1, J WAR RESUMED. Fighting Becomes General In Island of Luzon. Twelve Americans Killed in One Battle. TWENTY-SIX WOUNDED Fifteen Killed in Engagements at Other Points. Filipinos Are the Aggressors in Most Cases. Cut Wires and Railroad and Burn Towns. Manila, Sept. 20. During the last seven days there has been a distinct in crease of insurgent aggression, particu larly near Manila, along the railroad and in the provinces of Laguna.Morong, Bulucan, .Nueva Ecipa and Pampanga, culminating Monday in an engagement near Sinolan, at the east end of Laguna de Bay, in which detachments of the Fifteenth and Thirty-seventh United States infantry regiments, 90 men all told, met a thousand insurgents, armed with rifles and entrenched. The American loss was 12 killed, in cluding: Captain David D. Mitchell and Second Lieutenant George A. Cooper, both of the Fifteenth. 26 wounded and 5 missing, who are probably dead. The enemy had been pursued for sev eral days. There are rumors of attacks on the railroad and of trouble in Manila. Refu gees are arriving here from Laguna, Morong and Pampanga provinces. The natives of Manila are restless.and many are leaving the city. The hostile demon strations are particularly marked along the railroad and on the shores of the Laguna de Bay. The insrgents have attacked garrisons and outposts. In some cases they have charged towns, fleeing wnen pursued. Guiginto, Polo, Malolos and Caloocan have been sub jected to this treatment. The ManUa mail escort of 30 men was attacked at Cabujago Lake, a two hours' fight ensuing. Cabugao was also attacked, the telegraph office there be ing destroyed. The insurgents have burned the village of Rosario.They have been cutting the telegraph wires and railroad at certain points. Armed insurgents have developed in the districts of San Jose, San Mateo and" Mariquina. In the-pivkice of Nueva Ecija ration wagons, with an escort of 12, were attacked and the wagons burned. Five members of the escort are still missing. Advices from Cebu describe several attacks upon American garri sons near the capital. The American casualties, outside the Cinolan engagement, it is difficult to ascertain, but they are at" least 15. The Philippine commission held a long session today and passed the civil ser vice bill. MAC ARTHUR'S OFFICIAL REPORT. Washington, Sept. 20. A dispatch has been received fromGen.MacArthur which confirms the report cabled to the Asso ciated Press from Manila, regarding the activity of the insurgents.

The Pop ulist state executive committee having failed to make a fusion arrangement with the Republican party of Texas, has revised its entire ticket and will make a thorough state canvass. Jerome Kearby, the Populist conven tion nominee for governor, who is ill and unable to make a canvass was pull ed down and in his place Judge T. J. McMinn, a well known lawyer of San Antonio, was substituted. Two vacancies on the ticket were also filled as follows: For associate justice' of the court of criminal appeals, George J. Todd of Jef ferson; for associate justice of the su preme court, George D. Green of Cle burne. KNOWN DEAD. Victims of Galveston Storm Number 4,754. Galveston, Tex., Sept. 20. Every man who is willing to work has been pressed into service here. The wreckage Is fast being cleared away and. an air of busi ness once more pervades the city. The Houston Post today prints a re vised list of those who perished In the great storm. This list haa been careful ly compiled from various sources and places the number of known dead at 4,754. The railroads have large forces of men at work and outside communica tion is now a matter of only a very short while. The losses to the life Insurance com panies are estimated at $500,000. Most of those who carried old line life policies escaped. The fraternal orders will lose quite heavily. The wheat in elevator "A" is being turned over and put in shape to deliver to vessels. There were about 10,000 cars of wheat on track here and most of these show a peculiar condition of in spection. It appears that in nearly all of them there is a foot of wheat on the bottom to which the water rose. It was salt water, and the wheat caked so hard that the "tryer" used by the in spector will not penetrate it. The grain above this water line appears not to have been damaged. The good grain is being transferred by hand to other cars. Hanna Leonard's new elevator haa begun business. The British steamer Endeavour went under the spouts and is taking on a full cargo of wheat. SAN FRANCISCO'S CONTRIBUTION. San Francisco, Sept. 20. The cash contributions to the Galveston relief fund in this city now amounts to $24, 342. A NEGRO SHOT. Galveston, Tex., Sept. 20. Last night a negro while attempting to break into a warehouse containing commissary stores was shot and killed by guards. No attempt was made at identification and the body has been burned. Captain Page of the Dallas rough riders has made a careful survey of the town and estimates that there are one thousand bodies yet to be taken out of the ruins which surround the city. FEVER BREAKS OUT. Dread of Southern Texas is at Last Realized. Houston, Tex, Sept. 20. Official re ports of conditions at interior towns have begun to come in from the agents sent out by S. Taliaferro, Governor Say ers' agent for the relief of the section visited by the storm outside of Galves ton and Harris county. Following are summaries of reports so far received showing the- conditions at half a dozen towns on the Santa Fe. There are pro bably 50 small towns which are in just as bad shape and from which reports have not yet been received, but which are being supplied with provisions, clothing and drugs from Houston, by the committees: Pearland Fifty families depending on relief committee; some supplies received but assistance in other ways than pro visions is needed. Families at Erin and Superior are to be supplied through Pearland. Algoa Twenty-five families to be supplied ;enough provisions for the pres ent. Alvin In Alvin and vicinity there are probably six houses on blocks out of a total of 1,000. The population of Alvin now to be fed is about 1,500; Manvel 250; Liverpool and Amsterdam 250; Chocolate and Austin Bayous, Chigger Neighborhood, Dickinson Bayou, East and outside, or the surrounding country about 2,500, making a total of 5.000 peo ple under the supervision of the Alvin committee. The committees admit having a sufficient amount of clothing. They have received a cash subscription cf about $2,000, and have spent $400. Have received two cau of flour from Dallas, one car of meal from Dallas, one car of mixed goods from Tyler. Along the bay shore from Virginia Point to Liverpool, for a space of six or eight miles from the bay front, there are many thousands of dead cattle that should be immediately cremated or pro perly looked after. Arcadia In the town there are 3C0 destitute people and those in the imme diate vicinity will make the aggregate 500. Provisions already supplied suffi cient for immediate needs only. Hitchcock In this town and immedi ate vicinity are more than 500 people destitute. Of about 300 houses, only about ten are standing. A wave of salt water from four to ten feet in depth covered ttiis section; 38 lives were lost; for the time being it is feared the soil has been seriously damaged by the ef fect of salt water. Supplies and provis ions were sent them yesterday. There are probably IO.ootj cead cattle within a space of a few miles south and surrounding the town, and every house should be supplied for at least ten days with disinfectants. Fever is now set ting in there and Dr. T. J. Scott of Houston went there yesterday. An idea of the velocity of the wind and wave of salt water that swept over this immediate section may be gained when it is known that the Texas City dredge boat is now lying high and dry in a garden at this place, a distance of eight miles or more from its moorings. Alta Lorn a This committee reports about 75 families, or 300 people, to be cared for. Have received 530 rations. People have no money and their proper ty destroyed. Forty houses were destroyed. There are about four houses now on blocks. Two lives were lost. The population is mainly of northern people. A shipment was made them of provisions and medi cines, but other things are needed.

The country is' tremendously stirred up by the discussion of Russia's proposition to withdraw from Pekin. While there is no fear of Russia, there is the deepest distrust, of her diplomacy, and a conviction that an alliance exists between the Muscovite power and the empress dowager s government. The po litical situation here now hangs upon the outcome of this Russian question, An account has just reached us of the straits to which the Pekin garrison was reduced from the lack of ammunition during the last days of the siege. Every scrap of metal, no matter how valuable. was utilized and it is said that the enemy was greatly encouraged when silver bullets were rained upon them, this be ing an intimation of the failure of the garrison s supply of ammunition. CHAFFEE PREFERS TENTS. Copyright, 1900, by Associated Press. Pekin, Sept 14, via Shanghai. General Chaffee expresses a preference in favor of tents for the winter campaign rather than unsanitary buildings. The indica tions are that 10.000 of the allies will winter at Pekin. The German force will be the largest. Some of the troops will probably be distributed in the surround ing cities to relieve the strain. The Jap anese will withdraw the most of their force to Nagasaki. The Russians will retain at least two thousand here. A joint expedition to Paoting has been planned by the British, German and French forces. The dowager empress has expressed her willingness to return to Pekin if guaranteed protection. The generals in command and the ministers of the powers are unwilling to assume such a responsibility. A number of small bands of boxers ha va. been reported in the neighborhood recently. VON WALDERSEE SAILS FOR SHANGHAI. New York, Sept. 20. A dispatch from the Herald from Hong Kong says: Count von Waldersee has left here on the German cruiser Hortza for Shanghai. The British consul in Canton has re ceived a telegram from officials at Kuel Yang saying the missionaries of that dis trict have. left by way of Szeh Chuan and that Taoti has sent soldiers to safely escort them to Chung King. WANT PEACE RIGHT AWAY. Washington, Sept. 20. The Chinese minister has received a dispatch from the viceroys of the southern provinces of China making an appeal for the op ening of peace negotiations without fur ther delay. They represent that a pro longation of the unsettled condition is a serious disadvantgae to China and all parties concerned. Admiral Crowninshield, chief of the navigation bureau, and citing secretary of the navy, has received the following cablegram from Admiral Remey :'Taku, Sept. 19. I have called upon LI Hung Chang officially. Arrived September IS in a merchant vessel. He will proceed at once to Pekin. He desires that I ten der his sincere thanks for the consider ation he has received from the United States government. REMEY." CHAFFEE TO DIVIDE HIS FORCESt Washington, Sept. 20. The war de partment has received the following ca blegram from Gen. Chaffee: "Taku, (no date) Adjutant General, Washington Pekin, Sept. 16. To avoid further crowding Pekin have had in mind a division of my force between Pekin, Yaung Tung, Tien Tsin at the latter place, leaving one battalion only because ground Tien Tsin, low damp, unsuitable. Other commanders no in structions but they assume at least some of their troops remain Pekin during winter. I state this as indicat ing what is to be ascertained here, not knowing of course, the action being ta ken by the powers and the United States. Only one regiment Russian troops retired toward Tien Tsin yet moved. Condition of Chinese some bet ter; gardeners entering the city freely, relieving the distress prevailing some days ago.

Head quarters one squadron Sixth cavalry Yang Tsun to camp. Telegraphed you 30th railroad to be repaired. Li Hung Chang left Shanghai 14th. Remey re ports Rockhill expected Taku, 14th. "CHAFFEE." A portion of this dispatch is unintelli gible to the department official and they have asked the telegraph company for a correction on it. RUSSIA STARTED IT. Washington, Sept. 20. It now appears that Russia first put forward the propo sition for the punishment of the leaders of the Chinese uprising. This was in a paper offering a general programme for conducting the peace negotiations. The first item of the programme was j the punis-bment of the Chinese of- 1 fenders. The proposal came previous to me oerman note ana seems to have been concurred in by France and some i of the other powers, although it did not receive such general concurrence as to amount to an agreement The Ger man note now takes up the item of the Russian proposal and makes it an in dispensable prerequisite to any negoti ations. If materially differs from the Russian expression in that the latter made punishment a part of the negoti ations while the German proposition ia to make the punishment precedent to the negotiations. The reported transfer ot Sir Claude MacDonald, the British minister at Pekin from that post to rokio is regarded as significant in some quarters. Those familiar with the two posts Bay Toklo has less rank than Pe kin and that the pay is less. The transfer is thought to be due to the strain the British minister was un der during the siege, but it also has the effect of removing one of the most prominent figures in the current nego tiations and the one who is understood to have been foremost in urging severe measures against China. OUR REPLY TO GERMANY. Washington, Sept 20. As the state department has determined to adhere to the diplomatic proprieties in publishing whatever response it may make to the last German proposition relative to the punishment of the Chinese responsible for the Pekin outrages, it is expected the text of the United States note and even the substance will be withheld from publication here for at least two days after its delivery. It ia thought the answer will take the form of a circular addressed not to Ger many alone, but to each of the powers interested in the Chinese situation. It is believed that instead of being ran un conditional acceptance or rejeo,fon of the German proposition, it will be rath er controversial, and be framed .with a purpose to develop the sentiments of the other powers respecting the German proposition and to secure support for our own view of that matter. Count von Waldersee is steadily mak ing his way toward Pekin but as he still needs a week's time to complete his journey it is not likely that the German government will interpose ser ious protest against any action on the part of the United States, which will have the effect to postpone the begin ning of a settlement until the field mar shal arrives. It is impossible to tell now whether the action which is to be taken by our government will have such a di latory effect. The Chinese minister was again at the state department at an early hour this morning, strenuously urging the officials to begin negotiations at once, and directly with the Chinese govern ment if need be. He had been informed by his own government that the techni cal difficulties in the way of the nego tiations was Minister Conger's lack of authority. Our minister has told the Chinese of this in this case, probably Prince Ching, that his credentials as minister were not sufficient to warrant him in acting as an envoy to arrange a settlement with the Chinese govern ment. Air. Rockhill also is powerless to meet the demand for an immediate represen tative. Now the Chinene officials are asking with great urgency mat special credentials be cabled to Mr. Conger, or that some other properly empowered person be immediately designated in or der that negotiations may begin at once. Mr. Wu had another matter to present to the department and. that was an appeal from the viceroys of Wu Chang and Nankin provinces that no more international troops be landed in their territory. They feared the exciting effect upon the Chinese of the presence of troops, and were willing to guaran tee the peace of the provinces, and the protection of foreigners if these troops are excluded. The representatives of the powers here continue to show great activity in their search for information. In addition to the Chinese minister, the diplomatic callers at the state department today were Mr. Takahira, the Japanese minis ter; M. Thiebaut, the French charge d'affaires and Baron Speck von Stern berg, the German charge. They were all in search of information and par ticularly solicitous to know what pros pect there was of securing early respon ses from the United States government to the various notes which have been submitted by them. The response to the German note is not now expected by Baron von Sternberg for a day or two. He feels no surprise at the support given by France to the Russian proposi tion and therefore is no disappointed at the French refusal to accept the latest German proposition. There were interesting dispatches to day from Admiral Remey and General Chaffee. Admiral Remey's official rec ognition of Li Hung Chang does not commit our government in any wav, the recognition having been extended with out doubt to Li Hung Chang in his ca pacity of viceroy of Chih Li. Gen. Chaffae's statement relative to ""m ui n lorces maicates that he is still carrying forward his prepar ations for wintering his troops to the best advantage. It does not signify that tie expects to remain in China during the winter, but simply means that he is preparing for eventualities. WHY RUSSIAN PROPOSAL IS RE JECTED. London, Sept. 20. It was explained to day at the foreign office that it was found inexpedient for the powers to ac cept the Russian withdrawal proposal, as the government has received infor mation that the "boxers were ready to reoeeupy Pekin as soon as the allies re tired." NO REPLY TO BERLIN Berlin, Sept. 20. The United States embassy up to the time of filing this dispatch, had not received any cable messages from Washington regarding the recent German note on the subject of China. CALLED BACK TO WASHINGTON jroi Lsinoutn, in. l., Sept. 20. Secre tary J. D. Long and L. J. Gage left here at an early hour today for Wash ington. It is stated that thev rwwwH summons from the president to return owing to the urgency of the Chinese negotiations. BOERS BROKEN UP. "ui" ooj5 nuiiiiug nemains But a Few Marauding Bands. London, Sept 20. Lord Roberts cables from Nelspruit on the Pretoria Delagoa Bay railroad, not far from Komatipoort, iiie ironiier station, unaer date of Wed nesday, September 19, as follows: "Of the three thousand Boers who re treated from Komatipoort, before the British advance from Manhadnrtnm 7nn have entered Portuguese territory.others have deserted in various directions and tne Balance are reported to have crossed the Komato river and to be occupying spurs of the Lombobo mountains smith of the railway. A general tumult seems to nave occurred when they recognized the hopelessness of their cause. Their Jong toms and field guns have been des troyed and rothing i? left of the Poor army but a few marauding bands. Kelly Ken ry is dealing with one of these which occupies aposition at Doornberg." ONLY GOOD NEWS Favorable Reports Pour Into the Strikers' Headquarters. First Break Takesf Place at the Lattimer Mines. IS SHUT DOWN TIGHT. Coleraine Mines Close After a Four Days' Effort. Work of Swearing in Policemen Goes Forward. BOYCOTT THE READING Labor Unions Take u Hand in the Mining Strike. Hazelton, Pa., Sept. 20. Reports re ceived at strike headquarters and else where .from various parts of the region this morning brought nothing but good news to the idle anthracite coal miners. The first news brought here told of a break among the employes in the Latti mer mlnes.the first that has taken place there during the strike. The colliery was considered an invulnerable spot and the break there put the strikers in a good humor. The number of men who quit was quite small, however, but the union men are satisfied that they will make further inroads on the force there. The next good news received by the strikers came from Coleraine and was to the effect that the colliery there was shut down tight. The McAdoo strikers have been trying for four days to close this place. The Evans colliery also failed to start work this morning owing to the men not putting in an appear ance to operate the workings. Both the Coleraine and the Evans collieries are operated by the A. S. Van Wyckle com pany. All of this company's mines in the Hazelton region are now closed. A committee of three miners employ ed at the Coleraine mines this morning called upon Superintendent Ayers and presented a set of grievances for the company's consideration.The grievances are as follows: "We do hereby ask; for two weeks pay and 10 per cent increase on the dollar: 15 per cent oft the dollar on a keg of powder and that all men get paid for overtime work." Superintendent Ayers received the men pleasantly and told them they would receive an answer in three days. A few men went to work in the Mar kle mines at Jeddo and Oakdale today. The strikers claim the reason for this was that a report had gotten into cir culation that the men who lived in the company houses and dealt in company stores would not receive the pay that was due them if they did not go to work. This however, was denied by both the nonunion men and the" company. There was considerable excitement about 6 o'clock in the vicinity of No. 40 shaft of the Lehigh Valley company east of this city. The coal and iron po licemen had gone to the houses in that locality and induced a number of break er boys to go to work, it was charged. Strikers at the same time attempted to persuade the boys to stay out, but re tired when- they insisted on working. On the way to the shaft a half dozen for eign speaking women surrounded the policemen and taking the dinner pails from the now frightened boys threaten ed to strike the policemen. A mob of 300 persons soon gathered and for a. time it looked as if the policemen would get the worst of it, but they managed to escape the crowd without precipitating a fight. A few of the boys went to the mini's with the policemen but most of them returned to their homes. The march to Coleraine which was ar ranged for last night by the McAdoo men did not take place this morning as they learned it would be unnecessary, a tip having been received that Coleraine would not start today. The march of the strikers from Freeland to Sandy Run and Pond Creek was also abandon ed. The union men after a conference decided to organize the men at those places and the nask them to quit. The mines at Eckley and Sandy Run are in full operation today as usual and the Markle mine at Highland is operat ing with about the same force as yes terday. SWEARING IN POLICEMEN. Pottsville, Pa., Sept. 20. A mass meet ing of mine workers numbering over 2, 000 at Mahanoy City, was addressed by laborer leaders last night in the opera house. No action was taken pertaining to the strike. All the collieries are at work this morning. Morea is still shut down. At Shenandoah all the collieries are operating, with about 200 hands short-among the ten collieries. The re cruiting and swearing in of coal and iron policemen continues. Sheriff Toole has been wired from Carson washery, near McAdoo, for a posse of deputies, but he has taken no action. WESTERN SHIPMENTS CUT DOWN. Reading, Pa., Sept. 20. One feature of the coal situation is that shipments to the west have been cut down considera bly and that they will become smaller in that direction as the product from the mines becomes less. The demands of the local trade along the Atlantic sea board are so enormous that every car load is needed in the Reading company's own territory. Western cities have sent in enormous orders, and it is now recog nized that they will be the first to suf fer if a coal famine should set in. It is believed that there will be a falling off in shipments at the end of the week. HUNDREDS OF DEPUTIES. Scranton, Pa., Sept. 20. Two im portant conferences were held today. One of these was the outcome of daily meetings which some of the mining superintendents have been holding and brought together the heads of three big companies, the Lackawanna, Delaware and Hudson and Pennsylvania company and many of the Individual operators here for the final considerations of plans to force the working of some of the mines at least. It is announced that the superintendents have been very active along certain lines and are now ready almost any day to attempt to show strength against the strikers. They in tend to concentrate at certain mines and operate them under the protection of the law if necessary. For this latter emer gency they have had some hundreds of men made deputy sheriffs and watch men. Their confidential runners have can vas2d mary miners ard laborers at their tomes and the opinion is that an entering wedge Is almost ready to be driven in the stronghold of the strike, district No. 1, where there is today no change from the conditions of yester day. The other meeting of the day was of the district executive board at tne strut- ers' headquarters this afternoon. There will come before the board the trouble over the washery question. The Cxford, Belie vue and Diamond washer.es went to work this morning as well as three smaller ones. The Lackawanna com pany has been successful in working many of its foremen at the three places named, the regular working force being practically on strike. Two of the minor washeries. the Columbus and the ah thony have made overtures for settle ment while the Gibbons drift is also said to be ready to settle. MINER SCARED TO DEATH. One of the culm banks, the Bellevue, was the scene of a tragic death today. Frank Mangan was there gathering coal along with a crowd of qthers. Suddenly some one shouted "The watchmen are coming," and there was a hurry to get away. The man was reeble rrom sicic ness and in the excitement of the mo ment he fell and died on the edge of the dump. Heart failure was the cause. Organizer Dilcher and other workers from this region will go to the Hazelton section on Sunday in an endeavor to complete the tie-up there, and in the Schuylkill district. HUNGARIANS BEAT A MINE BOSS. Philadelphia. Sept. 20. According to advices from Hazelton the strikers are gaining some ground in that region al though the operators dispute this and insist that more men are at work today than worked yesterday. Important information comes from the Lackawanna region to the effect that the superintendents of some of the large mines are contemplating making an ef fort to start one or more mines under police protection, if necessary, and thus break the tie-up which is complete in that district. A few more men are reported Idle in the Shamokin district and the story sent here last night that the strikers at the Morea colliery of the Reading company, in the Schuylkill district, had voted to return to, work, was proven to be un true. Hungarians attacked a mine boss on his way to work near Shamokin this morning and beat him nearly to death, with clubs. Other cases of violence of this sort, though not so serious, aie reoprted. The strikers at last succeeded In In ducing some of the workers in the only mine operating in the upper region.that of the West End company, at Mocana qua, to quit work and that colliery is crippled. GOT E0 OUT. Wilkesbarre, Pa., Sept 20. The strik ers succeeded today in inducing about 50 men employed at the West End Coal company's colliery in Mocanaqua, the only mine at work in the upper region, to quit work. This is the first break in the working force of the mine since the strike began. The united miners say more of the employes will quit work tomorrow. The situation in the other portions of the district is unchanged, all the mines being closed. 100 MEN JOIN THE STRIKERS. Shamokin, Pa., Sept. 20. One hundred more men at Locust Gap colliery, oper ated by the Philadelphia Reading company, joined the ranks of the strik ers today. The company claims that enough men are working and will con tinue to work to enable the operations to continue. The North Franklin at Trevorton, owned by the same company, continues working full handed, and it is thought the miners will not be able to induce any of the men- to strike. Most of the men at Trevorton own their own homes there and are said to fear the company will abandon the operations if they strike. The company is the only industry in the place. While Hugh Da vis, a fire boss at Pennsylvania colliery was on his way to work today Hungar ian strikers assaulted him with clubs. He was seriously injured. An additional number of detectives went to the col liery shortly after the assault to afford better protection for men desiring to work. ONLY FIVE COLLIERIES IDLE. Philadelrjhia. Sept. 20. The Philidel- phia Reading Coal and Iron company received dispatches from the Schuylkill region today to the effect that the situ tion at their mines is unchanged today. Thirty-four collieries are working and five are idle. READING ROAD BOYCOTTED. Reading, Pa., Sept. 20. The aid of the labor unions of the Schuylkill Valley is now being solicited to fight the Reading railroad in the effort to close the mines in that territory. In this city some of the unions which have a membership of 4,500 have passed resolutions of boy cott, and now the Pottsville and Harris burg unions are sending word here of similar action on their part During last night there was a slight falling off in the coal shipments through this city, but the officials believe that they can keep up the normal quantity now that the mines working have gone on full time instead of three-quarter time. The main line of the Reading is practically the only outlet for the coal mined and the officers are determined to keep the mines now in operation go- BRIGHTER FOR MINERS. Hazelton, Sept. 20.

