Floppers are reminded that they will have to hurry if they wish to get their flops registered. The emperor of China has pointed out the guilty persons, now let Germany catch them if she can. Jt takes orators like Bryan, Roosevelt End Bourke Cockran to dispel the clouds of apathy which hover over the cam paign. Perhaps Mr. ITanna's hurried return to the west was brought about by a dee-ire to place himself in closer proximity to Senator Beveridge. Chicago Record: By judiciously pick ing the place in which to take a straw vote it is possible to prove that any body will be elected to any office. Among western cities which have doubled their population In the past ten years, thereby placing themselves in the 100.000 class are St. Joe, Memphis and Los Angeles. The people of Massachusetts appear "to be in no hurry to mix up over the is sues of the campaign. Both parties hold their state conventions this week, but a month before election. In England literature appears to be ;fast becoming a stepping stone to politi cal preferment. In this countiy there ihas not yet appeared, to any marked de gree, a tendency to place our book wri ters in congress. The fact that tb.- execution of Jim fHoward for the murder of Gov. Goebel ii as been set for a. date subsequent to the election, indicates that there is still ground upon which he may base a hope of escape from the extreme penalty. Fluctuations of prices are now easily explained. If they go up it is because of the prosperity which the McKinley administration has brought to the coun try; if they go down It Is because of the (ear that the administration may not be retained in power. Try their hardest the prosperity mak ers have not been able to put wheat up to a dollar a bushel. The only man who ias succeeded in doing that was Mr. Tseph Leiter. Strange to say, no party thought of nominating him for the pres idency this year. What were the farm ers of the country about? Philadelphia North American: A physician of this city who approves of the shirt-waist man says that another logical reform would be the bare-headed man. He thinks the idea would be pop ular, because its adoption would tend to reduce baldness. The fastidious woman iwho protests against a man removing Jiis coat could find no lack of courtesy in the man who kept his head uncovered. FACTS ABOUT TRUSTS. IV. From the New York World. The cost of creating the tin plate In dustry in the t'nited States has been Fince 1SS1 about $S4,000,000 to the -whole-pale dealers and about .$100,000,000 to the consumers. This is the sum paid In the increased cost of plate3 which has been made possible by the tariff. The American Tin Plate company of Kew Jersey was formed in November, 3S9S. This trust owns about every tin S'late mill in the country. It makes about 99 per cent of all the plates used In this country. In order to strengthen Its monopoly it has an agreement to ake all the tin plate machinery made In the country for five years to come. 3t has also a practical monopoly of all the bars used for making tin plates. It tias also restricted production by closing Ebout eighty mills, thus throwing more than S.000 men out of employment. The mill property bought by the trust can be duplicated for $6,000,000. The total Rssets of the trust aggregate about $12, C0O.00O. But its capital is $50,000,000 J30.000.000 In common stock and $20,000, 000 in preferred stock. For the property the trust paid $18,000,000 in common and 18,000,300 in preferred stock, something like six times the value of the plants. The promoter received $10,000,000 In com mon stock, and $2,000,000 of each kind of ptock was retained by the company. The profits of this trust are very large. It increased the New York price of a box of American tin plate of 100 pounds from I2.S0. the price in November, ISPS, when rhe trust was formed, to $4. So in Septem ber, lb,SS. It is enabled to do this by the Dingley tariff tax of $1.50 a box. It charged just 30 cents a box less than the a-'nglish price 3.6.S) with the tariff tax added, and thus kept out light foreign plates. The effect of the action of this trust In raising prices has been widely felt by the canning industry and by the farmers who raise fruits and vegetable for can ning. It makes e-ery dinner pail full or empty more expensive, and it raises the price of every- tin plate kitchen uten Bil and of every bit of tin roofing. GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. No woman weighing over 125 pounds should affect baby ribbons ia trimming tor her clothes. Whenever a plugged quarter is found ta ton family treasury, it ia Noble Wo man who ia most successful at passing it off. While women admire truth In a man, they are noc pleased with the truthful ness that leads him to admit that he has been In love before. According to the latest rule, when a young man falls in live with a girl, the girl's father is compelled to board him about half the time. An Atchison woman who gave a re ception, recently owes an apologyy to every one of her neighbors: she didn't borrow a thing from one of them. So prevalent Is Indigestion that in stead of preparing a feast for a guest, a hostess is more apt. to strike it if she serves health foods and hot water. A woman forgets by the time her boy baby ia six years old that she would rather have a girl, but her husband al ways remembers bis disappointment. The services of one man are worth a dollar a day, while the services of an other man are worth twenty dollars a day, or more. No amount of indignation will change this fact. An Atchison man whipped his wife re cently, and, instead of getting mad about it, she recalled with gratitude how many unmarried women there are in the world who have no husbands to whip them. Telling the truth has become so re spectable of late that when a man goes hunting or fishing, you can tell from bis story something of .what really happened. After a roan has scolded several times because his meals are not ready on time, his wife begins to talk of souls made better by passing through the fiery furnace. It is too bad; an Atchison girl who has had a "disappointment," is com pelled to see him every day, as if noth ing had happened. In novels, she would have -taken a whisk around the world to take her tnind off her troubles. An Atchison woman through the deaths of relatives, was kept in mourning from the time she was twen ty years old until she was forty. Now that she should be turning to subdued colors, she ia blossoming out in, pinks and blues. The rain, which has been falling steadily for four or five days, let up for a few minutes this afternoon, where upon the new reporter strolled into the office, and left the following item on the editor's desk: "The indications at this writing are that the ark will light before morning." A word to the women: This Is the time