f u r m LAST EDITION WEDNESDAY EVENING. TOPEKA, KANSAS. AUGUST 22, 1900. WEDNESDAY EVENING. TWO CENTS. I: if i I 7 v 1 J AT THE GATES OF TIIEPALACE. American Troops -IlaTe Pene trated the Imperial City And Are Thundering at the En trance to Emperor's House. CAPT. IiEILLEY DEAD. Commander of Fifth Artillery Killed Aug. 1 a. Chaffee's losses, Six Killed and Thirty Wounded. lie Is Placed In Control of Our Interests in China. "Washing-ton, Aug. 22. The navy de partment haa received the following cablegram from Admiral Remey: "Che Foo, Aug". 21, Taku, Aug. 20. Dickins' command is landing today. Pe kin, 16. All except imperial city cleared of Chinese troops. American troops, first to enter imperial city, have pene trated to the gates of the palace. Cap tain Reilley, Fifth artillery, killed on the 15th. Morning 19th Sixth cavalry and about 400 Knglish and Japanese dispersed about 1,000 boxers eight miles outside of Tien Tsin. About 100 Chi nese killed, five Americans wounded. Chaffee's losses, six killed, 30 wountTed, two days' fighting. REMEY." The navy department understands from the reference to the palace that the American troops after penetrating the imperial city were, when the dis patch was sent attacking the forbidden city. This is the inner enclosure of the imperial city. The war department has received the following cablegram: "Tien Tsin, Aug. 19. To adjutant gen eral, Washington: With reference to your telegram of 16th, horses, mate rials and troops promptly landed at Ta ku and forwarded to front. Sixth cav alry mounted. Grant (transport) due in Manila now. Hospitals excellent, ample for present army, well supplied and in fine condition. Everything satis factory. Go to Pekin tomorrow. Sick and wounded doing well. BARRY." CHAFFEE IN CONTROL. New York, Aug. 22. A special to the World from Washington says: The war department sent General Chaffee a cablegram of four words late yesterday afternoon which practically takes things out of Minister Conger's hands and puts General Chaffee in the position of the utmost responsibility. The message said: ."Report operations, situation, require ments."' There is no intention of depreciating Minister Conger, the government has the liveliest sense of gratitude for him, but it is not deemed expedient to act on his .dispatches because after his ter rible experience he is naturally embit tered and possibly unconsciously biased and because he needs and deserves a rest. It is proposed to have Mr. Conger come home at the first opportunity and enjoy a long period of rest, and recuper ation. A dispatch to the Tribune from Lon don says: Some more particulars are published of the attack on Pekin by the allies. The Shanghai correspondent of the Mail says that the walls were blown up with dynamite. Fears are entertained lest the communication of the allies in Pekin and Tien Tsin should have been cut as Chinese forces are reported in the neighborhood of Pei Tsang. State ments are made in Paiis to the effect that French troops now on their way to the far east will go to Taku, but will be disembarked in Tonking. The reply of the United States gov ernment to the offer of Li Hung Chang to negotiate undoubtedly, says the 'Times, represents the position which all the powers concerned have agreed to take up. FIGHTING NEAR TAKU. London, Aug. 22. Rear Admiral Bruce has cabled to the British admiralty from Taku under date of Monday, August 20, that the allies were fighting the Chi, nese outside of Tien Tsin on Sunday, August 19. CHINESE PRINCES ESCAPE. Rome, Aug. 22. Dispatches received here from Taku, under date of August 20, say that according to advices from a Japanese source dated August 17, the battle of Pekin was then finished, the Japanese had entered the imperial palace. The foreign ministers with de tachments of the allied troops were then occupying the imperial city, the Chinese princes and ministers having retired to Sian Fu. west of Pekin. Field Marshal Count von Waldersee, the German officer who is going to the far east in order to take command of the allied forces in China, with the three officers accompanying him. breakfasted with King Victor Emanuel this morn ing, after which the field marshal went to the Pantheon and deposited a wreath on the tomb of King Humbert.- The field marshal left Rome at 2:20 p. m. for Naples, where he will embark for China. MISSIONARIES SAVED. Boson, Aug. 22. The American board of commissioners for foreign missions has received today a cablegram from Che Foo as follows: J "Psalm one twenty-four seven Pekin and Tung Chow- missionaries: also Chapins, Smiths. Wickoffs. saved." The pasasge of scripture alluded to Is: "Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken and we are escaped." The Pekin missionaries are: The Rev W. S. Ament, the Rev. C. E. Ewing", wife and two children. Miss Ada Haven, Miss Nellie Russell. Mrs. J. L Mater. The Turg Chow missionaries who had taken refuge at Pekin are: Miss Mary E. Andrews. Miss Jane G. Evans, Miss Abbie G. Chapin. the Rev. Chauncey Goodrich. D. IX, wife and three children; James H. Ingram. M. I)., wife and two children. Miss Luella Miner, Rev. E. G. Tewksbury, wife and two children: Rev. Howard S. Gait and wife. The' Par.g Chuar.g missionaries who were at the annual meeting and took refuge at Pekin are: The Rev. Arthur H. Smith. D. I.. and wife: the Misses E. Gertrude and H. Grace Wickoff. Lin Ching mis sionaries under the same conditions are: The Rev. F. M. Chapin, wife and two children. JAPANESE REPORTED IN THE PALACE. London, Aug. 22. The allies are fight ing the Chinese outside of Tien Tsin, August 19, so Real Admiral Bruce wires to the British admirality from Taku under date of August 20, adding that the engagement was reported to have occurred six miles south of Tien Tsin. Admiral Bruce also sent a dispatch dated Pekin, August 17, from the gen eral officer commanding there, in which nothing is said as to the situation, at Pekin. It gives a partial list of 'the British casualties during the siege of the lega tions, the death of Capt, Bernard Strouts. and regrets, that "owing to the heavy roads and forced march, the na val brigade was unable to participate in the entry," adding that the "way they brought their guns by boat and road from Tien Tsin is an achievement of which they may be proud." An official dispatch from Tien Tsin dated August 20, and received at Tokio reports that the Japanese occupied the imperial palace at Pekin August 16. and says that about August 12 the dowager empress and the emperor and ministers left Pekin with three thousand troops, their destination, it is supposed, being Sian Fu. Pekin, being in great confu sion, was divided into several districts. Half the Tartar City was placed un der the control of the Japanese and com mittees of Japanese, American, British, Russian and French officers were ap pointed to maintain order. A detachment of Japanese troops rescued the foreign missionaries and Chinese Christian con verts, who had been imprisoned in the palace. Two hundred Japanese were kill ed or wounded. LONDON IN DOUBTFUL MOOD. New York, Aug. 22. A dispatch to the Tribune from London says: There is again a revival of something like pessimism in official and political circles here, or in the scanty remnants of them left in London by the ravages of the holiday season. After the ex hilaration caused by the first news of the entry of the allies into Pekin there has come a rebound. The cessation of direct communication with the allied commanders at the front is not at all liked, nor does Admiral Bruce's tele gram stating that the forbidden city was entered on the 17th do much to con sole the doubters. In the first place it is pointed out that the admiral does not profess to have heard his news offi cially from General Gaselee, but only gives it on the authority of reports cur rent at Taku, and we know by this time what reports in Chinese towns are worth. Secondly, even if the authentic news if four days" old and much may have happened since then the silence of the generals lends color to a Shang hai statement that the wires to Tien Tsin are eui. and may help to explain the hurried march of the German and Italian reinforcements to Pekin. Assuming that even the sacred city and the palace are captured, the diffi culties of the allies are by no means at an end. Their force is of course more than sufficient to repel any attack which might be made on them, whether by boxers or by imperial 'troops, but when it is remembered that they have to police the great straggling city of Pekin, with its million inhabitants and to keep open the line of communication to the coast, their strength is by no means excessive, even if it is sufficient for the work in hand Besides, the allied generals, like Lord Roberts in South Africa, may have ad vanced too fast effectively to -occupy the country behind them. The speed of their march was rendered necessary by the position of the legations, for if the relief column had taken three or four days longer on the journey it might have come too late. Still, if the Chinese troops defeated at Pie Tsang and YankTsun should form up again be tween the capital and Tien Tsin the allies will either have to march back to disperse them or wait till that task is performed by reinforcements from the coast and meanwhile may find them selves virtually besieged in Pexin. The pessimists, too, are additionally depressed by Minister Conger's testi mony as to the conduct of the Chinese government, and his opinion that the whole movement was got up by the im perial authorities and that the boxers were a mere pretense. On the other hand, it is admitted that if the empress and the Manchu princes, and particu larly Tuan, have been captured, the outlook is much more hopeful, since it will be possible to find responsible Chi- (Continued on Sixth Page.)

State Officers Are Appealed to For Help. RAISED ABOUT $1,000. Part of Medals Have Been Dis tributed. Fault Found With Methods of Management. The spirit of patriotism and the desire to hoijpr the Kansas heroes who came home from the Philippines with the Twentieth Kansas seem to have dwind led away, because it has become neces sary for the governor to take up the work of raising sufficient funds to defray the expense of procuring medals for the members of the regiment. The G. A. R. has failed in this effort and O. H. Coulter, who has had charge of the work has sought the aid of the governor. In response to the appeals for addi tional funds the public has turned a deaf ear to Mr. Coulter, but the governor ask ed H. J. Allen, private secretary, to take hold of the matter and $50 was raised in the state house today. There is a deficiency of about J800 ac cording to a letter of explanation issued by Mr. Coulter. Over' $1,000 has already been raised. Some of the state officers all of them giving $5 each today were glad of the opportunity to contribute to the fund for the medals but there was considera ble criticism against the action of the authorities in charge of this medal busi ness, in sending out a part of the medals. Som of the medals have already been distributed to one or two companies. If the money is raised the remainder of the medal3 will be received by those who are entitled to them. One of the state officers today handed $5 to Mr. Allen and said, in the presence of a State Journal reporter: "I am perfectly willing to contribute this amount to this fund but I do object to the methods by which this business had been handled. Some of the medals have been sent out to the members of the Twentieth for which action I see no good reason. The medals for all of the boys should have been completed before any were given out. And, all of the mon ey should have been raised before any were given out." The plan to present the Twentieth Kansas boys with these medals came up. when O. H. Coulter was depart ment commander. The new department commander and the officials have per mitted Coulter to continue with the work. In an explantatory letter issued by him the following record of the dona tions is made public: Donor: Amt.

The rain in Kansas last night was light. It was not general over the state, and it will have little effect on the rapidly expiring corn crop. The Santa Fe reports that a light rain fell over the eastern and South ern Kansas divisions and on portions of the middle division. No rain fell along the lines of the Oklahoma or western divisions in the southern and western parts of the state. The Rock Island reports a light rain extending from St. Joe south to Cald well and southwest to Liberal.- No rain fell in the northern part of the state west of Courtland, Republic county. GOOD RAIN AT HAYS. Hays City, Kas., Aug. 22. Heavy rain fell during last night; two inches of rain falling. Heat was oppressive yes terday, ranging near 107 in the shade. Farmers are elated over rain. Plowing has comenced. The acreage for wheat is assured to be' larger than this year. Without several days of warning, with out an outrider to warn the people of its approach, the rain came unheralded and without the sanction of the weather bu reau. RAIN IN TOPEKA. The precipitation commenced at 4:30 o'clock Tuesday afternoon and it was midnight when the last drop was re corded but the heavy rain fell within an hour. The total was 80 hundredths of an inch. A light rain fell this morning but was not more than a trace. The rain was the relief that has been longed for many days. The table of the tempera ture shows that when the rain approach ed at 3 o'clock the mercury was busy but it fell rapidly and within two hours had dropped 34 degrees. 1 P. M 97 2 P. M I... 98 3 P. M 100 4 P. M 76 5 P. M 66 6 P. M 73 7 P. M 79 There are several high and several low barometers scattered over the country and a high and a low in the northwest may have had something to do with the rain but it is more likely a local thunder storm and the heat did its share. The balmy temperature of the tropics is still playing its engagement in Kan sas and the state is now ahead of any other for high temperature. The report for the 24 hours ending Tuesday morn ing at 7 o'clock shows the following maximums: Concordia 104, Dresden 100, Fort Scott, 101, Hays City 105, Meaks ville 101, Manhattan 103. McPherson 105, Osage City 101, Sedan 101, Toronto 102. McPherson still holds the palm and re ported the highest temperature of the year 107V Hays City comes a close second. The maximum temperature this morn ing up to 11 o'clock was 74 and the min imum 69. The wind was south edging along at 5 miles an hour. The forecast is "Thunderstorms east portion this afternoon or tonight. Thursday fair and moderate temperature." HE WAS FJWM KANSAS. First Man to Scale the Walls of Pekin. Washington, Aug. 22.