Fusion Squabble in Sixth Too Much. BETWEEN TWO FIRES. On One Hand Demands Made by Scott's Friends. Elsewhere Dykes' Supporters Claim His Attention. Could Not Satisfy All, So With draws From Race. Ex-Congressman N. B. McCormick of Phillipsburg today filed his formal with drawal as the fusion candidate for stata senator In the district composed of Nor ton, Phillips and Smith counties. Though the notice of withdrawal waa unaccompanied by an explanation the congressional muddle in the Sixth dis trict is responsible for Mr. McCormick's action and it indicates how bitter the feeling over the Dykes-Scott candidacy has become. Mr. McCormick started to make a campaign under what he considered very favorable circumstances, as he was nominated by both Democrats and Pop ulists, but he soon found himself be tween two fires so fierce that he fearetf he would be consumed. Tully Scott is the straight Democratic candidate for congress in the Sixth dis trict and Dr. J. B. Dykes is the Populist candidate. All overtures for the settle ment of the controversy have failed and both men are making a campaign. While Mr. McCormick is not a candi date for congress he found that It was impossible to keep out of the contro versy. He went to Norton county to make speeches and was told that he must declare for Scott or lose many votes. Then he went to Smith county where he was informed that unless he spoke for Dykes he was lost It was im possible to remain neutral. Mr. McCormick halted awhile anrl then he felt that the strain was too much and he decided to resign the nom ination. This is the district which elect ed him to congress and he does not enjoy the situation of seeing the fusionists at sword's points. i The Populist committee has made nr arrangement to find a man to put on the ticket in Mr. McCormick's place. Un less some one is found within six days the place on the fusion ticket for senat.-r In the Fortieth district will be blank. THREE SACKS OF GOLD Taken by Robbers From a JTe rada Bank. Winnemuea, Nev., Sept. 20. The Fir.t National bank was robbed at noon today by three desperadoes who entered the front door of the building and with re volvers made all put up their hands. There were five people in the bank at the time. Cashier Nixon, Assistant Cashier McBride, Bookkeeper Hill. Stenographer Calhoun and a horse buyer named Johnson. The robbers threatened with instant death the first man who made a show of resistance. One robber, at the point of a pistol, made Cashier Nixon open the safe and take from it three sacks of gold coin. They threw this in an ore sack together with all the gold coin in the office drawer. The rob bers then marched the five men out through a back door to an alley, where they had three horses waiting. The men were kept covered with guns until the desperadoes mounted their horses an l escaped. The whole affair occupied but five minutes. An alarm was quickly given and several shots were fired at the desperadoes as they sped through the town, but without effect. The robbers returned the shots but no one was hit. Officers and armed citizens have starte'l in pursuit of the robbers who took a course up the river. A posse has ais started from Golconda to head them off and it is thought they can not escape. The amount secured by the robbers Is not known to a certainty but is in the neighborhood of $15,000. FLOUR GOES UP Big Adrance in All Grades in Chicago Market. Chicago, Sept. 20. The Tribune eays: Prices of flour are climbing higher witt an advancing wheat market, and the Chicago householder is confronted with the possibility of being compelled to pay more for his bread as well as for his coal this winter. The local agents of the standard Minneapolis brands of spring wheat flour have notified the wholesale trade of an advance of 'jt cents a barrel, to go into effect thix morning. The price will be $4.70 a barrel, which is 40 cents more than was askni a month ago. Wholesale grocers will make a corresponding advance to the retail trade at once. Standard winter patents have ad vanced 25 cents to $4.35 in the last three to four days Southern patents have been advanced 30 to 40 cents by the wholesalers. Local millers have marked up prices also. A local miller when interviewed, said: "We shall have to add 10 cents a bar rel to our prices tomorrow, quoting our standard brands at $4.60. an advance of 30 cents in less than two weeks. Wheat has gone up nearly 7 cents in that time, and as 5 cents a barrel on flour is about equal to a cent a bushel for wheat, still higher prices will be justified if the boom in wheat continues."

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 20, 1S0O. 2 When life's autumn comes, women, worn cut by the burdens and obligations of motherhood, yet shrink from that second "change of life" which will banish these burdens forever. They fear a change in form, in feature, in personal attractive ness, and that the lees of life will alone remain at the bottom of the cap of existence. 'Such fears are largely warranted by the effects which this change produces in many women. But no woman need let these fears fret her, who from the time of the first change of life, from girl hood to woman hood, has taken care to constantly keep her system in vjjrorous health. Those who have used Dr. Pierce's Fa vorite Prescription do not suffer from the change of life either in face, form or feel ings as do other women. This fact is due to the intimate connection of the general health with the health of the organs pecu liarly feminine. By preserving the health of these organs, and relieving the system from the debilitating drains, ulcers and in flammations which sap its health, Favor ite Prescripton paves the way for this natural change to come in Nature's way, without the loss of capacity to please others or the personal inability to enjoy life. Mrs. M. Barnes, of Balls Ferry, Shasta Co., CaL, writes: My phvsician said X was suffering from the effects of chance of life." I had heart disease and womb trouble and rheumatism. Mv head was so dizzy I could hardly stand up. "When 1 began Dr. Pierce's medicines I improved neht along. I took seven or eight bottles of the Favorite Pre script ion, a teaspoonful three times a dav, and the Pleasant Pellets' at night. X feel as well as I ever did." There is no alcohol, whisky or other intox icant in "Favorite Prescription," neither does it contain opium or other narcotics. Yon may be willing that somebody else shall say that their baby is "just as good" as yours, but yon don't want that baby sub stituted for yours. Let dealers say what they like about other medicines being "just as good" but don't let them substi tute anything for Favorite Prescription." Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cleanse the clogged system of imparities. UNKNOWN HEROES. Hiss Mitchell Says Many Died Trying: to Save Others at GalveBOto. Miss Maggie Mitchell, daughter of D. SI. Mitchell, of 1043 Arch street, is an other Topeka young woman who passed through the Galveston storm safely. Miss Mitchell Is chief stenographer In the freight department of the Gulf, Col orado Santa Fe. She sends additional details of the general wreck in a letter to relatives. Nearly every room in their office building was wrecked, except the freight office. The train sheds are all gone. Feventy-three people were in the offices through the night of the storm. Miss Mitchell was spared that exper ience as she had been driven home in a carriage at noon Saturday and could not go back after dinner, or even telephone after 2 p. m. Even then they thought it was just a hard wind storm but when they saw rowboats coming from the beach filled with women and children, they moved to the second story. Miss Mitchell tells of Mr. Fonda's ex citing adventure. He shut himself in his home, was driven to the attic, the roof was. blown off and he jumped into a reservoir and stayed all night; the thing was blown out in the gulf, but with the tide was washed back and at daylight lie came to and found himself on Twelfth and Broadway. Mr. Fonda suffered a fractured skull. "We are rot suffering for w-ater," she says, "nor has. pur household suffered for a thing- ;durlng It all. Many of our friends lost their lives trying to save others and s many noble things were done. I lost lots of friends but none of my irrosf intimate ones." SHE WOULD MOYE. Proud Little Girl Who Did Not Want Order For Books. A proud spirited little girl called on Mrs. Thorpe Wednesday and asked if she could get books so that she might attend school. Mrs. Thorpe asked the child if she had not been working in the "pickle factory in North Topeka and if she had not made some money there." "Yes, but both I and Charlie had to pay our money for our cow and now the cow is dead and we still owe J17 on her," replied the child. She was given a note to the board of education and soon returned with a let ter to the principal of the school. She was crying and Mrs. Thorpe asked her what the trouble was. "The letter is an order for your books and you certainly should not cry," said Mrs. Thorpe. "Oh, I know it, and I would rather die than let our principal know I had to get my books this way," sobbed the child. "I am going to get father to move Into the country." .i vVSr I iJJ U 1 YRUPo'jiEGS Cleanses the System Gently and Effectually when bilious or costive. resents in llie most a ccepfsBcform the Jjzratire principles cf plants Anotrjt to -act mast Iteieucialfy: TO GET ITS BENEFICIAL EFFECTS BUY THE GENUINE MANFD.

A Sweeping Claim Made For the Akron Giant. A SHOT AT JEFFRIES. Gus Declared to Be a Fighter, Not an Actor. Maher to Be Giren First Chance For a Match. New York, Sept. 20. Gus Ruhlin Is champion of the -world. At least that is what hiB manager, Billy Madden, claims him to be, and all because Jim Jeffries won't fight him. "When I managed John L. Sullivan's affairs, years ago," said Madden to day, "I proclaimed him the champion six months before he won the title by battle. Then, again, Charley Mitchell gained the championship of his country through me two weeks in advance of his fighting for it. So you see when I claim the honor for Ruhlin I cannot be far astray. "Some time ago I issued a challenge to Jeffries to fight for the championship of the world, and posted $1,000 to show that I meant business. He paid no at tention to my proposition, but instead went about trying to arrange a match with Fitzsimmona, by whom he was told repeatedly was retired. The grounds on which I claim Gus champion are the very same as those which existed when Sullivan and Mitchell got their honors. "Now that I have the champion, I want to say he will fight to defend the title against all comers. He is a fighter, not an actor, and whenever a defl is is sued I will accept it for Gus, no mat ter from whom it comes. Of course, I would like to bring about a fight with Jeffries, but if that is impracticable why the next beat man will be accom modated. "It is my intention, if Jeffries further Ignores Ruhlin, to give Peter Maher the first chance, and the battle will be for the championship of the world. I re gard him as next in line. This match will take place as soon as it can be ar ranged, and no very serious conditions will be asked of Maher. Then after Pe ter let any one come." Ruhlin had little to say regarding Ills manager's action. "I would like to win the title from Jeffries," he said, "as there is so much credit goes with it. The general public is fickle, and goodness knows what some of them will say of me. But the best chances can come if I hold the ti tle and no stage engagements will keep me from defending it. But I'm not go ing to get caught in the fix I was when I fought Fitzsimmons. When I fight it'll be in the best; if I lose, well it will be a better man who'll win." ONCE MORE It is Stated That Pitcher Joe McGin nity Will Retire. New York, Sept. 20. Joe McGinnity, the star pitcher of the champion Brook lyns and the premier of ball twirlers of the year to date, will probably quit base ball after the close of the season. His arm is just as good as it ever was and may be even better, so that it isn't any physical defect that has caused the pitcher to make his decision. Mac is an iron manufacturer, having a business of his own in McAllister, I. T. During the two years he has devo ted to the game of baseball his business has fallen off a bit, and he feels that it requires his personal care. Fans gen erally think McGinnity the greatest pnener tnat ever twirled a ball to a batsman. His performances are not of the spasmodic variety. Steadiness has always been his rule, and when he goes into a game It's odds-on that his team will win. This is his second year in the big league. ANOTHER, STORY Concerning Ex-Champion Jim Cor bett's Visit to England. London, Sept. 20. Quite a sensation has been created in pugilistic circles by the report which has gained circulation to the effect that Jim Corbett, who ar rived here Saturday from America, Is to take charge of the National Sporting club. The National club has a world wide reputation and is patronized by the better class of sporting people. The story is that Corbett is anxious to get control of the club so that he can pull off contests between American fighters of note. So Tar Corbett has not denied the story and it is being discussed at the big clubs and sporting resorts as being quite probable. WILL SUE MRS. "KID" M'COY. Actress Elfie .Fay Resents Being Named as Corespondent, New York, Sept. 20. Elfie Fay, the soubrette, is indignant that her name should have been dragged before the public in connection with the matrimon ial troubles of "Kid" McCoy and his wife. Mrs. McCoy named the actress as a corespondent in her suit for divorce. Under a new law corespondents are en titled to be represented by counsel in a trial and when this case is brought into court a lawyer will be there to defend Miss Fay. She will later bring action for damages. "There is no warrant for the use of my name In this case," she declared today. "What defense can a girl make against such slander? It's just awful. I knew Mr. McCoy, yes, but if a mere acquaintance with a gentleman is to blast a woman's reputation, in heaven's name, what is to become of us? "I met Mr. McCoy three times. On two of these occasions he was accom panied by iris wife, who impressed me as being a lovely, amiable creature. I can't understand how she could have brought this charge against me." WITH HIS FISTS Referee George Siler Fought His Way Out of a Tight Place. Chicago, 111., Sept. 20. George Siler, the veteran referee, and in his day the peer of any man of his ouncesand inches, demonstrated early yesterday morning that he had not forgotten how to han dle his "bunches of fives." Siler was in a Dearborn street saloon, just before daylight, when the trouble occurred. Present at the time were Jimmy Ryan, Tom Kerr, Eugene Carter, Billy Catton, and half a dozen others. Siler got into a wordy wrangle with Ryan over a grievance which dated back to Carson City and his troubles with Jim Corbett. Both men were pretty well keyed up and indulged in a cross fire of invective about as interesting to the bystanders as a Georgian chant is to native Sene gambiana. No one paid any attention to the pair until Ryan made a lead at Siler, and the latter, deftly side-stepping, got away and shot his right out for Kyans nose, None to steadilv oiloted. the blow never theless intuitively reached Ryan's jaw, and Siler allowed his own "claim of a knockdown. It was here that some one save Siler the foot and the veteran fell. Then an unknown heel sunk its way into Siler's left eye. Tip in an instant. Siler wasoon swinging rights and lefts, and in this way worked his way through the crowd and out. Carter and Catton stay ed Kerr, who had taken up the running for Ryan, and the thing was done wun. CORBETT IN LONDON. Keeps Up His Denials Regarding the Fake With "Kid" McCoy. New York, Sept. 20. The Sun today publishes the following cable dlspatcn from London: "Corbett is quartered at the Hotel Cecil. The correspondent of the Sun asked him if he intended to fight again. -Certainly.' said Corbett. 'if I can get a man to meet me. I am crazy to meet Jeffries, but 1 think nea a "aeao. one." His left arm is gone, but if he wants to fight I am willing to put up $5,000 if the National Sporting club will bring Jeffries here and let me fight him. He outweighs me 45 pounds. 'McCoy.' said Corbett, 'is very clever, but he is not big enough. There is no question about Fitzsimmons being en titled to the championship. Public opin ion in America makes' champions and Fitz is the man now. I followed Fitz for two years after he defeated me at Car son City, but he refused to meet me, al though I put up the money.' "In regard to the stories that his wife had sued him for divorce, Corbett said that his domestic affairs did not concern the public. 'My reasons for leaving America," he said, 'are best known to myself. My wife's suit for divorce is news to me.' "Corbet has received a cablegram from his wife denying the statement that she intended to follow him." GRAND CIRCUIT WINNERS. Of the 456 Horses Which Competed, 212 Failed to Earn a Cent. At the nine Grand Circuit meetings from Detroit to New York there were 535 heats contested 275 trotting and 260 pacing. No less than 456 horses started at the various tracks, 242 of them being trotters and 214 pacers. Of this number 128 pacers and 116 trotters won money, while 212 failed to win even entrance fees. The trotter Boralma was the largest winner, he earning $8,000 for T. W. Lawson, of Boston, in four races. Bonnie Direct, with $6,975, headed the list of pacers.