of the year to remember that no one ad mires a woman who weats a dead bird on her hat. If you must wear a corpse of some kind, wear the cadaver of a savage dog, and show that you have benefited the world by taking a pest out of it. POINTED PARAGRAPH? From the Chicago News. Even a dark lantern has Its bright side. A wall resembles a fish when it is scaled. Resignation la a good sauce for ad versity. Some houses have wings but they don't fly. Impudence is frequently the fruit of prosperity. Too many glasses are apt to make a tumbler of a man. To awaken a woman's curiosity ia to make her pliable. The finger of destiny is to be found on the hand of fate. Goliath was the first man to .wear a bang on the forehead. Dancing masters are always taking steps to raise money. No man is so illiterate that he cannot teach others something. As the salt savors the broth, so does labor give relish to pleasure. The rich man travels when he will; the poor man when he can. One should learn, to talk well also when it is well not to talk. Matrimonial bonds are not always a safe and profitable investment. Speaking of educated snakes, the adder Is In a class all by himself. A museum freak says that eating win dow glass gives him a pane. Many a man loves his enemy because It comes in a pocket flask. Men who have a lean and hungry look are usually the biggest eaters. Political orators are stump speakers, and dentists are stump-pullers. Some picture frames are hung because of their gilt and so are some men. Many a man secretly laughs at another who would be afraid to do it openly. With the exception of a discolored eye, anything hand painted is fashionable. The girl who chooses her husband be cause of his "rocks" has a marble heart. If you have a philosophical question to ask go to a philosopher, not to a cynic. The man who tries to ridicule another only succeeds In exhibiting his own ig norance. Never stop to argue with your ene mies. If they get in your way walk calmly around them. Some men don't do things because they are near-sighted, and some because they are far-sighted. When shrewd Ignorance resorts to questionable methods the confiding pub lic has to pay the freight. Kxecutive ability consists of knowing how to get the most work out of others without doing any yourself. Obstinacy Is so firmly rooted In the average woman's system that it is a waste of time to attempt to eradicate it. When a man Is discharged from bank ruptcy his earthly debts are paid but we are not so sure about his account on the books of the recording angel. About the only difference between laughing and crying is that laughinct draws the corners of the mouth up and crying pulls them down. QUAKER REFLECTION'S. From the Philadelphia Record. A standing order "Move up front!" A man may wear whiskers and still be a bare-faced liar. The reporter who Interviews theatri cal people musn't believe all the stars say. Even the church choir singer Is not averse to a game of chants. When a man dyes his hair lie dyes unhonored and unsung. The full dinner pail isn't to be men tioned in the same breath with the full coal bin. The man who wears his religion on his sleeve sometimes finds himself out at the elbows. Hoax "That fellow always looks down in the mouth." Hoax "Naturally; he's a dentist." This is the time of year when the frost 13 on the pumpkin and the cost Is on the wedding present. "The road to success," says the Man ayunk Philosopher, "has lots of grass growing in the ruts." Mrs. Muggins "Mrs. Closefist la still wearing her Bummer hat." Mrs. Buggins "Yes; her husband asked her which she would rather have, a fall hat or a ton of coal, and she can't make up her mind." Little Willie "Are" the hairs of our heads all numbered, Mr. Smoothpate?" Mr. Smoothpate "So the Bible tells us, my boy." Little Willie "I guess the Good Man doesn't have much trouble keeping count of yours, does he?" He boasted of his pedigree. But when he went to college They would not give him his degree; And so, you see, his family tree .Was not the tree of knowledge. t M'LAUGHLIN QUITS- Objects to Helping Republicans So Gives Up Race for Congress, John G. McLaughlin, who accepted the nomination for congress from the So cialist convection in the Third congres sional district, has decided to withdraw and devote his energies to the election of A. M. Jackson, the Democratic nomi nee. He says that after making a thorough canvass of two counties he be came convinced that he was drawing votes from the Populist and Democratic parties and that by staying in the race he was doing good for the Republicans alone. For this reason he decided to withdraw and will work Tor the entire Democratic ticket. He has given out a long letter in which he urges the union labor men in his district to support Jackson, Bryan and Breidenthal. The withdrawal of Mr.McLaughlin al most assures the election of Mr. Jack son as the Third district has been car ried by the Fusionists for the past four years. It is the center of organized la bor and includes the great mining dis trict of Kansas. G. C. Clemens has called his commit tee together to put a man on the ticket in place of McLaughlin. HAZING AT OLI VET. Conceited Freshman Held Under Town Pump and Soaked. Olivet, Mich., Oct. 2. A f.eshman was hazed here last r.ight for the first time in years. The youngster had been mak ing himself generally disagreeable, air ing his vast knowledge and Instructing the upper-class men. His fall came when a crowd captured him and took him to the pump near Parson's hall. He was then blindfolded and securely held under trie pump, while willing hands worked the handle. not appreciating the momentous occa sion he sang during the early part of the ordeal, but when cold water ran out of his trousers legs his song ceased. SEWAGE DEATH TO FISH. Chicago's Drainage Canal Kills Finny Tribe in Illinois River. La Salle, 111., Oct. 2. P. De Grote of Peru mourns over the fact that the wa ter from the drainage canal is killing the fish in the Illinois river and cutting off his means of support. During the time the flow of water through the drainage canal was shut off the river here dropped nearly three feet and the sewage of Chicago piled up in the Chicago river and the canal. When the bear-trap dam was lowered and the water started again down the Illinois the filth came down in a mass, and the result was that a large portion of the fish in the river speedily died. Mr. De Grote says that if this performance is to be repeated In the future the fisher men along the river may hunt for other occupations. STUDENTS' SUNDAY PAPER. Michigan University Daily Will Have No Issue oa ."Hon days. Ann Arbor, Mich., Oct. 2. The Uni versity of Michigan's Daily's board has decided that they will hereafter issue regular Sunday morning editions and discontinue the Monday morning issues.