BRYAN AT AUBURN Begins a Series of Speeches in His Old District. 'Auburn, Neb., Aug. 22, W. 3. Bryan made the first speech here today of a series scheduled for today In the First congressional district of Nebraska. The meeting was held in the court house grounds, and in spite of a light rain which was falling, a good crowd was present. The First congressional dis trict was represented by Mr. Bryan in congress and has, since his retirement, been represented by a Republican mem ber. Mr. Bryan made a plea for the election of G. W. Berger, the Democratic can didate for congress. He -compared the govefnment to a corporation. He said all citizens were stockholders, as such they owed it to themselves to look well after the conduct of the directors of the corporation. He charged the Republi can administration, the government di rectors, with deceit in all its policies. This deception had, he said, been prac tised in regard to the financial system, the trusts and the foreign policy of the country. He charged the Republican party with the intention of fastening a national debt upon the people. He de voted himself especially to the enlarge ment of the army, saying that if "we could take the Philippine islands, we could subject any weak people." The Republican party was building its policy upon the plea that "might makes right." They were asserting that the financial question was this year the paramount issue only because the Republican party regarded the dollar of more conse quence than the man. He dwelt upon liberty as a God given right, saying the Filipinos were as much entitled to it as we are. In promising, them a good government we are only promising what kings promised under similar circumstances. We have, he asserted, no title to the Philippine is lands according to the Declaration of Independence. In the first place Spain had no title and in the second place, we can not buy people, nor was it any more profitable than wise to wage for eign conquest. Already what had been spent in the way of treasure in the Phil ippines to say nothing of blood is more than the profits of trade with those is lands for many years would amount to. The flag had been hauled down in Mex ico and the Mexican people were better off with their own government than they would be with an American carpet bag government in that country. Mr. Bryan sharply arraigned the Re publican party for its alleged inconsist ency in the position formerly taken on questions of militarism, money and trusts and the position now taken on those questions, and continuing said: "The same spirit that carries you to the Philippine islands will lead into some other places and make you hold, the people and make them subjects against their will. The same spirit of militarism and imperialism that car ried you to the Philippine Islands will carry you wherever you can find a peo ple weak enough to be whipped by the United States. The doctrine of impe rialism is the doctrine of the bully and the coward. It is the doctrine which takes people under the pretense that you are taking them for their good and you reach your hands in their pockets and rob them, while you are taking them. Republicans, your papers tell you that the Filipinos are savages; you dare not say it, because you do not arm savages and turn them out to fight peo ple. They say we can not haul down the flag In the Philippines once it is raised there. Even this administration rdoes not find any trouble or difficulty in hauling down the flag in Alaska. I suppose they contend that In a cold climate you can haul it down, but that you can not in a hot climate. "The American flag represents the purpose of the American people. No body can haul our flag down against our will, but the American people have the right to put it up where they want it and to take it down where they de sire. The flag is the servant of the na tion the people are not the servants of the flag. If that is true, how are you going to bring the American troops back from Pekin? They planted the American flag there. I want the Amer ican flag to come down from the Phil ippine islands in order that the flag of a republic might rise in its place. I would rather that we have two flags representing two republics than one representing an empire." CUT SHORT AT TECDMSEH. Tecumseh, Neb., Aug. 22. The train bringing Mr. Bryan from Auburn to this place was an hour late, and in con sequence he was compelled to cut short hi3 stay here in order to fill his other engagements of the day. His speech was briefer than that made at Auburn, taut covered very much the same ground. The crowd was again large. In the course of his speech here Mr. Bryan related that he had made his first Fourth of July speech in thi3, Johnson, county, twelve years ago. "When I concluded," he said, "two men came to me and askea me whether I was a Democrat or Republican; but they don't do that any more. When a man makes a speech in favor of the Declaration of Independence they know he is not a Republican." Mr. Bryan left Tecumseh immediately after his speech for a twenty mile drive across the country to Pawnee City, where he spoke .'ate this afternoon. CLIMAXls REACHED. Rabid Partisans Will Fly Mc Kinley and Roosevelt Kite Over Bryan Stand. Extreme partisans who would rather that Topeka should lose her reputation for hospitality than allow an opportuni ty to insult the Bryan people to escape will attempt to fly a large kite bearing the pictures of McKinley and Roosevelt over the stand while Bryan is speaking. It Is needless to say that O. K. Swayze is the leader of the movement. Korean Rebels Attack Song Ching. Yokohama, Aug. 22.

Trolley Car Wrecked on a Cleve land Suburban Line. Cleveland, O., Aug. 22. An electric car on the Cleveland and Chagrin Falls su burban line jumped the truck on a curve near Chagrin Falls today while runnintc at high speed. The car was wrecked and the crew and twelve passengers cut and badly bruised. Five persons were seriously injured. The accident was caused by a broken brake rod. Those most seriously injured are: John Young, conductor, Chagrin Falls. Miss Rathburn, Newburg. Ohio. Mrs. M. G. Meice, Chagrin Falls. Mrs. Walter Barrows, Chagrin Falls. C. H. Hubbell, Chagrin Falls. Fortunately the car struck a trolley pole when it left the track, otherwise it would have gone down a steep embankment. Hail this occurred a number of lives would probably have been lost. BRYAN AND ROOSEVELT To Speak From Same Platform on Labor Bay in Chicago Chicago, Aug. 22.

If this programme is adhered to it will result in Governor Roosevelt and Colonel Bryan appearing on the same platform. Mr. Bryan's original inten tion was to go to Cleveland on Labor day, but according to the announce ment made by Mr. Schilling he haa changed his mind. DELAWARE DIVIDED.

Chicago. 111., Aug. 22. Albert D. Shaw, commander in chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, arrived In Chi cago last night to consult with the ex ecutive committee on the last details concerning the coming celebration, which he says promises to be the larg est and most successful encampment in the history of the organization. "Our membership is decreasing rep idly every year," said the commander in chief, "and soon the G. A. R. will be a thing of the past. I hope, how ever, that before we pass out of ex istence we will change our memorial day from the 30th of May to the last Sunday in May. Memorial day should be given over to patriotism and inspi ration, and not to boat racing and bii-il games. I shall recommend at the na tional convention that the date be changed, and while I cannot say what the action of the delegates will be, I hope to find that they are all with,

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 22, 1900. SPORTING HEWS. V Siarfcy Thinks His Injured Kib is Sound, Sailor Declares Ho Is In Prime Shape For Fitz. TO WEIGH 190 POUNDS The Western League Clubs Eating Money This Year. Denver Will Clear Over $6,000 and Win the Pennant. New Tork, rAug. 22. "Being a different Siiarkejr than I was the night I fought Gos Ruhlin, I do cot see bowl can fail to whip FitzsimmoriB," is the way Tom Sharkey gave his frtendss an idea of his condition -at training quarters today. Sharkey certainly looks to be in great shape and if that injured rib th?t was caved in by the mighty right fist of Champion Jeffries is better, as Sharkey says it is, he should be able to make a great fight with the former Australian. He says he will enter the ring weighing about 1S2 pounds, but Tom is known as something of a prevaricator about his weight and one of his trainers said this afternoon that 190 would be within a pound of the weight at which Sharkey will fight. 1XKS NOT MISTAKE FITZ. Can Kitz hurt you if he catches you in your lame side?" one of his friends apked. "That's one thing about this fellow," Tom replied. "He will hurt you if he hits you anywhere on the top of the head or anywhere else. He is an awful puncher, but I figure on keeping out of his way for a time at least. If he gets tired with me the way he did with Ruhlin the fight won't go six rounds. I do not intend to say what way I will fight him. That will depend largely on whst hs does. "The eide that was hurt in the Jef-frit-s fight, I think, is better than ever. There seems to be some sort of a bony formation over the ribs that acta as a sort of armor and it will take a stiff punch there to hurt me," and to show the strength that was there he slashed his big knuckles into the ribs several times at full force. It appears that Tom is treasuring up In his brain a severe hatred for the colored fighter, big Bob Armsmtrong, who was with him in his training work for the Ruhlin fight. Sharkey was a hard taskmaster and when the present match with Fitz was made Armstrong went to O'Rourke and told him he had a chance to go with Fitzsimmons and that he thought he would be treated bet ter there. AR M STRONG HAS CHANGED CAMPS O'Rourke said he would not be dis pleased at this action, although he paid Bob a high compliment as a trainer. So Bob switched over to the other camp and is now working might and main with the red-topped one. Fitzsimmons thinks pretty well of him and it is hint ed that he is paying him a good salary, whereas Sharkey paid him nothing, but when the question of money came up Armstrong was always referred to O'Rourke. "Sharkey was wild when' She heard that the colored man had deserted. It was unreasonable on his part, as O'Rourke told him. and so now he wants to defeat Fitz and then have the satis faction of laughing at the black man. But Armstrong does not seem to be much alarmed at the prospects of such a thing happening. "I think it will be a hard, long fight, but Bob will win it sure," is the quiet tip given out by the fcig fellow, who, by the way, is known as a fine judge of the merits of a fighter. HOW OLD 13 FITZ. Admits to 40 Tears But is Nearer 45 Story of a Dental Friend. tFrom the Chicago Chronicle. "Fitzsimmons admits of being 40, but I have good reasons for believing that he is nearer 45," said a well-known athlete, who has been with Fitzsimmons during the r preparatory stages attendant on his more mportant ring engagement. "He has f brother living in Philadelphia who told me that he (the brother) was then 42. ard that 'Bob' was a year or two older." That was before Fitzsimmons fought Jerie?. If the brother s story be true, then the f reckie-faced fighter must be hovering e round the 45 mark, and he looks the pa rt It one is inclined to doubt Fitzsimmons' 158 will willingly show his teeth for .iuiiETiient, as one would examine a horse's masticators for an indication of its lon gevity, but the doubter and delver" Into purely personal matters would be so star tied by a sight of the fighter's open mouth that he would forget all about his original quest. Fitzsimmons' mouth Is a veritable Klondike and Kimoerley at once. Nearly every tooth in his head is partlv constructed with gold, and where the metal is sufficiently abundant diamonds are set in. The remarkable dental achievement was completed by an Illinois dentist bv the jiame of Riley, who is an ardent admirer of Fitzsimmons, and some time ago when the Australian was in the west he com plained to his professional friend of an rhiug tooth. The D. U. a promptly took him In hand, end !n the course of a few .says alter several visits to the dentist ti e latter pronounced the job finished and Ftiggested to Fits to examine his mouth with a mirror. Fitzsimmons was much surprised to find that in many of his teeth set firmly in the gold were diamonds of perfect cut and color. A few weeks later Fitzsimmons received an itemized bill of the job. duly receipted, with the compliments of his friend, the dentist. The particulars of the bill disclosed the fact that several admiring young ladies of the western town had contributed the sparkling- gems from their stores of jew els as slight tokens of appreciation for the acquaintance of a man who could de liver a hard punch and shoe horses. FACTS ABOUT FITZSIMMONS. History of the Cornishman is an In teresting One. Robert Fitzsimmons, a Cornishman by birth, an Australian by years of resi dence. Is said to be all the way from 37 to 47 years of age. He is tall, huge of chest and shoulder, skinny of leg. bald where his hair is not red. domestic in tastes and no brawler, although fond of "a quiet nip." For nearly twenty years he has been In the ring, beginning in Australia, fighting in that country during the old days when Sullivan was in his prime. Fitz and John L., in fact, were contemporaries, but while John gained in glory in America and England, poor Bob, a struggling blacksmith, worked at the forge and fought whenever a 5-pound note was in sight. Not till 18S9 did Bob rise from his obscurity, when he was sud denly conceded to be a good man, a "bloomin good one, doncherknow." A year iater he was upset by Jim Hall. To this day Robert, anxious to make people think he had ever been invincible, main tains that he laid down before Hall for People who saw the mill say that liall, hard pressed, fought "like a wild man, got his right across ft ml put Bob out as fair as couid be and Hall, in those da vs. was good enough for anyone. In May, lSaO, Fitz arrived In California. He whipped a few dubs In fancy style and was then sent against poor Jack Demp sey, whom he battered to a finish at New Orleana. This win made Fitz counted cerous and fur nine years he whipped IMP, THE WONDERFUL MARE, AND HER RECORDS. mm wfni mm all who dared to face him. He trimmed Peter Maher twice; knocked out Jim Hall and Pan Creedon. lost on an alleged foul to Sharkey and at last got into a ring with James J. Corbett, the fastest heavy weight who ever lived. Bob dug James in the stomach with his left in the four teenth round and was champion of the earth. He did not tight again for two years. "When he did he "got it good." James Jeffries administered the punching and did it gloriously. Since that time Red Robert has done nothing save to trim a dub or two. TO HAVE A FAST TEAM.

President Taylor will give more sup port to football than he has before, and the spirit that makes football teams is being rapidly built up at. the normal. He has said that he would not object to the teams playing a Thanksgiving day game and i3 heartily in favor of giving the team good coaching. Earl Carney, the head of the physiical culture department, has returned from his visit in the east, and the boys will be put to work as soon as school opens. After about two weeks, an extra coach will be brought here for the team. Among the old players who will return are: D. S. Fisher, captain; Caldwell, Hensley, Culp and Turkelson. Among the new ones who will be here are GilL- of Ottumwa, two Petersons of Downs, Davidson of Glasgow, A. Ise of. Downs, Charles Myers of Beloit. All Of these new ones have local reputations as play ers and may do good In Emporia. A training table, at which all the football players will eat, will be established at the opening of the school. TO BUY FITZ OFF. Noted Pugilist Offered $100,000 to Let Sharkey Defeat Him. New Tork, Aug. 22. The World says that Bob Fitzsimmons has been offered $100,000 by a Canadian of high financial Btanding to lose his fight with Sharkey and that Fitzsimmons treated the sug gestion with contempt.

The Canadian said he was eager to arrange matters in order that he might begin making bets at 10 to 8 odds. In speaking of the offer Fitz simmons said: "I am money proof.

Ben Jordan, the clever English feather weight champion, who arrived here on Saturday from England for the express purposeof meet ing Terry McGovern and no one else, will not have a chance to do so before September 1, when the Horton law ex pires. Sam Harris, manager of McGovern, says in a letter from Philadelphia that "Terrible Terry's" theatrical engage ments are such that it would be impos sible for him to meet Jordan before the 1st of the month. Here is Harris' reply to Jordan: "I am sorry to state that it will be impossible for McGovern to meet Ben Jordan before' September 1, as his the atrical engagements will not allow it. It seems strange that Jordan did not come over some months ago, and not wait un til the last momert. Everybody seems to be hurling challenges at McGovern just now, as they are all aware of the fact that Terry has contracted to ap pear at different theaters throughout the country. Otherwise they would never have been heard from. Now, if Jordan will meet Santry in the meantime I will cancel some of our engagements and Terry will take him on at his own terms, providing he wins. I willagreeto letTerry fight him anywhere in America before any responsible club that will give fair inducements. "Terry is the champion and is always ready to defend his title against all comers, and if it were not that he has been engaged to show throughout the country, I assure you It would not take me more than a minute to sign articles to take on Gans. Jordan and all other puguilists who say they are anxious, to meet him. "Jordan does not have to go home; let him meet Santry, and if he is successful Terry will meet him. I will post a for feit of $5,000 to this effect." CLUBS MAKE MONET. Western League is a Success and May Add St. Paul and Minneapolis. St. Joseph, Mo., Aug. 22.

The magnates are so much en couraged by the present showing that the league will be made stronger next year than ever before. Negotiations are in progress for the admittance of St. Paul and Minneapolis. This means eight clubs instead of six as at present. As a money maker Denver leads all other cities. Tebeau's profits will ex ceed those of any other club owner, $6,000 now representing his gain for the year. The next ball town in the league is Des Moines, according to box office receipts. This is largely due to the management of Hines., It is safe to say that the owners of the club will have $4,000 on the right side of the book when the season closes. Omaha will clear up $3,000; Sioux City, $2,500; St. Joseph, $2, 000, and Pueblo, $1,000. Denver will doubtless get the pen nant if the opinion of the majority of the club managers is accepted. Des Moines will be a close second, St. Jo seph third, Omaha fourth, Sioux City fifth and Pueblo last. TENNIS AT ABILENE. Attendance Small But Some Lively Games Are Flayed. Abilene, Aug. 22.