Billings, an ama teur, drove Free Bond, by Simon, to wagon in 2:04. making a new world's record for amateur driver with a pacer that way of going. The meeting was re plete w-ith good racing and some jobs. In the 2:07 pace three horses split the race into seven heats, going from 2:06Vi to 2:13 to accomplish the trick. Bay Star, by Kentucky Star, won two races and now has a mark of 2:08. The Abbott trotted in 2:04 in a special trial to beat 2:04, making a new world's record for a gelding and coming within one-quarter of a second of the world's trotting record, 2:03, made by Alix at Galeaburg, 111.. September 19, 1894. MOCK HEROICS Will Be Spread on With a Butter Knife in This One. New York, Sept. 20. The play in which Champion James J. Jeffries is to star the country, entitled "The Man From the West," is to be presented in Shamokin, Pa., on September 20. The play deals rather with the melodramat ic business of the west, somewhat of the "Unhand the Goil!" sort of business, but the situations are withal interest ing. For instance, in the first act the scene will open upon the ranch of Jim O'Neill, a squatter at Three Forks, Mont., and as far as can be learned by the audi ence the squatter is about to be dispos sessed by a young man from the effete east, who lovea the sister of the dis possessee. Unfortunately, the sister falls in love with the effete easterner, and all is trouble. In this act Mr. Jeffries, who plays Sam King, the Sheriff of Three Forks, does several stunts. He makes his first entrance upon the back of a mustang, and says in melodramatic tones: "Leave that gal be!" This rude remark is addressed to a Mexican, who is trying to kiss some body's sister, and then the villainous Mexican sneaks. After the Mexican has wended his way to the presumably hence the heroine walks around to the sheriff, who, as stated, is the champion, and places a hand on his shoulder. Business here of Jeffries trying not to know what she is driving at, and some love scenes between them, the girl doing all the work. HARD GAME FOR WARNER, Coach of the Carlisle Indians Has Lost Many of Best Men. Carlisle, Pa., Sept. 20. "Pop" Warner will find it much harder to get a good football eleven together at Carlisle this year. He has lost too many of the valuable youngsters who had been at school for so long. Hudson is going into business in Pitts burg, and that of itself is a big handicap to the eleven, for scores were made in many a game by reason of the clever quarter back's ability to drop back of the line and send the ball flying over, the bar for a goal. Gravesend Races. New York, Sept. 20. Favorite players had a bad time at Gravesend. as only one actual first choice was first past the judges. This was Modrine in the second race. Luerana was equal favorite with In Shot in the fourth race, and her vic tory furnished consolation to a few. The Monarch stakes for 3-year-olds at one mile and a furlong was the feature, and O'Connor signalized his return to the saddle by winning with Rockton. McMeekin was the favorite, with Killi shandra and "Vulcain equal r-second choices. Rockton took the track at the fall of the flag, and showed the way for six furlongs, with Contestor at his sad dle. The latter then went to the front, followed by Klllishandra. but on the far turn, when Odom made his run on the rail with McMeekin, O'Connor again sent Rockton into the lead and showed the way into the stretch. Killishandra hung on to the last sixteenth pole, but then stopped, and, although Odom rode McMeekin out, he could never get to Rockton, who won cleverly in fast time. McMeekin and Killishandra finished second and third respectively. Builman was fined $200 and set down for the' balance of the meeting for what the stewards called reckless riding in the first race. Hemphill's Good Season. Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 20. Hemphill has been playing rattling good ball with the Kansas City team all season. His batting average is .310, his fielding av erage .913 and he has stolen 23 bases. While the feature of his season's work has been his steady dependable playing he has done a number of things that have bordered on the sensational. The most notable of these was a. one-handed running" catch m the last half of the ninth inning of a game with Chicago. that was pronounced "impossible." In four different games he has made four hits He has been regarded as by all odds the best man on the team to have up when there are men on bases. Races at St. Louis. St. Louis, Sept. 20. The unpropitious weather caused a marked falling oft in the attendance at Kinloch park, only the dyed-in-th-wool regulars being present The heavy going brought disaster to every favorite, the -winners turning up in tour outsiders and two second choices. Interest in the day's card centered in the fifth event, at one mile, which brought Barney Schreiber's crack horse, Ban nock Burn, and Bookmaker Fred Cook's great campaigner, John Morris, togeth er. Bannock Burn looked high in flesh and not up to a bruising battle race, but at that was made to top heavy favorite. Morris was well backed at 2 to 1 and made the whit faced son of Hayden Edwards look like a selling plater, romp ing in an easy winner by four lengths. Hawthorne Races. Chicago, Sept. 20. The feature of Wednesday's rather mediocre card at Hawthorne was the defeat in the third race of Bessie Macklin, the much touted "speed marvel," at her favorite dis tance, six furlongs. After leading by three lengths into the stretch, she al lowed Sly and Lady Curzon to beat her out for first and second money. It look ed like a case of faint heartedness on the part of Bessie, although this was the first time she had been asked to go in the mud. The all night rain made the course a perfect sea of mud and form players suf fered in consequence, favorites being badly beaten in the first three races. Columbus Races. Columbus, O., Sept. 20. The largest crowd of the meeting witnessed the races Wednesday. The weather was cloudy but warm and the track fast. Fred M. was a prohibitive favorite In the 2S pace and won in straight heats with speed to spare. The 2:20 trot furnished the only sur prise of the day. Wilhelm Melster Was picked to win, but Molo, who had been a strong second choice, proved to be a great sprinter and won in straight heats. Molo's finish in the third heat was sensational. He broke in the back stretch and dropped back to sixth place, but after he passed the three-quarters pole he went around the bunch and won from Gale, who looked a sure winner. Daisy J. was the favorite in the 2:19 pace. Mtckols laid up the mare in the first and then went In and won in consecutive heats. High Priced Show Mare. Lexington, Ky., Sept. 20. The 6-year-old brown mare Effle Lillian, a winner in both harness and saddle classes, was sold by Gay Bros., of Pisgah, to George Webb, of Philadelphia, for $5,000, and she was shipped to her new owner in Wilson's private car today. Effie Lillian was developed by Carpenter Bros., of Millersburg, and shown at several fairs in the state. Recently she came into the hands of T. E. Hutchens, who is said to have paid $1,500 for her, and within half an hour she had been bought by Gay Bros., at an increase of $500. She is considered the finest show mare in Kentucky. NATIONAL LEAGUE. AT BROOKLYN. The game between the Brooklyn and St. Louis clubs ended in a row in the third inning and Umpire Gaffney declared it forfeited to Brooklyn by a score of 9 to 0. With Farrell at third Jones sent a grounder to Wallace, who threw badly to the plate. Farrell slid under Robin son's hands and was declared sate. Robby jumped up and, after throwing the ball at Gaffney, rushed up and struck him on the chest with Ma Jist. The umpire swung his mask at the player, just graz ing his nose. He ordered the big catcher out of the game, but he refused to go and McGraw backed him up. After wait ing the customary time Gaffney declared the game forfeited and McGraw with drew his men from the field. McGinnity and Jones were the opposing pitchers and the game promised to be in teresting. Brooklyn had scored a run on a homer by Jennings in the first and an other in the third on Farrell's double, McGinnity's sacrifice and the play above mentioned, while St. Louis was blanked, although they gave indications of batting hard, having made five hits to two for Brooklyn. The 800 spectators received their money back. AT NEWIOEK.

Her story is that they brought him to Los Angeles, Cal., where she accidentally discovered him but was prevented by the defend ants from seeing her husband, and shortly afterwards they brought him to Kansas City, where he sank rapidly and died. Mrs. Cone telegraphed to them to hold the funeral but her husband was buried before she arrived and his trunk and valise disappeared together with, as she claims, $50,000 worth of notes, bonds, mortgages, certificates of deposit, in cluding about $20,000 in cash. She sues? for the conversion of the same alleging undue influence. The depositions of scores of persons residing all over the country have been read and volumes of testimony introduced by the defendants to show that Thomas E. Cone feared and hated his wife, believing that at one time she had tried to poison him, and allege that if he disposed of his pro perty, he did so of his own free will. The ca3e goes to the jury today. The arguments of counsel will probably con sume a day and a half. Judge Thomson is trying the case, while J. H. Broughton, W. W. Redmond of Marysville. and Codding and Challis of Westmoreland represent the plaintiff, juage- ornery or iseneca and w. G. Gregg of Frankfort defending. FUNERAL AX NIGHT. Ceremonies Over Body of Bev.

From the Coffeyville Journal.! A few nights ago as the. Missouri Pa cific passenger train stopped at Yates Center, Engineer J. R. Hanley heard a cat mewing somewhere near him. He climbed down off the engine. and began investigation. He found the cat snugly located on the front trucks of the bag gage car. It had come all the way from Little Rock, Ark., in that way, a ride of almost 18 hours. Mr. Hanley took the cat off the trucks and gave it to the depot men who took care of it. CARL BROWNE'S AIRSHIP. Will Start Factory at Freedom and Quit Politics. Fort Scott. Sept. 20. Carl Browne. the man who married General Coxey'si daughter, has invented a flying machine which he calls a rotary winged wheel machine, drawings of which -are now being considered, according to letters re ceived by him from the board of ord nance of the war department. He has been at work secretly on a model at the labor exchange colony of Freedom near this city where he and his wife live. Today he announced that he had sold a one-seventh interest in the Invention and would begin the construc tion of a flying machine factory at Free dom a week from Sunday. His descrip tion of the machine is scientific.

TOPEKA STATE JOTTRNAIj, THUKSDAT EVENING, SEPTEMBER 20, 1900. A DAILY NUISANCE. A Simple Remedy Which Will Inter est Catarrh Sufferers. In Its earlier stages catarrh Is more ef a nuisance than menace to the gen eral health, but sooner or later, the dis ease extends to the throat, bronchial tubes and even to the stomach and in testines. Catarrh is essentially a disease of the mucous membrane, the local symptoms being a profuse discharge of mucous, stoppage of the nostrils, irritation in throat, causing coughing, sneezing, gag ging and frequent clearings of the throat and head. The usual treatment by local douches, snuffs, salves, etc., often gives tem porary relief, but anything like a cure can only be obtained by a treatment which removes the catarrhal taint from the blood and the disappearance of the Inflammation from the mucous surfaces. A new remedy which meets these re quirements and which so far has been remarkably successful in curing catarrh is Stuart's Catarrh Tablets. These tablets act upon the blood and mucous membranes only. They can hardly be called a secret patent medicine as they are composed of such valuable remedies as Sanguinaria, Hydrastin, Eucalyptol and similar cleansing anti septics, which cure by eliminating from the blood and mucous surfaces the ca tarrhal poison. Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are large, pleasant tasting lozenges taken Internal ly, allowing them to dissolve slowly in the mouth, in this way they reach the threat, fauces and the entire alimentary canal. If desired, they may also be dissolved In water and used as a douche, in addi tion to the internal use, but It is not at ail necessary to use a douche: a few of them dissolved in the mouth daily will be sufficient. However, when there is much stoppage of the nose, a douche made from these tablets will give im mediate relief, but the regular daily use internally of these tablets will cure the w hole catarrhal trouble without resort ing to the inconvenience of a douche. Dr. Bement states "that the internal treatment for catarrh is rapidly taking the place of the old plan of douching, and local application," and further says "that probably the best and certainly the safest remedy at present and on the market is Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, as no secret is made of their composition and all the really efficient remedies for catarrh are contained in this tablet." Druggists sell Stuart's Catarrh Tablets at fifty cents for full sized packages. Ask your druggist and if he is honest he will tell you there is no safer, more palatable, more efficient and con"enient remedy on the market. A STILL HUXT Xa Being Prosecuted by the liberal J? arty in England. New Tork, Sept. 20. A dispatch to the Tribune from London says: Lord Salisbury has passed a busy day In London, holding his usual weekly re ception and seeing six or eight ambas sadors. His health has improved during his holidays in the Vosges and he has the manner of a statesman who con Bidera himself equal to any political emergency and to all anxieties of state. The Marquis of Lansdowne is almost the only colleague who has been closeted with him during the last 24 hours, but the war office is the point at which the press or cabinet reconstruction must naturally open. Sir William Walrond, the chief gov ernment whip, has kept a large force of clerks busy since the announcement of the dissolution of parliament was offi cially confirmed, but that is not proof that he was taken by surprise or that the Unionist canvass was not in an ad vanced state of preparation. Herbert Gladstone has been in Leeds, where he had an appointment to address his own political supporters and the Liberal headquarters have been deserted. The Liberals are not making a noisy can vass. but are conducting what is desig nated in America, as a still Hunt. They do not expect to carry the elec tions and, indeed, would be embarrassed if the unexpected should happen and they should hnd themselves in the ma jority and then be unable to form a working homogeneous ministery. Their leading men frankly concede a Unionist victory and assert that Mr. Chamberlain must have the responsibility of settling the war. What they do expect is that by a care ful and Judicious course of candidates and by avoidance of wasteful contests, they may be able to reduce the Unionist majority to fifty or seventy. Every ap peal to the electorate is fraught with surprises and the Liberals may do bet ter than their most hopeful politicians imagine and without doubt it is true that the last parliament was more strongly Unionist than the country and that the least thirty seats naturally Lib eral were captured accidentally. These Beats under normal conditions would be regained by the Liberals this year, but as many more are imperilled because their radical holders were out of touch with British policy when the "soldiers f the queen" were fighting in South Africa. Political experts for thi3 reason are disposed to believe that Liberal gains will be balanced by losses and that the new parliament will be a3 strongly Unionist as the old parliament. While the China question does not en ter into the political canvassand. indeed. is temporarily iaid on the sheif until Count von Waidersee can arrive at Pekin from Hong Kong to take com mand of the International forces and save the dignity of the German empire, South Africa has again become the cen ter of public interest. General French has been converted into an electioneer ing agent, whose captures of engines and military stores are invested with politi cal significance and whose arrival at Koomataport is looked for about the date of the final nominations for parlia ment. Special dispatches describing the demoralization of the Boer forces and forecasting a general surrender of the burghers still in arms are well timed for election purposes and the rumor has keen revived that Lord Roberts will re sign the command and leave General Builer in charge of the army of occupa tion about the time when the first con tests are held in England and Scotland. Lord Roberts is, however, a good soldier and a poor politician. The war is com ing to an end. but is not yet finished, as the siege of a British garrison for weeks on the western Transvaal sufficiently in dicates and his Judgment will be indis pensable in the final stages, when police work is substituted for military cam paigning and the defeated and desperate burghers need to be alternately coaxed and bullied into laying down their arms and abandoning a hopeless conflict. llSSTETTEirs The best tc edi cts to take for Indigestion, Dyspepsia.