The student editors argue that under the new plan their work is done on Sat urday evenings, while heretofore they have been compelled to grind out matter on Sunday evenings for the Monday is sue.

Judge Dolman is getting after the druggists who hold permits to sell liquor. Today he revoked the permit of W. A. Karr, the East Fifth street drug gist. Karr was slow about reporting his sales on the first of each month accord ing to law and has been careless about filling out his dispensary blanks. Judge Dolman today notified him that his per mit would no longer be in force. "There are others who will receive the same notice unless they comply with the law." said Judge Dolman today.

The Indians were too drunk when they were arrested to give their names and this morning when a man called at the station in order to find an Indian friend, he was taken to the rock pile to pick out his man. As soon as the In dians caught sight of him they set up a howl, each Indian thinking he had come to bail them out.

Mark Twain's cure for a cold In the head was simple, but he claims very effective in his own case; his plan was to eat nothing whatever for twenty four hours or presumably until the trou ble had disappeared. Although not ableto speak from, per sonal experience as to the effectiveness of this treatment. It certainly has the merit of extreme economy, but it occurs to us that the application of it to a case of nasal catarrh might be attended with difficulties. Catarrh, as everyone knows. Is a chronic cold In the head and Mr. Twain's treatment, If it should become a fad, would make of us a nation of f asters; an army, emulating the example of the immortal Tanner who achieved world wide fame by fasting forty days. Catarrh is certainly becoming a na tional disease and there is little doubt but that errors in diet, particularly overeating; Is a very common cause. Most people however are more in terested in the cure of the trouble than in the cause, and modem medical science has produced more effective and less heroic remedies titan Mr. Twain's. Guaiacol is a new remedy, very effec tive in some formsof Catarrh. Eucalyptol is another which on account of its anti septic properties is very valuable, while many severe cases of Chronic Catarrh have been entirely cured by the aangui naria or extract of Blood root alone. Within a year an enterprising chemist has combined all of these remedies in tablet form, palatable and convenient and the superiority of this tablet over other catarrh remedies is so apparent that all druggists now carry them in stock to supply the popular demand. They are called Stuart's Catarrh Tab lets and it ia doubtful if any medicine has achieved a national popularity in J short a time as this. Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are used by thousands of traveling men because they can be carried in the pocket and used any time and in any quantity being free from Cocaine, opiate or any poisonous drug. They clear the head and throat from the disgusting secretions of catarrh, very often in a few hours' time. For nasal Catarrh they are far su perior to any wash, lotion or ointment the use of which is often as inconvenient and annoying as the disease itself. For coughs, colds, bronchial catarrh and catarrh of the stomach these tablets eive immediate relief and permanent cure where lotions, douches and inhalers make no Impression whatever. This preparation is a boon, to catarrh sufferers and any druggist will tell you that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets Is a rem edy that has come to stay. BAY STATE DEMOCRATS Meet in Farm oil Hall to Name a State Ticket. Boston, Oct. 2. The Democrats) of Massachusetts met in Fanueil hall and nominated a full state ticket and adopt ed resolutions setting forth the issues of the present national campaign and the principles upon which they urge the voters of the state to support their can didate.

It was reported at noon today that a man had committed suicide at the Fourth avenue hotel, but the report proved false. Although the man was "laid out" for dead he is very much alive. The man Is Aaron Booth, who lives at Girard. He came here yester day and stopped at the Fourth avenue hotel, telling the proprietor that he had a place in the insane asylum. He was sick and had a lot of medicine In his grip. This morning he was sitting in the office when he became sick. In a short time the men who were In the office playing checkers, noticed that Booth was gasping for breath and they at once did what they could for him, but in a few minutes he was apparently dead. They took it for granted that he had committed suieid and carried him upstairs, where they laid, him on a bed. Dr. S. A. Johnson was called and after working with him for an hour succeed ed In bringing him back to conscious ness. The man had taken an overdose of medicine which contained morphine.