The west ern thre-year-old John Yerkes defeat ed King Bramble by the shortest of heads in the Fairview stud stakes, a selling affair at a mile. The pair raced a close company, and it was due more to the superior finishing powers of Turner over Mitchell than superior ability on the part of John Yerkes that caused him to win. The victory was a costly one for the owners of the winner, Robinson Leach, for Yerkes was bid up to $3,500 by Sam Hildreth, owner of King Bramble, an advance of $1,500 over his selling price. Baby Bill won the steeplechase over the short course, with The Cad second. The stewards were not satisfied with the riding of Carson on the latter, and they had both the jockey and the trainer of the horse. Wheeler, before them after the race. They decided to look into the matter -more fully and further investigation was postponed. Hawthorne Races. Chicago, Aug. 22. Searcher, a warm favorite in the first race, lost through a remarkable occurrance. The speedy colt was coming fast and would have overtaken Rustic Girl in the Btretch. When about 100 yards from the wire he stopped to kick at Martin, who was close on hia heels. This action caused the favorite to lose several lengths and he was unable to overtake Rustic Girl, althouerh beaten only half a length.

Colonel Thomas Wentworth Higginson, the venerable soldier and scholar, has applied for membership in the Massachusetts Bryan club. He intends to vote for Bryan. This statement was made public today by President Washburn of the Bryan club. Mr .Higginson, in his letter of ap plication, says that the issue of anti-imperialism now seems to outweigh all oth ers: and Mr. Bryan's late speech ought, in his opinion, .to command the respect of all thinking men. President Washburn in reply says: "It is one of the greatest pleasures of my life to Welcome you to membership to the club, and I assure you that every member of our organisation will be de lighted and encouraged at the accession to their ranks of so distinguished a gen tleman as yourself.

Senator Hanna opened the campaign of the Republi cans of New Jersey at Asbury Park, N. J., last night. An immense crowd, more than could be accommodated, gathered in and about the auditorium by the seashore. The senator was roundly cheered when he entered the building. He was introduced to the au dience by Frank Appleby, president of the Asbury Park city council. Senator Hanna after thanking the audience for the hearty reception ac corded him, Said: "We are on the eve Of a political cam paign second to none in importance, on the issue of which depends the prosper ity of the country. But I leave the dis cussion of that matter to a better hand, to those who will soon address you. '1 want to sound a note of warning tonight which the importance of the campaign justifies. I want to call your attention to the duty before you, not only to individuals but to the whole country. This is a duty that is not transferable. It can not be placed on your neighbor. It is your individual duty. "The time is at hand when every man is called on to contribute what he can to perpetuate this administration. It has been demonstrated beyond any doubt that the policy of the Republican party and President MciKnley stands for everything which means the welfare and wellbeing of the country at, large. "You can. not shirk this duty, because every man who has any property must feel that it is his fight as much as any one's and that he must light for his own Interests. "A note of warning has come from the national Republican headquarters. I am responsible for- that. I Anoiv the nature of the contest which is before us, and I tell youyou can not afford to take anything ;f op granted or to miss a trick. (Laughter and cheers). "We are confronted with a dangerous foe, and Bryanism is in the balance, and if that is killed how It is. killed for ever. "I will now ouote from jone of Gov ernor Roosevelt's speeches recently de livered by him, in .which he Bays: 'Every man who loves his country Is called upon now to stand .shoulder to shoulder to ..maintain the. prosperity which has given us so much.'- That is materially true. "There have been two object lessons presented to the people of this country. In 1892 under a Republican administra tion we found ourselves prosperous, the spindles were all busy in the factories and industries were busy on every hann. Then came a change. The people said they wanted a change, and they got it. "I will not picture to you how labor was men out oi employment anu now month after month it grew worse. Tou know all about that as well as I can tell vnil. "The people then wanted another change, and they got it. And what a change it was, and how the spindles besran to spin again in the factories, re sulting In happiness in homes all over the land. "Now do you want another change, and go back to the conditions that pre vailed in 1897? (Cries of "No, no.") "Then you must do your duty. I want New Jersey to set an example to the whole country one that shall be seen and recognized all over the land. (Ap plause.) "Over-confidence Is the worst feature of this campaign. No one can be blamed for confidence in what the out come will be after three years of Presi dent McKinley, but remember that We have an enemy which may be called the cuckoo' Dartv. which is composed or men of every shade Of political opinion, everv crank and every nihilist. They are all against us. We must be active nd it Is to impress this upon you tnai I am here tonight and to tell you your plain duty. In conclusion let me say, you must not neglect it."

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 22, 1900. 3 BRYAN'SJIPPEAL. Urges Republicans to Forsate Their Old Associations And Come Out Against Imperi alism and Trusts. SATS OUR PLAIN DUTY As Pointed Out by McKinley lias Been Neglected. Accuses Administration of En tire Change of Front. Uncoln, Neb., Aug. 22. Mr. Bryan addressed a large audience of Saunders county people at Wahoo, the county seat, yesterday afternoon. The point is SO miles north of Lincoln, and the trip there and back -was made during the afternoon. The speaking occurred un der the trees in the court house yard, and the largest' part of the enclosure was well filled, notwithstanding one of the heaviest rainstorms of the season had Just passed over the place, loaving the ground very wet and uncomfort able. The speech1' was one hour in length. Throughout it -was an appeal to Kepublicans to vote the Democratic ticket. U.ving his reasons for this appeal, Mr. Bryan said: I want to talk to you Republicans, believing that you are just as anxious to help your country and help your fel lows by your vote as the Democrats, the Populists and the Silver Republi cans are. If I did not have faith in the l:onesty, in the patriotism and in the good intentions of the Republicans I would not make speeches at all, be cause I would not want to make so many speeches and do so much work cirjiply to please men who a?rrt with me. But I desire to show you if I can that It is your duty to vote with us tliis fall." Continuing he said: 'Now, if you were with us In 1896, there is no reason why you should be against us now, unless the new ques tions have changed your opinion on the old questions. I do not believe you can lin i in this country any man who voted with us in 1896 and who understood the Issues then before the country who has changed his mind on those issues and now believes that the RepubUcan party was right in 1896. Therefore I want to talk to you about some of the new Issues for a little while and see if there la a man who voted with us on the old Issues who believes the Republican party to be right on the new ones. I believe you will find many people who were against us on the old issues who are now with us on the new ones, and will be on the old ones. The human mind is consistent. A man will apply the principle that he believes in to everv question before the public if you will just give him time. A man will go out of the party on one Issue, but if he Koes out and begins to apply to all Questions the principle t h;it be applied to the one issue, he is apt to be with us on all issues. We had men in '96 who came to us on the silver question; Re publicans who were not willing to turn over and vote the Republican ticket Just because the Republican party had changed its position on the money ques tion; Republicans who were 4n earnest In 1SSS when they denounced the gold standard; Republicans who were in earnest when they advocated bimetal lism in 1892, and therefore refused to take the Republican position on the money question in '96. And when they got out of the Republican party and began looking at the Republican party from the outside they found that the Eaine vicious principles ran through all the Republican doctrines, and today they are with us, not only on the silver oue.stion, but upon all the new questions also." Mr. Bryan referred to the financial question, saying: "The Republican party is trying to cay the same deception that it prac ticed in '96 on the monev question. iWhen I say that the Republicans prac ticed deception Qfi the money question in '96, I do not want any Republicans here to think that I mean they were dishonest in their advocacy of the Re publican position in 1S96. The Repub lican party held out the false hope of international bimetallism. I want to assert today that the Republican lead ers never intended that we should have International bimetallism in 1896. The Republican leaders wanted the gold standard then just as they want it now, but they held out before the people the delusion of international bimetallism. The president sent a committee of The Oldest and Best S. S. S. !s a combination of roots and herbs of great curative powers, and whea taken into the circulation searches out and removes all manner of poisons from the blood, without the least shock or harm to the system. On the contrary, the general health begins to improve from the first dose, for S. S. S. is not only a blood purifier, but an excellent tonic, and strength ens and builds up the constitution while purging the blood of impuri ties. S. S. S. cures all diseases of a blood poison origin. Cancer, Scrofula, Rheumatism, Chronic Sores and Ulcers, Eczema, Psoriasis, Salt Rheum, Herpes and similar troubles, and is an infallible cure and the only antidote for that most horrible disease, Contagious Blood Poison. A record of nearly fifty years of successful cures is a record to be proud of. S. S. S. is more popular today than ever. It numbers its friends by the thousands. Our medical corres pondence is larger than ever in the history of the medicine. Manv write to thank us for the great good S. S. S. has done them, while others are seek ing advice about their cases. All letters receive prompt and careful attention. Our physicians have made a life-long study of Blood and Skin Dis eases, and better understand such cases than the ordinary practitioner who makes a specialty of no one disease. T"S """N s are doing great good to suffering XS X humanity through jKj) our consulting de- v-- partment, and invite you to write us if you have any blood or skin trouble. We make no charge whatever for this service. IMfi SWIFT SPECIFIC CO ATLANTA, 6A. three distinguished gentlemen to labor with the European nations and try to get those nations to Jielp us. Did they succeed? Of course they did not. We told you in 1896 that tfiey would not succeed. You could not expect England to join with us in restoring bimetallism. Now, how can you tell whether the Republicans were in earnest or not when they held out. that promise? If a man sets his heart on a thing and does not get it he feel3 sore and sad and un haopy and sorrowful- You cannot find a Republican, today that felt sorrowful because they 3id not get international bimetallism that they promised to get In 18i6. (Aplpause.) "Now the Republican party today does not talk in favor of silver at all. There is no talk about international bimetal ism. If international bimetallism was good in 1896, it is good now. If the dou ble standard was desirable in '86, it is desirable now. Then, why is it that the Republicans do not talk about it? Because they did" not want it in '96." Speaking of trusts, he said: "The Republican party is trying today the very same policy on these other questions that it tried on the money question in '96. They attack the trust question in their platform, and yet you can not find a Republican paper and read, if it is a daily, for a week, and if it a weekly paper, for a month, with out finding a defense of the trusts. The Republican platform denounces the trusts and the Republican editors are spreading before the public arguments defending the trusts. You will be told what a liberal man the man at the head of the trust is. You will be told of the great advantages to be derived from the corporations because of the perman ence in the emplyoment of men. Now, why is it. It is because the platform is hypocrisy. The Republican party does not intend to destroy the trusts, but under a cover of a platform denouncing the trust leaders are trying to quiet the minds of the people and make them accept the trust as a good thing. "I want you who have been voting the Republican ticket to ask yourselves how the Republican policy is going to help Late Picture of m ll

sJ the people of this community. Let every man ask himself how the trust is going to help him. I would ask that, but I would be accused of appealing to selfish ness. The man who stands at the head of the trust- may be selfish, while the man being gouged can not be selfish. It is all right for the head of the trust to vote the Republican ticket and con tribute to the campaign fund, but if I tell you the man who pays the dividends ought to look out for his own interests, the Republican party says I am bringing the appeal down to too low a level. The man who buys a trust made article has as much right to look after his own interests in the campaign a3 the man who sells a trust made article. Suppose you want to buy barb wire. Haven't you a right to inquire, why has it gone up? Suppose you wanted to buy oil, haven't you a right to inquire why it has gone up? You know the Republi cans for years told us what a great blessing the Standard Oil company was to reduce the price of oil. That was because they were trying to secure all the properties. .Yet they have declared dividends so far of 40 per cent. Was it necessary to raise the price of oil in or der to make a dividend? And while this great corporation is amassing its wealth by means of monopoly, the Republican party does not raise one hand to stop it. Why is it that the Republicans can vote for the Republican party while it pro tects such monopolies as that. I want you Republicans who have been voting the RepubUcan ticket to ask yourselves this question: 'If the Republican party won't look out for your interests, why need you look out for the Republican party's interest? When Mr. McKinley sent his message to congress, saying it was our plain duty to give free trade to Porto Rico, those Republicans walked on the street and reechoed "plain duty." Then something happened. Some power behind the throne began to work. We have never been able to locate it exactly, but we know of its power, just as we know of a tornado, by its efleots. This power overrode the governor general of Porto Rico; this power overrode the peti tion of the people of Porto Rico; this power overrode the chairman of the committee on ways and means and com pelled him to bring in a bill directly the opposite of the bill he first introduced; this power overrode the president and made him sign the bill when he said it was our plain duty to' do the opposite, and the Republicans have to turn somer saults and say 'it is our plain duty to deny what was our plain duty before." It was last December when the president said 'plain duty,' and it was after that you men were shouting 'plain duty,' but a power greater than your adminis tration controls and that secret power was great enough to tear the flag from the constitution and to assort the doc trine that the president and congress are not restrained by the constitution when dealing with the people of the United States. (Great applause.) "Republicans, are you willing to turn over on this question just because your party has done a thing that you know is not right? The young republican whose back is so strong and supple that he can turn somersauls easily may keep on, but the old men are getting stiff and I do not believe they can turn much longer. Men like Governor Boutwell, of Massachusetts, and others who have received honors at the hands of the Republican party, men who have been prominent in Its affairs, but who hold their conscience above party allegiance, declare that they will not turn merely because the Republican party has turned on these questions. "It Is only a little more than two years ago, that the president sent a message to congress in which he said that forcible annexation is contrary to our code of mor ality and criminal aggression, and yet to day Republicans are asked to approve of a thing that was denounced as criminal aggression and against our code of moral ity less than two years ago. Has the code of morality changed? They have changed their code of morality and now assert that that is right which they even de clared to be criminal less than two years ago. I said that I had no fear that those who were with us in '96 are against us now, but I do believe that many people did not realize in '96 how the dollar was rising above the man In the consideration of government. I believe that many who did not realize then how organized greed had been pressing for consideration before the Republican party and securing special privileges from the government for private gain and I believe many of these realize on these questions what they did not un derstand of the old ones and there will be more people leaving the Republican party because of its position on militarism and imperialism than have ever left it in one campaign before In all the history of the Republican party." The remainder of his speech was de voted to the policy of the administration In the Philippines. One of his points on this subject was made as follows: "When Mr. McKinley spoke in Boston a year ago last February, he said that no sordid doctrine had entered into the Philippines question, but that It was just destiny and duty, and yet when Senator Lodge came from the city of Boston to preside as chairman over the Republican convention, he made a speech, in which he said that the Republican party made no hypocritical pretenses but that what we want is trade, and we want to expand that trade. A year ago last February the president said that no commercial idea entered into it, and Mr. Lodge now says that we are interested In the Philippines for the United States and that the trade question is the great question. Yes, the trade question has important influence in determining the policy of the government in the Philippine question. Take away the trade argument and you could not find a respectable guard to keep watch over the remains of imperialism. "If you could kill the Filipinos off, and then go over there and establish a repub- William J. Bryan.

lie and forget all about having killed them, you might get over it. But you do not dare to kill them off, because you would not have anybody to trade with over there. If you would kill the Filipinos off there would be no chance in the world for a carpet-bag government. You have got to let them live, and if they live, they have to be a part of you. They have got to be citizens, sharing in the destiny of our nation, or subjects." Mr. Bryan left Lincoln at 9:30 o'clock last niht for Auburn, in the southern part of the state. He will not return to Lincoln -mtil after the Populist notification ceremonies at To peka. BURLINGTON ROUTE. New Through Train to Portland and Puget Sound.