Important Question to Be Dis cussed at Buffalo May Pat an End to Low Con Tent ion Bates. OPPOSED IN THE EAST. Claimed That Western Men Are Behind the Scheme. Does It Pay to Increase Traffic by Cutting Bates St Louis," Sept. 20. Secretary A.' J. Smith of the American Association o: General Passenger and Ticket Agents has just issued a circular to members giving a list of the various important questions to be considered at the meet' ing to be held tn' Buffalo, N. T.. on Oc tober 16. One matter -which has been proposed for discussion by General Passenger Agent C. E. EL Ussher of the Canadian Pacific is bound to excite unusual inter est. It-is "that no convention rates be made less than fare and one-third be tween June 1 and August 31 in each year." This is aimed at the wholesale innovations made during the past year on the standard one and one-third rate. Hundreds of gatherings have been granted a one-fare rate and hundreds more a rate or one rare pms iz. Aaaeu to these is the demoralization arising from home-seekers, home visitors, tour ist and special excursion rates.by means of which any one can make long and protracted Journeys during the summer months at practically hair rate. Commissioner Farmer of the Kastern Trunk association was quoted recently as saying that the eastern lines were right in refusing to accede to the propo sition of the western lines to raise con vention rates to one and one-half fare. He said if western lines would shut down on one fare and one fare plus J2 rates their revenues would be sustained and there would be no necessity for in creasing the one and one-third rate. While his conclusion may be aU right, his statement that the western lines proposed the increase is not correct. That proposition emanated from the Central Passenger association, which is composed mostly of eastern lines. It was subsequently taken up by the west ern asosciation. General passenger agents of all the western lines have expressed themselves as highly gratified with tne heavy tour ist and excursion business done the past summer to Rocky Mountain and North ern lake resorts. The rates were lower than ever before, being practically one fare for the round trip, with a 30 day limit, which could be easily extended. These special excursion rates grew out of one -fare rates for conventions, it be ing Justly argued that if there was a profit 100 or 200 persona to a convention 1,000 miles away at half rates, there would be correspondingly larger profit in carrying thousands of health and pleasure seekers at the same rate. This will bring the argument at the meeting down to the old problem, "Does it pay to increase passenger traffic tem porarily by reducing tariff rates?" The following is the list of subjects given In Secretary Smith s circular, re ferred to: First Anti-Ticket Scalping Leglslo- tion: This is in the hands of a stand ing committee composed of the chair man of the several territorial passenger associations, who asked for further time at the last meeting. Second The last meeting adopted the following: Resolved, That the time by which only the perfect safety paper shall be used ror tne issuance of inter line tickets be extended to January 1, 1901. Some further action is necessary as some important lines will not fcave the paper in use by that time. Third Enlargement of the usefulness of the association. The committee to report upon this question is Messrs. Ford, Donald, Flanders, Weeks, C. S. Lee, Farmer, Turk, Richardson, Town send, Pratt, Kniskern itnd MacLeod. Fourth Issuance of compendium of passenger rates and divisions. The com mittee is Messrs. Lynch, Davis, Connor, Wood, Danley, Townsend, Kxiiskern, Whitney and Ryan. The secretary's circular of August 15, 1900, requesting members to submit sub jects for consideration has been re sponded to as below: By Mr. I P. Farmer on behalf of the Trunk Line association, which wishes to have the. question of the prosecution of ticket forgers considered. By Mr. d a E Ussher, the question of "placing orders for prepaid tickets by wire," and that "no convention rates be made less than fare and one-third be tween June 1 and August 31 in each year." By Mr. W. B. Kniskern, the question of issuing regular rate sheets once in six months; suggests 1st of May and No vember respectively. By Mr. S. K. Hooper, the question of adding an insurance feature to the as sociation. By Mr. M. G. Carrel, the question of eliminating the brass check for bag gage, both local and foreign. Mr. James R. Wood, general passen ger agent of the Pennsylvania railroad, will deliver the annual address. The Pan-American exposition will be held in the city of Buffalo, commencing May 1, 1901, and continuing until No vember 1, 1901. It will be most complete In every detail, probably the most ex tensive in all particulars of any similar exposition held in this country since the World's fair at Chicago. Surprising progress has been made in preparing for this event. The work is in the hands of experienced and progressive men.who express the hope that every general passenger agent In the United States. Canada, Mexico, Central and South America win attend this meeting and while in Buffalo accept their hospitali ties and visit the exposition grounds and buildings, which at that time will be in an advance stage of completion, and to their request is added the urgent invitation of all the Buffalo terminal lines, both rail and lake. COLEMAN IN CHARGE. Santa Fo Will Control the Grand Canon Railway. Word comes from Colorado that R. R. Coleman has been appointed receiver of the Grand Canon railway. Mr. Coleman is a thorough railroad man. For years he was one of the superintendents of the great railway building firm of B. La n try Sons, and for several years he was superintendent of the Santa Fe. Pree cott Phoenix railway. Coleman has chopped off the salary list at the top. Inclusive of a "general traffic manager," and is running the line with little more assistance than a train crew and a clerk. The passenger travel is not hard to fiandie, but there is some freight business in ore from the canon copper mines and in hauling water for the mines, and tor a number of surveying parties now at work In the forest re serves. It is understood thai the Santa Fe Pa cific has guaranteed to make up any possible monthly deficit incurred through the operation of the line, and it is further announced that measures are maturing for the completion of the road to the rim of the canon. The plans also include the erection of a fine Har vey house on the brink of the gorge, to be ready for next summer's business. The railroad can readily be operated during the winter, when the stage coaches from Flagstaff were compelled to stop by the snows, and it is believed that the winter travel will soon more than equal the best record of the sum mer months. The Santa Fe managers appreciate the value of the canon aa an advertisement for their line. PASSING OF WOODEN BRIDGES All Enterprising Railroads Are Dis pensing With Them, Steel bridges are rapidly supplanting the old wooden and iron structures on the majority of the better western rail roads. During the past summer the Rock Island, Burlington, Alton, Mil waukee St. Paul, Santa Fe, Missouri Pacific and Northwestern companies have had thousands of men at work building new steel bridges in place of wooden ones. The latter are not al ways in an unsafe condition, but they are wooden, and that tells the whole story. Bridges have come to be a very Important factor among railroads. There is no one thing that is so unsafe in a variety of ways as a wooden rail road bridge. Its liability to fire is al ways great, and Its piers and stringers may be cut or rot away under water, while managers of the road3 are un aware. Few railroads start in with steel structures, but in a few years the entire system must be gone over and steel bridges substituted if the operation of the system is to be conducted on safe lines. This summer the Rock Island has abandoned about 200 wooden bridges, small and large, at different points on its system, both east and west of the Missouri river. Forty steel bridges, ag gregating 1319 feet in length and con taining 200 tons of bridge metal were substituted for wooden structures on the Chicago Northwestern system during the past twelve months. This in con tinuance of the company's policy of re placing wooden bridges by steel ones on masonry. Whenever practicable, masonry arch and box culverts and cast-iron pipes have been used instead of steel spans, and the openings have been filled in, thus making a continuous solid roadbed. The wooden structures replaced by per manent work in this way during the year, exclusive of those replaced in con nection with the laying of second main tracks, amounted to a trifle over two miles in length. The substitution of steel for wooden bridges is very expensive, but it will re sult in ultimate savings to the different systems by reducingto theminimum lia bility of wrecks through burned trestles and rotten wooden piers. It will mean much more safety to travel. PAY FOR CAR USE. Railways May Adopt a Per Diem System. When the American Railway associa tion assembles for its annual meeting October 17, the contention to make a per ciiem charge for cars taken off their own lines will be taken up. The present system of charging for the mileage of oars off the owning road has been declared to be unsatisfactory by transportation men for some time, says an exchange, but the matter of changing it has been deferred from time to time, and it seems an extremely diffi cult thing to get concerted action on, although leading transportation men contend that the per diem can be the only correct system and the only one which would guarantee for the owning roads a correct settlement for the use of their cars by others, and, besides, get the most service out of these cars them selves. The owning roads must depend on those getting the use of their cars for a correct accounting under the present system, which is much abused and causes a great loss of revenue. Fre quently cars are taken off to some re mote territory and lost to the owners for a long time. When returned they only get payment for a mileage that frequently does not begin to cover the use of the cars. By the per diem sys tem the roads owning the cars could keep its own record and charge for their use, Just as freight is charged. A combined mileage and per diem sys tem, planned by J. M. Daly, now super intendent of transportation of the Lack awanna, and formerly of the New Tork Central, is being tried at Chicago by the Illinois Central, the Hocking Valley, the Chicago, Milwaukee St. Paul, the San ta Fe and a few other roads centering there. By this system both a per diem and mileage record is kept, but for the latter the record is open to the same ob jection as the straight mileage system. RUINED WHARVES AT GALVESTON. Prosperity Was the Keynote of the Stricken City's Psalm of Life. 7- jf I,' l1lJrfciifrti., n ..v 4 t" wi i.r Everything seemed auspicious for Galveston before the present catastrophe. The Southern Pacific and ether large interests promised a brilliant future, nature smiled, and now- 1 From the-checking of both systems an average is taken in making the charges for the borrowed cars. SHORT OF COAL CARS. Santa Fe Having Trouble to Supply Demand. Early fall coal deliveries, beginning the latter part of last month, have been unusually heavy, and the Santa Fe is pressed for coal cars for immediate hauls. It is the season for laying In winter's stores by schools, public buildings and public works, as well as for the fore handed householder. Business conditions have been such that mill and factory orders are heavier than in past years in many instances. Besides the road finds its own consumption a big factor in bringing about this condition of affairs. Increase in traffic and activity in its shops has made itself felt to the extent of putting an unexpected burden on this class of car equipments. HOLDING THEIR GRAIN. Railroad Hen Say Farmers Are Not Shipping. Less grain is moving out of originat ing points than for some time past. East bound grain shipments from Chi cago recorded a slight decrease from the week previous. Railroad men estimate that, with all the present congestion in elevators, it is not a high percentage of the crop that has been moved so far, and that over halE is being held back for higher prices. As one official puts it: "Business condi tions are such on Kansas, this year, that the farmer can afford to hold on to bis wheat. And he is holding on appar ently. I don't believe more than 35 or 40 per cent of the wheat crop has come out to the railroads thus far." PARKER WILL INSPECT. Rock Island General Manager to Look Over Chickasha lane. General Manager H. A. Parker, of the Rock Island, was in Topeka Wednesday. Mr. Parker was en route to Chickasha, where he will look over the new line out of Chickasha to Man gum. Already a heavy business is reported over this line. It has only been in opera tion for a few weeks, but tapping aa it does a rich country it is bound to be profitable. Traveling with Mr. Parker are Chief Engineer W. E. Dauchy and H. E. Hor ton, president of the Chicago Bridge Iron company. y SHERWIN IS PROMOTED. Wichita Missouri Pacific Official Goes to Fort Scott Wichita, Sept. 20. On the first of Oc tober Mr. Ira Sherwin, who has been in the Missouri Pacific ticket office in this city, will take the position as the city ticket agent of the Missouri Pacific at Fort Scott. Mr. Sherwin takes the place of Mr. A. X Hollinger, who was formerlv of this city associated with Mr. E. E. Bleckley. Mr. Hollinger goes to Little Rock, Ark., and will have a splen did position there. Mr. Sherwin's friends are congratulat ing him on the position and of his for tune in being the lucky man. Just who his successor will be in the office here has not been decided. FROM WELLINGTON. Mrs. Chet Harding of Mulvane, wife of Brakeman Harding.formerly running out of Wellington, is in the city visiting the family of Engineer S. H. Barner. Engineer John Buswell stopped in on his way to Hutchinson from a trip to Chanute. Rev. and Mrs. J. B. Landreth of Springfield, Mo., have arrived in the city on an extended visit to the family of their son. Engineer Jack Landreth. George Long is here from Cofteyville to attend the jubilee and visit his par ents. Rev. and Mrs. William Long. George is now a conductor on the Mis souri Pacific. Clarence Goss, bill clerk at the freight depot, picked up a bucket of white lead paint yesterday. The bail slipped off on one side and tore a big gash in one of his fingers. He was. working in the place of Elmer Gleason, the regular night bill cleric Blood poisoning is feared. SANTA FE LOCALS. Harry Way of the superintendent's office has been sick for a few days. Ben Johnson, engineer of tests is gathering data on the Chicago division. William Bush of the roundhouse is acting as foreman during the absence of William Hoeck. Amos Beeler gave engine 295 her trial trip yesterday. What has become of the Santa Fe Reds?

Mrs. Hoeck and little son have been visiting in Little Rook for a short time. A few days ago the baby was taken sick and soon died. k.kM .7' -1. I ..OC S a V j:- Z L.'' -T'- FUSIONISTS TURN. Open County Campaign With Wakarusa Picnic. John Breidenthal and Maj. A. M. Harvey Speak. TALK ABOUT TRUSTS. Maj. Uarrey Says Republicans Favor Them. Mr. Breidenthal Attacks the National Banks. So far In the Shawnee county campaign the elements have not been partial to either political party. The Populists ex perienced the same kind of weather at their Wakarusa meeting Wednesday that the Republicans found a week ago. The ground was muddy and the seats wet, pools of water stood in the grove, and early "in the morning the sky was cloudy, but by noon the sun appeared. No special train was run from Topeka, but about 40 people went down on the reg ular trains, and the country folk who came in wagons brought the attendance at the meeting up to 300. Major A. M. Harvey, who has served as lieutenant governor and is again a candidate, was born and grew- up near Wakarusa, in Shawnee county, and is well known in the locality in which the rally was held. Probably 100 of the people who attended the picnic went to hear "Alex" Harvey speak. Many of them had heard his efforts on the school room rostrum, and they wished to hear him spellbinding on the stump, no matter what his creed. Two deputy sheriffs had been sworn in to preserve order, profiting by the ex perience of the Republicans, but they had nothing to do. A "cane rack" was ail that was operated. MAJOR HARVEY SPEAKS. After a basket dinner Major Harvey spoke. He said: "There are only two elements that go to make up society: the people and the property. All of our political issues grow out of the controversies between prop erty interests and the people's interests. "I wish to call your attention to the laws placed upon the statute books when the Republican party has been in power In Kansas. The laws have all been in the interests of the investors and the cor porations. The courts were then not filled with eases to see whether corpora tion laws could be passed against the in terests of the people. Tou remember when we considered the 18 months' re demption act to save the people's homes. It was not to destroy the investors' rights but to give the people a chance to build homes. The Republicans said that if we would nass a trust deed law that it would be better. The Republican organs were filled wltn articles to prove tnat tne trust deed would be the best. The Republicans said that if the 18 months' redemption act was passed it would take the investors' money away from Kansas, but since it was passed the interest rates have come down and investments have been more secure. We caused to be made a law that when a man owned a building and had it insured and it burned that the insurance should be paid in full. Governor Morrill made that law an annulity. It was never enforced until the People's party put Web McNall in power and he said that the insurance companies should obey that law or get out of the state. I do not charge Governor Morrill with being dishonorable, but he was in sympathy with the insur ance comoanies. "We made it a crime to bring Pinker- tons into the state, we made it a crime for men to be forced to take scrip to trade at 'company' stores. The people who have championed the laws in the legisla ture that have been in the interests of the people have been fought by the Re publicans. Tou can take the statute books for the past 10 years and find that every general law has been passed by the People's party. "Governor Stanley wants to be re elected on his record. I shall make no re marks on Governor Stanley personally, but politically. When he was made gov ernor he sent a message to the legisla ture and said, 'give me a small contingent fund: I will not be like some governors. I only want a little. The legislature took him at his word. Now he has gotten out a report showing that he has turned back part of the fund into the treasury. He didn't need it all. He is telling that in his campaign literature, and his spell binders are speaking it. Governor Stan ley spent some of that contingent fund to have Jim Troutman file charges against Web McNall. and he spent part of it to hire two well known resubmis sionists "to enforce the prohibitory law in the Leavenworth Klondike. "The barb-wire and nail trust came to Kansas and closed up the Lawrence barb wire and nail mill, and the farmers of Kansas are now paying three times more for nails and barb-wire. We have a good anti-trust law, as good as any in the union, yet Governor Stanley says he is afraid to tackle the trusts. He did not spend a cent of his contingent fund to prosecute the trusts, but turned part of it back into the treasury. The zinc and lead trust has made it impossible for the best mines at Galena to mak a cent. Tou might own the best oil well in southeast ern Kansas, but you could not operate it without the consent of the Standard Oil company. The latest organization to hurt the farmers is the Kansas Grain Dealers' association. It was organised to make $7,000,000 out of the Kansas wheat crop. You can not ship a car of wheat and get the market price unless you be long to the association. 1 believe tnat Governor Stanley is following the examole of the man spoken of in the parables who had but one talent. He has only one talent, and that is not to use ma con tingent fund. Major Harvey spoke upon national is sues ana in reierenee to imperialism saia: "Nationally the most important question is the control of the islands that have come into our possession. Some say there is nothing in imperialism, and that it is all moonshine, because the Repub licans favor our going into the colony business. I' am for expansion, but I am not for imperialism. Some say the policy of the Republican party is the same as Jefferson's in regard to the Louisiana purchase, but his policy was that all ter ritory annexed should have state rights and all people have the rights of citizen ship, but in our Philippine treaty when we paid pai.uw.uou lor l.uw.wu juaiays ana no erovernment land, nothing was said about citizenship. It was simply buying people at 2 a neaa. MR. BREIDENTHAL SPEAKS. John Breidenthal, fusion candidate for governor, followed. He made a lengthy address upon the money question and state issues. ie said: "The worst thine In the Renubllcan fiarty is the intense partisanship and ying. Now I do not mean to say that Republicans alone have that fault, for some Populists are the same way, and some Populists can lie as fast as Repub licans. Four years ago several sons of their fathers were sent to Kansas to speak. Stephen A. Douglas, jr., was one and at Olathe he said, 'I am here to edu cate the heathen.' Now I am not here for that -Durnose. "The first seml-polftical organization formed after the civil war was the Grangers. You will remember, many of you, that the complaint was that justice was not being done the farmers, and the Grangers asked for justice. The ques tion is. Was there any just complaint? The answer is that the demands of the Grangers were nlaced in ttartv platforms, The political parties believed they should taKe mem up. ine next semi-ponticai organization was the Knights of Labor. The complaint was that injustice was be ing done tne laDorer. io special priv ileges were asked for. but Justice, and the political parties took up the cause of the Knights of Labor. The next or ganization was the Greenbackers. They asttea ror a just nnanciai policy. xou can go to the political platforms of that time and find that they declare against the national banks. Have you Repub licans changed your minds? No one hon estly endorses the national banking sys tem. Why do people oppose the system? Because the national banks are run in their own interests. You can not censure the national bankers, for it is a good thing for them so long as the people give them the chance. They innate and then restrict the currencv of the country. All the great statesmen who will live in the memory 01 tne people stood wnere we stand on the question. If your Garfields. Blaines and McKinleys stood where we stand today, can you trust your Platts and Quays? Would you go to a grave vajd to find a man to revere? "All the evils that the political parties complain of can be traced to incorporated wealth. The opposition to the Republican -party stands for the people against the incorporated wealth. People are being taxed to pay for watered and inflated stocks. Should all national resources, such as the coal and oil regions be turned over to the control of corporations? "A word on the silver question. It has been said that no Populist would men tion 16 to 1. but that means more dollars and that means more wages and more prosperity. The silver mines were shut down because of depreciation in the price of silver said to be due to natural causes. The zinc mines have been shut down on account of a trust. That is what hap pened to silver." SCOTT AND FEEDER Speak at Colby in Joint Debate, and Ignore Mention of Sr. Dykes. Colby, Sept. 20. The three-cornered fight for congress in the Sixth congres sional district is now on in earnest, the second joint debate between Congress man W. A. Reeder and Tully Scott, the Democratic nominee.occurring in Colby. The first debate was held in Norton. In the Colby meeting the name of Dr. John B. Dykes, the Populist nominee, was entirely ignored by both Scott and Reeder. The armory here was filled with friends of both candidates, many in the audience being ladies, who gave the speakers respectful attention and fre quent rounds of applause. The home band furnished the music on the street, while the two glee clubs fairly captured all the listeners. These clubs are divid ed politically, and in political debates of this kind they are in clover. The Re publican glee club are: C. H. Warriner, Ike W. Crumley, R. Finley Beaver, and N. A. Turner, w-hile the Democratic glee club members are: William Lovitt, Jr., H. Clay Simpson, J. R. Connelly and Chas. Yost. Mrs. C. A. Allison, a Re publican lady, was the organist. As to whether Reeder or Scott got the best of the debate, the audience was too good-natured to say, and if there was any "flops" on either side it wasn't noticeable in the audience. Both Scott and Reeder are well pleased with their Colby meeting. They go from here to Hill City. SAXTA FE INTO GALYESTON Bepairs on Bridge and Track Have Been Completed. Advices received In Topeka announce that the repairs to the Santa Fe track and bridges In Galveston have been completed and that trains will be run ning on schedule time within a few days. In accordance with the above informa tion the Santa Fe has issued orders that all stations may receive shipments of freight for Galveston. SARGET DECLINES TO BUN Locomotive Firemen Seeking a New Head For the Order. Des Moines, Sept. 20. Grand Master F. M. Sargent, of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, announced today that he would not be a candidate for re election, having received a more re munerative offer outside of the order. This was a surpirse to the firemen, and the question of a new grand master is now being canvassed. The election of officers will probably occur in a day or two. Cuts and Bruises Quickly Healed.