The train bearing the Roosevelt party made an extended stop here today, A meeting was held at the opera house. Governor Roosevelt spoke briefly on the issues of the day, saying he did not know now what the paramount issues of the oppo sition party were. He said he did not think the Democratic party was happy in selecting as an issue of the campaign, the dishonor of the American flag. Whatever the issue might be he said he was ready to meet them on it. At Lexington, Neb., Governor Roose velt said: "I have but a moment in which to speak to you, I want to take advantage of this first opportunity of answering a criticism of Mr. Bryan and of putting a question to him in return. No question can be asked me either about my past record as governor, or concerning any present issues that I am not ready to answer. I would like to have similar frankness from our oppo nents. Last week at Blair, in this state, Mr. Bryan spoke of what I bad said about the ice trust. His speech was re ported as follows: That if Governor Roosevelt was right in this matter the remedy lies with himself as governor of the state in which the trust was sup posed to exist, as tie possessed the power to destroy it.' "That is hardly correct. As a matter of governmental knowledge I cannot call out the militia to destroy a trust. What can be done is to have the legis lature pass and the governor sign a law to do away with the trust and then have the attorney general proceed under that law to enforce it according to the best of his capacity. "Now are not these the only things that can be done? Well, I have done them both. In the first year of my term as governor we passed a very severe anti-trust law and now the attorney general is proceeding under that law against the ice trust. The difficulty comes in the delay caused by the trusts counsel, as they are appealing, as they have a right to" appeal, to every legal technicality, and are making every ef fort to stop a decision on thrf merits of the case. The people who are responrst ble for the action of the trusts are the stockholders of the trusts who are among others Mr. Richard Croker, the leader of the Democratic party in New York and Van Wyck, who was my op ponent for governor of New York two years ago, running on an anti-trust plat form and now is one of the biggest stockholders in the ice trust. "Mr. Van Wyck was the New York member of the committee on resolutions at Kansas City, which drew up the anti trust platform. Messrs Croker and Van Wyck and their party associates like Mr. Guggenheimer, president of the board of aldermen, and Corporation Counsel Whalen of New York, are very severe on trusts in theory; in practice they are members of the worst trust In the coun try. Now the attorney general Is pro ceeding against that trust and if Mr. Croker and Mr. Van Wyck and their associates who are members of the trust were not employing the best counsel in the state to delay action we would have had a decision of the court long ago. "The Republican attorney general Is pressing that action in every way un der the law. introduced by a Democrat, but passed by a Republican legislature and signed by myself. We are opposed by Mr. Bryan's ardent supporters in New York, the heads of the Democratic party in that state. Now, as I have an swered that question, I wish Mr. Bryan would enlighten- us on the point as to whether, if he comes into office, he will pay the obligations of the nation in gold or silver. I will gladly answer any ques tion he puts and I would like to have him answer whether, if the consent of the governed that he Is so insistent upon, must be had in the Philippines, -why it should not be Insisted upon In North Carolina as well." At Kearney, Governor Roosevelt said: "I noticed the other day when some body pointed out to Mr. Bryan that farm produce In Nebraska had advanced 15 to 60 per cent and real estate 25 per cent and saving -bank deposits had in creased 25 per cent while mortgages had decreased 40 per cent. Mr. Bryan re sponded that the Republican party al ways claimed credit for everything Providence did. Well, I am perfectly willing to admit there has been a fusion between Providence and the Republican partq. By doing Just as the Republican party has done in the last four years, we assure in the future a continuance of the same prosperity which we have seen during these same four years."