Alton and Union Pacific Officials Conferred Last Week. Tlce President Cowelson Given a Similar Place With Alton. Denver, Colo., Aug. 22. A practical confirmation of the story that the Chi cago Alton would soon run trains to Denver is apparent In the movement of Alton officials last week. It was said some time ago that the deal by which the Alton would control the Kansas Pacific branch of the Union Pacific, from Denver to Kansas City, was al most consummated, and recent denials have given way to the virtual admis sion that such action was about to be taken. The Alton officials last Saturday con Herred with President Burt and General Manager Dickinson of the Union Pa cific concerning the deal. A represen tative of the Morgan interests in the east was also present. This, taken with the announcement, almost simultaneous, that the Union Pacific's vice president. Cowelson, had been elected to a similar position with the Chicago Alton, makes the consolidation seem to be a certainty. The principal desire of the Alton road is said to be through train service to San Francisco. It is freely admitted that Alton trains to Denver are a sure thing. By closer relations with the Union Pacific and its Southern Pacific connections a through route to the Pa cific coast would be obtained for the Alton. Officials of both roads still deny that the Alton w ill purchase the Kansas Pa cific line outright, but prominent rail road men say that Chairman Harriman of the Union Pacific will do what he set out to do, and that if he wants the Alton to own the line the purchase will be made. THOUGHT ROBERTS DEAD. It "Was Reported That Well Known Engineer Had Been Killed in Braddock Wreck. Emporia, Aug. 22. A dispatch came here saying Engineer Al Roberts was Killed in the Braddock wreck. A com mittee from the Emporia lodge of B. of L. E. was delegated to meet the freight train in the evening on which his body was expected. The train pulled in about 9 o'clock and Engineer Roberts' body staggered the sorrowing committee by climbing out of the caboose and shaking hands all around. He didn't shake very bard, however, as ilia collar bone was broken and his left arm and shoulder terribly bruised. Roberts is now at his brother's, J. T. Roberts, the Commercial street flagman. Al says Walton station gave him the green board signifying a clear track to Peabody and he started alone down Whitewater hill with 83 cars that It took three engines to push out of Newton. When he came around the curve west of Braddock and saw 72 ahead of him he used the emergency air brake.but could't stop his long train. Fireman .Leslie, who was with him said: "What you going to to Roberts?" He answered: "Look for a eare place to light." About four car lengths from the rear end of 72, Roberts jumped one way and Leslie the other, both of them taking a good tumble. A car load of silver bul lion was immediately behind the engine and when the trains collided the silver burst out the end of the tender and swept the cab from the engine. When everything came to a standstill three en gines, a way car, 16 boxcars, wheat, coal and silver were among the fusion forces. herebeHorif E TA OIN SH RDL U N HANCOCK WEED BURNER. It Has Been Sent From Topeka for Service on Gulf lane. Galveston, Tex., Aug. 22. About five years ago Mr. George H. Hancock, then superintendent of machinery for the Gulf, Colorado Santa Fe, invented and built a weed-burning machine, which was used for some time on that line. Later it was sent to the Atchison, To peka Santa Fe, where improvements were made upon the original idea. W. C. Nixon, general superintendent of the Gulf, Colorado Santa Fe, today said that this Improved machine toad been sent to him from the Atchison, and that it Is now in service on the northern di vision getting rid of the weeds along the roadbed. It will be brought to the Montgomery branch, where the weed crop is said to be luxuriant within the next few days, and when those weeds have been cre mated the machine will be sent to the Paris branch, and afterward to other divisions where it is needed. Mr. Dixon says the machine burns the weeds off about sixty to seventy-five miles a day. Crude petroleum is the fuel used. PULLMAN IN THE WEST. The Denver Shops of the Company to be Opened Nov. 1.

But when we warbled thusly, why, we neither sang nor sung. CHORUS. -The warbling, warbling, warbling, warb ling Modocs from the Kaw; The warbling, warbling, warbling, warb ling Modocs from the Kaw; And when we sing, we sing, and when we sang, we sung. But when we warbled thusly, why, we neither sang nor sung.

But in the wild and wooly west, we're neither up nor down. CHORUS. The wooly, wooly, wooly, wooly, wild and wooly west; The wooly, wooly, wooly, wooly, wild and wooly west; And when we're up, we're up, and hen we're down, we're down. But in the wild and wooly west, we're neither up nor down. We've been to Cincinnati and we've been across the Rhine; We've been to San Francisco and we've sipped her rosy wine; And when we drink, we drink, and when we drank, we drunk. But it's so dry in Kansas we have neither drank nor drunk. CHORUS. Oh, sunny, sunny, sunny, sunny, sunny Kansas land; Oh, sunny, sunny, sunny, sunny, sunny Kansas land; And when we drink, we drink, and when we drank, we drunk, But it's so dry in Kansas we have neither drank nor drunk. We like Grand Army meetings where we're fed on Truth, you know; In fact, we're fond of eating when our dinner isn't crow; And when we eat, we eat, and when we ate we e't.

Suggestions For the Housekeeper Who Prefers to Do Her r Own Preserving. At this season of the year the careful provider begins to consider future needs and protect herself against the scarcity of fruits and such perishable food that can not be obtained in winter. Fruits play quite as important a part in the winter dietary as they do in warm weather. i SELECTING THE FRUIT. This must be done with care, and be of the best and in the right condition. It must not be over ripe or crushed for if more than barely ripe it will not keep bo well. And the fruit should be gathered In dry weather. Use only the best kind of sugar, granu lated. The common rules is equal weights of sugar and fruit, but this is not always necessary, as the proportion of sugar must vary somewhat according to the kind of fruit used, some requiring much les3 than others to make them palatable. If too much Is used It will cause candying of the fruit. If the air is excluded entirely after the fruit is thoroughly cooked, it will keep without sugar, but will not be rel ished. THREE METHODS USED. There are three methods employed In making jams. The first is to boil the crushed fruit for fifteen minutes, and then add the sugar (heated), three quarters of a pound being allowed to each pound of fruit. Cook from ten to thirty minutes after putting in sugar. The second meth od is to make a syrup and then boll the fruit in it, allowing pound for pound for acid fruits. The third is to allow equal proportions of fruit and sugar. Crush the fruit and cook both together over a slow fire until it jellies. Each method is good for its kind. WHAT FRUITS TO USE. Jams are usually made from fruits that contain a quantity of juice, such as straw berries, raspberries, currants and black berries. The fruit butters and marma lades are from the harder fruits. TO TEST WHEN DONE. In order to know when jams are suffi ciently cooked, drop a small quantity on a saucer, and when it looks dry and glis tens and no juice or moisture appears, it is done. THE COOKING. The closest attention is necessary In or der that it does not burn, as this would ruin the flavor. A steady but moderate fire Is required to keep up a regular boil ing. Agate or porcelain lined kettles should be used and wooden paddles for stirring. SEALING AND STORING. The jam should be put up in clean glass or small stone jars, and sealed or covered same as canned fruits and then stored in a gooI, dry, dark place that can be fre quently aired. If you do not possess a dark closet for preserves, save all the pa per bags in which you get your grocery supplies and cover the jars with these. CURRANT AND RASPBERRY JAM. This makes a delightful combination. Use one-third currants and two-thirds raspberries. Pick the stems from the cur rants, wash thoroughly, but do not mash. Pick over the raspberries, but do not wash them. Mash them and add to currants. Add three-quarters of a pound of sugar to one pound of fruit. Let stand a few hours; then drain off the juice, bring to a boil and add the fruit. Simmer until It is as thick as desired. THE MARMALADES AND BUTTERS. Almost all kinds of fruits are used for these, either singly or in combination, and the proportions are about the same as re. gards sugar and fruit; but the fruit Is cooked to a firmer consistency. It must be remembered that In making jams, jellies, etc.. it is the fruit and not the sugar that requires thorough cooking. In many cases it is best to boil and skim the fruit before putting in the sugar. THE ECONOMY OF HOME-MADE JAMS. Much depends on how the supply is ob tained. When the housekeeper has her own fruit the cost is very little if one does not count the hours spent over the fire in midsummer. And there is a great deal of satisfaction In having a well-stocked preserve closet. However, it is a doubtful question whether the housekeeper who must buy all her materials shows the most wisdom in putting up her own fruit or in buying. Many city houses are not well provided with pantries and cupboards wherein to keep more tfcap the stores that are necessary for immeuiate wants. To these it is a relief to know that they can get preserved fruits of all kinds that are just as good as "mother made," put up by first-class preservnig manufacturers. It is claimed, and with good reason, too, that these goods must necessarily be bet ter and have better keeping qualities than the home-made article. These firms em ploy chemists who test the acidity of the fruits, that vary from season to season in the same kinds. The sugar is then pro portioned according to the quality of the acid. Making them just right for the ordi nary palate and insuring their keeping perfectly. Recipes. Rice Waffles Beat the yolks of three eggs very light, add one cup of sour or sweet milk, beating rapidly. Melt two tablespoonfuls butter and add to three cups of plain, boiled rice and a teaspoon ful of salt. Sift three level teaspoonfuls baking powder with three cups of flour into a mixing bowl. Add the milk and egg gradually to the flour, beating to a smooth batter. Now add this mixture to the rice and beaten egg. and give the whole a good beating. Bake on well-greased waffle irons and- serve at once. Potato Croquettes. Cold mashed pota toes will answer nicely for these. Take two cups of mashed potatoes; add to eggs beaten light; two tablespoonfuls of cream, a tablespoonful of chopped parsley, a teaspoonful of onion juice, two table spoonfuls of melted butter, a grating of nutmeg and salt and pepper to taste. Mix all thoroughly, and place in a saucepan over the fire, and stir and cook untllthe mixture leaves the sides of the pan. Then turn out to cool. When cold enough to handle, form into cylinder-shaped cro quettes about two and half Inches long and an inch thick. Dip into beaten egg and roll in bread crumbs, and fry In hot fat same as other croquettes. Pressed Chicken Cut up fowls as for fricassee; place in a kettle and just -cover with cold water. Cover closely to retain the steam. Cook gently until the meat leaves the bones. When about half done, It will require about three hours to cook, and a teaspoonful of salt. When done re move bones, fat and gristle, chep up the meat Into cubes, keeping white and dark separate. Put the bones, skin and gristle back Into the liquor; add alice of onion, little parsley and stalk of celery- Reduce until' there -is about one-half, then strain. Season with salt and pepper. Put the meat in a square tin mold. In layers; then pour the jelly over it, cover and lay a weight on top to press It down. Corn Pudding Take twelve ears of corn, score and scrape out the pulp with a silver fork, leaving the hull on the cob. Separate three eggs and beat white and -yolk separately. Add the yolks to the corn. Then add fouf tablespoonfuls of melted butter, a teaspoonful of salt, a quarter of a teaspoonful of pepper and a pint of milk. Mix thoroughly. Beat the whites of the eggs to a stiff froth and add to the rest. Butter a pudding dish and pour in the mixture. Bake in a moderate oven for forty-five minutes. If the corn is hot sweet or freshly gathered, add a tablespoonful of sugar to) the mixture. Montrose Pudding Put one pint of cream in a double boiler and heat to scalding point. Beat the yolks of six eggs together with a cup of granulated sugar until light. Pour the boiling hot cream over this, stirring rapidly; then re turn to double boiler and stir and cook until it begins to thicken. Take from the fire and add another pint of cream and a tablespoonful of vanilla. Let get per fectly cold and then freeze same as ice cream. When frozen hard, pack in a round or melon mold, leaving quite a space in the center. Fill thi3 with straw berry -or raspberry water ice; cover over with the frozen pudding. Then cover the mold closely, so no salt can get in; pack in ice and salt, and let stand for at least two hours. This pudding is served with a Stewed Cucumbers Select large cucum bers; pare, cut into eighths and throw into cold water. Let stand for an hour.