Since the Maine election Joe Manley, probably figures that he Is a bigger man than Torn Reed. The election in Cuba ia said td have passed off In an orderly manner,' but there ia an afterwards. If there are no trusts, as Mr. Hanna Eays, then what becomes of that story of the silver miners' trust? About the only flopper who hasn't been welcomed by the party beneficiary to the flop, is Mrs. Mary E. Lease. Perhaps Democratic spellbinders will now reply to the full dinner pail argu ment by pointing to the empty coal bins. Now that John Bull has assumed the sovereignty of the South African repub lics, he will be expected to pay the debts. Eight members of the next congress have been elected up to date, two in Oregon, two In Vermont and four in Maine. All Republicans. Governor Roosevelt did not write so long a letter of acceptance as that of lYesident McKinley, but he committed himself Just as thoroughly. Announcements of large sums wager ed by Boss Croker on the election of Bryan have caused a revival of the In quiry: Where did he get It? Secretary Gage and Carl Schurz are reminded that some days have elapsed since the public had been treated to a letter from either gentleman. That "one tribe" In rebellion In the Philippines must be a large one. The government has found It necessary this week, to send on 1,648 more men. Since the Pennsylvania mine opera tors positively declare that they will not EUbmit the disagreement With the miners to arbitration, there seems to be no way left but to fight It out. It will be remembered to the credit of the strikers that they are and at all times have been willing to submit the caae to arbitration. Discussion of the trust question may as well be dropped. Senator Hanna Bays there are no trusts. When Mr. Bryan ble of recognizing a trust than Senator Hanna? When some man In the audi ence interrupts the Democratic orator to inquire about the ice trust he can reply that there are no trusts. When the Re publican orator refers to the cotton bale trust he may be met by the reply that there are no truts. When Mr. Bryan refers to the Republican party as the abettor of trusts, he can be met by the declaration, with Hanna to back It, that there are no trusts. Chicago Record: Whatever else is to follow, it is to be hoped that the present political discussions will be the means of clearing up some of the historical questions raised by thecampaign. Never has there been a time when the voter who looks habitually to the lives of great American statesmen fof enlighten ment and guidance has been so much at sea. Contrary to all precedent, and in spite of Mr. Bryan's frequent references to Thomas Jefferson as a foremost Democrat, Governor Roosevelt is now quoting Jefferson in his speeches, plain ly identifying him with the Republican party. Mr. Bryan, on the other hand, is demonstrating by copious quotations that Abraham Lincoln hitherto Identi fied with the Republican party, was In reality a devoted anti-Imperialist. George Washington is claimed by both parties and just where Patrick Henry, Miles Standish and Christopher Colum bus stand on the pending issues ia still to be settled. Perhaps Senator Hanna will yet discover signs of a strong Re publican sentiment in that peerless statesman, Andrew Jackson. Pending the revelation of the facts, however, the situation is a trifle confusing to the voter, who finds it difficult to decide whether he should follow in the steps of the great Demo-Republican, Jefferson, or the great Republican-Democrat, Lin coln. GALVESTON'S STORMY PAST. From the New York World. Galveston Is, or rather was, situated en pne of that series of low-lying isl ands that fringe the entire coast of the Gulf, practically at the sea-level, a prey to the hurricanes and the vast waves they catch up and fling upon the land. It i3 estimated that within the century 20.000" lives and upward of $100,000,000 of property have been destroyed on those islands. Until now Galveston Island has been luckier than any of its fellow-members of the chain. Although it lay only five feet above the sea-level it had had no great disaster. In 1857, when it was a village, the Gulf and the bay joined and burled It under ten feet of water for several hours. In 1867 It was almost en tirely submerged, the water being six Cat deep ia Mechanic street, the busi ness highway. In 1871 It was visited twice and was completely flooded each time. In 1873, again In 1875 and again In isaa Gulf and bay met over it The storm of 1875 tore off and bore away one end of the island. One reason for the large loss of life In this storm Is the over-confidence bred by these narrow escapes. The people be gan to think that their luck gave them immunity. It Is these facts that show the full ex tent of the courage of the citizens in their indignant refusal to listen to the warnings of the scientific men and move over to the mainland, making the island a mere port, with only a few per sons there In the daytime and none at all at night. If the city is rebuilt there certainly should be a vast artificial foundation of stone, with Impregnable break-waters such as those used by the resolute Hollanders In their long and usually triumphant warfare with the sea and the winds. GLOBE BIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. A man's bruises and sore spots are what he received in "whipping" his enemy. A politician can be busy with less to do than a society girl during lent. People almost universally have con tempt for a girl who Is "boy struck." It Is the general opinion that an old woman's life has been useless If she can't make bread, and fires. It is the complaint of every old man that his wife thinks more of some dog or cat than she thinks of him. We can tell what girls go to boarding school: they are the ones who are hun gry every minute of the summer. An Atchison man has agreed to invite his wife's mother to spend the winter with them. If she will build the fires. We wonder If the marriageable men of Atchison know that an Atchison widow, 27 years old, has $50,000, and a regular salary? A lot of Atchison men lately robbed themselves, by putting a lot of money into a Colorado mine, A man often picks his own pocket. Every man should be on the best of terms with his daughters for the reason that when they reach sixteen, they will run the house. The women do not walk enough for their health, the doctors say. Of course the steps from the table to the stove, and from room to room with a broom and dust pan, are not "walking." There was great excitement In an Atchison office today: a man employed to sweep out, was asked to wash a win dow, and he announced through his walking delegate that window washing was not in his line. Every woman In town who put up any fruit at all, put up twice as much as her family will eat. Do you know the explanation? Company. The boy who wants Jam, and can't have it, should remember this: Company. POINTEO PARAGRAPHS From the Chicago News. Wisdom has an up-hill fight against a fool. Be natural; borrowed garments seldom fit well. Silence Is the wisest, argument of the ignorant man. r A man's will seldom prevails against a woman's won't. The child of a cooper' is apt to have the hooping-cough. When the weather Is good for ducks It Isn't good for much else. An old settler isn't always so called because he pays his bills. It's a gross imposition when you pay for twelve dozen and get but eleven. Wise is the individual who dwells In an apartment house if he gives the jan itor the title of superintendent. FIRST TRAIN Will Enter Galveston Tonight Oyer Temporary Bridge. Galveston, Sept. 20. It Is definitely announced that the first train will enter Galveston tonight. The temporary bridge is two-thirds completed, and the remaining third will take only twelve hours. With the first train commerce will begin to revive. The needs of the homeless are still very great. The good weather has been a God-send and oppor tunity is being Improved. ATCHISON MAN HONORED. J. G. Fox Made Member of Wholesale) Druggists' Board of Control. Chicago, Sept. 20.

The furious gale which battered shipping oft Cape Cod Tuesday last, proved disastrous to fish ermen from this port. The schooner Iary A. Whalen, of this port, reached here today with her flag at half mast. Four of her men perished. The men were drowned by the capsiz ing of a yawl during the gale, while on the fishing grounds about seventy miles southeast of Highland Light. To Fetch Oom Paul. Perim, Sept. 20.

"I suffered for thirty years with diar rhoea and thought I was past being cured," says John S. Halloway, of French Camp. Miss. "I had spent so much time and money and suffered so much that I had given up all hopes of recovery. I was so feeble from the effects of the diarrhoea that I could do no kind of labor, couid not even travel, but by accident I was per mitted to find a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, and after taking several bottles I am entirely cured of that trouble, I am so pleased with the result that I am anxious that it be in reach of all who suffer as I have."

"I don't understand why so many peo ple who desire to commit suicide take arsenic, strychnine, carbolic acid or some such terrible poison mat is sure to cause terrible suffering before death comes to their relief," said one of a group of men at the Oxford. "I am not a chemist nor a pharmacist, but I am sure that ifl wanted to die I could choose a much more comfortable route in leav ing this weary world. There is one pois on that few people take with suicidal intent, or at least if they do no one is acquainted with the fact: The poison I refer to is potassium cyanide and it is deadly enough to suit the most deter mined suicidal aspirant. Potassium cyanide is a drug that is used a great deal in manufacturing and deaths are frequently caused by inhaling the fumes. It is used In certain processes of silver plating and is also used by jewelers to clean tarnished silverware. Chemists and photographers use it, or did use it, in removing the stains from their fingers. The drug acts upon the heart and a small quantity taken in ternally will stop the heart's action. It does not take long for the drug to act and death results quickly after the poison is taken and is almost painless. Unless a large quantity was taken it would be almost impossible for a post mortem examination to reveal the cause of the death. A physician once told me of an instance of poisoning from cyanide of potassium that impressed me and has always caused me to have a dread of it. He was standing talking with a young friend, a photographer, who was nibbling cloves which he car ried In his vest pocket. Suddenly he paused and gasped: 'Doc, I have swal lowed a piece of cyanide of potassium. I had a piece In my pocket and thought it was a piece of clove.' Within three minutes he was dead. The doctor told me that he afterward experimented with cats and dogs and found that the drug caused a quick and painless death. He said that he administered a very large chunk of it to a duck and afterward cut it up to see the effect on the organs. He threw the pieces in the alley and the next morning found several dead dogs and cats in the immediate neigh borhood. He was positive that their death was due to eating the poisoned duck. I haven't any intention of com mitting suicide, but if the notion should strike me, I believe I would get my ticket over the potassium cyanide route." "There used to be great times In cen tral and eastern Kansas during the epi demic of railroad building," said a man from southern Kansas, "and we would have about as much excitement over voting bonds as the western counties did over the county seat troubles. Every town in those days was to be a future railroad center and the inhabitants would go to bed at night with visions of car shops and imaginary trains float ing through their brains. Whenever it was rumored that a railroad was to be built, every town on the supposed route would hold mass meetings and appoint committees to call on the officials to see if they could not get their assurance that the road would come through that town and put up division shops. There is not a town in central Kansas today that has not at some time fought to se cure some road that never came. Others refused to vote the bonds the roads de manded and the roads built around them. There are dead towns all over Kansas that killed themselves by re fusing to vote bonds and there are oth ers notably Lawrence that committed suicide by voting too many bonds. I was driving in Cowley county at the time the D. M. A. was built in that county. The road came in from the east and was supposed, at that time, to be building to Denver from Nevada, Mo., by way of Coffeyville. Of course Ar kansas City and Winfleld began to lay their plans to capture the road, each wanting to be on the main line of the great trans-continental road to be. The Arkansas City fellows got the lead and the question of voting bonds for the road through the southern tier of town ships came up. If the bonds carried Winfleld would not get the road, so that town started in to make a fight to defeat the bonds, thinking that if they were successful in so doing that they would get a chance to vote bonds for the road to come their way. Bill Hack ney, who was the 'Whole Thing' in Win fleld In those days, led the fight for that town. He went down In the southern townships when the bond question was np and worked night and day, but when the vote was counted it was found that the bonds had carried. Hackney swore that the reason he was unable to defeat the bonds was because he wore a night shirt while out campaigning and the other fellows had got onto the fact and used it against him. He said that he had heard they were telling it among the farmers and had taken the shirt out and buried it, but that his informa tion came too late. Winfleld afterward got the main line and Arkansas City a branch of the road, so the fight turned out all right for both parties," "I don't believe that many of the stories told of the Inhabitants of Arkan sas are very much exaggerated," said a gentleman who had recently visited the country around Yellville. "I have paid several visits to that state and, out side of the large towns, I found that the peo ple were ignorant to a degree unequalled by the people of any other state I have visited. The first visit I made there was for the purpose of looking up some land that had been mortgaged. The mort gage. was held by eastern people and the firm by which I was employed handled their business. There were several mat ters to look up and all of them were in the western part of the state. I went to Fort Smith and from there was obliged to drive to my destination or wait for a boat to go down the river and run my chances of getting a rig at some of the little river towns. I decided on driving from Fort Smith and secured the ser vices of a bright young man as driver. I had the exact location of the land I wanted to see; that is, I had It in coun ty, township, range and section and did not apprehend any difficulty in finding it. We were out two days and got tangled as to our whereabouts before we got near the land. The country was thinly settled and it was a more difficult matter than I thought it would be, but finally, by inquiries at every cabin, I was satisfied that I was near the place. We saw a house that I thought might possibly be the place and drove there. A lean, yellow man came to the fence and said: 'Howdy, strangers, won't you light?' I told him I was looking for a man named John Wilkerson who lived somewhere in the neighborhood and asked him if he could tell me where his place was. 'Reckon I dunno no man of that name in these parts, stranger; reckon he don't live nigh about hyar,' he answered. I told him that I was certain he lived in this township and had lived here for some time. 'Reckon not, stranger, I know all the folks in this county 'cepting the newcomers,' he re plied. I repeated the name and told him that the man had lived there a long time, but he insisted that he knew everybody and their grandparents, al ways excepting newcomers. Finally hf said: "How long did you say that man lived here?' Well, I answered, be ha? lived here for twenty years at least, and maybe longer. 'Oh, I' lowed he must bt a newcomer. I ain't kept no track of these fellers thet's come In since th war," he said with a contemptuous air That was all I could get out of him and he was like nine out of ten men of whom L.I inquired the way."

Topeka's experience with smallpox last winter ia not to be allowed repetition, if precaution can prevent it The board of health, in session Wednesday evening, discussed the possibility of a new out break of the disease this fall, and de cided upon taking immediate steps to enforce the existing health ordinances and, if possible, avert an. epidemic. City ordinance No. 1627 gives a rigid course of procedure to be followed in the case of Infectious diseases. Much of the trouble last winter resulted from the lack of its enforcement. In the way ot vaccinations, especially, was there great laxity. If parents objected to having their children vaccinated, their objec tions prevailed. Parental objection will not avail this year, the board of health decides. The board intends that every letter of the sections referring to vaccination be com plied with. Sections 10 and 11 of or dinance 1627 read: "It shall be the duty of all persons residing in the citv of Toneka. who have not already been effectively vaccinatetr for smallpox to be so effectively vacci nated, and it shall be the duty of all parents ot other persons in charge of children over three years of ag to have them effectively vaccinated. It shall be the duty of the board of health to make such rules governing such vaccination as may be necessary, subject to the ap proval of mayor and council, and it shall be the duty of the city physician to vaccinate, at the expense of the city, all persona who are unable to pay for the same, and in addition euch persons as may be designated by the mayor and council, at a cost of not more than 25 cents for such persons vaccinated. "Any person who shall violate any of the provisions of this ordinance shall be guilty of a public offense against the ordinances of the city of Topeka, and upon conviction thereof before the police judge of the city of Topeka, shall be fined not less than five dollars nor more than fifty dollars." The board is having 7,000 blanks pre pared for distribution among the school children, requiring an immediate report, stating whether or not each pupil has been effectually vaccinated. It Is be lieved there are a large number in school that have never been vaccinated owing to parental objections or something else. The board is now determined that the law be complied with and they be vac cinated, or measures will be taken to close the school doors on those who have not been treated with the virus. These blanks are to be distributed to morrow if possible; if not, early next City Physician H. B. Hogeboom Is also preparing to send out a circular to the physicians of Topeka calling atten tion to the provisions of the city ordi nance requiring quarantine, requiring that due, accurate and conscientious re port of every infectious disease be made. "Cuban chiekenpox" is to be barred, the city physician states, although every reputable practitioner's report Is to be given full credence and repute. Every casa is to be known for what lt is and isolated as such. Where there is suspicion of infection, the doubt is to be settled by the city physician, as city ordinance provides, or by a board called into consultation by him for a final determination.

Regarding the offer of a Netherlands warship to convey Mr. Kruger from Lorenzo Marques to Europe, Dr. De Beaufort said the Netherlands govern ment made the proposition when it learned Mr. Kruger desired to visit Eur ope for the benefit of his health. Sim ultaneously with making the offer, Dr. De Beaufort continued, the government of the eNtherland informed Great Brit ain of the action taken and the latter in thanking the eNtherlands for the in formation declared the British govern ment had no intention to Interfere with Mr. Kruger'a projected journey.

FOR DEPARTMENT STORES Frankfort, Germany, Offers a field Tor American Enterprise, New York, Sept. 20. A special to the Herald from Washington says: Vice Consul General Hanauer, in an official report to the state department from Frankfort, Germany, advocates the establishment of American department stores abroad as a means of increasing the export trade of this country. "In Germany and most other conti nental countries," the vice consul says, "there are large retail warehouses and stores which sell different lines of dry goods and clothing for female wear. Department stores on the order of our own, containing almost everything for human needs, are hardly known here. Conseqeuntly one finds in a European city hundreds of retail stores, carrying small stocks and selling articles at high prices. "I think department stores would find conditions more favorable here than at home in amount of sales and return on the capital invested, but the importance of the plan consists in the immense im petus they would give to the sale of American specialties household arti cles of all kinds, clothing, kitchen and iron ware, small machines, tools and in struments, toys, carriages and vehicles, office and dwelling furniture, fruits and. meat, etc. "I am confident that such a concern established in Frankfort could within a few years sell American specialties alone to an amount of $3,000,000 to $4,000,000 annually and distribute further quanti ties by giving agencies to leading dealers of interior towns and cities. In shoes alone it could transact a large trade. Our manufacturers nee then but offer their products to the home purchasing office in order to do a foreign trade." HANGED HIMSELF. A One-Armed Old Soldier Tires of JLife. An old soldier named Scott, living at 1926 Lincoln street, committed suicide today. His body was found hanging in his barn this afternoon about three o'clock. Despondency and lack of employment is supposed to be the cause of his act. He lived with his family and was a pen sioner. He lost an arm in the civil war. POLICE COURT APPEALS.