TOPEKA STATE JOU11XAL, ill' i'riiia;iiiiii,miiiiiiillril v. 1 Jr. ,f 1 V J .-1 r '-i vs ,.'fv n 't- ,s 3 r-KM 'ltoVHTrEa OUEEN W( f f IHOUGH PAST EIGHTY, THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND RETAINS HER MENTAL VIGOR AND SOMETHING OF HER GOOD LOOKS. A RECENT PICTURE OF HER HAS JUST BEEN PLACED ON ENGLAND'S NEW SEAL. ENGLAND HAS A NEW SEAL OF STATE. A Marvel ously Beautiful Picture of Her Majesty Will Soon Be Turned Out of Great Britain's Mint. England has a r.ew seal of state and it is a work of art. It is a very im portant object and will soon be turned out from the mint of Great Britain. The reasons for making a new seal within the past year are that the wear and tear of tha old one, which was en graved in 18TS, have superannuated it, and the task was entrusted to Mr. de Saulles, the mint engraver. The de signs were approved by the Queen, and work on the seal has already begun. The seal on its "principal' side re presents the Queen seated on her throne, the arms of which are sup ported by lions. Her Majesty is crowned, vested in a richly embroidered robe and habited in the royal orna ments with the ribbon and star of the Order of the Garter. In her right hand she holds the sceptre, her left reposes on the arm of the throne. AN ELABORATE DESIGN. At her feet is an ornamented cushion, embroidered with the rose, shamrock and thistle, placed on a foot stool. The throne is adorned with a wreath of laurel confined by a ribbon. On the Queen's right is a figure of St. George, fully armed, and bearing a lance with pennon. On her left stands St. Michael resting on his sheathed sword. The panels supporting these figures bear respectively the sword and scales of justice surrounded by laurel leaves. The legend round the seal runs as fol lows: "Victoria, Dei Gratia, BrJtt, Ke gina. Fid. Def., Ind. Imp." The counter-seal represents the Queen crowned, mounted on her pal frey, and in the royal mantle. In her right hand she holds the sceptre, in her left the orb. In the field to the right are the royal arms on a shield, encircled by the Order of the "Garter with its motto. Above is a scroll with the words "Dieu et Mon Droit," and on either side are the rose, shamrock and thistle. Be low, in the distance, is the sea, with an ironclad and a sailing vessel, suggest ing the naval strength and trade of the United Kingdom, which are further in dicated at the base by the presence of a trident, dolphins and conventional waves, whi-h are continued in the or nament on either side the lower part of the counter-seal. THE VALUE OF SPORTS IN THE FUTURE. if the Money Element Is Introduced They Will Gradually De teriorate in Beauty and in Enjoyment- The value of athletics when practised in the right spirit is only equalled by their perniciousnes3 when practised in the wrong spirit. They deserve cordial and enthusiastic support. The time or thought spent upon them, great as it may seem, is justified by their educa tional influence. But side by side with this support and as part of it we must have unsparing condemnation of the whole spirit of professionalism. I do not refer to those grosser and more ob vious forms of professionalism which college sentiment has already learned to condemn. Nor do I chiefly refer to the betting by which intercollegiate contests are accompanied, though this is a great and real evil and does much to bring other evils in its train. I refer to something more widespread, which Etill remains as a menace to American college athletics the whole system of regarding athletic achievement as a Bort of advertisement of one's prowess, and of valuing success for its own sake By President Arthur D. Hadley of Yale. and for the sake of the honor which comes in achieving it by honorable methods. I know that the condition of the athletic discipline in a college makes a difference in its attractiveness to a large and desirable class of young men, and rightly so. Whether a victory or a series of victories makes such a dif ference and increases the numbers that attend the university I do not know, and do not care to know. The man who allows his mind to dwell on euch a question, if he is not tempted to vio late the ethics of amateur sport, is, at any rate, playing with temptation in a dangerous and in a reprehensible way. I am glad to Relieve that our colleges and our nation as a whole are becom ing better able to understand the love of sport for its own sake. The growth of this spirit through three generations has relieved English universities of some of the problems which to-day confront us in America. To the growth :r V i"t' I 7 PRESIDENT HADLEY. OF YALE. of this spirit we must trust ourselves for its solution here. I am heartily ready to co-operate in any attempts that other colleges may make to lay down clear rules for the practice of intercollegiate athletics, because the absence of such co-operation would be misunderstood and might give cause for suspicion where none should exist. But I cannot conceal the fact that the majority of such rules can only touch the surface of the diffi culty, arid that so far as tt?y distract attention from the moral element in the case, which is beyond the reach of rules, they may prove a positive hin drance to progress. If we can enter into athletics for the love of honor in the broadest sense of the word, un mixed with the love of gain in any sense, we may now and then lose a few students, but we shall grow better year after .year in all that makes for sound university life. The development of college athletics has been of great service in counter acting some of the dangerous tenden cies of the day. Open to criticism as athletics may be for their unnecessary expense, for the betting that goes on in connection with them and for the distorted views they encourage as to the relative importance of different things of life, they yet have a place in education which is of overwhelming importance. The physical training which they involve, good as it may be, is but a small part or the benefit achieved. The moral training is great er. Where seores of men are working hard for an honor and hundreds more are Infected with their spirit, the moral force of such an emulation is not to be despised. Strance Vmt at Pottage Stamps. Certain monks at the Hospital of St Jean de Dieu, at Ghent, have in their leisure moments decorated the walls with gorgeous landscapes glowing in color and full of life, which are form ed entirely by means of the postage stamps of all the nations of the world.