Topeka's reputation for hospitality la at stake. This is "Greater Topeka" at last but i the expansion came too lata for the census taker. j The Republicans who said mean things about Senator Stewart four years ago I will please apologize. The weather man has not saved his I reputation. The rain came without his knowledge or consent. The city council is going to attend the Bryan reception. Have they secure the consent of Boss Croker Swayze People afflicted with the Belgian Hare mania may recover but their friends must suffer while the fever lasts. Of course Kansas corn was awarded the gold medal at Paris. The French are recognized as excellent judges. Mr. J. R. Burton has issued a "defl." He is still of the opinion that he is a candidate for United States senator. Anarchist Brescl's request for a delay In his trial is a useless attempt to re tard the revolutions of the Italian buzz saw. A man out at Osborne tried to orga nize a mob to hang John Breidenthal and the campaign is scarcely a month old. Few politicians die rich. John J. Ingalls was an exception. This is only another proof that be waa not like other men. A golf club has been organized at Wichita. That aristocratic millionaire, Vic Murdock, is probably" behind the scheme. Another of Li Hung Chang's' appeals has been rejected by Uncle Sam. U must be nursing a. few sore spots by this time. The dowager Empress of China can probably secure pointers from Oom Paul and Aguinaldo on how to conduct a por table government. Fred Stocks, the pretty man of the Kansas state senate has been defeated for renomination but then the women don't vote in Kansas. General Wood, it is reported, rode 120 miles in 24 hours in Cuba the other day. There are other Rough Riders even if this is a campaign year. What has become of Uncle Sam's de mand on the sultan of Turkey? At last accounts the Turkish ruler still had his hand on his pocketbook. At last accounts Congressman Charles Curtis had his ear very close to the ground. He Is listening for the rumble of the senatorial wagon and there are others. Perry Belmont has returned to the Democratic fold. Perry has never seemed to be entirely at ease since he became the step-father of the Duchess of Marl borough. Chairman Albaugh of the Republican state committee concedes the opposing political forces nothing but Mr. Al baugh is paid to make predictions of that kind. The regular soldiers of the Wild West show who were involved in a shooting scrape probably wanted to let the world know that they can fight even If they are not in China. Washington Post: Some of the gen tlemen who are making election predic tions might secure a little valuable pre liminary training by guessing on the census returns. Senator Marion Butler may not be in Topeka tomorrow. It is rumored that he fears that Adlai Stevenson may change his mind at the last minute and attend the exercises. Philadelphia Times: In-round num bers about $200,000,000 has so far been spent on the Philippines, though it can't be denied Aguinaldo has given the na tion a run for its money. The G. A. R. visitors in Chicago will find that while the census shows that New Tork is considerably ahead of Chi cago in population, the western town can give the Gothamitea lessons In hos pitality. Mrs. Maybrick, the American woman who has been in an English prison for eleven years has been allowed to give out an interview. Think of an American woman not being allowed to talk for eleven years. Tom Reed has been employed to make things lively for the New Tork police n account of the anti-negro riots, Mark Hanna probably hopes that when the ex-Maine statesman becomes thoroughly aroused he may be induced to devote ome attention to the Democrats. DE WET THE DODGER, fFrom the Philadelphia Record-! The roujjding up in South Africa of General Da Wat's command, which task iica engaged the attention of Lords Kitchener and Methuen for several weeks past, is as far as ever from con summation. Start!" out in the Caledon Valley with a few hundred men, the guerrilla chief has successfully eluded all attempts to capture him, and finally, with his followers increased to about 7,000 men, has has joined Delarey in the rude and inacessible country to the west ward of Pretoria. The fast flying Boers were able to escape from overwhelming British, columns specially equipped for speed simply because they knew the ground and could travel by night as rap Idly as by day. It would probably re quire half a dozen armies as large as those under Methuen and Kitchener to prevent the ubiquitous De Wet from ranging freely at will throughout the western section of the Transvaal. The failure of the flower of Lord Robert' army to capture this leader of the Boer guerrillas affords an indication of the gravity and difficulty of the task of sub jugation. Leaders like De Wet do not surrender, but fight until death. GLOBE 8IGHT3. fFrom the Atchison Globe. 1 Become good friends with a man, and he will soon lose no time asking you to take sides in a kin row. When a kin guest goes home, the man pf the house is always suspicious over what has been given her to carry home in her trunk. A man fools himself all the way in his walk into temptation with the be lief that he is going into it on purpose to show that he can resist it. This association with tender mem ories is a serious thing. An Atchison woman always has bean salad for a company dish because eating bean salad waa what killed her first hus band. The women are warned that every time they send an invitation to a man and his wife to attend a party, there is a fUES in the family: the man want ing to stay at home and the woman ob jecting. "My brother has lost all of his money, and we are going over to comfort him," Baid a man on' the Btreet cars this morning. He was accompanied by his wife and four children, and they were going to eat two meals each off the brother who had lost this money, and needed comforting. A very romantic Atchison girl be came delirious with a fever recently, and Instead of raving about flowers and summer days, the same as sick girls do in novels, she raved day and night about an old black sow on her uncle's farm. There Is no denying that the romantic don't live up to their opportunities. You can't fool Colorado people. Pierce Hussey and wife recently visit ed Mrs. Joe Brannan, of Cripple Creek, and Mrs. Brannan returned with them, to get what was due her. On her ar rival in Atchison, she discovered that living was much cheaper here than 'in Cripple Creek, and that she was get ting the worst of it, so she sent for her husband, and he will anive next week. What queer things the average per son laughs at. If some one slips and falls, or ia unfortunate enough to make any awkward blunder, the average person thinks It very funny and laughs and repeats the affair for a funny story. If some one makes an unfortunate re mark accidentally, hi3 embarrassment is always a theme for merriment. Wo men, who are supposed to be sympa thetic, are the ones who hve the larg est stocks of such funny stories. They always seem to be a success: people love to laugh at the misfortunes of others. POINTED PARAGRAPH 3 From the Chicago News. A woman's quest is usually a con quest. When In doubt it is a good plan to tell the truth. A noiseless street piano would fill a Jong-felt want. People who pose as practical jokers are apt to joke once too often. A dog's tail, like the heart of a tree, is farthest from the bark. Two men who are half-willed may have an understanding between them. Many of the most troublesome things in life spring from wrong inferences. The bickerings of a married couple at the seashore are murmurs of the tied. It seems impossible for some men to be civil while wearing a corporation uniform. If necessity is the mother of inven tion and also the father of lies, how are we to determine the sex? Nearly every big man imagines he is a born fighter until some insignificant little chap comes along and bluffs hbn. Listeners seldom expect to hear any good of themselves, but they are usu ally satisfied if they hear something bad of others. QUAKER REFLECTIONS. fFrom the Philadelphia Record. These are the dog days, and the cat nights. Of course, Maude, dear, a sun dial is a tort of time table. One's mot distant relative may live just around: the corner. "I'm sat upon so much," said the chair, "no wonder I've got my back up." The fellow who is forever getting left is the one who talks most about his rights. The average man who takes home a box of candy to hii wife eats most of it nimself. Summer Hotel Proprietor "How many fish did the guests catch on their trip this morning?" Clerk "Not a sin gle one." Proprietor "Heavens'. Then we'll have to buy some." "I saw Miss Gabbie talking to you this morning. I don't suppose she gave you so much as a chance to open" your mouth." "O, yes. I yawned quite fre quently she couldn't prevent that!" Willie (who is studying etymology) "Pa,what's the derivation of 'whisky?' Pa "H'm. Lemme see. I don't just know about the "whis," but I suppose the 'ky' stands for Kentucky." "There's a life-saving station along here somewhere, I believe," said the seashore visitor. "What kind are you looking fur?" asked the bibulous native; "the kind that saves yer from the ocean or from thirst?" IN HOTEL COtfUIDOHS. "The talent of remembering names and faces is one that I envy," said a gentleman at the Copeland. "We fre quently meet people who can quote vol umes of poetry or prose but the man who can remember names and faces Is a rarity. Politicians cultivate it to a certain extent, and we frequently here it said that such a congressman is ac quainted with the name and face of all his constituents, but it is always an un truth. He makes a bluff by shaking hands and being glad to meet every one, but excepting the people of his own town and the politicians of the other towns, he really could not tell the name of one man in fifty. It is seen oftener in hotel men who develop it to a sur prising degree, and they are the men to whom it is a straight business propo sition. If you stop at a hotel on one trip and return to it again several months later you will feel a great deal better if the clerk or landlord calls you by name, remembers your previous visit and acts as though he knew something or you. You will return to this place when you are in the town, provided of course that the accommodations were good. I have seen cases where the mind was naturally developed along that line without special training, and one such case came to my personal no tice while I was in Colorado this sum mer. I went to a small town up in the mountains where I had not been since the summer of 1S96. Then I had spent a week there visiting a friend, and during the week I had called for mail at the postoffice two or three times. This summer I had left orders for my mail to be sent there after me, and the evening of the day I arrived I went to the postoffice to see if it had arrived. The girl at the delivery window handed me a letter before I eoiild mention my name, and when I asked how she knew who I was replied: 'The letter came this afternoon and I noticed it at once and remembered you had been here several years ago. I afterward learned that it V"s seldom she ever forgot a name or a face and no matter how in. frequent the visit after once hearing the name she would retain it in connection with the face. I had another experience in Colorado that was still more won derful to me. I went into a barber shop in Pueblo and took a seat in the first chair vacant. The barber called me bv name, and I found he was a man I had known in Illinois seventeen year before. The strange part of it to m was that when he had finished shaving and got his brush and comb he asked. 'Do you still brush your hair dry?' Ho in the world that man could remembev for seventeen years how I dressed my hair strikes me as wonderful." "I think there are some strong points in "Tavor of the shirt waist for men and some strong points that are not favor able," remarked a man who will measure 48 inches amidships. "In the first place there is the natural objection that has been bred with habit to seeing a man running around In his shirt sleeves, and then there is something repugnant in the idea of sitting at table with a man with out a coat. It goes against the grain and makes one think of lunch counters and cheap hotels where the chamber maids from the livery stables board. In fact, a shirt sleeved man at table may be ever so clean but he carries with him the idea of the aroma of the stable. This might and probably would change after the custom was established, but the get ting accustomed to it will be hard. An other objection is that a fleshy man ar rayed in a shirt waist would not look well. Take a man built as I am, a 48 inch waist and a 40 inch chest, and the shirt waist costume ia calculated to make him present anything but a pre possessing appearance. It emphasizes the size of his bay window entirely too much and the comfort of the thing will be overcome by the discomfort of the attention he would attract. It might be all right for slender young men but for elderly stout men the shirt waist will be of no benefit. It is not a new idea any how. The Chinamen have been going about in shirt waists for a long time, on ly they wear the lower end of the shirt on the outside of their trousers, which, from a view to comfort, is a much more sensible idea than the proposed Ameri can mode. Young men who are con structed with wasp waists will hail with delight the shirt waist, but what can a man do who has outgrown his waist and has nothing to fasten a belt to No shirt waist movement can be a success unless it benefits the fleshy man for he is the one who is calling for relief. Unless something can be found which will not only be cool but which will look well on a fleshy man the desired object of the movement will have failed." "This is a Mexican cigar which I smuggled across the line at El Paso, Texas," remarked a traveling man at the National as he puffed the smoke of a by no means fragrant cigar. "I smug gled several boxes of these and I have formed a taste for them although moat people who are used to American goods object to them. I have been making El Paso for several years and I have learn ed that there is a great deal of smug gling done there in a small way. People will take the street cars, ride over the Rio Grande river to Juares and purchase several boxes of cigars or a few opals and return without fear of being stopped by the revenue men. The officer at the bridge will step in the car and ask if you have any dutiable goods, but unless you carry a suspicious looking bundle fou will not be bothered. I have fre quently given a greaser an order for several boxes of cigars while on the American side and that night he -would always have them in my room. There are any number of greasers who will fetch cigars by swimming or wading the river and will charge but a quarter for their services. Cigars cost about one half less in Mexico than In the United States. I knew of a roung man who had a job on the railroad as newsboy and who made quite a sum of money by smuggling. His run was between El Paso and San Antonio and he never made a trip out of Kl Paso without car rying at least $20 worth of cigars .and opals. He had an interest in a cigar stand in San Antonio which dispnised of a great quantity of his goods, but he supplied several other stands besides. By smuggling the goods and carrying them iree to fc-an Antonio he made a hand some profit but as is usual in such cases, he was at last found out and was obliged to leave the country to escape arrest. I have never smuggled with a view to profit, but do it as almost every one else does, just for the sake of smug gling. It is a temptation that few peo ple can resist no more than a small boy can resist the temptation to steal apples when he cannot possibly eat them and already has his pockets filled," Atchison District Epworth League Troy, Aug. 22 In the Methodist Epis copal church in this city, the first ses sions of the Atchison District Epworth league convention were held.

ETery One of the Dead Had Two or More Wounds. Miss Wallace Two, James Wal lace Two, Dillingham Three. Leavenworth, Aug. 22. There will be a large turnout of Leavenworth psople at the double funeral which takes place at Farley, Mo., today, when Mr. James Wallace and Mrs. William Wallace, vic tims of the wrath of Dr. S. P. Harring ton, are laid away. Mr. Wallace's fu neral will be attended with Masonic honors by the Farley lodge, of which bis son-in-law, J. W. Farley, is master.and from which Dr. Harrington was expelled some time ago. The church services will be conducted by Rev. Mr. Watson, of the Christian church, of Farley, over both bodies. Mrs. John Myers, of No, 726 Delaware street, of this city, is a daughter of James Wallace. Mr. Wallace was a na tive of Ireland and his father settled on the farm on which he resided in 1841, inheriting the estate. His father was well known to the Indian tribes inhabit ing Kansas and western Missouri in the '40a His brother William, the husband of the lady murdered by Harrington, died a few years ago, leaving a son, Richard, and a daughter, Mary, with their mother. Mary married Dr. Har rington and is now left with one child, a daughter, Maud, aged 8 years. Mrs, Harrington is highly respected. The funeral of Dr. Harrington, the man who killed Mr. and Mrs. Wallace, will take place in the afternoon. Har rington was the son of Jacob Harring ton, who resides near Waldron, and was born in Platte county. It is said he is a relative of Sheriff Dillingham, who also met death at his hands. Sheriff Dillingham's funeral is Bet for today, in case relatives from Kentucky arrive in time, J. W. Sexton, who embalmed all four of the bodies, says Miss Wallace was shot twice, once in the mouth and once in the back of the neck, the last cut ting the spinal cord. James Wallace was shot twice, once in the mouth and once in the abdomen, the bullet piercing the cavity. Sheriff Dillingham had three wounds, one in each leg just below the knees and one in the center of the fore head. The leg wounds were received first while Dillingham was squatted to try to see under the smoke caused by the fusilade between Harirngton and Can non. The shot in the forehead was re ceived when he rose. Harrington was shot five times. Can non wounded him in the shoulder and left hand and young Dillingham, son of the wounded sheriff, fired three shots into his body, one in each side of the breast and one in the back. Harrington fired three times at Cannon in the store before going out to his own death. Sheriff Dillingham had only recently stocked up his fine farm in Platte coun ty with blooded horses and cattle and had stated that he was preparing to take things easy after-the expiration of his term of office in January, 1901. ZINC GROUND CAVES IN. Bobbins Mill Swallowed Up by Sink ing of Earth. Galena, Aug. 22. A large eavein oc curred last evening on the South Side mining ground that completely swallow ed the Robbins mill. Fortunately, no person was in the ground at the time, and but three men were in the mill, en gaged at pumping water. A large force would have gone to work as soon as the water was sufficiently lowered. These men were warned of the, impending danger by a cracking noise of the earth beneath them and hastened out of the mill a sufficient distance to escape going down with it. The ground is still caving and it is feared the loss will be greater. The plant is owned by Congressman Bowersock and other gentlemen of Lawrence, Kan., and it alone is a total loss of about $8,000. SLUGGED AND BOBBED. M. P. Monigan, a Teamster, Held Up, Footpad Gets $74.70. Pittsburg, Kas., Aug. 22. Last night about 11 o'clock M. P. Monigan, a team ster in the employ of the Pittsburg Vitrified Brick company, went to the police station and complained to the night men that he had been slugged by a footpad and relieved of $74.70. Monigan did not hear the thief come up behind him. The next thing he knew was that some fellow struck him from behind with a sling shot or club and knocked him unconscious. He lay where he fell for about two hours. A WINTER REUNION. Family of Thirty-Eight, Including Cousins and Aunts, ia Camp, Blue Rapids, Kas., Aug.' 22. A. E.