MUNICIPAL JOBBERY Can Only Be E'reyented by Pub lic Ownership of Utilities, Says Dr. Gladden. Milwaukee, Wis., Sept. 20. At today's session of the National Municipal league convention the report of the executive committee of three slight amendments to the by-laws, the principal one relating to the constitution .nd providing for the election by the board of delegates of eleven or more members of the executive committee, insteai of eleven only, was adopted. Charles Richardson, of Philadelphia, vice president of the National Municipal league was the speaker on today's pro gramme. He read a paper on "Does the Model Charter Confer Dangerous Powers on the Mayor?" The feature of the afternoon session was a paper on "The Influence of Public Serv ice Companies on City Government." by Rev. Dr. Washington Gladden, of Colum bus, Ohio, who is a member of the Columbus city council. In the course of his remarks he said: "Some of the relations of public service companies to city governments are open an lawful, but it is generally believed that relations of a subterranean and ille gitimate character are often maintained between representatives of the city and representatives of these companies by which the public is plundered. Such illicit relations do not always involve the pay ment of money by the corporations to the municipal officers; the money is often paid to those who control the councilmen, and other methods of influence are em ployed. The election expenses of candi dates are often paid. Along with these secret methods there is much direct bribery: many who occupy high positions in society are connected more or less closely with this nefarious business. "The greatest danger to American In stitutions arises from the relation of pub lic service corporations to city govern ments. What is the remedy? Something might be done by stringent state legisla tion. The state ought to enforce complete publicity in the accounts of all these com panies: to limit the capitalization to the cost of the plant; and to require fran chises to be submitted to popular vote. But hese measures wif; not probably be found effectual. Nothing is likely to reach the case except public ownership of mu nicipal monopolies. "We may reason as we will about the inexpediency of such ownership; the fund amental fact is that lt Is required by the elementary principles of democratic gov ernment. These public service corpora tion are monopolies they all come to that sooner or later and a democratic people cannot permit the existence of private monopoly; for the essence of monopoly is taxation without representation. It is the constant and flagrant violation of this primary principle of free government which has produced the conditions now prevailing. "What are the reasons urged against public ownership? They all reduce to this: It is difficult, and perhaps danger ous. So it is, but if it is our business we had better do it, and not shir it nor any part of it. Public ownership is no pan acea; it will leave us battles to fight and obstacles to overcome; but the line of least resistance to righteous rule lies through the resumption by the people of those functions of sovereignty which they have surrendered to private corporations. The pressure of the traders and the con tractors upon the officials would, in the words of Albert Shaw, be 'incomparably less than that which Is now brought to bear by the corporations." We have now in all our cities millions of money in the hands of prominent and influential men who are financially interested in main taining weak or bad government, because they could not obtain from intelligent and honest government the kind of franchises they want. That condition is abnormal, and the only deliverance from it is through the municipal ownership of pub lic service monopolies." These officers were elected: President James C. Carter. New Tork. First Vice President Charles Richard son. Philadelphia. Second Vice President Samuel B. Capen, Boston. Third Vice President Thomas M. Strong, Portland, Ore. Secretary Clinton Rogers Woodruff, Philadelphia. Treasurer George Burnham, jr., Phili- delphia. Charles J. Bonaparte, of Baltimore, was elected chairman of the executive com mittee.

The people of Topeka must make the opening of the great Auditorium next week a successful affair in every way. The entertainment provided is a superb one. The expenses will probably exceed $3,000. The chairs cost $4,000. The seating capacity of the hall is 4,000. It is readily seen that to accomplish the objects in view give a series of brilliant attractions during the opening week and pay for the chairs practically every seat for the entire course will have to be sold. A large number of tickets have al ready been bought, but the financial suc cess of the opening is by no means yet assured. Those who visit Topeka next week should see no vacant chairs in the greatest audience room In the state. Aside from the reservations for out of town people, Topekans must secure a large number of additional seats, yet unsold. The sales tomorrow and Saturday ought to settle the matter. Tickets and chart at Stansfleld's drug store, 632 Kan sas avenue. The list of splendid attrac tions is published on the fifth page of this paper. DALZELL'S IDEA. Feels Sure That Cuban Problem Will Be Wisely Settled Some Day. New Tork, Sept. 20. Congressman John Dalzell, of Pennsylvania, is in the city. His attention being called to the state ments of Cubans elected Tuesday as members of the constitutional convention, that the convention would adopt and fol low an independent policy throughout, and would not be influenced by any rep resentative of the United States, he said: "The resolution of intervention provide i that Cuba should have an independent and stable government. The promise of inde pendence was Indefinite as to time. Triers was nothing in the resolution which wouii confine the Cubans to the establishment of anv particular form of government, but they must form a government which will give every assurance of stability. As to just how the United Statea government will act in working out Cuban independ ence in accordance with the promise given it is impossible to say. The problem is a new one to us. and each phase of it will have to be met as it comes up. Thus far no mistakes have been made, and 1 think the Republican party can be trusted ta work out the problem successfully and honorably. LOCAL MENTION. E. T.

Charles Heitman, proprietor of the Heitman House at the corner of First and Adams streets, had a fight with hi3 two sons, Louis and John, Wednesday afternoon with the result that Louis received a severe cut in the left arm and Harry Hart, an innocent person, got a bullet wound in the left leg. It appears that Mr. Heitman is in the habit of running things with a high hand when he takes the notion and yes terday the notion seemed to strike him. The boys undertook to make their father behave himself and he objected to their interference, using as an argument a razor with which he cut Louis. The boy drew a revolver to protect himself and fired three times at his father, none of which struck him. One of the flying bullets struck Hart, who was unloading some goods from his wagon half a block away, and passed through his leg, caus ing a very painful, but mot a serious wound. He was taken to his home at 1301 North Van Buren street where hia wound was dressed and it was found that the ball had passed between the bones without injuring them. umcer Frank Hendricks, who lives near the Heitman place, heard the shots ana at once went to the house and ar rested all the fighters. Heitman gave a cash security bond of $100 and the boys were released on bond furnished by their mother, Mrs. Kate Heitman. Their trial, which was to have been held in the no- lice court this morning, was postponed until tms afternoon. This morning Hart swore out a war rant for the arrest of Louis Heitman charging him with assault with intent to kill. The case will come up in the city court September 27. He was released on $500 bond signed by his mother. Heitman was on the warpath again this morning and two policemen were sent to the house to quiet him. Every thing was peaceful when they arrived and Heitman promised to refrain from creating any further trouble. Mrs. Heit man told the officers this morning that she would at once apply for a divorce and an order restraining her husband from coming about the place and bother ing her and the boys. TAKE MANSPEAKElt HOUSE Elmwood Club Considers Moving to New Location. A meeting of the stockholders of the Elmwood club was held at the club rooms at Eleventh and Harrison streets Wednesday evening where plans for the future of the club were discussed. Nothing definite was settled upon. The Manspeaker home, at the corner of Tenth and Harrison streets has been offered to the club, and a new heating plant and a bowling alley will be placed in the building provided it is taken. A committee will make a canvass of the city today and tomorrow to secure the names of those who will become members of the club provided it takes the Manspeaker home when the improve ments are made. This committee will report at a meet ing of the club which will be held to morrow evening. If the committee se cures enough names to Justify the club in continuing in the new location ar rangements for an early removal will be made. However, if this plan does not meet with success the club will disband for the winter. CAN'T CORNER SEA FOOD. A Fulton Market Man Explains "Why There Can Be No Combine. New Tork, Sept. 20. Eugene S. Black ford, of Fulton market, interviewed con cerning the report from Minneapolis to the effect that an organization has been formed to control sea food, said among other things: "I don't think it possible, however, to control the market for sea food in gen eral, because it is too large. No single organization could ever hope to control the entire output of the whole seaboard of the United States. If this sea food company had limited itself to one or two kinds of fish its enterprise might not seem so impractical, because it is fre quently possible to control the catch of a single kind of fish. This has largely been done in the case of halibut, for ex ample. "The great difficulty that this com pany will have to contend with is the .extent of the field it has apparently pro posed to cover. The fish trade is differ ent from other trades, in that its stock is so extremely perishable. Fish cannot be 'cornered.' You cannot put fish cn your shelf and wait until people are willing to pay your price, but you must sell and sell at once.

6 TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL,, THURSDAY EVENING. SEPTEMBER 20, 1000 CAUGHT NAPPING. Utah Republican Officials Trick ed by Democrats. Judge 0. W. Towers of Salt Lake Appointed U. S. Senator. GOVERNOR WAS AWAY Campaigning With Col.. Boose Telt in Idaho. President of Utah Senate Im proved His Opportunity. Chicago, Sept. 20. A special to the Tribune from Salt Lake, Utah, says: While Governor Wells and Secretary of State Hammond were In Idaho last night to meet Governor Roosevelt and escort him to this city. Judge O. Wr. Powers of Ka!t Lake, a Democrat, was appointed United States senator. The appointment was made by Aquila Nebeker, president of the senate, who Is acting governor, nniinir tn the constitution. It was signed a little while before midnight, at which time the train bearing Governor Wells was expected to cross the line Into Vtah. The last legislature was Democratic, although the state officers are Republi cans. There was a bitter fight for the eenatorship between A. W. McCune of Salt Lake and Congressman W. H. King. An adjournment was taken, without breaking the deadlock. The seat has remained vacant. The Democrats discovered last night tht-y had the acting governor. Mr. Nebeker consulted a lawyer and was told he had power to make the appoint ment. He accordingly did so. The state seal was locked up and could not be ob tained, but Mr. Nebekefs legal advisors maintain. his action was valid anyway." The appointment was drawn carefully in legal form, signed and witnessed. A formal acceptance will be filed with the secretary of state. CHANGEDGUBEHNATORIAIlSTAFF Salt Lake, Utah, Sept. 20. Utah Re publican officials and politicians had a scare when they found this morning that Governor Wells and Secretary of State Hammond had left the state ad ministration in the hands of a Demo cratic acting governor, by leaving the state to meet Governor Roosevelt at Pocatello, Idaho. Under the statutes, Aquila Nebeker, president of the senate, is acting governor. When Nebeker dis covered late last night that Wells and Hammond were both out of the state, he appointed Judge O. W. Powers, U. S. senator to fill the vacancy occasioned by failure to elect a senator at the last session of the legislature. Then he pro ceeded to announce changes in the gubernatorial staff and wake up official dom generally. Mr. Nebeker is a prom inent cattle man with the cowboy'B fond ness for a joke and does not view his own meteoric career as governor very seriously, but his political opponents were seriously ala'rmed until they learn ed that his term will end shortly after noon today, when Governor Wells will reach Utah soil again. It was thought possible Acting Gov ernor Nebeker might call a special ses sion of the legislature to fSJl the sen atorial vacancy, but he says he will not go that far.

RooseTelt Adrlses Dealing Gently With the Trusts. Pocatello, Idaho, Sept 20. The Roose velt special train arrived at Pocatello a few minutes after 4 o'clock last evening. During the day stops were made at Rex- burg, St. Anthony, Idaho Falls and Black- foot. Short speeches were made by Gov ernor Roosevelt, by General Curtis Guild, Jr., by John Proctor Clark, and others. Senator Shoup and Senator Carter accom panied the party through the day. At Rexburg Governor Roosevelt was Intro duced by Ben E. Rich, a wealthy and in fluential Mormon, who has charge of the missionary work of the Mormon church In eleven states of the south. Most of the people of this place belong to the Mormon church. Governor Roosevelt In his speech said: "Imperialism you hear talked of. What does it mean? It means nothing. There is not an imperialist in the country that I have yet met. Expansion, yes; playing the part of a great nation.. Why am I speaking to you? Because you and your luiT-iauitTa expanaea into mis country; because you moved in here In your white topped wagons, and came across the plains, and over the mountains of Utah, to become miners and ranchmen, and when you got here you began to irrigate the soil. And that is one of the prob lems of the nation, and the nation has got to help solve it. Your forefathers came here to make the wilderness blossom like the rose, and as I came along this morning I saw the rising sun throw its light, not aicalnst the sage brush, but against the green alfalfa fields that have been irrigated, and I saw the houses you have built here, because you have ex panded. "Expansion has been the law of our na tional growth. It is a great thing to have material prosperity. It is a great thing to be able to establish factorv and farm. It is a greater thing to be able to point to men of the nation who do the deeds of the nation. What is it that we look back to with the greatest pride? It is the mighty deeds done by men of American name. It is the fact that the wilderness hre has been conquered by you men of the west. It is the way our people have moved forward and suffered death, en during risks and hardships because they Were mighty men of the people who have inherited the earth. To each generation is alloted its task. No generation is with out its duty to perform, and if they flinch and turn their backs on their tasks, what shall we say of them? Now is this giant of the west, those who have conquered the frontier, to sit down idly now with folded hands and say: 'Our fathers worked, we rest: our fathers toiled, en dured and dared, and we stay at home to avoid trouble: our fathers conquered the west, but we are a feeble folk, and we cannot hold the Philippines. Are we to sit down and do that? Base is the coun sel and base will be our people if they take that counsel. We must ero and nlav the part among the nations of the world." At tot. Anthony the governor was driven to the opera house, where he said In part: "A great nation must do its work. When It stops doing its work it is because it has stopped doing things that make it a great nation. We have got to stand in the forefront of the nations of the earth at all times. Tou have come so far across the continent that you look towards the west: that you look toward rugei oouna ana tne moutn or the Columbia and where the Golden Gate looks through the lonir heavine- waters across the greatest of all oceans. There across the great ocean lies the chance for us to double, treble, and ausdrnnie our wealth and our power and our na tional renown. We have taken Hawaii: we have taken the Philippines. It is not now a question of expanding, but it is a question of whether we are going to contract." At Idaho Kalis the train marie a ctinrr stop during which Governor Roosevelt spoke in part as follows: "Tou should turn and laugh to scorn the politician who tries to mkA vn turn your backs on the duties of an American citizen Dy tne cry or militarism. I have yet to meet in this countrv the first Im perialist. I never read of one except in romocratic platforms. I have not found him yet. I'll tell you what I have found, and what I believe in that is the expan sionist: the man who believes In thn growth of America: the man who believes mat ims nation is to plav in the future an even greater part than it has played in the past, and that it will nlav that rart well. Expansion! That Is the reason why you are here. It is because you have ex panded over this country. But wherever this nation has expanded there have been people who wanted to head back. There have been people who have been speaking against it, and as great a statesman as uaniei w eDster some nrty years ago de clared that it was useless to nurrhase this northwestern territory, where you now are a great state, because it was not worth a county in Maine. That useless wilderness as it was called then has now become a part of one of the great states of the American union." At Blackfoot Governor Roosevelt made a speech in the court house snnaT in which he said: Some seventeen or eighteen years ago I was here. I lived in parts of the west where it was sr;idLllinir roueh nnrl where a man would occasionally escape a licking ne ntceyieu a KicKing. i-ie could get peace on those terms, but it was not a permanent peace: because when It was discovered that he took a kicking liv other people took a part in the exercise. Now if we had let the southern states go. we would have hart war after war, and we would have trodden a bloody path ii cuiiseouence. exactly as tne genera tion of the past did its great work well. so we have got to do our lesser work well. When the men of our nation ftpnsp to give to our enemies aid and comfort, peace wli! come in the Philippines. It is a great thing that the law of progress doej obtain. For the last fortv years this country has gone steadily forward, and through the most of that time the Iemocratic party has been just as stead ily pulling backwards. By the slow pro cession of the generations it has been dagged forward. Drotestin mnrh ns it goes on. It is a great thing to point to the wheat fields and the ranches and the flocks and herds and the factories and the railroads that are in this country. It is nothing by itself. It sinks into unimport ance when compared with the fact that we can point, not merely to the country itself as it is, but to the men who made me country, it is a heritage of great deeds: a heritage of mighty work well performed: a heritage of lofty ideals that find realization not only in words but In action. It is that that makes the coun try great. Sixty years atro one of th great statesmen of the east wanted to give up and not to contend for this land, arguing that it was fit onlv for cactus and jackrabbits. and we did not want it In the union. We have always had men of small BOLrts and men who were short sighted, and who did not see clearly. They have been azainst us at everv ta of national expansion. The expansion of our country is the law of its growth. It has grown not merely bv the material upraising of the country, but by the build ing up of a great nation which each one of its citizens is proud to belong to." Governor Roosevelt addressed two meet ings at Pocatello one at Pavilion hall, and the other at Lewis hall. Both were largely attended. The first speech was made at Pavilion hall, which was a small place, no more than a thousand people being able to get in. Lewis hall was still smaller. Senator Carter also spoke at both places. At Pavilion hall Governor Roosevelt said in part: "I have been traveling all day along the eastern border of your great state. I have been seeing what you have done in turning the wilderness into fruitful fields. I have seen the-gray-sage brush plains, and the fields covered with the yellow stubble of harvest crops, and with grow ing alfalfa. I cannot Bay what pleasure it has been to me to be here on this ground, touching elbows with you men of the west, whom I came to knew well some years ago when I myself lived up in the cattle country of Montana. In speaking to you this evening I want to talk especially from the standard of the wageworker, and on the question of trusts Four years ago, I am informed, that the amount of wages paid the wage workers here was much less than -they are receiving now. I learn that you had some 600 men employed four years ago, whereas you have 800 employed now, in the shops here. Four years ago, the av erage wages of these men was $60 a month, whereas thev now get an av erage of $--5 a month. In 1896, many me chanics had to be set at a lower grade of work or do nothing, whereas new men are employed at the highest kind of work ai tne wages j. nave named. lour engi neers four years ago received an average of $80 a month, and now from J16Q to i20 a month: firemen four years ago did not Beu uui nout ov a month on an average, whereas now they get from 90 to J150 a month. Conductors were receiving in the neighborhood of $90 a month, and now they get about J170 a month. The wages of baggagemen have gone from 40 to ISO a month then to $100 a month now. "If I am in error about the figures you can iwis laem up easily. .But substan tially what I have told you is the fact. We hfii seen in four years what has been the increase In wage earning. AH I ask is that in Vour ?ffrrfr tr, out In wn the trusts you do not also cut down the wageworKer. lou should not vote so as to bring ruin upon the wageworkers' wives and children, for when hard times come, when disaster and panic are abroad in the land and times are hard, it may be hard for the men. but it is harder still for the women and children; It is harder ior tnose dependent upon him. Do not vote to injure yourselves in your endeavor to get at the men you would like to get at; for I think we can get at them if we go honestly, rationally and quietly about it. The man of the trust will be hurt a great deal less than you by any great commercial disaster. The speculator can do more to protect himself than you can, though it may hurt him. He may be badly off. but he will not be as badlv off ia 1 i ,"!..,-j i i 1 ft ,1 i rget at the trusts. It is not easy to point out now it can De done, out it is very easy to point out some way in which it cannot be done. The worst of these ways is to go into hysterics. Nobody ever gained anything by going into hysterics yet, and it is bad for the person indulg ing in them. Some times we have legisla tion that verges on the hysterical. Just think of the amendments to the anti trust laws that -have been passed during the past six or eight years, and think how little most of them amount to. Com pare the accomplishment with the prom ises on the part of the people who- prom ised the most. Mr. Bryan said four years ago, again and again, that unless you elected hira you would have harder times than ever. Now I ask. What has been your experience? I ask you if wool did not sell at about 8 cents five or six years ago, and whether it does not sell for about double that now. You may remem ber the story of the farmer who voted for free wool eight years ago, who said he had come within 6 cents of getting it. Compare the prices you got four years ago with those you get now; compare the earnings of the wageworker now with what he got then, and see what It is for your interest to do now." SANTA FE TO OPEN. Will Be Ready For Galreston Business Friday. Houston, Tex., Sept.20. The following telegram has been sent out by P. H. Goodwin, general freight agent of the Gulf, Colorado Santa Fe: "I am issuing instructions to all our agents that the Santa Fe will be open for Galveston business on the 21st, at which time our bridge over the bay will be completed."