LIFE STORY OF THE BOERS' GREAT GENERAL," How De Wet Arose and Conducted Himself With a That Earned the Respect of Tommy Atkins. Bravery If the commanders in the South African war on the Boer side have one quality which equals in excellence their unswerving determination, it is their capability to carry on a work which others have started and left off, with a success which almost equals that of the leaders of that particular work. No one would claim for a moment that the places of General Cronje and the late lamented General Joubert could be easily filled in truth it is doubtful if the Transvaal will ever produce more valiant men yet it must be admitted that handicapped as Oom Paul's people have been by the loss of such great leaders they have held out in their struggle against England with a tenacity unequalled in modern war fare. And to whom is this success mainly due? The living answer to this query is found, many claim, in the per son of the loyal and fearless General De Wet. HIS LIFE. When first Christian De Wet leaped into prominence in the South African campaign it was currently reported that he had lived for some time in En gland, and had, moreover, taken his degree at Cambridge University. In connection with the famous Boer lead er such a report was, however, erron eous to the point of absurdity". The Boer general is not only himself totally devoid of culture, but he loathes learning as the badge of British servi tude. J a word of English Is ever spoken in his household; if the general himself knows any, which is not unlikely, he is most careful to conceal the fact. Some years back De Wet became a member of the Free State Volksraad, the Parliament which used to meet in the Raadzaal at Bloemfontein. And here again his utter detestation of En gland came to the fore. This feeling, indeed, appeared to be De Wet's mov ing spirit. Rarely taking part in dis cussions concerning only matters of Free State government, the mere men tion of any English question was suf ficient to rouse him into ferment. He is no orator, but on such occasions he would pour forth a torrent of coarse and bitter invective the natural ex pression of the deep-rooted hatred of the uneducated man. To such an ex tent, indeed, was De Wet influenced by this feeling that even in his public life he would allow it to make himself ap pear utterly ridiculous. On one occa sion it was proposed to appoint an En glishman as teacher of English at the Grey College at Bloemfontein. De Wet opposed the appointment in his usual bitter fashion, and, French being taught at the college by a Hollander, considered that it would be more log ical to have English taught by a Ger man. He had great influence both in the Volksraad and in the country, and in the critical election for the Presidency of the Free State in 1S96 he took a prominent part in the agitation in support of the candidacy of Mr. Steyn. All through the troubled times which followed the Jameson raid up to the declaration of war De Wet's voice was raised time and again in ravor of the Free State casting its lot with the Transvaal, and when at last his coun sels bore fruit in the October of last year he, as in 1SS0, was one of the first to shoulder a rifle and take the field. He was with the Free Staters who in vaded Natal, but until he got his sep arate command at Sanna's Post very little was heard of him. His list of exploits since that first gTeat success of his have given frequent occasion for me wisn mat such a daring and re sourceful foe had never emerged from the comparative oblivion in which he had till then existed. In personal appearance the Boer commander is like so many other great soldiers, by no means striking. He is of medium height and square build, and the only characteristics which dra"- attention to the man are the strong lines of his face and the keen, restless, blue eyes. His dress is care less, but cleanly enough, and his beard runs wild. Of his method of fighting a famous war correspondent writf-s as follows: "He has no orderly idea of his own tactics. Days after a battle I have waited upon him and failed utterly to recognize his plans and description of a fight we have seen togethf S A r.. jf Of v s r f tit M I VP THIS PICTURE SHOWS GEN. DE WET IN THE FRON T OF THE BOER FIGHTING LINE. CHINA IN SEARCH OF A NEW GOD. History Shows That She Miht Have een the Greatest Chn.vtiau Satioa. on the Globo. By Kdgar Mela. Had the Embassy of Emperor Wlng te, A. D. 65, of the Ming dynasty gone fifteen hundred miles furth.-r on Its Journey in search of the incarnated God, China would have been one of th greatest Christian nations on the globe and ull the present tcoubie would hav been avoided. In order to properly understand th conditions leading to a search for th incarnated God it will be necessary to go a little into the history of China of mat aay. -j he Ming dynasty, which ruled then, had brought China out of a slough of despond into which it had sunk because of the terrible corruption into which the precepts of Confuciou and Lao-tze had fallen. These two great teachers were to China what Marcus Aurelius Antonius was to the Komans. All three taught the value of good, the necessity of doing good, and other precepts based upon' the same proposition. After the death of tha Chinese philosophers their teachings became corrupted until Conf uclii.niHm. became another name for ceremonial usatre. and Lao-tzeism, under the nam of Taoism, a worship or spirits. STItANGIS RUMOKS. It was then, when China was th most highly civilized nation, when it counted gunpowder among its inven tions, that the Ming rulers sought to find the true religion something mor noble than a worship of spirits or cere monials. While Ftiil discussing the matter rumors spread far and near that a new prophet the incarnation of the real God had appeared in the far west. Strange stories were whimpered beneath the breath of the marvellous power of this new God how he had raised the dead and had performed other miracles. This eventually reached the ears of the emperor. Calling the literary and scientific men before him he demanded to know their opinions. After long consultation It was de cided to send an embassy to the incar nated God, with rich offerings, and to ask him to come to China to preach the true word. So a great caravan of richly-decorated camels was gathered, and magnificent offerings loaded upon their backs. There were superb silks, glittering, precious stones, the choicest incense, magnificent