Rush of Grain May Help Oat State Grain Department. Hare Bun Behind Several Thousand Dollars. The state aadministratlon has hopes that the present rush of grain to mar ket will bring sufficient revenue to pay off the deficits which, in the sum of several thousand dollars, exists in the department of grain inspection. Tha wisdom of the legislature pro vided that the employes of the state grain department shall not at any time be paid more than the amount re ceived at their respective stations. As an illustration of this: A local in spector whose salary might be from $40 to $75, were the revenues sufficient to pay the amount of this salary, would receive $10 or $15, the remainder being still due the man for labor. Under the provisions of the law the local inspectors, therefore, take what they can get and trust to luck for the balance. Still there are hundreds of men who are willing to serve the state on this kind of half pay, and some of those who were disappointed in obtain ing appointments in this department are now knocking on the re-election of the governor. Tha rush of grain to market has caused the hope that these deficlences will be paid in full, because the legisla ture would probably be asked to re lieve the distress which is occasioned when a man only receives a small por tion of his salary. The administration is dodging defi ciences, and hopes to go to the legisla ture with clear balances on its books. For July the grain department col lected In fees $1,800 in excess of the ex penditures. This will be applied on the payment of the deficiences which ex ist. No accurate record of the actual amount of these deficiences is now at hand, but the amount is said to be sev eral thousand dollars. The business for August, which up to date has been a record breaker, promises to leave a greater balance than there was in July. All of these excesses will be applied on the defi ciencies, and the probabilities are that the deputy inspectors will, before the expiration of the wheat rush, receive all the money to which they are en titled. Troops Needed at Shanghai. New York, Aug, 22. The executive committee of the American Asiatic as sociation has received the following cablegram from the American Associa tion of China at Shanghai, and have forwarded it to the secretary of state: "Situation Kang Tse valley increas ingly critical; military estimate 15,000 troops needed effectively to protect Shanghai; urge government immedi ately to send quota."

Tha Kind Yen Have Always Bought Bears the Signature of fMYORJSJOUSED Orders Arrest of All Jointists in Topeka. Says Unless Things Change Will Be New Police Force. There never was a time In Topeka when so many Jointists were arrested in the same length of time as there were Tuesday evening and this morning. The business began with the arrest of Geo. Klauer and has been going merrily on up to the present time and will continue to go on as long as the joints run and a jointist can be found. The list for Tuesday includes Geo. Klauer, Larry Sheehan, O. Kempton, James Kiley, Clarence Wood, Bob Shel by, Wood Fowler, Ed Ryan. C. H. Wheeler, H. Clark, II. Dowling, Geo. Anderson, Ed Tlmon, Jas. Sheasley, S, Kline, H. Hallis, Frank Murphy and Geo. Buford, eighteen being the total of the day's work, Today the roundups resulted in these names appearing on the police register; Buck Campbell, Ed Timon, S. Fields, Ed Ryan, C. H. Wheeler, Billie Kiley, Geo. Anderson, Bob Shelby, Wood Fowler, S, Kline, A. B. Hallis, James Sheasley, Mike Sim mons, Wm. Wood, Harry Wood, Geo. Buford. Frank Murphy, Geo. Klauer and Larrie Sheehan, and before the day is over about ten, more names will be added to this list. The total of the two days shows 41 arrests under the charge Of selling liquor. Of course there is little or no evidence against the majority of the men, and they will be discharged, but it is the orders from the mayor that the jointists be arrested every day and every hour, if that is necessary, to drive them out of the business. In the raids the po lice have captured ten kegs of beer, a number of bottles of whisky, beer pumps, glasses and a dozen temporary bars. There will be a determined ef fort to keep the places closed tomor row, and with the aid of the extra policemen who will be put on the force on account of the notification meeting this will probably be done. The crowd which comes to Topeka tomorrow will patronize the drug stores or go dry. The sudden activity of the police was caused by Mayor Drew who went to the station and told them that unless they did better work at arresting Jointists there would have to be a change in the police force. Mr, Drew said this morning: "In jus tice to the police department I want to say that they were preparing to raid the joints when I went to the station. They had been collecting evidence before making the arrests but their work was too slow and I am determined that quick action should be taken, I had been thinking of this for several days and yesterday the sight of beer wagons pass ing back and forth before my office made me decide to take immediate steps. If there is not a great change by Septem ber 1 in the matter of arresting jointists there will be a change in the police de partment and I will reorganize the entire force from top to bottom. The force is small and can not do all the work re quired but it can do better work in re gard to stopping the open running or joints and I am determined that it shall. This is the third and last time that I have spoken to the police on this sub ject. I feel that I should not be com pelled to do this: they should take care of the joints without my telling them The mayor was highly pleased with the work done up to noon today and said: Now that s the way. Arrest them right along just as soon as they open for business and they will soon get tired and quit," The raid was a surnrise to the jointists. in as much as they were actually locked ud until thev crave bond. This is an ino- vation that is a disagreeable one to the jointists, out tne practice will Da contin ued in the future. All the men arrested gave bond and were released and It will be noticed that some of them who were arrested yester day were arrested again today. This means that as soon as released they again optmwu ie jouns. MRS. H0LLCRAFT SUES; Wants Divorce From Husband, Well Known Character. Mary E.

The Moore-Thayer Brokerage company of Kansas City is furnishing the money and other necessary bucking for tha construction of the railroad proposed from Westmoreland to Wamego. M. A. Low and A. L. Williams, the general representatives of the Rock Is land and Union Pacific in Kansas, deny the statement that these companies have any association with the proposed line, past or prospective. The promoters of the line which was built two years ago from Blaine, on the Leavenworth line of the Union Pacific to Westmoreland, are those Interested in this brokerage company. The impres sion has gone abroad that the Rock Island or the Union Pacific, perhaps both, were pushing this line which is now proposed from Westmoreland to Wamego. and at some time in the future to be extended to Emporia. September 10 two townships in Potta watomie county will vote on a proposi tion to give this proposed line $75,000 in bonds to aid the construction. The im pression is that the Hock Island or the Union Pacific are the real power behind the plan but the absolute denial of this rumor on the part of the company offi cials put all such rumors at rest. It is a private enterprise being engineered by the brokerage company. THOSE HEATING PLANTS. Work of Remodeling School House Defects Commenced.

WHEAT Again wheat registered an advance of c. tha eause of which had its origin in Liver pool's failure to send up the low cables which we expected. The first cables were 4 to d higher and the closing cables 'm'H d higher for the day. Paris wheat closed up 3 to 10c higher, and the tone of the market was very strong. The cash business in wheat yesterday amounted to 115,000 bushels of No. 2 hard. Minneapolis wires: "Two weeks ago we thought north west crops, althought light, would be of excellent quality, recent rains, however, have changed the situation, nut only as to quality but to quantity also." Direct re ports from there confirm the fact that any quantity of their meagre yield has been spoiled by sprouting in the shock. In the Chicago pit Hubbard Warren and Candy were good buyers of wheat, and the com mission houses in general seemed to hava good buying orders. Receipts here were 249 cars or about 60 less than the same day last year, and they found ready buy ers at from hi to o advance. The pres ent ligrht receipts from Kansas Indicate that the heavy movement will soon ceuHf, when we look for a radical advance from present figures. CORN Corn closes c under last night and the reason is found In copious rains throughout Kansas and Nebraska. A prominent Burlington official here says: "We have heard of no serious damage to corn along our line. Rain is needed at same interior points, but not badly. Most advices say plant is maturing rapidly." And in opposition to this we quote the government weekly Crop bulletin: "Corn has suffered from drouth and Intense best in western Kansas and Nebraska, and there is no doubt but that the yield h-s but out from a quarter to a third." Omaha wires, "Heavy rains have fallen through out the state during the last 48 hours, as suring success of corn crop, which will yield about 3(A0uO,0OO bushels." Kecetpts of corn were 15 cam. and there is no evi dence at hand to prove that they will be any larger until the new crop Is assured bevond a question of doubt. The visible supplv is small and most all the corn Is in the hands of those who -can and will operate it to their own end. We do not look for any great change in corn. TALK flo. 105. Outgrowing Defects. A good many people who have de fects of the eye think that if they let them alona they will get bolter of themaelves. They think that if a child shows signs of cross eye. lie will out-grow it. If he is near sighted they have only to wait and he will some day be able to see as far as anyone. There was never a greater mistake. Defacts of the eye never grow better of themselves. In nearly all cases they grow worse. The only safe way 1 to have evry defect correc ted the moment you are aware that it exists. Do not let it go a single day. The first in dication of eye strain, the first blurring of the vision. Is nature's warning. You can not afford to let it go unheeded. Correctly fitted glasses will relieve and strengthen the eyes and in some cases cure the defect. My exclusive attention is given to fitting glasses. CHA5. BENNETT, OPTICIAN, 730 Kansas Avenue. Kstabllaheil 1379.

Holman, Tom Anderson, H. L. Shirer, Mrs.W. von Dahlen, Mrs. F. Fos ter, George Crane and David Bowie met in the Commercial rooms this morning and settled the matter of tickets for the week's entertainment incident to the op ening of the auditorium. Every seat will be reserved each night during the week. To do this 38,000 tick ets will be required. There will be 2,000 season tickets. The 6eason tickets will come in strips of six checks. One check will bear the words "Auditorium season ticket. Price Each of the o'.her checks may be exchanged at the ad vance sale office for a reserved seat ticket. By using the season ticket a cav ing of 50 cents is made. Another meeting will be held Boon at which time the matter of getting posters and decorating the auditorium for the opening will be taken up. It is the opinion of the committee that the state should be liberally billed with one-sheet posters in two colors. There will either be no decorations at all or else there will be an elaborate at tempt at beautifying the auditorium for this occasion. It has been decided that if any decor ating is done nothing but the best kind of display will be tolerated. To do it right will require a great deal of money and there has been a little talk of cut ting out all plans in this direction. 'How ever, this is hardly likely. The committee visited the building this morning to look it over and see what could be done in this matter. The scaf folding has not been removed from the interior of the building and for that rea son no plans could be mane. The metal patterns for the celling have arrived and the work of placing them in position is nearly completed.

NEW "LIS BETH." Misa Mortimer Prove Her Adapt, ability at the Crawford. "Lisbeth," the typical Pike county girl of Augustus Thomas' "In Mis souri." waa on the stage of the Craw ford theater in all but reality last night. The character waa in the hands of Miss MISS LILLIAN MORTIMER. Lillian Mortimer, and she again demon strated her ability. Several "Lisbeths" have been seen in Topeka since Thomas' drama became a familiar stage story, but none showed to better advantage than Miss Morti mer's "Lisbeth" last night.

The people are ca pable of putting It -on in satisfactory style, but they are as yet unfamiliar with the respective parts. The prompt ers were compelled to be very busy dur ing the performance and lapses were several times responsible for laughable scenes. At one time Mr. Wheeler, who had the part of "Will Travers," forgot all his lines but the one which, reads "It was in self-defense. They are ten to one," and in default of something better to do he kept repeating it. The effect was entertaining to the audience. The specialties are all good. Jules Kusel deserves credit, as well as the negro monologue artist, J. A. West. Tonight the bill will be "Pawn Ticket 210." Baby Lund will again be seen in her specialties. BABY LUND HAS FUN. A man in the right proscenium box at the Crawford theater combined with Baby Lund in entertaining the audi ence between the second and third acts of "In Missouri" last night. He is the boss of the asphalt repair ing gang during the working hours of the day, and if he ha,d side whiskers and a little more brawn would make an ideal 'Taffy" of the Du Maurter novel. He evidently came to the theater to enjoy himself, for hia first move on reaching the box was to adjust himself In a comfortable position without re gard to outside appearances. This con sisted in placing his feet on the rail of the box and sliding the chair far enough back to allow his head to rest severaj inches below the top. He manifested sufficient solicitude in the matter of bagging his trousers at the knees to acquaint people at the rear of the theater wit the fact that tit wore white cotton hose. By the time Baby Lund flitted on the stage the man had changed from hia original position to the extent of sev eral inches elevation of the knees and a corresponding fall In the location of his head. He proceeded to go into ecstacies over her appearance, and rolled his head from side to side in a spasm of delight. The child on the stage noticed the exhibition. The audience in the theater could not help but do the same. But the man in the box was oblivious to public opinion. His whole attention was centered on Baby Lund. When the little artist finished her opening song, "My Wild Irish Rose," and started off the stage she threw a kiss to the performer in the box. The effect was magical. It was as if a strong electric current had suddenly taken possession of his frame. The audience in the theater saw two white rings and something that looked like an electric fan in motion above them. The first represented the evolu tions of the white cotton hose. The man's hands were responsible for the second effect. The outlines of the human form were only becoming visible when Baby Lund made her second appearance, on the stage. Rapidly, however, the man re sumed his former position when the child again came in sight. He was look ing for further recognition. He did not have long to watt. Baby Lund recognized in him an easy victim. She soon took the opportunity to wink at him in a most knowing manner. The New Boundaries Fixed the "Strip," Johnson's tract, Christ hos pital, Brooks' tract, and a tract two blocks long by one block wide in College Hill addition which includes the resi dence portion of that addition. In all the property annexed amounts to about 235 acres. The strip 40 feet wide on East Fairchild street from city limits to the river was taken in because that la man clasped his hands over his heart and started his head on another side to side roil. Baby Lund kept up her play on hia susceptibility. His re sponses were prompt and grotesquely original. At every exit the little enter tainer kissed her hands to him. and he never failed to turn himself into a hu man hurricane at the honor. The people on the first and second floor laughed at the exhibition. The "gods" in the upper story howled with delight over it. Baby Lund enjoyed it The man in the box didn't care. When the box performer recovered from the attack following the child's finalexit he looked disappointed. "That kid can have me," he was heard to say, POPULIST CONVENTION.