Gavitt, formerly of Topeka. died at her home in Newton Wednesday. rne funeral services will be held in Newton Friday, after which the body will be brought to Topeka for burial. The body will be taken direct to the cemetery from the Santa Fe depot at 4:35. Mrs. Gavitt -was formerly Miss Ruth E. Hopkin3 and was born at Whitelake, Mich., June 30, 1863. With her mother she came to Topeka in 18S4, and was later married to Mr. J E. Gavitt on Jan uary 6, 1886. Her husband and one child survive her. In 1890 they located In Newton, where Mr. Gavitt was appointed foreman of the Santa Fe shops. Mrs. Blossom Harding Welsh died at the Sister's .hospital in St. Joseph Wednesday morning.

Northern Pacific Earnings on "West Coast Better Than East End. New Tork, Sept. 20. At a meeting of the board of the directors of the North ern Pacific the annual report has been approved and will probably be given out tomorrow, says the Times. The traffic agreement between the Northern Pacific and the Chicago, Milwaukee St. Paul for use by the latter between St. Paul and Duluth was approved, and it now only lacks the approval of the Mil waukee's board of directors. President Mellen, after the meeting. In speaking of the business conditions in the west said that Washington, Idaho and Oregon were exceedingly prosperous, and that It was entirely due to the earn ings of the western part of the road that the general showing was so good, as the western division's surplus overbalanced the deficiency in the eastern part. On the eastern division the traffic was 250 cars per day less than last year, due to the failure of the crops. The addi tion of the St. Paul and Duluth's earn ings should make an increase of about $5,000 per day. If earnings for the next few months showed an average increase of less than this amount, it would have to be assigned to the failure of the east ern division of the Northern Pacific to keep up its earnings. Cold Weather Disappears. The forecasters have gotten back to the old way of announcing "fair tonight and Friday." The cool wave seems to be disappearing and the genuine article in the way of Kansas fall weather has arrived along with the pawpaws.

It Is possible that President McKinley may make several speeches in the west before the close of the campaign. To Induce him to Is one of the objects of a visit which Senator Hanna will make to Canton, the home of the president, next Sunday. Presi dent McKinley, who is now at the capi tal, will be in Canton at that time. "The subject has not been discussed extensively," said Chairman Payne, at the Republican headquarters today, "but that it would be a wise thing for Mr. McKinley to do is beyond question." Senator Hanna made no public utter ance regarding his intention to bring the president to Chicago. He was occupied today receiving callers who are pressing upon him in anticipation of his depar ture for the east. Numerous efforts were made to have him promise to make campaign speech es but he declined, to consider further invitations until his return from New York. Senator Hanna will tonight make an address at the Marquette club ban quet and later will speak at the Ger man Republican meeting. General O. O. Howard called at Re publican headquarters today. He has just returned from West Virginia where he has been making campaign speeches. "I am satisfied," said he, "that West Virginia will go Republican by a grati fying majority." The general will go to' Nebraska' tonight to begin a two weeks' speaking tour. Willis George Emerson, first assistant chairman of the speakers' bureau said today that it is possible Former Presi dent Harrison will consent to take the stump for McKinley and Roosevelt. "There is nothing definite as yet," said Mr. Emerson, "but we are in correspon dence with General Harrison and are hopeful of success." Chairman Johnson of the Democratic committee smiled today while discussing a story that Richard Croker had pledged $100,000 to the national campaign fund. "So far as I know there is nothing in all this talk," he said. Senator J. K. Jones will arrive from New Tork this evening. CARROLL FOR SENATOR. Hessin-McKnight Squabble May Be Settled by Choice of New Han. Alma, Kan., Sept. 20. The Republican county central committee met at 2 p. m. to consider the state senatorial situa tion. The senatorial convention is to be held at Alma September 25. The com mittee was unanimously of the opinion that there would not be sufficient time to hold a primary election, so decided to select seven delegates by the committee. Cary Carroll, the present county attor ney of Wabaunsee county, was consult ed as to the selection of the delegates, it being generally understood that in the interest of harmony Riley and Geary counties might decide to nominate Mr. Carroll or some other man. Riley has had the senator for four years and a great state institution for many more, and feels very friendly toward Wa baunsee county; arid Geary county has the secretary of state and nineteen sttae appointments at the present time, so the Wabaunsee Republicans hope the Re publicans of that county will be generous enough to assist them in ecuring a crumb in the way of state senator.

WHEAT An advance of d at Liverpool was not considered re sponsive to the lc bulge here yesterday, and in consequence there was considerable long sturt thrown on the wheat market during the first part of today's session.

The liquidation began at the opening and kept up throughout the entire session, wheat being disposed of by large local longs. Early cables were firm, but later reports from Liverpool showed but 4d advance for the day in face of our lc advance yesieraay. rne weatner up north was rainy, but predictions were for fair weath er in near future. Sales of flour were re ported large. Exporters claimed good bids from abroad, but their sales today were Small. The mireine that the Tnnrltet has had today should be an inducement for oeuevers in tnis wneat to take hold. Tnere was some little wheat picked up towards close by Investors and early sellers. CORN Corn ruled dull and shade lower. Speculatively it showed strength com pared with wheat. Seaboard was best buyer and largely of deferred futures, as has been the case for several davs. The Price Current reported crop maturing eariy, wun ieeaing aemana excellent. Local receipts showed better grading. We feel friendly to new crop futures at pres ent discounts. OATS Oats continue dull but the mar ket is firm considering the surrounding weakness. Elevator people interests were tne principal Duyers; they tooa about all offerings. Receipts, 236 cars, of which 26 were contract; estimated for tomorrow, 300 cars. PROVISIONS All products were active and some higher. There was a brisk de mand for both October and January lard, the heaviest purchases being made by Steever, who- took 8.000 to 10.000 tierces. Packers reported a good cash demand for lard, which helped strengthen lutures and advanced them 7 to 12c. Shipments continue heavy.

This firm has a membership on the Chicago Board of Trade and regular board of trade wire. New York. Sept. 20. It was common talk at the uptown resorts last night that the late bull leader, Wormser, had aban doned his campaign for higher prices and now arrayed on the bear side. Report has it that he became disgusted with the ac tion of the market and the fault of the public to take his lead. Quiet liquidation has been going on all the week, but yes terday was its source revealed. It de veloped that Wormser was a free seller through different brokers, and it is be lieved that he is now putting out short lines of the very stocks he has been bull ing for weeks. It is hard to believe that so persistent a bull should desert the cause for which he has been fighting Single-handed for so long, but the action of the market plainly indicates that im portant part has been withdrawn. It Is becoming more and more evident with every session that the uncertain ties of the situation and the labor troubles that the money market and our foreign affairs are too great to encourage public buying of securities at the present time. Pools in the different stocks are lighten ing their loads whenever the opportunity offers, while timid holders are gradually getting rid of their lines. It is to be re gretted that the efforts of politicians to create a scare are beginning to bear fruit. While there are very few people in Wall street who believe that Bryan stands any show of election, the possibility of such an event is causing a great deal of worry and predictions of a big smash In specu lative securities are being made with a recklessness that Is far from commend- 1 able. That is what keeps the speculative public out of the market. Nothing but a miracle can advance prices in the face of gloomy talk one hears around the stock exchange. A financial authority says: It can pos itively be stated that there will be no tightening of rates as are seen in the flotation of the recent foreign loans, but the outflow of currency to the interior for crop moving purposes will make higher rates for call money within the next three weeks." Tammany Is raiding B. R. T. again, and It is through the medium of which it is expected an ordinance will be favorably acted upon by the board of aldermen to compel the company to place its wires under ground. The passing of such an or dinance would mean enormous expendi tures and perhaps considerable litigation. The coal stocks are beginning to feel the effects of the strike. All show a de clining tendency, and if It were not for manipulation they would suffer severely. The strike is assuming larger proportions than the mine owners anticipated, and it is feared that the struggle will be a long one. The losses incurred by the suspen sion of mining will make a big hole in the earnings of the coal roads and cause a material shrinkage in the values of these securities. They are simply following the rest of the market. Any one who feels like putting up good stiff margins should not hestitate to buy them on this slump. Keep out of the Industrials. The banks are discriminating against them, and hold ers axe disposing o them as fast as they can. R. N. HUDSON. Market Gossip. Furnished by the J. C. Going CommJi slon Co.

Carter, author of 'The Fast Mail," "Heart of Chicago" and other equally popular plays, will present his latest success, "The Eleventh Hour" at the Crawford Monday evening. "In The Eleventh Hour" Mr. Carter claims to have mingled comedy and pathos in a manner that phases the entire au dience, holding their interest through out the play. "The Eleventh Hour" will be presented with elaborate scenic ef fects, and the nicety of detail for which Mr. Carter is so Justly famous. "Midnight In Chinatown" will be the attraction at Crawford Tuesday night. The story briefly told is the effort of the villain to win the daughter of a wealthy mine owner, to whose engineer she is engaged. The villain robs the father and makes it appear me engineer is re sponsible, afterwards be endeavors to murder the engineer's friend, a tramp who stood by him in his first trouble, and believing he succeeded tries "to fix the crime on the young man, who la sent to prison. Escape from prison leads to a compli cated game of hide and seek at the masque carnival and the abduction of the heroine by the villain and her res cue from his apartment by the hero and his friend the tramp, backed up by a body of police in one of the most thrill ing climaxes seen on the stage. Many realistic features are introduced. A carnival scene, and bright vaudeville interpolations In which the famous Al bion Bros., acrobats, Newell and Niblo, musical artists, are prominent. SOME WASHINGTON CLOCKS. From the Chicago Record.! There are SCO clocks in the treasury department, and a man named Fleming is paid $45 a month for winding them and keeping them in repair. Thl3 duty is let annually to the lowest bidder, and the cost has been reduced from $75 to 4d a month by rivalry between Mr. Fleming and another clockmaker who secured the job for two or three years through political influence during the last Cleveland administration. Mr. Fleming had looked after the clocks in the treasury at a salary of ia a montn as long as anybody could remember, until be considered that privilege a vested right, and when -it was taken away from him by Secretary Carlisle he was very urleasy and nnaily underbid his rival and offered to do it for $60 a month. The contract was given him, and the next year the other man underbid him and got the Job for $o a month. Next time Fleming came in with an offer of $45 a month, which was really lower than anybody could afford to make, because It requires near ly ail his time to perform the duties, particularly as many of the clocks are getting old and constantly need repairs In the other departments the mes sengers of the different bureaus look after the clocks, except the large ones that are cornected by wire with the naval observatory and accurately mark the sun time. The clocks at the "White House are looked after by one of the local jewelry merchants, who sends a man every week to wind them and see that they are in order. It is a curious fact that only one of the twenty-five or thirty clocks In the White House is of American manu facture, and that Is a big gilt affair which stands on the mantel In the green room and was purchased while James Monroe was president. The most Interesting clock In the White House is in the blue parlor. It was made of alabaster and French gilt bronze for Napoleon Bonaparte, and was presented to General Washington by Marquis de Lafayette. It still keeps excellent time and runs for a month without winding. In Mrs. McKinley's sitting room Is a French clock which has been running without repair for over thirty-five years. It was purchased during toe Lincoln administration. We have no famous clocks in the United States like old "Tom" in the tower of the British house of parliament or that in the spire of the cathedral at Strasburg or the one in St. Petersburg, which, is the most wonderful In the world. It has ninety-five faces, and In dicates the time of day at thirty dif ferent spots on the earth's surface be sides the movements of the earth and moon, the signs of the lodiae, the loca tion of the principal planets and the dale, according to the Gregorian, Greek, Moslem and Hebrew calendars. At Moscow there is a clock made for the empress of Russia in 1.24, upon the reverse of which is a representation of the holy sepulchre. At a certain hour of the day an angel appears, rolls away the stone, an Image of the Savior steps out, and a music box plays the Easter hymns of the Russian churcn.

Wellington, Sept. 20. The principal event of the wheat carnival Wednesday was the parade and meeting of the An cient Order of Pyramids. Four councils participated in the parade, one each from Winfield, Wichita, Arkansas City and Wellington. Colonel E. C. Little was here and spoke for an hour. The big day of the week will be Wheat day, on Friday. Then will occur the ex hibit of the finest lot of wheat In the world. The exhibitors will give a parade in the forenoon with decorated wagons, and in the afternoon the awards will be made. On hard wheat the awards will be $200: $75 in gold for the best fifty bushels ex hibited in wagons on the street, $50 in gold for the second best fifty bushels. $35 for the third best. $25 for the fourth best, and $15 for the fifth best load. On soft wheat the awards will be $100, di vided as follows: $50 in gold for the best fifty bushels of soft wheat exhibit ed in wagons on the street, $30 for the second best, and $20 for .the third best load. All mills are barred fronj com peting for any of these wheat prices. In addition to the above prizes on wheat the mills of the city guarantee to pay the very top price for every load of wheat on the streets on that day that is en tered for exhibition. The central figure of the week is the queen of the carnival. Miss Edna Sip pey, of Belle Plaine. Miss Sippey is the handsome and accomplished daughter of Dr. Sippey, one of the best known phy sicians in the county. Polite society will distinguish Itself at the flower parade Thursday. Everything is being prepared with excellent taste and the rivalry is about as strong as that between Mrs. Van Rensselaer and Mrs. Vanderbilt for leadership of the 400 in New York. In about three generations social distinction in Wellington will be decided by referring back to the position which their various ancestors held in the flower parade in September, 1900. Fifteen prizes will be awarded, so there are sure to be fifteen first families, in Wellington from now on. The desire to make a creditable showing for the city has created intense rivalry "and there is every promise that the flower parade will be very successful. The following are the prizes: For the best decorated flower float, first prize, $20; second prize, $10: third prize, $5. For the best decorated two seated carriages, first prize, $15; second prize. $7.50; third prize. $5. For the best decorated one-seated vehicle, first prize, $12; second prize, $7; third prize. $5. For the best decorated bicycle, first prize, $3.50; second prize, $2.50; third prize, $1.50, and for the best decorated saddle horses, first prize, $3; second prize, $2; third prize, $1. TO MAKE RAILROAD MEN. Eastern Railway Association to Es tablish a School of Education. Saratoga, N. Y., Sept. 20. The eastern railway maintenance of -way associa tion, a New England organization, of which E. A. Haskell of SpringfieId,Misa, is president, is in session here. Walter G. Berg, chief engineer of the Lehigh Valley railroad, read a paper en titled: "The Education of Railroad Men For the Subordinate Ranks of the Main tenance of Way Service," in w-hich he advocated the establishment of special railroad trade schools, to be devoted to the teaching of practical railroad work, the entrance requirements of which would be limited to a general common school education. The school should consist of a regular course of one year and of an advanced course of one year, in addition to a general course. Scholars for the reguiart course would be boys direct from public school and young men who, after a few years work in a shop, store or railroad department, begin to realize that their rapid success in life may depend largely on a better general knowledge of any familiarity with one subject or some specialty. The advanced course would be open to scholars who had completed the regular course and men whose former education and subsequent railroad experience would qualify them to omit the regular course. The general course, consisting of lec tures on general railroad subjects.would be open to all comers, in order to spread a better knowledge of the gen eral conditions, laws and public policy governing railroads among the general public THREATENS HOLLAND. Little Country Must Not Harbor Kruger, Says England. New York, Sept. 20. The Standard commenting upon the statement that President Kruger has accepted an offer of the Dutch government to convey him to Europe in a warship, says the Tri bune's London correspondent, says that England has a right to expect that a country which is still diplomatically friendly shall not display officious and effusive patronage of an enemy of Ens land. By adopting that line it makes itself his partisan and renders itself li able to be called upon for explanations. Another Invasion Expected. New York. Sept. 20. The Herald's correspondent at Guayaquil reports that GeneralVelasco, of the Colombian army, and Senor Guerrero, prefect of Ipiales, Colombia, have protested In a most em phatic manner against the protocol re cently signed in Quito by the Colombian minister, Uribe, and Ecuadorian govern ment. They severely criticise Minister tribe. Another invasion is expected soon by Ecuador. It will be supported by the frontier authorities. The Ecua dorian congress is unanimous in its sup port of the government. JOHN SEALY HOSPITAL DESTROYED.

MORE JOINTISTS ARRESTED Police Continue Their Crusade Against Liquor Sellers. Xn" spite of the threats and assaults made by the jointists the city is col lecting evidence against them and Wednesday afternoon warrants were sworn out and five jointists were ar rested. Beer, whisky and a email amount of joint paraphernalia was se cured at each place. The jointists are beginning to feel the loss of beer pumps which are expensive and several of the kags captured were furnished with the old style faucent. The faucent is not so convenient for drawing beer, but it is a great deal cheaper than a pump. The jointists arrested were: H. Camp bell, Frits Durein, Homer Gragg. O. Kempton and Herbert Swartz. They all gave bonds and were released. Durein.Gragg and Kempton were found guilty and sentenced during the trials last week. The men who signed the dif ferent bonds were: C. L. Scott. Arthur Massey, M. Durein, George Burghart and V. Kaczynski. The city will proba bly secure a conviction in each case as the evidence has been secured by the city detectives. The jointists say they will win all their cases when they go before the dis trict court on the grounds that the evi dence is "spotter evidence" which has been ruled out. 35 Killed by an Explosion.

