at Chickamaua-a park. DESCRIPTION OF MONUMENTS. The Illinois monuments and the mark ers at Chickamauga park and the vicin ity of Chattanooga dedicated today are 107 in number and were erected out of an appropriation of $R3,000 by the Illi nois legislature. Of the markers, there are 33 in Chickamauga park and 19 in Chattanooga and vicinity. The small monuments are distributed so as to give 37 to Chickamauga park and 38 to Chattanooga and vicinity. The mark ers are of Quincy granite, five feet long and 2'b feet wide with polished shields and inscribed with the word "Illinois" and the name of the regiment engaged at the location of the marker. All the markers and the small monu ments are built on plans of striking similarity. The two great monuments of Illinois which are among the most attractive on the battlefield are located one at Orchard Knob and the other at Braggs Hill, Missionary Ridge. The monument on Braggs Hill is erected in honor of the brigades of Generals Gross, Sherman, Jacques. Wagner, Harker, Wiilich, Carlan. Moore and Wood. It is a tall shaft of New England granite surmounted by a bronze figure. The base is of Georgia granite, four addi tional figures at the base of the monu ment and the flags, shields, etc., are of standard bronze are also the great seal of Illinois which appears on it. This monument is elaborately inscribed. The monument at Orchard Knob was erect ed to the memory of the brigades of Generals Morgan, Starkweather. Beatty, Heeker, McCook. Whittaker, Tindale, Wilder. Long and Engart, the First and Second Illinois light batteries, Gogswell battery and the Chicago Board of Trade battery. In architectural design it is a canopy with tall polished shaft on the top of which is a bronze figure of a standard bearer. It is built of New England granite with V base of south ern grantie. The polished work is very elaborate, the name "Illinois" standing out in bold relief. Among the other pol ished pieces on the monument are four balls on the corners of the dome, eight columns on the corner and the main column. SNAP SHOTS AT HOME NEWS New calendars are appearing".