ivory carvings, and the finest products of all China. Attended by a huge retinue' of cool ies, and servants, and soldiers, the em bassy, consisting of China's most learned men. started south, along the coast -line, for, in those days, it was not safe to travel too far inland. Days and weeks the caravan travelled. Each day prayers were offered to the incar nate God. On went the cavalcade, passing beyond the boundaries of China, into the unknown land beyond. everywhere the mission went, th word of the search was passed, and soon a huge array entered India. IN INDIA. Once there the stories of the Incar nate God became more circumstantial, and with renewed courage the ambas sadors pressed on. At last southern India was reached and a positive clue discovered at least, eo the embassy thought. Tes. the nativesJ had heard of a great prophet. There is a Christian De Wet who took his B.A. at Cambridge, but he is a much younger man and a member of a .totally different family. The real Christian De Wet was born on a farm near the township of De wetsdorp, in the Orange River Colony then the Orange Free State some what over forty years ago. The fam ily of De Wet is well known through out that district, and the township of Dewetsdorp took its name from the general's father. The boy Christian De Wet received but a few months' schooling, and then went to-work at once. As he grew up he proved himself a good and eminent ly practical farmer and a shrewd man of business. Under his efforts the farm prospered well, and yielded a comfortable income. Though he al ways maintained his inborn hatred of the TJitlanders and TJitlander ways, he did not carry this feeling so far as to refuse British gold, and in his efforts to acquire it he has been known to aid in driving 400 pigs from Bloemfontein to the market place in Johannesburg. This peaceful life on the farm was continued until the outbreak of war be tween Great Britain and the Trans vaal in 1880. Then the chance of strik ing a blow at the "verdomde Engelseh man" led him to temporarily abandon his farm life. He formed one of the many Free Staters who defied their President's declaration of neutrality, and went off to fight side by side with the Transvaalers in their struggle. He served under Joubert throughout that conflict, and took part in all the battles in Natal. HIS FIRST FIGHTING. He was at Laing's Nek, the Ingogo River, and Majuba. At Majuba he was one of the half-hundred burghers from the Free State who volunteered to storm the hill; and the uniform of a Highlander, who was shot by him on that occasion, is to this day among the Boer general's trophies of the battle. At the conclusion of the war after peace was proclaimed De Wet returned to his farm and settled down afresh to his old humdrum life. Shortly after wards he married, and though himself a member of the Dutch Reformed Church, he chose his wife from a Dop per family, one of those-stern, hard, uncompromising adherents of the old Dutch faith, opposed to every and any change or reform. He has had sev eral children, the oldest being a son, now about eighteen years of age, who has been with his father in several of the raids and expeditions for which he has become famous during the present campaign. In the bringing up of his children General De Wet's hatred of all things English has been further ev idenced. Not one of them has received any education to speak of, and al though one or two of the elder ones have picked up a smattering of Eng lish, it would be as much as their lives ova .i-r-..-.V. r .1 i r-..T n thai. l-nMrlad era before their stern, taciturn father.

The election In Gal way City yesterday resulted in another conservative gain. The Hon. Martin Morris polled 882 votes against 763 votes polled by E. Leamy, Nationalist. The Unionist gains thus far, there fore are three seats and the Liberals gain one seat. The total returns of the opposed and unopposed candidates up to 2 o'cloek this afternoon foot up 173, comprising: Conservatives 118; Unionists 25; Liberals 16; Nationalists 14. The members elected include Sir Mat thew "White Ridley, the secretary of state for home affairs (Blackpool divis ion of Lancashire); Victor W.

Tanner, a whip of the Irish party, (Middle di vision of Cork), and Patrick O'Brien, al so a whip of the Irish party (Kilkenny City.) The interest today centers in the Bat tersea division of London, from which seat R. Garton, Conservative is trying to oust John Burns, labor leader and Socialist. The fight in this district is the stiffest in London and a great deal of ill feeling has been in evidence be tween the contending factions through out the campaign. There has been in tense excitement in the constituency since day break today and large drafts of extra police have been sent to Bat tersea in order to maintain peace and see that both candidates get fair play. The Conservatives count on enough lib eral secessions owing to Mr. Burns' ex treme views on the subject of the war to enable them to reverse the verdict of 1895. when Mr. Burns polled 5,019 votes to 4,766 for C.

Balfour, the government lead er in the house of commons and first lord of the treasury is a candidate for re-election in East Manchester there is much faith in the old proverb "what Lancashire says today the rest of Eng land will say tomorrow." INSPIRING SIGHT. Topeka People See Battle of San Juan and Glimpse of Army Life. Once upon a time, and that within the memory of young- people, too, the popular "Wild "West show was just an ordinary adjunct to a three-ring1 circus. It was merely an act, usually the concluding- one, and it took so well that it was speedily detached from the old-time circus. A dis tinctive amusement enterprise was launched and its popularity still holds. People delight to witness the hardihood, courage and daring- of men of all nations, as a spectacle,, and the instinctive martial spirit welcomes a display of arms and the men who use them skillfully. There is much patriotism in it. also, and the scenes that a "Wild West portrays instruct as well as amuse because they enact history as it was made in distant and in recent years. Showing how it was done and how it is done. Buffalo Bill led his band of rough riders of the world through a maze of evolutions on the Oouthitt tract twice Monday. At the two performances fully 15.000 people watched them. The one distinctive feature seen here for the first time was the reproduction of the battle of San Juan hill. It was one of