Besides its low cost it has the advantage that it is entirely satisfactory for so many varied uses; it will do the work of a half dozen kinds of soap each intended for a special purpose. IVORY SOAP IS 99 ytU PER CENT. PURE. IRON MARKETS Continue Uncertain, and Report Are Conflicting'. New Tork, Sept. 20. "The Iron mar kets," according to tlie Iron Age, "con tinue uncertain and reports are con flicting. Those who are nearest to the consumer seem to take the more favor able view of the situation. Iq the bar, Eheet and plate trades. In which by the way, prices have been low the volume of orders on the books compares very favorably with last year. In the wire trade business is heavier. Oae of the IPittsburg mills of the American com pany has been started, and there Is talk of putting other plants on double turn." The sales of American skelp to Scotch Iipe manufacturers are not regarded as prejudicial to export movement in mer chant pipe, since the material Is used for special purposes and for favorite customers. The puddling and rolling scales are etill in abeyance, so that now the works have been idle for over two months. It is amazing that the old practice of be ginning the annual discussion of the scale only a few days before the expira tion of the old agreement still continues. There is no good reason why the Amal gamated association should not take up the matter in April, as well as It does now at the end of June, so that work could be resumed promptly in a manner ratisfaetory to both parties after a sum mer shut ?own of a few weeks in July. The sensation of the week in the metal trade has been the drop in tin which has materially lowered the price. The rpelter industry seems to be reaching a Umax in the proposed control by pur chase of all the leading producers In the country, east and west. One large con cern associated with a great consuming interest will certainly stay out and pos sibly also one of the older works in the Chicago district. The options expire on October 1. FATHER OF WATERS To Be Deepened With a 22-Foot Channel in the South. Chicago, Sept. 19 The advisability of creating a twenty-two foot channel in the lower Mississippi and thus creating a waterway whose passage would be sufficiently large for ocean steamers and the corresponding relation Chicago would bear to such a plan were the principal questions discussed before the drainage board yesterday. The scheme which is fathered by United States En gineer James A. Seddon, is based upon the reservoir plan, by the construction of which, added to numerous dykes, it is said that the Mississippi floods can be done away with and in the floods suffi cient water can be stored in these reser voirs to provide an unfailing flow of water in the summer time when the river as a rule become low. The estimated cost of the improvement is as follows: Flood protection expend ed $50,000,000; completion of same, $20, 000,000; cost of annual maintenance, $2. 000,000; annual amount to be spent in dredging, $250,000; reservoir system, $32, 000.000. The rlan has been examined by a number of eminent engineers. The drainage trustees are deeply interested in the plan, aa they realize that the deep water way between the great lakes and the Gulf of Mexico will in all probabil ity never be undertaken by the federal government until some practical method BICYCLE ICE TRIP. Dawson to ffcagway, Alaska, by Bicycle. E. P. Leroy, a newspaper correspond ent, was the first one to make the trip successfully from Dawson to Skagway, 6D0 miles, over the ice, on a bicycle. He was eight days on the way and encount ered one cf the heaviest snowstorms of the season. He comments on the uni versal fact that men in the Arctic cli mate have scurvy and stomach trouble because of poorly cooked food. He says when he first went to Alaska lie had a good stomach, but it finally gave out; and one day in his search for something that a man without an ap petite could eat, he came across some packages of Grape-Nut3 food. He knew of the food and its value and was willing to pay of an ounce of gold dust ($4.00) (or one package. He says: "I can assure you the satis faction of getting something I could eat and digest without suffering was well worth the price. As soon as it had prov en to be just what I wanted, I bought the whole lot, and from that day to this, Grape-Nuts food has constituted my chief article of diet. "I find that Grape-Nuts is quickly picked up as soon as a new lot comes to camp. There is nothing known that gives the miner and frontiersman the strength, with so littie volume, aa Grape-Nuts food, and it is always ready for use, being perfectly cooked, and can be eaten dry or with a little cream, milk or water, hot or cold. Just as a man likes. I could not have taken any food that would have carried me through my long Journey on the ice so well aa Grape- REACH. has been devised to establish a deep channel in the lower Mississippi and so control the now during floods. LOOT FROM TIEN TSIN. A Large Amount Will Fall to the Government. San Francisco, Sept- 20. The revenue officers have brought, down from the Mare Island navy yard on a government tug 154 cases of rare Oriental goods which had been smuggled into this country on the hospital ship Solace. The articles seized would net a. small fortune. The duty is nearly 60 per cent of the value of the goods, and. on this account, most of the stuff, which in cludes loot from Tien Tsin, will probably be abandoned to the government. The cases of siiks and curios are addressed to persons in this country. DALY MEN BOLT. Two Democratic State Conyen tions In Montana. Helena, Mont., Sept. 20. The Democratic state convention last night was dramatic. The Daly delegates from Butte seized the seats assigned by the committee to the Clark delegation and declined to give them up till a formal motion to remove them by force was made. The majority report of the credentials committee fa voring the seating of the Clark delegation was read and 3u minutes allowed each side for argument. Finally by a vote of 253 to 91 the majority report was adopted. Then Delegate Toole led 91 dissenters from the hall and with 122 others who had previously left a Democratic conven tion was organized in Englehorn hall. The regular convention then perfected its organization, adopted a platform, ap pointed committees to confer with Pop ulist and Dabor party conventions with a view to effect fusion and adjourned un til 10 o'clock this morning, when all four conventions will be in session. The plat form adopted by the regular convention reaffirms the Kansas City platform, de clares for free silver at 16 to 1, favors pensioning veterans of all wars, de nounces trusts and particularly the Amalgamated Copper company, endorses the eight-hour law for miners and smelter men, eulogizes the record of W. A. Clark, and recommends his re-election to the federal senate. WOLCOTT DECLINES. Will Not Accept Proffered Am bassadorship to Italy. Boston, Sept 20. The Journal today announces that former Governor Roger Wolcott will not accept the post of Am bassador to Italy, tendered him by Pres ident McKinley. He has notified the state department by cable from Europe and also by letter. Curious Wedding Ceremonies. The marriage of the King of Servla to Frau Draga Maschin was celebrated according to ancient Servian customs. The quaintness of the newly made bride's entrance into her husband's house is worth noting. As the Queen descended from the carriage at the main entrance a piece of white linen, woven in the country, was spread upon the ground. This was rolled up after the bride had crossed it, in order that no other foot might tread upon it. From this linen night garments were prepared for the King and Queen. At the en trance her aunt presented a sieve of wheat corn, of which the Queen took three handfuls, threw the corn over her head, and then emptied the sieve upon the ground. On the threshold a plate of bonbons was presented to the bride. One of these she placed between her lips, while the other half was bitten off by the King. The scattered corn denotes that the bride brings joy and prosperity into her new home, and the divided bon bon that no bitterness shall divide them. The bridegroom then took into his arms a new-born boy, kissed him, and laid him in the arms of the Queen, who, after kissing him three times and rais ing him high above her head, restored him to his mother with a present of a new shirt. This child is called Nakon yese, "the most essential," the symbol ical act signifying that, for a newly married pair, ther mos, necessary thing to have in the house is a child. For this special ceremony, the minister, La zar Popovices. lent his new-born son. After all these ceremonies the Queen still stood outside, nor could she enter the konak until Bhe had placed two loaves of bread beneath her arms and taken a bottle of wine into her hands. With these emblems she crossed at length the threshold of her future home. At the first meal of the newly married p'air bread and wine must be taken by both to denote that henceforth aH they have shall be equally divided between them, and that their married life shall be passed in unity and fidelity. BRYAN'S TOUR ENDS With a Big Meeting at St. Joseph, Mo. St. Joseph, Mo., Sept. 20. The Demo crats of St. Joseph had engaged a spe cial train over the Burlington to convey William J. Bryan from this city to Lin coln after" his speech here, but when Mr. Bryan heard of the arrangement he de clined to use the train and said he pre ferred to travel on the regular train which leaves at 6:40 o'clock p. m. Mr. Bryan was greeted by 10,000 people at the baseball park upon his arrival here from Atchison. He spoke for nearly two hours and the crowd did not want him to stop then. There were three times as many peo ple at baseball park as could bear Mr. Bryan, not only were the grand stand and the bleacher seats crowded, but the body of the park was also well filled. The ladies in the grand stand waved small flags as Mr. Bryan approached. He was seated in a carriage drawn by two cream white and two coal black horses. At this point the arrangement for reaching the stand was the best yet experienced by Mr. Bryan, the way be ing cut off by a wire fence. This saved much of the usual crowding and was a great protection. Mr. Bryan was still hoarse. He said: "Why should any man who voted with us in 1S96 vote against us now? I have been over a large part of the country and I have asked the people, 'Do you find any who were with us in 1896 who are against us?" There was one excep tion; they told me that there was a young attorney who had been with us in 1196 who is against us, and I asked them what had caused it. 'Well,' they said, 'since 1896 he has become the at torney of several corporations and he is not his own master now.' In speaking of the trusts, Mr. Bryan said: "Even the newspaper editors are compelled to write their editorials de fending the trusts on paper, the- price of which has been raised by the trust. It is a pitiful thing to see an editor writing such an editorial at the same time being plundered by the trust." Mi". Bryan declared that the Republi cans were disposed to make a great deal over a rise in farm products and to give very little attention to the in crease of price in what the farmer has to buy. If wheat goes up, all attention is, he said, directed to wheat, while if wheat goes down and cattle go up.atten tion is directed to cattle and diverted from wheat. So with potatoes. If po tatoes rise, every Republican orator in the country has his pockets full of po tatoes. These orators conveniently for get that all prices are fixed by the trust and that there is an advance in the price of everything the farmer has to buy. "Every time you send a telegram now you put on a one cent stamp for the benevolent assimilation' of the Filipinos. Who pays it? The telegraph company? No, the man who sends the telegram. You go into the bank and draw a check and put on it a two cent stamp. But while every man has been compelled to pay a tax on his telegram and his bank checks, the Republican party has re duced the tax on national bank circula tion one half. This has been done while the taxes of the masses have In creased Instead of decreased." Mr. Bryan said that if God was re sponsible for our position with the.Fili pinos and commanded us to govern, the command should be evidenced either by the Bible or special dispensation. He asserted that the Bible did not justify our taking the Filipinos, and said if there was a special dispensation he would like to know to whom Herevealed His plans. A voice: "Mark Hanna.". "My friend," replied Mr. Bryan, "that is undue familiarity with a great name," and went on with his speech. "How should this nation influence the world?" asked Mr. Bryan. "What shall be the instrument by which we shall act? I have gone into communities and found men so just, so upright that peo ple brought their difficulties to them, satisfied that settlement would be a just one. and when I find in a community a man whose reputation is such that peo ple trust his justice and submit to his arbitration, I am reminded of the words of Solomon that 'a good name is rather to be desired than great riches and lov Wink Ml tiVt imtiv&'foMM Franz Adelmann, Leader of Symphony Orchestra, to be at Auditorium Next Week. Topeka music lovers will have a rare opportunity to hear fine music when the Kansas City Symphony orchestra visits this city. The orchestra will take part in three performances, on both Tuesday and Wednesday evenings and Wednesday matinee. The Kansas City Times in its last Sunday's issue had the following to say of Franz Adelmann, who will lead the orchestra: "Kansas City music lovers have many a rare treat in store for them 'for the coming season. Franz Adelmann. recognized as one of the best violinists in the country, will make this city his home. He has been secured as the leader of the new Coates house orchestra and will also be a prominent member of the Symphony orchestra. In the absence of Prof. Carl Bush, he will conduct the Symphony when it goes to Topeka to dedicate their new convention hall the latter part of this month. "Though young in years (he Is scarcely 33), Mr. Adelmann has had a most in teresting career. He was born in Hamburg. Germany, and as a boy craved a violin. His parents thought little of musicians, but at last promised him a violin as a Christmas gift. His boyish heart was almost broken when the long-looked for violin failed to make its appearance. So great was his grief that his parents were touched and purchased the violin. "He studied four weeks under a local instructor, and in that time made such progress that he was sent to a school of music at Wismar for a four years' course. Though but 17 years old. he conducted a symphony orchestra of forty pieces the last two years of his school career. After finishing school he was made concert master of an orchestra at Dartment. Germany, where he plaved one season, re signing to accept a similar position in Montreux, France. From there he went to Paris to lead an opera orchestra, and with the company failed financially "His failure was really the most sucsessful event of his life, for he returned to Hamburg and was made first violinist in the orchestra of Dr. Hans Von Bulow. Here he had such directors as Rubinste'.n, Dr. Carl Muck, Prof. Edmannsdoefer and Carl Weingartner. "Later he went to St. Petersburg, where he was known as 'the little black fiddler.' "During the World's fair he was ens-aged to conduct an orchestra in Chicago. After furnishing music for the Omaha theaters for several seasons, he went to Colorado, and -last year made a pronounced, success aa the leader of the Denver -symphony."

ing favor rather than silver and gold.' And so I believe this nation can- stand among the nations, of the world. I be-: lieve that this nation can be so upright, so Just, that other nations will look to us, not only for example, but for aid in time of trouble. Plutarch said that men entertained these sentiments concerning the gods that they feared them for their strength, admired them for their wisdom and justice." Concluding, Mr. Bryan made an appeal for a large popular majority, saying that a majority in the electoral college alone would not make the administration so strong with the people. "In 1896 the people who were called anarchists bowed to the will of the ma jority and not a complaint was heard," he said. "I wondter some times whether the great syndicates would have bowed to the will of the majority as our people did. I want you to make the majority so large this time that not a single syn dicate will dare to resist the power of the public vote." At Atchison Mr. Bryan spoke from a stand erected at the intersection of Com mercial and Sixth streets. The audience extended well up and down both streets, and the windows and doors of adjoining buildings were filled. Ex-Governor Glick presided over the meeting and introduced Mr. Bryan, who said "I notice that the Republicans try to make the paramount issue that of pros perity and as I came down the street I noticed that next to a tombstone estab lishment.very properly Republican head quarters are located. There is some times great significance in accidents; sometimes it seems as if there is a divin ity that shapes our ends and brings into close conjunction those things that naturally ought to go together." In speaking of the effects of the trusts, Mr. Bryan warned the farmers not to get caught in the barbs as the barbed wire went up under the influence of the barbed wire trust. "I know of nothing more pathetic," he said, "than to see a Republican farmer dangling in mid air from a barbed wire fence and shouting for McKinley." At this point some one in the crowd shouted for "McKinley." Mr. Bryan turned upon him and asked: "Is it the McKinley who denounced Grover Cleve land's financial policy or the one who adopted it? Is it the McKinley who said it was 'our plain duty to give free trade to Porto Rico or the McKinley who sign ed the bill taking free trade from Porto Rico? Is it the McKinley who said forci ble annexation would be criminal ag gression or is it the McKinley who now believes in forcible annexation and crim inal aggression? I am glad to have a Republican cheer for his candidate, but I think we ought to know which candi date he is endorsing." Referring to trusts, Mr. Bryan said that the letters of acceptance of both McKinley and Roosevelt had warned the people that combinations of capital should not be hurt. "They spend more time in pleading for the good trusts than in condemning the bad trusts," he said. Discussing the plea that the acquisi tion of the Philippines had divine sanc tion, Mr. Bryan said: "I have seen Re publicans going up and down the land telling what God wanted when every body who knows them, knows that God would never let them know what he was going to do for fear they would forestall the market. Who speaks with divine authority? Who is in power to reveal the authority; to reveal the will of the Almighty?" LANDED ON HER HEAD Sirs. McGuigan's Rapid Descent From the Third Story Window. New Tork, Sept.' 20. Joseph McGuigan is locked up on the accusation of killing his wife, Mary, by throwing her out of the window of their third story flat in Second avenue. Mrs. McGuigan went to a wake last night, having been told by her husband to be home early. She re turned at 2 o'clock. The McGuigans' eldest daughter, Mrs. Gormley, and an other daughter, Mary McGuigan, who were both present, tell different stories of what followed. Mrs. Gormley says that when her father reproached her mother the latter threw herself from the window, while the younger daughter says McGuigan, who had been drinking, seized her in his arms and deliberately pushed her through the window, tearing her hands from the casing to which she clung in fright. The woman's neck was broken by the falL the album was a bluff. From the Chicago Chronicle.3 An 'Augusta minister will vouch for this having occurred at a funeral a few miles out of the city not long ago. The parlor was too small to accommo date the crowd of mourners and it'was necessary to put them in two rooms. Those who were out in the -sitting room were separated from the party in the parlor, where the casket rested, by an entry way. This prevented them from hearing all that the minister had said, and after a time one of the young men tired of doing nothing, reached stealthily over the table near him to get the fam ily album, which was lying there in all the richness of blue plush and fancy brass clasps. He had Just got it into his lap without attracting attention and was going to open it and show the photographs to the girl next to him when le made a start ling discovery. Something was moving inside the album. He distinctly felt the vibration of moving machinery. With apprehensive quickness he shoved the album back onto the table. But he did it so rapidly that every one in the room noticed the movement and looked at him In sileqt reproval. And all the time he could hear the clicking of that machinery and felt in stinctively that something was about to hapepn. Just then something did happen. The minister was speaking tenderly of the deceased and of the beauties of the place to which his spirit had taken its flight, of the streets of gold and the songs of the angels. Then from the family album on the table came the opening measures of that rattling rag-time "THere'll be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight." The album was a bluff: it was a music box in disguise, and it was getting under way in great shape. The minister stopped. But the music box didn't. It kept right on. The young man who had accidentally started the profane concert clutched it desperately and tried to throttle it. But it was no use. It insisted on going whether or no, and go it did to the end of the tune, while the entire funeral party waited for the end. Then the minister went on, but having a sense of humor that is well developed he had hard work to keep his face in proper funeral trim. DEWEY DIDN'FDO IT. Hobson Says Spaniards Scuttled Their Own Ships. Vancouver-, B. C, Sept. 20. In an in terview with Lieutenant R. P. Hobson, printed in a local paper, Hobson is quot ed as saying that Admiral Dewey did not sink the Spanish ships at Manila, but that the Spaniards opened the valves and scuttled the ships themselves. He said, according to the interview, that our shell fire did very little damage. TCRF CONGRESS MEETS. Hot Fight Results Over Change in Race Sleeting Sates. Chicago, Sept. 20. At 2 o'clock this morning the American Turf Congress, after an all night session adjourned un til 10 a. m. today. Just before adjourn ment a rule was adopted restricting the racing dates in Chicago and St. Louis to the time between June 10 and October 26, apportioning the rest of the time to southern tracks, thus giving them no op position. This measure was proposed a year ago, but failed of Its purpose. Last night, when everything was going smoothly and the local men were prac tically off their guard the measure was brought up and passed by a vote of 7 to 5. This vote came only after an hour of filibustering and protest from the Chi cago, St. Louis and New Orleans delega tions. James Howard, the newly elect ed president, hurriedly called another to the chair, that he might argue against the measure. But the representatives of the smaller tracks had counted noses in advance and knew. where their ma jority stood, so all efforts to defeat the rule was unavailing. Finally the local men and their allies secured an adjourn ment until this morning at 10 o clock, when the defeated faction will endeavor to secure a reconsideration. James Howard pf Washington Park, Robert Aull of St. Louis, C. S. Bush of New Orleans and Martin Nathanson of Chicago, left together for today's ses sion. The vote by tracks on the ques tion was as follows: Yeas Louisville, Latonia. Nashville, Little Rock, Memphis, Newport and Highland Park.

Miss Elisabeth I Williams writes from Goliad, Tex.: "I wish to tell you what a great friend I have found in Peruna. A year ago I was taken with the dreadful disease, ca tarrh. At the time I did not know what it was. I tried everything that I could think of, or that anyone would tell me. I consulted two doctors but neither or them did me any good, and I was con stantly growing worse all the time. "I was in college at the time, and after coming home I found in our house a Peruna almanac, and looking over it I found questions that fitted my case. I wrote Dr. Hartman at once. He wrote me that I was suffering from catarrh, and told me what to do. "I have taken several bottles of Pe runa and now I am entirely welt. Peruna has not only cured me ol catarrh, but also of female complaints, of which I suffered a great deal. I shall always keep Peruna, and I do highly recommend it to every one In the land, especially to young girls and women.. "I feel that I owe a world of gratitude to Dr. Hartman and Peruna," A constant drain of mucus from the system is known as systemic catarrh. This may occur from any organ of the body.. Systemic catarrh is more com mon In spring and summer than in the winter. A course of Peruna now will do much more good than in the in clement weather of winter.