ASKED JOJESIGH Duval and Campbell "Grace fully" Retire Under Fire. Pre-Arranged Resignations Ac cepted With Much Formality. A NEW CONVENTION. Fnsionists to Meet at Ilutcnin- son September 10 To Nominate Congressional Can didate in Seventh District. Claude Duval and I. P. Campbell, the Democratic and Populist nominees for congress in the Seventh district, at the request of the central commitees, have tendered their resignations as candidates and the two committees have called a mew convention for Hutchison Septem ber 10 to nominate a candidate. Vht Populist committee held a meet ing at Hutchinson yesterday afternoon and notiried the two candidates that they were expected to withdraw. Immediately thereafter the committee received by special messenger sealed en velopes containing the resignations of the respective candidates for congres sional honors. All of this was prearranged, but never theless the Populist central committee adopted the following commendatory resolutions: 'Resolved, By the Populist congres sional committee of the Seventh district of Kansas, That we highly appreciate the loyalty to principle and devotion to the cause of the people which has led I. P. Campbell and Claude Duval to vol untarily place their resignations in the hands of their committees, thus making it possible for all reform forces to unite on one candidate for congress in the dis trict. The ir action has shown them to be men of high courage and principle, and places the Populist party not only of this district, but of the state and na tion, under lasting obligations to them for their self-sacrificing generosity." Chairman George T. Pitts of the Dem ocratic committee was present and e greed to calling a new convention for September 10 and will issue the call at once. The friends of Mr. Duval are en thusiastic over the success in settling the difficulty, and they believe that Mr. Du val, when the conventions meet, will be nominated by acclamation. Mr. Duval Etated yesterday that he would still remain in the hands of his friends and they may do as they see fit with him In the future as in the past. It is the plan to have a one-roof con vention and Campbell and Duval will both go before the convention seeking the nomination. The majority of the delegates In the two parties, in one convention will pro bably be required for the nomination. Aa this has been Duval's contention con cerning his individual popularity be is confident of being the nominee. "CYCLONE" DAVIS HEBE.

Gove County People Enjoy a 'Water melon Treat From the Governor. Governor Stanley and "Bin" Reeder, tt Sixth district congressman, were to gether at Gove City last week on a speaking tour. The governor saw a load of water melons being driven by the hotel, and he at once invited Reeder to contribute towards the purchase of the entire load. Then the governor got a long knife from a hardware store and after call ing "everybody to step up and have a piece of melon," rolled up his sleeves and carved the melons while the peo ple ate them. This was entirely non partisan, non-sectarian, and the color line was not drawn. NOMINATE A SOLDIER." Twentieth Kansan Honored by Cloud County Republicans. The Republicans of Cloud county.

Mad Because Bryan Comes to Topeka via Atchison. The Kansas City, Mo., and Kansas C.'ty, Kan., fusionists. are kicking because the Kansas Populist committee switched Bryan off at Atchison and did not per mit him to come to Topeka through Kan sas City. The Democratic committee is saying some uncomplimentary things about the arrangement and the complaints which have been made are being aired on the streets and in the newspapers. In Kansas City it is charged that Chair man Ridgley had Bryan come through Atchison just to show the Democrats who moved their headquarters to Kansas City that everything does not necessarily ema nate from that town. This is a Populist show, anyhow, say the Populists, so they are not much con cerned about the Democratic kicks. ALIBI INCOMPLETE. Half an Hour of Time is Unaccounted For. New York, Aug. 22. The police con tinue actively at work trying to clear up the mystery of the murder of Kate Scharn In her apartments last Satur day. The detectives declared today that there is half an hour unaccounted for in the alibi set up by the girl's brother, Frederick, to clear himself. Young Scharn is now in the Tombs, where he is held without bail. Notwithstanding their suspicions against Scharn the police are trying to find other clues and are searching for the man with whom the murdered girl went shopping on the day of her death. BIG ELECTION" BET. $30,000 Placed on McKinley Against 10,000 on Bryan in New York. New York, Aug. 22. If the odds quot ed by betting men are any Indication the chances of Mr. Bryan for election are Improving. A week ago the odds were 3 to 1 and even 4 to 1 against Mr. Bryan. During the last week the odds have re ceded to 2 to 1. The largest bet recorded Is $30,000 to $10,000 against Mr. Bryan. V. Bell, the horseman, took the long end of it. Jack McDonald, the ex-bookmaker and inti mate friend of Richard Croker, is the other party, though Croker is believed to share it McDonald said, significantly, that he had never seen Croker so confi dent over any thing as he is over the elec tion of Bryan. Tammany men generally are offering $1,000 to $700 that Bryan wiil have 30,000 majority in the old city of New York. SEVEN KILLED And Others Unaccounted For as a Re sult of a Wreck. New York. Aug. 22. In a freight train collision at Kenisco, N. Y., last night, seven persons were killed and others are missing. Kensico is on the Harlem division of the New Tork Central rail road, about 16 miles from New Tork. While a freight train was. standing at the depot, a second freight dashed into the rear of it.. The engine of the second train smashed the caboose of the. first train and then turned over. Reports from the scene of the accident say that the engineer and fireman of the second train are dead under the Wreck, and 4hat two others -of the train crew are buried in the debris, and others are also unaccounted for. So far as can be learned the acci dent was caused by the engineer of the second train running past a block signal that had been set against him. Ti.e engineer was "William Sanger bach, of New Tork. and his fireman was John Cassidy, of New York. New York, Aug. -22. Last evening's wreck on the New York and Harlem railway at Kensico caused the death of three trainmen, William Lauterback, engineer; Henry Cassidy, fireman, and William Abriel, brakeman. Several per sons reported as missing have been found. A coroner's investigation will be made to determine the cause of the wreck. FARMERJBJECTS. John Watson, of Clay County, Talks About Old Corn. Says Amount on Hand is Much Exaggerated. FIGURES FOR MARCH. Ail Estimates Were Made at That Time. False Reports Work an Injury to Cattlemen. The long absence of rain in Kansas has caused old neighbors and life-long friends to quarrel about the condition of the Kansas corn crop and there are supporters of two propositions doing business in the state. One is that the corn crop is short; another Is that this makes no difference, owing to the amount of old corn on hand, which, ac cording to. Secretary Coburn's report, was 50 million bushels March 1. The fact that Kansas had on hand a large supply of old corn was very en couraging to those who were feeding cat tle, but John Watson, a cattleman from Clay county, who is now feeding, takes exception to the statement concerning the large supply of corn in sight and has written to the State Journal the follow ing letter: "The manipulators of the wheat and corn market have been busy working disadvantages to the people who deal in actual corn and wheat by juggling the reports to advance the price of corn. The cattlemen and others who have to pay out good money for the corn or wheat which they purchase pay the pen alties inflicted by the speculators who thump the market up and down and thereby make money. "The supply of old corn on hand March 1 has nothing to do with the pres ent situation. March 1 was five months ago and thousands of bushels of that supply have been consumed by feeding since that time, each month. The spring seed has -come from that; the farmers have brought their horses through the summer and the facts are, in my opin ion, that the large supply of com which existed at that time is now considerably diminished. "The people of the state do not admit the fact, of course, that the corn crop is not what was expected but the plain truth is that the yield will be much smaller than was anticipated. "The price of corn at this time indi cates the condition of the supply. Sel dom if ever has the price gone up at harvest time as it has this year. The drouth pushed the price up, everybody knows that, and the continued absence of rain cut the crop to such an extent that the price has continued to advance. "The speculators have been manipu lating the information concerning the supply on the boards of trades so as to keep the price down while they bought all there was in sight to buy. Then they hold for the rise which is sure to come. "The corn cribs of the country where a year ago there were thousands of bushels are now empty. Ride qlong the railroads of the state and see the im mense cribs without an ear in them. If the corn crop of Kansas reaches half a crop, in my opinion, the producers may count themselves lucky. I have traveled from one end of the state to the other and know that the information which I have is true. Jewell, the banner corn county has only a half a crop this year, in fact some of the reports from there indicate less than that. A part of the county has a good wheat crop but the rule of Jewell applies throughout the north and western part of the state. "The corn crop is short in yield and the supply of old corn is very.rnuch di minished from the reports which we have had. "I do not write this letter in a spirit of criticism of Mr. Coburn's report, which as to the available supply last March was undobutedly correct as his reports are, but that supply is now diminished. Its decrease is due to several causes seeding, feeding and shipping, but I feel justified in saying that it 13 unfair for the newspapers of the state to main tain that Mr. Coburn's figures for March are applicable at this time. This infor mation going abroad while it is good to say, comes back upon the feeders and buyers with redoubled energy when the actual conditions are known." AT THE GATES OFJHE PALACE TContlnued from Fage 1 nese authorities on whom new arrange ments can be imposed. The action of the southern viceroys, too, shows that the campaign in the north has had an excellent effect in checking the further spread of anti-foreign agitation. The Chinese minister here has hand ed to the foreign office for transmission to Lord Salisbury Li Hung Chang's note suggesting that a plenipotentiary should be appointed to negotiate with him. His communication is couched in a tone of cool assumption, which ex cites a certain amount of indignation. The Times and other papers had ar ticles angrily denouncing Li and sug gesting that no notice should be taken of him. The aged viceroy is profound ly distrusted by what may be called the Anglo-Chinese colony here, which is not without influence on the foreign of fice. It is urged that there is no proof that LI is not playing his own hand, rather than genuinely endeavoring to extricate China from her difficulties. His influence has for some time past been ovreshadowed by the violent reac tionary Manchu party, and he may now be trying to get even with his enemies, or, again, if he is volunteering his serv ices the powers may find that as soon as peace is patched up and the allied con tingents withdrawn Li will be repudi ated, as has happened before, on the ground that he has exceeded his au thority. It is also said that Li dislikes England more than any other European nation and has more than a preference for Russia. It is, therefore, thought that if possible negotiations should take place in Pekin and Li's intervention dis pensed with. But this, of course, again depends on the possibility of finding anybody in Pekin to negotiate with. GERMANS DELAYED. BY RAIN. Berlin, Aug. 22. The German war of fice has received a dispatch from Taku, dated August 17, saying me advance of the German battalion was delayed by violent rains. It reached Pekin August 17. Yang Tsun, it is added, was still threatened by the Chinese troops on the imperial canal. ONLY TROUBLE SEEN AHEAD. Washington, Aug.22. The war depart ment announced early in the day that it was n receipt of a casualty list from General Chaffee, and this was made pub lic about noon. It was learned, however, that the Chaffee dispatch contained a considerable amount of matter beside the list of killed and wounded and it was the subject of an extended White House conference between the president, Secre tary Root and Acting Secretary of State Adee. It was hoped by the officials that the receipt of detailed news from Chaf fee would simplify the situation consid erably and enable this government to map out in a large degree, its future line of action in China. This was not the case however. General Chaffee's tele gram indicated that there may yet be considerable heavy fighting around Pe kin and between that city and the coast. It was impossible to make any predic tion as to the date of the pacification on the information thus furnished and the administration is not able to fix even an approximate date for the withdrawal of our troops from Chinese territory. While the White House conference was in progress, the Chinese minister arrived at the state department. Mr. Adee was absent, and the minister waited patient ly for two hours, in the expectation that the reply of the United States govern ment to Li Hung Chang's peace appli cation would be handed to him. At 12 o'clock Minister Wu had heard nothing as to the return of the acting secretary of state and he returned to the Chinese legation expecting to call tomorrow un less advised before then that his pres ence was desired. Bloody work has been going on in Pe kin, according to a dispatch received to day by the navy department, from Ad miral Remey dated Taku, the 20th, and Pekin, the 16th. The message shows that the American forces were then fighting along with the allies and that progress had been made which could only have been accomplished after military efforts of a severe character. Officials of the war department, who are famiilar with the physical conditions of the denfenses of Pekin, say that the fact that all but the imperial city had been cleared of Chinese troops is evi dence enough of the severe fighting which must have occurred. In order for the American troops to penetrate to the gates of the palace they must have stormed a wall about 30 feet high, which 110 doubt was stubbornly defended. It is a source of satisfaction to the military officials here that the allied commanders succeeded in clearing the region outside of the imperial city of Chinese troops as thereby the danger of attacks in the flanks and in the rear, while the invaders were storming the imperial city, would be obviated. Admiral Remey's dispatch, in stating that all but the imperial city had been cleared of the Chinese soldiers, left the impression that a force of defenders was still entrenched in that section of Pekin and would have to be routed out. General ChaffeVs brief report stated that he entered the legation grounds at 5 o'clock on ths evening of the 14th, and that some of the men were'wounded in the day's fighting. Admiral Remey's dispatch shows that within the next two days General Chaffee lost six men killed, including Captain Reilley, of the Fifth artillery, and thirty men wounded. To ail appearances therefore the fight ing in Pekin was more severe after the entry into the city than during the movements which brought the Ameri cans to the legation gates. This may be explained by the evident fact that the rescuing parties were en gaged in clearing the outer city of the Chinese soldiery. Such a task could not have been a light one, owing to the presence of large bodies of Chinese troops in the city, and the means at hand of fortifying themselves in the nar row streets of the main city, and behind the wall of the imperial city. Admiral Remey's dispatch also shows that there is further fighting outside of Pekin and that the boxers have not been dispersed, but are still inclined to hang on the outskirts of the invaders and harrass them as much as possible. It would also seem tor presage more fight ing for the allies if they should attempt to return from Pekin and for the rein forcements which will be sent forward to Tien Tsin and Pekin. Evidently, ac cording to the military authorities the country about Tien Tsin and between that city and Pekin still harbors hostile forces which will have to be overcome by the allies before the road can be opened from Pekin to the sea.