the most inspiring incidents of the Spanish-American war. and in the "Wild West amohitheater it is shown with startling realism. The American army marches upon the field to the strains of "A Plot Time," there being introduced de tachments cf rough riders. Twenty-fourth infantry, Ninth and Tenth cavalry, Grimes' battery. Garcia?s Cuban scouts, in line with history. Then comes the bivouac. Under the pale crescent moon last night it was pretty. As came fires lighted up the arena here and there, elec tric lights were extinguished, the big au dience was perfectly quiet, and the effect was panoramic. The soldier boys pftched their tents, two Ninth cavalry lihtstep pers did a cake walk to the "Girl I I-eft Behind Me" in the glare of their camp fire, but merriment was succeeded by a patriotic outburst as the national air was sung in "Goodnight.' With the break of day the armv is off to the attack. San Juan fortifications are disclosed to view guarded by the Spanish army. Unexpectedly the besiegers make their appearance near the entrance gate and advance in a series of skirmishes. A rapid-fire gun keeps up a continuous performance on the left and the fighters advance steadily up the hill before a steady fire, and at last Old Glory waves triumphant over the burning rampart. Among the daring feats of horseman ship the exhibition of veterans of the Sixth cavalry received especial apprecia tion. Without saddles the cavalrymen rode, leaping hurdles at the sides of their galloping horses and throwing themselves "RED CHEEKS." "Other Children Have, Why Not Yours?" The above comments occur in a letter referring to proper selection of food, from E. J. Wilson, 342 Hemlock St., Allegheny, Pa. "When our first baby boy reached seven months, he began to lose strength and grow pale. He could not digest any of the ordinary baby foods or prepared milk. "Acting on the advice of a sister-in-law who was bringing the roses to the cheeks of her two children, by their diet of Grape-Nuts food, my wife pur chased a package and began feed ing it gradually t,o our baby, preparing it with a little hot water until it was the consistency of a thick gruel. She not only fed it to the baby but herself began eating it three times a day. "The transformation was wonderful. Within a month the baby was free from all stomach trouble and my wife's strength was completely renewed, that feeling of fatigue having entirely disap peared. Do not over-feed when giving Grape-Nuts food to the baby. Other children have red cheeks, why not yours?" This food is concentrated and requires less in volume than any food known. Its delicious taste wins friends and the re markable effects win the reason of any thoughtful person. It was originally pre pared for brain workers, but the effect upon the nerve centers and brain is so valuable that it can be used with even nursing babies, to their very great advantage.

Johnnie Baker, Annie Oakley and Col. Cody's exhibitions of marksmanship show the same consummate skill at rifle practice as in previous years. For seven minutes the dancing dervish kept up his spinning on a pedestal, while a dozen Arab acrobats went end over end all over the arena. Hassan Ali Bey held up nine of his brethren in a pyramid and completed his exhibition of feats or strength by trotting the whole length of the arena carrying three men above his head. Many smiles resulted from the Indian dances, bucking bronchos, cowboy tun and the dozens of other features shown. Buffalo Bill, at the head of his imposing array of equestrian nations in their great roundups at the opening and finale of the programme, typifies the daring horseman of the plains. OLD CROWD WINS.

A mother de nouncing her son as a cold-blooded mur derer and threatening, in case he is not hanged, to see that he is put out of the way by other means was the spectacle presented here yesterday when Mrs. Dora Lundroot told the story of the kill ing of her husband by her son, Louis Keutemeyer, on Sauvies island. Mrs. Lundroot declares her son planned the deed two years ago, and that he had been waiting only for a suitable oppor tunity to commit the crime. The trouble, she says, arose through the jealousy of Keutemeyer because Mrs. Lundroot's mother deeded to Lundroot thirty acres of land and gave nothing to Keutemeyer. She declares Keutmeyer had threatened not only his step-father's life, but the lives of other persons on the island, and that if he is not hanged she and those persons will see that he is put out of the way. i MISS GREENSPAN RETURNS.

THREE AWFUL NIGHTS Described by One Who Waa With the Besieged at Fekin. San Francisco, Oct. 2. Miss Cecile Payen, the young miniature painter, who went to Pekin last spring as the guest of Minister and Mrs. Conger, told a graphic story of the siege on her ar rival here. "Of the whole eight weeks of terrible anxiety and dread, she said, "three nights stand out with special promi nence. They are spoken of by the be sieged as 'the three terrible nights.' The first was just before the siege about June 17 or IS. That was while we were in the American legation. We went in to the British legation compound on June 20. The night I speak of was one the foreigners will never forget. All night long went up cries and howls of thousands upon thousands of Chinese, crying for the blood of the foreigners. "The second terrible night was about the middle of the siege.when, after three or four days of muggy and sultry weather, one of the most violent thun der storms I ever experienced broke over the city. Everybody had predicted that with the coming of the rain, the Chinese would cease firing, but the ef fect was just the opposite. It was a night of bellowing thunder, roaring ar tillery, incessant lightning and pouring rain. "The third and last night of horrors was that of August 13, the day before the relief came. On that night the Chi nese were fairly frantic and moved heaven and earth to break in and kill us. Firing that had seemed furious was tame compared with the hail of shot and shell that poured in upon us that night. It came from all quarters and seemed to be from every imaginable kind of fire arms. We had received reports of the approach of the relief column, and knew that it must be near, from the frantic attempts of the Chinese to slay us. We expected that any moment might be our last, as many breaches were made by shells and a determined assault at any one place would have opened the way for the hordes outside." WHO KILLED THE CHILD.