She rises every morning at 6 o'clock and retires at 8 o'clock. Her eyesight is fairly good but is failing. At the age of 100 she could thread a needle without any trouble. She sleeps well, has a good ap petite, and seems to enjoy living. Her particular delight is the visit of her great great grandchildren, whom she watches over carefully. She waits on herself and does not require the at tention of any one. It has been sev eral years since she has done any work but she ha3 never lost interest in house hold affairs or her children. Mia Bright has lived in Topeka five years. She moved with her husband from Virginia to Indiana at a, very early day. From there they went to Iowa, and fifteen years ago she came with, her son to Kansas, her husband having died in Iowa. Two of her great grandchild ren are employed in Shick's awning factory. Mrs. Bright distinctly remembers the falling stars in 1833, and talks about that event. However, It is diffiicult for her to talk, as she has a slight bron chial affection. Mrs. Zachariah Bright, the daughter-in-law, is the mother of 17 children, six of whom are dead. In so far as Mrs. Bright can tell, she has about 80 descendants. The children and grandchildren who remained in the east have become scattered, and are seldom heard from, which makes It a diffiicult matter to learn the exact num ber of descendants. OTERMYEK TO DEMOCRATS. Kansas Orator Addresses Missourians at Sedalia. Sedalia, Mo., Aug. 22. The Democrat ic campaign in Missouri was opened here Tuesday in the presence of nearly 40,000 people. A parade through the streets of clubs from different points in the state, was followed by speech making. The principal addresses were made by Adlai E. Stevenson, the vice presidential can didate; A. M. Dockery, Democratic can didate for governor of Missouri, and David Overmyer of Kansas. Mr. Overmyer spoke as follows: lam always pleased to meet the peo ple of the grand state of Missouri It is the fifth state in the union in point of population. It is great in area; it is great in the wealth of its resources, but greater still in the character of its peo ple. (Applause). The state that has given to fame a Benton, a Blair (cheers), a state which has honored itself by keep ing at the forefront of its councils a Cockrill (great cheering), a Vest (cheers and applause) and a Clark (cheers), a De Armond (cheers), a Cochran (cheers), a Cowherd (cheers), and a Dockery(great cheering) with such men representing its interests and guiding its destinies,the state of Missouri can never go wrong. (Cheers). But great as'ls the state of Missouri, great and powerful a3 's the union of the states, yet this great union, this great country, has drifted and drifted in the matter of political policy until it is face to face with a great crisis. In the history of the English speaking race there has been periodical ly recurrent crises in which not only a single question has disturbed the tran quility of the people.but in which a great cluster of questions, a great brood of wrongs have presented themselves for treatment. After over 100 years of con stitutional life we find ourselves face to face with the question whether or not we are capable cf governing ourselves. After 40 years of almost continuous Re-, publican rule we find the house of rep resentatives of the congress of the Uni ted States no longer.in truth and in fact, a deliberative body. There fairness and truth are stifled i:i the name of business. We find the executive of the nation ab sorbing and calling unto himself func- tions of power never contemplated by j 1 1 the charter under Which' this" country is supposed to be governed. "The Republican party," said he, "is enamored of power.lt ia fascinated by the display, the tinsel, the pomp and the glory of arms. It is intoxicated with the vision of imperialism and power. Repub lican millionaires hate the constitution; the Republican party is restless and un easy under the restraints of the consti tution and are fatally and persistently and inevitably bent on doing things that are forbidden by the constitution. The Democracy reveres the constitution, as well it might. The American Democracy took the constitution when it was a mere commission of public power and added the eleven amendments which stand for ever as a barrier to the encroachments of coroporate and federal power. The Democracy took the constitution and breathed into it the spirit of liberty." In proof of his declaration that the Re publican party is hostile to the constitu tion, a senator, he said, had stated that if the constitution had stood in the way of the purposes and interests of this na tion then the constitution must either bend or break. "What did he mean by 'bend? ask ed the orator. "He meant that if it were necessary the constitution would be vio lated, and yet," almost whispered the speaker, "that senator, when he made that statement, was resting under the oath by which he swore to uphold the constitution. What did he mean by 'break?' I'll tell you. He meant that the constitution would be, if necessary, cast aside, and yet," Mr. Overmyer de clared with great dramatic effect, "that senator, when he gave utterance to that infamous statement, was resting under the oath by which he swore to uphold the constitution." $22.50.

TODAY'S MARKET REPORT. Chicago, Aug. 22. WHEAT-Early trad ing in wheat today was marked by firm ness but with only a very moderate amount of activity. Liverpool was to d higher, cash bids were a shade better than yesterday and foreigners continued to buy in a modest way. The northwest had rains in sufficient quantities to inter fere with harvesting. Kansas City re ceipts showed a heavy falling off. Sep tember opened c higher at 72c to 72c and sold to 7314c, easing to 72-S73c on profit taking. Local receipts were 4o2 cars, 15 of contract grade. Minneapolis and Duluth repented 252 cars against 213 last week and 175 a year ago. Late in the session the market advanced sharply and closed strong at the top, Sep tember c higher at 73c. The buying looked as if the market had been over sold. CORN September corn opened ffHc up at 39c to 39c on buying by shorts. There were rains west, however, and ele vator people sold moderately on increased country acceptances, September dropping to 39c. Receipts were 157 cars. The rain in Kansas was heavy, but no heavier than was needed after the long spell of dry, hot weather. The close was easy, September o lower at 3c.

It Is somewhat surprising that the stock market shows no increase in the volume of business. A favorable bank statement foreshadowed by such official figures as have come to hand, as for instance the subtrensury so far this week has lost to- New York City banks nearly four million dollars and this is more-than half the amount of decrease in surplus reserve exhibited in the bank statement of last Saturday. The demand for funds upheld. The cotton crop at the south has not yet been felt to any great extent and.it is probable that the New York city banks have gained money from the interior. An increase in national bank note circulation is going on In connection with the government refunding plan. Money in Europe, although a decline in rate at Paris, has followed the increased strength of reserve at London and Berlin. The lat ter fact is to be explained by the well known conservatism of the bank of France which aims to maintain a stable money rate as far as possible. New York Money Market New York. Aug. 22.

President Hub fcard of the Cotton Exchange, haa ap pointed a new committee to carry on the work of devising a plan whereby cotton contracts for future delivery can be cleared at once without waiting for the time of delivery to arrive: in other words, to prepare and present to the board of managers and members of the exchange a modern clearing house sys tem for such contracts. The committee Jt was learned, consists of Daniel Odell. chairman; Charles W. Ide, Paul S. Gal atti. John A. Martcorn, Jr.. and Edward S. Scott. The proposition to inagurate a new system of clearances has been talked over for some time by members and of ficials of the exchange, and early last fall the matter assumed definite shape when Thomas 11. Robinson, who was then president, was authorized by the managers at the request of several prominent members, to name a commit tee of five to "investigate and report to the exchange for subsequent considera tion and action the practicability and advisability of the adoption of such a system, and. if in their judgment found advisable, to prepare a plan which to them shall seem most desirable to that end. "Although that committee devoted much time and thought to the work, no satisfactory conclusion was reached, up to the time of the annual election of oP cers of the exchange. The new board of managers however, were In favor of continuing the investigation and Presi dent Hubbard was accordingly authoriz ed to appoint a new committee, the mem bers of which are now announced. The appointment of this committee re vives interest in a proposition that is of much importance to members of the cot ton exchange, although there is still a wide difference of opinion among them as to the successful outcome of the un dertaking. There is a very larne ele ment in the exchange that strongly sup ports the proposition itself and believes it possible to devise a satisfactory work ing plan for the immediate clearance of future contracts. There are not a few members, on the other hand, who are unqualifiedly opposed to the principle it self and will piobably not support the movement, although much depends, of course, upon what plan the committee may ultimately decide upon. In speaking of the matter. Chairman Odell said that, in his opinion, there was no reason why a clearing house system could not be, devised for the New Yoik. Cotton exchange, for the immediate clearing of contracts for future delivery. He thought that such a system would undoubtedly broaden the market and in crease trade and possibly membership. A DELICATE QUESTION. Is a Refrigerating Plant a Part of a Ship's Equipment New Tork. Aug. 22. Judge Somer vllle. in an opinion handed down for the board of classification of the United States genaral appraisers, says that it is more than doubtful whether a refrig erating plant could be considered a part of a ship's equipment, especially as it was not a part of the property of the owners of the vessel, nor was it leased by the owners. The Swift Beef company, limited, en tered into a contract with the Atlantic transport line for the right to occupy certain space on the steamer Marquette. While the vessel was at London the Swift company started to install a re frigerating plant, but the vessel had to sail before the work was" completed. The rest of the materials for the plant was sent over on the Campania, arriving at this port before the Marquette. The collector assessed the regular duties on the materials imported on the Cam pania, and the importing company filed a protest, claiming that the merchan dise should come in free as part of the vessel's equipment. The protest was overruled. BIG APPRAISEMENT. U. S. Officials Raise Musk Importa tion From 380 to 19,000 Francs. New York, Aug. 22 An important re appraisement case has been settled by the United States general appraisers on an importation by Mrs. George Lueders Co. of artificial musk, heavy ad vances being sustained. The goods were imported from E. R. Borlin, of Basle. Switzerland, and entered as ar tificial musk at 3S0 francs per kilo. Customs officials at this port advanced the goods to 19.000 francs per kilo, which, advance was sustained by General Ap praiser Jewell. Comstock Brown, at torneys for the importers, appealed the case for reappraisement to the full board of general appraisers. Mr. Brown, attorney for the import ers, speaking of the matter, said: "The case in question arose through a test importation made by George Lueders Co. for the purpose of having a value fixed on the Swiss artitlcial musk, and they were confident that the ultimate decision would be in their fa vor. They can not understand why the government should pay so much atten tion to the representations of a foreign house, as against the clear indications of the ordinary market value of arti ficial musk in Switzerland. In my opinion, the price of 19.000 francs per kilo for Swiss artificial musk was, as it has been characterized by a promient customs official, a 'fantastic value,' but that whatever the facts may be as to the value in France there can be no question that the market value in Switzerland is a very small fraction of U usually so full of Buffermsr and danger that she looks forward to the critical hour with appre hension and dread.

Arbuckle Company Makes a Strike at Sugar Refining Company. New York. Aug. 22. Considerable surprise was shown in lower Wall street as a result of the announcement of the Arbuckles that they would pay their customers a cent per pound additional rebate on all roasted package coffee purchased from them that shall be ten per cent or more in excess in pounds of the amount purchased in the year ended July 1, 1900. This is believed to indicate that the trouble over coffee is likely to be renewed at any time. The American Sugar Refining company re cently began allowing an extra 1 per cent discount to their customers who have increased their purchases. This is said to be done to offset the extra one per cent allowed by the Arbuckles to wholesalers on sugar and in retaliation the Arbuckles have made the announce ment regarding purchases of coffee. Arbuckle Brothers and the Woolson Spice company have both reduced their quotations on package coffee half cent per pound. DEMOCRATIC CONTENTION. Call Issued for the Various County Assemblies.

Secured on the Fortune's Excursion TJp the Hudson. 1 New York, Aug. 22. The navy depart ment's new method of obtaining men for the naval service, originated by Captain Henry C. Taylor, seems to be very effi cacious. The navy yard tug Fortune returned yesterday morning from Albany, where for two weeks she has been recruiting landsmen for the navy. Many recruits were reported aboard the Fortune. The men have been placed on the receiving ship Vermont. On Thursday morning the Fortune will proceed to New Haven, New London and Norwalk, where adver tisements have been inserted In the newspapers announcing that recruits are desired. In this manner able-bodied farmers andother landsmen are recruited for the navy who would not be secured other wise. It is thought that a number of able-bodied seamen may be enlisted near New Haven. Lieutenant W. S. Montgomery is in charge of the fortune. Daughters of St George Convene. Chicago, Aug. 22.

The Herald prints the following: International complications may fol low the negro riots. Alfred Akins, a Brit ish subject who was one of the victims of the mob and later of police outrages, has appealed to the British consul for re dress. Akins Is a parlor carpeter and while he was on his way home from the Grand Central station, ignorant of the race war then going on, he was beaten and almost killed by whites. He was rescued by po licemen, but barely escaped ever rougher treatment at the hands of the police. Akins is about 30 years old and a na tive of Kingston, Jamaica. He is em ployed by the New York, New Haven Hartford road He described his experi ence yeBterday. "I arrived at the Grand Central station about 8 o'clock Wednesday evening.Aug nst 15, from the V hite mountains," he said. "I had not heard of the riots then going on and I started for my home. I got to Forty-first street, when a mob of white men seized me, crying out "there's another of the black devils.'They knock ed me down. I got up and ran north to Forty-third street, the mob following me all the way. They caught me and drag ged me back to Forty-first street. Some body told a policeman that I was inno cent and. he took me away from them and into a drug store. He called an am bulance and my wounds were dressed. My face was cut In half a dozen places and my right eye was swollen shut. They started to take me to the police station, but on the way the ambulance was stop ped for half an hour near Ninth avenue. A mob surrounded it and men spat on me, the policemen offering no objection. "I was kept at the police station until 2 o'clock in the morning, when they Bald there was no charge against me and told me to go with half a dozen other negroes. There was a mob still outside the station and I begged to be allowed to remain. They let me stay un til 4 o'clock, when Captain Cooney came and ordered me and several others out. I wai the last to leave the station and he said to me: 'I hope the police will catch you before you get home and beat you to death.' It was raining then and the mob had scattered. I was not mo lested on the way home." Akins has been under treatment since then at the New York hospital. He called on the British consul, who said he would investigate his case. C. Clive-Bayley, who is British acting consul general during the absence in Europe of Percy Sanderson, said that Akins had called on him, said he was a British subject and had been clubbed without cause during the riots. He was told to have his complaint put in legal form. Mr. CliveBayley told Akins to come back after he had done this and he would consider his case. SUE1 FOR DAMAGES.

COFFEE AND HEART DISEASE Slowly and Surely Affects the Heart's Action. "My heart seemed to be jumping out of my body one morning after I had used some coffee, clear, without cream or su gar, for I had .been told that coffee would not hurt me if used that way. We were all greatly frightened at the serious condition of my heart until I remember ed that it might be from the coffee. 'So when the trouble passed oft, I con cluded never to use coffee again. It had hurt me greatly, used in the ordinary way with cream and sugar, bat I had hoped that it would be less harmful without the cream and sugar, but the re sult was no better. 'Since that time we have been using Postum Cereal Food Coffee and my heart has never troubled me at all. We are all delighted with the Postum be cause we know how to make It and know how valuable It is as a health beverage. "In speaking to a friend lately about Postum Cereal, she said she did not like it. I found the reason was that it had not been made properly. After I told her to take four heaping teaspoons of Postum to the pint of water and let it boil full fifteen minutes after the real boiling startedi she was greatly delight ed with it and has been using it since and has been very much better in health.

Shenk for the sum of $14,500. Mr. Shenk is a farmer living near Silver Lake. The deal was a cash one, the money being all paid at one time. This is the larg est real estate deal that has been made in this county for a considerable time. The Edwards ranch is a pretty piece of land containing 960 acres, 300 of which is rich bottom land. Four hun dred acres more are under cultivation. The place was bought by Mr. Edwards about twenty years ago, who spent a considerable sum in improving tne place.- Of this perhaps the largest amount was expended in building the 16-room house. Besides this there is a large barn, 60x60 feet, and an ice house. About this placa hangs a story. A great many years ago some cattle be longing to a farmer near the Edwards place became loose and wandered to the Edwards place. Here they were taken up, and when the owner wanted them without paying for damages there was trouble. Bound to secure his stock he brought all his hired help over to take forcible possession of the cattle, and in the melee which followed one man was killed. CROMER PREDICTS.
